THE PITTSBURGH COU New York Selected as Starting Point For Active Work Among the Members of the Various Clubs Holding Membership In the National Organization. BY CLEVELAND G. ALLEN. New York.-The National Association of Colored Musical and Arts Clubs, which was organized in Brooklyn in 1908, is planning a national campaign to create an awakening among colored musicians and artists. Realizing the advance the race is making along musical and artistic endeavors, this organization was formed to bring together the musicians and artists of the race in order to create greater interest among them for mutual betterment and to find out what is possible to accomplish along the lines of music, art and painting. The National association in planning this campaign hopes to reach every musical and art club in the country and thus maintain a strong national organization. Since the organization of this National association among the colored musicians and artists much good has been done in stimulating greater individual effort on the part of members of the profession. Some of the best known members of the profession are working enthusiastically for the success of the movement. The first fall meeting of the association will be held in New York early in October at the residence of Mrs. Harriet Gibbs Marshall, 240 West One Hundred and Thirty-fourth street, where applications for membership from musical and art clubs will be received. It is the desire of those interested to have a large number of clubs which have but joined the national body to do so at the coming meeting. A national convention will be held annually in various sections of the country, where subjects bearing upon M. MRS. BARRIET GIBB MARSHALL the work of the musician and artist will be discussed. Mrs. Harriet Gibbe Marshall, who was elected president of the National association, is one of the most accomplished artists of the race. She has attained an eminent place in the profession and has been constantly identified with musical endeavor. She received her musical training at the Oberlin College Conserv- atory of Music, which is one of the best in the country. Shortly after leaving the conservatory she started out on a musical career, finally going to Washington, where she became instructor of music in the public schools. While working in this capacity she saw the necessity of cultivating the artistic gifts of young men and women of the race and as a result established the Wash- ington Conservatory of Music, which is the only school of its kind which seeks to give a purely musical and art education. The school has a national reputation, and some of the most noted men and women of the race constitute its faculty. Speaking of the need of the National organization, Mrs. Marshall says: "The great need of this organization is paramount. The movement is in keeping with the general musical advance. In order that colored artists may keep up with this advance such an association is necessary." Interest In Coming Football Game. Members of the various athletic clubs in Pittsburgh are taking unusual interest in the practice work of the football team of the Delaney rides, as the team is schduled to play the Wilburtice (Ohio) university team on Thanksgiving day. The go between these two well known teams each year is the crowning event of the season in athletic circles. For the coming game the managers are endeavoring to more faceted grounds. Movement Started by Rev. Dr. I. L. Thomas in Baltimore Will Culminate in a Crand Rally in the Interest of Home Missions the Third Sunday in October. Baltimore—Plans have been at last completed for the celebration of John Stewart day on Sunday, Oct. 15, among the colored churches of the Methodist Episcopal church. A number of white churches in Ohio, where this pioneer missionary of the Methodist Episcopal church labored among the Wyandotte Indians, will also observe the day, which is to be a general rally in the interest of home missions. John Stewart was a freeborn citizen of color of Powhatan county, Va., and after a somewhat sinful life drifted to Ohio, where he carried the story of the gospel to the Indians. Success crowded his work, and this colored man is regarded as the pathfinder for the great mission work now being done by the Methodist church in this and other countries. The idea of the celebration originated with Rev. Dr. L. L. Thomas of Baltimore, secretary of the board of home missions and church extension of the denomination. He is regarded as one of the best planners in the denomination and, with this celebration will enjoy the distinction of having been the first colored man in the Methodist Episcopal church to plan a general denominational celebration. The plan for the celebration of John Stewart day has received the beary approbation of the bishops, general officers of the denomination, as well as the pastor, district, superintendents and leading laymen in the twenty colored conferences of the denomination. Bishop C. S. Smith in writing a letter of indulgence of the plan tells Dr. Thomas that an Indian converted under John Stewart started the first mission work of the denomination in Washington, Oregon and other states of the far west. Bishop Robert McIntyre gives the following enthusiastic endorsement: "The Lake Itascan of home missions in Methodism was the heart of a black man. What a Mississippi of benevolence has leaped from that warm spring and flowed all over our land. And still it pours its healing, saving stress into every state. John Stewart, the Negro, pitched the heavenly tune, and we are singing it now. On the thin end of this dying wedge, called the home mission society, which is splitting human selfishness into silvers, stands salvant Stewart with the white flag of Christ in his hands. Exalt his name, publish his deeds, proclaim his personality, equate his spirit. Let all colored folk rally at his standard and finish his work, and may God speed them." A feature of the celebration will be an effort to raise $250 each from a number of prosperous laymen in the denomination in order that the name of some devout relative may be perpetuated in a church building. This money is to be sent to the headquarters of the board of home missions and church extension at 1026 Arch street. Philadelphia. This is to be the entering wedge of a great work of mission work in which the colored people are to bear the honor of furnishing the funds. Several hymns especially composed for the occasion by Dr. Thomas will be sung on the day of celebration. JACK JOHNSON DEFENDS OWN CASE London, England—'Jack' Johnson's clever management of his own defense in the Bow street police court excites far more surprise here than anything he could achieve in the ring. Commonly imagined to be an untutored boxing machine, he showed acuteness in cross-examining the police witness worthy of a trained lawyer. The court was crowded with sports, including Many Americans, and outside a terrific mob that had come to demonstrate its admiration for Johnson and contempt; for the milksoops who are trying to prevent the fight. The judge granted an injunction restraining the promoters from having the fight in Karl's Court on the petition of the freeholders of the exhibition grounds. Johnson says he will fight Weils in Paris. MARRIAGE LICENSES ISSUED BURING WEEK James E. Heath ..... Pittsburgh Anna Taylor ..... Pittsburgh William S. Daugherty ..... Pittsburgh Jane Burns .....

He then returned home and began to teach in the public school at Charleston. He took prominent part in the establishment of the West Virginia Colored Institute and became one of its first teachers in 1892. In 1895 he received the honorary degree of Master of Arts from Westminster college. In 1909 he was promoted to the presidency of the West Virginia Colored Institute. Prof. Prillerman was president of the West Virginia Teachers Association for nine years. He has been an active member of the National Educational Association for ten years and a notary public 14 years, and one of the prominent church workers of this state.

NATIONAL BAPTIST LOCAL COMMITTEE REPLIES TO CRITICISM NATIONAL BAPTIST LOCAL COMMITTEE REPLIES TO CRITICISM The disappointment of the people in not receiving the delegates for which they signed caused much unpleasant criticism and many malicious falsehoods. Rev. T. H. C. Messer, the chairman of the committee, reports that several persons told him that I. W. W. Brown was at the Union and Baltimore stations receiving money from people who had not previously signed to delegates and in this way prevented the delegates reaching homes selected by the committee. I stand ready to pay to Dr. Messer $50 for every dollar anybody paid to me at the Union or Baltimore and Ohio station on Tuesday or Wednesday, September 12 or 13, providing however, he have them go before a notary public and make an adidavit to the fact that I received money from them on the date and place above mentioned. I assigned about the hundred and fifty persons from the stations to homes who had sent their applications and money to the committee by me, all of which money was reported to the treasurer as the records will show. Very few of the delegates attending the national convention stopped in homes selected by the committee, but it was not the committee's fault. These seemed to have been a well organized plan in the city to turn the delegates and visitors away from the homes and places they were directed to by the committee. This placed the committee, at a great disadvantage and maybe in debt for the expenses of arranging for the convention by reason of having to refund the money received from the people for delegates. The city has been stirred up many false charges against the committee to the effect that they made barrels of money at the park and that the park was donated free. All this is false. The committee paid $500 for the use of the park and paid the convention $500 for coming here. That is $1,100 in these two items. Some $500 has been refunded to the people who did not receive delegates. This is $1,900, and when all the obligations have been met and the entire affair straightened up, Dr. Messer, the chairman, will give the public a true statement of all money received and expended and for what. We only ask the ifpatient public to be charitable until this report is made.

What Colored American Missionaries Are Doing For the Meeken In African Drilling Results in Rhodesia. Two Religious Denominations Chief Factors In Work of Redemption. By JOHN E. BRUCE ("BRIT"). The influence and work of missionaries sent to various sections of Africa by the Baptist and African Methodist Episcopal church in the United States are being effectively felt for good in the uplift and well being of the heathen. In East, West and South Africa these self sacrificing American Christian workers are causing the gospel of Jesus Christ to be heard and felt in a manner never before known. No wonder that the Rev. Dr. L. G. Jordan, secretary of the national Baptist foreign mission board, never tires in his work of raising means for the support of the missionaries sent out by the national Baptist convention. Dr. Jordan is a true and tried discipline of the church of Christ who has labored long and faithfully for the cause of foreign missions. The following story is one great and lasting result of true missionary effort: A visitor to the famous native kingdom of Barotseland would see a remarkable change in an African country which Livingstone, Serpa Pluto and others described in its barbarous stage. This large region is over 200 miles northwest of the great Victoria falls. Fifteen years ago its king, Lewanika, had absolute power over the lives and belongings of its inhabitants, but the drunken and tyrannous despot, reclaimed, is today a leading factor in BUROLONG CHIEFS OF SOUTH AFRICA. the development of good government, industry and well being among his people. When he told his subjects he would never drink another drop of intoxicating liquor he forthwith became a model of sobriety and a pattern, for his people, and his name stuck in the memory of many Englishmen when he asked that carpenters and farmers be sent to teach his subjects how to build better houses and raise larger crops. Today his country, a part of northwest Rhodesia, by the choice of its king, is divided into districts, whose public affairs are directed by white officials, though Lewanaka still retains civil jurisdiction over the land. White colonists are everywhere admitted except to the valley in which the king's capital stands. The postoffices are handling about 300,000 letters a year, and the telegraph connects many parts of the country. The horrors of slave raiding have disappeared, and even the domestic serfs have been freed. Each house pays a tax of $3 a year, and most of the funds are expended for roads, bridges and other public improvements. Here are some of the men who have aided in the splendid reformatory and remedial work which the king is carrying on: Sitting, from right to left, Molenio, Lekoko, Baderie; standing, left to right, F. Z. A. Peregrino, editor of the South African Spectator and representative of the king in Cape Town, interpreter. These are very ordinary looking black men, but I am told by Mr. Peregrino that they deceive their looks and that they are well informed as to what is going on in the world. Africa is coming slowly, but surely. Ethiopia is making ready to stretch out her hands unto God. of the Ebenezer church. My record for honesty and truth stands open for inspection to any and all of the people in this city. I am sure I enjoy the confidence of all the people who know me, whether they be saint or sinner. I am yours for the best and highest good of all the people in Pittsburgh. W. W. BROWN. There is nothing so very remarkable in the Atlantic City dog that can tell time.

In a double post to pay money, you have to send both mail and money. By Christianity we mean that form of religion which is based on Jesus Christ, the Incarnate God, brought out most beautifully in the beloved Agosteite's words. "For God no loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." May, not a form only, but a system of life, feeding upon the principles given us by Jesus Christ. "For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus." With this definition in view, what has the negro a right to expect of Christianity, first, as a man? There is a spark of individuality in every human being that if properly fanned blossoms into the fire that brings out the redefinition that he is a man. A great awakening is on like unto the awakening of 1855 when we seen the effects of the teaching of the gospel upon the people of the colony. A greater upheaval is being felt by the world today than when the depths of the European world were broken up by the restlessness of the people making demands for their right, because this mixture of dirt and water driven on by the soul, is responding to the demands of the world coming into the man. Chile, under Christian influence, is being cleaned up and men are being saved. Africa, under English rule, is in better shape than she would have been without it, for the spirit of Christianity now broods over her like the man over her chickens, and facts show that she too is rising and answering the call of Christianity. The negro here has already come into the limelight of Christianity, then, why should there not be a refluent wave? Take a man and rob him of that most important factor—manhood, and his life is deprived of all that ought to make him the being intended for him to become, and because the negro has been robbed of those privileges which otherwise might be his, some have grown discouraged and dependent but the optimistic in an aspect Christianity to diff his clouded sky, broaden his narrow vision, break down the hedges growing about him. The idea of handing a lump of sugar to a horse works equally well in the case of a man; and although he does not look for sugar by the barrel full emptied at his door, he does expect to be permitted to reach out his hand with the rest of man and grasp a lump unimidated. Sometimes it has been said that the measure of the standard of a man, to which the world has its high ideal formed, cannot be attained by the gorgo, but blind indeed must be the person who cannot see the facts being brought each day, showing that the steeps are being climbed and the summits reached. For I am sure you are conversant with the facts of the "Forward Movement," the Y. M. C. A. Rally, and when you remember that these are practically new movements among us, the great measure in which he is responding to these demands and responsibilities can be better appreciated. In Chicago it was announced that two philanthropists offered $25,000, to be given, if they could among themselves raise $50,000. When the lists came in they had $65,000. In Philadelphia figures show that negroes subservied $25,000, and in Atlanta not long ago two negro men gave $1,000 each, and one $500 for the Young Men's Christian Association work. You may say I have cited you only an antagonist, and if you do I shall tell you. If one negro goes wrong, you make more of that than I have made of this instance. Theories of evolution have been relied upon to prove that the negro evolved from a lower animal, but it has not been satisfactorily shown to be. Even to this there will be no objection if, as Coburn says, man was evolved from a lower order. I heard a gentleman say that we are all made out of one mud, and another fittingly repiled, yes and saved by one blood. We expect the truth of Paul's statements to be made evident in the life of the world through, Christianity. (Gal 3:28) "There is neither Jew nor Greek, neither bond nor free, there is neither made nor female. for ye are all one in Christ Jesus." (Acts 17:26) "And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth." I read in The Evening Metropolis of February 25, this year, a plan of a lawyer for a white boy fourteen years old, convicted of burglary, and after he had told the disadvantages through which the boy had come, he said: "But we ought not to condemn a boy offended, like that, when we know that a rose can't bloom in the dark, nor a diamond sparkle until it is dug out of the ground, cut and polished, and a boy has to have a chance, too. You have heard my story: if say man wishes to give this boy a chance, commends with me." Then, if this is a plan from a standpoint of Christianity, and I believe it, we look to Christianity, knowing through what the Christian says that he is in all his glory and glory, and that he is FIVE CENTS A COST VALUE OF HOME AT TUSKEGEE Institute Built as a Fiction in the Recognition of Students. GROUP OF FAITIFUL WORKERS. Interesting Account of How Captain N. Clark Smith Has Developed the Musical Side of Student Life at Tuskegee Institute—President of the Organization and its Employees. Tunjapah, Alia—The Tunjapah Institute institute band, under the leadership of Capita N. Clark Smith, is doing expanded work in developing the musical tastes of the people, showing in a new way the possibilities of the face in musical accomplishments. At last thought one thinks of the organization as one of the same type as other musical clubs that have sprung up in schools and colleges in the last twenty-five years. But, interesting as their work may be, the presence of these students is even more a. The boys is composed of fifty boys, representing the three great centers of Negro population, Africa, West Indian and a majority of the states of the Union, several coming from Porto Bike. They represent at the same time seventeen different trades. Seven of them are carpenters, seven are farmers, there are two harness makers, three printers, three electricians, one bookkeeper, three electricians, one bookkeeper, three electricians, four plumbers, two tanners, five tailors, one baker, two janitors, four architects, two drymen, one butcher and one enameer. Nearly every one of these students was taken by Lainna Smith. In the raw" written by Mary Whitney and drilled up to his present efficiency. Some of them had never even seen an board of their instrumentation, and one only seen all best their play to appraise what Chippeau himself has achieved, to his skill and patience, and the body of his musicians. In short, the point is that these things that the teacher made in the raw late two years also prize of them even later, when they could play nothing, and has brought them to the point where they play even the old matters in highly creditable style. That so much has been done in so short a time is accounted for only by the fact that the boys are willing to work and do work. On Sunday there is an extra demand for music. Drill and inspection are held as usual. At 11 o'clock an orchestra composed of twenty-five members of the band supports the symphony at morning services.

From the beginning Dr. Buster T. Washington with rare devotion has made the racial love for music serve the purposes of discipline. With characteristic wisdom he has warmth in music, sees cheerfulness, uses restraint and lofty aspiration and sting endearment. Let the students sing, let them have music wherever possible, and we will not need overseers, watchmen and bots, says Dr. Washington. The soundness of his reason is seen in the unusual discipline maintained among the students of Tukenga, with a joke like "I am not asked to all who belong in it." Of the keges is an indispensable part of the discipline, and stifling cigarettes with it is effectuous. The students delight in it, and the joke is easy, can be seen in the heartiness with which they stay whatever they have a chance. Dr. Washington is a most loyal supporter of Capita Smith and all who have to deal with music in Tukenga. Humbert to Indel Recommends to en- sure the provision of Custody Service in the Province.

OUR TICKET: On the first page of our paper this week appears our ticket. We have decided on these candidates with mallore towards none, but believe they are the best men for the places and are broad enough to give everybody a square deal. TWO SIDES. There have been many things said derogatory to the local committee of the National Baptist convention held here recently. In the reply from this committee, which appears in this issue, we feel they have set a right many of the accusations that have been made against them, and should put these preachers in a favorable position before the public and set at rest these false rumors. Sweet girl often gets vinegarish old yellow. The exclusive girl would rather be near kissed than never kissed at all. Some girls can't help flirting, others feel bound to help the boy who would flirt. The man I call real nice is the one who is ever so nice to men as well as to girls. By the time a girl is through worrying over her freckles, the wrinkles come to give her anxiety. The girl who makes joy riding appointments finds out too late that the price of gasoline is tremendously high. Dad feels cheated that he has to spend on the trousseau after he's spent so much on electric lights and party gowns. Perspicacity throws dim prospects on bold relief. A serene mind is always master of the others. Screens don't shut out the noise of screaming. No time like the present to let the past take care of itself. A career may just be an excuse to bat mother wash the dishes. Manners and morals get sadly mixed in some strata of society. Ignorance is a drawing card, besides being bliss. Brides are most delightful when they know least. Nobody knows but hubby how that new gown is fastened, the kind that drapes around. The woman who marries to reform a man, generally, gets little loose change. The happy man doesn't weep that his wife is in the country, unless he sees the dirty dishes accumulate. The grave person is not the one most willing to die. Nobility of mind is the only aristocracy a sensible people should long for. To show one's teeth in amusement is better than to show them in rage or envy. The Golden Rule seems to be overwhelmed by the rule of brass some of the time. It seems to follow the law of compensation that, for every thought of malice, we suffer others' malicious LOCAL NEWS IT IS SINGERELY HOPED THAT EVERY COLORED VOTER IN THE NEW FIFTY WARD WILL GIVE HIS VOTE AND HEARTY SUPPORT AT THE PRIMARIES TO OUR DOWN THREE CANDIDATES, J.

E. church stands was furnished to a representative of this paper by the pastor, Rev. L. A. Virgil. Rev. Virgil stated that the church has paid up all interest due to date to the Aronson Realty Company, but that the Aronson people have failed to pay their interest. The mortgage is a blanket mortgage and was given against the entire 284 feet front purchased by Warren church and valued at $18,000. The offer of another church to exchange property with Warren church is thought by many to signify that Warren church is owned of unfairness, though no limit of this supposition was given to the Courier reporter by Dr. Marshall. At all events, a strengeness of effort is being made by the church is to hold on to their beautiful edifice. Sixty-two hundred dollars must be raised by October 1 in order to accomplish this. A call for aid is given to all members and all friends of Warren church irrespective of denominations. Wanted—We have too much house room; there are just two of us.

He has lived in Pittsburgh over 40 years and his achievements can be set down to his energetic methods, his honesty and his ability. Mr. Rauh was born in Dubuque, Iowa. He came to Pittsburgh in 1870 after securing a primary education in the West. He first worked as an errand boy in the employ of the A. Lipmann Company, who conducted a drygoods store here. In 1882 he had advanced remarkably, and after severing his connection with the Lipmann Company, became associated with Rauh Brothers & Company, wholesale men's furnishers, of which he is still an active partner. He also became associated with the Homer-Laughlin China Company twelve years ago and in this firm still maintains an interest. Always active in the business of the city, he won confidence and popularity among his associates and was chosen several years ago as president of the Pittsburgh Association of Credit Men. He still holds that office and much of the success of the organization is due to his energy and progressiveness. He is also a member of the Concordia Club and it was during his term of office as president that the organization erected its new home. Mr. Rauh was one of the nine prominent citizens of Pittsburgh who was honored by Governor John K. Tener last June by appointment to a seat in the city Council, after the new charter had passed by the state legislature. He has always been deeply immersed in his business, but he displayed a willingness to sacrifice his personal interests to give his time and ability to the people. He has served a worthy term during his few months as counselman and now stands on the platform of past achievement as a candidate, with the other eight city legislators, Ter election in November. It was due chiefly to his efforts, and other councilmen that suppressing legislation was taken against the city delinquent tax office, which has prospered so long at the expense of the people. Mr. Rauh lives at 5837 Bartlett street and, after a record of, over thirty years in business in Pittsburgh, employs hundreds of people. His treatment of his employees always has been exemplary, which is patent by the fact that there have never been any strikes, and he has never been defended in a suit. He is well known as a philanthropist, giving chief attention to ameliorating the condition of the orphans of the city. We Should Think of Each as He Is Rather Than as the World Sees Him. It is worth our while to remember that the oar of all the Renaissance does not sit in royal state with a drown on his head all the time. No, he goes "homer" battles, just as do the men who work in shoe factories or charnels in the stews, or who play in the fields, and when the "homer" are done and the evening comes on, and the supper dishes are cleaned away these cups in the candle, the spoon go in this candle. The "homer" when he commends about will the play with the little folks and plays "indian," or some other childish game in which all can take part. Every man has to be something more than the world knows him to be. The man when the world knows as a great and revered judge is only "my papa" to the little children who listen for his step on the walk or his knock at the door. In their homes all men are equal. The great man becomes a private citizen and the most humble toler, to the little ones depending on him for guidance and support, becomes a great man. "For a man's house is his castle," said the great lawmaker, Sir Edward Coke. Let this house be made of boards or bricks or granite walls, it is presumed to be equally as invaintable before the law. If we shall, think of every man as he is rather than as the social or industrial implement the world sees fit to make of him, we shall judge men more correctly—Christian Science Monitor, Worthy Object Let us sometimes live—be it only for an hour, and though we must lay all else aside—to make others smile. -Charles Wagner. One Cause for Rebelship. Irish Doctor—Well, I've knocked the fayer out o' him, anyhow. Wife—Oh, doctor, do you think there is any hope? Doctor—Small chance, I'm afraid, madam; but you'll have the satisfaction of knowing that he died cured—Detroit Saturday Night. Don't Take Him at His Word. Sometimes you hear one say he likes to be told his faults, and to have others tell him plainly when they don't like what he does, but don't you believe it. There's only one person can tell a man his faults and still be lied by him, and that's his wife. And even she would better not overdo it. Court of Appeals Richard S.

Thackeray rarely drew an out and out portrait, though he sometimes ventured on a recognizable caricature of people he detected. In a "Boundabout 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 writes 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 Thackeray made up his own personages out of "odds and ends of character." 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 congenial 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, Thackeray painted Warrington's abandoned wife as a bad woman which Mr. Fitzgerald was not, but only a very foolish and snobbish one. Besides the originals already suggested, James T. Field hints at a fourth in Barry Cornwall, and Gen James Grant Wilson says Thackeray told a Philadelphia that Warrington was an English professor of Latin.—William S. Walsh, in Columbian. Youth Never to Be Recalled. A man h. a shrewd suspicion that age has overtaken him when he keeps assuring you that he feels as young as ever—and he doesn't know but—younger. Poor fellow, he whistles to keep his courage up; but, alas! he cannot recall youth as he calls his pointer—with a whistle. An Autocrat's Relaxation. "You seem to get a great deal of pleasure out of business." "Yes," replied Mr. Dustin Stax, "after I have fretted over a golf match there's nothing rests me up like getting back to my desk, where I can have everything my own way." The Open Air. Get out of the house whenever you are able, and if you only have a little leisure time to spend out in the open make the surroundings indoors as nearly as possible like the outdoors by keeping the air fresh and the windows open. Man goeth to his long home—Modi states, 12:5. One of the most momentous problems of the present day is the question of home life. Shall the old ideas of home be abandoned? Shall home influence be training, home religion, become things of the past? Shall there be such an institution as home in the civilization of the twentieth century? These are no imaginary inquiries. Thoughtful men and women everywhere, who see the signs of the times, are asking them in anxiety and alarm. The old home life which has been the strength of our Anglo-Saxon people is being menaced and undermined by some of the subtlet and strongest forces of modern civilization. There are powerful influences at work which threaten its dissolution and decay. Some of these may be indicated in a few words. First are the new ideas of woman's sphere and work which are coming into vogue. A social revolution is proposed which shall take woman out of home life, place her side by side with man in business and politics, and put her into competition with him in every activity of life. We the out speaking now of those noble women who, under the compulsion of stern necessity, have gone out into the world to earn a living for themselves and those who are dependent upon them. We refer to that modern theory which insists that the education of woman shall be identical with that of man, that her position in business and society shall be the same as him, and that every avenue of life shall be thrown wide open to her. These ideas are rapidly gaining ground. If they continue to grow apace, we must soon bid goodbye to the fair ideals of womanhood which the past has laboriously built up. Let woman unsee herself, and abdicate the throne from which she has long ruled the world, and go to hold her own among men, and she will forselt the reverent honors which men have learned to pay to her and leave behind her a land full of desolate and ruined homes. She will have to answer to God for having deprived the world of the oldest, sweetest, sacredest, mightiest institution which he has given it, the human home. Another of the examples of home life is the increased social activities of our day. The reactions of social life have become almost more than we can bear. It demands time and thought, kills men and women out of gut heat, drags them easily to and fro, makes them public characters, wounds them out under the Transmutation strain, and leaves their children and the home life to lengthy and painful, and the value of them. Yeah, and more than this—it grows the young, assimilates the young, out of the healthful societies of home and hurries them (all unprepared) into the full glory of social publicity, to be damaged, blamed, lost. Another of the hostile forces in the business world. Its demands have become unmanageable. Its dangerous rivalry. Its economic activity, involve transactions war and fear. Business men are often neglected to all their rightful place at home. They are nervous, overwhelmed, absorbed, unable to enter into the pursuits and pictures of family life. Sometimes the stern requirements of trade keep them away from home until they become strangers at their own fireside. The last enemy of which we have time to speak is the secular spirit of the times. This is not a deeply religious age. The tendency is to try to make men and women and human institutions simply moral without mak When Ibsen had completed a new play the papers in Copenhagen announced the fact with a great flourish of trumpets, and added: "The master will deposit his manuscript at the National theater at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning." At that hour the road between Ibsen's house and the theater was lined with people. The great man appeared with his precious roll of paper neatly tied up. As it slipped through into the letter box the public gave a great about. The philosopher acknowledged the demonstration with a grave bow and retired within doors with the consciousness of having performed a glorious mission. Every one of his ordinary acts in public was accompanied by a mise en scene, and even when he sat the curtains of the window were drawn aside so that his features might be visible to his admirers outside. "Eschmann's "Secrets de Couleurs." FEEDING THE POOR Albert W. Ransom, lawyer, of 35 Nassau street, said today that the best legal joke he ever heard was of a lawyer who was shown the aights of a certain town by the county judge. Here is the story: After the judge had, with considerable pride, shown to the lawyer the courthouse, the city hall and other public buildings of his town, the lawyer inquired, "But where do you feed your poor?" The dignified judge looked perplexed for a few seconds and then, with a sunny smile, remarked: "Oh, we feed our poor on the provisions of the Revised Statutes."—New York Sun. TWISTED. "What we want," said the magazine editor, "is a story that reflects real life." "That's the trouble with our current literature," replied the harsh critic. "We are getting too much fact in our efforts for fiction and too much fiction in our alleged facts."—Washington Star. Meditation is a splendid habit—it keeps a guy from making a reckless fool of himself. A Christian home—why is it such a fine and precious thing? Because it is a garden of the Lead, a nursery for human lives to grow in. Its rich fertile soil furnishes the very best field for the development of the virtues which we must need. Its seclusion, its shelter, its wise and careful culture, are invaluable to growing souls and nothing can make up for the lack of them. The home is the God-appointed educator of mankind. We have a multitude of institutions which we call "schools," but the real schools, where the real lessons of life are learned, are the homes of America. We hear a great deal about "the higher education," but there is a higher education still, the highest that can be had. It is found by the lofty lessons of self-control and self-sacrifice, and sublime faith and splendid trust; which home life has such marvelous power to teach. There is no training to be had in school or cottage or any, where in the world, which can take the place of the discipline of home. Every true Christian home is a university, fully equipped, amply endowed and able to give the highest education which can be got in this world. Home is a training school for all mankind. It is not only the children who are to be learners there. "Often we older ones learn more at home than those who are young in years. Our Lord's words are literally true, "Except ye become as little children, ye cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven." We are all learners in the home school. We have to learn there to conquer pride and selfishness and willfulness and discontent—in a word, to subdue and govern self. We need to learn under the wholesome discipline of home to be strong and patient, to be hopeful and brave, to be kind and thoughtful, to be tender and true. How good it is to learn these great lessons of life, not by rude contact with the hard, cold world, but in the sacred shelter of a Christian home! O ye who have such homes, thank God for his unapprehable gift! You have the best thing that is to be bad in this world. Make the most of it. Be true to all its responsibilities. Love your home, cherish it, brighten it, beautify it, fill it with the fragrance of never-falling love and sympathy, guard it jokingly against anything which might mar its happiness. Remember, you may not have it long. Your home may may stay be radically broken up and you may be cast out into the wide, cold world. Then you will wish to carry with you a well-practiced character and high and solid principles and all the subgoverns which can be had, not the least of which are the bright and happy memories of the home like you have left behind. Make, then, your home like something which it will always be a joy and an inspiration to look upon. "Man growth to his long home." There is a long home which bur Lord is preparing for those who love him. Why has God given us these earthly homes? Is it not to prepare us for, to touch an ankle, to make us desire, a heavenly home? The light and holy purpose of home here is to make us homecick for that "home of fideless splendor," that "sweet and bloomed country which eager hearts expect." The full bloom and fruitage of our home life will be found not here below, but in the thrilling, satisfying life of our Eternal Home with God—Wyllys Rede, D. D. POETRY BY TELEPHONE. "Hello!

As early as 1791 distinguished men of the faith were honored with titles and among them were many men identified with the history of the country. Later they were deprived of the right to hold titles. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Observant persons who are in constant contact with the diversified interests of the race, must admit that there is a rapidly increasing need for young men and young women of business and commercial training. It is a fact that we are turning our attention toward business pursuits more now than toward the professional or industrial. Banks are being established on all sides by men of color both in the north and in the south; colored insurance companies are operating successfully in every state of the southern group; secret orders are flourishing among our people, and must secure office forces for their home and branch offices: publication houses and newspapers are being run for the benefit of our people; drug stores are open in cities and towns throughout the southland; churches are developing to such magnitude that pastors must employ private secretaries; denominational departments must have office forces; stores must have bookkeepers and clerks—the demand for the commercially trained will soon become far-reaching and persistent. Where will our young people secure training to fit them for these positions? Our colleges continue to turn out school teachers, and those prepared along this line must scuffle for place because of a seeming over supply, while the negro business man worries along with ill-prepared help of a clerical sort. The young negro, too, is entering business for himself with practically no knowledge of bookkeeping and business forms. We are not venturing to criticise our institutions of learning. They have done, and are doing, a great work. Why are they not awaking to this growing need? To our certain knowledge through commercial courses are not conducted in a half-dozen reputable negro colleges in all this broad southland. Yet the need of which we speak is growing yearly in an ever increasing ratio. Where must the stenographers, bookkeepers, salesman, clerks, etc., come from whom we need now and will need in larger numbers in the future? Their employers can do but little toward training them. A sufficient number to meet the demand cannot go north to pursue courses in business colleges and commercial departments there. Young people can often be heard inquiring where they can learn shorthand, typewriting and bookkeeping, and if private instruction cannot be procured, they drift into mental employment. Distinct colored commercial colleges are hardly possible at this time. With but a slight outlay for colleges already in operation can meet the need. Many who will not take complete literary or industrial courses would enter colleges to receive commercial training with such literary subjects as a commercial course would require. Honestly and conscientiously we feel that along this particular line negro colleges will soon be a decade behind the times. It is here they can be to the young people an added benefit. We are hoping many of them will awaken to a situation that may before long become serious, and put in with their courses one to give practical commercial training—Southern Life Magazine. Baroness Von Groyos, wife of George S. Wilkins of New York, has strong hope of solving the american servant problem. She, brought with her from the Philippines a Filipino girl named Dogma. "My husband was a commissioner to the Philippines," she said, "and while there I found the native girls splendid servants. My idea is to open schools for them in this country and solve our vexed servant problem. I have already been promised help by society women for various entertainmenta I will give to get the schools started." Andrew Carnegie, she said, is to furnish all the books that are necessary for the establishment of the schools.—Southern Life Mugazine.

The merry dolphins have a peculiar murmuring cry, and when the sailors hear it they say the dolphins are talking together. Of all the creatures of the sea these show the greatest exuberance of animal mirth. Often they are seen by ships' passengers in the Mediterranean and the northern Atlantic ocean frolicking and leaping from the surface of the sea with a thousand graceful motions. Now they leap with curved bodies many feet Education and wealth are both set with many dangerous perils. Especially is this tree in a race that had its building in race building like ours had forty-five years ago. Some of the few who have been specially favored with the advantages of an academic and college education, and likewise some of the few that have been blessed with the tact for acquiring some wealth, have had good sense to know and to feel that their highly favored conditions only entailed upon them the more the task of helping to raise those of the race who were less favored. Then there have been others of the favored few who have felt, judging by their actions, that their education and wealth was to put them beyond the reach of their fellows and thus leave them to struggle up the hill by themselves, or else wither and die in the misery of their own ignorance and poverty.—Western Star. Our attention has been called to the neglect of infant baptism by some of our pastors. There is no service that should be more eagerly sought and more faithfully performed. See to it brethren that every child in your congregation is baptised and properly instructed in the things that "pertain to his soul's health"; infant baptism is not only a beautiful and impressive sacrament but one that means so much to the permanent growth of the church and contributes largely to the saving of the individual.—Star of Zion. There are quite a number of business enterprises in Greater New York controlled and managed by the members of our race which are not receiving the support from our people that they should. In the particular neighborhood where these enterprises are located are thousands of negroes who spend thousands of dollars. It would be to the interest of negroes to give a larger proportion of the money they are now spending to their own stores. Negroes should build up their own. Harlem and other localities have large negro populations and are splendid fields for business development among negroes.—New York Age. The movement for colored hospitals and hospital work seems to be increasing. In Columbia, S. C., a new hospital is planned by Dr. Matilda Evans. In Spartanburg, S.

In Annapolis, Md., the state is preparing, for an $20,000 building for a negro hospital for the indigent insane. —Ex. Some interest is being created by the employment of colored girls as waiters in the place of men by a famous hotel at Raleigh, N. C. The Richmond TimesDispatch, a white daily, says of the innovation: "It opens a new field for the colored girls, and should go a long way towards solving another of the difficult problems with which inkeepers have to deal. There is no reason why the plan should not work, as the same service has been found entirely satisfactory in thousands of southern homes." The negroes of South Carolina should feel proud of the fact that they enjoy access to so many colleges and higher institutions of learning. They should also feel grateful to the men and women who, for many years, have been at the head of these respective institutions. Year by year since its establishment each of these institutions has grown in importance and in favor with the people.—Southern Ploughman.

Way down South in Dixie land Shines the sun today; Memory sees through fleeting years Little folks at play; Catching crawfish in the pond Overgrown with grasses. Just behind the sugar house Where the long road passes. Silent is the engine room— Bolsters rusted over; Still, the whirling governor balls— But there, blooms clover! Little frogs and hot Watch for crawfish shy; Sunbonnets and pinafores Very much awry! Bees are humming; butterflies Flit from bloom to bloom. See, the great red crawfish comes Slowly to its doom! Reaches out his long sharp claws— Smells the tempting bait— Seizes hold-ha, shouts of joy. He has met his fate! Fiercely claws and goggle eyes Hold the foe at bay. While he swiftly down the bank Backs and crawls away. Eager little fingers then Bait again with glee; Never any crawfish yet Quite so big as he! Softly through the summer air Thistledown is sailing. Brewed bloom and white clouds drift. Patence unavailing. Wearied grow the little hands Of line and fishing pole; Shave the old red crawfish then To sink within his hole! —M. E. Buhler, in New York Times. THE GARDENER A gardener old, with eyes and senses keen. Bent o'er his garden, plot of springing green And tended carefully each tiny shoot. Each nun-flecked leaf and struggling little roof. When suddenly he spied a strange small blade. Of which he knew not, and he quickly made A gaping hole the where its root had been. And tossed it o'er the wall among the green. The days went by. In air and shower and sun The clay blade a tall, slim stalk had grown. And, tipping its fair length with sunny light. A great gold lily opened to the sight. The gardner not, booking o'er the wall one day. Esplied the thing which he had thrown away. And with a sigh and sad, regretful air, 'Its looks were wicked, but its soul was fair.' 'Its ever thus. The flowers are tossed aside. The weeds remain. The gardeners in their pride See not the future, only the today. And throw the sweetest things of life. —W. P. Steinhouser, in the Lutheran. THREE ROSEBUDS RARE. Pink rosebud, blushing through a mist of dew. Your subtle fragrance fills the morning air. And makes the day and all our lives more fair. My heart o'erflows with love, Mignon, for you. Pale, perfect bud, drooping with tender grace. Your may petals hide a heart of gold. Which glows with splendor as your leaves unfold. Rest on my heart, it is your rightful place. Soft, crimson bud, who art the gift of God. The poet's ear may hear your fairy voice Bidding the waking world once more rejoice. The wedding illies and the em'raid soil Oh, this fond heart of mine shall sweetly rest With these three rosebuds, clasped unto my breast. —Meta E. O'Connor. HARVEST TIME IN DIXIE. Bet ol' Dixie ain't forgotten— Fields just fine with corn an' cotton; Hooray Today For the harvest time in Dixie! The birds are still, but the bells are ringin'. The harvest sets the wide world singin': "Hooray!" They say, "For the harvest time in Dixie!" Oh, bless yer stars an' reap yer money, Take yer place an' swing yer honey; Hooray. Today For the harvest time in Dixie! (Continued from Page One. poet of Christianity, second, as a citizen of the Republic? The negro has proven himself loyal and true to every call and claim of this great Republic. For when the burning desire for freedom from English oppression saw the light of day, he was there. When the last possession of the U. S. was received with open hands, he was there. From the riot in Boston to the Spanish-American war, the blood of the negro has been mingled with the blood of other men, making a mighty stream, the price bringing us freedom, protection and the enlargement of our borders. As for bravery, there is no smirch upon him, for he has shown himself worthy of this trust to all rational minds. If any doubt, just one reference, and that is all I have space to make. Take a run with me to San Juan, and see him as he calls through shot and shell to the head of the fort and places there the pride of the Republic.—Old Glory. For scholarship he has snowed under all attacks made upon him by measuring up to the standards of educational heights, and in the classes of artists, specialists and inventors he is found. For the accumulation of property he has outstripped the record found upon the historical setting of the world's progress, and now owns and controls, according to Dr. Booker T. Washington—and he is no mean authority—five hundred and fifty million dollars' worth of property, two hundred thousand farms, four hundred thousand homes. He should be guaranteed protection, food, clothing, shelter, safety of life and property, prosperity, healthful sanitary systems, comfort and security. Like the men during the time of the revolutionary uprising who cried "Peace, peace, peace," but there was no peace, there are among us those who cry "Patience, patience, patience." This almost ceases to be virtue when you remember that of unrest has been born the noblest acts; greatest deeds, and highest achievements. Then, there are those who rest secure upon the adage, "Good things come to those, who wait," but they must turn and read on the other side—"All things come to those who hustle while they wait." Christianity takes care of the yellow man in China—the black man in Africa, but the negro is here and expects humane treatment. He expects Christianity to save him from being ignored, mobbed and exploited. He expects Christianity to see to it that he is treated sanely, sympathetically, and also steadfastly and intelligently. He does not expect of Christianity special friendship, but he does expect the friendship and consideration due a man on the basis of the Fatherhood of God, Saviorhood of Christ, and Brotherhood of Man. Thus we would get the equality guaranteed by the true exemplification of the principles given by Christ, for there is no color of the soul. A little more Christianity for the white man, as well for the negro, will go a long way toward solving the so-called race problem on these shores. It has been said, and it is a good point, that "the white man of the south will not say 'Mister,' yet a Christian will call him brother." This points to a settlement of the so-called race question. A weaker, a more deficient and perhaps an erring brother he may be, but the negro is still a brother. He is one of God's children. He is a member of the great human family for whom Christ died. WHEREIN WILLIE WAS FAVORED. Dorothy, Delia and Daisy, three youngsters of a New Jersey town, were discoursing about the baby brothers who had taken up their residence in the three families during the past year. "My little brother Tom's got a lovely silver mug that grandfather just sent him," said Dorothy. "It's a beauty, and he had a silver knife and fork from grandma, too." "My little brother Harry's got a beautiful carved rattle that Uncle Dick sent him from Japan," said Delia. "It's the prettiest rattle that ever was." "My little brother Willie's not so big as your brothers," said Daisy, with an air of endeavoring to conceal a feeling of triumph, "but the doctor says he's had more spasms than any other baby in this whole neighborhood, so there!"—Lippincott's. IN MEXICO An American engineer from Mexico City was talking about President Diaz. City was talking about President Diaz. "Diaz has a dry humor," he said. "Mexico, however, is not a dry land. They drink pulque there; a drink made from the cactus, which looks like milk and tastes like vinegar. Three glasses of pulque will make a Sunday school superintendent walk 30 miles through a blizzard to murder his wife and children. "No, Mexico is not dry. One day a Mexican statesman arrived at President Diaz's an hour late for luncheon, He apologized in a thick voice. "The fault," he said, "lies with my automobile." "But, friend," said Diaz, "don't you know that an automobile is run by gasoline, not by alcohol?"—Cincinnati Enquirer. WELL! WELL! "Don't get disheartened—think of the porous plaster." "What of that?" "Everybody turns his back on it, yet it hangs on, and in the end achieves success by close application." A Spartan. The negro hackman had driven them over a long and dusty road.
