THE WORK SHOWS E What the Homesee ton, Virginia, Better O HOW IT REACH Hampton, Va.-The Locus Street Social Settlement in this town was found ed about twenty years ago by Mrs. Harris Barrett, a graduate of Hampton institute in the class of 1854. The work, which began with a few girls of the immediate neighborhood, has reached out into every section of the community. These are clubs and classes for boys, girls, mothers and grandmothers. Sessions are held every afternoon and evening eight months in the year. MISS HARRIS BARRETT. The Women's club, known as the homemakers club of this organization, has several departments, all of which work for some phase of home in provement. Each woman works in the department in which she is most interested. All come together, however, at intervals to work out and discuss problems of equal interest to all. The child's welfare department has two divisions. In one talks are given to young mothers on the care and feeding of infants, treatment of colds, care of sick children, the dangers of soothing stumps and patent medicines. In the other talks are given on the care and management of children. THE GREAT MISSIONARY WORK IN NEW ENGLAND Scope of Enlargement Plan Adopted by the Baptist Convention - Many Boards.

THE PITTSBURGH COURIER how to make the home attractive and how to keep girls and boys off the streets. Other departments are poultry, home garden, flower lovers, quilting and plain sewing. In the latter department simple garments are made for children and house aprons for busy housekeepers. At the Hampton institute farmers' conference, 1912, this latter department took first prize for the most practical and convenient house aprons. Instructionals are given in cooking, rug weaving and work among boys. A country fair is held annually under the management of the Homemakers' club. When we bear one speak of social work one is apt to think only of the larger things with which it concerns itself, such as government, public health, reforming of criminals, etc., but in this organization valuable social work is done in the home and immediate neighborhood, and the methods and systems used are in reach of every man and woman who is interested in home improvement. In the plain sewing department many simple garments are made for children out of old garments as well as new cloth. These are a great help to the children's welfare department in carrying out its plan of keeping the children in school. These garments are sold to parents for a small sum with the understanding that such parents see to it that their children are sent to school. The work of the organization since its inception has proved the wisdom of its founder. It is supported for the most part by voluntary contributions and entertainments. Mrs. Harris Barrett, besides having the management of all of this work, is also president of the Virginia Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, which is doing a great zoolog among the masses of people throughout the state. She is also second recording secretary of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs. A more different and painstaking woman would be hard to find in any organization. Hampton is proud of her, as it is also of him fields of graduates scattered through the country, so that it may be justly said that notwithstanding the many industrial schools and institutes for higher learning for colored people Hampton institute is the mother of them all.

DREW THE COLORED GYPSY SMITH He Conducted One of Washington's Greatest Revivals. Many Joined Church. Washington. No one tale in human history is more dramatic than that of a man who stands single handed and alone against a mae hae or continuation. Hannibal, the Carthaginian general, by the sheer force of his transcendent genius crushed and annihilated one Roman army after another and almost hambled the pride and broke the strength of Rome, the one imperial city in the annals of history. Demosthenes by his tongue alone for seventeen years held at bay one of the greatest generals Greece ever produced. Napoleon Romperte, a foreigner and a soldier of fortune, at the head of the army of France changed the map of Europe, made and unmade kings and for years successfully defied the combined strength of Europe and only met his Waterloo through the failure of one of his generals to appear at the crucible moment. In our own/day we have the spectacle of Foraker, single hauled and alone in the face of a hostile administration and an indifferent senate and country, winning a great victory for the discharged colored soldiers. These thoughts occurred to the writer recently as he sat in the pulpit of the great Cosmopolitan Temple Baptist church in Washington. Packed from the altar to the door, it reflected that it was the personality of Dr. S. P. W. Drew, the colored Gypsy Smith, which drew the crowd together. (Continual on Page Eight.) MAN 108 YEARS OLD TAKES A BRIDE OF 73 MAN 108 YEARS OLD TAKES A BRIDE OF 73 Paterson, N. J.--All known marriage records, so far as the age of the contract parties is concerned were erected here when Timothy Griffin, 30 years old, and Lucy Woody, 10 years widowed by a minister. Griffin and his bride nominally have been married for more than 50 years, having been slaves on the slave plantation in North Carolina before the war, and, according to the North Carolina history, having entered into the congenital state by the old slave custom of jumping over a broom-stack. Inventively they decided upon a religious ceremony. BISHOP DESIGNS AN EMBLEM FOR THE RACE Cleveland, O. After hearing a sore to the throat that every race has a bug but the colored man, Rev J. Laino, of this city, a bishop of the Zion African National church, designed an emblem candle which, he said, his children has decided to adopt. The flag has twelve stars in a field of purple and twelve stars of red, white and blue. The purple represents the robe Christ wore before the crucifixion; the red "our sins that shall be made white as snow; the white, purity of the apostles, and the like the Negroes' loyalty to the United States. SHREWD INDIAN LEADER CAPTURED GARRISON John Greenleaf Whittier, justly entitled the American poet of freedom, used the story of Mogg Megone for the framework of many of his most tifful poems, in which are depleted various sketches and scenes of New England and its early inhabitants. Mogg Megone was a leader among the Saxon Indians in the bloody war of 1677. He attacked and captured the garrison at Black point Oct. 12 of that year and cut off, at the same time, a party of Englishmen near Saxon river. From a deed signed by Mogg Megone in 1644 and from other records it seems that previous to the war Megone had mingled much with the colonists. On this account he was probably selected by the principal sachems as their agent in the treaty signed in November, 1676 SPECIAL NOTICE. PERSONAL REGISTRATION The voters of the City of Pittsburgh are hereby notified that if they desire a register in order to vote at the lection on November 5, 1912, they must seek their vote application for voting at their respective well The last day to be assessed in order to pay a tax for the November election is September 5, 1912, and the last day to pay a tax is October 5, 1912. PITTSBURG PA., AUGUST 30, 1912. LABOR DAY ANCIENT KNIGHTS AND DAUGHTERS OF AFRICA MEET An Organization Which is Strong Among Our People in the Middle West. St. Louis: The Ancient Knights and Daughters of Africa, an organization which is strong among our people in the middle west, of which William Herbert Fields is the grand master, holds its grand session recently, with the annual session delivered by Dr. W. Sampson Brooks, at St. Paul's chapel. The feature of the occasion was the address of welcome by Judge Hugo Munch of the circuit court, who told the 2,400 persons present that with faith in themselves, cooperative effort in business and the trades, coupled with the unexampled triumphs of the race in the acquisition of property and education, which the future would see grow and augment, no force of circumstance, no bigotry or prejudice could withstand their onward march to the heights of progress. Young men and women largely make up this order, and the chionion voice of the Judge, white hatred and venerable, rich in wisdom and experience, was a trumpet call to duty and achievement. Fairness of United Railways Company. The United Railways company, the monster corporation which controls the street railway system of the city, opened the door of opportunity to the colored laborers by offering employment to all who wanted to work at a daily wage of 81.75 The men will be given transportation to and from labor, with chance for advancement to those who proved most efficient. These riffs in the clouds evidence that the sun of favor still shines. Happenings in Political Circles. The failure of Dr Charles Henry Phillips to secure the nomination to congress from the Twelfth congressional district is what might be termed a fruitful failure—fruitful in that it demonstrated the fact that 2,000 colored men could support a member of the race who sought political preferment through the medium of their support. True, hundreds could not see their duty clear and therefore voted for the successful white man, but it was a notable thing that the young manhood of the race stood to their guns, polling a vote for Phillips that has won the respect of the politicians as never before. LAWRENCEVILLE TEAM TO PLAY CLAY'S GIANTS There promises to be a hot old tone at Beaulah park Saturday afternoon, when the Lawrenceville team, who are rivals of the Clay's Giants will try to down the colored boys in what is expected to be grudge battle, as the Clay's Giants are out for revenge for the defeat the Lawrenceville boys handed them at Exposition park on July 4, when the Lawrenceville team won the game in the ninth inning on a close decision by the surprise that nearly caused a riot. The giants are making great headway preparing for their athletic meet and field day at Beaulah park in honor of Lunencapation day on September 22. It has just been announced that the athletes, who will compete in the different events will be the crack Daley Rifles, a military organization. VARIETY OF FOOD PRODUCTS RAISED AT INSTITUTE Farming Was the First Industry Started at Tuskegee—Now Embraces 2300 Acres. The industries at the Trussgee (Alan institute are grouped into three departments, the school of agriculture, the industries for girls and the department of mechanical industries. The courses in agriculture are given in Milbank hall, a modern building erected in 1909 at a cost of $26,000. Farming was the first industry started at the institute, and the school farm in thirty years has grown until it embraces 2,300 acres. Of this eighty acres form a truck garden on which is raised produce for the school, eighty acres constitute an orchard, 840 acres form the tract for general farming, while 1,300 acres comprise an acres given over to pastures and woodland. The dairy herd contains 227 head of cattle, breeders, yearlings and calves, with 105 milk cows "at the pall." The farm also has 502 hogs and 145 horses, mules and colts, while the poultry yard contains 3,000 fowls. The farm work is carried on by 228 studepts, forty bred men and eighteen instructors. Last year 632 tons of enslage, 12,000 bushels of sweet potatoes, 3,500 bushels of corn and 3,650 bushels of oats were grown on the general farm, while the truck garden yielded 115,453 pounds of greens, 1,116 dozen bunches of lettuce, 465 bushels of onions, 3,570 watermelons, 328 bushels of beans, 53 bushels of beets, 783 bushels of tomatoes, 321 bushels of rutabagas, 3,150 dozen ears of green corn, 2,064 melons andantaloupes, 57 bushels of white potatoes and 258 bushels of peas, this enumeration being given as an indication of the variety of the table at Tuskegee and the manner in which the pupils are being saturated in one of the many ideas of Tuskegee that one indication of civilization is a variety of food products. "One of God's objects in surrounding us with vegetables, with grain, berries and flowers," says Booker Washington. "is to help us to make our bodies better fitted for the uses of life, to make our bodies stronger, to make them more healthful. When I go to church and hear people preach for hours on all kinds of subjects, especially in country districts, where the soil is fitted for growing all kinds of vegetables, all kinds of fowl, how much I wish the minister would take a few hours and teach the people how to fill their bodies with some of the beautiful things with which nature has surrounded them." ON THE JOB (By Samuel R. Rosemond.) Follow. If could be successful. Chase that slumber from your feet. Leisure is always more restful. When one's duty is complete. There's a time for honest effort. Don't devote that time to play. Know that you've won is comfort. When you close a busy day. Wonder fortune may be waiting. Opportunity is there. Don't deceive yourself debating. Jump right in, demand your share. As the war of life you're waging. Make each honest pulsing throb Tell the world that you're engaging In the fray--you're on the job. JAMES H. ANDERSON ASSEMBLY CANDIDATE What His Election Would Mean to Colored People in New York. A Splendid Tribute. New York.--The following statement in a recent issue of the Mercantile and Financial Times, published in this city, concerning the political aspirations of James H. Anderson, founder and editor in chief of the Amsterdam News, is worthy of more than passing notice. The subject is worthy of the tribute, and the facts are not in any wise overstated. The Times says: "When James H. Anderson, the editor of the Amsterdam News, with offices at 17 West One Hundred and Thirty-fifth street, this city, announced the other day his candidacy for the JAMES H. ANDERSON. assembly from the Thirty-fifth assembly district a considerable stir was caused in Harlem politics. Should Mr. Anderson be successful in his ambition—and it is hoped he will—it will be the first time that the colored population in New York will have a member of their own race in the legislative halls at Albany. Mr. Anderson, who has been a resident of New York for the last twenty-nine years, has taken an active interest in all matters pertaining to the bettering of municipal conditions. He established the Amsterdam News on Dec. 4, 1900, and ever since this weekly publication, which is alive with the TOUSSAINT L'OUVERTURE BRAVE HAITIAN GENERAL He Was a Slave on the Plantation de Libertas Belonging to Mr. Bayon. Toussaint L'Ouverture, the black chieftain of Haiti, was a slave on the Plantation de Libertas, belonging to M. Bayou. When the rising of the Negroes took place, in 1791, Toussaint refused to join them until he had aided M. Bayou and his family to escape Baltimore. The white man had discovered in Toussaint many noble qualities and had instructed him in some of the first branches of education, and the preservation of his life was owing to the Negro's gratitude for his kindness. In 1797 Toussaint L'Ouverture was appointed by the French government general in chief of the armies of Santo Domingo and as such signed the convention with General Maitland for the evacuation of the island by the British. From this period until 1801 the island under the government of Toussaint was happy, tranquil and prosperous. The miserable attempt of Napoleon to re-establish slavery in Santo Domingo, although it failed of its intended object, proved fatal to the Negro chieftain. Treacherously seized by Le Clerc, he was hurried on board a vessel by night and converted to France, where he was continued in a cold subterranean dungeon at Biossan, where in April, 1803, he died. The treatment of Toussaint finds a parallel only in the murder of the Duke D'Engheul. It was the remark of Godwin in his lectures that the West Indian Islands since their first discovery by Columbus could not boast of a single name which deserves comparison with that of Toussaint L'Ouverture.

PUBLIC RECORD news of the day. has made a strong headway. Mr. Anderson was for a time the assistant sexton in Henry Ward Beecher's church in Brooklyn, and that noted divine took a great interest in the young colored man who was a member of his congregation. During the twenty years that Anderson has been an active figure in public life he has taken a considerable interest in literary and debating societies. He has always worked for the improvement of human conditions, and this work he will continue in a greater degree should be honored with the election to the assembly. This aspirant for political honors stands squarely for equal protection for all and special privileges to none. He told a representative of this publication the other day that in case of nomination and election he will not only look after the rights and interests of his own people, but will fight for the welfare of the people in general. It is no more than right that matters coming before legislative discussions in reference to the privileges of the colored people should be debated by a representative of their own class. Mr. Anderson realizes perhaps more than many others that there are many local matters relating to the colored population in this city that need immediate attention. With a stalwart representative in Albany the colored citizens here could rest assured that they would receive the fullest attention in the legislative body. The colored man needs more of a political and industrial recognition, and by placing one of their own race in the lawmaking body the colored voters would acquire more civic pride, to which they are entitled. Mr. Anderson is a man of broad ideas, and it would be difficult to find a more level headed man from the Thirty-fifth assembly district than this aspirant for the position of assemblyman. This district can boast of over 6,000 colored votes, which would be more than necessary for the election of Mr. Anderson, who is a Republican candidate. It is to be expected that both Republicans and Democrats will rally to his support, and in doing so they would display good judgment. GENERAL GRAND COURT OF THE WEST H. OF J.

AUGUST 30. 1912 CHAPTER XVII—Continued. "Good!" exclaimed the editor. "That ain't all," said Colonel Bill triumphantly. "I got here a signed paper witnessed before Justice of the Peace Jennings, the only one we had, and signed by me and several other men, which swears they heared Breeden say his wife killed him and that they seen this thirty-two bullet took out of his breast, the autopsy bein' public like the fun real. And it's made out in due form." "It quite satisfactory," said the editor, glancing at it and passing it over to Shaw. "So you see we fellers kind o' thought Fordyce done a man's part in takin' the blame on himself, and I always kept these things. I thought they might turn up handy sometime." "You did well." "And that ain't all either," said Col. Bill Hamilton. "What more have you?" "Well, I've seen the woman. She's alive yet." "Naturally she must have been or they couldn't have got this story from her," was the answer. "Course. Well, the end of the story's this: Them people plunged south in that blizzard. We looked for 'em in the spring; but never expected to find their remains, cause it was more human flesh could stand, such a storm as that, and we naturally disposed they'd both died and got it up by the wolves when they was partly thawed out. But the other night I was takin' trip through the tenderloin—for observation purposes," said Colonel Bill as the ghost of a smile flickered on the face of the night editor—and I seen this woman and had an interview with her. She's plumb scared to death. The chief of police who got this stuff from her's frightened her out of her boots. But I bein' an old friend of hers, managed to calm her down, and I got her to greet me her story. She's always been sorry that she served Fordye the way she done. "I don't know how it is, but some how I got at the good side of her. You see these women are going straight to hell佩佩—although I can't got no inside information as to that—but however low they gift and however bad they are, there's always a soft spot in 'em somewhere. They're women still. And I guess I must've touched the soft spot in her somehow or other; for she told me the truth. At any rate she confessed the whole thing to me, and she said furthermore than when them two was gain' south in the storm, her horse fell down and died, and that Fordyce got off his horse, and she mounted it, and he walked hisself hangin' to the saddle strap, and she said that seen that the remainin' bronco was gin' out too, she shoved Fordyce down and gulped gawt and left him. And I got her signature to a paper confessin' it." Again Colonel Bill had a course to the tin box. "Here it is. Now if them don't make a complete case for my old friend, I don't know what 'do to do.' Where's the woman?" asked the editor, after he had examined the last paper that Colonel Bill had submitted. "Wells you won't find her," said the old miner slowly. "She's pulled up, stakes and hit the trail. I helped, and I don't mind sayin' that I said I'd see her through this thing. I don't believe she could be caught where she's gone. I don't believe there'll be any prussit made after her, but if she is, she's got to be let go. Pete Breeden was a dog if ever there was one, and he deserved all he got. That's all, I guess. Gosh! I'm dry!" Mr. Abbott, said the editor, "will you procure such refreshments as Colonel Hamilton is accustomed to take under such circumstances." "You know the dose, boy. I want It straight too. Same's we had the other night." "Yes, sir," answered the reporter. "I'll have it here in a minute." "New, Colonel Hamilton," said the editor, "you have rendered the people of New York, Mr. George Gormly, and incidentally The New York Planet about as great a service as we could expect to receive from a human being. What you have said throws an entirely new light upon Mr. Gormly's letter. He is in a much more admirable position through you. Why, he appears in this like a hero. Mr. Shaw, will you put this matter in shape to accompany Gormly's letter, while I comment editorially upon it?" At this moment the cub reporter entered with bottle and glasses. "I'm glad," said Colonel Bill as he poured out a generous portion, "to be of service. After you're all filled up," he continued as at his suggestion the two editors and even the cub reporter accepted a small drink from the large bottle, "we'll drink health and success to my young friend Fordyce, which is now named Gormly, and damnation to the chief of police and his gang!" And that was the kind of toast in which they could all heartily join. Whitefield had thought that the incident was completely covered and that nothing more could be added to the amazing story. Before the forms were finally locked, however, and the first edition went to press, the night editor, who still remained at his post, received a communication of such amazing importance that he inserted it after the editorial in large capitals, double leaded, as the completing touch to the most extraordinary announcement that he felt had ever appeared in The Planet. Something to Live Up To. Gormly was usually an early riser; but on the morning before election J. O. J. H. "It's All Right." He Shouted. day he slept until an unprecedentedly late hour. He was utterly worn out with the strain of the campaign, anyway, and the occurrences of this last night had almost prostrated him. There was ordinarily nothing much to be done on the next day, the Monday preceding election day. One final meeting was scheduled for Monday night, and that was all. It was perhaps nine o'clock when he woke up. He was soon bathed and dressed. He had signaled, as was his custom, at the proper time for the setting of his simple breakfast. It was ready for him when he entered the dining room. Somes were there in attendance as usual. A pile of morning papers lay on the buffet. Gorinny made a step toward them, but checked himself. "Why, he is right," should I spot my breakfast by reading what the newspapers have to say on the important subject of my confession. The news will kill. Let me at least eat in peace." "Hey, pardon, sir," began Sonia defensively. "I don't want you going to look over the papers, sir, before you eat!" "No, thank you, Sonia. I can guess pretty well what they will say." But Someone was unusually persistent; as well as greatly initiates, he had been up early and had read every scrap in every paper. "I hope you'll excuse me, Mr. Gormly," he began; "but I really think it'll add to your appetite if you will at least lock over The Planet, sir." Gormly shook his head and frowned. CHAPTER XVIII. "That will do, Somes!" he said somewhat shortly. "I will see the papers later." After this somewhat peremptory remark, the man, naturally subsided, though his interest and excitement were plainly visible in his nervous movements. He was usually the most delightfully cool and imperfurbable of attendants. "You mustn't take this thing so greatly to heart, Somes," said Gormly at last. "Indeed, sir," returned the man, "we're all so set on having you elected, and other things, sir, that—" What he 'was going to say remained unsaid, for with that delightful opportunity which can easily be compassed by chronicles of such veracious tales, I now am pleased to record that the bell of the door of the apartment cut across the further revelations of Somes with a loud, clear ring. "See who it is, Somes," said Gormly indifferently. "It's been ringing all morning, sir," said the man, turning to leave the room. "There's been the greatest crowd of people here, reporters and newspaper men, and Mr. Watson, and a number of gentlemen who are campaigning for you, and the street's packed with people outside, too." "Is my friend the chief of police there?" "No, sir. But there's a squad of officers under a sergeant, and they're making people that haven't any business go on." "Well, see who it is this time," said Gormly as the bell rang again. Somes was back in a few minutes. "It's the sailor, air. He says the reception room down stairs and the hall's filled with people asking to see you. He says the tenants of the building can't get in or out, and he wants to know what to do." Gormly glanced at the clock. It was half-nast nine. "Tell them that I will see them all at the store in the auditorium at half-past ten," he replied. "Tell them it's useless to wait here now; that I can't see anybody at present." Gormly heaved a deep sigh as he finished his breakfast. "Well," he thought, "I have to face them, and perhaps the sooner the better. Now, for the papers." He looked around for Somes; but that functionary had not yet appeared. He pushed back his chair, rose, walked over to the buffet, and picked up the first one. Somes had been careful to see that the top of the pile and the place of honor was occupied by The New York Planet. From the head- A man in a suit stepping down a chair. lines. Gormly saw, as he supposed he would, that his letter and the accompanying story covered the entire first page. He had scarcely glanced at it when Somes re-entered the room, if possible in greater agitation than ever. "Beg pardon, sir," he began, his usual method of address. "Well, what is it? "There's two people in the drawing room asking to see you." "But I thought I gave you orders not to admit anybody, to tell every body that I would see them at the auditorium in the store in the past ten." "Yes, sir, you did, sir. But I couldn't very well keep these people out." "Tell them I am busy," Gormly. "I have no time for anonymous callers." "Beg pardon, sir," said Somes again; "but really, Mr. Gormly. If you excuse me, sir, this presumption, you must see them." "Nearly, sir," answered the valet triffully. Gormly looked at him curiosity. There was so much excitement and nervousness in the man's manner, and yet it seemed to be a rather cheerful excitement, too, that it seemed to presage something of importance. At any rate, after a moment's reflection, the merchant decided from the strangeness of the situation that he would see the people mentioned. As Gormly entered the sunny, cheerful drawing room, the occupants rose to greet him. One was young Haldane, the other was his sister. Haldane was intensely excited. He rushed PITTSBURGH COURIER at Gormly with the enthusiasm of a boy; grasped his hand, and wrung it frantically. "It's all right," he shouted. "It's turned out better than anybody could have expected. It's killed the opposition dead. Everybody is for you now." Gormly heard him as in a dream. He allowed him to shake his hand as he might have shaken a pump handle, could that ancient and useful article have been found in New York. He was looking with all his soul in his glance at Eleanor Haldane, who had not come forward, but stood by the chair in which she had sat, her hands tightly clasping the low back of it. The color that had flooded her face when she first saw him had subsided almost as quickly as it had come. She was very pale and trembling. Thoughts, strange, bewildering, rushed through Gormly's mind. What could Miss Haldane be doing there? What did she want? Why had she come? She had heard of the incident. He remembered that her brother had taken her one copy of his letter last night. What did her presence mean? "I just came down here," continued young Haldane, "to tell you these things to relieve your anxiety, and to bring Eleanor. She wanted to see you about—well, you know about what, of course, and—" Gormly did not know at all; but he nodded vaguely. "Of course, by this time you've read all about it in The Planet. That old miner came in like a scene in a play. It was perfectly splendid, and I suppose he looked meaningly at his sister, his glance calling the color once more to her cheek, that "you have read the other communication, which is scarcely less important." Gormly stared at him in utter amazement. "I must say," he continued mischievously, "that for a man who is getting everything he wants as you are, you are singularly undemonstrative about it." "Mr. Gormly," interposed the woman, "I don't believe that you have read the morning papers?" "Not yet, Miss Haldane." "Oh!" cried the girl in great dismay. "By Jove!" exclaimed the young man, "to think of it! I should have had the first copy from the press brought to me if I had been in your place. Well, then, I'll tell you the whole story. Or you've got the Planet and you can read it you will. We'll excuse you while you glance over it; won't we sls?" "I don't understand," said Gormly, lifting the paper slowly. He had not yet taken his eyes off Miss Haldane. "On second thoughts," said the young man, "I guess Eleanor had better tell you herself. If you'll excuse me, you two, for a few moments, I'll go into the library." "Livingstone!" cried the girl imploringly; but her brother only laughed as he left the room, carefully closing the door behind him. "What is it that I am to be told, Miss Haldane?" asked Gormly, stepping toward her, paper still in hand. Miss Haldane was in a dilemma. She had been surprised when he had entered the room that Gormly had not greeted her differently. Her position was a tremendously difficult one at best, and his failure to read the paper had rendered it almost insupportable. "I think," she faltered at last, "that I had better go. You can see me later in the day, and—" "No," said Gormly resolutely, "you must not go yet. You came down here for some purpose. That fact that I have not read the papers seems to have affected you strangely. If you will give me five minutes, I can look them over and perhaps obtain some clue to your conduct; but I would rather you would tell me what it is, do what you were going to do, say what you were going to say when you came in, than try to find out from the newspapers." (TO BE CONTINUED) WHEN : YOUR WIFE FAINTS New Method of 'Resuscitation More Effective Than Usual Way of Applying Friction. When my wife faints, which in miserably often, I do not apply friction in the usual absurd way—rubbing backward and forward, which must alternately check and accelerate the passage of the blood—but taking hold of one of her hands with my left hand I place the thumb and finger of my right hand tight around her wrist and pass them firmly up toward her elbow. Having brought them back loosely to the wrist I pass them firmly up again, and when I have repeated the operation two or three times, sometimes on both arms, I have the pleasure of hearing the ejaculation, "I feel better now." When I first had recourse to this means of resuscitating my lady she exclaimed instinctively on two different occasions, without being at all aware that I had had any particular intention, "Oh, that is what I seem to want." From the invariable and immediate effect of this mode of friction I fatter myself that it is not unworthy the notion of the medical practitioner in the friction of cholera patients, a process which should be much oftener resorted to and more energetically persisted in than it generally is.—Letter to the Lancet. Introduction of Enfield was far from being the only country in which tea was not received with unanimous applause. The seventeenth century Dutch soffted at it as they watered. In France, Patin, the officer who waged war against the use of antimony, denounced tea almost as severely as "the impertinent novelty of the age." In Germany Hannemann trowned tea dealers as immoral members of society, lying in wait for the purses and lives of men. But strangest of all now seems the crushing snub administered in 1639 by the Russian ambassador to the court of the great mogul. Having received upon departing a large package of tea as a gift for the czar, he returned it with the excuse that he really could not number himself with a commodity for which he had no use. And today Russia is the land of the samover, always ready for the tea drinker. Altoona (By Gertrude Dawson) Mrs. Marie Curry of Philadelphia, who has been currying her niece. Mrs. Mattie E.

SSS DEMAND ANDO ‘@UPPLY. Pittsburgh: just now is enjoying an unique position in the industrial world. There is so much work to be done that the available supply of laborers is exhausted, and contrac tors are engaged in- bitter rivalry to secure the needed"help. Indeed piracy was recently resorted to when one contractor actually stole a Jot of imported® workmen from’ New York and others eastern cities by a competitor. It is interesting to note the position the Negro assumes fn this industrial struggle. True to the old adage “he’s on the fob.” Now comes the action of the great United States Steel Corporation send- ing down East and South and import: ing more than 100 experienced Nesro mill workers for their Homiestead plant * ‘Within recent years this practice of impogting Negroes for work In the Shute babeen resoried to on several ‘cccasions, This shows that the Ne- gro—it he makes good—can-find ent Bloyment and dissipates, to a degree pt least, the old cry of discrimination. "rhe steel Corpération intimates. that it prefers Negro workmen if they can be relied upon. Really, brother. in this day of Ken competition, if you sexpect to succeed do well that which you find te do, and above all culti. “vate the habit of reliability. is a.question as to why sich 2 agen of help should exist when er® so many. Negroes In the Hin and other Gistricts, seemingly unemployed, many of whom are con stadtly ‘calling that old cry of dis cMmination. It is bigh time that the Negroes of this community awoke to the sensibility of the fact that it the industrial world “it is ever the survival of the fittest, and that they should take advantage of the oppor tunity to at least supply @ portion 0 ‘the dewand. Let us hope that the.men recent Amporjed will reflect’ credit upon th Race by a demonstration of thy fact that there is within them that dogrge of reliability and steadfastness ‘which tends to success; and that their alm too, is the attainment,’ the privileges which go with ood cit dsenship. 7 STHE PENROSE INVESTIGATION. “When rogues fall out, the good peo pie get their deserts.” Is as applicable to politicians as to any class of wire palling trixters, as shown by the re ceat investigation of past. political “Geals,: put over dy Messrs, Penrose, pechbold, et aL. ~ Perhaps the most Interesting de- relopments came when the actions of the National Committee of the recent Republican National Convention were incidentally infected with the pro: ceedings by the interrogations of Sex. ator Borah, who wanted to know of Mr. Penrose how the Negro dele gates were purchased at, $5,000.00 per head by the committee. . THe Peno- sylvania Benger replied that ‘the “Committee MErcised eyery opportus- ity possible to restrict and “restrain the efforts to purchase colored Taft delegates at $5,000.00 per bead.” And im spite of the efforts to restrict and restrain the purchase of Negro dele- Rates, Mr.” Penrose did not tell who locked the 50 Negro delegates in a Chieago hotel while phite proxies yoted in the convention for them. This stomitiodies been made moré than once since the convention. and ‘we have yet to hear it refuted.

AMUSEMENTS At the Nixon Next Week Julian Eltinge, America's foremost delineator of feminine types, is coming to this city, heralded as "the one and only actor of the age to dignify the impersonation of beautiful women by artistic methods."

As the star of "The Fascinating Widow," a launchable musical face comedy, full of life, color and pretty girls, Eltinge enacts a dual role, that of Hal Blake, college man, and Mrs. Monte, "fascinating widow." Julian Eltinge's engagement in "The Fascinating Widow" will occur at the Nixon theater, beginning with a special Labor Day matinee Monday at popular prices. There will be a popular-priced matinee Wednesday, with no seat at $1.00, while the evening and Saturday matinee prices will range from 25c to $2.00. The Lyceum. An entirely new treatment of the story of the small town youth in a great city is presented in "The Country Boy" which Henry B. Harris, will present at the Lyceum theater next week. The great scene in "The Country Boy" is a typical theatrical boarding house. It represents the people found in such a place with the same verity which the other characters so convincingly represent and at the same time the funny side of these people's attitude toward life is so amusingly drawn that the audience is convulsed with laughter. There is much other amusing material in "The Country Boy," but this scene was sufficient to guarantee the success of the play. The Alvin. The regular season of 1912 and 1913 will be inaugurated at the Alvin theater on Monday afternoon (Labor Day), September 2, with the appearance of Nell O'Brien's American Minstrel Company, which contains the names of headliners in vaudeville, and the best blackface artists now appearing in minstrelsy. The engagement of this organization will prove a red-letter event in the season's theatricals. It will give the theatergoing public of Pittsburgh an opportunity to see the Alvin newly decorated, and respedent in new carpets, etc., and will mark the first time hark of Nell O'Brien at the head of his own minstrel organization. The sale of sale, for the minstrel engagement will open at the Alvin theater Thursday morning at 5 o'clock. The Duquesne The inauguration at the *Duquesne theater*, this week, of the regular season of the Harry Davis Stock Players was signalized by the presentation of that famous Belleco-De Mille stage classic, "The Charity Ball," and the event was further made doubly interesting by the readvent of Mary Hall, as leading lady of this much admired stock organization. This is the beginning of her third regular and fourth general season with the Davis Players. Augustus Thomas' most famous play "Arizona," which is one of the greatest dramas of Western American life ever given to the stage, is to be the picturesque and thrilling attraction at the Duquesne theater next week. The author of "Alabama" and "In Missouri," not only achieved his best State play in "Arizona" with its realistic and faithful pictures in the alkali lands, but he also accomplished in it his most intensely conceived plot. The Grand. The Meistersingers are singers of culture. They number 12 selosists and their performance is entitled "Camping Out." "Bud" Fisher shares the stellar honors of the show at the Grand this week. In a backyard scene, Tom Barry has laid his genre character comedy entitled "In Old New York," which Harry Beresford and company are enacting. Maud Lambert and Ernest R. Bali entertain with a polite drawing room, informal concert. Julius Tannen, the "chatterbox," justifies this appellation with a topical talk. Emma Francis and her Arabian whirlwind acrobats, present an original novelty said to be the only act of its kind on the stage. The second week of the vaudeville season of 1912-1913 will be ushered in at the Grand on Monday afternoon, in September 2 (Labor Day), with an unusual program. In point of novelty 'The Apple of Paris' will perhaps be the most attractive offering. It comes from Paris, and is at the threshold of its first. American tour. Supplementing Mr. Paris offers Eddie Leonard the famous miniature; he will be assisted by Mabe Russell in a plantation specialty in which Mr. Leonard's new songs will be introduced. The Harris. There is no actress before the theater-loving public of this country who enjoys a greater vogue than does Corinne, the musical comedy star, who is the headline attraction at The Harris this week. Corinne was the star in George M. Cohan's "For the Minutes from Broadway" which she sang the "Mary, Mary," song will not be forgotten very soon.

The Gayety. "American Beauties," a new entertainment which is presented for the first time at the Gayetty this week, has been a vexations, not to say, a costly problem; this trying to solve just what kind of an entertainment was best suited for a burlesque audience; how difficult this has been to procure may be realized from the fact that there are so few entertainments of the sort which can be called successful. The "American Beauties" Company has solved the problem by contracting Cook and Lorenz, who were the throne trotters of the Winter Garden, the Folly Bergere and the Girl, a musical comedy that was a riot for two years in New York. Cook and Lorenz, Miss Bryon, a star of musical comedy, Miss May Holder, Sylvia Jason, Marie Brandon, Edward Linderman, James Huxhes, Thomas, Glenroy will sing and dance.

SELLER, Director of Evening Department, The Moody Bible Institute, Chicago, IL) DEATH OF JOHN THE BAPISTIST LESSON TEXT-Mark 6:14-22 GOLDEN TEXT-"Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee the crown of life."-Rev. 2:10 The story of Hamlet and Banquo's ghost is no more vivid or dramatic than the story of the tragedy of John the Baptist "And King Herod heard of him," v. 4. Of course Herod would hear of the rising young cousin of John who was creating such a stir throughout Galliee. His coarse, sinful, licentious, heart cringed at the rebuke of such a life of purity, one that performed so many good deeds, one who was constantly ministering to others as contrasted with the life of Herod, who only ministered to his own selfish justs. Small wonder he should exclaim, "It is John whom I beheaded," and one can hear in fancy the rising tide of terror that surged through his heart as he must have screamed. "He is risen from the dead!" The first three verses of the lesson are a vivid picture of how the fame of this young Galliee affected the conscience-stricken and guilty-hearted usurper upon the throne. Who was this Herod? In the first place, he was guilty of the sin of incest, for he had married the wife of his brother Philip, who was still living. From verse eighteen of the lesson we learn further that the bold and courageous John had rebuked him of this evil and as a result Herod had cast him into prison, and though he may have desired, yet he did not as yet dare to take his life. Added to this is the anger of a sinful woman. The purest flower that blooms is a godly woman. The vilest and most vindictive creature upon earth is most frequently a fallen woman. We need to remember in this case that Herodias was aware of the heights from which she had fallen for she was of Jewish descent. She had first married Herod Philip I, then eloped to marry this Herod Antipas, who was also her step-uncle and who at the time had a wife living. John a Just Man. This precipitated a war which resulted in the overthrow and utter loss of the army belonging to the father of Herod's lawful wife. Why did Herod hesitate to comply with all that Herodias desired? Verse 20 tells us, because John "was a just man and an holy." Righteousness is often a man's surest safeguard. Herod was not altogether devoid of conscience as we have already seen, and this is further evidence of that fact. Verse 20 adds that when Herod heard him he was "perplexed and heard him gladly." We believe that Herod was seeking some sort of a recanting upon the part of John, that he was glad (anxious) to hear from his lips some sort of statement that would justify his liberation and was perplexed over the persistence of John, who, though in prison, never for one moment lowered his standard of divine righteousness, nor trimmed his sails so as to catch the wind of Herod's popular favor. That this was John's attitude and that it was known to Herodias is evident from the beginning of the verse 21. "and when a convenient day was come." Herodias was all too ready and willing to seize her opportunity. To evidence her depths of deprivacy and also her anxiety, note that Herodias was willing to sacrifice the modesty of her own daughter to gain her cur. The use of the word "herself" v. 22 R. V., is evidence that it was an unusual thing for this daughter of a queen thus to exhibit herself. Now note the oath of the liquor and lust-driven king. What an appalling request. What a terrible consequence. What lengths men will go to "keep their word" given thoughtlessly or uttered in the heat of passion. This is one of the blackest pictures of history. A lust-driven, lientious potentate, a rebuked but vindictive queen, state of these same passions. Not Real Sorrow. The child of the home thrust forth before the gaze of the court to help secure the ends of a murderous mother. A godly, fearless saint who had a great message from a great God, and without halting, hesitancy or compromise continued to deliver that message till stricken down in the midst of an orgy of passion. Herod's sorrow was not "unto repentance" (v. 26) but rather that of a guilty conscience. We need now to return again to the first verse of the lesson and we can well believe it must have been a sad wall. "He is risen" (v. 16). History tells us Herod lost his kingdom and that he and Herodias died in exile. Let us turn to this awful picture and look at John. How different. Thus dies he who was the greatest burn of a woman. Thus died one who dared to rebel evil in high places. One who would not compromise to save his life and one who was faithful unto death (see the Golden Text). Can we hostile to believe that John received his caesar? A summarized outline for this lesson is as follows: I. A Terror-Stricken Conscience v. 14-16. J. Jesus name spread abroad, v. 14 M. Men sought to explain Jesus, v. 15 Greensburg (By Warrick Anderson.) The morning service at Bethel Sunday was well attended.

If everyone has seen it at some time or other, then why doen't the railroad let the sign rot 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 Cara." 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 'round about Christmas time, it certainly will pay you to run advertisements about all the time.

WRIGHT Sheyney, Pa. - The Institute For Colored Youth, at this place is one of the oldest normal schools for our people in the United States. The institution was established through the benevo ence of the Owlsboro of Pennsylvania in 1971. It has accomplished much for intellectual development among the people of the state. Professor H. M. Browne, principal of the school, was fortunate this year in having Dr. R. R. Wright, Sr. deliver a series of lectures to the students at the summer school. Dr. Wright's subject was "Sociology For Teachers." The spirit of industry among the colossal people of the state was never so widely felt as it has been during the past five years. Dr. Wright's new book on the Pennsylvania Negro—a study in economic history—has added new impetus to the already growing spirit of material uplift which seems to pervade every section of the commonwealth. Difficulties must clear the track when the industrial train is driven by the forces of unity, co-operation and self reliance. Homewood Notes (By John Childress.)

The first contribution received by Dr. J. Garland Penn for the work of the Freedmen's Aid society since he became secretary was from a woman in Ohio. The donor expressed the belief that under Dr. Penn's administration the work of the organization would enter upon a new era of prosperity. Certainly the educational institutions under the fostering care of this grand old abolitionist the society should take on new life and vigor by reason of the great good which has come to the race from this source in the past. There are twenty-three schools in the south looking to the Freedmen's society for financial support and administrative guidance. They are located in important centers where the masses of our people live. The young men and women of the race should dock to these schools for instruction, where they may obtain a good education which will fit them for safe and safe leadership.
