Name Address VOL. III. NO. 12. J. McHenry Pulls Out Props and Exposes Eighteen-Hundred Dollar Deal. THE INSIDE WORK REVEALED Things are far from being in a satisfactory condition at the Publishing House of the A. M. E. Church in Philadelphia. The present managing editor, though a sociological student, was not even known generally as a member of the Church until after he was given the present position through the influence of the late Bishop Gaines. For three years he staid in Philadelphia, engaged in his work at the University of Penn, and never connected himself with any A. M. E. church, or was even an attendant upon any of the churches. It is felt that he was unwise in the step he took when assuming charge of his present field to put out of office nearly all the joind employees and putting in as bookkeeper, clerk and secretary three members of his own family, for his brother, sister and brother-in-law are now employed. This is nepistom with a vengeance. All the books and conference requisites that are sold around at the conferences pass only through the hands of the Wright family. But if such conduct of the business does not pay the Church, it certainly pays the manager, because he has been enabled within two years to purchase two homes and is now buying the third one. It has been often said that Dr. Wright was the only man in the Church who would accept the position and that only now are there others willing to take the place. Correspondence will show that there were at least a dozen other men who would have gladly assumed the editorship. Among those are: Drs. A. L. Gaines, C. M. Tanner, S. P. Hood, H. H. Pinkney, J. G. Robinson, Joshua Jones, D. J. Jordan, J. A. Jones and a number of others. All of these men, in years gone by have aspired to the place. Strange indeed, is it that when a vacancy occurred they would not have the place! But no, the change was made quietly and only a very few knew about it until it was over. These men have done the bidding of the Church upon every other occasion. It is a base libel on them to say, they would not have the work. No, they were refused. The shadow of death has fallen across this case, but more than once simony has been charged. That the concern was saved by this Daniel come to judgment, is again a slander upon such connective characters as Dr. Watson, Hurst, and Hawkins. Why can not men be content to rise by degrees without seeking to destroy all those with whom they are associated? Dr. Hurst was instructed by Bishop Gains to be in Philadelphia and redeem the concern, Des. Hurst, Watson, Thornton, Hawkins, and Bishop Hopin were there. Hurst would allow no one to act until he had made this grandstand plate of "saving the concern. Dr. Thornton, at Mathew Bethel was also on award. He was ready and worked accordingly. But no, it must be published to the world that all these men, whose work the Church well knows had suddenly turned traitors and there was but one man to redeem the Recorder. If this is true, then every one of them should be relegated to the traitor's place. But it is not true. For Dr. Wright charged the Church $106 for the use of $1.50 for about 48 hours and if Dr. John Hurst had not threatened him with a suit in (Continued on Page Eight.) CLEVELAND ATTORNEY VISITS PITTSBURGHERS The Hon. Thos. W. Fleming, attorney at law of Cleveland, O. and his bride spent Saturday and Sunday in Pittsburgh and were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Starton. Mr. Fleming was married on February 21 to Miss Lethea Cousins of Tazewell, Va., who is always charming and cultured lady. Mrs. Fleming formerly taught school in Welsh. W. Va. Mr. Fleming is one of the leading lawyers of the Race in Cleveland and had the honor of serving two years in council. Mr. and Mrs. Fleming made a very favorable impression upon the Pittsburgh people who had the pleasure of meeting them during their short stay here. Loendi Symposium Featured By Stirring Address By Prominent Attorney. A large, interested audience greeted Attorney John Marron at the Loendi club on Sunday afternoon. He spoke on the much talked of Woman Suffrage question and thrashed put the real from the unreal in a logical way which caused much thought on the part of those who heard him. He said in part: "Woman suffrage stars with about one million votes. It is a common m.sunderstanding that suffrage is insisted upon for all women. They don't ask for the right to vote but insist upon the right to be given to them to do so. They have been robbed. People are never at a standstill, not even in religion. Politics reflect the politician. It isn't the politics but the politician who get us in the bad or good habits of voting. What is asked now is the politics without the politician. Where did men get the right to vote? King George did not give it to them. Then where did they get the right. Women are the underdog in the fight, but this is the day and time when the underdog turns over. In argument to the vote to vote. "I don't know that a woman according to law has a right to vote." It is the ignorance of man upon the subject, "Woman" is already in the constitution—"We the people of the United States, etc." so women are included. If not, this should be cut out of the document, as all to be for where do men get their right to vote? Natural right. All just government depends upon the consent of the people of that government. If this is denied women, government does not represent all the people. Without her the suffrage is not universal. The colored man with his wife, mother, daughter and sister, because he was denied this privilege, 71 years before the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments were adopted. I believe "women have the right to vote today." Woman! The meaning of the word. Spelling of the word "man is only part of the word. Woman means man and more. She is both. She is made of superior material. Race without its woman stops. If men have rights, why not women. Eighty per cent of the teachers in the school's of the country are women. No work is so important as the development of the mind. Mind without education rots. Sixteen per cent of those who attend school are females; two thirds of the teachers in colleges and high schools are women. She has almost exclusive rights of education. She is doing a great work making them over again, drawing out what is within. Now you say she can fight? How many men who vote can fight? The women can do 205 out of 300 things that a man can do. We can have as good a government as we deserve and as bad as we will permit. Again she can't fight? Don't put all the ends upon politicians for some go to the thick-headed citizen. isn't she the mother of fighters? On picket duty at the cradle? Quartermaster for 7, 8, 10 and some times 20 years? The fellow who says between drinks "She can't vote," can't vote himself as intelligently. Prejudice of men is the reason women don't vote. Hardest thing to cope with. No man would give his vote to woman. Why? Because we are "Lords" of creation. We forget about the early suffering or women. We leave them at home to take care of the children and fire. You let women clean up your homes and morals, why not let her have a chance at politics. You have been walking around with her vote in your pocket for about 100 years. A nation who will not give to all people equal rights is no government at all. Brake 'Em; Both. The society page tells us that the latest big wedding "beggared description."

NELSON SEES INBICATION OF EXODUS TO CUBA This Is Said To Be An Eden For Colored Americans. Room For Planters. Movement Headed by R. M. R. Nelson to Remove Thousands From the Southern States Said to Have Backing of Wealthy Capitalists—Plenty of Room For Trifty Planters. Havana, Cuba. — R. M. R. Nelson, whose address is Lista, Havana, came to Cuba in July, 1888, and opened Cuba's only gold mine for a company of white men (Americans), who have robbed him of his share. He has not sat down and whined over his losses. He was in New York in December last on business and was optimistic about Cuba and its future. He urged his friends to flee from the chilling blasts of the north to this Edenland. He said that Flagger's $40,000,000 bridge across the sea was proof of a movement to make Cuba the playground of the world's rich; that land values in Cuba would increase faster than in New York city. Mr. Nelson talked interestingly of this beautiful isle of the sea and expressed the opinion that when American Negroes came to know of the splendid opportunities which here await them they will begin to take a more lively interest in the opportunities which it offers to the farmer, the mechanic and skilled laborers with a little money to invest. After fourteen years of talking, writing and lecturing he said he was not surprised to find that every paper in Cuba is now discussing his plan, backed by millionaires, to bring from the south 10,000 Negro farmers who have money and place them in Cuba. Some of these newspapers are edited by southern white men, left over after the conquest of Spain by the United States, who perhaps naturally do not want to see the Negroes of the south enjoy better industrial opportunities than they now have. The Havana Telegraph, edited by a fair minded gentleman, in an editorial column and a half long takes an optimistic view of the proposed plan to place 10,000 Negro farmers from the south, who want to improve their condition politically and financially. It says: "Although we have lived in Cuba for more than a dozen years, we have never seen displayed blacker ingratitude than that shown during the last week by the organs of Cuban public opinion to the American Negro who played so large a part in winning Cuba's freedom. "Did American Negroes of the Ninth and Tenth United States cavalry and those of the Twenty-fourth infantry prove themselves inferior in the fighting about Santiago to the Cuban Negroes making up the army of Calixto Garcia? Was there ever as brave a deed done by Cuban Negroes as that of the American Negroes of the Twenty-fourth United States infantry who volunteered to do guard duty at the yellow fever hospital? And has any one a better right to come to Cuba than have the beethroon of those Negroes who fought so well in Cuba's cause?" Any American farmer who desires to migrate to Cuba and who has the means to do so and to support himself while getting established has as much right to change his residence as any American white man and as many American white men and doing constantly. A sugar plantation in Cuba will last ten years without replanting. There is fine pasture here and every variety of tropical fruits, with many species unknown to Americans. The climate conditions are ideal. Elendan it is as Mr. Nelson calls it, and he years for more American Negroes of the right stamp and class to locate in Cuba and grow up with the country. The plan is feasible and practical and offers a partial solution of the Negro problem in the United States. Prejudiced Americans who have come to Cuba to make their fortunes naturally do not want to see American Negroes here for objection reasons. Mr. Nelson will furnish any information desired by colored men in the United States who may be thinking of Cuba as a field for profitable labor. PITTSBURG PA., MARCH 9, 1912. MINISTER DISCOVERS BRAND NEW REMEDY Church Difficulties of This Ohio Divine Settled With An Ax. Bellefontaine, O.-With an ax. Rev. W. T. Watson, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church at Urbana, broke into the church when he sound that the official board had placed a new look on the door to keep him out. He says he will exercise his prerogative and suspend the board of deacons and reorganize the official board of the church. STEUBENVILLE MOTHER SMOTHERS HER BABE Steubenville, O.—Although Flora Christian, a young colored woman of Smithfield, this county, is under arrest charged with killing her new-born babe today, much sympathy is felt for the woman because of her candid reason for putting the infant out of the way. After the child was born it suddenly disappeared and when questioned, the mother is said to have admitted she had smothered the baby because she did not want it to have as hard a time getting a living as she had. She said: "Victuals are getting dear a.1 the time, and I was afraid the poor thing might starve." SAYS HE WILL RESIGN IF LEWIS IS BARRED SAYS HE WILL RESIGN IF LEWIS IS BARRED Washington. — Attorney General Wickersham said today that he would resign from the American Bar association if that organization sustained the action of its executive committee in ousting William H. Lewis, a Negro, and an assistant attorney general from membership. The attorney general declared that he was not fighting for the admission of a Negro to the organization, but was wasting against the idea that the American Bar association could do a thing which he believes illegal. EVANGELIST ROBINSON TO GET THE BOUNCE Bellefontaine, O.—A petition asking the Bishop to remove Rev. J. G. Robinson as pastor of Grace African Methodist Episcopal church is being circulated. Rev Robinson came home last night to preach to his congregation and took occasion to endorse Roosevelt for President, saying, "With all that the Negro may have had against Theodore Roosevelt in the past, he today is the greatest friend of the common people." It will be recollected that Rev. Robinson has been conducting a series of highly successful evangelical meetings in Pittsburgh and winning many to the Christian life. The above incident will very likely be taken by his friends in Pitcheshur as proof of the Biblical saying to the effect that "a prophet is not without honor," etc. WOMAN'S HEAD CUT OFF; BURNED WITH BABIES WOMAN'S HEAD CUT OFF; BURNED WITH BABIES "Alberta Perdue and her two children came to their death by being burned to death in their home in Grove City by a parry or parties unlawful. There was also evidence of Mrs. Perdue's being, murdered, her head being severed from the body." This is the opinion of the coroner's jury that heard the testimony submitted when they acted on evidence submitted from the terrible tragedy which occurred on Thursday, February 15, at 6:30 a.m. to Mrs. Alberta Perdue and her two baby sons, Samuel Emery, aged three years, and Wendel, aged nine months, at their home. Mrs. Perdue and her babes were laid to rest on Monday, February 19, in Franklin cemetery. No trace has been found of the perpetrators of the suspected crime, nor has any motive been discovered. Mrs. Perdue was a young woman, aged 23 years, well known and well liked by all. Needless to state, her husband, family and many friends are grieved at her untimely death. There will be an unusual meeting Sunday afternoon, March 10, at Trinity Congregational church. Center ave. nue. a. o. clock to listen to Mrs. Idia Porter Bower, field secretary of Penn. Alabama state association. This address is under the auspices of Negro Women's Equal Peace League. A musical program will be conferred. Mrs. Bower is one of the most prominent speakers of the state. No one should use this opportunity to hear the question airily and squarely presented. The committee of ar- ting men's are Mrs. J. W. Wilfred Holmes, Mrs. K. A. Brown Mrs. Reeon Allridge and Mrs. L. J. president. Mrs. L. T. Temple secretary. ALL OUT-OF-TOWN NOTES MUST BE IN THIS OFFICE BY WEDNESDAY NOON.

ADVANCE OF THE MASONIC ORDER IS NOTEWORTHY By Paying All Claims Promptly, Order Has Won the People's Confidence N. CAROLINA GREAT CENTER Story of Colonel James H. Young's Work as Secretary of the Endowment Department and Amount Paid to the Beneficiaries of Deceased Members During His Administration. By GEORGE F. KING. Raleigh, N. C.—The remarkable progress that the Afro-American folk are making in this state is largely due to their ability to co-operate along lines conducive to a growth that tends for the race's best interest. This fact is strikingly evidenced in fraternal circles. The Free and Accepted Masons of North Carolina is one of the most progressive and intelligent bodies in the country. It is composed of the material element of the race is the state, and its tenets are such as have placed it upon so high a standard that COLONEL JAMES H. YOUNG. it is conceded by the officials of the state that it is a concrete ideal for other fraternal organizations. Bankers, farmers, professional men, educators and business men and other citizens who contribute substantially to civilization compose the rank and file of this powerful society; hence the spirit of abnegation of self for higher usefulness which takes this organization out of the category of the ordinary secret order. The endowment department of this fraternity is one of the features that show the Negro's ability to manage large affairs judiciously. The man who handled his forces wisely and brought prestige to the organization and race is Colonel James H. Young, grand secretary of the endowment department. He is possessed of such sterling qualities that he is regarded by both races in the south as an exceptional man. Colonel Young is a "real" colonel. He gained national distinction early in life and especially as colonel of the Third North Carolina volunteer infantry during the Spanish-American war. Colonel Young and a number of the leading men of the fraternity previous to 1902, at which time the endowment department was established, had been carefully considering plans that would place the organization upon a basis that would protect the beneficiaries of the deceased members of the craft. They appreciated the fact that large salaries and other heavy expenses if connected with the office would incumber the movement and the growth that was justifiable, so this effort was begun upon a comprehensive basis. Colonel Young has served his state in various capacities. As one of its most conservative and able legislators he has held for years and is still holding an important office in the internal revenue department of the government in this city and has put into his work for the craft those energies that have made him one of the leading public men of the race in the south. This department of the order has steadily grown under the management of the colonel. It has paid in death claims over $175,000. These claims have not held up and the beneficiaries derived of their claims for an indictable period, but they were paid as fast as they became due and without complaint or litigation. In religious movements Colonel Young leads the laby of the state. He is identified with every undemonstrational movement in North Carolina that is for the religious and general uprift of the race. He is president of the North Carolina undemonstrational Sunday school convention. He is one of the officials of the National Religious Training school in Durham. At a recent meeting of the advisory board of this noted institution, Judge Jeter C. Pritchard of the United States circuit court presiding, he subscribed a large amount to the endowment fund of the school and was followed by other prominent white and Afro-Americans attending the meeting. One can readily see why the Masons in North Carolina are doing such remarkable work for the race. WHITE WOMAN SCORES VILE RACE PREJUDICE WHITE JUDGE IS TRAVELING FOR NEGRO SCHOOLS P. C. Pridhard of Ashville, N. C., Working For National Religious School Springfield, Mass.,—Judge Peter C. Pritchard of Asheville, N. C., who was United States senator for eight years; for a number of years served as assistant Supreme court judge of the District of Columbia and was later appointed by President Roosevelt United States circuit judge for the Fourth judicial district, is making a tour of this section of the country in the interest of the National Religious Training school, Durham. He does not confine himself to speaking about the school, but also emphasizes the economic and conditions in the south and especially his state. After speaking about the enobling scope of the school and the effective plans that have made the chauantaq and summer school a potent force for good and showing the need of the great conference of negro ministers to be held at this institution for one week beginning July 6, 1912, the entertainment being free of charge, he in part said: "The American people by no means appreciate the importance of the conservation of manhood. After the Civil war we in the south were in a very bad condition. We had lost everything and had almost lost our ambition. The more earnest among us, though, went to work immediately to build up conditions, and we have succeeded in bettering the country remarkably. Right here I want to correct false impression that seems to be very widespread in all section of the country. The whites and the colored people in North Carolina are far from being at sword's points. On the contrary, I feel safe in saying that there is as good a feeling between races in North Carolina as in any state in the Union. "There is more racial prejudice in the north than in the south, and this can be attributed largely to the fact many of the negroes who come north are ignorant adventurers who think that they can better themselves in (Continued on Page Eight.) BEN AVON LODGE OF FICER HELD FOR COURT William P. Johnson, colored of Spruce Run, Ben Avon, treasurer of a secret society, was held for court yesterday by Alderman Samuel Abernathy. He was arrested Wednesday by Constable Martin Maloy, on a charge performed by George F. Crampton, secretary of the lodge. At the hearing, Johnson refused to testify. Crampton said that Johnson had been treasurer of the lodge since September, 1910, and that since that time he had deposited only $5 in the Bellevue bank, where the lodge deposits its funds. The sum of $170.07 additional, which should have been deposited there, he testified, was appropriated by the treasurer to his own use. Johnson was committed to jail in default of $500 ball. Wednesday, March 13, Is the Last Day to Qualify For April Primaries. VOTES TELL REAL POWER Soon the vote getter will be active in the interest of his candidate for this or that office, and every man who has a vote will find himself a valuable asset in the eyes of the politician. Too, there may arise a necessity for a few votes in behalf of a Negro candidate, and certainly we do not wish to defeat ourselves by our own failure to secure the necessary qualifications. No one will probably realize the value of his vote until he is called upon for it; no one may hope to cast a vote who willfully neglects to provide himself with it. As long as we neglect to register, so long will we be denied politically, for the very plain reason, we are of no value. It is utter folly to boast of a Negro population of 16,000 when we have only about 9,600 actual voters. What we need is to register every Negro in the city and county, and then when we are approached for our ballot, we, like the Hebrews, may ask: What shall we receive in return for our support? Numbers count and the services; it is the votes, nothing less. Get registered now. FIVE CENTS A COPY Detroit Missionary Gives Vivid Account of the Inhuman Southern Customs. Detroit, Mich.-Mrs. F. M. Hetherington of this city relates the following story of her experience on her first trip south: Being a white woman of the north to the extent that I was never south until recently, my business required my presence in the little town of Cuddo, in southern Oklahoma. I was greatly surprised at many things. In the first place, after leaving Kansas City en route I noticed classification of color began and continued. Being much interested in both home and foreign mission work, I became very observant and began investigating conditions along racial lines. Later as we reached McAlester and got off for breakfast I was attracted by a fine stone structure. Upon investigating I was informed that it was the state prison, where there were 1,170 prisoners, half white, the remaining half Negro and Mexican. When the train moved out I became engaged in conversation with a lady who was seated with me and lived in Durant, Okla. She related a recent incident that had happened in Durant, an outrage committed upon a white woman and the lynching of a colored man. This aroused the bolling blood of southern prejudice. Some white men, commonly called Night Riders, placed a bomb under a Negro's house, and while waiting in eager delight to see the explosion of the house occupied by a family of Negroes the Negro himself came out and shot the white man on his horse. The law protected the Negro in saving his own life and property, so again the whites were enraged and proceeded to banish all the Negroes from both Durant and Cadde. This was in September, 1911. The cotton was ready for picking, but while some of the white people of Caddo tried to protect the Negroes whom they had employed in their fields shots were continually fired among them while at work, and they were compelled to go, leaving some of their crops as they stood or accepting such a paltry sum as might be offered them, a mere pittance for their season's work. Business was dull with the merchants whom I called upon. The reason for this was attributed to the fact that a fit of race prejudice had arisen and the Negroes, numbering 300 in a town of 1,200 inhabitants, were banished — in southern phraseology, "they had driven all the old niggers off" — consequently there was no one to pick the cotton. This was keenly felt by the merchants, hotel keepers and housewives. No business for the merchants, no help for the hotels, and housewives were obliged to do their own work. Boys in knee pants waited upon the tables in hotels, and we waited upon ourselves most of the time. Remember, this was chiefly done by the illiterate white people. I was criticised for calling the black people "Negroes." The people said to me: "Don't be so polite. They are simply old niggers here in the south. You can call them 'Negroes' in the north, where you consider them on an equal with the white people." I meditated on these conditions when it affected the town commercially, which I was interested in, and concluded that the Negro must be a necessity, and the report went into the firm I represented "that the Negroes had been banked and no one to pick the cotton" was the cause of business being partially suspended. A boy of sixteen asked me if the "niggers" went to school with the whites in the north. When hearing that they did he became rebellious, but was somewhat convinced of the erroneousness of it, when I asked him if he did not sleep with his old black mammy and love to do it and he slept with her in a bed he could surely live in a schoolroom with two or three black children or exist outside in a playing ground. A traveler whom I was seated with going to Duncan, Oka, spoke of a Negro lawyer in Oklahoma City as being the "whitest" man in principles they had to deal with in their business or profession. Later at Comanche, Oka, a man came into the store where I was to purchase clothing for his children. He declared most emphatically that he was either going to move where colored people were permitted to live so he could get help or he would be compelled to break up his home, as he had an invalid wife and was compelled to go home from business to do housework. Going from Chickasha to Hobart, Oka, I observed that, while there was the most rigid classification of color existing everywhere—separate car, waiting rooms, toilet rooms for Negroes—dilhy, repulsive, half civilized Indians in savage garb came on the train at every station and were seated in coaches with the white people. I pointed this out to others on the train. Some of them admitted they would much prefer to be seated with a clean Negro than with an Indian. SUBSCRIBE FOR THE GOURIER. TWO SS , (By Piizabeth F.

This region is densely foremted und intersected by a myriad of rivers. It hag a soll of incomparable richness, 4g wabered by never-falling rains and farmed by the equatorial sun. The gst com of crude rubber {s about 76 ta a pound. By the time it reaches the world's markets it 1s worth about $2.50 a pound. In Brazil it is called “black gold.” ‘Then there are the low- er grades of rubber. That which mes from the far east costs on the average about 25 cents a pound and sells for $1.75 a pound. Of late years ‘agreat ‘deal of this low gradé rubber has come from the guayule plant. a shrub which grows in the desert up lands of Mexico. Its thick bark eo2- tains about 10 per cent. ‘of rubber. Certain German s and Americans aft- er many experiments, have perfected machinery to extract this rgbber gum, and have succeeded In adding about 23,000,000 pounds to the world's prod- uct of crude rubber. % There are ten “rubber trusts" in the World. Five of them are-in the United States, three in Germany, one in Rus- ‘fa and one in Italy. They represent ations of some fifty of the ber factories of the-world. There re still about 450 that are not amal- gamated. India rubber first came to the Tait: 4 States in 1800, but although = pat: ent 1s recorded as early as 1818 for making an elastic varnish out of the strange new product, nothing seems to have come of it until 1823, when a Boston sea captain brought back with him from South America g pair of fantastically gilded rubber boots. On ‘his next voyage he’ returned with more, which be sold at $5 a pair.

Some rollers are cold, some are hot; some are wet, some are dry; some’ fitted with ‘calenders “that impress a pattern on the finished sheets, and others “seem little more chan laundry” machines, Crude yub- ber bas to be cleaned. It Is softened fa bolling water for an hour or so 38d then ‘run between two rolls, one of which revolves a Ilttle faster than the other. Ofer both of these there plays a steady stream of water. ~ - The rubber comes out in long, fat sheets. and is carried Into drying tooms, where the air is kept in con- stant motion by fans. Every bit of ‘motsture must be removed, and this takes sometimes as much as two weeks. When throughly dried the rough sheets go ‘to other machines, from which they emerge soft and smooth. After having been thoroughly rolled the rubber 1s compounded with sarfous ingredtents, litharge and whit- ing being the two commonest. Then it Is sent under still other rollers and kneaded and worked together Into a .bomogeneous mass. If the rubber Is combined with a textile fabrie the rub- ber and cotton cloth go through, an- other series of rollers, entering separ- ately, but coming out as one. Wolves Startle Town.

The whman’s first thought wnen she atepped/outside the door was that at all they must go back. The wind almost awept her away; only the steadfing grasp of the boy, better pre- pared than sha for the attack of the storm, enabled her to keep her feet. Yet the presence of that ghastly thing on the floor which was affecting even her fron nerve, prevented their return. Whatever bappened they must go on! The door of that shelter was closed to them forever by the dead of dying tenant. She realized however, that thelr chances of escaping freezing to death in this mad endeavor were #0 small as to be practically none. Well, fate had forced ber into this position. She would follow the path she had chosen, whatever might be at the end of the way. Apeech was well nigh impossible. The boy staggered on past the win- dow, and she followed until the lee of the house was reached. Between © great drift spd tho waé, tn a little ‘open space op ‘borses wero tied. ‘The boy was @ natural horseman, He had picked out the best two bron- cos in the camp. If any animals could take them to safety, these could. Not yét chilled by the flerce cold, they untied the shivering, reluctant, terri- fied borses from the wooden pins driv- en into’ the chinks between the log walls of the house to which they had teen hitched. mounted them, and threading thelt way round the drift started southward on their awful ride, ‘They left death bebind them—and lo? death “loomed before and on either hand. 5 Except where the storm was broken by houses, drifts had not yet formed. ‘The wind was too terrific; tt awept the level prairie clean, But away trom the shelter of the house they got the full force of ft Although they were tbickl? clad in wool and fur, the pressure of the storm drove thelr gar- ments against thelr bodies, and soon filled them with icy cold. There was no help for it, no relief from it. They bad to bear it. They could only bend their backs to it and keep on, trust- ing to the endurance of thelr horses, The woman judged that.tt had been sbout one in the morning when they bad started, The Overland Limited fan throug} the station at three. No horses that lived could fave made that 16 miles in two hours under those condjtions. It was more than prob- able, however, that the limited would be greatly delayed by the storm, and If they kept going steadily they would be Ikely“to catch it At any rate, when they reached the station, they would find food, fire and sheiter. If their horses did not give out, it they were not turned adrift on foot fn the storm and snow, and left to plod on until they fell and slept, and froze, and died, they would perhaps get ateay. é More experienced than the boy, all these possibilities were present to ber. She did not pray, she could ask noth: ing’of God; but she went warliy and carefully, helping tho horse where she could. As for her companion, he did not sive these matters very much consid. eration.

He was younger, finer, better, than she. He was more fool than knave; she was all knave. Her thoughts went forward to what was before her; but his went back- ward to whet was behind. After a long time {t seemed to thow, that the flerceness of the storm was somewhat abated. The wind was cor- tainly falling; but the drifts were steadily rising, and their progress was more difficult every moment for that cause. Their very souls were numb with the awful cold. Still they went forward, slower now, and more slowly ever. 2 How far they had come, what time It was, where they were, neither he nor she could tell. It seemed to them both that they had been hours on the way. The woman was sure that they must have compassed the greater part of the journey, when her horse sud- denly stumbled and fell. Her bron- cho’s matchless endurance had at last been exhausted by tho terrible strug- gle of thelr journey. He lay dying where he fell, and nothing she could do could get bi up again. Thé boy had stopped, of course, when her, horse had fallen. He had dismounted and- helped her to rise. Ho hed assisted her vain efforts to get her own played out horse on its fect. The two now stood staring at each other in dismay. “You must take my horse,” said the doy at last. The woman nodded. With his as- sistance sho climbed slowly and pain- tulfy tnto the saddle, took the reins from the ‘oy, and started on. Her companion jcaught hold of the stirrup leather and staggered forward dy her side. The going was now infinitely harder for the remaining horse. The Womati immediately realized that with this almost dead welght’ plunging through the deep drifts and dragging heavily at the stirrup leather, the remaining bronco would soon be er- hausted. She had meant to play fair with him but It could not be. And co for a long time the trio plodded on In this way, the woman nerving herself to a frightful action as best she could. She hgsitated to do it She was reluc tant— But no horse that ever lived could stand euch o strain, She hye that ft would be a matter of mihutes now when the animal sbe rode on would also fall, and lle when he had fallen Wke his dead brother back on the trail, and then she and the boy would | inevitably perish.

He reeled and fell supine in a deep and overwhelming drift. She struck the horse heavily with the whip that hung from the saddle bow, and the animal plunged forward wildly. She knew that she was safe unfess he sbould try to shoot her; for he was too weak and too exhausted to catch her. ‘The boy's senses wero quickened tn- to instant action by her conduct. Aft- er the first moment of surprise, he knew at once that she was deliberate. ly abandoning him to die in the snow. ‘A hot rush of blood, in spite of the cold, swept over him.

He low- ered the pistoj, though be could easily have shot her dead. : Such treachery on the part of a woman would have killed some men; not so this boy. In that moment he became a man. He saw himself a fool; be determined that be would not also see himself a coward. Clenching his fists and summoning his strength, he followed southward afoot in the woman's wake. He walked—if that be the word for bia progress—with his head down and his body bent lower and lower. He took long rests between the steps. By ‘and by he fell forward on hia face. ‘The sensation of delicious rest and drowsiness that swept over bim wooed him to lle still and die~ but there were still sparks and remnants of manhood and courage in him. He shook off bis desire to sleep at last and strove fran tically to rise. Finding that he could not, he crawled forward on his hands and knees, slowly working bimselt over the snow covered ground, round the drifts Ifke a great animal. ‘There was no use. -Humanity could not stand the strain any loiger. . One more movement he made, and just as he was about to sink down forever he beard a long, deep hollow, mournful sound He stopped, interested, dimly wondering what {t could be. ‘Whatever it was, {t meant life of some kind.

There was pelp; there was life! He actually rose to his feet and wavered on. By hap- py chance the contour of the ground had caused the space between him and the lights to be swept compara- tively bare of snow. It was not pow dificult walking, yet he staggered live a drunken man. Ah! the lights were moving before his eyes, they danced and filckered. The train was going!

He was glad the woman had escaped in spite of all, He did not want an- other human betng’s life on bis hands. CHAPTER [. ‘The Loneliness of Mr. Gormly. To his great surprise, George Gorm- ly sometimes found himself feeling lonely, and the oftener so as he grew older. Every man who has a natural liking for women,—and what true man haa not?—yet who has no intimate friendships with or relations to the other sex, is likely to Sind bimself in that state of mind sooner or later. Gormly was sufficiently aged; he was forty-four although he locked much younger. He was suficiently expe- rienced; he-had dealt with women for a straight quarter of a century al- taough he had neither Rwed nor mar- ried oné. He was sufficiently self re- liant; be had built up by his own un- alded efforts the greatest retall mer- chandise business of his.day and gen- eration. He was sufficiently independ- ent—for he bad done it alone—to have She Can Add to Husband's Comfort by Having the House Attractive and Hospitable. ‘The birds find sources of exultation in the building of thelr bests, and you can discover that they are house fur- nishing by the joy of their, songs. It is the natural instinct of love and life to: make a place to dwell in. To the woman who can devise a beautiful gown, the arrangement and decoration St s room is the expansion and ten- fold bigher use of ber art. To the woman who would endear herself to her.busband, a guarantee might be of- fered that if she can keep within the limit of bls means and yet make for bin: a lovely, comfortable, appropriate abiding place, in which he bas room for the development of his own tastes and opportunity to bring about him his friends in hospitable fashion, she will bave endeared herself inexpress- fly to bim and increased bis pride tn her tenfold. Let the good order and beauty and contrivances for his ind! vidual comfort be sufficient to make bis friends envious, and ready to say that his home tempts them to marry, and the wife becomes lovely in bis eyes, in @ far mare flattering war than because she {8 pretty and well dressed. To become the source of a husband's comfort and rest is to bave placed been above the oréimary teciag & loneliness. Nevertheless, he was tem- peramentally lonesome, and at this particular moment desperately so. He had drifted into New York some 25 years before, utterly unheralded, urnoticed. He bad begun by Siting a small clerkship in @ little dry goods store. He kept at it until he owned the store, and after that a larger store on a better street. He had developed a genius for trade, and an executive ability in accord, until the original Uttle shop had expanded into = 15- story building covering a block om the principal thoroughfare of New York city, and its owner bad become a pow- er in finance—a merchant ~ prince. Such was George Gormly. He was, too, a scrupulously honest man. He sold good goods, without decelt. Things were as he represent: ed them. He established principles ot accommodation in bis dealings that were unique when they were first in- stituted in New York. He made ‘no dishonest dollars. His money was good everywhere because it was un tainted. He prospered exceedingly, one expansion following another. Eschewing speculation of any kind and devoting himself strictly to the busitess, he found himself in middle life the head, the foot, the sole owner, of the greatest enterprise of the kind that the world had ever seen. ‘This’ had got been achleved Ughtly. He had brought it about because, with absolute singleness of heart, he bad put every ounce of strength and time and talent, which in him amounted to genius, at the service of bis affairs Time, talent, and gentus do not always produce such results; fortune still must be coisidered in the game. Op- portunity had favored Gormly. He had succeeded in everything beyend his o¥n or anyene’s wildest dreams. Ho might have gone on indefinitely in bls mercantile operations without attracting special attention to himself personally, had {t not been for one fact. That momentous happening was bis meeting with Miss Haldane, It bad come about in a commom place way enough. Miss Haldane, deeply interested In social settlement work and being brought in contact thereby with some of the poorer em- ployees of the great Gormly establiah- ment, had concluded to call on the proprietor thereof to see, {f she could not induce bim to make some ade quate contribution to the work she had so much at heart, Like every other bisiness man in New’ York, Gormly was overwhelmed by chart- table demands. His business was one thing; his charity another. He em ployed a special secretary to look aft er the eleemosynary end of his af- fatre. s There were two reasons why the secretary felt himself unequal to deal with Miss Haldane and her demands. The first reason was Miss Haldane herself. She was a member of the oldest and most exclusive circle in New York society. Her family was one of the richest and most esteemed in that bive of multi-millionaries, would-be-sos, also-rans, and other peo ple. The second was the magnitude of Misa Haldane’s detnand. She want- ed something like » mfllion dollars ‘This amount’ appalled the secregary. She realized that a man like Gormly, indeed most men if they had the pow. er, would’much rather give @ million than @ dime to an undertaking that appealed to them. Still, Gormly, hav- ing devoted his attention soexclusive- ly ‘to bis business heretofore, was rather staggered’ by the magnitude of the amount., Hé would have been more staggered by it had he been less so by Miss Haldane herself. Miss Haldane had beauty. Thow- sands of people—women, that 1s, and some few men—have that. She had more; she had presence and person- ality. Hundreds of men,4and some few women, have these. ‘Those who-have all three in elther sex are rare and come to view infre- quently, Whether it was Miss Hal- dane’s undoubted beauty, or Miss Hal- dane’s exquisite Dreeding and man- ner, or Miss Haldane'’s force of char acter and determtnation, that most im- pressed him, or whether his instant subjugation was due to the influence of all three, Gormly could not tell. He was given to selfanalysis, af lonely people usually are. By analyse ing bimself he learned to analyze oth- ers. Introspection and observation had been great factors In his success. Here again his experience was at fault; for Mies Haldane defled analysis, as the breath of summer compounded of: a thousand balmy scents cannot be re- solved into its elements, save by the pard sclentist who 1s insenalble to its fragrance.

Let not care and bumdrum deades ts to the wonders and mystertes amid which we live, nor to the splendors and glories, Wa need not translate ourselves in tmagination to some oth er sphere or state of being to find the marveious, the divine, the transcend ent; we need not postpone our day of wonder and appreciation to some foture.time and condition, The true fnwardness of this gross visible world hanging Uke an apple on the bougt of the great coamte tree, and swalling with all the fulces and potencies of Ufe, transcends anything we have dreamed of superterrestrial abodes.— John Burroughs, A Iittle too much learning ts a dan. gerous thing. - The Original Poro Hair Grower Imitation {s the sincerest flattery; and the fact that so many people of St Louis and througout the country ‘hink it worth, alle, 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 regardiese of its condition and the condition of the scalp, and in our work have used the preparation whieh is known as “Poro.” This is made and sold excla- sively by myself, L have the exclusive right to that name; and J, alone, know the secret of the composition that bears that name. From its nso in my treatment hundreds have recelved direct benefit. Our claim has always been that when the hair begins to grow as the result of the use of “Poro” it rill continue t0:80 if only this the hair and scalp is kept clean. Many persons are constantly finding that is true. You cannot afford, by using mere imitations, to risk not attaining the result you desire. Be sire 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 stops the falling and starts the hair to growing at once. 3100 Pine Street, Pittsburg Office 6289 Frankstown Ave. St. Louis, Mo.

Wm. H. Lewis. Assistant Attorney General, because of the fact that he is a Negro has stirred the hatred of the American Bar Association to its depths, and nothing less than his expulsion will satisfy members who oppose any Negro becoming a member of the exclusive body. Attorney General Wickersham has declared himself for Lewis, and he is reported as having said that he will resign membership if Lewis is put out because of his color. And the Attorney General goes further and says that it is not a question of defending a Negro, but the question of the illegality of the proceedings. The whole matter seems to have arisen in the bosoms of some of the Southern members of the association. They object to the membership of a Negro, and they propose to draw the color line as sharp as possible, and the indications are that Negroes will not be admitted hereafter, if they can prevent. The stand taken by Mr. Winkerham, if the reports are correct, is the right one, regardless of the opinions of the Southern members to the contrary. There could arise no better opportunity to thresh the situation out than this particular case. We shall watch the result with interest. THE LINCOLN GLEE CLUB. The Oliver Baptist church, a white congregation of West Chester, Pa., engaged the Lincoln Glee club, composed of Negro students at Lincoln University, to appear at the Y. M. C. A. of West Chester in a musical entertainment. That the young men composing the Glee club are musicians is a generally conceded fact everywhere they are known. Their name alone is sufficient to advertise them. The Oliver church advertised the event in the following manner by hand bills scattered over the town. "You Must Hear Dem Darlings Sing." The boys appeared in the little village on schedule time. There at enation was called to the hand bills and that immediately took a train for Lincoln University. And no one in West Chester got the chance to hear "Dem Durkies Sine" Think of it, the chant actually thought those University students were so ignorant that they would not know an insult when they saw it. --- CAPTAIN CHARLES YOUNG. The promotion of Captain Charles Young from the rank of Captain to Major in the United States Army forsufficient encouragement to the struggling black man to warrant him in concluding his fight for recognition and advancement. First of all we must show actual worth, and coupled with this we must observe all the rules and requirements governing a worthy manhood. We rejoice that this product of West Point is a Negro, and that he has shown himself worthy of each advancement. These are the men who must mould sentiment in our faces, and we look to Major Young as one of the assets of the Race. If what Mr. Jackson McEllery says is true, there will be another kidding of Dr. Wright's relations with the Recorder. Now, brethren, what we need is a live church organ edited by a man who will enjoy the cooperation of all the brethren. Let us think on these things before we get too far in. to battle. But, if fight we must, then fight to a finish. With Attorney Wm. M. Randolph named as an alternate State Delegate, and Frank R. Steward running strong for the Legislature, the Negroes of Pittsburgh are booked for a fight this spring. Negro Vice' Presidents were in the minority the other night at the roosevelt meeting at Od City hall. We wonder if Teddy had anything to do with the making of the list.

Sunday was the day set apart for the and rally of the Homewood A. M. E. Zion church to raise $250 to pay off a church debt. Many were disappointed when Rev.

It was told at luncheon at the Lawyers' club the day before the Equitable building burned down. A group of legal luminaries, were gathered about a table discussing the apparent impossibility of insuring the honesty of any man, and it was contended that there was no remedy for it save to pick out your man and trust him absolutely. No matter what safeguards you might hedge him about with, if he was dishonest he would contrain to cheat somehow. One of the lawyers told this story to emphasize his power. A client went into a lawyer's office in Fulton street and said that he had a grievance with his neighbor and wanted to go to law. He stated all the circumstances of the case and counsel listened attentively. The case fully stated, the client asked:— "Well, those are the facts. Do you think I'm in the right safe enough to win if I go to law with him?" "If the facts are as stated you certainly have got a case. If I were in your case I should begin suit," answered the lawyer. "And how much would you fee you for taking the case and pushing it clear through?" "Oh, I see it through for you for a hundred dollars." The shrewd client produced from an inside pocket a well worn wallet, from which he took a roll of bills and peeled off one hundred dollars. "There," said he, "that's yours. It's your fee. That's all you'd get if you tried the case. Now, without doing any work on it at all, just tell me, honestly, whether I've any chance of winning the case." Beware of Cousins! Cousins are not as simple as they seem. The very fact of being a cousin, or having a cousin, is—complicated. The laissez-faire of cousinship is both eluding and deluding—cousins will be cousins, even if you did not choose them. They can borrow money from you, visit you without being asked, tell people they belong to your family, contest your will, even fall in love with you—and a cousin once removed is twice as apt-to. Never completed your homework, never given any help not doing any of these things. Never take him for granted. The "corsively kiss" may or may not mean what it means. And cousins always do kiss—its part of being cousins. Not that cousins need necessarily prove pervious. Once in a blue moon they invite you to Europe, or leave you money, but that almost always takes an aunt or an uncle.)—Atlantic The second quarterly missionary mass meeting was held in A. M. E. Zion church, Scottdale, Pa., on Tuesday, February 27. Mrs. A. L. Anderson, district president, presiding. The morning session opened with devotional exercises led by Rev. T. J.

[Mrs. Lena Harris, district superinfident of the Buds of Promise, Johnstown, responded in an able manner. Mrs. Harris was at her best.

The Pittsburgh Courier is the only Afro-American Newspaper published in Greater Pittsburgh Read it. It is your paper. Valuable Gold Nugget At Balkat, Australia, has been found a nugget of gold weighing a life less than 30 pounds, and experts say it will 'turn out at least 15 pounds if pure gold.' That Wooling Ham. Ham, it has always seemed to us, varied more, than any other articles over which blessings are mumbled in degree to palatability, fragrance and invitation. The variation is due to the manner of approach. If a person is off his appetite, ham does the best when served as an Arizona breakfast—something else for the man and the ham for the dog. But supposing you have been hunting, rising early and staying late. You have lost your lunch. You have to trade home over a hard road. You pass a farmhouse, and from its open door there comes the sound of sizzling hair and the heaven's breath of its perfume. It matters not if that ham sprang from a razorback hog in the wilds of Arkansas, you recognise that that ham is the most glorious flower that grows, the world's desire, the inner fountain of Eden, the pillar of fire by night, the sweet influences of the Pleiades and the deliverance from envy, hatred and malice and all uncharitableness. For the next threep milies you can't say a word to your companion because of a watering mouth. Just to Cheer.

O. SELLERR. Director of Evan- by College. Moye Bible Evan- by College of Chicago.) LESSON FOR MARCH 10. JESUS THE HEALER. LESSON TEXT-Mark 123-4. GOLDEN TEXT-"Himself took infirmities, and bare our diseases."-Matt. 8:11. Forty-one times St. Mark makes use of what is a distinguishing word in his gospel, "straightway," or its equivalent, "forthwith," "immediately," etc. Jesus, as was his custom, had been worshiping in the synagogue, and while there he had performed a great work of healing insomuch that his fame spread throughout the Galilee country; and forthwith as they enter Peter's house there is presented another difficult case, "Simon Peter's wife mother being sick of a great fever." It is a noticeable fact in the life of Jesus that he had his own particular intimate circle of friends with whom he loved to hold fellowship, the home in Bethany, and this home belonging to Simon Peter; are illustrations Why does God permit sickness and sorrow to come to those who are manifestly his most intimate friends? To those who love him most? Why Peter's wife's mother so greatly sick? Why allow Lazarus to die? These are heart-searching questions. Surely all, suffering is not caused by sin directly, for many innocent ones suffer for the sins of the guilty; much is allowed "to manifest God's glory"; some suffering is to test our faith, refusing us as by fire; and some be left to God's inestable wisdom. God can allow him to do some things without explaining his acts to men. Note, however, that Jesus' compassion caused him at once to show forth a beautiful example of the sort of personal work he would have us do. What the Act Teaches What the Act Teaches. Now note that the evidence of the cure is here also for "she ministered unto them." It must have been a complete cure, else how could she at once about her household duties? This act teaches us not only the fact of the cure but also the other lesson spoken of, the fact in his epilogue, of the most method of showing our faith is by our works. God justifies the believer through faith in his Son, but we are judged righteous before the world by our works. By her loving ministrations to those of her household, and to Jesus who was their guest, this ancient mother-in-law showed her gratitude and love for this act of compassion on the part of God's Son. God bless the mothers-in-law and stop our rossa. At the close of this busy day we can in our imaginations see the crowd of the city gathered about Peter's door. "At even, when the sun did set they brought unto him all, etc." One of the most charming and wonderful things about the Scriptures is that it says so much in so few words. One can feel himself a part of the crowd gathered at the close of that day, eager and anxious to see this new healer, and urgently, eagerly, presenting their loved ones that he may perform his healing ministrations are the shades of night shut him from their sight, or perchance he begin a journey on the morrow. The record significant in the second is the word all" in verse 32 and the word 34, the plain interference is that not all who were healed. Many are called but few chosen. God's call is to "whoseowher," but man by belief or by umbel does the choosing; and further, even in Christ's day it is plain that he did not banish nor heal all disease. The next morning, "a great white before day," Jesus goes apart for prayer. How much we need God's presence and wisdom which can be obtained only by "going apart" to the place of secret communion, especially in the day of our greatest success and popularity. The danger of material or other success is to turn man's thoughts away from God. As man contemplates the prowess of his own arm or the achievements of his own brain the temptation is to trust himself and not to trust God. Jesus knew the tests of service before Him and the need of vital contact with his Father. Having gained this through this early morning watch, he was ready to reply to Peter's unconscious test when he referred to Christ's popularity by saying that others had need of him. I must preach to them also, for this came I into the world. Chief endearment. The compulsion of a great mission gave Christ no time to consider the popular acclaim, or longer to pause at Capernaum, though there were doubters others who needed his minimaion. He healing of the body and the relief of human distress is not the chief end of Christ's ministry. He came to establish a kingdom and not preach the good tidings, for "therefore was I sent." Social service is indeed God-like, but Jesus tells us plainly that the soul is of more value than the body. (Matt. 8:33.) But everywhere he went Jesus found opportunity for service, for in another city there came to him a man full of leprosy, that loathes plague of the east. At this point some reference should be made to medical missions, to the work being done to relieve suffering in your own home town, and upon the foreign field. Refer to Isaiah's prophecy that Jesus was to bear our infirmities and our diseases, and emphasize that we are to follow in his steps. Contrast the human side as shown in verse 40 with the divine side manifest in verse 41, and call attention again to Christ's personal touch in verse 41, with the result that having broken the ceremonial law with regards to leprosy Jesus dare no more openly enter the city but dwell without in desert places (v. 45). Even there, however, he could not escape the people who resorted to him from every quarter. MRS. F.

The recipient of the note, not being able to read it, sent it back by the same messenger to Mr. Greeley for elucidation. Supposing it to be the answer to his own note, Mr. Greeley looked over it, but likewise was unable to read it, and said to the boy: "Go take it back. What does the hammed fool mean?" "Yes, sir," said the boy; "that is just what he says." To Remove Paint From Windows.

CHEAP TONIC FOR THE HAIR Preparation That Will Increase the Growth and Impart Beautiful Sheen to Tresses. Eagerly the eyes of a woman will scan the pages of papers and magazines for the thousand and one little helps, especially those that are for beautifying the complexion or hair, or to remedy some physical defect. It sounds very good, and so it is, but when one mentally calculates the price of the much desired, it is with a sigh that the article is cast aside. There is nothing more beautiful than a woman's hair. It fulfills a mission when ugly features are beyond repair, for angularity and sharpness is softened with a delicate frame of beautiful hair around one's face. It is not possible to change the color without injurious results, and nature provides the shade of hair which best suits your complexion. But when it is dead looking, dusty appearing, broken, not properly arranged it destroys the best appearance in the world. Let the hair be ever so tawdry, broken or dull of appearance this prepara- Dollies as thin as gossamer are now being used with crystal glasses and jainty china. The latest importations of these are find as cofwebbs. Each disk is embroidered with the finest linen floss, and while the pattern seems to cover the bit of tissue it by no means gives it a thick look. The finger bowl set which expresses the newest style in the perfectly appointed table is of sheer holding cloth finished on the edge with a tiny embroidered scallop and garland of microscopic flowers worked in a trellis design. China Silk for Petticoats Women in increasing numbers are furling to china silk as the solution to the present petticoat problem.

Not the smaller of its advantages is its light, supple nature, which does not permit the tiniest suggestion of clumbsiness, and moreover, it can be had in any suit or dress shade. coat is one of the newest designs, cut like a man's morning coat, the collar and turn-up cuffs being faced with black satin. The double-breasted waistcoat is also of the black satin; a black satin button with simulated buttonhole trim each side front of coat. The toque has a crown of folded almond-colored silk with brim of black satin. A bow of black ribbon trims the side. Materials required for the costume: 5 yards 46 inches wide, 1 yard black satin 22 inches wide, 4½ yards satin 22 inches wide for lining coat. tion will increase its growth, impart a beautiful aseen and change its dull dead appearance. Boil a double handful of sage with one-half teaspoonful of salt and sulphur in one quart of water. Use leaf sage. Strain it into a large bottle, add as much quinine as you can hold on the end of a knife blade and put into the mixture 5 cents' worth of bay rum and 5 cents' worth of witchhazel. Apply it to the scalp with a medicine dropper. If the scalp is dry use a very little vaseline on the hair. The liquid will "cut" the grease. This is good. ONE OF THE NEWEST BLOUSES 1 Lovely Work Possible When Care Is Taken to Secure Properly Suitable Colors. Very lovely work can be done with ribbon, wide and narrow, self-colored or shaded, on some of the very pretty lace canvases so easily procurable in most fancy shops. The sort of articles best suited for this work are sachets, cushion covers, table centers, night-dress cases, etc. The lace canvases on which many examples has been worked is ecru in color and somewhat stiff. Care should be taken never to let your ribbon, be it wide or narrow, get twisted. Especially if the whole of the canvas is not threaded with cross lines of ribbon, it is necessary to line your work with a suitable color to show under it. Baby caps made in one piece are most attractive and also convenient, as they can be ironed flat and thus kept fresh and dainty. They are cut with a straight edge and a semicircular edge, very much the shape of one side of a tea cozy. The straight-edge is fitted to the face and the semicircular edge drawn into shape by means of eyelets worked along the edge, through which ribbon is run. Rosettes at each side are also formed of the ribbon. White ribbon, with blue scallops and forget-me-nots embroidered over it, would certainly make a lovely cap for the baby. A cap of this kind for winter wear should have a lining of thin wadding and silk. Novel Pendant. An unusual charm for the neck or bracelet is a pendant about an inch in diameter, gold rimmed and with double crystal sides. This frames the brilliant wings of a tropical butterfly, one facing each crystal. The coloring is vivid and beautiful and the marking odd. HOW DR. WRIGHT GOT CONTROL OF A PAPER. court, he would not have turned over the judgment of Mrs. Collett to the Financial Department of the Church, but would have carried out his original plan to hold the balance of the judgment over the Church as the sword of Damocles. I believe that this is the first time the real inside of the Napoleonic move in Church finance has ever been disclosed. Drs. Hurst, Hawkins, Watson and Thornton are all candidates for place. They have kept silent and endured this fa's accusation rather than be drawn into a controversy. But I am not a candidate and can speak. How far short, too did the editor come when in his obituary notice of the late Bishop Gaines he declared that he was an uneducated man and never mastered his mother tongue. This might have been said by some reporter, but by the editor or our official paper and a servant of the Church in a formal resume of the life of one of the Bishops never. How many men are there in America who have mastered the English language? Few, if any. Certainly not Dr. Wright. But consider the work Bishop Gaines did: Morris Brown College founded and scores of churches established. Still he is to be measured and judged by a man who has never spent two years in the pastorate. More Anon. JACKSON McHENRY. Delegate to General Conference. WHITE JUDGE TRAVELING FOR NEGRO SCHOOLS. (Continued from Page One.) this section of the country without working. There has never been a time in the south when the white people were not willing to help the negroes, and that is especially true today. The school which Doctor Shepard has founded is not a denominational one in any sense of the word. His idea has been that the people can best be reached through the ministers of their own race. I am a firm believer in foreign missions, but I don't think that they are as important as converting the Americans at home to the Christian religion." In touching upon the qualification for citizenship, as he did in the beginning of his address, he aroused pronounced enthusiasm. He said: "The negro can make a first-class citizen and a patriotic citizen. He is as thoroughly American as anyone. I am not a pessimist or an alarmist. But I am afraid that if we don't do something to alleviate our citizenship, the government will be in grave danger. The man who loves his God loves his country, and it is pretty well proved that the negro loves his God: It is well known that even the best educated people in the south at one time wanted to keep the negro in slavery, and my purpose in coming north is to let the people here know that the south realizes that it is important to educate the negro and to make a good citizen out of him. There are many undesirable negroes in North Carolina, but we believe that we can make good citizens out of them and we are going to do it. The problem that we have to face in the south is the same that you have to face in this state. There was a time when people in the south felt that their interests were entirely separate from the interests of the people in any other section of the country, but now we all feel that it is just as important to the people of Massachusetts to have good citizenship in North Carolina as it is to the people of that state, and that it is as important to the people of North Carolina to have good citizenship in Massachusetts as it is to the people here. The flood of foreign immigration that is pouring into the country is the good thing, but we must always keep the people who know and can sympathize with our government in as good condition as possible and that is why the training school at Durham has been founded. We must see to it that the homes are in good condition. When I was on the bench I had names on the criminal dockel of every race except one and that was the Jew. I attribute this to the fact that the Jews are more careful in home life and they are more particular in the training of their boys and girls at home. In North Carolina we are doing everything we can now to stone for any neglect we may have shown in the past. I firmly believe that we have made more advancement in legislation for education and for the building of roads during the past ten years than any other state in the Union. We realize that legislation cannot make a good man out of a bad man, but we can by legislating do away with liquor, gambling and thus remove the evil influences or at least minimize them. Ninety-five per cent. of all the criminal cases which come before me can be traced in their origin back to the barroom and by removing the barroom we remove a large part of the evil. scheme it seemed to me tremendous. it has succeeded, though; it is surely going a great work. The negro is an emotional man, especially in matters of religion, and illiterate preachers of their own race do them more harm than good in teaching them the wrong kind of religion. What we want to teach them above everything else is practical religion and good citizenship. We want to show them that they cannot become good business men or succeed in any branch of life unless they have the real kind of religion." Dr. James E. Shepard, founder and president of this movement, accompanied Judge Pritchard, who is chairman of the advisory board of the school, and spoke of its needs and the forthcoming ministers' conference of his race at his institution, which will discuss and study the social problems and the ways of solving them. He said that invitations have been extended the ministers of his race. Circultous Retribution. "Did you help elect that man because of his personal popularity?" "No." replied Farmer Corntossel. "I had my suspicions of him for a long time and wanted to shove him along to where the muckraker could get a good go at him."—Washington Star.
