VOLUME XXVII. ROOSEVELT PROUD OF PANAMA CANAL Gave the People Benefit of Doubt. Scores Critics Who Say He Aoted Beyond Constitutional Powers— "Timid President Can Find Excuses." New York.—Theodore Roosevelt has an article on "How the United States Acquired the Right to Dig the Panama Canal." In the last issue of the Outlook. Mr. Roosevelt discusses statements which have been made from time to time that he acted in an unconstitutional manner and usurped authority in connection with the Panama project, and he upholds the regularity of the proceedings throughout. Mr. Roosevelt says that his messages to Congress set forth in full and in detail every essential fact connected with the various phases of the acquisition of the Panama Canal. He adds: "Not one important fact was omitted, and no fact of any importance bearing upon the actions or negotiations of the representatives of the United States not there set forth has been, or ever will be, discovered, simply because there is none to discover." Referring to the opposition to the project then and since, Mr. Roosevelt says: "Of course there was at the time, and has been since," much repetition of statements that I acted in an 'unconstitutional' manner, that I 'usurped authority' which was not mine. These were the statements that were made again and again in reference to almost all I did as President that was most beneficial and most important to the people of this country. Acted Within Powers. "The simple fact was that when the interest of the American people imperatively demanded that a certain act should be done, and I had the power to do it, I did it, unless it was specifically prohibited by law. "In my judgment, history had taught the lesson that the President has very great powers if he chooses to exercise those powers; but that, if he is a timid or selfish man, afraid of responsibility and afraid of risks, he can, of course, manufacture ingenious excuses for failure to exercise them." Opposed By Speculators. Concerning the purchase of the canal rights from the French Company, Mr. Roosevelt says: "Every step taken by the Government in connection with its negotiations with the French Company and the payment to its official representatives in accordance with the agreement entered into was taken with the utmost care, and every detail has been made public. Doubtless in Paris, and perhaps to a lesser extent in New York, there were speculators who bought and sold in the stock market with a view to the varying conditions apparent from time to time in the course of the negotiations, and with a view to the probable outcome of the negotiations." RARE HONORS PAID SCHLEY. Naval and Military Forces and Hosts Of Friends At Funeral. Washington.—Naval honors seldom accorded an American characterized the funeral here of Rear Admiral Winfield Scott Schley. The body rested in the family home, preparatory to the private services at 1.30 o'clock. The public services were at St. John's Episcopal Church. Cadets from the Naval Academy at Annapolis, sailors from the naval stations at Washington and Philadelphia, light artillery and army bands from Fort Myer and Washington Barracks, and comrades and friends of the dead Admiral composed the procession that escorted the body of Admiral Schley from St. John's Church to its resting place in Arlington National Cemetery. Imposing floral gifts filled St. John's Church. These included a wreath from the survivors of the Greely Arctic relief expedition, rescued by Admiral Schley at Cape Sabina in 1884, and wreaths from the Cuban Legnion and other sources. Christianity For Japan. Hartford, Conn.-At a meeting of members of the Farmington Avenue Congregational Church, Rev. Dr. W. W. McKenzie, President of the Hartford Theological Seminary, made this statement: "I understand that the Emperor of Japan will shortly issue an adict establishing Christianity as the official religion of that country." CROSS-COUNTRY AEROPLANES CAUSE ALARM SOUNDS LIKE BEES THEM BEES SWARMING AGAIN? A FOOL TIME FOR BEES TO SWARM! WAS PLAY FOR THE ITALIAN GUNNERS Bombarded Tripoli and Demolished the Forts. NO SHOTS HIT THE SHIPS Several Times He Ordered a Letup In the Firing To Give the Garrison a Chance to Rome.—Admiral Faravelli has sent a message to the government, stating that the bombardment of the main batteries at Tripoli commenced at 5 o'clock Wednesday afternoon and continued until sunset. Admiral Aubrey reports that in bombarding Tripoli he spared all the consulates, hospitals, churches, monasteries and convents, aliming only at the fortifications. Discrimination was made with relative ease, as the range of the Turkish cannon was so short that the ships were enabled to approach the city closely and so take accurate aim. The bombardment was protracted because of this extreme care to avoid useless bloodshed and to respect the homes of non-combatants and the mosques. Moreover, the firing was at long intervals, as Admiral Aubrey and Vice Admiral Faravelll expected at any moment to see the white flag run up indicating a desire to surrender. Scarcely any of the population remains in Tripoll, the city having been abandoned immediately when the bombardment began. In cautioning the fleet commanders to limit their action to silencing the batteries and compelling the Turkish garrison to surrender or evacuate, the Ministry of Marine told the officers to remember that the provinces were about to pass under Italian control, and the more damage done the greater would be the expense of repair later. A message from Admiral Thaon di Revel says that the action appeared more like a shooting competition than a bombardment. Officers and sailors placed wagers on the results. In one instance an order was given to dismantle a particular battery. One gunner was heard 'to say: "I bet I can knock down the left turret at the first shot." When the smoke had cleared the turret had disappeared. The same man shot again; "Now right turret." In a flash the second mark was in ruins. BOY SAVÉS FOUR. Geta Younger Children Out Of Burning House. Knoxville, Tenn. — Eight-year-old Alexander Hatcher is a hero in Knoxville. His presence of mind and courage undoubtedly saved the lives of four younger children and probably the house of his father, Joseph Hatcher. He had been left to look after the others, and when a kerosene lamp was overturned, setting fire to the room he succeeded in getting the children safely out of the building. The firemen found also that he had practically extinguished the flames. HUNDREDS OF LIVES LOST Terrible Destruction By a Storm Along the North Sea Coast. Along the North Sea Coast Antwerp.-Two hundred and forty lives are known to have been lost in coastal craft during the storm of Sunday. More than 100 bodies have been washed ashore. SAVANNAH, GEORGIA; SATURDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1911. TELEGRAPHIC TICKS. Chicago.—There is no treatment known to medical science for the cure or removal of "smallpox pits," according to a decision handed down by the Appellate Court, thus awarding $899 to a complainant. Chicago.—Milk consumption in Chicago is a little less than a pint per day per capita, according to the Department of Agriculture. Elgin, Ill.—Mrs. Charles Webster is glad her baby cries at night. Its screams saved the lives of six from asphyxiation. Rock Island, Ill.—Erskin S. Walker, before taking his life, willed his estate to his 16-year-old sweetheart. He decided he didn't want to leave her, so she lies at the point of death from a bullet wound. Laper, Mich.—Because it is said he got the worst of a horse-trading deal, Harry Coleman, an aged farmer, committed suicide by hanging. Chicago.—Archdeacon William E. Toll was chosen Episcopal Suffragan Bishop of Chicago on the first ballot, his nearest competitor "being Dean Walter L. Sumner, chairman of the Chicago Vice Commission. New York.—Justice Delauey enforced the public drinking cup law in his court when he beforade an attorney to drink from the stenographer's glass. New York.—Twenty-five thousand dollars a year rent is to be paid for the roof of a building on Broadway for display sign advertisements. Nashville.—The special commission investigating pellagra in Tennessee has reported to the State Board of Health that it found 95 per cent. of pellagra victims were users of cornmeal. HOME IS AN ARMED FORT HOME IS AN ARMED FORT Men Who Killed Deputy and Wounded Two Sheriffs, Barricaded, Defy Arrest. Jonesville, Va.—In a fight between a Sheriff's posse and kinsmen of a young woman wanted as a murder trial witness, at Gibson Station, Va. Deputy Sheriff William Collins, of Bell county, Kentucky, was killed; Sheriff James Collins, of the same county, was probably fatally wounded, and George Tucker, Sheriff of Lee county, Virginia, was seriously injured. The posse, headed by James Collins, went to the home of George Smith, near Gibson Station, Va., to arrest Mrs. Zirelda Denny Barnett, wanted at Pinville, Ky., as a material witness against her brother, Charles Denny, accused of a murder that occurred near Middlesboro, Ky., several months ago. It is said that Mrs. Barnett was willing to go with the officers, who held a requisition for her, but her kinsfolk, the Smiths, objected to her arrest. When the officers attempted to force their way into the Smith home they were fired on. One of the Collins brothers, was Instantly killed and Sheriff Tucker was wounded. Fears are expressed for the safety of Deputy Sheriff McCoy, of Pineville, Ky., who accompanied the posse when it first called at the Smith home. It is beloved he returned to attempt to recover the bodies of the two Collinses and was shot by persona. barricaded in the Smith house. PUTS DR. WILEY IN FULL CONTROL Solicitor McCabe Leaves the Pure Food Board. CHEMIST DUNLAP ALSO OUT Changes Announced As the Result Of the Recent Decision Of President Taft Exonerating the Federal Food Expert. Washington.—In a sudden succession of orders an initial move in the expected_reorganization of the Department of Agriculture, Solicitor George P. McCabe Tuesday was retired from the Pure Food and Drug Board, Associate Chemist F. L. Dunlap, closely identified with McCabe, was allowed leave of absence until the President's return, and Chemist Harvey W. Wiley left apparently in supreme command of the board. Dr. R. E. Doolittle, of New York, was temporarily appointed to the board to succeed Mr. McCabe. These changes were announced by Secretary Wilson following a conference with Dr. Wiley, who has been on a long vacation. They were deemed inevitable in view of the official and personal antagonism aired before a congressional committee the past summer and Dr. Wiley's exoneration by President Taft after Attorney General Wickersham, with views aligned with those of Secretary Wilson and Solicitor McCabe, had recommended Dr. Wiley's removal from office as head of the chemistry bureau because of a technical irregularity in appointive methods, the responsibility for which he denied. The Board At Odds. The Pure Food and Drug Board is the agency which passes upon many important cases arising under the enforcement of the pure food law. Dr. Willey, on the one hand, and Solicitor McCabe and Dr. Dunlap on the other, were the members of the board. Dr. Willey declared that he was usually outvoted and made a number of sensational statements in the investigation of the controversy. Smarting under the frequent overruling of his views wherein he held food products deleterious to health, he told a congressional committee that he regarded his associate, Dr. Dunlap, as his superior officer. Secretary Wilson's brief announcement of the change stated that Solicitor McCabe voluntarily resigned and that his resignation had been accepted. Dr. Dunlap was acting chairman of the board when Dr. Willey was absent from Washington. Whether Dr. Dunlap will return to his duties on the board was not stated. His temporary withdrawal was attributed officially to the fact that he is to take the customary four-week vacation, but Secretary Wilson stated that Dr. Dunlap would not return until after President Taft has returned to Washington. In place of Solicitor McCabe to serve with Dr. Wiley on the board Secretary Wilson appointed Dr. Doolittle, long a member of the Bureau of Chemistry force and now head of that bureau sub-station in New York. Dr. Wiley and Dr. Doolittle will constitute the majority of the board for the immediate future, the latter's appointment being necessary to give the board's action legal effect. NAVY TO SHOW STRENGTH. Mobilization Of Fleets In the Atlantic and Pacific. Washington-It is believed here that great naval maneuvers and mobilization to be held in the Atlantic and Pacific next month are the result of the strained situation in Europe and the unrest apparent throughout the world. The uncertainty of the situation in Europe with the vague possibility of developments that might involve any of the nations through some unexpected event is fully realized by the government at Washington. While all Europe is torn with war and rumors of war, Uncle Sam has decided to make a quiet display of the fact that he has not been idle. Whether there is any more definite reason for the mobilizations at New York and Los Angeles of the Atlantic and Pacific fleets could not be learned, but the impression is strong that the plan was adopted merely for its moral effect on the international situation. Secretary-Meyer is still uncertain as to the exact plan of mobilization. It will take place early in November, and with the President reviewing, the ships at New York the occasion is expected to be made so notable that it will be a matter of news throughout the world. Miss Fidelia's Garden By Jerome Sprague (Copyright, 1921, by Associated Literary Press) Miss Fidelia had made up her mind that none of her nieces should miss the privileges of girlhood. "When I was young," she said to her most intimate friend, Mrs. Perkins, "when I was young, Phoebe, you know how things were with me. Father and mother didn't believe that sentiment was necessary, and they made us wear practical, plain things, and entertain our company when the whole family was present, and the result was that Mary and Margaret ran away to get married, and I, not having their courage, have remained single. And now Mary and Margaret are doing just as father and mother did, driving their five pretty daughters to clandestine engagements, and making all sorts of trouble if they look at a young man." "Well," Mrs. Perkins said, "you know how I used to pity you, Fidelia. It was only when you came over to my house that you ever saw Andrew Stokes, and at last your conscience worried you about that, and you stayed away, and he thought you didn't like him any more and went out west—" There was a pretty blush on Miss Fidelia's cheeks. "Oh, Andrew Stokes," she mused, "he was a nice boy, Phoebe, and if I had it to do over again I'd act differently." Her calm manner deceive Phoebe. "She's forgotten that she thought her heart was broken. I remember she cried for a whole night in my arms when he went away." But she did not voice her thought, she merely asked, placidly, "What are you going to do about your nieces?" "I'm going to provide everything that will help them along the road to matrimony," said Miss Fidelia, firmly. "I've been happy enough, Phoebe, but I've missed a lot—and I'm not going to have them following in my footsteps. And since Uncle Jude died and left me the old place I have planned to fix it so that when those girls come to see me there will be everything ready to entertain their young men. I'm going to have hammocks and cozy corners, and a big fireplace where they can pop corn and make candy, and I'm going to have the floor in the dining room polished so that they can dance. And if they don't have a good time it won't be because I don't know how to plan it for them." Miss Fidelia's sisters argued that the little lady's ideas were ridiculous. Her garden, for example, she called "the garden of love," and there was a fountain in it, with a cupid in marble holding the water-spout. "Everybody will think you are a sentimental old maid," was the unvarnished statement of sister Mary, when she came over one night to find her own three pretty daughters and Margaret's acting as hostesses to a crowd of laughing young folk. "I am," said Miss Fidelia, serenely. "I wasn't allowed to have any sweetness and romance in my own youth, and I'm going to see that other people get it." "I wouldn't let my girls go there," Mary confided afterward to Margaret; "but Uncle Jude left Fidelia all his money, and it won't pay to make her mad. He was always furious over that Andrew Stokes affair; he thought father and mother should have let Fidelia marry him." "That reminds me," Margaret said. "Andrew Stokes is in town. Rufus saw him at the postoffice." Mary stared. "Well, of all things," she said. Then she leaned forward, confidentially. "We'd better keep him away from Fidelia," she said. "Fidelia ain't fifty, and you don't know what notions she might have about him." If they had only guessed, the memory of Andrew Stokes burned in Miss Fidelia's heart. She had never forgotten him, never ceased to mourn. her lack of courage in refusing to marry him. It was Phoebe Perkins who told her he was in town. "Andrew Stokes came to see us last night, Fidelia, she said. "He asked after you." It seemed to Miss Fidelia as if the secret which she had kept so long must be read now in her face. Her heart beat to suffocation. But she managed to say, calmly, "Is he married, Phoebe? "No, and he hasn't lost his looks. Fidelia. His hair is gray, but he's as straight and handsome as ever, and he seems prosperous. They say he has made a lot of money." "What did he say about me?" Miss Fidelia held her breath for the answer, and Phoebe hesitated to give it. "He asked if that pretty little girl who jilted him had ever married. And he said it very bitterly." "But I didn't jilt him," Miss Fidelia cried. "Why, I—I just didn't give him any answer at all!" "Well, when we told him you were single, he waited a while, and then asked: 'Is she as pretty as ever?' " "Oh, Phoebe!" "And I said 'yes,'" Mrs. Perkins asserted stoutly. "Of course you aren't as young, but except that your curls are silver instead of gold; I can't see much difference." That night Miss Fidella sat down beside the fountain. "I guess I am too old," she whispered. "I put on this white dress tonight and tied a blue ribbon around my hair, but I B. H. "He Wouldn't Understand That I'm Brave Enough Now." don't look the same—and anyhow, I can't expect Andrew to come to my garden of love. He wouldn't understand that I'm brave enough now. I'd fly with him to the ends of the earth." "Would you, Fidelia?" said some one behind her, and she turned and gasped, "Andrew." "Let me look at you." He drew her up from the bench. "You're still a little, little timid thing," he said, as she shrank from him. "Phoebe Perkins has been telling me some things, Fidelia. I wonder if she guessed the truth." "I don't know," Miss Fidelia faltered. "She told me that you had laid out this garden of love because you had missed romance in your own life, and she told me you cried the night that I left, Fidelia." "There hasn't been a minute in all these years that I haven't thought of you, Andrew," she cried. "And when I made my garden it was always you and myself that I saw in it as we might have been—it was for you I made my garden of love, Andrew." And after a little while, when rapturously he had renewed the vows of his youth, she leaned over and looked at the cupid in the fountain. "Look, Andrew," she said, joyously, "he isn't sneering at me now, he's laughing, because at last we're reunified." "One can take a humorous view of everything if ora wiacha." "Can they?

RAL AREEES Remember the Sabbath day to keep Bt holy. ‘The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. + The history of Sunday observance .Feveals two tendencies not easy to Feconclle in one prinetple—one toward ‘Uberty, the other toward restraint by Jegal and ecclesiastical authority. ‘The- Jewish church in the days of Jesus Silustrates the latter tendency. {The authorities hedged the sacred day about with minute, and often absurd, Feitrictions, forbidding even the visita- won of the sick. For colossal foolish: ness probably the rabinnical reguia- tions for Sabbath observance have never.been equaled, certainly never excelled. Against these, and not against a true religious observance of "the day, Jesus protested, and for so doing ‘he was charged with being a Sabbath-breaker. ‘The Medieval church fell into the eame error. As soon as the bishops had the power gonferred by the state “tw compel obedience they repeated the wiclous exemple, and the ignorant peo- ple were forced to bow to authority ‘which they had no hand in creating, and so Sunday again became a day of ‘durdens. But the other tendency—that -of Mberty—was always preset, acting as & check on excedsive ecclesiastic- sam, Tho mystics in particular were active in protest In favor of a more epiritual and religious view. | The Reformation church reveals the @ome.tendency. On the one hand we “have the Puritan with his “blue laws,” his image-breaking end bis over-right- eous and overbearing attitude toward ‘the cavailer. By a strange transfer of standpoint the Puritan stands out a3 the advocate of authority—the authorl- ty of Scripture—and the cavaller of Uberty, with a marked tendency to worldiness. It 1s not generally known that in the days of Charles J. a “Book of Sports” was drawn up specifying what recreations should be allowed after sundown on Sunday, ‘We have inherited these tendencies and can no more escape them than the hound can escape his own shadow. We vibrate between Itberty and authority without any clear clue to the under- lying principle. There is a difference, however, between our atmosphere and that of any past.age. It is no longer possible to compel the people to come to church. No pope, bishop or con- ‘enticle would attempt to legislate for the.modern man, determining Yor him how the hours of bis Sunday shall be spent. In our time the average man's amind, on this question, oscillates be- tween a religious and a hedonistic view of Sunday observance. Though we “have lost beyond recall some of the ld sanctions for Sunday observance, ‘we still retain the sense of Its religious character, but associated with this loss of {ts formal authority, there has grown ‘up a disposition to follow pleasure, one's own pleasure, as the sole cri- terion of liberty with regard to the fit- test way to “keep” the Sunday. ‘This divergence of view raises the question as to the true religious prin- eiples which underlle the whole prob- Tem, tliose principles, 1 mean, which seem to have survived the changes: of the centuries. These are, in the main, three: 44, Sunday fs the Lord's day par ex- cellence.

It {s a day of spiritual réfreshment, properly accompanied, therefore, by the eucharistic feast, and attains a troly Christian and religious, character from these aesoclations. No | changes of rubric or adminietration can alter this fundamental fact about Sunday. Whatever authority this day possesses in the eyes of civilized and Christian people {s derived from the fact that it is the Lord's day in a ‘peculiar sense.

Times have changed. Some work on the Lord's day 1s unavoldable. {There te also a difference between thé indul- gence in pleasurable amusements on Sunday in the case of a rich man and ble family, who have abundant oppor- tunity for this during the week, and thoae who are closely confined in of- fice,,in factory or in mine during the same period. We cannot draw any hard and fast lines, perhaps, but {t 1s mant- festly unfair for the rich to go to church once a week, or very rarely, and expect theSchurch to be crowded by the working classed. ‘The question of Sunday amusements ts a delicate one, where eo much de- pends on a nice sense of the balance between liberty and authority. One thing is certain, The man who does not go to church once on every Bun- day of the year misses his greatest re- Ugious opportunity to develop his per- sonality In a system of sound spiritual habits. Sunday worehip 1s the best guarantee of true spiritual liberty wo possess. It fs the Lord's day, but tt 1a made for man, for his lberation from the tyranny of sin and for bis initia- tion into the fullness and power of eternal life. It fs for Kim to make it so. Sunday need not be a day of dull- ness or tedious routine if efforts are put forth to realize these princfples. Charles Kingsley used to play cricket with the lads of Eversley parish in the afternoons of Sunday, but insisted on their attendance at church as 2 quid pro quo, We have all known boys who have given up church-golng, too, because they had too much of it at home, or in choo}, or in church. In all this, how clear ft {s that we need to reconcile Iberty with authority and find a way by which thelr claims can be met! ‘This way becomes clear as soon as we bring our problem to the supreme test of the teaching and example of Jesus. This 1s our final court of ap- peel: What would Jesus do? He sald, “It ye love me, keep my command- mente.” The whole question of Sun- @ay observance hinges on this one pomnt. If we strive to follow in his footsteps, If we listen to his teaching, it we would base our thoughts and ac- tlons on the broad and simple, yet comprehensive, lines which he incul- cated both by bis words and acta; if we let our love go out to meet the in- finite love of which he was the em- Dodiment, there will-be no difficulty in solving thels problem of Sunday ob- ‘servance, There will be no necessity ‘to diecuss whether it {s right or wrong ‘to motor, or golf, or cycle, or play baseball or tennis on thp Lord’s day. ‘The question each of us will ask Ja: “am I helping or hindering the cause of my Master?” Above all, we must ‘constantly beer n mind the apostolic injanction, which will enable us to ar- rive at a speedy and satisfactory de- cision whenever any doubts assail us: “Whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory, of God,"* Rev, HENRY DAVIS, B.D, Ph.D. | DELAWARE AND ALABAMA, - When, Joseph’F.

There are many prophecies of the Bible that have not been fulfilled as yet, but they will be In thelr fime, fust aa so many have been fulfilled slready. Fulfilled Prophecy 1s one of God's. own seals upon the Inspiration of the Bible. The infidels in the church, und out of it, have done thelr best ta read the prophécles out of the Bible and thetr fulfliment out of history; but they have failed utterly. Some of the ar guments thet they have ventured upon in thelr desperation are pitiably lu- dicrous. ‘They eerve to illustrate what fools wise men become when they undertake to fight against God (Rom, 1:22). What a remarkable way God took to fulfill his own word! He first brings to the front a man not yet born when the prophecy was made, and then puts it into his heart to fulfill his word. “The Lord atirred up the spirit of Cyrus.” God has a strange but mighty way of moving upon the hearts of men, He can Prompt a king to help his people (Prov. 21:1; Ezra 7:27; 6:22)" He can put {t Into the heart of a rich man to send help to a poor man Just at the hour of his need.

This fs 2 very different theory of inspiration from that which fs popular with "ad- vanced thinkers” today, but it is the true theory, as history abundantly dem- onstrates. “The Lord God of heaven hath given me all the kingdoms of the earth.” Cyrus was a wise man to recognize the source of his power.

He called atten- tlon that they had , acquired since freedom something orgr $200,000.00 in personal and real property; and these facts show that’ no negro should be discouraged because of prejudice and discrimination by many of the American people. Perbaps the most significant feature of this distinguished sermon was the possible disclosure of what might be termed the International Mission wug- gested by the presence of the negro In the midst of the American people. The author of the sermon was {9- ‘clined to the view that it was the pos- sible destiny of the American negro, who had attained the highest stafus in his race, to return after a timg to ‘Afflea and’ bring the. millioxs of the African race Into possession off tho Intellecatai, material. and social wealth and -power of ‘western know!- edge and culture.

BUSINESS CHANCES FOR THE NEGRO — 7. WASHINGTON SEES NEGRO’'S CHANCE FOR A CAREER IN THE SOUTH. Booker T, Washington, with a full knowledge of conditions in the South both as relates to the whites and the blacks, sees right there In the South the educated’ Negro’s chance for s career, Jf he bas in im the faculty for work, added to some training, there is a field waiting for him to work, with a need for him eo definite that the rowarda of success are walt: Ing to be gathered In. When Dh Washington ‘presents statistics In the round numbers of thousands, the speech is not to be estimated as generalities, but as Yacts well within conservative bounds. So there should have been Inspiration for the Negra students to whom he was speaking, and there should be enlightenment and encouragement for all Negroes, Jn ‘this statement: That there are opentogs in the South for ‘at least eight thousand additional grocery stores, for thirty-five hundred drug stores, for two thousand shoe stores. two thousand millinery stores, and for two thousand Negro banks. There aro individual locations in the South for at least twenty-five hundred addl- tlonal doctors, three thousand pharma- clsts, two thousand dentists, and a thousand veterinary surgeons, As for the need of school teachers fn the South, a million and a half of Negro children do not go to school at all and hundreds of thousands go ‘only for three months out of the twelye. The need exists, Dr. Wash- Ington says, for twenty thousand ad- ditional schoot teachers for school houses not yet built. He does not say that the money Is waiting to bulld these school houses or that’ It could be easily secured; but the bis- tory of the educational movement In the South in the past forty’ years is full of proofs pf what a determined teacher can, accomplish In the direc tion of opening up hiinself a fleld in which to work while he at the same time secures benefit to ‘the com- munity he serves. Still another line ot opportunity exisis, though open to ‘a more limited group, in the fact that ‘there ‘are places In the South where ‘at least seventy-five” relfgoverning, self-directing towns or eltles might be ‘established by colored people who ‘could have thelr own mayor and alder- men and ‘thelr own self-government trom every polnt of view.

The boys will soon be awake, especially those who are only active when the time comes to select delegates to a convention. Our editorial last week calling upon parents to prevent the boys and girls from roaming the streets at night, found an able echo in the energetic pastor of the Second Baptist Church, who made it more impressive. If all of our pastors would do likewise, much good would be accomplished for the moral uplift of the community. We noticed in Thursday morning's paper that superintendent Ashmore recognizes the right of all parents to have their children in the schools and that he has endeavored to solve the problem to the best interests of parents and children. We trust that this applies to the Negroes as well as to the whites and that some ample provision will be made to accommodate the many hundred Negro children who have been denied the privilege of school. We have just received a copy of the yearly report of Tuskegee Institute for the year ending May thirty first, nineteen hundred and eleven. It is a very interesting document and gives a very comprehensive idea of the great work carried on by this school, the most famous industrial school known. It gives the attendance for last year, the agricultural work carried on, the trades taught and makes mention of the growth of the Nurse Training department established in 1892. The Four Fundamental Needs of the school are made known as are also the financial standing of the school, the religious work carried on and the summary of Some Present Needs. It has been reported authentically that a mob of white men entered the G. S. and F. depot at Vienna., Ga., on Saturday night, and killed an old and inoffensive colored man, and mercilessly whipped the other colored persons who were around. It is said that the men engaged in the murderous and cowardly assault are known, but no arrests have been made. It can be feelingly exclaim; "How long, O Lord, will such heinous crimes be permitted to continue?" Vienna is a small town in Dooly County, in the heart of the cotton belt where laborers are so badly needed in order to gather the fieecy staple. Is it a wonder that laborers are scarce in these districts? Crimes against them similar to the one above noted, have driven them from the cotton fields. We call upon the law loving citizens of Georgia to stop this lawlessness in the State, and the people of Dooly County should see that the assaulters of these inoffensive persons be brought to justice. Every business should place a standard of value upon the particular thing or goods it is endeavoring to sell. If it is a newspaper and it is attempting to sell its advertising space it should have a standard price to charge for such space and should stick to it. It is just as necessary for a newspaper to have a set price for its space per inch as it is for a grocer to fix a price upon the goods he is selling. In the one case the merchant derives his income from the revenues accruing from the sale of sugar, grits, butter and the other goods he is carrying while the newspaper must get its support from the advertising space it has for sale and unless it charges a reasonable standard price for this space it cannot hope to receive recognition at the hands of the public or other business enterprises. For sometime past we have known of a newspaper that was charging for its advertising space anywhere from ten to thirty five cents per inch a month, and was collecting but very little of this, but recently we were astounded to learn that this paper had gone one step farther and had accepted in payment for an advertisement a slice of bacon and two cigars, the latter Virginia cheroots, which the editor and his congenial manager puffed on with the air of men who had brought to a successful consummation a thousand dollar deal. Such unbusiness like methods as this are detrimental not only to the business adopting them but they are a reflection upon the whole race. It is a very poor policy for a man in business to set a price upon a commodity which he has for sale and then accept any old thing which is offered. It is equally as injurious and unbusiness like for a man who is running a supposedly respectable business to be ignorant of of the prices he should charge for his goods. A merchant must know his goods through and through, if his business is to be a success and a newspaper man must have a definite knowledge of the real value of his advertising space and must stick to it if his paper is to bring him the greatest financial returns and at the same time be of some value to the community. For the good of Negro journalism and for the good of all Negro business enterprises we should advise this particular paper and all others that are guilty of using such unprincipled methods to give them up and assist in the upward march of the race by putting their own business on a just and firm basis.

During the week there has appeared a very interesting directory of the Negroes of Savannah. The book is one of valuable information to the Negroes of the city and gives many interesting facts. It contains a list of the Colored churches, educational reports, vital and criminal statistics, sketches of some prominent Negroes of the city, together with a list of the Negro property holders and business men. There are also cuts of some of the prominent men shown. The work is the production of Mr. Whitter H. Wright son of Prof. R.R. Wright of the Georgia State College. The book is sold for the small price of twenty five cents. Beach Opening. Beach Institute opened Tuesday October 3rd with an enrollment of one hundred and twenty-five. More will enter later. The school will be conducted this year on the same general plan as last year and very few changes will be made in the courses of study. It is hoped that sometimes during this year a twelfth grade may be added to the course. At present the school is doing the equivalent of three years high school work. The addition of a twelfth grade would bring the school up to the high school standard. Two science studies, physics and chemistry, have been added to the course and one hundred dollars has been appropriated to purchase apparatus. A laboratory for physics and chemistry will be arranged and equipped in the near future. It is planned to carry on the work of the industrial classes in a somewhat broader and more thorough manner than formerly. The industrial work will include cooking and serving for the girls and wood-working for the boys and will be compulsory in all the grades above the sixth. IN HIS HOLY TEMPLE.

In loving remembrance of my husband, Deacon H. R. JACKSON, who departed this life Oct. 6th, 1909. Two years ago the chain was severed, And our hearts were made sore, Sorrowed and distressed, When he who dwelt with us* And wielded his words of love Was stricken with affliction. Two years ago the chain was severed, Yes servered in our home, By the Lord of love who dwells above And watches o'er his own. With word o'er cheer he left us here To join that celestial band, That dwells with God alone. Two years have passed But still we miss thee who left me three years ago, October 5th, 1908.

God moves In a mysterious way his wonders to perform, and he Jald the foundations of all clviliza- tion in human slavery and gave the world the foundation of all, law through the agency of a man bdrm in slavery: It required more than 400 years of slavery in Egypt to work out theSSians of God in providing 2 clvil- tration and a salvation that gradually opened to all men, and who knows for what purpose slavery was allowed in this land of the free and the home of the brave? “Born in a home surrounded by slavery, I never drew one breath of sympathy with slavery in any form, ‘but as I have thought of {t through the years, I have come to see that negro slavery In the United States might be made to serve more than ‘one good purpose. “Who knows but what, after all, the negro may be the means of pre- serving the {deals on which our gov- ernment rests? For nearly fifty years a tide of immigration from all races and natlons has been flooding our shores with stronger sweep than the overflow of Vandals and Goths + and ‘Vistgoths that once swept over parts ‘of Europe, bringing with them con- fileting {deas, of moral and govern- ment that threaten the very founda- tion of our efvilization. : “During all this time the negro— as a color Hine has stood, saying to these invaders, thus far, no farther, and ag a’ result the old slave states stand today the champion of the ideals from which our nation sprung. In the midst of conflict and prefudice the negro, unconséfously and silently, has stood as a wall of fire round about the home of his slave days, mal ing St impossible for thoughts of an- archy and disloyalty to the American fdea to find sofl fn which it sought to grow. “When God gave the promise Abra- harg littla dreamed that the way to its jfulfllment lay through four bun- dred years of slavery for his own people; and yet such was the case. ‘Tho: highway to -the temple lay through the land of Goshen and the road was paved with bricks made bY the!.hands of those who inherited in theSpromised land. “In the great division of the world Africa—the largest and” most fertile portion~became the Inheritance of thelnegro, but for some reason un- kndwn to us he bas nerer improved ‘or Enjoyed It, Who knows but that God,tri*his wisdom may use American slavery as @ means of Iitting up Ethi- opia?

But all proper women have not cared a jot, And. they. do not care today. * One cannot, of course, speak-of the great, part women have played even in helping men to accompiisb what they have. The hovering care of woman, the maternal side of her, Is ‘a thing lacking phrases and words to express it without appearing to be sentimental, Probably that ia due to the fact that men, having appointed themselves lords of language as of others things, have forgotten to in- vent other than maudlin word com- binations for the expression -of the mother spirit, Men are so sentl- mental, much more so than women, and most of what they hase written about this subject reminds one of the ‘wordy enthustasm ot:a drunken man for the mother he neglects when sober. Men have been absurdly dependent upon women even in thelr follies; man might be described as the an{mat which is always tled to 2 woman's apron strings. Women brood over men not only in childhood, fn youth; but always, Men only admit this sentimentally, or else, with shame, and probably this is because that to ad? mit this power of mothering {s to admit the existence of a greater power than he himself possesses. But abore all objections to woman's powér on the part of man is the great objection to woman's personaliems. “Women will never make comrades of legislators (or any cther old thing) because thes cannot be imper- sonal,” that 1s the eternal éry of de parting man, Alas! the stupidity of it!

TELLS OF THE POWER OF UNITED EFFORT BAILING UPON TROUBLESOME WATERS IN UPWARD STRUGGLE—ILLUSTRATION ON RACE CO-OPERATION. Little Rock, Ark.—One of the most forceful and enjoyable addresses heard at the recent National Negro Business league convention was delivered by Prof. H. T. Kealing, principal of Western university, Quindaro, Kan. Professor Kealing was heartily applauded when he said: "What the negro needs, in a constant increasing degree, is the help of his own kind. I don't care how much inspiration comes to us from other sources. Self-help, self-reliance and strength must come to us from seeing what our own people are doing and what they can do." Professor Kealing's address Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen: There is one thing that is not debated from this platform (except by Bishop Cottrell, who has just preceded me) and that is eloquence. Aside from the excellent and practical speeches which have been delivered to this convention by some of our race's best business men., successful bankers, prosperous farmers, capable editors and the like, you have just had a liberal dose of eloquence administered by our learned bishop, and I shall make no effort to follow in his oratorial footsteps, even if I could. I merely want to tell you, as briefly as I can what this Business league means to me, or what I think it means to the race, and what I think it means to the nation. It has, first of all, discovered us to ourselves. For fourteen years I traveled all over the United States, surprising myself at every little town and hamlet by finding unheard of negroes who were successful in business and who were noted, in their respective communities, for their wealth, their enterprise, their public spirit and sterling character. Influence of the National Negro Business League. When the National Negro Business league came into existence twelve years ago in the city of Boston, for the first time it brought together from the farm and plantation, from the carpenter's bench and workshop, from the store, the counting house and manufactory a number of successful members of our race for mutual help and inspiration, where they might give and get a great schooling in racial progress, where they might let each other know what progress of various kinds was being made by negroes in their several communities, and where, in this way, each delegate could go back home and let all know what the whole race was achieving. In this way great good has been accomplished, for the negro is beginning to find himself out, is beginning to know himself better, and to have more confidence in himself as well as more respect for his race. Secondly, I want to say, this league has stimulated business enterprises that were already established, and created new business enterprises among members of our race that never would have come into existence but for the direct or indirect influence of this league. Thirdly, it has stimulated the inventive genius of the negro, so that you have upon this platform today the model of a cotton-chopping machine (invented by L. D. Moore of Little Rock), which will scrape both sides of the row, chop it out and dirt it all at the same time, thus evidencing the activity of the negro's brain and vindicating the wise policy of this great association and its worthy founder, who says: "Put your brains to work as well as your hands," and so we have at this convention a negro cotton-chopper, scraper and dirter to make an eloquent speech to you, the design of which is to save so much cotton chopping by our women of the south. On the plantations, in the homes, on the streets and railroads, and in the mines and factories of the southland we see abundant use and employment of the negro's brawn and muscle, but I tell you, gentlemen, whenever the negro reaches that stage of development that he puts his brain to work as well as his hands, there is no power on earth that can pull him down. A man passing through the country came upon a negro who was bareheaded and busily engaged on a rock pile—breaking rock for a living under a hot sun. "My friend," said the traveler, "aren't you afraid you will get brain fever working there on that rock pile, bareheaded, beneath the burning sun?" With his face all wet with perspiration, and a characteristic smile upon his countenance, the black man looked up and quickly replied: "Brain fever, boss? Do you suppose if I had any brains I would be working at this here job?" Now, my friends, what the negro wants to do is to learn, through this league, and through the lesson that is being so effectively taught by its president and founder, to put more brains into whatever he is doing, to put more brains into his farm work, more brains into his business, more brains into his home life, in order that he may draw therefrom the full measure and benefit of useful living. And then again, this league is showing the negro how he can take ad- vantage of the opportunities that lie at his door. It is constantly illustrating to him in a concrete way how to use his humble circumstances as a stepping stone to rise above and better his condition. There's a way out of every difficulty, there's a way over every obstacle, if we are ingenious, watchful, industrious and patient enough to find the way. Just a few days ago I came to a river where they had an old-fashioned ferryboat. I noticed that whenever the captain wanted to cross the river to a point directly opposite on the other shore, he would always head his vessel upstream where, it would seem at first glance, he was going in a course that would lead him away from the place of his destination. That little incident taught me a valuable lesson, for I pretty soon found out that by heading his boat upstream he finally got the full benefit of the current and was really enabled the more easily to reach the wharf on the other side. Had he turned his boat at right angles, he would have drifted with the current and would surely have been carried far below the point which he desired. And so it is in our individual as well as our racial life—if we would cross the river and reach the goal we must head our vessels upstream and not be afraid of the current of difficulties. This National Negro Business league has not only justified its existence by revealing from year to year remarkable instances of self-help and business achievement, but if the nogro race will only follow in the wake of its teaching, "it will take you where you'e gwine"—as Doctor Washington so pleasingly puts it. Some time ago, while down at Galveston, I was invited to go out fishing in a sailboat. Being very fond of both fishing and sailing (though not proficient in either) I readily accepted the invitation. I had hardly stepped into the boat before the wind was right astern and we went speeding out on the gulf from Galveston. After a host pleasant and successful day's outing, we began to make the journey homeward. My friend in charge of the boat soon found out that we would have to sail into Galveston harbor against the wind. Just as soon as the sails were holsted, instead of pointing his boat toward Galveston, he beaded her in a different direction and I wondered how we would be able to reach Galveston by following that course. The wind was strong and the sails were full. The waters leaped and dashed in fiendish glee as if they were eager to capsize our frail barque, but the boatsman, not the least bit perturbed, cried out his orders to the crew, and every once in a while I would hear him say: "Luffer! Luffer!" Of course I did not understand what that meant, but I could soon see the progress which the boat was making, for I noticed we had reached a point nearly opposite to Galveston. Then after a series of "luffering," "facking," "zlgzagging" and the like, in due time we reached Galveston harbor, all safe and sound, without the slightest injury to boat or passengers. Our race is likewise "in a boat." We are sailing upon troublesome waters, for this is a critical period in our upward struggle. We have set our eyes upon and are determined to reach the homeward harbor of success; that is especially true of the members of this league. But notwithstanding the headwinds of opposition, or the rolling current of competition, or the frail barque of our limited resources, we have men aboard who are not afraid to "sail in" against difficulties, men aboard who understand the elements of real progress and, under that great captain of negro advancement and economic development, Booker T. Washington, who is the "luffer" of his people, we will reach the port in due time. I want to say that this institution stands for the co-operation of the negro along a line that was never before attempted. I was a member of the defunct Afro-American council when it held meetings in various cities of this country in order to protest against wrongs and injustices perpetrated upon us, and in order to make big speeches and addresses and pass high-sounding resolutions, which never got before the public as we wanted. I finally became convinced that we were accomplishing but little if anything. Then I saw another star rising above the horizon. It was the National Negro Business league. I saw they had gotten together negro farmers, merchants, bankers, inventors, teachers, doctors, lawyers, for the purpose of discussing matters of vital importance to the welfare of our race and nation. And I noticed that even the reporters listened attentively and reported accurately their utterances and what transpired daily in their meetings. The papers began to change their tone; they began to say: "The negro people are rising in the scale of civilization, not through the process of simply holding indignation metings, but by the irresistible power of self-help; they are not merely pleading for others to help them and grant them sympathy and compassion, but they, as a race, are striving in a practical way to help themselves!" And indeed, my friends, self-help is the only kind of help that is capable of making us a people worthy of the world's respect and deserving of a place in the history of races. Outside help may cheer us, but that alone will never give us backbone, and no man can stand upon his feet and walk unless he has a backbone. We need and must have the sympathy and cooperation of each other; that, next to self-help, is the most important factor in the solution of our problem. And, in this connection, I am forcibly. minded of a little story they tell about the elephant and the partridge nest. It is said an elephant was out grazing one day and as he walked about in the tall grass he came upon a nest of young partridges. Inadvertently he stepped upon and crushed the mother bird. The story goes that when the elephant saw the mother bird was dead, and that there was no one to take her place, he became very sorry, and in pity looked down upon the dead bird and said: "Poor thing; I have killed you; I didn't mean to do it; and poor little orphan birds without any mother, I am so sorry for you. Now that your mother is dead you will have no one to brood you, to nestle you under her wings; no one to feed you and teach you the shrill sweet notes of your kind. I really feel sorry for you, poor little orphan birds, and even if you have no mother to sit on you, I will take her place—I will sit on you, little birds, I will sit on you." I can't believe that that kind of help did those birds any good. What those birds wanted was help from birds like themselves. And what the negro wants, in a constantly increasing degree, is the help of his own kind. I don't care how much inspiration comes to us from other sources, self-help, self-reliance and strength must come to us from seeing what our own people are doing and what they can do. And now, then, in conclusion, I want to do what one of my friends asked me to do by way of illustration. I refer to R. L. Smith of Texas. I have used this illustration a hundred times to show our people the wonderful power of united effort and how little money is required to make a great race rich. It illustrates just what cooperation along race lines in business is going to do for us, even though we do not control the great money markets of the world. Let me show you how the members of our race can use their money for their own best benefit and at the same time help and inspire other business enterprises—possibly producing negro millionaires within a very short time. Now here, for instance, are three men—Doctor Washington, Hon. J. C. Napier and myself—these three men representing the whole negro race (for the sake of illustration) so far as interchange of values is concerned. Now I owe Doctor Washington three dollars. (That is only supposition, however.) Doctor Washington owes Mr. Napier three dollars, and Mr. Napier owes me three dollars. (I am sorry that is not a reality.) Remember there are nine dollars owing in that debt, three parties involved, and let us say that there is only one dollar in the crowd and I have that dollar (which is a pretty big supposition). Only one dollar in circulation. Being anxious to pay my debt to Doctor Washington, I go to him like an honest man and give him that one dollar on account; that leaves two dollars which I still owe him. Then Doctor Washington hands the dollar over to Mr. Napier an account, leaving two dollars left on his indebtedness to Mr. Napier. Then Mr. Napier comes in and pays me one dollar on account, leaving a balance due me from Mr. Napier of two dollars. Now I take that same dollar and go to Doctor Washington and I say to him: "Here is another dollar of the two dollars balance I owe you; this leaves only one dollar I owe you now." Doctor Washington goes to Mr. Napler and likewise cancels another dollar of his indebtedness, leaving one dollar still due. Mr. Napler gladly comes to me and hands that dollar over to me leaving a balance due by him to me of only one dollar. Now, as the matter stands, I owe Doctor Washington one dollar. Doctor Washington owes Mr. Napler one dollar, and Mr. Napler owes me one dollar. Now with that last dollar Mr. Napler gave me I pay off my entire indebtedness to Doctor Washington, who in turn cancels his indebtedness to Mr. Napler, and Mr. Napler comes to me (like a good financier that he is) and squares up his entire debt with that dollar. So you see there has been nine dollars' worth of debts paid with that one dollar. How was it done? Simply by keeping that dollar traveling in a circle—as it ought to do among members of our race. Suppose, instead of taking that dollar to Doctor Washington, I had handed it to a man outside the circle, one who had no interest in the circle, my debt would not have been paid until I found another dollar, and likewise the debts of others would have still remained outstanding, but see what you can accomplish when you keep your dollars in proper circulation! Now you put the negro grocer in that circle, and the negro shoemaker, and the negro furniture dealer, the negro dry goods merchant, the negro seamstress, the negro doctor—put all the business enterprises that humanity and civilization require in that circle, and keep a little money circulating therein, and I tell you that every time a dollar goes around it will lift each one of you a dollar out of debt. I heartily congratulate you upon your strong and growing organization and bid you Godspeed in the good work which you are doing. Long may the Business league live and prosper, and may it continue, in an ever-increasing degree, to perform its high mission of instilling confidence in ourselves and in each other, and, in a thoroughly practical and helpful way, win that respect for our race which it would be difficult to obtain in any other way than by showing what our race is actually achieving. Some women are nondescripts because they haven't yet decided between the short-waisted styles, or the long Parisian waists, and that sort never does.

BOOTT, Proprietress Modern Man Must Do Many Things Before He Is Ready for Breakfast. "Life is too short to sleep," says Mr. Edison. Most of us, however, seem to need sleep. The inventor is more practical when he adds, "It takes me one minute to undress at night, 40 seconds to fall asleep and two minutes to dress in the morning." It takes other people longer to dress and undress, and maybe that is why there is but one Edison. Nowadays it does not suffice to doff night and don day raiment. Dressing in the morning is a rite an houg or more long. One must swing dumbbells, and have a shower, and brush his teeth, and gargle his throat, and spray his nose, and rub his gums with magnesia, and shave, and apply witch hazel, and knead his scalp, and use an eye cup, and eat quinine for a cold coming or going, and uncork liniment for some local ailment. Most of these processes are undertaken to promote health, preserve youth and postpone old age. They are like lifting one's self over a fence by the boot straps. They fill the first hour after sleep with fussy activities and bring the subject to breakfast tired out. While he is priming, youth passes and old age arrives. If one will not do as Mr. Edison does, better take a leaf from Garfield's example—he read - the classics while shaying—and equip the bathroom with wall charts and improving books, oilcloth bound. New York World. I "Yes, sir; he's a man of sterling integrity. His character never has been assailed. "What?" "I say his character has never been assailed." "Then he never has been in politics." QUICK ON THE TRIGGER. At the risk of cutting off his regular morning tonic, every right-thinking man must have a sense that conditions would be improved in this land of the brave and home of the free if the merry little pistol were not so conveniently accessible at all times. Under stress of passion or in the presence of apparent danger the most peace-loving are at times capable of committing homicide, in what they believe to be the protection of their life, their honor or their property. But the protection assured through the instrumentality of firearms is generally more fancied than real. Honor, particularly, is shattered far more often than it is preserved through recourse to the gun, which has brought death in more than one instance to an innocent victim, and left the survivor a life of bitter but unavailing remorse. Washington Post. MISUNDERSTOOD. They were discussing the Greenhagen case in a Brooklyn trolley car. He was a sturdy German and his companion was evidently his wife. "I hope the little girl don't die from the poisoned candy," said the woman. "Where did she get it?" asked the man. "This paper says it was gift candy." "She knew it was gift and took it—she can't get my sympathy," said the man; and his wife, better versed in English than he, had to explain that "gift," which is poison in German, has a different meaning in the vernacular.—New York Tribune. SAD FEELINGS. "Jaggsby takes even his pleasures sadly." "He does?" "Yes, and to such an extent that when he goes on a spree, he never sees green serpents, pink monkeys or purple elephants, like other fellows; he sees nothing but black snakes." Washing a White Pique Waistcoat Remove the buttons with a sharp hatchet, and wash the waistcoat with any soap that is advertised. If there are spots on the garment which do not belong there, use a small scrub brush and white sand. If this does not take them out, dip the waistcoat into hot naphtha. The principal time to be careful is in the drying of the thing. Waistcoats should never be hung on a line or clothes horse, but, to preserve their shape, must be dried on the person. Put on the waistcoat while it is wet and stand in front of the fire. Revolve very slowly until it is partly dry, and then go into a dark closet and shut the door. White goods must be dried in the dark. Keep on revolving. As the material shrinks, inflate your lungs to the fullest extent, or, if you are sufficiently puffed up with pride, this will not be necessary. Homemade Neckties—Very pretty white neckties may be made from ordinary lamp wicks. Choose the flat kind, buying a sufficient number to make the necktie long enough.

The natural color of the wick may be used with duck or white serge suits, but for evening wear the wick should be dyeed black.—Judge's Library. HONORS TO THEIR COUNTRY Old Malda Gain Due Recognition In New Orleans Movement for Their Ald. "Honor the old maids, for they are worth more in push, ability and character than the mollycoddles they are replacing right and left every day." Such was the announcement made a few days ago by an organizer of the movement to aid spinsters. Since that time more than 500 letters of appreciation have reached him. One of the latest letters, from Chicago, reads: "I read the surprising announcement that a man is championing the cause of the 'old maid.' I am glad to see that a business man is taking this stand and telling whoever can and will read that the woman who is forced to carn her living, or is doing it through choice, has the push, ability and character necessary to insure her an independent and happy life, without waiting for some impossibility to marry her." The man who wrote that letter is a gentleman in two places, and we doff our hat to him in reverence and respect. And, returning to the subject of women who work for a living, why they're queens of love, light and liberty and an honor to their country. New Orleans Picayune. ABDUL HAMID'S JEWELS. One of the most remarkable auctions ever held in Paris is to take place toward the end of November, namely, the sale of the jewels formerly belonging to the former sultan, Abdul Hamid. It will be remembered that when Abdul was deposed the Ottoman government seized this property as belonging to the nation. Since then they have been stored with the Imperial Ottoman bank, but now the government intends to apply the proceeds of its sale to the purpose of increasing the Turkish fleet. The collection is very large and varied, and contains a large number of magnificent pieces, although some what barbaric to modern tastes. DIVISION-OF LABOR. There were points of resemblance between Mrs. Hammond and the lilies of the field; she had married a young man who had a good salary, but she herself had never earned a penny in her life; nor had she been blessed with well-to-do parents. "We have a joint account in the National Fountain bank," she announced to one of her friends, when she had been married a few months. "It is such fun to pay bills by check." "What do you mean by a joint account?" asked the incredulous friend "Do you put in equal sums?" "Oh, I don't put in any," said Mra Hammond. "Will put it in and I draw it out?"-Youth's Companion. QUITE'EVIDENT. "I found a rare biography of Amerigo Vespucci in a book store yesterday." "I'm not interested very much in the lives of Italian bandmasters." AMONG THE MASONS. Very often have we received reports from some of the lodges about the visit of some deceptive Masons. These Visits are generally made to the lodges in the rural districts. Again we beg the officers of all lodges to be careful whom they admit in the lodge room. Take not their gibl words and manifestations. If they have not the proper proof of standing, turn them down. Have you sent in the orphan home assessment? Do so at once. Next month will be the month of thanksgiving. It would be a blessed thing for each lodge to remember the poor orphans at Americus by donating a small sum in order that they, too, may enjoy a sumptuous dinner. Such gifts tend to broaden us and sweeten our lives, and in the same time we are helping others that are deserving. A large number of the brethren have written the Grand.Patron of the Eastern Star for information in order to organize Eastern Star Chapters. In each case full information has been given. We would like to have an Eastern Star Chapter wherever there is a lodge established. Mrs. Hester B. Sales, Royal Matron of Electa Chapter, and Brother J. F. Andrews, were deputized by the Grand Chapter and they set up a flourishing chapter at McIntosh a few weeks ago. The membership was large and from outlooks it will prove one of our best chapters. Let us make an effort to bring in all the non-affiliates. Let us as Masons ever stand for that which is truest and best. The influence of Masonry is felt more strongly today than ever before. Masonry is a progressive science. Let us move steadily upward and onward. A good Mason must be more than a good ritualist. He must be a true man, one who is faithful in the discharge of every duty. A Mason's Duty. There are certain matters connected with Masonry that are proper subjects for discussion in the family. Information as to the character of the organization, its aims, objects, etc., should be conveyed by a member of the craft to his family. Misunderstandings sometimes arise on account of the fact that a number of Masons neglect to make full explanation to their families of how to proceed in case of death. A Masonic lodge conducts the funeral service over the deceased brother only at the request of the family. It is in no sense an insurance organization, and the lodge is not liable for any expense incurred by the family. The erroneous idea that a Masonic lodge pay all the funeral expenses and that it takes charge of the funeral regardless of the wishes of the family is created on account of neglect of duty on the part of some Masons. This places the Master and officers of a lodge in an embarrassing position, and at a time when a proper explanation is next to impossible. Only on the request of the family of a deceased brother are the officers of a lodge empowered to act. In case the family are unable to bear the funeral expenses, then the lodge makes proper provisions. The Master or secretary of a lodge are the proper officers to be notified in case of death, but in the event that they are out of the city or cannot be reached, any officer can receive the notification and convey it to the ranking officer. It is the duty of every Mason, old and new, to inform himself on questions of this character and convey the information to his family. Every Masonic lodge owes a certain duty to every Mason's family, and, in turn, every Mason's family has a duty to perform toward the lodge. Unless the Mason explains the relation of the family to the lodge annoying mistakes are liable to occur, and do occur. The most unfortunate and peculiar feature of this matter is that these mistakes or misunderstandings do not occur more frequently in the families of the inactive and uninformed members than they do in the active and intelectual members' families. Where light and Masonic knowledge are expected to be found, ignorance and confusion is discovered. It is a very easy matter to remedy this by a little exertion on the part of the members of the craft—Masonic Chronicle. The First "Lady in Trade." Perhaps the most notable instance on record of the feminine street trader is that of the "white-widow," otherwise the duchess of Ty, connell, the Frances Joannings of the De Grammont memoirs, who, at the time of the revolution in 1838, according to Horace Walpole, "being reduced to absolute want on her arrival in England and unable for some time to procure secret access to her family, hired one of thy stalls under the Royal Exchange and maintained herself by the sale of small articles of haberdashery. She wore a white dress wrapping her whole person and a white msk, which she never removed, and excited much interest and curiosity."—London Chronicle. The Pursuit of Letters.
