Is a Strong Agent in the Promotion of Kansas City's Greatness. VOLUME XI The Metropolita Is a Strong Agent Kansas City About a score of years ago Kansas City was in a very rude state. The city limits marked by Troost Ave., going east and the various streets within walking distance were nothing but vast woods. In those days the pioneers of the city had only mule cars for transportation and these were almost a failure because nearly every pioneer had conveyances of his own in the form of horses and wagons. Various companies owned the mule cars on different lines. Then came the boom which sent Kansas City fifty years ahead. People began to own property and the city began to grow and the city limits took another step forward. Then also the mule cars were changed by force of necessity to our latter day cable car system. velous changes in the portation. The Met even set Railway company the Club, prominently intervogued. But even than the old Tenth Street line was a dependent company showing that they were not any definitely organized system. Other independent companies were thinking of settling here but organized strength is always more powerful than scattered forces. The Metropolitan had the right of way because of its minority and soon it absorbed the old Tenth Street line. Cable Car Smith as he was then known was very prominent because he proved a great factor in the city's progress by his then inventive ideas of the Cable car system. Through him and other organized promoters along that line Kansas-City received THE BLACK DIAMOND DEVELOP MENT COMPANY'S STOCK IS A SAFE INVESTMENT. Dr. A. Wilberforce Williams, president of this company lectured at Allen chapel last Monday night. He gave the history of his company and showed the location of the property they own in Kansas by small and large maps. He says "the colored man must learn to make his money make money by investing it in some paying proposition." There are three things which you should know before putting your money into any corporation. First, who are the men behind the thing, are they good business men with finance? Can they do or produce what they claim. Third, have they a market for the product? The Black Diamond Development company has already accepted a contract signed and sealed to furnish the Missouri Gas Co., about all the natural gas they can produce. Therefore the success of the company is assured. You are advised to buy stock now at 50 cents a share as it may go to $1 at any time. THE MORAL GENIUS OF THE Y. M. C. A. A great campaign is being carried on in the city for the purpose of soliciting a fund to be expended for the construction of a building to be known as the Y. M. C. A. for the colored young men of the city. A few months ago a like campaign was carried on by the white people of this community in which they succeeded in raising a fund of $75,000 for the training of young white men of this community along those moral lines for which all Y. M. C. A are intended. Now true-hearted Negroes, let us rally from the very depths of our energy for the purpose of raising $2,000 for the moral education for our Negro youths. Sad indeed is the time when our Negro youths have no place to assemble for social felicitations, and good moral yearning and aptitudes. Now stand together Ne- renewed inspiration. Mr. Walton Homes as president of the Metropolitan, and other organized promoters came to the front. Electric cars at that time or a little before were being experimented with in our city. These various changes gave the Negroes much work to do enabling them to support their families, save money and acquired property. Thus you see that the Metropolitan helped all the citizens both black and white, and more than ever lending their efforts toward the city's progress. At this time stronger men came to the front. Pres. Bernard Corrigan and Gen. Mgr. C. M. Black with their quotery of promoters and stockholders put the Twentieth Century ideas in the company. Their motto was, "Let no stones or rough places, or stumbling blocks stand in the way of progress." Mr. Corrigan came all the way from a foreman of a Sexton gang to the eminent position as president of the company. The evidences of his works are seen everywhere. He believes in going among the masses connected with the company in arousing enthusiasm to their laborious occupations. Mr. C. N. Black as Gen. Mgr., has in no small part contributed and communicated his valuable ideas to the company. His task is an ardous one indeed as he must desiminate and differentiate the good from the bad and manage all of the technical work in this corporate body. Thus the thinking mind can readily see that the Metropolitan Street Railway has been and is a potential factor in Kansas City's progress. groves, 35,000 strong for the moral uplift of our young men. By their communications and association in a building known as the Y. M. C. A. They will be in a position to wield an influence for the betterment of the Race. DR. THEO. SMITH'S DEPARTURE DR. THEO. SMITH'S DEPARTURE. It is to be lamentably regretted that our popular young druggist, Theo. Smith is about to sell his places of business and depart for Boston. Mr. Smith has won a sincere place in the heart of Kansas City Negroes. This paper in commenting on that fact extends the wishes of thousands of conscientious Negroes that he remain with us. Dr. Smith has grown in the commercial world by some very miraculous efforts. He is very valuable to our city, as through his many places of business he has lent tone and dignity in the Negro world of business. Why not good people join with this paper and ask him to remain among us. His work is a common good to our entire race variety. He has the sympathy of thousands because of his sincere work along his own particular line. Kansas City holds out some bright prospects for our young business man if he will only remain. His success has already been assured by his self-evident assertions and strong indications. Dr. Smith may we ask you to stay as you have made your own place in society and established your own status in the business world. Well done, good and faithful public servant. Continue on your successful way. BALSIGER BROS. GROCERIES AND MEATS. BEST GOODS; LOW-EST PRICES, NINTH AND CHARLOTTE ST. BOTH 'PHONES 1808 MAIN. Dr. Williams was cordially received by the old Kansas citizens who knew him in pioneer days. The results of his visit have been very gratifying to him. Springfield, Mo, News. FROM SPRINGF$ELD. Editor Rising Son, Dear Sir:— Hon. A. W. Lloyd, G. C., Knight of Pythias for Missouri, wrote me recently that you would like to have an art title from Springfield and that I must tell you something. Well, my dear sir the Negroes of Springfield have lots to be thankful for and they need to get together and do something that will better the condition of the race and serve as an incentive for our young people—Springfield is quite a society town—three Masonic lodges, the K. of P., Knights of Tabar, Odd Fellows and very soon we will have the U. B. F.'s and G. M. T.s. The Royal Arch Masons and Court of Heroines of Jericho observed Palm Sunday here on the 24th and Dr. J. S. Dorsey, the efficient pastor of Washington ave., Baptist church, preached for them a masterful sermon on the subject: "Ideal Womanhood." The sermon was truly a treat of admonition and edification and was replete with rich gems of nature. The sermon was well received and by the way, Dr. Dorsey is doing a great work here for the race and for his denomination. Springfield needs such men and better still, Dr. Dorsey is a true Pythian and M. of Ex. of Fidelity lodge No. 7 on Sunday night March 24th. The K. of P and Court of Calanthe held their anniversary and Easter exercises at Washington Ave. Baptist church. The occasion was said to have been the grandest affair in the history of the order in Springfield and on Monday night, the 25th the order held a reception in their castle hall, at which, the Knight Templars of St Andrews and Commandery No. 27 turned out in full dress and attended in a body. The occasion was a grand affair—the leading ministers of the city turning out and taking part—the Knights of Pythias of Missouri under the leadership of A. W. Lloyd, are making themselves felt, and are doing a work for the race that can not be gained-said; they are proving beyond question the possibility of Negro leadership and his ability to manage and conduct great enterprises for the elevation and amelidation of the race. Mr. Lloyd is certainly an organizer and has done more for the order in the way of organization and influencing the leading Negro educators of the state to enroll in the K. of P.'s than all the other G. C. combined. Since the last session in Kansas City last July, he has organized 4 new lodges with a membership of 875 and two companies of the U. R. He is a Pythian that is doing things. His motto seems to be "When you have a good thing, push it along." A. W. Lloyd is certainly the right man in the right place. I am glad to note, also, that the colored press of Missouri has contributed very much to his success in the work of organizing and promoting the success and onward march of our progress in Pythianism and the Pythians throughout the jurisdiction should rally to the support of these journals. Pythians, Calanthians, Sir Knights of the U. R., if you have been slow and tardy in your support of these Negro journals, let me urge you and insist that you wake up and do something substantial, take the papers, read them, distribute them among the brothers and last but most important, pay for them. The writer, is proud to report that we now have a promising U. R. company in Springfield and when you get ready to board the train for Louisville, next August look for "Syracuse" company No. 1, from Springfield. The Knights Templars of this city, together with Euclid Chapter No. 24, O. E. G., observed Easter at the C. P. Church Sunday, March 31st. An interesting musical and literary program was rendered. The Knights were looking their best. Dr. Dorsey and Simpson, made telling speeches, discussing what the race needs and what we must do. Dr. Simpson is the newly called pastor of Gysson Chapel C, P. church. church and is an able and scholarly minister. We predict for him a successful and beneficial stay in Springfield. We invite more such men and God bless our race. God bless our knightly band. God bless our leaders and give us more competent and worthy ones. God bless our press, God enable us all to come up fully to the measure of our opportunities, realizing that "we grow, like the things our souls believe and rise or sink as we aim high or low. JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION. The entire office force of the Washington and Richmond headquarters has been moved to 194 Cumberland street, Norfolk, Virginia, where the work is now being carried on with a vigor and thoroughness that be tokens results of a most satisfactory character. The United Order of True Reformers, of which Rev. W. L. Taylor, of Richmond, is president, is to illustrate in a practical way the development of the Negro as a banker. They will erect a substantial building, and throughout the life of the Exposition, will have in full operation a model bank, with safe deposit attachment, staff of cashier and tellers, and wik handle the money of concessionaires, receive deposits from visitors and employees, and transact a regular banking business for all who may require suca service. Our people may congratulate themselves upon the happy location of the Negro Building. It is situated near the main entrance to the Exposition grounds, and faces the principal thoroughfare—the first and most conspicuous structure the visitor sees when he passes through the gates. The North Carolina exhibit will be especially fine, perhaps the most elaborate of the state exhibits. The work from the North Carolina institution for the Deaf, Dumb and Blind will be worth traveling many miles to see. This comprehensive exhibit is due to the energetic labors of Dr. C. N. Hunter, secretary of the State Commission, and Field Agent C. H. Williamson. It will be remembered that the state of North Carolina appropriated the handsome sum of $5,000 to aid their progressive colored citizens in letting the world know how rapidly they are moving forward. W. Sidney Pittman, who has been in Norfolk and at the Exposition grounds supervising the erection of the imposing structure he has designed, is one of the leading architects in this country, irrespective of race or color. He is a graduate of the Tuskogee Institute, and of the Dresvel School of Fine Arts at Philadelphia. The building is a classic structure, 213 by 129 feet, two stories in height, and will cost $40,000. It will be in itself a monumental exhibit of the artistic and mechanical genius of the Negro people in America. The Indianapolis Freeman, a newspaper that enjoys a national reputation, and which is conceded to be one of the most influential race champions in the land, is out in a strong editorial endorsement of the Negro Exhibit. The race press can always afford to follow where Freeman leads. Wilberforce University and Hampton Institute will make displays that are sure to attract widespread attention. ERNEST HOGAN IN "RUFUS RAS TUS." The unbleached American is playing in a very good musical comedy, which has attracted much attention for the past two years. This is the last year Mr. Hogan will play "Rufus Rastus". He will start from New York next year with a new company entitled "The Minister to Blazazas." The lyrics of this company and of the new company were composed by Mr. Lester A. Waldon, an old newspaper man of St. Louis, Mo. Remember that H. C.

THE YOUNG MEN MUST STAND TOGETHER. In this community there is a conspiracy on a part of some of the older men to hold our young men down. This has been in evidence on several occasions. The older men some of which have not taken advantage of their opportunities find themselves being crowded by our younger men and they feel that the young men should be held back. Everywhere a young man sticks his head up for recognition, he finds the older man with the big stick ready to beat him back in line. The older man stir up strife between the young men in order to keep them from progressing. What must the young man do? They must Stick together. They must organize in order to advance. They must be prepared together to fight their way to the front. Just a few days ago a Negro principal refused to support a Negro enterprise carried on by the pupils of the various negro schools of this city we dare say, some of them possibly went to him. Now what is his duty as a teacher. Here they are. First he is to give his children knowledge and teach them race pride. Second he is supposed by his own actions to train them in the manner in which they should follow. We wish to ask the public, has he done this? His job is a public position, held by the virtue of the race which he represents. Hundreds of families send their children to his school. They are sent there to receive a uniform education, but he in the very act of educating them threatles the ambition of those gone on ahead. Is this true education. No! It is a farce. It only shows he is a figure head and is only working for the salary it pays him, and not sincerely for the race. Young men you must stand together. Don't let the old men throttle your ambition. Pull yourself up by your boot straps. Rise ever up over their struggling forms. MR. L. R. SPRINGER, THE PROPRIETOR OF THE SADDLE ROCK OYSTER PARLOR AT NO. 709 WYANDOTTE ST.

The subject of this sketch, Mr Ross, has lived in Kansas City for 26 years. He has been connected with the Second Baptist church during his entire life in this community; doing great work for the church. He has been identified with every race enterprise tending toward the uphill of the race. At present his steady and sincere work in the Y. M. C. A. is attracting great attention because of his splendid progress Mr. Ross took charge of the Y. M. C. A. when it had completely gone to almost failure. Prof. Starnes was the original organizer, but it was left to Mr. Ross to follow him and slowly build the institution on a stronger basis. At present his great work is confined to a $2,000 canvass. Mr. Ross well deserves the hearty co-operation of his race. His work is an open book, even onward to make good Christians and citizens out of our young men. This is his great aim in life.

SOCIETY HAS REACHED A HIGHER PLANE IN KANSAS CITY. Friday ago in Kansas City Negro society in this community was in its infaney Today Negro society of this city has reached a high obb With the importation of the many Negro professional men the status and scope has been raised very high indeed. Society is made from positions and salary; from legitimate business; from old settlers and old families; from property owners and buyers The Negro has fairly met these expectations. Of the various walks of life wherein the society is being shaped is through our mail carrier, teachers, preachers, doctors, lawyers, and Negroes holding various other jobs demanding large compensations, making the holders factors in the social swirl. Let this progress continue and Kansas City will be the queen city of the West for Negro citizens. They will come from far and near to enjoy some of Kansas City's climate and affable people.

SHUN HOODOO DESK CLERKS AT WASHINGTON ARE SUPERSTITIOUS. No One Cares to Work at Places That Seem Marked Out for Mis- fortune—Doorkeeper's Post an Example. A series of misfortunes involving dismissals, resignations and deaths in the executive departments in Washington often develops what is known as the "hoodoo desk." says the Washington Post. A desk comes under suspicion after a dismissal of two from the service or after several transfers or resignations, and if there should occur several deaths among the occupants of the desk in the course of a year or two it is designated as the hoodoo desk, and no one in that room cares to do electrical work at it. In a room filled with clerks the hoodoo desk is easily recognized, for it is most generally occupied with the surplus books and general litter of the daily routine work. The desk may remain unoccupied sometimes for months, until some new clerk comes into the room and is assigned to it provided there is no other vacant desk in the room. Bureau officials generally avoid assigning a new clerk to the hoodoo desk if it can be done. In fact, the desk is apt to remain without an occupant until radical changes in the personnel of the office cause its reputation to be forgotten. In one department there is a hoodoo desk from which four clerks have died in the last two years, two have resigned one has been dismissed and three have been transferred. Therefore, no one cares to occupy it now. A $1,200 clerk said several days ago, in a half-hearted way, that he would move from his present room and try it for awhile if they would promote him to $1,500. He said afterward, how ever that he was merely taking. But there are other boodles in Washington. Some years ago a doorkeeper's post in the war department building came under the ban and it was a source of considerable annoyance to the officials. At this particular door the first misfortune was death, the second dismissal, the third holder of the post lost his wife by death and finally tell and bribe a limb, and the fourth appointee in succession lost a child and then resigned. This resignation kept the place vacant for a time, as no one could be induced to take it. The place had to be filled by calling on the civil-service commission for some one from the outside. Perhaps the most conspicuous case of a hoodie desh in any one of the Washington executive departments was that in which a succession of mls-fortunes came to private secretaries of one of the assistant secretaries. Several deaths and other mls-fortunes made the place dreaded. Unfortunate Twins There is a colored woman who resides in one of the courts in the northwest corner of Washington, and who has a onechant for bestowing upon her children unique Christian names. She has named one of her girls Antosia and another Cymbaline, while her oldest boy bears the cognomen of Prince Edward. It recently occurred to her that "plekanniny" would make a good prefix for her next girl, and she decide to apply it. But recently she became the mother of twin girls, and one of her friends called to see her and queried: "Now, Liza, you done got two gals; whatcher gwine her name um?" "Well, Susanna, you know I stuck on dat name Pickaninny, and Use gwine ter arrange it so's I can gib it to my two twins. I Use gwine ter name one ob dem gals 'Pickle' and de oder 'Ninny', an' datt' make de whole word—'Pickaninny'." Rumor Busy With Carlisle. The Hon. John G. Carlisle who has an intermittent residence in Washington with his daughter-in-law and granddaughters at his handsome home in K street, presented to him years ago by his Kentucky admiress—does not deny the soft impachment when taxed with his projected marriage to the beautiful Mrs. Loanan of Virginia, sister of the Hon. St. George Tucker, president of the Jamestown exposition. When asked directly, "Is it so?" Mr. Carlisle, the distinguished widow owerly slips on a kindly mask of importability and makes a reply of adroit noncommitableness. Hence —? Will See All of America. Secretary Taft may visit Alaska next fail. He is going to leave Washington for the Philippines about Sept. 1. And it is very likely that he will make a side trip to Alaska, sailing from Seattle for Manila after his return. Mai Willis P.

When he has seen Alaska the secretary of war will have visited every decency of the United States with the exception of Samoa. Mrs. Longworth in Society. Mrs. Alice Longworth is taking her place as a hostess in Washington society and her Tuesday at homes are becoming one of the weekly features of the capital.

It seems to me that with the multiplication of books we are losing all sense of literature. Leisure and three books, a Bible, a Shakespeare, a Walt Whitman, might make a man truly wise if the seeds of wisdom were in him. I do not know even a wise man whose instinct for wisdom would not be deadened by the frequentation of the Encyclopaedia Britannica. Books should be taken in doses no bigger than music or pictures; they are even harder to digest. There is more drunkenness in a book than in all the vineyards of France. A book may remake a man's soul. Books should be treated with reverence or cast out as dirt. They are in danger of passing out of the service of the temple into the "parcel delivery" of the grocer. Nothing is cained by reading a book unless you give to that book more than it brings to you. All these people who read with their eyes only are fatally wasting their time. A book read superficially makes the reader more superficial, and to read for "information" is to gnaw at the bones of meat—Arthur Symonds in London Saturday Review. New York Births and Deaths.

The true way is to find out what is best to eat and drink, and then cultivate a taste for those things instead of poisoning ourselves with improper, indigestible food, etc. A conservative Mass, woman writes; "I have used Grape Nuts 5 years for the young and for the aged; in sickness and in health; at first following directions carefully, later in a variety of ways as my taste and judgment suggested. "But its most special, personal benefit has been a substitute for meat, and served dry with cream when rheumatic troubles made it important for me to gvp up the 'coffee habit.' "Served in this way with the addition of a cup of hot water and a little fruit it has been used at my morning meal for six months, during which time my health has much improved, nerves have grown steadier, and a gradual decrease in my comfort."

The aggregate losses of one group of young society men and women have been conservatively placed at $20,000,000. The head of a family whose ancestor was founder of one of the greatest railroad systems in the country is said to have been 100,000 shares long on Union Pacific. His loss in this stock alone is over $3,000,000. A woman member of the Vanderbilt family also is said to be a heavy loser. A close friend of the young railroad man, also a society leader, is said to have been almost "broke" in the recent crash. He has since sold his new 70-mile-an-hour automobile to get ready cash, and to-day is reported to have put his Tuxedo villa on the market. The rush into the market of Thomas F. Ryan is said to have been principally to save from absolute ruin the WHEN the gigantic terminal building of the McAdoo tunnels under the Hudson river is completed the extremes of metropolitan life will touch elbows in two unique clubs recently formed in the financial district. One of these is the Railroad club, which will be one of the greatest aggregations of millionaires in the world. Its luxurious quarters will be on the twenty-first and twenty-second floors, whence it will overlook with a watchful eye the converging tides of commerce flowing into the city through river and harbor and the thousands of miles of railroad which stretch away in every direction from the Jersey shore. There are no luxurious appointments, and not even a meeting-room, for the "Hot-Ak Club" of "sandwich" men, and the only dues are the pennies exacted from the members present to provide beer when the club as FEUDAL CASTLE TO BE BUILT ON THE HUDSON FEUDAL CASTLE TO BE BUILT ON THE HUDSON ON the heights of the Hudson, opposite West Point, In Putnam county, one of the most elaborate county houses in America is to be built this summer by Evans R. Dick, banker and broker. The place, when completed, will cost nearly a quarter of a million dollars. Feudal castles of the Tyrolese and old monasteries are the models on which the Evans home is planned. It will be built entirely of cement about a courtyard 60 feet square. The cement will be in tones to give the appearance of age and this will be carried out in the dull toned tiles of the roof. Loggias and towers attached in irregular order will further preserve the character of an ancient pile built in different periods by additions from time to time. A peristyle across the front of the court will connect the two main wings. While the main part of the castle C. P. HUNTINGTON'S widow, it is understood, is going to make another Huntington alliance. Her engagement to her late husband's nephew, Henry Huntington, which has so often been reported only to be denied by the wealthy widow, seems now about to be consummated. The announcement of a coming marriage will not be delayed long according to news from Paris where she is at present. She has purchased a home there and has commissioned one of the largest furniture and decorating houses on Fifth avenue to fit it up to her fancy. This appears a bit unusual, but the firm in question has an international reputation and is so familiar with her tastes that sending representatives over to Paris is not really a case of carrying coals to Newcastle. Mrs. Huntington was the second wife of Collis P. Huntington. She was before her marriage Mrs. Ara- first named society speculator. That he was successful is said to have been due only to rapid manipulation of large blocks of Interborough and Consolidated Gas. That society was hit hard by the crash did not become known until its members began to negotiate their old line securities. Women, reported to have been drawn into speculation through their male relatives, are said to have been the tools of big financiers. Stories of the heavy losses reached the street from the clubs most frequented by young men of wealth and old family connections. Many more of such men, it appears, have been sorely hit in the market than had previously been believed. It is probable not half has been told, for the stories of losses are notoriously modest in showing themselves. The losses of the smart set is causing much talk in the financial district. It is freely admitted that the gayety of Newport will be curtailed through the lack of money. EXTREMES IN CLUB LIFE IN FINANCIAL DISTRICT sembles in a nameless alley on Cedar street, almost within the shadow of its wealthy neighbor. A "sandwich" man is an individual whom hard luck and an unwillingness to beg compels to parade the streets literally sandwiched between two billboards or carrying an advertising sign high above his head for the modest stipend of one dollar a day. A community of misery has led these luckless individuals to select as their meeting place a sidewalk grating protected from wintry blasts by tall buildings, through which a current of hot air from the engine-room of the Equitable building affords slight comfort. Here the sandwich men congregate daily, sometimes a bare half dozen, sometimes 20 or more, under the presidency of "Old Sam," who has no other name among his confreères, although his manner and speech betray signs of better days. comprises three wings there are two additional ones abutting, one for bachelor guests and one for the servants. In its greatest reach the house will be nearly 200 feet long. Each member of the family will have an entire suite, including bedroom, dressing room and bath. To the Evans children one whole wing is devoted. The library will be partly underground in a part of the building planned to give a bastion effect. Throughout the interior the feudal character will be maintained in the fittings and furniture. About the low lying building the Evans estate spreads to 200 acres. The grounds in front of the house, running down to the river, are to be inclosed by high cement walls guarded by turrets. The entrance driveway will be from the rear, circling a huge fountain behind the building. At the gate will be a lodge keeper's house in a style in keeping with the feudal estate. HUNTINGTON WIDOW MAY SOON WED HER NEPHEW bella Worsham. The multimillionaire died in August, 1900, leaving her property that is estimated at $22,000,000. Henry E. Huntington, his nephew and business successor, was given an $8,000,000 share of the enormous estate, while the magnate's adopted daughter, Clara, now Princess Hazelfeldt, received considerably more than $1,000,000. His adopted son, Archer H. Huntington, was given $3,000,000. Since her husband's death Mrs. Huntington has lived quietly going little into society. She has never attained any remarkable social success in spite of her magnificent estate and social ambitions. Henry Edmund Huntington, the nephew of whom Collis P. Huntington was most fond, has lived for many years in California, where he, of recent years, has been identified with real estate and street railway inteests in Los Angeles. He was divorced from his wife, Mary A. Huntington in April, 1906. HELP FOR THE LOBSTERS. Government Takes Steps to Prevent Their Extinction. While the national government does not wish to mollycodle the lobster, and would like to train him into an upright and self-reliant citizen, there has been so much talk and fear of his extinction lately that the fish commission is going to take the situation seriously in hand and begin the propagation of the crustacean on an extensive scale at a station in Booth-Bay, Me. An appropriation of $200,000 has been made for this purpose, and operations will be begun with 20,000 lobsters at the station this season. It is believed that 20,000,000 lobsters can be added to the invisible supply this year. Attention will be given to developing extra thick shells or a sting in the tail or some other method of defense from their natural marine enemies. One of the scientists has discussed the possibility of crossing the lobster with the cuttlefish and developing an ink bag with which he could muddy the water and escape from his foes, though it may be decided to hybridize him with the flying fish and grow wings on his shoulders. Anyhow, the best that can be done will be done to keep up the supply of this toothsome univalve. The development of the most luscious breeds will not be overlooked, and it is understood that a self-sacrificing squad of young government employees, analogous to Dr. Wiley's poison squad at the department of agriculture, will allow themselves to be experimented on with various culinary preparations, a la Neuberg, broiled live and chafing-dish stews. The lobster has been more or less neglected up to date, but the fish commission is determined that this error shall be corrected in future it scientific acumen and a paternalistic government can do it. HAVE NEW TEMPERANCE IDEA. Washington Men Would Promote Drinking of Light Liquors. In connection with the proposed prohibition crusade in several states, the statement was made recently that several Washington men are about to engage in a novel temperance movement, says the Washington Star. It is said they propose to form in all sections of the country societies, the members of which will be pledged to drink only light wines and beers, and to be moderate even in those indulgences. The promoters of this scheme claim that the evil of habitual drunkenness can only be cured by the use of lighter beverages, and base their claim on certain injunctions in the Bible, as well as on scientific reasons. The claim is made that scientists have come to regard the moderate use of light wines and beers as beneficial in cases of diposmania. They point to the hospital records for evidence that the deaths as a result of alcoholism are in every instance caused by the excessive use of the heavier liquors, such as brandy, whisky, rum and gin. They also point to the infrequency of deaths from that cause in the beer and wine countries of Europe. It is said that the first of these "temperate" societies may be established in Washington. His Point Well Taken. According to a story related by a representative from Tennessee, there was a negro who was elected to the legislature of Mississippi during reconstruction times. He was uneducated, but knew enough to vote with his party every time, and he picked up a few pointers on parliamentary law. This negro was drawn on the jury of the circuit court. The docket was crowded and the court held until a late hour. One evening the colored juror was tired and hungry and did not relish the prospect of being kept from his supper. He astonished everybody by rising in his seat and exclaiming in a loud voice: "May it please de coht, I moves you, sah, dat dis coht does now adjourn' until tomorrow mawmin'". The judge was amazed and informed the sable juror that court's never adjourn except on their own motion. "Dat's all right, sah," responded the parliamentary juror, "but, sah, yo kaint deny dat a motion to adjun' am allus in order, sah." Sightseers at Capital Washington is, in proportion to its size, the leading rubberneck wagon town of the world. There seems to be a rubberneck wagon on every block of the town during all of the daylight hours. But there wouldn't be one if the proprietors depended upon Washingtonians for patronage. It would probably be within the strictest boundaries of truthfulness to say that not one quarter of the white folks of Washington have yet been within the library of congress, which unbused travelers call the most beautiful building in the world. Yet that building is crowded at all hours, up to 10 o'clock at night, with visitors from other places. Up-to-Date Excuse. Thomas Jones, a citizen of dusky hue, was in the dock at the police court at Washington a day or two ago to answer a charge of stealing an overcoat. It wasn't no use for Thomas to try to slip off the coat and blame for the whole occurrence, because he was wearing the puffed garment when arrested. "Why did you take it?" queried the judge as the prisoner was arraigned and, perhaps, pleaded guilty. "I can't tell you' fo' sure, please yer onner, exceptin' I'se got 'temperery' La sanity and the un'ritten law." WOMAN'S REALM DETAIL IN DRESS VAST IMPORTANCE OF THE SMALL THINGS. Business Women in Particular Should Be Careful That Accessories of the Toilet Are in Prop- er Shane Once upon a time this scribe was traveling in Scotland, and stopped for service at a little church in the Highlands on a summer Sunday evening. The sermon was preached by an old clergyman, who spoke in a broad Scotch dialect, and took for his text, "Beware of the foxes, the little foxes!" A quaint subject for a sermon. And the good old divine laid stress upon "the little foxes" that attack one in daily life. He spoke of the little things, the multitudinous little things, and their relative significance; and then went on to point out their tremendous importance when considered in relation to the whole, to the sum total of life. "Tis the little things that count!" and it is the little things of dress that really make up the whole, the sum total of one's appearance. The head of a large corporation had occasion to advertise for a stenographer. Applicant after applicant for the position was examined in the private office. Some were dismissed with a few words, and out of over 40 candidates but three were retained to undergo further test as to their fitness for the work. The president said: "You noticed that there were some girls whom I asked if they could take dictation in some one or another foreign language. Well, it was not that I require such work, but merely that their appearance was against them, and I wanted to let them down easy. One girl had a skirt with a long train to it, quite unsuitable for a business office, all though it might be all right for a theater party. Another had a lace waist, with a lot of fancy ribbon fixings, that looked like an afternoon tea table. Ornamental and Useful, and Easily Made at Home. Photo frames covered with embroidered silk or linen are very dainty, and they may be easily made at home, or re-covered where necessary. The frame we show is covered with pale grey satin worked with pink and green silk. The size of the frame must be regulated by the size of the photo it is intended for. Stout cardboard is used for the foundation. In it an opening must be cut with a knife. Cut silk a little larger than the foundation, then work with the sign shown. One or two strands of floss or file-floss may be used for the work, and two or three shades of each of soft tones of pink and green. Your tiny gold sequins are sewn in each square or knot-stitches in gold silk may be worked if preferred. When the embroidery is finished the silk should be stretched over the card. The edges must be snipped and fixed at the back with seccotine. A piece of glass must also be fixed by seccotine behind the opening. For the back, cut another piece of card like the front, except the opening is not required, cover with sateen. LONG LINES ARE SWAGGER. Most Dressy of the Models Put Forth for Approval. Plain cloth two-piece frocks are smart for street wear now, and will be much used in stripes, checks and plain materials. The models on which these garmeats are patterned are stunning yet simple enough for a young girl's use, or equally appropriate for a matron. The skirt, made on long, graceful lines, is gored and absolutely without trimming, except at the bottom, where there are several rows of stitching, or a narrow flounce. The waist may be either plain, the cloth laid in graduated folds over the shoulders, coming to a point at the waist line in back and front, or braid or lace may be used on the edges to give variety and add decoration to the costume. Worn with a fichu of lace such a suit is quite dressy enough for afternoons. The sleeves are puffs that end in cuffs, which fit close around the elbow. Styles in Sleeves. Long sleeves are alone appropriate for the tailor made blouse. The cuffs may be elbow length or shorter, but with the long cuffs on dark linen bed lees separate white lingerie cuffs should be added. Narrow cuffs of the regulation three or four-inch width finished with a soft frill or plain with jewel cuff links, are really most appropriate with the severe waist. For tennis and general morning wear this style of sleeve will be found infinitely more comfortable and sensible than the dainty lingerie affair: that has been popular now for some time. Another showed gloves with her fingers sticking through for lack of mending; while another had her hair so befrized and becuried that she looked more like a toy terrier than a stenographer. You noticed, doubtless, that the three I retained for examination had plain clothes, neat and tidy—although, perhaps, they might not be considered in the first flight of fashion uptown, and the impression they gave me was that of successful business women. Their hair was well brushed, their collars fitted, their shirtwaists set well and their belts looked trim and trig; and I just guessed that their work would be like their appearance—up-to-date, trim, trig and business-like throughout. There is no one who should be more careful or pay more attention to her appearance than the business woman to day. Good taste in dress cannot assert itself just as conspicuously in business garb as in dinner gown or dressing frock. A well fitted tailored shirtwaist of some durable material, either a linen or madras, if wash materials are liked; or one of mohair, coleen poplin or a plain dark taffeta, if laundry bills are somewhat a consideration—preferably with a detachable collar, since the collar soils so much sooner than the waist. Some arrangement or device to hold the shirt waist and skirt together is necessary to the trim and trig set around the waist that the present fashion demands; and a skirt well cut and short enough to clear the floor all around completes the costume. Where a touch of color is liked, a little butterfly bow and a ribbon belt to match will serve to relieve the severity of the garb, without in the least detracting from the suitably plain appearance of the design. For example, a very pretty dark blue mobalir shirtwaist is furnished with sets of cravat and belt. Some are in plaid ribbons, some in pale blue velvet ribbon, while a little made bow tie is matched in a belt of bliss armure of a brilliant tone of scarlet, which well sets off the somber tints of the dark blue and does not look in the least out of place, since the little touch of color is but a mere hint. then fix to the edges of the front with seccotine, or seam together neatly, leaving the bottom unjoined to slip the photo through. If the frame is to stand, a support of double card an inch wide must be covered with sa- ```markdown ``` teen, and one end sewn to the center of the back. A pretty silk furniture gimp, composed of the same colors as are used in the embroidery, should be fixed round the edge by a little secretoine. MILLINER OF THE MOMENT Flowers Lavishly Used, Though Some Augustes Are Seen. In the lavish use of flowers there is less call for plumage, but a number of models sent over here for opening-day inspection showed Paradise plumes, long ostrich plumes, and cock's plumes, set in with clusters of flowers, holding them in place, while in the smaller creations the aigrette was often in evidence, says the New York Post. Grass aigrettes are certainly very attractive for midsummer wear. In team they have the appearance of a paradise tail, and are to be had in different colors and combinations, the shaded ones being particularly effective. Many novelties in the feather and aigrette are noticed. Argus quills, coque feathers, maraboot combinations, fancy quills, all have been refashioned in lightened and more any manner, for use in the military, and are more beautiful and alluring than when adorning our head, gear this winter. Light Furs in Favor The Parisienne who values her figure with not wear bulky furs and clings to Persian hood in black or the new gray. She has it made cut away at the throat, where she shows her pretty lace collar or chemisette, or she wears her large coats or small fur cravats with it. Woven cloths in imitation of furs cut after these lines, exquisitely tailor made, without cheapening by trimmings, are well worn as small coats by the girl who has nice furs to go with them. Above All Things the Walls Shout! Be Kept Dry. When the bedroom becomes a sick room there is an added reason why extreme precautions should be used to keep the room in a thoroughly sanitary condition. Above all things, the bedroom should never be damp. It should be nice and dry, always warm and comfortable in winter, cool and ally in summer, and bright and sunny some parts of the day. If there is any suspicion of dampness in a bedroom it is probably due if there is wallpaper on the wall, to the absorption of water by the paper which frequently acts as a blotting paper and holds quantities of water in it. The use of wallpaper on walls is to be deplored; it means disease, health and unhappiness. It is frequently the cause of lung trouble, not only because of its dampness but also because of its power to retain infection of many kinds. The desired method of treating a bedroom wall is to tint it for the alabastined wall is a perfect wall. I never flakes off, chips or peels. It aborbs moisture and expels it, it open the pores of the plaster and makes a room livable and breathable. The floor in the bedroom should have light, cleanable, dainty rugs that can be easily shaken and a floor that is thoroughly oiled or varnished, that will not absorb moisture. The cracks in the floor should be thoroughly filled and covered. Woodwork in the bedroom should be attended to carefully window sills should be thoroughly varnished or waxed, and the window catkins kept in perfect order. The door should be wiped off frequently as albs should be all the standing woodwork in the bedroom, as the presence of dust on woodwork is a menace to health as well as an evidence of poor housekeeping. WOMEN IN NEW FIELDS. British Smart Society Takes to "Hoping"—Woman Veterinary. Work in the hop fields is the latest "rest cure" fad for London's smart set, and the luxurious society "hoppers" claim that a week's hopping is far better and more pleasant than rest at any well-known health resort. The tents of these well-to-do pickers are expensively furnished, and easy chairs, soft beds and up-to-date camping outfits are among the hopping appliances. In Berlin there is a woman veterinary surgeon who is an official inspector of animals. She rides through the streets on the lookout for animals suffering from any disablement, and before reporting a horse as unfit for work, she examines its injuries and whenever possible applies remedies to alleviate its pain. She carries a leathercase filled with bandages and other surgical appliances. Important to Mothers.

Mr. Beardsley is very kind to our race and it is expected that the request by our race will be complied with in so far as it can be done. We have a number of competent Negroes who could fill any position he gave us with great satisfaction. Upon one or two occasions reporters of this paper have been refused admittance because they did not have passes or tickets. Therefore, To the Negroes who don't know we would say to you that newspaper men are always admitted, or rather they should be admitted to any public affair, and to many private affairs which are not of the strictest private nature without a ticket, pass, etc. We hope it will not be necessary to call attention to such any more. In this community 5,500 Negro voters helped to elect Mr. Kimbrell to carry out the law and he was reelected on the same platform. It only goes to show that Mr. Kimbrell as others on the county ticket just elected are not friends of our race. You officials can keep us out of jobs and the like, but when you refuse to perform a moral duty you have injured every Negro voter in Jackson county. This will greatly lessen Mr. Kimbrell's chances for being elected to the criminal bench against Judge W. H. Walace to which he aspires two years hence. Let the Negro men stand firm in the defense of their women. CAPT. EDMONS OF THE EIGHTH WARD IS OUR CHOICE FOR CITY ASSESSOR. The Rising Son is supporting Capt. Edmon's for City Assessor. He is a great friend of the Negro and has done good work for the Republican ticket in the eighth ward. George Himes, the present incumbent is no friend of the Negro, eH is opposed by the entire 5,500 Negro voters because he has attempted to throttle their rising manhood. Stick with your friends. Stick with Capt. Edmons, for he is our friend. To the victor, belongs the spoils. "WE MUST GET CLOSER TO GETHER. To the thinking Negroes of Kansas City:—What is best for us to do to build up the enterprise of our race in this city? Can we not get a little closer together? Why is it we do not patronize one another in business lines more than we do? What help do we get from the other race along our professional and business lines? How can we give one another employment if we do not cater to each other? It is your money that a white man wants and not your credit which he would rather you would not ask for. An instance happened a short time ago which illustrates that he wants your money only. A Negro or our city called a white undertaker to take charge of the remains of his brother. Having gone to the place and seeing conditions he would not transfer the remains to his establishment. His excuse was that he had no room in his morgue for it. He would lay out the remains where he died, in a poorly ventilated room, but as he thought there was no money in the case, he recommended it be taken to one of the colored firms in the city. Of course as the white undertaker would not take charge of the remains, the poole had to fall back on their own undertaker. It is a real shame that a large number of our people who know that the white undertakers do not give any better service than the colored, and yet they patronize them. The colored undertaker of this city are well equipped to handle the best Negro trade in any city. What is the matter with our ministers alliance? Where is their influence? Why do they not preach the necessity of patronizing and helping to build up our business enterprises a little more? There is not a church in the city that is not calling on the business men to help them, and if the ministers would call on their congregations to help their professional and business men oftener, we believe the people would rally to the front. It is ashame the number of Negroes who employ white doctors. Ask the undertakers who sign the most death certificates. Who are the majority of Doctors attending Colored people. They will tell you white doctors. And are killing you all the time, then get a white undertaker, who only wants your money, and say, I got a "coon" last night, it will give me good luck this month. Then you will have to ask your colored friends to act as pallet bearers. You ask your minister to open his church and preach the funeral for you. Please show me where one Negro has been benefited by such a transaction. Through sympathy and friendship your friends have lost a day's labor to act as pallet bearers. You have carried mud in your churches and given the janitor a lot of extra work. You have worried your minister and monologized his valuable time. "You have given the white man all of your money." When you see a friend about to act so foolish remind him, not only of how bad it looks, but of how bad it really is. If we continue to patronize the professional and business world of the white race how can we, as a race, ever accomplish anything. Stop and consider. We must get closer together. MAYOR BEARDSLEY HAS BEEN ASKED FOR TWO MORE NEGRO CLERKS. Next week the mayor will make his midyear appointments. It is expected that there will be some changes in the administration. It is expected that he will take care of some of the boys who supported him a year ago. In your making up of your complete administration don't forget the Negro, as he is a part of the machine. The Negro has admiration for our esteemed mayor. We are asking you in which body we represent, to name other Negroes. Mr. Beardsley make this race of ours proud of such a splendid gentleman. Give it to us as you think we deserved it. Give us some token of your regard for our progress. We are asking you from a logical standpoint. The Forum meets every Sunday afternoon at 4:00 o'clock at Allen Chapel and subjects of vital importance to the race are discussed by some of the best minds. You are invited to attend the meetings. Prof. Foster, President, Why not let the "Son" Rise in your home to brighten the household. We are getting the news. We want you to make it your paper. As it is an educative Journal for Negroes.

It is quite society to meet at the fountain after each service at Smith's. This means money in your pocket.

Just a few days ago, a representative of the Son called on a certain Principal for his subscription. 'We refused to pay. Does he think this paper is being run on a little $1.50 that he is withholding from us? You are entirely mistaken. We don't need you but you will need us sooner then you expect. A man of your supposed standing, holding a position by the virtue of the race that refuse to support a race enterprize. We say Pooh! on that kind of a Negro Leader. Well we wont shed any crocodile tears, but we are going to tell the community things we know about you. Because we refused to write up some certain teachers, you thought you were getting back at us. Well you will hear from us. You are not to big for us to tell of your faults. You made a mistake this time. OUR POLICY—The management of this paper takes a decided stand for honesty as the best policy. We propose to give every one a square deal, and we only ask for the same. It shall be the constant endeavors of the new management to place this paper upon a high basis, to stand for the right, to speak out against, and expose the wrong, to commend, the aggressive and successful, to encourage and defend the weak and struggling whose ideals are high and whose motives are pure, to champion the cause for the best interest of the Negro race. To fight for good in the name of God. To the Negroes who desire to see, to have and maintain a good Negro weekly newspaper, which has been the cry heard around and about the city. We wish to say that it will take a great deal more than talk to do that, however, we assure you that if you will subscribe for the Son and pay for it, and induce your friends to do the same, it will not be long until your desires be fullfilled.

RIGHT SORT OF CORN BREAD Found Only in Tennessee. According to Nashville American. The best cornmeal in the world is made in Tennessee—though the output is limited and not much of it reaches the market where urbanites dwell. The steam builthone has driven the water mill almost into desertude, only to be in turn crowded out by the modern roller mill. The ancient water mill still lingers in remote sections and mountain fastnesses where clear waters flow through pobly channels in sylvane shades. More than one of these ideal mills may be found on Fighting creek in Seyler county, under the shadows of the Big Smoky, and near unto Sugarland region, where the untasted juice of the corn flows from modest and retiring stills.

But they don't bring the meal to town. The town raised person's taste is too vitiated to appreciate it, says the Nashville American. When he eats corn bread at all with his old margarine or canned soup, he wants the roller mill product, which suggests the idea of sautéed breakfast food to a Battle Creek Yankee. The right sort of corn bread is made from meat ground on a slow running water mill from corn that has been well dried the little end of the car shelled off for the chickens or pigs, the rotten grains carefully combined, and the corn run through a fan mill. Before being made into bread the meal is sifted through a wheeled or sifted, the meshes of which are not too fine. Then it good bread is not produced it is the taut of the cook. The use of sugar in making any form of corn bread should be made a felony. There is as much difference between bread from properly ground meat and the common meal of cotinine as there is between a Smithfield ham and a packing house ham.
