The Savannah VOLUME XXVII. THE WORLD-WIDE MOVE FOR PEACE Theodore Marburg Addresses Conference. AMERICA "MOTHER OF PEACE" Baltimorean Sets Forth a Plan To Get the Nations To Come Into An International Court—America the Mother Of Peace. Cincinnati, O.-Halling America as the "Mother of Peace," the third annual conference of the Society for the Judicial Settlement. of International Disputes ended here with an elaborate banquet at the Business Men's Club, at which Secretary of State Philander C. Knox was the principal speaker. Among the guests were Mrs. Wm. Howard Taft and Miss Helen Taft, wife and daughter of the President of the United States and honorary president of the society. Former United States Senator Joseph Benson Foraker acted as toastmaster. Mr. Knox spoke on the arbitration treaties between the United States and Great Britain and the United States and France. Other addresses were made by Samuel J. Elder, United States Counsel North Atlantic Fisheries Arbitration; Charles W. Dabney, president of the University of Cincinnati; John Temple Graves, of the New York American, and the Rev. David Phillipson, of Cincinnati, all of whom spoke on the general subject of peace. Mr. Theodore Marburg, of Baltimore, in an address, referred to the difficulty of getting the victims to come into the international court after it has been established, recalling the fact that our Supreme Court waited five years for its first case. He suggested, therefore, the task of paving the way for its functioning and proposed as a direct way the conclusion of treaties under which the nations agree to submit their disputes to tribunals of arbitration and of law. Two principal channels suggest themselves through which this movement may conceivably flow: First—A common mondial treaty of compulsory arbitration for all nations, either all-inclusive or limited to a certain category of cases. Second—Treaties by countries in pairs, whether all-inclusive in their scope or similarly limited. The election of officers followed, with these results: President, Simeon E. Baldwin, Hartford, Conn.; vicepresident, Joseph Choate, New York; secretary, Theodore Marburg, Baltimore; treasurer, J. G. Schmidlapp, Cincinnati; executive committee, John Hays Hammond, Simeon E. Baldwin, Theodore Marburg, Henry B. McFarland, W. W. Willoughby and James Brown Scott. EACH PARTY SSES HOPE. The Washington Politicians Get Much Consolation. Washington.—Politicians in Washington after closely analyzing the results of Tuesday's election, generally concede that it somewhat complicated the presidential outlook, with about equal advantages for Republicans and Democrats. Their views are about as badly mixed as were the returns, but all parties profess to find consolation in the outcome. The fact that local issues entered into the various campaigns makes it difficult to use the results as a basis for accurate forecast. Republicans say the overturning of the legislatures in New Jersey and New York and the character of the chief magistracy of Maryland protend Republican victory next year. Democrats point to the revolt in such cities as Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Columbus and innumerable smaller towns, and the re-election of Foss in Massachusetts, as a harbinger of party success next year and indicative of the trend of the popular mind against the party in power. W. L. Houser, in charge of the Progressive Republican League, or La Follette headquarters in Washington, made no statement for publication about the result, but he and those associated with him evidently believe they see in the election of Tuesday a material gain in progressive sentiment. See Goes To Prison. Chicago.—Evelyn Arthur See, founder of the cult of The Absolute Life, who was recently convicted of contributing to the delinquency of Mildred Bridges, a minor, was given an indeterminate sentence of from one to five years in the penitentiary by Judge Honore. See's attorney was given 30 days to complete an appeal to the higher courts against the sentence. FUTURE PROBLEMS (Copyright. 1911.) POLYMER ITALIAN SHELLS HALT TURK RAID Cruiser's Guns Drive Back Creeping Bands. HARD FIGHTING IS RESUMED Italians Relax Their Severity After Resentment By World— Red Cross Men Tripoli, via Malta.—Fighting has been resumed about this city and Fort Hamidieh, which is now held by the Italians. An Italian cruiser in the harbor shelled the desert at sunrise and drove back bands of Turks and Arabs who were creeping toward the city's walls from a clump of palm trees. The severity of the Italians' treatment of natives has relaxed as a result of the wave of resentment expressed throughout Christendom. Hundreds of bodies lie exposed in the desert, still unburied. Among the bodies discovered by the Italians are those of Red Cross surgeons, who were slain by the natives and Turks in reprisal for the Italians' cruelty. They had gone into the desert to treat wounded Turkish troops, but had been set upon and killed after being tortured. Arab Women Fight. Malta.—Arab women, dressed in men's clothing, are leading in the fighting against the Italians in Tripoli. The sex of these Amazons was not discovered until a number of them had been killed. This information reached here on steamships from Tripoli. Passengers on the steamers declared that General Caneva is using this fact as an explanation for the Italian slaughter of women and children. The women were so disgulshed and fought with such savage courage that the Italians did not suspect them of being women. Tunis.—A heavy guard was placed about the Italian consulate here in consequence of a threatened uprising by the Arab population in sympathy with the Turks. GIRL HERO OF ELECTION. Got Out Big Vote and Defeated a Bond Issue. Hammond, Ind. — Miss Virginia Brooks, of West Hammond, the young reformer, won her most brilliant victory when the citizens repudiated the Interstate Electrical Company bond issue in the special election by a vote of 3 to 1. Miss Brooks held massmeetings, hired carriages to take the voters to the polls, through personal effort, she got out the biggest vote ever known in the city's history. The bond issue defeat may result in Miss Brooks being nominated for mayor of West Hammond at the coming municipal election. A Minister A¢ Town Marshal. Indianapolis.—The wet and dry issue, became prominent in a number of places, and, as a rule, the moral forces were victors, electing marshals who were pledged to enforce the law. Rev. G. W. Bundy, a Methodist minister, was elected marshal of Upland on a reform platform. He promises to enforce the law, and take care of his flock at the same time. Uprising In Tunis. ```markdown ``` REVOLUTION IS SWEEPING ON Canton, the Largest Chinese City, Formally Proclaims Its Independence-Foochow Turned Over To Revolutionists. Peking—The residents of the Forbidden City are taking in great quantities of rice and other stores. Fifteen hundred infantry and 500 cavalry of the Manchu First Division, who fled from Shi Kla-Chuang after the assassination of General Wu Lu-Cheng, arrived here and entered the city. The legations consider that all hope for the Manchu dynasty has vanished. All consular reports received at the Imperial capital agree that the revolutionary spirit has got beyond control throughout the empire with the exception of Manchuria. The foreign legations have arranged ample protection for foreigners. The officials of the British legation are preparing to exercise their right of guarding the railroad from Peking to Tien-Tsin. The temper of the Manchu troops remains the most serious consideration. The Chinese greatly fear that they may precipitate a conflict. Allowing for recent desertions, it is estimated that there are 22,500 Manchu troops. Prince Ching, the acting premier, stated that the Manchu did not intend, if besieged, to defend Peking. Chinese officials believe that while the Manchu intends to guard against surprise inside the city, should the revolutionaries make a serious demonstration outside the walls, the court would begin negotiations, giving up, if necessary, all but their lives and accepting such provision for the future as may be offered. The city of Foochow is in the hands of the revolutionists. After taking it they wiped out the entire Manchu district. The foreign settlements have not been disturbed, but fires have broken out in several sections of the native city, threatening its destruction. Foochow is one of the most important cities of the south, having a population of 700,000. It is the seat of a naval arsenal, government shipyards, a mint, a school of navigation and a large dry dock. The situation in Amoy is quiet, but a serious state of affairs is threatened, owing to the scarcity of provisions. Most of the city's supply junks were captured by pirates in a spectacular raid, the entire crew of one ship being massacred. The American cruiser Albany arrived at Amoy together with a Japanese destroyer. WALSH LEFT. $125,000. At Height Of Success, Wealth Estimated At $15,000,000. Chicago.—According to the statement of one close to the family of the late John R. Walsh, the estate of the former bank president, railroad magnate, financier and manipulator, whose opinions once moved the market, will amount to but little more than $125,000. At the height of his power, and just before the government successfully prosecuted him for bank wrecking, the former newsboy was worth $15,000,000. Two Husbands In One Day. Memphis, Tenn.—A 'divorce bill which has just been filed probably begins the final chapter in a strange marriage 'tangle here. A girl who married two men in one day is alleged by Joseph Rolfes, the second husband, to have deserted him, and Rolfes has sued for divorce from Elizabeth Shipp Rolfes. Basketball Barred. Sparta, Wls.-The board of education issued an order forbidding the playing of basketball by girl teams in the high schools, the point being made that such public exhibitors are not conductive to good morals. LINGOLN HUT IS NOW A MEMORIAL Martyrred President's Birthplace Preserved. President Taft and Other Dialing-guided Persons Take Part in Ceremonies Dedicating a Granite Structure. Hodgenville, Ky.-The movement inaugurated five years ago by Robert J. Collier, of New York, for the erection of a suitable memorial to Abraham Lincoln at the place of his birth is now an accomplished fact. In the presence of a gathering in which Mason and Dixon's Line was obliterated impressive exercises were held in dedication of the magnificent memorial structure surrounding and covering the old log cabin in which Abraham Lincoln was born, February 12, 1809. The cornerstone was laid by ex-President Roosevelt on the centennial anniversary of Lincoln's birth, two years ago last February. At the dedication Thursday President Taft was the central figure. The exercises were held at the Thomas Lincoln farm, which was purchased by the Lincoln Farm Association several years ago with a fund raised by popular subscription. After acquiring the property the association proceeded with the erection of the memorial building to protect for all time the lowly cabin in which the martyr president was born. The memorial stands on a slight elevation where stood the original Lincoln homestead. Some years ago the cabin was removed for exhibition purposes, but was restored to its original site. The memorial building is an imposing silhouette of white stone, of classic design, with giant pillars ornamenting the front and two sides. The entrance is approached by a broad flight of terraced steps. The dedication exercises were of a simple but impressive character. In addition to President Taft the speakers and prominent participants included Henry Watterson, Governor Wilson, representing the State of Kentucky, and Robert J. Collier, who inaugurated the Lincoln farm movement. President Taft said in part: "Few men have come into public prominence who came absolutely from the soil as did Abraham Lincoln. It is difficult to imagine the lack of comfort, accommodation and the necessities of life that there were in the cabin in which he was born. "The almost squaler in which he passed his early life made him familiar with the sufferings, thoughts and sympathies of the plain people, and when he came to great power his understanding of their reasoning and of their views gave him an advantage in interpreting their attitude which cannot be overstated. "He was not slow, but he was cautious, deliberative, attentive, as befitted one who insisted on establishing every proposition that he adhered to by original reasoning from fundamental postulates. "The diary of his cabinet officers show how, under his very nose and generally with his clear perception of it, political combinations against his interest were formed only to be dissolved and fall harmless through the patient tact of this master of men, this greatest of diplomats." Gave Parents Poison. Northwood, Ia.—That she attempted six times since 1909 to poison both her parents was the testimony of Marlon Rodbaugh at the trial of her sister, Mrs. Etta Larsen, accused of trying to poison her father, Douglas Rodbaugh. Marlon's attempts were made at the instigation of her sister and by fear of her, according to further testimony. The Colored Tea Problem. Washington.—The Treasury Department will stand pat on the regulations recently promulgated to prevent the importation of colored tea, although there is no certainty that slightly colored tea will not creep into the country. Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Curtis decided to make no change in the chemical analysis which is now in use at all ports of the country to test tea importations. Taft Has Pardoned 448. Washington, November 9. — The forthcoming annual report of the Department of Justice will show that President Taft has pardoned or commuted the sentences of 448 Federal prisoners during his three years of office. It is doubtful if any president has shown so, much mercy in dealing with criminals. 18, 1911. Behind Closed Doors By Dorothy Douglas "There's no use talking, Babs, a girl who can sing is always in demand." Bob Danvers gazed reminiscently up into the apple tree under which he was lying. The hurt look that came into Barbara Trent's eyes escaped him. He went on, happily oblivious. "The two girls in our quartette never have an evening to themselves and I'll tell you it would be a pretty slow town without them to keep us going." Barbara glanced siftly at her fiance. No; his words were not intentional but with all a man's brutal frankness he was stabbing her to the heart. To the man's ears, the hurs in her voice was well concealed. "Yes; it is nice to have them here. You see I was right in refusing to become engaged to you unless you kept up your quartette two evenings a week." There was a wistful expression in the eyes she turned from him. "You are a girl in a thousand, Babby," he said and drew her nearer to him. "Now I couldn't stand it for a minute, if you were to spend two nights a week with any other fellow." He tried to look into her eyes, but for the first time something-in their depths eluded him. "I sometimes think you don't love me," he said. Barbara remained silent. "If you loved me you couldn't be so indifferent." "Perhaps not." Barbara's voice was curiously preoccupied. "I suppose you will insist on my keeping up the quartette when we are married?" "Certainly. I will not marry you otherwise." Suddenly Barbara laughed—a laugh so completely the outcome of her own thoughts that Bob looked aggrieved. Three weeks later Bob and Barbara were saying good night down by the old gate. "Well, I'll see you tomorrow night," said Bob. "No, no!" cried Barbara quickly, "tomorrow is Friday—quartette night!" A breathless something escaped Bob's lips. "I am coming anyway," he said doggedly. Barbara's eyes had grown wide and dark in the moonlight. "You may as well have this ring back then," she said quietly. But Bob had flung off down the lane. Barbara laughed softly as she went slowly toward the house. The next evening Bob Danvers took a roundabout way to the little club house where the quartette met. The way took him past Barbara's house and he strode along with his hands deep in his pockets. But they were not deeper than his thoughts. Barbara's indifference during the last few weeks and a certain air of aloofness and mystery had sent gloomy forebodings into his brain. He had not intended to stand and gaze at the house as he passed, but a voice arrested his attention. Bob Danvers drew nearer and a great wave of jealous heat surged through him. Through a tiny crack between the blinds Danvers had seen a man seated at the piano. Beside him stood Barbara—his Barbara—and the man's arm was about Barbara's waist. Blind with jealousy, rage and convictions of Barbara's duplicity, he went swiftly away from the scene. "So that's why she sends me off to sing!" he muttered as he strode along. An hour later, because he wanted to make sure that his eyes had not played him false, Bob returned to the walk in front of Barbara's home. His heart thumped within him. "I will see you Tuesday?" Barbara's sweet voice called out. "You certainly will," a man's NUMBER 9. voice responded, then Bob Danvers heard the front door close and a man went swiftly out through the gate over which he and Barbara had said good night. With all his impetuosity and jealousy Danvers still possessed reasoning powers. He decided to wait until Tuesday. Nothing could be gained by his bursting in upon her and compelling Barbara to confess. He permitted himself to call upon Barbara Sunday. She was an cool and her eyes met his as steadily as they had on the night when they had become engaged. "How is the music coming along?" she asked lightly. "Fine," he told her. "I always feel guilty about having so pleasant an evening without you," he couldn't help saying. A deep flush swept into Barbara's face and she quickly averted her head. Danvers had a desire to make her confess her intrigue, but he said good night and left her. Tuesday night Bob confirmed his suspicions. He saw the man go into Barbara's house, saw them in the drawing room, saw Barbara carefully pull down all the blinds and then— Bob didn't remember much until the postman brought him a registered package which contained their engagement ring. Barbara had been prompt in answering his curt, accusing note. She had written nothing; the ring released him. Danvers learned later that she had gone to town for the winter. Notwithstanding the fact that a musical club had organized and that the village had livened up Bob Danvers found no joy. He had lost the only girl he wanted. It was during the third year of their broken engagement that Danvers was asked to take part in an amateur opera that the musical club intended to produce. "There is only one girl I know who can do Jessica," said the instructor who had charge of the club music, "and that is Barbara Trent." "Barbara Trent!" Bob Danvers and the club spoke in one voice of surprise. "I was not aware that Babs—Miss Trent sang!" Bob's voice was far from steady. "Miss Trent has been under my especial instruction for over two years. She was very anxious to learn to sing and I gave her private instructions at her home." Victor Morrison spoke with a deliberate emphasis on the last two words and kept his eyes on Danvers the while. "I am leading her into a musical career," he finished. The tension in the room broke when Bob Danvers rushed out. "Will she sing for us?" the crowd asked. "Miss Trent came out from town with me yesterday," said Morrison. Barbara Trent was strolling about the garden when she heard swiftly approaching footsteps. She turned and found herself held close in a man's arms. "Babs," he said breathlessly, "I love you so." Then he whispered unsteadily, "Can you forgive me?" "Forgive—but not forget—you," she answered softly. "But Babs, dear—why—why did he have his arm around your waist—that night?" "Silly," she laughed, "that, wasn't my waist—it was my diaphragm. He was teaching me how to breathe properly. All music teachers do that until we learn to breathe from the right place." SUICIDAL ROOSTER. Grieved over the death of his companion in the poultry yard of William Lacey in Georgetown, Mike says an exchange, the big brown rooster of the flock, committed suicide, Lacey says, by hanging himself in a manner that could leave no doubts as to his intention. Lacey and his family and neighbors watched the big rooster wher he deliberately walked to the yard fence, and flying in the air caught his neck between the palings and with a jerk broke his own neck. The Farm Improper and antiquated methods of handling eggs in the United States result in losses that reach an estimated total of $45,000,000 annually. This is 17 per cent. of the estimated total value of the entire crop. Practically all this loss is borne by farmers and other producers, and a large part of it can be prevented. How the department of agriculture through its bureau of animal industry is solving this problem is told in bulletin 141 just issued entitled "The Improvement of the Farm Egg." In order to show how this loss might be prevented, the Bureau of Animal Industry last year sent experts into Kansas to conduct investigations. The results of the first season's work are given in detail in the bulletin, with suggestions for improvement that may be applied anywhere. "Although but one season has been spent by the bureau in this work," says the bulletin, "several much-desired changes have been brought about. The most important of these was the adoption by shippers of the 'loss-off' system of buying and selling eggs." Previous to the work of the bureau, Kansas eggs were not very popular in the markets outside of the state. Quantity rather than quality was a handicap the shippers encountered. The immediate effect of buying on a "loss-off" system produced such a marked change in the quality of the eggs reaching the market that outside buyers now manifest a preference for eggs bought in this manner. Copies of the bulletin may be procured by addressing a request to the Secretary of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. THE RIGHT WAY TO MAKE HAY. In the old speller with which we used to wrestle in our schoolboy days was a definition of hay defining it as dry grass. The idea of a great many farmers about hay making is expressed by that definition, but it is all wrong. It applies to a poor quality of hay. Good hay is cured grass. When we speak of curing in connection with hay we mean that the process is handled by a man who knows that making good hay involves scientific principles. In the delicate grass blades and leaves that fall in a swath under the mower blade is the valuable protein, the carbohydrates and the fat that nourishes the stock. They are not in the stems to any extent. In transforming the grass into hay it is easy to lose some of the leaves. By merely drying the hay these become extremely brittle and fall off in the handling. From 10 to 50 per cent of the value of alfalfa is usually lost in this way. The ideal quality in hay is that it shall have a condition of moisture that will prevent spoiling in the stack, but still retain a toughness that will hold the leaves. In this condition it should show a bright, clean color, which is some crops, as in case of alfalfa, will retain almost the original green of the growing plant. This can not be done by mere drying in the sun. In fact, to make good hay it must be gotten out of the sun as soon as possible and air-cured in cocks or windrows.—Denver Field and Farm. CONSERVATIVE FARMERS. It is astonishing how conservative some people are in their private affairs in certain lines, while really extravagant along others. For instance, we now and then find some old fellow who gets along with half enough pitch forks. One needs several forks, so that if one is broken he need not delay a job. An eastern man visiting in Colorado came along the other day and after looking at our $50 gang plow, a cultivator that cost as much, the still more expensive manure spreader and numerous other things that cost many hard-earned dollars, thought that we western farmers are too extravagant. He said we could get along with fewer implements if we tried. I should like to see that fe'low swing a fiall and mow ten-acre field of hay with a scythe. —Denver Field and Farm. KEEPING THE ROAD GOOD. Habit! Here is what a Cass County man says about it, who got it right. "A short time ago I concluded I would drag the road, as it was so rough. The next day I passed over that road it seemed so nice and smooth. Then I got over on the other part not dragged. I noticed what a great difference. Only an hour to drag it. Since then I ran the drag over it two or three times and the habit was formed. Now when I go to the mail box I ride the drag—don't like to walk anyway. The road along my farm is smooth and level."—Kansas City Times PHOSPHORUS FOR WHEAT. Experiments in soil treatment have been made on the University of illinois experiment plots on the S. Noble King farm in McLean county, and by the use of phosphorus fertilizer the wheat yield was more than doubled. The average yield on all plots which were not treated with phosphorus was 24 bushels an acre. The average yield of the fertilized, plots was 581 bushels an acre. This is the climax of the results that have been obtained on the experiment plot year after year and more than bears out the propaganda of Dr. C. G. Hopkins, the university soil expert, who holds that crops may be doubled with intelligent treatment. MECHANICAL FORCE OF ROOTS. The true mechanical efforts of roots are exerted in their struggle for progress through the soil, and examples for illustration are many. To understand the magnitude of their work, we must bear in mind that each root displaces an amount of soil equal to its own bulk, says, the Milwaukee Sentinel. Take, for instance, a crop of mangel-wurzels, and imagine what an upheaval must have been produced in the soil by the growth of its enormous mass. The whole surface of the field is raised and its particles loosened. The most striking results of the mechanical power of the roots are seen when they come in contact with the most resisting obstacles. They have been unearthed from compact gravelly soil, where the struggle for room has been so fierce that they became distorted out of all natural shape. It is not unusual to find trees growing in the clefts of ledges, showing unmistakably that the expansion of the roots has forced the rock apart. A case is cited, on good authority, of the root of a sugar maple that had pushed its way under a rock weighing nearly two tons, and by its enlargement lifted it entirely from its bed. Trees have been observed growing on the bare rock, resting upon their roots, which ran out into the soil on either side; and yet, these roots, supporting the enormous weight of the tree, formed each year new growth on their under side and lifted the tree by the space of its thickness until 7 inches of wood had been formed under the severe pressure. VALUE OF SILAGE. Silage has a value in hog feeding, not so much for the food nutrients it contains as for its beneficial effect on the digestive system. It has a succulence which keeps the digestive system in proper condition and prevents constipation. It is not relished so much on account of its high percentage of fiber. Hcgs will first eat the shattered grain, then chew the remaining portion, swallow the juice and drop the cud formed. It should be given in rather-small quantities in connection with other kinds of food. Pigs that are being fattened should gain from one to one and one-half pounds a day, and should weigh between 250 and 300 pounds at nine or ten months of age. Gains made after this weight are nearly twice as expensive as those made when weighing from 50 to 100 pounds, and a well-bred pig finished at a weight of about 250 pounds will very nearly fill the market requirements and bring a satisfactory price. While it is true that it requires two pounds of ensilage to equal one pound of hay feeding value, it has been shown that from an equal quantity of dry matter more milk was obtained from the ensilage than from corn fodder, corn stover or hay. At the Massachusetts station it was shown that whenever ensilage replaced a part of the hay ration there was a reduction in the cost of production. $ ^{*} $ HOG PASTURES. Grass is a prime factor in successful hog raising. It is safe to assume that no hog grower can long continue in business without grass in some form, says the Berkshire World. Young pigs like to nip the tender blades of grass. Good grass serves as a relish and appetizer to hogs of all ages and conditions. Grass serves as a tonic for the brood sow, the boar and the fattening hog as well as the growing pig. Forage crops enter largely into the economical production of pork, and alfalfa alone has almost revolutionized the business of hog raising. Not only has the cost of production been reduced by the use of alfalfa and clover, or corn and alfalfa larger and better hogs are raised, and the quality has been improved. ALFA'FA FOR DAIRY COW. Alfalfa hay is becoming one of the important feeds for the dairy cow. Because of its high per cent. of protein the hay deserves the popularity it is attaining, as it is much easier to mix it with other feeds grown upon the farm and secure a ration such as the dairyman wants to produce milk most economically. Besides its high content of protein, the large yields commend it. Many men are finding in it the means of cutting down the cost of producing milk, and it is the man who produces his product in the most economical manner, quality considered, that has before him the hope of succeeding when others fall. THE VALUE OF BUSINESS ENTERPRISES INTERESTING EDITORIAL FROM THE ILLINOIS CHRONICLE. After a man's moral rating is made his value to the world is judged by what he has accomplished. And in a final analysis what he has accomplished usually reduces itself to dollars and cents. With this fact in mind it is well to remind ourselves of what our business enterprises stand for to ourselves and the world at large. By business we speak directly of commercial interchange. Its value is almost inestimable. No man can rise or fall alone, every individual is much too closely interwoven with the general woof. Thus so, the development of our business enterprises spells success or failure for us individually and collectively. It is an excellent thing that a man shall have certain employment, which he knows brings him a stated stipend. But it is not this man who is doing the hard work in race unbuilding. It must always be remembered that if some one had not toled over a business there would be no possibility of salaried employees. It is the man who starts on little and gradually increases it to whatever size he may be capable, who is building the future welfare of this people. Monetary considerations is a basic principle of exchange between all races. And their value is accredited in exact proportion as they are able to cope with competitive races and nations. Now everything must grow from something. The salaried man (without depreciating his value to his community) is always more or less of a parasite, however worthy his endeavors may be. It is the business men who create values, who establish laws and who control interests. Business is the backbone of a nation's success. As a country's business houses grow, so it becomes powerful among nations and its opinions and rights respected. And Jews perhaps give the most noteworthy example of this principle. Theirs is a people who at all parts of the world are desplised and humiliated. Yet they are rejected, or perhaps better, ejected from no place because of the command they have in the business world. Our business enterprises should receive our best encouragement. Every race of people looks chiefly to its own members for sustenance. And every man who is able to command capital is able to give employment to another man, as his enterprise is successful. Employment among our own people means a closer welding together of our interests and greater strength. We cannot always be beggars at another man's door, however just is the reason for our begging. It robs the race of independence and unity, thus sapping away its strength. Our business ventures must receive encouragement, and if not from us, then from whom? True there will always be those who toll and those who reap the results of this labor. But this should make us but the more anxious to see that some of the reward of labor falls into hands where we may benefit, however indirectly. It is to our business men that the future will be responsible for the homes, the standing and the uplift of the race. Let us then be mindful of our enterprises. Encourage them by our patronage and sacrifice ourselves for their welfare if necessary. Their success means the greater opportunity for the children of today. It means financial standing for those who are making an effort to take us from the mediocre. They are adding power to our interests in the financial world. As our business enterprises succeed we shall be able to demand and receive recognition and concessions along all lines. They place more money within our reach, they open opportunities where none existed before. Every effort should be made by every freedom loving, ambitious citizen to give all the aid within his power to any man who has courage and will enough to make an effort to build a financial enterprise. HOW LIFE LOOKS. TO THE PESSIMIST. Keep out. Dangerous. No smoking. No admission. Beware of the dog. Keep off the grass. Elevator not running. Don't feed the animals. Trespassers will be prosecuted. Not responsible for hats and coats. TO THE OPTIMIST. Come in. Take one. No collection. Admission free. You are invited. Strangers welcome. Ask for free sample. No trouble to show goods. Let us "feather the nest." Money back if not satisfied.—Philadelphia Inquirer. A GENTLE HINT. A miserable-sinner-looking clergyman sought 'advice' of an experienced preacher, and was told, among other things, "If you are preaching of hell, your ordinary expression of countenance will do; but if you preach o heaven, I should try to look a little more cheerful."—The Christian Register. RESOLUTIONS IN HONOR OF THE GREATEST JUSTICE AND THE BEST FRIEND OF THE COLORED RACE ADOPTED—REV, J. D. CORROTHERS PLEASES LARGE AUDIENCES WITH SPECIMENS OF HIS OWN POETRY AND HUMOROUS VERSES. Boston, Mass.—A meeting of the Boston Literary and Historical association was held in St. Mark's Congregational church last night, at which resolutions of sympathy on the death of Justice John M. Harlan of the United States Supreme court were adopted, copies of which will be sent to the family. The association voted to hold a meeting in commemoration of Justice Harlan in co-operation with the New England Suffrage league and the National Independent Political league. Rev. J. D. Corrothers of Haverhill read poems by Paul Laurence Dunbar and verses of his own composition, and there were solos by William H. Reed and Dr. J. H. Thompson. The Resolutions Adopted. "The Boston Literary and Historical association, seeing in the late Justice John Marshall Harlan the greatest jurist in the history of the United States since his illustrious namesake, Chief Justice John Marshall, and the greatest friend of freedom and equality of citizenship under the constitution ever on the Supreme court, hereby records its grief at the death of a noble champion of the rights of colored Americans and sends its heartfelt sympathy to the family of this defender of the republic, sharing their grief in this death which is an irreparable loss to a race of ten millions, who are proscribed and denied political freedom, because of color." The association voted to arrange a public memorial meeting to Justice Harlan, with the co-operation of the New England Suffrage league and the National Independent Political league. Rev. Corruthers' Readings. The meeting at St. Mark's church, 1042 Tremont street, was opened by President Trotter with prayer by the chaplain, Wm. D. Johnson. Miss Hattle V. Manley, secretary, read the minutes, which were adopted. A note of appreciation for the late Justice Harlan was adopted, and a motion carried for a public memorial meeting by all libraries and the suffrage societies, etc. Several names were proposed for membership. Rev. Corrothers said he had not agreed to read Dunbar, but his own poems and prose. He read a little of Dunbar's and closed with his own poem on Dunbar, to be published in part by the Century magazine. His poems were liberally applauded and his humorous writings kept the audience in convulsions of laughter. He made one of the most interesting nights ever held by any literary in Boston. A large audience was out to hear the gifted writer and poet. Mr. W. N. Reed sang as never before and was encoured. His beautiful baritone voice caused regret that he follows Mr. Hodges in soon leaving Boston. Dr. J. H. Thompson's solo so pleased the audience he was greatly applauded and given an encore. PROFESSOR DUBOIS TALKS OF THE RECENT RACE CONGRESS New York.—Dr. W. E. B. Dubois delivered a most interesting lecture at St. Mary's Lyceum on the Race congress, which was recently held in London. The lecture possibly contained nothing which has not already been published in various publications, yet it was extremely interesting and not the least bit monotonous. As a rule, Doctor Dubois seldom makes his audience laugh. On this occasion, however, he produced laughter when he said that at one time scientists were wont to acclaim long heads a sign of highest civilization, such as Germans, etc., but when they found that the Zulus had the same kind of heads they were at sea again. The doctor says it is not so much a rate problem as it is a social problem. The problem in Africa is simply one of labor and wages. In Morocco, capitalists against labor. The consensus of opinion of the leading scientists was that it is impossible to draw the line between races. The color of the skin is simply a matter of climate. In describing the suffragists parade which was 40,000 strong, eight miles long, the doctor took occasion to say that the greatest question that the country has to deal with today is "What are we going to do with the women?" The doctor's highest praise for all who took part in the congress, saying there was all harmony. The next meeting will be held in America. HE HAD A DIFFERENT RULE. J.

THE PROGRESSIVE MAN Is the one who makes it his business to advertise his business thoroughly. Now is your opportunity AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Mr. William Sunday, familiarly called "Billy," the evangelist, who used to be a popular baseball player before he went in for saving the souls of sinners from themselves, or striving to do so, has precipitated upon a stupid situation a nation-wide discussion of the cost of saving a soul in the large cities. The subject is a palpitating one, the heart-beats of which can be heard from farthest northwoods to farthest southglades. The millionaire-hears it as he listens to the stock ticker and the washerwoman hears it as she listens to the sighing of the clothes wringer. He is a benefactor who springs a palpitating subject into a stupid situation; Mr. William Sunday is, therefore, a benefactor, and has placed the stupid situation, which is grateful, under obligation to him. Every sinner has a soul to save, and a very large and influential body of people have dedicated themselves to the work of saving it; and, too, without the desire or request of the sinner that the dedication should be made in his behalf; then as long as mankind is divided into two classes, the saints and the sinners, the former, who consider themselves as the salt of the earth, will strive to save the latter, whom they consider the enemies of themselves and of society. The sinners have no such compact, worldwide organization as the saints, therefore we do not know, as we have never had a pronouncement, what the sinners consider themselves as, or what they honestly think of the saints. Well, then, Mr. Sunday has published his findings of the cost of saving souls in a pamphlet. Cost per soul: Atlanta, $75; New Orleans, $78; Chicago, $305; Boston, $450; New York, $545; Indianapolis, $620. Who would have thought it! If we had been asked in which of the six cities we thought it would cost most to save a soul we should have stuck our stub pen into Atlanta, when, behold, it heads the list for cheapness! It is one of those surprises that stagger belief. And Puritan Boston, with tougher souls than Chicago, and Indianapolis, with tougher ones than New York! How Philadelphia escaped the evangelist statistician is not explained. And we can imagine the sinners of Brooklyn and Jersey City kicking themselves because they were not appraised. Mr. Sunday does not say so, but we take it for granted that he enumerated the black sinners along with the white sinners, as we are sure he must be too good a saint to have made any distinction between them, in so important an enumeration, "on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude."—New York Age. Get the right view of life. Riches, fame and power are all good in their places—but remember that out of their places they are all very, very bed, and are, indeed, real curses. The true work for which mankind was intended is, to be of genuine service, and by this service not only to make others happier and better off, but likewise to benefit the one who serves for the common good, and make him or her superlatively happy. A similar truth is admirably expressed in the following paragraph which was headed "Real Riches:" "Who is the richest man in the world?" asks an exchange, and begins measuring millions against millions. All wrong. The richest man in the world is the one that gets the greatest amount of happiness out of what he has, whatever it is. It is an old truth, but it was never truer than it is today."—Pueblo (Colo.) Chieftain. During the Cuban war, the late N. B. Broward, at that time senator from Florida, operated a fillbustering vessel known as the Three Friends. Some weeks ago some one was congratulating him on account of the bravery displayed by him and his men during the many expeditions they made. In reply Senator Broward said: "Yes; they were brave men, but don't forget that nigger deckhand. I have forgotten his name, but he was just as brave as any of the rest of us." In the foregoing we glimpse the cause of history's silence regarding the negro. He is not in the habit of "recommendin' himself" very highly and voiciferously, the people with whom he plays his part, forget his name, forget that he ever done anything and when they write history the silence regarding his deeds is convincing proof that "he wasn't there." The senator's confession does credit to all concerned. Booker T. Washington besides being the world's greatest industrial educator is a Missionary Baptist and black Republican. Of these three things he is never in the mist; upon these crafts he files no doubtful flag. This much cannot be said of his traducers. He does not blow hot and cold on the same subject. The climate and weather do not affect his mind. He is steadfast. This makes him a shining example.—Dallas Express. Many a farmer who is in funds now is going strong in the matter of spending, and will probably have to buy his Santa Claus on credit, and a month later will be begging some credit merchant for the privilege of buying his goods on time at about 300 per cent. profit—Dallas Express. Lots of good advice is to be picked up from time to time in the daily newspapers. Most of it is dropped in dribbles from mouths of men who have succeeded in life, and who want others to do so. Any one, for example, who would keep a scrap book of the newspaper sayings of Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller, James J. Hill, Cardinal John Gibbons and Booker T. Washington would soon have as wise a collection as "Poor Richard's Sayings." But do people really care for good advice? Do not people really think they are wise enough, without instruction in their own conceit? The other day, when Mr. Rockefeller was leaving his Cleveland home for the winter, he said to a reporter: "I believe in sticking to one thing—don't change. The young man who works to make his fortune must pick out one thing and stick to it." Could any advice be more helpful than that? Young negroes, especially those just out of schools, could study this advice to great advantage. Most young people are easily discouraged in any adventure in which they do not succeed speedily, and abandon it for some other, in its turn to be abandoned. It is the long, steady grind that wins in the end. Few can stand sudden success; it throws them off their stride—New York Age. As everybody knows, these empty gin bottles became such a nuisance at Abeokuta and danger to both man and beast that the authorities were compelled to pass a law prohibiting the people from throwing empty gin bottles on the streets. Rev. M. L. Stone, the noted Yuba orator, attracted huge crowds to his church night after night to hear his account of his experience of empty gin bottles at Abeokuta and elsewhere; and his famous utterance, "Bl oyl si bl. Igo! bl oyl sohn, Igo!" ("If you turn this way, Bottles; If you turn the other way, Bottles") is a lingering pat-word in everybody's mouth. On the other hand, garden borders formed of empty, upturned bottles, still exist and can be seen any day by anyone who desires to see them. Of course, it is not to be wondered at if evidence of this kind escapes the notice of those who would pretend that drinking and the havoc it is producing are non-existent. It is the same old story expressed in the aphorism, "None are so blind as those who will not see."—Lagos Weekly Record. One of the chief questions to be considered by our next general conference will be the adjustment of our financial system. Our plan of assessment based on one dollar per member and apportioned among the conferences according to their numerical and financial strength is as nearly just and equitable as we can hope to make it. The trouble seems to lie in another quarter, the irregular collection and the inequitable disbursement of the funds coming to the department. It is well proven that immediately before the conference assembles the general fund is raised. Another suggestion that seems to meet with deserved favor is to have one depository for the general assessment and reporting every dollar collected directly to it. This would furnish financial credit never before enjoyed. The corresponding secretaries would then become in a larger degree field agents and a vigorous campaign for all benevolent collections would ensue. We would be glad to hear from those who have something to suggest relative to these really important questions.—Star of Zion. We are making herculean efforts to save an organization which has ranked along the side of such white organizations as the Royal Arcanum, Christian Brotherhood, Knights of Honor and many others. It has done much to start the negro on the road to success. The principles and rules of the organization are the same they were 20 years ago when the negroes of this and other states were checked in their recklessness and taught what could be done by co-operation, combination and concentration. These lessons have been helpful to the whole race, and especially members of the order. Our condition is not on account of our rules and regulations nor on account of insufficient assessment, but mismanagement has brought the disaster to our door. We are proceeding in a different way and with different guides, so we extend you an invitation to cast your fortunes with us.—True Reformer. Nashville offers many opportunities for the negroes in her bounds. For instance, there is not a single negro shoe store in Nashville, nor a dry goods store, nor a millinery store, nor a man's clothing store; there is not a bakery nor a confectionery store. There are several communities where there is not a drug store, nor even a grocery store; there is not a furniture store where new goods are sold; every dish, tin pan, in fact, everything that is used in the negro kitchens of Nashville are bought from men other than black men. To say that negroes cannot engage successfully in any of these businesses is a mistake, and the charge that if they should attempt it the negroes would not support them is also erroneous.—Nashville Globe. TALES OF SPOOKS The Death Deputy Sent to the Second Lord Lyttleton. WARNED HIM AND VANISHED AND JUST WHEN HE THOUGHT HE HAD "JOCKEVED THE GHOST" THE PREDICTION BECAME A FACT—STORY OF A SPECTER DOG AND THE LEGEND OF LADY HOWARD. Bellef in specters, phantoms and apparitions still lingers in many parts of England. We scoff at ghost stories as stuff that is "considered ridiculous by all persons of sound education and common sense," and yet mixed in with the legends of wraths and hellhounds are some true tales that are hard to explain from the standpoint of natural cause and effect. A strange story is that told of the notorious second Lord Lyttleton, who is said to have been as evil as his father was the reverse. He died when in his prime under the following well attested circumstances: A few days before his death Lord Lyttleton saw enter his room a woman who told him that on the third day after her appearance he would die. He was very much frightened and extremely depressed by the occurrence, but on the morning of the third day his fears had abated somewhat, and he had to breakfast with him a party which included Lady Flood, Lord Fortescue and two of the Misses Amphlett, to whom he said, "If I live over tonight I shall have jockeyed the ghost, for this is the third day." In the forenoon the party set out to Pit place, Lord Lyttleton's country seat near Epsom, and were not long arrived when his lordship had a suffocating fit, but recovered sufficiently to dine with his friends at five o'clock. By what is described as "a friendly trick" the watches and clocks throughout the house were advanced half an hour. The evening passed, and Lord Lyttleton's spirits recovered their usual gayety. At half past eleven he retired, and, according to his valet's report, "he kept every now and then looking at his watch. . . . Within a minute or two of twelve by his watch he asked to look at mine. . . . 'His lordship then put both to his ear to make certain that they went. When it was near the real hour of 12 he said: 'Come; I'll wait no longer. Get me my medicine. I'll take it and try to sleep.'" It appears that the valet stirred the draft with a toothpick, and this angered Lord Lyttleton, who sent him for a spoon. When the man returned he found his master in a fit. Instead of attempting to relieve him he ran for help, and when he returned with the alarmed guests Lord Lyttleton was dead. A peculiar class of apparition in which many persons, believed is that of specter dogs, which are again divided into three kinds: (1) Black dogs that are fiends in disguse; (2) evil spirits that hunt souls in this gulse; (3) spirits of the wicked departed made to take this shape for their sins. These black dogs are of all sorts and big dogs and little dogs, long hi-wing dogs and short haired dogs, meerkats and fierce dogs, but as a rule the standard specter hound is huge, most凶icious looking and shaggy like a wolf, and, we are told, packs of these hellhounds have been seen, sometimes hunted by a huntsman whose description much resembles the popular conception of the devil. A famous story is told of a goblin hound which used to inhabit an old manslain at Lymne Regis, in Dorset, that had been partly demolished and turned into a farmhouse, in which lived an old drunken farmer. Having been urged to drive out the black dog by his companions, he seized the poker and rushed at the dog, which sprang up instantly and rushed upstairs, followed by the tinsy farmer. It fled into an attic and, hey presto, jumped clean through the ceiling. The angry farmer struck at the place, when, to his amazement, down fell from the hole he had made an old fashioned money box, which proved to be full of gold and silver coins of the reign of Charles I. The dog was never again seen in the house, but it is said to haunt a lane which leads to it, where it can be seen at midnight and which bears the name of "Dog lane," while a local inn display the sign "The Black Dog Inn." Lady Howard, who lived in the reign of the first James and was as famous for her wit as for her beauty and her wealth, was also possessed of a good many bad qualities. She had four husbands, whom she killed off rather rapidly, and was very cruel to her only daughter. For her sins she was transformed when she died—so the story runs—into a black dog, and at midnight she runs between Fitzford, her one time residence, and Oakhampton park in order to carry to the place from which she started a single blade of grass. This she is doomed to do until she has removed every blade of grass from the park—London Globe. FARM BOY TAKES CARE OF HIM SELF. An exchange suggests that what we now need is a city life commission to report upon the way people in the cities are living. There is very much more poverty, ignorance and incapacity in the cities than in the country. The country boys can make a living, no matter where they land, and that is more than can be truthfully said of the boys of city rearing—Exchange. GERMANY IN AFRICA ARRIVING FULLY A GENERATION LATE AT THE DIVISION FEAST, GERMANY HAS NOW AN AFRICAN POLICY. At the present moment Germany has on the west coast of Africa and facing the Gulf of Guinea the triangular shaped colony of Kamerun, which touchs Lake Tchad on the north and is cut off from the Congo by the comparatively narrow strip of French territory that connects the French possessions of the Sudan with the establishments near the mouth of the Congo. On the east coast, again, German Southeast Africa extends from the Indian ocean to Lake Tanganyika, there touching the Congo Free State, which stretches in a solid block to the Ubangi river. If German Kamerun should be extended by the French cession of the territories between the Kamerun and the Congo Free State the sole interruption to a German ocean to ocean colony would be the neutral state of Belgian Congo, the possession of a minor European power which could not defend it and to which the Germans would hold the reversionary title. What Germany asked, moreover, it is plain now that she will substantially obtain, the French territory certainly, the reversionary title perhaps less certainly. Each of the larger European schemes in Africa has been expressed in the terms of a great railroad. The French planned the Trans-Saharan and are actually building the Trans-Sudanese; for the British the Cape to Calro line has served as a promise of unity. The Germans on their side have already begun two sections of their railroad of empire, the Trans-Equatorial, which will cross Africa near the equator, both ends being in German territory. One other detail completes the German conception as European colonial observers now see it. South of the Congo Free State and separated from it by Portuguese Angola is German Southwest Africa, which stretches to the Orange river on the south. If in the general collapse of Portuguese colonial power or in some settlement induced by German influence Angola becomes a German possession, then, save for the brief interruption of the coast enclaves of French Congo and Spanish Guinea, Germany would have an Atlantic coast line stretching from the Orange river to the Gulf of Guinea, while on the Indian ocean it would extend from the Zambesi to Uganda. Such in bare outline is the German African conception, now accepted by all European journals. Yet it has one incidental consequence which cannot be disregarded. If Germany is to have an African colonial empire stretching from the Atlantic to the Indian ocean it must have Congo Free State. But in the British Cape to Caliro scheme Congo Free State is equally the keystone: the success of one ruins the other. Since only one can prevail, therefore, it is not strange that English, German and French commentators alike see arising out of the settlement of the Moroccan question another source of international difficulty, of Anglo-German rivalry the extent of which cannot yet be accurately measured. But for the moment what is most interesting, most novel, is that the Germans in their turn have achieved an African policy. Arriving a generation late upon the African field, they have already successfully upset the exclusive policy of France and England, and with complete triumph laid the foundation for their "place under the sun." Henceforth Germany must be reckoned with in Africa. The best part of the continent England and France have obtained by previous activity, but the empire Germany now seeks is neither inconsiderable nor lacking in enormous commercial possibilities, while its population may easily exceed that of British and French Africa alike.—Editorial, New York Sun. RIDDLE OF GRAVITATION. Nearly two hundred and fifty years ago one of the greatest intellects connected with science turned his attention to gravitation. In that 250 years physical science has made rapid advances. A boy who has completed a year's work in elementary physics could entertain Newton in electricity were it possible for the great philosopher to return to earth. After learning of the great progress in electricity I can imagine him at his eager desire for knowledge turning to the boy and expecting some light on gravitation. Alas, not only the high school boy, but even the most learned, can give any definite information on gravitation. The problem is about where Newton left it. — Popular Science Monthly. WHAT SHE SAW.

A BELASCO EPIGRAM. David Belasco was condemning two melodramas that had had an unmerited success among the less cultivated portion of the public.

ULRICH GETS A CONTINUANCE Defendant Tells Court That He Needs More Time to Get His Witnesses. INFORMS JUDGE THAT HE IS DETERMINED TO PROSECUTE ULRICH AND CANCEL HIS ENGAGEMENTS. New York City.—Harry A. Ulrich, who attacked Dr. Booker T. Washington, the Turkogee educator, on a public street in this city last March, was "brought to book" in the court of special sessions, part V., Judges Zeller, Mayo and Ryan presiding. Dr. Washington was in court to prosecute Ulrich. Present also were his secretary, Emmett J. Scott; Hon. Charles W. Anderson, collector of internal revenue for the Second district of New York; Fred R. Moore, editor and publisher of the New York Age; Hon. Ralph W. Tyler, auditor for the navy department, Washington, D. C.; George W. Harris of the Amsterdam News, and other of Dr. Washington's friends. The people of the state of New York were represented by Assistant District Attorney James E. Smith. Dr. Washington's personal attorney, Wilford H. Smith, was present as consulting attorney. Ulrich has continued to have this case delayed each time it has been called for trial, hoping that Dr. Washington would drop the prosecution. Tuesday, through his counsel, he again pleaded for delay, claiming that he had not been able to get witnesses into court—this, despite the fact that he had several months to do so. District Attorney Smith opposed the motion, claiming that Ulrich had no witnesses and that his plea for delay was simply an effort to avoid the consequence of his brutal and uncalled-for assault. The judges decided they would give him one more chance, and have set the case down for trial at a later date. Dr. Washington has notified the district attorney's office that he will cancel the series of engagements he has for Wisconsin and the west, made long since, so as to be in the court and prosecute Ulrich. The assault occurred several months ago, and Ulrich at that time told contradictory stories of what led to it. To the police he said that he had taken Dr. Washington for a burglar, but to reporters he said that Dr. Washington had insulted Mrs. Ulrich, his wife. $20,000 HAS BEEN RAISED PROGRESS BEING MADE IN COLLECTING FUNDS FOR COLORED TRAINING SCHOOL AT NASHVILLE. Nashville, Tenn.-The raising of funds for a $200,000 colored training school in this city, to be a part of the American Interchurch College for Religious and Social Workers, is meeting with success on the part of the negro citizens of Nashville. The first gift of $4,000 was made several months ago by Hon. J. C. Napler. Since that time the donations and subscriptions have reached the sum of $20,000. The establishment of the colored training school will fill a long felt need in the development of the negro religiously and socially throughout the country, the aim being to train colored young men and women as specialists in moral, social and religious leadership among their people. At present the offices of the school are located in the Marshall building, a large three-story brick structure, facing the Tennessee state capital. The executive board of the Colored Training School numbers among it members such as men as Dr. George A. Gates, president of -Flisk University; Dr. Booker T. Washington, principal of the Tuskogee Institute; Dr. James H. Dillard, president and general agent of the Jeanes fund board; Hon. James C. Napler, register of the United States Treasury, and Dr. R. H. Boyd, secretary of the National Baptist publishing board. It is a part of the fixed policy of the executive board to establish and maintain the closest possible relations of co-operation and affiliation with the three large negro universities of Nashville—Fisk, Walden and Roger Williams—so that the resources and benefits of all four institutions may be made available for all students. It is thought that it would be better to encourage white denominations to appropriate money to the school and to urge colored denominations to patronize it, rather than to try to establish independent training schools of their own. The executive board will act as trustees for all denominations, both white and colored, that desire to cooperate. The general secretary of the executive board is Dr. James E. McCullock of this city.

Life is one continuous passage, Oer a pathway each must tread; Beginning in this world of trouble. Ending at the throne of God, Where our trials will be over And our lives cannot be marred. All who keep the laws of Jesus, While upon this earth they stay, Will be glad to hear the trumpet On that glorious Judgment day; For God will smooth and widen then Every rough and narrow way. We cannot live a life like Christ; We cannot perfect be; But we can live an upright life, That all mankind can see And learn that there's no one as near And dear to us as he. We cannot live a Washington, Who traveled cold and slow On Christmas night in seventy-six Through winter's ice and snow, Surprised the joyous Hessians And turned their joy to woe. We cannot live a Lincoln, Who once held in his hand The pen that made one stroke and freed The slaves throughout this land; Who died a martyr for the truth And went to heaven at God's command. But we can live a useful life; Striving to be free from sin. For we're told there's a heaven and a° oil. And one of them we must win; And after we've spent ten thousand years, Eternity will just begin. —Howard T. Tolles. THE HOLY CITY. By MISS GRACE BERRY. There's beautiful city just over the way Still shining so lovely and bright; 'Tis the home of the weary, fatigued they say, Where cares are all hidden from sight. The streets of the city are all paved with gold, And its gates all shining with pearl; And the rivers which flow through the city we're told Are free, and all nations are healed. The soil is so fertile rich over there, That flowers abundantly bloom. Each season, and lend to the sweet scented air, A fragrance of richest perfume. 'Tis a stream of repentence 'twixt land and thee Whose borders were crowded of old, With souls eager watching the beautiful scene. And tempted its beauty to behold. They would watch the great waves that would come to and fro. For the tide lakes slivery bright, They would step in and wade to the beautiful shore. Where sorrows are hidden from sight. But now a great vale hides its beauty from view, And mist gathers thick over the way. And faith only cherishes a comfort for you. When sorrows are cast away. Washington, D. C. A PRAYER TO LOVE. THE VAGABOND. The little dream she had forgot Oh, long and long ago. Came back across the April fields And touched her garments so (As night a wind-blown primrose cling, And one scarce guess or know.) A little beggarded outcast dream Forgot of Love and men. And all because a fiddler played An older lady. And two young lovers, hand in hand, Sent back its tune again. The little dream she had forgot Crept near and clung and stayed— A roving, ragged vagabond Half daring, half afraid. And all because yuding love went by And one old fiddler played. q —Theodosia Garrison.

Several localities in the South “are appealing to the immigration hoard to turn the immigration tide in this direction.

We wish to put them on notice that Fulton County nor North Georgi do not compose the entire state. ‘This fact will be proven in a tell- ing manner. The bond election takes place nex> month. It behooves every colored voter to go to the polls on that day and vote for bonds. A vote for bonds means progress, health and work for the laborers, A yote against bonds is a yote against the progress of Savannah. Do not be a pessimist, do not be a knocker, Be a booster for your city and its progress. ‘The one thing above all other: from which the Savannah Negroe: are suffering most is the lack of leadership. There are one or tivo men in our midst who are fully cap- able of assuming the leadership of the race but-they are entirely too inactivg and as a‘consequence the people in general are unacquaint- ed with them and know little or nothing about them, Some Southern papers are gloat: ing over the showing of the «cen- cus that the whites in this country are increasing faster than the blacks. These papers fail to show that the cause of this great increase is the mighty influx of white foreigners while there were no black ones.

The community was per haps never more generally aroused and wrought up over the perpe- tration of a crime than on the day when it was authentically ascer- tained that the dead body found in the well near Springtield was that of Mr. Jasper H. Turner who mysteriously disappeared from the city a few nights prior to this, atd that the automobile which was disposed of in Oliver, Ga., was the murdered man’s car which he had been driving around the city trying to make an honest living. The Negroes in particular felt the murder of Mr. Turner most keenly for he was one of our leading and most successful busi- ness men and was looked up to bythe members of his race. They were a little skeptical about the apprehension of the murder- ers sfearing that since it was gen- erally believed that they were white men: that there might be some avenue of escape left open to them by the authorities in pur- suit. But their fears and anxie- ties were allayed ina few days when the culprits were landed in jail and it was learned that the Chatham county authorities had accomplished a ‘deed almost un- paralleled, in the history of the south, the running to earth of white men for the murder of a Negro. The community in gen- eral gave a sigh of relief when the men were brought to Savan- nah and placed in the jail for safe keeping until the trial. A plan was started among the Negroes to raise by subscription a fund’ large. enough to employ counsel to as- sist the solicitor general in the prosecution of the murderefs. The Negroes proyed themselves to be yitally interested in the case by responding liberally and a large enough sum was raised to secure thie services of one of the ablest and most widely known lawyers in the state to assist the state, Judge Twiggs. The whites, too, voluntarily augment- ed the sum raised by the Negroes for they felt that it was their duty. fo the community to see that no stone be left unturned to bring about summary punishment to ‘he men who had murdered one of the most peaceable -itizens in| heir midst, Finally the day of tial_came, the defense had se-| ured two of the best known law- |) ers in the state.

Worley, white, tried in the Superior Court Tuesday for |the murder of Mr. Jasper H. Turner, the popular Negro automobile |backman, restaurant, lodging house and, barbershop proprietor, was |convicted of murder with a recommendation to mercy. ‘The ver. dict was returned Wednesday mornning nhout eleven o’clock after the case had been ia the hands of the jury for about nine hours. Judge Charlton immediately upon receiving the verdict seatenced the de- fendant to life imprisonment. The case tas very stubbornly fought but every bit of evidence given pointed overwhelmingly to the -guilt of the prisoner, *The crime for which Worley and Boggs, also white, whose case will be heard in February, were held was one of the most atrocious in the history of Chatham County and has called for the condemnation of all the law-abiding citizens of the community, both white and black, The history of the erime is as follows : On the night Jof July 31st, two white men, who were found out later to be Worley and Boggs, hired Mr. Jasper H. Turner a Negro automobile hackman operating his own car,-to drive thom over the road, When about 12 iniles from the city a little beyond Monteith, Mr. Turner was struck in the’ head with a sledge hammer and killed, His body. wrapped in a sack, was placed in the automobile carried farther on the road to an empty house and there on the premises of the deserted house deposit- ed ina well. ‘fhe murderers then entering the automobile continued on the road to Oliver Ga., where they washed up and after about two hours departed, returning to Oliver after their car had broken down. Then they decided to dispose of the disabled car and sold it for one hundred dollars and departed. ‘The authorities by this time had been notified of Mr. Turner’s mysterious disappearance from town and a search was instigated. Several days after the disappearance of the unfortunate man and his car his body was discovered in the well by one of the friends of Mr. Turner who was a member of one-of the searching parties. Meanwhile information was received by Sheriff Meldrim of Mr. Turner’s car being bought in Oliver. With the find- ing, therefore, of both the body of the murdered man and his car the authorities set to work to apprehend the guilty parties. But very little clues were given them to work upon, they being a shoe, a hat and a small piece of paper with yritiig on it left in the boarding house where they stopped in Oliver. With these meager bits of evi- dence at their command the authorities worked night and day to catch the murderers and how well they laid their plans was learned about a week hence when the whereabouts of the two men who committed the crime were ascertained. With the carefulness of the experienced Pinkerstons that they are the authorities even after finding ‘out the information which told them of the hiding places of their men went about their work with their accustomed secrecy fearing Jess their men should become suspicious and escape, thereby robbing them of the most sensational captures ever registered by Chatham County authorities. Thus they closed up every gap through which their prey might escape and after a search of two weeks landed their. men in jail, one in Decatur, Ala., the other in Detroit, Mich, The trial of Tuesday and Wednesday was the closing of the first chapter of tho niost notorious crimes in history of Chatham County, thelinal chapter coming to a close in February when Hugh Boggs, Worley’s confeder- rate in the distardly crime, will be given the opportunitysof telling the part he played when Mr, Turner was murdered. Interest in the trial of Worley was very wide and the room whero it took place was crowded with both colored and white citizens from Tuesday morning eight o’clock, two hours before the trial began, until a quarter past two Wednesday morning when the case was giyen to the jury. Col. Parker’s Letter, Blackshear Ga...Nov. 12th. 1911 Editor of The Savannah Tribune : Please allow me Stace in your paper to contradict some of the most flagrant falsehoods that I have read in any newspaper for some time. I saw in the Atlanta Independent of Nov. 5th, the attack of Ben Davis on Mr. Clark Grier accusing him of trying to “lily white” the Republican party of the state. Now Mr. Editor, the Independent knows o should know that Mr. Grier has spent his time and means for the last ten or fifteen years forthe pbuilding ofthe Republican party.” The - Independent also knows in many instances that Mr. Grier has been ostracised for asking for a square deal for the Negro. Mr. Ed- itor, will the Independent please tell the people who stood for Blun and the “lily whites” in Chicago in 1908? Will the Independent please tell whether or not it voted for Blun or Captain Lyons io Ghicago for National Committeemen for Sergey Will the Independent please tell the people what he is getting for this attack, or what is being ose for this uncalled for attack? Now Mr. Editor, the Republican party of the Eleventh Congressional district held a meeting in Waycross, Ga on Septem- ber 2nd, and passed ‘resolutions unani- mously ‘endorsing Mr. Clark Grier for chairman of the state and also National Committee for Georgia and this wasa Negro meeting too. ‘This should show the Independent that true.Republicans are not afraid of Mr. Grier’s lily white- ism, There was not an office holder or an office seeker in the saeco The Independent seems to be for Mr. Henry Jackson for national commit: teeman for Georgia. Mr. Ealitor, I wish to_say right here, that when’ Mr. Clark Grier was sacrificing his time aud means for the upbuilding of the Republican party in Georgia, Mr. Henry Jackson was doing the same thing for the upbuilding ofthe ‘Demo. cratic. party of the state, | Now Mr. Editor 98 for Col.

EZRA'S JOURNEY TO JERUSALEM. Golden Text.—"The hand of our God is upon all them for good that seek him." Ezra 8:22. Ezra 8:21-32. Commit vs. 21, 23. Ezra 8:21-32. Commit vs. 21, 25. Time.—457 B. C. Place.—The river Sharon. Exposition.—1. Seeking Help of God, 21:23. The ancient way by which godly men and women sought the favor, guidance and help of Jehovah was by fasting and prayer (2 Ch. 20:3; Dan. 9:3; Esther 4:15; Luke 2:37). It was a good way. It succeeded in this instance (vs. 23, 31, 32). It would be well if this way were oftener followed today. Some think that fasting is out of place in the present dispensation. They surely have read their Bibles carelessly (Acts 13:23; 14:23). Every great emergency in individual and church life should be met by fasting and prayer. There is, of course, no virtue or merit in the mere abstinence from food or other desirable things, but there is power in that downright realization of our dependence upon God and determination to obtain his help that leads us to forego things that are good and desirable in their right time and place. We would have more of God's guidance and help if we with the simplicity and faith of Ezra cast ourselves upon him in fasting and prayer. The object of the fasting in this case was "that we might humble ourselves before our God" (R. V.). The one who desires God's help must get down low before him (1 Pet. 5:5; 6). If we come seeking things as our right we will not get them, but if we come cast ourselves slimners and casting ourselves (Prov. 3:6). For this we should look to him (Jer. 10:23). Ezra had made his boast in the Lord and was consequently asashed to ask help of man. Well he might be. But the church is not so sensitive nowadays. They proclaim their faith in God who has promised to supply all our needs (Phil. 4:19), and then resort to all sorts of discreditable schemes to extort money out of the godless for God's work. Ezra was unwilling to weaken his testimony to God's goodness and power. His testimony had been a very notable one. "The hand of our God is upon all them that seek him for good; but his power and his wrath is against all them that forsake him." The Bible is full of the truth that forms the first part of this testimony (2 Ch. 16:9; Ps. 33:18, 19; HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF AS SCIPIO WAS TO HANNIBAL SO WAS WELLINGTON TO NAPOLEON. There is probably no more remarkable history parallel than that exhibited by the career of Sciplo Africanus, the hero of the second Punic war, and the duke of Wellington, the conqueror of Napoleon. Each was descended from an ancient and noble family. Each was the second greatest soldier of his age, pitted in a life and death struggle against the greatest. As Sciplo was to Hannival so was Wellington to Napoleon. Hannibal threatened the very existence of Rome; Napoleon was on a fair way to become the master of Europe. Again, Spain was the center of the most splendid achievements of both commanders. The victories of Sculpio in Spain are too well known to need recapitulation, and Wellington's triumphs in the peninsular war form one of the commonplaces of history. Neither of these great generals met his arch-adversary until the final and decisive battles—Zama and Waterloo respectively. And the result of both battles was exile to the defeated chiefs. Hannibal retired to Ephesus; Napoleon was deported to St. Helena. But the parallel does not end here. Both Scipio and Wellington exchanged a military for a political career. And here the same fate, pursued them. Scipio incurred the enmity of the Roman senate; Wellington gained the hostility of the London populace. And here follows the most remarkable feature of the parallel urned between these two great men. Seventeen years elapsed from the battle of Zama—seventeen years to the very day—when the great Scipio was tried on a question of bribery. He was not slow in his defense to remind his judges that on that day he had saved the republic. Seventeen years elapsed from the battle of Waterloo—seventeen years to the very day—when the great Wellington had to take refuge from the attack of a London mob, angered on account of his opposition to the parliament reform bill. The only point in which the parallel falls is this: "Scipio died outside his beloved city of Rome; Wellington has his monument in St. Paul's cathedral, London. But the parallel between the careers of these two extraordinary men remains as one of the curiosities of history." Youth's Companion. 34:15, 22; Lam. 3:25; Rom. 8:28). Happy is the man who believes it, and walks in the power of this truth. He will never fear man (Rom. 8:31). But the last part is just as true (cf. Josh. 23:16; 2 Ch. 15:2; 1 Pet. 3:12), and men should be warned more frequently and faithfully along this line. And the "all" should be emphasized. Every man fancies his case will prove an exception, but there are no exceptions. "He was entreated of us," how often the Bible records instances of answered prayer. How often every true believer can say, "He was entreated of me." The God of the Bible and the God of Christian experience is a God who hears and answers prayer. It was in exact accordance with a very old promise that God listened to them at just this time (Deu. 4:29; see context). Manasseh had tried and proven the same wonderful promise (2 Ch. 33:12, 13). How fortunate that more who are in captivity through sin do not put the promise to the test. 2. Twelve Chief Priests and ten others Commissioned and Exhorted 24-30. Though Ezra was a man of prayer and great and simple faith, he was in no wise a fanatic, but a man of level-headed business sense providing carefully even in the secular details of God's work for things honest in the sight of men as well as God (2 Cor. 8:20, 21). While he could and did trust God, he kept and required an accurate account of God's treasures. That is the Bible way of carrying on God's work. These men who were separated unto his work were regarded as "holy unto the Lord" (v. 28). Those who bear the vessels of the Lord should be holy (Isa. 52:11). They were to exercise great care in the charge of the things committed to their trust, "to watch and keep them" (v. 28). This they did (v. 33). Every servant of God must watch (cf. Mk. 13:32-37) and keep diligently that which is entrusted to him. Their vigilance was not to cease until their work was done and everything turned over to the proper ones at Jerusalem, who should be thereafter responsible. 3. God Brings Ezra and his Company Safely Through to their Destination, 31, 32. It was a long and perilous journey, it took them four months to traverse the desert, they were not equipped for fighting, the way was infested with thievish Bedouin, but God had justified Ezra's testimony to the king. God had proven himself better than an army. He is just as able and ready to deliver us from the hand of the enemy. Our enemy is far more subtle and powerful and dangerous than Ezra's (Eph. 6:12), but he is no match for our deliverer. He too is "a lter in wait by the way" (see R. V.) God's protection was not for a day, but until they reached their journey's end, "We came to Jerusalem," says Ezra. So it will be to us. He will deliver us and protect us until we reach our Jerusalem. How glad Ezra must have been when he reached Jerusalem that he had cast himself so utterly on God. How all-sufficient is his help. To have "the hand of our God upon us" is enough in any time of peril (Rom. 8:31). REACHING FREEZING POINT. The shimmering moonlight silvered the placid water. The tinkle of a banjo down in the cabin floated up the companionway and spread itself around the deck. The girl leaned against the rail. The captain was first. "Miss Oldegirl," he said softly, "from the first minute you decorated this ship with your charming presence I have worshiped you. Yes, worshiped. Worshiped. As an old sea dog, the word ought to have 'ship' in it somewhere. Will you go halves with me for the rest of this earthly cruise?" The girl was just about to answer when the first mate appeared. "Hear me before you promise," he begged. "If you don't make me the happiest man on earth I will jump overboard and stick out my tongue at the lifeboat. Say, yes; ah, s'yees!" Softly, though. The second mate is approaching. "Hear me, ere you decide," he besought. "I love you so much it's a shame. Nobody did. Nobody could Won't you?" With a start the girl awoke and rubbed her eyes with two knuckleless and a sigh. It was her thirty-second birthday and thirty-two is freezing point. NOTHING TO HIM. Pat and Mike made fur fly when they started discussing national insurance. And, of course, they brought the argument to a close in the usual way. "Shure," declared Pat, banging at the table, "it's meself can't see any good in insurance of any kold!" "But," urged Mike, "can't yer see how the employers will be afther havin' to pay for the lolkes of us! There's consolation in that, anyway, bcdad!" "Thrue!" retorted Pat, with a triumphant gleam in his eye. "But answer me this, me boy. What's the good of insurance to a man if his wife's a widow?" RAKING UP OLD;PERSONALITIES. Andrew Jackson was inspecting his latest portrait. "I seem to sport a rather aggressive topnot," he said. "Fortunately, however, they haven't got to calling it a pompadour yet." Feeling that this was where he had something on the progressive statesman from Wisconsin, he smiled grimly.—Chicago Tribune. Wherever homes are grouped, there exists one supreme common interest—the promotion of the public health. On this depends the happiness and efficiency of the individual, the family and society. The requisites for public or community health may be loosely enumerated as follows: Clean air, water, food, clean homes, schools, churches, theaters, factories, shops, offices, conveyances, streets and alleys and clean citizens. Cleanliness means absence of filth, whose presence implies disease germs. Transmissible diseases have their origin in filth and are conveyed to an unsuspecting public in buildings, streets and conveyances as well as by water, food and milk. Add to this the part played by flies, mosquitoes and other insects. The public health movement is coincident with the growth of the science of bacteriology, which makes possible the prevention of most diseases which were wont to have been considered inevitable. This includes the potential elimination of yellow fever and malaria, smallpox, the plague, leprosy, hookworm, typhoid tuberculosis, and all diarrheal diseases; has made possible aseptic surgery and midwifery, and a negligible mortality from diphtheria. The universal acceptance and observance of hygienic principles by the people is the object of the movement. "A knowledge of danger is the surest way of guarding against it," and this knowledge of the immense effect upon the common welfare produced by the destruction of germs before they reach the human body places a vast responsibility upon public officials and public spirited citizens and gives a new meaning to the phrase, "Am I my brother's keeper?" The responsibility for the application of sanitary methods rests upon all who constitute that intangible but powerful agency called public opinion, for it is a well accepted principle that what the majority of the people want that will they get. The fact that certain of our friends are made uneasy by so much talk of disease prevention should not give practical workers for improved health conditions cause for worry—"for the knowledge that certain diseases exist, that they have well-known causes, that they are disseminated by well understood agents, and that their spread can be prevented by well tried methods should make for peace of mind and not for worry." And it should be remembered that germs (and the filth borne diseases) are no respecters of psychological antagonisms, attacking alike the believer and the disbeliever. And while mental therapeutics is a valuable factor in the treatment of diseases of the nervous system, yet "think health—talk health"—"forget disease" is inapplicable to the germ and its extermination. The eye of the sanitary world today is centered upon Col. W. C. Gorgas, whose work has made possible the construction of the Panama canal, preceded as he was by Reed, Carroll, Lazear and others who proved the mosquito a carrier of yellow fever and malaria. Of the agencies, official and voluntary, which are concerned in preventing disease and making life more productive, the first in present interest is the hoped-for national department of health, which the General Federation endorsed at the Cincinnati biennial. The object of a national health department is to investigate the causes of diseases in general, to collect and disseminate such information, and to co-ordinate the various governmental agencies affecting public health into one department with an expert at its head. Such a department would spread throughout the country such authoritative information on the conservation of human beings as the department of agriculture now does in the case of cattle. The government might make maps, as it now does, to show the "beet belt," for example, showing in Dr. Wiley's words, "where the cancer belt is, where the greatest tuberculosis area is, where the typhoid areas, what is the area containing men and women of the finest physiques. Such information would be of illimitable value to the nation in any intelligent attempt at the reduction of disease, and would save millions of dollars to the nation now lost by unrecessary slickness and premature death." Of course a national department of health could have no more to do with the individual practice of medicine than the department of agriculture has to do with the individual management of a. farm. The constitution of the United States makes this impossible in any of the states. Those who oppose federal aid in health matters (the most important that could concern a nation), claiming that it will further the interests of any school or cult, fail to catch the real object of the department, which is to "prevent" disease, and concerns itself not at all with any method of treatment. Perfected federal, state, county and municipal aid and control of health problems is a consummation not only to be wished but worked for, and the obligation of women's clubs, as homemakers and mothers in such efforts, would seem to be clearly defined, for women's clubs have emerged from the self culture period and reached the stage where they work not only for the welfare of their own homes and children, but "for women other than themselves, for children other than their own." The only possible discussion of the question revolves around the point of ways and means. ADVERTISING IS THE KEYNOTE TO BUSINESS SUCCESS ADVERTISING IS THE KEYNOTE TO BUSINESS SUCCESS CHICAGO PAPER INVESTIGATES RESULTS OBTAINED BY AD- VERTISERS USING ITS Does advertising pay? In answer to this general question, one hears many and varied answers. From the constant advertiser the answer is spontaneous and direct, "Yes, advertising always pays." From the spasmic advertiser more different answers come than from any other persons in business, some say it does pay, at some times, others that it depends on circumstances, while others still, say it does not pay. From the business men who do not advertise, we get the answer, "No it does not pay." The reason why such an answer is given is obvious. It is evident that the man who says it does not pay to advertise bases his conclusions upon his ignorance. Not having tried advertising he does not know whether it pays or does not pay, and being blinded by his own narrow prejudice, he is unable to see the full page and even ten and twelve pages of advertisements of the large commercial houses of the city as well as thousands of bill boards confronting him in any direction he may look. The Chicago Negro Business league in their campaign to interest negro business men in the city have discovered numbers of interesting facts. Among the most interesting being the large number of colored men in business who are unknown to business men and the masses of consumers in their own community. At every meeting of the league several people who have been in business for some time in the city are introduced and their business mentioned who are wholly unknown or their business unheard by by members living within one block of their places of business. The reason being they do not advertise. Along this line, Dr. George C. Hall, president of the league, at a recent luncheon of the league, had this to say: "The reason why the negro business man does not get more of the colored business in his community is because he thinks the only thing to do is to rent a store, put up a sign and then sit down and wait for the public to look him up. There are too many people here, looking for the public, for the public to bother to look up a man in an obscure place just because he is a colored man. Note the number of men present here tonight who are in business and yet many of us have never heard of them. Notwithstanding there are a half dozen colored papers in the city who are anxious to advertise their business. You even hear colored men say that their business is principally with the white people. The reason is that the colored people do not know of their business, if they did they would support them. They support me and they are the backbone of all the rest of negro business and professional men in this city. It does not make any difference how much white trade a colored man may have, he would be much better off if he had all of the colored trade in his community and when he does not get it, it is either because he does not advertise or does not treat his customers right." Upon investigation the Chronicle finds that more than ninety per cent. of the business people who do not advertise are complaining of lack of business and that the other ten per cent. are wholly discouraged and are just wafting for an opportunity to close their doors and give the business up altogether. On the other hand the Chronicle finds that ninety per cent. of those who advertise are doing good business and report their business on the increase and in most instances are increasing their stock and expecting to do a larger business; while the other ten per cent. are getting along and are still hopeful. They all consider advertising as a necessary part of their business. In fact they claim that if it were not for advertising they would not be able to keep open. ACCURATE MEASUREMENT; Prof. Frederick W. Williams of Yale, who is an expert on China, believed too many missionaries to the Chinces are tactless. To their tactlessness he imputes the small number of Chinese converts. Professor Williams, at a luncheon at Princeton, said last month: "I have known missionaries as ignorant of tact as Jim Driscoll was ignorant of foot rules. "Jim Driscoll, a farm boy, got a job in a steel mill, and his boss gave him a foot rule one day, and said: "Measure me that plate out there in the yard." "Jim, at the end of a half hour returned and said: "The plate is the length of the rule and three fingers over, with this piece of cobble stone, and the stem of my pipe, and my foot from here to here, bar the toccap." HEROIC TREATMENT. The physician turned to the office patient in the canvas coat and leggins. "You must follow my directions implicitly," he said, handing him a small vial of liquid. "You are to take three drops in water every four hours." "Three drops in water every four hours!" ejaculated the patient, in a bewildered manner. "And I'm an aviator!"—Lippincott's.

New York City.—Three organizations which have been doing a great work in the interest of the negroes of Greater New York, namely, the Committee for Improving the Industrial Conditions of Negroes in New York, the National League for the Protection of Colored Women, and the Committee on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, consolidated with a view to doing more constructive work, and formed what will be known as the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes$^2$ The organization of the new league marks a new departure in social work among negroes as well as in the entire community. This is the first time that a number of social agencies have gotten together with a definite aim of uniting their work and preventing overlapping and duplication. It is also the first time that such organization have come together to make a consolidated appeal to the community for financial support. The National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes will not only act as a clearing house for information, but will intend and direct in a general way the work of the different organizations under its direction. The objects of the league are to promote and to carry on constructive and preventive social work, for improving the social and economic conditions among negroes in urban centers; to bring about co-ordination and co-operation among existing agencies among negroes in urban centers to develop other agencies where necessary; to secure and train negro social workers, and to make such studies in cities as may be required for the carrying out of the objects of the league. The membership of the league consists of equal representation from the membership of the three organizations. The officers are: Prof. E. R. A. Seligman, chairman; Dr. Wm. L. Bulkley, Mrs. Wm. H. Baldwin, Jr., and Jacob W. Mack, vice-chairmen; Edward E. Pratt, secretary; A. S. Prissell, treasurer; A. L. Hollingsworth Wool, assistant treasurer. The executive committee are: Paul D. Cravath, Prof. Felix Adler and Miss Frances A. Kellor from the Committee on Urban Conditions Among Negroes; Dr. E. P. Roberts, Mrs. E. B. Leaf and Mrs. Haley Fiske, from the National League for the Protection of Colored Women; the Rev. Wm. H. Brooks; Abraham Lefkowitz and the Rev. S. H. Bishop, from the Committee for Improving the Industrial Condition of Negroes in New York. The members of the finance committee are: The chairman, secretary treasurer and assistant treasurer, exofficio; V. Everit Macy, Fred R. Moore and Dr. Wm. Jay Schieffelin. The National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes is not only a local committee. Already branches are being organized in various cities throughout the country, which will be under the general direction of the new National League. The object of these committees in other cities will be to do work similar to that done by the Committee on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, which has been in existence in New York city for about one year. This new movement toward the consolidation of the negro activities in New York and other large cities is the outgrowth of the work of the Committee on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, which was organized largely through the efforts of Mrs. Wm. H. Baldwin, Jr., the latter part of 1910. The work of the Committee on Urban Conditions Among Negroes during the past year has been peculiarly successful. In addition to bringing about the organization of the new league, it has made a preliminary survey of the Harlem district, which has resulted in a local movement among the colored residents for improvement. The committee is also conducting the work of the Central Bureau of Negro Fresh Air Agencies and has supervised and directed all the fresh air work among negroes in New York city during the last summer. The committee also conducted a model camp for colored boys at Manorville, L. I., and a playground was established in Harlem. One of the most interesting parts of the committee's work, which will be continued under the national league, is the work done in economics and social science at Fisk university. This work has been conducted with great success by Prof. Geo. E. Haynes, and the students, have not only been given academic work, but practical work in the community as well. This year there has been established two graduate fellowships under the Committee on Urban, Conditions Among Negroes, and two students, one a graduate of Fisk university and the other of Atlanta Biptist college, are studying at the New York School of Philanthropy and Columbia university. The National League for the Prevention of Colored Women has been doing a growing and important work in the community. Stations of the league have been established at Norfolk, Philadelphia, Memphis, Baltimore and New York, where travelers are met and aled. At Philadelphia the league has established its own lodging house. It also keeps a list of reliable employment agencies to which people, seeking employment are referred. Several amusement clubs for young women have been established. The Committee of Improving the Industrial Condition of Negroes in New York, which is one of the older organizations working among negroes, has continued through its committee and officers to carry on, work which has for its object the bettering of the industrial conditions among negroes in New York city. It is promoting toward education, facilities for finding employment for negro artisans and for the promotion of social work among the negro communities in the city. The membership of the executive committee of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes is representative of all points of view and various sections of both the white and colored communities. The remaining membership of the new national league will be chosen by the executive committee already elected. With such representative membership, the success of this new movement seems almost assured. IROQUOIS CLUB ELECTION JAMES LEWIS, JR., CHOSEN PRESIDENT—RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED LAUDING WORK OF W. L. COHEN. New Orleans, La.-At the annual election of officers of the Iroquois club, the following officers were elected: James Lewis, Jr., president; J. Madison Vance, first vice-president; Dr. L. B. Landry, second vice-president; E. O. Moss, third vice-president; Ed Barnes, recording secretary, defeating R. J. Maurise; C. J. Reeves, financial secretary; Dr. J. A. Hardin, treasurer; members of governing committee, Joseph Cavallier, Z. A. Cohn, Jordan Cavallier, Theo. Evans, John Alberts, Dr. Ed Vincent, J. E. Hobbs and E. M. Holland. At a recent meeting of the club called to nominate officers in conformity with the 'recommendations of the special committee on reorganization, of which Attorney J. M. Vance was chairman, the following resolution offered by Ed Barnes, was unanimously adopted: "Whereas, Hon. W. L. Cohen, president of the club for twelve successive terms of one year each, or as can be said since its organization down to the present, has declared his inability to further serve the club in that high office, and in view of the fact that his splendid executive ability, coupled with the valuable services he has rendered were largely instrumental in advancing the club and proved a potent factor in its existence to this time, thereby manifesting a devotion that none will gainsay; and "Whereas, After more than a decade of faithful and honest service volunteered and put forth to maintain, and continue the wide reputation this club enjoys abroad, it is meet and proper that we should express our regrets that his pressing business affairs compels him to relinquish the throttle and commit it to the hands of others; therefore, be it "Resolved, That the Iroquois club in meeting assembled on this date reiterates the abiding faith and confidence it has reposed and still reposes in W. L. Cohen, its retiring president, and places the highest estimate on the services and sacrifices he rendered unselfishly for the club's uplift. "Resolved, Further, That as a mark of esteem to Hon. W. L. Cohen, who now descends from his office to take a place in the ranks of active workers—"The Men Behind the Gun," carrying with him the good will and wishes of the members, the club endorses the proposition to confer on him as a token of appreciation of his real worth, the exceptional distinction of honorary life member; and that his name and the proposed title be placed accordingly on the ballot along with the officers and members of the governing committee to be voted for, and so that each qualified voter may register his approval to so elect Hon. W. L. Cohen the words "For and Against" shall be printed on said ballot." WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY FOR CONGO REGION WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY FOR CONGO REGION Berlin, Germany.—An ambitious venture with wireless telegraphy is about to be tried by the German government in the colony of German East Africa. At present that colony is without a direct cable connection with Germany and uses a British line. The government is planning a (continuation to Kamerun of the telegraph line recently carried down) the Moroccan coast to connect with the new Bramlan-German cable. It is further planned to send wireless messages across the vast Congo wilderness to Central East Africa. The central station in that colony will be erected at Tabora, which lies about 175 miles south-of Lake Victoria. It is about 2,500 miles from Kamerun station, and a specially powerful equipment will be required. The authorities apparently entertain no doubt as to the success of the undertaking, and they even expect to make substantial reductions in the cost of cabling to East Africa. Of Interest to Our Women NEW DINNER PLATES. It has become the fashion to serve conversational service plates, as one woman called them. They create conversation among the guests at a luncheon or dinner table between courses. The set is known as the Jungle Folk plates. Each one illustrates one of the twelve stories which Kipling made famous not only for children but for grown-ups. One of the plates has the scene where Mowgll teases the Red Dog, and another one has the lullaby of the Seal: But splash and grow strong, And you can't be wrong, Child of the Open Sea. An American artist invented these plates and did the coloring and the designs, but the china was made in France. They are not cheap, for the work has a genuine artistic merit, but it is probable that we shall see them widely copied in American households in more inexpensive forms. THE ALUMINUM THIMBLE. There are some things not of common knowledge by far that the embroiderer in silk will be glad to learn. One of these is the use of the aluminium thimble in place of the silver or gold one of which you might be the proud possessor. The steel or the silver or gold thimble are worked into shape and this causes the silk to catch on them to the annoyance of the crocheter. Now the everywhere apparent and little used aluminium thimble is pressed into shape and therefore has no metal projections, which, though infinitesimal, are still large enough to haggle and harass the silk, or the same reason use a larger needle. The silk will pass through the cloth easier. USEFUL HINTS. Dipping the tips of the fingers in warm olive oil every night is the best method for keeping the nails in good condition. Raw eggs rubbed into the hair and scalp before washing are excellent, and tend to prevent the hair from becoming gray. To clean rugs, lay them straight and brush with a stiff, dry scrubbing brush. This is much better than shaking or beating them. In making cranberry jelly or jam, much less sugar will be required if the sugar is not added until the fruit has been well cooked. The substitution of cream for milk in the making of pumpkin pie will result in a most delicate dessert. CATS IN THE NURSERY. Though it is an exploded idea that a cat sucks away an infant's breath, it is, nevertheless, a careless mother that will allow a cat to cuddle near a baby at any time. They are just as liable to lie across the baby's throat and thus cause suffocation as they are to curl up at the foot of the cradle or crib. Furthermore, it is altogether unhealthy in the fact that not only is the child liable to breathe in the suspired breath of the cat, but also if the Tabby is a mouser, it is liable to carry disease from sewer rats and the like without the least suspicion. INFLUENCE OF THE MONTHS. A sportswoman has discovered that, to expose one's self, as she does, to the influence of nature by living much in the open air, develops a different temperament each month. "It seems to me that in January we are apprehensive," she says; "In February, speculative; in May, impulsive; in June, appreciative; in July—well, in July it is generally too hot to be anything but submissive; in August, aggressive, and in October, contemplative. For November and December words fall me to define a temperament. The hunting woman is in her seventh heaven and as happy as can be." THE WINDOW SEAT. Ofttimes it is inconvenient to go to the expense of having a window seat built in a bay window that graces a college girl's room. It is surprisingly cheap to have one built out of store boxes. Do not make the mistake of having the usual narrow seat built, but, rather, a broad, serviceable one that will permit comfortable reclining among the pillows and cushions. This latter may not be so graceful as the smaller seat, but it is surely more comfortable. Large divan covers will hide the material of which the seat is constructed. OUTING SKIRTS. This season many a woman has gone away to the mountains with three or four silk or pongee outing skirts, such as are worn by men. Men's shirts, with the soft turnover collar and turnback cuffs, appeal to the woman who enjoys life in the open, and, strange as it may seem, they are not unbecoming. GOLD DUST ABSORBER. A common floor mop soaked in coal oil makes a good dust absorber. Soak the mop thoroughly, after which hang it out in the air for three or four days; it will then be ready for use. After the mop has been used on the floor for some time and seems dirty and full of dust it should be washed in hot soap suds and dried, then given the oil treatment again. It will be as good as new. CORRECT SERVING. At large dinners, where there are a number of footmen, the order of waiting at table is to commence serving each course simultaneously to the women seated on the right hand and left hand side of the host, and thence to each guest in succession, in the order in which they are seated. With one footman or waitress, service commences with the woman seated at the right hand of the master of the house, thence continuing around the table. The guests are always served in the order in which they are seated, never the women first and then the men. If the hostess prefers to follow the style which many hostesses do prefer, of being served first in order to see that each course is correctly prepared after she has been served she should see that the guest at the right of the host is served and thence to each guest in succession. CLEANING BLACK SILK. One of the cleaning processes for black silk that is far from being widely known is the coffee method. It is as follows: Boll some coffee until there is no further aroma rising therefrom. Lay the silk article that is to be sponged on a table or board and sponge on the side that is to show. After the sponging is thoroughly done turn the wrong side and iron with fairly hot iron, preferably one that is kept at a constant heat such as the gas or electric iron variety, though the other will do if rapid changes are made and those changes as often as necessary, say minute intervals. This will remove the spots far offener than the malt liquor process that has long been the fashion, and not only will this give tone to the black material, but make the article's texture appear new. Let dry slightly before ironing, TEXTURE OF CLOTH. There are some materials that are marked all wool and others are frankly marked cotton and wool mixture. There is a certain feel to cotton even when it is well hidden. The test for this is to unravel two threads, one in the cross width and one in the length. A woolen thread breaks with an irregular, fringy edging, crisp break. In the mannish mixture be sure that the light and not the dark threads are cotton, or in a short time you will have a rusty black or dingy brown material. FRIED SPRING CHICKEN. Put frying pan on stone with a half tablespoonful each of lard and butter; when hot lay on the pieces of chicken sprinkled with flour, salt and pepper, place over lid, and cook over moderate fire; when a light brown turn and sprinkle flour, salt, and pepper over top, as at first. If necessary add more lard and butter and cook slowly until done, keeping closely covered. Make gravy same as for baked chicken, adding the giblets, which have been boiled three-quarters of an hour and chopped fine. SAVORY SCRAMBLED EGGS. Savory scrambled eggs, which belong to the same peppery foreign family as Spanish omelet, is a favorite for summer breakfast or luncheon in many homes. A dozen fresh green peppers are roasted a few minutes, then peeled and all the biting seeds and membrane removed. Chop them up, cook in a very little water till tender and butter well. Six or eight eggs are beaten as usual, are salted and added to the peppers and the whole is fried for a moment in hot butter. Unusual but tasty. OLD VIRGINIA CORN BREAD. Make about a quart of mush and while it is hot pour in half a gallon of cold water. Stir in meal enough to make rather a stiff dough and set where it will keep warm until it rises. Before baking put in half teaspoonful of soda and some salt. For breakfast bake on griddle in cakes. Have griddle hot and well greased. If you wish to bake in pone let it raise awhile in pan until light. SALAD. In the center of a salad bowl lined with lettuce leaves place a mound of strawberries (or cherries or red currants), outside this a ring of blueberries or black raspberries. Serve with a dressing made by dissolving a cup of sugar in a half cup of water, letting it come to a boll, and add a wine glassful of orange juice and the juice of a lemon. TO KEEP BREAD FRESH. When you have a large supply of bread, on hand to keep it fresh place a wet sponge in an open stein or pint jar and place it in the bread box. This will keep a slight damness in the confined air enough to keep soft the crust and not cause bread to become soggy. Try this when you have bought enough to supply the family over Sunday. Many Colored Waiters and Bellmen Thrown Out of Employment. MANAGERS RESPONSIBLE HOTEL MANAGERS' ASSOCIATION FORMS AGREEMENT TO REPLACE COLORED HELP WITH WHITE. New York City.—Since September nearly one hundred colored waiters and bellman have been thrown out of employment in several of the large hotels and restaurants in New York city and their places filled by whites. The discharge of colored help and the employment of whites has been going on with such frequency for the past two months that an investigation of hotel conditions was made and it was discovered that the wholesale discharge of colored waiters and bellman has been brought about at the instance of the Hotel Men's association. The members of the association have shown an unwillingness to discuss the subject, although one white head bellman, who only a few days ago went to work with a new force at one of the large hotels, supplanting colored bellmen, admitted that he was in his new position thanks to the Hotel Men's association. Colored hotel men view the present situation with unconcealed alarm, and do not hesitate to say that something must be done at once or the colored waiters and bellmen will be out of the white hotels and restaurants in New York city altogether. There are quite a number of bellmen and waiters now idle, the number having been increased last week when two more hotels discharged their colored help. The men were greatly surprised when given notice that their services were no longer required, and were unaware of the agreement that had been reached by the Hotel Men's association to get rid of all colored help in favor of white. It is said that at a meeting of hotel men held in August a resolution was adopted declaring that any hotel in New York employing colored waiters, etc., was not considered first class. Since then it has been noticeable that almost every week has brought about the dismissal of colored waiters and bellmen from some hostelry. The attention of the various associations in New York organized to promote the industrial welfare of the negroes of this city has been called to the turning out of colored help in the different hotels, and steps will be begun this week by such organizations as the Committee for Improving the Industrial Conditions of Negroes in New York and the Committee on Urban Conditions Among Negroes to bring about more favorable conditions for the colored hotel men. NORMANDY HUGGETS STONES THAT FIND THEIR WAY INTO THE MOUTHS OF MANY. PEOPLE. It is a far cry from "the lonely stretches of the wave kissed shore" to false teeth, but by unexpected paths we often descend abruptly from the sublime to the utilitarian. Many a man calmly, chewing an indestructible steak in America little dreams that the picturesque coast of Normandy has been sacrificed to provide him with molars. Such is the painful fact, however. If you walk along the southern shore of the English channel between Dieppe and Havre you will see men and boys searching for stones of a certain size and shape from a varied collection of rocks which form the beach. These are put into sacks and shipped to America, where they are converted into porcelain. The industry—for such is the term used to designate this invigorating occupation—has grown to considerable proportions in the past few years. Its simplicity is perhaps its greatest charm. Having once learned the kind of stone you are looking for, all that is required of you is to pick it up. If you do this steadily and uncomplainingly for several hours you will be sure to fill a sack. Then all you have to do is to fling it jauntily over your shoulder, run across the bowlers to the superintendent and demand one franc. With this wealth in your pocket you can then sit down and look dreamily over the water while you allow your imagination full play. You seem to see the stones after a long voyage across the Atlantic being slowly rescued from their rude state. Bit by bit they are dragged from their primitive nothingness up to the heights of twentieth century porcelain. They are then shaped, polished, mounted on a gold plovt—but why go into it? It is too painful—Minneapolis Bellman. DISCOURAGING OUTLOOK. "In the Cumberland mountains of East Tennessee," the Hon. "Bob" Taylor says, "a good coon dog is considered a valuable asset. "A visitor once asked a native, Bill Smoon, how many dogs he had. "A ain't got but five," said Bill, defectedly. "Looks like I never kin git a start on dogs agin."—Lippincott's. HONORARY DEGREE CONFERRED + ON HIM BY VICTORIA: UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO—ADDRESS ON "THE BROTHERHOOD OF MAN." Toronto, Can.—While in Toronto Bishop C. S. Smith of the A. M. E. church was awarded an honorary degree by the Victoria university. The occasion marked the first time in the history, of Canada that a university of this country conferred such an honor on a negro. In his address at the Ecumenical conference on "The Brotherhood of Man," Bishop Smith stated that there exists too much exaltation of race superiority and too little exaltation of life and spirit purpose of the Lord Jesus Christ. He said in part: "I wish to speak of the spirit that should possess the propagandist of the Christian religion as he goes out among the non-Christian races. What is the Christ spirit? What is the Christ idea of the brotherhood of man, his idea as it relates to the commonwealth of mankind? If the propagandist of the Christian religion goes out among the non-Christian races asserting the spirit of race superiority, he finds himself at once handicapped. And from my observation in foreign fields I am frank to confess, though I do it regretfully, that at least in many instances, there is too much exaltation of race superiority and too little exaltation of the life and spirit and purpose of the Lord Jesus Christ. "Point to a single utterance of the master wherein he boasted of his racial lineage, wherein he emphasized or laid stress upon the mere incident of race superiority. I say 'the mere incident' because there are four things for which no man is responsible—of whom he was born, when he was born, where he was born, and how he was born. I know that there is no lack of stressing the idea of the fatherhood of God and the sonship of Christ. But there is a woeful lacking of stressing the brotherhood of man—not as white men, not as black men, not as yellow men, not as red men, not as brown men, but as men. "Now, I postulate that if the brotherhood of man is not one of the cardinal and fundamental teachings of the New Testament, then the whole scheme of the Christian religion is but a cunningly devised sable, the agony of Calvary the echo of a deceiving dream, and the reputed vicious death of Christ a mere figment of the imagination. Jesus said: 'If I be lifted up I will draw all men unto me. All ye are brethren. Love one another, even as I have loved you. Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.' And unless the brotherhood of man is brought into realization here the apocalyptic vision never becomes a reality—the vision wherein John saw a number that no man could number gathered together out of every tribe and tongue under heaven; and when the inquiry was made, 'Who are these?' the answer was not white men, not black men, not yellow men, not red men, not brown men. No, but 'these are they who have come up through great tribulation and have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the lamb.'" USED WELLS AS GRANARIES? In the counties of Kent and Sussex in England there are to be seen certain curious well-like excavations, popularly supposed to date from the time of Danish rule in England. These are invariably about three feet in diameter, and seldom less than sixty feet in depth. Ingress and egress were provided for by means of rude ladders and hide ropes. Various explanations have been offered to account for their existence, some supposing them to have been places of refuge, others that they were connected with secret forms of worship, still others that they were dug for: the extraction of chalk and flint. The latest theory inclines to the view that the holes were made to serve as granaries. They are found close together in groups, corresponding with the habit of various tribes of clustering in restricted areas.—Harper's Weekly. . DESERTED AT THE END. William the Conqueror was a man of very gross habit of body and at the siege of Mantes was hurt by the rearing of his horse, the pommel of the saddle striking the king in the abdomen and causing injuries from which he dled in a few days. Before his death he was deserted by all his attendants, who stole and carried off even the coverings of the bed on which he lay. The body remained on the floor of the room which the king dled for two days before it was buried by charitable monks from a neighboring monastery. EXPLAINED. "I thought you told me this place was so healthy that nobody ever died here." objected the prospective purchaser to the real estate agent. "I did, and I'll stick to it." "I'll bet you will. You also told me that people in this syurbur didn't have to pay grocery bills, because the ground raised their vegetables for the—" "I told you that, too." "How do you account for the fact that one of your prominent citizens dled of starvation yesterday." He woundeth and he' cureth; he striketh and his hands shall heal.—Job, 5:18-20. Bowed down with affliction, an outcast from God and man, bereft of his fortunes, racked by disease, wounded in body and mind, and writhing under the scorn of false friends, Job cries out in the bitterness of his heart: "Truly the life of man upon earth is a warfare!" Of all the truths of sacred Scripture, none is truer, none more universally recognized, than this: "Man born of woman, living but a short time, is filled with many miseries." For most of us the brief span of human existence, from the cradle to the grave, is one of almost ceaseless suffering. We enter the world with a cry on our lips and leave it in pain and sorrow. Go where we will, into the mansions of the rich or the hovels of the poor, everywhere it is the same old story of sorrow and suffering. Not even the most highly pampered are free from it; and often when their happiness appears at its zenith, it may be closest to its nadir. Human life is, in fact, a maze in which joy and grief are strangely mixed, and where the confines of mirth and pleasure often border on those of sorrow and death. As Thomas A. Kempis has it: "Turn thyself upwards or turn thyself downwards, turn thyself inwards or turn thyself outwards, the cross is always before thee." And the worst of it is that the more we try to escape it, the larger and blacker it looms up before us. The poor repine at their poverty and envy the rich, while the wealthy, on the other hand, not infrequently elvy the health and sound sleepfulness of the poor. Patriotism, the excitement of battle, or the strong faith of the martyr, may make less painful even the pangs of death. But this slow, lifelong martyrdom of ours, this daily, hourly struggle with pain—sometimes up and sometimes down—falling and rising only to fall again. Every fiber of our nature rebels against it, and if the hand of God had not sustained us, we would be as utterly powerless to stay our course as to stop the ebb and flow of the tide. But why insist on the fact of human misery? We are all only too familiar with it. Above all, why make it the theme of a Christian serman when everybody knows that the existence of physical evil is one of the infidel's stock-In-trade arguments against an over-ruling Providence? We may answer that there is no fear or danger in facing the ugly thing and painting it in its ugliest form, and that we need fear no dearth of good reasons for it on the part of God or man. Of one thing we may be sure—that suffering is not necessarily a mark of God's wrath or displeasure. KING SOLOMON'S MINES THEY MAY HAVE BEEN THE ANCIENT GOLD VORKINGS AT RHODESIA. Rhodesia, that province of British Africa lying between the Zambezi and the Limpopo rivers, has considerable deposits of gold. The ancients mined and carried away enormous quantities of the precious metal, but under the scientific mining systems of the present day their operations will be greatly surpassed. It has been thought that Rhodesia was the ancient land of Ophir, the land of the mysterious "King Solomon's mines," but this theory is strongly combated by some investigators. The ancient gold workings are the basis of modern workings. For every ten square miles of Rhodesia, it is stated, there was one ancient mine—that is, there are 75,000 old workings—which means that a stupendous wealth was dug out of the earth before the days of Cecil Rhodes. Much of this wealth must have gone to the north and east. It was probably wrought into the crown of the Queen of Sheba and filled the coffers of Solomon. The ancient smelting furnaces are said still to be of easy recognition. They are sunk into the "floor." The furnace blowpipes are made of the finest grinite powder cement, and the nozzles of the blowpipes are covered with splashes of gold. The lings of the holes are covered with specks of gold. When the first lining became worn by the heat a fresh lining of cement of an excellent quality, which has outlasted time, was smeared round on top of the old lining. It is said that one can take an old lining, split off the layers with a knife and find gold splashes in abundance. The tools of the ancient workers which have so far been discovered. include a small soapstone hammer and burnishing stones of water worn rock, to which gold still adheres. There are evidences that the ancients carried on an extensive industry in the manufacture of gold ornaments and utensils. THE LOCAL BAND. "I was in a southern town," said a dramatic producer, "trying to get up a show. The landlord of the chief and only hotel seemed intelligent, and I interviewed him, as a preliminary. Your town boasts a band, does it not? I asked. 'Well, no,' he responded. 'We've got a band, but we don't boast of it. We test endurs it.' for both the Scriptures and ecclesiastical history show clearly that his own best friends have suffered most—"Whom he loveth he chastiseth, and he scourgeth every son whom he receiveth." Witness the case of Job, or David, of St. Paul and the other apostles, who were all forced, to drain the challice of bitterness, sometimes to the very dregs. No one has ever yet attained to eminence in the spiritual life, no one has ever yet accomplished anything really great for God, without first passing through this fiery ordeal. "Because, thou want acceptable to God it was necessary that temptation (or suffering) should prove thee." God, in his omnipotence, could easily, if he so willed, put an end to physical suffering, but he wills it as a means of spiritual development. It is, in truth, to the soul what exercise is to the body. "Adversity is good for us at times," says the devout Thomas a Kempis. "It makes a man enter into himself and realize that he is in a state of banishment, and should not place his hopes in anything of this world. It is good that we sometimes, suffer contradiction and that men have, an evil opinion of us, even when we do and intend well. For then we better run to God, our inward witness, when outwardly we are despised by men." Even worldly writers, from a worldly point of view, recognize the uses of suffering. "Calamity," says one of the poets, "is the perfect mirror in which we learn to see and know ourselves." Irving tells us that "it is only little minds that are tamed and subdued by misfortune; great minds rise above it." And Longfellow, that "the rays of happiness, like those of light, are colorless when unbroken." No man who has not gone through the fiery ordeal of suffering can truthfully be styled a man of strong character. Those who have never been sick cannot properly appreciate the boon of health. We rarely set such store by God's glowing sunshine as after a period of rain and storm. Our capacity for enjoyment is generally measured by our capacity for suffering. It is really only those who know how to suffer who know, too, how really to enjoy. If we had nothing to suffer here, earth would be a Paradise, and there would be little logging for the true abiding place of God's elect. If it is hard enough to die now, despite all the miseries of life, how much more difficult would it be were there nothing to suffer here! And then to think of the reward—that "if we suffer with him we shall also reign with him; that if we willingly remain with him on Calvary, we shall be with him, too, on the Mount of the Ascension; that our present sufferings, momentary and light, work for us above measure—exceedingly—an eternal weight of glory," and, finally, that "our sufferings are not to be compared with the glory to come that shall be revealed in us." These suggestions, few and random though they are, should suffice to make us see in suffering not the haunting horror of ghost or demon, but, standing at the head of the narrow and thorny way, with radiant face and snowy garb, and hand uplifted in hope, the Angel of the Resurrection. AN ERRONEOUS READING. "That's a misinterpretation," said Representative Talliafero of a certain bill, according to an exchange. "That ministerprets the people's wishes as badly as the Jacksonville crier misinterpreted Shakespeare. "In a Jacksonville court the other day a lawyer quoted Shakespeare—'Who steals my purse steals trash'—to a deaf Judge. "What's that?' the judge demanded. "Who steals my purse steals trash,' the lawyer repeated; 'Twas something, nothing; 'twas mine, 'tis his and has been slave—' "Louder! I can't hear you,' said the judge irritably. "Who steals my purse,' repeated the unfortunate lawyer, 'steals trash.' 'Twas—' "Can't you speak up?' growled the deaf judge. "At this point the crieer thought it time to interfere. He bent over the judge and shouted in his ear: "He says, sir, that anybody what steals his pocketbook won't get nothing." A PRACTICAL PATRIOT. Senator Root, at a luncheon at the Washington Country club, said of war: "Our arbitration treaties come none too soon. The world is getting tired of war. This fact was well brought home to me the other day by the remark of an English diplomat. "He said that at the end of the Boer war two unionists were wrangling at a dinner. "I,' said the first unionist—a lieutenant of volunteers—I went to the war and defended my country.' "'Pshaw! What of that?' the other retorted. 'I stayed in my country and defended the war.'" HOLY LANDS. The Holy Land is a term used, especially by Christians, to designate Palestine as being the scene of the birth, ministry and death of Christ, but also employed by other religious sects to describe the places sacred to them from association. Thus the Mohammedans speak of Mecca as the Holy Land, it being the birthplace of Mohammed. The Chinese Buddhists call India the Holy Land because the founder of their religion was born there, while the Greeks bestow this, same title on Ellis, where was situated the temple of Olympian Zeus. {N OLD PHILADELPHIA MINT Some Curlous Dlscoverles Made In the Work of Removing the Bullding’s Foundation, . In removing the foundations of the coinage building of the old mint, at 37 and 39 North Seventh street, #ome quaint specimens of old-time building construction, including sev- eral curious vaults, were uncorered. Whe cellar in which the vaults were located was reached by heavy stone steps, supported by brick or stone arches, a method handed down from mediaeval times. One of the vaults in which bullion was stored consist- ed of a vault-within a vault, and was designed, it is said, at the time of the war of 1812 to conceal materials which could not be readily trans- ported to other hiding places. Sev- eral small windows in the cellar were protected by heavy hand-wrought iron bars., These have been preserved and will be added, along with other relics, such as locks and hinges, to the collection in Independence hall, In digging out an old well in the yard.a number of copper coina, bear- ing. the dates 1716 and 1818, were found, as well as a quantity of scrap copper from which the coins had, been cut. From old papers relating to a lawsuit, found by Frank H. Stewart, president of the company which owns the property, it was as- cerlained that five buildings were originally included in the old mint, all of them grouped around the coin- age building. It is an historic fact that this old structure, which was the Iast of these buildings to’ be razed, was the first building of any description erected by authority of the United States congress.—Phila- delphia Record.

HER TERRIBLE|DREAM. Her face is drawn, her eyes are haggard and sunken, and her expres- sion is that of a woman on the verge of nervous prostration, “What in the world is wrong?” asks the astonished friend. “I never . saw anyone look so terribly.” “Tt is all because of an awful nightmare I hed last night,” explains the sufferer. “It simply shattered my nerves, and, although I know it was merely a dream, still I cannot rid myself of its effects; I dreamed T was called upon unexpectedly to -plan a¥dinner for Dr. Wiley, Dr. Woods Hutchinson and Upton Sin- clair.” —Life, : AUSTRALIAN CITIES, Of the total population of Austra- lia—4,275,306—1,429,135 dwell in four cities, namely, Sydney, 577,189 ; Melbourne, 538,000; Adelaide, 178,- 300; Brisbane, 135,655.

Y., haa commandeered a big Leg- horn rooster on which to go joy rid- ing. No one has taught the cat the trick, and she never tries to mount the beck of any other fowl in the barnyard but the Leghorn. When puss feels like taking a ride around the premises she waits until the Leg- horn ‘passes, and leaps on his back, sitting there almost upright like a ‘human equestrian, hind feet hanging down esch side of his ‘wings and front paws firmly clasping the neck of the unhappy bird. At first the rooster was terrified and tried to run away with his strange burden, but the faster he ran the more the cling- ing cat seemed to enjoy it, and Chan- ticleer is now resigned to bear his tormentor around the yard until she is tired and slips off his back. He has to keep going, whether he wants to or not, as the cat promptly rakes him across the comb if he stands still. The only way the Leghom can avoid the cat is by remaining on his perch in the henhouse, “and some- times he will stay there all day, re- fusing to come down even for his corn. | NEEDED CAT FOR HIS HERO Writer of Gory Romance Found His Villains Had Killed One Man Seven Times. * He sat down with a fountain pen, and of paper a ream or two; and ‘started a story of three bad men, who tan a terrible coiners’ den, and com- mitted a murder now and then, in the style that such fellows do. He threw in a sweet little love af- fair, a ghost and a smuggler’s cave; a moated grange and a missing heir, a lunatic with a vacant stare, a wicked-eyed woman with red-gold hair, who worshiped the hero brave. But, alas! that the story went astray through an overwealth of crimes, for in chapter three, ’tis sad to say, three bad men did cruelly slay the hero bold in a different way, no less than seven times. “To write,” mused the youth, “is beyond my ken,” as in blank despait he sat. «“T’ve finished forever with those bad men. Farewell ghost, grange, and fountain pen; and if ever I start to write again my hero shall be 2 cat!” FOR TIGHT WINDOWS, Cold and damp weather gives s0 much trouble in the shape of tight- ening of the window and door frames. To overcome this if a little petroleum jelly is brushed in the slot of the window frame and a little ker- sene is put on the small vessel aver which the rope travels there will be no further trouble experienced dur- ing the cold months with this, An- other matter which now ought to be attended to is the proper care of the shutter fasteners. A few drops of kerosene should be placed on them so that the rust will be eaten away and the closing of them every night will not be such an irksome task as it would be were this not done. The hinges, of the shutters should be treated in like manner only oftener. WHAT DOES SHE DO? Really modern couples are just as aptto be truly mated as the old- fashioned sort of which we read about in the romances. A young Clevelander, who is often described as a “man about town,” became en- guged not long ago and he epoke as follows to the lady who had honored him. : “J don’t want to have anything that I must hide after we are mar- ried, dear. So I may as well tell you that I play poker, I smoke cig- arettes, I drink, I stay out late and I bet on the races.” 5 * «}'m glad to hear you say 80,” said the up-to-date girl, brightly. “I was so afraid that you and I wouldn’t be perfect companions!” -* GIVE EVERY BOY A SHOTGUN, Differing from Mr. Carnegie, who would have every man lay down his rifle forever, Sir Gilbert Parker, the Canadian author, would, put a rifle into the hands of every boy. “If] had the power I would enact nation- al service,” he writes; “that is, the training of every boy before he en- ters upon thé battle of life, or at the beginning of that battle, to bear arms in defgnce of his country, with its consequent physical and moral advantages.”—From the Strend, OK KR RK OK KA * 3 * = AMONG THE MASONS, 4 * x ERK KERR RHE HR EEF ‘ It is better to be nobly remembered than nobly born.

Past Grand Master Whelam, of Wis- consin, asks the following pointed questions, which cach member may well apply to himself; “What has Masonry gained by your membership? You have been permitted to enjoy its privileges and drink decep at the fountain of knowledge it has provided for you. What have you given in return? Is one human heart happier today because of a-good deed you have done in the name of Masonry? If not, why not? The opportunity certainly has been present,”—Ex, + » Brethren AU. .

We are members of the universal religion not narrowed to sect. Whilst as Christians we wérship God through Jesus Christ, as Parsees through Zoroaster, as Mo- hammedans through Mohammed, as Jews through Moses, we belleve that in every nation he that feareth God and worketh righteousness, is accep- ted of Him. All Masons, therefore, whether Christians, Parees, Jews or Mohammedans, who clolate not the rule of right written by the Almighty upon the tablet of the heart, who fear Him and work righteousness, we are to acknowledge as brethren; and though we take different roads we are not to be angry with or persecute each other on that account.
