Medical Attention Summoned Too Late—Three Coffins of Victims in Hearse Attract Attention—Case Being Rigidly Investigated.
A case of poisoning which has and is still bringing forth rigid investigations by local authorities is that of last week which resulted in the death of three persons at 107 Poplar street, Mrs. Julia Williams, age 50, and two small children, Josey Graham, age, 2 and Willie Smith age 21 months. The dead woman was grand-mother to the children, the three of them with the mother and father of Josey
Graham lived in the house together. Nothing unusual was noticed in the condition of any member of the family until Friday afternoon of last week Mrs. Julia Williams and the two children were taken suddenly ill. Home remedies were applied for their ailments, but it was seen that they did not get any better. The next morning the little Graham child grew violently ill and a physician was sent for. However, shortly after the physician arrived, the child died. Upon reaching the house and seeing the serious condition of the two children and Mrs. Williams, he notified the police headquarters.
The condition of Mrs. Williams and the little Smith boy was seen to be critical and little hope was held out for their recovery. Mrs. Williams died that night and the child succumbed Sunday morning.
A careful examination of the stomach of Mrs. Williams was made by several physicians who came to the conclusion the victims had died from poisoning. At first it was thought that the deaths were caused from tripe which the victims had eaten but upon further investigation traces of arsenic were found in the teapot which the unfortunate woman brewed tea in the morning before her death.
There were several arrests in connection with the case, one of them being Emanuel Graham, father of one of the dead children, who, it is alleged, had threatened the life of Mrs. Williams. Graham, however, was discharged shortly after his arrest but was taken into custody again the early part of the week. No verdict has as yet been rendered by the coroner as to the cause of the deaths.
The funeral of the three dead persons took place Monday afternoon. The hearse with the three coffins, those of the two children upon that of their grand mother, occasioned much attention as it passed to the cemetery.
MOREHOUSE COLLEGE NOTES
Atlanta, Ga. A very important meeting was held at Morehouse College on Thursday, April 1st. It was a joint meeting of the executive committee of the Association of Colleges for Negro Youth and a committee from the board representatives of different educational organizations. Some distinguished visitors were present, among them Prof. Holloway of Talladega College; Dr. Douglas, corresponding secretary of the American Missionary Society; Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones, representing the Slater Board; Dr. George E. Haynes of Fisk University, and Dean B. G. Brawley of Morehouse. While here Dr. Haynes lectured to the class in economics.

JACK. JOHNSON LOSES WORLD'S CHAMPIONSHIP
Jack Johnson, for the past six years the world's heavyweight champion, lost his title Monday to Jess Willard, of Kansas, in a twenty-six round bout that was a hairraiser from beginning to end. The wonderful Negro fighter had all the better of the first twenty rounds, but at that stage the youth, strength and vitality of Willard asserted itelf and the black champion began to crumple and finally took the count after one and a half minutes' fighting in the twenty-six round. The fight was purely one of science against youth, strength and vigor in which the latter triumphed.
ATLANTA UNIVERSITY NOTES
Atlanta, Ga.—On Thursday evening of last week, the newly organized Atlanta University Women's club held a very successful reception at the University in honor of the birthday of Prof. Edgar H. Webster, who for twenty-eight years has been professor of science and principal of the normal department. A very large crowd was present, including representatives of the other Atlanta institutions. In the receiving line were President and Mrs. Ware, Dean and Mrs. Adams, and Professor and Mrs. Webster. The popularity of Professor Webster was shown by many congratulations, the words of appreciation in short speeches and by the presentation of flowers and a handsome silver pitcher.
Twenty-eight young women graduates each gave him a carnation, one for each year of service, a large bouquet of roses and Easter lilies was given to Mrs. Webster, and then he was given a silver pitcher suitably engraved. It was one of the notable functions of the year, and revealed how deeply his work was appreciated by every one.
The indoor track meet at the Auditorium-Armory on Saturday April 3, under the auspices of the Gate City Free Kindergarten Association and the Neighborhood Union, was very closely contested. The teams from the four colleges participated, but the A. U. boys were able to gather more points than any other team. The relay race was won by the A. U. team with a margin of ten yards. Leigh Maxwell of A. U. won the prize for the individual winning the most points, getting two first and tying for third. Several special stunts were carried out, such as the sack race and the shoe race, which added greatly to the enjoyment.
The Easter vespers held on the afternoon of Easter Sunday were very much enjoyed. A fine musical program under the direction of Professor Sidney Woodward and an inspiring sermon by Dean Plate Durham of the Candler School of Theology in Emory University combined to make a memorable service.
The Atlanta-Fisk-Howard debate occurs at Atlanta, Nashville and Washington on Friday night April 9th.
The next game of the local schools will be on next Saturday when Atlanta University and Clark University cross bats on the latter's diamond, next Saturday, April 10. On April 13 Tuskegee Institute plays A. U. on the A. U. field.
Fine Embroidery. Work
There is on exhibit in the window of The Tribune some beautiful embroidery work which was done by the Urban League sewing class. The display has attracted much attention and many complimentary remarks have been passed on the work. The class is being conducted by Miss M. A. Coles and Mrs. C.A. Bailey.

Pipe Organ Recital Tomorrow Afternoon
AT ST. PHILIPS CHURCH BY MR.
JNO. L. E. DANIEL
The Delightful Affair will be Given Under the Auspices of Y. M. C. A.
—Admission Free.
One of the most delightful Sunday afternoon treats which the local music lovers will have listened to in many a day, will be the pipe organ recital and sacred concert which will be given by the Colored Y. M. C. A. at St. Philip A. M. E. Church, West Broad street, on tomorrow, Sunday, afternoon at 4:30 o'clock.
Doubtless an unusually large crowd will be on hand to hear the entertaining and highly pleasing program which will be rendered by Mr. Jno. L. E. Daniel, organist of Christ Church, white, assisted by some of the best talent to be found among our people in this city.
The numbers by Mr. Daniel will, of course, attract much attention, for the organ in St. Philip is the latest model to be found in any of the local Negro churches and is one of the finest in any Negro church in the country. Mr. Daniel is one of the most experienced and highly accomplished musicians in the city. He is a native of England and, prior to his coming to this city, filled a position for several years in one of the leading churches in Florida.
The instrument upon which Mr. Daniel will play was installed at a cost of $2,500.00 and all of its varied and beautiful tones will be brought out by him on Sunday afternoon.
There will be no admission charged,
all seats being free. The concert will
begin promptly at 4:30 o'clock and
no one will be allowed to enter the
auditorium during the rendition of any
of the numbers.
A silver offering will be taken
to assist the association in its work.

Baseball Season Opens Monday
HELP CITY WIN BACK LOVING CUP
Opening Game to be Played Against Charleston at Athletic Park—Record Attendance Expected.
Local baseball fans will be at ease again on next Monday when the first regular game of the South Atlantic League will be played at Athletic Park with the Charleston team.
Indications are that the attendance at the opening game will be far in excess of that of last year when because, of poor attendance this city had to relinquish possession of the silver loving cup presented by the Columbus Ledger for the largest opening attendance.
In order to regain the cup from Columbus where it went last April, local fans, will have to turn out in mighty-strong numbers, but then if Savannah really wishes to get it, she can do it by having one of the largest crowds in the history of the new park.
The spring training games of the locals have shown them to be almost if not quite equally as strong as last year and it will not at all be unlooked for if both halves of the season are won by the local team.
The game Monday begins at 3:30 o'clock and the general admission of 25 cents will abtain throughout the year.
The management wishes to urge the colored fans to patronize the games as largely as possible and help put the team here on a paying basis.
TO THE ODD FELLOWS OF GEORGLA
Savannah, Ga., Mar. 31, 1915 A mass meeting of the Odd Fellows was held on above date at Odd Fellows hall, Harris street, east, for consideration of the $500.00 policies. After one of the policies had been read and explained, by a unanimous vote, we denounce and protest the actions of the Executive Committee as an imposition unauthorized by the issuance of said certificates, for the following reasons: 1st. We find nothing in the minutes of the Grand Lodge held in Augusta, 1911, that would authorize the Executive Committee Report, Grand Lodge our present contract, other than from $300.00 to $500.00 policies. See Executive Committee Report, Grand Lodge Minutes, held in August 1911, page 52.
2nd. The General Law, page 105, Law 118 Sections 1 and 2, provides how changes shall be made. We decline to surrender our present policies for said Certificate for the reason that the certificates are too drastic and unreasonable. We recommend that the Brotherhood of Georgia consider the new Certificates seriously before applying for or accepting same.
We recommend to the Brotherhood to elect such delegates as will go to the District Grand Lodge instructed to legislate to the best interest of the Brotherhood, and for changes if any need be.

SAVANNAH BUSINESS LEAGUE REPORT
We are still in our infancy, and so, quite natural, it is hard to get unity of thought and concrete co-operation to a common end. We are still so young and so far from singleness of purpose that such is to be expected and no one in particular is to blame for it.
We believe that we have done well considering the fact that we have had to harmonize the views of more than a hundred men who are engaged in thirty-six businesses, trades and professions—the banger, baker, barber, blacksmith, carpenter, dentist, druggist, insurance man, lawyer, merchant, physician, photographer, plumber, preacher, printer, painter, tinner, real estate man, cobbler and undertaker.
There is something unusual about an idea that would fuse in a common interest men engaged in so many lines of human endeavors. It must appeal to that commendable spirit of self-interest so essential to self-preservation the end of which is to better one's material condition.
Organization
At the suggestion of Mr. Walter S. Scott, seven of the business men of the city organized the Negro Business League April S, 1913. The officers first elected have been re-elected twice and are now serving. Its memebrship increased to sixty-six the first year and at present exceeds one hundred.
Object
The mission of the League is stated in the preamble to the constitution as follows: "We, the colored citizens of Savannah, Ga., desiring to stimulate greater activity and growth in the business enterprises among our people of the City of Savannah and vicinity, and feeling the need of constant co-operation and conference for mutual advice among members of the race already engaged in business, and to promote an interest on the part of the race to the support of business enterprises conducted by its member, and also desiring to co-operate with the National Negro Business League, have formed this organization."
Our Meetings
Twice each month we meet at headquarters, 458 West Broad street. In addition to the regular routine we have lectures by distinguished visitors, lectures by various members on their line of business and general discussion of topics of special interest .. business men. Occasionally we serve refreshments.
The Tuskegee Band
In August 1913, under the auspices of the League, this famous band rendered, in the Savannah theatre, one of the most acceptable programs ever witnessed here. Free tickets were tendered the Mayor and City Council. After the program the band was entertained at Harris Street hall. Twenty-five dollars of the profit from the concert was given the Old Folk's Home and the same amount was given Charity Hospital.
Race Segregeation
In October 1913 the League sent a strong though courteous protest to President Wilson against segregating colored people in the Federal Offices at Washington, D. C., to which Secretary Tumulty promptly replied stating that the matter would be laid before the President.
Urban Leagues
In order to encourage this newly organized charitable institution the Business League donated ten dollars to its Christmas fund in December 1913.
Public Meeting
We are glad to say the Business League has always enjoyed the hearty co-operation of the pastors of the city churches. So, from time to time they have granted us the privilege of holding public meetings in their churches. No admission fee has been charged and no collection taken. At these meetings lectures along the line of race patronage are delivered by preachers and lay-men. The organization and individual members distribute literature. This has proven one of the most effective ways of presenting our cause to the public.
In addition to these meetings for purely business purposes other public entertainments have been given under the auspices of the League for educational purposes, which have brought to the city some of the ablest men and women of the race.
Railroad Day.
As has already been shown the League does not limit its activities to any single purpose but endeavors to be useful whenever and wherever it can consistently do so. Hence, when DE
NUMBER 29
SCHOOL CHILDREN'S RACES MAY 7TH
UNDER AUSPICES OF LOCAL URBAN LEAGUE
All Schools Compete
Biggest Crowd in History of Baseball Park Expect to be on Hand—Girls And Boys Both to Compete—Programs of Events out Next Week.
The fourth annual field day and track meet of the Negro schools will be held at the baseball park Friday afternoon May 7th. This event promises to ellips both in point of attendance and excellence of performance, all previous events of this nature that have ever been held in this city, and this means that the mammoth crowd of 4,200 of 1913 will look like a handful in comparison to the throng which will be on hand at the coming races.
Indeed, from present indications, the event of the 7th of next month is going to be a corker from every point of view. There are going to be new features added to the usually highly entertaining and amusing program and the local public is going to be treated to an afternoon of pleasure such as is only experienced by the big metropolitan centers of the north.
All the schools of any note in the city will compete for honors in the coming event. All of the big public schools will be there with their hosts of entries and the private schools without numbers will send in their youthful athletes to win fame and honor.
As last year, there will be many features in which the girls will take part and already no little interest is being manifested by them for places on their respective school teams. Their advent into the races proved the real hit of the afternoon at the last races and since there will be nearly twice as many of them entered this year, the spectators may well anticipate a full and complete afternoon of joy and mirth.
The races this year will be under the auspices of the local branch of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes. This is explained by the fact, that the Negro business and Professional Men's Association, the organization which in previous years sponsored the races, observing that the boy's club of the Urban League was conducting activities similar to theirs, thought it advisable to turn over their activities to the latter, and so at a meeting last Monday afternoon this was done and the former became non-existent.
The various committees of the boy's club, which are preparing for the meet will report at a meeting of the club Monday night at eight o'clock at the League's headquarters. The time for getting matters in shape for the races is rather short but the committee is going to make a whirlwind advertising campaign and feels that it can get everything in readiness in a few weeks' time. The schedule of events and other important information will appear in next week's issue of The Tribune.

A CORRECTION
In the last issue of The Tribune in the article under the caption "Odd Fellows Hold Mass, Meeting", we stated that the meeting finally adjourned without the legislation of any business. Since our last publication we learned that a committee had been appointed at that meeting to draw up resolutions protesting against the action of the executive board for the issuance of the new death certificates.
NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE HOLDS
INTERESTING MEETING
The last meeting of the Business League was one of the most interesting in its history. The main addresses were delivered by Mr. C. A. Lewis, and Prof. J. W. Hubert. Hereafter lectures will be delivered by some of the members at each meeting on the work in which he is engaged. The selection of speakers will be made alphabetically. On Friday night of next week, April'16th, 1015, Mr. Chas. H. Anderson will be asked to deliver the principal address.

Spring Styles Becoming Standard
The Long Tunic Appears Slashed and Abbreviated Almost to Apron Effect
STYLES FOR JUNIORS
New York, April 10th-In April, Spring tendencies begin to crystallize and we are able to surmise what will be standard and what is a mere fad and soon to die.
We know that the Empire dress has come to stay with us for the summer at least, and will be worn by the women whose slender, girlish figures will allow such lines. Others will e-schew this type of frock for it is essentially for the youthful figure.
The skirts are full and short, very high shoes being worn to disguise the fact that with the ordinary shoes the dress would be above shoes tops. For the street, the skirts are plain and full, being either gathered, or pleated, or placed on a yoke. One smart blue serge skirt was box pleated at the top, with a slash under every other pleat through which was drawn the patent leather belt.

An Up-to-Date Seperate Waist, Belt, and Skirt
The long tunic has not disappeared, for on some of the most up-to-date suits they are worn. These tunics are so long, however, that it is but an inch or so of the underskirt that is seen beneath Sometimes the tunic is shorter in front than in the back and the lower skirt may be of a contrasting material. Such a skirt I saw recently of black taffeta and black-and-white striped taffeta. The waist worn with this skirt was made with a blek collar lined with the striped material and flaring so that the black and white formed a decided trimming feature of the waist.
Other tunics are slashed up the side and give almost an apron effect front and, back. Again, the tunic shrinks to a mere apron in front, which may have rounded corners and be edged with a narrow, flutted ruffle of the same material.
In my illustration is to be seen a checked taffeta dress, which is made with the up-to-date tunic skirt. The check is in gray and black, and white with a touch of sand is used for the body of the waist and for the tunic or overskirt. The vest of the waist and the underskirt are of grey taffeta. A running tule hat is worn with this dress, and is strictly tailored in its simplicity and extremely smart.
Suits are very smart which have a covert cloth jacket and a skirt of black covert, the connecting link between coat and skirt being a black collar on the coat.
The military effect is to be seen in linen suits. A very well cut linen suit in oyster-white was made on Norfolk lines with a belt and very large pockets on the side over the hips. The box-pleates in the coat are duplicated in the box-pleates in the skirt, which, in this case, were pressed down to the hem. In the wool skirts the pleats are often laid in at the top, but are not pressed in.
Braid is also used to give the military effect to jackets or waists with a cut far from military. A dress with a basque-like bodice of dark blue and a plain, full skirt had four heavy braid frogs fastened directly across the front. Narrow braid outlined the lower edge of the waist. The hat worn with this dress was the crowning feature of its militarism. It was black,
round and rather shallow, and worn well over the forehead. Directly in front was 1 cockade or gray. black Callot striped and checked taffetas and red estrage fronds.
and red oyster trouss.
in the sand color and black combinations are extremely smart. One which I liked very much was made with a surplice bodice and a skirt cut bias front and back, with the side cut on the straight of the material and pleated. A girdle of the same material was worn around the waist, ending in the back with a large up-and-down bow of the checked silk.
My first illustration shows the trim tailored line of up-to-date shirt waist, of sand-colored chiffon and a trim black skirt. The belt which is noticeable for the placing of its pockets, in pique and clasps in front with pearl button-clasps.
The separate waist and skirt are holding a strong place in the wardrope of the woman of to-day. The waists are usually trim and tailored in their lines, and the skirt should be short and flaring around the lower edge, while the shoes of sand, gray, black or tan should lace up the side instead of the front.
Large white linen or pique collar, with cuffs to match, are charming worn over the simple waist of gray or black, giving the effect of a Puritan or a Quaker costume. Gray taffeta is used for one dress, with a skirt tucked in large tucks in the back; while the front, which commences at the hips, is perfectly plain. The full waist is topped with a large unstarch ed linen collar, and the long, close-fitting sleeves have guantlets to match the collar.
Some waists are made with a square or oval opening in front—something like the shape of a man's shirt bosom, only not so deep. A tucked or pleated front of white organdy, with a round collar fitting neatly over the back, is used for a chemisette in these waists.

A Checked and Plain Taffeta Dress with Tunic Skirt
Children's clothes, from the little tots to the juniors, show the simplest of lines. Linen is used again and again in blue, white, and the soft shades of rose and tan which are so smart. One dress which was worn by a twelve-year-old girl was a soft shade of rose. A little long-sleeved bolero jacket was cut with square corners, each embroidered with a simple design in the same color. A pleated skirt hung from a high waist-linen, while the dahtiest of batiste blouse merely peeped from underneath the tiny jacket.
This same girl had removed a coat of Dutch blue chiffon broadcloth made with an Empire waist and pleated skirt. A wide braided belt was worn over the joining of waist and skirt, and was stitched at the top only, leaving a stand-away appearance at the lower edge.- The hat worn with this coat was of sand colored and black straw trimmed with a single band of black gro-grain ribbon about an inch and a half in width, which ended in double loops in the back which hung to the shoulders.
The party dresses for the little girls this age were made of sheer organdy or batiste. One was made with the decided Empire waist and was charming, while the other which I noted particularly was made with a waistline just below the normal. The skirt was made with double ruffles edged with lace, but the whole effect from arm-plit to bottom of skirt was very straight and up and down, and the sleeves were three-quarter length rather than short or very long.
Emancipation Address Delivered Last January at Hampton Institute
Out in Kentucky there lives an old colored man who has made a considerable little fortune out of his coal yard. He is shrewd, economical, close. His wife is just like him. They delight in showing the less thrifty young colored people of to-day a cook stove which they bought two years before the Civil war and have used constantly ever since. Although he keeps coal for sale, the old man takes pleasure in telling how he always manages to get discarded railroad ties to cut up and burn in his stove. "Coal, you know," he will tell you, "just burns out stoves." By such little economies the old couple has saved their money. They spend none that it is possible to keep. Recently the city improved the street that passes the home of the old people. There share of the expense amounted to several hundred dollars which, of course, they had to pay. The old lady died from the shock. The old man has made his will leaving his fortune to the son of his old master. No one has been able to induce him to leave his money to colored people or to any Negro institution. "No," he says, "niggers are no good. No use doing anything for niggers." Though he himself is a Negro who has done no little thing in the world inthe face of many disadvantages, he is consumed with deadly, damning disbelief in the Negro. And there are others of his type, belated inheritors of a belief born of conditions that have happily passed away—conditions whose passing we celebrate here to-day..
On the other hand, as a sample of the belief and confidence in the Negro secured by half century of development under freedom, the great City of Louisville, in this same commonwealth of Kentucky, provides the Negro youth with finely equipped elementary schools, a good high school, with nearly three hundred students, and a normal school for the training of teachers for the city, entirely at public expense. In addition to this, the city has given the colored people two handsome, well-equipped branch libraries at a cost of many thousand dollars, and placed them under the direction of a colored man, a graduate of Hampton Institute. In this city, too, we find a well appointed Y. M. C. A. building for colored men. Every dollar of its cost and equipment was raised in Louisville' without even the suggestion of help outside. It is one of the pioneer institutions of its kind among colored people. It is so well administered by a board of colored men that it is now closing up this year with a few dollars left in its treasury. The secretary of this Y. M. C. A. takes his turn at presiding over joint meetings of all Y. M. C. A. workers of the city.
How shall we account for that development on the part of the Negro which is not only giving him confidence in himself and in his ability to meet the high conditions of citizenship in this republic, but is inspiring faith in the hearts of his fellow white citizens? Who and what have wrought this change in half a century? Material aid and helpful sympathy have come from the white South. But it is mainly the result of the abounding intelligence and the better directed energies of the Negro, aided by those who believe in him. But who has guided and directed his uncertain, tottering steps from darkest slavery into the beckoning future? The answer is ready upon the tongue of nearly every Negro in this nation—the Yankee schoolma'am." By the Yankee schoolma'am I mean all that shining host, men and women, who came down from the North to help in the education and uplift of the Negro. Where is there a colored man or woman in this country who has not felt her influence? She had vision and faith, and she came, first, when the colored people had great need of a friend and guide who had confidence in them. She came when those whose opportunity and duty it was to lead the ignorant, helpless colored people were sadly estranged, when it was difficult for them to conceive of Negro development, when their pride had been humbled, and changed condition had turned affectionate sympathy to hateful distrust and prejudice. She brought to the black men and women of the South an inherited love of freedom, a consciousness of what education would do for them, and faith in their possibilities. Like the Negro she was profoundly religious, and she struck an answering chord in their natures. But with her, faith without works was dead. So she set about developing strength out of the Negro's weakness, order and beauty out of his disorder and confusion. The same patriotism that sent her brother into the war to save the Union and to free the slave, brought her to the front in the struggle for the Negro's real emancipation. Her fight was just as fine as his, and sometimes harder to wage.
On the red rampart's slippery swell." But for her, as for him "The high soul burns on light men's
"The high soul burns on light men's feet Where death for noble ends makes dying sweet."
It is quite common now in some circles to emphasize the so-called mistakes and blunders which the Yankee schoolma'am made. But for us the good she did outweighs all the harm she may have unintentionally wrought. A progressive Southern lady has written recently as follows: "The Northerners who came down to teach Negroes were ignorant of our past, of our conditions, of the underlying causes of our antagonism to the Negroes—of all the circle of white life which look to them so inexplicably cruel and wrong. They were only less ignorant about the Negroes, their traditions, their stage or race-growth, their true relation to the Southern life. Few people had learned to be world-dwellers then; and these eager Northern folks, who saw a need and longed to meet it, translated neither white life nor black life into world terms. We have all seen white people edo the same thing. And certainly the South never tried to help the situation. So far as explanation of assistance went we maintained a silence which was more than felt, while these from another world came and wrestled with our problems in all good faith, and according to their darkness and their light."
Bishop Atticus G. Haygood, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, speaking in 1885 of the work of President Ware, of Atlanta University, said, "The conditions under which this work is carried on are different now; very small encouragement do workers in this field get from us of the white race in the Southern states, although, next to the Negro race, we are, of all men on earth most concerned in the success of your work and most concerned because we have most at stake in this work. The social environments are not inspiring now; but let me assure you 1885 is very far from 1865. To have gone on as President Ware did during those early years, there must have been in his heart deathless love and pity for men who needed what he could give them—a faith in the gospel and eternal righteousness that never wavered, and a love for God that made work easy and suffering, joy."
Dr. DuBois declares, "That wonderful call which sounded in the ears of the sons and daughters of the North in the latter sixties was a call to far greater heroism and self-sacrifice than that which called them earlier through the smoke' of Sumter. They could not, like the soldiers, expect monuments, the notice of heroism, or even pensions, but they could expect work, danger, contempt, and forgetfulness, and those who dared this, at least deserve the respect and reverence of thinking men."
Speaking of these missionaries from the North, Professor Kelly Miller says, "A worthier band never furnished theme or song for sage or bard. * * * Their courage, their self-sacrificing dejection, sincerity of purpose, and purity of motive, and their unshaken faith came to labor."
Mrs. L. Hammon, in her recent book, "In Black and White," already quoted above, very finely says of the Yankee teachers: "But with all the mistakes and frictions, the energy wasted or turned to loss, these people brought one thing with them which is never wholly lost. It may be hindered, partly negatived, robbed of its full fruition by many things, but always love goes first. They brought with them that principal of life. They kindled in darkened hearts; they sent out thousand of Negroes fired with ideals of service to their race. And they have saved the situation, so far as it has been saved, for our Negro public schools."
Such meed as this from a gallant daughter of the South must warm the hearts of the noble army of missionaries still in the field, and raise a sweet incense to the spirit of those who rest from their labors, but whose good works do follow them.
It is not necessary on this occasion to make overmuch of the hardships and dangers which the Yankee school'mam had to face. But our youth should not be allowed to forget entirely what these frineds had to bear for us. For instance, Captain Schaefer, the founder of the Christianburg Institute in Virginia, had a bullet sent through his hat. And he built himself a stone house less his building should be burned. Mrs. Eunice Dixon, who raised $10,000 in England and sent sixty students to Hampton Institute, and now lies buried in yonder cemetery, was attacked and barely escaped with her life while teaching Negro youth in Danville, Va. The smoke of battle had not cleared about Beaufort, S. C., when Miss Towne and Miss Murray established, on St. Helena Island, S. C., the now famous Penna School. For forty years Miss Murray lived there with her black friends with scarcely a word of comfort or cheer, from the neighboring whites. Nothing but boundless love and un-

THE YANKEE SCHOOLMA'AM IN NEGRO EDUCATION
(Continued from page 2) $ ^{1} $
faltering faith could have inspired men and women, in the face of such obstacles, to undertake so stupendous task—the regeneration of a race of slaves. Small wonder that it enlisted the bravest, finest spirits in the North and sent them forth on this high emprise.
It is hardly necessary on these historic grounds to draw a picture of the conditions they had to face. They found a country left desolate by the ravages of war, its social structure rent from top to bottom; land owners, ruined by the war, without laborers, laborers, freed by the war, without employment; families with their members scattered, without food, clothes, or where they may lay their heads; no churches; of course, no school; the only institution with which the freedmen were familiar suddenly swept away; those to whom they had looked for help, protection and friendship swiftly changed to enemies; they were truly sheep without a shepherd. It was but natural, then, with the Negro's quick recognition of a friend, that he should turn with all the wealth of his love and devotion to those hearts which were opening to him in his need. Was there ever such service rendered in the world before as these new-found friends gave? They undertook everything to fit the ignorant, helpless, friendless Negroes for the new larger life into which they were thrust with only the preparation of slaves. They asked nothing for themselves, only that we become better men and women. They found it imperative that they take hold of every feature of our common life to lift it out of its neglected, undeveloped condition, or to reshape it in accordance with the requirements of nineteenth-century civilization. Homes had to be established—homes that suggested infinitely more than mere place for food and shelter. The idea of normal family had to be developed and cultivated. Sanctified love itself must be nurtured. The commoner virtues that existed among these simple folks had to be watered and tendered, the other must be planted for the first time in soil hitherto untried. And though we had slaved for two hundred years and borne the burden of clearing a new continent when all others had failed at the terrible task, still we had to be taught work—to slough off habits of shiffties—ness, wastefulness, and inefficiency begotten by slavery, to take initiative, to put heart into our work, to learn to love labor, and to understand something of the virtues and rewards of honest toil, and especially to acquire the intelligence and skill employed in effective, free labor.
On of the inestimable gifts of slavery to the Negro in America was the Christ-tian religion. But it was difficult to harmonize slavery and teachings of Christ. So the church among the colored people was robbed of much of its opportunity. Accordingly a new, full,
significant gospel had to be brought to the Negro, and if he would share in its blessings he must be taught to live in accordance with its precepts. Hitherto, also, the Negro had been thought of mainly in terms of his service to others. His own development had not been considered at all. His training had been to labor only. The whole realm of mind was closed and barred against him. But now traditional education, the knowledge of books, the ability to interpret the printed page and to express one's self in conventional terms with a fair degree of accuracy, and even elegance, became a necessity for the Negro if he was to play an effective part in the new life into which he was ushered. All this the missionary Yankee teachers came to give. The measure of their success is the Negro race in America to-tay, by far the most advanced ten millions of Negroes in the world. This wonderful work with its remarkable success is based upon very simple principles, though, after all, it represents life responding to life, love answering to love. These Northern teachers, though ignorant of the Negro, brought the key to his heart—love—and every other door flew open at their approach.
"God sends his teachers into every age
To every clime, and every race of men, With revelations fitted to their growth And shape of mind, nor gives the realm of Truth
Realm of Truth
Into the selfish rule of one sole race."
These teachers won all because they gave all, not simply their rich life, their wider knowledge, their riper religious experience; they gave themselves. They had learned, with Lowell, that it is
"Not what we give, but what we share. For the gift without the giver is bare."
They did not from their high positions say to us, "Come up to these delectable heights." They came and dwelt among us, and arm in arm and shoulder to shoulder, helped us "climb up the steeps of light." They declared us men, and proved their faith by leading us into manhood. It is significant that, under slavery, even old men were called "boys." Their positions precluded growing into full stature of men. But, in making better, more efficient, larger men, the missionaries were working, not only for the Negroes, but for the whole South. This larger vision General Armstrong saw with singular clearness, and planned for its accomplishment with state-manlike fore-sight. Today Hampton is coming, as a result, into a rich inheritance of approval from the South. And other institutions in every way have merited similar commendation.
But important as is this larger work, and keen as is the appreciation of it that is coming to obtain among white men generally in the South, it is not among them that the memory of these faithful Northern workers will be kept
green, but in the hearts of those to whom they rendered immediate service They will always live in the minds of the men and women whom they have taught, and with whom they have talked and reasoned in the quiet hours—the men and women whom they have lifted up and inspired, no less by their beautiful, unselfish lives than by their instructions. Has this fact ever come home to you with the fullness of its meaning, that practically every educated colored man or woman in this Southland owes the greater part of his training to one of these white knights or ladies of the nineteenth century who, dug him out of the miry pit of ignorance and incompetency, and set him upon a sure road and established his going. To these men and women is due largely the progress of the Negroes, in better and enlarged business, improved homes, and cleaner living, that reflects itself with increasing force in the student-bodies in hundreds of our schools.
The Negro is indebted to the Northern teachers for another service which it is easy to overlook—the sustained interest of the North in Negro education and development. Through the missionary teachers and their schools better than any other means, the North has been given just ideas of the Negro and his encouraging progress. Only with northern aid could the beginners in Negro education have been made when they were made. Through these teachers the stream of Northern aid has been kept flowing, until up to the present time more than fifty millions of dollars have come out of the North for the aid of Negro education in the South. From these funds have sprung the great educational institutions for the Negro youth all over the South—Hampton, Institute, Virginia Union University, Shaw, Claflin, Benedict, Atlanta University, Spelman Seminary, Tuskegee Institute, Talladega College, Tongloo, Straight and Bishop, and at least two hundred other institutions of various kinds that might as well be named in this connection. Thus these teachers have builed not better than they know, but admirably. They laid the foundation for the Negro's every need in education and development. They established the industrial schools to train the masses to intelligent labor and to provide industrial leaders. They founded the colleges to train teachers and to prepare professional men and highly intelligent leaders for all the complex life of a growing, progressive race. The increasing demand for college men of the Negro race to-day justifies their wisdom and foresight. They knew, as Browning says,
"If we draw a circle premature, Heedless of far gain,
Greedy for quick returns of profit, sure Bad is our bargain."
Most of these schools are strategically situated. Without them progress in Negro education would have been all but impossible. The South,
in her poverty, and doubt as to the value or desirability of Negro education, gave the elementary schools, but even to this day she has made but little provision, either in public high schools or normal schools, to say nothing of colleges, for the training of teachers for her colored public schools. This work, and the training of Negro youth for the professions, for business, and even for industrial pursuits in the main, has been left almost entirely to the schools established by the Yankee schoolma'am. How great, then, is our debt to them! And what monuments did they not set up to their memory!
This is a great day in the history of the Negro race in this country. We stand but little over half a century from slavery. Then we were three millions strong. To-day we number ten millions. Fifty-two years ago the Negro just ceased to be property. Now he owns property worth over $600,000,000. At the close of the Civil War fewer than five out of every hundred could read. We have over thirty thousand teachers of our own race, including many college graduates. There are said to be more than five hundred schools devoted to secondary and higher education among us. Eight years ago there 36,770 Negro churches in this community with more than three and a half million communicants. The Negro is making commendable progress in business. He is securing the confidence and respect of his white neighbors in the South. The gain in the last respect has been especially marked in the last five years.
This is a long way to have come, but the road ahead is also long and, in many respects, more difficult to travel. Let us renew our faith and take courage. Above all let us cherish the memory of that noble army, without trumpets or banners, which sought no conquest save that of ignorance, inefficency, sin and injustice, which came to share our sorrows, griefs, and shame, to bring light into our darkness, and to turn our weakness into the power and might that have brought us to this glorious day. Ours is a race rich in heart and in loyalty. Let us not, in our little successes in the years to come, be forgetful of the great service rendered us by the Yankee school'mam and her friends. Let us teach our sons and daughters to revere the memory of that noble hand which fought in all meekness and without malice against principalities and power, unreasoning prejudice, bitter hatred, and chilling scorn, that the black sons and daughters of this fair Southland might enter into their rich inheritance. To them let us dedicate our all, and by their ashes swear to justify their confidence in us, and to win, however long the struggle, the ungrudging favor of all reasonable men—Southern Workman.

Nature's Reliable Guide for Garden Planting.
Nature furnishes guides for garden planting which are even more reliable than the calendar, according to the department's garden specialist. The old residents of the soil such as the maple dogwood, and white oak are the best interpreters of nature's moods in spring, and quick reflect them, so that the gardener who follows their silent suggestions may arrange the planting of his vegetables accordingly.
When the silver maples begin to put forth their leaves and the "catkins" appear on the willows and poplars, nature is indicating that the season is right for the planting of such vegetables as lettuce, mustard, onion seeds and onion sets, parsley, the round-seeded peas, early Irish potatoes, radishes, spinach, and turnips. This, of course, is provided that the soil is in good order, which can be determined by taking a handful at the depth of 3 or 4 inches from the surface, compact it in the hands by closing the fingers, and if, upon opening them, the ball of earth gradually falls apart, it is ready to be spaded. Manure should then be buried a full spade depth below the surface and the soil should be made fine and compact with an even surface.
Not until about ten days after nature has set the date for the above-mentioned vegetables should such garden truck as beets, carrots, and kohl-rabi be planted. A second sowing of peas can also be made at this time. The dogwood and the white oak begin to show signs of awakening at a time when other vegetables may be planted. These include bush and pole beans, sweet corn, cucumbers, muskmelons, watermelons, and various kinds of squash. The gardener and housewife will rarely plant too early if they but wait for nature to tell them what to do.
HAPPY THOUGHTS.
Make for yourselves nests of pleasant thoughts. None of us yet know, for none of us have been taught in early youth, what fairy palaces we may build of beautiful thoughts, proof against all adversity; bright fancies, satisfied memories, noble histories, faithful sayings, treasure houses of precious and restful thoughts.—Ruskin
- Delight of Varied Labor.
Delight of Varied Labor. None but the fully occupied can appreciate the delight of suspended or, rather, of varied labor. It is toll that creates holidays. There is no royal road—yes, that is the royal road to them. Life cannot be made up of recreations. They must be garden spots in well farmed lands.—Mrs. Gilbert Ann Taylor.
The First Postage Stamp.
The black penny postage stamp of 1840, the first stamp ever issued, was distinctly unpopular and gave place to a red one after a year's existence. Great Britain was the first country in the world to use postage stamps, and the English schoolboy of the period seems to have regarded them as a nuisance rather than a national benefit. "Have you tried the stamps yet?" wrote one of them to his sister in the year 1840. "I think they are very absurd and troublesome. I don't fancy making my mouth a glue glue, although to be sure, you have the satisfaction of kissing the back of her gracious majesty the queen."—London Tit-Bits.

The political sentiment of the country was clearly apparent in the elections held on Tuesday last, especially in Illinois where the Republicans polled such large votes and triumphant over the Democrats. It is especially gratifying to note that the Grand Old Party routed the Democrats in Chicago and by an unusual plurality elected its mayoralty candidate. The indications now are that the donkey party will be entirely annihilated next year and the massive elephant will return to its own.
There is a great economic lesson for our people in this community to learn and profit therefrom. The leading white citizens are appealing more than ever before for Savannah money to remain in Savannah, and preference for any kind of work be given local men. Equally persistent are some of them in advocating the cause of white men for every class of employment, and this advocacy is getting results. Years ago colored carpenters, bricklayers, etc., had the call in the building operations of the city. Today there is a change; the white mechanics are in the ascendency. The capable colored mechanic is entitled to his share of work, but simply saying that he is so entitled, will not give it to him. The colored man, like the white man, must create favorable sentiment. He must agitate and work for his cause. He must not sit supinely by and complain about what the white folks are doing against him. Let him wake up and hustle. Let him work as assidiously for his cause as the white man. And above all when things go well with him, let him remember his brother in business and in the profession, for therein hangs the effectiveness of race solidarity.
The report of the secretary of the local Negro Business League, which appears in this issue of The Tribune, should be pleasing reading matter to the Negroes of the city who are interested in the well being of the race from a commercial standpoint. Organized two years ago, the league has accomplished much for the Negro business man in the community. It has placed his cause before the people in a way that has brought him much good. It has endeavored to impress upon the Negro in general the necessity of patronizing his own, and it has pointed out to the Negro in business his faults and suggested methods by which he could remedy these faults. It has banded together practically all the leading Negro business men in the community, in an organization which has mutually helped them all in one way or another, and, indeed, the mere coming together of these men twice a month is an accomplishment which the league might well feel proud of and this, too, inspite of the fact that they meet for the furtherance of their own interests. The outlook for broader activities of the league looks indeed bright and with the Negro business men of the community all properly putting forth their best efforts for the success of the league their fight for that portion of the patronage of the race which they deserve will eventually be forth coming. The league is yet in its formative stage and the two years' history which is now behind it will read as but little in comparison to the future good it will do the community if the Negro business men one and all support and encourage the work of the league as it should be.
EDITORIAL NOTES
Col. Roosevelt's views on the recent Ship Purchasing bill, are not complimentary to the national administration, and are causing President Wilson and Secretary Bryan to somewhat wince.
It is interesting to note that our people are becoming more and more interested in the conserving of their health. This is especially evidenced by the national meetings held in many sections of the country last week, and the publishing of many health articles in several of our journals.
Evidence is being brought to the fore showing that many of the leading Progressives who have wandered from the Republican fold, are returning to their first love, and by the idees of November of 1916 the democratic party will be consigned to the rear.
Recently ex-Senator Root and ex-Attorney General Wickersham have been giving out some wholesome and convincing Republican doctrine to the people of the country. The inability of the Democrats to master the affairs of state was especially made plain.
We should learn to differentiate between feeling and principle. The latter is always the better way to settle a matter permanently.
A month or more ago a white woman in this city was alleged to have been found in the cellar of a grocery store, and it is claimed that some of the articles from the store were found in her possession. She was arrested and since indicted by the grand jury. The case was called in the courts during the week. The prosecutor decided not to push the case and the solicitor-general therefore put it on the dead docket. Is there any wonder that the proportion of convictions in the courts counts so greatly against our people?
Why will our people allow so much of their farm land to remain idle? In this county especially, there are too many idle farms. Cultivate them, stick to them and make them support you.
The thriftiness of a people is noted by the kind of school and church edifices they have.
War is being waged on the whiskey drinking and cigarette smoking habit. Every young man should be reached and impressed with the great harm that these habits will cause them. Men of affairs and large corporations will not employ men who drink and smoke cigarettes. This fact is becoming more apparent every day. Even the Russian and English governments have been convinced of this and are trying to prevent their soldiers from obtaining strong drink. Of the many cases of young men failing to obtain good positions on account of whiskey, this is one of them:
"A vacancy occurred in a great New York banking house. The salary was large and the position very important. A young man from an inland city with influential friends was suggested as the proper person to fill the place. A number of influential persons united in the warmest commendations of his character and ability. Letters recommending him were sent to the bank, and he received a special request to call and see the president.
"He was received with affability, and after a few minutes' conversation was told that other arrangements had been made and the place had been filled, or was about to be given to another man. He was shocked beyond measure, and went home greatly disappointed. An intimate friend of the president's, who had warmly commended him, wrote inquiring why the place had been given to another man. The answer came back: "We never employ men in our bank who come to us with an alcoholic breath." Then it dawned upon him, that feeling nervous before calling on the president the young man had taken a glass of wine, supposing that it would steady his nerves and make him more presentable."
A few weeks ago a young man called at our office requesting a favor. Ordinarily the favor would have been granted, but the smell of beer was on his breath mixed with tobacco, with a lighted cigarette between his fingers.
He was denied the favor. The cause is plain. Let our young men of ambition take note and cut out the whiskey drinking and cigarette smoking habit.
LINCOLN INSTITUTE STUDENTS
RENDER EXCELLENT MU-
SICAL PROGRAM
Jefferson City, Mo.—The citizens of Jefferson City, Mo., were given a rare and highly inspirational musical treat on Easter Sunday night in the cantata, "The Seven Last Words of Christ" rendered by the Lincoln Institute Choral Society with orchestral accompaniment. As soon as the chorus of fifty voices appeared in the processional "Materna," it won the favor of the audience. The orchestral number, "Ave Marie" was beautifully and impressively rendered. The articulation throughout the cantata was perfect. The new baritone soloist, Mr. J. I. Johnson, is a rising star as a singer; the new soprano soloists, Misses Mattie Wright and Ollie Hancock, were also well received. The well-known soloists, Messrs. O. Henly, Minor Holmes, and Misses Sayton and Ellis deserve special mention. The Mellifluous and melodious voice of Miss Bernice Ellis, clear and sweet as the song of the lark, held her audience enraptured and added new laurels to those already won. So well done was the work of the chorus that you could see the hostile mob as it cried, "He is death guilty, take Him, etc," or as they exclaimed "Ah, Thou wouldn't fain destroy the temple, etc." It was the crucifixion depleted in song; an artistic delight to the lover of music and a sermon in song for the religious enthusiast. The jubilee, "He arose" transcribed by Rosamond Johnson, which was the recessional, formed a fit conclusion to the evening's program.
Dr. B. F. Allen gave a short time timely address on the place of the music department in the work of the school, and the ever widening influence which this institution is exerting on the life of the state by increasing a love for good music.
DEATHS
Mrs Gussie Royal Spaulding died in New York City on Thursday morning of last week and was buried here on last Wednesday afternoon from First Bryan Baptist Church. The body was accompanied to the city by her husband, Mr. Robt. Spaulding, and daughter. She had been sick only a short time and was operated upon on Tuesday of last week which resulted in her death. Her funeral was largely attended and the floral designs were many and beautiful. She is survived by a husband, a daughter, one sister and three brothers.
Mrs Dorothy Delburg died on last Monday morning at her late residence, 432 Montgomery street, after an illness covering about two years. The funeral took place on Wednesday afternoon from St. Philip, A. M. E. Church, Charles and West Broad streets and was conducted by Rev. R. H. Singleton, the pastor assisted by Rev. Macklemore, Mother Delburg as she was generally known was a relict of the late Elder Delburg who died in this city twenty-five years ago. At the time of his death they had been married forty years. She was born at Cowpens, S. C., March 12th, 1823 and was eighty-two years old. She lived here practically all of her life, having been brought here when she was a mere child. She had been connected with the church for sixty-five years and during this time had done many charitable deeds. Her entire life was spent in dispensing charity to the needy ones and taking a part in those things which were good and worthy. She was made president of the stewardess board by Bishop H. M. Turner at the time that he pastored St. Philip church, and held the position up to the time of her death. She was a member of the Ladies United Tie. She was highly respected and has a host of friends, which was evidenced by the large crowds that were at the church and cemetery. The floral de-signs were many and beautiful. She is survived by a daughter, Mrs. Anna A. Randolph and eight grandchildren.
Mr. William L. Garey died at the residence of his mother, Mrs. Ophelia Garey, 506 West Broad street, Tuesday morning 2 o'clock. Mr. Garey who had been ill in Boston, Mass., for some time was brought home last week. He was 34 years of age and was born in this city where for several years he was postman. His funeral took place Thursday afternoon from the house, Rev. J. L. Taylor conducting the services. Mr. Garey was a member of Bay State Lodge of Elks Boston, Mass., and Weldon Lodge of Elks of this city attended the funeral in a body. The deceased is survived by his mother, Mrs. Ophelia Garey; two brothers, Mr. Garey Garey and Dr. John Garey of Danville, Va., and one sister, Mrs. R. E. Pharrow of Atlanta.

Mr. J. C. Wright died on Friday morning of last week at his home on North street after an illness of only a few days. His death came as a great shock to the entire community. Mr. Wright was born here in 1850, married Miss Elizabeth Washington on August 12, 1860, was for more than ten years a member of the city council, a deacon in Tabernacle Baptist church for over 30 years, and acted as superintendent of the Sunday school of that church for about twelve years. He was highly esteemed by both white and colored citizens in general. He was in the employment of Mr. Geo. Waterhouse for more than 30 years, and remained with that business through the proprietorships of C. E. Danner and Co., and Kinghorn Bros., respectively, when he began business for himself at the corner of North and Scott streets and continued it up to the time of his death. His funeral took place Sunday at the Tabernacle Baptist church, the Rev. D. W. Bythewod, pastor, assisted by Rev. P. P. Washington, officiating. Mr. Wright is survived by a wife, Mrs. Elizabeth Wright; three sons, Dr. R. C. Wright, of Teopka, Kan; Dr. J. Milton Wright, Mr. W. H. Wright, of Savannah; and three daughters, Miss M. L. Wright, Miss Jennie Wright, and Miss Lottye Wright, of Bamberg. Among some of the white friends to send floral designs were Mrs. A. H. Christensen, Senator and Mrs. Neil Christensen, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. English Campbell, Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Danner, Mr. and Mrs. F. P. Colcock, Mr. and Mrs. Gus Sanders and Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Bellinger. The teachers of the Beaufort public school, of which the deceased was a member of the board of trustees, with Prof. J. L. Shanklin of the Port Royal Agricultural school, also sent a beautiful floral offering. Among the out of town friends who were at the funeral were Mr. Robt. Proctor of Charleson, Mr. J. A. Nimmens of Bamberg, Mr. D. Webster Handy of Bamberg, Prof. J. E. Blanton and Mr. A. D. Watson of St. Helena, Mr. Geo. Fields of Savannah, Ga.; and Rev. P. P. Watson of Orangeburg.
Mr. Charles Frazier died at his home on Scott street Monday evening of last week after an illness of more than two weeks. He was a membr of Corinthian lodge, K of P. His funeral took place at the P. A. B. church Sunday. He leaves a wife and three little children to mourn his death. Mr. Frazier was a very popular young man.

In Memoriam In sad remembrance of qur devoted aunt,
ELVIRA WILLIAMS.
Who departed this life April 10, 1914
Oh! dearest loving aunt,
Since you have passed away;
It seems not as a year ago,
But only yesterday.
When'er we speak your loving name,
Our eyes with tears are dimmed;
Oh aunt how we miss you,
And how can we forget.
But the Lord has taken you from us,
It was His holy will;
And left in our hearts a vacancy,
Which no one else can fill.
But in our saddest moments,
One happy thought hold sway;
We will meet again dear aunt,
And be happy some sweet day.
Nieces,
Ella Northington
Mae Anderson
CHARLIE W. GREEN.
Who departed this life April 4th, 1914.
One, year have passed,
Since the pearly gates were opened
wide;
To admit the soul of a loving husbaud,
Dear Charlie we have laid thee,
In thy peaceful grave to rest;
But thy memory will be cherished,
Till we meet in heaven above.
Home is not the same,
I miss you every day;
As though it was yesterday.
There is a vacant place in my home,
That can never be filled.
Sleep on dear love one,
And take thy rest;
I love thee, but Jesus loved thee best,
Sleep on, sleep on, sleep on.
Victoria Green,
In sad but loving remembrance of our dear mother and grandmother, MARIA LOUUSE LLOYD
MARIA LOUISE LLOYD,
Who departed this life April 8th, 1914.
One year ago today the golden gates
were left ajar to admit the soul of a
fond and loving mother.
Dearest loved one we have laid thee,
In thy peaceful grave embrace,
But thy memory will be cherished,
Till we see thy heavenly face.
Jesus lover of my soul.
Let me to Thy bosom fly;
While the raging billows roll,
While the tempest still is high,
Hide me oh my Savior hide;
Till the storm of life has past,
Safe into thy heaven guide.
Oh, receive my soul at last!
The Lord took you from us,
It was His holy will;
And left in our hearts a vacancy,
Which no one else can fill.
But in our saddest moments,
One happy thought holds sway;
We will meet ag in dear mother,
And be happy some sweet day.
Loving children and
grand-children,

Published by the Anti-Tuberculosis Association, Atlanta, Ga.
Question: What is the most dangerous and fatal disease we know?
Answer: Consumption or tuberculosis.
Q: What is consumption?
A: Consumption is a disease of the lungs that is communicated from one person to another.
Q: Can a person have consumption elsewhere than in the lungs?
A: Yes, but pul-mo-nary or lung consumption is the most common form of the disease.
Q: Is consumption very dangerous?
A: Yes. It kills more people in the United States every year than any other disease except pneumonia.
A: Yes...The Raoul Foundation says there are 27,000 cases of consumption in the state to-day.
Q: What causes this disease which kills so many of our people?
A: A germ called the tu-ber-cle bacillus.
Q: What is this germ, or tubercle bacillus?
A: It is a very small plant, which cannot be seen with the naked eye.
Q: Do these germs grow very rapidly?
A: Yes, they multiply by millions in a short space of time.
Q: Where do these germs grow?
A: Chiefly in the lungs.
Q: How do the germs get into the lungs?
A: They get into the lungs through the nose and mouth.
Q: How do they get into the nose?
A: They get into the nose chiefly with the dust we breathe.
Q: How do they get into the dust?
A: Because some people who have consumption spit on the ground or in other place where the spit can dry.
Q: Is this wrong?
A: Yes, it is contrary to law, and is wrong for a person to give to any person a disease he has contracted.
Q: How do the germs get into the mouth?
A: By kissing persons who have consumption, by using a glass they have used, or putting anything into the mouth that is soiled with a consumptives spit.
Q: Does every person who gets the germ into his lungs have consumption?
A: No. If a person is strong and healthy he may not have consumption, even if the germ gets into his lungs.
Q: How is the tubercle bacillus like a seed?
A: It will not grow except in a suitable soil.
Q: What makes the lungs a suitable soil for the germs?
A: Anything that weakens them or weakens the body.
Q: What then is the best way to prevent consumption?
A: To keep the body strong and healthy.
Q: When these germs of consumption get into the lungs what do they do?
A: They grow and produce a poison which weakens the one who has the disease.
Q: What else do they do?
Q: When a person has consumption and is not treated for it, how long will he live?
A: He will generally die in three years and may die much sooner.
Q: Can a person tell when he has consumption?
A: Not always, but generally there are signs of the disease.
Q: These signs are called symptoms. What is the first of them?
A: A person who has consumption at first has a cold which does not get well like other colds.
Q: Do you mean that every person who has a cold will have consumption?
No, indeed. Not one cold in every hundred develops into consumption.
Q: What other symptoms may a person have?
A: He will have a cough, which lasts a long time.
Q: What is another symptom of the disease?
A: Loss of weight.
Q: Does this always happen in case a person has consumption?
A: Yes, in almost every case.
Q: Can one be certain he has consumption when he has a cold that lasts a long time, a cough and is losing weight?
A: No; but he should go to see a doctor and be examined.
Q: Can the doctor be positive the person has consumption?
A: In most cases he can. If he is in doubt, he can have an examination of the spit made in the State Laboratory.
Q: What is the State Laboratory?
A: A place in State Capitols where trained men study disease germs.

On account of his wide experience, having been archdeacon for work among colored people under Bishop Reese, he was selected to present the work among the colored people in the church at large.
Among the churches in which he preached were Old Trinity, St. Thomas, All Angels, Church of the Incarnation and others equally noted. In some instances he was the regular noonday preacher, while at other times the services were on Sunday evenings and during the week. Being intimately acquainted with the needs of the church in Georgia he took occasion to say all he
could in its behalf. This appointment is not the only distinction accorded Rev. phia last fall, but declined. Morning News.
ROOT SAYS NATION IS FACING CRISIS.
Former Senator's Appeal. Philadelphia, March 23—Former United States Senator Elihu Root was guest of honor at the reception given here tonight by members of the Union League. The league's historic gold medal of honor, the first recipient of which was President Lincoln, and which has been given on only sixteen occasion, was presented to Senator Root. He will be the last recipient as the die was accidently broken after the metal presented tonight was cast.
Senator Root, who was introduced as "the greatest living republican," in outlining what he termed "the mission of the Republican party at this crisis of the nation's history," said:
"The party's duty is to restore confidence in business, wipe out misunderstanding what has arisen between the farmers of the West and South and the capitalists of the East and North, fight to the last ditch against increased governmental regulation of business and prevent the power of the federal bureaucracy from becoming stronger."
In the prevailing lack of confidence, he declared, the nation is facing a crisis as great as that of the Civil war and 'will inevitably go to ruin unless the business men of the country assert themselves as they did when they elected McKinley in 1896 and 1900
"The men who are doing all these things to business are good and patriotic Americans but they do not understand," declared the speaker. "It is a question of preserving' the Union. The first thing is that the business men of America should become vocal. Talk, agitate and explain. The trouble has been that the business men have taken all these aspersions lying down. Fight to clear the air. Try to make the people understand that business is honest, fair and just. If the men who elected McKinley will rally to the standard the task can be accomplished."

St. Mary's Easter exercise was a great success, a large audience witnessed the beautiful performances. The teachers and children were highly praised by everybody for their great success. Next Monday we shall celebrate the heart of our patron saint, St. Benedict the Moor. The celebration on that occasion will begin on Sunday night as an interesting sermon will be preached on the life and work of St. Benedict the Moor, by Rev. Father Dahlent of Macon.

St. Philip church.
A great day was experienced at St. Philip church on last Sunday from 3 o'clock in the morning to 10 gt night. Rev. Singleton's resurrection sermon was indeed very elfying and much appreciated by the large crowd that was out. Ninety seven persons were confirmed at 6 o'clock, just after the sermon. At 11 o'clock, Rev F L. Cash delivered an instructive sermon to the converts at the same hour. All new members were given the right hand of fellowship and joined in the communion with the old members who were present. The Sunday school had their Easter exercises at 3 o'clock p. m. and at 8:15 o'clock. Moving pictures of Bunyan's Pilgrim Progress were shown at the church on Wednesday

night. Blhop J. S. Flipper, en route to Springfield, Ga., was in the city Wednesday morning. Rev. Singleton accompanied him from here. Mrs. Dollie Delberg, the oldest member of St. Philip and one of the church's most active members, died on Monday and was buried from the church on Wednesday afternoon. Mrs. Delberg had been a member of St. Philip for more than fifty years. On next Monday night there will be a religious stercoptican show at the church. The junior choir, under the leadership of Prof. J. H. Whiti$ and J. W. Prince, is furnishing excellent music. The attendance at the services last Sunday was such that the seating' capacity of the church was taxed at every service. Tomorrow, Sunday, is pledge day and every member is expected to make good his obligation. The Y. M. C. A. will give an organ recital at the church on tomorrow afternoon. The main feature will be the rendition of several numbers on our new pipe organ by the organist of Christ church (white). The following services tomorrow: Prayer meeting, 5:30 a.m.; preaching, 11 a.m. and 8 p.m.; Sunday school, 2:45 p.m. and A. C. B. League at 7 p.m.
Second Baptist church.
On last Sunday afternoon, the pastor, Rev. W. Bolivar Davis, preached an interesting sermon on the subject "John the Baptist". The Sunday school met at the usual hour but for the rehearsal of the Easter exercises. At 6:30 pm, the B. Y. P. U. met and the members discussed the future plans of the union. There was no preaching at the evening service, this giving way to the Easter exercises of the Sunday school. The children all took off their parts well and the program was indeed very enjoyable. The ordinance of baptism will be observed at the 11 o'clock service tomorrow and the Lord's supper will be commemorated in the afternoon. Visitors are cordially invited to worship with us.
First Bryan Baptist Church.
On Sunday morning, an exceedingly large crowd attended the resurrection services. Rev. Wright read for the lesson St. Luke 24:1-20. His text was from St. John 2:19. At the close of his sermon, the choir sang "He arose". Rev. Wright then led the hymn "Amazing sight". At night the exercises of the Sunday school were much enjoyed. The children acted well their parts. Those who assisted in training them deserve much credit. Rev. Wright conducted the morning services and communion last Sunday at the Nicholsonboro Baptist church. Those who accompanied him spent a very pleasant day. Attend our services at any time, a cordial invitation awaits you.
Mt. Tabor Baptist Church.
The Easter exercises at the Mt. Tabor Baptist church proved an enjoyable affair and furnished a program that command attention from beginning to end. A sermon on "Parental Obligation" preceded the exercises, which consisted of recitations and solos. The Sunday school of which Mr. J. W. Agnew is superintendent, begins every Sunday at 3 o'clock.
Butler Presbyterian Cchurch
Butler Presbyterian church, corner of East Broad and Presidet street; Rev. S. T. Redd, pastor; residence, 213 East Broad street. The services were well attended last Sunday. At the morning service, the pastor preached on the subject "But some man will
say, how are the dead raised up, and with what body do they come?" The The Christian Endeavor meeting at six o'clock was much enjoyed. The duet rendered by Miss Anna Jenkins and Mr. Edward Jackson was indeed a real treat. At the evening hour, the children had their Easter exercises and those wishing to hear something good as well as pleasing should have been present. You are cordially invited to attend all of our services which are as follows: Sunday morning, 10:30; Sunday school, 3 p.m; Christian Endeavor, 7:30; holy sacrament, 8:30.

Lesson III.—Second Quarter, For April 18, 1915.
THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
Text of the Lesson, Ps. xxiii—Memory Verses, Ps. xxiii—Golden Text, Ps. xxiii, 1—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns.
This most familiar of all the psalms to many people is as farreaching as any and will have its complete fulfillment only in the kingdom when Isa. xl, 10, 11; Jer. xxiii, 5, 6; Ezek. xxxvii, 21-28, shall be fulfilled in the eyes of all nations, with every other prediction concerning Israel's future glory. All the true shepherds and shepherdesses of the Bible are suggestive of Christ and Israel, with some reference also to Christ and His church. He is primarily the Shepherd of Israel, leading Joseph like a flock, dwelling between the cherubim (Is. lxxx, 1). He is also the Good Shepherd giving His life for the sheep and giving eternal life to His sheep, the sheep of His pasture (John x, 11, 27, 28; Ps. c, 3). He is the Great Shepherd risen from the dead, by whom God works in His people that which is well pleasing in His sight (Heb. xill, 20, 21). He is also the chief Shepherd, who, at the resurrection of the just, will give the crowns to those who have won them and among others the crown of glory to those who have faithfully fed the flock (I Pet. v, 1-4).

All the shepherds, such as Abel, Jacob, Joseph, Moses and David, were wondrously typical of the Good Shepherd, and the women also, such as Rachel and Zipporah, who kept sheep, give us much to meditate upon, but all centers upon Him who is altogether lovely and of whom our souls say, "My meditation of Him shall be sweet; I will be glad in the Lord" (Song v, 16; Ps. cliv, 34). The sequences of Scripture are most interesting and helpful studies, and in Psalm xxil, xxil, xxiv, we have one of the most wonderful. Ps. xxil tells very fully of His sufferings, as if written by an eyewitness; speaks of His hands and feet pierced. His garments divided and lots cast upon His vesture, and quotes some of the very words fung at Him as He hung upon the cross, but it also tells of the resurrection and the kingdom. Ps. xxil suggests Israel's glory in the millennial kingdom, and Ps. xxiv. tells of the King of glory ruling the whole world in righteousness.

No one can truly say "The Lord is my Shepherd" who has not seen Him dying in their stead, bearing their sins in His own body and received Him as their own Saviour (Gal. i, 20; I Pet. ii, 24; John i, 12; Eph. i, 6, 7). Then only can we be sure that we shall never want any good thing, for He who spared not His own Son will with Him also freely give us all things (Ps. xxxiv, 9, 10; lxxxiv, 11; Rom. vili, 32). It is impossible that such a Shepherd could withhold from any of His sheep anything really good for them.
Johnson Undertaking Establishment Combined with
Pasturges of tender grass and waters of quietness (Ps. ii, margin), such would He have us enjoy always if we would only keep close to Him and not stray away like a lost sheep, choosing our own pasture and causing Him to grieve over us, saying, "Oh, that my people had hearkened unto me and Israel had walked in my ways" (Ps. lxxxl, 11-16). Although none of His sheep can ever perish, they may wander and need restoration, as when David said, "I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant." or, again, "Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation" (Ps. exix, 176; lt, 12). He will be glad to lead us in the paths of righteousness if we are only willing to be thus led. Thus only can we foretaste the kingdom and know something of its peace and quietness and assurance.

The expression "the shadow of death" is just one word and is found ten times in Job, four times in the Psalms and four times in the prophets. It may refer to the whole time of our sojourn here for we may be said to be always in the shadow of death, but the believer can always say, "I will fear no evil." for to the child of God death is always gain and very far better (Phil. 1, 21, 23). Death is never spoken of as the coming of Christ, for, although death brings gain to the be liever, it is always an enemy, the last enemy to be destroyed (I Cor. xv, 26). In life or death, if we are His, He is always with us to guide, comfort, sustain, protect us and assures us that He will never leave us or fail us (Deut. xxxl, 8; Isa. xll, 10, 13; Heb. xlll, 5).
The table in the presence of enemies will have a great fulfillment at the beginning of the next age, when He will come in glory for Israel's deliverance. It will then be a feast of fat things, when He will take away the rebuke of His people from off all the earth (Isa. xxv. 6-9). For the believer there is always a feast, and we may be day by day satisfied with the fatness of His house and drink of the river of His pleasures (Ps. xxxvi. 8). It is a reproach to the Lord when His people are seen seeking satisfaction at the world's table. When truly anointed with the Holy Spirit we shall so enjoy the Lord and His fullness that there shall be an overflow for others, but how few seem to overflow! Some one has said that with the Lord going before (John x. 4) and with goodness and mercy following (verse 6) we are cared for as only heaven can care for us. Then to think of our forever home, from which we shall go no more out (John xiv. 1-3); only unbelief can make us sad. May our hearts ever respond to "Let us be glad and rejoice and give honor to Him" (Rev. xix. 7).
THE PALM SHAVING PALACE In Wage Earners New Building. Pery R. Wright,
(Continued from first page) Booker T. Washington suggested that the colored people throughout the country call the attention of the rail road officials to the poor accommodation furnished the colored traveling public, the League sent a committee to take up the matter with the proper officials here.
The Weekly Letters.
For nearly a year Mr. J. C. Lindsay has been writing letters for the League which through the kindness of the editor of The Savannah Tribune have been published in that paper weekly. These letters have no doubt been the greatest single agency in effectively putting our cause before the public. As a result of this publicity we have received numerous requests for information in regard to the progress of the League. In order that we might not mislead anyone by merely stating our opinion as to whether the League has justified its existence we addressed letters of inquiry to a number of business men who are members of the Lea
gue asking them to forward us a brief statement in regard to the influence of the League upon their business. The replies were so gratifying that we are including several in this report. The letters follow: "Savannah, Ga., Feb, 27, 1915 Mr. W. W. Hill, Secretary Negro Business League, Dear Sir: In reply to yours of the 23rd inst., the local League has been a means of creating and enlarging the sentiment in favor of race patronage.
"It has also been successful in in bringing together the business men of the city and in its meetings proved the wisdom of co-operation.
"Our own business has been better patronized since the League's organization and a better spirit prevails in general.
"There is nothing to lose but everything to gain in the existence of a sincere Business League.
We are truly yours,
A member engaged in another line of business replied as follows:
Savannah, Ga. March 4, 1915
"Mr. W. W. Hill, Secretary Negro Business League,
"Dear Sir:
"In reply to your request for a statement of what influence the Business League may have had on my success in business, I have the honor to inform you that the influence of the Business League has been of a substantial help to my business, both in a concrete and in a general way.
"I count the Negro Business League one of the strongest assets in my business.
The proprietor of a business established in the seventies wrote as follows:
"Savannah, Ga., Feb. 27, 1915
"Mr. W. W. Hill, Secretary Negro Business League,
"Dear Sir:
"We can truly testify to the fact that the business atmosphere has been considerably changed for the better since the organization of the Savannah Branch of the National Negro Business League.
"We find a more unanimity of feeling among the men and an ardent desire for cooperation.
"Its publicity campaign through the columns of The Tribune and mass meetings, have put the people to thinking and to act in a beneficial way.
"The League enjoys the, fullest confidence of the people and is destined for greater good.
_____
We call especial attention to the following letter because it gives some interesting figures.
"Savannah, Ga., Feb., 27, 1915
"Mr. W. W. Hill, Secretary of the Business League.
"Replying to yours of the 23rd inst., I have to say that there is no way by which I can give an accurate account of the benefit the League has been to my business.
"I have a record of eleven hundred and eighty two dollars ($1,182.35) and thirty-five cents worth of sales made during 1914 which can be traced to the influence of the League. I am sure the total amount is much more than that.
"The League costs me twenty-five cents per month or three ($3.00) dollars a year.
"Very truly yours."
Summary
A very conservative estimation will show that the profit on the business referred to in the last letter was approximately two hundred and fifty dollars. The entire expense of running the League for that same period was one hundred and fifty dollars. That is just half what we need to
ARE THE GUILTY ONES MINDFUL?
Mr. Editor:
As a constant reader of The Tribune I wish to personally thank you for the timely editorial of April 3rd, relative to Odd Fellow articles that have recently appeared in your paper. It is discouraging to the brotherhood to find, instead of the wholesome, inspiring news of what the order in general is doing, a lot of personal matter that even the writers themselves must at times be ashamed of. I have always thought that "mud slinging" was a "poor vote getter" and so do the other brethren of the order, as past incidents have proven. Let every aspirant for office be mindful of his obligation and there will be small danger of, the stream "becoming muddy" or the water poluted by office crazed brothers. Every brother in the order will thank The Tribune for the stand it takes in refusing to publish anymore articles of) a reflective kind, they not only have a tendency to hurt the order but are very tiresome to the readers. That's right,.Mr. Editor, as Billy Sunday would say, "Make em come clean."
Jos. J. Brown, P. N. F., 1930, G. U. O of O. F.

run it properly.
We need hardly call attention to the limitless possibilities of such an organization if properly supported.
The organization has been as impartial as possible and, speaking broadly, each member has been benefited in proportion as he has been in position to receive it.
To-day color is no barrier to success in this city, thanks in part to the untiring efforts of the Business League.
New businesses have been established and under the inspiration of the League other kindred institutions have sprung up which will mean the making and saving of thousands of dollars for their members.
There have necessarily been many benefits which we know not of. Its influence has helped many who are not of its fold for we have incessantly pleaded the cause of the race and not simply and solely the League. We have sent out letters to individuals and organizations in which we have preached the doctrine, talked to individuals personally and delivered chance lectures to the people at public gatherings.
All these things and more the Negro Business League has done and we feel safe in saying it has made good. It has justified its existence.
W. W. HILL, Secretary

Raymond Baker, who was sentenced to life imprisonment this week for the death of his father and mother.
Pleasure at Death.
A wise man shall not be deprived of pleasure even when death shall common him, forasmuch as he has attained the delightful end of the best life, departing like a guest full and well satisfied. Having received life upon trust, and duly discharged that office, he acquilts himself at departing.—Epistetus.
To Run the Gantlet.
The word "gantlet" in "to run the gantlet" is improperly used. The word should be "gantlope." Phillips in his "World of Words" tells us that "to run the gauntelope" is a punishment among soldiers, the offender having to run, with his back bared, through the whole regiment and to receive a lash from a switch from every soldier. It is derived from Gant (Ghent), a town of Flanders, where the punishment was invented, and the Dutch word lope, running.
The man who can't afford to buy one; the man who prefers to own a good team of thoroughbreds; the man who doesn't mind the first cost, "but it's such an expense to run one;" the man who wouldn't have time to enjoy one the man who would like one all right "only I want to get my place paid for first"-they are all buying cars so fast that the factories can't keep up with orders. Before long there will not be enough pedestrians left to furnish short for the drivers.-Puck.
How Worth Started.
The noted Parisian dressmaker, Worth, owed his early success to the patronage of that famous personage of the third empire. Princess Pauline de Metternich, the wife of the Austrian ambassador to France. By her wit and numerous vagaries of dress and manner she created a sensation at the court of Napoleon III, and Eugenie. Therefore it was easy for Worth to become the most sought of the world's dressmakers when the princess approved his styles. Charles Worth, while so long the creator of French fashions, was an Englishman, born in Bourne, England, in 1825 and died in Paris in 1895.—Baltimore Star.
The Bingest Cracker.
The "kasabi" torta (we get our word "tart" from torta). of Hispanic-America is the biggest regularly made cracker on earth. It is made from the kasabi root and lightly fired in cakes about the size of a small parasol.
A cracker for a hat—such indeed is sometimes the use made by the Latin peons of the kasabi torta when needing a temporary sunshade (sombrero). The torta is always made bowl shaped so it can be balanced on the head without any particular effort—and provided no wind interferes. Rain, however, quickly soaks and collapses this remarkable and useful edible headgear.—London Express.
