Upon the statement of Dr. J. I Dick of Flushing, who had attended the bishop, that arterial cirrhosis caused the bishop’s death, and the ab- gence of any direct proof that he had been poisoned, the coroner permitted the interment in the family vault to take place as scheduled. Directly after the Yuneral Corpwer Schaeffer prepared to take the state- ments of the bishop's widow, her two daughters and the bishop's sister. If there Is any direct evidence to indi- cate that there had been foul play Coroner Schaeffer sald he would or- der un autopsy. A hint that the bishop had been poisoned received at the coroner's of- fice shortly before the time set fdr the funeral, determined Mr. Schaeffer to halt the ceremonies until an au- topsy could be performed. A letter sent by Letitla Ferguson, a sister of the dead bishop, to Dis- trict Attorney Whitman of New York County, aroused suspicion that the bishop had died from other than nat- ural causes, “~~ Assistant District Attorney Strong telephoned to Coroner Schaeffer the letter, which requested that the body of her brother be eaamined. The coroner jumped into an automobile with his secretary and Dr, Johnson MacLeod, and started at top speed for Flushing. Other Relrtives of Bishop Derrick.

Arthur Hebbons; reading memorial, Bishop John Hurst, In his eulogy on the life of Bishop Derrick, Bishop Turner was most emphatic in his remarks. He traced the war rec- ord of the deceased, his loyalty to the people and his faithfulness and devo- tion to his church duties. Sharp at times was his denunciation of the government for Its failure to recog: nize men of the late Bishop's stamp and its Injustice to the colored people generally. “They are most unjust to the colored people of this country,” he sald, “or at least a certain part of them. Every colored man yn the States owes Bishop Derrick a depth of gratitude for the service he ren- dered him. He admired man, both black and white; his opinion was that helping God was more important than helping man, and because of this the saintly Derrick was today on a hap- py and distant sphere.” Bishop ‘turner said he had been trying to preach since 1857, He de- clared that he did not believe that God made us to come here simply to serve winte people. The Bishop elosed his culogy by asking God's blessings upon the bereaved family, and the community, “Iace to Face,” favorite solo, was effectively rendered by Madam Paithenis A. Delaney. Dr. Booker T. Washington, after: addressing the audience and the Board of Bishops, which numbered about fifty, said that he regarded it a great privilege tu be present, and that no greater honor could be paid to the memory of 2 great man than that which was shown by the great aud- ience, mostly of his own people in which he lived. He counted Bishop Derrick his personal friend, and men- tioned the firet visit of the Bishop to Tuskegee, when on his return to his home he sent to the Institution a large Americen flug, This the great educutor showed conclusively his pa+ trlotism to the people and luve for the flag which he fought to uphold. Dr, Washington said also that he sometimes wondered how a race with ni fifty year of freedom could pro- duce such eminent and great charac- ters as the late o1ator and powerful soldier and churchman, Bishop Der- rick, God, he said, has been working with us, using obstacles for our great benefit. Turning to Bishop Tutner, Dr. Washington said: “I doubt, Bishop, that without obstacles you could have become the great man you ate, and | the same can be said of the late Bishop Derrich." He from a stand- point of Christian training and works compared the life of Bishop Derrick, with that of David Livingstone, and) closed by sayings “Let us be thank. | ful to God for permitting us to come} im contact and benefitting by the Ine} Muence of Bishop Dertich und that he did hive, but now with Bishops | Grant, Gaines and Salter he had passed to the reat beyond.” | Hishop Tyice, the neat speaker, bald: “We stand heie as in mourns, ing, ‘The robust body of a great man has been Juid down, T was with him, three weeks uo, and on parting, as; he held my hand when we sald sood- Lye, he sung effectively, “God Be With You Till We Mect Again” i ‘atainly beheve fn the resurrection | and all of us should be glad that Bish-,: op Derrick has conquered, He could, not talk with uny one ten minute! without mentioning the American | flax. He was soldier, Veace to his, soul and condolence to hly family.” | “Home of the Sou!” was sung by an! | old friend of the late Bishop. Rev. J. Ty Allen, the last speaker, sald Bishop Derick was a wonderful man and compared favorably with many of his personal acquaintances, James G. Blaine, Frederick Douglas and U. S. Grant, His greatest miasion was his care for the poor, and his hardest struggles during the last days of his life was relinguishing hold on his work. Prof. J. R. Hawkins read let- ters of condolence and regret from former President Roosevelt, Ex-Prest- dent Taft and many others. As the casket was opened for the benefit of thuce who had not viewed the body, the choir sang roftly, “My Days Are Gliding Swiftly By,” and “f Would Not Live Always.” After the bene- diction by Bishop W. D. Chappell, the choir sung, “Shall We Meet Beyond the River?” as the procession moved out of church, Interment was in the family vault.,Flushing Cemetery, and Wiley G.

We Japanese come to this country, hke men from all other countries, to take advantage of opportunities here s0 abundantly of- fered. We fill no jails, we attend to our own business; already we suffer many disadvantages not suffered by other people, You tell people of black race to be good, be industrious, learn trades, get property, get money, and all wil be well Japanese do all this Is it because we do it too well that the honorable American people would steal from us that which we so hard worked for? People of America think that no people have feeling of rights but white people; in this they make great mistake, Just as we can do all things equal if not superior to white Cauca- suan, 50 we feel slights and other in- dignities, American people could well remember that Japaneses men are not good-natured black Negroes, glad to smile and laugh at white op- pressors, Japanese are men and de- mand to be treated as men, With hope that you, honorable edi- tor, will be favored with all good xifts as your wisdom fo richly merits, I am honored to be, faithful servant.

The edict to prosecute owners of places where booze is sold will not be served on all who do this thing. The more women a preacher can get on his string the better he seems to prosper, for all the fat of the land is brought to his door by these poor deluded souls. --- Ever since Satan warred with God in heaven there has been a spirit of conquest and that spirit is as strong today as it was those thousands of years ago. Some are to conquer and some are to be conquered. The latest in tariff talk is from Prof. William Howard Taft and his advice is: If we are going to have free trade let's have it quick. It may be that the sooner we have it the quicker we will not want it. The butchery in Mexico goes merrily on and the heads are falling into the ditch at a rapid rate. If this condition keeps up much longer there will be but few left to tell the story of the struggle for supremacy. The handful of Republicans in the House of Representatives at Washington seem to keep the Democrats bothered. There are tricks in all trades, but Congressmen who have "been on the job" for awhile seem to know all the tricks in all trades. ```markdown ``` A witness in the government's case against Jack Johnson openly admitted that she met lack when she was an inmate of one of the vilest dens of impunity in Chicago, and yet there are white men who would send Johnson to prison for having met her. Samuel Gompers, it all have had their day in court and still the decision is that one must go to jail and the others must pay a fine. It seems hard to have to go to jail or pay a fine four or five years after such a little thing as to be in contempt of court, but it seems that it must be. The plan of Postmaster General Burleson to test the ability and fitness of certain class postmasters who were "blanketed" under civil service rules is quite fitting. There probably will be many who cannot come up to the requirements, but that will give some other follow a chance to demonstrate his ability. The浊 against the patrolmen smoking or chewing tobacco while on duty and leaves their chief free to do both and discharge all men who violate the rule is a queer freak of nature. The idea of the chief leading a squad of men to duty behind a cloud of cigarette smoke while the men dare not even smell the smoke is one of the oddities of crankism. All the world has an eye on Japan and watching with tense feeling the outcome of the California affair. It is reported that Japan will appeal to The Hague for arbitration, which is equal to saying that she does not intend to submit to the rule of California. Somat or later one Himam Johnson is going to know that of all the fools in the world he is among the chief. He it was that had a vice presidential in last fall, and now that that fit is over the war fit is en, and that, too, can be cured. Some of the cranks of Topaka have at last accomplished what they long have desired and that is to get in the public eye. The idea of women police is one of the things of this crankism. Topaka is now to try policewomen. They might be called under some other name, for no woman who has any respect for womankind would stoop to the degradation that entails upon the duty of a man on the force. There are conditions existing in every community that women cannot realize and many of them would throw up their hands in holy horror at the sight of many of these conditions. And the feminine nature in women would naturally resort to prejudice any such things, for well it might, as the future generations depend upon the purity of the minds of the present day mothers, and no woman can be pure in thought and mind who infests the ideas of sex and mind that turn by the curvature of artoker or performer. What the most likely response upon the mind and all future uses of life is the strain. Let the women look well to the future before jamming into the deportment of the police duty. O-WFGO, KAN.

E. literary society, under the auspices or presidency of Mr. Henry Crews is making splendid literary success and progress. Several young ladies in our city failed to read an item in one issue of The Plaindealer of great instruction entitled "A Sad Mistake." It is getting to be their style in maliciously loking up young men instead of letting the young men look them up. Thus in life they are unthoughtfully making a sad mistake especially when the young men happen to be strangers and will carry the sad news to other towns and cities. Mr. and Mrs. George Cloud entertained the B. C. club on Friday evening. The host and hostess made the evening pleasant for all. Light refreshments were served. Mr. and Mrs. Dean Miller entertained the B. C. club Saturday evening complimentary to Mr. James Nelson and Mr. Smith, of Manhattan, at their home South of the city. The affair was a most enjoyable one. Mrs. James Brown of Salina, and Mrs. C. B. Harrison, of Abilene, were guests of their sister, Mrs. W. P. Warder. The latter was also accompanied by her little son, Clifton, who was a pleasant guest of Miss Vernetta Mae Warder. Rev. and Mrs. Masterson, of Manhattan, were pleasant visitors with Rev. and Mrs. W. P. Warder Sunday. We are sorry to report that Miss. Warder is quite all at her home on N. Clay street and hope for her a speedy recovery. Rev. Warder, pastor of the Second Baptist church is proving highly satisfactory to members and friends of the church and deserves much credit for the good work being done by him. The literary at the Second Baptist church is a grand success from every point. The Baptist Home and Foreign Mission circle deserves great credit for the wonderful efforts being put forth by them for the uplift and advancement of humanity. Rev. J. D. Morrow and son will conduct a series of meetings at the Second Baptist church beginning on Tuesday night. A large audience greeted Mme. S. L. Hammett and Miss Lewis at St. John A. M. E. church Monday night. They are among the finest entertainers in the country. Mme. Hammett's singing was superb and the audience simply went wild after she rendered some of her choice selections. "Will You give the Colored Race a Show" was suggested and proved a decided hit. "The Blacksmith's Story" and "The Last Hymn," were favorites of the audience. The different costumes for each number on the program, were appropriate, there being fifteen in number. Their wardrobe was the most elaborate ever worn in Saint John church. Mme.

When alfalfa is grown on corn or potato ground the preparation of the seed bed is a comparatively simple alfalfa, writes L. H. Waldon of the North Dakota experiment station. The land should be diked in the spring and worked with a peg tooth harrow. After diking and harrowing, the ground should be worked occasionally during the spring with disk and harrow, in order to conserve the moisture and to kill the young germinating weeds. Growing alfalfa after a corn or potato crop is of added advantage in ```markdown ``` Photograph by Long Island agricultural experiment station SEEDING ALFALFA WITH HAND DRILL that the seed bed is firm below the top, two or three inches. The small seed of the alfalfa and the delicate nature of the young plant demand a compact seed bed in comparison to what is allowable for corn or even for wheat. In an open, porous seed bed the soil is not to dry out in the upper few inches, and if this occurs shortly after the germination of the alfalfa the young seedlings are quite liable to die through back of moisture. If alfalfa is to be grown after a crop of small grain the land should be fall plowed. The fall plowing allows the seed bed to become more compact than spring plowing and, in addition, adds in conserving moisture. The fall plowing should be worked in the spring in much the same manner as the corn or potato ground. Alfalfa may be grown upon summer fallow, though this probably has no advantage over corn grown in most instances.

As soon as the ground froze mulch the strawberries. Use a light, coarse material that will not pack down too closely, and thus smother the plants. Marsh hay is excellent for this purpose, as it contains few seeds. Last winter I kept celery in the fruit cellar nearly all winter. At harvest I dig the plants leaving considerable soil on the roots removed them to a dinks lighted corner of the cellar and picked them closely. A little additional soil was packed in among the roots, and the plants were then thoroughly watered taking care not to wet the tops or get any in the heart of the plant. Every three weeks during the winter it was thoroughly watered. It kept perfectly and continued to grow slowly throughout the winter. - Professor Wright, Pennsylvania State College, in American Agriculturalist. Among the Animals. For some years past a number of dairymen in Australia have adopted the practice of blanketing cows during wet and cold weather. The results in every case are spoken of as being highly satisfactory. Keep the horseshoes well tightened on the hoofs now, as this is the time of year they are most frequently lost by being hooed in the mud or snow or because of long usage. They are too high priced to be lost, and besides a horse shoe features the hoof mud is a slight urge to the animal in travel. When an owe drops her lamb put her in a small pen for two or three days or until the lamb is strong enough to follow the dew. In make the collar and tails to so that they are not forced. If the lamb is not able to consume all the dew it form few drops the owe should be milked out if not once each day. The product of farm and manure in this country now presents a value greater than the total value of a corn crop. The estimated value of farm manure produced in Australia is greatly less than one third of this value that is absolutely wasted by the farmers. 624-26 Minnesota Ave. Kansas City, Kansas Wiss, Plants, Braids, Transformations and Puffs in stock or to order; all shades, none too difficult.

A. rooms and at the First Baptist church on the afternoon and evening of April 21, 1913 respectively, has been established to provide a center for social life and recreation that shall be not only safe and sane, but inspiring. Its aim is to develop the highest conception of Christian womanhood and to aid our women in realizing this conception that they might appropriate more of Christ who said, "I am come that they might have life and that they might have it more abundantly."—John 10; 10.

Mr. Douglass was appointed from the fact that there was lack of harmony on the Board between Mr. Johnson and the rest of the board. We had one of the greatest pleasures of our lives in visiting the Auditor's Department of Kansas City, Mo., and meeting the Auditor, Mr. W. S. Claggett, who was appointed by the present Mayor Yost. The Mayor made no mistake in appointing this distinguished gentleman to this position, who not only monors and dignifies his position, but we think he is the proper man for Mayor Yost to cast his manale upon when he leaves the Mayor's office. We think Mr. Claggett would grace the executive chair of Missouri with wonderful ability and will give as good ser- we as any other, who has been appointed to this position since Missouri has been a state. He is a Missourian by birth, born in Lexington He is a thorough business man and is owner of one of the largest bonded and distributing warehouses and transfer companies in the Wesa. He came through the flood of 1904, several thousand dollars loser, yet like a Phenix, Mr. Clarrott came forth with zeal and push and bright the company to where it is now and doughing its business capacity Mr. Clayett is a mason and is one of the leading Shimers of the West. He has twelve me employed in his department and each of them hold him a high esteem and have nothing but words of praise for him in his treatment towards them. He is bona fide in his office and anyone who wants in his office will be made to feel home. In other words he is a high ass, honest, upright, Christian hite man and a gentleman. There is one colored man working in his department, Prof. A. M. Wilson, who ought school for many years and is prominent leader of his race. He also Past Grand Master of the Maras and Mr. Wilson says he never a finer gentleman in his life than Clagett. One thing we can say or the auditor is that he is a man sat enjoyer home life, as he takes great pleasure in reminding you that is married to one of the finest ties in the world and he has one. t time there has been much t smiles and sunshine and what is he has so much respect and at all times and on me the lowmen with a smile as there is being better than a him continued success in his e and promotion to Mayor and there to Governor.

A wall known Cana@ian profegsor at Ottawa, tn reply to the question, “Why is poultry valuable to the farmetr” gave the following reasons: Because be ought by this means to convert a great deal of the waate of bin farm Into money in the shape of eggs and chickens for market, Because with totelligent management bens ought to be all year revenue pro- ducera, with the exception of perhaps two months during the molting period. Because poultry will yield him a pusicker retura for bis capital Invested than any of the other departmente of agriculture. Because the manure from the pool- try house will make a raluable com- Dost for use in either vegetable garden or orchard.

Salina has a population of over five hundred colored people. They should attend their churches, schools and all meetings and duties assigned to them. The colored race should strive with all their might to bring their people up instead of letting them go backward. If the people would work together and stay together could be brought up to the mark of civilization than Salina. I wish to say to the younger race do your duty and do not stop until you have it completed; attend churches, Sunday schools., B. Y. P. U. and all the other organizations of the church. Do not sit in the seat of the scornful or mingle with bad company. It you come to church a little early do not walk up and down the sidewalk and laugh loud and play in front of the church. Study your lessons so that you can learn something from them. Let us work together and try to make Salina something in the future. The Dunbar Art club gave a delightful birthday party on Mrs. L.

Kinsley, Kann., May 6, 1913. Dent Mr. Chiles: The leaters written by you and Mr. Tillman were carefully perused and considered as I read each one and in the presents of Rev. Freeman and others of note. For my part I do certainly give you credit for your courtesy, frankness and the truthfulness brought out and made plain aherein. Your letters were a burning fire kindled with truth and the truth is one thing that shall stand forever as in Isaiah 40: 8. Mr. Tillman is like a great many other fighters of of the colored race, after the race has served, made and kept them and cause them to be what they are, except principal, now the race is freed from such heartless fakes, being educated and equaling and surpassing any white face with the same opportunity, I do say that the heart of anyone who feels as Mr. Tillman, expresses himself, is as black as black can ever be made and the light face is merely a shadow. There are numbers of dark skinned people whose hearts are white. These kind of people Mr. Tillman are agreeing against but their agreement with hell shall not stand for God hath created all men equal and of one blood. So lea us look to him who created and strive to win, for with God's help and our good dealings we shall over come such spirits as exist in Mr. Tillman.
