THE PITTSBURGH COURIER LEAGUE RENEWS FIGHT AGAINST JIMCROWISM CIRCULATION BOOKS ARE OPEN TO ADVERTISERS VOL. III. NO. 31. LEAGUE REN AGAINST National Independent Political League Selects No Candidate—Causes Surprise Philadelphia—The fifth annual meeting of the National Independent Political league was held in this city the first week in July. President John R. Clifford presided and was again chosen president of the organization. The sessions of the league were held in the Zion Baptist children, of which the Rev. Edward W. Moore is pastor. Judging from the earnestness of the speakers and the field workers who have studied the political situation very closely as it relates to the two great national parties, the influence of the league is going to be felt in no uncertain way in the coming national political campaign. The situation in so far as the action of the league at this meeting is concerned involves much speculation because of the fact that, contrary to expectations, the organization failed to go on record as favoring either of the presidential candidates chosen by the Republican and Democratic parties. The election of officers resulted as follows: President, John R. Clifford, Martinburg, W. Va.; vice presidents, Rev. J. H. Wiley of Rhode Island, W. D. Johnson of Massachusetts, Rev. W. H. Jeongnam of Qijian man, J. M. Sumers and J. G. Hirrell, corresponding secretary, Abel P. Caldwell, treasurer, J. Jones, recording secretary, J. L. REV. DR. E. W. MOORE Neill; organizer, Rev. J. E. Churchman, and sergeant-at-arms, John Clinton, Jr. The report of the committee on resolutions as adopted is as follows: We, the National Independent Political League, in fifth annual session assembled in this city, where the Declaration of American independence was signed on Independence day, one hundred and thirty years ago, organized in the same city where this independent league was organized four years ago to preserve liberty and equality for colored Americans by the enforcement of the constitution, declare to our native country our fealty to the tenets of that first great independence, and spirit to our own first declaration of independence from political party slavery rest out at our birth. And we form our position as there stalked against every terrorist to our rights and against opposing them with our bullets as a weapon of self defense under the motto "For Men and Measures Rather Than Party." We continue to instruct upon full manhood, political rights and equal civil rights and absolute equality of opportunities for all, and we declare the recordless of race or color. We will be satisfied with no compromise. "We continue to oppose color prejudice, especially as manifested in color segregation in places of public assembly, accommodations and the deference of American and Indian leaders to a stigma upon colored citizens such as no other civilized country puts upon its own citizens. We demand that congress pass a law forbidding the exclusion of any interstate passenger from any public carriage or race or color or to aggregate therein. The Paper That Promotes Progress COLORED WOMAN, ONCE A SLAVE LEAVES $6,000 Two Homes, Church and Cemetery Get Bequests Middletown, Conn.-By the will of Catherine Simons, a colored woman who spent most of her life as a cook, several Boston institutions are to receive bequests from her estate of $6,000. The will leaves $500 to St. Monica's Home for Sick Colored Women and Children of Boston; $500 to the Church of the Holy Trinity, the largest Episcopal church in this city. There are small bequests—$500 to the Home for Aged Colored Women in Boston, $500 to St. Augustine's church, Boston, $500 to Woodland cemetery in Everett, Mass, and to relatives. The residue is left in trust with ex-Governor Frank B. Weeks of this city, the income to be devoted to charitable purposes at his discretion. Miss Simons in her early days was a slave. She worked as a domestic for many years in the homes of Middletown families. In Boston she was cared for during her last days by friends. She did much for the poor of her race. Distant relatives are making a contest on the ground that she was of unsound mind.

Mrs. Earley Moore, Mrs. Martha Wilby, Mann Patricia will go over to Washington Sunday to the conference. and education for all, regardless of color, with a genuine raising of teachers and members of school boards as of October. We referee our appreciation of the worth and work of ex-Senator Joseph Benson Foraker as expression in our first declaration of independence. We thank and commend such men as ex-Senator Joseph Benson Foraker as a political death in the hand of President Poseyett battling for a square deal for the colored soldiers in the Brownville discharge without trial, the blackest crime in the annuals of our army, and here demand our position that the divers们 have not yet justice at the hands of Theodore Rosepelt, President Taft or congress. We demand that congress pass the Poseyett soldier bill and pledge our rights to the divers们 in our involvement in lynching of soldiers until he reverses his position. We declare in consistency with our first declaration our opposition to those condemned therein and that until they re-enter the country we must not vote for the votes of self-respecting colored men. We comment the native people of the Philippines for their stand for the independence of their country and in conformity with our great Declaration of Independence for our country to grant their independence which our republic enjoys. We commend the colored Cuban patrons for their many resistance against a de-gradation of their color presides in this grown there by the Indian government to the United States. We call upon congress to prevent the sending of United States warships to Cuba to interfere and assist these Cubans fighting for their rights and in the finaliment to car republic. Inasmuch as the failure of certain states to provide adequate school facilities is well known, we demand that congress pass a law for federal and state education along the lines that greatpatron Ion Henry W. Bierer We advise the colored man of this country to agitate against all injustices and to use their race as a weapon of self defense and equality, by voting for the benefit of any party, but for the benefit of their race, punishing the recipients and beneficiaries of their votes who when voting them out and ever seeking by bribes to weaken or diminish the hostility of their avowed enemies. We desire to ally ourselves with all those who are fighting for equal rights and opportunities in this world. We realize that we have condemned many in these distractions. If we have not done so from malice, but of recessions in the desperate resistance to the war, we should thank Senator W. M. Clinton for his stand for justice for the Black hostility and favorable resolution of the Moody-Pillow anti-bitching bill and the constant loyalty associated to the Moody-Pillow. Elsewhere, national confidence for settling the Republican platform Committee for this anti-bitching bill and commend the president for his appointment of Judge Pitney andBonaportion of Judge Hook on request of Mr. Chipin, the last presidential candidate of the National Prohibition party for his rescue of a colored man out of the hands of a lynching mob and appeal to all citizens to be needed to bring justice and equality for all in this land of our fathers. PROGRESS MADE THROUGH CAREFUL HOME TRAINING Parents Are Beginning To Pay Greater Attention To Their Children's Wellfare THE SHAPING OF YOUNG LIVES By CLEVELAND G. ALLEN. New York.—One of the most hopeful signs of the substantial progress which the race is making may be seen in the advance that is being made in the home. More and more parents are beginning to pay greater attention to the home and the training of their children along lines of usefulness and right living. This being done, they will get out of their young lives all of the beauty and charm of a well regulated home. As long as parents put the proper estimate upon the home and the setting before the children of the proper examples of right and useful living greater will be the advance of the race. One of the most helpful organizations in this section, which is welding wide FLORETTA TAYLOR. influence in the training of the young, is the Mothers' club of Brooklyn, of which Mrs. N. B. Dodson is president. These beautiful, consecrated and earnest Christian young mothers are benefiting the home and making it the center of influence from which the lives of the young are being shaped. A striking example of what careful home training will accomplish in the lives of children is seen in little Loretta Taylor, the three-year-old daughter of Mrs. James M. Taylor of 214 West Fifty-third street, New York. She is an unusually bright child and has shown rare gifts in music. She is especially gifted as a singer and has the remarkable ability of almost repeating a song when first heard. She is highly intelligent and interesting and formalizes a striking example of the influence that mothers have upon their children. This remarkable child has a bright future and will grow up to add honor to the womanhood of the race.

I could forget, for your dear sake, The utter emptiness, and ache Of every loss I ever knew.~ What could I not forget for you?

A COLORED BOARD OF TRADE WIELDS POWER REV. W. W. BECKETT MADE NEW PRESIDENT His Election Meets the Hearty Approval of Ministers Manning, S. C.—The new president of Alfen university is the Rev. W. W. Beckett, D. D., former secretary of missions of the A. M. E. church. Dr. Beckett was elected to this position by the board of trisectes at its annual session. His election meets the hearty approval of laymen and ministers everywhere. In the race for this position were four other prominent and well known candidates. They were the Rev. R. W. Mance, presiding elder of the Beaufort district; the Rev. D. T. McDaniel of Spartansburg, one of the first college graduates of the school; the Rev. Sandy Simmons, D. D., presiding elder of the Georgetown district, an alumnus of the University of Michigan, and the Rev. J. E. Beard, an alumnus of the Georgia State University for Negroes. Dr. Beckett's election was made unanimous after the first ballot, the other candidates withdrawing in his favor. The concensus of opinion among the leaders of the church is that the administration of Dr. Beckett will be fruitful and that all forces in the state will be coupled for successful work. The Allen university is the pride of the negro people in South Carolina and is doing a great work. Connected with it is a board of 100 trustees, among whom are some of the many great preachers, school men and most substantial citizens of the state. The trustee's annual fee is $5 each. The school is conducted by church funds. Dr. Beckett being a man well known and popular with the masses throughout the United States, it is believed that his election will be the means of bringing additional funds to the school. He is an eloquent speaker, a man of great personality. Bishop H. M. Turner of Atlanta presided at the recent meeting. Bishop Turner has been recently appointed to South Carolina and was elected chancellor of Allen university. He gave 100 books to the library of Allen, and is laying plans for the erection of another building on the campus. RACE DISCRIMINATION AT THE HIPPODROME We canifot believe Harry Davis, who was born on the North Side, played with colored lads and surrounded by Christian influence and took an active interest in religious meetings when young in the old Fourth ward, would be a party to the discrimination we understand is being made at the Hippodrome performances which is being held nightly at Forbes Field by Jim crowing the colored people into certain sections of the grand stand. • We want Harry Davis to understand there are good and bad, among the colored race as any other race, but the self-respecting colored man or woman is entitled to some consideration and respect shown to their race of the same canteen. The stoner Harry Davis and his hikers are made to thoroughly understand by making a thoroughly test in the courts even going to the Supreme Court if necessary to see what right the self-respecting citizens have in the country the better for us. Stand up and fight for your right everywhere on the stage. No race on the face of the earth ever gives justice without fighting for it, and we should not expect to contain it without making an aggressive and united stand for fair play. YOUR LOYAL SUPPORT! We want our readers to understand your work is not Jim Crowed in this paper and all papers in this paper belong to you. We are publishing a paper that is a credit to the colored people of Pittsburgh and deserve your support. If you have any suggestions to make to improve its value, you'd be pleased to hear from you. Our mission is to serve you and give you a paper of your own that will be an agency in the uplift of the Race. We can only do this by your help in cooperation. Attention Agents Do you know advertisements are the life of any newspaper, if you have any of our people in business in your town see them at once and any of the white merchants that have trade with our people should patronize this paper. We have the readers. What more should an advertiser desire? Get busy. —(Manager.) THE PAPER THAT REACHES THE HOME FIVE CENTS A COPY BOARD OF HELDS POWER New Organization in Nashville Proves Its Worth—Guided By Business Men Nashville, Tenn.—The most constructive and important organization to be found in any community among the colored people is the Nashville Negro board of trade, which has only been in existence since March, 1912. The organization has within its membership most all of the important business, professional and industrial men of the community, and, besides performing the usual functions of a board of trade, it co-operates with the Nashville board of trade and other commercial organizations in matters affecting the welfare of the people of the city. During its short existence it has been instrumental in doing certain things that more than justify its title. It is really the vanguard of organizations in the south among our people that point the way to an amicable adjustment of differences and that get things for the race from the powers that be. The board of trade here occupies the commanding position in the eyes of the people, and for the most part its mandates have the force of law with the people. Its leaders and officials are called into counsel on all matters that affect the colored people, and it keeps regularly employed a young man who acts as executive secretary and looks after its interests, which are the interests of the colored people. What the Board Has Accomplished. The Negro board of trade is regarded in all respects as an auxiliary of the Nashville board of trade and, has by co-operation with the white organization been able to secure a city park for colored people which cost $18,000 unimproved. It has assisted in the "city beautiful movement" to the extent of cleaning up waste places in communities and planting flowers and trees. It has aided in the sanitary improvement of localities and now has in charge the matter of raising funds for a library site. This latter proposition is purely voluntary on the part of the board of trade. The city has expressed itself as willing to provide a library site and appropriate $2,500 annually for its maintenance. This was in accordance with the conditions made by Andrew Carnegie, who has signified his willingness to give $2,500 for a library for the colored people of this city. The Nashville board of trade has taken upon itself the task of raising $1,000 from among our people in this city with which a suitable site will be purchased. In all these activities the Negro board of trade has the active leadership of Dr. R. F. Boyd, president, who is also president of the People's Bank and Trust company. Mr. D. Wellington Berry serves as secretary and looks after all the details of the organization. Vartogs matters are attended to by division committees, the executive committee being headed by A. N. Johnson. Other officials are A. S. Rucker, vice president, and I. L. Moore, treasurer. I've read the nation's histories By different authors wrought. I've searched in vain, for tales. Of heroes dark I sought. There is no page or book That we records a deed. Of valiant colored men. Though dark of skin and creed. Why blight these nobles, dead? Record their va or now. Within me anger burns. And fushes high my brow. —Frederich Douglass. North Side, Pittsburgh.

Out at Fornes Field, commonly known as the Million Dollar Lot of Barney Dreyfus, the Harry Davis Company, a local theater enterprise, holds nightly exhibitions during the summer months. To these exhibitions go thousands of people every evening to see the performances at the reasonably low prices. In the day, this same park is the mecca for all baseball fans who rub shoulders and make the wekin ring with their blended shouts while the home team scores the winning run. In the day, no difference is made at the ticket office; every man with the price is admitted to the seat purchased. But at night, when the appodrome is the attraction, Negroes are jim crowed into one section of the grand stand. The low price is an inducement, and our people hurry out to see the show, only to be crushed in spirit, and embarrassed by the ticket sellers who obey the orders of Harry Davis Co. or the management. This kind of rank, hell-born prejudice is being cultivated quite extensively by the owner of the Grand. This same Harry Davis Company practice this prejudice in all of the theaters they manage or own. They segregate all Negroes who are admitted into some corner of the theater where seeing and hearing are at a disadvantage. Now they have introduced their contemptible practice at Forbes Field. In a short while they will be leasing street cars for the purpose of segregating the passengers. Such men as these have no limit to their narrow, contracted principle. It Forbes Field is as large as reports would have the public believe, there is ample room for every body who attends the Hippodrome to get a seat separate and apart from any one else, and thus relieve the management of the fear that white and colored will be seated within touching distance. It does seem that these people take the initiative in all that affects the races in this city; and in every instance they magnify the prejudicial situation by calling attention to things which would pass for very little, it left unnoticed. Our remedy is to say to these people that we have brains enough to see an insult, that we resent any such treatment from being of their type; that we much prefer to stay away and keep our money than to be subjected to such contemptible treatment. ANOTHER STATE DOES IT. The State of Arizona has passed a law compelling the separation of colored and white children in the public schools. One man Bayess, a Negro, took exceptions to such a law and went into court to test the constitutionality of the Act of Assembly of Arizona. Just recently the Supreme Court sustained the lower court which held the act constitutional. Mr. Bayless lost out, as was expected. His suit put the white folks of Arizona on record and in the open. They have no other excuse than that the colored children can not lawfully sit in the public schools with white children. This is the law. They made the law, and their courts passed upon the law, and held their own acts valid and constitutional. What else would they do? Certainly they would not pass a law eliminating what they term an evil, and then hold that same law unconstitutional. We citizens of Pennsylvania should not let these things pass us unnoticed. What Arizona has done, Pennsylvania may do any time. All that is needed here is the nerve of a few unprincipled white men to come out into the open and demand publicly what they desire secretly. We must look well to the interests of those who must succeed us in the struggle for existence. Mothers and fathers especially should be concerned. It is they who must run the risk with their children, who can not have or expect to have more opportunity than their fathers before them open up and leave open to them. A few of the Negroes of Southern California have organized and bought a summer resort for the Negroes of their section of the country. The white newspapers declare that the Negroes have secured one of the best sites on the Western coast, consisting as it does of or 10 acres of the very best land in Southern California. The fact that the resort joins a millionaire shooting cup has given the enterprise more than ordinary advertisement. What these. Negroes of Los Angeles have done for Southern California, the Negroes of Pittsburgh will soon have to do for this community. It is as fact, however, painful, that we have no place within easy reach of this community where we can take our families for an outing or rest. The parks in and about the city have been closed to us for picnics and the public parks offer us no comfort. Our only relief lies in the ownership of something of our own where we may go and enjoy life free from the insults of our discriminating brother. The California Ngroes were not afraid to invest their money for themselves; they feel that they can make the enterprise pay for itself by patronizing it as they have been similar enterprises belonging to the white syndicates. We can do the same right here in Allegheny county. What we need is a little determined effort on the part of Ngroes who are not afraid themselves. Hon. W. T. Vernon, ex-register of United States Treasury under the Roosevelt administration, has been named as president of Campbell College, Jackson, Miss. That Mr. Vernon is fully qualified for the position can not be disputed. His large experience and extended contact fit him for the duties incident to the appointment. We shall await reports upon the progress Mr. Vernon is sure to make in his new role. LOCAL NEWS Among the Pittsburghers visiting in Bellefonte, Pa., are: Mrs. B. H. Lee and Miss Hettie Monroe.

GIFTS TO PLEASE BRIDESMAID | SI Originality Should Be Alm, and a Little Forethought Will Bring Desired Results. Every bride likes to have something original, and as the ideal gift should be something in an endearing form and the tendency of the season is to have many bridesmaids, the question of expense has also to be considered. It is now quite smart to give a pair of gold or enameled hatpins with intertwined initials of bride and groom and the date of the wedding. Equally appropriate are these set with birthstone of the bride or the different bridesmaids. Small charms for watch or chateaine in bridal emblems are pretty. These might be a tiny garter in deep yellow gold, a wedding bell with initials of bride and bridegroom and date engraved on it, or any oval locket, plain or jeweled, containing pictures of the bride and bridegroom. On the right side should be a large monogram of the brides-twined initials of the bride and bridegroom. Shoe buckles are attractive gifts, and particularly acceptable just now. Recently a bride delighted her wedding party by presents of oblong buckles studded with rhinestones. Gold or silver card cases are popular gifts just now. The real gift is one that can be worn for the wedding ceremony itself. New Material. One of the prettiest materials of the moment is soft crepe volle, patterned with Turkish toweling. The latter fabric has not, on the whole, much to recommend it as a summer choice, the coarseness of the ruffled surface giving a woolly effect, which makes it hardly ideal for the hottest summer weather. "In a combination, however, of porcelain blue and white, the two fabrics look delightfully cool, the toweling forming a border to the hem of the skirt and the wide cuffs of the bodice, while above the hem, on the plain surface of the crepe, occurs a row of raised china blue roses in toweling. Dainty Collar. To wear with colored linen dresses, a sailor collar of sheerest mull is most effective. It requires a half yard of material. After cutting the collar out, finish the edge with an inch-wide frill of finely pleated net. Cuffs to match may be made with rounded or square corners and edged with the pleated net. If a touch of color is desired, a row of feather stitching where the net is joined to the collar, supplies it. Accessories That Add Immensely to the Effect of the Most Simple Costumes. If you are a pretty girl, filled with the ambition to be always smartly garbed and have not an overplus of money, you can help out your wardrobe wonderfully by means of hat and tie sets. First of all, provide yourself with one of the new small frames of turban or bonnet shape—whichever most becomes you—that cover it with taupe or black velvet as either of those tones will accord with any shade which you may desire to put with them. Then make several bands of precisely the length to fit about the crown of the hat and hook them under bows of broad ribbon. The band may be of fur, of feathers, of a single long plume, of embroidered net or velvet or of silk or worsted flowers, but it should fit the crown so perfectly that it can be whisked off in a minute's time and replaced with another of a different sort.

The many ways and on a windy day can be SIMPLE COIFFURE LIKED F While elaborate pins and ornaments are worn in the hair now, the tresses themselves are arranged with simplicity. The collure for the evening shows a large knot, low on the head, encircled by a braid which is held in place, by large rhinestone set pins and a barrette to match. Cloth Top Shoes The wearing of cloth tops to match the gown with the varnished leather shoes seems to have gripped everyone's fancy just now to a surprising extent. Women seem to have grown quite accustomed to the rounded toes of the shoes, and the heels which we would formerly have dubbed rather contemptuously as "sensible," but which are now distinctly fashionable, as well. The white cloth tops of the shoes give exactly the same effect as the white stockings, and seem to fit very neatly into the picture when the black skirt and white coat are worn, a vogue which many of us are inclined to deplore, but which is certainly carrying all before it in Paris at the present moment. Tired Eyes. For tired eyes, try lying down for a half hour and putting cool compresses of boracle acid solution over them. Make the compresses by dipping pieces of sterile gauze into a pint of filtered water that has had a third of an ounce of boracle acid thoroughly mixed in it. Matching neckties are made of the same materials, but in two ways. A favorite model consists of a band twice the width of the one fitting the hat, and secured under the left ear with a long-ended and short-looped bow of reversible ribbon velvet. Another model consists of a wide band shaped precisely like a stock. This, closing in the back, fits the throat closely, and is trimmed with a four-inch wide plaited trill of ribbon or taffeta matching the bow of the hat band. Alliance Ring While the wedding ring is of the foremost interest to the groom, yet it is often discussed jointly by the bride and groom. And to them a new wedding ring is being offered this year called the "Alliance ring." This appears to be one solid ring, but is actually two, the joints being invisible, and whenever engraved the ring is separated by inserting a pin in the inside pinhole, which separate the two rings, and the marking is done on the inside surface. The Home Department SMART OUTDOOR SUMMERHAT|STILL THE FLUFFY NECKWEAR SOME IDEAS FOR GIFTS DAINTY NOVELTIES SURE TO PLEASE THE RECIPIENT. Clever Needlewoman Never Need Be at a Loss for a Suitable Present—More Dressing When Need A gift that is made by hand is always twice as valuable as one that is bought, and so many dainty novelties are seen now that offer suggestions for needlewomen that no one need be at a loss as to what to make for the traveler or the girl graduate or the bride of these summer days. To begin with the woman who is going away—there are so many gifts one hardly knows where to start, but one of the nicest is a set of "dress envelopes" for her trunk. These envelopes are made of heavy linen, the shape copied from any envelope, and they should be the size of the trunk. At least a half dozen may be made, bound with ribbon and worked with a monogram, and then into them may be slipped the traveler's prettiest frocks, keeping them from ever coming in contact with the other things in the trunk. Sometimes these envelopes are simply doubled sheets of bristol board or heavy cardboard, covered with linen and tied together with ribbon. For a bride-to-be the gifts are also infinite in number and variety. A half dozen little guest towels marked with cross-stitch designs, satchet pads for the chest in which her trousseau is kept, anything in the way of household linen marked with her monogram, and also any bit of hand-made lingeries you may select. Nothing very new, you say. Well, perhaps not, but they will be new and wonderful to the girl wrapped in her dreams of future and present happiness. For the girl graduate there are many presents easily made. One of these is a pretty case of kodak pictures made from long strips of linen fastened together, the inner strip being made with "buttonholes" wide enough for the pictures at intervals both top and bottom. These may then be folded over and over and tied with ribbons, the girl's monogram and the date being worked on the outside edge. Another novel and attractive gift is a set of collars, cuffs, a jabot, a belt and a hat band, all of hand-worked linen, edged perhaps with tiny frills or lace, while another nice gift for either bride or girl graduate is a set of aprons—a work apron, an embroidery aprons—belonging half way up to form a huge pocket for work), a chafing dish apron and a garden apron—all made by hand and embroidered with the girl graduate there. M. Copyright, Underwood & Underwood, N. F. A smart English soft, cloth-stitched hat called the "Dunwoodie," made to match the summer outing cloth suits. The shape is adjustable and can be worn as most becoming to the yearer. Bunches of grass are popular as hat trimmings. CAPED HOODS FROM SCARFS Exceedingly Pretty Are Some of the Designs, Generally In Two Shades. Caped hoods contrived from straight lengths of material are a boon to those women who like a definitely shaped head covering for evening use. A scarf, 21/2 yards long by one yard wide, is box plaited across the center of one side to make a length of about eight inches and at a finger's distance from the edge of each outer plait an elastic-hand is run through a shirring, crossing the entire width of the scarf, and this shirring is finally covered by a bread ribbon which ties beneath the chin. This arrangement of plaits and shirrings forms, full, soft hood, which falls in graceful folds about the head, while the remainder of the scarf makes a perfectly shaped cape to protect the throat, shoulder and upper portion of the arms. Exceedingly pretty cape hoods may be made from lengths of silk baskets or of shot taffetas in two shades of yellow, green, manue, blue or silk. Usually of Delicate Colors, Cover Just the Protection That Is Needed. A delicate sunshade requires almost as much care to keep it from becoming damaged or soiled when not in use as that which is generally bestowed upon some dainty frock. It will therefore be found well worth while just at this time of year to make a little bag of the nature shown in our sketch for those of our sunshades that require protection. It is very much of the shape and nature of an ```markdown ``` ordinary umbrella cover, differing only in that it fits much more loosely, and at the neck it is gathered on to a long loop of tape, by which both cover and sunshade may be suspended from a peg at the back of the wardrobe. Sateen or linen are perhaps as suitable materials as possible to select for making the bag, but there are, of course, many other materials that would do equally well, and for a very expensive sunshade soft silk and ribbon strings selected of a color to match the shade might be used. The should open for a small distance at one side of the neck, and the hole through which the point of the sunshade protrudes should be bound with narrow ribbon or braid. Lace and Chiffon. With the revival of shot taffetas, embroidered muslins, china sash ribbons, and other quaint old world fabrics, it was only natural to expect that lace should return to favor, since, to take only one example of many, nothing makes a more suitable and becoming finish to one of the newly resuscitated early Victorian gowns than a demurely draped fichu, made either entirely in real lace or in soft muslin bordered with a real lace frill. Vogue of This Most Becoming Mode Seems to Be as Firmly Estab- lished as Ever. Feathered neckwear is worn once again, and we realize once more how cossey, soft and becoming it is. Time and again it has been said that the reign of the feather boa is over, but far from this being the case, most fascin- cating ruffles are now being shown at prices which almost equal those of fur. The widest, softest and smallest of these is of doubled lanced white feathers, a most opulent and beauti- ful stole. For the most part, however, feather necklets, though still soft and lovely and very full, are shorter than they were. Nearly all of them have pendant tassels, but even so they do not come far below the waist. The long, thin wisp which lent itself to the caricature has quite coated to be, and ostrich stoles are now worn quite as wide, as those of marabout. Fashion gives its best approval to the wide box boa of ostrich feathers either in black or white or in a color matching the gown. Loosely Woven Fabrics. The grille or filet mesh linen is much used in combination with plain linen, and there are soft, heavy loose woven cottons which have filet weave to match. These cottons are flecked with white in pepper and salt fashion, and the very good looking in the cool grays and tans, though it seems possible that the loose woven stuff might stretch and pull out of shape. finished at the ends with long fringe in the lighter of the two tones. The fringed edged scarfs of liberty satin and the veils of auto silk with wide satin striped borders of crepe chiffon edged heavily with crepe and of mousseline de sole in double lengths of two contrasting colors are easily made into charming looking cape hoods. However, if a woman feels that she needs a head covering which is a trifle more elaborate, she may border any chiffon veil with a tiny ruching of taffeta having pinked edges, with an all-over design worked in silver or pearl beads Stronger Chiffon Sleeves With the increasing desire for sheer sleeves and yokes an excellent chiffon has been substituted by the makers for that perilous quality which gave way with the slightest suggestion of wear. This is more readily found in black, white, and flesh color, and will undoubtedly bring joy to the heart of the woman who has longed for but bravely denied herself the luxury of chiffon sleeves.

He dwelleth not in tem- ples made whh hands, but in the be- Mever’s heart. Sacraments ‘are but means of grace. Signs and symbols ‘are only valuable and helpful because of what they represent, But so long az man Is man there wit be the need for these outward and visible forms of the deeper spiritual verities. We are so constituted that we will, until this mortal puts on immortality, need our houses of God, our sacraments and other means of grace. Rites and ceremonies, signs and symbols will ever have thelr place in the religious Ute of man, These things mean much to us and we do well to value them alghly. ‘When James I. of England sought the hand of the infanta of Spain for nla son Charles, belng of different honseholds of faith, the consent of the pope was refused until satisfac tory assurance was given that ashe would be allowed to worship God ac- cording to the customs of her fathers —that she be permitted to carry with her priest, altar, mass and all that represented and made up her re iistous life. The puritan fleeing to the land of Uberty carried with bim his open Bible and distinctive re- gious beliefs sind 1s today usually portrayed with that Bible under his arm or the paalter in bis hand. In he days of the commonwealth, when che Puritan was in the ascendancy, che churchman was proscribed and forced {nto hiding, But he carried vit: him hts prayer book and, forbid- Jen though it was, worshiped God ac- cording to its forriularies. Men do not lightly forsake thelr beliefs and raditions and we are what we are argely because we have Inherited ‘our fathers’ gods.” Church ind acrameats, rites and ceremonies, gna and,symbols, creeds and confes- Jona of lth, all have a part, and a ery large one, in our yeligious Iite, ws for all they represent to us, for he heiy ther impart, for the love we ear them and the veneration we feel or them, we do well to’take with us avough life these our fathers’ tera- ihim.

Pailur to attend church, the neglect of pray er and the various means of grace the doing of things inexpedient (even 1€ not unlawful), the lowering of the ‘standard even for a few weeks, mus prove harmful to the best of us. The ¥acation will prove as helpful; we wit derive as much real enjoyment if we carry our teraphim with us and: give an hour for church on Sunday, » few minutes daily for our devotions, make some effort to help others, and always strive to remember thet our religious Mfe should be as-real away from as at home. It ts the experience of many § country minister that “summer board ers” are frequently a positive injury to church work. Many will not at tend service (they are in the country for a “rest”), and meeting thelr needs and demands make it Impossible. for their hosts to do so. So it is wit many summer residents io country ot suburbs. Though regular attendants at church the rest of the year, though zealous in good works at other times, late rising, Sunday guysts, amuse ments of various kinds effectually pre vent church-going, and the country chureh, the chapel in mountain or by the seashore lose the help and’ stimu tus that could be given and also suf: fer positive-injury from the example of findifference to things spiritual, The manner of life of the men and women who stand high in the professional, terary or social world at home is noted and commented upon and has an Influence far beyond what is reab ized. The habit of imitation ig great footsteps are being followed, although the one who made them hears not nor seen those behind. We do not need to take our teraphim with us on our vacations to enable us to so live that while seeking rest and health for mind and body we do not injure or weaken our own souls nor cast stum bling blocks in the pathway of oth era.—Edward T. Helfensteln, Rector St. John’s Church, Howard’ county, Maryland. i. SOME PROGRESS OF THE RACE SINCE FREEDOM oPorty-seven years ago. the colored people of Texas received news of thets emancipation. At that time they hard ly‘possessed thelr own clothes to wear Today in Texas the colored people's holdings represent fm value close to thirty millions of dollars. Forty-seven years ago there were hardly 5,000 col ored people in Texas; today thelr pop ulation Is over $00,000 (eightsiundred thousand), having nearly 200,000 chil ‘dren of scholastic age, twenty institu. tions of learning, representing a value ‘of about two millions of dollars, with a total yearly attendance of over 6,000, Over two-thirds of the colored people in Texas live In the country, where the farms are productive. Nearly 100, 000 farms are owned by colored people in Texas, with a value of over elghteen million dollars. Colored labor Is also 4 great factor in the state's progress, from the Red river to the gulf and from Yke Sakine to the Rio Grande. The above are some ehings for which the race in Texas should feel proud of on the nineteenth of June; and {t ta to be hoped that all over this state the celebration be elevated to the occasion. In the whole United States’ the race has grown from four millions of people to tens of millions, representing a total wealth of nearly one billion dol- lars. In Galveston the population {s close to 9,000, the total wealth being estimated now at over $591,000. There are about 100 cared poo en. gaged In various biness enter prises, etc., representing about $75, 000 in investment. Over 200 homes owfied Im Galveston, three public schools and one Catholic school, Close to 2,000 colored men work on the Galveston wharf front during the busy ala icin RICHEST SODA DEPOSITS. Sola lake, situated at Magadl, Brit. ish East Africa, is one of the richest soda deposits In the world, covering an area of more than 18 square miles and contalaing a quantity of soda es- timated at 207,999,909 tons. As fast as the blocks of soda are removed from the surface the places fill again, and the natives ‘claim that It is pos: sible 10 work continually the same jwosition for several consecutive years. With the primitive tools at hand the Jak has been souuded to a depth of about nine fee: and nothing bu: erys- taltized goda tovnd. It is said that an English company with a capital of £1.1109,000 will begin to exaloit the de. nosit as sooneas the Ugarla railway reaches the district. HERRINGS AS’ FERTILIZER IN > JAPAN. : In Japan abo 4090.09 tons, of herrings are caught every year. This enormous quan“y is not by any means entirely used for human con- sumysion. In fact. about four-fifths of the entire quantity is used as or- gani- fertilizer for the rice fields. france {s only £40, and “Salammabo" took Flaubert ‘ive years to write.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS The foundation upon which the stability of a government is established must rest on character and intelligence of its citizens. This insures perpetuity, and guarantees the safety of the commonwealth. There abides no fear to the existence of centralized powers when a liberal system of wholesome education is diffused; for then, individuals collectively are able to safeguard their personal rights and privileges, forestalling the danger of encroachment. In a republican form of government where the creation of laws rests upon numbers, there are ever grave inclinations to the abuse of authority, which often destroys confidence in the ability and honesty of the rulers. The integrity of a people is pledged by the integrity of those they elevate; and if their deeds are not in keeping with their declarations there is somewhere an error in the system. Theory antecedes practice in whatever sphere we engage; but it does not determine a successful end. Issues inaugurated for the promotion of a common cause must be based upon the eternal principles of right; else the good effect which we choose career will fail to materialize; and our labors will be vain. A well-balanced nation is not excitable and whenever danger to its institutions arises, it calmly meets the situation. Educated masses are noble assets to the permanency of all establishments if their sentiments are properly molded. It is through this medium that national regards are enforced. Human nature is not prone to withdraw from attempts upon things it covets unless outside pressure is brought strenuously to bear upon it. Rights and immunities are prime considerations in the welfare of a people; but there are those contending for recognition who aspire no higher than leaves and fishes. True statesmanship is unselfish, and labors for the betterment of human conditions, regardless of remuneration. But, unfortunately, that element does not exist in abundance. It crops out only at intervals and in isolated places. The greed of official gain has so sapped the vitals of our political body that things of the highest importance are subordinated thereto, and allowed to abide in the background from lack of advocates. The palmy days of Negro leadership, the days of the Douglases, Elliott, Langatons and other illustrious personas whose mention time and space forbid, are past and gone; and a generation of another type has stepped upon the stage. Less brilliant-intellectually, less stable politically and do not wield with the masses that influence which characterizes the epoch in which these giants wrought. Troublesult times are necessary to the production of genuine leadership. They prove the materials they produce. In our happy days of pleasure in which the possession of marvelous wealth lulls the rich to a life of ease, the poor is at the mercy of every agency which controls the destiny of the country and can find small redress for the grievances which oppress. To lighten the burdens which weigh so heavily upon the shoulders of those who create wealth, whose toils are the strength of the nation should be the endeavor of those who accede to maintain their interests. But, by permitting themselves to become slaves to the glare of fifty lucre they lose sight of the greatest benefits to the greatest number and allow thousands to perish while a comparative few survive.—Ethiopian Phalax. The desire to own something is one of the most valuable assets a person can have with which to begin as well as to end life. The man who desires to own something will usually have his desire gratified, as such a man is never satisfied until it is gratified. In the beginning he may not have anything to offer in exchange for that he desires to own but his labor of the hands and brains, but that is the capital every man inherits in large or small measure, be he prince or pauper. Given a willingness to work and reasonable skill in doing even the ordinary things thoroughly, any young man can make his way in the world: can make a good day's wage as he goes along, which with proper self-denial in his living expenses will net him in a few years enough capital in cash and in reputation with his neighbors to begin business and succeed in it, so that he may own the things the possession of which will give him the greatest satisfaction. The sentiment is becoming general among negroes in all parts of the country that a man must not only know a great deal but he must own something to prove that he knows something. The spendthrift, dressed up to date, who has nothing behind him to sustain his expensive living, does not find the favor now that he sid ten and twenty years ago among the people whose good opinion he desires, whose social and business influence he would enjoy. He must have some reputation for steadiness in work and for saving something of what he earns in order to stand well in his own estimation and that of his neighbors. That the desire for the in- It looks now as if a bill limiting the tenure of office of the president to one term, and disqualifying him for re-election, will be passed. A law of this sort seems to be needed in our secret orders, especially with reference to the chief officers. Make the term four years and let that be all for one man. Under such a law the incumbent will spend his time thinking out and putting in force plans for the betterment of the organization, rather than in plotting and intriguing to get re-elected. Under the present SEVEN dependent ownership of one's time and occupation is growing, our exchanges show from week to week by the progressive business development in their communities. For instance the Oakland (Cal.) Sunshine says: "The slogan of the members of the Negro Business League at their banquet last week at the Southern Kitchen was practice what you preach and patronize your race enterprises and your professional men as far as possible and produce something by land, own an enterprise, if nothing, more than a chicken ranch. Don't depend on the other race for a job. Make your own job by being a producer instead of a steady consumer. Buy land; buy a farm." Talking about the movement, in Japan, to fetch about religious unity, between Shintoism, Buddhism and Christianity, fostered by the Japanese government. The Gosho says: "The example thus set might well be followed by the Jews, Protestants and Roman Catholics in this country," while adhering loyalty "to their separate creeds and churches, in a common effort for the betterment of the nation," and would "turrah," much more hope of practical and immediate results than an endeavor to invent some common creed or create a ritual on which all can unite." Their work is separate and distinct in effort, although common in faith and purpose from that of the Anglo-American churches. The Age believes that the Afro-American church denominations of the Western Hemispheres could do better work for the negro and the nation if they had a working understanding. A national congress represented by all of our denominations would accomplish this and attract the attention of the world to the magnitude of the moral and intellectual power of the work. Up in Pittsburgh, Pa., a diamond edition of a man—weighs 120 pounds—has been divorced from his wife—a quarto edition of a woman weighing 300 pounds—because he insisted on using her as a sort of fursace. He returned home cold one night and as there was no fire he pulled off his footwear and clapped his feet to his wife's back and kept them there till they got warm. Just how he did this is not mentioned, but we suppose he stood up on her. Any way, she need for and got a divorce. She claimed that for ten years he had abused her in various ways, such as "begging her down stairs," had "bent her up," "spit tobacco juice on the table and her feet," "pushed a revolver under her nose and yellow," "until that!" But this thing of warming his feet at her back was the straw or foot—that broke the camel's—his wife's back. The little fellow had nerve all right, but where in the dichens did he get his strength from? A certain boat coming up the Mile Mississippi one day, during the food boat her, way and humped up against a frame house. She hasn't more than touched it before an old dirty manmused his head up through a hole in the roof, where the chimney soon came out, and yelled at the captain on the roof: 'What's your grine wid did boat? Can't you see nothing?' Faint thing yer knows yer grine to turn the house out, spill de old woman an' de chilen out in de flood, an' drown 'em. What yer doin' out here in de country wid yer boat, anyhow? Go on back yander froo de co' fields an' get back into de ribber wher yer blongs. 'Ago no business sev'n miles out in the country foolin' ron' people's houses nohow.' And she backed out—lh-change. Notwithstanding we are living in the twentieth century and stand on the threshold of the brightest and greatest civilization that the world has ever known, there is a crying and a pressing need of a better educated ministry. There is much need for improvement along this line. We do not refer to this matter as a matter of criticism, but as a matter of sympathy and pressing necessity. It is too late in these bright days of civilization to have so much ignorance in the pulpit. There are plenty of high schools in this country to train young men for the ministry that they may intelligently and yet forcibly stand on their feet and preach the gospel of truth.—The Baptist Reporter. Never in the history of New York city has its colored churches been represented by so clean and capable a colored clergy as today. The licentious, whangoodle preacher in almost every instance has been supplanted by a Christian, devoted, educated gentleman, not only a leader and an asset to his church, but a credit to his race. The disgraceful church scrape and court cases between warring factions, charges of immorality and unseemly conduct as noticeable a few years back have become conspicuous by their utter absence today. Amsterdam News. Napoleon would not believe that his escape from Eba would bear him to St. Helena. system the orders are not only torn by such plotting, but it pays the expenses of the fellow, who does the canvassing to stay in office. If we have to pay for this state-wide canvassing couldn't we save several thousand dollars by making this canvas unnecessary? If a man who is in has to go around to canvass for office then his visits which are paid for by the order are uneaseless to himself and they could very probably be disposed with, and at a great cost to the order. What about it? ATHLETICS CLEVER OUTFIELD TWELFTH MUSIC BY PAUL THOMPSON "Cy" Morgan, a Consistent Perf Cy Morgan has pitched consistent, winning Philadelphia American League champions and one of the Athletic entries in the pitching has ship. Morgan pitched in the American Assoc was with the St. Paul club and was known ers in the league. The bugs disliked to see took the time limit in moistening and deliver! Scattering Notes of the Diamond Jack Murray of the Glants still has a fine throwing arm. Wolverton's new outfielder, Pat Maloney, is making good from the start. Larry McLean caught 38 straight games for the Reds before he took a day's rest. Billy Phyle, the veteran third snacker, has been appointed an umpire in the Canadian league. Bobby Gills, Nap scout, has turned up in New Orleans. He reports material source, as usual. Ben Houser, the tall left-handed first baseman of the Boston Braves, is a strong favorite with the crowds. Pat Maloney, the outfielder the Highlanders bought to take Wolter's place, cost the tidy sum of $10,000. Since Russell Ford joined the New York Americans in 1910 he has lost but two games to the Cleveland Naps. Cly Seymour, formerly of the New York Giants, is hitting the ball hard for Newark of the International league. The bean ball has put many players on the shelf, Fred Clarke and Frank Chance being the latest important instances. Jack Coombs is wearing a harness to protect himself when he pitches, because of the many injuries he received last year. Boston fans like the work of Young O'Rourke, the Bridgesport shortstop, now playing with Johnny Kling's Boston Braves. Ted Easterly uses the biggest bat in the major leagues. An average player can't lift it up unless he's feeling extra strong. Danny Sullivan, for two seasons outfielder for the Kansas City team, has been sold to Indianapolis. He formerly was with Toledo. It is rumored around the circuit that much of the poor showing of the Naps is due to internal strife, and that it is not a happy family by any means. Manager Jack Dunn of the Baltimore team says Bill Bergen is the best catcher in the International league, and that $5,000 would not buy the former Dodger from the Orioles. "Home-Run" Baker of the Athletics now holds a record for Chicago. He is the only player to put a ball over the right-field fence of the White Sox. "Buck" Freeman, the former Washington-Boston heavy sticker, is having a hard time of it trying to land his Scranton team a winner in the New York-State league. Howard Shanks, left fielder of the Senators, is going to make a lot of players in that position sit up and take notice this summer if he keeps up the grand work he has been doing. The Rochester team did a lot in bolstering up the Washington team for the great race it has been running. It sent Moeller and Foster there and both are doing helpful work. EIGHT Glever Pitcher Secured by Western League Club From the Boston American League Team. Pitcher Casey. Hagerman has been secured by the Denver club from the Boston American League club. Hag- J Pitcher Hagerman. erman was with the Jersey City team, but the negotiations had to be conducted with the Boston club because there was an option on the player. Friends of Indianapolis. Since the elevation of Charley O'Leary to the manager's job an alliance has been formed by Indianapolis with Detroit, and this, together with the friendly relations that have existed with the Chicago Cubs, makes it appear that some talent will be supplied by one of those clubs. President Navin has promised the Indians aid and a deal is already simmering with President Murphy of the Cubs. Shoes Agree With Terney. The shoe business appeals particularly to Fred Tenney, as he was born in a shoe town, Georgetown, Mass. and has always had more or less knowledge of shoes and leather because of his New England affiliations. Tenney's entrance into shoe manufacuring means his permanent retirement from baseball and his many friends will wish him every success in his new venture. Offering Poses for Sleep It is a curious fact with reference to the sleeping habits of the various peoples that while those in Northern countries do not appear to be able to sleep well unless they have lots of room in which to stretch their legs, the inhabitants of the tropics often curl themselves up like monkeys at the lower angle of a suspended hammock and deep very soundly that way. 1 all season for the 1 probability will be · a world's champion- few years ago. He of the slowest pitch- the slab because he ball or strike. BRAINY BASE RUNNERS Wagner and Cobb, Two Bag Stealers. Use Judgment. Pittsburg Dutchman Made Many Doubles by Stretching Pure Singles Inta Two-Baggers—Georgia Peach Studiee Ritchers. Proper base running, such as the New York Giants indulge in, consists in taking chances without being too reckless. Nothing is ever gained by the conservative runner who sticks close to his base until the ball is hit over the fence. The followers of the old army game will win only a small portion of the games for a ball club. On the other hand, the reckless runner, who is always getting pinched off at the most critical stages, is about equally worthless. A combination of aggressiveness and caution is the right dope for successful base running. A better way to put it would be aggressiveness tempered by good judgment. Every pitcher has plenty of little signs unknown to himself which an observant runner can soon get next to. If more base runners use their brains to detect these signs and take advantage of them there would be more bases stolen. The man who is smart enough always to take an extra base when the opportunity offers is the winning player. For years Wagner of Pittsburg led the league in two-base hits. He was a hard hitter, to be sure, but the rea NY Ty Coth. son he always led in doubles was he cause he stretched so many pure singles into two-baggers by his clever running. When in his prime Wagner always came down to first base like the wind and made the turn at full speed. Nine times out of ten on the ordinary hit he would have to stop and hold first base. The tenth time there would be a slight fumble or delay in handling the ball in the outfield and he would go on to second. The extra base might win the ball game. Cobb earned his fame by studying all opposing players, especially pitchers. He knows every move that is going to be made by certain men and just what it means. He watches the outfielders and soon knows what their way of handling the ball on the ground is, whether they will get it away quickly or not, and what kind of throwers they are. If a man shows a tendency to slowness or inaccuracy Cobb makes a mental note of the fact, and the next time he hits to that field he is likely to take an extra base. R Honus Wagner. Cobb excels all other players, not so much in speed as in brains and powers of observation. While most athletes play a fairly conservative and mechanical game Cobb is always pulling something and getting away with it that no one else would attempt. His work looks reckless, but it is not so reckless as it looks, because he has the dope on opposing players. "Wild Bill" Donovan may be manager of the Tigers next season if the team does not take a sudden brace in its playing. "I am not at all satisfied with the way things are going. Jennings appears to have lost his hold on the men," said Owner Navin. "They seem to have no confidence in his judgment. Our pitchers have been handled poorly and the team shows little science. As Jennings has a contract for this year we shall not make any change right now." Howard Sent to Scranton. Austin Howard, the young collegean that Griffith is developing, has been sent to Scranton. He was first with Atlanta, then with Richmond. Perhaps Griff expects him to acquire experience in the different methods of many managers. Baseball Zoo. What is baseball coming to? Earl Moore is a Moose, Johnny Evers is an Elk, Charley Doolin is a White Rat and Cy Morgan is an Eagle. It reads like a noo leagre. PITTABURGH COURIER (By Lloyd L. Fiaser.)
