THE PITTSBURGH COURIER. COLORED PEOPLE TO HAVE AN EXPOSITION VOL. III. NO. 18. COLORED PI HAVE AN To Celebrate 50th Anniversary of the Issuance of Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation The Senate has passed a bill appropriating $250,000 for an exposition to be held in 1911 to celebrate the fifty-th anniversary of the issuance of President Lincoln's emancipation proclamation January 1, 1863. It will be managed by representatives of the colored population, and is designed to show their progress during half a century of freedom. Some interesting facts were stated in the debate on the bill. Senator Bradley, of Kentucky, said that since emancipation the Negroes of the United States have increased in numbers from 4,000,000 to 10,000,000. Notwithstanding the fact that they were freed without any property at all, they now own property worth $000,000. They own 2,000 farms and cultivate so many as renters, there being 1,300 Negroes returned by the census as farm laborers. In Pennsylvania there are nearly 4,000 Negro property owners, a gain of almost 1,000 over 1000, and the value of their holdings is about $15,000,000. There are about 2,000,000 colored pupils in the public schools, and there are about 1,000 colored teachers. There are over the private high schools. The percentage of illiteracy has decreased about 47 per cent. There are about 42,000 Negroes in professions, of which 1,300 are lawyers, 2,500 physicians, scients, many thousands of men, well as teachers, engineers, artists and literary people. Over 100 colored people have copyrighted books, and the Patent Office records that about 800 related to telegraphs, telephones, railroad appliances and other valuable inventions, have been issued to colored men. Since 1876 the government has spent over $25,000,000 in expositions, and the colored people argue that they are entitled to some governmental aid in creating this exposition setting forth what they have accomplished for themselves, mostly under very adverse circumstances. AFRO-AMERICANS HONOR MEMORY OF E.W. BLYDEN West African Was Proud of His Race Says Dr. Ernest Lyon In Eulogy HAD AIR OF INDEPENDENCE At the memorial meeting for the late Dr. Edward Wilmot Blyden held under the auspices of St. Mark's lyceum in New York recently Mr. John E. Bruce gave a reminiscent talk on the life and work of the great scholar and statesman, while the principal oration was delivered by Ernest Lyon, D. D., examinor to Liberia. Dr. Lyon said in part: Mr. Blyden was free born and had an air of independence common to men born in an atmosphere of freedom. There was in him no trace of foreign blood, his ancestors having happily escaped the fires of miscegenation. He was desecrated from the bosos, one courageous, warlike and intellectual tribes of all western Africa. The choicest terms in the English language were used by him to describe this connection. There was nothing about Africa or the Africans that he seemed ashamed of, and of his race and the color of his skin, which was as soft and as beautiful as that of a woman. He was ready upon all occasions to defend the dignity of his race. And why should a person be ashamed of his race, in acknowledging his connection with tribes like the Mandingans or Vais or Johannes or Deys or Grebtaans or scores of others whose peoples have come under my knowledge and observation than should be known by his ancestors, who were working, idolaters, the mistletoe, offering human sacrifice and drinking human blood out of human scults? Young Blyden enigrated to Liberia during the progress of the civilization, where he was an island of the republic from a colony to an independent sovereignty. He was one of the men who helped to shape its national destiny. Here in Liberia at that early period he found the opportunity to become a Liberian. Liberia college, the national institution, then in its infancy, afforded him the chance for which his soul yearned. Here he demonstrated his capacity for higher education, his aptness for the classes and his intense love for the dead languages, and his philosophical Latin. Greek was his philosopher. He was charmingly familiar with the literature not only of the English, but of the French German and Italian, whose languages he spoke with fluency and academic precision. The Mohammelans of West Africa rounded him as an authority on the Arabian and his language, then as commissioner of education won the esteem of the sultan of Turkey, who bestowed upon him honors and distinctions of which no other English-speaking member of the Negro race has been permitted to enjoy. He became the constant companion of people of title, rank and distinction, notably William E. Tit, rank and John Wright, Lord Doughough, Lord John Patterson, the Earl of Derby, Charles Dickens, Charles Sumner, Fred Douglass and John M. Langston.

Pleased With Appointment of Leroy H. Godman A WELL QUALIFIED ATTORNEY The colored people of Ohio, always in the frent rank of progressive achievement, will set a new example this year for other commonwealths by a specific act of forsighted political sagacity. The situation came about in this way: For a number of years the active colored Republicans have made an effort to impress on the minds of the state officials the importance of giving some intelligent colored men of the state a position above the ordinary messenger or porter's job, which has been their portion for "loyalty to the cause and for services rendered." The usual stereotyped promises were made by candidates, and the glad hand and fetching smile were given until they were elected. Then the victorious patriots would suddenly and sullenly forget what had transpired prior to the first Tuesday in November. But they would again become affected with the same awakening and willingness about election time, and the faithful Ohio colored voters would march to the polls and "put the cross under the eagle." Nearly two years ago there was elected to the office of attorney general in Ohio Timothy S. Hogan, a Democrat, by nationality Irish and religion Catholic. Surely there is a combination from which the average colored citizen would expect little. But here Hogan fooled them. Having been a man who built his way from the bottom round and with a keen appreciation of Scott's "A man's a man for a" that." Mr. Hogan set about to surround himself with capable assistants. He is the legal adviser of a great state of over 4,000,000, and he must have efficiency above all else. He was elected on a partisan platform, but he is the attorney general of all the people. So Mr. Hogan thought to himself after he had settled into the routine of his official duties that lust-much as the colored people form a considerable portion of the Ohio population they should have representation in his office. He said if Ohio could furnish him the right man he would appoint the man as one of his assistants. Well, after the Ohioans had rubbed their eyes and saw that they were not dreaming and that Mr. Hogan was not joking Attorney Leroy H. Godman was selected and was forthwith appointed by Mr. Hogan as special counsel at a salary of $1,800 per year as a starter, the first time a colored man ever held such an office in the state of Ohio. Mr. Godman is a graduate of Ohio State university and Howard university law school and served for two years with Judge Sater, federal judge. He is making good. So on the theory that a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush," the colored people of Ohio are going to vote to retain Attorney General T. S. Hogan. Mr. Hogan took the "initiative." The colored people will respond on the "referendum," and the "recall" will get its chance in the other candidates getting their just dues for the shortcomings of their predecessors.

Smythe Well Quali fied To Fill Position In the Foreign Land Pontiac, Mich.-The Rev. T. A. Smythe, D. D., the subject of this brief sketch, was born in Jamaica, British West Indies, in 1845. He came to the United States about twenty years ago and completed his education at Boston university. He later took a special course at McGill university in Canada. Dr. Smythe has a splendid working knowledge of French and Spanish and is also well versed in the English classics. As a pastor he has held several important charges with marked success. Besides his pastoral work, Dr. Smythe gives much time to educational affairs. He is a member of the executive board of WIherforce university. As Inspector of missions in the West Indies he did effective work, for which he received the highest approval of the bishop of the territory in which he labored. During his pastoral career in the A. M. E. church he has come into close contact with the masses of the race to REV. DR. T. A. SMYTHE such an extent that he has become deeply impressed with the idea of devoting the Reminder of his life to work in Africa and has therefore decided to go to the west coast of the "dark continent" soon after the adjournment of the session of the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, in Kansas City, Mo., in May. As he was born in a climate nearly similar to that of West Africa, Dr. Smythe feels that he could more readily adjust himself to the work of missions in Africa than if he were a native born American. He is well qualified to fill any position which the church may see fit to intrust to his care on the foreign field Annual Fair and Dinner for Benefit of the Home For Aged and Infirm Women The annual fair and dinner for the benefit of the Home for Aged and Inform Colored Women will be held at Old City hall. Market street, Thursday, May 2. The dinner will be from 1 a.m. to 3 p.m. and no matter how short your time or how big your harry, we will serve you promptly with a full hot dinner. At night the fair with its gaily decorated booths, charming airs and delightful music, will be the attraction. There will be plenty of seats arranged around the hell for all to rest and talk. Let every one who can come and help this most worthy charity. Admission to fair, adults, 25 cents, children, 15 cents; dinner, 25 cents. Mrs. Eva Williams, chairman: Mrs. M. V.

HIGHER EDUCATION IS EXPLAINED BY HAINES HIGHER EDUCATION IS EXPLAINED BY HAINES In an able address on "The Significance of the Higher Education" recently delivered before the Young Men's Christian association in Brooklyn Professor George E. Haynes, instructor in sociology at Fisk university, said: "The educator leader must be adequately equipped physically, mentally and spiritually for leadership. Health is the first essential. Bodily ill units one for any kind of service or enjoyment. Physical strength is necessary for educated leadership. The term education must also include physical development. "Mental training is the keynote to effective leadership. The longer and more thorough the development of the mind the better for real and true leadership. College training is absolutely necessary for the highest type of leadership. The problems to be faced require the most highly trained minds. "No leadership can be effective for good unless it is of the spirit. Interest in the welfare of others, forgetfulness of self, etc. are the true touchstones of leadership. However, this altruistic feeling must be coupled with thorough mental and physical bearing." and physical damage. PITTSBURG. PA., APRIL 20, 1912. EDUCATIONAL WORK REVIEWED IN BROOKLYN American Church Institute For Colored People Held Annual Meeting Recently At the annual meeting of the American Church Institute For Colored People recently held in Brooklyn the Rev. George A. McGuire, M. D., general agent of the institution, was the principal speaker. After the routine business of the meeting had been disposed of reports from the secretary, treasurer and board of trustees were read, which showed that the work had been conducted in a satisfactory manner during the year. A review of the work of the institution was also presented by the secretary, Mr. W. H. Young. In the course of his address Dr. McGuire said: "The American Church Institute For Colored People was organized by the board of missions of the Protestant Episcopal church for educational work among the colored people of the south. It consists of five schools—the Bishop Payne Dri�nity, Petersburg, Va.; St. Paul Normal and Industrial school, Lawrenceville, Va.; St. Augustine's, Raleigh, N. C.; St. Athanasius, Brunswick, Ga., and the Vicksburg Industrial school for the Negro youth at Vicksburg, Miss. In these five institutions it is carrying on a work which if generously supported would go far toward the solution of the Negro problem and make the work of the church institute equal in its efficiency to that which is done at Hampton and Tuskegee, the largest schools emphasizing industrial and normal work. "The organization also does academic and professional work. Thus our plan involves a comprehensive ideal of education, beginning—where all true education begins—with the minds and energies of little children and going on to the training of men for the ministry of the church and for the highest kind of spiritual service of man. In our chain of schools we have 1,800 scholars, including men, women and children, and about eighty-five instructors. "The president of the institute is the Right Rev. David H Greer, D. D., while the balance of officers and board of trustees is made up of prominent clergymen and laymen of the diocese." In concluding Dr. McGulre appealed to the members for sympathy in the work, asking for their assistance in any way. The office of the general agent is at 416 Lafayette street. New York. Officers for the ensuing year were elected as follows; Charles H. Fuller, president; A. Augustus Low, Judge Robert J. Wilkin, Walter Randall Marsh, B. A., and Edwin A. Marschmlk, vice presidents; Walter H. Young, secretary; Warren S. Pangborn, treasurer; board of trustees, class of 1915, A. Augustus Low, F. W. Farnham, Jabob C. Klinck, Clifford M. Pardee, M. D., and Howard W. Weeks; class of 1914, C. R. Love, M. D.; class of 1913, George M. Allen. PROMOTER NELSON PLANS EXCURSION Never Was a Better Opportunity Offered Negro for Business Who Means Business The United States labor and commerce reports show that Cuba buys annually $10,000,000 worth of hogs, potatoes, eggs, watermelons, cabbages and onions, all of which can be raised on her own rich soil. The Negro farmers who are disfranchised in the southern states who want to see what they are working for should go to Cuba and look over the field, "where every avenue for agricultural pursuit is open to them." On the fifth of June, July, August, September and October R. W. R. Nelson will inaugurate his prospective excursions from New York to Cuba, five days, including hotel accommodations and sight seeing, at a very small cost for the round trip. There never was a better opportunity offered the Negro for business who means business than this. White Americans are cocking to Cuba weekly to make business speculations. The Havana Post recently reported the arrival of 1,000 American tourists in Havana in one day. Are colored men in the United States asleep? There are fortunes in Cuba. Why not go after them? R. M. R. Nelson resides at Lista Habana, Cuba. Plans for Sunday School Convention. The New England Baptist Sunday school convention will hold its next annual meeting in the Sunday school of the Memorial Baptist church in West Philadelphia, Pa. for two days, beginning on Tuesday, June 11. Each school or Young People's union is entitled to two delegates. The general officers of the convention are busily engaged with important matters pertaining to the program and other features for the entertainment and instruction of delegates. One of the extra features will be a visit to the Downingtown Agricultural and Industrial school at Downingtown, Pa. BEST RECORD IN CLASS MADE BY COLORED GIRL Achieves the Honor of Being Valedictorian of the June Graduating Class BY N. BARNETT DODSON So far this year the record of young Afro-Americans in our high schools and colleges has been as equally satisfactory as in other years. Students in schools of university grade on the whole have made high averages. Notably among such institutions are Atlanta, Howard, Shaw, Lincoln and Fisk universities. In the high schools of Boston, Brooklyn, Baltimore, Washington, Dallas, Tex., and a few other large cities high efficiency in class work has been attained. In making up the June graduating class in the Mechanic Arts high school in St. Paul it was found that Miss Catherine Deaver Leatad, daughter of the Rev. Alfred H. Leatad, rector St. Philip Episcopal church, had made the best record of any student in the class. She has stood at the head of her class almost constantly for three years, and, according to the custom followed for many years, Miss Leatad will be the valedictorian of her class next June. In speaking of the rule of the school in this respect, Professor Weitbrecht, principal of the Mechanic Arts high school, is reported as saying the student showing the best record shall have that honor, and the second best shall be the salutatorian. It is simply a question of brains, not color. There is an average of about fifty white to one colored student in the school. Marcellus L. Countryman, whose father is counsel for the Great Northern railroad, stands second and will therefore be the class salutatorian. Miss Catherine Deaver Lealtad belongs to a family of educators. She is the great-granddaughter of John Shipw. MISS CATHERINE D. LEALTAD. art Stanley, who was a schoolmaster of note many years ago in Newbern, N. C. Many of the free colored people in slavery days-B. K. Sampson and members of the well known Harris, Laryes and Alsten families—received their first education at the Newbern school. The mother of Charles W. Chestnut was also a pupil of the same school. John Stewart Stanley's younger brother with his family migrated to New York and Ohio in the early 50s. Another brother of Mr. Stanley also came north about ten years prior to the younger Stanley. Their children and grandchildren have taught school north and south for many years. Miss Leatland's mother was for many years a successful teacher in the public schools of Cleveland, O. The late Miss Kate Stanley, a cousin of Miss Catherine Leatland, was one of the first colored teachers in public schools of New York. Mrs. Harriet Merrill Brown and Miss J. H. Burress of the same family stock are among the public school teachers of New York at the present time. Dr. V. Morton-Jones, M. D. a cousin of the Leatlands, is a successful practicing physician in Brooklyn and also a worker in many good movements for racial advancement.

MITCHELL IS DEAD A gallant soldier and most estimable gentleman, has just passed away in the person of Captain Charles L. Mitchell of Boston, Mass., who was no "vain carpet knight," but who earned his title on the field of battle where he left his leg during the Civil War. Captain Mitchell had always been a sufferer since losing his leg and has been forced to submit to successive amputations. He was a prominent Grand Army man and was honored by men of every class and color. He had been for many years until illness forced him out of it, in the customs service. His wife is Nellie Brown Mitchell, the famous singer. Captain Mitchell was buried this week from one of the most aristocratic of the white churches, a most expressive illustration of the estimation in which he was held. NOTICE. ALL OUT-OF-TOWN NOTES MUST BE IN THIS OFFICE BY WEDNESDAY NOON. TO ALL AGENTS—WE FIND IT NECESSARY TO MAKE OBLIGITORY UPON ALL AGENTS TO SEND REMITTANCE WITH NOTES TO INSURE PUBLICATION. FIVE CENTS A COPY BILL TO BOTH RACES Suggestion of Southern Senators Should Be Reinserted Before Voted Upon FACTS AND FIGURES SHOWN Washington. - A measure of far reaching consequences to the future of material aid to public education is embodied in senate bill No. 3, now waiting action on the calendar of the United States senate. The bill was introduced by Senator Carroll S. Page of Vermont and is entitled "A bill to co-operate with the states in encouraging instruction in agriculture, the trades and industries and home economics in secondary schools, in maintaining instruction in these vocational subjects in state normal schools, in maintaining extension departments in state colleges of agriculture and mechanic arts and to appropriate money and regulate its expenditure." As originally drawn by Senator Page, the bill contains the following provision: Section 3, that in states where separate schools and departments of schools and colleges are maintained for the education of the students for the encouragement of instruction in the aforeseen vocations shall be, in proportion to the population of the two races respectively, and whether the districts for agricultural secondary schools for the two races are coterminous or not coterminous, the number of districts to be determined by the number of districts permissible under this act. The bill as reported from the committee on agriculture and forestry does not contain this provision. The provision which directs that an equitable portion of the moneys appropriated shall go to the colored schools was stricken out at the suggestion of Senators Hoke Smith of Georgia, Ellison Smith of South Carolina and John L. Bankhead of Alabama. It is of the greatest importance that this provision be reinserted in the bill before it passes the senate. The state schools of the higher grade for Negroes in the states represented by the senators objecting to section 5 of the Page bill, get practically no support from these states, but are being supported out of the Morrill fund from the United States, and even this is not equitably distributed. In proof of this statement the following figures, taken from the annual report of the experiment stations for the year 1909, are cited in relation to state schools for Negroes and whites in Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina, the three states whose senators object to the distribution of public funds "in proportion to the population of the two races." The state school for whites in Alabama has permanent funds and equipment valued at $758,470; the school for Negroes at $132,652. The state school for whites in Georgia has values of the same kind amounting to $1,280,866, the school for Negroes $58,649. The state school for whites in South Carolina has funds and equipment valued at $1,155,681, the school for Negroes $254,550. The Negroes of Georgia are 48 per cent of the population. Georgia received from the treasury of the United States in aid of colleges of agriculture and mechanic arts $35,000 in 1909. The Negroes' share of the money, if distributed "in proportion to the population of the two races," would have been $16,100. What he receives in lieu of the land script fund of 1862 is $900. In-Georgia, therefore, in 1909 the Negro should have received of funds of national sources $24,100. He actually received but $10,638. Georgia maintains eleven congressional industrial high schools for white people at public expense, but not one for colored people. The United States government spent $11,000 for agricultural experiment stations in Georgia in 1909. Practically none of it was expended in the interest of colored people. There are in Georgia seventy-two federal agents stimulating agricultural interests among the white farmers and only two among Negro farmers. These facts and figures tell their own story. From them it can readily be seen that section 3 is a very important provision of Senator Page's bill for the Negro and ought to be reinserted when the bill comes up for consideration on the floor of the senate. It will not be inserted unless public sentiment shall make itself felt to this effect. The colored people of the country and especially those in the south should become active among themselves and among the white friends of the race in and out of congress to insure the reinsertion of section 3 in the Page bill.

Eps conducted the Covenant and praise meeting. The members and visiting friends were much encouraged. We were glad to see deacon S. R. Smith home and worship again. After the service, we were putting out the spring garments and bluing out in numbers and work. The officers and teachers are preparing the school for Presentation Day the first Sunday in May.

Yapp, the English naturalist, who has explored the mountain ranges of the Malay peninsula, reports the fact, not generally known, that in several species of bamboo the hollow internodes—the parts of the stems between the joints—are stored with large quantities of naturally filtered water. The knowledge of this fact might be of great service in an emergency. THE There Was Frank, Open Admiration In His Glance. The RING and the MAN WITH SOME INCIDENTAL DELATION TO THE WOMAN BY CYBUS TOWNSEND BRADY ILLUSTRATIONS BY DERABORN MELVILL CAPTION 1923 BY HOPPE, FERD & COUNTY SYNOPSIS GHAPTER III.—Continued. He had never seen her except in the quiet conventionality of a street dress. He had imagined her in all sorts of guises. When she burst upon him that way however, the sight dazzed him. It was so far beyond any dream he had ever indulged that he could scarcely comprehend it. He stopped and stared at her. For once his iron control deserted him. There was that frank, open admiration in his glance of which no one could mistake the meaning. "You must pardon my surprise," said Gormly; "I have never seen you in an evening gown, and I confess my imagination unequal to—" "Do you like it?" said the girl nervously. "I am scarcely conscious of it, Miss Haldane," he returned directly. "I see only you." "How singularly unobservant," she said lightly, recovering her equipose, "for a man whose business it is to buy and sell such things not to notice them." "In your presence tonight, Miss Haldane, business is as far from me as if it was on the other side of the world. It is on the other side of the world," he continued swiftly; "for this is a different world from any in which I have ever moved, and I—" His speech was broken by the entrance of Mrs. Haldane and Miss Stewart. The latter was a fragile, graceful, charming girl, who would have attracted instant attention and notice anywhere, except beside her regal companion and friend. Mrs. Haldane was a not unworthy complement to the other two. These also were wearing elaborate dinner gowns. At this moment Haldane, followed by the two other men, came in from the library. "Mr. Gormly," began Haldane, senior, "I am unable to get anybody over the telephone." "I am sorry to hear that. I suppose that the wires are down on account of the storm." "Exactly. Meanwhile, I scarcely know what to do. Could you send a man on a horse over to my place?" "I should be glad to do so, did I possess the horse." "The pair that brought us up from the lodge?" "Neither is broken to saddle, I believe, and—but I can send a man over on foot. I have no doubt—" THE COURIER Immiration In His Glance. ING IAN SOME INCIDENTAL ON TO THE WOMAN BUS TOWNSEND BRADY IMSTRATIONS BY DERRBORN MELVILLE CAPTION 1903 BY HOPKINS, TERD & COMPANY sible," interposed Dr. Deveaux. "I should not like to be responsible for any man on foot in such a storm as this." "I'll go myself," said Gormly quickly. "You, Mr. Gormly!" exclaimed Mrs. Haldane. "Why, we couldn't think of such a thing. The danger!" "Madam, I have been afoot in worse storms than this," he answered, "when I was a mere boy in the far west." It was the first intimation anybody from New York had had as to any period of Gormly's life outside of New York, and one of the company at least pricked up his ears at this remark and listened attentively. "We couldn't think of allowing you to do so," said Miss Haldane. "I suppose that pair you have could hardly take us over?" questioned Livingstone Haldane. "I am afraid not," answered Gormly. "They have been driven rather hard today, and they are a light pair at best, as you notice." "Well, we are thrust upon you, then, marooned as it were." "I hope you won't find my house the typical desert island," answered Gormly, smiling. "Indeed, I scarcely know what the resources of the establishment are, having entered into possession only today; but whatever they are, they are at your service." "There's no help for it, I suppose," answered Haldane somewhat gloomily. "I guess you will have to keep us until morning." "Think how happy you make a lonely old bachelor," returned Gormly, "by being his Christmas guests. And if you will accept this situation, as indeed I fear you must, I shall make arrangements so that you can be taken to your own place on Christmas morning. Let me consult my butler, who was Mr. Goodrich's major domo before I bought the place, and see what can be done." A brief conversation with that functionary threw some little cheer over the situation. Gormly's own wardrobe, which had been sent down, would amply supply the men with whatever they needed, and the butler imparted the cheering news that the lodgekeeper was a married man with two grown daughters, and he had no doubt that such things as the women required might be secured from them. "Send at once," said Gormly quickly, "and ask Mrs. Bullen to come up to the house and be of what service she can to the ladies. How are we off for bedrooms?" of them, sir, and all ready for guests. "Well, see that they are prepared, and have Mrs. Bullen here immediately." As the butter went off to attend to these orders, Gormly entered the room and, found the whole party comfortably gathered about the fire. He explained that he had found a woman on the place, the lodgekeeper's wife; that he had sent the station wagon for her; and that she would be present doubtless within a half hour with such indispensable articles of airfare as might serve to make the women guests at least comfortable. "If you were only in communication with your shop, Mr. Gormly," said Mrs. Haldane—and whether she meant to be offensive or not. Gormly could not tell—"we would back nothing." "I am sorry for your sake, madam, that I am not. As it is, we shall have to do our best with the limited resources at hand." Conversation ran on desultorily this way for a short time, when the butter announced the arrival of Mrs. Builen. ```markdown ``` Bottle Floated Across the Sea As he did so, the tall clock musically chimed out the hour of mids. "Now that your woman is here, Mr. Gormly," said Mira Haldane, rising, "as I am somewhat fatigued from the ride and the experience. I shall retire to my room. I suppose you young people won't think of going to bed at this unseasonal hour." "No, indeed," answered Miss Stewart. "I think I'll stay awake until Christmas." "Will you go, Beekman?" said Mrs. Haldane, addressing her husband. "Bye, dear dearest—" "I pass out to propose a table of bridge," said Dr. Deveaux. "An excellent idea," returned Haldane quickly, "but there are six of us here and—" "I don't play," said Gormly quickly. "I'll stay out also," said Eleanor. "I don't care much for bridge at beat." "Good night," said Mrs. Haldae, moving away, escorted by the butler, and met outside presently by Mrs. Bullen. "Mr. Gormly and I will watch your game," said Eleanor. "By the way, Eleanor, may I ask where you met my Gormly?" queried her father. "He is very much interested in our social settlement work. Many of his employees live in the vicinity of the new settlement house we are building, and I have had occasion to consult him at his office a great many times." "Ah," said the elder man reflectively, wondering how much might be behind that entirely innocent statement. Meanwhile a footman arranged a card table, at which the quartet took their places and instantly became absorbed in the game. Miss Haldane manifested no special interest in the play, and at Gormly's suggestion she left the hall and went with him into the inviting little library through the broad open doors that gave access to it from the hall. Another fire was burning there. He drew a low chair before it in which she sat down. He himself stood with his arm resting on the mantel, looking down on her. The two were in plain sight from the bridge table; but as they talked in low tones their conversation was insidible in the hall. Haldane glanced curiously and uneasily at them from time to time; but finally, becoming absorbed in his game, paid them no further notice. CHAPTER IV. Miss Haldane Is Charmed and Charming "Not for two months and eleven days, Miss Haldano," answered Gormly quietly. "Gracious!" exclaimed the astonished girl. "How pat you have the time! Do you keep a calendar of my visits to your office?" "I have a marvelous memory for details which I wish to remember," said the man. "And I am so much interested in—the settlement house that—How does it progress, by the way?" he continued, gravely as if his recollection of anything connected with her, was a mere matter of course. "Oh, beautifully. You see, there is nothing to consult you about now. It is all in the architect's and builders' hands. You have been so helpful to me I really don't know what I should have done without you." "And you have, of course, respected my confidence? No one knows anything about my connection with the enterprise?" "No one at all." "Not even your father?" "Certainly not I never discuss business with my father, nor does he discuss business with me." "And yet," said Gormly quickly, "I should think he might discuss business with you to advantage." "What do you mean?" asked the girl. "I am a business man, Miss Haldane, accustomed to deal with men and women in a business way, and much depends upon my ability to estimate the capacity of those whom I work. I have not often seen a woman, or even a man, with a better head for business than you have." It was the deftest thing the man could have said. Women, she knew, we did not naturally business-like, and we have such qualities attested to her was the subtle kind of factory. It came, too, from a man who was a power in the business world, and was therefore the more valuable. Picked Up in the Azores Three Years After Being Cast Adrift Of Carolina Coast. Floating sluggishly at the mercy of the waves for over three years a pint bottle containing the address of William H. Windolph, this city, traveled across the Atlantic ocean and was finally picked up off the eastern coast of the Azores about five weeks ago. The wayward travels of the little bottle are most mysterious. It crossed the Atlantic or at least reached the other shore; whether currents or winds took it miles in detour before it reached its destination is a subject of conjecture. On January 27, 1907, Mr. Windolph on his way to Tampa and Key West passed down the coast of the Carolinas in a Merchants and Midstream ship, the Merriam. Off North Carolina in an idle moment he put his card in a whisky bottle and pushing in the compartment the rail of the decommissioned it overboard. Until it disappeared from sight in the green waves Mr. Windolph watched the tiny adventurer, never thinking to hear from it again. Three and one-half years after the card had been sent out on the sea a strange letter came to him from the fishing firm of Manuel Vasconcelles & Co. Spain. Within the envelope was the same card which he had sent out, unstained by the water, uninfused af- "It is very good of you to my child, said the girl smiling genuinely for her prediction, "and I am more proud of it because everybody says you are such a fine business man yourself." "I should like to do something really worth, while," said the girl after a little pause. "I like people who do something worth while." "So do I," said the man, with obvious meaning. "Mr. Gormly," she exclaimed impetuously, "why don't you do something worth while?" Gormly smiled. "My dear young lady," he answered—really, he was old, enough to be her father, he thought half sadly, as he noted his form of speech—"I have the largest store in the world. I have agents in every civilized country and many that are uncivilized. I own and control fleet of steamers. I have my private woolen mills, and my milk stories. There are ten theories people in my employ. I can give you a check for another million for your settlement work as often as you wish it and—" "These are all very well, Mr. Gormly," said the girl gravely. "They spell tremendous material success; they show your ability and acumen; in the eyes of the world they count for a great deal; indeed, I find lately that they are counting more and more; but they don't really amount to anything after all. What is money, what are power and influence? My father, for instance, was born with more than he could possibly spend, more than he knew what to do with, inherited from thirty ancestors who had the wit to buy land when it could be bought for a song. He has influence, power. What does it amount to? I want him to do something, really to do something in the world for the good of mankind. I am preaching to you just as I preach to him." "Do you look upon me as you would a father!" asked Gormly quickly. "Why, no, not exactly. Certainly "Why, no, not exactly. Certainly not," answered the girl. "I am forty-four, you know." "No, I didn't know; but what if you are? You are still a young man. My father is fifty-five, and I don't call him old." "Wonderful consideration from twenty-two!" said Gormly smiling. "Well," resumed the girl, "I was saying that you ought to do something in life. You have made yourself. You started with little or nothing, if I may believe the newspaper accounts of you." "Have you been reading them?" "Every word," answered the girl. "I was quite proud of being able to say to my friends that I knew you and what they said about you was true." Never in his life had Gormly been happier than at this frank, spontaneous expression of approvals. You ought to have great talents of yours at the service of your fellow students, not in buying and selling, but in doing something for them," she ran on. "Don't you think that in selling them honest goods at a fair profit, in telling them the strict and only truth about what you have to sell, in allowing them the utmost freedom of return and exchange, in providing generously for employees, is doing service to your fellow men?" "Certainly, it is. It is doing service to the little world which you touch, a larger world perhaps than most of us can touch. But I want you to do something. I want every man and every woman who has the ability to do something, in a great, splendid wave." "But what would you have me do?" "I don't know," answered the girl. "I don't know what I would have anybody do; but there are so many things to be done, so many wrongs to be righted, so many things to be achieved. The great man goes out and makes opportunities. Part of his greatness, I take it, consists in seeing what there is to do. Ruskin says somewhere that the greatest thing anybody can do is to see something. If I were a great woman, I could answer your question better; but I am only—" "I think you are a great woman, said Gormly bodily, and I would be perfecting myself to take your answer and abide by it." "I would not have it that way," answered the girl dreamily. "When my father asks me what I would have him do, I say to him, 'Go and see.' He laughs at me; most people laugh at me. You don't, Mr. Gormly." (TO BE CONTINUED.) er its long voyage. With the card was a letter stating that it had been picked up in a whisky bottle off the eastern coast of the Azores, in the province of Praia, by one of the crew of the fishing smack D. Carlos, Delmas, captain. The boat was excellent English, but but from the style had evidently been written by an educated Spanish. It did not state the exact date of the finding of the bottle—Philadelphia Bulletin. Good Real Estate "Ad." When Senator Dolliver was in Macon recently, in the course of an interview with the Republican, he said: "Here's something I noticed in your state which I have never seen anywhere else. In driving from the ancient town of Palmyra last Sunday, over to Hannibal, I observed from the city limits of one town to the other, every 30 feet, on each side of the road, a young fruit tree. That was the rule for 18 miles. These trees are set out and maintained at the expense of the county. The idea struck me at the best thing and in 20 years, along the beautiful highway, those growing fruit trees welcomed to the stranger as clearly as if the word hospitality were written on every fence post. And that was not all—it was a magnificent real estate advertisement."—Macon (Mo.) Republican. Winston-Salam, N. C.—Additional evidence that the colored people over the state are being aroused in the matter of tuberculosis is given by a letter received from Durham from a colored girl, a recent student at Shaw university. The letter which follows has been sent to the state board of health in order that the writer may receive the printed matter which the state provides without expense to anyone in North Carolina who may apply for information. The letter is as follows: "In reading the Herald today I learn that you are willing to mail literature to those asking for it on the subject of tuberculosis. I feel very much the need of this offer, since I realize it is my race who are suffering so much from the disease. I feel very much interested in this work and would be very grateful to you for your co-operation. I want to fully understand what my people (the negro race) are to do to reduce the high death rate percentage which we are having yearly. "Please let me know what this literature will cost me, and I will forward you the money so you can send me the goods. "I guess it might be well to add that I am a colored girl, am nineteen years of age, and have attended the Shaw university for the last two years." GAME TOO BRUTAL FOR CARL MORRIS Sapulpe, Okla.—Because, he says, of the "brutality of the game," Carl Morris, erdrhile "white hope," has quit the ring, temporarily at least. He went to work as an engineer on a switch engine in the Sapulpe railroad yards. Morris left his engine on the night of July 4, 1910, after Jeffries had been defeated by Johnson with the avowed intention of recovering the championship title for the white race. During his twenty months' career he won eleven battles and lost two, and for the time being, he asserts, he has enough. But, insists the engineer, he will return and defeat Johnson. Just when he does not say. "Thugs," Morris complains, "predominate among the present-day fighters." JACK JOHNSON MAY BOX FLYNN IN OLD BULL RING Ell Paso, Texas.—That the Johnson-Flynn fight may be staged in the old bull ring at Jaurez, is the statement of Jack Curley, who is here. Curley has not yet settled the question of the site for the battle. He has been conferring with the authorities on the Mexican side. It is said that he made tentative arrangements whereby he can secure the use of the bull ring or the race track if he decided to bring the fight here. HIS ABUSIVE EYES Aunt Caroline and the partner of her woes evidently found connubial bliss a misnomer, for the sounds of war were often heard down in the little cabin in the hollow. Finally the pair were hailed into court and the dusky lady entered a charge of abusive language against her spouse. The judge, who had known them both all his life, endeavored to pour oil on the troubled waters. "What did he say to you, Caroline?" he asked. "Why, judge, I jest can't tell you all dat man do say to me." "Does he ever use hard language?" "Does yo' mean cussin'? Yasush, not wif his mout, but he's always givin' me dem cussy glances."—Lippincott's Magazine. DOUBTING HIS VERACITY. Jim Slocum of Montgomery county was called as a witness to impeach the testimony of a man in that county. Jim was asked if he was acquainted with the reputation of the witness for truth and veracity, Jim said that he guesed maybe he was, "Is it good or bad?" Well," said Jim, "I don't want to do the man no imputation, but I will want him to know more. We were to see him looking as if he was dead that would want some corroborative evidence before they would be willing to bury him."—Kansas City Journal. WILLING TO OBLIGE A farmer's boy and his best girl were seated in a buggy one evening in town, watching the people pass. Near by was a popcorn vender's stand.

As his nose must be close to the ground, it follows that he must breathe this dust, and if it comes from foul pens or feed lot it not only causes lung troubles, but may carry infection as well. The hog is a grazing animal and is kept in enclosure in seagrass and alfalfa hay in winter. If his home is kept reasonably clean and free from flth and dust, he is pretty well able to care for himself. -Kansas Farmer SPECIAL NOTICE.

The sinking of the new Titanic with her thousands of human cargo, to say nothing of the actual monetary loss, has stirred the entire world to sympathy and grief. The facts as revealed through the various reports tell a story that begins description. The mind can not picture the distress, grief and dispair which must have been overcoming in the extreme when the two thousand doomed passengers stood face to face with a certain death, with no one to help, with no alternative, with but one course open to them, and that leading to the untidied depths of the chilly Atlantic. The real agony can be but conquered. With the sadness comes the criticism that the new ship was not supplied with sufficient life-boats and other appliances so necessary in such extremities. When it is remembered that there were not enough boats to accommodate the passengers, to say nothing of the crew, criticism is in order. Legislation should provide against the possibility of such a recurrence; while man may well remember that he has not the skill to conquer the sea. PITTSBURGH GETTING READY. That Pittsburgh will do her share toward making the celebration of the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Freedom of the Race a decided success in 1913 can best be gleaned from the present activity among the people. Some of the foremost citizens of the city and county have engaged in the work with a determination to place Pittsburgh and Allegheny county where they properly belong in the work of art and craftsmanship. The coming of Hon. Harry Bass, governor Tener has entrusted with the work of preparation, is looked forward to with anxiety, as we are anxious, to combine our plans and ideas with his and those of Dr. Slowe, who, as an organizer, enjoys some reputation. The Courier is glad to note that this is one movement in which all Negroes are engaging without dispute or factional politics and this very fact alone spells success. Now that the Primaries are over, a word about the Negro candidate and his support is an order. The returns from the Official Board give Steward more than 1,200 votes, and Steward gives the Negro credit for these votes. The Primaries demonstrated for all time that the Negro will stand up for his own, when the right man is placed before him. The manner in which the Negroes rallied to their candidate was encouraging beyond expression; even white man volunteered their aid by reason of the loyal support given by the Negroes. The Negroes have but to be encouraged to repeat their effort. Things worth while are not gained by a single effort but by a persistent struggle with a determination to do or die. Hon. Harry Bass was eleven years warning in Philadelphia, and with the start Steward now enjoys, he will attain the goal two years hence. All ocean liners will hereafter make their maiden voyage with the crew on.

OVERWORK IS GREAT FOLLY Words of Two Prominent Men That Should be Considered by Every Busy Person. Woman can call at the folly of overwork and she gets scant heed. Here is what two prominent men have to say about it. Whether they practice as they preach is best known to themselves, but the sentiment is all right. Chauncey Depew has said: "I do not believe in overwork, and the body can not endure it." Kirkham, in his "Resources," writes: "If we do not play enough it is because we are overfond of business and because the modern ideal is, not a well-rounded man of elevated mind, healthy body and divers resources, but a rich man, a man of property—one resource only. Another reason is, play implies leisure, and leisure is the cardinal heresy against the religion of trade, the dogma, of business. The orthodox view is a life of constant effort, followed by retirement and rest. The fruit of that doctrine is a host of old men, syllabic, nervously挫服, without sources, but with money; that is to say, dead men." If instead of nagging, the worrying wife or mother has those two paragraphs stuck in the mirror of the man whose overwork is rankest, folly, she may make an impression before the overstrain has earned its sure penalty of a bad breakdown.

A physician of Montpellier, France, was in the habit of employing a very ingenious artifice. When he came to a town where he was not known, he pretened to have lost his dog, and ordered the public crier to offer, with beat of drum, a reward of 25 louts to whomsoever should bring it to him. The crier took care to mention all the titles and academic honors of the doctor, as well as his place of residence. He soon became the talk of the town. "Do you know," says one, "that a famous physician has come here, a very clever fellow? He must be very rich, for he offers 25 louts for finding his dog." The dog was not found, but patients were Water In the Desert. Yapp, the English naturalist, who has explored the mountain ranges of the Malay peninsula, reports the fact, not generally known, that in several species of hambo the hollow internodes—the parts of the stem between the joints—are stored with large quantities of naturally filtered water. The knowledge of this fact might be of great service in an emergency. Making Meeting Equal One day a distinguished notary while breakfasting with a friend at a café in Paris indulged in some stinging comments on the public act of Marshal Marmont. Suddenly another gentleman, dining, at another table, arose and approached them, his musche bristling with anger. "Sir," cried he tragically, "you shall give me satisfaction!" Are you marshal Marmont? "quickly asked the notary. "I have not that honor," was the indignant reply; "but I am his chief aldee-camp." "Give me your card then, sir," said the notary, "I will send you my head clerk." Curious "Lama." In France, by the cultivation of inhuman marine microbes in a liquid media in contined in little glass vessels, there have been produced some of the most curious lamps imaginable if a few of these living lamps are used. In dark room the bust is made plainly visible and photographs may be taken of it. Recipe for Success Keep your head cool—your feet warm—your mind busy. Don't worry over trifles. Plan your work ahead, then stick to it, rain or shine. Don't waste symp.hy on yourself. If you are a gem, someone will find you. Don't whine. Tell people you are a failure and they will believe you. Talk and act like a winner, and in time you will become one—Stephen Harte. Home of the Ruby. Ruby mines of the Mogok valley are known to have been worked since the year 1600. Just how old these mines are nobody knows, for they have produced 'practically all' the rubles of ancient and modern times. Where the Broom Grows here the brooms The United States for the most part manufactures grade brooms of the world. The best are for domestic use, though some are exported, notably the inferior grades.

J. Rosamond Johnson and Charlie Hart In a three scene sketch called "The Entertainers", Charles Hart and J. Rosamond Johnson certainly have a fine vehicle for their talent. "The Entertainers" is right. The last scene is particularly good and since the sketch was written by Mr. Johnson reflects with credit much to that gentleman's ability. They have just been together two weeks out of New York when they appeared at the Grand this week to very appreciative audiences. We also note that Mr. Johnson's work at the plano grows and develops with time, judging from the exquisite touch and finish of his work. Progressive Whist Party.

"A drunken congressman said to Horace Greeley one day: "I am a self-made man." "Then, sir," replied the philosophical Horace, "the fact relieves the Almighty of a great responsibility." Only One Required "You just take a bottle of my medicine," said a quack doctor to a consumptive, "and you'll never cough again." "Is your medicine so fatal as that?" gasped the consumptive. The Idea. A certain woman assured her husband she never told him a lie, and never would. He told her he did not doubt it, but would hereafter cut a notch in the piano when he knew she deceived him. "No, you won't!" she screamed. "I'm not going to have my piano ruffed!" Money Wanted. "Bruden," said a darky minister down on a plantation, "bruden, I'm got a five dollar sermon, an' a two dollar sermon, an' a one dollar sermon, an' I want dis here indelicate audience to take up a collection as to which one of dem dey can afford to hear." Margie's Idea "Papa was very polite at dinner," observed small Margie. "In serving the indies he said 'dressing,' because they like to dress, but in serving the gentlemen he called it 'stuffing,' because they always want so much to ent." Relief for the Supertitle The composer Rossini could cook cleverly, and his most celebrated dish was a preparation of macaroni.

Deceased had been a sufferer for about two years, but did not give up until six weeks ago. He was employed at the Pittsburgh Steel Company plant as janitor and driver, and was well liked by all with whom he came in contact in his daily rounds. Mr. Matthews came to Monessen nine years ago from North Carolina, and had since made his home here. He leaves a wife and four children. He was a member of the local Knights of Pythias lodge. No. 30.

NOVEL IDEA FOR PINCUSHION By the Use of an Old Napkin Ring and Silk Remnants Useful Art- ticle is Procured. An unusual and decidedly charm- ing pincushion for a desk or writin table can be made from an old silver napkin ring. Wind zephyr until you have a ball large enough to slip into the ring and be quite tight. Cut a circle of soft silk two inches wider in circumfer- ence than the opening of the ring and place this over one side of the ball. sew it all around the ball. SUIT Hand Ca Pe here, and piece should become walst on the plain. Now press this through the ring until the silk side rises above the edge of the ring. Cut a circle of cardboard the exact size of the ring and glue it to the bottom of the zephyr ball so that the ring stands flat on it, and you have a cushion that can be made new in a few minutes when the silk becomes solled. A cushion made from a carved wooden ring or one of the many fancy and curious Japanese rings makes a pretty gift for any one. Hat Ornaments In ornaments on hats the latestesty is for amber, crystal and pearl. The last named have been used more in the foreign markets than in America, but it is expected that pearls will gain in favor as the season advances. They are a natural decoration for laces, maline and such delicate materials. Amber is a novelty surely and a very lovely one. The beauty of its coloring harmonizes with the new biscote and burnt orange shades. Amber is stunning on white and very effective in black, dark blue and brown. The crystal effects are strongest in bands. Bugle trimming and fringe are made of crystal, says Millinery Trade Review. It is also applied on some straws, on lace and, of course, on allover nets and chiffon. The continued popularity of the mopcap, the beguin or whatever one cares to call it, is responsible for the greater number of sales in this dainty trimming. It is also in demand for colfure ornaments, for scarfs or for dress trimming. Cloth Street Gowns For the street a great deal of leather color and reddish brown, as well khaki shades, will be used in cloth. In the silks the darker glace effects will be much seen. There is an olive which at a distance looks like black; this is very fashionable. The darker shades of peacock blue, going even into bottle blue, are very much seen. For more elaborate outdoor occasions that lovely shading which appears in gray at a little distance and upon drawing nearer contains all of the tones implied by the name, "gorge de pigeon" (pigeon's throat). Is very fashionable. These changeable effects are very fashionable this year. When Shoes Creak Nothing is quite so annoying as a pair of creaking shoes. To remedy this, soak the sole in linseed oil, using a plate or shallow pan, allowing the sole only to come in contact with the oil. The creak will disappear after a few hours and the shoes will last much longer on account of this treatment. For Indoor Dress. The indoor frock must be soft and graceful and distinctively a house frock. Chiffon, crepe de chine, lace velled with chiffon, permo weaves combining worsted with mohair in ripple, lustrous effect and the very fashionable new taffeta that is soft and satiny in texture are all liked for these graceful indoor frocks for the afternoon.

"He told me he was an old friend if my husband and as a favor to him he would take the case." Handsome Costume in Pewter Gray Cashmere, With Effective Contrasting Trimming. Pewter grey cashmere is selected here, with trimmings of black satin and black and white striped silk; pieces of the latter are let in on the shoulders of the Magyar bodice, they become narrower as they near the waist, then are continued off to a point on the skirt, which is otherwise quite plain. Piece lace forms the yoke, which is edged with a trimming of black satin, CRAFTSMAN this is also used for waist-band and to finish off the sleeves. Hat of Tagel to match, trimmed with a large satin bow. Materials required: 4 yards cashmere 42 inches wide, ¾ yard satin 20 inches wide, ½ yard piece lace 18 inches wide, ½ yard striped silk 20 inches wide, 1 dozen buttons. For the Little Laddle The very little laddle, just out of babyhood, wears a simple, boyish frock of stout linen, and an ideal frock of this type is of brown Holland with white trimmings. The chubby boy of five is particularly maily in a mildly suit of snowy duck, with chevrons and bo'sun's whistle and cord. At seven a sailor suit of dark serge or wool mixture, with embroidered sleeve chevron and collar and belt of contrasting fabric, will be the proper costume. At eight the small boy acquires conventional masculine garb and has his hair cut. Fashion for Flowers The woman who neglects opportunities for decorating her costume with artificial flowers is indeed careless. Never were made blossoms more life-like, whether of velvet, satin or gauze. All smart evening gowns carry a group of mixed blooms, or three orchids with ferns. The single American Beauty rose is a favorite, also the red poinsettias. Small flowers are not in fashion. extends a cordial greeting to the ministers of all denominations to be guests of the School for one week, beginning July 6, 1912, for the purpose of discussing the following and kindred questions: What is the sanitary condition?

Recorder Henry Lincoln Johnson Defends His Atlanta Speech. Anent the story circulated to the effect that the Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson, recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia, was opposed to the participation of the race in politics is stoutly denied by Mr. Johnson. It is well known that he is one of the leading men in Georgia and has done much for the advancement of the race along all profitable lines in education, business and among the large secret societies. As a member of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows he is recognized as a man of more than ordinary executive ability. He is also a successful lawyer and a member of the Atlanta (Ga.) bar. It is begging the question, therefore, to even suggest that such a man would be opposed to members of his race taking part in or exercising his legal right to participate in things politically. In reference to his recent speech in Atlanta Mr. Johnson says: "I was addressing a very large convention of both white and colored delegates and a large number of white ROY, HENRY L. JOHNSON. and colored spectators at the Orpheum theater, in Atlanta. I had observed that the primary mission of the Republican party was one of emancipation and that they had accomplished bodily emancipation of the colored race under the final decree signed by Mr. Lincoln in his emancipation proclamation; that the Republican party in Georgia must now address itself to the emancipation of the white people in Georgia from their seemingly inexorable mental and moral bondage. Prejudice and general prejudice and uniliciously endowed the state of Georgia with those natural resources the development of which would be best conserved under economic policies. The fact that fourteen colored men and one woman had been lynched in our native state in the past five months was proof positive of the mental and more thalmoid of some of the people in Georgia who control the state and that its only hope for disentainment lay in the benedictive policies and spirit of the Republican party, manifested under its laws and in their orderly execution that officeholding, as a recent Democratic paper had alleged, was not responsible for any of these outcasts that the matter of officeholding is not the aim and destiny of any great group and should not be its principles are the main things and officeholding merely insultant." THE COURIER. ON GENEROSITY A Sermon Thinketh no evil.—I Corinthians xiii. 5. It is to be regretted that the meaning of generosity has been almost limited of late to liberty, which is only a part of it. True generosity is a phase of that charity or brotherly love and enthusiasm for humanity described by St. Paul in the thirteenth chapter of First Corinthians. When St. Paul says of this brotherly love that it "thinketh no evil," he means that it is generous. In its primary meaning generosity is magnanimity, broadness of mind, largeness of soul, openness of heart. The generous man is not suspicious; he "thinketh no evil;" he is not on the lookout for faults; he does not grub for scandal; he is not too critical. Remembering his own innumerable fallings, he is lenient with others. No one would dare allow an acquaintance or a neighbor, let alone a professed enemy, make for him a cold-blooded catalogue of his faults, fallings, weaknesses, meannesses, vices, angularities and all other things that appear objectionable. Reading such a list would fill one with despair. We would rather stand before the judgment seat of God than before the judgment seat of men. We appeal from earth to Heaven, from the judgment of men to the judgment of God. We appeal because Jesus was offered a choice of punishment. "Let me fall into the hand of the Lord; but let me not fall into the hand of man." Even the tender mercies of most men are cruel. As one wishes to avoid being criticized, let him not criticise others. It is difficult to realize that to criticize originally meant to praise, and that when one spoke of criticizing a poem, a picture or a piece of music he meant that he was going to pick out its excellences and dwell on them and enjoy them and hold them up for admiration. Now one means that he is going to search for the flaws and ridicule them. Like many of our good old families, the word has sadly degenerated. The meanest form of criticism is the silent, covet sort of those who Dann with faint praise, assent with civil leer. And without sneering teach the rest to sneer; Willing to wound, and yet afraid to strike. Just hint a fault, and hesitate dislike. We should be more than merely just to people; we should be generous. Napoleon once said that he did not care whether people loved him or not, provided all acknowledged his justice. Justice is certainly better than unfairness, but generosity is better than either. Men may be divided into three classes, as unjust, just and generous. The unjust man wants all he can get by fair means or foul. The just man wants all he can get rightfully; and he is willing to concede to others their full legal rights. He says, "Render unto all their dues, but no more." He says also, "Pay me that thou oest." He prides himself on willingness to pay every pound of flesh that he owes; but he exacts every ounce that is coming to him. The generous man is willing to forego many of his own rights and gives to others more than they can claim. Generosity is justice tempered with mercy and loving kindness. We read in the epistle to the Hebrews of "the spirits of just men made perfect." They are just men who have learned to be generous; who give good measure, shaken together, pressed down, heaped up, running over, and then some. The generous man thinks the best he can of other people; he makes allowances, excuses; puts the best possible construction on their conduct—not the worst possible. He neither looks for insults nor goes around with a chip on his shoulder. Diametrically opposed to generosity is cynicism. A cynic is a man who flatters himself that he has found mankind out; and he is mighty proud of his discovery. He is a superior being, quite knowing, and has his face branded with an irremovable sneer. He believes in nothing and in nobody. He pronounces religion to be hypocryi, honesty a mere matter of policy, virtue only lack of opportunity to sin, and gentleness and humility only other names for cowardice. In his view no man is incoffruble; every one has his price. When he sees undeniable uprightness in anyone he puts it down to ignorance and inexperience. He maintains that it is unreasonable to pronounce any apparently good man honest, until after he is dead and his books have been examined and his letters read. The generous man not only "think-eth no evil" but he "rejoiceth not in iniquity." One always looking for integrity certainly rejoices in it. He gloots over a disagreeable discovery as carrion crops caw over a newfound carcass. His nose is built for bad odors. When he happens to find goodness where he expected evil, he is distinctly disappointed. He is a man not to be trigged, because one who takes such delight in discovering evil in others must cherish those same countries in himself. St. Paul says, "Into the pure all things are pure; but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is de- NEGLIGEE ACCESSORIES. The cult of the artistic negligence has brought with it strongly emphasized attention to all the little niceties of informal attire and when a woman has bought her gainly negligee robe she is only fairly started upon her extravagant career. A woman really cannot wear one of the silky, luxurious gowns over a petroleum not in keeping, and since concepts are dispensed with in hours of relaxation she must have brazerses filed." The generous man, however, is A noble brother. Whose nature is so far from doing harms That he suspects none. A proverb tells us to "believe every man honest until he proves himself a knave;" but the cynic says, "Believe every man a rascal until he appears to be honest, and then watch him all the more." Among statesmen there is a difference of opinion at present whether a nation in time of peace should prepare for war." But no one asserts that the principle should be applied to individuals. Society would be in a terrible state if every man went armed; yet we are going armed against our brothers when we are always suspicious and are on our guard against them. The fact is, most persons try to be worthy of the trust reposed in them, and to live up to our good opinion. More mistakes are made by not trusting people than by trusting them. We may say of generosity what St. Peter says of charity, that it "covers the multitude of sins;" for the generous man shuts his eyes when he can to people's faults and throws over them the wide robe of his charity, that nobody else may see them either. We may say also of generosity what St. Paul says of charity, that it "believeeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things." Believe, hope, endure. It is mighty hard to believe in a man who has deceived us seventy times seven. Let us then try to hope for the best. If even that is impossible, we can, as a last resort, endure all things in the silence of charity.—Lew. is Beeman Browne. NEW COLLAR AND CUFF SETS. the return of long sleeves for afternoon house frocks, the daintest of indoor collar and cuff sets are again to the fore and girls who always have on hand easily picked up needle work are providing themselves with a variety of these neck and wrist accessories. One very charming model in these sets has a collar which fits over a high or a Dutch-necked bodice. It consists of a short, circular, front-closing gulpe surmounted by a two-inch band, finished with a turnover of exactly its width. Worn with a high-necked bodice, only this turnover portion shows, while with a Dutch neck only the lower edge of the circular gulpe is concealed. The cuffs, extending half way to the elbow, are tumbler-shaped, that is to say, they increase in width very gradually from the wrist upward, and at their smallest or hand-edge, are finished with a turnover matching that on the collar, and, like the front of the gulpe, they fasten with cordage loops which fit over the tiniest of lingerie buttons and are no more difficult to manage than are the fastenings of a fine lingerie blouse. This model set is made up in the finest of Irish linen, in cambric or in lawn, bound with a narrow hem-attaching, with button-boiled sleeves. It is a tiny frilling of real linen. Itennes. It is also pretty smart, developed in batiste, latticed with the narrowest of lace insertions, and thrifty girls are making it up in lace and lace, as these need not be sent to a laudress, but can be washed in a hand basin, shaken out and quickly dried in the sun precisely as a fine handkerchief. Another charming model set which is quaintest when of heavy white linen and finished at the edges with a single row of stitching, with a high collar overlapped by a turnover, which at the back lengthens into a five-inch, sharply pointed V, and in front forms two Vs, one at either side of the band closing. The cuffs, very narrow at the inner side of the sleeve, have Vs which lengthen into points, reaching half way to the elbow. For an accessory set for a velvet frock, this model is best in heavy lace and may be made at home by using a linen or leather, and bordering them with a narrow edging, put on without fullness, and joined so that the finish will appear to have been woven with the main portion. If a line or a suggestion of color is desired with a collar and cuff frock or bodice set, the lawn or linen or lace may be embroidered with a colored silk, or net may be imposed upon satin of the desired shade as that very transparent fabric sheds rather than retains the dust, and accessories made of it may be worn any number of times before being cleaned. TO DESTROY INSECTS. This is the best time to wage successful war against insect pests which attack apple trees, such as the coding moth, woolly aphis and others. The creatures are fewer in numbers at this time and most of them are dormant. Exposure to the weather is a very effective weapon to use. The pests make their headquarters under the bark and on the roots of the tree. To expose them in many cases all that is necessary, is to give the bark a thorough scraping, which will remove the looser pieces under which the insects prefer to hide. A sharp hoe or bark scraper should not be used, but no harm can be done to the tree through an ordinary amount of pressure applied with a dull instrument. After scraping, the trees should be given a coat of whitewash, which will serve the double purpose of protecting the tree from weather in place of the loose bark removed and of killing many of the insects. The roots should be laid bare, and tobacco stems, of which a quantity can be obtained at a nominal rate from any cigar manufacturer, should be placed over them. The roots should then be covered again. for wear with the negligee, and the corset garters being removed, there must be round garters for the negligee toilette. Comfortable boudour shoes, dainty enough to dwell at peace with the dainty robe, are needed, and she must needs wear silk stockings to match such light-lined shoes and robe; and every self-respecting negligee toilette cries out for a boudour cap. To be rational absolutely is to be a little inhuman. CHURCH NOTICES Corner Wylie avenue and Elm street Sunday services 10:30 A. M. and 7:45 P. M. Sunday School, 12:45 P. M.

The Bedouins are a most alert and military race, and yet it is an undoubted fact that 'he quantity of food usually consumer by the gater part of them does not exceed six ounces a day. Six or seven dates soaked in melted butter serve a man a whole day, and he 'esteems himself happy when he can add a small quantity of coarse flour or a little ball of rice. In 1779 an Englishman describes the Russian gree as follows: "They are the finest body of men I ever saw. Not a man is under six feet high. Their allowance consists of eight pounds of black bread, four pounds of oil, and one pound of salt per man for eight dava." In 1854, when the Russians amused the soldier by standing against the back of the Alms, on the bloody battlefield of Alma, were found dead Russians with their proxies their knapsacks, and these proxies were "black bread crumbs in oil." Dr. Hamlin, who has resided more than twenty years in *Custantinople*, says the Turkish porters in that city eat bread made from flour scarcely bolted, fruits, curdled milk, of which they are very fond, rice cooked with some other vegetables, and about twice a week a little meat at dinner, which they eat soon after sunset. They never drink any sort of 'stilled or fermented liquor. Ontons and garlic are largely consumed by the Turks. In Classic Boston Signs seen in Boston, according to the Transcript: Placeau is a moving picture show; "Young children must have parents." In a barber shop window; "During alterations persons will be shaved on the back." Sins in a Tremont street store; "Empty boxes suitable for Christmas gifts." In a tailor's shop; "We dye for others, way not let us dye for you." In a coating store; "Three pants will look better on your legs than on our hides." A silversmith has a place next door to a restaurant. The former having put up a placard; "Jewelry of all kinds plated."

NOTICE NEWS FROM ALL OHIO CORRESPONDENTS MUST REACH THIS OFFICE NO LATER THAN TUESDAY NOON OF EACH WEEK. MANAGER. (By Mary Broady.) The union thankssaving services of the K. of P. lodge and the Court of Calanthe of Akron and Cleveland held at the Universalist church, was largely attended by the local citizens and a large number of visitors from Cleveland. Wadsworth and Warren headed by the Peterson band of Cleveland. The added band of Akron, Sir Knight Holland of Cleveland and the sermon by Rev. E. D. W. Bell, pastor of the A. M. E.

CLEVER ESCAPE OF CONVICT Prizener in the Conciergeer Daringy Gain the Freedom and Ascend- antage All the Time A prisoner extended the other day at the Seine Assembles to eight years' penal servitude made a sensational escape from the Conciergerie early this morning. When the cells were opened about 7, and the prisoners emerged for exercise, Romeuf came out with the rest. Taking advantage of the warder's back being turned for a moment, he got a fellow prisoner to let him mount on his shoulders, and then, with marvelous agility, he managed to top the top of the wall, nearly twenty feet high. The top of this garnished with a "chevaux de frise," but Romeuf, who is a plumber by trade, thought nothing of getting over it. By smashing nothing of getting over it. By smashing a window he made his way into courtyard and thence into Palais de Justice, the Conciergerie, and in a minute he was a free man. The utmost astonishment is expressed at any one escaping from the Conciergerie. It is famous as the prison where Marie Antoinette and many other of the Illiberious prisoners of the Reign of Terror were imprisoned before being led to the scaffold. In more recent times, Prince Napoleon, in 1853, and the Duc of Orleans, in 1859 were detained within its walls—Paris correspondent London Telegraph. A. L.

M. Edmund Perrier, a mer- ber of the French academy, has drawn _a pen sketch of a citizen of Mars, which looks very much like our water bullfrogs of the green color, mostly head, body and arms, with little legs and those of the pipe reed sort. Of the people of Mars M. Perrier says: “The low atmospheric pressure has produced a considerable development of the pulmonary apparatus, and con- -sequently the general character of these Martian vertebrates bas been In: fluenced by this development which Is ynknown on the earth. . The inen of Mars are tall because tlie force of gravity there'ls slight; blonde, be- causs daylight 1s less Intense there; with perhaps less powerful limbs, they have some of the characteristics of our Scandinavian type, although they probably have larger «skulls. Their large eyes (blue); their strong noses, their large ears, constitute a type of beauty which we doubtless would not appreciate except as suggesting a sv- perbuman intelligence.” The company of the Martians, .M. Perrier admits, would be objectionable to the elegant pedestrians who throng the French boulevards. ‘But Mars is the coun- try of beauty.” M. Perrier concludes, vand the,Martians know the most no- ble intellectual satisfactions and the suavest emotions." We are surprised- to find by what M. Perrier says of his study of the people and conditions tn ‘the planet Mars that there are no black people in the popylation. The ‘fact that they . are all blondes, with blue eyes, and with some of the ‘yharacteristics of our Scandinavian type, who live If the extreme north /and are descendints of the Vikings. the fierce Norsethen of European his- ‘tory, who were giants in their day, ‘contemporary perhaps with the giant | Anaks of the south, the ancestors of ithe Ethloplans, whose capital was Kar- ‘Dac, the ruins of enich are objects of ‘foterest in the Nile river countrs, Seems tabear out the statement (Hat {there ssp \no black people in the plan- et Marg Still, the matter ts of too jmuch {mportancq to decide without |exhaustve investigation.

Perrier will take kindly to our suggestion that he scrutinize more critically the color of the cuticle and eyes of the inhabitants of Mars, with | the view of ascertalning if there be or |be not any black people there. We do not care to believe that there are no black people in the planet Mgars, as ‘we may have to go through it on the way to the center of the earth, where /heaven 1s located, Mars really being the first station from the earth on the way to the sun. We would like to hhave the point settled before we are ‘to begin the journey.

Covington, from en intellectual point of vantage, 1s preeminent In this section among the cities of its size; an@ few there be ‘i any to equal it Jn general con- fusion, particularly among the young- er element of the male population. Wofully wanting in aspiration, there is naught of the finer sentiment to which appeal may be successfully made; and every deed performed, ap- parently travels toward destructive ends. The cause for these commis- sions does not rest, wholly, to thelr beginning; nor should they be whol- fy blamed for many things existing: Decause in many instances the umman- ly acts which disgrace the community and blight the future prospects of the coming generation are the inglorious fruits of hideous, examples. The pul- pit part of the responsibility for this cannot be exonerated from a preva- lence of affairs. It is not to be inferred that It advised or condoned it, but, the public has been educated to base religion upon sentiment; and without affecting it, left deeds to individual acceptance. Such teachings have giv- en birth to scandal mongers, slander- ers and friction breeders, among the old; carousers, drunkards, and . pro- fessional reprobates among the young. In most instances, voluntary actions bespeak the heart's desires; and what- ever one décomplishes from his own free will 18 the conjuring of his thoughts. “Nothing undefiled can flow from the source of impurities, what- soever inight be our opinions re- specting it: and it wouild be well to proclaim the truth in order to remove obstructions. it ts impossible to cor- ral the wandering sheep while the lambs within the fold are at variance with each other. The church Is in the individual, not the structure In which he worships, and whenever this les- sca can be properly instilled into"the minds, and become firmly tmbedded in the conscience of professed belfevers theory will give the right of. way to practice; and assumption, to reality. It very often happens that an ailment exists, and we know the cause there- of: but, we fail to apply the remedy, even though We be aware that the ap- plication would effect a cure.

The negroes of the state own 65.000 farms with a wotal valuation of $8,425,000. ‘There Is also shown a clear*gain during the last ten. years of $52,000,000. In oth- er words, the negro pogessed only ‘ubout $29,009,000 in farm property in 1919.
