Pastor of Bathol African Methodist Episcopal Church, In Vicksburg Calia Attention to Principal Matters to Be Settled by the Various Conferences of the Denination. Vicksburg, Miss.-Now that the annual conference season is approaching interest in the forthcoming general conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church, which will be held in Topeka, Kan. In May of next year, is becoming widespread and of a general nature. In the Eighth Episcopal district, which comprises the four conferences in Mississippi and the two in Louisiana, there is a great amount of interest being manifested, occasioned by the early death of Bishop Edward W. Lampton, the only member of the episcopacy from this district. There are no pronounced candidates in the field now. The requisite, however, is the election of delegates from the several annual conferences to be held this year. Until that is settled there will be no telling how the forces from this important southern disease will be lined up at Topeka. As a foreword, however, Dr J. M. Morant of Vicksburg, long a leader of thought and action in the church, gives out a very important statement. In the beginning he praises the deceased Bishop Lampton and declares that he reason of his leadership the brethren in Mississippi and Louisiana are together. In the course of his remarks Dr. Morant says: With reference to the general conference the first and most important thing for us to do as ministers is to elect competent men. By coppetition (to not mean alone literary proficiency nor moral excellence. These qualities are highly prerequisite and indispensable, but to be competent means more than these, for what is a man who has not manhood, righteous tenacity and can stand his ground without regard to whom and under the hottest free? The church will never be what it should be until our ministers become men of backbone, men of firm veracity and men who will dare to stand for the right if they have to stand alone. This is the class of men that should be elected delegates. The men who are "crouchers" cringers and parasites should be left at home. BEV. DR. J. MORANT. home. If a man merits promotion from every viewpoint of vital importance he ought to have it. To be delegates to run for general positions or to give epilepsy care, one must have a sensible evidence of his work in the ministry. He should at least be a successful man in the ministry. I do not mean accidental success, but meritorious success at the hands of his constituents without he has success as a passport coupled with acquired ability. And need I say right here that the men of Mississippi will endeavor to look after this man. The men of the Eighth Episcopal district have realized the fact that our needs are many and that the adoption of practical measures of our success than mere men. Among the many who will be aspiring to honors it well to note that the church wants ministers who have accomplished things without regard to opposition. Dr. Morant further calls attention to the history behind the Mississippi conferences and declares that there are in the bounds of the Eighth Episcopal district some strang and resourceful men. He reiterates the dislike of these men for any half hearted measures and holds up their honor and integrity as bedrock foundations, declaring at the same time that the delegates from the Eighth Episcopal district will be well organized and that any one who thinks otherwise is grossly ignorant as to the admirability of the men who are in the trenches. He concludes his remarkable statement by declaring that any attempt to take advantage of a less fortunate brother by playing to the gallery or by deluding them as to what ought to be un-Christian. Whatever step will be taken by the Mississippi conferences and the Louisiana conferences, it is certain that Dr. Morant will be a prominent factor to be reckoned with. Since a boy Dr. Morant has been in the ministry of the A. M. E. church. He has labored all this time in Mississippi and has filled a number of difficult stations. He is now pastor of Bethel A. M. E. church at Vicksburg, where he has been for the last five years. Dr. Morant's experience in the ministry has been varied and great, and of right he considers himself one of the defenders of the faith. NEW AWAKENING IN EDUCATION Training School In Durham. Crowded With Students. Institution Founded by Dr. James E. Shepard Begins Second Year With a Large Enrollment of Young Afro-Americans Who Are Anxious to Get an Education. By GEORGE FRANCIS KING. Durham, N. C.—The young Afro-Americans in this section of the country show unusual interest in preparing themselves for a life of enobling service. They disregard obstacles that seemingly would cool their ardor for acquiring knowledge and with peculiar ability find out what nature has fitted them to accomplish. An appreciable sign of this statement is found in the recent opening of the National Religious Training school in this city. With a faculty composed of teachers from the leading institutions of the country who are capable of reaching the student and creating the proper conception of his ability to contribute his share to the work at hand, with nearly every room in the men's and women's dormitories taken by students from a number of states, with a student from Africa and one from India to receive training for missionary work in their native lands, with a real college spirit analogous to that of the big four universities entrenching the students, the beginning of the second year's work of this institution is an exceptional feature of educational activities promoted in the interest of Afro-Americans. Interest in classical music, with folk songs of the race, is an enlivening feature of the school's work under the direction of Professor C. G. O'Kelly, vice president of the institution. Professor O'Kelly is one of the most experienced pedagogues the race has, and his work as an educator is widely known. The band and orchestra of PARTIAL VIEW OF ORCHESTRA. the school compare favorably with similar, organizations when the age of the school is taken into consideration. There is a sufficient number of advanced musical students to enable the orchestra to feature on the program several well known overtures of the masters. These organizations reflect deserving credit upon Professor O'Kelly. The school is a recognized factor in eliciting the interest of the white people of this section. Among the white people generally there is seemingly a desire to help the progressive African-American to succeed. The white business men are particularly interested in helping the school in reaching the masses of the race. Since the school stands for educating the student according to nature's limitation and not trying to make a professional man out of a youth destined for a farmer nor a mechanic or a farmer out of a boy or girl who is capable of becoming a professional person it is highly encouraging to note the material interest of the representative white people of North Carolina in the institution. From present indications the school will be all that its energetic founder has planned for it to become. International Secretary W. A. Hunt spoke to the young men of the institution recently, and with the spirit for the making of the athletic department of the school one producing representative athletes there is a similar spirit among the young men to make the Y. M. C. A. of the school second to none, among the colleges of the face Professor Carl Diton, the well known pianist, who is a shining light in the musical world, gave a recital at the institution recently, which was largely attended.

HARLAN RESOUTLIONS IN HONOR OF THE GREATEST JUSTICE AND THE BEST FRIEND OF THE COLORED RACE ADOPTED-REV. J. D. CORROTHERS PLEASE LARGE AUDIENCES WITH SPECIMENS OF HIS OWN POETRY AND HUMOROUS VERSES. Boston, Mass.—A meeting of the Boston Literary and Historical association was held in St. Mark's Congregational church last night, at which resolutions of sympathy on the death of Justice John M. Harlan of the United States Supreme court were adopted, copies of which will be sent to the family. The association voted to hold a meeting in commemoration of Justice Harlan in co-operation with the New England Suffrage league and the National Independent Political league. Rev. J. D. Corrothers of Haverhill read poems by Paul Laurence Dunbar and verses of his own composition, and there were works by William H. Reed and Dr. J. H. Thompson. The Resolutions Adopted. "The Boston Literary and Historical association, seeing in the late Justice John Marshall Harlan the greatest jurist in the history of the United States since his illusorious namesake, Chief Justice John Marshall, and the greatest friend of freedom and equality of citizenship under the constitution ever on the Supreme court, hereby records its grief at the death of a noble champion of the rights of colored Americans and sends its heartfelt sympathy to the family of this defender of the republic, sharing their grief in this death which is an irreparable loss to a race of ten millions, who are proscribed and denied political freedom, because of color." The association voted to arrange a public memorial meeting to Justice Harlan with the co-operation of the New England Suffrage league and the National Independent Political league. Rev. Corruthers Readings. the meeting at St. Mark's church, 1042 Tremont street, was opened by President Trotter with prayer by the chaplain, Wm. D. Johnson. Miss Hattie V. Manley, secretary, read the minutes, which were adopted. A note of appreciation for the late Justice Harlan was adopted, and a motion carried for a public memorial meeting by all libraries and the suffrage societies, etc. Several names were proposed for membership. Rev. Corruthers said he had not agreed to read Dunbar, but his own poems and prose. He read a little of Dunbar's and closed with his own poem on Dunbar, to be published in part by the Century magazine. His poems were liberally applauded and his humorous writings kept the audience in convulsions of laughter. He made one of the most interesting nights ever held by any literary in Boston. A large audience was out to hear the gifted writer and poet. Mr. W. N. Reed sang as never before and was encored. His beautiful baritone voice caused regret that he follows Mr. Hodges in soon leaving Boston. Dr. J. H. Thompson's solo so pleased the audience he was greatly applauded and given an encore. The memorial meeting recently held in St. Mark's Methodist Episcopal church in New York, Rev. Dr. William H. Brooks pastor, in honor of the late John M. Harlan of the United States supreme court was attended by upward of 000 representative Afro-Americans. Dr. E. P. Roberts presided, and the speakers were the Rev. W. H. Brooks, James L. Curtis, Dr. W. L. Bulkley and Mrs. Frances Keger. In the course of his excellent address Mr. Curtis said: "When all the white men of this country seemed to be anglist us Justice Harlan defended us. Justice Harlan had only been appointed to the United States supreme court a few years when the civil rights bill came before the United States supreme court to have its constitutionality tested. The civil rights bill provided that to discriminate against Negroes in hotels, public conveyances, schools and elsewhere was contrary to the spirit of the constitution. Feeling run so high about the bill that-Charles Sumner, the other friend of our race in those days, was assaulted in the capitol and so badly beaten that he never fully recovered. "Justice Harlan's associates is" the supreme court declared that the bill was unconstitutional because it interfered with the police powers of the different states. But Justice Harlan held that the bill was directly in the spirit of the constitution and that if any state passed any law regarding any class of citizens, taking away their lives, liberties or pursuit of happiness, that state was doing something unconstitutional. Justice Harlan again wrote a dissenting opinion to the decision of his associates in the supreme court in the Berea college case. "Berea college was a school in Tennessee which was attended both by white and colored pupils.

Below appears an exact copy of the motion as made by counsel, and the brief order signed by the court. Thus was the Courier vindicated in its determined stand against what appears to be wrong and its equal determination to foster the principle of right irrespective of class.

After some months he money dwindled down to an alarming Day Laborer, Waiter in Restaurant, Prize Winner in Art Schools ARIS, Nov. 1—William Scott of Indianapolis, whose two great-grand-fathers were full-bioedited American Indians, is making rapid strides to a recognized position in the French art world, after hardships that would have crushed most men. His parents were uneducated and desperately poor. Young Scott, however, was given a good public school education. It was as a schoolboy that he first discovered the taste for art. "A love that no amount of hardship could knock out of me," he said to the writer-yesterday. "When I left school," he continued, "my father expected I would begin a business career and earn lots of money. But when I unfolded my plans of schooling to become an artist he thought I had lost my reason. —Courtesy Dispatch. Are You in Arrears on your subscription? You know WE NEED THE MONEY HON. ROBERT S. FRAZER. The above is a likeness of the Honorable Robert S. Frazer, the judge who presided in the trial of the case against the Pittsburgh Courier in which Rev. Kincaid was the prosecutor. The article complained of was presented to the court, and after due reading and consideration, his Honor ruled that the article was not libelous, and allowed the motion to quash of the colored people in Tennessee caused a law to be passed by the Tennessee legislature making it unlawful for white and colored children to go to the same school and requiring colored schools to be located several miles away from white schools. The law was carried to the supreme court, and Justice Harlan's associates there declared it constitutional. But Justice Harlan wrote a dissenting opinion, saying that the law was merely a makeshift to segregate the colored people in this country and to deprive them of their full rights." VINDICATION AND FACTS Former True Reformers' Chief, J. W. Hunter, Put in False Light By Enemies To Whom It May Concern: Anent the recent prosecution of Mr. Jos. W. Hunter, better known as "Chief Hunter," by reason of his former position as Chief of the Pittsburgh Division by individuals on behalf of the Grand Fountain United Order of True Reformers, so many different statements have been made by persons behind this prosecution before and since the trial of Hunter in the Court of the Supreme Sessions of this county that or the sake of commendation, at least, we deem a word or two from us advisable at this time in order that the public may know the real facts in this case. About mid-summer an information was made against Mr. Hunter before Police Magistrate Goettman of the East End Station House by one, W. L. Anderson, one of the higher officials of the Grand Fountain United Orders of True Reformers, charging the embezzlement of some $100,000. After some time, several postponement suits the convenience of the Grand Fountain upon a hearing in open court Mr. Hunter was discharged by Police Magistrate Goettman. Smarting under the bitterness of their disappointment these prosecutors went before Alderman Walker and preferred seven separate and distinct charges of embezzlement, against Mr. Hunter for sums aggregating more than $1,000,000. From these indictments indictments were retained and Mr. Hunter was called to trial to answer charges on the 25th day of October, 1911, the trial lasting part of two days. The persons who were responsible for this prosecution could not prove the charges preferred against Mr. Hunter, and after floundering hopelessly about like fish out of water, the district attorney prosecuting the case threw up his hands in disair, and made a proposition to the effect that he would "Noll Press" six indictments provided we would give him a plea in one. We felt it was our duty to accept this proposition emanating from the district attorney, not because we had any fear of a conviction on a single charge, though we did not consent until the district attorney had given his word to secure the agreement of Mr. Hunter upon his plea of "Nolecontendere," and this was done. Upon the final adjustment there were claims and counter claims. The Grand Fountain contended that Mr. Hunter was indebted to it in the sum of more than $1,200.00, while Mr. Hunter presented claims of several hundred dollars against the Grand Fountain, for the money he had expended while acting as its "Chief." The matter was brought to a conclusion by the execution of the following: "Articles of agreement made and concluded this 26th day of October, 1911, between Walter R. Griffin, Grand Worthy Master of the Grand Fountain United Order of Virginia, and Jos. W. Hunter of the City of Pittsburgh, County of Allegheny, and We will also give to our agents or any person sending us the most subscriptions under this offer (which must be over ten yearly subscriptions) Ten Dollars in gold.

ELLIS MOREL ARIS, Nov. 1—William Scott of Indianapolis, whose two great-grand-fathers were full-blooded American Indians, is making rapid strides to a recognized position in the [Special Telegram to the Diptych] WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 11.—According to the returns of the thirteenth census, the population of continental United States, excluding Alaska, Porto Rico and other outlying possessions, which 91,979,000 inhabitants, color, fellows: White, 81,723,687; black, 9; negro, 9,823,284; or 10.7 per cent; all other persons, Indians, Chinese, Japanese, etc., 411,285; or 0.4 per cent. The white population has constituted a somewhat larger percentage of the total population, with a corresponding decrease the percentage of the black population. The white now constitute 88.9 per cent of the total populations as compared with 88.5 per cent in 1880, whereas, the negroes now constitute only 10.7 per cent in 1880, as compared with 83.1 per cent in 1880. There has been an increase in white population since 1900 of 14,923,491, or 22.3 per cent, as compared to an increase in black population from 1904,300, to 11.3 per cent. The excess in the percentage of increase due to the whites is, of course, due in part to the large immigration of foreign-born whites during the decade. There is a large increase in the number of foreign-born white persons who were enumerated at the thirteenth census, about 5,600,000, or 37 per cent of this country since 1900. If this number is deducted from the increase in the white population, the latter then becomes less than 10,000,000, instead of 14,923,491, or 37 per cent, instead of 22.3 per cent. This figure, 15 per cent, is fairly comparable with the 11.3 per cent by which the negroes increased, since each percentage of the population is approximately the natural rate of increase that is the increase resulting from the excess of births over death. In other words, the indentations, however, no allowance has been made for native white persons who may have emigrated from the United States. But, as against this, no allowance either has been made for black persons, or whose parents have come to this country since 1900, and who almost certainly exceed the number of emigrants. As against these changes, the percentage of the increase in the white population, the census shows for the negro population an increase of 11.3 per cent from 1900 to 1910, as compared with an increase, on the face of the returns of 15 per cent from 1900 to 1910. That the rate for 1900 to 1900 should greatly exceed that for the preceding decade and also that for the following decade. lation in 1860. These computations show consistency with the white population, as compared with the negro during the period under review, is not wholly due to the effects of immigration. The natural increase of the white population is noticeably more than that of the negro.

Studied in Chicago In 1908 Scott went to Chicago to study in the Art Institute with $20 in his pocket. As soon as he got to Chicago he had to look for work, and this time found it as a waiter in a restaurant. His hours were from 11 to 1:30 and his wage was $50 cents and a meal. When Scott spoke of the answer for breakfast, lunch and dinner. "It was like stoking up an engine for a 24-hour run." The second term of the institute found the money a great gain for the class room morning and night for two years. During his fourth year he won the scholarship and also $250 in cash prizes, which had been offered in competition for illustration by different artists. The class room became so many prizes, that he had $250 to put in the bank, ready for a trip to France. "I only knew how to say in French to me the same bread, please, please," he began. When I went into a restaurant I had to draw what I wanted to eat. For instance, I am fond of pork chops; one day the parton came up for my order, and I wrote it up, giggling as I sketched a catlet.

Outside of the South there has been an increase of white population during the decade from 50,227,226 to 61,183,114, the growth thus being 19,077,888 or 21.7 per cent. The white population outside the South has grown from 611,025 to 1,078,904, or by 167,379, equal to 18.4 per cent. The increase of the white population in the North and West is largely influenced by foreign immigration to the negro population in those sections is in part the result of the migration of negroes from the South. In South Carolina and Mississippi the negroes exceed the whites. In West Virginia, Arkansas and Oklahoma the negroes exceed the whites. In the total population, principally as the result of the migration of negroes from other States. In every Southern State, with the exception of West Virginia, Arkansas and Oklahoma the negroes have a higher rate of increase than the negroes. Contrary Dignatch. STANDS ON HIS RECORD. No Combination In Race. For Bishopic. Says Dr. Beckett. While many candidates for the A.M. E. bishopic and election to other posts as connectional officers are hustling among their friends for support comes the announcement from the Rev. Dr. W. W. Beckett, secretary of missions for the denomination, that he will not enter into any combination or undignified fight for the position. He has been assured of hearty support by those of the denomination who stand for capability and clean living. During the years that he has been in charge of the department of missions, with headquarters at 61 Bible House, New York city, he has made an enviable record for efficiency. In South Carolina, where he served for nearly two decades, he is a general favorite, and his conference will most likely record itself as strongly urging his candidacy. From very reliable sources it is learned that the Rev. John Hurst, financial secretary of the denomination, and the Rev. G. W. Allen, editor of the Southern Christian Record, will be elected, along with Dr. Beckett, to the episcopacy. Dr. Hurst is regarded as one of the most effective financial secretaries, that the denomination has ever had. Heard in School. "Why did Asher send to London the army?" Doctors' Privileges.

At Daxper the wrestler was still unstilled together on his painting stool in a deserted part of the town, a brawny fisherman who had been stimulated to the point of looking for trouble in the water. He was stationed at first, so the siziberman advanced evidently prepared to attack. Scott slowly unbent himself; and rose, up and up, tall, tapered in siziberman's height, and fled.

Now that the last possible barrier has been removed, definite action will be taken leading to the physical work of removing the "hump." All indications point to a beginning in the early spring, and there is little doubt about the actual work being done by local or home labor. With this information before us, it becomes us to busy ourselves now in an effort to secure for the Negro laborer his share of recognition when the dirt begins to fly. There are many who look forward to this work as an exceptional opportunity to reimburse a long since depleted treasury, while, perhaps, there are equally as many who have given the opportunity no thought whatever. We need not expect to share in this great expenditure of the city's money unless we put ourselves in position to get favorable consideration at the hands of the contractors. To do this, it might be well for the men of our race who lay any claim to leadership to come together and form a committee who shall be directed to see the contractors as soon as they become known and urge upon them the necessity as well as the propriety of giving the Negro laborer his rightful share of recognition. If we make an effort, there is a probability of securing something; if we make no effort, we may expect nothing. What will we do? GOVERNOR BLEASE. South Carolina may well bemoan her plight by reason of the fact that her Governor has declared in favor of lynch law; and has made public his attitude towards the shameful practice. In a little town in the State a mob lynched a Negro charged with assault upon a woman. The Governor said that he would have resigned his office to assist the mob in carrying out their design. This statement coming from a Governor puts the State which he has governed in a bad light before the civilized world. The case seems to demonstrate the necessity for the Initiative, Referendum and Recall policy now advocated in not a few States. Something is wrong with this man and the State should rid itself of a chief executive whose sense of the law is as uncivilized as that of Governor Bliss. NEGRO SCHOOL VISITORS Wm. H. Thompson, a successful Negro grocer, living in the Fifth ward of the city, was elected as school visitor for a four-year term. This is the only Negro enjoying that honor despite the 30,000 in the county. This incident is but evidence of what we can do for our candidates, if we but decide to support them. The entering wedge has been placed; let us proceed to something greater. A FISH STORY. The usual big headline of the local papers told of a bold "bold updip of a pretty white girl who was driving her automobile along the turnpike just out of Washington, Pa. The highwaymen were all Negroes, says the gun toist. She said that they did her no bodily harm, but made her stop her auto in the road, and just "hacked" and "mutilated" the car. They said "we'll get even with you and after they "hacked" the car "they cranked it for me and told me to drive on." Following the breathless story told by the almost exhausted Miss, a farmer came into the town and reported that a man named Adams who was driving on the same pike had been run down by some one driving an automobile. The man Adams was badly hurt, his horse killed, and the buggy torn to splinters. He was struck from the rear and could not see the driver of the auto. He was struck near the same place and about at the same time the Negroes held up the lady autist. Of course the story of the lady went as genuine, blood-hounds put on the trail, and detectives and deputies sent out to "cover" neighborhood. They saw no one, the hounds struck no trail, and the only thing found was the shattered buggy. Whether Negroes held up the lady or not will be determined when the bruised farmer leaves the hospital. Poor Negro; he must be the convenient tool to be used in time of emergency. The Courier joins the host of friends who are urging upon President Taft to appoint ex-Senator Folek to the Supreme Court Bench to succeed the late Justice Harlan. While we may not succeed in convincing President Taft that our choice is his choice, we may at least put ourselves on rtcord as having sufficient intelligence to select a good man. For the benefit of those who are interested to know the final results of the "Chief Hunter" trial, we publish elsewhere in this issue a full statement of the facts and ask our readers to acquaint themselves with the facts as they really are. One of the cardinal virtues is fair play to every man. Let us at least be true to principle. Notice: All Negroes meeting a white lady autoist on a lonely road had better furnish her with your name, address, photograph, height, size of hat, shoes, last known residence, destination and name of your pastor; then if she runs down a farmer on the pike, there will be no need of blood hounds and detectives to secure your identification. Travel is becoming a dangerous pastime for Negroes. LOCAL NEWS We have in our city one, Mr. Overby, who comes from the South with a practical demonstration of the first and only tannery operated by Negroes.

Housed in a new location at 2013 Fifth avenue, near Seneca street, city, with a new course in music offered and enjoying better facilities for the work, the Jenkins Industrial Colored Girls, is making a splendid program in the management of Mrs. W.

I have been in politics for the last twenty years, but I never saw them so loyal in my life. The Negro has awakened up to his sense of duty. I received the highest number of votes that was cast for the office. We have put up fourteen years, and we have the first nine elected for the School Board. The Colored Protective league took a leading part and its lieutenant was active. If, as a race, we are going to accomplish anything, we will have to organize and reason together. I am striving every day to be of some service to my race. But to be successful, we as a people will have to lay aside all self-concept and jealousy. We must get down to work and work which we may give our boys and girls something more progressive and beneficial to ourselves and then also patronize and cling together in order to do this. I, as a beginner, in this office, will strive to elevate my people and serve them in a way that, when my four years will have expired they will not regret having elected me in that office, and will stand as loyal to another candidate as they did me.

Three Hundred Proposals "I received more than 200 proposal of marriage in my mall this morning," remarked a sedate and elderly gentleman to his wife, whom he was entertaining at lunchroom down town the other day. The white-brained lady gagged, "Don't be alarmed, my dear," her husband went on. "It was only a thick little pink pamphlet from a town in Michigan. It was sent by a man who calls himself the "Cupid" of that state. It contained the descriptions of innumerable women who want to marry. I don't know why it was sent to me—probably just an arrow shot in the air. Judging from the catalogue of aspirants for my hand the marriage market is overstocked with widows just now. The oldest I noticed was 15, and the youngest 17. Delicate way for women to propose, eht" THE WOMAN'S HEAD WHEN milady takes it upon her to go forth in glittering array, as to the opera or a reception, she must give great attention to the decoration of her coifure. This will not be difficult this season, because fashion has taken to herself all the beautiful features, which have heretofore figured in millinery, to be used in adorning the splendid coifure. These features, beautiful in themselves, she has seen fit to embellish with mock jewels. The lovely peacock feather is shown with eye partially outlined with emeralds and rhinestone. The soft soft plume Vivid Colorings, So Popular Just Now, Need Dark Beauty to Set Them Off. At a recent style show held in Washington under the patronage of a committee of society women the living models chosen were girls with brown hair and brown eyes. No matter how beautiful a girl of the blonde type might be, she did not have a chance of being chosen for the show. The blonde girl is not admired this season, for she does not bring out the good points of the "new" "creations" and "dreams" launched by the Paris dressmakers for the winter season. Poiret, the most daring of the Paris dress artists, still clings to the oriental in his latest models. He has finally acknowledged his "jupe pantalon" or Turkish trouser skirt to be a failure, but the wonderful vivid colorings of the orient still hold his attention and in some of his startling new afternoon and evening frocks he has combined vivid reds, blues and greens—color schemes which would be lurid and terrible except when combined with the master hand of a Poiret and worn by a woman of the right type. The fair beauty of a blonde model is eclipsed when she dons one of these frocks with its vivid color notes. She is not the woman to set it off to best advantage, so an olive skinned, almond, eyed beauty is chosen in her place. It is said there will be no haxen laired models employed at any of the big style shows held in this country or Paris. Only the languorous beauties who suggest the mystery of the orient are in demand. Quaint Dancing Frocks On some of the little dancing frocks of chiffon or net made for the afternoon dancing classes of the very much yucunger set wool embroidery is very much in evidence, and until one has seen a dress of this description it is hard to realize just how effective the popular worsted trimming may be. Some of the gowns have bands of wool flower work about the bottom of the skirt and on the girdle, and a frock of white chiffon had a blue tunic effect bordered with worsted flowers resembling roses and forget-me-nots. Touches of fur are the rule on the winter models, says the Drygoods Economist. Ermine is a strong favorite in high-class millinery and beaver is a high novelty, being used to edge and face brims, and in bands and bows encircling the crown. Small, close-fitting bompers and turbans are shown in the short-haired furs with long or short empire scarfs and frequently a muff to match. Mole is in prominent use, also sealskin and its substitutes, as well as ermine and beaver. Skunk is used in large quantities for trimming purposes. Longevity of Belgian Women Longevity of Belgian Women It is interesting to note that longevity among Belgian women is remarkable and their length of life is superb to that of male Belgians. Brussels has 65 old men of eighty-five to ninety-years of age and only ten male nonenarians, she possesses no fewer than 184 women whose ages are between eighty-five and ninety. 30 between ninety and ninety-five years and six of over ninety-five years of age. is mounted in a circle of big pearls and little rihine stones, and a strand of these, with the stones alternating, are mounted along the rib of the plume. The beautiful and graceful paradise shows the stem in a jewelled cabochon and many tiny dew-drop spangles, scattered over the flues. Besides feathers, tiny ribbon roses are favored of fashion, and between the two, with the addition of jewelled bands, the choice covers the field and everyone may be suited from debutant to dowager. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. DRESS FOR YOUNG GIRL 10 This design is for a girl of 10 to 12 years, and may be carried out in any thin woolen material; our model is in pastel blue cashmere. The short-walsted bodice is cut low and, square in the neck, a piece of fancy galloon being carried across the edge both front and back; wide pieces of material are carried over the shoulders, they are edged with the trimming, and the ends are gathered in under the band at top of spirit; the panel in front of skirt is carried up over bodice both front and back in a deep point, it is trimmed below the point with buttons; the trimming is carried across sides between the panels at top of hem. Materials required: 3 yards 44 inches wide, about 4 yards trimming. Tulle Theater Caps Fur and tulle is one of the inconspicuouses of the smart autumn millinery. The charm of such a combination is nowhere more evident than in the quaint little theater cap seen in the best shops. These are of the most vivid shades of tulle—burning red, flashing green, brilliant blue, flaming orange, bright cerise, with wispes of fur of a darker tone along the edges. A cap of deepest orange tulle was bordered with mink and had a huge pillow muff of the tulle and mink to correspond. Cerise tulle is striking with seal, and the deeper reds with ermine. Bright blue and moleskin is also a favorite combination. There Underloved Wrinkles An habitual expression of inquiry is to blame. For permanent lines across the forehead. Then there is another muscle whose office is to draw down the eyebrows. It does its piece of work—and what we speak of is a frown. The permanency of this expression is not in keeping with a happy nature, and is one of the least desired lines. Dr. C. H. Butler DENTIST IS NOW LOCATED AT 6258 FRANKSTOWN AVE., E.

Trinity Baptist Church We indeed enjoyed a spiritual feast all day last Sunday. The pastor, Rev. Dr. Hall, was certainly fired by the Holy Spirit, for every one that sat under the sound of his voice was moved by the most effective way that he spoke. At $ o'clock Rev. Dr. Hill preached a very powerful sermon and we know that he must have been endowed with a two-fold blessing of the Holy Spirit. Dr. Hill has been carrying on a ten-day revival meeting and has surely left a lasting impression. The choir has arranged to have a sacred concert on Thanksgiving day at $ a. m., and the pastor will preach a special sermon on that evening. Prof. C. B.

Mrs. Lucinda Johnson, president, and Mrs. Sallie Byers, treasurer, together with their corps of workers, are indefatigable in their efforts to make the occasion a grand success. MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE Mr. Newlywed Equal to Fine Distinction Between His "Cherub" and Neighbor's "Brat." "Our likes and dislikes are guided by the personal equation—whatever that is," commented the bachelor. "Indeed?" queried the suffragette. "Yes; the property we buy at a real estate forced sale is always the highest and driest, while the other fellow's property, we are willing to sweat, is under water." "Are you getting ready to argue?" "No, I'm still unmarried. But I wanted to show how different we all feel about ourselves and our property from other people and their property. You know, I have a room in a flat with a young married couple. I have one there so that I can observe the martial—or is it martial?—existence." A couple of months ago the stork brought them a baby." "A boy or a girl?" asked the suffragette revealing a spark of womanhood; then she added, quickly, "but never mind; it will be a voter, anyway, some day." "On the floor below us is another baby," went on the Bachelor. "The other day the quiet of the house was disturbed by lusty yelling. "Is that our little cherub crying?" asked the mother. "No, the father answered; it's the brat downstairs." UP TO THE FREEZING POINT Ample Cause Why Mise Oldgirl Should Heave a Sigh on Awak- ing From Dream. The shimmering moonlight silvered the placid water. The tinkle of a banjo down in the cabin floated up the companionway and spread itself around the deck. The girl leaned against the rail. The captain was first. "Miss Oldgirl," he said softly, "from the first minute you decorated this ship with your charming presence, I have worshiped you. Yea, worshiped. Worshiped. As an old sea dog, the word ought to have 'ship' in it somewhere. You will go halve with me for the rest of this earthly cruise?" The girl was just about to answer when the first mate appeared. "Hear me before you promise," he begged. "If you don't make me the happiest man on earth I will jump overboard and stick out my tongue at the life boat. Say, yes, sh.'syes!" Softly, though. The second mate is approaching. "Hear me, are you decide," he be sought. "I love you so much it's a shame. Nobody did. Nobody could. Won't you?" With a start the girl awoke and rubbed her eyes with two knuckles and a sigh. It was her thirty-second birthday, and thirty-two is freezing point. Wall Colors and Light In painting or papering the walls of a room the question often arises what color reflects the most and what the least light? Recent experiments in Germany gave the following results: Dark blue reflects 6½ per cent of the light falling upon it; dark green, about 10 per cent; pale red, a little more than 10 per cent; dark yellow, 20 per cent; pale blue, 20 per cent; pale yellow, 40 per cent; pale green 45½ per cent; pale orange, nearly 55 per cent; pale white, 70 per cent Glossiness and varnish increase the amount of light reflected - Harper's Weekly. THE COURIER THE UTILITY OF SUFFERING A SERMON. He woundeth and he cureth; he striketh and his hands shall heal— Job. 5:18-20. Bowed down with affliction, an outcast from God and man, bereft of his fortunes, racked by disease, wounded in body and mind, and writhing under the scorn of false friends, Job cries out in the bitterness of his heart: "Truly the life of man upon earth is a warfare!" Of all it is truths of sacred Scripture, none is truer, more none universally recognised, than this: "Man born of woman, living but a short time, is filled with many miseries." For most of us the brief span of human existence, from the cradle to the grave, is one of almost caseless suffering. We enter the world with a cry on our lips and leave it in pain and sorrow. Go where we will, into the mansions of the rich or the hovels of the poor, everywhere it is the same old story of sorrow and suffering. Not even the most highly pampered are free from it; and often when their happiness appears at its zenith, it may be closest to its nadir. Human life is, in fact, a maze in which joy and grief are strangely mixed, and where the confines of mirth and pleasure often border on those of sorrow and death. As Thomas A. Kempis has it: "Turn thyself upwards or turn thyself downwards, turn thyself inwards or turn thyself outwards, the cross is always before thee." And the worst of it is that the more we try to escape it, the larger and blacker it looms up before us. The poor repine at their poverty and envy the rich, while the wealthy, on the other hand, not infrequently envy the health and sound sleepfulness of the poor. Patroltism, the excitement of battle, or the strong faith of the martyr, may make less painful even the pangs of death. But this slow, lifelong martyrdom of ours, this daily, hourly struggle with pain—sometimes up and sometimes down—falling and rising only to fall again. Every fiber of our nature rebels against it, and if the hand of God had not sustained us, we would be as utterly powerless to stay our course as to stop the abb and flow of the tide. But why insist on the fact of human misery? We are all only too familiar with it. Above all, why make it the theme of a Christian serman when everybody knows that the existence of physical evil is one of the infidel's stock-in-trade arguments against an over-ruling Providence? We may answer that there is no fear or danger in facing the ugly thing and painting it in its ugliest form, and that we need fear no dearth of good reasons for it on the part of God or man. Of one thing we may be sure—that suffering is not necessarily a mark of God's wrath or displeasure, KING SOLOMON'S MINES THEY MAY HAVE-BEEN THE ANCIENT GOLD WORKINGS AT RHODESIA. Rhodesia, that province of British Africa lying between the Zambezi and the Limpopo rivers, has considerable deposits of gold. The ancients mined and carried away enormous quantities of the precious metal, but under the scientific mining systems of the present day their operations will be greatly surpassed. It has been thought that Rhodesia was the ancient land of Ophir, the land of the mysterious "King Solomon's mines," but this theory is strongly combated by some investigators. The ancient gold workings are the basis of modern workings. For every ten square miles of Rhodesia, it is stated, there was one ancient mine—that is, there are 75,000 old workings—which means that a stupendous wealth was dug out of the earth before the days of Cecil Rhodes. Much of this wealth must have gone to the north and east. It was probably wrought into the crown of the Queen of Sheba and filled the coffers of Solomon. The ancient smelting furnaces are said still to be of easy recognition. They are sunk into the "floor." The furnace blowpipes are made of the finest granite powder cement, and the nozzles of the blowpipes are covered with splashes of gold. The linings of the holes are covered with specks of gold. When the first lining became worn by the heat a fresh lining of cement of an excellent quality, which has outlasted time, was smeared round on top of the old lining. It is said that one can take an old lining, split off the layers with a knife and find gold splashes in abundance. The tools of the ancient workers which have so far been discovered include a small soapstone hammer and burnishing stones of water worn rock, to which gold still adheres. There are evidences that the ancients carried on an extensive industry in the manufacture of gold ornaments and utensils. THE LOCAL BAND. "I was in a southern town," said a dramatic producer, "trying to get up a show. The landlord of the chief and only hotel seemed intelligent, and I interviewed him, as a preliminary. Your town boasts a band, does it not? I asked. "Well, no." he responded. We've got a band, but we don't boast of it. We jest endure it." EASY MARK FOR CHARLEY. Mrs. Green—I tell you it's nice to have a husband who isn't afraid to praise you up to people. Why, only yesterday I heard Charley telling Mrs. Jones that I was getting to be a regular Nantippe. Mrs. Wise—A Nantippe! Do you know who she was? Mrs. Green—Oh, yes! I told Charley I'd overheard him, and he explained that Nantippe was the goddess of youth and beauty—Daston Transcript. for both the Scriptures and ecclesiastical history show clearly that his own best friends have suffered most. "Whom he loveth he chastiseth, and he accourgeth every son whom he receveth." Witness the case of Job, of David, or St. Paul and the other apothetes, who were all forced to drain the chalice of bitterness, sometimes to the very drags. No one has ever yet attained to eminence in the spiritual life, no one has ever yet accomplished anything really great for God, without first passing through this fary ordeal. "Because thou wast acceptable to God it was necessary that temptation (or suffering) should prove thee." God. in his omnipotence, could easily, if he so willed, put an end to physical suffering, but he wills it as a means of spiritual development. It is, in truth, to the soul what exercise is to the body. "Adversity is good for us at times," says the devout Thomas a Kempis. "It makes a man enter into himself and realise that he is in a state of banshment, and should not place his hopes in anything of this world. It is good that we sometimes suffer contradiction and that men have an evil opinion of us, even when we do and intend well. For then we better run to God, our inward witness, when outwardly we are deprived by men." Even worldly writers, from a worldly point of view, recognize the uses of suffering. "Calamity," says one of the poets, "is the perfect mirror in which we learn to see and know ourselves." Irving tells us that "it is only little minds that are tamed and subdued by misfortune; great minds rise above it." And Longfellow, that "the rays of happiness, like those of light, are colorless when unbroken." No man who has not gone through the fiery ordeal of suffering can truthfully be styled a man of strong character. Those who have never been sick cannot properly appreciate the boon of health. We rarely set such store by God's glowing sunshine as after a period of rain and storm. Our capacity for enjoyment is generally measured by our capacity for suffering. It is really only those who know how to suffer who know, too, how really to enjoy. If we had nothing to suffer here, earth would be a Paradise, and there would be little longing for the true abiding place of God's elect. If it is hard enough to die now, despite all the miseries of life, how much more difficult would it be were there nothing to suffer here! And then to think of the reward—that "if we suffer with him we shall also reign with him; that if we willingly remain with him on Calvary, we shall be with him, too, on the Mount of the Ascension; that our present sufferings, momentary and light, work for us above measure—exceedingly an eternal weight of glory," and, finally, that "our sufferings are not to be compared with the glory to come that shall be revealed in us." These suggestions, few and random though they are, should suffice to make us see in suffering not the haunting horror of ghost or demon, but, standing at the head of the narrow and thorny way, with radiant face and snowy garb, and hand uplifted in hope, the Angel of the Resurrection. AN. ERRONEOUS READING. "That's a misinterpretation," said Representative Tallferro of a certain bill, according to an exchange. "That ministerprets the people's wishes as badly as the Jacksonville court misinterpreted Shakespeare. "In a Jacksonville court the other day a lawyer quoted Shakespeare—'Who steals my purse steals trash—to a deaf Judge. "What's that? the judge demanded. "Who steals my purse steals trash, the lawyer repeated; 'Twas something, nothing; 'twas mine, 'tis his and has been slave—' "Louder! I can't hear you,' said the judge irritably. "Who steals my purse,' repeated the unfortunate lawyer, 'steals trash.' Twas— "Can't you speak up?' growled the deaf judge. "At this point the crier thought it time to interfere. He bent over the judge and shouted in his ear: "He says, sir, that anybody what steals his pocketbook won't get nothing." A PRACTICAL PATRIOT. Senator Root, at a luncheon at the Washington Country club, said of war: "Our arbitration treaties come none too soon. The world is getting timed of war. This fact was well brought home to me the other day by the remark of an English diplomat. "He said that at the end of the Beer war two unionists were wrangling at a dinner. "I," said the first unionist—a lieutenant of volunteers—I went to the war and defended my country. "Pehaw! What of that?" the other retorted. "I stayed in my country and defended the war." HOLY LAND8. The Holy Land is a term used, especially by Christians, to designate Palestine as being the scene of the birth, ministry and death of Christ, but also employed by other religious sects to describe the places sacred to them from association. Thus the Mohammedans speak of Mecca as the Holy Land, it being the birthplace of Mohammed. The Chinese Buddhists call India the Holy Land because the founder of their religion was born there, while the Greeks bestow this same title on Ells, where was situated the temple of Olympian Zeus.

He looked terrified and his lips were moving. "What were you saying?" asked his father, "I was reminding God that I am a minister's son," the boy replied.

Riches fame and power are all good in their places—but remember that out of their place they are all very, very bad, and are, indeed, real curse. The true work for which mankind was intended is, to be of genuine service, and by this service not only to make others happier and better off, but likewise to benefit the one who serves for the common good, and make him or her superlatively happy. A similar truth is admirably expressed in the following paragraph which was headed "Real Riches:" "Who is the richest man in the world? ask an exchange, and begins measuring millions against millions. All wrong. The richest man in the world is the one that gets the greatest amount of happiness out of what he has, whatever it is. It is an old truth, but it was never truer than it is today."—Pueblo (Colo.) Chieftain. During the Cuban war, the late N. B. Broward, at that time senator from Florida, operated a filibuster vessel known as the Three Friends. Some weeks ago one was congratulating him on account of the bravery displayed by him and his men during the many expeditions they made. In reply Senator Broward said: "Yes; they were brave men, but don't forget that nigger deckhand. I have forgotten his name, but he was just as brave as any of the rest of us." In the foregoing we glimpse the cause of history's silence regarding the negro. He is not in the habit of "recommendin' himself" very highly and vociferously, the people with whom he plays his part, forget his name,"forget that he ever done anything and when they write history the silence regarding his deeds is convincing proof that "he wasn't there." The senator's confession does credit to all concerned. Booker T. Washington besides being the world's greatest industrial educator is a Missionary Baptist and black Republican. Of these three things he is never in the mist; upon these crafts he files no doubtful flag. This much cannot be said of his traducers. He does not blow hot and cold on the same subject. The climate and weather do not affect his mind. He is steadfast. This makes him a shining example—Dallas Express. Many a farmer who is in funds now is going strong in the matter of spending, and will probably have to buy his Santa Claus on credit, and a month later will be begging some credit merchant for the privilege of buying his goods on time at about 300 per cent. profit—Dallas Express. Our secret orders must practice their obligations. There are many of them who are somewhat slack. Obligations are the binds that tie you together. Let them be practiced. The main fault of some of our business men is, they spend too much time in pleasure. To succeed in business, you must attend to business and let other worthless projects alone. There's always an end to a row. Let it be so in the case of the race problem. Lots of good advice is to be picked up from time to time in the daily newspapers. Most of it is dropped in dribbles from mouths of men who have succeeded in life, and who want others to do so. Any one, for example, who would keep a scrap book of the newspaper sayings of Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller, James J. Hill, Cardinal John Gibbons and Booker T. Washington would soon have as wise a collection as "Poor Richard's Sayings." But do people really care for good advice? Do not people really think they are wise enough, without instruction in their own concept? The other day, when Mr. Rockefeller was leaving Cleveland home for the winter, he said to a reporter: "I believe in sticking to one thing—don't change. The young man who works to make his fortune must pick out one thing and stick to it." Could any advice be more helpful than that? Young negroes, especially those just out of schools, could study this advice to great advantage. Most young people are easily discouraged in any adventure in which they do not succeed speedily, and abandon it for some other, in its turn to be abandoned. It is the long, steady grind that wins in the end. Few can stand sudden success; it throws them off their stride.—New York Age. As everybody knows, these empty gin bottles became such a nuisance at Abeokuta and danger to both man and beast that the authorities were compelled to pass a law prohibiting the people from throwing empty gin bottles on the streets. Rev. M. L. Stone, the noted Yuba orator, attracted huge crowds to his church night after night to hear his account of his experience of empty gin bottles at Abeokuta and elsewhere; and his famous utterance, "Bli sii bi, Ig! bi! bii sohun, Igol!" ("If you turn this way, Bottles; if you turn the other way, Bottles") is a lingering pat-word in everybody's mouth. On the other hand, garden borders formed of empty, upturned bottles, still exist and can be seen any day by anyone who desires to see them. Of course, it is not to be wondered at if evidence of this kind escapes the notice of those who would pretend that drinking and the havoc it is producing are non-existent. It is the same old story expressed in the sophistry, "None are so blind as those who will not see." - Largo Weekly Record. One of the chief questions to be considered by our next general conference will be the adjustment of our financial system. Our plan of assessment based on one dollar per member and apportioned among the conferences according to their numerical and financial strength is as nearly just and equitable as we can hope to make it. The trouble seems to lie in another quarter, the irregular collection and the inequitable disbursement of the funds coming to the department. It is well proven that immediately before the conference assembles the general fund is raised. Another suggestion that seems to meet with deserved favor is to have one depository for the general assessment and reporting every dollar collected directly to it. This would furnish financial credit never before enjoyed. The corresponding secretaries would then become in a larger degree field agents and a vigorous campaign for all benevolent collections would ensue. We would be glad to hear from those who have something to suggest relative to these really important questions.—Star of Zion. We are making herculean efforts to save an organisation which has ranked along the side of such white organisations as the Royal Arcanum, Christian Brotherhood, Knights of Honor and many others. It has done much to start the negro on the road to success. The principles and rules of the organization are—the same they were 20 years ago when the negroes of this and other states were checked in their rocklessness and taught what could be done by co-operation, combination and concentration. These lessons have been helpful to the whole race, and especially members of the order. Our condition is not on account of our rules and regulations nor on account of insufficient assessment, but mismanagement has brought the disaster to our door. We are proceeding in a different way and with different guides, so we extend you an invitation to cast your fortunes with us.—True Refoamer. Nashville offers many opportunities for the negroes in her bounds. For instance, there is not a single negro shoe store in Nashville, nor a dry goods store, nor a military store, nor a man's clothing store; there is not a bakery nor a confectionery store. There are several communities where there is not a drug store, nor even a grocery store; there is not a furniture store where new goods are sold; every dish, tin pan, in fact, everything that is used in the negro kitchens of Nashville are, bought from men other than black men. To say that negroes cannot engage successfully in any of these businesses is a mistake, and the charge that if they should attempt it the negroes would not support them is also erroneous.—Nashville Globe. The masses of the negro should give their people who are in business their support. By spending your money with them, you open the way to your boys and girls for employment, other than labor. There should be a young men's Bible class installed among our young men. If would do great work towards uplifting the moral standard of the colored youth. The race problem is with the rowdy, disorderly and disrespectable negro. MRS. E. PONDS Dealer and Manufacturer of HUMAN HAIR GOODS Switchers, Puffs, Transformations, Straightening Combs and Hairdies.

It reaches the people of the town and vicinity you want to reach. Try It— It Pays Cossepok and Saint. A Paris contemporary by way of illustration as to how some persons discharge their religious obligations relates a story of a Corsac who was overtaken by a terrible storm of thunder and lightning. In his letter he prayed to the saint to save him and promised if only he once more reached his home he would sell his horse and the proceeds should be spent in candles in honor of the Saint. The saint, pleased with so generous an offer, stayed the storm and the Corsac reached home in safety. This is how he discharged his vow: The next day he went to the market with a cock and a horse. His method of sale was this: He would only sell the two together, the horse at 30 kopecs (about 15 pence) and the cock at 30 rubles (about 2.20). After a time the Corsac found a purchaser on these terms and兴趣 to his vow the Corsac devoted 15 pence to the purchase of candles for the alter of his patron saint. Not Reality Camerer's Male.
