The twenty-second session of the Grand Lodge of the Knights of Pythias of Georgia will convene in Columbus, Ga. on next Tuesday in what promises to be one of the largest and most harmonious sessions ever held by this order. The Savannah delegation which will be present at the grand lodge will be very large, both the lodges and the courts sending full representation. They will begin leaving the city Sunday night when a part of the delegation will depart at nine o'clock over the Central in a special train, while the remaining portion of the delegation will leave the following morning over the Seaboard Air Line. The Savannah delegation which will be joined en route by representatives from other cities and will journey to the convention city in ingreat style. Capt. M. W. Bryan will be in charge of the delegation leaving Sunday night, while Major C. S. Andrews will be in command of the delegation leaving Monday morning. The entertainment which has been planned by the citizens of Columbus for the visiting Knights promises to be very elaborate. The entire city will be thrown open to the visitors and the Columbus Knights expect to give the grand lodge one of the most rousing times in the history of the order. On Monday night there will be a public exercise in one of the leading churches and many prominent speakers will address the audience. On Tuesday morning the convention proper will convene, with grand Chancellor G. R. Hutto occupying the chair. Much interest is being manifested in the festivities of Wednesday afternoon when the competitive prize drill contests will be held at the fair grounds. For weeks the companies throughout the state which will enter the contest have been perfecting themselves in the various forms of company maneuvers and the contest bids fair to be very sharply fought. The Savannah companies are all expecting to make a good account of themselves and carry off the honors of the day. The local Knights of Pythias' band will ofcourse be one of the shining marks at the encampment and they are confident of bringing back to Savannah first honors as the best trained set of musicians at the convention. The election of officers will be held on Thursday and indications are that the present officers will be re-elected. Mrs. R. L. Barnes will preside over the Grand Court and will able to present a most interesting report, showing much progress made during the year. and Joiners of America. Local Union, 318.

Martin, Treasurer; Amos Chisolm, Conductor; Hasting N. Newton, Warden; J. M. Suares, Henry Frazier and T. Bogan, Trustees; Jas. Fox, Arthur Deves and S. Williams, Audt's. Refreshments were served after the installation, and all enjoyed themselves to the highest. St. Paul C. M. E. Church Children's day service at St. Paul C. M. E. church was quite interesting. This, of course, is due to the uniring effort and sacrifice of time on the part of Miss Jamie Murry and Mrs. Nona Mitchell. Avery large and appreciative audience was present to witness the closing exercise Sunday night. Sunday is communion day. Let all be present, your loyalty to Christ demands your presence. Subject to be discussed by the pastor, "A wise choice." Sunday evening, "The law of Moses as it relates to the present day Christianity." The last named subject has been given much care and consideration by the pastor and he wishes you to have the benefit of his thoughts on this subject. Come, hear it, be judges for yourselves. VOLUME XXVII The REV. RICHARD CARROLL IN SAVANNAH. The Plowman Editor Takes Trip To Savannah.—Speaks in Opera House.—Stopped at Fairfax On Sunday June 23rd, I spoke in the M. E. Church at Fairfax, S. C., Rev. G. W. Braxton is the pastor, and a most excellent man. I spent the night at Mrs. Blakeley's she has a fine home. I had good food, soft bed and a splendid night's rest. I gave my humane lecture on Dumb Animals in the afternoon and at night I spoke on Service. Monday morning I went on to Savannah and was met by Prof. Grant and taken to the home of Mr. McDowell, the real estate dealer, and again I found an excellent home and polite people Mr. McDowell and one of his daughters are afflicted; he has had a stroke of paralysis, and she is suffering with rheumatism. I have great sympathy for them. Mrs. McDowell is a very intelligent woman and of a congenial temper. These people did everything to make it pleasant for me. Mr. Chas. McDowell furnished me a hack to see the city. I also had a fine automobile drive. I called at the Tribune office. Mr. Johnson is still at the head; he was always a splendid newspaper man. They have a fine plant, employ ten printers and are situated in a two story building (their own) in which there are several other real estate and insurance offices. Mr. A. L. Tucker, an attorney at law, is the president of the Board of Directors of the Library Association, under whose auspices the mass meeting at the Opera House was given. Mr. Tucker is a man of brain and push, and has a flattering share of good, practical common sense: I spoke in the Theater to a great audience after a most interesting programme had been rendered by local talent. The only criticism I have to make is that they had to pay $100 for the use of the building. I really thought there was enough on the program without my speech. Prof. Grant introduced me and I spoke on Service and Sacrifice. I did my best. I suppose the people were pleased, as I was frequently interrupted by prolonged applause. I was sorry that I could not stay longer and meet some more of my old friends. This meeting was in the interest of the Library Fund. Mr. Carnegie has given $12,000 for a colored library, and the city has promised to appropriate $1,200 per year towards its maintenance if the colored citizens buy the lot and furnish it $3,000. The colored population is enthusiastic over the prospects. Miss Wimberly was a great singer, also Madame Des Verney as an elocationist. Black Patti has nothing on these two Georgia women. They have agreed to come to Columbia in September and sing for me in my auditorium. We will also have the Sayannah quartette, the best I ever heard. Savannah boasts two colored banks and numbers of real estate dealers. RICHARD CARROLL To the Colored Knights of Pythias of Georgia: We the undersigned, speaking the sentiments of the lodges of the city of Albany and Sir Knights of south west Georgia, do hereby offer Rev. W. F. Satterwhite, our fellow townsmen and eminent coworker in Pythianism, for the position of Grand Lecturer K. of P., jurisdiction of Ga., to be elected at the forth coming Grand Lodge at Columbus, Ga. Rev. Satterwhite, as is well known, is a most profound thinker, an able orator and thoroughly versed in the ritualistic work of the order and will actively fill the position with credit to himself and the order in Georgia. Having been a faithful and active member of the order the past 17 consecutive years, we know that we will make no mistake in electing him to this position. This is the first time that he has ever allowed his name to be offered for position. We ask the support of the brotherhood. Yours in F. C. B., W. H. Dempsey, Geo. Ford, R. W. Watkins, Ed. Daniels, J. H. Watson, W. H. Phipps, H. H. Holder. SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, JULY 6, 1912 Woodrow Wilson Nomination THOMAS MARSHALL NAMED FOR VICE-PRESIDENT Forty-Sixth Ballot gives Wilson Nomination. Landslide On Last Ballot. One of the Most Stubborn Conventions on Record. After one of the longest and most stubborn contests in the history of the country the Democratic National Convention which met in Baltimore nominated Woodrow Wilson, Governor of New Jersey, for the presidency of the United States on Tuesday afternoon. It required forty-six ballots before the successful candidate received a sufficient number of votes to win the nomination, this being finally accomplished by the withdrawal of the names of the other candidates, their adherents falling in line and casting their votes for Wilson. The fight for the nomination started off with a battle royal between Speaker Clark and Gov. Wilson, the former polling the greater number of votes during the the first ballots of the convention, but as the contest waged on it was apparent that the latter was gaining in strength. It was not, however, until the forty-fifth ballot that victory was assured Wilson for at the end of that ballot he needed only 93 votes to secure the required two-thirds vote for the nomination. The next ballot, which was the last taken by the convention for the selection of its choice for the presidency, gave him 990 votes many more than enough for the nomination. The other candidates for the nomination were Underwood of Alabama, Foss of Massachusetts, Harmon of Ohio, Kern of Indiana Marshall of Indiana and Bryan. Governor Marshall of Indiana was nominated for Vice-President. He was opposed by Governor John E. Burke, of North. Dakota who made a fight. for the place but shortly withdrew and Marshall was proclaimed the nominee by acclamation. Over Home News-Beaufort, S. C. A certain gentleman of Savannah came over on last Monday for a little rest, in fact the health of this gentleman has been very poor for some time. No sooner had he struck Bay street he was "wise" and left Beaufort feeling better than he had been for weeks. Nothing helps a fellow like getting away from home sometimes. The salt air is fine in Beaufort. Mr. Samuel Bryan, our popular Post Office clerk and Miss Mamie James will be married Wednesday, July 10th. Mrs. Ella P. Ray of Augusta, Ga. has returned home after spending two weeks in Beaufort. Mrs. Proctor Glover has returned home after a very pleasant stay with her sister, Mrs. Thompson, at Jacksonville, Fla. The Cubs made rings around the Imperials of Savannah last Monday in a four inning game. The Cubs didn't let the visitors touch first base, with the results: Cubs 11, Imperials 0. Mr. Robert Robinson, of this city, died at Douglass, Ga. Sunday before last. His remains were brought to Beaufort for interment the following Wednesday. His death was brought on from a fall while engaged at work on a three story brick building at Douglass, Ga. He leaves a wife and son. Much interest is being shown in Beaufort over the coming of the Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows which meets in Beaufort the second week in August. The Beaufort Cubs seem to be making a record for themselves. This week Aiken, S. C., came for three games. The week following Columbia, S. C., comes with that famous Rail Road Bill team for three games. In an interview with the manager the other day he said that he would like to get the Georgia State team for three games. Mrs. Marie Reed Bowman has returned to Beaufort after visiting her sister at Pittsburg, Pa. Tribune Great Throngs Observ. "Fourth" of July PARKS CROWDED WITH AMUSEMENT SEEKERS Few Accidents of Serious Nature—Many Strangers Among Crowd—A Duy of Mirth and Merriment—Nearest Attempt at Sane Fourth. The Fourth of July, as usual, was very widely observed throughout the city and at the various amusement parks on the outskirts of town. All during the day great crowds of persons promenaded the principal thoroughfares of the city taking in the accustomed sights that are to be seen when so many persons flock on the streets. The observance of the holiday in the city was general, all the public buildings and most of the retail and wholesale houses being closed practically all day, while a few of the business houses which opened for awhile in the morning suspended business at noon in order to give their employees an opportunity to celebrate the holiday. The confectioneries and ice cream gardens were packed from morning till late at night and did a land office business, while their employees greeted the long awaited closing hour with a sigh of relief and a hope that the next "fourth" would find them otherwise engaged. For the thousands who were offered opportunity for recreation and cared to get away from the humdrum scenes of city life the various amusement parks of the city presented quite an inducement and the crowds which took advantage of the opportunity to visit them were record breakers. Lincoln Park with its varied forms of amusements drew probably the largest crowd, while Woodlawn ran a close second, with the other parks each getting its due share of the pleasure seekers of the day. The roads leading to the parks were virtually alive with outing parties traveling in every conceivable kind of vehicle, from the antiquated ox cart to the latest model automobile. Especially did the roads present an animated appearance between the hours of 3 and 6 o'clock in the afternoon when it seemed that all the available conveyances in the city were pressed in service carrying the people for a spin on the roads. Considering the wide observance which the day was given, the small number of accidents, none of them of a very serious nature, which occurred was most remarkable and demonstrates the affectiveness with which the "sane fourth" has been agitated. It had been expected that the agitation for a proper observance of the day would have its effect upon the community, but even the most ganguine had to admit that the result far surpassed their expectations. The small boy who thinks of the fourth in very nearly the same breath with Christmas seemed to catch the spirit of the new fourth and did not burn up his pennies in fireworks quite as recklessly as in past years. Better natured crowds than those which passed one another on the streets and also those which gathered at the parks have scarcely been seen in our city. On the whole, everybody was apparently out for a general good time and seemed to be impregnated with a spirit of mirth and merriment. Quite a deal of interest was manifested by hundreds of men and boys, and women too, in the telegraphic reports of the Johnson-Flynn prize fight in New Mexico which were given at the Pekin Theatre and Air Dome. Cheer after cheer was given by the audience as the detailed accounts of the battle were given to them and in some respects the demonstration resembled that given two years ago when the Johnson-Jeffries fight took place. The strangers who were in town to spend the day were very numerous and they were to be found at all the parks enjoying the many pleasures of the day and adding to its success JACK JOHNSON RETAINS WORLD'S CHAMPIONSHIP. Jack Johnson was declared winner in his 45 round light with Jim Flynn on the fourth of July at Las Vegas, New Mexico. The contest was brought to an abrupt close in the ninth round by the state police who took a hand in the affair when it was apparent that Flynn who had been repeatedly warned by the referee would not discontinue his foul tactics. Throughout the bout Johnson demonstrated that his adversary was a toy in his hands and at no time was he compelled to extend himself. He fought his usual careful battle and had his opponent at his mercy at every move. Time after time Flynn would find himself absolutely powerless to cope with the champion's masterly tactics and in order to extricate himself out of a close place would resort to butting. He was warned in every round by the referee to desist from using his head in this manner but continued to do so until the captain of the state police entered the ring and stopped the fight. During the entire contest Johnson was the complete master of the situation and after the referee had given his decision the crowd broke out in a terrific cheer for the champion. Republican President Appointed Democrat as Postmaster Over a Worthy Republican Despite the fact that President Taft promised to appoint Mr. Jos. F. Doyle, an old line Republican with ability and standing, as postmaster here, he failed to do so and instead sent in the name of Mr. Baker, a young Democrat and brother-in-law of Postmaster Blun. Several telegrams of protest were forwarded after the appointment was made known. Party men throughout the State protest against this appointment. Against Professional Men. The professional men of the city will compete against the business men in a baseball game at a near date at the baseball park and it is expected that the game will prove quite a drawing card. This is the first contest of the kind to be played around here since that memorable game some years ago in which the doctors pitted their skill, science and knowledge of the great American game against that of the professors. Those who were present at this contest still can vividly recall the many amusing incidents connected with it and the coming contest gives promise of surpassing the former in point of interest, fun and amusement. The game is to be played for the benefit of the Carnegie Library fund and there will be numbers who will lend their assistance to the cause by attending this contest who have but a slight interest in the national game, while there will be hundreds of others present who will expect to witness an exhibition of the fine points of the game which many of the ex-stars on the two teams used to display years ago. The affair will be one of the leading social events of the summer and each team will be spurred on by hundreds of staunch supporters who have utmost confidence in their ability to give a good account of themselves. The management of the business men's team is getting right down to business and has called a practice for the coming Tuesday afternoon at the baseball park when the members of the team will be chosen. All contestants who desire a place on the team are requested to be present at the practice Tuesday afternoon. The date for the contest has not yet been decided upon but this and other details will be announced in The Tribune next week. Dr. Middleton Arrived at Home Dr. Middleton Arrived at Home Dr. C. Clayton Middleton, arrived in the city on Tuesday night after graduating from the University of Michigan, an announcement of which we made a few weeks ago. Dr. Middleton has decided to practice here in his home city [and will be located at No. 505 East Charlton street. The doctor in a member of one of our oldest and most respected families. He was born and reared in this city, and was always held in high esteem by all who knew imh. The doctor deserves success and TheTribune predicts thesame for him. NUMBER 42 Wage Earners Buy Valuable Property BANK ACQUIRES NORTH-EAST CORNER WEST BROAD AND ALICE FOR $25,000. Property Has Frontage on West Broad of 105 Feet by 60—Splendid Site for Bank—Fine Record Made by Institution Since its Establishment For the consideration of $25.000 the Wage Earners Loan and Investment Company acquired possession last Monday of the property on the northeast corner of West Broad and Alice streets, and the site will become the home of the bank. The property has a frontage on West Broad street of one hundred and five feet and extends back on Alice a distance of sixty feet. It is one of the most desirable pieces of real estate on West Broad street and it is the concensus of opinion that it was purchased at a very reasonable figure. The deal by which the property was acquired had been pending of several months and was not consummated until the owner who was out of the city, returned home. The deal is considered one of the most important in which the Negroes of the city have figured for several years. The bank has no definite plans for using its purchase other than that it will in course of time move its business into the corner building. The present two-story building which occupies the newly acquired site extends half way the block on West Broad street, the ground floor being given over to stores, five in number, while the upper-floor is used as living quarters. It has been stated that the present structure will eventually be replaced by a handsome brick structure. The site is regarded as a splen did one, being but a block's distance from the Union Station and but one half a block away from the present location of the bank. The Wage Earners Loan and Investment Company is the pioneer Negro banking institution of the state and has made a remarkable record since its establishment twelve years ago. The institution began business in the year of 1900 with $102.00 and the present combined assets are about $200,000. Negro Year Book and Annual Encyclopedia. The Negro Year Book, which has just been published under the auspices of Tuskegee Institute, is the result of a systematic attempt to supply the growing demand from all parts of the United States and many portions of the Old World for accurate and concise information in regard to the history, progress and present status of the Negro Race. It is based to a large extent on the inquiries that have come to the Institution and have been turned over for reply to the department of research of which Monroe N. Work, the author of this work, is the head. Among the subjects treated in the work are: "A Review of the Negro in 1911;" "The Economic Progress of the Negro;" "The Negro in the Religious Field;" "Negro Education;" "Negro Soldiers and Heroes;" A Chronological History of the Negro in America.* It contains directories of Negro Banks, Negro Towns, Business Leagues, Hospitals, Newspapers, and National and Fraternal Organizations. There are also carefully classified lists of books and articles relating to the Negro. The Year Book, which is bound in paper, has 229 pages. The information is arranged in a concise, systematic form so as to make it easy of reference. The book is not published as a business venture although it may be so later, provided it finds a sufficient number of readers. In order to determine whether there is sufficient demand for the Year Book to warrant its continued publication in succeeding years a price of 25 cents has been placed upon it, postage 5 cents. A considerable reduction will be made to persons desiring ten copies or more. Address, Negro Year Book Company, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. CHINA IS SEEING STIRRING TIMES British Troops Leave Hongkong for Frontier. CANTON IS IN A FERMENT All Trains Delayed and Several of the Locomotives Tampered With. Secret Meetings to Organize Uprising. Honkong, China.—British troops have been dispatched from here to guard the frontier, where they will remain for an indefinite period. The city of Canton is in a ferment, and all trains coming from Canton to Hongkong have been delayed, owing to troubles on the railroad. Several of the locomotives have been tampered with. The leaders of the Manchu movement are known to be resident in the Portuguese dependency of Macao, and in the city of Hongkong. Quantities of money are coming into the Southern provinces, and arms and ammunition have been smuggled extensively into the province of Kwan-Tung, while secret meetings have been held to organize an uprising in Wu-Chow and Canton. The policy of the government officials is very unpopular. Executions are occurring daily. The mayor of the maritime town and treaty port of Pakhol, on the Gulf of Tonking, boasts that 5,000 people have been killed there alone. The authorities at Hongkong are keeping a watchful eye on the foreign settlement in Canton and on the British railway. Many Chinese are fleeing. Peking, China.—The loan negotiations between the international bankers and the Chinese government have been neither concluded nor broken off. The Chinese government apparently is endeavoring to make a bargain. A new proposal was recently submitted to the minister of finance, suggesting a loan much exceeding $300,000,000. The minister of finance requested the bankers to communicate their terms, which the bankers then drew up in accordance with original arrangements with Tang Shao Yi, which provided for foreign supervision of the salt tax and practically the appointment of the international bankers as financial agents for the Chinese government. Hsiung-Hsi-Ling, the finance minister, thereupon objected and declared that he would borrow only $50,000,000. The group of bankers allowed Hsiung-Hsi-Ling to see that there was no desire to force a big loan on China, and submitted to the headquarters of their banks the minister's proposal that five monthly advances, each of 6,000,000 taels ($4,200,000) should be made, which should be absorbable in the sterling loan. OVER 200 REBELS HANGED. Mexican General, in Report, Says it Was to Strike Terror. Mexico City.—Over 200 Zapatasta rebels were captured by federal troops after a battle near Hlutzilac and summarily hanged. Refugees arriving here from that bandit-infested region declared that the fringe of the forests lining the road for some distance in the vicinity of Hlutzilac was marked with bodies hanging from limbs of trees. The rebel leader garrendered after the battle. When the insurrectos had been disarmed they were taken to the edge of the forest and one after the other were hanged to the nearest tree. Young Man Leaves Country Rather Than Submit. Washington, N. J.—Rather than pay a $5 fine which he believed unjust, Frank Kinnaman, a young man of this town, is on his way to Europe. Kinnaman was one of sixteen youths who were arrested a few days ago for mischievous damage to private property. They were fined $5 each and given a week to pay the money. Kinnaman declared the fine was an outrage, and told friends he would leave the country rather than pay it. Two days later word was received that he had sailed for Europe. Crops and Cattle Destroyed. Albuquerque, N. M.—A cloudburst devastated an area approximately five square miles in extent. The Santa Fe railroad tracks were washed out at intervals for a mile or more, tying up indefinitely all train service, both East and West.

THE DECISION IS'ATTACHED Justice Wright, of the Supreme Court of the District, Says That Labor Leaders Have No De- Washington.—Justice Wright, of the District Supreme Court, Monday found Samuel Gompers, Frank Morrison and John Mitchell, of the-American Federation of Labor, in contempt of court for violating an injunction issued against the boycott in the Bucks Stove and Range Company case. Gompers was sentenced to twelve months in jail and Morrison to six months. Mitchell was not sentenced as he was not in court. Counsel for the defendants. Immediately noted an appeal to the District Court of Appeals and they were released in $,000 ball, each. "Guilty as charged," was the conclusion of Justice Wright's opinion. The decision was bitter in language and excoriated the three labor leaders. President Gompers and Secretary Morrison sat quietly under the denunciation, occasionally smiling faintly when the language was particularly scathing. Denounces Labor Men. Justice Wright in his opinion declared the American Federation of Labor "designedly suppressed the truth of the situation in its fight against the stove company." The "unfair list" and "the 'we don't patronize list' merely were synonyms of "boycott." he ruled. Taking up the question of the defiance of the respondents to the court's decree, Justice Wright stated they constituted themselves into a tribunal to defy the legality of the court's orders for the purpose of carrying out their own designs in the campaign in question. He cited the expression, "Go to — with your injunction" in one of Gompers' utterances to demonstrate the defiance of the labor leaders, and declares Gompers' "hostility to the court" and "revolutionary determination" was further emphasized by a speech he made at the James-town Exposition. Editorialists in the Federationist, he said, further carried out the design of the officials. These appeared in January and February, 1908. Quotes John Mitchell. Justice Wright also read excerpts from speeches and statements of Vice President Mitchell, wherein the latter expressed his attitude toward the court and injunctions, one statement being: "If a judge could enjoin me from exercising the right of free speech I should feel compelled to exercise my constitutional liberty." The labor men twice were tried. They were adjudged guilty on the first trial and Gompers was sentenced to a year, Mitchell nine months and Morrison six months in jail. The United States Supreme Court reversed the sentence on the plea that the proceedings had been improperly instituted. The District Supreme Court immediately set afoot contempt proceedings.

Of Interest to Our Women OUR IDEALS AND HOW TO KEEP THEM There is always a curious attraction about certain people whom we don't know. They have something aloof, detached, even distinguished in our eyes. We picture them the wittiest, most intelligent, most sympathetic of mortals. Possible they have all the charms and all the virtues. How can we know? We simply don't know them. One sometimes meets these fascinating strangers for years, brushing elbows with them on crowded staircases, seated next to them at the theater, admiring the same pictures at the galleries, yet we do not know them, and if we are wise we should cherish our illusions and never seek to break the barrier which keeps us apart. One wise young man steadfastly refuses to be introduced to a famous beauty lest he should lose all his illusions. He puts her on a pedestal (it might be mentioned that he admires her extravagantly), and absolutely refuses to let her descend from it. All his life he will admire her charming appearance—but meantime the lady goes by the board. It is a situation like that in Browning's "Statue and the Bust." But really the wise young man is right. If we truly admire and idealize those unknown people let us not break the precious silence or seek to cast down the barrier which makes them, the incarnation of the desirable and the unattainable. ALL MADE TO MATCH. In the great London and Parisian dressmaking establishments all the accessories of the toilet are supplied by the firm, so that the outfit may harmonize in every particular. The range is very large, and each item must pass the scrutiny and receive the approbation of the head of the firm before it is sent out to a customer. Gloves, shoes, handkerchiefs and holsey are supplied for each customer, and for the evening dress there is the appropriate scarf and colfure ornament. Each ornament for the dress, such as the clasp or buckle, and each one for the hair is individualistic. It cannot be found elsewhere, because it is the design of one of the artists specially engaged by the firm for the purpose of thinking out and making such decorative details. In one case shoulder plaques of blue tourquoise, painted by hand, with tiny pink roses, and surrounded with pearls and diamonds, are the finishing touch of an evening custume. And in another small diamond clasps for the scarf and smaller ones for the shoes are the work of a young man who spends his time searching through the archives of the past and evolving for present day use personal ornaments of all kinds. LATE FASHION NOTES. Lace will be prominent as a trimming for parasols this summer. All the latest designs of needlework are of an open character. Floral effects are not massed closely together. Jeweled hatpins are now being used. They are much smaller in size than formerly, and some are of the double type—two being connected by a short chain, and they are both worn at one side of the hat. The majority of the dressy waists are made with three-quarter sleeves, although some full length styles are noted. The latter are generally finished with a soft plaiting to fall over the hand. These models are made with some fullness at the elbow, tapering off to a snug finish at the waist. Lace top fringes are both new and attractive. Draped satin girdles are eked out with strips of lace. Low, round, square and V-shaped necks will be the mode. Such laces as Irish and filet are sometimes used together. Shades of tan and champagne are again in great favor. In the latest spring models the waist line is quite defined. Sash ends may be knotted or simply let fall, a la militaire. The Colonial shoe, with, its silver buckles, is again worn. Foulard and sole souple gowns show a lot of lingerie and lace. Set in sleeves of a modified kimono order are frequently seen. A lace band is used in the hair in place of the more common ribbon one. The short white kid gloves will be worn again with tailor-made and long sleeved frocks for afternoon wear. A most unusual and good looking cravat for wear with wash silk shirtwaists made in mannish styles is of black satin. There is a flat bow of the satin and one long end of the satin made double and widening out toward the bottom. This end is about eight inches long and is one and a half inches wide at the top and two and three-quarter inches wide at the bottom. Six round silver or gold buttons are placed at half-inch intervals at the lower end. On some of these ties a piece of rather heavy cream flet ice is folded flat around the satin end, about an inch and a half from the bottom, and the buttons are sewed in a row on the lace. Another black satin tie has a square bow laid in flat plaits and one long end of the double satin and a little ecru Valenciennes frilled on each side for about four inches of its length up from the lower end. The effect is very quiet. FASHION HINTS. Ruches worn at the neck are gaining popularity every day. They are worn to match every gown. Paul Pooret is showing some stunning hats, perfectly flat in shape, with flat, round crowns. New coat sleeves have fullness at the elbow and tightly fitted cuffs, cut in one with the vest. An exquisite combination is a gown of cream volle with a deep hem, girdle and cuffs of cerise satin. Brown and green are most harmoniously blended in a frock of green-shaded taffeta and brown chiffon. In no case must a costume be overtrimmed. We look now for the lines and fit, rather than the decoration. Shadow lace, either in white, cream or dyed to match the gown, is much used on the soft, shimmery taffetas. Eright-colored coatees in satin and taffeta will be worn over white lingerie frocks for outdoor entertainments. Cape collars of embroidered linen and lace, effectively combined are worn with many of the afternoon gowns. Paradise and fancy feathers, pheasants' tails, ostrich bands and French punes are all seen on the new hats. Medium-sized tailored hats are much in demand; they are trimmed with fancy feathers and wings. Bands of embroidered straw and mácrame lace figure on some of the models. The touch of black in tulle, chiffon, net or lace or narrow velvet ribbon or buttons is employed to give striking individuality. All-white handbags and parasols and beads, buckles and rings are entirely new. There is a great vogue for this snowy effect. The cutaway jacket is one of the features of the spring styles. In the last models it is shown with a scalloped edge bound in braid. BAGS AND PURSES. Pocketbooks for women seem to have gone entirely out of fashion. They are sometimes replaced by tiny coln purses, but the bag is the real successor. The striking feature of the new bags is their length. It is no longer difficult to imagine a bag a foot in length and not more than six inches wide, hanging from heavy silken cords nearly a foot and a half long. This is the latest model of bag; it is the last word among bags, but there are many other shapes almost as desirable and less pronounced. The round bags are extremely modish. Something altogether new is the flat bag, rather longer than wide, having square corners. The noticeable feature is the large flap which buttons down one side. One of the latest bags has seven compartments, and the systematic woman will find this quite to her taste. The card case is no longer carried in the hand when a woman starts out on her calling tour. It is carried in the inevitable bag with the long silken cords. SHOES TOO LOOSE. Two-thirds of modern foot troubles are due to the fact that almost every one—man, woman and child—wears his shoe too loose, remarks a writer in the Woman's Home Companion. The shoe itself may be correct as to size and shape, but it is not fastened tight at the only point of control, namely, the instep. When you set your foot upon the floor or pavement in the act of walking, the shoe adheres, and if it be loosely fastened over the instep the foot pushes down into the toe of the shoe. At certain spots on the foot this slipping causes friction. These spots are the soles of the feet; the tops, ends and inner sides of the toes; the great and little toe joints, and occasionally even the back of the heel. When the friction thus caused is continued hour, after hour and day after day, one or more of these spots is almost sure to become inflamed and sore. A slight thickening, called a "callus," is formed. As the friction and pressure go on the resulting callus may thicken up unevenly; then it is called a "corn." RENOVATING BATHROOM. Of the bathroom or bathrooms in her abode the modern house mistress makes quite a fad, choosing for them all the improvements and luxuries she can find. She is troubled by the smallness of the area at her command in some cases, and would gladly know how to achieve a sense of spaciousness, if that were possible. A small bathroom will display every inch to advantage by being treated in this way. Paint the baseboard and side walls a light gray up to the height of four feet, and finish by a wooden molding painted in the same color.

Lesson Text.—Mark 3:20-35. Commit vs. 28, 29. Time.—Mldsummer A. D. 28. Place.—Galilee. Exposition—I; Considered insane by friends, 20, 21. We see the eagerness of the multitude to hear our Lord, but it was not simply to hear him that the multitude came together (cf. vs. 9, 10; Luke 6:17). He was more than willing to have his rest and refreshment broken in upon in this way (cf. Mark 6:31-35). He was far more concerned about doing good to others than finding refreshment for himself (John 4:31, 34-36). When his best friends heard how he was taking time from rest and refreshment to minister to the needy multitude, they at once concluded that he had gone insane. If a man nowadays spends his strength and takes the time that other men would spend in eating and rest in ministering to the needs of perishing souls, people at once conclude that he is crazy. The failure to enter into the deeper motives of Jesus' life lay at the root of their grievous mistake. III. Misunderstood by His Nearest Kin, 31-35. Jesus' nearest relatives, including his mother, were frightened at the conflict between our Lord and the scribes. Their object in calling him at this time was to get him out of the danger from which they thought he was not wise enough to protect himself. It was an occasion of great grief to him that his own kin, and above all his mother, misunderstood him (Ps. 69:7, 8). The strange misunderstanding of his own kin caused him far more bitter grief than the terrific denunciation of his avowed enemies. And so today, the failure of his professed friends to understand him, causes him far more grief than the gross misrepresentations of his open enemies. He did not hesitate to very severely, but at the same time with wondrous gentleness, rebuke the interference of his officious relatives. He pointed out that his nearest kin and most loved ones, those who are at the same time brother and sister and mother to him, were those who did the will of God (cf. John 14: about Jesus Christ). What does the make us children of God, and so nearest kin to Christ, but it proves that we are already children of God and nearest kin to Christ. We become children of God by simply receiving Jesus (John 1:12, 13). Leading Questions.—What does this lesson teach about demons? About the devil? In what ways does the divinity of Christ come out in this lesson? What other lessons may we learn about Jesus Christ? What does the lesson teach us about the Virgin Mary? What is the central lesson taught as to our own duty? POETRY of and by Our People Sleep on! Sleep on! Comrades brave, In the bosom of Mother earth. There's a stone that marks the grave, That proves the soldier's worth. There's a flag that's gently waving, The flag for which you fought; And your records we are saving, That with your blood you bought. Above your mouldering form, A heavenly breeze is blowing. While for you our hearts are warm And words of praise are flowing. Your blood has enriched the soil. In which your form is decaying, Free from wars and its spoil. This tribute to you we are flowing. No more to see the glittering steel, Or hear the cannon's roar. The pain of death no more to feel, For your soldier's life is o'er. You fought and fell like soldiers brave, Upon the battle field You went down to a soldier's grave, While the cannon's loudly pealed. Ever up and always ready, To meet the coming foe, With a mind and hand so steady, Wherever sent, there to go. Yopegave your life with a free will, And your life's blood freely ran; All the way from Bunker Hill, Down to San Juan. Your records will be written above, While Bards shall vainly try. To tell of a nation's love, For those who bravely die. Now war and its misery is o'er Sleep on! Sleep on! Comrades brave, Until that mighty trumpet shall roar, And wake you from a soldier's grave. —A. R. Smith, THE LAND OF BEGINNING AGAIN. I wish that there were some wonderful place Called the Land of Beginning Again. Where all our mistakes and all our heartaches And all of our poor, selfish grief Could be dropped, like a shabby old coat, And never put on again. I wish we could come on it all unaware, Like the hunter who finds a lost trail. And I wish that the one whom our blindness had done The greatest injustice of all Could be at the gates, like an old friend that waits 4 For the comrade he's gladdest to hall. We would find all the things we intended to do, But forgot and remembered too late— Little praises unspoken, little promises broken And all of the thousand and one Little duties neglected that might have perfected The day for one less fortunate. It wouldn't be possible not to be kind In the Land of Beginning Again. And the ones we misjudged and the ones whom we grudged Their moments of victory here Would find in the grasp of our loving handclasp More than penitent lips could explain. For what had been hardest we'd know had been best. And what had seemed loss would be gain. For there isn't a sting that will not take wing When we've faced it and laughed it away. And I think that the laughter is most what we're after In the Land of Beginning Again. So I wish that there were some wonderful place Called the Land of Beginning Again, Where all our mistakes and all our heartaches And all of our poor, selfish grief Could be dropped, like a shabby old coat, at the door And never put on again. —Smart Set. STORM LIGHT. The thick battallons of the rain Tramp on the misty hillsides dimly, I see along the sullen plain Phantoms of nightfall gather grimly. But from the gateway of the west There comes a flood of gold outflowing. That lights the passing sea bird's breast And gilds the hilltops with its glowing. On rock and tree and grassy glade Flashes the swift, transfiguring brightness. While lingering rainbow fragments fade On leaden skies that clear to whiteness. Then comes the closing of the gate— The flame of glory falls to ashes. The far and near are desolate With clouds that wrap and rain that lashes. CLEAR THE WAY. Lo, a cloud's about to vanish From the day And a brazen wrong to crumble Into clay; Lo, the right's about to conquer! Clear the way! With the right shall many more Enter smiling at the door.

The steadfastness and courage of the Southern colored delegates at the national Republican Convention recently held in Chicago is at the present time the subject of more favorable comment by the press of the country than any other feature in connection with the great and history making gathering. Flanked on all sides by the leaders of the two wings of the Republican Party and importuned as never before, to remain firm on the one hand and to change faith on the other, the stalwart sons of the south, chose the better course and remained true to the trust reposed in them. For this grand and noble exhibition of faith fulness to duty and love of honor do we heartily join in the encon- Our boys could not be bought; they were beyond purchase; they were men of thought and conviction determined to stand by their pledges and do the right thing as they saw it. They thought for themselves and in so doing gave him or to the race. The time is not far distant when the goals of the Negroes unsteadiness and lack of principle in crises will cease. He has been tried time and again and each time he has emerged from the struggle with flying colors. It was during the revolutionary struggle when he remained steady and true to "this country" fighting side by side with his brother in white apparently unmindful of the fact that his brothers in black were being brought to this country at that very time by the ship-load to be sold in slavery. It was during the great internecine struggle between the States when he kept his promise to his master and remained loyal and faithful to his master's family when in so doing he was helping to perpetuate the institution of slavery. It was during the Spanish-American War when on the hills of San Juan and at El Caney he came to the rescue of Roosevelt and his rough riders and other white American soldiers, fighting for the country of his love, faithful to the trust reposed in him as a soldier of the great United States, conscious at the same time that in far off America, his native home, the boasted domicile of the brave and free, his brothers in blood were being denied their manhood rights in some instances and in others the victim of mob violence and prejudice. Really, can be it be said of a people who have thus acted, that they cannot be trusted and depended upon in times that call for that which is mainly in an individual. We are particularly gratified to see that Recorder Schwartz is determined to carry out his orders to break up the "black and tan" resorts of the city and we trust that the raids of last week will be followed by others if these places continue to be operated. We see in the continued operation of these houses a menace to the community which will work more harm than the average person may imagine. It was in just such places as these in one of our neighboring cities that a near riot was started several months ago when one of the white men who was visiting them was seriously injured by one of the inhabitants of the house and it was only by the most careful handling of the situation by the authorities that the matter was finally settled and the impending riot averted. Such a course of events is not at all without the range of possibility here and we are pleased to see that the authorities are determined to close these places up. And while they are bending their efforts at wiping out these ill-fame houses we should like to see them ferret out at the same time all of the white women of the underworld who have migrated from the "red light" district in the northeast section of the city to the peaceful communities west of West Broad street and south of Gwinnett which are inhabitated by respectable Negro families. The presence of these women has made the home surroundings of the above communities very obnoxious and very unsafe for the boys and girls growing up in these homes. Children can not become accustomed to such scenes as are usually enacted by these people without becoming callous to the hideousness of this form of criminality. The colony of these women on the west side is not decreasing but increasing to an alarming extent. Each week to a greater or less extent new places of this character are opening in these communities and it is no wonder that the respectable Negroes in the vicinity are becoming daily more alarmed and grieved over the situation. It is only fair and just that these humble people's protest should be given due consideration by the proper municipal authorities. What injures and lowers the Negroes' moral standard has its baneful effects upon the white race, for their children are entrusted largely to the rearing of the nurses and household servants who are drawn from these homes. And our Negro ministers should give more earnest attention to this matter now than they have in the past because of the serious proportions to, which it has grown. They should keep it before the parents at all times. They should discuss the subject before their ministerial unions and decide upon a course of action which will compel the authorities to recognize the gravity of the situation. It is indeed time for concerted action, prompt and decided action. Among the many present day craze among our people, none is more worthy of condemnation at this time than the one now rampant among us for gorgeous and unnecessarily expensive funeral displays. It is no uncommon sight to behold almost daily on the streets that are generally used for our funeral corteges, processions of unusual length weading their way to our burial grounds. Now while we do not wish to decry the desire of one to put away his loved ones in a decent and respectable way yet in his attempting so to do in keeping with the prevailing custom, there is a danger of extravagance that will do no one any good, but on the contrary, will work to the harm of many. We believe that it is the duty of each person to provide all the necessary comforts that he can for his sick ones. We believe that in case of the death of a loved one, the love and esteem in which he was held should be attested by a decent and respectable funeral, the arrangement of which however should not be based upon the custom of the times but should be in keeping with the financial status of the survivors. We believe that the cause of this great desire among us for expensive funerals displays is due to the fact that there is growing among us a class of people who might be termed professional mourners or funeral attendants. These people seem to think that only a passing acquaintance with the deceased or his surviving relatives is necessary to warrant them a seat in one of the family carriages. As a consequence in order that there may be no after feeling with any one, the surviving family uses practically all of the money that may come from the societies and insurances with which the deceased was connected in supplying carriages and other conveyances for the friends of the family, to the neglect of the family doctor and other creditors brought about by the prolonged sickness of the deceased. As a result debts become of long standing and thus the survivors lose their credit in many instances. Now in our devotion to the sick and in caring for the dead, we can proudly say that we yield to no one in the warmness of our heart yet we feel that in the death of a friend sufficiently close to warrant our presence not only at the church or home at which the funeral services begin, but at the cemetery as well we should be sufficiently faithful to his memory and generous to our consciences as to provide our own conveyances to the burial ground and thus not to burden the relatives with unnecessary or extra expenses. At best, we are still a poor people financially. Our secret and benevolent societies and insurances, generous as they are in their sick and death benefits, fail as a rule to cover debts that are accumulated by a long siege of sickness. The money accruing from these societies and insurances therefore should not be used to provide carriages and other conveniences for "friends of the family" who are able and ought to provide these things for themselves, but aside from that amount that is used to provide for the comfort and convenience of the immediate family, the remainder should be used in defraying at least in part the expenses entailed by the sickness and death of the deceased. Far better can we and do we hollow the memory of our dear ones by paying promptly the necessary debts brought on by their sickness and subsequent deaths, than by contracting unnecessary debts that cause unusual delay in their liquidation. We trust that our people will give this matter their serious consideration. Second Baptist Church. There was a large attendance at the morning services on Sunday last. The pastor Rev. D. Augustine Reid preached a very powerful sermon from the text 1, Peter 4:18. At night the Children Day exercises took place. Attend your weekly services. F. B. B. Church. Sunday was Children's Day at our church and they played well their part in number and appearance. In the absence of Rev. Daniel Wright, the exercises were conducted by Rev. Charlie Wright. His subject "Be temperate in all things," was well illustrated and many home lessons were drawn. The school sang "Yield not to Temptation" At night the pastor read for the lesson, St. John 17:1-23. His text was from Rom. 8:17. The subject was "Suffering and glorification." The lessons taught by the examples of those who have suffered and the reward that we may expect are sure if we are lathful to the trust. The choir sang "Tis burning in my soul." Rev. Wright led the hymn "Amazing Sight the Savior stands." A large number came to the mercy seat for prayer which was offered. Attend our services at any time, you are always welcome. Announcement.

They are W. R Conners, Principal of the Gay street public school; Paul Brock, of Baltimore, who has been made Principal of a large school at 16th and Lombard streets, Philadelphia, and Hugh Brown, Principal of the Industrial School for Colored Youth at Cheyney. Letters to this effect have been written them by Governor John K. Tenor. The celebration takes place at the National Congress of Negro Educators in Washington, D. 'C., September 24th. The above was clipped from a Pennsylvania paper. The first name appointed is well known by many of our citizens, having lived here. He is the brother of Mrs. Jas. M. Ferrebee. In these days of high cost of living, a medicine that gets a man up, out of bed and able to work in a few days is a safe and valuable remedy.

Soon after I commenced using Foley Kidney Pills and was relieved at once." His example is worth following. Foley Kidney Pills will do for others just as much as they have done for John Heath.

This is an age of luxury. Those who have read a recent book on "The Idle Rich" will need no proof of the proposition so far as it concerns members of the wealthy class. But we need to guard against a too-common mistake. Immoral luxury is by no means confined to the very rich. The largest single expenditure in this country, an annual budget of seventeen hundred millions of dollars (more than we pay for bread, for education, or national defense), is spent on alcoholic beverages; and three-fourths of this sum comes from those who are comparatively poor. The laborer who spends twenty cents daily for beer is, from the standpoint of family duty and responsibility, as guilty as the idle rich. So, for that matter, is a thousand-dollar clerk who spends $50 a year on cigars and tobacco. Nor must it be forgotten that there is luxury and luxury. There is a luxury that is social rather than selfish, which helps to make life brighter and cheerier and therefore better—a luxury which has its charter in the finely balanced saying of St. Paul about the God "who giveth us richly al things to enjoy." But while this is true and the Christian spirit may exist in the midst of a life of ease, the danger is that it will not. Christ knew the human heart, and in spite of our pitiful efforts to explain away his saying he meant something when he told his disciples that it was easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Nor is our modern problem merely a matter of luxury; it is in many circles outside the realm of great wealth, a question of softness of living. There is among us a marked decay of virile hardness. We love ease; we shrink from self-denial. And here, again, it is a situation that runs parallel with no special social class. Take the life of the ordinary, every-day family. As a nation our attitude toward the child is dangerously indulgent. Mothers innumerable are slaving over work at which their daughters should be, but are not learning to help. Fathers innumerable are so anxious to have their boys "rise in the world" that we find a hundred poor clerks for one vacancy, while the manual trades are held more and more in contempt. The result is a coming generation with wrong social standards, with little respect for discipline and duty and with no education for the inevitable pains of life. A generation not used to hardness of any sort will lack the moral sturdiness and the rugged moral discipline that makes a happy family life possible. What, then, is the gospel for this age of ease? First—It is a gospel of work. The teaching of Christ is exemplified in his life. With all the world to choose from, how striking that he selects his place at a carpenter's shop and identifies himself with the plain people! Jesus Christ's life is the glorification of work. Labor must be the law of every life if we are to be followers of such a Master. They who tread the path of labor follow where Christ's feet have trod; They who work without complaining do the holy will of God. Where the weary toll together, there am I among my own. Where the tired workman sleepeth, there am I with him alone. This is the gospel of labor—ring it, ye bells of the kirk— The Lord of love came down from above to live with the men who work. If this be true, no life can be innocent that is spent in selfish idleness. Every idler, whether he be rich or poor, is really living on the gifts of some one else. The pauperism of the idle rich differs in nothing from that of the tramp save in his clothing and his uncertain abiding place. Not to be obliged to work is therefore far from being a blessing. Work of some sort everyone must do; and from the leisure class the Gospel demands as a right work for the community. Their very leisure lays upon them a duty to others. Their exemption from manual toil is the voice of God ringing a "noblesse oblige" in their ears. Theirs is a quickened call to social service. Only in such service can their luxury be prevented from becoming immoral and debasing. This is the lesson the children of today must be taught if they are to be the right men of tomorrow: (1) That all work is sacred, because work is forever radiant with gospel light, since Christ came to labor; (2) that those who are not obliged to work for self are, by a more pressing necessity, called upon to work for others. Second—Ours is a gospel of the simple life. We need to show the world world that "a man's life consistseth not in the things which he possesseth." Simplicity of living does not, of course, imply meanness of living. What it does imply is that we must beware of living "in the senses;" such living, just because it makes life weak and flabby, soon passes into sensual living. What it also implies is that those whose hands need not toil must see that their minds are at labor. It not endowed with extraordinary men tal gifts, at least they have opportunity for the highest cultivation of the gifts that are theirs. They owe it to the world, too, to show that elegance and refinement may be combined with the enjoyment of the higher things. Third—Ours is a gospel of sacrifice. Christ's own sacrifice stands over against us as a challenge and appeal. "Though he were rich, yet for our sakes he became poor." Christ stands over against the wills and hearts of men, inviting and attracting to sacrifice, demanding and claiming sacrifice, welcoming sacrifice when it is offered. I believe the gospel has failed to a certain extent in our day, just because it has not been preached strongly on this side. We have made religion easy instead of heroe. The world still at heart loves the heroic, and will always respond to its call. Let a gospel of sacrifice—heroe sacrifice—be preached more widely, and even an ease-loving age will respond to its message. Men will still do hard things if they have been made to see them as a vision splendid. Fourth.—Ours is a gospel of brotherhood. Not that Christianity first gave the idea of brotherhood to the world—the Roman Terence won a storm of applause in the theater by a line in one of his plays which said the same thing. But Christianity took the idea and set it at work. Our social service must be brotherly service. It asks not "Am I my brother's keeper?" Many a man or woman of leisure has literally found a new birth, with possibilities of happiness hitherto undreamed, in the effort to give that question an affirmative answer Finally—Ours is the gospel of the other world. If people are to live simply and to work unselfishly for the good of others, it must be for a better reason than that this is the wisest and noblest thing for the life that now is. That thought may help, but it will not inspire. The supreme and moving force can be found only in the life that is to come. To make life here a better and happier thing becomes a noble aim, inspiring to high service only when the conviction is firm that life here is an entrance into life hereafter. Yes, there is luxury and luxury, ease that makes us forget God, and ease that makes us only more conscious of heavenly blessings that are to be. THE WORD MELODRAMA ORIGINALLY MEANT A PLAY IN WHICH MUSIC WAS INTRODUCED. Nowadays "melodrama" is in general use as denoting a purely, sensational play, with an all but impossible hero, heroine and villain among the characters represented. Formerly the word kept more closely in its signification to actual derivation. "Melodrama" is compounded of the Greek words melos, a song, and drama, an action, a play, and was applied, to two sorts of performances when it first came into use. It signified a play, generally of the romantic school, in which the dialogue was frequently relieved by music, sometimes of an incidental and sometimes of a purely dramatic character. On the strength of his "Pygmalion" J. J. Rousseau is credited with the invention of this style. Some of the so-called English operas of the older school, such as the once famous "Ileggar's Opera" and the once popular "No Song, No Supper," are in reality true melodramas. In the second place "melodram" was applied to a peculiar kind of theatrical composition in which the actor recited his part in an ordinary speaking voice, while the orchestra played a more or less elaborate accompaniment appropriate to the situation and calculated to bring its salient features into the highest possible relief. The merit of the invention of this description of melodrama belongs to George Benda, who used it with striking effect in his "Arladne auf Naxos," produced at Gotha in 1774.—London Globe. BUTTERFLY EFFECTS. There is at present a craze for butterfly effects. The design flutters on parasol tops, on smart vellings, and is worked in wonderful iridescent effects on the new trimmings. The winged favorite is used also as shoe buckles, brooches, coiffure ornaments and beautiful designs are seen in enamels and small diamonds. Black satin and velvet butterfly bows edged with brilliants or colored stones are lovely. The material is slipped into a frame, and thus any color can be added to the diamond's rimmed bow. VALUE IN STRAW STACKS. Many farm leases this year contain a new and wise provision stipulating that straw must either be converted into manure on the premises or its equivalent in manure returned by those carrying it away. City dealers who have gone to the country recently to contract straw have met with flat refusals. Where straw has been sold to neighbors the return of manure has been demanded. The average farm owner, even when a non-resident, is learning that soil depletion is poor policy.—Field and Farm. NO RELIEF IN DEATH. The Countess—This book says that in India it is the custom to bury the living wife with her dead husband. Isn't it terrible? The Earl—Indeed it is! The poor husband! Even death brings him no release." COMMON INTEREST BETWEEN NEGROES There seems to be no serious thought or effort on the part of negroes anticipatory to the commercial, industrial, and political revolution logically subsequent to the opening of the Panama canal and as to its effect upon negroes. The commercial aspect deserves profound consideration; no less does the industrial and political. The tendency will be to draw into closer relation all the countries of continental America and incidentally the whole world, by intensifying the interests of the nations to facilitate exchange with each other and to develop standards that will better serve industrial and commercial relations. By reason of its proximity the south will take on newer life. If the vastness of its resources must be explored and developed, the capitalists will seize the situation with energy, alertness and tenacity. Against the exacting and tenacious capitalists labor must be protected. We still hear more of the replication that unions are indispensable; that they cannot exist without franchise; that it is unsafe to admit any laborers to unions without franchise and especially without ambition to secure franchise at all hazards. What answer will American negroes make to the question that they are without social efficiency to withstand the sacrifice that franchise and unionism demand? The Panama canal will make a new south. Who is not willing to admit the possibility of a new south becoming a north, a Yankee land? For an instance, we are familiar with white competition driving the negro waiter to the wall. Foreigners and native born are hardfast in the clutches of the high cost of living and must seek and dignify any and every avenue of employment. Even the native white woman is competing with the negro woman for the scrub brush. If the waiters' condition is without remedy, will not this soon apply to other avenues? There seems to be no public sentiment to quicken in his favor, either as to reforming hotel or as to demanding better "tips." This is also a phase emanating from a dwindling political status affecting the industrial outlooks. This political status as appertaining to the negroes of continental America and its islands will be revolutionized. Negroes of the United States, in Hayti, San Domingo, Cuba, Brazil and Central America are to be equalized by the ugly hand of the arrogant Caucasian. Will this be done to the white man's taste or will nature foll him and suit it to the taste of the negro? Here are twenty-five million negroes inhabiting countries whose climate more or less is fashioned after the climate of their origin, whose land abounds in wealth, and where in some instances rights are equal and the means by which to defend them are equal. Prejudice follows the American flag. The white man is growing the same everywhere, like causes produce like effects, what he has not done we may expect him to attempt at any time. It becomes a matter of common interest to all these negroes that justice shall prevail. The Panama canal will approximate them as if they were of states of the same union. Where is the negro leader of construction statesmanship to marshal and apply the means by which to bring about a better understanding and substantial helpfulness? This is the negro's prerogative. It is urgent to cast his future into the proper mold. The crisis is Impending, shall Haiti retain her sovereignty, shall other island neighbors and adjacent countries retain equal rights and the means by which to defend them and shall the reaction be the political emancipation of American negroes? I do not doubt the negroes of these islands. They cannot endure serdom: To them it would be more bitter than death. If the test is applied will they not only successfully defend themselves, but create a reaction that will produce the political emancipation of negroes? There has never been an instance where any country, however large, has conquered a negro country, however small. When Alexander was in quest of kingdoms, had laid Egypt at his feet, he fell against Abyssinia, was utterly repulsed and had to retreat. England threw her giant strength against her, was defeated and had to withdraw. Italy fell against her, with 45,000 soldiers, and in the decisive battle that followed lost 33,000 soldiers and officers, killed and wounded, 20,000 arms, 200 field pieces and paid two million dollars' indemnity. L'Overture and Desalissles whipped England, France and Spain to a "frazzle." Here a half million black men whipped half of Europe. Cuban negroes fought Spain thirty years and won with the assistance of the 24th and 25th infantries and the 9th and 10th cavalries of the United States. They are now fighting for industrial and political emancipation. Will they produce another Maceo and win? American negroes will be affected eventually by political changes to the south of us. External forces once at work are sometimes powerful in events shaping other countries. When it became imminent that the revolt of San Domingo negroes against their masters would be successful, England sald to the United States, "Let us abolish this importation of slavery." The queen-elect of England said: "I will not ascend the throne of England till slavery is abolished in Jamaica and Brazil." Napoleon in the height of his glory exclaimed, "If a handful of negroes in San Domingo can destroy 50,000 of my best soldiers, I could not hold Louisiana in case of war. I will sell at once." Haiti sent arms and printing press to Argentina which preciplated freedom there. Let the American negroes lend Cuban negroes their moral support; let the hearts of the 25,000 million negroes of this section of the world beat as one. If their opportunities are lost in the impending crisis, what of the race?—J. Arthur Davis in New York Age. AFRO-AMERICANS IN HIGH SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES STUDENTS FROM MANY STATES INCLUDED IN HIGH RECORD LIST. Afro-Americans have shown brilliant records as students in the various high schools, academies and colleges during the past year, as may be seen from the following report: Miss Edith Palmer of Philadelphia won the free scholarship prize to Cornell university. Edward Withrop Robinson was awarded a scholarship at Amherst college. Bessie Ganner was valedictorian of her class in the Hillburn (N. Y.) high school. She finished a four-year course in three years. Marion Reed of the Brighton high school was the best student to be graduated from a secondary school in Boston. She was valedictorian of her class and received a $100 scholarship to Slimmons college. The fly fighting committee of the American Civic Association of New York city offered a prize of $10 for the best essay on the housefly as a carrier of disease Willie Henderson, a thirteen-year-old colored girl, won the prize. Ethel Davis of Boston in a competitive examination against 1,400 other pupils won a scholarship of $500 per year in Wellesley college. George W. A. Scott won the second prize in the Curtis medal contest at Columbia university in 1910 and first prize in 1911. James B. Clark, a junior negro student at Cornell university, was awarded the prix d'honneur in the annual competition in French essay writing and translation, held under the auspices of the Society of French Professors of America. Charles Henry Crippen of New York in a competitive examination won the state scholarship in Cornell university. Dorothy C. Guinon of New Bedford, Mass., won a $200 scholarship at Radcliffe college. Thomas S. Lowry, a graduate of the medical department of Howard university, stood highest in the Florida state medical examination. P. E. Robinson of Durham, N. C., graduated with the highest honors from the Northwestern University Dental School of Chicago. He was appointed demonstrator in clinics, the first time a colored man has ever held such a position. L. Aldridge Lewis of Nashville out of 15 competitors received the highest grade, 92%, for internship at the City hospital and City dispensary in Indianapolis, Ind. James B. Murphy in a recent test-at the St. Paul (Minn.) postoffice made an average of 99.75 per cent., the highest general average ever established by a government employe in the northwest. Odds and Ends At last the little door is open. And, so where freedom leads he goes, Looks to the prison door again. But knows that slavery is of the past. Discretion isn't a quality that gets high praise. Even the flavor of forbidden sweets turns to ashes. The first flowers of summer are the kind men find steep.

The glided youth shows scratches pretty quickly. HOW MEREDITH NICHOLSON EXERCISES. They were talking about the value of regular, physical exercise, and one of the group, noticing that Meredith Nicholson, the author, seemed pretty fit, asked him what he did to keep in condition. "Who, me?" he exclaimed. "Why, I don't need any callisthenics or things of that sort. I live in a house on the sunset side of the street, and I get all the exercise my system needs in building the fire every morning." "That doesn't seem to offer much chance for exercise," remarked a friend. "What kind of a fire is it you build, wood or coal?" "Neither," replied Nicholson. "We use gas, and I have to scratch a match every time I light it." REMARKABLY RAPID RISE OF AN AFRO-AMERICAN WHO HAD AMBITION AND BRAINS. Washington.—A few years ago Woolsey W. Hall, an Afro-American was a laborer working for $548 a year in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, but now, he is a stenographer in the division of printing and stationery, at an annual salary of $1,400. The story of the rise of this young man is interesting. Hall was born in Washington and educated in the public schools of the city. When he had completed his course in the high school, instead of accepting a place as a teacher, he decided to enter the government service, begin at the bottom and work his way to the top. He went into the bureau of engraving and printing as a laborer at $548 per year. He toiled hard during the day, but studied stenography at night and soon become proficient. In the winter of 1905, Hon. J. Milton Turner, of Missouri, was before congress fighting for the interests of the freedom of the Choctaw and Chickasaw Indian tribes, and the bull of the testimony and evidence necessary to be presented to the committee of congress being too voluminous of his regular stenographer he employed Hall after department hours. Mr. Turner's sponsor in congress was Hon. Richard Bartholdt, of St. Louis, the then chairman of the house committee on public buildings and grounds, and the clerk of this committee at that time, Mr. Edward E. Miller, mentioned to Mr. Turner that he was overrun with work and would like to secure the services of a stenographer until the rush was over. Mr. Turner inquired if the stenographer's color or race was a consideration. Mr. Miller replied that the only qualification required by Congressmen Bartholdt, Rodenburg and himself was proficiency. Turner then took Hall to the capital and introduced him to Congressmen Rodenberg and Bartholdt, and from that hour fortune has seemed to smile on his pathway, for Congressman Rodenberg interested himself in Hall, worked with him over confidential legislative and personal correspondence, thus giving young Hall the best and most practical stenographic education it is possible to receive, and as a climax to this work, in 1908, when Mr. Miller found the work of handling the omnibus public buildings bill of the 60th congress to require more stenographic help and asked that some arrangement be made to detail Hall to the committee, Congressman Rodenberg prevailed upon Chairman Bartholdt to request the house to appropriate for an assistant clerk to the committee and when the place was created, had Hall appointed. When Hon. Franklin MacVeagh become secretary of the treasury in 1909, Hall had reached the grade of messenger in the office of an assistant secretary of the treasury at $1,000 per annum. Mr. Rodenberg told Hall that a young man who was qualified by experience and competitive examination for a clerical place should not be retarded in life and kept a messenger, even at $1,000 a year, and without solicitation on Hall's part, Congressman Rodenberg of Illinois, whose interest in the race is well known, called upon Secretary MacVeagh and after a short consultation received a promise that Hall would be given an opportunity. He was at once transferred to one of the divisions of the secretary's office, as a clerk, at $300 (the regular entrance salary), and shortly thereafter he was promoted to $1,200, skipping the $1,000 grade. He has again been promoted by Secretary MacVeagh, to $1,400 per annum. Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh is known as the "Square Deal Secretary" and he well deserves the title, because the employees in his department get a square deal. When the secretary "discovers" a young colored man who has made good he does not hesitate in giving him a promotion. There are 1,400 Afro-Americans in the treasury department and their annual salaries aggregate more than $1,000,000. WOULD NOT SAVE HIS HEROINE. Balfour's toast of the "literature in particular which serves the great cause of cheering us all up," reminds one how an artist was once tempted to give the heroine health and happiness. "Clarissa Harlowe" ran its course in volumes issued periodically, and at the end of the sixth Clarissa was left dying. This so affected a misguided enthusiasm that he at once offered Richardson $5,000 if in the next volume he would restore her to health. Richardson refused. Literature has its heroes—London Chronicle. THE RIVER NILE. These are some of the pupils' answers to examination problems in Butte, Mont.: The countries benefited by the overflow of the Nile are Europe, Asia, Australia and America, because they are not there to be drowned. The source of the Nile river is its main strength. Example—A boy paid $8.25 for a wagon and sold it for $7.75. Did he gain or lose, and how much. Answer—He gained on the cents and lost on the dollars.—Kansas City Star. THIRTY-FIVE GRADUATES AWARDED DIPLOMAS—NEW CARNEGIE LIBRARY DEDICATED—REV. C. A. WARD ELECTED PRESIDENT OF INSTITUTION. Charlotte, N. C.—The commencement exercises of Biddle university came to an end with the awarding of diplomas to thirty-five graduates of the normal, preparatory and theological departments. There were no graduates from the college of arts and sciences, a year having been added to the course. The honorary degree of doctor of divinity was conferred upon the Rev. Dr. W. Wedward Williams, pastor of Grace Presbyterian church, Baltimore, who preached the annual sermon to the Y. M. C. A. of the university, and who also presented the diplomas to the graduates; the Rev. W. E. Carr of Danville, Va., and the Rev. B. F. Murray of Cleveland, N. C. Following the conferring of the diplomas, the new $24,000 Carnegie Library building was dedicated. President H. L. McCrorey announced that he had succeeded in raising $6,000, and that the same would be used in installing an electric light and power plant during the summer. Music was furnished by the Biddle University quintet under the direction of Thomas A. Long, Ph. D. On the morning of the commencement day addressers were delivered by A. P. Corley, C. B. Dusenbury, R. O. Langford, H. W. McNair and D. E. Thompson, who were among the graduates from the theological department. Eugene W. Dennis won the gold medal in the junior prize orator contest. I. D. Davis won the five-dollar gold piece prize in the senior normal and preparatory contest. At the annual meeting of the alumni the Rev. A. C. Ward was elected president, the Rev. P. G. Drayron secretary, and Prof. J. D. Martin treasurer. The Rev. J. A. Tillman of Lancaster, S. C., delivered the annual alumni address. The visitors and alumni attended the commencement of Scotia seminary, at Concord, last Wednesday. Biddle university is maintained by the Presbyterian church. It has 100 acres of land. 14 buildings valued at $200,000. There are 13 professors, besides instructors in the academic and industrial departments. FOURTEENTH ANNUAL MEETING OF THE NATIONAL MEDICAL ASSOCIATION, TUSKEGEE NORMAL AND INDUSTRIAL INSTITUTE, ALABAMA, AUGUST, 1912. The indications are that 'all roads will lead to Tuskegee institute in August this year. From several sections of the country advice comes to us to the effect that arrangements are being made for special parties. Clubs are forming, for the purpose of taking the best advantage of rates and convenience of travel. It is generally conceded that the coming meeting will be the best attended the association has ever witnessed. Arrangements are being perfected to comfortably and pleasantly care for all who come. Physicians, dentists, pharmacists, nurses and members of their families and friends are earnestly requested to attend. Features of interest to heads of schools, ministers, teachers and other representative leaders will be presented. They are cordially invited to come. Tuskegee institute is fast becoming a "convention city." We are accustomed to handling big crowds. From all parts of the world visitors come to Tuskegee to see what we are doing, and to study our educational methods. The international conference just closed brought representatives from some twenty different nations or their colonies. Do you believe we can interest you? Come and see. The campus with its beautiful flowers, shrubbery and shade trees, buildings, cherts roads and extensive fields of growing crops furnish a veritable panorama of beauty. Of special interest to members of the profession will be the scientific program, which will contain papers and addresses by some of the leading lights in medicine. The United States public health and marine hospital service will be represented. Dr. W. A. Warfield, the skillful surgeon-in-chief of Freedman's hospital, Washington, D. C., will deliver the oration on surgery. The pellagra commission is expected to present some startling original ideas with reference to the successful treatment of this baffling disease. The clinic committees are striving to present the most interesting series of clinics we have witnessed. RUN IN THE FAMILY. Seated on the front porch of a Woodland avenue home Thursday morning two little five-year-olds, dressed for Memorial day, admired each other's clothes. "My sister has three hats," said one. "My mamma has two diamond rings," the other observed. "My mamma has nearly seven pairs of gloves," the first girl ventured again. "I guess gloves must run in our family." The other little girl didn't speak for a moment, then she exclaimed, with a giggle: "That's funny, 'cause it's shoes that run in our family."—Youngstown (O.) Telegram The Farm SORE SHOULDERS. There is little excuse for any horses having sore shoulders. Carelessness and the use of ill-fitting collars are common causes. The horseman who is in sympathy with his horses will never allow one of the animals to have sore shoulders. There is no excuse for it. To preserve sound shoulders with horses and mules, good collars must be used. The collar must fit the shoulders snugly, neither tight nor loose about the neck. It must not work too far back on the shoulder. The cheap collar is dear at any price. One can not afford to sacrifice the shoulders of a good work animal for the difference in price between a good and poor collar. An old collar with a part of the filling out or lumpy must never be used. The place for it is in the compost heap. Never keep an old and worn-out collar with a view of using it again at some time. Have a new one on hand instead. During hot weather when the teams are working hard and sweating freely is the time when shoulder injury is most apt to occur Getting "hot under the collar" is as bad for horse as fern man When the shoulder is hot, wet and dirty, the skin becomes soft and easily abraded. A slight bruise or bare spot without prompt attention will soon become a large sore. During the season of heavy work, take time every morning to brush the horses' shoulders, even if time can not be taken to brush the animals all over. Remove dust and dirt from all the surface where the collar works. In like manner, rub clean the collar every morning before harnessing. Keep the padded side perfectly smooth and clean. Small pumps will collect on it every hot working day, and these lumps must be irritating and injurious to the animal. If the collars are cleansed in the evening when the teams are unharnessed, the dirt will come off more easily when it is moist and soft. Rubbing them with a large, coarse rag will clean them effectively. Some use sweat pads on their horses in hot weather, and these are good if they are of good material and kept clean. Yet it must be remembered that the extra pad about the horse's neck makes the animal hotter. It is better generally to use good leather collars without pads and to watch the shoulders carefully during hot weather with heavy work. The pad too often covers up a multitude of inattention, carelessness and poor material. During very hot days I always lift the collars from the shoulders of the horses for a few minutes at a time when they are resting in the field. This allows air to strike the shoulders for drying and cooling them. If the team is allowed to rest several times each half day and the collars adjusted for cooling and drying the shoulders, the horses are more comfortable and less apt to contract shoulder injury. Keeping the neck and shoulders dry and cool is the main thing. With young work animals and with all work animals during the busy season of heavy team work, it is an excellent plan to bathe the shoulders with hot water every noon and evening. Many use cold water for this purpose and certainly the use of cold water is better than no bathing at all, yet hot water is very much better. Hot water for both beast and man is one of the best-known medicines for extracting pain or soreness from sprained, bruised or inflamed flesh. Hot water draws out soreness as if by magic. Use large cloths for this purpose, saturating the cloth with hot water and placing it upon the shoulders around the neck of the animal. Allow it to remain in place for several seconds, when another hot cloth is applied. The horses will soon learn to like the treatment, and it will do them much good. Finish by wiping dry with a warm cloth. With this hot water, soda, salt, or alum may be used to advantage. Alum is especially good for toughening the skin, and this should be put in hot water for bathing shoulders of young work animals, whose skin, of necessity, must be tender. J. S. W. SORGHUM FOR FEED Last summer at the beginning of dry weather the writer planted about two acres of sorghum. The seed was drilled thickly in rows about three feet apart. Two light harrowings were given, and these were all the cultivation the plants received. The dry weather continued for many weeks after the young sorghum plants were up, yet they kept alive when the soil seemed perfectly void of moisture. When late summer and early fall rains finally came the sorghum began to grow so rapidly that it made a very thick and heavy crop several weeks before frost. Although standing very thickly in the rows, some of the stalks were large enough for dressing and taking to the mill for making sorghum syrup. However, feed being scarce, all of the crop was used for the live stock and dairy cows. It would be difficult to estimate the number of tons of green fodder this crop of sorghum made to the acre. A conservative estimate would be from ten to fifteen tons. We began to feed it to the horses and cows about the time the largest stalks began to head out. A few days later the largest stalks were picked out of each load hauled up and fed to the hogs. These animals chewed the stalks with great relish, rejecting the pommace, and they fattened and grew on it well. The hogs, cows, calves and horses were fed on this sorghum till the last of October, and several loads were cut and stored in the barn to be fed out after frost in a green state. About one-half of it was cut and made into small shocks in the field to cure for early winter feeding. This fodder was hauled to the barn after a few weeks' curing and fed out during November and December. It was placed in thin layers in bundles on top of the hay in the mow and none of it spilled, except in one place where it was piled deep with no circulating air to take up the moisture. A relative from Illinois was at our place when we were feeding this crop of sorghum, and he stated that a neighbor grew a crop of sorghum each year especially for hog feed, finding that hogs fattened on it well. The sorghum we planted last summer was in an old clover field. The plowing and planting were done after the crop of clover had been removed. Hence, two good crops were grown on the same land during the season. Sorghum is a quick maturing crop, and it may be planted after wheat, oats or clover harvest in sparse fields that otherwise would lie idle. For this reason it is an economical field crop. As with other crops, sorghum to grow, fast and large must have a rich soil. It is rather hard on the land, and if it and another crop are grown in a field the same year, then that field should be manured before another crop is planted. Sorghum is an excellent soiling crop for late summer and early fall feeding when pastures are generally dry and short. With an acre or two of this crop all of the animals may have absolutely all the green feed they can consume at a season when they appreciate anything that is green and tender. Cows eat it with a relish, but will not eat the entire plant of large stalks. We placed the cows' mangers full and allowed them to eat of the blades and as many of the small stalks as they would. Every morning and evening their mangers were cleaned out and the large stalks stripped of leaves were fed to the hogs, these animals chewing them and sucking out the sweet juice with a distinct relish. Horses like sorghum fodder perhaps better than any other domestic animals. We fed it to three horses and a young mule. They ate the entire plant, large and small stalks. One mare was rather poor when the sorghum feeding began, and on this feed it galned in fat and flesh faster than on anything she ever ate. The sweet juice of sorghum is fattening for all animals—H, H. S., Mo. LIME AND POTATO SCAB A contributor in the Rural New Yorker says: "I would like to add my experience to the lime and potatoes discussion which come up at intervals. A year ago last October I plowed about three quarters of an acre of ground which had been poorly seeded about eight years ago, and upon which were growing mostly weeds and thistles. My intention at that time was eventually to sow alfalfa, but I afterward decided the ground was too low and wet. After plowing I sowed one and one-half ton of freshly burned unslaked fine lime. After one or two rains and several harrowings I sowed about October 15 crimson clover. The clover started but all winter-illed. The following spring I plowed again and planted three sacks and five bushels of potatoes. The lime had entirely changed the texture of the soil, and as some of the seed was badly infected with scab and the soil was so full of the lime that it could be plainly seen in places when we furrowed for planting. I fully expected (from everything I had ever read on the subject) to have a fine crop of scabby potatoes, but instead I had the best crop of fine large, smooth potatoes, that was dug in this vicinity last season. The good yield in a dry season I lay to the natural moisture of the ground, but the very excellent quality of the potatoes I attributed to the lime. This year after I finish planting I am going to sow finely ground limestone at the rate of two tons or more per acre and cultivate in. My ground this year is the finest rich sand loam and my seed, all from Maine, is, some of it, very scabby." EARLY PASTURE FOR HOGS As early in the spring as possible prepare a piece of rich ground. When a good seed bed is made drill in from one to one and one-half bushels of barley or early oats per acre; or, better still, a mixture of these. Be sure to use the beardless barley. Then follow with a grass seeder, sowing a mixture of four pounds timothy and eight pounds clover seeds per acre. I have been using algike, medium and mammoth clovers, but this spring shall include alfalfa, writes an expert in Farm and Home. A FEW REASONS WHY THE NEGRO MINISTERS SHOULD SUPPORT RACE ENTERPRISES AND ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO DO THE SAME. By A. N. DARDEN. This subject is one that opens a field for discussion, for it is said that the true minister is the recognized leader of the people; and it is necessary and timely that this subject be presented today. More business enterprises are being established and fostered than ever before in the annals of civilization. Banks are being founded, drug stores established, dental parlors being opened, lawyers pleading at the bar, merchants behind counters with bookkeepers and cashiers looking after their interest. Hefice, it is well that the minister who has the ear of his people on Sunday and in his parish during the week to direct his people to the many enterprises that are being established by his own people. We are a people controlling a great interest in the onward sweep of American business life, and more avenues are being opened to the young men and women of our race and more opportunities are being presented to support and encourage negro enterprises than ever before. No race has made the marked advancement in a half century starting from nothing and faced by so many difficulties and overcome them all—save the negro. Bondage and slavery depressed and held him fast with rude and cruel morals and intellect, but through the stroke of the mighty pen of Abraham Lincoln we find him today in the business and financial world taking his honor among the monarchs of civilization. We point with a finger of pride to the magnificent buildings towering over the wrecks of time, mercantile and wholesale establishments under direct control and ownership of negroes. We rejoice at the great institutions of learning, seats of great moral and intellectual structures, institutions where Webster, Lincoln, Plato, Socrates, and a host of others of prominence would be proud to pluck of its luscious fruit and drink from its ever existing fountains. Retrospecting the past, seeing the present as it is, and looking into the future, I will state a few reasons why the negro minister should support and encourage race enterprises. First of all I think candidly that the negro minister should have more encouragement and better support from the business men than they are getting today. I think also that the business man should be interested in them and the work they are doing and should support them in proportion to their financial gain. I do not think the minister should be denominational in the good they do for humanity or of building up a community life or fostering some business enterprise. After respect has been shown them as a leader and a minister, I think they should sound aloud in no degree of uncertainty the importance of race business enterprise and it is a moral right for them to support the business man by precept and example. It is a true type of manhood that the minister must teach his people to unite their forces and teach them also the more enterprises the more openings for young men and women and the success of any people or business give encouragement and mark a mile stone in opening a new and more creditable business among us. The true minister is God's chosen vessel, his pulpit is his throne, he sways a scepter, and he can sway it for weal or woe. He should teach and lead them, ought by pointing out the many business enterprises and encourage them to patronize the negro man in business and support them by words and deeds. The great foundation of race building should be laid deep, broad, and long; he should teach that it is their duty that they owe themselves, their fellow-man and to God to patronize every avenue of honest, respectable business fastened by us as a race. Again the ministers ought to identify himself with everything that is honest and honorable, because he is shepherd of his flock and the destiny of our race lies before him, and the eyes of the people are upon him watching his lead. Race pride must be taught from the pulpit. He must teach that the more business among us the more wealth, and the more wealth the more prominent are we placed before the eyes of the world of progress, he should make it known that if we or any race rise to any point of pre-eminence of recognition it must be done by unity of that race. These enterprises are signs of progress and should be supported and encouraged because to the rising generation they will act as a stimulant and inspiration and also give employment to hundreds of our race that would have died in despair. If we are ever to be a people and take our place among the nations of the world we must be master builders. He should teach that these enterprises depend upon the amount of patronage given by us as a race, teach also that these businesses are being operated upon business 'plans' and for business, purposes and it is through these channels that we are to bring about new life in the race and predict to the world the proper setting of a race that through slavery trials and difficulties we conquered the enemies and despite of combined forces if the minister will teach these things we can see the possibilities of us as a race. We should be able to present this fact, that if the race sticks together in business life the day is nearer than we think when Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hand to God and our race become the chief corner stone that the builders rejected. Wilson, N. C. HELPING DELTA FARMERS Besides co-operating with the state and local authorities in the matter of furnishing immediate relief to the flood sufferers in the Dita of the Mississippi and other affected regions, Thomas M. Campbell, negro demonstration agent with headquarters at Tuskegee institute, announces that the department of agriculture of Washington is arranging to secure as many potato silips as possible for distribution, one hundred to a farmer, in order that the people of the affected districts might have opportunity to raise something in the place of their destroyed and delayed crops. Mr. Campbell has just returned from a trip through Mississippi and Louisiana inspecting the demonstration work in that region and co-operating with the local agents. He reports that the negro refugees, as well as those of the white race, were, so far as he could determine, being taken care of by the authorities. The heroism shown by black and white and the wide range of human sympathy, despite the difference of race, was declared by him to be significant of the co-operation between the races. He details many scenes of pathos and humor that came within his notice, but declared that the outstanding feature was the hope and optimism displayed by the rich and poor, the planner and the laborer. Tuskegee institute will give a large number of potato slips to the government for this purpose. As soon as the plants become government property they will be franked through the mails. Mr. Campbell's trip of inspection covered the region in Louisiana and Mississippi around Vicksburg, and from Yazoo City to Clarksdale and the region approaching Greenville. M. A. Jones, a demonstration agent, working under his direction, with headquarters at Indianola, has sent out a circular to the colored people advising them to fumigate their homes as soon as the water recedes, and how to plant cotton in high places as fast as the water leaves. CANALS IN ENGLAND THEY HAD THEIR ORIGIN IN A MATRIMONIAL DISAPPOINTMENT. The British system of artificial inland navigation, which includes several thousand miles of canal, may be said to have had its origin in a matrimal disappointment. The duke of Bridgewater, the originator of the system, was engaged to be married just after he had attained his majority. A dispute arising between the couple, the match was broken off. The duke's chagrin changed the course of his life. He gave his first and last ball to the London world of fashion and then buried himself among his coal fields at Worsley. Eschewing the society of women, he refused even to employ them as servants in his manor house. Disappointed in marrying the most beautiful woman in England, he determined to unite by means of a canal his coal fields with Malchester, then beginning its career as a manufacturing town. In those days good roads were the exceptions, bad roads the rule. The cottons of Manchester and the woolens of Leeds were conveyed from place to place on pack horses, which jogged along in single file. The freight charge from Leeds to London was $63 a ton. When the duke's canal was finished the pieces of coal and other commodities Manchester fell one-half. The success of this canal started the duke to build one which would connect Manchester with Liverpool. To procure the funds he reduced his personal expenses to £400 a year. So strained was he at times that the London bankers hesitated to discount his note for £500. Sometimes when "hard up" he would send his steward upon a collecting tour among the tenant of the ducal estates. The steward would ride from tenant to tenant, getting £5 here and £10 there. When he had collected money enough he would return and pay the canal laborers their weekly wages. In a few years, however, the duke's canals paid him an annual revenue of £50,000.—New York Press. STILL HAD A PROFIT. The new drug clerk had just filled a prescription for a woman customer for which he charged her $1.10. After her departure the clerk discovered that the dollar was a counterfeit. He went hurriedly to the proprietor and informed him of the fact. "How about the ten cents," asked the proprietor—"is that good?" "Yes, sir," answered the clerk, "that seems to be all right." "Well," said the proprietor, "don't worry about it—we still make a nickel."-Harper's Magazine. A SMART IDEA. A smart idea for the trimming of tallor made dresses is suede for the binding of a collar and sleeves and for the waistcoat. The gloves worn match and a suede traveling cap adds to the completion of the scheme. CONSENSUS OF OPINION AMONG MEMBERS OF THE RACE IS THAT NEXT PRESIDENT OF HOWARD UNIVERSITY SHOULD BE A NEGRO. Washington, D. C.—The election of Dr. Wilbur T. Thirlkield to the bishopric in the M. E. church will cause a vacancy in the presidency of Howard university. Already a number of prominent colored educators have been mentioned for the vacancy. Who will succeed Dr. Thirlkield as president of Howard is not merely of interest to the colored people in Washington, where the university is located, but it is of great interest to every one of the 1,200 Howard students, to the several hundred Howard alumni, and to the thousands of colored men and women everywhere interested in the education of the race primarily, and in higher education secondarily. Dr. Thirkeld is a white man. Every president Howard has had has been a white man. Many colored men, and correctly, too, think the next president ought to be a colored man in order to constantly emphasize the need of Howard university as an institution of learning to give hope. There is nothing in the laws and rules establishing and governing Howard to make it a separate institution for colored, yet, the entire student body is colored, not a white student to be seen in any department. It is as effectually a colored institution as if made so by congressional action or judicial decision. President Thirkeld, although himself white, and although a very successful president, has not been able to attract a single white student in the past several years. The faculty, for the most part, is composed of colored professors and instructors. Howard university by and through the mutations of race prejudice has become, so far as its student body is concerned, distinctly a colored institution, and congress appropriates for it upon this assumption. There are, however, colored men who claim, and are insisting, that Dr. Thirkield's successor must be a white man for the reason that it is not time to make a colored man president of Howard. The men who advance this argument not only discredit their race and bellthemselves, but they give white men an argument to use against placing a colored man in any new position whatsoever. If it is not time to elect a colored man president of Howard then the time is not yet ripe for colored trustees for that institution, and those colored men who are now serving as trustees ought to resign in order to be in harmony with the backward movement. If it is not time for a colored president of Howard is it not possible that the colored deans at Howard are serving in positions several years in advance of the race's right to these positions? The pioneer is always met with the laggard's argument of "it is not time." Catching their cue from race prejudice, and backed up by weak, service colored men, some white men have always objected to the entrance of every colored man upon any unbeaten path on the ground "it is not time." When R. H. Terrell and E. M. Hewlett were proposed for municipal judges here white men who coveted all the offices, and colored men who lacked race confidence and race pride contended that the time was not ripe for such appointments. The men were appointed, however, and both filled the positions acceptably and well, and in some cases better than any of their white associates. Given the opportunity to succeed as municipal judges has prepared these men for a round higher on the judicial ladder. There is not a single place occupied by colored men today but what was won against and in spite of the "not time" argument. When it was proposed to raise $100,000 for a colored Y. M. C. A. building here the same weak argument of "not time" was used, yet the conception of, the camgaming for, and the raising of that $100,000 was the work of colored men; and now Dr. Moreland, international secretary, and Lewis E. Johnson, local secretary, whose efforts more than any two men are responsible for the success, can behold the completed, furnished, equipped and occupied $100,000 colored Y. M. C. A. building. Who will say it is not time for a colored man to manage this institution? And it is just as reasonable to say that a white man should be in control and manage the $100,000 Y. M. C. A. building as to say a white man, of a necessity, should be head of Howard university. One of the favorite, and as they think convincing, arguments of these colored men who favor a white president for Howard is that the president must raise money for the maintenance of the institution, and no colored man can be found equal to such a task. Dr. Booker T. Washington founded Tuskegee and developed it to its present amazing status, raising himself all the several millions that have been expended upon it. Dr. Washington is spoken of as being a colored man. Indeed he himself publicly admits it. The president of Howard university is not called upon to solicit monies from any source except congress. oCngress appropriates all that is required for the keep and improvement of Howard, in excess of the monies derived from the institution's endowment fund. The president of Howard makes out and files with the secretary of the interior each year an estimate of the appropriations required for maintenance and improvements. He goes over these estimates with the secretary, and if he is able to convince the secretary of the interior that the estimates are just, warranted and needed, these estimates, along with other estimates, are trans- mitted to congress. When the appropriation committee of congress reaches the estimates the president of Howard appears before the committee, explains the estimates and urges their allowance by congress. If no colored man can be found who can do this then Howard university itself has been a failure, and the advancement of the race has been backward rather than forward. Freedmen's hospital, also a government maintained colored institution, is one of the largest, finest, best equipped and most splendidly managed hospitals in the country. It has a colored man for surgeon-in-chief. Under him the discipline is admirable, and the results attained splendid. -As head of this institution he has secured congressional appropriation far in excess of any appropriation ever secured by any white president for Howard university. If it were possible to secure so well equipped colored executive for Freedmen's hospital it followed at somewhere there is a colored man who can meet all emergencies at Howard. The social life about any institution is always an accelerator or a retardence—just as it encompasses or restricts. At Howard there has been an absence of that social life, emanating from or gravitating to the president's home, so characteristic of other similar institutions. In spite of Dr. Thirkield's interest in and zeal for the institution, and in spite of the fact that he probably has not aimed to socially exclude and seclude himself and family, yet the president's house at Howard has ever been a "beautiful isle of somewhere," and rarely has its threshold been crossed by students, faculty or wives of faculty members in a social way. Such a condition could not obtain were the president a colored man. Howard university is recognized everywhere as a colored institution of learning. Its faculty, for the most part, is colored. Many of the trustees are colored men. In a few years Howard has gradually, surely, and without compulsion changed from an institution of learning for all classes to one for colored alone. If it is not time now for the selection of a colored educator as president that time will never arrive, in the opinion of those who cling to the servile "not time" argument. If in all these United States no colored man can be found equipped for the presidency of Howard, then Howard, and every other colored institution has been teaching a false theory and instilling into colored young men and women a false hope. If a white man of Dr. Thirkield's caller could prove a success as president of Howard university, then there are many colored men who, if given the opportunity, may be as eminently successful. There is no intention to disparage Dr. Thirkield—only to give full credit to men of our own race. WAR ON "TIGERS" URGED BY PASTOR WAR ON "TIGERS" URGED BY PASTOR DR. PROCTOR DEPLORES THEIR DEADLY INFLUENCE OVER COLORED PEOPLE. Atlanta—Rev. H. H. Proctor preached at the First Congregational church (colored) on "Blind Tigers and the Men and Women Who Feed Them." "Blind Tigers are working havoc among the colored people of Atlanta," he said. "Whether they operate in the street, in a place of business, in a private house or in a house of evil, their influence is deadly among our people. They promote lawlessness, idleness, vice and crime. They corrupt men and women and destroy boys and girls. The colored people have no greater handicap in this community than this illicit liquor-selling. A visit to the recorder's court tomorrow morning will confirm this. "But these 'tigers', could not exist unless they were fed. Every man or woman who purchases liquor from them is a feeder of the tiger, and an amendment should be made to the law making the purchaser as guilty as the seller, for one could not operate without the other. Those who rent their property to persons who carry on this business help to feed the tiger; put him in the street, and he could be more easily caught and punished. Those who lend their moral influence to the tiger help to feed him; he who enters this business should be made to feel the weight of the disapproval of all good people." FAMILIAR QUOTATIONS. One of the most familiar quotations from the Bible which are not to be found there upon research is "the lion lying down with the lamb." The spirit of the reference is correct enough, but turn up the passage in Isaiah and you will find: "The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid, and the calf and the young lion and the failing together." The popular mind has condensed the zoological miscellany, and to the incorrect version alliteration has no doubt contributed—Exchange. JUST "TOO LITTLE NIGGER." The negro small boy on the plantation had eaten a great deal of watermelon and was suffering from indigestion in consequence. The doctor gravely diagnosed the case as too much watermelon." "No, sah!" said the old negro mammy. "No sich thing! Nevah was too much watermillion!" Then looking the small negro over, she added: "No, not too much watermillion—too little nigger!"—Judge. D.

Among the Masons The brethren who attended the recent Grand Lodge have all returned home fully inspired for greater work during the year. The sessions were indeed profitable and conducted with clock like precision. This was directed by Grand Master Butler whom all the brethren love and regard highly. We are all determined to make this Masonic year the best ever. We do not intend running the same rut. Let the brethren beware of the rascally fellow who is parading in certain sections as Bro. Fred Richardson of Mt. Moriah Lodge No. 15 of Savannah. He is a fake and should be placed in jail. In fact pay no attention to floating men claiming to be Masons. St. John's Day was appropriately observed by many of the Lodges. The Grand Chapter O. E. S. will convene in Brunswick, August 20. The chapter at Brunswick intend making it very pleasant for those who will attend- Masonry is love—love of God and fellowmen. Toleration is the most brilliant gem that graces the diadem which adorns noble brow of Freemasonry.—Texas Freemason. There is a tradition that certain companions engaged in the work of rebuilding the Temple first removed the rubbish from the ruins, and being stimulated by the discovery of a keystone in one of the arches, were encouraged to pursue their labors, which led to the discovery of a deposit which had been made in the remote past and thereby rendered a service of inestimable value to the craft. Those Masons who are content to dig only among the rubbish, bring to light nothing of value, but those who persevere are rewarded, as were the companions of old, by being permitted to share its richest treasures. If Freemasonry is overthrown, 'it will be betaise the plan of Masonry is changed and innovations are introduced which will make it something entirely different from that which the Fathers intended that it should be.—Frederic Speed, Mississippi. At the Masonic Hall in Vallejo, California, one day in the month just passed, the tyler had lowered the blue flag which floats from that structure on the days which precede the meeting nights of Naval Lodge No. 87, and was in the act of furling a bit of bunting which serves as a beacon to the Masons of that community, when he was accosted by a little miss of six proud years who asked him what the flag meant and why it had been displayed from the pole which surmounted the Mason's house. "There is to be a meeting to-night," was the answer, to which the child replied: "My papa will be there." When the lodge was about to open, sure enough the ather came, and was greeted by the tyler, who said: "I knew you were coming, brother, for your little girl told me you would be here." "Yes" was the reply, "she said she had spoken to a man who was taking down the flag and I asked her if she were not afraid to talk to a strange man like that, and she answered me: 'Oh no! he is a Mason'." This incident furnishes a pretty lesson of the confidence of innocent childhood. If every Mason will so conduct himself that this confidence be not betrayed, then indeed may it be said that the seed sown by the beautiful tenets of Freemasonry has fallen upon fertile soil.
