VOL. XXVI. NOT A MENACE TO UNITED STATES Lyman Abbott Points Way for Next Arbitration Move. STOP BUYING BONDS FOR WAR Mr. Hunda Says His Country Would Willingly Do Anything to Strengthen Its Friendship With Baltimore, Md. Overshadowing the opinions presented by men of national repute for world-wide arbitration at the National Peace Congress in Baltimore was a striking utterance by Dr. Lyman Abbott, editor of the Outlook and associate of Theodore Roosevelt. He urged that the United States, after agreeing on a treaty of arbitration with England, should frame a similar one with Japan. Nothing, he said, could safeguard the western coast of the country, the Philippines and the Hawaiian islands better than such a treaty. His address was made of more import by the statement of Mr. Hunda, editor of a Japanese newspaper in New York, that Japan was in a receptive mood for arbitration and wanted the friendship of the United States. In substantiation of the outlook for peace between Japan and the United States, Price Collier, author and traveler, said that Japan's greatest problem was not war, but bankruptcy, and that, logically, she would be a peaceful neighbor of this country. Mr. James Speyer, the noted New York financier, struck an entirely new note by making the assertion from his knowledge of international finances that the one effective way to stop foreign wars is to stop buying the bonds of countries which desire to use the money for warfare. Representative Slayden, of Texas, said the Monroe doctrine should be discarded—in part, that the United States, by treaties, should recognize the territorial rights of South American republics and allow the countries to be developed by foreign capital, an opportunity which, he said, was retarded now by the Monroe doctrine. SENATOR BURTON ELECTED American Peace Society Holds Its Annual Meeting. Baltimore, Md.—At the completion of the afternoon session of the Peace Congress the delegates from the American Peace Society remained in the hall for their annual meeting, which was presided over by Senator Theodore E. Burton, of Ohio. Among the chief reports was one stating that the headquarters of the body had been removed from Boston to Washington. The American Peace Society is the oldest organization of its kind in the United States, having been formed in 1828. Its membership numbers near- A. H. THEODORE E. BURTON.

The Savannah LIFE'S DISAPPOINTMENTS ```markdown ``` EXPECTATION REALIZATION EXPECTATION (Copyright, 1911.) DEAD LYING IN CANTON STREETS Many Beheaded During Desperate Rioting NO FOREIGNERS ARE INJURED. The Anti-Manchu Movement Continues to Spread to Amoy--The Commander of a Chinese Cruiser Killed. Hongkong. — The anti-Manchu movement has spread from the West River, at the west of Canton, to the north and east through Kwangtung province and to Amoy, in the southeastern part of Fuklen province. According to the best information obtainable, the foreign missions have not been molested by the rebels. Service on the Canton-Kowloon section of the railway leading from Canton to Hongkong has been abandoned. Vessels are making frequent trips between Hongkong and Canton, bringing refugees here. It is difficult to obtain reliable news of the progress of the rebellion, but the feeling here is that further grave developments are quite possible. Details of the fighting at Canton confirm earlier reports of the ferocity with which the troops and the rebels engaged. Queueless heads and headless bodies in European dress are still exposed in the streets. Other bodies show that death was caused by strangulation. The absence of the queues, together with the clothing of Western fashion, make plain that the dead were rebels. The bodies of the soldiers killed appear to have been removed. A son of the viceroy of Canton and a maid were found hidden under a bed in the servants' quarter of the palace, which escaped destruction when the home was set afire. The commander of a Chinese cruiser was killed. Admiral Li, who commanded the loyal troops in the first two days of the fighting, is said to have personally killed 10 revolutionaries before he was mortally wounded. Bluejackets guard Shamien, and close by are the American gunboat Wilmington, the German gunboat Itis, a Portuguese gunboat, from Macao and several British warships. To Protect Missionaries. Washington, D. C.—In reporting to the State Department the activities of the Chinese revolutionists in the outlying districts of Canton, Consul General Bergholz, at that place, recommended that American gunboats enter the West river to protect the missionaries In Kwangtung province. YOU SHOULD HAVE $34.55. Treasury Finds That Amount Per Capita in Circulation. Washington, D. C.—If you cannot run your hand into your pocket and haul forth a roll of $34.55 you are not financially an average man.° A statement just issued by the United States Treasury Department gives that amount as the per capita circulation, basing the figures upon an estimated population on May 1, 1911, of 93,705,000. The department showed that on that date there was a general stock of money amounting to $3,546,574,337, which included $308,936,220 held in the Treasury and $3,237,638,117 in circulation. --- SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, MAY 13, 1911. M. T. R. REALIZATION NO ANNEXATION SAYS PRESIDENT Believed to Have Had Mexican Policy in Mind. PEACE CONFERENCE SPEECH Mr. Taft Says That We Have All the Work We Can Do In Developing Our Resources-- His Good Advice. Baltimore, Md.—"I wish to avail myself of this opportunity to say that in the whole length and breadth of the United States there cannot be found any desire for territorial aggrandizement, and there shall be none." When President Taft uttered these words in the Lyric at the opening of the session of the Third National Peace Congress there was an outburst of applause which rang throughout the large hall. Every man and woman in the vast assemblage, which filled the stage, the private boxes, every seat in the main auditorium and in the galleries approved the President's sentiment. Intuitively the audience grasped the idea that the President had in mind the Mexican policy of his administration and that this policy is adverse to win with Mexico a war which would mean the annexation of a part T. of the territory of that country. The President brought forth another round of applause when he declared that the United States had all the work on hand which it could do in developing its resources. Again the President awakened the interest of his hearers when he declared that the movement for arbitration of disputes would not bring peace at once. Before he completed his address the President advised the Peace Congress and other organizations with the same object in view to unite in their efforts and co-operate in securing worldwide peace. Engine Jumps Tracks Dayton, O.—The first engine of Pennsylvania passenger train, No. 20, jumped the track inside the city limits, turned over, killing Engineer Crumley, Fireman Charles Grandan and Yard Clerk Hicks. LEGISLATORS INDIGTED Ohio Assembly Members Charged With Solicitation of Columbus, O. As a result of two days' probing the Franklin county grand jury indicted five members of the Ohio General Assembly for soliciting bribes. One legislative attach was indicted for aiding and abetting in the solicitation. Although the names of only four had been mentioned in the newspapers in advance, all five of them were in a lawyer's office when the grand jury reported. They immediately went to the courthouse and furnished bond. Other features in the day's developments included the appointment of an entirely new steering committee in the House. The old one was deplated by resignations. Dr. Geo, B. Nye, of Pike county, was the last to hand in his resignation. Six other members of the committee had deserted him and when their resignations came up for consideration a motion was made to accept also that of Nye although it had not been offered. Nye, who caused the arrest of Burns' deetctives on charges of bribing him, was among those indicted. His bond was placed at $10,000, as also that of Sergeant-at-Arms R. J. Dyegle, of Erle county, alleged gobetween, Dyegle, it was reported, was about to confess. He was sent for by Burns and spent considerable time at the courthouse, but later, when asked if he had been promised immunity, declared he had nothing to confess. In addition to Nye one other representative was indicted, A. C. Lowrey, of Lawrence county, son-in-law of Col. H. A. Marting, a rich manufacturer. Lowrey, like Nye, is a physician. There were three senators indicted: George K. Cetone, of Montgomery county, a fruit grower; Isaac E. Huffman, of Butler county, a lawyer; L. B. Andrews, of Lawrence county, a lawyer. The bonds of all, save Nye and Dyegle, were fixed at $5,000. Surety bonds were supplied, save by Huffman and Cetone. .MAY ABOLISH GOLD COIN Two-and-a-half-dollar Gold Piece Soon to Go. Washington, D. C.—The two-and-a-half dollar gold piece which has lang been a favored coin for watch charms and Christmas gifts, but not for circulation may soon become obsolete. Secretary MacVeagh contemplates asking Congress for authority to stop its coinage. Even in California where gold circulates almost to the exclusion of paper money, there is a public disposition to shun the little coin, so easily confused with dimes and pennies to the loss of the owner. Each year the mints have been coining new ones for the Christmas demand, but no one seems to want an old one, so they pile up in the Treasury vaults. Quite a saving may be affected if their coinage is abolished. Plan to Preserve Big Trees. Washington, D. C.—Representative Raker, of California, and Chief Forester Graves, submitted to President Taft a proposition designed to preserve the big trees in the Calaveras region of California. Mr. Raker will ask Congress for an appropriation to purchase the trees as a forest reserve. At present they are owned by an individual. Mr. Raker said the President approved the idea. 1.000 Americans Penned Up. Douglas, Ariz.—Refugees from Guayamas, Mexico, arriving here said 1,000 Americans were penned up in Mazatlan, unable to get away because of severed connections of the railroad and unable to get word to Washington to send a warship to take them away. Mexican gunboats in Mazatlan harbor prevented any egress at sca, while the rebels had the city surrounded on the land side. Alleged Spy's Defense. Cologne, Germany.—Mlle. Thirion an attractive Parisian resident here, was arrested, charged with being a spy and obtaining the secret mobilization plans of the German Army from an army officer. The prisoner offers the romantic defense to that she had asked for the plans in order to test the honor of the officer, who was a sultor for her hand. Democrats Win Out. Baltimore. At the municipal election in Baltimore Mr. James H. Presston, Democratic candidate for mayor, was elected over Mr. E. Clay Timanus, Republican candidate, by 635 plurality. Messrs. Hubert and Thrift, Democratic candidate respectively for president of Second Branch City Council and for controller, were elected by larger pluralities. Young Lad Turned the Bign Around so No One Else Would Apply for the Position. "If I could settle the competition problem in my business the way a youngster did the other day I'd be worth millions in a few years," said a New York merchant. "This boy was in search of work and applied at an office where the sign 'Boy Wanted' was displayed at the street entrance. He was a little fellow and the manager told him, he was too young for the place. But the youngster was persistent, said he was strong and well and knew he could do the work. In fact, he pleaded his cause so well that the manager compromised a little. "See here,' he said to the boy, "you go out and come back in an hour. If no other boy whose looks I like better comes in within that time the job's yours." "The boy was game. He went downstairs, stood at the street entrance for a moment and as he went past the 'Boy Wanted' sign just whisked it over. Then he walked up and down the block, keeping a sharp eye on the reversed sign. The minute the hour of probation was up he was at the manager's desk and was engaged. It was only after the end of a week's successful service that the little fellow's conscience troubled him and he confessed the way he'd settled the competition problem." INDEPENDENCE Tom—My wife does as she pleases Dick—And you? Tom—I do as she pleases, also. NO WONDER. John Mitchell, at a dinner in New Rochelle, was talking about strikers and strike breakers. "Once," he said, "the garbage collectors in a small western town struck for higher pay. While the strike was on the municipal employees—the cashiers and clerks—were called on to perform the collectors' work. As they went about the town doing this work, clad in high collars, patent leather shoes, kid gloves and fur-lined overcoats, they attracted a good deal of attention. One old dame was heard to say: "My goodness, the slop men must have got that raise they struck for. Look at what dudes they are now! And so proud and cold like! They'll hardly speak to you as they take your slop." The painless dentist gave a mighty yank and the tooth of the bleeding patient clattered upon the floor. "I thought you said you could pull teeth without pain?" yelled the victim. "I can pull them without pain," said the dentist, gently, "but when I do I don't pull them hard enough to make them come out." BETWEEN LAWYERS. "I won't defend a man whom I believe to be guilty." "My boy, you mustn't set your judgment up against that of the majority. I have defended plenty of men whom I believed to be guilty, but the jury decided otherwise." NO.34. Latest Novalty the Outcome of the Desire of Man to Conquer the Air. Have you seen the "aerial postcards?" They are the latest novelty in the line, and those who collect postcards are delighted at the idea that before long they will be able to add to their albums a "carte aerienne," dropped from the clouds by one of their friends passing in an aeroplane. The new card bears a printed request that the person finding it on the ground will be so good as to take it to the nearest postoffice, whence it will be forwarded to its destination. A space is reserved for the mention of the altitude at which the message left sender's hands, and the situation, approximately, of the aeroplane at the time of sending. A photograph of the monoplane, or biplane figures on the other side. It is said that a request has been made to the minister of posts and telegraphs that a special stamp should be created for these aerial missives, but so far I have not heard that M. Millerand has undertaken to so.—Paris Figaro. HIS WAY OF THANKING HER Col. T. W. Higginson Pays Young Woman Gracious Compiliment on His Eighty-seventh Birthday. Col. Thomas Wentworth Higginson, at the recent celebration in Boston of his eighty-seventh birthday, said: "I find old age to be an enjoyable period of life." That Colonel Higginson is happy in old age is witnessed by the kindly humor that illumines all his utterances. Thus, on his birthday, a beautiful young lady, an admirer of his books, ventured to bring him a bouquet of roses. Colonel Higginson asked her name, and then he said: "You live, I suppose, with your parents?" "No, sir," the lady replied. "My parents are in heaven. I live with my husband." "Your husband, too, is in heaven!" said Colonel Higginson, gallantly. WELSH CAVE DWELLERS. Cave dwellers still survive among us here and there and there is living at Llandudno an aged woman known colloquially as "Miriam's Ogo." She is ninety-three years of age and till quite lately lived in a cave on the side of the Great Orme. There she bore and brought up a family of 13 children, one of whom is a stalwart "bowman" of the Llandudno lifeboat. Miriam's husband, also a caval man, made himself a pair of wings out of feathers for the purpose of getting up and down the face of the cliff, but his clever efforts in aviation led at last to a serious accident: Cardiff Western Mail. WAYS OF FAME. "Did you really say all the clever things attributed to you by the anecdote writers?" "No," replied Senator Sorghum; "I didn't exactly say 'em. But I indorsed 'em." THE LESSER EVIL "I always choose the lesser of two evils." "Do you?" "Yes. When I met my wife I was engaged to a much bigger girl." HOW A HABIT WAS FORMED. "That political dictator used to be employed as a street car conductor, did he not?" "Yes. And he has been telling people where to get on and off ever since." LUCKY FOR ROBINSON. Hector—How was Robinson hurt? Mullins—Smith shot him in the foot while hunting rabbits. Hector—He did? Well, it's a good thing Smith wasn't hunting taller game. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Fisk university, at Nashville, not a local but a national factor in possible solution of the negro problem in America, was founded by the American Missionary association, and is a missionary agency in every sense. The general education board has just granted to it $60,000 upon condition that a further sum of $240,000 be secured toward enlargement of facilities and endowment. Trustees of the university declare that not $300,000 only, but half a million dollars, must be had to properly equip and advance the institution. Fisk has about 500 colored students and, since its foundation immediately following the close of the Civil war, it has sent out 775 graduates. Most of thehees are teachers in schools of the negro race, and many are men and women of influence in the communities. It is estimated that at the moment 15,000 negro children are in classes taught by graduates of Fisk. The trustees say that white and colored men, most familiar with race conditions, and needs, are convinced that education, chiefly industrial, under trained leadership by men and women of the colored race, alone will solve the problem of the races, now looming large. Fisk and the American Missionary association, which is Congregational home work, cooperate in the largest sense with Tuskegee, Hampton, Lawrenceville, and other industrial training agencies for colored youth.—Dallas (Tex.) Express. We note with a degree of displeasure that for some time a large number of exchanges have been using matter cut from our columns, without giving us any credit at all. This is wrong. Credit to whom credit is due. A colored editor is quite unlike a white editor. The white editor occupies all his time in writing; the colored editor not only has to do all the writing on the editorial page, but he has to hustle up new business, take subscriptions and advertisements, collect and circulate the paper, as well as to look after the financial end of the business, and in many instances he has to work all night setting up most of the type, and hence has little or no time to write editorials. All we ask is that credit be given us when you draw upon our columns, as our matter is free to all journals, of whatever faith.—Memphis News. 一、 A colored woman was brought before a West Virginia magistrate, charged with inhuman treatment of her child. Evidence was clear that she had severely beaten the youngster, who was in court to exhibit his marks and bruises. Before imposing sentence the magistrate asked the woman if she had anything to say. "Kin Ah ask yo' honah a question?" His honor nodded. "Well, then, yo' honah, I'd like to ask yo' whether yo' was ever the parent of a puffeckly wuthless culled chile?" 一 The new minister in a Georgia church was delivering his first sermon. The darky janitor was a critical listener from a back corner of the church. The minister's sermon was eloquent, and the prayers seemed to cover the whole category of human wants. After the services one of the deacons asked the old darky what he thought of the new minister. "Don't you think he offers up a good prayer, Joe?" "Ah, mos' suitainly does, boas. Why, dat man axed de good Lord fo' things dat de oder preacher didn't even know he had!" 1. Every negro man in the south ought to buy a home, and the great majority of us should buy our homes in the rural districts, and undertake to grow a strong and intelligent class of wealth producers. The south is badly in need of a trustworthy servant class and if the negro does not substantially improve the efficiency and reliability of his service, he must, as a natural consequence, lose out. 1 After a long illness, John Trower, probably the wealthiest negro in the United States, died recently at his home in Germantown, a suburb of Philadelphia. Trower, whose fortune is said to amount to $1,500,000, was prominent in church work, and founded a Baptist seminary in Dowlingtown, Pa., near Philadelphia. He was 61 years old—Charleston (Va.) Messenger. They are on very excellent terms with President Taft in Africa. A publication of that country recently referred to him as old, big-hearted Bill Taft. Strange how we use those the commonest that we think the most of. Take Teddy for instance, why it made Mr. Roosevelt president—this common way of. taking him—Charleston (S. C.) Messenger. You negroes who are harking on race support and enterprise, and are not doing your duty toward the cause advocated, should cease your howling and join in with the right crowd, who means to abide by what they preach. Palestine (Tex.) Plaindealer. The following news item sent out from New Orleans shows how solicitous the authorities down there have become regarding the morals of Negro girls: New Orleans, La.—The Rev. Father C. F. Shecklizzie, priest in the Coplio Church at Abyssinia, graduate of Oxford, student at Cambridge, former president of the University of Valina at Gondar, East Africa, fellow of the Royal Scientific society, educational and ecclesiastical envoy of King Menelik II to the United States at the St Louis exposition, is in jail. He is likely to stay there awhile, for Justice Dale of Gulfport says he is no better than a Mississippi plantation Negro in his eyes. The black lecturer has addressed letters to Bishop Turner of Atlanta, hoping for assistance. He has been speaking and preaching throughout Eastern Canada and the Eastern States, and in the South, as his scrap book of clippings shows. The charge is that he made improper advances to a little Negro girl at Howison. --- In a recent address at Atlanta, Georgia, Colonel Theodore Roosevelt said: "The agricultural college is one of the best influences at work in the country today. A great deal of alarm has been shown when cities grow at the expense of the country. This is bad for the whites, but infinitely worse for the Negroes. I have seen too many sons of respectable farmers move to the city and become worthless loafers. It is for this reason that I have taken such interest in Clark university, which is doing excellent work along this line. It is for the good of both the whites and the blacks that the Negroes should be competent farmers." 一 It looks very, discouraging to see our young men lounging around on the streets, at stables, etc., on Sundays, while the churches and Christian institutions of the other race are filled with their young men. You young men should awaken from that spirit of inertness and slothfulness, and stand up as a moral example for our race. The young negro is the one being watched, and he should lead a life that would be appreciated and recognized by both races.—Palestine (Tex.) Plaindealer. Canada is becoming scared over the large influx of negroes into the Dominion, and the fear is expressed that if the immigration becomes too great in volume, a negro problem will develop there. The freedom from restrictive laws renders Canada a very inviting region for the colored people of this country, who are growing dissatisfied with the increasing prejudice existing in some sections of the United States. - Once upon a time a lonely little boy began praying for a baby brother. Finally he suggested that he had waited a long time and hoped the Lord would hurry up matters. In a few days the "little brother" arrived. Looking at the baby the little boy said: "Gee! He's a great looking think! Can't talk, can't walk, ain't got any hair and he ain't got any teeth—he ain't finished! Wish I hadn't been in such a darned hurry!" Whenever our representative men and women of our race who are able to take care of themselves and are touring parts of the country in the interest of giving instruction and advice, etc., in the way of uplift, etc., the commonmasses should not be ridden so much in their local communities of admission charges. The masses of our people even in Galveston should give this matter attention—Galveston (Tex.) Times. Stop spending your money with the shoe store, the drug firm, the furniture house, the grocery, the dry goods store, the dye shop, the tailor, the undertaker or banker that is afraid to advertise in this paper. Tell your dealer that if he expects the support of the colored citizens he must advertise his goods before he can have any claim on the trade.—Memphis (Tenn.) Times. The city authorities of New Orleans are contemplating the passing of an act segregating Negroes to certain districts in the city. These segregating ordinances do not apply to Negro servants. From that it would appear that the head and front of the Negroes offending is the fact that all of them are not servants. And this is a gospel land and a Christian country too—so they say. Some of our people delight in standing around in clusters on the streets, arguing and debating over frivolous affairs. Carry your arguments home or somewhere else to settle them: Stop blockading the sidewalks. Remember there are other people who have rights to the sidewalks. Booker T. Washington has been completely vindicated, and the most useful and helpful possibility of the race has been assured. In Mr. Washington's trials we are all on trial, and in his vindication the race triumphs. COQUETTE AND WOMAN By MRS. MINNIE NELSON HINDS. With a long, shuddering sigh the girl opened her eyes. She was seated in the bow of a rowboat with a bandage knotted tightly across her mouth. Her captor, a typical brigand, even to the brass ear rings and red kerchief, was facing her, rowing, in short, back-handed strokes, instead of the American fashion. Earlier in the day Natica Lawton had refused, with petulant whim, to make one of the party who had started from the villa on an all-day trip through the mountains. David Graham was the first man who had not succumbed to her little "highness," as her uncle called her, and it was to plaque him that she had elected to remain at home. Seated in a walled enclosure, shaded by a luxurious vine with dusky leaves and purple-sided fruit, she had been gazing at her beloved sea, where the shimmering of its myriad hues blended with the sky line in a delicate, wonderful blue, when her reverie was rudely interrupted by the apparition of a swarthy, cruel face just above the coping. She had promptly fainted and now she was here alone in the power of this desperado. Of course, he had heard of the rich "Americanos," who had hired the villa for the season, and had captured her for ransom. She wondered why no other boats were out, then she remembered—it was a festa day. Turning her head toward the cliffs, Natica's eyes filled with tears as she thought of the happy party somewhere in those very mountains. Suddenly a movement attracted her; in a tiny cove something moved. It was a boat, and as it floated out of the shadow she discovered the standing figure of a man looking toward her through field glasses. She cast a quick glance at her captor, but he saw nothing but the approaching storm. The girl dared not signal, but a moment later she was overjoyed to see the boat following them. Natica watched him through hall-closed eyes, and when he turned his head and nodded with a familiar gesture she almost swoomed with joy. It was David. Suddenly he sprang up and made a motion as if to dive over the side of the boat, then, pointing to Natica, he repeated it frantically. Natica, all alert, caught his meaning. An expert swimmer, she knew that she could keep afloat in spite of her skirts, until David reached her. Drawing her feet stealthily under her she gave a sudden, strong leap over the side; ere the brigand lost his stroke she was several feet away. The astounded man was caught napping, and when he saw David's boat so near the swimming girl, he snatched his knife from his belt and shook it at David with wild curses. A shot from David's pistol put an end to this pleasantry, and with a howl of pain the man shook his bleeding finger, grabbed up the oars and rowed sullenly away with never a backward look. "Thank heaven, he left his gun at home," said David, as he pulled Natica over the side of his boat and tore off her bandage. "I suppose he thought that awful knife was enough to scare a woman," laughed the girl hysterically. Then—she went all to pieces. "Oh, David! if you hadn't come," she sobbed shiveringly. "You poor little girl," replied David, wrapping his coat around ner and fighting down a wild desire to take her in his arms. Instead, he said: "Come, now; brace up, little highness, we have got to run for it. Here comes the storm." "Don't look at it," advised David calmly. "He's like a stone," thought Natica wrathfully. A desolate hut proved a welcome shelter. "Now," said Natica, recovering her accustomed police, "will you appease my curiosity?" "It's simple enough. After lunch the rest of them wanted to explore the Telmeth cave; I have been there, so I agreed to smoke and await them here. Fact is, I wanted a nap the worst way," he answered. Natica often teased him with an ability to sleep at a moment's notice. "But how did you know I was in that boat?" "I happened to turn my glasses on the villa and, framed in the opening of the pergola, I recognized your blue gown. Then, when I caught a glimpse of that same peculiar blue in the boat, why, then I came after you," finished David lamely, with a constriction in the throat at thought of the moment when he discovered Natica's golden head above the bandage. "The storm ceased and a ray of sunshine shot through the window, revealing the anguish in his look to Natica. "He loves me," she said to herself, "and he shall tell me so," setting her white teeth firmly. "What are we to do now, my lord?" she queried lightly. "If you can climb, we have just about time to meet the returning party at the top of yonder cliff." "I left my slippers in the boat," pouted the girl, thrusting out a tiny silken-clad foot. "You'll have to carry me," dumpling mischievously. Something David read in her eyes made him step forward; then, controlling himself, he asked doubtingly: "What does that look mean, Natica? I swear it was never there before, for me." "Nor for any other man, David." answered the girl, with sweet seriousness. "Tell me," he commanded sternly, still unbelieving. "Whatever you choose, David," she replied, meekly, while vivid waves of color flashed from throat to brow. Then the man of stone melted, and caresses fast, but tender, met her willing lips. The coquette was a woman. They were aroused from their dellirium of happiness by a shout from the top of the cliff, and David and Natica, hand in hand, appeared before the astonished gaze of uncle, "Bless my soul, what, what?" he sputtered, gazing at Natica as if she were a ghost. "We'll tell you all about—everything, when we get up there, sir," shouted David—Boston Post. GEMS' OF THOUGHT. The lion is not so fierce as they paint him.—Herbert.

In the age of witchcraft and superstition it was believed that the fairies built the old kirks in Glasgow and that they had a right to them. So said Mr. W. B. Paterson, lecturing before the Old Glasgow club. The accommodation afforded the parishioners was very different from the present luxurious age. There were no pews in Scottish kirks before the reign of Charles I. The people had to bring their stools with them, and those that did not do this simply sat down on the floor. For the evening service parishioners likewise brought candles and candlesticks. On the question of the separation of the sexes Mr. Paterson mentioned the interesting fact that there still existed a church in the city where this rule was observed.—London Globe. GRAND, GLOOMY AND PECULIAR. There was a marked contrast between Lincoln's manner, which was always pleasant and even genial, and that of Stanton. The latter's stern, spectacled visage commanded instant respect and in many cases inspired fear. In recelying visitors, and they were legion, Stanton seldom or never sat down, but stood before a high desk as the crowd passed before him and one by one presented their requests or complaints, which were rapidly disposed of. He was haughty, severe, domineering and often rude. When I think of him in the daily routine of his public audiences the characterization of Napoleon by Charles Phillips, the Irish orator, comes to mind, "grand, gloomy and peculiar."—From "Lincoln in the Telegraph Office." A RING TRICK. You must have two rings exactly allike, one of which has a notch which admits your cheek. When you have exhibited the perfect ring you change it for the other and privately slip the notch over one side of your mouth, meantime slipping the whole ring on your stick and hiding it with your hand.

WHAT SHE DID WISH. "Well, why don't you say you wish you were a man?" asked Mr. Potts during a little discussion he was having with his spouse about some matters of domestic management. "Because I don't wish anything of the sort," she retorted; "I only wish you were one." 2 REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA By W. E. 8HAW, M. D.' People of African descent throughout the world, and especially in America, have watched with deep concern the negotiations recently concluded, which promise the rehabilitation of the Republic of Liberia. As a race we should be cold and dull indeed if we were unmoved by the heroic struggles of this little Republic to maintain her independence; and right well has she done to keep herself from being swallowed up by European government's doings. On this big continent, the black man's continent, with its 12,000,000 twelve million square miles, the black man has only 31,000 (thirty-one thousand) square miles (Liberia), but great are his possibilities even here. Notwithstanding the late financial misfortunes of the Republic much credit must be given her leaders who have weathered the storms in the sea of state-craft for eighty-eight (88) years. The establishment of the Republic of Liberia has been a remarkable thing in itself. In 1822 a handful of American Negroes were landed on the savage shores of West Africa. They had nothing and, practically no aid has come to them since. In 1847 they declared their independence, and announced their government a republic. From that day they have maintained an orderly, peaceful government, and the only internal disturbances have been those that were inspired by European governments whose territory borders Liberia. The march of events has been wonderful. Think of the past, the sad pages in the history of Liberia and then think of the present. Today she is recognized as one of the world's republics, successfully performing the great duty she has imposed upon herself of playing a noble and righteous part in the redemption of a race and demonstrating that race's ability to stand alone. She has long since passed the age at which it was prophesied she must die, and, thanks to Earnest Lyons and Emmett Scott, her social and political regeneration is at hand. Not only is Liberia helped financially by the recent negotiations, but she is better off because her boundary lines have now been settled in a manner that can permit of no controversy regarding them in the future, and this means much when we know how Great Britain and France have heretofore been chopping off great blocks of her borders as it pleased them. France is now in possession of the rich Ivory Coast which formerly belonged to Liberia. But Liberia is now on surer footing than ever before and it is to be hoped that capital will now turn towards this rich country. The long years of struggles and their attendant miseries of blood and teals have united the people and they are now bent on giving earnest effect to the recent diplomatic achievement of their statesmen, and are joining in prayer to Almighty God to set his seal upon their work. Here we have a territory about the size of the state of Ohio. The climate is healthful and differs but little from that of Florida. Liberia is the only part of West Africa where diamonds have been found, and it is not known what the mountains of her unopened country contain. The soil is fertile and suitable for all kinds of crops, but many improvements are demanded to ensure a reasonable standard of comfort in daily life. With the building of railroads and the coming of other economic necessities, great will be the industrial changes. Already there is cable communication with the outside world. There are forests of rubber, ebony, rosewood, mshogany, acacia, and many other woods which the markets demand. Cotton, rice, sugar cane, coffee, tobacco, corn, cocoa and kola all find favorable soil, as do vegetables. Indigenous to the country are oranges, bananas, pineapples, lemons, mangoes and ground nuts. Chickens, turkeys, guinea fowl, hogs, sheep, cows and goats are found everywhere. It is hoped that the American Negro will be attracted by the wonderful opportunities in this undoubtedly rich country. A company, or persons possessing sufficient working capital, setting out to exploit the resources of Liberia would earn enormous profits in a very short time. There are excellent business opportunities in other parts of Africa, but outside of Liberia Africa is now a "white man's country," and as Dr. Lyons recently stated a handful of white men boss the whole business. The "experiment" in Liberia has contributed a chapter to the history of the race of which we have every reason to be proud. For happiness and security and the opportunity to make profitable investments, Liberia offers opportunities to the American Negro that are not to be found elsewhere. Quittah. Gold Coast, W. A. SCHOOLBOY'S STORY OF JONAH. A school board boy, competing for one of the Peek prizes, evolved this confusion of widely different events. He had to write a short biography of Jonah, and he produced the following: "He was the father of Lot and had two wives. One was called male and the other Hagher.

SECOND ANNUAL CONTEST RESULTS IN VICTORY FOR THE VIRGINIA SCHOOL FISK SCHOOL GOT SECOND The Initiative and Referendum Was the Subject Discussed Washington (Special).—The Triangular Debate league, composed of Atlanta, Fisk and Howard universities, held its second annual contest recently, when representative teams of the three universities met at Atlanta, Ga.; Nashville, Tenn., and Washington, D. C. The subject for debate was; "Resolved, That the initiative and referendum should be made a part of the legislative system of our states." Each university was represented by two teams, one of which argued the affirmative side of the question at home, and the negative away from home. The judges returned a decision in favor of the affirmative, when Howard-Atlanta teams met in Rankin Memorial chapel, Washington, D. C. Messrs S. T. Kelly, 1911; Frank A. Wimberly, 1913; Charles B. Washington, 1912, composed the Washington, and Silas S. Abrams, 1911; Robert B. Jefferson, 1911, and Thomas J. Henry made up the Atlanta team. In the main arguments both sides were evenly matched, but Howard excelled in the rebuttal. The Howard-Fisk debate took place in the Memorial hall on the latter's campus, which in spite of bad weather was filled with enthusiastic students and alumni. Fisk and Howard are long-time rivals and the two teams were the best of their respective schools. Messrs. A. B. Lovette, 1911; J. E. Stamp, 1911, and C. H. Wesley, 1911, made up the Fisk team, and C. B. Aubrey, 1911; J. H. McMorris, 1911; J. M. Jackson, 1911, represented Howard. The latter team proved themselves the better forensic disputants and won the decision. Duplicating the performance of last year, the Washington school thus argued and won both sides of the question debated. The Atlanta-Fisk teams met in Ware Memorial chapel on the former's campus. The Georgian school has not won a debate in five years, and this year the same hoodoo is with her. Atlanta was ably represented by Messrs. King, 1912; F. W. Turner, 1912; L. Jordan, 1911, and Fisk by J. Robertson, 1911; C. H. Payne, 1911; W. G. Upshur, 1911. Both sides showed conclusively that the initiative and referendum should or should not be made a part of the legislative system of our states, yet the Nashville team carried away the victory. The results of this year's debating in the league are identical with those of last year and show Howard to have two wins and no losses; Fisk one won, and one lost; Atlanta two lost and none won. For the two years, Howard leads the league with four victories and no defeats. Fisk has an even break, with two victories and two defeats; Atlanta has four defeats. That the Triangular Debate league has successfully conducted the work for two years speaks well for the management and insures it a permanent place among the intercollegiate organizations. It marks the just successful attempt at organization and co-operation among colored colleges and shows what can be done with proper enterprise and spirit. Victory or defeat are no great matters; the 'essential things are the manly striving to excel and the feeling of friendliness engendered by the intercourse between colleges of different sections. HOME FOR AGED AND INFIRM SENATOR LODGE INTRODUCES A BILL TO CREATE A HOME FOR COLORED PEOPLE. Washington. — (Special.)—Senator Lodge of Massachusetts has introduced a bill for the establishment of a national memorial home for aged and infirm colored people and working girls, and of an industrial farm for boys. The measure provides that the "two hundred thousand dollars due the estates of deceased colored soldiers of the Civil war which was in the hands of the commissioners and Freedmen's Bureau, and has been repaid into the treasury of the United States," shall be appropriated for the establishment of the "home" and the industrial farm. The home is to be in the district and the farm will be located in Virginia. Rev. James L. White is vigorously pushing the bill. .A FEW SCIENCE NOTES. A large Hamburg restaurant is housed in a building of compressed paper. A book dated 1795 contains a description and illustration of a fountain pen. A Russian wedding feast sometimes covers a period of three days. Tribes inhabiting barren lands of vast distances are said to have the best sight. An indie rubber gatherer of Brazil averages sixteen pounds of juice every day. NEGRO REGIMENT WILL BE USED FOR PATROL DUTY IN Washington.—(Special.)—The flurry over the disposition of the Ninth cavalry is at an end. By order of Gen. Leonard Wood, chief of staff, the colored troops will take their turn at patrolling the Mexican border and will replace the Third cavalry, relieving the latter in order that it may have a chance to receive instructions in the maneuver camp at San Antonio. General Carter, in command of the maneuver division, will have charge of the distribution of the Ninth cavalry, and while Sam Fordyce, Laredo, Eagle Pass, Marathon, Presidio del Notre, Marfa, Hancock, Manora and other points on the Rio Grande will be covered, it is expressly stated that under no circumstances will they be sent to Brownsville, of 25th infantry fame. The Ninth will be the divisional cavalry of the maneuver division. The war department will pay no serious attention to the howl raised by a few of the border towns, which do not want a Negro regiment "in their midst." Even the Washington Post has had the generosity to say that "it goes against the grain of a Texas white man to see a Negro in military uniform, manipulating a gun," adding sagely, that "it has the same effect upon them as the waving of a red flag in the face of a bull." The matter of placing the colored troops is always a delicate problem, north or south, and in this particular-instance it is evident that the president and the war department are determined to do their level best to preserve the peace, maintain the dignity of the army establishment, and use the gallant Ninth according to the needs of the service, independent of the whims and absurd fears of the bourbons along the Texan frontier. No one here believes that in stirring up this racial embroglio, Representative Garner has chosen "the better part." MISSISSIPPI'S PREPARATIONS CITIZENS OF MERIDIAN WILL ENTERTAIN SUNDAY SCHOOL CONGRESS IN A LAVISH MANNER. Meridian, Miss.—(Special.)—Plans are completed for the entertainment of the National Baptist Sunday School Congress and Chautauqua which is to be held here June 7 to 12, and will be the greatest convention of Sunday School workers ever held in this country. The plan of calling together the Sunday School workers for the purpose of doing better and more efficient work toward reaching the young people was inaugurated several years ago through the Home Mission board and the National Baptist convention. Interest in the work has grown each year and the delegation has increased untlie now almost-every state in the union is represented by strong men and women who are directly interested in the salvation of the young people. There will be many new features this year of interest to teachers and superintendents of Sunday schools which will add to the large crowd. Departmental meetings will be conducted by expert Sunday school workers which will include superintendents conference, men's Bible class meetings, advanced, intermediate and primary teachers' meeting, missionary and educational conferences. Some of the very best men of the race will take part in these special meetings. Rev. Ford, pastor of Bethel Institutional church, Jacksonville, Fla., who is a graduate of the University of Chicago, will conduct a Bible conference from 8 to 9 each morning during the congress. NEGROES ARE STILL MOVING EXODUS FROM OKLAHOMA TO POINTS IN CANADA IS SAID TO BE INCREASING. Guthrie, Okla. — (Special.) — The exodus of negroes from this state to Alberta, Canada, which started several months ago, is continuing despite the fact that it is not encouraged by the Canadian government. Twenty negro farmers from near Fallis, Lincoln county, left here to join the colony in Alberta. They expect to take claims and immediately build homes and start their crops, after which their families, numbering in all about 200 persons, will join them. It is said here that a colonization company is financing the negroes during the first season. SIGN SEGREGATION ORDINANCE MAYOR OF BALTIMORE AFFIXES HIS SIGNATURE TO NEW LAW AFFECTING NEGROES. Baltimore, Md. (Special).—Mayor J. Barry Mahool has again signaled his hostility to the race by signing the new segregation order. The new measure does not allow any colored people to move into white neighborhoods, and for churches and other places of public assembly to be located therein in the future. It does not affect existing conditions, and as a pretense of being fair, the law is made to apply to the whites also. A penalty of $50 a day awaits any who violate its provisions. THE PERIL OF AN EMPTY SOUL A SERMON. When he is come he andeth it empty, swept and garnished. . . . And they enter in and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first—Matthew, xil, 47-45. There is an unearthly solemnity in the words. They fall with a measured weight. We feel ourselves in the presence of great spiritual facts. We are under the pressure of serious, solemn realities. It all comes home to us if we try to picture the scene. There are the disciples about Christ. Down at his feet, looking up into his face, is the man who has just been healed. Crowding close, to them is the curious crowd, anxious to catch Christ's words, to see what further he will do. And he stands, with unseeing eyes, a faraway look in his face, his glance not meeting theirs; gazing out beyond them, out upon a scene of which they are as yet ignorant. Then he speaks. His words describe a conflict in the spiritual world. An evil spirit, expelled from a soul, wanders here and there seeking rest. By and by he returns to the soul from which he has been cast out. He finds the house of the soul cleansed, swept, set in order—but empty. And because the home has no tenant he enters in, with seven of his companions, and takes up a permanent residence—and the last state of that man is worse than the first. We know how true to life the description is, though we see only the outward part of a struggle whose spiritual significance Christ pictured. Some one we know is possessed by an evil spirit, the spirit of drink, or lust, or sloth, or anger, or cry. By a splendid effort, through God's grace (whether acknowledged or not) the evil is thrown off. He thinks the victory is won. But it is not. Something must take the place of the old old; some new grace must spring up to bear fruit and fill out the life, and give the mind occupation, and supply the heart with a true vocation, or else the temptation comes back with redoubled power. A drunkard is sent to some institution and discharged cured, his friends suppose; but in a short time the sin has him in its grip again; and he falls lower than before, his degradation complete. Why? Because there was nothing to take the place of the old vice, nothing to fill out the life. And without that there could be no real cure. That is the point here, then. It is not enough to cast out sin; something must take its place. We cannot be simply negative Christians; we must be doing something of positive good, or all our lifelong we shall be in peril. This is the spirit of Christianity, and it is one of the things that differentiate Christianity from every other religion system. The Mosaic law said "Thou shalt do no murder." Christ advances upon that. It must no longer be negative; it becomes positive. We must love, or we shall always be hanging on the verge of sin, cherishing hard feeling that may at any moment break out beyond our control. Confucius said, "Never do unto others what you would not have them do to you." What a tremendous advance in moral teaching there is when Christ puts the precept, not negatively but positively. "All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them." And yet how far short of this the ordinary Christian thought runs! How often have, we heard people say "I have never done anyone any harm!" As if that were the Christian ideal! Suppose that nothing more than that could be said of Christ, should the world be worshiping him this holy week? He went about doing good. His was a life of positive deeds. And with us it must be the same. It is dangerous to have it otherwise. For unless the life is filled with positive acts of goodness, active kindness; unless the inner life is maintained by acts of devotion, continued and regular prayer, the soul will be empty, always open to sin, always inviting the attacks of the temper. Mark the point then. The peril of an empty soul; the danger of a merely negative is satisfied at trying to kill vice instead of nourishing virtue. Let me put the idea into two practical suggestions. (1) Your thoughts. What does the mind naturally turn to in those free moments when you are not compelled to think of other things? Thoughts of ambition? or scraps of praise? or anxieties? or grievances? or dislikes? Or, if not these, bits of scandal, or gossip, or the drivel and small talk, or worse, that passes current for literature and conversation in these days? Ah, fill out some of your leisure moments with thoughts that you will be glad to have with you always! Do you remember how St. Paul said, "Whatsoever things are true, are honest, are just, pure, lovely, of good report, if there be any virtue, if there be any praise, think on these things?" He did not mean that we must always be reading our Bibles, or prayer books, or Sunday school literature and religious tracts. What he did mean was that we should fill out leisure time with things worth while. Why do people gossip, except it be because they haven't anything really worth talking about? Read something of real value. Fill your minds with the best thoughts. Then you will have something to fall back upon in times when the brain is tired and work has ceased; better yet your mind will be stored with the things that are worth keeping for the time when the shadows of life lengthen, and the evening comes, and the busy world is hushed, and the fever of life is over, and your last work is done. (2) Not only your thoughts, but your actions. Have a heart full of warm affection for somebody, a mind full of genuine interest in something. Count that day lost, which does not see some act of kindness, thoughtfulness, courtesy, consideration, however small it may be, done for others. The best way to avoid evil is to be so busy doing good that evil finds no place of lodgment in the life. You cannot make progress in the life of religion until you learn that goodness is positive, not negative. Christianity is doing the right, not abstaining from the wrong. We are growing better or worse. Just merely to stand idle at the parting of the ways is to be in danger. The empty house! How pathetic it stands! It may have been swept, cleaned, set in order; but if it is tenantless, the dust-and the rust settle down, and grind in, and mar its beauty, and destroy its usefulness, and bring it to desolation and ruin. Pathetic, too, infinitely more pathetic, is a vacant life. Consider the danger of the empty soul. CHARLES FISKE. ACHIEVEMENTS OF NEGROES BY BOOKER T. WASHINGTON, LL.D. PRINCIPAL OF TUBKEEGE INSTI- TUTE. ALABAMA. The fact that a cooled man, Matt Henson, accompanied Commander Robert E. Poary practically to the north pole on his recent expedition has caused a great deal of comment and discussion. This discussion leads me to remark that the people of America, I fear, do not realize to what an extent negroes have taken part in nearly every important event connected with the history and development of this country. Negroes accompanied the first Spanish explorers and discoverers of America across the Isthmus of Panama with Balboa, and assisted in constructing the first ship that was launched on the Pacific. They were with Cortez in Mexico. A Negro by the name of Little Stephen was the first discoverer of the country of the Zunis, what is now called New Mexico. Negroes were with De Soto in 1840, and the first stranger who settled in the state of Alabama was one of the negroes who accompanied De Soto on his march through that state. A negro accompanied William Clark of Lewis and Clark's expedition, which, in 1840, explored the sources of the Missouri river and gained for the United States the vast and rich extent of land known as the Oregon country. Negroes were among the first adventurers to look for gold in California, and when John C. Fremont, in 1848, made his desperate and disastrous attempt to find a pathway across the Rocky mountains, he was accompanied by a negro named Saunders. Negroes have taken part, so far as I can learn, in all the wars that have been fought on American soil. They fought at Bunker Hill, in the Revolutionary war. In the War of 1812 James Fortin, a negro salamaker of Philadelphia, raised a regiment of negro soldiers to defend the city from the intended attack of the British soldiers. Negroes were in the famous battle on Lake Erie under Perry. They fought on both sides in the Civil war. In the Spanish-American war negroes not only did their full part at El Caney and San Juan Hill, but after these battles were over, they took up the more difficult and more dangerous labor of working in the hospitals in the malaria haunted swamp at Siboney.—The Independent. IN THE SHADOW OF FAME. There are a number of former celebrities who are now running rooming and boarding houses in New York city. Many a singer, actress or writer who formerly held a place in the public eye has now settled down to the prosocial occupation of housing and feeding a small portion of that same public. Their houses are a magnet for young persons with the artistic temperament. One woman who once enjoyed a fair reputation as a violinist has five furnished apartments which she sublets room by room to aspirants for dramatic, operatic and literary honors. Reflected glory rather than physical comfort is the portion of most of these satellites, but the privilege of hobnobbing with yesterday's greatness compensates for material discomfort—New York Press. BIRDS OF A FEATHER. Frederick Leveson-Gower in his reminiscences relates that when he visited Moscow in 1856 for the coronation of Alexander II. "opposite our house during the procession was drawn up a regiment called Paulovskl, formed by the Emperor Paul, all the men having turned up noses and therefore resembling him. It seems it was the fashion to compose regiments of men all having the same features. The late emperor had recruits sent to him and told them off according to their looks. There is one regiment of men all marked with the smallpox." MODERN METHOD. "My books are in very bad shape," said the high financier. "Shall I send for an expert accountant?" inquired the confidential man. "No. Send for an almanac." Troubles That Beset President of Cleveland Automobile Club When He Cut Off Mustache. Fred C. Wood, who presides over the Cleveland Automobile club, became so annoyed the other day by the interference of his wire-haired mustache with his eats, that he excused himself between the clams and the soup, went into the barber shop and in five minutes returned, utterly bald faced, for the first time in his thirty-eight years. When he went home Mrs. Wood, who heard his step, went to open the door but at the sight of a stranger she hastily slammed it in his face. Fred let himself into the house and used up the better part of the evening to square himself. They were just making up when the reconciliation process was interrupted by Fred, Jr., who had spent the evening out. Fred is eleven and observant. "All right for you, ma," he said, as he came into the room. "I'll tell pa when he comes home." So Fred had to introduce himself all over again to his son if only to avert scandal. But he is glad, he says, he took the step. "I always was opposed to strainers," he says. "Now that I have removed the obstacles I shall be able to eat my soup without the aid of a sieve." HE MUST HAVE BEEN SCOTCH Sandy MacPherson's Opinion of Shakespeare, Based on the Talents of the Great Poet. Miss Leonora O'Reilly, in a suffrage address in New York, said: "The more intelligent a man is, the more respect he has, I find, for the intelligence of women. Intelligent men hesitate to say that women are their mental inferiors. But stupid men—dear me!" Miss O'Reilly smiled. * "The conceit of the stupid man reminds me of Sandy MacPherson. Sandy, in a Peebles public house, told an Englishman that all the great poets were Scotch. “‘But how about Shakespeare?’ cried the Englishman. ‘Can you say he was Scotch?’ “‘His talents,’ was the reply, ‘would justify that supposition.’” HOW TO CARE FOR ONION BEDS In his advice to backyard gardeners regarding onion cultivation, James B. Sherwood writes in the Louisville Courier-Journal as follows: "Be sure that your onion beds receive plenty of water and with regularity. After the ground has been irrigated till it will not absorb any more wait until the surface soil has dried out somewhat and then give the plants a little surface cultivation, just enough to keep the soil sifted and to prevent any possible caking around the roots." "If you are trying to raise onions on a semi-muck soil watch to see that your surface soil does not bake following a heavy rainstorm. Keep it well stirred and free of,weeds and you should have a flourishing bed of onions." HOW TO BUY FURNISHINGS. If you had to furnish a home, but had very little means, what would you buy first? This is a problem that many young women have had to solve and that will have to be solved in the future by many more. The best thing to do is to buy only necessary articles at first and to buy furnishings of good quality. It is far better to have a few good household articles, and the touch of a woman's hand over all than to have a house full of cheap things that only "make a show." Buy slowly and well. It is not quantity that counts in the long run. Quality coupled with artistic arrangement is the essential thing. THE ONE EXCEPTION. Seymour—I hear that Snodkin owes everybody in the city. Ashley—Don't you believe it; that report is a cruel exaggeration; I was personally assured by Davis that Snodkin didn't owe him and never had owed him a single cent. Seymour—Davis? Who is Davis? Ashley—Why, he's the stamp clerk in the postoffice. HER WISH. "So you let him say that and get away with it! Oh—oh—oh—!" "I suppose you wish you had been born a man?" "No, I wish you had!" How Women May Color Their Own Ribbons, Laces and Trimmings at Small Cost. Many women like to dye their own ribbons, Laces and trimmings. To know how to dye successfully is putting money into one's own purse. Frequently it is impossible to get trimmings to match a gown, but if one knows how to dye they are soon obtained. Here are a few hints to home dyers. First test the shades and you will soon learn that it takes less dye for chiffons and fine materials than it does for cotton and other thick goods. Before the materials are dipped they should first be placed in water and wrung out. If a small piece of soda is dissolved in the water in which the dye is mixed it will prevent streaks and patchiness. Different shades are made by combining two or more common colors. Salmon pink is made by adding a little cream color to pink. A rich, dark coral, so fashionable now, is made by adding brown to the pink. Turquoise is obtained when a very little pale green is added to pale blue. A beautiful golden brown results when yellow is mixed with brown. To obtain peacock green you must add a touch of pale blue to apple green, while the pretty mass green is made by adding a very little rich black to dark green. Heliotrope will come when blue is added to pink. PROF KNOWITT KNOWITT YOUR PARTNER The Palmist, (gazing thoughtfully on palm of strange gentleman) —I can see that you are a suburbanite. Suburbanite—How in the world can you tell that? The Palmist—By the corns. Suburbanite—Corns? The Palmist—Yes. You have been using the rake so much you have corns in your palms. DIDN'T STOP THE CLOCK. At a prayer meeting where about twenty neighbors were assembled, one night, were the new minister and his wife. The neighbors were just becoming acquainted with them, as they had only been in the place a week. After the prayers were over, little Willie, the son and heir of the house, came in the room carrying a large nine-day clock. He placed it upon the center stand, facing the minister's wife. "Why, dear child," she asked, "what are you doing with the clock?" "Going to try a 'speriment,' replied Willie. With a mysterious gesture he laid his finger on his lips and enjoined silence. No one stirred. Soon he clapped his hands in exultation. "She goes! She goes!" he exclaimed. "But why wouldn't it go?" asked the minister's wife. "Because papa said at the dinner table that your face would stop a nine-day clock."—P. L. Stillman, New York. TURTLE SHELL SWING. A novel baby's swing, made by a black father for his youngest infant, is to be seen in a grassbuilt house on one of the small islands of the Torres straits. Suspended from the low roof by four lengths of home-made twine is a polished shell of a large hawksbill turtle, back uppermost. Hanging about 18 inches below this shell is another large shell, the inside uppermost. The underneath shell is lined with soft material, and the baby placed therein. The whole swing is polished to perfection. When mosquitoes are troublesome a mosquito net hangs curtain fashion from the cradle roof. NATURAL AFFINITY. "I wonder how the dog came to bite Jaggs?" Published Every Saturday 462 West Broad Street. Phone 2171. Entered at the Post Office at Savannah, Ga., as Second-Class mail matter. SATURDAY, MAY 13, 1911 From present outlooks the board of education will receive a larger amount for the school fund this year than ever. It is hoped that out of this increase provision will be made for the badly needed colored school. It is gratifying to note that the True Reformers have been permitted to resume business by the insurance commissioner of Virginia. This institution has branches in many states of the union, and the announcement will be gladly received. It is hoped that the old members will fall to the support of the order, and that such business methods will be pursued as to rejuvenate the organization and return it to its former prestige for good. "Bro. Johnson of The Savannah Tribune strongly objects to the promiscuous reading of notices at the church services in Savannah. The church he says should not be used as an advertising rostrum. The Tribune man is quite right. He suggests that these notices be upon a bulletin board for all to read who wish. "The Georgia Baptist suggests that a better way would be to give these notices to the public through the columns of The Tribune."—Georgia Baptist. The excursion and picnic season is upon us and no doubt plans have already been arranged for the spending of thousands of dollars in this direction. Efforts should be made to discontinue the indiscriminate giving of these trips which not only cause our people to needlessly spend thousands of dollars, but some of them cause trouble and but few of them leave a claryty moral atmosphere. It is known that The Tribune is benefitted largely by the giving of these outings on account of the patronizing of our Job Printing Department, but we are unselfish when it comes to that which benefits the mass of our people. Here is hoping that at least there will be fewer excursions this season than there were during last season. The efforts which the city authorities are making to break up the disreputable "Black and Tan" houses of ill repute on the West and East sides should meet with the hearty approval of all of the good citizens of the town. These houses of ill repute have been doing an inestinable amount of harm to the good name of our city and the quicker they are put out of commission the better off will our city be and the safer for our boys and girls of tender age. It is an undeniable fact that the authorities have been too lenient with the proprietresses of these resorts and now that they have begun a wiping out campaign against them it is hoped that they will not relax their vigilance against them until they have been entirely closed up and the nefarious practice which they have been carrying on for years forever stamped out. The custom of white men and Negro women and white women and Negro men intermingling in these houses of ill repute has been entirely too general and we welcome the day when it will be thoroughly and forever put an end to for if it allowed to go much further it will undoubtedly lead to a complication of affairs which will be the source of much trouble between the races here in Savannah and the time to stop it is now. Of course we appreciate the fact that houses of questionable character are to be found in every city of any size and will ever be found in Savannah but what we desire is to place some restrictions upon them and keep the races apart. But this cannot be accomplished by simply raiding the houses in question but the way to make it more lasting is to prohibit white men and women from frequenting resorts run by Negro women and stop Negro men and women from entering the houses of the white keepers. Let the police be instructed to exercise the power vested in them and keep an open eye on these places favoring neither white nor black proprietresses but doing their full duty in prohibiting this habit from growing in proportions and nipping it in the bud where- ever it is seen to spring up anew. And in connection with the campa- main started against this evil we want the recorder to know that the better element of Negroes are much gratified to know that whenever a case of the "black and tan" variety is brought up before him the offenders regardless of color are given the full extent of the law. We-believe that by the recorder acting impartially in this matter and doing his utmost to break up the habit it will not be long before a change for the better will be seen and that through his efforts, the vigilance of the police and the proper handling of the matter by the city authorities it will not be long before we are rid of this damaging evil. "Choral Club" Taken to Task. Savannah, Ga. May 6, 1911. Mr. Editor. In your issue of May 6th, there appeared an article under the caption of "Criticism for good," signed by "Choral Club." The writer of that article, judging from the character of the article in question, should have signed himself merely "Club" and left off the "Choral" part of it entirely. "Choral Club's" little article had a peculiar ring to it: It would impressed one as a feeble attempt of a small person to work out some grievance that he had been holding against the Master of Ceremonies. I am a little afraid to use the pronoun "he," because it does not sound like the writing of a man. I hasten on, Mr. Editor, to say that I was present on the occasion referred to by "Choral Club" and my knowledge of music and musical affairs puts me in a position to commend not only Mme. Brown's singing but also the numbers rendered by the other participants on the program and the "Master of Ceremonies" in that he was able to produce an entertainment of merit under very adverse circumstances. The "Master of Ceremonies" on the occasion mentioned, acted in his capacity only after making several requests of me and getting my refusal to do so. I venture to say that of the few "of refined tastes" who were present, the majority never have noticed that the "Master of Ceremonies" was chewing at all and certainly would not feel that they had been subjected to any indignity on that occasion. In closing, I would advise "Choral Club" to look to larger things, to keep under subjection any personal differences which his article unquestionably seems to suggest, to work for a "Greater Savannah" and a greater Union among our own people and in spare time to take long walks in the fresh air, remembering that "There is so much good in the worst of us, And so much bad in the best of us, That it behooves none of us To talk about the rest of us." I am yours very truly, Chas. A. R. McDowell. Editor Savannah Tribune, Dear Sir— The Savannah Choral Club wishes to inform the public that the article in last week's issue signed "Choral Club" should not be construed as to have any connection with the Savannah Choral Club whatever and that the sentiment of the Club is decidedly against any such writing as the article just mentioned. Very Respectfully Savannah Choral Club Chas A. R. McDowell, Secretary. Savannah, Ga., May 10, 1911. Christian Tolerance. Christian Tolerance. To the Editor of The Savannah Tribune Dear Sir: Kindly allow me a little space in your paper to make a few remarks concerning a fact, which happened last Sunday and which is appreciated by the colored Catholics of Savannah. It was doubtless only a mere coincidence that on the same day two colored Protestant ministers made the qualifying references of the Catholic Church and the more of the Catholics. As it is not an unusual fact, it deserves special mention. The first speaker, who was heard at the Second Baptist Church, spoke in a very flattering manner about the Catholic Church in general and of her great teachings and splendid organizations. The second speaker, in a fine address at the Sunday Club, referred in eloquent words to the general work accomplished by the Catholic Church and the Catholic Priests in Savannah and especially to the fine schools they are conducting for the education of colored children. We thank the reverend speakers for those passing references, which are highly appreciated by their Catholic brethren in the city. They have rendered to the Catholics a greater service than they are probably aware of. They have contributed in some way to the dispelling of the old prejudice which still exists amongst many Protestants; they have diminished a certain amount of fear and shyness which may have been proletarians also. From the Catholics and their church; in certain quarters even there is still bitterness which is not compatible with the christian spirit. But it cannot be denied that many Protestant ministers are responsible for those unchristian feelings which their people entertain towards their Catholic brethren. Sometimes out of ignorance, sometimes out of malice, they refer to the Catholic Church, her doctrine and her institutions in terms which cannot but cause wrong ideas and unkind feelings in the minds and hearts of their people. I am personally acquainted with some of the colored Protestant ministers; they are true christian gentlemen; they are of the educated class. But I have heard of other ministers (these are of the uneducated) who avail themselves of the opportunity to belittle the Catholics and their organizations in the estimation of their congregation; that are, as a rule, good simple people and easily led into error. To give only one instance: some time ago a certain colored minister went around in a district where the Catholics have a school and told the people not to send their children to the Catholic school "because the Catholics cannot teach." Only an incorrigible old Bigot could or would do such a thing. If the Reverend had a school of his own (but he has none) nobody would deny him the right to tell the people of his congregation to send the children to his school. But to go around and spread slander and calumny amongst good innocent people is certainly unchristian and unmany. The Reverend probably belongs to those who in their ignorance and prejudice prefer to see the colored child deprived of all education rather than to receive the good moral training, imparted in the Catholic schools. The Reverend in question would do better to stay home and study the meaning of the eight Commandment. I avail myself of this opportunity to congratulate The Tribune for its noble and Christian principles in reference to the different denominations. I have read The Tribune during three years and I have never found in it a single word against the Catholics; on the contrary in many instances it has given an impartial and kind tribute to the Catholic Church and the Catholic priests in their self sacrificing work amongst the colored people in Savannah. Thanking you for this valuable space; I am, dear sir, Yours truly, Jos. A. Dahlent. St. Benedict's Rectory, Savannah, Ga. Charity Hospital Tag Returns.

Church Dots. F. B. B. Church Dots. The balmy air and bright sunshine of Sunday morning was quite an inducement to church goers to attend church. Quite a number accompanied Rev. Wright to Nicholsonboro where he conducted the services at the Nicholsonboro Baptist Church. After very interesting services and communion, they returned home. At night the seating capacity of the church was taxed to seat the very large crowd that attended the service. Wright was St. John 9:35, "Dost thou believe on the Son of God." He gave in his introduction the incidents leading to and the reason why this question was asked. The sermon held the very large congregation spellbound from beginning to end. The choir sang "There is joy." Rev. Wright led the lymph "Shall we go on to sin." He pleadingly invited the unconverted to the mercy-scat telling them of the danger in delay. A large crowd bowed, prayer was offered. Our revival is still going on and we would be pleased to have you call at any service. St. Philips Dots. Rev. John A. Cappus filled the pulpit at 11 a.m., Sunday. His text Matt. 4-22 theme "The Servant's call." Rev. Cappus preached a plain, practical sermon his discourse was enjoyed by the many that were out to hear him. Rev. Cappus has been recently elected to the Local Eldership of St. Philips, and has made marked improvement since filling that position. Rev. Singleton preached at 8:30 p. m., his text was-Numbers 24-8-9. "To us a son is given, unto us a child is given." As usual his sermon was full of interest from start to finish.

Memoriam Mrs. ELIZABETH WAYNE SIMPSON, who departed this life May 8, 1910. "Noble soul! Gentle heart! Thy day has come, not gone, Thy sun has risen, not set; Thy life is now beyond The reach of death or change Not ended but begun." One year ago to-day God in His wisdom broke our family circle by calling from earth our beloved husband and father, JAMES GREENE, who was born in Beaufort, S. C., Jan. 7, 1852 and died in Savannah, Ga., May S. 1910. Dear James, thou art 'gone but not forgotten." In Laurel Grove cemetery, Not many yards away; Lies our dear husband and father, Neath the cold, cold clay. Memories oft returning Of your pleasant ways and smiles; Dear husband, I shall try to be faithful, And meet you in the skies. Now your chair is vacant; Caused by death of you. Your dear form is absent, Father, kind and true: Evermore you dwell Where pleasure never dies. Dear father, we shall try to be faithful, And meet you in the skies. When in true repentance To our Saviour flee He who called our dear one, Soon His face we shall see. He hath promised comfort. Faith shall be our guide. Loved one, if we be faithful, We shall meet you in the skies. and children, Eugene, Carlotta, James, Vernon, Milton. St. Mary's Dots.

Paris Dress SHIRTS FLAXON LAWNS APRON CHECKS Men's and Women's HOSIERY Men and Women FURNISHINGS The Farm THE COW'S APPETITE. A dalryman should never complain because his cows eat too much. The more they eat, the more milk they will give. Not long since a friend of ours went to look at a cow with the purpose of buying her. The owner seemed to take pleasure in reciting how little feed she consumed. He did not take that cow, but did buy another one, which the man said was seating her head off. She is a big eater, and the milk pail shows it. In these days we do not care to hear many dalrymen brag of how little their cows eat. Small feeding cows usually have pinched stomachs. We need cows with large, protruding barrels, for they are the kind that eat much and make good use of what they eat. The cow that never eats much pays it back by never producing much. Streams of milk take their origin in a cow's stomach. When there is a flood of feed at the fountain head, there is usually an overflow at the pail—Agricultural Epitomist. - GROWING TOBACCO. Tobacco is a profitable crop, provided the grower does not allow his land to become impoverished. While the majority of growers seldom make mistakes in its cultivation, yet when it comes to selling the crop they are not so careful as may be required. High prices will be obtained if the tobacco is assorted, separating the short from the long, the light from the dark and the imperfect from the good, as every grade varies from the other in price. The buyer of tobacco usually makes a close examination, and if the tobacco is well assorted inspection is facilitated, and the grower makes a reputation that will assist him in securing better prices in the future. FARM RECORDS. If a farm is to be conducted as a business enterprise, it follows that some system of accounting must be adopted which will permit a close analysis of each enterprise conducted in connection. An inventory should be taken at the end of each year as a basis of comparison of the business for the year. An account should be opened with each crop grown, as wheat, oats, corn, hay or orchard, also with the various classes of live stock, as cows, swine, sheep, poultry or horses, and with all labor also, and each enterprise charged with the amount consumed in carrying forward the work. Journal of Agriculture: DON'T BURN YOUR CORNSTALKS. The old practice of burning corn-stalks in the field is still practiced in some localities, and its wastefulness does not seem to be understood. While stalks may have but little value as manure, they have a good deal In the production of humus, and farming on land devoid of humus is a heartbreaking proposition. The cutting and plowing under of the stalks involve no more labor than do the breaking and burning, while the former process saves all of their value to the land; Ashes from cornstalks do not make good manure.-Kansas Farmer. NEW WAY TO GROW POLE BEANS. It is apparently not necessary to use poles in growing lima beans. It has been found by accident, says Southern Orchards and Homes, that if the vines are clipped off when they are about two feet high and new runners are clipped as soon as they appear the vines will produce immense crops and continue to do so until frost. This is in marked contrast to brush limas, which have a comparatively brief bearing period. Give the limas plenty of room, two feet or even three feet each way. ALFALFA BETTER THAN RED CLOVER. Secretary Coburn states that a grower in southern Kansas who harvests about 1,000 tons of alfalfa per year and is working with it nearly every day from the second week in May until November 10 insists that alfalfa, under the same conditions of rainfall, is much easier to save in fair feeding condition than red clover.—Kansas Farmer. FARM NOTES. Give the pigs a little salt now and then. Give the store hogs clover or alfalfa every day. Be sure that there is lots of sunshine in the stable on chilly days. It does some people good to get into an argument about their fancy stock. It makes them think. Much of the refuse from the family eating table can be used to good advantage in the hen pen. Improved machinery is one of the strongest factors of better farming. Important changes are being made every year. Much of the waste material about the farm can be profitably utilised and turned into money in the shape of chickens and eggs. The rural population is shrinking. Land is so high priced and intelligence is so necessary to success that the farmer who does not put brains into his work is losing out and his more studious neighbor is absorbing his land. The state course of study puts agriculture into the seventh and eighth grades. That is altogether too late. The little child should be privileged to learn of the familiar life around him in school instead of from books alone. In this enthusiastic wave of popular interest we must see to it that we do not lose sight of the three Rs in installing the three Hs—the head, hand and heart—Prof. Fred L. Charles. WHEEL HOE A GOOD THING IN THE GARDEN. One of the most indispensable garden tools is the wheel hoe. The cost is small, and a surprising amount of labor will be saved, especially in gardens where horse cultivation is not practicable. Wheel hoes can be obtained with a variety of attachments. A seeding attachment is a great convenience in planting the seed, as seed of all kinds can be planted, covered and the ground packed all at one operation. The cultivating attachments comprise several kinds of shovels and harrow teeth. With two or three of these attachments to meet varying conditions the weeds can be kept down with little hand hoeing. WHEN A PASS IS NOT A PASS. The federal courts have declared that a pass to a farmer taking stock to market is not a free pass at all. If the farmer did not go along with the stock the railroads would have to hire a man to take care of it or pay heavy damages if any of the cattle got down and were trampled to death for want of care. The fact is, the farmer works his way and more than pays his passage. A railroad receiving stock in good condition is bound to deliver it in good condition, and, this requires a caretaker on the journey. The railroads are in duty bound to carry a farmer in return for the work that he does.—Field and Farm. DON'T TRANSPLANT TOO EARLY. Nothing is gained by setting out plants too early in the spring, as the cold will give them a setback that they may never fully overcome. Plants may be seasoned by exposing them to the sun during warm days and giving them, plenty of ventilation at night when not too cold. Much damage done to plants which is ascribed to frost is really caused by twisting which the plant receives from the winds. A supply of little frames to protect them should be on hand. Tomatoes, peppers and eggplant are especially susceptible to injury by high winds. Agricultural Epitomist. TONIC FOR SHEEP. A mixture of copperas, sulphur and salt makes a good tonic for sheep; one which many no doubt will need at this season of the year. It tends to purify the blood and to help the animal in its fight against worms and other troublecome parasites. About six parts of salt to one each of copperas or sulphur makes the right proportion. If this is kept constantly before the sheep, inside the barn, where moisture cannot reach it they will eat freely of it, and will undoubtedly be greatly benefited by it. It seems to tone up their condition generally.—Rural World. BALED HAY VERSUS LOOSE. Baled hay is easier to handle in marketing or feeding, occasions less loss in handling than the bulky product and will occupy but a small space in the barn or any outbuilding, where it will be safe from rains and where the stock cannot get at it. If you have a very great amount of this surplus product it will pay you to purchase a baler of your own—Rural New Yorker. POULTRY PICKINGS. In making a kerosene emulsion of any kind for the eradication of lice, mites, files, etc... great care must be taken to see that the combination is surely emulsified or serious results may follow and more hide be "eradicated" than anything else. Don't use soap that has resin in it to wash your white birds for the show pen. Sticks the feathers up too much. Drive the scale from the legs of your birds by using plain gas tar. Some other things are pretty good; this best of all. Eggs should be kept dry at all times. It is advisable to feed several different kinds of grains to fowls to stimulate appetite and keep up health. Corn, wheat, barley and rye are all relished, but neither one should be fed exclusively. Give the fowls a variety. Pigeon grass is becoming widely distributed in the east. The seed hns much nutritive value and is fine for turkeys and chickens. BRYAN ADDRESSES COLORED Y. M. C. A. "PEERLESS LEADER" DELIVERS INTERESTING TALK TO NEGROES IN WASHINGTON. Eloquent Nebraskan Exhorted the Race to Adhere to Y. M. C. A. Ideas. Washington (Special). — William Jennings Bryan, orator, editor, statesman and sometime candidate for president of the United States, was the chief attraction at a monster meeting of the colored branch of the Y. M. C. A. Spacious and beautiful Howard theater was packed to the doors with one of the finest audiences of Afro-Americans gathered anywhere between the oceans. The Y. M. C. A. has never held a meeting that rivaled this one in point of numbers or enthusiasm, save that addressed last year at the Belasco theater by Dr. Booker T. Washington. The "peerless leader" of the militant democracy was cheered to the echo at frequent intervals throughout the half hour covered by his address, and although nothing of political or radical nature was brought out in the talk, Mr. Bryan was visibly pleased with the tumultuous and sincere ovation accorded him by an audience of colored citizens in this cosmopolitan capital. The address of Mr. Bryan to the colored Y. M. C. A. was the first of the four speeches delivered by him in Washington. His theme was "Civilization," and the immeasurable influence of the Y. M. C. A. movement in advancing the highest type of civilization was dwelt upon in an entertaining and convincing fashion. He was a charter member of the organization in his home community, and regarded his card of identification as one of the proudest possessions. The eloquent Nebraskan exhorted the men to adhere strictly to the Y. M. C. A. idea, to support it with their voice, their influence and their money. It is cheaper, he said, to prevent crimes by remedial policies than to repair the evil consequences growing out of vice. He stated that the heart should not be neglected for the training of the mind; that a strong body is essential to a strong heart and a strong mind. He said that man had been able to measure the breadth of a message in telegraphy, but that no man had yet been able to measure the breadth of a message of friendship and brotherly love which emanated from the heart. The Y. M. C. A., the speaker said, affords a general training which no other organization can give. It trains the heart, the soul and the physical body. Mr. Bryan was happily introduced by Mr. Lewis E. Johnson, the capable secretary of the colored branch. At the close of the address of the distinguished guest, Mr. Bryan was whirled away in the high powered automobile of Dr. C. W. Cavaniss to Continental hall, where another immense audience awaited him. At the Howard theater, following Mr. Bryan, a magnificent address was delivered by Dr. C. F. Barbour of New York, international committee of the Y. M. C. A. The Elks Glee club, led by Mr. Louis Ambler, sang, and the Wilberforclan orchestra rendered a number of selections under the direction of Prof. J. Sherman Hunnicutt. ALABAMA LEGISLATURE GENEROUS LIBERAL APPROPRIATIONS MADE FOR NEGRO EDUCATION AND INSTITUTIONS. Montgomery, Ala. (Special).—The Alabama state legislature, which has just adjourned, surprised the colored people by its liberality toward colored education. The Federation of Women's Clubs in Alabama has for a number of years been supporting a reformatory at Mount Melgs, and aside from that other colored citizens have been supporting another reformatory at Tuscaloosa, Ala. To the surprise and gratification of every one in the state, the Alabama legislature passed a bill making a liberal appropriation to both these reformatories, taking over both of them as state institutions, and making annual appropriations for their support and government in the future. So Alabama in the future, instead of having a reformatory will have two reformatories for delinquent colored youth. Aside from this liberality, the state legislature made an especial appropriation of $15,000 for repairs and improvement to the state normal school in Montgomery, and doubled the appropriation for the state normal school. Besides all this, the state appropriated a liberal sum to be used in conducting colored summer schools. Your correspondent gives these facts to the public, not forgetting that the state makes regular appropriations to the Tuskegee Institute and to the Institution at Normal, Ala. It is the consensus of opinion that to Rev. A.F. Owen is largely due the credit for the action of the legislature toward negro uplift in Alabama. While Rev. Owen is not a member of the legislature he was present most of the time the legislature was in session and was consulted freely by members whenever the subject of colored education or colored interests came to the front. NEGROES SHOULD BE PATIENT PESSIMISTIC, VIEWS HAVE NEVER DONE ANY RACE ANY GOOD. Thomasaston, Ga. — (Special.)—Rev. Richard D. Stinson of Atlanta, by invitation, spoke to the colored people here on "Practical Education for the Masses—How It Will Adjust Conditions, Aid Amicable Relations and Develop the New South." Stinson said, among other things: Stinson said, among other things, "If history and the version of good people are to be regarded it takes a long time to lay the foundation of a race. Whatever irregularities exist among us, there is no question but that the conscience of the best people in every community, as well as the high-class and honest press of our section are fully cognizant that 'righteousness exalthet a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.' "An unselfish, honest, pure and intelligent leadership, backed up by a practical schoolhouse where we live, is the greatest asset of the negro race for fifty years to come. "The south is the home of the large numbers of our race for years, and an optimistic leadership will mean everything good to our children. Pessimistic views and unwise preachments can but add gloom and depravity." RELIGION AIDS THE NEGRO SO DECLARES RICHARD D. STINSON IN A SPEECH AT LITTLE ROCK, ARK. Little Rock, Ark.—(Special.—Rev. Richard D. Stinson of Atlanta, Ga., preached the Easter day sermon in Bethel A. M. E. church here. Rev. Dr. J. O. Iverson, who is a prominent leader of his race in this city, and is building a $40,000 church, is pastor. Among other things, Stinson said: "The celebration of Easter should mean more to us, as a race, than display of fine clothes and a jolly good time. We were brought to this country some years ago with nothing that we could call our own; in fact, we were heathen, and when we recount the progress we have made we should be the most grateful of all people on the earth. The religion of Jesus Christ, the American schoolhouse and good people have done everything for the negro. I wonder if we are capable in large numbers of appreciating it, and if we may keep sober, and practical education is given a chance, with a Christian leadership, it has not yet appeared what the conservative, honest members of our race are to be." COLORED WAITERS LOSE JOB WHITE MAN AND WIFE TAKE PLACE OF NEGRO WAITERS ON DINING CARS. Sloux City, Ia.—(Special.)—The Chicago and Northwestern railway has recently been trying out an innovation in its dining car service which thus far has brought most successful results according to officials of the road. Negro walters have been eliminated on the ca-farparl car operated between Chicago and Sloux City, Ia., on trains No. 20 and 17 for the last six months, and in their places a white man and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Garnler, have been placed in complete charge of the car. Mr. Garnler dispensed with the colored waiters and has himself acted as conductor and assistant waiter while Mrs. Garnler has served as waitress. NEW WHITE MAN'S HOPE BOSTON IS TOUTING A MAN TO TAKE CHAMPIONSHIP AWAY FROM JACK JOHNSON. Boston, Mass.—(Special.)—Another possible "white man's hope" was uncovered in the opinion of many persons at the national-amateur boxing championship tournament at Mechanics' hall, when John Severino, a 200-pound member of the Armory A. A. of Boston won the heavyweight championship, by disposing of Joseph Burk Cox, also of Boston, in fifty-seconds with a sledgehammer right. It had required only two rounds for him to put away T. J.

The negroes of Oklahoma now seeking homes in Canada must do one of two things or they will find out in time that they have fled nothing. They think to have fled prejudice and discrimination in various forms. The poet speaking of the Pilgrim fathers asked, "What seek they thus asaf? Bright jewels of the mine? They sought a faith's pure shrine." Nor is the cause of those present day pilgrims less sacred—they seek a sphere of ingolated right and privileges making for man in his best estate and in consonance, we would think, with the will of the Master—and with surety if the Master's will is equal to the highest aspirations of men as we are taught, and as we now understand them to be. If the colonists would maintain their freedom as well as their land, they will have to "sow" with the end in view. The much-hated segregation idea will have to take on new meaning, becoming the very bed rock of their municipal corporations. These corporations will have to become vivid with industry, the same as characterizes communities of white people, where are heard the shuffle of many feet at the behests of industrialism. Stagnated spots, will, as we think, be counted eye-sores, and which unlike that — spot of Macbeth's will out. The white man's all-pervading example is felt. There is no reason why such communities should not be white in everything excepting in name. There is a way! It is for resolute people to find. Will they do it? The end of such communities should be seen from the beginning, a very impossible thing one will say—all will say. The very next best thing, however, is not impossible, and that is to have the end well in mind and be thus governed. If the segregation idea is not strictly adhered to, then it follows that the colonists must distribute themselves in small lots among the settlers, of their new homes. They need not expect to go so far as to escape the white man's inquisitive nose. He will be there with his prejudices which are a part of him just as his eyes and ears are parts of him, and which he can no more throw down than a leopard can doff his skin of spots. The smaller number of negroes, as it is known everywhere, do not call for the feeling of opposition that is noted where the race is in great numbers. This opposition is borne, because, if avoided, much of the things that make for life would be lost. This means the advantages of the height of civilization, good situations and wages, things and conditions not to be had when blazing the way in a trackless wilderness. Those of the exodus seek "a faith's pure shrine," that ultra democracy of citizenship where the individual is measured by his worth and not by the pligment of his skin or the texture of his hair. This they will receive—enter into the higher citizenship if they are true to the lessons that point the way. Their birthright is about to be established, and which should not be sacrificed for baule or caprice. Life is the resultant of death; the forerunners will scarcely expect to see their promised land—their land in its glory. But they need not for evidences; they are about them. The terms are given; the result is assured in the event of correct processes.—The Indianapolis Freeman. CICERO ON WIT. There are witty sayings which carry a concealed suspicion of ridicule, of which sort is that of the Sicilian who, when a friend of his made lamentation to him saying that his wife had hanged herself upon a fig tree, said: "I be seech you give me some shoots of that tree that I may plant them." Of the same sort is that Crassus said to a certain bad orator who, when he imagined that he had excited compassion at the close of a speech, asked our friend here after he had sat down whether he appeared to have raised pity in the audience. "Very great pity," replied Crassus, "for I believe that there is no one there so hard-hearted but that your speech seemed pliable to him."—Cicero's Oratory. A 8TRANGE LIKENESS. An extraordinary resemblance has recently been discovered at the London Natural History museum between a specimen of the huge African elephant and the pygmy shrew mouse. Sir E. Ray Lankester suggested comparison of the two, and the result has been that practically every bone, muscle, blood vessel and nerve of the giant beast has been found identically produced in the little animal, which is scarcely two inches in length. In the museum a stuffed mouse has been placed between the forefeet of its enormous mounted prototype for the purpose of showing the curious likeness. NOT AT ALL NECESSARY.

Dentist (after examination)—And will you have gas, madame? Nervous Patient—You don't suppose I'm going to let you tinker with my teeth in the dark, do you? The housing of negroes is attracting the attention of the larger cities, east and west. The negro of the better sort is prospering; he demands and can pay for a better home with more favorable surroundings than he could afford a few years ago. Hence the negro "invasions" of neighborhoods hitherto white such as have disquieted parts of Chicago and have led to drastic endeavors at regulation, as in Baltimore. Conditions being as they are, interest attaches to the recent action of a negro church in New York. Its plan is to colonize comprehensively yet compactly in the vicinity of the church edifice. The organization has purchased a block of 25 six-story apartment buildings; it will dispossess the 220 white families now in occupancy, and provide for its own parishioners suitable accommodations at fair rentals together with a satisfactory and harmonious environment. The church looks beyond the social, religious and humanitarian phases of the undertaking and sees an investment that is calculated to bring a good six per cent. This particular example doubtless shows a greater command of financial means and of financial ability than many colored congregations possess. But the trend is, on the whole, upward, and this method of solving a vexed problem may profitably engage the attention of prospering negro communities in other cities. The above editorial appeared in the Chicago Record-Herald to which we wish to add, that the effort on part of the "Better Sat" of colored people to get into better homes is not due to that haunting fear of the ordinary class of whites, a desire for "social equality," or social intimacy, but a desire on part of the colored people to have their families live under the most favorable moral influence possible. The colored people have long ago realized that they are not the social equal of some races, but the moral equal of any race, and just so long as the municipal authorities make colored communities the dumping ground for the vice and immorality of all races; just so long will the colored man cause "disquiet" to some white men. Colonization will not solve the problem. Enforcement of law, and the same maintenance of the same moral conditions in and through the cities are the only things that will stop invasion of neighborhoods hitherto white.—New York Age. THIRKIELD NOT TO RESIGN PRESIDENT OF HOWARD UNIVERSITY HAS NO INTENTION OF QUITTING HIS POSITION. Washington (Special).—There is absolutely no truth in the rumor circulated by certain irresponsibles to the effect that President Thirkield is to resign the headship of Howard. university. Dr. Thirkield says there has never been such a thought in his mind and that no talk of a successor has ever been brought to his attention. He says he will continue to perform his duties as usual. *No member of the board has heard of any such rumor from any reliable source, and are paying no attention to the gabble of chronic enemies of the school. The story of the alleged resignation of President Thirkeld is said to have had its foundation among some of the friends of Messrs. Gregory and Washington, who vainly imagint that it will do the young men good to thus attempt to embarrass the president of the university by circulating this falsehood. Attorney Cobb gives no countenance to these puerile tactics, and purposes to fight the battle on its merits. It is generally felt that the two teachers were punished in excess of the demands of the situation, and they have a host of level headed admirers who would be glad to see them reinstated; but they say that the determination of the case is a matter with which the president, the faculty and trustees, together with the counsellors, are more qualified to deal than mere laymen, with meager knowledge of the facts. No good knowledge is served by inviting a malicious warfare on Dr. Thirkeld the spreading broadcast a fake "resignation" story, with the wish the father of the thought. SAYING OF GREAT MEN.

Of Interest to Our Women Fashion Notes An Earache Remedy. Onions are an old-fashioned but useful remedy for relieving earache where it is merely otalgia, proceeding probably from cold. Get a Spanish or large common onion, put in the oven, or cut in half and roast (holding on a toasting fork) before the fire. When quite hot place on the ear, covered over (both sides) with thin flannel or linen. Continue to apply, putting the onions on as hot as they can be borne, till the pain is relieved or gone. As hot onions will tend to melt the wax in the ear, it should be seen afterward whether the ear is quite clear; if not, syringe very gently with lukewarm water. A little lint or cotton wool may be placed in the ear after the onions are removed to avoid fresh cold being taken—Family Doctor. A Quaker Girl'a "Yes." A young Quaker had been some time casting diffident glances at a maiden of the same persuasion, while she, true to the tenets of her upbringing, had given him mighty little encouragement. However, one day the opportunity of placing the matter upon a more stable footing presented itself to Seth, and he shyly inquired: "Martha, dost thou love me?" "Why, Seth, we are commanded to love one another," quoth the maiden. "Ah, Martha, but dost thou feel what the world calls love?" "I hardly know what to tell thee, Seth. I have tried to bestow my love upon all, but I have sometimes thought that thou wast getting more than thy share." How to Wash and Polish Windows. Queer as it may seem, there is a right and a wrong way to wash windows. Choose a dull day, or at least a time when the sun is not shining on the windows. Take a painter's brush and dust them inside and out before touching the glass. The latter must be washed in warm water diluted with ammonia, about a tablespoonful of the latter to a pail of water. Never use soap. Use a small cloth with a pointed stick to get the dust out of the corners; wipe dry with a small piece of cotton cloth; do not use linen, as it makes the glass linty and dry. Polish with tissue paper or old newspaper. By this method the washing of a window can be accomplished in half the usual time and the result will be pleasing. Devilled Oysters. For two dozen cooking oysters put 10 ounces of butter in a pan; when it is dissolved add a tablespoonful of lemon juice and half a teaspoonful of finely chopped parsley, drain the oysters and cook carefully till they are plump and the gills a little frilled. Season highly with cayenne and salt, and serve on croutons of toast. Pour the reduced liquor over and serve at once. Erillings in Demand "Chantecler" and other frillings are in great demand to use as side jabots on walsts and gowns or silk or fine tub goods. They also are in high favor with mothers who love to have the little ones daintily dressed. Mercerized linen pongee is new. The all-over lace tunic is truly a gorgeous affair. Jewel trimmings is used on a great many evening dresses. It is predicted that stripes will be worn a great deal this spring. Sash ends may be fringed, and this fringe may be plain or knotted. Chantilly lace vells with a border of amarabou are the latest things. There is to be a revival of colors, it is rumored, with the return of spring. The broad ceinture or girdle seems to be appearing again on the latest frocks. As the season advances the theater cap fashioned of metallic lace grows in favor. The lace-trimmed hat brim is very effective, indeed, especially with a plumed hat. White, pink, light yellow and American beauty shades are used for dancing gowns. Kid gloves on the glace order and usually white are worn with any evening costume. Metallic lace is used a great deal to give that Byzantine or oriental touch to the new girdles. Evening gowns are delightfully simple, relying on color for the gorgeous effect that they give. The close skirts worn for the street demand the utmost daintiness in shoes, and with the velvet gowns the uppers are frequently made of the same material, vamped with patent leather. Knitted scarfs are now very broad and are fitted at the shoulder seams. On many there are standing collars that can be turned down if you prefer. They resemble the evening scarfs worn by men. Headgear Coquetries. They are sometimes threaded through with velvet ribbons the shade of the dress, and adorned with tiny cabochons of jeweled stones. Dainty arrangements of muslin and lace are worn on the head caught on one side with a coquettish bunch of roses. This novelty, halling direct from Paris, seems almost to pave the way for the resurrection of the manilla, a mode so artistic and altogether desirable that it is curious it has not before now become the rage. In black or cream Spanish lace it makes a vastly becoming frame to the face, and lends an appearance of youth even to those who can no longer boast of the much-prized "beaute du diable." The Turkish Colfure The spirit of the east influences us even in our collures. We are all for Turkish effects-at present, and no longer strive for "fluffiness." The hair is arranged in heavy waves to show the shape of the head, and drawn at the back into a mass of half-swathed curls. A few tendrils soften the hard line of the forehead. For evening wear a band, plain or jeweled, according to the fancy of the wearer, is worn about an inch above the eyebrows, and extends straight back to the curls. These bands are made of gold or silver net, or tissue embroidered in beads and floss silks in shades to harmonize with the costumes they accompany. Floor Polish. While turpentine and linseed oil mixed together in equal quantities make an excellent cleanser for floors, a better treatment-when the floor is dirty is to remove the dirt by means of a rag wet with turpentine, afterward applying the linseed oil. This oil should be allowed to remain for a week or more before the floor is polished. Then the boards can be kept in good condition by applying a mixture of turpentine and linseed oil. Harmonies. One of the loveliest gowns I have seen for some time is a velvet in a most exquisite soft shade of saxe blue with more than a hint of mauve in the high lights, with introductions of heavy purple silk net almost hidden beneath embroiderles of blue, mauve and purple, quite impossibly to describe properly in mere words, and a beautiful jabot of old Flanders point held by a magnificent buckle of amethyst paste. The Hat Tilt. There is danger of a ridiculous extreme in the hat tilt, and there is the possibility of a most fetching pliquancy. A hat must be placed upon the head before the mirror and experimented with until the correct adjustment becomes second nature; then one can wear the tilted brim with the saving grace of knowing that the best has been made of the new line. To Destroy Bats and Mice. Pounded glass mixed with dry cornmeal and placed within the reach of rats or mice will banish them. Cayenne pepper sprinkled in their nesting places is also a good exterminator. China buttons have appeared among trimmings. A touch of color is frequently given by artificial flowers. Violet mousselline de sole over pale lavender chiffon is very chic. Distinctly this is as much a lace season as it is a velvet season. Fuchsia is a color told of in every description of new Paris gowns. The latest straw hats look like bowls overcrowded with flowers. Revers that end in cape effect at the back are used on little street dresses. Wonderful are the bordered effects in the new cottons for spring dresses. Sleeves of different lengths and of different colors are worn in the same gowns. Scotch plaid is having a decided vogue for both children's and women's dresses. An innovation this season is the frock of linen, embroidered in beads to match. Small white satin beads are much used on the frock of black chiffon or marquiseette. A cuff of net, lace or tulle is greatly improved in appearance by a piping at the lower edge. The latest auto coat is reversible. One side is tweed and the other is tan waterproof cloth. All black and white mixtures in English tweeds are taking the place of ratte costumes. Variations of velvet seem to be in demand and are combined with every other color—yes, even red. Velvet tunics, cut exactly in the shape of the tunics worn by boys who serve the priest at the altar are used over shimmering satin. robes, and the under robe is often weighted with a border of fur. The Sunday School Lesson ISAIAH'S VISION AND CALL TO SERVICE. *(Home Missionary Lesson.)* GOLDEN TEXT—I heard the voice of the Lord saying, Whom shall I send and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me," Isa. 6. Commit vs. 6-8. TIME—About 759 B.C. PLACE—The temple at Jerusalem. EXPOSITION.—I. Isaiah's Vjision of Jehovah of hosts, 1-8. This passage contains the record of Isaiah's call to special service. He may have prophesied before this (cf. 1:1) but from this time his ministry took on a new form and power. Many a minister today gets a new vision of God and thus his ministry gains a new meaning. Every man's great need today is a real vision of God. We do not so much need correct theories about God as a vision of himself. We must see the Lord if we are to be greatly used. It is the work of the Holy Spirit to give us a real vision of the Lord (Acts 7:55, 56; John 16:14). How can we reconcile the statement that Isaiah "saw the Lord" with the statement of John 1:18. The answer is simple, no man hath seen God as he is in his invisible essence at any time. He is the "invisible (unseeable) God" (Col. 1:15). "Him no man hath seen nor can see" (1 Tim. 6:16). But this invisible God hath manifested himself at various times in visible forms or similitudes (Num. 12:8). Jesus Christ was the supreme manifestation. So real and true and perfect were these manifestations that it could be said that one who saw these manifestations had seen, God (John 14:9). But it could be said with equal truth. "No man hath seen God at any time." The death of Uzziah was quite likely a great shock and seeming loss to Isaiah, but just then the Lord came in with a fuller revelation of himself. We often need to have our earthly props taken away in order to obtain the fuller revelation of the Lord himself. He was "sitting upon a brone"—He is the real king (Isa. 66; Rev. 3:21; 4:21; Ps. 2:21). King Uzziah was dead, but the real king was still living. "High and lifted up (Isa. 57:15; Ps. 46:10; 108:5), how little men in our day realize how high God is! They attempt to reason about him and what he must and must do, as if he were altogether such an one as themselves (Eph. 1:20, 21). Such a vision of God as this would change much in our modern theologies. "His train filled the temple"—there was room for nothing else. He was all in all.1 Kings 8:10, 11; Rev. 15:8; 1 Cor. 15:28). It was an overwhelming vision of God, all else sank out of sight. Verse 3 contains the LOBSTER NOVELTIES. The hostess who is tired of plain lobster salad, lobster farcid, or lobster Newburg will find a pleasant change in lobster cocktail as a first course, in fried lobster for a fish course, and in creamed lobster on toast as a main dish for a family lunch as well as a fish course. For the cocktail cut the meat of boiled lobster into good sized pieces—about half the size of an oyster—and serve in a sauce made of tablespoonful each of Worcestershire sauce, tomato catup and lemon juice, flavored highly with cayenne, a drop or two of tabasco, salt, and a teaspoonful of fresh grated horseradish. Mix the lobster in this sauce and let it stand on the ice until well chilled. Serve in glasses, like the oyster cocktail. Instead of the catus a pleasant change is made by using Chill sauce or Oscar sauce in the dressing. Cut as big and shapey pieces as you can get for the fried lobster, which is first boiled. Dip in eggs and bread crumbs, fry in boiling fat just before serving and drain on brown paper. Serve with a Hollandaise sauce, to which is added chopped olives and a little onion juice, or with a sauce Tartare mixed with fresh peas. Dice boiled lobster that is to be served on toast and marinate in a little lemon juice for a few minutes. In the meantime make a rich cream dressing or white sauce, highly seasoned with cayenne and a few drops of onion. Add the lobster to the hot sauce; let it simmer only for five minutes, and serve at once on hot buttered toast. Summer Pillows. Green, blue or violet gingham for couch pillows in rooms whose colors and general style of furnishing warrant its use, will be found most attractive. Both plain and figured gingham is used and the two look well when used together on different pillows on the same couch. There are, of course, many designs, especially among the expensive ginghams, which would not be at all effective for pillow covers, but the checks, polka dots, simple stripes and plain ginghams are always pretty sure to turn out. well. central truth, about the Lord·Isahal saw—he is holy—that is the fundamental truth about God in the Old Testament and in the New Testament. This vision of God as the Holy One affected all Isahal's after preaching. Again and again he speaks of him throughout his prophecy as "The Holy One of Israel." We find this in the latter chapters of Isahal (which a certain school of critics are trying to get us to believe were not written by Isahal) and in this is one of the many proofs that the theories of this school are utterly untenable. The seraphim (literally "burning ones"—burning in their own holiness) were so overpowered by the sense of the holiness of him in whose presence they stood that with two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, while with but two they flew. Four wings for worship, only two for service. (cf. Rev. 4:8, 9). The thrice, repeated "Holy" is one of the many hints in the Old Testament of the Trinity in the unity of the Godhead. Another is found in the word "us" in v. 8. In the first verse of our lesson all this is said to have occurred when "Isahal saw the Lord." In John 12:41 it is said to have occurred when Isahal saw the glory of Jesus and spoke to him. In Acts 28:25 the speaker in vs. 9, 10, is said to have been the Holy Ghost. Evidently Isahal saw the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. The Seraphim were also occupied with the glory of the trune God. (Isa. 40:5; Num. 14:21; Ps. 72:19). "His glory shines from sun and star" (Ps. 19:1). It is seen in every flower and blade of grass, in the dust of the butterfly's wing, the whole earth is full of it. There is a glad day coming when it shall be more clearly manifested and more universally recognized than now (Hab. 2:14). The first step in Isahal's preparation was that he got a view of the Lord. The second step was that he got a view of himself (v. 5). There is no place to get a true vision of self except in the presence of God (cf. Job 42:5, 6; Dan. 10:6-8; Luke 5:8; Rev. 1:17). Face to face with the Holy One, the purest man sees himself utterly vile. The third step was cleansing from sin (v. 7). God can make the vilest clean. It is only when he has made us clean that we are fit to run on his errands. It was cleansing by fire and blood—the "live coals" "from off the altar"; the fire of the Holy Ghost (Matt. 3:1; Isa. 4:4); and the blood of the Lamb of God. It is the two-fold cleansing each of us needs in order to be fitted for service. The coal touched his lips because it was especially the iniquity of his that he had confessed (v. 5) and because it was especially his lips that he was to use for God (cf. Jer. 1:9; Dan. 10:16). The last step with a call from God and the quick and hearty response. II. Isaiah's Commission, 9-13. It was not a cheering message that God gave to Isaiah after his great vision. He was to fully proclaim the truth, but they would not understand and the whole effect of the clear proclamation of the truth would be to harden instead of save. God's truth makes heavy the ears that will not hear and closes the eyes that will not see. Some of these pillows are finished with a border of cotton fringe, but they are quite attractive without any trimming. They are also made with plain centers and figured borders, but here, again, good taste usually decides on the plain pillow as the more desirable. Old fashioned seersuckers or wash crepe is another material most attractive for summer pillows. In white or cream color, with cotton fringe, these make smart looking pillows. There is no end of charming linens which are being used for covering summer pillows. Figured linens made up without any trimming are good, especially when used with plain linen pillows on a couch of the same tone. Pillow covers in natural linen color, both in linen and cottons are popular and are being embroidered in white linen thread in open geometrical designs or in cross stitch old fashioned sampler designs. The Hungarian embroidery patterns are also popular for couch pillows, and the style is a desirable one for use on summer fabrics which are not too dainty and diaphanous. Eggs With Minced Ham. There is probably no egg dish that is surer to please everybody than a scramble with minced ham. This scramble may be cooked in individual shirred. egg dishes and be served with a slice of very crisp bacon on the top. A tablespoonful of minced ham to an egg is the usual allowance. Put a level teaspoonful of butter into each dish, and when it bubbles turn in an egg that has been beaten light, without separating the white and yolk, and has been mixed with the ham and seasoned with salt and pepper. Put the dishes into a pan of hot water on the stove and stir and turn with the point of a teaspoon from the center until the eggs are creamy. Creole Eggs. For Creole eggs, put a little butter into the bottom of individual shirred egg dishes, and when it melts drop in an egg without breaking the yolk. Cook in a pan of water, until the yolk and white are set and then turn around the egg the following side, cover with butter and dust with salt and pepper. For the sauce, cook a little pinched onion in butter until it begins to look yellow, and then turn in three Spanish red peppers cut into strips and a cupful of canned tomato pul drained from the liquor. Season with salt and peprika and let the sauce simmer for ten minutes or more. SOLDIERS IN BRONZE SOLDIERS IN BRONZE THE SUN DEFENDS THE FAMOUS FIGHTING NINTH AND THE WORLD REBUKEQ THE UNIFORMED SNOB. (Editorial: New York Sun.) The Ninth cavalry flurry at San Antonio proves beyond the shadow of a doubt that there is no war crisis in Texas. If the people down there heard the bugles blowing for an advance to the Rio Grande to await developments the Ninth would be one of the most popular regiments in the army, for it is one of the smartest and most efficient. As regards discipline it compares well with any regiment of white soldiers. The negroes of the Ninth give a readier and more respectful obedience to their officers than the white enlisted men of any other command in the service do to theirs. As to general behavior of the negro troopers on leave, no matter where they are stationed, 'it leaves little to be desired by the most prejudiced critics. "The - sentiment here is against them," says Chief of Police Newman of San Antonio, "but they are orderly." In the early days of the mobilization some of the troopers of the Ninth were inclined to resent the enforcement of the Jim Crow law on the street cars in their cases. While their attitude as soldiers wearing the same uniform as the enlisted men of the Seventh cavalry was logical enough, the law is law, and we have no doubt that Col. John F. Gulfoyle told them that when they were in San Antonio they must do as as groes do and keep out of the white compartment of the street cars. In Texas the color line is more stringently drawn than in other southern states, and San Antonio is no exception, although if the townsmen remember the Alamo it must occur to them that at least one negro' shared the perils of Travis, Crockett, Bowle and Houston. Probably the men of the Ninth got it into their heads that war was imminent and that under the circumstances they would be allowed to have the same indulgences they enjoy in garrison in Wyoming and Montana, where there is no color line. They ought to have known better. At last accounts the negro troopers were submitting in a true military spirit to the discrimination of the Jim Crow law, and official San Antonio was going ball for them and pleading with the president not to order the regiment into the border district represented by the Hon. John Nance Garner. If the black soldiers were an incubus and a nuisance, would not this appeal to Mr. Taft be proof of unselfish and self-sacrificing spirit? We note that the Hon. James L. Slayden of the San Antonio district, a member of the house military committee, has taken a prominent part in rebuking Representative Garner for interfering in its affairs. In San Antonio everybody, Mexicans as well as Americans, votes for Jim Slayden on election day, and if the conduct of the Ninth were as black as Garner of Uvalde painted it, Mr. Slayden would have rejoiced to see the regiment transferred to Representative Garner's district. That gentleman now understands what a boomerang is. The clamor in Zapata and Hidalgo against the coming of the Ninth for patrol duty sent Mr. Garner on the wings of the morning to the White House to protest, and the regiment, which did not know but it might be dispatched to Death Valley, received a third and final order to stay where it was. The hysterla will now die down, we trust. There would have been none at all if there, were anticipation of another Palo Alta or Resaca de la Palma. SOCIAL SEGREGATION PROBLEM. Must we draw the line among us socially, or must affairs continue as they are? The present condition of social discrimination is gloomy and is drifting fast into a very objectionable condition, especially among the young people. We hardly know who's who. This situation must be remedied or the dissolution of the classes will prevail. The social gatherings now, except a few organized clubs for women, have gradually gone down and are still falling. You find them frequented by some very undesirable characters, who show their qualities by becoming under the influence of intoxicants and practicing other vices in the presence of refined people. These characterists must be discarded, or the destiny of social affairs are "blown up."—Palestine (Tex.) Plaindealer. EUGENIE'S AMERICAN ANCESTRY. The Empress Eugenie was the granddaughter of Mr. Fitzpatrick, American consul at Malaga during the early years of the nineteenth century. Mr. Fitzpatrick's wife was of Scotch descent and claimed to be connected in some remote way with the Stuarts. They had one daughter, a very beautiful and accomplished girl, who made a brilliant marriage with the Marquis De Montijo, Comte De Teba. He died after a few years of married life, leaving her with two young daughters, one of whom subsequently married the Duke of Alba. The other, Eugenie, became empress of the French.—From the Memoirs of M. Claude. A GIRL'S IDEA. A girl's idea of a trouseau is to have enough clothes to wear, without buying anything new for at least three weeks.—New York Times. Spring moods bring out the very young man's verdancy at best. The soul of kindness often gets the feel. Charitable thoughts also ought to begin at home Procrastination is the thief of many a wedding ring. Prosperity doesn't come to some folks because it would spoil them forever. Old age demands so little, and maybe that's one reason why it's always getting less. Nature might have meant woman to be her masterpiece, but she is certainly letting Art in strong these days. Goesip is the tie that binds most women's friendship. Opportunity's fence is not iron-plked. Time was made to use at least if not to improve. Courage is comparative, while cowardice has but one brand. Party lines are prolonged social functions more times than one. Creed has never meant kindness; real goodness needs no ceremonial. Every silver-lined cloud can be turned to gold by the sun of human warmth. Keep the lamp of faith burning by good works; or it will surely pale to nothing. When a man snaps his finger at chance it's generally true that his fortune is made. Some people's idea of generosity is limited to giving away other people's gifts. Only a woman is vain, but we know fellows who beg the barber for plenty of powder after a shave. Spare the rod and you'll spare yourself needless flurry. The child is spolled by the topsy-turvy manner of living. Pity the little ones in a flat, who have only the street in which to breathe the open air—and that dusty—or the stuffy indoors. Let's all move for the enlargement of public playgrounds, and making them more attractive. Teaching the young idea how to shoot will make us a nation of military minds. The women teachers, who so patiently aid the forming of our little ones' minds, at the most critical age, should certainly receive more recompense than mere praise. Success never comes as an uninvited guest. Sometimes even the petty thief is honest with the man who places confidence in him. Tears may melt a hard heart, but after it is melted it will run away. Recreation may be meat to some men, but it is poison to others. The man who can be happy on little stands a better chance of having more than he needs. Don't worry about the man with the funereal face; he may be turning out jokes for the comic sheet. Sunshine is as bright as we see it; some folks can dim it by a dark look. Prosperity doesn't come a-shambling; she comes dancing and it's just as well to have the musical accompaniment ready. To have a collection of good friends is as good as a bucketful of white-wash. There are some guys who are looking around to see if they are being noticed and then they're sorry when a man really stops and stares. The price of food is not as staying as the new fangled price of gowning the lady we love best. Would you be refreshed and made new? Open your heart to your friend. Love suffers long, but often it takes only a small hurt to free it from martyrdom. There are souls so transparent in this world that they do not recognize a lie. When a man is too sure of a woman he'd better begin to be a little uncertain of her. We need the creed that is full of human charity and human faith; the gloomy creed adds to our burdens and helps no one's cause. The good roads movement should be followed by the swift young man. AMONG THE MASONS. Each Mason should join in making St. John's Day this year grander than ever. Arrangements should already be perfected for its observance. The brethren in Savannah are now planning to have interesting exercises that day. Past Master W. B. Robinson of Calro says that his lodge will have a big day. A special sermon will be preached by the chaplain, Rev. F. B. Williams. Let the other lodges get busy. How about your lodge report. Do not be a laggard. The grand lodge meets June 13 at Americus. The fare is full rate going and half returning, plus 50 cents. In purchasing your ticket always ask for a certificate to Masonic grand lodge at Americus. Always insist on getting the certificate and do not allow the agent to put you off without giving it to you. Beautify and adorn your lodge rooms. It will pay large dividends in greater interest and in increased attendance. I can truly say that my love for this institution has grown with my better knowledge of the service it is rendering to the communities in which it exists, by promoting human amenity and social sympathy, and I rejoice that it has been my good fortune to share its fellowship and enjoy its teachings.—Samuel Crocker Lawrence, Massachusetts. The three grand masters of the world are Time, Patience and Industry, and they accomplish all things. Then stop, look, listen and learn wherever you tarry. Let your eyes and ears be always open, and you will observe, in the slightest incidents, materials of advantage and means of personal improvement. Think out your work and then work out your thoughts. No Mason can pursue a worthy object with all the powers of his mind and yet make his life a failure. And though he may never, with his own lips, declare the victory complete, some day others will behold in his life-work the traces of a great and thinking mind.—Scottish Rite Bulletin. Building a Life. Human life is a building. It rises slowly day by day throughout the years. Every new lesson we learn lays a block on the edifice which is rising silently within us. Every influence that impresses us, every book we read, every conversation we have indeed, every act of our commonest days—adds something to the invisible building—J. R. Miller. --- In Roman times the power of armies and violence made the proud boast, "I am a Roman citizen," a buckler of defense against the attacks of the most daring and unscrupulous. For greater ages the power of loving brotherhood has given greater strength throughout a greater world than the Roman ever knew to the words, "I am a Master Mason."—George Washington. When you are working in the interest of Masonry you are bettering the condition of society in the vicinity in which you live. Masonry sets an ideal moral standard and obligates its members to live up to it. Some may fail, but the man who remembers his obligation and is a Mason at heart, never will. Yes, it pays to encourage Masonry in more ways than one.—Globe. First impressions in Freemasonry, as elsewhere, count for a good deal and special care should be taken to rightly impress candidates for the Masonic degrees at the outset. In order that this should be done, there must be a wise selection of deacons and stewards, for these officers are brought in close relations with candidates in the preparation room and during the progress of the ceremony. Brethren disposed to slippancy or to coarseness are sadly out of place when acting in the positions named. The average man does not care to be joked with about "riding the goat, or "sitting on a gridiron," as he is waiting to be introduced into the first mysteries of the Masonic system. A dignified and considerate course of procedure at the beginning will be to impress the candidate favorably. --- Intemperance and Profanity. Let every Mason bear in mind that the intemperance of a single member is enough to injure, in the eyes of many, the character of the whole fraternity, and for the sake of our brethren, if we have not sufficient self-respect, we should take heed to our ways. The same may be said of profanity. Profanity is a Masonic offense. It may be with some men a thoughtless habit, but such thoughtlessness will bring reproach upon a great fraternity. This should make every one watchful and careful.—Trowel. Variety Bakery.
