Provisional Government Becomes a Fact With the Captured City of Jaurez as the Capital. Juarez, Mexico.—Mexico's provisional Government, composed of insurrectionists, became an established fact with the naming of a cabinet by Francisco L. Madero, Jr., provisional president, and with the establishment of a capital in the captured city of Juarez, where General Navarro and his Federal troops are held prisoners. The Cabinet follows: The Cabinet follows: Minister of Foreign Relations—Dr. Vasquez Gomez. Finance—Gustavo A. Madero. War—Venuistano Carranza. Interior—F. Gonzales Garza. Justice—Jore'M. Pino Suarez. Private Secretary to President Madero—Juan Sanchez Azcona. Secretary of War Carranza will have charge of railways and telegraphs. His first act was to grant permission for the repair of the Mexican Northwestern railroad. Men immediately began repairing the roadbed south of Juarez. Gonzales Garza will have charge of the mail service, and Secretary of the Treasury Madero will direct the affairs of the Custom House. That the insurrecto army is more than simply an armed mob is shown in the absence of general looting and infoxication and the quickness with which the shattered city was cleared of its dead and wounded. The embargo against visitors was removed and sightseers in thousands poured across the bridges from El Paso. Only occasional cases of looting were reported, and these not by the insurrectos themselves, but by insatiable curio hunters, one of whom triumphantly displayed in El Paso two silver candlesticks taken from the big church in which the Federals made a desperate stand. While Madero refuses to divulge his plans for the immediate future, Provisional Governor Abram Gonzales, of Chihuahua, unofficially says that the next step is to take Chihuahua, annihilate Rabago and his command and then march to Torreon and on to Mexico City. This is to be the slogan of the army of liberation, so-called, and the first move will be made by Orozco, who will go out to meet Rabago should the Federal General approach near Juarez. Four Rescue Parties Fight Way Into Shafts----Naked Light Wilkes-Barre, Pa. — Five lives were lost by suffocation in the Boston mine of the Delaware and Hudson Company, at Larksville, near here. A strike began at the colliery on Tuesday, and consequently only a small number of men were at work. Had the full force been engaged the loss of life would have been appalling. Fire broke out in a section of the mine where rock miners were employed, but it is said to have been gotten under control without difficulty. Eleven men were at work in that section. After midnight the odor of smoke was detected and another alarm was sounded. All the employees in the inside workings made their way from a side vein to the main gangway, but the smoke had become so dense that nearly all were overcome. Woman Sentenced to Hang Washington, D. C.—The first sentence of a woman to be hanged in the District of Columbia for almost half a century was imposed in the case of Mattie E. Lomax, a negress, who was convicted of killing her husband, Cecil Lomax, here on December 15 last. Counsel for the defense gave notice of a motion for a new trial. L'ightning Kills Eight Persons Berlin.—During thunder storms that occurred throughout Germany Thursday lightning killed eight persons and near Hamburg rekindled a natural gas well which had been recently capped with the greatest difficulty. SWEEPS OUT THE "COFFIN NAILS" JUAREZ, CAPITAL NEVARRO CAPTIVE Federal Commander, Losing Battle, Surrenders. MANY KILLED AND WOUNDED. Government Troops, Trapped In Barracks By Insurectos In Nearby Houses, Had No Other Alternative. Cludad, Juarez, Mex.—The little, bullet-riddled city is the Provisional Capitol of Mexico and Francisco I. Madero, Jr., Provisional President, and his staff have taken possession after winning the bloodiest battle of the Mexican revolution. In a corner room of the barracks, in which for two days he, held out against the fire of the rebels, Gen. Juan J. Navarro, the Federal commander, a captive, sat through the afternoon, having surrendered with almost his entire garrison of several hundred men. His face is sunken, his head is bowed, and he does not talk, for the blitter sting of defeat has disheartened him. In contrast, in another part of the town, sat Francisco I. Madero, Jr., the conquerer, surrounded by members of his family and his staff, joyous, exultant and, flushed with victory; yet ready, he said, to make peace with the Mexican Government if it is disposed to deal frankly and sincerely with the revolutionists and "without such vague promises as President Diaz's manifesto contains." General Navarro and his 27 officers were paroled by General Madero. After inviting them to dinner, he announced that if they would promise on their honor not to leave the city they could have the liberty of the town. They agreed to do so. In hotel lobbles, storefronts and hallways, the improvised hospital of the battle field, are scores of wounded, attended by a host of physicians and nurses from El Paso, who have volunteered aid. A conservative estimate of physicians as well as of insurrecto leaders, who surveyed the fighting, puts the Federal dead at nearly 50 and the rebel loss at about 15, with a total of nearly 250 wounded on both sides. The actual number lost probably never will be known, as deserters were many and the dead have been buried quickly. Madero Explains: El Paso, Tex.—Francisco L. Madero, Jr., issued a statement explaining the causes of the attack on Juarez and the conflicting interpretations which have been put on his leadership. He attributes the attack principally to the vague promises of President Diaz in his manifesto as opposed to the precise promises of the revolutionists to the federal government. Must Pass to Wed. Cleveland.—The legislative committee of the Ohio, State Medical Association, in convention here, has started activities to pass the bill pending in the legislature providing that every prospective bridegroom must pass a medical examination before making application for a marriage license. SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, MAY 20, 1911. MILITARY GLORY FOR YOUNG MEN Civilians May Now Win Army Commissions. NEW GENERAL ORDER ISSUED Young Men With the Proper Ambition, but Without a West Point Education, May Become Second Lieu enants. Washington, D. C.—Bright young men who were ambitious to wear the uniform and the shoulder strap of this government will be given an opportunity to win their commissions, and the War Department has just issued general orders giving, in detail the information that every young man needs. The regulations hereforego governing the appointment of young civilians to the Army have been modified by President Taft so as to conform to present conditions. All officers must enter the service as second lieutenants. Second lieutenants are filled by appointment by the President, first, by cadets who have graduated from the West Point Military Academy; second, by enlisted men in the ranks who have passed competitive examinations, and third, by civilians between the ages of 21 and 27 years. The War Department designates a large number of young men from all over the country who are subjected, after a rigid physical test, to a severe competitive mental examination. No young man who is married is designated for these examinations, nor will any cadet at West Point or midshipman at the Naval Academy be permitted to enter these examinations until after the classes of which they have been members while at West Point or at Annapolis have graduated. Preference is given among the civilian candidates to honor graduates from those schools and colleges at which Army professors are detailed as professors of military science, and at which the students have shown a degree of proficiency which has entitled the schools to be designated as "distinguished institutions." Next in order of choice are members of the organized militia who have served not less than three years creditably. The general orders of the War Department give full information as to the subjects on which the mental examinations will be based. No candidate failing to obtain a general average of 75 points will be appointed as second lieutenant. Candidates whose general average in a competitive mental examination is 85 or more will be graded separately and selected to fill existing vacancies in the order of their merit, and the remaining vacancies, if any, will be distributed among the candidates whose average is less than 85 but not below 75. Ohio Voters Distranchised. Portsmouth, Ohio.—Fourteen residents of the Second ward of this city, who were charged with 'selling their votes, were disfranchised for five years by Judge A. Z. Blair. Workhouse sentences of six months and fines of $25 and costs which had been imposed were suspended pending good behavior. All are laborers and it is charged they sold their votes for prices ranging from $1 to $3 each. Every lodge should be represented at the coming communication of the Grand Lodge. Let the delegates keep in mind the securing of a certificate in order to get the reduced rate returning. Many lodges are lagging behind in rendering reports. The officers of these lodges are void of that true spirit that should actuate every Mason toward doing duty. Has Stond the Test. The principles of Masonry interpose nothing untried. It has stood the test, and we, as Masons, need not hesitate to live its teachings, preach its doctrine and show our belief in God, who knows our hearts and desires to rule them that we may be true Masons. Let us study our principles more and thus be better fitted for our special work.—Bro. M. E. Raftery. Manhood It is a mighty hard matter to maintain an unimpaired manhood in this time of general barter of personal values for personal gain. The age seems to be one of the bosses upon the part of the few, and of servitude for either monetary or some other gain upon the part of the many, out of which can come no good to the moral life of the people and no permanent gain to the individual, for the gain to the public must come through the manhood of individuals, and the gain permanent to the individual must come through his consciousness of his own personal integrity. The groundwork of Masonry is the reciprocal acceptance and symbolical teaching by God acknowledging men of certain obligations derived from the moral law and recognized as being due to their creator, to themselves and to each other; the assumption of these obligations in substance, form and manner to confer the Masonic status being only possible within the body of certain organizations called lodges, existing by virtue of warrants or charters from a representative grand lodge consisting of and formed by the masters and wardens of all the lodges in communication therewith, with the Grand Master of its own election at the head; which grand lodge is the supreme power of the jurisdiction which it occupies, save as constrained by the ancient landmarks, the paramount, irrepeable law of Masonry, and when thus lawfully assumed these obligations are a perpetual guarantee—apart from the temporary distinctions of master, fellow and apprentice—of an absolute equality of rights, benefits, privileges and eligibilities—Joseph Robbins. Masonry Different. Grand Master Bell, in his remarks to lodges, in calling attention to one matter which all Masons should be brought to understand, and that is, that Masonry is the original fraternal society, and is organized and operated along lines peculiar to itself. It patterns after no human society and is the peer of them all. The tendency of the times is to borrow from other orders and to appe their manner of procedure. Because the Odd Fellows or Knights of Pythlas do certain things, is no reason why Masonry should immediately adopt the same practices. One great trouble with Masonry today is that men educated to the practice of other societies find their way into office in a Masonic lodge, and immediately commence to fellow out what they have previously learned without ever trying to acquaint themselves with the teachings of Masonic procedure. If Freemasonry is to move forward with the march of years it must be kept pure and undefiled, and must be maintained along the lines laid down by the fathers of Masonry. All attempts to popularize it simply result in detracting from its power and dignity.—Illinois Freemason. NEW CALANTHIAN GRAND COURT Alken, S. C., April 25, 1911.

McGHEE, G. W. R. D., Acting, Alken, S. C. HANDLING LONDON'S LETTERS Some Idea of the Big Force Required In the Great Post Office. Sir Henry Tanner, principal archi- tect in his majesty's office of work, gave an address before the Royal iptitute of British Architects in London recently, describing in detail the new general post office to be known as King Edward's building. As giving some idea of the magnitude of the work there, he mentioned that the removal of provincial malls and of the parcels of Mount Pleasant railroad to the main building required 700 of the force of 2,850 men, leaving only 2,150 in the old building, but there were at the date of removal to King Edward's building, 3,750 of all ranks, including 1,450 postmen. Meanwhile the force at Mount Pleasant had increased from 2,850 to 4,550. These numbers were exclusive of the temporary force employed at Christmas. The work dealt with per week was as follows. Five and a half millions of letters, etc., delivered in E. C. district, and 3,500,000 to other districts of London and by certain provincial mails, and 3,500,000 dispatched to foreign countries and the colonies; in all, 12,500,000, weighing about 386 tons. With regard to the cost of the new building he found that if built in the ordinary way with steel construction the approximate cost, exclusive of fittings, etc., would be £355,000, but if in reinforced concrete £295,000 would probably suffice. The latter figure had proved to be correct, so that there had been an approximate saving of £60,000, and, apart from this, considerable space had been gained by the great reduction in wall thickness. The general post office has furnished statistics of the Yuletide traffic, showing that all records were exceeded in the huge 1910 Christmas post bag." The great office is equipped with the very latest appliances, and all were working up to their fullest capacity during Christmas week. To suit the great length of the building electric "conveyors" have been installed. A new and ingenious system for sorting newspapers was also successfully tried. SURE! "It's no use. We must get a separation." "That is what I say. Isn't it beautiful how we agree?" $201,753.26 RAISED IN DOLLAR MONEY REV. JOHN HURST OF A. M. E. CHURCH MAKES FINAN- CIAL REPORT. BIG INCREASE OVER LAST YEAR Annual Session of Financial Board Presided Over By Bishop Parks Amount of Money Raised by Districts. Washington, D. C. (Special).—Reports submitted by Rev. Dr. Hurst, financial secretary of the African Methodist Episcopal church, at the thirty-eighth annual meeting of the financial board of the denomination, held here, shows that $201,753.26 was raised in dollar money during the fiscal year ended April 1. This is an increase of $3,000 over last year's report and of more than $34,000 for the year previous to the last men- tioned. The meeting was presided over by Bishop H. Blanton Parks of Chicago, who is chairman of the board, vice Bishop Abraham Grant, who died several months ago. In a touching address Bishop Parks referred to the life and service of the deceased prelate, as did a number of members of the board. The late Bishop Lampton, who, for six years served as financial secretary, was also eulogized by Bishop Parks and his colleagues. The report of Secretary Hurst was an exhaustive review of the work of his, department and contained recommendations for the more efficient carrying on of the work of the denomination in this country and Africa. He also spoke feelingly of the late Bishop Grant, who, at the time of his death, was serving his second consecutive term as chairman of the board, and of the late Bishop Lampton. Dr. Hurst was highly commended for his palmstaking and the business-like way in which he conducted the department since his election to the post at the general conference, which met in Norfolk, Va., three years ago. How the Money Is Raised. The money that passes through the department is raised in subscriptions of one dollar each from members of the various A. M. E. churches. The amount raised this year brings the total amount raised through this channel to over $3,000,000. For church maintenance, etc., the proceeds of which do not pass through the financial secretary's hands, over $4,000,000 was raised by churches of the denomination during the past year. Of the money reported by Dr. Hurst, 8 per cent. ($16,140.26) was used in furthering the educational work of the denomination; 10 per cent. ($20,175.33) turned over to the Church Extension- society; 36 per cent. ($72,631.18) retained by the various annual conferences for the support of superannuated ministers, widows, orphans and widows and for mission work, and the remainder ($92,806.50) used for general church needs such as the payment of the salaries of the bishops and other general officers and for other contingencies. The amounts reported by each Episcopal district follow: First, Bishop Wesley J. Gaines in charge, $13,526.65; second, Bishop Levi J. Coppin, $15,521.85; third, Bishop W. B. Derrick, $6,535.60; fourth, Bishop C. T. Shaffer, $15,035.48; fifth, Bishop Parks, vice late Bishop Grant, $13,783.41; sixth, Bishop Charles S. Smith, $28,948.01; seventh, Bishop B. F. Lee, $18,787.26; eighth, Bishop H. M. Turner, vice late Bishop Lampton, $19,934.43; ninth, Bishop J. S. Flipper, $15,967.13; tenth Bishop Evans Tyre, $11,210.25; twelfth, Bishop Parks, $24,100.65; thirteenth (West Africa), Bishop W. H. Heard, $156; fourteenth (South Africa), Bishop J. Albert Johnson, $2,985. Besides a large number of visitors at the meeting, the following members of the board were present: Rev. A. L. Murray, Atlantic City, N. J.; Rev. J. T. Jenifer, Chicago; Rev. Charles Bundy, Cleveland, O.; Rev. A. J. Carey, Chicago, Ill.; Rev. J. R. Ransom, Topka, Kan.; Rev. N. B. Sterrett, Charleston, S. C.; Rev. W. J. Strong, Jackson, Miss.; Rev. J. M. Conner, Little Rock, Ark.; J. C. Hunt, Palestine, Tex.; Rev. A. J. Kershaw, Tallahassee, Fla.; Rev. C. H. Shelto, Memphis, Tenn. TOO WELL KNOWN. "Is the guv-nor in?" asked the visitor. The office boy, with his chair tilted back and his legs stretched out upon the desk, made no reply. "I asked if the guv-nor was in," said the visitor. The office boy threw him a disdainful glance, blew a cloud of cigarette smoke down his nostrils, and resumed his reading. "Didn't you hear?" snapped the visitor. "O' course, I 'ear you," answered the office boy, scornfully. "Then why the dickens don't you tell me if the guv-nor's retorted the office boy, as he recrossed his legs upon the desk, and prepared to resume his reading, "Does it look like it?" WHEN A JOKE IS NOT A JOKE. To the joker who writes jokes for a living it isn't much of a joke when the editor can't take a joke.—Lippin-gott's. OBSERVED EMANCIPATION DAY NEGROES OF RICHMOND HELD CELEBRATION ON FREE-DOM ANNIVERSARY. Richmond, Va.—Special.—The 3d of April was the day the Afro-Americans of this city observed as their Emancipation day. The orator of the occasion was Rev. E. H. Hunter, LL. M., who resigned a lucrative government position to enter the ministry and is now pastor of Third St. A. M. E. church, this city. He eloquently and comprehensively discussed the obligation of citizenship and in part said: "The obligations of citizenship, therefore, require recognition of the fact the benefits of citizenship fix proportionally responsibilities. Men are both cowardly and selfish when they try to escape the burden of responsibility which attaches to the superior position attained through wealth, position or influence. The special gifts and graces, favors and accumulations of what kind soever are entrusted to men to be used for the common good and not to be squandered in idle pleasures, vain conceits, avaricious schemes and miserly efforts for future protection. The good citizen believes in the doctrine of 'All men up and no man down.' The obligations of citizenship, therefore, call for us to lift as we climb. "There must be no cessation in urging the gospel of work to the utmost of individuals and organized capacity. Correct ideas as to the dignity and character of labor must be instilled," said this brilliant young lawyer and preacher. The following utterances elicited hearty applause: "We hear much talk about the need of race leaders, but the permanent need is men. Enough strong, thoughtful, unselfish, God-fearing men will not be long finding a proper leader whenever and wherever one is needed. Nor, in unhorsing one who misleads them or misrepresents their highest inspirations, loftest ambition and fondest hopes in efforts to secure himself and his pet schemes, in a place of favor, with unjust, unholy, self-constituted lords of creation. Those who are willing to compromise or barter away the God-given manhood rights of their people for place, pelf or temporal power are not worthy of the confidence of their fellows and thereby they hinder the cultivation of true manhood. The surest guarantee of a proper and effective assumption of the obligations of citizenship is the cultivation of true manhood." "The surest protection of the home, with all its sacred memories and charming environment, is the establishment of just, fair, honorable community life; and such adjustment of the social fabric as will recognize the right of the highest, the lowest, the proudest and humblest, the richest and poorest, the wisest and most unlearned, as being on a common level. Men must learn that no final settlement of the question of rights between man and man can ever be reached until the principles of the Golden Rule shall have found their rightful place in the making and administration of society's laws. Class legislation cannot bring to pass the ideal in this regard, and manhood suffrage is the only offset against class legislation, in a democracy," were among the significant utterances of the speaker. GEO. F. KING. VIOLATION ALLEGED OF "JIM CROW" LAWS CHARGES THAT BOOKER WASHINGTON'S' WIFE WAS SMUGGLED IN PULLMAN. Memphis, Tenn. (Special.)—As a result of charges in railroad circles that the "jim crow" laws of Texas, Arkansas and Tennessee had been violated, officials of the Cotton Belt railroad and the Pullman company will be prosecuted. The wife of Booker T. Washington, the noted negro educator, alighted from a Pullman car. Charges are made that she had been smuggled through from Paris, Tex., in the drawing room. An effort to get a taxicab here failed. Every white chauffeur refused to take her. ITEMS FROM THE ODD Wireless apparatus for transmitting correct time direct from observatories to offices, stores and residences on land and to vessels at sea has been invented by two Frenchmen. The sense of smell in man is able to detect the one 300,000,000th part of a grain of musk. The scent of the lower animals and insects is even more acute. A cannon ball travels at the rate of 2,000 miles an hour. The danger of a wagon pole breaking is lessened by a Kansan's invention of a system of rods, chains and springs, to be fastened to the front of a wagon to distribute the strain. Geologists estimate that the great German deposits of potash salts, practically the only important ones in the world, will last at the present rate of exploitation 600,000 years. If paint brushes be suspended in cleansing liquid by clamps which may be made of clothespins, they will not be deformed, as may be the case the weight rests upon the bristles. Chat on Current Literature Concerning the Negro Prof. Du Bols, speaking before the Society for Ethical Culture at Hander hall, says: "We must get rid of the provincial, off-hand way of trying to deal with the race problem, by talk of 'superior' or 'inferior' races, and of lesser breeds without the law." If the profound and scholarly professor means to decry the somewhat general tendency of half-equipped demagogues to make name and fame in debating soleties, barber shops and other places where those fond of "hot air" are wont to congregate, in loud-mouthed discussion of "the whichness of the is," we are disposed to utter a fervent "amen," for great harm can come, and has come, to our people through the blatant, ignorant utterances of men to whom the chance has sometimes given the ear of the multitude. However, we do not see the benefit in discouraging those who seek to inspire the negro to intenser effort by having him become more forcibly conscious of his weakness. We are an "inferior people," all the assurances of the "I love my race and am doing a great wk" "rostrum stalkers" and "pulpit jack-in-the-boxes" to the contrary notwithstanding. We are inferior in culture, morally and intellectually; we are inferior in wealth, and if statistics count for anything, we are fast becoming inferior in bodily, vigor and vim. No journalist serves his people faithfully who would seek to have them believe otherwise. You cannot solve a problem by erasing from the blackboard. We challenge, and rightly, the assertion that we are inately inferior as a people, and can point with pride to a record of achievement to make the challenge good. Individual negroes have refuted for all time the assertion that the black brain is essentially inferior to the white, yet our race as a whole is inferior in that it has not yet got its hands upon the forces that make for power, and it would certainly be an indication that events have no logic were it otherwise. The problem cannot be settled, either by the professor's "off-hand" way of assuming that all of us stand with him upon the "Alpine Heights." As for "the lesser breed without the law," surely no better, nor more significant description of the negro's real status in the world was ever coined, and we owe Kipling a debt for furnishing it, though he was not thinking of us when it dripped from his pen. "Lesser" as the white races would have it—lesser in the sense that they have forced us to dwell "behind the veil" as the gifted professor has said in his "Souls of Black Folk"—lesser in that, we have, well nigh since the first morning, been "hewing the wood and drawing the water." Without the law?—yes—for in what part of the country are we within its pale? The early Greeks, strong in imaginative faculty, represented the Goddess of Justice as blind—the American people have improved upon the Hellenic idea, and in addition to the first infirmity, have added another—"the divine lady" is now both blind and deaf. We view with horror the professor's conditional prophecy of an ultimate world wide race war. We had begun to think that civilization, in its essential principles, had progressed too far to permit the possibility of any such arbitrament. If the professor can really "look into the future and say which grain will grow and which will not" and we are really doomed to resort to "club and claw," then this old globe has been the scene of 19 centuries of useless, wasted human effort. If you, reader, believe in the prophecy, why hereafter, when perchance you have the pleasure of listening to some hoary-headed, generous-hearted advocate of the gospel of human brotherhood, preaching in words of fire of that day when there shall be "Peace on earth and good will to men," just shrug your shoulder, and say with Caesar: "He is a dreamer, let us leave him." In the March McClures, there is a worthy character portrayal of Harriet Beecher Stowe, whose "pen was indeed mightier than the proverbal sword." The old Persian tent maker once wrote: We are no other than a moving row Of magic Shadow-Shapes that come and go Round, with the Sun-illumined Lantern held In midnight by the Master of the Show. But helpless Pieces of the Game He plays Upon this Chequer-board of Nights and Days; Hither and thither moves, and cheeks and slays. And one by one back in the Closet lays. These verses came to our mind while reading the McClure sketch, "Magic Shadow Shapes!" What a wealth of truth in that delineation! Flitting hither and thither—jerked here and there like mimic dancers on the end of a string—spurred by ambition into a mad "chase of favorite phantoms," or contented in the lack of it, to be buffeted by the crowd, we simply play the part ordained by "The Master of the Show," and fortunate indeed and glad should we feel, if that part is one similar to Harriet Beecher Stowe's. The American people didn't know what they were fighting for in the Revolution of 76 until Tom Palne wrote his pamphlet on "The Rights of Man." Voltaire, Rousseau, Helvetius and Diderot, with their pens underminded the throne of Bourbon tyranny in France. Harriet Beecher Stowe, with the deft touches of a master hand, struck a chord of sympathy in the world's heart, and the sad wailing miserere of slavery was hushed and stilled in the Jubilee of freedom. "So you are the little woman who wrote the book that made the great war," remarked the "Martyred Lincoln," as she took a seat at his fireside in the executive mansion. Philosopher that he was, he knew that this woman, like himself, was an instrument of Providence, "a child of destiny." He could see that "Uncle Tom's Cabin" had come like a flash in the night, revealing in all the simplicity of truth the tragedy of African bondage, and it is said that the great man was silent in her presence. At first the author of "Uncle Tom's Cabin," every word and scene in which had its counterpart in her actual experience, was lauded and noted through the entire world. Her appeal had been made to men's hearts and those hearts had responded before their brains had chance to bring into play all that is sordid, selfish, satirical. Amongst us now, Harriet Beecher Stowe is little more than a misty memory. "Tis at best a sad commentary—this modern tendency not "to render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and less frequently still, "unto God, the things that are God's." Men's thoughts turn back to the bright East—the source of every faith that has moved humanity;—at first, for faith's sake, men may retrace their migration to its source and give their blood for their holy places; after them a generation may give its money for the honor of its God; but at last, and surely, comes the time of memory's fading, the winter of belief, the night of faith's day, wherein a delicately nurtured and greedy race will give nelther gold nor blood, but only a prayer or a smile for the hope of a life to come;—and so, reader, the memory of Stowe and Lovejoy is crowded out of our hearts by the weeds of forgetfulness. --- Is it possible that the "still small voice" is about to make itself heard in the conscience of the nation? Here are a few important court decisions which would indicate that the bench is beginning to realize the danger of allowing passion and prejudice to influence the interpretation of the law. 1. The Supreme court of Washington refuses to allow that a contract for the sale of property can be broken on account of a black skin. 2. The Supreme court of the United States has decided unconstitutional a law which sought to compel a man to work out an alleged debt to another, or be guilty of felony. 3. The United States court of appeals has decided that a reservation in a deed precluding the sale of property to colored persons at any future time is null and void. 4. The appellate division of the supreme court of New York has reversed the lower court, which held that the damages awarded a negro Pullman porter were too high because he was a negro and without feelings. FUTURE AMERICAN TO BE SWARTHY. "The people of this country will gradually grow darker, and though the result will not be a copper-colored or Indian type, it will be much darker than the average today. "One great factor in preventing the approximation of this darker type has been found in the tendency of certain European immigrants to seek certain widely separated sections of the United States for their settlement."—Professor F. W. Putnam. The American of tomorrow, the citizen of the United States in the future, will be a much different person from the American of today, and he will in all likelihood be a swarthy man in contrast to the lighter individual of the present, according to Professor Frederick Ward Putnam, head of the Peabody museum at Harvard. As an anthropologist of international fame, Professor Putnam's observation is of interest in view of the many opinions that have been held as to the sort of American that will eventually develop from the great mixture of races brought here by immigration from all parts of Europe. In this connection an opinion has been advanced by Professor A. E. Jenks of the University of Minnesota, as follows: "In the immigration from southern Europe and in the Hebrew, we have the brunette. There will inevitably be an infusion of the dark strain in the blonde. Just what, influence it will have will depend directly on the extent to which the races intermingle. "Race pride and prejudice will gradually weaken in America, I believe, and that will be a strong factor in the intermingling." Fashion Notes Fancy Hercules and Titan braids are the elect of the season. It is predicted that stripes will be worn a good deal this spring. The fichu lines are evident, especially on chiffon blouses. Visiting dresses, even when made short, are almost sumptuous. line between the bodice and the skirt. To wear with plain or embroidered linen collars, or with fancy lace stocks there are many pretty jabot bows now offered. The Persian note is strong in these bows, being used as piplings, borders, etc. Many of the black hats are trimmed high with black malines.

Thick cords or tassels trim them. The new modern corduroys have flat square rib instead of the old round tubular effects, and they are very smart looking. Tea gowns often have hanging sleeves, and the peasant sleeve cut in one with the bodice is by no means as yet discarded. It is quite noticeable in the newest gowns that the belt is inconspicuous and apparently a part of the soft folds of the bodice and yet a distinct SOME BRIDAL SUPERSTITIONS VEIL MUST BE PINNED BY A WIFE AND MOTHER—DO NOT CHANGE DATE. Before the wedding day arrives there has been a courtship more or less lengthy. "Happy is the wooling that is not long a-doing," says an old proverb, and a course, extended over a year before culminating in marriage, is considered a particularly bad omen for the future happiness of the bride, according to a writer in the Philadelphia Inquirer. A bride who believes in the old superstitions that have been handed down from generation to generation will not dress herself entirely until the time for the ceremony, and she will not allow a maid to assist in pinning on her vell—this service must be performed by a wife and mother. Unless she wishes to be ruled with a rod of iron by her future husband, the bride must put on her right shoe first when dressing for the wedding. Similarly the right glove must be put on first to insure her being first in her husband's affections. Considerate brides wear as many pairs of garters during the ceremony as they have bridesmales. For the best day of the week, an old rhyme says: Thursday for crosses, Friday for losses; Saturday no luck at all. The bride of the Orkney islands evidently puts no faith in the above rhyme, as she chooses Friday for her bridal day, taking Thursday as next best, provided the moon is waxing towards full. Both in America and the Orkneys, however, it is considered very unlucky to change the day once it has been set. "Happy is the bride that the sun shines on" is a prophecy that has come to us from early days on the coast of Wales. There the mists blowing in from the sea made days of sunshine rare events, and the bride on whom the sun shone down considered herself most fortunate. The bride must remember, also, that she must not allow her prospective husband to see her in bridal attire until she meets him before the altar, as to do so is supposed to invite all kinds of bad luck. Few brides care to go to the altar who have not complied with the old proverb about "wearing something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue." As to what the bride shall be attired in, there is an old rhyme which runs: Married in white, you have chosen all right; Married in gray, you will go far away; Married in black, you will wish yourself back; Married in red, you'd better be dead; Married in green, ashamed to be seen; Married in blue, you'll always be true; Married in pearl, you'll live in a whirl; Married in yellow, ashamed of the fellow; Married in brown, you'll live out of town; Married in pink, your spirits will sink. One beautiful marriage custom is that of the bride, immediately after the ceremony, flinging her bonnet among her bridesmales. She who catches it is destined to be the next bride. A piece of flannel dampened with spirits of camphor will remove stains from mirrors or window glass. line between the bodice and the skirt. To wear with plain or embroidered linen collars, or with fancy lace stocks there are many pretty jabot bows now offered. The Persian note is strong in these bows, being used as piplings, borders, etc. Tapestry covered hats, the tapestry in bold patterns of soft and old tints on a light ground stretched tightly over the frame, come in wide picture shapes and close mushroom models.

Persian lamb and broadtail will be well in the forefront of fashionable pelts this winter. Half length coats in these, with practicable collars for buttonting tight around the neck, will be among the most desired garments. Never was such a rage for foulards. Paris already has great hats for spring. Steel hair ornaments are distinctly good in fashion. Wide brocaded ribbons are immensely fashionable. The "Passing of the Cloche" is now being played in almost every millinery shop in Paris. It has had its day. The newest evening slippers are of changeable tissues; silver and gold. Hardwood Floors. Even though hardwood floors are covered partially with rugs, there are times when they get unslightly and need a good dressing. Equal parts of turpentine, raw linsseed oil and white liquid dryer is excellent for this purpose. Put on with a cloth, afterward rubbing perfectly dry with clean woolen cloths. Clean a small space at a time and do not try to cover the entire floor before polishing. Putty Substitute. Soak newspapers in a paste of half a pound of flour, half a pound of alum and three quarts of water, mixed together and boil. This mixture, which should be as thick as putty, may be forced into cracks in floors, walnscoting, etc., with a case knife. It hardens like paper mache, neatly and permanently filling any cracks to which it may be applied. A Sharn Thrust This is a quotation from a Connecticut-cut woman's diary, dated 1750: "We had roast pork for dinner; and Dr. S., who carved, held up a rib on his fork and sald: 'Here, ladies, is what Mother Eve was made of.' 'Yes,' said Sister Patty, 'and it's from very much the same kind of critter.'"—The Christian Register. Length of Street Skirt The length of the skirt is another detail to be considered this winter, and this has a telling effect on the entire dress. The short skirts for the street are now very smart, and it is no disgrace to show the ankles these days. These very short skirts call for the daintest of footwear.

One tablespoonful of extract will flavor one quart of mixture to be frozen. One tablespoon of water or milk should be allowed for each egg in an omelet. How may one cook rice, so as to make it in separate grains and keep it white? Honey should be kept in the dark. If exposed to light it will quickly granulate. One level teaspoonful of salt will season one quart of soup, sauce or vegetables. When cooking with old apples at this season of the year add a little lemon, juice to give flavor. Summer apples need nothing but sugar. One cupful of sugar will sweeten one quart of any mixture to be served chilled or frozen. Alcohol and whiting make a good silver polish excellent for polishing plate glass mirrors. Black lead mixed with vinegar will be found to give a specially good polish to the kitchen stove. To raise the plie on plush sponge it with a little chloroform and it will look fresh and new again. Atlantic City, N.J. (Special)—Dr. Booker T. Washington was the guest of the colored citizens of Atlantic City at a banquet given in his honor. The banquet was an elaborate affair in every particular; many appalling habits. Were served and numerous fossils were made during the evening, guiding the noted guest and his work. Yet it would not be inconsistent to refer to the occasion as a conference, rather than a banquet, as masters were discussed around the festal board, which will have an important bearing on the future welfare of the colored waiters and other members of the race closely associated with hotel life in Atlantic City and throughout the country. The Tuskegeean was entertained under the auspices of the Negro Business league of Atlantic City. In attendance were the prominent business and professional men that place. The presence of the leading colored headwaiters of the famous resort, who took an active part in the conference, was significant. In his talk Dr. Washington submitted the keynote when he advised the members of the league to recruit his energies toward making the colored waiters more efficient and up to date in order that they might successfully compete with the white waiters who come from abroad and secure employment in many of the principal hotels of this country, displacing colored waiters. The educator declared that an effort should be made to bring about a condition wherein the colored waiter would demonstrate that he was not only as good as the white waiter, but a better workman than his white competitor, and that he would not secure work from a standpoint of sympathy, but because he had created a big demand for his services. Professional People Depend on Masses An author statement made by Dr. Washington that occasional little applause was when he told the professional men present that if was foolhardy for the doctors and lawyers to isolate themselves from the ordinary negro. It is on the masses—on the ordinary working men, or women, of the race—that the doctors and lawyers years depend for a livelihood. I have found that what is considered, the ordinary negro is loyal as long as you treat him with the respect and consideration he thinks is due him; on the other hand, I have not noticed that he is quick to resent any attempts to mistreat him, and usually does so in no uncertain tones. I suggest that the professional and working people of the race work hand in hand together, for one is in great need of the other. The headwaiters present heartily agreed with the keynote, sounded by Dr. Washington for efficient colored waiters, and promised to do everything in their power to bring about better conditions. Some of the headwaiters declared after the banquet that the movement inspired by Dr. Washington is bound to prove more than a local issue, and that it is highly probable that many headwaiters throughout the country will cooperate with the various local business leagues with a view no making the colored light of the tray more efficient in his work and more sought after. Washington, D. C. Further reports bearing on the conduct of the Ninth cavalry negro brigade at San Antonio were today received at the war department. They been the previous reports that the negroes were unjustly accused of general disorder in the city. W. D. Cuttle, vice-president, and general manager of the street car lines of San Antonio and St. Augustine Callaghan of San Antonio say the conduct of the negro troopers has been good. to embroider no clothes or dresses for the clothes or to apparel with white linen and hairstyles, paylining or embroidered on the together baby's monogram. If the babies' chest which is embroidered to embark quickly, it is good plan to make of blue linen the uniform shade and embroidered in white. Outline designs done in white are more delicate and take the chest is prepared with white added silk, if clothes are the spirit, in it. If it is meant to look the inside is usually prepared in white or in blue. All embroidered with white chest the covering should be removable, which may be done by lacing the pieces together through cyelets or buttoning them along the fashion of no chunk ootter and scarf. Entered at the Post Office at Savannah, Ga., as Second-Class mail matter. This is the season in which the colleges and other institutions of learning are closing for the term. Hundreds of young men and women will commence their real fight in life's battle. They will have to become educated in the practical things of life. In this they can put into full use the education that they have received and by close application, sturdy efforts and an ambition to win, they can become potent factors in raising the standard of the race along every line of effort for good. With the arrival of balmy spring nights the streets are beginning to become alive with strollers and even the sleepy loggerheads among us who during the fall and winter months so tenaciously cling to the houses and are afraid of the invigorating winter breezes have begun to come back to life and to mingle with their friends who find pleasure in a nice evening jaunt up and down the avenues or a short quiet rest in one of the parks. In fact every sign of spring time is upon us and we all seem to be taking advantage of the pleasant weather which we are experiencing. Even the little boys and girls seem to know that their time of the year has come for they too can be seen unaccompanied at all hours of the evening strolling up and down the streets, walking in the parks and even taking long trolley rides. It is with no small degree of pitty that we so often notice the indifference which is seemingly manifested by too many parents toward their children in the matter of allowing them to prowl the streets in the evenings without proper protection. Tis true that many of the nights of spring and summer are too hot and sultry to spend indoors but that is no reason why a child should be allowed to run the streets, getting into all sorts of mischief, coming in contact with undesirable company and learning of the evil which goes on under the shades of night that is kept under cover by day. Parents can ill afford to relax their vigilance over their children at night it matters not what the condition of the weather or what season. They owe it to their children that they keep a close watch over them if they would have them attain unto all that is good, upright and honest. Allowing girls to go strolling up and down the streets where they may be accosted by ungentlemanly boys is a very bad policy and it is by no means conducive to the best interests of the child or parent. The place for children at night if they are unaccompanied by some responsible grown person is at home and not running wild up and down the streets learning of all the mischief that might confront one after dark ness has set in and becoming acquainted with the evils of the inveterate street goer. We must take an interest in the welfare of our children if we would have them grow up chaste and pure and able to grapple successfully with the problems of life. We must keep a watchful eye over them by night as well as by day and when ever they are out from under our roofs let us have enough interest in them to be sure that they are in responsible hands and are not prowling heedlessly up and down the streets getting into all sorts of mischief. The Charity Hospital Tag Day returns were rather disappointing to most of the ardent supporters of the institution and in comparison to expectations were a dismal failure. It had been hoped by the loyal supporters, friends of the hospital and the general public that the returns of the day would at least yield about a thousand dollars but instead there were less than three hundred dollars realized on the project. What a sad slowing this is in comparison to what was expected. Out of the thirty thousand Negro men, women and children in the city not fully three thousand were reached by the taggers on the first of May. Is it to be said that the great majority of us absolutely refused to be tagged or was it that the fault lays in bad management? We cannot believe that the colored citizens of this city are so uncharitable that they would refuse to yield the small sum of one dime when it is asked of them for such a worthy cause as the one for which this Tag Day was inaugurated. We are therefore compelled to believe from the want of activity on the part of the taggers on May first and the indifference of the majority of the doctors in arousing the citizens to a high pitch on the day in question that the trouble must have been in the management. In other cities where tag days have been instituted the management and all closely connected with it would invariably keep in close touch with the taggers by making rounds of the city during the entire day arousing interest and encouraging the taggers to allow no one to evade them but to get every person that came in contact with them. But this was not done here and as a consequence there were but few of us who were aware of the fact that there was such a thing as tagging going on on May first. It was a serious mistake which was made by not having more taggers on the streets for it was only through the activity of the workers on the streets that the best results could be hoped for. Its all over with now and the hospital is but three hundred dollars better off now than before. We must forget the mistakes made at this initial endeavor and look to the future. We should like to see this Charity Hospital Tag Day on May first an annual affair believing that with all of the doctors not five or six, working in unity for the best and greatest interest of the hospital in which they should all at least have a humanitarian interest that it will prove a success and be the means of adding thousands of dollars to the yearly proceeds of the institution. Let this failure be the means of urging us on to do more toward bettering the financial standing of this institution and if it is seen fit to have a tag day for Charity Hospital during the coming years let us all pledge ourselves to make it a success. Odd Fellow's Rally. Odd Fellows Rally. On last Sunday afternoon at St. Philip Monumental Church the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows held their annual Thanksgiving services. It was a most interesting and unique exercise and the only unfortunate feature of the afternoon was that the large structure at which they convened was by no means adequate to accommodate the large crowd which had assembled. Only about a third of the followers of the order were able to witness the impressive services and those who were able to get entrance into the church felt more than pale the early afternoon and were able to make to get admission. The exercises who witnessed them and were among the most interesting ever held by this order in Savannah. The principal feature of the afternoon was the inspiring address of Mr. Edward H. Burke, one of the progressive young men of the order. His words were well chosen, to the point and proved beyond a doubt that the local order made no mistake in securing him to deliver the main address on this occasion. The able ser. mon of Rev. Townsley was in keeping with the occasion. The rally was in every respect a financial success and came up to expectations. The total amount raised for the building fund was one thousand six hundred seventy seven dollars and eighty cents ($1677.80) while the collection amounted to something like one hundred and eleven dollars. In short it was an inspiring meeting and will long be remembered as a source of much encouragement to the order. Haven Home Closing Exercises The closing exercises of the Haven Home school will begin tomorrow morning at eleven o'clock with the Baccalaureate sermon at St. Paul's Church, West Broad and Maple streets, by Dr. J.

Tag Day Exercise. A representative gathering assembled at St. Philip A. M. E. Church, West Broad and Charles streets, on Monday evening the 15th inst., to participate in the first tag day exercises held for the benefit of the Charity Hospital. The following ministers and physicians were present; Rev. R. H. Singleton, master of ceremonies; Rev. Dr. L. A. Townsley, Rev. Dr. W. E. Farmer, Rev. W. L. Cash, E. D. Giddens, McD. Spencer, W. V. Daughtry; Drs. J. W. Walls, I. D. Williams, N. Beach Institute Entertainment Great Success. One of the most interesting entertainments ever witnessed at the Beach Institute was held on Friday night May 12th by the graduating class. The participants on the program all did exceedingly well and every one present was delighted at what they saw and heard. The principal features of the concert were the music which was well rendered and Aunt Jerusha's Family Album which proved to be very interesting and pleasing. Aside from the concert there were exhibits from the domestic science, sewing and wood turning to departments. These displays were of exceptional interest to all present and showed what effective work has been done this year along these lines. The domestic science exhibit under Miss Limefield consisted of vegetables, biscuits, cakes, fruit, salads; the sewing exhibit under Miss Peters consisted of plain and fancy work while the wood turning and shop work under Professor Rowland showed thoroughness and efficiency. This has been one of the most successful years which this institution has experienced. The program of the closing exercises begins tomorrow at 1 p.m. with the Baccalaureate Sermon in Beach Chapel by Rev. D. A. Reid, D. D., and ends Wednesday night at the Second Baptist Church with the following program: - Invocation, Rev. W. L.

Second Baptist Church. Evangelical Ministers Union. The Evangelical Ministers Union met at Taylor's Chapel, Woodville, Dr. W. E. Farmer presiding. Devotional service was conducted by Dr. E. D. Giddens. The 15th, chapter of St. John was then read after which the chairman introduced Rev. D. V. Daugherty, the speaker of the day. He chose for his text 1st Ps. and 3rd V. verse subject, "The happy Righteous man." The Union heard a well prepared and thoughtful sermon. Rev. I. T. Griner announced his rally at Palen Memorial Church, tomorrow at 3:30 p. m., Dr. B. J. Ross will preach, Dr. L. A. Townsley alternate. Next Tuesday the Union will meet at St. Philip A. M. E. Church, Charles and West Broad.* Beth-Eden Dots. The attendance Sunday was fairly good. The pastor preached at both services to attentive congregations. He has been in Jacksonville all the week attending the Commencement exercises of the Florida Baptist College and to be present at the Southern Baptist Con- vention which is in session in that city. He will fill his pupil tomorrow. At 11 a. m., the subject of the sermon will be "The three classes of people whom Jesus met." At night the sermon will be along evangelical lines. Baptism on the 4th Sunday night. You are invited. Good music and polite ushers. P. B. B. Church Dots. On Sunday night there was quite a large crowd at church. Rev. Wright read for the lesson Fs. 5.1-12. His subject was from Habakkuk 2:20. The subject was The Presence of God in His Temple." Adds Wright was required of each church in the temple. Each individual should have a good motive in entering God's Temple and divert their minds from worldly affairs if they are to be benefited by the sermons. The sermon was surely beneficial to all. Rev. Wright led the hymn "Am I a Soldier of the Cross." He very tenderly invited those who felt the need of prayer to the mercy-seat, a very large crowd bowed. Prayer was offered. Do not forget our revival. We will be pleased to have you come at any service. Monumental Notes. Monumental Notes. Sunday was a glorious day in the Old Mother Church.

First Congregational Church. On last Sunday the services at the First Congregational Church were exceptionally interesting owing to the fact that it was the last day of the six weeks' rally which the church has been in for the purpose of raising funds for new pews and necessary repairs. The morning service was along the usual lines with a very interesting and thoughtful sermon by Rev. Cash while the session of the Sunday School at 10 o'clock was full of excitement listening to the returns of the little ones in bringing their share of the rally money which amounted to something over one hundred dollars. At night the sermon was very brief in order to hear the complete returns of the rally and when the clubs had all made their returns the grand total of eleven hundred odd dollars had been turned in. Of this sum the church and Sunday School raised over nine hundred dollars while from concerts, and out side donations the grand total of money, received was brought up to eleven hundred dollars. The rally surpassed all expectations and the pastor, members] and friends are all looking forward with eager eyes to the early installation of the new pews and to the pleasing appearance which the church will present when all the work of renovation is completed. Tomorrow morning Rev. Gray of London, England will preach. BEST AND HEALTH TO MOTHER AND CHILD Miss. Winslow's Soothing Syrup has been used for over Sixty YEARS by MILLIONS of people.

We would fail to do our duty had we neglected to say a word for our friend whose gentlemanly bearing and physical culture show to the most scrutinizing eye that Mr. F. J. Pierce had treated himself in a way that brought to him good health and also an enviable fortune since their absence from each other. But with sad regret he left us on the evening of the 11th to visit Mr. A. L. Pierce, another brother whom he has not seen in 21 years. Franklin came from a long line of great people whose memory will never die. We learned that before Mr. Pierce returns to his home he will visit Mr. James. Pierce professor of mathematics, State school, Orangeburg, S. C., after which he will continue his journey homeward kindly thinking of those seen in the familiar words. "How dear to my heart are the scenes of my childhood, when fond recollection presents them to view; the orchard the meadow the deep tangle wildwood, and every love spot that my infancy knew." We hope for you Franklin a long and prosperous life and hope you will think kindly of us in dear old Chatham, especially when you shall have taken to yourself your better half. * * * W.

S. Gearhart, state highway engineer of Kansas, more important that all the curverts and culverts be in good condition than all the roads be kept, in first class design, if the road is to be used at all the culverts that bridges must be kept run. It is not often that a road gets so bad that it is impassable, but this is a common occurrence with culverts and bridges. The old food is a thing of the past and almost with no trace of the worst places in the road are at the culvert sites. They generally are three to ten inches more of the low the road surface and often have much hole on either side, and are in such wretched condition we would glayly drive around them if we could and often have to do so. And many of the stone and concrete culverts are only covered sufficiently to them in place. They are like a series of barrel half buried in the pavement being made to build approaches to shamrock. Different state highway commissions have defined culverts as structures having spans of less than four feet to ten feet. In this discussion I assume that all structures undernot feet and culverts: At the present hold practically all culverts in Kansas, topmost, to carry the water that comes to it. The matter of the required area is one that has been given very little information. Good Stone lait in cement mortar is very satisfactory if in earthen, flat top stone construction for culverts. It slabs are applied, in column: client stones would require that they flagging should lie, swale inches the slits. Slit is close to the safe maximum span for the flat top stone culvert. Many times stone culverts are built as a reinforced pavement placed on top which gives a very satisfactory structure. In the arch construction the base of the foundation should be sufficiently wide to resist overturning and be stable under an axial load without any consideration for the earth falls. make obstructive damage to the foundation, so double the beige material along the front wall of each form. The arch is definitely objectionable in this country because it is found necessary in orders and gets a sympathetic amount of writing pay to make it rise in the road wall in many cases, for very advantage in the case of the flat top bridge. The required width can be obtained by angling the other span without making anything fit the road which hum would in most cases reside in a muddy or eroded area. Where the foundations are not firm and there is danger of the structure settling, the flat top also to be prepared so the foundations are all vertical and the top as supporting. The abutments do settle the top can be readily adjusted, while in the arch form there is a very little that can be done to repair injury by settlement. DURABLE AND DUSTLESS. A durable) and dustless road pavement is claimed by Francis Woods, British engineer, in a combination of two inch granite with Trinidad stone bitumen. It is said to cost less than macadam and to be good for at least fifteen years. Various experiment have shown that it will stand wear and wet better than any other material ever tested.

It provides for a state highway commission consist of the regents of the agricultural college. This commission is to appoint state engineers who will pass on all bridges and road improvements. The highway fund is to be provided by the treasury of motor cars, dealers and manufacturers. The state engineer is to receive a salary fixed by the Commission. The motive derives from the stating of motor vehicles; its expenses has the highway commission's offices has been paid, is to be turned over to the county treasurers in proportion to the amount each county has paid. POTATO ROOT Potato root according to official authorities, is the direct cause of the侵害 of a disease known as "potato fungus." It also potato is infected with this disease, germs, do not take very long to spread to other potatoes if they are in the same cell. The German agriculturists, have suggested a remedy for this which is said to be very effective. A solution of chloride of time is made by taking one pound to twenty-five gallons of water. The potatoes are then treated out and treated with a broom. After one has been treated with this solution they are treated thoroughly and then hand threshed. The threshed bean has been found that that effectively destroys the potato fungus which causes the Journal of Agricultural Science. ZARRING SHELL ROADS A study experiment is being made on Street Commissioner Gary of St. Paul's Street, with the intention on the street surface to be restored. The surface of the street is restored so that it is properly, safely, and may solve the problem of making the shell movement during shelling. Six hundred square yards were treated at a cost of 42 cents a yard. The surface was then scaffolded and then graded to a crown. While the shell was in this loose condition gas was applied, and the street was then rolled with the street roller.

The Song of the Vineyard 1-7. The "Well-beloved" of the Song is Jehovah in other instances he is the Song of Sol. 2:16; 5:22; 6:16; 6:3). The figure of the vineyard is a tolite guard in the little ch. 27:2, 3; Ps. 80:8; Jer. 2:21; c)lyus, in his teaching, refers, in this parable (Matt. 21:33, and following). The vineyard is the House of Israel (v. 7). Israel is also the vine (cf. Ps. 80:8). In the New Testament application, the vineyard is the kingdom (Matt. 23:41, 43). The true vine is Christ himself (John 1:51). We need not force the details of what Jehovah did for the vineyard, the thought is he did everything that could be done (v. 4). Just the fence on street, about it (v. 4), is primarily, the law, it is this that separated Israel from other nations (Ebh. 21:45); but Jehovah himself was also a fence about his people (Ex. 33:16). They were a separated people. Jehovah looked for fruit from a vineyard for which he had done so much. The fruit that he looked for was specifically juicy, and brightness (v. 7). But instead of sweet grapes Israel only brought forth fruit today from his vineyard the church the truth of the Spirit (Gail 5:22; 23:3). God is constantly disappointed in man. God is constantly appealing to men to judge, harm, hurt and themselves (v. 5; cf. Jer. 2:45; Miech. 2:3; Matt. 21:40, 41). One of the incredible things of history is the unbounded way in which men return the boundless mercies of God (John 15:23). Merely abused will, some day, be withdrawn (v. 5; cf. Lev. 21:35; and 28:19.5). The prophecies made in 5, 6, were fulfilled to the very letter 2 Ch. 30:4-10; 20:2-3; Ps. 74:11; 80:12-14; and being with fulfilled to the very letter 21:24-17. The best explanation of present-day conditions is found in Jebbly prophecy. The land was laid utterly waste. The prophecy of the withholding of rain is especially surprised. This is apart of the original withholding of Jehovah if they should prove untrue to him (Bob. 28:25, 24), and we see the fulfilment of the prophecy in the Holy land today, a manance marvellously fruitful, a desolate because of the withholding of rain. In Israel and Judah, Jehovah looked for judgment, but found only oppression; for righteousness, but found only the cry of the downtrodden. He is looking for designation of the church today, but how often he finds only oppression; for righteousness, but how often hears only the cry of the wronged. 21. Wife to husband, who is impartial at 12. In this respect, follow, we find the wooful consequences of the impression that 'God is law. God pronounced his six woes upon his people because of them (rs. 822). The first woe, is pronounced upon the green, monopollus (rs. 822). This is a form of intemperance, that needs to be as sternly rebuked as intemperance in 'strong drink' Were it gives & very graphic picture of a large class among us today who point themselves happy, but, upon whom, devilish pronances woe. More and more will this be true as time passes, even still came to pass (Jerusalem). The greatest houses and estates that men point building will some day be desolate and without inhabitant. The second woe, is pronounced upon those who live for the him, so he burning the candle both ends and will soon burn if out. It is a general instruction what after speaking in general terms the rule of Judah (v. 10) must precedent references are made to the wisdom. It is clear that the prophet, Isaiah (as well as other prophets considered Judah's, talmud, israeli, as due largely to intemperance (cf. ch. 28:11, 7; Hos. 7:5; the object of wine is intolerance, the stomach and blood and eyes and brain, the viles and fiercest passions of the soul, Judah's hearts of fire of hell) that foolish wine is fooling with a fire that causes the young prostrate man to ever known.

WASHINGTON BY A. W. PULLER, D. D., LL. D. TUSKEGEE, ALABAMA. "Woodman spare that tree, Touch not its aged bough; In youth it sheltered me, And I'll protect it now." Thus sung one of our sweetest poets not many years ago, and thus thought every race-loving Negro on the 20th of March, when the news of the dreadful assault upon Dr. Booker T. Washington of the night before was published in the newspapers. Millions of his admirers offered him every assistance which Christian ethics would endorse. Cruel, heartless and heavy were the blows which prostrated him upon the ground, but the blows inflicted upon his body, heavy as they were, were light compared to the blows inflicted upon his character; if the blows inflicted upon his body had done him no more physical harm than the untrue insinuations did him moral harm, he would never have needed a doctor or a hospital. Speaking to the editor of the Pittsburg Dispatch on the evening after this occurrence, I said, for the life of me I cannot see what good can come out of this affair. But, calmly looking it all over, we can see many lessons of value to the American Negro coming out of this unprovoked attack upon Tuskegee's spotless chieftain who has never been false to a friend nor cruel to a foe. May God guide us while we try to make these lessons plain to our readers. 1. The first lesson which we learn from this occurrence is that the only storm-proof refuge in the hours of adversity is an upright life. The news of this dreadful affair filled our sky with midnight darkness. But one thing made twelve million Negroes feel that somehow "good would be the final goal of ill," and that was the upright life of the man. For twenty-nine years he had moved among all grades of both races in this country; he had had under his direct charge over thirty thousand students; ten thousand of these had been females, with these he had sustained the most intimate relations, yet in all of his more than fatherly dealings and associations with them, the breath of scandal had never touched his skirts; he had been tempted and tried, yet he stood out as the great high priest of true gentility with his garments pure and unsullied. These facts cheered us all amid the varied rumors and fastly flying reports. When all men were disturbed and confused, Dr. Washington stood, self-soiled him in the country. Securely housed within the fortress of his past life, he simply waited. Leading lawyers of the north and south, gentlemen who have graced the supreme courts of southern and northern states, telegraphed him their services to defend him. He courteously declined them all. He had a lawyer who would plead his cause at the bar of public opinion more eloquently than could any of them. That lawyer was his past life and consecration to duty. And now his case has been pleaded, the verdict has been rendered. He has come forth from his refuge, physically weaker but influentially stronger than ever he was in all his life. God grant that all this mighty race for which Dr. Washington is toiling may build for themselves the same kind of a refuge, so that when the storms of adversity come swooping down upon us we may find the same shelter he found and come out after the storm unharmed and congratulated as he did. 2. The second lesson which we learn from this epoch-making occurrence is the equal value to every progressive, self-respecting Negro, is that the Mason and Dixon line has nothing to do with the respect which this country shows to an upright, useful Negro. Every section of the great country, north, south, east and west; men of every political faith, religious creed, social standing, vied with each other in assuring this Christian gentleman of their continued confidence in him. The telegraph companies made a small fortune sending the telegrams that came to him from all parts of the country. The humble man in his cabin on the plains, the college professors in our leading institutions of learning, philanthropists, journalists, statesmen, churchmen and even the president in his seat in the White House—these all sent words of assurance and offers of assistance to this man, whose worth and greatness shall never be fully realized until the smoke and clouds of life's battlefield shall have passed away and he shall be seen in the distance. We repeat that this shall indeed be an epoch in the history of this country and a turning point in the history of the American Negro. From Dr. Washington's misfortune every struggling Negro may know that he will be loved and respected for being a man no matter how black his skin, if his heart and purposes are white. But let none of us expect this love and respect in the hours of perils and danger unless we are made of the same stuff that brought it to Dr. B. T. Washington—Christian manhood. 3. A third lesson which we learn from this divinely overruled misfortune is useful lives are not easily destroyed. Napoleon when being lectured for exposing himself to so many dangers, said: "As long as my life is of any service to humanity, God will not allow it to be taken." And when we think of Dr. Washington alone and unarmed, and murderously attacked by that misguided man, twice struck down with a deadly weapon, and then rising by almost superhuman strength and rushing out just at the time when an officer came by, the only reason we can give for him being alive today is because his work was not done and this country was not ready to spare him. No, his work is not done. Thirty years ago God showed him the true condition of our race. He beheld us, dehumanized by slavery, enthralled by ignorance, the victims of superstition and the slaves of passion. He took from God's hand the task of rehumanizing this race and of undoing the effects of two hundred and fifty years of servitude. His task was far greater than that of Moses, the deliverer of the Jewish race. For Moses led his people out of slavery and was satisfied to stop there. But Dr. B. T. Washington was not content to see his race out of slavery. He wanted to get slavery out of the race. He looked at our many shortcomings as the tops of great mountains of vice and ignorance beneath the surface of the sea of life, which must be removed before we could enter the promised land of Christian manhood. He said to God, by Thy help and that of the best in both races, I will undertake to make out of this downtrodden people a race that shall be the boast of the Twentieth century and the glory of all eternity. His task was great, his burdens many. But he faltered not nor fainted. He braved all dangers. He laughed at discouragement, he harnessed up opposition and made even contrary winds carry him and his race toward the desired haven. On bended knee, he told God the needs of his race. And the very heavens rained down gold and silver to carry forward his God-given task. He walked across the school grounds and shed tears until his eyes were red and blood-shotten, thinking of the downtrodden condition of the race for which he has always been ready to die and for which he was laying down his life every day. I believe that the hardships which he suffered in the childhood days of Tuskegee turned the hairs of his faithful brother gray and hastened his first wife on her way to the grave and heaven. What that man has suffered and borne God alone knows. Yet he went forward. Before his glance vice and immorality vanished. Before his genial spirit, the swamps and deserts of Alabama flourished and blossomed as a rose. Where his tears and sweat fell and his prayers went up, buildings, the grandest in the world, have sprung up as if by magic. These buildings are the moral, industrial and religious military schools in which the black race is being trained to fight the battles of life. From these buildings thousands have gone out to enrich and bless the world with the lessons learned therein. Tuskegee institute has become the golden gate to the promised land of Christian manhood. It and its founder constitute the eighth wonder of the world. But his work is not yet complete. His school is not yet self-supporting. His plans have not yet been generally accepted by the very race to which God sent him. Men of his own race, who have never advanced a single plan that has bettered the condition of our race, have opposed and derided his plans. And yet, the oldest civilizations of Asia, the leading civilizations of Europe and the newest civilizations of America have accepted these very plans and incorporated them into their educational systems. Touched by the bleeding hand of Jesus Christ, the slumbering nations of antiquity have at last started out for the judgment seat. But they have stopped on their march to the judgment seat of God to get this God-made leader to teach them how to get ready for the general review of the world and the final judgment day. This wonder working man has done more to reduce the friction between the two races in this country than any race leader since the war. He has done more to show the white man the real good in the black man and to show the black man the real love and friendship in the white man than all the other race leaders in the Negro race. This is not child talk. It is rothing but cold, stubborn facts. To stand beneath the shadow of such a man is a privilege which any man would enjoy who does not think more of himself than he does of the progress of his race. This man's work is not yet finished and we trust that God will not take him from us until he shall bring forth the headstone of this great work and angels small cry, "Grace, grace be unto it." It may be true that the good that men do is oft interred with their bones, but we believe that the good which Dr. Washington has done and is doing shall live on in the hearts of the immortal beings whom he is building up when shining worlds shall cease to move. 4. The last lesson which we learn from this misunderstood and misinterpreted occurrence is the one that will make us all rejoice. It is this: Tuskegee institute is here to stay. When this affair occurred many of us saw visions that made our hearts sick. We saw Tuskegee wiped from the maps. We saw our orphanized, race weeping over the grave of a loving father. We were ready to speak in the language of William Cowper: "Men on the dubious waves of error His ship half foundered and his compass lossed." But, when the white men right at Tuskegee and from every corner of the habitable globe sent words of assurance to him and to us, we sang "Praise God from whom all blessings flow." Tuskegee is the work of God. So is Dr. Washington and so is the Negro race. The storm that struck her chlieftain on the night of March 19 was the worst that has ever struck her. She stands forth today fairer and stronger than ever. He who has been with dear old Tuskegee in the storms of the past will guide her in the days to come. And when our Dr. B. T. Washington shall have leaped from the highest seat occupied by a human being in the hearts of the Christian world and been elevated to his richly deserved place on the throne of God, Tuskegee shall still live on until the last chain of ignorance and sin shall have been stricken from the black race and God and angels and good men shall have completed their work of leading the human family back to Eden. "What Our Young Women Owe to Themselves" was the subject of a most interesting and instructive address delivered by Mrs. M. C. Lawton to the members and visitors at a meeting of the Lexington avenue branch of the Young Women's Christian association in Brooklyn recently. Mrs. Lawton spoke in part as follows: In a great city like this, with its teeming millions of inhabitants, composed, as it is, of every nationality, every kindred, tongue and tribe, there must naturally arise various conditions for our immediate consideration. The constant inflow from all parts of the world to this, the metropolis of the United States, the ever increasing demand for efficient service, together with the opposition which confronts the working girl of the colored race, give rise to a problem whose complexity is almost insoluble. Although institutions for the advancement and promotion of our girls have been established through which thousands of them have been saved to the race and to the glory of womanhood, there are still phases of this situation, discouraging though they may be, that must be reckoned with. As long as time lasts there will be working girls, but just what position they will occupy they alone must determine. It is evident, however, that their value will increase in proportion to the efficiency of their efforts, and their position or rank will be computed according to the dignity they inject into their character. Nobody is going to rate you higher than you rate yourselves. If you place a small estimate on yourselves others will do likewise, but if you feel yourselves the equal of those filling the same position you will be rated accordingly. Now, what is the cause of this lack of confidence? It is due to the fact that you have not made the necessary preparation for your life's work. Working people are the bone and sinew of every race. Degradation comes not in the kind of labor you perform, but the quality of service you give. Live in an atmosphere of self respect whether you are accorded those rights which others enjoy or not. Be honest, conscientious and upright in your dealings with your fellow man. The peace of conscience you will enjoy will repay you for the effort you put forth, and, besides, this course is the first step toward union, toward organization, both of which are absolutely indispensable to racial progress and advancement. We are living in the formative, constructive or historic period of our race. We have just about cleared the forest and begun the foundation upon which future generations of our race must build the superstructure. Those of us who are thus engaged are the brick masons, stonecutters, hodcarriers, carpenters, etc., in the erection of this racial structure, and our work must be well done if it is to stand the storms of antagonism, the cyclonic winds of prejudice and the thunderbolts of injustice which will attack us.

COTTQN PICKING MACHINE SHOULD HELP THE NEGRO LABORERI COTTQN PICKING MACHINE SHOULD HELP THE NEGRO LABORERI Booker T. Washington declares that the new cotton picking machine, designed to replace 50 laborers, and expected to cause a revolution in methods pursued in the cotton fields, affecting particularly the south, will be an aid to the negro as the cotton gin has been. According to Mr. Washington, it will enable the negro to devote more time to the cultivation of the fields for food products. Moorfield Story, on the other hand, finds considerable to question in Mr. Washington's conclusions. Both were speakers on this subject at a dinner to textile manufacturers and bankers given in Boston by Theodore H. Price of New York, the financial backer of the new invention, and in connection with the annual meeting of the National Association of Cotton Manufacturers. About 200 attended. While the courses were being served, motion cotton picking pictures were displayed showing the old style of hand picking by negroes and the new method by the machine. Mr. Price remarked that in the future it will be possible to do for $20,000,000 what it now costs $200,-000,000 to do in harvesting cotton. Mr. Story said the interesting question is "Who gets the odd $180,000,-000 and who loses it?" If such a change is to be brought about at once an enormous number of human beings will find themselves without a livelihood, he said. The tendency has been to close the black man all opportunity for labor, save in the cotton field, he added, and if the negroes are to remain citizens of this country and if machinery deprives them of their labor, he asked what is to become of them. Mr. Washington said the black man welcomes every labor-saving device as a means of progress in civilization. Whenever a white man in the south gets a dollar, he said, a negro gets a part of it at least, and whatever helps the prosperity of the whites is for the benefit of the negroes. That has been the case with the cotton gin, he asserted. The negroes are obliged to devote themselves so much to the cotton crop that they can do nothing else, and are obliged to send nearly all their money to other parts of the country for food products. With the mechanical cotton picker, he said, they can have plenty of time to raise most of their farm products. "Men of my race will welcome any improvement in industrial life. Labor is seeking the man in the south, and some men have hard work to escape the job. Colored labor is in great demand. Southern industries have increased wonderfully, but population has not kept proper pace." "When this invention is introduced, care must be taken to provide other employment for the colored people who are now picking cotton with their hands." NEGRO IN THE WEST INDIES. Seemingly instantaneous, West Indian emancipation was in reality gradual. Colonies which neglected to prepare for it as long as fifty years before were at great disadvantage, so far as racial adjustment was concerned. Insisting on an apprenticeship system in place of immediate emancipation, they reaped their reward in the shape of fierce outbreaks, which came from black men determined to be free indeed or die for liberty. As was said before, this vast social change was foreseen almost fifty years before it occurred, and was carefully provided for by men who followed the English custom of undertaking and accomplishing constitutional and social reforms ahead of time, and not in a few brief years of violence and civil strife. It was not adopted as a measure of political expediency nor from the necessities of war. Hence the basis for "the very kindly relations between the races" in the West Indies stretches far back into the past. The southerner In the United States may view with increasing concern, the widening chasm between his son and the son of the black man with whom he played in childhood. He knows that where sympathy and affection are wanting and race instinct strong, cruelty and might become dominant, and that these two hurt the oppressor as much as the oppressed. The West Indian white man has no such fear. He has his prejudices; equally strong are those of the black man. For this reason the one race respects the other's prejudices, both feeling that on the broad field of industry, of education, of good citizenship, and of manhood, there is room enough for both, white and black.—S. B. Jones in the Southern Workman. UNDYING CHARM. Nora had lived as parlor mald in an artistic family for six months. It seemed to Miss Aurelia only natural that Norah should have developed some love of art in that time. One day she discovered the little maid, dust cloth in hand, gazing at the Venus of Milo. "Do you like her best of all, Norah?" asked Miss Aurelia. "Sure, an' I do, miss," said Norah, warmly. "She may not look quite so nate wild her arrms gone, but she's so alfy to doost, I fair-love her!" Youth's Companion. MACON-COUNTY, ALABAMA, A MODEL SECTION FOR THE NEGRO MACON-COUNTY, ALABAMA, A MODEL SECTION FOR THE NEGRO In a recent number of The World's Work, Booker T. Washington concludes the series of articles entitled, "Chapters From My Experience." We quote below a short extract. "I have long been of the opinion that the persons in charge of the Negro colleges do not realize the extent to which it is possible to create in every part of the south a friendly sentiment toward Negro education, provided it can be shown that this education has actually benefited and helped in some practical way the masses of the Negro people, with whom the white man in the south come, most in contact. We should not forget that as a rule in the south it is not the educated Negro, but the masses of the people, the farmers, laborers and servants, with whom the white people come into daily contact. If the higher education which is given to the few does not in some way directly or indirectly reach and help the masses, very little will be done toward making Negro education popular in the south or toward securing from the different states the means to carry it on. On the other hand, just so soon as the southern white man can see for himself the effects of Negro education in the better service he receives from the laborer on the farm or in the shop; just so soon as the white merchant finds that education is giving the Negro not only more wants but more money with which to satisfy these wants, thus making him a better customer; when the white people generally discover that Negro education lessens crime and disease and makes the Negro in every way a better citizen, then the white taxpayer will not look upon the money spent for Negro education as a mere sop to the Negro race, or perhaps as money entirely thrown away. I said something like this some years ago to the late Mr. H. H. Rogers and together we devised a plan for giving the matter a fair test. He proposed that we take two or three counties for the purpose of the experiment, give them good schools and see what would be the result. We agreed that it would be of no use to build these schools and give them outright to the people, but determined rather to use a certain amount of money to stimulate and encourage the colored people in these counties to help themselves. The experiment was started first of all, in Macon county, Ala., in the fall of 1905. Before it was completed Mr. Rogers died, but members of his family kindly consented to carry on the work to the end of the term that we had agreed upon, that is to say, to October, 1910. As a result of this work 46 new school buildings were erected at an average cost of $700 each; school terms were lengthened from three and four to eight and nine months at an average cost to the people themselves of $3,600 per year. Altogether about $20,000 were raised by the people in the course of this five-year period. Similar work on less extensive scale was done in four other counties. As a result we now have in Macon county a model public school system supported in part by the County Board of Education, and in part by the contributions of the people themselves. As soon as we had begun with help of the colored people in the different country communities to erect these model schools throughout the county, C. J. Calloway, who had charge of the experiment, began advertising in colored papers throughout the south that in Macon county it was possible for a Negro farmer to buy land in small or large tracts near eight-months' schools. Before long the Negro farmers not only adjoining counties but from Georgia and the neighboring states began to make inquiries. A good many farmers who were not able to buy land but wanted to be near a good school, began to move into the county in order to go to work on the farms. Others who already had property in other parts of the south sold out and bought land in Macon county. Mr. Calloway informs me that during the past five years he alone has sold land in this county to something like 50 families at a cost of $49,740. He sold during the year 1910, 1,450 acres at a cost of $21,335. I do not think that any of us realized the full value of this immigration into Macon county until the census of 1910 revealed the extent to which the dislocation of the farming population has been going on in other parts of the state. The census shows, for example, that a majority of the Black Belt counties in Alabama instead of increasing have lost population during the past ten years. It is in the black belt counties which have no large cities that this decrease has taken place. Macon county although it has no large cities is an exception, for instead of losing population it shows an increase of more than 10 per cent. I think that there are two reasons for this. In the first place there is very little Negro crime and no mob violence in Macon county. The liquor law is enforced and there are few Negroes in Macon county who do not co-operate with the officers of the law in the effort to get rid of the criminal element. In the second place Macon county is provided not only with the schools that I have described, but with teachers who instruct their pupils in regard to things that will help them and their parents to improve their homes, their stock, and their land, and help them in other ways to earn a better living. When the facts brought out by the census were published in Alabama they were the subject of considerable discussion among the large planters and in the public press generally. In the course of the discussion I called attention, in a letter to the Montgomery Advertiser, to the facts to which I have referred. In commenting upon this letter the editor of the Advertiser said: "The State of Alabama makes liberal appropriations for education, and it is part of the system for the benefit to reach both white and black children. It must be admitted that there are many difficulties in properly spending the money and properly utilizing, which will take time and the legislature to correct. The matter complained of in the Washington letter could not be easily remedied by the various county superintendents, and it is their duty to see that the causes for such complaint are speedily removed. Negro fathers and mothers have shown intense interest in the education of their children and if they cannot secure what they want at present, residences they will as soon as possible seek it elsewhere. We commend Booker T. Washington's letter on this subject to the careful consideration of all school officials and to all citizens of Alabama." The value of the experiment made in Macon county is in my opinion less in the actual good that has been done to the 26,000 people, white and black who live there, than it is in the showing by actual experiment what a proper system of Negro education can do in a country district toward solving the racial problem. We have no race problem in Macon county; there is no friction between the races; agriculture is improving; the county is growing in wealth. In talking with the sheriff recently he told me that there is so little crime in this county that he scarcely finds enough to keep him busy. Furthermore, I think I am perfectly safe in saying that the white people in this county are convinced that negro education pays. What is true of Macon county may, in my opinion, be true of every other county in the south. Much will be accomplished in bringing this about if those schools which are principally engaged in preparing teachers should turn about and face in the direction of the south, where their work lies. My own experience convinces me that the easiest way to get money for any good work is to show that you are willing and able to perform the work for which the money is given. The best illustration of this is, perhaps, the success, in spite of difficulties and with almost no outside aid, of the best of the negro medical colleges. These colleges, although very largely dependent upon the fees of their students for support, have been successful because they have prepared their students for a kind of service for which there was a real need. GENERAL BUTLER FRIEND C NEGRO. Read this statement related on the floor of congress and then say whether Butler was a friend of the colored people: "There it became my painful duty, sir, to follow in the track of that charging column and there, in a space not wider than the clerk's desk and three hundred yards long, lay the dead bodies of five hundred and forty-three of my colored comrades, fallen in defense of the country, who had offered up their lives to uphold its flag and its honor, as a willing sacrifice; and as I rode along among them guilding my horse this way and that way less he should profane with his hoofs what seemed to me the sacred dead, and as I looked on their bronzed faces upturned in the shining sun to heaven, as in mute appeal against the wrongs of the country for which they had given their lives, and whose flag had only been to them a flag of stripes, on which no star of glory has ever shown for them—feeling that I had wronged them in the past, and believing what was the future of my country to them, among my dead comrades there I swore to myself a solemn oath. 'May my right hand forget its cunning and my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth if I ever fail to defend the rights of these men who have given their blood for me and my country this day and for their race forever, and God helping me, I will keep my oath."—Gen. Benjamin F. Butler, in the house of representatives, on the charge at Fort Harrison in '64. THE BIG NEGRO NOT A FACTOR. The big negro, that is, one who has an inflated conception of his or her importance in society, is absolutely of no benefit to race enterprises. If he patronizes a colored institution at all it is only to the extent of the credit allowed him; then he goes back to the white shops with his tale of woe. The average big negro will not even support a colored newspaper, but will get all the white newspapers he can on credit. The churches, too, suffer from these vultures, who prey upon the good graces of the Christian element and yield no returns whatever. Down with this class of cattle, who are proving an impediment in the path of progress. HER IDEA. "What is your idea of a satisfied wife?" "There is no such thing." "Oh, yes, there is." "What is it, I'd like to know?" "A widow." One of the interesting exhibits of these parlous days of discontent is the exodus of Negroes from Oklahoma to Canada. For several months past colonization agents have been working among the Negro population of Oklahoma, painting in glowing colors the attractiveness of the Canadian provinces, in the northwest and the fortunes to be won from their fertile soil. The fruits of these labors became apparent a week or two ago when the first party of emigrants, numbering ninety families, or about 500 Negroes in all, started on the long journey to the newly opened region of the northwest. They sold all their property in Oklahoma, much of it at a great sacrifice, intending to homestead quarter section claims in Canada. Many other Negroes are preparing to follow their example with the prospect that there will be a heavy exodus. According to the reports of the colonization agents, the next party will number over 1,000 families. Preparations have been completed to move this party in the spring. A treaty provision admits them to Canada if they have $5 each in cash. These emigrants, as a rule, are fairly well educated, many having been taught in the government schools for Indians in the old Indian territory. The causes of the exodus are not hard to find. Aside from the advantages which they have been told Canada possesses, there is general discontent among the Negroes on account of adverse legislation in Oklahoma. "Jim Crow" coach and depot laws, the "grandfather clause" act which prohibits them from voting, separate school laws and other oppressive measures have filled their cup of bitterness to overflowing. The exodus has been bitterly opposed by a large per cent. of the white population of the Canadian provinces, but the Canadian government has decided that there is no law against their admission, and the exodus will probably continue until the heavy Negro population of Oklahoma is largely depleted. There is something sad about this movement. It seems an anomaly that the Negro should be driven by hard circumstance to leave the genial climate of Oklahoma to build a new home in the bleak, icy northwest. The Negro is a creature of tropical sunshine. It is difficult to associate him with a land of frost and snow. By nature and inheritance he belongs to the land of cotton. The Negroes who compose hts exodus are going among a hostile population in a strange land—a people with foreign ways, customs and laws, the opposite of those they have hitherto known. It is more than likely that the change will be an unhappy one, and it is not improbable that most of these immigrants will find their way back across the border before the snows of many Canadian winters have chilled their toes.—Kansas City Journal. A COLD DAY IN CHURCH. In vain the tenor pleaded that he had caught a cold in his head, in consequence of an accident that had delayed the cold street car in which he had ridden to church. The leader of the choir insisted that he must sing his usual solo, but relented so far as to give him a simple hymn, and this is the way he sang it: The bordig light is breakig, The darkdess disappears; The suds of earth are wakig To peditedtial tears Each breeze that sweeps the ocead Brigs tidigs frob afar.
