LAWYER American Bankers' Association Here. Wealthy Men in Conference.--Financial Conditions Discussed. The Federal Reserve System Under Fire President Reynolds Presides. WILL PROBABLY MEET NEXT YEAR AT SEATTLE, WASHINGTON. VOLUME-XXXI, NO. 47 American Ass Wealthy Mer Con The Federal Re den WILL PROBABLY M The American Bankers' Association commenced its sessions in this city last Monday with the committees doing the advance or preliminary business. There were four thousand of these wealthy people in attendance at the Boston session last year, but the number here fell far short of that number. Some say two thousand, but it is enough to say that the Jefferson Hotel Auditorium was sufficient to hold this aggregation of wealth that attended. This slump was due to unsettled condition of currency. The Federal Reserve system is being launched and the boards are being organized. This has necessitated some of the loading money wings remaining at home. A JOINT MEETING The Savings Bank Section and the Trust Company Section met in the Auditorium of the Jefferson Hotel Tuesday Morning at 10 A. M. John Mitchell, Jr., President of the Mechanics Savings Bank was among the number. The Invocation was by Rev. Dr. J. J. Gravatt of the Holy Trinity Episcopal Church. "The Future of State Institutions under the Federal Reserve Act." was ably discussed by H: Parker Willis, Secretary of the Federal Reserve Commission. He made a strong plea for the State banks to join the system. He was asked at the conclusion of his remarks as to what service this new system would be to a bank that did not have its money in assets defined by him. COULD NOT PROFITABLY JOIN He admitted that for such an institution to join would only be from a sentimental stand-point. A letter was read from Mr. George M. Reynolds, President of the Continental and Commercial National Bank of Chicago and one of the ablest financiers in the country advising the state banks to stay out of the system until it had been tested. These banks represent a large majority of the capital of the United States. Mr. Reynolds was unable to attend the sessions owing to the organization of a Reserve Bank in Chicago, he answered the question as implied in his subject, which was "What should be the Attitude of State Banks and Trust Companies toward the Federal Reserve System?" MR. WEXLER'S PLEA. Mr. Sol. Wexler of New Orleans made an attack upon the Federal Reserve System and offered a motion for the appointment of a committee from the various sections and from the Association itself to confer with the Federal Reserve Commission with a view to having such amendments made to the law to enable these banks to join the system. Other speakers joined in the attack and the discussion became slowly. It was 12:46, when appointment was had and the members passed out discussing the situation. SAVINGS BANK SECTION MEETS. The Savings Bank Section met at 3:30 P. M., President J. E. Sartor, guiding Mr. N. F. Hawley of Minneapolis, Minn., read the report of the Requisite Committee. The report of Methods and Systems Committees was read by Mr. V. A. Lerner of Brooklyn, N. Y. The report of the membership committee was made by Mr. G. E. Edwards of New York. The report of the Law and Supervision Committee was made by Mr. N. F. Hawley of Minneapolis, Minn. The report of the Special Committee on Postal Savings Banks was made by Mr. E. L. Robinson of Baltimore, Md. Savings Bank Securities in the Light of Recent Events was read. and Mr. E. C. McDougall discussed "Recent Amendments, to Savings Bank Law of New York and Reasons for such Amendments." ELECTION OF OFFICERS The election of officers resulted in the choosing of Mr. W. B. Knox, Comptroller Bowery Savings Bank of New York as President, Mr. E. G. McWilliam was again chosen Secretary. He has rivalled Mr. William Hanhart in the efficient service that he has rendered and is a universal favorite among the bankers of the section. His Typical Functional Chart of a large Trust and Savings Bank showed profound study as well as transcondent ability along this line. The section adjourned at about 5 P. M. DEACON JACKSON IN THE HOSPITAL Deacon Benjamin Jackson is now in the Freedman's Hospital at Washington undergoing treatment. He was operated, upon last week and is said to be improving. His devoted wife and Miss Cora L. Bright visited him last Sunday. WOMAN SHOT HIM.

"A Brief Retrospect." Able and Scholarly Lecture, Judge Terrell Charms a Fine Audience. The Y. M. C. A. Lecture Course last Monday night at the Fifth St. Baptist Church, when Judge Robert H. Terrell spoke was a success. A large and appreciative audience had gathered to hear the speaker. General Secretary Scott C. Burrell was Master of Corononies, while Mr. John S. Powell, President of the Y.M. C. A. occupied a seat with him on the lower rostrum. The music by the Sabbath Glee Club was fine. It was encored again and again, for it had won popular favor. The invocation was delivered by Rev. S. S. Morris, the popular pastor of the Third St. Bethel A. M. E. Church. THE INTRODUCTION The music by the Ebenezer Quartette was also fine and created something of a surprise. Mr. John Mitchell, Jr. proceeded to introduce Judge Robert H. Terrell. He declared that it was worth the price of admission just to see the colored JUDGE ROBERT H. TERRELL jurist. Attorney General McReynold's a Democrat endorsed him and declared him to be the best judge on the bench of the Municipal Court. He had been nominated by President Woodrow Wilson, who had insisted upon his confirmation. Of five Municipal judges upon the bench, he was the only one re-appointed. THE SUBJECT DISCUSSED. He was the first and only judge to receive the endorsation of the Bar Association of the District of Columbia. He had been confirmed by a vote of 24 to 39. He pronounced him a student of human nature, a graduate of Harvard University and a credit to the race. Judge Terrell arose amidst applause and after a brief reference to his experience in his fight for confirmation plunged into the discussion of his subject "A Brief Retrospect." He discussed the history of the colored man in this country and said that while some persons had tabooed the Negro question he had come to discuss. A BIT OF HISTORY. He told of the early importation of the Negroes to this country, of their varied experiences and services. He told of how many were employed in the various useful or gainful occupations and then discussed them in war. His references to their valor brought forth applause. He spoke of the 54th Massachusetts Regiment, of Sergeant Carney and other celebrities of the race. He spoke too of the grand old man, Frederic Douglass and of that remarkable poet, Paul Laurence Dunbar. He had spoken about an hour to an audience that had listened to him with rant attention and was not tired at the close. FRIENDLY GREETING The Ebonezer Quartette rendered a selection. The Sabbath Glee Club did the same and then Mrs. Maggie L. Walker was called upon for an impromptu address. She responded in how immutable style and all went out saying words of commendation of the evening's entertainment. As for Judge Torrell, he went to his temporary residence with Mr. Mitchell and then quickly returned to the K. of P. Castle, where his friends had gathered and where an impromptu reception was held and refreshments served until a late hour. Some say it was 2 A. M. when they retired, but definite information on this point has not been forthcoming. CONGREGATION OPTOSED TO: Declaring that the trustees had acted without authority in deciding to sell the church property, and had not notified the congregation of the purpose of their recent meeting, certain members, of the congregation of Immanuel Baptist Church yesterday filed a petition in the City Circuit Court in opposition to the petition of the trustees for court authority to dispose, of the property and named themselves as respondents in the case when it comes up for hearing. The respondents are Mrs. Alice M. Burroughs, Mrs. S. S. Elllett, Mrs. E. R. Hill and Mrs. Lille Propst. They have engaged the law firm of Pace and Leary to represent them and other members of the congregation, while the trustees are represented by Thomas C. Diggs. The petition of the trustees has been in possession of the City Circuit Court for some time, but was not placed on file yesterday afternoon, when the opposing petition was allowed to the records of the court. Judge M. Carter Scott decided that the case should be heard upon the issues of fact, and set the hearing for November 3. Both sides have agreed to waive further notice and to have all their witnesses present upon that date. In the meanwhile Judge Scott has ordered that all the books of the church shall be open to the respondents. CHARGE THAT MEETING HELD NOT IN ACCORD TO RULES In their petition the respondents set forth that the trustees were not duly authorized and were not empowered to make a sale of the church property, and the respondent petitioners further say that "the alleged meeting of the said congregation, under authority of which the trustees purport to act, was not, as your petitioners are advised and believe, and therefore aver and charge held in accordance with the rules and regulations of the said church that no notice of the purpose for which the said meeting was held was given to your petitioners or to the congregation." The paper goes on to say that it is not the wish of the congregation, nor of a majority of the congregation, that the real estate of the church shall be sold, but, on the contrary, the sale is opposed, particularly if the sale be to a colored church or congregation, so, the respondent petitioners is contemplated by the trustees. The meeting in which it was decided to sell the church property was held on September 27. In that meeting the trustees claim that they were authorized and directed to apply to the court for authority to sell the property for $21,000. Of this $500 was to be paid when the court signed, the order for the sale, and $7,500 to be paid when the purchasers took possession of the property and $13,000 to be paid in five years' time. Attorney Diggan says that he will insist that the respondents have no rights in the premises, and he will show that they now have the opportunity, if the question of other sanctuary for the congregation should arise, to buy the Calvary Baptist Church, at Grace and Pine Streets. He says that the congregation wishes to make financial arrangements for the purchase of the Calvary Baptist Church as speedily as possible. Under this amended congregation ordinance signed by Mayor Alnashle on October 7, Immanuel Baptist Church, which is situated on the northeast corner of Fifth and Leigh Streets, may not be occupied by a colored congregation, since the church is in a neighborhood in which the majority of residents are white. If, however, colored people should buy sufficient property in the vicinity of the church as to change the character of the population the church would then be considered to be within the proper confines for use by colored congregation. It is said that such a move is under contemplation of the colored people who wish to purchase Immanuel Church. Richmond, Va. Times-Dispatch Oct. 13, 194. The Colored Banker's Temporary Predicament. President John Mitchell, Jr., entered the Jefferson Hotel last Sunday to register as a member of the American Bankers' Association. There were six white lady stenographers of this city there with a skilled manager in charge. He passed his engraved plato card to one of them. She seemed somewhat embarrassed and then she said, "We are not registering people from the city, only visitors today." The gentleman in charge picked up the card and hurriedly went to the rear of the enclosure. He returned and said pleasantly that it was all right. WAS EMBARRASSED The indy stenographer was embarrassed and said that she had stated only what she had been instructed to state and that she was in no wise responsible. She then proceeded to register the colored bank president complying strictly with course of procedure. President Mitchell was told to take it to the other side in order to get the badge or button of the American Bankers' Association which entitles the holder to admission into the meetings of the Association. Here the young white gentlemen who had been faithfully working balked. ANOTHER OBJECTION. They were unwilling to pass over the badge. The colored banker smilingly asked for Mr. Fitzwilson, the Assistant Secretary of the American Bankers' Association. Up in being told that he was at luncheon, he said that he would wait. When he came, he cordially greeted him "Mr. Nixwilson," said President Mitchell, "I wish you would straighten these young gentlemen out. They are doing good service, but they just don't understand my case." "Certainly," was the response. He walked to the desk and asked for the badge. It was given to him and he handed it to President Mitchell. A BANKER'S PROMISE "This part," said he "comes under the American Bankers' Association, and the local committee has charge of their department." The colored bank thanked him. He then went over to a local banker and asked him to take the matter up with the committee and thus avoid further annoyance. He promised he would do so. A few moments afterward, he was in conversation with a group of Richmond bankers. They spoke in a low tone and no one was aware of what was going on as the matter had been so quietly and pleasantly taken up that the people in the hotel lobby were unaware of the occurrence. THE RETURN TRIP The colored banker passed out. On returning Tuesday morning to attend the sessions in the Auditorium of the Jefferson Hotel, every courtesy was extended to him. The local committee met him just as he met them with a smile. The apparent friction had passed and the friendly feeling between the better class of colored people and the better class of white people was in evidence. A leading Richmond banker had also taken the matter up and on Thursday morning inquiries were made by a member of the local committee as to President Mitchell's health and environments. It was all that could be desired. THE PROPER SPIRIT. He met many bankers from different parts of the country and those from the Southland were equally as cordial. This incident was a practical demonstration that an appeal made in the proper spirit to southoners will bring its reward. There was no upatr, no illfeeling and the matter was, adjusted while the hundreds of visitors and home people, were not cognizant of the occurrence. The progress of the colored people hereabouts is due primarily to just this kind of people and the fact is emphasized in a way that many northoners cannot understand: they understand us and we understand them.

There is a growing and genuinely honest disposition on the part of the Negro everywhere to seek the advice as well as the assistance and co-operation of white people in every movement for the common good of the Negroes. There is an increasingly strong feeling on the part of Negro laborers and mechanics for unity and co-operation with similar groups of white artisans, and the white unions are getting more and more the necessity for a closer union of the various classes of skilled workers, and this feeling will continue to grow as men become better trained, better educated, and better Christians. In educational matters also there is a growing sympathy and spirit of co-operation between whites and blacks as never before. The Negro is calling on school officials for a fair and equitable distribution of school funds. He is asking for better schools, longer terms, better pay for teachers, and better equipment; in many cases the Negroes, out of their own earnings, are buying land for the school and often pulling up the schoolhouse, sometimes supplementing the pay of the teacher, this generally being done with the advice and approval of the local school officials, who are making appropriations for school purposes with a liberality such as was never before witnessed.

"Mother!" whispered William Carr, "he's lying to save me." "How noble of him!" murmured Mr. Carr. For a moment Dr. Willoughby had been dumfounded by the queer turn of affair.

Cutting In a case tried in a Philadelphia court the prosecuting attorney had a good deal of fun at the expense of counsel for the defendant, each of whom seemed as stupid as the other. "I ignorance of the law," interposed the judge at a certain juncture, "in no excuse for violation of law." "May I inquire of your honor," asked the prosecuting attorney, "whether your honour's remarks are directed at the defendant or his counsel" — Ex honoree. Take the City of Lifto and Bombard Druges. Heavy Fighting In Northwestern France—French Score, Notsworthy Advance. In northwestern France and southwestern Belgium the Germans continue their advancement in force toward the seacoast. The Germans have occupied the important French city of Lille, in the vicinity of which fighting has been going on for many days. According to the French official account, the city was held only by a territorial detachment, which gave way before the German army corps sent to take it. This indicates that the position was not considered to be of great strategic importance. As an offset, the French announce "a somewhat noteworthy advance" in the region of Berry-Au-Bac, northeast of Soissons, and east of the plateau of Craonne, which has been the pivot of General Von Kluck's advanced position. They also claim gains between Arras and Albert, south of Lille. On the right bank of the Mouse, east of Verdun, the French have advanced. In southwestern Belgium the Germans have reached a point near Bruges, which city is reported to be under bombardment. Bruges is fourteen miles east of Ostend. A German aviator has pushed on to Ostend and dropped two bombs thore, neither of which exploded. The official bulletin issued in Berlin says: The official bulletin issued in Paris says: "There is nothing to announce except a somewhat noteworthy advance in the region of Berry-Au-Bac. "On our left wing our forces have resumed the offensive in the regions of Hazebrouck and Bethune against detachments of the enemy composed in large part of cavalry coming from the front along Balleul, Estaires and La Bassee. "The town of Lille, held by a territorial detachment, has been attacked and occupied by a German army corps. "Between Arras and Albert we have made notable progress. "On the center also we have made progress in the region of Berry-Au-Bac, and we have advanced toward Boudan, in the west of the Argonne and north of Malacourt. "Between the Argonne and the Mouse, on the right bank of the Mouse, our troops who hold the heights of the Mouse to the east of Verdun, have advanced. "To the south of the road from Verdun to Metz, in the region of Apremont, we have gained a little territory on our right and repulsed a German attack on our left. "To sum up, the day was marked by perceptible progress on the part of our forces at various points on the field of battle." That dispositions are being made by both the Germans and the allies for a big battle between Lens and Sassel is deduced from the fragmentary information give hout by the intelligence departments of the belligerent powers. Cassel is eighteen miles inland from the fortified seaport of Dunkirk, on the Straits of Dover. 1. A Times correspondent in the north of France reports strong German columns of all arms passing through Bailleul, department of the Nord, near the Belgian frontier, in the direction of Ypres, in West Franders, Belgium, thirty miles southwest of Ruges. Around Ypres the Germans have concentrated in large numbers. German cavalry patrols have been seen in many places within twenty miles of Dunkirk. These detachments doubtless are pair of a screen thrown out to test the strength of the allies and to mask the movements of the German main body. A Daily Mall correspondent telegraphs: "The fighting around 'Arran has been exceedingly severe and Lena has changed hands at least three times in as many weeks. If the Gormans could succeed in bursting the ring at some part their desperate program might prevail, but so far they have failed, and their forces are hopelessly scattered. "It would be aburd, however, for that reason to say they are negligible. On the contrary, they are still capable of giving great trouble. Their cavalry lies in considerable numbers on the east of Hazebrouck (thirty-two miles northwest of Lille) and in the country surrounding Orchies (sixteen miles southeast of Lille). All their scattered forces in this region are being slowly but surely shepherded in the right direction northward, while the forces threatening Hazebrouck are being driven northward. In short, after weeks of furious fighting they have accomplished nothing worth recording." information gleaned from the Dutch press, from travellers and from other sources points to the conclusion that during the last ten days the German armies in France have been heavily reinforced. There has been a steady flow of traps to western France through Air-Chapelle, and some ten or more Landsaturn divisions must now be added to the German troops. 222 NASHMORE PLANES, RESMOND, VIRGINIA THE LAND OF THE LORD A MESSAGE FROM THE LORD IN THE LAND OF THE LORD LEMBERG RETAKEN; WARSAW MAY FALL Russians Driven Back From All Points. Evading in some mysterious way the watchfulness of the Russian consorship, a report has reached London which shows that for weeks past, apparently, the Russian government has concealed the successful advance of the Germans into Russian Poland and has converted Russian defeats into magnificent victories. The effect of this report is the more crushing in that it shows that all of Russian Poland has been overrun by the kaiser's forces and that Warsaw alone is still in the hands of the czar, though its fall seems imminent. The denouncement came in the form of a message from the American consul in Warsaw. This message told of the impending occupation of the capital of Russian Poland by the Germans and asked for instructions as to the care of foreign interests during the expected period of occupancy. Another report which has served to discount the early advice concerning the successes of the Russian armies in Galleria reached London from Berlin to the effect that Lemberg has been retaken by the Austrians. This, coming on the heels of the reported raising of the siege of Przemysl by the combined Austro-German forces, seems to indicate that the Russians have suffered serious reverses in the last few days of fighting, which they have concealed with the utmost care. It is officially announced at Petrograd that the siege of Przemysl is progressing, according to a dispatch to the Reuter Telegram company from the Russian capital. The Russian artillery is rapidly destroying the forts, which, however, continue an energetic resistance. The Przemysl garrison, it is further announced, down not exceed thirty thousand men. SERVIAN PRINCES WOUNDED George, King Peter's Eldest Son, Reported Mortally Hurt. Crown Prince Alexander of Servia and his brother, Prince George, are reported wounded in the fighting against the Austrians, according to a Berlin dispatch via Copenhagen. Prince George is reported mortally hurt. The crown prince is twenty-six years old, and has acted as regent during the illness of King Peter. Prince George is his elder brother, but was forced to renounce his rights of succession in 1809 in favor of his brother. GUNS TO SIGNAL ZEPPELINS Take to Cellar When Warning Salvo Is Heard, Says Gravesend's Mayor. The only notice of the arrival of hostile air craft in the neighborhood of the Thames and the Medway, in England, says the mayor of Gravesend in a proclamation, will be the firing of guns from the defenses. The notice adds: "Persons seeking to gratify their curiosity will do so at their own risk. When firing is heard the people should immediately take shelter in the lower rooms or cellars of their buildings." Asks Canada For 22,000 More. Orders were received by the war department in Ottawa, Can., for the dispatch of the second contingent of 22,000 Canadian troops to Europe to reinforce the allies. Lure of the Opera. The mode of operas always has been and always will be the lure of its millions of patrons; the singing, too, is frequently brilliant and perfect, but the presentment of scenes from life upon the stage where everything, however commonplace and benazal, is sung, however beautifully, will always sadden the soul by the very impossibility and inappropriateness of the spectacle. Fat temors and sopranos expire in fights of high notes, choruses express various quite unnecessary sentiments with what vocal skill they may, and the average person who likes music and a little logic, ten, is thrown into existence of wondertime - Musical Standard. BRITISH BOER TROOPS MUTINY Command Joins Forces With Invading Germans. MARTIAL LAW PROCLAIMED Colonel Maritz, Head of the Mutiny, Threatens Invasion From Northwest—Disaffection Said to Be Widespread. It has been definitely announced in Cape Town, South Africa, that a command under Colonel Maritz has rebelled in the northwest of the Cape provinces. Martial law has been proclaimed throughout the Union of South Africa. It is understood that the mutinous troops are largely blooms, supposedly serving near the border of German Southwest Africa. The rebellion among the forces of the Northwest Cape province has been brewing since the designation of General Beyers as commander-in-chief of the Union forces. As soon as the government realised this situation it sent Colonel Brits to relieve Maritz of his command. Colonel Brits then discovered that Maritz was commanding German troops as well as his own and that he had German guns in his possession. Maritz, who has been given the German rank of general, had arrested those of his officers and men who were unwilling to join the Germans and had sent them as prisoners of war to German Southwest Africa. According to an official statement an agreement was drawn up between Maritz and the governor of German Southwest Africa guaranteeing the independence of the Union as a republic, ceding Walfish bay and other parts of the Union to the Germans, and undertaking that the Germans should invade the Union only if Maritz asked them to do so. Maritz boasted that he possessed large supplies of guns, rifles, ammunition and money, obtained from the Germans, and that he would overrun the whole of South Africa. "In view of this state of affairs," concludes the official statement, "the government is taking most drastic steps to quell this rebellion and punish all rebels and traitors according to their desserts." The robellion of a section of the Dutch element in South Africa, which broke out with the suddenness of a bolt from the blue, is the first warning note that has marred the harmony in the British empire since the outbreak of the European war. That this rising was real and dangerous was sufficiently proved by official dispatches from Governor General Buxton to the imperial government and by the drastic stop General Louis Botha and his colleagues have taken to stamp it out by declaring martial law in the whole Union of South Africa. It apparently is the belief of General Botha's government that others besides those under the immediate command of Colonel Martiz may have been affected, hence the inclusion of the whole dominion in the order establishing martial law. Germanizing factors are said by the British authorities to have been at work for years in the frontier districts and to have been percolated in southwestern Transvaal and other Dutch districts. Telegrams from Cape Twin say that a majority of the lutch remain also jutely loyal, and this seems to be shown by resolutions drawn up at an emergency meeting of the South Afri can party, which condemned the conduct of Colonel Maritz in the strong est terms. A telegram was dispatched to Preinier Botha unreservedly offering the services of the Cape Dutch it any capacity desired. MEMORIAL TO MRS. WILSON Women Plan Model Block of Houses For Washington Poor. A movement to build a memorial to Mrs. Woodrow Wilson in the form of a model block of sanitary houses in the slum district of Washington has been started by Mrs. Archibald Hopkins, who interested Mrs. Wilson in slum work in Washington; Mrs. Ernest Bicknell, wife of the director of the American Red Cross, and other prominent women. Mrs. Wilson's dying wish was that a bill for the elimination of the unsanitary alleys of Washington be passed, and since her death this has been done. Nothing can be produced out of nothing.

Entered at the Post Office at Richmond, Va., as second-class matter. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1911 Well behaved, colored folks. How well behaved white folks are a valuable asset to any community don't forget that. The opinion of the average banker of the average politician at Washington in dealing with finance will not bear expression in English. "God's help is very essential these days, but the help of the better class of white folks will be of much more service, provided you ask God to help you get it. Germany seems to be looking for everything the same after. Now she is looking with jealous eyes at the land. That country is something of a porcupine and won't bear a welcoming. Colored folks buy more land and improve your financial condition. The white folks will help you if you will help yourselves and they will help you a little sometimes when you don't help yourselves. The "Dry" forces now say that they have spent two hundred and fifty thousand dollars on the Richmond Virginian. This shows that if a man wants to get rid of his money, buy a newspaper, or an automobile. --- First Chief Carraza has resigned twice. The first time it was rejected and the second time, it was accepted. There is such a thing as tendering a resignation too often. Some of one's friends will get the idea that he means it. In our discussion of the B. M. C last week and Mr. Ben, Davis and Mr. Henry Lincoln Johnson and Mr. Edward H. Morris, we inadvertently mixed up the meeting places of the Elks and the Odd Fellows. The latter will meet in Washington instead of in Chicago as stated by us. No wonder Brother Ben, Davis is sharpening his axes and preparing now for the fray. What better place for a row could be found anywhere on the American continent? (except in Mexico). Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson would be at home there and the "machine" could be worried from "start to finish." W. L. Houston, Esq. knows how to do this. In the meantime, Brother Ben. Davis is taking a briefest relative to the Odd Fellows and he is now devoting himself to the interest of the race. Excursion rates will be obtained a long time a head for the next 11 M. C. and unless steps are taken to prevent a harmony plan, the country will be "treated" to a row of a kind and size never before known in the history of fraternal organizations. Atlanta, which now "holds the palm" for disorder will be forced to climb down and make room for Washington. And so it goes. --- We certainly regret to note that the promised reconciliation between the contending factions of the National Baptist Convention was short-lived. Already, the columns of the National Baptist Union are toeming again with denunciations of the distinguished President and his supporters. There may have been abuses but the columns of the organ of the National Baptist Convention are not the place to settle them. Every body knows that no business can be properly done until after a body has been formally organised and a report received from the Committee on Engollment, but the place to object to --- this is in the convention itself. We are of the opinion that these irregularities can be remedied by conferences. We understand that the resolutions adopted prevent a repetition of this error in the future. We are of the opinion that Dr. R. H. Boyd would do well to restrain the enthusiasm of his friends. The attack by Rev. F. H. Cook D. D. of Natchez, Miss., charging that the body was in the midst of a mob is especially unfortunate. The National Baptist Convention has acted. No allegation is made that a minority of the delegates elected the President. Dr. E. C. Morris is a Christian and a scholar, but no man would be willing to stand such attacks in the organ of his own denomination. It is a case of "rubbing it in too deep." If Dr. Morris is a political trickster and a dishonest manipulator, then "on with the game," but if he is not and his bitterest enemies give him credit for upright conduct, then this line of attack has been carried too far. Let us have peace! STILL OPPOSING US. --- Mrs. Alice M. Burroughs, Mrs. S. Eilett, Mrs. E. R. Hill and Mrs. Little Propst are named as the plaintiffs in a bill filed in the City Circuit Court to prevent the confirmation of the sale already made by the Immunel Baptist Church to the Leigh Street Methodist Episcopal Church. They state plainly that their objection is based upon the sale of the church structure to colored people, which people are guaranteed their civil and political rights of citizenship under the law. When it is remembered that this bill is presented to a jubist, of the old Virginia type, to the manner born," the controversy is all the more interesting. Judith K. Carter Scott and his late unmarried father made a reputation for the state for equal and equal justice to all people will come brighten the community area. He is now known to be the deceased one upon the law and the fact that upon race prejudice. There is another affair that causes in color to have certain property owners from what they regard as a certain deprivation on their property the law must be reaffirmed and property rights endangered. As a matter of fact the sale of the Immanned Baptist Church will be the value of property. For it is a fact that colored people pay more money for old property formerly occupied by white people than the white people will pay themselves. It is also very amusing to note that the congregation of Immanuel Baptist Church is anxious to get away from their colored neighbors, who are already in close proximity to them and these ladies are anxious to hold them there and yet are not willing to contribute to the loss that these people will sustain as a result of the overturning of the contract. So far as the colored population in the neighborhood of Fifth and Leigh street are concerned, they are perfectly willing to have the white congregation on that corner. They have been model Christians in their church worship and have made many friends among the better class of colored people. It seems too that they have become equally popular among some of the white people, who have gone so far as to institute court proceedings to prevent their removal. Either way the colored population have need to be congratulated. When we inspect the beautiful suburbs of Richmond, where white people are provided with cosy homes, we smile at the attempt of these people to stop the natural growth of a part of the city's population, although this part is made up of colored people. God's hand may be seen in all of this. To try to stop the onward march of the city's progress is like attempting to dam up James River with a shovel. The better class of white people and the better class of colored people are well satisfied with each other and only the politicians and their sympathizers are the ones who would disturb this relationship. The irritation against colored people, even though they do not participate in politics is so bitter few white men in the city government dare be outspoken in giving a fair and a square deal to one of the most faithful races of people on the face of the globe. Thank God! The judiciary of this State is not so affected and notable instances of this innate spirit of fair play is being manifested. Justice John Jeter Crutchfield, who has been regarded by many as being the "king of Negro-haters" gave a noticeable example of this last week and this is not the first time he lias done so. White men know that they and we must some day "cross the River" and be in the presence of that Judge of judges, where the secrets of the heart shall be made manifest and the right and wrong of all questions shall be decided. - We can and will trust this kind and class of white people, with the abiding faith that all things will be made right after a while.

With an eye single to settling the question of segregation laws for the colored people in this country once for all, leading colored residents of the city will file proceedings in the United States District Court next Thursday attacking the validity of the Qurtis segregation Law. Recently, Rev. W. A. C. Hughes, of Washington, leased the store and dwelling at 1929 Etting street to a Hebrew for a year. The block has been occupied wholly by colored people and a grocery store was run by a now dead When the police learned that the Jew had moved in, they told him he could run the grocery store, but that he and his family could not live there. Though he has expressed willingness to move, the lease funds him to hold the property for a year. The proceedings will take the form of an injunction filed by Dr. Hopkins to secure a foottraining order against the Mayor and City council and the police from interference with the plaintiff in rent-occupancy property, and against the tenant. This will bring before the court the question of a man's right to use his property as he sees fit, and to determine how it may rest with the United States Supreme Court. C. C. Paterson has connected to service attorney without pay. He will have other aid, the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and a leading white lawyer of this city having already volunteered their resistance. TWO OTHER CASES There is a case pending now before the Court of Appeals attacking the validity of the law. It is that of a white owner who was recently convicted of renting a house to a white man in a "colored" block. Mary G. Lilly, who recently moved into the house at 12 S. Pine St. was released for the action of the Criminal Court Wednesday on the charge of violating the aggregation law. The owner of the property was fined last week at the Western Police Station for renting her the property and she was ordered to move but refused. The case is an interesting one as there are only two houses in the block, one of which is occupied by a white family. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is backing her in her efforts to test the law. W. Ashble Hawkins is counsel in the case. The National Association is also behind the movement to test the validity of the segregation in Louiseville, Ky. TO AROUSE INTEREST.

Patrolman Jennings Fined $10 For Striking Prisoner on Trial Before Crutchfield. Furiously angry at the efforts of Martha Booker, a colored woman, to impugn the motive that led him to arrest her, Patrolman G. A. Jennings rushed at her today in Justice Crutchfield's court and dealt her a resounding slap in the face. Apurently deeply incensed at the officer's conduct, Justice Crutchfield hastily issued a bench warrant for Jennings' arrest and fined him $10. The woman was fined $5 on the original charge on which Jennings arrested her, one of disorderly conduct, and was held for trial Oct. 15 on the charge of resisting arrest. "You would not have arrested me Saturday night if I had met you as you wanted me to," was the accusation leveled at the policeman when the Booker woman got an opportunity to testify. Jennings flushed angrily and the next moment struck here. The woman buried her face in her hands and wept loudly for several minutes. As quickly as possible Justice Crutchfield brought the hearing to a close and she was lod out of the prisoner's dock. The courtroom was crowded at the time and the incident created some confusion. Several officers who were standing nearly sprang forward when they saw Jennings advance on the defendant, but the blow had been delivered before they reached his side. He made no effort to strike her again. At police headquarters it was stated by Chief Werner that the police board would take cognizance of Jennings' misconduct. TheHooker woman was arrested late Saturday night on complaint of persons residing in First street, between Cary and Canal streets. They complained to Jennings that she was creating a disturbance in the street. When the policeman arrived with his prisoner at the patrol box at First and Main streets, she attacked him, he said today, and tried desperately to get away. This led to a charge of resistance being preferred against her. The woman is well known to the police and recently resisted being arrested by Patrolman Tiller, it was stated. — Richmond, Va..

My house is brick, a story and a half high and uses all natural gas. For any information apply to REV. G. THOMPSON, Bromsgate, Out. Can. The theater of war in Europe includes the most historic vineyards of the world, and we are threatened with a famine in champagne, burgundy, moselle, hock, and other famous wines, as well as in German beer and Scotch whiskey, because the British army will appropriate all the fighting liquid of Scotland. Here at home, California is threatening to go dry, and Capt Hobson is making war for national prohibition. It is a hard world for the man who wants something stronger than water. But still, there are other substitutes. Dr Oliver Wendel Holmes in his "Autocrat of the Breakfast Table, referred to the French wine with enthusiasm, and in reply to the divinity student's question if he believed in a diet of rum, makes the old autocrat say: "Rum. I take to be the name which unwashed moralists apply allike to the product distilled from molasses and the noblest juices of the vineyard. Burgundy, 'in all its sunset glow' is rum. Champagne, 'soul of the foaming grape of Eastern France,' is rum. Hock, which our friend the poet speaks of as— "The Rhine's-breast-milk, gushing cold and bright. Palo as the moon and maddening as her light. as her light. is rum. Sir, I repudiate the loathsome vulgarism as an insult to the first miracle wrought by the Founder of our religion. I believe in temperance, nay, almost in abstinence, for healthy people. I trust that I practice both.

Among the gentleman I have known, few if any-were ruined by drinking. My few drunken acquaintances were generally ruined before they became drinkards. The habit of drinking is often a vice, no doubt—sometimes a misfortune—as when an almost irresistible heredity propensity exists to indulge in it—but oftenest of all a punishment." The old autocrat then, remarked: "Men got intoxicated with music with poetry, with religious excitement, oftentest with love. Ninan de l'Enclos said she, was so easily excited that her soup intoxicated her, and convalescents have been made tispy by a beefsteak." So, if Dr. Holmes is to be accepted as an authority, the destruction of the vineyards of France, the breweries of Germany, the stills of Scotland, and prohibition in the United States would not prevent men from getting tispy unless we also abolish soun, beefsteak, music, poetry and religion.—Washington Herald, August 12, 1914.

(Copyright 1994 by Associated Literary Press) AFTER supper Mr. Dolby, had gone to the store for a what stone and a paper of carpet tacks, and as he woe Mr. Dolby was singing "The Home Over There" with great feeling. He returned in half an hour, and as he reached the kitchen door the sound of sobbing met his ears. It was Mrs. Dolby. He didn't inquire what it was, but turned about and sat on the doorstep and in an absent way began shampooing a slickle. It was five minutes before Mrs. Dolby volunteered an explanation. "Samuel," she said finally, "when you've got that slickle shampooer you might go over to Mrs. Beesby and tell her that I shall be a dead woman before tomorrow. Tell her right out. She was over here this afternoon, and I said I was liable to get my summons any time." With calm deliberation Mr. Dolby spat on the whelstone. "Yes, Samuel, my time has come," sobbed Mrs. Dolly.

"It is very thick," he said, "very thick," and he jabbed the comb into it. "On the other hand," I pointed out, "my skull is very thin." "Yes, sir." "And the comb is very sharn." He apologized, pulled the comb out and jabbed it back not quite so severely. "Very sharp." "Very thick," we murmured together. "I will thin it out," he suggested. "As long as you get it out painlessly I don't mind." I said. "It's a curious thing." I observed. "For any degree of baldness you provide remedies by the hundreds. You offer to lurkigate the hair, to dress it, to bring it up in the way it should go and to produce it in any quantity." The light of battle came into the assistant's eye. "Yes," he said, picking up a bottle, "this preparation, for instance, is really to be recommended. The famous Crinilline." He held it aloft, and the neighboring assistant barely suppressed a cheer. "I've sold—" "That's all very well," I objected, "but where do I come in?" "Well, sir—he hold out his scissors—these surely are effective." "Cutting only makes it grow more quickly. The beasty stuffs so thick." I complained. "What I want is some stuff for thinning my hair." "For thinning the hair? Yes, sir." He combed the atmosphere thoughtfully. "I should like to sell you something, sir." Of a sudden he slipped excitedly. "I have it!" he exclaimed. He picked up a bottle. "The very thing." He looked round cautiously, bent down toward my car and conquered nervously. "Of course," he said. "this is—or—not a preparation for your particular complaint. I—or—it—between our two selves, sir, it was—or—intended for other purposes." "Yes!" I said. "Hut, sir, it may be lost what you require." "Yes, yes!" I held my hand out for the bottle. "Yes, sir," he whispered. "It may be. At any rate I happen to know for a fact that there is no possible danger of its increasing the growth of the hair." And he handed me the famous Crinilla.

Murray Avalle signed and returned yesterday to City Clerk August the amended segregation ordinance, which has held the centre of the councilmanic stage since the beginning of the movement to soil Immanuel Baptist Church to a colored congregation. Prior to the amendment which is now effective, the segregation law defined the unit block as a street between two parallel streets. A block so defined, which contained whitish residents in the majority was barred to colonization by negroes. Conversely the same restriction was applied to blocks in which a majority of the residents are colored. The law was shown to be incomplete when the congregation of Immanuel Baptist undertook to sell the church to a colored congregation. The church is located on the northeast corner of Fifth and Leigh Street The Fifth Street block between Leigh and Jackson Street is exclusively white. Jackson Street merely enters but does not intersect, Fifth Street. In a case which was tried in the Police Court, Justice Crutchfield held that the whole Fifth Street stretch between Leigh and Duval. Streets was one block in the meaning of the segregation Law, and open to colored residents, because, so considered, the block contained colored people in the minority. Under this ruling the congregation of Immanuel Baptist planned to evade the intent of the segregation ordinance by changing the front of the church from Leigh to Fifth Street. So changed, the church would be on a colored block, and could, therefore, be used as a colored, house of worship. The ordinance, as amended, now prevents the use of the church by a colored congregation, by holding a street that intersects another street or seeing street. This makes the Fifth Street block between Leigh and Jackson Streets, a distinct white block, and closed to colored people—Richmond, Va. Times-Dispatch, Oct. 9. --- FLORECECS. C. NOTES. Mr. R. S.

Lynchburg, Va., Oct. 14, 1914. Greeting: Dear Christian Workers: Near three decades ago, the Negro Baptists in Convention assembled decided upon the establishment of a Negro Baptist Educational Institution. Immediately this decision was materialized in the Virginia Theological Seminary and College, of Lynchburg, Va., an institution for the Normal, Academic, Collegiate and Theological training of the youth of the race. This educational plant has had unprecedented success, marvelous growth, and has wrought wonderfully for Christ's kingdom and humanity. Thousands of young men and women have entered its intellectual portals: hundreds have finished from its different departments, and to-day are in every higher walk of life. This institution is an especial gift of God, a beacon of to mankind. Dear Christian Workers: No educational enterprise, in the history of the race's freedom, has equalled this one, in meriting for the race a permanent standing along constructive and progressive lines. It has demonstrated the moral, mental and spiritual worth of the Negro. It has proved well his fitness, worthiness, his perseverance in a righteous work. It has won for the Negro the high approval of all well-thinking people-white and colored. Today another call is made. Hear, ye faithful Christian workers. A modernly equipped four-story brick structure has been erected for a Girl's Dormitory and to-day_is occupied. This building complete with all equipment moans an approximate cost of ($30,000.00) thirty thousand dollars. Thursday, November 6th, it will be dedicated. Elaborate arrangements have been made for a great dedication exercise. We want to see ten thousand Baptists present. Let all Baptists come. Again, that day we want ($1,10.00) one thousand and one hundred dollars. This amount is, an urgent heed. We are asking, most earnestly, churches to give from five to ten dollars, board members from five to ten dollars, individuals from one to five dollars, just as you feel able to respond to the needs now of a needy cause. Remember the date. Come. If you can not come, answer this with some money. Ministers will please urgently state this to their churches. Yours for God and Education. R. C. Woods, Pres. Va. Theo.

Economy Hints A penny saved is a penny earned— Benjamin Franklin. IN France—even in crowded Paris— every one has a garden, secluded somehow from the gaze of the curious, where the family can gather in fair weather, and these gardens are usually just the courtyards between the crowded houses transformed by a few rows of box, a chestnut tree and maybe a little fountain. In America we cement our courtyards, or if we do not convert them into gardens we put them where every one can see them and rob them of all their home value. In Italy the home is not complete without its touch of outdoors, even if it is only a balcony with morning glories and tomato vines. English people, too, have their private gardens, where they may have their indispensable cup of tea shielded from the gaze of outsiders. But it is a funny thing that most of us Americana, who are so truly outdoor people, content ourselves with having all our home indoors. Gardens we have, surely, but they are usually not gardens in all as the European would understand the term. They are decorations, power beds, arranged for the benefit of the passerbly. We are guildless of fences and walls, and our lawns and arbors and groves might as well be public parks for all the home quality they possess. But one thing we do have that our European counsels have to stand back and admire it the veranda, and all the time we are getting to appreciate the possibilities of the veranda more and more, and the veranda is becoming more and more a part of the home. Of course the first requisite to the hominess of the vernanda is to have it away from the street. The old fashioned idea was to have it plastered over the front of the house an enlarged entrance porch, where we might sit and watch our neighbors as they passed and where they might be us as they passed. But nowadays architects have convinced us that a spacious front vernanda is not absolutely essential to the structural completeness of the house, and we have learned for ourselves that the privilege of privacy is worth more than the privilege of viewing our neighbors. But most of us cannot live in new houses. We must make the most of the old style veranda. And in this work we have several alts—vines and screens and awnings, which, taken together, will effect a good looking shield. A veranda should be the most comfortable and the most hospitable part of the house. It should have some place to recline—a hammock, a steamer chair or a long wicker chair, or a foot rest used in connection with an easy chair, and plenty of servile cushions. Then the veranda should afford opportunities for refreshment. There should be a table where to can be served or cold drinks dispensed, and, if it is excluded enough, where lunch-on or breakfast on a warm day may be simply eaten. A convenient table for this purpose is one of the folding ironing tables which can be closed to form a settle. FOR .THE HOUSEKEEPER. How to Mend an iron Pot or Pan Satisfactorily. Pots and pans, whether of iron or tin (which is only iron tinned over), get holes in their bottoms all too soon to please the economical housekeeper. Then it becomes necessary to call in the tinsmith, who puts a lump of solder in the hole. This soon meets and the hole is there again. But nothing is easier than to repair such holes at home and without the aid of a tinsmith. First of all make the hole round by inserting the point of a knife and twisting it back and forth. Place the pot or pan upon any firm, flat piece of metal, such as an anvil, a bar of iron or an inverted flatiron, so that the hole is immediately over and touching the latter. In the middle of the hole place a shot of about the size of the hole. Any piece of lead will serve if shot be not handy. Now a few sharp blows with a hammer will flatten the hole tightly and overlapping enough to hold it in place. A few strokes with a file and a rub with sandpaper complete the operation. The repair is permanent. It is said that a hole as large as a quarter of an inch in diameter can be mended in this way. HOW TO SAVE JUICE FROM CANNED FRUIT. Almost all canned fruit has a quantity of juice left over, which no one wants and is consequently almost always thrown out. It may be made into a delicious sauce for cottage and bread puddings or may be used as flavoring in tapioca. To make a pudding sauce add a little lemon if it is too sweet or a little sugar if it is too sour and dilute if too strong. Then thicken with flour mixed in with the same amount of butter.

Begin with a good, warm sweater with soap powder gliding it well until the water becomes foamy. Then damp the sweater through the water until thoroughly clean. Do not rub on an board or between the hands and do not rub soap on the garment. Rinse in a second soap water. Do not rinse in clear water. The soap powder in the rinse water will keep the wool soft. Now comes the important part—the drying. If the sweater is hung over a line the weight of the wet sweater will drag them down. First pull the sweater into perfect shape with the hands, drawing it out over the chest and widening the arms and seeing that it does not hang in a point anywhere and that the front edges are straight. Then lay it carefully in the bottom of a pillowcase, folding the sleeves over. Do not push it into the case in a heap. Pin the pillowcase (open) on two lines that are parallel and only a foot apart. The air can then reach the sweater. Hang in the sun on a breezy day. Wash the sweater early in the morning so it can have all day in which to dry. Do not wash it on a damp, still day. A few drops of bluing in the last water will keep baby's little white sweater from turning yellow. How to Preserve Your Linoleum. When your linoleum begins to show signs of wear and dry it carefully without soap (select a time when there will be little or no wear) and apply the following, which will give a fine and lasting polish, not overestaining, of course, but with care it will do a long time: Mix a grit of methylapyr spirits with an ounce of shellac, and when the latter is dissolved apply to the linoleum with a soft flannel. It dries during the process of rubbing in and retains the polish after it is washed. HOW TO ALWAYS HAVE BUTTONS ON WAISTS. Every woman knows how this courageing it is to pick up a mull or not wrest past home from the laundry) and find that selling in the washing or grinding the buttons have yielded out pieces of the material, leaving both sections on either side of each button. It has been suggested that instead of sitting this occur the waist be made with buttonboxes on either side and that the buttons themselves be flamed on a tape the same color as the waist. Then both edges can be buttoned one on top of the other to the tape. The same string of buttons will serve for a number of white waists. For stiff linen waists this arrangement will also be found very convenient. It is much simpler to iron the front without buttons than with, and the buttons can be adjusted on their tape later. --- FOR THE KIDDIES. How to Make Soap Bubbles to Amuse the Children. Making soap bubbles is great sport for the children when they are confined indoors. The first thing to be considered is the preparation of the solution. Plain yellow soap is the most suitable. It should be rubbed patiently into a bowl of tepid water until a heavy lather is formed. Every particle of lather must then be removed from the surface with a spoon. The bubbles will be larger and last longer if a little glycerin is added to the soap water. They may then be blown with an ordinary clay pipe and will grow from five to six inches in diameter without bursting. Molten the forefinger with the soap solution and try to push it through the bubble well toward the center. If the bubble will stand this test the solution is ready for use, but if it bursts when touched more soap must be rubbed into the water until the above experiment can be successfully accomplished. With a correctly prepared solution success in bubble blowing depends mainly upon the observance of two simple rules: First, the solution when once made must never be shaken up or stirred; second, everything upon which a bubble is to be blown must be liberally smeared with the soapy mixture. To blow a string of bubbles, first blow one from the pipe, throw it into the air; blow a second, catch the first, and so on. With practice a chain of five or six bubbles may be formed. It is a simple matter to blow a number of bubbles one inside the other. To do this, first pour a very thin film of solution upon a sheet of glass. Then with a straw blow upon the glass a good sized hemispherical bubble. Now dip the straw a second time into the solution, thrust it boldly through the big bubble and proceed to blow a somewhat smaller one within. Repeat the process as often as possible and a very pretty series of iridescent hemispheres will result. Comparisons "A woman has to give up a great deal after she gets married," sighed Mr. Gabb.

RUMANIA MAY GET INTO WAR Death of King Will Cause a Change in Policy. PEOPLE OPPOSED GERMANY Dead Monarch Planned a Coup d'Etat, to Aid Kaiser, But General Refused to Join Him. That the death of King Charles of Rumania will cause exchange in the policy of that country in regard to the present war and probably result in her entrance into the conflict is the gist of several dispatches received in London from Rome. Italy is watching developments in Rumania. The announcement that KI-Charles was dead caused a sensation in Rome, and on every side it was freely predicted that the dead monarch's strict policy of neutrality would be overruled by the desire of the population to allin the fight against the kaiser and Austro Hungary. King Charles, who died on Satur day, was a member of the house of Hohensilber, and at the beginning of the war was reported to be ready to cast his lot with these countries, but such a course was entered, strong opposition in Rumania, and particularly in the legislature. Recent despatches have said that the king, because of a promise he had made to the kaiser, desired to mobilize the Rumanian army to aid the many in the war. It has been said on many occasions in the last few weeks that Germany counted on the intervention of Rumania. A story published in Paris the latter part of September related that when King Charles asked the cabinet to order a mobilization of the army, one of the ministers replied, "We are quite willing if it is against Austria." King Charles turned to them and said: "I gave my word to Emperor William, and a Hohenzollern keeps his word." The president of the countil here torpedoed, saying: "The country knows no Hohenzollern. It knows only the king of Rumania, who does not have to give his word to anyone whatsoever." King Charles then decided to call a council of the crown, with the former ministers in attendance, but only one sided with him in favor of Germany. It was reported that the King then tried to persuade General Averroco to attempt a coup detat and arrest the ministers, but General Averroco refused, saying, "Sire, you would be the first victim of such an attempt." It also was said that a number of superior officers of the Rumanian army declared that they would desert and join the Russian army rather than fight for Austria. Recent dispatches described King Charles as being seriously ill, but from other quarters his indisposition was declared to be entirely political. It had been predicted lately that he was preparing to abdicate. German Aviator Drops Bombs on Paris A score of bombs, launched on different quarters of Paris by two German aviators, killed three civilians and injured fourteen others. The damage to property was slight. The airmen appeared soon after moon on Sunday. One began the attack by dropping a bomb near the Northern railway terminal, another in the Rue St. Lazare and a third at the rear of the Cathedral of Notre Dame. Three more bombs were hurled by the same airmen in the vicinity of the Bourse. A house was set on fire, but the loss was not great. One of these missiles struck within 100 yards of an office occupied by American newspaper men. The second aeroplane also flew over the cathedral, dropping four bombs, one of which fell on the roof, but failed to explode. A second fell in the square where the bishop's residence is situated. A third struck the parapet of the Qual de Bourton and glanced off into the Seine. The fourth dropped into the Seine near the bridge of Notre Dame. The second Taube appeared to aim at the cathedral, while the other machine attempted to hit the Northern and Bt. Lazaro stations. Altogother twenty bombs fell. The Germans flew at a low altitude. After they had apparently exhausted their supply of missiles, French aerospace ascended and pursued them toward the east. Pendlone Show Falling Off. Uncle Sam paid out a total of $172,417,546 in pensions in the fiscal year ended June 30 last, according to Commissioner of Pensions Saltzgerber, in his annual report made public. This compares with $174,171,660 in 1913, which was the largest amount ever paid out. The commissioner, however, points out that the summit in expenditures has been reached and a decrease in the amount may be expected to continue. The grand total ofponsibilities for pensions was 1866up to and including 1914 was 84,628,811,996. The total number of pensions ofall classes on the rolls was 785,239against 820,272 in 1918. The numberof Civil War pensions were 782,129,compared with 763,439 in 1918. The ```markdown ``` largest number ever on the rolls was in 1912, when there were 399,468. The year was 33,629, or 7.3 per cent. Off Train-Top to Death Paterson, N. J., Oct. 10. In a night between railroad detectives and a party of five unidentified men at a fast freight train travel forty miles an hour, two of the latter were swept to death against overhead bridges near here. The others escaped. The Delaware, Lackawanna & Western fast freight from Hoboken to Pennsylvania cities, carrying a rich collection of valuable items, has been robbed repeatedly of late, and detectives were recently placed aboard it each night. While searching the train the detectives found the men hidden in cars. The light ensued. Fire Sweeps W. Va. Town The entire business district of the town of Spencer, W. Va., was destroyed by fire, with a loss of approximately $300,000. The fire started in a fruit store and spread rapidly because there was no water with which to fight the flames. Little rain has fallen throughout this section in the past two months. Illinois Official a Suicide. The body of Secretary of State Harry Woods was found in the garage in the rear of his residence in Spring Field, Ill. Monday. He had evidently shot himself. The body had apparently been there since Saturday night. The defeat of Woods for the United States senatorship in September is believed to have been the cause of his suicide. T. B.

Hard fighting is reported on the border line of Belgium. In the meantime the siege of Antwerp is progressing favorably to the Germans. Formal notice has been sent to the burgomaster of Antwerp that the city is to be shelled, and all non-combatants were warned to leave. The 'great clash between Russian arms' and the Austro-German troops which have been concentrated along the southeastern frontier of Germany is believed to be on. THURSDAY While the German artillery is shelling the city of Antwerp, the French and British troops which have been advancing in northern France are fighting fortuitly to break through the kaiser's defense and other turn his sank or reach out help to the beleguered Belgian city. German troops which were placed across the path of the allies' flanking movement in northern France, appear thus far to have failed to stop the Anglo-French advance, for dispatches from Paris place the fighting at Menen, Pomerlinghe, Wauerkhem, Ypres and other Belgian cities. The allies' flanking movement has reached nearly to the northern coast of France. Berlin officially announces that the German army under General Von Hindenburg, operating in Russia, has joined a large body of Austrians, and that the combined forces are engaged with the caesar's army north of the Vistula river, near Opatow. FRIDAY On fire in several places, with its outer forts in the hands of the Germans, shells from the Kaiser's heavy siege artillery bursting in the streets and the besiegers attacking the third line of defense, the city of Antwerp is expected to capitulate at any minute. In the meantime fighting of the most severe character is reported in the extreme northeast corner of France and western Belgium, where the Anglo-French army has been trying to break through and relieve the beheaded Belgian city of Antwerp. The joint expected battle between the Russian army of 1,000,000 men, in Poland, and the Austro-German forces of 650,000 under General Von Hisdenburg, is in progress north of the Vistula. SATURDAY. Antwerp and the forts surrounding the city are now in complete possession of the Germans, but the greater part of the Belgian army has escaped. It took the Germans just eleven days to capture the strongest fortress in the world. The Germans, after shelling the city itself for many hours, making it untenable, entered the town through the suburb of Berchem, to the east. They had made a breach in the outer line of forts, some of which were destroyed by the big guns and others blown up by the defenders. In France, according to the French communication, the allies have maintained their positions in several violent attacks at several poles. The cavalry is still engaged along the Belgian frontier and across it, each side trying to work around the other wing. BUNDAY German aviators dropped twenty bombs into various districts of Paris, killing three persons and wounding fourteen others. German troops are advancing swiftly toward Ostend, in Belgium, hoping to capture the city by a sudden attack and make prisoners of King Albert and the Belgian government officials, according to a dispatch from The Hague. German cavalry was signally defeated in battle for the possession of positions necessary for the crossing of the River Lys, in France. The invaders were driven into retreat toward Armentierles. French troops were victorious in a two days' battle for the possession of the village of Apremont, east of St. Mikel, and also on the center of the battle line, where they advanced to new positions after having repeated a night attack of the enemy. MONDAY With Antwerp in their hands, the German army operating in Belgium has begun a move toward Ostend, the temporary capital of the country, where King Albert is reported to have arrived with that portion of the Antwerp defenders which escaped to the westward. Germany's evident purpose now is to prevent the retreating Belgians from Joining the Anglo-French forces operating in northern France near the Belgian border and at the same time to break through to the coast. The Germans have begun a heavy attack near Lille. Berlin reports that a move in force is being made toward Belfort, in Alsace. Paris reports that the attacks near Lille have been repulsed and that the allies have gained ground near Solsons. The Berlin war office officially asserts that the German forces in East Prussia have won a victory over the Russians opposing them, taking many prisoners. Directions thing," said the sentimentalist.

Mrs. Beaver Furnished Them, and He Deceives to Hold the Scheme in Abayances and Take Up Another, but Mrs. B. Finds Places in That Tea. By M. QUAD. [Copyright, 1914, by Associated Literary Press.] M. BOWSER was smiling as he left the office. He chuckled as he took the R. BOWSEB was smiling as he left the office. He reached home with a grin on his face. That he was about to make a break of some sort was apparent to Mrs. Bowser before he had been home five minutes, but she asked no questions, and he managed to contain himself until after dinner. Then he rubbed his hands together, chuckled softly and said: "I suppose that if I should tell you that I expect to make a clean $1,000 a month on the outside for the next five years you'll call it one of my fads, wouldn't you?" "Perhaps not," answered Mrs. Bowser doubtfully. "Are you going to speculate?" "Not at all. I have simply struck a sure thing." "If it's a sure thing it will be nice. What is it?" "I'll tell you, though you won't understand. Not one man in 10,000 "I SHALL BUT A THOUSAND FOR." has a business head on her. I have often wished you knew something of business, so that I could talk to you. It isn't your fault that the Lord created you to read novels and gad around to the stores in search of bargains, and so I don't lay it up against you. I'll tell you what my new move is. I am going into boast. Mrs. Brenner Hits It Right. "I can understand that much," quietly replied Mr. Bowner. "You are going to raise hogs in order to supply the market with pork." "That's the plan to a dot, and you deserve praise for catching on so quick," he says, "a thousand plant. A pig six months old can be bought for a dollar." "And 1,000 plus for $1,000." "That's it. I invest $1,000 in pigs. At the age of two years every pig is ready to be made into pork. The average weight of a two-year-old pig ready for the pork barrel is 200 pounds. Fresh pork is worth 13 cents per pound. That is $26 for every pig, or $25 clear profit. Any man with an ounce of brains in his head can figure $25,000 clean profit in two years. Is there any sad about that?" "I'm sorry I haven't got a business head on me," said Mrs. Bower as she got penicillin and paper, "but I will figure with you a little. Where are you going to fatten your hogs?" "Why, on a farm, of course. You don't suppose I'm going to turn the basement of our house into a pigpen, do you?" "But where is your farm?" "Various Little Overwrights. Mr. Bower's jaw dropped. He hadn't secured on a farm." "A farmer figures that it costs 6 cents per pound to make pork for market," continued Mrs. Bowyer. "Those are the figures even when he owns his farm and grows his own corn. It will take, in addition to all other feeds, at least twenty bushels of corn for every one of your pigs. Have you figured on buying 20,000 bushels of corn, Mr. Bowyer." He began to finish up and breathe hard, but made no reply. "To care for a thousand hogs you must at least hire five men. It will cost you quite a sum to get them together. There will be more or less to figure on. You must also figure on butchering and getting your pork to market. And you haven't counted in—" "Woman, do you take me for a fool?" shouted Mr. Bowyer as he jumped off his chair and frightened the family cat under the piano. "Not at all," she calmly replied. "A bed would go into this bog scheme and lose $2,000 instead of making $25,000, but you won't." He didn't know whether to bluff it out or give in gracefully, but finally decided to do the latter. Her facts and figures were beyond dispute and had held him gold, but he feared she would not nailed it over it. Something Better. "Of course," he said, "I should have figured it to a penny, before hawking money. What you say is all good work, but we'll let it go for a time. In fact, the bag scheme was a secondary master. I've got a better thing." "Why and what it over with me? not, and M. Boyer. "You won't comprehend it, of course, but I'll give you an outline of it. How much do you suppose a man in Ohio has made out of chickens in the last year? "A thousand dollars, perhaps." "Over $5,000 clean money, and next year he will double that amount. I've got my facts and figures down pat, and I'm going into chicken raising." "What are your facts and figures? You can't understand them, but I'll give you a few. I'll start in with 1,000 beans." "Where do you start?" "Where do I start? Perhaps you imagine I'm going to make a hen roost of the top of the house! I start in our back yard, of course. I buy 1,000 hens at 25 cents aplee." "I don't know where you are going to do it," said Mrs. Bowser. "The very lowest figure you can make is 50 cents, and the fowls will be common at that. Having got your threshers hens together, then what?" "Then I depend on eggs and chickens" replied Mr. Bowser. "I figure on 500 eggs per day. We'll call it fifty dozen, and put the price" at 20 cents per dozen. Or 10 per dozen for aure. One thousand hens ought to batch 10,000 chickens per year. Each chicken will readily sell for." Again Figure Rise Up to Tear Him. "Just wait a minute. We begin with the back yard. We have an area of 30 by 45 feet. One thousand hens wouldn't have room to snap their wings in that space." "Are you trying to make out that I don't know enough to come in when it rains?" shouted Mr. Bower as he bobbed up with furious gustures. "Not all. You are going into poultry. You are going to make a fortune. I haven't a business head on me, of course, but I can figure a little. You might coop up fifty hens in the back yard, but not more. As to eggs, if you get 200 a day from 1,000 hens you would do well. The increase would not be half what you figure. Then you have not figured on the expense of lumber and carpenter work for the barn, nor for feed and help. You see." "Yes. I see. Of course, I see. I see that you know nothing about poultry. I tell you that any man with an ounce of brinns can make $5,000 a year out of 2,000 fowls." "Well, let us see how it is done." "It's done in a business way, of course." "Then we'll figure in a business way. You will want lumber and nails for the coops, and there will be carpenter work. How much lumber?"— "Not a plank, not a board, not a foot!" howled Mr. Houser. "But how are you going to do it?" Mr. B. Goes Clear Off the Handle. "None of your business! I go to work and invent a plan to make $5,000 a year as easy as rolling off a log. I come home feeling pleasant over it. Like an ass I state my plan to you, and you immediately and maliciously set out to tear it to pieces. Woman-" It was lucky for Mr. Bowyer that just then he heard the voice of a trump in the basement hall asking the cook for a bite to eat. It offered him a diversion, and he took advantage of it. He turned from Mrs. Bowyer and rushed downstairs followed by the cat, and he fell upon that unsuspicuous trump like a thunderbolt. There was a mix, three or four whoops and yells, and then the trump broke loose and spread his wings and made for the street. He didn't stop to open the gate, but went over the fence like a bird, and the chase was over. When Mr. Bowyer returned to the sitting room pencil and paper had disappeared, and the diplomatic Mrs. Bowyer was looking into the family almanac to see what day of the week the next Fourth of July would fall on. Bomb Scare In New York. Police reserves from the Fifty-first street police station in New York were rushed to St. Patrick's cathedral, following a report that two bombs had been thrown into the edifice. Later the police said that the explosion was caused by a hot-air box used for heating purposes. It was near the altar, and when it exploded it shattered several windows and injured one man.

In youth we are looking forward to things that are to come; in old age we are looking backward to things that are gone past; in manhood, although we appear indeed to be more occupied in things that are present, yet even that is too often absorbed in vague determinations to be vastly happy on some future day when we have time—Colton. In a Perfume Factory Musk is perhaps the most valuable and delightful of all perfumes, yet the refiner—as he opens the most pods must wear thick, cloth over mouth and nostril, no regulator is the odor that the pods emit. Indeed, this odor, inhaled for any length of time, causes nosebleed. Clove, harissa and ambergris have in small quantities a delicious perfume, but in large quantities they smell so abominable as to give the worker nausea. The hawthorn blossoms is delicately sweet, and perfumery prince it highly, yet a rocous of hawthorn blossoms smells like a charred house. This, too, is in type of the tuba. Economy Hints A penny saved in a penny earned—Benjamin Franklin. THE washing of frocks and muslin blouses becomes a serious item in the laundress' bill during the hot weather months, yet a very little trouble enables the novice to undertake the blouse washing, and when she becomes proficient in the art it is but one step more to undertake the home laundering of washing frocks. The saving of the laundress' charges is not the only economy. When the owner washes a blouse she has a proprietary interest in it and trusts it with lighter handling than it receives from a washing machine. First with regard to the washing of the blouses. A warm lather should be prepared. Shred thinly two ounces of castle soap or any pure mild laundry soap. Pour on the shredded soap a gallon of, boiling water and stir it vigorously with a smooth stick. Add a tablepoonful of powdered borax and two gallons of cold water. This is sufficient for two or three blouses, but if the number of blouses is increased there must be a corresponding increase in the quantity of lather. Shake the blouses out of doors and immerse them in the lather. Leave them soaking for half an hour, add another quart of boiling water and then squeeze and knead the blouses until all traces of dirt have disappeared. Rub a little soap on the parts that are very soiled, but do not rub the blouses themselves. Squeeze the blossoms from the washing water and empty the bath. Replace the blossoms and stand the bath under a running tap until all traces of soapiness have disappeared. If treated in this way blue rinsing water is not required, but in case of a scarcity of water a little liquid blue should be added to the second rinsing water to overcome the yellow tint which the soap clays. Prepare a bowl of starch. Mix a tbblepouffal of blue starch to a smooth paste with a little cold water. Pour a pint of boiling water gradually on the paste, stirring it all the time until a thick, clear jelly is formed. Stir in a teapoonful of gum water made by covering a pennyworth of gum-arabic with a pint of water and pouring off the clear part when the gum is dissolved and settled. Cover the bowl with a plate to prevent a skin forming on top of the starch, and when it is cool enough to be borne by the hands place the blosses in the starch. Knead them well so that the starch penetrates all parts. Wring them from the starch and clap them. Clapping is the secret of success in clear starching. It is invariably done by French laudresses when they are getting up fine muslins and lace. The object is to prevent the starch being cooked by the hot iron in mighty patches between the threads. Take the blouses one by one and lay each on a clean kitchen table. Clap the hands with a layer of muslins between and continue until every part looks clear and new. Hang the blouses out of doors to dry, but take care that colored muslins or those printed in color are not exposed to sunshine while they are wet. A faded blouse is a pathetic figure, but it can be avoided by setting the colors. This is done by soaking the blouse in a quart of water in which a teaspoonful of slum is dissolved before washing it as described for white muslin blouses. Further, the colors can be revived by rinsing the blouse in a quart of water containing a teaspoonful of vinegar, but most important of all is to dry the colored blouses in the shade. When dry each blouse should be rolled in a towel which has been lightly wrung from cold water. In this they should rest for at least an hour so as to become equally damp, and indeed it is a good plan to pack the rolled blouses closely together and leave them all night. How to Utilize Scrape at Silk and Ribbon Do not throw away your old ribbons and silk scraps. They make beautiful mats, and, if you have enough of them, a lovely slumber robs may be made for your divan or cover for one of its cushions. Wash and iron rolled ribbons, as faded places, will not show, and cut all the silk and satin pieces you have into strips the width of a lead pencil. The stripe may be any length, and the more colors are jumbed the better will be the result. Sew the ends of the strips together as though they were being sewed for a rag rug and roll the lengths into a ball. With a coarse crochet needle crochet in plain chain stitch round or square mats for tables and stands, cushion covers or divan throw. If the colors have been well mixed the effect will be a rich bluebrown color scheme, made soft and pleasing by the roughness of the raw edges of the silk. It is possible to use only two or three colors and to crochet these in a pattern or in alternate rows of different colors, but this arrangement is not as attractive and does not give as lasting pleasure as the blurred Persian effect produced by crocheting well mixed lengths of silk together. THREE GOOD IDEAS. How to Realize the Possibilities of the Turkish Towel. The Turkish towel, with its affinity for the wash tub, has many practical possibilities, three of which are a laundry bag for the inside of a closet door, both slippers and a folding traveling another way. To be successful the bath slippers are all made of the same material and one is placed to sit next to eight white benches, four to be placed on top of the bag and four on the bottom of the pocket. Cute little bath slippers are quickly made by shaping the uppers from Turkish toweling and the regulation bed room slipper soles. Cut the towel is the shape of an apron pocket, about eight inches on the straight side and six inches deep. The straight edge is hemmed or bristled and fastened to the soles in the usual way. A perky little bow of wash ribbon or a simple rose or two in French knots on the top of the upper completes a little pair of slippers which even a bath cannot spell. A traveler's case to hold the usual toilet articles can be made quite attractively and durable if Turkish toweling is used in place of the usual cretonne. The case should be made in the usual style, about 9 by 18 inches, lined with rubber and arranged with pockets to hold brush, comb, wash cloth, apogee, soap, tooth paste, brush and a buttonhook. The outside cover of Turkish toweling is decorated with the initials of the owner in French knots on the back, and perhaps a border of knots around the outside edge corresponding to the color of the wash ribbon to be used to tie the case when folded. How to Keep the Refrigerator Clean. Cleanliness does come "next to godliness" as regards your refrigerator—more perhaps than in any other part of the establishment. The housekeeper's first aim regarding her refrigerator must be absolute cleanliness. A few hints concerning this article may be helpful to the inexperienced: Look over the feblock daily. Wash it at least three times a week. If the pipe connecting the ice chamber and dip pan is adjustable it should be removed and scaled once a week, for you will be surprised to notice the green allure that forms an inside conting. Do not simply empty the dip pan once or twice daily. Clean it regularly also. There is nothing better for the purpose than old fashioned anisoda combined with plenty of boiling water. Never be guilty of putting ice in the chest wrapped in newspapers. That is well enough to keep in a box or tub and is good at times. It is more sanitary to wash ice before placing it in the ice chamber, and you avoid the risk of clogging the waste pipe with particles of straw and sawdust. Didn't Have a Bully Time.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1914 HILLS OF GOD. The hills of God are hard to climb. Oh, tender little feet! They stand up high above the plain And beckon to the wind and rain. And one is faith and one is pain. Oh, tired little feet! The upward trails are flanked with thorns. Oh, little pilgrim heart! The stones that shine so white ahead Where you must leave your passions, dead. Oh, little pilgrim heart! But, oh, the hills of God they lean so close Against the feet of God. You see from their sunlit crest The goal that is your prayerful quest And hear the voice you've loved the best. High on the hills of God. —Sarah Beaumont Kennedy. THOUGHTS ON MAN. In one respect man is the nearest thing to me, so far as I most do good to men and endure them.—Aurelius Antoninus. Men in great place are thrice servants—servants of the sovereign or state, servants of fame and servants of business.—Bacon. A man is the whole encyclopedia of facts. The creation of a thousand forests is in one scorn, and Egypt, Greece, Rome, Gaul, Britain, America, he folded already in the first man—Emerson. AN QLD BATTLEFIELD. The softest whisperings of the scented south, And rust and roses in the cannon's mouth, And, where the thunders of the fight were born. The wind's sweet tenor in the standing corn. With song of larks, low lingering in the gloom. And blue skies bending over love and home. But still the thought—somewhere upon the hills Or, where the vale ring with the whippoorwill Sad, wistful eyes and broken hearts that beat For the loved sound of unreturning feet And when the oaks their leafy banners wave, Dream of a battle and an unmarked grave! —Frank L. Stanton. PERSONAL INVESTIGATION Piggins Hear of Something New and Tries to Buy the Article. BUSINESS was rather slow that day in the only shop in the village. Though they sold every- thing there from a box of matches to a white elephant, not a single copper had been passed over the counter. As the church clock struck midday the bored assistant cast a hopeless eye up the narrow street. Only one figure was to be seen coming toward the shop, and he was on the other side of the road. It was old man Figgina. A look of hope came into the assistant's eyes. Yes, the old boy was crossing the street and making straight for the shop! He entered. "Mornin', morpim!" he said heartily. "Tye just looked in to buy an average. Let's have a look a some, will yer, young feller?" "An average, did you (eay, sir?) said the assistant blankly, "Yes, yes; same what old Bruggine brought." "What's it like, sir?" asked the unfortunate fellow behind the counter. "Ow should I know?" answered Figgins angrily. "All I know is he old Bruggins told me as 'ow's got a ben what lets twenty-five eggs a week on an average, an' I wants one, too—to treat 'em out and let's have a look at them."—London Answer.

Today civilization's sole hope lies in the spirit and energy of those who labor in America's industries. Today the manhood of America guards the gates of peace to keep the world from famine and to preserve for all mankind the accumulated achievements of centuries of endeavor. With Europe plunged into bloody strife, with its manhood removed from useful production, its intelligence devoted to destruction and its farms and industries lying idle, the burden of human progress at this time rests upon the men and women of America. It is a time that should call forth the best in every American citizen. It is a time for the people of America to stand shoulder to shoulder. It is a time for every class to forget petty differences and to unite to meet the great emergency and the greater responsibility confronting the nation.

Had he and I but met By some old ancient man, We should have set us down to wet Right many a nipperkin. But ranged as infantry And staring face to face, I shot at him, as he at me, And killed him in his piece. I shot him dead because— Because he was my foe. Just so; my foe, of course, he was; That's clear enough, although He thought he'd list, perhaps, Offhand like—just as I— Was out of work—had sold his traps— No other reason why. Yes; quiet and curious warriors. You shoot a fellow down. You'd trust it met where any bar is Or help to half a crown. —Thomas Hardy. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. A BACHELOR'S REVERE.

"I'm afraid that I am not good enough." "Good enough for what?" queried little wifey with a puzzled expression.

Harris, D.S. director of the Census, Department of Commerce, which will contain all the principal information obtained through the census regarding the number and distribution of the negroes, their rate of increase, their sex and age distribution, and their marital condition. Figures for illiteracy and school attendance and the occupations of negroes will also be presented, as well as data on negroes in Agriculture and on mortality among negroes. This bulletin is preliminary to a detailed report on negroes in the United States to be issued later, which will be a complete analytical presentation of the statistics concerning the negroes. NEGRO POPULATION OF THE UNITED STATE The bulletin will show that the number of negroes in the United States (exclusive of outliving possessions) in 1910 was 9,827,763, and they formed 10.7 per cent of the total population. In 1900 the number of negroes was 8,833,994, of 11.6 per cent of the total population of that date. The increase among the negroes during the decade was 993,769. Or 11.2 per cent, as compared with an increase of 20.8 per cent among the native whites and of 30.7 per cent among the foreignborn whites. The growth of the negro population results from their own natural increase while the growth of the white population is accelerated by the great influx of immigrants and the high birth rate in immigrant families. Of the total number of necropsy in 1910 about one-fifth were reported as mutilato; this is, as having some white blood. The proportion that mutilates formed of the total negro population increased from 12 per cent in 1870 to 15.2 per cent in 1890, and to 20.9 per cent, in 1910. URBAN AND RURAL DISTRIBUTION Nearly three-fourths of the negroes (7,138,534, or 72.6 per cent) were rural dwellers, while about one-fourth (2,689,229, or 27.4 per cent) lived in towns or cities of at least 2,500 inhabitants. The negroes formed 14.5 per cent of the rural population of the United States as compared with 6.3 per cent of the urban. In the Southern States the great majority of the negroes lived in rural districts, while of the negroes of the North and of the West a large proportion were city dwellers. Of a total of 2,953 counties in the United States there were only 110 in which there were no negroes, and there were 53 counties in 1910, as compared with 55 counties in 1900, in which 75 per cent of the population was negro. There were 263 counties in 1910 in which 50 per cent of the population was negro. SEX AND AGE In 1910 there were 4,855,851 negro males in the United States, as compared with 4,941,582 negro females, the number of males to 100 females thus being 98.9 as compared with a ratio of 106 for the whites. The negroes were the only race in the United States in which were more females than males. The age distribution of the negroes was as follows: Age group, all ages (includes persons of unknown age.) Number. 9,827,763, per cent. distribution. 100. Under 5 years. Number. 1,263,288 per cent dis. 12.9. Five to 14 years. Number. 2,401,519, per cent. dis. 24.4. Fifteen to 24 years, Number 2,: 091.211 per cont. dist. 21.3. Twenty-five to 44 years, number. 2,638,178, per cent. dist. 26.8. Forty-five years to 64 years, number. 1,108,103, per cent. dist. 11.3. Sixty-five years and over, number. 294,124, per cent. dist. 3.0. The age distribution of the necrose does not differ materially from that of the native whites. The negro males in the United States of voting age numbered 2,468,872 in 1910, and the negro females of voting age numbered 2,427,742. SCHOOL, ATTENDANCE AND ILLITERACY. Of the negroes 6 to 9 years of age 458,954, or 49.3 per cent, were reported as having attended school during the school year 1890-10, of those 10 to 14 years of age, 781,995, or 68.6 per cent, were reported; and of those 15 to 20 years of age, 328,750, or 26.5 per cent. In each age group the percentage of school attendance was much lower for the negroes than for the whites. Of the total number of negroes 10 years of age and, over, 2,227,-731, or 30.4 per cent, were reported as illiterate; among the whites the percentage of illiteracy was 5, being 3 among native whites and 12.7 among foreign-horn whites. The percentage of illiteracy among negroes decreased from 57.1 in 1890 to 44.5 in 1900, and to 30.4 in 1910. THE NEGRO IN AGRICULTURE The bulletin will contain information by states, and also by counties, about negroes in agriculture. The total number of farms operated by negroes in 1910 was 898,270; of this number, 218,972 were operated by their owners, 672,064 by tom- ants, and 1,424 by managers. The number of farms owned by negroes increased by 31,175, or 16.6 per cent, between 1900 and 1910, and the number of negro tenants increased by 115,790, or 20.8 per cent, during the decade. The total value of farm property operated by negroes in 1910 was $1,144,181,000, as compared with $499,941,000 in 1900 indicating that the value of agricultural property operated by negroes increased considerably more than twofold during the decade. The statistics show that 1,806,727 negro males and 1,050,849 negro females were engaged in agriculture. MORTALITY STATISTICS The forthcoming bulletin will contain for the first time a statement regarding mortality among the negroes. All previous conus publications have given statistics for the total colored population, in which was included the Chinese, Japanese, Indians, and other non-white. The data will be shown for the registration area of the United States, which includes the registration states and certain selected cities. The death rate among negroes in 1910 in this area was 25.5 per 1000, showing a decrease as compared with the rate in 1900, which was 29.4, and the death rates for 1910 show many decreases, especially in the southern municipalities. --- JUDGE TERRELL IN RICIMOND. His Honor, Robert H. Terrell Judge of the Municipal Court of the District of Columbia arrived in this city last Monday afternoon at 2:50 o'clock. He was met at the train by John Mitchell, Jr., President of the Mechanics' Savings Bank and taken to the residence of Mr. and Mrs. W. B. F. Thompson, No. 20 W. Leigh St.' where he was domiciled during his brief stay in this city. Later, in company with Mr. Mitchell, he went for a drive around the city. On Tuesday morning, Mrs. Maggie L. Walker carried him in her electric car to visit her institution and other places of interest. He was entertained at lunchtime Tuesday afternoon at Mrs. Thompson's residence in company with Mr. John Mitchell, Jr. and Mr. A. W. Holmes. He left for Washington at 2:50 P M. after having taken an automobile trip in Mr. Price's new Killiney car He was delighted with his stay here LYNCHING AND "CIVILIZATION" Those of us who think this country is the seat of the world's conscience, the last word in civilization, the citadel of the rights and liberties of mankind, might have to change our opinion slightly if we could see our solves as others see us. Just now, when we are putting our solves up as final arbiter's in the conflict of nations, and are filled with "richness indignation" over alleged barbarities and atrocities in the theatre of war, the Independent comes along with these disquieting reflections: That this is a barbarous country, in spots. Is undeniable when we learn that in 1913, as many as 73 colored men and women were killed by mobs, lynched without trial. The crimes charged against them were various, some serious, others trivial. Some of the victims were doubtless innocent. The figures prove a shocking degree of barbarism to exist with us, and the only relief we find is that there is a pretty steady decrease in the number. In 1892 there were 155 lynched, and 154 the next year. At this rate of decrease we may be quite civilized 20 years from now. There have been only twenty lynchings in the first six months of the present year. Here is a record of atrocities for which we venture to say no parallel can be found in any of the "barbarous" nations now at war, and compared with which the atrocities charged against the German soldiers would appear for the most part as trifling indiscretions incident to the heat of war. Before we throw any more stones at the Germans, let us be sure we are not living in a glass house. If war is what Sherman said it was, it is natural to expect a few human devils in any army of three or four millions of men engaged in deadly conflict; but who would expect to find mobs of human devils at work in times of peace at the very feet of Liberty Enlightening the World? Meantime, we should like to direct the attention of Mr. Wilson and the southern gentleman, who sit in the saddle at Washington to this paragraph from an address to the people of the United States issued by our colored brethren at their recent convention in New York city: Let the American people, and especially the President, in view of the bloody war of all Europe and the probable grant of freedom to Ireland and suffrage to women, freedom to the Poles and Finns and relief from segregation and political disabilities for the Jews, induced by needs of warring nations, remember that twelve million native citizens in this country are worse prescribed than those of Europe. We appeal to President Wilson to free colored Americans from Jim-Crow cars, disfranchisement, lynching and segregation, especially under the federal government at the federal capital, now, rather than await some awful war here. Whatever Mr. Wilson may think of Jim-Crow cars, disfranchisement and negotiation at the federal capital, he cannot be unmindful of the right of the colored race to protection against the mob, to the legal presumption of innocence which is accorded every other class of citizens, and to legal trial and legal punishment if proven guilty. The crime of lynching constitutes a blot upon Uncle Sam's escapade which must be wiped out before Uncle Sam is entitled to sit in judgment upon the morals or civilization of any nation on earth. He cannot preach morality and civilization for others and himself remain uncivilized us- --- Watch this space next week for the Clef Club of New York. --- less he whiten to appear in the eyes of the world as the most consummate hypocrite in oil history. Civilization, like charity, begins at home. Exchange A WORD OF CHER FROM STAUNTON. The Queen Among The Hills. Beloved Editor Mitchell: A voice is heard from the hills of North West Virginia, which says to your fair and noble sons who are honored with the first kiss of a rising Sun, "It is well with us." As richest the vision of man to behold the brows of these eternal peaks, so loft goes his ambition to do and dare and his faith in God to trust and obey. Every branch of our city life is on the upward march, men and women are bestirring themselves as never before along business lines and as a result of this our bank is in a flourishing condition, like the green bay tree. Our Insurance Companies are lifting high their banners of victory and success. Our colored merchants march beneath a star of hope, on behind which is rising a glorious sun of prosperity. Our new drug store which is owned and operated by Drs. Hunks and McGaffy, is the pride of all progress lovers, in the face of this hopeful state of our business and social life the doctors and undertakers are not made to cover their faces in shame for their business keeps abreast with the line of march. SECRET OF OUR PROSPERITY "Not by might nor by power, but by my spirit says the Lord of hosts." We are pressing to the front and feel no fear of retreat, because God is our father and Christ, our elder brother is general of our forces. The preachers of this city are on the wall as watchmen and consecrated heralds, giving to the people God's orders seasoned with grace and illuminated by heavenly fire. At the great Mt. Zion Baptist Church where the young and noted Dr. J. C. Austin is lifting up the name of Our blessed Lord; the spirit tide still runs high and the people are flocking from all parts of the city when ever Zion's doors swing wide. That they may hear from Heaven, Dr. Austin not only believes in giving the people of Staunton, the advantage of his earnest research and rich food which comes in answer to prayer, but he is always casting about for the best talent of the denominations that the faith of his flock might never waver. From the National Conventions, he brought to us Rev. W. H. Skipwith, B. D., our international preacher and singer, who is now conducting a battle against the devil here and every night Mt. Zion is crowded with anxious saints and sinners to hear this great man of God. Since the battle began, on October 4th, many souls have accepted Christ as King and Sailor and many are seeking his love to know. All Staunton is thankful to God for such a consecrated Christian and earnest preacher as Rev. Skipwith has proven himself to be here. The meeting is still on and we would Watch th next weel Clef Club York. like to keep the Dr. over next week but Clifton Forge has claimed him and he must go. The old and young of Zion are dropping out of line by death. At this writing, Deacon Fleming Scott, one of Zion's oldest deacons, lay cold in death. He passed into the great beyond Monday morning and will be laid to rest Wednesday 8:30 P. M. He had served as deacon 16F 35 years and a good one he was. On last Tuesday, Hey J. C. Austin preached the funeral of a young man Mr. Samuel Brookage 21. He was a splendid young man and of a good Christian home; he for two years had been student of Howard University. The sermon was a powerful message to the young men whose chances are still good and a soothing balm to the family. Samuel died in full triumph of faith. This at one time was a large active family in Zion, with Father, Wm. Brooks as deacon but now the most of them have fallen asleep and to that end Rev. Austin concluded his remarks with this his original poem: THE FAMILY TREE. I strolled among the forest woods, Of human shrubs and trees In flourishing array one stood. With progress as its leaves. Two mighty branches was this tree, Husband and wife in Love. Beneath its boughs so merrily. Ten children played about. The season changed the years marched on.
