Interesting Incidents In the Life of Pioneer Religious Publication, Which Was a Power For Good In Creating Sentiment Against Slavery—Educational Work of Methodist Church. Philadelphia.—As this is perhaps the first time in the history of the race that a newspaper has reached such an age, the editor of the Christian Recorder recently celebrated the occasion by the issuing of a special edition containing largely articles from the first edition of the Christian Recorder and from eminent Negro journalists. The Christian Recorder is published by the A. M. E. church, which has been the pioneer in so many efforts for the advance of the race. The A. M. E. church established and now controlled the oldest printing house managed by colored men in the world—the Book Concern of the A. M. E. church at 631 Pine street, Philadelphia. It was the A. M. E. church which established the first school for higher culture among the colored people. Wilberforce university, which recently celebrated its fifthth anniversary. The oldest magazine now in existence was established by the A. M. E. church. This church is the pioneer in independent Negro educational institutions in the south and was first to attempt the writing and printing of its own Sunday school literature. The Christian Recorder was, not however, the first Negro journal, though it is now the oldest. The first Negro journal was established by the Rev. J. B. Russworm in 1824, but it did not last long. The A. M. K. church published the Christian Herald. EDITOR R. B. WRIGHT, JR. in 1848. This had a very varied experience, but struggled on until the general conference in 1852, when his name was changed to the Christian Recorder, and to this day it has been known by the latter name. Its first editor was Rev. M. M. Chart, who was one of the best educated men of the colored race during his time. The Christian Recorder soon became one of the great forces in the life of our people, and in the abolition movement it took a prominent part. Upon its exchange list were many of the prominent religious papers of the country, and it was frequently quoted as being the authoritative paper and standing for the highest and best for the colored people. Today, although hundreds of secular papers have grown up, having a wider range and a larger constituency, yet the Christian Recorder is looked upon by all as the mother of our journalism and an influential factor in our racial life. It goes to the homes of the leading African Methodist ministers, who number over 6,000, and it holds a strong place of influence among race journals. Edited by the Best Trained Man. It is sometimes said that large popular organizations are not very careful in the selection of their leaders, selecting rather those who are given to oratory than those who are given more to thoughtful and constructive effort. But with the Christian Her order this has not been the case. The A. M. K. church has always selected for this paper one of its best trained men. Its first editor, Dr. M. M. Clark, was one of the first Negroes to take a college course and was graduated from Jefferson college in 1855. Dr. Clark took the paper in 1852 and was its editor till 1854, when he was succeeded by Rev. (after Bishop) J. P. Campbell. Editor Campbell was one of the best students of his day. He was succeeded by the Rev. Eliza Weaver, another strong, well trained member of the A. M. E. church. The first editor elected after the close of the civil war was perhaps the most brilliant the paper has ever held, the Rev. (now Bishop) Benjamin T. Tanser, who was editor from 1858, when he joined and became editor of the A. M. E. Kerrie, the sole to keep magazine in synergy. JUSTICE HUGHES' NEW RESIDENCE It Is Located Next to Negro Tenement. ONLY WHITE MAN IN BLOCK Washington, D. C.—When Justice Charles E. Hughes of the Supreme Court takes possession of his $100,000 home, which will be finished in a few weeks, he will be the only white man living in the block on the street on which his house faces. Soon after-President Taft appointed Governor Hughes to the Supreme Court the latter came to Washington and spent several days looking for house. He was not satisfied with anything on the market and rented a large old-fashioned house in Massachusetts avenue (extended) for his first season. Then he and Mrs. Hughes spent many afternoons house-hunting, but they were disappointed again and decided finally to buy Justice Hughes to sit at the time that as he expected to spend the greater part of his life in the city he wished to make home that satisfied him in every particular. For a long time he debated whether he would build in Massachusetts avenue or Sixteenth street, the two most select streets in the city. He chose the latter finally and bought a good-sized lot on the corner of Sixteenth and V streets. The lot has a frontage in Sixteenth street or about 20 feet and 100 in V street. In order to have an effective entrance he decided to have the residence face V street. There was no other house of any size in V street. The property had been held for years at a high price and remained vacant. Shortly after work was started on the Hughes home the entire frontage on both sides of V street between Sixteenth and Seventeenth streets was announced for sale at a greatly reduced price. The land had to be sold and was bought in by a speculative builder, who started the construction of 20 two-story "box" houses. The houses were completed six weeks before the roof was on the Hughes house. The addresses did not appeal to white purchasers, or tenants and were promptly offered to colored people, who hastened to locate in such a "swell" neighborhood. Although they have been on the ground since 1985, they are no longer occupied - Flitchburgh Patch. JURY ACQUITS A LYNCHING SUSPECT Coatesville Young Man Is Given Freedom—Verdict in Less Than An Hour Joseph Schwartz, the first of the alleged leaders of the mob that removed Zack Walker, a Negro, from the Coatesville hospital and burned him to death, was found not guilty after the jury had been out less than an hour. The case was given to the jury after Judge Butler had delivered what was considered by the counsel for the defense as an impartial charge. The defense introduced testimony to prove that Schwartz was not an active participant in the lynching and several young women testified that they had seen him elsewhere at the time the Negro was burned. Schwartz was released from prison and at once left for Coatesville.—Pittsburgh Dispatch. When Mr. Montague, the English traveler, was in Africa, he gave to a native an old single-barrelled gun, and the fellow was delighted. He put it a small handful of powder, and about a quarter of a newspaper on top of it, and finally a ball, and then rammed the whole charge down. Then he departed. In the evening he returned, with his face battered and swollen almost beyond recognition. "What have you been doing?" asked the Englishman, in amusement. The native sat down on the ground and sald, sorrowfully: "A little after noon I found the track of cland, and I followed it until I found them feeding. I crept up to one of them. He was twenty yards away, I rested the barrel of the gun on a stone, placed the butt against my nose, directed the muzzle toward the cland, and pulled the trigger. I do not know what happened, for I was blind and deaf for some time, but when I came to I found myself lying at the bottom of the gully. The gun was beaked me, my face was as you now see it, and the clands had gone away. Son of a white man, it was very kind of you to give me a gun, but it is too good a gun for me—too strong, too powerful. I need the wisdom of a white man to ruil it. Take it back. Farewell!"

AN EVANGELIST'S EFFECTIVE WORK Results Obtained by Personal Contact With the People. CROWDS AT CONVERTS' RALLY Summer Campaign of the New York Evangelistic Committee Closed With Great Meeting In Carnegie Hall. Itinerary of the Rev. Dr. C. Larey Butler Ends Successfully. BY CLEVELAND G. ALLEN. New York.—One of the most successful evangelists in the country and one who has attracted wide attention in New York as a preacher is the Rev. Dr. C. Leroy Butler, formerly pastor of the St. James Prebysterian church in this city. Dr. Butler has met with annual success in this direction, and so powerful and convincing is he as an evangelist that he has been called the Chapman of the race and pronounced the most successful colored evangelist in the country. Dr. Butler, who is with the New New York angelic committee, has con- ```markdown ``` REV. DR. O. LEMOT BOTTLER. fected successful campaigns in Louisville, Knoxville, Pittsburgh and New York. The New York evangelistic committee, with headquarters in New York, is one of the strongest religious organizations in the world and has for its object the holding of revivals and conducting religious campaigns in the large cities of the country. It was the spread of the work of the evangelistic committee among the colored people of the large centers that necessitated the appointment of a member of the race to conduct revival meetings. Dr. Butler's effective work on the streets of New York in the thickly populated colored districts has done much for the moral and religious uplift of the race. Reference may be made to the San Juan Hill district, reputed to be the worst section in the city. The tone of this community has been greatly improved since Dr. Butler's effective campaigns. The evangelistic committee has closed its summer campaigns. At the converts' rally, held at Carnegie Hall recently, which was attended by fully 6,000 people, the work of Dr. Butler was especially commended by the committee. Dr. Butler told of the many colored communities which have been helped since the work was started. Dr. Butler's success as an evangelist is due to his forceful and earnest manner, which is courting and never falls to leave a decided impression. Dr. Butler is simply prepared for his life's work. He was born in Wilwville, Ala. After attending the pub school he went to Tulalde college, from which he graduated. After doing special work at Maryville college he entered the theological department of Lincoln university, from which he was graduated in 1890. In 1902 he came to St. James Presbyterian church, where he remained eight years. The church had wonderful growth under Dr. Butler, moving from a hall in West Tairy-third street to a handsome brick edifice in West Fifty-first street coating $40,000. The membership increased from a small stock of tweety members to a congregation of 400. Dr. Butler was prevailed upon to remain at St. James church, but felt that he could do greater good as an evangelist. He has planned an extensive campaign for the fall and winter, which will carry him over a large territory.

WHAT IS TO BECOME OF THEM AFTER COMPLETION OF WORK IS PROBLEM OF THE Anne, Canal Zone—The West Indian Negro has an important part in the building of the Panama canal. Notwithstanding his shortcomings, he has furnished the bulk of the unskilled labor that has made the success of the undertaking a certainty, and he is entitled to his full need of praise. In the beginning the West Indian Negro had a bad reputation. It was said that he lacked physical strength, that he had little or no plack, that he was稳健不可信, and that the canal never could be finished if he was expected to supply the greater part of the labor. But he has lived down his bad reputation in large part, and although it must be admitted that he is whiskered, incompetent and unexperienced, he has developed into a good welder and has played a big part in the success of the canal. The government pays the West Indian Negro on the goods cents a day, furnishing him with their lodgings in quarters and sells him three square meals a day for ten cents each, a total of thirty cents a day for the actual expenses of living. On the balance of ninety cents a day the West Indian Negro can get rich, as compared with his opportunities at home. But the free sanitary quarters, and the necessarily strict discipline maintained therein, did not please him. He sighed for his thatched hut in the "bush," for his wife and his chieftain, for the freedom of the tropic world. At first the canal commission was impelled to resist the West Indian cutture. The authorities believed that no ill-fitted workman could do as much work as a well-fitted one, and no "bush" dweller ever was known to be well fed. But it was demonstrated that the Negro in the sanitary quarters possessed an insatiable appetite for the work that resulted in the stable force would be more easily obtained by permitting the workers to live in their own way. Permission was given, and many of the laborers exchanged the sanitary restrictions of the commission quarters for the dolce far niente of the "bush." Marriage bonds are loose in the West Indies, and it might be saying too much to say that laborers brought their wives to the Canal Zone, but nevertheless they did build thatched huts all along the sides of the canal and establish their families therein and their broods of poultry thereabouts. The result of this experiment in larger liberty was in part a success and in part a failure. The list of names on the roll of workers was greatly lengthened, but there was no great addition to the force of men at work on any one day. It is a common saying on the Isthmus that if he were paid twice as much, a West Indian would work only half as long. The average Negro work about four days a week and enjoy himself the other three. It may be that the "bush" dweller is not fed as scientifically as the quarters man who gets three meals of the same weight as the standard United States army field ration, but he has his chickens, his truck patch, his family and his siddet, and he makes up an endament what he loses in science. The authors have been able to note little difference in the working efficiency of the "bush" men and the "furished quarters" men, except that those Negroes who are actually contained in quarters work a greater number of days in the month. When the Americans first began work here it was an accepted dictum that one Spaniard or Italian could do as much work as three Negroes. But the Negro has proved this to be libel, and if he only could be persuaded to stick to the job six days a week he might be quite as efficient as the European. But nothing can induce him to work all the time. Of course, there are exceptions to this rule. Some of the Negroes are militaristic, constant and thrifty. They save all they can, work steadily for a year or two, and then go back to Jamaica or Barbados to invest their money in a bit of land and become the Vanderbilt or Actor of their respective communities. In the economic and social environment of their native islands a hundred dollars in gold is as much wealth as is a hundred thousand dollars in the United States. The West Indian laborers at first were obtained by recruiting agents at work in the various islands, principally Barbados and Jamaica. Of the thirty thousand Negroes brought to the Canal Zone by the recruiting service, twenty thousand came from Barbados, not quite the percentage from other islands of the Caribbean. Yet the proportion of Jesuits at work on the canal is much greater than is indicated by the figures. In fact, the involvement of high wages and the low cost of storage passage from Jamaica to the Canal Zone had provided so many thousands of Jesuits that the Canal Commission may be limited in withdrawals for several NEW YORK BY NATIVE JACKSON BALL HAVEN, NORTHWEST AND DISTRICTION OF LINCOLN.

Of "Ethiopia Unknown" I wish to say that my book, in my judgment, of the present century holds greater interest to the impoverished and deserving Negroes of Africa and the world than it does. It is a serious book, written in a eager, handsome, real, and decisive manner, with a solid, penetrating and unmistakable meaning, his black world imagination—the solution of the darker races to the dominant races and the cause of the impureness and hopelessness of the latter. The author points out a why which he thinks will NORC COMMUNITY BATCH, have the effect of begitting more consideration and regard for those dark men, which are being made as apprehices by the downfall, generally greatly nations of the world. "Ethiopia (Umbanda) is a reminiscent book. It is a personal analytical study of present richest and uncultivated conditions as seen through the eyes of an African scholar and thinker. It is bound to create a favorable impression in America among Negroes who read it, especially those who think, as well as to exert surprise among whites men that a Negro has given such a faithful and accurate and truthful description of their methods in adding field to field "by richest that are wise and wary that are dark."

Dubois not only gives a fine editorial on "The First Universal Congress" in this month's issue of The Crisis, but also writes a separate account of the meeting in the same issue. Says The Crisis on the object of the meeting: Twenty-seven parishes in the state of Louisiana have more admirable educated children than eduitable white children, according to the report made to the department of education for the expiration of 1921 by the secretary under the law. The name What after all was the object of assembling a congress of this character? To many people it seemed a visionary scheme; what practical outcome could there be? The executive committee stated the purpose of the congress succinctly: 'The object of the congress will be to discuss, in the light of science and the modern conscience, the general relations substituting between the peoples of the west and those of the east, betweenocalled white and so-called colored peoples, with a view to encouraging between them a fuller understanding, the most friendly feelings, and a heartier co-operation.' Lord Weardale in his introduction to the volume of papers has enlarged upon this idea: 'To those who regard the furtherance of international good will and peace as the highest of all human interests, the occasion of the, first universal races congress opens a vista of almost boundless promise.' "No impartial student of history can deny that in the case of nearly all recorded wars, whatever the ostensible reasons assigned, the underlying cause of conflict has been the existence of race antipathies—using the word race in its broad and popular acceptance—which particular circumstances, often in themselves of trivial moment, have fanned into fame." The writer continued further with several other paragraphs and spools of the personnel of the meetings and exprets extracts from papers read by exponents of the most highly educated and scholarly men in attendance. We give a resume of one of the most important papers: "Dr. W. E. B. Dafoe, United States — The negro number about ten millions in the United States. Most of them descend from former slaves. They live at the present time, present a system of theoretical liberty, but it is restricted in practice by caring for dispositions and by custom. They are well disposed toward family life in so far as they are enabled to enjoy it and to education. They have希望 of their own. About two hundred thousand of them are farmers, and fifty thousand are engaged in commerce and the liberal professions. Seventy-five per cent of the negroes live in the south. One theory proposes that they should emancipate themselves by acquiring wealth, but it would seem that intellectual emancipation should proceed hand in hand with economic independence." Sr Harry Johnson, of England, stated that the physical difference from the white was merely a question of tasks. He spoke highly of the negryn's ability and his progress in various walks. Great good is hoped will be the result of such a meeting. These competed with the gathering claim it will promote cordial relations among all divisions of mankind, void of color or prejudice. Let us hope that all races are better off by the meeting. The negro must recognise and ap apreciate the favors which come to him, and stand with the man, or man who stand by him. All men in the white race are not enemies to the negro. There are thousands of persons of the Canadian race who often and persistently wish to well and when we find them, we should show by our attitude that we appreciate their kindness. You should patronise the man in business who shows by his acts that he desires you to succeed, and return in every way you can the favors which the charitably disposed show you. "He that would have friends must show himself, friendly." The masters do not know, nor even have an idea what the men whom they have put in front of the work, along the different lines, have to undergo. If they did they would be more considerate in their criticism of them. A great many of the people think that the men who are always on the road as representatives of the race are having a good time, but if those same people who have that idea were put on the road, or put in the lead for just one month, they would change their minds as to the good time that the leaders have—Helena Interstate Reporter. There are a goodly number of negroes in town who should be on the farm; but they cannot go unless they are backed by the moneyed men of this city. Charleston merchants and business men have just begun in the last one or two years to put out their money. They are buying real estate and selling it out to negroes. This is indeed commendable on their part. The next step will be the farm, and we do not care how quickly it comes. —Charleston (8. C.) Messenger. It pays every Afro-American youth to have a reputation for being courteous, truthful, trustworthy, honest and reliable.—Cadix Informer. That parents are losing control over their children is a fact that can not be denied, and unless more attention is paid to keeping the children under subjection in their youth the parents will supply suffer in old age.—Richmond Reformer. Genuine race men are today judged not so much by their talk, but by the impassioned way they hold on to so prominent race paper.—Philadelphia Tribune. Twenty-seven parishes in the state of Louisiana have more colorful colored children than adobeable white children, according to the parents made to the department of education for the administration of 1911 by the assessors under the law. The names of the parishes and the number of adobeable children, colored and white. are as follows: Pupillistic prophets are looking in vain for a "white hope" who shall develop strength enough to wrest the championship from black-brows. Of a recent tournament given to discover one of these "hope" the following description is at least suggestive: Great white hope tournament No. 3 did not pan out as the promoters and fans had hoped. To the contrary, it was what might be termed a frisk, and compared with No. 1 show, was disimparting. Only six of the 51 estimates get in appearance and of those only one made a paper like a regular supporter. In the finale he just his people and the decision at the same time, feeling his argument before we could get a real good deal on his ability. This kind of tournament is a单独 one and if principally do not develop frisk point exhibitionism some of them take a heavy position they show with patient skill and natural fishing ability to permit great exhibitionism others take him in hand with the addition of helping him into such side where an exchange of swings with his jack Johnson or his successor will be in order. The fact that a colossal man reigns on the pugilistic throne makes it possible for those known of little or noATIC capacity to show their warriors in a critical public, and while in the majority of instances has been peak light followers should take heart in the thought that it is through perseverance and constant application that anything worth while is over accomplished and hope some day tangible results will be the answer. Dallin Express. The encouragement which the negro ministers have given, by timely work from their polls and in such publications as they control, to the highest growth and expansion coinciding with the organization of the National Negro Business league is credible to them as the moral leaders of the people, which it is a pleasure to acknowledge. The business education which the negro ministers have had in the upbuilding of their great church denominations and educational institutions has been more helpful perhaps, than the business training received in negro fraternal and benevolent societies. The training has been of a character that could not have been gotten in any other way, as the business enterprises of the country were closed against the negro people, where such training is to be obtained—the practical training to the schools, has given the United States a presentment position in the politics and commerce of the world. But it is a fair statement of the situation that the practical work which the negro ministers are called upon to the people, has not so far been taught by them. The ministers should readily see that more preachment no longer suffices as the work needed to be done by them. The parish and community work which has given the Catholic church so much power and enabled it to exercise such great influence over the masses, in this continent and in Europe, is due in the main to the fact that the poor and the wealthy, the laborer and the business man, have been regarded by the church as equally the beneficiaries of its influence for the promotion of the common good. It is the hope that the negro ministers will give more attention to the business growth and expansion of their membership in the future than in the past. They could do this to advantage from the purely selfish point of view, if for no other, as a well-to-do, a prosperous membership, is no more helpful, more to be desired, than an impoverished one. Let pulpit and press work together in the future as in the past to get the negro a more solid foundation in the good things of earth—New York Age.

By order PETTINGER CORPORATION PUB. CO. OWN 122,000 GEUNGIA FARMS Negro Making Great Progress Along Agricultural and Industrial Lines. STATE AGRICULTURAL AND INDUSTRIAL FAIR TO BE HELD AT MACON NOVEMBER 8TH TO 18TH. Macon, Ga.—This year's Georgia State Agricultural and Industrial fair promises to eclipse all others. Invitations have been extended President Taft, Booker T. Washington and other distinguished citizens to deliver addresses. Prof. R. R. Wright, the leading spirit of the enterprise, who is also president of the Georgia State college, has just returned from the east where he had a talk with the country's chief executive and Dr. Washington relative to speaking at the fair, which will be held from November 8 to the 18th. Both assured him that they would make an effort to be present. For six years the Georgia State Agricultural and Industrial Fair association has been holding annual fairs, which have done much to create additional interest among the negroes of the state along agricultural lines. The idea of holding a fair yearly grew out of the farmers' conferences which have been held each year at the Georgia State college for the past 15 years. The amount of good these conferences and fairs have done for the negroes of Georgia is shown by figures. Today the race owns 122,000 farms in the state, an increase of 39,000 farms in the past ten years. From 55,000 to 38,000 is expended by the fair association annually in premiums and nearly one hundred persons are employed while the fair is being held. The daily attendance at previous fairs has been from 5,000 to 30,000. This fall the association expects a combined attendance of 200,000 persons. Not only the exhibits, but the attractions are on a par with those offered at the fairs promoted by whites. An effort is now being made to locate a colored aviator who can give an aerial exhibition in an aerial Prof. R. R. Wright, who has been president of the Georgia State college for 20 years, went east to extend President Taft an invitation to address the colored citizens at the faff. He carried with him letters from some of the prominent white citizens of Georgia, Including United States Senator Bacon, Mayor John T. Moore of Macon; Representative Bartley, Judge Callaway and W. H. Fleming of Augusta; Gen. P. W. Malvin of Savannah and Judge W. R. Iammond of Atlanta. GET CLOSE TO NATURE Why not make a collection of the common field weeds or flowers? Carefully prepare and press them in an old book; when they are dry fasten them to the right page of a sheet of paper. Let the left page fold over the right to furnish a cover for the plant. Make a collection of weeds and put them in small vials. Paste a label on the bottle. Learn to call by names as many insects and birds as you can. Ask any one who you think knows. Don't stop until you find out what you want to know. If you find a plant or insect you cannot name, carefully pack and mail it to the experiment station, and they will try to find its correct name. If there are birds you cannot name, describe them as to their size, color and flight. Give any other points you can—meet on ground, brush or tree; what they eat; whether they sing or whistle, etc. JUST LIKE HER BROTHER. The new cook, who had come into the household during the holidays, asked her mistress: "Where ban your son? I not seeing him round no more." "My son?" replied the mistress pridefully. "Oh, he has gone back to Yale. He could only get away long enough to stay until New Year's day, you see. I miss him dreadfully, though." "Yas; I knowing yoost how you feel. My broder, he ban in yail sax times since Thanksgiving."—Judge. PICKING AND PACKING PEARS. Many growers pick pears when they are quite green, but this is a mistake. It is better to pick pears when they are fully matured. Wrapped, carefully in paper they will reach the market in fine condition. If pears are picked green, they will remain green. They do not ripen as many people suppose. It is necessary to pack pears, plums and peaches just tightly enough so they will not bruise by burying in the packages. TACT. He (to second wife)—I am glad to be in this charming spot once more. FOLLOWED DIRECTIONS. Painting Master—Great Scott! You have blurred your painting hopelessly! Didn't I tell you to bring out the features more distinctly? Fair Pupil—Yes, and I followed your directions. I used two jars of the best massage cream on the market on that canvas, and it didn't do a bit of good. Judge. The mollycoddle thinks all the world has its eyes focused upon his slightest gesture. T. Howard Jeffries, banker's son, under the evil influence of Robert Underwood, a fellow-student at Yale, leads a life of dissipation, maniac, the danger of death, and is drowned in death, and is disowned by his father. He tries to get work and falls. A former college chum makes a business proposition to Howard which involves a loan to Robert Underwood, who had been repulsed by Howard's wife, Annie, in his college days, and had once been engaged to Alice. Howard's stepmother, has been married in prosperous circumstances. Howard recalls a $250 loan to Underwood, that remains unpaid, and decides to ask him for the $2,000 he needs to pay in intimacy with Mrs. Jeffries, Sr. becomes a sort of social highwayman. Discovering his true character she denies him the house. Alice is caught using suicide. She decides to go and see him. He is in desperate financial straits. Art deploys for whom he has been acting as commissioner, demand an accounting. He sells in an intoxicated condition. He asks Underwood for $2,000. CHAPTER VI—Continued. He helped himself to another drink, his hand shaking so that he could hardly hold the decanter. He was fast approaching the state of complete intolerance. Underwood made no attempt to interfere. Why should he save it the young fool made a set of himself? The sooner he drank himself insensitive the quicker he would get rid of him. "No, Howard," he said; "you'd never make a decant member of society." "Praps not," he contended Howard. "How does Annis take her social extracitation?" inquired Underwood. "Like a brick, she's a thorough-bed, all right. She's all to the good." "All the same, I'm sorry I ever introduced you to her," replied Underwood. "I never thought you'd make such a fool of yourself as to marry—" Howard shook his head in a maudlin manner, as he replied: "I don't know whether I made a feel of myself or not, but she's all right. She's got in her the makings of a great woman—very crude, but still the makings. The only thing I object to is, she insists on going back to work, just as if I'd permit such a thing. Do you know what I said on our wedding day? 'Mrs. Howard Jeffries, you are entering one of the oldest families in America. Nature has fitted you for social leadership. You'll be a potted, pampered member of that select few called the "400," and now, damn it all, how can I ask her to go back to work? But if you'll let me have that $3,000—" By this time Howard was beginning to get drowsy. Lying back on the sofa, he proceeded to make himself comfortable. "Two thousand dollars!" laughed Underwood. "Why, man, I'm in debt up to my eyes." As far as his condition enabled him, Howard gave a start of surprise. "Hard up!" he exclaimed. Poling around the room, he said: "What's all this—a bluff!" Underwood nodded. "A bluff, that's it. Not a picture, not a yase, not a stick belongs to me. You'll have to go to your father." "Never," said Howard dependently. The suggestion was evidently too much for him, because he stretched out his hand for his whisky glass. "Father's done with me," he said dolefully. "He'll relent," suggested Underwood. Howard shook his head drowning. Touching his brow, he said: "Too much brains, too much up here." Placing his hand on his heart, he went on: "Too little down here. Once he gets an idea, he never lets it go, he holds on. Obstinate. One Mea—stick to it. Goe, but I've made a mess of things, haven't it?" Underwood looked at him with contempt. "You've made a mess of your life," he said bitterly, "yet you've had some measure of happiness. You, at least, married the woman you love. Drunk on boast as you are, I envoy you. The woman I wanted married some one else, damn her!" Howard was so drowsy from the effects of the whisky that he was almost asleep. As he lay back on the sofa, he gurgled: "Say, old man; I didn't come here to listen to hard-luck stories. I came to tell one." In maudlin fashion he began to sing, "Oh, listen to my tale of woe," while Underwood sat glaring at him, wondering how he could put him out. As he reached the last verse his head began to nod. The words came thickly from his lips and he sank sleepily back among the soft divan milows. Just at that moment the telephone bell rang. Underwood quickly picked up the receiver. "Who's that?" he asked. As he heard the answer his face lit up and he replied eagerly: "Mm. Jeffries—you. I'll come down. No, tell her to come up." Hanging up the receiver, he hastily went over to the divan and shook Howard. "Howard, wake up! confound you! You've got to get out—there's somebody coming." He shook him roughly, but his old classmate made no attempt to move. "Quick, do you hear!" exclaimed Underwood impatiently. "Wake up—some one's coming." Howard sleepsily half opened his eyes. He had forgotten entirely where he was and believed he was on the train, for he answered: "Sure, I'm sleepy. Say—porter, make up my bed." make up by his exhausted, Underwood that about to pull him from the sack THIRD DEGREE ARTHUR HORNBLOW ILLUSTRATIONS BY RAY WALTERS Wilson Sank Sleepily Back Among the Soft Divan Pillows. by force, when there was a ring at the front door. Bending quickly over his companion, Underwook saw that he was fast asleep. There was no time to awaken him and get him out of the way, so quickly, he took a big screen and arranged it around the divan so that Howard could not be seen. Then he hurried to the front door and opened it. Alicia rose and, crossing carelessly inspected one tread on the wall, a study by Bouguerrean. "We need not go into the haughtily.

For a few moments Underwood was too much overcome by emotion to speak. Allicia brushed by in haughty silence, not deligning to look at him. All he heard was the soft r�ustle of her clinging silk gown as it swept along the floor. She was incensed with him, of course, but she had come. That was all he asked. She had come in time to save him. He would talk to her and explain everything and she would understand. She would help him in this crisis as she had in the past. Their long friendship, all these years of intimacy, could not and like this. There was still hope for him. The situation was not as desperate as he feared. He might yet avert the shameful end of the suicide. Advancing toward her, he said in a hoarse whisper: "Oh, this is good of you, you've come—this is the answer to my letter." Alicia ignored his extended hand and took a peek. Then, turning on him, she exclaimed indignantly: "The answer should be a horse-whip. How dare you send me such a message?" Drawing from her bag the letter received from him that evening she demanded: "What do you expect to gain by this threat?" "Don't be angry, Alicia." Underwood spoke soothingly, trying to conciliate her. Well he knew the seductive power of his voice. Often he had used it and not in vain, but to night it fell on cold, indifferent ears. "Don't call me by that name," she snapped. Underwood made no answer. He turned slightly paler and, folding his arms, just looked at her, in silence. There was an awkward pause. At last she said: "I hope you understand that everything's over between us. Our acquaintance is at an end." "My feelings toward you can never change," replied Underwood earnestly. "I love you—I shall always love you." Alicia gave a little shrug of her shoulders, expressive of utter indifference. "Love!" she exclaimed mockingly. "You love no one but yourself." Underwood advanced nearer to her and there was a tremor in his voice as he said: "You have no right to say that. You remember what we once were. Whose fault is it that I am where I am t today? When you broke our engagement and married old Jeffries to gratify your social ambition, you ruined my life. You didn't destroy my love—you couldn't kill that. You may forbid me everything—to see you—to speak to you—even in think of you, but I can never forget that you are the only woman I ever cared for. If you had married me, I might have been a dif ferent man. And now, just when I want you most, you deny me even your friendship. What have I done to deserve such treatment? Is it fair? Is it just?" Alliaa had listened with growing impatience. It was only with difficulty that she contained herself. Now she interrupted him hotly: "I broke my engagement with you because I found that you were deceiving me—just as you deceived others." "It's a lie!" broke in Underwood. "I may have trifled with others, but I never deceived you." --- Came as Pleasant Change THE COUNTER A NARRATIVE OF METROPOLITAN LIFE DEGREE ALLIN ORNBLOW RAY WALTER$ mong the Soft Divan Pillows. Alicia rose and, creating the room, carelessly inspected one of the pictures on the wall, a study of the nude by Bougueran. "We need not go into that," she said haughtily. "That is all ever now. I came to ask you what this letter—this threat—means. What do you expect to gain by taking your life unless I continue to be your friend? How can I be a friend to a man like you? You know what your friendship for a woman means. It means that you would drag her down to your own level and disgrace her as well as yourself. Thank God, my eyes are new opened to your true character. No self-repecting woman could afford to allow her name to be associated with yours. You are an incapable of disinterested friendship as you are of common honesty." Coldly she added: "I hope you quite understand that henceforth my house is closed to you. If we happen to meet in public, it must be as strangers." Underwood did not speak. Words seemed to fail him. His face was set and white. A nervous twitching about the mouth showed the terrible mental strain which the man was under. In the excitement he had forgotten about Howard's presence on the divan behind the screen. A listener might have detected the heavy breathing of the sleeper, but even Alice herself was too preoccupied to notice it. Underwood extended his arms pleadingly: "Alice—for the sake of and long snyl!" "Auld lang syne," she retorted. "I want to forget the part. The old memories are distasteful. My, only object in coming here to night-wake to make the situation plain to you and to ask you to promise me not to—carry out your threat to kill yourself. Why should you kill yourself? Only cowards do that. Because you are in trouble? That is in the goward's way out. Leave New York. Go where you are not known. You are still young. Begin life ever again, somewhere else." Advancing toward him, she went on: "If you will do this I will help you. I never want to see you again, but I'll try not to think of you unkindly. But you must promise me solemnly not to make any attempt against your life." "I promise nothing," muttered Underwood doggedly. "But you must," she insisted. "It would be a terrible crime, not only against yourself, but against others. You must give me your word." Underwood shook his head. "I promise nothing." Came as Plea Hand-Written Business Letter Appealed to the Man of Old-Fashioned Idea. "Yesterday," said an old-taught man, "I received a handwritten letter, the first I had received in a long time, and do you know I was much impressed by it? Much. "You know that for a long time now almost all business letters have been typewritten, distanced. With the vast multiplicity of letters to be written, we could no longer find time to write our letters by hand. That hand-written letter, that I got yesterday did please me. "There was a man who in answer to mine had sat down and actually written me a letter, and there was a some of personal attention in that that pleased me very much, and I think there might still be found profit in the handwritten letter. Many such letters that we used to get we couldn't read, or we deciphared only with much in --- A "But you must," persisted Alice. "I won't stir from here until I have your promise." He looked at her curiously. "If my life has no interest for you, why should you care?" he asked. why should you care? he answered. There was a note of scorn in his voice which aroused his wailer's wrath. Crumpling up his letter in her hand, she confronted him angry. "Shall I fall you why I care?" she cried. "Because you accuse me in this letter of being the cause of your death—I, who have been your friend in spite of your dishonesty. Oh! its despicable, contemptible! Above all, it's a lie—" Underwood shrugged his shoulders. Cynically he replied: "So it wasn't so much concern for he as for yourself that brought you here." Alicia's eyes flashed as she answered: "Yes, I wished to spare myself this indignity, the shame of being associated in any way with a suicide. I was afraid you meant what you said." "Afraid," interrupted Underwood bitterly, "that some of the senatorial might reach as far as the artocratic Mrs.贺杰丽, Be." Her face flushed with anger, Alissa paced up and down the room. The man's taints stung her to the quirk. In a way, she felt that he was right. She ought to have gambled his character long ago and had nothing to do with him. He seemed desperate enough to do anything, yet she doubled if he had the escape to kill himself. She thought she would try more conciliatory methods, so, stepping short, she said more gently: "You know my husband has suffered through the wristed marriage of his only son. You know how deeply we both feel this disgrace, and yet you would add—" Underwood launched modbusy. Why should I consider your husband's feeling? he哭ed. "He didn't consider mine when he married you." Suddenly bending forward, every nerve tense, he continued heartily: "Alicia, I tell you I'm desperate. I'm hemmed in on all sides by creditors. You know what your friendship—your patronage means? If you drop me now, your friends will fall—they're a lot of sheep led by you—and when my creditors hear of me they'll be down on me like a flask of wolves. I'm not able to make a settlement. Prison stares me in the face." Glanding around at the handsome furnishings, Alida replied carelessly: "I'm not responsible for your wrongdoing. I want to protect my friends. If they are a lot of sheep, as you say, that is precisely why I should warn them. They have implicit confidence in me. You have borrowed their money, cheated them at cards, stolen from them. Your acquaintance with me has given them the opportunity. But now I've found you cut. I refuse any longer to sacrifice my friends, my self-respect, my sense of decoray. Angrily she continued: "You thought you could bluff me. You've adopted thiseward way of forcing me to receive you against my will. Well, you've failed. I will not sanction your rebushing my friends. I will not allow you to sell them any more of your high-priced rubbish, or permit you to cheat them at cards." Underwood listened in silence. He stood motionless, watching her limbed face as she helped repose on his back. She was practically pigmenting his death sentence, but he could not help thinking how pretty she looked. When she had finished he said nothing, but going to his desk, he opened a small drawer and took out a revolver. Alice recalled, frightened. "What are you going to do?" she cried. Underwood smiled bitterly. Under your heartache I wouldn't do it while you are here. In spite of all you've said to me, I still think too much of you for that. Beginning the pistol in the driver, he asked: "Alice, if you desert me now, you'll be sorry to the day of your death." His visitor looked at him in silence. Then, contemptuously, she said: (TO BE CONTINUED) her; certainly the typewritten letter is a great convenience and comfort and still I do think that it would pay a business man conveniently to write a letter with his own hand.

LEETSDALE.PA The reception given by Tabernacle No. 41, Sewickley K. & D. of T., was a complete success. A large and very orderly crowd was in attendance and the speakers of the evening had a very appreciative audience. The addresses were highly instructive and entertaining and deserve more than passing notice, but space will not permit us to say all we would like to concerning them. Wilsons exhibition was at its very best, and the skilful and greatiment present certainly showed their approval of the very excellent music. Almost 290 were chared and the daughters went home weary but rejoicing.

THE POWER OF CHARACTER.§ The final struggle for the nomination of the various candidates who aspire to public office passed into history last Monday when the final count was reported, and a campaign of mud-slinging and personal attack has ended. High above the din and muddle of it all stands one man whose nomination was almost by acclimation, irrespective of faction, party or organization, and that man is Judge Marshall Brown, who secured the support of every character loving citizen of Allegheny county. It can not be said that he was the candidate of any man or faction, but the candidate of the people at large who, after all, demonstrated that they are not oblivious of their duty when character and true manliness demand their attention and support. Of all the candidates whose names were crowded upon the ballot the name of this one man stood out distinctly free from any possibility of confusion. There was no need ofcirculars and posters to acquaint the public with the name and character of this man. His life has been one continuous placard, posted not upon highways, but engraved upon the minds and hearts of every citizen of the county. Can a better argument be presented in the interest of any man than the life he has lived? Out of respect to the principles for which his life has always stood, not a faction dared to deny him support. His nomination is not the result of any campaign waged in his behalf, nor money expended in introducing him to his fellow-citizens. low citizens, but the inevitable result which must always follow in the wake of a life as pronounced as that of Judge Marshall Brown. THE NINE The nomination of the nine councilmen adds further proof of the long standing dictum that the upleague know what they want. Factions are more serious to stop the tide of public sentiment, once it has been set in motion by the proper force. The men nominated are capable in every way to give to the city the kind of administration it stands sorely in need of at this juncture, and it is the hope of the Courier that these men will not grow weary of their task when confronted with the duties incident to their important office. We The first case in the Coastville lynching has been tried and the defendant acquitted by the jury. Could any one imagine a conviction by a jury of the very county in which the crime took place? We repeat: It is one thing to arrest, it is another to bring to trial another to convict, and still another to execute. There is yet a safe margin between the lynchers and the gallows. Justice Ghan, H. Hughes spent weeks in the City of Washington trying to find a included and quiet spot upon which to locate his mansion. He found it and proceeded to erect a costly dwelling. He awakens to his horror to find that fists have been erected right in his very doors, and Negro purchasers quietly installed. To the Justice this must be annoying; but he has one consolation, he finds himself surrounded by a boat of Republicans, and he will have no trouble carrying his district for the party. We note with pride that the Amsterdam News is rapidly taking its place in the journalistic field. The sentiment of the organ has the right ring, and we hope the News is with us to stay.

Make it a point when any man is under discussion to say something else about him or to keep still. There always something mean and cowardly in a criticism made upon an abuser person.

Recently, when there was a more of less chaotic condition existing in the administration of the New York police department, two "old bad" police cops taken were discussing the new order of things.

There is an old age of Thurson Karimara which shows that long after Christianity was introduced into the north it was the practice to bury the dead in, unhallowed ground on the land where they died, and that a stone was set up over the grave. "When the priest afterward came," says the sage, "the stake was pulled up and holy water was poured into the hole, and they sang over the body, even though it was long afterward." Some of us might like to believe that this early Christian custom may have given rise to burial on even roads—the plains hasted of placing portals under the shadow of the cross. Creat.

Browne: Many hearts in the Sewickley valley are batting the dawn of the Sabbath morn, with expectancy unequaled, hoping for sunshine—a gift of God's goodness, for that is the day when the corner stone of the new Matthew M. W. Killian church will be there. There were other souls, who are now sleeping beneath the sed, who too, had looked forward to the realization of this grand promise—but still, there are many remaining, who will witness the scene with glad hearts. Other ministers have passed this way who gave the promise, but it was not for them who was to accomplish the work, the building of a new church for these people, assisted by the uniting efforts of his followers. Proud, we are, indeed, of the pastor, who has labored in this part of God's vineyard for the past six years, influencing a people who were in great need of such a leader. He himself to be a God learning, leader among men, working with a determination that sees no obstacle, going forward with a courage that knows no fall. And yet, we are not leaving the old church without a feeling of regret. For many times in the after years while standing in the new edifice singing, "Jesus, lover of my soul," or "Rock of ages cleft for me," thus thoughts will wander and reflect and through the mirror of memory we will see again, the little old white church on the corner, with its little brown pews, where we used to be led in our early childhood when our little minds first began to realize that There was a house of God. Move on. St. Mathew. move on. On, and on, down the river of time. We will lean on they breast. Until our time comes to rest. And we leave thee, for the eternal clime. Was our fathers and mothers who led us in Blessing. The hand—ere our feet knew to stray Teach me this way. The reception given last Thursday evening, the 28th by the Daughters of Tabor, was a grand success and large attended. The address by Dr. L. S. Lee of Pittsburgh, was highly instructive and enjoyed by the audience at the orchestra were over Wilson's orchestra gave some de- heightful music. Another social success given by the L. and H. club composed of popular young man of this valley at Lestalda, Px. on Thursday evening, the 5th Splendid attendance, the 6th Splendid attendance were time the features. The music by Prof. Beatty's orchestra was delightful. Truth In Old Saying. There is an old as the hill says that men who cannot manage their own finances are exactly the ones to look after these of a nation. And because it is too true is the reason why it is an old saying, irrespective as to what Dan or Bradstreet may say to the contrary. UNIONTOWN SPARKS AND FLASHES (By Clarence Johns.)

Must sell more papers for this amount of news.—(Manager.) Where He Was Safe. "So you have adopted a baby to raise?" we asked of our friend. "Well, it may turn out all right, but don't you think you are taking chances?" "Not a chance," he said, matter how many of the child have wives, wife can't any he in births any of them from my side of the house." - Life BLACK AND WHITE TWINS BORN OF NEGRO PARENTS ONE OF THE CHILDREN IS PURE WHITE WHILE THE OTHER IS JET BLACK—PHYSICIANS DEEPLY INTERESTED IN CABE. Philadelphia, Pa.—The medical fraternity is deeply interested in twins who are children of negro parents Marie Boner, aged 5 months and a few months, and their heart of Africa spouses were. On the other hand, Sallie Boner, likewise aged 5 months and a few days, and a twin sister to Marie, is much whiter than the average Caucasian baby. Doctors say that it is nothing more or less than the musual but well manifested atavism or manifestation of a racial strain that has been submerged for generations, and finally crops out unexpectedly. The case of Marie and Sallie is all the more atypical because of their being twined one black and the other white. The doctors declare that they have records of cases where a single baby has betrayed the submerged strain of another race, but that atavism has seldom manifested itself in this manner. Atavism is not peculiar to any race. The same freak of nature might develop in the offspring of white persons. Marie and Salle are at this moment snuggled side by side in a cot in the day camp of the Chestnut street recreation pier and are oblivious absolutely of the rudely curious visitors who find them a source of wonderment. Both are as healthy as children can be, and their chief recreation lies in chasing each other—like two cubes into a terrific tumult, finally falling into a terrific struggle for supremacy. Maybe race supremacy is the crux of their baby antagonism, and maybe it’s merely the joy of being on the top of the windswept pier away from the sordidness and fidelity of the streets and alleys. There are many wonderful conjectures about Marie and Salle. Their mother died when they were born, and as far as their father knows there may have been the blood of the white man in Mamma Boner’s veins. Friends of Mamma Boner that it is generational ago that the negro strain was broken. The grandparents of the twins came from Georgia. Sallie is absolutely white. She is not green nor yet blue. Neither is there the slightest indication of her Ethiopian parentage in her hair. Her lips are full, but not the thick, supernatural, sanguine lips of the negro. As a matter of fact, there are scores of Caucasians to be seen every day in Chestnut street whose lips are heavier and thicker. Her eyes are as blue as corn flowers, and so fair and delicate is her skin that the blue vitreus beneath can be traced along their forked, way for sphecs. Her nails are pink and delicately shaded just like those of any white baby. Her little nose is going to be squilline and daintly molded. It is of no advantage to describe Marie. Marie is in the typical plechianism, but just as clean and equally bright as her white stairs — her plechianism if there ever was one. To make the distinction all the more vivid, Marie's little baby legs are, bowed, that she would easily represent the letter O if stood on her minute feet. Sallie's are as straight as leans can be. Now the future of Marie and Sailie is no mean thing to contemplate. Some enterprising vaudeville man might reach the odd sister to do a "dister act." Already several well-known doctors are interested in the twins and are preparing to have the sisters develop. Both are pretty to a degree, and, while Sailie's hair now has brassette incisions, the nurses say that it is not unlikely that it will turn blonde. NEGROES TO LIBERIA NEGROES TO LIBERIA Denison, Texas—Because he be lives that under the present conditions it is impossible for the negro to prosper in southern Oklahoma since the recent race troubles there, Dovray Custer, a negro farmer, has been a leader and a band of fifty negroes in an expedition to colonize in Liberia. Custer says he has found negroes in Bryan county who are willing to go with him. A WARNING. Dr. Elmer Ellsworth Brown, the new chancellor of New York university, was talking about his desire for a larger and deeper study of the arts in American colleges. "The student, and Dr. Brown," the thesis is formed, and it will be a taste for fine and beautiful things, or it will be a taste for tasty and faint things. Without great care it will be a taste of the latter sort. Let us be carried by the anecdote of the little mathew boy. "This little boy was taken, one summer day, to the circus for the first time. "Well, dear, how did you like it!" his mother asked on his return. "His eyes widened, and he answered with earnest and grave enthusiasm: "Mamma, if you once went to the circus you'd never, never, consent to to go church again in all your life." —Exchange. GRAND OPERA—AND HASH. "Don't you ever enjoy a dish of bach without knowing what we do?" The National Negro Business League is an organization with a purpose, it is seriously at the job of stimulating the negro to an appreciation of the opportunities and the necessity of building a financial and commercial basis upon which he may build a still greater and longer life. This organization is the most influential organization extant. It touched more people than any other. It touched them more definitely and at the point where they are much in need of help. There is little of the National Negro Business League of which you could count myself. There is a great deal which everyone can present the opportunity to. W. H. Johnson, Jr. has more himself than anyone thoughtly to the development of an effortment than he has yet built to this movement. The league is worldwide and taken in its steps all of our people. Specifically, it is a business league; in fact, it is a mobile movement, dead in for the lifting of the open level of the race's life by reaching different reached classes of people and bringing them in touch with all that good in the race. The competition to the strongest, the most proud of all the organizations of life - most Numbers count. They please have and they always will - The last inscription of the league was largely inscribed. The number of persons coming up from Oklahoma to Little Rock, Ark, was a revelation. They succeed that the negro was the most capable on deciding any condition of one person or another, and that he would hold for himself. The business enterprise of the negroes from Bates and Muskogee, and other towns of Oklahoma was a marvel. And it is the most skeptical their success, highlighted in the speeches exhibition presented, use a genuine impression. Because of the success of the movement, the distinguished man that it is able to bring together, and because of the outstanding character of Dr. Washington, it commands large attention. The city of Little Rock and the state of Arkansas were all allied to the reception of the Nitrogen Negro Business League. Last May Little Rock had entertained the Confederate States soldier hand with the regiment of Little Rock to make the reception of the Negro Business League wait, not only of the hospitality of the negroes of that city and state, but of the whites as well. Governor Denegray of the state of Arkansas delivered with others an address of welcome, the most populous, broad, syngesthetic address ever heard from a southern citizen for some time. The governor sought his audience and he was given great ovation. He not only persuaded throughout the morning session, but he returned in the evening with a large number of friends and responded throughout the entire pacing and apparently enjoyed to overseeing the mastery address of Dr. Wesleyan. The governor was also the guest of peace and good will between the room, and he also delivered such a message at this time in Galveston, and was, as he later said, able to attempt to widen the audience between race, it were around that a gentleman wore the badge he most. Of course, the dominant personality of the buttress league moved in Dr. Washington. One of the leaders of the league is the president of peace-between the races. If it was nothing else, this fact would more than justify its existence. The contests were held in the Kempner theater, one of the elephant tiers of Mile High. One of the leaders of the league were solicitors for the welfare of the delegation, and everything that should be done was done for the comfort of the league. The program was a strong one. It was arranged by the correspondent secretary, Mr. Kenneth J. Fagus, a member of almost superhuman strength for continuous work. In this program he had picked out strategic ideas in all parts of the country as if he had them upon his finger-tips and knew them by notes. No man could all during the program and listen to the stories of successes in town-building, in building, in manufacturing and in various other things without the supervision that the degree is making good and will eventually come to his ears. The principal address during the session was delivered by him. He was pointed to by his ability to polish rural polish and promote later-rural growth in a basis for later-rural development, there is not a place in his program approach. Dr. Wendlinger, the man heading of the foundation for later-rural stimulation, is a master. He was given a position, which he rightly deserved, his great, unceasing, patient, persistent practical work for the race. "The news that she can prove that at the time the crime was committed her little girl was breathing her hair." "That proves an ally for her hair, but how about a burglar?" DANGER IN OVERBOOK "Jimmy," said Tammie, "what's the matter with you? You don't understand go in for any further conversation." "I'm怕你好硬骨菜。我好想 have a hard bone arm and I want to get a present." jimmy laughed. "Doctor not let me give you a knife; they won't give me a knife."

Elevates Pitcher's Box So That White Box Tweeters Could Get Ball Over Pists—Comiskey Lowe His. "Long ago, when the world was young," says Joe Candilion, once manager of Washington, "Charlie Comiskey and I were running rival teams in the old Western league, and what we didn't plan in the way of jobs and crickets upon each other wasn't worth putting in the Book of Frauds. I always figured the great-hearted Comiskey as my legitimate meat, and he even learned a few things on his own account, so that the score was kept fairly even as the days went by. "One time, when Commy's team was stained for a series on my grounds, a really great idea struck me. In those days there were no rules restricting the height of the pitching ground, and some awful elevations were constructed round the circuit. I resolved on making a hill such as no pitcher ever used before, and I made it, too. The ground-keeper at my park built up a mountain, and I trained my hurriers on that mountain every morning for four days. When Commy's crew arrived they were dumfounded to see that Mount Whitney of a pitching till, towering up above the diamond, and with my pitchers grinning down at them. But they kicked in vain; there was no rule to stop me, and the game began. For three days we had rich un with Commy's men. My pitchers sent the ball swooping downward with a speed and an angle of direction that they could hit, while Commy's pitches, unused to such an attitude, were helpless, hitting the batters on the feet and rebounding the ball from the turf for wild pitches. "We arrived in Comiskey's burg two weeks later, and I felt pretty sure that we had a clutch. No matter how the old Roman might elevate his pitching mound, he couldn't fool us, for my pitchers were all trained to the hill work, and could not be rattled w put to the bad, even if they were asked to throw from the summit of a steep. But when we got to Commy's field we let go one long, lingering yell of anguish and despair. We were tricked, beaten, film-fammed and stripped alive. Immediately after his return from my town, so it seems, Comiskey got busy with his plans for a dark resence. He had his groundkeeper dig a grave at the pitcher's slab—an excavation about up to the hips of the average map—and then he trained his curving force, day by day, to that most difficult of feats—throwing up pit. It is awful labor, but, of course, a man can learn to do it, and by the time we appeared in the vicinity they all had it down to perfection. Can you imagine the finish? "My pitchers, trained to throw downward from a mountain, were abruptly done. They couldn't get the ball anywhere near the batters and soon after man walked, while the few treble-roses that came over the plate were batted half a mile. For three days the carnage went on and we were trimmed 12 to 2, 11 to 2 and 17 to 8. Then Comiskey and I got together, agreed to restore our pitching slabs to their normal altitude and never again to try anything on each other." BALL AND BAT NOTES Roy Thomas is still on the pay roll of the Quakers. His services nowadays are confined to acting as pinch titter. Of the five players Cleveland gets from the Central league, two are hitting over 300, while another is close up to that mark. First Sassaman M. M. Kilcher of Petersburg, Va., who starred in the Virginia State league, has reported to Fred Clarke for a try-out. The St. Louis Browns have acquired a pitcher named Spencer from quinsy, M. The purchase has been delayed somewhat in announcement. Owners of the Decatur (Ala.) club of the Southeastern league deny the reports that their city will not be represented in the circuit next season. The announcement that James McAler might get a controlling interest in the Washington club was greeted with general approval over the American league circuit. Cincinnati asked walters on Larry McLeese and all clubs said "Sure." But Larry will remain a Red; it was just to show him that he's not the backbone of the national game. One of the records claimed by the Henderson team of the Kitty league for the season, was three consecutive shut-outs over Fulton. The scores were 1 to 0, 5 to 0 and 4 to 0. The Cleveland Club has obtained permission to withdraw the name of shortstop Henry Knapp from the list of players recalled by the Nape under optional agreement and he stays with New Orleans. Jimmy Whalen, who has been playing shortstop Chayenne, Wyo., but belongs to Hainabin, Mo., was wanted by the Salt Lake club, which planned to use him next year, but announcement is that Minneapolis has handed him. Walter Johnson, the National star pitcher, says his new teammate, Jay Cushion, is one of the most promising young twirlers in the big leagues today. In Johnson's opinion, Cushion will develop into a star as soon as he has more seasoning. The wonderful work of Babe Marquard, the Giants' southpaw, sentinel, and he is probably pitching better ball at present than any twirler has done in the National league since Matty's first day, and the phenomenal streak of Alexander the Great. YOUNGSTER'S. FAST BALL JUMPS A FOOT Grover Cleveland Alexander of Phillies. Manager Charles Doolin of the Phillies declares that he has the greatest young pitcher in the National league in the person of young Alexander, the recruit. This young Alexander is supposed to possess a niner assortment of deivers than any other youngster in the league. His fast one is the most deceptive, according to Manager Doolin, and the red-baired boss will take oath that this jumps anywhere from fourteen to fifteen inches. An exaggeration? The manager of the Phillies says it is an actual one of his youngest a foot. Alexander isn't an endurance order, ways had the red-baired pitcher who could a season. Last year Syracuse team of a league. He pitches league. Alexander is a y twenty-three years nern, his home be stands Manager John McGraw of New York Giants Says Managers Ruin Young Hurriers by Changing. The custom has grown upon managers to suddenly shift pitchers if they happen to be battled hard. For that reason ball teams are carrying more pitchers in comparison with the actual work that they do on a ball field than they ever did. If pitchers who happen to be hit hard were to be kept in the game in- NY Manager John McGraw. stead of being sent to the bench it might be that the team would rally as quickly behind him as it would behind a fresh pitcher, and it frequently has been demonstrated in baseball that a pitcher may be hit hard in one inning and after that hold a team to almost nothing. John McGraw is slow to change a pitcher who happens to be hit for the reason that he wants the pitcher to have every opportunity to help himself out of the trouble into which he has fallen. When he notes that a pitcher is not himself he is likely to change in a hurry, whether he is an old or a young player. There are days when the best pitcher are less effective than is usually the case when they are in the box. Before it was baseball etiquette to have almost as many pitchers on a team as there are other players combined the time was when a pitcher would be rapped for three or four runs in the rather early part of the game and yet stick through and win. Worth the Money. Barnay Dreyfus made no mistake in paying a large price for Pitcher Marry O'Toole. His victories so far prove this. says It is an actual fact that the fast one of his youngster jumps more than a foot. Alexander isn't exactly built on the endurance order, and yet he has always had the reputation of being a pitcher who could do a lot of work in a season. Last year he was with the Syracuse team of the New York State league. He pitched 46 games in that league. Alexander is a youngster, being but twenty-three years old. He is a westerner, his home being in St. Paul. Neb. He stands six feet two inches. Vice-President Sherman Causes "Arrest" of Newly Appointed American League Umpire. Umpire Harley Parker was the victim of a practical joke played on him by Vice-President Sherman when the White Sox were meeting the Senators recently in Washington. Parker was sitting in the lobby of the Driscoll hotel chatting with friends. An officer from the United States senate came into the hotel and began "looking them over." "Is there a man named Parker?" inquired the officer. "That's my name." replied the started baseball official. "Is it the umpire you want?" "You are the fellow I am looking for," replied the officer. "I have a warrant here for you." "Well, I guess there is nothing for me but to go with you," replied Parker. The officer of Ucle Sam marched the unassupled arbitrator up to the desk of Vice-President Sherman in the senate, the most august assemblage in the United States. "I guess I've got your man at last," said the officer as he introduced Umpire Parker to the vice-president of the United States. "I sent for you to inquire about that play/when Germany Schaefer went back to first after stealing second the other day," explained "Sunny Jim," and Parker drew a big sigh of relief. It was just like eating pie for Parker to explain the play and he did so to the satisfaction of all concerned. Sherman admitted the play bothered him more than any problem that had come up in the extra session of congress and that was going some. BAN PLACED ON BEAN BALL Expected There Will Be Fewer Players Hit in Southern League as Result of Ruling. There'll be fewer players "beamed" in the Southern league as a result of a recent ruling made by President Karynaugh. The Memphis News-Scientific tells of this order: "No more quick returns to the plate by pitchers in the Southern league—that is, not unless the umpire has his foot on the rubber. Judge Karynaugh, president of the league, characterizes these 'quick returns' as 'near balks' and he has instructed his umpires to put a stop of them. "Karynaugh was probably inducted to issue this order by one or two accidents that have occurred this season, notably that of Scott Walker, who is now permanently out of baseball as a result of being hit on the head by a 'quick return' by Bert Maxwell. There are several pitchers who specialize on the quick throw to the plate to catch the batsman off his guard, and among these are Maxwell and Hess, the two leading pitchers of the league. "I am not prepared to say that all of these "quick returns" are ballets, says Judge Kavanaugh in his order to the umpire, "but there has been considerable complaint against this practice. See that the pitcher is in his correct position in the box when he delivers the ball to the plate." Can't Stop Checkard. Refresher Time is having a dreadful fury counting out Jimmy Sheckard of the Cuba. For three seasons expectant fans have been looking for the fatal toll to start, but each year James beats up brighter, fresher and more capable than ever. Sheckard is still one of the best lead-off men in baseball. Some time back in baseball history Chicago handed Brooklyn four or five players for this star. Sheckard is still shaking more brightly than ever, while the man who went to Brooklyn have faded from sight for the most part. Fake Story. President Hedges of the St. Louis Browns says the story he has offered the management of the Browns to Harry Davis is a fake, evidently for the purpose of showcasing Manu Williams. Fake Story.

Clara Barton's Splendid Work. America owes its Red Cross almost entirely to one woman—Clara Barton. While reading in Europe, after her adnous work during the civil war, she learned of Mr. Durant, read his book, looked into the treaty, saw its application in the wars then pending, and came home determined that her own country should ratify the treaty and put it to good use. Said Miss Barton: "If we had adopted the Red Cross idea in the Civil war Andersonville, with its 10,000, would never have stained our record." But She Banged Ops Mr. Bibks (after an absence) "And see you shot a burglar here and unprotected. You are a brave little wren. What became of him?" Mr. Bibks "The other burglar carried him off." Mr. Bibks "Which other burglar?" Mr. Bibks "The one I almed at."-Puck Honolulu Must Be Inborn. "How can you make a person happy against his will?

The excess of arrivals over departures to the same last plan was 21,000, and a very large percentage of them were from Jamaica. The problem of labor supply has been solved in a natural way. There is little or no friction between the whites and blacks on the Cradle Zone. This immunity from racial clashes results from two clashes—the incomparable courtesy of the West Indian Negro and his full knowledge of his rights, especially if he be a subject of King George. These West Indian Negroes have been reared with a full consciousness of the possession of every right of a British subject, except the purely political privileges. The trouble-making politician has thus been eliminated from the equation in which he is such an important actor in the United States. But the Jamaican and the Barbarian Negroes know their rights and insist upon them. They are "British subjects," and their appeal to his majesty's coulor suffer no prejudice because of the color of their skins. This fact alone, however, would not keep down trouble if the Negroes were offensive. But, as a matter of fact they are anything else. Practically every one of them, man or woman, is the very pink of politeness. Ask one a question and the answer will be, "Oh, yea, sir, or" "Oh, no, sir, or if he has not understood, "Beg pardon sir." He would no more omit the honorific than would a Japanese maiden, addressing her father, forget to call him "honorable." The visitor to the canal finds the West Indians extremely interesting. About the railway stations, the post offices and other public places they may be studied at close range, and the study is well worth while. Without exception they are adepts in carrying things on their heads, and consequently they all have an erect carriage and noble bearing that is the very antithesis of the aloody and slovenly suffice of the American cotton field Negro. It is said that the first ambition of a West Indian Negro child is to learn to carry things on its head, in imitation of its parents. Frequently a Negro will be seen with nothing in either hand carrying an umbrella balanced horizontally on his head! Once in a while one may be seen to get a letter from the post office, place it on top of his head, weight it down with a stone and march off with it, without any apparent knowledge that he is executing a circus stunt. The West Indians are at their best on the first holiday after pay day. They all turn out in their best and brightest clothes with the sole and express purpose of enjoying life. Singing is the principal amusement, and these Negroes know how to sing. And then there is the railroad. The Negro travels for the sake of traveling, and on a holiday one might drink that every island in the Caribbean had turned out its entire population for a train ride. The Panama railroad finds its equipment taxed to the utmost on such occasions, as many as 1,200 "joy riders" crowding into a single train. Nearly every West Indian Negro here has a primary education, is acquainted with the rudiments of the three Res, and proud of his learning. But it usually stops there, and only the exceptional man has an ambition that will take him above his thatched but, his irregular family and his chickens. There are now about 40,000 West Indian Negroes on the Canal Zone. What will become of them when the work is done no predict. When the French lands of Negroes were left and their governments did to convey them back he possible that this will hail, although conditions never in be as bad as they were then come what may, the Negro has its full share in the construction o the canal. He has been well paid in money, and he deserves also to be remembered in the gratitude of the great American republic. MOTHER OF 27 CHILDREN MRS. LAURA KIRBY, 65 YEARS OLD, NOW A WIDOW, BECADE A BRIDE WHEN FIFTEEN YEARS OLD-DEPITE AGE ONE TAKES IN WASHING AND IS QUITE ACTIVE. Wilmington, Dal.-Mrs. Laura Kirby, colored, age 68 years, 1194 Widow street, is the mother of 27 children. No other mother in Wilmington can lay claim to such a record. Of her 27 children nine, four girls and five boys, are living. Only one. James Kirby, is now in this city. He is her first son, her first daughter being a twin sister to James. This mother of many children was a slave in the home of John Davis, at Centerville, Md. Just after the war, when she was 15 years of age, she was married to Louis Kirby. Mrs Kirby's first children were twins. They are both living. She gave birth to three more sets of twins, and then her children came singly, one each year, until there were twenty-seven in all. The mother of Mrs. Kirby, was also the mother of many children, there being twenty-two girls and one boy in her family. Mrs. Kirby's sister, Francis Stewart, who has been married for sixteen years, has never had a child. Although a large woman and a mother of twenty-seven children, Mrs. Kirby is a very active woman. She goes out to do washing early in the week, and takes washing at her home the last half of the week. She lived at Centerville until about nineteen years ago, when at the death of her husband she came to this city. An Early Award.

Next best to spontaneous cheerfulness is deliberate, intended and persistent cheer as which we can create, cultivate and so foster and cherish that after a few years the world will never suspect that it was not a hereditary gift—Helen Hunt Jackson. Just Like That "I shall not permit you," he declared, "to trample on my love with impunity." "I shall not do it" it also sancily replied, "for she had just been invited to go to dinner with the son of a Pittsburgh millionaire." "When I trample on your love I shall so it with my feet." Source of First Reason In fashion mail order there is always one firm and sweet temper, which controls without causing to distract. The meaning of all fine breeding is in the gift of appellation. A man who possesses every other title to our respect besides that of courtesy, is in danger of including them all. A male manner requires him or any obvious habile to admittent. He is more without dignity who should extinguish the dignity of behone. HOWARD UNIVERSITY Wilbur P. Thirideld, LL.D, President. Located in Capital of the Nation. Campus of over twenty acres.
