THE PITTSBURGH COURIER The Paper That Promotes Progress SOME FACTS TOUCHING OLD RACIAL RELATIONS Colored Woman Kept House for President by Whom She Had Two Daughters The follipwing paragraphs from the unexpurgated copy of William Wells Brown's book, "Clotel," may hold some interest for the curious: "In her younger days Currer had been the housekeeper of a young slaveholder, but of later years had been a tundress or washerwoman and was considered to be a woman of great taste in getting up linen. "The gentleman for whom she had kept house was Mr. Thomas Jefferson, by whom she had two daughters. Jefferson being called to Washington to fill a government appointment, Currer was left behind and thus took herself to the business of washing, by which means she paid her master, Mr. Graves, and supported uself and two children." The names of these girls were Althesa and Clotel, daughters by a colored woman of a president of the United States. There is another instance of record where a vice president of the United States, Johnson of Kentucky, who married a colored woman by whom he had two daughters, who were sent to Oberlin college to be educated. There are other instances, but let these suffice for the present. "Clotel" was published in London in the year 1853. An American edition was published almost simultaneously. The English edition contains 245 pages, the American edition about 156 or 170 pages. The original manuscript of Volney's "Ruins of Empire" was casculated in similar fashion by supersensitive American critics. The Negro Society For Historical Research in Yonkers. N. Y., possesses original copies of both these works. HISTORICAL SOCIETY ISSUES NEW MAGAZINE The August issue of the Presbyterian, a monthly journal of some twenty pages, published under the auspices of the New York Historical and Literary society of the St. James' Presbyterian church in New York, is a souvenir number. The front cover is adorned with a picture of the church, and the frontispiece has the likeness of Mrs. W. R. Lawton, wife of the pastor of the church. The leading article gives a brief account of the conference of Workers Among Girls, of which Mrs. Lawton is chairman. The Presbyterian is the organ of the church and society. It contains a summary of the past year's movements of the literary society, its present plans and future aspirations. It is illustrated from photographs of the many men and women who have taken part in the work during the year.

MYRTLE PAGE DIES AFTER A LINGERING ILLNESS Deceased Was Prominent in Social Settlement and Club Work Among Women Mrs. Myrleie Lett Page, wife of Wm. N. Page, Manager of Fitsburg Courer, departed this August 11, at the early age of thirty-eight years after a misguided illness of several weeks. She was born in Zanesville, O. in the year 1871, being the oldest daughter of Same, and Janet Lett, one of the oldest and most prominent families of Zanesville. She received her early training in the public and High schools of Zanesville, and equipped herself with a post-graduate course in the Commercial College of the same city. She was an efficient stographer and bookkeeper, and as such held noteworthy positions in the business offices of large establishments both in Zanesville and Pittsburgh, privileges to her marriage. At an early age she was converted to the Christian religion and has ever since been an active member in the Methodist Episcopal church, and leading an exemplary life in her community. In the year 1881 she was married to Mr. Wm. N. Page, and to this happy union was both one child, Mabel, who is now seven years of age. She is the first cousin of Mrs. C. W. Posey, with whom she made her home for eight years prior to her marriage to Mr. Page. MPS MYRTLE LETT PAGE. During her life in Pittsburgh, as well as in Zanesville, she was found among the promoters of social settlement and charity work. She was practically the founder of the Charity club, and a late contributor to the Davis Pay Nurturing both of which have proven valuable assets to Pitis beach and its community. Nor was she lacking in executive ability. In addition to the management of her well kept home she devoted much time and assistance to her husband during the country life and struggles of the First World War. She is survived by her husband, Wm. N. P. Pearl and daughter, Mabel Fence of Plymouth and Mrs. Marla Larkin of Bristol. Ms. Vivian a descendant of Zemeshil 10. * Funeral services were held on Thursday evening at S o'clock at her home on the Southampton street, Knoxville. In her last life at Knoxville she left behind her PITTSBURG PA., AUGUST 16, 1912. Newport News, Va.-With rare inc and force Dr. Booker T. Washington, who is a master in handling men and solving difficult problems, recently spoke to a large group of colored men and boys who are employed at good wages by the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock company. Dr. Washington spoke very plainly on the subject of colored men and boys attending more strictly to their work. There is a distinct need of having the 2,250 colored men and boys co-operate with the general manager, Homer L. Ferguson, and other officers of the great shipbuilding plant, who have clearly shown, even under the most trying conditions, their desire to give the colored workers a square deal. The question to be settled has not been one of hours and wages, but of getting them to work regularly. A group of colored men from Newport News, headed by Walter K. Jones, who has the respect and confidence of white and colored people alike, brought the matter before Major R. R. Moton of Hampton Institute, and be in turn secured the good offices of Dr. Washington in bringing the problem fairly and squarely before the colored workers in the shipyard and those who could bring unusual influence to bear upon them. Dr. Washington outlined the condition of workingmen in southern Europe. He told graphically the story of his trip through Europe and his experience with men and women who were poorly fed, poorly clothed, poorly housed and poorly paid for their laborious services. He showed by contrast how much better off are the Negroes of America, who do not have to seek work and who with thrift can improve their economic condition. The Newport News shipyard pays weekly to colored workers $25,000. This fact shows the important economic reason for Dr. Washington encouraging the colored workers to stick to their jobs and, instead of recklessly and foolishly spending their good wages, build better homes and churches. An eloquent appeal was made by Dr. Washington, who through actual experience knows the hardships of an uphill struggle. He urged the colored people to do their full duty and more than they were being paid for, to keep their word, to put heart and conscience into their work to cooperate heartily with those in authority and to cultivate civic pride. He called upon the white people to exercise more patience with the colored people with whom they deal, for after all the American Negro is a loyal, Christian American citizen. He asked that the colored men and boys of the shipper be given the opportunity of making a new start. The eyes of the colored people throughout the United States are turned upon the men and boys who have in their grasp the success or failure of many of their fellow in industrial life. Everybody is doing it. What? Why reading the Courier. Rise of Dr. Sadie F. Porter, o Memphis, Tenn., As a Race Benefactress Memphis, Tenn.-For genuine, sterling success of the variety that is attained only by hard work and thoroughness in every detail is in every way applicable to Dr. Sadie F. Porter of this city. She is a native of St. Louis, Mo., and was left an orphan at an early age. Through the kind benevolence of a white woman who adopted her she was reared to womanhood. Dr. Porter is in many respects what the world is pleased to call a self made woman. Deprived of parental care and advice in early life, she learned the lesson of self help and individual effort up through many hard struggles. The friend by whom she was adopted was a physician, so that it T was quite natural that Dr. Porter's trend of mind would lead toward the medical profession. The success which Dr. Porter is having now is nothing like as interesting to those who are familiar with her even tenor of life as the fact of how, almost single handed, she made her way up from obscurity to prominence in a profession in which not so many women of the race are represented. Within ten years she has built up a large clientele. There are few cities or towns in Tennessee of any considerable size in which Dr. Porter is not known. For a time she was located in Nashville, but as her practice grew she found that Memphis would be a more convenient center from which to reach the larger number of those who desired her services. In religious circles she is well known and bears the reputation of a woman of strong integrity and devotion to racial advancement. Always generous, sympathetic and kind, she has a host of friends, who lavish upon her their confidence and esteem. Perhaps no other factor is more necessary in the struggles of a race than individual effort. On this no doubt depend in a large measure the solidarity and hope of the masses. The achievements of the race thus far have been remarkable. The interest which the women have taken has been a potent factor in every movement for betterment. Their clubs, mutual benefit societies and religious organizations have been the leaven in the lump by which our home life has been kept active and secure. WELL KNOWN WOMAN DIED AT THE AGE OF 88 WELL KNOWN WOMAN DIED AT THE AGE OF 88 Mrs. Mary Woodson McGuire, one of the oldest members of one o. the oldest families in Pittsburgh and vicinity, departed this life last Sunday at her home in Woods Run, North Side, at the age of 55 years. After a lingering illness of several months, death has removed a most highly respected woman from earthly scenes to the reams of glory. She was closely related to many of the very best families of this section. Hosts of relatives and friends attended the general services at her late residence in Woods Run, Wednesday, August 14, which was conducted by Rev. A. Wakefield of Avery Zion church, assisted by Rev. P. A. Scott of Bethel A. M. F. Church, Rev. C. H. Trusts, Grate, The Lutheran church and Rev. Woods of St. Augustine's Episcopal church, all paid beaten to the deceased. She attended the services and friends at the previous church. Now at the home in Tuscaloosa, right at Woods Run, North Side, on 20th Street, Woods Run continues the Holy Sacrament in preparation for the next having been observed a month. The p is coming down, but the t is growing every day. Have it to your home in town or out of town. It costs the same. MYSTIC-SHRINERS TO HOLD A CONVENTION GLASS CITY LODGE No. 4392 G.U.O.ofO.F.

Chaloner picked up his pencil. “What {s the oath? “Allow me to dictate it,” said Gorm- y. “I, William Somes, do solemnly ‘swear that at half after eleven o'clock tonight { admitted to the apartments of Mr. rge Gormly, in whose em- PloyT ai, one Ben Connell, to me known to be the chief of police of the city of New York; that on receiving permission, I ushered said Connell in- to the library, where he had an inter- view with the sald George Gormly: that from my position outside in the ball I heard every roe offaid inter- view; that it took plate exactly as it Bissiaperi in the statement of said ge Gormly; that the chief of po- lice did offer to suppress the story if said Gormly would withdraw from the campaign.” “That covers ft, I think.” “Yes, sir.

By this time Chaloner had fintshed one batch of the statements. With- out » word Gormly took one and hand- ed it to the young man. He read it through with staring eyes. “You are going to send this out?” “Instantly.” “it's the bravest thing Ivever saw done.” “It has to be,” sald Gormly. “What will be tho result of it on the peo- ple?” “It T can judge by myself, tt will settle the question forever in your favor.” | “Then you don't withdraw from me because—" “T am not the withdrawing: kind,” said Heldane, “You're a man through and through. You gave me a new hold on life, @ new interest. You have made something pf me. I am going to stick by you to.the very end. Let me get my slgnature on that thing. I want to testify that I saw the chief of police here, and that I know from what he sald in my presence that what you say ts true. They will see that the Haldanes are divided, and that those on your side are not afraid or ashamed to support you." “T can never be grateful enough tc “That's all right,” said the young man, walking over to where Chaloner sat and dictating & line or two to be added to the statements, “Do you know,” said Gormls, “1 don't think we're out of the woode yet. I believe that blackguard is ca. pable of surrounding the house and preventing the delivery of any of these letters to the papers.” “What good would that do him?" | “It would gtve him time.” “Give me what you have written,” sald Haldane. “My car's down below. He won't bave had time to do any- thing yet." He picked up the chiefs Pistol. “Give me this, too, and if any- body stops me, it won't be s bappy thing for him.” “Good,” said Gormly, taking the first batch. He marked them for the most important of the morniag pe- pers. “If you can deliver these, we'll chance the rest. Ill send the others out by Somes and Chaloner.” “Have you any objection.” said Haldane, as be picked up”the batch of papers and buttoned his cost, “to my tellitig Eleanor?” “L wish you waquld do so. You will confer a favor on me by doing it im mediately.” “I will, Jove! wasn't it lucky that I heart this from my father ‘tonight and came down here to warn you? Goofby. We'll win yet.” He wrung the other's hand and darted from the room. As he stepped into his car ‘a number of men turned into thg street and approached the Nouse. UThere were officers among them, but most of them wore plain clothes. Hey, stop that car!” roared a deep rofce which Haldane recognized as that of Connell Gorm!y's suspicions were justified. PITTSBURGH COURIER ‘The car had already fortunately start. ed when one or two men leaped at him, One of them gained a footing ‘on the car. With one band Haldane threw on the high speed, with the other he shoved the pistol in the man’s face. The man fell back. The car leaped suddenly forward. The chance was gone. | A moment after Gormly himself ‘came out of the street door. The men were huddled in front of the apart ment house. He could~hear Connell cursing terribly, \ “Ab, chief,” said he urbdnely, *un- fortunately you were too fiate.” Tho frat batch of coptes has gone by the hands of Mr. Haldane i that car. Good-night, gentlemen.” j He turned and walked ack to the hallway and took the siévator to his own apartment. He bad put @ bold face upon the whole matter. He bad taken the brave, the wise, course, which after all was the only pradent course to take. He bad not weakened under the tremendous presaure of the situation for a single instant. He had borne himself with amazing coolness and courage. Yot the man was absolute ty stricken to the heart. What the effect of the disclosures would be up- on the campaign, how the people Would receive it, whether or not he would lose thelr confidence, whether or not the honorable reputation he had built up by years of just abd gen- erous dealing, would vanish, he could not tell; and to be truthful, at that moment, these questions were not the chief of those which filled bis heart. He asked-himeelf how Eleanor Hal- dane would recetve the disclosure, and what effect It would have upon her. Although: she had been overwhelmed by the revelation of her father’s po- ition, Gormly had learned from young Haldane that be had not there- by forfelted her regard. Now what difference would this make to-her? She bed sald several times that what she admired in him was his splendid record, his unblem- ished honor, bis unspotted past. And now what would she think? He might have made his defense stronger. He might have said that the woman h&G shot the man Ho might have declared her abandonment of him in the snow storm, her leaving him to die, He might have pointed out that he had assumed the guilt to shelter her; but chivalry was strong in Gormly. "4 He thought @ long time about the situation, plunging in deeper and, deeper gloom and sadness as a hours dragged by. At last he aban- doned all hope of ever winning tho woman that he loved. Well, he would Jovoto himself with more singleness of heart on that account to the in- jerest of the people; if indeed, atter chis, they still thought him worthy of leadership and service.

In baseball and foot ball, he points out that they are play ed for money, and he says the efforts to get a paying crowd would shame the energy of the clrous proprietor.

Once again the Grim Reaper, that unwelcome but ever persistent guest, has visited us and taken from our midst one of our most treasured jewels in the person of Mrs. Myrtle Tle Page, congenial companion of Wm. N. Pare, our business manager. While her illness has been a protracted one and her suffering severe, we had hoped for her recovery and a complete restoration to health and activity. But our hopes have been absorbed in the will of Him who gives Him who takes, and it becomes us to acquiesce in obedience to that divine injunction which bids us rejoice at the outgoing and weep at the incoming. In her home Mrs. Page was a conceded mistress; for certainly Pittsburgh does not boast of a better regulated home than that presided over by our departed friend. In her community she has made herself felt for worlds of good; her influence was an ever present agency in behalf of those less favored than herself. To her must be ascribed the honor of organizing and fostering some of the most wholesome agencies for good in our great community. Perhaps the most striking example of her altruistic spirit may be found in the Charity Club, which owes to her more than to any other individual its existence and acce In her we found the highest type of noble womanhood; a wife in the fullest sense, and an ideal mother. Her multitude of friends will suffer greatest in their loss of so noble an example; while her family and surviving dear ones may find it exceedingly hard to be come reconciled. We recommend her grief stricken family to the tender care and provision of Him who has seen best to so afflict them. DEAR OLD GEORGIA Georgia has come forward with another demonstration of barbarity in the form of a lynching. After the jury had found the Negro guilty of "unlawful manslaughter" and the judge had sentenced him to three years in prison, the mob—a Georgia mob—declared the findings of the jury and the Court insufficient to satisfy their conception of the penalty, which should be imposed and proceeded to overpower the Court officials—which was quite a task—and took the Negro to the outskirts of the city of Columbus and lynched him. And what about it? What will be done? Why they are going to investigate the case. This in view of the fact that the mobs wore no masks nor were they careful to hide their identity from the spectators. The investigation will follow the we'll beaten paths of former investigations which have been held with similar results. Nothing will be done, though these brutes are clearly in contempt of Court. This is an illustration of the spirit of the much lauded New South, with new ideals. Judging from this heathenish and barbaric display of new ideals, the country would be far better without any South to drag the remaining portion of the country to shame and ridicule. And there is another phase of the case. What will be done about the contempt perpetrated right in the face of the Court? Many of the mob leaders were called by name and certainly are known to the officials of the Court. Something must be done to sustain the dignity and respect of the Courts or the whole country will large into savagery. If the white man of the South decides to ignore his Courts the Negro just as well do the same and prepare himself to try his own cases in the most effective manner. NEGROES WANTED. Every day we see and hear much about the wave of prosperity now hovering over Pittsburgh. We have perhaps used whether this wave of prosperity means anything to us as a people: for it must include us or our interest lags. We think it includes us in the fullest sense. The first requisite, of course, is a desire to work. If the Negroes of Pittsburgh want to earn an honest living, and are willing to give full return for the money received, they need only to make such intentions known to the various mills of this city. We have it from the leading foremen and managers of these mills that they prefer. Negro help in the mills, but that the Negro does not "stick." They have room right now for more than a half thousand men, real earnest men, and will furnish them steady labor at a living wage. If only the Negro will accept the opportunity. Pittsburgh is a city of industries; it lives upon steel and iron diet every day. The man who looks for the "snip" job need not come to this city. Te demand is for men who know how to toil; and the demand far exceeds the supply at present. Any failure upon the part Negroes to get work in this city is due to his dislike for real work, and not due to the scarcity of employment. The Astor baby and mother are doing nicely, and the eight doctors are paid of and happy. Here's hoping that the present wave of prosperity lasts even until and after the election of our next President. Mrs. Flora Hebert of 2006 Wylie avenue, has returned from Chicago after a lengthy trip in that city. H. W.

Mother's chair had rocked the whole family. It made a creaking noise as it moved, but there was music in its sound. It was just high enough to allow us children to put our heads into her lap. That was the bank where we deposited all our hurts and worries. Oh, what a chair that was. It was a very wakeful chair! In the rich day of children other chairs could not keep awake—it kept easily awake. That chair knew all the old lullabies, and all those wordless songs which mothers sang to their children. Songs in which all pity and compassion and sympathetic influences are combined. That old chair has stopped rocking for a good many years. It may be set up in the loft or garret, but it holds a queenly power yet—T. DeWitt Talmare. The residents of a certain suburb of Chicago were for a time governed by a passion for giving sweet, political names to their "estates." There was one such man who built a handmade village, calling it "The Nutshell." Thus was the home introduced to his friends, and it became widely known. To the surprise of all, therefore, the name was one day suddenly changed to "Sylvan Nook," and a flood of inquiries soon began to pour in. "Why have you given your home a new name?" a friend asked. "What was the matter with The Nutshell?" "I sickened of being joked about it," said the owner, with a sigh.

Bishop Brinkley, one of our new bishops, will be with us on August 21, to speak to us. We hope all will avail themselves of this privilege to hear him. Mrs. Isaac Fosseit was taken sick in church Sunday evening, but we wish her a speedy recovery. We thank all who nobly sacrificed to contribute to the rally, and let all know who did not contribute, that we always are ready to receive deliquent subscriptions. FOR DISINFECTION OF BOOKS Apparatus Devised by a Frenchman Removes Danger of Contagion and Doesn't Damage Paper. The danger from contagion from books that have been in the hands of persons suffering from various diseases has led to the invention of various methods of disinfection, of which none appears to be more effective than an apparatus devised by Marsoulan of Paris. His process embraces two parts. In the first place, the books are placed in a "beater" where a strong current of air opens every leaf and an aspirator sucks out the dust and deposits it in an aseptic water; then they are suspended in an disinfector, the covers being bent back and held by clips so that the leaves are widely opened and placed over a heater which for a time subjects them to a temperature of 167 degrees Fahrenheit. The paper is not damaged, and the efficiency of the process is said to have been demonstrated beyond question—Harper's Weekly. Ambassador's Privileges. An accredited ambassador is wholly free from the jurisdiction of the county of law or of any other authority in the country to which he is sent. His house is as sacred as his person. It is regarded not as belonging to the country in which he is living, but as a part of the country which sent him. It could no more be entered by the police than a town could be occupied by the soldiery of another nation. This protection is extended to the inmates of the house. If a wrong is committed by some one in the employ of an ambassador, in any capacity, the only means of redress is an appeal to the ambassador or to the government which sent him, and which will not. It is supposed, allow a wrong to be sheltered under the peculiar privileges granted its representative. Never! No. Never!! A woman never puts off till tomorrow what she can say today—Life. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS PITTSBURGH COURIER The editor recently spent some time inspecting the class work of two great institutions, the University of Wisconsin and Tuskegee Institute, the famous school established by Booker T. Washington at Tuskegee, Ala., for the education of negroes, and in which all the teaching is done by negroes. In many of their features the two institutions present striking contrasts, but perhaps in no respect do they differ more widely than in the quality of the teaching; and in this respect the negro school has a very decided advantage. The skill shown by the teachers at Tuskegee is incomparatively greater than that of the teaching force at the University of Wisconsin. At Tuskegee, when a student reciebs he stands erect, and says something that has a definite beginning, aim and end; and he makes his statements without interference or help from the teacher. Then he is quizzed by the other students. At Madison, the students do not stand to recieb, and many of them do not sit; they loll or loaf in a half reciebting position. As a rule, if any reciebations are made they are read from the note book in the hand of the student, but most of the alleged reciebation work is done on the cooperative plan; the student collaborate to produce a result, the student's contribution to which in many cases is limited to "yes" or "no," or at best consists of finishing out a sentence which the teacher not infrequently responding with approval "egzacktly," or "very good." When a student begins a reciection de novo—a rare occurrence—he usually introduces it with "Why" or "Well," and often closes with the rising inflection—American Journal of Education. --- Problems of home life, the needs of the negro in rural communities, health and better school facilities were discussed at the sixteenth annual session of the Hampton Negro conference. The conference was called to order by Max R. R. Moton. Jackson Davis, supervisor of negro rural schools in Virginia, said that in 18 counties of the state the school term was lengthened one month one year, and nine new buildings erected. $13,744.16 raised by the colored people in these counties to aid in the support of their schools during the year. Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones gave a review of facts culled from the recent census. Prof. J. M. Gandy of the Negro Organizing society, stated that 32,228 of the 48,114 negro farm operators in Virginia own 2,233,220 acres. He said that improved methods would make the colored farmers realize as much as white farmers. in speaking of the rush of the negroes to the cities, Dr. George E. Haynes of Fisk university gave the following causes: Divorce of the negro from the soil; growth of commercial and industrial centers; legislation affecting city and urban conditions; relations of landlord and tenant; influence of employment agents; exaggerated stories; restlessness. The part that the colored minister can play in racial uprift was discussed at length. M. W. Reddick, Americus, Ga.; Dr. J. J. France, Portsmouth, Va.; Mrs. G. W. Cook, Washington; Mrs. Butler Wilson, Boston; C. G. Spaling, Durham, N. C.; the Rev. A. A. Graham, Phoebe, Va.; W. T. B. Willam, and Capt. Allan Washington were among others who took part in the discussion. A very suggestive article on the race problem in South Africa was recently published in the Empire Review, a British publication of wide colonial circulation. The article was written by Mr. Henry Smith, who says in part: "The racial problems of South Africa are rapidly assuming gigantic proportions and every fact which comes to light indicates that the Briton and Boer will now have to decide upon a definite course of action in regard to the future of the country. For many years we have witnessed the growth of the colored population and the decrease of the white races. South Africa is becoming blacker and browner every year. The disproportion between the white and the colored races is increasing every year. If the Union of South Africa goes forward exactly as it has during the last seven years it will fifty years hence contain roughly 3,000,000 whites and 12,000,000 colored people. If we take all British South Africa and not merely the Union the preponderance will be far more overwhelming." Man can build a house, but only a woman can make it a home for him. The colored National Democratic league, represented by fifty-five delegates, was in session at Baltimore during the national Democratic convention. The league is said to represent 100,000 colored voters organized into twenty-nine clubs. The effectiveness of these votes will be measured, of course, by their geographical locations. All Saints Episcopal church (colored) of St. Louis recently gave an offering of $50 to help liquidate the indebtedness of a white church. Miss Edna Johnson, the 15-year-old colored girl who probably saved many persons from death by stopping the Chicago-New York limited train on the Pennsylvania railroad, before reaching a burning bridge, was showered with silver coins for her bravery. This is not a white man's country, but a man's country; this is not a black man's country, but a man's country. —St. Louis Central Afro-America. Plow deep —Tuskegee Messenger. Because the bureau of census at Washington insisted that matulatoes be enumerated the last census there has been a genealogical mix-up—the negro being the loser from a numerical standpoint. Investigations show that the statistics just issued for publication by the department of commerce and labor class thousands of negroes with what has been officially designated as "foreign or mixed parentage." Had the bureau of census designated all of African descent under the heading of "Negro" figures would show that negroes constitute a much larger percentage of population. For instance, Greater New York is put down as having a negro population of 91,709, when all told, there are at least 100,000 citizens of color in the various boroughs. The census people claim that there are 22,000 negroes in Brooklyn, although it was conceded by those familiar with the population of this city that from 27,000 to 30,000 negroes reside across the bridge. The census bureau in its statistics specifies the country's population under the following divisions: "Native parentages," "foreign born whites," "negroes," and "all other." Thousands of citizens in the state of New York and throughout the country have been classed under "foreign or mixed parentage," because mulattoes were enumerated, when they should have been put down as negroes. The opinion of the census bureau of what was a negro and what was a mulatto was very confusing and caused thousands of negroes who were not mulattoes to class themselves as such. The census bureau's instructions were that the term black included all negroes of full blood, and that the term mulatto included all not of full blood, but who had a perceptible trace of negro blood. Hundreds and hundreds of negroes who were not black, neither were their mulattoes, classed themselves as citizens of mixed parentage, being so confused by the complex instructions of the census bureau. Therefore, in the mentioning of these negroes, they are put in the "foreign or mixed parentage" class.—New York Age. By 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 Slick 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 Woodlawn cemetery in Everett, Mass., and to relatives. The residue is left in trust with ex-Gov. 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. All the indications point to a bumper cotton crop for this year. This item of news is second in importance only to the paramount and cheering fact that the watermelon crop is all that could be desired, and the country, therefore, is safe! On with the dance, let joy be unconfined! Now that Champion Jack Johnson has blighted another "white hope," and thereby inflated his own bank account, he has opened up a cafe in Chicago, whose fixtures and appointments cost something like $50,000. Running a cafe as a side-line seems to have long been a mania with prize fighters. Nine-tenths of the ring masters have tried it—and come to grief. It is predicted that in going into that line himself, Lil' Arthur has established a "rat hole" which in time will devour more money than he can make. However, when the game is over, John will have the consolation of reflecting. "I have had my fling." There will be no color line drawn at the cafe, but it is doubtful if its negro patrons will be very numerous. Everything is so fine and so costly that it would bankrupt even a well-to-do negro to lotter around there for a day or two. We can't stay there an hour. -Old Hickory. No one has ever yet strained their back muscles breaking bad habits. Only silly bachelors joke about marriage. Perhaps you once were the "undert dog," the "downtrodden race," but now you stand forth in the glorious light of liberty and all indications are that some of you will triumph, rising superior and dominant in the possession of all that goes to make a people honored and blessed. We are not prophets, we have only a vague idea of the millennium, but our hopefulness, and belief in the courage and ability of our people, cause us to take this optimistic view of present tendencies. Illinois Chronicle. Champion Jack Johnson is using a driver of a motor truck for $35,000 damages for having run into and smashed his automobile and for having inflicted injuries on the champion himself. At the same time Mr. Johnson has a case against him on the charge of smuggling diamonds into this country. The lazy man suffers often from tire troubles. Epoch-making is not an overcrowded industry.

LOOK OUT FOR THE CARS" DO YOU know of anyone who is old enough to read, who has not seen that sign at a railroad crossing? If everyone has seen it at some time or other, then why doesn't the railroad let the sign not away? Why does the railroad company continue to keep those signs at every crossing? Maybe you think, Mr. Merchant, "Most everybody knows my store, I don't have to advertise." Your store and your goods need more advertising than the railroads need do to warn people to "Look Out for the Carc." Nothing is ever completed in the advertising world. The Department Stores are a very good example—they are continually advertising—and they are continually doing a good business. If it pays to run a few ads around about Christmas time, it certainly will pay you to run advertisements about all the time.

"Ah, will I never be released?" wailed the imprisoned heroine, beating her fair white hands whiplash against the bars of her window, while from behind the scenes could be heard the hearse chuckle of the victim. Many in the audience were seen to apply their handkerchiefs to their eyes. Her prayers for release rose again upon the still air, and lost themselves in the echoing flies above. "Either git a habbus corpus, lady," shouted a friend from the gallery, "or walk out over de foolights!" And the curtain came down with a whisks. Mr. Peck Again. "Dear me!" said Mrs. Peck, who was reading the paper while Henry waited patiently for a look at it. "Here is a case of a woman who packed up all the furniture and left home while her husband was away at work, and now he can find no trace of her." And Henry's face lost its expression of patient restraint, taking on the light of a great boyant hope. For he had read that women were sometimes influenced by what they saw in the papers. Another Great Historian "And so you have been reading 'Plutarch's Lives!'" we said to the Studious Person. "What impression do you form of Plutarch?"

The deal was consummated the other day which calls for the exchange of Mitchell to Toledo for Krause. Professional baseball plays funny pranks with its devotees. "Lefty" Krause came into the American league in 1909 with the usual blare of trumpets, and also the usual dope from the skiptics. Some predicted whirlwind success for him. "Rube" Marquard's failure to produce was well engraved upon the public mind then and the question, "Is he another lemon?" held a prominent place among a large number of the fans. Krause was soon called the sensation of the season. He silenced his detractors by winning eighteen and passing below. So near the I losing eight games. Greater things were expected of him the following season. The greater things didn't materialize. The campaign of 1910 found Krause matching for success like a dying man grasps for a straw, but finding it far from his reach. He won six and lost six, even though he had the club behind him which won the American league pennant and afterwards the world's series from the Cubs. In 1911 his fortune was no better. He won seven and lost six. He started 1912 on trial. The trial ended when he lost two games. He was shipped to Toledo. Developing a core arm after pitching and winning two games he consulted and was treated by Boneset Reese. Since then he has won seven consecutive games. Mitchell's record has been some what like that of Krusen. Willie shocked the baseball world by winning ten consecutive games in 1910 and closing the season with a record of twelve victories and eight defeats. It was too good to last. Willie's progress was seriously mutilated the next season. He won seven and lost fourteen. His ambition was almost annihilat- ed this season. Starting with a magnificent victory over Detroit in the opening game of the season, in which he held the Jungaleers to five hits and two runs while the Naps worked in the winning run of a long contest in the eleventh. Mitchell gave promise of rivaling the star southpaws of the age. Then came the fall. His record to date is two victories and six defeats. The switch of Mitchell for Krause and the work of other members of the Cleveland team is sufficient grounds for the prediction that one or more of the other pitchers will soon follow. Unless Gene Krapp shows a difference in the style of control in the immediate future, "taps" will be sounded for him. Gene is on the edge of passing below. So near the edge is he that another display of wildness on his next trial may force him over the edge. ONE NOVEL BASEBALL STUNT Joe Sugden, Detroit Scout, Watches Southern Players Indulge in Freak Lotting Practice. Joe Sugden, Detroit Tiger scout, was in Spartanburg, S. C., recently, looking for new players for the Detroit team. Joe was tipped off to two promising men. In the afternoon Joe attended the ball game. While talking to one of the players the Tiger scout was informed that in the league in South Carolina there was a rule which barred the hidden ball trick. But the stunt that Joe saw pulled off took the prize. Sent in front of the hotel, Joe saw three of the Spartanburg players approach an electric light. Each of the men carried his favorite hitting club. The three took up positions under the electric light and turned loose healthy swing every time one of those favorite night birds, the bat, came within striking distance. Joe asked them why they were swinging their hats at bats, like batters on a bat, and the players informed him that it was hitting practice they were indulging in. Remembering many of the baseball tips he had received during the afternoon, Joe believed the three players were serious in their method of getting batting practice. STOP "CHINNING" WITH FANS President Lynch Prohibits Players From Addressing Spectators During Progress of Game. President Thomas J. Lynch of the National league had a conference recently with Manager Frank Chance, Capt. Joe Tinker and Johnny Evers of the Cubs for the purpose of getting first-hand information regarding the recent affair in Pittsburgh, when the Cup captain stopped a ball game until a spectator, who is said to have used abusive language, was silenced. Mr. Lynch had previously been in Pittsburgh where he interviewed President Barney Dugge of the club on the show. The league president gave no indication as to what action he would take in the matter. instruct the referee to some worksize to protect them against the hazards of spectators." And Mr. Lynch, and I am going to some further instructions to them to enforce certain the rule forbidding players to address spectators at any time during the game." MAKE GOOD AS INSTRUCTORS Veteran Major Players Are in Big Demand as Coaches—Where Some Are New Located. It will not be long before all the major league teams are carrying former players as coaches. The Giants have the veteran Wilbert Robinson of the champion Orioles of 1894 to direct matters on the lines in addition to McGleason. Harry Davis of the Clevie Graw. The Brooklynns employ Willie Keeler as Dahlen's first lieutenant. The Philadelphiaas are paying Paddy Moran to coach the pitchers and steer the base-runners. The Chicago White Sox have an able war secretary in Kid Gleason. Harry Davis of the Cleveland relies upon Paddy Livingston for expert advice and the Detroitls are carrying the old time catchers, Jim McGuire and Joe Sudgen. Some of the young players just breaking into the big leagues never heard of their veteran instructors before. Charley Farrell, better known as the Duke of Mariboro, who is in the employ of the Boston Nationals as head coach, recently took a youngster in hand and tried to show him something about the fine points of the game. "Say, you big lobster," exclaimed the new recruit, "what did you ever do to be telling me how to play ball! Hey!" Farrell was dumfounded and couldn't speak. John Ward, however, came to his rescue and said: "Young fellow, I'll tell you what he did! He was the best catcher in the National league in 1897, when he handled Rusle and Meekin for the Giants under my management. He also caught great ball for the Chicagoos, Bostons, Washingtons and champion Brooklyn!" "That may be all true," replied the cub, "but he's a new one on me, and he can't play ball now." "If you listen to his advice," said Ward, "you'll succeed." But the recruit was as stubborn as the proverbial mule and soon drew his walking papers. DOWNEY BACK WITH CHICAGO Player, Who Was Let Go to Cincinnati and Then to Philadelphia, Rejoins His Old Team. Tom Downey has been added to the Cub roster by the waiver route and has rejoined the same team with which he first broke into the major league ranks. Tom was let go to Cincinnati and played short for the 5 Reds. Then he was disposed of to Philadelphia and filled in at third dur ing Lobert's absence. The Phillies asked for waivers and Manager Chance refused to waive claim. Scattering Notes of the Diamond Detroit sends its Blue Grass league recruit, Allie Baschang, to Providence for seasoning. New York has released Pitcher George Shears to Albany of the New York State league. Otis, who has been playing in the outfield for the Yankees, is a product of Williams college. All that is left of the original Highland team is the uniforms. And they didn't look so very good. Pittsburg papers allege that they believe the Pirates and the Cubs may yet hustle the Giants some at the finish. Jake Weimer, former star of the Cubs, Giants and the Reds. Is now a commission merchant in the stockyards. Pitcher Hankee, who trained with the Athletics in 1910, has been signed by the Ailentown team of the Tri-State league. Jimmy Digert's unconditional release didn't keep him out of a job long. He signed within a few days with Providence. Pitcher Al Bonner, secured by Montgomery from New Orleans, has been turned over to Reading in the Tri-State league. Anybody who believes the rumor that Boston wants to trade Vin Campbell for "Rebel" Oakes of the Cardinals is entitled to. Davy Altizer continues to play wonderful ball in the American association. In that company Davy is always a genuine whale. Arthur Shafer, the young substitute infielder with the Giants, is showing all the signs of a future star. He is fast, runs bases well and hits the ball hard. John Killing has a discouraged look on his face these days. He does not think that managing a tail-end combination is nearly as much fun as he did last summer. PITTSBURGH COURIER Pennsylvania Washington (By E. H. Brooks.) Miss Armstrong and Miss.
