KEALING AND WESTERN UNIVERSITY! Manager Griffin Visits the Center of Negro Education and Takes a Few Notes. A Great Man Has Built an Institution of Which all Kansas Should Feel Proud---Dr. Kealing Has Doubled the School's Capacity. We hope that in the future the Doctor will not be handicapped by the distaste of committing politicians. He has the idea and ability to make the school much better, and it should be divorced from politics. Surround Dr. Kealing with a corps of good, honest workers (not bosses and dictators) and Western University will Dr. H. T. Kealing, president of West University, Quindaro, Kansas, was born in Austin, Texas in 1859 and educated in the public schools of Texas; Straight University, New Orleans, La.; Tabor College, Tabor, Iowa. Began teaching in the public school of Texas after graduation in 1881. Elected principal of Paul Quinn College, Waco, Texas, leaving them to accept assistant principal's place at Prairie View State Normal School of Texas, during which time he contributed educational articles to the New England Journal of Education and other professional publications. He made a speech before the National Teacher's Educational association, in Topka, which was published in the proceedings and attracted much attention. He has from time to time contributed to the Century Magazine, as well as to other leading periodicals of this country. He was afterward called to be supervisor of the colored schools of Austin, Texas, the first position of that land for a colored man in the South In the midst of growing success he was elected president of Paul Quinn College, Waco, Texas, where he had previously taught. Reminding there for four fruitful years, he was then elected editor of the A M. H. Quarterly Review at General Conference in Washington, Norfolk, Carolina, which position he held continuously for sixteen years, being re-elected every four years by acclamation. During most of this time his headquarters were in Philadelphia, Pa. He was sent as delegate of his church to the Leumeneal Conference, in London, England, in 1901, and was made the spokesman of his delegation. In 1910 he was called to the presidency of Western University, where he now is. When he took charge there were seventeen teachers on the faculty and seven trades in the industrial department. He went before the last legislature and made a plea for an increase in appropriation and that body unanimously voted Western University one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000,000.) Today, there are 30 teachers, and over twenty trades are being taught, while new buildings, machinery and landscaping improvements are being supplied for the growing work. Dr. Kealing has written three on four books, namely; "Church Problems," "How to Lave Longer," and "Fortune-Telling in History." He has been on the lecture platform for many years and was the only representative of his race who spoke at the World's Peace Congress in Chicago three years ago. At that time his associates, on the program, Rabbi Hirsch, and President David Starr Jordan, of Iceland Stanford University, were photographed with him and appeared in the Chicago American next morning. Dr. Kealing is an enthusiastic advocate of the education that enables men to do things as well as know things. He has for years been a close personal friend and a strong follower of the Booker T. Washington idea; not for Negroes only, but for all whom circumstances or individual capacity debar from professional hanning. Dr. Kealing has been elected as Bishon Abraham Giant's successor on the James Fund Board, of which President Taft, Walter H. Page, Jas. H. Dillard, Booker T. Washington and H. B. Dissell are members. This board administers over $2,000,000.00 for the education of Negroes, especially in the rural districts. Dr. Kealing's public and domestic life has been one grand dream of joy and a source of much happiness, having early in life taken unto himself a helpmend. Her sweet, childlike disposition and keen foresight have played an important toll in bringing about success in many of his undertakings. Mrs. Kealing is a woman of exceptional qualifications; educated, cultured, and refined. Your bright happy children add to the sunshine and happiness of their home—three daughters and a son. They every move breathes culture, education and refinement, and they lend much to the side of life, and their fine character and gentle manner are a source of inspiration to the rising youth who may see or come in contact with them. While the Doctor and Mrs. Keating are wrapped up in the splendid work mapped out by him, they are devoted to their home and children, where love, happiness and peace always [Portrait of a man with a bald head and a mustache, wearing a suit and a bow tie.

We hope that in the future the Doctor will not be handicapped by the dictates of convict politicians. He has the idea and ability to make the school much better, and it should be divorced from politics. Surround Dr. healing with a corps of good, honest workers (not bosses and dictators) and Western University will outstrip her commandable strides in the past. KANSAS GIRL MAKES GOOD IN MUSIC WORLD. Miss Irva Lelia French, Talented Daughter of Prof. Shelton French, Vice-President of W. U. Is a Successful Instructor. Miss Irva Lelia French graduated from the normal and musical department of Western University, Quindaro, with the class of 1910. Miss French displayed rare ability in music, and being thus encouraged, she entered Howard University, at Washington, D. C., where she graduated from the teachers college with the class of 1912. She is now one of the music teachers at Western University, where she is giving excellent satisfaction. Miss French comes from one of the leading and most highly respected families in the West. She is highly accomplished, and her rare ability and sweet disposition has won her a warm place in the hearts of people throughout the country. The Plaindealer feels particularly proud of Miss French and we predict a lofty place for her in the music world. THE WRIGHT PUBLIC SCHOOLS Professor West, the Great Educator, is the Principal of Toussant L'Overture School. Prof. West, principal of Toussant L'Overture school of Wichita, has one of the finest buildings in the state. This building cost $10,000. Wichita has adopted the separate school system for the whites and blacks, and found it a great success. They call this the Toussant L'Overture school and it is of this school that Prof. West is principal. Prof. West was born in Michigan, and came to Kansas about twenty-five years ago. He attended the schools of Arkansas City, Kansas, and was the first colored graduate of the high school of that city. After his graduation there he attended the Kansas State University, and graduated there with the degree of LL. B. He was principal of Lincoln school in Lawrence for fifteen years, resigning to accept a like position at Lincoln school at Laavenworth. Kas he remained there four years, and accepted the principalship of the Wichita colored school. Toussan L'Overture school building has an auditorium with a balcony which seats six hundred persons easy- TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING DECEMBER 13, 1912. THE HOTEL TOUSSANT COVERTURE SCHOOL WICHITA, KANSAS. ily. It recently the building was dedicated. The pupils of the various schools had the balcony and the body of the hall was filled with adults. There were seven hundred persons in the hall and as many more on the outside who could not gain admission. The exercises consisted of vocal and instrumental music. The decorations and the speaking were meritorious, as they could have been in the High school building. From invocation to benediction everything was in excellent taste. The orator of the evening made an address which has never been equaled in educational effort. The members of the Board of Education represented were Mr. Louis Gerties, president of the Wichita board; Mr. Bruce Griffin, Mr. C. B. Howard, Mr. H. P. Mitten, Mr. H. W. Colher, Mr. J. W. Gibson, Supt. Mayberry, Mr. L. M. WICHITA RAILROAD AND LIGHT COMPANY. Mr. Albert Patton, the Coming Railroad Magnate of the West. We are frequent visitors to the city of Wichita on business missions connected with The Plaindale and city naturally as newspaper men we are close observers of all things of material interest and among other pleasing observations recently are those relative to the great improvement in the street railway of that place since Mr. Patton became the manager of it. He has been the manager of that line but a comparative short time, yet the improvement in the road bed, the cars, the personal bearing and attitude of the employees and the service in general has been marvelous. No more are there any flat wheels or low or high joints, no gently or insulting conductors. Cars leave the starting pints at regular intervals and on time and arrive on time. The time card has been changed, the cars on all lines running at more frequent intervals than before and are giving universal satisfaction to the people of Wichita. Mr. Patton is a son of Mr. Albert Patton, the old time street railway man who was the superintendent of the Topeka line for so many years and inducts his father's great ability. He is by heritage and training a great railway man, yet so young a man he can hardly be said to be in the prime of life. Scarcely any where can there be found one so young who Allen, principal of the High school, besides Principal West of L'Overture school, other colored principals, and Rev. E. T. Fishback and Rev. J. W. Williams, who opened and closed the exercises with appropriate prayer. The decorations, in excellent taste, consisted of palms and ferns. The pupils surprised those present in an agreeable manner by giving the class yells, the first being the High school girls when they saw Prof. Allen, and then the L'Overture girls when they saw Prof. West, and when Dr. Kealing was introduced an outburst from the gallery showed that he was to be remembered by the school yell. Many of the teachers of the white schools were present in the audience with the wives of the members of the Board of Education. It is gratifying to know that while the school board has taken a step has the honor and responsibility of being the superintendent of one line such as we have in Topeka and Wichita, to say nothing of being the manager of both of them. The Topeka line as well as the line at Wichita, is in fine shape—smooth trucks, good quick service, warm cars in the winter time, accommodating and careful employees and under the personal supervision of Mr. Patton We have investigated this subject and find that the service in Topkita and Wichita is now the best of any city of even twice the population. Under the management of Mr. Patton there will be no deterioration or going backward in the condition of road bed, track, equipment or service, but the others and patrons can rely on the same standard being maintained and bettered from time to time as they find possible, advisable and to the interest of the public. THE MISSOURI AND KANSAS TALKPHONE COMPANY. This company now has fifteen thou- lldale acres in Shawnee County It is the most and largest such area in the world and one of the most modern in the state telephone ex- ception which can be found any where they employ 150 telephone girls at which board constantly, besides a large and growing office and field force. They have a club room for their employee, where they may enjoy themselves at all times, when not actively engaged with their duties. Mr. Macey is the manager. He is a thorough telephone man, has had many years of experience in that business. The management of this company believes in fair treatment of their employees as well as the public and spares no effort to make things as present for all as possible. The operators at this exchange are the most prompt and concise of any of those we have experienced. We travel throughout the state and in Oklahoma and Missouri and bring frequent users of the telephone in those places as well as Topocha and competent judges on the subject. We are glad to testify to the prompt or are required here by the operators of the Topocha Exchange and to the business like methods, and the conditions and fast treatment of all by the management and all connected with this company other as employees or employees. This is a rapidly growing city, and the demands on the phone company are many and great and it is greatly to the credit of the management and employees that such excellent service is at all times. The growth of the city make the number of phones increase and calls for the constant extension of lines and additions to equipment. This company represents many thousand dollars invested, much of it by non-croved people not residing in Topeka. These people should be encouraged, praised for the confidence already shown in Topeka and encouraged to increase their investments. Investors can not be induced to place their money with hostile people or in hostile communities, nor do men of affairs locate where all the modern conveniences and business necessities such as the telephone and other public utilities are not in successful operation. A visitor to the city or one contemplating a visit with the view of locating and engaging in backward in installing separate schools, they were thoughtful and considerate enough to have erected such a fine home, second to none in the state for either white or black. The building being modern throughout in all of its appointments, and designed according to the most up-to-date plans for convenience, comfort and healthfulness. It is likewise fitting, and reflects the good judgment of the Board of Education that they selected to preside as principal principal of this fine educational institution one so well bred, so classically educated, one with so much tactfulness, so much natural ability, so many years of experience in educational work and in the affairs of life. Prof. West. With this fine gentleman and great educator at the head of L'Overture the separate school system of Wichita is sure to be a grand success. one line of business investigates the things, assists what they have in this line, what the attitude of the people and the officials is toward institutions of this character, in fact, if the people are progressive and modern and their officers fan and liberal or if they are prejudiced, unfaithful and filled with old forgiveness. In making these investigations they naturally go to any who have invested or tried to invest to ascertain what their treatment at the hands of the people and officials has been, and they are usually governed in making then decision by what these people tell them. Many a city has lost by then unfam attitude. Many a manufacturing plant, such as give emplays to thousands, expend thousands and millions of dollars has been turned away in certain localities by the hostile attitude and unfam treatment of the people, whereas had the company in question located in such a place, values of real estate would have been passed and the general status of the place advanced Institutions of this character then when already located should be given every encouragement to charge them plant, send their lines, increase their investments of money and then number of employees, and consequently do a large part to add to the volume of money constantly in circulation. What we want of this thing called money is to have as much of it floating among from person to person not housed away in some Bank Safety Deposit box where it does no one not even the one to whom it belongs, my particular good. I'm in time to take it is necessary for institutions of this kind, not only to make improvements and extensions, but to go before legal statutes, councils, boards of commissioners, and the like, for permissive ordinances and we believe that when these requests are made, in good faith, and when the carrying out of the things for which permission is asked means more money, Add a permanent increased money out lay in our community in addition to the expen-dures for improvement and extensions that the requests should be granted. We should not petitionily tell these people what they can do final that so very little they want do but throw open the doors and bad them come in and ask them what they want; tell them to take the city. We do not know that this phone company has in mind at the time any additional request for rights of way, extensions or modification of ordinances or any ones, but, if they have or when they have we hope then request will be granted and the columns of this paper will be open to them. We will loyalty and as fortunately as possible champion their rights and advocate a liberal policy toward them. The Mayor and Commissioners of Topka did a wise thing when they consented to the consolidation of the two phone systems, the Bell and the Independent, the former under the management of the Missouri and Kansas Tolphne Company taking over the latter. Two phones ringing on a subscriber's desk in his office, place of business or in the home is a nuisance; the expense of two or more lines of phones is burdensome. Under the present system since the consolidation the service of our phones in Topeka is far more satisfactory, the expense much less and in all respects Price $1.50 Per Year. People who must have or want a phone are pleased to know they can now teach any other person who has one without it being necessary for them to have two or more phones. The people of Kansas City, Missouri, will display good business judgment if they grant a consolidation, as we are sure, judging from our experience and bettered condition of the service since the consolidation that the phone system if the ideal service and the one which should be adopted by everyone. We predict that soon they will be consolidated in Kansas City and we know that when once they are, the people will not consent to return to the old way of two or three lines of phones. The time was when the telephone was a luxury, now it is a business city. SHOP EARLY! Topeka Merchants Have Plenty at Bargain Prices. With Christmas less than two weeks away, accompanied by cold weather, Christmas shopping season for 1912 is here, and on in full blast. In some past seasons Topeka merchants have devoted more time, space and expense to decorations of windows than is seen today or has been for several seasons past. That practice with the more up-to-date places has passed out of style, being no longer the custom. Their windows are, however, filled with an artistically arranged and displayed sample of their goods and correctly portray the quality of goods to be found on the inside. The interior of their stores is nicely decorated, while the large number of regular clocks has been added to by the employment of many new clocks for the holiday rush of business which, with most of our merchants, has already begun. Topkaka people should decide what they want and make their purchases at once while there is yet time, and, before the last two on three days and the night sun is on The out-of-town patrons of Topeka store, the year round and especially during the holiday season, has been huge the past few years since the release of railroad fare was inaugurated and then is when the rush is so great that the patrons of the stores do not feel satisfied. These are the reasons why Topeka people and out-of-town customers as well should come now, avoid the rush and packed condition which they are certain to find in Topeka stores, and therefore get better satisfaction. The stocks this season in all lines are better, more up to date, with better and larger assortments than in past years. The dress goods department of all kinds for women and children are complete and up to date in every particular, and present all the latest fashions, most popular colors and designs and unlimited assortment of sizes from which to make a selection. The line of bad gloves being displayed and of women's furnishings is large in all stores and comprise all standard makes. Topper's clothing and men's furnishing stores, which like her dry goods houses, are not exciled by those of any other city of the West, have all made elaborate preparations for the Christmas trade, and in addition to a large line of men's and boys' fine clothing have a large line of fine and well assorted hats, gloves, smoking packets, bath robes, and men's furnishings. The shoe dealers, ever energetic and always on the job, are offering an exceptional line of shoes suitable for the winter trade at prices never before heard of for such values. We have two cosmopolitan places where women's and children's ready made garments, chalk and fur, all grades, prices and styles, are exclusively dealt in. The multimeny store of the city are many and varied. They are displaying many pretty and stolish and expensive ready trimmed hats, together with a large stock of furnishings. Also arriving a large force of clothes and expert trimmers and are inviting to sell you a hat trimmed to your order. We now come to the projects and meat and confectionery lines. Merchants, handling these lines, are offering the best the market affords of all staple and fancy provisions and delicacies, together with meats, poultry, pork, turkeys, game vegetables, oysters and fruits and confectionery. We have made the rounds visiting all leading stores in the city in all their departments and inspecting their stock and prices and we are prepared to inform our readers that in all lines Topka merchants are this Christmas time offering goods of all qualities and kinds, at prices never before given on the public at holiday time and never before at this time of the year could so much of a high quality be purchased at such moderate prices. Again we advise our readers to make purchases early and avoid the rush and jam always occurring the last day or two before Christmas. Reeders of The Plaindealer can find the Christmas ads of most of the wideawake and reliable merchants in our Christmas number. 765 dried Coats cut to all garments, many of cycle, cheviots, and imp ny coats and all class Over Two Hundred Coats cut to One-half Price.

The Topeka Edison company which furnishes electric lighting and power for the entire city and power for the street railway company has spent many thousands of dollars here in improvements and in the employment of labor. This company should be encouraged to extend its wires and other pipes throughout the city. They should be shown the greatest generosity in the way of franchises and the extension of any which they already hold. They have many thousands of dollars of eastern capital invested here and from time to time as they grow and expand can and will invest here additional sums.

Some twenty-five years ago in a very small room on Kunsan avenue, the head of this institution which bears his name was operating a small retail meat shop. After conducting business in this way for a few years, he established this plant in its present location. By careful attention to business, by honest methods, by fortunate associates, the present great plant is a reality. This company kills and prepares for the trade daily about 300 hogs and twice each week 350 head of the best beef cattle, making the output of the plant eighteen hundred head of hogs and seven hundred cattle each week the year round, exclusive of Sundays. They now employ about 350 people about the plant and carry a large force of salesmen on the road. They manufacture everything that the Armours and larger packets do except Oleomargarine and Butterme. They carry a brand of this bearing their name but it is manufactured for them by one of the packing plants in Kangas City. Some of their leading products are "O. K. Lard," "Ham Sausage," "Banquet and Premium Hams and Bacon." Wolff smokes his meats with hickory wood, and is always on the market for wood of this kind. He does not use the liquid smoke nor colo; nothing but hickory wood suits the management of this plant and their smoke house is a nice thing to look upon. In addition to their local trade, they have an enormous and ever increasing foreign trade and ship their products to all parts of the world Only recently large and expensive additions were made to the plant but these have already have been cut grown and additional buildings and yard facilities will have to be added. They pay the highest market prices for cattle, hogs and sheep. They mount the patronage of all dealers and consumers of an up-to date The Bell Telephone packing plant, and one that inspectors employ by the United States government say is the cleanest packing plant in the world. Visitors are always welcome on making application to the office and will be conducted through the plant. To visit it and see it for yourself is to be a consummer of Wolff products after that. The managers of the various department of this plant are all men of long experience and are experts in their line. Fifteen years ago this store was established in North Tampa by Mr. J. H. Crockett and by honest methods and courteous treatment he built up a large business and out grew the quarters then occupied.

We are ready to call the attention to our readers to one man that I certainly making good, in the person of H. L. A. Knox, Attorney at Law, located at 117 W. Sixth Street, Kansas City, Mo. He is well versed among the lines of law and is an honorable, upright and conscientious man, that will not stoop in anything low or wink at a dishonorable act to earn a fee. If his clients have no case, he is frank to tell them and not accept their money unless he can do them some good. This is the class of men in the law profession that colored people need and need badly. He has practiced in Kansas City and is entitled to the reputation he has earned. He practices in all the courts and has the confidence and respect of the bench and in conversation of several judges in Kansas City, we learned that he is highly respected for his honesty and dignity as well as his ability as a lawyer. He is a graduate of the law department of Howard University, Washington, D. C., and was permitted to practice in St. Louis, in 1900. He is general attorney for the K. of P. in Kansas. He has won several important cases both criminal and civil, and in the probate court since in Kansas city. He is now administrator in the case of Dr. Joseph N. Birch, which has over $65,000 involved. Heretofore the colored people have been getting white lawyers to administer their estates, but now they are beginning to see that by patronizing capable colored lawyers they will get all that they need, for when white lawyers administer their estates, they usually get the biggest part of it, especially when there are large sums involved. He is handling the Birch estate successfully and everything can be accounted for in a one point piece. As soon as the colored lawyer of our late heath to do as Mr. Knox is in law, the legal fraternity will progress faster, for Mr. Knox will not need to see anyone held up by overrage or rates of usury. widow of the civil war. She scorned his pardon in 1913, which amounted to £150,20 and to receive a quarterly pension of £900. The fall into the hands of one Eliza G. Burrham, a white woman, who pretended to be her friend and abuser. She and it money and also her quarterly payment up to a short time before her death. The Burrham, who is witty and crafty had Mrs. May to make her will and bequeath all her money and property to her except £720, £600 of which was left to her two sons, a daughter and three grandchildren. Mrs May living an illiterate woman of the anti-balloon day thought a white person's world law and gospel and ignored this will, bequeathing her wealth to Mrs. Burrham, who was not entitled to a one cent piece. After she had discovered that she had been deceived by this supported friend, she made a new will in 1910 and bequeathed her wealth to her children. A suit was brought in the court court before Judge Potterfield and Mr. Knox succeeded in tying up over £2,000. The jury composed of white men ignored both law, evidence and instructions of the court and gave this designing Judy a not a victim, thereby robbing the children of this poor old illiterate cessive of the wealth that their father had caused for them by giving his life upon the battle field to save the flag of the nation. They upheld the wall of 1901 and restored the wall of 1910. The judge set aside the verdict and ordered a new trial. This shows that the average white man will resort to any method to the Negro of his rights and money. It is only through such high class man as Judge Potterfield that the Negro seems anything like his right. With this persistent energy and push of lawyers like Mr. Knox we may not assumed that better times are coming. We visited the farm of Col. Jaw Brown in company with our mate, Mr. W. Gorton, last week and enjoyed one of those old country dancers prepared by the hands of Mrs. Ima. Brown, who knows it to make it pleasant for visitors, as past country house wives do. We want on Mr. Brown's, but now farm and must say he has one of the best farms in the state. It is rich in fertile soil and oil in the front row. We would be glad to interview him. Faint trees to be seen at the proper time. He is setting out on one end of a well-balanced yard, with a writer part of it being sent at his own row, calling to it. Skimming nursery. He has a handbook for help of apples covered up on the ground, which he hauls to the colder mall. His youngest son, Myster Lee Brown, manages the farm and knows his business. At the time he had loaded up two wagons of apples and was on his way to the elder mall. We are proud to see this young man handle the business. He is accurate and praises and is a hard worker and is interested in his father's farm. He owns a couple of the finest teams to be found in the country and does all the marketing and is a fine salesman.

He established retails of the cast. He manufactures pure elder vinegar, several brands of Tomato Catup among them the celebrated Silver Leaf brand, several brands of apple butter, pinks and mango meat. Recordly they placed on the market a solid dressing which they are not silver leaf. This dressing was experienced with for a long time but being offered to the trade, and it was to a perfect dressing of the kind as can be found on the market anywhere.

Mr. Kuchne is a loyal Topekan and has with-tool tempting offer to desert Topeka, and Kansas and locate in Missouri and other places, but, he likes Topeka. He got his start here, Kansas her, fants and consumers have treated him well and he is a Kansas fixture. He thanks the people for then patronage of the past and hopes that such patronage may continue and be greater in the future. Kansas people, especially Topeka people should patronize home industries and be as loyal to Kuehne and Company as Mr. Kuehne has been to them. Institutions of this character, employers of hundreds, place thousands of dollars in circulation each month, deserve the patronage of all who have use for any thing in their line.

Among the sturdy youngsters who are foraging to the front, none stand out more boldly than Mr. U. A. Graham, messenger at the Merchants National Bank. Quiet, unassuming and modest, he is rapidly winning his way in the world and has the admiration and respect of all who know him. He was born in Topeka, May 6, 1886 and has been with the bank for the past ten years, and has won the confidence and respect of everyone connected with the institution. He has a good, level business head and attends strictly to every duty imposed upon him. Mr. Graham is an excellent example of what can be accomplished by young men of color if they will only apply themselves. The world has a more lofty place for him and The Plumcaler, along with his numerous friends among both races is ready to indorse him for anything he may seek. He comes form a highly respected family, his father, Mr. Geo Graham being one of the best and most widely known stationary engineers and all round machinists in Tepoka. Mr. Graham is a staunch Republican and always takes an active part in politics and his influence is felt and recognized. He is a taxpayer and is also interested in many enterprises in this city, among them being the "Apex" a new moving picture and vaudeville theatre. He is public spirited and a valuable citizen. MR.

All of the goods going out and coming into this large establishment is checked in and out by him. Mr. Page also manages the porter's work and has several boys under his supervision. But few people in Topka, although he has a large acquaintance, know that modest unassuming John Page is a stockholder in the great Warren M. Crosby and Co.'s store, and has been for many years. Mr. Page has a nice wife and two pretty little daughters, Misses Dory and Rose. They are bright, intelligent children and he and his cultured wife shower their love and devotion upon them. Mr. Page has found a solution to the much "cussed" and discussed race problem. It is honesty, sobriety, thrift, energy and mundane your own business. He is an excellent example of manhood, that boys of all races can emulate and profit thereby. He is a son of Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Page, old and highly respected citizens of Topeka. They have raised a large and interesting family; not a dhoe in the flock, and now in the evening of a well spent life, they can sit under their own vine and fig tree and point with pride to their sons and daughters. THE RALLY AT SE JOHN. A few weeks ago the members of St. John A. M. E. church were divided into four clubs for the purpose of raising funds to build the foundation for the main auditorium of the new office, and this effort brought its first fruits last Sunday when the various captains made their first report on the work accomplished. Rev. J. T. Smith, the working pastor, who has charge of the church, made no mistake when he selected the people who were to have direct supervision of this work. Rev. Smith set the mark at $250 00 for each captain to raise and put it at high tide in order that the best in them would be done, but had set the limit to be raised at $600, but in this he was mistaken, for the captains brought in $762 50, or $162 50 more than Rev. Smith figured on at this the Christmas time of the year and too, in the beginning of the crumpy season when every dollar is one hundred cents in nearly every home. But Rev. Smith appre Railroad Fare Refunded, All or Part, to Out-of- Lovin' Customers. ciates the mistake on his part, as it shows that the members of his flock appreciate his efforts to get St. John in trim for sailing before all the present members have gone from the church militant to the church triumphant. "You and I" club, Mr. C. Grant captain, raised $123 50; the "Busy Bee' club, Mr. E. W. Beck captain, raised $235 25; the "Gleaners' club, Mrs. James Buford captain, raised $169 00 flat, and the "Loyal Workers' club, Mrs. M. D. Boyd as captain, raised $235 00 even, making a total of $762 50. St. John has cause to feel proud of these young captains and of the faithful members that made this result possible, and of her pastor who engineered the rally to this successful climax, and the work has only begun. May this most generous spirit ever prevail and finally place St. John where the member can worship in an edifice wholly free from incumbrance. "LACISCM TRECNOC" After all it was "Musical Concert" spelled backward. But about two hundred people witnessed and joyed the affair at the Metropolitan Hall on Friday evening of 10 June, given on by the Gloucester club of St John M K church, and the management of Mrs James Balmed and Mrs Ed Burge. The program was an excellent one and was well rendered by the participants who were all girl-tangent in age on eight years to sixteen. Followed by Mrs Deneva Brown, Jesse Lamberton, Eva Samley, Grace Shields, Nellie Payne, Day Shack, Catha Roeves, Lola Payne, Carrie Stannis, Ebbi Johnson, Ruth Collins, Ruth and Naom King, Ethel Williams, Castella Rod, James Hayes, Corinne Shields, Josephine Cunningham, Telly Baker, Rose Page, Helena Club, Donothy Page, Creel Man on, Nettie Harron, Tom Smith, Marcus Hallery, and Lorne Poland. The coming day was "Cool With Pow" portended by all and we will do our especially the drill. As I see I am on the one of "Mammy's Shafflin' Dance," Little On "At Root led" I Want a Girl" and M. Grace Shafflin' "I Love Girl" "The next," I Want My Moth" was a set title, which was well along Little Ethical Will as close I go to the condition of "How My Mays Isk My," "Down in Noble Lane" wled by Mrs Eva Smiley and was charmingly done "Crisis Day" we were all infiltration of the little girl led by little Thomas Hayes "Goodbye Mr. Moon" wled by Mrs Nellie Payne, "I've Got the Lost Man" by Mrs Jela Payne, and "You're My Baby" by Mrs Deneva Brown to the delight and pleasure of the audience. "Mr. Dreamman" was a title rendered by Eva Smiley, Grace Shields and Daneva Brown, well staged. "Ghost of the Violin" led by little Corinne Shields, "I Amn't Gong to Cry No More," led by little Tobby Burke were well sung, and captivated the audience, but the "Ragtime Goblin Man," led by little Josephine Cunningham, simply carried the house by stair and was forced to an enclosure. All in all the concert was a proud treat to music lovers, as well as a source of revenue to the treasury of the Glamors club.
