Unied States Has All It Can At- tend to With the Terri- tory it Is Now * Governing. Now York—Reciprocity with Can- ada must be adopted now or never and must stand or fall by its own terms. Amid tremendous applause and the waving of handkerchiefs so declared President Taft in an ad- dress at the Waldorf-Astoria at the fourth annual joint banquet of the Associated Press and tho American Publishers’ Association. His address was the first of a series in which he plans to evoke public sentiment in support of his policies, and he ap- pealed to the.company of editors and newspaper owners, gathered from the length andthe breadth of the land to impress in the public mind that reciprocity should stand alone, and “ought not to be affected in any re- gard by other amendments to the tariff law.” His recommendations wero warmly cheered. All talk of annexation he-charac- terized as “bosh” and ssid that the United States has all {t can attend to with the territory IP is now gov- erning. He praised the House of Rep- resentatives for {ts passage of the agreement; declared that it would not injure the farmer nor any special class, answered in detail tho objec- tions that have-been ralsed to reci- procity and begged for at least “a Kind of test” to dispel the ghosts “ex- hibited te frighten the agricultural classes.” “I have said that this was a critl- cal time in the solution of the ques- tion of reciprocity,” concluded the President. “It fs critical because un- Jess it is now decided favorably to reciprocity it s exceedingly probable that no such opportunity will ever again come to the United States. The forces which are at work in England and in Canoda * *°* will derive an {mpetus- from the rejection of this treaty and If we would have reciproc- {ty with all the advantages that I have described and that I earnestly and sincerely believe will follow Its adoption, we must take it now or give it up forever.” 3 WORLD OWES U. S. $441,000,000 On'y Once Did Balance of Trade Exceed This Amount. Washington, D. C.—Thé world owes the United States $41,000,000 for food, clothing and raw materials sold abroad. Only once has the bal- ance of trade peen higher in favor of this country, according to Gov* ernment figures. That was in 1908, when it was more than $55,000,000. Closo observers of finance and trade predict a record-breaking fis- cal year {f the favorable condition continues until June. While opinion is divided over the significance of the’fact that the bal- ance for March was less than half the size of that of previous months, some point out that March a year ago produced a balance entlrely in the other direction, with an excess of imports of more than $19,000,~ 000. $65.750.000 Fer Railways. Berlin—The Government has fald before the Diet a bill appropriating 263,000,000 marks ($65,750,000) for the building of secondary rail- ways, double tracking some of the éxisting roads, continuing the elec- trifcation of the lines between Mag- deburg, Halle and Leipsic, beginning the electrification of the lines in the Silesian mountains and providing new rolling stock.

Rearrangement of the Congressional Districts Left to the Legistaturcs of States-rOne Member for Each 211,877 Inhabitants. Washington, D. C.—A bill provid. ing for the enlargement of the na- tional House of Representatives from 391 to 433 members and the appor- tionment of these members to the Aif- ferent States on the basis of the pop- ulation shown by the recent federal census passed the House after vain efforts of members of both political parties to amend it in important particulars. s The proposed size of the House is identical with that provided for in the Crumpacker bill, passed by the House at thé last session of, Congress, but not acted upon by the Senate, The Houston bill, just passed, leaves tc the Legislatures of tho different States the power to rearrange the Congressional districts in their re- spective State, on the new population basis of one member for each 211,877 of inhabitants. The two important amendments proposed, and defeated after lengthy debate, were to put the redistricting power in the hands of the Governor: of States, when the Legislatures had falled to act, and to limit the House in the future to a membership of 430 or 433, leaving future reapportion- ments to the Secretary of the Depart. ment of Commerce and Labor. The Increase of the size of the House was agreed to by members of both parties, but many Republicans attacked it On tho ground that it would make the House more un- wieldy. Insurgent Republicans were particularly vigorous in opposing the increase, declaring that {f it were not for the demands of those States that would otherwise loso members there would be a general sentiment In favor of, keeping the membership at the present size of 391, * Fund to Defond McNamara, Kanses City, Mo—J. A. Franklin, International president of the Boller- makers and Iron Shipbuilders of America, says that an assessment of three to six cents will be levied upon Jeach of the 3,000,000 members of ithe American Federation of Labor, to aid J.J.

James McNamara, according to de- tectives, is held as Bryce, the man alleged to have lald the infernal ma- chines that blew up the newspaper plant. Mrs. Ingersoll peered Into the face of McNamara as he entered the machine. The man was shackled to an officer, but he kept his unbound hand kefore his face. In spite of this, Mrs. Ingersoll declared atter- ward that he was Bryce. : No one, however, could have Iden- tified him as Bryce from the printed deseriptfons sent out after the indict- ments were found by the.grand jury. Thin and pale, he looked little ike the 160-pound man described In the pficiat efrculars.

C.—Victor Berger, of Milwaukee, the Soclallst member of Congress, in a resolution intro- duced In the House, not only pro- poses to abolish the Senate, hut aims to strike from the hand of the Presl- dent the veto power and take from the courts authority to . invalidate Tegislation enacted by the House of Representatives. All thie is proposéd gs an amendment to the Constitu- tlon, whfch, if petitioned for by 5 per cent. of the voters in éach State, shall be submitted to a general refer- endum, “The Senate has run its course,” said Mr. Berger after his threaten- ing document had been dropped into the hopper on the speaker's desk. “It must someday, as with the British House of Lords, yield to the popular demand for its reformation or aboli- tion.” . The resolutign was not referred to the Judiciary Committee until after several hours’ delay, caused by rals- ing the question as to whether a clause in the preamble attacking the Senate might not be a violation of the House rules. This clause re- ferred to the Senate as “a menace to the Hbertles of the people’ and as a “body, many of the members of which sre the representatives neith- er of a State nor of its people, but sdlely of certain predatory combina- tions.” House rule 22 authorizes the Speaker to throw out bills and reso- lutions of an insulting character... It was determined, however, that the resolution was not a violation, The rule prohibiting members of ‘one legislative body against eriticis- ‘Ing or attacking the other bady fs ap- plicable only in debate on the floor. BIBLE OF OUR FOREFATHERS - acai In - >» ACW xOrk.——Letters trom AURs George of England aiid President Taft were read at Carnegie Hall at a-notable gathering in celebration of the three hundredth anniversary of ‘the Publication of the King James version of the English Bible. The ‘King congratulated the people of this country on “their share in this, our common heritage,” and President Taft wrote that the “Bible's spirit ‘has influenced American ideals in life ‘and laws and government.” | The Right Rey. David H. Greer, ‘bishop of the Episcopal diocese of New York, presided at the ceremony, which was held under the auspices of the American Bible Society, James Bryce, the British ambassador, read the King’s letter and delivered an address. . ‘The King sald: “I rejoice that Amorica and Eng- land should join in commemorating the publication, 300 years go, of that version of the Holy Scriptures whieh has so long held its owa among English-speaklag peoples. “Its clreuetion In our homes has done more, pertlaps, than anything else on earth to promote among old and young the moral and religious welfare ‘on elther side of the At- lantic, “The version which bears King James’ name Is so clearly Interwoven in the history of British and Ameri- can life that it fs right we should thank God for It together. “I congratulate the President and people of the United States upon their share in this our common herltage.”” ie : Tho White House, -Mareh 7,,1911, To the Tercentenary Celebration of the King James Version of the English Bible: I desire to express my deep inter- est In the recognition which is being taken In this country of so notable an event as the Three Hundredth Anniversary of the King James Ver- sion of the English Bible. ‘The publication of the version of the Holy Scriptures in the year 1611 assoclates it with the early colonies of the English people upon this Con- tinent. It became, at once the Bible of our American forefathers. Its classic English has given share to American Iterature, Its spirit hag Influenced American Ideas in life and laws and goverament. I trust that this celebration may continue and deepen the influence of the Bible upon the people of this re- public.’ WILLIAM H. TAFT. Elbert A. Brinckerhoff, ylce-pres!- dent of the American Biblo Society, opened the meeting and Introduced Bishop Greer, who sald ia part: “The publication of the Bible, the three hundredth anniversary of which we aro assembled here to cele- brate, was not oniy a grcat literary event; {t was also a great moral and religious event. an NAVY FOR CHINA ‘Program for Its’ Expansion Includes "the Bullding of Many Battleships, Crulsers and Gunboats. The composition of the Chinese navy at present is as follows: One second-class cruiser, seven third-clasa cruisers, three torpedo gunboats, 37 gunboats, 20 torpedo boats; total, £8, The total displacement is 45,- 270 tons. . China has, however, now organ- ized a navy department and intends to carry out a construction pro- gramme to be completed in seven years. The programme includes the building of eight first-class battle- ships, over twenty cruisers and twen- ty gunboats, the organization of four naval ports at a total cost of 158,- 450,000 taels. The new fleet will have a total dis- placement of 250,000 tons. One of the new naval porte will be con- structed at Siangshan, Chekiang province, This is one of the many programmes of awakened China, for she has learned through bitter expe- rience that without being backed by foree she cannot chold her own against foreign pressure—Oriental Review. 7 - 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 sta- tions now in operation on the wes coast of Vancouver island. ‘The common North Pacific whale ha: been loafing around the waters adja- cent 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 hun- reds 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 ro- mance 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 fowed in and converted into oil with a total absence of any of the features that attended the killing and trying- out roeess in the old days—Portland jreconian. f&. - QUEEN HAS TACT. Queen Ekizabetli of the Belgians, a woman of rare tact and intelligence, is appealing to her people in a man- ner which is doing much to endear her to’ them. She lends her ener- gies to King Albert’s efforts to re- move the dark stain caused by Leo- pold’s countenance of the Congo atrocitics. Her last birthday was ene celebrated as Rose day, and the sale of the queen’s birthday ee 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 de- voted to combating the sleeping sickness in the Congo. RELIGIOUS HOUSES OF BELGIUM. The recent census of Belgian shows that mortmain is not a dead etter there. Since the last retutr the number of monks has, increased by three per cent., while the congre. gations of women show an augmen- tation of 15 per cent. At the pres. tnt 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 conse quence 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.

Guests are shown on the screen se cretly taking cinematograph records of themselves riding and walking: or standing about, langhing and chat- ting in places where smart, people congregate, =” The victim’s gayety is often some- what forced when an awkward ges- ture 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 hate one’s domestic joys, such! as marriages and christenings, cine matographed 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.

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 po- Yicemen. The late king’s instruc tions 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 Barnct—a ‘happy illustration of the principle that, the king can do no wrong. The royal drivers do not rely on a motor horn alone. Along- side them on the box there sits a footman, who plays a key bugle to’ announce the approach of the car.— Tit-Bits. 2 BY THE APPRENTICE SYSTEM. There is some talk of teaching: girls domestic work by tho appren= tice system, according to the Landon! 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 ‘thoréugh honsekeeper. The latter will receive a fee“of $50 in return for the girl’s food, board and in- etruction in plain cooking for three’ months, MEMORIALS OF GEN. WOLFE.

A woman who carries herself well, no matter if she is not blessed with regular features, can always claim some attention. A graceful gait usually goes with a good figure. A good figure, however, is really the outcome of bodily polise, and every girl should endeavor to obtain both. It is difficult to convey to the minds of most young women and girls the importance of walking and standing correctly. In some way, when standing incorrectly, one is throwing more than the requisite weight of the body on some delicate internal organ; and after years of incorrect standing and sitting one need not wonder at the various afflictions and complaints which are bound to follow. Learn to have a free, well-polished carriage. Hold your body erect. Get the feeling of freedom. To gain this sense of freedom there are various exercises which will loosen the muscles and help you to a feeling of graceful ease and poise. Here are some rules which will prove beneficial to follow: Don't keep your eyes on the ground when walking. Keep them on a level. Don't walk with the weight on the heels. Walk so that the weight falls on the balls of the feet. Don't wear high heels for walking. Wear low heels, which leave the body in its natural position. Don't walk with the body inclined forward. Bend neither forward nor backward, but keep the spine erect. Don't hold the chest so inflated that it becomes an effort. Don't wear your clothing so tight that it interferes with your breathing. Don't sit on the base of your spine. Don't sit with your knees apart. They should always touch. SEWING. An important thing to remember in running a sewing machine is to have a chair of exactly the right height. The neglect of this detail has been the means of giving a bad name to many a willing thing of steel and iron, for if the seat is too low the operator not only gets very tired, but the machine runs-nollsily and heavily. All the stores now carry packages of embroidery. The package or big envelope contains the material for the article already stamped and the cotton or silk for working it. This allows a great saving of time, since the purchaser does not have to buy material, hunt up a pattern, order it stamped and then select the silk. The packages are inexpensive, many of the nainsook corset covers costing but 25 cents. Among the articles which these packages contain are corset covers, drawers, aprons, baby's caps, sofa pillows, etc. PETTICOATS AND COTTON MILLS. "I'm very old-fashioned," said the charming young matron. "I wear petticoats and love my husband." It is those who do not wear petticoats who are charged with ruining the dry goods trade. It was an able distributor of white cotton goods who was talking at the Seltwyn. "Formerly," he said, "a woman would year two or three articles of cotton underwear. Now she wears the fig leaf with one silk or near-silk petticoat and one hobble skirt. A modern fashion woman is sure leaving cotton cloth to the heathen. Figure it up if you like and see what it all means. There are about 30,000,000 women and girls in the United States. Curtail their consumption of cotton goods by five yards apiece. This average is not too much, I think. It means leaving 150,000,000 yards of cotton goods on the merchants' counter." "My wife," continued the orator, "don't use as much petticoat stuff as she used to by 40 or 50 yards a year. We will men and dry goods distributors must pray for the return of the good old way where wives love their husbands and wear petticoats."—Charlotte Chronicle. MILLINERY NOTES. Large and small turbans of supply straw, handmade, are being shown in the shops. The crows are high and the trimmings make them more so. Black and white combinations for early spring are very pronounced. In both straws and trimming this is good. Black and white lace is used for huge bows or for surface coverings on large shapes. Ribbon in black-and-white checks and stripes is used on plain shapes for wear.with tailored suits. Pliable hoods for motoring are of flexible hemp, silk or straw, and are combined with suede and chamois or satin. Small bonnets of silk are being shown. They are of the early Victorian shape. The brim is "scoped" and very close-fitting. Draped crowns projecting toward the back are used. These full, soft-crowns allow for the present mode of hairdressing. Large flowers are used as extensively as small ones. Black and white poppies, of silk and velvet are being shown. Wings, quills and gorgeous plumes are used as trimming. The hatbirds in most of the new spring models turn up from the face. Last of all, fashion is lenient, suiting all types. COCOA FUDGE. This is prepared as follows; Put one-fourth of a coffeecupful of milk and a teaspoonful and a half of butter in a sancepan and, when the butter has melted, add a heaping coffeecupful of powdered sugar, exactly nine teaspoonfuls of cocoa and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring constantly until the ingredients have blended, then, with only occasional stirring, continue to cook about eight minutes, or a trifle longer, if necessary. As soon as the syrup "strings," remove it from the fire, add vanilla to taste; set the saucepan into cold water and beat—not too hard—until it begins to thicken perceptibly. Cool in buttered tins. When half cold mark in squares. If desired, nut meats or candied fruits may be chopped and added to this "fudge" at the same time that the flavoring extract is introduced. HIGHWAY TO HAPPINESS. To be calm when others about you are troubled; to dream and yet not be mastered by them; to think and yet not make thoughts an end; to meet triumph without pride and disaster without being embittered; to walk with the many and keep virtuous; to hold converse with the mighty and yet not lose the common touch; to be influenced neither by the criticism ofoes nor the flattery of friends; to endeavor to be of service and helpfulness to others; to keep in mind the transiticons of life's experiences; to love humanity and to trust in God—these are guideposts on the highway to happiness.—A. T. Fowler. FAITHFULNESS COUNTS. The man who is always doing things with a view of making a reputation, succeeds only in obtaining nooriety; while he who never thinks of anything but duty secures a reputation without being aware of it. A young man who shunned publicity and who did his work as he thought, out of sight of the world, recently passed away. In his last illness he was surprised to learn of crowds who came to express their sympathy—many of them people of whom he had never heard. They had quietly watched his quiet work, and knew him not by the efforts to make himself known, but by his efforts to be faithful. HOUSEHOLD HINTS A delicious salad may be made from the young sprouts of oyster plant. It is best served with French dressing. Figs soaked over night in claret and then cooked in the wine until tender are delicous served cold with whipped cream. Shredded cabbage and diced celery in equal parts made a fine salad combination, served with either mayonnaise or boiled dressing. Offentimes the crepe paper which is used to cover the unsightly flower pot becomes stained when the plant is watered. An excellent way to prevent this is to first wrap the pot with paraffin paper or a piece of table oil-cloth. A tasty salad is served in pepper shells. Slice off the top and the bottom of sweet green peppers; stuff them with diced chicken or veal dressed with mayonnaise. Serve on a bed of lettuce with a strip of the green paper, stuffed olives, chives and celery for a garnish. Pour mayonnaise over all. Cold chicken or turkey is the basis of a tasty dish. Put thinly cut slices of the meat in a dish together with a little cooked sphagetti, a few mushrooms, a little grated cheese, the whole moltened with cream sauce and covered with bread crumbs. The dish is set in the oven till the crumbs are well browned. When soup is poor try the addition of grated cheese. It will give richness and flavor. If when cooking bacon one is careful not to let the fat-burn it may be kept for frying, and for fish will answer as well as the bacon itself. A tasty way of using left-over boiled rice is to put a piece of butter in the frying pan and adding the rice when the butter sizzles. Fry until brown. To bake potatoes quickly, boll them in salted water for ten minutes, then put them in the oven. The boiling water will heat them through and they will cook in a short time. Don't stitch skirt seams all in one direction; the blas side should be held under the straight edge, which means that the seams of half the skirt should be stitched from top to bottom and the other half from bottom to top. Warm bread or cake, and, in fact, warm food of any kind, should never be put away in a covered tn or dish. The steam makes molding certain. Vegetables become soggy and unfit for food when treated in this careless manner. To wash a piece of chamols put in tepid water with soap, pearline or borax, rinse well in clear water, and while drying puil frequently from all les, make it soft and pliable. Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and go to enter into His Glory-2 73 The prophets of Israel had foretold and Christ himself had predicted that the son of man shall go up to Jerusalem, be betrayed into the hands of men, be put to death and the third day rise again. His apostles did not understand this necessity upon which their master so often spoke and by which he must establish his kingdom through suffering and death. Their minds, owing to their Judahic ideas about the Messiah, were filled with visions of wondrous wealth, mighty thrones and earthly greatness, and they looked forward to a glorious earthly kingdom. His undoing by the great men of their nation, who had conceived for him hatred and bitterness, meant for them the dashing aside of the high hopes aroused in them of the powerful kingdom which was to lead the people in triumph over their persecutors and oppressors. They seemed unable to comprehend that all the grandeur and magnificence of his life, all the usefulness and benefits of his works; all the grace and truth to come to men through him, were impossible without the accomplishment of the prophecies and predictions concerning his death and resurrection. But we see it now. "Christ is the same today as he was yesterday and will remain the same forever"—he is imperishable, because he was put to death and rose again the third day. His religion has made itself a living and active factor in the world's history and events; it has effected and does effect wondrous transformations in human lives; it has obtained a commanding position of influence and confidence from which it has exercised undoubted control over manifold directions of human industry and activity; it has led civil government, social customs, relations international and private, in a plain and ever-constant moral progress, because it has borne aloft the image of Christ crucified, and his religion has centered in and around his sacrifice on Calvary. The kingdom of God has won and drawn countless into its fold, proving a home to them amid the world's coldness and heartlessness, a sure refuge from numerous conflicts around them, a safe haven in the midst of afflictions, sorrows and toll; it has been the sphere in which men and women have been led to seek first and foremost his kingdom and its justice, to throw aside the service of mammon, to give up all things and to follow Christ, yielding and opening their souls to the quickening of the holy spirit—walking in his footsteps and taking upon themselves his yoke, to feel the inflowing of his very life into theirs. It inspired the breaking with all that could fetter the soul in its upward soaring, a complete self-committal to the highest the soul could see and the concentration of inmost powers toward a divine union; and all this was possible only because the cross of Christ was planted deep in the world and in human hearts and became the irresistible force drawing all things to him. When that great man of destiny, Napoleon, who had overawed Europe by the force of his genius and the terror of his name, conquered huge armies and destroyed formidable combinations, enthroned kings and created emperors, established monarchies and set up principalities, whose name was a synonym of force, audacity, genius, warlike spirit and martial enterprise, was asked why he had not established a new religion, and as he had changed the face of Europe politically, so also changed its religion and made his own ideas and spirit prevail in the religious life of the country, he answered that: it would have been necessary for him to have been crucified and to rise again the third day. St. Paul long before had seen in the crucified Jesus of Nazareth an intensity and unspent fullness, a power of redemption and salvation, of regeneration and upbuilding, a fertility for the holiest advancement and the most prolific endeavor, and he threw his whole soul with all his talents and energy into the propagation of the knowledge of him "who being consummated became to all who obeyed him the cause of eternal salvation." He boasted: "I judge not myself to know anything among you but Jesus Christ and him crucified." We preach Jesus Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling-block, and to the Gentiles foolishness, but to them who are called the power of God and the wisdom of God." Were it not for the accomplishment of what had been foretold by the prophets and predicted by Christ regarding his passion and death, the fame of Jesus would not have passed the boundaries of his native town or extended beyond the confines of his own nation; the supernatural character of his deeds, the divine spirit of his life, would not and could not have been recognized, and his name would now be but a remote memory, or a far-distant dream. His glory, which is imperishable; his institutions, which are indestructible; his words, which preserve undying vitality and potency, owe it all to his exaltation on the cross. He himself whenever he referred to his approaching agony and sorrows indicated that such would be the result. For in that connection he always said; "The hour count's when the Son of Man shall be glorified."- And the night before his death he began his solemn prayer by reminding his Father that the hour is come and saying: "Glorify thy Son that thy Son may glorify thee." His actual demise was a miracle. It occurred at the moment in the manner and amid the circumstances he willed. It was an act of perfect: submission to God; but it was more—it was an act of his own will. He kept himself alive on the cross for three hours because he willed it so. When the hour had passed and death at last overcame him, it was simply because he wished it so. He never lost command of his powers, and he gave up the ghost free, entirely and supremely to his own Master. He had said: "No man taketh away from me my life. I lay it down myself. And I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it up again." The evangelists are careful to write, not that he died by a passive action which he could not control, but that he gave up the ghost—he expired. Hence St. Augustine remarks: "The spirit of the Mediator left not his body against his will, but because of it, when he willed and as he willed it; for man was blended with the word of God." The most tremendous mystery of all history is this event of our Saviour's passion, and is incomprehensible unless we see in it title to honor and reverence and the foundation of his influence and power through which he has reached and touched the deepest possibilities of character and achievement. These are days when all true Christians should ponder on the Saviour's dolorous but glorious passion, not so much in sorrow as in sympathy and love; rendering thanks giving and glory to God, who therein commendeth his charity toward us that "when we were sinners according to the time Christ died for us because he loved us and delivered himself for us." THE TRAGEDY In Edward Sheldon's "The Nigger" (Macmillan), the proud governor finde out that he has a drop of African blood. A white man, long a friend to colored people, gives the following advice to the fallen idol: All you've got t' do, son, is fall in line. Theah's no good tryin' to stop a 'big ocean wave, you know, an' you might jus' as well do that as stan' up against democracy an' humanity an' civilization—an' a lot of othah good things with long names. . . . Ev'y niggah's a man. You and me have had mo' time t' push ahead—that's the only difference between us! We're all men an' we're all doin' the same thing—stumblin' and fallin' t' gethah, on our jou'n' t' God. So theah's no use sayin' the las' ranks ain't got no business t' go wheah the fiist are leadin' 'em. I reckon, suh, that ain't square play! . . . Try an' like like the nfgahas. That don't mean sayin' they 'ah's good as you—it's one to a 'million they ain't! But hatin's the ol' way o' gettin' roun' the folks that bothah ye- likin's up-to-date! So crack a smile, sonny, an' stick out yo' han's, an', all pull t' gethah—top an' bottom—rch an' po' black an' white! The governor resigns his office and gives up his still faithful flansee, and accepts the situation: Heah is our American people an' they've done a big, wrong thing—stealin' the niggahs from Africa an' bringin' en' ovah heah fo' theah own selfish use—an' a thing like that couldn't help endin'—as it has ended—in bloody to'ment! We're a-sufferin' it now, but d'you think it's goin' l'last? D'you think we're not a-goin' trise up from it a strongah an' a wisah an' kindah people? D'you think it's not wo'n a thousand times ovah!—what would be the use o'strugglin' an' lirvin' any longah? Why shouldn't evry one get rid of it all by takin' a headah right into the dak?

Behold when a man on a trolley car removed his hat the other day little Willie observed that he was bald—yes, very bald, for not a single hirsute rambler trailed over his shining pate. But when it came to whiskers the bald party was right there with the iliacs. He had whiskers in bundles, whiskers in stacks; in fact, he bad enough whiskers to start a rat factory and make a fortune. "Say, mamma," finally remarked Willie, turning to his mother, "just look at that man there." "Hush, dear!" returned mamma; "he will hear you. What's the matter with him?" "Everything is the 'matter with him," replied the youngster. "When the angels made him they put his head on inside down." A Conservative Estimate.

SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, TO HAVE SCHOOL PATTERNED AFTER TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE. TRACT FOR SITE DONATED Institution for Industrial Instruction Will Have Ample Financial Savannah, Ga. (Special).—An industrial school for negroes, to be patterned after Booker T. Washington's institute at Tuskegee, Ala., will be established in Savannah by next September, if the plans of prominent negro educators and ministers do not miscarry. A tract of twenty-two and a half acres located in Central Park, two miles on the White Bluff road, has been donated for this purpose, there being a proviso in the donation calling for the erection of a school building not to cost less than $3,000. The negro ministers of the Methodist church here have undertaken the task of carrying out the provisions of the gift. Rev. Richard D. Stinson, principal of the Atlanta Normal and Industrial Institute for Negroes of Atlanta, is in Savannah for the purpose of looking over the situation here. He has been urged to take the principalship of the proposed new school, and his inspection of the tract of land and investigation of the possibilities today will determine his acceptance or refusal of the proffered position. In the event of his refusal to accept the place he has promised to secure an efficient and capable man. The Atlanta school of which he is now heed is a strong one and is doing very effective work. It is doubtful if he would want to give up that school to become principal of the one here. He has confidence, however, that the new school in Savannah would prove a success, and he will closely identify himself with its organization whether or not he decides to become its principal. Reverend Stinson is one of the best trained and most prominent negro educators in the south, and the Savannah ministers who are behind the proposition feel they could not get a better man to launch the new school. That no difficulty will be experienced in raising sufficient money with which to erect school buildings on the donated tract is the opinion of Reverend Stinson. The school buildings will be modern in all lines, and will be especially adapted to the teaching of industrial vocations. No efforts will be made to teach literary or scientific subjects. The main aim of the school will be to elevate the negro race in this section industrially. The school will not be opened with less than 250 students, and a faculty large enough to teach this number the various industrial subjects will be employed. No better location for the new school could be obtained than the one in Central Park, in the opinion of those who are booming the proposition. The tract of twenty-two and a half acres is ample for all needs and for the future growth of the institution. The land was donated by a few months ago. R. H. Singleton and P. W. Greatheart, two Savanah ministers of the colored Methodist church, compose the committee which is directly in charge of the plans for the new school. NEGROES OF PALESTINE, TEXAS. ARE PROGRESSIVE Ten years have brought about a great change in Negro business enterprise of Palestine. More of the Negroes are owning homes, operating business houses, accumulating property and real estate and investing in various commercial projects. They have been awakened by the alarm industry, the new age that is being widely developed in the entire race. We have good, law-abiding citizens among us, that we know are appreciated by the best white citizens of this place on account of the favors received of them by the best Negro citizens. Grocery stores, dry goods stores, bank, printing offices, real estate business, all of which are thriving, owned and operated by Negroes, have made their appearance in this city within ten years. The white man in business has given the Negro in business assistance in various ways, and they bartar with each other in perfect tranquillity. -Palestine (Tex.) Plaindealer. THE LAW OF THY MOTHER. John Ruskin, in counting up the blessings of his childhood, reckoned these three for first goods Peace—he had been taught the meaning of peace in thought, act, and word; had never heard father's or mother's voice once raised in any dispute, not seen an angry glance in the eyes of either, nor had ever seen a moment's trouble or disorder in any household matter. Next to this he estimates obedience—he obeyed word or lifted finger or father or mother as a ship her helm, without an idea of resistance. Lastly, faith—nothing was ever promised him that was not given; nothing ever threatened him that was not inflicted, and nothing ever told him that was not true.—Standard. SPEAKERS URGE NEED OF INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION FOR COL- ORED YOUNG PEOPLE. Charleston, S. C. (Special)—An education mass meeting was held in Morris Brown A. M. E. church, in the interest of the Atlanta Normal and Industrial institute, Atlanta, Ga. Rev. L. R. Nichols, pastor, presided. He read a carefully prepared paper, setting forth the object of the meeting and stating that he was rapidly becoming an advocate of practical education for the masses of his race. He spoke of conditions that exist among a class that is becoming more detrimental to the other negroes' best interests wherever they live in large numbers. He commended the work of the Stinson school at Atlanta, that is being directed by prominent southern white men. Rev. H. W. B. Bennett discussed "The Many Ways by Which the Negro Can and Is Helping Himself." He pleaded for trained hands, a good character and a respectable home life. Rev. Randall Kemp discussed "The Necessity of Having Colored Teachers Train Colored Children." He said no person can so completely win a negro child as to improve his life and character as the negro instructor who enters his home, teaches him in the Sunday school, worships in the church with him and calls upon him when he is sick. Rev. M. M. Mouzon talked about "Southern Negroes Making the Best of Their Opportunities." He declared that while individuals had done and are now doing well and are a credit to the communities where they live, he was not at all satisfied with that large army of idlers in the streets, pool rooms, dives and places of sin and ignorance. The Rev. D. J. Jenkins pleaded with his race to help to care for the orphans. He said from among them have come some of the best men and women. The Rev. Richard D. Stinson, head of the Atlanta Normal and Industrial Institute, delivered the principal speech of the evening, pointing out the great need for practical education among the masses of the negroes and condemning the corruption which he said existed among certain negro preachers and teachers. The contribution was liberal. C. C. Leslie sent his check for $25; Mr. Wilson G. Harvey, $10, C. M. English $5, others giving smaller amounts. The $80 or $90 persons present appeared to enjoy the occasion. Benediction was pronounced by the Rev. J. S. Morgant. RAGE FEELING IN RELIGION The Crisis furnishes this bit of interesting news relative to the Salvation Army's attitude toward the negro: Race feeling which developed among the southern delegates to the Salvation Army conference held in Washington recently resulted in the abandonment for the time being of the army's plans for the organization of a movement among the colored people of the United States. A storm of protest went up from the officers from the south when a northern delegate proposed that white officers be required to conduct meetings among the colored people. They virtually declared they would not assume such duties, with the result that the committee appointed at the same meeting to draft a plan for the new work was discharged before it had time to commence work. Commander Evangeline Booth, head of the American Salvation Army, said before leaving for New York that if necessary a Salvation Army with colored leaders to conduct the meetings will be organized. "We thought it better to drop the matter temporarily," said Miss Booth, "owing to the feeling among our southern officers. "They have worked amid a vast colored population for years, and I presume they know more about the colored people than the rest of us. I have no criticism to make against them. Our plans were never matured. I think the matter was never formally discussed among us before. "There are practically no colored people engaged in Salvation Army work in this country. In India we have native officers in command, and I suppose it would be just as well, if not better, to have colored officers here. I am confident we shall accomplish a great deal for the general welfare." Nothing probably has been a greater handicap to the missionary efforts of the Christian church, especially the Protestant branches of it, than race prejudice. Just why Christianity should be more affected by questions of race and color than other religious is strange. Jesus Christ himself preached a religion of individual acceptance "unto all" was his command, and Peter found that God was no respecter of persons, but in every nation they that fear him and keep his commandments are acceptable. Why wonder at the unchecked dominance of Islam and why attempt to preach the gospel of Christ while wearing a robe of racial conceit and color prejudice? Asia and Africa will never yield until the true Christ spirit rules in the Christian churches everywhere. Speaking of the Salvation Army and the negro reminds us how surprised we were to meet three uniformed members of the "Army" of negro extraction last year in Louisville, Ky. While we had heard that in a few cities they were to be found, that was our first sight of them.—Star of Zion. ‘ARO-ANERGAN CULLINGS on the excursion this year. Suppose ‘we “cut out” the excursion altogether. ‘Times are tight, and we need the Iit- tle money we have to pay our debts, and to meet our expenses. The Light respectfully urges negro pastors, préachers and race leaders to use thelr influence to keep the negroes from wasting thelr money on excur- sions. Many negroes borrow money from the money lenders (pawning all thelr household goods) simply to ride on an excursion and hare a “big time” for two on three days. They come home and {t takes many of them 2 year or more of hard work to pay the money lender back fer the money bor- rowed for two or three days so-called pleasure trips. Again we say let us “cut out” the excursion, save our ‘money, pay our debts, educate our children, buy homes, start dry goods stores, shoe stores and other business eaterprises like the white people.

Unless some moral issue 13 at band, ft has been the conviction of the writer that no preacher has a right to dabble In politics.

It {s a caso “where Ignorance {s bliss, ‘tis folly to be wise.” They drag down rather than bulld up. But there fs a large minority who do credit to any race anywhere, and the Dispatch fs glad to note that that number is greatly In- cregsing, They are not those who bolleve that all you bave to do Is to open your mouth and it will be filled by some miraculous power, but that you must prepare by hard study in some theological seminary or college. And they are making it less popular for the ignorant ministers who put their hands in their ears and whoop and holler and tmagine they have preached a good sermon. Then, too, the younger race is being educated and are growing intelligent and will not have that Kind of stuff.

They seem to under- stand one another, and work for thé highest good of thelr patients. As to what the Negro editors are doing, we: only refer to the address delivered by Dr. Booker T. Washing- ton in New York before the Negro National Business league. Hoe told the truth when he sald, “that no peo- ple had made a greater sacrifice, are dolng.more good than the Negro ed- itors.” And he sald that they, of all people, “ought to receive the patron- age of our people.” He sald: “With- out these papers, Negro enterprises never could have made the progress which they have.” The true Negro paper not only serves its own race, but both races. For it cements the friendship be- tween them. Of course there are ex- ceptions. There are those that are calamity howlers, that always see the dark side rather than the bright. But the Dispatch is an optimist, and delleves in the future of the race. It furtber believes that the law-abiding and God-fearing among our white neighbors want us to succeed; and notwithstanding the rabld talks of the politician, we belleve that the Dest white people wish us well and that we will secure every right’ guar- anteed us by the state and federal constitutfons. The Dispatch further belleves that industrious, law-abldizg and God- fearing as many of our people are, need have any fear of thetr future. Let us not then be discouraged when things don't come our way at all times. Not every coloreéman who Is heard indorsing Negro enterprise, practices what he preaches, with bls pocket. book.

EQUALITY NOT WANTED CORNELL UNIVERSITY PEMALE STUDENTS MERELY WISHED MORE COMFORTABLE QUARTERS. Ithaca, N. ¥. (Spectal.)—Biss Ross Vassar and Miss Pauling A. Ray, the young colored women who have pro Yoked a race {seve at Cornell among ‘the coeds. dup to thelr efforts to se- cure rooms {n Sage college, have issued astatement denying that they are seok- ‘Ing socal equality. They declare that It fs immaterial to them whether thoy meet the white girls on the ‘same social plane or not. * Biss Vassar, whose bome fs in Lynchburg, Va., 1s & funior in the Col- lege of Arts and Sclences. Miss Ray, who comes from Genera, N. Y., is & sophomore In the same collegs. Both are good students. In their statement they denyctliat they have consulted ‘with any other negro student or taken advice ais to thelr course of action and are not trying to force the race ques- ton to an Issue. They say that-the first application to have rooms assigned to them in Sage college was made over a year ago. At that time Mrs, Gertrude A, Martin, the adviser of women of the unfversity and the. general supervisor ‘of the codds, told them that she hed taken the matter up with Emmons ‘Williams, the treasurer of the univer- sity, and they had decided that {t would not be expedient to have the girls room {n Sage college, which fs the only woman's dormitory. ‘The girls put In another application some time ago. They were moved to do so because they wanted to live nearer and {n a more convenlent place. The rooms they-are occupying now are about a mile and a half from the university, It is understood that Mf they could not get rooms in the Sake dormitory they would not be able to get near the campus, as It would be hard to find accommodations in the nearby rooming houses. "We aro not seeking social equal- ty,” they safd, “We would live In Sage college; as far as convenlence and comfort go we would ba as one with the rest of the glrls, but in all things tocial we would be as separate as two fingers on pne hand. We leave it to the trustees and believe they will give us justice, but we know that Henry W. Sage would give us Justice where he alive.” Henry W. Sage gave Sage college to the university. The trustees will meet here within a week or eo and they will have to decide this question, ‘as a petition protesting against al- lowing the two girls to room in Sage college has been filed with them. The petition has been signed by over 200 coeds, a majority of the number in the university. 7 MINISTER'S ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATED Durham, N. C.

SATURDAY, MAY 6, 1911 The other day leisurely passing down one of our principal thorough fares were two distinguished colored gentlemen. They both were men of exceptional educational ability and engaged in the same work, teaching. The one attracted attention on account of his immaculate appearance while the other was attired in a shabby suit, wore an unpolished pair of shoes, a celluloid collar and a hat which should have been passed its usefulness to a man whose station in life was far below the one in question and should have been discarded by him seasons ago. The former of these two distinguished gentlemen would command attention and respect in any gathering while the other would at no time be taken for one who has under his supervision in the school room every day from forty to fifty of our young men and women and to whom he is supposed to be an example. Of these two men there is nothing but contrast noticeable except that they are of one and the same book learning but by no means of the same influence in their communities. The one is shun-ned, laughed at and criticised because of his untidy appearance while the other is respected and honored as a man of good taste, high character and one worthy of the best association. The difference between the two men is one of personal appearance and it shows what a premium is generally placed upon it. In some things it is the face value of the thing that we take into consideration and in the matter of appearance this is undeniably the case. It is absolutely necessary that men both in public and private life make a good appearance for it is upon the outward show of a man that the majority of us make our estimate. A man should dress in keeping with his profession and there is nothing which is so unbecoming as a shabbily attired person whose standing in life calls for neatness and cleanliness in dress. A man should be a living, or better, a walking example of his profession when seen on the streets and there is no better way of the public in general judging a man than by the way he appears on the streets. It is not necessary for one to be a walking fashion sheet but it is demanded of our public men that they make a respectable showing If they wish to command respect. It costs but very little to be careful of our appearance but even this little is neglected too often by those who are held up to our young men and women as pro- they make a respectable showing If they wish to command respect. It costs but very little to be careful of our appearance but even this little is neglected too often by those who are held up to our young men and women as proper examples to follow and there is no better place for neatness and cleanliness in personal appearance to be practiced than in the school room where the character of our boys and girls is molded. It has been claimed both by some of our native born citizens and those who have migrated here from surrounding towns that Savannah affords more sources of pleasure and entertainment than any other city in the state. In one way of thinking the truthfulness of this statement cannot be denied. If by pleasure and entertainment we mean picnics, excursions, trolley rides, dances, and balls we heartily agree with those who sing Savannah's praises so high but when it comes to entertainments of a higher order, such as musical festivals, lectures and the more elevating form of entertainments weare far behind many other towns of the state. The character of the entertainments which we have given for the most part has been very mediocre and so much so that upon one or two occasions when we have had the privilege of listening to some thing high, elevating and pleasing we were really found wanting of appreciation. We have so often and so long satisfied ourselves with entertainments which were little more than make shifts that our tastes for something of a high order have really been lacking. A short while ago a certain artist upon her appearance here rendered a very catchy little song which called for strict attention and close following. It was a witty little ballad but it was something like a minute or two after the song had been finished that the majority of those present were able to catch the full meaning of the song and then they broke into raptuous applause, a rather delayed response and a very strong example of our dull sense of comprehension. But this condition of affairs may be easily remedied if we would but bestir ourselfs and endeavor to secure the services of our leading artists more often. There are many colored entertainers of a high order that we could have among us if we only get together and offer the proper inducements and it is well worth our time that we do this once in a while instead of allowing ourselves to be contented with so many entertainments of the same character. Charity Hospital Tag Day-Its Future Usefulness. Editor Editor Tribute. Dear Sir: I welcome heartily the article "Tag Day, Charity Hospital and a few other facts" in last week's issue of The Tribune. Taking it for granted that the facts given must have come from the superintendent of the hospital I, too, should like to lay bare a few facts and ask a few questions. Being a friend of the institution from its establishment, giving of my own means and inducing others to do likewise, it may not be amiss for me to question the manner in which some movements are forwarded and to offer some suggestions. I observe that the "staff," the "medical staff" is alluded to, frequently in your column recently. It couldn't be a hospital without medical men, but in spite of that they must have trustees or directors whose hearty cooperation they must have in order to make the plans succeed. An old proverb says: "Plan your work then work your plan." I think that the superintendent of Charity Hospital needs to take this to heart seriously so that all the movements launched in its behalf may be fraught with success. I doubt very much whether the "enthusiasm" referred to in last week's article was visible. Why? because in my humble judgment, the "Tag Day" movement was not planned properly. The getting up of successful entertainments for the benefit of institutions is a science, and no amount of medical skill and popularity (?) can augur success where you have "bum fungled" at the initial step. Monday of this week was the day set apart for "Tag Day" yet prior to that time I saw a few tags here and there. Although I was all over town on Monday—it was an ideal day for "tagging"—I saw no workers anywhere. I went out thinking that some lovely maiden would "hold me up" but I went in vain. The proper way should have been to have talked the matter over with the trustees of the hospital and with representative citizens, I understand that all of the ministers were consulted sdt as to work things up to "fever heat" by the real "Tag Day." Now, while there is nothing improper in the "Medical Staff" the "Faculty" or whatever the physicians connected with the institution term themselves, getting up entertainments for it I debut whether it is courteous and proper and just-that movements of any magnitude such as "Tag Day" should be gotten up without the knowledge and hearty cooperation of the Board of Trustees, a body connected with all sorts of institutions, and who stand at the back of the president, superintendent and other officials. I think I speak truly when I say that I don't believe that the Trustees of the Hospital were taken into counsel in this matter, hence the action is not only wrong but discourteous to those of us who has worked like "dogs" to keep it going. When it is considered that so many of our institutions have "gone to the bad" because of lack of harmony in action, and because of the "bullheadedness of some of our so-called "leading men" is it not true to profit by their disasters and not only to have due and courteous regard for our coworkers, but to inform them of our plans and invite them to meet with us and offer suggestions. Persons affected with the "Big Head" don't want suggestions from anybody, but the greatest and wisest and most successful men today are those who invite and crave the opinion of their associates. Secercy is alright in a way but in matters pertaining to the welfare of an institution dependent for the most part on the liberality of the public both trustees and the public at large need to be taken into the confidence of the physicians so that there'll be united action and success. It is said that "Truth is stronger then fiction" therefore I am aware that the few truths in this article may be questioned, but they are nevertheless true. I enjoy the friendship of a woman, a trustee of one of the largest colored hospitals in the country. She is what you'd call a "strong man." Her influence with both races is remarkable. She has been the "bone and sinew" of the institution. In speaking with her recently I asked her how the hospital was coming on, but she skillfully evaded all my questions, until at last she told me that the superintendent and other officials had been pursuing the wrong policy, hence her interest had waned. The next thing that shocked me was putting a price on the "tags." In all my observation I've never heard of such a thing. The amount is usually left to the generosity of the people. There are lots of grown people and children who will be anxious and glad to help but will be unable for want of a dime. Then while there are some people who may give more the general run will give what is asked for—simply that "and nothing more." The writer has been "tagged" again and again; in no case has any set price been demanded; it has always been "give what you please, Sir." There are few men in the medical profession who didn't work in hotels during the summer-to assist them in earning their term's tuition. Some of them were members of glee clubs that got up concerts for the guests. Did they charge any admission fee? You bet they didn't. They passed around "the hat" after the concert and in this way got ten or fifteen times more than if they had charged an admission fee. It is said of the late H. H. Rogers of the Standard "Oil Co." that on one occasion he want to and in the interests of Tuskegee, at which as was natural, Booker Washington spoke. As no contributions were taken up at the meeting he sent for Mr. Washington the next day and in the course of conversation said to him: See here I was waiting for you to pass around the hat last night but since you didn't here's some change for you, and he handed him twenty, one thousand dollar bills. The next feature in the "Médical Staff "Tag Day" are the prizes offered and which must have cost some money. I am neither an old foussl nor a "back number" even if my head is a bit white. It is perfectly legitimate and is common in some quaters, to offer prizes; and while there are those who delight in enfering contests and winning them they have enough soul left to regard them in this instance as an extravagant and unnecessary expenditure. On one occasion I was accosted in a distant city by two beautiful Savannah girls—mother and daughter who "tagged" me for a certain hospital. There was not a particle of reward in it. And if our Savannah girls can work gratuitously in hospitals in other cities it seems like a reflection on them to offer them prizes at home. If I understand rightly this "Tag Day" is for the purpose of raising money to extend the hospital, to make it larger and more serviceable. It a praiseworthy object indeed. But is it not wiser by far to liquidate first of all, the debt of several hundred dollars which has been dragging for years, than to press forward in other directions? Those of us who know what good medical attention means value to Charity Hospital highly and are ever ready to do all in our power for its progress and prosperity. But it can neither progress nor prosper if the superintendent ignores the trustees and other good friends who have always assisted the institution from its earliest days. The fact that patients and nurses have been fed on $75 a month prove that whoever is in charge of the commissary department at the hospital must be an excellent manager, and neither wasteful hor extravagant. I wish to call special attention to this paragraph in last weeks's article: "It has been presumed and said by many who did not know or take the pains to know that the physicians were the only ones benefited by the maintenance of Charity Hospital." I doubt whether the superintendent would really welcome the "pains" that I and some others would take to "find-out" the truth about some things. Speaking to an educated young woman in a neighboring city, who wished to take up nursing training, she asked me if I knew whether all the lectures were delivered regularly by all the physicians; if there was a regular "Clinic" where out door patients are treated daily; if the "house surgeon" when taking his round of duty scrubulously visits and treats the city patients. She also asked me if I knew anything of the methods by which private patients paid their fees for being a patient in a hospital, once she had paid the necessary fees to her physician who had pocketed the money instead of turning it over to the institution. Here's a chance for the superintendent to tell the whole truth to one who has taken "pains" to ask for it. The physicians may not receive any financial compensation for their services save from their private patients, but they are in inposition to secure what even money cannot buy—invaluable experience in medicine and surgery. Mention is made of the "salary" of the head nurse and the one dollar and the uniform given to under graduate nurses as though they were principally. I doubt whether the head nurse gets the compensation she deserves when it is considered that she is matron as well, and perhaps "orderly" too, for all I know. Most hospitals have one person for each of these positions. I fully agree with the writer of the article that "there is no good reason why Savannah with about forty five thousand colored population should not have a handsome, commodious hospital" but I disagree with him on the way in which he sets out to secure this "commodious" institution. The "medical staff" should do their best to work in perfect harmony with all the officials of the hospital so that it may "grow from strength to strength" and each year be a greater power for good in the community. "United" we stand, divided, we fall." I am sir. Yours truly, Dit Mers Ville. IN HIS HOLY TEMPLE. Interesting Services in The Churches of the City. Palen Dots.

In the morning the children made their first Holy Communion at the 8 o'clock Mass. The parents and friends of the little ones were present and witnessed the happiness of the children. In the evening we had the impressive May Processions; over a hundred children took part in it. The boys in red cassock and white surplices walked in front, followed by a large crowd of girls, dressed in white and wearing veils and wreaths on their heads; it was a pretty sight and the large congregation which was present seemed to be deeply impressed. The same procession will take place the last Sunday of the month. The whole month of May is consecrated by the Catholic Church to Mary, the mother of God, to whom every true Catholic has a great devotion. St. Philips Dots. Rev. C. B. Collins preached at 11 a.m., on last Sunday. His text was G. Paul's Letter to Galatian subject, "The Stigma." It is a pleasure to hear Rev. Collins. His discourses are full of good thoughts. Rev. A. B. B. Gibson, State Supt. of the A. C. E. League preached at 8:30 p.m. This is Rev. Gibson's first visit to St. Philips. The congregation was very much impressed with his sermon. A collection was taken for the Library Association on last Sunday. On account of some other matters it was not as large as we desired it to be. Quite a large crowd was out Wednesday night of last week to hear the Poetical and Dramatic reading by Prof. McGirt. We are sorry to note the death of Mrs. Bynum who was buried from St. Philips on Thursday of last week. Our monthly love feast was held on last Friday night. One hundred captives were appointed on Tuesday night last to organize clubs for our next rally which will be on Sunday May 28th. Every member must become a member of one of these clubs. Each club is expected to raise $25.00 each. There must be a president, vice-president and a secretary for each club. Get busy, the time is fast approaching. Dr. C. B. Tyson was elected a trustee in the place of Brother A. W. White on Tuesday night. The various clubs of our church are having entertainments of various kinds. The public is invited to patronize these clubs. The proceeds go for the benefit of the the Building fund. Mrs. R. I. Singleton returned from the Womans Home and Foreign Missionary General Conference which was held in Birmingham, Ala. Mrs. Singleton made a glowing report from that great body of women and the great interest that is being taken in mission work. The following services will be held on tomorrow, Sunday; prayer meeting at 5:30 a.m., preaching at 11 a.m., baptism of children and adults, 2:45 p.m., Sunday School, 4 p.m., Communion, 8:15 preaching, A.

Johnson: Every now and then you give the ministers Some hard raps ‘about preparing themselves by dilivent study for their saered calling as well as about being Strictly moral men. That's all right Bro. Johnson, we ad- mire you for your manly and courage- ous siand. But I want to remind_ you that there's another class of protessions! Re that need proddinga little—doctors; Avhat about their conduct? Does the practice of their profession give them the license to disregard all sense of decency and morality. ‘Years ago in this city, there was a young colored physician. He wore 2 silk hat and drove a splendid pair of horses: but fast women and drink sent him to the devil. _ I rejoice that in our midst there are some real gontlemanlfand decent prac- titioners I fear that this cannot be said of all. Bro, Johnson I hope that this “word to the wise is sufficient.” Yours truly, Patrician. TRUE REFORMERS’ LICENSE RENEWED ® Biggest Colored Order in Coun« ‘try Allowed to Resume Its Business.

Button of Virginia, that he had deter- mined to renew the license of the Unit. ed Order of True Reformers which has been suspended since last October. © Considering the embarrassments of the organization, the members of the True Reformers have been loyal to it ina manner which is actualy touching. They have recently raised, (#40:00) forty thousand dollars which will be used to pay off the accumulated death claims, Yt"is ealeulated that within a ‘year ail claims will have been paid, and the order will be again on its feet, The failure of the bank and the suspension of our licénse were hard blows, and it would be unreasonable for us not. to expect some of our members to be dis- couraged, but we implore the loyal members of Savannah Division {0 take fresh courage and do all in their power to rebuild the organization.

Anita Patti Brow nat her rece concert in the lecture room of the Sec ond Baptist Church, was charmed with her singing, but disguste¢ thoroughly so, with the “Master of Ceremonies” who during the entire concert as he announced the selections chewed wax like an. ox chewing its cud. We are often taken to task and ipstly so in some instances for-our indifferences in these affairs. But is it fair to expect our people of refined tastes who patronize these concerts to be subjected to an indigni- ty like the one in question. If ‘the “Master of Ceremonies” lacked skill to “doctor” himself for indigestion I be- lieve that that is no excuse commonly given by some who use the “wax!” le could have taken some “Hope's Mixture” some cooking soda or even a stiff drink of good Jamaica rum either of which would have reached jhe difficulty aud afforded himself re- lief.

The Wage Earners Loan and Investment Cc., Phere 1198 468 WES : BROAD ST. LYON IS APPOINTED LIBERIAN MINISTER HEGRO STATESMAN WILL REPRESENT THE AFRICAN REPUBLIC IN WASHINGTON. Tender of Office Indication of High Regard in Which Doctor Lyon is Held. Washington.—(Special.)—Rev. Dr. Ernest Lyon, who served as United States minister and consul general at Monrovia, Liberla, from the spring of 1903 until last June, has been tendered the appointment as consul general of Liberla at Washington. The offer is rendered the more important as an indication of the high regard the Liberians have for Doctor Lyon has taken shape in their asking him to represent them with a nation of which he was formerly the accredited diplomatic representative. The commission, which was signed by President Arthur Barclay and Secretary of State F. E. R. Johnson, is already in Doctor Lyon's hands. In a letter notifying Doctor Lyon of the unusual appointment, Secretary Johnson writes: "I have the honor to send you here with a commission appointing you consul general of the republic of Liberia at Washington, U. S. A. In performing this pleasant duty I avail myself of the opportunity to congratulate you on your appointment to this important post in which you can do much for the promotion and the advancement of the people of this country. The interest manifested by you during your stay here in the welfare of the republic convinces me that his excellency, the president, made no mistake in electing you for the post. I am confident that you will do all in your power to enhance Liberia's welfare and that your relations with the department will be of the most harmonious and cordial character." Dr. Lyon is a man of ability. He received his education at the New Orleans university and the Union Theological seminary of New York. He also has been an instructor in his alm mater and at Morgan college, Baltimore. Among the prominent churches he has pastored are St. Mark's, New York, and the John Wesley M. E. churches, Baltimore. It was while serving at the latter charge that President Roosevelt appointed him to the Liberian mission. While in that country he made an exhaustive study of the political material resources. He succeeded in having the United States send a commission, composed of Roland P. Faulkner, Emmett J. Scott and George Sale, to that country in order that conditions might be investigated at first hand. The commission aroused much interest in the welfare of the Little West African republic and efforts are now being made to place it upon a firm financial footing. The efforts of Dr. Lyon for the republic of Liberia and the general estimate there of the man may be best judged by the following extract from a letter that Bishop J. B. Hartzell sent to Dr. Lyon a few weeks ago: "In the success of your work as the diplomatic representative of the United States to Liberia you have fulfilled, and more than fulfilled the anticipations of your friends; and in social standing, Christian character, intellectual vigor and successful diplomatic administration your record will stand out as one of the brightest pages. In the history of Liberia, and as in every way worthy of the great nation of which you were the representative." THE LACK OF LOYALTY MEGROES ARE LACKING IN THIS ESSENTIAL OF PROGRESSIVENESS. On account of the Negro's past condition in servitude and his present situation relative to rights and equality in this country, a good number have become discouraged, and the lack of loyalty is practiced in many cases by them. This is a step most detrimental to a race, contending and striving for a place of respect and equality among the superior. Every effort should be used in stamping out this evil of disloyalty, through the Negro press, pulpit and organizer. The white man has been in the same condition, but it took many years to unfold those precious bounties that were laid up for him—citizenship and freedom. Abide by the laws, do not uphold or protect those who voluntarily, maliciously and without a just cause, disobey them. Go ahead and say nothing, and the end will work out all right. Loyalty to one another is needed more by the Negro than any existing race. They are scattered and will not eling together in many instances. And as long as they fall apart, the chances are slim for a powerful race of black men in America. As a rule the Negro will not support his own enterprises, he'd rather support those of other races, and he seeks to overthrow the Negro in business by disseminating improper and untrue remarks among the people, that are in most cases emphatically impressed upon their minds. You must wipe out this grudge and prejudice among yourselves. You must deal with one another as other races do, and be loyal. A FARMING COMMUNITY DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA, HAS MANY NEGRO ENTERPRISES. An article by Principal Washington entitled, "Durham, North Carolina, a City of Negro Enterprises." appears in the Independent. We quote here-with a few paragraphs. For a number of years I have made what I have called "Educational Pilgrimages" through various southern states, including Arkansas, Oklahoma, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, Delaware and North Carolina. These tours have been undertaken for the purpose of seeing for myself something of the progress being made by the Negro people of these various states, the actual relations existing between the races, and also for the purpose of saying whatever I can to help cement friendly relations between the races. Both races in the south suffer at the hands of public opinion, because the outside world hears of its disgrace, its crimes, its mobs and lynchings. But it does not hear very much about the many evidences of racial friendship and good will which exist in the majority of the communities of the south. I do not believe that one can find another section of the globe where two races which are dissimilar in many respects dwell in so large numbers where they get on better in all the affairs of life than they do in our southern states. The last of these trips was made through the state of North Carolina during the fall of 1910. I was unusually impressed with the general prosperity of the colored people in the rural villages and smaller towns. Farms, truck farms, well-kept grocery stores, thriving drug stores, insurance houses, and beautiful though modest homes greeted me continually. Again and again I expressed to the Negro business men in charge of my trip that here were in many ways the most encouraging signs of Negro development that I had seen. But again and again, as often as I said this there would come back from several members of the party the answer, "Walt till you get to Durham." Now, Durham is one of the large cities of North Carolina, and knowing from my early experiences something of the superficial and hand-to-mouth living of the average city Negro, I became more and more curious to see what Durham had in store for me. In addition to many prosperous doctors, lawyers, preachers and men of other professions, I found some of the most flourishing drug stores, grocery and dry goods stores I had ever seen anywhere among Negroes. I found here the largest Negro insurance company in the world, with assets amounting to $100,000 owning its building, a large three-story structure, and being operated with nothing but Negro clerks and agents. Here is located the Durham Textile and the Whitted Wood Working Company, manufacturers of doors, window frames, mantels and all kinds of building materials. Here, too, is the Union Iron Works Company, a Negro company which manufactures general foundry products, turning out plows, plow castings, laundry heaters, grates and castings for domestic purposes, and it was refreshing to learn that in this enterprise as in others that I shall mention there was no evidence of the color line drawn on the part of purchase. Each groceryman, each textile manufacturer, each tailor, in fact, all the Negro tradesmen and business men, numbered many white customers among their most substantial purchasers. I began by this time to believe that Durham was a city of Negro enterprises, and quite convinced now, I was ready to go home, but they wanted to show me one more successful Negro plant. This was the plant known as the Durham Textile Mill, the only hosiery mill in the world entirely owned and operated by Negroes. Regularly incorporated, they operate eighteen knitting machines of the latest pattern, working regularly twelve women and two men and turning out seventy-five dozen pairs of hose each day. The goods so far are standing the test in the market, being equal in every way to other hose of the same price. They are sold mainly by white salesmen, who travel mostly in North Carolina, New York, Indiana, Georgia, South Carolina and Alabama, and again, so far as I have heard, there has been no man to raise the color question when he put on a pair of these hose made by Negroes. Aside from these flourishing enterprises Durham had many, individuals, such as tradesmen and contractors, who were shining examples of what a colored man may become when he is proficient and industrious." A JULIET CAP IN LACE. Among the new Irish crochet concelts are jabots of the lace combined with net, which gives a filmy effect not possible with linen. A charming little "Jullet" cap was of the lace with big outstanding roses crocheted in the web. Beneath the scallops a full ruche of pink tulle was fastened and a dainty wreath of pale blue forget-me-nots and pink rose buds was caught just above the scallops, with a knot of the flowers and drooping buds just behind the left ear. * Half sleeves of the lace, crocheted to fit the arm from elbow to wrist, with yoke and collar in one to match, are all the trimmings needed on a silk gown and give it an air of distinction not obtainable by elaborate adornment. Whole waists and coats in all lengths are among the handsome developments of the Irish crochet fad. WHERE JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER HIDES BULK OF HIS IMMENSE TREASURE New York.—The long and closely guarded secret as to where John D. Roskeffell preserves his stacks of stocks and bonds has been disclosed at last. The bulk of his immense treasure of collateral, estimated at $200,000,000, is in a specially constructed bomb, burglar and fire proof vault built under the northeast corner of the New York Produce exchange. Entrance to it is gained from Beaver street, a stone's throw from the Standard Oil headquarters, at 26 Broadway. Between the street opposite and the respositories of the Rockefeller fortune are ten locks varied in character. Once in front of the iron vault, the largest of its kind in the world devoted to collecting the properties of a single person, there is on view a cage not at all unlike that in which Captain Dreyfus was confined at Devil's island. Two of the locks are padlocks, one upon each of the two combination locks visible from the exterior from the closed door of the vault. These two padlocks she usually opened with a key in the hands of President William H. Person of the safe deposit company, which turning, releases the dial of each of the common locks, and permits the latter to be set by two men from Mr. Rockefeller's private office. One of the two is Mr. Rockefeller's financial secretary, while the other is a man he trusts equally as well. Each has a different combination to the lock. There are six tumblers on each lock. The numbers run from 1 to 100, which makes each lock susceptible to one or many changes. The only way to change the numbers of Mr. Rockefeller's vault is to know the old numbers. As for the men who open the upper and the lower combination lock, neither of the two can set his part of the bolts of the iron door until the padlocks have been released by the third. It is impossible for anybody to pick these combination locks. The door of the vault is moved by hand and it opens easily, owing to its swinging upon a compound double goose crane hinge, which is carefully balanced on ball and roller bearings, made of the finest hardened tool steel. This permits the door to swing lightly, although it has the weight of nine tons. The interior of the vault is nine feet wide, nine feet high and fifteen feet deep. The wall of the vault has a thickness of forty inches. In the center of 36 inches of concrete are 30-pound steel rails, set six inches apart in double rows, interlocked so as to be practically three inches apart. The remaining four inches of the wall are four inches thickness of solid steel. Looking towards the interior of the vault there are arranged upon either side numerous compartments of small safes. There are from fifteen to twenty of these varying in sizes. Two combination locks guard each. Having swung back the steel door of one of the inner chests, there are revealed small sheet steel boxes of a thickness of one-sixteenth of an inch. There are four of these, as a rule, in each chest. They are equipped with a hinge and lid and key box. The last turn of the key opens one of the sheet steel boxes. In one of these inner side compartments is a card index which registers the bonds with their dates of maturity and the months when the coupons come off. THE FIRST THIMBLE. The thimble is a Dutch invention and was first brought to England by one John Lofting, who began its manufacture at Islington, in 1695. Its name was derived from the words "thumb" and "bell." Originally it was called "thumbell," then "thumble" and finally "thimble." It is recorded that thimbles were first worn on the thumb, but we can scarcely conceive how they could be of much service so used. Formerly thimbles were made of brass and iron only, but now they are shown in gold, silver, steel, horn, ivory and even glass. There is a thimble owned by the queen of Siam that is shaped like a lotus bud, the royal flower. It is of gold, thickly studded with diamonds, and is held to be the most costly article of the kind in the world. In Naples very pretty thimbles, composed of lava from Mount Vesuvius, are occasionally sold, but rather as curiosities than as articles of real utility, being, by reason of the extreme brittleness of the lava, very easily broken. LOBSTER NEWBURG. Cut the meat of a two-pound lobster into one-inch cubes and put them on the stove in a small, shallow stewpan. Add to it a gill of dry sherry, a quarter of a level teaspoonful of salt, as much red pepper as may be taken up on the point of a penknife, and a few grains of grated nutmeg. Slimmer gently for three minutes. Then add two eggs very well beaten with a cupful of cream. Stir continuously until the sauce coats the spoon. Remove from the stove immediately, pour it into a small tureen, made hot for the purpose, and send to the table. TO WASH BOTTLES. To wash water bottles or any vase having a long neck, fill with clear, hot water and tiny bits of torn paper. Shake well and rinse in clear water. PESSIMISM IS PRACTICALLY AN UNKNOWN, FORCE AMONG AFRO-AMERICANS. The Prairie View Standard says in a recent issue: "The negro pessimist has long been with us, though he has not known himself by that name. The negro pessimist has no faith in any undertaking of his own race; he is always criticising or denouncing the preachers and the churches of his race, because it is a safe thing to do. He never takes stock in any negro enterprise. He never subscribes for a negro newspaper. When any enterprise is started he immediately predicts its failure, and does all he can make it fall. But the influence of the negro pessimist is waning." Commenting upon this, State Press of the Dallas News says: "This is a new view of the negro. It has been generally understood heretofore, at least among the white folks, that there were no negro pessimists. Optimism has been the colored man's best asset, according to the Caucasian idea. Through drought and flood, through fire and famine, the black man has gone his way, serenely confident of the future, to all appearances, and wholly contented with the present. Many men of the other color have envied the Afro-American, his easy mental attitude in times of stress. Millionaires in gilded carriages have looked through their French plate glass at the happy black man welding a pick in the streets and wished that the laborer's fine freedom from carping care might be transplanted into their own bosoms. The mistress of many a palatial home has longed for the restful philosophy that characterized the 'black mammy' in the kitchen. If the negro is beginning to be a pessimist, then he is losing his birthright." Pessimism is practically an unknown force among negroes. The Standard evidently mistakes criticism for pessimism. During the past few years—a good many things, long regarded as too sacred for adverse comment, have been subjected to fearless but well-intentioned criticism among negroes. Here and there, it will be admitted we have a few—a very few—preachers who have had no more preparation for their work than a mule, and who make up in clatter for what they lack in matter, who substitute sound for sense—thunder for lightning, and under whose teaching the race is not getting anywhere morally, spiritually or intellectually—and somebody has had the hardlhood to say so. Here and there a few men of God have shown more eagerness for the dollar than for souls—and somebody has said so. Here and there a colored man has gone into business and hoped to succeed by virtue of his color. He has been urged to revise his business creed and to get in the game, leaving his color out of the question. That's the sort of pessimism that is now prevalent. Thinking men have seen that the race is long on church building, but is decidedly short on factory building. And somebody has said so. Here and there a few secret orders, useful in themselves, have been used by designing men to enrich themselves at the expense of the many—and somebody has had the nerve to say so. Here and there people have thought that when men organize a bank or other commercial enterprise and bid for public support, the organizers ought to have some money, some business capacity and some—honesty. These things have been voiced by fearless critics who who were looking for no office and who were indifferent alike to applause or blame. That's the kind of pessimism that our contemporary has in mind, and it is as different from the real article as night is from day. The negro is not losing his optimism. He's more of an optimist now than ever, because he needs to be. But along with that optimism he's becoming sufficiently keen sighted to know that every sermon is not "great;" every speech is not "grand;" every enterprise or scheme originated by negroes is not necessarily founded on strict business principles; every public uplifier is not necessarily an angel, and that every appeal made in the name of "race pride" is not necessarily unselfish. The critics who have been radiating this sort of "peasantism" have been making conditions better for every negro of brains and worth, and for every honest enterprise an dendeavor struggling for recognition and a foundation upon which to stand. They have simply tried "To prune the luxuriant, the uncouth refine, But show no mercy to an empty mind," and still less to the fellow who regards the race as his particular and lawful prey. The atmosphere is becoming less and less favorable to the fellow whose chief ability is to blunder and to plunder. And that's the result of the "pessimism" that is now frightening our honest contemporary. What? The negro is so much of an optimist that he looks for the best, and when he gets the worst, he doesn't believe it!—"Old Hickory" in Dallas Express. How He Broke It Off.

The Sunday School Lesson UZZIAH, KING OF JUDAH, HUMBLED. Sunday School Lesson for May 7, 1911. (Specially Arranged for This Paper.) Golden Text—"Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall." Prov. 16: 18: 2 Chron. 26: 8-21. Commit vs. 19, 20. Lesson Text—2 Chronicles 26. Memory verses 19, 20. Time—Uzziah's reign extended (Beecher) from B. C. 806 to B. C. 755; (Hastings) B. C. 801 to 749. Uzziah may have become a leper about B. C. 768. Jotham being the regent from that time. Place—The Temple in Jerusalem. Kings—In Israel, Jeroboam II. In Assyria, Shalmanezer III. Prophets—Amos, Hosea, Isaiah, the Zoebariah of our lesson. Uzzlah's Trust in God and Consequent Glory, 8:5. For the major part of it Uzzlah's long reign of 52 years was one of the most brilliant in the history of Judah. In some respects it bears a striking resemblance to the reign of Solomon. Old time and dangerous enemies of Judah became subject to him (v. 8, cf. ch. 20:1). His fame spread far and wide even to the borders of Egypt (v. 8). He "waxed exceeding strong." The secret of his prosperity is found in v. 5, "He sought God...and as long as he sought the Lord, God made him to prosper." It was by the help of God that he won his victories (v. 7, cf. Ps. 27:1-3; Rom. 8:31). He realized the dangers with which he was encompassed and fortified himself against them (vs. 9, 10). He was a man of affairs, as well as a successful warrior (v. 10, cf. vs. 6, 7). The description of his agricultural undertakings suggests that of Solomon's efforts in the same direction (v. 10, cf. 1 Ch. 27:25-31). "He loved husbandry" and encouraged agriculture. Nevertheless he was a warrior (vs. 11:15). His father, Amaziah, in the early days of his reign had also had a large and conquering army (ch. 25:5-12), but in his later years suffered defeat (ch. 25:14-26). Uzzlah brought the army to a higher point of efficiency than it had reached in the best days (v. 14) and fortified Jerusalem (v. 15). His fame spread far and wide because God was with him (v. 15). The whole secret of it lay in the fact that he was "marvelously helped." Each one of us can have the same marvelous help from the same source and upon the same conditions, namely, that we seek the Lord (v. 5, cf. Eph. 6:10; Phil. 4:13). The story of Ahaz reinforces the warning that comes to us from the story of Uzziah. The pride of Ahaz was pride of opinion; that of Uzziah was pride in accomplishment. Pride may spring from good looks, fine clothes, plenty of money, a keen intellect, distinguished social position. A boy may be vain of his ball playing and a girl of her white hands. Whatever may be the source of it, pride is always a terrible danger. Uzzlah's Fall and Shame, 16-21. Here we read one of the saddest stories of man's failure in all history. Uzzlah's strength became his ruin. Like many another, "when he was strong his heart was lifted up." Prosperity has been the ruin of countless men and women (cf. ch. 25:19; 32:25). Very few men, even in Christian work, can stand great prosperity. God marvelously helps many a preacher and many an evangelist and many a personal worker, then he becomes puffed up and God is forced to set him aside. In the very dawn of Israel's history Jehovah warned them that their prosperity would lead to their ruin (Deu. 8:11:17; 32:13:15). Uzzlah's pride consequent upon God's help, led to his destruction (v. 16, cf. Prov. 16:18). Pride consequent upon a God-given prosperity has led to many a man's destruction. Forgetting the source of his power and becoming filled with self-sufficiency, "he transgressed against the Lord his God." God had appointed him to be a king, but he took upon himself the office of a priest and violated the plain instructions of God's law (v. 16, cf. Num. 16:40; 18:7; 16:1, 7, 18, 35; 1 Kings 12:33; 13:14. Heb. 5.4). Azarah was a faithful and fearless priest and was followed by a company of men like-minded (v. 17). Uzzlah was king, but they did not hesitate to withstand him when Uzzlah withstood God (cf. 2 Ch. 16:79; 19:2; Jer. 13:18; Matt. 10:18-28; Mark 6:18). There is great need today of servants of God who do not hesitate to rebuke those high in authority for their sin. How strangely it must have sounded in the ears of the all-conquering king to hear one of his humble subjects saying, "Go out of the sanctuary, for thou hast trespassed." No honor ever comes from disobeying God (v. 18; cf. 1 Sam. 2:30; Dan. 4:37). Uzzlah was not great enough to tolerate rebuke, even from a God-sent messenger (v. 19; cf. ch. 16:10; 25:16). How many kings are? Uzzlah's wrath was of short duration, for God took him in hand and thoroughly humbled him. The stoutest hearted king soon willen the God deals with him. The leprosy was the direct infliction from God (v. 20; cf. Deu. 28:22-25; Num. 12:10; 2 Kings 5:27). The doctrine that God never sends sickness has no warrant in the word of God. The all-conquering king became a leper to the day of his death, unclean and separated from people—what a sad ending to a brilliant reign, and all because "his heart was lifted up to his destruction." Experience of the Pennsylvania Congressman When He Was a Reporter in Philadelphia. When Congressman J. Hampton Moore was a reporter in Philadelphia he was assigned one night to go out and get a human interest story about a woman who had died at the age of eighty-eight, leaving a twin sister, with whom she had lived for 50 years, as a sole survivor of an old family. The house stood opposite a cemetery at the outskirts of town and Moore wished, as he pulled aside the crape to ring the bell, that his city editor wouldn't be so fertile with his ideas of human interest stories. A woman friend of the aged sister opened the door and ushered J. Hampton into the parlor, over in one corner of which rested the dead sister in her coffin. The neighbor seemed to feel that it was up to her to entertain the reporter while he was waiting for the other sister to drag herself in for the interview. By way of small talk the woman motioned with her thumb in the direction of the coffin and remarked: "That's the lady that died." "I suspected as much," replied Moore. GSP Joe—I hear dat Tom Smiff done got cut wid a razor. Sam—Yes, he were gittin' shaved and he were tryin' to get his hands in de barber's pocket and de razor slipped. MEERSCHAUM SUPPLY FAILING. The valuable material from which meerschaum pipes are made is continually getting scarcer and in the large industry which has flourished in Vienna, Budapest, Nuremburg, Paris and in the Thuringian town of Ruhia, seems endangered. The manufacture of meerschaum pipes is much more important than is generally supposed. The town of Ruhia alone has been exporting, in round figures, pipes to the value of about $1,500,000 annually. The finest grade of meerschaum is found near Eski-Schelir, in Anatolia, Asia Minor, in a hollow, which in early days was a lake, in which the meerschaum was precipitated. Meerschaum is also found in other places, including Thebes, Egypt, the Bosnian mountains in the neighborhood of Brubschitz, and Nunendorff in Moravia, and in some sections of Spain and Portugal. WENT THROUGH THE FLOOR. An auctioneer has had an extraor-experience at Old Corwyn. As he entered a room where a sale was to take place he was astonished to see the people in it, about forty in number, as well as the furniture, all vanish through the floor before his eyes. When he realized what had happened he perceived that people and the furniture had fallen into the cellar, ten feet below, owing to the giving way of the floor. No one, however, was seriously injured, though there was a good deal of alarm. A stepladder was procured and the people ascended it amid considerable merriment. —Cardiff (Wales) Mail. SOMEWHAT INVOLVED. "Do you believe in luck or in opportunity?" "Oh, in opportunity when you are lucky enough to get one." PARADOXICAL REFORM. "I hear that Jaggsby is in exceptional health and is full of spirits." "Full of spirits? That's odd. I head he was on the water wagon." A THIN ALLOWANCE. "Muggs has comewhat of a spare figure, hasn't he?" "I don't know as I would call it that. He hasn't much of it to spare." The Farm CABBAGE FOR POULTRY. The best vegetable for feeding hens is cabbage, for it is succulent and contains the largest amount of ash and protein of all vegetables. FEEDING YOUNG PIGS. Concerning the alliment of pigs I say this: I have had a like experience, and the cause I found was in feeding the sow too rich a feed when pigs We hang them up just so the hens can pick them clean to the stump. The greatest difficulty is in keeping cabbages in good condition through the winter. Few methods have been successful with us. We have tried pilling in the barn and covering with hay, but they sweat so easily that roon begins. Burying in a trench in the garden was only partially a success. A cool cellar with vabbage on shelves or hung from the joist has given us the best results. The late flat Dutch gives the most feed and requires the least work to raise.—M. E. Chapman, in the Weekly Witness. POULTRY IN WINTER. The main factor in securing success with poultry in winter lies in the hen house being perfectly dry and warm, sufficient light and ventilation. Beware of providing too much ventilation, for in winter that means frozen combs, colds and kindred evils. Have all cracks and crannies closed, as drafts are to be avoided. Do not overcrowd if you would obtain best results. If too many fowls are kept in a small inclosure, the younger and weaker ones do not get sufficient food, and consequently they do not lay, are in poor condition and liable to disease.—Kansas Farmer. COST OF NEGLECT. It costs for transporting wheat by steamer from New York to Liverpool, 3,100 miles, one-sixth less per bushel than it costs the farmer to haul his wheat 9.4 miles. These facts and figures show the vast importance of road improvement and justify the government of the United States in experimenting with a view to improving the roads of the country and stimulating the interest of farmers in the work.-Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. General Farm Notes Exercise will help make the streak of lean and streak of fat that is desired. Bright oat straw makes very good roughage for horses not working hard during the winter months. Do the pigs squeal because they are hungry or cold? Find out; there is no profit in either condition. Cold pressed cottonseed cake should be fed at the rate of about one pound to nine pounds of corn. There is a growing demand for good bacon. Rangy breeds, with tender, lean, juicy meat are the ones to bring profit. The large Pekin ducks are profitable to raise. The small common ducks do not weigh enough to make them profitable. Farm manure always has been and probably always will be the most important and most abundant material for soil improvement. Do not always be fussing with the setting hens. Feed and water them regularly and dust twice a week with insect powder, but otherwise let them alone. The proper time to begin milking a heifer or any other cow is when the udder becomes painfully distended with milk, and no ill effects should follow from such milking. Some men have cleared 100 per cent. on their money in sheep for years; but these are the real shepherds. Not every man has the shepherd instinct; but we may all do better than we do. Fed regularly and properly the calf nurtured on skim-milk will grow as rapidly as a calf fed upon whole milk. If you want to know what green feed will do for hogs, just divide yours into two pens, one with plenty of grass and the other one with none. Hot days and no shade will make the sheep grow thin. Get them into a pasture where there will be some shelter from the rays of the sun, if you can. One good brood sow will bring you in as much clean money as the best cow on the farm, but you must know how to keep, feed and otherwise deal with that sow. Flaxseed fed carefully will keep the colt's coat in fine condition, bowels free, and will promote an even development to the muscles of the legs and the whole body. Where ticks are found on cattle, a sure way to get rid of them is to go over the cattle with a sponge well moistened with crude petroleum; repeat when necessary until all ticks are destroyed. The greater the capacity for food the better the milker. A cow cannot produce a large quantity of milk if she does not have the capacity for food that makes milk. Concerning the alliment of pigs I say this: I have had a like experience, and the cause I found was in feeding the sow too rich a feed when pigs were small. It will cause them to become so fat they will die in the nest at times. Sometimes it will give them the thumps, and sometimes the scours. The safest feed when the pigs are young that I have ever tried is simply wheat bran, but if you give a moderate sufficiency it will furnish milk, and the pigs don't seem to get too fat, neither thump nor scour. The pigs will not be as plump as when sow is fed $ a_{3} $ richer ration, but they are more likely to live after they get started. Begin on the richer feed slowly and gradually.-Correspondent of the Indian Farmer. STATE CONTROL FAVORED. State control of highway building, the making of surveys, establishing grades and, maintaining a uniform system of roads; the power to enforce the building of highways in certain localities, and the authority to actually build them where the whole state would be equally benefited, are among the twentieth century requirements of state governments in the movement for good roads.—Kansas City Star. AUTOMOBILES GIVE STIMULUS. The automobile is an established fact, and it must be treated as a fact and provision made for it. It has given the present great impulse to road improvement in the United States, and this is a debt that the farmer, the chief enemy of the automobile, owes to it—Baltimore Sun. POULTRY NOTES. Don't overcrowd. Don't allow the pullets to crowd in a corner the first few nights they are moved from winter roosts; teach them what the roosts are for. This is a god time to plan the next season's business. Be regular in caring for and feeding the poultry; regularity counts for more than many think. Don't allow a scrap to be wasted; fresh scraps of meat mean increased number of eggs; the cracklings, when well pressed, are good to feed hens, in limited quantity. Many families will make no use of the livers at all; it would pay to secure these and save to feed hens. Much better give to the poultry than to leave for stray dogs and cats. If the weather is too warm for the cold storage plan, then the meat must be cooked; one of the kettles in which the lard was rendered will be the handiest for a cooking vessel. Salt just enough to keep from souring. In freezing weather all that is necessary is to put dressed poultry in cold storage, out of the reach of cats and dogs; it will keep just as long as it remains frozen; of course it will be necessary to thaw the mess before feeding. When selecting a new site for the poultry yards, remember a southern slope is best, and a loose, rich soil, containing enough gravel or sand to allow of rains soon soaking in, is the best. The southern slope gives the maximum share of the sunshine. In order to secure the good green growth, it is much better to have two yards, or a partition fence through the yard, thus enabling the green growth, rye or oats, or whatever is grown for forage, to get a good start, while the poultry is confined to the other part. If there is a north or northwest window in the poultry house, close it up today as tight as possible. While at it close all the cracks; tar paper is good for this if nailed closely. The size of the yard will depend quite a good deal upon the care taken of it, and the way it is managed. If green growth is kept upon it most, or all through the growing season the yard need not be so large; if bare, it should be regularly and thoroughly cleaned of all refuse once each month. A WASTED CLEW. "I lost a pocketbook with a roll of bills in it, a few weeks ago," Charlie Gibson told us. "I didn't make a fuss about it and tell the papers, but it was more than I could afford to lose. So I put a detective on it. He asked a lot of questions, looked wise and said he'd report in a day or two. Well, about three days later I found that pocketbook where I had mislaid it. I rejoiced exceedingly, and then I called up the detective to confess. The sleuth seemed disgusted. "Mighty careless of you, he said, 'And I'd just found a good clew, too!'" M. J. B. CHARLES BANKS AN INTERESTING DESCRIPTION OF CHARLES BANKS, THE LEADING FIGURE IN THE LIFE OF MOUND BAYOU, MISS. AN INTERESTING DESCRIPTION OF CHARLES BANKS, THE LEADING FIGURE IN THE LIFE OF MOUND BAYOU, MISS. In the American Magazine, Booker T. Washington, in the section devoted to "Interesting People," describes Mr. Charles Banks, the leading figure in the life of Mound Bayou, Mississippi, Mr. Washington says: "Down in the rich delta land of the Mississippi valley, midway between Memphis and Vicksburg, is a little town owned and controlled solely by negroes. Even to the aspiring black man himself there is something shockingly reverse to receive mail from the hands of a black postmaster, to purchase tickets from a black ticket agent, and to have laws made and enforced by a black mayor, alided by a black council and a black marshal. Mound Bayou, Mississippi, the town to which I refer, was established some twenty-five years ago by an ex-slave, and ever since the landing of the negro pioneers the pulse of the village has beaten steadily with progress and gain. As you alight from the train you see nothing about you but black faces, there being exceedingly few who are even fair enough to "pass for white." Should you have reason to make any inquiries, whatsoever, and especially touching any business or town politics, you will invariably be answered. "See Banks." And to see Banks you have merely to look around you. A tall, big-bodied man of pure African blood, with a small round head and quick, snapping eyes, in general build the very pattern of Jack Johnson, will be seen busily directing the loading of cotton, settling a dispute or hurrying away to the big cotton gin or the oll mill, a $100,000 plant,' now nearing completion under his direction—always busy, always ubiquitous, always brief, settling disputes as it were by a single stroke. As you meet Banks and talk with him, I think you are struck chiefly with the air of readiness about the man. Sparing, even stingy, with words, he nevertheless seems to know every moment just what is to be done in any given crisis. His easy, informal manner of wearing his clothes seems to suggest at a glance a readiness to settle a fray or matters of more deliberative consequence; and as I review him now, after several years of work with him in all parts of the country and under many different circumstances, I cannot recall that he ever in any way seemed at a less or in the slightest degree puzzled as to what to do in a crisis. As I have already indicated, Banks is the moving spirit of Mound Bayou. It was the task of Isalah T. Montgomery, the ex-slave of Jeff Davis's brother, to blaze the way in the forests and begin this prosperous settlement, but it has been left for Charles Banks to clear the village of debt, to extend the boundaries of the town several hundred acres, and to give the whole community a genuine business character. He seems to be one of the few negro college graduates to apply himself to business in its larger sense. A banker, a cotton broker, a dealer in real estate, and a farmer, he seems to have mastered thoroughly the financier's secret that money increases itself and makes for service by frequent turning over. The printing press of the town, the schools the battling factory, the score of various business houses, the cotton gin, the sawmill, the churches, the oil mill, all radiate from the little brick banking house of Charles Banks, and whenever there is trouble in any of the business enterprises hereabouts you will hear once more the laconic order. "See Banks." In point of wealth among negroes, Mississippi far outstrips any other state in the country. Every city worth the name boasts of its negro bankers and substantial business concerns among negroes. Clarksdale, Columbus, Meridian, Greenyville, Yazoo City, Jackson, Vicksburg, and a half score of others will point to a flourishing bank and many substantial dry goods and grocery mechants. And yet; apply to an aggregation of these men at any time for a leader, and a burst like that of a political nomination will rend the air with "Banks! Banks!" To many it is difficult to understand this; for, among negro leaders at least, a man of fewer words never tired. I never saw a member of my race who so conscientiously shunned the attempt at oratory and confined himself to a few short, simple words and sentences. Whether presiding over thousands of colored people at our National Negro Business league, or over hundreds at his own state league, he insists upon the barest informal statement of the purpose of the gathering, and nothing more. While in no way seeming timid, he yet brushes aside all the glitter of the president's office, the opening address, the labored introductories and the like. Maybe it is this striking novelty that has gained him the unanimous confidence of the negroes of his state and of a large portion of the negroes throughout the country. He has for several years in succession been elected first vice-president of the National Negro Business league, an organization that comprises practically all the negro business men of the country. In like manner, he has for a number of years been president of his state league, and last year he was, almost as it were by state acclamation, elected secretary and treasurer of the Masonic Fraternity of Mississippi, an-order that at its last yearly report had paid out $195,000, and contained a balance in cash of $80,000; one of the largest negro orders of the kind in the state, in money, influence and reliability. The peculiar conditions in the south render it urgent that whoever aspires to prominence in any direction 'must reckon with the good will of both he cannot be wholly white unto himself or wholly black unto himself. This is emphatically true where the question of money is involved. A negro who would be a banker cannot be a very large one without in some way rubbing elbows with white men in the same business. In this respect, it is highly to Charles Banks' credit that he very early established correspondence wherever he needed it, and the Bank of Mound Bayou now enjoys correspondence with banks in Memphis, in Louisville and in Vicksburg, with the National Reserve bank of the city of New York and with the National Bank of Commerce in St. Louis. Regarding the bank in St. Louis, it is singular enough that a letter of just a few days' ago from one of its officers, Mr. Eugene Snowden, lies before me. Mr. Snowden writes me: "It has been our pleasure to lend them" (referring races. Paradoxical as it may seem, to another negro bank in the same connection) "$30,000 each year, and their business has been handled to our entire satisfaction." When it is considered that Mr. Snowden is a southerner living right here near us, it can be seen how much a man like Charles Banks contributes toward the softening down of prejudice and the establishing of genuine confidence between the races. WITHOUT DISSENTING NOTE COLORED RELIGIOUS PAPERS SUSTAIN WASHINGTON WITHOUT DISSENTING NOTE COLORED RELIGIOUS PAPERS SUSTAIN WASHINGTON NOT THE SLIGHTEST WRONG. Of course Dr. Washington is not guilty of the slightest wrongdoing in the whole affair and happily for him and his race he has lived for more than half a century a life unspotted from the world. Mr. Washington's policy of carefulness would indicate him, to say nothing of his Christian character. Dr. Washington is conscious of his place in the eye of the public. He is therefore exceedingly careful not only as to what he does but what he says. No one who has engaged him in a conversation but knows that he weighs every word before he speaks. He is the most careful man in this regard we have ever met. He is always on his guard. This rule has become his second nature and accounts for his unbounded success. It will be of interest to our readers to know that representatives of our church were the first to inform the Tuskegee people by long distance phone of the unfortunate affair and offer sympathy. One of the first telegrams received by Dr. Booker T. Washington at New York expressing "confidence and sympathy" was signed by I. G. Penn, J. W. E. Bowen, C. J. Jacobs, W. W. Lucas, M. W. Dogan, J. P. Wragg, J. A. Rush and R. E. Jones. These men represented the attitude of our great church. That attitude is reaffirmed.—Southwestern Christian Advocate (M. E.) TRUTHFUL UPON ITS FACE. We remember that long years ago a certain king prayed to be delivered from his friends. It seems to us to be a good time for our good friend, Booker T. Washington, to offer just such a prayer. The thing which happened to Professor Washington in one of our northern cities was no unusual thing, his explanation as to his presence at the place where he was assaulted, has upon its face the truth. There is no need of further explaining by Mr. Washington's friends. They would be more likely to do harm than good, more apt to injure Mr. Washington than to help him. Mr. Washington will outlive the incident and it will pass out.—Georgia Baptist. BEAFFIRMS CONFIDENCE. The Star of Zion reaffirms its confidence in Dr. Booker T. Washington and unites with the press of the race in denouncing the brutal assault. While doing this we cannot refrain from remarking that what is needed north and south is a higher value upon the life and character of a negro as a man, be he Dr. Washington or Jim Jones. Here is a striking refutation of the fallacy that a decent and orderly negro has nothing to fear. So long as a negro is discriminated against because he is negro; so long all negroes may keep on the lookout for the hoodlums who lie in wait to molest them.—Star of Zion (A. M. E. Z.) STILL THE PEERLESS LEADER. The American people were greatly shocked and stunned when the news was flashed over the country that Dr. Booker T. Washington, the peerless leader of his race, had been brutally assaulted in New York city. Not withstanding the effort on the part of yellow journalism to use the unfortunate affair to ruin the usefulness of this great man and destroy his influence, his friends, and, they are legion, came to his rescue, and bravely stood by him until truth could get a hearing and sober judgment could voice a decision. No reasonable mind that knew Mr. Washington could be made to believe the vicious statement which was advanced provoking the assault. Mr. Washington has heretofore proven himself every inch a gentleman, a man of the highest ideals and character, and because of this confidence so universally sustained, Mr. Washington still holds his exalted station as the peerless leader of his people.—Raleigh Baptist Sentinel. CLEAN AND IRREPROACHABLE. Dr. Washington's life has been so clean, so irreproachable, so big and inspiring with practical usefulness, that any attempt to make capital of this episode in which he figures as the result of an assault will meet with the just contempt of all fair-minded men that it will richly deserve. The most credent ear will not allow itself to be abused by any effort to associate Dr. Washington's presence in the locality where he was assailed with some sinister or discreditable motive. Muckraking in his case-falls flat; it is preposterous, and dies a-boring—that's all.—Union Review, organ National Convention. CONFIDENCE IN HIS INTEGRITY. The unprovoked assault upon Dr. Booker T. Washington in New York city last week by a white man named Ulrich has aroused an unusual interest in and sympathy for Dr. Washington and brought down severe condemnation upon his assailant. There was absolutely no provocation for the assault and the only excuse was that some colored man had been seen acting suspicious around the premises where Dr. Washington had gone on business and he was mistaken for this individual. The man who made the assault was arrested and unless Dr. Washington's proverbial generosity saves him he will be punished. Dr. Washington received prompt medical treatment and is now filling his engagements. This unfortunate affair has brought out the fact that the great masses of the people have unbounded confidence in the integrity and moral worth of Dr. Washington and did not attribute any wrong to his conduct and at once tendered their sympathy and confidence. The words of sympathy and commendation came not only from the lowly and middle classes but from the most prominent men of both races and show the esteem in which he is held by the people.—Louisville American Baptist. CONFIDENCE AND SYMPATHY. President Taft expresses the sentiment of every unprejudiced American in his warm letter to Booker T. Washington. No one who knows Mr. Washington's life, character and nobility of mind and heart can hesitate to come to his side in his hour of trial. He was clearly the victim of a most unfortunate misunderstanding. The latest facts concerning the man Ulrich who attacked him so savagely and the woman who instigated the attack leave nothing unexplained in the painful incident. The woman, it appears, whose name is Alvarez, not Ulrich, is separated from her husband, and the latter had threatened to kidnap their child, a girl of 6, who lives with her mother. On one occasion the husband came with a Negro to the apartment house and spoke of dragging the child away. When Mr. Washington was seen by the woman in the vestibule, stooping and looking for the name of the accountant he was trying to find, she mistook him for "the same Negro" who had acted as her husband's accomplice, and excitedly raised the alarm which resulted in the ferocious assault. Mr. Washington's word would have been sufficient in any case, but these facts should be generally known. As the president and thousands of other friends of Mr. Washington and his great work feel, it would be a national calamity if the incident were in any degree to impair the high usefulness and moral power and influence of the pure, modest, inspiring leader of the black men of the United States. Such a calamity should be averted by prompt and unqualified expressions of absolute confidence of fair-minded men and women in Mr. Washington's nobility and integrity.-Editorial: Chicago Record Herald. Those Who Know Him. Those who know Mr. Washington, those who know of him, his friends and admirers, refuse to entertain any other view than the one given out by him. His friends have rallied to him, expressing unbounded confidence in all respects. We are not different to them, seeing in the distinguished leader and educator all that has been said of him from time to time.—Indianapolis Freeman. Ridiculous, Absurd, Preposterous! The idea that Dr. Washington would insult any woman is unbelievable, and that he should wander into a strange neighborhood and call a strange white woman "sweetheart" is ridiculous, absurd, preposterous!—Cincinnati Union. Washington Cannot Be Harmed. Washington Cannot Be Harmed. The unfortunate Booker Washington incident in New York simply serves to show the fallacy of hastily taking the law into one's own hands. The "Wizard" cannot be harmed by the episode—Florida Sentinel. Scraps Glad rags are often sorry payments. The love of speed makes the world go round. A serene soul always has strength behind it. This is the day of the automobile by the ocean. A good husband is one who has not been found out. Some fellows are constant in love only out of timidity. No hen coop is impossible to your natural born teacher. Never be too sure of anything, especially if it's a sure thing. The sensitiveness of a conceited fellow is too raw to word it. When the gods wish a little fun, they make some fool woman jealous. While we wait for fortune, we might as well carpet the stairs for her. The only day some men believe in the sacredness of work is payday. Patience is always worth while, provided you reinforce it with energy. Namby-pambyism is only a warning; it was never meant for an example. Long shots have made short shrill of many a promising young fellow. It does the world a lot of good to see a guy smile his cares away, and it ready to help blot them out. a. bd ae ie & AMONG THE MASONS. * re ¥ "ee OR Oe oR oR ae ‘As true Masons We are loath to dis- cuss In the newspapers the affairs of ithe order, There fs always a proper Iplace for this, and we should a}ways ‘learn to pay no attention whatever to ‘the sayings of men who have a desire to keep in the lime light by haying contentions.

As long as Maicnry lasts there can never be a Naticnal organizaticn. There is no such organization among the white _ Masons, and there is no doubt about them knowing something about the workings of the Order. In Masonry, each Grand Jurisdiction is soverign. ‘The Masons, white and colored, in this country, are governed by Mac- key’s says that “A Grand Lodge is the sapreme Masonic authority of the jurisdiction {a which it is situated and faithful allegiance and implicit obedience is due to it from all the Lodges and Masens residing therein. Jts functions and-+ prorgatives are Uerefore of the most extensive aand impostant nature.” It further gives ‘the functions of the Grand Lodge as legislative, judical and executive. If Mackey is right, and all legal Masons believe that he is right; then there is no place in Masonry for a National Grand Lédge or a National Grand Master. Now, what's the use arguing with the bogus Compacters who are seeking populaiity at the expense of truth and justice. ‘The burial honors of today differ from: those of earlier days. At the time of Washington's death, for in- stance, the words which accompanied the significant motions of the arms were: “Alas! my brother! we hare knelt. with thee in prayer, we have pressed thee to our bosoms, we will meet thee in heaven!” The way to kill Masonry is to “im- prove” the simplicity out of it.
