WOMEN JOIN IN THE CRUSADE Inspired by Vigorous Editorial In Afro- American Ledger, Former Minister Ernest Lyon Makes Emphatic Prot test Against Effort of State Com mittee to Organize the Colored Voters. By FRANKLIN P. JOHNSON. Baltimore.—The colored people of Maryland are working with might and main to defeat the Digges distranch- ing bills, which will be submitted to the electorate of the state, Nov. 7. The voters have been organized in the twenty-three counties and the city of Baltimore, and much enthusiasm has been shown. The Democrats have been trying to distranchise the col- EDITOR JOHN H. MURPHY. ored voters of the state for the past two years. Though two disfranchising amendments have been snowed under by the people within the past six years, the Democratic machine, through the operation of the Wilson ballot law, has thwarted 50,000 citizens of both races in the discharge of their duties as citizena. An auxiliary committee to the Republican state central committee has been organized with Dr. Ernest Lyon, former minister to Liberia, as chairman. This committee came into existence after a white man had been placed in charge of the work of organizing colored voters. The Afro-American Ledger entered vigorous editorial protests against a white man having charge of the work of stirring up the colored voters, and Dr. Lyon went to the leading spirits in the party and registered an emphatic protest. He was accompanied by Drs. W. A. C. Hughes and A. L. Gaines, both of whom heartily concurred in the objection of the diplomat. The result of the protest was that the party managers readily agreed with the suggestion that the race have charge of the campaign among the colored voters. Auxiliary headquarters were established in the home of Monumental lodge of Elks. 414 West Hoffman street, this city, and the battle for the retention of the right to vote inaugurated. An advisory committee, composed of 200 of the best known residents of the state, was appointed. At the first meeting of the committee $100 was raised to prosecute the fight, and now the amount raised totals $500. The committee is working hard for the election of the Republican gubernatorial candidate, Phillips Lee Goldsborough. Maryland has had only one Republican governor in fifty years. The women have also been very active in the fight for the retention of the right of suffrage and have held meetings in various churches here and in the counties. This work is in charge of Mrs. Harry S. Cumming, wife of the well known member of the city council. Among the prominent men associated with Dr. Lyon in the work are: Dr. W. A. C. Hughes, secretary of the committee; Rev. A. L. Gaines, treasurer; John H. Murphy, publisher of the Afro-American Ledger, chairman of the press committee; Hugh E. Macbeth, editor of the Baltimore Times; Councilman Harry S. Cumming. Rev. W. M. Alexander, president of the Maryland Suffrage league; John P. Forrester, Centerville. Md.; former Councilman H. M. St. Clair, Cambridge. Md.; Captain Edward H. Wilson, Upper Fairmount, Md.; W. Ashleie Hawkins, supreme chancellor of one wing of the Knights of Pythias; Warner T. McGuinn and others. EUCLID AVENUE CHURCH DISPLEASED; WISHES IGNORED BY BISHOP DERRICK At a Meeting Last Monday Night Officers of Church Asked For Conference With Presiding Elder J.T. Askew STATEMENT IS ISSUED LATER FORTUNE FOR COLORED PEOPLE Bush-Wilson Well Struck At Cannonsburg, Pa. Flowing At Rate of 200 Barrels a Day. At 11:30 o'clock last Friday fornoon surprised the owners and others by beginning to flow and this afternoon the well promises to be much the best of any yet drilled in the uptown district. As a result of the strike the hopes of the operators have been greatly buoyed, and it is now assured that the development will be carried eastward across Ridge avenue. While the drill tapped the pay streak in some of the other wells when the sand had been penetrated only a few feet, in the Bush-Wilson the drill pounded-22 feet into the sand before anything worth while was obtained. The drill was continued until it had reached a depth of 25 feet into the sand. Oil men are figuring on how the pay streak in the fifth sand extends. The great depth at which the oil was struck in the sand, 22 feet, would indicate that it has a decided slope toward the southeast. Hope of the well proving a paying one had practically been abandoned when what proved to be the pay streak was struck at 11:30 today. Drillers at the Bush-Wilson well climbed the derrick and placed there a flag and a broom, indicating that the well is the best producer in the Canonsburg pool. The claim is substantiated by the fact that during the 24 hours from 11:30 a.m. Friday to 11:30 a.m. Saturday the well poured 199 barrels of crude oil into the tank. This is at the rate of 8-78 barrels an hour. The drill was stopped yesterday when the fifth sand had been puckered twenty-five feet. Work on the erection of additional tankage was started today. When completed the total tankage will be 600 barrels. Several days will be required to fully determine just what the well will do, but the rate at which it is flowing has added stimulus to the local development, and a number of other wells will be started next week. The income from this well last week was at the rate of thirty dollars per day and as one of the owners is a widow with four children, it is a very fortunate for this widow. The other, Mrs. Wilson's good fortune was formerly Miss Mamie Bush, whose family is also well-known in Canonsburg. They are all members of the A. M. E. church at Canonsburg and, there in their good fortune, with them in their good fortune. NOTED BAPTIST EDUCATORS MEET Fayetteville, N. C.-The forty-fourth annual session of the Baptist Educational and Missionary convention of North Carolina, held in this city, was unprecedented in the annals of the convention, when the attendance and the effective scope of the deliberations of the body are considered. Each session of the convention was pregnant EUCLID AVENUE CHU WISHES IGNORED At a Meeting Last ficers of Church ence With Presid STATEMENT IS From all reports there seems to be much dissatisfaction upon the part of the officials of Euclid Avenue A. M. E. church to the action of Bishop Derrick in ignoring the petition of this church for a certain minister for next year to succeed Rev. C. J. Powell, and they have asked for a conference with the presiding elder. J. T. Askew. Why such poor judgment was exercised in the subject of much discussion and criticism. With the unpleasant memory of Bethel church troubles of a few years ago fresh in our minds, due to Bishop Derrick's action in disregarding the wishes of the members of Bethel church, who had petitioned him to turn their pastor for another year, which he notwithstanding this pastor's reports "excellent and everything seemed to be moving along with everything resulted in the serious splint in dear old Bethel, we had hoped that the good bishop would close his administration with peace and harmony. While Bethel is now gradually coming back to its own will, be years before it may fully recover from that dissension and split. It is hoped for the sake of the A. M. E. Church and flourishing condition of the Euclid Avenue church that the presiding elder may be able to settle amicably the question of the pastor for this church for next year, and that the church may be open for services this Sunday. Let us have peace and harmony in God's House. Since conflicting stories have gained circulation regarding the situation obtaining at present in the Euclid Avenue A. M. E. church, we the undersigned officers in the said church deem it proper to make the following statement: Knowing that the limitation of law in the A. M. E. church, relating to the Work, Integrity, Tact, Temperance, Prudence, Courage, Faith. GOVERNOR APPOINTS NEGRO REPRESENTATIVE Places Harry W. Bass On Commission to Arrange Emancipation Ce'ebration FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY Representative Harry W. Bass, the first colored man to become a member of the Pennsylvania Legislature, has been appointed by Governor John K. Tener as a member of the commission authorized by the recent legislature to provide for the exhibition, and celebration in Philadelphia to commemorate the fiftht anniversary of the emancipation proclamation. Others on the commission, among whom are two Pittsburgh, are as follows: Senators William E. Crow, Unlontown; Clarence Wolf, Philadelphia; David Wilbert, Pittsburgh; Representatives John F. Cox, Homestead; W. M. Ulerich, Latrobe; George E. Alter, Pittsburgh. Mr. Bass is from Philadelphia. The duty of the commission is to arrange for and conduct during the first week of September, 1913, in the city of Philadelphia, an exhibition and celebration to commemorate the fiftht anniversary of the emancipation proclamation. with selipul features for the turnaround of educational and missionary activities. The Layman movement in North Carolina was greatly accentuated by the wholesome papers by Col. James H. Young of Raleigh and Dr. A. M. Moore, treasurer of the North Carolina Mutual and Provident association of Durham, the greatest negro organization of its kind in the world. The reports of the officers, especially that of Dr. C. S. Brown, corresponding secretary of this convention, president of a successful institution at Winton, N. C., president of the Lott Carey Baptist Foreign Mission society convention and foremost in a number of movements for the uplift of the race, make excellent literature. "How to Ralese Mission Money," by Dr. C. S. Morris, Norfolk, Va., who recently held a revival having over 3,000 converts and making the traffic in liquor among negroes in Norfolk decrease to such an extent that questionable resorts thriving upon negro patrons suffered and a number were bankrupted, and another paper captioned "Our Missionaries—Their Fields and Their Needs," by Dr. W. M. Alexander of Baltimore, Md., were pertinent features of the session. The forthcoming colored ministers' conference under the auspices of the National, Religious Training School, Durham, to convene for one week beginning July 6, 1912, all ministers being entertained without cost in the "Bull City," was indorsed by the delegates. To make the ministry effective and become a potent factor in solving the problems of the Afro-American folk made the National Religious Training School the cynosure of the delegates of the convention. The auspicious opening of the school October 4, with nearly every room in the large dormitories takeu and students from Africa and India preparing for missionary work, when made known to hundreds of the delegates caused a hearty approbation of this great educational movement. pastorate of the Rev. C. J. Powell who served as faithfully and well as, as pastor during the past five years, made it necessary for the bishop to remove him and appoint his successor, the people of this church intimated to the bishop a few months ago their desire to have appointed to them as the successor to Dr. Powell a minister who was then serving a church in a nearby town. Our people were not only refused abruptly the appointment indicated, but they were not even permitted to express their desire by formal and appropriate petition. Smarting under a sense of humiliation the church officials decided at first to reject the bishop's appointment of the Rev. D. S. Bentley to this church. Dr. Powell, the former pastor with the church officials Wednesday evening, November 1, and demonstrated conclusively that no good purpose could be served by such a course as had been decided upon, that only innocent parties would be made to suffer, and consoled a reconsideration. The advice of Dr. Powell prevailed, and by unanimous vote it was decided that when Dr. D. S. Bentley presented himself to the Church Boards as pastor, he shall be received cordially and with all the respect and honor due to his years of effectual service and to the high moral, religious and official character he sustains in this community. Dr. Bentley will have charge of the services next Sunday. November 5. We are looking forward to and expecting an era of continued peace and prosperity within this church during the pastorate of the Rev. Dr. Bentley and for this we shall ever work and pay. (Signed.)

PITTSBURGH CONFERENCE A. M. E. CHURCH SUSPENDS Rev. R. French Hurley Leaves Rev. M. S. Jones Without Appointment. Report Goes Way Ahead. BISHOP DERRICK COMMENDED THE APPOINTMENTS The forty-fourth annual session of the Pittsburgh A. M. E. conference was held in Payne Chapel A. M. E. church, Canaonsburg, Pa., October 25-28, inclusive. The Rt. Rev. W. B. Derrick, D. D., of Flushing, N. Y., presided. Preliminary exercises were conducted by Rev. Carter Wright, one of the veterans of the conference. He was assisted by others. The holy communion was administered by the bishop and presiding elders, Drs. W. H. H. Butler, D. S. Bentley and R. H. Bumry. Rev. C. J. Powell, D. D., was elected secretary-in-chief, and he appointed Revs. P. J. Blackburn and H. G. Payne assistants. Bishop Derrick delivered a short but interesting address in which he recounted the work PAYNE A. M. E. CHURC E. CHURCH, CANN PAYNE A. M. E. CHURCH, CANNONSBURG, PA. done by the faithful ministers and their people during the quadrennial. He was happy to note the healthy condition of the work throughout the Pittsburgh conference and the splendid manner in which the general interest of the convention had been looked for. The conference elected Rev. W. B. Anderson, D. D., reporter to the Christian Recorder in Philadelphia and the Pittsburgh Courier, after which the conference got down to business in earnest hearing reports. Although Bethel church, Wryle avenue, had been hit a severe blow by the conduct of Rev. R. French Hurley, her pastor, against whom serious charges were made by wife the Rev. P. A. Scott, D. D., who succeeded him during the interval of the conference brought up $204 dollar money, and money for other connective claims which shows the loyalty of the members of this much abused church. St. James, Euclid avenue, Rev. C. J. Powell, D. D., pastor, Brown Chapel, North Side, Rev. R. H. Morrison, D. D., pastor; St. Paul, South Side, Rev. G. W. Williams, pastor; Allen Chapel, North Side, Rev. E. Bazier, pastor. All came to the conference holding their own. The same was true of Uniontown, which went ahead last year. Washington Rev. Dr. Askew, pastor; Canonsburg, Rev. C. A. McGee, pastor; Braddock, Rev. J. E. Morris, D. D., pastor; Williamsport, Rev. N. D. Tempel, D. D. 1930 1930 THE MAYOR OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK REV. C. A. McGEE Pastor Payne A. M. E. C A. M. E. Church, Can Pastor Payne A. M. E. Church, Cannonsburg, Pa. pastor: -Scranton, Rev. George T. Smith, pastor, all of the smaller charges came up strong. The dollar money almost reached the $3,000 mark. There seemed to have been a decrease in conversions all over the conference, which was said not to be the fault of the pastors who had labored hard for a spiritual awakening, but the season, it seems, had not come. The case of Rev. R. French Hurly brought by his wife was sent before the judiciary committee where it was thoroughly aired. At the conclusion Rev. Mr. Hurly was found guilty. The report was made to the conference and the conference promptly suspended him from active service and from preaching. Rev. M. S. Jones of Clearfield, Pa., H, CANNONSBURG, PA. who had maliciously slandered Rev. Dr. and Mrs. M. A. Dyer of Brownsville, was left without an appointment. Ret. Jones acknowledged that he was guilty in a written statement in his own handwriting hence the bishop would not give him an appointment, but left him in the hands of the presiding elder of his district for trial before a committee some time during the year. The action of the bishop in this case met with the highest approval of the conference. Rev. I. B. Till, D. D., was allowed to withdraw from the conference and ministry, but he joined the church again before the conference adjourned. Conference Sabbath. The Sabbath day, known as Conference Sabbath, was an ideal day, old Sol came out in all his spendor and beauty; there was not a speck of cloud to be seen any where. There must have been from four to five thousand people on the ground during the day. The pastors of the leading white churches extended the courtesies of their pulpits to members of the conference. 11 a. m. Bishop W. B. Derrick, D. D., preached the ordination sermon to the deacons and elders at Payne A. M. E. church. The writer preached at the same hour at the First M. E. church (white). Rev. Dr. Woodson, dean of Payne Theological Seminary, Wilberforce, occupied the pulpit at the Presbyterian church, and Rev. P. A. Scott ```markdown ``` hurch, Cannonsburg, Pa. preached at Chartiers Presbyterian church. The conference came to a close Sunday night, after listening to a sermon by Rev. P. J. Blackburn to meet next year in St. James' A. M. E. church, Euclid avenue, Pittsburgh. The appointments are as follows made by Bishop Derrick: East Pittsburgh district: Appointments. T. J.

The conference passed strong resolutions in commandment of Bishop W. B. Derrick for his successful administration for the past eight years, praying God's blessings upon him wherever his lot may fall. Rev. C. A. McGee and the people of Carionsburg deserve the highest praise for the splendid manner in which entertained the conference. Rev. W. S. Lowry, D.

The forty-fourth session of the Pittsburgh conference passes into history, leaving benedictions upon the church. AN HONOR TO HIS RACE H. C. Smith Delegate to Ohio Constitutional Convention. Over 2,000 signatures of voters have been secured indorsing the candidacy of the Hon. Harry O. Smith of Cleveland, O., as delegate to the state constitutional convention to be held in 1912. Realising the necessity of having a member of the race in such an important convention, about fifty of the colored voters of Cleveland volunteered to secure the proper number of signatures to nominate Mr. Smith for the position. They had but a short time in which to accomplish the task, but they went about it with a determination to succeed. The signatures were segured from among both colored and white citizens. In speaking of the phenomenal success of this voluntary movement to nominate Mr. Smith one of the canvassers for signatures said: "We did not even have to ask or urge the men to do the work. As a matter of fact, we who were at the head of the movement did not think the necessary signatures could be got in so short a time. The result was an agreeable surprise, which seldom falls to the lot of an individual without some effort on his part." Distranchishment has grown in the south until nearly every state in that section of the country has distranchised its Afro-American voters. The race needs an able and experienced statesman of its own, such as we find in the Hon. Harry C. Smith, to champion its cause. We are taking time by the forelock Color prejudice should not have any influence with those who make the laws by which all citizens of the United States are to be governed. Mr. Smith has served three terms as a member of the Ohio legislature. FIVE CENTS A COPY. One of First Institutions of Learning Managed by the Freedman Aid Society to Be Pleased Under Management of Afro-Americans Highly Regarded by State Board of Education. Marshall, Tex. In a peculiar way the work of Wiley university, an institution of learning maintained by the Methodist Episcopal church for the training of Negro youth, is striking at the root of racial elevation in the south. The training given the young men and women who attend this well known institution is of the gilt edge variety, and its graduates are to be found in every walk of life. It was one of the first institutions managed by the Breeders Aid society of the Methodist Episcopal church to be placed solely under the management of Negroes, and the wisdom with which Dr. M. W. Dogue has managed and controlled its affairs has proved that the experiment was more than a satisfactory one. The success of Wiley graduates disposes of the criticism that most all the educated Negroes go north, for in Texas, Arkansas and Louisiana are any number of its graduates teaching school, preaching the gospel, practicing the professions and making successes out of their business ventures. It's academic, collegiate, industrial, and above all, great stress is laid upon the moral and religious training of the boys and girls. It is one of the few schools where to a large extent the students are self governing. The Y. M. O. A. exercises a silent influence upon the boys moral and physical life. In its work, which is more than ordinarily thorough, it is one of the only two schools in the country whose diplomas are recognized by the state board of education. The faculty for this year comes up to the standard of former years and with a few exceptions, stands as that of the previous year. As an example of the thoroughness of its work, one would have only to point to the act WILLIAM H. DONN cess of many of the men who have won their spurs. In such a list, taken at random, we find as principal of schools H. B. Pemberton, Marshall, Tex.; T. J. Douglass, Hubbard City, Tex.; T. B. Mitchell, Kendleton, Tex.; William D. Daniels, Longview, Tex.; A. M. Salome, Stampa, Ark.; T. H. C. Compton, Junction City, Ark.; T. H. Roberti, Maidstone, La.; L. J. B. Fox, Fort Jesup, La. Asheads of college departments we have S. B. Red, history, Wiley university; R. E. Brown, science, Wiley university; A. M. D. Lalgrum, mathematics, Texas college, Tex.; J. W. Friston, Sam Houston college, Austin, Tex. Wiley university stands not only for the higher education of the Negro, but also for thorough training in the industry. Both are regarded not only as important, but in many respects absolutely necessary for fitting members of the race for higher usefulness. In many a Wiley graduate the two are combined. It is therefore not unusual to see a young man who has taken the full college course having also a trade which he has mastered in the industrial department. One young man who recently graduated from the college department helped build the schoolhouse in the community where he is engaged in training his people. Another young man who graduated with honors from the college department took at the same time the highest honors in the department of electrical engineering and is now superintendent of the electric lighting department of an entire city. More and more schools like Wiky show the possibilities of the Negro teca. Leaving out the palmshaking care of the teachers and the sacrifices of President Degus and his good wif, one is compelled to admit that a great future awaits this inspiration when the fact is known that within the past few years the emperors in the Texas conference have raised for Wiky university more than $10,000 and that within the last year they have resolutely set themselves to the task of raising an endowment fund of $100,000. But she also is to be added a contribution of $15,000 for the erection of the new dormitory for boys. BUTLER, PA Rev.

Howard, James banker's son, under the evil influence of Robert Underwood, a fellow-student at Yale, leads a life of disbelief in the people who died in prison, and is discovered by his father. He tries to get work and talk. A former college churchman, Richard E. Jones, was born in 1840, and is now the second. Robert Underwood, who has been re-developed by H. H. H. H. and has been re-developed by H. H. H. and has been engaged in college plays, and had once been engaged in the Ailica. Howard's stepmother, has a part of the Ailica. The Ailica was the first to go to the Ailica in 1840, and it was the only one of the men. Underwood, taking advantage of his intimacy with Mrs. Jeffrey, Jr., becomes a sort of social highwayman. He was born in 1840, and has been born in the home. Alofa receives a note from Underwood, threatening to sell the house. For whom he has been holding the committee for the meeting, and an accounting. He cannot make good. Howard Leffries calls in an interiorized condition. He is a man who is the first to go to the lait by the latter that he is in debt up to his eyes. Howard drinks himself into a mandarin condile, and goes to also. Underwood draws a screen around the dranken sleeper. Alicia enters. The demands a protein for him to be in the most of his life, without to the disgrace that would attach to herself. Underwood refuses to promise unless she will not do so. Underwood kills himself. The report of the pheasant awakens Howard. He stumbles over the death of the�. He attempts to find the death of the� to be a problem. He attempts to flee and is met by Underwood's valet. Howard is turned over to the police. Capt. Hintz notorious for his notorious smothered get-up Howard through the third degree. CHAPTER X.—Continued. AnnieULE timidly on a chair in the background and the captain turned again to the doctor. "What's that you were saying, doctor?" "You tell me the man confessed?" Crossing the room to where Howard sat, Dr. Bernstein looked closely at him. Apparently the prisoner was asleep. His eyes were closed and his head dropped forward on his chest. He was ghastly pale. The captain grinned. "Yes, sir, confessed—in the presence of three witnesses. Eb, sergant?" "Yes, sir," replied Maloney. "You heard him, too, didn't you, Delaney?" "Yes, captain." Squaring his huge shoulders, the captain said with a self-satisfied chuckle: "It took us five hours to get him to own up, but we got it out of him at last." The doctor was still busy with his examination. "He seems to be asleep. Worn out, I guess. Five hours, yes—that's your method, captain." Shaking his head, he went on: "I don't believe in these all-night examinations and your 'third degree' mental torture." It is barbarous. When a man is nervous and frightened his brain gets so numbed at the end of two or three hours' questioning on the same subject that he's liable to say anything, or even believe anything. Of course, you know, captain, that after a certain time the law of suggestion commences to operate—and—" The captain turned to his sergeant and laughed: The law of suggestion? Ha, ha! That's a good one! You know, doctor, them the theories of yours make a hit with college students and amateur professors, but they don't go with us. You can't make a man say 'yes' when he wants to say 'no.' Dr. Bernstein smiled. "I don't agree with you," he said. "You can make him say anything, or believe anything—or do anything if he is unable to resist your will." The captain burst into a hearty peal of laughter. "Ha, Ha. What's the use of shinfa? You've got him to rights. I tell you, doctor, no newspaper can say that my prefect ain't cleaned up. My record is a hundred convictions to one acquittal. I catch 'em with the goods when I go after 'em!" A faint smile hovered about the doctor's face. "I know your reputation," he said sarcastically. The captain thought the doctor wasattering him, so he rubbed his hands with satisfaction, as he replied: "That's right. I'm after results. None of them Payche themes for mine." Stridling over to the armchair where sat Howard, he laid a rough hand on his shoulder. "Hey, Jeffries, wake up!" Howard opened his eyes and stared stupidly about him. The captain took him by the collar of his coat. "Come—stand up! Brace up now!" Turning to Sergeant Maloney, he added, "Take him over to the station. Write out that confession and make him sign it before breakfast. I'll be right over." Howard struggled to his feet and Maloney helped him arrange his collar and tie. Officer Delaney clapped his hat on his head. Dr. Bernstein turned to go. "Good morning, captain. I'll make out my report." Dr. Bernstein disappeared and Capt Clinton turned to look at Annie, who had been waking patiently in the background. Her angulsh on seeing Howard's addition was unspeakable. It was only with difficulty that she restrained herself from crying out and rushing to his side. But these stern, unarmed men intimidated her. It seemed to her that Howard was on trust—a prince—perhaps his life was in danger. What could he have done? Of course, he was innocent, whatever the charge was. He wouldn't harm a fly. She was sure of that. But every one looked no grave, and there was a blunt gathered in front of the stifle when she came out. She thought The NARRATIVE OF METROPOLITAN LIFE THIRD DEGREE BY CHARLES KLEIN AND ARTHUR HORNBLOW ILLUSTRATIONS BY RAY WALTERS THE BAR "Sitting There Crying Your Eyes Out Won't Do Him Any Good." she had heard the terrible word "murder," but surely there was some mistake. Seeing Capt. Clinton turn in her direction, she darted eagerly forward. "May, I speak to him, sir? He is my husband." "Not just now," replied the captain, not unkindly. "It's against the rules. Wait till we get him to the Tombs. You can see him all you want there." Annio's heart sank. Could she have heard aright? "The Tombs!" she faltered. "Is the charge so serious?" "Murder—that's all!" replied the captain laconically. Annie nearly swoomed. Had she not caught the back of a chair she would have fallen. The captain turned to Maloney and, in a low tone said: Annie looked staggered for a moment, but her faith in her husa was unshakeable. Almost hysterically she cried: "I don't believe it. I don't be it. You may have tortured him signing something. Everybody knows your methods, Capt. Clinton. thank God there is a law in United States which protects the innocent as well as punishes the g. I shall get the most abo lawyer defend him even if I have to sell self into slavery for the rest of life." "Bravo, little woman!" said the tain mockingly. "That's the we talk. I like your spunk, but be you go I'd like to ask you a few tlons. Sit down." He waved her to a chair and h opposite her. "Quick! Get him over to the station. We don't want any family scenes here." Manacled to Officer Delaney and escorted on the other side by Maloney. Howard made his way toward the door. Just as he received it he caught sight of his wife who, with tears streaming down her cheeks, was watching him as if in a dream. To her it seemed like some hideous nightmare from which both would soon awaken. Howard recognized her, yet seemed too dazed to wonder how she came there. He simply blurted out as he passed: "Something's happened, Annie, dear I—Underwood—I don't know know—" The policemen pushed him through the door, which closed behind him. CHAPTER XI. Unable to control herself any longer, Annie broke down completely and burst into tears. When the door opened and she saw her husband led away, pale and trembling, between those two burly policemen, it was as if all she cared for on earth had gone out of her life forever. Capt. Clinton laid his hand gently on her shoulder. With more sympathy in his face than was his custom to display, he said: "Now, little woman—tain't no kind of use carrying on like that! If you want to help your husband and get him out of his trouble you want to get busy. Sitting there crying your eyes out won't do him any good." Annie threw up her head. Her eyes were red, but they were dry-now. Her face was set and determined. The captain was right. Only foolish women weep and wall when misfortune knocks at their door. The right sort of women go bravely out and make a fight for liberty and honor. Howard was innocent. She was convinced of that no matter how black things looked against him. She would not leave a stone unturned till she had regained for him his liberty. With renewed hope in her heart and resolution in her face, she turned to confront the captain. "What has he done?" she demanded. "Killed his friend, Robert Underwood." He watched her face closely to see what effect his words would have on her. "Robert Underwood dead!" exclaimed Annie with more surprise than emotion. "Yes," said the captain eternally, "and your husband, Howard Jeffries, killed him." "That's not true! I'd never believe that," said Annie promptly. "He's made a full confession," went on the contain. "A confession!" she echoc unest- ly. "What do you mean?" "Just what I say. Your husband has made a full confession in the presence of witnesses, that he came here to Underwood's rooms to ask for money. They quarrelled. Your husband drew a pistol and shot him. He has signed a confession which will be presented to the magistrate this morning." ```markdown ``` Stand up for Convictions THE COUNTER NARRATIVE OF METROPOLITAN LIFE DEGREE CIN NBLOW WALTERS Out Won't Do Him Any Good." Annie looked staggered for a moment, but her faith in her husband was unshakeable. Almost hysterically she cried: "I don't believe it. I don't believe it. You may have tortured him into signing something. Everybody knows your methods, Capt. Clinton. But thank God there is a law in the United States which protects the innocent as well as punishes the guilty. I shall get the most able lawyers to defend him even if I have to sell myself into slavery for the rest of my life." "Bravo, little woman!" said the captain mockingly. "That's the way to talk. I like your spunk, but before you go I'd like to ask you a few questions. Sit down." He waved her to a chair and he sat opposite her. "Now, Mrs. Joffries," he began encouragingly, "tell me—did you ever hear your husband threaten Howard Underwood?" By this time Annie had recovered her self-possession. She knew that the beat way to help Howard was to keep cool and to say nothing which was likely to injure his cause. Boldly, therefore, she answered: "You've no right to ask me that question." The captain shifted uneasily in his seat. He knew she was within her legal right. He couldn't bully her into saying anything that would incriminate her husband. "I merely thought you would like to assist the authorities, to—" he stammered awkwardly. "To convict my husband," she said calmly. "Thank you, I understand my position." "You can't do him very much harm, you know," said the captain with affected jocularity. "He has confessed to the shooting." "I don't believe it," she said emphatically. Trying a different tack, he asked curiously: "Did you know Mr. Underwood?" Stand up for The World Has Little Respect for the Man Who Seemingly Has No Mind of His Own. There are many men who seem to have no convictions on any subject. If they have any they have no sign. They only smile and are silent. That is probably better than to be verbose and violent. Vanity of opinion is an bad as to have none at all. In a real simon-pure conviction, there are modesty and courage both. Truth is in the quiet voice, since it does not depend on valgibility or rant. But a real man will say his say when the time comes, not for controversy, for that is not profitable, but to show his hand and what he in. A man's personal influence is stronger than his argument, and he is false to the truth that is in him if he does not show that. We have great issues before us—moral, political, social—which every man should think about and understand, and be ready to take a stand upon, and take it. But there are many who don't do this, who are negative or cowardly and only smile or grin when one of these subjects is mentioned. They seem to think that to disagree with another is a great offense. It is an offense not to disagree if one really does, for if an error goes unchallenged, it is strength- She hesitated before replying, then indifferently she said: "Yes, I knew him at one time. He introduced me to my husband." "Where was that?" "In New Haven, Conn." "Up at the college, eh? How long have you known Mr. Underwood?" Annie looked at her inquisitor and said nothing. She wondered what he was driving at, what importance the question had to the case. Finally she said: "I met him once or twice up at New Haven, but I've never seen him since my marriage to Mr. Jeffries. My husband and he were not very good friends. That is." She stopped, realizing that she had made a mistake. How foolish she had been! The police, of course, were anxious to show that there was ill feeling between the two men. Her heart misgave her as she saw the look of satisfaction in the captain's face. "ah!" he exclaimed. "Not very good friends, eh? Is fact your husband didn't like him, did he?" "He didn't like him well enough to run after him," she replied hesitatingly. The captain now started off in another direction. "Was your husband ever jealous of Underwood?" By this time Annie had grown suspicious of every question. She was on her guard: "Jealous? What do you mean? No, he was not jealous. There was never any reason. I refuse to answer any more questions." The captain rose and began to pace the floor. "There's one little thing more, Mira Jeffries, and then you can go. You can help your husband by helping you. I want to put one more question to you and be careful to answer truthfully. Did you call at these rooms last night to see Mr. Underwood?" "I!" exclaimed Annie with mingled astonishment and indignation. "Of course not." "Sure!" demanded the captain, eyeing her narrowly. "Positive," said Annie firmly. "Positive," said Annie humly. The captain looked puzzled, "A woman called here last night to see him," he said thoughtfully, "and I thought that perhaps—" Interrupting himself, he went quickly to the door of the apartment and called to some one who was waiting in the corridor outside. A boy about 18 years of age, in the livery of an elevator attendant, entered the room. The captain pointed to Annie. "Is that the lady?" "The boy looked carefully, and then shook his head." "Don't think so—no, sir. The other lady was a great swell." "No, sir," replied the boy. "Ever since you asked me—" Annie arose and moved toward the door. She had no time to waste there. Every moment now was precious. She must get legal assistance at once. Turning to Capt. Clinton, she said: "If you've no further use for me, captain, I think I'll go." "Just one moment, Mrs. Jeffries," he said. The face of the elevator boy suddenly brightened up. "That's it," he said eagerly. "That's it—Jeffries. I think that was the name she gave, sir." "Who!" demanded the captain. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Convictions ened. When a man says such a thing is right and you think it isn't, say so, quietly and earnestly, and let it go at that.

And the fact that so many people of St. Louis and throughout the country think it worth, while to imitate "PORO" HAIR GROWER is the best proof of the merits of "Poro." We were the first to engage in the business of growing the hair regardless of its condition and the condition of the scalp, and in our work have used the preparation which is known as "Poro." This is made and sold exclusively by myself. I have the exclusive right to that name; and I, alone, know the secret of the composition that bears that name. From my treatment hundreds have received direct benefit. O'Reilly claims has always been that when the hair is cut as a result of the use of "Poro" hair, if only this the hair and scalp is kept clean. Most persons are constantly finding that is true. You cannot afford, by using more imitations, to risk not attaining the result you desire. give more limitations, to be sure that the name "Poro" is on every box; not genuine without it. If your hair is dry, harsh, brittle and falling out—use "Poro." It stone the falling and starts the hair to growing at once. St. Louis, Mo. MERCER, PA. (By Ethelda Norris Reed.)

In the November edition of the Crisis the editor undertakes to "establish and acclaim a day of Rest and Thankgiving in every Negro home and church and school on the last and thirtieth day of this month, and in the year of the freedom of the American slave the forty-seventh." The editor set forth five reasons why we should give thanks, and a careful reading and casual study of those reasons reveal the real reason in the mind of the editor for establishing and acclaiming a day of Rest and Thankgiving. We think genuine gratitude one of the highest virtues, and we confess that the Negro has much for which to be thankful; but we cannot endorse the reasons set forth by the Crisis for the reason they savour the same spirit and character as the prayer of the man who said: "I thank God that I am not as other men." Let us apply the test to the reasons given by the editor: First. "Let us thank God that we do not profess a religion of human brotherhood which we have not the moral courage to practice." The inference: there are people that do make such a profession, and do not practice it. These people, it may be presumed with safety, are the whites. The substance of the reason is, let us thank God that we are not like the whites. Again: "Let us, thank God that we are a poor people, toiling in the sweat of our faces for, daily bread." Is this genuine gratitude or sarcasm? We read further: "Heeding the thunder of Sinal: "Thou shalt not steal" from the widow and orphan and laborer that we may flaunt in jewels and motor cars." Inference: White people steal from widow and orphan and flaunt in jewels and motor ears, neither of which we do—thank God. Can this be said to be a reason for thanksgiving? Shall we set apart the thirtieth of the month to give thanks to God for such reasons? Could we hope to be heard by Him who knows no race, creed, color, nationality or class? We are opposed to setting aside a day for any such purpose, if the reasons for our gratitude must be those prescribed by the editor of the Crisis. If we have anything for which to thank God, let us approach Him as an humble, and truly grateful people; and not as critics of any other people. We are not concerned with how the white people serve God, but with our own service; and if we expect to gain favor in the sight of God by magnifying the evils of others instead of listening to some other thunder from Sinal and observing it, we shall some day cry and not be heard. We deg to suggest to the editor above quoted that if he wishes to set apart a day on which to compare his virtues or vices with his white brother with God as Arbiter, let him confine his operations to his own vine and fig tree. As for us and our house, we will engage in a genuine thanksgiving for the many good things we have enjoyed. irrespective of the practices of any man. Some one was unkind enough to have reported at the recent A. M. E. conference that certain editorial remarks appearing in the Courier last week, referring to Rev. P. J. Blackburn and Rev. C. J. Powell, were published at the instance and with the knowledge of the gentlemen concerning whom the editorial was written. 'We wish to state now and forever that we are not moved to favorable comment about any man either at his instance or for his money. When we give a man editorial mention, it is because of his merit and nothing more. If we were boosting men for money, the public would have seen an editorial comment on the very man who circulated the above report. Dr. Powell and Dr. Blackburn were as ignorant of what was said by the Courier and also that it would be said at that time as an infant; and if any one sought to influence the conference against these men believing them to have caused the comment, he is sadly in error and owes these men an apology. THE APPOINTMENTS The appointments made by Bishop Derrick at the recent conference are in keeping with expectations. Every one had looked for changes and they came as per schedule. Pittsburgh may congratulate itself upon the present situation. The men who will come to us are capable of making history for the church and a reputation for themselves. We rejoice to see Rev. Scott returned to Bethel where he has made wonderful progress. Bethel is destined to move on now as she had not moved since Dr. Townsend left her. The change in the Presiding Eldership meets with approval. Dr. T. J. Askew is known in this city as a man who does things, as the church at Washington testified. Dr. Anderson continues his progressive administration at Uniontown, while Dr. Bentley, with his ripened experience returns to the ranks at Euclid Avenue. Dr. Morris remains at Brown Chapel, of course. The departure of Dr. Powell and Dr. Blackburn was expected. Good men are scarce and Erie and Bellefont will soon show signs of advancement under the administration of their new leaders. And the church moves on. Governor Tener has appointed the Emancipation Committee, and we note with pride that Hon. Harry Bass, a Negro, and representative from Philadelphia county, is a member of that committee. We regret as much that one of the members of that committee could not be a Pittsburgh. It appears that we get little or no recognition from our governor, although he boasts of being a Pittsburgh. Some provision should have been made for us in this end of the State, even if we have no Bass in the State Legislature. The Chamber of Commerce overlooked the fact that the Negroes boast of some part in local navigation. We have our own Captain Posey, who has a prolonged experience in these parts. They might have issued at least one invitation. The parade was well supplied with Billy. Billy Taft and Billy Magee. Everybody yelled "Billy" without any specification. LOCAL NEWS Rev W. E.

OLD FASHIONED BARBER BEST Writer Objects Strenuously to the "Tonsorial Artist" With His Atrocious Clothes and Talk. Scarce a man living but at times drifts into dreaming and picturing what he might do if he had wealth. May—far too many!—aspire to something that may contribute to the sensational headlines. Here and there is one who merely inclines toward some modest benefaction. For our own part, suddenly feeding ourself rich, we should like to devote much of it to eliminating the "tonsorial artists" from the field of barberdom; separating the tares from the wheat as it were. The average "consozial artist" affects the most atrocious neckwear; dons a millionaire's vest with a millwright's trousers, and puts popular ideas of garb all at points. He talks glibly of scandal, race races and hair restorer and eventually drives many a man to whiskers who is perfectly sane and normal otherwise. There are too many of him! On the other hand the old fashioned "barser" knows his financial, mental and artistic limitations. He seldom feels better acquainted with you the second time over than he did the first. He assumes you know what you want better than he does and rarely forces his "extras." Mostly he is a good tradesman, cleanly and careful in his work. One of his stripe puts greater crimp in the safety razor business than all the "artists" combined. Bless him, there is not enough of him!—Buffalo News. Work and Worry. "Worry wears out more people than work does," said the ready made philosopher. "Of course it does," replied Mr. Growcher. "For the simple reason that so many of us would rather put in our time worrying about work than doing it." --- THE LOVE OF CHRIST A SERMON. If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ let him be Anathema Maranatha —I Corinthians 16:22. St. Paul possessed unbounded admiration and profound reverence, as well as sincerest love for our blessed Savior. His enthusiastic utterances and strong conceptions of Christ's power and wisdom, grace and glory, prompted him to declare that he wished to know nothing else but Jesus Christ. These sentiments were founded on the high ideas he had attained of Christ as the "Bon whom God hath appointed hdr of all things, by whom he also made the world; who, Being the brightness of his glory and the figure of his substance and upholding all things by the word of his power, making purgation of sins, sitteth on the right hand of the Majesty on High—hegd made so much better than the angels, as he hath inherited a more excellent name than they." He realised that through him "we have access through faith into this grace, wherein we stand, and glory in the hope of the glory of the sons of God." The Redeemer did and does deliver from the oppression and slavery of sin and iniquity; "for the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath delivered me from the law of sin and death." And he was profoundly conscious of how "he humbled himself, becoming obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. For which cause God also hath exalted him and hath given him a name which is above all names; that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow of those that are in heaven, on earth and under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that the Lord Jesus Christ is in the glory of God the Father." In all his career, in his labors and fastings, in his sorrows and joys, he was sustained by this one thought: "I have, therefore, glory in Christ Jesus toward God." The love which the apostle had for Christ is the love of appreciation, arising from the knowledge of the Savior's divine nature, the conviction of the saving power of his name, the sense of his gentle and lovable character, and the certainty of the hope which could be reposed in him for truth, grace and peace. The love of Christ must be the all-absorbing passion of our lives, as it was of St. Paul's: must be the prevailing sentiment of our souls. Our appreciation of him must surpass the esteem and reverence we hold for any other and all other things. We must recognise him as worthy of all the high and sublime eulogies which the apostle wrote of his nature, life and work. It is not difficult to see that the founder of the Christian religion has attained the first place in the hearts of myriads and the first place in the minds of many myriads more. He easily towers above all who have ever won the confidence of men, or who have achieved greatness on this earth. His character, his life, his works, the influence POINTED PARAGRAPHS. Two is company—unless they are husband and wife. A man may know his own mind and still not be very wise. The stars wait until the night falls before they begin to shoot. Rolling stones, like some other smooth propositions, gathers no moss. Good judgment is of little value if it is not used at the psychological moment. Go to the busy bee, thou busybody, and learn this lesson: Don't butt in or you may get stung. It may be more blessed to give than to receive, yet some people who live up to that theory go into the hands of a receiver—Chicago News. PRESENCE OF MIND There are symptoms of a panic in the theater, says Judge... A big man in the front row arises. "Sit down!" he roars. "There is no danger! Sit down!" The stampeding audience stops, turns and faces him. "Sit down!" he orders. The people obediently sat down. "I will go to the entrance and show you that there is no danger what ever," the big man says. He strolls along the aisle, reaches the exit and rushes out. "That is what I call presence of mind," he tells himself. "I never could have got out of there, if I hadn't stopped that panic." COAT ELABORATIONS Chiffon is the most favored fabric. Taffeta and satin are both in design. Long chiffon coats serve as dust coats. The short silk coats in black or colors over lingerie dresses are most valued for their 'dash and color. BUT NOT FOR HIMSELF. Old 'Un (sarcastically)—Then you don't believe in the benefit of work, I suppose? Young 'Un—Don't I, though? If the old guvnor hadn't worked like a horse all his life, I shouldn't have what I have now. Some brains are spoiled by spirits, others by plain water. The fellow who forgets an obligation remembers the slightest offense. he has exerted by his work, the influence he has exerted by his words and ideals on human conduct and in human affairs raise him to the very acme of honor, reverence and esteem. He has had no equal. The hold he has acquired over men's dearest affections and the inspiration he has furnished for the greatest sacrifices that they might be governed by the hopes he instilled are ever a source of wonder and admiration. Especially his unexamplied sympathy for mankind, the sweetest principles that come from him for the betterment and elevation of the poorest and lowest endear him to all. Napoleon the Great in his lonely retreat at St. Helena oft meditated on and reviewed the prominent characters of history, and as he paused to contemplate the perfect character and person of our Savior is said to have exclaimed: "Here, at last, is the one who made himself beloved by mankind!" These golden words express the conclusions of every serious writer and thinker of every age, and after all the discussions and doubts, study and reasoning, questioning and objecting, he remains "The Light of the World," and in the most perfect sense all men regard the Word made flesh as "the ideal man, the consummation and the crown of humanity, the manifestation of God." Deep strike thy roots, Q Heavenly vine Within our earthy soil, Most human, yet most divine, The flower, of man, and God. St. Paul anathematizes with the severest kind of condemnation those who do not entertain such a conception of Christ, because he knew that no other name is given to men whereby they may be saved, and because not otherwise can we live up to the best that can be presented to us or develop the best that can be found in us. It needs all that faith in Christ can work in us, and all that earnest love for him can prompt in us, to give us the self-control, self-knowledge and self-reverence which will enable us to reach high power of thought and action. No life is truly noble in all points which is not dominated by the spirit of Christ, and no man whose conduct is not leavened and whose surroundings are not affected by his teachings and counsels can ever find strength and perfection comparable to the Christian, or erect enduring peace on the ruins of every selfish interest. The rule of ourearing toward God and our fellow-man will spring from and rest on the attitude we preserve toward Christ. The observance of his commandments means much to a life that would be holy and to a heart that would be pure, and we will keep his commandments if we love him. Let everyone strive to deepen and perfect his sincere and solid appreciation of the living form of the flavor which has come to us from the centuries, winning the homage of men the world over in every age, and draw near him and offer the best and fullest affection of their souls. We shall not fail to experience supreme delight in the attainment of the most heavenly sentiments begotten of the consciousness of union with God. For "if any man love me, my Father will love him and we will come unto him and take him and take up our abode in him." HOPELE88 EITHER WAY. "Congratulate me!" cried the musical genius who had been sent to study in Europe. "Ja. I knew you'd be successvull Carl," answered his proud dad, tearfully, "but tell us for wy." "I have succeeded beyond our highest expectations. You will never guess. I have been appointed music teacher to the crown prince." The old father burst into tears. "Leb' whol, Karichen!' he sobbed "It liss honor, but ve shall neefer see you again. Id'ss der endt!" "But, why, father? It is the beginning. I shall gain honor and you shall share—" "No—ach, nein! You are lost, my son. Lisden, if you show dot you know less about music than der prince you are no goot, and you lose your chob, nicht war?" "Ja, naerluch, aber—" "And if you show dot you know more as he do, you get put in chall for lee majeste!" AN UNFINISHED JOB A patient entered a dentist's office the other day and, after showing a swollen cheek for admittance to the chair, was told that the 'tooth was "very bad" and that the nerve would need to be removed. The operation finished, the stranger placed his hat firmly on his head; leisurely drew on his gloves and requested that the account be charged. After he was gone the dentist turned to a friend who had been in the room and said: "Tom, I don't know that man. I am sorry the operation wasn't successful." "But it was successful," returned the other, astonished. "The man was feeling fine when he left here. Why wasn't it a success?" "I didn't extract all the nerve," responded the dentist—Philadelphia Times. FRENCH TOMATO SALAD. Take six ripe, sound tomatoes, wipe them and place them in boiling water for a minute; drain, peel, let them cool, quarter them (this should be done while they are in the salad bowl, so that the juice is not wasted), add a teaspoon of finely chopped chives; dress with oil and vinegar and serve. GAVE HER APPROVAL Tattered Tim—I've been trampin' four years, ms'am, an' it's all 'cause I heard the doctors recommended walkin' as the best exercise. Mrs. Prim—Well, the doctors are right. Walk along. When a man is too sure of a woman, believe her to be hideous and hideously uninteresting. Unhappy news reaches the ear somest—but any time is far too soon. THE COUNTRY FAMOUS SUFFRAGIST Early Struggles of Dr. Anna Shaw, Head of the Suffrage Association, Who Won Success Against Many Discouragements. Boston, Mass.—One of the ablest leaders connected with the woman suffrage movement in the United States is Dr. Anna Shaw, president of the National Suffrage association. She started for Albion college, in Michigan, with just $18 in her pocket. She had earned that $18 by teaching school at $1 a week, and after she had earned it she had to wait one year for the dog tax to be collected to get her pay. Dr. Shaw was born in England, like those other pioneers of the suffrage movement, the Blackwells. But her parents took her into Michigan 52 years ago, when she was eight, having stopped four years in Massachusetts on the way. They traveled days and days in an old-fashioned prairie schooner to reach their destination. Then they lived in a log cabin. The rabbin was papered with spare copies of Horace Greeley's paper, and Anna learned to read from the paper on the walls, beginning with the big letters in the advertisements and progressing to the editorials. When she got that far she could read almost anything, much to her father's disgust. Miss Shaw spent four years in college and another four in the theological and medical schools of Boston university. Her people were deeply opposed to the whole plan and told 1 DR. ANNA SHAW her they could do nothing whatever to help her. During that eight years she had only $91 that she did not earn. She lived in an attic without any fire—in a Boston winter. She studied in bed to keep warm, her breath making, frosty cloud up the air. She had not food enough to satisfy hunger. She had not clothes enough to keep warm. Her stockings showed through holes in her shoes. She supported herself throughout the entire course by preaching and lecturing. But so many places did not pay her anything that she could average only $3.50 a week. One day she was sitting on the stairs. She had sat down because she felt too wak to get to the top. A woman whom she knew slightly came along and asked her why she was sitting on the stairs. When she found out she went away and borrowed $91 from another woman and gave it to Miss Shaw with the proviso that she was never to know from whom it came. That was the only help she had through her course. She repaid the money after she was graduated and never knew who lent it. But about this time she acquired the warm friendship of Mrs. Persis Addy, a widow. During the final year of her course Mrs. Addy took her into her home, and though the student paid the same board she had been paying, she had for it the comforts of a good home and the devoted care of Mrs. Addy. Mrs. Addy had planned to go to Europe and take Miss Shaw with her as soon as the latter should have finished her course. She died just before commencement, but in her will left Miss Shaw $1,100 for the specified purpose of taking a European trip. When she was planning this journey Mrs. Addy's father said to her: "Now, you will spend that money and it will be gone forever. Instead of cash, let me give you two bonds worth $1,500. Then I will keep the bonds for friendship and lend you $1,500 on them. When you get to work you can repay me as convenient, and when it is all paid the bonds will be yours again." She did this, and having acquired a certain sentiment about the matter, has done the same ever since. She has left the bonds on deposit and let the interest accumulate, and they have paid the actual traveling expenses of her three trips to Europe. Miss Shaw took the medical course because during her theological course she did missionary work in Boston. She found/to use her own words, that she "had nothing the people wanted." They did not want either her theology or her gospel. They wanted help in their material lives. She took the medical course in order that she might give them free medical treatment. It was as a missionary doctor and preacher in the slums of Boston that Miss Shaw became convinced that there were certain defects in an all male government which called for political power in the hands of women. She had always believed in woman suffrage. Now she decided to work for it. She began to speak for the Massachusetts Suffrage association and from that grew her national work. Mixing Concrete. For piling concrete there has been invented a spade with long oval holes in the blade, through which the fine cement will slow and give the surface a fearful finish.

REID Modern Methods Protect the Helpless For nearly a quarter of a century I have waged an unequal contest for progress in public affairs, highest and rights to every man in this community, be he rich or poor, Jew or Gentile. Frequently single handed and alone I have fought for conviction's sake, at fearful financial cost to myself. All my projects for civic betterment have been of the practical, helpful kind that "tell" upon the lives of us all and that could not possibly injure anyone. In every battle, though frequently misunderstood, I have been sustained by faith, trust, virtue, true religion and the highest form of patriotism. In my recent attempt to bring about a great, but inexpensive movement beneficial to hundreds of thousands of our disheartened citizens, I discovered the exceptional possibilities for substantial good to the people lodged in the County Commissionership—if that office be exercised to its highest capacity, honesty and intelligently administered. and a non-partisan judiciary promotes faith of the people in the courts. There is no party issue involved in the election of a judge. That's why Republicans should vote for Ambraeese B. Reid, Keystone and Democratic nominee for judge of Common Pleas Court, No. 3. Ask your attorney who he is and what he stands for. A learned lawyer, a conscientious citizen and the making of a just jurist. A native Pennsylvanian, the son of a Civil War Veteran and a lawyer without corporation or political strings. He owes his nominations to no one but the people. With 32 years of legal experience he is qualified in every way to fill the duties of judge. AMONG THE CHURCHES BETHEL'S NEW PASTOR AND FAMILY REV. P. A. SCOTT. D. D.

Dr. Morris has been returned to Brown Chapel church. North Side. He will enter his seventh year as pastor of the old historical church, having secured five successful years and is survived three last years of special request of the members of the church.

Merle have been guests of Mr. and Mrs. William Smith while in Cancusburg, attending the conference. The members of the Violet club are seeking for their annual thank- sion and supper to be given to the Church church. The members are on sale. Bethel A. M. E. Church Bethel A. M. E. Church This congregation is greatly rejoicing over the reappointment of Rev. P. A. Scott to be its pastor for the new conference year. A little more than three months ago Dr. Scott was appointed to this charge to fill out the expired year of Dr. Hurley, and, though he found the church in a very disorganized state, and the congregation greatly discouraged and scattered, his careful management and impressive formals and wise counsel brought them together and gave them new hopes and in so short a time the congregations and collections are more than doubled at every service. The actual membership is steadily increasing, long standing debt builts rapidly paid off, and plans are now projected for a number of financial rallies in the near future with a view to clearing up the large interest arrearage, and the direction of the forty-two thousand dollar mortgage. One of the magnificent achievements of Rev. Scott's/few weeks work here, prior to the annual conference was the raising of two hundred and ten dollars for Dollar Money, one of the largest of such reports made by this church in recent years. Several hundred Pittsburgh people attended the conference in Canons- burg last Sunday and consequently there were no services at Bethel in the evening. The services next Sabbath will be appropriate to the beginning of the new conference year, and the pastor will preach both morning and evening, and after the morning sermon will administer the boy communion. The Young Ladies' rally on the tomah Sunday in October, was one of the most unique and delightful days of services ever enjoyed by this congregation. The Misses Estella Wells and Mary V. Turner were the managers of this great effort, and were assisted by nearly fifty other very accomplished young ladies. The proceeds of the day amounted to one hundred and fourteen dollars. This same company of ladies have arranged to give a grand sacred concert at this church one Sabbath evening in each month and some of the very finest talent in Greater Pittsburgh will be used on these great occasions. Plans are in preparation for a Young Men's Rally day in the near future, and it is expected that this will rival the recent successful effort of the young ladies. They should have the greatest encouragement from the general public. A large vested choir and a new pipe organ and orchestra are among the attractive features that are promised at this church in the near future. They will add greatly to the work of building up the church and entertaining the general public. AVERY MISSION NOTES The pastor's reception was held on the 26th of October. The Steward-cesses, assisted by the departments of the church welcomed Rev. Wakefield and wife to Avery for their fourth year. It was a grand display of gratitude. The ladies received credit for their effort. The pastor and his wife express their thanks to the good people of Avery. Rev. W. A. H. Pringle, D. E., held his first quarterly meeting at Avery on October 27 and quarterly meeting the 29th. Rev. Pringle made a good impression upon the congregation on his first visit. The young people, at Halloween party, presented Rev. Wakefield with a fine cake bedecked with candles, for his birthday. The rev. read responded with thanks. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Berry are all miles off fine girls at their home. Sick—Mrs. E. Kelly, Mrs. Mary Sinclair, and Mrs. Mary Howard.

THE NEGRO IN CHARLESTON Charleston, S. C., is one of the cities of the south where the negroes outnumber the whites. The population of the city is 65,000, of which 40,000 are colored people. There are a large number of colored churches with large membership, good buildings and well qualified pastors. In recent rallies held by some of these churches Emanuel A. M. E. church, Dr. N. B. Sterrett, pastor, raised $2,500; Mt Zion A. M. E. church, Dr. E. H. Colt, pastor, raised $1,800; the Plymouth Congregational church, Rev. A. L. DeMond, pastor, raised $1,100, and St. Luke A. M. E. church, Dr. P. J. Chavis, pastor, $700. There are several very successful physicians, dentists and lawyers. A colored hospital and nurse training school is meeting a great need of the people and fitting many young women for profitable employment. With the organization of a stock company composed of colored men, a five and ten-cent store has recently been opened on the main business street with colored girls as clerks, and is doing good business. There are 15 negro undertakers, two negro drug stores, two newspapers, several real estate dealers, a negro orphanage, many private schools and two negro insurance companies. Charleston has a large number of negro contractors, storekeepers, butchers and mechanics of all kinds. Negroes compose almost all the fishing squads, and in the phosphate factories the black man has the first place so far as labor is concerned. Some negroes are employed at the navy yard, in the custom house, and many colored railway mail clerks make their headquarters here. Mr. C. M. English has the government contract for transporting the malls to and from the trains to the post office. Charleston has colored letter carriers, colored policemen, colored firemen, two colored teachers in the public schools. The property owned by individual colored people amounts to many hundreds of thousands of dollars, a number of the churches are out of debt, and some fraternities, benevolent orders and labor organizations own their halls. One colored family, the Hollavays, now live on property owned by their kindred for 300 years. A CLERICAL PUN. On one occasion at Athy, where Canon Stavely, the English divine, was then stationed, he was visited by the archbishop, whom he induced to visit a new coffee house which had just been opened in the interests of temperance. Naturally the distinguished guest was served with a sample cup of coffee. He tasted it, while Canon Bastot and the manager waited in complacent expectancy of commendation. They were disappointed. The cup was hardly set aside by the bishop, who ejaculated, with prolonged and unmistakable emphasis: "A-bom-nable!" Than the manager suddenly remembered, "Oh, your grace," he explained, "a box of matches fell into the coffee tank this morning, and I did not thak it right to waste all the contents of it." "If your grace will come again," promised Canon Bagot, interposing quickly, "I faithfully promise you a matchless cup of coffee." LONGEST FLIGHT BY BIRDS. Perhaps the longest straightaway flight made by birds in their migrations is accomplished by some of the shore and water birds that nest in the islands of Bering sea and spend the winter at Hawaii and Fanning island, 2,200 miles away. Inasmuch as some of these birds live entirely on the shore and are probably unable to rest on the surface of the water, it is thought that they must accomplish the whole distance in a single flight. Yet, although there are no landmarks for them upon their long journey over a waste of waters, they make their way to their destination with the precision of a rifle shot.—New York Herald. MORTIFICATION WELL EARNED. An Englishman, alone with Richardson, the novelist, said to him, "I am happy to pay my respects to the author of 'Sir Charles Grandison,' for at Paris and at The Hague, and, in fact, at ever place I have visited, it is much admired." Richardson appeared not to notice the compliment, but when all the company were assembled addressed the gentleman with, "Sir, I think you were saying something about 'Sir Charles Grandison.'" "No, sir," he replied. "I do not remember ever to have heard it mentioned."—From Orvine's "Cyclopedia of Anecdotes." CHEESE IT. Do you know how to play "cheese it?" It is popular on the playgrounds because any number of boys can enter the contest. One has to "go it" and he takes the stick and stands with his back to the others, who are grouped at the far end of the yard. The boy with the stick thumps it upon the ground three times and then suddenly turns around to look at the others. If he can see anyone moving forward he names him and sends him back to the starting point. It is the object of the players to dash forward quickly while the catcher is not looking and to remain still when he turns around. Philadelphia Record. THE RULING PASSION Visitor—Everybody's going to church today. What's the reason? Citizen-It's just the "hope that springs eternal in the human breast."

Tate, who was appointed by the North Ohio conference to take charge of the Sheridan Avenue A. M. E. church, has begun his work as pastor and seems to be winning his way into the hearts of the people.

Hughes, principal of the Lincoln High school of Wheeling, deserves much credit for the interest manifested in the school. We believe that a man who has the interest of the race at heart as Prof. Hughes can do nothing else other than work for the interest of the school which he plainly showed last week when with the demonstrations of the schools of Wheeling in the great parade, appeared the industrial department of the Lincoln High school, which not only for its unique appearance, but from the fact he showed the Negroes to be the greatest race on the globe in considering that a little less than fifty years ago Negro school was unknown and today be may touch a demonstration as Prof. Hughes made last week we should never get through praising him. And the citizens of Wheeling believe and are proud to express the same that fortune smiled on them in being able to have Prof. Hughes as our principal. The Rev. and Mrs. Hogan, pastor of the St. Paul A. M. E. church of Bellevue, O. formerly of Dayton, have both arrived, and are settled in their new home and we all wish him God speed with the new work he is about to take up.

POETRY of and by Our People THE MOTHER. There is no height, no depth, that could set us part- Body of mine and soul of mine, heart of my heart. There is no hell so sunken, no heaven so high. That I could not come to you if I heard you cry. There is no sea, so deep, no mountain so steep. Where I could not seek you and find you and keep. Now you are round and soft, and sweet as a rose; Not a stain on my spotless one, white as the snow. If some day you come to me heavy with sin, I. your mother, would run to the door and let you in. I would wash you white again with my tears and grief. Body and mind and soul of mine, till you found relief. Though you had sinned all sins there are 'twist east and west. You should find my arms wide for you, your head on my breast. Child, if I were in heaven and you were in hell- Angels white as my spotless one stumbled and fell— I would leave the fields of God and Queen Janus feet. Straight to the heart of hell would go seeking my sweet. God, mayhap would turn him at sound of the door. "Who is it goes out from me, to come back no more?" Then the blessed Mary would say from her throne: "Son, 'tis a mother goes to hell, seeking her own. "Body of mine and soul of mine; borne of me— Thou who wert once little Jesus beside my knee— "It is so that mothers are made: Thou madest them so. KEEP A PULLIN'.

With their simple kindly ways: And I would like to have them around, me. All the balance of my days. In theouthside where in Summer, In the cotton and the mules. And in Wintertime the broad hearth, With its ever cheerful blaze. Not to make a brag of raising. But my mother is that kind; And the Lord need not forgive me If I ever seem to mind. That she is just plain old mother, And the old-fashioned ways. And the Lord can’t bless me richer, Than by lengthening her days. OPPORTUNITY Foolish is he who says that at his door I knock but once, a furtive moment stay. Fearing lest he shall hear, then hasta away. Glaim to escape him to return no more. Not so! I knock and wait and oer and oer Come back to summon him. Day after day I come to call the idler from his play; Or wake the dreamer with my vain up- roar. Out of a thousand, haply, now and then. On the he hears again and yet again, Will tardy rise, and open languidly; The rest, half-puzzled, half annoyed, return To play or sleep, nor seek nor wish to learn Who the untimely, clownish guest may be. -William H.

A fewer number of years ago industrial training was brought forcefully to our attentions. If we read correctly the signs of the times not many years hence the religious training in schools established for this especial purpose will be acclaimed everywhere a new panacea for our racial troubles. In founding his religious training school at Durham N. C., Dr. James E. Shepard seems to have originated a line of educational work that will take strong hold not alone on the negro people of America, but on the whites as well. It is a peculiar fact that a negro leader has thought out and popularized each new possible solution of the race problem, and each of these movements has been along educational lines. Dr. J. C. Price stirred the country on the idea of higher education; Dr. B. T. Washington so impressed his industrialism that the whites appropriated the idea for their own improvement; Dr. Shepard's idea is now being taken up by the whites and they are beginning to use it on a large scale for their own betterment, not leaving the negro altogether out of the movement, however. It is, then, a noteworthy fact that negroes have worked out almost independently the ideas for the development of their people, while the whites have furnished most of the "where-with-all" to put these plans into operation, themselves being influenced by the transaction. Much attention is being attracted just now to the American Interchurch college being established in Nashville, Tenn., to train individuals for carrying on religious work. The main college, for whites, will be affiliated with Vanderbilt university and Peabody college, while the colored department will be affiliated with the colored colleges of the city. The Interchurch college has a capitalization of $1,000,000. There will be raised $200,000 for the colored department, making the total endowment $1,200,000. A layman wonders if a movement of this kind means that the church is losing ground and must in this way be reinforced to be saved itself; or does it show, that the church has failed in fulfilling one of its missions? It has boasted of fitting workers for the Master's vineyard. Is this important feature of church work to be turned over to religious schools?—Southern Life Magazine. It is a source of deep regret to see wayfarers among the younger women of our city. To see so many of our young women parading the streets alone at night, darting in here and there bound for a good time must make thoughtful men and women stop and consider, what is to become of our future? Such actions are not restricted to a certain class, the ordinary girl whose home life and environment has not been the best, whose education and society circles has not been with the efficient, but this is often seen among the real "best girls" of our city. Some of them run the streets and are like passengers as if having no home, people or good associates. Just lately some of the girls of city were forced to pass the words, "We must drop her," because this girl was making herself too common, had given up the idea of living a clean, respectable, decent life, foraking possibly all chances of taking on the happiness of matrimony and bringing joy in the world with the beauties of home life. The Chronicle aims not to be a life preserver of those that are hidebound for destruction and immortality—with all hopes gone, but it suggests that the good club women of our city, individually for that matter, to use some influence in encouraging young girls to seek the right paths, to so conduct themselves that they may not fall and be lost by disipation and finally lost as a respectable member of decent and refined people. No race can rise higher than its women and it behooves us to look these conditions square in the face; not merely meditate, but to act with a definite purpose of uplifting. Men and women, let us save the wayfarer. Let us put emphasis on the men. Young men and old men for that matter can stop encouraging young women to be out at nights, to meet at certain places, such as winerooms, cafes and buffet houses. Our decent young men should think of their own sisters and the respect in which they should be held when they in turn invite young women to places that lead to drink and vice. With the wave over the city to stop graft and gambling, it might be opportune to start a wave to save the young women, stop the passengers and wayfarers in the streets and turn them in the direction of home life, decency and respectability.—Illinois Chronicle. Dr. E. H. Oliver, pastor of Warren Chapel M. E. church, Atlanta, Ga., sets aside one Sunday of each year as "Old Folks day," when the younger people do honor to the fathers and mothers in Israel for their past service and present counsel. This helps to keep the younger and older elements of the church in harmonious touch, and impresses upon the young people respect for old age. The bishop was one of the officials of his church who paid strict adherence to the doctrines of his church. He was a man of high moral character—a great reformer. Bishop Maliaulea was a true and intimate friend of Bishop Gilbert Haven. Bishop Gilbert Haven for years took great interest in the welfare of the negroes, especially in the southern states. Thus these two religious reformers walked side by side in the work of their blessed Master.—Christian Index. THE COURIER The season is upon us when the college and university throw open their doors to the young men and women of the race. Many are returning to devote another year to knowledge, while thousands for the first time will seek the ways of wisdom. The educational institutions in the south have done more for the negro people in forty years than educational institutions have done for any people before in an hundred years. As we count the seasons and mark the achievements of the people since the close of the Civil war, we marvel at the revolution by the books and a consecrated army of teachers. Everywhere in the south the preacher and the teacher ought to go among the people, pick their brightest youth and urge them to seek a school of training. In this way we can build up a leadership, not with respect only to certain relations sought to be established, but particularly with respect to scholarship, to science, to art and to the professions. Sight must not be lost of the preparation the great mass of people ought to have in the trades, in agriculture, particularly agriculture, and the household economy. To us it is encouraging to note that much of the silly debating that got into the life of the race ten or fifteen years ago about education, its need and kind, has passed out. What the negro needs is education; the kind he needs no man can establish. Booker Washington was never wiser than in his refusal to set metes and bounds for the training of colored men and women. His opinion is our opinion and the accepted rule of all who study with a serious mind the situation in the south. What is education? As many answers to this riddle as there are philosophers in the council we have had. But it is safe to say that education, whether the spirit or method of it gives the power to see two stars where we saw only one before, and makes two bolls of cotton to grow where only one grew before. Education, they tell us, means service, and he is not educated who does not serve his fellowman. That is true, but education means also individual emancipation, not only out of selfishness, but also out of poverty. It is a poor education that gives the man or the woman no power to lift himself up. Colored people can afford to disregard the warring ideas and opinions regarding education and insist upon the children getting hold of useful knowledge, that is, knowledge that will help us all forward to a wider life, and to a higher place in the higher life of the country. Any education that does this is the proper education. The education that does not do this is no education at all—Editorial: New York Age. Governor Northen in a recent address before the Evangelical Ministerial union of Atlanta holds that religion is the only remaining sufficient solution of the negro problem. This seems strange when one looks at it from the negro's standpoint. It would seem that the real problem is not of the negro's making but is a by-product of white prejudice. If religion is the solution then whose religion? The negro has religion enough to spare and the evidences of his passive submission are written on every page of his contact with white people. Clearly the governor means that the religion of the white people is defective insofar as it pertains to according the negro those rights and privileges which are guaranteed by the fundamental law of the land. We are at one with the governor that only religion can cure the evil, but how can we get at the people with this pure and undefiled brand of religion. True it is in the Bible, but the people have become so accustomed to having their thoughts made for them that possibly they would not understand such a raw truth even though it should be found in the Bible. It is plainly up to the white preacher to do some real plain talk to their congregations concerning the teachings of the Bible along this line. When brought to a test can one really depend upon the preacher to say the plain truth about the teachings of the Bible on the race question? We rather think not. The preacher prefers passages which are not discordant with the sympathies and prejudices of his hearers and really there is more solid dollars in that kind of preaching than any other. Why blame the poor preacher for being human? He is not really able to be a martyr. "Love ye one another." The elasticity of this friendly relation has been stretched to such an extent that it has been broken in two distinctive parts. The stronger end is alive and energetic and it preys upin the weak end most terrificly. It's a common occurrence to some of our leading preachers, teachers and business men preaching and trying to impress the man that is not a professional one or in business. But he with all his influence, wealth, etc., will turn his hand from one of the brothers of the weaker end, when he is in need, ye he has extortionally received his wealth from him. Treat your brother as yourself. If you will not help him let him alone. Don't pull him down—Pasture Plaindealer.

Indianapolis, Ind.-Six rooms in a small business block at North and California streets is the home of the largest colored men's branch of the Young Men's Christian association in the United States. From this small building the work among more than 400 members is conducted, although half that number cannot be crowded into the structure at one time. Despite the inadequacy of the building and equipment the members have organized debating, literary and glee clubs, gymnasium and basketball teams, a band and orchestra, while the boys have formed a club and organized a troop of boy scouts. Besides these organizations, several of the members meet in the small rooms each night and engage in checker, contests, the only other form of amusement open to them. During the last few years the building has become too small to accommodate the members, and whenever special programs have been arranged no announcements have been made beforehand, the officers knowing that the rooms would not hold all who would attend. Now the committee of management and leading colored business men of the city are considering a new Y. M. C. A. building which will not limit the colored men's branch in this city and which, they say, will offer unusual possibilities. Nine years ago the branch of the association was first organized for the colored men of Indianapolis. After two years of work it had only seventeen members. Since 1904, however, the association has grown until it now includes one out of every seventeen colored young men in the city. The growth has been so rapid during the last few years that every available place about the building has been taken, including the coal shed, which was made into a locker and shower bath room. The growing membership also demanded a gymnasium, and the largest room on the first floor was fitted up for the physical culture work and gymnasium classes. THE BROTHERHOOD OF MAN BISHOP SMITH'S. THEME Lowly Nazarine Never Boasted of Racial Superiority, He Says. Toronto.—Among the many able addresses delivered by delegates to the fourth ecumenical conference recently held in Toronto, the one delivered by Bishop C. S. Smith was fraught with a number of very salient points. The bishop's subject was "The Brotherhood of Man." Bishop Smith said in part as follows: I wish to speak of the spirit that should possess the propagandist of the Christian religion as he goes out among the non-Christian races. What is the Christ spirit? What is the Christ idea of the brotherhood of mankind? What is the commonwealth of mankind? If the propagandist of the Christian religion goes out among the non-Christian races asserting the spirit of race superiority he finds himself at once handicapped. And from my observation in foreign fields I am amazed at the successfully, that at least in many instances, there is too much exaltation of race superiority and too little exaltation of the life and spirit and purpose of the Lord Jesus Christ. In single utterance of the Master wherein he boasted of his racial lineage, wherein he emphasized or laid stress upon the mere incident of race superiority. I say "more incident" because there are four things for which no man can be exempted from the burden when he was born, where he was born and how he was born. I know that there is no lack of stressing the idea of the fatherhood of God and the sonhood of Christ, but there is a wonderful lacking of stressing the motherhood of God and the sonhood of black, yellow, red or brown men, but as men. New, I postulate that if the brotherhood of man is not one of the cardinal and fundamental teachings of the New Testament then the whole schism of the church is amendingly devoidable, the agony of Calvary the echo of a deceiving 'dream' and the reputed vicious death of Christ a mere fragment of the imagination. Jesus said: "If I be lifted up I will draw all men unto me." "All men unto one, even as I have loved you." "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." And unless the brotherhood of man is brought into realization here the apocalypse will happen. John saw a number that no man could number gathered together out of every tribe and tongue under heaven, and when the inquiry was made. Who are the white men, not black men, not yellow men, pet red men, not brown men—no, but "these are they who have come up through great tribulation and have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Leah."

About $34,500 of the amount needed has been secured. If all graduates and ex-students will help a little it will be long before the reminder of $11,500 will be in hand.

Dr. Frederik Van Eeden, the Dutch physician and author, can never lose sight of the injustice of fate that subjects the poor to tortures from which the rich are exempt. He tells the following bitter little anecdotes which occurred during his student days in Amsterdam. Once a poor man was brought in affected with a very strange and rare disease of the spine that caused him, by involuntary spasms of the legs, to jump and to continue hopping when he tried to stand on his legs. One professor wanted to show this to his students and be requested the patient to stand on his feet. The poor man looked at the crowd around and said with a pathetic, imploring look: "If the gentlemen will please not laugh." The professor promised they would be serious. And yet, when the man began to hop the "gentleman" reared. And I felt the tears coming to my eyes and my feet clench in my pockets.—The World's Work. 24TH SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1916 LEAD WITH NEW STYLES AND WINTER. PA AS TWO FLEAS!
