Sweep Nation COL. ROOSEVELT RUNS SECOND Republicans Carry but Three States-But Little Interest Shown in Local Contest-Progressives Outran Republicans In the National election of last Tuesday the Democrats won a sweeping victory over the disrupted ranks of the Republicans and the Progressives, carrying several states that were never before known to go Democratic. The Progressives showed unexpected strength and won out in several states with an overwhelming majority. They ran second in the total number of states carried, greatly out distancing the Republicans who captured but three states, namely New Hampshire, Utah and Vermont, while they were victorious in Illinois, Kansas, Pennsylvania and Washington, with other states still doubtful. One of the most notable features of the election was the vote of Massachusetts which went to Wilson. This is the first time in the history of Massachusetts that the Democrats have been able to carry the state. The local interest in the election was far from being acute and while the returns, as given out election night, were listened to by large crowds, yet they were very undemonstrative. In the local vote Col. Roosevelt out ran the President, the former getting 332, while the latter received 238 votes. The Odd Fellows Building Association has placed solicitors in the field to sell stock in the new building and collect for same. We earnestly ask that all Odd Fellows and Inmates of the Household of Ruth take at least one stock. E. A. Fields, President. C. W. Alexander, Secy. W. Smith, Treasurer. P. L. Bowen, Asst. Secy.

A young Spaniard was murdered and found dead upon the moor. Sherlock Holmes, the greatest detective character ever created in fiction, was assigned to the case. Needless to say he solved the mystery in his usual masterly fashion. The name of the story is "The Singular Experience of Mr. J. Scott Eccles." It was written by Sir A. Conan Doyle and will be printed in next Sunday's New York World. By all means read this remarkable story. We wish to call attention to the fact that there is a Y. M. C. A, recently organized among the colored men of our city, which meets on the second floor of the Williams Building every Sunday at 4:30 p. m. For the past three Sundays we have held helpful and encouraging meetings. We feel sure that this very necessary organization should meet with the approval and merit the support of all the men of our race in the city who wish to be helped themselves and helpful to the community. Prof. Suggs of the Georgia State College will be the speaker Sunday afternoon, November 10th. Well wishers, members and those desiring to become members are asked to be present. VOLUME XXVIII Notice Great Murder Mystery Y. M. C. A. The Among the Masons. The ear of Masonry is ever open to the cry of genuine distress; from its hand fall constant bene- faction; its strong arms embrace the helpless and lift the fallen up; into countless hearts it pours the balm of consolation, its electric sympathy girdles the earth with blessing; with truest courage it fronts the horrors of the battlefield, and in the face of loathsome pestilence lifts up the banner of its human love.—Square and Compasses, New Orleans. I love to attend lodge meetings because the spirit of brotherly love prevails there. Who of us has not felt that it was good to be there and drink with the brothren from the rich fountain of God's love beneath His all-seeing eye. Who of us has not felt that the ties of brotherly love which bind us one to another and all to God has not made us better men and our lives purer and sweeter? Who of us that has not felt the thrilling joy from good done to another? This spirit of brotherly love and deep sense of the oneness of purpose, the good of all mankind, makes the lodge room one of the most delightful places on earth, and this is why I love to attend lodge meetings.—Home Journal. SIASONIC TRADITION Masonry is tradition. Men easily learn to love history, to revere past, to have regard for tradition. Indeed the noblest part of our present lives is largely due to reverence for traditions, because tradition gives us the wisdom of the past—the accumulated experiences of those who have gone before us. Our lives are what they are because men have enriched the world by their deeds and experiences, by kindness, gentleness and love which are handed down to us by tradition. Our noblest hopes are in the memory of these traditions, our greatest future will depend upon our keeping the traditions of the noble past alive and present with us. In these purblind days of business interests and commercial activity, there is a great danger that the ideal may be blotted out of their lives, that the spiritual part of our nature may die within us, that the blind holding on to high motives may be regarded as folly, that the crushing materialism may over-whelm us.—C. C. Dunlap, Kansas. THE SQUARE The square is one of the most important and significant symbols in Freemasonry, and as such it is proper that its true form should be preserved. Our French brethren have almost universally given it one leg longer than the other (as was frequently the case in the country in the last century,) thus making it a carpenter's square. It is also often unnecessarily marked with inches, as an instrument for measuring, which it is not. It is simply the trying square of a stone mason, and has a plain surface, the sides or legs embracing an angle of 90 degrees and is intended only to test the accuracy of the sides of a stone, and to see that its edges subtend the same angle. In Freemasonry it is a symbol of morality. This is its general signification, and is applied in several ways: (1). It presents itself to the neophyte as one of the three great lights; (2). to the F. C. as one of his working tools; (3). to the M. M. as the official jewel of the master of the lodge. Everywhere it inculcates the same lesson of morality; of truthfulness and honesty. So universally accepted is the symbolism that it has gone outside our order, and is found in colloquial language communicating the same idea. As a Masonic symbol it is of very ancient date, and was familiar to the operative Masons. In the year 1830 the architect, Brother Payne, in rebuilding a very ancient bridge, called Baal's Bridge, near Limerick, in Ireland, found under the foundations an old brass square much corroded, containing on its two surfaces the inscription, "I will strive to live with love and care upon the level by the square," with the date, 1517. The discovery shows that the teaching of our old operative brethren was identical with the speculative application of the working tools of the modern craft.—Mackey. SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1912 Musical Festival Elaborate Program Prepared—New Pipe Organ to be Unveiled Monday Night—Elks to Attend in Body—Free Concert Monday The elaborate musical festival, which St. Philip's church, West Broad and Charles streets, has been getting up for the past three weeks, will begin on next Monday afternoon at four o'clock. On the afternoon of the opening day of the musical there will be a concert in the church for school children. A special program, featuring musical selections which are, especially pleasing to children, has been arranged for this performance and undoubtedly the attendance will be very large. There will be no admission charged. Monday evening will be the real opening of the five night musical for the older folks and the program of the evening comprises many interesting features. There will be in attendance on this evening the local order of Ells, Weldon Lodge, in a body. The order expects to be out in full strength and its appearance in the church will lend much dignity to the evening. The unveiling of the new pipe organ will also take place on the opening night of the musical. The new organ, which has been installed at a cost of $25000.00, has been the means of attracting much attention, and though it has been heavily veiled ever since it was set up many persons passing the church and hearing its beautiful tones as it was being played by the gentleman who is to render the solos on it during the week, stopped and dropped in for a few moments to satisfy their curiosity as whence came the sweet music. Each night of the musical will have its special features but the large chorus which is now in training will appear on all the programs. It will render jubilee songs and plantation melodies. The chorus is in charge of Prof. B. H. Hogan, who will not only direct the work, but will preside at the organ on all solo work. As was stated last week, the promoters are getting out a beautiful twenty-page program which will tell of the features to be had each night of the musical. These programs will probably be distributed to-morrow. The work on the church is being rushed with all possible haste and it is hoped that there will not be very much left unfinished when the opening day of the musical arrives. The structure, which has been erected at a cost of $40,000, is one of the most beautiful church edifices in the south and when completed will be a shining mark among the beautiful buildings of the city. The wood-work is finished in—well why describe it when everybody will visit it during some one night of the week's performances. Admission, exception Monday afternoon which is for the children and is free, is fifteen cents. Reserved seats twenty-five cents and season tickets fifty cents. Tickets may be secured at the church parsonage, the Savannah Pharmacy or the Pekin Cafe. Palen Memorial Church Installation services of the Epworth league of Palen Memorial Church, Rev. C. W. Prothro, pastor, took place on Thursday night before last. They were very interesting and largely attended. The following are the officers: Lucy Lovett, Ellen Grace, Mattie Auston, Thomas Cooper, Ella Battie, A. G. Clark and Frances Clark. State College Defeated By Palne Institute On Friday week the Georgia State Industrial College was defeated in Augusta by Paine Institute by a score of 14 to 6. The game was a very interesting one and was largely attended. First Congregational Sacred Concert CHOIR TO BE AT ITS BEST TOMORROW NIGHT Very Pleasing Program to be Rendered—Several Beautiful Solos to be Heard—Large Crowd Expected Out—Usual Evening Services Omitted. The annual recital of the choir of the First Congregational Church will be held on tomorrow evening at eight o'clock. An elaborate program has been prepared for the evening and undoubtedly many beautiful selections will be heard. The members of the choir have been practicing for the affair for some time and are all in very good voice. The choir is considered to be one of the best in the city and tomorrow night's program will be very pleasing. The recital of last year is still delightfully remembered by those who were fortunate enough to get seats on this occasion and it is expected that on tomorrow night the church will be crowded. The regular evening services of the church will, of course, be dispensed with so that the entire evening may be given over to the recital. The following is the program to be rendered: Voluntary Hymn—"Oh for a thousand tongues to sing" Call to Worship Doxology I was glad when they said unto me Shout the Glad Tidings Scripture Reading Emanuel shall come Beyond the Smiling (Memorial) Solo—Selected Address Duett—Selected The Lord of Life is Risen I shall be Satisfied Solo—Selected God is my strong Salvation I will bless the Lord Awake my soul to joyful Lays Benediction Court Would Not Grant Injunction. Savannah, Ga., Nov. 5th, 1912. Editor of The Tribune. My DEAR SIR: -I trust you will not think me imposing on you to ask you to make this statement through your paper. As a matter of fact I feel that the contents will be of benefit to a number of your readers. Further, I believe that not only the public but you as a loyal citizen and christian gentleman would be proud for a bit of information, coming from the Mt. Zion Baptist Church. You have a knowledge of the stigma that impeded her progress for about sixty days. I am now prepared to inform the public of the fact that by the hands of the Almighty God the great clouds were cleared away, by the Superior Court Oct. 26. And I wish to say further that under the leadership of our pastor, he trusting in God, and our counsel, in the person of Col. H. W. Johnson, he having the true and authorized document of the church, and under the gentleman whose choice is the people of the Eastern Judicial Court, in the person of Judge Charlton, the battle was fought and the victory won, giving the pastor and trustees full power to go ahead and do the biddings of the church. Now where do we stand? Ready to sell the old church site and ready to purchase a new one and, in this, carrying out the wishes of our people. Now, dear readers, in conclusion let me say, right here as a matter of fact, it was proven a false accusation on the part of those men that tried to impede the progress of the church of God simply because they were ousted by their scheme that has been operating for a number of years by them. I wish to say again to the public, those men have been dealt with in our regular conference according to the Baptist discipline and were given the full penalty of the law which was to disqualify them as officers and members of Mt. Zion Baptist Church. They and their followers are not any more connected with the said church. Thanking you sincerely in advance, I am yours for the cause. L. L. James, Jr. Church Clerk. An Open Letter to the Colored Citizens of Savannah. Next Tuesday, November 12th, the citizens of Savannah will be called on to vote for or against the Commission Form of Government for the city of Savannah. Hence I feel it my duty to call the attention of the 800 Colored voters of the city of Savannah to what I regard as a very serious matter. In the act authorizing this Commission Form of Government it is true there is no mention made of a White Primary for city officers under this Commission Form of Government but by the very special language in the bill authorizing this, it is made possible to have a white primary in which no Negro voter will be allowed to participate. This seems to me to be immensely unfair and a direct reflection on the intelligence, civic pride and standing of the Negroes of Savannah. It may be that this Commission Form of Government will be authorized by a majority of the voters of the citizens of Savannah. Let this be as it will. It is certainly the duty under the circumstances, of every single colored man who is registered, to vote against it. I sound this note of warning to the colored preachers and colored professional men of the city of Savannah that it is their duty to see to it that the full registered vote of the colored citizens of Savannah be deposited against this bill. Once more' the Negroes of Savannah are called upon to play the part of men. Can you and will you do it? Let me insist and beg that you meet this issue like men. Respectfully. A. L. Tucker. Savannah Home Association Electric Solice. On next Tuesday night, November 12th, the Savannah Home Association will entertain its friends with an Electric Soiree at the Masonic Temple. It is the first of its kind to be given in the city and will undoubtedly prove interesting and enjoyable to all who attend. It is useless to go into details as to the amount of pleasure that will be dispensed at this entertainment, for the mere fact that the reputation of this Association for giving classy and enjoyable events is well known to the public. Should an invitation not reach you don't feel slighted. Come, you are a guest and we will assure you that your company will be much appreciated. Watch for our souvenir feathers on the streets. Have one placed upon you. Its a novelty. Chapel of The Immaculate Sunday Nov. 10, Mass and sermon at 10 a.m. and Sunday school at 11 a.m. Father Dahlent will preach a special sermon on the Gospel of the Day; "The parable of the Cockle" Matt xiii The school continues to keep up a splendid attendance The children, under the care of their devoted teachers, like the school, and for this reason, the attendance is so regular. In the classroom it is all hard work and on the large play grounds it is all cheerful recreation. The monthly report for October was most satisfactory. A protracted illness is still, keeping Father Obrecht in his native country in Germany. Last week we had the visit of Father Lissner, who is most enthusiastic about the new Mission in Atlanta. The new school and church are completed and will be solemnly dedicated on Oct. 24th. St. Benedict's choir and some of the prominent members of the Parish will go to Atlanta for the dedication, which promises to be one of the most imposing celebrations ever held under the auspices of the Catholic church for the colored people of Georgia. F. B. B. Church. P. B. B. Church. On Sunday morning, Rev. Wright, accompanied by some of his friends from the city, drove out to Nicholsonville where he conducted the services at the Nicholsonboro Baptist Church They spent a pleasant and profitable day The residents are always glad to welcome strangers and make preparations to receive them At night there was a large crowd present. Rev. Wright read for the lesson Col. 3:1-18. His text was from St. John 6:45. After preaching a sermon that apparently told each individual his duty, he related several lessons of warning to the young. He spoke forcibly of their haughtiness and disrespect, especially to their parents. We are always glad to see you. Come at any time. Deaths Mrs. Leonie Ashton Green, wife of Mr. Joseph H. Green, 506 Park avenue, east, died yesterday morning about 7 o'clock. The funeral services will probably take place tomorrow afternoon from St. Stephen's Episcopal church. Mr. T. H. Thomas of West End was called to the Macon on Friday of last week, to the bedside of his mother, Mrs. Nancy Thomas, who died Sunday afternoon and was buried on Monday. Mrs. Thomas leaves a husband, one son, four daughters and other relatives to mourn her death. NUMBER 8 Annual Statement Wage Earners. Annual Statement Wage Earners. SHOWS GREAT INCREASE IN BUSINESS Combined Assets at End Fiscal Year Over Two Hundred Thousand Dollars. Pioneer Negro Banking Institution The recent statement issued by the Wage Earners Loan and Investment Company is very interesting and tells of the wonderful growth of the company since its establishment in 1900. The Wage Earners was the first Negro banking institutions to be established in this state and has made very rapid progress during its twelve years of existence. The finances of the institution are in very good condition and at the end of this fiscal year it was found that the combined assets were $214,239.09. The following shows the growth of the business of the institution: COMBINED ASSETS AT THE END OF EACH PERCAL YEAR business) RESOURCES Loans Outstanding $158,591.38 Real Estate and In- vestments 38,206.88 Office Furniture and Fixtures 767.71 Building Fund 3,000.00 Cash 13,673.12 Total $214,239.09 LIABILITIES Capital Paid in $ 40,574.10 Reserve and Undi- vided Profits 30,725.14 Deposits 117,670.95 Dividends Unpaid 268.90 Bills Payable 25,000.00 Total $214,239.09 At the annual meeting, of the stockholders on Monday night, the old board of directors was unanimously re-elected.

Atlanta Baptist College 89 Marcis Brown College 9 MORRIS BROWN College 6 The heavy Atlanta Baptist College team defeated Morris Brown College in Atlanta last Saturday by one of the largest scores ever piled up in a foot ball game in this state. The score was 89 to 0. The heavy backs of the Baptist College tore through Morris Brown line at will. The Baptist College and Atlanta University will meet to-day in Atlanta and the game is attracting much interest, although it is conceded that the former will probably win. Second Baptist Church. There was a large crowd out on Sunday morning to listen to the discourse delivered by the pastor. Text was "If I put off my coat how shall I put it on." He handled his subject in a masterly way. At night his text was "I have no cloak for my sins." The public is cordially invited to attend the services. Interesting subjects are discussed by the B. Y.-P. U., on Wednesday nights at 8:30 p. m. Record Attendance At Pekin This Week Record breaking crowds have been attending the Pekin theater this week, the star attraction being the Griffin sisters. Up to Thursday night the attendance for the week surpassed even that of the anniversary week of the house last year when it did the biggest business in its history. The vaudeville bill has been increased and several very catchy turns are being put on. Should the attendance be as large on to-night as it has been during the preceding nights of the week, it will reach a mark which probably will stand as record for some time to come. ee | TINOPLEAT | THE MORNIN MERGY OF ALLIES = Si sy Bate coos rump te sal) te pe pie 7] _(AFTERTHE GREAT JUMP| a3" > Aes “4 : ig Battle Ends In Triumph f Co wa P Lt CY TELL YOU * § V Hustled for the First Time in Hi sivo cheerfulness a epecial very : : » me in His| erfulness a special 5 z ¢ : fee eee Iter it we trom He The ternal ‘ es : li Be kept her true to fea yy LOUISE M without the bat td A Be Spe oe |All But woof 87 children ae wb te RIFEILD. {tm why. tc tte At rought to Safety. _imet swatened the tet vmorning |, tare you fou with a most Tiiusual feeling of happt.| 2.

Great Turkleh Army Of 200,000 ‘Men Defeated and Routed—Unexpected Climax Of One Of the Most, Re- markable Ware On Record. THE POWERS PREPARING : TO ACT. Eurapean governments reported to have reached a tentative agree- ment for intervention. The powers will not tolerate the entry of Bulgarian or any other Balkan troops into Constantinople. The second division of the fly- ing squadron of the French fleet sailed from Toulon to the Syrian coast to protect French and foreign interests, Great Britain has dispatched a warship to Salonika for protectién of British life and property. Sir Edward Grey, British foreign minister, announced in the House of Commons that soon as the sit- uation permitted the powers wauld take steps to establish peace. The danger of antl-foreign dis- turbances and perhaps massacres of foreigners in Constantinople and Salonika following the Turk- ish defeat and the ingress into those towns of the demoralized Turkish soldiery has attracted at- tention of the powers. — ' + London. — A four-day battle in Thrace has ended in the triumph of the Bulgarian commiander-in-chief, General Savoff, whose skilful strategy has probably brought to a close one of the shortest and most remarkable wars on record. A great Turkish army, estimated at more than 200,000 men, has been de feated and is in retreat. Constantt. nople is belleved to be at the mercy of the victorious Bulgarian army, and a council, sitting at the Porte, Is dis- cussing the advisability of suing \for peace. J Such is the news which comes from Constantinople. It is only a fortnight since Turkey declared war. The first week, of the campaign closed with the dramatic fall of Kirk- lisseh, fully revealing for the first time the disorganization, bad morale and inefficient commis. sariat of the Turkish army. Today that army {s defeated, routed within 50 miles from Constantinople, and possibly its retreat within the capl- tal's line of defense is cut off. Nazim Pasha, the Turkish minister of war and chief in command in Thrace, has been elther shot or taken prisoner, according to a dispatch from Sofia to the Post. Only the briefest and vaguest ac- counts of the great battle have yet been received, for the war has been especially remarkable in that not a single war correspondent has been allowed at the front except in the case of the little Montenegrin campaish against Scntari. ‘Thus no independent personal nar- ratives of the absorbing events have been possible, and the world has had to depend on biased official accounts provided by the respective govern- ments or confused details supplied by wounded soldiers. It is believed a peace settlement will be grranged either by the Porte suing for peace or through interven- tian of the anwar: NEW YORK LAUNCHED.

Husband Of General Grant's Daugh- ter Dentes Story. New York—It was most emphatic- ally denied in Chicago by Frank H. Jones, husband of Mrs, Nellie Grant, daughter of General U. S. Grant, that his wife had lost a $25,000 emerald ring, a gift of the Japanese Mikado to her father. Mrs. Jones did, however, lose a ring valued at $5,000 In this city about six months ago. But it was a wedding present and there was no historic value attached to it. NEW AVIATION RECORD, Walter Johnson, With Passenger, In Air Nearly Four Hours. .

GIRL SLAIN IN GHICAGO Her Fiance Released, But Under’ Surveillance. Chicago.—Murdered on the eve of her wedding, the dead body of Miss Sophia G. Singer, a member of a prominent Baltimore family, * was found early Tuesday morning in her room in a Chicago lodging-house. That the crime was planned care fully and arranged as to detail was proven by the brutal methods employ- ed in killing the young woman and the position of the body wiien it was found. Miss Singer's skull was fractured from the force of a blow inflicted with a door-knob, slung in a handkerchief. A handkerchief, saturated with chloro- form, was found stuffed in her mouth, with a towel bound round the lower portion of her face to keep it from fall- ing from its position. When the door leading to her room was burst open by other boarders in the house Miss Singer’s body was in an upright position on a chair and was enveloped from head to foot with a bed comfort. Her entire body was bound with heavy cord. Several deep gashes were found on her head. William R. Warthen, formerly a street car conductor in Baltimore, who was also stopping at the board- ing-house, on Indiana avenue, Chicago, and who said he was to have married ‘Miss Singer Monday afternon, was ar- rested by the police in connection with the murder. After keeping him in cus- tody for several hoiirs, however, and getting a statement from him, Warth- en was released. He is being kept under careful surveillance, however, in the hopes that he may lead the police to the present hiding plac of Conway and his wife. SOLDIERS IN WRECK.

Toronto, Ont—The Chicago Ex- press on the Grand Trunk Railway was In collision with a special train bringing a regiment of infantry to this city from a sham battle. Two privates of the Twenty-eighth Highlanders were killed and 36 persons injured, ac- cording to late reports. The collision occured near Streetsville. SISTERS DIE 10 SAE ORPHANS PLUNGE INTO FIERY RUINS. Herole Work Of Nuns Saves 85 In- mates Of .St, John's Orphan- 3 age, _ San Antonlo, Texac., San Antonlo.—Six Sisters of Char- ity of the Incarnate Word gave up thelr lives to save the children in- trusted to their care, when St. John’s Orphanage ‘was swept by fire. One orphan, a 12-year-old boy, met death, while another, about 3 years old, is missing. Two women employes of the institution are injured seriously, but may recover, But for the heroic self-sacrifice of the nuns many more of the children would have died in the building, which had been considered a fire trap. There were 87 inmates of the orphanage, ranging between the ages of 2 and 12. To the thirst which comes to chil- dren in the night some little anes at- tribute their escape. A little fellow named “Billy,” according to a small survivor, awoke with the desire for a drink of water uppermost in his mind, He saw the fire and smoke and, thought he was dreaming; then he realized what was happening and aroused the Sisters and his little com- rades with his cries. It was following this the meek-eyed Sisters of Charity demonstrated what lion hearts beat beneath their sombre garb. - The death of each of the sisters was directly due to their various ef- forts to save two missing ‘children. After it appeared that all the orphans had been led from the burn- ing building, the nuns discovered that two babies were unaccounted for. They continued their search uritil sate egress was cut off, excqpt in the case of the mother superior, who, after reaching a place of safety avent back into the burning building to try to save the child whose frightened face appeared through the smoke at q win- dow. Three Sisters escaped. Instructed to pilot the first column of frightened children out of danger, they gained the ground in time to escape the crash of falling walls. MRS. CLEVELAND TO WED. Announcement Of Engagement To College Professor. Princeton, N, J.—Mrs. Grover Cleve. jand authorizes the announcement of her engagement to Thomas Joseph Preston, professor of Archaeology and History of Arts at Wells College. No date has as yet been set for the wedding. Mrs. Cleveland {s a graduate of Wells College and has been a trustee of that institution since 1887. Her wedding to President Grover Cleve- land, which took place in the execu- tive mansion during his first adminis- pration, was one of the notable ‘events in the history of the White House. Her father, Oscar Folsom, was a law partner of Mr. Cleveland,’who, upon Mr. Folsom's death in 1875, became Frances Folsom’s guardian, After his retirement from the prest- dency Mr. Cleveland made his per- manent home in Princeton and Mrs. Cleveland has continued to reside there since the former president died in 1908. Her two daughters, Esther and Marion, and her son, Richard F., are living with her -here. The announcement of the engage. ment was made by President John Grier Hibben, of Princeton University, who said: 2 “Professor Preston is 50 years of age. He fs a graduate of Princeton and one whom we hold in very high @steem.” INCOME TAX AMENDMENT. Thirty-Two States Of the Union Have Ratified It. Washington. — Thirty-two states have notified Secretary Knox of their ratification of the proposed income tax amendment to the federal Con- stitution and four have notified the State Department of their rejection. To become effective 36 states—three fourths in the Union—must ratify. Those which have not notified the department of ratification or rejection are Delaware, Florida, Louisiana, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia and Wyoming. Connecticut, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Utah have notified of rejec- tion. ‘The last favorable report was re celved from Minnesota on June 12. BURNED AT ALTAR, Aged Woman Catches Fire While Kneeling In Devotion. “St. Paul, Minn.—Mrs. Johanna Me- Mann, 75 years old, was burned to death while kneeling in front of an altar erected near her’ bedside. The flame from’ one of the candles ignited her clothing. The woman was dead when members of the household enter- ed her room, having smelled smoke. AFTER THE GREAT JUMP Hustled for the First Time in His Life. with a most Unusual feeling of happl ness and even elation. Then he re membered. “He had jumped the last fence the night before. Elght years of bachelorhood, eight years of soli¢ single comfort with all thelr warn: ings and lessona"had gone up Ike a puff of smoke! “Letters, sir, and shall I raise the shades?” Peters recalled him. It gave bim mastery over himself, the self he bad ‘always relied on, even to hear Peters’ voice at his pillow, for Peters went with all individuality which had turn- ed a complete cosmic handspring 60 to speak, under the glamour of Guen Waring’s presence. “Yes, Peters, do.” Garret reached for the letters eagerly. Perhaps sho had written since the night before. Sometimes they changed their minds most impetuously, he had understood, and used speci@ delivery stamps. His mouth widened in a slow smile of deadly amusement. Oh, yes, he knew the usual rules of the game, but not when it was played “for keeps,” as the children say. She had listened to him in silence. What hod she weighed in the balance during that silence?—her own depth of love or his? And she had not an- swered his question, merely told him he might call the next morning. After his cold shower and coffee, he took a photograph of her from a lock- ed drawer, and set it up before him while “he smoked, leaning back in a chair, hands in his pockets. His sls- ter had sent him it while he was abroad. “I want you to love Guen Waring,” she had written him. “She Is the only woman I want for a sfsterinlaw. She 1s absolutely bully.” Later Kit had’ specified reasons, aft- er his return. “But I don’t want to marry any- body.” 5 “You wil as soon as you have met Guen.” “I wouldn't marry a New York girl—" : “She isn't. She was born in Paris, brought up in California, and has lived In Italy since she was seven- teeh. Can you beat it?” Kit bad a provoking dimple and side glance that probed straight to one’s inner weaknesses. Garret sparred for time. “I don't care to be caught.” “Any fish can be hooked with the bait most sulted to’ fits pecullar tem- perament! “What's my bait?” Garret grinned at her lazily. Kit looked serfous. “I think sin- cerity, Garret. You have tried about everything else—haven't ‘you?—beau- ty, sweet disposition, magnetic tem- perament, fortune, individuality—* “Quit.” interposed Garret peevishly. “No fair keeping tab. What's my fu- ture wife's specialty?” “She's just herself, and*men like her. She has you all ticketed and classified and tabulated and indexed, and nearly all filled. Some she keeps at hand for reacy reference.” 1 “She'll not keep me at hand for ready reference.” Kit had laughed, and patted his head as {f he had been a surly col- le. “She will do just exactly as she thinks best with you, dear.” And ehe had. He remembered the look in Kit’s teasing eyes this morn- Ing, curfously enough, the morning after he had asked Guen Waring to be his wife. She had not seemed surprised nor embarrassed, yet he had experienced both emotions most unexpectedly, surprise at finding himself of guard, embarrassment as he heard himself stammering lke any cub as he tried to tell this woman he loved her. “Guen, Msten. I—I when can I see you? Will you be my wife?” She had stared at him in frank as- tonishment, her dark eyes almost full of sudden pain. “Do you only care that way about me? I thought we were pals.” “You understand that I am asking you to be my wife?” “Of course.” impatiently; “but you might ar any woman to be that” “I nefer asked any other.” “Hurry. We will be late.” He barred the way doggedly. “When can I see you?" “Tomorrow morning if you Ike. Hurry.” “Nine forty-five, sir,” sald Peters, gently. . “Coll a taxi for ten-thirtv” We ee SaReeeaees oe See letter. It was from her. The eternat feminine hed kept her true to her or- bit. Escape she might from him, but not without the sattstaction of telling him why. “My Dear: Garret: “Have you found me out by this time, I wonder? At first—last night, I mean—I thought the early morning test would be simple enough. I never take advantage of a,remark made be- tween dinner and breakfast. The’ world is all moonshine and enchat- ment then, and no one is responsible ‘for what he says. Last night you told me—several things. Aren't.you sorry you said them now? You felt the touch of my hand on your head, and thought that I expected you to follow the lead. Wrong, sir. And be- cause I like you very, very much, ang wish to retain your friendship, I am sailing this morning with the Ashleys. Won't you write me at Colon? We are to cruise for a month, I understand, and then go to Florida. “Sincerely, “GUEN WARING.” Garret smiled grimly. On the table among his mail lay a letter from Tony Ashley, asking him to join the party. It had lain there for a week, unanswered. He had told Tony dur- ing the interim to leave the invita- tlon open, as he might be able to go. And she had accepted without him, gone for a month's sail through the Antilles, knowing he could not reach her. While Peters packed™ a suitcase. Garret called up ker home again. “What time did you say Miss Waring left for the yacht?” “about half after seven, sir.” “And do you know where the yacht’s motor boat is docking? Ob, yes. Thank you.” ~ It appeared that the last of the party had left at nine on the motor boat, the yacht was on her way out to sea. For the first time in bis life Garret hustled. He ordered a tug to meet him, and raced in the taxi to the dock, Standing out on the tug's narrow deck nosjng up the incoming tide, he felt a joyous reckless exhilaration he had never known before. The woman he desired above all others had challeng- ed him and he was pursuing her. Somewhere just out beyond the Nar rows, was the “Alulette” with Tony Ashley’s party aboard, and Guen im- agining that she was out of reach. “Make it before twelve, won't you, Captain?” The captain pointed out over Grave- send Bay as they slipped past the forts. A handsbreadth in the horizon from Sea Gate was a white yacht steaming out to sea. “There she scuds, sir. We'll ball her in fifteen minutes.” Guen leaned back in her steamer chair, her cap dropped on the deck be- side her, the wind rippling her hair Into little crisp curls. She had a headache, and would try to sleep it off befcre luncheon, she had told the others. Watching the vague shore Ine and racing waves between, she thought of Garret. Why, why, when all her life's happiness hung on his mood, had she had the courage to run awey? He would call her up. shrug his shoulders, order his break- fast, and feel he had done all a rea- sonable fate could expect of him. Kit had told her every little char- acteristic, every little fault long be fore he had réturned from abroad. A woman with charm, tact and “perse- verance could persuade Garret to marry her, Kit had assured her, if only she might catch him unawares, off guard. And Guen had determmed that never would she take a pro- posal of marriage from him for granted, he should have every cour- tesy, every chance to escape. She would throw him back in the water. And yet—his eyes as he had knelt there for that moment In the seml- gloom of the box, the grip of his hand over hers! - “ The tug whistled astern. She stood up feeling the yacht.slacken speed, and saw Garret standing on the tug’s deck. ‘He was smiling up at Tony and the others, crowding the port rail. * ‘We thought you weren't coming. old “fellow,” calléd Tony, cheerily. “Jove, this Is..great.

Lelsurely and without embarrassment Garret came aboard, She saw him laughingly greet the crowd, bend low over her moth- er’s hand, and move towards her. “Good morning.” She flashed a quick look of ques- tioning defiance at him. “[ didn’t think you had it in you, Garret.” Garret deliberately took her two hands in his. “You told me to call this morning, dear. As we were saying last night—” “Give me my hands. The rest are looking.” “Guen when will you marry me?" “To hire that tug. and deliberately chase me—" “You ran away. Don't pull. I won't let go until you answer. When?” Guen’s face was flushed. Tony had delicately and understandingly con- centrated the attention of the’ party on the antics of the retreating tug. “It's five minutes of twelve. Sure- ly a man may be expected to know his own mind when it is five minutes of twelve and he 1s half starved. Guen, will you?” i Guen’s dark eyes wavered before his gaze. “You hurt me, please.

ORDAINED MINISTER GUARDS LARGE OFFICE BUILDINGS. The Rev. H. R. Hurtt Also Has Two Sons on Duty With Him and Expects to Celebrate His Golden Jubilee. Baltimore, Md.—Perhaps the wedding of Herman L. Majors and Margaret Concannon, while Elmer L. Shea, the loser, sat disconsolate in the extreme other end of town the other day, was one of the most interesting events in the life of Rev. F. R. Hurtt, the Luzerne avenue preacher who tied the knot; and then again perhaps it wasn't. One time, not so long ago, Rev. Mr. Hurtt was walking by Cole & Gilpin's place of business when he saw lights inside. Following the lead of an open door he went in, and there were two sure-enough, regular dare-devil burglar ransacking the place. "What are you doing there?" the preacher demanded. There were some introductory interchanges and then came a fight. The preacher tussled all over the place, but two to one was too many and the burglar's got away. The preacher spent three days in bed with a cracked chin and bruised face, and later the burglar's were rounded up and both sent to the penitentiary. Now Rev. Mr. Hurtt was not interfering with burglars in his ecclesiastical role—not at all. On the contrary, that was his profession, for he and his two sons—William D. and F. R. Hurtt Jr.—are by calling watchmen, and they carry the keys of many of the big downtown buildings, including those of the Stock Exchange. "For forty-five years I've been a watchman," said the preacher-sleuth. "It was in 1867 I started the business, and now my sons and I watch more buildings and guard more valuable things, perhaps, than any private watchmen in the business. Preaching? Oh, yes; I'm a busy preacher, too. "I was ordained at Caroline Street Methodist church 25 years ago as an elder, and with all the powers of a clergyman. I have a little church of my own, where I preach every Sunday—Christian Union church, it is called, on Philadelphia avenue near Hare street; and we have quite a nice little congregation. Last month I preached twice at Caroline Street church. I've performed about 75 marriages and have officiated at lots of funerals. How many? Oh, I don't know. I've christened, married and buried clients." But his watchman activity is the real one, after all, for it's every day the year through. He doesn't look like a bad man physically. He is around 70, gray and nervously active. The scar on his chin where the burglar hit him flashes red when he is flushed. He had to be fighting to get that. "I've been in many a fight," he said. "The only way to take a man is to go right in and take him, and if he fights—the only way is to stay there and fight. If, in the mercy of God, I'm living five years from now, we are going to hold a great celebration of my fifteenth anniversary as a watchman. Then, perhaps, I will tell stories of my experiences—but not now." "Why is a watchman?" Mr. Hurtt rubbed the scar on his chin. "Why is a watchman?" he repeated. "Well, I'll tell you. We have today a better police force than we ever had. But a policeman cannot carry keys to buildings, go through them, have access to every part of them and devote his time to them. He must pound his beat. That is why a watchman." And he went away to resume his occupation of keeping his eye on alley windows and shifting shadows. COPS NAB SLEEP-WALKER Young Woman, Clad In Dainty Pa-jamas, Found Wandering on Streets of Brooklyn. Brooklyn, N. Y.—Clad in dainty pa-jamas, her long hair streaming down her back and her bare feet beating the pavement in a quick tattoo, Miss Ella Skidmore of 109 Halsey street, was found early the other day three blocks from her home by Policeman Peter Horan of the Gates avenue station. Instead of stopping her at once he followed her for about 100 yards before he became convinced that she was walking in her sleep. Stripping off his coat, he threw it around her shoulders and took her into the home of a friend near where he had found her. Here she was attended by Dr. Poole, of Saint John's hospital, and then taken to her home, where she lives with her parents and sisters. She was none the worse for her experience. Her parents did not know of her absence from the house until the policeman tapped at the door and handed the shivering Miss Skidmore over to them. All the doors were found to be locked and how she got into the street in her pajamas is still a mystery. When Horan touched her arm she awoke with a start. She was shivering with the cold when taken indoors and was unable to offer any explanation of her strange conduct other than that she was walking in her sleep, something she said she had never done before. Miss Skidmore is a teacher in a Manhattan kindergarten school. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Memphis, the county seat of Shelby county, Tennessee, founded in 1826 and chartered as a city in 1849, called the Bluff City, 109 miles west of Nashville, is one of the chief commercial cities of the south and one of the most important cotton markets in the United States. The growth of this city, both in population and commerce, has been remarkable. The population has grown from less than 9,000 in 1850, to 131,105 in 1910. There are only five cities in the United States that have larger negro populations than Memphis. The last census shows negro population in six cities as follows: Washington, D.C., 94,446; New York, 91,702; New Orleans, 89,262; Baltimore, 84,749; Philadelphia, 84,459; Memphis, 52,441. There are in Shelby county, however, between 90,000 and 100,000. The new union depot which cost five million dollars, with equal accommodations for both races, the imposing sky-scrapers, the beautifully shaded and paved streets, the costly residences, the 1,000 acres of lovely public parks, the junction of several great railroads, the trolley cars threading the avenues in every direction, the numerous factories, public buildings, costly and spacious churches, add to the charm of this most wonderful southern city, situated on the great "Father of Waters." The spirit of progress is contagious. The colored people of this city have caught the spirit. Many of them have made good. They have been helped and encouraged by their white neighbors. This is very gratifying. As evidence of the material advancement, it is interesting to note that the value of the output of the various manufacturing establishments in Memphis has grown from a little more than one and a half million dollars in 1850 to over thirty million dollars in 1912, an increase of two thousand per cent. The negro's best friends are found in the south. Here is an instance: In Judge Miller's court room the other day a negro youth was tried on the charge of theft. His employer, a well-known Dallas woman who is prominent in social circles, believed him innocent. The evidence was entirely circumstantial. She saw that the boy had a good lawyer and she appeared as a witness in his behalf. The jury heard her story and promptly acquitted the negro, for the 12-men were fair-minded southerners who believe in giving the negro with a good record the benefit of the doubt. There is no blind prejudice against the black in the south. There is no race problem here, because the south is not careless in its social relations. The negro finds his real haven of refuge in Dixieland where he can always get a job, a square meal and a square deal. He knows the people are not his pretended friends when he tries to do right, and that they will fight for him when he is unjustly treated.—Dallas Times-Herald. Christian philosophy was designed from the beginning to keep the children of the woman and the sons of the man in their proper relation to one another in the home, the church and the state, so that the human race might be perpetuated, as the races before the Christian era were not. The thoughtful women of the negro race should study this matter. What the race needs are men, and it can't have them if the negro women follow their white sisters out of the home and family making into the world of affairs where they must cease to be women and cannot be men—New York Age. The ancient Guild of Spectacle Makers is numerically one of the strongest of London companies. Its charter dates from the year 1629, and though the exact date of its origin is lost, there is ample evidence that the calling of spectacle maker was extensively followed at a very early date. An old book of 1563 mentions the spectacle makers among other traders, and the biography of Carl Zeno, an illustrious Venetian, who died in 1418, mentions that even at the age of eighty-four he needed no artificial aids to his sight. So presumably spectacles were common in Italy five centuries ago. At Seattle Doctor Crichton has ordered the use of Puget sound sea water to lay the dust and flush the streets. "Salt water is one of the best germicides in the world," says Doctor Crichton. "Sea water contains several grains of chloride of sodium to the gallon, and within a few days the city's streets will become white with sodium chloride' and the action of the sun's rays on this will produce chloride gas, one of the very best disinfectants known to science." The Philadelphia Traction company has been experimenting with women conductors, in order to minimize the trouble it has with men and to reduce the cost of operating expenses. If the experiment succeeds the men conductors will have to go, as the ticket sellers have gone, and the motormen will be in danger of losing their jobs. After a woman has been a trolley car conductor for a month who would have her for a wife? The ages of woman masculinity and rule have always been the death ages of man femininity and rule. The average Chinaman knows how to keep silent when everybody else is talking. The average négro knows how to talk when everybody else is keeping silent. The two attitudes are not the same. The Chinaman learns a great deal by keeping his mouth shut and the negro forgets a great deal by keeping his mouth open. What a man learns and what a man forgets are not the same. Dr. Sun-Yat-Sen, who did so much to make the Chinese Republic possible, and was its provisional president, has been silent for months while the press of the world was trying to make it appear that the Chinese republic was on the verge of disruption because Dr. Sen and President Yuan Shi-kal were at loggerheads over everything. Dr. Sen now breaks his silence in a Nankin interview to the New York Sun to declare that, personally, his relations with the president are cordial, and that their differences as to public policy and questions are only such as exist between statesmen in all countries who work together for the common welfare. He says: "I believe I can safely say that upon one matter of first importance all the leaders in China are of one mind: The best good of the country. As to how this may be attained is quite another matter, but we are all striving and working for the meritorious and noble end." No one thinks of a civil war in the United States simply because Mr. Taft, Mr. Wilson and Mr. Roosevelt do not agree upon matters of public policy. Each of these gentlemen is certainly a true American and a patriot of a very high order. Yet there are—if my knowledge of American affairs is worthy—many great and vital issues upon which they disagree totally. May it not be so in China?—New York Age. "Negro Year Book"—whoever heard of such a thing? "Annual Encyclopedia of the Negro"—whoever thought of devoting a whole volume of a year book and encyclopedia to any single race of people? Here it is, however, and it comes from Tuskegee. No one claims to have shown originality in thinking of it. It bears the name of Monroe N. Work, "In charge of research and records." Out of these records, at first only of the students and graduates of Tuskegee, and then of the negro population, this first of all race books seems to have grown. Behind a desk of the Chicago Theological seminary 14 years ago a young negro student, Work by name, sat for three years. With plodding persistence he studied and struggled his way through to graduation. Ever loyal to his race, he eagerly learned all he could from them and the whites how to help them help themselves. He began at the beginning in looking about him here in Chicago, to find out what the actual conditions of his people were. In the south he continued to look for facts on which to base the means and plans which Tuskegee and other schools for life and work were devising and carrying out. And now from his card catalogue of "case records" and race facts comes this new and valuable attempt to register the progress of a race in this "Negro Year Book and Annual Encyclopedia." Although it is but a beginning, it is creditable enough to him and his people to mark an epoch in their hostory.—Tuskegee Student. A shy man will imitate the tactics of his older brother and wonder if that fellow meets with the same coolness. Five hundred Cuban negrões captured in the late uprising in the province of Oriente have been rounded up in the jails of Havana for safe keeping, as the other jails are already overcrowded. The Latin people like to play at revolution, and those who succeed fare sumptuously for a season, while those who fall, if captured, are very sure of having their heads cut off. If the Latin-American people should spend one-half the time in building up their governments that they do in striving to tear them down they would be a great and progressive people. For example, Mexico has lost in the past twelve months of internecine war what she had gained in thirty years of domestic peace. President Diaz ruled with a strong hand for a long period of years, but under him Mexico was prosperous at home and had abundant credit abroad. If America's annual candy supply were loaded on one train there would be over 8,000 trucks full of boxes, buckets and glass jars. This load of sweetmeats for the sweet tooth of the American girls costs the consumers about $125,000,000 every year. The woman's work is essentially in the home. The home is the foundation upon which the Christian church and state are bullded. Destroy the Christian home by unsexing woman in her work and manners as wife and mother and daughter, and the underworld, the wolves and swine of the social order will rise up and sweep the Christian church and state from the map of the world. What then? The answer is to be found in the death of Egypt, Babylon, Carthage, Greece and Rome before the Christian era. Next Tuesday the election for the hanging of the charter of the city of Savannah for a Commission Form of Government takes place. This is a very important election, even as much so, if not more so than the selecting of city officials. This election should appeal to every colored voter especially, and for many reasons they should record their votes against the Commission form. Let us leave "well enough" alone, and stick to the kind of government with which we are acquainted and refrain from all new forms. Vote early against it. During the week we were very agreeably surprised with an advance copy of the Daily Promoter, Jacksonville, Fla. The Daily Promoter is a Negro paper and on or about November 27th will enter the journalistic field permanently. We feel very proud of this progress of Negro journalism. The task of putting out a daily paper is stupendous, but we feel that with proper management and adequate support the Daily Promoter will be a success. We congratulate the men behind this paper and wish them abundant success. The Negroes all over the country will look upon the advent of the Daily Promoter with much interest and pride and we trust that they will not step with words of encouragement but will give all the assistance possible to the encouragement of this worthy enterprise. The Presidential election of 1912 is now history. The great battle of ballots has taken place and the New Jersey governor has been returned the victor. The American people have expressed their choice of executive and for the next four years, the Democratic party will be the host of the nation. With no desire to "jump on the band wagon" at this time, we do not hesitate to express our disappointment at the result of the election. For a decade we have believed in, voted for and advocated the Republican party and its principles. We have believed that the Republican party was the party that had the interest of our people most at heart. True to our action of the past, last Tuesday found us voting and hoping for Republican success. However, this success failed to come and today we find the party of our choice not only void of its former strength and influence but sadly invested of its power. Today the party stands humiliated, but thanks to our Creator, not disgraced. The cause of the party's defeat is plain and self-evident. Internal dissention brought about by men high in the party's council but whose ambition caused them to subscribe to a rule or ruin policy, is the party's nemesis. And too, these men are those whose political ascendancy the party made possible. Oh! thou beseless ingratitude, thou who art the most besetting sin of man. Again thou showeth thy hideous face to the gaze of the people. Flushed with make-believe victory in the defeat of thy former friend and champion, the day is not far distant when you will be betrayed in your own house. That which you have meted out will be measured back to you. The Republican party is not dead. It is indeed far from this. The shades of the immortal Summer and Garrison and the sainted Lincoln will not permit it. Four years hence will find the Grand Old Party, with its ranks entirely freed from the association of its arrogant and unscrupulous menners, presenting itself a solid phalanx before the voters of the country. They will present their cause and they will be heard. God grant that we may live to see the day. In the midst of our present sorrow, however, over the defeat of our party, we like all true Americans, doff our caps to the victors and proffer to them our heart and hand in doing our humble share toward making our country's success the more marked. We appreciate the great intellectual ability and moral strength of President-elect Woodrow Wilson. In giving him to the country, we believe that the Democrats gave to us the best that was of them. As true American citizens, then regardless as to party affiliation it is our bounded duty to unite with other Americans in making our country a country of progress. The great battle of ballots has been fought, the victory has been won and acclaimed. It is then the duty of each one whether Republican, Progressive or Socialist to join the Democratic host of our country and help to make it, during the next four years, what it is distined to be the greatest and most liberal government on earth. Of the recent address of Judge Schwarz of the police court of Savannah, that was delivered a few Sundays ago to the members of the Negro Civic Improvement League, no part rang truer or had greater significance to the large and intelligent audience present than that part that brought out in bold relief the present disposition on the part of our people to air their differences and disputes and right their wrongs, no matter how trivial, in the courts. This observation of us coming as it does from a man whose daily occupation causes him to come in contact with those of our people who are at variance with each other, is worthy of our most earnest thought and consideration. That the above is one of the characteristic traits of our people, a visit to one of the parks of our city, at almost any time, will verify. It is indeed a fact that resists successful disputation that our people, when it comes to dealing with each other, are not as patient and tolerant as they ought be. It is charged (and sometimes rightly too) that we are more indulgent and forbearing, when it comes to matter of personal differences with any other people than with our own. Such a condition, without doubt, shows a miserable lack of race pride as well as a wholesale disregard of the Golden rule so far as applying it to ourselves is concerned. In our churches, in our lodges, in our societies and among individuals, we find that the tendency to go among each other with the proverbial chip on the shoulder, is still rampant among us—hence the constant need of legal regulation of our affairs and the needless expenditure of money in litigation suits. This proneness to take each other before legal authority on the least pretext, should be discouraged and wiped out from among us. We are at best still a poor people. We are still struggling to reach the top. And our struggle to reach the top will be far less difficult and prolonged if we cease fighting and vaporizing at each other without having just grounds for so doing. With our people as well as with any other people who may be living in this age of complex modern civilization, situations will certainly arise that will require adjustment in our courts. This is to be expected and we do not lose sight of the same. However, in the light of the present record of our courts we believe that these situations are too often born not of the existing state of affairs but of a desire to strike back or retaliate for a trifling wrong that may have been done to us. Our people must remember that in order for them to succeed that germ which causes one to love his people more than he does any other and become more tolerant to them than any other people and which is sometimes called race pride, must dwell within us. We must teach and preach to our people that to love a proneness to advertise to the world through the courts, our petty differences and disputes, is to cause the race to lose both credit and position with the people among whom we live. "Vengeance is mine, I will repay" saith the Lord. "If thy enemy hunger, feed him, if he thirst give him drink for in so doing thou shall heap coals of fire upon his head." So says the holy writ. Let us remember that and should our brother in black offend us, let us remember that he is our brother and that we are as duty bound to forgive him as we are to forgive any one else. Mr. John Jackson, one of the Blackshear farmers, was in the city spending two days last week. Evangelical Ministers' Union. The Evangelical Ministers' Union met Tuesday at 11 a. m., Rev. R. H.

Townsley; it was very inspiring. All ministers are invited to be out next Tuesday Social Happenings. The sadness of the evening hours was broken Monday night at the parsonage of Bethlehem in Baitest Church by the voices of a large number of the members of that church who gave the pastor, Rev. Sutton a grand surprise party. An enormous supply of all kinds of choice and fancy groceries were given the pastor and the affair was one of genuine pleasure, from the moment the surprising crowd reached the parsonage until they bade the pastor farewell in the wee hours of the morning. Those contributing to the surprise were: Miss Matthews, Mrs. Matthews, Mesdames R. Sycuse, M. Collier, Susie Smith, Messrs. Gaskin, J. Smith, Deacon Jones, Mesdames M. Miller, G. Pate, Messrs Oscar Pate, Mesdames Susie Cook, M. Gordon, Mittie Jones, Daisy Williams, Rev. Prince, Miss Polly, Miss Howard, Mrs. Hewit, Deacon Charlie Miller.

All her life Mrs. Johnson was a staunch and practical Catholic, a faithful wife and devoted mother. Her death was a most happy and peaceful one; for months she prepared her soul to meet its Maker. The funeral services took place on Tuesday afternoon in St. Benedict church, where Father Dahlent paid a warm tribute to the good, christian woman. Her remains were interred in the Catholic Cemetery; Father Thuet read the last prayers at the grave. Mrs. Johnson is survived by her husband Mr. W. Johnson, and her niece, Mrs. C. Mills, who had been most devoted to her during her illness. Mrs. Johnson was a member of St. Mary's Aid Society which sent a beautiful floral design May her soul rest in peace.

Mr. and Mrs. Ned Edwards christened their handsome new home situated on the corner of Forty Second and Drayton streets, directly opposite Ardsly Park, on Monday night November 4th. Their home is one of the handsomest among the colored citizens of the city. It contains seven large rooms and an artistic reception hall. The location is one of the most desirable in the Southern section. Among those present at the house warming were Rev. Daniel Wright of the First Bryan Baptist Church and his deacon board, Rev. Jenkins and some of his deacons, and a large number of friends of Mr. and Mrs. Edwards. The home was beautifully decorated with chrysanthemums and roses sent by the large number of friends of the host and hostess. The house was designed and built by Mr. Marion Brockington, the brother of Mrs. Edwards. Mr. Brockington received many compliments for the artistic way in which the house is planned and constructed. Mr. Edwards is one of the most industrious and thrifty among the young men of the city. He has a responsible position with the Atlantic Coast Lane and has been with them for nearly thirty years. Mr. Edwards is to be congratulated upon his success in securing such an excellent home in such a desirability. Mrs. Phyllis Huntley, a sister of Mrs. Edwards, had charge of her refreshments and assisted other women in entertaining the large number of guests who were present. AMUSEMENT COLUMN. Within The Past Few Months We Have Sold 2 CAP and BELLS LITTLE TOT'S READY ANSWER Fit Very Nicely, Considering Stepmother Got Her "Ready Made," Replied Miss Polikins. She was a pretty little tot, and everybody who knew her took pleasure in pausing to ask her some kind of a question, merely to show an interest and for the pleasure of hearing the musical cadence of her voice. Some of the questions were what might be termed leading, but for all she invariably had some kind of an answer. Among these latter inquiries was one from an intrusive busybody who was old enough to know better, but who belongs to a class of person who never learn. Knowing that the little girl had only recently become the possessor of a young and attractive stepmother, with a curiosity inborn she asked her very frankly: "Well, Pollikins, how do you like your stepmother?" The child raised her blue eyes gravely, and with her face glowing with happiness replied: "Oh, very much, indeed, Mrs. Skillington! We fit very nicely, considering that she got us ready made."—Judge's Library. Kept Her Word. Senator Root was talking about a certain resourceful corporation. "They can get around anything," he said, a touch of admiration in his voice. "They remind me of a Narragansett girl. "A Narraganset girl, driving a 60-horse-power gray roadster, admitted: "Yes, I've accepted David." "Why,' said the girl beside her, 'you told me positively that if Dave proposed to you your answer would be a word of two letters." "The other girl, blushing a little, said softly: 'But I answered Dave in German.'" A. Philanthroplat. A north side lumber dealer contracted to supply a lot of lumber to a stranger. On looking it over he found it full of knotholes and told his customer about it frankly. "You may not want this lumber," he said. "Why not?" "I'll have to be honest with you. It is full of knotholes." The stranger only laughed. "I'll take it," he declared. "The lumber is to go around some baseball grounds. Knotholes won't hurt matters any. I was a kid myself once." HE KNEW. Mr. Askitt—Why is it, doctor, that so many men are having nervous prostration. They didn't used to have in the old days. The Old Doctor—No; in the old days, you see, we used to call it delirium tremens. That Equalized It. She (pouting)—You don't love me as much as you did. You used to hold me on your knees a whole hour, and now you tire in 45 minutes. He—I love you just as much, darling, but you know while you were away this summer you gained 25 per cent in weight. Business Ways. "His wife is a business woman all right." "What makes you say that?" "What makes you say that?" "She's installed a time clock in the hell, and he has to punch it when he goes out nights and when he gets back." Henry—Do you think she would accept me if I should propose? Ethel—Why, of course! She has accepted lots worse looking chaps than you. SATISFIED WITH OLD GAME Provisions to Ante-Nuptial Agreement Suggested by Girl Cause Resumption of Love Making. "Before we proceed any further with our courtship," he said, "would it not be well for us to consider the pre-nuptial agreement? All the best people, you know, are having pre-nuptial agreements now." Miss Gaythorne looked at him in perplexity for a moment and then answered: "I don't believe I quite understand you." "Haven't you read about the pre-nuptial agreement that was entered into by Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt and Mrs. McKim?" "I don't remember it, if I did. What was it?" "They had a complete understanding concerning the divorce and the alimony and the disposition of the children and all that sort of thing, so that it would be unnecessary for them to have matters aired in court or published in the newspapers, if they ever decided that their marriage was a failure. "And you wish to have me enter into an agreement of that kind?" "It would simply matters in case we ever found that our wedded life was not what we expected it to be." "Very well, I will enter into an agreement of that kind if you will let me add a few provisions." "What have you in mind?" "Well, for one thing, you are to agree to always consider me the loveliest and most beautiful girl in the world. For another, you are to agree that you will never do or say anything which might cause me to cease to regard you as the ideal man. It will be further agreed that neither of us shall cease to love the other without a sufficient and reasonable cause, and that—" "Oh, pshaw, Bessle," he interrupted, "what's the use of considering the matter any further. Come on over and let's resume hugging and kissing where we left off." NATURALLY. TO MANAGER'S OFFICE The Tragedian—They've sent poor Knight Stands to the almshouse. The Comedian—He won't mind it. He's been used to poorhouses for years. A Childish Idea. "Why is it, Willie," his mother complained, "that you won't study? You can never amount to anything in the world unless you have an education, and you can never have an education unless you study. You don't want to grow up and have to be somebody's hired man all you life, do you?" "No," replied Willie. "Well, then, what do you think is going to become of you if you keep neglecting to get your lessons?" "Oh, I can run a correspondence school of some kind, can't I?" That Was Different. "Now, Noguchi, in the matter of your wages," said Mrs. De Rich to the candidate for the office of Japanese butler. "Money no object," smiled Noguchi. "Oh, indeed! How nice!" said Mrs. De Rich. "You mean that you will work for nothing?" "No, no, no!" cried Noguchi. "Me mean me no object to money."—Harrer's Weekly. Publicity. "So you have a grievance against the newspapers," said the publisher, wearily. "I have," replied Mr. Dustin Stax. "If a man wants to start a business he has to pay for advertising by the inch. But when a candidate comes along it is handed to him gratis by the column." No Political Authority. "What became of that smart little office boy you had all during the summer? "The chief clerk had to fire him." "Sorter fell down in his work, eh?" "Not altogether. It was all right as long as he was a part of the office's baseball controversies, but when he started to butt in on some of the fall politics they had to let him go." Incompetent. Mrs. Kaller—Cooks are such ignorant things nowadays. Mrs. Justwed—Aren't they? They can't do the simplest things. I asked mine to make some sweetbreads the other day and she said she couldn't—McCall's Magazine. Stranger Than Fiction "There wasn't, eh? They were not talking shop." THE SCRAP BOOK CALIFORNIA QUAIL. The California quall is common and generally distributed over the states west of the Sierras, except at the higher altitudes, and is especially abundant in the fruit-growing sections. Like the Bob White of the east, this quall never goes far from cover, and it delights to dwell on unimproved land where trees and chaparral alternate with small areas of open ground. In settled regions it is somewhat domestic in habits and soon becomes accustomed to living in orchards, gardens and cultivated grounds. The writer has seen a female sitting upon her eggs in a garden within 30 feet of a house, between which and the nest carriages and foot passengers passed many times each day. In winter a covey frequently feeds with the farmer's chickens, and if not disturbed will continue to do so until pairing time. Shrinking Glaciers. It appears that, save over a small area, the glaciers of the world are retreating to the mountains. The Arapahoe glacier in the Rockies has been melting at a rapid rate for several years. The glacier on Mount Sarmiento in South America, which descended into the sea during the last century, is now separated from the shore by a vigorous growth of timber. The Jacobshaven glacier in Greenland has retreated four miles since the year 1860, and the East glacier in Spitzbergen is more than a mile away from its old terminal moraine. In Scandinavia the snow line is farther up the mountains, and the glaciers have withdrawn 3,000 feet from the lowlands in a century. In the Eastern Alps and one or two other small districts the glaciers are growing.-Harper's Weekly. FEWER LIVES LOST AT SEA. The toll of the sea is gradually falling. In 1894, 1,784 masters and seamen and 1,197 passengers, making a grand total of 2,071, were lost, as compared with 997 masters and seamen and 24 passengers (a total of 1,021) in 1911—figures which appear in a British mercantile marine return just issued. The proportion of mariners lost in 1894 was one in 116; last year it had fallen to one in 248. Nearly 250,000 seamen are returned as serving in British seagoing merchant ships last year, as against less than 220,000 fifteen years ago. It is noticeable that of last year's over 230,000 were engaged on steamships, as against only 15,000 on sailing vessels. In 1894, .58,537 seamen worked under sail, against 159,257 under steam. GIGANTIC WATER TANK. The water supply system of Calcutta, India, includes the largest water tank in the world. It covers an area of two and one-third acres, and the total weight when it is full of water is 72,000 tons. There are 32 miles of steel joists in the vertical columns and bracings, and in the foundations 20 miles of steel joists and tie bars. The capacity of the tank is 9,900,000 gallons of water. The tank acts as a balancer and to assist the pumps when they cannot send sufficient water into the mains to meet the demands. During the night hours, when the pumps provided more water than is required, the excess quantity goes in to the tank. FAMILY OF MURDERERS. Calvinia, Cape Colony, can claim the unenviable distinction of possessing a single family five members of which have been charged with murder or attempted murder. The details are told apropos of the death sentence which has just been passed on Jacob Swart, found guilty of kicking his wife to death. A second member of the family was convicted of the attempted murder of a farmer. A woman member murdered a child which she had been nursing, and two brothers wanted for theft shot dead the policeman and a farmer who tried to arrest them. LARGEST BLOCK OF GRANITE. For two years granite quarriers have been working away cutting out an immense block at Barre, Vt. Even now, it is not removed from its original resting place, nor have they gotten the exact dimensions of the huge block. They know, however, that in rough figures it exceeds 230 feet long, 65 feet wide, and is at least 30 feet in depth. Since clearing away the face, it has been found that the depth will exceed 30 feet, as no sign of the bottom bed is yet reached. Taking the above figures as criteria, the block weighs about 75,000,000 pounds. FAMOUS RING IS SOUGHT. The police of the world have been asked to co-operate in the search for an old-fashioned ring which has already had many strange adventures. The ring is of old-fashioned gold work, set with a cornellan stone sculptured with a design after Michael Angelo. It represents a vintage scene, with vines, dancing figures, fauns, animals and fruit. There is only one other ring the same in existence and this duplicate is in the South Kensington museum, London. Both rings are copies by a Greek engraver of the original, which was made for a king of France. The lost ring was found in Paris about the year 1800, and lost again about 50 years ago. Early this year the owner presented an old desk to a boy leaving for school, and the discovery of a hidden spring revealed the missing ring. Shortly afterwards the owner left for India, taking the ring with him, when it again got lost, and that is why the police have been asked to aid in the search to find it. BUSIEST SPOT ON EARTH. The most crowded spot in the world for five and a half days of the week is that small tract of territory, covering one acre, bounded by the Royal Exchange, the bank and the Mansion house in the city of London. It is a veritable human ganglion. If you were to stretch an invisible thread north and south across this space you would find that in the course of each day no fewer than 500,000 persons passed and repassed, together with 50,000 vehicles. And the busiest acre is immediately outside the Mansion house, for rather more than half the traffic crossing the imaginary boundaries passes that way. The results of a traffic census taken by the London police show that on an average day some 30,000 vehicles pass this particular corner, while the pedestrian traffic is well over 250,000, and these figures are constantly increasing. NO MORE HOME-MADE LACE. Home-made Saxony lace which has been made by women of the country in their homes for upwards of a hundred years, is doomed. Lace-making was first introduced into Saxony in 1808, and since that time thirty lace-making schools have been supported by the government, who saw in it a profitable home industry for the women. The Royal House also took an interest in the work, and various societies placed it on the market. Last June, however, a machine was patented for the work, whose metal fingers make the lace more cheaply, in quicker time, and more exact to pattern. The government has therefore decided to close the schools, and the peasant women and children are thus being forced into the factories to earn their livelihoods. SPOILED THE SWIMMING TRIP. Near Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, during the summer, a bevy of young ladies who had just graduated from high school went out to a secluded nook on the banks of the Skunk river to take a swim. They secreted their clothes in a neighboring thicket and had just entered the water when they were panic-streken to hear a voice exclaim in a most matter-of-fact way, "Taking a bath? Ha ha, come in, the water's fine." They remained in the water for over an hour with only their heads showing, until one of the girls happened to discover a solemn-looking parrot perched on the limb of a tree near by. The bird had escaped from town and followed the girls to the swimming hole. HEROINE REMEMBERED. Some time ago Rev. Neil Macphall, parish minister of Kilmuir, Skye, Scotland, directed attention to the neglected condition of the Flora Macdonald memorial in the churchyard of Kilmuir, where the remains of the heroine lie. There was such a hearty response that the restoration of the memorial has now been completed, and a marble tablet has been placed in the recess of the inscription block, upon which is inscribed Dr. Samuel Johnson's eulogy: "The preserver of Prince Charles Edward Stuart will be mentioned in history, and, if courage and fidelity be virtues, mentioned with honor." FORTUNES IN SONGS. Other musiclans besides merely comic song writers have gained golden rewards by their works. "Sullivan received $50,000 in royalties from "The Lost Chord." "In Old Madrid" brought its composer—until then unknown to fame—$75,000; and for "My Pretty Jane," Bishop received $10,000 a line. It is not always the composer, however, who reaps the fruits of success. "Alice, Where Art Thou? was offered to several publishers for $2, and declined, and "Kathleen Mavourneen" was sold by its composer for that amount. IN THE OIL COUNTRY. A Pennsylvania farmer bought a tract of swamp land for $11. His neighbors rushed to the front with sympathy, thinking he was stung—which he was, by the mosquitoes. He straightway bought gallons of coal oil and poured freely, ostensibly to kill the pests. A few days later, however, a capitalist called on him and was shown the place and in an hour's time had given a good bank account in exchange for the land. The capitalist is now well drilling (and wondering), while the investor drives round occasionally in his car to have a look GOOD ROADS MUDDY ROADS COSTLY Little Dragging by Each Farmer Will Aid Materially. No Patent on Implement Invented by King, and Cost Varies From Nothing Up to $250, Depending on Material That Is Used. (By F. D. COBURN, Secretary Kansas Board of Agriculture.) Rough and muddy roads cost the average farmer more than his taxes. If each farmer will, at the proper times, do a little dragging on the road in front of his land, the state's bad roads will largely be made good roads. Try it for a year; get your neighbors to do the same; see how inexpensive and simple it all is, and if it isn't one of the wisest investments you ever made. This tells you how: The drag may be made of a log, say 8 feet long and 12 inches through, split in the middle, or of two pieces of any substantial The King The King Road Drag. wood, 2x8 inches, and the lighter the better. After the log is split, giving two flat-faced slabs, bore three two-inch holes in each slab as shown in the drawing, connect the slabs, facing the same direction, with the three stakes, or rounded 3x3s, long enough to leave 3 feet of space between the slabs after the connecting pieces have been driven into the holes. Two or three boards nailed together can be laid on these pieces, affording a loose platform for the driver to stand on. Use a chain or strong rope for attachment to the doubletree. Supposing the drag to face the west, and assuming that a chain is used, fasten one end of the chain to or around the left hand outside connecting brace, letting the chain pass over the top of the front slab. If attached to the face of the slab near the left hand end, the chain would interfere with the movement of dirt toward that end of the SIMMONS' ROAD BILL PASSED North Carolina Senator Makes Name for Himself by Securing Appropriation From Government. In the dying hours of the congress just closed Senator Simmons of North Carolina made a name for himself as the father of the first appropriation for road building by the federal government that has been made since Henry Clay made his successful fight for the building of the old Cumberland road. Senator Simmons' bill provides for the expenditure of only $500,000, and that for experimental work; but the ice has been broken now, and the advocates of national highways constructed by the national government have taken new courage. The bill provides for every dollar expended in any community by the federal government the local authorities shall put up two, so, while the actual appropriation is only five hundred thousand, the bill will cause to be expended on the roads of the country a million and a half; it is further stipulated that every cent of the money shall be spent under the direction of engineers from the United States office of public roads, thus eliminating the possibility of local graft. The information that the national government has at last made a direct appropriation for road-building outside of federal cemeteries, national parks and army posts comes to the advocates of good roads as the best news they have heard in many years; the appropriation is not much, it is true, but road-workers will insist that it is the first ray of light that presages the approach of dawn. National highways are coming, and coming soon. Good roads are essential to the success of the farmer the world over. Poor roads are very costly, they cause the speedy wearing out of wagons, the loss of animals and the failure to market crops profitably. Good roads mean a great ease in marketing, longer wear of farm wagons, more profit and more comfort. Good roads are not expensive; all roads can be improved at small cost in money, time and labor. Good Roads drag. The drag is run at an angle of 45 degrees, so that dirt will be thrown toward one side. The other end of the chain can be inserted and fastened in a hole in the face of the front slab near where the right-hand connecting piece comes through, as shown in the illustration. Shoe about four feet of the bottom edge (right-hand side) of the front slab with a piece of iron or steel, about three inches wide and a half-inch thick, with one edge sharp or beveled. Bolt it on securely, letting the sharp edge project about half an inch below the edge of the slab. This shoe will enable the drag better to shave the surface and cut, down the hard ridges which are usually met with on roads that have not been kept smooth. A good drag will cost from almost nothing to $250, depending on the material and construction, and last five or ten years. There is no patent on it, and anybody can make one. Roads should be dragged ten or twelve times a year. The time is after each soaking rain, so that the drag will form a smooth surface. The dragging should be done when the soil is moist but not sticky. When the frost is leaving the ground is an excellent time to begin; the drag should be in use from then until winter. The work does not interfere with ordinary farming operations, as when it is the right time to drag, the soil is too wet or the conditions unsuited for most kinds of field work. It is difficult to invent a good excuse for not dragging. Used at the right time and with proper frequency, on practically all types of corn-belt soils and those of the clayey or rolling sections, the drag will make roads smooth, hard and convex, the three fundamental characteristics of an ideal dirt road. The process will form a sort of shell or Iron Plate casing over the surface which will shed water like a roof, and by-distributing travel over the entire area, instead of confining it to the center, the shell will constantly increase in solidity. At the outset dragging cannot be done so rapidly as when the road has been shaped up by several sweeps of the drag; after this preliminary work, the job can be done in half the time originally required. Drive slowly. Any boy and farm team can operate the drag and will learn at every dragging for years how to get better results from it. If you don't want to attend to dragging your own part of the road, chlp in a trifle with others and hire some neighbor who will work regularly and at the proper times. Don't be disturbed if your road doesn't reach perfection in the first year. Keep everlastingly at it, and later, on you will be glad. Poultry food should be palatable. Some grains are the favorite food of chickens, while others are not. Rye may be fed, but it is not generally liked by poultry, and should never be made the principal feed. It may be used in a mixture with other grains, and will be eaten by the flock. Relish is one of the factors of proper feeding. Food should be varied. The best commercial poultry foods on the market are combinations of the common farm grains. There are varying amounts of each, according to nutritive value and cheapness—wheat, oats, corn, barley, rye, millet-seed, caneseed, field peas, buckwheat, sunflower-seeds and grasseeds. With these are combined grit, shells and charcoal. These foods produce good results, mainly because of the variety. With a little instruction, one could make such a combination for the flock of grains on the farm. Three years ago the farmers of Spottsylvania county, Virginia, spent $100,000 on good roads.

One special need of sheep is pure air. This is to be supplied in the winter sheds by due ventilation. A few ventilators in the upper part of the sheds will secure this. When the time comes to wean the pigs cut down the sow's ration of water and hay. She will then dry up without injuring her udder. When she is giving a large supply of milk, and all the pigs are taken away at once, the udder is often ruined and she becomes unable to suckle another litter.
