III. NO. 27. WORK OF H DR. SCOTT'S II AT PITTS Interesting Feature Conference Affo terial For De IS BACK FROM By Miss ELIZABETH JONES. Pittsburgh - Interest in the work of Bethel A. M. E. church continues to grow. The Rev. Dr. P. A. Scott has thoroughly demonstrated his ability as a leader during his brief pastorate in this city. The membership of Bethel has been largely increased and plans perfected for the full development of all departments of the church. On his return from the general conference of the A. M. E. church, recently held in Kansas City, Mo. Dr. Scott delivered a most excellent discourse to the congregation, taking for his subject "Echoes of the General Conference." The address covered a wide field of thought and activity, touching the work of the denomination. [Picture of a man with a beard and a suit] DR. P. A. SCOTT. Dr. Scott said in part: "My trip to Kansas City covered a period of three weeks. I was charmed with the scenery as I passed through Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. I was especially impressed with the evenness of the landscape and the richness of the soil. Upon reaching the Union station in St. Louis I was especially attracted by the beauty and grandeur of that great structure, which I believe to be more magnificent than the Union station in Washington. "I visited many of the places of interest in this great western metropolis and admired its beautiful buildings, but noticed that they are not so high as the buildings in many eastern cities. Upon inquiry I was informed that the strong winds that frequently strike THE FLINNITES QUIT BUT RETURN TO CONVENTION No Decision Yet By the Committee On Credentials. Turmoil Still Reigns. TURBULENT PENNSYLVANIANS Columbia, July 15, 1917, of Pennsylvania, solicits in the United States National convention in New York, decided that if the Credenals Committee becomes a favorable reporting committee it delegates that, as opposed by the Roosevelt administration, it will leave the committee and I confer in the same hall or a neighboring army council a convention of the governor Colonel Roosevelt as the matter now stands, will be their presidential nominee. William Finn resisted as Pennsylvania's member of the Republican National Committee, to which peace be had been enforced on Monday to succeed Senator Boles Penrose. Republican State Chairman Henry G. Wasson was elected to succeed Finn. The purpose of Finn's action is thought to be the general belief that Roosevelt will not control the National committee of the National organization. Finn and his little army of the resident Pennsylvania delegates main occupation a position before the convention spotlight. The action of the Pittsburgher called torch a stinging rescue from United States Senator Ella Root, the temporary (patriot of the body) Another spotlight. Pennsylvanian was John Wannamaker of Philadelphia, who made a record-breaking run of some miles to cast his vote for William H. Taft. He arrived in the convention hall probably just as the most important vote of the week was taken. He scored on the Taft side and immediately got busy trying to make converts for the president. There is a possibility that Wannamaker will be considered for vice president. When asked whether he was a candidate for second place on the ticket, the Philadephian replied: "I am in the position of the woman that section make it unsafe to erect buildings to such extreme heights. "I reached Kansas City safely and found it to be a thing of beauty" as it glittered in the matchless gleam of a western cloudless sky. I was driven to Allen chapel, a most beautiful church edifice, the seat of the conference. There I met the brain and culture of the great African Methodist church from all parts of the world. Not only were there ministers, but all the professions and walks of life were represented by the laity. "The activity of the women delegates to the conference was very marked. They took part in every phase of the work and displayed much experience and good judgment in the discussions following the various reports and addresses. The address of Dr. Booker T. Washington was listened to by a great throng of some 10,000 people. His subject was 'The Mission of the A. M. E Church to the Masses of Our People.' A great chorus of 150 singers under the direction of Professor Jackson of the Western university, at Quindaro, Kan. made the music for the occasion. I am sure I have never heard such music. Mme. Marie Burton of Chidege was one of the singers and displayed marvelous vocal powers. Starting with tones soft and soothing, her voice rose and swelled and rolled until it filled the great convention hall with wondrous volume. It has been said that the west produces the finest voices, and the musical features of this conference seemed to completely verify the claim "An interesting feature during the closing week was music rendered by a brass band of colored women. They were fourteen in number, and their manipulation of the instruments was superb. While listening to them I thought if I could establish such a band among the women of my race in Pittsburgh I would be highly gratified. "I wish to thank all who helped to make this trip possible for me and feel sure that any one who will tend these great gatherings will be more than repaid for the time and expense of such a trip." Rev. Scott carried his audience with delightful rapidity in thought from Pittsburgh through Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri and Kansas into Kansas City and through the business of the general conference. "Who was questioned as to why she did not marry and she replied, 'I have never been asked.'" Mr. Amherst will make one of the speeches, condiding the nomination of President Taft and this will bring him before the convention prior to the time that second place on the ticket is to be filled. The entire session Wednesday was consumed in considering Governor Bradley's motion to substitute 75 names on the temporary roll without waiting for reference to the Committee on Credentials. In the showdown, which came after a House or Senate debate and a joint demonstration in attendance to Governor Bradley, and Colonel Roosevelt, last night presented the Tatt people elected votes to 500 for the opposition centred of the Roosevelt, Laudate and Committee delegates. This debate has been two weeks in both of which the Tatt people generally speaking, stood like a room wall, reeling every as such. The Roosevelt people claim that the last vote so far not being upon the direct question of nomination, developed an apparent strength for Tatt which he cannot maintain to the end. The colonel is quoted as saying that he will not accept nomination from a convention with a temporary roll, meaning this convention as at present organized. There is a suspicion that several varieties of "ainted roosels" have already figured in the preliminaries. All Roosevelt members of the Republican national convention credential's committee left the committee room in a body after tailing to obtain their demands for a full hearing on all contested cases. A host of the Roosvelt men from the Republican convention credentials committee, acting under what they claimed were direct orders from Colored Roosvelt, occurred an hour after the committee had not to hear contentious cases. Within a few minutes, however, most of them were back in the committee room, apparently convinced they had not yet matured. Great events like the retiring reelection of Madison Haskley can be held in Pittsburgh every year in Pittsburgh just as they are held by colored people in other cities, if we can get some one to do the necessary work and to advertise sufficiently. 8113 RIBE FOR THE COURIER Dignity of Labor and Military Discipline Prevail—Great Aim of the School A SIGHT NEVER FORGOTTEN The series of articles by Arthur M. Evans on the work of the Tuskegee (Ala.) Institute which appeared in the Chicago Record-Herald last spring were highly instructive. To persons who are interested in helping the school in a financial way the success of the institution is indeed gratifying. Industry, as every one knows, is the spirit of Tuskegee, and military discipline is its system of government. From the moment the rising whistle blows at 5 o'clock until the "lights go out" at night every moment of the time is occupied. Work is in the atmosphere; industry is made a habit—the great aim of the school. At Tuskegee refractory students are punished, not by setting them at extra tasks, but by giving them no work to do. The great idea of the institute is to drill into the students the principle that labor is a privilege; hence work is never prescribed as a punishment, for that would be an inconsistency. Enforced idleness proves penalty enough, and after less than a day of lounging, a misfit in a busy community, a drone among the workers, the disobedient student generally goes to the commandant and begs to be put to work like the rest of his comrades. The discipline is admirable. Ever since the opening of the school the students have been on a military system of some sort. The first day the student body assembled thirty years ago it marched to chapel, and it has been doing so ever since. It is a sight never to be forgotten to see 1,700 students march into the great dining hall at noon, said to be the largest dining room in the country, and stand at attention until grace is sung. Then the silence is broken, chairs are pulled out, and conversation starts up with such a roar that the band is kept playing in the balcony to drown the noise. There is nothing boisterous, but 1,700 voices engaged in simultaneous talk make rather a cataract of sound. Visitors rarely fail to comment upon the table manners of the students. At Tuskegee table manners are as much a part of the curriculum as is work in the shops or recitations in the classrooms. The man at the head of the table does the serving, assisted by a student on each side. The students are served, and the rule of the school is that each shall eat everything that is placed upon his plate without passing remarks upon the cooking, if, indeed, such remarks could be made. The food comes fresh from the institute farm, raised by the students, cooked by the students, served by the students and eaten by the students, and the variety of edibles placed on the table serves as another object lesson of the benefits derived from skillful labor on the soil. The student who goes out from Tukkeegue is so accustomed to an excellent table that, if a farmer, he at once prepares to raise all the vegetables in their season, his farm becomes an object lesson for the surrounding community and artificially leads to a higher standard of living. SENT TO BERMUDA Among the changes made by the A. M. E. general conference, just closed at Kansas City, are the following: The Rev. T. A. Smythe, for more than two years pastor of Bethel A. M. E. church in Indianapolis, has been appointed as an assistant to Bishop W. B. Derrick, who has charge of the West Indies, Canada, Nova Scotia, and the Bermuda islands. The Rev. Mr. Smythe has been assigned to the charge of the twelve A. M. E. churches in the Bermuda islands. He was also elected to represent his district on the general missionary board, which meets annually in New York. The Rev. and Mrs. Smythe will sail for the Bermudas July 1. His headquarters will be at Hamilton. The Rev. Mr. Smythe's successor at Bethel church has not been selected. Bishop B. F. Lee will be in charge of the work of this episcopal district. He was also elected one of the general conference secretaries. Attention Agents Do you know advertisements are the life of any newspaper.

ACCOMPLISHED YOUNG WOMAN OF RARE TALENT Notable Career of Western Girl Who Has Won National Reputation As a Vocalist FEATURED RED ROSE BALLAD New York.—One of the most accomplished and highly gifted singers of the race, who has made a national reputation in the art. Is Miss Minnie Brown, the leading soprana soloist at St. Mark's M. E. church, in this city. Miss Brown has a remarkably clear and sweet voice of wonderful range and under perfect control. So wonderful is the sweetness and charm of her voice that she has earned the sobriquet of the human mocking bird. Miss Brown has had a notable musical career. She has toured the country in concert work. For six years she was a member of the Williams & Walker company and for one year MISS MINNIE BROWN. was a member of the "Load of Koal" company, which was the first company put on the road by Bert Williams. During her long career in concert work and on the stage she made a national reputation as one of the most thoroughly accomplished singers of the race. Miss Brown halls from the west and was born in Spokane. Wash. Her parents were ploneers of the west and represented the sturdy, type of western settlers of years ago. At an early age she showed a leaning toward a musical career, and her parents encouraged every effort in that direction. She graduated from the Spokane high school. After graduation she took up the study of voice culture under Mrs. Ethel Child Waltron. Miss Brown attributes a great deal of her success in her musical career to the interest of her teacher. She began her career as a concert singer in her native home. Her tour through British Columbia and adjoining cities was very successful and opened up the way for the larger possibilities which awaited her. On coming east she joined the Williams & Walker company. For six years she remained with the company and won a place among the foremost of the talented aggregation. It was while with Williams & Walker that Miss Brown won her national reputation in featuring the song the "Red Rose," then the most popular ballad of the day, which she sang with decided success. Miss Brown will be remembered all over the country by the large number of patrons of this famous company. Her tour with "Load of Koal" ended her stage career. Since taking up her residence in New York Miss Brown has been a force in the musical life of the city. She is one of the teachers in the Musical School Settlement for colored children in New York. She stands high in the musical circles of the country and in New York is constantly in demand as a singer. Miss Brown is a young woman of remarkable strength of character and is a splendid example to the young women of the race. With all of her culture and charm of personality Miss Brown remains the same modest and unassuming young woman which she was before winning her laurels in the musical world. She is ever ready to assist in any good movement for the advancement of the race. She has a three circle of friends in the religious, social and educational life of the city. NOTICE.

COLORED PEOPLE OF SCRANTON ARE GATHERING FUNDS Assets Toward Erecton of Institutional Church Are Close To Twenty-Two Thousand Scranton, Pa.—With assets of close to $22,000 including land, cash and collegiate subscriptions already on hand, Rev. G. T. Smith, pastor of the Bethel African Methodist church, who is at the head of a movement for the erection of a colored institutional church and industrial home, made a plea for more funds yesterday afternoon at a meeting of the committee of the Scranton Ministerial association named to aid in the project. The meeting was held in Hotel Jermyn, but owing to the inability of the greater number of the members to be present no definite steps toward raising the balance of the building fund were taken. Rev. Mr. Smith hopes, however, that the summer is over the greater part of the $40,000 required to finance the project will be raised and that work will be started on the building. In his report Rev. M. Smith read that on January 28 last at an enthusiastic meeting, the sum of $4,413 was raised and that since that time it has been increased to $7,871.86, of which $1,291 in case in the banks and the balance easily collectible. He reported also, that his congregation expects to raise another $1,000 at a rafy to be held the last Sunday in June. With a few more cheerful contributions, the pastor says that he locks forward to being able to start work on the building, after which he hopes the necessary money will be readily forthcoming. The members of the committee in charge of the work are: Rev. Griffin W. Eulli, D. D., pastor of the First Presbyterian church, chairman; Rev. Ebenezer Flack, D. D., pastor of the Washburn Street Presbyterian church; Rev. Walter M. Walker, D. D., pastor of Immanuel Baptist church; Rev. Thomas B. Payne, pastor of the John Raymond Memorial church. (Universalist). Rev. George Wood Anderson, D. D., pastor of Elm Park church; E. B. Burkawie, secretary of the Young Men's Christian association; George B. Jermyn and George W. Brown.

MARRIAGE LIGENSES PRESIDENT JAS. A. BRAY WAS REMOVED BY BISHOP Well Known Educator Who Made the Birmingham School Great Seat of Learning Succeeded by C. A. Bell THE ALLEGED CAUSE OF CHANGE Birmingham, Ala. — Bishop C. W. Stewart has removed James A. Bray from the presidency of Miles Memorial college. Bishop Stewart is the treasurer of the institution, and as such President Bray requested that he should account for the money raised for the work of the school. This seemed to displease the bishop and is the cause, so it is alleged, of his removing Dr. Bray from the head of the college. The action took place at a recent meeting of the executive board. Professor Bray is one of the best known educators of the race in this section of the south. C. A. Bell is his successor. and experience, who could continue the influence and constructive policy that has characterized Dr. Bray's administration. It is also charged that Bishop Stewart used the power of his office to remove Dr. Bray, forcing his self-appointed and packed board of trustees to do his bidding. Practically all of the men are presiding elders whom he has appointed to office. To make assurance doubly sure two board members who were to favor Dr. Bray's retention were transferred to other conferences is the midst of the conference year and their positions on the board of trustees declared vacant. M. PROF. JAMES A. BRAY. Miles Memorial college is maintained by the Alabama conferences of the Colored Methodist Episcopal church and has been brought up by Dr. Bray to a commanding position as an educational institution. It is one of the best known of the denominational schools in the south and is supported largely by members of the Colored Methodist Episcopal church. Much indignation is felt and expressed throughout the state and particularly in the Birmingham district over the removal of Dr. Bray. He is highly respected and of much influence in the community. Many people feel that in this particular period of the school's history the effort should have been made to retain at the head of the school a man of known ability 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. 44. 45. 46. 47. 48. 49. 50. 51. 52. 53. 54. 55. 56. 57. 58. 59. 60. 61. 62. 63. 64. 65. 66. 67. 68. 69. 70. 71. 72. 73. 74. 75. 76. 77. 78. 79. 80. 81. 82. 83. 84. 85. 86. 87. 88. 89. 90. 91. 92. 93. 94. 95. 96. 97. 98. 99. 100.

BRAY VED BY BISHOP ator Who Made the chool Great Seat of eded by C. A.

It is also charged that Bishop Stewart used the power of his office to remove Dr. Bray, forcing his self appointed and packed board of trustees to do his bidding. Practically all of the men are presiding elders whom he has appointed to office. To make assurance doubly sure two board members who were said to favor Dr. Bray's retention were transferred to other conferences to the midst of the conference year and their positions on the board of trustees declared vacant. The commencement marked the close of a most successful year, twenty-five young people finishing from the various departments. The baccalaureate sermon was preached by Dr. J. A. Whitted, pastor of the First Baptist church, Birmingham, and the annual address was delivered by Dr. J. D. Simpson, president of Birmingham college, a local institution maintained by the Methodist Episcopal Church South. In a statement which he has made public Dr. Bray declares that Bishop Stewart took offense because he insisted on an accounting of money used in the erection of the new dormitory now in course of erection, suggesting that, inasmuch as the general education board had given $5,000 of the amount had that a goodly portion of it had been secured from the white and colored business men of the community, it would be well to make a report that would show the disposition of the funds. This position, Dr. Bray declares, was made rather emphatic by reason of a statement from Dr. Buttrick that further donations to this and other institutions of similar character would be predicated upon the disposition and handling of this particular donation. "I have always tried to recognize my responsibility to the public as head of an institution," says Dr. Bray. "Many people contribute to the institution through my solicitation, and I have always made a faithful report of all money passing through my hands. It was no more than meeting my responsibility squarely to insist that as long as I was president of the institution the treasurer should make faithful reports." The fact that he was a bishop made him none the less responsible as a treasurer." ```markdown ``` have hep'd us so worthily in the past to consider this appeal and give us their support, as the proceeds shall go toward the payment on the $200 indebtedness on the home.

The RING and the MAN WITH SOME INCIDENTAL RELATION TO THE WOMAN BY CYBUS TOWNSEND BRADY ILLUSTRATIONS BY DEARBORN MELVILL CAPTION 1903 BY HENRY MEEK & CO. FRIDAY JUNE 21, 1912 CHAPTER X.Continued. "I offer $10,000,000 for this franchise. If it be granted me, I shall guarantee to operate the road in the interests of the people, and turn over all the profits above six per cent on my investment, to the people themselves. Lest there should be any doubt of my ability to make good," continued the merchant, "I beg to say that I have in my hand a forfeiture check for one-fourth of the amount in question, which is certified to by the City of Gotham National bank." "The gentleman is out of order," remarked the presiding officer as soon as he could recover his equpoise. "We are not auctioning off public franchises to the highest bidder. We are granting this one in the interests of the public to the company which has already served the people so well and has assumed the burden of the great system of which this is the necessary connecting link." "Sir!" cried Gormly, amid a chorus of groans, hisses and cheers, "I protest against—" "Any other interruptions from the speaker," came quickly from the chair, "and any further expressions of approval or disapproval from the spectators, will result in the clearing of the room by the sergeant at arms." "I call," said one of the aldermen, "for a vote on the resolution." "Those in favor of the granting of the franchise will say aye," immediately said the chairman. There was a furious chorus of "Shame! shame!" from a great number of spectators in which the feeble "ayes" were scarcely heard. "Those opposed," went on the voice of the chairman; trembling with excitement, "will signify it by saying no." A thundering shout of "Noes" rang through the hall, the few in opposition making up by their vociferation for their small numbers. "The ayes have it," said the chairman, hammering on the desk with his gavel! "Division! Division!" clamored the opposition. "Those in favor," continued the chairman, disgusted at being compelled to put the administration thus on record, but powerless to prevent it "will stand up." Amid shouts and cries and disorder never before equaled, the members of the administration got to their feet. The whip that had been cracked over their beads had been used to effect. Some of them were mere ignorant tools; others were able to understand what they were doing. They all voted alike. A score of alert reporters from carefully prepared lists were checking off the votes. "The ayes have it; the ordinance is passed," cried the chairman triumphantly, after the noes had been called to their feet and counted. "I mote," said Alderman Hellman, that we do now adjourn. The motion was carried with a rush, and instantly the spectators began a wild scramble from the hall. Among the first to leave was Gormly. The corridor and stairs were packed with people who had been unable to gain admittance to the chamber, but had learned what was toward. When Gormly's well-known figure was seen in the doorway, a great shout of acclaim rose from the multitude. Gormly-had not intended to speak; but the opportunity was too good to be lost. As he descended the steps, the cheering changed into a demand for a speech from him. No hustings had been prepared, but by the curationist stood a big, high-powered automobile. It was filled with people. Livingstone Haldane sat in the chauffer's seat. The blace beside him was vacant. "Up here, Mr. Gormly!" he cried, putting. Without observing who was in the tomean, Gormly clambered up to the seat and stood on it. He was O. M. H. "Mr. Chairman, I Offer Ten Million Dollars for This Franchise." thus lifted sufficiently high above the crowd. "Fellow citizens," he begas as the cheering subsided and the multitude gave him opportunity to speak, "you know that in order to complete the ring of oppression which holds the city in its iron grasp under the name of the Gotham Freight Traction company, it was necessary that the old franchise of the New York Street Car company expiring today should become the property of that company. Through the franchises they already enjoy, they have created an institution that will enable them to continue their predatory practices—" "Talk English!" he shouted a voice from the crowd. "Thank you, my friend," answered Gormly. "Which will enable them to steal from you your money, your earnings, your investments, your profits, your capital, whatever you have for the next one hundred years. They have sold bonds to pay for the building of the road; not one cent of their own money has gone into it. They have issued stock to themselves to double or quadruple the value of the investment, and they are determined to make you pay interest, large interest, on that stock as well as on the bonds. But, in order that they can carry out this nefarious and thieving proposition, they must secure this franchise which expired today, otherwise their traction lines will be incomplete, will end in the air, there will be no connection between its ends; for the territory covered by this franchise is so situated that if the lines are to be connected it must be through this territory. Consequently this franchise is the most valuable of the few remaining properties of the people. You own it; it belongs to you. It's your last chance to get your rights. If you hold it, they are at your mercy. "Mr. Chairman, I Offer Ten M "This franchise, the possession of which means so much to you, is about to be given away. The council has overwhelmingly passed an ordinance granting it, without restrictions, to the Gotham Freight Traction company for the space of one hundred years. Will you sanction that?" The square was now beething with excitement. Gormly's clear, powerful voice carried to the extremes of the crowd. His plain, practical presentation was simple enough for all to understand. He paused at this juncture and surveyed the crowd. A voice suddenly cried a shrill negative, and instantly the word was caught up and a great thundering chorus of "No, no! Never;" rolled through the park with ever increasing volume and vehemence. If Gormly had looked back, he could have seen the windows of the city hall crowd with aldermen, white faced and anxious, listening to that tremendous and even furious negative. "Let's get the aldermen out here!" cried a voice in a pause in the commotion, "and show 'em what we think!" There was an instant response to the suggestion. The people made a wild surge toward the entrance of the city hall. The multitude could easily have degenerated into a mob. But Gormly checked it. His control was admirable. "No, gentlemen," he cried, "no men and citizens of New York. We must do things lawfully. [The grant has not been signed by the mayor. Believe me, they will not be insensitive to this protest. Let it be repeated in every local organization; let every member of the board of aldermen be warned by his constituents not to press this bill, to reconsider his action at once. "Gentlemen—" he held up a piece of paper. One of the tall lights in the square illuminated his face and figure. His every action was distinctly visible to the multitude—I have here in my hand a check, certified by the City of Gotham National bank, for two and one-half millions of dollars. Before this ordinance was passed this evening, not ten minutes ago, I offered this sum of money as a forfeiture, binding me to pay ten millions for the franchise in question. I offered to subscribe to an agreement which would limit my own returns to six per cent, upon my investment; and promised that the people should have every cent of profit over and above that legitimate amount. The offer was refused; that check was declined, but it still holds good. I make the offer not merely to the cringing, subservient, whipped-in-line aldermen, but to you, the people." "Whatever you going to get out of it?" asked a voice. "I am going to be elected mayor of New York by you men," answered Gormly. "I am going to get the consciousness that I have an opportunity to give New York a clean, decent, law abiding administration, without graft. I am going to put the people in the enjoyment of their rights. I made my money here. Every dollar of it you gave to me. I am giving it back to you. We worked together to make it; I by selling you good goods and telling the truth about it, and you by paying a fair price for it and coming back if you were not satisfied." We will work together in the same way now. If you give me the opportunity to administer the affairs of the city, I pledge my business honor, at which no man can point a finger, that I do will it honorably and honorably to the satisfaction of honest and honorable men, or you can throw me over. "Now! remember," the speaker continued as wild cheers greeted this announcement, "that clamor and glamor don't win elections; that shouting and cheering are all very well in their way, but it is votes that count. You must see that your votes are deposited, and then you must see that they are fairly counted. I beg that you will disperse now, go home, and make it your business to see your aldermen about this franchise. Do it quickly and do it hard." "We'll see them now!" yelled one voice after another in quick succession. "Let 'em come out here!" Million Dollars for This Franchise." "We'd like to talk to 'em!" "Give us a chance at them!'& "Where's the mayor?" The square was in a tumult again, which even Gormly for the moment was helpless to control. Now Hon. Peter D. Warren was in the city hall. He had heard all that had been said, and witnessed all that had been done. Although he was a briber and a corruptionist, he was not without courage. It seemed to him that the psychological moment for his advent had arrived. Therefore, he hastily made his way through the oldmen, and boldly appeared on the outside steps back of Gormly. He was recognized at once. The amayor stood quietly, a little pale, but apparently undaunted. He waved his hands for silence. Gormly assisted him in quelling the tumult. The mayor stepped to the extreme edge of the portico; but before he could begin his speech, the same bury voiced man who had been such a useful adjunct to Gormly interrupted him. "We don't want to hear any speech from you tonight. Mr. Gormly," he roared, his great voice compelling attention, and as he spoke he sprang up on the steps of the automobiles and faced the crowd, "we want you to ask the mayor of this city if he's going to sign the bill granting the franchise. But before you do that we want you to tell him what we citizens of New York think of the proposition." Through the crowd at this moment came charging a platoon of police, at the head of which was the chief himself. The men handling their sticks shouldered their way roughly through the people grooming, raging, swearing, about them. Connell laid his hand on the speaker and sought to drag him from the automobile. The man struck buck violently; clubs flashed in the air. The multitude in another instant would have been a mob. Gormly it was who came again to the rescue. "These," he promptly interposed, raising his voice, "are peaceable citizens discussing a great public question. I appeal to you as mayor of this city to call off the police. Take your hand off that man's collar, Connell," he shouted, "or by the living God I'll turn this mob upon you and there won't be a rag left of you and your bluecoats!" He stepped down to the body of the car as he spoke; and before the chief realized he was about he seized him by the collar and threw him backward. It was a magnificent exhibition of strength and nerve and courage. "Call them off," he shouted to the mayor, "or I won't be answerable for the consequences!" As soon as he stopped, the roar of the mob began. Some were there who thought they had never heard a sound so terrible and so menacing. The mayor, not without good sense, came to the rescue. "So long," he said in his powerful, finely modulated voice, "as these people do nothing, they shall not be interfered with. March your officers up here to the steps of the city hall, chief!" he cried. There was nothing for Connell but obedience. Shaking his baton fiercely at Gormly, he gave an order to his men, and, followed by the curses and groans of the multitude, they marched up the steps of the city hall and grouped themselves about the mayor. "I want to tell you," cried Gormly, mounting to the seat again and now thoroughly aroused, his voice ringing like a trumpet, "that you have no need of police protection in the presence of the people of New York." "Let me speak!" said the mayor. "No!" thundered the crowd. "We don't want to hear you speak!" "Mr. Mayor," said Gormly, "these people want to express an opinion to you. Fellow citizens, those who are in favor of indorsing the action of the council in granting the franchise to the Gotham Freight Traction company will say aye." Every henchman, every follower, every ally, every official present, cried, "Aye!" It made a brave showing until the negative was put, when such a roar of disapproval arose that it was like the breath of the gods and fairly shock the ancient stones of the hall. GREAT LIONS OF STATUARY Sculptor's Masterpieces That Are So Recognized by Artists of the World. The appropriateness of placing figures of lions in front of New York's new library has been questioned. It has been represented by some public-spirited citizens that the king of beasts is out of his element when placed in front of a library. Others have said that lions represent in statuary, heroic military or naval achievements. Whatever may be the final decision it is interesting to locate the great lions of statuary. There are eight lions known the world over—the Lion of St. Marka, the four lions at the base of the Nelson monument in Trefalgar square, London; the Lion of Waterloo, the Lion of Lucerne and the Lion of Chaeronea. Ruskin, in his "Stories of Venice," said that the Lion of St. Marka was the one lion the fierce expression of which no artist had ever been able to reproduce. This beast of bronze has the distinction also of wearing a pair of wings. It surmounts a granite column brought from Syria or Constantinople by Doge Michael, and is as much a part of Venice as the Cathedral in front of which it stands. The famous lions at the bause of the Nelson monument in Trafalgar square are the work of the sculptor Sir Edwin Landseer. The figure of Nelson stands 145 feet above them. These colossal lions, stationed in what has been called the "central square" of the universe, are the awe of the British youth and the pride of every bobby. Sometimes they perform the ignominious function of a coat rack for the cabbies in the neighborhood. The lion of lions, however, is that on Lion Hill at Waterloo, marking the greatest battlefield of all time. There is no monument which means so much nor so closely adheres to fact as this one. That great beast, wonderful in its meaning, is the sole cause for many a journey to the battlefield, always a tedious journey from the Belgian capital. The Lion of Lucerne, the work of Thorwaldsen, was executed in 1821, to the memory of 26 officers and 760 soldiers of the Swiss Guards who fell in defending the Tullieries on August 10.1792. The animal, hewn out of natural sandstone and reclining in a grotto, is represented as dying, transfixed by a broken lance and sheltering the Bourbon lily with its paw. One of the oldest monumental lions is that of Chaeronae. It is a recumbent figure and is a reminder of the Greeks who fell in the battle against Philip of Macedonia (father of Alexander the Great) in 338 B. C. Uncle Sam and His Divorces Uncle Sam and His Divorces. Almost every twelfth marriage in this country ends in a divorce. About two-thirds of the divorces are granted to the wife. Thirty-nine per cent of divorces are due to desertion. The marriage rate in southern states is larger than in the north. America (with the single exception of Japan) leads the world in the number of divorces. The divorce rate is three times as large as it was in 1870. Of the divorce cases that come up only 15 per cent. are contested, and 75 per cent. of the divorce applications are granted. Uncle Sam not only has a high divorce rate, but has the highest marriage rate on earth. his only rivals in the latter line Being Hungary, west Australia and Saxony. Ireland has the lowest marriage rate and Sweden the next lowest. "Mrs. Homely keeps her house in print." "Yes, and she takes care to publish." UNIONTOWN SPARKS AND FLASHES Mt.

Y.—An unjust criticism, Mr. Editor, permit me to explain through the columns of the Courier the reason that Court Douglas, $394, Ancient Order of Foresters, did not take part or turn out to the funeral of Brother W. H. Alkerns. First, me state that Brother Alkerns was sick over a year. He had a disease called "creeping paralysis," which was incurable. Before he was put on the funds of the Court, the brethren looked after him and his wife and after becoming so that he could not work then he began to receive sick benefits and from the time he was unable to do anything up to the time he died, June 3, Court Douglas gave to him the round sum of $450 in sick benefits and provided $100 besides for his funeral, making a total of $550. Brother Alkerns was a charter member of Court Douglas and its first C. R. and he always requested that the should be buried with the Foresteric honors, but he also belonged to another lodge which did not provide any special sick benefits. This society, it is said, paid to Brother Alkerns during his year of sickness about $20 and at his death same and told the C. R. and R. officers of Court Douglas that the Foresters could not have anything to do with his funeral arrangements, and of course the Foresters would not turn out similarly to the walking sticks, hence the rumors that is going around that D. H. C. officers did not do anything for Brother Alkerns and the other society did it all. It looks like, when you put $50 along side of $55) while the Foresters had no part in the funeral of a brother, we will sent an emblem of respect and held a memorial service last Thursday night at the large rooms for Brother Alkerns had held the office of C. R. P. C. R. D. H. C. R. and many other offices in the court and knew Foresters from A to Z. This article is from a Forester who knows what he is talking about and we believe the public should know the foes why our lodge was not even notified of his death. I think as much as the Foresters had done for the brother during his illness that the C. R. Henry Moxley, and the D. H. C. R. Goe H. Thompson, officers of the court, might have had a word sent to them. A FORESTER. At the Michigan Street Baptist Church, Sunday morning, Rev. J. E.

THE COMMON SENSE TUNNEL So far as we represent the Colored element in the Pittsburgh district, we wish it distinctly understood that the Negro voters demand the construction of the Haberman-Shingiss street bridge and tunnel. That project is the only one that is clean and free from graft and improper influences. The Colored people of this great American city, as a usual rule, are struggling against the high cost of living—and to better their condition in life. To do so, government along practical lines, must bring about improvements helpful to the people. The Negroes are raising their families with the expectation of better things for the future. They cannot expect to realize such a condition if the Commissioners (or other public ones) waste the public funds in the interest of politicians or great financial institutions, seeking to speculate in vacant land. The Haberman plan unites great populations of the people and serves humanity, father than "jobbery" in land promotions. Here is a subject matter of the greatest importance and the Colored voter can find no more opportune moment for the assertion of his sovereignty and independence than by indignantly protesting against the construction of a public improvement that would be wholly worthless. We want something that would be of value to the people and all arguments and common sense in addition favor the Haberman project. ?NEGRO DELEGATE REFUSES RRIBE. Once in our history a Negro has demonstrated that the black man is not for sale in the political market. God give us more such men. Just when the political factions at Chicago were claiming the Negro delegates, and giving this or that reason for their claim, an unexpected explosion came when Charles Banks, a Negro delegate from Mississippi, gave out an open letter in which he charged that the Tatt people had given him money with the intention of holding the Mississippi Negro delegates in line by means of a cash consideration. All praise is to be given Banks for his statement. Not because he went to the Roosevelt side, especially, but because he refused to be bought by any man; standing rather for principle than for any presidential candidate. The few hundred dollars amounted to nothing to Banks besides his dignity as an independent gentleman. When he was informed that the money given him, ostensibly for railroad fare for the Negro delegates, was intended to act as a string to tie their hands to the Taft cause, he once informed his fellow delegates and sought to expose the scheme; and he very properly shade known the facts to the Roosevelt side. Too long have we been bought and sold for a farthing. Too long has the white man held us too cheap. Our cause has been sold to the highest bolder too many times, or our political standing today would be considerably higher. Banks is a man of means, and a man of principle and courage. In his own right he can no longer much as $750 or $200 without streaming himself, and the Tafts made a grave error when they attempted to purchase Banks for the petty sum of a few hundred dollars. The number of Negro delegates to this National convention is smaller than ever before, and and Banks sold out this time, there is no telling how few we would have had four years hence. The Negroes of the country have gained more respect by the action of Mr. Banks than they could gain by 1,000 delegates with tags on them. From the action of Mr. Banks, all Negroes may take courage. Not all of us are cowards, and ballot brokers. It matters little who is the next President of the United States, but it matters much whether we shall be looked upon as cowards and money-setters with no regard for our future political welfare. Banks is deserving of a moral for his many standings, being bribed by any one, regardless of his political convictions. If he had done nothing else while in Chicago, he has rendered the task untold service. LOCAL NEWS --- Miss Alma White, who has been visiting in Calif. O., has returned.

After an illness of over four years. Mrs. Lyda A. Lowry, the wife of Rev. W. S. Lowry, a retired minister of the A. M. E. church, departed this life on Saturday, June 6, at 12:20 p.m. in her sixth-fifth year. She was the daughter of John and Diana Robinson, highly and respected citizen of Shelley county, Ohio. She was born on the old homestead, November 7, 1847. She was converted in her two fth year and became a strong Christian character, actively engaged throughout her entire life in Christian work. She was a leader in missionary work in the A. M. E. church and was known throughout the church for her locality and sincere devotion toward human uplift. She was the first colored woman to publish a journal in the cause of missions (Women's Light and Love for Heathen Africa), and had wonderful success in its circulation, both in foreign lands and at home. She was of a phil anthropic nature, and loved to be doing something for others. No women never weaved a more beautiful garment of life or with such fine texture of character threads as she. Her personality was such as always to impress with a pleasure of security and of the beauty in real goodness. Her funeral services were held in Euclid Avenue A. M. E. church Tuesday, June 11 at 2 p.m. Rev D. S. Bentley officializing, assisted by Revs R. B. Hunry, C. J. Powell, T. J. Askow, B. W. Anderson and P. A. Scott. A number of ministers were present from the surrounding towns. The jailbearers were Revs. P. Wheeler, C. J. Powell, A. Smothers, S. Christian, G. W. Webster and W. N. Young. The W. M. M. conference branch members were present in large numbers, also the Naoma Court No. 5 of which she was a highly respected member. The burial rites of the court were performed under the direction of Rev. C. P. Herrington and P. W. G. M. L. Googins. The floral offerings were beautiful as well as liberal. The services were of a most impressive nature, each one seeming to recognize that the race had lost one of its brightest womanly lights. She leaves four sisters, all of extreme age and a beloved husband and a host of friends throughout the country. John Bohman of Mayflower street, East End, died Thursday morning at his residence. He was sick only one hour and died in the full faith of Christ. He is survived by his wife, two daughters, one son, a sister and a host of relatives and friends to mourn his demise. Funeral services were held Saturday night and the body was taken to Ohio. Little James Woods, aged 3 years, died at his mother's residence, 2697 Wylie avenue, Monday morning, June 17 at 1:30. Funeral from the family residence Wednesday at 2 p. m. Madame E. Azalia Hackley will leave Pittsburgh on Tuesday for a rest. She will visit one or two nearby towns, sing in Washington, Pa., on Thursday night and return to Pittsburgh on Friday or Saturday. Her retiring recital is already an assured success. The Bar Sinister. "Some people ought to learn something about heraldry here in Los Angeles," said an old librarian. "There is one commercial house that bears as its arms in its show window and on its stationery the 'lar sinister.' That's an actual fact." Homewood Notes (By Cora Ross.)

She will retire from the Concert Platform to open a Voice Culture Training Institute, and will devote her whole time and energies to the musical uplift of her people throughout the country. Hackley Retiring Recitals will only be given in cities where first class auditoriums can be secured. They are the most expensive entertainments attempted by any artist of the race. They are given without regard to expense or trouble as an object lesson to young musicians of the race. The demonstration in Voice Culture is considered the most original, valuable and enjoyable entertainment before our public.

Madames Hackley's request that all ladies will as a special favor to her remove their hats at the retiring recital, is a just and timely request. We trust that all Pittsburgh ladies will comply, not only as a favor to Madame Hackley, but as a favor to the seat holders behind her. It may be of interest to the ladies of Pittsburgh and surrounding towns to know what Madame Hackley will wear at her Pittsburgh retiring recital at Carnegie Music hall Monday, July 1. The dress is made from a Parisian cream lace robe which the Madame purchased abroad several years ago. It was taken apart, designed and designed and made by Mrs. W. J. Skilborn of Denver, (Col. one of the clearest models of the race as this creation will prove). All the designing and missing was a labor of love as a free of charge from Mrs. Skilborn to Mine. Hackley. This is the first time Madame Hackley has worn the dress excepting to have her photo made in it. At each retiring recital, Madame expects to wear a Parisian robe made by a colored modish. In Chicago her town was park, in Pittsburgh it will be cremation with a dash of cerise, and in Boston it will be god colored lace. This first down is yet to be designed and made.

Tn Preserve Old Photographs One way to preserve old photographs is as follows: Put the photographs into clean, hot water; very soon the pictures loosen and may be easily removed from the cards. When dry, either trim down, to economize space, or carefully cut away the back ground entirely. Mount them in a scrap book or a book made especially for kodak pictures. You will then have a book with which you can spend many happy moments looking over familiar scenes and faces.—National Magazine. Second Bunch for Him. Second Bunch for Him.

When the boy handed in his paper, imagine the teacher's feelings as she read, "O hell! what was we wee?"—Limbourg's Maca- Less Poetic.

Brodman Street Baptist church has a complied great things under the leadership of Rev. O. S. Simms. D. D. L.L. D. The church is composed of some very true and loyal members. Whenever they are called upon to give support to their church they respond readily, therefore great things have been brought to pass. The congregation conferred the honor of LL. D. on Dr. Simms. Members and friends rejoice with our pastor for this great honor for we believe he is worthy of all honors that can be bestowed upon him. Sunday was a great day with us. Between showers we made our way to the church, superintendent of the son was a post of duty at 9 a.m. to welcome teachers and scholars. At the morning services Dr. C. N. Vass, missionary of the Baptist Publication society of Philadelphia, Pa., preached a soul-stirring sermon. At 4 p.m. pastor and members worshiped with the Good Hope Baptist church and at this hour Dr. Simms preached to the congregation in a really day and a handsome sum was collected.

Sunday, June 16, was a day long to be remembered by the residents and all who were so fortunate as to be with us. Prince Hall Lodge No. N, F & A, M. had their annual sermon, delivered to the residents and dispute the inclement weather, Rev. T. W. Anderson of New Castle, delivered a most eloquent sermon to a welfed church and highly appreciative hearers. The fraternity, with one voice pronounced the devout's effort a complete success, gave the sermon to Sir Kirkleen, Oliver Grimes, Brothers Young and Branch with their cannails, and Stuckley also was well represented. J. C. Morton, district deputy and W. Allen of North Side, were also present. Mr. Morton addressed the brotherhood in the church, Mr. C. Morton had the incharge of charges. Free dinner was served in the basement of the church by a competent committee of ladies to whom much credit is due. Good music was rendered by the choir and Prince Hall can rest assured that nothing was missed. It was the comfort of those present. This was the first sermon of the kind to be reached in Leetalsda. PITTSBURGH COURIER The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord—Psalms. 33:5. It was a whole-souled, warm-hearted poet who exclaimed: "The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord." These are the words of one whose soul vibrated with the soft music of earnest joy and overpowering thankfulness. "The world is very evil," we sometimes say; yes, and the Psalmist did not deny that, for often, indeed, do we find in the Psalms glimpses doleful enough of the evils of the world. But here he simply forgot the evils of the world as he lost himself in the contemplation of the goodness of God. In one of Browning's poems we find a similar recognition of God's goodness: All's right with the world! Literally that is not true. All is not right with the world, for as a matter of fact, the world is, for a very evil. But there is none the less a profound truth in the poet's happy optimism. "God's in his heaven—all's right with the world!" He knows that there is evil enough in the world, but he insists, nevertheless, upon seeing that which is good. So the Psalmist, although he, too, must have seen enough of that which is evil, emphasized the goodness of God in the same optimistic strain. "The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord," he insisted. An intense optimist was the Psalmist, for he believed that good has the right way. This is God's word to Santan's. It belongs to God and not to him. In his gratitude he forgot to be dissatisfied. He contemplated the loveliness of nature around him, the stargemed canopy of heaven above him and the peace of God within him. His heart thereupon melted with love and thanksgiving, and his poetic soul sang to the Most High a song of devotion and praise. There is something noble in this emphasizing the good and ignoring the evil. R does not mean that he is ignorant of the evil, for then were he no true optimist, but it does mean that he has such an overpowering sense of the good that he can afford to disregard evil. There is evil enough, but the good is so much greater and mightier that the evil is not worthy to be compared with the good. "For I reckon," said the appointee. Few of the offerings of the present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us." So we may reckon that evil is of no account as compared with good. "The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord." It is true that there are times when we have a right to feel depressed, or rather, times when we cannot help it. Those are times when the soul loses grip upon itself, weared and weakened as it becomes by some struggle or disappointment, when things go wrong, when ambitions fall us, when men deceive us, when the sky is dark above us, when sickness and death afflict us, when we can see neither the way before us, nor God's clear light about us. But if we only know it, the very shadows are full of the goodness of God. He is with us and we are with him and ours. In times of sorrow and affection there is for us a sweeter message than ever the psalist heard—Blessed are they that mourn; for they shall be com- There are those, too, who seldom if ever see the fairest portions of God's earth. They never have a chance to see God's world at its best. They see more of the vileness of man than they see of the goodness of God. About all of nature they see are occasional patches of blue sky between buildings, and beautiful sunsets they may see perchance only over the hideous red roofs of houses, while on the other hand, are the cheerless homes and the crowded streets, the noisy factory and the selfishness of man. This is the lot of thousands, and it is no wonder if the brain becomes dull, the heart faint and the soul torpid. So the world is evil enough in places; but that is not God's fault. It is man and has brought upon himself the noise and the dirt, the fret and the worry. Take the earth as it is and man is ought to be. If he would but conform to God's will, and we would have heaven here and now. But man will not conform here and now in some parts of the earth we have hell instead. Alas, that the righteous must suffer with the guilty! But then, too, the righteous suffer for the guilty, for it is God's will that the righteous shall help to redeem the earth and make more and more evident the goodness of God. The earth already is full of the goodness of the Lord, but we need to make it also full of the goodness of those who love the Lord. God is in his world working to save his children from their sorrow, but his children suffer from them, and bring them sorrow. To this end he sent forth his Son to say, "Come unto me all that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Even now the spirit of the Master is in the world seeking its salvation. Where cross the crowded wars of life, Where sound the crises of race and LOSS OF FERTILITY. The loss in the weight as well as the value of manure as it is handled on the average farm when piled in the barnyard and left until spring or later is shown in an experiment which was made by the Maryland experiment station. Eighty tons of barnyard manure were put in one pile and left or a year. At the end of this time it was found the pile had lost in weight 51 tons or over 69 per cent. Title from the standpoint of fertilizer. Above the noise of selfish strife. We hear thy voice, O Son of Man! In haunts of wretchedness and beed, On shadowed thresholds dark with fears, From paths where hide the lures of greed, We watch the vision of thy tears. Verily, the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord, and this is so because he is present to save us from the earth's badness. Let us, then, work together with God, we who love him truly. Where there is evil, let us help make the world better. Where there is sorrow, let us bring cheer. Where there is darkness, let us bring light. Where there is misery, let us bring love. Where there is sin and shame, let us bring God and forgiveness. So shall they know that the earth is full of the goodness of God, for they shall see that it is full of the goodness of God's people. God's people are God's witnesses. Woe unto them that do not bear witness unto the truth! CHARLES G. GIRELIUS. CARNEGIE IS GENEROUS DONATES $50,000 FOR PUBLIC LIE BRARIES—COLORED PEOPLE TO GET $25,000 BUILDING. New Orleans La New Orleans, LA The following important interesting news appears in the New Orleans Evening Item of the An additional donation of $50,000 to the public libraries system of New Orleans has just been announced as having been made by Andrew Carnegie. Of this amount $25,000 is to be used for an addition to the main building, and $25,000 is to be utilized for the erection of a colored branch. This information was conveyed to Mayor Behrman by a communication from Prof. J. H. Dillard, president of the library board, and was confirmed by Doctor Dillard in person, who, in company with Librarian Henry M. Gill, called on the mayor Monday morning. The letter from Professor Dillard, which he said contained all the information that he could give on the subject, was as follows: "Dear Sir: I have this morning returned from New York, and am glad to inform you that we have a communication from Mr. Bertram assuring us of Mr. Carnegie's promise of $25,000 for the addition to our main building of the public library, and $25,000 for the erection of a colored branch. These amounts will be paid whenever we desire to use the money. "Both of these donations were badly needed by our library board. We shall build a room-in the rear of the main building, thus giving ample space for mourning suitable children, where the stacks now are. With regard to the colored branch, our board fully realized the need of this provision, just as Lostaville and other southern cities have had similar need. "As you know, our library has had a marvelous growth, and I am glad we have prospects for still further development. The increase of the use of the library on the part of children has been particularly gratifying. Their present quarters in the museum are well well that Mr. Carnegie's additional donation will permit us to now give them a most attractive place." COWBOYS OF SPAIN COWBOYS OF SPAIN SPLENDID HORSEMEN, BUT THEY USE THEIR SPURS WITHOUT MERCY. The perfection of Spanish horsemanship is to be seen among the vaqueros, granderos and gorrochas, by which various names the mounted berdasher of the Andalusia plains are known—in brief, what we should call a cowboy. Every farm seems to maintain a number of these, for each herd, flock or drove has its own herdman, goatherd or swineherd, as the case may be. The vaqueros are a fine looking lot of men. Tall, thin, light and loosely made, they look ideal horsemen, as in, point of fact, they are, though their mounts are poor. The vaquero rides very high on a huge saddle, with a long stirrup and straight leg, using a single rein and a very heavy curb, but he has such beautiful hands that, although using this barbarian bit, he never cuts his horse's mouth about.
