THE PITTSBURGH COURIER. AFTERMATH OF RECENT GENERAL CONFERENCE VOL. III. NO. 26. Progress of Zion Church Shown In Reports of Field Workers at Home and Abroad BY CLEVELAND G. ALLEN. Charlotte, N. C.-The twenty-fourth quadrennial session of the A. M. E. Zion church conference recently held in this city for three weeks was in many respects the most notable in the history of the denomination. The sessions were all well attended and the public showed great interest in every phase of the work. All departments of the church were gone over with care and were found to be on a solid basis, especially the financial department, which is said to be further in advance in actual achievements, according to receipts, than was expected by the general officials. While there were no new bishops elected at this session there were several changes made in the general officers' staff. The conference was attended of upward of 200 delegates, who came from every section of the country, as well as from Africa and the West Indies. There delegates told of the progress the connection was making the world over. It was the first time in four years that an opportunity was afforded to see the great Zion church in a body and to study the personof the gathering. The conference made a great impression upon the white citizens of Charlotte, and at the close of the conference an editorial in the Evening Chronicle, a leading daily, spoke in glowing terms of the session. When Bishop Hood called the conference to order on the opening day in Clinton chapel he stood in the same place as he did forty years ago when a young man, he was ordained bishop. Among the new changes are the election of the Hon. J. C. Dancy of Washington as secretary of the Church Extension society. Ret. G. W. Wood of the Missionary society, Rev. M. D. Lee general secretary, and Rev. J. W. Kyles editor of the Quarterly Review. Among the general officers reelected were Dr. J. S. Jackson financial secretary, G. C. Clement editor of the Star of Zion, F. K. Bird manager publication house, S. G. Atkins secretary of education and Dr. W. H. Goler president of Livingstone college. During the past four years the church has raised over a quarter of a million dollars. This was done independent of the amount raised for the 3,300 churches in the connection. The bishop's quarennial address was especially interesting and called special attention to the sidelined condition of the following departments: Educational department, which has under its control eleven institutions; the extension department, missionary department. Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary society. Varick Christian Endeavor union, the publication house, Star of Zion, Harriet Tudman home, Sunday school department, the Varick memorial temple and the brotherhood. The great good that is being done in Africa by the Zion church was encouraging. Many prominent visitors, among whom were Dr. Booker T. Washington, addressed the conference during the session. The prominent women of the church figured largely at the conference. Among those present were Mrs. Anna Blackwell, Mrs. K. P. Hood, Mrs. J. S. Jackson, Mrs. Lella Whaters, Mrs. C. R. Harris, Mrs. George W. Clinton and Mrs. Mary Small. "ROOSEVELT, THE MAN COLORED PEOPLE WANT" Chicago, Ill. Roosevelt headquarters for Negro delegates to the Republican national convention are in South State street, under charge of W. H. A. Moore, secretary. A reception committee under John R. Marshall meets delegates at stations and directs them to hotel accommodations. The entertainment committee has arranged a number of social affairs during convention week. "Roosevelt is the man the Negroes of this country want," declares the secretary. "He is the one who will do more for the betterment of the colored race than any other candidate." "President Taft has not taken the right attitude toward Negroes during his administration. He has helped to keep us down. He seems to think we want social intimacy, but such is not the case. We merely aspire to an equal chance of making ourselves useful to Citizens and Mr. Roosevelt will give us this chance." Among Negroes who have visited the headquarters are Judson Lions, former minister of the United States Treasury, James H. Haves of Richmond, Va.; Perry W. Howard Jackson, Miss.; Dr. J. D Redmond, a delegate to the convention from Mississippi, and J. I Rozos, an alternate at large from Louisiana. Mention the Courier in answering advertisements. CONFERS DOCTOR'S DEGREE UPON HAYNES Columbia University Honors Professor of Social Science in the Fisk University New York.-George E. Haynes, professor of social science in the Fisk university, Nashville, Tenn., a native of Pine Bluff, Ark., who receives the degree of doctor of philosophy from the Columbia university this month (June), is one of the few colored men who have been successful in completing the requirements in courses, examinations and theses which are exacted of such prospective candidates by the leading universities of this country. Mr. Haynes is also director of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, with headquarters in this city. In preparation for this large field of usefulness Mr. Haynes can refer back to a youth of comparative poverty, when it was necessary for him to go to work after completing the eighth grade in the grammar school and continue for three years and to spend two hours in the middle of the day and several hours each night in high school. Following this preparation, he spent one year at the Agricultural and Mechanical college, Normal, Ala.; five years at Fisk university, from which he received the B. A. degree in 1903; two years at Yale, from which he received the A. M. degree in 1904. From September, 1905, to June, 1908, Mr. Haynes was travelling secretary of the international committee of the Young Men's Christian association and visited the Negro educational institutions, and many cities and rural districts of the south. In this capacity he had the opportunity to observe both rural and urban conditions and to compare the efforts made toward bettering the conditions in each section and to compare the results achieved by such efforts. He gave special attention to the concentration of Negroes in cities and the neglect of many students of the opportunity to attack the problems following therefrom. In studying at the New York School of Philanthropy in connection with his work at Columbia university, he made an intensive survey of the Negro at work in cities with special application to New York city, with the result that his mind was fired with inspiration and the desire to work out plans for ameliorating the conditions which have followed invariably the concentration and subsequent segregation of Negroes in cities. The National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes is the consequence of this zeal and the achievements of the league are due in a large measure to his planning and enthusiasm. Hr. Haynes is a type of the younger-generation of Negroes. He is just thirty-two years of age and belongs to that enthusiastic number of young leaders which give promise and hope for the future of the race. MRS. CORENE FRAZIER BROWN PASSED AWAY Beloved Wife of Rev. W. W. Brown, Popular Pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church In Cupper, Va., a country hamlet located on the Southtrn Railroad, between Washington, D. C. and Lynchburg, Va., beautified with verdant nature and ripping rills, kissing the feet of the picturesque Blue Ridge range, environed with the atmosphere of Christian aristocracy and royal sublimity of which all Virginians are justly proud lived two characters, Mr. and Mrs. Govenor Frazier, February 28, 1874, was born to this godly couple a girl child who contributed to the world a lasting monument of pure virtue, ideal character and true womanhood. This girl was Coreen E. Frazier Brown, the beloved wife of the Rev. W. W. Brown, pastor of the Ebenezer Baptist church.

Both parents predeceded Mrs. Brown in their voyage to the Holy City. The demise of the father took place November 1921, and the mother followed until April 1925. Both died in the full triumph of Christian faith. The foundation of support for the formation of the Christian character of Mrs. Brown was established during life and supported in death was paid in the form of Virginia home. There she started the work of the home and class. Her first idea of parents was obtained in the public school in Calvert City. When she was 9 years old, she claimed the family to the care of the mother. Suspects the judgment of the mother and elder children deemed it advisable to settle in Pittsburgh.

How W. H. Daly Is Looking After Varied Interests In Pointing the Way Upward Baltimore. - In every community there are men who are starting in life hampered by the same disadvantages that envelop other men and yet by force of character and resourcefulness outstrip their fellows. Such a man is William H. Daly, who is successfully looking after varied interests in pointing the way upward to the young men of the race in this city. Born in Virginia, he came to this city a quarter of a century ago and secured employment as a butler. By frugal and abstemious habits he soon saved up enough money to start in the wholesale and retail meat business in the Lafayette market. By faithfully attending to his business and giving the right quality of WILLIAM H. DALY. meats at the right prices his business soon grew. Having several afternoons a week to spare, he learned to repair jewelry, a business in which he is now also engaged. Mr. Daly has worked his way up through difficulties from obscurity to a prominent place in the business arena in a large city. He has promoted many successful ventures and believes in the possibilities of the race along business lines. He has invested largely in the theatrical, hotel and restaurant business because, as he says, it makes room for the employment of members of the race. Thoughtful business men and women are watching with interest Mr. Daly's work in this city. All agree that he is pointing the way to success for many persons who may have been too tinnid to enter into business ventures for themselves. NOTED SINGER RETURNS Mme. Anita Patti Brown of Chicago known far and wide as "the bronze Tetrazzini." has returned to her home after a remarkably successful tour of Jamaica. West Indies, followed by a jaunt through the states of Texas Louisiana and Arkansas. She was accompanied by Mme. Lou Ella B. Smith, pianist and dramatic reader. Both were paid many fine compliments by the press and public throughout their long itinerary. The hump is coming down, but the Courier is growing every day.

EX-GOVERNOR SAYS THE RACE MUST MAKE GOOD P. B. S. Pinohot Said "There is a Great Future Before Us and Service to Perform" CABIN BOY TO GOVERNOR At the May meeting of the New York Historical and Literary society ex-Governor P. B. S. Pinchback of Louisiana was the principal speaker. His subject was "Reconstruction Remissions," which he treated in a most interesting manner. Ex-Governor Pinchback said in part: "There is a great future before us, a great service for us to perform. Notwithstanding the education and wealth among us, we are not making the progress I would like to see made. A quarter of a century ago the colored citizens of Louisiana felt that the white people had no rights that they had to respect. The colored people were in absolute control. Ma meets so clothing unable asdent, a Murfur was fathar school until taken ed the color tem began every "We are in the minority in this country in numbers, intelligence and wealth. Look up and down Broadway. How much of it do we own? Look at the subways. How many shares do we own in them? We must move forward along all lines of industry in the business world. "There is no excuse for a man or woman not making good in these days of opportunity and advancement. I arose from a cabin boy to the position of the chief executive in the state of Louisiana. Not all of the colored men who were representatives in the state legislature or officeholders in those days were ignorant men. "Some of them were intelligent and possessed executive ability to a marked degree. Oscar J. Dunn, the first lieutenant governor of Louisiana, was as black as the ace of spades, but a grander man from principle never trod God's earth. "Those of you who have heard of the reconstruction period, of the charge of incompetence, mismanagement, etc., on the part of those in control of affairs at that time have an opportunity today to make good and to demonstrate to the world that capability and efficiency know no color; that wherever the opportunity affords itself one men and women can make good."

AZALIA HACKLEY ACCOMPLISHED Great Soprano Singer—From Whence She Came and Whither She is Going By Elizabeth Jones Madame E. Azalia Hackley, who meets you with that pleasing manner, so characteristically hers and something time or experiences has been unable to steal away from her, when asked to give a little of her past, present, and future—said: "I was born in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, my mother was from Detroit but after her marriage went to live in Murfreesboro, my father's home. She opened a day school and singing school teaching up until the time of my birth. I was taken to Detroit when a baby, attended the public school and was the first colored girl product of the school system to teach in mixed schools. I began teaching at eighteen—I studied everywhere that I stayed for any length of time. Detroit, Denver, Philadelphia and New York, also for over three years studied in school abroad. I have been abroad twice." 6 MADAME AZALIA HACKLEY. "When did you begin professional work?" I asked. "Most of the singing, since my marriage eighteen years ago. Before my marriage as a girl, I use the pianist of Detroit allot, that title means very little to me now. I have always had people dependent upon me and after my marriage decided to put all my time upon my voice because I could. make more money through this channel. I have my bachelor degrees in music. Twelve years ago I had to leave Colorado on account of my health and came East." "Why am I retiring?" "Well, I have never cared for public singing. I prefer to teach for me teaching is but recreation, as long as I had people dependent upon me I was compelled to do both singing and teaching. My future plan is to open a permanent normal vocal training school in Chicago for preparing teachers. Nearly every city needs a good vocal teacher who understands his business. It is a lucrative field. I will only train those who have the equivalent of a High school education, and who can play the piano." "Now how do you account for the present unsatisfactory concert conditions, Madame Hackley?" "That's too long a story," she said with one of her prettiest French gestures which recalls the Delsarte work one enjoys so much. "Few people in our race give concerts for art sake. Promoters are afraid to lose money less the good opinion of the public, even when one has a big reputation audiences have to be coached to come out. As a rule our people go out to see and hear artists' rather than to hear music. We are progressing in Boston, New York City, Philadelphia, Washington, Chicago, and a few other cities colored impressarios are taking the odds. The South is the best concert field. Colored artists could not live if it were not for the southern cities and schools." "My future plans?" "As before, stated I retire to teach, to open a permanent school and to have vocal institutes in various sections of the country for those who cannot come to me. No, I will have no more foreign scholarships. I do not plan to assist any more students as I did last year. Instead of doing this, I will try to present several young artists, thus giving them a chance and the benefit of my name and experience, hoping to save them from some of the knocks and hardships. Since I have no children all that I accumulate from now on will be left for educational purposes." One cannot help being impressed with the nobleness of Madame Hackley's plans and to see that she has learned and is carrying the thought into practice. "We most do own what we own not but which is free to all. The sunset light upon the sea, a passing strain of melody is ours beyond recall." STUDENTS HONOR DR. C. SUMNER WORMLEY The Situation in Cuba. The Dark Cloud of Race Hate is Spreading Ever since the Cuban government has been organized and since the United States troops were withdrawn there have been race difficulties. It will be remembered that Maceo and the blacks were some of the most active and resolute rebels against Spanish rule and the most effective allies of the United States in securing Cuban freedom, says the Denver Statesman. However, when it came to the election of the officials American interests and race prejudice reduced the blacks to an inferior position. This they resented; hence the recent revolt. While we do not know the specific occasion of their rebellion nor the justice of their cause, we are human enough to be interested in them and to desire that they be given fair treatment. It does not follow that they are wrong because they are black nor because they are in an inferior position. If American control of Cuba is to mean to the Cuban Negro what has happened to the American Negro in the south. It is no improvement of his condition that Spanish rule is gone. In neither case is he a citizen with opportunity to say what the law shall be or how it shall be enforced. The dark cloud of race hate is spreading and our hope is the good sense of the world will destroy it like it did slavery. CUBANS TAKE BOTH WELL PLAYED GAMES CUBANS TAKE BOTH WELL PLAYED GAMES Cuban Stars beat Clays Giants, Cubans taking both games Friday and Saturday. The Cuban Stars are well disciplined and do excellent work. Mendez, Cuba's famous "Black Mathewson" pitched fine ball for the Cuban Stats in their game at Beulah park here Saturday against the Clay Giants, giving the local boys their worst defeat of the season. The final score was 13 to 2. The game was witnessed by over 3,000 rooters, who tried in vain to cheer the locals on to victory. Sellers Hall started to pitch for the locals, but was driven from the firing line, and Mathews, who pitched for the Giants on Friday, finished the contest. The score Friday was 14 to 4. Batteries—Junco and Garcia for the Cubans, and Moore and Mathews for the Giants. Umpires—Grant and Cook. The feature of the game was the all-around playing of the Cubans and the batting of Figarola, who drove the ball twice over the right field fence for home runs, once with the bases filled. Mendez made good all the advance claims for him. He looked the part of a real-ball player, and had the locals at his mercy throughout the game. The lineup: Cubans R. H. P. A. E.

R WORMLEY Head of School of Dentistry Resigns to Devote the Fur- ture to Private Practice PRESENTED WITH LOVING CUP By R. W. THOMPSON. Washington. With the close of the present school year Dr. C. Sumner Wormley severs his connection as superintendent of the department of dentistry at Howard university. The urgent demand for more time to devote to his private practice is given as the sole cause of Dr. Wormley's resignation. He has been at the head of the dental section of the medical school for eleven years. The senior class in dentistry has presented Dr. Wormley with a massive silver loving cup as a testimonial of affection and appreciation of his unselfish efforts in behalf of the class. The presentation speech was made by William H. Whitted, president of the class, who paid a lofty tribute to the character and productive labors of the retiring instructor. Dr. Wormley thanked the generous donors and told in a most touching manner how he had tried to his utmost capacity to serve his alma mater and how he had made the upbuilding of the dental department his "hobby." He pointed out to the class that success is measured by service and the amount of work done and not by how much wealth is accumulated. "The final test of good citizenship is service," says a sage. Measured by this very accurate standard. Dr. Wormley is entitled to a place in the foremost rank of "desirable citizens." Yet a young man, his career is "full of good works," and his name is deservedly written high in the professional, social, musical and educational life of the nation's capital. He is a sion of one of the oldest and most famous families of Washington. He acquired his early training DR. G. SUMMER WORMLEY. in the public and high schools of this city. He graduated from the dental department of Howard university in 1900 with honora, winning the alumni prize in dentistry in a large field of contestants. Taking hold like a veteran, he completely reorganised the department, installing a new system and adopting the methods and practices approved by the best dental authorities in the country. As superintendent of this department and lecturer on crown and bridge work Dr. Wormley soon gained a wide reputation. The enrollment for the present term is over 100 students, divided into three sections. The graduating class of the current year numbers thirty-four, and it is the banner class in the history of the school. The department now has twenty-two dental chairs, and the work performed by the operators of the senior and junior divisions is pronounced by competent authorities to be of an unusually high order. To illustrate the extent to which the institution has developed under the fostering care of Dr. Wormley, there was spent last year alone for improvements, materials and equipment over $2,500. Dr. Wormley, with characteristic modesty, disclaims any large measure of credit for the happy results achieved. He attributes the lion's share of the school's forward march to the encouragement, sympathy and support extended by President Thirkield, the progressive head of the university; Dr. C. H. Howland, dean of the dental department, and by Dr. W. C. McNeill, secretary of Howard Medical school. Dr. Wormley is public spirited to the last degree and in always willing to give of his talents and his means to worthy movements in behalf of the people. He served two terms with marked distinction as president of the Robert T. Freeman Dental Society of Washington, the first organization of the race in the United States, made up exclusively of colored dentists. It was originally known as the Washington Society of Colored Dentists, but the name was changed to do honor to Dr. Robert T. Freeman, the first colored dentist to practice in the District of Columbia. Everybody is doing it. What? Why reading the Courier. TWO (B) Grace D. McGee.

FRIDAY, JUNE 14, 1912 SYNOPSIS. CHAPTER IX—Continued. "What does it cover?" asked the mayor. "It covers pretty much every available route by which we can connect the ends of the traction company." "How much territory?" "Oh, a mile or a mile and a half, I should say; but every possible right of way is included in the franchise." "And if we don't get it?" "Squebody else will get it, of course. He will build the connections, and hold us up for anything that he wants." "But it will be no good to anybody else without what we've got," suggested Van Slyke. "True; but we have got several hundred millions involved and can't adopt a do nothing policy. Probably ten millions or even less will cover the expenses required by rebuilding under the old or new franchise, and that ten million has us by the throat." "It should be easy for five hundred millions to freeze out ten," said Rutherford. "Under other circumstances it would not be at all difficult," answered Haldane; "but the people are to be considered in this case. This road was built as a public convenience and, gentlemen, it has to be run." "This is a hell of a fix for men as smart as you to git yourselves in!" said Liffey. "As I take it, we can secure the franchise or we can make its future grant the issue of the campaign; and if we win, pass it then; and if we fail, take our medicine." "You've stated it clearly." "For myself, I'm in favor of grabbing the franchise now," said the boss. "It means money. Money's what we're here for. The object of politics is money for the crowd that's in. The aim of the crowd that's out is to git in so they can git the money. With money we can buy votes; with votes we can get office; with office and money we can get immunity from the consequences. Even if we're beaten by the mayor, we'll still have the district attorney we'll still have the police force. I'll still be here so will you, Mr. Haldane. And therefore, rather than any risk, I must that the franchise be renewed as soon as it expires, and that the grant be made to the Gotham Freight Traction company. I'd rather have something substantial than play for a chance any time. I guess we wouldn't suffer any therefore, no matter what happened. Besides, all it'd mean would be a wait for four years. These reform movements always get tired of themselves, and then one or the other of the old parties comes in. We'll be the one." "I am inclined to believe that much of Mr. Liffey's contention is sound," said Van Slyke at last. "Well, gentlemen," said Haldane, "what do you all think about it?" "Let's get what we can," said the mayor. "And keep all we've got," added Connell. "Very well then," said Haldane, "so be it. We are united upon a non-partisan ticket which we can select presently, with Warren at the head of it. Mr. Liffey will see Mr. Benson and induce his co-operation. Mr. Connell will investigate Mr. Gornly's career. Mr. Rutherford will arrange to have the franchise renewed as soon as it is possible to do so. Mr. Warren will at once announce himself as a candidate for re-election. Messrs. Liffey, Habberley, and Connell will get their forces in life. And I think that's all." "Not quite. Mr. Haldane," said Liffey. "What else?" "What else?" "You'll git the barrel open for the necessary expenses of the campaign." "Quite so," said Haldane, dryly. "You may depend upon us to do what is proper; eh, gentlemen!" Van Skye and McRonald nodded. "I think we've done a pretty good THE LAWYER "You Get the Barrel Open for the Necessary Expenses." night's work," said the district attorney, rising to his feet. "Don't go yet," said Haldane. "We must fix up the slate and, that will be all." It was a half-hour later when the last one departed from the house. Haldane was quite aware of the conditions under which his fortune was being increased and his power extended. He had been brought in contact with the naked reality of the situation a great many times; but it seemed to him that never before had it presented itself in so hideous and unattractive a guise as on that night. The financier was hardened. His conscience, while keenly alive in other directions, matters concerning politics and the people was seared and indurated. But what had been said and what he had discussed that night had sickened him. Haldane felt quite lonely, quite old, as he sat there in the small hours of the morning, his cigar gone out, musing over the situation. He pulled himself together at last. The battle was not lost. The enemy had not won, and before that came about there would be a struggle which would begar description. The cards seemed to be in his hands, or in the hands of the ring of which he was chief. No more experienced players ever sat at a game than those associated with him. They ought to win; but would they? Haldane was by no means certain. CHAPTER X. The Voice of the People is Heard. Gormly's refusal to accept the endorsement and become the nominee "You Get the Barrel! Open for of the outs created a great sensation. It was an evidence, which by and by even the stupid could apprehend, that Gormly literally meant what he said when he declared that he was to be an absolutely independent candidate, tied to no faction, bound by no party, entirely free and unfettered. The men who rallied to his support, while as innocent as babes in the practical politics affected by Lifey and Benson, were nevertheless men of abounding seal, keen intelligence, and high quality. Nor were the workers that gathered round the new leader entirely from the social set and circle of the Haldanes. Normly in one way or another employed a vast number of working men. His relations with them had always been not merely "square," as they phrased it, but kind and generous. They were organized and started at work immediately in every direction. Before the enemy realized it, ample time had been secured in every possible assembly room and there were nightly meetings all over the city. In the Gormly store itself was a great auditorium in which free concerts, lectures, and entertainments had been given for the employees and patrons of the store. This auditorium had outside entrances and could be completely cut off from the other business. Every afternoon he assembled in the auditorium the workers and speakers, and every afternoon there was the freest possible discussion of the issues, of what was to be said in the speeches of the night, of the places to be covered. The man showed a genius for leadership and direction that was amazing. He developed a power of succinctly presenting the facts, which in large measure he was able to communicate to his followers. Livingstone Haldane's example had been followed by not a few young men of fortune and position. It became in a certain sense among a certain set the fashion to campaign for Gormly. Automobiles of all sorts were available for transporting speakers, and classes and social distractions were wiped out in the greater issues involved. By these methods what was picturesequally described in the city papers as a whirlwind campaign was inaugurated. It must not be supposed that the opposition was idle; by no means. Never had its activities been so great, its energies so manifestly put forth. It had welcomed with joy the news of the refusal of Gormly to become the candidate of the minority party. Liffey had at once decided in his own mind that that settled the issue. Even further sighted men like Butherford were of the same opinion. Haldane alone, the wisest, shrewdest, and ablest of the group, was not convinced, and under his vigorous though secret wrigles the-ring redoubled its efforts to best the man. At the proper time the proposition from the party in power to make a combination with the outs was sprung upon the public. It was hailed on one side as an evidence of the fairness of the party in power and the Sachem society, which many people imagined needed no alliance of that kind. It was considered as testimony to the fact that the party in power had nothing to conceal, since it admitted the outs to its councils, and that it was sincerely desirous of giving New York a business administration in which all factions and parties should be represented. There was truth in the contention, too. The only faction or party that would not be represented by this alliance would be the common people. Wiser heads, however, realized that altruistic methods were inconsistent entirely with the real spirit of either party and saw in the alliance a confession of weakness. And the editorial contingent of the Gormly papa seized upon this idea and made the most of it. In the beginning, Gormly's advertisements, including his political manifestos, had been printed in every paper in the city. They were paid for as other advertisements are—and why not? But the Bachem society had put the screws on certain journals which owed much to its influence, and because of this pressure they had summarily refused any more of Gormly's unique proclamations. They professed themselves entirely r the Necessary Expenses." ready to print his business advertisements at the usual rates. Gormly retaliated, of course, by withdrawing all advertising of any sort from them, and doubling the space he purchased in the other papers. Naturally, therefore, the press divided in two sections; those that were controlled by the party in power, and those that were favorable to the new candidate. Incidentally, nothing that he could have said or done could have so increased the business of his story. His business rivals and associates indeed suggested, and the suggestion was quickly seized upon by the administration papers, that the whole thing was a clever advertising dodge, and that Gormly was simply using his candidacy to boom his business. There was no satisfactory answer to this argument, which was one of the best that could have been devised by the opposition, and it was harped upon immensely, although their leader was vigorously justified from this charge by his army of fighters. The expenses of the campaign were enormous. Not one cent was paid out for bribery or for the purpose of influencing votes in any improper way; but the hiring of halls, the payment of the expenses of meetings, organization, transportation, printing, salaries, and so on aggregated an extraordinary sum. Even Gormly himself had not realized how great these expenses would be; but he paid them without bleaching. His resources were vast. He put at the disposal of his candidacy all the accumulations and earnings of twenty-five years. He saw that by the time the vote was taken, his ready money would be expended. Of course, he would still have his great business, which would be entirely unaccounted; but everything else would go. He still kept to his plan of printing every week sworn statements of his expenses, challenging the other party to do the same. The reason the society did not publish its expense account was not because it was ashamed THE COURIER. of the amount, for it was vastly greed or than what Gormly expended. They had nearly as many expenses as he except for the newspaper advertising which they got free, and in addition they disburse an immense bribery and corruption fund through Liffy, Connell, Haberbier and Benson. Again and again were Haldane and his associates called upon for remittances, which were invariably forthcoming. There was no possibility of refusal. Failure to win a victory would mean financial ruin to many of them. Fortunately for him, it did not mean so much to Haldane, although his great fortune would be seriously impaired by defeat. Most of the others, however, had turned over everything that they possessed, and pledged their credit as well, to the vast syndicate of which he was the head. Indeed, he and Van Slykes would be the only ones not totally ruined by the election of Gormly. Consequently they paid and paid and paid, protecting in their hearts but shutting their teeth grimly and handing out the cash, which was disbursed to the best advantage by Lifey and Benson. Gormly himself spoke every night somewhere, and the crowds that greeted him were enormous. Meanwhile every detective in the employ of the city, and all others who could be suborned, were concentrating their efforts on Gormly's past and present. He could not take a step outside of his office without being shadowed. It was not difficult for spies to mingle with the crowd of buyers in his store and scrutinize, every person who entered his private room. They had so far discovered nothing. Gormly had lived an absolutely clean, upright, honest, hardworking life since he landed in New York. They did not find out where he came from or even where he was born. The only possible clue they had was the statement that he had once been in the west, with which Haldane had supplied them. Men had secured the principal cities of the west; but nothing had been learned. Connell was in despair. He and Liffey and Benson had again and again been on the eve of determining upon the manufacture of some degrading or incriminating story which would at least serve their purpose. It would not be difficult to get witnesses to such an endeavor; but it would be highly dangerous to resort to such an expedient, and they were still hesitating and undecided. About this time the disputed franchise expired. A resolution was immediately introduced in the board of aldgren at the city hall granting a renewal of it to the Gotham Freight Traction company. Every move in the game was watched, and the resolution had scarcely been read and referred to a committee when it was communicated to Gormly. The next day the Gormly papers mang with the charge that the city fathers intended to give away its most valuable remaining public franchise to the Gotham Freight Traction company. At the next meeting, despite the furious protests of the Gormly party, the resolution was put upon its passage. Gormly here played his greatest political card. Attended by a body of friends, he presented himself at the council chamber and forced admission. When the resolution renewing the franchise was about to be voted upon, as a citizen of New York deeply interested in the matter he demanded to be heard. Before permission was either granted or refused by the astonished presiding officer, Gormly drew from his pocket a piece of paper. Amid the deepest silence he held it up and said: BILL NYE ON FOX HUNTING He Considered It a Most Thrilling Pastime for Sons of the American Nobility. "Fox-hunting is one of the most thrilling pastimes of which I know," said Bill Nye, "and for young men whose parents have amassed large sums of money in the intellectual pursuit of hides and tallow, the meet, the chase, the scamper, the full cry, the cover, the stellated fracture, the yelp of the pack, the yip, the yell of triumph, the confusion, the whoop, the hole, the haloos, the hurrah, the abrasion, the snort of the hunter, the conclusion, the sward, the open, the earthstopper, the strangulated hernia, the glad/cry of the hound as he lays at his master's feet the strawberry mark of the rustic, all, all are exhilarating to the sons of the American nobility. Fox-hunting combines the danger and the wild tumultuous joy of the skating rink, the googlesgobble, the mush-and-milk socable and the straw ride. For the young American nobleman whose ducal father made his money by inventing a fiuent pill, or who gained his great wealth through relishing humanity by means of a lung-pad, a liverpad, a kidney-pad or a foot-pad, fox-hunting is first rate." Did Not Know Own Child. Of unassigned paintings the Russel-dorfer Zettung tells an amusing story which may interest picture buyers. Achenbach, the German artist, enjoyed a vogue about ten years ago. A certain collector had bought from an art dealer a seascape represented as a genuine Achenbach. Afterward it was pronounced to be a copy. The buyer brought an action against the dealer who turned the tables by declaring that his picture was genuine, and the other was a copy. Achenbach himself was summoned by the courts to tell which was which. Amazed at the absolute similarity of the two paintings, he gazed at them for a long time, inspected them closely, front and back, sniffed them, and then frankly admitted he could not tell which was the original and which the copy. The Cat Did It. At East Liverpool, O., a boy was told to carry a cat away and drown her. He put her in a covered basket and started off; but she got out of the basket and in running away frightened a horse into running away. The animal ran for a mile and then hit a telephone pole and was killed. The boy got a licking, the cat got away and a $200 horse was killed, all because nobody knew enough to tie a bell to pussy's tail and let her scare herself out of the neighborhood. The bell will work the trick every time. UNIONTOWN SPARKS AND FLASHES St. Paul A. M. E. Church. Last Sunday was three quarterly meeting day at St. Paul. Rev. R. H. Bunny, P.

For some time the respective leaders of President Taft and the strenuous Teddy have been declaring the victory won for their man, and all other proceedings unnecessary. But the Steam Roller at Chicago is having something to say every day. Of the contested delegates, Mr. Taft has all of them but one, at this writing, and the present outlook indicates that he will get as many more as the committee think he needs to secure control of the convention and secure the nomination. The Roosevelt men have evidently taken a firm stand against the action of the committee in seating Taft delegates. Talk of bolting can be heard; schemes to stumpede the convention are not unheard of; while a second convention is not at all an impossibility. One thing is certain, the people will elect the president next fall regardless of whom the convention nominates at Chicago. The people seem to have very little to say at this stage of the game: but the bosses, chairmen and leaders just as well prepare for the rebuke of their lives in the fall. If the convention does not voice the sentiment of the people. The steam roller process has become so bold in its operations that the engineers no longer seek to operate from behind closed doors, but stop right into the open, in the face of the people, and apply the roller with telling effect, regardless of the expression of the people. President Taft can never win in the fall. Mr. Roosevelt's chances have been lessened since the gathering of the committee at Chicago. And the people have already begun to look over the field for a man suitable for the job. Of all candidates, including "black norse," W. J. Bryan has the best to be the next occupant of the White House, unless the people see better results after the convention convenes than they have had from the committee now in session. And if we must have a dark horse, as has been said, what's the matter with Booker Washington? ONLY 9.362-ABLE TO VOTE. Figures, like doilars, always talk. Now we have the report of the census bureau showing that there are in the city of Pittsburgh only 9.362 Negroes who are qualified to vote from the standpoint of age. These figures will awaken the sleeping politicians, who have been asking for patronage on a basis of twenty-five and thirty thousand Negro voters. It is now apparent that the white man has all along known the actual voting strength of the Negro, and has handed out patronage accordingly. This report will serve a double purpose: it will force the Negroes to register and prepare to cast the ballot, and at the same time expose the political boss who has been feeding fat on the representation that there are thirty thousand Negro voters in Pittsburgh and vicinity. While the figures are not exactly correct, for many Negroes were not listed owing to their frequent change of residence, yet they are sufficient, to give us an explanation of the difference between our own city and its political patronage, and Philadelphia. In that city there are 28,130 Negroes qualified to vote; and they enjoy a representation in the legislative body at Harrisburg. We, with less than one-third their strength are fighting for a representative on a thirty thousand basis. The folly of it all becomes evident when the figures are read. What we need here is to get down to business and strengthen our forces and stop our false representation to the white man. We might just as well prepare to hear these figures read to us for the next ten years, and our patronage handed out to us on the actual basis. Figures talk louder than any politician; facts count for more than all the ward heeling of which the professions are capable, and until we can follow the example of Philadelphia, we may as well content ourselves with what we have. If the white man has been misled in the past, he has the data now with which to close the mouth of the man clamoring for political patronage. The political field is untouched here, as the figures show, and what must be done, and that soon, is the organization of the Negroes of this city and vicinity for the purpose of qualifying themselves to cast a ballot corresponding to their numerical strength. THE CUBAN SITUATION. The present uprising in Cuba has assumed unexpected proportions, and comment as to the final outcome can be heard on every hand. It is unfortunate that the situation has been discussed so extensively by persons knowing little or nothing of the facts. That the 'Cubans are divided politically, and decidedly so, is best evidenced by the fact that each faction has its specific head. The Liberals look to President Gomez, the Revolutionist, or the Negro party, as it is called, are fed by General Estenoz while the Conservatives, the third faction, have entrusted their interests to the hands of General Menocal. It must not be thought that these leaders are ignorant men who do not know the entire situation thoroughly; they are capabale men, versed in the art of war as well as learned in the science of government. The chief difference between the factions may be attributed to the race mixture constituting the population: The Negroes, there as well as here, have become the victims of prejudice and unfair dealing. When the Isla and was under Spanish rule and labored under the yoke of oppression, there was perfect harmony among the people regardless of color; but as soon as the common enemy was driven from the island, the Negroes became the object of contempt. Social distinction has arisen and political discrimination practiced, according to the claim of Estenoz, leader of the Negro party, who claims that as much attention should be paid to the Negroes as any other class of citizens, and to that end be enrolled 60,000 Negro voters and launched a periodical which soon grew to an enormous circulation. The Estenoz faction grew so rapidly that a Liberalist, also a Negro, but opposed to Estenoz, introduced a measure which is commonly known as the Marua law, forbidding the formation of parties of any kind along racial lines. The passage of the law caused a protest from all of the Estenoz faction of Cuba, and so bitter was their denunciation of Morua that he is said to have died of grief. At the election following the passage of the law, the Negro party was nominated a gang of conspirators and many of them imprisoned. Now the claim of the Negro party is that they have been deprived of their rights; that they and their cause have been misrepresented in the public press for the purpose of creating sentiment against them. The Liberals charge the Negro party with a lack of patriotism, using the Morua law as their reason, to which the Negroes reply that if any people are opposed because of the color of their skin, that people has a right to organize for the protection of that skin. There is little doubt that Gomez is determined to crush the Independent Colored party, and his tactics evidences his determination. Negroes are bound in chains and ordered shot for alleged assaults upon women, and the photographs of such Negroes have been made and distributed throughout the United States. Estenoz claims that Gomez is seeking the Intervention of the United States to crush one portion of Cuban citizens and exalt the other, with Gomez at the head of the exalted portion. Whatever the differences may be, it is certain that annexation is not the expedient thing at this juncture, however much Uncle Sam may desire to expand his territory.

Hackley, who was the American representative, sang with great success."—(Paris Notes) London Daily Mail. PARIS "It was our privilege to hear and to applaud Mme. Hackley, an American canatrite, whose powerful and melodious voice poured out in perfect tones and captivating simplicity."—Le Bulletin. "Finally, we had again the good fortune to hear Mrs. E. A. Hackley, so popular in the United States and with 'La Francaise.' She sang deliciously an old Scotch song, and 'Spring' brought her veritable success. Her voice, fresh and thrilling, is of great purity, and she interprets with exquisite art. She plays with difficulties and enthuses and charms her auditors."—La Francaise Journal du Progress Feminin. BOSTON "Mrs. Hackley, one of the graduates of the University of Denver College of Music, has a superb voice, splendid musical temperament and is a brilliant coloratura singer. She is in every way a remarkable woman."—Boston Musical Record. "She is undoubtedly the most cultivated artist of her race, also a musician to her finger tips. She played all her own accompaniments, prefaced her songs with pleasing descriptions, and gave a series of exceedingly interesting demonstrations. Madame Hackley has many enviable possessions, quite aside from her splendid musical gifts, which include an attractive and graceful stage presence, a very pleasant speaking voice and a strong sense of humor. These remarkable qualities fit her admirably for her work, as a singer, teacher and illustrator of methods. Her experience has been invaluable and every lover of music, American or Afro-American, might hear her with profit to themselves. She is mistress of all the embellishments known to the vocal art, and has very clear, intelligent and original ideas on the placement of voices. Her songs were sung with all the artistry of the finished singer. It is a matter of regret that all Columbus music-lovers might not have the privilege of hearing Madame Hackley."—Sunday Columbus (O.) Dispatch, May 21, 1911. "With the notes of a thrush she demonstrated voice culture and explained how the brilliant notes of finished artists are formed. She explained about the muscles used and exercised by great singers. She interpreted the songs of some of the great composers and before singing explained what the song meant. She left her audience of white and colored with a clearer knowledge of music than many of them had ever had before. Whether singing or talking she was interesting."—Omaha Morning World-Herald, June 7, 1911. "Madame Hackley rendered a splendid exhibition of her rare musical talent. As a singer she is never surpassed. That she is the most cultivated Afro-American musician is a distinction which but few would deny her. It seems as if nature has exhausted herself upon this woman. She is admirably fitted for the great work she is doing. Her demonstration and lecture on voice culture increases her usefulness. Her recital was highly entertaining and of immense value to all who heard her. Much good is to come to the race through Madame Hackley."—Western Index, Topeka, Kansas, June 21, 1911. "She came, she saw, she conquered Houston. Her name is now a household word in Houston. To say she made a hit with her vocal demonstration is telling it mildly. The United States is her field, but the South particularly is where her name and fame will emblazon race history in future years."—Texas Freeman, March 4, 1911. "Knoxville was charmed by the most amiable, genial and instructive personality it has been our good fortune to know. A grand opera singer, a woman of rich enthusiasm, with sound sense, brain power and magnificent possibilities. We heartily commend her. Her appearance at Knoxville College and the Mount Zion Church are worth more than thousands of dollars to the people of Knoxville."—The Afro-American Review, April 8, 1911. "Everybody in Birmingham attempted to gain entrance to the Congregational Church Friday night, January 13th. I was amazed at the vigor, sweetness, freshness and compelling power of her voice after eight years of constant use as a soloist and teacher. She is a finished artist, and sustained her reputation. All Birmingham feels proud of Madame Hackley."—Birmingham American, February 21, 1911. "One is unable to describe this gifted woman of our rare. Her enchanting singing, charming presence and demonstrations encourage the lowliest to higher things and awaken ambition."—Fort Smith Appreciator, February 17th, 1911. "Last Wednesday Philadelphia was represented in Columbia by Madame Hackley. During the day she gave demonstration lectures to three institutions, and at night Goppin Hall was crowded. Madame Hackley sang in her own inimitable style. She taught them her unique method of developing musical powers and finally put her instruction into immediate practice by teaching the entire big audience to sing three songs in a most expressive way. To say the audience was delighted is putting it rather mildly. Columbians are now wanting Madame Hackley to tarry in their midst. She has awakened more musical enthusiasm, created a healthy unrest, and there is a strong determination to have more of her rare culture. She has left her impress upon students, teachers and parents."—Columbia (S. C.) Letter, Philadelphia Tribune, April 20, 1911. "The appearance of Madame E. Azalia Hackley was the most exquisite musical performance which has been given in this city. She conducts her own program from start to finish and completely electrifies her audience. She has complete control of her voice. She is a marvel to the exacting critic. The Southland has grown so enthusiastic over Madame Hackley that she has consented to spend some of her time there.

With the finding of the body of 5-year-old Elsworth Behannon, son of Mrs. Ida Caperton Bohannon, who disappeared from his home at 1417 Page street, North Side, last week, floating in the Ohio river at the foot of Beaver avenue, at 6 a.m., another mysterious disappearance has been cleared up.

Graceful East Indians Describing the women of India, a writer says: "Even the most wither toll-worn hag has a dignity of carriage and a grace of motion that the western woman might envy. The 'sarl' is draped, in an easy flowing style and adjusted as it slips back with a graceful turn of the silver bangled arm, the skinny legs move rhythmically, and the small feet fall with a silent and pantherlike tread. It is the beauty of natural and untrammeled motion, and says much in favor of the abolition of the corset, for the Indian women retain their uprightness and suppleness of figure till bowed with age. The commonest type is the coolie woman, who undertakes all sorts of rough work, carrying heavy burdens on her head, and she is, perhaps, the least attractive, for her workaday garments are usually faded and dirty, yet, even among this poor class of burden breeds, we see many with handsome straight features and supply well修饰ed figures. "No matter how poor their garments, a worry of some sort is worse, necklaces of gold or beads, colored glass or silver bangles and heavy silver earrings." INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (By E. O.

Following the imprisonment of John by Herod, Jesus, for diplomatic reasons, made Capernaum his head quarters, and it was in Galilee that his great popular ministry was performed Meanwhile John is shut up in the fortress at Machaerus, on the east side of the Dead Sea. For one who had beet so intensely active to be obliged to sit idly by and walt while another's name and fame increases daily was a severe test of faith. His prototype Elijah, had to meet a similar testing (1 Kings 19: 3, 4); why, therefore we need wonder that doubts should arise in the mind of the greatest "born of woman?" Not one of us as self-samilar with the experiences of life and the subtlety of temptation will be surprised when under these circumstances we read of John's question, v. 2.6. This doubt is so natural that it bears upon its very face the stamp of being genuine and that the record was not fabricated. It is not noticeable in the form of John's question that he had no doubt as to the character of Jesus, the genuineness of his miracles, nor any question but that he was sent of God, but still he questioned, "is this the Messiah?" "is this the one whom all the prophets from Moses to Malachi said was to come or do we look for another? I frankly disclaimed being the Messiah, you are a truthful man, and I am willing to accept your word, are you the Christ?" John was not envious (John 3:27-36) he was too great a man to be that but yet Jesus had not wielded the an as he had expected, hence the men senger to Jesus, and this frank question. John sets us the good example of taking his doubts to Jesus, and Jesus in a most tender way answers his doubting and at the same time turns it to his own advantage in con firming his claims as the Messiah John Sought Not His Own Glory. The second half of the lesson is the tribute of Jesus to the life and character of John the Baptist. Jesus has as we have just seen, sent his word of comfort and cheer to John when he turns to the multitudes with a highly eulogistic testimony as to John's work his worth and his greatness. True, his faith seemed to be shaken for the moment, but John was not a "reed shaken of the wind." indeed not. John was not a man seeking his own glory (Luke 3:16) nor his own comfort (Matt. 3:1, 4). He was not clad slumpously (Luke 7:25). No, John was a prophet, a man sent, commissioned, in spired of God. He had authority to speak for God (Luke 1:16, 26) in declaring God's will to man. Yes, John is all of this and more, for he was him self the subject of Old Testament prophecy (Mal. 3:1, etc.). This John was chosen among all men to go be fore his face and to prepare a highway in the minds and hearts of Israel over which Jesus the Messiah might enter and begin the establishing of this new kingdom. It was in performing this service that John filled one of the highest offices ever filled by man. In this eulogy we need to recall the diffence in the miraculous birth of these two men. John supernaturally born of natural parentage Jesus naturally born of woman but conceived of the Holy Spirit, hence the words of Jesus are to be understood that among purely human beings "none greater was born of woman." Went to Christ Himself. Jesus' words in verse 15 are tremendous with import. Literally he says: "I have told you these things about John and about my kingdom, now you who have ears have an obligation resting upon you because of what I have told you." There was need of their understanding and accepting an important teaching, but the unreasonable Scribes and Pharisees would accept neither the austere John nor the more social Jesus. John would not join in their galty. Jesus mourned not but led a more joyous life, yet they rejected him also. This "Son of Man," not of a man nor the man but son of man, of humanity, known as friend of the needy and the outcast, is himself cast out by the religious-leaders of his time. Nevertheless in the wisdom of God (Luke 11:49) both John the Baptist, and Jesus the Son of man and Mary, have been sent and the results of their lives and of their teachings prove them to be a part of God's wise plan. God's wisdom is justified (v. 10) by its workings or as some translate it by its "children." Great as was John the forerunner, yet he that is in this newer kingdom Jesus came to establish it vastly greater than the old hobrism. John in the old would seize the kingdom by force and contrary to all human conceptions of kingship. His work was apparently without program or policy. it was devoid of army, and this very method was a variance, at violence, with the natural pride and prejudice of the human heart. One of the six Panama commissioners was, a few years ago, a cub reporter at five dollars per week, and during that time was much perplexed over the problems of the Christian life and tormented by his doubts. Four successive nights he discussed the matter with his pastor; on the fifth he came with radiant face to inform his pastor that all his questionings were settled for, said he, "I went to Christ himself."

IS FULL OF COMPLEXITIES Drawback to ‘the Much Vaurited Sim- ple Life te That It ts Not Simpie. The teal drawback to “the simple life" 1s that {t is not simple. If you are living it, you positively can do nothing else. There is not time. For the simple life demands virtually that there shall be no specialtzation. The hausfrau who Is living the simple life must, after all, sweep, scour, wash and mend. She must also cook; from that even Battle Creek eapnot save her. She may dream sternly of Margaret Fuller, who read Plato while she pared apples; but in her secret heart she knows that either Plato or the ap- ples suffered. And Grom what point of view {s it simpler to bave a mald of all work than to indulge one’s self In llverfed lackeys? Not, obviously, for the mistress; and it is surely sim- pler to be an adequate second foot- man than to be an adequate bonne & tout faire. We should really simplify lite by having more servants rather than few- er; more luxury instead of less. The smoothest machinery 1s the most com- pileated; and which of us wants to sink the Mauretania and go back to Robert Fulton's steamboat? Ce would think that the decision wculd be made naturally for one by one’s income. But it fs the triumph of the new paradox that this {s not 20. Thousands of people seem to be in- fected with the {dea that by doing more themselves, they bestow leisure on others; that by wearing shabby clothes they somehow make It possi- ble for others to dress better—though they thus admit tacitly that lelsure sng sasince are not evil things.—K.

We were present recently at a meeting in which one of the speakers, an old friend of ours, discussed some phases of Murray's "Race Ideals," and objected in his own vigorous way to certain conclusions reached by that author. Seeing us in the audience, he stated that he objected to our own position on the same phase of that subject. The doctrine or idea to which our friend objected so strongly was that of building up race enterprises by race patronage. He took the ground that in advocating the patronage of these enterprises by negroes we are likely to stir up race prejudice, or at least that we would be construed as doing so; and that when the negro boy or girl is taught or urged to spend money with the negro in business, that boy or girl is not likely to feel hatred towards the white man who is not getting that trade. It is a vital argument and because it may possibly represent the ideas and thoughts of hundreds of others who habitually treatment, we purpose to examine the argument and see if it has its foundation in feet or fancy. And we do so, not out of any spirit of ill will, for we concede to every man the same right that we claim, for ourselves the right to examine any subject fearlessly and to derive from it any conclusion that may seem to be warranted by the facts in hand, and this without worrying a moment as to whether that conclusion does or does not coincide with that of the majority. The situation that confronts us as a race today is this: We are very largely a race without jobs. We are preparing thousands of boys and girls for jobs which—so fat as they and we are concerned—do not now exist, but must be created. The jobs must be supplied by the race or these boys and girls must remain out of such jobs, and the race must content itself by trying to rise only by remaining "hewers of wood and drawers of water." The white man has jobs in abundance, but as long as human nature remains as it is he is going to give the best of those jobs to his own people, and we don't blame him a bit. Our contention has always been that instead of expecting the white man to furnish these jobs for us and of getting riled at him because he doesn't do so, the best thing for us to do is to set to work systematically to create and develop these jobs. There is only one way to do this and that is by our supporting them. Until about two decades ago we were laboring under an impression similar to that under which many young convert labor: they get converted, join the church and figure that in six months thereafter they will be in heaven. It used to be thought by many of us that education would solve all of our difficulties. Instead it has added to all other people. As education increases we find that "Hills peep over hills, and Alps on Alps arise." We must scale them or remain in the valley. Some of us have our faces turned to the east—to sunrise, not sunset—and our gaze fixed on the horizon in the purple distance. There are hundreds of young men and women in various schools who are studying pharmacy, stenography, bookkeeping, journalism, etc. is there any likelihood that they can find employment in the white man's business enterprises suitable to their talents? They have about as much show for that as they have of becoming president of the United States. It is just probable that the ownership of land by the negro causes prejudice on the part of some white people. Shall we quit buying land? And if it be true that advocating the patronage of negro enterprises by negroes causes race prejudice shall everybody become silent and not say a mumbling word? What crime does a man commit when he so advises? Is it any crime for a boy to be taught that if he ever expects to hold a job as a clerk, bookkeeper, journalist, bank banker, etc., he will have to look to his own people for the same, and that he must contribute his share now in hiring to build up enterprises of the sort and make place for himself. Is he likely to conceive any hatred toward the white man on that account? And isn't it better that he should be shown the situation now, rather than make preparation and then become "soured" because the white man won't give him any such place. If my friend is right in his argument, then the idea that gave existence to the National Negro Business league is dead wrong and when a black man establishes a little grocery store one among the negroes the logical method will be for everybody to play "mum" both with tongue and money. And further—and we press this point—if one is stirring up race hatred by advocating the support of negro enterprises by negroes, what is that man doing who is actually daring to spend his money with negroes? One reason why thinking negroes are saying and doing so much along this line is this: the "other" man may open up a business and he looks for and gets his trade from everybody. The negro opens up and he must rely for his trade almost en The flood conditions in Arkansas have greatly hindered church activities. It has been raising every week since November. The presiding elders have not been able to hold more than five successful quarterly meetings since conference. Because the preparation for crops could not go forward, the land owners have withheld money and provisions and a very precarious condition prevails. It is more than certain that the late crops will greatly affect the church returns in the fall. Indeed several delegates may not be tirely upon the negro. Why the better class of white do not hesitate to say that negroes ought to patronize one another. Does the doctrine become dangerous when advocated by a negro? We believe our friend's argument is based, upon a vicious fallacy—a fallacy that is rendered untenable by the facts in hand. We believe racial ill will to be far less in evidence where there are thriving negro business enterprises than where the negro has nothing and wants nothing of the sort. But why talk? The facts remain that if a man goes in to swim he runs some risk of being drowned, especially if he is trying to learn how to swim, and that other fact is equally inexorable: he never will learn how to swim until he does get in the water. From everywhere come reports that the negro is going into the commercial waters and challenging all the dangers and perils involved. Other rates have done and are doing the same. Why not the negro? Turner's book, "The Pennsylvania Negro," is a comprehensive and fair historical estimate, and students are reading it with acidity. Recently the papers have been Weming with letters on this work, and although men have drawn conclusions, the consensus is indeed favorable in the matter of accuracy. One striking feature is, the part played by the Quakers in the matter of practical aid and sympathy for the colored people of Pennsylvania and elsewhere. Very many colored people either condemn or fail to award the Quakers their just due. In the first place this sect has always consistently and rigidly lived up to conscience. What they exact from themselves, they demand from others. They have always paid promptly and made others do likewise. When they bargain for work, the bargain must be lived up to. An appointment for a certain hour means that. Some people wince under a restraint, who are themselves lax of habit. All these things foster prejudice; but what is needed is to approach the attitude of the Quakers with a dispassionate mind. The best way is to recount just what they did. It is true that they were to a degree slave holders at the beginning and for the reason of the paucity of unskilled labor. They did not see the enormity of human bondage as quickly as the Germans, because they really began to wage war against the system as early as 1688 in Pennsylvania, but when they did, it became general. Even when chattel ownership was common, it was mollified by the Quakers in ways unlike others. They clothed them better, fed them decently and made it a point to teach them trades and text books.—Pencil Pusher in Philadelphia Tribune. Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan, the great American financier, talking of the money loss by the wrecking of the Titanic to a Paris reporter, said: "Oh, some one pays. - There is no such thing as money losses in existence." That is interesting, from so high an authority. The infirmsic value of the ship and the actual cash and jewelry values that were sunk to the bottom of the sea cannot be recovered, but the compensation will be made by wealth out of the sea in other forms, such as fish for food, salt, pearls, and the like, but the recompensation cannot be got without the expenditure of other values in cost of machinery and of labor. The wealth is not lost, it is true, but is withdrawn from immediate availability for useful purposes. Years ago a young colored boy named Douglass went to Europe and studied the violin under the celebrated Rapoldi, a pupil of the master Spohr. He returned to America; but what was there in America for a colored man who knew music and who knew it better than his white contemporaries? He could do little, but one thing he did do which bore fruit. He saw a little white boy trying to teach himself to play theiddle. He taught this little boy and the boy is now David Mannes, director of the New York Music School Settlement. Is it not fitting that David Mannes should be the prime mover in the establishment of a music school for Negroes now conducted in this city by David Irwin Mannes at The Crisis. We have had but little spring, and summer is now upon us. And we should not forget to make every preparation to buy a home, because, if a poor man has a chance to lay aside anything toward the purchase price of a home, it is in the summer time. For this is the season which brings to a lower ebb the cost of living. And thus he is enabled to lay aside a few dollars. And we hope that the saving made in this way will be applied on a home.—Omaha Enterprise. Tom Kennedy and Carl Morris, "white hopes," who were once clamoring for Johnson's scalp, have retired to the "also run" class. A newspaper speculation has it that Johnson himself intends retiring after July 4. but we are of the opinion the wish is father of the thought, for If Johnson wins on that date he has a $30,000 fight, win, lose or draw, with Langford in London, says a dispatch. able to get to the general conference on account of the floods.—Missionary Seer. Some of our friends delight to harp on what they used to do and what they used to be. That old racket won't win. We are living in the present, not in the past. Instead of making that old holer, they should crow on what I am now and what I can do today. This is a show me age, hence. it is up to the back numbers to get next—Texas Freeman. MISS CORENE FRAZIER BROWN PASSED AWAY. (Continued From Page One.) was in this city that little, Corene was blessed and protected with the special care of her devoted brother, Ruben, a survivor. He was not alone in his efforts; for the entire family united with him in the endeavor to develop the sublim- character that made Mrs. Brown noble. Having received a public school training in this city, she matriculated in the Wayland Seminary, then located at Washington, D.C. For three years she sat at the feet of Dr. King, receiving profound instruction, associated with such scholarly contemporaries as Prof. J. K. L. Digs, ex-president of the Virginia Theological Seminary and College and others who were forced to acknowledge her profound ability to grape with science and art of literature. So unassuming and modest was she that one must be in direct contact with her to know of her knowledge and wisdom of things. She was an accomplished songster and pianist. 17 years old sister Corene let Christ fully into her life. Corene let Christ fully into her life. Silhou Baptist church, now Rodman Street, pastored by Dr. O. S. Simms. She was baptized in the Ebenezer Baptist church by the Rev. P. F. Gibson (deceased). This was the turning point in her life for the world's best good. She consecrated the truth of her life and the truth of her 21 years service in the Master's cause and especially the 14 years 10 months and especially the 14 years associated with Dr. Brown in the marvelous work accomplished by him. July 28, 1897, in this city, Rev. W. Brown, D. D. and Miss Corene E. Frazier were united in holy wedlock. Rev. Samuel Smith Dilificated. This was God's approved and the pastor of the High Street Baptist church, Roanoke, Va. Heavy responsibilities rested upon him. He had the care of a large church with many intricate problems to deal with in addition to five young children to care for Mrs. Brown with her devoted husband to up these responsibilities without fear or complaint and massed the situation from the day of her marriage to the day of her death. She spent four years and 10 months in the service of the Master, in the interest of the people in Va., and was loved by who met her. The floral heart beat by the High Street Baptist church emphasizes the high esteem cherished for her and family. It is a testimony of her "living words often repeated." Let Jesus in your life." The remainder of her marriage life was spent in the Lord's service in this city and in the Ebenezer Baptist church of which she was a member at the time of her death. How well she wrought and how ideal her character and department was is better emphasized in her life than human tongue can express. As a wife she was loving, kind, patient and true. A neat housekeeper and economic in the administration of her domestic affairs. To her must be given the credit for the accomplishment of the beautiful home now occupied by the family; for she knew how to apply the earnings intrusted to her by her devoted husband. As a preacher's wife I have yet to meet her equal. She was ever vigilant and asserted her influence in every phase of her husband's life as a minister and a father. But she was always discrete and exercised extreme precaution during a controversy between pastor and congregation. She only possessed the gold of silence for she could hold her peace when in the presence of those who would intuitively hurl their bitter epithets against her husband in the endavor to do him harm. Dr. Brown could always rely upon her counsel, for with him she saved daily to God for grace to sustain them during life's struggle. I pause here to say that she offered fire in trying to make it pleasant for those whom was her husband's pleasure to have in the home. Dr. and Mrs. Brown's home was a rest for the preachers and Christian workers. Two boys, Governor and Stanley, are the results of this happy union. The other five children, the results of the doctor's first marriage, cheerished the same sweet relation to Mrs. Drown as her own; for she was all to them that a mother could be the exception of being their mother by conception. She taught them by precept and example. She was kind in her expression to the children but positive in her manners. She taught them as she having authority and not as acribe. In the truest sense of the word she was a mother. But she is no more. She leaves a devoted husband, seven children, three brothers, Jerrett F. Seth and Ruben Frazier; a sister, Mrs. Emma Brown and a host of relatives and friends to mourn their loss of her. friends. Dear friends, she leaves not with you a legacy of gold, for it is not greatness. She leaves not wealth for it is not worth. She leaves not money for it will perish. But she leaves in the home, in the church, in the state and world a perpetual monument of true womanhood. I beg of you to leave her mantle fall on you and go through the world doing good as did she with her Lord and Master, death are Her apparent premature pears to us a mystery; but we know so little that we are unqualified to form a correct estimate of the events which happens us. This should induce us to wait with patience upon the evolution of God's power. Let us cease to be troubled. The gloomy cloud which threatens us will in a short duration unfold itself and shed on us a brightness in the darkness. The thick darkness is the harde of the dawn "Weeping may enclosure for a night but joy will come in the morning." We need mystery, darkness and sorrow. Not until the everlasting day breaks and the shadows flee away, and the Lord Himself' shall be our light can we do without the cloud in the sunshine, and the shadow of sorrow in the bright light of joy. Sister Brown is gone but not out of existence. Her works still speak in Death is not annihilation; it is simply a change in the mode of being and state." Ascend from the body, and the Lord." and threshers. The voyager knows that he is apraoching the shores of the land to which he sails by the sea weed that throus upon the sea, and the birds that hover about the shim, and some time by the trappings of the groves and flowers that is alive upon the breeze. So it is with the saints as they near near the Celestial City; they catch a vision of unfaded glory, the gates of pearl, the sapphire thence the crystal river and the white robe multitude, with their palms of the umph, their songs of praise and harps of gold.

Do Not Lose Your Temper Anger is a lack of sense. That is to say, a man is not as sensible when he is angry as he is at other times. He may be angry and still have more sense than some people have when they are not angry, but he is not as wise when he is angry as at other times. He cannot reason so well; his brain does not work if as same a groove; he is more foolish than other people who may have much less sense than he has when he is in good humor.

"Some folks wonder at the miracles in the Good Book, but God did the biggest and most unexplainable thing when he gave woman the privilege of being a mother. You might marry another man some time, but, there's something man never forget, and that is that Perk is the father of Lucille and Mary Jane. It's something that demands from you a lot of forgiveness, if need be, for whatever he does. I don't think there is any divorce that God's a-goin't to recognise which separates fathers and mothers. He might overlook their livin' apart from each other if things went too far crosswise. but I doubt if he's goin't to affairs up in heaven after the judgment day by sayin' "Mr. Smith" the courts down there in the U.S. A. S. says you can't got no right to call this woman your wife and so I'm givin' her to Mr. Jones, who married her these years after she got her decree. He'll take care of your angel children and you'll go to go way back and sit down."
