The palatial 12:01 train was all that a passenger could wish. My ticket and reservation had been sec- ured for me by the capable officials of this line and in this respect was similar to the service previously ren- dered by the Richmond Transfer Company. FINE ACCOMMODATION The excellence of the arrangement however, was all the more apparent after I boarded the palatial "Broadway Limited" of the Pennsylvania R. R. Co. at Harrisburg, Pa. The trip was without incident to Washington. The porter, the "red-cap," at Washington, regarded me with that deferential respect to which passengers are entitled. Arriving at Washington on time, at 2:45 P. M., as I passed out to the main waiting room, I met Mrs. Mary F. Scott and her sister, Miss L. Norman. RICHMONDERS THERE. I looked towards the Information Department and I saw a familiar figure. It was Mrs. Harriet E. Thompson. She was waiting for her husband. James. I walked over to him and joked him. They were returning from Boston, where they had been attending the sessions of the National Organization of Good Samaritans. It was about time for me to take the $1:10 P. M. train for Harrietburg, Pa. There was no dining car on this train and when a vender of sand-wiches appeared at the Baltimore Station, I parted with 15 cents for one of the tongue variety. The entering of Harrisburg with its many improvements and double tracking arrangements is unique and interesting. It was here that the Pullman was attached to the "Broadway Limited," while the train left at 7:25 P. M. A RICHMOND BOY'S ANXIETY. This modern train; left at 6:50 P.M. M. The former would arrive in Chicago at 5 P.M. Wednesday, while the "Broadway Limited" was guarded to reach there at 9:45 Wednesday morning. As soon as it pulled out, I sought the club car and later entered the dining car. Here I was surprised to meet Mr. Edward R. Carter, Jr. He ran the risk of being reprimanded in his desire to talk to me about mother, father and home. WANTED TO GET HOME. He wanted to get a "run" to Richmond. His father is mail clerk in the Richmond Post Office. Bright eyed, quick witted. I was impressed with his appearance. He was a "sawing waiter," which I analysed as being a substitute. He would leave me at Altoona. He promised to get back to my car before he left, but I did not see him again. I met Porter W. E. Agoe, of Jersey City, in charge of the club car. He recognized me. He formerly lived in Richmond. Porter Wm. White was also on the Pulman. I decided to go from one end of that palatial train to the other. I saw the press-in department, the barber shop and the baths. HIGH PRICES PREVAIL A shave was 25 cents, a haircut 50 cents and a bath 75 cents. These prices do not include the tips. No wonder only wealthy men and their ladies travel on this train. I saw the library with its assort- ment of books. A ladies maid (col- ored) with her white head-piece at- tended to the ladies. There were daily papers, weekly and monthly magazines. .. A. QUESTION OF MONEY. A white photographer rendered two lives to the passengers. He wrote short-hand and he used a typ- ewriter. This train even has a tali- ne coaster. When in the terminal station, it is connected up and the company can correspond with any- one on the train in the depot. People often explained the $5 cent cess fare. "It is $8 excess fare from New York and $6 from Washington. The regular time from New York to Chicago is 28 hours. This train runs the distance in 29 hours, and a charge of $1 per hour is the result. A REFUND PROMISED If we go into Chicago one hour late you get $1 back and if you get in two hours late, $2 is refunded, and so on until you get all of the excess fare back. We rarely go in behind time! This train was for the business man, where time to him is money. I listened with rapt attention. It was one of the ways of the world. Here was a case of where passengers who started with me from Washington would reach Chicago six hours after I did. HAD TO PAY THE PRICE I had to pay though, $6 for the saturation of seeing the city. I was to leave Chicago at 6:35 P. M. and would have a day in which to see friends and transact business. I went to bed that night thinking deeply. I awoke as the chilly blasts came through the screen of my rabbed Window. I lowered it and fell asleep. It was twelve minutes to six when I got up and I had the lavatory to myself as I prepared my toes. I got breakfast and then went into the observation car and watched the railroad ties on the rock bathed road as they appeared to be going in an opposite direction. I went to my sleeping car and discussed the war with the conductor and the porter. The former drew from his pocket a photograph of his father and his mother and the children. He was the oldest of them all. His parents (Continued on Page S.) Rev. Nickerson Leaves for Hinton W. Va. Rev. J. J. Nickerson passed through the city last Thursday, en route for Hinton. W. Va., where he goes to take charge of his new field of labor. He reports a lovely close of his work at the First Baptist Church in Williamsburg and the Ebenezer Baptist Church in New Kent County. The choir members led by Mr. S. K. Harris, presented him a nice little purse, while many other friends made handsome personal donations. The members and friends of the Ebenezer Church were not a whit behind in making their outgoing pastor feel that his efforts had been appreciated, and declaring that their doors would always stand open for him. He is very grateful to both fields for their kind words and standing invitations. He shall ever keep their kindness in mind and call to see them when opportunity permits. He asked that the Planet follow him as friend and companion in his new field of labor. BUY8 A CAR. Mr. W. M. Spratley, our well known and enterprising fellow citizen, of Petersburg, Va. recently purchased a large touring car. The machine is a thoroughly up-to-date model, is equipped with all the latest appliances. When seen by a Virginian reporter, Mr. Spratley said his intention was to place this car at the service of the colored people of the city who wish high class automobile service. Mr. Spratley is being congratulated on his excellent purchase. EVANGELIST SKIPWITH IN CHICAGO, ILL. Chicago, Ill., Sept. 8. — National Baptist Convention is now in session here with over 20,000 people in attendance and still they come. Dr. H. H. Morris, president, is holding the navel. Rev. W. H. Skipwith, the sweet singer, is electrifying the audience with song. CARD OF THANKS. Richmond, Va. Sept. 9, 1915 To the Editor of the Planet. City.

The old hapathak methods of raising children are falling into disrepute, says a circular of the Federation of Mothers Clubs. Systematic study of past methods to discover why they gave unsatisfactory results statistical study of the results of now methods and comparative analysis have enabled experts in Child Welfare to give the modern mother much valuable information and guidance. Organized motherhood is everywhere seeking to co-operate with these experts and bring the fruits of their labors within the reach of every mother. One of the essentials for progress along these lines is the registration, with the Bureau of Vital Statistics, of the birth of every Virginia baby. The Federation of Mothers Clubs and Parent Teacher Associations of Richmond and Virginia, is promoting, in cooperation with the State Board of Health, the L. V. N. A., and the Richmond physician.

At the beginning of my annual address as President, to this the sixteenth meeting of the National Norgra Business League, let me emphasize in so far as mere human words can, the deep depth of gratitude, which all of us owe to our Secretary, Mr. Emmett J. Scott, for the continued success of this organization. In a large measure, it is the hard work, the loyalty, unselfishness, and resourcefulness of Mr. Scott which make and keep this league the power for good that it is. Nor should I overlook the steadfastness and helpful interest and generosity of all the members of the Executive Committee as well as the several offices. In this catalogue there should not be omitted the name of our active and devoted National Organizer, Mr. Charles H. Moore. The loyalty and activity of many of the Local Leagues is a matter of constant surprise and gratification. The difficult and practical work which the Boston Local League, together with the Cambridge League and citizens of Boston as a whole, to make the matter a success, is also cause for congratulations and deep gratitude. I wish now again, as in other years, to thank the Colored Press throughout the country for its more than liberal and constant support of the work of this League. We of the Norgra race and of the White race little know of the self-sacrifice and extravagant work that is constantly being done by the Norgra Press. This National Negro Business League was organized in the city of Boston fifteen years ago with a more beautiful of men. The League during the fifteen years of its life has grown in power in influence and in use unless, until either through its officers or individual members, it reaches so thoroughly every part of the country in which there are any considerable number of colored people. After fifteen years of telegraph, useful service and strength of letter that we should return to Boston, the place which we use birth. From the first, this National Negro Business League has been strong enough for which it was formed. It was not founded to take the share of other organizations, nor was this league as a league ever intended to promote business as an organization or to become a close, bound community with friends and peers. We have such organization and they are doing their work well but the central purpose of this National Negro Business League has been from the first, to foster, to spread and to create industrial business and commercial enterprise among our people in every part of the country. How well we have succeeded, I shall let the facts tell the story. The founders and promoters of the League have fully recognize the fact that it cannot meet all the needs of the race, nor satisfy all its ambition. Witfully and frankly recognize the fact that there is need for the particular and distinct work to be done by the religious, the educational, the political the literary, the secret, and the fraternal bodies, as well as those that deal with the civil rights of our people. All or these have their place and with none of them would we seek to interfere; but the history of civilization, throughout the world, shows that without economic and commercial success there can be no lastling or commanding success in other fields of endeavor. This League then has for one of its objects, not the tearing down or weakening of other organizations, but rather to give -them strength and stability. Since our last annual meeting, there have been happenings that are of peculiar interest to our race. Among these has been the observance of a National Health Week which was promoted very largely by this Business League, acting in co-operation with the Virginia Organization Society. Health Week was perhaps more generally observed by all classes of our people in the South and in the North than has ever been true of any similar movement in the history of the race. Until ten years ago, the death rate among our people was alarming, but the importance of good health and long life has been called to the attention of the race in so many ways during the last ten years that the death rate has already been reduced by four per cent. in certain parts of the country. It is the wish of many that the Health Week be observed again this year. Since our last meeting the United States Supreme Court has rendered a decision in the Oklahoma case (Continued on fourth name). PRICE, FIVE CENT INSTALLS FINE EXHIBIT. National Baptist Publishing House Located at Nashville, Tennessee. Makes Exceptional Display at Lincoln Jubilee Celebration. Chicago, Ill., Aug. 23. (Reciprocal News Service.)—Thousands of people in attendance at the Lincoln Jubilee Celebration have viewed the spies did exhibit being made by the National Baptist Publishing Board, of Nashville, Town. The exhibit was installed last week, and is in charge of an experienced display man who is employed constantly at the Publishing House. In addition to the exhibit at the Coliseum, where the Jubilee Celebration is in progress, this institution has an additional exhibit at the Eighth Regiment Armory, when their convention will open its thirty-fifth annual session Wednesday morning, Sept. 8. One of the most attractive features of the exhibit is the uniqueness, with which it is arranged and installed. It shows a graduation in efficiency in the art preservative having on display their productions in mechanism and literary art from the smallest postal card to a man-moth leather or morocco book the entire exhibit being the work of members of the race employed in the institutten Spectators have already long and admirably at the skill and mechanical perfection displayed in these articles. Their admirability increases when they are told by the instructor that every one of the vast number of people employed at the Nashville institution, came to work without experience at any firm or institution in their particular field of work. The exhibit shows samples of twenty-three different song books in which, in most cases, the music was written, composed, arranged, printed, bound and sent out by members of the race. Every line of Sunday School requisites and church beloved for their demonstration is also shown. In connection with this there is a Church Supply Exhibit, showing that members of the race have actually been taught the art of cabinet making. In their Church Supply Department anything can be made of wood from a collection plate to the most expensive churches, pews, pulpits and pulpit furniture. The arch-terting, the cut of the furniture and the finish of the same have attracted no little attention. There is also a complete display of Neo-Dolls, ranging in size from the tinkletest 12 inch doll, which is well dressed, to one measuring about 7 feet in height. Free literature is given those who step to view the display. It has already been demonstrated as the most unique exhibit at the Celebration, where it is learned that it will remain until the Exposition closes. The governor of Michigan in view of this exhibit, pronounced it the best arranged and most complete he had seen. The Chicago Daily American paid special attention to it through its no-colums. Mr William H. Moore of Wilmington, N. C., was in the city this week. Miss Martha Ferris is spending two weeks visiting friends in Washington, D. C. Miss Ella Dandridge, of Washington, D. C., who has been visiting here ten days, has returned to the home. Rev William O. Hill, Yonkers, N. Y. and Mrs D. M. Huntrock, Greenboro, N. C., were the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Lindsey W.

Etricks, Va., Sept 15. Mrs. J. A. Moss, of 419 West Duval St., who has been confined to room since August 11th is some better. She is able to sit up some. We hope she will be out soon. Her niece, Mrs. P. L. Walker, who lives with her is very attentive to her and her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Katie F. Moss of 1513 Blair St. also does all she can for her. She could not be in any better hands. We thank many friends for their kindness. PUBLIC SCHOOLS TO OPEN. The Public Schools of the city will open, Tuesday, September. 14, 1915.

Hartley Manners A Comedy of Youth Founded by Mr. Manners on His Great Play of the Same Title-Illustrations From Photographs of the Play Copyright, 1913, by Dodd, Mead & Company SYNOPSIS Frank O'Connell young Irish patriot, is shot and wounded in British soldiers while making a home rule speech. He is aided by Angels Kingworth, an English society girl, who defends him. Angela takes O'Connell to her brothers home and helps to narcotom him. He recovers and he and the girl become fast friends. O'Connell then well is sent to put for disturbing the peace. He family writes Angela that he has been a possession. O'Connell and Amanda meet. She has exposed the Irish angle. Her bright, a member of parliament, is very dingy. The happy couple come to America to live. A daughter is sent to them. Angela's brother returns to the house in any way. Amanda dies. O'Connell names the daughter Margaret and calls her dog. O'Connell receives a most important letter from England, which perplexes him. O'Connell allows her to visit England at her uncle's request. Margaret Kingworth's heart had finally softened toward his dead wife's little girl. Peg goes to the house of the Chichester family in England at the direction of Mr Hawker. Kingworth attends, an Kingworth suddenly dies. She first meets Ethel Chichester and Brent, a married man in love with Ethel. She interrupts them by accident in a secret meeting. Ethel is corrupted at Peg and boughtly distresses her from the drawing room, sending her to the servant quarters. The Chichesters have lost their money in a bank failure. Hawkes arrives and reads the Kingsmorth will. It leaves most of the fortune to Peg and offers liberal pay to any one who will undertake her education and social training. Mrs. Chichester finally agrees to bring up Peg in return for the money promised, although she openly decries the shabby young girl. Peg is heartbroken at the cold reception given her by the Chichester family. She impersonates, however, by the luxury of her surroundings. Peg meets Jerry Alate, who takes a likely interest in her. She finds in him a real friend. She tells him about her father. He a farmer, he says. CHAPTER XXI Complications. BENT turned away up again to the window seat crying, "With this unmarried." Little said quietly, "It!? Your wife will not agree, oh!" He came back to her. "No! I please you far above her, for she all partly supposes of caring to me when I waite you seen waven of unpleasant." "I am!" she said frankly. "I from what you told me of your wife she must be so." "I don't trust me the ttl." she placed distantly. "What shall I do?" asked Lethal with wide open eyes. "What's good? I've been waiting for you so long. As Brett moved up to the window dows. Aart came to tell me through the door." "Hello, Brett." he said quietly. "Have you?" "Very well, thanks you. Aart is the said, so we would like to see him." "Good. The door was well closed." "Any?" "And the sweet would." "Yes." "You must bring it." The matter would have to come them, and we would all love them, don't you, dear? We waited out waiting for Lethal to reply the long riled on. And, talking of love, you seen Mirared anywhere." Ethid mobbed in the direction of the garden "out there." "Spiked! The master wants her. We've got to have a family meeting about her and at once." Aphrodite burned out through the windows into the garden. Brent burned over to Ethid. "I'm at the house." I'll be there un- til morning. Send me a message, will you? I'll wait up all night for one. He paused. "Will you?" "Perhaps," replied Ethel. "I'm sorry if anything I've said or done has hurt you." Mrs. Chichester greeted Brent four touously: "How do you do, Mr. Brent? You will excuse me!" She turned to the maid. "When did you see my niece last?" "Not this hour, madam." "Tell Jarvis to search the gardens, the stables, to look up and down the road." "Goodbye, Mrs. Chichester—and—Khel, said Brent. He looked, meaningly and significantly at Khel as he stood in the doorway. The next moment be was gone. Alaric hurried in through the windows from the garden. "This cannot go on!" cried Mrs. Chichester. "I should think not, indeed—running about all over the place." Mrs. Chichester held up an open telegram. "Mr. Hawkes telegraphs he will call tomorrow for his first report. What can I tell him? "What will you?" asked Alaric. "Am I to tell him that every time I've engaged for her resigns? Not one stays more than a week. Can I tell him that?" "You could matter, dear, but would it be wise?" A moment later Deg entered with Michael cradled in her arms. She had "Let" us be fond with each other Ethel." and Peg. "Let us be honest with each other, Ethel" and Peg M T F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Mr. Chandler said, "I will be here for the key of the door." "What is it? It is a door." "I say what it is." "What is what it is? It is a door." "It is that you don't want to open it. Is it that?" "I'll tell you what I think it is. The gun feels like it is pointing to reach some secret story. Explain why." "I think there's a small detail in my jut there, up every now and again the jumps out." "A devil!" erased Mrs. Chandler but riffled. "Yes, nunt!" said Dog denounced. "How dare you refuse to work to me?" Mrs. Chichester directed her with a gesture: "Tomorrow I am to give Mr. Hawley my first report on you." Peg laughed suddenly and then checked herself quietly. "And why did you do that?" asked her nunt severely. "I had a picture of what you're to tell hint." "Why do you constantly disobey me?" pursued the old lady. "Oh, I say, you know: That's good: Hair! And Alaric laughed heartily.peg sooted in. and slaughed heartily with him. Alaric immediately stopped. Ethel took absolutely no notice of any one. Peg sat down beside her nunt and explained to her: "Whenever I did anything willful or道德ly as a child me father always said it was the original aim in the air that I wasn't to be punished for it because I couldn't help THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. "Then he used to punish himself for my fault. Ap when I saw it hurt him I wasn't to do it again—for awhile at least. I think that was a grand way to bring up a daughter. I've been wonderin' since I've been here if an angust could bring a move up the same way." And she looked quizzically at Mrs. Chichester. Jarvis came in with letter on a silver. "Well?" asked the old lady. "For Miss Chichester, madam." And he handed Ethel the letter. "By hand, miss." Ethel took the letter quite unconsciously and opened it. "Who is it from?" asked Mrs. Chichester. "Mr. Brent," replied Ethel indifferently. "Treat?" cried Alaric. "What on earth does he write to you for?" "He wants me to do something for him." And she toro the better up into the smallest pieces and placed them in a receptacle on the desk. "Come, Alaric." And Mrs. Chichester left the room after admitting Peg that an hour would be sufficient to sit up. "Let us be honest with each other, Ethel," said Peg when the two girls were left alone. Peg went right over to her and looked at her compassionately. "What do you mean?" said Ethel, with a sudden continuation of her breath. "You like Mr. Brent, don't ye?" So the moment I had voice. The little spy had been watching her. Well, she would fight this common little trifle not only to the latter end. All the anger in her nature seemed uppermost as Ethel answered Peg, but she kept her voice under control. "Certainly I like Mr. Brent. He was a very old friend of the family?" "He's got a wife?" "He has?" "An a baby?" "Yes, and a baby." Ethel was not going to bother herself. She would just wait to see what comes this structure was going to take with her. They were now settled together. Ellis holding little white pearls at which Dog pointed contemptiously. Dog went on. "Of course I've never seen the wife or the little because he never seems to have the pearls that him when he calls here. But I often heard Alarm ask either of them. "Well, I told Ellis coldly. "To tell for each husband with little to lose other women's hands. And Dog looked quietly at her mouth. "It be good an outburst and said quirkily. "It be very old and a very respectful old man. "The dog shouted at her old. I'm not so sure that the request. Why does he not hear me? He is not a head as well. "It be told myself much longer. It be much ungrateful. And Dog said with an uttered voice. "You don't want to hear." "We don't want to hear the dog persisted. Dog said with an uttered voice all the time. "Let dog shout at boy. You don't want to hear." Khalil answered this time, excitedly and indignantly, giving full and frequent to her just anger: "Be good enough never to speak to me again as long as you're in the house. If I had my way you'd leave it this moment. As it is—as it is". Her voice rose almost to a scream. Her rage was unbridled. What more she might have said was checked by the door opening and Jarvis showing in Jerry. Jerry walked cheerfully and saddlingly into the room and was amazed to find the two young ladies glaring at each other and apparently in the midst of a conflict. All power of speech left him as he stood looking in amazement at the combatants. CHAPTER XXII. at the Assembly room," said Jerry. Peg learned joyfully. It was just what she wanted to do. Ethel viewed the suggestion differently. "I impossible," glacated Jerry. "I'm sorry," and Ethel went to the door. "So am I?" replied Jerry regretfully. "I would have given you longer notice only it was made up on the spur of the moment. Don't you think you could?" "I don't care for dancing. Holden my head sober." "What a pity!" enclosed the disappoled young man. Then he said eagerly, "Do you suppose your mother would allow Miss Margaret to go?" "I'll ask her," and Ethel left the room. Peg ran across, stopped the door from closing and called after Ethel: "I didn't mean to hurt ye—lidade I didn't. I wanted to talk to ye—that was all—ye made me angry." Ethel disappeared without even turning her head. Peg came into the room runfully and sat down on the sofa. She was thoroughly unhappy. Jerry looked at her a moment, walked over to her and asked her, "What's the matter?" "One of us girls has been brought up all wrong.

"What a shame!" "Walt until you hear what the aunt says when ye ask about the dance!" "Don't you think she'll let you go?" "No, I do not." She looked at him quizzically for a moment. Then she burst out laughing. "Mister Jerry, will ye take me all the same if ye aunt doesn't consent?" "Why, Peg—beige astonishedly." "But I haven't get an event, dress. Does it matter?" "Will this one do?" "My dear Peg—" "Perhaps they'll rub out. It's the prettiest one we must gave me, as I put it on tonight, because I thought you—that is, some one might come here tonight. At least I hoped be wounded, an' you've come!" Suddenly she broke out passionately. "Oh, ye must take me; we must! I haven't had a bit of pleasure since I've been here. It will be wonderful! Hesitates, I would not rest all night with you dancin' over there on me a prisoner over here." "Now, Peg—I be tried to begin." "It's no use, I tell ye. We've got to take me. Are you a slained of me because I'm innocent? Are ye?" "Not a bit," replied Jerry heartily. "I was just the same of your age. I used to scam at school and shirk at college until I found myself so far behind follows. I despair that I was ashamed. Then I went after them tooth and nail with I caught them up and pressed them." "Did you?" cried Peg eagerly. "I will too!" she said. "Will you?" she nodded vigorously. "I will include it," I from now on I will do everything I yet must be born ever, they behance if it kills me." "I wish you would be so sad seriously "Mr. whom I press everybody else can know more to than any one ever knew "will be very proud of the? "Yes, Dad. Please more than I am now" "Are you?" "Yeah, to wash your wrist. We are frightened not to wee?" "I'm sorry." "Sure you were all right." She looked at them, smirked shyly and pressed her elbow. He was watching her closely. "What are you looking at?" he asked. "Do you know what Tom Moore wrote about this ship?" "No, he says." But the pain and played so softly the smile to meet his eyes. Jerry sat up, surprised for the way he play. "All right, Tom Moore. Weather taught me. We won't be hurt.

She and I hadn't seen Jerry scolded us he replied, "I think they to was pretty" "Do you Well, watch them in melodious we won't mind the singing so much. And after all, you're only a farmer, don't ye?" "Hardly that?" And Jerry laughed again. "This is called 'A Temple to Friend ship,'" she explained. "An it's about a girl who built a shrine an' she thought she wanted to put. Friendship into it. She thought she wanted Friendship. After awhile she found out her mistake. Listen." And Peg sang, in a pure, tremulous little voice that vibrated with feeling, the following: "A temple to Friendship, said Laura en-changed. "I'll build in this garden-the thought is divine." Her temple was built, and she now only wanted An image of Friendship to place on the shrine. She flew to a sculptor, who set down before her. A Friendship, the fairest his art could invent.

Farewell, said the sculptor; 'you're not the first maiden Who came but for Friendship and took away-Love.'" Bee played the refrain softly after she had finished the song. Gradually the last note died away Jerry looked at her. in amazement "Where in the world did you learn that?" "He father taught it to me," replied ```markdown ``` "Don't say that," Jerry interrupted. Peg simply, "Tom Moore's one of my father's prayer books." Jerry repeated as though to himself, "Who came but for Friendship and took away Love!" "Isn't that beautiful?" And Peg face had a rapt expression as she looked up at Jerry. "Do you believe it?" he asked. "Didn't Tom Moore write it?" she answered. "Is there anything better than friendship between man and woman?" She nodded. "Include there is. Me father felt it for me mother or I wouldn't be here now. Me father loved me mother with all his strength and all his soul." "Could you ever feel it?" he asked, and there was an anxious look in his eyes as he waited for her to answer. She nodded. "Have you ever felt it?" he went on. "All me life," answered Peg in a whisper. "As a child, perhaps," remarked Jerry. "Some day it will come to you as a woman, and then the whole world will change for you." "I know," replied Peg softly. "I've felt it commn." "Since when," and once again sense was in his voice. "Over since two spikes" — Suddenly the plebe of breathlessly, and, throwing her arms above her head no thought in a spot she cried "Oh, I do want to improve myself. Now I wish I had been born a lady. I'd be more worthy of... "What? When?" asked Jerry urgently and waiting anxiously for her answer. Peg regulated control of herself, and cowering down on him to the phone stool, she went on parisily. "I want know what to now. I know what you mean to be by" at a disheveled vantage. I used to do please barkin. I've laughed at it. I never will again. I'm no one's cop. I'm just a little Irish nothin'" "Don't say that Jerry interrupted "Thank you for putting it to help me. My Mother Jerry. But would you mind very much if the little something! Had one more point before I killed it altogether? Wanted it!" "Why how do you mean?" "Take me to the theatre tonight even without me, the public permission will be! I'll tell them ye for it if ye will. And if the next wrong thing I'll tell them the first burial' all over at the theatre. My heart's burstin' for it. She shouldn't hammer a waltz refrain from a sound around the room, the house of the狄狄斯顿 document Mrs. Chichester came slowly down the stairs, putting in boor at the alf the bouncing floor. A Dog whirled past the bowel foot she caught sight of her ass. She stopped dead. "What does this mean?" asked Mrs Chichester anxiously Peg sank into a chair "I want you to do something that will make the child very happy. Will you allow her to go to a dance at the Assembly rooms tonight?" "Certainly not." replied Mrs. Chichester severely. "I could have told ye what she'd say, wurred for wurred" muttered Peg. "I beg your pardon," said Jerry, straightening up, hurt at the old lady's tone. "The invitation was also extended to your daughter, but she declined. I thought you might be pleased to give your place a little pleasure." "Go to a dance unchaperoned?" "My mother and sisters will be there." "A child of her age?" said Mrs. Chichester. "Child is it?" cried Peg vehemently. "Margaret!" and the old lady attempted to silence Peg with a gesture. "Place me go. I'll study me head off tomorrow if you'll only let me dance me feet off a bit tonight. Plaze let me." The old lady raised her hand com manding Peg to stop. "It was most kind of you to trouble to come over, Jerry, but it is quite out of the question." Peg sprang up. Jerry looked at her as if imploring her not to anger her aunt any fur ther. He shook Mrs. Chichester's hand and said: I'm sorry. Good night." He turned and saw Peg deliberately pointing to the pathway and indiciating that he was to meet her there. Peg, left alone, hurried over to the windows and looked out into the night. The moonlight was streaming full down the path through the trees. In a few moments Peg went tick the foot of the stairs and listened. Not hearing anything, she crept up stairs into her own little maid room, found a cloak and some slipp pers and a hat and just as quietly crept down again into the living room. She just had time to hide the cloak and hat and slippers on the ten monte window seat when the door opened and Ethel came into the room. She walked straight to the staircase without looking at Peg and began to mount the stairs. "Hello, Ethel!" called out Peg, all remembrance of the violent discus sion gone in the excitement of the present. "I'm studyin' for an hour. Are you still angry with me? Wont ye say 'Good night?' Well, then, I will. Good night Ethel and God bless you." Peg's little heart bent excitedly. The one thought that beat through her quick brain was: *Will Jerry come back for me (TO BE CONTINUED) PIE PLATE AND-SHADOW HATS Odd, Chic and Exceedingly Becoming Are These Midummer Creations As the days grow warmer new fashions are lain hiss, but those which do appear are no less attractive and sometimes show greater thought and originality than the festivities displayed in the fashion festival's at the beginning of the seasons. Old, she and accordingly becoming are the new pleate and shadow hats. The pleate hat has a reasonably large brim, about the edge of which is an unturned feil of plaited matlies, giving the appearance of a crinkly ple. The shadow hat is even more fascinating, for it veils at the eyes. At least it does so when the head is bent. This shadow hat is nothing more than a straight behemoth greater, the brims of various widths, according to choice about which is placed a flat fold of matlies, black or white. The fold is about two inches in width, and being placed with its center along the edge of the hat brim, an inch extension of the fold is then upon either side of the brim edge. This makes a sort of little transparent well about the hat above the edge of the brim and a smooth curtain like belt below the edge. The very smartest people are wearing these hats. ALL ON THE RUN. Military Dignity For Awhie Was Under a Severe Strain. A certain military officer was very dignified, and if there was one thing he detested more than another it was undignified hoste. One day just as he was about to hold a parade he perceived that he had forgotten his handkerchief, and he said to his orderly, "Go to my quarters, quick, and bring my handkerchief." The aptly touched his cap and started for the quarters, several hundred yards distant. After he had proceeded a short distance, remembering that there was no time to lose, he broke into a trunk. "See that sounded running as the enemy were after him! If there is anything I hate it is to see a soldier running instead of matching properly! Here my son!" he added to another soldier, "go after that, man and tell him to walk." The second soldier started after the first, and the first kept on running "GO AFTER THAT MAN." the second one saw that his only chance to deliver the message was to hurry, so he, too, broke into a run. The officer was violently incensed. "Here, sergeant, go after that man and tell him if he doesn't stop running I'll have him put in the guardroom!" The sergeant set out at a brisk walk, but as his predecessor had a good start he, too, began to run. "If all the three secondnels aren't running like rabbits" ejaculated the officer. "I'll show them." And, tucking his sword under his arm, he started in pursuit as fast as he could run; but, suddenly remembering his dignity, he came to a halt and walked back stiffly to the place where the parade was to be held. Affiction. Nothing so much increases one's re- ference for others, as a great narrow- to oneself. It teaches one the depths of human nature. In happiness we are shallow and deem others so.— Charles Burton. Not knowing a double-barreled shotgun was loaded, 11-year-old Antonio Battagliae, of Philadelphia, playfully pointed the weapon at his sister, Kate, 18 years old, and shot her, inflicting wounds from which she died of a few hours later. The accident happened while they were visiting relatives near Hammonton, N. J. The boy stood only five feet away from his sister when he pulled the trigger. The shot was discharged in the girl's abdomen. Not Likely to Affect the Concessions the Kaiser Will Grant to the United States. The German admiralty advanced the suggestion that the submarine watch may have torpedoed the steamer Arabic possibly had foundered or had been sunk by the British. A high official of the admiralty, in again declaring that absolutely no news on the sinking of the Arabic was as yet available, said: "Would it not be lamentable if the submarine should have been lost and we should never learn what happened? Soon after the Arabic sank I said we should in all probability have the details by the end of August, or early in September at the latest. Most of our boats which were on the west coast of England at the time have now returned, but none so far knows anything about the Arabic. "It probably will be possible within a very short time—I cannot say precisely how many days—to tell whether our apprehensions regarding the submarine are correct." The official would not say whether one or more of the submarines in question were still out, nor how long any one vessel had been away from its base, but stated suggestively: They seldom remain out longer than three weeks, and we usually set a report on any torpeding operations in from eight to fourteen days rarely later than a bortnight after the occurrence. There is no intimation that the absence of an official report from the submarine commander will change the attitude of the German government in its intention to meet the demands of the United States. It is understood that those concessions will apply principally to steamships on which Americans are passengers, and that the lives of Americans in the future will not be endangered by safe marine attacks. Whatever the diplomatic form of presentation may have been, Germany did, without reservation, assume all responsibility for the loss of American lives aboard the Lustmania. Her offer of repatriation was so unqualified that only a method of determining the amount of damage remains to be asserted. She requests the United States to suggest some means of assorting such damages. She does not disavow the destruction of the hissittana. This she feels is impossible for the reason that she has already officially honored the commander of the successful submarine. Moreover she vigorously maintains that the giant Camarader floated with munitions' was in reality a ship of war. She realized, however, that fact did not warrant the taking of American lives. U-BOAT GIVES UP DEAD Corpses Found Among Debris In Hull Raised at Honolulu. A number of bodies of the twenty two men who were down in the submarine 17 on March 25 at Honolulu, were found intact in the wreckage of the ship. Only one was removed. Two others were it such a poor state of preservation that it work of discovering them is being done slowly. None has been identified. The finding of the bodies was announced officially by Rear Admiral C. J. Housh. A hole was ordered out in the forward compartment of the submarine, which so far has been inaccessible. In addition to gaping holes in the stern of the submarine, a big hole has been torn in the forward part. The investigating board has not definitely ascertained whether the holes caused the loss of the vessel or whether they were torn during lifting operations. U. S. SHIPPING TAKES LEAP More American Vessels In Foreign Trade Than In Last 42 Years. The American flag floats over more ships in the foreign trade than at any time since 1863, and the United States is pressing close on France and Norway as a maritime nation. Figures made public by the department of commerce show a record increase in American shipping for the year ended June 30. On that date there were registered in the foreign trade 2768 ships, totalling 1,813,775 gross tons, an increase, of 363 ships and 737,622 tons for the year. Nearly all the increases are due to the new American registry law. Dynamite Train Blows Up. A train carried 7,000 pounds of dynamite ran off the track at Pinole, Ca. and blow up, killing Harold Bennett, engineer; Bert Talbot, fireman, and an unidentified laborer. Nothing remained of the train. Nearby powder plants were not damaged. Allied Airmen Wreck Aerodrome. A telegram received in Amsterdam from Maashode says allied aviators destroyed last Saturday a large building at Ghent, Belgium, used by the Germans for housing air craft. 77 British Shipping Local No. 3 Months. Lloyd's quarterly report for the period ending Aug. 12 gives the loss of British shipping from submarines and other bertie conflict and from mines as 69 steamships, with an aggregate gross damage of 169,712, and the boiling vessels. --- GRODNO DEFENCES FALL TO GERMANS TEUTONS STRIKE AT VILNA Berlin Reports Taking of Bialystok Forest and the Capture of 6300 Prisoners. Continuing their drive against the fortress of Grudo, the last stronghold held by the Russians on their second line of defense, the Gofinians have forced the czar's forces to surrender their outer positions near that fortress on the eastern border of the forest of Bialystok. The German siege guns are bombarding the forts. Serious resistance is not expected from the troops holding the Russian stronghold. They are expected to maintain a short action to stay as long as possible the German advances and then draw back to make connection with the Dima line, uncovering Vitna and leaving in German hands the greatest strategic base within the bounds of all Russia. Vilna, according to the plans now made, will become the base of operations for the Teutonic allied. It is topographically adapted to the most important uses and commands the routes both to Petrogrand and Moscow. A trilogy may be made in either direction from the great strategic base. The German official statement follows: "The battle for the possession of the bridgehead south of Friolrichstadt still continues. South of the Niemen our troops are advancing in the direction of the railway leading from Grodno to Vilna. They have taken 2000 prisoners." "On the eastern front of the Grodno fortress district Novyydov and Kusnica have been reached. The enemy, in the face of our attack, surrendered his positions on the eastern order of the forest of Bialystok. "The passage of the upper Narrow has been won step by step and the right wing of this army group is advancing against Georgia. "The parachute of the enemy has been continued to the Mississippi trifectary. We defeated the enemy near environs and Nicolet ones still in our hands." A newspaper dispatch from Petrograd says that the evacuation of Vilnius is being continued. Hundreds of people leaving the city Refreshers from the Koenio d'Itrit, who have been held Petrograd, told of their homes being reduced to smoking smoke by Russian soldiers. Feverish energy, the dispatch states, is being displayed in the manufacure of munitions. The question as to whether the Germans intend an advance on Portgard beginning with the seizure of Riga as a naval base, is being discussed, it is added. It is pointed out that the equipment of the German army in Courland indicates preparations for operations on an extensive scale. GEN. OROZCO KILLED Mexican Leader Shot as a Horse Thief in Texas. Faecal Orozo, famous as a revolutionary and Mexican leader, hero of a hundred battles in Mexico, died at the hands of a posse of Americans with the sting of "horse thief" upon him. Louis Holzman, United States customs inspector of El Paso, positively identified one of the five Mexicans killed in the mountains as Orozo. Holzman was sent to the scene of the killing by Customs Collector Z L. Cobb, upon receipt of a request to send some one who could identify Orozo. Holzman reached the scene of the last stand of the five Mexicans and positively declared one of the bodies to be that of the former Mexican chief, once dictator of all northern Mexico, and later one of the trusted Heutenants of General Victoriane Huerta. Mrs. Helen Patrick, twenty-eight years old, and her baby son, George were cut in two and instantly killed by a Baltimore & Ohio freight train at Cleveland.

Others in commuting chambers were hurt by flying coal and injured by stray runners of the burning gas. Three hundred men were at work in the mine when the explosion occurred. BRYAN NOT A CANDIDATE Declares He Haa No Plans For Holding Office In the Future. William Jennings Bryan issued a statement in Chicago, declaring that "the work which I have mapped out for my remaining years does not include the occupying of any political position." "If Roosevelt declares," he said, "in talking of the Republican situation, "to maintain an independent organization and is either a candidate himself or supports some other Progressive, the Republican party, will remain divided and there will be little chance for the success of either branch as long as it is divided." "If Mr. Roosevelt goes back to the Republican party he will carry with him those Progressive Republicans who left the party out of personal attachment to him, while the Democratic party can hope to gain the support of the Progressive who are really opposed to Republicanism as represented by the leadership of the regular Republican party. The Fatt branch of the Republican party has made no concessions to the Progressives. I have no political expertise whatever, and no plans looking to the holding of any office in the future." Mr. Bryan said, referring to his own program. DROWNS HERSELF AND BABY Husband's Financial Troubles Cause Woman to Commit Suicide. Mrs. Elizabeth Kudritzky, wife of Hans Kudritzky, proprietor of the St. Michaels Brick works, at St. Michaels, Md., drowned herself and her year-old baby, Hana, Jr. Mr. Kudritzky became involved financially about a month ago and sought employment in Baltimore.

SEPT. 11, 191 Saving money is best made difficult that spending money Good children can be treated in humble surrounds. Many people take mistakes and they are not being to admit it. When you spot the wrong man in a position whether the officer be faithful or political, you are sure to have trouble. It is also a hard time to find the earth earth. The war has been put forth in the name of intellectually illiterate but ultimately look in the enterprise but at the end look that way the importance. The world is the victim of consumerism and the islands of love, in moment people are being sacrificed in order to put money into the pockets of a few people. The pleasure route: both expensive and dangerous. Those people who are being chased by their creators, and who are unable to pay their house rent should have found it out by this time. Thousands of people believe in "short cause and they will leave the paths of right in order to save the distance. It is foolish, however, for they finally have a long way to go to reach the goal at which they were aiming. --- Reporters for the newspapers are shredded When they cannot secure information by direct means, they do so by indirect ones. They have a way now of stating a rumor and the government officials are forced to deny the truthfulness of the rumor It is alleged that Germany has made some concessions to the United States in the matter of submarine warfare. To our mind, Col. Theodore Roosevelt is largely responsible for changed conditions. His war speech at Plattsburg N. Y. was enough to arouse not only Germany, but all of the countries of Europe. Col. Roosevelt is regarded as an authority, and all of the warring nations believe that he reflects the sentiment of the American people, whether he does or not. However, President Wilson will get the credit for the improved condition between Germany and this country. When the distinguished President selected Counselor LANING as Secretary of State, he made the best move that has been observed since the advent of his administration. --- SCANDAIOUS CONDUCT. An excursion left Richmond recently under the auspices of one of the boards of one of our leading churches. It went to West Palm. Despite the fact that officers were required to accompany the ex-president, we table forged a terror ensued. Men with ballots of whiskey, recounted and presented a message of occasion blindness. Several were reported out and otherwise infiltrated. As for the committeemen, they were hiding and everybody else wanted to do the same thing. It was one of the most observable happenings that has taken place any railroad in this city. Sixty-six could be taken to punish people of this type. They disagree not only to railroad, but all colored people in the community, who are held responsible in this measure for their conduct. We are unable to understand why a determined officer was not able to stamp out this species of ruffian. It should not be tolerated. It is possible to any one to let them but not protect people. Our people can stop it and they should proceed to do it. FALLS OR IS THROWN FROM UPPER WINDOW J. L. Floyd Suffers Fractures at Base of Skull—Condition Is Critical. Proprietor of Lodging House Sail to Have Had Light With Nose Gnee Just Prior to Finding Floyd on Sidewalk. Historical Tommy Dispatched Sept 14, 1916. L. H. Flood implanted in the pre- cinct of the 10th Street Powder Work, at the will fall or was thrown into the thirty front window at the house at 1147 East Main Si- tle. The man fell to the ground in state of Pete's Irrita- ble. He was unconscious up to he was hear this morning, but sa- dened at Virginia a Hospital to whan he was seen by Amman Sarco. Dated that he had suffered the fracture at the base of his sane that his condition was critical in a cell in the First Colonel Edward W. Bottles, pro- fessor of the rooming house. Hunt was charged with asaulting Floyd in attempt to disable and kill Co- patant. That he betrayed the man from the window during a night which it attempted the two men had Bentley denies all knowledge of how Floyd happened to be found on the sidewalks. He admits fighting the man, but claims he left the room while Floyd was still there. That assertion is also made by Bentley's wife. She said last night that she was standing in the lightroom floor on the door and had rouse there to find her husband, who had been thrown across the bed. With the assistance of R. D. Rod Coff and E. N. Catter, who came to the house with Floyd, she succeeded in capturing the man and in getting her back and downstairs. She claims that she was starting to walk the house when the police detained and informed her that Floyd had been caught on the sidewalks. BENTLEY SAYS FLOYD JUMPED WHOLE DRINK On the information given by Red Cliff and Caffrey, Polhemus Tate-Sweet and Whitlow arrested Bentley and took him to the First Station a short time after the ambulance had taken Flound to the hospital. Bentley stated his version of the affair to Captain of Police, Sowell. The man expressed the opinion that Floyd jumped from the window under the influence of whiskey. However, evidence secured by detective Sergent Krengel, who went to the scene from headquarters, did not strengthen his claim. One of the first men to reach Floyd after he struck the sidewalk picked up a black and white checked cap which he thought it was the injured man's. It was discovered later, though that the cap belonged to the police and had worn by him during the attack. It flattered to earth a short time after Floyd struck leads to the belief that it fell from the head of some person who forced the man through the window. W. R. Trent and Samuel Kinney were near the front door of the rooming house and saw Floyd as he fell and struck the pavement. Trent said last night that the man struck on his back, as though knocked off his feet and fallen backward. Surgeons at Virginia Hospital stated that the nature of the fracture at the base of the skull was such that it might have been caused had the man fallen on his feet. Floyd, with Rodeliff and Carter, had come to Richmond from Boston well posteered afternoon to sound Sunday. They secured Floyd at Bentley's house and went on Broad Street. Shortly after Floyd they returned, as Floyd beached to retire, and all three went up to look at the zoom. Floyd had been drinking and was in a quarrel some mood, it is said. According to Carter and Roddell, Flory placed a chair behind his door and in doing so made considerable noise. This is said to have brought Bentley to the room and to have led to the fight between them. After Bentley left the room Carter and Roddell also left. They were unable so say whether Bentley had returned to the room, but they had proceeded but a short distance up Main Street to the disturbance in the room, the attention they attracted their attention. They did not know where Floyd's relatives were located. Flory died in Grace Hospital Tuesday night. Subscribe to the Richmond Planet It only costs $1.50 per year in ad THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND VIRGINIA. B. T. WASHINGTON B. T. WASHINGTON (Continued from 1st Page.) which is of far-reaching value and importance to our race. The main value of this decision, rendered by a Southern Supreme Court Justice and an ex-confederate soldier and ex-confederate conspirator, consults the fact that it makes the idea, once and for all, by the Supreme Court of the land that neither color nor race can debar this country from full citizenship. I regard to note that the number of lynchings during the first season has of the calendar year, has increased as compared with the same number a year ago. While the number of black people beaten by white men of white blood is larger. The increase in the number lynchings should not discourage but should make us renew our energies and double our determination to blot out the crime of lynchings from our civilization, whether the man be a white man or a black man. We must in bourbon a few weeks ago. We must have in this country, law administered by the court and not by the mob. Along with the outfit of such men there should be that other role of lynchmen. I to put the balancing in all the bodies I am pleading in the interest of the Norse or the white man, but in the interest of a more strong and perfect colligation. It is clear that it is ever so sure that in the space of one generation, so many evidences of real progress in the fundamental things of life can be seen. Perhaps the changes in Japan are the nearest akin to it. Since the League met in Boston five years ago, great changes have taken place among our people,PERTY putting and in the promotion of industrial and business enterprises, particularly in Japan, owed solely because of the work of the League, but this and similar organizations have had to do with bringing about the progress. Let me be more specific. We have not the figures covering all the Negro's wealth, but the Federal General Bureau has just released a document which gives the value of the Negro's farm property above $41.17 million. From 1909 to 1911 the Negro's farm property increased 125 per cent. In 1883 we had as a race for a small Ishmael enterprise of one land and another. At the present time, the Negro owns an operation about 13,000 concern, with many of them holding dollars. Within fifty years we have made enough progress in business to warrant the operation of over 20 banks. With all that I have said, we are still a poor race as compared with many others, but I have given these figures to indicate the direction in which we are traveling. During the last six years we have experienced as a race not a few business failures, including the closing of several banks. We must not let these failures discourage us. We must remember that it is with a race, as it is with an individual, that it is only through seeming failure, as well success, that we finally gain that experience, and could be necessary to permanent success. With all that I have said, we should remember that we have but serached the surface of industrial and business. Our future is before us, not behind us. We are a new race in a comparatively new country. Let any who may be inclined toward possession or discord consider with me for a few more months the opportunities that are before us. It is always of more value to consider our advantages rather than our disadvantages. In considering one's opportunities it is worth while not to overlook the size of our race. There are only fourteen nations in the world whose population exceeds the number of Negroes in the United States. Norway has a population of only 2,100,000. Denmark 2,700,000. Bulgaria 4,000,000. Chile 4,000,000. Canada 7,000,000. and Argentina 9,000,000. When we remember that we, in the United States alone are 10,000,000 Negroes, we can get some idea of the opportunities that are right about us. Let me more specific in pointin' the way to these opportunities. If you would ask where you are to be him, I would answer begin where you are. As a rule the gold mine which we seek in a far-off country is right at our door. Over a million of our people live in the northern and western states. In these states, at the present time, our people operate about 4,000 business enterprises, and what for 8,000 business enterprises or double the present number. In the southern states, where the great bulk of our people live, we have about 40,000 business concerns. There should be within the next few years 20,000 more business concerns. In all this, we should never forget that the ownership and cultivation of the soil constitute the foundation of great wealth and usefulness among our people. I have already indicated that we operate about 800,000 farms. Within the next decade let us try to double the number. To indicate a little more the direction in which we should seek to increase our farm truck farms operated by us, we ought to increase this number to 8,000. We ought never to forget that in the ownership and cultivation of the soil in a very large measure we must lay the foundation for one's success. A landless race is like a ship with out a rudder. Emphasizing again our opportunities, especially as connected with the soil, we now have for example 122 poultry raisers. The number should be increased to 1,500. We now have 200 dairymen. The number should be increased to 2,000. At present there are far too many of our people living in the city in a hand-to-mouth way, dependent on someone else for an unacorn job. Aside from what the soil offers there are other opportunities in business, for example we own and operate 75 dairymen. The number can be increased to 500. From 32 brickmakers the number can be increased to 2,000. From 566 cannies we can increase the number to 1,000. From 56 furniture interiors, the number can be increased to 387. Where we now have 9,000 dry goods stores, 18 department stores, 14 five and ten cent stores, 20 jewelry should have in the near future 15, 000. Where we now have 700 drug stores, we should have 3,000. Where we now have 700 real estate de- alers, we should have 3,000. Where we now have 1,000 millinery stores, we should have 5,000. Where we now have 150 plumbers, we should have 600. Where we have 400 tat- tles, we should have 500. Where we now have 25 architects we should have 400. We now have 2,000 con- tractors and builders, we should have 5,000. Where we now have 51 hanks we should have 500. Few people are aware of the fact that we now have in our race after only fifty years of freedom, 55 book stores, 700 junk dealers, 15 ware- houses and cold storage plants, 152 wholesale merchants, 200 laundries, 750 livery stables, 953 undertakers, graphers, opticians, hair goods, manufacturers, old rag dealers, 12 buyers and shippers of live stock. With our race as it has been and always will be with all races without economic and business foundation, it it hardly possible to give educational and religious growth or political freedom. We can learn some mighty sertious lessons from conditions in Liberia and Haiti. In Liberia and Haiti, literary education and politics have been embellished, but while doing this the people have failed to apply themselves to the development of the mines, and forests. The result is that, from an economic point of view those two republics have become dependent upon other nations and races. In both republics the control of finances is the hands of other nations, this being true, understanding the fact that the two countries have natural resources greater than other similar in size. In the United States there is no hope for us, except in an increasingly degree we teach our young people to apply their education to develop the natural resources and to promote human activities in the community where we live. More abstract, unused education means little for a race or individual. An ounce of application is worth a ton of abstract work. We afford to pay the price for interest in the price of the裸露 nights, the price of the rest when others rest, the price of planning today for tomorrow, this year for next year. If someone else endures the hardships, the thinking, and pay the salaries, someone else will traip the harvest and enjoy the reward. To account for what I have indicated, we must have a united race, men who are by enough and broad enough to fight, and everyone person willing to place upon them all willing to place upon them all ad that he hold for the benefit of the race and our country. Sometimes it is over suggested that some of us are over optimistic concerning the present conditions and future of our race. In part answer, it might be stated that one on the inside of a house looking out can often see more than the one on the outside looking in. No one enjoys riding in a Pullman car so much as the one who has ridden in a freight car. No matter how poor you are, how black you are, or how obscure your present work and position, I want each one to remember that there is a chance for him and the more difficulties he has to overcome, the greater will be his success. Everywhere we should be proud of the Negro race and loyal to the great human family or whatever color. Whenever we consider what is happening in Europe, where all the people are of one color, God then compares our conditions with prescriptions and beliefs for our race we ought to thank our Creator that conditions are so well with us and that we live beneath the stars and stripes. ANTITOXIN SOLD HIGH Exorbitant Prices Should Not Be Paid, Say State Board Richmond, Va., Sept. 1, 1915. Special! If diphtheria antitoxin is offered for sale at rates in excess of 50 cents the thousand units, parents are advised in a special circular of the State Board of Health, just issued, to order it direct from the manufacturer. Known the necessity of this great remedy in cases of diphtheria, the State Board of Health has for a number of years had an arrangement with one of the leading manufacturers whereby antitoxin is sold through the board at the lowest wholesale rates. This antitoxin is of guaranteed quality, is prepared under government supervision, and is available every way to that sold by other manufacturers at much higher prices. The State annually distributes several-billion units of this antitoxin, with a large saving to the parents of children suffering from diphtheria. In the main, it is stated by the board retail druggists' have lowered their rates to a reasonable figure and, in many cases, ask only a fair profit above the cost of the remedy. But complaints are sometimes made to the board that retail prices are double those of the State Board or even higher. To protect the public against these prices, the State has issued a number of district stations in the state where antitoxin is sold, at the regular State Board figures. But if antitoxin is not offered at those prices, it can always be had from the State Board of Health. "Diphtheria antitoxin is a remedy that must be bead by poor and rich alike, whenever a case of diphtheria appears in a family," says the board. There is no substitute for it and nothing that can take its place. To charge exorbitant prices for it, it should be made "careful" of it and to make anguished parents who are willing to pay any price to save their children from diphtheria. The State Board of Health is doing every thing in its power to see that antitoxin it to be bead by all who need it and urge those who cannot procure it at a reasonable figure to order it direct from the board. The State Board for 3,000 units, $1.29 for 000 units, $2.49 for 7,500 units and $3.10 for 10,000 units. No move should be made. SCHOOL ATTENDANCE COMPULSORY. Marvelous Growth of Richmond's Public School System in Past Ten Years Is Reported—Two Junior High Schools Nearing Completion. (Richmond Times Dispatch, Sept. 9, 1915.) With the opening of the Richmond public schools next week, a compulsory education statute will be in operation for the first time in the history of the city. Every child in Richmond, between the ages of eight and twelve years, of sound mind and body and unable to read or write, must attend some school for at least twelve weeks in the school year, at least six of which must be consecutive. This law is expected to swell the total enrollment in the city schools much beyond what it has ever been before. Richmond's school population, according to the census report, which has just been made to the number of students it had only 21.177 of which were enrolled in the schools last June, showing that 8,200 children of school age were not attending any school. Many of these children, under the new statute, will be forced to take advantage of the public schools for at least a portion of the session. With the operation of the compulsory education statute, the most important result of the city's work along educational lines, many new schools, built to take care of the rapidly growing school population, will be opened. A list of the new schools as follows: Athens High School, comprising ten class rooms and an auditorium, located at Twenty-fifth and N. Siggett, has been completed and will be put into operation, taking the place of the old Oakwood School, which will be abandoned and later, perhaps sold by the city. Buford Junior High School, located at Flood Avenue and Vine St., will be completed about the first next month, accommodating the first grades in high school work from the eastern district, with sixth and seventh grades of the elementary school, constituting the overflow from these schools. The new Rainbridge Junior High School, located on Coward Avenue, between Fifth and Rainbridge Streets, will be completed about October 19. The classes for this school being meanwhile accommodated in the regular buildings now in use on the southside. The new Rainbridge School, located at Twenty-fourth and Grace Streets, will be converted in to a junior high school for the eastern district, accommodating the first grades in high school work and the surplus of children from the sixth and seventh grades of the elementary schools in that district. The Stonewall Jackson School, which has hitherto been used as a regular district school, will be reclassified as the Richmond City Normal School and used as such. It will accommodate the usual primary classes. A New Glister Park School, located on Chamberlaine Avenue, is now in use of recreation, and attempts to the Fairmount School, the Franklin School, the Moore Colored School, and the Mary Colored School are being built. CHANGES IN NAMES OF LOCAL SCHOOLS Changes in the names of schools since last session are The new Fulton School to be erected on Fulton Hill, will be known as the Robert Fulton School. The Maury Colored School will be known as Dumbar School, in honor of the Negro poet, Paul Lawrence Dunbar. The Richmond Colored School will hereafter be called the Webster Davis School after D. Wesner Davis, the Negro author and teacher. The Richmond public schools have made wonderful progress in the last ten years. In 1906, there were only twenty schools in the city, twelve white and eight colored—now there are forty-three twenty-nine for the white children and fourteen for the colored. Disbursements in 1806 amounted to $202,853.42, while during the 1900s, the school was in need. At that time the school property was valued at $652,000, now it is worth $2,583.04.32. During those ten years Richmond has spent $5,023,874.60 on her public schools. DISCUSS TUBERCULOSIS. Tuberculosis Combustion Aks Physi digestion. Catawba Sanatorium, Va. Sept. 1, 1915. (Special.) In response to a request from the tuberculosis commission recently appointed by Governor Stuart, the Medical Society of Virginia has decided to devote one of the sessions at its coming annual convention in Richmond to a discussion of the various methods of handling tuberculosis cases. At its recent meeting here the commission devoted much time to compiling a report which the experience of the medical profession in the State and of leading authorities on tuberculosis in other states might be utilized in shaping a format and comprehensive policy for the treatment of tuberculosis in Virginia. It was happily decided to request the cooperation of the Medical Society of Virginia and to ask its president, Dr. Samuel Life, of Lynchburg, to set aside a special session for the commission. A committee from the commission has since waited on Dr. Lile and has been assured by him that the Medical Society will gladly assist the commission in its work and will prepare the best possible program for the session on tuberculosis. In the Registry's annual meeting this year the commission held Oct. 28-29 and will, it is thought, be very heavily attended. The names of the physicians who are to appear on the program to describe the various methods of handling, consumption have not yet been announced, but it it believed by officers of the Sanatorium that some of the foremost authorities in America will participate in the discussion. It is planned to have a separate speaker on each of the modern methods of handling the white plague—the dispensary, the visiting nurse, the local sanatorium and the state sanatorium. Secretary Walker Returns from New York Much Impressed With Work- ings of Society There—Gathers Informa- tion as to Operations. (Richmond Va. Times-Dispatch. Aug. 30, 1915.) Within a short time the Legal Aid Society—an organization which gives promise of rendering much service along legal lines to deserving people of the city unable to employ counsellors will begin its activities in Richmond. The society was organized by several men who have been for years interested in the uplift of mankind and in the development of various lines of philanthropic and charitable enterprises. The prime mover in the formation of the society was J. H. Tylor, of the First National Bank, who was elected the first president. The other officers are W. Reginald Walker, secretary; Wortley Dickie, treasurer and George Bryan, Goddes H. Winston, George B. White, Wyndham R. Meredith, Louis C. Williams, John P. Leary and Erikene C. Massie, members of the advisory committee. Fryer, the president, was the bar, volunteered their services as counsel for the society. They are C. W. Crowder, Jr., Edward B. Munford, J. Vaughan Gary, W. L. Taylor and Alfrest Taylor Pitt. HEADQUARTERS WILL BE MADE AT CITY HALL: The Administrative Board, for the request of Treasurer Dickie and Howard T. Colvin, representing or granted labor in the city, granted the society the use of the room in the City Hall soon to be vacated by the Municipal Employment Bureau. Headquarters will be permanently established and an officer will be present at stated hours to consult with those who wish desire to obtain legal advice and are unable to pay for it. The accumulation of a law library is contemplated 'as soon as the offices are formally opened. The work of the society will be managed by the five attorneys who have bledged their services, who will work under the supervision of well-known members of the Richmond bar. It is believed that this new venture in Richmond will be of no little benefit to those people who at times find themselves in need of the advice of a lawyer, but for which they find themselves unable to pay. MEMBERSHIP OPEN TO ALL ON PAYMENT OF SMALL FEE Membership in the society will be open to business and professional men and firms interested in its work upon the payment of a small fee. Several men have already indicated their willingness to make contributions toward the running expenses. While the society is no part of the machinery of the city government, and in the nature of its work could hardly be controlled and administered by the city, it has the approval of city officials. In the constitution is set forth its purpose of this society shall be to render legal aid, gratuitously, if necessary, to all who may appear worthy thereof, and who are unable to procure assistance elsewhere, and to promote measures for their protection." In the offices of the society some one will be on duty during office hours, which will probably be from 12 o'clock in the morning. The person seeking assistance will be given an opportunity to state the details of the matter needing attention, a card will be filled out with these facts, and after an investigation, if the applicant is found worthy of assistance, one of the attorneys of the society will represent the applicant. No cases have as yet been brought to the attention of the society for the reason that its offices have not been formally opened. Furniture has been secured, and it is expected that within the next few days the society will be ready for business. SECRETARY WALKER SEES HOW SOCIETY WORKS IN NEW YORK. Secretary Walker went, to New York in July, visited the headquarters of the Local Val Society of that city and inspected at various departments. Mr. Walker was in the main office of the society and saw clients enter and be interviewed by the clerks in charge of the offices. The New York society maintains all branches in New York and Brooklyn, and during the year 1911 handled 40,430 cases. It is interesting as well as surprising to note that such a large number of cases brought to the attention of the society, only where carried into the courts. One of the main ideas of the organization is that there are many difficulties in the life of the people of the great cities that seem serious and complicated, but with an intelligent person to assist at the right time settlements can be affected to the satisfaction of all parties concerned. Mr. Walker was received by the attorney and counsel of the New York society, Leonard McGee. The attorney, Richard Richmond, and he consented to do so at a later date—after the Richmond society has begun its work. Subscribe to the Richmond Plant.

When you visit one's front room you judge by the air whether the sunlight is a welcome visitor or not. When you give drop in to see a young lady you do your level best to discern her higher calling. When you see a, crowd of Negroes in town and instead of visiting a stall and eat, standing up in a corner hard at it, just put it down that they have about as much race pride as there is forwent heat in an iceberg. Many of our leading divines are preparing to visit the National Baptist Convention at Chicago, Ill. this week. We wish them a successful journey. I plan to leave here Saturday at 9:50 A. M. for Darlington, arriving there about 10:15, will be in the public square till 6:30 P. M. When we arrive at Darlington it brings in contact with the A. C. I. railroad porters. They greet me with a smile and say that I am courting. Yes, several times I have gone up that road prospecting and the boys spot me at a glance. Mr. Willie Hopkins and brother, Andrew Huggins are right up against it. Several times I tried to deceive the porters, that I was on business. But they always say, Tref, nothing doing. When I go that way Saturday, if the porter isn't careful I'll get off at the crossing and call to see her anyway. Mr. M. P. Parker, of Rocky Mount, N.C., through a city recently enroute for Binghamville, N.C. Miss Nonie Martin, of Timmonsville, S.C. is visiting her sister, Mrs. Inez Ivory. Mrs. M. E. Thomas, of Sellers, S.C. passed through the city recently enroute to Darlington to attend the Co. Normal at that place. Mrs Thomas is assistant teacher in graded school at Latta, S.C. Mrs. E. M.

We learn that there are quite a few persons in Monrovia, who claim personal acquaintance with Chief Sam and faith enunciate that faith enunciate coin to his keeping against the development and fruition of this scheme. We believe that Chief Sam is a person of indomitable courage and great persuasive powers a the apparent success of his plans after many vicissitudes would indicate but we have grave doubts or the wisdom of this movement. After quite two years of setbacks and opposition in business and official circles, to say nothing of private sources, Chief Sam succeeded in legally purchasing a fine steamer and paying some $60,000 in cash for same making the purchase from the Munson Steamship Company, of New York. He had the rare good news converting every change into gold, for upon the United States that after all, Chief Sam was no fake affair on Chief and that he really had secured the ownership of this vessel, the curiosity seakers were anxious to look Chief Sam over. Seeing this was so and being a who man of a kind, Chief Sam started on a tour with his ship from New York to Galveston, Texas. There were several ends to be served by this trip. First, wherever the ship would stop, Chief Sam knew that people would to have a look at him and his ship, so for their curiosity he made them pay fifty head. The gate receipts from this source must have been with the trouble and was perhaps considered just compensation for the annoyance to the chief; second, this was the best mode of securing converts to his cause; third, it afforded an opportunity to carry cargo as a "tramp" steamer, which we understand was done with a proft. After this event four touris secured his associates and passengers at Galveston and taken on board hunter and salt, and sundry goods and other points in the southern states, headed his ship for Africa amid joy and jubilation. His troubles then really began just when Sam thought the storm was over. Off Sierra Leone he was seized as a prize and carried to Sierra Leone his ship was detained for weeks while the government was carrying on an investigation related to its nature and object. It was understood that a charge of treason or some other crime was attributed to Chief Sam, for it was claimed that his wireless apparatus on board was being operated in connection with some German vessels, while his ship was flying the Union Jack. Be that as it may, the fact is this ship and expectant passengers were forced to patiently wait to the government, which finally allowed Sam to welch anchor for the Gold Coast, after allowing the ship of the wireless craft. This steamer passed down the coast some months ago, and it could so plainly seen from the harbor and lighthouse. Many were keenly disappointed because Chief Sam did not condescend to stop at Monrovia, which they expected he would do as we think they had a right and expectation, seeing that their money is in this ship. We have not heard what kind of a reception Chief Sam and his party received at their destination. It must have been a chilly one, since none of the papers from that place seem to have heralded us arrival in the manner such a significant and creditable achievement just moris. The news now tardily reaches us that Chief Sam is stranded that his empty ship is lying at anchor and that he cannot secure coal to get away; that even he would get away he would unable to secure cargo; and that of all, that about half of the deluded guests have died of displacement and disease; in other words, Chief Sam's venture appears on the surface as a failure. We are truly sorry for Chief Sam for many reasons the most important of which is the effect it will have on Negro co-operation in a business way in the future. If this scheme is a failure, which we sincerely hope is not, it will be eternally pointed out as an instance of the black man's inability to carry out big business enterprises. This will not be the truth, of course. We believe that difficulties and obstacles have been designedly thrown in Chief Sam's way, and it is to his lasting credit that he has accomplished as much as he has in the circumstances. The main features of his plans were perfectly sound from a business point of view; there is sufficient business to be done between West Africa and New York, or the United States rather, to make it profitable for two or three steamship lines with a handsome profit, and it is undoubtedly true that if Chief Sam's main object, or that he most generally advanced, had not the establishment of a colony of American Negroes on the Gold Coast, he would have been able to source enough cargo to keep his ship in complements. It is quite possible that Chief Sam is now suffering the penalty of his prize on account of the deception he practiced in first mansing his sly "Liberty." This would give the impulse to further infiltrate the organization of intelligence, and it is likely be that the mind of many of Chief Sam's followers will find Child Camot was coer- added part of Liberia, Liberia is generally known throughout the United States as a Negro republic in Africa. Although no conception of its situation, size or condition may be associated with this knowledge. Time upon time movements have been started in the United States having for their object the settlement of colored people in Liberia, and over "back to Africa" cry conters its attention upon this republic. The fact of naming this ship the "Liberia," therefore, may have very reasonably people to believe that Liberia was the first destination for the Liberian Consul General at Baltimore, Ernest Lyon, objected to the naming of this ship after the republic, soong that the act would be greatly misleading. A colony of American Negroes in the Gold Coast or anywhore also in British Africa, would be discountanced by the authorities. Their presence would be considered a potential disturbing element; they could be labelled "undesirable." We dovory vory much if the American Negro is assimilated in his new abode in the Gold Coast. He has certain ideas of freedom and independence, of equality of opportunity and certain other longings for civic and social attunements which would jar upon the harmony of his new environments. Unacquainted with the genius and policy of British Colonial institutions and government he would soon run counter against cherished principles and traditions which would react to his detriment. For example, he would be government or settling American Negroes in British African possessions would be unsatisfactory to both the British government and the Negroes. The only place in Africa where American Negroes would be welcomed is Liberia, and the only place where they would be satisfied: They would have to make no political or mental transformation in order to adjust themselves to the form of government or the mode of personal deportment. Chief Sam brought his steamer to Liberia he could easily have filled her holds with cargo and deposited his passengers to their own satisfaction, for we do not take it that the American Negroes merely desire to change from one form of government to another. But that they want in addition a change from restricted civil and political rights to one of equality. In Chief Sam can get his ship to Liberia, he can get cargo for the United States, and if he can get to New York he will find a cargo for Liberia awaiting shipment. If he has any Negroes to bring from the United States he had better bring them here. This is our advice; but Chief Sam may be with all his sense a hardheaded chief and won't take advice. --- (By Joseph H. Williams.) Prof. R. M. R.

All children under twelve years have been excluded from moving picture theaters and other places of public amusement. Members of the board of education said schools would not be closed unless state health inspectors considered it necessary. Failure of physicians to report the cases to the city department of health is given as a cause for the spread of the disease.

CZAR IN COMMAND OF RUSSIAN ARMY Elimination of Grand Duke Nicholas May Follow. --- Muncovite Center and Pursuing Germans Engaged in Big Conflict, Says Berlin. Emperor Nicholas has taken over the command of Rudolf armies. Whether this will result in the complete elimination of Grand Duke Nicholas is not yet known. Apparently the cray's action has been kept a close secret in Petrograt, because the first intimation of this action came in a personal dispatch from the Russian ruler to President Polen are. The message from the czar to the president follows: "In placing myself at the head of my vallant army, I have particular pleasure in addressing to you, monsieur president, most where wishes for the grandeur of France and the victory of its glorious army." Replying President Polen cared said: "I know that in times of command your majesty intends to pursue energetically until the final victory the war forced upon the allied nations." At the same time President Polen care expressed to the czar warmest regards in the name of France. Hold Germans South of Bloa Further evidence of the determination of the Russian war has told what little of Galician territory is still in their hands and, where or forced to retreat, to render the allies of the Austro-Germans as host in the Austrian war office statement issued in Vienna. The Germans apparently have not been able to follow up by further progress toward Italy, their capture last Thursday, of the important bridgehead of Friedland, in this particular region there, can be no question of the Teuton determination to dash ahead toward the great Russian Baltic seaport and to permit no considerations to fronte with their onward movement. It is, therefore, to be presumed that the Russians are putting up a strong and stubborn resistance, required to hold the port at all odds. Dispatches from Copenhagen tell of a new entrance of Riga, taking Russian ships before them. This is taken by some military observers to mean that the Germans are preparing for a John land and sea attack upon Riga, General von Bessler, called the "Battering Ram," in recognition of his capture of Antwerp and Novgorodskoye to direct the land bombardment. Great Battle In East Russia's retreating army has apparently been overtaken by the pursuing Germans and forced into battle. The German general staff reported that a great conflict is reigning at Wolkowsky, forty-five miles southeast of Grodno. The fighting is going on in the city of Wolkowsky, an important railway junction, and extends to a point twenty-five miles southwest of Stonim. It is through this region that the center of the Russian army had to retreat after its abandonment of the Grodno-Nreist-Litovsk front. "JOKE" CAUSES BOY'S DEATH Fatally Injured by Fellow-Employees of Steel Works. Coroner Gohan and Detective Herbert Bachman were called to St Luke's by the death of Joseph Wean, aged fifteen, from injuries received at the hands of fellow employees at the Saucon steel plant at Alentown, Pa. It is charged that several men came upon the boy while he was sleeping and as a "joke" tried to inflate him with an air hose having a pressure of 50 pounds. They knelt on his body while trying to make him imitate a human balloon and when they released him the youth was unable to rise. The doctors state that the air burst internal organs. The alleged jokers will in all probability be held for manslaughter.

But their good will is abused by the lack of liberal education to start with, and then, also, funds to do their business independently. Thus I and the same all over the world. Thrift and honesty are mostly mistaken for ignorance, and accordingly abused. Nostruses are less adapted to beg, of all the human family, and they are therefore the most abused. They always ask for something to do. to earn a living, unless some smart guy takes it upon himself to beg, like other races, for the whole of them. And in such a case they are simply used as a gulse to excite the sympathy of hospitable people, while the beggar fattens his own kidneys with the better part of the grains and makes himself the supreme, distainer and guague to the endeavors of life. race. Such men are not needed at the head of anything but a class of convalescents, or more common beginners.

For at this price the dutch man would keep his house and job clean anyway, and if the visitor felt hungry he could take a glass of good beer, and have a piece of bread with good cold roast of some meatmeats or a slice of cheese or sausage with butter and mustard in cremation, and a jolly good person to that with while it was going down. So this is generally the reason we lose our color and feel strange about the Jew. Not that he is not a good our stopmach when one speaks about really backwards. Yes, they are really backwards. Yes, they are rich, but we do not feel comfortable until we change the subject to the English Scottish. Swedes, or some such people, and some people have a similar idea about colored people when they generally live up in some dart towns, over some man's stable, and have a pig pot joint down some slosson basement. Therefore let us get out on the front where we light and air can vibrate all the people can see and come in to examine an unpacked stock even if it has not been packed, we have the right to sell all reasonable prices. And let us keep our pieces and as clean as some of us did the places of our old houses before we went in for ourselves and let the waitress have the red handkerchief at home and only laughed at the waitress when he tells a very good joke and has put his ball and a bow to leave. He may get the ball and sit out without a mirror at him. It does not matter that he is a well dressed white man. Always wear a shirt late until you have gotten your money and then show up that the room is in order of one of the pleasant places we live. in society the private part of its benefits brings to you the least in return for the services rendered. There is no class of people who so poorly rewarded are farming, and yet, without the farmer we are all helpless. If the same people who farm should take active parts in the equal distribution of the products of the farm and a duty sympathetic to people should take themselves in the preparation of the material in the different ways necessary to social use that the greatest suitable value possible be returned to its original producers. If the crude products should be duly connected with the highest dresses and last disposers. And this cannot be well done with limited education. When we think of the teacher, the actor, the super, the lawyer, the physician and many other classes of social servants, who produce, nothing concerely and the prices they get for their labor, comparatively to the farmer, it is time for the crude producer to get to thinker. And as the Nero is not among the crude producers, he is hardly in any other place. So I say that unless his wages are not raised and his living expenses reduced, he is badly claeted. And if he is not educated to the highest he will find soon that he is unable to compete with these conditions. The English government has acquired a hake of existing from the interest of her laws that instead of developing her colonial territories and giving work to her subjects and increasing for one famous manufacturing industry she levies on objects under her authority to work from other nationalities with their own countries in a great pool of development and the home government to constantly working new fields in which to make home under government positions. And so hour as any person can buy and bargain what they want at the exxon of another class of useful producers, the system that provides us to respect the producer at their feet. The Germans have taken the lead of all the world in useful devel- opments, and as such, are the most rabbitly growing people of the whi- ter race. The German believes in serv- ing the most immediate need, what ever that may be. The Germans are a nation of shrewd economists in everything practical. They look with care after every interest pertaining to their people. They believe in sound and practical education and great and quick results from everything they touch. And anywhere you find a German colony, there can be found a general progress among an even living, wide awake inhabitants people. They are not generally a rowdy people, yet they can fight when the time comes. And I have found with few exceptions that they are a very social kind of people until something arouses their suspicions. I speak of these things not to favor the Germans in their present struggle; but to call the attention of the colored people to an exemplary people from whom they can profit much by giving them a careful study. I most naturally feel inclined to love the English, regardless to the many faults which I have discovered in them. But as a scientific observer, I dare not resist the truth of any virtue, whatever. And it is this sort of information which the Negroes greatly need, since that it is not necessary to exclude ourselves from society and limit our mental developments in order to have progress. What we want is a greater knowledge of the world, and then an equal chance to supply them and reap an equal profit from the same. And the government which we live, we greatly need every possible right and privilege, with a higher education, so that we will not abuse these rights. Man, like all other animated creatures, has or will, demonstrate patience until death, when he is thoroughly convinced that all that is possible is being done for his comfort. But as the good horse will kick, and the good dog bites, while the pet cat will scratch, so will man when he is in pain and has lost confidence in his superintendents. So it is always wise to let every subject rest with the confidence that every possible thing is being done to give them ease and comfort. Now the Negro, as I have said elsewhere, in generally true to the colors which he files beyond any other people that I can think of at present. And because of his overgrownness he is the most abundant of all men by all men. Now, about "let the south blow," and "the south best under" (Contained on Seventh Page.) CALIF.

The South has greatly trained the Negroes in those parts to look up to the white man for everything. And the average southern Negro, in your country, does not dare even to think independently, and in this I refer to all classes and especially those of strict religion or education. Thus to my own knowledge, the average Negro thinks that a colored man has no right to go behind the word of a white man for greater proof. And when the South says, "let us alone" they mean that they mean to keep the Negroes in this state of subjection, and when certain of those Negroes say, "let us alone," they are in a similar state to that man whom Jesus met once, who was possessed of many devils, and on the approach of Christ, he cried out, let me alone, (Q son son of the living God, Jesus). And why was this? It was because the poor man had been tormented both day and night by these devils, and if it could free him altogether, it was better to not bestir the nest of devils in him, because he dreaded the torment, which he was sure would follow such an act. But Jesus is reported as saying to his tormentors, "Hold your peace and confe out of him." When this case of "River" George colored, charged with assaulting his wife, Annie George, was called it went over until September 18th, so that the police might have additional time in which to search for the woman. George disappeared three years ago after kicking his wife in the ribs and breaking, several of them, it is alleged. Though shot in the back by Patrolman Whitlow while the latter was trying to nab him, he succeeded in effecting his escape. When he hurried up here recently and was arrested, he bore a bullet scar in his back. The police had practically given up search for him, because his wife came to the Second Station several weeks after his disappearance, bearing a telegraph from another part of the state, saying that her husband had died of his wound. (Continued from Sixth Page) Thus, dear readers, when I have gotten your attention and your desire, for deliverance with the belief that it is not only necessary but possible, so that you will quit giving Satan your cloak, I shall say to him as did Jesus on that memorable occasion, 'Devil, hold your peace and come out of them.' As to you to give control over the people of darkness, but when a people accept the light they shall be free. So hold your peace and come out of this people. Now you have the greater part of my secret in this continuous writing. God has promised to make you his chosen people an once you were. You shall spread your arm to all four corners of the world and rule unto righteousness and glory of the almighty God. Believe this with all your hearts and salvation will put in its appearance at once. But you must remember that I do not say that you shall rule in envy and strife, living and stealing, killing, etc, but in equity, justice, mercy and truth, clothed in the power and protection of the almighty God. There not my words but those of that same God, or whom the whithe man preaches. Thus I bid you in his name to stand firm in the right, even you swept away, for God is able to save even after death. Keep this with you ever, and fear not. I know that the way looks dark right through here, but you can see a little better now, than when I first wrote to you, and out of this very darkness shall spring the great light, which shall grow so bright as the day. My God is able to lead us through fire and not one is burned. He can sink every ship and silence every gun. Likewise put every soldier to flight. He can give wisdom to the fool and eyes to the blind. I have tried Him in the face of death. I have tested at the mouth of the grave and He proved to my great satisfaction that he is omnipotent and will save those who will stand for the right and trust him. Therefore, good friends, quit devoting one the other, quit practicing chanerae and quit doing all other cowardly and harmful things. If you cannot get along by doing right, just call upon God in truth to save you, and he will confound a nation of wicked workers for just one little child who aspires to his righteousness. So continue to pray and try to do right. Not to the pleasure of man, but of God; and go right along. Quit expecting something for nothing, but always try to render good service for good pay and do not wait too long for any man until you have done all that is in your power. And remember me as one who shall ever stand for equity and absolute social equality to all under similar conditions and favors to none while I remain. Respectfully yours I. S. MOORE. Bahla, Brazil. P. S. I have often wondered why some colored men would not get together and form a large company of general constructors and spread their advertisements world-wide. I do not know of any race, so peculiarly adapted to such a life as the average colored man, and I have watched a good many people work. The great trouble with this race is, there is not enough honesty among them for one thing, where big money is concerned, and not enough sound judgment of a business nature among the educated classes; and if the children were given broader hints on co-operative work and the handling of large funds, or being under great responsibilities, it would do a world of good. You see their education is not generally broad enough to teach them that to steal a few hundreds of thousands of dollars often prevents one from making millions, and that a thief or embezzler seldom if ever, gets the benefit of fifty per cent of what he takes, even when he might call himself very lucky; and in any other one, the consequence is much worse. Then why not give the children ideas of things greater than what their fathers have done? Why should the Negro be compelled to go backwards when all the world is in the forward margin, just because there are some illogical, who wish to have the game of being the greatest individual living? ple. I have no children, but I am very determined that the followi- generation of Negroes shall not be held in ignorance to please their old tenth century people. It may be that my last chance of master- achievements along the line of fin- ance has been robbed from me, but I will give the rest of my life to the clearing of the pathway for other young people. We want more men of courage, in the right and a per- fect detest against the wrong. We are not a race of women and children in spite of some of our womanish men in front of us. The world must know that some of us are real men, like other people, with beard on their faces and dress themselves in trous- ers. Some of us would rather die with starvation or what not, rather than be considered as a lot of beggars. And I would much rather know that one is a crap shooter, rather than a boggar, even if he be an invalid. And if the truth were known, many become crap shooters to keep from begging. So let us have men who will take the lead in providing work for the idle. I have an idea what brought this crap shooting argument about. It is another bit of Booker Traitor Washington tons checaney, originated in 1857, turn the north against one I. B. Allen who was a black man elected to the governors council in Boston, Mass. Mr. Allen may have had faults like Booker Washington proved to have in New York, but it can be safely said that at that time he was a beacon of one of the most popular colored churches in the city of Boston; and that is not all the good which could be safely said about him. But he had the great misfortune of being born black and nothing he could do would outweigh that with a certain click of those who wait at the blows of Mr. Washington. Therefore I am perfectly satisfied when the life- whites say that all Negroes look alike to them. As I have known for many years that the mulattoes were worse hated than the blacks, but it seems that this has not yet dawned upon the mind of the great chief of the Tuskegee Institute, and this is certainly favorable to social equality to all under similar conditions. Then let those people who wish to get up, learn to help others to the same level. Blocked, designs are very prominent in the new volle handkerchiefs. These are separate sections of the material hemmed into the corner of a handkerchief. Not only are women's handkerchiefs made of volle. It is used also for men's handkerchiefs, and the colored borders on them are just as game and attractive as those of the smaller handkerchiefs. Of course handkerchiefs of crops de chine and china alike are still enjoying great popularity. It has certainly been an uneven fight but I hope that Mr. Trotter will get the reward of one of the greatest modern heroes, which he certainly is.

Judge Crump entered an order in the Law and Equity Court, Sept. 4, 1915 dissolving the injunction issued some weeks ago to restrain Miss Lula Willis, living at 511 North Thirteenth Street, from moving into the house next door. 511—the neighborhood and the segregation ordinance having been invoked to prevent her from moving. Attorney Joseph Sadler, representing Mrs. Mary Sullivan, of 515 North Thirteenth Street, who objects to the proposed move of Miss Lula Willis indicated that she would appeal the case to the Virginia Supreme Court. In rendering his decision the Judge made it plain that he did not intend his ruling to be taken as hearing on the constitutionality of the segregation ordinance. He held that a court of equity should not assume jurisdiction in the case in question for two reasons: First, because the construction of the ordinance as to the right of a person to occupy a residential building owned by that person before the passage of the ordinance (1911) it still a matter of doubt. It had been shown that Miss Lola Willis acquired title to 543 North Thirtieth Street more than thirty years ago. Second, because before the passage of the segregation ordinance no civil liability or damages could exist, and because, under the Constitution of the United States, under which white and colored people have equal rights no such liability could ever exist. Under the provisions of the Federal Constitution, the judge pointed out, no property owner could be considered as damaged because a Negro lives next door. Their bodies were totally charred Mrs. Walter O. Hoehne, a relative, and her two children, aged, as did Warren Pershing, 6 years old, and three servants. The four children are Helen, 8 years old, 7 years old, and Mary Margaret, 4 years old. Mrs. Pershing was a daughter of Senator Francis E. Warren of Wyoming. Her husband, commanding the Eighty- Brigade, United State infantry, is at El Paso Tex. In shares of the border troops. Mrs. Boswell was the first of those in the house to discover the fire. She was atroced by the smoke. She awakened her children and called to Mrs. Pershing. Then she opened the door from her room to the hall. A gust of smoke drew her back and she saw the flames in the hallway. She took her children to the stairway but found it cut off. Fire and re- treated through her room to the roof of the front porch. The noise of the flare by this time had aroused Lieut. Const. Engeno Batachel, Twenty-first infantry; Private C. J. Hazlitt and a other soldier, who broke in doors of the house, but were forced back by the amnes. Then Mrs. Bowwell, from the porch roof, threw her two children, Philip and James, 3 and 6 years old, to the men below, still calling to Mrs. Porshing and jumped herself. Her maid previously had jumped and been caught. Mrs. Bowwell fell in a flower bed, injuring her back. She was taken to the Presidio Hospital. Warren Porshing was found unconscious on the floor of his room by Johnson, the Porshings' aged negro servant, who led a rescue party into the house. He was revived at the Presidio Hospital. In the corner of the house most burned the sewers found Mrs. Porshing dead of the floor with her arms around one of the children who was A court of equity, the judge held ought not, therefore, to put a construction on the segregation ordinance which might bring the ordinance into conflict with the Constitution of the United States. Attorney Alfred E. Cohen represented Miss Lula Willis. He was much pleased with the decision. The case is of very great importance. CHILD'S DAINTY FROCK.

The newest thing in handkerchiefs—and there are new things in these accessories as well as in any other are those of vole. Of course the finest of vole is used for the purpose, so that it will not be disagreeable to use. One style of handkerchief is of solid pale pink vole and is bound with a narrow white hem. Blue, lavender and green voles are used in the same way. A number of the handkerchiefs have a very wide border of white around a solid portion of color. A very unusual decoration of one vole handkerchief is a figure of a woman dressed in street costume and leading a dog. The latter is embroidered in black, while the figure of the woman is embroidered in a combination of gray colors. Some of the voile handkerchiefs are ornamented solely with a fancy hem-stitched border. Such a treatment of handkerchiefs adds great value to their, so that the price of one handkerchief is $1 or more. Do You Want an Umbrella? Well, here it is. The Hull Bros.

New York City, September 3, 1911. Your correspondent had the pleasure last week of meeting Alfred M. Simpson, of St. Louis, Mo., one of the most prominent young men of that city. Mr. Simpson arrived in this city on a motor tour when he brought his employer, Mrs. M. M. Holiday, who is one of the wealthiest women of the west, as well as prominent in the social upbringing of Mr. Simpson. In the employ of Mrs. Holiday for two years and speaks of her as being one of the most considerate employers he has ever worked for. Mrs. Holiday is a noted figure not only in the social upbringing of the city, but is prominent in financial circles, being president of one of the leading banks of that city. Mr. Simpson when seen by your correspondent last week expressed himself as being pleased the trip to this city with her, and brought them through several cities, among them being Indianapolis, Cleveland, Springfield, Ill., Oswego, N. Y. and the Catskill Mountains, where Mrs. Holiday spent a brief time. One week was spent in this city and during that, Mr. Simpson met many friends and saw many of the sights or the Metropolis. He visited the various points of interest around the Metropolis and made a study of the methods in vogue in the city of the substantial young men of the race, and has had a large experience. In the city of St. Louis where he resides, he is one of the most active young men in the city upfight of the city and is prominent in all movements having for their aim the elevation of the race. For some time he was the assistant secretary of the Y. M. C. A. G. St. Louis and rendered fine service in that capacity. While there that capacity was occupied in work and saw a wide opportunity for the development of young manhood in that having graduated from Walden University in Nashville, Town, and also studied at Fisk University. Mr. Simpson is an expert chauffeur and is well known in that field in that city. He is a member of the St. Paul A. M. E. Church in St. Louis and is active in every phase of the church. Your correspondent he regards as a fine specimen of young manhood. Your correspondent congratulates Mrs. Holiday for having such a splendid young man in her employ. From time to time your correspondent will call attention to young men who are making good in specific lines of work. RISE OF A YOUNG WEST INDIAN Twelve years ago a young West Indian by the name of Joseph Tull came to this country a total stranger to seek his fortune. He was made of the proper stuff and set about to find work at whatever his hands came across. He found work in the hotels, in the apartment houses, and other fields, during which time he was developing rugged experience which furnished a background for his character. Four years ago he opened an employment office at 2297 7th Avenue, which has since become the leading employment exchange in this section of the country. Mr. Tull's office is located in the heart of the Negro population of this city, where pal of the Swayne Public School, in Montgomery, Alabama, which is the largest public school in the city of Montgomery, was a visitor to this city last week. Prof. Lawrence was passing through from Boston, where he attended the annual session of the National Negro Business League. Prof. Lawrence has been principal of the Swayne school for fourteen years and is one of the most conspicuous figures in the educational profile of the Negro in Alabama. His school is modern in every respect and has an enrollment of 500 pupils and 13 teachers. NEGROLYMER RECORDS According to the report of the Board of Health issued June 4, 1915, there were 206 deaths in the city during the month of August. Of this number there were 108 white and ninety-seven colored. The number of deaths, according to the health officials, was small for a city of the size put by Greater Richmond.

There were B eleven white and eight colored Prof. Lawrence has given most of his life to educational work and in this direction he is wielding a wide influence. He is a grauduate of Taladega College and was one of the first three members to constitutio the first class to graduate from the college department. He is prominent in all movements for the uplift of the race and was recently elected president of the Alabama State Teachers Association which is one of the most potent educational movements in the state. During his brief stay in this city, Prof Lawrence and your correspondent visited many places of interest including Elsis Island where the immigrants coming to this country land. DR. WASHINGTON HERE. Dr. Bookor T. Washington, one of the most striking personalities in America, and doubtless the most striking figure in the educational life of America, spent a few days in this city last week, where the educator was taking a brief let up from the many exacting duties which he is called upon to meet in his busy life. The educator was seen at his New York office last week and told your correspondent that he was refusing to talk business at this time as he was on a brief vacation and wanted a let up from the strenuous duties he is called upon to meet. Your correspondent called the educator's attention to some matters he promised to consider later on in the fall when he gets back to Tuskegee. While here Dr. Washington called a few friends and visited the theatre, where he was the priest of Lester Walton the manager of the theatre. Your correspondent was present on the evening Dr. and Mrs. Washington were attendants at the theatre. Traveling with the educator was Emmett J. Scott, one of the finest specimens of young Negro manhood to be found in America. Dr. Washington and Mr. Scott make two of the most interesting personalities before the nation today. SOUTHERN EDUCATORS HERE At this writing the Metropolis is thronged with a large number of southern educators, principals of the various schools in the south. These devoted and self-sacrificing men are here in the interest of their schools and are calling on their many friends which are located here and other cities throughout the east and north. Among the educators here are Prot. Martin A. Menafo, of the Voorhees Industrial School at Denmark. S. W. Collier, of the University of Florida Baptist College at Jacksonville, Fla., and one of the foremost educators of the state; E. A. Carter of the State Normal School at Prairie View, Texas, who is a graduate of Harvard University and Prof. Miles Connor, head of the Department of Education at the State Normal School at Petersburg, Va. Prof. Connor is one of the youngest men of the race engaged in the field of education and is a noted figure in his state. He is a graduate of the Virginia State Graduate work at Howard University. In talking to your corporetant Prof. Connor said that the outlook for a big opening at the State Normal School) this year was very bright and that it was possible that the enrollment would be larger. CORRESPONDENT WILL FIGHT DISCRIMINATION IN POST OFFICE Next week your correspondent will begin his fight against discrimination or Negroes in the post office department of this city. Information has reached this bureau from a reliable source that the Negro clerks and other employees in the post office of this city are greatly discriminated against and are treated in a shameful manner that does not become the government. Your correspondent has discovered that Negroes who have been long in the service have failed to be promoted while white men of less time in the service and in many cases inferior have been promoted over the heads of capable Negroes. Negroes are barred from certain divisions in the many stations in the city and very few of them are given desirable tours. Your correspondent talked with men who have been in the service from ten years and over and all of them tell the same story of unfair treatment. CLEVELAND G. ALLEN.

Of this number there were 108 white and black deaths, leading to the health officials, was small for a city the size of Greater Richmond.

Echoes from the Supreme Lodge of K. of P.'s closed some weeks ago in Columbus, Ohio, have come into this office in no surprising degree and yet regrettable to note that the supreme officers are cited for contempt proceedings in the District of Columbia on about the 16th of October, this year. These kind of settlements, as we stated in our publication of last issue, are bound to hold the membership of the order. An organization of the intelligence that the ocular of the Supreme Lodge is (it appears) should be able to settle their differences within the ranks of the order and to the reasonable satisfaction of contending parties of both factions. The black man was no time to fight black men or leaders have no time to fight among themselves. In the time, money and thought to fight the common enemy or race and to advance proper conception among our people for the rights and privileges one to the other. The leaders must have more thought, more interest, more economy for the people they represent and whom they, sacrifice in their efforts to prove and establish some constitutional technicality that might be passed upon by a mutual, fraternal, religious agreement. We are not discussing the outcome of the contempt proceedings. It will be unfair to predict the outcome of such a proceeding unless we had copies of the bill before us and the action of said officers cited for contempt; but there is a general principle running through the law that warrants an aggressive expression in a simple warning that immediate adjustment in an effort to free both contention is the most logical and most thoughtful and only fraternal position to take. Opening up these differences may give rise to expression to some of the troubles not long ago passed through by the organization that made for it a marvelous victory and one perhaps that the law not put ourselves out of business by the use of our own constitution—Birmingham, Ala.

A CIVIL WAR VETERAN His father went to war in 1861 from Illinois. I gazed at the picture, "When your father said a thing, he meant it." I observed as I scanned the photograph. "You are right," said he. "I know it from the number of times he used the boot-jack on me." He explained that a boot-jack was a wooden prong for pulling off a boot. THE GREAT DETECTIVE. The porty nodded as a passenger passed going into the club car. "That's Mr. Burns," he said, "of the Burns National Detective Agency." "I didn't know he was on the train," I said. "I'll go and speak to him." I went to the club car. The great detective, who stands at the head of his profession in the world today, immediately extended his hand to me. "How are you, Mr. Mitchell," said he. "I am glad, so see you." Sit down. I told him I was on my way to Seattle to attend the sessions of the American Bankers' Association. I complimented him upon his work, and praised him for his great success in handling the affairs of the American Bankers' Association. THE SECRET OF SUCCESS He was greatly pleased. "You see," said he, "my success has been due to my method. I seek to prevent crime, rather than to punish the criminal after the crime has been committed. This has really been the secret of my success." He told about cases in which he had been interested, of the McNamara case in "california," of the shooting of Attorney Henry in California and the mark on his body, and killed, but for the timely interference of a police officer at the door. He reviewed his work, of his success on a New York case, where another great detective agency had failed. I listened with rapt attention. He showed no inclination to be rid of me, but I remembered my rule to never permit a gentleman to get tired of my company. I gave him a Mechanics Savings Bank booklet, a circular of the linenotype machine, the new type in machine, and my personal card and retired, while he said, "Mr. Mitchell, if you need me while in Chicago, do not fail to call me up at my office and I shall be glad to serve you. I leave Chicago tonight at 10 o'clock for Seattle and I regret your arrangements are such that you cannot go out on my train." A REVERIE OVER AN INTERVIEW I thanked him kindly and then I dispassed through the doorway. What my thoughts were are not describable. Where would destiny, and the good God lead me? My course seemed to be marked out and I must purse it. We were now on the outskirts of Chicago. The "excess fare train," the Broadway Limited, was on time and I would not get any money back. I was in the Union Station and must be transferred to the Grand Central Station. A white railroad porter, a "red-cap" grasped my luggage and carried it to the Farmale station. A few minutes afterwards was back-up to the Grand Central Station Another white "red-cap" was there to take my luggage, another "dig" at my pocket book.
