(From Our Own Correspondent.) From recent dispatches from Russia it is stated that a project is being elaborated by the Russian government for arresting the indus of Cocans and Chinese into the Russian Far Eastern possessions. A small annual limit of immigration will be fixed. It seems as though Russia has a fear of the "Yellow Peril" and from her past experience with the "Yellow Peril" we can hardly blame her. Mrs L. Azthia Hickley, the noted singer of America, makes her appearance at Kensington Hall, London, Eng. on Feb. 4, at the head of a list of English and foreign artists who are appearing at a grand benefit concert for the Messinian earthquake victims. Madam Hickley has travelled extensively in America and is without doubt one of the most singers our race has ever produced. Her home was for some years in Denver, Colorado, where she graduated from the College of Music of the University of Denver. News comes by way of Paris that King Monchik is dying. All authority is now in the hands of the Empress and the monks. Emperor Monchik of Abysinia is without doubt the best known ruler of a negro country. His subjects number several million As a medical text, the postmortem examination of the body of M. Steinholz, the murdered artist in Paris, after he had been dead eight months is to be centrally overshadowed by a medical inquiry which is just about to be opened; an inquiry into the mental and physical state of Napoleon at the battle of Waterloo. It has long been the opinion in France that at the time of the battle of Waterloo Napoleon was suffering from some secret and incomprehensible illness. Prof. Landowzy, a well known authority on Mental Physiology, is at the head of the inquiry. Among Many Americans visiting Europe at this time are Mrs. Hunton of Atlanta, Ga., wife of the General Secretary of the N. M. C. A. and Hon. and Mrs. John P. Green of Cleveland, Ohio, Mr. Green was U. S. Stamp Agent under Roosevelt. On Jan. 27th the Emperor of Germany celebrated his 41st birthday. This morning the Foreign Secretary, Herr von Schoen informed the Budget Committee that there was no truth in the report that Germany and the United States intended to guarantee Liberia against British land hunger. Nothing was known to the Foreign Office he said, as to British design against Liberia. On the contrary, England's declared intention had always been not to extend his West African possessions at the cost of Liberia. It was further antitum that Germany had offered Liberia a loan of 250,000, on condition that the Black Republic would accept no money from Great Britain. The truth was that Germany had approached Germany with loan proposals, meeting with no one in agreement, had turned to England. News has just been received from Cape Town, South Africa, telling of the same arrival there at Bishop of Moleh Johnson. His Johnson is one of the new M. P. Church Bishops and has been sent to Action in charge of the Mission work of that denomination. The Bishops spent two weeks in London on his way to America. Last Monday marked the passage of a year since Europe was shocked and sidelined by the news of the assassination of Don Carlos and his oldest son. The impression made by the tragic event is still vivid in the minds of most of us and the culture of the young king Manuel has been followed with a very real sympathy in Europe during the period you lost a youth at such a moment, and with so heavy a heart to mount the steps of the throne of Portugal was an ordinal demanding the highest qualities of character. Those the young king has displayed, though the storm has told upon his health, and he has won the popularity among his subjects which he deerves. A problem will be been left by an old inhabitant of Wootton, a suburb of London. He willled that on every anniversary day of his death posts shillings 200 should be paid out of his estate to each boy who would lay his hand on the deceased's tombsite and pledge from him any he lands. Praise the commandments and the Good, because a charter of the past to the countryside One of the most successful composers of popular songs in England is Miss Mildridge, the distinguished singer who made London his home for many years' death. Miss Mildridge besides being a gifted composer is also one of England's most contralto, having studied for sometime with Janny Lind, the great "Ewedish Nightingale." In London "Postmasters may arrange for the conduct of a person to an address by express messenger." No runs an interesting instruction in the Post Office Guide. Although the practice has been in vogue for some little time, it is surprising how few people know that a man can post himself, his wife, on his baby, whenever he feels so inclined. A novel application of this human postal service is in the case of the deaf, an interesting example of which has just been brought to notice. A deaf young lady was invited as a bridesmaid to a friend's wedding. She lives in one of the southern suburbs, and the ceremony was to take place at a church on the opposite side of London. On the morning of the wedding the city was enveloped in a particularly dense fog, and the bridesmaid's mother strongly recommended her daughter to stay at home and not run the risk of trying to find her way through a district with which she was wholly unaware. Suddenly, however, the moth or remember that this was a case where the intervention of the Post Office would be exceptionally useful, and with out further delay the prospective bridesmaid was "posted." Chaproned by her messenger, she reached the residence of the bride just in time for the ceremony. A very interesting letter has appeared in the "London Weekly Times" written on the American Negro by Sir Harry Johnston, who has been in America for some months. It is a fairly written at tide by an unbiased Englishman and shows us to the Europe in world in our best light. An extract from his letter is as follows: "The Negro is destined to be nothing but a sheer or wood and a drawer of water" is the patron cry that each untravelled, ignorant white politician utter onationally and in the press. Fortunately there are many thousand sane, educated, fat seeing white men and women who know better. And all the time this stale nonsense is being repeated there are negro doctors, electricians, botanists, agronomists, musicians, poets, preachers, teachers, lawyers, nurses and mechanics at work who give the lie to this wormout expression." For some years so Harry Johnson has been interested in the development of Liberia, the Negro Republic in Africa. OLD WORLD NEWS. A telegram from Konakayi through West Africa states that the Lebanese customs garrison "Lark" has landed on a German border. The "Lark" is a vessel of 700 tons and was purchased last year from land both sides by the Lebanese government. It was sent out in September of last year to put a stop to constantly recurring breaches of the custom regulations and to prevent the entrance of ships into ports of the Lebanese Republic not open to the trade of the world. The problem, being investigated by the German government through it, is not probable that any incidents will result from the invasion. It will be remembered that Lebanon is the Republic in Africa territorial and governed by American colonial men and that quite recently they have endeavored to insist the protection of America to prevent encroachment on the part of a several European nations. Through the influence of a Cinnamint painting a quantity of abstraction occurred in the Village Drop Museum in Johannesburg (Africa) resulting in the death or sex and injury of nine No. 2000 chickens. One of the most interesting items on the bill at the Palace Theater London a few weeks ago was that of Cathleen and Baker two young coloured men from America. They presented a defined act of playing and singing their own positions and were praised by the leading critics for their excellent work. Mr Cathleen is a native of St. Paul and Mr Baker of Johannesburg. After a lapse of over three years the ambulance appeared again in Britain on last Monday when four criminals met a well deserved fate in the little town of Bristol near Puddle Close. Wood has just been received that Mr Robert Humming, a young colored man of Boston who is studying at in Paris, has won several prizes for his very fine portrait painting. Last Saturday night Mr. Colledge Taylor's new composition entitled 'Banion' won for shows and bottoms solo was performed for the first time in London, the composer conducting 'The and once taxed the setting capacity of the large hall and the performance was re-ceived with great enthusiasm of applause, a long much to the already fine reputation of the Anglo-Saxon composer It is reported on good authority that the baker of Germany has been sent and visited through his great extravagant pulled to sell at least one of his Amuse games although this monarch enjoys a very income at splendour. At his estate in Cothen where he spends less than a month each year he keeps many of vans and touring automobiles. As his own magazine of various kinds have been going on for twenty years it is little wonder that some kind of check has been put on the expenditures of this important monarch.

Further it us all see to it that we make these institutions what we desire they should be. Quindaro Makes a Hit! From the Topeka Daily Journal The meeting of the senate last night was more in the nature of an entertainment than a legislative session. The session was preceded by a musical program rendered by the young women and young men of the musical department of Western University, a colored institution located at Qundary, Kau. There were a large number of visitors in the senate chamber during the recital and the selection of the singers were heartily applained. At the close of the concert President Fitzgerald said: The Western University from which those young people have come, have no funds and no friends to hire a special train to take the members of the legislature to their school so these representatives have come to the legislature." President Fitzgerald then introduced President W. T. Vernon, of the school, who told of the work of the school and declared that Kansas stands for a square deal for every man, no matter what his color or race. The governor has recommended a liberal appropriation for our school, and we believe you desire to help us and see us prosper. Mr. Vernon then presented to President Fitzgerald a gavel which had been made by the male students at Quindaro with tools purchased with state appropriations. President Fitzgerald mentioned that he was a member of the house when the first appropriation for the Westrn University was made. He spoke of the advancement that has been made by the colored man and declared that the future presiding officers of the senate would weild the gavel presented in the interests of the colored citizens of the state as well as of the white and in the interests of equality and justice to all. Senator Price was recognized by the chair and said: "These young people are an excellent example of the race for whom Abraham Lincoln did so much. I deem these exercises a fitting prelude to the celebration of Lincoln's birthday in which we will all participate tomorrow. I move that the senate extend a vote of thanks to these young people for their music and the enjoyment they have afforded us." The motion was carried by a rising vote 11H 95H 49 H. Senator Lindy also extended an invitation to the colored students to go on the visit to the ete university at Lawrence. The horse was working on the weights not measured but when a clock came and it adjourned to hear the concert by the pupils of the Quindaro college. W. T. Vernon, president of the college, and the members of the faculty were received by Speaker Dolley and given a place on the platform in front of the speaker's desk. The choral society of the college, composed of a dozen mixed voices, occupied the space to the right of the speaker's desk and sang for the delighted members and an audience of visitors that thronged representative ball. Most Negroes have fine voices, but those were of the best and they had been trained with one and judgment. They sang selections from opera, camp meeting songs and a couple of Stephen C. Foster's matchless melodies of the old days of the south. It was a great treat. The band came next and this organization showed the result of training by a talented musician. This band of Negro boys did not merely play pieces, it was a concert that it gave the members of the house yesterday. At the close of the program there were calls for Vernon and the talented president of Quindaro responded with a short address. There are few better public speakers in the west than this Negro and his common sense and good judgment have done wonders for his race in this state. At the close of speech yesterday he presented to Speaker Dolley a handsome gavel which had been turned by the students of Quindaro in their carpenter shop for the speaker. Mr. Dolley responded by a short talk in which he paid tribute to the work done at Quindaro and promised his support and influence for as large an appropriation for that institution as the state could afford to give The Quindaro people and students made a hit with the house. Before coming up to the house they gave a concert in the governor's office for the benefit of the man from Lawrence. COFFEYTILLE KAN8. Presiding Llder King held his second quarterly meeting on Sunday which was a success in every way. Despite the fact that the weather was the most unfavorable that we have had any Sunday during the winter, the attendance was large. Three services were held during the day. Elder King preached three able sermons which were a rare spiritual teast of good things. Many have said the meeting would be long remembered as the best ever known in the history of the church. The presiding elder made a lasting impression on the people of Coffeyville and they love him and are glad to have him with them Rev. A, H. Brooks, pastor of the A. M. E church, is engaged in a revival meeting and was proud to save his presiding elder, H. W King, with him last week. The Lord has wonderfully blessed the people of the town in this effort and spiritual interest is at its height. Eleven souls have been added to the church during the past week and seven are on the anxious seat. It is not known when the meeting will close. The youngest member of the Miller Bros. Pantatorium, Co. is at present seriously ill. Last Wednesday morning, his brother, Edgar Miller on coming to the shop to assume business for the day, found him in bed in an unconscious condition. A physician was immediately called in who at once called two more physicians for consultation. The case was pronounced cerebro-hemorrage. It is thought he will recover. Evangelist S J Friend is in Cherryvale assisting Rev Warren in a revival meeting Last Friday afternoon Mrs. M. E. Woods and Mrs Lena Hines were out driving when suddenly the horse and harness left the buggy. The horse was stopped by a man who was passing at the time Mrs Woods jumped from the buggy, but neither lady was injured. It was rumored later that the ladies hitched up, and this accounts for the accident Rev & H. Brooks and Elder King will leave Tuesday morning or la EDWARDSVILLE NOTES Mr Z on A M E church has just closed ten days' revival with great success. Rev C. C. Caltwell, our great wife evangelist, has done wonderful work for us, having by the will of the Lord gained 75 happily converted souls during his stay here and at Bonner springs. He leaves tomorrow for Qundao. Miss Comodore has just returned from Solah to pay the last respects to her deceased father. He lived to a ripe old age and we regret his longe. As he made his peace with God near the end of his 5 years we hope to meet him again. He leaves a wife, one daughter and two sons that preach the gospel, to mourn his leann. Miss Bettie Comodore is on the sick list. Mrs Fanny Davis is confined to her room with throat trouble. The Literary will give a concert on the 27th.

Now we ladies on the farm can make some of our own pln money. I think it very nice if we can be a little independent and pay some of our own expenses and by good management we can as well as not. We can waste our time and strength and opportunities by always meaning to do something; we must start while we are young, make up our minds to what we are going to do and begin. To own a farm in the country with good stock and a big poultry yard makes one feel a little independent. We ladies can make money by raising poultry with good results. With us egg money and butter money is getting more plentiful every year and I suppose this is the case with most of the farmer ladies getting out in the fresh air makes us happy and healthy with a sunny disposition. Our experience has proved that it pays to keep just as much poultry as you can take proper care of. There is no work on the farm that brings in more money in proportion to the capital invested. On the average farm chicken feed consists mainly of what is wasted from feeding other stock. There is money to be made in keeping poultry. Private city customers pay highest market price for poultry products. Get stocked up with good laying hens and you will always have money coming in. There is no better time in the year to increase than now and it is up to us to reap the harvest. We have on hand now 250 hens and we see they have sharp grit and give churn and oyster shell two or three times a week. Every farmer should post a notice on the hen house reading "more hundred and thirty eggs a day or quit the business." Now it is easier to earn money than it is to keep money. Permit me to say we must learn the plan of saving thousands of men and women have spent it all and are not worth one cent more at the end of the year than at the commencement, but if we want to accomplish anything we must learn to be saving. I was taught at home no matter how small your income was to always have some aside for a runny day. And another thing I want to spark of is why so many town people will speak light of the country boy or girl. We country people are just as intelligent as town people and I thought they were not I would move to town where I could associate with my equals socially, mentally and every other way. Now we girls and boys have just as much to do with the making on the home. We girls must help to hire the burden of the house and care for mothers and the boys must be companions to an help the father with the responsibilities of keeping the home. We all must do our share toward making a happy atmosphere. Quadro, Kans., Jan. 17, 1907 Mr. Chubb. Editor of Topka Plainletter. Sir: Through the columns of your paper I desire to say a few words in behalf of the white man and races in general in the Kansas City Star or Sunday, January 17, mention was made of the possibility of Luk Johnson's "drawing the color line." It called attention to the fact that there was an angle that they (the whites) were not considering Now I grant that it is Mr Johnson's right and privilege to draw the color line. He can draw just as marked one as any other man or race. But I want to protest against his doing anything of the kind. It is a fact that we now represent the best race in the world and Mr Johnson has the honor of being the spartan representative It is a good thing to be the best man in the world and the best man in the world. But it would be exceedingly cruel just because the white man happens to be white to draw the color line on him the cannot possibly help himself. He was born that way. It is an accidental condition and the man should be held to responsible conditions. I do not believe that God would be pleased with Mr. Johnson would be able to draw the color line on a man because he happens to be what I then, too, drawing the color line is no obstacle of ability. Let skill, get determination thought into it. Let that be the only rule. If the thin man can come with skill and take the championship from you, Mr. Johnson, thank him for his ability and bid him God speed. If an Indian should prove himself the better man, congratulate him. But never be so small, so narrow, so lightened, or so unkind as to eliminate a man be cause of a condition over which he has absolutely no control. The white man has been the master of the situation for centuries and now because he has lost would you be so cruel as to raise a grand . . . clause or a color qualification and discourage him the more. It is bad enough to be detracted. Will you take away hope? Do you not realize that the leopard cannot change his spots? I think it a cruel thought indeed. The white man has many good qualities, many potentialities. And we as a race as well as he as an individual would lose much should we draw the color line on him. Look at the wonderful achievements to his credit throughout historic times. And as far as I can see, and by the way I have made a careful study of science, anthropology and allied sciences, as for as I can observe the white man is good for several centuries of production labor along all the lines that he has already made commonable progress and hides so well toward discovering many undiscovered discoveries. If we do not be so cruel is to restrict him because of his color I speak and plead now because if Mr. Johnson should decide to let the thought of "drawing the color line" develop into realization there is no gain saying that he would be establishing a proceed on which I've wildly would be followed by other avenues of human endeavor and in a short time the white man, would be reduced, not because of a lack of musc ability, remember, to "drawers of water and hewers of wood." I protest that the thought is exceedingly cruel and the realization would be more so. No! No! A thousand times. 'Let the strong best the minima of the weak.' Mr. Gamson Lovejoy, Sumner and Mrs. Stowe plead for us when we were the worker and down. I plead now for the white man. Do not press down upon the brow of a dark, intelligence and wonderful pro- babilities a crown adorned with the "coal or line." Do not quify a rose's aspirations on a cross of accidental conditions.

Lodges will take warning that in the future when lodges use their funds otherwise than provided by law they will be severely dealt with. We need five hundred (500) members this term and not less than one-half dozen lodges. Therefore a general dispensation to all lodges in the Jurisdiction is hereby granted for sixty (60) days for the reception of new members, rect to me. Lodges are expected to take advantage of this dispensation for the increase of their membership. Lodges should send all matters which arise in the lodge for settlement to the deputy and not to the Grand Chancellor. Officers occupying stations requiring bonds must furnish same within thirty (30) days or their office will be declared vacant and others appointed to fill them. I shall expect each officer and member of the Order to do his duty, no matter what his station may be. We must have good, efficient work during this year. Lodges must pay more attention to the ritualistic work, as they will be held responsible for the proper conferring of the Ranks. Officers must memorize the ritual, and incompetence in this respect will be sufficient cause for removal. Defect or lack of paraphernalla should be reported to the deputy at once. I earnestly desire that every lodge carry its officers' card in our official organ.
