THE PITTSBURGH COURIER WORK OF DR. I.G. PENN EMINENT RACE LEADER CIRCULATION BOOKS ARE OPEN TO ADVERTISERS VOL. III. NO. 29. Past Achievements of the Newly Elected Secretary of the Freedman Aid Society NOTED SCHOLAR AND AUTHOR Atlanta, Ga.—The election of Dr. L. Garland Penn of this city to the office of secretary of the Freedman Aid society at the recent session of the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal church seems to have given general satisfaction. Curing for a large number of well known educational institutions throughout the south, the Freedman Aid society is regarded with peculiar affection and gratitude by a large portion of the colored people of America. They all welcome the step that insures the continuance of its usefulness by placing at its head a man who is so DR. I. GARLAND FREEM. [well known by reason of his constructive work in several fields of racial endeavor. The work of the Freedman Aid society needs at this time a man of forceful character and energetic manner such as Dr. Penn is known to be. He is peculiarly known as a man who has been successful at everything he has attempted. He called the attention of the country to the remarkable achievement of the Negro race through the success of the exhibit at the Cotton States exposition, held in Atlanta in 1805, because of the painstaking care and general forethought that directed his every movement as head of the department. It is generally known, too, that through his invitation he gave that eminent educator, Dr. Booker T. Washington, the opportunity at the Cotton States exposition to promulgate his gospel of amity and mutual helpfulness between the races, for which he has since become famous the world over. BEN EDUCATOR AND WELL KNOWN AUTHOR. Dr. Penn came to this position from the public schools of his home town, Lynchburg, Va. As principal of the school in Lynchburg he not only succeeded in his work, but drew considerable attention to himself through the authorship of a distinctively race work. "The Afro-American Press." This book of 000 pages was an authority at the time upon the relation of the Negro press to the abolition of the race. With reference to this book Bishop Vincent said, "The pen is the sword of the African by which he will win place and power." The present volume is a library of valuable history and biography and a picture gallery as well. Dr. Penn has since written "Self Education" and "The United Negro" and is a joint author of "Graded Sunday Schools." He is perhaps more widely known among the young people of the race regardless of denomination than any other churchman among us. Thousands have heard of eminent prelates and other men who have stood in the lightlight. Throughout the country as he has gone on his mission as assistant secretary of the Epworth League he has come in contact with young men and women, has had heart to heart talks with them and has been of great help and inspiration to hundreds. His success in the Epworth League has been reflected in the many fields into which he has been called, in all of which he served with particular distinction in the matter of gosine service. It is quite fair to say that Dr. Penn first emphasized to Negro churches the value of numbers and organization in all departments of church work. Forceful Leader Among Young People. While in the young people's Christian and educational colleges he sought to unite all the churches into one impressive organization that at least would serve to emphasize the readiness of our young people to respond to capable and powerful leadership. The movement has its reflection in the many Supply school and missionary organizations which the different denominations have since taken up of their own accord. It is therefore peculiarly appropriate that he should be continued by the (Continued on Page Eight.) SUBSCRIBE FOR THE COURIER. THE DOWNINGTOWN INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL Trustees Hold Successful Meeting.

NEGROES FRIGHTENED BY NEWLY BORN CHILD Thomasville, Ga.-According to reports received here the negroes around Pelham, over in Mitchell county, are much stirred up over an infant phenomenon which, it is said, spoke when only a few hours old, and among other things predicted the end of the world. Several negroes here have received letters from friends in Pelham telling of this child, which, they affirm, turned and spoke to its mother when it had been born only eight hours. The child, so the story goes, told its mother that it would die in two hours and she would die in four hours and the world would come to an end in six months. Mother and child are both said to have departed this life on schedule time, and now the colored population have no doubt whatever that the remainder of the prophecy. Another portion of the prophecy will be fulfilled. which the child is alleged to have uttered and which showed that it possessed a voice of wisdom that it would rain "off and on" until the end of the world. As the lawyers in this section have undoubtedly been of that character of love and hate to continue so there is no difficulty in reciting the story of the prophecy which is of colorful and as information of the whole matter. So, you want to sell your house for $100,000. It costs $100,000 to buy the house of your own. We want the power but if you want to separate it will cost you $100,000 a word.

MADAME HACKLEY'S RETIRING SONG RECITAL Carnegie Music hall last Monday night was the scene of one of the most remarkable musical entertainments ever given in Pittsburgh by a member of our race and it might well be said that it was one of the best given in Carnegie hall for many a day. The house was well filled by a very appreciative and thoroughly representative audience. Pittsburgh has been much depreciated as a musical center but with such responsive gatherings as assembled Monday evening this cannot any longer be said of our people at least. Mrs. Hackley in her preparations for this event must have had much confidence in us, and it is refreshing to note that we, in a practical way, measured up to her expectations. The entertainment was a most original and unique affair. Much was expected of Mrs. Hackley, but it is very doubtful if these 'were any present who were prepared for the 'treat that awaited them. Mrs. Hackley is a co-ordination singer whose voice is sweet and smooth but surprisingly brilliant and flexible. Her vocal numbers ranged from one of the most execlutive of standard works to the lowly Negro folk songs, those haunting and exotic that are all musicians. For her seated the more execlutive her numbers the more finished was her performance. She is an excellent pianist and accompanies herself without apparent effect, or distraction from her art as a vocalist in one other best numbers. Then Brilliant bird, by David a composition that requires great technique, she played the late origina on the piano with execlutive vocal effect and gave a spacious fat apposition of this beautiful piece. She has a most graceful appearance upon the piano, to be observed by any public performer or orchestra and her demonstrations and this. She has a warm and very interesting, imminent and helpful touch of these two types of art. As either to assist pianist, or to train Mrs. Hackley would have a success with these complex imminent pieces, she is a remarkable man.

HOME AT NIGHT JAMES WHITCOMB RILEY WHEN chirping crickets fainter cry, And pale stars blossom in the sky, And twilight's gloom has dimmed the bloom And blurred the butterfly: WHEN locust-blossoms fleck the walk, And up the tiger-lily stalk The glow-worm crawls and clings and falls And glimmers down the garden-walls: WHEN buzzing things, with double wings Of crisp and raspish flutterings, Go whizzing by so very nigh One thinks of sangs and stings: O then, within, is stilled the din Of crib she rocks the baby in, And heart and gate and latch's weight Are lifted—and the lips of Kate. PITTSBURG PA., JULY 5, 1912. MOUNT BETHEL BAPTIST TO MEET IN WASHINGTON Cosmopolitan Church Was Selected For the Annual Session on August 20th The thirty-sixth annual meeting of the Mount Bethel Baptist association will meet in Washington on Tuesday, Aug. 20. The sessions will be held in the spacious auditorium of the Cosmopolitan Baptist church, of which the Rev. Simon P. W. Drew is the founder and pastor. The churches within the jurisdiction of the association have greatly increased in membership during the fiscal year. The attendance of delegates and visitors will therefore be larger than that of previous years. The committee of arrangements has the matter of entertainment well under way and will be prepared to accommodate the throngs which will be in attendance. The annual sermon will be preached by the Rev. Dr. Winn of Baltimore. At the evening session of the first day the feature will be the doctrinal sermon, which will be delivered by the Rev. Dr. J. Watkins, also of Baltimore. Some of the noted musicians and vocalists of the city will be heard at the various sessions of the association. The large territory covered by the Bethel association makes it possible for it to do its full quota of missionary and educational work. While the nomination should not neglect its missionaries on the foreign field, attention is called to the fact that there is a pressing need just now for an increase of funds for home mission and educational work. FRANKLIN'S SUCCESS AT HERRON INSTITUTE The work of young Arthur J. Franklin, student in the Herron Art institute, in Indianapolis, Ind., has attracted much attention in the educational circles of the city. Mr. Franklin is naturally fond of drawing and painting and shows unusual ability in the use of the brush. In the arrangement of colors and the selection of subjects he manifests rare skill and delicate taste. He has only been a student at the Herron Art school for about nine months. His crayon and oil sketches, however, bear the mark of a finished painter. Being directed by experienced teachers who are deeply interested in his promising career, young Franklin has devoted the greater part of his time to portrait painting in oil from life since he commenced his studies at the institute. While the various professions seem to be crowded with workers, Mr. Franklin believes in the survival of the fittest and that there is plenty of room on top. He is young self reliant and persistent. With these essentials to success, coupled with his love for his chosen calling, he has made up his mind to make the best of his opportunities. The readers of the Courier are earnestly urged to read the advertisements in our paper. When visiting the pages of business, kindly mention the Courier.

NOT'RACE WAR, SAY CUBAN INSURGENTS NOT'RACE WAR, SAY CUBAN INSURGENTS Emphatically denying that the present struggle in Cuba is a race war, and declaring that he has a number of whites in his ranks and that his followers would rather be governed by strangers than by Cuban methods, us in the past, Gen.

The message was brought from the rebel headquarters to the American consulate at Santiago by George Collier, the American ranch owner who was reported captured. The government made public at the state department is declared to be the first one of its kind issued from the rebel headquarters. It reads, in part as follows: "The negro under the present conditions in this country has no chance and the object of the warfare which we are now carrying on is to secure for him the civil rights to which he in connection with other Cubans, is entitled under the constitution of the republic of Cuba, and for which he fought during so many years.

Although the Cuban government is our purpose. We are not making war against whites and we hope that they will not take sides in this conflict.

Houston, Member of School Board-Able Lawyer and Business Man HAS SERVED IN MANY FIELDS Washington.—William L. Houston, a prominent attorney at law in this city has been named as a member of the board of education to succeed Dr. W. V. Tunnell, professor of history in Howard university. Mr. Houston has signified his acceptance of the trust and announces that he will give to the public school system of the District the best service he is capable of rendering. The appointment gives great satisfaction to all classes in this community. As he is in harmony with the present officials, the advent of Mr. Houston on the board is regarded as the beginning of the end of the factorial divisions that have long given uneasiness to those who have had the best interest of the 15,000 colored children in the public schools at heart. The term for which Mr. Houston has been appointed is three years. The board is made up of nine members of whom three are colored. They are Lawyer R. R. Horner, Mps. Carrie Wilder Harris and the subject of this sketch. Mr. Houston is an active force in the professional and social life of the nation's capital. He is a young man of fine intellectual attainments and sterling character and is an orator of pronounced ability. He is perhaps best known throughout the country for his brilliant administration as grand master of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows. He served two WILLIAM L. HOUSTON, ESQ. terms, during which time the order is said to have reached the high water mark of its existence. The membership was increased to over 500,000 during this period, and large gains were made in property holdings. At the fifteenth B. M. C. held in Baltimore in 1800, he was made an associate justice of the newly created supreme court of the order for the eight year term. His friends are now insisting that he stand as a candidate for the office of grand secretary at the seventh B. M. C., which meets in Atlanta, Ga. next September. Mr. Houston came to Washington after a season as a school teacher in Evansville, Ind., to accept aorship in the war department and used the position with credit and distinction for several years. In the month he had graduated from the law department of Howard university. Anxious to gain experience in the legal profession, he resigned from the government service to enter a partnership with Counsel Edward M. Morris in Chicago and quickly earned for himself an enviable place at the Illinois bar, carrying all the white arduous duties of grand master of the order. Returning to Washington for permanent residence, Mr. Houston has in a comparatively brief period been up a creative practice and is ranked with the ablest members of the bar of the District of Columbia regardless of race or color. In addition to his active laborers in the Order of Odd Fellows, Mr. Houston is a master Mason and is identified with numerous other fraternal and order organizations. He is a member of the A. M. E. chrish. His wife, formerly Mrs. Mary Hamilton of Wilberforce. O. is also a potent factor in the social and religious activities of the city. The family circle is completed by Master Charles Houston, an unusually height lad, who graduated with honors from the M street high school, winning a scholarship at Amberst, where he is now making a proud record. Entering upon his duties with the heartiest approval of his admiring fellow citizens and imbued with the highest ideals with reference to the education of his race, the people of the District of Columbia may expect at the hands of Mr. Houston a service that will be painstaking, conscientious and productive of golden results to all concerned.

The R and the M WITH RELAT By C 24 SYNOPSIS. CHAPTER X. Continued. "Now, sir," said Gormly, "you see what our masters the people think. They wish me to put to you a question. If such a measure comes before you, will you veto it or will you not?" The mayor was in a dilemma, a fearful one. He was quick enough to see that his whole political future, the future of his party, practically depended upon his action. If he did not declare his purpose to veto the bill, he and his party were doomed. If he took some other course, they would still have a fighting chance. The mayor rose to the occasion. "Gentlemen," he said, "my action shall be dictated by yourselves." "Answer! Answer! No speech!" reared the crowd. "Every man is entitled to his chance," said Gormly, "and I beg you to bear." "I will pledge you my word," continued the mayor, "that so far as I have power the issuance of this franchise shall be determined by the election. If I am so fortunate as to receive a majority, I shall take it as a sign that you indorse the policy which, with an eye single to the public interest, believes that it demands the granting of this franchise to the Gotham Freight Traction company, which has already served you so well. If on the contrary, my distinguished opponent shall prevail, the matter will be left for his determination." "You won't sign, the bill if it comes to you then," asked some one in the crowd. "I will not, and I will use what influence I have to see that it is not presented to me," was the answer. "Nothing," said Gormly, "could be fairer than that. The issue is clearly and sharply drawn. If you want to perpetuate the power of the Gotham Freight Traction company, you have only to re-elect the present mayor. If you want to resume your own control of affairs, you have only to elect me. I don't ask you now which it shall be. I don't want any more cheering. I want you to go to your homes and go to work. Good night." He sank down in the automobile, covered with perspiration and trembling with nervous excitement. Amid tumultuous cheering and applauding, the crowd opened a line through which the big automobile slowly moved over toward Broadway and then sped upward through the night. Connell turned to the mayor. "Shall I drive these dogs out of the square? Curse 'em!" he cried. Nothing would have suited the mayor better; but policy would not permit. Indeed they were already beginning to break away. "Well, you've gone and done it now, for sure," said Connell, the necessary orders. "Unless you get elected, the Gotham Freight Traction company's busted." "We're all busted, as you say," said Warren gloomily, "unless I am elected." The mayor turned away and walked into the city hall. Rutherford met him at the door. "I want to congratulate you," he said, "on your course." "Do you approve of it?" "Approve." It was the nerviest sort of a thing for you to do, but the only thing. That damned Gormly had you dead to rights; but you took the wind out of his sails." "I don't know," answered the mayor, C. H. H. "You See What Our Masters the People Think!" nervously. "What will Lifey and Benson and the rest say?" "I don't know," returned Rutherford; "but whatever they say, it was the only thing on God's earth to do, and they ought to be glad that you had the nerve to do it. Now, we've got to win the election." "Tee," said the mayor; "but how?" Outside the city hall a slender, quiet, but shrewd looking man edged his way carefully through the rapidly disperasing crowd until he caught sight of Connell standing on the steps scowling at the multitude, black rage in his heart. "Well," said the chief, as the man came close to him, "any news?" "I have a clue," was the answer. "Come in here!" said the chief, laying his hand on the other man's shoulder, and in his excitement and eagerness almost jerking him into the city hall. CHAPTER XI. Miss Haldane Listens to a Declaration. "For some distance the automobile sped onward. Before one of the big wholesale buildings on lower Broadway, now entirely dark, it suddenly stopped in obedience to a signal from the tonneau. A hand was laid on Gormly's shoulder, and a voice he knew and to which he thrilled spoke to him. "Mr. Gormly," said Miss Haldane, "that was the most magnificent, splendid, dramatic scene I ever witnessed or participated in." Gormly rose to his feet instantly and faced about. "You were there, Miss Haldane!" he exclaimed. "You See What Our Master "Didn't you see me?" asked the girl, a note of disappointment in her voice. "And didn't you see me?" put in Miss Stewart opportunely. "Well, girls," said Livingstone Haldane, "how long are you going to keep up stopping here?" "I was about to suggest," said Miss Stewart, "that Mr. Gormly and I change places. I don't want to talk to you particularly; but I know that Eleanor wants to speak to Mr. Gormly, and..." The words were not out of her mouth before Gormly had leaped to the street and opened the door. He assisted Miss Stewart to the place he had vacated, and took her place in the big room tonneau. As soon as the exchange had been effected, Haldane started up the street again. "I am sure now that I was aware of your presence, Miss Haldane," said Gormly quietly. "And because of that I know that I never spoke better." "It was a great occasion," was the reply, "and great occasions make great speeches." "That and the consciousness—unconscious, if you will, if I may use such a contradiction—that you were listening—dare I not say sympathetically?—carried me through." "It was glorious. You played upon those people as I might play upon—" "Me," said Gormly softly. "Ipon an instrument of music," continued the girl. "I think your election is sure." "I think so too," was the answer; "but I am not indulging in any overconfidence, and there is to be no weakening of effort until the last minute." They had by this time reached Fourteenth street. Although it was long after the calming time for the issuance of the latest editions of the newspapers, newsboys were already crying accounts of the episode on the streets. and papers were being bought eagerly on every hand. "Mr. Gormly," she turned suddenly full upon him, "why have you said to my brother that I must not come to the store any more to consult you on business matters?" "My dear Miss Haldane," said Gormly. "I did that for your sake." "But why?" "I have ascertained that I am being shadowed by practically all the detectives of the city hall force; that I am watched constantly; that all my visitors are noted; and I did not wish to involve you in any notoriety whatsoever. Therefore, although I had no knowledge that you would come or that you wanted to come, I thought it proper to advise you through your brother not to do so." "Of course I wanted to come," said the young woman, earnestly. "I have read every scrap pertaining to the campaign. I have done what I could among such friends as I was able to influence to get them to aid you. It was through me that Livingstone proffered his services. I even tried my father, but I have been unable to make any impression upon him; and I wanted to hear from you directly how things were going." "I realize all that you have done, and you can't imagine, Miss Haldane, how great a deprivation it was to me to send such a message, and how hard a course it was to decide upon." "I made Livingstone bring us both down here tonight. But I never dreamed that I was going to be the spectator of such a scene as that which has just happened. I don't believe there was ever anything more dramatic or splendid in the history of American politics. Why, it was like a new Declaration of Independence! When that multitude surged back and forth, crying, yelling, threatening, and muttering, I followed every emotion in my own heart. I never was so thrilled in my life. I am glad to have lived through this, to have seen it, to have been a small part of it." "You can't imagine," said Gormly, "how great a part of it you have been. I will not say that I am doing it all for you now; that would not be true or fair. But you were my inspiration in the beginning, your words, your presence. Miss Haldane, I have something to say to you. "First of all," he began, "where are you taking me?" ters the People Think!* "Anywhere you want to go. You said you had no engagement, you know." Miss Haldane leaned forward and touched her brother. He stopped the car again and turned about. "Mr. Gormly wants to know where we are going." "I thought we'd swear over past the park and go out Riverside Drive. We can get a decent bite to eat in some quiet place along the river road, and a spin will do us all good. Is that agreeable to you?" "I am in your hands," answered Gormly gratefully. "And indeed I think I should like it very much. I had no idea how tired I was and you don't know how few opportunities I get like this for an hour's quiet enjoyment." "Leave it to me," said young Haldane. "I turn you up at your apartment in proper time and in good shape. Tonight you are going to enjoy yourself and drop the campaign for a little while." Gormly sank back in the luxurious seat as the machine started once more, with an expression of great relief. He had said he was tired. No wonder! The strain of three or four months' campaigning had been enough to test his nerve and vitality to the very limit. He had enjoyed no opportunity for relaxation. The pace had been too swift, the going too hard, for that. He had not dared to let up for a single moment. He would not have dared it then, but being caught up, abducted as it were, he gave himself up unreservedly to the joy of the moment. To find himself flying through the city by the side of the woman he loved, so near that he could reach his hand out and touch her, if he possessed the right, was happiness enough. There was only one cloud on his horizon, and that lay in some information confirmation of a suspicion he PITTSBURGH COURIER had entertained ever since Christmas eve, which had come to him that afternoon. It was now about to be settled beyond doubt that the controlling spirit of the Gotham Freight Traction company, against which he was making his great battle, whose downfall was after all the object of his campaign, not for any other reason, however, than that it stood for all that was bad in municipal administration, was her father. Whether or not Gormly would have engaged in the battle if he had had foreknowledge of this alliance between the father of the woman he loved and the powers he was trying to overthrow, is a question. As to his present attitude, he had begun his campaign with mingled feelings. It had been at first in a certain sense and for a short time a campaign for the winning of Eleanor Haldane; but larger issues had speedily relegated that as a motive into the background, and now the campaign made every possible appeal to his honor as a man, to his sense of duty as a citizen. And while Eleanor Haldane bulked large before him, he knew that no matter what might be the result of the campaign so far as she was concerned, he must of absolute necessity press on to the end of it. He wanted to win for her; but if it became necessary, he would win without her, and for the people's sake. It would make his election probably certain to reveal to the public the vast corruptive influences behind the traction company and the Sachem society. His agents had been thorough in their work, and they had discovered what nobody suspected; that the syndicate of which Haldane was the head practically controlled all the public utilities and afforded all the financial backing for the Sachem society and its immense corruption fund. Gormly had meant to carry on his campaign to the end, and then tell her that he loved her and ask her to be his wife. He saw it that with all the complications before him this would be an entirely fruitless proceeding. Indeed, if under more favorable circumstances he could have won her affections, it was probable that now such an endeavor would be unavailing. He had been wondering since the knowledge had come to him how he could get speech with her without too great publicity, and behold fortune had given him the chance. At whatever hazards he intended to avail himself of it. "Miss Haldane," he began, after they had been running along for some time in silence, "I said that I had something to say to you. I don't suppose either the time or the circumstances are propitious, but necessity compels me to say it now." "I shall be very glad indeed to listen to anything that you have to say to me," was the answer. "Thank you. I meant—it was my purpose. I intended—when I had won the first step to ask you if you would not help me with the rest of the battle." "Help you, Mr. Gormly?" "Yes, Miss Haldane, I purposed to ask you to be my wife." "Your wife!" exclaimed the girl. "It surprises you doubtless. Possibly it dismays you." "It surprises me, certainly." "And yet you must have known, you must have seen—you are woman enough for that—that I cared a great deal for your opinion." "I will not deny it, Mr. Gormly," returned the girl. "Things you have said, not so much that perhaps as the way you have said them, have led me to think so. But I really never imagined—You see there is so much difference—" "I know that I am almost old enough to be your father," returned the man gravely. "I am no boy. Therefore, I am the more sure and convinced of what I say, and you can be the more sure also that I love you." "It is a great honor that you pay me," began the woman. "Walt!" said the man. "I am not through. I did not intend to tell you tonight. As I say, I was going to wait until I had something worth while to offer; but things that I have learned have made it necessary in my judgment to inform you of this fact at once." "What things, Mr. Gormly? Is some one making charges against you or discovering things about you?" "Not one. It is not of myself I am thinking." "Of whom! Of what then?" "As I said before" returned the man. "I can say no more. It seems to me that now my honor demands that I put you in possession of the state of my feelings. I am not asking you if you care anything for me. I realize that you could not. It is easy for me to have fallen in love with you, indeed I don't see how I could have helped it; but the case with you is different. And I want you to know, whatever happens in these closing days of the campaign, that I do truly and devotedly love you. Great God! Miss Haldane. I haven't used these words to a soul since I was a boy. You can't know what they mean to me, what I would like to have them mean to you. Some day, it may be soon, I shall ask you to be my wife; but now all that I want to impress upon you is that whatever happens to me or anyone, I am pledged to you in my heart forever. Nothing can make any difference in my feelings. You understand that!" "I understand entirely." she said. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Yachting In Olden Times Yachting was little indulged in until about a hundred years ago. Owing to the presence in British waters of the pirate cutters, sailing small vessels out of sight of land was attended with considerable risk and most of the earlier yachts carried brass cannon. The yachts built in England at the beginning of the last century were either on the lines of revenue cutters or smugglers. The best of them were built by Charles White, who would, it is said, often lay down a couple of clippers together, one for the government and the either as a smuggler. He would thus be able to obtain a premium from the government for making the revenue cutter the faster vessel of the two. When you are offered something for nothing, look for the invisible string.

The address of "Morality" by Miss Lottie Lomax, Brownsville, Pa., was one of the best that had been heard here for a long time. She said in part, Christianity and Morality were inseparable and spoke praiseworthy of mn and women, young and old, who were living pure, virtuous, moral and Christian lives. With great eloquence and emphasis denounced the living immaculate, immortal, and hypocritical lives. Miss Lomax bitterly denounced false modesty in all forms and said that the hope of our race and success of the missionaries depended upon pure men and women as leaders. Collection $37.25. A. M. E.

Ridiculous was the duel General Israel Putnam arranged when challenged by an English officer. The general was to provide weapons. Arrived at the spot selected, the Englishman found "Old Put" serenely smoking by the side of an open powder keg, into which he had stuck a match. Requesting his antagonist to be seated on the other side of the keg, General Putnam lighted the match and smoked on unconcernedly. The Englishman for a moment watched the lucifer working its way downward, then beat a hurried retreat. The keg contained nothing but onions with a sprinkle of powder on top. Books. Ruthlessly. Destroyed. Books Humbly Destroyed. The Puritans destroyed many collections of books in the monasteries, and even Cromwell burned the Oxford library, then one of the finest in Europe. Extremists in revolution, in religion, have been equally destructive as regards books. The Spanish inquisition and the French revolution were as one in this respect. The crusaders were destroyers of what they regarded as heretical books, and in Russia today the war of orthodoxy on sectarian dissent still manifests itself, among other things, in the ruthless destruction of the books of the non-conformists. M. Durand de Bellefort de Gourny, who a few months ago startled the simple folk of Coutances by appearing in a brilliant uniform covered with decorations and managed to swindle the local tradespeople of hundreds of pounds, cut a sorry figure when he appeared for trial at the assize court today. His only defence is that he swindled because he wished to create an impression in a woman with whom he was in love. The judge replied: "Don't talk to me of making an impression on the fair sex. You are far to ugly" and then sentenced him to six years imprisonment—Paris correspondence London Daily Mail Ne Lady Killer. THREE MRS. E.

Then follow Protorohippus and Orohippus of the middle Eocene, Ephippus of the upper Eocene, Mesohippus of the Oligocene, Anchitherium of the lower Miocene, Parahippus, Protohippus and Pliophippus of the middle and upper Miocene, and finally Equus of the Pilocene and the Quaternary, from which the modern horse directly descends.

That Madam Hackley is a finished singer has been conceded for many years; but as an entertainer, we must confess that she surpassed the expectations of the most sanguine. Perhaps our soprano has never appeared to better advantage than she did last Monday evening at Carnegie Music Hall, where she rendered one of the most salisfactory programs listened to in Pittsburgh for many years. Those of us who heard her before she studied in France can see at a glance that she has improved wonderfully over what seemed to be a perfect knowledge of the art. Madam Hackley has been a student in the fullest sense. She has equipped herself thoroughly for her chosen work. Without reservation she has thrown her whole life into all that is musical. Nor has she been selfish. Of whatever knowledge she has acquired at the expense of much sacrifice and study she is now giving freely to the members of her race, who may have ambitions to follow the high standards she has set. The old as well as the young were willing pupils last Monday evening while Madam Hackley imparted precious gems of information for which she paid the Masters exorbitant prices. And Pittsburgh is to be congratulated for the sense of appreciation shown our leading artist. The Hall was filled with an audience such as seldom guests any public character; and there was not a moment when enthusiasm was not at its height, unrested and fully. Madam Hackley will retire with the best wishes of her many admirers and supporters of Pittsburgh, who will welcome her return at her earliest convenience. SOLD DEAD BODY. We have it from good authority that a white undertaker of this city actually sold the dead body of a Negro whom he had kept at his place of business since last Winter. It is alleged that the white undertaker took the body from a local hospital but owing to some misunderstanding between him and the relatives of the deceased, the body was not buried. The dispute is said to have grown out of the refusal of the white man to let a colored undertaker bury the body, claiming that he, the white man, had first right to the body as he went to the hospital for it. But on examination he could not show who authorized him to take the body from the hospital. The wife, it is said, persisted on having a colored undertaked bury her husband, and asked the white man to give the body to her choice. This the white man refused to do, and has held the body ever since. When he found, that he could not force anyone to pay him to bury the body, it is said that he offered to give the body up to some friends of the deceased upon the payment of $1200, which was raised by popular subscription. The body was buried by a colored undertaker, and the first choice of the wife, too. Do the Negroes get any lesson from this episode? THE PLATEFORMS. Now we have the platforms of two political parties before us and an opportunity is afforded us to compare the merits and demerits of both in our effort properly to judge the attitude of both parties toward us. Of the Republican platform the editorial comment of the Independent is worth consideration. In speaking of the many omissions it remarks: "No party cares to speak for the Negro nowadays. Silence is the best that can be hoped for." The failure of the Republican party to say anything about the Negro has been given several interpretations, but none so short of antigravity as that quoted above. While the statement is a frank one, it is just what we need to hear. Too long we have been listening to political comment prepared for the occasion. The Negro needs no further notice served upon him to enable him to determine his political course in the present campaign. Party county for nothing where principle is wanting. An exertion of political independence is all that is left us. For forty years we have been standing with no degree of uncertainty with and for the Republican party. The question now before us is whether we are justified in having any party affiliations at all. Men and principles should be the criterion for the black man, who is being eliminated as rapidly as possible from all that constitutes true citizenship. Rather have no party than serve the purpose of any man for money or position. Recognition as citizens and not as favor seekers is what we need most, whether we want it or not. Judging from the platform adopted by the Democratic convention, the "structure" is built to get in on, and not to stand on. Rather dangerous for the man who wants something permanent.

COMMENT The warmly concert and lecture given by Mrs. Aze la Hackley at Carnegie Music hall last Monday evening was in every sense eminently fitting that matchless artist and was a valedictory, which will be long and fondly cherished by the music lovers of this community. Mrs. Hackley fairly excited both in her singing and in her betweensung talks. To those of us who heard her when she first sang in Pittsburgh several years ago and who have followed her in her career on both sides of the ocean she was superbly charming. Her talks were spiteful with valuable insight and information, not only for singers, but also for parents, who are planers for their children a musical education. Carnegie Music hall certainly never before held a more distinguished Negro audience than it held Monday night, and indeed, the occasion for such an outpour has never before since its establishment been equaled.

Where is the boy—the real boy—the boy that used to be. The boy that planned to run away and go to sail the sea. The boy that yearned to twist a brake upon the local freight. The boy that thought a circus ring held all of proud estate? And where's the boy—the boy-eat boy that ever lived at all. Who whipped on his fingers in a wild ear-splitting call? Boys nowadays go solemnly at learning this and that. Which he held in the busy brain beneath that— Oh, where's the hat he used to wear?—The "coffee straw" whose peak Rose high, while all the sagging brim slapped him on neck and cheek. Or else it was a "hickory," a shoe string for a band. The dealer strung them on a cord, all ready to his hand. He was a Boy! He knew more things than you and I may learn. He knew where his skirts grow, and which rich and bushy. He knew the birds familiarly, he watched May-apples grow. And had his private fishing place where only he might go. stone-truised right away? He never had his two front teeth. Where is that boy today? Ah, how he whistle. First and little jinger. And then a blast that cut the air like to a hundred whips! And how he looked! His mouth stretched wide, his eyes all strained and set— It's strange that such a boy as that is now no longer me. Beccoliere and he shoved our boys go almostly through life. And never stand red-faced and blow up on their finger-life. DISTANCE MIGHT ENCHANT. "My eyes are no longer like stars to you, I suppose?" she exclaimed during a heated conversation with her presumed lord and master. "Well, suppose you go away about a hundred million miles, and I'll take a look at them and decide," suggested the cruel, unfeeling man." Honesty By Law. Moses was the first lawyer. He tried ten laws on the Israelites. And that didn't make them all good. So along came some one else and fixed up about a hundred laws. That number did not make humanity any better. On the principle, evidently, that in obstinate diseases the dose should be increased, more and more laws were made. At last it became necessary to choose men to do nothing but make laws. Out of this grew the great American game of politics, which the politicians fondly incase in a long-tailed coat and finish off with a top hat and call statesmanhip. Not only do we have one set of men busy making laws for the whole nation to break, but each state has its own set of men grinding out laws for state fracture, and each community has its little bunch of aldermen preparing laws for local disregard. It might be well to go back to the original ten, for a rest. A Blow "Dear, abused Mrs. Glimmett," exclaims the neighbor. "I have just heard the wretched news that your husband has eloped with your cook. What a blow it must be!" "Wet!" weeps Mrs. Glimmett. "She was the best cook I ever had." From Our View "If we could see ourselves as others see us," began Miss Quotem, "we should—" "Very promptly inform them that they were mistaken." interrupted Mr. Flype.

Twisting the top of the bag together he handed it to the woman, who paid him and went away. The canny grocer smiled. He had given the woman seven eggs when she ordered but six. He knew that when she reached home and found that she had seven instead of six eggs she would be so delighted with the supposition that she had overreached him that she would entirely disregard the fact that six of the eggs were storage and one was dubious!

Azaina Hackey in Carnegie Music hall, which was resplendent with floral decorations. A. Spencer, m. W. N. Page of the Courier, presented Madame Hackey to the audience and she immediately began the interesting sonic recital, interpreting her songs with a talk on the mechanics of music. The lecture was a talk on racial character-status, the cultured tone, the cultured pulse, voice culture, vitalizing of tones, and a dissertation dealing on the pure mechanics of vocalism. The program opened with a selection in French. Madame Hackley played her own accompaniment. Then came one in English, "Shooyo Shop," and a third in Italian—a section from Rossini's "Barber of Seville." A condition in English finished the group, closing with "Why Adam Sinnett," by Bert Williams. The people of Pittsburgh filled the hall with an audience that for richness of dress and appreciation of classical music has never been equalled in this city. The second annual reital and dance Friday evening, June 24, in Union Temple theater, by Miss Sasa Battiece Writt, one of Pittsburgh's most talented and popular musicians, was a spindid success in every particular.

To a certain extent Carrie Reynolds had succumbed to the witchery of the moon and—James Dean actor and matinee idol. They, Carrie and the actor, had hung over the ship's side and exchanged serious and unserious glances until, in a moment of unreason the girl had consented to become Mrs. James Dean. The exact date set for the giving up of single blessedness had not been discussed. The girl was desirous of continuing a long contemplated trip over the continent, and the actor was tied down to a long and tedious tour of the provinces. So when the end of the voyage was reached cards were exchanged and the parting took place. "I am giving you my real name and my permanent address, dearest girl of the sea," and the actor with a long look into Carrie's eyes. "We actors are continually on the move, and some of your dear letters might go astray if you attempted to follow my tour." Carrie Reynolds looked down at the unfamiliar name on the card then glanced up at the matinee idol. "I think I like your real name best." she informed him shyly, "Paul Gregory is so much nicer. Also I much prefer writing to a real business address—it seems more solid." So they had parted at Paddington where the train from Fishguard had taken them; the girl to continue her trip with a malden aunt and James Dean to leave for a provincia tour. It was all of a fortnight before Carrie found time to write a letter to her mother sweetheart. She had sent an occasional postal card and realized much to her own dismay that they suffered to carry her thoughts to him. "My interest in Jimmy is waning," she told herself and sat down to comm the state of her feelings. She wrote of the romantic atmosphere SAMUEL Paul's Letter Breathed Only / Friendship and Travel mountate at length with him regarding sphere that is always present on ocean liners, and which is the cause of many sudden infatuations. She regretted that her affection for him had been of that unstable variety, but felt reasonably certain that time would prove to him that propitious had been responsible for the mistake. Carrie ended her letter with an appeal to him to release her from their engagement. When the letter had been posted she was content. It would be at least a week before she could dear from Paul Gregory, as he was no doubt somewhere in the south of England. Much to her own surprise her answer came two days later. Carrie's cheeks crimsoned as she read Paul Gregory's letter. He not only refused to consider the engagement broken, but sent an urgent appeal for a meeting in the near future. The effect of Paul's communication was rather startling to Carrie. She had expected the incident to be closed and instead of that she found herself reading his letter over a third time, and wondering just what had made her heart trip up a beat. She seemed suddenly to care more for Paul flegraphy than she had on the ocean liner. Two Things That Go Together, According to Observations of an Ohio Scribe. "Ain't it?" asked the woman, at which time she murdered the English womanly. But everybody does it. "Ain't it?" is an idiom that has become a member of good society. One says it without a pong or a thought. One bears it in the court, the church, the university, and even, in the editorial column. For the bad grammar is not in itself the worst part about it. The real insanity is found in the psychological effect. It is not the sloven expression, but the sloven way of thinking which comes of it, that is the thing to be learned. An incorrect, slang mode of expression always indicates weak and shallow thinking. To speak correctly, in these days of incessant and empty conversation, requires some thinking. Let a person's mind go wild and he ants his minds of bad grammar. PITTSBURGH COURIER "His letters are more convincing than his presence," she told herself. Carrie spent several days trying to convince herself that she had ceased to love the actor, and that she intended to break her engagement whether he would or not. Her thoughts terminated in the writing of a long, chummy letter that touched but lightly up on love and marriage. After that she waited eagerly the arrival of Paul's next letter. When it came Carrie scarcely admitted even to herself that she was disappointed. Paul's letter breathed only of friendship and travel. There was no hint of the more intimate love they had experienced, nor was there another suggestion regarding the engagement between them. "It looks almost as if the tables had been turned." Carrie sighed when she came to realize that she really loved Paul. "Pe-haps he should have been a writer instead of an actor," she smiled whimsically, "his letters have made me feel things that his presence could not." The summer passed while the correspondence was continued. Carrie had written to the effect that she would be zailing for home in August. "Since you are no doubt touring about," she had written, "I will not see you before sailing, but when you return to New York in November we will surely meet." It was with great regrets that Carrie left England. To her it was not so much England as it was the country where Paul Gregory lived. "I am a little chump," she told herself while she dabbed a handkerchief to her eyes. The boat was pulling out to sea and Carrie was experiencing the horrible sensation of being dragged away from one whom she loved very dearly. "The worst of it is," she tried to smile through her tears, "that Paul does no seem to love me." At dinner in the evening Carrie looked listlessly over the passenger list that lay on the table before her. Because her eyes were more or less unseeing the name Paul Gregory did not meet instant recognition. When it finally dawned on her consciousness that she really was seeing that name in print her cheeks were awpt with a brilliant color. "He is on this boat—he is on this beat!" her heart repeated. But when the dining saloon was without a vacant chair and no familiar maynee idol appeared to greet her Carrie's spirits sank. She realized with her disappointment that for some unknown reason she had been expecting Paul on the homeward trip. Her intuition had been but a myth and had become to her a reality because another man possessed the same name as her Paul. She read her menu card through tears. "Will you please pass the paprika?" asked a most delightful voice at Carrie's side. "It is always customary to begin acquaintance on ship board by asking for salt—I always change it to paprika—Miss Reynolds." Carrie turned to find herself looking into a pair of laughing eyes, and later blushing to the roots of her hair. She was angry at herself for blushing and more so for returning the smile he sent her. "I know your name," he continued calmly, "because I have been corresponding with you for some three months." "You are absurdly mistaken," Carrie managed to tell him. "I am Paul Gregory," the man told her, "and James Dean, actor and matinee idol is my cousin. Jimmy is rather fond of a joke and gave you my card when he parted from you. You have been writing me most——" "You had no right to keep me in ignorance." Carrie's eyes were flashing but in her heart she knew now why letters had counted where words had failed. Paul Gregory's voice was serious. "I had not intended to until I knew that your letters were written only in friendship, and that they would contain nothing sacred to lovers. I also knew that I wanted your letters more than Jimmy could ever want them." "Just how do you happen to be here—on this bout?" she asked. "That is what I call a very foolish question," Gregory answered with a laugh in his voice and seriousness in his eyes. "It does seem foolish—now," Carrie told him. Varied Menu. Here are some items in a day's menu given in an exchange: Stewed rhubarb with shredded wheat biscuits, asparagus curried, tomato loaf with sauce, carrot croquettes, dandelion salad—what does a civilized man want with these messes when he can get boiled cabbage and good old pie? You can no more get these viands into the experience of a man than you can get him to sleep on a fence rail. They are not food, but raving fancies. Nobody thinks of trying them. There are more real good things in the world, like corn dodgers and noodle soup, without resorting to these vagaries. Pass the fried mug, please, and let the dandelion salad go to—Otto State Journal. If one would inquire into every case of incorrect speech that one hears among those who have any "schooling," he will discover it is because the speaker is mumbling along without any pretense of thinking. All of which mean that it is a fine intellectual discipline to speak correctly. We would hardly dare suggest it, but it would be reasonable to keep a boy in at recess or after school whenever in his speech to violate the plain rules of grammar—Ohio State Journal. The Danish Plan. In Denmark, as in other countries, they are troubled with men borgured, men who are "snow-sleivers in summer and haymakers in winter." Denmark takes them firmly but kindly and puts them to bed. In bed it keeps them as long as may be necessary. Four days are, as a rule, sufficient for the most obtrusive cases. At the end of that time the idier is found to be feverish for work. M Hats of straw braid, a greater number of silk braid and many of lace, have been made for little misses. They are trimmed with silk, ribbon and flowers. Daisies are always fashionable for children, and are at pheasant in high favor. Other small blossoms and little bouquets of field flowers, such as children love, appear on the majority of hats for little girls. As in millinery for grown people, more elaboration in trimming is evident than in at least three preceding seasons. The vogue of lace frills was sure to find its way into the realm of children's millinery, hence the hats with side crowns covered by rows of crisp lace frilling and brightened with small sprays of blossoms peeping out from the frills. Lizard Gown Has Become Exceedingly Popular in Paris and Really Hae Much Merit. Just as savage woman seeks to decocate herself in semblance of the birds and the beasts in her use of feathers, skins and war paint, so the Parisian woman of fashion imitates the scales of the fish, the wings of the butterfly and the tail of the lizard in her ballroom fancies. The lizard tail evening gown is the newest fancy, and it bids fair to implant a graceful style in the American drawing-room. The first model to appear in Chicago is a vase colored messaline, with black satin "tail" tunic, and waistband encrusted with black beads. Black encirclal clusters are worn on the circular black silk hair ornament that goes with it. The effect is one of sinuous grace, and it will add height to the short and the overly plump. The style could be carried out even more suggestively in two shades of green, or of brown, or green and bronze. Where the gowns cling, as in the extreme of the season's modes, the effect, the designers say, would be most undignified were the scantiness about the ankles not counterbalanced by a mass of trailing drapery, as there is a semblance of both mass and color in the best gowns—Chicago Inter Ocean. Demlighn Lamps A couple of old wicker-covered demijohns are going to do duty this summer in a seashore bungalow as the bases of lamps. One of them received only a thorough cleaning before being pressed into service, the other was treated to a coat of brown enamel paint. On the light one has been fitted a spreading wicker shade, and on the brown one a Japanese openwork shade lined with yellow flowered chinzt. The latter will stand in the family sitting room, which is done in brown and buff, and the former will illumine the veranda from a wicker table at the window, to which the electric light cord can be extended. Both demijohns, of course, will be weighted so that they cannot topple over easily. Spiral Dress. Deepest reports to the contrary the slender silhouette still finds favor in the eyes of the well-dressed woman. The "spiral" dress is the latest arrival; an alluring phase of it showed a skirt of black satin draped with white crepe de chine. The impression given was that a width of crepe de chine no attempt was made to conceal the selvedge-edged with black fringe was simply wound round the figure. Here and there in unexpected places glimpses of black satin were seen—in the vicinity of the ankles, at the waist line—and then one-half of the corsage was of black satin. A large white picture hat embellished with a superb osprey gave a charming finish to the ensemble. Blooping Hint: A steel crochet hook, which will catch under threads, will be found quite as good as a patent ripper for pulling out baskets in double-quick time. A busy sewer will find this a great help when rushed. Rain and the Weather Babes and the weather. A young mother whose baby rarely is ill, describes this fact to her habit of never taking her child anywhere unless accompanied by a storm blanket of flannel-lined rubberized silk. This she keeps under the mat of the peramulator, where it can be quickly reached in case a sudden shower overtakes them, and in less time than it takes to tell it. has it tucked so snugly about her offspring that not a drop of rain can wet it. The material is the same as that used for rain coats of the finest class, for the blanket was contrived from the remnants of one of those garments and is a nice shade of dark red silk, matching the ribbons attached to each corner and these, when run through rings sewed to the upholstering of the peramulator, keep the storm blanket from slipping out of position.

If you are a married woman, and were asked to tell just what you were worth in hard cash to your highland, what figure would you name? The question is not a fanciful one by any means, but has been a subject of judicial consideration. It was this way; The wife of an Iowa farmer bought a gallon of what purported to be kerosene, but which was afterward shown to be 21 per cent. gasoline. When the woman used some of it to start a fire with the stuff exploded, and she was burnt to death and her three children were seriously injured. The woman's husband sued the dealers for damages, and the jury awarded him $25 for the loss of his wife and $399.71 per child on account of injuries. The defendants evidently thought that a woman was not worth $25, for they took an appeal from the verdict. The learned court, however, declined to look at it in that light, and the judgment was affirmed—New York Mail. Callahan—Oh want to git a book to put the photographs av all me relatives in. Oh think this wan will do. Shopman—But that isn't a family album, sir; that's a scrapbook. Callahan—Oh, that's all right, young man; all av me relatives were scrappers. There are wide plaitings of silk fringed at the edges, used to cover wide crowns also, on hats of the more substantial braids. Narrow frills of plaited silk are fashioned with fluffy rosettes and are used with flowers as a part of the trimming of lingerie or silk braid hats. For midsummer nothing is prettier for little girls than the hat of lace or embroidery made on a wide frame and trimmed with ribbon and flowers, and no style is prettier than the hat with soft puffed crown and drooping frills about the face. It reappears each summer, varying a little in size, but remaining the same in general outlines and as a general thing in choice of colors. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. Any of the Better Quality of Woolen or Silk Materials May Be Used for This. A style such as this would look well in any dressy woolen or silk material; it has a trained skirt, and at back and sides a tunic edged with a band of embroidered net; a piece of this is taken across front; buttons and loops trim part of sides of tunic. The bodice opens in front and has a large sailor collar edged with inner 中 tion; the elbow sleeves are trimmed with insertion and tucks; vest of embroidery, with collar-band of same. Materials required: Three yards 40 inches wide, three and one-half yards insertion, one-half yard embroidery 18 inches wide. Voile and Mull Popular White volle has found lasting favor with women of all ages. It is a material which musses little and does not require constant thought of pressing. It has to a large extent taken the place of less practical fabrics for summer gowns. Mull, too, is as much in evidence as ever and as with volle, can be made into enchanting evening frocks. With the gown cut a little low in the neck, preferably in V shape, one can drape it with a fichu of sheerest net edged with valenciennes lace about two inches wide. The fichu are some what wider on the shoulders than in the back or front—Harper's Bazar. mense wreath pattern. The length of the coat is three-quarters, and it is semi-fitting, finished with a flat satin collar, and patent leather belt. It will appeal more to those who like odd things than to those who seek the beautiful. White Suede Bags It has never before been the 'good fortune of the white summer suit to have handbags made for them in such altogether charming styles as this spring. The newest—and one is tempted to say the best—are of white suede, a substantial velvety quality that ought to stand a long season of use and cleaning. Occasionally Happen.

SELF-RESTRAINT IN THE USE OF AUTHORITY A LACK OF FAIRNESS AND POISE SHOWN BY THE AVERAGE NEGRO ON REACHING A PLACE OF DISTINCTION AND POWER — THE YOUNG NEGRO MAY SCHOOL HIMSELF TO AVOID WRECKING HIS LIFE ON THE HIDDEN ROCKS OF AUSTERITY AND CONCEIT. Editorial Contribution to the Southern Life, Magazine Respect for the opinions of others is something to which we cannot all lay claim. It is not by any means necessary that each individual in this world should read Blackstone's Commentaries in order to get a clear idea of a person's individual rights and privileges—those he is entitled to demand for no reason other than that his is a sane human being. It ought to be necessary only to call the attention of any warped, biased intellect to the necessity, for his own future good, of thinking and meditating on the solemn truths proving that every person, ignorant or intelligent, is due a hearing when he is concerned and desires it, and that according to the teaching of Christianity and of cityization generally, every person's opinions ought to be considered and at least be respected as his right to them even though they cannot be accepted. The infidel, sceptic or agnostic has a right to express the conclusions of his reasonings; so has the anarchist. It seems to us that we need be seriously concerned in our treatment of any one only in so far as that person allows his opinions to influence his actions toward us or toward his fellowman generally. We feel safe in concluding that there is never an excuse for contemptuously disregarding, discounting or willfully any individual because of his thoughts or opinions merely. It must be admitted that it is every one's unhindered right to think, and to express his thoughts should be see fit so to do. We fear that the negro can lay a far smaller claim to a share of this full realization of individual rights than can any other race of people. Imposed upon most unreasonably when a slave, legislated against as a freeman and treated as though he landed upon this earth accidentally from some other planet, the average black man today finds himself failing out repeatedly with his neighbors who may chance to entertain opinions at variance to his own. It seems to be a natural result following past lessons taught him when he was powerless to decide what he wished to learn. On coming into possession of a little authority we find the average negro overbearing; not wearing his honors with becoming grace and humility. We find him often discounting the wishes, desires or demands of his subordinates, and falling out entirely with any who might entertain thoughts and opinions that cannot coincide with his own. Unreasonableness often holds sway in his decisions and actions. The young negro who is gradually gaining a place in the world, is hereby warned that if he wishes permanently to retain influence with his fellows and enjoy their highest respect and esteem, he must ever be watchful to retain his polise and equilibrium; not to become haughty, domineering and tyrannical, but to remember that the possession of power gives him no further right to treat people as people treat cattle, than he had when first he was born. Every aspirant for place and position should hold in mind that however strong are his convictions in any direction, there exist diametrically opposite convictions, just as strong as his, and the persons possessing them have a perfect right to them, and not only can but should expect decent treatment from him in spite of these differences. Any one who cannot see the wisdom of these observations is narrow indeed. And he who will not be influenced by the advice here given must be a hopeless case and a coming tyrant. We feel that the young neo especially needs to learn these lessons. He ought never forget that whatever other way his feelings dictate, he is unreasonable when he falls out with a fellow because he learns him in an argument. PITTSBURGH COURIER CHRISTIAN LOVE A Sermon And now there remain faith, hope and love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.—1 Corinthians, xiii, 13. Without meaning to indicate in the slightest degree the importance of faith and hope, St. Paul would have us understand that love is the greatest of all the virtues. And in this he is but following the lead of his master, who makes neither faith nor hope—important as both are—but love the test of true discipleship: "Not every one that saith 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the Kingdom of Heaven." But I was hungry and ye gave me to eat; thirsty, and ye gave me to drink," etc. These shall go into the kingdom. Many other virtues are, necessary to the Christian, but love is the essence itself—the very bone and marrow—of Christianity. It is Christianity, for the religion of Christ and love are one and identical. "Master," asked the wily lawyer, "which is the greatest commandment in the law?" And Jesus answered: "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart and thy whole soul. This is the greatest and first commandment. And the second is like to this: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as myself. On these two depend the whole law and the prophets." Thus reducing all the duties of the Christian life to two, or rather to one commandment of love—love of God and love of the fellow-man. Mark the force of the words. "And the second is like to this"—to the first. The duty of loving the neighbor is put on the same high plane with the duty of loving God himself. It was a wondrous revelation to the people of that day. Never before had such words fallen from the lips of a religious teacher. Never had any previously existing system of religion arrived at such a high conception of man's duties to his fellow-man. With good reason did Christ term it a "new commandment"—"A new commandment I give you that you love one another even as I have loved you"—for in his sense of the obligation in the importance he attached to it and the extension he gave it, it was till then unheard of. It was to embrace not only friends and kinsfolk, but the bitterest foes as well. "Love your enemies; bless them that curse you; do good to them that hate and calumniate you." Love is the striking characteristic of Christ's whole life and teaching. It was the mainspring of his every thought, word and action from the moment he left the bosom of his father till he drew his last breath on Calvary's mount asking pardon for his very murderers: "Father, forgive them; they know not what they do" It is the keynote of the New Testament, whose records are saturated with it through and through. It was the dominant feature in the life of the first Christians, who "possessed all things in common and had but one heart and one soul." It was the first feature to attract the attention and excite the admiration of the pagans. "See," they said, "how these Christians love one another." And as a result it proved the source of innumerable conversions to the Christian church. And wherever and whenever genuine love of the fellow-man has flourished strong and vigorous it has produced the same effect. The question "why men do not go to church" has been often put, and answered in various ways. We must confess that we never see the question in print without feeling that it takes too much for granted. That men in general are apathetic toward the church is a false assumption. And when those who act on this false assumption point out to an individual churches woefully lacking in male members we can point out to them, in turn, churches innumerable where the man make a most goodly showing. It can be stated with positiveness and without presumption that where individual churches fall to draw or hold either men or women it is because there is something radically, fundamentally wrong with the churches themselves; because they have lost the spirit of Christ, the pristine spirit of real brotherly love, which is the vital sap of Christianity, and become in consequence but lifeless forms or dried and dead branches. Where there is genuine Christlike love and sympathy there is not likely to be such a wonderful dearth of men; and where this Christlike love or sympathy is wanting it is the height of folly to count on their confidence or allegiance. And who can well blame them. Has not Christ himself said, plainly enough, "By their fruits ye shall know them"? Any religious system, to prove effective, must have its fruition in works of love. That's the kind of religion the men want, and the kind they have a right to expect. Dry formalism will not win them; neither will loveless philanthropy. To attract and hold thinking men the churches must prove their worth, their fitness for men, not by mere claims or professions, but by deeds of brotherly love. The love of God and the love of the fellow-man go hand in hand; and there is no exaggeration in saying that one's religion is in exact proportion to his love for his own kind. When the fame of brotherly love burns brightly in the heart religion is strong and deep; where there is little love, there is little religion where the fire of brotherly love is burned, religion WALL STREET JOKES. A friend of about 10 years, after wan- ning up and down Broadway for block either side of Wall street stop- phed before a policeman standing at the location of those two thorough- ness and inquired where he could find the firm of "L. C. Graves" "What's the number?" the patrolman asked, the hundred and one Broadway" the cop replied, and I don't see any such around here" "No, and you if you looked a month" re is dead. Such a one is none of Christa. He is not a Christian, no matter how many other virtues he may possess. St. John, who of all the apostles was closest to the Master and understood him best, makes love of the fellowman the test and touchstone of the love of God. And he minces no words in the matter: "If any man say that he loves God and hates his brother, he is a liar. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. his brother soldier. He that hath the substance of this world and seeth his brother in need and shuttet up the bowels of his mercy from him, how doth the love of God abide in him? . . . Let us love, not in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth." The "love" which manifests itself only in kindly wishes and refuses to lend a helping hand to the needy brother when the giving of alms means sacrifice is but a very poor counterfeit. If we love God truly, that love will prove itself by an earnest endeavor to advance the interests of his kingdom. So, too, if we love our fellow-man sincerely, we will show it by doing all that lies in our power to lighten his burdens, to make his life brighter and cheerier. "The tree is known by its fruits." Nothing makes a better impression on outsiders than the spirit and practice of brotherly love. It is religion in action; and if it were universal, it would do more than all the writings and hermons of theologians and preachers to evangelize the world. Just as nothing is so scandalous and disgusting to the non-religious element as the sight of discord and disunion bickering and contention, bigotry, intolerance, persecution and bitter hat red among men who profess themselves followers of the God of love. JOHN E. GRAHAM. THE NEGRO AS A CITIZEN Ethnologists who study various races by scientific methods and with as little prejudice as it is possible for men to have, affirm that there is no demand made on the human body or mind in modern life that anatomical or ethnological evidence would prove to be beyond the powers of the negro, writes A. R. Cook in the New York Christian Advocate. There is every reason to believe that when given clilts and opportunity he will be perfectly able to fill the duties of citizenship as well as does his white neighbor. His present condition is far from being satisfactory to himself or to us is he lazy? Is not the white man also? Is he dishonest? We have found some white men to be so. Is he often generally worthless? He is not alone in that. His present shortcomings are partly due to unfair treatment, and when that treatment is unjust the white man must hasten to reform before expecting great things of the negro. The attitude of the white man is often hostile and is influenced by the pigment of the negro skin rather than by the color of his heart. Every man should have a chance, whatever his color. We Anglo-Saxons have taken the attitude that God in his wisdom has created a white race to fare softly, to sleep quietly and to enjoy the good things of this world, and a black face to endure hardship and poverty, to toll and slave, to remain in ignorance and to suffer injustice in silence. Such an attitude harms the persons who maintains it as much as or more than it does the person toward whom it is directed. It is as important for the white man as it is for the negro citizen that the black man be entitled not only to life; liberty and property, but that as well he be given every opportunity to show what he can do in the way of improvement. The question of voting is one of small importance. Fair-minded and careful students of political history are agreed that a state is most fortunate when its affairs are conducted by responsible people and when it allows no one to vote who has not educational or property qualifications. The greatest field of usefulness for him, ones which promise the most freedom, success and happiness, are the fields of domestic service and agriculture. If negro women would learn the are of housekeeping there would always be open for them a line of work in which they could not be surpassed and which, after years of service, could furnish-them a competency. Already enough land is owned by negroes in the United States to furnish each 16 acres per capita for the colored population. Agriculture will afford him his greatest opportunity. In all things he needs most to strive after efficiency. That should be his politics and his religion. When joined with the genuine religion which consists of purity of heart, of humility, of peacefulness, of honesty and the other virtues of the Sermon on the Mount, he will do his share toward making the kingdoms of this world to become the kingdom of our Lord and his Christ. THE BRAYING OF AN ASS. Senator Swanson of Virginia tells a good story on himself about the first political speech he ever made. He says: "I jumped up and began: 'Gentlemen, Herodotus tells us'—— "Which ticket's he but' yelled the man with the red shirt. "Herodotus tells us,' I resumed with a gulp, 'of a whole army that was put to flight by the braying of an ass." "The crowd applauded and I felt fine. Then the man's voice rose above the din. "Young feller,' he called. 'you needn't be afraid of this crowd. It's been tested." turned the officer. "That is the number of Trinity church, and the graveyard, and furthermore, I guess you are new on the job, for that is the pet joke all Wall street houses play on their new runners." As the boy disappeared a man who had overheard the conversation said to the officer: "When I first began to work in this district I was sent down to a round building at the Battery to see if I could find a Mr. Fish. It seems that the customs have haven't changed much in the last 20 years."—New York Tribune. CHURCH NOTICES Bethel A. M. E. Church, Corner Wylie avenue and Elm street. Sunday services 10:30 A.

Found Hla Place Two New England men were talking over the days of their boyhood when one referred to an old schoolmate who had a most unfortunate disposition. "I often wonder what became of Dick," said his friend. "It always seemed to me that it wouldn't be possible for him to get any enjoyment out of life or to find any sort of work that suited him." "Oh, he's fixed all right," said the other man. "I saw him in Chicago last year, where he has a job that suits him perfectly. He is station master in a place where there are fifty trains a day coming and going, and Dick sees somebody miss every one of them." How to Become a Newesthenic. Eat no breakfast. Indulge in but one meal daily; at any rate not more than two. Eat no meat. Eat freak cereals, vegetables, nuts and fruit. Masticate every morsel 268 times -267 times won't do. Take a cold bath every morning. Be massaged daily. Read the health magazines daily. Read all the books on how to gain self-control and on psychotherapy. Concentrate the mind upon the digestion and upon all articles of diet. Upon every possible occasion discuss your imaginary troubles with your friends and coerce your wife into catering to every dietical whim that you can formulate. Buy a lot of apparatus for indoor exercise and roll a cannon ball around over selected portions of one's anatomy. — Critic and Guide. Temple of Lostia Brave Perhaps the most interesting, surely the most exquisite, house of prayer in the world is the Little Temple of the Lord's Prayer in Palestine, erected on the spot where it is believed the Savior taught his prayer to the disciples. The little temple is of pure white marble, with simple straight lines, distinctly, unlike the architecture of the Orient. "Our Father which art in heaven" in every known language is carved on the walls and columns, and is the only decoration of this supremely lovely place. To see it in the soft palm walllight of the costume moonlight, or in the earliest words to understand the matteless words of the Jerusalem marble—Christ in Heaven. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS There is a set of miserable human beings in this world who possess one talent (*) and this one is put to use more than ten times and the results usually are hundred-fold. Their breed is: "Say of others and do unto others all that will hurt or hinder, especially if you cannot succeed." This religion they promulgate, with all their night and main and it is in many cases a habit, a mania. A man is a "knocker" as he may be a kleptomaniac and if he is known to be the latter we are rather inclined to pity him than to censure, but the "knocker"—his disease is the more insidious and deadly because it is spread through words, through insinuations, innuendoes and a well night incurable, so deep are its roots in the human mind. Opinions or criticisms, the latter favorable or unfavorable, are justifiable if warranted and vice versa and the weakness of a man or woman is displayed if he or she shrinks from the expressions of his fellow-men in regard to ability, attainment or character. Freedom of speech is the boast of modern civilization and woe be unto those who would make mankilling less privileged by seeking to curtail the right of any to this boasted freedom. "Knockers" cannot be classed as "identical with those who would make the world of men better by placing before them a higher standard of morality or religion or social ethics. The latter render a display of weakness, but to uphold, but the former puts, forth his efforts to destroy and, in the progress of all, In all phases of life this contemptible sneak is met with. Too indolent or ignorant to strive for success, he finds fault with, condemns and often maligns the man who is making heart efforts to succeed. This is true in many cases of our colored men. They are not content to let each man gain success in his chosen work or profession, but think it their bounded duty to say all the evil that can be said and in this way destroy all prospects of his attainment of any work or noble purpose. The honest colored man undertakes a business enterprise — a hundred hands go up to pull him down to the depths from whence they reach a hundred voices say, "I won't patronize him, he is trying to get rich, he is too proud anyway, he is rising too rapid." The worthy and enterprising professional man undertakes a work uplifting to himself and his fellow creatures. The chronic plague breeders begin their work with him. He is "knocked" and suffers in proportion to the "weight" of the "hammers" used. Comment has been made before in regard to this class of individuals. After all "there is nothing new under the sun," nor is there anything new about this statement of the "knocker" and his accomplishments, but right-minded men and women do not wish to gain membership in this class, do not wish this disgusting habit to grow upon them. "Guard thy speech" and the attitude of mind toward all men—plainly, "put aside yer hammers and quit yer knockin'."—Chicago Chronicle. 1 With regard to the waiters' strike now in existence in this city we have two suggestions: First: Wherever the hotel proprietors employ colored people, they ought not to use them in this crisis as a catpaw. They should not be used merely to break the strike, and after the strike is broken, be "put out on the bricks." Such a course would work irreparable loss to the cause of the colored waiters, and would create prejudice far worse than now exists against them. We hope that wherever colored waiters enter employment formerly by white waiters, they will have it clearly understood that they are to keep their jobs permanently, and not only for the time being. Second: We wish to invoke upon the waiters the importance of doing the work as efficiently as the white waiters. This means that we should keep the job must keep his body and clothes clean and attractive, and must study his work just as the white waiter does. He must not use his job merely as a stepping stone to something else, but must master every detail of it. The colored walter cannot get situations in first-class hotels and restaurants if he sits up all night or a good part of the night, and then goes to his post sleep and flithy next morning. He must be just as clean, attractive and wide awake as the white waiter. He if pursue the right policy, the chances are that many of the colored waiters will obtain permanent employment in this city. "Working One's Way Through College and University" (A. C. McClurg & Co., by Calvin Dill Wilson, discusses all phases of the problem now uppermost of the minds of thousands of our boys and girls. Mr. Wilson's advice is helpful and optimistic. His extensive investigations have revealed the fact there is no college in the United States where it is impossible for a self-supporting young man to complete his course; that there are some where the number of students partly or entirely earning their way runs as high as 50 per cent, and that even at the most expensive universities there are nu- Today, situated on the banks of the Bogalusa creek, one would admire this healthy city, with avenues, beautiful residences, parks and hotels for the accommodation of visitors; two banks, where your money can be deposited in safety; one of the largest saw mills and large paper mills, which afford labor for thousands of persons, where there is no restriction or discrimination as to races, hotel porters and waiters; where hundreds are employed as washgroomers, yardmen and butlers, where they get the best of merous opportunities in the way of scholarships and honor prizes for the student need of financial assistance. Mr. Wilson tells of a colored student at the Northwestern university medical school, one of the most exciting courses in any college, who for two years acted as pateron on the Twentieth Century Limited between Chicago and Cleveland. He would leave Chicago at 2:30 p.m. one day, return at 7:30 the next morning, attend school all that day and the next morning, and go out again on the 2:30 train on that third afternoon. He earned about $80 a month and supported an invalid father, a mother and a sister during his time in college. Another young magazine writer whom Mr. Wilson quotes calls the "paradise of the self-supporting student," after having been successively a locomotive fireman, a truckman, a department store salesman and a switchman, entered college and during a part of his time lived over a barn and did his own cooking. A third more than his expenses by selling honey and eggs to boarding house keepers—New York Sun. Genius can never develop until the mind is free enough to follow its own thoughts. The conventional always stifles anything like a genius. Image in Edison as having spent four years at college as a young man and then becoming a professor. Would his genius have ever blossomed forth? Imagine Theodore Roosevelt as having become a dentist at 25, and settled down in a city of 6,000. Would his genius for leadership have ever carried him to the president's chair? Those who become great, under our present modes of thinking, and under our present ways of educating the young, are those who feel a mighty urge from natural ability. We do not make it easy for genius to develop. We do not encourage genius by our customs. We do not welcome originality. As it is now, no one but an intense egotist has courage to do his own thinking and follow his genius to success. Only an intense egotist has power sufficient to overcome mental laziness and get away from the currents of conventional thought. There is an original vein in every man. There is a path to original development open to every one. There is something you can do that no one else can do quite so well. You have a work all your own. But you will not find it by slipping into the ruts of the conventional and loiling at ease in the ideas of your teachers and associates. The great genius is animated within himself. He weighs all suggestions from the outside and he accords each suggestion only so much weight as it seems to him to be entitled to. He does not attach importance to a doctine or a theory simply because it has been accepted by the crowd. He does not ever tap the real source of original power within our selves because we are so busy following out the suggestions offered to us from the outside. "Insist on yourself, never imitate," says Emerson. And this is the secret of power and genius—Southern Life Magazine. Little police protection is afforded our girls of today because "while we have an efficient police department, our present officers have not the interest in negro social uplift, nor have they the opportunity to acquaint themselves with conditions that threaten our girls' future, and right here we will say that even one good negro officer could do more for the moral and social safety of the negro girl than all our present county, city, township and school officers together. We need this protection for our girls, but it can only come by training our girls led by some of our good and capable negro women who have the future of their race at heart. Agitation will bring the protection and organization will do the saving of our girls. - Springfield (IL): Citizen. Negroes lose out in contesting with white people because they cannot present a united front when making demands. This was forcibly illustrated at the General Conference of the M. B. church at Milneapolis, Minn., by the Negro delegates on the matter of a Negro bishop. As soon as these delegates arrived there, they split up, and leadership of them was impossible. White men know that splitting us Negroes is the best way to control or misuse them, and in every instance our men gulp down this same old bait. Chicago negroes are catching the progressive spirit. We learn from the Defender that the Lincoln State Saw has opened its doors and that the outlook is most promising. We hope for our neighbors in the Windy City much success.

The white churchmen's efforts to interest Negroes in African redemption are telling in tangible results. Many returned Negro missionaries have been touring the south within recent months placing the interests of the dark continent on the hearts of their fellows. We shall welcome the day when national governments will seek to interest Negroes in Africa's material development. WORK OF DR. I. G. PENN EMINENT RACE LEADER. (Continued from Page One.) His days of the church upon the commission on federation of all the colored Methodist churches throughout the world, upon which he is the ranking lay member. In the matter of organizations Dr. Penn has a notable career. He has in his credit the Epworth League in his own church, which in the past sixteen years he has built up until it occupies the position of the best and most widely organized Christian society among the young colored people, yielding by far the largest results. He engineered the first and most successful Negro exposition movement, during which time he also called together the Negro physicians, giving birth to the idea which has since resulted in the forceful National Medical association. Through the national Negro young people's congress Dr. Plan offered for the first time in all history a movement whereby Negroes of all denominations could come together in one great Christian movement for the race. The last movement which he pushed to a successful conclusion was that of quadruple conventions among the colored conferences in the Methodist Episcopal church whereby several benevolent causes among the colored people could be placed in the way of self support. Fathered Fifthth Anniversary Idea. Out of these conventions came the decision to observe the fifteenth anniversary of the emancipation of the Negro by the M. E. church on behalf of the Freedman Aid society to raise $500,000 for the endowment of schools. Dr. Penn, the originator of the convention movement, could not foresee at the time of putting forward these conventions that in less than two years he would be called to the office of one of the corresponding secretaries of the Freedman Aid societies and given the task of pushing forward the great jubilee movement, which was the outgrowth of these conventions. Again, Dr. Penn twenty-five years ago, when he lived in Lynchburg, Va., undertook to take the lead with others in having the local church, of which he was a member, give $5,000 in one sum for the establishment of the Virginia College and Industrial Institute in that city, now one of the Freedman Aid schools. His church gave this sum of money. Perhaps the most effective argument which he will have to use in securing funds through the church for education will be that one church will his own efforts contributed such a sum of money for the education of Negro children, emphasizing at this early time self help upon their part. His success in these and other efforts leads the people of the country to feel that Dr. Penn will bring to the Freedman Aid society, in addition to his energetic and forceful manner, the ripe experience he has gained in all these activities, and thus be the means of bringing larger results for the work of the schools in the south that depend almost entirely upon the Freedman Aid society for their maintenance. BEAVER FALLS (Eva Holmes.)

SAY CUBAN INSURGANTS. (Continued from Page One.) every Gallego on whom we can lay our hands. "The present government of Cuba has endeavored to convince the people that the present is a race war. This, however, is false, as evidenced by the fact that in our ranks we have many white men, and that in Cuba a race war, would be an absolute possibility, with the exception of a few white foreigners, all would be on one side. It was for the purpose of notifying the world that I had undertaken and was conducting a revolution in Cuba that I burned the buildings of the Spanish American Iron company. "I regretted the necessity for this action and also the taking of such property as ardu, horses, saddles, etc., but for the success of the enterprise it was absolutely necessary to obtain these things, as it would be impossible to carry on a revolution merely by organizing a band of men and quietly sitting under a mango tree. "Any agreement that I might make with the government of Cuba for the settlement of this affair would have to be concluded in the presence of a representative of the United States of America and only upon the assurance of this representative that the United States would guarantee the absolute fulfillment by the Cuban government of the agreement, as the officials of that government have made many promises to me in the past and so far none of them have been fulfilled. We ask only for our"rights as citizens and we hope the American people will comprehend our position and will study the matter with great care before they become satisfied that it is necessary to intervene." George Collisier, the American owner of a ranch at Sigua, near Diauqi, who was reported to have been held for ransom by the insurgents, has arrived here. He bells an interesting story of the experiences of himself and his partner, Mr. Wheeler, in the insurgent camp. On May 30 four armed negroes arrived at their rabbs. They requested hostage for the rebels. Camped at its Gracia and when they departed took six horses with them. Later a messenger arrived from the rebel headquarters and informed Collisier and Wheeler that Generals Colnog and Ivonet desired to see them. They proceeded to the rebel camp, and General Estenoz made profuse epilogies for taking their horses, but said that he had been compelled to do so. Estenoz assured them that the insurgents would not disturb their ranch, as they were carrying on civilized warfare. He added that he had been compelled to destroy property at Daliquiri in order to show the world that they were engaged in a revolution, but denied that the was fighting against foreigners. The movement was aimed entirely against the Cuban government. The leader declared that he would allow none of his men to commit say outrage, and promised that all found guilty of such acts would be punished. He thanked the Americans for visiting him and escorted them beyond the outposts, from which they reached home without difficulty. GREENSBURG (By Warrick Anderson) Rev.

FRIDAY, JULY 8, 1912 A UNITED EFFORT FOR RURAL BETTERMENT BEING MADE BY NEGRO COLLEGES OF ATLANTA A UNITED EFFORT FOR RURAL BETTERMENT BEING MADE BY NEGRO COLLEGES OF ATLANTA Organization and co-operation are the fundamental forces that are accomplishing the stupendous tasks which brand this as the most progressive age of all time. These forces are being utilized among the six big negro colleges at Atlanta in their first step of co-operative effort. The organization of the "Atlanta Federation of Schools for the Improvement of Negro Country Life" marks a new epoch in the educational affairs of our people in Georgia, and has the possibilities of reaching out into every needy community of the south. Such a federation has unlimited opportunities for usefulness. These six colleges are now engaged in extension work which cannot be done as effectively by one as by all operating together in combination. The adoption of this idea in educational centers like Atlanta, Nashville, New Orleans, Augusta, and others, would spread the movement to cover the entire south. Here is a nucleus of co-operation among the alumni of these colleges in such communities where two or more of them reside. Possibly 75 per cent. of colored graduates in Georgia were educated in Atlanta's six colored colleges. Get this three-fourths of our prepared workers into a united movement for the improvement of negro rural life, and telling results are sure of accomplishment. The undergraduates attending these schools will also, on their return home each year, find a mapped-out plan for mission work that will be well worth their following. When we consider that fully four-fifths of the 2,750 students enrolled yearly in these six colleges are from Georgia communities, it can be seen that there is a mass of good working material that can be utilized in helping the rural people to increase their efficiency, raise their standards of living, and become more largely interested in community life. Many individuals have gone out from our Atlanta colleges and have independently built up efficient organizations for giving effective educational advantages to the masses in those sections where they have gone. Notably among them are: Prof. A. H. Hunt, principal of the Fort Valley High and Industrial school, in Houston-county; Prof. J. W. Reddick, principal of the American Institute, in Sumter county; Mrs. Julia C. Jackson, who conducts a model country school in Clark county. Under the direction of the "Atlanta Federation of Schools for the Improvement of Negro Country Life" every one with the inclination to be of the largest possible service to his or her people, can engage in a worthy work along this line under expert supervision. The Federation of Schools will for the present confine their efforts to the promotion of Negro Boys' Corn clubs in Georgia, but their entrance at some future time into other activities in extension work will be heartily welcomed by their thousands of patrons and friends. Philadthropists and the managers of special funds for the promotion of education have refrained in the past from giving to the cause in this section because of the multiplicity of independent institutions here and a duplication of college work, not resisting to help one to the exclusion of the others, and unable to give to all. But this federation for extension work ought to relieve them of further embarrassment, for through it the extension work of all six colleges will be promoted and the entire people in Georgia and the south will ultimately be benefited. Much credit is due the heads of these schools and their assistants in effecting such an organization. The laudable and well known rivalry between the colleges was thought by many an inurmountable obstacle in the way of any such united effort on their part. That each has risen above a natural chalistheness and has joined in the effort to accomplish the largest possible good for the people, is a testimonial to their earnestness and Christian devotion to the larger purpose of unifying the negro people. The field work of organizing corn clubs has been delegated to a committee on corn clubs with the following as members: Professor Towns of Atlanta university, Miss Brill of Spelman seminary, Professor Harper of Morris Brown college, Professor Acher of Atlanta Baptist college, Prof P. C. Parks, farm director of Clark university, chairman of this committee. With these workers organizing corn clubs among the constituents of their several institutions, big results may be looked for when the corn show of the Negro Boys' Corn clubs is held in November of this year in Atlanta. At this early date, twelve counties are organized with about 500 contestants. The federation has aporited 6200 for prizes to be offered the boys in each county growing the most corn to the acre.
