PIANO VOLUME XXX, NUMBER 19. A Word From the Philippines Orderly Sorgeant S. W. Taliaferro, formerly of Lynchburg Va., but who has won renown in the service of the United States government as a noncommissioned officer in the army, is now stationed at Parang, Moro, Philippine Islands. Under date of January 26, 1913, he writes: "I received your letter several weeks ago, and it is needless to say that I was glad to hear from you, and I consider myself especially favored by a personal letter from such a distinguished citizen of the Great American Republic. I have been a more or less constant reader of The PLANET from early childhood, and today I consider it the best race paper published. The advice given in this paper is the very best and every line of instruction contained therein shows the hand of experience DEPLORES MISFORTUNES "I deplore the misfortunes that have befallen our Great Financial Organization, The Grand Fountain, United Order of True Reformers, but look with hope toward the rising sun of the Mechanics Savings Bank, and wish them abundant success. The Mechanics Savings Bank has one great advantage and that is it is officered throughout by business men of intelligence and experience. It is impossible for us to guard against all dishonesty, but when a concern has a board of directors of intelligent and experienced men dishonesty can not make much headway. When the American Negro will come to the front with some business concern of note that can be pointed to as an assured success. I have taken special interest in race enterprises all of my life, and all that I can say today is that I have lost every cent that I have invested in them. STILL TRUSTING. My latest venture is a 25,000 Peso share in the Fraternity Hall Association of Manila, P. I. They have not failed yet. I am deeply interested in the welfare of my race, and I long for a change for the better. "Now I guess that you are anxious to hear what the Negro is doing in the Philippines, and what are his chances for the future. Well there are not many American Negroes in the Islands, except those in the government service. Of the few that are here those that want to do anything are doing very well, but the trouble with most of them is that they do not care to do anything. Those Islands are full of natural opportunities for entertaining young men, with small capital and the Negro can come in here and do as well as anybody if he wants to do so. The population of this town is about 1000, mostly natives and Chinese. There are about ten Americans; five of whom are Negroes. COLORED MEN PROGRESSING. Two American Negroes in the military service, and three civilians. One is a blacksmith, one is a saddler, and the other is Chief of Police. This is not so bad for this little town. This is a "nice farming and cattle country, and I would like to see more American Negroes of good character come in here and settle. The Japanese are coming in by the hundreds. The Chinese are here in great force. The American Negro is waiting for the country to get settled up and then he will come running in, grip in hand to be kicked off the sidewalks, just as he is served today in Australia. NOTABLE AMERICAN NEGROES IN THE ISLANDS AS PERMANENT SETTLERS "In Luzon: Somewhere in the Cagayan Valley of Northern Luzon, is Dr. Warmaley, a practicing physician. In Zambales, Prof. Hart, school teacher. At Dasol, Mr. Hill, rice planter. At Bayomhong, Mr. Logan, rice planter. At Olongapo, Mr. Rufus Scott, planter. In Manila, Mr. Bonds, gon't clotheter; Mr. Vance ahoeontre; Dr. Fitsbutter, practicing physician; Dr. Schields, practicing physician and druggist; Mr. Q. E. Campbell, attorney-at-law; Captain Loving, Mr. Wood and Mr. Mayers, in the Constabulary; Mr. Andrews, Mr. Shaw, Mr. Graham, Mr. Grier and Mr. William W. Williams civilians in the employ of the government. --- LARGE ORTTLLEMENT. There is quite a large colored settle meet in Maui, with several lodges of Odd Fellows, Masons and K. of Fr. In Oahu, Lester Island is Mr. Wha- noy, merchant and liquor dealer, estimated to be worth P 20,000 or $10,000.00 gold. In Zamboanga, Mindanao is Mr. Eubanks, merchant, wholesale and retail family grocer, capital from ten to twenty thousand pesos. Mr. Stovall, assistant to city engineer. "Mindanao, the second island in size, and the least populated one is the best one for American settlers. It has the best soil and the most favorable climate. Cottabati Valley which is one of the most favored pieces of agricultural land in the world is on this island. This island is good for rice, corn, rubber, coffee, tobacco, kapok, coconut, bananas and cattle. The mountains are well timbered and rich with minerals. "This island is principally settled by savages called Moros who roam over the country much as did the American Indians, the worst age. The civilized Filipinos from the north stand in great fear of these Moros, and for that reason foreigners have a fine chance here. NOT VERY DANGEROUS The Moros are not half as dangerous as American Indians, they easily civilize, and when properly handled make good workmen. They are Mohammedans in their religious belief, and recent bitterly any attempt of Christian settlers to convert them, or their children. They do not eat hog meat, or anything that has lard or the fat of hog in it. "So I give this little tip to who ever may come among them. Do not try to interfere with their religion. Do not try to make them eat hog meat. Pay them promptly for what they do for you, and you will find them the best savages in the world." VARDAMAN SEEKING NEGRO LEGISLATION. Mississippi State Plan Cower Oney in Washington and to Repeal Amendment. Washington, April 1.—Senator James K. Vardaman intends shortly to introduce bills providing for film crew care in the District of Columbia and separate schools and other means for separating whites from blacks. Discussing the matter today, the senator from Mississippi, who made the race question a prominent issue in Mississippi, said he would take no action at the extra session because he believed the extra session should be confined to the tariff question. TO REPEAL AMENDMENT. Later the senator from Mississippi will not only issue his jim crow bills, but intends to offer a resolution repealing the 15th amendment to the Federal constitution and modifying the fourteenth amendment to deprive the Negro of the elective franchise or the right to hold office. "They have called me a Negro-hater," said Senator Vardaman. "But I believe I am one of the best friends the Negro has. During my term as governor of Mississippi there was but one Negro lynched in the State. I went out of my way to put a stop to lynchings and have traveled across the entire State to suppress a mob which the police could not subdue. In one instance I rode my horse into the midst of a mob of one thousand men who had just battered down a fall door and taken a Negro from the fall at Jackson. Miss, with the intention of lynching him. RESCUED MOR'S PRISONER "I rescued him from the mob and protected him and secured him a fair trial with the result that he was found to be innocent of the crime of which he was charged. "In taking the course I intend to take in regard to legislation on the race question. I am simply trying to deal with the question of the greatest moment in the only way in which it can be solved and sensible men both North and South will in time be compelled to agree with me if they do not agree with me now." His Majesty, King of the Hellenes. By the death of His Majesty, the late King of the Holmes (Greece), the news of whose assassination on the 18th inst. has been received with universal regret, the Society has lost one of its Honorary Royal Members.

The church was filled to its utmost capacity by friends. Rev. J. J. Nickerson Called to the First Baptist Church, Williamsburg, Va. Rev. J. J. Nickerson, a progressive and hustling young minister of our city has been called to the First Baptist Church of Williamsburg. Rev. Nickerson's ability as a preacher of the gospel is well known throughout Richmond and vicinity and many sections of our State and we predict for him a great future and compliment the members on the judgment of their choice. This church has had but two pastors since the war, and its second pastor Dr. Dawson, D. D., who is now well stricken in age, has recently celebrated his 47th year as pastor of the above named church. He was one of the first educated ministers to come to the State after Lee surrendered to Grant at Armatox and represented that district for eight years in Congress; but as all flesh must fall and decay, he is now unable to do the work of the church, and the present membership has super-annuated him on a salary. This church had a membership of two thousand back in the seventies and is thought to be the oldest church among the colored Baptists of this State and supposed by many to be the oldest in the United States, but on account of the declining years of its pastor, Rev. J. M. Dawson, D. D. this once great church has largely dropped out of the minds of those who once know of her fame as a power for good in our State, but the members hope that with the guidance of Rev. Nickerson and his ability to work, that this mother of churches will again rise up and let her children know that she still lives and that many years of activity will not be seen of body. 810 A Day and More to Live Agents. 100 percent, profit; sells to every colored man and woman on earth; this is the quickest kind of easy money; send 15 cents, stamps or coin for 50 cents sample and terms; money back if not satisfied at first glance.

TENTATIVE PROGRAM Opening session on the night of April 23 in the Temple. This session will be an introductory meeting. The following have been asked to speak: Hon. James Bryce, Dr. Du Bots M. Villard, Rabbit Krauskopf, Mayor Blankenburg. Mr. Moorfield Storey will preside. APRIL, 24 Two sessions, afternoon and evening. Both these sessions will consider facts in regard to the economic condition of the Negro. The subject of the afternoon session will be The Struggle for Land and Property, with the following speakers: President John Hope (colored), Atlanta Baptist College, who may tell us something of the crises in Northern Georgia: W. Ashleie Hawkins (colored), the attorney for the Baltimore Branch, who has been doing remarkable work in fighting segregation and other kinds of discrimination: "Friend" Henry Wilbur of Philadelphia, who will probably speak on the land problem in the South; Mr. John Mitchell (colored) President of the Mechanics Bank, Richmond; and a representative from St. Louis. EVENING SESSION. The subject of this session will be The Problem of Work and Wages. Dr. DuBois will prepare a lecture and an elaborate chart. Other speakers will be Dr. Hayne of Fisk University Kelly Miller and a representative of the Labor Union, probably John Mitchell. Bishop Coppin will provide. APRIL 25-MORNING This will be the executive session of the Conference and will be largely devoted to the work of branches and other matters of importance. AFTERNOON. This will be devoted to The New Southern Attitude. Suspended speakers are: Mrs. Hammond, Dean Sutton, Mrs. Beverly Manford, Dr. James H. Dillard, Mr. W. D. Weatherford, Mr. Joseph C. Manling, Mr. Arthur Little and Dr. M. C. B. Mason, Mr. Moorfield Storey will preside. The idea of this meeting is to bring out the spirit of the New South toward the race problem. The real need of the South is, as Dr. Dillard says that "the people of good will in the South should speak out." As Prof. Spingarn says, "Here is an opportunity for our Association to allow the Southerners to answer the Blesses and the Vardamans." If they should play us false at this session, we could answer them the following session if need be. EVENING This session will be devoted to The New Abolition Movement. The following speakers will be invited: Hon. Albert E. Pillsbury, Senator Robert L. Follette, Senator Moses E. Clapp, Judge Mayer Sulzberger, Judge Wendell P. Stafford, Rev. John Haynes Holmes, Mrs. W. A. Hunton (colored), and some representative colored man from Philadelphia whom we have not yet decided upon. Mr. Millholland will preside. This meeting should be the climax of the entire Conference. If this material is properly handled in the press—and we are making a great effort to get the right publicity—our Conference should be able to deliver a message of national importance to—the entire country. If we can get representative Southerners (to take part, it should mean notice in the Southern press.) The list of speakers given, of course, is too long. We intend to have three or four to each session as some will refuse and some drop out. We have made an alternative list. WANTED—A COLORED ACTRESS to work on shares. Experience unaccentary.

An Appeal to the Churches of the Virginia Baptist State Convention From the Foreign Mission Board of the Same. Greeting: The pressing need of funds to carry on the work of mission in foreign fields make it necessary for us to appeal to the various churches composing the Convention for funds to carry on the work. In May the Convention will be in session at Hampton, Va. and we sincerely hope each church will put forth special efforts to send up a large contribution. We feel that it would not be out of place to request each church to lift a special collection for foreign mission. Should you forward any money directly to the National Board, please furnish our State Board with the amount forwarded, that the latter may get credit for all monies raised for foreign mission; though it is prefetred that all monies raised for foreign mission be forwarded through our State Board, since our Board is the only authorized agent for foreign missions of this State.

Then Colonel Ellingham recognized General Haverill—the Mexican war comrade of his father under the old flag, and his own and Gertrude's guardian until the great, sundering of sacred ties by the awful outbreak of civil strife that now had spent itself after laying the country and its homes and industrice desolate. "We meet under difficult circumstances, General Haverill," faltered Bob, "but—I trust there are no hard feelings?" "None. Robert, my boy—quite the contrary. It is time, God knows! How are Gertrude and—" "She and Kerchival were married last Sunday," answered Bob. He saw the general's face alter strangely, and his whole attitude stiffen, as if his heart had suddenly frozen. So he hastened to add, "But we have not been able to locate Captain Heartsease, and I hardly dare to speculate as to what has become of him." "On that point I can give you welcome news," said General Haverill, recovering his old cordiality. "He escaped while being transferred from Danville and came to us at Peterburg to rejoin the corps. But he was in no condition for campaigning, so I sent him on to Washington, where I have no doubt Miss Jenny Buckthorn will succeed in nursing him to recovery." In due time, word was received from General Grant that he was coming on immediately to discuss terms of surrender with the southern commander. General Grant's courier found, General Lee, near Appomattox Court House, lying under an apple tree upon a blanket spread over some rails, whence originated the report about Lee's having surrendered "beneath the apple tree of Appomattox." The historic meeting of the two generals really took place at the house of Wilmer McLean, a Virginian, who, before and during the first battle of Manassas, had resided at McLean's ford, over Bull Run, and who had removed themselves to Appomattox expressly in order to be out of the war's way. ly in order to be out of the wars way. General Grant, accompanied by Generals Sheridan and Ord and several other officers, including General Haverill, presented a striking contrast to General Lee, who, with a couple of staff officers, awaited him in the old secluded parlor of the McLean residence. Grant, forty-three years old, medium sized and somewhat stoop shouldered, wore no marks of rank except a general's shoulder straps on his blue channel blouse. His trousers were tucked in his boots, and he bead neither spurs nor aword. Lee, a dozen years older than his late adversary, had the stature and bearing of an old knight crusader. His hair and beard were silver gray. He wore a plain but handsome uniform of 'confederate gray, top boots with spurs, gruntlets and a dress sword. This uncustomized side arm was a splendid blade engraved on one side with the motto 'Aloe tol et Dieu faldera,' on the other side with the inscription, reminiscent of the cam- by Review of Reviews company. "Lee had the stature and bearing of an old knight crusader." "Lee had the stature and bearing of an old knight crusader." paign that had ended at Antistam, "General Robert E. Lee, from a Marylander, 1803." The terms of surrender discussed and reduced to, writing at General Lee's request embraced the parole of officers and men "not to take up arms against the government of the United States until property exchanged;" arms, artillery and public property to be turned over to Federal officers, this latter provision not embracing the side arms of the Confederate officers nor their private horses or bargage. Before this draft was copied in ink for signing General Lee took opportunity to remark that his cavalrymen and many of the artillerymen owned their horses and asked whether these men well as the officers would be permitted to retain them. "I suppose," said (lrant sympathetically, "that a great many of the men in your ranks are small farmers when they are at home and in that case will need their horses now, so put in crops to carry themselves and their Sandhills through next winter. Well, then, we will have it set down that man man who claims to own a horse, or which may retain the animal and take it home with him." That will have a very good effect," said Leo, much gratified. The Union commander acted with good grace in his own disposition and at the same time was in perfect accord with the expressed wish of President Lincoln at Richmond, when General Waltim had asked what he should do in regard to the "conquered people." "Oh, if I were you I'd let 'em up easy!" was Mr. Lincoln's reply. "I'd let 'em up easy." Indeed, the behavior of Grant at Apomattox touched the heights of true poetic chivalry, springing from a kind and marmionious heart. He neither demanded nor accepted Leo's sword, as formal military custom might have justified him in doing, but actually apologized for not having his own, which in the hurry of departure he had left behind in the wagon.

ONE day the king of Persia and ruler of the earth took it into his head to wander out into the country alone and have a chat with some of his bonest subjects. Coming across a peasant at work in his field, the king halted to say: "I have heard a traveler to say that in the fields where the grass is thick and tall there dwelt a species of bird which made and stored up honey. Hath seen a flock of such birds around here? "I don't think I have," replied the peasant. "The tale of a traveler may Pcargn be true, but the birds are evidently coy and shy." "He described them as about the size of my thumb." "Haven't seen any." "With yellow lines on their backs and many feet." "Haven't heard 'em singing around here." "But they singeth not," protested the king. "Instead of a song they make a noise as of up-m-m-m." "And do they sometimes light down on a log?" "Truly they do." "And the man who sits down on one imagination he has a bradawl for a cuckion?" "Now you are hitting it. Even so did the traveler relate. Let me see those birds at once." "You'll find a nest of them over by the gooseberry hush," said the peasant as an grin spread over his face, "but I'd leave a few young ones for seed if I was you. A nest of 'em makes the place seem homelike, you know, and their bites keep the boys from getting lazy." The King Explores The king climbed the fence and waded through the grass to the spot, and his yells and antics soon proved that he had found the birds. After galloping three times around the meadow and rolling over it once he got rid of their company, and, limping up to the peasant, he said: "Hath a name for these birds?" "And, knowing this, you still let your king place his life in peril! Caitiff, the ax of my executioner awaits thee!" "I let thee go forward, O king, not knowing that thou wert king, but instead of deserving the ax thou shouldst reward me with a bag of gold." "S'death! But how so?" "Because, O king, thou hast never had a circus within thy realm, though often longing for one. Here is one ready made. Let thy suit of a hundred follow thee out here tomorrow, and when all are assembled send them into the meadow to find the nestlings." "Biggish, if I don't do it!" exclaimed the king as his frost disappeared and a balmy smile stole over his face, and next day the performance came off as advertised and was reported as an unprecedented success. One day as the ruler of all Purpura and a large slice of the root of the world was riding out with his courtiers he came across a pousant who was pulling hard at a rope attached to the neck of an anse. The anse was sagging back on his haunches, and it was a question whether he would be pulled ahead or have his neck pulled off. . He Interferes "By the corn of my grandfather, but what a fool that man is!" exclaimed the king as he came to a halt. "Ho, thou idiot! I would speak with thee." The penant let fall the rope and came forward and rubbed his nose on the earth to prove his humility, and the king continued: "Do my eyes deceive me when I see a man of fifty pulling to get an ax along? In all these years haven't you learned that the way to treat an obliterate beast is to push from behind?" I dare not push on account of his acts, O ruler," he told the men. "But what have been with it? They, are on springing with wind and beneficent, and are apt to fly upward at a touch." "I never heard of such a thing. Hi Abraham, grand secretary of agriculture, where's this about asses? Is it the proper way to push 'am asses? "It might work. O king, but I have been too busy with onions and turn to try it."

It was in vain that the grand secretary, secretary of war, high chamberlain and the rest of the crowd protested. The king was a determined man when he got his dander up, and he swung out of his middle and approached the ass. The King is Jarred. "O king, but I am afraid of a far," said the peasant, with alarm in his face. "Please poke him with a fence rail when you look for springs." "Not by the but of Sardanapalus! Here, you old beast, get along with you! Now, then, heave, oh, heave!" Twenty minutes later the mighty ruler opened his eyes to find ammonia at his nose and lie on his stomach, and when he asked if the earthquake had killed anyone his grand secretary replied: "O high and mighty, but the heels of the ass were on springs, and the springs worked!" "In other words," said the king. "I've been kicked into the middle of next week by an ass." "That's about it. O king." "I see. An I pushed he kicked. Well, I can't let things go this way. Grand secretary, for not knowing more about asses you are bounced from your position. Peasant, for not knowing all about 'em you shall receive fifty lasheal!" "But we ask for justice!" cried both men together. "Then you shall exchange places." "But it was the ass that did it!" they chorused again. "Then he shall die." "O ruler," said the peasant, "if you had kept away from the ass' heels you wouldn't have been kicked." "Ah, that's something like," replied the king as he rose up. "As it now transplies that there were two asses instead of one and as it is hard to tell which ass was most to blame, we'll call the whole thing off and go over and look at those pumpkins. I want to know how the asss get inside 'em." Misunderstood. On a farm in South Africa there was a Kaffir whom the men used to call "Coalscuttle."

"Yes, boss," said the man. That evening he went a-milking as usual, holding the stool at arm's length and looking a trifle bewildered. A full hour elapsed and he did not come home. At length he arrived bruised and battered, the cans shaped and not a drop of milk in them. "Why, Coalscuttle, what's wrong?" the boss, appearing.

That profession was never intended for the good-for-nothing loafer. While every other statesman is trying to add new amendments to the Constitution of the United States, Senator James K. Vardaman is now trying to take two of them away. He announces that he will endeavor to secure the repeal of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States. He may be able to succeed if the Democratic House of Representatives and Senate will agree to submit the proposition to the American people. As the matter now stands though, he'll have "in hard road to travel." The people of the country have gotten tired of the race question. It was agitated in order to get the Republican leaders out of office. Now that they are out, the issue is useless, being very much like a spent bullet. The Negro-haters in Mississippi sent Mr. Vardaman to the Congress upon the promise, no doubt that he would secure the repeal of those amendments. Just as those from South Carolina sent Hon. B. R. Tillman to the United States Senate for the same reason. Both are now in office and they should be satisfied. Let the Negro-haters in Mississippi sweat and "cuss" and let Senator Vardaman look after the vital interests of all the people. The struggle of the colored people to secure a footing in the financial world has not been abandoned on account of financial failures. Colored people are as determined as ever to remain the ground which they have lost and to achieve success upon the rains of their former failures.

The violation of well established financial rules and customs is being discontinued. Richmond has been the centre of business activity among colored people and we see no reason why it should not continue to maintain its supremacy. WHITE FOLKS WANT THE JOB The following item from the Washington D. C. Post will be read with interest by Mr. James A. Ross, leading Democratic candidate for the position of Recorder of Deeds. Members of the National Democratic Association of the United States at a meeting last night at 9:12 Tenth Street. Northwest, adopted a resolution requesting President Wilson in selecting a recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia, to confine his field of selection to the District of Columbia, and to appoint a white man to the position. Lorenzo G. Warfield was indorsed for the office. If the Democratic party owes the Negro anything, it is declared, the debt is national, and should not be paid with a District office, since there are not 20 Negro Democrats to be found in the 80,000 members of the race living in the National Capital This is a peculiar declaration and we doubt the correctness of the statement that there are not 20 Negro Democrats to be found in the Second members of the race living at the National Capital. It can only be based upon the theory that a colored man cannot be a Democrat. Certainly there was a host of colored men in Washington "rooting" for the election of Hon. Woodrow Wilson, and a tally of those men now in the government service would no doubt result in surprising disclosures.

Warren, he has the constitution of an African elephant and the vitality of an American ox. He has the "horse sense" too, to come back here when he gets danger to his health in that African Republic. Let Editor Moore go back to work in the New York Age office. He is badly needed in this country. YALE MEN WELCOME TAFT Three Thousand Students Meet Former President at the Train mer President at the Train. Three thousand Yale students, headed by a band, raided a welcome to former President Taft when he arrived in New Haven, Conn., from New York to take up his duties as Kent professor of law at the university. As Mr. Taft stepped from the train he was presented with a huge bouquet of violets. The former president smiled broadly and dotted his hat to the continuous cheering of the crowd. The procession headed for the college buildings and Mr. Taft received an ovation all the way. The Bulgarian Schlipka regiment won the honor of being the first to enter the city. Shukri Pasha, the Turkish commander, it is reported, killed himself. The entire carriage was captured. Following soon after the breaking of the deadlock in the Illinois legislature and the election of James Hamilton Lewis, Democrat, to the full term of six years in the United States senate, the secondary deadlock broke and Lawrence W. Sherrman, Republican, was elected for the short term. Sherman will fill the vacancy caused by the outing of William Lorimer from the senate. His term will, expire March 2, 1915. Lewis was the democratic-primary choice for senator and Sherman was, similarly endorsed by the Republicans. Wilson to Toas First' Ball.

The box and the casket burst open and the child's body fell out. The horse was so badly injured that it had to be killed. Charles Ellicker, of Rosaville, the undertaker, and his young son, Robert, were severely injured. Ellicker was driving the horse, and in an effort to avoid striking the minister's buggy ran the team into a fence. Treasurer Burke Takes Oral Former Governor John Burke, c. North Dakota, took the oath of office as treasurer of the United States, succeeding Carroll A. Thompson, who turned over $1,425,425.25 1920 Thurston at the Bifou Next Week. One of the brightest philosophers of the world, Dr. Paul Carus, has said that in his opinion modern magic should have a place in the educational program. "We should all," he says, "know something of the general methods of magic, and some times in our lives witness the extraordinary feats, bordering on miracles, with which a prestigious tutor can dazzle our eyes and misguide our judgment. The boy who has studied magic will not be so apt in later years to take up with every new end of mysticism and will not be so easily duped." FLOOD AREA CLEARING Conditions in Western Pennsylvania Are Slowly Improving. Western Pennsylvania is slowly recovering from the effects of the most general and disastrous flood in its history. Greater damage than ever before was done to property, more lives were taken and more homes made desolate. Now that the danger is past the vast flood-submerged section is gradually clearing of waters. Many persons are counting and burying their dead, reliving the homeless and destitute, gathering up fragments of ruined property and planning for the future. Pittsburgh's monetary loss is at least $1,000,000. The steel industry is paralyzed for the time, many plants being submerged. Two months will pass before all operations are again resumed. The property loss in Wheeling, WI. Van. is estimated at $3,000,000. The loss in Youngstown, Ohio, is approximately $2,000,000. The Shenango, Mamarang, Peaver and Ohio valleys show great clenking scenes of desolation. Long rivers and smaller streams are down the wreckage of homes and apartments, many of whose owners, at a severity of labor to accumulate a pension, must start out penniless each. Very wooden bridge in the flooded town has been washed away, and many steel spans are weakened. Telephone and telephone wires are down.

Check Fire With Dynamite Fire broke out in the flooded residence district in Huntington, W. Va., and threatened the destruction of a whole block, but the fire was checked by the use of dynamite. Eleven persons were rescued from the burning buildings. Fire engines placed on barges pumped water on the flames. State Fire Marshal Allison directed the work of the firemen. Bank Bandit Soon Stain Robert I. Brown, cashier of the Barnes States bank, at Barnes, Kan., was shot and killed by a man who robbed the institution. Later a posse of citizens shot the robber to death as he was trying to make his escape with a bag of $600 in gold. Brown had just opened the bank and was at the counter when he was confronted by a masked man, who pointed two revolvers at him. Brown ducked, seized his own revolver and had emptied it without effect before a bullet through the head killed him. The thief gathered into a bag $600 and ran from the bank, but citizens alarmed by the shots, were in pursuit before he had covered a block. Within three blocks of the bank he fell before a volley of shots, still clutching the gold. Sikaran Ailes Take Adrianople. Adrianople has fallen. The Bulgarian war office in Sofia gave out that information. The fall of the Turkish holy city, which probably will speedily end the long Balkan war, followed a general assault by the Bulgarians and Servians. According to the report the Third Bulgarian division entered the city and took formal possession. Before they surrendered the Turks blew up several powder magazines and fired houses. It was reported that Adrianople was in flames in a dozen places and that the inhabitants were fleeing in every direction. There was danger that the city would be destroyed. Accounts from the front said that the Bulgarians bayonetted hundreds of Turks, who were engaged in firing houses and blowing up powder magazines. The Immigrants and Servians entered the city after hours of desperate fighting and a display of valor seldom emplied in modern warfare. They rushed the last works of the Turkish defenders in the face of a terrific fire and won their way into the city in hand to hand encounters. Sherman Elsted Rev. Elmer E.

P MORGAN DIES IN ROME Financier Succumbs After Month's Illness. Physicians Say He Had Nervous Prostration, Followed by General Collapsst—One Biames "Money Trust" Probs. J. Pierpont, Morgan, master of hundreds of millions of dollars and the greatest financial and commercial power in the United States. died in his hotel in Rome. Mr. Morgan would have been seventy-six years old, on April 17. The body of Mr. Morgan is to be embalmed and sent to the United J. P. MORGAN. Latest. Picture of the Dead Financier. ```markdown ``` Photo by American Press Association States. A funeral service will be held before its departure. Italian troops will assist at the ceremonies. It is said that Mr. Morgan has left his art treasures to the United States government. Dr. M. Allen Starr, of New York, called into consultation in connection with J. Pierpont Morgan's illness, attributed the financier's breakdown to emotion caused by the investigation carried out by the Puo committee at Washington into the operations of the so-called "money trust," of which Mr. Morgan was considered the head. A statement giving the full history of Mr. Morgan's illness has been cabled by his physicians to his son in New York. The statement recapitulates the symptoms of Mr. Morgan's malady since it first developed in Egypt. It qualifies his illness as nervous prostration, but says that his intelligence remained normal until Easter Sunday. When the death of Mr. Morgan was seen to be approaching rapidly, Professor Gluseppe Bastianelli and Dr. George D. Dixon forced Mr. and Mrs. Herbert L. Satterlee, son-in-law and daughter of the financier, and Miss Helen Hamilton, a niece, who had been in constant attendance, to leave the room. Mrs. Satterlee had been with her father from the time he left New York, and Mr. Satterlee had joined them in Egypt. Mr. Morgan toward the end showed he was suffering internally only by a movement of his right hand. Otherwise he displayed no sign of vitality except by continuous heavy breathing. Mr. Morgan was unable to assimilate nourishment artificially administered, and his physical weakness was extreme. Heart tonics were injected, but these had no effect, and for several hours before his death he was in a state of coma, unable to respond to any questions or to recognize any of those at his bedside. John Pierpont Morgan was born on April 17, 1837, in Hartford, Conn., the son of Junius Spencer Morgan, a banker. His mother before her marriage was Juliet Pierpont. Both of his parents were from old and well known New England families. Hall Morgan so chosen he might haveerved the rights of the rich rich.

He was educated, first in the public schools of Hartford, later graduated from the Boston English high school and finished his studies at the University of Goettingen, Germany. He entered the banking house of Duncan, Sherman & Co. as a clerk in 1857. Because United States agent for the London banking firm of George Peabody & Co., of which his father was a member, in 1863.

Floyd Allen and his son, Claude S. Allen, were put to death in the electric chair in the state penitentiary in Richmond, Va., for their part in the Hillsville court house murders. Other members of the notorious gang are serving long sentences in the same prison. The Allens were put to death, after a dramatic eleventh hour attempt to save them had been thwarted by Governor Mann's unexpected return to the capitol, thus preventing Lieutenant Governor Ellison from acting upon a request for a respite or commutation of sentence. The old mountaineer, once the terror of a whole section of the Blue Ridge, and his strapping young son died within ten minutes of one another. Father and son, occupying separate cells, heard the death warrants read. Tears were in Floyd Allen's eyes as he looked upon his boy. There was a pathetic, farewell as the old mountaineer, bent and feeble, was led away. Two minutes after he entered the death chamber the signal was given and the current was turned up. When the prison surgeon announced that Floyd Allen was dead the body was hastily removed and the guards went back for Claude. Floyd Allen was mourning a prayer as he was placed in the chair, Claudia showed no trace of emotion. Rev. George W. McDaniel, spiritual adviser to the Allens, had to be lifted into his car as he left the prison. J. "Ham." Lewis Elected Senator.

Its Numerical Strength and Steady Growth, List of Committees. "The marvelous growth of the work of the Methodist Episcopal church among Afro-Americans will be brought prominently to the fore at the annual sessions of the Delaware and Washington conferences the first week in April. It will be the fifth annual session of the organization. "The Delaware conference, which is said to the oldest, was founded July 28, 1861. The Washington conference was founded in the same year. Previous to this there were no colored conferences, the colored churches belong under the supervision of white conferences. Following the organization of these two conferences and with the culmination of the civil war the denomination started to grow among the race in the south. There are about twenty conferences in this country and several abroad. Nearly two dozen schools and colleges and many ministers and other race leaders, along with more than 500,000 members, attest the great work that the denomination has and is doing for the race. There are also missions and schools maintained in Africa. The session of the Delaware conference will open at Zoar church, Philadelphia, April 3. The anniversary celebration will take place on Friday, April 4. Bishop Joseph F. Berry, who will preside over the conference, will bring the greetings of his denomination. Rev. Jehri Pierce, the only auraring founder, will tell of the early history of the conference. The Rev. C. A. Tindley of Calvary church, Philadelphia, will read an original memorial poem, while Mrs. Amor REY, DR. STUHL & JOLLEY. Jia Brinkley of Berlin, Md., will represent the women, and H. N. Wilson, a sorbent of Fairmount, Md., and delegate to five general conferences of his denomination, will represent the lairy. The Rev. J. H. Scott will give the historical address, which will be responded to by the Rev. N. M. Carroll of Annapolis, Md., one of the founders of the Washington annual conference. The celebration is in charge of a commission of ministers and laymen, as follows: The Rev. Storer S. Jolley, Cambridge, Md.; W. C. Butler, Montclair, N. J.; H. Herman, Milford, Del.; J. H. Scott, Philadelphia; J. R. Brinkley, Bristol, Md.; J. H. Blake, Centerville, M. W. S. Brown, Sumerville, Md.; J. H. Holland, Chester town, Md. and Messrs. W. F. Morgan, Philadelphia; Harrison Jenkins, Chest Rev. Dr. Jolley, president of the commission, is pastor of Waugh church, Cambridge, Md., a man of rare intellectual attainments, and a pulpit orator without a superior in this section of the country. He is in great demand as a lecturer and is prominently connected with the Maryland grand house of Knights of Pythia. He is a graduate of Morgan college. Dr. W. C. Jason, secretary of the commission, is a man of scholarly attainments. He is an alumnus of Allegheny college and Drew Theological seminary. He is president of the Delaware State college, the leading institution for the higher training of the race in Delaware. UPLIFT FOR RURAL SCHOOLS. Booker T. Washington Shows How to Do It Most Effectively. In large sections of the south the parents of most of our rural children are ex-slave folk, whose lives have been spent wholly on the farm, says Booker T. Washington. They know little about proper cooking or proper housekeeping and not much about rules of health. They have no idea as to how a home should be kept. Broken chairs, floors with holes in them, broken windows, leaky, roofs, soiled dishes and table linen—all these are about the child from infancy. Seeing this, it early became clear to us at Tuskegee that if we really wished to do dormant school work into the real life and for the uplift of the people something more than the abstract teaching of cube root and the conjugation of verbs must be imparted in the classroom. To solve the problem we hit upon this plan in Macon county, Ala. We determined that to be of the greatest service to the child, to combat his environment, we must not simply provide a special classroom, but must make everything surrounding the child serve as school. As an experiment we constructed a building on the order of our southern cottages, containing rooms for a family and in addition a large assembly room. We then secured a family, in which both parents were teachers, to live in the building. Following this, we made the understanding that every room in that house and everything about the house should be a schoolroom; that the front yard, the back yard, the stable, the horse, the cow, the garden and the little farm adjoining should have their place in the day's schedule of teaching. The dining room, the kitchen, the bedroom, are all open daily to these children, who are shown how to clean and keep them, actually doing the work. The girls of a certain grade take turns in doing the cooking. They leave home in time to prepare the morning meal for the teachers and family. This is served properly in the dining room, which has been set in order by another group of little girls, the aim being that all shall learn the best methods of doing things. All this is done under the vigilant eye of the mother teacher, who is thoroughly competent, having been trained at Tuskegee institute, mastering trades as well as academic work. The girls in the higher classes are taught cooking, but all the girls do gardening, housecleaning and sewing. The boys come more directly under the eye of the man of the house and care for the small farm and do in addition a certain amount of farm carpentry. CARLTON YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION. Brooklyn Institution's Good Work For Men and Boys. The Carleton avenue branch of the Young Men's Christian association, Brooklyn, recently hold a three night's entertainment from which it realized over $750. The literary program the first night included renditions by the well known Academy quartet and the Y. M. C. A. Guitar and Mandolin club and a magnificent clown drill by boys of troop No. 55. Boy Scouts of America. The program for the second night was given by the Spartan Girls' Athletic club, which has earned a city wide reputation for the high character of the literary entertainments provided by it. The last night, was given over to the high school boys of the Y. M. C. A. Spanish club, which produced an amusing farce comedy entitled "Balm For a Wounded Heret." The play was produced in English and was accompanied by superb minstrel features. This institution is arriving to meet a situation which exists and is being developed to meet this situation more completely. The branch has a membership of 221 men and is doing an organized work for seventy-five boys. Religious, educational and physical work is conducted successfully for men and boys. Musical clubs, physical clubs, a Bible class, etc., are maintained. Open house is kept every day and evening for men, especially for those who need companionship or encouragement. A fine troop of boy scouts is attached to the branch, and a room is provided for boys in the building. During the first nine months of the present fiscal year thirty-eight meetings for men have been held, with addresses by men who could instruct and insure. For boys, thirty-six meetings, each followed by a social, have been held. The employment department has furnished positions for 135 men and seventy-eight boys. A handsome new building costing $100,000 is in sight. The committee of management is putting to the fullest use the present building and equipment and asks from the general public support for the maintenance and development of the work. Mr. Ruffus M. Meroney of Texas is secretary of the association and Mr. Arthur L. Comither of Brooklyn is his assistant. They Wanted to Hear It. "Now, children," said the teacher, to her kindergarten class, "I want you all to be quiet, no quiet, in fact what you could hear a nin drop." Everything had quieted down nicely and the teacher was about to speak when a little voice in the rear of the schoolroom quaked forth, "Go ahead, please, teacher, and let her drop."—Fun. FEATURES OF THE COURSE. Booklet Containing Valuable Instruction For the Masses in Rural Communities Prepared by Miss Amelia A. Cooke, issued Frees—Demonstrations and Exhibits Given at the Institute. Hampton, Va.—A thirty-nine page bulletin on "Housekeeping and Cooking Lessons for Rural Communities" has been prepared for general distribution in the Hampton leaders series by Miss Amelia A. Cooke, who is in charge of the domestic science department at Hampton (Va.) institute. "A class in housekeeping and cooking gives the teacher a splendid opportunity to offer suggestions about the personal cleanliness and clothing of the pupil," says Miss Cooke in her suggestions to teachers. The housekeeping lessons cover sweeping and dusting, caring for table tops, lamps, the cooking store, dish- A. MISS AMELIA A COOKE. washing and soapmaking. General rules for cooking are given in clear cut English. Miss Cooke's bulletin for rural teachers and homemakers contains an excellent collection of recipes that are suitable for families having moderate incomes. Beverages, vegetables, soups, cereals, batters and doughs, eggs, oysters and fish, meats and diabes from leftovers, ples, candies. These are the classes into which the recipes fall. General rules for table setting, rules for waiting on table and dining room etiquette are also given. The final section is devoted to cookery for the sick. An index is printed with the pamphlet and makes possible the finding of all the useful material which Miss Cooke has carefully assembled. The Hampton leenders are now issued by Hampton institute four times a year. Any twelve may be obtained free of charge by any southern teacher or superintendent. The domestic science department of Hampton institute from time to time arranges interesting exhibits in glass cases so situated as to attract the attention of both students and visitors. The most recent exhibit is designed to present graphically to the students the evolution of foods, and to show visitors the methods and results of the work at Hampton. One case shows raw materials, such as ten, cocon, coffee, pepper and spice. Another case shows oils and lyses used in making soaps of different kinds and many other useful household necessities. A third case contains dried, preserved and canned fruits and vegetables. The last case is filled with the results of class work in the housekeeping and cooking courses and exhibits soap, orange and lemon extracts, baking powder, dry yeast, bread, custard and samples of biscuits shortened with the various shortenings, such as butter, lard, etc. NOTES ON. BEN BANNEKER. Southern Colored Man Who Invented Clock became Well Known Scientist. Benjamin Banneker was born Nov. 9, 1731, near Elliott Mills, Md. In 1770 he constructed a clock to strike the hours, the first to be made in America. From 1752 to 1858 he calculated and published annually Banneker's Almanac. He also assisted Major L'Enfant to lay out the streets of Washington, being quite proficient in knowledge of civil engineering. Banneker was also a member of the French Academy of Sciences, being made a member on the recommendation of Thomas Jefferson, who esteemed him highly for his scientific knowledge and who said in a letter to him asking the receipt of a copy of his almanac that "his race should have an opportunity to vindicate its color." Jefferson was a Democrat of high character. Sons of Veteran Annual Reception. The first annual reception of the General Robert Avery camp. No. 143. Sons of Veteran, New York, division United States army, will be held at Summer ball, Brooklyn, on Thursday evening, April 5. The occasion will afford a merry gathering of military men from many points in Greater New York. Charlotte, N. G.—There is a keen interest manifested by the Afro-Americans in this city for good literature. This unanimous mental activity is a conspicuous evidence of the trend of the race here to become influenced by great Christian agencies that have molded other progressive races. There are hundreds of public libraries throughout the southland, but Afro-Americans are denied the use of them for such knowledge as they might wish to obtain through book lore. One can readily appreciate existing conditions that have impeded the Afro-American's material advancement in the realm of good literature. The class of books that will inspire our youth is not so easily procured in many sections of the country, and because of such there is a mental degeneration in too many instances, and a poor conception of ennobling ideals is also the result. Hence it is quite obvious to the average member of the race to understand the motives of any race in giving its members such excellent opportunities for mental culture. The Carnegie library at Biddle university, this city, is a regenerating influence that is really proving our people's claim, which is just, to become an integral part of everything that is in direct touch with good influences. It is encouragingly true that the mature members of the race in Charlotte are exhibiting a remarkable disposition, which is also an indication of hope long deferred, to accept every opportunity given them by this good institution of learning which has molded hundreds of young men for a life of useful service. The library is equipped to meet the peculiar exigencies of a reading public that lives upon pure literature and was dedicated at the last commencement session of the university. The presidium that is himself fooling with the ghost of recent antipathy should visit the school and the library and see how the students and general public make use of the opportunity. Dr. H. L. McCroery, president of the university, and those assisting him in bringing Biddle up to its present standard of efficiency for the work of developing a race along the right lines are now the enclosures of the better element of both races in all sections of the country for giving our people such an excellent chance for self help. HOW TO RETAIN PHYSICAL ENERGY MOST IMPORTANT Summer Solstice In Life Comes at Thirty, Bays Dr. C. V. Roman. In an address to the Knights of Pythias of Tennessee not long ago Dr. C. V. Roman, the "image" of Nashville, Tenn., said in part as follows: "Physical energy is the basis of worldly success, and the primary need of our people today is to conserve their physical force. Our educated people must live long enough to pay back with interest the price of their education. "The college bred man who dies at graduation or soon thereafter dies in debt to society. If he dies through his own ignorance or carelessness he absconds without paying his board bill. He throws away other people's money." "Our successful men must live until their successors are qualified if we are to hold our own and advance. The thirtieth birthday marks the summer solstice of the average man's career. He should have at least thirty active years from that date to make and keep his rewards. "A high birth rate is not a full compensation for a high death rate. The energies of the race are exhausted in merely trying to live, and no strength is left for improvement. How much land could a farmer till if he broke fresh horses every morning? "He could make no headway even if the horses were given him, and a race that loses its prepared men and women prematurely cannot find compensation for the less in a high-birth rate. The drain must be stopped. How? By teaching our people to utilize all available opportunities to improve their physical condition. One illustration will suffice. "Davidson county, Tennessee, has built a modern tuberculosis hospital, equal accommodations for colored and white. Although there are more deaths among the colored than among the whites from tuberculosis, there are fewer colored patients at the hospital than whites. "The average colored person stricken with tuberculosis would rather remain a burden to his relatives and finally die than go to the hospital and get well. "To enlighten our people along these lines is a great opportunity. Let us hope that our fraternal leaders may see that 'the good of the order' consists in embracing promptly this opportunity." Virginia Baptist State Convention. The forty-sixth annual meeting of the Virginia Baptist state convention will be held at Hampton, Va., in the Queen Street Baptist church, Rev. Dr. Thomas H. Short, pastor, beginning on Wednesday, May 14. The Rev. Dr. R. H. Bowling, president of the convention, is rapidly recovering from a severe illness of several months. Dr. Bowling is urging the members of the convention to work zealously to raise the amount needed for missions and education by the time the convention meets. Be Generous of Him "No poor old Jobson has failed. Too bad! He promised me something yesterday, just now in his trouble I won't hold him to it." "That's very generous of you. What was it?"

NAS MANY UNIQUE FEATURES Purpose, of Board of Education More Than Realized in Efficient Group of Instructors Headed by Professor J. M. Marquese — Wireless Telegraphy and Music Given Special Attention. Kansas City, Kan.—One of the best high schools in the country for the training of the boys and girls of the race is the Summer high school, located in this city. This splendid institution is attended by 247 boys and girls, who are preparing for usefulness in life. It has been the aim of the school board, headed by the superintendent, to secure the best trained men and women as instructors. At the head of the school is one of the leading educators of the country, Professor J. M. Marquese, a native of Helena, Ark. where he got his foundation at the Helena normal school, and from there to Fisk university, where he graduated with the degree of bachelor of arts in 1902; thence to Dartmouth college, where he pursued a higher course. From the schoolpup the young man was then fitted to start life. So right into the schoolroom he wont again, not as a student, but as an instructor. There is always a place for a well prepared man or woman. Professor Marquese' first work was at Shorter college, North Little Rock, the same year he completed his work at Dartmouth. Two years he worked at this school, rendering good service and making his mark as a teacher. A man must get a foothold somewhere, so Professor Marquese did not overlook the little things in life, but each opportunity was used to render service for his people. It was in 100G that he heard the call from Kittrell college and packed up and moved there to continue work, remaining there but two years, when he was extended the call to the Sun- PROFESSOR J. M. MARQUES. ner high school. Feeling that it was an opportunity to do some real work for his people, Professor Marques accepted. Taking hold of the school in 1008, he found 178 pupils and eight teachers. "Advancement" was his motto, and soon there was an increase in pupils and teachers. The school now has 247 pupils and twelve teachers, with the prospect of an increase in the number in 1814 and another building. The Summer high school work has been steadily on the increase from every viewpoint until today it is well equipped, doing work like that of some of the colleges elsewhere. A graduate of this school is accepted by the University of Kansas without examination, also by other schools in Iowa and Nebraska, and it is now in line for such recognition by the University of Chicago. The domestic science department is second to none, and in connection with it is a lunch room seating 120. One of the best teachers in domestic science in the country has full charge, and the girls are rendering good service. Professor Marquess has reorganized the departments of English and physical sciences, bringing about better results, and the department of manual training has been enlarged. One of the features emphasized is the department of music, vocal and instrumental. It is an entertainment at any time to hear the children sing. There are some fine voices in the school. It is the only school in the country for the training of the race with a wireless station, and this is taught the young people, thereby preparing them for a new field. They are kept busy receiving and sending wireless messages. Teachers are trained in the normal trained department, and those, who graduate are given the first choice of positions in the schools, starting them in on a salary of $00 a month, and working up to the higher position. Thus far every graduate has been given a position. So Kansas is providing for its citizens, and the young men and women through the example of Professor J. M. Marquess and others are inspired to study and prepare for usefulness in life. INDUSTRIAL CONDITIONS. Game Factors Concerning New York Afro-Americans Wage Conditions.

George Edmund Haynes discusses most ally in his study in economic progress. "The Negro at Work in New York City," published in the Columbia university "Studies in History, Economics and Public Law." Dr. Haynes is the director of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes. New York, and professor of social science in FliK university, Nashville, Tenn. In his studies dealing with Afro-American wage earners in New York city he collected a valuable set of facts relating to the Afro-American population, the general condition of wage earners, among them occupations, wages and efficiency of breadwinners. Dr. Haynes in his search for the truth tried to link his enthusiasm of reform with reliability of knowledge. With clearness and rare skill Dr. Haynes shows that members of the race have moved into the cities for very much the same reason that white people during the past two or three decades have left the will and gone into the commercial and industrial centers. Indeed, the Afro-American, bearing the call of higher wages, has left his home in the country to face most trying conditions in the city. On account of insultary conditions which prevail in the city settlements the death rate of the city Negro has been unusually high. Then, too, city Afro-Americans, through no fault of their own, have been compelled, through economic pressure, to live in neighborhoods into which rice has been allowed to come without much municipal interference. The bad effects of this situation, especially among growing boys and girls, cannot be adequately measured. "A large number of Afro-Americans are employed in occupations of domestic and personal service," says Dr. Haynes. "This is partly the result of a prejudice on the part of many white workmen and employers, compiled with the inefficiency of Negro wage earners for competition in occupations requiring a higher order of training and skill." Dr. Haynes has made a real contribution to current literature dealing with the mce problem. He has employed a sound method of securing a variety of facts on a limited topic. His conclusions are most same and suggestive. WHY AFRO-AMERICANS ARE LEAVING THE SOUTHLAND Economic Conditions and Presence of Certain Perils Principal Causes. In an article recently published in the Philadelphia Public Ledger Mr. Henry W. Wilbur gives the following as some of the reasons why the colored people are leaving the rural districts of the south in such large numbers. Mr. Wilbur says: Whatever may be thought about some of the special pleading at the Lenten meeting in Holy Trinity church the other day the opinion expressed that the Negroes should remain in the south and mally on the soil is sound. But the matter needs some explanation and will have to be more carefully studied than it has been before the point of real elucidation is reached. At the present time there is an exodus of Negroes from the rural districts along two lines of outlet-first, from the agricultural districts of Dixie to the southern cities, and, second, from corresponding sections to the already congested commercial centers in the north. The natural question is, Why should there be any exodus at all? It must be remembered, however, that the Negro emigrates in obedience to the same motives which took the Israelites out of Egypt and brought the Portians and Quakers to America. That motive was and is a very living desire for an improved condition. It may be taken for granted that this exodus cannot be stopped by mere preachments. The Negro will not be kept on the soil unless the causes which lead to his leaving are removed. In the absence of proper economic inducements and in the presence of certain perils and persecutions the most energetic Negro will leave many of the agricultural regions of the south on the first opportunity. The whole case is not covered when we talk about educating the Negro. The whites also need educating. In using this word we mean family more than the removal of literacy, but rather the education both practical and so humane that the representatives of both sides think as they are and so their prospective. Hawks and the Vixter in Bookbasket Game. The championship basketball game played twenty between Howard university and the Monticello Athletics of Iittalburgh at Manhattan casino, in New York, was an interesting contest. The Monticello started in by making a foul goal, but Howard, came quickly to the front and held the lead throughout the game. The first half of the contest resulted in the score of 11 to 5 in Howard's favor. At the end of the hostilities the score was: Howard, 33; Monticello, 17. Relton Henry, who saw the game, says that Howard's star player shot forth with a collective radiance and perched on a peg at the head of the championship faternity. Imitation Diamonds No imitation of the diamond is so brilliant as the skillfully cut piece of the kind of lead glass known in the trade as "paste." The play of color in these counterfeits is often very beautiful, but the glass "diamond" possesses no luster, this term being applied to the light reflected from the top surface of the gem. The flashes of light and color that give brilliance come from the interior, being thrown from the rear surface of the stone. The glass diamond is soft and is attacked chemically by a number of things with which it comes in contact by wear, for both of which reasons it soon becomes dulled. - Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post.

CITY UNDER MARTIAL LAW Forty Thousand Persons Must Be Fed and Sheltered For a Week and 20,000 For a Longer Period. Investigations tended to confirm the estimates of fewer than 500 deaths in the goods that swept over a score of cities in Ohio and Indiana last week. As the waters receded from Dayton, Columbus and other places, leaving a thick conting of mud, alarm was caused by a rapid rise of the Ohio and the Mississippi rivers, inundating parts of cities along their banks. There is not much danger of loss of life in these places, however, as the inhabitants have bills to flee to and are used to floods. Revised reports indicate that the number of drowned in Dayton may not exceed 10, although there are those who say the number will be much greater. The death list at Piquan, Ohio, fell off from the estimate of fifty to twelve known dead Conditions In Dayton. With the water in the flooded rivers rapidly falling to their normal stage, Dayton, Ohio, has a tremendous task on hand. The officials say the death list will not reach 500, while those in charge of the morbous estimate the dead at 250. Other equally familiar with the situation, especially those active in the rescue work and the search for bodies, insist that the number of dead will not exceed 150. Here is the problem presented to Dayton, as summarized by George P. Burha, secretary to Governor Cox, and representing the latter in Dayton: Forty thousand persons must be fed, clothed and housed for a weak more. Twenty thousand persons must be cared for indefinitely. These are persons who lost their all when their household goods were swept away. They must be provided with a few necessary household articles, such as bedding, pots and pans, stoves and a few dollars. A half million dollars could be used in this way by the relief committee. Fifteen thousand houses and other structures, or what remains of them, must be pulled down. Thousands of tons of debris must be removed. Following are some of the accomplishments since the flood broke over Dayton: The water works pumping station is in operation, but the distribution of water is greatly refarded by open pipes in wrecked houses. The pressure is feeble, but growing stronger as leaks are checked. The main sanitary sewer is in operation, although many of the laterals leading from houses are clogged with mud and backed up water. By order of Governor Cox the reign of martial law over Dayton was extended to take in the whole county. The flood did more than sweep away property, for it swept away the city administration, temporarily at least, and brought in what amounts to a commission form of government. Hundreds of persons still looking for relatives, passed along the lines at the morgues, fearing they should find their loved ones there. Only a few bodies have not been identified. Emerging From Flood. As in other Ohio cities conditions in Columbus as a result of the Scioto river floods have been greatly exaggerated. The death list will run from 75 to 100 in all probability. The property loss will exceed $1,000,000. The water has reached to a point where nearly all the inhabitants of the hundred sections, whose homes were not completely destroyed, may return to them. The district affected embraces a large extent of territory to the west, and southwest of the state house, where mostly working people live. Hundreds of homes were swept from their foundations and some were carried down the river. The floods will require the rebuilding of thousands of other houses. The diner residences and business sections escaped damage. Thousands of people were taken from perilous positions and hundreds of herole rescue are reported. Sixty-five Dead In Indiana. Sixty-five lovers are known as lost in the Indiana floods, which have almost disappeared in the central portion of the state, but still threaten Evansville and the smaller cities along the Ohio river. Verified reports show that fifty six persons were drowned and four are known to have died from exposure. Flood devastated Indiana cities reported, authentically, wealth lattes as follows: Peru, 20, Brookville, 16; Fort Wayne, 6; Terre Haute, 4; Washington, 4; Frankfort, 2; Logansport, 1; Live Wire Story From a Live Wire Play Hawthorne of the U. S. A. Novelized by Albert Payson Terhune From the Great Play of the Same Name by James Bernard Fagan Every one should read how a young American saves a tottering European kingdom and wins the hand of a princess. Rushville, 1; Muncle, 1; West Indianapolis, 5; Lafayette, 1; New Castle 1; East Mount Carmel, 1; Shelburn, 1; Peru and Brookville death lists are those of drownings, but two deaths at Terre Haute, one at Fort Wayne and the only verified fatality in West Indianapolis followed exposure suffered by the refugees. Undoubtedly the list will be more or less extensively augmented during the next few days, indications being that the river channels still buried by high waters hold some bodies. Thus far there are fifteen known dead from the flood in Chillicothe, O. The waters have receded, but the afflicted districts are badly in need of relief in the form of food and clothing. The looting problem is one of difficulty for the authorities. Notwithstanding their efforts much looting was reported. The town of Richmond, having a population of 250 inhabitants, was literally wiped from the map. Jesse Brandon, who was plowing in a field, was swept away and rrowned. Ten other lives weer lost in the village and vicinity. Near Omega, a few miles south of Chillicothe, Mr. and Mrs. Hatfield and seven children weer drowned when their home, barn and all their other buildings were swept down before the rapidly rising waters. Piqua Slowly Recovering. Pliqua, O. is slowly recovering from the flood, said to have cost fifty lives and hundreds of thousands of dollars' property damage. West of Main street the town is again normal, but East Pliqua, a residence district around which the Miami river curves, and over which the flood waters surged, is a tangle of demolished houses.

INVESTIGATING DEPARTMENT, Room 7, 166 Lawrence St., Brooklyn N. Y. Norfolk, Va., Feb. 1, 1913. To the Brotherhood of the Virginia Baptist State Convention— Dear Co-workers: There remaineth yet three months in which to make preparation for the Forty-sixth Annual Session of our Great Convention which is to meet in the historic city of Hampton, with the Queen St. Baptist Church, Dr. Thomas H. Short pastor, Wednesday after the second Lord's day in May, and it is hoped that we will be able to report the greatest year's work of our history but in order to do this it is necessary that we begin now an aggressive campaign, arousing the people and interesting them for the work of our Convention, is a work for the people by the people. First of all I thank the Blessed Lord for my present condition. I have passed through a terrible ordeal. He brought me, as it were to death's door, but I waited patiently and he has delivered me from the grave. Physically I feel practically well. My greatest trouble now is from nervousness and this I think is well under control. The Star of Hope still hangs before me and I feel that the Lord will spare me to do further service for his Kingdom. The many letters of sympathy that I received from the brethren during my illness and the interest manifested were a source of much consolation and I assure you all, that they were greatly appreciated. CHANGES. I notice that several of our brethren have changed fields during this conventional year and I regret that some of them have left the State, but this need not work any ill to our Convention nor the principle for which it stands for we realize that neither membership nor interest in our Convention is limited to Virginia but we look with pride, to our brothers, both North and South who delight in the work that was so dear to our Fathers. Two special features claim our attention this year, viz., Foreign Mission and Education, Dr. L. G. Jordan, Foreign Mission Secretary, is continually making appeals for fund to further prosecute the foreign mission work. Let thoro be no falling off in interest. Our brothers and sisters across the waters are groping in darkness, ignorance and sin hungering and thirsting for the word of life. Let's not forget them. Our Foreign Mission Board has moved its headquarters from Louisville, Ky. to Philadelphia, Pa. and this should not only serve as a convenience to us but as an incentive to greater effort. EDUCATION. Our school at Lynchburg is in splendid condition. Dr. Wood is indeed bringing things to pass. Its greatest need is more money not to bring the school up, but to keep it abreast with the times. Dr. Wood has injected in the work the progressive idea and this must be lived up to by the use of modern conveniences and improvements throughout the buildings and grounds. I appeal, therefore, to the constituency of the Convention. Let's march on to Hampton prepared to meet the situation for we are well able. I write unto you fathers because you have known from the beginning. I write unto you young men because ye are strong and the word of God abldoth in you, not only so, but providentially the Lord has so distributed you that you have become the special representatives of the State. Drake and others at Harrisonburg, Hubbard at Bedford City, Wynn at Crew, Austin at Staunton, Boll at Lynchburg, Jones at Newport News, Moses at Danville, Brown at Petersburg and others at Roanoke, Char lotterville and in the best city and country churches in the state and our big hearted Graham and Hall with their associates in the North will play their part as they have always done. Let the entire brotherhood rally to the flag. The Battle Cry is Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000). Every individual who gives as much as one dollar will have their name appear in our minutes. Trusting that I shall see you all at Hampton I am as ever. All representatives to the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pyllas which will meet in Newport News, Va. in June, 1913, will please communicate with District Deputy Grand Cancellor C. G. Davis, 617-27 st. St., Newport News Va. or W. F. Clarkson, 753 Hampton Avenue, Newport News, Va., Chairman of Home Committee. Do You Know Them? Denver, Colo., Jan. 24, 1913. To Whom It May Concern, or the Pastor of the Church: Dear Sir: I am trying to locate a Mrs. Vicky Powell or some of her children. I wish to inform them about her son, Daniel Laurence Powell. If you can find any relatives of Daniel L. Powell in Richmond, Va. please let them communicate with me immediately. I know his relatives live in Richmond but I don't know their addresses.
