Hillsville, Va—A troop of mountain outlaws rode down out of the Blue Ridge to the Carroll County Court- house here Thursday and ‘assassinated the judge upon the bench, the prosecu- tor before the bar and the sheriff at the door in less time than It takes to tell ‘it while sentence was being pro- nounced upon Floyd Alien, one of their number. When the crack of the rifles and pistols died away only one member of the human fabric of the court—Dexter Goad, the clerk—waa alive, and he had been, wounded. Jurymen and onlook- ers Were struck by the fusillade, but none was wounded seriously. - $3,000 Reward Offered. A reward of $1,000 for the capture of the band made by Governor Mann ~ was increased to $3,000. The Gover- tior's proclamation states that $300 each will be pald for individual mem- bers of the band, taken dead or alive. Capt. F. W. Devant, of the Second Virginia Regiment, has been ordered to come here with 20 men, 20 rifles and ammunition. The troops at Réancke and Lynchburg probably may not be calléd for. _ _ The shooting terrorized Hillsville to the point of paralysis. There was not @ man to give am order or. organize “a pursuit. Citizens fled to places of ~-safety and mothers gathered up their children, while the assassins rode out attown. 8 How the Victims Died: ~~ Judge Thornton L. Massie rose from his chair as the bullets struck him and fell across his desk. Commonwealth's Attorney William Féster, with half a dozen bullets in his brain, crumpled down to the floor. Sheriff Lewis Webb was shot and Killed as he reached for his revolver. Bullets grazed Clerk Dexter Goad and in the confusion he was reported killed. Jurors who had been slightly ‘wounded were reported dead and by that indefinable method of communi- cation which prevails in the woodland country reports of a wholesale slaugh- ter-went out to the countryside. . Fearlessly Did Their Duty. _Floyd Allen was before the bar con- victed of taking a prisoner from a deputy sheriff. Allen had struck the sheriff over the head with the butt of a rifle and the prisoner escaped. Sheriff Webb had gone into the moun- tains and taken Allen, despite dire warnings of what such a venture might mean. Attorney Foster had prosecuted him fearlessly and a moun- taineer jury gathered from the in- land section—for no man in Carroll county cared to sit on the trial of an Allen—had convicted him. His sentence attracted an unusually large gathering to the quaint old red brick courthouse, which stands on a green square, well in the centre of the village. Those who could not get in the small room peered through the windows, opened to the first days of apring. Ss Mountaineers Ride Up. Just as Allen was about to be called for sentence his brothers, Sidney and Jack, at the head of a troop of 20 mountairfeers, rode up to the court- house. -Their hardy ponies, splashed with mud, testified to a long ride through the hills. Judge Massie mounted the bench and Prosecutor Foster moved sentence upon Allen, who stood up. There was a shuffling of feet and a general move- ment among the mountaineers in the back of the room, but no sign to fore- tell the terrible tragedy then in the minds of every one of them. Shotsa Cut Short Sentence. The usual legal formalities over, Judge Massie began pronouncing sentence. The last words that fell from his lips precipitated the tragedy. “One year at hard labor”—— > , Before ‘the last word had ceased’to réverberate the fusillade began. Allen, . With an oath that he would never go te’prison, sprang out of the prisoners’ » dock as Judge Massie collapsed upon «tbe bench. Another roar of shots, and Progecutor Foster was on the floor in “sa heap. Sheriff Webb was springing »forward tor his prisoner when the y lead found him, ~, enhen, holding the panic-stricken jurors and onlookers at bay, the as- ‘sassins backed out of the Courthouse 4 and: acress ‘the green to the troop of ponies. In a second they were gallop- as ing like mad through the aroused vil- lage and off to the hills. With them the assassins half carried, halt dragged one of their number, wound- ed, and it was sald that this was Sid- ney Allen, one of the brothers. Three jurors—C. C. Fowler, A. C. Kane and Faddis—and A. T. Howlett, Bruce Marshall and Stuart Worrell, by-standers, were wounded, Floyd Allen, the prisoner at the bar, was shot several times, probably not fatally. Sheriff Webb's deputy, with county folks, is guarding Allen. REWARD OF $3,000. Gov. Mann Dispatches Special Officers To the Scene. FO me SeCne. Richmond, Va—Governor Mann has offered a reward of $3,000 for the as; sassins of Judge Massie and others at Hillsville. The Governor issued the following statement: The murder of the judge, common- wealth’s attorney and sheriff of Car- roll county occurred about 9 o'clock. Hillsville, the county seat of Carroll, is about five miles from any railroad, but by 9.45 I had arranged for a force of picked men to go by special train to Hillsville, arrest the murderers, and preserve the peace. I offered a re- ward for the arrest’ of the murderers, and as Carroll is on the North Carolina line, wired the governor of that State tot have his officers look out for and arrest the guilty parties, and also tele- graphed the sheriff of the county in North Carolina adjoining Carroll in- forming him of the reward. I have designated a judge to hold the remainder of the term of the Cir- cuit Court of Carroll, and the Attor- ney General ot the State will be on the ground. Everything possible will be done td secure the arrest and con- viction of the murderers, and the laws of this commonwealth will be falth- fully and fearlessly executed. (Signed) WILLIAM HODGES MANN, Governor. The Governor has also ordered Roanoke and Lynchburg militia com- panies to be prepared to proceed to Hilsville if their services should be required. + Judge Staples, of Roanoke, probably has been designated by Govérnor Mann to hold the remainder of the term of court, and he, together with Attorney General Samuel W. Williams, will go to Hillsville immediately. HOT GUILTY SAY LABOR MEN Motion To Quash the indictments Is Overruled By Judge Anderson— Thirty Days Granted To De- fense To File Exceptions. Indianapolis, Ind.—“Not guilty” was the plea of 46 men arraigned in the Federal Court here on indictments charging complicity in the alleged con: spiracy unlawfully to transport dyna- mite from state to state. Judge A. B. Anderson overruled all demurrers of! the.defense, but granted 30 days for the filing of exceptions to his ruling. A motion to consolidate the cases, | made by United States District At. torney Charles W. Miller, was sus tained, but the court consented to hear | attorneys for the defense it they de- cide to petition for separate trials. The court instructed that the defend ants appear when presentation of the matter is made. The trial was set for October 1. When Judge Anderson announced he would overrule the demurrers to 34 indictments, ‘he turned to the de fendants, for whom seats had been arranged in tiers, and said: “Gentlemen, do you know the nature of the charges against you?” “We do,” came in a heavy chorus. Then one by one the indicted men, present or former union officials from many sections of the country, and headed by Frank M. Ryan, president of the International Association of Bridge and Structurat Ironworkers, arose as' their names were called by the clerk and responded: “Not guilty.” Attacks from many angles were made upon the indictments charging the defendants with aiding and abet ting Ortie E. McManigal and Jobn J. and James B. McNamara in the trans. portation of dynamite on passenger trains; with being principals with Me Manigal and the McNamaras in the 11 legal acts and with having conspired to violate the statutes prohibiting such transportation. ‘That the statute of limitations had run against the offense of conspiracy alleged and that the indictment did not aver violation of law because it was not set out the defendants ha¢ mislabeled packages of ‘ explosives they were alleged to have carried ot passenger trains, were the two princi pal contentions of counsel for the de fense, Elijah, Coline and Patrick O'Donnell; of Chicago; Walter Ball of Muncie, Ind, and W. N. Harding of this city. 5 Anarchist Fires Several Shots at Him in Carriage. OFFICER OF GUARD WOUNDED King On His Way To the Pantheon To Memorial Services For the Late King Humbert, Who Was Assassinated. Rome:—A dastardly attempt to as- sassinate King Victor Emmanuel of Italy was made by an anarchist in Rome. The would-be regicide chose for his attempt the anniversary of the birthday of the late King Humbert, the father of the present King, who died the victim of an assassin’s blow at Menza on July 29, 1900, King Victor Emmanuel was fortunate enough to escape the shots fired at him from a revolver, They were several in num: ber and Were aimed from a very short distance. The commander of his military bodyguard, however, who was in the immediate vicinity of the King, was dangerously wounded. | The King, in company with Queen Helena, was going from the palace to the Pantheon, to take part in the an- nual memorial service in honor of the late King Humbert. The royal car. riage was preceded and followed by an escort of Cuirassiers. At the police station the anarchist was subjected to a keen interrogatory. He said that his name was Antonio Dalba, that he was 21 years of age and that he was a stone mason. He de- scribed himself as an “individualist anarchist” and said that be had made the attempt on the King’s life as a protest against the organization of society. $16,100 FOR PAINTING. Vaughan ‘Portrait Of Washington Brings Record Price. Philadelphia—The Gilbert Stuart head of, Washington, known as the Vaughan portrait, the feature of the sale of the art collection of the late Joseph H. Harrison, Jr., was seld at auction here to Thomas B. Clarke, of New York, after a lively competition, for $16,100. This ts a record price for the painting and brought the sale to a close, enough money being realized to pay the bequests in the will of Mrs. Sarah Harrison, whose executors con- ducted the sale. It was announced that the remainder of the collection, including the portraits of Washing- ton and Franklin by Rembrandt Peale, will be,presented to the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. TURKS REPORT GREAT VICTORY. Say Italians Lost 2.000 In Eleven. Heue: Battie. Constantinople.—Edhem Pasha, the ‘Turkish commander in the district of Benghazi, reports to the Turkish War Ministry an important Turko-Arab success at Tobruk, He says that the Italians were driven out of thelr positions and re- treated to ‘their ships after a battle which lasted 11 hours. Edhem Pasha estimated the Italian casualties at 2,000 killed and wounded. .'‘The Turkish losses were also very heavy, including many Arab women who were carrying supplies of am- munition to the Turkish troops in tke fighting line. GLASS WORKERS GET BIG RAISE. Average Increase Of 35 Per Cent. In Alt Branches. _ Pittsburgh.—Five thousand hand einer glass workmen employed in factories throughout Kansas, Indiana, ‘Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia Wednesday received notice that their wages will be Increased an average of 35 per cent., all branches of the In- ‘dustry being affected. This decision was reached at a con- ference between the wage ‘committee of the National Window Glass Work- ers and a committee representing the manufacturers, held in Cleveland, March 6 and 7. It will remain in ef- fect until May 29, when another ad- justment is expected. MISTRIAL IN BATHTUB CASE. Jury Seven For Acquittal and Five For Conviction. Detroit, Mich—The jury which has been trying the case of the govern- ment against the so-called Bathtub ‘Trust in the Federal court here failed to reach an agreement and was dis- charged by Judge Angell. The jury was reported to have stood seven for acquittal and five for conviction. MESSENGER FOILS BANDITS Bandits Boarded Train At Midnight and Forced Engineer To Bring It To a Stop In a Lonely Stretch Of Prairie.-+ San Antonio, Texas.—Employing the simplest sort of ruse, a Wells- Fargo Express messenger, with nerve aplenty, who knew how to deliver a swift, terrible blow, balked the rob- bery of a Southern Pacific train by killing two of the highwaymen. The holdup was staged near the Mexican border ‘on the eastern edge of the “Big Bend” country of Texas, For miles through the lone stretches of rolling prairie only seattered ranch houses relleve the landecape’s monotony. The point where the train, No. 9, westbound, was halted is several miles east of Sanderson, in Terrel county. David A. Trousdale, ‘an express messenger, recently pro- ‘moted to his run from the San An- tonlo offices of the express company, Prevented the robbery. One of the robbers who held up Trousdale at the point of a rifle In a corner was’ran- sacking the express car. “I'm not going to scrap with you all,” remarked Trousdale as he con- versed with the bandit. “I'm not getting fighting wages.” “Oh, all right," replied the bandit, “then you fellows will have to-help us get this stuff across the Rio Grande.” : “Why don't you pick up that pack- age?” casually inquired Trousdale, as he kicked at a small box on the floor of.the car. “It's worth more than all the stuff you've got.” The robber stooped, deceived by the ruse, to pick up the package. ‘Trousdale grasped a heavy-mallet and struck. The bandit recelved the blow full on the head. He fell over dead. ‘There was no alarming outcry. Trousdale picked up the dead rob- ber’s gun and waited. Meanwhile the second of the ban- dits had been working on the car ahead, When he completed his job he hurried back to the express car. “Frank,” he called. There was no answer. ‘The robber swung himself aboard the-cur. Aw his form loomed in the doorway the~expreis ‘messenger fired. The bandit tumbled to the ground dead. The bodies of the robbers were put into a baggage car and the train proceeded. The bandits boarded the express at Dryden soon after midnight. Swing, ing onto the engine they covered the driver, Erosh, with guns, and ordered him to proceed til} they told him to stop. Ten miles wesfof Dryden they gave the signal for a halt. The con- ductor of the express alarmed by the frequent stops, sent a negro porter ahead to ‘inquire about tho, trouble. ‘The negro was promptly covered with a rifle. Then the conductor crept up to the engine. Immediately he took in the situation. Before the robbers could fire upon bim he hastened back and down the track, Walking sev- eral miles he stopped a freight train and gave the alarm over the wires to Sanderson. Meanwhile the robbers were putting their plans for ransack- ing the express and mail cars into execution. The sheriff of Terrell county is searching for a third member of the band supposed to have been posted near the holdup scene with horses. Near the point where the train was stopped tracks of horses were found leading to the border. It is presumed the robbers, had they succeeded, would have made for Mexico. ‘The bodies of the bandits have not been identified. They are Americans. Colorado Man Would Ask What Wick ‘cnihiaes ‘main. Washington.—The* House passed a resolution calling on Attorney General Wickersham for any information he may have in regard to the existence of a smelter trust. The resolution was introduced by Representative Martin, of Colorado, and mentioned the Amert- can Smelting and Refining Company. ‘The action taken by the House is be- lieved to be preliminary to an investi- gation of that company. SOUGHT TO KILL KNOX. Nicaraguans Had Fifteen Mines Under . Rallroad. New Orleans.—Private cables re- ceived here from Nicaragua say that the liberals in that country recently attempted to blow up the train upon which Secretary of State Knox traveled from Corinto to Managua, No less, than 50 Iberals are said to be ‘in jail ‘as a result of the conspiracy, Fifteen mines, it is said, were placed under the tracks over which the Secre- tary of State's train passed, but for some reason they failed to explode. Drowned In Tub Of Water. Mansfield, O.—Mrs. William Mc- Clintock, 21, fainted while washing, and falling head foremost into the tub of water, was drowned. SPEAKING TO MOLLIE BY CHARLES WISHART He was undersized and underfed, and the faded suit that flapped dis tressingly about his reed-like legs and hung in dejected folds from shoulder blades of razor sharpness only served to accentuate the utter dejection of the man. He leaned against a post in front of the Golden Grace saloon, and to Eben Brennan, as the latter paused to contemplate the strange spectacle, it seemed as though the man would fall were he deprived of his support. “Looking for a man?” asked the stranger hesitatingly when Brennan had concluded his inspection, ad- ding: “I’m looking for a job.” “What range did you ever ride?” “I never worked on a ranch,” confessed the stranger. “It was on the stage.” Brennan grinned widely. “A stage cowboy is worse’n @ mur- derer, but the old man told me te bring back a man to work about the house, and if you can stick to a horse long enough to get there, I guess the job is yours if you want it The foreman turned abruptly and strode away, ahd the stranger ran after him. “My name’s McCartney—Aloysius McCartney,” he panted, “and thank you very much.” Brennan, stared, nodded and con- tinued on ‘his way. He gave: no more thought to the new man until it was time to make a start for home. He had almost, forgotten the inci- dent until he came over to the store and found a little knot of cowmen gathered about a brilliant figure in the stagiest of cowboy get ups. Me- Cartney looked up appealingly as Brennan entered. “It is the only thing I’ve got that will do,” he explained, “and I take it that your ranch ain’t no Garden of Eden where I can do without clothes, I know it ain’t the way you fellows dress, but Pll get some real clothes as soon as I get some money, but I’ll have to make this old stage outfit do until then.” “I’m afraid you'll scare the horse.” said Brennan, judicially, “but we can try it on him.” * To his surprise, the man made a good throw and landed the horse with the Bar B brand, but it took him a longer time to rope and saddle the loaned horse, so they were late in starting. Barbee, the owner, re- garded the new arrival with aston- ishment, “Great heavens! “Bren- nan,” he cried, “what circus did you get that from?” Brennan offered a brief explana- tion, but McCartney had received his ranch baptism. Half a dozen of the men were within earshot and it was as “Circus” McCartney that he was introduced to his fellows. There Was work in plenty, but “Circus” was not afraid of work, and as he gained in flesh, hé lost his air of uncertainty. He had regained bis skill as rider now that he once more had a horse under him, but he did not seek a shift to the range, for Mollie Malloy was at the ranch house and “Circus” was making fa- mous progress with Mollie Malloy. She was the daughter of the cook, a black-eyed little colleen who qucened it over the hearts of the range riders for twenty miles around. Until “Circus” had come, she had diplomatically evinced no prefer- ence; though she was more polite to the foreman than to the men, and Brennan had come to regard their engagement as a matter settled ex- cept for the formal asking of the question. He viewed with no pleasure the progress “Circus” made in Mollie’s yey af Sole eae se ee the usual greeting: “I pick you up off the streets a wreck, and you pay me back by trying to steal the giz!’ Tm going to marry.” - “Diss Mollie tell you so?” inquired “Circus,” politely, though there was # dangerous glint in the Irish eyes. “T don’t have to be told,” grunted Brennan. “I guess‘I can see with my own eyes what you’re up to.” “Put meon thé range,” suggested! “Circus.” Vm not afraid to take chances on you seeing more of her than me. Ketp me out after thd round-up_and "I'll take chances on Mies Mollie sticking-to me. I'll give you a month to speak first. That’s fair, ain’t it?” Brennan nodded. With “Circas’” silent for a month he could argue his suit, and with Mra. Malloy for am ally he counted on winning long be- fore the expiration of the four weeks of grace. It waa near the close of the round- up when “Cireus’” opportunity came. He and Brennan hed ridden after some of the men who had gone t8 drive the cattle from one of the valleys that broke the side of tha hills. Just as they reached the mouth of the gulch a bunch of stampeding cattle burst out of the ravine and headed straight for the two riders. ‘They wheeled their horses, but as they did so Brennan’s mount slipped’ and fell, throwing Brennan heavily against a rock, breaking his leg. “Circus” had already turned, but now he wheeled his horse again, and! leaping from the saddle he caught up the injured man, “We can’t make it,” groaned Bren- nan. “Save yourself, man.” “Lots of time,” declared “Circus” cheerfully, though hé had to shout to be heard above the thunder of the pounding hoofs. Carefully but with haste he lifted Brennan to the saddle and swung himself into the seat just as the first of the cattle were upon them, Carefully watching his chances, “Circus” held in his mount whew there was a chance to drop » back through the bunch of frightened steers and after what seemed an age. he was riding among the ruck of: the herd. From every direction the mem came riding up and presently they were headed for the camp where the foreman was made comfortable in. one of the wagons and the injured: leg was set by Barbee, who had stud- ied surgery. As the wagon was about to draw out to take him to the ranch house Brennan called for “Circus.” “T’'ll tell Mollie that you’re com- ing to ask her something when the round-up is over,” he whispered as he clasped “Circus’” hand. “You've got the right to speak, lad. She'll be proud of you when she finds ont what you’ve done—and it won’t lose none in the telling. He waved his hand in farewell and “Circus” climbed down from the wagon with a radiant face. Ae he turned toward his horse, Barbee rode up. “Who trained your horse, for you?” he demanded as “Circus” looked up. “I trained him myself,” was the reply. “I used to do a bit of that work when I was helper to a mam who trained horses for the circus.” ~ “Come up to the house after the: round-up,” he ordered. “I want to- start breeding polo ponies and you can have the job as foreman if you: want it.” 7 “I want it,” assented “Circus” promptly, “and I thank you kindly,, sir.” Barbee nodded and rode away, andt “Circus” regarded the knot of blue ribbon twined in his hat band. “It’s a foreman I’ll be when Pm emnaking ta van BMallie Aarling * ha NEARER THE TRUTH. “What on earth’s the matter?

His chances began with his birth, for bis parentage was of the very best, and his education was obtained at the feet of Gamaliel, a noted and compe- tent rabbi and schoolmaster; in addt- tion to this he possessed many natural endowments which show bim to have ‘been a man of superior intelligence. He moved in the most fashionable so- clety, and at a coinparative early age ‘hhis influence was strongly felt among the people, with the result that he oon became prominent in the Sanhe- ‘drim, a political branch of Jewish gov- ‘ernment not unlike the House of Com- mons of England. His past was filled with ancestral nobility and cultivated intelligence, his present was laden with opportunity and responsibility, while bis future was radiant with ap- proaching success. Nevertheless, all this was overruled, and {n a crucial moment of his life he chooses the cross and the despised Nazarene, and at once begins to champion what many of his fellows regarded as a “lost cause“ and the teachings of a re- liglous fanatic. It was as {f he were holding a beautiful bouquet, each bud representing some branch of worldly success, and while he is meditating upon its beauty and worth the flowers gradually change into a design of a cross which fastens itself to bis hand, as if nailed there In imitation of his being crucified with Christ. Among his contemporaries there ‘wera those who were making capital decause of their ancestry and were us- ing thelr lineage as a foundation for their religion. Others among hia political asso- slates gloried in their fame and pos!- tion, and the relationship they held to the Roman emperor and the public. Some of them had been elevated to seats in the Sanhedrim, and foolishly thought they were better than the average person with whom they came into contact. Such positions were not infrequently held by corrupt practices, graft and fraud, or by those who were absolutely unworthy of the place. There were others who made “wealth” their religion. Their fat purses gave to them an independence of feeling as well as an opportunity to satisfy their carnal appetites with worldly pleasure, but they were so de- celved that upon close examination of themselves they found that instead of trusting in God they -were really trusting in thelr wealth. They could sin at pleasure and then soothe their conscience by feeling their purses or looking at thelr bonds and real es- tate. ‘Why was it that the Apostle Patil did not pursue the same course? He might have done so with more suc- cess than his contemporarieg, for his ancestry was of the very best. He says of himself that he was a “He- brew of Hebrews.” He meant by this that both his mother and father were Jews. Some others had a Hebrew mother and a Greek father of the “stock of Israel” That is to say, he came down the Iine of Jacob. Many of the Jews came down the line of Esau, of the “tribe of Benjamin.” Benjamin was the son of Rachel, the wife whom Jacob loved, and the tribe was noted for its general refinement. “A Pharisee.” The Pharisees com- posed the aristocracy of the Jews. “As doucking the law, blameless,” his meaning was that his life was clean and that he had obeyed to the letter the law of Moses. But he concludes by saying that “while I, with better reasons than others can -give, could glory in my ancestry, I will not—tor those things that were a gain to me, these I count a loss for Christ.” Doubtless his personal fame was ex- tensive, and it Is only fair to suppose that he held an intimate relationship with the political leaders of’ his day, yet he saw in this no good reason for boasting. Likewise with his worldly possessions, which while not great were far from poverty, but go utterly useless did they seem that he readily gave them up and suffered himself to be disinherited by his parents because he espoused the cause of Christ. Ho had tried all of these things— with Christ. He made his decision in favor of the cross because the cross held his Saviour. Christ was dear to Paul, and as the years of his life went by he became his “ail and In all" He bad been his help in many hours of weakness, and he had comforted him {n many sorrows, and he had been made strong by the spirit of the Lord. His old sina had been nailed to the cross; and some of them had nearly wrecked his life, but they had been put to death on the cross and he knew that these sins, together with the pun- ishment due to sin, had been removed and bis pardon had been eealed. The cross gave him a broader vision of what {t meant to live and from Its radiance he saw new luster added to his day, and there was born in him a new hope for the world to come. What his friends then could not see we can now see—that the choice he made was the acme of wisdom. Front a feeble politician he became the greatest of all the apostles. By forsak- ing his Ineage and ancestry he be- came ~ joint heir with Christ and was adopted into the family of God. By forsaking wealth he laid up riches in Heaven. But, above all these, he left the world richer and better by such a choice. If he had continued Iving under his worldly environment, he might have obtalned a ‘little more of political favor or accumulated a few more dollars, and could have harped a little more on lils birth, but in doing so he would have left the world un- touched by his great life. The choos- ing of the cross gave to the world nearly two-thirds of the New Testa- ment, and has’ poured into the lives of millions of people the consolation and salvation of a crucified Christ. The choice then may have looked unwise, for he was Saul of Tarsus, but it proved to be the height of wisdom when he became Paul the Apostle. It is safe to say’ that no man will ever make a mistake if he chooses to fol- low Christ in preference to living upon the vanity of ancestral religion, or tho everchanging opinion of the public, or the decejtfulness of riches; for when such a choice is made by any person the change in that life will be as great as the change was from Saul of Tarsus to Paul the Apostle of Christ. WALTER RHODES. HELP THE RURAL CARRIER. One of the best friends the farmer can have fs the rural mall carrier. Not that the carrier is allowed to show any special favors to any patrons by virtue of bis office, but be- cause the carrier represents a work which Uncle Sam fs doing for the farmers without getting a suMiclent return in money to pay for it. Rural delivery {8 being conducted at a loss. It must also be borne In mind that the rural carrier sometimes braves great hardships and even danger in order to serve 4ll the patrons on his route, not because the regulations compel him to, but because of the at- tachment he forms for the people whose, mail he delivers. The rural carrier ts not overpald, either, although hits salary looks good on paper, considering the class of work that he does—vhich does not require more intolligence than driving a grocery delivery wagon. However, the carrier must pay for the keep of his horse and repairs on his rig, so that very few are able to draw inter- est from the banks. ‘An effective way for the farmer to show his appreciation’ of the rural carrier's faithful service {s by keep- ing an up-to-date mail box and locat- tng it in such a way that ft will be easy for the carrier to serve {t with- out dismounting. The postal regula- tions provide that boxes must be three and onehalf feet from the ground, and must be grouped where possible with the boxes overhanging the road, but there are few carriers who wish to have bard feeling with thelr patrons by reporting the matter to thelr superiors. Therefcre, they let the matter go and serve unhandy boxes in unhandy ways year after year. : “Ask your carrier 1f your box Is lo- cated {n, accordance with the regula- tlons, and if you could make it more convenient for him by altering its po- sition, Carry out his suggestions, and you will have made him the best pos- sible gift. HINTS FROM JAPAN. When arranging flowersein a low bowl or dish for the center of the ta- ble a splendid idea is one borrowed from the Japanese. A round ‘basket without a handle, made of cane or bamboo, fs inverted in the bowl, and the stems of the flowers aro put through the round holes in the basket. This mades @ graceful arrangement for a mass of flowers like chrysanthe- mums, asters, roses, tulips, etc., and ‘holds the flowers in place.

There {s a return to favor of the dressy waist of lace or net and Its variations. Cream and ecru shades prevail, and about an equal proportion of light and heavy laces are seen jn the combination. Lace will be used for the dest evening dresses. Several tones will be used together as well as several kinds of lace. Blond lace in half heavy meshes will be worn. A most lovely evening princess gown recently seen was made with the top of cream maline lace. The tunic was over a fiesh-pink Chantilly lace, which Jn turn was put over a black ‘chiffon skirt. Everything was in points. ‘Thé tunic was cut in points ‘finished with tassels, and the train fell In two points at the side and had black tassels. Imitation laces are now made with such perfection of skill as almost to equal the handsome sorts. It is 9 good plan to study laces before: buy- ing and then select the design and make best adapted to your needs. We have grown quite used to see- ing all-over embroidery worked over in part of the pattern In colored em- bfoigery, but lace treated in the same way 1s somewhat new. Sucb laces as imitatfon cluny and Irish gain immeas- urably In effectiveness and apparent value when a part of the motifs is worked over In loose silk stitches io some decided but rather dark color to harmonize with the costume. Sep- araté low lace collars lose all possi- bility of cheapness when adorned in this way. Simply three or four rows of motifs, perhaps each in one of the colors of peasant embroldery—dark red, green, blue and brown—on cof- fee or cream colored lace, make an im- provement which {s really wonderful. A few long and short stitches on Wheels or diamonds or some other motff are all that are needed. A very dainty fashion of treating lace of an openwork pattern is to in- sert under round motifs raised flow- erlike designs of velvet. On a gown of gray crepe adorned with lace the bodice had applications of rose velvet under the lace rose designs. With a touch of the same velvet at neck and wrists the effect was charming. Irish crochet and filet lace waists, or crochet combined with band em- broldery, have been worn recently with the dressy velvet sults. These waists are quite a departure from the all- over Irish crochet models previously seen, as the filet and French embroid- ery on batiste are used in about the same proportion as the crochet in working out the garment. These com- binations are most effective, as the de signs are worked out in a way to show off the different patterns to the best advantage. Other novelty Inco wafsts for wear with the two-piece sult bave a cutaway coat effect beginning at thé sidefront. Dresden ribbon in suit col- oring finishes off the revers, belt and cuffs. Nets of various types, from plain to fancy Brussels, are favorites, not only, for high stock yokes and long sleeves, but for waists, draperies and whole gowns. Some of the fancy black nets have a color woven In the embroidery or design in a new way— for instante, blue with black. These embroideries give the appearance of inerustation rather than the smooth, flat, satiny or hand-run effects to which we ‘have become accustomed. Made up over color or over black or white these nets will no doubt estab- Ush an enviable vogue for themselves. milk production arg as good as pure- bred animals, CHARM AND HOW TO CULTIVATE IT. “Charm is much more important than beauty,” says fascinating Fritz! Scheff. “In' a shop the other day, while waiting for my change,” said Miss Scheff, “I noticed two very at- tractive girls standing next to me. One was a strikingly beautiful girl and very fashionably dressed—the other was not so beautiful although she appeared prettier. . “I often wonder why people always take such a fancy to you,’ the most striking girl was saying, ‘you know you're not exactly what one might call pretty, and you don't always follow the latest style, Well, I suppose It Is due to what they call your charming manner,’ she said lightly, as the oth- er girl looked up and smiled. “The saleslady came with the change. The beautiful'girl started off immediately but the other paused an instant and smiled and murmured a thank you. “What a handsome girl,’ I sald to the saleslady as they walked away, meaning the most striking girl. ““Did you think she was pretty?" she asked, ‘It seemed to me the other ‘was much prettier.” “The remark set me thinking and it made me reflect the potent magic of charm, The first girl was by all stand- ards the most beautiful. Yet because the second had the indescribable attri. bute, the elusive charm, she caught all hearts and held them. Beauty at- tracts the eye, but charm takes the heart. “and it struck me again bow tmpor- tant it Is for every woman to have charm. Not all can be beautiful, but all, in a certain measure, can acquire charm FASHIONS AND FADS, In spite of their long popularity, one-piece serge dresses are promised an even greater vogue for spring. Long coats will remain as tmport- ant for spring and summer as they have,been for the winter. Leather belts, more on the girdle type, are several inches wide at the back and curve slightly to the front. ‘The new colors for novelty cottons are white, cream color, old-lace color, champagne, ficelle and khaki. At the present time there is a great tendency for white collars, cuffs and revers on many of the outer garments. ‘Wide collarettes of chiffon or tulle are scalloped around the edge. They are used to trim the newest, smart- est blouses. One of the novelties of the spring coat 1s the back longer than tho front, a harmonious feature with the cutaway front. i Lovely satins and cashmere and paisley designs are uced for separate wraps. These are trimmed with bands of plain satin. ¢ Light-weight serge fs still very pop- ular, and cheviot in fancy weaves and stripe 1s one of the new fabrics for tallorymades. Coming in for spring are the fascl- nating Ittle blazer jackets of striped flannel or serge with notched collars and natty pockets. Foulard, woven with satin figures and with lovely borders, In white and colors, {s one of the leading new fa- bries for afternoon gowns. While skirts remain narrow, there fs no lack of variety in the noyelty and arrangement of the gores,' the new designs being extremely graceful and having unusual style. OSTRICH FEATHER NOVELTIES. ‘There was a time when’ the term “ostrich feathers” meant only one thing—ostrich feathers—but that was a long while ago. This season the term embraces evétything from tint- est tip to the most wonderful ‘branch- ed fancy willows of miraculous length, quill, fan and pompon effects, and orn- amental motifs, such as butterfiles, bowknots or flowers. In whatever form it appears, os- trieh plumage fs a favorite hat trim- ming, Wreaths, bands and full clus- ters formed by short, curled tips are a distinctive feature in hats at the present moment. Some of the band- somest designs in hats show big sprawling trimming bows of velvet or maline, the edges of which are out- Mned with a fringe formed by ostrich tips. Underbrim facings and crown coverings effected by a solid mass of short tips are also In vogue. French plumes jn pure white are tinged with a delicate color at the end of the flue near the midrib. Clipped ostrich in white, black and colors {3 used for imitating fur. It is also very effective when used in the shape of fringe. Charming are the new long quills made of clipped white ostrich and framed by a band of skunk, sealskin, moleskin, or sable, or those of black or deep brown ostrich, edged with er- mine, chinchilla or red fox. Cold, raw starch will take out blood stains. Rainwater and soap will remove ma- chine oil from washable fabrics. A clothes tree on which to hang un- finished garments is a great conventl- ence in a sewing room, A sprig of fresh mint in the cup of afternoon tea, hot or cold, is liked by many persons. A spoonful of frult sherbet in iced tea is delictous. To clean suede gloves, put the gloves on “trees” or on your hands and rub ‘them with fine oatmeal, which should ‘nally be brushed of with a nail brush. Stains on enameled saucepans may be removed by dissolving a half ‘teaspoonful of chlorlde of lime in the saucepan of water, and then boil till the stain disappears. Then boil again with pure water. : Gilt frames may be cleaned by sponging them with the ofl of turpen- tine or spirits of turpentine, only wet- ting the sponge enough to remove the dirt. Leave the frames to dry, but do not wipe them, RISEN ROLLS. Sift a quart of flour with a tea- spoonful of salt and rub Into it a tablespoonful of butter. When this is blended add a generous cupful of lukewarm milk, in which a third of yeast cake has been dissolved, If too stiff add a litte more warm milk. Stir in @ teaspoonful of granulated sugar and Imead for twenty minutes. Cover and set aside to rise overnight. In the morning make into rolis and set these to rise for one-half hour, ‘then bake. SWEDISH BREAD. Roll one pint of light dough a half inch thick. Spread with butter, sugar, a dash of nutmeg and one cup of well. cleaned currants. Roll up, spreading butter over top.

IMPORTANT PERSONS VISIT TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE ' Tuskegee Institute, Alabama.—About 50 guests from the north attended the great central meeting of the trustees of the Tuskegee Institute. One party headed by Mr. Jullus Rosenwald came from Chicago, stopping on their way at Nashville, Tenu., to visit sev- eral of the colored schools of that city. The party arrived at Tuskegeo by spe- cfal train ‘from Montgomery. In addition to Mr. and Mrs. Rosen- wald and thelr son, Lester, the party consisted of the following persons: Mr. Walter G. Franz, consulting en- gineer, and Mrs, Franz, Cincinnatl, 0.; Mr. H. F. Fisk of Northwestern uni- versity, Evanston, Ill, and Mrs. Fisk; Mr, H. H. Koblsaat, editor of the Chi- cago Record-Herald; Dr, A. W, Harris, president of Northwestern university; Judge Julian W. Mack of the United States court of commerce, and Mrs. Mack; Mr. Edward B. Butler, presi- dent Butler Bros., and Mrs. Butler; Mr, Charles R. Crane, president of the Crane Co. and Mrs. Crane; Mr. Jo- seph L. Bache, director of the Jew- ish training school; Mr. Sherman C. Kingsley, director of the United Char- ities und the Ellzabeth McCormick Memorlal Fund; Mr. L. A. Philips, su- Derintendent of the Glenwood Manual Training school, near Chicago; Mr. and Mrs. Max Adler, brother-in-law and sister of Mr, Julius Rosenwald, and Mr. A. Mitchell Innes of the Brit- ish embassy at Washington, The other ‘party headed by Hon. Seth Low, former mayor of New York, arrived from New York in the even- ing. Among those in the party were, in addition to Mr, Seth Low, chairman of the board of trustees, four other members of the trustee board: Messrs, Robert C, Ogden, Willlam C. Wilcox, with Mrs. Wilcox and Frank Trumbull of New York city; Charles E, Mason of Boston and Mrs, Mason. Among the other members of the ‘party from the east were: Dr. and Mrs. S. G. M. Maule of Philadelphia, Pa.; the Rev. Clarence Vincent, pas- tor Immanuel-Walnut Avenue Con- gregational church, Boston, Mass.; Mra. Henry C. Davis, Philadelphia; Miss Katherine B. Davis, superintend- ent New York State Reformatory for Women, Bedford Hills, N. ¥.; Mrs. Martha P. Falconer, ‘superintendent, the House of Refuge, Girls’ depart- ment, Sleightén Farm, Darlington, Pa.; Mr. Lawrence F. Abbott, president The Outlook Company, New York? Mr. Thellwell R. Coggeshall, industrial teacher, Girard college, Philadelphia, Pa.; Mrs. Robert E. Park, vice-presi- dent National Congress of Mothers and Parent-Teacher association, Woll- aston, Mass.; Miss Hilda Justice gt Philadelphia; Miss Emily S. Richards; Mr. Harold Peabody, Boston Mass.; Mr. J. W. Frothingham of Brooklyn; Mrs, Alexander Purves, daughter of Mr. Robert C. Ogden; Dr. A. G. Fraser. “ ‘With the exception of four absentees all members of the board were pres- ent at this meeting. Col, Theodore Roosevelt, who had visited Tuskegee Institute when he was president, but has not seen it since he became a trustee, had expected to visit the school this year, but was unable to do 50, Tuskegee bas eight trustees from the southern states—four of them white and four colored. The white trustees are Mr. Belton Gilreath, an extensive owner of coal mines in Bir- mingham, Ala.; Bir. R. Q. Simpson, a large planter of Furman, Ala.; Mr. W. ‘W. Campbell, vice-chairman, a bank- er of Tuskegee, Ala,, and Mr, Charles W. Hare, a vier aud newspaper man also of the town of Tuskegee, The colored trustees are Mr. A. J. Wil born, a graduate of Tuskegee Institute, now doing business in Tuskegee; and Victor H. Tulane, who is cashier of the brazch of the Alabama Penny Savings bank at Montgomery, Washington, and Treasurer Logan. All of these were present. | At the meeting in the chapel, at | which the trustees and other guests were present, it was announced that Mr. Jullus Rosenwald of Chicago had accepted the position of trustee in the place of Mr. George Foster Peabody of New York city, who, at his own = quest, was relieved, because of not be-| ing able to sive the time necessary to the school, It was.also announced that Mr, Em- mett J. Scott, who, as secretary to Principal Washington, has for a num- ber of years borne a large share of the burden of the work of the school, | bas beem elected secretary of the In- stitute. Mr. Scott will however con- tinue to ¢e¢rve Princinal Wachine+nn GUSSs, Was rebieved, because af not de- ing able to give the time necessary to the school, It was.also announced that Mr, Em- mett J. Scott, who, as secretary to Principal Washington, has for a num- ber of years borne a large share of the burden of the work of the school, bas been elected secretary of the in- stitute. Mr. Scott will however con- tnue to serve Principal Washington in the same capacity. ‘One of the most interesting features of the school work which the northern guests had an opportunity of observing was a novel kind of rhetorical exer. cise held in the chapel, Instead of the traditional essays and recitations which the announcement of rhetorical exercises had led the guests to expect, they found the stage of the chapel fit tel up with steam and electrical ma. chinery and various kinds of apparatus used by the students in the shop, in dairy and in cooking departments. A portion of the stage had been fitted up ag a gining room and kitchen with a kerosene oll range, and in this set- ting a young woman was demonsirat. ing to the students and guests of the school how to set a table and how to cook and serve a meal. The whole operation bad been cleverly drame- tized and was carried out amidst the applause of the audience. The per- formance was especially admired by the men of-the party. ‘Another feature of the rhetorical ex- ercises was a demonstration of the method in which a letter written by a student {s collected by the postofiice department, stamped, put In the mail bags, carrfed to its destination and delivered. This demonstration was given by ono of the students who fc employed by the Government Institute postoffice. What made this demon- stration all the more interesting was that after the student had described 4m a very interesting manner and in the greatest detafl bow the letter had been written, collected, canceled, dis- tributed, put'in the mail packet, car ried to the train and thence to its destination at Clark university, At- lanta, Ga., the writer took the liberty of opening the letter and reading ite contents, The letter was represonted as announcing to the students at Clark the result of @ football battle which took place at Tuskegee last October, and in which the score was 48 to 0 in favor of Tuskegee. The reading of the letter was greeted with wild ap- plause by“the Tuskegee students. The two parties of guests—one from Chicago apd the other from New York —united and went by special train to Atlanta, where they were the'guests at dinner of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce. At that polnt the two par- tles separated again, ope going north to Chicago and the other north and east to New York city. The present meeting of the board was voted one of the most successful ones in the history of the institute, and it fs felt by all that much good will come from these annual visits of the trustees and oth- er friends of the institute to the schoo. EDUCATIONAL STATUS ‘ OF TEXAS CITIES + Ina recent report of the state board of education interesting comparisons are given regarding the scholastic Status of the largest four cities of the state, as follows: San Antonio: Federal census popu- lation, 96,614; scholastic census, 16,- 999, or 17.6 per cent. of the entire population; length of school session, 167 days; enrollment, 13,047, which is 76.9 per cent. of the scholastic popu- lation; average attendance, 9,297, or 54.6 per cent. of the scholastic popu- Jation, and 712 per cent. of the en- rollment; number of teachers, 279. Dallas: Federal census population, 92,104; scholastic census, 15,673; or 16.9 per cent. of the population; length of school session, -174 days; enrollment, 12,707, which {s 814 per cent. of the scholastic population; average attendance, 9,364, or 59.7 per cent. of the scholastic population, and 73.6 per cent. of the enrollment; num- ber of teachers, 329, Houston: Federal census popula- tion, 78,800; scholastic census, 17,116,- or 21.7 per cent. of the entire popula- tion; length of session, 172 days; en- rollment, 11,148, which’ {s 64.5. per cent. of the scholastic population; average attendance, 8,646, or 50.6 per cent. of the scholastre population, ant 77.8 per cent. of the enrollment; num- ber of teachers, 292. Fort Worth: Federal census popu- lation, 73,312; scholastic population, 11,020, or 14.9 per cent.; length of school session, 182 days; enrollment, 10,616, which fs 95.4 per cent. of the scholastic population; average at- tendance, 7,764, or 70.4 per cent. of the scholastic population, and 73.% per cent. of the enrollment; number of teachers, 235. POTASH IN THE UNITED STATES. The United States geological sur- vey is fsuing another preliminary re- port on its potash investigations un- der the special appropriation in ald of the search for an-American supply of potash, The statistics contained, tr this report show a phenomenal in- crease In American purchases of Ger- man potash in 1911. The imports for ‘the fiscal year ended June 30, 1911, were valued at $14,000,000. It seems kety that the Imports for the calen- ‘dar year 1911 will reach $15,000,000, an increase over the preceding year o almost $3,000,000. During the past year a geologist of the survey, W. C. Phalen, visited prac- Uically all the salt plants in the east- ern part of the United States where there seemed any lixellhood of finding ‘beds of potash salt. Samples of the ‘brines and waste bitterns are being analyzed and some shgw considerable percentages of potash salts. A natural highly concentrated, bittern from northern Ob{o seems to hold out sufil- cient promise to warrant further at- tention. This bittern fs a bugbear to the salt Industry of the state, for if al- lowed to get into the brine from which the ealt is made it renders the brine bitter and spoils the salt. As a container of potash salts, however, It may prove to be the richest known in the eastern states. An Important deposit of alunite, which has but recently been discov- ered near Marysville, Utah, Is now be- Ing developed. While the deposit fur- nishes material well adapted for uti- lzation, the quantity thus far revealed is insufficient to supply the whole United States with potash. However, {t 1s favorably located to compete with foreign potash in supplying the needs of the western orchards. The size of the vein and its apparent purity are probably its most unusual features.

We bave professors of | every: thing and rothing, learned and un- learned, so that the learned degrees among us have become a reproach and rebuke, even to those who have secured them from reputable {nstitu- tions by their good works, in scholar- ship or their specialization. In a Sunday talk to the students of Tuskegee Institute, recently, as report- ed for the Tuskegee Student, “Qn Be- ing Simple,” Dr Booker T. Washing- ton sald, among other things: “Students who go out from this Inst!- -tution may also exert their Influence in helping our people to get rid of the habit of having so many titles, s0 many meaning!ess and worthless de- grees, You can scarcely meet in the street, or anywhere else, a minister unless he Is called a Doctor of Divin- tty. Some of them can scarcely read or write, some of them cannot read or write a simple English sentence, yet they parade themselves about as Doc- tors of Divinity. Worse than that, some call themselves Doctors of Law. ‘We want everywhere to exert our in- fluence to get rid of all that sham. “The fact 1s we have run wild, In many cases, in this degree business, and many people who have been too lezy to get a genuine education. have sought to cover up thelr jgnorance and their vulgarity by parading after their names a lot of letters—A. RB. A. My D.D., Ll. D, ete. Why I have actual- ly received letters from persons with all those titles signed, after their names. Whenever a person gets a let- ter with all those titles after the signa- ture, he makes up his mind—if he does not express it—bhe makes up his mind that this is a letter, not from an educated person, but from an ignor- ant person, a vulgar person lacking In euture, a person lacking in real, genu- ine taste.” ‘This Is all very true; but {t-fs {m- possible, at this stage of the race's development, to make men see that a learned degree, or 'title of honor, which does not belong to them, and which they cannot sustain. when call- ed upon to do so, by scholarship or good works In special fields of achievements, makes them look and act cheaply in the eyes of those whose good opinion they value, and really seek by parading such degrees to obtain. The world is very critical. It demands a reason for everything and will not be satisfied with evasion. If people are not what they claim to be, If they are shams, masquerading as allases in borrowed: plumage, of degrees in scholarship or distinction 4m good works, the fraud will be dis- covered; they themselves will give themselves away.

Washington's latest book, “My Larger Education.” ‘The review was written by Prof. Charles A. Brown of the Birmingham high school, and of this book Profes- gor Brown says: “My Larger Education” of Booker ‘T, Washington's is a continuation of bis autoblographical narrative. “Up From Slavery,” which was published some years ago, and, as he says, {3 written “to complete the story of my education which I began In that book; to answer the questions as to how I worked out for myself the educational mothods which we are using at Tus- kegee; and, finally, to Mlustrate, for the benefit of the members of my“own race, some of the ways in which a people who are struggling upward may turn disadvantages into opportunities; how they may gain within themselves something that will compensate them for what they have been deprived of from Without.” ‘The record shows that his education has been very realistic and has pro- gtessed with bls work as it has brought him in contact with “men and things.” The lessons have boon learned from “human {nstitutlons, pol- itles, newspapers, and from education- al and soclal probléms of various kinds.” A large part of the book is devoted to what he has learned from “exceptional white men,” and he grate- fully records his Indebtedness to Wil- Ham H. Baldwin, Jr, of Washington; Dr. J. L, M. Curry of Alabama, Mr. Jobn M. Parker of New Orleans, Col. Henry Watterson of Kentucky, ex- President Roosevelt and others; to a number of exceptional negroes; to “high and low,” he met in his travels in Europe; to educational authorities of Denmark, and to educational cam- patgns in the south. ‘The book is an interesting narrative of the experiences of a man who real- fzed that his first and fundamental problem was “how to deal with public opinion on the race question.” Some of the members of his own race want- ed to know “why he proposed to teach their children to work?" These want- ed him to provide a Kind of education that would enable thelr children .to live without working. Some of the white people of the south were op- posed to any kind of education for the negro, while’ some uf the white people of the north feared that the kind of education he proposed would produce merely “hewers of wood and drawers of water,” and would not “prepare the negro to take his place in the commu- nity as a man and citizen.” We were agreeable surprised at Marlin, Tex, to see about 15 negroes working on brick buildings.

R. WRIGHT AND HIS ASSOCIATES HOLD suUCCESS- FUL CONFERENCE WITH SEN- ATE COMMITTEE ON INDUS- TRIAL EXPOSITIONS—CONVINC- ING FACTS BY DRS. WRIGHT, DU BOIS AND ROSS. ‘Washington.—A committee of prom!- nent colored citizens appeared before the senate committee on industrial ex- positions in Washington recently in behalf of the bill Introduced by Sen- ator Bradley of Kentucky providing for an appropriation of $260,000 for an exhibition of the progress of the race since emancipation. Senator Root of New York presided, and Sen- ators Crane of Massachusetts, Taylor of Tennessee, Newlands of Nevada, Paynter of Kentucky, Stephenson of Wisconsin, Jones of Washington, Works of California, Gronna of North Dakota and Swanson of Virginia were present. The speakers representing the ne- sro emancipation association were Major. R. R. Wright of Savanah, Ga.; Dr. R. R. Wright Jr. editor of the Christian Recorder, Philadelphia; Pro- fessor W. E. B. Du Bots of New York and Rev. I. N. Ross of Washington, each having assigned to hifa a particu- lar phase of the discussion. After Senator Root opened the meeting Senator Bradley tntroduced Major R. R. Wright, who told the ob- Ject of the exposition, tbe success he bad had for the past six years in ex- hibiting the progress of the pegroes In Georgia and reasons why national ald should be given this exposition. He stated that since 1876 the gov- ernment bad appropriated over $25,- 000,000 for expositions. He now asked for only 1 per cent of that amount, 1250,000, which 1s only % cent fof each negro inhabitant in the country. Major Wright then introduced his son, Dr. R. R. Wright Jr. who would show the committee what progress ‘the negroes bad made which would warrant an exhibition. This was done by a comparison between the condi- tion of the race In 1860 and In 1910. Dr. Wright! sald the population had more than doubled, being 4,500,000 In 1860 and 10,000,000 now; the Iliiter- acy had been cut in half, being 96 per cent In 1860 and 44.5 per cent in 1900, possibly under 40 per cent to- day. Public school attendance had risen from practically nothing to 3,000,000. In labor negroes have risen from farm laborers to the control of 917.000 farms and the ownership of 250,000 farms. ‘They have beld their own as farm laborers, besides developing oth- er trades. New occupations, unknown 50 years ago, have emerged. There are 60,000 negroes in professions to- day. Negro physicians, lawyers, etc. unknown in the south to the genera- tlon before the war, are now in every clty. Negro teachers number 250,000. Negro property holders have emerged. No accurate count has ever been made, Fully 500,00 homes and farms are owned. Wealth of the negro fs estl- mated at $1,000,000,000. Negro liter- ature, art and music tell a story of progress. There are over 200 news- papers, 500 negro authors. Some of the most popular music of the day fs written by negroes, and negro musi- cians have appeared on every princi- pal American stage, and negro artists exhibited in our leading art galleries Dr. Wright told of the growth of negro banks, insurance companies, real estate operation, etc.; also of ne- gro organizations, their towns, churches, secret orders, saying that, whereas the race 50 years ago was not organized, today organization Is the rule rather than the exception. One above 21 years of nge is organ‘ed. These items represent some of the facts of our progress, a story which cannot but Interest and encourage all who have at heart the progress of our country. . The committee showed special Inter- est in the recital of the progress, Next Senator Crane introduced Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois of New York, who told the plan of the exposition. It Is to be held between Jan, 1, 1913, and Dec. 31. There are to be, first, collected maps, pictures, models, etc., represent- ing Africa and African industry. Thera would also be exhibitions of, second, the negro physique; third. negro population; fourth, negro occu- pations; fifth, negro education; sixth, cia GE eRaiGtias iE waacn tx ates in the whites. They would then see a side of the negro which fs jnot usually seen and would be brought to respect him more, thus bringing about a more friendly feeling among the races, “Fourth—It would also show the world that America has interest in all her people." Senator Bradley then made a few remarks and Major Wright thanked the committee, which went im- mediately Into executive session and after a short deliberation decided to report the bill favorably, which has since been done and also placed on the regular senate calendar, Galveston, Tex—Judgo M. T. Von Rhaden, whose official tltle 1s police magistrate at the town of Cretghton, in northern Nebraska, who has been spending a short time in Galveston, tells some intoresting stories about his section of the country and the Iit- tle town which {s on the border of the big Indian reservation for the three or four tribes of Sloux. Judge Von Rhaden speaks several languages Including Sloux, and, having lived for many years in the Indian country, is familiar with the manner and traits of the wily red man, who fa living 1p ease with plenty at the expense of Uncle Sam, “There ts a thrifty family of half ‘breeds up there,” said the judge. “These people ara the children of olt man Godfrey, a Loulslana slave ne- gro, who died @ litre over a year ago at the age of elghty-two years, “About the time of breaking out of the war between the states he ran anay from bis master In Loufstana and went to Minnesota and took up his home with the Stoux. He spoke French and English and soon picked up the Indian language, and, being a desperate negro, became a leader with the bucks, who, in taose days, were a bloodthirsty set of redskins, “it was in 1863 that the New Uim massacre took place and the band of cut-throat Indians on this memorable occasion were led by Godfrey when they raided this peaceful settlement in Minnesota, killlug men, women and children. Quitting the reservation and Ignoring the commands of the soldiers, who tried to prevent their going on the warpath, the red devils swooped down upon the little town about ‘the noon hour. Not sattstied with killing and scalping the heipless women and the men Who so herotcal- ly, but {neffectually, defended thelr famniles, the savages threw the babies they found in the red-hot ovens in the homes. With the féw troops left to guard the Indtans, because of the war between the states, the government had a hard time getting this band of several hundred back on the reserva- tion, * “In due course the government be- gan the trial of halt hundred or so of the supposed leaders in the massa- ere who had been imprisoned upon return to the reservation. Among them, of course, was Godfrey, the ne- gro, who had an advantage over many of bis red brother because he spoke English. And he was a shrewd ne- gro, though a most desperate charac- ter, as you can imagine a black man who’ became a leader of a tribe of savage Sioux. About ten or twelve of the Indians were sentenced to be shot for participation in the massacre; others were given life sentences in prison and others from ten to thirty years in prison. When tt ceme time for the execution and the Indians were called from their prison, the tricky Godfrey, upon the calling of his name pushed another Indian out fn line, tell- ing the redskin in his own language that the officers were calling his name, and this redskin pad the extreme pen- alty, while his black brother mixed with the short-term prisoners, and in course of time was liberated. “I understand that some years later the government discovered the plot, But for some reason or other Godfrey was riot molested again. I presume the government figured that it didn't make much difference whether it was a redskin or a blackskin and that all of them were equally as gullty. “But Godfrey was known to the white settlers, and while he lved to a ripe old age he feared the white man, and had reason to. Ho left the reservation but twice or three times during his tlfe, and on each occasion had a narrow escape from being mur-' dered. One time he crossed the river in bis boat and was shot at, but he managed to reach his canoe and es- cape with whole skin, although the boat was riddled with shot, some of which penetrated his clothes. He soon learned that he was a marked man and began to live in dread of the pale. face—St. Louls Globe-Democrat. WOES OF WHISKER WEARERS. Former Senator Tom Carter, in the debate before the National Pross club of Washington as to whether a beard or a bald hicad was the greater dis advantage to a man, claimed that a beard was a wonderful help. Carter. by the way, has a beard which would make an alfalfa fleld look like an arid and dusty desert. Soon after the debate he received from one of bis Montana friends this communication: “Dear Tom: Your speech‘on whis- kers seemed to settle all the disputed points except one. What we can't de- clde out here, and what we want you to tell us, Is: When a man goes to bed, ought he to put his beard under the covers or leave it outslde?"—Rop ular Magazine. The Farm Farm labor has become too scarce and high-priced for one man to work {n the fields or on the road with a stu- gle team, except in rare cases, whero Hght work must be done. ‘Any man can learn to drive four horses just as well as two, and where the double team can be used, practical- ly twice as much work can be done in a day's time. This means the sav- ing of the wages of one man over two men working with two teams. It is Just as easy to run a four- horse plow, harrow, disk or other farm tool as it [s to work with two horses and a lghter tool, especially after man and teams, become used to the work. If you are a oneman farmer and cannot afford to keep two teams for exclusive work, then keep one work team and a team of mares ‘to raise foals and work when there {s heavy work to do. These extra mares will pay good money on the investment with the foals raised alone, and the work secured from them will be ex- tra profit. A moderate amount of ‘work will always do them good, and with their aid you will be able td put out and harvest almost double the crops that you could without them, For hauling loads of groin, mill feeds, hay, hogs and other things to and from town, it is a waste of time for a man to plod along with one team and a emall Iead, when four horses and the same driver could haul dou- ble the load in the same time with less load to the individual work animal. On our own farm we use two, three and four horses for such hauling, ac- cording to needs, but never go out with, a single team when an extra horse or extra team would mean economy of time and labor. A third horse on the end of the wazon tongue makes a vast dif- ference in drawing a heavy load up a steep grade or over tough roads. ‘Tho extra team on the load makes a still greater difference. One great advantage fn working three, four or more horses or mules to a plow or other farm tool, is that much better work’ can be done, Too much of our plowing is shallow and profitless. One team may not be able to pull a common-sized plow run deep without fatigue long before the day's work is done, but four horses can easily pull a larger plow run 2 or 3 Inches deeper, deepening the seed-bed and increasing the moisture-holdiag capacity of the soll for dry weather. Most of our crops die and burn out in ary times because of extreme shallow plowing. It ts similarly trie with disking and barrowiog. With a single team there is not enough horse-power to do good work. The tool can “only scratch the ground.” But with three or four horses hitcbed to the same tool, or | even a larger one, welght may be ap- plied, and the soil 1s fairly ground up and reduced to ashes. Onco going over the plowed ground with heavy teams and heavy tools Is better than | three or four times with a light team | and a light tool. The reason is evi- dent. f With presentday farming, much power ts required to do the work. If’ & gas tractor cannot be used, then’ keep four or more good horses, mules. or mares, and when work ts to be done, let every work animal be In harness aud “pulling against the col- tar." SOY BEANS. ‘The soy bean is an importatton from Southeastern Asta, where It is grown for human food, Caucasians have not become accustomed to them as food, however, and their chfef use in this country 18 as a forage crop. Soy beans are grown most success- fully In this country south of the red clover area and where alfalfa cannot be grown successfully. Since cultt- vation is required, the soy bean can- not compete successfully with red clover or alfalfa, but where those craps are not known the soy bean, can be grown with profit where.a pro- duction of more than fifteen bushels can be assured. In many places twenty bushels of soy beans per acre can be grown. Soy beans have one advantage over cowpeas because they are drought re- sistant, but unless tnclosed in rabbit- proof fencing are very likely to prove & poor crop Where rabbits abound. In ordering seed it ts very {mportant to obtain the right varlety, as there are great differences between the 200 varieties of soy beans. The Ito San {a a variety which will mature as far north as southern Wisconsin and southern Michigan. The mammoth variety 1s the largest, growing from three to five feet high, but will not mature north of the southern boundary of Kentucky. Seed should be carefully tested before planting. ‘The soll should be prepared care- tilly for soy beans, for otherwise woeds are likely to choke out the young plants. The ground should be Prepared with the plow. and then worked with the disk and barrow un- til a firm seed bed with the upper two Inches loose, has been secured. The planting should be shatlow, pre- ferably between one and two inches. This Is Importaut, for faflure can fre- quently be traced to planting too deep. ‘The beans should be planted In rows about three feet apart. Soy beans may be planted at any time between early spring and midsummer. They are generally planted in early June. In the lowlands of Tennessee and North Carolina two crops of the early and medium varieties can be secured in @ season, . Like other legumes, soy beans are able to utilize the trogen in the alr, and add it to the soll by means of Toot nodules. Those nodules are caused by certain bacteria, which Seem to be present in large quantt- tles in the soils of southern states, but which are rare in some northern states, causing weak growth. The new fleld may Ve inoculated by the ‘use of cultures furntshed by the de- partment of agriculture or by scat- fering broadcast sol trom a tleld for- merly used for soy beans. For hay the soy bean fs fully equal to alfalfa, but requires more care. The beans should be cut as soon as the’ top leaves begin to turn yellow or to fall off. If the cutting ts done later the stems will become woody. In curing the bay care should be ex- ercised to prevent the loss of leaves. From three to six days 1s ample time to make good soy bean hay. Soy beans make a splendid pas- turage, particularly for hogs. Corn should be used in addition. ‘The hogs should be turned In on the soy beans while the pods are not yet ripe. Soy beans may be grown with cow- peas, but are more commonly grown with corn. If grown with corn the field is usually harvested at one time for ensllage or used for pasturage of hogs. The bean may be grown for the grain. The feeding value of the grain 1s very bigh, being siightly su- perior tg.cottonseed meal. Soy beans can also fe grown as a short rotation crop. In Tennessee and South Caro- lina the beans are often grown be- tween two wheat crops and in other® cases between oat crops. AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION. The fundamental purpose of agri- cultural education Is to establish a permanently successful agriculture. Experience teaches us that economic prosperity alone, although of primary Importance, does not insure a per- manently successful agriculture. Great prosperity in some rural communities has resulted in all the farmers mov- ing in town. The agriculture of that particular community ts thereafter al- most certain to decline. It may be safely affirmed that any set of condl- tions which has a tendency to bring about such a result Is not favorable to the establishment of a permanent- ly successful system of agriculture. Agriculture, in a broad sense, 1s not only a vocation, it {s a type of living. Successful agriculture’must, therefore, involve a satisfactory social organtza- tion. Not until the country boy and girl have the same educational oppor- tunity as the town boy and girl, and the father and mother have church and other social opportunities fully equivalent to thelr town cousins can country Ife be regarded as perma- nently successful. ‘The agricultural educational Inet!- tutions of the future will devote more and more attention to the problems of successful living in the open country. From the American farmer's point of view one of the most important steps of the future is the organization of co-’ operative enterprises among farmers. ‘This country Js behind the Continental countries of Europe in this regard. Credit banks, community breeding, co- operative cow testing associations, butter and egg socletles, co-operative lsundries, etc., are all Important ad- juncts to future agricultural develop- ment. The college of agricuture must go serlously about the study of rural soclal institutions, and let us hope that {t will be as successful In this as it has been in solving the problems of soll fertility, animal nutrition and plant breeding—Dean F. B. Mumford of Missouri University. SOWING GRASS ON SNOW. It 1g axfomatic that one must make hay while the sun shines, but it is equally true that hay must be planted whether the sun shines or not. What holds true of hay will apply to its cousin, the blue grass, which is unt- versally used for lawns in this coun- try. 7 Blue grass should be sown on the snow. To many city-rafsed persons this will sound like an absurdity. in many places, however, this method will give better results than thaf’ used by nature, which fs to drop the seed in the fall before the snow falls. This fall seed 1s subjected to the same cold, the same rain and the same changes in temperature as the seed sown on the snow. The only ditfer- ence {is that the period of exposure is longer. The birds pick up a greater quantity and fall rains wash a larger quantity of it away, Grass seed sown on the snow, how- ever, 18 exposed to fewer dangers. There are fewer birds about, and there are fewer washing rains. When the snow melts the seeds sink into the ground. Usually a freeze comeq before there {s @ rain and the seeds become fixed and covered in the ground, there to remain until! they Entered at the Post Office at.

SATURDAY MARCH 23RD, 1912 During the past two weeks the country from one end to the other has been confronted with acts of lawlessness which have caused her sober and more thoughtful citizens to hang their heads in shame. First came the bomb outrages in our great Metropolis which almost caused one of her noted judges to lose his life; next the awful deeds of the lawless mountaineers of Virginia in which the murderers were neither deterred from their dastardly act by old age or sex, but in which five persons have already lost their lives and ere the end comes no one can correctly, state to what extent the number of victims will be supplemented; next the jail delivery out in Nebraska with its toll of three human lives, one an uninterested young man who was walking by the roadside during the exchange of shots by the fugitive convicts and their pursuers; then the two bold train robberies, and lastly the disgraceful court scene in New Orleans when even the majesty of the law itself took part in the fiasco. These are but the more serious outbreaks to which must be added scores of minor instances where law and order have been set aside and then we shall get an idea of the volume of crimes throughout the country. Truly should there be an awakening of the national conscience to the gravity of the situation and a nation wide movement toward reform. Sermon from a Philosopher On last Sunday evening the members and friends of the First Congregational church had the rare privilege of listen to a sermon the like of which has scarcely been heard in this city for many years. The speaker on this occasion was the Rev. Jenkins Lloyd Jones of Chicago, ill., one of America's greatest and most impressive public speakers. The large audience which greeted the speaker was a most representative one and the marked attention given him during his forty minute sermon showed the profound appreciation in which the his words were received. Rev. Jones' sermon was one of the most encouraging ever heard by our people in this city, the only regrettable feature being that the audience would have been pleased had it been longer. The music rendered by the choir was excellent. A Beautiful Display. The spring opening on last Monday at the Colored Minibury store, 464 West Broad street, was one of the most attractive ever seen here and was attended by ladies from every part of the city. The display of the hats, ribbons, feathers and all articles appertaining to female headgear was as rich and as varied as was shown in the large stores down town. The season's latest creations were on exhibition and the most fastidious of the large crowd that was in attendance were simply charmed with the beautiful things which they beheld. Nothing but words of praise were to be heard on every side and Mrs. Allen and her employees are to be congratulated upon the excellent showing made. This establishment is a most worthy one and deserves the unstinted patronage of our women. A Chance for Investment A Chance for Investment We call the attention of the many readers of The Tribune to the large half page advertisement of the Wilkinson Realty Company which appears on the opposite page Cann Park is situated in the growing part of the city and offers a good opportunity for investment. Messrs G. H. Bowen, Edward Rankin and S. T. Jordan, who are selling these lots, are the wide-awake salesmen who have about completed the Central Park proposition which was offered to our people a little over a year ago. They have started in selling the Cann Park property with the same vim and enthusiasm which characterized the sale of the Central Park property. IN HIS HOLY TEMPLE.

On Good Friday night the choir and congregation sing the "Story of the Cross." To all of these services the public at large is cordially invited. Watch the Tribune for the notice of the "Dry Bones" sermon. St. Paul C. M. E. Church. Words are inadequate to express the glory, and the excellence of the spirit of peace. harmony and good will, that is visible among the members and friends of our congregation. Besides, the Lord is adding to our number some very excellent men and women such as should be saved. The first quarterly conference over which Rev. R. L. Mitchell of Douglass, Ga., presided, was indeed a success. He expressed himself as being greatly pleased with the work. He said, that this was the best held this season. Don't forget the rally on the fifth Sunday. Bishop R. S. Williams, D. D., of Augusta, Ga., will preach the anniversary sermon Rev. Bro.

On Wednesday morning March 13th, occurred the death of Miss Josephine Juliet Drayton after an illness of four months. She was born in this city on March 14th, 1891 and was loved by everybody, both young and old. She was trained up in the Second African Baptist Sunday School from early childhood, and early in her seventeenth year she decided to make a change and spend the rest of her days in the service of the Lord. She embraced religion on March 1st, 1908 and was baptized and received into the church on April 12th, 1908 and up to the time of her affliction she was a faithful soldier in the cause of Christ and found great joy in serving the Lord. Though her illness was a very lengthy one she never lost faith in her God nor wonder ed why He had seen fit to lay a hand of affliction upon her, but she bore it with patience and prayer and even in her most agonizing moments she could always give her friends a smile, together with words of cheer. We cannot understand why the Lord saw fit to cut off her young life, one that was full of usefulness, neither shall we stop to question Him, because He never makes a mistake. Her life was worthy of emulation, she was industrious and was one who always stood for the truth and that which was right. Best of all she was a Christian, one who was anchored in Christ and did not fear death, having realized a few years ago that it was not all of life to live nor death to die, she made preparations to meet her God. When the summons came for her at midnight she called her friends who were standing near her bed-side and told them she was not afraid to die for all things were well. It is our loss one I shall never forget or understand so we shall have to join the poet in saying "Jesus understands and all His ways are best." The funeral services were held at the Second African Baptist Church on Friday afternoon and were largely attended, despite the inclementy of the weather. The pastor Rev. D. Augustine Reid, conducted the services, assisted by Rev. Wm. Gray and both spoke of the beautiful life Josephine had lived. A quartette from the Georgia State Industrial College, from which she had been financed, rendered a selection, "Sleep, My Lady, Sleep," and tears burst forth from every eye. She is贪婪 but her memory will always be cherished by those whom she has left behind. She is survived by a devoted mother Mrs. George H. Draughton; two brothers Messrs. Charles and James Simon now of New York; and a true friend from early childhood, Miss Romena H. Gillard and hosts of others who are mourning her loss.

THE ANSWER IS "YES" THEN BUY A LOT IN CANN PARK, IN THE CITY Just south of Brownsville on 42nd to 48th Street, between Florence street on the east, and Hopkins St., on the west in the city of Savannah. Not far from the Best St., and Battery Park car lines. When West Broad Sts., line is extended, they will be even more convenient. DO YOU WANT TO SAVE MONEY? THE ANSWER IS "YES" THEN BUY CANN PARK LOTS. The regular monthly payments are small, but they will cause you to think twice before spending your money foolishly for things that you do not need. "You will thus become prudent and learn to save and "saving will make you rich" THEN BUY CANN PARK LOTS. Our prices are lower now tian they will ever be again, the fact is we could sell them for more money right now as the prices were fixed and our contract made last year. Since then there has been great improvement in the lots and adjacent property. Right across Florence St., lots are selling for $100 more than we are asking and no house can be built on them costing less than $1500.00 and there are other restrictions, while our lots are sold WITHOUT RESTRICTIONS.

"Wise men are instructed by Reason, men of less understanding by Exeprience, all others by Necessity. "The judgment and sincerity exercised by individuals in their efforts for protection, uplift and development of themselves not those dependent upon them, are the unmistakable marks of the difference in men.

"Happy is the young man, who by Reason and a knowledge of men and things, protects himself against sickness and accidents by a liberal insurance policy, for he has a certain "peace of mind" denied the thoughtless. Besides, in youth, the cost of insurance is smaller than in later years. "Fortunate is the man, who by Experience with unexpected Doctor's bills appreciates the value of an Insurance policy for himself and those dependent upon him. "Wretched is the man who, when the ravages of time have reduced his youthful bouyancy and vigor to a declining old age of affliction and discouragement, first awakens to the Necessity of Insurance.

Work, department of Records and Research. The following ts Mr. Work’s review of the political activities during 1911: * May 17 the national negro Demo- ¢ratic convention way -held' at Indtan- apolls. The following appeal was sent out: We, the negroes tn the na- tional Demogratic convention assem- bled, this, the 17th day of May, 1912, desire to appeal to the colored voters of the United States ‘to open their eyes to the condition surrounding us as a race, and suggest that it is wis- dom's way that the negro should no longer follow, blindly, one party to its own harm and detriment as he has heretofore followed the Repub- ican party. We believe that the American negro should divide his vote the same as the white man and be found in all political parties for precisely the same reason that ‘the white men are found fn all parties. Therefore, as we negro Democrats Teaffirm our allegiance to the Demo- cratic party, belfeving that its prin- ciples for reciprocity and for tariff for revenue only are the most conducive for an economical administration ‘of the affairs of the American govern- ment, and comes nearer to meeting the approval of the masses of the ‘common people. _ We therefore appeal to the intelli- Gent, honest, law-abiding colored citt- zens of the United States of America. to organize and bind themselves to- gether in Democratic clubs prepara- tory tor the war of the ballot in 1912. Remember the ancient adage, “The wise man forseeth the evil and hideth himself, but the foo goes out and is overtaken in the error of his ways.” The Natfonat Independent Political Rights league met in Boston in Sep- tember. In its address to the coun- try it demanded (1) the enforcement of the constitution to stop distran- chisement and peorage; (2) the pass- age of an anti-Jim Crow law for inter- State passengers; (3) federal aid to education with the same schooling for all; (4) restoration of the discharged Brownville soldiers; (5) “legislation making lynching a capital offense under federal jurtsdiction. | President Taft on the matter of of- fice holding by negroes said in an in- terview published in the Outlook: “What I have done in this Hne (ot recognition of the Democracy of the south) has been without sacrifice of any Interest of my own party. “I have appojnted many negroes to office, and have given some of them, ike Lewis, Johnson and McKinlay— offices of eSsential dignity at Wash- ington. What I have not done is to force them upon unwilling communif- ties In the south itself 1 have ap- pointed none where 1 knew that the race feeling was strong. and have pre- ferred giving large offices to well- equipped negroes of the higher class to scattering a lot of petty ones among the mass of their race. “This ts not because I lack sym- pathy with the negroes, but because 1 want to see them advance. The worst thing I could have done for them was to keep alive any illfeeling their white neighbors cherished toward them. But it stiffens fbeir self-re- spect and spurs them on to more thorough preparation for public serv- ice if they see political honors going to their worthiest leaders.” In Calitornia the woman’e suffrage advocates appointed special workers among the colored people and it Is re- ported that the negroes generally sup- ported the suffrage movement. In Il- Mnois 150 delegates of the Coalition league met in Springfield and adoptea resolutions in which they declared themselves opposed to all present po- litical parties. The megro voters of the state were urged to vote inde. pendently. In Loulsfana there has been a bitter fight against the black and tan faction and the lily white fac- tlon of the Republican party for su- premacy. The fight was carried be- fore the recent meeting of the nation- al Republican committee In Washing- ton and the old line Republicans charged the ly whites with not deal- ing fair with them. In Maryland the a miserable and disappointing snow in the state election. in South Caro lina ft 1s said that for the first time in thirty years all the colored Repub. Hcans are working together afd are being supported by’ the old ine white Republicans. Rev. Richard Carroll, Prof. M. T. Frederick, Thomas E, Mit ler, Henry Toole and several other colored men voted in the South Caro ima Democratic primary. The laws governing the Democratic primary in that state permit negroes to vote pro: vided they voted for General Wade Hampton In 1876 and also have voted In every Democratic primary since ‘that time. Henry Toole of Rockhill, S. C.,, fs perhaps the only negro known to have been a member of the Klu Klux Klan, In the country. He is and always has been a Democrat and in reconstruction days was imprisoned because of his connection with the Klu Klux Klan outrages. He Is said to be proud of the fact that he spent three weeks in York jail with the young white men of Rockhill, S. C., who were confined tnere at the time. In the recent prohibition campaign in Texas, great efforts were made by both sides to secure the negro vote. Affer the election eacn party declared that the majority of the negroes voted on the other side. NATIVES IN CONGO STILL IN SLAVERY fn’ a memorandum to his majesty’: government the Congo Reform asso: clatfon makes strong statements with regard to conditions in the Congo and the attitude of the Belgian govern: ment in persisting in denying the right of other powers algnatory to the Berlin act to criticise and, if neces: sary, to Intervene In the affairs of the Congo conducted in a manner con. trary to the*terms of that act. That policy E. D. Morel says In a letter to Sir Edward Grey, calls for a clear and explicit repudiation on the part of his majesty's government. While the Reform association fs un- able to describe its satisfaction as un- reserved, it 1s pleased to note the be- ginning of methods of approximating to civilized rule in reform areas. As to the condition of natives in areas where reform has not yet come into force, “the state of affairs is ex- tremely grave,” and the news at hand Is declared to be “very nearly as bad as any Intelligence which has been re- ceived from the Congo, even in the worst days of the old regime.” The extent of depopulation “‘can only be described as appalling.” “A direct system of slavery created and maintained by the Belgian govern- ment" Is the description given by Con- sul Armstrong In.one of his reports, which fs quoted. The traffic in arms carried on by the Belgian government In order to procure ivory and rubber for purposes of revenue, in deflance' of interna- tional conventions, has according to the same official's report, reached “the most alarming proportions.” Severe ‘comment is made with re- gard to the unsatisfactory character of the decree restoring to’ the natives the right to trade. It is stated that the Congo is “practically closed to ivory traders.” The Belgian revenue purchases at fabulous prices. A gun valued at $1 will go in exchange for ivory worth $1,000. CEYLON TO HAVE NORMAL SCHOOL FOR HATIVES OW TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE PLAR Montgomery, Ala—With a view to establishing a normal school In the Island of Ceylon, similar, though not as elaborate as Booker Washington's institute at Tuskegee for negroes, Alex, G. Fraser, a native Scotchman. who has been engaged in educational work in Africa and Ceylon the past 12 years, arrived [In Montgomery aft. er spending three days at the Tuske- gee institute. He,inspected the Tus. kegee school and conferred with Booker Washington. “The Tuskegee school is magnif- cent,” exclaimed the young Scotch: man, “Ivhave already established schools and colleges in Ceylon, from the primary department up to the uni. versity examinations. I now intend to establish a normal school for the natives, but, of course, it will be on @ More modest scale than the Tuske- gee school, because I have not nearly the financial resources behind me.” NEW ENGLAND APPLE PIE.

Waterbury, Conn—The Waterbury American, the leading paper of this city, publishes the statement that an increase {n Tuskegee institute’s en- dowment from $2,000,000 to $5,000,000 has been asked by the trustees of the institution, and a circular has been Is- sued setting forth the needs of the sghool. ‘ On the board of trustees are: Seth Low, chairman, New York city; Wright W. Campbell, vice-chairman, Tuskegee, Ala.; Robert C. Bedford, secretary, Be- loit, Wis.; Warren Logan, treasurer, Tuskegee Institute, Ala.; Robert C. Og- den, New York city; Charles W. Hare, Tuskegee, Ala.; John C.Grant, Chica- g0; Charles F, Dole, Jamalca Plain, Mass.; Randall O. Simpson, Furman, Ala.; George Foster Peabody, New York city; Booket T. Washington, Tus- kegee Institute, Ala.; Andrew J. Wil- ‘born, Tuskegee, Ala.; Victor H. Tu- ‘lane, Montgomery, Ala; Willlam G. Wileox, New York city; William Jay Schleffelin, New York city; Belton Gilbreath, Birmingham, Ala.; Theo- dore Roosevelt, Oyster Bay, N. Y.; Frank Trumbull, New York city; Charles E. Mason, Boston. Within the past few years the trus- tees, feeling that so great~a work should not depend so largely In the future as it has in the past on the life and exertions of one individual, have sought to assume a larger degree of responsibility for the conduct of Tus- kegee, in order to assure Its future and continue and broaden its work. They have held an annual meeting In New York, and its executive and in- vestment committees have also met frequently; in addition to which the whole board of trustees has held a meeting at Tuskegee in February, last ing to or three days, in order to have opportunity to inspect closely at first hand all the operations and re- sults of the institute.and to plan In- telligently for it. A number have also inspected the school at the time of these meetings. : It is now shown, in view of thé in- creasing needs of the school in its work, that the endowment fund should be increased to at least $5,000,000, which would enable the president and other officers to devote themselves more exclusively to the work there, in! stead of being obliged to take time and strength to raise money. Small gifts, for the current operating ex- penses, are also constantly needed. The expenses for 1911 amounted to $275,236.89, to meet which $17,317 was received from students’ entrance fees, $71,511 as income from the endow- ment, $4,500 from the state of Ala- baina, and $139,315 from donations for current expenses—a total of $232,643, so that there was a deficit of nearly $43,000 which had to be met from un- designated legacles.. For the expenses of the institute proper and for such subsidiary activitfes as the Tuskegee Negro Conference and the National Negro Business league, about $175,000 must be held each year. The burden of raising this largo amount annully falls mainly upon the principal, Mr. Washington, and ton-. sumes a large part of his-time and en- ergy. The trustees feel that the work of the Institute Is now so thoroughly es- tablished and Its great value not only to the colored race but also to the na- tion, Is now so fully demonstrated, that the American people must realize that the ability and tact and influence of Mr. Washington constitute a great national asset which should not be wasted in the comparatively unim- portant work of raising money. If the endowment fund were increas- ed from its present figure—practically $2,000,000—to $5,000,000, Mr. Washing- ton would be free to devote the re- maining years of his life to broaden: ing and strengthening the great ‘work of the institute, whosé future is fraught with such incalculable {n- terest and Importance to the entire country. Even the smallest amount will be gratefully recetved and prompt- ly acknowledged. ANGORA WOOL.

NEGRO FIGHTER DROPS DEAD DURING BATTLE Cleveland.—Charles Ellis, the negro welterweight pugilist, who fell uncon- scious at the start of the sixth round of his bout with Joe Motto here, died.

Dr. Cyrus L. Cutler, the well-known Springfield surgeon, is a member of the Colonial club, an institution that fines its members for talking shop. Dr. Cutler, getting out of his motorcar, entered the Colonial club the other day for luncheon, and, advancing into the restaurant, said to a lawyer, as he took off his goggles: "Well, old man, how are you?" The lawyer got Dr. Cutler fined then and there for talking shop. The next day, when he arrived at the club again for luncheon, the surgeon, angered at what had happened, cut the lawyer. The latter then had him fined once more.—New York Tribune. THE BISHOP OF MIMOSA. When a bishop of Minnesota was abroad he did a great deal of work in Rome.

"Well, you know that he invented a combined potato masher, can opener and nutmeg grater." "Of course. And it's making him rich." "Sure. He's a millionaire already, but, he's sore because his name was not included in the list of the world's immortals." MUSICAL ECONOMY "What's all that racket about in the parlor?" asked the father.

WHY JIM FLYNN WAS MATCHED TO BOX JACK JOHNSON WHY JIM FLYNN WAS MATCHED TO BOX JACK JOHNSON If so many fight fans and critics think Jim Flynn, Pueblo's fireman, has no chance in his coming battle with Jack Johnson for the heavyweight championship of the world, set for July 4 next, why did Flynn and his manager, Jack Curley, make the match? Not for any losing end they may hope to get out of the contest, for the conditions are so framed it is the biggest kind of a gamble whether there will be a losing end of sufficient size to pay training expenses. Any other answer might be hard to those who have a well-grounded impression that Flynn will be a child in the big black's hands. But it is easy for Flynn and his manager to give good and sufficient reasons for thus running their heads, and especially Flynn's, into this supposedly deadly noose. Flynn's faith in himself is abiding. He infects others with this confidence. So it was with Curley, but long before Curley and Flynn formed their alliance Curley got some ideas about Johnson and he is willing to give them to the public now for the purpose of justifying his action and Flynn's in the matter. "While I was in Europe I saw much of Johnson and had to take notice of the way he was living here," Curley said. "He was much in evidence in the boulevard cafes in Paris, and every time I saw him I felt that if some scrappy, game fellow would show up he could take the title away from him. As a matter of fact, I thought I knew of some middle-weights in America who could whip him. "Mind you, this was long before I had any idea of hooking up in any way with Jim Flynn. "When I returned to this country and saw Carl Morris I gave him a grand outside chance of being the lucky man against the big black. They told me that Flynn had given Al Kaufman an unmerciful beating in Kansas City, such a beating that poor Al was laid up for 72 hours and Flynn was under police surveillance. Kaufman ruled a 1 to 3 first choice, but it was Flynn's fight over every inch of the way. "Before that contest there had been much talk of matching Kaufman against Johnson, he being considered the ideal 'white hope,' Indeed, as I remember it, Jack was roasted severely for seeming to dodge Al when the late Billy Delaney and Billy Brady offered to find a fat purse for the scrap, "Now, if Kaufman was so well entitled to a match with Johnson, why is not the man who so thoroughly whipped Kaufman? This query goes directly and pertinently to Brady, Masterson, Corbett and the other wise fellows who conceded Kaufman such a grand chance with Johnson. "Then, too, please consider that Johnson never would give Sam Langford a chance, sidestepping him persistently and religiously. Did not Flynn once beat Langford in Los Angeles in ten rounds, getting every newspaper decision there after the contest? "And did not Flynn hand out an unmercilic beating to Carl Morris; such a beating, in fact, that the referee, Charley White, nearly lost his license for not stopping it, and the club was severely, censured. Had Morris as much as shaded Flynn the country would have acclaimed him the real goods and would have demanded that Johnson fight the Oklahoma man. As a matter of fact, that match would have been made the following day. "Now, then, here's the point: If Kaufman, Langford and Morris were fit opponents for Johnson, why not the man who beat them all?" "Five years ago Johnson beat Flynn, who weighed 155 pounds and was realy an inexperienced beginner. Today Flynn weighs 195 pounds, knows how to plow in and at the same time protect himself. "Surely no one will say that Johnson is any better today than he was then. And besides this, five years ago Johnson did not stop Flynn. He pecked away at him until he gave him a bad eye and had him bleeding so that Mrs. Flynn jumped into the ring in the eleventh round and stopped the battle, the referee refusing to permit the game and still willing Flynn to continue. Coast critics have told me all this. "Before Johnson beat Jeffries did the people think he was so much? Marvin Hart went 25 rounds with him, and even if the decision was questionable Hart was there and fighting hard at the end. Johnson didn't stop Tommy Burns in Australia, Burns always claiming it was a rotten decision that stopped the battle. So much for Johnson's championship career. "And Flynn claims that Johnson is not nearly as good now as he was two years ago, and never will be that good again." Curley further points out that it will be two years to the day on the next Fourth of July since Johnson has had a battle, that the black man is 35 years of age or more, has lived rapidly and, summed up, never was a man-killer in the ring. HOW THE MAID WAS TEMPTED. The maid was in the back yard hanging out the clothes. "And that," said the queen ruefully, "is the way we lost her. The woman who lives next door looked over the fence and offered her a dollar a week more than we were giving her." AMONG THE MASONS. In the last issue of The Tribune the Grand Master gave the brethren timely warning against impostors. Let the lodges heed. How about your annual report? The Grand Lodge meets June 18. As an entered apprentice man sets forth in the morning of life, taking his place among his fellows and wearing the pattern of his own character, he goes on until as a fellow-craft he reaches the period of manhood where he is beset by temptations, trials and difficulties, and is taught that "clothed in the armor of virtue he may resist the temptations, he may cast misfortunes aside and rise triumphantly above them." As a master Mason he beholds man in the "sere and yellow leaf," when he looks upon the sunset of life and patiently walts the approaching night. Ingratitude. It is an old saying that if you do a man nineteen favors and for any reason decline to do him the twentieth he will forget the nineteen requests you have granted and only remember the one you have refused—and for that refusal he will hate you ever afterward. And this is true of some men; it is true of men of mean and narrow hearts; but it is as natural for a noble soul to cherish a lively recollection of kindnesses received as it is to breathe. And while we are often shocked to see acts of friendship towards others which have cost us a good deal of time and of labor entirely overlooked and forgotten, we not infrequently, on the other hand, are surprised by the grateful appreciation of some favor long since rendered and the very performance of which had passed from our own recollection until reminded of it by the recipient. We have always regarded gratitude as a feeling which is hardly susceptible of being taught by any one. A lecture on gratitude, to whomsoever addressed, instead of awakening that emotion, is very apt to engender a feeling of indignation and hatred. People never like to be told to be grateful. And it is of no use to tell them. Ig it is not natural to a soul to appreciate the good nature of others, it can be taught such appreciation.—The Broadside. The Dimit. I never hear a brother call for his dimit but it makes me feel sad. Why? First, because I know the brother is cutting himself and his loved ones off from all the pleasures of mixing and partaking with his brethren of the pleasures of our social meetings, and the future benefits that he and his family have a right to expect, and receive as Mason in good standing. But it deprives him of the privilege of a true Mason—the right of making the old better by setting the example Masonry teaches for others to follow. A Mason in good standing has a great privilege and responsibility resting on him—not alone in living up to, but in teaching to all mankind the grand and noble life our old order teaches for their good in time, but especially in fitting us for that home not made with hands eternal in the heavens. A man must get a poor idea of Masonry who can calmly ask for a severance of the ties that bind him to live a better man and enable him to be more helpful to our fellow-men. My brother, before you ask for a dimit sit down and count the cost—count all the pleasures and benefits to you and to your family in time, alone, will the loss of these compensate you for the paltry sum you pay in annual dues? If you think it will, then by all means get a dimit. Masonry doesn't need your sort. Masonry wants a broad-minded member, all wool and a yard wide. The narrow-minded, picayunish man has no place in a Masonic lodge. Get out, Masonry is better off without you. If you will learn Masonry, imbibe its noble teachings, and practice its precepts, you won't want a dimit. Try it, my brother. SAM MILLER Operating in McIntosh County—His Push and Progress Put in Play. About a year ago Mr. Samuel Miller, one of our city's most prosperous citizens and business men, decided to shy his castor to other realms than these. He decided to spread out and do business upon a different and larger scale. He left Savannah—beautiful and prosperous Savannah—alluring and seductive Savannah, with all of its charms, all of its endearing relations. He located at Eulonia, Ga., on the G., C. & P. railroad, and there purchased 720 acres of the productive soil of McIntosh county, there to operate various industries. He is raising chickens upon a large scale and "hogs and hominy" in abundance. He is operating a large saw mill and is contemplating the erection of a 15-room residence for the comfort of family and friends. He has purchased a motor boat of the naphtha variety that has the capacity of carrying 35 persons. This boat has cabin and waterworks and every convenience of a miniature home. Mr. Miller's property is convenient- ly situated, being on the Sapelo river that abounds with choice fish. It takes no expert to angle the finny tribe successfully down about the "Miller plantation." Choice specie of the "finny tribe," which have been discarded by the inhabitants of Mr. Millers baillwick as "chain gang" fish (says Miller) are easily obtained, as a majority of the locals will not eat them. Mr. Miller relinquished a job carrying with it a salary of $135, a business that paid, a home of value and a host of friends to take up his abode at his present location. During the first year, in his new home, his living expense was only $70, as against about that sum per month in the city. These two sums furnish a monstrous comparison and argues the convenience of life in the country, when protection is assured by wise preparation. From live hens, in one year, Mr. Miller has raised 100 head of chickens. Speaking of his friends in the city, Miller states that he would consider it an insult should they offer remuneration for a few days' outing "beneath his vine and fig tree." He states, however, that such of his friends as like to, need not await elaborate preparation. The conduct of Mr. Miller speaks volumes to the prophetic. The ownership of lands in this domain will, in the future, define one's position in the community. With hordes of immigrants pouring into the South, it is but reasonable to opine that land values will rise and that uncultivated and purchasable lands will ultimately become a rarity. The wisdom of investment in these lands, while they are purchasable, looms up in its intensity, before the eyes of calculating persons. "Back to the farm" may be an unrelished chant, viewed in the light of prevailing and contingent conditions, but the resonance of its truth is alarming to tht thoughtful. When the restrictions of the city grow burdensome and unbearable, when competition shall pinion with its fangs all kinds and character of labor, when hunger and want shall press down more heavily upon the poor of our great cities, then, too late, will it dawn upon the vast majority of our people that opportunity to secure lands, and homes in the country is a thin gof the past and an impossible barrier to their future progress. We congratulate Brother Miller upon the wisdom of the sacrifice (?) and predict for him a great and prosperous career as a farmer. Though a noviitate in the art of farming and not a "fellow of the furrow," he will win out, for the "wind and the waves are ever upon the side of the boldest navigator." E. W. S.
