Zion Baptist Church In Portsmouth Portsmouth, Va.—The sixteenth annual session of the Lott Carey Baptist foreign mission convention will be held at Mt. Zion Baptist church from Aug. 28 to Sept. 2, inclusive. The local arrangements for the session are in the hands of a committee headed by the Rev. Dr. J. M. Armstead, who has been for the past thirty years pastor of the church in which the convention will meet. The Zion church edifice is regarded as the handsomest that the race possesses in the tide water section of Virginia.

Dr. W. W. Allen of Baltimore. A number of prominent persons will deliver addresses during the session, and an address to the country dealing with the civil and political rights of the race will be issued. The women's auxiliary will also react during the convention. The Lott Carey Baptists have raised about $40,000 for mission purposes during its existence. The collections this year may total $3,000. Much of the burden of raising this money has fallen upon the president, Professor Calvin S. Brown, and the corresponding secretary. Rev. Dr. W. M. Alexander. The present officers are: Professor C. S.

THIRKIED SPEAKS FOR CHURCH An Eloquent Appeal Made For Warren Church. $1,100 Subscribed. LITERARY WORK OF C. S. HUNTER OF ST. LOUIS, MO. Ambitious Young Southern Man Enters New Field—Devotee of Newspaper Profession St. Louis.—Touched, as it were, by hallowed fire from the heights of Parrassus. Charles S. Hunter, a brilliant young newspaper man of this city, is singing his way into the hearts of the people. Though as yet not widely known, his short stories and poems have real merit, not the mere jingle of the rimester, but verse that breathes exalted thought. Unlike Dunbar, he has not essayed as yet the more difficult role of dialect poems, but has satisfied himself with what he terms his epic, "Hope's Frution—A Reverie," and a few minor poems which are marked by that refinement of sentiment which makes real poetry inspiring. These lines from a poem, "Tell Me Now," tell their own story of worth: If faults I have, as faults I must. And you must conceal that fact. My God and yours'll sanction such an act. To fragile human clay and erring dust. If virtues, tell them o'er and o'er in song Till cadences of joy my soul doth thrill, And love anon shall sing its "peace, be beauty." To heart's unrest endured and suffered long. These lines from a poem called "Life's Journey" are full of that rare quality which indicates genius: We're pearling Jordan's waters, Still be holds my hand. For he holds my hand! "Hope's Fruition—A Reverie," however, is Mr. Hunter's most ambitious effort. It is a historical poem, telling in stately rime the story of the black man from 1619 to the present day. Business Men March In Big Parade. The parade of the business men which inaugurated the Terrace garden at Handlan's park recently created community wide interest and marked a new epoch in the business life of our people in this city. The display was in every way creditable, and the classic float of Clark and Smith, tailors and haberdashers, won merited applause. The garden was visited by from 15,000 to 20,000 pleasure seekers during the ten days' celebration and was a notable success. The United Brothers of Friendship and Sisters of the Mysterious Ten, a widely known secret order, held supreme sessions during the week ending Aug. 17 in the mammoth coliseum. Thousands of visitors were in attendance from all parts of the country. Delegates from foreign lands were also accredited to this international convention. Are you patronizing colored enterprise if never possible, or are you going to be blind and helping the other fellow up the ladder to the detriment of your race. Don't only go where you are forced, but help your own at every opportunity. Remember that every colored man that gets up helps to pull you up too. BISHOP W. P. T. SPEAK An Eloquent Appear ren Church. $1 Bishop W. P. Thirkled, former president of Howard University, who has spent nearly 175 years in the Southland, largely in work for the uplift of the Race, as secretary of the Freedman Board, teacher at Gammon Nursing, and other fields in the South, spoke in glowing terms of Bishop Henry, White Warren, deceased, after whom Warren much is named, and who founded the famous Gammon Society, through his personal chants. Nothing was overlooked by Bishop Henry as too good and too hard to serve for the Race, which he commanded to serve and the people of this church especially owe to him for his patience and calmness, better than any other church and serving against it. He said: PITTSBURG PA., AUGUST 23, 1912. IS A PROMISING YOUNG MAN WON/ESTEEM AND CONFIDENCE C. C. ROBERTSON WORKED HIS WAY UP FROM BOTTOM Former Howard University Student Now Member of Faculty Very Premilent IS A PROMISING YOUNG MAN Among the young college men of the race making good in life is C. C. Robertson, one of the instructors in mathematics at Howard university. Mr. Robertson is a promising young man and is amply prepared to take a high place in the educational ranks of the race. He was born in Hampton, Va., near the great industrial school in that town. He received his early education at the Spiller academy and Wayland seminary of the Virginia Union university in Richmond, Va. After his preparation for college he entered the Virginia Union university, from which he was graduated in 1910. He was among the leaders of his class and was prominent in college activities, especially as a Young Men's Christian association worker. In further preparation for his life's work he entered Howard university, doing work in the Teachers' college. He did special work in mathematics and German and received his degree of Pd. B., 1011. His work in mathematics at the university attracted the attention of the authorities, and on the completion of his course he was offered the post of instructor in mathematics. Mr. Robertson is among the youngest members of the faculty. He believes in thorough preparation. He has articulated for the master's degree at Columbia university in New York. COLORED PEOPLE FOR CARNEGIE STEEL WORKS Because of shortage of laborers in the Homestead plant of the Carnegie Steel Company men are being sent for from all parts of the country. A special train from Washington D.C. containing 50 Negroes, reached the plant Wednesday and over 200 more arrived from the South and East. Several houses in Sixth avenue. Homestead, are being remodeled by the company to be used as boarding houses for the new employees. The managers of these mills prefer Negro help. 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. NOTICE.

JOHNSON SHOWS CAPACITY FOR LEADERSHIP Spirit of Unity Begins With Regime of New Pastor of A. M. E. Zion Church One among the many successful ministers in the A. M. E. Zion connection is the Rev. Dr. G. W. Johnson, the newly appointed pastor of the Fleet Street A. M. E. Zion church in Brooklyn. Dr. Johnson was transferred from the New England conference recently by Bishop Alexander Walters to his present charge, succeeding the Rev. Dr. A. A. Crooke. Rev. Dr. Johnson has been long recognized as one of the strongest men in the connection. He has an honorable record, both as a pastor and an upright citizen. Most of his life bearing upon his Christian labors has been in the Zion connection. He was born in North Carolina and was educated in the public schools of Charlotte, N. C., and Biddle university. He was ordained in 1892 by Bishop Petty and was sent to Birmingham, Ala., his first charge. He remained three years at Birmingham and built a new church for the connection. He afterward pastored in Tousalosa and Mobile, Ala.; Scrutton, Miss.; Florida, Pittsburg and Wilmington N. C. At Wilmington Rev. Dr. Johnson did much for the advancement of the Zion work. He was unusually successful as a pastor and in fifteen months added to the church 500 new members. When he was called to the pastorate of the church in Brooklyn he was the pastor of Columbus Avenue A. M. E. Zlon church in Boston, where he pastored for three years, during which time the membership was increased by 250 and maintained a high standard of spiritual excellence. He was identified with every movement that meant race advancement. The Columbus Avenue A. M. E. Zlon church is one of the largest in the connection and is the pride of the Zlonites the country over. It was the scene in 1911 of the great testimonial given by the members of the New England conference to Bishop Walters. Since going to the Fleet street church in Brooklyn Dr. Johnson has already won the esteem and confidence of the members. He has organized clubs among the members to raise $500 at a financial rally to be held early in the fall. EXPOSITION WILL OPEN NEXT WEEK The opening of the Western Pennsylvania's Exposition Society's twenty-fourth annual season is scheduled for Wednesday evening, August 28 at 7 o'clock, when the great doors of the Exposition buildings will be thrown wide open and the big Point Show will be ablaze with more than 10,000 lights, and the Russian Symphony orchestra with Modest Altschuler at its head will present the first of a series of splendid concerts to the thousands who will be there. The preparations for the opening event are all but completed. In addition to a splendid list of musical attractions, there are scores of exhibits that reach into every field of human endeavor. The United States Government, the City of Pittsburgh, and its civic and educational institutions and industrial life in every form will bend their energies to make this season one of the most interesting and most enlightening in the history of this wonderful institution. Unique in its history and in the history of the country, will be the first display representation of the Titanic disaster, the greatest marine tragedy in the history of the world. It is to be shown in the same space that was occupied in former seasons by the Monitor and Merrimac. This representation is not a moving picture, but a mechanical representation of the movement of the Titanic from the moment it left Southampton until it struck the iceberg and went down to the bottom of the sea. The rescue of the survivors by the Carpathia and their safe arrival in New York harbor are so clearly shown and with such startling realism that one almost believes he is one of the passengers on that ship. With all this detail there is lacking every feature that is objectionable or in any way greensome, but the historic events preceding and following the sacrifice of their lives are accurately given, and will be long remembered by those who witness this remarkable entertainment. Special programs have been prepared for all concerts. The car service to the boat from all sections of the city will be equal, if not better, than the other seasons transfers beceived from all lines.

THE PAPER THAT REACHES THE HOME FIVE CENTS A COPY STUDENT, AND AUTHOR Howard University Confers Divinity Degree Upon George Frazier Miller MADE IIS MARK AS SCHOLAR By M. M. C. LAWTCN. Brooklyn—Rector George Frazier Miller of St. Augustine P. E. church, in this city, is a native of Alken, S. C. where he was born about forty-eight years ago. His parents were Alfred A. and Ellen Collins De Reef Miller. His grandfather on the maternal side was Richard Edward De Reef, a prominent merchant of Charleston, S. C. The elder De Reef's parents were natives of Santo Domingo. They emigrated to the United States during one of the insurrections on the island many years ago. Mr. Miller's preliminary education was acquired in the public and private schools of Charleston. His father died when young Miller was only six years of age. His mother was a woman of great ambition and self reliance. With the assistance of her father-in-law, a man GEORGE FRAKIRM MILLER. of considerable means, she was able to continue her son in school. After completing the normal school course Mr. Miller matriculated for college, entering Howard university in the fall of 1881. By due diligence in his studies he was graduated with the degree of bachelor of arts in 1888. In the fall of the same year he entered the General Theological seminary in New York, being graduated from this institution in the class of 1891. The degree of master of arts was conferred upon him in cursu in 1893, the thesis of the time being a philosophical discourse upon the subject "The Value of the Moral Argument of Theism." In 1901 Mr. Miller entered the Graduate School of Philosophy of the University of New York, taking a post graduate course and devoting especial attention to the philosophy of religion, logical science and metaphysics. While pursuing these studies she wrote a syllabus of logic (unpublished) which was approved in toto by Professor James E. Lough, Ph. D. of the department of logic and psychology. He published a work entitled "Adventism Answered," a philosophical discussion which treats on biblical and ethical grounds of Christian liberty in the observance of days and makes answer to the ancient Sabbath claim or duty of Saturday observance. He has written numerous tracts and essays, and his recent pamphlet, "Socialism and Its Ethical Basis," written as a concise statement for the Hannibal forum of Brooklyn, has called forth words of high commendation from men of state in different parts of the country, many of whom hold the economic principles of other schools of thought. The professors and other authorities at Howard university had watched Mr. Miller's career for twenty-four years. They hold him in high esteem as an alumnus who had honored his alma mater, so they felt that the time had come for the university to honor him, with the result that at the commencement Bishop Thirkield, the retiring president, invested him, with the dignity, honor and title of doctor of divinity.

The RING and the MAN WITH SOME INCIDENTAL DELATION TO THE WOMAN BY CYBUS TOWNSEND BRADY ILLUSTRATIONS BY DEARBORN MELVILLE FRIDAY. AUGUST 23. 1912 The R and the M WITH RELAT By C SYNOP18. A foolish young tenderfoot becomes associated with the bold, arrogant, western mining town. They prepare to slope in a blinding blizzard but are consoled by the wife, but by the wife, but the chirrulous, boy pins a note to the body talks the right to the railroad station the woman's horse exhausts, and follows hanging to the stirrup strap. Seeing he is an impatient snow drift and rides on. Half-frozen be stumbling into the railroad station just twenty-five years later, this man, George Gormly, is a multi-millionaire in New York, a beautiful and wealthy settlement worker. and co-operates with her in her work- gory. Gormly is a man who does himself frustrated in pler- and track extension plans by grafting al- dermen, backed by the Godfather, and accident brings the Haldane to his country home. Gormly announces that he will be mayor of New York and reclaim the city. He reveals the decoration of the merchant prince produced a tremendous conception. The whole machinery of the merchant prince produced a tremendous something damaging to Gormly. The green harbours unanimously favorable to the merchant candidate, puts the merchant prince under a waxen barm. A resolution is introduced granting a gratuitous renewal of the traction contract for the franchise. Miss Haldane congratulates Gormly on what she terms a new Declaration of Independence, and he receives a congratulatory letter. He is shocked by the confirmation of his surpicion that her father is the head and backbone of the notorious action throw. Young Haldane discovers his father's connection with the Gotham bank, and an interview between Gormly and Haldane the latter practically offers his daughter's hand as a bribe for Gormly to view with Gormly Miss Haldane learns of her father's baseness though Gormly vainly tries to hide it. Members of the Gotham bank declare himself a murderer and decide to force him to withdraw under visits Gormly, who makes a full confession of the truth. Young Haldane runs the gauntlet of the police and carries the confession to the newspapers for publication. CHAPTER XVII. Colonel Bill Hamilton Plays His Lone Hand. Young Haldane's first duty was to distribute manifestos to the newspapers as far as his copies permitted. Having discharged his errand, with the one copy which he had reserved for himself, he headed for home, biting up a tremendous pace as he raced along the almost deserted streets. Before he had left to warn Gormly, he in a few hasty words given his sister an inking of what was about to happen. He knew that she would be awaiting the result of his interview with an anxiety not to be measured. In a short time, therefore, he placed the confession in her hands. With attraining eyes and throbbing heart the girl devoured the type-written pages. Her feelings were a singular compound of varying emotions. For one thing, there was relief that it was no worse; for another, there was admiration at the boldness and courage with which the man had grappled with a desperate situation, the dexterity and resource with which in perfect honor and dignity he had extricated himself from the dilemma in which the opposition had sought to plunge him, the magnificent audacity with which he had faced the crisis and dominated the interview; lastly, there was a keen, terrible pang of jealousy and bitterness toward that other woman. It was this last emotion that was self revealing. Eleanor Haldane knew now that she loved this man. She realized in this unveiling of her heart that probably she had loved him all the time; that the other feelings and emotions which she had stirred in her heart and she had sought to characterize by different words were now blended into passion as great as his own. She sat quite silently, staring at the paper, reading the lines over and over again, thinking her thoughts, until her brother, who had absented himself for a brief space, came back into the room. "Well," he said, "what are you going to do?" "Will you take a note to him tonight?" she asked. "Not now," was the answer. "It's too late. I begged him to go to bed and try to get some rest. He will need all his strength tomorrow." "But this night—" "I don't care what it is, you can't get it to him tonight. Besides that isn't the best way." The girl sat down at her desk, picked up a pen and drew a sheet of paper toward her. She divined what was in her brother's mind. She knew what would be the best way after all as well as he. Well, she would do it." "What will father say?" she asked half curiously. "He will have enough to do explain his part in this transaction to say anything about anything else." "You don't think that he—" "I am sorry to say it," answered young Haldane gravely, "that it was father, who gave me the chin, you know, and I am dead certain that the whole ring have put the chin of扮 up to his dirty work." He turned away as he spoke and hung his head in shame. Elonor Haldane had already gone through the fires, and to her overwrought soul it seemed that no further humiliation could be brought upon her. "Maybe," she said at last, forcing herself to speak with troubled lips and sinking heart, "the work care after—" "Don't be a fool, sis!" said her brother roughly, yet not unkindly. "I care more for you than anything on earth except the election, and I don't know be that he would even jot that slider—" "He wouldn't" was the answer. That day at Louise Stewart's father offered me to him if he would not H. H. "Gormly Took the Blame on Himself to Shleld the Woman." publish that matter about the Traction company, and— "And he refused!" "Yes." "Great God! I didn't think the old man could sink so low." "That isn't all either," she went on dreamily, "for I repeated the offer." "What!" cried her brother. "Yes. I asked him if I said I would marry him, whether he would stop the publication." "And he refused you!" "He did." "God! that's a man if ever there was one!" "Yes." was the answer, "and that is why I am taking this step now. If he had accepted me, I should have despaired him. He would have snuck, she said bitterly, "to our family level." "Never you mind about our level, its," said the man gently, "there are few people on earth that are as high as your level; and if Gormly ever does get you, he'll be mighty lucky." "Thank you," said the girl simply. "Now, I want you to help me with what I have to write." Haldane sent himself by her ride, and the two heads were soon busily bent over the desk. While all this was happening up town, matters were stirring down town. The editor-in-chief of The Planet, belated at a dinner, happened to come in for a final inspection just as the night editor finished reading the first copy of Gormly's communication. "What do you think of that?" he said, tossing it over. A few moments sufficed to put the editor, who was one of the coolest and most self contained of men, in possession of the contents. He shook his head. "It's bad business," he remarked, handing it back. "Will it beat him?" "I don't know," was the answer. "I think not. If ever a man did atone for criminal folly or carelessness by his life, Dormly has. He seems to have been more sinned against than sinning, anyway. People generally like a man who tries to brace up and do the square thing, and if they had a few days to think it over, I believe "Gormly Took the Blame on Hi it would do him more good than harm; but you see the election comes," he looked at his watch. It was after one oclock in the morning, "tomorrow." "Of course, we will want to say something editorially about it." "Certainly," was the answer. "I will do it myself." He sat down at his desk, took the paper up again, scanned it carefully. "Look here," he said. "There is something concealed about this." "What is it?" asked the subordinate. "Well, in the first place it doesn't say who shot the man." "Why, he says he wrote a confession." "Yes, I know. I belong the woman fired the shot, and that he's trying to save her." If we could only settle that question, it would be something a soften the revelation. "By jow" spiked the night editor, "that reminds me." He picked up the letter, "Camp Kill Devil, Wyot. One of the sub reporters got a story the other day about some western ad- ventures from a certain Bill Hamilton, an old Montana mine owner, and if I'm not mistaken Camp Kill Devil was mentioned." "Who is the story?" "I killed it." "Where is the reporter?" I hope you didn't kill him. "No" was the answer. He tapped a bell on his desk. "Send Mr. Ab bott to me if he's outside," he said to the messenger. Fortune was in a complacent mood. Abbott had just come in from an assignment. He was preparing to go home when the summons reached him. Instantly he presented himself, nervous and trembling, and wondering what was up, before the two demigods who decided upon the destinies of the paper, and incidentally upon the fate of the reporters, cub and otherwise. "Mr. Abbott," said the night editor sharply, "you brought a story in here the other day from a certain Bill Hamilton in which a Wyoming mining camp called Kill Devil, or some such name, was mentioned. Do you recall it." "Certainly, sir." "I killed the story," said the night editor. "It was no good. But now we want very much to get hold of the man who gave it to you. Do you know where he is to be found?" "Yes, sir. He's staying at the Waldorf." "Go up and get him at once!" cut in the chief curtly. "My machine is down in the street. Get him up here if you have to kidnap him. Tell him we want to see him about George Gormly. We've got a story in which we think he would be interested." "Yes, sir," returned Abbott. He did not wait for any further instructions. He darted out of the room and in a few moments was whirling up the avenue. Col. Bill Hamilton had gone to bed. The office force made some demur about awakening him; but when Abbott discharged who he was, what he represented, and what interests were involved, they sent him up. Naturally Colonel Bill was somewhat annoyed at being disturbed; but as soon as Abbott mentioned the name of Gormly he was instantly on the alert. "What is it?" he asked, peering through the open door. "It's about George Gormly. The editor-in-chief of The Planet is at the office. He wants to see you immediately. It's the biggest thing that has ever come off in New York. He thinks that maybe you know something about it and can throw some light on it. I have a big car down here waiting for you." "I'll be down in a minute," came the prompt answer. "Please hurry, Colonel Hamilton! We're holding the presses, waiting for you. Don't stop for anything." "Set right down there, young man," said Colonel Bill, closing the door, "and see how quick one of the old die-with-their-boots-on crowd can get into his duds." Colonel Hamilton was as good as his word. He did not wait for any undue physical adornment. In an incredibly short space of time he came out sufficiently clad for decency, and grabbing the young man by the arm he fairly ran down the corridor to himself to Shleld the Woman." ward the elevator. The late diners were astonished as Colonel Bill and the young cub forced their way through the crowded hall to the automobile outside. The colonel had not forgotten the munitions of war, and he carried a tin box in his hand which he had snatched from his table as he left his bed room. "Get us down to the office in double quick time," said the cub reporter to the chauffeur. "Never mind about fines. Bust up the machine, if necessary, but get us there." That's the old man's orders. We haven't got any time to spare," he yelled, as the big car started. They went down the elevator at a terrible pace, despite the protests of the officers by whom they flashed in the night and the effects that were made to report them and stop there. "This way, sir," said the cob r porter, piloting him into the elevator at once. "Here you are!" he exclaimed after a wild sweep upward. He led him through a couple of doors and ushered him into a big brightly lighted room where two men sat. "Col. Bill Hamilton," sir said. Abbott breathlessly. He almost felt like sabbing and saying. "Come aboard, sir." "Thirty-two minutes," said the night editor, looking at his watch. "Very well done." "Mr. Abbott, you may remain here." PITTSBURGH COURIER if, you wish," said the editor to the cub. "It will be interesting for you to hear." "Thank you, sir," said the delighted young reporter, making himself small and inconsiderable in a corner whence he could hear and see everything. "You must excuse me," said the editor, "for having brought you down here so summarily at this hour of the night, but affairs of great moment-" "You want to know about Gormly?" "We do." "Well, what is it?" "Read this," said the editor. Colonel Bill fished a pair of spectacles out of his side pocket and deliberately perched them astiride of his nose. He read the letter through very slowly. The night editor was in a fever of impidence. Even the importable editor-in-chief was considerably more adored than usual. "I a pose I'm partly responsible for it," said old Hamilton; "for I was down at the city hall the other night when they had that big meeting, and I happened to mention that Gormly reminded me of a young fellar I used to know out at the camp named Fordyce, George Fordyce, to a fellow there. He was slick, smooth and agreeable enough and we had a couple of drinks together and I let out men's I'd ought to. Since then, however, I've been done a little quiet investigate on my own book, and I've here in this tin box, which I brought down with me and which I keep locked all the time, some documents you might like to see." The night editor greeted over the long windedness of the frontierman. "What's the matter, sonny?" asked Colonel Bill solicitously. "Ain't sick, are you?" "No no," was the answer. "But go on, please, Colonel Hamilton," said the editor; "and will you be as explicit as possible. We are holding up the paper in the hope that you may be able to throw some light on this matter, and time is of the greatest importance." "I see," was the reply. "Well then, all that's written in that paper's true enough; but he sn't told all the truth." "Would you mind telling us what has been suppressed or left out?" "The man's wife was run away with as Gormly, or Fordyce as I knew him, says on that night he indicates, that the woman's husband was left dying' on the cabin floor." "Yes." "Nex mornin', some of us, suspicion' that there might've been some trouble, after the storm dled out, got up a crowd and went over to the man's shack. We found him there." "Dead?' asked the editor. "Not yet, but might nigh gone." Colonel Bill drew from his pocket a key and unlocked the tin box. From a worn envelope he drew forth a worn piece of paper, on which was written in pencil that was very much faded, but 'still sufficiently legible, a brief message. Colonel Bill unfolded the paper, yellow with age, and handed it to the editor, who seized it, turned to the light, and read: "I killed him, but it was in self defense.—Fordyce." "That's the first bit of evidence," he said. The editor nodded. "That settles it." "No, it don't," was the reply. "For when we got there, as I said, he won't dead, and we managed to revive him with a good drink of liquor, which Pete Breeden—that was his name—always would respond to," he interpolated. "And he managed to say a few words." "He said that his wife shot him and run off with Fordyce." "Anything more?" "Then he died." "I see," said the editor. "Gormly took the blame upon himself to shield the woman." "It will be Colonel Hamilton's unsupported statement against this written confession, though," interposed the night editor. "Well, as it happens," was the reply, "the statement ain't unsupported." "What more?" asked the editor. "This." Colonel Bill from the same tin box fished out another object wrapped in a piece of paper. He unrolled the paper and exhibited a flattened leaden bullet. "This come from a thirty-two call her revolver. Doc Johnson, who was the only medical shark we had in them days, he performed an autopsy, or somethin' like that, on the body of Breeden, and he got this from it. No man in the territory ever carried a thirty-two. Forty-five, the usual weapon for a gent out there, and this come from the woman's gun. I'd often seen her use it, and she could shoot most as straight as a man could, that woman." (TO BE CONTINUED.) Wanted to Be Sure. Bret Harte at one time used to plunder the people from the rostrum in the way of 50-cent lectures, says a magazine writer. During a trip over the Pennsylvania circuit he found himself one evening in a small town, the very atmosphere of which was depressing. Turning to the committeeman who awaited on him at his room in the hotel, Harte said: "Is this a healthful climate?" "Passably," responded the committeeman. "What's the mortality of this city?" "About one a day." "About one, eh," said Harte. "come this way a minute," and he drew the committeeman into the recess of the bay window and then said to him, solemnly, "Is the man dead for today? I am going to lecture here tonight, and it would be a great relief to me to know that I could get through alive." Old Skewers.

Within a recent period this fruit was but little used in France, and even now its consumption is limited. However, measures are being taken to increase the importation, and it is said that seventy vessels were recently fitted up for bringing the fruit to Europe. Banana flour has a much more extended use in England than on the continent, but efforts are now made to introduce it in France owing to its great nutritive value. Better to Stick to Light Opera. Batter to Stick to Light Opera. Reginald de Koven, writing in the Dramatic Mirror, says that the ambition of many singers to appear in grand opera is a misguided one. "From my own experience," he says, "I recall the instance of a lady who had been in demand at from $400 to $500 a week in light opera. After two years' study for grand opera in Paris she returned here and was engaged by Conrief at $50 a month." Burial Education.

The season of summer night concerts at the Schenley Music Garden will close next Friday evening, Carl Berthaier and his Pittsburgh Festival Orchestra having given 00 concerts on that date. The closing number will be the Haydn "Farewell Symphony. The Nixon. The sensations of flying in a hydroplane while the air machine races with swift motorboats at Monte Carlo and the experience of hunting whale in mid-ocean are two of the 20 features at the Nixon this week. Lyman H. Howe having returned to Pittsburgh for a special engagement of two weeks. It is a new sport, the test of speed of motors in machines that rush through the air and others that pounce through the water. The moving picture camera was placed in the hydroplane, and the tiny films record the views of the racer about three hundred feet high. The regular season at the Nixon will open September 2 with Julian Eltinge in "The Fascinating Widow." During the fall and winter this house will offer Maude Adams, Billie Burke, Eibel Barrimore, "The Garden of Allah," Raymond Hitchcock, George Cohen Kitty Gordon, Henry Milgert, "The Rose Maid," John Drew, "Oliver Twist," William Farnum, "Kismet," Eddie Foy, Blanche Ring and other attractions. The Lyceum. Estha Williams, in "A Man's Game," is the attraction at the Lycaeum theater this week. The play is said to be one of strong heart interest, and constructed along sane and consistent lines. The story tells of a fivious wife, who deserts her husband because he cannot provide her with the luxuries she craves. It is around this incident that the plot is woven. Miss Williams is supported by Edwin Walter and other well known players. Eugene Blair, whose ability as an emotional actress is well known here, comes to the Lycaeum theater next week in "Madame X." a play that has been heralded as the "greatest drama in 20 years." Not since the production of the "Two Orphans" nearly 30 years ago has there been presented a play with the dramatic power of "Madame X." It is a drama of emotions, and it depicts truer phases of life than "Camille" and the Sardou dramas. The Grand. The special engagement of Miss Sarah Truax, with the Harry Davis players at the Grand Opera House this week in an elaborate revival of Sir Arthur Wing Pinero's drama, "The Second Mrs. Tanqueray," brings the supplementary summer season of stock at that theater to a brilliant and most appropriate close. Miss Truax's reputation in a tragedienne is too well known hereabouts to dwell upon at any length. During her regime at the Grand a decade ago, she won a large and representative following, which has increased, rather than decreased in that time. The Hippodrome. The season of 1912 at the Pittsburgh Hippopotrome closes next. Saturday night, August 24. This is the final week of the big open air show and the news is bound to cause regret among thousands of Pittsburghers who have attended and enjoyed the long list of brilliant performances. The list of attractions to be presented by Manager John P. Harris this week will prove a worthy finale in every respect to aparticularly good season. The Alvin Harry Dais, the managing director of the Alvin, has spent much of his time in New York this past summer giving his personal attention to theooking of attractions for the Alvin theater during the coming season. The list embraces all the latest musical comedy, dramatic and high-class shows of the following producers: The Messrs. Shuberts, John Cort, American Authors' Producing Company, Fred C. Whitney's attractions, all the shows of Henry W. Savage, etc. The season will open September 2, with Nell O'Brien's American Minstrels. During the summer, Mr. Davis has had a corps of decorators, carpenters, etc., at work on the interior of the theater, making necessary changes and repairs, which has been his custom since his direction of the Alvin theater. The Gaycay. The management of the Gayety presents for its attraction this week the Star and Garter Show, an attraction that is more than making good. Elise Matthews, Jack Conway, James Devine, James J. Collins, Corinne Lehr and other super artists, are in the cast. Surrounded then with the finest costuming which positively proves a revelation, the Star and Garter Show is one of the real classy shows of the year. 'One of the features is a sensational novelty, the gigantic ship scene, which will be a cyclic sensation. The Duquesne Dennis A. Harris, actor and manager, and active head of the Harry Davis Stock company, returned early last week from a fortnight's vacation agent in Atlantic City, with many in-coming new plans for the Davis Painters this winter. Among some of the plays to be given in the early autumn at the Duquesne are "Seven Days," "Arizona," "The Boys of Company, B," "Pinero's Amazons," "Under Two Flags," "The Love Route," and many others. Beginning next week on Monday afternoon, August 26, the Harry Davis Stock Players will resume their winter activities at the Duquesne theater. The opening play for the regular winter season of stock at the Duquesne will be a famous old Belasco Dollie success, "The Charity Ball" Mr. Fortiss Gloes, the popular lead man of the Davis Players, who is to remain in Pitsburgh with that organization all winter, will be seen as the organizer, John Van Buren, while Mr. Dennis A. Harris will have an interesting role in his more worldly three, Dick the broker. The Harris. All of the acts billed this week at the Harris are ones that have more than made good in vaudeville.

The feature attraction is the bustling comedy and streaming farce known as Hey Mister, presented by Louis W. Hines and company. The hardy theater next week will feature one of the biggest stars, in vaudeville, beause Corinne, the original and immortal, will appear at that show in the planet. The Dressmaker HILLIE Corinne will be remembered because of the prominent parts she played in George M. Cohan's Forty-five Minutes From Broadway, and in the Saturdays' "Mile, Mischief." She is also making a short vaudeville tour and her engagement at the Harris marks about the western limit of her tour. --- We have three first-class cars to use in teaching you.

It ts reasonably 20. The change of the trend of education among both white and black: the in- créase of wealth, and courage to vem ture nto business among Negroes; the higher and higher esteem nto which the skilled Negro workmen are rising all make this call louder and more general. At Tuskegee Institute some thirty odd of these industries are taught!

Moreover, experience and experiments at Tuskegee Institute are demonstrating that the young Wo- man fs just as apt and able a pupil with the machinery in the creamery, with the sclence of feeds in the poul- try yard, with packing and handling fruit in the orcbard as she is with grammatical syntax in the classroom, and just as quick and aggressive as is her young man classmate, to whom time and prejudice have hitherto re- stricted these trades, There have been several failures of ‘co-operative effort to do business of one sort and another in New York in the past few yeara, but that should not deter our men and women from such efforts. Failures are, in a meas- ure, the necessary step to success, as it is by experience that we learn what 1s good and what {s baa ‘method. As we have few opportunities to learn business methods by growing up with ‘the business We have to get the exper!- ‘ence the best way we can, even if it be through the sore ordeal pf failure after failure.

There are so many sides to the domestic service problem that it is necessary to indicate the special phase whan discussing {t. The frst phase is, of course, the work of the ‘wife in the home, and the work of the danghters as Relpmates of the mother and ase preperation against the time when they as wives will bave homes of their own. This i the highest call to domestic service. It ts the founds tion of the American state. It is ous ceptible of infinite discussion. Every woman Bie ideas of home education for domestic service and what should be the character and scope of it, ak eit the best people are coming to the sensible conctusion that the daughter, however wealthy, shoald have her ofv. cation rounded out by © course in a domestic science school, like that of Pratt Institate, in Brookiyn, and sue’ as is inctuded In the courses of our own Hampton, Tuskegee-and other tp- stitutes. The Woman's Yederation could do a good service by eurphasts ing this phase of domestic service education, as the home life of the negro, which depends so mech upon the-wife and mother, is of vital mo ment. But the phase of domestic service ‘as an occupation, as @ livelihood, ia also of great moment, as so many of our women, both young and old, have to take to tt as a matter of necessity 4£ not of eholce. To all such the best domestic sctence education is of the greatest benefit and aseures the best Dositions and wages. There are plenty of indications that negro women are not being attracted to domestic serv- ‘fee as an occupation as formerly and that they are not giving the satistac tion the service calls for. The reason for this condition could be considered and discussed to advantage by the ‘Woman's Federation. A real race leader should be a use ful man, able to arouse his people to Decome interested in his fellow men fn making,conditions better and in up- Ufting the human race, to see that each and every man enjoys the rights and privileges and blessings, as guar- anteed by the state and national gov- ernments. We have been troubled too ak false leadership; men that were priced upon the pedestal of hon- or and “sold out” for selfish interests. pe have regarded self aggrapdize ent higher than general good. Such leaders ought to be relegated to the rear and place given to men of honor Intelligence, integrity and character. It {sa fact that the younger generation ts no longer standing by the false lead- ers and the press and people are up in arms against bim. With such & spirit, the coming years will note & change that will work for the greatest ‘good of the race, Let us keep up the fight for true leadership.—tlinols Chronicle.

A. Comparison. "I am so chicken-hearted," simpered the lady with the false ringlets, as she explained her scare about the burglars.

"That editor," complained the poet, "keeps telling me, to write something apt and timely and he will accept it. Today I dashed off a little thing about the beautiful snow and submitted it to him." "And what did he do?" asked the friend. "He wouldn't thaw at all." A Criticism. "These cigars." I explained to my friend, "were made for King Edward." "Is that so?" he said, drawing very hard at the one I had given him. "I don't blame him for not taking them." But then, he is one of those persons who are always sneering at royalty.
