Terrell presented "The Great Side of a Dark Subject" and appreciative audience institute auditorium on the eve of February 2nd. As the old, refined and brilliant woman before her audience, and later in the circle of her friends—the conversation rapid and upon the great problems, age and the questions of the heath could not feel otherwise the day and elated over the logos of national events in the month of February that connect to the names, life and character of George Washington, Father Country, Lincoln the emancipator, Frederick Douglass, last American Negro, and Mr. Terrell, the flower of American womanhood. Among the many, many excellently in the lecture, one that naturally, forcibly impressed the writer of history, was the strength the speaker placed upon of this most fascinating subject. Mrs. Terrell dwelt up to explorable fact that the value that the Negro has played in making of this country, his brave soldier, his loyalty in peon war, are ignored by Americanians. I wish in this article to emply this before-mentioned point, so often tauntingly refers to a race without a history, that itself is quite sufficient to the self respect of a people soooled in taking broad views of object. Densive knowledge of ancients will raise the Negro for himself and for his race to be reads of the enslaved peoples and enforced degradation traces—and even of the haughty Igloo Saxon—of the slow and processes by which step these races have thrown off the bondage, and have developed the foremost nations of the world will be helped toward that constructive patience so necessary in making of an individual or person. Advisedly use the expression "constructive patience." "For mere worketh little, it unaccompanied by initiative power of the usual or race to do things. Calling clubs, literary societies, personal effort can do much the line indicated, by urging of Universal History Philosophe of History, etc.; and there is a rich reward for all who examine the history of the Indians, Ethiopians and all other inhabitants of Africa, as we the long exploited history of Greeks and Romans; and when the case of the late Frederick Rose, and possibly a few other races, we are financially strong to find our own scholar in the ruins of the Nile and other portions of Africa may be some startling historical observations.

It is now nearly twelve years since Fredrick Douglas, to whom the Negro people owe more than to any other man of our race, for the part he took in securing our freedom, died in Washington. His home at Anacostia, in the suburbs of Washington, still remains, however, and an effort is now being made to preserve this house with its memories and traditions and make it a permanent memorial to Douglas and the Negro race. An association known as the Frederick Douglas Historical Association, has been formed to effect this purpose. The people of our race have a rare opportunity to honor the memory of Frederick Douglas and to show their reverence and love for the man, who during the trying times before and after the war, embodied in his own life, more than any other man of our race, the aspirations and the cause of the Negro people. I have been naked by the officers of the Memorial Association to assist in securing the comparatively small sum of money amounting to some $5,100 and interest necessary to clear off the mortgage on the property and to secure the property for all time to the association and the Negro people of the United States. We should make Cedar Hill to the Negro people what Mt. Vernon is to the white race. All of this can be accomplished if every member of the race would win a tribute, at once, a small sum of money and send it to me by Post Office order, check, or otherwise, is soon as this communication is read. I am making this appled by the authority of the Officers of the Brodrick Douglas Memorial and Historical Association, and with the approval and sympathy of Mr. Douglas immediate family. Now is the time when Mr. Douglas birthday is being celebrated and talked of in all parts of the country for the race to show his love for Douglas not only in words, but in deeds. I shall hope to receive within the next few days this money, which can be sent in amounts of 20 cents up. I such contributor will receive a receipt for whatever he sends. After the month he has been accounted to clear off the mortgage. I am sure steps will be taken to put the place in condition to serve the purpose mentioned. The following letter written to me by the Officers of the 11th Kirk Douglas Memorial and H. H. A. Assnations will make the situation clear Washington, D.C. Dec 17 1990 Dr. Booker T. Washington. There is an encumbrance of city four hundred dollars ($5,100) bearing 6 percent interest, payable semi annually against the Douglas property. This property consists of about fourteen acres in the heart of Anacostia, on a hill giving a beautiful view of the Patronse River and city for several miles. It is the opinion of experts that when the Government completes the New Bridge and the reclamation of the flats, this property will be worth at least $5,000 an acre. Its actual worth is now $1,500 an acre. It is exempt from taxes by the act of congress incorporating the Frederick Douglas Memorial and Historical Association. The Association needs at least the $5,400 to life the mortgage. In the course of time about nine acres of the property could be cut up into building lots and sold, and with the proceeds of such sale could Hill could be allowed with ample funds to meet the wants of the Douglas Memorial Association in perpetuity.

His sister Mrs Bustria Smith, of Chicago was at his bedside at the time of his death. He leaves behind his sister a brother Joseph Roper, of the cage. Mr Roper was always interested in matters that concerned his people, and no effort was put forth by them but what he gave substantial aid In Masonic lodge circles he was pron- ment and warned to have the good of his order at heart, and his absence from the regular communications will be materi- ally told. He was a Sir Knight in regu- lar and good standing, and only three watches ago last evening, was given the degree of the Chapter. He was always interested in the churches and their work. In all circles he will be missed in church, lodge and city. The Noma chapter says of him "He has gone but not forgotten There will be a glorious dawn. We shall meet to part no never On that resurrection mourn." Every life no matter how short a complishment something there is no need add it to the heavenly host but what does its work on earth among those that you he put himself on the young and grew him to be like him with the stern and the life and the trouble and with them, an only thing for them to do in the burden of life the cruel station him to be our vessel to go away to be with the burden of a ship or a much to the I can in this case, we should over cover that he who guided us the night the day will guard us through the night. The pillar of darkness will pollute our life, let us hold in mind our work with this in life has fallen from our side in a path way of life where the death may not be met at any time. The bloom of youth the strength of manhood and the glory of old age are withered by his key breath. We also realize that life is a journey, the sad is near. It is a sure the goal will soon be reached, it is a voyage the port is in sight. Time is but a narrow ithman between two extremes, it is a startling thought, our work will soon be done and we shall leave this stage, leave it forever, homes, care all that we love, all our interest forever. When we crowned Bro James Hopper with the emblem of the crown of life and laid on him the sacred accolade, we realized we had added another link to our chain of protection. This is a broken column, a young man cut down in his vigor of manhood, and this is an expression of sisterly grief. And I would say to these Marthas: There everlasting stream abound. And ever withering flower The news of the death of James Roper who for nearly twenty years past has been head porter at the Hotel Whitley, will be received with deep regret by hundreds of commercial travellers throughout the west with whom he has long been a great favorite. His cheerful manner, obliquing ways and untiring service has been a conspicuous feature of his life and has been many times commented upon by the patrons of the hotel Whitley. A colored man with a white heart. Passed with a philosopher's turn of mind he unused well charitable and honest. He was in all things the equal of the best of his race. Never during all the years he was on play by me did he shirk from hunting a helping hand in case of necessity. He never complained that the work was too hard. Instead he was the most in humour and truthful man ever employed and all that could be expected from me, a handsome magnificent a humble place and coming home at livelihood.

Nakahisa Honami, professor of law in the University of Tokyo, in a paper on the new Japanese code read at the recent international congress of arts and sciences at St. Louis gave an interesting exposition of the manner in which the Japanese have sought to conform their legal system to western ideas. The method employed has been conservative, recognizing for the time being some of the most firmly implanted of the old customs rather than inviting by an attempt to revolutionize everything a reaction which might defeat the purpose of the new code. About the year 700 a legal code, based upon Chinese moral philosophy, with the cult of ancestor worship and the feudal system, was drawn up and promulgated. This code, with some minor changes, continued in force until the beginning of the nineteenth century. A system of such antiquity naturally had to be reckoned with by the drafters of the new code, though their task was somewhat simplified by the fact that the old laws had never been published. They had been made for the edification of the judges and other officials. The decree promulgating the new preliminary code after the restoration of the emperor in 1803 followed this tradition in addressing itself to the officials of the empire. When the second code was proclaimed, however, in 1878, the emperor's subject, as well as his officials, were commanded to obey it, and it was declared that "henceforth every law upon its promulgation shall be posted in conspicuous places for the information of the people," making it evident to the Japanese that their government was to be from that time one of laws and not of men. 9 The legal condition of women was one of the most complicated problems which confronted the revisionists. Both Buddhism and feudalism had Japanese women kept in a state of dependency. The Chinese doctrine of the three obedience was strictly enforced under the old law in childhood a female was subject to her father, in youth to her husband, after her husband's death to her sons. A woman had no legal rights which her husband or sons were bound to respect In dealing with this question the drafters of the new code made a clean sweep of tradition and established legal rights for women similar to those of the most advanced European nations. Unless otherwise stated in the marriage contract, the property of a woman at the time of her marriage now remains here. She may also acquire property after marriage and hold it in her own name. There is no distinction between the legal rights of an unmarried woman and a male citizen. A woman now has the same rights as a man in the matter of divorce. In the maintenance of the "house," a survival of the old clan system, the new code has been less radical. The unit of state in Japan is still the family rather than the individual, but the powers of the head of the house now are practically limited to certain rights connected with ancestor worship and control over the marriage of subordinate members. Any member of the house may own property and on his death leave it to his heirs, where formerly it reverted to the head of the clan. It is believed that in time the "house" will be disintegrated and will join the rest of the medieval customs of Japan in the limbo of the past. A French authority on European affairs, M. Yves Guyot, predicts in the North American Review that Russia will hereafter encounter hostility in attempting to float war loans. He says that the French investors are now awake to the fact that the Franco-Russian alliance is a one-sided affair, so for as advantage goes, and that Russia has flooded that country with her bonds. Russia's weakness is so manifest, says M Guyot, that the limit of faith in her future will soon be reached in France. Russia still has an immense gold reserve to fight on, and the end of the war is not likely to come soon because of her financial straits. Yet failure of credit in the house of friends is not a plausant prospect for a nation situated in Russia is. Our neighbors on the north seem well at all given to the worship of imported greatness. Some time ago England sent over a titled major general to reorganize the Canadian militia, and the colonial greater plainly told his lord ship that he was not wanted. In the late national election the law ad ministration, which swabbed this pretentious individual and caused his recall, gained votes as a result of the to-credit. Not alone but Louis, but the whole country, may be congratulated over the success of the Louisiana Purchase position. The labors of the project and managers have been appreciated, and millions of people have added to the stock of knowledge in a way that can never be forgotten. 1 The correspondents in the far east having nothing better to do, seem to be amusing themselves by inventing new and more tentacular ways of spelling the names of Manchurian vD languages.

Corner 7th and Quincy St. months ago, was crowded with the hundreds of farmers and their wives and educators from all parts of the south and from the north as well, when the session was called to order at 10 o'clock These Negro Conferences grew out of an idea, which, sixteen years ago, called the Negro farmers of the southern states together for the purpose of conferring as to their moral and material condition From a few them, representing one state alone, the Conferences have grown so that at today's session all of the southern states were represented by farmers coming even from as far as Texas. Principal Booker T. Washington, of the Tuskegee Institute, who has presided at all these sessions in his opening address this morning, congratulated the farmers upon the success which is attending their efforts in putting into practice the teachings of the Conference. "When a race owns land and has a bank account," he said, "these permissions indicate that that race has learned to make sacrifices, that it has learned to look ahead and plan for the future." He also counseled them against ignorance, urging that they make even more sacrifices in the future than they have in the past, to educate their children. Continuing, he said. "Any black man who is worth his salt can build a decent home—can raise a respectable family—can secure all of the work that he wishes—can educate his children—can have freedom of religious worship—can secure and maintain the respect and confidence of his neighbors, of both races. But we must not be satisfied with what we have achieved in the past. We must continue to go forward. Our progress in the future must be more satisfactory than heretofore. In the first place, we must decide where we are to live; then we must decide as to whether we will take advantage of every opportunity that is open to us. It is important that all members of our race learn to save their money and cease scattering it to the winds as they have done in so many cases, buying whiskey, cheap jewelry and other gew gaws. We must not stop at that. We must learn more and more to invest our money in property, deposit it in a bank and have something always laid by for a rainy day. "More and more as a race of people, we must learn to draw the line between the moral and immoral; between the good and bad; and we must set the standard of life among our own people high, and let them understand that we feel ourselves obliged to associate with others and criminals. We must use our influence when or possible to get rid of the large idle class that hang around the street corners and does of misery in our large cities. In order to the rural conditions in the south he is While we must not fail to look conditions in the face, whether favor able on discouraging at the same time, we should not primar the bad to over shear the encouraging and the helpful. While we hear much of racial disturbances which unfortunately occur in many portions of the south and elsewhere, we are not as likely to hear much of those communities where there is racial friction. We should not overload the fact that while there is racial disturbances in one community that in ninety nine others no such conditions prevail "We are making progress as a race, tremendous progress — educationally, morally, spiritually and maternally. The Negro since he became free has acquired ownership of land equal to the combined territory of Holland and Belgium. "As we grow materially, let us seek with all our might to turn material possessions into the highest moral, mental and religious usefulness." At the close of the session and after many of the farmers had "testified" as to the progress made by the Negroes of their several communities during the past year, the following declarations were adopted: 1 We re affirm our conviction that the future of the Negro people is in the south. We therefore again urge our people to make use, before it is too late, of the opportunity that now exists to buy land. We would urge them to build homes and permanently establish themselves on the soil. We believe that ownership of the soil, by the individual who tells it is the first step in the working out of our future. In the forty years since slavery Negro farmers, according to the last Federal census, have come in G. W. Hamilton. & Hamilton. J. M. Knight nd Embalmers. Topeka, Kansas. Declarations. to possession of nearly as much land as is contained in the territory of two European states, Holland and Belgium. This proof of our ability to buy land and hold it should encourage us to do better in the future. THE CHARGE OF THE NINE HUNDRED AT PORT HUDSON. The Black Regiment. By JOHN L. BUCKENKN Twan morning and you sun Was guiding the clouds, one by one When the bugle's note, and cannon's boom, Rolled over Port Hudson Then quickly from each hull and glade The rebels sprang in arms arrayed, With cannon ball and battle blade, To fight with all their chivalry But gathering on the table below, Were Negro troops and Northern foes, Were forming fast to strike the blow, And charge upon Port Hudson Who will lead our armies where You Rebels flag and batteries are And plant our standard there? "Wel" Shouted the Black regiment "Charge, Challion charge," the bollman broke. Onward through the sulphur smoke, "Mid cannon roar, and sabre stroke, They bore the starry banner Then woke Port Hudson with a roar Such as was never heard before Tumultuous thunder shook the shore And ploughed the fields with fire But the boys in blue they faltered not, Though earth and air wore blaring hot And every inch was torn with shot On went that black regiment Charge on charge—the Negro led Until the field with blood was ret On every inch a soldier bled Beneath the blazing canopy Nine hundred marched into the jaws of death. A shouting and the battle's breath, On their return, three hundred left Was all of that black regiment Those Negroes heard the nation a call Struck for their country, one and all And wrote their names on glory's sill High - the starry banner And I have listened to the tab And mourned my father's cruel lot Have planted flowers round his grave The war will forget me not LMPORIA, KAN Mrs. Nicole Blattkim delightfully entertained the live work club on Thursday from 10 to 11.

A large crowd attended, many coming from Western University and Kansas City, Mo. An excellent program was rendered which was highly appreciated by all present. Mrs. Lena Mason preached at --- A Statement from C.K. Holliday, Candidate for Mayor There is still a chance—A FIGHTING CHANCE to make Topeka the great big city we would all see. To effect this we must have more railroads, more factories, more wholesale houses. We must attract Capital and Labor. This city will not forge ahead of its own motion. Members of the Council and the Commercial Club know only too well what a terrific battle has been waged during the last three years, not only to get new things for Topeka, but to retain what we already have. Matters are easing up a trifle for Topeka despite the overshadowing and constantly menacing influence of Kansas City. If we can only keep Topeka headed right, with a full head of steam on, we will not only have a population of 75,000 in 1911, but we will have a population 100,000. It has been stated by friends of the opposition that I am a man of extravagant ideas. The same charge was made against my honored father, Cyrus K. Holliday, who was thrice elected mayor of Topeka, when he secured the location of the State Capital for Topeka; when he went East dorms of times and promoted and financed the Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe R. R., the general offices and shops of which he brought to Topeka and which Company now spends $100,000 monthly in this City. It being a man of extravagant ideas means following in the footsteps of my father, going after big things for your city and getting them, such as the present City Railway, Natural Gas, the Underground Expansion of the Telephone Company, the Big Repair Shops of the Santa Fe, the Topeka and Council Grove Railroad, Factories, etc., then in as modest way as possible I plead guilty to the charge. On the other hand no act of my administration will increase the tax levy of Topeka one cent. Every preceding administration seems to have spent all the money raised by the twelve mills levy, the limit the law allows for city government purposes. If I succeed in saving any of this money to the tax payer, it will be to my credit. If nominated and elected it will be my aim and ambition to do everything within my power for the uphifting and upbuilding of Topeka along all lines of commercial and industrial activity and to give to Topeka a clean, economical administration. All three of the candidates for the Republican nomination for Mayor being for law enforcement, it is for the sovereign voters of Topka to say whom they want to act as guilda and pilot for all the interest of the City during the next two years. The situation is still serious. We have no natural resources but a "high sky" and we are upon the apex of a triangle of the Santa Fe road, the base of which is a line drawn between the towns of Holliday and Emporia and between which two towns the Santa Fe has a double track. We have lost all of our through Santa Fe freights over this double track, and among other things, we are now trying to save the passenger service. There is something for the property owners and business men to think about in the coming campaign. RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED. C. K. HOLLIDAY Top:ka,U. S. A.

An excellent program is prepared and a large crowd is expected to attend THE BUSINESS LEAGUE. in surprising to find the number of places in which there does not exist a local business league. On inquiry I find the reason invariably given for this is, that there is not enough business enterprise in the particular town that happens to be in question. There are, in every town, five or more representative persons who feel the need of such an organization, and who are willing to undertake an effort in this direction. These people should make a start at once toward effecting the organization of a business league. If you are engaged in a "legitimate business", or any "other honorable calling", or if you believe in "stimulating and giving support" to such enterprises", you are eligible to membership. You are also a proper person to organize a league if none exists in your town. Your accomplishments in this direction will be a much better proof of your sincerity than any amount of talking and criticizing of the race because it does not make the rapid advancement you think it should make. In every town a few should get together and organize at once, then take out a charter in the National Negro Business League. A charter costs $5.00. If you have no organization and want one, write to Mr. Fred R. Moore, Organizer of the National Negro Business League at 4 Cedar St. New York City, N. Y., He will put you on the right track. It is high time that the people all over the state begin concentrating their activities with the aim of putting in and getting out of the coming meeting of the National New Business League all that is possible. It can best be done by seeing that your local league is kept continually busy doing effective work; Republican Candidate for Mayor next. by each local league sending an active delegate to the State League in Topeka, and next, by the entire state turning out next August to the Big Annual Convention of the National Negro Business League, on August 14, 15 and 16, in this city.

This irritation produces pain in the head, and the turbulent nerve current sent to the stomach causes nausea, vomiting. This is sick headache, and is dangerous, as frequent and prolonged attacks weaken the brain, resulting in loss of memory, inflammation, epilepsy, fits, dizziness, etc. Allay this stormy, irritated, aching condition by taking Dr. Mites' Anti-Pain Pills.

"There is a sentimental Tommy in almost every school," said Michael King of Lewiston as he leaned over the counter of his cafe on Main street and cut a luscious pumpkin pie. "There was one in our school when I was a boy. He, was Tommy Franziek, and he was a mighty smart little fellow, but he never had his lessons. He knew where every bird nested, where the May flowers grew the thickest and where the high top sweetings fell first; but, bless you, he couldn't remember his lessons. He was critical in many matters too. He knew all that was passing in the politics of the state and nation, but he was off in his history lesson. One day he came in late and couldn't keep his thoughts on his book. On his way to school he had seen a big mud turtle by the side of the track, and he had to put a big rock on him to hold him till night, and his anxiety lost the turtle should get away blinded his eyes. He hoped that somehow the teacher would pass him over. He listened to the oth or children reciting, with a big mud turtle crawling away before his eyes with a rock on his back, but finally the teacher's eyes fell on him. "Tommy Frazier, what battle was Lord Nelson killed in?" "Tommy was in despair, but he found a way." "Did you say Lord Nelson? he asked cautiously." "Yes, certully." "Well," said Tommy as the light of inspiration broke over him—"well, I specks it must have been his last." A Lesson From Files. It was in a country school, and I was hearing my little second reader class. The lesson that day was a story about files, their curious ways and habits. Among other things the story said that files always kept their faces clean and then went on to tell how they rubbed their feet over their heads, as could often be seen by watching them. The last thing in the lesson was the question, "What lessons can boys and girls learn from the files?" I asked the children to answer the question. Only one small boy ventured an answer, and that was, "To wash our faces with our fe- Christian Register. Easy For an Expert.

Jack Johnson, As we have heard very many passing their ideas, end many very hotly contested argumente asto whether Jack should be com- pelled to give up entirely all of his innocent aport or not, our idea of it is—that is his vocation, protess on or trade, as some would call it, and eno more harm in that kind of a profession than in apy othor, en long anit baadled in the right way. Now, we have made it a practice to watch Jack in his bouts heretofore, aud it is strictly a matter of business with him, and we think it ie as he 6158, only a matter of making a living tor himself and family, The Bible says that every man must live by the sweat of hie own brow, but it does not specify any certain way or line of business aa to how it ahould be done. It is evi- dently known that there are poople withaut number who claim to be good and moral Christians who commit crimes a great doal more serious than is ever committed in business of thiskind. But the whole thing in a nutshell is that it is kept secrat while the other is made public. We believe in the Christian rolig- jon, but in a matter hke this, we would consider it vory foolish for a man to give up his vocation, ST. JOHN A. M, E. CHURCH. The quarterly meeting at Bt.
