PIANO Senator Says Colored Men Are More Desirabble so Critics Than Mikado's Men. Washington, Feb. 5.—The Senate indulged in a debate this afternoon that, was suggestive of ante-bellum days when the Smith-Lever bill providing for Federal aid for college extension work in connection with agricultural colleges was up. Senator Jones of Washington had an amendment pending providing in a general way that none of the appropriation should be available for any State which discriminated against the Negro. He read a statement which tended to prove that Negroes came out of slavery in a helpless condition, but that they had made remarkable progress since. This statement stirred several Southern Senators to action. The conditions of slavery days were reviewed and there were as many "thrills" and "sobs" as in a production of "Uncle Tom's Cabin." Senator Jones insisted that the conditions of the Negro in slavery were bad, while Senator Martin and Senator Vardaman argued that they were far better off in slavery than they had been since they were liberated. Senator Vardaman suggested that Senator Jones was addressing the Senate from a "profundity of misinformation" on the Negro question. WOULD OPPOSE THE JAPANESE He naked Senator Jones whether or not he would be willing to have the Japanese on the tee Pacific coast administer the education funds carried by the bill. Mr. Jones replied that the Japanese are not citizens of the United States and said that he would certainly oppose allowing the Japanese to administer the funds. "Are not the Japanese the equals of the Negroes in those qualities that go to make good citizens?" inquired Senator Vardaman. "I do not think they are," replied Senator Jones. "Then I have nothing further to say," replied Mr. Vardaman, curtly. "I consider it a waste of time for me to try to argue with a man who refuses to concede that the Japanese have qualities that would make them the equal of the Negro in citizenship." Senator Martin of Virginia explained that the Negroes were better understood by men of the South and that the Northern Senators had so little knowledge of the Negro character that they were not an competent to deal with the Negro problem as Senators from the Southern States who were "born in the midst of Negroes and had grown up surrounded by a Negro population." TELLS OF NEGROES IN THE NORTH. Senator Sherman of Illinois inquired whether or not the Senator from Virginia realized that some of the Senators from the Northern States represented a larger Negro constituency than Senators from the South. Senator Lane of Oregon, a Democrat, remarked that he had read somewhere that the Negro farmers of the South were the most advanced agriculturists in the Union. Senator Hoke Smith asserted that this was "preposterous" and waved Senator Lane aside with the suggestion that he declined to be interrupted for such statements. Senator Vardaman insisted that the proposal of Senator Jones to turn the educational fund of the agricultural colleges to the Negroes was like an offer "to guide a man through a powder magazine with a lighted torch." He said that Senator Jones did not realise what an injustice he was doing the Negro race. Manasota, Va., Feb. 7.—The Manasota Industrial School for Colored youths is left the sum of $5,000 in the will of the late Mrs. Frances A. Hackley, head of the boys' school at Tarrytown, sled at White Plains, N. N., yesterday. A similar amount is left to Boren College, Kentucky, Pitt Dedlingham School, Calhoun, Va., and Port Valley Industrial School, Georgia. The Pennsylvania Universalist congregation and the Church of the Monahat of New York City, are each left $5,000. The value of the estate is said to be over $1,000,000. Resolution of Respect to Heroes and Heroes of Steamer Monroe. New York, Feb. 7, 1914. To the Relatives And Friends of the Heroes and Heroines of The Unfortunate Steamer Monroe: At a regular session (hold Feb. 1, 1914) of Equity Congress, a civil body of colored citizens of New York City who meet every Sunday after noon for the purpose of public education, along civic, political and racial lines, by an unanimous vote. I was instructed to convey to you, through public print, the heartfelt sympathy of the members of said Equity Congress, at the most unfortunate and wholly untimely taking away of those colored men and women who so nobly and courageously went to death faithfully performing, and not only the duties for which they were paid by the Steamship Company, but in the sacrifice of their own lives, while saving others from death, they performed the highest duty that could be performed. On that dreadful night January 30, 1914, when the steamer Nantucket destroyed the Steamer Monroe, near Norfolk, Virginia, but for the courage and wonderful service, rendered by colored men and women many more white people would have been destroyed than were. In the performance of that wholly unselfish and most Christian-like duty, again, members of our race exhibited the fact that among the most noble of human beings are people of African blood and descent. In your personal loss, we mourn with you and we also heartily praise the bravacity and true courage of members of our race. In behalf of Equity Congress, I beg to submit these words of sorrow and sympathy. Yours truly, D. E. TOBIAS, Chairman of Special Investigating Committee. Leeburg (Va.) Personals. Mr. Harpison Russell of Washing- ton visited our town on Saturday. Mr. Will Gibson is on the sick list. Mrs. Ellen Simma was in aid to rest on Saturday, February 7th. She was one of our old respectable citizens and died February 5th, a devout Christian, age 74 years. She leaves six children and a host of friends to mourn their loss. Funeral was held at Mount Zion M. E. Church. Prayer was offered by Dr. E. D. Tyler. Scripture read by Rev. William Slidney. Rev. J. E. Dotson, who preached the sermon took for his text 2nd Timothy, 4-7. "I have fought a good fight. I have finished my course. I have kept the faith." He preached the subject, Power. The Prayer Meetings are taking on new life at the Baptist Church. Last Wednesday night the people turned out nicely. Come out and help us to pray for souls that are dying. Sunday, February 5th, was Pastor Tyler's day. He mounted the stand at eleven o'clock. Text, Matt. 16-26. "For what is a man profited if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul. Subject, Gain and Lost. It was a masterpiece. Strong in his deliberations. We had some strangers to visit us during the day. At 2:30 the Sunday School was called to order by our Supt., Brother William Roberts. Quite a number had gathered to hear the lesson on Light and Darkness. At eight A clock, Pastor was at his post. He took for a text, Daniel 12-1. "And at that time the people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book, Subject, The Book of Life. A strong sermon. It seemed that the Lord was in His Holy Place. The Spirit ran high all day. The pastor preached with burning zeal, our spirits caught the fire. It seemed upon celestial wings, our souls were wafted higher. The Holy Spirit came and by it we were led. Our souls did richly feast upon the Heavenly bread. The Choir sweetly sang, the music upward rolled. It seemed as if the Heavenly choir had struck their harps of gold. Rising Sun Club No. 5, met Thursday evening, February 5th at Mr. George Helms. Opened by singing 534, Only Remembered; Scripture reading by Miss Baltimore, 5th chapter St. Matthew; Prayer by the president, Brother George Helms. They then went into business.

Stirrup, the International President and Senior President will and need to run only Sunday, "A Bible/Worship," "Men from everywhere," and "sunday service." 8:00 P. K. Stirrup, Pastor Mr. Minor's Views: Charlottesville, Va., Feb. 9. '14. Mr. John Mitchell, Jr. Dear Editor: Please allow me a small space in your columns for a few words on our condition. "I've read and re-read Dr. B. T. Washington's discourse, "How to Succeed and How Not to Succeed With Negro Labor," and tried to digest the whole thing, for I think it a perfect gem of its kind. Every thinking colored man in the South, I know, congratulates the Dr. and cherishes the earnest hope of witnessing (as a result of his effort) a more humane relation between the white and colored people of our country in the near future. Every colored man in the country should volunteer as Dr. Washington's lieutenants to carry on this indispensable work. For after all that has been said and done by him, other good men of the Race and right-thinking and kindly disposed white men and women, all over the country; every few days the news-papers bring, the sad and sickening tidings of bloodshed and murder of colored men by white men, which can't help but to create dissatisfaction, apprehension, and unrest among; thinking colored people all over the Southland, to say the least. Men guilty of crime, be they white or black, should be punished by the law of the land, otherwise we are all unsafe. The writer would ad vice the colored people to help the white people all they can and if they can't help them, see to it, that they don't hinder them. You help them all for 250 years. You can't do as much now, but do what you can, serve them faithfully give him set service and full measure, as self respecting men and women, bearing in mind that every one has a part to perform in bottering existing state of affairs. We appreciate most highly the at titude the Richmond Times Dispatch takes towards us, and pray that its numbers may increase. Youra most sincerely. RIVES C. MINOR. Colored Church hurts; Worshippern Escape. Ranooke, Va., Feb. 9.—Fire Sunday morning destroyed High Street Baptist Church (colored) and wrecked the parsonage next door, entailing a loss of $50,000. The fire was one of the most serious that has visited this city in years, and was discovered a few minutes after the Sunday morning service had begun. The auditorium was filled with the congregation, but every one got out and there was no panic. The building was erected in 1907 at a cost of $47,000. Insurance on the church amounted to $20,000. The property aflohning the church was damaged to the extent of $2,000. The church was the second largest colored church in the State. High Street Baptist Church of Roanoke, Destroyed By Fire. Sunday, February 8th, under a beautiful sky, when the conditions were favorable indeed for church going and an audience of splendid proportions had gathered to hear the Gospel: just after the melodious strains of the choir had died out and I arose to preach, what proved to be a destructive conflagration was discovered. As God, our Gracious Father, would have it, no one was infured. The weather having been very cold preceding Sunday, the water plugs were frozen and though the fire companies were on hand, before the water could be turned on the fire was so far advanced, that its ravages could not be checked. What was before a moderately constructed edifice at a cost of $40,000, was completely depoiled, only ruins are left to tell the sad story. The structure was one of the most beautiful, convenient and commodious in the State. $25,000.00 had been paid leaving an indebtedness of $15,000. The insurance was only $20,000. My congregation has been and now is, one of great loyalty, faithfulness, perseverance and Christian endurance. We have responded to the roll call of every National State and District body of our denomination, to all objections supported by the denomination, but at this time, brothers, we face a great discouragement. We are going to rebuild at once, but it will be, as you can appreciate, under trying circumstances. We need an encouraging word and a helping hand in this our regrettable condition.

Adverse Decision in Petersburg-Will Go to the Supreme Court—Trying to Harmonize Differences The protracted fight over the possession of the First Baptist Church of Petersburg, Va., better known as the Harrison Street Baptist Church has been again brought to public attention. Judge West has sustained the report of Commissioner James B. Price in favor of the contestants and against the body of communicants, who are supporting Rev. Ell Tartt, the present pastor. The decree was entered January 31, 1914. While the successful element was jubilant over the victory achieved, the feeling was marred by the announcement that Rev. Tartito's supporters had given notice of an appeal and the case would be carried to the Supreme Court. The additional cost will no doubt be in the neighborhood of five thousand dollars, but the defeated element seems willing to raise it. The fight has lasted already five years and it is safe to say that another year will elapse before the one of the trouble. Steps are being taken to harmonize the factions. Rev. Tarttie exercises a powerful influence over the congregation and should he lose the case on an appeal, there is but little doubt but what another large church edifice will be built in the city. The Harrison Street Baptist Church has been noted for its factional disturbances. Rev. C. B. W. Gordon, D. D. left there and erected a large church and Rev. E. Watts, D. D. withdrew and built one of the finest churches in Petersburg. --- BOARD PLANS TO SUPPLY DOCTORS. Health Authorities to Open Register to Assist Public in Precurring Physicians. Richmond, Va., Feb. 4. (Special) Impressed by the numerous requests it has received in recent months to supply physicians and to procure substitutes and assistants to aid private practitioners, the State Board of Health announced today the opening of a register in its office for the listing of physicians who wish to move and for the convenience of localities which stand in need of more doctors. Free access will be given this register by all inquirers and efforts will be made to prepare a complete list of those sections of Virginia where the needs of the public demand more physicians. "The Board has been surprised to find," says the weekly bulletin issued today, "that there is in Virginia no channel of communication between physicians, and the public except through the medical magazines. We recently received a request from a prominent physician of the State to furnish him a substitute during two months that he would be absent from home, and we found it practically impossible to get a man on short notice. "We have observed, also, that the physicians of the State are not distributed geographically either for the best service to the public or for their own advantage. In some communities there are more physicians than are needed, while in other districts there are not enough doctors to attend the sick. The Board believes that, for the convenience of the public, it should keep a record of those localities which need more doctors and should communicate a list of suitable openings to accredited inquirers. Other physicians wish, for personal reasons, to change their residence and should, we think, be given such information as we can gather." "Accordingly we ask physicians who wish to change their residence, physicians who need assistance or substitutes, and physicians who wish to enter practice in Virginia to send their names and a brief statement of their wishes to the office of the Board. In particular, we ask friends in communities where physicians are needed for the proper care of the sick to communicate with the Board and to explain their wants. If this be done, we hope within a few months to have a register which will be of service to the public, to the medical profession and of benefit to the better health of the people."

Address BANK, R. O. Box 798. Farmville (Va.) News. Farmville, Va., Feb. 10.—There is much rejoicing in the circle of K. of P's and Courts of Calanthe in this vicinity, over the recent decision of Supreme Court, convened in Washington, D. C., Jan. 30, 1914, which decision, so far, is in favor of the stand taken by John Mitchell, Jr., G. C. of Virginia and the Grand Lodge of Virginia. The contention of the Grand Lodge of Virginia and her chieftain is simply asking for justice. The brotherhood in Virginia to the man will stand by John Mitchell, because they believe he knows what to do, how to do and when to do, and is honest in all of his dealings.

THE WHIP An Exciting Tale of Love and Adventure Founded on the Great Play of the Same Name BERTRAND BABCOCK Copyright, 1912 by Cecil Raleigh and Hamilton by arrangement with the Drury Lane Company of America and Arthur Collins, managing director of the Drury Lane theater of London. SYNOPSIS Lady Diana, debarred from seeing a trial of the Whip. meets a handsome amateur artist near Lord Branaster's estate. He goes away with a strange dark woman whom Lady Dl instinctively dislikes Mrs. Beaumish is jealous of Tom Lambert. The Whip's traitor Captain Sartorius, Lady D's cousin, has an interest with Jerry Anson, sister of Jackie, who is jealous of Tom Lambert's more stable information about the Whip. Lord Branaster, the artist, is injured by an automobile accident. The strange woman, Mrs D'Aquila, visits his bedside. Lady Dl rejects Sartorius. Jockey Anson suspected of selling stable secrets about the Whip, warns that his own sister, Marie Isabel. Lord Branaster cannot remember the past. Sartorius also contends Rev. Veneral Halem, plus a love marriage between 'Branaster and Mrs D'Aquila'. Branaster and Lady Dl are in love. Mrs D'Aquila pretends to bet that she Lady Branaster, astonishing everybody. Lady Dl tells Branaster the Whip will win the Two Titans and Ginnie race. Branaster makes a colossal bet at big odds with Kelia, king of the boxmakers. Kelly forces Sartoris to plot the death or injury of Tino Whip, Lambert, to escape from Miss Buntleigh, poised as Dr Crippen in Saddam Tusahawai's work. Lambert overhears Sartoris and Mrs D Aquila plotting to have the Whip killed in railroad wreck encountered by Sartoris. Lambert finds himself locked in the chambers of Sartoris. Mrs D Aquila hears by telephone of the plot and saves the horse. Sartoris and Mrs D Aquila plan to have Jockey Anno attried and taken away just before the big race. Haisman confesses that the offered may rift between Lord Lambert and Mrs D Aquila was a foe. And Sartoris are creature of the sea with the loot of Lady Diana. I was only a few moments before the great Two Thousand Climber race. In the padlock one friend of Palombrah were listening to the self-congratulations of Lord Everley that in spite of all that had been done to prevent The Whip's starting, everything was now in realness. Harry Anson had been weighed in, and The Whip herself was pawing the turf, waiting for the tree to be called and for Harry to spring into the saddle. In anticipation of the effect the concession of Hastam would have upon the Marquis of Everley, Lady Diana and the Earl of Bramcester were openly enrolling together about the padlock, confident and hopeful, too that the big race would give Bramcaster a war fund against his enemies. Their greetings were cordial and happy. "It's all right," Sartoris told the woman joyfully. "You're a clever woman. Norm. The magistrate was a dear old person—most obliging—lawsed a warrant at once—said he would lock him up, too, if he could not find good ball—of course he will and then release him tomorrow." "I don't particularly care if they bail him tomorrow as long as you take him today," she said. "That's sure enough," answered the captain confidently. "The detective inspector and another chap came down with me. Luckily they don't know Anson by sight, so I have come to look for him, and I shall find him at exactly the right moment." Kelly, the "king of the ring," came up to Sartoris at this moment and with him stepped aside. "Anything to tell me?" he asked in a low tone. "Only-that you can give me the bill if you like," the other responded with a nonchalant air. Kelly appeared pleased. "You've done your best to earn it," he said, "but the job isn't finished, you know." "It will be very soon," put in the captain quickly, "I told you what I meant to do—the men are here." "Then hurry up, my lad," the bookmaker told him. "They will be mounted in a minute. Time's short and remember, if The Whip loses the bill and the money's yours, but if The Whip wins it goes to Lady Di. You know what's at stake on the race." Harry, Amor and Tom Lambert appeared leading The Whip. "We're just saddled, my lady." Lama bert said to Lord Beverley's grand daughter. "There given the bell! Anything to tell Harry!" Lady Diana carried The Whip while she answered: "Only this: Everything that wicked man could do has been done to stop our home, but she is safe. Now, for the honor of the colors. Go and ride your boat." With his hand on the jockey's shoulder, does the gagging cast added to the spurring speech of Lady Diana: "For you're carrying hearts and hopes today as well as fortunes. All England will cheer you when you win. Harry, and I shall be the first to shake you by the hand. In a few minutes it will all be over." "Yes, my lord, all over and" — beautiful Harry. But Sartoris had pointed to the jockey and the two sharp faced men had left the captain and were now at Harry's side. "Is your name Harry Anson?" demanded the first of these. "Yes," said the jockey, one foot in the stirrup. The man held out to him a revolver. "Is that your revolver? Your name's scratched on it," he said. "My revolver? Yes," said Anson wonderingly. "Found in the rooms of Captain Sartoris." "I— Harry James, missed, while the detective said briskly. "I'm sorry, but I must arrest you on a charge of having threatened the life of Captain Surratt at his chambers in the Albany on Saturday night. What ever you say may be used against you later on." "And I'll answer the charge," retorted Harry. "Let the whole world know the truth, after the race." "No, you must come now," said the detective. "Before the rays, asked the agonized Harry. "At once, he was told. Lord Branaster moved closely up to the two detectives. "I am Lord Branaster," he said. "I will go ball for anything you like, only let the lad title. Hang it,爱你, you are Englishmen. You are sportsmen. Give us Lord play. I take up my honor the lad's innocent. That is the my honor he shall answer to the charge. You don't know what this face means to all of us. Let him be." "I'm very sorry my boy! the detective answered, 'see you my boy! my boy! I'd like to but I can't. We must do our duty." And over the process of Bramstone Lord Ravelry did and thinned out of the stewards of the palace club the detectives put heavy bindings on the shoulders of Anne. Thimnate, who had been in official position at the track, added to being a steward tried to stay in the house. But, but it was the way, the boy we won't stand to believe it there I'm here. Bonham's here we're stars and, if the heels bother him who can ride the steward give him the colors. We will write the word out. He shall mount the horse. The parties to the investigation were now surrounded by a crowd of crowd, many of whom were heavily on the White and were terrestrial for it. God other reasons of pure sportsmanship to see the pride of the Leverstone stables start. Lady Diana pressed herself forward "Any one we name, Lord Clamore" she asked "Any one Lady you be responded gallantly. You shall be dressed at a time like this. The to-day will do what it blues." At this stage, speech the crowd cheered "Very well, then," said Lady Diana, her little sister, coached. "Please remember only two people can manage our horse. With a strange lad she's no use. You want to see Mr play—to see the pauper, who have backed us, have an honest run for their money. There's only one way. You promise whoever I name you'll let ride?" "Yes," returned Clamore and Denham, the two stewards. "I name myself," she said quietly. "Give me my colors." Denham and Clamore both protested that it was impossible, that it was unsafe, that it had never been done. "A girl has never ridden a race" end of Clamore. "Then let her now," the girl persisted. In their chivalric mood Clanmore and Denham might have consented to anything, but Kelly put a stop to this emotional mood and recalled to both Grancaster and Lady Diana the solid basis on which they had hoped to set their fortunes. "And if she does ride," he shouted, "the ring won't pay. It isn't racing." For a moment it seemed as though this ultimatum of the ring had indeed ended the whole matter, but Branacaster turned to the crowd of racing enthusiasts. "Then I will tell you what racing" he shouted in his turn. "You, all of you who have backed the horse—1 T "Give me my colors." will tell your what is racing—what is benny—what is in court, fair play. Will you want it and not yourselves rob- The crowd was watching fire at his invective. There were cries of "No. no no." "I have given my honor," he went on, still in his strong voice, "that the police shall take the lad the minute he past the post, but they say 'Not' What do you say? There's your jockey, and there's your horse. Let the lad go Will you lose your money, or will you follow me." And the young earl hurtled himself upon the nearer of the two detectives. He had nearly freed Anson when the mob realized what he was doing. In an instant they were about the two detectives. Despite the assistance of Kelly given to the detectives, they were busted from the paddock, while the jockey was fairly hurtled upon The Whip. The moment he felt the nervous horoscope between his knees he was off upon the course almost automatically. At a signal from Lord Chamnore who realised the necessity of haste the starting signal was given, and they were off. Now it seemed as though the events of the few minutes preceding the actual race had done their work with Anson. He was alive to his finger tips and never did his work better. The Whip, too, had profited by the long delay. Her nerves had been stretched to the breaking point, and she found the greatest relief in furious action just as her elder did. In her wonderful strike The Whip passed the reader and, half a length ahead of her, reached the post. Into the paddock role Anson, the victor, on The Whip. The jockey's face was white, and he was trembling violently. The race had told for more on him then on the splendid Whip, whose reservation was still even and regular, though, of course, considerably quirked. * The center of a cheering knot, Lady Diana and Bramster pressed toward The Whip, their arms around one another and their dignity as peer and marquis. You completely gone for the moment, you show the story of their courage and of what they had at stake on the race bed get about, and the erarly sentimental English were ready to weep or laugh with them—or do both in turn. The two detectives met Lord Beverley the Year The Whip. The one in authority had an open telegram in his hand. His phone demeanor showed that there was no information upon his part now of arriving the jockey. "My lord," he said very bumby to Beverley, "we've just had a wire from Scotland Vald. The warrant on your application has been issued." Beverley trapped strenuously upon his course, in Captain Sartoris, and Mrs. D'Aquila, where they stood in a corner of the paddock. "Then don't let them slip away," he said. "Affect them at once." The detectives seized Sartoris and Mrs. D'Aquila and moved out of the paddock. Then, unmobilized of all the crowd, Braunaster again put his arms about Lady Diana. "Now, what's this?" demanded the Marquis of Beverley. Lady Diana raised her blue eyes to her grandfather. "Well, I'll tell you all about it," she said, beginning a quick ritual. "Once there was a fine young man who was foolishly called by his people, who didn't know him, the Wicked Earl, but—" Negro Attacks Teacher as Pupils Watch William Moore, colored, entered the school room of Miss Mary Stromes, in Hanover township, near Wilkes-Barre, Pa., and while fifty frightened pupils looked on he attacked the young woman. After a fierce battle Miss Stromes successfully fought off her assailant and her pupils fled from the building to spread the alarm. Moore was arrested and taken before Alderman Frank Rowe, in Wilkes-Barre, who committed him to jail without bail. Shortly after school had opened for the day, the door opened and in came Moore. He rushed at the teacher and threw his arms about her waist. She began to claw his face and arms and screamed to the children to run for their lives. As she fought she continued to cry for help and when Policeman James Evans saw the children fleeing from the building he rushed into the school room. Moore made a break for a door at the sight of the policeman, but Miss Stromo held him fast after a great struggle until the policeman arrived. Mother and Daughter Held For Murder Mother and Daughter Held For Murder Charged with the murder, fourteen months ago, of Floyd Keller, Mrs. Z. da Keller Gerhold and her mother, Mrs. Rouben Ricker, were arretrie- and committed to prison in Chamber burg, Pa., without bail. The first named woman was Kler- k's wife, and since his death she ma- ried Gerhold. Keller, a prosperous farmer, died the night of Nov 29, 1912, and ien chm- tal analysis developed that the stom- ach contained enough poison to kill four men. The case was surrounded with mystery until letters written by Mrs. Keller so, Isaac Heckman came to light. When arrested Mrs. Gerhold ex- claimed: "Isaac Heckman poisoned my husband. I saw him do it. Why is he not arrested, too?" This charge she repeated several times, and she was very bitter in her depreciation of the man for love of whom, it is alleged, she gave her hus- band poison.

MUTILATES MAN WHO ATTACKED WIFE Doctor Says He Returned Home and Found Music Teacher. When Dr. Martin E. Griffith, a prominent physician of Monroe, Pa., recording home interviews, he says that he found A. M. Robertson, a Pitt-borough music teacher, attacking Mrs. Griffith. With one blow, he says, he knocked him to the floor, then shaken him with a knife. Robertson is in the Charleroi Monroe area, where he was taken in an ambulance and to have been ordered to Dr. Griffith to be in a sergeant's station but will recover, a gardener to Dr. Griffith, who is watching his son Illen, not injured for life. The court paralels to many respects the far more vulnerable in Omaha, Neb., when we see any packer wobbled a tilt on an intruder in his home. One of the remarkable features of this meet counsel case is that Dr. Griffith is about fifty years old, his wife about forty-five and Robertson is said to be very five. "Yes, I lost him," declared the doctor in a blooming voice, squaring his broad shoulders, when asked what had occurred. "I have nothing to hide; I am sorry it happened, but I am glad that it is a gift. It is a wonder it was not worse." The Doctor and Mrs. Griffith have grown-up children, one of whom is Jesse, a twenty-year-old boy, who is a student in the University of Pittsburgh. No arrests have been made in the case, and Chief of Police John Wheatley, of Monmouth, declared that there would be none until Robertson gets well enough to attend to it or to express his desire to have some person in authority make one.

Institution Situated In the Heart of a Densely Populated Section of Mississippi Is Meeting the Needs of the Masses In a Practical Way Through Extension Work. Jackson, Miss.—Of the 10,000,000 colored people in the United States 1,075,000 are in the state of Mississippi. The significance of this fact is hard to appreciate until one travels over the state getting well out from the towns and railroads. Jackson college, situated near the geographical center of this state, is working along lines and devising plans primarily to meet the needs of this people. These efforts are not necessarily heralded abroad, but they are, nevertheless, deeply laid plans and will mature. In the first place the college authorities realize that the larger life of this people cannot be touched directly by it; that it must be the work of the hundreds of boys and girls who go from this school out among the masses. While it is a missionary school, it feels AFTER HALL, JACKSON COLLEGE that by po means is it sufficient now to graduate boys and girls with a mere sense of their obligations. Added to this there should be developed a certain leadership power based upon personal initiative and actual experience. To the end that this may be acquired students at the college are encouraged in the formation of organizations which they control, and various enterprises to be handled by them. In the way of making headway at teaching a night school is operated at the college which affords opportunity for men and boys of the city who must work in the day. This school is conducted by students, and so far with marked success. The college community has also organized a self supporting kindergarten, to which the advanced students have access for inspection and practice work. In addition to the usual literary and debating student organizations, a Young Men's Christian association carries on an extension work in the neighborhood by furnishing teachers to the various Sunday schools. Here actual work of the leader and teacher is had. This organization also maintains a room for amusement of its members looking to the needs of the social life. The physical exercises and athletics for boys and girls are directly under the management of student organizations. The planning for and financing of these various games call for the exercise of executive and business ability. Football, baseball, basketball and lawn tennis are all handled in this way. These are only a few of the ways in which the student is given an opportunity to develop along some line into an individual. If he is to be a leader there is no very good reason why he should not develop signs in his college community. The college authorities feel that the success attending these efforts thus far warrants not only their continuance, but material enlargement. Cheering Words From Bishop Greer. Bishop David H. Greer is giving splendid encouragement to the work of the sight schools in the south for Afro-Americans under the auspices of the American Church Institute. In a recent speech Dr. Greer said: "I have so much confidence in the capacity of the Negro to solve his own problem and so much interest in his welfare that if I were a younger man I would give up my episcopal office and give all my years and all my time to this work of the American Church institute."

Alexander L. Jackson, class orator at Harvard university, was born in Englewood, N.J., March 1, 1901, the son of hard working parents. His father died a few years ago; his mother still lives in Englewood, where she is self supporting and much respected. As a youngster Alexander did anything he could to earn money. He has sold newspapers, worked as a chauffeur and as a store clerk, tended furnaces, waited on table, tutored and tried his hands at many kinds of labor.

He entered Harvard in 1910, receiving the Price Greenleaf scholarship. He was a member of the freshman track team and varsity track team burden for three years and has won the varsity letter five times. His latest honor was his election as orator of the class of 1911. Speaking of his purpose in the future, Mr. Jackson says: "I intend to devote my life to the education of my race. I have specialized in education, English, economics and German with that end in view. I am also much interested in sociology and settlement work. I believe that the uplift of the colored man, like that of any one else, must come through education. As a boy I was impressed with that fact. I owe my earliest inspirations to Miss Lillian F. Hoover of Liberty school, Englewood, and I will never forget her kindly interest in me when I was her pupil." GEORGE R. CRAWFORD DIES.

MAGIC SHARPEN BRUSH COMPANY, MINNESOTA The Flag. On June 14, 1777, the Continental congress resolved that the flag of the United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white, and that the Union be thirteen white stars on a blue field. On Jan. 13, 1794, by an act of congress, the flag was altered to fifteen red and white stripes and fifteen stars. On April 4, 1818, congress again altered the flag by returning to the original thirteen stripes and fifteen stars, as the adding of a new stripe for each additional state would soon make the flag too large. A new star is added to the flag on July 4 following the admission of each new state.—New York American Old Laws There still exists in London a bylaw which forbids a cask of beer to be unbound between certain hours, but no mention is made of casks containing any other liquor.

Witty Savings. W. S. Gilbert said of Beerbohm Tree's Hamlet that it was "funny without being coarse." During an Englishman's lecture in New Haven the usher said to a late comer: "Please, sir, take your seat as quietly as possible. The audience is asleep." A Philadelphia woman said: "Of course, there will be no marriage in heaven. There will be plenty of women there and a few men, but none any one would care to marry." Too Clever. "Anything specially interesting about the chap?" "Yes, indeed. He's our leading exponent of the new dances. Took lessons from two acrobats and a contortionist." "He must be keen busy." "On the contrary, he can't get anybody to dance with him."—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Clinical Evidence "What makes you think his wife is not a good cook?" "Well, instead of carrying a lunch when he goes to work he visits a restaurant and carries a lunch when he goes home."-Houston Post. Bearded Russians. A larger proportion of Russians wear beards than of any other nation in the world. An Anecdote of Renan Renan while traveling alighted at Naples. One morning a servant of the hotel came to him and said that as she had heard the preacher at the cathedral make use of his name many times she would be thankful if he would choose for her a number in the lottery about to be drawn. "If you are a salut," said she, "the number is sure to be a good one; if you are a deci, it will be 'still better.'" It seemed smiled and chose a number, but he never knew if the servant was lucky. Seeing That He Insisted. "But," she said, "I don't want to promise to be your wife until I can be sure that I love you." "I forgot to mention," he explained, "that my salary has just been raised $10 n week." "Oh, well, if you insist on having your answer now I suppose I shall have to say yes!"—Chicago Record-Herald. Making It Last. A young man was lately leaving his aunt's house after a visit when, finding it was beginning to rain, he caught up an umbrella that was smugly placed in a corner and was proceeding to open it when the old lady, who for the first time observed his movements, sprang toward him, exclaiming: "No, no; that you never shall! I've had that umbrella twenty-three years, and it has never been wet yet, and I am sure it shouldn't be wetted now!"—London Express Feiling ChriL Columbus had returned to Spain bringing news of wonderful lands across the sea. "How much shall I write on it?" queried the maritime reporter of the Cadiz Evening Bulletin, who had brought in the story. "Don't write anything." replied the editor. "Let Columbus pay for his advertising if he wants any. It's probably a real estate promotion scheme." —Newark News. The Sleeps Seven. "There were seven of the twelve," said one of the discharged jurors in speaking of the matter next morning, "who didn't want to sleep themselves and wouldn't let the rest of my sleep. Whenever we dropped in a doze they came around and shock us till we were wide awake again." "And you had to submit, I suppose, for they constituted the majority?" "Yes. They were a rousing majority," said the hollow eye juror, with a penitive attempt to be facetious.—Chicago Tribune. Putting Them at Ease. Precedence is not the only puzzle in official and social circles in any city, but to say the right thing at the right time is equally necessary. "To make mistakes in speech is unfulcid," said a state department official recently. "Let it not be as in the case of Mrs. Brody, who gave a party, and when all the guests were in the parlor she entered with a beaming smile and said: "Do make yourselves at home, ladies. I'm at home myself, and I wish you all were." —Washington Star. ACCOMMODATION TRANS - WEEKDATES. Late Bryd St. Seat. 6.00 P.M. P. M. for Fredericksbury. Arrive Bryd St. Seat. 8.25 A.M. P.

Colored men should continue to buy land, and engage in business. Colored men, the outlook is dark at times, but we are making progress. The Democratic administration has made an enviable reputation for "doing things." Failure in any branch of endeavor should not dishearten us. We should struggle onward. The agitation over the segregating of department employees at Washington has done much good. Women can do much to improve conditions. They can control some men and influence some others. Let them exercise this power for good. We have received the Virginia Health Bulletin for February Int. with the programme for Health Day in the Public Schools of Virginia. The indications are that Evelyn Noebel Thaw will have an embarrassing time of it throughout the Southland. But what can embarrass a woman of her kind and callibre? Every day, reports go to show that colored folks are their own worst enemies. The lack of unity on their part, supplemented by nonreligious disagreements and miserings is curiously handshaking in our moral forward. We should not fail to express our on our children the vital necessity of politeness. Practice it. towards white people with whom you come in contact and your will exercise it among the colored people with whom you affiliate. Judge Robert H. Terrell of Washington is still hopeful of a re-appointment by President Wilson. Senator Vardaman, with his are is waiting for him to appear at any session of the United States Senate. When it comes to a colored citizen Sonator Vardaman seems to be more influential than President Wilson. The lower branch of the South Carolina legislature has passed a resolution expressing itself in favor of the repeal of the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. As this state has but little respect for President Woodrow Wilson and his ardent support for Congress, this action arouses only passing notice. --- City Attorney H. R. Pollard said that Mayor Ainslie had the legal right to stop Evelyn Nesbitt Thaw from appearing at the Academy of Music in this city. Attorney H. M. Smith, Jr. and Justice John J. Crutchfield, said that he had no such legal right. "And there you are!" Result: The Thaw woman gets additional free advertising space in the newspapers to enable her to secure additional profits in other cities in this state. The counsel fess. etc. are no doubt charged up to the advertising account. --- The Prohibitionists of Maryland, according to a statement by that eminent divine, Rey. Dr. Harvey Johnson, in the Baltimore, Maryland Afro-American Ledger, would have it appear that he is in favor of the liquor interests because he is opposed to a "Jim Crow" department of that organization. The charge was too absurd to need denial, although Dr. Johnson took about a column of space to reply to theapersions. But then, this is a world in which to be represented. The Boley, Oklahoma Progress is still "at work" on Chief Sam and his supporters in the African Colonization scheme. It seems that this colored man, who claims to be an African from Africa is charging hundreds of people twenty-five dollars each for stock in a colonization scheme. This twenty-five dollars gives the person a free trip to Africa without board or lodging. He must take train for a certain port and go aboard the steamer. While hundreds are selling their homes and raising the money, information received shows that the vessel cannot accommodate more than 150 passengers comfortably. If a thousand people decide to go, and it is alleged that there are more than that number they must wait until the ship goes over and comes back again and again until their "turn" comes. That colored people in Oklahoma, Texas and neighboring states should be so gullible is one of the wonders of the century. The Boley Progress is not making itself popular by opposing the project, but it accums to us that the editor's conscience should permit him to sleep well at night. Those who heed his advice will not rise up and call him blessed. --- THE OUTLOOK. The denial of constitutional rights to the black citizen has led to the denial of constitutional privileges to the white one. The suspension of the law, so to speak, in the cases affecting one class of citizens has led to the suspension of the statutes in the cases affecting other classes of citizens. All over the Southland laws have been nullified. This action has been condoned by the Supreme Court of the United States. Now vital issues are being discussed and it has been ascertained that the disregard of the fundamental rights and privileges of colored citizens have led to similar lapses in the cases of white citizens and foreign- The guarantees of the Constitution of the United States have not been enforced for first one reason and then another. The day of retribution is at hand. The colored citizen has been so repeatedly denied his rights that he has almost ceased to struggle to exercise them. The result in well nigh every contest is known before hand. But now there is a new question being raised—the rights of foreigners under a favored nation treaty. If foreigners could be confined to the territories, no trouble would have ensued, but they insisted upon locating in the several states. Some of them belonged to the darker races and they were accordingly restricted to the privileges accorded to the desplaced citizen of color. The Jujinense, who have been des- ignited as the "Yankees of the East" recited such treatment and appealed to their representatives at Washington. "The government" at Washington had ruled that it did not have the right to interfere with affairs of a state and yet it was under treaty obligations to see to it that the Japanese be accorded all of their rights and privileges within the confines of the United States, regardless of state boundaries. If an Englishman were accorded privileges, then a Japanese could demand the same privileges. Here then is the problem that President Wilson, the candidate of the Southland must solve. Japan is ready to strike. It is a highly sensitive nation, flushed by a triumphant victory with the Russians. In a war with the United States, the situation would be similar to that which confronted Russia. The United States could win if it could get its troops there in time. This government does not own though transports and its navy is not sufficiently large to make the proper defense against its wily and able foe. It looks very much as though retribution is at hand. The condoning of wrong-doing is about to be followed by a multiplication of the punishment. God's hand is seen in the history of the Universe. The Fall of Babylon, the destruction of Nineveh, the burning of Sodom and Gomorroh, the Fall of the Roman Empire and similar happenings in history, but go to show that the American Republic would do well to heed the teachings of the past and be guided by the great principles so fortuitly expounded by the Great Master. COUPLE SLAIN IN MOTOR CAR Chauffeur In Letter to Other Girl Says He Can't Love Two and Tells of Death Ride. In a lonely section of country between Latrobe and Ligonier, Pa., the bodies of Anna Lutz, sixteen years of age, and John McFadden, twenty years old, both of Greensburg, were found in an automobile. The girl had been shot twice in the left temple and McFadden was shot in the right temple. The motor of the car was still running when the bodies were found. Mystery shrouded the tragedy until a letter from McFadden to another girl was found, showing that he was infatuated with both and had evidently promised to marry one of them. So he cut love's gorilla knot by killing one of his sweethearts and himself. "I'm in Latrobe and going over the mountains. You'll never see me again," was the message which McFadden telephoned to his employer, Elmer Turner, manager of the Standard Garage. He hung up the receiver. Turner sent out other employees to find the chauffeur. McFadden was employed by the garage and had the privilege of using the cars. He took a new car and drove to the Lutz home, where he met Anna, and took her for a ride. McFadden drove the car at a high rate of speed to Latrobe, where he called up his employer on the telephone. Turner said that he thought McFadden intended stealing the car and he immiedietedly sent out two other employees, John and Victor Hayden, in a high-powered machine and told them to stay on the state road and overtake McFadden. On reaching Lutz he the purchasers were told that the machine containing Miss Lutz and McFadden had passed through, that city at the rate of forty miles an hour. They overlooked the machine standing on top of a knoll, to the right of the road, with the engine still going. Both Miss Lutz and McFadden were sitting upright in the front seat of the machine. Miss Lutz had been shot twice in the left temple and had evidently died instantly. There had apparently been no struggle, and it is thought that McFadden shot the girl without her suspecting what he was going to do. He then fired a bullet into his own right temple. The revolver was found lying between the young couple, with three empty chambers. Another revolver, loaded, was found in McFadden's coat pocket. Plicke McCormick For Penn. Governor President Wilson went over the political situation in Pennsylvania with reorganization Democratic leaders. The purpose of the consultation was to select a state ticket most likely to bring about a Democratic victory in the Keystone state next November. The following decision was reached: Vance McCormick, of Harrisburg, for governor. Congressman A. Mitchell Palmer for United States senator, with the posi- bility that Secretary of Labor William B. Wilson may be later agreed upon. Former Representative William T. Crossey, of Catawissa, of the Penn- sylvania State Orange, for lieutenant governor. The Democrats who laid the Penn- sylvania situation before the presiden- t were Congressman Palmer, Roland B. Mortz, of Philadelphia, chairman of RECEIVING TELLER MONEY TAKES WINGS! LOOK!

Money will not TAKE WINGS! Little currency and a FAT CHECK BOOK is a better combination than an elephantine WAD OF GREZNBACKS and an ANAEMIC CHECK BOOK! the Democratic state committee, James L. Blakeslee, fourth assistant postmaster general; Vance G. McCormick, of Harrisburg, and Secretary of Labor Wilson. The only point upon which there was serious difference of opinion was the whidom of Secretary Wilson leaving the cabinet to convene a Senator Bolts Peppone, who, he has not made a formal announcement to that effect, is regarded as a candidate for the Republican nomination and re-election. Radium Patient Dier of Cancer. Radium failed to save the life of Robert Gunn Brenner, member of congress from the Seventh New Jersey district. After a hard fight for life, which at tracted nation-wide attention, Mr. Drenner succeeded to cancer in a sanitarium in Baltimore. Mr. Brenner was thirty-nine years old. He was married, but had no children. He had suffered from cancer in the shoulder for four years and had been undergone radium treatment in Baltimore since December. When Mr. Brenner felt the pain from the growth he thought he had rheumatism, but soon learned the deadly nature of the disease from which he suffered. Specialists in Europe and this country tried in vain to aid him. Bank President Accused. Ten directors of the Mercantile bank, one of the most important financial institutions in Memphis, Tenn., has filed a edition in the chancery court in Memphis, charging that the bank was insolvent as the result of the alleged misappropriation of more than $750,000 by C. Hunter Raine, the institution's president. It is stated the defalcations may reach $1.5 million. In the petition Raine was held solely responsible for the apparent shortage, approximately $788,804, which, it is charged, he obtained "by a system of handling its drafts, property and exchange in such a way as to deceive the directors and to conceal his manipulations," the total amount of which it was alleged he lost in speculation. The petition places the liability of the bank at approximately $2,196,844 with assets of $1,408,059. In a published statement on Jan. 9 the liability were given as $2,436,197. At that time the total deposits were $1,561,109, of which $344,553 were savings accounts. The bank is capitalized at $200,000 and has a surplus of $100,000. Tiny Worm Killa Boy A tiny worm in his ear caused the death of Monroe Ward, nine years old, the son of Mrs. Rosa Ward, of Spinnerstown, near Pennsburg, Pa. Three years ago, while the boy was sleeping under a tree near the house the worm crawled into his ear. The same evening the boy complained of a pain, and insisted that something was "eating" in his head. A physician was called and the boy was kept upon a pillow of earth for four weeks in an effort to conx the worm out of the ear, but without success. Total blindness soon followed. An X-ray photograph revealed the worm deep in the lail's head. The worm was finally removed, by means of alcohol injections, but the boy grew steadily worse and death followed. --- Girl Accusers Physician. Following the death in a hospital in Wilkes-Barre, Pa., of Josephine Mandelline, seventeen years of age, Dr. W. F. Harrison, one of the leading physicians of Plains, Pa., was arrested, accused of performing an unprofessional operation, which resulted in the girl's death. Last June the girl is said to have eloped to Pittsburgh with Nicola Bianco, of Pittston. Later they returned to Wilkes-Barre, when an attempt was made to arrest Bianco, but which failed. Shortly before the girl died she made a statement accusing Dr. Harrison. The physician was arrested, and although he denied the charge he was held in $1000 bail for a further hearing. White House Chef Dice. Leon J. Gaston, who was head, chief at the White House under President Garfield and Arthur, died at his home in Kansas City. Gaston was born in Park City seven years ago.

It was his feeling for the slave that set his feet first in the path which led him to the presidency and to martyrdom. In New York city, during the visit which included the making of the famous speech in Cooper institute, he came most closely into contact with the very poor. The meeting took place in February, 1860. Its story is told as follows in "The Everyday Life of Abraham Lincoln:" It appears that on the Sunday which Mr. Lincoln spent in New York city, he visited a Sunday school in the notorious region called Five Points and there made a short address to the scholars. After his return to Springfield one of his neighbors, hearing of this, thought it would be a good subject for bantering Mr. Lincoln about and accordingly visited him for that purpose. This neighbor was generally known as "Jim," just as Lincoln was called "Abe." The following account of Jim's visit, furnished by Edward Eggleston, shows that he did not derive as much fun from the bantering as he had expected: "He started for 'Old Abe's' office, but, bursting open the door impulsively, found a stranger in conversation with Mr. Lincoln. He turned to retrace his steps, when Lincoln called out, Jim, what do you want? 'Nothing.' 'Yes, you do. Come back.' Aft er some entreaty Jim approached Mr. Lincoln and remarked, with a twinkle in his eye: 'Well, Abe, I see you have been making a speech to Sunday school children. What's the matter? 'Sit down, Jim, and I'll tell you about it. And with that Lincoln put his feet on the store and began: "When Sunday morning came I didn't know exactly what to do. Wash burne asked me where I was going. I told him I had nowhere to go, and he proposed to take me down to the Five Points Sunday school to show me something worth feeling. I was very much interested by what I saw. Presently Mr. Pearse came up and spoke to Mr. Washburne, who intro- C. A. JASON HE WAS REPEATING THE LITTLE RONG FROM MEMORY duced me. Mr. Peace, wanted us to speak. Was thirsty of life and then I was dreaded to speak. "I remembered that Mr. Peace said they were thirsty and fondless, and I thought of the time when I had been plucked by terrible poverty. And so I told them that I had been poor; that I remembered when my toes stuck out through my broken shoes in winter; when my arms were out at the elbows; when I surrendered with the cold. And I told them there was only one rule. That was always do the very best you can. I told them that I had always tried to do the very best I could, and that if they would follow that rule they would get along somehow. That was about what I said. "And when I got through Mr. Pence said it was just the thing they needed. And when the school was dismissed all the teachers came up and shook hands with me and thanked me for it." "Just here Mr. Lincoln put his hand in his pocket and remarked that he had never heard anything that touched him as had the songs which those children sang. With that he drew forth a little book, remarking that they had given him one of the books from which they sang. He began to read a piece with all the earnestness of his great earnest soul. "In the middle of the second verse Jim felt a choking in his throat and a tickling in his nose. At the beginning, of the third verse he saw that the stranger was weeping, and his own team fell fast. Turning toward Lincoln, who was reading behind on, he saw the great, blinding An feothills ever do, his grand and lofty height. An years remove us from that time of swifful throes, Like travelers who leave behind the earth's uplift And journey on across the plain, on looking back Perceive the clust'ring hills dwarf into nothingness. While one tall, sun kissed mount come clearer into view. So distance doth reveal to us this peerless man. O'ertopping all his age in solemn majesty. Too pure for pride, too wise for show, his life was keyed To simple truth and right, as needle unto pole. Regardless of the speech of men he kept his way. Nor ever swerved from what to him seemed duty's path. Though it led up to untried heights or down through depths In days most perilous unto the Nation's life. When south from north was torn and civil war raged on, His hand was guiding all. And to his dauntless will. His clear, strong mind, his honest, loyal heart, we owe Our undivided country, one from lakes to gulf. From sea to sea, united in prosperity. From darkest bondage into liberty and light, Nor lacked thou cloud by day or fire by night, for these Were battle smoke and hurid campfire gleams, also, Though not by wish of thine, for tender was thy heart As any little child's, and much thou didst deplore War's stern necessity. No act of thine shows aught Of hatred or revenge, for thou didst love all men And wish them well. Brave soul, true soul, great soul, We lay with gratitude this wreath upon thy head And thank thee for thy life and mourn thy mortyr death. THE FIGHT FOR THE GREAT SAFETY OF THE WORLD A L WOW T hears in his eyes, so that he could not possibly see the pages. He was repenting that little song from memory.

London's Lincoln Memorial. The suggestion of a Lincoln memorial in London in celebration of the 100 years peace recalls the fact that the great librator is already commemorated in the British capital by the Lincoln tower at Christchurch. The tower, 200 feet high; was built by Americans at the close of the civil war in appreciation of the sympathy extended by the Rev. Newman Hall and his congregation to the northern cause when public opinion in England was almost entirely on the side of the south. The stars and stripes are in wrought in the stonework of the tower and the British lion and American eagle adorn it. WHEN LINCOLN FACED A MOB. It was during a political campaign in Springfield, Ill., before the war that Lincoln protected Edward D. Baker from a mob which threatened to drag him off the stand. "Baker was speaking in a large room," says Arnold, biographer of Lincoln. "rented and used for the court sessions, and Lincoln's office was in an apartment over the courtroom and communicating with it by a trapologist. Lincoln was in his office, going to Baker through the cupboard, when Baker, becoming excited, abused the Democrats, many of whom were present. A cry was raised, "Pull him off the stand!" "The instant Lincoln heard the cry, knowing a general fight was imminent, his athletic form was seen descending from above through the opening of the trapdoor, and springing to the side of Baker and waving his hand for silence, he said with dignity: 'Gentlemen, let us not disgrace the age and country in which we live. This is a land where freedom of speech is guaranteed. Baker has a right to speak. I am here to protect him, and no man shall take him from this stand if I can prevent it. Quiet was restored, and Baker finished his speech without interruption." --- How General Thomas T. Eckert, former head of the Western Union Telegraph company, nearly lost his commission during the civil war was related on the witness stand during the trial in New York of the contest over the general's will. The Rev. James Velt of New York quoted General Eckert as saying in 1882: "When I was an officer in charge of the telegraph bureau with the rank of captain Secretary of War Stanton called me to his office. He told me he had received advice that I was not attending to my duties and that my dismissal had been written out. "While I was standing speechless before him I felt a hand on my shoulder, and some one said: 'I vouch for Captain Eckert. I have had occasion to go to his office several times, and I always found him there.' "It was Abraham Lincoln. Stanton broke the silence. I apologize to Captain Eckert' he said." Ex-Senator Cullom Dies. Ex-Senator Shelby M. Cullom, of Illinois, died in Washington after an illness of more than a week, during which he hovered between life and death. His last words were a dish that he might have lived to see the completion of the national memorial to Abraham Lincoln, who was his personal friend. He was the resident member of the Lincoln memorial commission. Death was done as much to debility incident to age, Mr. Cullom being in his eighty-fifth year, as to any particular maledy, although it was directly due to a bronchial affection and a weak heart.

THE NEGRO FARMER A Paper That Helps People to Become Better Farmers is an Aid to the Church, the School and to the Secular and Religious Papers It has been decided to publish at Tuskegee Institute Post Office, Every-Other-Week for the present, a national farm paper to be known as THE NEGRO FARMER. It will be published in the interest of Negro landowners, tenant farmers and of those who employ Negro labor. There is no other strictly farm newspaper in the world devoted to the interest of Negro farmers. Many of the white farm newspapers enjoy huge circulations and there is no reason why a farm paper in the interest of Negroes should not prove equally successful. In fact, occupying an exclusive field it should enjoy a success far beyond that of the usual farm publication. It is proposed to circulate this paper among the 2,000,000 black farmers of the United States. The paper, will be eight pages, of about the size of "The Country Gentleman." DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON STATES: The Taukereg Institute has no financial interest or control over this new publication, but some of the active officers of the institution are interested in its success and believe that it will not only accomplish great good but will be a paying investment. The paper is backed by a strong organization and funds have been provided in advance to assure its publication. Those in active control of THE NEGRO FARMER have my entire confidence and good will. —BOOKER T. WASHINGTON.

New York.-The National Association For the Advancement of Colored People held a special public meeting in Cooper Union on Thursday evening, Jan. 20, to protest against the Smith-Lever bill now pending in the United States senate. The object of the measure is to provide a fund for agricultural colleges in the south among white people, but makes no provision for similar schools among the colored people. The meeting was largely attended by both white and colored people and was enthusiastic from the start. Ex congressman William S. Bennet presided. The speakers were Miss Lillian D. Wald, Oswald Garrison Villard and Dr. W. E. B. DuBois. In his introductory remarks the Hon. Mr. Behnet said in part: 'The suple indifference of the peo ple, especially in the northern states, to the cruel injustice of the situation is precisely similar to the attitude of mind of the ancestors and predecessors of the same people in the fifties. We are worse than the 'Cotton Whigs'. The Cotton Whig slightly closed his eyes to a deplorable situation and wanted everything left, in statue quo, so that he could make money. To do the Cotton Whigs justice, they realized that the abolition of slavery would be a AUGUST HON. WILLIAM S. BENNETT. difficult procedure, and therefore their attitude was not entirely selfish. Our is. We are denying justice to an aspiring and rising people simply because their rising costs us some personal inconvenience. We are proving ourselves hypocrites. "For years we have urged the Negro to improve and have assured him that as he did so he could take the position in organized society which his training warranted. He, has acted upon the faith of our promise, and now that he is acquiring education, culture and property we are forging everything that we have said to him and attempting to segregate him, not any more because he lacks the requisite education, cultivation and means, but for the naked reason that he is a Negro. "In the south we are denying him as a citizen the rights which the constitution guaranteed, and in the north by acquiescing we are consenting to the monstrous doctrine that, for the purpose of being counted for representation in congress and in the electoral college the Negro is a man, a citizen and a brother, while for all other purposes he is a mere beast of burden. We forget one unshaken truth. No action in all history which has suffered injustice to prevail, which has continued hypocryt, which has been false to its own professions, but has lost in failure and in suffering—painted in the end to the uttermost farthing for such injustice and hypocryt." This question of segregation looms up in my mind as of mountainous orience. It involves an eternal principle, the principle of defying the human being which was proclaimed as the cornerstone of our national edifice and retreated after the experience of duty, two years by the best American war. However helpless the nation collectively may be, because of the prejudice and injustice among the individual, we constitute the nation, it cannot be contrary to a standard, which it collectively may be. The appointed agreement at Washington and the fin mestom, widespread effect of it on the country, at large, especially the south and the important to let pass without letting the world know the judgment of social thinkers upon it. "The nation has taken a great tan to protect itself when it needs not to harm like the different elements that make up our country, that all may get together for one great purpose—free opportunity to each, that the best type may be developed. There must be confusion in the minds of many who come to us to the difference between our high national motives and the acts of the individual. I do not want to add to the flame that has been kindled—far from it. Such contribution as I can make to this glaciation is to dwell with all the emphasis within my power upon the wrong that we do ourselves when we wrong or degrade or in any way injure any of the people who are in our midst. We commit ourselves to a wrong or a degradation or an injury when we do not protest against it." Mr. Villard, chairman of the board of directors of the association, made the principal address of the evening. "This bill as it stands represents a radical step in the movement for rural discrimination against negroes in the south," he asserted. "Coning on the beaks of the campaign for farm segregation, it makes it possible to deprive the Negroes of their share of federal appropriations for agricultural education by allowing southern legislatures to give the entire amount to white colleges. Members of the committee which framed the bill and of the house and senate, he said, "have admitted that this fact was taken into consideration and that the colored colleges would doubtless get little of the money. The only bill under which they have benefited was that of 1850, which provided for equitable division of the funds as does the Jones amendment to the Smith-Leveng bill, for which the association is fighting now." Mr. Villard characterized the bill as one of the most vicious that have in a long time brought before the federal gov't, in the issue of ratifying a policy of race discrimination. Mr. Villard continued. "Now I want to say a few words to you. I must have an extraordinary position in which I can倔倔 party finds itself today, and president preaching a new treatise and a number of reactionary senators, congressmen and cabinet officers urging a new slavery. For the violent and Negro southern senators—it is to then I want to pay my respects tonight—are of the most reactionary kind. There is no more amazing spectacle in our public life than the ogerness with which they mollify the now familiar slogan that the people shall rule; that special privilege must cease; that we must have bigger rule by the people that the bosses must go; that Wall street must be put in its proper place and the alliance between big business and politics cease. There are no losses today compatible to them; there are none others elected to office who so clearly repent only a minority of the adults with in their election districts or state there are none others the country over as determined that all the people shall not rule, but only a fraction thereof. They are today before God and the nation the chief apostle of reason—the Vardhamans. Tilhame, Hulk Smiths and all the rest of the Negro battling crowd who have risen to eminence on the back of the Negro, defaming and oppressing him as the went. Then, when they fail to rise, you cheerfully assert that this proves the Negro incapable of advancing and half brother to an ox. You deprive the Negro child of all schooling, an 5,000 are deprived in Atlanta, turn him adrift to room in a slum stroots, and then if he grows up an animal you say the responsibility is in him; that that proves him a beast and his race inherently criminal. Never was there a more brazen assertion that a people cannot rise in the scale of civilization and a more determined effort to prevent their rising. "But I have another indictment for these men. I claim that they misrepresent the heart and conscience and brains of the true south, the south of chivalry and fair play—a real south that has lain dormant, but is beginning now to stir. It is not for nothing that we have a Brecknidge of Kentucky foremost among our workers in the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People. It is of no little importance that our protest against the segregation of the races in Washington was upheld to the letter by another Brecknidge in his newspaper in Kentucky. It is of the utmost significance that the papers by southern men read before the southern sociological conference last spring and published under the title of "The Human Way" voice the same sentiments to be heard at our National Association For the Advancement of Colored People meetings—for instance, denunciation of the Jimcrow car and a demand for the ballot for the worthy black man. "It mounts when a prominent southern educator came to our annual meeting in New York last year and declared that what the Negro needed in the south was not less but more social equality, and a proposal for a national race commission to study the problem, which we laid before the president last May, was conceived by a Mississippiian, now a resident of Texas. These are the men, we believe, who represent the quickening conscience of the new south which the anti-Negro senators and congressmen utterly misrepresent." Virginians to Organize in Newark, N. J. A movement has been started in Newark, N. J., to organize a mutual benefit society among resident Virginia. The movement was instigated by members of the society of the Souls of Virginia, an incorporated institution in Brooklyn. Memoirs, Allen W. Sydnor and John E. Pikman of Newark have been requested by the Brooklyn organization to take charge of the work in Newark. PERSISTENCE IN BUSINESS WINS Interesting Account of the Progress Which Afro-Americans Are Making In New Western Metropolis Against Great Odd—Succose. Due to the United Efforts of the People. BY RALPH W. TYLB. BY RALPH W. TYLER. Kansas City, Mo. This city's fame throughout the self satisfied east coast apparently usps its stockyards, its abattoirs and its beef hamburs, and yet no city in the world, not even Paris, can boast of so beautiful and extensive a system of boulevards or more handsome residences, many of which are palaces that will rival the homes of New York miliamores which line Riverside drive. The colored people throughout the country have just as erroneous an idea of Kansas City's colored population. Just as faint a conception or knowledge of the bustle and progress of the race in this city. If you want the very last evidence of race progress, race loyalty and cooperation it is to be found in this city. There is an arc of mistlethood colored men and women rarely seen, and an evidence of business thrift and activity unparalleled anywhere by anyone. And withdrew there are cultures and remembrance the result of those found in social town Washington or at the presumed "thought of the universe" - Boston. The amount invested here by colored men and women in business enterprises is said to be $200,000, and more than $5,000,000 in real estate is in the possession of the race. This tells something of the progress made and being made by the race in this new metropolis of the west. There are thirty-two churches, ninety-one schoolteachers and twelve modern school buildings to conserve the educational desires of the race. Thirty physicians, four dentists, eight lawyers and six or seven pharmacists, with the ministers and teachers, form a professional coterie the equal of the same number of whites here or elsewhere. The race is represented actively in thirty-six different lines of business, and in every line success is being recorded, and the race unity prevailing assures continuation of this success. In my visit here I have been impressed with the unusual enthusiasm and confidence in the ability of the people to succeed against great odds. One reason assigned, and a very potent one, too, for the wonderful progress being made by the race in business is that this is the home of the banner local Negro Business league in the country and that it has for its president Fortune J. Weaver, one of the most active working men I have ever met. In Kansas City he is dutiful the "live wire." As indicating the activity of the Negro Business league it may be said that, although herefore laying claim to the largest membership and greatest activity, since November last seventy five new members have been added. The Kansas City Sun under the able management of Editor Nelson C. Crews constitutes another very helpful aid to race progress. Even the women have become insulated with the business spirit and quite a number of these are engaged in good doing businesses of establishments. Among the many men engaged in business for themselves are Dr. E. S. Lee, McCampbell & Houston, F. J. Weaver, C. A. Franklin, A. W. Harris and John H. Fairley. Eighteenth street for several blocks and the intersecting and parallel streets of the immediate vicinity present a most busy and encouraging scene, with its many colored business establishments and offices of colored professional men and the throngs of loyal race men and women who conceive it to be their bounden duty to patronize them in order to afford increased opportunities for the young men and women of the race. One of the delightful and interesting characters among the colored men of this city is Professor J. D. Rowser. Although retired from active participation in the real bustling life of the city, he is as much interested as ever in the progress of the race. I have always observed when visiting a city that in proportion to the excellence of its schools and the activity of its local business league just in that proportion was the race making educational and material progress. Kansas City's colored schools are in a very excellent condition and are doing great work under the supervision of a most efficient corps of teachers; and the Western university, just across the river, under President H. T. Kealing, is most intimately associated in the work of betterment in Kansas City. The teachers, ministers, physicians, lawyers and dentists, while co-operating enthusiastically to advance the material progress of the race, also serve to develop and maintain a charming culture which robs business of that too close application merely for the dollars and cents. There are 30,000 colored people in this city, and their high per capita wealth of $100 is the proof offered as to how well they have learned the lesson of getting something which other people wait, which the wizard of Tuskegee has been so earnestly and effectively teaching.

Wise, the distinguished rabbi of the Free synagogue, New York city, and champion of public righteousness, delivered at Hampton institute on Sunday, Feb. 1, a most eloquent address in commemoration of General Samuel, Chapman Armstrong, who founded, the Hampton school in 1888. Dr. Wise showed clearly that General Armstrong was a "statesman-educator of a democracy," "statesman philanthropist," "statesman-visionary and idealist"—a man of radiant personality and a man who walked with God. "I have often thought," said Dr. Wise, "that no man in modern times could be more dily likened to the great leader of my people than Samuel Chapman Armstrong. Moses was first librarian and emancipator, and he rested his eternal faith upon the word of God." General Armstrong fought in the war and helped to emancipate the Negroes. General Armstrong was not content, however, merely to lead foorth another race from boudage. He set out upon the great life task of helping them to self mastery, self conquest and self redemption. Dr. Wise showed that the greatest spring of character and achievement in the life of Mr. Armstrong was in the home in which he was born—the home of high enterprise and missionary endeavor. Dr. Wise made a strong plan for the colored people to go out from Hampston and magnify their own homes. He declared capabilitatively that houses, farm, plant improvements, money and position are as nothing beside the home. General Armstrong was not only prepared to face difficulties, but he had the statesman's vision which moved him to seek out and search out the hard and difficult places as well as accept them, not as obstacles and bindrances, but as spurs, as stimuli.

No Matter How Smart We Are, We Miss Some Good Things. A convention of automobile inter- nior in the middle west the big events in the business were masterly sketches demonstrating that their particular concepts and machines were the best in the world. Oratory was splashed about, tremendous figures were being around, and superlatives bounded against the ceiling. Finally the limit was reached when a gentleman arose and remarked as follows: "My company is the most wonderful known to the business. Our salesmen have proved that they can give all other salesmen cards and spades and yet beat them out. As the result of a close calculation and minute investigation I am now ready to assert that for every minute in the past year one-half of a machine made by our firm was sold. There you have half a machine sold every minute."

"Let me have that telegraph I wrote just now," she commanded. "I forgot something very important. I wanted to underscore 'perfectly lovely' in acknowledging the receipt of that bracelet.
