THE PITTSBURGH COURIER. ROOSEVELT DELEGATE HAS A NEW SOLUTION VOL. III. NO. 24. ROOSEVELT HAS A NEW WILLIAM H. COLEMAN, Clerk of Courts Invents a New Plan of Representation THE SOUTH IS REDUCED William H. Coleman, clerk of courts and a Roos-level delegate to the Republican national convention from the Thirtieth congressional district, one of the most vexatious problems that has ever come before the national gatherings of the party. In the coming convention at Chicago, Coleman will present his solution detail. If it is adopted it will completely change the method of party representation. Discussing his plan today, Coleman made the following statement: "It's my purpose to introduce in the Republican national convention a resolution to change the basis of representation I believe, has the spirit of originality, and is, in my judgment, for compromise between the present system and one based purely upon party strength." This resolution will provide for one delegate from each congressional district within the various states of the union and one additional delegate from each of said districts for 10,000 Republican voters or majority fraction that will be the last preceding presidential election. In abolishing the delegates at large and in retaining the congressional district as the unit of representation, it differs from the usual compromises and in these respects an improvement, in my judgment, over the Bourne resolution that was defeated in the convention four years ago. The effect of the resolution will be to materially reduce the delegation from the sole states, while affording the Republican voter in that section as well as every other section of the country an opportunity to vote directly for at least one delegate, and at the same time balancing any excessive representation with bigging the Republican section extra representatives in proportion to the Republican vote. I believe this resolution affords a solution to the question of representation which has been a troublesome one for a number of years, proaches as good as partly repays the circumstances surrounding the situation permit. An important feature, especially in view of the success of the presidential primaries held in various states last year, is the retention of the congressional district as the unit of representation. "I believe such a resolution when properly understood will receive the support of a majority of the delegates to the convention, as it approaches the real end aimed at—fair and equal representation—with the desiring the Republican voter in any section of the country of the right to vote directly for his party representatives."

What more should an advertiser desire? Get busy —(Manager.) HOMEWOOD MERCHANT'S ABSURD ADVERTISING Business Man Who Made Success Through Negroes Now Opposed To Them Negro citizens of Homewood are up in arms, and rightly so, on account of an ad. published in the "Homewood Booster" for the week ending June 1 in which one Nicholas, a baker, at 619 Homewood avenue, sets forth that the "Nicholas Bakery is owned and operated by Americans exclusively. No cheap foreign or Negro labor employed in the making or delivering of our high grade bakery products or ice cream." Many of the old residents of the Seventh and Eighth wards will recall that the elder Nicholas (father of the present baker), for many years had a bake shop on the northern corner of Pasture alley and Fulton street; that his business became so extensive through the patronage of the Negroes of that district that he was compelled to buy the property at the southern corner of Pasture alley and Fulton street, where he conducted a lucrative business for a great many years; that an addition to his bake shop he had a hui pover his property which he rented out to Negroes for lodge and other purposes. Many of them recall as well the Nicholas who now advertises in such manner. Perhaps he thinks he can well afford to set out such advertisement after his father paved the way for his success and amassed a lot of money which found its way into his business coffers from the pockets of the very people whom he now boasts has not part in the making or handling of his products. Nicholas has lost sight of the fact, or perhaps never knew, that the fact that Negroes handle food and food stuff does not detract from its quality, and that Negroes handle food stuff for the leading cafeteria in the Park Liberty district, and in its preparation and serving that he is incapable of handling under any circumstances. Under such conditions as these the time would seem ripe for the launching of a Negro enterprise along these lines in the Homewood and East Liberty faller districts. Nicholas has prospered through the patronage of the forebears of some of the residents of Homewood; now he comes boltly out and shows his attitude—shows that he is opposed to Negroes—forgetful of the ladder by which he climbed to his present business position, perhaps not directly but through his father. Such men as Nicholas should be taught a lesson; lessons are the more lasting when the pocketbook is affected. Get together Homewood folks and administer such a scathing rebuke, to this man that none other will attempt such high-handed southernism in a northern community. If you allow Nicholas to get by unburied, you cannot tell how soon some other business man will resort to the same tactics, ACHIEVEMENTS AND GROWTH OF THE RACE ACHIEVEMENTS AND GROWTH OF THE RACE Since the Negroes were freed they have increased from 4,000,000 to 11,000,000. It would be nearer the truth to say 20,000,000 of we include that large body of persons with African enforcement who are successfully passing for white persons. Negroes own today $600,000,000. They have 135 private high schools, 30,000 teachers, 82 banks, about 500 newspapers and periodicals. They have decreased illiteracy 47 per cent. They have 1,500 lawyers, 2,500 physicians, several thousand clergymen, 149 wholesale houses, 9,008 retail merchants, 1,186 manufacturers and 2,000,000 children in the schools.

TRUITT'S HIGH STANDARD AS A PHYSICIAN Enjoys the Honor of Being the First Colored District Doctor in Philadelphia HAS THE CONFIDENCE OF ALL Without doubt one of the most successful young physicians in Philadelphia is Dr. Berton C. Truitt. He is a native Philadelphia and was born in 1886. He received his elementary training in the Philadelphia public schools and the Northeast Manual high school, graduating from the latter institution at the head of his class and winning a competitive free scholarship to the University of Pennsylvania. After graduating from the medical department of the University of Pennsylvania in 1908 he took the civil service examination for resident physician of the Philadelphia hospital. He was rather successful in making the eligible list and received an appointment, but declined in order to become chief resident physician of the Frederick Douglass Memorial hospital, being the first resident physician of the new hospital. In August, 1911. Dr. Truitt was appointed city physician of the Seventh DR. B. C. TRUITZ ward by the board of health of Philadelphia. He enjoys the honor of being the first colored district physician in Philadelphia. Dr. Truitt is one of the most popular young men in the city and enjoys the confidence of all classes. He is secretary of the Philadelphia Academy of Medicine, one of the oldest and most useful organisations in the city. He also serves as secretary of the Professional club, composed of the leading colored men of the professions, as well as being the president of the La Maita club, a club of the most refined young men socially in the city. Dr. Trutt still serves on the surgical staff of the Douglass hospital. He is the medical director of the Rellable Mutual Aid society, as well as medical examiner for the Keystone Aid Insurance society, probably the best established insurance society in the state, and also serves as house physician to the Association For the Protection of Colored Women. PAYS TRIBUTE TO AFRO-AMERICAN MUSIC PAYS TRIBUTE TO AFRO-AMERICAN MUSIC artists and musicians who have won fame in their profession are constantly giving encouragement to colored men and women who are striving to make themselves proficient with the paint brush and the musical instrument. Speaking of the possibilities of the Afro-American in music, Mr. Walter Damrosch recently paid the race this compliment: But if proof positive of a soul in the Negro people should be demanded it can be given, for they have brought over from Africa and developed in this country, even under all the unfavorable conditions of slavery, a music so wonderful, so beautiful and yet so strange that, like the gypsy music of Hungary, it is at once the admiration and despair of educated musicians of our race. Unique and inimitable, it is the only music of this country, except that of the Indians, which can claim to be folk music. In it the Negroes pour out their joy and their sorrows in naive but wonderful moving fashion. Therefore, in the face of such testimony of emotional and aesthetical beauty, who dare deny their wider future possibilities in the great work of liberation of mind and soul which is now going on?

The lodges were in command of Grand Chancellor B. G. Collier and made a magnificent showing. The order formed at the Masonic temple on Locust street and marched with the Second regiment, under the command of Colonel H. G. Scroggins, and, headed by the famous Elks' band, proceeded out of Locust street to Broad with the Second Regimental band of Knights of Pythias following, with 700 knights neatly attired with Prince Albert coats and salik hats. When the procession stretched out on Broad street it reached from Locust to Fitzwater, and, with drums beating, flags and banners flinging, it was conceded that it was one of the greatest demonstrations of colored men ever witnessed in the city. The line was perfect, and the conduct of the members was in keeping with the order. Here six years ago this organization was practically unknown, but under the matchless leadership of Grand Chancellor B. G. Collier it has progressed to the front rank of fraternal organizations. The pet feature of this organization, of which it boasts, is its endowment department, created through the efforts of the grand chancellor in 1910, during which time the fund of that department has amounted to $18,385, and since July, 1911, it has paid out $5,050 in death claims to windows and orphans ranging from $50 to $300. Arrangements are being made for the next grand lodge session, which will convene in this city on the fourth Tuesday in July. It is expected that the demonstration of the grand lodge on the 24th of July will eclipse that of previous demonstrations. The First and Second regiments will give a dress parade in the afternoon of the 24th at Washington park, Philadelphia, and an exhibition drill in the evening. The program rendered at the recent celebration was admirably arranged, and the dignitaries of the order were in evidence. Sir E. J. Waring, master of ceremonies, acquitted himself nobly. The climax came when Sir N. L. Young pictured the grand chancellor in his magnificent address in a manner that made the grand chancellor concede that he had raised the fence too high. The address of the grand chancellor on the order was timely and to the point. The annual address was delivered by the Rev. C. W. Gaines, who paid a glowing tribute to the members and officials of the order. MRS. M. M. GATEWOOD DEAD—SHORT ILLNESS MRS. M. M. GATEWOOD DEAD—SHORT ILLNESS Mrs. M. M.

BIG SUM FOR THE BAPTIST COLLEGE BIG SUM FOR THE BAPTIST COLLEGE Notwithstanding the prevailing high price of fool, clothing and fuel, the colored people raised the neat sum of $15,000 for the Atlanta Baptist college within the past year and a half. The school freely recognizes the merits of Afro-Americans in every department of its work. There is no subterfuge or red tape about its willingness to give the race a square deal.

MADE FOR SPECIAL PURPOSE Washington.—A large and beautiful American flag, 20 by 10 feet, will be unfurled from the flagpole of the new $100,000 Odd Fellows' temple in Atlanta, Ga., on the day set for the opening of the session of the biennial movable committee in September. It will thereafter continue to adorn that historical structure as a permanent patriotic decoration. The flag is made of the finest bunting and manufactured expressly for the purpose mentioned. It is to be the gift of General Henry Forrest of Washington, a prominent member of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows. He enjoys a nation wide reputation as a philanthropist and public GENERAL HENRY FORREST. spirited man of affairs. The charming banner has been shipped by express to the officials of the order in Atlanta2 ready for display in September in connection with appropriate dedicatory ceremonies. Before sending away the precious trophy General Forrest conceived the idea of dedicating it here and with characteristic generosity invited a number of congenial friends to assist him in the performance of this interesting function. The affair took place the latter part of May in the spacious headquarters of the Odd Fellows' Journal. An elaborate luncheon was served by Caterer Emanuel Murray, and the welkin was made to ring with wit and eloquence during its discussion. Associate Justice W. L. Houston acted as toastmaster, and among those who spoke in eulogy of the whole souled host and of the cause which he sought to honor were Messrs. H. P. Slaughter, editor of the Odd Fellows' Journal; J. N. Golus, manager of the Colins Printing company; R. W. Thompson, general correspondent; Emanual Murray, W. H. H. Terrell and others. General Forrest responded in a felicitous vein. $^{4}$ A handsome necktie was presented to Mr. Thompson by the host. A telegram was dispatched to Acting Grand Master Henry Lincoln Johnson, regretting his enforced absence on account of speaking engagements in Georgia. This is the first instance on record where a member of our race has made a present of a fine American flag to wave over a building owned by a fraternal organization, and the act is destined to become historic. The general is noted for his liberality in helping secret orders, churches and needy individuals, and one of his most notable benefactions is his annual dinner given to the nurses of Freedmen's hospital. General Forrest is a widower and lives in a handsomely appointed flat in Carrollburg place. For many years he has been connected in a responsible capacity with the Pennsylvania railroad. It is expected that at the Atlanta B. M. C. he will be chosen as inspector general of the Patriarchate, the military arm of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows.

AN ARDENT ADVOCATE OF HIGHER EDUCATION In Louisville, is busy completing arrangements for the departure of Miss DeLaney, missionary on the west coast of Africa. The board is endeavoring to raise sufficient funds to have Miss DeLaney sail on or about the 15th of June. It is expected that Miss Taylor of South Carolina will be ready in time to accompany Miss DeLaney to the west coast where she will also take up mission work under the auspices of the national Baptist foreign mission board. Sunday schools and churches which have not made their reports to Secretary L. G. Jordan are urged to do so as soon as possible, as the work needs the presence of Miss DeLaney and her assistants at headquarters. Rally meetings will be held in many churches in the south and north, where the people will have opportunity to bid adieu to the missionaries before they sail from New York. Rev. Dr. L. G. Jordan has been in charge of the work as corresponding secretary for several years. He has done a great work. His fifty-eighth birthday occurred on Sunday, June 2, at which time he was the recipient of many expressions of good will and appreciation for his work from members of the denomination in various sections of the country. Havana—There is no room for doubt of the existence of a negro conspiracy extending to all the provinces of the island, with the apparent intention of taking up arms against the government today, which was the tenth anniversary of the Cuban independence. The negroes appear to have become aroused to rebellion by the denial of what seems to them their just political reward for services rendered in the war of independence, in which they constituted a great majority of the Cuban forces. The feeling against the government has been intensified by a law denying negroes the right to organize a political party. The principal trouble now is in the vicinity of Sagua la Grande, where two armed parties are operating, and in Oriente province, where several bands are converging on Guantanamo City, with the apparent purpose of making a display of force at that place. The rural guard dispersed one small party and captured two others. Troops Are Ordered Out. The situation is considered sufficiently grave for the government to dispatch a column of 1,200 men from Camp Columbia, composed of cavalry and infantry, with field and machine guns, bound for Santa Clara and Oriente provinces. Near Sagua la Grande a squad of rurales had an engagement with an armed band of negroes. One of the guards was killed and the negroes escaped. From Cruces comes the report that residents of the surrounding country are feeling to the city for shelter. The insurgents are reported to have held up a locomotive and stolen many horses. A dispatch received by the government from Lajas, Santa Clara, says that a negro band headed by Simon Armenteros, destroyed the telegraph station at the Santisima plantation at Trinidad, in Santa Clara, and also burned a bridge of the railway from Sagua la Grande to Chienfugos. Armenteros declares that it is his intention to do his utmost to destroy foreign property. At Mariano, 8 miles from Havana, the rural guard exchanged shots with a party of negroes, capturing one of them and also nine rifles. Everybody is doing it. What? Why reading the Courier. FIVE CENTS A COPY Success of Dr. W. D. Chappelle At Allen University—Recently Elected Bishop ALWAYS ON SIDE OF TRUTH BY GEORGE FRANCIS KING. Columbia, S. C.—Because of the substantial achievements for the Methodist Episcopal church made by the Rev. Dr. W. D. Chappelle, A. M. president of Allen university, Afro-Americans in this section are proud of his recent election to the bishopric. He was born of slave parents in Fairfield county, S. C., in 1837. He received his early education in the Fairfield Normal institute. The narration of his life, especially at this time, shows his native ability to stand hard knocks and win out. His first public work was teaching in the rural district, which he did from 1880 to 1882. The zeal to accomplish results for the spiritual and material uplift of his race led him to the ministry, which caused him to intelligently prepare himself for the great work. He entered Allen university and graduated with honors in the year 1887. Upon graduating he rapidly grew into prominence and filled a number of important positions in the church. For eleven years he served as presiding elder and a general officer of the church for eight years. As secretary of the Sunday School union he has been a potent factor in this branch of the noted activities of this able religious agency. As a legislator he is conservative, forceful and a mighty leaven in the general conference, of which he has been a member consecutively since 1888. Dr. Chappelle is now completing a remarkable six years as president of Allen university, having served two years before he went to Nashville, Tenn., as the head of the Sunday BISHOP W. D. CHAPPELLER. School union. He is an ardent advocate of high education, to which he has given much time. The students of Allen university idolize him, and unanimously they prefer him to remain as their president, but the members of the church in this state and the church in general feel that he is needed on the bench as one of the leaders of the church because of his excellent contribution to the success of the church and loyalty to his principles. He is honest, frank and brave of courage and has always stood for Christian manhood, free speech and equal opportunity in the church. He is a unique character in the connection and is often opposed because of his native aggressiveness, but he is always found on the side of right in a fight and never retreats; hence he is popular with the masses. In a recent article he assailed the method of allowing men to enter the ministry of the church by lowering the bars and not coming up to the requirements of the church, causing the serious condition of the prepared young men to turn their backs on the ministry in many conferences. Because of the article referred to there were those who said that Dr. Chappelle ought to keep quiet if he wanted to be elected bishop. But Dr. Chappelle said that he would rather be right and sit ease with his conscience by doing the great work which God has committed to him than to be elected bishop of the A. M. E. church. "We believe," said this minister, "that the ministers of our church have outgrown that narrow and contracted idea that because a man speaks out for the truth and for the poor ministers of the church he must be humiliated and kept in the rest. We believe that the time has come when men everywhere are seeking for the truth, for in righteousness has God laid the foundation of the church and has ordained that truthful and honest men shall manage his Zion." Zion Churchman to Meet in Salisbury The annual meeting of the Washington and Philadelphia conferences of the A. M. R. Men church will be held in Salisbury, Md., beginning on Wednesday, June 12. Bishop Alexander Walmer will be in charge. SUBSCRIBE FOR THE COURRIER. MONESSEN, PA. (Ely. Mattle Scales). G. H. Castle was a Greensburg visitor the past week on business. Mrs. W. P.

The RING and the MAN WITH SOME INCIDENTAL RELATION TO THE WOMAN BY CYBUS TOWNSEND BRADY ILLUSTRATIONS BY DOROTHY MEYLL. THE COURIER. The R and the M WITH RELAT BY C SYNOPSIS. A foolish young tenderfoot becomes fascinated with the bold, artilful wife of a drunken prospector who sets off a blinding blissard but are confronted by the maudlin husband. He is shot by the man, who takes his note to the body taking the crime upon himself. In their flight to the railroad station the woman, in her yellow pants, yets puts her on his own and follows hanging to the stirrup strap. Seeing he is an impediment, the woman thrusts her hand to the half-frozen he stumbles into the railroad station just as the train bears the woman away. Twenty-five minutes later he is multi-millionaire. In New York he meets Eleanor Haldane, a beautiful and wealthy settlement worker, and track extension planer. Gormly becomes owner of a steamship line and finds himself frustrated in plier and track extension planer. The city from corruption. Mr. Haldane in a long desired interview with Gormly, makes a indirect proposition to compromise the town with the newspapers against the Gotham Traction company, and which Haldane is suspected of being the head of the company. The newspapers against Haldane. Gormly rides to Haldane's place, carrying word of the auto accident. The next morning as mild compared to one he experienced in his boyhood days. The papers announce his candidacy for mayor. The粉末 is produced a tremendous sensation. The minority party, seeing in him a possible Moses, makes overtures looking to influence of his candidacy for "outsider Gormly, however, rejects all proposed alliances. "My dear Mr. Warren, undoubtedly you are very available. Whether or not you are the most available is the question," interposed McRonald. "We ought to get some man of the highest consideration, who belongs to a most respectable family, and yet who's amenable to the right pressure. How'd you do yourself, Mr. Haldane?" asked the boss innocently, if bosses can ever ask anything in that vein. "Under no consideration," he said, decisively, "could I accept the honor. My interests, our interests, are too vast, for me to localize them by becoming mayor of New York." "Haven't you got a son?" asked Connell, the chief of police. "He'd have all the advantages of name and station and so on that you would, and I have no doubt he'd do pretty much what you said, and I'm sure you'd say what was best for us all." "I think that would be an excellent idea," chimed in Rutherford. "How old is your youngster, Haldane?" "He's twenty-eight." "Never done anything in his life, has he?" "Do you mean in business, or any any other way?" "Anything he's got to cover up I mean." "Nothing, I believe," answered the father. "He's been a lively lad; but nothing dishonorable that I am aware of." "He's the very man we want—young, enthusiastic, inexperienced, rich, controllable. Where is he now?" asked Rutherford. "He's down on Long Island at my country place." "Can you get in communication with him by telephone?" "I think so." "Suppose you call him up and ask him whether or not, if he got the nomination, he would run." "I will. Excuse me, gentlemen," said Haldane, going out into the hall where one of the duplicate telephones was installed. He did not care to his telephoning in the library before the group of conspirators. "I think," protested Warren as Haldane closed the door behind him, "that this is a shame. You promised me that if I made a satisfactory mayor, I should have the refusal of the office again, and I'd like to know what I've done that you should throw me down." "Promises," said Liffey, "don't go in politics longer than it's agreeable, as you very well know. We ain't throwing you down, either. You'll be provided for doubtless in some way, and maybe this young Haldane ain't the most available man after all. We're not committed to him yet." "I tell you one thing that we can do without waiting for a candidate." here interposed the chief of police. "And what is that, pray?" asked the mayor. "We can put the Central Office detective force on Gormly's trail. We can look up his record. We can find out all about him ever since he was a baby. It's dollars to pennies but what we'll discover something that he'd like to keep hidden." "Your suggestion is an excellent one, and your observations do you credit. It's the first practical suggestion we've had here this evening," said Van Sklye. "Right," said Lifey, bluntly. "Turn up some dirty story about him, and if you need evidence I'll supply all that's necessary." "You'll have to be careful," said Rutherford, "that such evidence as you supply shall be unimpeachable, and that such a story as you turn up shall be true, else I won't have anything to do with it." "Oh, I guess you'll take your orders from the society." "Not from you, Lifey, not from anybody," said Rutherford quietly enough, though his face flushed at the insult. "As a matter of fact, being district attorney, I hold the whip hand of you all." And again the uneasy movement from the financiers evidenced the truth of that assertion. My term still has two years to run, remember, and there are things I could do even with you. Don't forget that! Lifey gritted his teeth; but said THE MASTER "Turn Up Some Dirty Story About Him," Sald Liffey Bluntly. nothing in the face of so obvious a proposition At this moment Haldine reentered the room. He looked gravely troubled. "Gentlemen, it is past belief, but when I asked him whether he would accept the nomination or not, he said—" Haldine paused. "He said he had already pledged his support to Gormly that afternoon at the intercession of—or—my daughter and some other friends." "Well, I damned!" said the boss. "Are you goin' to stand for that?" "I hardly see how I can prevent it," answered Haldane, very much perturbed, "unless I should disclose my own connection with the administration; which, I take it, is a thing to be avoided for all our sakes." "Yes, unless we want to kill the cow we're milkin," returned Lifey, "it is But can't you put pressure on him?" "To a certain extent, yes." "Turn Up Some Dirty Story A "Cut off his allowance." "Unfortunately, he has sufficient money of his own from his grandfather's estate, to keep him from—er-want, and as he is quite of age, my influence must be a matter of persuasion." "Gentlemen," said Rutherford, "this is a very serious indication of the gravity of the situation. If young men like Livingstone Haldane espouse the cause of George Gormly, it means that he'll have a following among that class that has tremendous weight." "That class as a rule don't cut much of a figure in politics," it's the street commissioner. "It's my white wings and Connell's gang and the society that does the work." "Don't make any mistake," said Rutherford. "The class to which you refer, if it could be waked up, is capable of doing amazing work." "If I know anything about it," said Van Slyke. "Gormly will wake them up too." "I guess we'll have to fall back on Mr. Warren and his administration," said Haldane. "Gentlemen," began Warren sentiently, "I shall always be glad to serve the people and—er—my friends and supporters in any office to which I may be chosen." "We'll take care of that," interrupted Liffey contemptuously. "In order to make it regular," said the district attorney, "I propose that we all declare here and now our preference for our candidate. I don't hesitate to say that I think Warren is the best man we can get. Ke know him; we know just exactly what we can expect from him. He is rather liked by the people, and his connection with this little ring here is not too obvious." "I guess that suits me," returned Liffey. Habberley and Connell agreed, and Van Slyke and his colleague also assented. "Now," said Liffey, "I've got something else to propose. What do you think as to the likelihood of Gormly's gittin' or acceptin' the nomination of the outs?" "I think he could get it by turning over his hand," answered Haldane; "but I think it is extremely unlikely that he'll accept it. He told me that he intended to run as an absolute independent; not to be tied to any party whatsoever." "He'll offer him the nomination sure," said Connell. "They ain't never had such a chance as he'll present since I've been chief of police, and that's nearly twenty years." "Well, if he won't accept it, that'll --- Stumped for a Cussword make them all see as the devil," said Habberley. "Exactly," interposed Liffey, "and therefore I propose that we make a nonpartisan ticket to run against him; that we divide the offices between the his and ours; reserva' to curvature the most important and vital ones, of course, but give' the outs enough to make 'em feel good, let 'em git their fingers into the public pie for a few pickit's, and so on. We can easily do that without loss' too much, and we'll present a united front against him." "A united front of all the graffiti, thieves, blackguards, financiers, and politicians in New York!" answered Rutherford. "You don't like the scheme, Mr. "As for myself," said Haldane, "I also think it has elements of attractiveness, although I must protest against being placed in the category you have enumerated, Mr. Rutherford." "Oh, protest all you like," said the district attorney easily. "The suggestion is a good one, Lifey. It's not hard to see why you're in your present position. You have a level head. I think we are all agreed on what you suggest; eh, gentlemen." "Good!" said Haldane after the assents had been received. "It only remains then to make up the state. Shall we do it now or later?" "We might as well do our part of it now," said Lifey. "T'll see Benson tomorrow and put it up to him. He can name his contributions to the list, and then we'll announce it." "And our platform!" querted Rutherford. "To stand on our record and point about Him," Bald Liffey Bluntly. with pride, and say mighty little else," returned the boss concisely. Rutherford laughed; so did the rest. It was so absurd and yet so exceedingly adroit. "And I'll carry out my part of the game," said the chief of police. "What part was that?" asked Haldane. "While you were out," answered Rutherford, "our worthy censor of public morals, guardian of public interests, and enforcer of public law, suggested that it would be a good thing to employ the detective force of the city in looking out for the interests of the party by investigating the past, present, and future of Mr. Gormly. You see a reform candidate has got to be of blameless life. That's the reason we are none of us allied with that party. I take it. And if anything whatsoever can be found which tends to cast a cloud over the individual reformer, his cake's dough." "I suggest," said Mr. Haldane, "that any information you may acquire should be submitted to those of us who are present before any use is made of it." "Oh that, of course," said Liffey, "Chief, don't make any moves without submitting them to me." "There is still another matter of interest to us all which must be settled," continued Haldane. "What's that?" "The old franchise of the New York Street company that expires this spring; the link that completes the Stumped for An excitable New York man, gallolining through his native Virginia, offered $1,000 for a new cusword to express his emotions when his machine balked. He was disappointed, says the New York World. He must so remain. For one dowered with Saxon speech to crave aid in expelive is like sending coals to Newcastle. What surcease of his muted sorrow can Germany offer, where "Thunderweather" and "Potsthousand" are blasphemy supreme; or France, with its "sacred Blue" and "Name of a Pipe" or Turkay, where you murmur "Destiny" when a wheel breaks; or Italy, where a too delicateness dammy is invited to put one foot before the cause of the business without question company." "Well, it doesn't seem to me that's a very difficult proposition," said Litter. "We've got the heart of alchemist, and the borough presidents as well. All we've got to do in to draw up an ordinance and above it through. The mayor here will sign it, and that'll be the end of it." "It is by no means as easy as you think, Litter," said Hakim. "If I know anything about Gormly he'll make a fight on that issue. That is our weak point. If we had that frivolous safely passed and in our pockets, we could laugh at him. I don't know whether it would not be better to defer the passage of such an ordinance until after the election." "I think that while there is mock in what you say, Ehlmann," said Van Slyke, "yet we'd better make sure of the ordinance before the election. We would have that, anyway, even if we failed, which, as Mr. Lifley says, is hardly possible." "Gentlemen," said Haldane, "I am by no means convinced of what you say. I tell you that the main fight will be on the disposal of that very franchise. I admit that we can pass anything in spite of any commotion, but the question is do we want it." "That's hardly the question," said McRonald. "Of course we want it; but the question is, is it the best thing to do. I think there is tremendous force in your arguments, Mr. Haldane. If we present ourselves with that franchise, which is so immensely valuable and vital indeed to the completion of our properties, as well as to the public, we shall certainly have given to the opposition the strongest ground for appeal to the people. If we do not present ourselves with the franchise, if we allow the election to determine that unofficially as it were, and then when we have won the election, we avail ourselves of our opportunities, we shall be in a much safer and better position." "Do you wish to submit this franchise to the vote of the people, Mr. McRonald?" asked Rutherford. "By no means," answered the financier. "Well, what do you propose than "This. Would it not be well, in case this movement grows strong enough to be worthy of the attention we are giving it, to declare as from the party in power that while we have the power to grant the franchise, and while we think it would be for the interests of the people that it should be granted, yet we are willing to defer action until after the election and let the election determine." "That would be a wise course," said Haldane. "I don't know but that it is the wisest course; but we must face the alternative." "What is that?" "Defeat! If we made that proposition, and then were defeated, it would be impossible for us to secure the franchise. The stock of the Gotham Freight Traction company is $39,000,000, and the bonds outstanding aggregate almost as much. If we don't have this franchise, they won't be worth ten cents on the dollar to us." "How much actual money has been invested in the concern?" asked the district attorney. "Two hundred and fifty millions from the people, and—very little else," answered Haldane. "How much is it really worth?" queried Liffey. "It's worth, of course, what was put into it" "And what will its earning capacity be?" "If we control it, it will pay a fair dividend on all the stock that has been put out, most of which is held by our friends and the friends of the organization," answered Van Slyke. The problem was a tremendous one. They faced it silently a moment or two, and at last Haldane rested it. "You see, we can, if necessary, delay public opinion and jam through an ordinance at the last minute even if we are likely to lose the election, although by so doing we should give the enemy a tremendous advantage at the close of the campaign. Or we can defer the granting of the franchise until after the election, in the hope that the postponement will be our strongest card for winning. I tell you, gentlemen, that other interests of greater magnitude would be involved in the fate of the Gotham Freight Traction company." "Why in the name of all that business alike didn't you get control of this franchise before?" asked Rutherford. "We couldn't." Haldane replied. "It is impossible to get a renewal of a franchise until it expires." "Why didn't you wait before committing yourselves to the greater enterprise until this franchise, matured." "We couldn't. There were other interestes anxious to build the subway and unite the various other franchises in one organization. The people were clamorous that the road should be built, and there was nothing else to do but build it. Besides, who could have foreseen this situation. No, gentlemen, we were helpless, and without this franchise we are more helpless." (TO BE CONTINUED.) other;" or Spain, where one may bid a persistent beggar "Go in peace, little brother?"

Children's BONNETS of lace-straw and silk braids are shown, made up with light weight silks or ribbons, of high luster. Bright tones of blue and pink are used on many of them and tints of many colors in the soft and supply ribbons that form the trimming and sometimes part of the body of the bonnet. Fig. I illustrates a pretty combination. A fancy braid in deep ercue forms the body of the shape. A quaint finish at the brim-edge is made by over-casting a tuscan straw cord about it. The shape, bends outward in a deep scallop over the ears and is otherwise plain. The wont trimming consists of a wreath of small pink June rosebuds laid in the simplest manner about the crown. At the left side a very full chou of ribbon, made of small puffs set close together, complete the childish design. It is an adorable little curls or smoothly bubbled hair of little misses. It is worn without ties and fastens with an elastic cord under the hair. Fig. 2 shows another combination in which a silk lace braid is combined with puffed ribbon to make the shape. Its foundation is a frame of fine silk wire. This frame provides for the Dutch bonnet flare over the ears at each side, which is balanced by a crown like a square in shape. The bonnet pictured here is made of light blue braid and white messaline ribbon. The band of braid about the head is repeated in the facing and the edge is finished with a puff of the rib- Now is the Time to Bee That They Are In Proper Condition for the Hot Weather. If one intends to have a supply of summer foot-gear in readiness before the hot months are actually here there are several things which should be done as soon as possible. Last year's shoes, which have presumably been put carefully away, should be taken out of hiding and gone over with a czeam that will clean and preserve the leather, then the cobbler should have a chance at these before the home repairs are attempted. A half-sole, a new heel lift, new buttons put on with patent fasteners, and straps on the cafed front or back seam of a boot will work a wonderful change. If the renovated footgear does not look quite new it will at least give one something to wear on a bad day, and every one knows it ruins new shoes to get them wet or even thoroughly damp. After the cobbler has done his work new ribbons should be put on pumps and new ribbon lacing in ties. Then every pair should be properly "treed" and polished and covered from the chance of dust. Footwear Indorsed by Paris. The white boot is an important factor of the Parisienne to toilette this season. It is seen with white costumes having conspicuous white touches. These white boots have very high tops that fit the ankle exquisitely, so that the foot looks exceedingly trim and dainty. Most fashionables in Paris now wear flesh-tinted or cream silk stockings with the buttoned boot, black stockings being worn with black slippers and pumps in the evening. The colonial pump of gun metal, with a curved, oblong buckle, is a new model which is liked for plaza and country wear. Proper Patching. When children's dresses have to be patched, be sure to match the weave of the material, and if it be striped or plaid goods, take great care that the lines of the figure exactly match. Before applying the patch be sure that the material of the patch matches the dress in color. For example, do not patch a faded garment with a piece of new material. If the dress is faded, wet a bit of new material and lay it in the sun until it, too, is faded the same amount as the dress itself; then it can be put on underneath the tear, the frayed edges cut away and the edges of the tear sewed down with invisible stitches. Dampen and press the patch on the wrong side and it will be almost impossible to see where the garment has been mended. Keeping Cream Sweet Keeping Cream Sweet If you have cream you want to keep sweet a few days, add two or three lumps of sugar, stirring it well, then cover it and set it away in the coilest corner of the refrigerator. bon. The square crown is made entirely of braid and the crown is set on by means of a puff made of the ribbon. At the left side a short bridle of ribbon, folded, is fastened to the frame with a small spray of little roses and terminates in a rosette of ribbon at the point over the ear. This is repeated on the right side and from these rosettes short ties extend, fastening under the cheek at the left, in a simple bow of two short loops and ends. The ties may be fastened on the inside at the same points; this will allow more fare to the frame and give a closer fit, if it is desired. Never was there so great variety to choose from in children's hats and bonnets, as are shown this season. But nothing is prettier than these, the simplest of designs made up of the materials and in the colors which have long been associated in our minds with headgear for little ones. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. VERY UP-TO-DATE Gown of white cotton volle and coarse gulpure, with brown silk tie and belt of dull gold gauze. White straw hat lined with brown velvet and trimmed with a brown paradise feather. Volle and Mull Popular White volle has found lasting favor with women of all ages. It is a material which musses little and does not require constant thought of pressing. It has to a large extent taken the place of less practical fabrics for summer gowns. Moll, too, is as much in evidence as ever and as with volle, can be made into enchanting evening frocks. With the gown cut a little low in the neck, preferably in V shape, one can drape it with a fishchuck of sheerest net edged with Valenciennes lace about two inches wide. The fischus are some what wider on the shoulders than in the back or front—Harper's Bazar. Shadow Lace Vells Shadow lace is the most popular material for vellining, both for the handsome made vellis and for the less expensive vellining that comes by the yard. The hand run shadow lace vellis are one and a half yards long. They come in black, white and black and white. There are much cheaper shadow lace vellis in the machine run pattern of course.

Article denouncing statement made by T. H. Brown: To the Editor of the Pittsburgh Courier:—We take this means of denouncing the statement made by T. H. Brown. Vassar College is a memorial meeting held in Mt. Rose Baptist church, May 30, 1912, Uniontown, Pa. He stated that we, Reverends C. J. Wells, C. M. Gregory and F. W. Williams saw the school board of Concellville, Pa., and protested against colored teachers. We wish the public to know that the statement is malicious falsehood. The school board or any member of it concerning teachers. L. C. J. Wells, am not acquainted with any member of the school board or the said T. H. Brown and at a loss to know his reason for attacking methods. Wolves, dogs and panthers attack men in the back. Mr. Brown adopts their tactics to take advantage of our absence to offer her a chance to show the statement false we defy him to repeat the statement in the public press. Reverends C. J. Wells, C. M. Gregory and P. W. Williams. GREENSBURG (By Warrick Anderson) J. H. Nimmer, accompanied by Misses Anna C. and Gussie Stokes, spent Memorial Day with his cousin, Mrs. C. B.

It should be a man's privilege to live in protection, when he will or as he will, so long as his will does not conflict to hindrance of society, but in this city of the free, a man may is mistaken for liberty, a man may not leave his home with any assurance of returning if his way happens to lead him in certain districts of our city. Here a many ma ynot express his opinion without a challenge which may result in his death. Here he may not seek to rectify some mistake less some prowler of the street make him pay for the privilege with his life. Where are our laws, where are our courts, where our police that this erase of affairs continues unchallenged, unchecked? Never a week passes over our head but some life has paid the forfeit to another's life passion. Scarcely a day passes but some man has taken judgment and justice in his own hands and blotted out some other to satisfy his malevolence. To many the snorefulness of individual rights has no meaning. To them the home ties have no value; and for much the majesty of the law has no terrors. The time has come when because of the technical skill of the lawyers, the film flam practiced in the courts, the criminal no longer fears the penalty of his crime. Those who should be vigilant to rid society of these men are indifferent or careless. Laxity in the court room leaves no home free from fear that some of its members may be violently taken away because of the prey of some street tramp or lawless individual. In this enlight- ened city, there is a reign of terror and crimes likened unto the days of the middle ages. Let the wholesale murdering be stopped at any cost. Let our feelings not be constantly harassed by evil or crime and license. Let the men who have committed murder be dealt with according to the law on the statutes of our states. Let the criminal feel the real force of the punishment he invites. Punishment is the only antidote for heinous crimes. The man who is so hardened that he can ruthlessly take the life he cannot give is also so hardened that there is but little hope that a lenient sentence will help him. When crime ceases to go free because of sentiment or money crime will then stand in fear of punishment and this city will not have a reign of terror, which has been on the increase for the past year. The duty of the court is to protect the citizens, their rights, their property and their lives. It is not its duty to lay a premium on crime abrogating punishment. We beg the judges on the bench, the state's attorney and the honorable lawyers at the bar to aid the crusade against crimes by sternly setting their faces against light sentences and easy discharges on criminals brought before them—Illinois Chronicle. We have noted this striking difference between the white press and the negro press in their comment regarding the frightful tragedy of the Titanic. Colored writers invariably infer or pre-suppose it to have been the work of God, or at least that God in some way had some hand, or purpose in bringing it about. The white man discusses the matter without any such inference or prepossession. So far as can be judged from this latter's writings, God was not in it either directly or indirectly. Man alone was responsible. Were there enough collapsible boats? Enough life preservers? Neglect to provide binoculars? Anything wrong about the mechanism of the wireless apparatus? If so, man was responsible, the error can be corrected and the banner of progress can be planted higher up the heights. But If God did it, then there is no need to try again. Let the army of progress camp where it is and never move a step further. Such is the legitimate consequences of two radically different ideas when traced to their logical conclusion. But what has always puzzled us is this, it is a necessary law of mind, that the under man habitually thinks of any unforeseen tragedy happening to the man in advance as having been sent by some power above. But this much is certain, had the man in advance continued to think like the man farthest down both would today have been nearer the jungle than they are. All the progress known today has been made possible by cultivating the habit of looking for the cause of defeat and victory in the only world known to man. It is by reason of this fact that man has conquered the world. He never would have done so had he held to the silly belief that his misfortunes, defeats, reverses and tragedies were sent upon him by some God or Devil Mankind will benefit in countless ways by that frightful sea-tragedy which we all deplore. Nobody would be benefited, however, if the masters of thought and ef "Dixie Kid," the colored welterweight champion, added another victim to his list the other night when he stored away Bernard, the Frenchman, in the tenth round in a bout in Paris. In Hutchinson, Kan., a jury composed entirely of colored men has been trying a case. Charles Fulton, deputy probate judge, remarked that he never saw a finer set of men on a jury than those six colored men, one of them a doctor, another a minister fort believed for a moment that a God sent that superb ship to the bottom of the deep in order to show his power. Foolish ideas of that sort dominated the human mind during that night of a thousand years known in history as the Dark Ages. The baneful effects of those ideas are traceable in all of the occupations of man from farming to pharmacy. No race is capable of leading in the march of the world today that is not first able to divest itself of these cerements and grave-clothes of the mind.—Dallas Express. In a news article published some weeks ago attention was called to the fact that a movement was on foot to have a national conference of waiters to consider the subject of negro waiters throughout the country. This is important, vastly important, and we hope it will be done. The fact that all classes of working people, as well as captains of industry are constantly holding conventions to consider their condition with a view of improving that condition. People who manufacture wall paper hold conventions; people who manufacture picture frames hold conventions; people who manufacture brooms hold conventions; people who manufacture clocks hold conventions; people who raise pigs, cows and chickens hold conventions. While all this has been going on among the white people the negro has been thinking far too long that he could benefit himself by simply holding conventions declaring in favor of "manhood rights" and all the rest of it. We have gone on with this nonsense until the negro waiters have begun to lose their bread and butter. By all means let us have conventions of negro waiters.—New York Age. The St. Louis Argus is fighting a condition not a theory that exists nearly everywhere. It says: People who sweat their eyeballs out to earn a small sum and then pour it all back into the coffers of those who offer no means of getting any of it back save the most menial and poorly paid work, will never be able to get a foothold economically. Remember, that every dollar spent with a negro business or professional man has ten chances to reach you again to one chance for the dollar spent with the other fellow. Negro grocers, physicians, lawyers, dentists, druggists and what not are almost unanimous in saying that the people who can best afford to pay for high class service take it to the white man. It is from the mass of "just ordinary" people that the negro business and professional man receives his spport. If these negroes will not patronize negro enterprises, then let them be put out of the service of negroes. Keep tab on them, and when the time comes to fill a place, put in a negro who will spend his money among his own people. There have been few undertakings on American soil wherein the negro has not borne a praiseworthy part. Mr. Hensen at the north pole with Peary is a case in point. Notwithstanding the intense cold he bore his part in this perilous dash to the pole with all the heroism of his companions and has written his name next to that of Peary himself in his great exploit. It is an indication of the remarkable qualities of Hensen's mind that he has written and published a book on his experiences in the far north. In the years to come these two records, that of Peary and Hensen, will remain the only literary monuments of the first successful dash to the pole. A colored man was brought before a police judge charged with stealing chickens. He pleaded guilty and received sentence, when the judge asked him how it was he managed to lift those chickens right under the window of the owner's house when there was a dog in the yard. "Hit wouldn't be of no use, judge," said the man, "to try to 'splain' dis thing to you all. If you was to try it you like as not would get yer hide full o' shan' an get no chickens, nuther. If you want to engage in any raciality, judge, yo' better stick to de bench, whar yo' am familiar."—Zion's Advocate. Jack Johnson introduced his talk before a theater audience in Chicago recently by saying that he used to see white folks celebrating on July 4, but that the colored people never had much to rejoice over or to touch off fireworks, and the like. That's why he changed things for them and gave them an equal chance to make merry on that big day, which, he said, should always be remembered as the time when one great athlete of the colored race defeated a white man. While some people are discussing, and some are "cussing" him, he can "saw wood and say nothing." Just strive to educate head, heart and hand, and reach the highest mental, moral, physical and industrial development possible and get the elements so fixed in him that all the world can stand up and say, "This is a man." and a third a law student, and all of them men who have good education and character. It attracted a lot of attention, being a very unusual occurrence in Kansas legal circles.—The Crisis. Colored people pay taxes on nearly $1,000,000 worth of property in Savannah, Ga.
