THE TRUE MEANING OF A HIGHER EDUCATION CIRCULATION BOOKS ARE OPEN TO ADVERTISERS VOL. III. NO. 46. Necessity For Capable and Intellectual Leaders Shown by Results Attained By GEORGE E. HAYNES. Ph.D. In the preface of this article on the function of higher education a clear definition of "higher education" is necessary, because the confusion of many discussions comes through a double meaning of the term. It is its best sense education means the development of the powers of the individual which will enable him to meet the duties and opportunities of work, leisure and friendship. Now, in coupling the word "higher" with the word "education" one of two meanings must be implied, either that there are certain systems of development which are "higher" than others, that are lower, or that the character of the education received is higher than the other. The confusion usually arises in forgetting that the criterion of education is the relation of the result of education to the capacity for reception and power for use of those receiving it. If, then, we take our point of departure from those who are educated we shall very probably come to the sound conclusion that education is "higher education," so called, both in system and character, which develops or tends to develop to the full extent of his capacity to receive and power for use of the one educated. Results and Systems of Education. The results should be farreaching. Any system of education, whether called higher or lower, that does not so develop is not education. We should measure any system by this criterion of results. Whether the education is given with tools, in shops, in laboratories or in library and literary halls, if it does not the powers of the student so that be any meet the duties and opportunities of life better prepared it is not education at all, higher or lower. The capacity for the many for development is far below the capacity of the few. The opportunities of life for the capacity of the many can best be met by a system of education which will prepare them for the most intelligent labor, for the masses of mankind must be lifted higher than they are. And for this purpose the capacity of the few must be developed and brought to the service of the many. Progress must keep up full speed, and head and heart are the double cylinders that must furnish the power. In a word, intelligence and emotion move the world. And the function of higher education is to develop the intelligence and give control of the emotions. Two Principal Classes of Students. Let us apply this to our college and university systems. By general agreement, students may be divided into men and women of thought and men and women of action, accordingly as the dominant capacity of their minds is intellectual or emotional, or in more academic language, as they belong to the visual type or motor type of mind. The duties, opportunities and privileges of life which will confront these persons are those of leadership in thought and action. The thought leaders become the scientists, the great physicians, jurists, inventors, the writers, the men and women who think the great Creator's thoughts after him. The leaders of emotion are the statesmen, the preachers, the prophets, the artists, the idealists in many fields, the men and women who dream the dreams and see the visions no mortal ever dared to dream or see before. This class furnishes the militant leaders who sally forth like Joan of Arc and Saul of Tarsus to execute the call of their captain. The University as a Place of Nurture. Our colleges and universities, our institutions for "higher education," must be pieces of nurture for such men and women. If they are not such places, they betray their trust and their plants had best be turned to the use of so called common schools and industrial schools and their faculties sent to other occupations than that of the exalted station of the teachers and inspirers of our talented youths. While I am an optimist, cander leads me to say that our American colleges have stained grievously in this unutter. In the case of the Neuro college, four factors have emphasized these influences—viz. first, the belief that the only Negroes who could profit by liberal education were a few freaks; second, the presumption that the Negro people can advance without such leaders of action and thought; third, the conceived idea that such systems of Development were not designed for black men. The fourth and last is the deliberate and selfish conclusion that such instruments of upift should be kept out of our hands lest we rise from the depths of segregation and slavery. These and other motions have been the crosses upon which many of the endowments of Negro colleges have been eroded. Everybody's Doing It. Doing What? Why reading The Courier.

COLEMAN INDUSTRIAL HOME TO HAVE TAG DAY COLEMAN INDUSTRIAL HOME TO HAVE TAG DAY The Coleman Industrial Home for Colored Boys will hold tag day next Saturday. Four years ago Godfrey Terry, then aged only 11, lost his parents. Four months the boy slept in alarms and rear vials. The boy was arrested as a vagabond and the jungle court declared to send him to Morgana. That's how in Coleman Home was founded. It was no fault of Terry's that he did not have a home, so the Juvenile Court found him one. They wanted S. A. Coleman, a decorator, and T. Mrs. Coleman, a hair dresser, who took the boy. Now he is in his school. Then came another father and mother year with children, and another, until there were under the case of the Coleman. The neighbors in the Place street made them move—they did not want their children to associate with them locked by the juvenile court. The Colombs moved to 236 NW avenue and there founded their home for homeless Negro boys. For three years She Samaritans, both working hard at their trades, kept up the institution. Several East Enp persons came to the aid of the couple and part of the burden was lifted. Last year, the state gave the hom $2,068, more than half of which had been used, and the rest will soon be poised.

Mr. Colomban, founder of the home, made very interesting discourse on the need, plants and purposes of the home. The band composed of the boys of the home, furnished the music for the occasion. Prol.

AN INDEPENDENT REPUBLICAN'S POLITICAL POSITION Hon. Richard T. Greener Makes Clear His Views as to the Political Parties Chicago.—The open announcement of the allegiance of the Ion, Richard T. Greener to the national Democratic ticket, which recently occasioned a sensational surprise here, ought not to have been unexpected. Mr. Greener was a constant attendant on the national Republican convention and also at the Progressive convention. When greeted by old Republican friends he remarked as to his attitude, "I am sitting on the fence at present watching the procession." When asked again, "is it Roosevelt or Taft?" he replied, with a smile, "Why, the fence I am on has Taft and Roosevelt on one side and Wilson and Marshall on the other." When asked for an interview Mr. Greener said: "I am not posing as I have been since 1577, when Hayes handed the Negro over to the tender mercies of his supposed enemies—the southern people—an independent Republican. "I advised the colored people of South Carolina then to accept General Wade Hampton, although I took part in the campaign and risked my life against him. Why did I do this? Because I could see them as clearly as I do now that the Democratic rule of the south was to last for a generation at least; that the temper of the Republican party was to let the Negro shift for himself." "But you continued to vote and advocate the Republican national ticket in various campaigns from 1880 until 1892." "Yes, I did, and I was pretty roundly abused as a knuckle close Republican on that account. "I do not claim any special merit now in my advocacy of Democratic candidates. I am well aware as many RON. RICHARD T. GREENER. are not that intelligent Negroes, some of the ablest men we have had from 1872 until the present time, consistently and streumously fought for the Democratic party, in some cases being rewarded with offices and in most cases being most fairly dealt with than many of the colored Republicans have been by their white Republican leaders. I could mention distinguished colored men who were in the Greylock movement of 1872 in the Mauwum movement in 1858 in 1859 with Cleveland in 1852. They helped to educate the Democrats. "I look on the promises and plaintings of Republican platforms from 1858 to the present time and see that, so far as the colored people are concerned, the Negro plants are more sounding generalities." So far as the Republican party is concerned, it is no more the same party today that it was in 1876 than the Democratic party is (Continued on Page Eight) THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES THEUDORE ROOSEVELT.

He also presented him with a check representing a dollar for every year of his services as president of the convention. Mrs. Anna Skerritt, representing the Abysinian Baptist Sunday school, New York, presented Mr. Dodson with a large bouquet of twenty white carnations and $5 in gold.

BENTLEY REPLIES TO DEFAME Mr. Eulrich — Now that the university Brown chapel has subsided and I have had a few moments for quiet reflection, the question arose in my mind as to what will be the conclusion of private equipment if I remain silent. The hope of the church in question all his care and his diligence of his practice the public press. And this connection I wish to thank the Eulrich of the Center for his commercial on the subject which commonly shall all right thinking people and now may not have a work in life. I have assured my operator concerned in the Pittsburgh A.M. E. conference during which I have served all the largest obureuses except desired church at Williamspur.

MADDEN DEFENDS RIGHTS OF THE COLORED SOLDIER Strike Down the Color Line Says Illinois Congressman in a Forcible Speech The attempt of Congressman Roddenbery, Democrat, from Georgia, to have the government create jimcrow soldiers' homes throughout the country for Afro-American veterans in an impassioned speech in congress last May was replied to in a masterly way by Congressman Martin B. Madden, Republican, from Illinois. The house had under consideration at the time the conference report of the Sherwood pension bill (H. R. 24.016), granting pensions and increase of pensions to certain soldiers and sailors of the civil war and certain widows, and dependent children of soldiers and sailors of the said war. Mr. Roddenberry offered an amendment which provided that no pensions should be allowed inmates of national soldier-homes unless whites and blacks are cared for in separate domiciles and grounds. Congressman Madden in his speech against the Roddenberry amendment said: I am astounded that any man on this side of the country such an amendment as this bill seeking to pay pensions to soldiers who served their country. I cannot believe without saying a word in opposition to such an amendment. It ought to be the case that we should I hope with all my heart that every vote in the house will be cast against it. No man fought more bravely than the black men. They are entitled to their full share in the war and be one of the blanks who say their liberties were at stake? Yes, and the liberty of every other person in the land. Thank God the close of the war brought liberty alike to the north and to south of the city, and that today we live in a land where slavery is no more, where every citizen is a sovereign. I grieve to see the gentleman from Georgia express such bitterness toward the Negro in his defending defenders. He should be advocating measures to help the Negro to help himself. The Afro-American has made wonderful progress, considering his lack of opportunity. He is a good citizen. He has been empowered not reviled. Who led the successful charge at El Caney at San Junn Hill? Was it not the colored man? Who questioned his color then? Did any man have color? Did any man have his valor; all applauded his infidelity. He is brave; he is fearless; he is easily led; he makes a good soldier; he is entitled to be honored no less than his white brother. The color man will should receive the same tender care in his declining years that we are proud to accord to the white men who rendered equal service to the nation. We should know no color in ministering to the wants of the country; gave their all in defending the country. Gentlemen, strike down the color line. Defeat the amendment offered by the gentleman from Georgia and let the news spread into every home; the press will tolerate no discrimination in the treatment of the country's veteran soldiers on account of the color of their skin. Churchman, Bishop C. T. Schaffer, who is the only minute of his life worthy of the title he bears and the position he occupies, and no one better than he that the man who makes this defence never asked for anything against a man's change. But back to the chapel lock-out, I wish the heartless, Carlessius, act be painted in letters of fire, to anger the conscience of all who engaged in it until the devil of self-encouragement and self-righteousness, and access irrevocable may be consumed. And now in conclusion, my life and many years of service is an open book to the people here and to seewhere, success is stopped on every page. I have never asked for appointment to this church in Pittsburgh, equally trust my labors have been blessed with album success, and handwritten with an gathered hard the book. I have pasted, and this one is a stamp of divine approval for which I am devoted thankful to him for assures me sunshine for each day's success for each passing year and at the end assures me unimurable past in the mansion above. (Signed) D. S. BENNIZZ THE ORDER OF MOSES HOLDS ENCAMPMENT PUBLIC APPROVAL FOR LIBERAL CULTURE CLUB The Liberal Culture club of Chicago recently entuged upon its third year of usefulness. The club is composed of professional men and women, mainly graduates of high schools and universities. The meetings of the organization are held once a week on Friday night from October to July. The motto of the club is humanity, not sex, not creed, not race. The club has for its object the mutual benefit of its members along intellectual lines and discusses questions of public interest—scientific, literary, theological, racial and social. The members have been favored with the most hearty co-operation of the leading ministers, laymen and other persons of note who take pleasure in giving the club the benefit of their opinion upon questions of public moment. This group of intelligent men and women, though small in number, is truly representative of a larger and increasing class of progressive persons among the colored people of Chicago. Organizations of this kind should be more widely known and also larger in number for the inspiration and help of the great throng of educated young men and women, many of whom have no definite social or literary intercourse with one another outside of business or church relations. The club cheerfully invites the cooperation of those who are interested in the work. Nonmembers may take part in the meetings as speakers on special topics, lectures and in other helpful ways. Communications may be sent to any of the officers at 3226 Primal avenue. The officers are Professor Richard T. Greener, president; E.D. Brown, M.D., vice president; Dr. C.H. Knight, treasurer, and H. Evalyn Moely, secretary. METHODIST MINISTERS' CONFERENCE THIS WEEK The Methodist Ministers conference met in Wylie Avenue church last Monday morning at 10:30 o'clock, and a most interesting session was held. A large number of the pastors of the city and vicinity were present and matters pertaining to the educational and religious welfare of our people were freely and profitably discussed. Steps were taken leading up to an organized effort to secure positions for some of our educated young people as teachers in the public schools of Pittsburgh: It is hoped that all pastors of every denomination will unite in this effort. The New President of the Pittsburgh Methodist Ministers' Conference, and 'Paor of Wylie Avenue A. M. E. Church. A feature of the meeting was the resignation of Dr. D. S. Beatley as the president of the Ministerial Conference. This was due to the fact that Dr. Beatley has recently been assigned to the pastorate of Bethle church in Williamsport, Pa. and is too far away to attend the meetings. Rev. P. A. Scott, pastor of Wylie Abbott church, who served as the counsor for the past twelve months, was elected to succeed Dr. Bentley as president and Rev. L. M. Upperman of Abbey A. M. E. Zion church, was chosen to the office of secretary. Dr. L. H. Howard, pastor of Central Park church, was a distinguished visitor at the meeting last Monday, meeting next Monday morning. Dr. Scott will read a paper on "Inclusion." All ministers are the appointment of Mrs. Laura A. Hamilton to the position of postmaster at Fort Ethan Allen, VT, in July was made solely upon her merit. Two white men were her competitors. Mrs. Hamilton passed a creditable civil service examination and is the only Afro-American ever appointed to a similar position in the state. She is a woman of excellent business tact. THE PAPER THAT REACHES THE HOME FIVE CENTS A COPY OF MOSES NCAMPMENT Organization Founded Forty-five Years Age by Peter Paul Brown New Immense MANY DELEGATES PRESENT The forty-fifth annual session of the right worthy grand encampment of the Ancient United Order of Sons and Daughters, Brothers and Sisters of Moses, recently held at Teutonic hall in Brooklyn, was a notable event in secret society circles. The encampment was in session four days and was attended by members of the order from nearly every part of the country. The sessions were presided over with becoming dignity by Grand Master Solomon A. Bond of Baltimore. Secretary Joseph P. Smith of Troy, N. Y., in announcing the enrollment at the first session stated that there were 800 delegates present representing fifteen states. The address extending the welcome of the delegates to the city was delivered by his honor Alfred E. Steers, president of the borough of Brooklyn. Mr. Steers assured the members of the encampment that he was mindful of the progress which the colored people have made in education, business, in the ownership of homes and churches. He impressed upon all present the necessity of co-operation, one with the other, along all lines in order to make even greater advancement in the future. The address of Mr. Steers was responded to by Joseph E. Matthews, chairman of the local committee, arrangements. Mr. Matthews response was timely and aroused much enthusiasm among the delegates and visitors as he told of the many difficulties which the rate had overcome in making its way to citizenship and respectability. His reference to the founding of the order by Peter Paul Brown in Morristown, N. J., forty-five years ago brought the entire audience to its feet. The exercises of the juvenile department were conducted by Mrs Judith E. Briggs, past grand vice matron. The program was rich in thought, well executed and showed that the little ones had been carefully instructed. The report of the secretary was highly encouraging and showed an increase in numbers and finance. The organization has upward of 25,000 members, and the combined bank account of the order is placed at $200,000. The order maintains headquarters in a $12,000 building on North Eutaw street, Baltimore. The election of officers for the ensuing year resulted as follows: Solomon A.

KINS, Manager of Information THE COURIER NEW FIXTURES VICE PRESIDENT JAMES S. SHERMAN IS DEAD Death Due to Bright's Disease and an Affection of the Heart---The Family at His Bedside as the Statesman Passes Away. JAMES S. SHERMAN Utica, N. Y.—Vice President James H. Sherman 'breathed his last at 9:24 p.m. Wednesday night. Medical skill and careful attention of those who held him in such deep affection failed to stay the progress of the disease which had gradually sapped his life away, and the end came after a day in which the distinguished patient had been unconscious and deirious. A vigorous constitution had alone kept death lingering at the threshold. The Vice President, who lapsed into a state of coma Wednesday afternoon, never rallied, and passed from unconsciousness to death. The Vice President was able to say a few words to his wife and Dr. Peck during his lucid moments, but never spoke thereafter. Mrs. Sherman is in a state of collapse as a result of her husband's end. All the members of the immediate family were witnesses to the final scene. In addition to Mrs. Sherman, there were in the death chamber their three sons, Sherrill, Richard U. and Thomas M. Sherman, and their respective wives, R. M. and Sanford Sherman, brothers of Mr. Sherman, and Mrs. L. B. Moore and Mrs. H. J. Cookingham, sisters of Mr. Sherman. The first discovery that Mr. Sherman's kidneys were affected was made at the beginning of the national cam- JAMES S palign in 1905. At that time he was suffering from gall stones and his physician informed him that one of the kidneys had become diseased, and advised moderation in work and diet. The advice was followed in the latter, but not in the former respect. Mr. Sherman became most absurd in eating, taking nothing but the simplest foods; but he persisted in giving the closest personal attention to his official duties as well as to his extensive business interests. So completely did he keep himself occupies that Dr. Peck found in this fase the principal reason for the Vice-President's breakdown. Visiting all sections of the county and making many speeches defies the failed in no effort with a loyal party san and a vigorous man could make in that campaign, and when ultimately his labors were crowned with success and he was elevated to the Vice Presidency, he vigorously turned his attention to the duties of that office. Never content to be a figurehead, he undertook to lift the Vice Presidency into a position of usefulness and influence. As a result, he became one of the recognized advisers of the administration, and he exerted an unusual influence among the members of the Senate. He gave much time and attention to parliamentary questions, and he kept the politics of the country at his fingers' ends. In addition, the numerous industrial and financial interests with which he was connected continued to receive the closest car- LOSING HIS NERVE Convicted Officer Now Despaira of Escaping the Electric Chair.

Hart, lies in a dangerous condition in the City hospital as the result of being hit by a bullet from a. Flobert rifle in the hands of Rodney Jones, colored, while the lads were playing in Butler alley. Young Jones, frightened by what he had done, ran for assistance, sobbing out: "I didn't know it was loaded." Jones and his stepfather, Frank Wilson, were placed in jail. Young Hart is expected to die. Joe Tinker accepts terms to manage Cincinnati baseball club. James Schoolcraft Sherman was born at Utica, N. Y., October 24, 1855, and was the son of General Richard U. and Mary Frances Sherman. He was educated in the public schools of New Hartford, N. Y., Utica Academy, and graduated from the Whitetown Seminary in 1874. He received the degree of bachelor of arts from Hamilton College in 1878, bachelor of laws in 1880 and, doctor of laws in 1903. On January 26, 1881, Mr. Sherman was married to Carrie Babcock of East Orange, N. J. He was admitted to the bar in 1880, and has since practiced in his native city. As a man of affairs Mr. Sherman was president of the Utica Trust and Deposit Company. Since his youth he had been identified with the Republican party and had been highly honored by that party. He was Mayor of Utica in 1884 and member of the Fiftieth and Fifty-first Congresses (1887-1891), and the Fifty-third to Sixtieth Congresses (1893-1901). Mr. Sherman was chairman of the New York Republican State conventions in 1895, 1900 and 1908, chairman of the Republican National Congressional Committee in 1906; elected Vice President of the United States, and renominated for the same office at the Chicago Repub SHERMAN Jean National Convention in June of this year. New York—President Taft was informed of the death of Vice President Sherman as the Chief Executive and his Secretary of the Navy were seated in the Thirteenth Regiment Academy, Brooklyn, as guests of honor at a dinner to them by employees of the Brooklyn Navy Navy in celebration of the successful launching of the battleship New York. New York—The Senate as a whole will be appointed as a committee to attend the funeral of Vice President Sherman, according to announcement made by Senator Bacon president problem of that body. Senator Bacon said that as soon as the date of the funeral was announced the sergeant-at-arms of the Senate would be notified by him to telegraph individually to the members of the Senate urging them to be present at the funeral. Immediately upon hearing of Mr Sherman's death Senator Bacon telegrammed to the sergeant-at-arms to take charge of and direct the funeral arrangements subject to the wishes of the family. The expenses of the funeral will be borne by the Senate.

By this means—and on the real merit of "PORO" products—she has established a lucrative trade in all of the states in Canada and in Mexico. Thus "PORO" is achieving a wonderful success by giving the people a complete scientific sanitary method for scalp and hair treatment. Her method of treatment is having the desired effect in helping to prevent the spread of disease, for it is a fact that hair in an unanitary condition carries germs of deadly diseases which often prove fatal to innocent persons coming in contact with them.

Now that we have heard about all that can be said concerning the three presidential candidates, the question naturally comes: Who shall be the Negro's choice. To be properly governed in a matter of such importance, we must summon every possible aid lest we make a choice detrimental to our welfare and progress. Three men, with the principles they represent, have been held up before us for quite a few weeks now, and the men themselves have explained their-respective platforms and made their respective declarations as to what they propose to do for all men, once they reach the White House. If our experience in politics only dated from the division of the Republican party, we might have little or no difficulty in concluding what our position should be on November 5. But we have had polit- although not the same parties-for more than forty years. We know the men fairly well, if we are not fully acquainted with the party platforms they now adovocate. We think it matters little as to what dress these men may wear; we know them for what they are, and for the principles they advocate. If our experience with all these men is not sufficient to guide us now, then experience is worth nothing. We are aware that many Negroes have paid little or no attention to the present issues, satisfying them- thereof; there are still others who know the issues, but who think the situation of little importance to acquaint their less favored brother with the significance attached to the present fight. As a whole then, we are left to decide individually or ourselves whom we will support. The Courier does not attempt to instruct its readers for whom to vote on November 5, we allow our readers to seghar the record of each man now before the people, determine finally what are the merits and demerits attached to each man, and under the guidance of the light thus afforded vote an honest conviction. RICHARD B. HARRISON. It is painful to relate, but the shameful truth stands out as a rebuke to the Intelligence of Pittsburgh that such a man as Mr. Richard B. Harrison should be allowed to appear in a city of this size before an audience comprising the provercial "handful." Whether the failure of our people to attend Bethel A. M. E. church last Wednesday evening when our capable representative appeared, is due to a lack of appreciation for something classic and morally elevating or to the sensitivity on the part of the committee in charge of the occasion, we are unable to determine. But the important shame stands out undisplaced and seriously hope Mr. Harrison will not expose to other communities where such artists as himself are appointed and encouraged by the moral and financial support of the race. The Courier suggests that an attorney must be made under different arrangements, with sufficient advertise more to improve the coming of Mr. Harrison upon the responsive audiences of our city. *The Negro is growing more and more independent with the passing ages.

Those who entered the R. B. Harrison portal sent under the auspices of the Bethal A. M. E.

No. First Week-End Guest—"Would you ask our hostess to lend us the motor?" Second Week-End Guest—"Good heavens, no. I'd as soon think of asking her for a piece of string!"—life THE MUSICIAN --- There is no gainsaying the favor with which the new feather ruffs and neck pieces (with or without muffs to match) have been welcomed. The short bea of ostrich, tied with ribbon, is worn to match the plumes on velvet covered hats. It is very smart. Stole's of down trimmed with ostrich and made with muffs to match, are more generally useful, for they are made in the natural taupe gray, gray and white or in black, with a liberal sprinkling of black and white mixtures and combinations to choose from. These look well with any costume. Where only a ruff is worn matching the plumes or in natural colors for general wear, velvet or plush nuffs in similar colorings are worn. Some of these are long barrel-shaped affairs, but very soft. Chiffon or crepe is used with the velvet and a charming finishing touch is provided in close bunches of ribbon or silk flowers. These are scented and the whole design is elegant and daunting. SETS OFF THE DINING TABLE Iridescent Glass Candlestick Is Recommended as Most Highly Desirable Ornament. If tired of the ordinary silver or glass candlestick for the table, try those of iridescent glass. They come in many tones of opalescence and a variety of graceful shapes. Sometimes just the candlestick is of the glass with a shade of paper or lace, but far the handsomest ones have the candlestick, the patent holder for the candle, and the bell-like shade of the iridescent glass. Occasionally the shade is a paler tone than the holder. Candlesticks of white Dresden are attractive to use with the low white Dresden or Bellevue or Italian majolica flower vases in sections. A white candle, unshaded, is in, keeping with these holders. For a shade use one entirely white or white decorated with green ferns. The colonial candlestick of glass should be severe in line, especially if it be of pressed glass. It will be given distinction by using a white candle—the patent white glazed holders are best—with a lingerie shade, embroidered in an open design in eyelet and finished with a pictot edge. As a change, use with the colonial candlestick a colored candle, with a shade of the same shade of silk covered with filet lace. The four-sided square shade can be easily made by joining the squares of initiation flet with a narrow insertion. If you have Canton china, use candlesticks of the same ware and shades of water colored paper, with design to match those on the china. For a Dutch supper, are to be found quint candlesticks in delft blue with which are used paper shades painted with the familiar peasant and windmill scenes of Holland in tones of blue on white. Done on Machine. Wishing to make some dainty handskerchiefs and to give them the effect of drawn-through work with a colored thread run in, says a contributor to Needlecraft. I proceeded to thread my sewing machine with thread of the color I desired to use, creased or marked with a pencil the lines I wished to follow and stitched them, using a stitch of medium length. I did not draw threads as one does if the work is done by hand, and the effect is prettier, the work is stronger, does not draw when washed as that does by hand frequently does and requires little time. My friends who have seen the handkerchiefs tell me they intend adopting the method in future. Attractive Bows. A onesided bow is very attractive and it is well suited to the diagonal drapery and fastenings of the new models. Somewhat more pretentious is the "prelate" sash, which consists of single turning over of flat ends, embroidered at the bottom in semi-circular motifs and weighed with fringe. Gay phild ribbons hung from the belt at the left side of the front are used to enliven black frocks which need some touch of newness or color. Few New Points. Little taffeta coats are in many cases the chief attraction of the new autumn gowns. Fringe still continue to be very much used as a trimming and a great quantity is being put on to the new mantle. Oily and white-striped flannel suits will be very much worn this autumn, as well as the ubiquitous white serge. A man isn't thought to be getting well till he is getting well off. THE PITTSBURGH COURIER IN FAVOR In passing it may be noticed that these muffs are not difficult to make at home. There is a variety in shape and in finishes, but all are made on the down beds which may be bought at the furriers or the dry goods store. Muffs are still large although not extremely so. The handsome muff of white marabout shown here is edged with natural ostrich to match the stoll and is of the correct size. Aside from their comfort a muff is one of the most graceful accessories of the toilet. Many handsome plushes are manfactered and are used in neck pieces and stoles for constant wear. Narrow bands of fur-side plaited satin and small ball trimmings are used to decorate them. Occasionally cheillefringe is employed. A half yard of plush will make a stole and puff. In the material is very wide. The sets are inexpensive, very durable and preferable to cheap furs. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. 7 The first requisite of a winter motoring bonnet is warmth—and a snug fit so that the wind may not creep underneath and rip the ears. This pretty bonnet is made of striped black and white silk and blue velvet. Straps of white leather on the top are caught down under blue buttons and the strings are of blue and white silk. Kind Words. They do not cost much. It does not take up time to say them. They can accomplish much. They help one's own good nature. Kind words make other people good natured. They shame the hearer out of unkind feelings and make morose and sour spirits- become kind themselves. Cold words freeze people, hot words scorch them, sarcastic words irritate them, and wrathful words make them wrathful; but kind words produce a picture on the mind, and it is always a beautiful picture. For Lengthening Frocks If a small girl's skirt is too short for her a clever way to lengthen it is to cut the skirt above the hem and then insert a puffing of some pretty contrasting material. This may also be carried out around the sleeves and neck of the dress if it is intended to be worn with a guimpe. Such trimmings will give the frock an altogether new air, and the wee to will feel that she has a "real new dress." In making puffings for lengthening purpose it is well to remember to allow half an inch extra in width, as the puffing will take up some of the material. Elaborate Collars On some of the one-piece frocks made of silk or cotton the lace or embroidered-linen collars are finished out in strange ways, running down under a pindle to form coat tails falling into loose panels or turned up to make hoods. Comparatively small roll collars are much used, even upon very dressy frocks. When a coat is to render the pollet, a three-piece costume the collar is usually fixed on the corsage and the coat is collariess. When the coat is put on the corsage the collar is turned over on so the coat to make a pretty finish for it. H. G. JEFFRESS Special American Black Thibet. Fashionable Blue Gray Mixture Suitings.

Savage offers "Ten-Million," the Americanized French force that has created laughter at the Thirty-Ninth Street and the Herald-Square theaters, successfully during 150 performances. It is said that the laughter loving public here have a force that is brimful of the best kind of clean comedy and that it is totally devoid of suggestive lines and situations. Originally the work of M. M. Berr and Gullemand, "The Million" has been re-written for America and put on in a way that pleges the eye and ear of the normal citizen. Nothing offends, everything is arranged to tickle the sensibilities. It is thoroughly farcical in construction and presents a wide variety of funny characters. The Grand. It is five years since Mrs. Langtry last appeared in the theaters in this country, but her name and her beauty have always been things with which to conjure, and the lapse of half a decade, during which time a new generation of theatergoers has shoved aside the older ones, has in no way lessened her powers as a drawing card. On the occasion of her previous visit Mrs. Langtry placed a one-act sketch of South African life written by Graham Hill and called "Between the Nighttall and the Light," and she is using now a playlet about the suffragette movement entitled "Helping the Cause." It is a tense and forceful argument in dramatic form albeit there are flashes of brilliant satire, for the phase of the suffrage question with which the famous "Jersey Lily's" dramatist has dealt is the militant one and therefore offers wide scope for the play of humor and sometimes the sharp rapier of ridicule. It is this vehicle that Mrs. Langtry will use when she comes to the Grand for a week's stay of two performances a day, beginning next Monday afternoon, November 4. Moreover, Mr. Davis is surrounding the distinguished headliner with a galaxy of such eminent entertainers as Walter C. Kelley, known everywhere as the delightfully humorous "Virginia Judge." The Duguesne. One of the funniest plays that ever saw the footlights, "The Strange Adventures of Miss Brown," is to furnish a festival of mirth and merriment at the Duquesne theater next week. In reviving this celebrated fun play, the Harry Davis Stock players are assuring their host of patrons a welcome treat of uproarous comicality, for this big laughter it has held the boards ever since its original production with Louis Mann in the chief role, as a real rival to "Charley's Aunt" in sheer delightfulness of humor. At the Duquesne next week Dennis Harris, whose eccentric and dialect comedy roles have always been so highly applauded, will portray Louis Mann's memorable role of Herr von Moser, while Mary Hall will be Clara Loveridge: Corliss Giles, Captain Courtney: Hal de Forest. Major O Gallagher, and Loretta Wells, Mrs. O Gallagher. NOTICE ALL OUT-OF-TOWN NOTES MUST BE IN THIS OFFICE BY WEDNESDAY NOON.

Take Time for Breakfast Common sense indicates that breakfast should be a substantial meal, enough time should be allowed to eat the morning meal at leisure and enjoy it. The manner in which some people gobble down their breakfast is becoming only to an ostrich. It is one of the great reasons for the existence of what is sometimes called "American dyspepsia." Satire on Our College Youth Sathe on Our College Youth Three boys from Yale, Princeton and Harvard were in a room when a lady entered (says Life). The Yale boy asked languidly if some fellow ought not to give a chair to the lady; the Princeton boy slowly brought one, and the Harvard boy deliberately sat down in it. Awful Danger. Two little children were playing in the both tub, and the elder thought she saw a sudden danger. "Jump out, Mary!" she cried in great excitement. Jump out this minute. The stopper's come out and you'll run down the type of ice you don't get out quick!" Evil in the Betel Nut. About one-tenth of the human-race are betel nut chewers.

L. pastor of the Nazareth Baptist church, Washington. We were offered for the unsaved among us. We wish to welcome home again our pastor and delegates, who have been absent attending the Pennsylvania Baptist State convention and the excellent reports they bring back to us, also we rejoice that our Sunday school superintendent, who has been ill with the grip, is able to be with us again.

Downingtown, Pa. - The Downingtown Industrial and Agricultural school of this town recently opened under the most favorable circumstances in its history. The enrollment of students for the first three weeks was three times more than for a similar period since the beginning of the school. The dormitories are all filled and the faculty has had to refuse admission to scores. The Lincoln university preparatory class is the largest in the history of the school. The growth of the school has now enabled the management to properly divide the institution into several departments, each having its own principal. The school is fortunate in securing the services of the Rev. Samuel J. Branch as principal of the department of education. Professor Branch is an expert in his line and brings to the school not only skill and knowledge, but years of experience as a successful teacher. Miss Bessie Collins is in charge of the domestic science, millinery and dressmaking departments and is well qualified for the position. Miss Collins was formerly supervisor of the industrial work under the management of the Jeanes fund. Downingtown deems itself fortunate in securing her services. The commercial department is under the direction of Mrs. Eilee Palmer King, who is not only qualified through training and years of experience, but indeed has inherited from her illustrious father, Dr. John M. Palmer, marvelous adaptability in her line. Dr. Palmer is secretary of the trustee board. The Rev. William King is in charge of the agricultural department and is also principal of the night school. The double work gives him the largest opportunity for the display of agricultural skill and literary pursuit. A number of improvements, have taken place under the expert 'skill of Professor Samuel H. Bythewood, principal of the department of mechanics. Under his management the artesian well has been installed, the new laundry completed, hot and cold water connections have been introduced into the buildings, and a magnificent silo and an eight horse-power portable engine have been installed. One of the great problems of all mixed schools is to secure the right kind of a woman as matron. Girl students have rejoiced as never before over the management and discipline already brought into being through the new matron. Mrs. Martha E. Bottis. Mrs. Bottis is the wife of Professor J. W. Bottis. She is peculiarly adapted for the position of matron. Mrs. Frances E. Branch, formerly a teacher in the Virginia Normal and Collegiate Institute, Petersburg, Va., is in charge of the literary department. It was with great reluctance that the Virginia Normal and Collegiate Institute gave up Mrs. Branch. Miss Estelle Jarrott, Miss Estelle Wills, Mrs. Anna C. Bythewood and the efficient secretary, Miss Bertha C. Burnett, are among the older teachers. President William A. Creditt continues his enthusiastic management of the entire institution and has the entire cooperation of the faculty, board of trustees and friends of the school. Explanation of Dreams Dr. Freud says that every dream can be taken to pieces for investigation. The dream is not really continuous. It consists of a series of groups centering about what he terms "knots," and by investigating the association of these dream-knots with one's normal life he will learn that the dream was based on a wish or on wishes, some of which may be so vague that he was hardly aware of them. Women's Eineness of Touch Electrical engineers number young women among their workers, and Edition is said to prefer women machines for their fineness of touch. Mrs. Ira Tott of Long Beach, Cal., founded and managed on entire electric plant successfully. Being an expert engineer, she superintended the building of her plant and bought and installed the machinery. Wise and Simple Rule If we are ever in doubt what to do, it is a good rule to ask ourselves what we shall wish on the morrow that we had done—John Lubbock. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS THE PITTSBURGH COURIER Memphis, the county seat of Shelby county, Tennessee, founded in 1826 and chartered as a city in 1849, called the Bluff City, 109 miles west of Nashville, is one of the chief commercial cities of the south and one of the most important cotton markets in the United States. The growth of this city, both in population and commerce, has been remarkable. The population has grown from less than 9,000 in 1850, to 131,105 in 1910. There are only five cities in the United States that have larger negro populations than Memphis. The last census shows negro population in six cities as follows: Washington, D.C., 9,444; New York, 9,172; New Orleans, 89,262; Baltimore, 84,749; Philadelphia, 84,599; Memphis, 82,441. There are in Shelby county, however, between 90,000 and 100,000. The new union depot which dost five million dollars, with equal accommodations for both races, the imposing sky-scrapers, the beautifully shaded and paved streets, the costly residences, the 1,000 acres of lovely public parks, the junction of several great railroads, the trolley cars threading the avenues in every direction, the numerous factories, public buildings, costly and spacious churches, add to the charm of this most wonderful southern city, situated on the great "Father of Watera". The spirit of progress is contagious. The colored people of this city have caught the spirit. Many of them have made good. They have been helped and encouraged by their white neighbors. This is very gratifying. As evidence of the material advancement, it is interesting to note that the value of the output of the various manufacturing establishments in Memphis has grown from a little more than one and a half million dollars in 1850 to over thirty million dollars in 1912, an increase of two thousand per cent. The negro's best friends are found in the south. Here is an instance: In Judge Miller's court room the other day a negro woman was tried on the charge of theft. His employer, a well-known Dallas woman who is prominent in social circles, believed him innocent. The evidence was entirely circumstantial. She saw that the boy had a good lawyer and she appeared as a witness in his behalf. The jury heard her story and promptly acquitted the negro, for the 12 men were fair-minded southerners who believe in giving the negro with a good record the benefit of the doubt. There is no blind prejudice against the black in the south. There is no race problem here, because the south is not careless in its social relations. The negro finds his real haven of refuge in Dixieland where he can always get a job, a square meal and a square deal. He knows the people are not his pretended friends when he tries to do right, and that they will fight for him when he is unjustly treated.—Dallas Times-Herald. Christian philosophy was designed from the beginning to keep the children of the woman and the sons of the man in their proper relation to one another in the home, the church and the state, so that the human race might be perpetuated, as the races before the Christian era were not. The thoughtful women of the negro race should study this matter. What the race needs are men, and it can't have them if the negro women follow their white sisters out of the home and family making into the world of affairs where they must cease to be women and cannot be men.—New York Age. The ancient Guild of Spectacle Makers is numerically one of the strongest of London companies. Its charter dates from the year 1629, and though the exact date of its origin is lost, there is ample evidence that the calling of spectacle maker was extensively followed at a very early date. An old book of 1563 mentions the spectacle makers among other traders, and the biography of Carl Zeno, an illustrious Venetian, who died in 1418, mentions that even at the age of eighty-four he needed no artificial aids to his sight. So presumably spectacles were common in Italy five centuries ago. At Seattle Doctor Crichton has ordered the use of Puget sound sea water to lay the dust and flush the streets. "Salt water is one of the best germicides in the world," says Doctor Crichton. "Sea water contains several grains of chloride of sodium to the gallon, and within a few days the city's streets will become white with sodium chloride and the action of the sun's rays on this will produce chloride gas, one of the very best disinfectants known to science." The Philadelphia Traction company has been experimenting with women conductors, in order to minimize the trouble it has with men and to reduce the cost of operating expenses. If the experiment succeeds the men conductors will have to go, as the ticket sellers have gone, and the motormen will be in danger of losing their jobs. After a woman has been a trolley car conductor for a month who would have her for a wife. The ages of woman masculinity and rule have always been the death ages of man femininity and rule. Lieutenant Mortenol, a negro, who is a native of Guadeloupe, has just been promoted captain in the French navy. There are several Chinese officers in the French army, but Captain Mortenol is the first negro to attain high rank in the navy. Some women are so changeable that they never wear the same complexion twice. No woman can afford to be a moment late if she expects to be called business-like. The average Chinaman knows how to keep silent when everybody else is talking. The average negro knows how to talk when everybody else is keeping silent. The two attitudes are not the same. The Chinaman learns a great deal by keeping his mouth shut and the negro forgets a great deal by keeping his mouth open. What a man learns and what a man forgets are not the same. Dr. Sun-Yat-Sen, who did so much to make the Chinese Republic possible, and was its provisional president, has been silent for months while the press of the world was trying to make it appear that the Chinese republic was on the verge of disruption because Dr. Sen and President Yuan Shikai was at loggerheads over everything. Dr. Sen now breaks his silence in a Nankin interview to the New York Sun to declare that, personally, his relations with the president are cordial, and that their differences as to public policy and questions are only such as exist between statesmen in all countries who work together for the common welfare. He says: "I believe I can safely say that upon one matter of first importance all the leaders in China are of one mind: The best good of the country. As to how this may be attained is quite another matter, but we are all striving and working for the mortalities and noble end." No one thinks of a civil war in the United States simply because Mr. Taft, Mr. Wilson and Mr. Roosevelt do not agree upon matters of public policy. Each of these gentlemen is certainly a true American and a patriot of a very high order. Yet there are—if my knowledge of American affairs is worthy—many great and vital issues upon which they disagree totally. May it not be so in China?—New York Age. "Negro Year Book"—whoever heard of such a thing? "Annual Encyclopedia of the Negro"—whoever thought of devoting a whole volume of a year book and encyclopedia to any single race of people? Here it is, however, and it comes from Tuskegee. No one claims to have shown originality in thinking of it. It bears the name of Monroe N. Work. "In charge of research and records." Out of these records, at first only of the students and graduates of Tuskegee, and then of the negro population, this first of all race books seems to have grown. Behind a desk of the Chicago Theological seminary 14 years ago a young negro student, Work by name, sat for three years. With plooding persistence he studied and struggled his way through to graduation. Ever loyal to his race, he eagerly learned all he could from them and the whites how to help them help themselves. He began at the beginning in looking about him here in Chicago, to find out what the actual conditions of his people were. In the mouth he continued to look for facts on which to base the means and plans which Tuskegee and other schools for life and work were devising and carrying out. And now from his card catalogue of "case records" and race facts comes this new and valuable attempt to register the progress of a race in this "Negro Year Book and Annual Encyclopedia." Although it is but a beginning, it is credible enough to him and his people to mark an epoch in their history.—Tuskegee Student. A a shy man will imitate the tactics of his older brother and wonder if that fellow meets with the same coolness. Five hundred Cuban negroes captured in the late uprising in the province of Oriente have been rounded up in the jails of Havana for safe keeping, as the other jails are already overcrowded. The Latin people like to play at revolution, and those who succeed fare sumptuously for a season, while those who fall, if captured, are very sure of having their heads cut off. If the Latin-American people should spend one-half the time in building up their governments that they do in striving to tear them down they would be a great and progressive people. For example, Mexico has lost in the past twelve months of internecine war what she had gained in thirty years at domestic peace. President Blaz ruled with a strong hand for a long period of years, but under him Mexico was prosperous at home and had abundant credit abroad. If America's annual candy supply were loaded on one train there would be over 8,000 trucks full of boxes, buckets and glass jars. This load of sweetmeats for the sweet tooth of the American girl costs the consumers about $125,000,000 every year. The woman's work is essentially in the home. The home is the foundation upon which the Christian church and state are builted. Destroy the Christian home by unsexing woman in her work and manners as wife and mother and daughter, and the underworld, the wolves and swine of the social order will rise up and sweep the Christian church and state from the map of the world. What then? The answer is to be found in the death of Egypt, Babylon, Carthage, Greece and Rome before the Christian era. Soilom thought he was de wisest man, but duy is folks in de worl'today who think duy could give him points in de wisdom game, an den beat him at it. With hearts as trumps any old gay deceiver can play a never-ending game. Nobody thinks much of the widely advertised self-made man. Folly is what the other guys give themselves up to.

With our younger set one may consider it a miracle if one gets anything back under six months if at all. "I forgot," or "I lost it," seem to be all the apology that many young girls deem necessary—Exchange. Normal Education. If education were normal, we would find it a wide, free, subtly adjusted system of transference of knowledge wherein each and all could delightfully bring their minds to be fed, life-long; and wherein those most gifted as teachers: i. e., most enjoying the active side of that transference, could delightfully do the feeding.-Gilima. Truly Good Man. A good man is happy within himself, and independent upon fortune; kind to his friend, temperate to his enemy, religious just, indefatigably inobious, and he discharges all duties with a constancy and congruity of notions. Reserve Self-Respect Being honest is the greater part of achievement. When you know that you're doing the best within you, you can't be downed. Self-respect is an eternal life preserver—no matter how often circumstances wreck you, you are bound to sent back to solid ground again—Exchange. Refigion a Choice of Service By HEV. JAMES M. GRAY, D.D. Dear of the British Bible Society, Chicago THEN: "Choose you this day when ye will serve," Joshua, 8:18. These words were spoken by Joshua to the nation of Israel. He is now These words were spoken by Judah to the nation of Israel. He is now an old man soon to theugy of all the earth and he gathers the leaders of the people about him to have them renew their covenant with God That renewal is practicallyumed up in the words of the text [Image of a bald man's head with a serious expression]. (1) Let us lay emphasis upon the word "serve." Religion is service, whether it be a false religion or the true one that we have in mind. So far as the abstract question of service is concerned, one neither james nor gale by accepting Christianity. "How ye not," says the apologetic Paul, "thip to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey his servants ye are to whom ye obey, whether of sin unto death or of obedience unto righteousness." There may be a change of masters or a change in the character and the rewards of service, but so far as service itself is concerned there is no change. When, therefore, one is entreated to take Christ's yoke upon him it is not as if he had never worn a yoke before, but only a question so to whether he would remain in the bonds of iniquity or obey one in the keeping of whose commands there is great reward. (2) Let us say, emphasis upon "choose." Religion is a matter of choice, for men may serve God or not as they please. Of course he may compel a man to serve him, but ordinarily he does not do this a man would be merely a machine if he did. This liberty of choice is man's glory and also his peril. As Whittier says: Though God be good, and free be heaven, No force divine can love compel; And though the song of sins fordens May sound through lowest hell; The sweet perseverance of his voice Necessity of sanctity of will. He giveth day; thou hast thy choice To walk in darkness still. (3) Let us lay emphasis upon "you." "Judge therefore yourselves, brethren, that ye be not judged of the Lord." Let every other personality fade from your consideration and consciousness, and think only of your own solitarity in the Dyne presence when "Every one of us shall give an account of himself to God." In every congregation where the gospel is preached Satan entrapes individuals in the snare of self-deception by helping them to lose themselves in the mass. How is it with you? You may have attended church all your life and yet never personally, consciously, definitely and irreversibly made a choice to serve God through Jesus Christ. Will you do it now? (4) Let us lay emphasis on "this day." There is peril in delay. The young prince, Napoleon, in the Hai war, was one day riding at the head of a squad outside the camp. It was a dangerous position and some one said: "We had better return or we shall fall into the hands of the enemy." "Oh," said the prince, "Let us stay here ten minutes and drink our coffee." Before the ten minister elapsed the Zulus were upon them and the prince lost his life. When his sorrow-striken mother heard it, she exclaimed: "Ah, that was his mistake from babyhood; he was ever pleading for ten minutes more. On this account I sometimes called him Mr. Ten Minutes." How many have lost their souls if not their bodies by a like procrastination? God commands you to choose him today. Does a human monarch indulge his subjects in delay when the edict has gone forth for their objection? How then, can we trifle with the law of God? And they think of the privilege "Now is the accepted time, today is the day of salvation." What tomorrow may mean we do not know, now even that there shall be tomorrow. For millions tomorrow will not be. "Wherefore, it is written, today if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts." What Is Meant by Serving God? What, indeed, but to yield our wills to him that he may here his will in us in all things? That will is revealed in his word, and as we read and meditate upon it, as it is proclaimed and expounded unto us in the power of his Holy Spirit, it is for us to follow where it leads. His grace is promised to enable us to do this. The first step, however, is to confess his son Jesus Christ as favoured and Lord. No man is a soldier until he has enlisted, subscribed the cathd and danced the uniform, and so in the army of the Lord, he who would belong to it must comply with similar conditions. When the countrymen of Jesus said to him, "What must we do that we may work the works of God?" Jesus answered, "This is the work of God that ye believe on him whom he hath sent." To believe on him is not merely to admit that he once lived on this earth and that he was crested, and died and rose again from the dead. The disciples believe this and tremble. But it is to trust him and give ourselves over to him to be saved, and danced from sin and guided and controlled by his spirit. If you have never done this, let me urge you to do it now, so your eyes fall upon these words. This for every unseen soul, is the meaning of Joshua's words, "Choose you this day when ye will serve."
