RICHES TO FIND MORE WORLD'S Carnegie Gives $10,000,000 More For Scientific Work. PLEASED WITH SUCCESS OF INSTITUTION Facetiously Objects To Being Interrupted and Asks Scientist Out Of a Room, But Hands Over Big Donation With the Hope That It Will "Interest" Caller Until Carnegie Has Time To See Him—Ironmaster Enjoys Incident. Has Given Nearly $200,000,000. Andrew Cannegie on December 14 established a $10,000,000 fund to encourage world-wide peace. At that time it was estimated that the ironmaster's benefactions aggregated $187,000,000. Among the most notable gifts had been, the following: Carnegie Institution, of Washington, $15,000,000; Carnegie Foundation, $15,000,000; libraries in the United States, $44,500,000; libraries in foreign lands, $10,000,000; Carnegie Institute, Pittsburg, $16,000,000; Scotch universities, $10,000,000; hero funds, $5,000,000; Carnegie, Steel Company employees, $5,000,000, and Dunfermline endowment, $5,000,000. Others were these: Polytechnic schools, Pittsburg, $5,500,000; Peace Temple, at Hague, $1,750,000; Allied Engineers' Societies, $1,500,000; and Bureau of American Republics; $750,000. New York (Special).—The donation of an additional endowment of $10,000,000 to the Carnegie Institution of Washington by Andrew Carnegie, the founder, was announced Friday. This brings Mr. Carnegie's gifts to the institution up to a total of $25,000,000. Coupled with the formal announcement was a Declaration by Mr. Carnegie that the work of the institution had cleared from blame the captain of a British ship who ran his vessel upon the rocks by proving that the British Admiralty charts, by which the captain was guided, were 2 degrees or 3 degrees astray. 60,000 New Worlds Discovered. The discovery of 60,000 new worlds by Professor Hale at the observatory on Mount Wilson, California, also was announced. The observatory was established by the institution, and its operations and discoveries afford Mr. Carnegie more delight, perhaps, than any other workings of the institution. Mr. Carnegie also announced that a far more powerful telescope than man has ever made is now under construction for the Mount Wilson Observatory. With it he hopes to make possible the discovery of still more celestial bodies. In confirming a report of the endowment Mr. Carnegie said: "The report is correct. They had a large endowment before and $10,000,000 makes the total of their endowment $25,000,000, but the institution has already scored successes to justify even that sum. I-believe that the institution in research will pay tenfold in service to the world." WORKED HER FARM AT 93. Oldest Native Resident Of Pittsburgh County, Va., Dead. Dänville, Va. (Special). — Mrs. Judith Coleman Anderson, the oldest native resident of Pittsburgh county, who was born in May, 93 years ago, died at her home near Dänville Friday. She was twice married, but both husbands preceded her to the grave many years ago. Mrs. Anderson lived on her farm, Miss Jane Reld, an aged friend, being her only companion. She was confined to her bed only two days, and up to her recent illness attended to her, own household duties and managed the farm. She leaves no direct descendants. YOUTSEY DENIED PARDON. Governor Willson Believes Him Th Gullity Of Murder Of Goebel. AtronFrankfort, Ky. (Special)—Gover- In Willson has refused a pardon to angry E. Youtsey, convicted of the murder of Governor William Goebel. The Governor says he believes Youtsey is guilty of a cruel murder and therefore refuses to grant the pardon. The Savannah Tribune. LODGE WINS LONG FIGHT Senator From Massachusetts For a Fourth Term. Boston (Special).—Henry Cabot Lodge won the hardest fight in his political career of nearly 30 years Thursday and returns to the United States Senate for a fourth term, with the support of 146 out of 279 members of the Massachusetts Legislature, or six more than the number necessary for a choice in the joint convention. A. H. HENRY CABOT LODGE. U. S. Senator from Massachusetts. Two Democratic Senators, Martin H. F. Curley and Michael J. Murray, left their party to vote for him, but their support was not necessary. Representative James R. McInerney, another Democrat, was in the chamber but did not vote. He did not care to oppose Senator Lodge, because of personal friendship. GATHERING OF THE LEADERS. Harmony Banquet Of the Democrats a Success. Baltimore was the scene Tuesday of the greatest demonstration in the history of the Democratic party since its national convention of 1908 in Denver. It was the Jackson Day National Democratic celebration which began at 1 o'clock in the afternoon with a mass-meeting in the Lyrie and which ended after midnight with the close of the banquet in the Fifth Regiment Armory. The most striking development of the many during the day and night was the inauguration of a movement for holding the Democratic National Convention in Baltimore next year. It marked the passing of Hon. William Jennings Bryan as a Democratic party leader and as a possible fourth-time candidate for the presidency, as far as the sentiment of the speakers—notably, Senator Bailey, of Texas—could relegate him to the rear. Mr. Bryan himself was not present, nor would be indite a letter to be read at the gathering. Still another striking development was the expression of a decided preference for-Governor Judson Harmon, of Ohio, as the Democratic candidate for president next year. At 1 o'clock the doors of the Lytic swung open and the waiting crowd rushed in. The first sight in the lobbles which greeted the throng were the posts urging female suffrage. The Lyric was beautifully decorated. American flags were in evidence. Gen. Murray Vandiver, chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee, called the meeting to order and introduced Gov. Austin L. Crothers, who presided. The speakers were: GOV. JUDSON HARMON, of Ohio, SENATOR JOSEPH W. BAILEY, of Texas. HON. CHAMP CLARK, of Missouri, prospective Speaker of the House of Representatives. The tenor of all the speeches was that as a result of the November election the Democratic party had been placed on probation; that the people would watch its course with great care, and that it must live up to its promises to win continued support. BESCUE 155 CHILDREN Firemen Drag Little Ones Out Of Beds and Down Ladders. Binghamton, N. Y. (Special). Fire in the basement of the main building of the Susquehanna Valley Home imperiled the lives of 155 children and the 18 attendants and officers of the institution, and but for the bravery of the teachers, the firemen and, in instances, the children themselves, grave loss of life must have resulted. Train Hits Cow; 30 Hurt. Fort Smith, Ark. (Special).—Thirty persons were injured, four probably fatally, between Hartford, Ark., and Monroe, Okla., when a Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific passenger train struck a cow. SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, JANUARY 28, 1911. PAUL MORTON DIES SUDDENLY Stricken With Hemorrhage in New York Hotel. President Of The Equitable Life Assurance Society Had Been Suffering With a Fatal Illness, But He Did Not Know His Life Was In Danger—Was Secretary Of the Navy Under Roosevelt — Wife Reaches Side After Death—Was An Authority On Railroads. Life Sketched In Brief. Born in Detroit, Mich, May 22, 1857. Taken to Nebraska City when six month old Became assistant general freight agent on the Burlington at 21. Promoted to general passenger and general freight agent. Engaged in the coal and iron business in 1890. Vice-president of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company and president of the Whitebread Fuel Company, 1890 to 1896. Became third vice-president of the Sante Fe in 1896. Was made second vice-president of the Sante Fe in 1898. Appointed Secretary of the Navy in 1904. Resigned to become president of the Metropolitan Street Railway in 1905. Elected president of the Equitable Life Assurance Company in 1905. New York (Special).—Paul Morton, president of, the Equitable Life Assurance Society and Secretary of the Navy under Theodore Roosevelt, died of a cerebral hemorrhage in the Hotel Seymour here Thursday night. His wife and his elder brother, Joy, were at his side 15 minutes after he was stricken, but he never regained consciousness and at 6.45 o'clock, an hour after he was stricken, he died. There will be no autopsy. Mr. Morton himself had no idea that his life was in danger, but his family, his physicians and a few close friends knew that his condition was precarious and that if he did not take care of himself grave results would follow. Joy A. Morton gave a full account of his brother's ill health and sudden death. "Paul and I took luncheon together at noon," he said. "I had just come on here from Chicago, and Paul met me at the station. We went to the Equitable building together, where, at Paul's request, I attended a meeting of the board of directors at which he presided. Then we had luncheon together in the building, and sat together talking until perhaps 2.30 o'clock. "I had other business and so had he. 'See you at the house at 6 or a little before,' I said, and we parted. I never saw him alive again." Mr. Morton was to have started on a vacation trip to Europe February 22. Coroner's Physician O'Hanlon said that from the antecedent history and the symptoms there was no doubt in his mind that death was due to arterial sclerosis, a hardening of the walls of the arteries, terminating in a cerebral lesion. The death was reported to the coroner's office in the usual stereotyped form. Few, if any, of the directors of the Equitable had news of the death until they were informed by the newspapers. E. W. Bloomingdale, Robert De Forest and Frank S. Witherbee, the last named also of the executive committee, were all deeply shocked. Denounces the Press. Columbia, S. C. (Special).—Weak from illness, Coleman Livingston Blease, of Newberry, was Inaugurated Governor Tuesday. Lieutenant-Governor Charles A. Smith, of Timmonsville, was also sworn in. Governor Blease devoted nearly half of his inaugural address to a denunciation of the press. Kalser Kicks Against Tax. Berlin (Special).-The Reichstag debated, the second reading of the government's unearned increment tax bill Friday and adopted an amendment subjecting the German sovereign houses to the tax. The government is strongly opposed to this innovation in German constitutionalism. CLARK IS NAMED SPEAKER Also Gets Ovation as Presidential Candidate. Washington, D. C. (Special.)—Representative Champ Clark, of Missouri, the Democratic leader of the House and receptive candidate for the Democratic nomination for the presidency, was nominated by acclamation Thursday night for Speaker of the House in the Sixty-second Congress. This, with the selection of a committee on ways and means to make an early preparation of tariff legislation for submission to Congress immediately upon the beginning of the next session in December, when the House becomes Democratic, was one of the features of a caucus of the Democrats—the old and new members—of the next Congress held in the hall of the House at the capitol. A. H. Representative Oscar W. Underwood, of Alabama, was unanimously nominated for chairman of the Ways and Means Committee. His name was proposed by Representative Champ Clark. The caucus adopted the Foster resolution clothing the Ways and Means Committee with the power of naming the standing committees of the House, subject to caucus ratification. A great ovation was given Champ Clark when Mr. Wilson, of Pennsylvania, in a speech declared that he would gladly vote for Clark for president. About 210 Democrats were present. Mr. Hay, of Virginia, presided, and Mr. Ashbrook, of Ohio, was secretary. ATLANTA JOURNAL INDICTED. Said To Have Violated Postal Laws In Mailing Sample Copies. Atlanta, Ga. (Special).On the charge that sample copies of the seml-weekly Atlanta Journal were mailed on several days in 1908 as though they were copies for subscribers, a Federal grand jury Wednesday indicted the Atlanta Journal Company, James R. Gray, president of the company, and John D. Simmons, C. H. Babb and V. P. Harper, employees. The indictment in no way involves the daily or the Sunday Journal. The amount involved is said to be $700 postage charges. $c$ STEEL HEAD GETS $50,000. Salary Of Farrell Only Half That Of Schwab and Corey. New York (Special.)—Although Charles M. Schwab and William F. Corey, as president of the United States Steel Corporation, received $100,000 a year, James A. Farrell, the new president, will receive only $50,000. The Finance Committee of the corporation is empowered to fix salaries, and Mr. Farrell's salary has been placed at just one-half of what his predecessors received. Money Put In Right Place. Washington, D. C. (Special).—President Taft received a telegram informing him that San Francisco had raised $75,000 for the American Red Cross. He has replied to William W. Morrow, chairman of the endowment fund, as follows: "I congratulate you on the contribution to Red Cross from San Francisco of $75,000. It is putting money in the right place." $2,000,000 For Naval Base. Washington, D. C. (Special).—A $2,000,000 appropriation for the new naval home at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, including not exceeding $300,000 for a naval hospital, of which $75,000 is immediately appropriated, was agreed upon for inclusion in the naval appropriation bill by the House Committee on Naval 'SHOULD CONSULT WITH NEURO. Opinions of Negroes Should Be Obtained in Handling the Race One of the leading white men of the South, in outlining three factors which he thought should be considered in dealing with the race problem, named the Negro himself as one of them. His idea was that the Negro ought to be brought more and more into consultation on matters touching his own welfare. This spirit is growing in the South. It has had several concrete manifestations in Virginia within the last five years. Another indication of the broad liberal spirit of the young Southern white man towards the Negro is shown in his willingness to engage in work which has for its primary aim Negro uplift and advancement. Some of our best educated and most resourceful Southern white men are engaged in educational efforts which deal exclusively with Negro education. The Negro is better understood. His strivings, ambitions and economic and moral condition are viewed with a clearer perspective and in truer proportion. The spirit in favor of better educational advantages for the Negro in the South is growing. There are hundreds of white men who want the Negro to have better school houses, longer terms, better teachers, better sanitary conditions, and adequate equipments. Some of these speak out boldly in the interest of Negro educational betterment; others work in a quiet way to the same end. The spirit of toleration is further shown by the young Southern white man's interest in the material advancement of the Negro. He wants the Negro to become an economic factor in the community where he lives. In most of the speeches to Negro audiences the idea of home getting, thrift and wise investment is emphasized. J. M. Gandy, in the Southern Workman. Race Progress As Reported by National Negro Business League. Mrs. Maggie Hast is a successful milliner of St. Paul, Minnesota. Work on the hundred thousand dollar Y. M. C. A. building at Washington, D. C., has been resumed and the structure is to be pushed to completion. C. H. Baldwin, a wealthy white capitalist of Dayton, Ohio, has recently established in that city factories where Negroes are employed in which are manufactured carpets, overalls and brooms. There is also a laundry with the very latest improved machinery. Those who are employed live in houses built by Mr. Baldwin. These houses are altered or contracted to suit the ideas of the tenants. Mr. Baldwin is not dispensing charity, but simply giving Negroes an opportunity. Mr. Henry A. Loveless of Montgomery, Ala., is one of the most successful undertakers in the state. Governor-Hadley of Missouri has recently appointed an important Tuberculosis Commission. The object of the Commission is to find out just what the sanitary conditions are among the Negroes. The commissioners are Dr. T. W. Coston, Jefferson City; Dr. J. E. Perry, Kansas City; Dr. W. S. Carrion, St. Joseph; C. P. Covington, Louisiana; Mrs. Nevada Kenner and Dr. George S. Jackson of St Louis. The Wage-earners' Loan and Investment Company of Savannah, Ga., the first Negro Saving Bank opened in Georgia is one of the successful banking institutions of that state. The officers of the bank are L. E. Williams, president; W. R. Fields, vice-president, and Walter S. Scott, secretary and treasurer. Messrs. Claude Jackson and Adrian Cotton are successful photographers hog which after it was dressed tipped the scales of six hundred forty pounds and a small one that when dressed weighed one hundred ninety-eight pounds. Mr. Copeland is not troubled about the high price of meat or wheather or not the Chicago packers are going to quit business. A recent report of the Adjutant General of the Army pays a high tribute to-the reliballity of the colored soldier. His report shows that from two and one-half to three times as many white soldiers desert as colored soldiers. The desertion rate of our colored troops compares favorably with the low rate of the British army. NO.19. WILL EXTEND Y. M. C. A. TO THE COLORED RACE CHICAGO MAN OFFERS A LARGE SUM TO ERECT BUILDING FOR COLORED YOUTHS. J. ROSENWALD THE DONOR $25,000 For Every City That Will Raise $75,000 for Y. M. C. A. Building for Negroes. Chicago.—(Special.)—A move to extend the scope of the Young Men's Christian association to Negroes was begun here with an offer by Julius Rosenwald, head of a big commercial house, to give $25,000 to every city in the United States which will raise $75,000 to be spent for a Y. M. C. A. building for Negroea. The offer is good for five years and the only stipulation is that the entire sum must be spent for land, building and furnishings of the institution. The offer was made at a meeting at which plans were completed for building a Young Men's Christian association building for Chicago Negroes and came after Mr. Rosenwald gave $25,000 for the building. It is, according to Y. M. C. A. officials here, the first move of the association to aid in a solution of the race problem. "It seems to me that both in the interests of the Negroes and of the country, it is essential there should be in every community having large numbers of Negores, a building primarily for men and boys," said Mr. Rosenwald. "They have not; yet in their own ranks a sufficient number of persons whose means would enable them to establish and equip such a building and it is, in my judgment, the duty of the white people to aid in supplying this need." L. W. Messer, general secretary of the Chicago association, is placed in charge of awards and he is empowered to deliver the $25,000 to any community as soon as $50,000 of the sum named is raised. N. W. Harris, head of a banking house, also contributed $5,000 for a Negro association building here. An organization of 250 Negroes was formed which will begin soon the task of raising at least $50,000 to be added to the sum to be spent in the erection of a building in the Negro section of this city. "BLACK MAMMY" MEMORIAL. Splendid Meeting of the Association Was Held in Athens, Georgia Athens, Ga.—(Special.)—A meeting of the trustees of the "Black Mammy Memorial association" was held in the office of the mayor of this city. Plans were discussed and decided upon in regard to the building of the school buildings and the equipment of this institution, which is to train the colored boys and girls of the state in industrial work, the unique feature being the training of the girls in cooking and general housework, teaching them to do the kind that made the "old black mammy of to de wah" famous throughout the South. Among the out-of-town trustees the most prominent is ex-Mayor Robert F. Maddox of Atlanta, who has taken great interest in the formulating of plans and the establishment of the school. SNAPSHOTS ON PROHIBITION. In Ireland there were, 5,519 less drunks in 1909 than in 1908. Scotland shows little demand for hops. The hop fields of Washington are being turned into small fruit or chards as rapidly as possible. It makes no difference what laws may be made to stop the sale of intoxicating liquors, the brewers will not observe them nor try to enforce them. In order to get such laws-enforced we must put the liquor forces out of business. The platform of the Republicans of Idaho favors a resubmission of the constitutional amendment at the next general election. From the reports now in it can be seen that the taxable property of Kansas has increased $1,000,000,000' during the last ten years. A CREED FOR THE DISCOURAGED I believe that the trials which beset me today are but the tests by which my character is strengthened and made worthy to enjoy the higher things of life. I believe that I am the architect of my own fate, therefore I will not yield to discouragements; I will trample them under foot and make them serve as stepping stones to success. I will conquer my obstacles and turn them into opportunities. "Our Negro Congressmen, Who They Were and Their Worth," was the subject of the essays that were read at Bethel A. M. E. church, Chicago, before the Bethel Library society. The meeting was largely attended, and there was much interest manifested. Mr. B. W. Fitts, president of the society, presided and a musical program was given. The first speaker was Mrs. S. D. Porter of Olivet church. Her essay was well received, and her records were excellent. Miss Mary Anderson was the second lady to appear on the program. Mr. W. E. Johnson of Bethel church read a good paper and James A. Scott closed. All the papers were interesting and showed research. Nine judges were appointed to pass on the merits of the essays. They were as follows: Miss Mary J. Anderson of Quinn chapel won the diamond ring or the best prize among the ladies and Mr. James A. Scott won the best prize for the man, which was a gold signet ring. Miss Anderson's essay is as follows: At the close of the Civil war the civil and political condition both of the emancipated slave and the Southerner was little short of chaos. Few of our keenest statesmen could make an intelligent forecast of the future of either race in the Southland. It was the logical result of a terrific and bloody war, between two sections of a house divided against itself on the question of slavery. It left the newly emancipated race in a partial state of freedom, but entirely without the means of protecting itself. A people who had just shaken off their chains, without education, without experience in self-government, were generally looked upon as, wholly incapable of exercising the most ordinary rights of citizenship. But the wisdom of our wisest statesmen who were true and tried friends of the emancipated slave dictated that these newly made citizens should at once be clothed and armed with the ballot, as the best means of protecting themselves in their new condition. In the meantime a great many colored men and women of the North, of education and culture, had answered the "Macedonian cry of the new citizen, 'Come over and help us.'" This influx of Northern material added to the number of brainy men and women of the South, who in time of slavery had improved every opportunity of self-education, made it possible to secure able representatives of the race for the responsible position on national legislators. During the ascendancy of the Republican party in the decade between 1865-75 we had nearly a score of able representatives of colored men in the halls of congress. To think that even the enemies of the colored people will concede that the most poorly qualified of our representatives in congress was not a disgrace in point of general fitness for legislative work, to either race in this country. Congress even today has many a member of the Anglo-Saxon race whose qualifications are far below the average Negro congressman of the reconstruction period. The first representative of the Negro race to become a member of congress was Rev. Hirman Revels, who was sent to the United States senate by the Mississippi legislature. Hirman Revels was one of the bright lights of the African Methodist church and was amply able to represent both races of his state. He is spoken of by those who watched and studied his career in the United States' senate as a cred- HERALD BLASTS. "I shall not want," is always the song of the soul in which there is no doubt. Whoever gives his body to be burned, and has not love, throws away his ashes. No greater mistake can be made than to make the accumulation of riches the first business of life. The lantern that only shines when the sun shines will never be of any service to those who are lost. Unless we say "Our Father" in our money getting, we cannot worship God by saying it in church. Without consistent Christian life to back up the preacher, there is no use in ringing the church bell. The preacher who puts thought into his sermons, will, sooner or later, find himself preaching to people who think. Suppose there are hypocrites in the church, does that make your sinning any safer? The man who loves sin is a sinner, no matter how much he pays for a pew in church. It hurts more to live a day without prayer than without bread. Begin every day with this thought: What happens today will be what God sees is best. The Christian never has to count his cash to find out how much he has to be thankful for. A cold church will soon begin to warm up when God's fire is burning in the preacher's heart. 'Isn't there a strong touch of hypocrisy in thankking God for the bread and finding fault, with the cook? -Home Herald. itable member of that distinguished body. The state of Mississippi sent another senator to Washington in the person of Blanche K. Bruce. Senator Bruce had been, a student at Oberlin college, Ohio, and enjoyed other educational advantages. In the early part of his career in the senate, he so demeaned himself as to win the personal friendship of Senator Roscoe Corklin, then serving the state of New York in the senate. This recognition of Senator Bruce by Senator Coklin seemed at once to elevate Senator Bruce in the esteem of all his fellow senators, which fact made him a very useful member of this august body. The last representative of the colored race in the United States senate was Senator Pinchback from Louisiana, whose membership in that body was brief because he was appointed to fill the unexpired term of his predecessor. Senator Pinchback was a man of some education and was a remarkable and forceful figure in Louisiana politics for many years. Probably the most brainy and able representative of our race who ever graced a seat in either the lower or the upper house, was Robert Brown Elliott, from South Carolina, a member of the lower house. Congressman Elliott was an able lawyer, a profound scholar and easily worked his way to the front rank making a lasting reputation in his speeches on legal proposition and other matters of general legislation in the house of representatives. He was an orator and a forceful debater, and came to be recognized by able critics as the ablest Negro who ever entered congress. He certainly left in his brilliant career a rich legacy to his race The state of Virginia sent to the lower house of congress another able and scholarly representative in the person of Prof. John Mercer Langton. He was a graduate of Oberlin college, a lawyer of ability and orator of great power. His career in the house was highly creditable to the race and to the country. This sketch would by no means be complete without special mention of the political career of the Hon. John R. Lynch, who served for many years the state of Mississippi as a member of the lower house of congress. Lync. was a good speaker, of some education, a self-made man and an indefatigable worker. He exerted a large measure of influence in congress and out. He was a familiar and a remarkably active member of many national Republican conventions. He is at present paymaster in the regular army. The history of the Negro race could not be trutfully written without special mention of the Hon. John R. Lynch. The state of Alabama sent to-Wash ington as a member of the lower house the Hon. James Rapier, who was educated in the Canadian schools, and was a business man of rare ability, as a humorist and wit he had few equals. During his short career in the house of representatives he made a highly creditable record. His usefulness to the race and the nation is of a high order. There were many other colored congressmen. Among them White, Rivers and our fellow townman, Murray, who made their mark and proved their usefulness to the nation and the race. Those men wrought wiser than they knew. Their presence and conduct in the halls of congress of this nation so awakened the nation to the fact of what was in this race of ours, lying dormant power, and that at once we would soon become such a potent factor that we could not be Be Calm. After all; we merely trod In a path of discontent Wrong, heedless of the God That loves, for all betterment. Weak mortals, then are we As uncertain as the clouds; Beling so, we fall to see The danger it often enshrouds. We group onward, the way Slowly plodding, treading here; Hoping for a brighter day With doubt dread and fear. Then why such hopeless dreams? Why hope and then repine The sun in golden beams Will always glow and shine. It is only faith we lack, The courage that is lost; It but needs calling back— Back from the withering frost. We are chilled in mind, Feverish in our nervous haste Forgetting, irresquile, all blind, In that blindness find waste. —W. W. Rhea, in Illinois Chronicle. Modern Version.

They identified themselves with all of the legislation in the interest of the Negro proposed at the time of their membership and also with the legislation in the interest of the people at large. What was their worth to the nation? 1—They demonstrated to the world the Negro's capability as a lawmaker. 2—They proved to the friends of freedom and equality that no mistake was made in giving the Negro the rights of citizenship. 3—As the Negro soldier in the Civil war fought bravely for his country, so the Negro congressmen by voice and vote in the hills at Washington stood by the government in all its trials. As senators and representatives in the Congress of the United States, they made for themselves and their race an enduring place in history. The speeches they made in congress in discharge of their duties, at the most critical period in the life of the nation, will remain and should remain as beacon lights to future generations, and a priceless heritage to all men who honor and esteem the faithful public servant. 1 regret that the limitation of the number of words forbids that I should make further mention of these distinguished representatives who deserve unique places in "our hall of ram."—Illinois Chronicle The Decanter. There was an old decan- ter, and its mouth was gaping wide; the rosy wine had ebbed away and left its crys- tal side; and the wind went humming, humming— up and down the sides it flew. and through the reed-like, hollow neck the wildest notes it blew, I placed it in the window, where the blast was blowing free, and fancied that its pale mouth sang the queerest strains to me. "They tell me—puny conquerors!—the Plague has slain his ten and War his hundred thousands of the very best of men; but I"—twas thus the bottle spoke—"but I have conquered more than all your famous conquerors, so feared and famed of yore. Then come, ye youths and maidens, come drink, from out my cup, the beverage that dulls the brain and burns the spirit up; that puts to shame the conquerors that slay their scores below; for this has deluged millions with the lava tide of woe. Though in the path of battle darkest waves of blood may roll; yet while I killed the body, I have damned the very soul. The cholera, the sword, such ruin never wrought as I, in mirth or malice, on the innocent have brought And still I breathe upon them, and they shrink before my breath; and year by year my thousands tread the dismal road to death. PEARLS OF THOUGHT. One swallow may not make a summer, but it certainly warms a fellow up. The Lord loveth a cheerful giver. He ought to. The breed is scarce enough. Some men can't even discharge a duty without making a noise like an explosion. About one man in a thousand is blessed with the ability to let well enough alone. The minute a man is in a position to live comfortably he isn't satisfied to live that way. As for the newly rich, many a woman has a boudour who doesn't know how to pronounce it. The troubles we can always bear with admirable fortitude are the troubles of other people. By the time a man is ready to wear fame's laurel wreath his head is so big that it no longer fits. When the devil feels the need of a good, hearty laugh he goes to a cemetery and reads the tombstone inscriptions. In the matter of charity, many a man is always ready to put his hand in his pocket—and keep it there. The fact that a good beginning sometimes makes a bad ending influences some people never to begin. Some women make a fetish of their powder puffs, while others stick to their clubs. Getting attuned to the noises of some neighborhoods is harder than playing a nocturne in G sharp. People lose a lot of valuable time wondering if 'thus is so when it wouldn't profit them to know. "WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?" "The young lady was painting—sunset red, with blue streaks and green dots. The old rustic, at a respectful distance, was watching. "Ah," said the female artist, looking up suddenly and pretending she hadn't known he was there all the time. Perhaps he to, too, nature has opened her sky-pictures page by page. Have you seen the lambent flame of dawn leaping across the livid east, the red-stained, sulphurous islets floating in the lakes of fire in the West, the ragged clouds at midnight, black as a raven's wing, blotting out the shuddering moon."

Little Things Worth Knowing The prisoners at the Columbus, U., penitentiary are to put on a minstrel show and vaudeville production, which from the present outlook is to surpass any like production seen on the penitentiary stage. The prisoners have gone into the work with a will, and they are going to show the officials that they can put on a better outside. Only prisoners are to take part in the production, the state managing and everything else being done by them. W. H. Tribou of Hampton, Me., who last spring planted seven hills of peanuts as an experiment has dug them up and found from 22 to 28 nuts on each plant. Mr. Tribou thinks that when the nuts are dried they will be of good flavor. Many Norwegian families from the cities spend two months out of each summer in the mountains or along the picturesque fords. Portable colleges are a feature of this outdoor life. Mrs. Rose Terry of Cadallac, Maine, has gone to Kalaiah Falls, Ore., to take entire charge of a large electric lighting plant.

"The higher you are the safer you are in cross-country flying," says Mr. Drevel, who never feels comfortable flying across country in England at a height of under eight hundred feet. When Mr. Ardele flew homeward from Bournemouth he lost his way in the air through oil flying from his motor into his face and forming a film over his eyes without his being aware of the fact at the time. He imagined himself in a dense mist until he bathed his face in hot water, and so cleared his eyes. What the theater really needs is a Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Audiences. Why are we supposed to have more respect for gray hairs than for a bald head? A man can face the world with a good heart if he can also face it with a good liver. From a masculine point of view would it be heresy to question the sex of the devil? Some fat men are meaner than other men simply because there is more of them. Many a man who thinks he is in love lives to discover that second thoughts are best. Some men are born great, some acquire greatness, and others have greatness thrust upon them, but it doesn't seem to take any of them long to get rid of it. The Modest Model The late Julia Ward Howe, though a woman of very good appearance, was extremely modest. "She once posed for me," said a Boston painter the other day. "But she hesitated a long time before consenting. To urge her on I said: "Don't be afraid, I will do you justice, madam." "Ah, she answered, 'it isn't justice I ask for at your hands; it's mercy.'" Not Just Off the Shelf. Little Marget has the childist trait of curiosity, especially in regard to the age of her elders.

"Owing to some disagreement with magazine several years ago they have become quite vituperative, and of late have publicly charged me with falsehoods in my statements that we have genuine testimonial letters. "It has been our rule to refrain from publishing the names either of laymen or physicians who have written to us in a complimentary way, and we have declined to accede to the demand of attorneys that we turn these letters over to them. "I am asking a few men whom I deem to be friends to permit me to reproduce some of their letters over their signatures in order to refute the falsehoods. "We have hundreds of letters from physicians, but I esteem the one that you wrote to me in 1906 among the very best, particularly in view of the fact that it recognizes the work I have been trying to do partly through the little book, 'The Road to Wellville.' "I do not sell or attempt to sell the higher thought which is more important than the kind of food, but I have taken considerable pains to extend to humanity such facts as may have come to me on this subject. "In order that your mind may be refreshed I am herewith enclosing a copy of your good letter, also a copy of the little book, and if you will give me the privilege of printing this over your signature I will accompany the printing with an explanation as to why you permitted its use in publication in order to refute falsehoods, and under that method of treatment I feel, so far as I know, there would be no breach of the code of ethics.

My Dear Sir: "I write to express my personal appreciation of one of your business methods, that of accompanying each package of your Grape-Nuts production with that little booklet "The Road to Wellville," A more appropriate, clear headed and effective presentation of health-giving auto-suggestions could scarcely be penned. "Grape-Nuts is a good food in itself, but the food contained in this little article is still better stuff. I commend the practice because I know that the greed and strenuousness, the consequent graft and other types of thevery and malicious mischief generally can never be cured by legislative action.

OF INTEREST TO OUR WOMEN cS ee || OF INT 3, OUR * TINS? PRINGIPLES IN THE LAUNDRY. Irons must be muca hotter fo: starched pieces than for flannels. Fo these they must barely hiss under the touch of a moistened finger. A few of the essentials to the iron ing table, besides the table itself and the irons, are an iron-stand, an iron holder with an asbestos lining, a bit of beeswax tied up in a piece of cheese cloth, a bowl of warm water with 0 spenge or a piece of soft linen with which may be dampened scallops and edgings which have become too dry to iron well, a plece of paper folded with soveral thicknesses on which to test the heat of the fron and to wipe any black smireh from it. Take your clothes from the line as socn as possible after they are dry. ‘They are likely to become too stiff if left out longer than necessary. De especially careful to bring starch- ed clotives in as soon as they are dry When it is cold, the freezing takes out the stiffness, and when the weather is damp the clothes become limp. Fruit-stains on linen may be remov- ed by pouring boiling water through them, Stretch the spotted part over a bowl and pour the boiling water on the stain, It may be necessary to re- peat the treatment several times In ‘order to remove the stains entirely. ‘Tea atd coffee stains may be_eradi- ated by tae same method. The soon- er they are taken out the better. Wine stains may also be.removea by the het water applied in the same manner. * In dampening. clothes for ironing, use eitaher a whisk or ong of the reg- ular clothes sprinters whfeh are made for this ~pecial purpose and have the water in it hot or at least very warm, Sprinkle one piece at a vime, spreading it out smooth be- fore sprinkling, 2ud roll up tigatly.— Christine Terhune Herrick, in Wom- an’s Heme Companion. USE OF VELVET. Velvet is* used in tujs season's smodes in ways that would have been called odd a few sears ago. Even white lingerie dresses have borders of yelvct, applied like deep hems, and the’ vetvet is used for revers on the gowns. Ancther striking combination Is to use velvet with the English eyelet em- broidery oa white Tinen or cambric. This embroidery is sometimes made up over black silk and bordered witn black velvet. Sometimes the velvet is the foundation and the embroidery is used as a sort of tunic. Waile black just now 1s tue most popular, the colored velvets seem to be rapidly gaining favor with the fasn- ionable, and they, too, have their vbare in the sudden popularity of the fabric. LEATHER COLLAR SETS. Leather collar and cuffs sets -on tailor-made sults are, of course, not very new; but they are neing revived in the sudden return of leather, and are seen frequentiy in black patent Jeather on tweed or covert suits of brown blue and gray. Sometimes, too, they, are in waite; one such was worn with a white serge coat, cut in empire style and disclosing a very smart red and white striped waistcoat “beneath, TO SPRINKLE TABLE LINEN, Use, a large salt shaker and into the water put a little ccld starch—a tablespoonful in a quart of water. ‘The Jinen will look like new, having only & slight stiffness, FASHION NOTES.

Beef and lamb shoul never be overcooked, rather a tris rare; chicken, nowerer, should always be well cooked. ‘Milk. ‘This ‘must continue the stad by. quart a day 13 nok too much. JI not perfectly digested, in its unimodal fied state, It may be prepared in the following way: To six ounces of milk add one ounce of cream’ and three ounces of water. Eggs; One soft-boiled, coddied or poached egg may be given every day, ‘but it is often wiser to give every oth- er day, especially before the age of five years. Eggs are a very valuable form of food, and it 1s unfortunate to create in children a dislike for them, and tis frequently happens when they are used every day for long periods. ‘Broths. These are valuable’as stim, ulating foods. They are made more nutritious by the additfon of cream or mille and when thickened by arrow- Foot of corn-starch. Cereals, always well cooked, may be eaten twice a day, morning and even- ing. Oatmeal, wheat cereals, nominy, corn-meal mush, fariaa, etc., give op- portunity for pleasant variation. Cream or rich milk, but little, if any, sugar should be eaten with these. Cardy, in small quantities, of un- doubted purity, may sometimes take tne place of dessert, or a lump er two of sugar may be allowed at the close of a meal, dinner preferably, even when a simple dessert nas been inclided—Jean Willlams, M. D, ip Woman's Home Companfon. . WASHING LINEN. The best way to wash a skirt of tan. colored linen is to plungé it into wa- ter in which a handful or two of hay has been boiled. When the skirt has been washed in the prepared water—which shoud be only wamp, not hot, when used with good white soap—it must de thoroughly rinsed and hung in the air to dry, If a little stiffening and gloss are desired two tablespoonfuls of starch should be added to the rinse water, and the skirt snould be ironed while damp. | TO SOFTEN WATER. - Hard water can be easily softened for toilet purposes if’a musin bag containing fine oatmeal be squeezed out in the water before using. Fresh oatmeal jsaould be used every day. HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS Having several pairs of shoes and never wearing the same pair more than one or two days at a time will rest the leather and make it last bet. ter. Chamols leather should be washed, | when necessary, in soapsuds, and rips ed in soapsuds—not in clean water. Treated thus it will keep its original softness. ‘ Any dish that bas held dough, milk, cream or eggs should be rinsed in cold water before being placed in hot wa- ter, as hot water tends to cook such things and make them more difficult to remove. 7 Small glasses filled with jelly will prove to be very acceptable gifts.

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS ARE HOW IN CPERATION cme sts conv Washtigton.—(Spectal,) —Stlident: of financial and economic condition: predict that the postal saving bank: ‘which will soon be itiausurated In the péstoffices throughout tae United States will prove a greater blesslig proportionately speaking, to she color ed people than to any other clasa of people in the United States. ‘This prediction is based upon the fact that the economic statu’ of the masses of the colored people makes them peculiarly the beneficiaries of the opportunitiés for thrift and econ: omy afforded by these banks, Postmaster General Hitchcock is confident that through these banks the habit of saving will be cultivated more than ever among the colored people just as well as it will be among other classes of people for whom the opera- tion of these banks will_moan so much, He {s anxious that the colored people take advantage of the financial oppor- tunities which will come with this new opportunity, = Under the plan devised by tae post- /master general and his assistants, in compliance with the law, savings can be begun in sums as small as 10 cents and format accaunts can be opened in sums as small as $1. This small amount feature will prove popular to the masses of our people, for many of them are not able to make large de- posifs, but will gladly lay aside the small emounts that they can spare from their living expenses. Any person from the little boy or gitl of ten to the man or woman weighted down with many years can have an account in onc of taese postal savings banks, and, what Is most im- portant, Uncle Sam absolutely guar- antees the depositors against loss. If the person wishing to open a de- posit has a dollar or more ho simply goes to the postoffice, turns his money over to the postmaster and receives in liew thereof a certificate of deposit for the amount deposited. The de positer draws mterest at the rate of 2 per cent. per annum. He alo has the rigat to draw out a part of all of his money whenever he pleases, If, howeveh, you have not.as much as a dollar to open a formal account you can for 10 cents purchase from the postmaster! a postal savings card, which will have a’ten-cent postal sav ing stamp in {ts center. Then from time to time the owner of the card can purchase other ten-cent postal sav- ings stamps, whica have mitcllage on one side Ike ordinary postage stamps and stick them on the white card. When the owner of the card bas stuck ten of these stamps on his or her card it is then turned into the postmaster, who will give in return 2 certiteate of deposit for $1. Other adiitions to your account can be made in the same way. As aforesald, tie depositors draw 2 per cent, interest on their money, have the right to with- draw the money out of the bank at willsand are guarantecd against loss by the United States, ‘After having saved up $40 thé de- positor, if be or she desires, can ex- change inis deposit for a United States pond.

Hatcher was “in trouble.” This phrase suggested only one meaning to the Negroes there, for it did not occur to them that fr. Hatcher, who is nor mally a strong, healthy man, was ill; they thought it referred to financial stralts, ‘Taere was a consultation down op the farm, and out of the conference came action, One day Mr. Hatcher's family were surprised to see quite a delegation of country Negroes ap Proaca the house, They entered the yard respectfully, a half-dozen or so in number, walked around the house, entered the rear door,: and sald, through thelr spokesman, that they wanted to see “the ole marster.” The wish was communicated to Mr.’ Hatch- er, who, though ill, told them to enter the sick room, and they filed through the door. 3 ‘Mr. Hatcher was touched to see the “boys” from the farm; for he supposed their visit was purely for the purpose of paying their respects. The spokes- man, Alex Williams, said rather awk- wardly, that they had heard he vas in “trouble,” and not knowing just waat the trouble was had called to see if they could ‘be of any help. Then Williams drew out a hundred dollars in bills, and tendered it-to, him, and the other proffered various things, ranging all the way from money to a chicken, and other farm products. Williams said that he had seven bales of cotton in front of his house and ae would gladly sell tt and turn the money ayer té Mr. Hatcher if he need- od it. Mr. Hatcher was eo touched by the incident that the tears flowed down nis face.

These places -are among the lowest dives in the city and are on the whole, being run by men who have little or no regard for the welfare of the city, but see in this form of -business a wonderful opportunity to get rich quick. They therefore allow every and anything to go on with- in their places of business so long as there is an extra piece of money in sight and as a consequence games of many different kinds, some.of which have no identity with the pool room business, are carried on. They are places of rendezvous for the idle and shiftless and very often the objective points of boys, who have but recent. ly reached their teens, where they mingle with men_ steeped in the world of vice and sin and are gradually led astray only to grow worthless and a disgrace to human- ity. These places are a menact to society and are by no mean: contributing to the welfare of our city. They not only need careful watching by the ‘ity authorities but it would be a God send if the) were ehtirely put out of existence. The message of Mayor Tiedman. while a most praiseworthy .docu ment in general, would hav¢ been much more to the liking o! the Negro portion of the city’: population had it contained amons its many recommendations one ad yising the erection of a new schoo! building for Negro children. Of course this may have been an over- sight on the part of our esteemec mayor, or perhaps he is unaware o! ‘the fact thatthere are between thre and four thousand Negro childrer who hare been crowded out of th -city schools and are crying for ar opportunity to find school accomo dations somewhere. But whether anoyersight or a matter of igno rance, the fact remains only toc clearly that there is a sad lack o school facilities for our Negri boys and girls, and on account o not being able to get places in th city schools, they are for the mos! part running wild in the streets while their parents are out labor. ing hard to make ends meet. I js 4 serious question with us, ir fact it is the all-absorbing one at this juncture of our growth anc we should like to see something done soon to relieve this conditior of affairs, It is from the boys and girls that we expect to get able men and women who will measure up to every requirement and yet how can we hope to sce our youths compete successfully with those of other races if they are denied proper school training. It isa shame, a disgrace and immeasura- bly unfair for us to have to pack our children, like sardines ina box, .into the three and a fraction schools which we have' while ten beautiful structures adorn the streets of the city for the educa. tion of little white boys and girl: whose numerical strength is pro: portionately the same as that o/ Negro children. It is a very poor comparison of the distribution of educational funds and it might be made to look a little better by the addition of one new schoo building to the dilapidated ai. ; unsanitary ones we now possess. —sda>r.

To the Pastor, Officers and Members of Second Baptist church, Greetings: We, your committee appointed, to draft resolutionson the death of Brother Alexander McHiardy as a member, of the church, do hereby submit the fol- lowing: Whereas ithas pleased God in His allwise providence to suffer the tragic and sudden death of our beloved and esteemed brother, Deacon Alexan- der McHardy, and while we deeply de- plore his death, especially the manner in which it came, yet we know that God doeth all things! well and that he has only been called from labor to re- ward. And since He suffered it to be 0, we do accept, in humble submission, His will. Therefore be it resolved; first, that fn the death of brother McHardy. the church has lost a faithful, loyal and true hearted christian, a friend and counsel- ‘or, one who was deeply interested in ‘the Welfare of his church. He had the spin of Christ, being meek and hum- ble. His life was an example worthy of emulation. He will be missed by his absence, and oftimes words of admo- nition and exaltation. Resolved, second; that these resolutions be spread on the face of our minutes and a copy sent to the family, and published in the Savan- nah Tribune. Respectfully yours, Thos. A: Milledge, John W.

RELIGIOUS DUTY-TO THE NEGRG Expressed in terms of selfishness, the main trouble about sitting on’ the other man to hold him down Is thet you cannot get -up to do anything yourself while you are at It, There is no question but that many of the better class of whites In the South haye been among those who have thought it necessary to use re- pressive measures in’ dealing with what we have come to call “The Ne- gro Question.” Moreover, certain re- pressive measures which have been used by the Southern. whites in deal- ing with tae Negro since the war were necessary. The Negro was unfit for the franchise when it was put in his hands. ,In the hour, of his, coming from slaveryshe Was unfit to take {ato his untutored and childish hands’ the Institutions and privileges that a su- perior race had developed only after many, generations of-effort., as Tae pedple whd gave. tho ‘Negro the franchie'and evén took measures ‘to enforce the Negro rulé in the South at the close of the war, now freely admit their terrible blunder, andthe better element of: the Négroes' them selves will admit thet the black man was unfit to perform the functions ot full citizenship when he was given his freedom. The Civil war Is past, slavery is gone, and pobody 1s -more thankful than the Sodthern White peo- ple, albelt we are slow of heart to believe ;all the Self-compl!mentary ex- pressions of some of our Northern frlends as to the ‘oral olévations of the motives which actuated them, as agents {n the hands of Providence in securing freedom for the black man. The war is gone and the more awful reconstruction pericd is Zone. ‘The Negro has not gono; he fs here, ten miliJon strong, to abide perma- nently among the twenty million waite people in the South, It is a situation of the utmost gravity, not paralleled in history, We Southern- ers have grown to knew it from our mothers’ milk. Our every familiarity with ft may lead us to discount its immense significance. Amid many vofces that have spoken, on our, unique situation, there is be- ginning to emerge a volte which we belleve is from God and which gives us good cheer. ‘This message is to the effect that, the Negro problem is a religious problem ratiter than a po- litical or social problem. ‘That is to say, the more thoughtful element among the Christian people ‘of the. South are beginning to see clearly that when we shall appreach the race problem in the spirit of Christianity, and shall deal with it in that spirit, we sapil find a right solution of the great matter which a unique and strong destiny has placed on the shoulders of the South. From 1845 until now Southern Bap- tists have every year reaffirmed thelr sense of obligation for the religious | uplift of the Negro, In the year of the “organization of the convention there was a deal of feeling between the Nortbern and Soutaern wings of the denomination, of which the Negro himself was the innocent occasion, But in that year the convention pass- ed the following resolution: “esol ed, That the board of domestic mis- sions be instructed to take all pru- dent measures for the- religious {n- struction of the colored people.” And in his address to the whole denomina- tion, President W. B. Jcanson' of the, convention sald: “We sympathizd with the Macedonian ery of the sons of Ethfopla among us, who are stretch- , ing forth their hands in supplication for the gospel.” The Southern Baptists lave been faithful in leading the Negro to sal- vation in Jesus Christ; taat is the: chiet reason why more Negroes are members of Baptist churches in the South today than there" are Negro, members of’all other denominations combined.

Thére {s a’ growing con- vietion that the white Christians have a large duty to perform toward this black race that in tae providence of God lives among us. We are coming to realize that we cannot be consis- tent in our missionary endeavor’ any- where If we neglect this peculiar problem at our very doors, Our peo- ple are beginning to feel that we must take hold of this problem in a larger way than we have yet done, The words used at the beginding of ‘this editorial have for Southern people jn this connection a large meaning. if we are going to do our Christian duty to the Negro, we can- not do better than to aid iim towardd the realization of the best of which his race is capable, If we fail to do this, we must inevitably suffer our- selves, If we do lt, the effort we put forth to lift the Negro to things that are better for him, will also be the means of our own advance, The best way to grow in churacter ls to help others to grow. And we eannot choose to help some and ig- = others. We have got to help the people around us, because God holds us responsibje for it and because we will really not help anybody as we our, if we refuse to do it. This helpfulness toward the Negro does not niean that we must open the ballot pox to ignorant and unqualified Negrots, but It does mean that we will sec that the Negro gets exact justice before the laws of our land in his dif- ferences wita whites as well as with Llacks. It does not mean that we must set to work to give free classi- cal education to the Negro youth, but it docs mean that we are ander obli- gation to find out what fs best for the [Negro and in the {car of God to heip| hint to attain the things that are best, for him. | The home board {s particularly ‘glad that Its cooperative work with the National Negro Haptist convention ‘in maintaining thirty-five Negro mis- sionaries and general evangelists in the South is so successful. Still more are we glad that this cooperative work nay become the means of a comipleter ' undetstanding between the Negro} Gapusts and white Baptists. The work Is 20 fully a success and the spirit of both parties of the aranee ment is so manifestly one of mutual confidence, that we feel sure that ts time has arrlvéd when we can witnout difficulty do-a targer work among tac | ‘Negrces than we have yet undertaken. | Dr. 8.

THE TEACHER'S LIFE AND INFLUENCE, Resd at the Natlonal Baptist Sunday Schoo! Congress, at Atlanta, Georgla. By Thomas Young, Clarksdale, Milas. The teacher's life and influence to ward the Sunday sctiool matks one of the highest stages of Sunday school life. Since reality is one of tie most Sought phases in this modern fife, the teacher's life and influence should cccupy the greater sphere of the Sun @ay school circle, The teacher's life should be an example, Example Is one of the most potent of Instructors, though it teaches without a tongue. It is the practical school of mankind, jworking by action which is alwaya more forcible even than words, | ‘The teacher's life should be 80 as to constrain his followers to see a higher light in the Sunday school for every act we do cr word we utter, ae well as every act we witnese or word we hear, carries with it an in- fluence which extends over and gives a color not only to the whole of our future life, but makes ftself felt upon the whole frame of society. We can not tract the influence working itself tno action in the various ramifica tions among our Sunday school {trionds, but be assured that it {s work- ES and makitig an impression which cannot be eradicated, The teacher's life should be of such character a3 to show humanity in its ‘best form, for the crown and glory of fe is character. A teacher niay have comparatively ‘but little culture and slender ability, yet if his character be of sterling worth, he will always command an influence among those with whom he lives. His life should be above re- proach in order to command ‘the re- spect of every one. There are two things in thesphere fn life which must go hand in hand, however contradictory they may seem, manly dependence and manly inde- pendence, or manly reliance and man | ly self-reliance. There are two forms of education; ‘one is self-culture and the other is what he receives from others, To master his logical sphere of Sunday school Ifo, the teacher must possess both, Self-culture {n- cludes the éilucation and training of all parts of a man's nature. The physicaf and moral, as well as the intellectual. All taree must be train- ed and developed to make the real man. His life must be so constrain- ed as to make the humblest member cf his class glad to see him and to really enjoy his instructions. Unless his life and influence have these qual- ities in It, he cannot have a perma. nent and lasting Impression upon his pupils, Above all things, the teacher should be well disciplined and the ‘ab- solute master of himself. He cannot aope to influence others unjess he has the ability of self-control. The humbie teacher may well say, to respect ruyself is to develop myself, for the greatest duties we awe to the great system of society 1s not to de- grade nor destroy the body nor mind. His life should not only be to sup- pres the evil, but to evoke the good elements in his person, When the teacher's life forms a pure epoch, then his Influence in life will be seen like tuat of our greatest teacher, Jesus Uhrist, for the harvest Will be fully ripe.

In my work as a nurse, many skin disease cases came under my observation, and in.every {n- stance, I plways recommended the Cuticura Hemedies as they always gave entire satisfaction. One case in particular was that of 2 lady friend of mine who, when a child, was af- filcted with cczema which covered her face and hands entirely, breaking ‘out atintervals with severer torture. She could not go to school as the disfigure- ment looked terrible. I told her to get at once a set of Cuticura Remedies. After the use of only one set she was perfectly well. “A grown lady friend was afficted with salt rheum In ore of her thumbs, and she was’ cured by the Cutfeura Remedies. Still another lady had dry salt rheum in both palms of her hands every fall of the year. They used to be so painful she could scarcely wet her hands until she began to use the Cuticura Remedies which cured her. T have also seen them cure children of ringworm. ‘The children's faces would be all circles and rings around the cheeks, and the neck ,and after treatmentcwith the Cuticura Soap and Ointment they were completely cured. My husband hed rheumatism on hls arm and I used the Cuticura Olnt- ment. It made his arm as lmber and nice, whereas it was quite stiff before I began to apply the Ointment. “Last May I had an ingrowing toe nail which ‘was very painful, as the side of the nail was edging right down In the side of my toe. I cut the nall out of the’cavity It made, and of course applied the Cuticura Oint- ment to the part affected. It soothed it and in less than ten nights it was all healed through constant use of the Ointment. Ten days ago I had my left hand and wrist burned with boll- Ing lard, and Cuticura Ointment has completely cured them. I have just recommended the Cutfcura Remedies to another friend, and she Is pleased with the results and {a recovering nicely.

An Old Salt Ruminates on Superstition of Those Who go Down to Sea in Ships. The Negro's Contribution From the beginning of things men have gambled. Abraham divided the lands of his children by lot, and his disciples drew lots for the Master's clothing in the shadow of the cross. Historically, the fate of many a nation has been decided on the whim of a woman, which was the gamble of man; people have been plunged into wholesale tragedy on the turn of a card, the throw of the dice. The Peggy Stewart was burned on a gamble that the people of the colonies would support with their life blood the apparent act of vandalism which was a patriotic necessity. Had the whole people refused to indorse the act of that violent Anne Arundel minority, in spirit, if not in form, those who perpetrated it would have swung from the end of a rope. No great business enterprise was ever successfully launched excepting in a spirit of venture, says a writer in the Baltimore Sun. "Nothing venture, nothing have" has come to be a trulism as established as human nature. Not long ago a man invented a commodity, and promoters with faith in his work invested thousands of dollars on the gamble that they would be able to create a market before they were choked by opposition. An existing concern, whose intrest would have been injured by the new commodity, promptly squeezed the new company out of existence and the investors out of pocket. In the lowly language of the dice table the new concern made a good point, but crapped out. If the Frederick county charge to the grand jury goes literally—which it won't—there will be no more chances at church functions, no more wheels at county fairs and no more drawings for charity. Whether or not this would work a social improvement may be a doubtful question. But that such strict interpretations of the law cannot be Women, Cats and Bad Luck An Old Salt Ruminates on S Down to Se "Sailors are the most superstitious people in the world," said an old sailor who was discoursing from his seat upon a rusty anchor to those of the wharf habitues who happenen to be about, says a Bangor special to the New York Times. "Anything they can't understand," went on the speaker, after haying lit his pipe in the face of a stiff breeze, "they explain by magic, or something supernatural. Now, at sea there are many things that no man can understand, and the life, too, makes men superstitious. Let a young fellow who would pooh-hooh the idea of putting off anything until Saturday, or next week because Friday is an unlucky day ship before the mast and inslee of six months he'll be like all the rest of the old salts—full of signs and superstitions about this and that. It must be the influence of the sea; it changes a man, I don't know just how, but it makes him ready to believe in almost anything. I think that one of the beliefs most common among seamen of all classes," went on the speaker, "is the idea that a cat on board ship will cause The Negro's At a recent meeting of the Tuskegee Seminar, W. A. Hazel, of the institute faculty, read a paper on the "Negro's Contribution to American Life." It was a happy and hopeful production, abounding in much thought and even in speech. Mr. Hazel believes that the Negro will contribute something worth while to North American civilization. Among other things he said: "I have sometimes thought that the Negro has been preserved for some high mission, that he may one day render a great service to America and the world. He has gifts which indicate that he may be designed to be the repository of virtues to be held in trust, just as the Hebrew people were made the repository of that spiritual seed which blossomed in the birth of the great Nazarene to the re regeneration of the world; and just as learning and the arts found refuge among the Monks of European monasteries during the middle ages, to come forth with renewed vigor in the great Ren- Japan is building her first homemade locomotives. Mrs. Zoe Andras of Clayton, Mo. has applied for appointment as superintendent of schools to succeed her husband. How to burn smoke, avoid sparks and eliminate combustible matter are requisites of railway locomotive builders in Holland. carried out practically seems to be proved by the experience of all large communities. Behind all laws there must be an approving public opinion; otherwise those laws will not be enforced. And the fact is that the average man is not outraged at the thought of buying a few stocks on margin, or playing the wheel of fortune at Timomium, or investing a dime in a church raffle. If confronted by the proposition that it is not logical to object to the Louisiana lottery or policy playing and then taking a chance on a turkey at Thanksgiving time, he says: "Drat logic." In his inner consciousness he appreciates the fact that there is a happy man in these affairs, to go beyond which whether logical or not, means absurdity. He knows that policy playing is bad and he won't stand for it. His knows that poker playing for high stakes is harmful, but he doesn't see the harm of penny ante. The theory of the thing doesn't bother him. And in regard to the blue laws generally, he is apt to reason this way when he reasons at all: If Jones wants a drink on Sunday let him have it. And If Smith wants to sell Jones the drink, let him sell it. But when Smith is allowed to sell, and Robinson, who keeps the place opposite his, isn't then that's a sign that there's some graft doing and it's time to inquire into it. Or if Smith gets a disorderly crowd, about his place while selling on Sunday he ought to be closed. If Robinson allows the boys to be in his back room and haye a little game, that's all right, but if he gets a regular gambler's outfit and takes a rake-off, then you'd better shut him up. Sooner or later some one is going to get stung in that place. Mixed up in his logic, isn't he, the average man? But, then, even the philosophers are that. Pigs Bring ck, Say Sailormen Superstition of Those Who go ea in Ships. her to meet with gaies. The old saying is that 'a cat carries a gale in her tail,' and the average sailor believes that when a cat frisks about the deck she is raising a storm. The belief that one can whistle up a wind is also pretty generally found among seamen, although those of the younger sort do not believe these things so firmly as do most of the older tars. In my younger days I remember boys having their ears boxed by the captain or the mate who caught them whistling about their duties, and these men thought that if the youngster whistled long enough and loud enough rough weather would result. 'It is curious how sailors dislike a cat and how the name is associated with so many things that are unpleasant to a sailor. The cat-o-nine-tails is well known enough, and no sailor has any love for the gear used in raising the anchor such as the cathead, the cattatall, the cathook, and the catback. The pig seems to be only second to the cat in the bad reputation it has on board ship, and there are some other things which are unlucky. Contribution alssance. Does there appear to be any solid basis for the hope or belief that the Negro will bring any new impulses to bear within the aesthetic domain? If he does not, there must be a radical departure from the patia trodden by all other youthful, not to say primitive peoples, in their development. The history of all such peoples shows that the emotional nature was always the first to press for utterance, and in the effort, created the arts as the medium through which to find expression. The Negro lives close to nature as have all youthful races, for though the black race has a history that runs back of the Pryamids and the Sphinx, and is lost in the shadowy background of Ethiopia, it is essentially a youthful race. Young in that its vigor of body and mind is unimpaired, not yet having realized life. Young because it is misphisticated, and unspoiled by the complex civilization which transforms the natural man into artificial creature." That a calvaryman unhorsed is the most easily cowed? That one can show his temper only after he has lost it? That a contractor should be called upon to expand a house? That no young man ever rose rapidly till he had settled down? That the plow must be soiled before the soil can be plowed? That a susceptible fellow is hardest hit by the softest glances? ANONG THE MASONS. Past Master R. E. Ellison of Tried Stone Lodge No. 189, has the sympathy of the brothren on the death of his beloved wife, which recently occurred. But one thing is permanent, one thing alike defies time and endures throughout eternity, goodness, for goodness is born of God and exists with God. Greatness in man dies with man, but goodness in man is as eternal as his and its Creator.—R. T. W. Duke, Jr., Virginia. Everything in the lodge—its honor, its safety, its reputation—rests upon the force of individual character, and therefore, coming under the tongue of good report, must be given its deepest significance in connection with all petitioners. Oftimes lodges are prone to be too charitable as to the feelings of petitioners. Saying ne's a good fellow and Masonry will straighten him out doesn't work for the upbuilding and strengthening of the craft. Being charitable is a Masonic virtue, but it is better to exercise the charity in straightening out the petitioner before presenting his name, than, in a charitable way, to turn him over to the lodge for character building. We must grasp the fact that a Masonic lodge is not a reformatory.—A. L. Fitzzerald, Nevada. Masons Born, Not Made. Masons are born, not made, says Brother Frederick Speed; and it is unfortunately true that the more degrees conferred upon some men the further they are from attaining the Masonic ideal; the inspiration is lacking and no amount of schooling will supply it. Other men grasp Masonry and cling to it, and their whole being seems to be permeated with it. The husk is necessary to the growth of the ear corn, but it is valueless as food for man. So it is with those who either lack the inclination or the mental capacity to pursue the study of Masonry beneath and beyond the elementary instruction of degrees, however beautiful they may be. The real value which sustains and gives life to Masonry is not to be found in that which covers the ear, but in the ear itself, and unless we search beneath the mere outward shell for the corn which alone gives life and strength we fail to receive the true inspiration.—Voice Review. We have here to do with that form of Masonry alone which always has been and always will be the only universal Masonry known to the world. We are concerned with the preservation of the unblemished reputation of the institution and the inculcation of those lessons which make good men better and guard them from those errors and indiscretions which might cause them to suffer in the eyes of God or man. We may not hope to find any rites or ceremonies, no matter how beautiful in action, how attractive in surroundings and accessories, how bewildering to tue laymen in titles, how multitudinous in degrees, by plunging into which we may acquire an imperishable mental or moral philosophy which is not open to Entered Apprentices. He will find it an ignis fatus who pursues Masonle business, social or moral greatness, through seeking titles or purchasing the highest available number of degrees. All these associations are pleasurable and should receive the support and patronage of Masons, but when agents solicit as men sell merchandise, when medals, exemption from dues and other considerations, are held up like prizes, as an inducement for obtaining petitions, then the operation of zeal has gone beyond the bounds of prudence, and Masonry is vulgarized. — Edward W. Wellington, Grand Master, Kansas. DEATH OF MRS ALICE JAMES. In the death of Mrs. Alice James, which occurred at her home near Sylvania, a short time ago, the A. M. E. church lost one of its best known and most faithful members, she having served as stewardess and treasurer for St. Stephen's church for many years. She was also treasurer for Charity Chapter No. 48, O. A. E. S. She had been suffering from cancer for five months, and when the final summons came she passed without a struggle into the great beyond. Sister James was 83 years old at the time of her death. She is survived by her four children, three sons and one daughter; her husband, Bro. Joseph James, having died in 1909. She was born and reared in Screven county and the sweet influence of her Christian life will live through generation to come. We will all miss her from her accustomed paths in which she has gone in and out among us tuese many years. We will miss her pleasant greeting and the warm pulsations of her generous heart. We will miss her in the church and in the home. She filled well her four-score years. Gbd rest her soul in peace. Points on Sparking.

No extra assessment on the death of members. All endowment and sick benefits paid promptly according to law. No risk to run; no danger of loss to beneficiaries. All officers that handle money under their bond. This order is perfect protection. It is safe, most practical. Prepare for the worst by getting into the great I. B.

It pays when it promises. The cost is the lowest at which you can live in any reliable lodge. We have thousands of letters of high praise and good wishes that we would like to publish, but space will not permit here. Our order is noted for paying of each endowment as soon as proof of death is received. Call on the nearest Deputy and let him explain how you can get this lodge at your home. Men and women wanted everywhere at good wages to organize this order. Address: sitate to have your shoes repaired on account the kind of repairing we do.
