THE PITTSBURGH COURIER. VOL. IL NO. 38. Marked Progress Shown In Rise of Two Energetic Tellers. CASES WHERE MERIT COUNTS Arkansas Afro-Americans Who Have Achieved Success In the Public, Professional and Civic Life of Little Rock—Former Letter Carrier New Superintendent of City Delivery. Little Rock, Ark.—A record of the achievements of the colored people of Arkansas, particularly of Little Rock, makes interesting reading. The struggles some of them have had in order to gain a foothold and a competency would be more startling than the veriest fiction. Perhaps Little Rock is the only town of consequence in the country where there is a colored superintendent of city delivery, a man who has worked his way steadily, from carrier to the biggest position in that division. Under him work a large number of white and colored carriers and clerks. He is business first, last and all the time. BON. H. H. GARNER. and in the twenty-one years he has been connected with the postoffice he has made many friends among the white and colored patrons of the office. In gaining this position H. H. Garner has simply done as others have done who have forced recognition in spite of color prejudice. He has stuck to his work, working during hours and after hours, familiarizing himself with every detail, and in the end making himself indispensable. It is a hard thing to get around the cold records of civil service procedure, and when confronted with the fact that here stood the logical man for the place, whose knowledge of things and conditions fitted him, besides whose record was behind him, there was but little else to do but appoint him to the position he now holds. Frank A. Young, grand keeper of records and seals, Arkansas jurisdiction of the Knights of Pythias, is one of the foremost young men in the state. He occupies a position of commanding influence among them, although he has only lived in the state a little over ten years. He has had more to do with the erection and maintenance of the old ladies' home than any other individual, that institution being largely through his efforts. Mr. Young owns some valuable real estate, lives in one of the most beautiful homes in the city and was re-elected for the fourth time to his present position. He served on the finance committee and committee on homes for the Business league and was chair- FRANK A. YOUNG. man of the committee on toasts. He stands high in secret orders, among them the Odd Fellows, Masons, Pythians and Mosaic Templars. Before entering the real estate business he served for ten years as a railway mail clerk, and only by economy and close application to business has he worked himself up to his present position of influence in the state. Brain Power Versus the Color Line. In urging the young men and women of the race to see to it that they receive a good sensible education, whether literary or industrial, the Huntsville (Aln.) Fortune Teller says: "There is one thing the color line cannot hold down, and that is brain power. Several of our large colleges have tried the experiment, only to find themselves greatly humiliated." SUPPORT THE PRESS RACE PAPERS SHOULD BE BETTER PATRONIZED BY NEGROES. In the modern commercial world there is perhaps no more striking example of the power of the press for developing an enterprise than that given by H. J. Selfridge in his London department store. London a century ago had his own standard of commercialism and exploitation and the method was quite as un-American as London is. The merchants believed in dignity at all times; they did not encourage idle curiosity. Then Mr. Selfridge, very American and affaise with nerve and ideas, entered the staid city, and one morning all the papers were alive with his advertisements. He told what his store contained in three-inch headlines, he gave the policy of the institution in long columns, he whetted the public curiosity, and then lived up to the expectations of the people. Truly, London was surprised and London was indignant, but London was also curious, and today as a result of the Selfridge idea the big stores are advertising and becoming more of a public institution than they have ever been. In America we need no example of what the newspaper does for the department store. It has built the loop district, and so potently is this recognized that stores in other parts of the city desiring additional trade are beginning to use the paper columns extensively. All are seeking patronage because without the peoples' co-operation no institution can exist. Now the newspaper itself is also a business proposition. Run along different lines perhaps, but with the same fundamental principles governing its well being. Perhaps no other business gives so much for so little. The best brain of the country is called for its columns. No branch of life is left unnoted. It is a history, a literature, a dictionary of everyday life, and it is absolutely dependent on the populace for its existence. Other institutions supply physical needs that are constantly recurring, but the newspaper supplies the mental need which is at all times uncertain in its demands. A famous writer once said that "no man could be ignorant who kept himself familiar with the newspaper." It gives the best expression to all events and ideas in the most concise manner possible. And the news in accredited papers is absolutely dependable. As an institution it is the keynote of a race or nation. It reflects the trend of thought and lends color to public opinions. It moulds and shapes men's minds and ideas, according to the brain which creates it. It is a dominant force reaching influence that cannot be escaped or crushed. Critmes are prevalent, but were it not for the newspaper and its ever watchful eye, crime would perhaps be the rule rather than the exception. Moreover more movements toward right living and right thinking are directly traceable to the press than to any other public organ. To the cities the papers are like the rapids to great bodies of water, ever cleansing and readjusting them. The local news organ watches over the community, points out the immoralities, brings to light those things which are for the public good and which, were it not for the paper, would often be overlooked or silenced. As an evidence of progress the paper is a movement to the race. To our race this is especially true. 'Tis only in very recent years that we have recognized the need for records and histories of our daily occurrences, but the negro newspaper all over the country has for years been watchful of an interest to which the race is but just awakening. Moreover, our papers have given incentive to brain development, and through them we have found free expression for our Fred Douglases and T. T. Fortunes. With a voice that can be heard from coast to coast, they bring before the land the needs of an often neglected portion of its citizens. To the paper the race owes reforms which the pulpit often cannot reach. It influences politics, watches the school systems, guards the social centers, in fact keeps the good of the community ever before negligent people, besides giving a healthy tone and clean understanding of literary matters and pastime interests. It is the weapon of the oppressed and the mouthpiece of the race at all times. And the voice speaking through it is usually that of Destiny. By keeping things forever in the limelight it acts as a great moral factor. Those in power are slower to act without justice when they know that a paper stands ready to announce the evils that they do to a listening and correcting world. But in the final analysis, the paper is the direct medium of the advertiser and the subscriber. To them it gives its best and closest attention. And from them it must draw its sustenance. And, since the paper fulfills in its entirety its duty to its patrons, an obligation is imposed on them toward it. Our race papers should be patronized at all times when possible. They can only prosper as we answer their needs, and their progress means ours. Financially, the patrons of a paper cannot be too prompt. It is an institution where, because of its very nature, large expenses are always accruing. We ourselves set the standard for any enterprise, and we ourselves measure its progress. The newspaper will prosper despite individual shortcomings, but every person should feel A.L.Ballard AUTOS, CARRIAGES, BUGGIES AND VEHICLES OF ALL KINDS.

Miss Burroughs though a young woman, is a national character. She is prest- it his duty to help toward that progress. Advertisement means larger business, an increased interest, a larger outlook, and our interests demand that we keep that which we are offering the public everywhere before them. The newspaper is the surest, swiftest measure for accomplishing this. We must recognize our interests in our enterprises and live up to them if we ever measure to the full stature of a nation—Illinois Chronicle. Triumph for Sandy.

Great Concert and Platform Assemble lage in Luna Park on Tuesday Evening, Sept. 12, With Rev. Dr. Charles T. Walker an Principal Speaker—Committee's Good Work. By N. BARNETT DOBSON. Pittsburg.—As the time approaches for the annual meeting of the national Baptist convention, which convenes in this city on Wednesday, Sept. 13. Interest in its work increases. The convention covers a larger terri- REV. DR. T. H. C. MESSER. tory than other organizations operated by the Baptist denomination in the United States. The local entertainment committee, of which the Rev. Dr. T. H. C. Messer is chairman, has been busily engaged for several weeks with arrangements for taking care of delegates and visitors. Its work in this respect is about done. Homes for the thousands of delegates and visitors have been secured and the great convention halls for the main body and the women's convention are ready for use the moment the president or local chairman calls the assemblage to order. For the guidance and protection of delegates, a special committee wearing official badges will meet, all incoming trains at all depots, so that no one need fall into the hands of irresponsible persons. Delegates who plan to arrive on Tuesday, the 12th, are requested to go directly to Luna Park. At the great concert and platform meeting to be held on Tuesday evening in Luna Park the Rev. Dr. Charles T. Walker of Augusta, Ga., will be the principal speaker. Too much credit cannot be given the local committee and its chairman, Dr. Messer, who as REV. DR. C. D. PATTERSON. pastor of the Good Hope Baptist church has done an admirable work. The Good Hope church was built under his wise leadership. It cost $75,000 and seats 1,000 persons comfortably. Dr. Messer is an eloquent preacher, a safe and sound leader and one of the city's most popular divines. The state Baptist convention could do no wiser att at its next annual meeting than to elect Dr. Messer to the presidency. He is worthy of the highest honor in the gift of his constituency in the denomination. The Rev. Dr. C. D. Patterson, the untiring and efficient secretary of the local committee, is one of the younger men in the ministry in Pittsburgh. He is intelligent and also zealous for the success of the convention. He is the energetic pastor of the Tabernacle Baptist church. As a careful thinker and sound peacemaker of questions of moment Dr. Patterson takes high rank. The committee makes its last announcement to all delegates who have not sent their names to Chairman T. H. C. Messer. 5109 Broad street, to do so at once, in order to secure good homes in time. This will also facilitate the work of the assignment committee. Brief Review of the Activities of Prominent Man In the Federal Service Who Mingle Freely With the Rank and File of the Race Along Many Lines of Work. By OLIVER P. ANDOLPH. Washington.—Some of the colored members of the president's official family have been busy here lately not only in the pursuance of their official duties, but also in important activities among our people. It is gratifying that most of the colored bureau officials here are in close touch with the rank and file of their people, as can be seen from this little review of their recent activities. Hon. William T. Vernon, who holds one of the supervivalorships of schools under the secretary of the interior, is out of the city on official business. This is the first official trip that Mr. Vernon has made since he took up the duties of his new position. On this trip he will cover several states and transact business of importance for the government. Captain Walter Loving, the leader of the Filipino band, is in this country on his vacation and is spending a while here with his friends and relatives. Cap official business. This is the first official trip that Mr. Vernon has made since he took up the duties of his new position. On this trip he will cover several states and transact business of importance for the government. Captain Walter Loving, the leader of the Filipino band, is in this country on his vacation and is spending a while here with his friends and relatives. Captain Loving is a Washington boy, and the people of Washington feel proud of him and of the prominence he has attained in his chosen field. The Filipino band, of which he is the leader, has visited this country several times and has won the fame of being one of the best bands in the world. Captain Loving will remain in this country for several months. Dr. W. Bruce Evans, principal of the Armstrong Manual Training school, was the orator of the day at the recent Emancipation celebration held in Cleveland, O. Dr. Evans' speech was highly appreciated by the people of Cleveland, the daily papers of that city giving much space to it. One of the big Cleveland dailies also carried an extensive interview with Dr. Evans on racial matter in which he laid stress on the educational progress of the race. Dr. Evans was accompanied on his western trip by Mrs. Evans and their accomplished daughter, Miss Lillian, who is a kindergarten teacher in the Washington schools. Recorder of Deeds Makes Itinerary. Henry Lincoln Johnson, the recorder of deeds, has recently been attending important meetings of the Odd Fel- lows, such as the subcommittee of management and the Odd Fellows' supreme court in Philadelphia and the Georgia District grand lodge in Augusta, Ga. Mr. Johnson is deputy, grand master of the Odd Fellows of this country and also the counsel of the Georgia district grand lodge. 1234567890 James C. Napier, register of the treasury, has been attending the sessions of the National Negro Business league. He is chairman of the executive committee of the league. The duties of his position are many, for upon the executive committee falls the important work of arranging for the national conventions. The assistant register of the treasury, Cyrus Field Adams, holds the important post of transportation agent of the league and has had his hands full looking after the work of securing reduced rates to and from Little Bock, Ark., where the convention was held. Our people are very much interested in the First Separate battalion of the District national guard, which held its annual camp training in Frederick, Md., recently. Horror of the Coatesville Lynching. Commenting on the recent Coatesville (Pa.) lynching, the Amsterdam News, New York city, says: "It has become so common to burn Afro-Americans alive in the southern states that, although the horror of the barbarity remains, the keen edge of surprise, even, is blunted, and for a long time we have been expecting that the next step would be taken. To roast a man and then neglect to eat him is a distinction without a difference that people of refined and cultured manners are slow to appreciate. A nation is bound to be judged by its moral standards." FIVE CENTS A COPY Will Hold Annual Convention in Pittsburgh, Beginning Sept. 13. The woman's Baptist convention will be held in Pittsburgh during the sessions of the national Baptist convention, which begins on Wednesday, Sept. 16. Diligence to this body should send their message to Mrs. Fanny Morton, 249 Lehigh street, at once, so that suitable honors may be provided for them before the sessions begin.

In this respect, however, Pittsburg is blessed with many noble Women, who have shown their loyalty to racial interest. Among the many public spiked women of Pittsburg, Mrs. T. H. C. Messer, the amiable and highly esteemed wife of Dr. T. H. C. Messer, is a striking example. She is the founder of the children's home. The day, nursery, which cares for over forty children, is an evidence of work and worth in such charitable institutions. Mrs. Messer is a native of Georgia, in which state she received her education. She is prominent in the National Baptist convention and is highly regarded by the officials and workers of that organization. coming meeting the most successful of any yet held by the women. To this end the various organizations among the Baptist women are vying with each other in raising money and creating interest in the work to be supported by the woman's convention. Present indications warrant the expectation of a large and enthusiastic gathering. LOTT CAREY CONVENTION. President-Annual Address and Official Reports Features of First Day.

Brilliantly illuminated with soft incandescent lights artistically arranged behind banks of flowers, were filled with people. In the air was the familiar buzz always present in a room where each person is trying to speak at the same time. On all sides one heard fragments of inept conversation. "So good of you to come! How well you're looking, my dear." "My husband! Oh he's at the club, playing poker, as usual. He hates music." "I've such a terrible cold!" "Trouble with servants? I should say so. I bounced my cook this morning." "Aren't these affairs awfully tiresome?" "I was so glad to come. I always enjoy your musician." "Dr. Bernstein coming? How perfectly delightful. I ask him for his autograph." "What's psychology?" "Something to do with religion, I think." "Haven't we been having dreadful weather?" "I saw you at the opera." "Doesn't she look sweet?" "Oh, I think it's just lovely." People now arrived in quick succession and, forming little groups, the room soon presented an animated scene. The women in their smart gowns and the men in their black coats made a pleasing picture. "My dear Mrs. Jeffries, how do you do this evening?" exclaimed a rich, deep voice. The hostess turned to greet an elderly and distinguished-looking man who just entered. Directly he came in and were hushed, and on every side one heard the whisper: "There's Judge Brewster, the Lao lawyer." There was a general craning of nocks to catch a glimpse of the eminent jurist whose brilliant address to the jury in a recent cause celebre had saved an innocent man from the electric chair. Richard Brewster was a fine example of the old school statesman-lawyer of the Henry Clay type. He belonged to that small class of public men who are independent of all coteries, whose only ambition is to serve their country well, who know no other duty than that dictated by their oath and conscience. A brilliant and forceful orator, there was no office in the gift of the nation that might not have been his for the asking, but he had no taste for politics. After serving with honor for some years on the bench he retired into private practice, and thereafter his name became one to confure with in the law courts. By sheer power of his matchless oratory and unanswerable logic he won case after case for his clients and it is a tribute to his name to record the plains fact that in all his career he never championed a cause of which he need be ashamed. Powerful financial interests had attempted, to secure his services by offers of princely retainers, but without success. He fought the trusts bitterly every time he found them op- pressing his profession. Alicia advanced with extended hand. "This is indeed kind, judge," she explained with a gracious smile. "I hardly dared hope that my poor misgale would be so honored." The old lawyer smiled good-humorously as he replied gallantly: "I don't know much about music, I'm; I came to see you." Looking around he added: "You've got a nice place here." He spoke in his characteristic manner—short, nervous, explosive sentences, which had often terrified his opponents in court. "Lawyers are such flatterers," laughed Alicia as she nervously fanned herself, and looked around to see if her guests were watching. "Lawyers only fatter when they want to," interrupted Mr. Jeffries, who had just joined the group. Alicia turned to greet a new arrival and the lawyer continued chatting with his host. "I suppose you'll take a rest now, after your splendid victory," said the banker. Judge Brewster shook his head dubiously. "No, sir, we lawyers never rest. We can't. No sooner is one case disposed of than another crops up to defuse our attention. The trouble with this country is that we have too much law. If I were to be guilty of an epigram I would say that the country has so much law that it is practically lawless." "So you're preparing another case, eh?" said Mr. Jeffries, interested. "What is it—a secret?" "Oh, not!" answered the lawyer. "The newspapers will be full of it in a day or two. We are going to bring A NARRATIVE OF METROPOLITAN LIFE THE THIRD DEGREE BY CHARLES KLEIN AND ARTHUR HORNELOW ILLUSTRATIONS BY RAY WALTERS " "I Don't Know Much About Music, Mrs." sick against the city. It's really a test case that should interest every citizen; a protest against the high-handed actions of the police. The banker elevated his eyebrow. "Indeed," he exclaimed. "What have the police been doing now?" The lawyer looked at his client in surprise. "Now perfectly one night my dear." "Do you think pleased at the elm." "Your dress is a dare simply gorgeous." "Your musicals lightful," exclaimed. At that moment Why, my dear sir, you must have seen by the papers what's been going on in our city of late. The papers have been full of it. Police brutality, illegal arrests, assaults in station houses, star-chamber methods that would disgrace the middle ages. A state of affairs exists-to-day in the city of New York which is inconceivable. Here we are living in a civilized country, every man's liberty is guaranteed by the constitution, yet citizens, as they walk our streets, are in greater peril than the inhabitants of terror-striken Russia. Take a police official of Capt. Clinton's type. His only notion of the law is brute force and the night stick. A bully by nature, a man of the coarsest instincts and enormous physical strength, he loves to play the tyrant. In his precinct he poses as a kind of scar and fondly imagines he has the power to administer the law itself. By his brow-beating tactics, intolerable under Anglo-Saxon government, he is turing our police force into a gang of ruffians who have the city terror-striken. In order to further his political ambitions he stops at nothing. He lets the guilty escape when influence he can't resist is brought to bear, but in order to keep up his record with the department he makes arrests without the slightest justification. To secure convictions he manufactures, with the sid of his detectives, all kinds of perjured evidence. To paraphrase a well-known saying, his mote is "Convict-honestly, if you can—but convict." "It is outrageous," said Mr. Jeffries. "No one can approve such methods. Of course, in dealing with the criminal population of a great city, they cannot wear kid gloves, but Capt. Clinton certainly goes too far. What is the specific complaint on which the suit is based?" "Capt. Clinton," replied the judge, "made the mistake of persecuting a young woman who happened to be the daughter of a wealthy client of mines. One of his detectives arrested her on a charge of shoplifting. The girl, mind you, is of excellent family and irresponsable character. My client and his lawyer tried to show Capt. Clinton that he had made a serious blunder, but he brazened it out, claiming on the stand that the girl was an old offender. Of course, he was forced at last to admit his mistake and the girl went free, but think of the humiliation and mental anguish she underwent! It was simply a repetition of his old tactics. A conviction, no matter at what cost." "What do you hope to bring about by this suit?" "Arouse public indignation, and if possible get Capt. Clinton dismissed from the force. His record is none too evasive. Charges of graft have been made against him time and time again, but so far nothing has been proved. To-day he is a man of wealth on a comparatively small salary. Do you suppose his money could have come to him honestly?" In another corner of the salon stood Dr. Bernstein, the celebrated psychologist, the center of an excited crowd of enthusiastic admirers. Alicia approached a group of chattering women. Each was more elate orately dressed than her neighbor, and loaded down with rare gems. They at once stopped talking as their hostess came up. "It was so good of you to come!" said Alicia efficiently to a fat woman with impossible blonde hair and a rouged face. "I want to introduce Dr. Bernstein to you." "Oh, I shall be delighted," unified the blonde. Guslingly she added: THE COURIER. A NARRATIVE OF METROPOLITAN LIFE DEGREE CLIN BURNBLOW BY WALTER "How perfectly enquire you look to me ask my dear." "Do you think so?" said Alice, pleased at the climmy factory. "Your dress is stunning and your dress is gorgeous," raved another. "Your musicals are always so delightful," exclaimed a third. At that moment Mr. Jeffries caught his wife by the arm and drew her attention to some newcomers. With a laugh she left the group and hurried toward the door. Directly she was out of carrot, the three women began whispering: "Can't she terribly overdressed?" exclaimed the blonde. "The check of such a parvenue to wear that tiare." "Her face is all made up, too," said another. "Those affairs of here are awfully stupid, don't you think so?" piped the third. "Yes, they bore everybody to death," said the blonde. "She's ambitious and likes to think she is a social leader. I only come here because it amuses me to see what a fool she makes of herself. Fancy, a woman of her age marrying a man old enough to be her father. By the by, I don't see her beau here to night." "You mean that scamp, Robert Underwood?" "Can't it perfectly scandalous, the way he dances after her? I'm surprised Mr. Jeffries allows him to come to the house." "Maybe there's been a row. Perhaps that explains why he's not here to night. It's the first time I've known him absent from one of her musicals." "He's conspicuous by his absence. Do you know what I heard the other day? I was told that Underwood had again been caught cheating at cards and summarily expelled from the club—kicked out so to speak." "I not at all surprised. I always had my doubts about him. He induced a friend of mine to buy a picture, and got a tremendous price for it on the false representation that it was a genuine Corot. My friend found out afterward that he had been duped. Proceedings were threatened, but Underwood managed to hush the affair by returning part of the money." In another part of the room a couple were discussing Mr. Jeffries as he stood talking with Judge Brewster. "Did you notice how Mr. Jeffries had aged recently? He no longer seems the same man." After all the trouble he's had, of course you know what a disappointment his son turned out." "A scamp, I understand. Married a chorus girl and that sort of thing." Really a Moonlight ```markdown ``` Really a Moonlight Sonata Beethoven's Beautiful Music Composed Under the Rays of the Queen of Night. The story runs that Beethoven's Moonlight sonata—always so called, though so rarely gave a descriptive nam. to any of his works—was composed, an occasion when he had been playing, to some stranger folk by distance. Waiting with a friend he overheard in an humble house some one playing with much feeling a bit of one of his sonatas. He paused to listen. In a moment the music ceased and a girl spoke longingly of her wish to hear some really good concert. The voice was so appealing that the composer stepped without hesitation. A "Not exactly, but almost as bad. The girl was a waitress or something like that in a restaurant. She very common; her father died in prison. You can imagine the blow to old J.Jeremiah. He turned the boy adult and left him to shake for himself." Alicia approached her husband, who was still talking with Judge Brewster. She was leaning on the arm of a tall, handsome man with a dark Van Dyne beard. "Who are you discussing with such interest?" she demanded, as she came up with her escort. "We were talking of Capt. Clinton and his detestable police methods," said the banker. "Judge," said Alicia, turning to the lawyer, "allow me to introduce Dr. Bernstein. Doctor, this is Judge Brewster." The stranger bowed low, as he replied courteously: "The fame of Judge Brewster has spread to every state in the union." spread to every state in the union. A faint smile spread over the face of the famous lawyer as he extended his hand: "I've often heard of you, too, doctor. I've been reading with great interest your book, 'Experimental Psychology.' Do you know," he went on earnestly, "there's a lot in that. We have still much to learn in that direction." "I think," said Dr. Bernstein, quietly, "that we're only on the threshold of wonderful discoveries." F pleased to find that her two distinguished guests were consolant, Alice left them to themselves and joined her other guests. "Yes," said the lawyer musingly, "man has studied for centuries the mechanism of the body, but he has neglected entirely the mechanism of the mind." Dr. Bernstein smiled approvingly. Dr. Bernstein smiled approvingly. "We are just waking up," he replied quickly. "People are beginning to look upon psychology seriously. Up to comparatively recently the layman has regarded psychology as the domain of the philosophy and the dreamer. It did seem possible that it could ever be applied to our practical everyday life, but of late we have made remarkable strides. Although comparatively new science you will probably be astonished to learn that there are to-day in the United States 50 psychological laboratories. That is to say, workshops fully equipped with every device known for the probing of the human brain. In my laboratory in California alone I have as many as twenty rooms hung with electric wires and equipped with all the necessary instruments—chromoscopes, xylographic tachistoscopes and ergographs — instruments which enable us to measure and record the human brain as accurately as the Bertillon system." "Really, you astonish me!" I exclaimed the judge. "This, is most interesting. Think of laboratories solely devoted to delving into mysteries of the human brain! It is wonderful!" He was silent for a moment, then he said: "It is quite plain, I think, that psychology can prove most useful in medicine. It is, I take it, the very foundation of mental healing, but what else would it do for humanity? For instance, can it help me, the lawyer?" Dr. Barrett smiled. "You gentlemen of the law have always scouted at the very suggestion of bringing psychology to your aid, but just think, air, how enormously it might aid you in cross-examining a witness. You can tell with almost scientific accuracy if the witness is telling lies or the truth, and the same would be clear to the judge and the jury. Just think how your powers would be increased if by your skill in psychological observation you could convince the jury that your client, who was about to be convicted on circumstantial evidence alone, was really innocent of the crime of which he was charged. Why, sir, the road which psychology opens up to the lawyer is well-nigh boundless. Don't you use the Bortillon system to measure the body? Don't you rely on thumb prints to identify the hand? How do you know that we psychologists are not able to-day to test the individual differences of men?" (TO BE CONTINUED.) the door and knocked. Admitted to the wondering host, he said: "I will play for you," and played wonderfully till the lamp burned out. Then with the moonlight filling the room he began to improise—the mysterious delicate breathings of the beginning of that wonderful sonata, then the trickys elk-like second part and the glory of the close.

PLAY YOUR PART Next week will bring to our city the much talked of National Baptist Convention with thousands of delegates who will invade our city. We deem it in order to remind the good people of Pittsburgh that something will be exacted to us. The success of the convention will depend largely upon the treatment we accord the delegates and officers while they sojourn among us. The best we can offer will be but a part payment of the debt we owe the occasion. Aside from the religious phase of the convention must be taken into account the fact that all these people are Negroes, one of us, and a part of the great race to which we belong; and taking our part to do our any failure upon our part to best will reflect seriously upon us as a community. Our homes should be thrown open as far as necessary for the entertainment of these strangers who will be impressed with our community in direct proportion to the treatment they receive at our hands. And, too, we must not forget that we must exercise some degree of vigilance over our rights and privileges here in order to prevent any act or acts calculated to reflect discreditably upon us after the convention has met and adjourned. Mixed with the many good people who will visit us are certain to be a few undesirables, and lest they bring shame and discredit upon us and our community, we must soon watch on our interests. The Courier will devote all the space necessary to inform the visitors where to report for proper instructions, and it is hoped that the committee in charge will see to it that our city and community will have reason to feel proud that the National Baptist Convention met in Pittsburgh: The time for securing tax receipts has been extended to the 16th of this month. All those delinquent ones who allowed the last date to escape them will now proceed to arm themselves with the necessary receipts. Every citizen puts a premium upon his fraschise. Are you a citizen? REMOVE THE HUMP. At last the contents of Mayor Magee have been sustained by the main audit and the several reports from committees that the city has sufficient funds available to defray the expenses necessary for the removal of the Hump. And further that Councils may issue bonds without poplar vote to an extent sufficient to cover the damage incident to the work. Negroes of Pittsburgh now have an excellent opportunity to find employment for the next eighteen months at least; and if foreign labor removes the hump the Negroes of Pittsburgh need not further complain that they can not secure labor. The Negroes of the city should busy themselves now in an effort to secure for themselves their quota of recognition on the pay roll of the contractor in charge of the work. To stand idly by and allow the Italian to secure a monopoly on the work to be done would be the best evidence in the world that we do not want work. Let every Negro in the county feel himself interested in this great project involving the outlay of hundreds of thousands of dollars, and if the Negro is not given his share of the work, we can at least say that he made an effort to secure it. Let an effort be made. In their scrawble for political office, the candidates are holding out to the ignorant Negro the usual hand of promise; and to our astonishment, some few Negroes who know nothing but the dollars as their political god deserted the men who have fed them and gone to the faction of "promise." These same Negroes will some day cry for help, but in vain. We are still ignorant of the value of an independent ballot. The Beattie case is about the only real sensational thing that ever happened that did not have the Negro in it in some manner. We may yet hear Beattie had a cell next to a Negro prisoner.

Suffering. This world would be a dreary monone without the mountains and the lakes, the rivers and the valleys, which have, come through nature's meat upheavals. The sufferings of earth make it; the more glorious. Men is much like this in his own experience. The blessings of like have come a large measure because of the heartaches and the agonies of men, and women. They have given of their life blood so that others might be enlaced. This has been their crucifixion. But out of their affliction has come a new life—grown from the seed of the best, that died in the old self. This has been their resurrection.—charles Stelzle.

LOOK OUT FOR THE CARS DO YOU know of anyone who is old enough to read, who has not seen that sign at a railroad crossing? If everyone has seen it at some time or other, then why don't the railroad let the sign not away? Why does the railroad company continue to keep those signs at every crossing? Maybe you think, Mr. Merchant, "Most everybody knows my store, I don't have to advertise."

CUNNINGHAM COUNTY CONTROLLER CHARLES B. PRICE COUNTY TREASURER Magee promised to free the bridges—but the County Commissioner did it because they knew his promises meant nothing. By his work shall ye know him—in two years and six months Magee has done nothing but pass bond issues and pay interest on the unused money. Having about exhausted the bonding power of Pittsburgh Magee now looks at the boroughs and townships with greedy eyes. Here is the chance the suburban voters have longed for. September 30 will be the "open season" in Allegheny county and Magee will never forget it. The voters are aroused, Magee means—Rule or Ruin.

Vote against Magee and for yourself. Magee found $801,000 to remove the hump. Why did he not find it before he raised the water rents? Ask your neighbor how much his water rent has been increased by Magee. The extension of Mageeism to Allegheny county means higher taxes, bond issues and a harvest for his favorite contractors in the construction of county roads. The candidates on the Anti-Magee Ticket stand for lower taxes, good roads and against all forms of extravagant government both in the city and county. Society Notes (By Elizabeth Jones.) Engagement.

They just had received a telephone message that Mr. and Mrs. Rankin were over in town with little Bennie, and would drop in for luncheon if it would be convenient, and they had said of course it would be. Then they hastily examined the contents of the larder. "We seem to be rather low on chocolate," announced Jessica, "but probably there is enough if we are careful. We can give Bennie a little cup." "Don't ever think it," warned mother, hastily. "Pick out the biggest cup for Bennie and be prepared to refill it a few times. You and I will take little cup or none, but don't ever think a child—especially a growing boy—isn't going to want the most of everything. If you make such a mistake you are likely to come face to face with the most terrible embarrassments. A much safer rule is to allow double, at least, for each child."

CHARACTERS OUT OF SCRAPS Thackeray's Personages Were Patricia works, Seldom to Be Recognized an Portraits of Actual Persons. Thackeray rarely drew an out and out portrait, though he sometimes ventured on a recognizable caricature of people he detested. In a "Roundabout Paper" called "De Finibus" he asserts that he creates his personages out of "scrap, heel-taps, odds and ends of characters." Lady Anne Thackeray Ritchie corroborates this. "My father, she written in answer to a private request for information," scarcely ever put real characters into his books, though he, of course, found suggestions among the people with whom he was thrown. I have always thought there was something of himself as Warrington. Perhaps the serious part of his nature was vaguely drawn in that character. There was also a little likeness to his friend, Edward Fitzgerald, who always lived a very solitary life. Warrington, indeed, may be taken as a typical instance of how Thackeryan made up his own personages cut of "odds and ends of characters." In the circumstances of his life Fitzgerald was the closest of all prototypes that have been suggested. Like Warrington, he had married beneath him, though not so far beneath as Warrington; he had found his wife utterly uncongenial and had left her in comfortable circumstances to make his own way in London in poverty and obscurity. To add the final touch of pathos, Thackeryan painted Warrington's abandoned wife as a bad woman, which Mrs. Fitzgerald was not, but only a very foolish and nobbish one. Besides the originals already suggested, James T. Field hints at a fourth in Barry Cornwall, and Gen. James Grant Wilson says Thackeryan told a Philadelphia that Warrington was an English professor of Latin. William S. Walsh, in Columbian.

Southern White Man's Opinion of Lynching in the North. At a meeting held recently in the Charles Street A. M. E. church in Boston the Hon. Joseph C. Manning of Birmingham, Ala., referring to the Coatesville (Pa.) lynching, said: "What happened a week ago in a "What happened quite recently in a burned to death a Negro manacled to a hospital cot after storming the hospital, may happen any day right here in Boston. The minds of the northern people have been infamed by southern politicians until now they look on the Negro with the same feelings as the people of the south. "While I am not trying to arran the president of the United States, I am sure if you had the organization the other races have he would pay attention to your demands that the wrongs of the colored people of the south be righted. "Some time ago, when a delegation of colored men went to see the president to try to have him incorporate into his message to congress something concerning the conditions of the Negro, they were dismissed. But when a delegation of Jews went to see him in order to have an inquiry made into the alleged discrimination against a Hebrew in the United States army then he paid willing heed to their request. If you had the same organization and the same one mindedness the other races have you could get something done. "The poor Negro at his cabin door, with his wife and baby by his side, has as much right to be protected as his white fellow citizen. And how can that protection be secured? Only through the ballot which has been taken away from him, only by the use of the vote which has been denied to him. There is nothing more cruel than the fact the southern Negro once had the vote and now has no voice in protecting his race. "I am sure that just as soon as the American people are made aware of the true state of affairs in the south they will demand that the negro be returned his right to vote. At present it is in direct violation of the constitution of the United States and of the Declaration of Independence. It is taxation without representation and in direct contradiction of the principle that all men are created free and equal." LITTLE ROCK MEETING OF EDITORS AND PUBLISHERS Third Annual Convention Fraught With Many Timely Suggestions.

DONAHOE NATIONAL BAPTIST B, Y. P. U. CITY COQUEST To Raise Money For Emergency Fund. Prominent Baptists to Speak at Mass Meeting. The City Conquest, a. B. Y. P. U. organization of this city, is undertaking to raise at least $100 by September 17, for the Emergency Fund of the National B. Y. P. U. Board. This will be a great thing for Pennsylvania, especially, Pittsburgh. This conquest has appointed a committee of one from each local B. Y. P. U. society to solicit at least 5$ for that purpose. The conquest will also hold a young people's mass meeting and sacerdonic concert in one of the auditoriums in the park inclosure on Sunday afternoon, September 17. Beginning at 6 o'clock to which there will be an admission fee of 15 cents. This money will go to this Emergency Fund also and consequently to the credit of Pittsburg people at that mass meeting. Drs. C. H. Walker, W. H. Moses and P. James Bryant will speak. Drs. Walker and Moses are well known in Pittsburgh and Rev. Mr. Bryant is chairman of the B. Y. P. U. Board. Mr. Phillips, President of the City Conquest, has charge of this movement, assisted by Messrs. Cary, Newman, Alexander and Colston. YOUR WEIGHT AND HEALTH Better Be Over the Average When Young and Under When Old, Say Insurance Men. At the annual meeting of the Association of Life Insurance Directors some facts were brought out in regard to the best build of men and women from the insurance man's point of view. In the New York Life Insurance company efforts have been going on for many years to determine the exact influence of build on longevity, says the Medical Record. It is suggested that a mistake has been made in assuming that the average build of any age is the most favorable build that that age or the build from which it may be expected the most favorable mortality will be sustained. For instance, figures show that at the age of twenty all risks from 24 per cent. overweight to 10 per cent. underweight is better than average risks. Does it not then seem probable that the point of most favorable build is about half way from 24 per cent. overweight to 10 per cent. underweight, or in the neighborhood of 7 per cent. overweight? If this inference is correct the tables now used are too favorable to the underweights by about 7 per cent. At age thirty, on the other hand, the super-standard skis begin at about 8 per cent underweight and extend to about 22 per cent underweight. The mean point between these extremities lies at about 7 per cent underweight and the conclusion appears evident that the present table based on average weights is too high by about 7 per cent. At the intermediate ages, 30 to 50, the mean point lies not at the zero but on the heavyweight side of the zero at the age of thirty and at the lightweight side of the zero at the age of fifty, and only at the age of 40 is the table apparently correct.
