THE PITTSBURGH COURIER INVENTOR ROSE FROM OBSCURITY TO FAME CIRCULATION BOOKS ARE OPEN TO ADVERTISERS VOL. III. NO. 30. Remarkable Record of Benjamn Banneker, Who Achieved Greatness Many Years Ago The biography of Benjamin Banneker as given by John H. B. Latrobe and published by the American Negro Monographs company, in Washington, is worthy of the most careful reading. Professor John W. Cromwell is the editor of series No. 3, which contains a full account of Banneker's achievements. Benjamin Banneker was born in Baltimore county, Md., near the village of Illinois's Mills, in the year 1732. His father was a native African and his mother the child of natives of Africa, so that is no admixture of the blood of the white man was he indebted for his peculiar and extraordinary abilities. His father was a slave when he married, but his wife, who was a free woman and possessed of great energy and industry, very soon afterward purchased his freedom. Banneker's mother was named Morton before her marriage and belonged to a family remarkable for its intelligence. When upward of seventy she was still very active, and it is remembered of her that at this advanced age she made nothing of running and skipping like a child. Property Qualification For Voters. A nephew of hers, Greenbury Morton, was a person of some note notwithstanding his complexion. Prior to 1809 free people of color possessed of a certain property qualification voted in Maryland. In this year a law was passed restricting the right of voting to free white males. Morton was ignorant of the law till he offered to vote at the polls in Baltimore county, and it is said that when his vote was refused, he addressed the crowd in a strain of pure impassioned eloquence which kept the audience that the election had assembled in breathless attention while he spoke. When Benjamin was old enough he was employed to assist his parents in their labor. This was at an early age when his destiny seemed nothing better than that of a child of poor and ignorant free Negroes, occupying a few acres of land in a remote and thinly peopled neighborhood, a destiny which certainly at this day is not of very brilliant promise and which at the time in question must have been gloomy enough. Attends Country District School. In the intervals of toil and when he was approaching or had attained manhood he was sent to an obscure and distant country school, which he attended until he had acquired a knowledge of reading and writing and had advanced in arithmetic as far as double position. In all matters beyond these rudiments of learning he was his own instructor. On leaving school Ben, as his friends were wont to call him, was obliged to labor for years, almost uninterrupted, for his support. But, his memory being retentive, he lost nothing of the little education he had acquired. On the contrary, although utterly destitute of books, he amplified and improved his stock of arithmetical knowledge by the operation of his mind alone. He was an observer of everything that he saw or which took place around him in the natural world. He sought with vividity information from all sources of what was going forward in society, so that he became gradually possessed of a fund of general knowledge which it was difficult to find among those even who were far more favored by opportunity and circumstances than he was. At first his information was a subject of wonder among his illiterate neighbors only, but by degrees his reputation spread, through a wider circle. Benjamin Banneker, still a young man, came to be thought of as one who could not only perform all the operations of mental arithmetic with extraordinary facility, but exercise a sound and discriminating judgment upon men and things. Invents Clock at Thirty Years of Age. It was at this time, when he was about thirty years of age, that he contri-aged and made a clock which proved an excellent timepiece. He had seen a watch, but not a clock, such an article not yet having found its way into the quiet and secluded valley in which he lived. The watch was therefore his model. It took him a good while to accomplish this feat, his great difficulty, as he often used to say, being to make the hour, minute and second hands corpound in their motions. But the clock was finished at last and raised still higher the credit of Banneker in his neighborhood as an ingenious man, as well as a good arithmetician. As already stated, the basis of Banneker's arithmetical knowledge was obtained from the schoolbook into which he had advanced as far as double position, but in 1757 Mr. George Elliott lent him "Mayer's Tablets," "Ferguson's Astronomy" and "Leadbeater's Lunar Tables." Along with these books were some astronomical instruments. Everybody is doing it. What? Why reading the Courier. The Paper That Promotes Progress JOHNSON OPENS THE CAFE DE CHAMPION Fifteen Thousand Dollars' Worth of Paintings Adorn Walls of "Entertainment Room" Chicago, Ill.-The Cafe de Champion, owned by John Arthur Johnson, restauranteur, formerly known as—and still flippantly referred to by some as Jack Johnson, was opened last week. John Arthur Johnson has traveled extensively. He has treated himself to wines and high foods in the best cafes in this country and in Europe. But he admits that the best features of all these domestic and foreign places "couldn't get into the same ring with this eat and drink emporium." For the convenience of splitting patrons Johnson has purchased silver cuspidors bearing his own monogram. They cost $67.50 each. The paintingings in the "Entertainment room" where 500 can sit comfortably, cost $15,000. The silver water pitcher and silver service to hold the spices, lemon peel and coffee beans that decorate the bar cost $3,000. And all the other equipment of the Cafe de Champion is in keeping. THE MAN WHO KNOCKS THE MAN WHO KNOCKS (By Samuel R. Rosemond.) God pity the poor misanthrope. Who blackened hearts beyond all hope. Whose conscience is immune to shock. Whose sweetest morsel's a chance to "knock." Deep down in his narrow soul 'eer seeks A chance to emit the filth that reeks Like putrid matter on yon drear rock. For this only aim in life's to "knock." It is a matter of deep concern. Which way in the end such men will turn. If we believe what the good books tell There's only one place for them that's Hell- Where they may reap the seed they have sown, and the hurt that others have known. FOREIGN DELEGATES RETURN TO HOME FIELD FOREIGN DELEGATES RETURN TO HOME FIELD The work of the African Methodist Episcopal church in Africa is carried on by many able men, whose achievements have resulted in the salvation of many souls. Three of the presiding elders of districts in Africa were present at the recent session of the general conference held in Kansas City, Mo. They were the Rev. S. H. Simanchea, presiding elder; Rev. A. S. Gabushane and Rev. Makinya, presiding elder, of Pretoria, Transvaal, Bloemonton, Orange Free State and of Izell-Frankfort, King William's Town, South Africa. The Bethel institute at Cape Town, South Africa, was founded by Bishop Levi J. Coppin of Philadelphia several years ago. It is in a flourishing condition and is doing a great work of uplift among the natives. The influence exerted upon the natives by the school gives the missionaries a decided advantage in their efforts along religious, industrial and educational lines. The clergymen mentioned here were guests of Bishop and Mrs. L. J. Coppin and Mrs. L. D. Laws at their home in Philadelphia for a week previous to their return to Africa about the middle of June. They are well educated and speak six different languages, including English. A reception was given in their honor before they left Philadelphia for New York, from which point they sailed on the White Star line. REWARDS MAN WHO RESCUED CHILDREN By his keen toresight in stopping a team of frightened horses in Philadelphia recently Shedwick Waters, Jr., of Paschall, Pa. saved the lives of more than half a dozen children. As a token of gratitude for his services Mr. Waters was awarded the sum of $5 and a vote of thanks by those interested in the welfare of the children.

Reed, author of a book entitled "A Race Between Two Straits," has gained a wide reputation both as a writer and lecturer. His recent lecture on "The Attitude of the Labor Trusts Toward the Colored and Nonunion Man," at the Union Baptist church in Orange, N. J., has created much favorable comment. In the course of his remarks the Rev. Mr. Reed said: We are living in a great age. We feel that it is a special favor to be so signally blessed in having our existence at this the most glorious epoch of human history, and that we are the most human greatness, beholding wonders the sages never dreamed of, neither conceived of by the fathers. Our problems are many and perplexed, the world richer, civilization more advanced, while competition between men and nations seems to be more intense. But as we feel generations doubtless from the beginning of the human family have felt. In portraying the fame and heroism of the great men of the Jews as only a Paul could his admiration was lost in the records of the prophets of the Bible, and in the heroism after generation. So it was with world ruling powers among hostile nations of other times. BEV. DR. W. B. BEED. Each in turn worshiped the gods that it had outmeasured all of the past and to be a standard for all the future. Men come and go, nations wax and wane, methods come and grow old, but truth What has been true is now true. Every man has his faults; none is perfect. Every generation has had its issues and conflicts and, with whatever magnified pledge he has made, must work for the next generation to do. The fall of earth's blackest crime at Appomotox seemed to have been enough to purge the nation from shore to shore and all join the doctor's point of view to kill it. But, Lincoln, where art thou? Garfield, McKinley, all gone. The fury of the mob rises from a thousand different places, defying all that is lawful and sacred. From the colored man's point of view there are many barriers to be broken down but over and above all there are three major questions—viz. disfranchement, microcrime and the labor trust. While disfranchement and jimcrowism is directly poured out upon the heads of the colored race. But the labor trust aims to handcuff the nation, the world, great and small, the rich and the poor. It means to pull the throttle of judicial power and make and unmake the executive heads. Let the law abiding voters elect men to office pledged to make laws alike for all men and special favors for none. Effect of strikers. Effect of men who will say every man has the right to stop work and every man has a right to work without interference of any one. When men find out that the jail will be the first stopping point, the nation will cease from troubling us and the nation will be at rest. LARGER BENEFITS FOR THE SONS OF VIRGINIA The board of directors of the Society of the Sons of Virginia has recommended an increase in the benefits due financial members when ill and claims due to the heirs of deceased financial members. The recommendation of the board will be voted upon by the society at the first meeting in September. MARRIAGE LIGENSES Peter Cleveland ..... Pittsburgh Jaffa Sanders ..... Pittsburgh Charles G.

WHEN SHE COMES HOME JAMES WHITCOMB RILEY WHEN she comes home again! A thousand ways I fashion, to myself, the tenderness Of my glad welcome: I shall tremble—yes; And touch her, as when first in the old days I touched her girlish hand, nor dared upraise Mine eyes, such was my faint heart's sweet distress. Then silence: And the perfume of her dress: The room will sway a little, and a haze Cloy eyesight—soulsight, even— for a space: And tears—yes; and the ache here in the throat, To know that I so ill deserve the place Her arms make for me; and the sobbing note I stay with kisses, ere the tearful face Again is hidden in the old embrace. PITTSBURG'PA., JULY 12, 1912. A TRIBUTE PAID TO WOMEN SOCIAL SERVICE WORKERS Endeavor fo Reform Delinquent Colored Children---Attorney Lewis' Forceful Address New York. - The June meeting of the Utopia Neighborhood club in this city, held the last week in the month, was largely attended. The Rev. Dr. William H. Brooks, pastor of St. Mark's M. E. church, and Mrs. B. Kemp took part in the opening exercises, which were held in the Mount Olivet Baptist church, Dr. W. P. Hayes, pastor. The meeting was held in the interest of the Detention Home For Colored Girls. Assistant Attorney. General William H. Lewis of Washington and Ernest J. Coulter, former clerk of the children's court in this city, were the chief speakers for the occasion. In his forceful address, which was listened to attentively, Mr. Lewis said: listened to intentively. Mr. Lewis said, "Of the many graduates of Amherst college none are doing more effective service than those engaged in the work of social service. Prominently among them is the Rev. C. H. Parkhurst, who gave to New York city its first awakening along social lines. District Attorney Whitman is also doing a most excellent work along the lines of social service. "Throughout the country there are graduates from this institution who are doing excellent work for the uplift of the human family generally. It is far easier to condemn than to save, and it is through just such agencies as women's clubs that this work is to be accomplished. "Under the social system which we live in the evil surrounding the young people of our race is destined to disappear through the courts of social evolution. It is impossible for the white people of this country to save themselves without saving us. We should not have to appeal to the public for funds to carry on an institution of this kind for colored girls, but there should be homes provided and supported by the state for all of its citizens alike." Mr. Coulter said: "Tea years ago the children of New York were treated as if they were thieves, thugs or drunkards. Conditions are greatly improved now, and the credit belongs to the noble woman who first conceived the idea of properly dealing with children." Mr. Coulter further said that if the children of our cities are not good we as citizens are responsible, because we should surround them with the best influences. "We hear so much of the delinquent boy and girl, but I want to tell you that the number of delinquent parents would astound you, and I hope the day is not far distant when there will be an institution for such parents. "There are fewer delinquent boys and girls among the colored people than any other race. This is remarkable in view of the fact that many of their parents labor under such tremendous opposition and obstacles." The readers of the Coulter are earnestly urged to read the advertisements in our paper. When visiting the places of business, kindly mention the Coulter. WATCH THE COURIER GROW.

One only needs to refer to the Cosmopolitan church for a verification of the above statement. Dr. Drew founded this church. It is doing good work and is full of life and Christian zeal for the uplift of the people. As an evangelist Pastor Drew is widely known. He is deeply interested in the material as well as the religious advancement of the race.

THE PAPER THAT REACHES THE HOME Association of Teachers Hold Sixth Annual Meeting—Better Educational Facilities CAUSES OF SLOW PROGRESS Okolona, Miss.—A group of earnest, hardworking, race loving men and women known as the Mississippi Association of Teachers In Colored Schools recently met at the Okolona Industrial school in this town. It was the sixth annual meeting of the association. If there is any class of professional persons on earth who should be well nigh discouraged it is the average colored schoolteacher in the south. One is apt to get used to thinking of the lot of the president of a school as an easy one, as that of a man who has nothing to do but to raise money, but such is a mistaken idea. Then, too, some unsuppressible agents have been going north with such frequency, taking toll of the charitably disposed people with such regularity, that the path of the honest educator is, to say the least, an uncomfortable one to travel. To all this add the inequality of school facilities in the average southern state, add the anxiety that is occasioned the earnest teacher when he knows that he must bring about results with unequal facilities and unequal pay, and you get an idea of the situation. For example, in his annual address before the Mississippi Association of Teachers in Colored Schools President J. A. Martin, himself an educator, now PRESIDENT W. A. BATTLE serving as president of the state school in Alcorn college, called attention in a vigorous manner to the inequality of pay and consequently to the inequality of service rendered. It is folly to expect good teachers to work on an average salary of $19 per month. Addressing themselves seriously to this matter of unequal school facilities, the members of the Mississippi association have contributed individual sums of money, ranging from $5 to $20; to furnish an organizer for the various county associations; who in turn will send representatives to the annual state association, hoping thereby to perfect plans for the betterment of schools with or without state aid. This does not mean by any means that these teachers acquiesce in the policy of discrimination in educational matters that is practiced so disfigurately by the school authorities and sanctioned, for the most part, by the people. They are determined that if the state authorities in any manner deny them the proper educational advantages they will see to it that the colored children are provided with proper school facilities. In the statement which the teachers have sent out to the public they make a strong appeal to the county superintendents and the state superintendent for better financial provisions for the colored people, better equipment, larger salaries and closer official supervision, but while asking these things from the forces that have all along steadfastly denied them the teachers are taking steps themselves to do their part. William H. Holtzclaw, corresponding secretary of the Teachers' association, has built up at Utica, in the central portion of the state, an institution that has reached and is reaching thousands of our people throughout that section of the state and is bringing to them intellectual and industrial freedom: On the other hand, Wallace A. Battle at Okolona has erected the Okolona Industrial school, which teaches regularly more than 400 students, has a well equipped plant, a well regulated farm and shop and is the guiding star of thousands of the race who live just around it. There can be no discounting the value of the work of these two young men, one a Tuskegee graduate and the other from Beres college. The fact remains and is so recognized by the leaders of the Mississippi Colored Teachers' association that just such work as this is the kind that must be done by teachers throughout the south who would help their people. The awakening to this necessity, a sort of return to self help, is the most refreshing sign that friends to Negro education have seen in many a day. McKEESPORT Mr_atd Mrs. Thos.

"And you—you will—do you think—" He stopped. "No," he said, "I shall stop there, with this moment, with this statement. I ask nothing, I expect nothing, and so far as a man can crush down his own feelings, I hope for nothing. I just want you to know the fact." "I know it," was the answer. "Now, you must let me say something. I am, at least I believe myself to be, absolutely heart free. Sometimes I have thought that what you have said might be true, with regard to your feelings I mean; but I have tried to gut it out of my mind. Your declaration, therefore, comes to me with a certain measure of surprise. You have not asked me anything, and it is just as well that you have not. I think I can say honestly and truthfully that I do not care for you now in the way you seem to care for me." "Seem to care for you," cried the man impulsively. "The way you do care for me then," returned the woman. "That's better." "And whether I could care in that way, I don't know: but at least I care for no one else. And while I hold myself in free as the air, when you speak to me again on this subject, I shall at least be ready to hear you." "That is all that I can ask." "Meanwhile I want to say over and over again how I respect you, how I admire you. The fine life you have lived, the splendid stand you have taken for public right, the crowning of your long and honorable and unblemished career with the success which I think I see before you and with the great opportunity for service, fill me with pride." "Miss Haldane," said Gormly, "what you say to me, is sweeter and more precious than the acclaim, the applause, the indorsement of all the rest of the people of New York. As I said, I began this to make myself worthy of you; but I would not be worthy of you. I would not be worth considering in any light, if I did not say to you now that I am carrying it on for the work and for the possibilities that it presents, as well as for you. "I believe you," said the woman, "and I am glad to have you say that." "Although there is nothing in my life I so covet as you, Miss Haldane," went on the man with the blunt honesty that somehow appealed to the woman much more powerfully than mere graceful and romantic wooing. "Yet if I had to choose now between you and this great opportunity for services to the people—" He paused and looked at her again, wondering how she would receive the statement he was determined to make. "You would choose the opportunity for service," interposed the woman quickly. "I should have to do so. And yet you still remain my inspiration," said the man. "Your approbation means more to me than anything or everything else. I don't know what fate has in store for me; but I doubt if I shall have another opportunity of the magnitude of that I have enjoyed tonight, and that you were there completes my satisfaction." "Mine, too." Yet, there is another thing that I ought to say," continued Gormly," and this was the hardest thing he had ever attempted, he thought. "You have smoked of my career, of my long and honorable record, of my unblemished reputation. I have to confess to my shame that I am not altogether worthy of your confidence." "What do you mean?" "Ever since I have been in New York, there is no act of my life that I could not tell you myself; but before that—" "You were a boy then," said the woman quickly. "But I mingled with life in an ugly way." "That ride in the snow?" she whispered, staring at him in turn. It did not occur to him to lay any emphasis upon or draw any inference from the fact that she had remembered his/remarks of several months before. "And that other woman, was it she for whom you rode?" she went on. "Yes," said he. "Did you do anything that makes you unworthy the respect of—" "Not anything dishonorable in one sense, answered Gormly. "And whatever it was, I have repented of it long since and would have made amends if I could have done so; but—Well, if I ever should come to you with that question about being my wife, I will tell you all about it. As it is, I don't want even the fastest shadow out of a pretense about myself where you are concerned." "You were only a boy, as you say, Mr. Gormly," said Miss Haldane after a long pause. "I don't know what it is, nor do I wish to, now. I know what you are, the would know what you have since you have been here, and I—" She extended her hand to him. "I trust you, I would trust you with anything." The man took it in both his own. They were stretching out beyond the city. No one was near. The two in front were busy about their own con- T M. H. He Bent Over and Kissed It Fervently. cerbs. He bent over and kissed it fervently. "I thank you for that," he said simply, as he released it. Mrs. Haldane is Surprised. The Haldane family usually partook of luncheon together. Breakfast was an irregular meal taken at different times by different members of the household, and dinner usually brought many engagements which widely separated them. A few days after the automobile ride, while the evention over the proposed granting to the Uttam Brahman Traction company of the New York Street Car company franchise was still at its height, Mr. and Mrs. Haldane and their daughter, after waiting sometime for the arrival of Livestock Haldane, sat down to luncheon without him. The conversation turned, as it usually did, on the campaign. Haldane looked worried Well he might be. The hold and decisive action of Gormly, his adroitness in wrestling the pledge that he had done from the mayor, the fact that the city was now thoroughly aroused and as never before to the situation, were calculated to increase his anxiety, which had grown with the progress of the campaign. The brilliant stroke of Gormly when he offered ten million dollars for the franchise and thereafter compelled Warren to declare the granting of it to depend on the election had greatly increased the probabilities of defeat. "What do you mean?" B00K III. CHAPTER XII. There were indications also, which added to Haldane's troubles, that his own connection with the Gotham Freight Traction company would soon be known, and that there would be disclosed to New York at the same time the operation of that gigantic company, its ramifications, and the control it had of public utilities in every direction. It was Eleanor who opened the conversation, after the luncheon had been served and the servants had withdrawn. "Father," she said, "I have been thinking for some days now that I ought to tell you something that happened the other night." "What night, Eleanor?" "The night Mr. Gormly made his famous speech in the city hall square. You know Livingstone and Louisise and I were down there in the car and saw and heard it all." "Yes," said her father, somewhat bitter, "it was told to me the next morning that Gormly had spoken from your brother's side and that after it was all over he had ridden away with you two young women." "Told to you?" exclaimed his daughter. "Why should you be interested in Mr. Gormly's movements?" Haldane saw that he had made a mistake. "I mean, he said quickly, "that I heard of all this from some of those who were present." "Eleanor, I am surprised," began Mrs. Haldane in her loftiest and most impressive manner, "that you should allow yourself to be mixed up with this ineffable person in any way. It is bad enough to have Livingston espousing his cause; but to have you associated with him in the public eye, or out of it, is simply preposterous!" "Mother!" said Miss Haldane mildly; but the elder woman was not to be stopped. "The family has never been allied with trade since it has been settled on Manhattan Island. I am a firebred Colonial Dame; your father's people are nearly as old; and I say frankly that I do not like your intimacy with this person. Of course Livingstone being a man, it does not make so much difference; but you should be more careful." "I think it proper," said Miss Haldane at this juncture, "to inform you that Mr. Gormly told me that he cared very much for me." "What!" exclaimed both Mr. and Mrs. Haldane at the same moment and with one voice. The intimation, however, and the H. H. feeling expressed in both cases were decidedly different. Both were surprised; but Mrs. Haldane's surprise was lost in indignation. In Haldane's amusement, there was a shade of relief. A possibility instantly leaped in to his mind, a possibility that he dared not formulate or give utterance to. It rendered him less emphatic, therefore, in his disapproval. Nothing restrained Mrs. Haldane. "The impudence, the insolence of that man" she cried. "It was bad enough to have him aspire to be mayor of New York; but that he should have the audacity, the presumption to raise his eyes to you, Eleanor Haldane, is inconceivable. I trust that you reduced him to his proper position instantly. For one thing, I am glad that he did declare himself: for now the acquaintance will be absolutely ended." "He did not ask me to be his wife," returned the daughter quietly. "Why, good gracious! you don't mean to say that he——" "Eliana," interposed Haldane, "don't be foolish. I have no doubt that Mr. Gormly's remarks were entirely proper." "Mother!" exclaimed the girl indignantly, "Of course they were." "Well, you said yourself he did not ask you to marry him." "No," was the hesitating answer. "But he said he intended to do so." "I wish he would do it then, and have it over with." "My dear wife," said Haldane, "while of course such an alliance is not to be thought of, yet Mr. Gormly, so far as I know, has done no dissonor to Eleanor by his remark, and——" "Have you taken leave of your usse, Rochman Haldane?" cried his PITTSBURGH COURIER wife. "Such a proposition as that should be disposed of at once, and I repeat I am sorry that the man hast tated, for whatever reason I can't amine, so that the affair might have been conclusively settled." "I am not at all sure, mother," answered Miss Haldane, "that it would have been conclusively settled in the way at least you seem to think the only way possible, if he had asked me to be his wife." "Eleanor, you could not possibly love this man!" "I could do so; but I certainly do not love him now. I certainly respect and admire him. I think he is the leading citizen of New York today. If he wins this election and goes on as he should, there is no reason why he should not be president of the United States. I believe it would be easier to be elected to that office than to be come mayor. And while I do not feel toward him as I should toward the man I will come day marry, yet there are many other things in the prospect that allure." "But you are a Haldane, you are a Stuyvesant, you are——" "I know, mother, all that my ancestor were. As for myself, I am just an American girl who likes American men and American institutions, and who is glad to see people do things." "I presume," said Haldane, who had said little but had thought deeply, "that such a proposition, if definitely made, would be made to me." "Well then, of course," said his wife, "you will give but one answer." "And what would you suggest that should be?" asked Haldane. "To show him the door." "I hardly think," returned her husband, "that I should be guilty of that discountey." "There is no use," interposed her daughter, "to discuss the matter any further; for he has not asked me, I haven't accepted him. I don't know whether he ever will ask me or not, and until he does why trouble about it." "Well, what does he mean then by telling you that he loves you? Loves!" sneered the older woman disdainfully. "Yes," said her father, "it seems to me a rather remarkable course for a man to address a woman in that way, and yet not complete his proposition." "He said that something was impending which made him feel that it was proper to tell me this now." "Something inwarding?" "Some sort of disclosure, I inferred," answered the girl, "that might affect him or possibly me." Haldane started. "Well," he said, "I do not quite agree with your mother. There is no insult in the honest affection of any honest man. But if he approaches you upon the subject, I wish that you would refer him to me." "Father!" "Beckman!" exclaimed the older woman, greatly surprised. "You don't mean—" "Now, I don't mean anything, except just what I say," answered Haldane decisively. "It is proper that such a proposition should be made to me; and in short I very greatly desire to be allowed to discuss the matter, if it goes any further, with Mr. Gormly personally." Haldane spoke sternly, and his wife at once subsided, as she invariably did when, he assumed that mood. Eleanor, however, was not so easily silenced. "Of course, in any event you would be consulted, father," she said firmly; "but so far as the disposition of my hand goes, that is a matter that concerns my heart, and it is one which, although I should be very glad of your counsel and your approval, I shall have to decide myself." "Quite so, quite so," said Haldane. "I have no other idea." At this moment, which threatened to grow more tense, Livingston Haldane entered the room. He was greatly perturbed and alarmed. "Father," he said abruptly, "I want to see you alone for a moment or two please!" "What has happened?" began Haldane, rising. "Why. Mr. Gormly— But I would rather see you alone." "Has he made a proposition to you for your sister's hand?" questioned Mrs. Haldane. "What!" exclaimed her son. "Eleanor," explained his mother, "has just stated that Mr. Gormly took advantage of your kindness to him the other night, after that disgraceful episode in the city hall, to make love to her in the tonneau of the car." "You don't say!" exclaimed the young man, apparently neither shocked nor surprised. "Well, he's a good one. What did you say to him, sir?" "It is very unpleasant to me to have these matters discussed in this way," answered Eleanor, her face shudhing. "As I have explained to father and mother, Mr. Gormly did me the honor to say that he cared a great deal for me. He did not ask me to be his wife, although he expressed his intention of doing so. He said that certain things had made him anticipate his purpose and state his feelings toward me now without waiting, as he had expected to do, until the end of the election." "What things?" asked young Haldane. "Things that concerned him or——" (TO BE CONTINUED) Bad Habit Broken Up This one is told on a Louisville butcher. We shall call him Bill, because that is not his name. A customer had gone into his shop to purchase a beef roast. Now, it seems that Bill used to have a most annoying habit (to the patrons) of bearing down with a heavy hand upon the scales. This high-cost-of-living thing, and all that, were bad enough in all conscience, thought some of his patrons, but one of them finally broke Bill of this trick, and now he gives full weight every time. As was stated, the customer was buying a beef roast, and Bill ally was helping out the work of the scales with one puggy flat when, before a shopful of people, the buyer said: "Take your hand off that scale, Bill. I'm buying beef, not pork." Since then no one has had to chide Bill for a similar act—Louisville Times. Monongahela Monongahela (By Helen I. Batch.)

HOME FOR AGED MINISTERS The question, what shall we do with our aged ministers, has been answered for all time by the Trustees of the Home for Aged Ministers and Laymen. These gentlemen have purchased a modern building, located in the Borough of Bellevue, and have furnished it comfortably, and supplied it with attendants whose duty it is to make the inmates feel at home and all visitors welcome. This effort which supplies a long felt want in this community should not want for a wholesome and unselfish support. If there is any one man who labors through life without compensation commensurate with his services, it is the minister. Our church organizations have not yet accumulated sufficient wealth to enable them to provide for retired and incapacitated ministers, and until they can, we must look to the institutions of the country for food and shelter for the ministers who have reached the age where their usefulness is retarded by age and infirmities. The Home for Aged Ministers and Laymen offers to the citizens of Pennsylvania the solution of the much mooted question. Already a deed has been obtained and all arrangements made for regular payments on easy terms. Our churches should consider the propriety of setting aside a fund to be used in the liquidation of the debt upon the Home. A heavy burden well distributed among many becomes light for the carrier; so will the debt upon the Home become light, if only enough of us carry our portion. We are aware that many will criticise the Home; the management thereof, and the men at the head. This is to be expected; it was always thus. We have men in our vicinity whose business it is to object to everything attempted unless they are installed president and treasurer. Then, too, reports will be circulated, intended to lessen the interest of good men in a good cause. To these reports little or no attention should be paid. If any brother has an interest in the Home, let him investigate for himself, and not hasten to unfair conclusions because of what some one may say. There reside in our midst many ministers and laymen who are worthy of support in their old age; let us see to it that we have a place, maintained by our own effort, where the deserving may be taken and cared for in their retiring years. WOODROW WILSON We see and hear a great deal about a Democratic League, composed of Negroes, who have pledged themselves to the Democratic ranks. Such political activity would give us little concern were it not for the opportunity afforded the Democratic party to elect a President in the coming fall. We suggest that the Negroes who are running after Democratic jobs in Washington and elsewhere, stop long enough to ask themselves who is Mr. Wilson. Born in Virginia, marrying into a Georgia family, and receiving his education at Princetown University is the family and educational record of Mr. Wilson. Can any Negro imagine himself doing anything under a Wilson administration except manipulating a mop, or juggling a cuspidor? Aunt Hanna from Georgia to bake the corn cake, and uncle Epps from Virginia to care for the fox hound will about constitute the Black Cabinet. Besides, the Democrats have control of the Lower House at present. So the Negroes propose to give them control of the Senate? The break-neck face with which some Negroes are heading for the Democratic party is more and than amusing. If some- thing is to be done for the benefit of the race, why not, do something by which all alike will profit. To sacrifice the whole for the benefit of the few is suicidal. Brethren, black democrats will not be in style this fall. A BANK INJUSTICE. As long as man is down, no one is interested in him; but as soon as he shows signs of climbing topwards, the enemy proceeds to crush him. The Pittsburgh Counter has not been in the field of journalism activities very long, and, of course, does not boast of having done so much as an agent devoted to the interests of its readers and friends. But we have at least done on thing we have aroused the fire of the enemy. Our white brethren in the same business paid us little or not attention when we were but an infant; but now, when we attempt to walk alone and assert ourselves, they pay us unsolicited attention. To be specific, the Carrier carries an advertisement for a white business house in Pittsburgh. Our customers are satisfied that we are bringing them profitable returns, and they so report to us. They also report to us that some white business men have complained to them and criticised them for carrying an advertisement in a Negro paper. The critic advances the idea that our customer should discontinue the advertisement carried with the Carrier. You can see, therefore, the importance of patronizing our advertisers and helping us to continue to get the good results and hold our own with our competitors. We shall not say here what course the Courier will take to adjust the matter. Our first aim is to please our customer, and the next step will be taken in Court to ascertain what rights we have in the field of fair competition. Does this kind of prejudice teach us anything JUDGE'S DECISION. A dispatch states that the leading members of the Philadelphia bar were shocked today when they read of the decision of Judge Bechtel that no ceremony is necessary to make a marriage binding in Pennsylvania, but that mutual consent is required. The common belief here is that the ruling is unconstitutional. The case in question was that of the wife of Morris Runkle, yardmaster of the Reading Railroad, who acknowledged his housekeeper, Mrs. Amanda Runkle, as his wife, although no ceremony was performed, and then later jilted her to marry Miss Freed, a pretty young school teacher. Mrs. Runkle sued him for support. Judge Bechtel made the order against the man, and the case was appealed. The International Bible Students association has declared that there is neither fire nor brimstone in Hell. What? do these fellows propose to add to the attractiveness of Hell, and thus bankrupt the puipit? A white man was elected to the presidency of Howard University. The election is reported as having been unanimous. Did all of the Negro candidates withdraw cr bolt? LOCAL NEWS Mrs. Lena Johnson of Wellsburg, W.

The family needed a pusy about, and so he laid down his gun and took a clump. What he didn't know until too late was that the animals were wild-cats. Before he could lay hold of the cats they laid hold of him, and the doctor who attended his hurts counted up 41 bites and scratches. In hunting for cats be careful that you don't get the wrong breed. If the flavor has gone out of things, if you cannot catch happiness, if you are out of tune with yourself or with your world, for the sake of everyone concerned take yourself in hand quickly.—A. K.

Sermon , It is finished.—St. John, 19:30. These are the words of the dying Redeemer. Their authorship, to gether with their context, place them among the superlatively eloquent ut terances of mankind. They are o! such character.as to leave men n¢ ground for an {nlérmediate attitude toward thelr author. Such Jesu meant they should be. They embrace the all of the question with whieh they deal The single event which they, in part, record, and the life which they ultimately’ close to all bu man vicissttude, place the last touch to the history of ancient Hebrew na Uonalism. ‘his nationality had extst ed only for this end, and when it was reached all over that explained such & government. It is true that at the time the text was spoken it was not clear to many as to just what bad been done by him who. uttered it, but intervening cen taries have proved the profound truth of the statement. The secret of these words in their impelling power over all who read and understand them is their inherent and wonderful truth. It hes tgken the world a long time to arrive’at an appreciation of the event upon which its salvation de pended. Bot Jesus knew that men would eventually learn the truth of all and then they would receive his dying estimony at {ts worth. In this be was not disappointed. Numberless multitudes now daily turn worshiptul ly toward where they believe he dwells in quest of Inspiration for the hard duties of daily life, With this they also anticipate with eolemn 109 that hour in their own Iife pilgrimage when they, by his grace, may say: “It is finished.” But such ‘emotions as Jesus must have experienced in the vast momentyof bis life may never be aurs, They were toe sublime for us and too deep. We are too prone to compare ourselves with Jesus. And yet there are times and there is 4 sense tn which we may rejoice with Bim. Let us observe some of the mean. ings of these words of Jesus, “It is finished.” he had finished an age. Back of Calvary and its tragedy there lay 4,000 years characterized by a com mon thought and a common hope and feeling. Thus was all time bound into an age. The thought was that of & world mer. The hope and the feeling ras Yhat be was coming. If manking may be said to havé, ever voiced a single faith—a divine emo tlon—it was all the way between/ Ab raham and Calvary. Prophecy, prayer and expectancy dominated the Abra hamic family, And yet nothing bed veally matured among the people. The time had simply come. The very Dresenge of Jesus closed the age. This shows how impossible it was for God to redeem the world witout the incarnation. When he, the Redeemer, came. be dominated and superseded the age. He shed light upon all that HIS FLIGHT INTO JOURNALISM. Anthony J. Deexel Biddle. the mil- Honaire sportsman of Philadelphia, who is equally at home in the drawing goom and in the prize ring, told the members of the Chicago Athletic asso- elation the other evening of his early experience in journalism, “Ag a youth my great ambition was to be a reporter, he sald, so I went to my uncle, George W. Childs Drexel, who was ‘editing tthe. Public Ledger. He gave me a place on the local staff, and the city editor assigned me to a district in wyich the city morgue was located. On the first day of my soe ment the body of a man-was found in the Delaware river and brought to the morgue. Scenting a possible murder mystery and seeing alsg, an opportu. nity to gain journalistic fame in a single day, I hastened to the office and wrote a thrilligg story, which was largely imagination. In concluding I we a graphic description of the, sup posed victim, saying that ‘the man was attired in a black mustache and clothes of the same material.’ “My wonderful story filled about ten Mnes of the next day's paper, aad I re ceived a summons to my uncle's office. ‘Teny,’ he said, ‘I can get you a place on this paper, but I cannot keep it fer you" “My journalistic ambitions ended then and thhie,* The Sco of Woman.

He who, becagse of his persomality, domtuates and crewns a century of human his tory writes his name too high for dis placement. But Jesus in his dying ‘wrested sll bistory from its course and gave it anew meaning and a new name, the name of Christ. Again, Jesus finished a @ispensation. One-half of all recorded time had been filled with signs and symbols and types of the Son of God. The temple, the altar, the sacrifice, the bloo# the high priest, the prophet and the king had each typified the Redeemer. Bach sign and symbol, each ordinance and sacred sentiment, he united and ful filled in his great personality. Thus it was that he finished a dispensafion. Again, Jesus finished his work—his own individual and personal work. He ever bad infinite concern - about this, He regarded that a specific task had been givéa him to 6. ‘This em phasized Ms sense of personal obliga: tion. . He utterly refused to permit any part of his work to go by default. Such a thought would have crushed Bim. A, sublime command of duty strengthened him to the very end. But when he had lald the last stroke to his work and had uttered’ his last cry over ft he died! There was some thing very divine about all this, but the divinest thing about it all was that be finished bis life. He finished the age; he closet the symbolic dis pensation; he completed ‘bis work; Dut the greatest persanal acomplish- ment of all was that he perfected his ite. In all this he finished God's plan of redeeming the-human race. Who will say there was not Joy in such a dy- ing Dour, despite its anguish and pain? How shall we profit by this example ot herote service? By learning that nothing 1s done until all te done: by learning that pothing satisfies untl! the soul rests in the consclousness of @uty performed; to leave no ground for one to say when we are gone that work and life were slighted by us. Then men should bind thé whole of duty to their hearts as a thing too much of thelr yery lives to be sep arated for moment ffom them. Jesus {s our great exemplar. When he died. there remained nothing io the earth for bim to do as a mere man. He hed left no step untrod that duty required; not = word had been withheld to which the world’ had & right; not a tear was unshed that was needed to make ur soll more hallowed; there had not been a breath too few! The golden, perfect, super lative record Had been made. Men nor angels nor God could ask that something be added. He thus taught us how to live. But-what will have been done when the reader comes to the end of his earthly way? Will {t be merely that the time ts out, or that time and work and life have con- summated ‘together? No man’s work fe done until bis time {a out, and no man’s life fe complete until bis work f done, It should then be the pas sionate prayer and the diligent effort of us all to’see that these three end together #0 that we may rise without fear to greet him who gave usa life to live and a work to'do.

His.claim fs that this form of fertilizer 1s hegvy in nitrogen and forces the tree rapidly in growth. The roots having plenty of food readily available are not encouraged to spread in proportion to the tree growth, with the result that the tree develops a small root system, and when the tree 1s no longer manured the root system 1s too amall to proper- ly nourish the tree anf matere’s crop of fruit.

BLACK BREAD OF GUETERSLOH How Biamarck Started Craze for Westphalian Pumpernickel and Made Fortune of Bakers. Gueterslion was a town of some fifteen hundred inhabitants some eighty years ago when, one day during the maneuvers, a young Leutenant took up his quarters there. This leutenant came from Pomerania, where they also make black bread of fine quality, but he liked better the peculiar flavor of the Westphalia article. His name was Biamarck. In the year 1870 Biamarck was again being through Gueterslion, this time as chancellor. King William was with him. When the train stopped the prime minister called out genially to the crowd that had come to meet them: "Is there any one who can get us some pumpernickel with butter?" As a number of reporters were present when this query was made the fortune of the Gueterslösh black bread was made, and it speedily became the fashion all over Germany. The craze for Westphallian pumpernickel spread far and wide, cunningly furthered by the bakers who now baked for export only small one-pound loaves, for the purpose of making it look "more like a delicatessen" as they did from the bakers. The bakers of Gueterslöh were the first to import from the same bakergrounds there go into the first the huge loaves of torture that go to the farmhouses often remaining half a hundredweight) and shaped of what is like the tiny leaves that are wrapped in paper and exported to all parts of the world to be sold at a delicatessen. Heredity. Some very pretty things are being said, for no special reason whatever, about geneology and heredity. Naturally this is associated with the names and life of what is called the "mobility." Yet no commentator has quoted the couple of Pope, which reads rawly that "His ancient but ignoble blood has crept through soundreels ever since the flood." Self-Confidence "Self-confidence is not egotism. It is knowledge, and it comes from the consciousness of possessing the ability requisite for what one undertakes. Civilization today rests upon self-confidence." -Orison Swett Marden. PITTABURGH COURIER THE NEGRD CHURCH THE NEGRD CHURCH (From The Crisis.) It happens that during this month in the north, in the west and south there are meetings the ruling Methodist ecclesiastical bodies representing a membership of 1,175,000 colored Americans. Later, in midsummer, the Baptist conventions, which represent 2,300,000 members, will meet. There three and a half million of people represent the great middle class of colored Americans. The lowest class have never been reached; the highest class of the educated and thoughtful are being gradually loot. The great middle mass remains, and in 25,000 churches holding $75,000,000 worth of property they form a peculiar organized government of men. Under some fifty powerful leaders and thirty thou沙 sandalized local preachers they raise and expend over seven millions of dollars a year. Before such an organization one must bow his respect. It has accomplished much. It has instilled and conserved morals, it has helped family life, it has taught and developed ability and given the colored man his best business training. It has planted in every city and town of the Union, with few exceptions, meeting places for colored folk which vary from shelters to luxurious and beautiful edifices. Notwithstanding this, all is not well with the colored church. First, fifty leaders are in too many cases not the men they should be. This is not peculiar to the negro church, but it is true to a larger degree than is hearkful. We can point to our minded, efficient, faithful, prelated late Bishop Palne, the present Bishop Lee and J. W. White. We have men of scholarship and stands like Bishop J. Albert Johnson, and we have efficient men of affairs like John F. Hurst, M. C. P. Mason and R. H. Boyd. The trouble is, however, this: There are too few such, men. The path and the higher planes are choked with pretentious ill-trained men and in far too many cases with men disqualify and otherwise immoral. Such men make the way of upright and business candidates for the power extremely difficult. They put an undue premium upon nessey and personal influence. Having thus a partially tainted leadership, small wonder that the 30,000 colored ministers will as a far below the expectation. Are among them the writing business men, eloquent talkers, savve comedians, hale fellows, but only here and there does one meet men like Henry L. Phillips of Philadelphia —burning spiritual guides of a troubled, patting people, utterly self-forgetful, utterly devoted to a great ideal of righteousness. Yet this is precisely the type for which the church—the white church as well as the black church—is crying. This is the only type witch will hold thoughtful, reasonable men to membership with this organization. Today the tendencies are not this way. Today the church is still invigilating against dancing and theatering, still blaming educated people for objecting to silly and empty sermons, boasting and noise, still building churches when people need homes and schools, and persisting in crucifix critics rather than realizing the handwriting on the wall. Let us trust that these great churches in conference, remembering the leaders of the past and conscious of all that the church has done well, will set their faces to these demands and leaders only men of honesty, probity and efficiency and rejecting the nolay and unclean leaders of the thoughtless mob. 2. Weeding out the ministry so as to increase the clean apostles of service and sacrifice. 1. Initiating positive programs of education and social uplift and discouraging extravagant building and mere ostentation. 2. Bending every effort to make the negro church a place where colored men and women of education and enlightenment are guarded of their belief or disbelief in unimportant dogmas and ancient and outworn creeds. MADE ALFALFA GROW. "It won't grow here because it can't get its roots down to water," said every one, and "water" was in the creeks at the base of the hill 150 feet high. The acre sloped gently to the eask and was in oats, following a crop of about seventy-five bushels of corn per acre. The oats were cut and removed about July 10, stubble mowed and turned, and then disked four times. Once a week until August, the land was raked, rolled and plank dragged. August 19 we went to the schoolhouse yard, where a crop of clover grew, and got ten bushels of the top soil, mixed it with a wagon box full of manure and scattered it over the acre, harrowing it in well. On the morning of August 20 we sowed ten pounds of alfalfa seed north south and cross sowed ten pounds and west; then we put a boy on a horse, hitched the horse to a six inch burrow set the horse in the burrow. POTASH FOR THE GARDEN Some vegetables and fruits. It is said, seem to thrive host on murkage of potash. Others give better yields when treated with sulphate of potash. Even the garden vegetables seem to have their preference, according to recent tests at the Malus experiment station. Sodium sulphate with murtage of potash white nuts, cauliflower and asparagus give heavier crops, with sulphate Orchard fruits, as a rule, seem to prefer sulphate. The National Baptist Sunday School Congress, Dr. C. H. Clark of Nashville, Tennessee, president, and Mr. Henry Allen-Boyd, secretary, hold its seventh annual meeting at Tuskegee Institute beginning Wednesday, June 5, and closed the following Sunday night. When the special trains from Nashville, Tennessee, Montgomery and Salma, Alabama, reached the Institute depot Wednesday morning, the distinguished parties were greeted by Principal Washington, members of the Executive Council, teachers, the Institute Band, a very largest number of students and prominent citizens of the community, Dr. Nathaniel H. Pins on a trained chorus, and superintendents, teachers and pupils of three Baptist Sunday schools of the neighborhood, carrying banners, streamers and flags. The meeting was most capital A procession was quickly formed, and led by the band, marched directly to the Institute Chapel, where President Clark called the Congress to order and the seventh annual meeting was opened for business. Prominent among those who addressed the Congress were Mr. W. W. Campbell of Tukegee, president of the Mason County Bank, who delivered the address of welcome in behalf of the white citizens of Tukegee and the white Baptists of Alabama; Principal Booker T. Washington, who delivered the address of welcome in behalf of the Institute; Rev. W. H. Moses, D. D., who made the magnificent response in behalf of the Congress, who was followed by Prof. J. W. Bell of Earlington, Kentucke whose short address was gom. Dr. Hemer C. Lyman of Hamilton New York, Superintendent of Teacher Education in Negro Colleges of the United States, representing the International Sunday School Association with headquarters at Chicago; Dr. Sutton E. Griggs of Nashville, Tennessee, representing the Educational Board, and Mrs. Booker T. Washington, introduced by Prof. R. B. Hudson, as the first colored lady of the land; Dr. H. Bowling, D. D., of Virginia, who delivered the principal address of the Congress, reviewing in words of eloquence the work of the present session, and paying a high compliment to the Principal of Tukegee Institute and the work he is for the race, and Dr. H. Meyar of New York, Secretary of the Sunday School School of Evangelical Denominations in the United States who delivered a very helpful address on "Looking Forward," stating among other things that the best organized and equipped Sunday school of today shows what the average Sunday school will be in the near future. Continuing, Dr. Drury said: "I have been profoundly impressed during my attendance at the sessions of the National Baptist Sunday School Congress by the higher ideas, splendid achievements and efficient leadership which the Sunday School work of the National Baptist fellowship represents. The place of meeting Congress this year is fortunate. Tukegee Institute stands before the American people as the one monumental object lesson of what industry, patience and state-statemanlike leadership can do in a strategic situation. It also appeals to me as the greatest practical demonstration I have yet seen of the possibilities of industrial progress among the Negro race." Principal Washington was enthusi- matically received by the Congress. He spoke of the ten millions of Negroes in this country, 82 per cent of whom live in the rural districts and are engaged in agricultural pursuits. These teeming millions may be comparatively ignorant, but they are not degraded; they are worth saving. The organisation that will reach out and take hold of these people in the rural districts, said Dr. Washington, and left them to a higher plane of Christian civilisation is the organization that shall live and grow and all the paper read before the Congress showed careful study and some of them showed thorough scholarship and deep insight into the concrete work of the organization. The personnel of the Congress was inspiring. Real workers were in attendance. There was a conspicuous absence of pyrotechnic oratory, except an occasional rocket. No time was lost in fulsome praise of mediocrity. It was neither a mutual admiration gathering nor an amateur debating society. It was an assemblage of Christian workers, doing constructive work, solving some of the problems affecting the future of the race. Dr. R. H. Boyd, of the National Baptist Publishing Board, Nashville, supported and surrounded by his "Cahnet" in the conduct of that great enterprise, a dominating personality in all the deliberations of the Congress. Delegates from the national section of the country. The departing meetings were especially helpful and instructive. The parade of the Institute Battalion, the young women here during the summer, the officers and members of the Congress, local Sunday School organizations, and church workers Sunday afternoon, headed by the Institute Band, was an inspiring sight. The Alabama Penny Savings Bank has been selected as the depository of the funds of the A. M. E. Zion church, which means that the headquarters of that great religious body will be transferred from Philadelphia to Birmingham and the money hitherto manipulated by white men will be under the management and control of colored men. With a race, like as with an individual, success depends in the largest possible sense on its own rightly steered efforts. Outside infiltrations are adjective aid, but the real work that must count for the most in the greatness of its destiny must be done by its own directive energies. There is no flouting the truth that a race, like an individual, is the architect of its own destiny. If some men were to divest themselves of their prejudices they would appear unclothed.

Ananias Munchausen, "about the finest bit of sprintin' I ever saw was up in Scotland the shootin' season before last. I'd been out all day deer- shootin', and had had most pawful luck when I spiced a whippin' great buck about eighteen hundred yards. Takin a careful sight I let away. But touched him, the instant my bullet touched him, and before it had time to penetrate his hide, that beast was of like a fash! "I never saw two such evenly matched things as that deer and my bullet. For over half a mile they sped on together, neither gainin' on the other, the bullet just managein' to keep in touch with the deer's skin. At the end of a mile, however, the pace began to toll on the deer, and the faltered just for a moment. Twice fail'. The bullet sped off and the pear beast keeled over. He deserved his freedom if ever an animal did. He have got it too, if he could have cut out for another twenty year, for that's about as far as my ride carries." A. Bengar's Luggage When Bridget Flanigan, who described herself as "a poor lone Irish widow gwoman," was arrested for begging at Wells she had the following articles distributed about her person: Tea, sugar, fresh cut bread and饼 of bacon, bread and饼 of cheese, bread and饼 four bunn, bag of biscuits, fagged, two apples, onions, two clay pipes, tobacco, cigarettes and snuff—London Evening Standard. English Snobbery. Many will open their purses to a society which has a counter for a patron, but will not help the poor neighbor next door—London Mall. PAUL THOMPSON PHOTO Pitcher Groom of Washington. There was a time when Washington would have been satisfied with sixth, and hilariously happy at the thought of fifth place. Now it's worth one's life ever to talk cheerfully and as one satisfied to the possibility of a piece first division team. It's pennant or nothing. The fans have it all figured how the flag is to be landed, and even Manager Griffith thinks he has a chance, if he can land a couple of experienced pitchers to help out Johnson, Groom and Hughes. Already he has bought Barney Pelty, and it is said that he has put in a bid for George Mullin, on whom Detroit has asked walers. Right now pitching is the only thing over which Griffith feels apprehensive. Right now Pitcher Groom is in rare form. Boston Red Sox Have Fastest and Strongest Outfield in the American League. Taken collectively and considering every point of the pastime, the Boston Red Sox boast of the greatest outfield parading in the major leagues, in Left Fielder Lewis, Center Fielder Speaker and Right Fielder Hooper. Other teams in both leagues have their bright stars, but none can claim a trio that measures quite so high as that that looks after the Red Sox's gardens. Lewis, Speaker and Hooper can do all that is necessary on the dia- 80 Right Fielder Hooper. mond. Each can throw like a shot, their arms being feared by all the base runners; each can field, covering the territory coming in, going back or hopping to his right or left; and as hitters they are supreme. At present Speaker leads the American league's swat colony and Lewis, and Hooper are up with the leaders as batters and run-getters. Gets Lot of Credit. Jack Ryan, the veteran catcher who is acting as coach for the young pitchers on the Washington team, and also making a few scouting trips for Griffith, is given a lot of credit for the present grand showing of the Washington team. Manager Griffith deserves the major portion of it, however. New Texas-Oklahoma Officers. At a meeting of the Texas-Oklahoma Baseball league, at which all towns were represented except Wichita Falls, President P. B. Newcomb and Secretary E. E. Barclay resigned. H. L. Warren and R. A. Athens, both of Greenville. Tex., were elected president and secretary, respectively. * Grayson Denies Yarn. Willie Grayson of Louisville says there is nothing in the story that W. H. Watkins will acquire an interest in the club or that Jimmy Burke will succeed Tighe as manager. Watkins himself says he intends to leave the game for good. For Curving a Ball. A New York genius has invented a section cup arrangement for pitchers to wear on their fingers, which he says will curve a ball. The greatest need of pitchers, however, is not a curver but a controller. Johnson and Walsh In Race. Walter Johnson and Ed Walsh, two of the "iron men" of the American league, are having a grizzly race this season. Johnson excels in aerial bats games, having pitched two 8-hit one bats, three 4-hit and one 5-hit games. EIGHT Gets Lot of Credit. chance, if he can land a couple of experienced pitchers to help out Johnson, Groom and Hughes. Already he has bought Barney Pelty, and it is said that he has put in a bid for George Mullin, on whom Detroit has asked waivers. Right now pitching is the only thing over which Griffith feels apprehensive. Right now Pitcher Groom is in rare form. NOTES of the DIAMOND Bloomington released Moxey Manuel, former White Sox pitcher. Rube Benton has defeated every club in the National league at least once. Charles Sterret, the Princeton catcher and this year's captain, has signed to play with the Yankees. Jerry Downs is a pretty valuable utility man. He is another Heine Zimmerman, and that's saying something. Otey Crandall is certainly the handy man of the Giants. The outfield, the infield and the pitcher's box all look alike to him. O'Day says that the Reds are as good as the Giants, except for slabmen. It may be. But that's a whale of an exception. Pitcher Withers of the Kansas City club was released by Manager Carr. to the Grand Rapids (Mich.) club of the Central league. George Burns, the Giants recruit, began as a catcher, and says that any time all of the backstops are injured he will go behind the bat. Many baseball men are of the opinion that Leon Ames would work better if worked oftener. When in form he has few superiors as a pitcher. Pitcher Ashenfeltler has been recalled from Springfield by Indianapolis. He was the leading southpaw of the Springfield club and noted for als control. George Teebau has had a couple of major league offers within the last week for "Red" Corridon, his shortstop. Teebau will not part with him at present. Tris Speaker is certainly out for leading honors in batting this year. He went the entire baseball menu in a recent game at St. Louis, when he got a single, double, triple and a homer. ONE MISTAKE BY HANK O'DAY Did Not See Bunt Fly Caught by Frank Dwyer in Game Between Cincinnati and Baltimore. Reference has been made, says the New York Sun, to the fact that Umpire Carpenter is now in the twelfth year of service with the Southern League. Hank O'Day umpired fifteen years for the National League and continuously. Bob Emslie has been a National League umpire still longer. Approx of O'Day, his success as a manager this year makes him the most popular and revered man in Cincinnati, but he hasn't always been so regarded there. Soon after Hank began umpiring in the National League he was officiating in a Baltimore-Cincinnati game. Frank Dwyer was pitching and an Orloe bunted the ball. Hank made tracks for first base, thinking there would be a play there, but Dwyer caught the bunt on the fly. Hank didn't see that, and he called the batter safe at first base. Up to a short while ago they were still harping on that mistake of O'Day's in Cincinnati, however there was a better umpire than O'Day and a few boots can be forgiven him. Fire for Smearing Ball. President Lynch has promised to plaster such a fine on the next man who puts off turpentine, liliment, pepper or anything else on the ball that he will be all summer paying it. He says he is tired of the poor sportsmanship of the players who have it in for the spitball pitchers. New Umpire Appointed. President Baum of the Pacific Coast league has appointed Jack McCarthy of San Francisco as ampire in place of Sam Martes, resigned. POLITE GAME OF BASEBALL Old Baltimore and Boston Teams Tried to Play Courteous Game— Agreement Soon Forgotten. "You can try to refine and civilize baseball all you want," remarked Joe Kelley, the present Toronto manager who was once an Oriole star, "and you can make a parlor game out of it by giving the umpires power of life and death, but you can't kill off the players' tongues unless you stun 'em with an ax. Baseball can be made a gentle- manly game, all right, but you can't get the Lord Chesterfield stuff into it, no matter how much the writers and magnates talk about its progress toward perfection. Nothing doing. The public can't hear the line of talk that still goes on, and it's just as well the public is out of rubbering range. "Years and years ago, I well remember, two ball clubs tried to 'pull a polite and courteous ball game, just to see how the thing would work. The old Baltimores and the old Bostonns—which were real ball clubs, both of them, held a conference one afternoon. There had been a lot of talk and newspaper criticism about roughhouse work and bad language, and we wanted to show press and public that we could be good, decent people, after all. We agreed to try out the polished conversation and the golden rule stuff for this one occasion, and Tim Hurst, who was slated to umpire, agreed to help the good work along. It would be some conversion, too, believe me, if we could get Tim Hurst into the parlor process for Tim was never built for cottont lines. "The first half inning went by something lovely. Even when Tim called a strike on Tom McCarthy that was a foot over his head, there was no outbreak. Says Tom, very gently, 'Wan't that ball a trifle high, Mr. Umpire?' and says, Tim, all courtesy, 'I fear I may have erred in judgment, Mr. McCarthy. Kindly overlook it, if you will.' And in our half, when Jack Doyle went down to second in a cloud of dust, and Tim said 'Out', Jack jumped up, red in the face, yelled 'What the —' and caught himself in time. 'Pardon me,' says Jack, 'but I honestly thought that that. Long failed to touch me!' And says Herman 'Long, equally polite, I am under the impression that I did touch Mr. Doyle.' Just as nice and Chesterfieldish 'as you could read in a book of etiquette. "And in the very next inning the blow-off came.Three on and two gone, with Hughey Jennings batting. Reltz made a dash for home on what he thought was a passed ball. The Boston catcher recovered it, but as he dove for the putout Jennings wandered against him and knocked him ten feet away. 'Out for the interference!' yelled Hurst—and the everybody arrived at the plate in a bunch. "You Irish lofer,' shrieked Reltz, 'what am I out for?' You red-headed stuff,' roared the Boston catcher at Jen- NY John McGraw. nings, I oughta knock yer block off, an' for two cents I do it!' "You're a piece of stinking cheese,' snarled Jennings, 'and this hum umpire is a porch-climbing robber!' "Per Moses' sakes remember,' I interposed, that this is supposed to be a polite and courteous game, just to show how well we can behave—' And somebody hit me across the map with a catching cove. "I can click every wan av yez, howeve Tim Hurst, and I'll do it, too, if you're not back in yer places inside av half a minute!" "You're a cheap crook,' said John McGraw. "You're all a bunch of yellow dogs,' said Harman Long, addressing the whole Baltimore team, sort of imper- "And when the police arrived the rules of etiquette had been fractured so badly I never heard of their being reinstated. That was, I think, the first, last and only time that a courteous ball game was staged in a big league company." Delahanty With Wilkesbarre. Wilkesbarre has picked up Outfielder Joe Delahanty to replace Homer Smoot in right field. Delahanty played last year with Toronto, but this season has been playing in the United States' league. Hallman has returned to his home in the west. He is through with baseball and went to Wilkesbarre just to help Clymer out in the hour of need. Six New Leaders. The appointment of George Sorrell as manager of the St. Louis Browns leaves the American league running with six new leaders. Jennings and Mack are the only managers who hold over, now that Wallace has been passed along. PITTSBURGH COURIER Youngstown, O. (Br Wm Saunders.) (By Wm. Saunders.)
