NEGRO WAITERS PLAN NATIONAL CONFERENCE Hotel Men From Every Section Will Probably Meet Some Time This Summer THE SITUATION IS ALARMING New York—Owing to the wholesale discharge of colored waiters and the substitution of white help, a state of affairs that is being viewed with alarm by colored waiters throughout the United States, a national conference of colored waiters will most likely be held some time this summer, when the situation will be discussed minutely and plans adopted to bring about better conditions. Since the publication a few weeks ago that the colored hotel men of New York were regarding seriously the situation in New York city in which 300 were put out of the hotels and restaurants of Manhattan in 1911, colored waiters in various sections have been corresponding with each other relative to getting together for the mutual good of all concerned. The colored hotel men of New York are heartily in favor of the holding of a national conference this summer as are the waiters of Kansas City and other western cities. Referring to present conditions is the following letter from S.C. C. Jordan, president of the Waiters' Protective league in Kansas City, Mo. "Having read the article regarding the situation of the hotels in New York city toward the negro waiter, I beg to say that, similar conditions are spreading rapidly west, north and south. We are endeavoring to establish a National Negro Head Walters' and Side Walters' congress, and with co-operation of the Hotel Propletrators' association, we hope to establish a standard of service by which we can classify the service, thus making a more harmonious relation between the proprietors and servitors. We would appreciate your encouragement of our movement through your paper and would be glad to establish an agency in New York." The officers of the Walters' Protective league are: S. C. Jordan, president; George W. Hall, correspondent; W. R. Garett, treasurer; Edward Hudson, chairman of benefit fund; D. H. Collier, manager; L. A. Knox, attorney at law. BOARD IS ANXIOUS FOR BETTERMENT OF AVENUE Rips were plenty at the meeting of the J.P. Town. Board of Trade last night. The condition of Fifth Avenue, the tardiness in the Try street sower job and the resultant chinos in the paying and traction trackage were liberally scathed by numerous members of the board. Following passages of a resolution reciting conditions on the thoroughfare and the loss to citizens and inconvenience to the public resulting therefrom, a committee was appointed to urge the Council to act toward the settlement of street conditions, as well as to urge the Pittsburgh Railway to company to hasten with having its track from Sixth avenue to Tile street. The committee comprised Dr. J. P. Shaw, Charles C. Shannon and Attorney Bernard Feldstein. Cra. Treasurer Adolph Edis was present and defended the administration, declaring that the work was being completed as fast as weather conditions would permit. Some complaints were raised directed at the tra- pulation of company's service in respect to songs of the Fifth avenue. Answer: Resolution adopted called attention to a report that some of the company officials are opposed to building a bridge in connection with the proposed Haberman avenue run to the Sora Hills. The resolution reason for the proposed board position in alive at the Sora Hill Sdncise is that Haberman avenue, and its members, are under the control of the Sora Hills and a company of two or three members.

Patterson Says Race Must Change Mode of Life or Suffer the Fate of the Indians Cambridge, Mass.-The annual banquet of the Health Culture club of this city recently held in the Rush A. M. E. Zion church, of which the Rev. Dr. C. Fairfax is pastor, was the occasion for a large gathering of prominent citizens, educators and professional men and women, who are deeply interested in the work of the organization. Besides the principal speaker of the evening, Dr. Joshua A. 'Brockett, Madam Noble and George R. Margeton took part in the splendid literary program rendered. The banquet orator was the Rev. J. Andrew Patterson of New York, the REV. J. ANDREW PATTERSON. noted author, lecturer and psychophysical culturer. Dr. Patterson has given years of study and research on subjects relating to health conditions among the colored people of the United States. He has also made careful investigations from time to time of the death rate among our people as to cause, age and kind of disease and the sanitary condition of residence, whether city or country, in which large numbers of colored people live. Dr. Patterson's address was listened to with close attention. He said in part, "The signing of the emancipation proclamation by the immortal Lincoln was a long stride toward the colored man's freedom, but the sudden transition from the forced simple life of slavery into the unknown complex conditions and responsibilities of freedom carried with it a calamity to the race more appalling to contemplate than the passing of the American Indian. The Indian on the border line of civilization needed to adopt but few of the vices and customs of modern civilization to exterminate him. "On the other hand, the colored man is functioning right in the midst of a thousand vices, customs and conditions that will destroy any young race. And as a sincere student of this staggering question, being armed with irrefutable facts, I warn the colored people of America that unless something is done to stop this madening dance of death before the twilight of another century falls the nations of the earth will have walled the dirge of another lost race. The real facts concerning the true moral and physical condition of the race relating to the increasing death rate are little understood by ministers and teachers, who hold the destiny of the race, as it were, in their hands. "Not only is this generation innately inferior physically to the antebellum Negro, but for lack of knowledge the vast majority is not and cannot conserve its energy. In many sections marriage is sadly waning. Among those who are married aresion to rearing families is a scourge in itself that is blasting at the very foundation stone of the future race. "Of every 100 colored children born fifty die before the second birthday is reached. Is that all? No. Unmentioned thousands pass who never know an independent heart pulse. "Insanity is rapidly increasing among Negroes under twenty-five. Consumption, or modern tuberculosis, is becoming an epidemic almost as prevalent as the conventional bad cold. Already the young people under twenty-five are dying three to one white. "There are those who will tell you that all is well that there is no change of the race dying off. I ask as one having authority. What will the future be?" The speaker told of the wonderful work being done in the mind and body culture movement, as the new health culture, which principles. If applied would soon reunify the present condition of the race. The Pittsburgh Courier is on file Carnegie Institute Periodical Rooms. WATCH THE COURIER GROW. PITTSBURG. PA. MAY 18, 1912.

BISHOP SMITH SAYS MOHAMMEDANISM IS THE BEST Tells Conference Equality Proceps of Eastern Religion Makes Better Men NOTE OF WARNING SOUNDED The Negro, as he is today in Africa, has become more of a man under the Mohammedan teachings than under Christian, according to Bishop C. S. Smith, who is attending the conference here of the African Methodist church. Bishop Smith has devoted many years to the study of his race in Africa, Hayti, San Domingo and Liberia. Bishop Smith in his address today said the methods of the "Mohammedan teachers had created a tendency to make the Negro self-reliant, whereas the Christian teachings made him a cringing nonentity." This was chiefly due, he said, to the fact that the white man caused the negro to look upon him as a master, while the Mohammedan teacher regarded him more as an equal and taugt the Negro to bow his head only to Allah. "I reached that painful conclusion," said Bishop Smith, "only after many years of personal research. Christianity fell shopt in Africa, not because of any fault of Christianity, but because the exponents of the religion looked upon the white man as his superior and bowed to him as a master. And the preachers encouraged that. A note of warning against neglecting the Negro in the United States while propagating the faith in foreign countries was sounded by Dr. W. W. Beckett of New York, general secretary of missions, before the conference of the African methodist-episcopal church, which resumed sessions here today. Dr. Beckett commended the missionary work in Africa and other foreign climes, but added there was a broad field for the same kind of work at home. Dr. A. H. Harry Attaway, president of Edward Walters college, Jacksonville, Fla., declared that the furtherance of Christian education was the solution to the Negro problem. His views were inforced by Dr. W. A. Fountain of Norfolk, brought college, Atlanta, Ga.

Sociologist Speaks To a Large Crowd and Tells Nogrees To Protect Their Women Chicago, Ill.—Dean Sumner, the noted sociologist and chairman of the Vice Commission of Chicago, addressed a mass meeting of negroes held under the auspices of the Western league, organized for the protection of colored women, at the Odd Fellows' hall. Among other speakers was Mrs. Cecila Parker Wooley, the staunch friend and social settlement worker among colored people. Dean Sumner, after an introduction by Father Massey of the St. Thomas Episcopal church, immediately plunged into his subject: "How to save our colored girls." He stated that the subject of vice was not a race question, and he disliked very much to discuss it along those lines, but it is very evident that the moral conditions in Chicago and many others warrant immediate steps to eradicate vice and change the moral situation among the colored people. He gave in detail facts and figures showing the abominable conditions existing in Chicago from segregated vice. According to police regulations there are districts set apart for the practice of prostitution, and it is generally located in colored neighborhoods. Consequently, those who will not submit to their families being surrounded by such intolerable conditions are forced to move into more desirable neighborhoods; and those who are unable to avail themselves of this opportunity—which seems to be their only alternative—are compelled to remain with their young girls and children of a tender age, completely immersed in an ocean of vice and corruption of the most degrading sort. In one segregated vice district there are 1,475 colored children, and besides coming into unavoidable contact with the lowest and most degraded kind of prostitutes, thieves, robbers and murderers, they are permitted to frequent these resorts and run errands for the inmates. Such conditions are outrageous, intolerable and should not be permitted for a moment. Upon these facts Dean Sumner laid great stress, stating that such conditions would not be tolerated by white people for an instant. Moreover, there is a law upon the statute books of Illinois which prohibits white girls or women from working or acting in any capacity as a servant in a house of prostitution; while colored girls and women at any age beyond sixteen are permitted with the greatest of freedom to work as servants, he said. "The Everleigh club alone employs fifty-two colored servants, many of them girls and women. Is this right? Shall this crowning shame of the age be allowed to continue? Go unreubaked, unchecked without a vigorous protest from our leading colored citizens to the public authorities, the mayor, city council and the state legislature? There is no doubt but that such a law in substance is just and equitable. But where is the justice and protection to human morals in such a law as this? It is manifestly unjust, discriminatory, class legislation and therefore unconstitutional. It should be amended or repealed. "For the leaders of the race to supinely submit to the continuance of such a law, is an obvious resignation of their-inherent rights and privileges of citizenship." BISHOP SCOTT SPEAKS Kansas City, Mo—Bishop I. B. Scott, of the Methodist Episcopal church, the only colored bishop of that organization was principal speaker today at the general conference of the African Methodist Church. The bishop discussed the general growth of the church. FIVE CENTS A COPY NIVERSITY GEO. W. COOK Testimonial Banquet Was the Largest Function Of Its Kind Ever Given Washington. — The testimonial banquet in honor of Professor George William Cook held recently in Miner hall, on the campus of Howard university, was the largest function of its kind ever known in the District of Columbia. Covers were laid for over 200 guests, and the dining hall was crowded to its utmost capacity with appreciative friends of the energetic secretary of Howard university, representing the best brain and culture of the Negro race in the world. Professor Cook has been identified with the institution for thirty-nine years, and a more fitting recognition of his valuable service, efficiency and the esteem in which he is held by the people of the community could not be conceived. Hon. William H. Lewis, assistant attorney general of the United States, was tostmaster, and his speeches, abounding in rich witticisms and abounds of real eloquence by turns, justified the wisdom of the promoters in selecting him for this arduous task. Toasts that sparked with humor and carried information of much value, elogizing in felicitous and sincere fashion the central figure of the occasion, were responded to as follows: "Howard as She Was." Rev. Logan Johnson; "Our Guest as a Citizen," W. Justin Carter of the bar of Harrisburg, Pa.; "Howard as She Is," Professor Kelly Miller; "Our Guest as an Educator," Professor Dwight O. W. Holmes of Baltimore. To all of the many expressions of commendation of his efforts to place Howard in the front rank of educational centers and to exert his influence toward the advancement of civic righteousness Professor Cook feelingly responded, taking for his theme "The Two Seals," relating the story of how the university came to have two beams and describing the sublime spirit of human and national uplift for which they stand. His outline of the work that Howard has done since its forty-five years of existence was intensely interesting, and the larger portion of the historical data presented at first hand was new to many of the guests. His happy tributes to such eminent founders of Howard as General O. O. Howard. John M. Langston. Dr. Robert Reyburn and others evoked hearty applause. Professor Cook's address is voted by his admirers to have been the most comprehensive study of the university yet given to the public, and it marks the orator's high water mark in forensic quality. At the close of Professor Cook's speech he was presented with a beautiful bouquet of American Beauty roses, the gift of the ladies of Howard university. Just before he spoke the audience was keyed up to the spirit of the hour by the rendition of a song, "Howard-I Love Old Howard," by the Howard academy quartet-Messrs. Charles Howard, Charles W. Preston, Gonzalo James and Lynwood G. Kbgner. (Continued on Page Eight.)

The RING and the MAN WITH SOME INCIDENTAL RELATION TO THE WOMAN By CYBUS TOWNSEND BRADY ILLUSTRATIONS BY DEARBORN MELVILL COPYRIGHT 1909 BY NEFTOR DAVID & COMPANY A foolish young tenderfoot becomes fascinated with the bold, artful wife of a drunken prospector in a western mining town. They prepare to slope in a blindingly blized, as a confiscating-the-maudlin husband. He is shot by the wife, but the chivalrous boy pins a note to the body taking the crime using himself in their high-skinfled railroad station the woman's horse falls exhausted the youth puts her on his own and follows hanging to the stirrup strap. The woman thrusts her escort into a snow drift and rides on. Half-frozen he stumbles into the railroad station just as the train beard the woman away. The party-five-time teacher, the man, Gormy. He is a mult-millionaire in New York. He meets Eleanor Haldane, a beautiful and wealthy settlement worker, and co-operates with her. He has a strong sense of power for the relationship line and finds himself frustrated in piercer and track extension plans by grafting aldermen, backed by the Gormy. A very comfortable accident brings him a long life to his country home. Gormy announces that he will be mayor of New York and redeem the city from corruption. Mr. Haldane is a long-time law firm with a make-in-direct proposition to compromise the fight which the latter has been waging in the newspapers against the Gotham Traction companies. The man is the only man who is being the head. Gormy boldly announces his plan of campaign to Haldane. The Outs Would Fain Take a Hand. The political declaration of Gormly was the sensation of the hour; the sensation of many hours, in fact. It came at exactly the right time. The non-church going section of New York, from which the larger part of politics was unfortunately recruited—the truly good Christian being a man who leaves the doing of such duties to his ungodly neighbor as a rule!—had abundant leisure to read the papers on Christmas morning, and every paper in the city contained that same announcement which Miss Haldane and the party at the cottage had read in The Planet. Every paper contained also editorial comment then and thereafter. The administration papers ridiculed the proposition, endeavored to laugh it out of court. Other men possibly as high in character had announced themselves from time to time with similar platforms. Their announcements had created mild sensations, their campaigns had sometimes created more sensations; but the results had invariably been defeat. So the administration papers sought to whistle the new candidate down the wind of their disdain. Nevertheless, since George Gormly's money was as good as anybody else's in New York, they kept on printing his communications, in which his advertisements were alternated with his political manifestos. The anti-administration papers, and those which strove so far as newspapers could take a dispassionate view of the situation, were unanimous in their approval of Gormly's candidacy. They declared that his election would be the best thing that could happen for New York; they were also practically unanimous in their homelessness of his success. Gormly had carefully studied the situation. He was not disappointed in the least degree—and he realized that while such a proclamation as he had made would inevitably cause a tremendous discussion. It would have to be followed up by work, if it was to be more effective than a flash in the pan. He had learned that organization was the keynote of success, as overorganization was its death knell. He knew that the arrangement which secured all general principles, leaving the utmost liberty in details, was the one which was in the end bound to succeed, provided the factors upon whom dependence was to be placed were in any degree worthy of their responsibilities. He was also, aware that the native intelligence of the community, even allowing for the vast number of ignorant foreigners who were allowed without let or bhindrance to fill the city, was very high. The first requisite for successful campaigning, therefore, he decided to be education. Knowledge, as of old, is still power. The ideal method of enlightening the people to the seriousness of the situation and of convincing them of their ability to amend it was by word of mouth. Gormly had never been a public speaker. Fortunately he had plenty of self confidence, and he was quite capable of presenting a situation in a simple, businesslike, way, so clearly that even the ignorant could comprehend it. A few months only would elapse before the spring elections that would determine the issue. No matter how assiduously he campaigned, he could reach only a portion of the vast conglomeration that made up political New York. It would be necessary for him, therefore, to keep telling the same story in the different papers of the city to reach those who did not hear his voice, and to drive home in the minds of those who had heard what they had listened to. He was prepared to spend his money as well as himself for this end. Watson, one of the assistant general managers of his great institution, a tyro like Gormly in politics, but a man of great ability and acumen, he made manager of his campaign. The party out of power through its leaders declared that it intended to make him its candidate; other smaller parties proposed to fall in line. It was pointed out by those interested that indorsement by these organizations would provide Gormly with an organization and be of immense benefit in taking on his hands the details and minutiae of political campaigning, about which he was sup- ING MAN IN SOME INCIDENTAL ATION TO THE WOMAN MYRUS TOWN SEND BRADY IMSTRATIONS BY DERDOCARN MELVILL COPYRIGHT 1929 BY METROPOLITAN & COMPANY at once provide him with a respectable following, and, as they claimed, lend dignity to his position. The purpose of this political party, whose influence was considerable and whose ramifications were many, whose leaders were men of experience, was of course thoroughly well-known. The conference between these leaders and Gormly was short, sharp, and decisive. It took place in his own business office. The deputation was made up of a banker named Ponle, who had a certain prominence in municipal affairs through his connection with the national committee of the party to which he belonged, who was a brilliant financier, a liberal giver, and a valuable member of the opposition; Benson the real leader of the party, the political boss so far the outs had anything to boss; and Fitchett, an attorney as bright as he was unprincipled, who aspired to political preferment himself. The trio met Gormly in his business office. Poole was the natural spokesman. "We are," began Poole impressively, "a committee, I might say a deputation, from the board of management of our political organization, who have been appointed to—ah—interview you about the mayoralty situation." "We have," continued Poole with lofty dignity, "of course observed your announcement of your candidacy in the daily papers." Gormly bowed. "We have been struck with your peculiar availability for the office. Your large business interests, the fact that you are so well known to the people of New York, your undoubted propensity. A man in a suit sits in a chair, smiling and holding a pair of scissors. He appears to be in a relaxed posture, with his hands resting on his lap. The background is a plain wall with a doorway. M. H. Poole Was the Natural Spokesman. the evidence of good management and ability which we see around us, and—er—" "And in short, we have come here to proffer you our support, and to say to you that our convention which is to be held next week. will undoubtedly make you our candidate, and indorse your platform. And in fine we want you to lead us." "Your convention is composed of deputies from all the voting precincts of the city, is it not, who are elected at regularly called primaries?" "Certainly," was the answer. "Well, how can you three gentlemen, or your central committee—which has how many members?" "A hundred," replied Fitchett. "Exactly, a hundred. How then can you three gentlemen, or even the whole hundred of you, forecast the action of your convention which has not yet assembled?" "It's easy to see. Mr. Gormly," said Benson half pityingly, "that you don't know anything about practical politics. The committee of a hundred will carry out the will of the party because the will of the party will be the will of the committee of a hundred; and the committee of a hundred will carry out the will of this committee visiting you, because the will of this committee is the will of the committee of a hundred. If I say—I mean if we say—that our party wants you for mayor, you can bet your last dollar that you're the man it wants. See." "I see," said Gormly. "In that case why have any convention at all? Why have any committee of a hundred? Why have anybody but you, Mr. Benson, he stopped long enough to make the pause appreciable, "and your co-adjuditors? Why have any people, as a matter of fact? Why don't you and Mr. Liffey, who I believe holds a somewhat analogous position to yours in the other party, get together with two able co-adjuditors like those you have brought and settle the question what the people are going to have?" HE COURIER Well, Mr. Gormly, since you put it that way," said Benson coolly, "if I was a little stronger than I am, if this city wasn't so hopelessly in Charley Lifey's grasp, that's about what we'd do. Now, we think that you've got certain elements of strength with the people that'll sort of balance things. I don't know whether you can be elected or not. I'm speakin' frankly now, gentlemen, and as a practical politician; but I believe you're more apt to be elected than anybody else, if we can get a fair count, or count the ballots ourselves, which is more or less doubtful with Lifey in power, and therefore we want you for our candidate, because we think we can win. "Lifey has been in power so long that he ain't even decent. He ain't willing to take a fair, respectable graft; he wants everything. But when it comes down to talkin' business with the candidate in his private office, the best thing is, the whole truth. Certainly it's important from one point of view that we should win this year. It may give us more power in the national convention next year. If we can deliver the goods in New York city, why, our voice is goin' to mean something, our influence is goin' to be worth something, and that accounts for Mr. Poole's presence here. As for Mr. Fitchett, he's one of the brightest young lawyers we've got. He knows which side his bread's buttered on. He wants to be district attorney and run with you, and you couldn't get a better campaigner to stand by your side. As for me, all the power we've got, which I admit ain't as much as we'd ought to have, I control. I put it at your disposal. Now what do you say." "I protest," began Poole angrily; while Fitchett bit his lip, but managed to control himself better than the banker. "Gentlemen," said Gormly, "it will hardly be necessary for you to continue the interview further on these lines." "What do you mean?" exclaimed Benson. "I mean that while I am, of course deeply touched by your hearty and spontaneous promises of support in this coming campaign, and while I appreciate highly the honor that you A. H. propose to me of making me your candidate, I regret to say that I must declare your proposition." "What!" roared Benson. "You ain't goin' to run then?" "I haven’t said anything to that effect, have I?" "But," interposed Poole, "you can't expect to succeed without any organization back of you. Why, man, the ring that’s against you, the influences that are opposed to you, both financial and political, is something that you can’t imagine! "It requires much more than a candidate and a majority of votes to win an election." "The ballots have got to be counted," said Benson, "and the money's got to be spent. In common with all the resf of us, I read those accounts you're publishing from week to week, and it makes me slick to see so much good money goin' to waste. Not but what it's doin' some good; but a practical man like myself could administer it so much better. You could buy a voting precinct with what you spend on a single ad. Wastin' good money on the press! It's men you want to buy, not newspapers. That's the reason Liffey always gets the best of me. He's got more money than I can get, consequently he's got the men. But with your own contributions and the chances for success that you'll give us, there's lots of other rich men that'd be willing to take on our gettin' in power." "I am not one of these men, Mr. Benson. I'll take no chances whatever on your getting in power." "Weil, it's got to be Lifley's crowd or ours, and your fightin' Lifley's crowd from beginning to end. Therefore logically you belong to us." "I cannot see the force of your reasoning," said Gormly, "and I tell you here and now that while I shall be very glad to have the votes of any or every man in New York, yet I will be beholden to no political party in the city. I have entered this campaign as an independent. If the peo- ple wish to elect me, they can do so if not, not." "Why, I told you," said Benson pityingly, "that you might get elected; but you've got to be counted in." "If I am elected," said Gorby, "you need not fear that I shall be counted out." "You have to be a regular nominee," said Poole. "I shall be nominated by petition, gentlemen." said Gormly coolly. He pointed to his desk. "Look at that pile yonder. They are coming in every day." "Signed by women and children and cranks, I suppose!" answered Benson. "I have a corps of young men," answered Gormly, "who personally visit every petitioner, find out if he is a voter and if he really means what he says when he asks me to run. Every name is verified and registered." "Well, I'll be damned!" cried Benson in great amazement. "I am afraid if you continue in politics with your present views that you will be," said Gormly coolly. "As for organization, I have an organization of my own. We are discussing the issues and preparing to hold meetings and send out speakers all over the city." "Who's managing the game?" "One of my assistant managers in the store, Mr. Watson." "What's he know about politics?" "His experience compared with your own has been little, but on different lines. He is learning rapidly, however, and I think before you get through, you will find him worthy of even your own steel, Mr. Benson." "That's all very well," said the boss, greatly taken aback over the situation. "It does seem as if somebody got a head on his shoulders around here." "It might be concluded that I had myself," said Gormly genially; "but well nass that by." "But in spite of all these things, you'll be beaten as sure as fate. I tell you, you've got to fight the devil with fire. Of course, while I agree with these gentlemen here that purity in politics, which has been called an iridescent dream, whatever that means, is to be desired, and if we could win without money and without resortin' to the dodges that have made the party in power infamous, we'd be glad of it. "But as it is, it can't be done. Now, every man is supposed to be in politics for what there is in it. What you're in it for, we don't quite know, but admitting that you're more or less disinterested, so are we. Ain't that so, gentlemen." "Certainly, certainly, to be sure." "And therefore we offer you our assistance." "I accept your offer, as I cannot permit myself to be allied with any political party, or to be known specifically as the nominee of that party." "Mr. Gormly," said Benson after a long pause, "what's to prevent us from nominatin' you anyway, and makin' you the nominee of our party." "Nothing that I know of can prevent your doing such a thing; but nothing can force me to accept your nomination. "But Mr. Gormly——" began the banker. (TO BE CONTINUED.) LETTERS OFTEN INDISCREET. Lord Palmerston's Fall an Instance of the Way They May Wreck a Career. Letter writing has long been considered an art, but there are often times when the writers of certain epistles wish that they had been a little more discreet before posting the same. A great many lives have been ruined and careers wrecked all because of one discreet letter, which it would have been better not to write. A notable case of this kind is the letter which Lord Palmerston, in 1851, when he was minister of foreign affairs for Great Britain, wrote to the prince-president of France, Louis Napoleon. It was when Louis executed his famous coup'detat. Regiments of infantry, probably at his direction, swept the boulevards with rifle balls. The streets of Paris ran with blood and out of the crimson mist rose Louis Napoleon, no longer prince-president, but rather president for life, and soon afterward emperor of France. All Europe was horrified at this bloody leap to power, and no one more so than the queen of England. Lord Palmerston, however, admired the new emperor. Without consulting his official chief and much less the queen, Palmerston wrote a letter to the British ambassador in Paris expressing his approval of the coup d'etat. When the queen heard of this unauthorised action she was deeply indignant. She sent for the prime minister, and he soon afterward officially notified Lord Palmerston of his dismissal in the following words: "No other course is open to me than to ask her majesty to appoint a successor to you in the foreign office." All this on account of a letter. Lord Palmerston was one of the foremost men in the kingdom. But this one act of indiscretion was the end of his famous career. Equal to the Criteria The wives of Napoleon III's marshals played a great part during and after the second empire. When Marshal Bazaline was planning his escape from the Isle Saint Marguerite his wife assisted him in the plan and came in the boat to meet him. When General de Cavignac died in exile and disgrace on the Riviera his wife was determined that he should at least be buried in the family vault at Pere La Chaire. In order to accomplish her object, with the aid of a faithful servant she had the corps arrayed in huge travelling cloak and lifted into a railway carriage. With such a companion beside her, this woman made the journey alone, in defiance of the law. These women seemed to have been equal to any crisis in which they found themselves. Strategy. The farm boy was charging a dime to ferry the pretty summer girl across the stream. "You won't charge me, will you, sonny?" asked the close girl, coaxingly. "No'm." responded the lad with a broad amile, "old ladies are all ways free." And the way she "ponted" up a dime was a caution. THINGS --- (By Lewis A.

TEDDY EXPAINS BROWNSVILLE AFFAIR. For more than four years, Theodore Roosevelt has maintained a consistent silence on the discharge of the Negro soldiers at Brownsville, Tex., and that in the face of severe criticism on the part of the Negroes the county over; but yesterday he broke that silence and gave out the conditions and circumstances surrounding his action when the soldiers were dismissed. President Taft was using a few disgruntled Negroes against Mr. Roosevelt by having them magnify the action of Mr. Roosevelt when he dismissed the Negro soldiers. These Negroes were trying to create prejudice in Ohio against Mr. Roosevelt by shouldering Mr. Roosevelt with the full responsibility. This was too much for the strenuous ex-President. Knowing that he acted upon the report and recommendations of Mr. Taft, while Secretary of War, he declined to allow Mr. Taft to hide behind his own report, but brought him in the open by reading to his audience the report of Mr. Taft and the recommendation that the soldiers be dismissed. So long as Mr. Taft said nothing on the subject, Mr. Roosevelt held his peace and assured all of the responsibility coming to him as President; but when Mr. Taft schooled a few Negro orators in the art of mud-slinging and directed them against Mr. Roosevelt, charging him with doing in a summary manner what he, Mr. Taft, as Secretary of War, recommended, the Sterrenuous One opened the closet and exposed the smiling skeleton which has all the resemblance in the world of the President. The Negroes are not deceived. They know that it is not the office of the President personally to investigate every complaint and act without advice from the cabinet. They know that the action of Mr. Rosevelt, while President, was but a reflection of the will of the cabinet members, making the recommendation. And what is more, they know that President Tait never once said that the action of Mr. Rosevelt was unjust or without due information on the subject; nor has President Tait ever suggested the reinstatement of a single Negro soldier. If the action of Mr. Rosevelt as President was wrong, Mr. Tait knew all about it. Why should he recommend a wrong, and then, knowing it to be a wrong, acquiesce in it for more than four years. We are of the opinion that if Mr. Taft recommended the discharge of those Negro soldiers, and his own report shows that he did, he, and not Mr. Roosevelt, has betrayed the Negroes of this country. NEGROES WANT BISHOP. What is commonly termed the first genuine effort on the part of the Negro members of the Methodist Episcopal conference to secure for themselves a Negro bishop was made at Minneapolis last week, when the Negroes fairly took the floor of the conference by a storm of oratory and tact, such as they have never before displayed. Hereofore, they have made their plea with soft words and in gentle tones; but Rev. Wm. J. Lucas, chairman of the Mississippi delegation, resorted to a more effective measure. He offered a resolution calling upon the general conference to request the Board of Bishops to appoint a commission consisting of one minister and one layman from each of the general conference districts to consider the needs of the 325 Negro members of the church and to report not later than May 16. At the present writing we have not heard what the report of the commis- sion recommended, but judging from the complete triumph of the colored booteen on the conference floor, we conclude that something definite will be done. It does without saying that the race has men fully competent to represent them, and the demand they are making for a bishop of their own blood is entirely within reason and common justice. The brethren have the right idea: a fight to the finish on the ground of common decency and equality under the law. This spirit can not have too much encouragement, when properly put into force. We have compromised ourselves too long, and stood too firmly upon race modesty. What we want is a bishop, and nothing less will satisfy the race as a whole. Those brethren who have taken up the cause with such renewed zeal are worthy of the moral support of the entire Negro population. And let them have it. A HOME BEAUTIFUL The Negroes of Nashville, Tenn. have inaugurated something new in the way of social uplift, and the movement has taken form in an organization known as the Nashville League on Conditions, having for its purpose the cultivation of a higher taste for things cleanly and beautiful around the home. To create an interest in the work of the League, -a Home Beautiful movement has been inaugurated, and the committee in charge offers a set of prizes for the best and most cleanly kept home. Any person owning or renting may enter the contest, as it is called, without respect to the value of location of the home. This puts all of the housekeepers on an equal basis, and at the same time stimulates a renewed interest in the care and general keep of the home. The judges will decide upon the following points: The condition of the yards, the care and keep of the cellars, and the disposal of rubbish. While the league does not propose to devote all of its energies in this particular direction, it can not be doubted that this contest will prove beneficial to the housewives of Nashvillt, and hence to the citizens. ODD FELLOWS PARADE. Any Negro who saw the demonstration of the Odd Fellows on last Sunday must have been impressed with the necessity of a fellowship among the members of the race. These occasions serve better than anything else to prove the power of the Negro when once he is collected in a body. The three links that bind those brethren together should constitute but a small part of the great chain that should hold us as a people. Divided, we can do nothing; united, all things are possible, and there never was a time when we need unification more than right this very moment. The interest displayed by the brothren in uniform was born of the love they have for their order; likewise should a similar interest be displayed in behalf of the race, and that interest born of a zealous love and devotion. That all of the secret fraternities might combine into one grand body is not a thought too foreign, and an effort to bring such an organization to pass would not fall of its alm. We are now sufficiently advanced to see the effects of coming together, and a few more such demonstrations may mean the unification of all of the Negroes; at least in this part of the vineyard. A TIMELY WARNING. The Negro business man of Pittsburgh may well consider the action of the judge in Brooklyn. N. Y., last week, when a Negro was given a long prison term for defrauding his customers out of their money by means of fake business and false representations. As a race, our business career has just begun, and we are to be congratulated upon having reached that station in the business world where we can see the absolute necessity of patronizing our own men in business. But along with this cultivation of pride pride on the part of the people comes a corresponding obligation to the man in business. We can not hope to enjoy the patronage of our own unless we first decide to give them full value for the money received. This is one first obligation. No less important is the necessity for fair dealing and honest methods. The Negro business man of Brooklyn grew fat at the expense of his incredulous clients, and the record of the case against him show that his methods were reckless and unclean. Lost our Pittsburgh business men forget, and a similar scandal develop here, we call attention to the Brooklyn brother whose first aim was to eat rich, regardless of the wrongs committed against his people. --- SQUARE DEAL BY JUDGE That is a duty which every American or the white race owes to himself and to his white fellow citizens quite as much as he does to the Negro to see to it, so far as he is able, that the color of a man's skin shall not subject him to insult, oppression and injustice in a country which boasts of its democracy, its liberty and the political equality of its citizens is the opinion recently expressed publicly by Judge Edward O. Brown of the appellate court in Chicago. SUBSCRIBE FOR THE COURIER WATCH THE COURIER GROW. Dr. Frank F. Bishop Sergeon Dentist A GAS ADMINISTERED Bridge Work a Specialty DR.

Secretion and Banquet Women's Clubs The regular meeting of the 'Ducks' was held on Wednesday evening at the home of Miss Emma Whittler in Wylie avenue. On Friday afternoon, May 16, the Mite Missionary society of the Brown Chapel church held their regular meeting and transacted considerable business. After the session the ladies present retired to the dining of the church where they were royally entertained by Mrs. Mabel Brooks and Miss Annie Lewis. 3 The subject of this sketch is Mrs. Beulah Ella Mason who is the President and Founder of the Buelah Rescue Home for destitute colored women and girls, located at 29 Bogstgon avenue, Beltzhoover. She has done things that no other Baptist woman has done when she started a Baptist church in-Oakmont and held it until a minister was secured. During her chorege of this work she conducted three funeral services yet Mrs. Mason does not aspire to be a preacher. In 1900 Dr. Sephor organized a Bible class at the home of Mrs. Mason which grew and developed into an organization laying the foundation for the home for children now known as the Davis Home. This is well on foot and growing in interest daily with wide-awake women. Mrs. Mason felt safe to leave this work in other hands. Next turned her attention, after a time of time filled with wonderful activity to the establishing of a home to rescue women and girls. She has been assistant in her work by some clubs, juvenile court, persons philanthropically included and church organization. This home has cared for 12 girls and 35 persons outside of the home and during the work there four have been converted. The best purpose after all, while they have for their object the moral, mental and domestic training of those who commuter their care. The home is two years old and has accomplished this. What not may we expect in the future if the growth continues? The pounder of the home was born February 10, 1873, in Caroline county, Va. She studied all of the earlier years of her life to prepare herself for the work she has so bravely taken up in Life. She has been aided in her strugles by her husband, William Mason. They have lived here 17 years and are members of Good Home Baptist church. She was also the traveling directoress of the Woman's Auxiliary of the Union Baptist association for seven years. The wonderful, good accomplished and the still greater good mapped out her name do yet is an inspiration to her in the great work of the English Rescue Home—for it is not, the depths from whence we came but the heights to which we ascend marks the man or woman. This home was started in the living quarters of Mrs. Mason's home and has grown to its present size. OBITUARY Mrs. Charity A. Parker The many friends of Mrs. Charity A. Parker will be surprised to learn of her death, which occurred in Hays town, Md., on Saturday, May 11. She is survived by her husband, Rev W. H. Parker, pastor of Potter Street Congregational church.

Wooden Leg Joke Why is it as a writer in the Bell-ring points out, that the general sense of humor is stirred when anything humps to a man's wooden leg, such as its loss or a knothole coming in it, or getting it under the cars?

Ithaca, N. Y.-An Immense audience that completely filled the spacious music hall witnessed the exercises of the Ithaca Conservatory of Music in connection with the "graduation rectal" of Miss Clarice Jones of Washington, daughter of Hon. Thomas L. Jones, a leading member of the bar of the District of Columbia, on Friday evening, May 10. Miss Jones achieved a gratifying triumph and interpreted with skill and rare intelligence a repertory of piano scores embracing the most difficult productions of the world's most celebrated composers of classic music. She was assisted by Miss Alice MacPherson, violinist; Miss Sarah Maybury, accompanist, and by the conservatory orchestra. Miss Jones was not at all nervous and handled the responsive keys with a coolness and accuracy that surprised as well as delighted her tutors and fellow students. The recital ranks with the best that have ever been given at this historic institution, and Miss Jones was overwhelmed with congratulations at the close of her brilliant performance. She was the recipient of profuse and beautiful floral offerings at the hands of her host of friends. The incident is regarded as especially noteworthy from the fact that Miss Jones happens to be the only member of the colored race enrolled this season at the Ithaca Conservatory of Music, the musical department of proud Cornell university. To illustrate the magnitude of her triumph, it may be stated that Miss Jones' numbers at the plano included scherzo and rondo from Sonata A major (Beethoven); variations, B flat minor (Mendelssohn); Nocturne C minor (Chopin); Rhupdose No. 12 (Liszt); bacarole (Goddard); Caprice Espagnol (Mozkowski), together with a gavot (Raff) for two planos. Miss Jones being assisted by May Missbury. Miss Jones will be handed her diploma in June, her recital test having proved her proficiency in classic music, as demanded by the curriculum. It is likely that she will establish at Washington a well equipped conservatory of music for the instruction of colored students in the higher types of musical composition. a replica of the standard set by Cornell.

In classical history we find that even Socrates, that most distinguished sage, did not escape for he was nicknamed "Flat Nose" while Plato, more fortunate, received a flattering nickname, for he is called the "Athic Bee" a graceful tribute to his literary style. (A sermon for married people.) And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten—Joel, 11, 25. In his essay on "The Formula of Sanctification," Henry Drummond inquires half indignantly whether mechanical experiments are to succeed infallibly and the one vital experiment of humanity—the soul's growth in holiness—remain only a chance. He replies that the thing is incredible; that in a world of law and order it is not possible that corn should grow by method and character by caprice. In the same way it is worth our while to ask ourselves whether there is no provision in the moral and spiritual world for broken lives, shattered hopes, defeated aspirations. If we break a bone, nature provides for the mishap, and in time the broken bone, if properly set, becomes stronger than before. Our lives are quite as much exposed to mishaps, trifling and serious, as are our bones, and if no provision has been made for the refashioning of strained and broken lives, then God has been strangely unmindful of one of the primary needs of humanity. Now, it is a curious fact that those persons who pose as the high priests of realism—our modern novelists and playwrights—see small hope of restoration and restitution for broken lives, of which the world is full. When, for instance, the marriage relation succeeds to strain, and the husband and wife, disillusionized, are made to realize that life—even married life—is real and earnest, what hope do the modern novelist and dramatist hold out for them? Generally speaking, no hope at all, so far as the old relationship is concerned. The modern novelist and the modern dramatist are frankly pessimistic as to the possibility of human recovery and restoration. Apparently they do not seriously contemplate the possibility of husband and wife adjusting their difficulties, large or small; confessing their faults one to another, torsaking their sins, mending their ways—in a word, returning the marriage bond. No, all marital difficulties to the modern realist are fatal; the only hope lies in the formal repudiation of the old ties and the establishment of fresh relation with other partners. In the sonnibre lexicon of the realists there is no word but fail. In their anthology there is no paradise regained. Life for them is but a dreary succession of melancholy failures. The high and holy hope of redemption and restoration is not dreamed of in their philosophy. As a matter of fact, every sensible person knows that these so-called realists are not realists at all, in the broad sense of the term; that their picture is not a picture of life as a whole, but only of a small segment of life. Some men and women, indeed, who are weak and foolish, undisciplined and unreligious, act on the assumption that the difficulties of their personal life are insuperable and its fractures irremediable; but by far the larger number of men and women are accustomed to act upon the true principle, viz., the fact that it is possible and natural to atone for past mistakes in all relations of life, possible to overcome present errors, possible to avoid future occasions of falling. In a word, ordinary persons know that it is possible, under God, to recover the years that the locust hatch eaten; they realize that broken lives may be set as well as broken bones, it intelligence and skill and love and patience are brought to bear upon the problem. While the preacher is glad to know and to proclaim that it is possible, aye, natural, for life to revive and renew its strength, even while it "has crested long on a broken wing," he would much prefer to practice preventive treatment in this matter. It is true, of course, that men and women are often not physically fit for matmen and women are often not mentally, morally or spiritually fit for matrimony. And so they have to learn by experience what it would have been better far for all concerned if they had understood and realized at the outset Thus, young people start out with the assumption that matrimony is designed to yield human happiness. That is not wholly true, of course. Married life, like life in general, is essentially an education, and while the process of education may be made easy and pleasant, yet, as a rule, it is somewhat hard and painful. So no thoughtful person expects to be perfectly happy even in the soft fetters of matrimony. But the moment the married relation begins to make demands of people, begins to test their personality, begins to deepen and refine their character—in short, begins to do part of what it is designed of God to do—that moment some man or woman begins to cry out in indignant surprise or angry protest. It is all very foolish and very pathetic, the childishness of grown men and women. And the remedy, so far as there is a remedy, consists not is reading erotic novels and witnessing problem plays, which only inflame the fever of discomfort, but in the quiet realization of the obvious truth that while happiness is the normal accompaniment of married life, as of all life, yet pain is easily possible, too, and some pain practically inevitable, and that when pain and disappointment come they are to be borne bravely and ostensibly if possible in the LONG SLEEVEES SEEN IN THE NEW DINNER COWNS New dinner brooks show the long sleeve and this may be made of supple satin, but there is nothing incongruent or groggy about it, and it's most attractive feature is its freedom from any attempt to achieve starting results. In these dinner gowns the latest novelty is the wide velvet ribbon, circle, which is fitted in a bow at the waistline, and has the long end which THE COURIER. knowledge of the broad truth that it is good for men and women to be in trouble, and that if the situation be dealt with wisely and tenderly and patiently—always patiently—the years that the locust hath eaten may be restored. What, after all, is the good, the net, personal good—what is the real moral advantage of the separations and divorces of which our modern life has come so full? It is only seeking to evade what God plainly intends us to meet, life's normal difficulties and responsibilities; it is merely following the line of least resistance, which never did and never can lead to any worthy destination. "But," some one steeped in erotic literature will object, "we are made for happiness, and when we are not consciously, blissfully happy surely it is a God-given sign that we are mismated and are to look elsewhere for that sublimated happiness which is humanity's birthright." All of which is nonsense, pure, unadulterated nonsense, fit to be printed or acted, perhaps, but emphatically not fit to be lived. We men and women, as children of God, are not made primarily for happiness, but for duty. Do your duty faithfully, fully, cheerfully, sweetly—not grimly, stoically, doggedly, hopeless—and happiness will come. Happiness is not at the foot of the rainbow; it is in our own yards and homes and lives, as much happiness as we actually need. God does not arbitrarily give happiness to any of his children. It is the natural, automatic, inevitable reward of right living, of living according to nature, of fulfilling the conditions under which we live and move and have our being. Anybody can be happy who deserves to be. And further, it is true that happiness that has been enjoyed and lost—lost felt by our sin or folly—may be regained. God is too merciful to have it otherwise. The years that the locust haten may be restored, for in this world of sorrows, sin and suffering it is graciously, blessedly true: That men—and women too—may rise on stepping-stones. Of their dead selves to higher things. SOME NEW MODELS An odd feature about the new models is that one sees them worn with the hats that are supposed to suit them: for instance, an old blue taffeta dress made with short, round, flat panniers caught into a flat ruche and gathered in the front of the skirt, after the fashion of the eighteenth century, had a beige straw hat, very wide in the brim, trimmed with tiny roses of many colors, all of them eighteenth century in tone. Beautiful big buttons trimmed the skirt of this dress where the panniers were gathered, and the taffetas fell in a few straight folds in front and behind. The upper part of the corsage was in fine cream lace, and the lower part was bloused over a high, folded walst belt. Over the shoulders there was a wide revers collar caught in front into a dromming silk fringe motif. All the corsages show this wide bloused effect, with flat, wide collars forming revers, and all sleeves, whether long and tight to the wrists and over the hands or short to the elbow and even above it, have lace frills. One model had, indeed, frills from above the elbow to reach as low as the wrist, and very full, so that they were really more like flouces than frills. SALAD NANTOISE Two heads of lettuce, half a cupful of asparagus tips (cooked), one cooked crab, one hard-cooked egg, two ounces of smoked salmon, vinaigrette dressing and seasoning, parsley and chives. Trim and wash the lettuce, divide the leaves into small pieces, drain them well, and mix with the asparagus tips. Remove the meat from the crab, shred it finally and put in with the above. Cut the egg into slices, remove the yolk, and mix the latter with the vinaigrette dressing. Season the salad with salt and pepper and mix carefully with the vinaigrette dressing; arrange it neatly in a salad bowl. Garnish the hard-cooked white of the egg and smoked salmon cut into fine shreds, sprinkle with chopped parsley and chives, and serve. THE LITTLE LOAFER. The teacher was earnestly trying to picture the outcome of laziness and deliness. He drew a terrible picture of the habitual loafer, the man who hates work, and his ultimate fate. "Now, Charlie," he continued to a little boy who had been looking out of the window and whose mind was far from the lesson of the hour, "tell me who is the wretched, miserable individual who gets clothes, food and lodging and gives nothing in return?" Charlie's face glowed. "Please, str," he replied, "the baby." — Housekeeper. GUIDING HER THROW ARIGHT. A man who, with his wife, is employed on a farm in Shropshire, recently found himself in a bad predicament when, in attempting to evade the onslaughts of a savage dog, assistance came in the shape of his wife. When the woman came up the dog had fastened his teeth in the calf of her husband's leg and was holding on for dear life. Selizing a stone in the road, the wife was about to burl it, when the husband, with wonderful presence of mind, shouted. "Mary! Mary! Don't throw that stone at the dog.

INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (B) E. O. SPLILERS. Director of Even Village Moody Bible In- spirations. #694. LESSON FOR MAY 19. THE OLD LAW AND THE NEW LIFE. LESSON TEXT-Matt. 5:17-15. GOLDEN TEXT-"He that loveth his neighbor hath fulfilled the law."-Rom. 12. If there is any one thing we as Americans delight in, it is in enacting laws. We seem to have an insane idea that all the lilies of human life can be cured by legislation. There seems to be a correspondingly greater carelessness in the matter of law enforcement. Jesus did not found his kingdom upon a multiplied number of "Thou shalt not," of merely negative enactments. He took the old Divine law and "fulfilled" i. e., filled it full with life. He put purpose, life and vitality into that law. He transformed it from an outward formal observance to an inward heart motive. At the outset of this lesson Jesus not only says that he will obey the law of Moses and the admonitions of the prophets, but that those same principles shall apply in the hearts of the citizens of his new kingdom. That moral order which is in accordance with the Divine standard is still to be observed. Christianity gives no license to its followers. The righteousness which is of Christ does not lessen our moral obligations. Jesus says that not the least "jot or title," the smallest part of a Hebrew letter, the "dotting of an I of the crossing of a T" shall be set aside. They must all be realized in the lives of his followers. Responsible for Teachings. In order to emphasize this still further, he told those whom he calls and appoints to his service that they shall be held responsible for what they teach, as well as what they practice, with regards these commands. To teach men to break one of the very least is to become least in his new kingdom. To obey and to teach others to obey is to become great in this new kingdom. Such is the importance he places upon the Old Testament teachings and his statement as to its authors. Let us beware reading into his words any meaning that shall set aside this portion of Holy Writ, or that shall suggest any question as to their accepted authorship or authority. But Jesus was also aware of the danger of outward obedience or mere perfunctory fulfilment of that law together with the myriads of traditions that had grown up with it. Hence it is that he so specifically warns his followers" that their righteousness, i.e., right relations, must exceed that of the Pharisees whose loyalty to the law and to tradition is so famous. His followers must keep not only the form but the spirit also, and so he goes on to illustrate. Beginning with an old commandment, "Thou shou not kill," he shows that is that the outward, final act of murder is but an outgrowth of the spirit of a man's heart, hence he who hates his brother man is in danger of, i.e., already in the power of, those forces that in their culmination will bring him before the tribunal. Anger, contempt, condemnation ("thou fool") all of these are unrighteous, they are criminal, and the sentence of death already rests upon him who will not repent of these things. Nothing more clearly reveals the state of our hearts than the way we speak to or about others, whether our speech be full of love or hate, selfishness or generosity. The difference between the one who hates and he who kills is only accidental and not essential. "In danger of hell." Jesus clearly indicates in all of his teaching a future state of punishment as well as one of bliss, and granting that these words are only symbolical, of which we are not convinced, we must pray to be delivered from the reality. These words are of the merest nonsense if they be not true, and certainly we cannot accuse Jesus of jesting nor suggest him to be a fool (lacking in knowledge) as he speaks upon so serious a subject. When we speak contemptuously or flippantly upon the subject of hell we are reflecting upon the wisdom and knowledge of Jesus. Jesus' Philcaophy Simple. "Rememberest thy brother hath aught against thee." The philosophy of Jesus is perfectly simple. If anger is criminal then he who is guilty must of necessity become reconciled to that one whom he has offended. Not merely that we are to forgive those who have wronged us, for that is not such a hard matter. But we must get right with our-brother who has aught against us before our gifts will be acceptable unto God. Some one has said, "It is far easier to give up a coin than to give up a quarrel. It is easier to lay down a generous offering than to lay down a grudge." This requires haste, we must agree with our adversary quickly or else he will turn upon us and presenting his righteous cause before the tribunal bring upon us a judgment for our anger, our censoriousness, or our condemnation. Once thus brought before the judge, be it an earthly tribunal, public opinion, or a loving God, our opportunity is past and we shall be obliged to pay to the uttermost, even so small a part as a farthing—about two-fifths of a cent. Of course we know the difference between a man having a grudge against us and his having just cause or claim against us. We cannot control the hearts of others, but we can all just cause our claims aright and then forgiving his grudge even seventy times seven, we shall find our offering not only acceptable in God's sight, but a sweet smelling savour as well. It is because of a lack of adjust- ment right here that so many of our prayers are not answered. We must settle these just claims sometimes; we do it "quickly." CHURCH NOTICES Bethel A. M. E. Church.

Longfellow was one of America's writers who married a heroine of his story. His second wife was the heroine of "Hyperlon." The tragedy of his life happened when she was burned to death in 1861. As It Sounded to Him "I think," said Mrs. Cumrox, who was arranging a musical programme, "that we will have a mezzo-soprano." "All right," replied her husband "Don't bother me about it. Go ahead and see an architect." Mean Things! Mrs. Henpecke—"John, why are you reading the marriage notices?" Mr. Henpecke—"I just want to see if there isn't somebody married I don't like." —Puck. Her Artistic Appetite "The young lady seems rather fragile," remarked the observant man. "Yes," replied Miss Cayenne; "she has one of those artistic appetites. She doesn't care what kind of patent food is in the box so long as the picture on the label is pretty." Doubting Tom. "Young men believe in nothing nowadays," says Mrs. Ramsbotham, with a deep sigh. "Why, there's my nephew, Tom, who was brought up as a Christian, and now he's an acrostic." Not Those Two. Silicus—"Do you think a man can afford to indulge in two juggles at the same time?" Cynicus—"Not if they happen to be a wife and a chained juggler apperette." When Friendship is Most Dear. As the years succeed each other we begin to find that there is nothing in the go valuable as Friendship. ERTURDAY. MAY 48. 1672. = SRTURDAY. MAY 48. 10:2. — SECRET SOCIETY NOTICES fano LODGE OFF.

Theory and experiment must go hand In hand, and much depends on ofe;as much at on the other, not meely on its accuracy but also upon its hature. Hundreds of experiments may, bé made, which, however, not- witistanding their refinement and accuracf, contribute ttle to the march of human progress in the right @irection: ther may of course in ages count for mucb,-but tbe cbief thing fs that the experiment should be of the right kind, and it is often desirable that ax much time. if not even more time, should be srent in deciding upon the right thing to he dene than in doing that thing itself Ore bad theory is often worse than ten bad experiments, because eren if these are properly carried ou:, ther may ret. if based uron false notions, add little or nothing, If not ta the store at least to the advancement ¢f knowledge: and count almest for as I:tle as the one bad experiment whether bared uron theers or 20t— Jobn Butler Rurke.

(Continued From Page One.) children from the most densely populated Jewish districts in the United States, according to the census reports." Miss Temple then related a little incident of a Jewish boy who had forgotten his cap and when he came to the lunch room rather than eat with bare heads tied a tassel chief over it, so had he been trained to stick tenaciously to his teachings." But as they grow older they seem to drop the custom in the school," observed Prof. Anthony, we have 18 teachers in this building and 8 Jewish teachers. Our aim is to take care of all activities—the industrial training—domestic science and wish we could manage a play ground, which we can" want of space. We try not to "se offense to any race or creed as it might offend the parents and start factions among the patrons. In this "milk kitchen we have an average attendance of 225 per day—about 40,000 lunches a year and 100,000 items of food used in a year. I remarked about the wonderful self-control, all things taken into consideration. Prof. Anthony said "that is true and there is a reason. These children have to teach their parents and are, virtually speaking, thrown out on their own resources—hence they catch the American spirit early of gohead and some of the teachers find them just a little too self-reliant for easy control." The teachers also share the "Penny Lunch" while no one except the school children are able to secure the lunch, yet any thing left over always finds its way into the home of some poor family in the neighborhood and there are numbers of them in this district. I think it one of the most interesting features of the school and one of the most needed for a healthy body is the only sure way to develop an equally healthy mind. Its work is plain, good results already noticed here, as there is only one other in the schools of the city in operation and that is at the Fort Pitt school. HOMESTEAD Gadden Owing to the illness of his father-in-law, Rev. Townsend, Rev. C. R. Goggins left on Wednesday, May 8, for Manche, Ind., where his father-in-law is pastor of the Methodist church. It has been reported since the Reverend left and that his father-in-law very much improved. Owing to Rev. Goggins absence Tucker Clark, a local breeder of the church, filled the vacancy with an inspiring sermon, while a novel local preacher of Bethel A. M. E. preached Sunday evening. Rev. Goggins will return about May 15 or 16. Cark's Memorial Baptist Church. Last Sunday, as daily day at the church, despite the rain the service was well attended, both morning and evening.

Kendall's Address. One of the truly delightful treats of the evening was the graceful and encouraging address of the Hon. N. E. Kendall, member of congress from the "Burton district" of Iowa, who was present as a special guest, coming at the direct request of his friend and alumnus of I. Howard's law department, Mr. G. II. Woodson, now a practicing attorney in the state of Iowa. Mr. Kendall saw in this gathering a promise of great things for the Negro race in the future. He believes that color prejudice is gradually disappearing as the black man gives continued evidence of his ability to cope with the best brain and brawn of America and is getting hold of the elements that make for higher civilization. He said he would not have missed this occasion for anything, as it was a distinct "eye opener" to him, well acquainted as he is with the colored people in many sections of the country. It was his final suggestion that the young men and women who come to Washington to secure advantages in education not obtainable elsewhere go out into the west and south and carry their cultivated talents to those of their people who stand in the greatest need of their illuminating touch. Congressman Kendall struck a popular chord and was cheered to the echo. The closing feature of the program was an original slit, "Facts and Figments," by Messrs. Robert A. Pelham and Shelby J. Davidson, assisted by Mr. Herbert D. Myers, who operated the lantern and slides used to illustrate the points brought out by the humorists. Many familiar scenes with which Professor Cook was connected in his work at Howard university were shown to a decided advantage, including portraits of the university workers. The portraits of Dr. W. P. Thirkeld, Hon. J. C. Napier, Dr. W. C. McNeill, Dr. C. Sumner Wormley, Dr. W. A. Warfield, following those of General Howard and Professor Cook, were given a hearty greeting. ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION'S SEVENTH ANNUAL MEET Campus of Howard University Selec- ed For Big Scholastic Event. Washington.—Much interest is being manifested in college and high school circles in this city on account of the seventh annual meet of the Interscholastic Athletic association, which will take place on the campus of Howard university on Memorial day, May 30. The meet promises to be the best the association has ever had. There will be eleven track and field events for scholastic athletes, four open handicap events, and relays will be arranged to meet the needs of those who attend for spectacular races. There will be no elementary school events in this meet as formerly, as the Public Schools Athletic league will hold outdoor field games June 8. Two secondary school championships are involved in this meet. The scholastic championship of the middle Atlantic states and the High school championship of the Public Schools Athletic league of this city are at stake. The local schoolboys are keyed up over the event, as it is expected this year that the competition will be closer than ever, and the outcome is much in doubt. The strongest appearing contenders seem to be M Street, Armstrong and Howard academy. Tech has captured honors for two successive years, but this year Mr Street High seems to have a good chance to take over the championship. Captain Burwell of Armstrong seems to have the field all to himself in the 100 and 440. Roscoe Taylor and Ira Warf are stronger and more experienced and should be able successors to Otis Walker. Duckett, a freshman, and Hunt. a junior, seem destined to finish among the leaders in whatever they start in. Randall of M street high, Logan, Johnson, Miller, Dickinson and Loften are a few whose ability is most marked. It is confidently assumed by the M street coach that Randall will set new marks in the shot event. Dickinson and Miller expect to score high in the events. Howard academy boys have been so much overshadowed by collegiate events in the past two or three years that a true line on the preps is not obtainable. This year, however, they are branching out on their own hook in a manner that betokens surprises. Baltimore promises to be in line this year with a number of dark horses. A new physical director is putting a lot of life in things ever in the Monumental City. Local boys are planning to keep the Dunbar boys of Baltimore from having such a walkaway in the open events. The events are 100 yard dash, 220 yard dash, 440 yard run, 880 yard run, one mile run, 120 yard high hurdle race, 220 yard low hurdle race, running high jump, running broad jump, shot put and one mile relay race for scholastic athletes. For open/athletes there are a 100 yard dash, 440 yard run, one mile run, handicap and 100 yard run novice. Gum From Seaweed.
