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. t : a « The Up-to-Date Tailors 218 WEST BROAD STREET, BETWEEN HULL“AND OGLETHORPE AVE.

MALIGNANT UNBELIEF, Golden Text.—This is the condemna- tion, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than | light, because thelr deeds were evil— John 3:19, | Lesson Text—Mark 3:20-35. Com- mit vs. 28, 29. 5 Time.—Mldsummer A. D, 28. Place.— Galilee, Expositton—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 refresh- ment broken in upon in this way (cf. Mark 6:31-35). He was far more con- cerned about doing good to others than finding refreshment for,bimself (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 min- istering to the needs of perlshing souls, people at once conclude that he is crazy. The fallure to enter into the deeper motives of Jesus’ life lay at the root of thelr grievous mistake. H. Considered in league with the devil by his foes, 22-30, The multi- tude at once saw In Jesus’ power to open thé eyes and lips, the evidence, that he was the Messiah (Matt, 12:34). Old Testament prophets had foretold that the Messiah would do these things (Is. 29:18; 32:3, 4). The Phar- isees, In their unwillingness to yield to the truth had another explanation: {t was Beelzebub, the prince of demons, casting out demons.. The scribes and Pharisees had come down from Jerusa- lem to discover something to find fault with and to accuse him of (cf. vs. 2, 6; ch. 7:1; Luke 5:17, 21; Matt. 21:15, 16). They did not accept the natural and true explanation because their own hearts were wicked and they were unwilling to give the inheritance to the real helr (John 3:19, 20; 11:47, 38; Mark 12:7). If such charges were brought against Jesus, his true discl- ples must not expect to escape (Matt. 10:25). These charges broke the heart of our loving Lord (Ps. 69:20). it was for our sakes that he “endured such contradictions of sinners against himself" (Is. 63:2, 4). He did not meet these outrageous charges with anger and invective, but lovingly sought to open the eyes of those who brought them, that they might not de’ lost forever. The Pharisees did not make these charges directly to him, but he had read their thoughts (Matt. 12:25; Luke 11:17), and by knowing their thoughts had proved himeelf di- vine. He_exposed the utter folly of their charge (vs. 23-27). As it was not by Satan's power that he cast out demons, he showed them that It must be by the Spirit of God (Matt. 12:28; Luke 11:20). He, who could thus put forth the “finger of God” and bring Satan's power to naught must himself be divine. Satan jg a “strong man" (y. 27; cf. Luke 21:22), but Jesus is stronger. He has power to bind the strong man and take his goods out of his hands (y. 27). The one who {a under‘ Satan's influence is a slave, bound and guarded by the “strong man” (cf. Luke 11:21 R. V.). If one is under the mighty power of Satan, there {s only one to whom we can look for dellverance. All sins but one are pardonable. No matter how often a man has sinned, or how griev- ously, he can find pardon (yv. 28), If he will only receive the one who has borne our sin in bis own body on the tree (1 Pet. 2:25; Acts 10:43 18: 39). The one sin for which there is nq pardon is the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost (v. 29). The context clearly shows that blasphemy ‘against the Holy Ghost {s the deliberate at- tributing to the devil what we know to be the work of the Holy Spirit. When one does this, he will beconie 80 hardened and so blinded that he will never come to Christ, and thus will never find pardon. If any one will come to Jesus, he will receive him (John 6:37), and if therefore one does come to Jesus, it is proof that be has not committed the unpardonable sin. Jesus’ statement in v, 29 (see R, V,) is proof positive that all men will ul- {imately be forgiven and saved (If not in ‘this age In a future age) Is ab- solutely true. Ill. Misunderstood by His Nearest Kin, 31-35. Jesus’ nearest relatives, Including his mother, were frightened | at the confilct between our Lord and the scribes, Thelr object in calling him sister and mothertohim, were those who did the wilpf God (cf. John 14: about Jesus Ghrist’*\. What does the make us children of God, and so near- est 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? p of and by Our People | iia SSR RC ee DIERS. Sleep on! Sleep on!

I wish that there were some wonderful place 3 Called the Iand of Beginning Again, Where all our mistakes and all our _ _ heartaches And all of our poor, selfish grlef Could be dropped, Ike a shabby old coat, And never put on again.

Winnked on all sides by the leaders of the two wings of tbe Repubdlicac Party and imper- tuned as never before, to remain fismoa the one hind aud to chanse faith on the other. the stalwart sons of the south, chose the betrer course and remsined tué to the Uustreposed mm them. For this nrand sand noble exhibition of faith fulness to duty and love of honor do we heartily join in the encon- jumof our fellow quill drivers. Bur boys could not be bought: they were beyond purchase: they were men ef chonght and eonvietion ue- terthined te stand Ly their pledges and do the vivght cing as they saw iw Shey thought ror themselves thes acted for chemseives and. in so doing gave kop to whe race. The Hime is ugt far distant when tho «atts ef the Neroes’ unsteadi- ness an} }.ch of prinerp.e in crises will cease He has been tried time and again and each time he has eme.zed fiom the strugele with tlyimy colors. It was during the revolutionary struyele when be remsned steady and true to “his country” lighting side bys*side with his Yrother in white apparently unmindful of the fact that his. Jrothers m_ black were being brought to this country at that very time by the ship-load to be sold inslavery. It was during the yreat iaternecine struggle bet cen theStates when he kept his pro- | -mise to his master and remained loyal.aud faithful to his master’s family when in so doing he was helping to perpetuate the institu- tion 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 forthe country of his love, faithful to the trust reposed in‘ him as a soldier of the great Unit- ed States, conscious at the same ue 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 andin others the victim of mob sivlence 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 :manty tu an individual. > Weare particalarly gratified to see that Recorder Schwartz is de- termined 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 fol Jowed by others if these places continue to be operated. We see in the continued operation of these houses a menace to the coni- munity which will work more hammn than the average person may imagine. It was in just Such places as these in one of our neigh- boring cities that a near riot was started several months ago when one of the white men who was visiting them was seriously in- jured by one of the inhabitants of the house and it was only by the most careful handiing of the situ- tion by the authorities that the matter was finally settled and the impending riot averted. Such a course of events isnot at all with- out the range of possibility here and we are pleased to see that the authorities tre determined to close these places up And while they are bending their efforts at wiping ont these ill-fame houses we should like te sue them ferret ont at the same time all of the whice women of the underworld who have migiated from the “ied light district in the northeast section of the city to the peaceful communi. ties west of West Broad street and south of Gwinnett which are in- habitated by respectable Negro families. ‘The presence of these women has made the home sur- roundings of the above cummuni- ties very obnoxious and very un- safe for the hoys and girls’ grow- ‘ing up in these homes. Children can not become accustomed to such scenes as are usually enact- ed by these people without becom- ing 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 open‘ng in these communities and it is no wonder that the re- spectable Negroes in the yicinity are becoming daily more alarmed and grieved’ o¥er- the situation. It is only fair and just that these humble people's protest should be given due consideration by the pro- ver municipal authorities, What injures and lowers the Negroes’ moral standsrd has its beneful ef- fects upon the wiite race. for their children are entrasted large- Jy tu the rearing ef the urses and household servants whe are arawn from these hemes. And our Negio ministers should give more ernest atte:tion to this matler now than they have ia’ the past. because of the serious pro- portions to. which it has grown, They should keep it before the parents atall times. They shontd | disenss the subject before their ministerml unions and decide up- on a course of action which will compel the authorities to revog- nize the. wravity of the situation. | It is indeed tume for corcerted uction, prompt and decided ae ais craves 2emong our people, une is more worthy of condemnation at this time [than the onenew rumpant among us for gorgeous and unnecessarily expensive funeral displays, It fis nO uncommon sight to behold almont daily on the streets that ire generally used for our funeral corteges, pfocessions of unusual length wending their way te our burial grounds. Now while we do not wish to decry the desire of one to put away his loved jones in a decent and respectable way yet in his attempting so to do in keeping with the prevailing Heustom, there isa danger of ex- Mavaxunice that w:lldo no one any good, but on the contrary, will work to the harm of many. We believe that itisthe duty of each person to provide all the necessary, comforts that he ean fur 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 arrange- ment 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 believethat the causeof this great desire among us for expensive funerals Gisplays is due to the fact that there 1s growing among us a class of people who might be term- ed professional mourners or funeral attendants. ‘[hese 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 2 conse- quence in order that there may be: no after feeling with any one, the surviving family usegy practically pall of the money ihat may come from the societies and insurances sith which the deceased was con- nected in supplying carriages and lother 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. .4s a result debts become of long stand- ing and thus the survivors lose their credit in many instances. Now in our devotion to thesick 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 sufliciently close to war- rant our presence not only at the vhurch or home at which the {un- eral 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 un- necessary or extra expenses. At best, we are still a poor people linaneially. Oursecret and benevo- lent societies and insurances, sene- rous as they are in their siek and de ith benetits, fail asa rale to cov- erdebts that are accumulated by a fong siege of sickness. The money accruing from these societies and insurances therefare should not be used to provide carriages , and other conveniences for “friends of a Te RR ae Sm a MR themselves, buc aside from that amount that is used to provide for the comfort and conyenience of the immediate family, the remain- def shoula be used*in defraying at least in part the expenses en- tailed by the sickness and death of the deceased. Far better can we and do we hallow the memory of our dear ones by paying promptly the necessary debts brought on by their sickness and subsequent deaths, than by contracting wnnec- essary debts that cause unusual delayy in their liquidation. We trust that our people will give this matter their serious consideration. ee Second Baptist Church. There was a large atteadance at the morning services on Sunday last. The pastor Rev. D. Augustine Reid preanied a very powerful sermon from the text 1, Peler 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 jin number and appearance. In the absence of Rev, Daniel Wright, the ex- teises were Conducted by Rev. Charlie Wright. His subject ‘Be temperate in alf things,” was well illustrated and many home lessons were drawn. The school sang “Yield not tu ‘lemptation”’ At nisht the pastor read fr the tesson, St. John 17:1-26. His text was from Rom, 8:17. The subject was ‘‘Suffer- ing and gloritication.” The Jessons taught by the examples of those whe have suffered and the rewarg that we may expect are sure if we are_tatthful to the trust. The choir sang “Tis burn- ing 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 offer- ed.

Grant, treasurer; Mr. H. Ben Hannah, corresponding secretary; Mr. E. C. Blackshear, Chaplain; Mr. C. H. Bogan, Advocate; Mr. W. N. Wright, second vice-president; Mr. Modron J. Hadley, manager.

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.

You have never been forgotten, nor will you ever be; as long as life and memory last we will ever remember thee. Like one who watches upon the tower looking for the children's good, ever at thy post from hour to hour. But now you sleep, free from all pain and we who mourn are left in tears, but we will not call thee back to this sad vale of tears, for well we know thou has gone to that bright world above.

"Wise men are instructed by Reason, men of less understanding by Exeprience, all others by Necessity. "The judgment and sincerity exercised by individuals in their efforts for protection, uplift and development of themselves not those dependent upon them, are the unmistakable marks of the difference in men. "This suggests the question of Insurance. "Happy is the young man, who by Reason and a knowledge of men and things, protects himself against sickness and accidents by a liberal insurance policy, for he has a certain "peace of mind" denied the thoughtless. Besides, in youth, the cost of insurance is smaller than in later years. "Fortunate is the man, who by Experience with unexpected Doctor's bills appreciates the value of an Insurance policy for himself; odhane dependent upon nim "Wretched is the man who, when the ravages of time have reduced his youth-old age of affliction and discouragement, first awakens to the Necessity of Insurance. Then waning vitality either bars him from insurance benefits or admits him at greatly increased rates." J. C. LINDSAY Is the District Manager of the Old Reliable Union Mutual WM.

Sermon Who have read a recent book on “Ihe Idle Rich” will need no proof of the proposition so far as it concerns mem- ders of the wealthy class. But we need to guard against a too-cominon mistake. Immoral Iuxury is by no means contined to the very rich. The largest single expenditure in” this country, an annual budget of seven- teen hundred millions of dollars (mote than we pay for bread, for education, ‘or national defense), Is spent on alco- holic beverages; and three-fourths of this sum comes from those who are comparatively poor. The Iaborer who spends twenty cents dally for beer 18, from the standpoint of family duty ape responsibility, as guilty as the Idle rich. So, for that matter, is a thousand-dollar clerk who spends $30 @ year on cigars and tobaco. Nor must it be forgotten that there 1s luxury and lucury, There Is a lux- ury that fs social rather than selfish. which helps to make life brighter and- cheerler and therefore better—a lux- ury which has its charter in the finely balanced saying of St. Paul about the God “who giveth us richly al Ithings to| enjoy.” But while this is true and the Christian spirit may exist in the midat ‘of a Iife of ease, the danger is that It wiil not. Christ knew the human heart, and in spite of our pitiful efferts to explain away his saying he meant something when he told his disciples | that it was easier for a camel to pass thtough the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. = Nor is our modern problem merely ‘a raatter of luxury; it Is In many cir- cies outelde the realm of great wealth, a question of softness of living. There te umong us a marked decay of virile hardness. We love ease; we sbrink from self-denial, And here, again, [t Is a situation that runs parallel with no special so- vclal class. Take the life of the ordl- nary, every-day family As a nation our attitude toward the child ts dan- gerously indulgent. Mothers innumer- able are slaving over work at which their daughters should be, but are not Jearning to help. Fathers innumer- ‘able are so anxious to have thelr boys “rise In the world” that we find a hun- ‘dred poor clerks for one vacancy. while the manual trades are held more and more in contempt. The re- sult is a coming generation with wrong social standards, with little re- spect for discipline and duty and with no education for the inevitable pains of Iife. A generation not used to hardness of any sort will lack the morat sturdl- ness and the rugged moral discipline that makes a happy family life possl- ble. ‘What. then, Is the gospel for this cage of ease” First—It is a gospel of work. The teaching of Christ is exemplified in his Vite. With all, the world to choose from, how striking that he selects his place at a carpenter's shop and iden- tifies himself with the plain people! Jesus Christ's Ife 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 Jabor fol- Jow 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 sleepetb, there am I with him alone. ‘This 1s 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 inno cent that {s spent in selfish idleness. Every idler, whether he be rich or poor, !s 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 bis clothing ana his uncertain abiding place. Not to “be obliged to work {3 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 lelsure lays upon them a duty to others. Their exemption from manual toll is the voice of God ringing a “noblesse oblige” in their ears. Theirs “4s a quickened call to social service. ‘Only in such service can their luxury be prevented from becoming Immoral! and debasing. ‘This 1s the lesson the children: of today must be taught If they are to eee et eee oe Ne ee oe tal gifts, at least they have opportu- ‘nity 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 isa gospel of sacrifice. Christ's own sacrifice stands over against us as a ¢hallenge and appeal. “Though he were rich, yet for our sakes he became poor.” Christ stands over against thj wills and hearts of men, inviting and aftracting to sacri- fice, demanding: and claiming sacri- fice, welcoming sacrifice when it fs offered. : I belleve the gospel has failed to a certain extent i our day, just be- cause It has not/Heen preached strong- ly on this side.| We have made relig- jon easy instead of heroic. The world still at heart loves the herofc, and will always respond to tts call. Let gospel of sacrifice—herole ‘sacrifice —be preached more widely, and even an ease-loving age will respond to its message. Men will still do hard things {f they have been made to see them as a vision splendid. Fourth.—Ours Is a gospel of brother- hood. Not that Christianity first gave the {dea of brotherhood to the world —the Roman Terence won a storm of applause in the theater by a Ine In one of his plays which said the same thing. But Christianity took the {dea and set It at work. Our social serv- ice 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 pos- sibilities of happiness hitherto un- dreamed, in the effort to give that question an affirmative answer Emally—Ours is thé gospel of the other world If people are to live stmply and to work. unselfishly for the good of others, It must be for a bet- ter 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 forcé can be found only in the life that Is to come. To make life here a better and bappler thing becomes a noble aim, Inspiring to high serv- fee only when the conviction is firm that Ife bere 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 con- stious of heavenly blessings that are to be. “THE WORD MELODRAMA ORIGINALLY MEANT A PLAY IN WHICH MUSIC WAS INTRO- DUCED. Nowadays “melodrama” Js In gen- eral use as’ denoting a purely, sensa- tonal play, with an all but impossible hero, heroine and villain among the characters represented. Formerly the word kept more closely In Its sig- nification to actual derivation. ~Mel- cdrama” 1s 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 romantle school, in which the dia- logue was frequently , relieved by music, sometimes of an Incidental and cometimes of a purely dramatic character. On the strength of his “Pygmalion” J. J. Rousseau is credit- ed with the Invention of-this style. Some of the so-called English operas ‘of the older school, such as the once famous “Beggar's Opera” and the once popwlar “No Song, No Supper,” are In teutity true melodramas, * In the second place “melodrama” was applied to a peculiar kind of the- atrical composition in which the actor ‘recited his part in an ofdinary speak- ‘Ing volce, while the orchestra played ‘a more or less elaborate accompani- ‘mient appropriate to the situation and calculated to bring Its salfent features into the highest possible relief. The merit of the invention of this deserip- tion of melodrama belongs to George Beada, who used it with striking ef- fect in bis “Ariadne auf Naxos,” pro- duced at Gotha in 1774.—London Globe.

The commercial aspect deserves profound considera- tlon; 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‘de- velop standards that will better serve industrial and commercial relations. By reason of its proximity the south will take on newer life. If the vast- ness of Its resources must be ex- plored and developed, the capitalists will seize the situation with energy, alertness and tenacity. Agatnst the exacting and tenactous capitalists Ia- bor must be protected. We still hear more of the replication that unions are Indispensable; that they cannot exist without franchise; that It 1s un- safe to admit any Jaborérs to untons without franchise and espectally with- out 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 unontsm demand? ‘The Panama canal will make a new ‘south, Who {fs not willing to admit the possibility of a new south becom- ing a north, a Yankee land? For an instance, we are familiar with white competition driving the negro walter to the wall. Foreigners and native born are hardfast In the clutches of the high cost of HvIng and must seek and dignify any and every avenue of employment. Even the native white woman ts competing with the negro woman for the scrub brush. If the walters’ condition 1s without remedy, will not this soon apply to other ave- nues? There seems to be no public sentiment to quicken In hts 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 {ts tslands will be revolut{onized. Negroes of the United States, n Hay- ti, San Domingo, Cuba, Brazil and Cen- tral America are to be equalized by the ugly hand of the arrogant Cau- caslan, Will this be done to the white man's taste or will nature foil bim and sult 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 thelr orlgin, whose land abounds in wealth, and where In some Instances rights are equal and the meahs by which to defend them are equal. Prejudice follows the American flag. The white man ts growing the same everywhere, like causes produce like effects, what he has not done we may expect bim to attempt at any time. It becomes a matter of common interest to all these negroes that Justice shall prevail. The Panama canal will ap- proximate them as if they were of states of the same unfon, 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 {s the negro's prerogative. Itis urgent to cast his future tnto the proper mold. The crisis is Impend- tng, shall Halt! retain her sovereign- ity, shall other island nelghbors and adjacent countries retain equal rights and the means by which to defend them and shall the reaction be the po- Utfeal emancipation of American ne- groes? I do not doubt the negroes of these islands. “Thex cannot endure serfdom: To them it would be more bitter than death. If the test fs applied will they not only successfully defend themselves, but create a reaction that will produce the political emanclpa- tlon 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 fingdoms, had lald Egypt at his feet, he fell against Abyssinia, was utterly repulsed and had to retreat. England ‘threw her giant strength agatnet her, was defeated and had to withdraw. ‘Italy fell against her, with 45,000 sol- diers, and in the decisive battle that followed lost 33,000 soldiers and offi. cers, killed and wounded, 20,000 arms, handful of negroes In San Domingo can destroy 50,000 of my best soldiers, I could not hold Louistana in case of war. I will sell at once.” Halt! sent arms and printing press to Argentina which precipitated freedom there. Let the American negroes lend Cuban negroes thelr moral support; let the hearts of the 25,000 million negroes of this section of the world beat as one.

LABORER . TO STENDGRAPHER ‘Washington.—A few years ago Wool- sey 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 fs interesting. Hall was burn in Washington and educated in the pub- Ae 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 bot- tom 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. Mil- ton Turner, of Missouri, was before congress fighting for the interests of the freedom of the Choctaw and Chick- asaw Indian tribes, and the bull of the testimony and evidence necessary to be presented to the committee of con- gress being too voluminous of his reg- ular stenographer be employed Hall after department hours. Mr, Turao- er’s sponsor in congress was Hon. Richard Bartholdt, of St. Louis, the then chairman of the house commit- tee on public buildings and grounds, and the clerk of this conimittee at that time, Mr. Edward E. Miller, men. tioned to Mr. Turner thatyhe was over- run with work and would like to se- cure 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 qualifica- tion required by Congressmen Bar- tholdt, Rodenburg and himself was proficiency, Turner then took Hall to the capital and introduced him to Miller, who in turn presented Hall to Congressmen Rodenberg and Bar- tholdt, 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 steno- graphic education It 1s possible to re- celve, and as a climax to this work, in 1908, when Mr. Miller found the work of handling the omnibus public bulld- ings Dill of the GUth congress to re- quire more sténographic help and asked that some arrangement be made to detall Hall to the committee, Congressman Rodenberg prevailed up- ‘on 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 be ceme se¢retary of the treasury in 1909, Hall had reached the grade of messenger in the office of an assist- ant secretary of the treasury at $1,- 000 per annum, Mr. Redenberg told Hall that a young man who was qual- ified 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 Illinols, whose Interest In the race Is well known, called upon Secretary Mac- ‘Veagh and after a short consultation received a promise that Hall would be given an opportunity. He was at once transferred to one of the divis- fons cf the secretary's office, as a clerk, at $900 (the regular entrance salary), and shortly thereafter he was promoted to $1,200, skipping the $1,- 000 grade. He has again been pro moted by Secretary MacVeagh, to $1,- 400 per annum. / Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh is known as the “Square Deal Secre- tary” and he well deserves the title, because the employes in his depart- ment 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.

Telegrams. 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.
