The Savannah Tribune. VOL. XXVI. JUDGE O'GORMAN CHOSEN SENATOR JUDGE O'GORMAN CHOSEN SENATOR Noted New York Jurist Will Succeed Depew. GETS THE INSURGENTS VOTES O'Gorman Made a Fine Record Supreme Bench of New York City--For 30 Years One of Tammany's Best Orators. Albany, N. Y.—By an unanimous vote of 112 of 114 Democratic members of the Legislature, Justice James A. O'Gorman, of New York, was elected United States Senator to fill the vacancy caused by the expiration of the term of Chauncey M. Depew. He is the first Democrat to be sent to the Senate from the Empire State since Edward Murphy was chosen in 1893. Fifteen of the 30 insurgents remained out of the caucus which preceded the election. All of them voted for Justice O'Gorman on joint ballot. When the election was over, like Democrats of old, the insurgents and regulars threw their hats in the air together and agreed to work shoulder to shoulder for the accomplishment of the important measures which have been sldetracked by the Senatorial squabble. Confusion that almost approached disorder and thunderous demonstrations of relief marked the termination of the remarkable deadlock, which has held the Legislature practically at a standstill for 74 days—$10\frac{1}{2}$ weeks. The end of the long, wearing struggle came in the Council room of the City Hall, with the legislators, packed like sardines in a box, and with the Democratic leaders standing by with eagle eye, worried almost to the last for fear their plans for a settlement would at the final moment be unset. A recess has been taken until April 17 to give workmen a chance to repair the damaged Capitol. Meantime the leaders will busy themselves with some of the important administration measures, and it is expected that when the lawmakers reconvene on the day after Easter legislation will be put through with a rush. Governor Dix, whose business administration has been imperiled by the deadlock, has expressed deep relief that the warfare has ceased. His expressions of gratification have found echoes in the statements of practically all the leaders, Republican as well as Democratic. BURNED WATCHMAN FOUND Body Where Fire Was #Fiercest In New York Capitol. Albany, N. Y.—The body of Samuel J. Abbott, the one victim of the State Capitol fire, was found on the fourth floor in the southwest corner of the building, where the flames raged fiercest. It was charred beyond recognition, but identified by means of a watch. A volunteer salvage corps, including officers of the State library and headed by Library Director James L. Wyer, Jr., and N. H. Stokes(Phelps, of New York, continued the search of the debris for valued manuscripts. Mr. Phelps, a man of wealth and leisure, who has specialized in the salvage of manuscripts, reclaimed many old papers from the wreck of the burned Turin library in Italy. The State Library School, regarded as one of the finest in the country, probably will be taken elsewhere the next term begins. The school, to operate, needs a big library, which it will be unable to find here for some time. Offers to accommodate the library have been received from Utica, Syracuse, the Buffalo library and Columbia University. New Way to Produce Paper. Washington, D. C.—Another substance from which paper may be manufactured has been discovered by a manager of a sugar estate at Trinidad, according to Consul Franklin D. Hale, at that place. The new substance is ground sugar cane to which is added bamboo fibre. The combining of these two, the discoverer believes, produces a substance of which the fiber is the right length to make a cheap and excellent paper. He has made paper by this process without the use of chemicals. Year Book Coming Soon. Washington, D. C.—The government's "best sellers," the Agricultural Year Book, is on its way to the public. Half a million copies will be ready for distribution about April 30. It was announced at the Department of Agriculture. BLAME THAT CLOCK! HOUSE (Copyright, 1911) HOUSE SECRET HYSTERICAL FROM THE FIRE STORY Thirty Women Overcome at Memorial Meeting. MANY TAKEN TO HOSPITALS. Recital of Horrors of the Washington Place Fire Affects Many Women at a Meeting in Grand Central Palace. New York.—Thirty, women were removed from a memorial massmeeting for the victims of the Washington Place fire in Grand Central Palace, suffering so terribly from hysteria that ambulance surgeons were called to attend them and to remove some to the hospital. Over 3,000 persons were present at the meeting, mostly women, whose nerves were unstrung by the recital which some of the speakers made of Saturday's fire horror. The meeting was under the auspices of the Shirt-waist and Dressmakers' Union. Arrangements for a funeral demonstration, in which 150,000 sympathizers will be asked to join; identification of four, more bodies, leaving but sixteen now unknown; the swelling of the relief fund to nearly $50,000 and the effort of the district attorney's office and the fire marshal to fix the blame for the catastrophe were the chief events of the day. It is proposed to take the bodies of most of the 143 victims through the streets of the city Monday in a great funeral procession, headed by a chorus of seventy singers from the Jewish Choristers Union followed by the 600 surviving employees of the Triangle Walst Company, and as many sympathizing workers as can be induced to join. It is suggested that the procession pass from the morgue by the Washington Place building where the fire occurred. Twenty-five survivors told their stories of the catastrophe to assistants in the district attorney's office and others appeared before the fire marshal. Dianah Lufschitz told the district attorney that when the fire alarm was first given she signalled "fire, fire-escape" by a writing machine to the girls on the ninth floor, and followed this with a telephone message. Laughter greeted her at the other end of the receiver, she said. In a moment more, she ran and made good her escape. RAILROAD REVENUE DECREASE January Figures Below Those of Same Month in 1910. Washington, D. C.—A summary of the revenues and expenses of all steam railroads in the United States for January, 1911, just issued by the Bureau of Railway Economists, shows, when reduced to a per-mile basis, a decrease with respect both to the returns for the preceding month, and to those for the corresponding month of the previous year. Net operating revenue—that is, total revenues less operating expenses—show a decrease per mile from the figure of January, 1910, of $18, or 7 per cent., and from the figure of December, 1910, of $76, or 25 per cent. Suffrage Bill Killed St. Paul, Minn.—The woman suffrage bill was killed in the State Senate by a vote of 32 to 30. SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, APRIL 8, 1911. SEHRTE THE.WEAK, PREY OF THE STRONG German Chancellor Says Disarmament is Impossible ARBITRATION IS INADEQUATE. Representative of the Emporer Declares Any Conference on Subject of General Disarmament Is Bound to Be Frutless. Berlin. — Ghancellor Von Bethmann-Hollweg, in the Reichstag, discussed disarmament and international arbitration, but without departing one lota from the well-known standpoint of the German government, often declared on former occasions. The imperial chancellor saw the chief difficulty in a disarmament agreement in the impossibility of supervision of individual states. "Control over these," he said, "I regard as absolutely impracticable. The mere attempt to control would have no other result than continual mutual distrust and universal turmoil. General disarmament is an insoluble problem so long as men are men." "It will remain true," continued the Chancellor, "that the weak will be the prey of the strong. If any nation feels that it is unable to spend certain sums for defensive purposes, it will inevitably drop to the second rank. There will always be a stronger one ready to take its place. We Germans in our, exposed situation cannot shut our eyes to this dire reality only so far as we can maintain peace. "The nations, including Germany," said the Chancellor, "have been talking disarmament since the first Hague conference, but neither in Germany nor elsewhere has a practical plan been proposed. Great Britain wishes the limitation of armaments, but simultaneously wants a superior or equal fleet. Any conference on this subject is bound to be fruitless. No standard for a limitation can be found, and any conceivable proposal would be shattered on the question of control." America's Attitude. Count Von Kanitz, conservative, devoted the greater part of his speech to American affairs, contrasting the speech of Commander William S. Sims, of the American Navy, at the Guild Half, London, which called forth a reprimand from President Taft, with the utterances of Congressman Champ Clark concerning the annexation of Canada, saying: "While an American naval officer is assuring England of the friendship of the United States a future president of that nation is talking of the absorption of Canada." Canadian reciprocity, he said, raised the point of what compensatory favors were to be had by Germany. Of the proposed Anglo-American complete arbitration treaty the speaker said that the plan promised little if questions like that of the Monroe Doctrine were excluded. 11,488 DIED IN MONTH Plague's Terrible Work Reported to Washington. Washington, D. C.—The plague is declimating Northern Manchuria, according to advises received from Harbin by the State Department. At the end of February 6,483 deaths had occurred in Harbin alone. In one region in Manchuria 5,000 deaths occurred in February. END OF REVOLT IN SIGHT Reves to Return and Lead the Federal Forces-Diaz Government Yielding. Washington, D., C.-Advices received here from the City of Mexico go far toward clearing up the obscurity that has surrounded the situation in the southern republic. They make it apparent that the Diaz government, has pretty completely yielded to the more moderate element, and that the Limantour-De La Barra Cabinet that is coming into power is to be given opportunity to compose differences in the country, and that the Madero family may be brought into co-operation in this effort. The most important indication of this purpose is the definite announcement that General Reyes is to come home from France, and that he will not enter the Cabinet. He will, instead, take charge of military operations for the Government in Northern Mexico, the seat of the most alarming disturbances. Reyes is in many ways the most potent personal force with the Mexican people. He possesses at once the affection of the army and the confidence of the people. There are those who insist that if he takes command of the Federal forces the Maderists will to a considerable force desert the revolutionary standard. Nothing could better demonstrate the obscuration of the old Diaz methods than the return of Reyes. Suggestive of the possible developments is the insistent report that De la Barra, on his way to Mexico City, will confer with Francesco I. Madero, probably at some place on the Mexican border. De la Barra conferred in New York with the head of the Madero family, the father of Francesco; there is every reason to believe that negotiations of much significance are actually in progress between the Maderos and the new leaders. President Taft's purpose in sending the American troops to the border is becoming clearer with each day's events, and it is growing apparent that the moral effect of that move is largely responsible for the establishment of a compromise regime that may yet restore peace to the country. FIRE VICTIMS NUMBER 144 Sixteen-year-old Girl Who Jumped From the Ash Building Is Last to Die. New York.—The death of Sarah Kupla, 16-year-old girl, who jumped from the eighth floor of the Asch building during the recent fire horror, brought the list of victims up to a total of 144. The girl's back was broken and she had been unconscious ever since the fatal leap. The identification of another girl's body by a strange arrangement of buttons on her shoe brought the list of unnamed down to 14. There seems little chance of further identification and the Chartties Board has made arrangements to bury them in the cemetery of the Evergreens in a plot owned by the city. Assistants of the district attorney's office and Fire Marshal Beers, who are conducting investigations into the disaster, besides visiting the Asch Building, further examined survivors. Contributions to the relief fund amounts to more than $58,000. An aged woman who said she was the mother of Annie Colletti, one of the fire victims, told the coroner that when her daughter's body was returned from the morgue for burial $1,600 which she says the young woman had sewed in her skirt was missing. She explained that her daughter was afraid to trust banks and always carried large sums of money on her person. $500,000,000 IN COMBINE 20 Coal Compathes Form a Selling Agency. Pittsburg.—A combination of 20 companies, with a capitalization of $500,000,000, is being formed here to be the selling agency of the principal bituminous coal corporations in this section. The preliminary organization has already been completed with G. J. Gams, of Uniontown, Pa., as temporary chairman. The concern will be known as the United States Coal Exchange. R. E. PEARY RETIRED Commissioned Admiral and Placed on Retired List Washington, D. C.—Robert E. Peary was commissioned a rear admiral by the Navy $ _{2} $ Department, and placed upon the retired list. His commission dates back to April 6, 1909, the day on which he discovered the North Pole. ROOSEVELT'S ADVICE TO NEGRO Colonel Roosevelt addressed an audience of negroes completely filling the Central Avenue A. M. church, in Atlanta, laid especial stress upon the need of vocational training among the colored people of the south, and called attention to the benefits that both races would derive if the vast army of colored farmers throughout the country should have the proper agricultural instruction. In his remarks the colonel mentioned Clark university as a type of the schools that are doing a cast amount of good in this direction. Rev. J. A. Rush, pastor of the church, introduced J. W. E. Bowen, professor of historical theology in Gammon Theological seminary, who had been chosen to present Colonel Roosevelt. Professor Bowen concluded with a few words of presentation, and, amid a storm of applause, Colonel Roosevelt arose to respond. Colonel Roosevelt's address follows, in part: "It is great pleasure for me to be here this afternoon and speak to you. When Doctor Ruch gave me the invitation I thought that it was a duty and a pleasure that I could not forego. In regard to what Professor Bowen has just said, I want to repeat to you what I have been preaching wherever I have gone and that an ounce of effort is worth a ton of whine. "As has just been said, there has been a vast improvement in the Negro race. When I was recently in Africa I met two educated Negroes from the United States—one a doctor and one an agriculturalist, and looking at them made me think of the great difference between them and the native savages. It was an incident that illustrated the progress made by your people in America. Sis Henry Johnston has told me that the Negro has a better chance in America than anywhere else. "There are two things that I want you to realize: First, that you have made much progress; and, second, that you have a great deal further to go. I want you to realize the first, so that you may feel encouraged. I want you to realize the second, so that you may not get conceived. This would be the worst thing that could happen. "Remember that you are citizens of America. I want to impress upon the citizens of one color as I have been impressing it upon citizens of another color—that, what you say of yourselves does not count, but what you do. As soon as we have a respectable Negro cultivating a little farm intelligently, and owning his own beasts, we have a good citizen. "A Negro criminal, no matter at whose expense he commits the crime, does infinitely more harm to the blacks than to the whites. On the other hand, the law-abiding, self-respecting Negro faithfully doing his work, is a center of law-abiding influence. He is the best possible antisite to lawlessness. It is to the interests of everybody in this country when anybody moves up. The Negro has nothing to fear from the respectable white, who realizes this." Colonel Roosevelt then spoke of the modern trend of education toward vocational training, and told of the advantages that would accrue to the Negro race from this, especially always be specialized education for certain individuals who are to carry on the professions, he said, but the great call is for trained farmers and mechanicians. "The agricultural college," he continued, "is one of the best influences at work in the country today. A great deal of alarm has been shown when cities grow at the expense of the country. This is bad for the whites, but infinitely worse for the Negroes. I have seen too many sons of respec- GUPID COMMERCIALIZED Even Cupid has become commercialized. Instead of shooting joyful little arrows into willing hearts, he now has turned pedler, and sells bank accounts: and fathers-in-law—all on a "sound commercial basis." Moreover, this distressing state of affairs is not in "vulgar, materialistic America," but in stald old London. At least one introspective soul writing for a London paper has been made to realize the degeneracy of Cupid through the news of the establishment of an "eligible club," where men and maids find partners for the business of life. No fewer than 500 marriages, it is said, have resulted therefrom, and the writer walls that "it is all quite simple and quite sordid. Romeo writes down his qualifications in a bulky ledger. Juliet notes that Romeo has written opposite his name 'good income.' Romeo incidentally observes that Juliet, in addition to being 'a good bridge player,' has 'private means. Hey, Presto! with such good begin- ADVICE TO NEGRO table farmers move to the city to be come worthless loafers. "It is for this reason that I have taken such interest In Clark university, which is doing excellent work along this line. It is for the good of both the whites and the blacks that the Negroes should be competent farmers." Reviewing the condition of the Negro farmer in Georgia, Colonel Roosevelt said that there werg between 250,000 and 300,000 illiterate farmers in the state, 72,000 tenants constantly moving, and 18,000 who know nothing about diversified farming. "It is this condition," he said, "that Clark university, through its agricultural department, is trying to meet; and it is as much to the interests of the whites as of the blacks that this should be done. "Seventy-five per cent of the colored race here are farmers. It is essential therefore, that these men should have agricultural training, although I do not mean to say that the other 25 per cent should not have training along other lines. "I believe that a better day for the Negroes is at hand. I do not mean by that that the millennium is just ahead, for there will be bitter disappointments and setbacks. The Negro is working harder for advancement than he ever worked before, and the white man who is his neighbor is waking to the fact that it is not only his duty, but to his own interests to make the Negro a better citizen. "The Negro should remember that the good will of his white neighbor is of inestimable value to him. It is the white man of the south that he must get along with, and it is from him that he must win respect by showing that he is entitled to it because he has won it." AT THE KITCHEN DOOR. She is not rich, she is not poor The maiden I saw at the kitchen door A winged seraph would have envied the scene As I was greeted by this little queen; The air was resonant with the songs of birds And I passed every leaf stirred; All nature seemed wide awake, For no other purpose than her dear sake. No garden of roses has sweet an air As the fragrance from this maiden fair An emblem of love and duty combined A dream of fairies and romances entwined. To pass, nay, who would not tarry. To be enchanted with this little fairy? As a soul is made purer after it passes, Strarge the world about me lies, N e e: yet familiar grown— Still-disturbs me with surprise, Haunts me like a face half known. In this house with starry dome, Floored with gemlike plains and seas, Shall I never be at home, Never wholly be at ease? On from room to room I stray, Yet my Host can nee'er esp. And I know not to this day Whether guest or captive I. So, between the starry dome And the floor of plains and seas, I have never felt at home; Never wholly been at ease. nings one may reasonably feel the fragrance of orange blossoms and hear the chiming of wedding bells." Blance mange formed into the shape of nowballs looks very pretty served on a bed of pale pink or green jelly and then ornamented with whipped cream. Lord North and the Opera. "Is there a public for opera?" asks The London Chronicle. The Lord Norths among us may be in the majority. For no one could accuse Lord North of a love for music. Geogre Ill, for instance, on one occasion, tried to persuade him to attend the "ancient music" concerts which his majesty was then patronizing. But no. North refused most emphatically. His majesty protested: "Your brother, the bishop, never misses them," he said. "Sir," was North's rejoinder, "if I were as deaf as my brother, the bishop, I would never miss them either." NO.29. Jep. C. Tatum/ —William Watson. The Farm FOR THE AMERICAN HEN. There can be no doubt that the hen deserves all the fame she has received, and all the good newspaper space that is allotted her. Whatever concerns the American hen concerns the great American public. The other day the United States court of Customs Appeals, a sort of glorified legal lexicon, decided that a hen is not a bird. The hen has feathers, it flies, it sings, but it mustn't be classed with canaries, and wrens, and snarrows and tomitls. Of course and this decision wasn't drawn out by any chance seeker for knowledge. It was the result of an important official appeal. Eggs imported from China—which differ materially from china eggs—are usually broken out of the shell and frozen. The customs officials declared that these eggs entered into competition with duty on them of 5 cents a dozen. The importers insisted that the eggs were entitled to admission free as birds' eggs, in accordance with a certain section of the tariff. They also contended that the eggs were albumen and only dultable as such. But when the question reached the five judges of the court of appeals, they nobly took the side of the American 'hen, declaring that the Oriental product was a competitor that hens' eggs are not birds' eggs, and that the duty leaved by the customs is plenty of provocation in this decision for a jubilant cackle. NEW KIND OF CROP INSURANCE. An Ohio bulletin tells how one farmer insures himself against loss of his melon crop by planting another crop on the same grojndi! For three years his melons had been damaged by an attack of a small larva which burrows in the root and causes the plant to die. A seven-acre field was almost completely ruined in this way this year. Experience in former years with this lava, which it is suspected may be that of the striped cucumber bug, caused him to "take out this insurance." Two rows of late cabbage are planted between each two rows of mellons, these to be removed if the melons escaped destruction. This proved particularly cheap insurance last year, as nearly the entire crop of mellons was destroyed and the late cabbage did fine. CULTIVATION OF OLD TREES. At the last meeting of the Western State Horticultural Society the question was orchards close about the trees. Are the large roots near the trunk feeding roots, or are they simply developed to support the tree? If the latter purpose and not the former is the reason, why not leave a small area about the base of these old trees untouched. The cost of cultivation would be almost cut in two by eliminating the effort needed to crowd the implements close to the trunks of the trees. If the function of these roots can be determined a great deal of work can be saved the busy orchardist. Will some of our speculative Michigan fruit man investigate the matter this coming summer and let us know next fall?—Michigan Farmer, FARMING IN JAPAN. Of Japan's 450,,0, people, 30, 900,000 are farmers. The whole body is supported by a cultivated area of but 19,000 square miles. Every foot of soil is utilized; the farmer is a specialist. DAIRY NOTES. On many dairy farms the production of meat can be made a profitable side line. Giving milk is the natural function of the dairy cow, but this function can be stimulated only by proper feed and care. In dairying there is usually a large quantity of skim milk or butter milk which may be utilized to furnish a considerable part of the poultry tation. The heifer carrying her first calf should be well fed and otherwise well cared for. The dairy heifer may, and should be, bred sooner than the heifer of a beef breed. Producing what the consumer wants and putting it on the market in an attractive form are two of the secrets of successful dairying. Where milk or butter is produced there is decided advantage in raising the calf by hand. Good feed, and exercise, must go Good feed and exercise must go together. An uncomfortable, (suffering) pig cannot be a profitable one. The best dairy herds are the product of long, careful selection and breeding. It isn't much use to keep cows that milk hard. You can find just as good ones that milk by man-power and not four horse-power. POULTRY POINTERS. One of the conditions of the poultryman is to find the difference between hens. And after a chicken is about half grown it is surprising what a lot they can eat. HAVE A PLACE FOR HARNESS. One of the greatest factors in lengthening the time of service of a harness is to have a good place to keep it. Fully 75 per cent of the farm harness in use is hung up on hooks just back of the horse stalls Now, to a certain extent, that is handy enough for most of us, but it really takes, very little time to hang a harness where it will be out of the dust, grime, grease and dirt. Very few farm harnesses are oiled more than once a year, and it is seldom that they are cleaned when they are not greased at the same time. Thus when this dirt soaks in the harness for months at a time it is up to us to see that as little as possible of it ever gets on the harness. A harness room is really the only sane solution of the problem. They do not cost much, for they do not have to be so very large. You can inclose an old unused bin and I have seen a very great number which have simply been built as additions upon the back ends of the barn with the stable opening directly out upon them. FOR FATTENING HORSES. A mixed grain ration of corn and oats, when fed with clover hay, is more valuable than a single grain ration of corn for producing large gains in horses. Clover hay, when fed with a mixed grain ration of corn and oats, is worth about twice as much for producing gains as timothy. Exercise has a retarding effect on the taking on of flesh. In preparing horses for show or market they do better if confined to the stall during the feeding period. Box stalls are safer for fattening horses than single stalls, but the difference in cost is hardly worth while, for with ordinary care horses can be fattened to just as good advantage when tied in single stalls as when confined in box stalls.—Agricultural Eptomist. WORLD'S NEXT WHEAT MARKET. It is entirely likely that Siberia will be the world's wheat market of the future. This country enjoyed the distinction, but as the scientific culture of the grain enabled the growers to move farther north, the belt was extended into Canada, so that that country shares to a great degree in the product. Thus it was discovered that the corresponding latitudes of Russia were suited for wheat growing and the size of the crop in that country has grown in the czar's country has outstripped that of our own as far as quantity is concerned. This fact is particularly significant; when it is realized that Russia is a rye-eating country. While American methods largely enter into the cultivation of this crop by the Muskovites American machinery is also largely used. PREFERS CORN LAND FOR OATS. I prefer corn land for sowing oats. Plow one way with the cultivator, sow oats broadcast, then plow the other way with the cultivator. Follow with harrow, then with a drag, and the work is done. This is the method by which I have always obtained the best results. I sowed some this way last year, and can safely say they yielded me sixty bushels per acre. Some sown on ground that I plowed with a breaking plow, then sowed broadcast, harrowed in, then followed with a drag did not yield mor than half as much.—W. F. Meyer, R. F. D. 3, Owensville, Mo. PLOWING WITH DYNAMITE. A North Carolina farmer, discovering that the heavy clay subsoll of his farm could not be broken up with the plow to sufficient depth for proper retention of moisture and fertilizing elements, has resorted to the novel expedient of blowing up whole fields with dynamite. Observing that the growth of grain was much richer than elsewhere over spots where stumps had been pulled or dug out of the ground, and the earth stirred to the depth of several feet, he drew the conclusion that similar deep disturbances of any sort would produce results. He therefore literally "plowed" his land with dynamite, and has secured an increase of growth that more than justifies the cost of labor. His watermelon crop, for instance, benefited over 30 per cent by the innovation. FARM NOTES. Brood sows expected to produce two litters of pigs a year must not only be fed liberally while they are nursing the pigs, but must also be well fed while they are prognant. Pumpkins make a splendid feed, and how cheap they are! Nothing will ratten shoats quicker, in connection with a bit of soft corn, and nothing will so thoroughly and efficaciously rid them of worms. It is generally appreciated among stock owners, that in order to obtain the most profit from sheep husbandry stock must be kept that will produce a maximum quality and quantity of both wool and mutton. The farmer with a new buggy used to be the envied man of the neighborhood, but now the one with the automobile isn't so important. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON ASSAULTED IN NEW YORK BOOKER T. WASHINGTON ASSAULTED IN NEW YORK WHITE MAN ATTACKED WELL KNOWN EDUCATOR IN THE METROPOLIS. NOTED NEGRO DID NO WRONG Doctor Washington Is Offered Aid by Many Prominent White New York.—(Special.)—Many prominent men offered aid and sympathy to Booker T. Washington, the Negro educator, whose bandaged head is mending fast from cuts and which he charges were inflicted by Albert Ulrich, a carpenter, and dog fancier, during an encounter. Many sympathetic telegrams from every section of the United States and telephone calls were received by Doctor Washington, while score of persons called at the hotel, according to his secretary. Andrew Carnegie telephoned, he said, offering any assistance that Doctor Washington might wish to command. George Foster Peabody, the banker, made a similar offer. Seth Low, president of the board of trustees of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial institute, conferred at length with the educator. Together they prepared a statement which Mr. Low later made public, rehearsing Doctor Washington's version of affair and pledging the support and aid of Mr. Low's colleagues on the board to the educator. Doctor Washington came to New York intending to spend several days here. He said he would remain as long as necessary to prosecute the case, but hopes to return to Tuskegee within a few days. President Seth Low of the board of trustees of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial institute, gave out the following statement bearing on the assault of Booker T. Washington: "The facts are; Doctor Washington reached New York from Michigan. He spoke at the Mount Olivet Baptist church at the Church of the Pilgrims, Brooklyn. In the evening about nine o'clock he started out to find Mr. Smith, a certified public accountant, who is auditor of the Tuskegee institute, a white man whom he expected to find staying with friends at 11 1-2 West Sixty-Third street. This is an apartment house of the type occupied by different families on different floors whose names appear with bells on an index below. "When Doctor Washington first reached the house he entered the vestibule and could get no reply to the bell he rang, and so he moved up and down the street and around the neighbor boring block where the New Theater stands, and returned to the house twice, each time entering the vestibule, but not the house. "On his third visit he entered the vestibule and was leaning over to try to find the name he was looking for, when suddenly a man rushed in from the street and began to assault him. He defended himself and got out into the street when a second man with a stick struck him. Then he tried to escape, when both he and the first one of his assailants were taken to the station house by a policeman who met them. From the time Doctor Washington left the hotel until the time of the assault he spoke to one, neither man nor woman. The trustee of the Tuskegee institute have absolute confidence in Doctor Washington, and they will give to him whatever support and aid he needs." The foregoing statement of Doctor Low was to read to District Attorney Whitman before it was made public. NAMED ASSOCIATE JUSTICE. T. McCant Stewart Appointed a Member of the Supreme Court of Liberla. New York.—(Special.)—T. McCant Stewart, former.New Yorker, has been appointed an associate justice of the supreme court of Liberia. Mr. Stewart practiced law in New York for many years, and was at one time a member of the board of education of Brooklyn. The new associate justice has been codifying the laws of the African republic for the last three years and has lived in Liberia seven years. He is the only American on the supreme court bench, and his appointment by President Barclay of Liberia is regarded as an effort to encourage investors by the assurance that their rights will be guaranteed under the law. Mr. Stewart, who was graduated at Princeton university, has written several law books. He is about sixty years' old. PROVERBS AND PHRASES. Property has its duties as well as its rights.—Thomas Drummond. But evil is wrought by want of thought, God the first garden made, and the first city, Cain—Cowley. 'Happy the people whose annals are blank in history books—Carlyle. In Will of Late Massachusetts Millionaire Atlanta School Is Given $25,000. Willesley, Mass.—(Special.)—The will of Alice Marion Curtis, mission alre, was allowed by Judge Chamberlain in Norfolk probate court. Public bequests in the will are New England institutions for women and children, $20,000; the town of Hanover, Mass., $15,000; Radcliffe college and Museum of Fine Arts, $25,000; each for public libraries at Tuskegee, Ala., Hampton, Va., and, Atlanta university, and the Massachusetts Society for the Precension of Cruelty to Animals, and the Women's Educational and Industrial union, and other Alabama, Virginia and Georgian institutions, $5,000 each. The undisposed principal of the $50,000 trust fund will be equally divided between Radcliffe, Hanover library, New England hospital on the death of Olivia Y. Bowditch, of Milton, and Sarah J. F. Johnson, of Boston. Toe first Presbyterian church of Brookline, is the benefactor in the will of Annese Edger, of Brookline, to the amount of $2,700.

IS LEWIS A PHILANTHROPIST? If He Takes the Job as a Recess Appointment He Gets No Pay Till Confirmed. Boston.—(Special.—To what extent William H. Lewis, the Negro lawyer from Boston, named to be an assistant attorney general in the department of justice, is a philanthropist will be determined during the recess of congress. After rumors of his appointment dating from two weeks before election day, the president sent the name of Lewis to the senate a few days before it adjourned. It was not confirmed. Since the vacancy due to the resignation of John G. Thompson took place before the adjournment of congress, Mr. Lewis must serve until confirmed without salary, if at all. He has not reported for duty at the department. The salary of his office is $5,000.—Boston Transcript. Chaffing Reggy. "What's the matter with Reggy?"

C., WAS STARTED WITH $10,00. WHITE CITIZENS ENCOURAGE White Citizen Says School Is Worth $100,000 to the City of Winton. Winton, N. C.—(Special.)—Many years ago this was a poor country village and the Negro population did not have the environments which would make them a wholesome factor in the activities of the community. During the summer of 1884, there came to this community a young man, a graduate from the college department of Shaw university. Doctor Tupper, the founder of this great university saw the needs of the people in Hertford county, of which this town is the county seat, and commanded Dr. C. S. Brown to come to this town and build a school, where educational facilities were sadly neglected. Doctor Tupper gave Doctor Brown $10, which caused him to interrogate the note educator as follows: "Are you serious Mr. President? What can be done with $10?" The president replied, "It is exactly $10 more than I had when I came to Raleigh after the war and began to build this great institution." Young Brown decided to go and after his first visit to the town he found that he had a vexatious proposition, so he returned to Doctor Tupper, to receive another command which was, "Be a man, stay!" Because of this command today the citizens of this section of the state which is a tribute to the founder of Shaw university, and Doctor Brown, its principal and factor in the higher development of his race. The influence of this educational work is felt throughout the state. Today the majority of the Afro-American residents heer own comfortable homes with well kept yards and beautiful gardens and they are imbued with civic pride. They are thrifty and prosperous and they are interested in a number of fraternal, religious and educational movements which show them to be splendid citizens. This excellent condition is due to the work of the school. Rev. Charles T. White, D. D., LL D., who resigned the presidency of Colby university, Maine, to accept the present position as assistant secretary of the American Baptist Missionary Society, in addressing an audience in the North in part, said: "A long story is briefly told when we remember that the school," referring to Doctor Brown's institution, "has been built and that $10 was the first of many offerings which made possible its fruitful growth. There hundreds of students are in attendance. Many of them go to higher institutions to complete their education and to become lawyers, physicians, teachers, bankers and ministers to their race. The principal of whom we are speaking was offered a very large salary a few years since, but declined that he might serve his people in a humble capacity. He now presides over school of 200 pupils." He continued by saying: "It you should take a ride of 20 miles from this school and return, you would find that most of the land is owned today by negroes, and they live in comfortable houses. This school not only sends forth boys and girls each year to become the leaders of their people, but also prepares the greater number who stay on the farm and become intelligent tillers of the soil. With rare exceptions these pupils become active and earnest Christians in the rural districts and city churches Doctor Brown is an untiring worker among his rural neighbors. He is a graduate of this college and theological departments of Shaw university and since has received the degrees of A. M., and D. D. He has toured Europe twice and traveled extensively in this country and Canada. His ability and gane leadership has made him one of the race's most conservative and progressive leaders, and he is regarded as a deep thinker and a forcible speaker. His utterances are such that thousands of couples of his speeches have been printed and distributed through the country. He is correspondenting secretary of the Baptist State Convention; president of the Lott Carey Baptist Foreign Mission convention, which is one of the most influential religious bodies in the race; secretary of the Grand Lodge of Masons for North Carolina besidesilling his pastoral duties. The man who has a place for every thing thinks his wife ought to stay at home. Prejudice will never look reason in the face. Clocks do a lot of soldiering—they mark time If a fact is too maternal it is apt to be distorted. A cheerful spirit will lighten the load of any burden. Selfish motives have a way of getting a strangle hold on conscience. Some men allevate pain by laying on of hands, while others inflict it on that way. Satan is blamed for many things he would not stoop to do. Every time some men get blue they want to paint the town red. Imagination is the imp that tempts men to attempt to deceive their rivals. WIT and HUMOR A Product of Peru. One day in the course of study the teacher had occasion to give a description of the republic of Peru. After describing its natural features, people, commerce, industries, produces, etc., he gave his class a test to find out how much they remembered of what he had told them. Having received satisfactory replies to a number of his questions, he asked: "Now, who can tell me what the principal products of Peru are?" Instantly there came from somewhere in the rear of the room the answer: "Prunes."—Philadelphia Record. A Gay Deceler. The spring, Flirtatious thing, Toys daily with us now.

China has, however, now organized a navy department and intends to carry out a construction programme to be completed in seven years. The programme includes the building of eight first-class battleships, over twenty cruisers and twenty gunboats, the organization of four naval ports at a total cost of 158,450,000 tails.

WHALING ON PACIFIC COAST Importance of Cetacean of Western Ocean Now Recognized and He Will Be Pursued. A large whaling station is to be erected at Sanford Point on Grays harbor by the owners of the two stations now in operation on the west coast of Vancouver island. The common North Pacific whale has been loafing around the waters adjacent to Oregon, Washington and British Columbia since the days of Jonah, but it is only in recent years that his value has appealed to man. Inasmuch as this species of whale attracted no attention when hundreds of Massachusetts whalers were chasing the sperm whales in the far north it is perhaps eminently proper that the industry as now carried on should be entirely devoid of the romance and excitement that attended the chase of sperm whales. The modern whaling steamer with bomb guns and other modern equipment goes out from a station, the whale is killed and the carcass is towed in and converted into oil with a total absence of any of the features that attended the killing and trying out process in the old days.—Portland Oregonian. RENOVATOR FOR OLD OAK. Everybody nowadays knows that to secure a bright polish on an old oak chest or table there is nothing to equal elbow grease. In our grandmothers' days, however, it was elbow grease plus one of their wonderful and efficacious home-made mixtures. Half a pint each of malt vinegar and raw linseed oil were mixed with a couple of drams of butter of antimony. This formed a polish which, after a good shaking, could be rubbed on the old wood without fear of spoiling the color, while it brought about a bright and glistening result, far less smeary than the warm beer which was the old-fashioned farmhouse renovator for old oak. DELONGED THERE SOMEWHERE "Does a man named Jones room here?" This question was put to a lady at a home on Peachtree street when she had been summoned to the door by a timid ringing of the bell. The inquirer was very earnest, but as much as she would have liked to oblige him the lady was forced to answer him in the negative. "Thank, you, ma'am," he replied defectedly, and then continued: "You see, I'm Jones. I come from Comer, Ga., and I don't know where I live. I've got a room somewhere right along here, but somehow I can't just seem to locate the thing." A stranger finally helped him find his room—Atlanta Constitution. RABBITS DESTROYING TREES. The farmers and fruit growers in the surrounding country have decided to wrap the walnut trees with strong rubber covering to keep the jackrabbits from ruining them. John B. Stump, who owns a 300-acre walnut orchard two miles west of this city, reports that the rabbits have kept the leaves so closely trimmed that the trees are not allowed to gain much headway.—Montmouth, correspondence Portland Oregonian That Is the Latest Amusement in Berlin Society and Affords the Guests Much Pleasure. Cinematograph parties are the latest amusement in Berlin society. Guests are shown on the screen secretly taking cinematograph records of themselves riding and walking or standing about, laughing and chatting in places where smart people congregate. The victim's gayety is often somewhat forced when an awkward gesture or an idiotic grin is all too faithfully reproduced on the screen, but he consoles himself with the hope that the next film may give him a chance of poking fun at his neighbor. Another development of the idea is to have one's domestic joys, such as marriages and christenings, cinematographed and the films presented to friends. A wedding that took place last week was cinematographed from beginning to end, including the drive to the church and back to the bride's house. Copies of the films were sent to relatives of the family in Australia, China and India. SECRETS She—Why, she's told almost everybody. CURIOUS PRACTICE Robert Dulwich, who has traveled extensively in the lesser known regions of the Himalaya, gives an interesting account of a native sect known as the Tharys, who have some curious practices. The sect are worshipers of the goddess Kali. They believe either in self-destruction or in the sacrifice of one of their fingers to appease the deity. Thus it comes about that when the oldest member of a family is married the unhappy mother is expected to cut off the first two joints of the last two fingers of her hand. Princesses and other smart people in this remarkable sect are allowed to offer a substitute of finger joints, modeled in gold—Eastern World. QUEEN HAS TACT. Queen Elizabeth of the Belgians, a woman of rare tact and intelligence, is appealing to her people in a manner which is doing much to endear her to them. She lends her energies to King Albert's efforts to remove the dark stain caused by Leopold's countenance of the Congo atrocities. Her last birthday was generally celebrated as Rose day, and the sale of the queen's birthday roses realized $20,000, which was given to the tuberculosis relief fund. On her next birthday the edelweiss will be substituted for the rose, and the proceeds from its sale will be devoted to combating the sleeping sickness in the Congo. CURB ON STUDENTS. Chinese students in America have been told by the Kioun-ki-tch'on, the imperial council that stands'next to the person of the infant emperor and governs the empire, that they need not send any more telegrams from New York and elsewhere in the United States advising that body how to run the government in Peking. It has also been announced by that august cabinet in an official proclamation for distribution through the middle kingdom that a student's only task is to study what the western civilization has to teach. EXIT PEACE. "We'll have little peace in the home from now on." "What's the matter?" "Pa's started to talk baseball again." Something About the Tiny Republics of Andorra and San Marino and Principality of Liechtenstein. It is usually supposed that Monaco is the smallest independent state in Europe, but as a matter of fact there are three states that are still smaller. It is also a matter of common belief that France, Switzerland and Portugal are the only republics in Europe, but there are two others, the republics of Andorra and San Marino. These two republics and the principality of Liechtenstein are all of them smaller than Monaco and they all claim to be autonomous and independent. Liechtenstein is crowded away between Austria and Switzerland, and it used to have a tiny army of its own, but this was abolished for fear some one might want to fight with it. Austria keeps a benevolent eye upon Liechtenstein, while France performs a similar paternal function toward Andorra, which is in the eastern Pyrenees, but San Marino looks after her own territory, 33 square miles in extent, without foreign aid. The people of San Marino are as proud of their glorious republic and of its enlightened institutions as republicans anywhere else. San Marino has an army of 1,000 men and these one thousand men have been found amply sufficient to keep at bay the predatory hordes of military Europe. GERMANS OUTDO CHINESE Cleverly Imitate Embossed Jewelry of Orientals and Even Make a Wonderful Bogus Jade. The power of German imitation is strikingly exemplified in a recent creation of jewelry embossed with Chinese characters signifying "tonggevity" and "good luck," heretofore exclusively manufactured by the leading Chinese firms of Canton and Hongkong, consisting of cuff links, watch fobs, cravat pins, brooches and other articles. The German creation is of superior workmanship, although the grade of gold is greatly inferior, the German standard being but 14 carats, while that of the Chinese runs from 18 to 24 carats. The German manufacturers have outdone themselves in the creation of stone in actual representation of the jade stone of China. I am informed by a jeweler that the German article so closely represents the genuine Chinese jade that dealers themselves can be deceived. The leading Chinese houses are about to substitute these imitation stones in their mountings and it behooves Oriental travelers to remember this when purchasing jade ornaments.—Consular and Trade Reports. UNFORTUNATE SIGN. Two gentlemen were talking when a seedy individual came up and spoke to one of them. After he had gone, the gentleman said to his friend: "That's a brother of mine, and about the most unfortunate fellow in the world. I have set him up in business three times. The last time I bought a pork shop business for him in a place called Barking. After a few weeks he wrote and said the business had all dropped off. Would I come up? I went, and the first thing that caught my eye was a ticket in the window inviting the public to 'Try Our Barking Sausages.'" RELIGIOUS HOUSES OF BELGIUM. The recent census of Belgium shows that mortmain is not a dead letter there. Since the last return the number of monks has increased by three per cent, while the congregations of women show an augmentation of 15 per cent. At the present time there are 1983 monks of different orders in the kingdom and 16,870 nuns. Of recent years the property of the religious houses has increased enormously, in consequence of the accession of numbers of young ladies, daughters of rich parents. It may be added that the population is 6,524,372, of which two-thirds are Roman Catholics. KICKED WHEN DOWN. "He has lost everything he had that was worth anything." "He hasn't lost his life."

WAITER LONGED TO TRAVEL Began Collecting Funds From Diners for European Trip and Got Only to Police Court. "I have just come from prosecuting a waiter who was trying to practice hold-up methods in this hotel," said the manager of a big uptown hotel. "We had a dinner here the other night for which we had to hire one hundred waiters. We paid them $2.50 for about an hour's work and considered that plenty. "But after dinner one of these waiters began to pass a plate, telling diners that he was about to make a trip to Europe. He had collected $5 or $6 when one of the head waiters discovered him and threatened to have him thrown downstairs if he did not get out. The other waiters later had our head waiter arrested. In the courtroom the magistrate dismissed the case with a reprimand to the begging waiter. 'If I ever see you doing such a thing at a dinner where I am,' said the magistrate. 'I will give you a summons out of my own pocket.'"—New York Sun. BAKER. Mrs. Jack—The paper tells of a woman who clung to a buoy for 12 hours. Jack—Clung to a boy?

Rockefeller, Jr., at the recent reunion of the Bible class of which he is vice-president, said of a somewhat abusive magazine writer: "He attacks his country's greatest men, but, when I read his attacks, I can't help thinking that he is rather like old Uncle Rastus. "Uncle Rastus, testifying in a certain lawsuit, refused to be sworn. "Ah will affirm,' he said. "But, Uncle Rastus,' said the judge, 'how is this? Last week, in the Calhoun case, you swore readily enough.' "Yo honah,' said Uncle Rastus solemnly, 'Ah was mo' surah o' mah facks in dat case dan in dis one.'" WATCHMAKER'S INGENUITY. A dispatch in a French newspaper from Berlin recounts the remarkable achievements of a watchmaker, one Carron, a Pole. The fame of Carron had reached the ears of the czar. His majesty ordered that some brass nails, some wood splinters, a piece of glass and a broken cup and lengths of iron wire should be sent to the craftsman with the command that he should turn this material into a watch. The porcelain cup served as the case and the works were made of the other material. The czar was surprised to receive the completed work in an incredibly short space of time. MEMORIALS OF GEN. WOLFE. The war relics given by Lady Scoresby Johnstone to the Edinburgh Municipal museum have reached their new home.

A brass plate testifies that "this gun mortar was used by Gen. Wolfe at the siege of Quebec in 1759."—London Globe. BY THE APPRENTICE SYSTEM. There is some talk of teaching girls domestic work by the apprentice system, according to the London Daily Telegraph. The idea is to place a girl out in a family when she leaves grammar school, at the age of fourteen or so, under a thorough housekeeper. The latter will receive a fee of $50 in return for the girl's food, board and instruction in plain cooking for three months. .BRIDGE OVER PANAMA CANAL One Will Be Built Across Big Ditch at Empire 175 Feet Above Water Level. A bridge 175 feet high is to be thrown across the Panama canal at Empire. Only the absolute necessity of maintaining uninterrupted railroad communication across the isthmus has led the engineers to sanction the construction of any sort of an obstruction across the waterway. But as the necessity exists the board has decided to construct a bridge at that point at 175 feet above the water level. A height of 135 feet at high tide is considered sufficient for the bridges in New York harbor, but the top of the smokestacks of the two ocean giants now building, the Olympic and Titanic, will tower 150 feet above the water level when those ships are lightdraft. The Panama canal bridge will carry a railroad covering a width of about 16 feet, roadway of about the same width and one or more foot walks six feet wide, roadway of about the same width and one or more foot walks six feet wide. It will be of the high plate girder arch type.—Washington Evening Star. AWAKE WHEN HE SLEEPS Baker Mrs. Hoyle—Don't you hate to have your husband work all night? WHY CUCKOO BUILDS NO NEST. A Danish legend about the cuckoo is very curious. It relates that when in the early spring time its voice is first heard in the woods every village girl kisses her hand and asks the question "Cuckoo, cuckoo, when shall I be married?" And the old people, borne down with age and rheumatism, ask "Cuckoo, cuckoo, when shall I be released from this world's cares?" The bird in reply continues to sing "Cuckoo!" And as many times as he sings they count one year to the fulfilment of their desires. It is said that the poor bird has so many questions put to her that before she realizes it the building season has gone by and she is forced to put her eggs into the hedge-sparrow's nest. WHEN THE KING MOTORS. It may not be generally known that the drivers of the motor cars of the king, the prince of Wales and the duke of Connaught are all policemen. The late king's instructions were: "Run no risks, but lose no time." The latter clause used to be obeyed so implicitly that Lord Denby once when returning from Newmarket a "horse's length" behind the king, on whom he was in attendance, was stopped in his motor by the police at Barnet—a happy illustration of the principle that the king can do no wrong. The royal drivers do not rely on a motor horn alone. Alongside them on the box there sits a footman, who plays a key bugle to announce the approach of the car.—Tit-Bits. DRIVE SPARROWS AWAY. Sparrows that have made their home on the north side of the avenue between Ninth and Tenth streets have been deported. Their chatter disturbed the audiences in the moving picture theaters and the authorities decreed that they must move. Accordingly rockets were set off beneath the trees the other day and those sparrows that were not killed or injured flew away.—Washington Herald. A DIAGNO818.

E. ministers of this section of the state, which composes the Georgia conference, have organized themselves into an educational association and have secured in the suburbs of this city 22 1-2 acres of land, on which an industrial institute is being established. Rev. R. W. Greatheart, of St. James' Tabernacle, and Rev. R. H. Singleton, pastor of the leading negro Methodist church here, are president and secretary. Rev. R. D. Stinson, of Atlanta, an earnest, industrial advocate, has been offered the full control of the project if he will take charge and develop the plant. It is not known here what position Stinson will take in the matter. He held two or three educational mass meetings a year ago in the negro churches of the city, when Judge Samuel B. Adams, leading white minister, and other citizens took part. COLORED FIRE HERO DEAD. Honored Colored Man of Haverhill, Mass., Who Was Policeman and Then Fireman. Haverhill, Mass.—(Special.)—Sidney Mason, the best known colored citizen of the city, died at his home on Elm street, Bradford district, after a several months' illness. His demise marks the passing of a man who has won unusual honor in the field of his labor, for when the town of Bradford was annexed to the city of Haverhill in 1697 he was appointed to the permanent staff of the fire department, the first and only colored man ever so honored. About forty years ago when colored people had found the North a free home for themselves, young Mason was inspired to come and he followed others to Bradford. He was several times elected by the town as a constable and served in the town fire department as well. As a horseman he was an expert in care and control. He drove hose 5 until about three years ago, when he retired to become a coachman for William B. Kimball, his advanced age making the more arduous duties of a fireman too great for him. During his service as a fire-fighter and policeman, he gained distinction for courage and fairness. AGAINST SEPARATION OF RACES. W. P. Dabney Thinks It Is Not a Well-Advised Scheme to Divide the Races. CincinnatiL—(Special.)—Not all of the colored people of the city are in favor of separate public schools for colored children, and one of the more prominent opponents of the plan is Prof. W. P. Dabney, paymaster in the city treasurer's office and editor of the Republican Union. To the Times-Star Professor Dabney said: "I can see no more reason for the separation of colored children than I can for having separate schools for Hungarians, separate schools for Italians or any other race or color of people. We are all citizens, all taxpayers, directly or indirectly. Instead of establishing schools that will still further promote race antagonism let us rather bring the races together. If a colored child, any particular colored child, is unfit to attend a school, let that particular child be excluded, just as you would exclude any particular white child. I am most decidedly against the separate school plan. It looks to me that it is a clever scheme for some colored men to get a job for themselves and is not for the purpose of promoting the welfare of the race." MOVE TO HONOR LANGSTON. Plan to Raised Money for Oil Painting to Be Hung In Howard University. Washington, D. C.—(Epecial.)—A number of prominent residents here have started a movement to raise subscriptions for an oil painting of late Congressman John Mercer Langston of Virginia, the same to be hung in Howard university. Mr. Langston was at one time dean of the law department of the university, and his widow is now living in a residence near the university. Mr. Langston was graduated from Oberlin college, and was one of the few colored men to receive a collegiate training before the Civil war.

Sarorvay, APrit 8, 1911 Aftew days ago a certain Negrc gentleman had a little business witt a white banking institution of the city and haying but a limited amount of time at his disposal in which to transact this business was much gratified upon entering this institution to find that there were only # few in line to be wait- ed on before his turn would come. So, taking his place in the line he waited contentedly for about a half hour for his turn and finally becoming somewhat uneasy at the rapidly passing minutes thought he would do a little investigating. He noticed that the line was com- posed entirely of persons of his own race and that not one of them had moved up a peg since he took his stand and upon further inves- tigation discovered that this long wait was occasioned by the.fact that the white women and men who had entered the bank and had business at this game window were not compelled to wait their turns but were ushered up to the window by an attache of the bank, especial dele- gated it would seem for this work, and transacted their business while the Negro men and women in line were Jooking on in amaze- ment. But this is not the first time this thing bas happened and will not be the last. It simply demonstrates the fact that we must eventually learn that our ee in these institutions that iscriminate against us is not wanted and that since this is true our money should bear the color stamp also and be placed where both our presence and hard earn- ed cash will find a hearty wel- come.

Bryant, C. K. Hardwick, Edw'd G. Bryant. OF INTEREST TO OUR WOMEN MILLINERY. The hats with the turned-up brims look well on most types of women, far more so than the small turbans, which set so closely to the head, and they are much in favor now. Some come in black satin, with a facing of color, some are all of black, with the tiny touch of color at the edge of the brim or close in about the hair, while many are all black, with just a cluster of white gardenias at one side. Gardenias are, in fact, the most popular flower of the moment in the millinery world. They are expensive, to be sure, and are also prone to soil quickly, but they are undoubtedly one of the prettiest of the fads of the day, and their waxy whitiness shines out against the blackness of the modern hats in a very effective fashion. While the majority sizes, the feminine heart still vacillates between very big hats and very small ones, and some charming models in both kinds are now seen. The picture hat is still in favor for wear with elaborate toilettes, while for every day the winter girl goes to the other extreme, cramming the jaunty boyish-looking small hats over her ears when she shops or walks. These sensible little velcur hats, almost devoid of trimming, jammed down on her head and her great shaggy looking polo coat wrapped around her, make the winter girl look as though she could defy wind and weather, and by the breezy wholesome atmosphere she creates finds favor anew in man's eyes. With the donning of a calling gown, however, the boyish hats must be laid aside, and if the gown is of velvet one of the new turbans to match edged with fur, may now be worn, or the hat of the earlier winter may be ripped apart, the crown covered with soft folds of chiffon, which may be treated about the edge of the brim, and the whole finished with a bow of lace, to make a hat which will smack of the Rue de la Paux. Another clever way to replace an old hat, if a new one is not possible at the minute, is to buy some narrow, dull gold braid and put a network of it over the crown. This brim may then be faced up with a delicate shade of satin, and the whole be finished with a twist of fur and braid, or merely by the addition of two gardenlas. The question as to whether a bandeau should or should not be worn, must be settled by the woman herself. Some are wearing their hats well over their eyes, others wear them higher. It depends upon which is the most becoming, for, after all, no hat that is unbecoming ever looks smart, no matter how up-to-date it may be. FOLDING A SHIRT. A laudress gives these simple directions for folding a shirt: Lay the garment out flat, the bosom down and fold each side from the sleeves over on the bosom. Next fold the sleeves so that the seam follows the seam of the body of the garment. This necessitates the shoulder slipping to the neck. Double up the sleeves so the cuffs are just above the collar. Now turn up the shirt a few inches and then double under the breast. LACE-TRUMMED BEDDING Sheets, whether of linen or cotton, may be made very handsome by the addition of an insertion of heavy lace, an inch or so in width, just at the hem. Insertion trims the pillow cases in a similar way HONEY CAKES. Bring one and one-half cupfuls of honey to the boiling point. Skim if necessary. Add one-furth cupful of butter and cool. Add two cupfuls of pastry flour, stirring it in carefully. Let this mixture stand over night. When ready to bake stir in the grated yellow rind of one lemon, two tablespoonfuls of lemon juice, one-half cupful of chopped branched almonds. Add one-half teaaponful sugar, dissolved in a little lukewarm water and bake in small round tins. Ice when cool. MEND WITH MUCILAGE. A novel way of mending a silk or woolen dress in which a hole has been torn, and where only a patca could remedy matters, is as follows: The frayed portion around the tear should be carefully smoothed and a piece of the material, moistened with very thin mucillage, placed under the hole. A heavy weight should be placed on it until dry, when it is possible to discover the mended piece by careful observation only. FASHION NOTES. The kimono sleeve has been so generally adopted that it is practically the only sleeves of the year. Chenille cloth resembling woolen crepe, of a soft texture and light in weight, will be used for spring dresses. Large patches of flat embroidery will be used on trocks of this material. In the new satins and crepes many of the delicate intricate designs of the old Indian shawls are given in contrasting tones by the weave of the material. ```markdown ``` A GIRL'S TEMPER. "Why is it that girls who are considered sweet-tempered and agreeable before marriage often develop into arbitrary and self-assertive bride?" This question was asked by a mother-in-law, and is worthy of comment. It may be urged that this girl before marriage set a watch upon her lips, and tried to be agreeable. The unmarried girls has much more to gain by pleasant personal qualities than a married woman has, for unless girls make themselves pleasant and obliging they are apt to be left out when parties are being arranged and to be abandoned to their solitary fate by those who would be their allies. Since girls are not expected to return as much hospitality as they receive, they must of necessity depend upon their personal qualities for invitations. On the other hand, a married woman who gives parties gets asked in return, whether she is agreeable or not. Again, the bride is apt to foster an exaggerated idea of her own importance as the chateaigne of her house. Before marriage she had to get her mother's consent to most of her proceedings—to the invitations she accepted and the friends she asked to the house. The sudden freedom from restraint and the indulgence of a husband are apt to spoil her character and make her disagreeable to her relatives, especially to those on his side of the house, and immensely patronizing to her old friends, particularly those who have remained unmarried. Another reason why some girl's tempers are spoiled by marriage lies in the trials and annoyances to which a girl with a number of relatives is subjected. It is hard to please critical persons, and relatives seem particularly addicted to criticism of a bride's meancr, her housekeeping, and her domestic arrangements. PEPPER NUTS. There is a favorite small cake that may be made in quantity and kept on hand for a fortnight. Cream together one cup of butter, one of lard, and two of brown sugar. Add three eggs one at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition. Then add the spices—one grated nutmeg, two teaspoonfuls of cinnamon and two of anise seed, one teaspoonful of ground cloves, four spoonfuls whole coriander, one cupful chopped citron. Next add four cups of molasses with whica have been mixed two teaspoonfuls of soda dissolved in a little warm water and flour with which four teaspoonfuls of cream tartar has been sifted, using flour to make a stiff dough. Knead with the hands until well mixed and smooth, then roll out on a floured board into long rolls about an inch in diameter. With a sharp knife cut in to slices a quarter of an inch thick. Bake in a quick oven to light brown, and when they will keep for a long time. THE DRESS OF A GOOD WIFE Her clothes are comely rather than costly, and she makes plain cloth to be velvet by her handsome wearing of it. She is none of our dainty dames, who love to appear in variety of suits every day new—as if a good gown, like a strategem in war, were to be used but once; but our good wife sets up a sail according to the keel of her husband's estate; and if it of high parentage, she does not so remember what she was by birth, that she forgets what she is by match.—Thomas Fuller. ENGLISH MEAT PIE. One and a half pounds of round steak, one quart of onions, six on seven potatoes. For crust: One and a fourth cups of flour, one teaspoon baking powder, one-fourth cup ice water. First make ple crust. Mix baking powder and salt into flour, work the lard thoroughly into this, add water, mix and roll thin and line a deep roasting pan with the paste. Cut meat into small pieces, slice potatoes and onions, put in layer of meat, then layer of onions, then potatoes until pan is full, seasoning well and sprinkling with flour. Put on upper crust and bake one hour in moderate oven. Moisture from the potatoes and onions will make the gravity. No other vegetables are needed. HOUSEHOLD HINTS Before relaying the carpets after the spring cleaning try washing around the edges of the flood to the depth of a yard from the baseboard with a strong solution of alum water. Several times a month sprinkle salt over the carpet before sweeping. To clean a white belt make rather a thick paste of cream of tartar and cold water and rub the belt with it. Leave for an hour and then rub with a mixture of alum and fuller's earth in equal parts. Next day brush the belt with a clean soft brush till all the powder is removed. Rub again with some coarse oatmeal to which a little powdered whiting has been added. If when reading or sewing by lamp light a sheet of white paper is placed under the lamp. It will be found that a far stronger light is shed all over the room. ```markdown ``` THE PERSONAL SIDE OF D. PORFIRIO It seems strange in view of the fact that he has been in the limelight for half a century that not one man in a arunded has heard or could tell you a truthfull anecdote about Diaz the man. This, because of two reasons; one is that to the world at large Diaz the so-called Despot is so tremendous a figure that his inner personality is lost, in comparison; the other and more potent reason is that like most truly great men. Diaz's personal life is an isolated and lonely one. His own people really fear him more than they love him, and the fast that he has no 'English," as the Mexicans express it, reeps at an unsurmountable distance whose of our Anglo-Saxon correspondents and smellers-out-of-news who might otherwise attempt, (I repeat 'attempt') to interview Diaz in "person." One might note here in passant that Diaz knows far more English than he is supposed to; either as a safeguard, or through a queer sort of shyness (and I leave it the reader to make a choice) Mexico's great President refuses to answer or understand a word of English. Diaz at Eighty. Externally, at the ripe old age of slighty, Porfirio Diaz is the most well-groomed, upright, bright-eyed and physically-alert man of over fifty that any army of the day can exhibit. Slender, magnificently set-up, soldierly in his every movement, this octogenarian could easily out-walk, out-ride, and out-shoot many and many a soldier of half his own age, at the "Presidents meeting", of last year, in El Paso, it was enlightening to listen to the "odicus camparisons" drawn between Diaz and our own fate, puffy Taft. Any onlooker ignorant of the fact would have believed the latter older than Diaz by at least a decade, whereas, there must be at least thirty years' in Taft's favor. By reason of his erect carriage, President Diaz seems taller than he really is, for he would not measure five feet ten. His hair is very thick and—prematurely so in comparison with his tanned and healthy complexion and deep-set dark eyes. He has a splendid strong nose (was it not Wellington who said "give me a man with a nose!") and a stern, square fighting chin, shaded by a short white mustache. All in all, when attired in generals uniform, with its pomp and glitter of gold and lacings and many medals and Orders, (it is safe to state that Diaz has had conferred on him every Order under the sun,) there cannot be a much more striking and powerful figure than that of Profrio Diaz of Mexico. Simplicity Itself. Many people have remarked upon the fact that Diaz "rarely ever talks and never smiles." But I have known him to talk at length; he is blessed with a great sense of humor; and to one who believes that this great man is too obsessed with cares of state to smile or otherwise unbend, I would suggest—"only see Diaz in the company of children—preferably his own grandchildren. Then you will see him smile, laugh—it may be romp, though this I have never witnessed." In his private life Diaz is simplicity itself. At Chapultepec, he does not use the luxurious apartments which ruited Maximillan's imperial tastes; Diaz's own rooms, where he works far into the night meanwhile the humblest of his people slumber and sleep, comprise a "sala" or office room, where many matters of general importance are disposed of; and another smaller apartment. The latter has the simple furniture of a soldier's bed room, and on a plain iron bed herein this hard-working "Dictator" takes his briefs night's rest, when his long day's work has been completed. And this at eighty! Our own nerve-racked, short-lived American statesman look upon Diaz's achievements, SOUTH CAROLINA'S CORN CROP Jerry Mcore, the boy farmer of South Carolina, raised 228 1-4 bushels of corn on one acre. The average yield of corn per acre in this country last year was 27.4 buchels. That is, it took about nine acres of land generally to produce what Jerry raised on one acre. This fact shows how far behind the possibilities is our frutition; and how HIGHBROW PHILOSOPHY The test of a pleasure is the memory of it. Happiness is not doing what we like, but liking what we do. Stop watching for chances to turn up. Hustle out and turn them up. Life is a book. Read it carefully, for you can read it only once. Everything comes to him who waits, save that which he is waiting for. Build castles in the air by all means—then put foundations under them. The girl who treasures up a compliment instead of using it as social discovers the dross when it's too late. Everybody is ready to lend a helping hand at a dog fagal. It does not require agricultural knowledge to raise a row. Bought experience comes high, but it is usually a good investment. The man who is a joke to most people is a serious proposition to him self. The man who is freest in giving advice becomes resentful when others offer it to him. GENERAL D. PORFIRIO DIAZ, PRESIDENT OF MEXICO. at his age, much as Methusaleh's contemporaries doubtless viewed his cycle of years. Yet consider Diaz's antecedents and, above all, his mode of life. Of soldierly Spanish blood, with a preponderance of Oaxaca-Indian, President Diaz's ancestors and relatives of today have attained, and still live to the ripe old age of 105 and 115! Terraza, the cattle lord Madau would-be President, and many of the Mexican rich. Every one knows that I been twice married; first, man age, to an Indian girl of Oaxaca. One of her children, a ter, is married to the end wealthy de la Torre, while his son, Porfirio Jr., is a well Like the Indians and Japanese, Diaz吃 little meat, few sweats, with little if any wine or liquor. His diet is largely one of the corn products; rice, the bean (or frijol,) with liquid diet of good, pure water and a good deal of the Indian "atole," which is an Indian mixture much like gruel. A great believer in the old English saying that "the outside of a horse is the best thing for the inside of a man," Diaz is an uniting and magnificent horseman, taking a special joy in troop inspection and exercises. He is moreover an active pedestrian, which is unusual for a cavalryman of his years; and is conceded to be one of the finest and steadiest shots in North American. In fact, shooting trips are Diaz's only relaxations, and he dearly loves to don a "traje de cazar" (shooting rig) of shabbiness so pronounced as to reduce to despair that vivacious lady, Senora Diaz — affectionately known as "Carmencita". In the winter home on Calle Cadena, Mexico City, Diaz lives far more private and unostentatious a life than do his rich subjects. As for his wife, the Dona Carmen—that is another matter! She was the daughter of rich old Romero Rubio, is absolutely devoted to Don Porfirio, whose junior she is by some twenty years, and she it is who has the fortune of the family. For few people are aware that Doaz himself is comparatively a poor man—not worth a twenthe of the fortune possessed by men like Reyes. slack in their efforts are skill and intelligence. It also assures us that though the farm lands of the country are all taken up, their capacity is scarcely touched. There are vast areas still untaken, vast yields in the intensive fields, where brain and big crops go together. It is a fine outlook for this country, where genius and enterprise unite in Not From Politness. This was heard in an overcrowded Boston elevated train: "Say, Dick," said the young man whose football tactics had won him a strap in the rush. "Say, Dick, I've been riding in on the L' every morning except Sunday and holidays for two years, and I've never given up a seat to a lady yet." "You're a pollite one," sneered Dick. "Nothing of the kind," retorted the young man. "I've never had a seat to give up."—Boston Post. Modern Childhood. "Son," inquired the old-fashioned uncle, "do you know the story of Jack and the Beanstalk?" "These muscal comedies have no story worth mentioning," replied the new-fashioned nephew.

"I suppose it was because we all ways went."—Exchange. Terraza, the cattle lord Madero, the would-be President, and many others of the Mexican rich. Every one knows that Dlaz has been twice married; first, many years ago, to an Indian girl of Oaxaca, who died. One of her children, a daughter, is married to the enormously wealthy de la Torre, while the only son, Porfrio, Jr., is a well-educated, competent engineer, and ordinarily his father's attach. As before stated, President Diaz's second wife is very popular with the people of Mexico. It is largely owing to her goodness and practical plety that he has begun to somewhat relax has hitherto stern attitude toward the church and priesthood of Mexico. Far from being an atheist (as he is generally mistakenly believed) Diaz thinks a great deal of the sort of religion that does genuine good; he prefers the school house to the church when it comes to the uplifting and bettering of his ignorant people, and he has no sympathy with Masses, incense and candles, hysterically religious women and the priests. Outside of Mexico the comment most frequently heard anent this great Mexican is that "he is, while the greatest ruler of today, a man of iron" . . . "without human interests," . . . "so lacking in the magnetism and elan of Reyes, for example." . . . (Reyes, indeed, whose secret popularity with the "gente" or masses of Mexico is due entirely to his anti-foreign policy and sentiments!) One must admit that Porfirio Díaz is stern and hard, and there is little of his heart visible on his sleeve. But he has warm human instincts nevertheless; he is a good father and a devoted husband, and there is doubtless no better, firmer friend (nor bitter enemy) than he. Among the writer's best friends are warmly reckoned a certain Spanish- pushing the productiveness of the soil to its utmost limits. In the problem are involved, not only great crops, but a true citizenship. Intensive farming provides the finest avenue for intellectual culture and a noble life than can be found in all the professions and positions of fame and influence in the country. The first citizen of the republic is not the president, or the governor, or the financial magnate, but the quiet, modest man who raises 200 bushels of corn to the acre. All hall to him. WORTH KNOWING. The trees which are used in the government work of reforestation are grown at eight governent nurseries in the Western forest reserves. In Chicago, out of every one thousand women in the age period from 25 to 29, at the last count, there were 314 who were unmarried. In Denver there were 331. In Manhattan and the Bronx there were 356. In Minneapolis there were 369. In Philadelphia there were 387. Because he was afraid a former "master," to whom he had been apprenticed to learn farming, but from whom he ran away to go to war, would lay claim to his person and force him to serve out his period of service, Daniel Sheldon, a veteran of the civil war, threw away his discharge papers and assumed the name of George Smith recently in Bellidere, N. J. That the Romans of old knew something of vintages in proved by the finding of a vial of wine believed to be 2,000 years old in an old Roman cemetery near Bordeaux. Indian family of Oaxaca, a stately, whitehalred lady of 90 odd, being the head of the house. Her husband was killed many years ago while fighting at the side of General, (then Colonel), Diaz. He left a helpress young widow and three small children and no father nor male relatives. Dlaz has for many years looked after the laterests of this widow and her children, watching their financial affairs far more closely than his own. And in this charming home it was the writer's pleasant fortune to meet many times the President of Mexico, who spared many badly needed hours from other monumental affairs to patiently discuss with the old lady (now a trie vociferous and borous) such trivial personal matters as (1) "how to keep Crisofero (a harum-scarum attache) from the baccarat tables; how much longer another son should be kept at Stonyhurst, and what yould be the most fitting name for Tercasa's baby, Marfa or Carmen?" A Ride in the Presidents Coach. A friend tells of a droll experience of hers in the City of Mexico; "At that time" (twenty years ago) "I was but newly arrived, and knew little of the country and people, and absolutely nothing of the language and customs. Therefore I provided great sport for my younger relatives and friends, who hesitated not to play for my benefit many varied and practical jokes. For example, upon one occasion, after a long stop in the Cathedral. I was dismayed to find that I had a bare ten minutes in which to reach home, change my clothes and rush to meet a luncheon party. Our carriage had been sent away; no car was in sight, but upon imparting these things to my friends they said, airily: "Nonsense, that's easy enougah. Wave at that coach over there; say to its 'coachero' "Calle Numero Tanto," and he will get you home in five minutes, particularly if you show him a silver piece." No sconer sald than done. Leaving them giggling (for some reason to me unknown) I dashed across the street in a vigorous bee-line for the suggested coach. I barely noticed as I ran that it was an unpretentious yet dignified coupe, the horses plain, long-tailed ones, the coachman in ordinary dark clothes and black Mexican sombrero. Him I did not wait to interrogate, but diving into the carriage, I pulled the bell-cord and called to him the legend as put into my mouth by my friends. He jumped and almost dropped the reins in his surprise. Then, shaking his head and agitatedly waving his hands, he began to argue—at least I judged from his expression that he was arguing, and that in no mild way. I could in answer only repeat the address and, to no avail, showing him a dollar. He merely continued, to argue voicferously, shake his head and wave his hands. At this propitious moment a quietly dressed Mexican gentleman appeared, coming hurriedly toward the carriage. He stopped short when he saw me seated within, then smiled as he saw what the situation was. Lifting his hat, he said courteously:* "To what street would you wish to proceed, Mees?" I gratefully told him; he spoke a curt word or two to the coachman, and then lifted his hat, with a pleasant smile, as that functionary topped up the horses and the carriage swung rapidly away. Passing swiftly down the street, I caught-a glimpse of my friends, who were staring, wide-eyed, with smiles seemingly frozen on their countenances. I wondered what could be the matter with them. I began to understand when I reached my domicile and beheld the household almost falling from the windows, so surprised were they over my arrival in this particular coach. FRAIL WOMAN. Cook three meals a day unflustered and roasts all her friends with the same calmness. Survives every species of masculine ill-treatment, yet almost dies from masculine indifference. Stands three house at the mirror over a new coiffure, then stands for anything her husband will do. Sits at a 'sewing machine ten hours a day, then is perfectly willing to sit five more at the moving pictures. When you give hostage to worldliness, it's like tipping the porter—it's lots more pleasant going. Life is like a railroad journey; some get off at the near stations, while others travel as far as the terminus. Some fellows are content to get an upper berth, while others are not even satisfied with "hogging" a whole section. Man takes to the smoker, but every once in a while he promenades through the coaches to see how all the woman fare without him. Unbiased opinions are usually on the square.

It almost Ieads one to think that the United States is doing an unjust act to her subjects by sending mlasion- arles into other countries to do mis- aion work when there is such a great Seld for laborers ‘ere at home in her own territory. It is very sad to seo the number of colored people.tramping the streefs‘day after day, hungry, nax- ed and ignorant of the world In general, all due to the fact that they have not had the due respect of their more fortunate brothers and the care- ful consideration of the willte race.

He prefers using it as abone mentioned and be contented with crimes, sins of an kinds and low anx- fetles, looking for nothing, hoping for nothing and getting nothing. It fs discouraging to compare tho intelligent and law-abiding cltizens ot the Negro race with the worthless, unlearned and ignorant class of to- day. In ‘spite of the number ot schools, colleges and universities that are open and asking them to come in end taste, one in life, of the fruits of wisdom, knowledge and understand- ing of the world and its mysteries, That class of Negroes that hang around the corners and live from hand to band is the class that cou- sistitutes the criminal element of our race to a great extent. But do you realize that fs is a re- flection cast on the entire Negro race to allow these members of the race to remain in this predicament? As: long as there ts disgrace, erlmiuality and unlawfulness committed by this fguorant, worthless and baneful ele- ment, the career of the intelligent class will be handicapped, because not tor ourselves only are we responsible, but for all in our race. And when the educated class begins to realize that on their shoulder rests the burden of their less fortunate brotaers, to the extent that they will spend a few of the preclous moments that are thrown away in an unprofitable manner, in trying to help “these people to over come their miserable and degrading conditions, in them and such as them only can the black race be Jooked on as beginning to be educated in tre deepest meaning of the word.

Such a conference as this will offer tae opportunity for those engag- ed in any kind of service in Africa, or the countlia above mentioned, to be come more intimately acquainted with the work and the problems of Africa and these, other countries. Such A meeting will be valuable and helpful, also, in so far as it will give opportunt- ty for a general interchange of ideas in organizing and sytematizing the work of education of the native peo- pleg in Africa and elsewhere and the preparation of teachers for that work. Wide knowledge of the work that each is doing should open means of co-operation that do not now exist. ‘The object of calling this Conferen- ce at Tuskegee Institute is to afford an opportunity for studying the me- thods employed in helping the Negro people of the United States, with a view of education to waat extent Tus- kegee and Hampton methods may be applied to conditions in these coun- trles, as well as to conditions in Africa, It 1s Roped that numbers of people representing the different governments Interested in Africa and the West In- dies, as well ss representatives from the United States, and the countries of South America, will decide to at- tend, this conference, Expectally is ft urged that missionary and other workers in these various countries be present and take an active part In the deliberatfons of the conference. It is desirable, in any case, to have any suggestions as to what might bo done to make the work of the confer- ence more helpful to all concerned ‘The names of persons who would like to be present, with whom you are ac- quainted, will be appreciated, and through you they are invited to be present and take part in the dellbera- tions of tae conference.

These reports must be in the Grand Secretary's office with fees not later than May first. The lodges have only about three weeks to render this report. Let the officers of every lodge see to it that the report is rendered on time and correctly. This year's report must show improvement over that of the past not alone in membership and finance, but particularly in accurateness and promptness. It is not too early for the lodges to plan for a proper observance of St. John's Day in June. No lodge in the jurisdiction must fail to properly observe this day. All attention must be directed to the Grand Lodge session in June. Lodges that have not received the blanks for the rendering of the Grand Lodge reports should send to the Grand Secretary at once for same. The need of blanks, though, will be no excuse for not rendering any report at the proper time. A ritual without the soul of Masonry is dead. It is a skeleton of dry bones hung together by wires as may be seen in a doctor's office or the class room of a medical college.—N. O. Square and Compass. Sympathy is God-given. The chords of sympathy that run through the heart of man bind the human to the divine. He is near to the kingdom whose soul shows forth the pulsations of love for his fellow-man. "Not every one who sayeth Lord, Lord," is accepted, but he whose action proves the sincerity of his words. Real sympathy demands that the words we speak take a tangible shape in action. Smboth the fevered brow, cool the parched lips, rub out the furrows of care and bring the sunshine of sympathy to the sufferer. He is your brother, a son of the same Father and were the conditions of life reversed, the obligations of sympathy would be reversed also.—Masonic Standard. The enduring things in Masonry are not its history, its property or its numbers enrolled, but the principles upon which it is founded—its ideals of life, of conduct, which animate its members. To these ideals you can easily fasten the eager, hungry mind of the young man if the older members but show sincerity and fellowship. There is in Masonry, rightly presented, not a thing that will not work for the development of the young man's nature and for the increase of his usefulness to his fellow-beings. Do not let them lose sight of Masonry as a grand institution; do not let it be to them merely a symbolic sphinx, buried in the desert sands of modern commercialism, love of ease and physical satiety; keep it ever revealed—an animated body of living truth—a never failing source of inspiration to, high endeavor—a true exemplification of the idea, "The Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man."—Square and Compass. Isn't there such a thing as a lodge buying its prosperity The writer knows of a certain lodge which for several years had been doing a reasonable amount of work and doing it well. The brethren were attentive to their duties and harmony prevailed But one year the lodge elected a master who was, in the parlance of the street, "a live one." This master concluded that the lodge ought to do more work and should be more of an entertainer. As a result he set to work, enthused every one, brought in a large number of petitions, worked every one almost to death, gave suppers, banquets and entertainments; he served his allotted time in the east and surrendered the gavel to a more conservative brother. A summing up of the two years of activity showed that the lodge had gained in membership, but had lost financially. In other words, it cost more to keep up the pace than the earnings of the lodge. The lodge is now back to normal and all it has to show for two years of apparent prosperity is the record that it has an added membership. The fact that it paid more than it received leads to the conclusion that very often lodges simply go into the market and buy their prosperity, paying the price. For the III.

Besides, the brothers who receive them realize that they are remembered, and it gives them courage to continue the battle. There is not a Mason alive but who would be delighted to receive these little remembrances, and they would admit it if you were to ask them.—The Master Mason. Masonic Charity. To run Masonic charity upon the lines of friendly society is to entirely miss the teaching of the institution. The paramount questions, so clearly portrayed in our ceremonies, and so thoroughly understood by the brethren of the past generation, who are so speedily leaving us, were: "Is he a Mason?" "Is he in need?" Nothing beyond that. He may have been fool- ish, negligent or even worse; but if he is a Mason needing help, he had a right to receive it. We want to get back to the old paths, to get back to the old spirit which animated our forefathers and not view the question from a buckstering, trading point of view.—Australian Keystone. Quality First. Quality being first, and quantity second, too great care cannot be exercised in selecting materials for the Masonic edifice. When completed it is to be magnificent and fit for divine inspection and acceptance, and no imperfection can escape detection by the Allseeing Eye. Briefly, Freemasonry is the first and best of human institutions; the most sublime system of moral, religious and philosophical ethics ever devised by man aided by the divine, and it is not to be profaned by opening its portals to the masses who may knock thereat, but only to those who conform to its principles and meet its requirements, or who, in their hearts and conduct and persons, are worthy of its acceptance, its light and its honors. FOR THE DOMESTIC HUSBAND Attractive Patterns Are Obtainable For the Man Who Will Do His Own Sewing. Our new line of patterns for men will be found extremely useful for the sensiblo and thrifty young man who prefers to do his own sewing. For instance, No. 9863 is an easily made evening suit. Buy seven yards—say seven and a half—of nice, black cloth. Lay it out on the floor and pin the pattern to it with the bias fold on the crease of the garment. All perforations are allowed, and the seams may be run up by hand. Trim with braid and a few buttons. This model may be carried out in pongee or tan linen if preferred. Pattern 7836 is for a man's kitchen apron. This useful garment should be made of art ticking and bound with red braid. Cut according to the pattern and place the triple notch on the stripe of the ticking. There is only one pocket pattern, but twenty-four pieces of the material are to be cut by this, as a man requires a great many pockets. All seams allowed. Attach the pockets on any part of the apron until all are used up, catstitch them into place, and finish the tops with a buttonhole bar. Attach tapes at the triple perforations to tie the thing on. It is advisable to wear the apron behind, as when worn in front it is apt to be in the way. A knitted Tuxedo dinner coat is one of the latest and most fetching of the season's models. Choose a chinchilla worsted of good quality. Cast on one hundred and ten stitches, purl three, narrow two, slip, widen, bind. Repeat backward until it is finished. Crochet a pink border in shell pattern, and finish with a gilt cord and tassels.—Judge. Oxen In Lumber Camps. After nearly fifty years' retirement from active service the ox has again come into recognition as a motive power in the lumbering industry of northern Minnesota, northern Wisconsin and among the frontier settlers of these states. The reason is the high price of feed for horses. There is little or no expense for the "keep" of oxen as compared with that of horses. It is estimated that there are now in northern Wisconsin and Minnesota 2,000 yoke of oxen used in hauling logs which have replaced high-priced horses. This is nearly double the number employed a year ago. So satisfactory are these animals proving in the cultivation of land from which the timber has been cut that it is likely their use will become general and remain so for many years.
