THE PITTSBURGH COURIER SUGGEST A REFUGE FOR WAYWARD GIRLS CIRCULATION BOOKS ARE OPEN TO ADVERTISERS VOL. III. NO. 49. No Proper Place Established For Dealing With Young Offenders Under Sixteen An article in the New York Herald of Aug. 27, 1911, reads as follows: "Of the many institutions in the city there, is none where colored girls under sixteen years of age may be received for care and restraint, and the judges in the children's court are greatly perplexed as to the proper disposition of the cases that come before them. Neither Catholic nor Protestant Negro children. It is said, are received by the institutions of their faith, and the only place where they can be looked after in the city is at the Children's society, which can only keep these girl offenders for a few weeks and then is obliged to return them to their homes for lack of suitable institutions to send them to. The State Training school will receive them, but the number of cottages set aside for Negro girls is always filled." "This matter, which is now under investigation, was brought up a short time ago when two Negro girls were convicted of petit larceny by Judge Wilkin in the children's court, and the judge found that there was no place to which he could commit them. The law prohibits the sending of children to jail. "Judge Wilkin is particularly interested in this matter, as he many times has occasion to sentence young Negro girls. He thinks such girls who are not committed to any institution containate other children. "The question is one which demands immediate attention," said Judge Wilkin. "It is not a case of charity or benevolence, but of necessity. There are many cases where these children positively need educational care, but until a place is founded for them we are at a standstill in regard to the administration of Justice. "The Children's society is also interested in this question; and will co-operate with any movement which will provide for relief. The following table indicates the disposition of thirty-nine cases of colored girls who were handled by the Brooklyn Society For the Prevention of Cruelty to Children between June 1, 1910, and Aug. 15, 1911: Returned to their homes because of no institution to receive them.... 25 Excluded admittance to institutions upon admission. Committed to institutions and received P. E. House of Mercy accepted..... 2 Howard Orphan asylum accepted..... 2 New York State Training school ac- c Riverdale Orphan system (added after first report) Total $35 A footnote to the Brooklyn society's report says that all of the twenty-eight were returned to their homes after being committed because there was no institution to which to send them and that three of the others should have been committed. Adding to the twenty-eight these three, and four more out of the additional six since June 1, two of these having gone to hospitals, one sees therefore that there have been under the care of one organization from June 1, 1920, to Aug. 15, 1911, thirty-five girls who should have had institutional care, but who have instead been returned to homes of bad influence. Mr. H. C. Preston, superintendent of the Brooklyn S. P. C. C., said that the number thirty-nine represents about 50 per cent of the number that would probably come under their care if the workers knew there was any proper way of disposing of them. L. R. age fourteen years, was taken from a motherless home from which two brothers had been sent to state institutions for delinquents and in which was a shiftless and irresponsible father. After the girl had left her home she hired a room from an adult reprobate and began a life of prostitution. There was no private institution to which the girl could be sent, so she was placed in several private homes, in each of which she proved to be incorrigible and apparently unresponsive. In these homes she came in contact with younger children and, of course, she an unwholesome influence over them. This child should have been taken to an institution for study and guidance when first found to be inclined toward a life of dishonor. (History of case on record). The following is a table showing the disposition of nineteen cases handled by the New York S. P. C. C. from June 1, 1910, to April 1, 1911: Admitted to any institution ... 4 Returned to their relatives ... 10 For whom private homes were found ... 2 Department of charities (mental deficiency) ... 1 Deported ... 1 Pending ... 1 Total ... 19 Of seventy-seven colored girls handled in the juvenile court for Manhattan and the Bronx from Dec. 1, 1900, to Feb. 25, 1910, forty-three were under fourteen years of age and thirty-three from fourteen to sixteen (one seventeen). Of the former forty-three only twenty-four were committed to insti- The Paper That Promotes Progress Fill out at once and give to our agent, or mail direct to office. Send P. O. money order or cash.

One of the most enterprising young business men in this city, who is destined to reach a high place in the commercial life of the race, is N. H. Drew. Like most young men who overcome difficulties and win success, Mr. Drew tells an interesting story of the many hard struggles which he has encountered during his brief business career in the north. When Mr. Drew became a resident of New York a few years ago he was unknown, had no money and no friends to whom he might look for any substantial assistance. But by pluck and energy, self reliance and a determination to succeed he has carved out a way for himself. He is a native of Margaretsville, N. C., where he received the pulpworks of an education. As a boy he worked about the railroad station in his home town. The experience which he gained by doing errands and odd jobs he later turned to good account. Being dominated with the spirit of thrift and industry and with a desire to better his condition, young Drew decided to try his fortune in Norfolk. Va., but only remained there for one year. Leaving Norfolk, Mr. Drew's next stopping place was in Long Island City, N. Y., where he applied for work in a newspaper office; but, being unacquainted with the many details of work of this kind, his application was not favorably considered. He did find employment, however, in a factory in Long Island City, and this gave him his first experience of work in the north. After remaining in this position for some time Mr. Drew secured a position in an apartment house in New York, accepting the small sum of $1.50 per week, with room and board. In this capacity he made good. He saved enough within a few years. (Continued on Page Eight.) (Courtesy Pittsburgh Dispatch.)

PRESBYTERIANS IN UPLIFT WORK FOR AFRO-MERICANS PRESBYTERIANS IN UPLIFT WORK FOR AFRO-MERICANS The Experiment of Establishing Colored Persons on Individual Farms Thoroughly Explained St. Louis—The experiment of the Presbyterian church's freedmen's board in establishing colored persons on individual farms in Georgia was described as part of the board's work by Miss Robert Barr of Pittsburgh at the recent annual meeting of the Missouri Synodical society in the West Presbyterian church, this city. Miss Barr, who is assistant secretary of the board, said the first aim of the board is to give the Negro race a good moral foundation. They must therefore first be trained in the Bible and Christian living. "The board is criticised sometimes," she said. "because it does not make industrial education the first feature. It believes thoroughly in industrial education and equips schools for the work as fully as possible." She described the farm of 1,000 acres at Keyesville, Ga., near Augusta, from which the board is parceling off to the Negro farms of twenty or thirty acres each, giving to each a mule and a plow and building a small cottage. The tenant is allowed to pay for this equipment and the land by rental fees, so that in time the property becomes his. wn. "The colored people of the United States now own forms." s. i. Miss Barr: "of such extent as would include all the New England states." By this statement she referred to Negro ownership generally, not alone to that fostered by the Presbyterian board. This board operates 151 schools, all of them being taught entirely by Negroes except six. The board emphasizes the need of an educated Negro ministry and supports in part 280 Negro ministers. There are 15,000 children in the board's schools, and in each one the Bible is a daily textbook. Mrs. M. J. Glidersleeve of New York city secretary of the woman's board of home missions, at a study class during the meeting pointed out the wide culture which may arise from mission study. "It is a university education," she said. (Continued on Fage Eight.) AN INTERESTING EVENT IN SECRET SOCIETY CIRCLES Ben-Hur Lodge K. of P. Held Its Annual Thanksgiving Services at Concord MANY MEMBERS TURN OUT An interesting event in secret society circles in Brooklyn, week ending Nov. 16, was the annual thanksgiving services of Ben-Hur lodge, No. 19, Knights of Pythias. The services were held in the Concord Baptist church, and the sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr. William M. Moss. Members of the lodge, with members of the Court of Calanthe were out in large numbers in dress regalia, which added charm and beauty to their appearance as they marched with quick step and steady bearing into the church. The choir of the church, under the leadership of Professor P. Albert Myers, conceded to be the best in Brooklyn among Afro-Americans, discoursed appropriate music, which was enjoyed by an audience of over 700 persons. The statement of the lodge for the information of the minister and the public was read by Thomas E. Scott, keeper of records and seals. Mr. Scott said that Ben-Hur lodge was founded by Sir Knight William H. McFarland, past grand chancellor of the state of New York and who now holds the position of master of finance. The lodge was organized by Grand Chancellor Richard E. Clark and is the youngest of the order in this section of New York. After citing brief bits of interesting history relating to how the Order of Knights of Pythias was founded and of the friendship which existed between Damon and Pythias, Mr. Scott gave the figures showing the amount of dues paid to a financial member when sick, the amount paid to the widow or heirs of a deceased member and the amount paid to a member in case he loses his wife or child. Dr. Moss' section was very encouraging. It dealt with the history and times in which Damon and Pythias lived and the benefits to be derived from true friendship. In the prelude to his sermon Dr. Moss took the opportunity to say that while he did not approve of the wild acts of Champion Jack Johnson, he was just as much averse to the unjust treatment which Johnson is now receiving. A dog is entitled to fair treatment, said Dr. Moss. The audience showed its approval of the preacher's remarks by loud amens. There is only one thing better than an 'ad' in The Courier and that is another one. Are you patronizing colored enterprises whenever possible, or are you putting his place and helping the other follow up the ladder to the delights of your race. Don't only go where you are forced, but help your own at every opportunity. Remember that every colored man that gets to pull you up too.

OBERLIN MUSIC TEACHER TAKES PART IN RECITAL Brilliant Interpretation of Classical Compositions by One of the Best Known Pianists Mrs. Maude T. Doolittle, one of the best known concert pianists on the teaching force of the Oberlin (O.) Conservatory of Music, showed her qualities as a true artist in her interpretation of an interesting program, made up of compositions by the modern classic composers, recently at Fisk university, Nashville, Tenn. Her program also included compositions by Debussy and Faure of the modern French school. In the rendition of these selections the artist's well grounded technique drew from the large and enthusiastic audience of students, teachers and city visitors prolonged applause. Her program included: Bach-Llist, fantasie in G minor; Brahms, ballade in G minor; Schumann, fantasiestruck op. 124, romance op. 32, No. 3 (Firefly); Taubert, suite op. 58, No. 2; Chopin, etudes op. 10, No. 1, op. 5; Nos. 5, 6, 12, scherzo B flat minor; Debussy, preface A minor; Faure, impromptu op. 31, No. 2; Wagner-Llist, spinning song; Llist, rhapsodie No. 12. A bequest of $1,900, left by Mrs. Caroline S. Martin of Dover, N. H., was recently received by the treasurer of the university. This bequest will become a part of the endowment. The institution has done a great work of uplift in the past by sending out trained teachers among the people in various sections. They easily become leaders of thought and industry. BOYS TEASING A MAN CAUSES A FATAL FALL Pursued by a crowd of boys who were teasing him and throwing stones at him, it is alleged, an unknown Negro aged about 45, fell over a retaining wall to the Baltimore & Ohio railroad tracks, near Thirty-third street, and was killed almost instantly. His neck was broken by the fall, a distance of about 30 feet. John Fox, of 553 Melwood street, saw the Negro fail. A train, crew was passing at the time on a light engine and they picked up the body. The man died in a few minutes. A letter addressed to Miss Winfried Rockwell, 151 Forest avenue, Washington, Pa., was found on the Negro's person. THE CHARGE AGAINST JOHNSON IS DROPPED Chicago, Ill.-A charge of abduction against Jack Johnson was dismissed because Municipal Judge Hopkins today, because of the prosecution's inability to prove that Lucille Cameron, the white girl whose association with Johnson led to his arrest, had been abducted by him. The girl and her mother, Mrs. Cameron-Falconnet, both of whom are witnesses against Johnson in the federal action for alleged violation of the Mann white slave act, were not in court when the case was dismissed. ADVERTISING TALKS ADVERTISING TALKS A business house advertises for results. Your dollar looks as good to him as any man's. Now, the point we wish to make, and impress the fact upon you, is this: First—We are striving to discriminate and are seeking only such merchants who give you full value for your dollar as well as treat you courteously, so when you see an advertisement in The Courier you will make no mistake in patronizing him. Secondly — we wish to impress upon you the importance, and we cannot put too much stress upon this point, of patronizing our advertisers and when doing so tell them you read their advertisement in The Courier. Remember that the life, success and growth of the paper depends upon what we can produce in dollars and cents to those who advertise in this paper. Don't forget to remember the success of this enterprise is in your hands and can only be assured by patronizing our advertisers. THE PAPER TIME, REACHES THE HOME FIVE CENTS A COPY Encouraging Signs of Premise For the Future of the Race In This Artistic Field INSPIRATION TO THE YOUNG BY JOHN E. BRUCE (GRIT). Everybody who has taken the trouble to investigate the matter knows that one of the most beautiful songs ever written, "Listen to the Mocking Bird," was composed by a wandering Negro street minstrel, George Milburn of Philadelphia, over fifty years ago. It was set to music by a white man. Septimus Winner, who got all the credit for it and whatever financial profit there was in it. Milburn got something like a dozen copies of the song after it was published, and many people told him he was a genius. But Milburn was not the only Negro in Philadelphia who could compose sweet tunes. He was, perhaps, the only one among his brethren in the musical firmament who could not write a musical score. Of those who could give full expression to their ideas as composers of music may be mentioned James Hemmenway, who wrote a sentimental song entitled, "That Rest So Sweet Like Bliss Above," which attained wide popularity in Philadelphia and elsewhere. It was published in Atkinson's Casket, a musical journal, to which he was a contributor in October, 1829. Mr. Hemmenway wrote also "The Philadelphia Grand Entree March," "Washington Gray's Grand March," "Washington Gray's Bugle Call" and "Hunter and Hop Waltzes," which were published by Willig, and the "Philadelphia Hop Waltz," published by Lee & Walker. Another Philadelphia, A. J. Conner, wrote and dedicated to Miss Matilda Cornish, a popular a. young lady of color, a. "My Cherished Hope, My Fondest Dreams," which was published in the Anglo-African Magazine in January, 1857. He also wrote the "Evergreen Polka," published by Oliver Dress in Boston, 1859; "American-Polka Quadrilles," 1846; "New York Polka Waltz," published by A. Flot in Philadelphia, 1846; "General Taylor's Galop," published by J. G. Osborn, 1846; "Philadelphia Polka Waltz," "I. O. of O. F. Quadrille," published by Lee & Walker, 1846; "Chestnut Street Promenade Quadrille," published by S. T. Gordon, New York, 1859. Robert Murray of Baltimore wrote the "Furioso Gop," published by Boswell & Barrett, and the "Tedesco Polka," published by George Willig. I have not been able to fix the dates of these publications, however. J. W. Postlewatte of St. Louis in 1852 wrote and published the "St. Louis Grays' Quickstep" and the "Dewdrop Schottish" in 1851. They were published by Balmer & Weber, St. Louis. The famous Negro bandmaster of Philadelphia and leader of Frank Johnson's band, the only organization of its kind (of which we have any knowledge) to tour Europe in a series of band concerts and which was commanded to play before Queen Victoria, was the author of more than threescore musical compositions—dirges, marches, quadilles, cotillions, polka, patriotic songs, quickstones, etc. "The Victoria: Galop," in honor of the queen of England, and "General Cadwallader's March," gained considerable popularity in their day. Both were published by Willig at Philadelphia, as were most of his other productions. The Society For Historical Research has quite an extensive list of these early Negro musical composers. That the Negro is highly musical is attested by the many creditable evidences of his genius as a composer which have been handed down to us by a past generation. These are hopeful signs of promise for the future of the Negro in music and should furnish inspiration to the rising generation. Young Men's Christian Association. The prospect for a new building for the Young Men's Christian association in Philadelphia seems bright. Work on the plans is going forward rapidly. The building is to cost $100,000. It will be of brick, four stories high, with basement, and have a frontage of 130 feet. A swimming pool, gymnasium, social lobby and game room will be features. Class and club rooms will occupy the second floor, and the upper stories will contain living rooms. Henry W. Porter, who has been in charge of the Southwark branch since its organization two years ago, will have charge of the new building. We are going to give our readers another opportunity to save money, and also give our agents an opportunity to obtain some extra money without much labor.

The guilty are always suspicious. The South is always "supersensitive" when the question of its treatment of the Negro is brought to public attention with any unusual emphasis. Recently The Pittsburgh Dispatch, one of the leading daily journals of Pittsburgh, published an editorial comment on the "progress of the colored race in the United States." Among other things the writer of that editorial said: "It is an unfortunate fact that prejudice against the Negro seems to increase." A Southern editor took exceptions to the statement and charges that the Dispatch criticizes the South, editorially charging that the South is standing in the way of the Negro race. the progress. Any person who read the timely article, referred to will remember that no particular section of the country was mentioned, but the bare statement that prejudice against the Negro seems to be on the increase. The guilty Southern editor charges that the Dispatch is shouldering the South with standing in the way of the Negro and his progress. The Southern editor is sadly in error if he thinks prejudice can possibly increase in the South; it is at high water mark now, and an increase over the present conditions is admittedly impossible. The brick thrown in the crowd struck some one of the bunch, and judging from the noise made in Memphis the guilty party was on the receiving end of the brick. We have only to ask the Southern gentleman to explain how Blease was elected Governor of his State, if it was not upon the wave of negrophobia created for the purpose. Prejudice increasing? Idle talk. We have heard orators proclaim the "new South;" we have heard the statesmen of our country sing the glad refrain that our Union is "one and inappropriate"; and we have read some of the strongest sentiment of which the American writer is capable, declaring that the Mason and Dixon line has been erased forever from the map of the United States. And all of these saints and writings have But the latest outbreaks of Southern rancor bids us awake and shed the mantle of deception, and face a storm reality, the like of which our country has not before seen. That South of which our orators beast, and CI which our statesmen white is the same canid, warped contracted South always known for its bitterness toward the North and the Negro. They have surpassed all prior bitterness by inaugurating a strenuous campaign against the name, fame and achieve- In Kentucky, the women, think of it, more women, made an organized fight against the erection of a monument to Lincoln in their State; and they were sufficiently determined in their effort to secure the permission to erect a monument to Jefferson Davis, towring above that of Lincoln. In Texas the rebels have declared against the use of Lincoln's picture in the adult text books. In this they will be the only people on earth without the likeness of the greatest figure in American history. Whether Texas that honor Lincoln is of no importance in the civilized world, but that the United States should be disgraced with such a collection of heatbanks passing the human beings under a State constitution is or ought to be of great importance to this country and its future. Just as race prejudice has thrived in the South just so this Lincoln spirit will thrive to the extreme and detriment of the country. It permitted us to unchallenge 1. TOO MANY HOMES FOR POOR. Judging from recent discoveries, Pittsburgh is soon to be known as the city of Homes. The Negroes seem to be trying to secure a home for every citizen. While we believe in the systematic care of our old infirm, orphan, destitute and all other classes, yet there must be a limitation placed upon the ambitions of the Home Builders. Many of the good sisters and brethren who are seeking to establish a Home do not even know the population of the city and county, and therefore can not tell how many Homes are necessary to furnish shelter and care for the needy of our community. We have in our city a few well established Homes, fairly well supported by the Negroes themselves without the aid of any outside charity. We would, or rather if we could be persuaded to, concentrate our efforts upon these institutions and make them worthy of the name, Pittsburgh's poor and needy will never suffer. It is incumbent upon the so-called leaders of this great community to inform the ambitious Home builders that the population will carry only so many and no more, and that the generosity of that same population will stretch only so far and no farther. At present our churches are demanding all the financial help our community can afford, and to be burdened with the moral obligation of helping more Homes is a condition not to be desired just now. We venture the suggestion that we reduce some of the mortgage debts hanging over our homes and houses of worship before we launch into reckless Home building for a poor which is destined to make the poor poorer. Let us have enough of everything; but not too much of anything. JACK JOHNSON NOT GUILTY On one charge at least Johnson has been declared innocent. The case of the Cameron girl was dismissed by the Court for want of proof. Of course every body will say, "I knew it." This one case, be it remembered, was the beginning of Johnson's troubles. Be it also remembered that this Cameron girl wanted to marry Mr. Johnson, as she is quoted saying. We are still of the opinion that Johnson has exploited himself and his money just a little too often, yet we can see evidence of an effort on the part of the Chicago whites to strip the champion of two things: his white women, and his change. Wen Jhonwomen, and his change. When Johnhim, no trouble, and the evident purpose of all this notoriety is to make him poor again. What the white men need to do is to devise some means of reducing the white woman's desire for money; for surely they are not guilty of loving a black man, horrors. Did you notice in what small type and obscure, place several of our daily papers noted his acquittal. Down in the "new South" they hanged the wrong Negro the other day. The Negro sentenced to die looked like another in prison, and to the tuppe of "ail coons look allike" they strung up "any old coon." This is worse than the mob which always claims they "got the right one." My, but Mr. Wilson will have warm time with those fellow citizens of his. Local Another evidence of the progressiveness of our young business man in the appearance this week of a beautiful new casket wagon with a span of fine black horses by J. B. Davis, the undertaker.

Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church "Chrysanthemum Day was quite a success. Mrs. Hla V. Clark preached at 11 o'clock her subject, 'Truth touched the hearts of the large crowd present, the very effective duct. The Golden Gate,' was sung by Mrs. K. Stuart and A. L. Anderson. Two persons united with the church. Hon. Harry W. Bass of Philadelphia, was among the visitors and addressed the audience. Among some things spoke of was. As the chief of the old familiar family in the Thouf of Everybyn Blushing. His mind went back to his childhood days and in fancy he could her voice singing in his heart to sing thy praise. He spoke of the coming Emancipation to be celebrated in Philadelphia, Pa. September, 1913. Walter-Scott, secretary, also urged the men and women to assist in making the celebration one of credit and a pride to the race. At 7:45 p.m. the church was crowded to the doors to listen to a well prepared program. Mrs. Fisser's instrumental selection. "The Palms," Leybach, was rendered in manner, as was 'Cupids' Darts, played by Miss Eugene Anderson. "Miss Bert West, beautiful mizo soprano, supers the 'Holy City,' the recital, was par excellent. Miss Brielle Mussel, Miss Iris Gibba, recitation, "The Valley of Silence," Mrs. Mary Huddle, recitation, "Give Flowers to the Living," Miss Anna E. Stokes of Greensburg, read a paper of "Flowers." A most instructive and beautiful composition, well read. Miss Stokes was warmly congratulated, as the J. S. Caldwell female quartet sang "Softly and Tenderly Jesus is Calling." Several persons united with the church. After offering the beautiful story of the Ten Virgins was told in autumnime. The young woman of the church are commended on the day of spiritual blessings as well as financial success. Sun. November 24, at 11 a.m. m. Rev. L. Cory, Butler, the noted evangelist, will preach. John W. Sand of 59 Crawford school, christor of the senior choir, has been quite ill with pneumonia, is slowly improving. The young son of Mr. and Mrs. John Ringold, Arthur street, died Sunday morning. The funeral services was conducted from the home by the pastor, Rev. W. L. Lee. Euclid Ave. A. M. E. Church Bethel A. M. F. Church the "one week rally" at Bethel church, epping last Sunday night, resulting in nearly eight hundred dollars in cash, was a magnificent exhibition of what can be done when the occasion really demands it and when the people are willing to sacrifice for the church and to follow the plans of able leadership. Dr. Scott organized this rally on Monday night and by the following Sunday realized these splendid results. Another similar rally is arranged for the second Sunday in December, when five hundred dollars must be raised. This is absolutely necessary to save the church from financial peril. On the day of this week the pastor and his family paid the Real Estate Trust Company nine hundred and fifty dollars on the church's indebtedness, as a result of the rally last Sunday. Everybody who attended this church in the three mammoth services of last Sabbath was delighted with the beauty and richness of the handsome pipe organ, which was dedicated by the pastor and a number of visiting clergymen at the afternoon service and all are happy over the fact that the organ was dedicated clear of all indebtedness. - The pastor received seven new members into the church last Sunday one of whom, was converted at the morning service. There will be interesting services here next Sunday. The pastor, Dr. Scott, will deliver a special sermon at 10:45 a.m. and there will be a special sacred concert in the evening, when the church choir will be assist- ed by the Coleman Boy band, the Purple and Blue Ribbon quartets and the Ebenezer Baptist choir. There will also be interesting addresses. This service will be under the auspices of the Women's charitable club for the benefit of the church. Union thanksgiving services will be held Thursday morning at 11 o'clock, Grace Presbyterian and Beth congregations and pastors uniting, and Dr. Lloyd Butter of New York, will deliver the sermon and the two choirs will unite in rendering the music. Thanksgiving dinner will be served in the afternoon by the Junior Stewardess Board and the evening they will hold an "Old Maids' Convention" for the small admission of 10 cents. Provides for the benefit of the interest fund. Inumerable compliments have been bestowed upon our choir for their grand singing last Sunday and upon Miss Mary V. Turner, the genial and accomplished organist who handled the new pipe organ with such skill and efficiency. She certainly proved herself mistress of the situation. Warren M. E. Church (By Nellie V. McCard.) We had quite an appreciative audience at the church both evening and morning of the Sabbath, and the religious movement is being continued during this week, which will end our three-weeks revival campaign for Herron Hill district, and we have had quite a downpouring of the Holy Spirit, and many precious souls have been brought into the fold. Rev. Mitchell, the sweet evangelical singer has been doing a great work. Then Hon. Harry W. Bass and Walter Scott worshipped with us on the Sabbath, and Mr. Bass gave a short talk. All prepare for the Negroes' Own Exposition to be held in Philadelphia next autumn, including all counties in Pennsylvania. The annual Thanksgiving services will be held from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. at the church, locomotive 88, which all are in attendance after which a grand dinner will be served in the dining room from 12:30 to 7:30 p. m. Come one, come all, and partake of the dinner to be given under the auspices of the Ladies' Aid and the Busy Twenty clubs. A grand concert to be given at the church on the 10th of December by Messrs. LeCard and McCloud, in the interest of the church debt. Watch for further particulars. Avery Mission (By Martha J. Wilhelmson): Sunday services, all day, were very much enjoyed by all who attended. Rev. and Mrs. Madden of Oak station, worshipped with us. Next Sunday evening there will be a sacred concert each of the different auxiliaries of the church will perform. There will be papers on "Church Loyalty," giving a lecture in "Church Attendance," "Giving a Part of Our Christianity," "Home Missionary Work," "The Duty of Parents to Sabbath School," "The Value of a Literary Society," and soils, duets and singing by the young choir. The evangelistic services held at the church last week were successful. Quite a number of persons were converted. Our pastor, Rev. L. M. Upperman, will conduct services at Brown chapel church November 21, 22 and 25. The Sunday school will give an entertainment. Thanksgiving night. St Paul Baptist Church (Bs R G Woods.) The Sunday school lesson was beautifully discussed last Sunday and the morning service was conducted by the pastor, Rev. R. H. Thompson; text found II King, 1-3, from which he preached an inspiring sermon. The collections were good. The St. Paul congregation is to sing. We are on the upward march and in a better condition than ever before. We begin on our new church and the many friends for contributing to our rally. The evening service was conducted by the pastor, text from John xiii, 4. Sister Heart has returned from the hospital. A.M. E. Zion Church Scottdale, Pa. (By Miss Anna Hill.) (By Miss Anna Hill) Sunday was rallay at our church and the services were well attended. Rev. Clayton occupied the pulpit in the morning and Rev. Gill of Gullin in the evening. A large prayer meeting and Friday evening class meeting have taken on new life and interest and are being well attended. The entertainment given by the trustees Saturday evening was quite a success. Too much praise cannot be given to the Ladies of the Aid society for the grand and excellent concert and entertainment which was given by them Monday evening at the church. It was largely attended and was quite a success socially and financially. At the end of the program Rev. Clayton delfeered a short address which brought forth great aplause. Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Grigsby and Mrs. Jennie Murray were calling on Mr. and Mrs. McGillin and Mrs. Addle Smith who returned after several weeks visits in Pittsburgh. Arch Swane of Jeannette and Herbert Jackson of Greensburg, were calling on Miss Margaret Grigsby Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. H. Baker, Meedames McKinnon, Bunford and, Miss Nettle McKinney of Mt. Pleasant, attended the concert given by the Ladies' Aid society Monday evening. Metropolitan Baptist Church North Side, Pittsburg, Pa. (Rev James H. Holder, Pastor.) Last Sunday was a big day with us. We had a large audience all day and the pastor preached one of the most excellent sermons we have heard for sometime. We returned early to the communion service, with several visiting ministers, and at 8 p. m. he delivered another sermon. He is one of the coming young ministers in the city. The Metropolitan congregation is very fond of such a man. Next Sunday at 11 a. m. the pastor will preach a Thanksgiving service and at 8 p. m. he will speak. On Thanksgiving day at 11 a. m., the pastor will preach the Thanksgiving PIPE ORGAN DEDICATED FREE OF DEBT THE CHURCH OF THE NATIONAL SCHOOL OF JESUS CHRIST BETHEL A. M. E. CHURCH. The pipe orzan dedication and rally services at Bethel A. M. E. church, last Sunday, were among the most brilliant, impressive and financially successful ever witnessed in Greater Pittsburgh, among our people, and were attended by thousands of people during the day. At 10:45 in the morning nearly a thousand people listened to a most touching and instructive sermon by Dr. Charles LoRoy Eutler of New York, who pictured life as a sea. Following the sermon Dr. Scott made an earnest appeal, and one man accepted Christ, and six persons united with the church. The offering at this service was $330. At 3 o'clock the new handsome organ was solemnly dedicated in the presence of about fifteen hundred people, composed of secret societies, patriciotic and musical organizations, and people of all vocations and professions, from all over the city, and from nearly all the surrounding towns. The Elks' Cornet Band led the Iron City lodge of Elks from their hall, and rendered a number of beautiful selections at the church. The opening prayer was offered by Dr. W. W. Williams, of Brown chapel, and the dedicatory voluntary was played by pipe organist P. Preston Arter, actor of the same church. The dedication anthem was sung by Bethel's large chorus choir, Prof. J. W. Harvis, director, Miss Mary V. Turner presiding with great efficiency at the organ. The dedicatory address and prayer were made by Dr. Scott, the pastor, and the great congregation united in singing, "Praise God from whom all blessings flow." Appropriate and eloquent addresses were lermon from C. Psalms. The Missionary society will serve dinner. The meeting promises to be a success. The evangelistic meetings are still going on at the church. Rev. C. D. Patterson is doing splendid. Brown Chapel Church North Side, Pittsburgh, Pa. (By H Poover) A high day was manifested in Brown chapel Sunday by a large audience. The Holy Spirit hovered over all. At 11:45 Rev. G. W. Williams preached a wonderful sermon. Seven joined the church. At 1:45 p.m. M. Sunday school convened and was largely attended. At 6:30 p.m. Christ was preached by Miss Florence Fairfax, subject "Our Mistakes."

Anderson, Braddock, and Commander McKelvey of the Sons of Veterans of Pittsburgh. The following choirs rendered beautiful selections during this service. Chapel, Brown Chapel, M. Silver Baptist of Sharpsville, Trinity Congregational, Warren M. E., and the Eureka quarter, an especially attractive number was a solo, entitled, "One Heart Solemn Thought," by Olff Collins, the noted bartone scolist. The offering at this service was nearly one hundred dollars. At the evening service the church was again filled to the doors to hear Representative Harry Bass of Philadelphia, who has the distinction of being the first and only colored man that has been elected to the Legislature of Pennsylvania. Harry Bass added a recent appeal for the highest good of our people, industrially as well as religiously, and for the generous support of the great emancipation celebration and exposition to be held in Philadelphia, next September. The entire financial results of the rally amounted to nearly eight hundred dollars in cash, besides a sufficient amount to compense payment of the organ, enclosing this instrument to be dedicated entirely free of debt. Rev. Scott and the organ committee are being deluged with congratulations upon their grant achievements and everybody seems delighted with the grand work being accomplished at historic old Bethel, where we have never before, and Miss Mary Turner, the ac accomplished organist, won new laurels by her splendid manipulation of the new organ. Both Delighted. Two elderly gentlemen, both decently clothed in sober black, were sitting side by side in a Euclid avenue car, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Each was reading a morning paper. Suddenly one of the men uttered an exclamation of pleasure and the other peered at him over his glasses. "I see here," explained the first with a beaming face, "that Mr. B. who died last week, has left his entire fortune to various charitable enterprises. This will be a surprise to his many relatives. It is to me a glad surprise in my case, for I am the pastor of a church to which he has left $10,000." The second man looked at the article and his face, too, became wreathed in smiles. "God bless him!" he exclaimed heartily. "All to charitable institutions in spite of his relatives! Ah, sir, I like to see money left like that. I do, indeed." "Are you also a clergyman?" "No, sir. I am a lawyer." She Knew Harry. "Now, Harry, go to Smith's, the grocer, and get a pound of the best syrup," said his mother, and she handed the young hopeful a couple of good-sized jugs. When the boy had gone the vicar's wife said: "You didn't tell him to get anything in the other jug. As he going to leave it at the shop?" "No, ma'am; he's going to bring it back here again." "But why send two jugs to get a pound of syrup?" "Well, you see, it's this way. If he has a jug in each hand, he can't go dipping his finger 'In the syrup and eating it as he comes along." Odd Sentences. "Break lock for 100 days or go to church every Sunday for six months" was the sentence imposed upon three Kansas City (Mo.) boys, after they had been convicted of throwing eggs at pedestrians. "I sentence this boy to a whipping every morning for a month. Not the namby pamby kind, but good, real hard ones; ones that make him eat off a mantellepiece. You'll find then that he'll develop into a good boy." This was the remedy prescribed by magisterial wisdom in the case of an eight-year-old boy who, his mother said, had a mania for running away from home—Case and Comment. Tragical Wedding Party An appalling happening occurred in Turkey a few days ago, at a wedding celebration, the bride, bridegroom and twenty-eight of the guests being blown to pieces. A powder merchant named Yahla was celebrating his wedding in the village of Sinan, in the Yemen, when a terrific explosion occurred in one of the rooms where powder was stored. The bride and bridegroom and guests all perished, some of them being terribly mutilated. Red Cross Demonstration. Boy Scout (acting realistically as one of the injured)—Give my love to my wife and children and say my last thoughts were of them—Punch. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Ladies living away from Chicago should think twice before allowing their husbands to take them there to live. In Chicago, husbands like riches, frequently take wings and fly away—or they get away somehow. I met a number of women who had been desecrated by their husbands in a very short time. after they had reached that city. Wife desertion in Chicago surpasses that in any other city. Of course when these run away husbands are caught they are imprisoned, and are paroled only on promise that they will support their family. Often the courts collect the money from the employer of a paroled husband and pay it over to the desecrated families. Last year the courts there collected and paid out $75,000. But by reason of lack of prominence the colored brother, bent on desecrating his family, finds it easy to make his get away. And he is rarely ever found, and never returns, although he may be having a high old time just around the corner in another block. And then the whites have an effective method of discovering the wanderer (if white) and of persuading him to return home. They advertise for him in the daily papers, especially in the Sunday editions. His children write touching letters begging him, if alive, to return. These letters, often accompanied by the children's pictures, are printed in the papers. In many instances the man finds that there is only one of two things to do, either return home or get off the earth. Concealment in the white/light of such publicity is out of the question. But such a weapon as this would prove non-effective in the case of nine-tails of the absconding colored brothers. Hence their families spend the weary years in silent suffering looking as do shipwrecked sailors for a sail which they know will never return. One woman ran a little lunch counter near the place where the frugine met. She was trying to make money enough to get back home down in Dixie. She said that when they moved there from the far south, the husband soon became fast, the town was fast, and the two had left her stranded and far away from home. The husband had never been seen since he left, pretending to be going to his job. Hundreds of them never "come back." Another woman was running a shoe shining stand, and while she polished my shoes she told me her illad of woes—husband had been gone for years, leaving her to bring up and support the children who in a few years had also disappeared. Therefore, gentle reader, before you move to Chicago, with your husband, see to it that you have his "adoption tried," and that you have his heart attached to you "with hooks of steel." "For in this naughty city old-fashioned love is regarded as a species of criminal madness—" "Old Hickory." A flag for the negro race has been designed by Bishop J. Lennox of the Zion African Evangelical church. Flags represent nations, not races. It is all nonsense to try to have the negro race adopt a specially designed flag. The only flag the American negro can lay just claim to is the Stars and Stripes. Negroes have volunteered in many of our country's wars to shed their blood that the honor of Old Glory, might be upheld. The song, "Every race has a flag but the coon," simply displays ignorance, and the bishop displays his ignorance also. --- There is no football being played this year at Meharyar Medical college and Pearl High school in Nashville, Tenn. by decision of the facilities of these two schools, because the young men have openly and flagrantly bet and gambled on the results of the games. This is to be regretted. Athletics, in all its legitimate forms, is a necessity, especially in American school life. Of itself the sport is not bad. It does see to us that plans could have been devised and a compelling moral crumple carried on to eliminate these bad practices, thereby retaining the game. If the sport, was abolished without an effort first having been made to suppress the evils attendant upon it, the impassion may go abroad that the course decided on is an acknowledgment of weakness on the part of the powers who refrained from attempting to regulate instead of abolishing. If he is poor, he is a boor; if he is well to do, he has the "czar microbe", but if he is wealthy, he has that admirable characteristic of getting what he wants, when he wants it. Many prominent whites are frankly expressing the view that their race is responsible to a large degree for the American negro's condition, and are endeavoring to awaken more active interest in the work of American negro redemption and conservation. Our people have felt that way about the matter all along. Getting married costs much less than being married. Man proposes and hopes the woman opposes. "How do you like your new son-in-law?" "Well, I've just put him on the list of my poor relations.—Detroit Free Press. Having to go places where you don't want to go, is easier than having to stay in one place where you don't want to stay. The channel of pleasure runs very wide these days, but often very shallow, which gives more people a chance to wade in it. The new attitude which southern college men are assuming toward the matter of race relationship is most encouraging. In the tolerant, broad-minded friendliness of the rising generation of college men lies the hope of the 'negro race'. Eighteen months ago the Young Men's Christian association in colleges of the south launched a movement for a definite study of this problem of the negro by white college men. Our most sanguine hopes did not lead us to believe that we would be able to get more than 2,000 southern college men studying this 'question within the first year. So, so timid were we that at our student conference, where we gathered leaders from all of the colleges of the southwest, we planned to invite personally a group of more mature and broad-minded students to enter this 'question within the first year. We felt that if they became genuinely interested each man could go back to his college and start a similar study group. We had no hopes that we would secure more than 15 or 20 men in this conference for this study. The negro course was announced as one of the seven courses in the home and foreign missions, and what was our amusement when we found that more than one-third of the students in the conference enrolled in the class for negro study. These men going back into various colleges so encouraged the study of this problem that during the term of 1910-1911 we were able to enroll some 4,000 college men in small groups in the study of this question. During the present college year of 1911-1912 we have already enrolled some 6,000 men. Thus it will be seen that in the last 15 months 10,000 southern white college men have been giving some genuine study to the big problems that connect themselves with race relationship in the south.-W. D. Weatherford in the Southern Workman. Fred M. Johnson, negro globe trotter, who fought at San Juan Hill, has invented a belt feed rifle that, it is ascertained, will fire 300 shots without stopping at the rate of 20 shots a second. Johnson says he has received word from the war department that his rifle is considered one of the wonders of the age, and that it soon will receive a trial. The Johnson gun is used much like an ordinary rifle, being about the same weight and length, but instead of the regular stock, the rifle is equipped with a brace which fastens to both shoulders, bringing the barrel to a level with the eye. A small crank fitted to the side of the barrel operates the belt so the cartridges are carried to the chamber, discharged and the shells elected simply by turning the crank. Johnson is now a resident of Cleveland, O. John H. Cebol, 832 Camp street, Indianapolis, Ind., through his attorney here, William L. Houton, has been granted a patent by the patent office on his invention of a non-puncturable tire for automobiles. His patent tire can be punctured with a six or eight penny nail without necessitating stopping for repairs. It is so constructed that no matter how badly the outside rim is punctured the inside tire remains intact. The invention will be a boon to automobile owners, and ought to prove a fortune for the inventor. Every man in a crowded trolley car wonders why the other men do not give up their seats to the women who are standing. Lincoln, Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Harrison, Clewind, McKinley, Rosevelt and Taft are the last nine men elected to the presidency of these United States. Of this number, three were assassinated—Lincoln, Garfield and McKinley. An attempt has been made on Roosevelt's life. Thus nearly half the number were targets for bullets fired by irresponsible enemies of government. If it is necessary to safeguard the lives of crowned heads in Europe, it is more necessary to protect our governmental leaders far better than they have been protected, for America is almost an unrestricted mecca for those who have failed in their insane and fanatical attempts to have all forms of government abolished. Everyone has some part of his work that he can cheerfully part with, and the boy who starts to work without specially defined duties, is apt to soon find himself the busiest person about The human family acquired the habit of running one another down long before the motor car did it. He who lives to regret has not lived in vain. A twenty-year-old Kansas colored girl stood six civil service examinations and held first place in five out of the six and stood second in the sixth one. Here is a fine example of negro puck, intelligence and education. The man who gets in late in the morning and leaves on time with his desk cleared isn't a genius so often as a papa's pet. When a man stops his newspaper it is because some blundering reporter has printed the truth about him. The success of the dining car for negroes, operated by negroes, on the Southern Pacific railway, may open up the way for better all-round accommodations for colored people in time on all the prominent railroads where poor service for them is given at present.

(Continued from Page One.) tutions, and of the latter thirty-three only fourteen were committed. Of the thirty-three girls from fourteen to sixteen, seventeen were charged with immorality. Of 147 Negro girls under sixteen passing through the courts of Greater New York during fifteen months, fifty-four were committed to institutions, eighty-eight paroled or discharged and five disposed of otherwise—that is, 36 per cent of them were committed and about 39 per cent discharged. It is stated by officers of the children's court that the number of colored girls arrested would be twice as large if officers who arrest these girls knew that there was adequate means of disposing of them. Of the eleven homes for delinquent girls visited by an investigator only two or three expressed a willingness to receive any colored girls at all, and in these homes only two or three girls. There is no home established for the expressed purpose of dealing with colored girls which will handle delinquent cases. This is true of the Y. W. C. A. the White Rose home, the Working Girls home and the New York colored mission. Girls and women under suspended sentences from the courts of general and special sessions therefore cannot get temporary lodging except at the municipal lodging house during the period that employment is being found for them. From Jan. 1, 1910, to Aug. 31, 1911, there were 362 Negro women in the Tombs. In the Raymond street jail Brooklyn about 25 per cent of the women committed are colored. Of 123 cases of Negro women in the Jefferson Market court during the year ending Dec. 31, 1910, sixty-nine were discharged, sixty-six fined, twenty-one hailed, two placed under suspended sentence, one paroled, two sent to the hospital, forty-four otherwise disposed of and only forty-seven sent to the workhouse. There is no record of any of these cases, except the suspended sentence, the parole and the hospital cases, being followed up or aided in any way after final disposition of same by the court. In one case it was found that the same person had been to the court six times charged with disorderly conduct during the year. She was fined twice in succession, sent to the workhouse, then fined again, discharged the fifth time and finally sent to the workhouse. A BUSINESS MAN IS AN INVENTOR OF PROMINENCE. (Continued from Page One.) to warrant his going into business for himself. Mr. Drew is a brother of the Rev. Simpson P. W. Drew, founder and pastor of the Cosmopolitan Temple Baptist church in Washington. N. H. Drew's success in business should serve as an inspiration to other young men in this city from the south to make good use of their time, save their money and become good citizens instead of living a shiftless life as many of them do. Mr. Drew attributes much of his success in life to the high ideals of manhood which he learned from his parents, and to promptness and honesty in all his business transactions. He is loyal to his race and has been able to help many young men and women from the south, strangers in New York, to secure good paying positions. He is interested in all matters pertaining to the welfare of the race, and his place of business is a rendezvous for many a person seeking advice or employment. Mr. Drew is also of a studious disposition and has invented several devices which are of value to housekeepers.
