VOLUME XXVI. PERKINS STRIKES AT TRUST LAW PERKINS STRIKES AT TRUST LAW Says Corporations Cannot Exist Under Its Enforcement. RED- FLAG FOR BUSINESS. Steel Director Tells Congressmen That Corporations Cannot Continue Operations and Conform to the Statutes. Washington: George W. Perkins, financier and director of the United States Steel Corporation, made some striking recommendations with reference to the government's control of corporations. A witness before the House Steel Trust Investigating Committee, he declared that existing laws were seriously threatening big business interests and their rigid enforcement was rendering it impossible for corporations to continue operations in conformity with the statutes. Some of his observations follow: Some of his observations follow. "That great corporations, grown up under demands of existing conditions, could no longer successfully exist under the Sherman Anti-Trust Law as now rigidly enforced. "That the government's dissolution of the Standard Oil Company served as a waving of a 'red flag' of warning to every corporation in the United States. "That something of a constructive nature must be done by the government with reference to the control of corporations, and rather than for present conditions to continue, it would be better to go to the limit of permitting government regulation of prices." Forced to Violate the Law. "That the very reason subsidiary companies of a great corporation can violate the law without knowledge of the officers of the holding company, is the law which prevents such a corporation from operating and ruling the subsidiary concerns instead of merely advising them. "That one great stride toward averting financial panics in New York could be made if the government would prevent banks in Chicago and the Middle West loaning money on call in New York during the summer at cheap rates and suddenly calling it back in the fall for the crop movement, making high money and trouble in the New York market. "That the establishment of a government bureau which could give accurate information to the public as to the conditions of corporations would be an active inducement to the people to make wise investments. "That one of the most striking developments of the present system of conducting business on a large scale is the dividing of great interests into the hands of many investors rather than concentrating them in the hands of a few." Witness Pounds Table. Mr. Perkins made the foregoing observations during the third day of his examination by the steel committee inquisitor, and at times he was eloquent and forceful in his declarations. He frequently emphasized his remarks by waving his arms, pounding upon the witness table with his fists and rising from his seat to address the committee. Mr. Perkins made other interesting statements. He said there was too much alarm over the cry of an ore monopoly in the country and that valuable ores constantly were being discovered, and ore yet unavailable was being studied and soon would be available. The witness denounced as an 'infamous falsehood" the charge that the panic of 1907 was precipitated for the purpose of ruining certain bankers. FAMOUS HOTEL FIRESWEPT J. L Finney, American Actor is a Victim. London.—Jameson Lee Finney, the American actor, perished in a fire which destroyed a portion of the Carlton Hotel, where he was a guest. The body was found in the bathroom and adjoining Mr. Finney's room in the fifth floor of the annex. The face was so badly charred that the features were unrecognizable. Apparently Mr. Finney had gone into the bathroom to bathe before dressing and was asphyxiated. This death was the only one resulting from the fire, which, however, was attended by exciting scenes and considerable loss to the building through fire and water. A large number of American guests escaped from the hotel, but lost their baggage. The Savannah PLAIN CASE OF DESERTION HAVE GONE TO THE COUNTRY MR.

FRYE DEAD Had Been Ill Long, But End Was Unexpected—Waa 41 Years In Congress. Lewiston, Me.—The State of Maine lost its senior Senator and an almost lifelong, faithful servant when William Pierce Frye died Tuesday at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Helen White, in this city. The end came at 3.55 P. M. At his bedside were Mrs. White and his other daughter, Mrs. Alice Briggs, who also resides in Lewiston. Although he had been ill for a long time, death came suddenly. A. Forced by the condition of his health to resign his position as president pro tempore of the Senate at the beginning of the present special session of Congress, although he retained his membership in the senate, Senator Frye soon afterward made his last journey to the city which always had been his home. For several weeks his condition was not considered necessarily dangerous. Up to last week he rested in comparative comfort, spending much of his time in reading or in having some member of his family read to him. Last week the Senator's illness took a serious turn, but he soon rallied, and this week his physicians expressed the hope that he might recover. As late as 3.15 Tuesday afternoon he appeared to be in a comfortable condition. Shortly afterward it was seen that he was sinking rapidly, and at 3.55 he died. TO PROBE SPY STORY Austrian Embassy to Investigate Count Windisch-Graetz. Washington.—The Austrian Embassy, now in summer quarters at Bar Harbor, Me., has taken a hand in the identification of George Petr, alias Count Windisch-Graetz, the Fort Totten artilleryman, whom a young woman charges with being an Austrian spy. Taking notice of newspaper publications, the embassy informed the War Department that it would make inquiry in Austria whether any person of the Windisch-Graetz family had been absent from Austria long enough to cover the two terms of enlistment, which the military record show Petr is completing. Kidnapped Boy Found. Chicago.—Angelo Mareno, kidnapped by Black Hand blackmailers last Saturday, was found by the police at Gedwick and Oak streets, within a few blocks of his father's home, at 10 o'clock Thursday night. The boy was taken to the Chicago Avenue Police Station. SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, AUGUST 19, 1911. LEAH NOT, NE ILE E, MINR C TO COUNTRY MR. KALISPER NO. MORE MILK FOR THE HOPEES HAVE GONE TO THE COUNTRY MR. GROCER I HAVE GOING TO THE LONGS CORN AGAIN IS KING OF CORPS Department of Agricultural Issues Corn Report. GREAT SLUMPS INDICATED. Total Production of 2 620,221,400 Bushels Against 3,125,968,000 for Last Year--Oats Holds Second Place. Washington.—A tremendous decline in the condition of crops, general throughout the country and traceable to drouth and intense heat, occurred during the last month, as indicated by the monthly report of the Department of Agriculture. The report is the worst, as to general crops issued for any single month since 1901. The area most seriously affected extends from New York and Pennsylvania westward to the Rocky Mountains, embracing all of the great corn, wheat and hay producing States in the country. The estimates follow: Corn—Condition, 69.6 per cent. of a normal, compared with 80.1 per cent. on July 1; 79.3 per cent. on August 1, 1910, and 81.2 per cent. the average for the past ten years on that date; indicated yield per acre, 22.6 bushels, compared with 27.4 bushels, the 1910 final yield, and 27.1 bushels, the average for the last five years. Winter Wheat—Preliminary- returns indicate a total winter wheat yield of about 455,149,000 bushels, as compared with 464,044,000 bushels finally estimated last year, and 450,130,000 bushels, the average annual production in the past five years. The yield per acre is about 14.5 bushels compared with 15.8 bushels in 1910, and 15.5 bushels the average for the past five years. The quality is 92.0 per cent., against 92.6 per cent. last year. Spring Wheat—Condition, 59.8 per cent. of a normal, compared with 73.8 per cent. on July 1; 61.0 per cent. in 1910, and 82.3 per cent. the ten-year average. Indicated yield per acre, 10.1 bushels, compared with 11.7 bushels in 1910 and 13.5 bushels, the average for the last five years. All Wheat—Indicated yield per acre, 12.8 bushels, compared with 14.1 bushels in 1910, and 14.7 bushels the five-year average. Oats—Condition, 65.7 per cent. of a normal, compared with 68.8 per cent. on July 1; 81.5 per cent. in 1910, and 82.2 per cent. the ten-year average. Indicated yield per acre, 23.2 bushels, compared with 31.9 bushels in 1910, and 28.4 bushels the five-year average. The amount of oats remaining on farms until August 1 is estimated at 64,342,000 bushels, compared with 63,249,000 bushels on August 1, 1910, and 52,663,000 bushels the average amount on farms August 1 for the past five years. Ninety-six Miles an Hour Los Angeles.—According to a verification just completed by the Aeronautical Society, of California, Frank Champion, the local aviator, made what is declared to have been the fastest time in America in a cross-country flight last Friday, when he flew a distance of seven miles at a speed of 96 miles per hour. Champion used a racing monoplane purchased last winter from James Radley, the English aviator, and with the wind at his back flew from Dominguez field to Long Beach in less than five minutes. Tribune JOHN W. GATES DEAD Speculator and Financier Succumbs to Heart, Failure--Made Hard Fight for Life. Paris. — John W. Gates, the American financier, died at 5.10 Wednesday morning in the arms of his wife and his son, Charles G. Gates. The end was peaceful and it seemed as though he was falling asleep. The usual restoratives failed in the last crisis. Others present at the bedside besides the members of the family were Doctors Gros and Reeves. For a week past Mr. Gates had practically lived on oxygen, inhaled through a tube which was constantly fastened to his robe beneath his mouth. When the heart failed oxygen was administered more freely through a funnel from bags. In addition to this, caffeine, strychnine and oil of camphor were used to give artificial force, and the kidneys and body were frequently drained. A. H. JOHN W. GATES, Wealthy Stock Market Speculator. Genial, swashbuckling, warmly loved and fiercely hated; who never accepted defeat, gave and took hard blows and always laughed; who followed many courses in his indefatigable chase for wealth, made and lost many millions, but more often won than lost, John W. Gates lived to forgive and then attend the funerals of most of his enemies, and died a successful and wealthy man. Mr. Gates was a Westerner by birth and 60 years old. He grew up on an Illinois farm and received a good education, being graduated from the Northwestern College, Naperville, Ill. 93 DROWN IN SHIPWRECK French Steamer Emir Founders After Collision---Twenty-seven of Craw Rescued. Gibraltar.—The French steamer Emir foundered five miles east of Tarifa, Spain, in the Straits of Gibraltar. Ninety-three persons were drowned. The ship sailed from here at 3 o'clock Wednesday morning for a Moroccan port. An hour later, in a deuce fog, she collided with the British steamer Silverton, bound from Newport, England, for Taranto, Italy. The crew of the latter rescued 27 of the Emir's crew and passengers. The Silverton later put in here with her starboard bow stove in and her forepeak full of water. The Emir floated only a few minutes after the collision. Sixty-nine passengers and 24 of the crew went down with the ship. Those saved were 12 of the crew and 15 passengers. All the passengers were French. The Emir was a vessel of 1,291 tons and was owned at Marselles by the Compagnie De Navigation Mixte. U. S. Government Deciles Australian Reciprocal Proposal. Melbourne, Australia.—The United States government has declined the Australian proposal for a reciprocal two-cent postage arrangement. Josiah Thomas, postmaster general of the commonwealth, took the matter up with the postoffice authorities at Washington a month ago. The question of two-cent postage with the United States has been the subject of an agitation since the discontinuance of the mail service between Australian ports and San Francisco. Gen. Gordon'a Funeral Memphis; Tenn.—Services over the body of Gen. George W. Gordon, commander-In-chief of the United Confederate Veterans and member of Congress from the Tenth Tennessee district, who died Wednesday, were held Saturday. Burial was in this city at Elmwood Cemetery. All city departments were closed during the funeral and the fire bells tolled. DETAILS NEEDN'T BE PETTY High Purpose Consecrates and Transfigures All That Seems Trivial In Our Lives. There is freedom to be achieved from the pettiness of our lives. They never, perhaps, look so pitiful as when they seem made up of little necessary details. Our planting and reaping, building and buying, all the half mechanical operations that absorb our thought and time, seem sometimes little better than the bustle of a colony of ants. When we look down upon it all from the height of some quiet, meditative hour, are we not at times oppressed with a sense of its triviality and worthlessness? Trivial and worthless it is, except as amidst it all we are working out something higher. But to a man whose heart is set on sobler ends, one whose great aim is not to get his bread and butter, but to be a man—one who wants, not just to make a profit out of his neighbors, but to serve them and help them—these details are no more trivial or degrading than the rough dress and homely tools of the sculptor are unworthy of the marble beauty that is growing under his hands. The high purpose conservates and transfigures all; the want of purpose degrades all.—George S. Merriam. KEY TO KENSINGTON GARDENS Duke of Cambridge, Delighted With "Little White Bird," Sent It to J. M. Barrie. In connection with the Peter Pan statue, which Sir George Frampton has now completed for Kensington gardens to the order of J. M. Barrie, the story is revived of the key which was given to Mr. Barrie admitting him to the gardens at all times of the day and night. The story is, however, much prettier than would appear from the bald narrative in the papers. It was the late duke of Cambridge, I am told, who paid this notable compliment to the famous novelist. The duke, when he was park ranger, had been reading "The Little White Bird," and the book delighted him so much that he was prompted to send a flattering note to the author, at the same time inclosing a key to the gardens opposite Mr. Barrie's house in Lancaster gate. "It is only fitting," he wrote, "that the author of such a charming work should possess the key." The creator of Peter Pan showed his appreciation of the gift by using it freely in the summer evenings, when the great royal domain, haunted by memories of Matthew Arnold, was accessible to him alone among all the teeming millions of Londoners. M. A. P. WOMEN PLAYING BILLIARDS. Women are becoming more and more adept at billiards. A decade ago a woman billiard player was practically unheard of. Nowadays we frequently hear of them playing in the privacy of their own homes. And it will not be long before they will be playing public matches. It was only recently that the first step in this direction was taken when Mrs. Bertha May King and Miss Martha Clearwater played in New York for the first women's pool championship of the world. The match gave a decided impetus to the game, and those who know predict that the concert halls of the theaters will soon be the scenes of many similar pool and billiard matches. LOBSTER THREE FEET LONG. The Portland fishing steamer Carrie and Mildred a few days ago brought in a lobster from outside that was the largest taken off the Maine coast for a number of years. The crustacean weighed a strong seven pounds and was nearly three feet in length. The legs were nearly as large as the claws of an ordinary jobster, while the claws were huge affairs.—Kennebec Journal. TWO ACCQMPLISHMENTS. "Why do you call your yacht, the Water Hen?" "Because I can make it sail and lay to." NUMBER 48. LIFE CENTERS IN THE HOME Simplicity and Comfort is Invariable Rule Throughout Kingdom of Holland. Housekeeping in Holland means work without end. In the larger cities, where the customs of other lands are adopted to as considerable extent, home life is conducted on less strictly Dutch lines. But in the smaller towns and villages the housewife of today manages her home in much the same manner as her grandmother did. The continual scrubbing, rubbing and polishing is supposed to be the result of the easy access to such an abundant water supply. There is another reason, however, why floora, furniture and metal utensils must be constantly cleaned and polished. The climate being moist and damp, the housekeeper must exert herself in the effort to banish rust and mold. The Hollanders have very simple tastes in their foods. The housewife does not go to market. The market comes to her. The vegetable dealer with his cart (often drawn by dogs) comes to the door. He sells, not according to measure or weight but according to the number of persons to be fed. Milk is also brought in little carts to the house and fish is sold alive and killed and cleaned at the door. The Dutch are a simple and homely people. It is said the men are slow to pursue outside interests because they are made so comfortable at home. Their whole life centers there. Prosperity is displayed more in luxury of comfort than in ostentation and this is witnessed in the homes. A MISNOMER Bystander—They're having a pretty stormy meeting in there. What club is it? Policeman—Meeting of the Society for the Prevention of Unnecessary Noizes. SAVING INVALID'S NERVES. Silk, petticoats, starched wearables and creaking shoes should be avoided by the attendant in an invalid's room. Whispering is intensely irritating to a sick person, who naturally concludes that his symptoms are so bad that they have to be discussed in an undertone. Conversation between the nurse and visitor should be in a low tone of voice, but quite distinct. If there is anything to be said that the invalid must not hear, it had better be said in the hall, entirely out of his sight, earshot and imagination. A small table in the hall outside the sickroom, will be appreciated by the nurse and by whoever has to deliver and call for the invalid's food tray. ENGLISHWOMAN'S LOVE LETITER Bertie—I've been liaving a love- ly game with this post office set you gave me, auntie. I've-taken a real letter to every house in the road. Auntie—How nice! And where did you get all the letters? Bertie—Oh! I found a big bundle tied. up with pink ribbon in your desk—London Punch. THE REMINDER. "You forgot to get that silk for me?" she asks. "Why, I tied that strip of cloth around your finger this morning to remind you of it." The husband stares blazingly at the strip of cloth, and then says: "Well, I'll be jiggered! And here I've been trying all day to remember how I happened to hurt my fingers." The Farm BIRDS AND FARMERS. In a closely reasoned argument for the protection of birds, a writer in Chambers' Journal quotes the following evidence of the good they do in protecting fruit trees from insect pests: "Baron von Berlepsch makes the following statement: The Hainlide Wood, south of Eisenach, which covers several square miles, was stripped entirely bare in the spring of 1905 by larvae of a little moth. "The wood of Baron von Berlepsch, in which there had long been nesting boxes, of which there are now more than 2,000, was untouched. It actually stood out among the remaining woods like a green oasis. At a distance of a little more than a quarter of a mile farther the first traces of the plague were apparent, and at the same distance farther on still it was in full force. "It was a plain proof of the distance the tits and their companions had gone during the winter and after their breeding season. The case was so plain that Baron von Berlepsch considered it of sufficient importance to send a report to the Prussian board of agriculture in order that it might be placed on record. "Similar observations were made during a plague of Tortrix viridana, a small species of moth; last spring in the brown wood Harras, in the grand duchy of Hesse, where the protection of birds has been carried on in a sensible and energetic fashion for the last six years. "The abundant use of nesting boxes in the Prussian woods has, during the last two years, brought about a sensible decrease in cockchafers, and of Tortrix viridana in some places, by means of starlings. "If we turn from woods to agriculture and fruit growing, the experimental station at Sebach again affords an eloquent and well-authenticated testimony. The same good fruit crops has been obtained for many years in those places which have been longest and most abundantly provided with nesting boxes, and where most of the trees have grown up with the protection of birds. "Although the whole neighborhood frequently suffered from caterpillars, those trees inhabited by tits and other birds nesting in the boxes have escaped." CHEAP POULTRY ALWAYS DEAR. Buyers should remember that good stock will cost money; that cheap stock is dear in the long run. There is no breeder who has not thought upon the great increase in the price of grain and the cost of producing fowls ready for the shipping crate. One breeder who sends out hundreds of birds each year has found that it costs him about $3 a head to place his birds in the shipping coops. This included all expenses except advertising and correspondence. The expense of showing, printed matter, advertising, correspondence and feeding, together with housing and cooping for shipment, will make a lot of breeders think if they knew exactly what every bird sold cost them to sell. Only those who keep an accurate account of their receipts and expenditures know for what prices they can really afford to sell. In this day it costs good money to keep up a strain or flock to a high standard of excellence. Money and brains cannot be spared if any flock is to grow better each season. Nine times in ten the buyer who asks for a $2 bird does not know what. good birds are commanding, and expects as much for his money as the man who gives the breeder a carte blanche order for what he wants and then sends the money to pay for it. Utility stock once sold for $1 a head, but this was when feed was cheap and lumber cheaper than it is now. Prices today are higher for good. stock because good stock is worth it. The beginner should remember that the demand for good birds far exceeds the supply, and if the prices quoted to buyers are not accepted because they think the figures too high, they should remember before finally refusing to pay what is reasonable that some one else will get the birds. FATTENING AND MARKETING CHICKS. From a series of experiments in chick feeding, fattening and marketing conducted at the New York state college of agriculture and reported in a recent bulletin, Prof. J. E. Rice has drawn the following conclusions: Most of the chicks relished a change of ration. Variety ration chicks were satisfied with the food on which they were reared for the first six weeks. Drymash chicks showed highest mortality during the fattening period and were of poorest appearance. Mortality was comparatively low in all flocks during the period of fattening. Chicks reared on dry grain rations averaged greater gain per chick and at less cost per pound during the fattening period than the chicks reared on the wet mash and the variety rations. Chicks reared on the cracked grain ration made best gain per chick during the fattening period. The flock reared on cracked grain dry mash ration made best gain per flock during the six weeks of fattening. Chicks grew more rapidly when eating a larger proportion of ground food. The wet mash and variety ration flocks cost less per pound weight for the fattening period than those reared on the dry grain ration. Chicks reared on rations consisting altogether or in part of cracked grain and having no moist mash, gave better gain and at less cost per pound gain during the fattening period (their ration consisting at this time largely of a moist mash) than the chicks which had been reared on rations consisting altogether or in part of moist mash, but which were now eating a large proportion of their food as cracked grain. Chicks reared on rations consisting altogether or in part of moist food were ready-for market one or two weeks earlier than those reared on the dry grain ration. Squab broilers are not profitably marketed in September and early October. Dry picking of broilers by amateurs is too expensive as a market proposition. Broilers should be of proper size to meet the demands of summer and fall trade, which requires a dressed weight of three-fourths pound or of one and one-half pounds each, to be served whole in the former case as a squab broiler, or in halves in the latter instance.—Southern Planter, Richmond, Va. THE CODLING MOTH. Prof. Fabian Garcia, head of the horticultural department of the Agricultural college in New Mexico, is conducting an experiment of more than usual interest this year in his campaign against the codling moth, the bane of the apple grower in New Mexico. It has been demonstrated that the codling moth, unlike the other members of the moth family, is not attracted by light, and the question has arisen as to whether or not dight is repellent to the insect. It is a nocturnal worker, this having been proved time and time again. Prof. Garcia has set aside one corner of the experiment station orchard for this experiment, and has placed it in a number of high-power electric lights, which are kept burning all night. Complete data are being kept upon the experiment, and as soon as the crop matures the results will be announced. If it is shown that the use of artificial lights will keep off the moth, then the problem for the commercial apple grower is settled. HATCHING CHICKS. In testing the eggs you will find some that are from 12 to 24 hours behind the rest. These should be shifted to the part of tray having the highest temperature, so they may catch up with the rest or an uneven hatch will result. The more heat, the faster the embryo grows and the larger the air cell; so those eggs having the largest air cells should be shifted to the coolest part of the machine. Sometimes the air cell gets to one side of the egg, showing that the egg has not been turned often enough. The side having the most air cells, should be turned down, as gravity causes the heavy part of the egg to settle to the lower side. Best results are obtained, when the eggs are turned two or more times a day. Every one understands that to get a good hatch one must have good hatchable eggs which can only be produced by strong, healthy breeding stock.—Rural World. NEW USE FOR SUGAR BEETS. An entirely new use, and one that may in time become very important, has been discovered for sugar beets. This is the making of them into flour. This flour is now being manufactured in considerable quantities at Suresnes, in France, where an immense dryer has been built for the purpose. The first part of the process consists in chopping up the beets and drying the water out of them. They contain to start with 72 per cent. of water, nearly all of which is removed by evaporation. By this means 100 pounds of dry material is obtained from 357 pounds of beets. This dry material contains more than seventy per cent of sugar and therefore on being ground to a fine meal is exceedingly sweet and adapted to the making of cakes and puddings. The sugar beet flour is estimated to contain something like 82 per cent. of pure nutriment—Baker's Weekly. ANCIENT CEMENTS. It has been stated that the durability of the old cements—for instance, those of the Romans—is due to a low proportion of soluble silicates and a low lime content—under 50 per cent, and that most modern high-lime cements are deficient in resisting power when exposed to waters containing dissolved alkalis and sulphates. In America a company has begun the manufacture of a cement which it is claimed will resist alkalis and sulphates by virtue of a low-lime content and an excess of silica, using limestone, shale and blast furnace slag as raw materials. AID FOR LANE GENERAL BOARD OF EDUCATION MAKES GIFT TO NEGRO COLLEGE, WHICH WILL MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO COMPLY WITH CONDITIONS. 3 Jackson, Tenn.-At the close of the commencement exercises of Lane college, President J. F. Lane announced a conditional gift of $7,000 to Lane college by the general educational board of New York. It was not known then what the exact conditions upon which this money was given were; since that time the president has been informed. This donation is by far the largest one ever made to the college outside the C. M. E. church, and comes largely through the earnest efforts made by the president, ably supplemented by that of Dr. J. W. Gilbert, of Augusta, Ga. Regarding this matter, President Lane says: "Lane college greatly needs another boys' hall. The present dormitory for the boys accommodates less than one-half of the young men, and it is in behalf of this building that the gift from the general education board is made. To construct a hall in keeping with the other splendid buildings on the grounds, and one having a capacity to accommodate the school, will cost fully $20,000. Toward raising this amount the general education board contributes $7,000, leaving $13,000 to be raised by the trustees and friends of the college. This condition will be met promptly and the building will go up." The college has just closed a most successful season, and the trustees and friends are jubilant over the prospects for a new hall on the grounds, which has become in recent years a real necessity. SON OF FOUNDER OF HAMPTON INSTITUTE IS APPOINTED MIDSHIPMAN Washington.—Among the successful candidates for appointment as midshipman in the navy, who were designated by President Taft as candidates at large in the competition in which seventeen entered for the six vacancies, was Daniel Armstrong, son of the late General Armstrong, the Civil war veteran, who founded the Hampton Institute for Colored Men and the Indian school at Hampton, Va. Young Armstrong called at the White House just before President Taft left the city for Beverly, personally to thank him. By an interesting coincidence while the president was chatting with Midshipman Armstrong, Booker T. Washington entered the room and was delighted to be presented to the son of his former patron. It was to General Armstrong at Hampton that Booker Washington, just escaped from slavery, made his way barefooted, and from him he received the first encouragement. New York.—William H. Lewis, the assistant attorney general at Washington, and whose appointment to that office by President Taft created a profound stir in political circles over the country, has been named by President Taft to speak at the Negro National Educational congress, to be held in Denver, Colo. The assistant attorney general will attend the educational congress as a direct representative of the administration; and will speak on educational matters pertaining to the negro. The National Educational congress is one of the most representative and distinguished negro bodies in the country and at its annual sessions many vital and important questions pertaining to the educational uplift of the negro are discussed. Well-known educators like President R. R. Wright of the Georgia State college, Kelley Miller of Howard university, President Scarborough of Wilberforce, Prof. William H. Pichens of Talladega, and many others well known in education circles attend the sessions and talk on various educational methods and their relations to the youth of today. The selection of Denver by the educational congress as the meeting place was a wise one. Denver is considered an educational center and is situated in one of the most picturesque sections of the Golden West. A large delegation of prominent New Yorkers, interested in the educational work of the negro, will attend the congress. There are several prominent colored men and women in the metropolis who are noted educators and who could grace the meeting with much dignity and grace. The naming of Lewis as one of the speakers at the educational session will give the congress a national aspect, and give the visitors and delegates to the session an opportunity to see and hear the highest appointed negro official in the country. At the Republican club here a large number of friends of Lewis look upon his appointment as one of special significance and merit. WILLING TO WORK. Mr. Bullon—Huh! Want to marry my daughter, eh?

Golden Text.—"Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake."—Matt, 5:11. Jeremiah 37:21-21. Committ. V. 16. 589 - 598 to. 588 B. C. PLACE: al-raww. EXPOSITION—I. Jehovah's word to Jermiah concerning the temporary departure of the Chaldeans from Jerusalem, 4-10. Zedekiah has many followers who inquire what God's Word is, but do not follow it when they find it. Zedekiah and his people were deceiving themselves with false hopes (v. 9), but God's Word was sure and their hopes were valn (vs. 8, 10). Whatever temporary calamity might overtake the Chaldeans, their ultimate victory was sure, for God had predicted it (v. 10). It may have seemed impossible for the people to believe that a God of love would permit the city of his choice to be burned with fire, but in point of fact it was burned with fire. God's predictions of punishment upon the rebels are true no matter how impossible it may seem to us to reconcile them with the doctrine that God is love. II. Jeremiah cast into prison on a false charge, 11:21. Irizah had a longstanding grudge, inherited from his grandfather, against Jeremiah (v. 13; cf. ch. 28:1, 10, 15:17; 38:1-4). Irizah brought against Jeremiah the charge that he was going over to the enemy. No charge could possibly be more false, but it appeared plausible. There was never a truer patriot than Jeremiah (ch. 40:47). Jeremiah is not the only man who has been regarded as an enemy of his country because of his faithful denunciation of national sins and national doom (cf. Amos 7:10; Luke 23:2; Acts 6:11). The one who rebukes the sins of his people and foretells their coming judgment is not their enemy but their best friend. At an earlier date while the priests had been hostile to Jeremiah, the princes had been favorable (ch. 20:13, 26:11, 16), but now "the princes were wroth with Jeremiah and smote him and put him in prison," without even investigating the charge. This is the kind of treatment a faithful servant of God is to expect from men 12 Tim. 3:12; Matt. 23:34; 26:67, 68; Joan 15:20; Acts 5:28, 40; 2 Cor. 11:23-27; Heb. 11:36-38). This particular prison was a vile place that threatened the death of those cast there (v. 20 cf. 38:6, 26). Their real motive in casting Jeremiah there was not to punish a traitor but to satisfy their anger against one who had rebuked their sins (cf. John 7:7). Jeremiah's imprisonment was long (v. 16). He spent his time there in prayer (Lam. 3:55). The king himself sent and took Jeremiah out of prison. When the wicked get into trouble, they always want to consult with God's servants. But Zedekiah was not man enough to consult openly with Jeremiah (cf. 38:14-16, 24:27; cf. John 3:2). At heart Zedekiah recognized Jeremiah to be a prophet of the Lord. It was a good question that Zedekiah put to Jeremiah: "Is there any word from the Lord?" The man who is governed by fear of others will always do more evil than good. Jeremiah had a word from the Lord, but it was not the kind of a word that Zedekiah wished to hear (v. 17). When men hear some word from the Lord they do not relish, they always search for some other word to contradict it. The message that Jeremiah had was a message of doom and it took courage to deliver it (cf. 32:3-35, 38:14). Jeremiah did not himself relish the message (Lam. 3: 48, 49), but it was God's word and he delivered it without changing it to suit his own taste. Jeremiah's bearing toward the king was most humble and respectful, but at the same time fearless (vs. 18:20). The question that Jeremiah put to Zedekiah in verse 19 ought to have set him to thinking (cf. ch. 14:13-15; 28:15-17). A like doom awaits the false prophets of today say: "Peace, peace, when there is no peace," and "speak a vision of their own heart and not out of the mouth of the Lord," and promise to him "that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, no evil shall come upon you" (Jer. 23:16, 17). The issue had proven Jeremiah to be a true prophet, and the final issue will show those who prophesy doom upon the impenetent in face of all contradiction from the false prophets of today to be the true prophets. Jeremiah betrayed no distrust in God in petitioning the king for relief (cf. Acts 23:16-22; 25:10, 11; 28:18, 19). Jeremiah had not lost anything by his faithfulness. "I don't know what I'm ever going to make of that son of mine," complained a prominent Cleveland business man the other day, says the Plain Dealer. The old chap is self-made, a graduate of hard knocks and all that, and it naturally grieves him to have a son who is not aggressive. "Maybe your son hasn't found himself yet," we consoled. "Isn't he gifted in any way?" "Gifted? I should say he is. He can't given to him." NEGRO OFFICER UPLIFTS RACE GRACE CAMPBELL, SUCCESSFUL PROBATION APPOINTEE AT NEW YORK, DECLARES GIRLS DE- VELOPMENT AND RECLAMA- TION IS IMPOSSIBLE WITHOUT MENTAL TRAINING —WHITE OR BLACK ALL ARE HUMAN. Grace Campbell is her name, and at the criminal courts building she is known as one of the most succes- ful probation officers. She is the first and only one of her race, and she has attracted a great deal of attention by her work in the Tombs. "Miss Campbell is doing fine work here, and there isn't any one who won't respond to her sympathy. She is an ideal disciplinarian." This is Probation Officer D. E Kimball's tribute to her femfine co- worker. When I saw Miss Campbell at the National League for the Protection of Colored Women she explained how she had been drawn - to the work through her interest in kindergarten teaching in Chicago and Washington. Like her father and mother, Miss Campbell was a graduate of the Howard university, at Washington. Her father is a minister and was born in British West Indies. Her mother was a Washington woman, Miss Campbell has large, soft, brown eyes and a quantity of black hair. It is her eyes that make the most eloquent appeal, although her soft, well-modulated voice is almost as persuasive. "Do you think there is any difference in the attitude of the colored girl and the white girl, when you appeal to them to reform?" I inquired. "No," she replied, "I think human nature is the same, no matter what the color of the skin. I consider that mental deficiency is one of the greatest causes of crime in all races. I believe that there ought to be schools for the mentally deficient, where the nature of the defect might be studied, as well as the possibility of educating the delinquents in some work that would appeal to them and thus make useful citizens of them, instead of treating them as criminals and exposing them to further temptation in institutions. "The most stubborn cases, I find, respond to sympathy and the proper kind of discipline. Investigation shows that the colored girl is very often a victim of an employment agent who has lured her from her southern home with promises of plenty of work. The girl, flattered by these assurances, leaves her home with little or no money, few clothes and absolutely destitute of experience. She reaches the big city penniless, and has no place to go. Of course the lure of the north for southern colored woman is just the same for the southern white woman who hopes to obtain employment here. "But where there is protection for the white girl there is not so much for the negro. The National League for the Protection of Colored Women first of all tries to prevent the colored woman from coming north, but then if she has made the mistake and arrives here we try to find a place for her as soon as we possibly can. My work at the docks puts me in touch with many of these girls, for I am not at the court the whole day. "I know that the temptations of these innocent colored girls from rural districts are great. The lost address to a friend or a decent lodging house is one source of a girl's downfall. She must be properly sheltered the first night she arrives in the city, or perhaps an agent, seeking girls for purposes of which the victims are ignorant, come into possession of them and then follows the life of misery and disgrace. "The girls who find their way to the night courts are often the victims of these spurious employment agents If they can only be reached in time a few words will put them on the right road. We find proper lodgings for them and legitimate work is supplied by the league, which has associations in Philadelphia, New York, Memphis and Baltimore. The same good work is done in these other cities. "The majority of people forget that the colored race is not naturally vicious or shiftless, but that lack of proper training and the fact that they have been so long oppressed militates against their development."-Viola Justin in New York Daily Mall. LEGS BAR TO PEANUT SELLING BONHAM, TEXAS, MAKES DOUBLE AMPUTATION VENDING QUALIFICATION. Bonham, Texas.—The city council has just passed an ordinance providing that no one may sell peanuts on the street of Bonham until he has suffered the amputation of both legs. The purpose of the ordinance is to permit an aged negro, who has lost both legs to "freeze out" all able-bodied competitors in the nut-selling line. THE CACTUS, NOT THE VINE. "The clinging-type of girls is disappearing," she said. "Yes," he replied, "modern woman, with her numerous hatpits," is more like a cactus than a vine." EASY TO AVOID DIVORCE JUDICIAL EXPERT GIVES SAGE ADVICE TO HUSBANDS AND WIVES. Judge Petit of the Chicago divorce court who has just completed his annual six weeks' calendar, made up mostly of divorce suits, has come, to the conclusion that parents of young married people are largely to blame for family troubles. "The mothers-in-law are foremost trouble makers," said the judge. "I have all reverence for mothers and motherhood, but they must not argue with their daughter-in-law or son-in-law, but must realize that they are individuals and have their work to do in the world. Mothers can give advice when asked for it. "But summer resorts, winter resorts and flat life can be blamed for many divorces. It is bad for husband and wife to be separated by trips away from home." The judge then gave this advice to husbands: Don't quote mother. Call up your wife while at business and ask her how she is, and that you called her up just to hear her voice. Bring her a box of candy. One of the new books that she is interested in. A flower, even if it is faded and you have picked it up off the street. A pretty pln or handkerchief. And don't ever lay your head on your pill at night without having done something to gain and obtain a firmer hold on your wife's love. Kiss her every day. At least once a month meet her downtown and take her to dinner and the theater. Don't ever stop courting, for as soon as you do some other man will begin. Make your wife your companion. Take' her out with you and when you have to have a big time take your wife along, and the divorce evil will be lessened. For wives the judge advised: Don't quote father. Pet your husband; he is only a big kid. Dress as carefully as you did when he came courting. Wear the color he likes you in and the style of gown. Have something in the way of a surprise dish for dinner. Ecourage his hobby. Be sympathetic; and do not tell him all the trouble of the day; he has had his own, more significant any important individually, than all yours put together. Keep his clothes in order, a clean house and good food. Your husband is then yours forever and ever. No chorus girl or pretty stenographer can take him away from you. But keep him or somebody else will snap him up and make him think she and she alone ever did or will understand him. AN OLD-TIME HONEYMOON Some of the wedding reminiscences of the old man in the chimney corner—if there is a chimney corner, which is doubtful—are almost startling in their financial simplicity, at least when viewed from the modern cut glass and $60-8-month apartment point of view, says the Chicago Tribune. Get the old man to talk some time and find out how much his wedding journey cost him and how much capital he had on which to set up the business of housekeeping. Some of these reminiscences are almost unbelievable, they show such a simple confidence in providence and good luck and the ultimate working out of things for which no present provision could be made. Quite a typical honeymoon of alxy or seventy years ago was the prairie schooner voyage. Back in Indiana or Ohio or some other of the thickly settled communities the affair would start with two loving hearts and two strong and willing pairs of hands. The lovers would have an abounding faith in themselves and in the future. Otherwise the lovers' assets would include $9 in cash, a Sunday suit of clothes more or less homespun, a good constitution, and a father who stood ready to give' him upon the wedding day his parental blessing and a yoke of oxen and the wagon in which to go west and take up a homestead. The modern mother is not often to be found who could view such a stock and bondless venture'without forbodings. But the mothers of that day do not appear to have been appalled. "Mary is strong and willing," the mother would say, "I've taught her how to cook and sew and keep house, and if I do say it, she does me credit." The wedding ceremony that followed the understanding was simple in the extreme, most of it was homemade, costing little but loving work. Then the honeymoon followed out into the west, with no especial destination, no money for trousseaux and tips and bridal suits and furniture and flat rent. A little cabin somewhere was put up by the new husband himself upon a likely 150 acres, the latter the wedding present of the United States. Such courtships and weddings cost little beyond a great capital of courage. From them have come the men of today who think it necessary to bestow grand planes and European bridal voyages upon their sons and daughters before a wedding can be properly solemnized. CONDUCTING REVIVALS SOUTHERN PLOUGHMAN SCENTS DANGER IN HOLDING MEET- INGS AT CHURCH THAT LAST LATE INTO THE NIGHT. We have already suggested that the average night service during revivals is too long. This running the service to a very late hour makes the prejudice against night meetings all the greater. A line which we learned years ago comes to our mind just at this point, which will perhaps cover the ground of all we had intended to say. We think it comes from a noted author in hymn writing: "Temptation and danger walk forth with the night." There is a powdy and careless element among the young—and old, too, for that matter—especially in the communities where there is little or no law protection, who follow up all night gatherings for the express purpose of committing mischief. While the meeting is in progress, just a few yards away, concealed (?) from the view of the church officers, is a den of gamblers. If not that, the "blind tiger" is at its best, and one evil after another is committed right in sight and hearing of what is, or ought to be, the most sacred place on earth. While the church is not responsible for the vell, yet it is responsible for late services, which furnish a better opportunity for evil-doers to carry out their evil designs. There is another evil equally alarming, if not more so. People all the way from 15 to 30 years of age are in attendance at these night meetings, almost every night, but, as a rule, the children under 10 years of age are not there. Where are they? Certainly their fathers and mothers are there, and feel that they are duty-bound to be there. So they came and left the children at home exposed to danger and intrusion. How often we read of the father and mother going to church leaving the children locked up in the house, and sometimes it turns out that the house takes fire? But the horror of having a child burned to death will lightly compare with the regret of having one led astray while both father and mother are at church half the night for eight or ten nights in succession. But these are facts and conditions that will come under one's observation in almost every community. Another evil in conducting revivals is that of calling mourners to the bench to be prayed for, and when the poor mourners kneel a great crowd of sympathizers sometimes gather around them, however hot the weather or uncomfortable the position, to sing and yell over them for the sake of excitement. Then some brother will pray a long prayer for which, before he is through, he will ask the Lord to forgive him. We have known preachers to run revivals for the purpose principally of getting a good collection by the time the meeting is ready to come to an end. Think of the motive! Preachers sometimes run revivals simply to get a big membership in his church. It is not so much the saving of men as it is a great membership. The result is that a great number of members are taken into the church unsaved who will naturally prove a burden in the work and government of the church.—Southern Ploughman. MARBIAGE IN THE CONGO A wife in the Congo region coasts $10. This sum is paid to the parents of the girl or to the man who owns her as his slave. The girl seldom has any voice in the matter. Sometimes, however, the couple wishing to be married make their own bargain, and then this is an interesting business. The young man seeks to meet the darling of his dreams. But how and where are the questions that worry and puzzle him? Often he takes refuge in the home of the evangelist, and gets him to write a note for him. He then goes out, cuts a stick and splits it at the top, puts the letter in the split and hurries to get a carrier. When it is delivered we stands around to see how it is received. If it is favorably received a nice pot of food is cooked and sent to him. The parties are then considered engaged. A man can have as many wives as he can buy. I saw one man, a king, who had forty. The marriage feast is a ceremonious affair with the heathen. If the groom is wealthy-all of the drums, horns, bells, musicians and dancing masters are hired-to do the bride honor. All of the luxuries of the tropics, according to the native ideas, are in evidence at the feast. I have known them to have a hundred pots of food at a single wedding supper.—Southern Workman. SHE CAUGHT HIM. A girl, recently riding in a street car, was annoyed and made curious. Seated opposite her was a man afflicted with crossed eyes. The girl was pretty and knew it. She knew, too—or thought she knew—that all men on the car were looking at her. That is what annoyed her. She was in doubt as to whether the cross-eyed man's gaze was fastened on her. That is why she was curious. He may have been reading the advertisements over her head; he may have been looking at the conductor on the rear platform. To satisfy her curiosity the girl yawned. The act is as contagious as the measles. She found out the man was looking at her. For he yawned, too—New York Tribune. JAPANESE: DWARFING PROCESS In Japan the nursery trade divided into two great sections, one for the cultivation of plants for export, which are grown on the same principle as those in this country, and one for plants for home trade, which latter are of an entirely different class, says a returned nurseryman. The art of dwarfing plants is so little known in other lands that a short description of the process will not be out of place: A former nursery will offer to give A few examples will suffice to give a general idea. The successful Japanese nurseryman must not only be a good grower, but he must also be an artist, conversant with the general arts and customs of his country, which differ very materially from those of other countries. The pines may be considered the most important of all trees in Japan, and great care is taken of their cultivation and preservation. Some of the most popular ones are pinus densiflora, pinus passiflora and pinus thunbergii. They are generally grown from seed, and great care is taken to select the choicest qualities. In the spring of the second year, when the seedlings are about 8 inches in height, they are staked with bamboo canes and tied with rice straw, the plants being bent in different desirable shapes. The next autumn they are transplanted to a richer soil and well fertilized. In the following spring the plants are restaked and twisted and tied in fanciful forms. This mode of treatment is given until the seventh year, when the trees will have assumed fairly large proportions, the branches being trained in graceful forms, and the foliage like small clouds of dense green. The plants are now taken up and potted. Every succeeding year great care must be taken of new shoots, which must be kept pinched back. After another three years of this treatment the trees are virtually dwarfed, there being no visible growth after. Another important branch of Japanese nursery business is the dwarfing of bamboos, which is carried out in the following manner: Three weeks after bamboo shoots begin to grow, and when the trunks measure about 8 inches in circumference and 5 feet in height, the bark is removed, piece by piece, from the joint. After five weeks, when the plants get somewhat stout, bend and tie the stem zigzag after three months, when the side shoots grow strong enough, cut them all off, 5 or 6 inches from the main trunk; they are then dug up and potted in sand; care should be taken not to use any fertilizer, but plenty of water should be given. Cut off the large shoots every year, in May or June, and after three years the twigs, and leaves will present admirable yellow and green tints. Dwarfed thuyas are effected by means of grafting. WOMAN IN TROUSERS In Irishwoman, now the proprietress of forty fertile acres in Sussex, England, says in an interview for a Boston journal that she wears trousers when attending to her duties as an agriculturist and finds them much more suitable than skirts. In conservative England a woman without skirts probably attracts a good deal of attention and subjects herself to more or less invidious comment, but in some countries women in "pants" are uncriticised. If there is a race whose women are womanly it is the Japanese, yet Japanese women discard their kilonos when engaged in some forms of manual labor, donning trousers for the time being and returning to the kilonos at the end of the day's work. Taking the world over, quite a large proportion of women wear trousers habitually without bringing their dignity or discretion into question. The Chinese are certainly as decorous as any women in the world. Their demuriness is rather depressing to the westerner, accustomed to the more or less emancipated and confident woman of the occident. Their trousers neither make nor proclaim them "mannish." But custom is more inviolable than law and the pleneers who assail it orally or defy it by their actions incur penalties that are exacted automatically and without the delays that intervene between infractions of law and convictions of court. Trousers are certainly as modest as any kinds of skirts, even when there's not a breath of air stirring. Upon windy days there's no comparing the two kinds of neither garment. Notwithstanding these indisputable facts the point of view, and perhaps the lure of lingering from all points of view, will keep the women of the western world skirted to the end of time. Those who attempt revolution and trousers will find more comfort in their trousers than consolation in their progress as reformers. HOW SHE KNEW HIM. A Mr. Prim, who disappeared from Sedalia, Mo., twenty years ago, leaving a wife and many kinsmen to mourn his loss, suddenly reappeared on the scene of his early activities. He had changed greatly and relatives who met him debted his identity. Even his own son wasn't sure, although Mr. Prim insisted that he was the genuine article. Finally the man went home and, unannounced, started upstairs. His wife ran from her room, screaming the husband's name, and meeting him in joyful embrace, "How did you know it was me?" asked. Prim, after recovering his breath, "By the way you walked upstaire," said Mra. Prim. Colored Delegates Made Welcome by the Citizens of Natchez. YAZOO CITY NEXT YEAR DR. A. W. DUMAS MADE WELCOMING ADDRESS FOR COLORED CITIZENS OF NATCHEZ. Natchez, Miss.—The Mississippi Negro Business.league has just closed its seventh annual session, which will go down in history as the best session held. 'The good people of Natchez, both white and colored, left nothing undone to make every one feel welcome and at home. The officers and members of the local league, headed by Prof. S. H. C. Owens, the popular president of the Natchez college, had everything ready and in perfect order to give the delegates and visitors a swell time, and every one went away with words of praisor for Natchez and her good people, and wondering whether they will get such treatment another year in Yazoo City, Miss. Dr. A. W. Dumas, one of the leading colored doctors of the south, made the welcome address on the part of the citizens, and Prof. S. H. C. Owens on the part of the local league. Responses to the welcome address were made by Prof. L. J. Rowan of Alcorn and Rev. A. A. Casey, D. D., of Mound Bayou, Miss, and Dr. Walker, of Indiana, Miss. Mr. Banks then complimented the delegates and visitors and thanked Hon. Chas. Stewart and Hon. Horace Slater and Rev. John W. Cook for being present to publish the doings of the league. There were men and women of all walks in life present to do honor to the league, mingling one with another, the banker, the merchant, the lawyer, the doctor, the preacher, the editor and the plain old farmer, which made a great crowd of leading citizens and business men. The many speeches and addresses that were made gave new life to the negro business man and woman, and by the popularity and high esteem in which Hon. John L. Webb is held by the members of the league, they accepted an invitation to go to Yazoo City, Miss., in 1912, where Mr. Webb promised a real nice time and where every one will be treated nice and made comfortable. DR. JACKSON MAKES DISCOVERY ATTRACTING ATTENTION IN MEDICAL CIRCLES BY DECLARING HE HAS CURE FOR RHEUATISM—NEW YORK MEDICAL JOURNAL COMMENTS ON NEGRO SURGEON'S FINDINGS. Philadelphia, Pa.—Dr. Algernon B. Jackson, the well-known surgeon of this city and head of the Mercy Hospital, is attracting attention in medical circles by announcing that he has discovered a cure for acute articular rheumatism, and in the current number of the New York Medical Journal tells of his experiments and findings. Dr. Jackson refers in his article to five cases which turned out satisfactorily under his method of treatment. In commenting on Dr. Jackson's discovery the New York Medical Journal says in part: "There are few young practitioners who have not had the chagrin of imagining, at one time or another, that they had accomplished a cure in some long-standing case by the exhibition of some recent and well-advertised remedy, only to see their patients stink back into their former, condition after a few days or weeks. The treatment, however, of rheumatic fever described in the issue of the Journal by Dr. Algernon Brasher Jackson, and for which he is careful not to claim too much, has nothing mysterious or magical in its nature. Our readers will join us in the hope that the hypodermic administration of magnesium sulphate will prove in this wretched disease, if not a specific, at least sufficiently analytic and eliminant to give comfort to thousands. In speaking of his discovery Dr-Jackson says that his article in the Medical Journal is a preliminary report and that he hopes in the near future to present to the public a more careful study of his method for curing rheumatism. QUOTATION FROM THACKERAY. This is from "The Newcomes," when Ethel and Clive, separated by his marriage and other things, happen to be in the same hall, when Barnes is lecturing: "Of course she, knew that Clive was present. She was aware of him as she entered the hall; saw him at the very first moment; saw nothing but him. I dare say, though her eyes were shut and her head was turned now toward her mother, and now bent down on her little niece's golden curls. And the past and its dear histories, and youth and its hopes, and passions and tones and looks, forever echoing in the heart, and present in the memory—these, no doubt, poor Clive saw and heard as he looked across the great gulf of time, and parting his grief, and beheld the woman, he loved for many years."

Within the past three or four days hundreds of persons have left the city for the mountains, the seashores and other places of interest. The excursion rates this summer have been very reasonable, thus affording an opportunity for persons of moderate means the benefit of travel and recreation. Every person needs a renewal of vitality after long periods of close application to the regular routine of work and there is no better way to attain it than by embracing these opportunities to acquaint oneself with new scenes and surroundings. Travel, aside from being a source of physical benefit to those who have been going a steady grind the year round, is a means of education, and we are pleased to note that these excursions which have been so reasonable have been largely patronized. There never was a more flendish or brutal demonstration of mob violence than that which took place in Coatesville, Pa., Monday when a mob of whites took a Negro murderer from the hospital where he lay desperately wounded by his own hand, and burned him, bound to his cot, in a bonfire and later gathering the charred remains placed them in a soap box with the following inscription scrawled upon it: "To be claimed by relatives." Has a more cowardly crime ever been committed in the history of our country north or south? Has there ever been a thing which would cause the white man to feel more shame for his race than this cowardly deed which snatched away the life of a defenseless human being? The country will look on with bated breath to see what steps Pennsylvania will take to punish the perpetrators of this crime which has placed a blot on her history never to be erased. The recent report of Supt. Ashmore of the public schools to the Board of Education was a very interesting document, especially that portion concerning the colored schools. The fact that the number of colored children in the public schools remains practically the same is by no means strange in as much as the school facilities have remained exactly the same for years. It is impossible to crowd more children into the rooms when every available seat is already occupied, sometimes three in a seat. The slight falling off in the number of children in the country schools might indicate a slow movement of Negroes to the city and this too would not be at all strange when it is remembered that the school accommodations there are even worse than in the city. Yet, it is hard to see by the report where these children are provided for, but they are, of course, included in the hundreds that are turned away every year when application is made for admission at the opening of the school year. It is a pity that the Board of Education has not seen its way clear to enlarge the school facilities for the Negro children of the city and county. Another fact noted is the statement that the applicants for places as teachers in colored schools have deteriorated, and that not as many of them pass the teachers' examination as white. This should not be strange either, as most of the applicants have had no further training than the grammar schools afford, while the whites have had the advantage of high school training. The colored teachers who are best fitted for the work have received their training elsewhere, because grammar school training will not properly fit them for the required work, and yet that is all that is afforded them by the city. We agree with Supt. Ashmore that some arrangements should be made for a more thorough training for teachers of the colored schools. A year ago last night a few of our energetic, enterprising young men got together and after a little deliberation decided that they would band together their energies and means, though limited were the latter, and launch out into some sort of business enterprise. They looked the field of opportunities over and after carefully scrutinizing them decided that they would cast their lot in providing a place of wholesome enjoyment to the thousands of their fellow citizens who were pining for some sort of resort where they might take their wives and mothers, sons and daughters without having them surrounded by immoral influences. Therefore, during the early days of last spring these young men began to put into execution the plans they had so well and long thought out and the name of Woodlawn Park began to be whispered about the city. As is the case in the early beginning of every Negro enterprise, a large majority of those who heard of this new venture looked at it with an eye of suspicion, even going so far as to make chronological predictions as to the length of life of the new park, while a few sought to encourage the young men in their endeavors and commend them for the admirable start they had made. The eyes of the town were focused upon these young men, but they faltered not. Piece by piece they added to the comforts of their park and with each succeeding week the clouds of suspicion and disfavor began to roll away, until finally the praises of Woodlawn Park were to be heard on every side and not a discordant note was raised. The good people, the law-abiding, the quiet, church going element saw in this park the chance to grasp an opportunity for which they were long waiting and they embraced it with a vim, and now Woodlawn Park is a fixture among the pleasure resorts of the city and the young men who are farthering this park are to be congratulated. Last night being an open date the management decided to celebrate the anniversary of the park by inviting their friends out to join them in making merry over their success so far. A signal success is this which these young men have scored by running their park in such an atmosphere of cleanliness and in keeping it so free from those influences for bad which are to be found in other places of amusement for our people. We congratulate these young men for what they have accomplished and should be pleased to see others follow their example by putting their efforts and means together in the accomplishment of something which would prove of some benefit to the community. Opportunities for "making good" in the business world are going begging for the want of more young men like these and if only this could be sufficiently impressed upon the many young men of ability we have, our city would be abreast with other towns where Negroes are forging to the front. Odd-Fellows Grand Lodge In Stormy Session at Augusta. District Grand Lodge No. 18 of Georgia, G. U. O. of F., held its biennial Session in Augusta, Ga., last week. On Monday delegates from all parts of the state began to pour into the city and the outlook pointed to a harmonious session and that satisfactory legislation would be done for the good of the order. But instead of a harmonious and business-like session it proved to be the most stormy one in the history of the order. The administration forces were well lined up and every proposition placed before the house by them, whether favorably taken or not was placed upon the "new pattern rollers" manufactured somewhere in the upper part of the state and rolled in so become a law while many of the delegates stood howling for recognition. To gain the floor to speak in opposition to any measure presented by them was one of impossibility. The captain had his soldiers well drilled and whenever a brother was recognized by the chair you could depend in by the chair you could depend under discussion. The deck was well packed and cold hands were dealt out to the delegates as of never before. Another bad feature of the occasion was the displacement and mistreatment of Mrs. R. L. Barnes now Fast Most Noble Governor of the District Grand Household. The part taken by some of the District Grand Lodge officers in not recognizing Mrs. Barnes as District Most Noble Governor, thereby making her ineligible to preside at this session was met with indignation by both male and female delegates of the order and caused much dissatisfaction among the inmates of the Household who hold Mrs. Barnes in high esteem and who showed by the stand they took that they regretted to part with her as their leader, who for fourteen years with uniring efforts succeeded in placing the Household of Georgia foremost among fraternal female organizations. As a whole the session was everything but harmonious and satisfactory and over two-thirds of the delegates in attendance departed for their homes much displeased and disgruntled. The ladies all over the state, but especially in Savannah are elated over the election of Mrs. R. Ethel Wright and the displacement of Madam Dennis. Savannah Ga.Aug', 17, 1911. I wish to thank the friends and well wishers in my city and throughout the State most heartily for the manner in which you have so loyally supported me. I assure you from my heart that I never feel so happy as when I see myself surrounded by my friends. In the battle of life which we are all compelled to fight, it becomes necessary to halt occasionally, stop by the wayside, and refresh. This brief snatching of pleasure at its best makes us all feel that there is something worth living for, and that life without friends would indeed be a disgall blank. I again thank you for your gracious good fellowship, and promise you that no effort shall be wanting on my part that will enable you to regret' your actions. Again, again and yet again, I thank you. tinue to Come In. The murderers of Mr. J. H. Turner, the prosperous Negro restaurant proprietor and automobile hackman, who was murdered near Monteith Monday night three weeks ago, are still at large and no new information of their whereabouts has been learned as yet. The authorities have followed every possible clue that would lead to the apprehension of the guilty parties but all of them have proven fruitless. The long start which the murderers had upon the authorities before the latter were aware of just what fate had befallen Mr. Turner has stood the murderers in good stead and they have taken advantage of it so far too keep beyond the clutches of the law. Subscriptions to the reward fund are still coming in and all classes of citizens of both races are showing their appreciation of Mr. Turner's respectability by grasping the opportunity to contribute to this fund, which already has reached a large amount.

She was a member of the Household of Ruth and Court of Calanthe. Mrs. Reed is survived by a son, Mr. Floyd Reed, a sister, Mrs. Viola Williams and other relatives to mourn her death. The funeral of Mr. Hamilton White head whose death occurred on Tuesday last took place yesterday afternoon from his late residence 548 E. Huntingdon street. The Eureka Club of which he was a member turned out in a body. He leaves a wife Mrs. Eliza Whitehead and other relatives to mourn his death Pekin Dots. In spite of the warm weather the patronage at the Pekin continues to be very flattering, particularly on Monday night. And to show his appreciation, Manager Styles not only endeavors to present a pleasing program but changes the bill twice a week, Monday and Thursday nights. The show is always preceded by excellent motion pictures that are both cunning and instructive. The bill opens this week with a Western play in two acts. Slick Wilson as Mexican Joe, the villain, was real good. The mauvieu between the acts is very entertaining and some bright and catchy songs are well rendered. Green, Pugh and Green, a clever trio, opened their third week at the Pekin and are going big. Green is a clever straight man and has a real good voice this week the trio is featuring with much success "We got your number." Smith, Levi and Smith another trio that has been here several weeks, are still making good. They are putting on a very laughable sketch this week that keeps the audience in an uproar. Stage manager Wilson sprung a surprise on the patrons this week by introducing an exceptionally clever child soubrette in the person of little Celeste. She is singing very sweetly "Stop, Stop, Stop" and comes back strong with a buck dance in which some of the steps she executes are not only original and difficult but call for loud applause. Lee and Lee, who made themselves popular here are playing a return engagement, were given quite a reception by the audience on their opening nights. They are featuring "I want you to he my honey love." Next week manager styles will present his patrons with an all star bill. An entire new company has been booked. The following will appear: Muriel Ringgold high class comedienne just from New York, Hester Kenton and old favorite. Ward and Smith a team of classy artist direct from Chicago.

Paris Dress SHIRTS FLAXON LAWNS APRON CHECKS Men's and Women's HOSIERY Men and Women FURNISHINGS A warm neglige of outing flannel or elderdown should be provided, for nights in camp are cold. Many women habitually wear pajamas of outing flannel while in camp. In contrast with the picturesque and informal togs of the camper is the correct and conventional garb of the woman who delights in horseback exercise. While summer riding habits are much less formal in style than those deemed correct for park wear in town, the riding habit must always have a suggestion of conventionality. It is amusing to read about the riding habits worn in the early part of the nineteenth century—not so long ago, when one comes to think of it. A lady of the 50's swept down the steps toward her steed habited in a trailing gown of bright green cloth, probably embroidered on bodice and skirt and jauntily trimmed with frogs of black cord. The skirt of this green habit was attached to a pointed basque by means of multitudinous gathers. On the lady's elaborate chignon, confined for the exercise under a bead-embroidered net, was perched a tall-heaver hat from which floated several yards of white velling. What a contrast between this costume and the trim, correct habit of the feminine rider today, who wears a most simple but perfectly cut and tailored coat and skirt, guiltless of any trimming, a enug, smooth colfure, above which is a smart little derby or a mannish straw sailor! Summer riding habits of gray linen crash, with white sailor hats and white buckskin gloves, are particularly attractive and appropriate for country wear. The linen habits also are liked for out-of-town riding, and the skirt is cut so that when the rider stands it is merely a smartly-shaped walking model. In the country the coat of the riding habit may be dispensed with on very warm days, but the shirtwalst must be faultlessly mannish in every detail. No such thing as a boned stock, fluffy jabot or elbow sleeve is permitted. A correct habit for cross saddle riding is illustrated. More and more women are adopting this style of riding, especially in the country, but special care must be given to the cross-saddle habit in order that it may be absolutely correct and not approach the blazer in any particular. The habit pictured includes a stunning coat of checked worsted which falls just over the tops of the leather puttees or riding leggins. Beneath the coat are riding breeches as faultlessly shaped and tailored as the coat, and which buckle over the knee above the leather puttees. The skirt is of thin white silk with a madras stock at the throat. The gloves are heavy white buckskin and the hat is a new mannish sailor of black straw. After all, there is nothing like a sailor for summer wear. Each season the sailor crops out again, sometimes in one shape and sometimes in another, but always our old friend, the sailor. This year simple, mannish sailors with rather wide brims and a moderately high crown are the approved style, and these hats come, as usual, in all grades from less than a dollar up to seven or eight. The woman who buys a sailor at all should buy a good one, for though all sailor shapes may seem much alike at the beginning of the season, it is only the high-priced models that are distinctive and correct looking as soon as the sailor begins to appear on every other woman one meets. Women, as a rule, do not take trouble in selecting a sailor hat to see that it is properly fitted to the head—and absurd and distressing, too, are some of the resulting effects. The woman between thirty and forty may wear a sailor of good quality provided every detail of her costume is tailored, trim and in keeping with the mannish style of headgear. The colfure, too, must match the sailor. SUMMER HANDBAGS. In handbags the tendency is still toward medium sizes, with a decided preference for the thin or flat models. Bags of greater width than depth, made over plain metal frames, are types well liked. Washbags are made of plique, linen and similar materials. Those of linen stamped for embroidering are shown in innumerable varieties and in artistic arts and crafts designs. They are easy to work, take little time and are decidedly practical. A bag of natural color linen crash, embroidered in dull green and red, has a handle formed of an excellent quality cord, which continues down the sides of the bag, providing an excellent finish. Another of white linen crash was in the form of a pocket with a buttoned-over flap, and embroidered in vivid Bulgaran colors, and had a pretty braided cord handle. The same could be made in all white embroidery. The old-fashioned garden bouquet in gayest colors on a simple linen bag and done in cross-stitch marks the revival of an ancient idea in design and of a stitch that for many years has been considered more or less of the past. The cream color of the linen, background lends, an old-time softened effect to work which might otherwise be too gay in color. Reds, blues and yellows melt into the creamy tunes as they would not upon white. The card handle in itself is fascinating in its durability, being hand twisted and knotted from many strands of coarse ravelings pulled from the material like the bag. A very pretty bag was crocheted from a coarse white silk and lined with white silk, tiny crocheted balls being attached to the ends of the crocheted cord handle: The smart Persian bags, so popular this season, can be fashioned by the skilful girl. The foundation is composed of gold satin, on which is embroidered an elaborate pattern, thickly covered with tiny beads and colored silks, which should match or contrast well with the color of one's gown. The lower edge of the bag should be finished with a row of bead tassels, combining all the different colors of the silk, and the bag suspended from the shoulder by long, thick cords. Dainty bags on the small order are made of wide pompadour ribbon, with a small handle made from several strings of white or colored beads. A PLEA FOR CHILDREN. In selecting a flat or an apartment, where a limited amount of money can be expended for rent, and where children must enter into the consideration, it is well to remember that some conveniences can be sacrificed in order to live near a park or a playground. Young muscles must stretch themselves, otherwise they become cramped and the effervescent child nature is driven inward instead of expanding, as it should, in open air and activity. Sometimes it is necessary to live farther out of town than comfort allows in order to secure this necessity to the child. Often the little modern housewife must give place to the playground, but no good mother considers the sacrifice too great when she looks at the tanned, healthy face and well developed body of the child who is allowed the normal pleasures of childhood. Work may be calling insistently in the home, but try to close your ears to the call and listen instead to the plea of your sturdy son or your tiny daughter with roses in her cheeks. Take them for a play hour in the park or at the playground. Such innocent recreation is food for the childish mind and body. There will be less cause for the doctor's phials every time they play safely and sanely in the open air. DAINTY BREAKFAST CAPS. The dainty breakfast cap has certainly come back into fashion for a long stay, judging from its popularity and from the variety of styles in which it is made. There are those of mob cap shape made of tlin silk or flowered ribbon, with the lace or footing frills, and those of sheer batiste, allover lace or dotted nets made in the same shape, with big rosettes of ribbon at the sides. The latest fad is to use lace handkerchiefs, line them with delicate colored silks and use artificial silk roses at the sides in place of the ribbon rosettes. If the handkerchief happens to be square the corners are caught up over the shirring or looped under while the round handkerchief's lace frill is kept up by a frill of plain footing. Some of the caps have just a wreath of single French roses caught to the shirring with a little bunch at either side. VEAL LOAF. This is a specially savory dish for picnics or lawn teas. Mince three pounds of raw, lean veal and a quarter pound of nice fat pork. Season the meat with half an onion grated fine, a level tablespoonful of mixed powdered thyme, summer savory and sweet marjaram, a tablespoonful of salt, a half teaspoonful of pepper and a tablespoonful of minced parsley. Now add two-thirds of a cup of cracker crumbs, a half cup of veal gravy, the yolk of one egg and the whites of two eggs beaten together. Form into a compact loaf, roll in the yolks of two eggs, then in fine slitted crumbs, set on a rack in the pan and begin the baking. As soon as it begins to brown pour a cup of boiling water, in the pan and baste often. Bake about two hours and when cold, slice thin. THE WELL GROOMED WOMAN. Never to put away clothes unbrushed or unfolded nor forget to place the trees in boots and shoes when taken off; to pull and straighten out gloves; to roll veils carefully; never to sit about in a walking dress indoors; to keep gowns and hats, when not in use, away from strong sunlight, are only a part of the general scheme of economy practiced by the French woman in every walk of life. She is nothing if not feminine, and if her clothes should ever escape all that is trim and dalty, then her costume falls wide of her intention. Underneath it all there may be a "method in the madness," for every centime is made to go as far as human means will compass. Clothes are looked upon as investments, the interest of which will have to pay as long as possible and the principal to be literally turned over and over until there is absolutely nothing left. HONEYMOON IS OF COMPARATIVE- LY RECENT DATE AND WAS DEVELOPED BY TRAVEL FACILITIES. Every nation appears to have had its own assortment of bridal beliefs and superstitions, and if full investigation were made it would readily develop that all the present, customs of marriage, down to the habit worn, the flowers, the form, etc., were derived from these beliefs, most of which have been discarded as ridiculous in their esoteric meaning, says the Pittsburg Leader. The ancient Greeks held that should a crow be seen at any time during the wedding feast, which was always celebrated in the open, divorce would result unless all the women present arose and with one accord shouted "Go away, crow!" Thus the white dove, by its antithesis of the raven, came to be the bird of nuptials. In Thuringia, from a period that runs back into the pagan, an almond or other nut has been placed in the soup for the wedding feast. The person who found this nut in his or her plate would marry within the year, it was held. In many bucolic countries, even now, it is held that no widow or widower must be permitted at the bridal festival unless there be also present an old maid or bachelor to counteract the ill influence of the former. The belief is that widows and widowers denote early separation by death. The belief appears to be common in England and America that a bride who chances to eat pickles at the bridal meal is doomed to unrequited love. One of the old beliefs is that at the wedding meal everything must be passed to the right. There is even an historic anecdote to show how this little superstition, which has long since made itself a custom, influenced manners. Henry of Navarre, when he found his great minister, Sully, in a dilemma of love, sald to him half in fun: "If you wish a good wife, turn to the right." Sully entered the chamber door at the right of the' corridor where he and his monarch had been walking and found there the young woman Henry had chosen for him. History is so little sentimental as not to record the outcome, past the fact that they married. How and where these singular beliefs originated is a study of limitless complexities, yet authorities have been able, so far as many of the common American superstitions are concerned, to trace them to the places or districts where they appear to have originated, since they are there most in vogue. For instance, "three times a bridesmaid, never a bride," is ascribed to New England. "If you try on your wedding gown before the ceremony, you will never be happy," came from Massachusetts. "The bride should wear a borrowed garter and also a yellow garter," appears to have been born in Boston. From Alabama came the saying that it is bad luck for the bride to keep any of the pins used in her bridal dress. You will be unhappy if you lose your wedding ring, is common to all parts of the United States. The old couplet, Marry in Lent, Live to repent, is said to have originated in New York. "Happy the bride the sun shines on," is ascribed to northern Ohio. Talladega, Ala., has the same idea incorporated into "If it rains on the wedding the bride will weep all her married life." And Peabody, Mass., has the same superstition, "To marry in a storm betokens a stormy married life. Omaha, Neb., appears to have had time to discover that "The pair to be married should stand in line with the cracks of the floor and never at right angles to them." "A bride must step over the sill of the church with her right foot," say the wise-acres of Orange county, N. Y. Generally in Massachusetts it is held that a double wedding is unfortunate, since one of the pairs certainly will be unhappy. Naive parents of New York state long since discovered that runaway matches are certain to prove unlucky. Do not, in the name of all the happiness ye toast, tell a living soul where you're going on your honeymoon. This may be a hard prescription to observe since railroad tickets must be bought and baggage shipped, but do your best. To tell where you shall honeymoon is to court unhappiness—and may we add, practical jokes, And you, blythe wedding jokers, kindly observe that it is the best of omens and signs to tie the bride's trunk with a white ribbon. Be advised, however, that to get the trunks mixed and affix such a decoration to the baggage of the groom will court certain disaster. (Especially if the groom have a temper.) Be advised, anon, brides, that the truly lucky color for the traveling gown is gray. Brown isn't so bad, but gray is the thing worth a bride's happiness. But—shudder with fear—under no circumstances, real or faneced, permit another bridal party to get on the same train with you. Disaster is certain. The train may even be wrecked, a fault which all trains have in common. And now, having reached this interior point on the journey in quest of the reason for waning honeymoons, let us pause to determine, ere we reach the goal, just what, why and whence is this-honeymoon. If you will read back over the superstitions quoted you will notice that, while those referring to the bridal are old and gray as the world, those dealing with the honeymoon speak of such modern conveniences as trunks, trains, traveling gowns, etc. The deduction is that the honeymoon is a modern institution, and this appears to be the case. As recently as the reign of Queen Elizabeth the honeymoon was practically unknown. It was not the custom for the bride and groom to go on a journey, nor even to seclude themselves from friends and callers for any period such as now has come to be custom. In those halcyon days the guests, even at the marriages of the high nobility, were told that the new pair would be home and receiving within two or three days. This little period of seclusion was then only beginning to be observed and it may be looked upon as the dim beginning of the honeymoon. The season of spooning and mooning alone is thus an outgrowth of modern travel facilities. Not only is it easy to get away for a visit, but it is generally felt that the new wife ought to have a season of preparing her home before friends obtrude their attentions. But, comparatively new as is the honeymoon, it has spread to most nations. In parts of England it is called "treacle moon." The French have their lune de miel (moon of honey) and the Germans their "hockezitsrese," or bridal tour. They have been too deferential to taste to literalize honeymoon into Hongmond. "IF I ONLY HAD THE TIME" Some boys will pick up a good education in the odds and ends of time which others carelessly throw away, as one saves a fortune by small economies which others disdain to practice. What young man is too busy to get an hour a day for self-improvement? On this subject Success Magazine says: You will never "find" time for anything. If you want time, you must take it. If a genius like Gladstone carried through life a little book in his pocket lest an unexpected moment should slip from his grasp, what should we, of common abilities, resort to to save the precious moments from oblivion? "Nothing is worse for those who have business than the visits of those who have none," was the motto of a Scottish editor. Drive the minutes or they will drive you. Success in life is what Garfield called a question of "margins." Tell me how a young man uses the little ragged edges of time while waiting for meals or tardy appointments after his day's work is done, or evenings—what opportunity—and I will tell you what that man's success will be. One can usually tell by his manner, the direction of the wrinkles in his forehead or the expression of his eyes, whether he has been in the habit of using his time to good advantage or not. "The most valuable of all possessions is time; life itself is measured by it." The man who loses no time doubles his life. Wasting time is wasting life. Some squander time, some invest it, some kill it. That precious half-hour a day which many of us throw away, rightly used, would save us from the ignorance which mortifies us, the narrowness and pettiness which always attend exclusive application to our callings. Four things come not back—the spoken word, the speed arrow, the past life, and the neglected opportunity. Never shun small responsibilities. The small duties are the links making the chain. Never lose your self-respect. Character is the foundation on which all good work is built. Never refuse advice. Take all men's opinions, and season them with your judgment. Never quit when failure stares you in the face. A little more energy often changes a failure into a great success. Never hesitate to give a man the benefit of the doubt. Remember, to err is human. Never shrink from work. If you must envy any one let it be a man who has more and not less responsibility than you. PERISH THE THOUGHT. Sir Oliver Lodge, the famous medical scientist, learned to play golf at St. Andrews some thirty years ago. His teacher was, Prof. Tait. "You don't play golf with your muscles," Prof. Tait said to him one day; "you play with your morals." "But I hope," said Sir Oliver, with a hasty glance round, "that no one will consider my morals as bad as my golf."—Vanity Fair. PERFECTLY SAFE. A little boy on a ship was standing on deck when the sea was quite rough. "Are, you not afraid?" some one said to him. "Oh, no," he answered. "I've been vaccinated and baptized both."—Ram's Horn. THE SUPERIOR ETHIOPIAN New Discoveries In Art Show the Ethiopians to. Be Far Superior to. Latter-Day Egyptians. The gem of the exhibition at Burlington House of the antiquities discovered by Professor Gargang during his last winter's work at Meroe, according to the excavator, is a bronze head which he regards as representing Germanicus. It is twice the size of life, and furnished with eyes of alubaster, with inlaid pupils and iris of colored glass, and eyelashes of bronze. The strong lines of the face and the small but projecting ears show much character; but there seems little reason for its attribution to Germanicus, the passage in Tacitus on which Professor Gargang relied merely stating that Germanicus went on a tour in Egypt to see the antiquities and sailed up the Nile as far as Assuad. That he ever made his way above the cataracts there is no evidence; and Strabo, who probably wrote in the lifetime of Germanicus, speaks of the Roman garrison of three cohorts, "and those not complete," being stationed only at Assuan or Syene, where they formed a sufficient guard to the upper country. It is therefore unlikely that Germanicus as a mere tourist, travelling, as Tacitus tells us, without the permission of Tiberius, should have penetrated to the city of the Ethiopians at all, still more so that he should have appeared to them so important a personage as to deserve a statue. It is more likely that the head formed part of the plunder obtained by the Ethiopians when they raided Syene in the time of Augustus "and threw down the statues of Caesar." Most of the iconic statues of that time had detachable heads, and this one might easily have been taken away by them as a fetish, and as such hidden from the punitive expedition of Petronius. The other exhibits, when taken with those of last year, afford a clear idea of the scope and nature of Ethiopian art, which it is now plain must have been largely indigenous, and owed less than was supposed to Egyptian influence. The pottery here shown is of a ware perfectly different from anything in Egypt, and it is notable that all the larger vessels are evidently modeled from gourds and other vegetable forms, instead of, as in the earlier Egyptian types, from baskets and ivories. Their construction displays high technical skill, and a young negro's head in sandstone, if it is indeed of native work, shows that the Ethiopians were in sculpture far superior to the Egyptians of any but the earliest dynasties. Some neolithic implements, axes, and the like, of polished stone, show too that their civilization was of considerable antiquity, and some beautifully shaped arrow heads either of glass or translucent stones, are longer, narrower and more delicate than any yet found in Egypt. Nevertheless the Ethiopians must have looked toward Egypt from a very early date, and there are in the present exhibition a cylinder seal of protodynastic pattern, scarabs and jewels of Amenhotep III., and Queen Thyli, and a large figure of the god Bes, of typically Egyptian execution. One wonders whether these too are not loot from one of the raids which the Ethiopians made from time to time into the Nile valley during the periods of weakness of the central power; but there is also plenty of proof that at a later date or, particularly, within the last millennium B. C., the worship of the Egyptian gods, especially Amen and the delites of the Osiris cycle, was taken into Meroe, and probably grafted on to some existing native cult. The new faith seems to have been associated here with many cruel and savage practices unknown further north, including, according to Professor Garstang, human sacrifices. The scenes here shown from the walls of the Meroitic temples, which depict prisoners being goaded and dragged to execution, and a small clay figure of one having his feet tied to the back of his neck in a position to which the "frog's march" must be a relief, reveal a thoroughly African delight in cruelty for its own sake. Equally African is a large piece of pottery with a slightly concave top and a central opening, which is described on the label attached as a bottle, but is evidently a low stool like those used by the Ashanti chiefs or caboceers at Coomassle and elsewhere. Among the smaller objects shown we note a beautiful cameo with a pair of galloping horses, black and white respectively, some good and unusual beads and some curious molds of pottery. One of the last is for making the sacred ankh, and another for an emblem which is supiciously like a true lover's knot. What the substance was that was poured into these vessels remains a puzzle, as the pottery, which is not particularly well baked, would probably not have stood the heat of molten metal. A stela discovered on a former occasion by Professor Garstang, in which the ankh was represented by a hole, may possibly have been connected with these and makes one wonder whether the castings were not made in some perishable substance, such as wax. But in this case, what was the symbolism involved? There is, of course, the possibility that the molds were used for the baking of cakes or loaves but their relatively large size militates somewhat against this view. The strictly historical inscriptions here shown include several cortuches of King Mer-ka-Ra, whose other name seems to have been Aspalut, and King Kutch-ka-Ra, also named Hormat-leq. No Horus or hawk names appear to have been discovered, and It is evident therefore that the Ethiopian kings only imitated the royal protocol of initulature of Egypt in part. Lastly there were discovered within the ruins of one of the royal palaces some pottery jars containing, gold dust and nuggets to the value of about £1,700. It is suggested that this formed part of the royal hoards stolen from the treasury and hidden, by the thieves. Another explanation would be that it was concealed by its lawful owners when Merce was taken and sacked, as Professor Sayce has shown by Ta-zena, king of Axum, in the fifth century of our era—Thet Athenseum. RACE BUILDING THERE SHOULD BE A CLOSER UNION AMONG NEGROES ALONG ALL BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL LINES. The salvation of the American Negro is in his own hands. It is useless for him not to attempt to rise to enmine educationally and financially unless he does it himself. If one would improve his own household he must do it by individual energy. So it is with the race. There should be a closer union among Negroes along all business and professional lines. In order to help the race upward we should purchase what we need from Negro merchants, and get our professional work done by Negro professional men. We should patronize Negro banks—for they are just as secure as any others—all are liable to failures. In whatever community the Negro has gotten together it is in that place we find the greatest success. We must learn to be self-helpers. We contribute largely toward enriching other races and leave ours to struggle. Let us bend our energies toward race building and put ourselves on record as being helpers instead of hinders. In many respects we are responsible for many of the shortcomings, and it is for us to improve upon our-disadvantages. The love of race must be instilled and stimulated in the young and it cannot fail to produce the most gratifying results in the business endeavors of the race. In bringing about good results the duty of business and professional men of the race toward their customers, clients and patients cannot be overlooked. We admit that both sides expect lenience and indulgence when neither should be allowed. Let every Negro business and professional man furnish the articles, and render the service, and then use the methods used by men who furnish the standards. We live in a section where there are great possibilities for the race, provided the opportunities offered us are used in the right direction. Dr. Booker T. Washington in his speech at the commencement of Villierforce university brought out many facts in regard to the advantages possessed by the southern Negro-Richmond Reformer. "MAN FARTHEST DOWN" COMMENTS ON THE SERIES OF ARTICLES BY BOOKER T. WASHINGTON NOW AP-PEARING IN THE OUTLOOK. Interesting, instructive and logically, graphically portrayed are the series of articles that are bitting published from the pen of Dr. Booker T. Washington in The Outlook Magazine each week. The subject the past week is "Life and Labor on the Continent," and consists of the personal observation of the doctor, as to the conditions of the natives as witnessed during his late European trip. From the information gained the Negroes of this country have much to gain and nothing to lose by following and obeying and emulating those progressive principles that are being taught to progressive Negroes throughout the land, by the recognized leader of the black race, Dr. Booker T. Washington—Providence (R. I.) Advocate. If there is one thing which one gathers from Dr. Washington's articles which may be regarded as the malstay of social progress and betterment, it is the possession of the land, and freedom in the control of it and one's self. These conditions do not seem to exist anywhere in Europe to the same extent that they are found in America. Large land holders who control the life and destiny of the laboring people are found everywhere and it is possible that this alone is responsible for much of the stagnation of European society. The Negro has none of these conditions to contend with except in a few scattered localities. As a rule he can buy a small farm and remain in the secure possession of it. This very opportunity would be highly prized by the laboring millions across the sea. Dr. Washington's articles ought to open the eyes of the Negro to the priceless privileges offered by the color-blind south—Durham (N. C.) Reformer. ISAIAH AND LUNCH COUNTER. Fogg remarks that they must have had railroad lunch counters in Isaiah's time, for we read in that prophet's writings; "And he shall snatch on the right hand and be hungry, and he shall eat on the left hand and then not be satisfied. --- Perhaps we cannot do better on this mid-July Sunday than meditate on the love of God for us all. Nothing sustains a wanderer from home, nothing gives him strength to put up with inconveniences and to bear fatigue or really enables him to interest himself in the objects and occurrences around him, more than the knowledge of the love of those he left behind him. Nothing imparts to our lives here on earth, in all their phases and violisitudes, in all their alms and interests the peace that comforts, the spirit that impels, the strength that upholds as well as the influences that permeate—more than the abiding consciousness of God's love for each and every one of us. The sweetest sentiments and the most lasting agencies and the most powerful incentives of childhood days—the thing that brought us then the deepest joy and caused us not to know what care and trouble were, or inspired us with all the trust and confidence that children have—came from the love which we instinctively felt that our parents had for us. The efforts made to learn and to do, the courage oft to take the initiative in many ways, and, not less, the undisturbed sleep and the absence of fear and timidity resulted from the same conviction. So in our mature years and older state must a similar condition exist from the knowledge of an actual, ever-present, overshadowing, all-comprehending love—the love of God above. He who knows not God's love is lonely and weak indeed. He walks the earth as they might walk who find themselves in sunless, pathless, darksome jungles. The universe has no magnificence, or glory, or power for him; and the world possesses no beauty, attraction or joyousness. Everywhere he goes, he meets no infinite friendship to delight him, no power strong enough to uplift him and no peace deep enough to enthrall him. In all the ways of life he will be the victim of discontent or despair, of anxious foreboding or anguished fears, of troubled misgivings or trenchant disappointment. On the contrary, when we are imbued with a sense of that love, the hardest things will become easy, the darkest days will be bright; no poverty or misfortune will destroy the peace of our souls or the joy of our hearts. We cast all our cares on him, and we know he will not fail. Just as children who, in times of trial and trouble, crying from hunger, nestle closely on the bosoms of those that love them—unconsciously feeling that parental love will provide. God loves us, beyond a doubt, each and every one, low and high, unfortunate and fortunate, sinner and saint. Christ assures us and Christ is God. "God so loved the world that he sent his only begotten son." "Christ loved us and delivered himself for us." On one occasion, when our blessed Saviour was, teaching his apostles how THE DEAD ARE STILL BURYING THEIR DEAD --- From the days of the earliest civilization it has been the business, as well as the disposition, of men to give considerable time and attention to the burying of their dead. There is nothing improper about this save the fact that it is often done to the serious neglect of the living. God who "is not the God of the dead, but of the living," has clearly revealed to us that our greatest mission is to the living. True it is that the dead are to be buried, and it is nothing of harmony with the eternal fitness of things to lay them away decently. Memorial occasions are not out of place, and, as far as it is practicable, monuments should be built in honor of the dead. Hero-warship is a commendable instinct in human nature. "When hereroship dies the gods are soon forget, and when monuments cease to be reared, altars will soon be overthrown." The practice in subordinating the care for the living to the caring for the dead is by no means of divine origin. Observation has convinced us that too much time and attention, as well as money, are given to preparations for the dead. We are further convinced that if more of our time and means were devoted to the living fewer would be the dead to be cared for. A dollar in medicine would often save $50 in burial expenses. Men are so inclined to neglect the living that they are virtually dead to the higher purposes of life, and their minds become absorbed in things pertaining to the dead. This inclination on the part of men is aptly portrayed in a line from Shakespeare which reads: "Come not when I am dead to drop thy foolish tears upon my grave." Health and the things conducive to it are considerations only of those who are alive with the spirit of helpliness and uplift. They are truly "the dead" who lay no stress on the things which concern the living, and they constitute an organized majority whose chief glory is found in "burying the dead." Though living, they are dead; and though dead, they yet speak the living truth that the "dead" are still "burying their dead." -Southern Ploughman. to pray and in whose name they should offer their prayers, he said: "I do not say that I will ask the father for you, for the father himself loveth you." The whole purpose of Christ's coming and the trend of his every deed was to show us and to convince us of heaven's love and care of us all. The Christian idea is of a God—good, kind, beneficent, merciful; and repudiates the thought of him as a Moloch, burning children in a fiery furnace, or a Saturn devouring his own offspring. He gave the earth to men for their use and enjoyment, and he has entrusted his angels with the charge of us that they bear us up, lest we dash our feet against a stone. He imprinted his own image in us, granted its intelligence and life and destined us to unending happiness. God is love. We must not allege, in opposition, or emphasize the evil that encompasses us, or the misfortunes that overtake us; for what we suffer is usually of our own doing. God, in his love and goodness, made us right and we have marred his work and introduced discord where he placed order and harmony. He gave us free-will, and we would not have it otherwise; from the use or rather abuse of the free-will come the miseries and bitterness of which we complain. Even personal and individual sorrows we trace to actions for which we are responsible. Whatever afflicts us disproves not that God loves us. Children will hurt themselves in spite of great love and tender solicitude; willful sons and wayward daughters will be plunged into disaster and distress though the best of care and attention have been bestowed on them; but the parents' love 'prevails and can be counted on for the healing of the wounds, the assuaging of the griefs and the bringing back to health and strength. God cannot prevent the sins I commit, or hinder my injustices, or destroy the consequences of my unwise choice and imprudent course; his power will not override my independence and willfulness; but he loyes me all the same, and wills that I be converted and live. He loves me—and I shall not fear any darkness, for he will make it light. He loves me, and I shall not indulge any excessive sadness at my mishaps, for he will turn my sorrow into joy. I shall not worry or be troubled; I shall not dread even death, for he will raise me up to life. Let due acknowledgment be rendered him in grateful praise and faithful service. He will still be God and his love for mankind still endure; our neglect or indifference may not mean anything to his essential nature and intrinsic happiness. But it means a great deal to us. Unfulfill and undutiful conduct on the part of a child may not destroy or alter a father's and a mother's love or make them less sensitive to its welfare and good, yet failure to remember and to return that love will result in shame and dishonor to the child. God may not need us, but we need him; and unless we be impressed with his love for us and give him just return for the same, we shall suffer loss indeed, even in our self-respect. AN IMPROVEMENT. Husband—How do you 'like' your new girl? Wife—Well, she works me a little harder than the last one, but she is more respectful. PROFANITY IN FIGTION The profuse use of profanity, the Bookman says, is not merely inartistic; it stamps unmistakably the beginner and the ineffectual workman. Profanity in fiction is at times not only excusable but necessary. In the hands of the master, who will employ it with wise economy, it is a kind of reserve force, a battalion of the old guard, to be held strongly in leash and to be released only at the vital moment. For example, in a memorable chapter of "Vanity Fair" Lord Steyne is bullying the women of his household, who have objected to the presence of Mrs. Rawdon Crawley at Gaunt House. "This house," he cries, "this temple of vulture, belongs to me, and if I choose to invite all, Bedlam here, or all Newgate, by God, they shall be welcome!" Here the oath is inevitable. It gives the final touch and brings to the reader the desired thrill. But had Thackeray wasted it by distributing it freely and unnecessarily in preceding paragraphs it would have failed utterly of its point. Again, in George Du Maurier's "Peter Ibbetson" we can recall just one oath, but that we shall never forget. It is held back until the great moment of the story and then let loose with hurid and terrible effect. THE CARES OF BUSINESS. The old storekeeper down in the country, who gave up keeping Turkey red because the women insisted on buying all he had as fast as he got it; must be related to the New Hampshire merchant. There was nothing he liked so well to do as to lie back in an old armchair on the elm shaded porch of his store and whittle a green willow stick. One very hot afternoon, just as he got his jackknife out, a boy appeared on the scene with a gallon jug. "Can I get a gallon of molasses?" he inquired. "Oh, hum!" growled the storekeeper, showing considerable temper. "Confound it! Nobody else in town's got molasses to sell but me, I suppose." With this stinging rebuke, he went in and filled the jug—Boston Globe. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Vital statistics continue to tell an ominous story regarding the negro. According to last report for this state, the number of deaths were about one hundred in excess of the births during the past quarter—the figures being 435 deaths as against 335 births. That is to say, unsanitary surroundings, social over speeding and general recklessness regarding hygienic living are getting in their deadly work all the time. We have any number of "uplift" organizations that look after the spiritual and moral welfare of the race. Now since morality is intimately connected with if not dependent upon physical well-being, wouldn't it be a splendid idea if some of these organizations would devote some little time to a "forward movement" along the line of more health and better health? Further, since every word that preceded from the lips of the preacher is law and gospel, why not institute an additional "day" and devote it to sermonizing on the greatest of all questions, "good health?" It was Carlyle we believe who said that no man with dyspepsia could be a Christian. And the statistics show that the ravages of scores of other diseases are preventing the negro from remaining a Christian long at a time. It would seem then that one way to promote Christianity would be to spread the gospel of good health. If statistics could be collected showing to what extent race efficiency is being lowered by the twin evils, the "sick habit" and the "drug habit," such statistics would be staggering in the story they would tell. The issue that dwarfs all other questions affecting the negro seems to be one looking to the conservation of negro health. If we lose here (and the facts seem to show that we are losing), then victory anywhere else is worthless. Walving the question as to whether some of our schools are not doing more to wreck than to conserve the health of their students, it might be mentioned in passing that these schools could and ought to do a wonderful work in the matter of promoting the general health of the race. Another curious feature about the last report on vital statistics was that concerning suicides. There were 28 suicides, and of that number only one was a negro. That is to say, the colored brother, doesn't take to the suicide route worth a cent. He exemplifies Shakespeare's philosophy "Better bear the ills we now endure to to fly to those we know not of." It takes a brave man to face the odds the negro has to face and keep on living. But he is doing just that—Dallas Express. A story is being told of a man electrocuted at Sling Sing who walked to the death chair with a smile on his face. Whether true or not, the story is deeply suggestive. The possibility of a man's meeting the death current with a smile must prove the practicability of meeting with a smile, any conditions of life. It is not always the great trials and troubles that are hardest to meet. We can readily acquire a habit of frowning over every petty woe or disappointment, and thus make life miserable not only for ourselves, but for all about us. It is a detestable habit, and is suicide to one's own joy in life, and murder to the joys of others. There seems to be something in human nature that braces us up for the inevitable. For this reason we face with fortitude the gravest disasters, even death itself, but fret and fuss and frown over little lilies which a cheerful smile would dissipate as sunshine dissipates malarial mists. Men who arise as masters in great emergencies may be stung to death by little annoyances. It is almost entirely a matter, of habit. Cheerfulness may be cultivated, as well as health. Indeed, the two blessings generally go together. Fortunately, few of us may be called upon to go smiling to the death chair. But we all are called upon every day to smile away life's little worries.—Ex. Every individual who has any intellectual life in him at all should subscribe for some worthy and lively paper. He owes it to his own development to do so. There are live subjects being discussed every day and every week through the papers, a knowledge of which he cannot afford to be without. But there are a great many who subscribe for papers who do not read them to advantage. The matter of reading is what we particularly wish to impress. It is a waste of money to buy-papers merely to be used for pasting on the walls of the room, or to spread on the table, or to be used in the shop as razor cleaners or for wrapping purposes. You must read and read to some purpose. Read thoroughly what you read, and digest it. Get thought out of your reading, and store away facts for use. In this way you will become strong and ready—Southern Ploughman. Our farmers must learn to cultivate intelligently. Success is fleeing from the farmer who scratches the earth, throws a few seed in, covers them and leaves them, to fight their own battle for growth and existence. You must be intelligent farmers as those of the more complicated vocations.—Palestine Pleaideeer. If the colored race will listen and heed the advice given by Booker T. Washington, prosperity, progress and contentment will follow. He has no time to spend in petty wrangling over politics. There is a big field of usefulness for the Negro, and he would have the race take advantage of its opportunities. In part, he said recently at a college commencement: "There are openings in the South for, at least 8,000 additional grocery stores, for 3,500 additional drug stores. There are openings in the South for 2,000 shoe stores, 2,000 millinery stores, and there are communities in the South where 2,000 additional Negro banks can be opened and supported. Further than this, there are places in the South where at least 75 self-governing, self-supporting and self-directing towns or cities may be established where the colored people can have their own mayor, their own board of aldermen, their own self-government from every point of view. In the last analysis, local self-government is the most precious kind of self-government. "If none of these openings suit the ambition of our educated colored men and women, there is another field that is ripe for the harvest, that of education. There are 1,500,000 Negro children of school age who do not enter any school in the South, and there are hundreds of thousands of others who are in school only three months out of the 12 months. We need 30,000 additional schoolhouses built in the South, and we need at least 20,000 additional Negro school teachers. But if the vision of the educated colored man cannot be realized in any of the callings to which I have referred, there are still other openings in the South. I refer to the opportunities in professional directions. There are individual locations in the South for at least 2,500 additional pharmacists, 2,000 additional dentists and 1,000 veterinary surgeons." The Richmond Times-Dispatch, commenting on the above, well says: "... But the speech of Washington was the speech of a wise man, a man of vision, who, passing by the trifling question of the loaves and fishes of office, and leaving the political embarrassments to the consideration of the little men of the race and their near-sighted white sympathizers up North, strikes the true note for their deliverance—land and more land, and independence. The Negro who would rather be a third-rate white man than a first-rate black man will protest; but what this Virginian in a colored skin said so well will appeal to the judgment of sane men whatever their race or their place of residence." —Editorial: Spartanburg (South Carolina) Herald The routing of the white slave trade has been made a national issue and is being weakened and trampled throughout the world. Who has said anything of negro slave trade; who has protested against it; who has aided in its extermination? Those who are trafficked in the low pits of debauchery and immorality in the negro slave traffic are the flowers of our race; then we should make the movement of rescuing them from the mighty drop-fall that is daily carrying thousands to ruin. Our girls are faced by mylads of hardships and traps, that are being set to snare them by the two prevailing peoples of this country—black and white. They are preyed upon, on account of the injustice of the law toward them on account of the color of their skin and the texture of their hair. The dominant causes of their downfall is the disrespect, immoral enticements from some of our men mantled with mock righteousness and the lack of efficient and thorough home training on the part of some parents. If these helnous curs who carry on the modern slave traffic for the wrecking of their lives, and their hellish designs were wiped out, every mother and father would wear smiles of confidence and happiness. We must assail this sin in the pulpit, through the press, in the meetings and every available place where the masses can take it in and consider the conditions.—Palestine Plaindealer. A minister of the gospel once said to a certain bishop: "Now that the hot weather is upon us, my dear bishop, I find that a good many members of my congregation are. inclined to—er—doze during the sermon. What remedy do you advise in this matter?" The bishop with a faint smile replied: "When I first commenced preaching I devoted a good deal of thought to the problem you propound. I will tell you the course I decided on. I gave the sexton strict orders that whenever he saw anyone asleep in my congregation he should immediately step forward and wake up the preacher."—Exchange. The new bills bearing the signature of Register Napier will soon be ready for distribution. There is a big demand for them. That's the way a dispatch puts the case. There is not only a big demand for those bills—there is a crying need for them. We need a few thousand of those of larger denominations right now. For God's sake send em on down—Dallas Express. FURNISS MAY BE RETAINED IN HAITI President Taft Asks Ambassador .Not to His Station. STATE DEPARTMENT SAYS FUR NISS HAS MADE A FINE REC ORD IN HAITI. Washington, D. C.—It is announced at the White House that President Taft has definitely decided to retain Minister Henry W. Furniss, of Indianapolis, Ind., as our representative in Haiti. The president has reached this decision not only because of the strong desire of prominent colored people throughout the country that Dr. Furniss be retained, but especially because the young man has made such a fine record in Haiti as a diplomat, statesman and master of the large public questions that the people in New York, Chicago, Boston and all of the great metropolitan centers of the United States, as well as those residing in Haiti, who have financial interests involved, are practically unanimous in their demand that Minister Furniss remain at his post at Port au Prince. He has assisted American commerce in various legitimate ways, and at the same time has helped the Haitian people by placing them in touch with C. H. H. HENRY W. FURNISS. the latest and best productions of the mills and factories of this country, and has preserved the spirit of fraternity between the two republics in the face of many trying ordeals. It is very encouraging to note that the president has recognized the worth of Minister Furniss in this signal manner, and that he has been so gracious in the matter of following the wishes of those most interested in the welfare of Haiti. Minister Furniss has been at all times in hearty accord with the broad and far-reaching policies of Secretary Knox, and the state department, says that he has made a superb record in Haiti, contending that it would be an injustice to all concerned to permit him to sever his connection with the diplomatic service of the nation at any time in the near future, in view of the very excellent reasons why he should remain in the field where he has been so useful. 'ARNST REGARDED AS " WHITE HOPE." New York.—The real live "white hope" that has a possible chance to defeat Jack Johnson for the title of heavyweight champion of the world is Richard Arnst, the champion sculler of the world. At least Australians are pinning their faith to Arnst, and are predicting, now that he has entered the list as a boxer, that he will fulfill all promises and wrest the title from its present holder. Arnst recently accepted favorably the suggestions by many Australians that he take up boxing and become a claimist for the title. He has started training, although he is in adept with the gloves. It was the showing he made in private and his powerful physique that caused Australians to regard him favorably as a possible heavyweight champion. He weighs 196 pounds. Before becoming champion sculler of the world and beating all the best oarsmen brought against him, Arnst was a bicycle rider. It was while riding the wheel that he developed his great muscles and gained much of the endurance which later stood him in stead as an oarsman. IS THIS TRUE? If a ten-pound fish is put into a tub of water, does that add ten pounds to the vessel and its contents? Let George M. Myers, some fisherman, answer that question. "Your first inclination is to answer yes," says Myers, "but do not be too fast. Yes is the correct answer only when the fish touches the side of the tub. When the fish floats clear of the sides the vessel and its contents weigh just what it did before the fish was put in." Several mine owners here recently bet a large sum on this question—Kansas City Star. FEDERATION OF VIRGINIA COLORED WOMEN'S CLUBS WORTHY ORGANIZATION' FORMULATED PLANSTHAT WILL RESULT IN MUCH GOOD TO THE RACE IN VIRGINIA. Roanoke, Va.-The Federation of Colored Women's Clubs of Virginia held its annual meeting at Roanoke, Va., and formulated many plans that will result in much good to the race in Virginia. These ladies are determined to have a state industrial home school for colored girls of tender years, who are so unfortunate as to fall into the hands of law, and by this means keep them from the jails and the state penitentiary. The members are firm believers in doing all in their power to lift up the fallen before appealing to the general public. They have been signally successful in their efforts, and deserve to be complimented for their activity along this line. The Roanoke Times has the following to say about the meeting: "Colored women from various cities of Virginia, including Richmond, Lynchburg, Norfolk, Petersburg, and Portsmouth, are meeting in the High Street Baptist church in Roanoke this week to discuss and form plans for the advancement of the negro race. Many subjects of interest are being discussed and yesterday six hundred dollars was subscribed to a fund for the establishment of an institution for rescue work. It has been said that God helps him who helps himself. The individual, the community or the race, satisfied with conditions and content to depend upon others for progress, usually will either stand still or deteriorate. Self help is necessary to growth, mental, physical and spiritual, and the fact that colored people of Virginia and the south are recognizing this principle, may be regarded as a most encouraging indication. When members of the race work 'for themselves and are anxious to keep pace with the march of civilization, results can be expected. Coming into close touch with each other and being in position to teach and to advise their people as to what will best contribute to their welfare, philanthropic and educational organizations among them should find a fruitful field of labor and be able to accomplish much good. In these efforts they will have the sympathy and earnest cooperation of all citizens who are interested in their country and anxious to see it attain to the highest development." PRIZE FOR LAWLESSNESS EASILY TAKEN BY HAITI New York.—"I have been in many corners of the world, but Haith is the most lawless country I ever saw." This is the summing up of the situation in Port au Prince given by Captain Willey Arens, the German officer who brought the mysterious Halten cruiser, Consul Grostuck, across the ocean on her recent trip from Italy. On his arrival in New York Captain Arens said positively that General Cipriano Castro had not been either one of the crew or a passenger or the Consul Grostuck on the voyage from Italy, "The voyage of the Consul Grostuck, with her leaky boilers, is one I shall not soon forget," he said. "The ship was in awful shape. Her funnels were rusted away at their base and her guns were well-nigh useless. "When, at last, the steamship was delivered to President Simon four valutes were fired and since then the guns have not been used. As the ammunition lies exposed to the heat of a tropical sun, it would not be surprising if a premature explosion blew the ship out of the water. The funnels are uncovered and everything is rusting. The city of Port au Prince is full of knaves and thieves. I was attacked, robbed and nearly killed in the public square and afterwards never left the hotel." HUBERT . HAMED PRESIDENT Jackson, Miss.—In keeping with its policy of turning its large negro schools over to the management of negroes as soon as practicable, the American Baptist Home society has recently named Prof. Z. T. Hubert, of Atlanta, president of Jackson college, located at this place. This fact, together with the installation of Prof. John Hope as president of Atlanta Baptist college, and the turning over of the new Roger Williams university to negroes gives the society a warmer plate in the hearts of the colored people of the south. Prof. Hubert, who is one of the most advanced representatives of the young educated negro; succeeds Dr. Luther G. Barrett, who was president for seventeen years. By his coming, an all-negro faculty will be in charge of the work of Jackson college. The new president was born and reared in Georgia, and understands thoroughly the economic and educational needs of his people. He is an alumnus of Atlanta Baptist college, the Massachusetts Agricultural college and Boston university. HIS IDEA OF ECONOMY.

BUTLER, Manager and Proprjetor, ‘There exlets in Europe and America 4 mistaken notion that almost every married Turk has several wives, that he is at fiverty to marry as many times as-he Mkes; and that it is for him jugt-as easy to divorce a wife as to change an overcoat, Polygamy in Turkey Is the excepjion, and not the rule, the majority of the Osman- Ms have but one wife. In the metrop- olis itself polygamy does not amount to five per cent. It is very rarely met with in other big centers of the Otto- man empire, save among the richest and most powerful functionarles, and leven then plurality of wives is an ex- ception. The jegal number of wives is four. Only the padishah and caliph is al- lowed to have more, being a person beyond and above lim{tatfons’ andjre- strictions of that kind. The prophet Mohammed had seven wives, and All, the fourth In the succession of the cal- Iphate, had ‘nine, One of the chief causes of the plu- rallty of wives being so rare among the Turks f that, while the prophet and the Koran permit the faithful wor- shipers of Is!am to marry four times, they also provide strict injunctions of a religious and ethical nature, which every Mussulman has to adhere to if he doesn't want to be excommu- nfcated from the fold of orthodox Is- lamism, Thus, a Turk who {s desir- ‘ous of contracting a second marriage 1s bound by an explicit lay to provide for his*new Ife companion a sepa- rate dwelling place jn every respect similar to that of his first wife, as well as an equal number of slaves and servants, This is done not only for the sake of the principle of equity so highly pronounced in Mohammedan matrimo- nial relationships, but chiefly in or+ der not to excite jealousy and rivalry. ‘The same pripciple must be observed in the third and fourth marriage” Another reason for the rarity of polygamous practices among Moslems is the very intricate character of the wedding’ ceremony. The purely re- Hgious part of it is always small, nas- | much as a Turkish couple can be con-| sidered married if they express tnetr desire to be so in the presence of one witness and an “imam” (priest). But the difficult and costly conditions pre- ceding this stmple‘feligious act have at all times been an obstacle not only to polygamy, but to marriage gener- ally. To begin with, a Turk desirous to marry has to hand over to his bride's parents a sum of between $50 and $2,500, or even much more, according to the means and social position of the couple, in order to furnish the nup- tial chamber. Besides, tlle prospective bride demands a large number of pres- ents, very often extremely costly and frequently beyond the means of the bridegroom. These presents consist, as a rule, of bracelets, earrings, brooches, rings and gems, and are sine gua non of a Turkish wedding. Ifthey are inferfor to the extravagant an- ticipations and pretensions of the bride or her parents, they are imme- diately sent back. This is often given and taken ag a hint that the pngage- ment is declared off, BEE THE— 821 BROUGHTON STREET, EAST. ___ Next Door to Red Croes Pharmacy. Special Prices Given for thirty Days.

CAUSES OF SLEEP EXPLAINED Frenchman Gaye it le Inherited Fs stinct to Protect Organism From“ . Effects of Fatigue. |, At the National Museym for Natural History in Paris’M, RB, Le gendre lately delivered an‘extremelj interesting lecture on “The Physiolo- gy of Sleep,” which eummarizes the latest researches on the subject. He admitted at the outset that it was impossible to give an exact defini- tion of, sleep, which was to be dis. tinguished from narcosis, hypnotism and lethargy, and devoted himself chiefly to investigating the cause of sleep, of which many explanations have been ‘suggested., He-shqwed by fairly coticlusive arguments that this could be neither brain pgllor, nor in- toxication by carbonic ‘acid,*nof the presence of narcotic substances in the blood, theories which have had in their turn greater or less success ; and finally avowed his preference for the view of Prof. Claparede of Ge- neva that sleep-is not the result of fatigue but an inherited instinct de- signed to protect the organism against the ill effects of fatigue. He pointed out, however, that an injec- tion of the cerebro-spinal (cephalo- rachidian) fluid fram an animal suf- fering ftom insomnia would produce the same malady in one otherwise healthy; and that experiments were now being made to determine the toxic substance present in the fluid in question. Some of these experi- ments seem to showthat the effect of sleep is limited to the brain and nerves.—The Athenaeum. LESSON IN HARMONY SCORED Little Giri, After Lecture on Color Combinations, Discovers Real Symphony In Black. —A woman who prides herself on her instinct for producing effective and harmonious, combinations of color was called upon to admire a doll’s toilet which her small daugh- ter had just completed: Dolly’s out- fit comprised all the primary colors. There were no softening mezzotints to rest the tired eye as it royed from ‘red to orange, and then wandered on blinkingly,to be confronted by pur- ple and green. It was hard for’the aesthetic parent to believe any child of hers had such crude ideas as to what constituted decorative effect, but there was the doll in all its lurid- ness to prove the sad fact. THere- upon mother proceeded to talk long and earnestly (in words of one syl- lable) on harmony in general and harmonious color combinations in particular. ‘ That the seed did not fall on bar- ren soil was proved an hour later when the latest recruit to art called out: “Oh, mother, do come fo the window and see this boy. He is a plaék boy, mother, and he’s riding a black horse. That shows that he has good taste, doesn’t it, to pick out. , horse of the same color?” WATER LILY FARM. One-of the beauty spots in Wash- ington is the water lily farm con- ducted by a woman who as a clerk in the treasury department ‘lost: ker health. Starting as an amateur cul- tivator, she has become one of ‘the most prosperous producers of the flowers. She purchased a few acres on the Potomac and caused an arti- ficial lake to be made on her land by piping in the water. She be- came fascinated with the work, and willingly gave up her government position ‘so she could devote her at- tention to the flowers. Now she has ponds which cover five acres, in which she is raising the flowers, and many persons’ go to her garden at early hours of the morning to see the lilies in full bloom. WHEN SCHUMANN WAS SORE. An amusing story of Schumann ig told by a Vienna critic.- The comi- poser once accompanied his wife, who was even then a celebrated pian- ist, to the palace, when she went to play before the king of Holland, and was gratified by the monarch’s com- pliments of her performance. The composer was somewhat surprised, however, when the king turned to him and courteously iriqnired: ‘Are you also musical?” They say Schu- mann was 80 indignant’ that he didn’t speak-for an hour. MAKES THE DIAGNOSIS EASY, - “Doctor, I snffer dreadfully from rheumatism in my knee.” ~ “Well, thete’s some eatisfaction in 1 cr ~ £¥es; it shows, you, know, that it’e 3 real case of rheuniatism.” e BRITISH WOMEN AS PIONEERS Dr, Ethol Smyth Has Opera Produced and Orchestra Contains Several Feminine Performers. For the first time in the history of- English music women havg been heard in first-class orchestra, Dr. Ethel Smyth, the first woman to heve an opera produced in England, is the pioneer of this project, and introduced a woman-flautist and per- cussionist, as well ss a woman at the ‘drum, into the orcliestra, ‘which in- ‘terpreted her varied and‘ magnifi- cent harmonies at 2 recent matinee at' a London theater. Hitherto a woman harpist is the only feminine figure; which: has, appeared in first- clags orchestra, the harp being what Dr. Smyth describes as “an eminent- ty'ladylike'instriment.” * She’claims that women canlook very pretty playing wind instruments, and that their femininity need not have any effect on the volume of sound they produce. The amount of noise is not a result necessarily of physique, but rather of intensity of feeling; this is Dr. Smyth’s contention and in intensity it cannot be said the women are Jacking. The songs in which these ladies were tested were extremely difficult and very modern, and have hitherto taxed the capacity of the first-class male performer to the utmost, but they’ stood the test admirably, and there seems no good reason why in future the symphony orchestre and ifs prototypes should not have the dull' monotony of its black-coated music masters relieved by feminine frills.

SURE CURE FOR SNORING, To the morers who ask for the cure let the cause be announced, Snoring is the result of .stomachic repletion and mental vacuity. A cor- respondent who has suffered from both prescribes the cure. A light supper—or none—to avoid repletion, and the frequent repetition of same literary phrase to provide occupation for the mind during sleeping hours. Go to bed fasting and think of some short literary phrase to occupy your mind.. The combination of the two prescriptiotis. against snoring—the abstention from food and the medi- tation: upon the literary phrase— may be ‘found in Ecclesiasticus—the ninetieth verse of the thirty-first chapter: “How sufficient to a well- mannered man is a very little, and he doth not breathe hard upon hig bed.” IKU'’S DEPARTURE. The departure of the arch-crim- inal Iku from Pekin to exile is de- scribed as rivaling in splendor that of the most distinguished envoy to foreign parts. All the unoccupied great ones of Pekin “saw him off;” he took ’four cooks and twenty sery- ants with:hjm, and left behind with each"servant’s family a solatium of ifty Sojinces ; moreover each servant ‘had to “gign on” and secure “bail” for good behavior. “It pays to be @ traitor.”—Westminster Gazette. ’ HABIT. “There's no use talking,” said Mr. Dustin Stax; “this corporation of ours will have to dissolve.” “How will youygo about it?” “I don’t know.
