WHAT ROOSEVELT SAYS ABOUT OUR RACE HONOR HEAD OF FIFTH EPISCOPAL DISTRICT CIRCULATION BOOKS ARE OPEN TO ADVERTISERS VOL. III. NO. 34. WHAT HONOR HEAR EPISCOPA St. Louis Greets Bishop H. B. Parks—Netable Gathering At St. Paul Chapel. By CHARLES S. HUNTER St. Louis.-The colored people of St. Louis, filled with the infectious progressive spirit of this western metropolis, are making history. Long prominent in the educational world because of the splendid equipment of its schools, conspicuous in religious circles by the magnificence of its churches, its colored population is new experiencing a business and political awakening that augurs big things for the future of the race in this section. The latter part of July hundreds of representative citizens, business and professional men from all the churches and scores of visiting clergymen from the Fifth episcopal district of the A. M. E. church gathered at St. Paul chapel to welcome Bishop H. B. Parks to the district. It was a notable gathering-notable not alone in the fact that all the colored evangelical churches in the city vied with each other in extending cordial greetings to the distinguished churchman, but because of the dominant note of racial unity sounded by all the speakers in an effort to foster every possible agency for racial betterment and uplift. Secret Society and Political Notes. Another big event was the sessions of the grand lodge Knights of Pray as and Knights of Tabor. These gatherings have brought together hundreds of representative men and women from all parts of the state. The unique features of the occasion were the joint encampment of their unified departments at Kulage park, joint participation in the monster parade and a union competitive drill and military ball. In politics the black voter is evidencing his growing sense of racial consciousness by bringing out candidates for nomination for state senator and congressman of the Twelfth congressional district, the second richest district in the United States, the Wall street district in New York being first in wealth. The voters are very optimistic and feel sure that the enthusiastic support which will be given the candidates will have a twofold moral effect, inasmuch as it will create wholesome respect for the Negro politically, as well as make him more fully conscious of his own power when exercised as a unit. Real-Estate and Banking Interests. The most notable event in business circles is the organization of a bank, capitalized at $200,000, in which some of the foremost men of the race locally are interested. Beauty investments are active. New business ventures are being launched weekly. The Osborne Printing company has installed a cylinder press, upon which will be printed the Western Star of Zion, a publication created by the recent general conference of the A. M. E. Zion church. Feeling that the church should have a part in the selection of proper amusements for the people. St. Paul chapel, under the splendid leadership of Dr. W. Sampson Brooks, has projected a monster terrace garden which will afford enjoyment and pleasure for all who desire such diversion. Influence of the Press Recognized. The spirit of harmony and thrift is in the air; a new Negro is forging to the front, and, recognizing the grinding, crushing competition of American industrial life, he is realizing that thoroughness and solidarity of purpose alone can warrant any measure of success in the struggles of life. In the furtherance of this new racial propaganda the Argus, the Advance, the Central Afro-American and the Western Star of Zion, our local publications, are rendering good service. This is evidence that the power of the press is still vital in molding sentiment and in creating an atmosphere in which reforms must of no necessity thrive and develop good fruitage. WINDOW IS SMASHED AND RIOT CALL SOUNDS A rail call was sent to the Copper co. station at the Brownsville station. Thursday morning and when a sound of officers and the wagon responded only one man was arrested. A crowd of Negroes were coming from a bear enclosure at Fallerton street and Wylie avenue was attacked. William Beaulieu (whose) 28 Will street, Mr. Washington, was arrested just as he threw a brick through a jewelry store. He was fined $25 with the alternative of spending 60 days in the workhouse by Magistrate Louis Alpern. THE PITTSBURGH COURIER The Paper That Promotes Progress (By Wartrick Anderson.) The Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias of Pennsylvania, held its sixth annual convention in Philadelphia, Pa., page 20 to 26. It is conceded by many that belong to other fraternal orders that the K. K. P. is one of the most representative fraternal orders that was met in the city in years. At 12:00, Tuesday, Grand Chancellor, S. P. G. Collier, called the convention to prer. On taking the chair he delivered a most enthusiastic address in which he felicitated the members of the order. The way that Pythianism has developed in Pennsylvania in the last five years is remarkable and the memorship in Pennsylvania exceeds 4,000, representing six subordinate lodges. The total number of delegates that attended the session was 225. The public meeting held on the evening of the 24th took place at Vartick Memorial A. M. E. Zion church, Rev. Dr. T. J. Mappins, pastor. Over 2,000 people filled the large edifice. Sir Warring was master of ceremonies. The center of the church was occupied by the unturned rank and the ladies courts in full regalia, which was a magnificent sight to behold. Director of Public Safety, Geo. D. Porter, the personal representative of his honor, Mayor Blankenburg, made a very appropriate and thoughtful address in tendering the freedom of the city of Philadelphia to the knights. Amonah brings Mr. Porter said, that he sincerely regretted that the mayor was not present to witness the beautiful life which was before him. Concluding the said: "I see sitting before me men and women who believe good citizenship for the principles for which your order represents obedience to law and order and the friendship for all mankind in everything that is good, noble and true." (Continued on Page Eight.) THE BAPTIST WOMEN'S MISSIONARY CONVENTION The Baptist Women's Missionary convention of the Allegheny Baptist General Association met in the See and Baptist church Beaver Falls, Pa., on Friday and Saturday, July 26 and 27. Mrs. P. L. Anderson of the N.Y. Side, was reelected as presidee to serve her elevation year of 60. She is Fannie S. Webb was reelected as general secretary to serve her year of such. Many delegates were in attendance and many brachy tapers were read. The Rev. A. H. Tobbs delivered the Introductory session at 11 a.m. Friday. Dr. Ernest Hall of Pittsburgh, delivered the closing sermon at 7:30 p.m. both write-in inspiring. The following were elected delegates to the State Convention at Altoona in October: Mrs. P. L. Anderson, Miss Fannie S. Webb, Mrs K. G. Minor, Mrs. Nannah Meys, Mrs K. S. E. Price, Mrs A. R. Carrington. The convention adjourned to meet in July, 1913, with Metropolitan Baptist church, Dr. J. H. Holder, pastor, North Side, Pittsburgh, Pa. The only theater in Chicago conducted by Negroes for Negroes is to pass into the hands of the whites. The playhouse, which is in the heart of the black belt on the South Side, has some years ago by the late Bob Mott. It is doing none but Negro performers to beware programs varied in charm from wild and wild to grand opera. The enterprise prospered until Mott, with a few months ago, His company finally to agree in the manners to the theater, and have made a fine show. HIRAM H. STARR DIES AT RIPE OLD AGE OF 85 It is reported that Iliam H. Starr, a wealthy western pioneer, died recently, leaving all of his estate, Dr. Booker T. Washington, to be used for educational purposes in connection with the Tuskegee (Ala.) institute. Mr. Starr resided in Falls City, Ore., and was a member of the Free Methodist Episcopal church. He was never married and was eighty-five years of age. A nephew in Maricopa, Cal., is said to be the only surviving relative. The hump is coming down, but the Courrier is growing every day.

HAYNES ADDRESSED THE WOMEN'S CLUBS Much Progress Made Due To Their Fidelity—Professor Was Principal Speaker Hampton, Va.—The biennial convention of the National Association of Women's Clubs recently held in this town at the Hampton institute was largely attended. Delegates from women's clubs in most all sections of the country were present. Among the men invited to speak and who delivered addresses was Professor George E. Haynes, one of the directors of the National League on Urban Conditions. Professor Haynes was recently honored with the degree of doctor of philosophy by Columbia university. Dr. Haynes' address is in part as follows: We are standing upon the threshold of the semicentennial of our emancipation from chattel slavery. During the years that have passed we have climbed slowly, but surely, up the heights of civilization, lifting as we climb all the nations that touch us. As our people have struggled upward they have been beaten with foes from withholding foes and fears from within, but in spite of it all they have made progress. I hope you will not think that I wish merely to throw bouquets when I saw that our people could not have moved DR. GEORGE W. HAYNES. upward as they have done if there had not been in our midst women as noble, as devoted, as self sacrificing, as any people can claim. When truth gets a hearing there will be one paan of praise for Negro womanhood. Although largely unprotected, greatly abused, often poorly provided for, it has contributed the greatest power producing our progress. With a number of others, it is my privilege to work day by day to better the environment for that aspiring womanhood, for the manhood upon which it depends and for the childhood from which it buds. I believe the allegory of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs, to make a plea for a better environment and larger freedom. Since the year of the emancipation proclamation, Negro women have moved in town and to the towns and cities. It is true that about three-fourths of the population still live in the country, yet in the eleven southern states the number living in towns and cities has increased constantly at the rate of nearly three-thirty years. There is now between 16 and 20 per cent of the total population living in cities. I come, therefore, to plead for our cooperation with the National League on the conditions Among Us in its efforts to make the city environment of our people better and their adjustment to it easier. My subject falls naturally into three parts—(1) the movement of Negroes to cities, (2) segregation within cities, and (3) plans to better the city environment. In our practical activities in the cities within two years there has been tremendous progress made, far larger than what any of us dreamed of. We have combined three of the strongest organizations made up of the leading white and colored citizens that have been working for five or six years at various phases of conditions there. These organizations, now formed into the National Board, now serve the poor and needy in other in the course of general sessions. I wish there were time for me to tell you of the great service Miss Graeb Campbell is reminding to scores of our community and to help them come within the title of the law. We have a traveler all and protective wife, whose work in dealing with grievous cases and acts as she mentioned in the book, and as she shines in the light of her character. We have a busy camp and supervise the fresh work we had done in the city. We have some newborn children for learning the conditions in the neighborhood and have brought together all of the people working in the city to understand the problems at which they are working. These are only some of the many activities of our New York work. We have developed branches that are starting similar work in Philadelphia. St. Louis has a branch beginning with travelers' aid work by workers in Baltimore and Norfolk. In the matter of bringing home the social uplift to our college youth the leagues has affiliated with Flak university, Atlanta Baptist college and Talladega college, and has curated an archive in economics, sociology and history. PITTSBURG PA., AUGUST 9, 1912. COLORED DELEGATES WON ESTEEM FROM WHITE NEIGHBORS Depicts Disaster to Republican Party From The Old Southern Codding. CHICAGO" Aug. 6.—The troublesome Southern negro question, which for a time threatened dissension in the first convention of the National Progressive party, finally was disposed of today when the convention itself, without a dissenting voice, and without discussion, adopted the report of the credentials committee unseating both the white and negro delegates from Florida and throwing out the negro delegates from Mississippi. Colonel Roosevelt, during his "confessions of faith" at the convention this afternoon, was heckled by a spectator who interrupted him with the demand: "What about the negro question?" He asked, in an uproar, but Colonel Roosevelt silenced those of his friends who objected to the question with the statement that no one could ask him a question he was afraid of. The Colonel then proceeded at some length to ask the negro question. He deceived him on condition might so improve in the South that at future Progressive conventions those States might send as delegates negroes who would have the character and standing of the negro, who, he asserted, were in those respects the equal of their white associates. Seeks to Avoid Defeat In taking the stand he did to bar the negroes sent from the South as contesting delegates to the present convention, Colonel Roosevelt asserted he was stifling in advance conditions which had led to "the great Republican party itself." The report of the credentials committee, unanimously adopted, contained a resolution recognizing "the constitutional and right of each and every State to determine the delegates to the national election of its delegates to national conventions." This resolution was regarded as giving Southern states the right to choose delegates to the convention, tethered as not imposing the direct primary system upon any of the States participating in the conventions of the new party. In replying to the interruption as the negro question, Colonel Roosevelt said: Any respectful requests for information I will always have an answer for, and during my time in the South, anything was afraid to be questioned about. I shall not begin in the Progressive party. There was a letter written to Julian Harris three four days ago. In that letter I set forth my views and I think with a clearness that will prevent any misrepresentation; but I can give you by what I mean by the policy I am advocating. Can't Drive Americans More Negroes Than Ever Now as soon as the Progressive party was formed I at once set about, as many other men in different States did, securing from the organization of the colored men in the States, so that as a matter of fact there is this convention of colored men such as there never has been anything more important. And more than that a representation of colored men who, in point of character, exert exactity with any of the whites among whom they stand, began my speech you may remember that there was a good deal dealing (Laughter)—two colored delegates from West Virginia and two colored delegates from West Virginia who do not know their names. One in the State Librarian of West Virginia, the Virginia who and never taken any great interest in politics before. Never were any more persons to a national convention, and the colored delegates it sent are in character, and the colored persons of the white man from that State. Colored Delegates Numerous The only college of training to force in the Southern States to compete is the College of the Southern States the exact institution that we board at West Virginia and Mary Washington, nationally and professionally, see the Southern States the repetition of the colleges in West Virginia and Mary Washington. Conventions you will see colored delegates come from the South Atlantic and Gulf States now come from West Virginia and Maryland.

Is Doing Great Good For The Race-Vastness of His Grand Work Noted. BUN BARNETT DODSON NEW YORK.-The problem of how to hold the young people in the church and Sunday school is one which cannot be solved by any one method. The reason for this broad statement is apparent from the fact that the home training and community environment of persons differ widely. Another essential point to be considered is the moral and intellectual bent of the person to be taught. The problem is progressive, continuous and incapable of final solution because of the variability of the subjects to which the solution of it is applicable. No one method has so far M. B. been found which will suit all classes or conditions in the same manner. It is the consensus of opinion, however, among experienced workers in church. Sunday schools and other departments of religious education that the nearest approach to any one method by which to bind the young people to the church and the Sunday school is proper instruction in Bible knowledge. First the blade, then the ear and next the full corn in the ear—conversion, induction into the church and a proper conception of the will of God concerning himself will do the Sunday school scholar more good than all the man invented methods possible. The most effective agency for securing such results as above referred to of which we know is found in the work of the American Baptist Publication society, conducted especially for our people by the Dr. Rev. S. N. Vass. The benefits derived from Dr. Vass' Bible lectures have been felt for good in all sections of the country by the churches, schools, Young Men's Christian associations and missionary organizations to which he has lectured. Dr. Vass recently delivered a series of Bible lectures for the Young Men's Christian association in Kansas City, Mo. The results of the instruction given to the men through the lecture system of Bible study have been phenomenal. Secretary R. B. De Frantz is highly elated because of the impetus given the association in individual effort on the part of the men. It has meant more interest, more regular attendance and greater energy upon the part of members to push the work forward. The Alabama Baptist state Sunday school convention, the National Religious Training school, the state conventions of North and South Carolina, the training school, for girls and young women in Washington, the national Baptist young people's congress, the Concord and Alyssinian churches in Brooklyn and New York respectively and scores of other religious and educational bodies have engaged Dr. Vass for lecture work. He maintains headquarters in Raleigh, N.C. It would no doubt be a wise thing for each Y. M. C. A. among us to arrange with Dr. Vass for a series of lectures once a year. He is acknowledged by posters, educators and theologians to be the foremost Biblical of the race. He has traced and lectured extensively for nearly twenty years. He is rich in experience, scholarly in attainment, forceful and modest in presenting the truth. The readers of the Courier are earnestly urged to read the advertisements in our paper.

Recently Sanders took part as a spellbinder in the Ohio primary fight between President Taft and Colonel Roosevelt. Representative Rodeoburg of Illinois, said that he would introduce in the House next week a bill to reinstate Sanders in the army and permit his retirement at once. When discharged Sanders had served twenty-six years and after another year's service would have been entitled to retirement at two-thirds pay and allowances. Later Mr. Rodenburg says he will introduce a bill for the reinstatement of all the innocent soldiers discharged for participation in the Brownsville riots. WOMAN AND VISITOR PAY HEAVY FINES Annie Friend, aged 54, of 2430 Fifth avenue, whose home was raided Sunday afternoon, was given a hearing before Police Magistrate Joseph Natali, at the Oakland police station Monday. Fourteen visitors were also given heartings.

After the hearing Ernest Friend, a son, met Johnson and upbraided him for "peaching" against his mother. Johnson complained to the police and the son was arrested. He was ordered to pay a fine of $5 or spend five days in jail. Negro Embrace He Promise Rufus L. Perry, Brooklyn La Tenets of Jewry—First of Ancient Faith—Ki NEW YORK, Aug. 4—Rufus L. Perry, a negro lawyer of Brooklyn, who has appeared before the public many times, embraced the Jewish faith today. The ceremonies took place before several Jewish friends in the home of S. Scheiner, in East Centieth street. Mr. Scheiner's official title among his own race is that of Mohl. He says that he has affiliated at 15,000 similar ceremonies and that Mr. Perry is the first negro he has ever known to accept the Jewish faith. Neither, he says, can any of his brother Mohls remember a similar ceremony. Perry could not see reporters tonight, but through a friend he sent word, that by study and acquaintance he had come to love the Jew and their religion. He knew that it was a young Jewish woman was responsible for his change of faith. Before Mr. Perry was admitted in the Jewish faith he signed a statement, in which he said: THE PAPER THAT REACHES THE HOME FIVE CENTS A COPY RACE OPERATION MARKER RACES Militant Journal Edited By Duse Mohamed Makes Significant Call. RESULT OF RACE CONGRESS The African Times and Orient Review, which is an outgrowth of the universal races congress which met in London in 1911, is a monthly journal devoted to the colored races of the world. It is a thirty-five page magazine, edited with great ability. Duse Mohamed, a Negro born in Egypt and educated in England, is its editor. The Review is to be the mouthpiece of the dark and colored races throughout the world. In the foreword it says, "We feel that for lack of understanding the African and oriental have produced nonappreciation, and nonappreciation has unleashed the hydra headed monster of derision, contempt and repression." Landable ambitions have but to be voiced to be appreciated, and that touch of nature which makes the whole world kin has only to be brought into operation to establish that bond of universal brotherhood among white, yellow, brown and black. In a "Word to Our Brothers" it says: "As for you, the black race, the brown race and the yellow race, this is your own journal. The more humble you are the more need you have of us and the more readily shall we extend our sympathy and advice. We want to hear from you, the young and budding Run Yet Seng. "We call on men like Blyden, the Conrad Reeveses, the embryo Frederick Douglasses and Paul Laurence Dunbane. If you have anything to say for the good of your race let us hear it. Your day is coming. Your place in the sun has been and will come again. As darkness overtook you for a space, it must also overtake Europe. The future of Afries, the future of India, will not be decided in the chanceries of Europe, but upon the hills of India and the plains of Africa. "See that your loins are well girded and that you have your staff firmly in your hand when you once more take your place in the sun." The Review is a decided revelation editorially and typographically, while its contributed articles are of a highly meritorious character. It is to be hoped that American Negroes who want to know what is taking place in the darker world and what progress their race is making will subscribe to this excellent magazine. The significance of the Review need not be stated. It must be apparent that the necessity which called it into being is vital to the interests of those whose spokesman it is and, that the darker races are beginning to rouse from their lethargy and to draw nearer to one another. Sample copies of the review may be had by addressing the publication office, 133 Flushbury pavement, London, E. C. Our poets and writers here have an opportunity to win international fame, and we hope that many will accept the Review's generous invitation to let it hear from them. We think the subscription price is $1 per year. It is worth every penny of it. PRODUCTIONS OF C. C. MELVIN. One of the busiest composers in Pittsburgh is Edward C.

Rufus Lewis Perry, do hereby decide to accept the Jewish religious faith and do hereby request that the ceremony admitting me be performed." The Rev. Meusels then asked him: The Rev. Maxwell must become a Jew." "I want to become a Jew," replied Mr. Perry. "because I believe in the Jewishrites and in their faith, and that the thirteen principles hold for me the promise of again returning to Jerusalem. I will be Koster and continue to be Koster. I believe in the saying. 'You shall love the stranger. I love the Jews and love them will be known.' Then, now and henceforth and forever you shall be known as Raphael Louis.' intoned the Mohl. Raphael Louis is the name by which the lawyer expects to be called, but to save confusion he will use the name of R. L. Perry in his business. Mr. Perry is a graduate of New York Law School, the department from that institution. According to the Mohl he has 6 surprising knowledge of the Talmud and of the entire Jewish ritual.

THE RING and the MAN WITH SOME INCIDENTAL DELATION TO THE WOMAN BY CYRUS TOWNSEND BRADY ILLUSTRATIONS BY DERROCORN MELVIL COPYRIGHT 1849 BY RAPHNE HARRIS & COMPANY FRIDAY. AUGUST 9. 1912 A foolish young tenderfoot becomes fascinated with the bold, artful wife of a drunken prospector in a western desert, blinded by blizzard but are confronted by the maddian husband. He is shot by the wife, who is forced to the body taking the crime upon himself. In their flight to the railroad station, he sees the youth put her on his own and follows hanging to the stirrup strap. Seeking he is in an impediment to the drift and rides on. Half-frozen he stumbles into the railroad station just as the train bites the woman way. Gormly, in a laid-money in New York, he meets Eleanor Haldane, a girl and accompanies with her in her work. Gormly becomes owner of a steamship and finds himself frustrated during alarms, backed by the Gotham Traction company. An automobile accident brings the Haldane to his country to be mayor of New York and redeem the city from corruption. The political declaration of independence. The whole machinery of the city's detective force is to be used to dig up something dangerous and to fortify a gratuitous renewal of the traction franchise. Gormly offers ten million dollars for the tracherie. Haldane constructs Declaration of Independence, and makes an unexpected declaration of love. He marries the daughter of his father's connection with the Gotham Traction company, and is incensed. In an interview between the two, he offers his daughter's hand as a bribe for Gormly to withdraw. Gormly refuses. Haldane is an island of her father's banshee though Gormly wails tries to hide it. Members of the Haldine find the woman a murderer and decide to force him to withdraw under threat of prosecution. CHAPTER XVI. The Chief of Police Visits Mr. Gormly. On the evening of the second day before the election Connell, dressed in plain clothes and entirely unaccompanied, presented himself very late at night at Gormly's apartment and desired to see him. It was Somes who admitted the official. Gormly's establishment was a simple one, and the other servants had gone home for the night. Somes knew very well who he was, and while he had some of the English awe of the police he had all the hatred of a zealous and devoted partizan of his master, which he certainly was, for the enemy. Therefore he requested the functionary to take a seat while he carried the request for an interview to the library. Some entered the library without knocking, a most unusual course for him. He also took occasion to tune the key of the door behind him. Then he stood at attention in his respectful English way. Gormly had looked up instantly the door was opened, and had stopped his dictation. He was greatly surprised at the valet's entrance, and more surprised when he looked the door; but he realized that something unusual was up and said nothing. "Beg pardon, sir." began Somes depressingly, "but there's a party out in the hall wants to see you." "Who is it?" "He didn't give any name, sir, but I recognized him as the chief of police." "Yes, sir." "What does he want?" "He didn't say, sir," "What was his message?" "Just to tell you that a gentleman—that's what he called himself, sir—wanted to see you." "Where is he now." "I left him sitting out in the hall, but I wouldn't be too sure as to where he is, sir. He seemed to want to come right in here without permission, and that's why I locked the door, sir." "I see," answered Gormly, a twinkle of amusement in his eye. "I wonder what the chief of police can have to say to me? Well, I suppose I'd better see him. Chaloner, will you go into the dining room and wait until I call for you. Tell the chief to come in, names." While Chaloner gathered up his notebooks, pencils, and letters and withdrew into the dining room across the hall, Somes unlocked the door, stepped out into the hall and presently returned. He threw the door of the library open in great style, drew himself up and announced as if it had been releging prince: "The chief of police of the city of New York!" Connell glared at him suspiciously, but said nothing. He entered the room, carefully closed the door behind him, and stood facing his host. "To what," asked Gormly suavely, "am I indebted for the honor of this visit at this late hour!" He glanced at the clock as he spoke and observed that it was half-after eleven. "I've got something to say to you," began Connell briskly. "I am not aware of any intimacy between you and me, Mr. Connell, which warrants you in your familiar mode of address. Address me with decency and respect, or I'll have you put out of the house!" "Me!" roared Connell. "You'd lay hands on me, an officer of the law, in the discharge of his—" "Are you come here as an officer of the law in the discharge of your duty? If so, will you please tell me without further delay what you want, where is your warrant and incidentally inform me why you come in plain clothes?" "Never mind how I come or why I come!" said Connell wryly. "As I said, I've got something to say to you," he paused for a moment—"Mr. Gormly, if that's your name. I'm going to say it, and you're going to insult!" "Am I?" said Gormly. "You see that THE MASTER'S LOVE "And if I Do This. Asked Gormly. What Do I Get?" bell?" He pointed to one of the buttons in the big desk in the library. "I have only to press that to have two men have instantly. The three of us are quite equal to throwing you out of the apartment, and two of us, I know, would be more than willing to do it. I think I have had about enough of you, anyway." "Well, I don't leave till Ive had my say, George Purdyce!" was the answer. In spite of himself Gormly started. He co-controlled himself instantly, however. "You seem," he said coolly enough, "to have discovered my middle name, which I dropped for reasons, that seemed good to me when I came to New York." "For reasons that seemed good to you!" meered the big officer. "I guess they were good to you!" "What do you know about them?" asked Gormly quietly. "I know what they were." "And it'll be to tell me what you know that you came here tonight." "Not by any means. It's to tell you what you've got to do that I'm here." "And what have I got to do?" "You've got to withdraw from this campaign now, tonight." "And how do you propose that I should withdraw?" "Set down there and write that for business reasons you've concluded to withdraw from the campaign; that you advise your friends to vote for Pete Warren, the best mayor New York ever had; that you're convinced that you were wrong in the charges you've made; that investigation has "And if I Do This, Asked showed you that the Gotham Freight Traction company is all right and that the Sachem society is equally honorable and virtuous. You'll know how to put it. I give you: the substance. Fancy it up in your own language. You can sling words good and plenty as has been proved in this campaign. That's all you got to do. "And if I do this," asked Gormly, "what do I get?" "You'll get silence as to your doings twenty-five years ago." "Would you mind telling me what my doings were twenty-five years ago?" "Certainly not," said the chief. "No reason for concealment between you and me, that I can see. You ran away with a miner's wife out at Camp Kill Devil, Wyo. in the midst of a 'bowlin' blizzard. With the wife you took the man's pile, product of his hard-workin', toilsome life for a worthless woman and you. And before you left, you put a bullet into the man's breast. There's three counts against you; theft, 'dultery, murder. You'll make a bell of a reform mayor, won't you? How'd the people enjoy that?" "Why are you offering me anything, if you possess this power and are confident as to your information? Why don't you publish his stuff and knock me out without giving me any chance to withdraw." "See here, Gormly, it ain't for you to question: It's for you to do what you're told. We've decided that this is the way this scheme is goin' to be worked, that's all there is to it. If we have our reasons for not publishh' the stuff, why they're ours; they're not yours. "Why, man, all I've got to do is to go down to the district attorney and swear out a warrant to have you arrested for murder. We've got our fingers on the woman you run away with—and a pretty lookin' old hag she is now, too. She don't want to be mixed up in it; but we've got hold of her, and if necessary she'll swear that you done it. We've located several people that used to live in Camp Kill Devil who remember the cireum stances. One of 'em said, and the woman corroborates it, that you wrote an acknowledgment with your own hand, sayin' that you shot up the man, and you left it in the cabin. Maybe we can turn that up, too. It's all as clear as day. I don't really know why I stay here talkin' about it any longer, except I rather enjoy seein' you squirm." We have seen you squirm any yet, chief! "No, not yet; but I can imagine how you're feelin' beneath that iron composition of yours. I've had to deal with too many blackguards and criminals not to know that. Well," the man threw up his hands, laid down his cigar and yawned prodigiously. "It's gittin' late. I'll take that withdrawal and go." "Wouldn't it be better for me to have my secretary here?" said Gormly, "and dictate what I have to say. Let him make a number of carbon copies of it, so that we could send it to all the papers." "Well if you want to let your secretary in on this game, I don't see that I've got any objections," said the chief. Gormly stepped to the door. "Mr. Chaloner," he said, "will you bring your notebook and penials here? Mr. Chaloner, this is the chief of police, Mr. Connell," he continued, as the young man entered the room. "Pleased to know you," said Connell grimly. Chaloner bowed without saying anything. "Will you be seated, Mr. Chaloner, and take a statement from my dictation? By the way," he pushed a button on the desk, and the door: into the hall opened instantly, with suspicious promptness, it might have been thought, had any of the party given it any attention, "Somes," said Gormly, "I want you." The servant stepped into the room. "Lock the door, please, so that I may be sure we are not interrupted." "Now," said Gormly, "this gentleman, as you know, is the chief of police." "Yes, sir," said Somea. "He has asked me to dictate a certain statement to the people of the city of New York, and I'd like to Gormly, What Do I Get?" have you hear what I have to say and witness all that occurs." "Yes, sir." "Are you ready, Mr. Chaloner?" "Quite ready, sir." "Tonight at half after eleven o'clock," began Gormly, "the chief of police of the city of New York—" "You needn't bring me into it!" rooned Connell, sitting up. "Will you have the goodness to be silent sir?" cried Gormly. "I am distating this statement, not you!" "Well, you're going to dictate what I say," thundered the chief, slamming his big hand down on the desk, "or I'll—" "Keep back there, Somes," said Gormly sharply as the man stepped forward, his face afame. "I can deal with the man. Connell, he continued, "you are going to sit right there until I've finished with you. Now, Somes, he said, "you stand right behind him, and if he attempts to get out of his chair keep him down." "You're assaulting an officer of the law!" roared the chief, snapping his fingers. "You ought to be man enough to know that the game's against you so far," said Gormly, "and keep quiet until I get through. Then I'll give you a chance to talk. Are you ready now, Mr. Chaloner?" "Quite ready, sir," was the imperurbable answer of that most excellent young man. "I'll begin again: "Tonight at half after eleven o'clock Ben Connell, the chief of police of the city of New York, called at my apartment. He came unaccompanied and wearing plain clothes. The object of his visit was to demand of me that I should withdraw, as a candidate for the mayor of New York; that I should request the people who had honored me with their support to vote for Warren; that I should declare my belief in the integrity of the Gotham Freight Traction Company and the purity of the Sackman society of which he is an honorary member. The means by which he ought to influence me to take this course are a promise of silence as to certain episodes in my past career, and a threat of instant publicity, including a possible arrest if I refused. In the presence of my private secretary, Philip Chaloner, of my friend and servant, William Somes, and of the chief of police, Connell himself, I am dictating this statement. "Twenty-five years ago I came to New York. Since that time my career has been thoroughly exploited. The detective force of the city, supplemented by whatever talent could be procured or suborned, has had me under investigation. To not one act have they been able to point of which I am ashamed, or upon which they could fix an attack. "When I came to New York I was nineteen years of age. I was born in Vermont. I received a common school education, graduating from the high school when I was sixteen. My father died before I was born, my mother at my birth. Some small property accruing to me.was turned over to me by my guardian on my graduation from the high school. I spent two years at sea as a cabin boy, and then drifted west, finally bringing up at Kill Devil Camp in Wroming. "There I came under the influence of a woman older than I, who thought it not unbecoming to her to be bourne and entrap the young eastern tender-foot who was just entering upon his nineteenth year. I was young, inexperienced, impressionable; I fall completely under her influence. There is something to be said for her, poor woman. She was married to a drunken brute of a husband, a miner, a gambler, who was not only unfaithful to her, but who abused her frightfully. I think my sympathies more than my affections were engaged. I had a chivalric desire to help her, a boy's reverence for womankind abused and suffering, a quikotic spirit of knight errantry, of which even now I am not ashamed. "I had still some little money left, and resolved to take her away from her intolerable life. I do not wish to shelter myself behind a woman; but I have always told the people of New York the exact truth, and I am doing it now. We had planned to leave the camp on a certain night and ride south to the Union Pacific. That night was the night of the great blizzard of 1892, which is still remembered in the west. It was very late when I reached her cabin with the horses. The woman was ready for me, waiting eagerly in fact. Her husband had recently won a small sum of money by gambling. That money she took with her. "We had turned to the door to go out, although it was almost certain death to be abroad in such a storm, when her husband entered the room. How he knew, or whether he knew, what we were going to do, I cannot say. At any rate, he was there. He covered me with a gun; I was entirely helpless. He declared his intention of shooting me, and delayed only that he might enjoy what he conceived my fear of death, possibly my pleading for life. "I worked in a desperate hurry, and at last got my hand on the butt of my pistol. I saw from the look of his eye that I would have little time to draw it. I realized that unless I could I was a doomed man. At that instant there was a flash and a report in the room. Immediately after the man pulled the trigger of his own pistol, but the bullet went wild. He sank down on his knees, and fell back dying. I dropped my own weapon and bent over him. There was a hole in his breast through which the blood was oozing. "Who shot him?" growled the chief, who had been listening with the greatest absorption to the narrative. "The woman shot him," answered Gormly. "But you need not put that in, Chaloner. Let it go as I have dictated it." He resumed to his stenographer: "There was nothing that I could do for the man. It was more than ever necessary that we get away. In pity for the woman, I tore a blank leaf from a book and wrote upon it that I had shot this man. We left that note on the body and plunged into the storm. Words cannot convey the frightful nature of the tempest. We became separated in the storm through no fault of mine." The Power of Etna The eruption of Mount Etna in March has led to a study of the operations of the great Sicilian volcano which presents an imposing picture of its gigantic power. When the strain produced by the accumulating lava in the interior becomes too great to be borne, the mountain often splits open on one side, and there the molten rock pours out and flows for miles down the slope and across the adjacent country. In the eruption of 1883 the southern slope of the mountain was split, and the immense fissure has served as an outlet for the lava during several subsequent eruptions. A curious fact is that, owing to the gradual filling up of the fissure, each eruption has occurred at a greater elevation. Thus, in 1883 the outbreak occurred at an elevation of 3,440 feet; in 1886, at 4,750 feet; in 1882, at 6,000 feet, and in 1910, at 6,970 feet—Youth's Companion. At the Fire. Somebody took the rope off the bell in the fine engine house to use for a clothes line, and now, when there is a fire, the constable has to climb up into the tower and ring the bell with a hammer. Somebody took the hammer the other day, and when Hank Pudry's cornerib caught fire, the constable had to hurry down to Hillkork's store to borrow a hammer. Hikari had lent his hammer to Deacon Renfrew, who lives four miles out in the country, and by the time the constable had got there and hunted around in the barn for the hammer and got back to the engine house the angry elements had done their worst and Hank's cornerib was a mass of smoldering ruins—Basswood Bulletin.

WHAT ROOSEVELT SAYS ABOUT OUR RACE (Continued from Page One.) Ask Reading of Harris' Letter AAS RECITATION I ask you to carefully at the letter I have received have had copies of it, the letter I wrote to Julian Harris. I have just received from him an answer. Mr. Harris is a Georgian, the son of an inventor, and in this letter, in speaking of my action, Mr. Harris shows that his mind and my mind have made in the matter that I just as I would have hoped they would look at it. He writes as follows, after speaking of the new conditions it has pro- Given these conditions it will become for the first time possible that the negro who prisons and condemns will, with the cordial will of his white neighbors, do his part in both political and social work that the white man and the colored man who endeavor to make the colored man discontented with the white man and the colored man must begin to work against the colored man. We are standing against the brutality of the Invasion, the hypocrisy of the Republic, and the injustice of the majority must begin, at home. We are beginning by taking the steps to do justice to the people, to bring the standard in semi-Southern States like West Virginia and Maryland here in this convention, and to make the standard in which we can have a reasonable objection that our brethren of the South, when we no longer attempt to imprison them when it is time for us, to which we have reasonable right to shape that they themselves will come up and to form a convention from Georgia himself, we believe they will come up. Did Not Flinch Now, friends, the easy thing for me to have done in this minor error if I had been interested only in my own job, would be fearful blunders made for many years by the Republican party; to have uttered, and kept him out of the Northern delegations and brought him in from the South to him. That might have helped me; it would have helped me with the threat of honest action. It might have helped me. It would have driven it still further, and kept the white man of the South solidified in an angry vindictive defensive Alliance against the Republican party; it would have sown the seeds at the outset in this progressive party, the seeds of a flower in the Republican convention in this city six weeks ago. And the action which as far as I am able to judge my own soul I believe with all my heart of hope to the black man in the South, to the white man in the South; to the North a better chance than he has ever had before, and if I had followed, or if I had should have been in the position of indefinitely advocating for the purposes of temporality which has been followed for forty-five years in the Republican party, he is in the South, hurt the white man in the South, and finally has brought publicity itself. Oposselt Expresses His Views. NEW YORK, Aug. 2.—In a letter written to Julian Harris of Atlanta, Editor of Uncle Remu's Magazine, Colonel Roosevelt expresses his views on the position of the negro in national politics, and the representation of the negro in the convention of the Progressive Party in Chicago. In new Colonel Roosevelt's dealing with the subject of the negro in politics have been sent to me within the last few days. Those written by men living in the North usually ask to insist that we get from the South colored delegates to the National Progressive Convention. Those written by citizens of the South shall be a white man's party. I am not able to agree to either proposal. "In this country we cannot permanently succeed except upon the basis of treating each man on his worth as a man. We can treat mankind with respect, and mankind, only if we so act that the humblest among us, so long as he behaves in straight and decent fashion, has guaranteed to him under the law his right to life, his right to work, his right to enjoy the fruits of our own honest labor, and his right to the pursuit of happiness in his own way, so long as he does not trespass on the rights of others, nor us to oppress any class of our fellow citizens is not only wrong to others but unlawful to ourselves. We must believe that the progressive movement should be made from the beginning, one in the interest of every honest, industrious, law-abiding colored man, just as it is in the interest of every honest, To dodge wrecking our new Progressive Party I would not follow the methods pursued for years by the Republican and Democratic parties in the south. In the South the Democratic machine has sought to keep itself paramount by enforcing the party's policies. The Republican machine has sought to perpetuate itself by stirring up the black man against the white, and surely the time has come when we should understand the mismatch in both courses and should abandon both. Of the States of the Union where there is a considerable colored population we are able at the present moment to bring the best colored men into the movement on the same terms as the white man. In Rhode Island and Maryland, in New York and Indiana, in Ohio and Illinois, we are able to speak only of States of which I have personal knowledge, this is now being done, and from some or all of these States colored delegates will be sent to the national progressive convention in Chicago. We are hoping to see in the national progressive convention colored delegates from these states expected to develop our greatest strength. "Under existing conditions there is not and cannot be in the Southern States a party based primarily upon the negro leadership or the leadership of white men who derive their power solely from negroes. I earnestly believe that by appealing to the best, white men in the South, the men of justice and of vision, as well as of power, we can prevent the movement in their hand from the outset we shall create a situation by which the colored men of the South will ultimately get justice, as it is not possible for them to get justice if we are to continue and perpetuate the present condi- Everybody who reads magazines bays newspapers, but everybody who reads newspapers doesn't buy magazines. Catch the Drift? Here's the medium to reach the people of this community. Pretty Straw Hat Suitable for Either Late Summer or Fall A A black empire straw hat with facing of black moire. The brim slashed on the side. The hat is trimmed with wings which are visible through the opening in the brim. One of the Most Important Points to Remember in Arranging the Colfure. I will not go so far as to say that "artistic hairdressers are born, not made," says M. Calle, the well-known colfeur, in the July Strand, but let me hasten to say at once, therefore, that the arrangement of the hair is a study—not an accident, as it would seem to be regarded by those who have not studied the art of the colfeur. For example, if a woman is endowed by nature with a long face—that is to say, a face longer than that of the average woman—there is one golden rule that she must always bear in mind when arranging her hair—namely, to do it as artistically full at the side as possible—always, of course, taking care not to overdo thefulness. Again, the woman with what I think may best be described as "a round face" will be wise to keep the fulness of her hair at the side within bounds, and to dress her hair in front as high as she reasonably can, thereby adding that length to her face which she lacks. One more golden rule. The woman with a suggestion of an oval face should, as far as possible, endeavor to preserve that suggestion of "ovulness" by dressing her hair "ovally." Many years' experience has proved to me that, beyond all manner of doubt, a woman may make or mar herself by the manner in which she has her hair dressed. To the average French woman this remark will surely come more or less as a truism, for your modern French woman possesses more truly artistic instincts in this direction than the average English woman, who all too teldom studies the formation of her face when giving directions for the dressing of her hair. Brims Sweep Upward Military grows more and more entrancing every week. Several quite fresh lines of expression have been struck, and a much more reasonable attitude is observable in every way. The favorite upward sweep now is taken from a little to one side of center front, and is carried to an exceeding length, and usually finishes rather sharply. It will be gathered from this line that this is no casual uplifting of a brim, but a specially constructed skirt. Pretty Wedding Gift One of the most appreciated wedding presents of a recent bride was an attractive basket containing six glasses of assorted jellies. The glasses were daintily wrapped in white crepe paper and the basket had been treated to a coat of white enamel paint, while the handles were tied together with a bow of white ribbon through which was thrust a tiny spray of artificial grange blossoms. By No Means the Least of the Blessings of the Styles That Mark the Present Season. Let us rejoice and be glad that our garments this year are all "packable." The tub frock is a delectable thing that embraces materials of all sorts, and it can be bought very cheaply, especially when it is half made, which means that you have merely to run up the back of it with your machine after you have purchased it. Lingerie robes, sweet little frocks of Shantung with colored embroidery, muslin garments, and the others of felaine, linen and zephyr, are all alike in certain details. They are narrow and they are flat, they will pack without creasing and they take up about as much room in a traveling case as a full grown bath towel. Malty of the cheapest stuffs are among the prettiest—take, "for example, striped or cheeked zephyr. Some of the checks are quite quiet in black and white, combined with laces of blue and green, rose and PITTSBURGH COURIER Suitable for the Summer or Fall racing of black moire.

Plintucked buttie was used to build this pretty waist which buttons down the front with small white crochet buttons. An Irish lace collar finishes the neck and straps of Irish lace cross Val insertions and plintucking on the sleeve. The peph is edged with lace. Robesplierce Baby Collars Robespierre Baby Collars. The Diversity of ideas which those who cater for the nursery wardrobe seem to possess this year has been put into effect very strikingly in the case of these little coats for the baby people. The deep Robespierre collars which have been carrying all before them for the grownups in Paris are frequently to be seen tied in front with a soft bow, and a charming idea is that of scalloping the collar all round in cherry-colored thread, with a little flower spray of the same worked in each corner, the collar being held together in front with a big soft Latin Quarter bow of cherry foulard powdered with white spots. Others go even further than this, and are scalloped all around with cherry or nattier blue, the front of the coats being embroidered in the same. Lace-Trlmed Vegta Dainty underwentes of very lightweight cotton are edged at the top and around the armholes with a ruffle of fine valenciennes lace. These are not at all expensive and are soft and pretty enough to take the place of the more expensive silk undervest. green, mauve and gray, green and beige, the four tones being arranged together like a duster check. Stripes are effective in shaded lines of color, with threads of white. The popular Ottoman effects are also shown in this material in fine or pronounced stripes of color on white. Fruit Basket Quite one of the quaintest concents of the season is the fruit sachet. Instead of the little fat satin perfumed sachets to which one is accustomed one now uses small clusters of grapes in natural colors, purple and green, arranged quite flat with a circle, of small leaves around, which cherries, delicately flushed with pink, tiny apples, some quite green, others roay and greenish yellow limes, all are requisitioned. The fruit is composed of silk or velvet, hand-tinted, and is filled with sweet-smelling ground spices and perfumed powder, so that it diffuses a fragrant odor and delicately scents the ingerie or garments among which it is placed. THE BOUDOIR Dame Fashions Diary WIDE CHOICE IN COLOR BRIGHTEST TINTS ARE POPULAR THIS SEASON. Especially is the Younger Generation Favored in This Respect—Beautiful Shades of Satin for the Light Cloaks. The girl of eighteen is a very lucky individual this season. She has a range of colors from which to choose her summer attire, amongst which the most enchanting tints that are copies of flowers and fruit may be secured. Prominent in every way is a rich, full pink, the pink, of olden days, called sometimes peony and sometimes hollyhock. Freaks made all of pink mousseline blush vividly, and would be truly trying possessions for anyone except the quite youthful wearer. Every shade of azalea is greatly liked. It is a beautiful color, rich withal dainty, and a very good choice for the mother as well as the daughter. The pale amber tint fused with pink is the young wearer's choice, and the more distinct golden shade of the flower that of the dowager. In satin it is a specially beautiful dye capable of making a most desirable cloak with a softly falling collar of Mechlin lace. Such a cloak would be lined with blue and rose, and the glint of the background, just perceptible through the other material, would add to the elusive and pictureque effect of the wrap. There must be a hint of romance in the new cloaks if they are to be a la mode. Without obviously copying the Spaniard's cloak, the Scotman's plaid or the Irish colleen's all-enveloping cape, the fashionable models just suggest them. It is difficult to produce the complete charm of the folded draperies unless the aid of an expert be called in. Some of the new models owe their allurement to a long and flopping overcape, which falls upon the shoulders back and front, and is eccentricly cut across one corner, and perchance weighted by a tassel. Others have the finish of huge hood, formed with very little precision, but recognizable as a hood of large dimensions. Olive leaf is a new color for the cloak a dull and exquisite green with a fint of gray In it, which, with a little THE DRESS Printed cotton delineal in a pretty shade of pink is used, for this little dress. The bodice has one wide tuck over each shoulder and the sleeves are set into the armholes, the tucks standing out over them. The skirt is arranged in two tucks each side both front and back; it joins the bodice band, which, with the neck and sleeves, is trimmed with embroidery insertion. Materials required: $2% yards 28 inches wide 2 vards insertion. Soft Satin is Perhaps the Best Material of Which This Popular Garment Can Be Made. Then there is a type of plaited skirt which I have seen in soft satin, a material that takes the plaiting process very successfully. This was in a bright, deep shade of blue, and the plaits were all caught in at the foot beneath a broad band of black taffeta which was considerably under two yards in circumference. In a dress of this shape the difficulty is to prevent all those plaits from ballooning up and out as the wearer moves or sits about, and it would be imperatively necessary to make free use of shot all found the bottom. This is the dark side of the aisle of fashion—shot being singularly disagreeable to a walker, as they strike agains the ankles at every step. However, pride must bear pain, and those who like the plaited skirt must put up with these little drawbacks. The tailors also are using plaits, though more sparingly. They are turning out THE NEW YORKER It takes the French to make up the long wished for gown for the "Sleeper." This new gown is of Landowne, buttoning in froth, adjusted to the waist by an elastic. The belt is run through the bag and carries the brush, comb and necessary toilet articles to take to the dressing room. platinum embroidery designed to support the draperies, is a choice at once quiet and handsome—an alliance of charms much in request. Other frankly vivid colors borrowed from flowers and fruit are apple green and hawthorn rose, and we have framboise, a rich red, which is very useful side by side with black or biscut, and a particularly lovely azure called love in a mist. Such colors when softened by the fixation position of, say, biscuit linen, embroidered in relief with cotton of the same shade, or with the ever useful touch of black, will make the summer months radiant, indeed. The Ideal Bedroom. The bedroom is what its name implies. a place of repose, and everything about it should be conducive to the one purpose of obtaining rest. Everything in it should be simple, immaculate, and easily kept so. The floors of such rooms should be covered with matting or should be oiled and rugs placed beside the bed. The paper on the walls should be quiet and subdued. If, to make the windows uniform with those in other rooms in the house, curtains are necessary, they should be as simple as possible. Garish furniture, and articles not absolutely necessary to the occupant should have no place there. Above everything the bedroom should be flooded with sunshine for at least on hour in the day and an abundance of fresh air admitted at all times. Cool and Neat. Not every woman appreciates the qualities of pure white percale. This fabric is much used by trained nurses, for lightweight uniforms which may be laundered to spic and spanness with much less labor than linen requires. Percale is also cooler than linen and is much lighter in weight. For beach dresses for morning wear it is a specially satisfactory fabric and may be trimmed with stitching and buttons in smart style. A young woman who always looks as though she had stepped out of a bandbox wears nothing but white percale frocks in summer time. A loose blouse with tan open collar is trimly belted above the short, straight skirt, and buttoned boots of white buck complete the costume. Some girls who like to have a faint perfume clinging about the hair put an oblong of folded wadding, with powdered orris root scattered between, in a linen slip. This they lay on top of the ordinary pillow at night. a skirt that has a tablier back and front with two deep plats on either side, and there is another that has a group of fat wide plats at the back only, starting from about the height of the knees; so you see, if you want, to return to the wide skirt, there is nothing to prevent you; the mode of the moment permits every vagary. —Baltimore American.

"How are you on ancient history?" inquired the Wood street man. "Fine," declared the sage of Smithfield street. "Ask me anything you want to know. "I was trying to recall the facts about those geese that cackled and thus save Rome." "I remember the episode. You see, Rome was a very rich city in ancient days, filled with gold and precious stones. Some invaders had gathered in hopes of getting big loot." "I see." "But when they heard the geese cackling, they thought they'd better grab the geese and let the gold go. The cost of living was just as high then as it is now." "I comprehend." "They made off with the geese and thus Rome was saved."—Pittsburgh Post. Definition of the Beau A beau 'is one who arranges his curled locks gracefully, who ever smells of balms and cinnamon, who hums the songs of the Nile and Cadis, who throws his sleek arms into various attitudes, who idles away the whole day among the chairs of the ladies, who is ever whispering in some one's ear, who reads little billetdoux from this quarter and that, and writes them in return; who avoids ruffling his dress by contact with his neighbor's sleeve, who knows with whom everybody is in love; who flutters from feast to feast; who can recount exactly the pedigree of Hirpinus. What do you tell me, is this a bean, Cotilus? Then a beau, Cotilus, is a very trifling thing. Pennsylvania (By Helen Frye.) Sunday was a lovely day for churchgoers.

PITTSBURGH COURIER It may or may not be, generally known, but is nevertheless true, that the lowest form of negro life (morally) is found on large plantations where hundreds of negroes are grouped and worked from generation to generation. Conditions on many such farms indicate that the great mass of negroes there are not only immoral, but unmoral. Our uplift leaders find it more convenient to collect money to send to Africa than to attack these "little Africas" right at our doors. Occasionally some preacher finds himself sent out to some of these big plantations, and is afraid to cry aloud against the corrupt life we finds there —we have never produced any pulp martyrs! Hence, the problem remains untouched. The Interstate Reporter touches upon this phase of negro life in a recent issue, and shows how the negro is protected in this sort of living. It says: "On some plantations owned by rich white men, a negro can do anything he wants, if he is a good hand, and the plantation owner will see to it that he is not molested. This kind of thing is as much against the best interest of the negro race as any other evil that exists within the race; that is not the way to protect him, when he is wrong; he should be allowed to pay the penalty of his wrong-doing. The negroes on some of these farms are allowed to shoot one another, separate one another from their wives or husbands, and if the one who is guilty of this kind of crime is a good hand he is allowed to go unpunished. This kind of protection is keeping the race down and making criminals of them. But the kind of protection the negro needs is to give him a fair and impartial trial when he is accused, the same as the law demands for white men, and if he is found guilty according to the law and evidence, let him suffer the penalty of the law, and not protect him just because he is a good hand." Despite the fact that Chicago is a "wide open" city, there are hundreds and hundreds of young men here that are living decient and clean lives and are not going on daily blindfolded into the pits of immorality. There are ten or more social clubs here that have for their aim the moral, social and intellectual betterment of their lives. They are members of the various Sunday schools, Y. M. C. A. and churches. They are business and professional men, clerks, carriers, and others engaged in other walks of life that require honesty, sobriety and intelligence. There is no doubt about the shiftless class that hang around the corners and in bar rooms—they are here, too, in great numbers, much to our regret—Illinois Chronicle. The first annual meeting of the negro business leagues of the state of Kansas was held at Topeka, convening at St. John A. M. E. church. The following officers were elected: John M. Wright, Topeka, president; W. H. Cole, Newton, vice-president; William Armstrong, Garnett, treasurer; Fred Roundtree, Topeka, auditor; L. F. Byron, Newton, secretary. Executive committee—Charles Whitney, Topeka; W. C. Brown, Lawrence; J. G. Groves, Edwardsville; E. P. Blakemere, Witchita; T. W. Bell, Leavenworth; Prof. H. T. Keating, Quindale; Foster Williams, Coffeyville; W. W. Shobe, Salina. The next meeting of the state body will be in February, 1913, at Topeka. Booker T. Washington returned to his Tuskegee school after delivering addresses in cities in Massachusetts, Maine and New Jersey. During the course of his trip, he spoke under the following auspices: On January 21, at St. John's Congregational church, a colored congregation, and at Unity church, a white congregation, Springfield, Mass; on January 22, before the Hampton club, Springfield, Mass; at the Friends' church, Boxbury Mass; on January 23, at the Robert Gould Shaw Colored Settlement house, Boston; on January 24, at the meeting of the Boston Local Negro Business Men's league; on January 25, before the Men's club of the Congregational church, West Newton, Mass; on January 26, at Bowdow college, Brunswick, Me., and Bates college, Lewiston, Me.; on January 28, at United church, a white congregation, and also St. Mark's Methodist Episcopal church, a colored congregation, at Montclair, N. J.—a busy program for a week. Sleeping in a bed of pansies might be a flowery bed of ease, and then again it mightn't. Discussing the gloomy outlook for a "white man's hope" in the pugilistic world, a London paper says: "We want a real good man, too, and we want him badly. With Sam McVey making an almost even break of it with Langford, the four-top places must be readily conceded to the representatives of the colored race—Jack Johnson, Sam Langford, Sam McVey and Joe Jeennettte. Langford would appear, from the reports of his recent sight in Paris, to have been far below his usual form, and McVey is said to have appeared stale and overtimed." John Patrick, a chief gunner's mate in the United States navy, re-elisted on board the U. S. S. Franklin at a monthly rate of $100.31. Patrick is a negro and has had over twenty-seven years' service. He will soon be eligible to retire on a handsome annuity. Mr. C. S. A. Baker, a colored man of Detroit, Mich., has sold his patent of a friction heater for street cars to a Canadian company for $160,000. Baker conducted his experiments on street car in Detroit, Mich. Herein lies the hope of every nation and people since the world began. Because "The Sum of Righteousness" shines nations advance in learning, in science, in art, in invention, in exploration and discovery and in wealth. Every law is subservient to the great law of righteousness, and when nations or men forsake that law they come to the worst. The law of righteousness knows no color or caste, no social superiority or political inequality. It is the law for the government of all men, and "love is the fulfilling of" that "law." This unbiased law finds explanation in a few words: "Whatsoever ye would that man should do to you, do ye even so to them." This is the "righteousness of faith" and in this righteousness alone is the hope of the nero. The negro must not be allured into the belief that the salvation of the race is in the possession of houses and lands, or in education and social advancement. These are all important and are excellent as stepping stones to self-respect, but unless he seeks righteousness, as a race he is doomed to utter failure. The words of Robert Burns concerning happiness will well apply in the case of the negro's hope: "Tis not in title, nor in rank, Tis not in wealth like London's Bank To purchase peace and rest; If hauntness has not her seat And center in the breast. We may be wise, or rich, or great. But never can be blest." The negro must be an unright and loyal citizen because the King of Righteousness requires it; not a criminal evading the law, but an honest man, fearing God and "doing the will of Christ" as he knows it. He must even feel that "the laws which be are ordained of God," and that those who administer them are "ministers of God." In conformity to this requirement the negro's hope is sure. —Southern Ploughman. Do not forget the negro business man. The negro bank too should not be neglected...Colored Alabaman. Steps are being taken by a number of prominent citizens of Seattle, Wash., to obtain a Carnegie hero medal for Newton Johns, the colored boothblack, who at imminent risk of drowning saved the lives of eight people at the Colman Dock accident. Carnegie's secretary will be communicated with in connection with the matter immediately. Johns has consistently refused to accept any remuneration for his heroic services, but his friends have insisted on giving a benefit for his aged mother, who is solely supported by her courageous son. The benefit will take place at Arcade Hall, the musical program being interspersed by a speech in which Johns will tell his own story of the tragedy. The hero will be introduced by Mayor George F. Cotterill. After the musical program is concluded the evening will be devoted to dancing. The fund raised will be turned over to the Seattle Commercial club, which will use it as a nucleus to build a home for Johns' aged parents. "A majority of our educated people should remain on the farm and lift up the home life of the masses in that place where they can be independent."—R. S. Lovinggood, President Sam Houston College; Austin, Tex. Every colored man nowadays is a supporter of race enterprise—with his mouth. We have right here in this city negro professional and tradesmen, keepers of shops, warees, etc., men playing at the game of business in a small way, and who in large measure must depend upon their own race for support, who never think of their duty to colored. enterprise while they have money. If perchance their money gives out and they can secure something on credit from their brother, in black, all well; otherwise nothing doing. This element of the colored race need to be pitied rather than abused, for notwithstanding many of them can read and write, they are fools and do not know it. Let us learn a lesson from the lower order of creation. Even the insects and the birds of passage have more sense than the average American negro. Get together, not in strife, prejudice nor unlawfulness, but along broad lines. Let us cease so much talk and remember that "it takes money to buy land." Dallas Express. When a selfish motive drives there is bound to be a wreck on the road. $\theta$ As a result of a recent election held by the Minnesota State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs which met in St. Paul, Minn., Mrs. W. T. Francis was unanimously chosen president, to succeed Mrs. I. E. Gibba, who was made honorary president. Mrs. Francis, who is well-known in the east, is one of the younger club workers, which emphasizes the fact that her ability to lead the forces is recognized as a more important factor than experience. The program of the Minnesota Federation is an exhibition of up-to-date club work. Although the colored delegates to the Chicago convention had offers of money to violate their instructions, they stood firm. They were as a whole men of courage and intelligence. Well may Cyrus Field Adams say, "The colored delegates demonstrated to the world that their honor is unpurchasable." New York is look askance at us now. It is in Chicago that the negro business man is most felt, he is energetic, ambitious and keeps abrupt of the times—Chicago Defender. CHURCH NOTICES Bethel A. M. E. Church.

[Silhouette of a man in a cap and shorts, holding a hat.] Marty O'Toole, $25,000 Pittsburgh Beauty. "Marty O'Toole," says Hank O'Day, manager of the Cincinnati Reds, "has a spitball that breaks something like Walsh's, but he has nowhere near as much speed nor anything like as good control, and yet he is getting more strikeouts—getting them against good batters, too. Rather hard to figure, but he's getting away with it in clever style." Notwithstanding the Reds can't understand how O'Toole gets away with it, it is probable that he will be a successful pitcher unless something happens to his arm. There is no greater pitcher than Ed Walsh of the Chicago Americana, and in intelligence Big Ed also ranks high. gents gone in the catcher muffed a four only held the leather meant another out an hit game against the gave the batsman of He dumped a roller had a hard play to his man. The scorer "Elmer Stricklett" ball in 1904; I swipe Elmer and have been ever since. Now I spitball down finer man in the game." C "Big Ed" Walsh. He says the spitball is and will continue to be the most effective ball a pitcher can throw. One can understand how OTcole could fan Bessher (a star hitter on the Cincinnati team), three times straight, and also make every other man on the team miss them after reading what Walsh says he can do to such hitters as Cobb, Crawford and Jackson, the stars of the American league. The White Sox twirler says: "When I've got my spitter breaking right I can beat and ball club in the world. No use trying to bat against it, it's simply unifiable. Larry Lajoie, Ty Cobb and other hitting stars of the American league will tell you the same story. Ask Lajoie about the time I fanned him in Cleveland with the American league championship at stake. The splitter is a terror when it works right. One day I had Detroit in the nine-hole, and you know the Tigers are some hitters. I think Cobb and Crawford are two of the greatest strikers the game over produced. The splitter had them all standing on their hands. Neither Ty nor Sam could get it out of the infield. I held them hitch for eight rounds and had two EIGHT gents gone in the ninth when my catcher muffed a foul tip. If he had only held the leather it would have meant another out and given me a no-hit game against the Tigers. The muff gave the batsman one more chance. He dumped a roller to Tannheh, who had a hard play to make and missed his man. The scorer called it a hit. "Elmer Stricklett invented the spitball in 1904; I swiped the idea from Elmer and have been perfecting it ever since. Now I think I've got the spitball down finer than any other man in the game." STORIES OF THE DIAMOND John Titus is just slamming that old globule for the Boston Braves. Cleveland has grabbed from its Toledo farm Outfelder Arthur Hauger. This Speaker is 23 years old. Five years ago he cost the Boston management $800. Pitcher Collins of Vanderbilt fame is desired by Clark Griffith for the Washington club. Last year fans stopped going to games in St. Louis. This year there aren't any fans there. Ray Caldwell's bad arm is still bad and it may be a long time before he will pitch any real ball. Never has Charlie Wagner's work with the Boston Red Sox been more brilliant than at present. Boston—first in the Amefican, last in the National! New York—first in the National, last in the American! Dave Altizer was treated to, a fine of $50 for jawing with a spectator in a recent American association game. President Frank Navin of the Tigers is willing to spend $50,000 to build up the Tigers so that they can win the pennant next season. They call Mr. Marququard Rube, but he has demonstrated that he is not entirely unsophisticated in the art of pitching. First Baseman Daubert and Pitcher Nap Rucker are regarded as practically the entire Brooklyn team by critics in the other cities. Boston Red Sox quartet is looking for a new barrystone. Hugh Bradley has been sent to the International league. Indianapolis and Milwaukee wanted Jack Knight, but the Washington team decided to keep the dentist in the Eastern league. Christy Mathewson, the premier pitcher of the New York Giants for the last ten years, considers the Cubs dangerous, and says that they still are in the pennant fight. Lee Magee by faithful work and strict attention to business has earned a place as a regular with the Cardinals, having taken Rube Ellis' place in left field. Cliff Curtiss, formerly of the Cubs, is now a member of the Brooklyn team. Cliff has made nearly all of the stops in the league for he was with Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia, and Brooklyn. New York Giants Cannot Be Depended Upon to Win Pennant—Case of Detroit Tigers. Nothing in baseball can be taken for granted. Not even the Giants—though they appear just at present to be the real class of their league, superior in ability and condition, fortified as no other team has ever been before with substitutes as good as their regulars, a perfect baseball machine, every department intact and with a manager second to none in knowledge of the up-to-date game and ability to handle men—can be put down with absolute surety to be the ones to go under the surety in the lead. The case of the Detroit Tigers last season affords a convincing illustration of how suddenly the bottom drops out of a fabric woven with baseball threads. It may look strong and supply enough to stand any kind of a strain, but the old baseball thread was never known to be reliable enough to bank on to the very limit of endurance, and the Tiger fabric was interwoven with the same old threads of uncertainty, and collapsed. The Giants' fabric seems right now to be much stronger than was the Tigers' of last season, but— All of the present Giant players, with the exception of Mathewsson, Wiltse and Ames, got the first whiff in their nostrils of the delightful aroma that is thrown off by the "long green" that goes to the men who participate in world's series games. That fragrance still lingers with them and has made them rabidly hungry for another smell of the financial joy fluid that will go with the world's serice this fall. They are more than anxious to become saturated again with the additional fragrance of glory and honors and money that is only to be obtained by the plucking of the rose that is emblematic of the baseball championship of the universe. This is their one ambition now and they are after it: hotfoot and with confidence. Then, again, a trip around the world after the season is finished is another probable reward that will accrue to the winners of the National league pennant, and that is another big inducement for them to put forth their best efforts from start to finish of this race. Arrangements for such a trip have gone so far and have been so well perfected that it is virtually assured. Even the money for it has been guar anteed—furnished, in fact. PLAYERS RECALL OLD TIMES Frank Smith and Harry Gaspar, Former Cincinnati Pitchers, Delay Game to Talk. Frank Smith and Harry Gaspar pitched a game against each other at Montreal the other day. There was nothing the matter with the pitching—both were in good form and showed all sorts of class—but the game was prolonged way into darkness because Harry and Frank wanted to exchange so many reminiscences of Cincinnati days. Once, when Smith was at bat, Harry came in to hold a gabfest, and they talked for 17 minutes about the good time they had with the Reds. Then they switched into opinions concerning H O'Day and the chances of the Reds C Frank Smith. till the umpire finally had to pull a watch and give them one minute to go on with the game. Even then he couldn't stop them, and was up a tree, for the simple reason that, as they were on different clubs, one with Montreal and the other with Toronto, he couldn't decide which one to penalize and which one to forfeit the game to. Injury to Harry Wolter Harry Wolter, the Highlanders' star outfielder, is still on crutches and will not play again this year. His leg is broken just below the knee, while the ligaments of the ankle are badly torn. Wolter will draw full play and the club will settle the doctors' bills. He hobbles to American League park every day to see the game from the center field seats. Wolter's absence from the team practically all season has been a treemindous handicap, and Manager Wolter says it will be impossible to find his equal. Baker Becoming Famous. Secretary John Shine of the Athletics is thinking of getting out big posters to advertise the coming of one J. Franklin Baker. The famous home-run maker is one of the biggest attractions in baseball everywhere he goes, this year. Carl Nichols of the Framingham, Mass., high school team recently pitched his third no-hit game of the season. It is presumed that Connie Mack has signed him by this time.

Concluding he said he hoped our stay in the city would be a pleasant one and above all things, remain and continue permitted. The remarks of Director Porter were responded to by Prof. Thomas H. Brown of Vanderbilt, Pa., in a most eloquent manner and both the remarks of Director Porter and Prof. Brown were enthusiastically received. Others who made addresses were Hon. Harry W. Bass on the behalf of the order and the Afro-American citizens of Philadelphia. He was responded to by W. L. Winston, G. K. of R. and Seal, of Uniontown, Pa. Wednesday fully 2,000 took part in the grand street parade through the central part of the city, ending up at Washington park where the uniform companies gave an exhibition drill. Over 6,000 attended. The report of Director Porter S. E. J. Waring of the endowment department, which was started two and one-half years ago, had total receipts amounting to $14,255.5; total disbursements amounted to $1,055.04; leaving a cash balance on hand of $9,239.94. Every claim that was due to July 1 paid up in full. The G. K. of R. and S., W. S. Winston, report showed that the order has increased largely in the last year, having added five new lodges with a membership of 600. At the last grand lodge session held in Pittsburgh, July 1911, the Grand Chancellor, Sir B. G. Collier, recommended the creating of a Pythian Commission for the purpose of purchasing a farm to cost $10,000. The Grand Lodge adopted the recommendation. The secretary of the home commission board, Sir T. H. Brown reported that during the year beginning August 1, 1911 and ending July 31, 1912, the assessments of 5 cents per month from each night in the jurisdiction amounted to over sixty. It is the intention of the beloved Grand Chancellor to be able to purchase the home this fall. Should lodges respond as well as they have in the past. Some prominent knights among the hundreds of delegates attending the convention and assisting the Grand Chancellor in the year to accomplish so much for the order ar: R. A. Cooper, director endowment board and the sole Afro-American Common Councilman of the city; Harry Serroggins, Colonel Second Regiment of this city; H. H. Brown, secretary; Pythians home commission of Vanderbilt; J. B. Jones, Grand V. C. Pittsburgh, Pa.; Rev. R. C. Fox, Pittsburgh; W. D. Garnes, G. M. of Exch. of Uniontown; W. L. Winston, G. K. of R. & S., of Uniontown; Dr. Samuel Howard of Braddock; J. H. Irwin, treasurer home commission, a prominent undertaker of Philadelphia; David Fown, Grand M. at Arms of Carnegie, Pa.; Grand Trustee L. P. Jackson of Pittsburgh; Warrick Anderson of Greensburg, L. D. Downey, Philadelphia, and Rev. J. M. Palmer. All the grand officers were re-elected except Jones, G. V. C., who was succeeded by Rev. Lomax of Brownsville; Rev. R. C. Fox, G. Prelate by J. M. Palmer of Chester; Sir Brown of Sewickley, outer guard, to succeed Rev. Palmer. This session of the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania has spoken by its votes for Grand Chancellor in the person of B. G. Collier, that he is the leader and as such he will lead the Pythian host of Pennsylvania another year. The sixth annual session of the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania goes down in history the most harmonious session ever held. Du Bois' Name Used Without Authority Dr. W. E. Burghardt Du Bols, editor of the Crisis Magazine in New York, declares that in no sense was he a candidate for the presidency of Howard university. He says that the use of his name was unauthorized and that he would not have accepted the position in the improbable event of its having been offered by him.
