THE PITTSBURGH COURIER his life's work. He was born in Mechanicsville, Sumter county, S. C. He was educated in the public schools of his native town and prepared for college at Benedict institute (now Benedict college) at Columbia, S. C. He then entered Colgate university, from which he graduated in 1887, taking both the A. B. and M. A. degrees. After graduating from Colgate Dr. Gilbert returned south to begin his life's work. He was the first president of the Florida institute at Live Oak, Fla., and the founder of the Florida Baptist academy, in Jacksonville, Fla. As a pastor, he has been successful and has held some of the most important charges of the connection. For seven years he was pastor of the Mount Olivet Baptist church in New York, during which time he did much for the intellectual and spiritual life of the church. While in New York he took an additional course in Union Theological seminary, from which he graduated in 1897. He was later called to the pastorate of the First Baptist church in Knoxville, Tenn., where he remained two years. While at Knoxville within the space of two years he built one of the finest parsonages to be found in the connection, valued at $4,600. From Knoxville he was called to the presidency of Selma university. Dr. Gilbert has been at Selma two years, during which time the school has had a steady growth. Speaking of the school, Dr. Gilbert said: "During the two years I have been president the school has had a rapid growth. We had last year an enrollment of 600 students who came from various sections of the south. We have a strong faculty of twenty-two teachers and a property valuation of $125,000. The course of study has been enlarged. We have provided for the sanitary safety of the school by installing a sewer system." Situated as it is in the heart of the black belt of the south, it wields wide influence and has done much toward shaping the lives of young men and women of that section. Dr. Gilbert, as the head of the college, will reflect high credit upon the rating of the school. He is a man of strong and forceful personality and suggests in a striking manner the capable educator. He speaks fluently nine languages. Dr. Gilbert attributes a great deal of his success to Mrs. Gilbert, who is his constant companion in all of his works.

The Event Recalls Many Incidents of the Dark Days When the Slave Pen Was the Fashion REFUSED DISMISSION LETTER Sept. 22, 1912, was the fiftieth anniversary of the signing of Lincoln's proclamation of freedom to the slave. The event recalls one of a thousand or more incidents of the dark days when bloodhounds, slave drivers, the slave pen and the auction block were the fashion. Anthony Burns, who was bought out of slavery by the abolitionists of Boston and presented to himself, took the gift with many expressions of gratitude and straightway went to Oberlin, O., to educate himself for the ministry. Upon his arrival at Oberlin he, childlike, wrote back to Union to his old pastor for a letter of dismission from the church he so wickedly ran away from when he ran away from slavery. The pastor, Rev. John Clark, made the following answer: "The Church of Christ at Union. Lanquier country, Va. "Whereas, Anthony Burns, a member of the church, has made application to us by letter to our pastor for a letter of dismission in fellowship, in order that he may unite with another church of the same faith and order; and "Whereas, it has been satisfactorily established before us that the said Anthony Burns abscinded from the service of his owner and refused to return voluntarily, thereby disobeying both the laws of God and man, although he subsequently obtained his freedom by purchase, yet we have now to consider him only as a fugitive from labor (as he was before his arrest and restoration to his owner) and therefore "Resolved unanimously that he be excommunicated from the communion and fellowship of the church of Jesus Christ. Done by order of the church in regular church meeting this 20th of October, 1855. "W. W. WEST, Clerk."

FOR FORTY YEARS PASTOR OF UNION BAPTIST CHURCH A Baltimore Congregation to Honor Dr. Harvey Johnson's Long Pastorate In That City Baltimore. — The Rev. Dr. Harvey Johnson will complete his forgiveness continues year as pastor of the Union Baptist church on the first Sunday in November. In the summer of 1872 a young man not yet thirty years of age who had just been graduated from the old Wayland seminary, was asked to become pastor of the church. He agreed and on the first Sunday in November, 1872, entered upon his dutter as pastor. From that time began a service for Baltimore and the whole race which has made the name of Dr. Harvey Johnson a household word in the United States. Always uncompromising in his attitude toward wrongs against the race, he was in the forefront of a number of battles that were waged in the interest of the race in this state. In 1876 two young men, James H. Wolff and Charles S. Taylor, came to Baltimore and hung out their shingles as attorneys in the old Douglass Institute. The contention was made that they had no right to practice in the state courts, and Dr. Johnson helped to raise the funds necessary to test the case in the court of appeals. The decision was against the two colored lawyers, and as they had only the right to practice in the federal courts they soon left the state. Later Dr. Johnson found out that Charles S. Wilson, then a teacher in one of the county schools, was a graduate of the law school of Boston university. An attorney was secured, and the reverend minister almost single handed carried on the work which resulted in colored lawyers being given the right to practice law in Maryland after March. 1885. He was one of the pioneers in the movement that resulted in the placing of colored teachers in the public schools of Califmore. He successfully fought that provision in the law which protected only white women, also discriminations on boats plying the Chesapeake bay, and was active in three distranchisement fights in Maryland. He has aided many young men to prepare for the ministry, and the Clayton-Williams university, this city, is a monument to his interest in education and his liberality. Though other Baptist churches in Maryland contribute to the support of this school, Dr. Johnson and his congregation are the largest contributors. A movement is under way for a public recognition of the distinguished service rendered the race by Maryland's grand old man. Dr. Johnson's home, 1923 Drulid Hill avenue, contains priceless records concerning the race during the past forty years. A number of his views have been incorporated in the "Nations From a New Point of View," a book which riddles some of the contentions made by whites regarding the race. BISHOP SHAFFER WILL BE AT BROWN'S CHAPEL To Hold Meeting For the Purpose of Trying to Adjust Difficulties. On standing at Temple called a meeting for Friday night at the church for the purpose of trying to adjust the difficulties that have arisen by the removal of their former beloved pastor, Rev. E. H. Morris. Hesion Shaffer will be present. It is a laid out that the members have no objection to Rev. Bentley, but feel an injustice has been done their former pastor, whose work since being their pastor, justified his return to them for another year. Rev. Morris added much to the appearance and value of the church in having it so beautifully decorated and painted. The work has all been paid for Allen university, in Columbia, S. C. recently opened for the school year of 1912-13 with a large enrollment. The new president. Rev. Dr. W. W. Beckett, has plans under way for extending the benefits of the school to a larger number of students. It is President Beckett's intention to make Allen university one of the best schools in the south. In addition to his duties as president Dr. Beckett will have charge of the classes in mental and moral philosophy. He is well known for the able work which he did while secretary of missions for the A. M. F. church.

Jack Keith, a Virginian, now a border plainsman, is riding along the Santa Fe trail on the lookout for fencing. He's patrolling the police camp. He are at a distance and then sees a team attached to a wagon and at full gallop pursued the wagon and the wagon the raiders have massacred two men and departed. He searches the victims finding papers and a gun. He resolves to hunt down the murderers. Keith is arrested at Carson City, charged with the Black Bart. He goes to jail fully realizing the poril of arrift border justice. A companion in his cell, he grooves to the music that he knew the Keith family back in Virginia. CHAPTER V. (Continued.) "I dunho, Massa, I done beerd 'em talk some 'bout dey plans, an 'bout some gal dey wanted ter fin', but I didn't gitt no right sense to it. De Gin'ral, he was a might still man." "The General? Whom do you mean? Not Waite?" "John Sibley done called him dat." Then Keith remembered—just a dim, misty thread at first, changing slowly into a clear recollection. He was riding with despatches from Long-street to Stonewall Jackson, and had been shot through the side. The first of Jackson's troops he reached was a brigade of North Carolinians, commanded by General Waite—General Wilkins Waite. He had fallen from his horse at the outposts, was brought helpless to the General's tent, and another sent on with the papers. Andairs. Waite had dressed and bandaged his wound. That was where he had seen that woman's face before, with its haunting familiarity. He drew the socket from beneath his shirt, and gazed at the countenance revealed, with new intelligence. There could be no doubt—it was the face of her who had cared for him so tenderly in that tent at Manassas before the fever came and he had lost consciousness. And that, then, was Wilkins Waite lying in that shallow grave near the Cimmaran Crossing, and for whose death he had been arrested. Twas a strange world, and a small one. What a miserable ending to a life like his—a division commander, of the Army of Northern Virginia, a Lieutenant-Governor of his state. What strange combination of circumstances could ever have brought such a man to this place, and sent him forth across those Indian-scouted plains? Surely nothing ordinary. And why should those border—desperadoes have followed, through dirt miles of disolation, to strike him down? It was not robbery, at least in the ordinary sense. What then? And how was "Black Bart" involved? Why should he be sufficiently interested to swear out a warrant, and then assist in his arrest? There must be something to all this not apparent upon the surface—some object, some purpose ahrhoured in mystery. No mere quartel, no ordinary feud, no accident of meeting, no theory of commonplace robbery, would account for the deed, or for the desperate efforts now being made to conceal it. Some way, these questions, thus surging upon him, became a call to live, to fight, to unravel their mystery. The memory of that sweet-faced woman who had bent above him when the fever began its mastery, appealed to him now with the opportunity of service. He might be able to clear this, bring to her the truth, gave her from despair, and hand over to justice the murderers of her husband. It was up to him alone to accomplish this—no one else knew what he knew, suspected what he suspected. And there was but one way—through escape. "To remain there in weak surrender to fate could have but one ending, and that swift and sudden. He had no doubt as to 'Black Barts' purpose, or of his ability to use the 'Red Light' outfit as desired. The whole plan was clearly evident, and there would be no delay in execution—all they were waiting for was night, and a lax guard. He glanced about at the walls' of the room, his eyes grown hard, his teeth clenched. "Neb," he said shortly. "I guess that was your outfit all right, but they were not killed by Indians. They were in down by a gang from this town—the same fellows who have put you and me in here. I don't know what they were after—that's to be found out later—but the fight you put up at the camp smelled their game for once, and led to your arrest. They failed to get what was wanted in Carson, and so they trailed the party to the Gimman Crossing. Then I got on their trick, and fearing the result, they've landed me also. Now they'll get rid of us as both as best they can. These fellows won't want any trial—that would be liable to give the whole trick away—but they have got to put us where we won't talk. There is an easy way to do this, and that is by a lynching bee. Do you get my drift, Neb." The whites of the negro's eyes were very much in evidence, his hands gripping at the beach on which he sat. 'Ao de Lawd, yes, Massa Jack. I sho' does. I corchorates de whole thing.' "Then you are willing to take a chance with me?" "Willin! Why, Massa Jack, I see overjoyed; I call grine leave yer no mo.' I soho' grine ter be yo' nigger. What yo' grine do for?" Keith ran his eyes over the walls, carefully noting every peculiarity. "We'll remote here quietly just asong as it is nightly. Neb,' he replied finally, "but mall try every board and every log to discover some way out, but the mountain grows dark enough to slip away without being seen, we're pot to hit the ground.

"I lay in' on a board what I'd worked loose at one end," he whispered hoarsely, "back ob de bench, but I couldn't jerk it out wild'out something ter pry it up wild." "Where is it?" "Right yere, Massa Jack." It was a heavy twelve-inch plank, part of the flooring, and the second from the side-wall. Keith managed to get a grip next to the black fingers, and the two pressed it up far enough for the white man to run one arm through the opening up to his shoulder and groove about below. that." acknowledged the oars of smoke circling his he he hasn't any brains.

I reckon we could pry that plank up with the bench, Neb, but it's liable to make considerable racket. Let's hunt about first for some other weak spot." They crept across the floor, testing each separate board, but without discovering a place where they could exert a leverage. The thick planks were tightly spiked down. Nor did the walls offer any better encouragement. The lifted himself to the grated window, getting a glimpse of the world without, but finding the iron immovable, the screws solidly imbedded in the outside wood. He dropped to the floor, feeling baffled and discouraged. "It will have to be the plank back of the bench, Neb." he announced briefly, wiping the perspiration from his face. "Get down there, and work it as loose as you can without making any noise, while I keep my ear to the door and listen for any interruption." They took turns at this labor, discovering a loose nail which gave an opening purchase at the crack, thus enabling the insertion of a small wooden block; and insuring space for a good finger grip when the right time came. A sleepy Mexican brought in their dinner; and set it down on the bench without a word, but on his return with supper; the marshal accompanied him, and remained while they ate, talking to Keith, and staring about the room. Fortunately the single window was to the west, the last rays of the sun struck the opposite wall, leaving the space behind the bench in deep shadow. Whatever might be the plans of "Black Bart" and his cronies, Keith was soon convinced they were unknown to Hicks, who had evidently been deceived into thinking that this last arrest had created no excitement. "That's why we picked yer up so early," he explained, genially. "Bart said if we we got to yer to alter the boys woke up they'd never hear nuthin' about it, an' so that wouldn't be no row. He didn't even think thar'd be enny need o' keepin' a special guard enny night, but I reckon I won't take no such chance as that, an' I'll have couple o' deputies prowlin' round fer luck. When Carson does wake up, she's hell." He left them tobacco and pipes, and went away evidently convinced that he had performed his full duty. The two prisoner, puffing smoke-rings into the air, heard the heavy clang of the iron bar falling into place across the door, and sat looking into one another's faces through the deepening twilight. In the mind of both black and white reposed the same thought. The sergo was first to break the silence. "Fears ter me, Massa Jack, him his pere Bart passon am mighty samen ter hab no suspicions rained" "Anybody but Hickin would see BEER Mean to Steal Dem Hoses? that." acknowledged the other, the rings of smoke circling his head, "but he hearn't any brains. It was pure nerve that got him the job. Well, this is one time that 'Bart pusson' is going to find an empty coop. We'll get out, Neb, just as soon as it gets dark enough. Hicks isn't likely to put on his extra guard for an hour yet, and the 'Red Light' bunch won't be fit for business much before midnight. By that time we'll be in the sand hills, heading south. able to give them a run for their money—we'll have horses, too, if we can find them." The negro's eyes shone white. "Fo' de Lawd's sake, Massa," he protested, "dat'd sho' be a hangin' job if ebber dey cotched us." Keith laughed, knocking out the ashes from his pipe. "With an hour's start that will be the least of my troubles," he said, quietly. It was dark enough for their purpose in half an hour, the only gleam of remaining color being the red glow of the negro's pipe, even the opening in the iron grating being blotted from sight. Keith, staring in that direction, failed to perceive any distant glimmer of star, and decided the night must be cloudy, and that time for action had come: Gulded by Neb's pipe bowl, he touched the boy on the shoulder. "Knock out your ashes, and shuffle about lively with your feet, while I pry up the board." In spite of his slenderness, Keith possessed unusual strength, yet no extortion on his part served to start the loosened plank sufficiently for their purpose. Ripping a strip from the bench he managed to pry the hole somewhat larger, arranging the bench itself so as to afford the necessary leverage, but even then his entire weight failed to either start the At 60 Degree --- How the Intense Cold of Winter in the Far Northwest Affects Man and Animals. "I asked an Alaskan pioneer who was crossing to his old home in Sweden what happened when the thermometer goes down to 60 and 80 degrees below zero," said Marshall J. Taylor of Seattle, Wash. "At 60 degrees below," he said. "the exposed ears, hands or nose will freeze in going a quarter of a mile under ordinary circumstances; but the children go and come from school as usual without suffering from the cold provided their faces and hands are protected. "They soon get used to it. But caution must be used to avoid drawing the cold air into the lungs, and it is dangerous to breathe through the mouth.

The breath which is extended warms the air in the lung before it is At 60 Degrees Below Zero CHAPTER VI. The Escape. THE PITTSBURGH COURIER spikes, or crack the plank. Some altercation began in the other room; the sound of angry voices and shuffling feet being plainly audible. It was clear to Keith that they must take the chance of a noise, and no better time than this could be chosen. "Here, Neb, take hold with me, and bear down—put your whole weight on it, boy." The two flung themselves upon the end of the bench, leaping up and down so as to add weight to power. Something had to give, either the stout wood of their improvised lever, or also the holding of the plank. For an instant it seemed likely to be the former; then, with a shrill screech, the long spikes yielded and the board suddenly gave. With shoulders inserted beneath, the two men heavened it still higher, ramming the bench below so as to leave the opening clear. This was now sufficiently ample for their passage of a man's body, and Keith, lowering himself, discovered the earth to be fully four feet below. The negro instantly joined him, and they began creeping about in the darkness, seeking some way out. A yodelly laid foundation of limestone along obstructed their patch to the open air. This had been laid in mortar, but of inferior quality, so that little difficulty was experienced in detaching sufficient to obtain hand hold. Working silently, not knowing what watchers might be already stationed without they succeeded in loosening enough the rock to allow them to come through, lying breathless in the open. Accustomed as they were to the darkness, they could yet see little. They were upon the opposite side from the town, with no gleam of lights visible, prairie and sky blending together into spectral dimness, with no sound audible but the continued quarrel in the front room of the jail. Keith crept along to the end of the building from where he could perceive the lights of the town twinkling dimly through the intense blackness. Evidently the regular evening saturnalia had not yet begun, although there was alreadysemblance of life about the numerous saloons, and an occasional shout punctured the stillness. A dog bowled in the distance, and the pounding of swift hoops along the trall told of fresh arrivals. An hour later and the single street of Carson City would be alive with humanity, eager for any excitement, ready for any wild orgy, if only once turned loose. That it would be turned loose, and also directed, the man lying on his face in the grass felt fully assured. He smiled grimly, wishing he might behold "Black Bart's" face when he should discover the flight of his intended victims. But there was no time to lose; every moment gained, added to their chance of safety. "Are those horses tied there by the blacksmith's shop?" he asked, pointing. The negro stared in the direction indicated, confused by the shadows thrown by the dim lights. "I reck'n dey am, Massa Jack; I done make out to." "Then two of them must belong to us; come on, boy." He ran forward, crouching behind every chance cover, and keeping well back behind the line of shacks. A slight depression in the prairie helped conceal their movements, and neither spoke until they were crouching together beside the wall of the shop. Then Neb, teeth chattering, managed to blurt out: "Fo' de Lawd's sake, yer don't actually mean ter steal dem hosses?" Keith glanced about at the other's dim, black shadow. "Sure not; just borrow 'em." "But dat a hangin' job in dis yere country, Massa Jack." "Sure it is if they catch us. But we'd be strung up anyway, and we can't be bung twice. Besties there is a chance for us with the pennies, and none at all without. An hour's start in the saddie, Neb, and this bunch back here will never even find our trail; I pledge you that. Come boy, stay close with me." (TO BE CONTINUED.) inhaled and drawn into the lungs. And men wear a 'parky' or headaddress which extends over the face and affords similar protection.

That is certain as the sun. But he may work grudgingly, or he may work gratefully, or he may work as a machine. He cannot always choose his work, but he can do it in a generous temper and with an up-looking heart. There is no work so rude that he may not exalt it; there is no work so impassive that he may not breathe a soul into it; there is no work so dull that he may not enliven it—Henry Giles. Practical Hints to Be Looked To. A journalist talked recently with a struggling composer. He inquired whether the words of the great masters did not inspire the musician. The musician granted that they did, but that they do not inspire confidence in landlords when the rent was due, an occasion for which it was well to be prepared even if you had to play cheap melodies to do it.

Once again in the history of the American people in assassin has interefered, with the political life, of this country. As in the former case of this kind the fiefd is a foreigner, born in a foreign land, and brought to this country in his early youth. If one is to be guided by the sentiment expressed in the public press, one can easily conclude the significance of the accident, to Colonel Roosevelt. As soon as the news spread to the ears of the American people messages of regret began to pour into the sick room of the wounded leader. From Democrat Republican, from President and would-be Presidents, from potentates and men of high official rank in foreign lands; from the rich and poor alike, citizens all without respect to politics or religion, sought to make their sympathy known at the earliest possible moment. And in the messages we find the real significance of the incident. On the same day of the crime Theodore Roosevelt was being denounced as a menace to his country, as a man seeking personal favor, as a hypocrite, as a man dangerous to society and the country. And these denunciations were given all the force of which the makers were capable; and the country was asked to believe them. The public press was called into use for the purpose of moulding sentiment against Theodore Roosevelt, the country's menace. A shot is fired, and the Progressive leader is wounded. Note the change. These same men who would have the world denounce Roosevelt are among the first to wire their sympathy, to express their regret. The public press takes up the strain and lands this same Roosevelt, calls him the "most citizen of his country," and asks the people to believe it. Why the citizens of this city has haven't any defense? We don't hurt. This man is just as great as man gave he is. He is the foremost citizen of this country as the papers say he is. The incident exposes the political opponents of Mr. Roosevelt. The exposers will try as an education for the voters who now see that all that has now said about Roosevelt was not meant to be true; but said for political purposes. The veil has been lifted, and the middle works in of political issues exposed. From this document, it is obvious as a campaign weapon we find no place in the country. An important part GSO DEMOCRATS. best, should inform these that they represent a 'ost cause' for as this community is concerned. We have no hospitality for Wilson. missionaries, whatever else we may have. Then, too, we have analyzed the material. These Negroes who are loud in their praise of Mr. Wilson and his platform are 4xRepublicans grown wary of waiting at the Republican crib for a turn at the trough. Disgruntled because of their militar to free place. We remember when they were student grammars for the Republican cause; and we propose to show our appreciation of their former command in the use we make of LOCKING OUT THE GOSPEL. have an aftermath of the report A. M. E. countercharge comes the report that the order of the churches pursued to use the apointee sent the order of the bishop, and to impress their sincerity, back to the disposs. Since conduct as this is not entirely new in this city. We have had similar experiences here before, but however, many challenges have been faced. Heotoferre, there is nothing to group to justify such action. The church has a discipline to guide its officers and members in matters pertaining to the welfare of the church; and any failure to follow the discipline is a failure to live up to the laws and rules governing the church. And this is just where the violation becomes aggravated. To violate the church discipline is to violate the religious vow which requires an adherence to the laws governing the A.M. F. church. The Courier does not attempt to regulate the choice of pastors for any church, but this unchristian madness must be regarded as a menace to the church as a whole. It is skin to lawlessness, a crime from which no people of this country suffer quite as much as we. And all things be done in accordance with the law whether it be church or another institution involved. There is a right way and a wrong way to do any thing. Our duty demands that we use the right way; and our religion requires it. An how Schrank is not a Negro. We have never been guilty of assassination, whatever else we have done. And Schrank has not been lynched either. Local George H.

Stanton, Esq., and Edward Johnson of Pittsburgh, Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Vaughn of East Lay, Sol. and Mrs. Wm. Turner and Earl Jones of Wheeling. The time was divided, the few hours spent in the city with Mrs. C. C. Murray, where one of those delightful dinners as only Mrs. Murray can prepare at her home at 712 Adams street, was given, and the Stanton club rooms at 159 South Sixth street, where an impromptum symposium of music, songs, recitations and well delivered talks were indulged in by all the visitors. The president, Bart J. Gudden, presided, and when called on each visitor responded with a well chosen method of entertainment.

From Edil Foy, Foy's Uncle to the Wok for the work of October 21, the title of Edil Way, who has been a novelist to Werner and Larsen's galaxy on stars since season 10, is more an adornice without corvacing it with laughter. The insteem he appears on the stage a smile extends to the last row of the gallery, where he is great a favorite among the cheerful patrons. As an information and comfort this gratious emotion stands in a class by bliss. Surrounded by a tabulated garden, 65 shiny and lively, with a beautiful chorus of girls singing to the minute, he is supported in every leading city in the United States and Canada and has yet to find a theater not covered with the certain rises. His comings always arouses pleasant antipathy and all the more so this season when he appears in his latest Broadway success, "Over the River." Here is a musical comedy that made New York forget every other show in town during the six months that Edilie Foy packed the Gloose theater. The song hits were the whistling favorites on Broadway, while the "carpet" scene with its riotous and the dancing "Berlin Madcap," with their merrie praises became the talk of the town. It was during this engagement that the comedian became known as "Foy for Joy." This unique phrase tersely accurately described Edilie Foy in "Over the River." The Alvin. Eva Tanayu, admittedly the most popular comedienne now appearing on the American stage, comes to the Alpin theater for the week beginning Monday, October 21, as the star of Low Fides' latest and most spectacular musical entertainment, "The Sun Loughes." The latter is described as a logical successor to the long line of Fieldman shows which began with "The Midnight Sans" and which included "The Jolly Bachelors." "The Heinpecks" and "The Never Homes." Miss Languya's eccentric personality, unlagging energy and surpassing gayety will find an outlet in at least five new songs and she will wear at least that many startling costumes. George Monroe, that most screamily funny of all comedians, Belle Blanche, Harry Fisher, that most voiced comedian who plays such a splendid comedian to George Monroe, Nat Fields and Nan Brennan are others in the big cast. The Duguesne. That moving drama of domestic life and a mother's love, "The Greatest Thing in the World," which was especially written as a starring play for Miss Sarah Cowell Le Moyne and presented by her throughout an entire season, is to be next week's attraction offered by the Harry Davis stock players at the Duquesne theater. The piece is from the pens of Miss Harriett Ford and Miss Beatrice De Mille, Liebler & Company made the original production, in which Robert Tdeson created the role of Cecil Bryant, the eriling son, to the Virginia Bryant, the noble sailed mother, portrayed by Mrs. Le Moyne. The role of Virginia Bryant is a highly emotional and deeply sympathetic one, and will offer some needful phases of character portrayal to Mary Hul, who will cause the part of this self-sacrificing motion in next week's resilial of the play at the Duquesne. The Lyceum. "The Grain of Dust," in white James N. Huckleberry appeared last season in the $2 houses, is now being presented at popular prices and will be seen next week at the Lyceen theater with Vanishan Glaser in his stellar role. The play, which is dramatization by Louis Evan Shi, man of David Gradain Phillips' novel enjoyed an extended run at the Crerion theater, New Work, and in Chicago. It retains its aborbing interest of the story and presents scenes and people we know them with striking clarity. As a critical study the central theme is unmissed Strong, and in it N. Gradain who is a actor in the production achievement has a per person adaptation to inimitable style. He is supported by a co-writer and the piece is a popular work. The Grand Pittsburghers will welcome the visit to the On the new work of Kate Wilson, the late, and truly rural artist from the white white monochrome on the city and the manifold of her visit to Miss Watson, and the ratior in that performance is the title of an contemporary on the vaudeville stage. Women monotone artists particularly rare by Miss Watson allure. Having it is certified by the reporting school of the White woman giving a drama in her short career, she casts the role of a white woman in a white natural environment, as a dual thinner skin on a woman and a deal thinner skin on a woman in her natural environment. A most valuable surgical case is the almost complete recovery of Mrs. Mary Marlane of Orange, N. J., whose back was broken more than two months ago in a fall down a flight of stairra. The unusual operation was performed of reinforcing the fractured vertebrae with fine wire. DENTIST IS NOW LOCATED AT 6258 FRANKSTOWN AVE., E.E. H. G.

Ever since the completion of the new $500 church building, which is constructed by the Bethel A. M. E. congregation five years ago at the Wylie avenue and Elm street, the choir has been compelled to go along as best it could with a small foot-power organ. A few months ago, a number of pubs inspired members of the race both in and out of the church formed themselves into an organ committee. It was composed of William S. Anderson, the harpist, as chairman; Dr. W. E. Franklin, the conductor; Edward H. Johnson, Attorney; W. H. Stanton, Rev. P. A. Scott and Albert Banks. They succeeded in purchasing a first class, two manual pipe organ, that had been in use only a few years, that originally cost $300 for the medium price of $755. The work of dismantling it and reinstalling it in the Bethel A. M. E. church will begin this week and it is expected that it will be ready for dedication in about two weeks. The committee has thus raised by popular subscription and entertainments, over $300 of the purchase money, and have personally assumed the balance of the liability so that it would not be a charge on the church trustees. The new organ is run by an electric motor. It will fill a long-felt want and very, materially add to the finish and artistic appearance of the Bethel auditorium.

If you are in the habit of taking a pitcher of iced water to your room on retiring, try this: Procure a square pateboard box (with lid), sufficiently large to hold your pitcher, and give it two or three coats of varnish on the outside, allowing each coat to dry thoroughly. Place your pitcher of water in this box on retiring, putting the lid on tightly, and you are sure of having cold drinking water any hour of the night. Smallest Book In the World The smallest book in the world is in the library of congress, always under look and key. It is a copy of the Itaibaiyat of Omar Khayyam. The tiny volume was made by Nathan Dale of Cleveland, O. It was photographed, each page separately. Four books of the same size would just cover a postage stamp. Three hundred of them would weigh a pound. Telling the Age of a Horse. The age of a horse may be judged by the appearance of the teeth because on the upper, surface of the incisors a hollow is to be seen in the young tooth, which, not extending through the whole substance, naturally wears out with the wear of the tooth, and as a considerable degree of regularity occurs in the wearing away in all horses. It has been adopted as a general criterion of age. Scrub Chickens The skin of poultry is frequently very dirty when brought from market, and fowls should not only be washed, but scrubbed with a soft brush and warm water, in which a teaspoonful of baking soda has been dissolved. Such treatment will prevent the disagreeable "henny" taste often noticeable in cooled poultry. Safer Way. "Why do you let that policeman grabble your peanuts?" "I don't want to be murdered." answered the New York reader, with a grim. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS THE PITTSBURGH COURIER A bill is in the hands of Congressman J. J. Fitzgerald of Brooklyn calling for the appropriation of $250,000 for an exposition to celebrate- the emancipation of the colored race in America on the approaching fifth anniversary of the writing of Lincoln's emancipation proclamation. It is urged by those supporting the bill that such an exposition would show the progress of the colored race in the United States in the half century just past. They hold that it would encourage the colored people themselves to greater efficiency and inspire them to greater effort. The progress pointed out is along many lines. In 1880 the colored population of this country was 4,000,000. In 1910, with practically no increase through immigration, the population is 10,000,000. In 1860 they were practically all slaves and all illiterate. In 1910 their illiteracy was reported to be 20.5 per cent, smaller than the white population of Spain, Russia, Portugal, Romania, Hungary and many other European countries. Moreover in Pennsylvania, where the illiteracy of the foreign population has increased from 15 to 19 per cent in twenty years, that of the colored population decreased from 29 to 15 per cent. Practically no negroes were practiced in the professions fifty years ago, it is pointed out. Today there are more than 75,000 working as physicians and surgeons, clergymen, teachers, surgeons in colleges, lawyers, journalists, artists. The colored population, practically penniless fifty years ago, has gained in worldly goods, until today they own more than 400,000 homes and farms valued at more than a billion dollars. Fifty years ago they were chiefly farm laborers; today there are as many farm laborers as there were then, and in addition there are 225,000 negroes who own their farms, and over 1,000,000 farms operated by colored farmers. There are today colored graduates representing all the leading universities of the country. The race has produced also 6,000 authors whose books are copyrighted and registered in the Library of Congress, and more than 1,000 patents for inventions. Negro banks have been organized all over the south, the census of 1900 reporting more than 200 colored bankers, brokers, and officials in banks. There are many large manufacturing plants, such as cotton mills, turpentine stills, hosiery mills, printing establishments, conducted by negroes and nearly 300 newspapers. One of the chief promoters of the proposed negro exposition is Maj. R. R. Wright of Savannah, Ga. An instrument for measuring the nocturnal terrestrial radiation of heat has been invented by a Danish scientist. The negroes of the British West Indies are unalterably opposed to the plan which suggests the federation of their country with Canada, which would mean the end of British rule over the island, and there is not much likelihood that the proposed federation will be effected for many years to come. Although there are 1,640,000 negroes in the West Indies and British Guiana to 125,000 whites, yet it is found that color prejudice is increasing instead of diminishing, according to Sir Harry Johnston. Fashion is the greatest of tyrants. Anyway, there was never a tyrant which put so many Christians to the torture. Through some peculiarities the negro race exercises apparent indifference as to the magnitude of things about him, and unlike other races fails to take advantage of accorded privileges and establish for his people such conveniences as are helpful and instructive. Hence, if entrance to the abode of amusements is refused, or adequate accommodations are denied, he should be grateful if necessity compels him to rely upon his own expeditients and reap the rewards which diligence secures. Atlantic City is deserted and the crowds that lined the boardwalk and thronged the beach go back to their dally avocations and work doubly hard to make up for the dollars they spent in order to have it said: "I saw Mr. or Miss or Mrs. So-and-So on the boardwalk at Atlantic." These things come high, but we must have them, and not to go to Atlantic City is an almost unpardonable sin. We must be seen on the boardwalk. Sure:—Baltimore Afro-American Ledger. Many a man would be willing to give up his wife for his country. After hearing a song to the effect that every race has a flag but the colored man. Rev. J. Lennox of this city, a bishop of the Zion African Evangelical church, designed an official emblem which he said his church has decided to adopt. The flag has twelve stars in a field of purple and twelve bars 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, the purity of the apostles, and the blue, the negroes' loyalty to the United States. When arrested in Berlin recently a beggar was found to possess $16,000, which he admitted had been gained by begging. One wrap has done duty for many a chilly malden down by the foggy breakers. Cold storage hearts last longer than nine months—the government decision on such. Nobody loves father unless he can also a big check for a treasury. Don't be deceived by the argument that whisky is your worst enemy. Ignorance is the name of the gentleman who is causing all the trouble. Prohibitionists exhibit a zeal in thus laboring the colored brother which is worthy of a better cause. Already the colored man is being too much prohibited and he should take that view of the case. Of course the improper use of strong drink is unquestionably an evil; but it is one of those evils which law makers cannot remedy. The people must get the training at home. The lack of home training has not only diluted the land with drunkards, but with murderers, thieves and criminals of lesser caliber as well, and sending them to the penitentiary and the scaffold does not seem to much deter their companions, who daily follow in their footsteps. Less legislation and more of the "rod which spoileth not the child," is the crying need of the country—Exchange. If you've done something wrong don't waste time repenting; do something useful. There are some big, open-hearted people living in this age that really seem to think that the negro needs and deserves a flag of his own. It's too bad that white men of this happy, generous spirit will have to go down to their graves with this burden on their minds. Believe this, these men or any set of men who think that the negro needs a flag of his own are men whose craniums, if examined, would conshultively that they needed brain much more than we need a flag. The Stars and Stripes are as much to the negro and ever will be as it is to any Anglo-Saxon who ever trod American soil. The negro has stood with his broad breast with a courageous heart in the forefront of many bloody frays in honor and defense of the nation's pride. The old flag, why should we not call it ours?—Zaneville Advocate. Philosophy is something you hoist on the other fellow when he's not looking. Like most instruments, a razor is useful in its place and dangerous out of its place. For instance, it is useful to shave with but dangerous to carve with. Of late, over in Philadelphia, there have been several distressing cases of carving with the razor among negroes which required the attention of the police and the undertaker; but the saddest case was that of the two youngsters, brothers, six and eight years old, who went into the garret of their home, armed with the parental razor, and cut and slashed each other nearly to-death, to see how it was done, before they were caught in the act. Did they inherit the razor-carving habit? It looks that way. Jealousy is a painful exhibition, but it gets very little sympathy. The sooner the negro can be taught that it is impossible for him to escape punishment for his wrongs, the sooner he will so live that the impression prevailing in the minds of most white folks, that all negroes will steal, may be thoroughly dispelled. Of course, the better class of white people know there are honest negroes as well as honest white folks, and there are dishonest white folks and dishonest negroes, but they know how to separate the wheat from the chaff—Newport News-Star. A wind storm, possibly of a jealous disposition, visited Braymer. Mo., a few days ago and wrecked the homes of two well known auctioneers. We sincerely hope that our business men will throw aside petty jealousies, cast off some of their narrowness, and lay aside personal pride; join-in with all movements that will benefit the people, lend their presence to those meetings that will uplift them and push our young men to the front in every way possible, where they prove themselves worthy and we believe the time is not far distant before we will have numbers of buildings like the New Alabama Penny Savings bank. Echols & Strong and Dr. Gordon's all over the city. We earnestly hope that our business men will be more cosmopolitan in their way of doing business. —Birmingham Wide-Awake. No matter what sort of man a woman's husband is, she's blamed for his faults always. Man's wisdom often consists in knowing just how long to stay away from home. The settlement of the negro question lies in the colored men and women living their lives as negroes, being patriotic, working hard at useful occupations that they are fitted for, always being unassuming and honest, respecting themselves, and trying to bring their children up to be useful Christian men and women. Some men are very convenient adjuncts once tamed to dish washing. Housekeeping for two sometimes gets to be just solitude. When a man gives a girl presents he expects to get them back. The only question is whether he will get the girl with them. The ties that are loosely held are lightly lost. Matrimony is sometimes a social balm to the eager girl of a certain age. Even nages have given us the problem of woman; but woman, herself, never. CHURCH NOTICES CHURCH NOTICES Corner Wylie aveupne and Em street Sunday services 10:30 A. M. and 7:45 P. M.
