The Savannah Tribune. VOLUME XXX Churchmen Hold Stormy Session CONSTERNATION FILLED BAPTIST 35TH MEETING Charter Nearly Caused Riot—Rev. A. D. Williams of Georgia Tossed Verbal Bomb. The 35th annual convention of the National Baptist Convention opened at the 1st Regiment Armory, and the Olive Baptist Church, Wednesday, in one of the largest gatherings in the history of the association. The often talked of split showed its spirit in the beginning of one of the most stormy meetings that had ever been witnessed in Chicago. Men and Women watched in amazement the verbal battles between the contending factions, which often came near terminating in blows. Police were stationed at the armory in large numbers; an injunction was reported to by one of the factions- Two metings were held in the same hall, the only dividing line being the distance and force that the voice that the other speaker could reach and drown' the voice of the other. Singing and yells were resorted to, to drown the voices of opponents as they attempted to talk; bitter personal arguments were used between individual members of each faction. It was a miniature war. The strongest fight was made over the new charter, which was presented by Rev. R. D. Brooks for adoption, which was discussed at length by Heri E. C. Morris, president of the board, and Dr. R. H. Boyd. The discus-sion was continued to Thursday with the house still hopefully divided, and the two factions facing each other from the speaker's stand, and the follower-dividing the speakers' back to back with chairs turned in opposite directions and the contending forces using every means possible to make it impossible for the other side to be heard. Hundreds sought the open and on the sidewalks, or left the meeting entirely. While the men were in heated discussion at the armory out at the Olive Baptist church, the headquarters of the women delegates, every thing was serene. It was one of the most splendid bodies of women that had ever gathered under the roof of that famous church. On Thursday Miss Nannie H. Burroughs of the Baptist training school in Washington, was the speaker of the day, the entire program being devoted to the interest of the training school—Cincinnati Idea. PINEY WOOD CLUB ROOMS The Piney Wood Club has opened club rooms at 525 Waldburg street, west, and they are very comfortably and conveniently arranged. The building which is a two story wooden structure, is large and airy. The first floor front room will be used as a meeting room and the two small rooms in the rear will serve as sitting rooms for ladies. The second floor consists of five rooms, the front room being used as a reception room. The building is well appointed and nicely adapted for the services of this popular club. The members' entrance will be on Waldburg street and the ladies' on Burroughs. The formal opening will take place on Thanksgiving day. DIED IN THE BLOOM OF LIFE Mr. Theodore Merchison, who had just entered manhood, was stricken by the grim reaper death on the night of September 12th after an illness of about five months. He was buried from the First Bryan Baptist Church, of which he was a member on Wednesday afternoon last. Rev. Howard Smith, in the absence of the pastor, conducted the ceremony. He is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. M. Merchison, a sister, Miss Romecita Merchison, and a brother, Master Frank Merchison. The many friends of the bereaved family extend their sympathy. DISSOLVED PARTNERSHIP The firm of Lewis and Barnard, tailors, has been dissolved and the business is now being conducted by Mr. A. P. Barnard at the same stand. MARRIED Mrs. M. L. Watson was quietly married to Mr. P. J. Jones at the parsonage of St. Philip A. M. E. $ ^{1} $ Shurch, on September 15th, 1915. Will be at home to friends, 636 East 32nd street. ECHOES.OF THE NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE MEETING IN BOSTON "Side Lights" on and the "Aftermath" of the Most Successful Session: (By R. W. Thompson) Every comparison between "fifteen years ago and now" found odds in favor of the League. A. B. Singfield held up the banner of Savannah, Ga., nobly, telling in emphatic language and unstudied eloquence the story of the growth of business enterprises among the Negro people of his home town. Mr. Singfield watched the proceedings closely and was one of the most potent factors on the floor of the convention. The policy of the Savannah Tribune in carrying a weekly letter on the doings of the local business league was highly commended. The example set by The Tribune should be followed wherever there is a local league and a newspaper of the race. The trolly ride was delightful. Seven car-loads of enthusiastic sight-sayers were carried all over the historic town, and were given an opportunity to see, with their own eyes such memorable spots as the Boston City Hall, the State House, the famous Boston Commons, the Cri-pus Attacks monument and the place where he fell in the first struggle of the Revolutionary war. the Shaw Memorial, the Old State House, Old South Church, Faneuil Hall, Bunker Hill monument, Harvard College, and the old homes of Longfellow and Lowell. The announcements in the officers' car were made in clean-cut and mellifluent tones by that orator and state-man. Stewart E. Hort, chairman of the Citizens' Committee. No one could go astray as to the program of each day, for the details were given most luminously at each session by Jacob W. Powell, the tireless chairman of the publicity committee. Mr. Powell was on the job from revelle to taps, and was a veritah ebureau of information. The Boy Scouts did yeoman service in assisting the housing committee. They were picture-que in khaki uniforms. The reception at the handsome $10.00Unity Club, 228 West Canton street, following the trolley ride, was one of the finest affairs of the week. The parlors and rear garden were crowded during the two hours allotted to the function. A luncheon was served, embracing all kinds of sandwiches. Boston baked beans with brown bread, cream and punch. The club is social and beneficial and numbers among its members the best young men of Boston. The president is John B. Morehead. Assisted by his officers the throng was presented individually, to Dr. and Mrs. Washington and the staff of the Business League. The "thriller" of the welcome addresses was that delivered Wednesday by William H. Lewis, former assistant attorney-general of the United States. His eulogium on the relation of the Negro business man to the salvation of the race and invitation to journey with him through an allegorical jauce covering the historical points of Boston, together with the lessons drawn from the world-wide conflicts, in which the darker people of the earth gave promise of coming into their own, constituted an oratorical gem of the purest ray serene. A rich vein of humor permeated the entire deliverance, which converted the grave and the gray into a delicious intellectual salad that satisfied every appetite. Mr. Lewis realized the grandeur of the occasion. He met it and mastered it. He was warmly congratulated by all. STATE MISSIONARY HERE. Rev. A. A. Mathis, state missionary and the National Baptist House representative will conduct a mass meeting on Sunday school workers tomorrow He will preach at the First A. B. Church, Franklin square, at 11 a. m., and at the Second Baptist Church at 8 p. m. MRS. ALLEN'S SCHOOL Mrs. Aurelia E. Allen's school of millinery and dressmaking will. open October 11th. A large enrollment is expected this year. SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 12TH, 1915 DR. N. A. THINNER DR. E. J. TURNER ELECTED HEAD OF KNIGHTS AND DAUGHTERS OF TABOR ___ The sad intelligence of the death of Mr. Luscius L. Lee of Atlanta, Ga., reached us on Monday, the day of his death. While his friends here were aware of his illness, the announcement of his death was a shock to them and it was received with much regret. Mr Lee is not only well known here, but all over the state. He was porty, good natured and always full of life. It was always a pleasure to his friends to have him around. He is especially well known by all of the members of the Odd Fellows. At one time he was Deputy Grand Master of the Order in the United States and was Grand Treasurer of the District Grand Lodge of this state. He was also a member of Crystal Lodge No 112, of Masons of Atlanta and at the time of his death chief mentor of the Knights of Tabor of the state. Mr. Lee was 61 years of age, having been born in Covington, Ga., in 1854. He has been living Atlanta for many years, and conducted the foremost undertaking establishment in the state. He is survived by a son, Mr. Wm. S. Lee; one daughter, Mrs. Addle, L. Jackson; two brothers, Messrs. Thomas and B. C. Lee, the latter of Washington, D. C.; two sisters, Mrs. Lessie R. Ware and Mrs. Gussle Knox; eight grand children, several nieces and nephews, and hundreds of friends. All of his relatives are in Atlanta, except one brother who resides in Washington. A very touching scene was enacted at the dying moment of Mr. Lee. He held the hands of his grand son Ralph, clasped in his until his spirit had flown. He was fond of little Ralph, who has neither mother nor father. The funeral will take place tomorrow from Big Bethel A. M. E. Church, at 2 o'clock p. m. It will be largely attended, and all of the orders of which he was a member will attend. The bereaved family, has the sympathy of all of their friends. ORDER HOLDS FINE SESSION AT ASBURY CHURCH 200 Delegates Here Resolution on Death of Chief Grand Mentor L. L. Lee Passed by Convention—Order in good Financial Condition—Meet Next in Americus In one of the most harmonious sessions in the history of the order, the International Order of Twleve, Knights and Daughters of Tabor of Georgia, held their thirteenth annual session here this week and elected Dr. E. J. Turner, of Columbus, Grand Chief Mentor. The convention assembled Tuesday at Asbury M. E. Church, Gwinnett street, and adjourned Thursday night about 11 o'clock. Owing to the death in Atlanta this week of Grand Chief Mentor L. L. Lee, who was head of the order for the past four years, there was much interest manifested in the fight for this position. The two candidates for the office were Dr. E. J. Turner, of Columbus, and E. W. Sparks of Atlanta, the former winning out on the first ballot by a comfortable margin. Dr. L. M. Hill of Atlanta was re-elected chief grand scribe, no one opposing him for the position. D. D. Simpson, of Waycross, was elected Treasurer over Tom Holmes of Atlanta and Mrs. Sarah Wade, also of Atlanta, was elected grand recorder. Mrs. E. Lock, of Thomaston, was re-elected chief grand priestess. The report of Chief Grand Scribe Dr. L. M. Hill, which was in pamphlet form, was received with much enthusiasm by the body. It showed the order to be in excellent condition both numerically and financially. He gave the number of tents in the state to be 24; temples, 35; and tabernacles, 75, the total numerical strength being about 3,000. The recent death of the past grand chief L. L. Lee, cast quite a gloom over the convention and appropriate resolutions were passed by the body on his death. The out of town convention delegates were accorded a very enjoyable time by the local committee which had charge of their entertainment and they all spoke in the highest terms of their stay here. The next session of the convention goes to Americus. Dr. DANIELS BACK HOME Dr. B. W. S. Daniels, one of the three Odd Fellow commissioners to the Jubilee and Exposition, which took place in Chicago, Ill., a few weeks, ago, has returned home. The other commissioners representing the Odd Fellows were James Adair of New York and Major Charles Colburn of Wilmington, Del. Dr. Daniels reports the exposition as being a great success. He was one of the speakers on Odd Fellows day. ABLE EXPOSITION OF WORK OF THE ODD FELLOWS Biennial Report of Grand Secretary Davis in Pamphlet Form. We have been favored with the biennial report of the Grand Secretary B. J. Davis, of District Grand Lodge No. 18, G. U. O. of O. F., and that of the Sinking Fund Commission. In this report Mr. Davis gave an able expoition of the work accomplished by him and in a plain and business like manner, gave account of his stewardship. The report makes interesting reading and proves what can be accomplished by able leadership and united action. The report proves that this order in Georgia is in a healthy condition, despite the fact of there being so much factional feeling and bitterness charged during the past two years. The recent Athens's meeting goes into history as one of the best ever held and it will do much to influence harmony and good will in the state. This will not be wholly so, because there will always be those of opposite opinions who, will never be convinced. All of the members of this order should join in pushing its mammoth affairs and give credit to those who are doing the work. NATIONAL BAPTIST CONVENTION TO MEET IN SAVANNAH We have received a telegram signed by the Rev. W. Bollvar Davis and Rev. T. Jefferson Goodall, stating that they were successful in having the National Baptist Convention to meet in this city in 1916. Several other places opposed Savannah for this honor and offered great inducement, but to no avail. Much credit is due these two able divines and the others, Reverendls Wright, Gray Whitmire, Davis and those who associated with them. EUREKA CLUB HOLDS INTERESTING INSTALLATION The Eureka Aid and Athletic Club held their annual installation of officers at their club room, Masonic temple, on Monday night. They had as their guests the ladies' branch of the club and the officers of the Twilight Reapers Aid and Social Club and the Savannah Home Association. Mr. H. T. Singleton acted as installing officer and performed his part of the ceremony with much credit. After the officers were installed, the president for the ensuing term, Mr. H. S. Scott, took charge of the meeting. He made a few remarks then called upon one of the representatives of the Savannah Home Association, who spoke briefly on the need of co-operation. At the conclusion of his remarks the members and guests repaired to the dining room where a sumptus repast awaited them. At the table Mr. Joseph J. Brown acted as toast master. Talks were then made by the president of the ladies' branch, Mrs. Lizzie Biggins, and by a representative of the Twilight Reapers Aid and Social Club. The refreshments were very tastily prepared and the serving was under the direction of Mr. John A. Gadsden, chairman of house. Mr. Gadsden has held this position for five years and is very popular among the members. His business like manner in handling this part of the club's affairs has brought much success. The newly elected officers are men of experience and a successful operation of the club will be conducted under their administration. The following are the officers: H. S. Scott, president; T. J. Carter, vice-president; T. H. Green, financial secretary; Chas N. Williams, recording secretary; Chas M. Mathis, treasurer; L. H. B. Goodwin, advocate; B. H. Hicks, chaplain; John A. Gadsden, chairman of house; Walter Seny, sergeant-at-arms. The Eureka Club is one of the foremost organizations of its kind in the city and has made great progress. Its membership is probably the largest of any civic society here. HEALTH VIEWS. Next Wednesday night at Mt. Bethel Baptist church, Bryan' near Lumber street, Rev. W. A. Daughtry, pastor; pictures depicting health and sanitary conditions, with several civic views will be shown, and short talks on each given. This will be under the auspices of Dr. W. A. Harris, who has done a great deal of unselfish work for the betterment of the health condition of our people in this city. In this he is being encouraged by the Urban League. NUMBER 52 Free Kindergarten Will Be Opened Free Kindergarten Will Be Opened BY THE CONGREGATIONAL BROTH ERHOOD October First Will be the Opening of This New and Much Needed A free kindergarten will be opened October-first in the annex of the First Congregational church. It will be conducted under the auspices of the Congregational Brotherhood. Miss Lucile B. Spencer has been selected as the teacher. She is a well trained kindergartener, having graduated from the kindergarten department of Atlanta University, and having had a year's experience in this work at Haines Institute, Augusta. Miss Spencer is the only trained colored kindergartener in the city, and this school will indeed be a real kindergarten institution. Parents who desire their children to enter school should see Miss Spencer at 214 Park avenue, east. Only children between three and six years of age will be taken. HOME - BOYS. KEPT ROOSTERS FROM CROWING. The Royal Roosters' base ball club failed to crow as they are generally known to do, when they met the Sayannah Home Boys, at Athletic park on last Monday afternoon. The game which was played before about half hundred spectators was full of all kinds of stunts. The Roosters had defeated every team that faced them this season met their waterloo when they bumped up against the Home Boys. They proved no match for the Home Boys and went down in defeat by a score of 12 to 5. In the first inning the Home Boys began working on Henry Howell who was doing the twirling for the Roosters and who, by the way, has the reputation of being the best colored local pitcher, by putting three runs over the plate. In the same inning the Roosters were blanked by Patterson, who wrenched his arm in this inning and was displaced at the close of it by Croker. The score was tied by the Roosters in the second inning and remained so until the fifth when they scored again. In the seventh inning the Home boys put one over tipping the score again, but in the same inning the Roosters scored again, the score at the close of the seventh inning standing 5 to 4 in favor of the Roosters. The Home Boys came in in the eighth inning and pounded Howell at will and had him up in the air. During the onslaught the Home Boys rent the air with yells and when the mist had rolled away the victors had added eight more runs to their credit. Howell was completely knocked out of the box in this inning, and the "sick chickens" walked off the diamond refusing to continue the game. This game is looked upon as a great victory by the Home Boys because of their defeating a club which had taken all the games it had played up to that time. Jesse Sherman of the Home Boys was the star of the day, pulling down a long fly to center, which seemed impossible. The batteries were: Patterson, Croker and Kibbons for the Home Boys and Howell and Johnson for the Roosters. Home Boys 12 runs, 12 hits, and 5 errors; Roosters 5 runs, 6 hits and 3 errors; umpire 'Small. PROF. WILLIAMS GOES TO BIRMINGHAM, ALA. Prof. E. C. Williams, who for the past several years has been doing special work with the Guaranty Mutual Life Insurance Company, will leave Monday for Birmingham, Ala., where he will be in charge of the Latin department of Miles Memorint College. GOLDEN CIRCLE HOLDS SESSION The Golden Circle is holding its grand lodge session here at the F. A. B. Church, Franklin square. The meeting is being presided over by Honorable Grand Ruler John Walthour. The meeting convened on last Wednesday morning and will probably close today. A number of delegates from out of town are in attendance. This order was instituted several years ago in this city and has grown rapidly. It has a large membership, and is, composed mostly of women. It is likely that all the present officers will be re-elected. The Sensible and Comfortable in Dress The Sensible and Comfortable in Dress We May Follow Fashion to the Last Letter Without a Misgiving. THE NEW PLAID BLOUSE Ney York September 15. With an amiability as surprising as it is sudden, Dame Fashion has introduced a sensible dress—she has done it more thoroughly, too, going into every detail, than the most rigid dress reformer could ever have hoped for. The war, with its sobering influence, has done more at one stroke than could have been accomplished by years and years of arguments. The short, full skirt, the trim dark tailored suit, sparsely and smartly trimmed hats, good sensible, rather high, walking boots with straight heels, washable gloves—and so down to the last detail. All this has been brought about with no sacrifice of becomingness or chic. The Popularity of "Sport Clothes" Time was, not very long ago, when "sports clothes" were left without a moment of hesitation, to the wardrobes of the leisure class, who had time for sports; nowadays, we find "sport © MCCALL Frock of Taffeta and Crepe Georgette clothes" or in other words, comfortable, sensible clothes, in every wardrobe. It is quite as exhilarating as the walk itself to come down the avenue any of these crisp, refreshing mornings behind a maid or matron dressed for walking. All Paris walks in the Bois these days, you know, and so we might say all New York walk on the avenues, unless we except those who select the Drive because of its brisk river breeze. The smart suit of tweed cut Norfolk fashion, with short pleated or circular skirt, plenty of pockets both for use and for chic; a small hat, heavy gloves, and heavy shoes, in tan or black, is a favored costume. Then there is the girl with a sport skirt of corduroy, coat of vividly colored velours with hat of velours, and low heels shoes of tan. Their stride has all the grace of movement of the athlete, not hampered by tight skirts, unsteady heels, or discomfort of any kind. The Separate Skirt. Since the introduction of the shirt-waist, ever so long ago, the separate skirt has had its own special niche in the will dressed woman's wardrobe; this season it promises to be even more useful than ever before. It is made moderately short, flares in the approved fashion, and is finished with a belt at the normal waist line or slightly above the normal. It is as conservative or as much trimmed as fancy dictates. Perfectly plain, depending upon material and cut alone for effect, it is smart; trimmed with line after line of stitching and quantities of buttons, it is also smart—in a different way. The New Plaid Blouse Chief among the pleasing novelties in the blouse line, we must place the blouse of plain taffeta. The plaids or checks are not pronounced: coloring are soft, almost invisible, harmonizing well with the suit of dark blue serge or gabardine. The green and blue combinations are most popular although one sees also some attractive reds combined with blue or green. These blouses are especially suited to the tallored suit. The crepe de chine blouse still holds its own for suit wear, too, in soft pastel pink, yellow and lavender. The open collar is still worn, but among the newest and smartest of the fall and winter blouses one sees the high collar in its various forms. There is no doubt that the high collar is more becoming than the low one to the majority of women. To make a compromise with comfort, many of us will wear them high in neck and open to below the curve of the throat in front. This style of collar has a softening, becoming effect especially attractive with coat suits. A Word or Two on Materials A word of two on materials For walking suits and skirts these is no more satisfactory material than tweed; this is being turned out in our American mills this season in some wonderfully attractive mixtures—warm, light of weight and of excellent quality. The wool checks and plaids are effective too; there is quite a tendency this season to use the Glen © LICCALL Urquhart and the various other men's suiting plaids for women's suits and skirts; when carefully tailored the result is unusually smart as well as being most practical. The use of leather for trimming the purely out of door suit is growing in favor; leather cuffs, belt and often collar, are features of some of the new suits. For those to whom this novelty appeals—there is the piping of sleeve or kid in some soft harmonizing shade which may be applied to suit or frock even by those who make their own clothes. The modish woman this season leaves no loophole for criticism by those who invariably scoff at fashion—even if she lives up to the last letter in her street clothes. Most of us too will, because of these new fashions, join the out-of-door girl in her morning walk. CO-OPERATIVE COMPETITION Ashort Cut to Racial Prosperity "If the colored grocery men could in "If the colored grocerymen could in selves from bad creditors, it would do much to help them to greater success." This statement was made at a recent meeting of the local Negro Business League of Tuskegee, Ala. Progressive white merchants in many localities are now co-operating to regulate the extension of credit and to extend their business through joint advertising plans and uniform system of price and store service. Colored men who happen to be in the same line have petty jealousies among themselves which tend to weaken their effort. Instead of "knocking" and trying to undersell one another, they should combine for the common cause—reaching the strings of the colored family purse which is constantly open to purchase food, clothing, and other necessities. Such co-operation would eliminate duplication of effort and thereby increase returns at decreased cost of selling. If our business men in each community would come together in accordance with this suggestion, the following plan would, if put into operation, do much to reduce losses from bad debts: 1 Call a meeting of all coldred business men and instruct each man to bring in a list of his customers. 2 Combined these lists alphabetically into one complete list and opposite the name and address of each customer place some symbol to indicate their rating. For instance, "AI" might represent "good risk"; "IE3" might represent "slow pay, but responsible"; etc., until every person in the town has been listed and rated so as to protect these business men. 3. Each merchant could then keep a complete list of these names for reference when about to extend credit to a customer. Great care should be taken, however, in keeping the meaning of the symbols confined to the knowledge of the business men who have co-operated under the plan. This list being no more than a confidential understanding between these men for their mutual protection. Access to this list would be of great value to grocers, tailors, shoemakers, doctors, dentists and all business and professional men of the race. In somewhat the same way these merchants could co-operate to advertise their business. A half page in the local colored paper may be purchased and several forceful and pointed advertisements of the "reason-why" style could be inserted in this space to show the many reasons why colored people should patronize colored business enterprises and some where in the advertisement the names of the local merchants who have taken part in the plan should be inserted, and would in that way be associated with an idea which is both novel and progressive. An endless variety of these advertisements can be prepared on account of the breath of the subject and the many reasons which may be advanced. At the same time this plan would secure more active co-operation from the colored publisher to the mutual benefit of the members of the race. In case no colored paper is published in that community, the matter may be put up in the shape of a circular or a letter and sent direct to every colored person in the city. Cooperative buying should be considered under this discussion, but we shall reserve it for a separate talk, since its field is somewhat complicated and it could best accomplished after the credit and advertising plans are worked out and confidence between the merchants established. Detailed information concerning these plans will be furnished to the business men of any community, free of charge. If a letter is addressed to Emmett J. Scott, secretary, the National Negro Business League, Tuskegee, Institute, Ala. Local Negro Business Leagues should take steps to organize committees at once, to organize these credit and advertising clubs, and in communities where no leagues are in operation a letter should be addressed to the secretary of the National Negro Business League concerning them. NOTES ON RACIAL PROGRESS Reported by the National Negro Business League. The National Association of Colored Graduate Nurses recently held their annual meeting at Raleigh, N. C. The sessions were attended by delegates from many states and cities. The Negro Odd Fellows of Georgia have in successful operation a Model Demonstration Farm near Macon, Ga. The farm consists of 281 acres, 110 of which are under cultivation. The colored Federated Charities of Memphis, Teum., have just published their annual report. During the past year they have reached and helped over-five thousand persons. H. C. Shepherd is president and V. W. Broughton, secretary. Joseph J. Attwell has been appointed general manager of the South Carolina division of the North Carolina Mutual Insurance Company; the well known Negro insurance company of Durham, N. C. Mr. Attwell will have his headquarters at Columbia, S. C.; Dr. H. M. Green of Knoxville, Tenn., has done very commendable work this summer in connection with bettering the health of the children of his county. Recently a large group of children were his guests for car rides to nearby cities. Mrs. J. C. Horton of Guthrie, Okla., was recently re-elected president of the Oklahoma State Federation of Negro Woman's Clubs. Mrs. Horton is widely known for her successful work in establishing a library for the colored people of her city. The Supreme Lodge of the Knights of Pythias which recently met at Columbus, Ohio, reported some very substantial financial and numerical advancement. Over half a million dollars have been handled through the executive officers since the last meeting and the enrollment of members now stands 250,000 of the Pythians and S7,000 of the Courts of Calanthe. A Thought for the Week. A Local League in Action—A report from the local Negro Business League of St. Joseph, Missouri, says in part: "The local league here has increased its membership threefold and is endeavoring to fill the place in the community for which it is ordained. The outlook to that end is very encouraging. The basic plan of action as adopted is 'one thing at a time.' For the present the task before us is that of getting our institution of charity, a colored hospital and orphanage for Northwestern Missouri, organized and endowed. Of course there are many minor activities engaging our attention from time to time as our league is becoming the clearing house for all ideas, projects and efforts of a social and economic nature." The verse found in Genesis ii, "And the whole earth was of one language and of one people," has given rise to much speculation as to the language spoken on the earth previous to the "confusion of tongues." According to many authorities, Hebrew was the language spoken by Adam, while others state that Hebrew, Arabic and Chaldee are simply dialects of the original tongue. The Persians assert that there were three primitive languages. The Arabic, being the most persuasive, was used by the serpent in addressing Eve; the Persian, being the most poetic, was spoken by Adam and Eve, and the Turkish, being the most menacing, was employed by the angel when driving the guilty pair from the garden of Eden. Herodotus says that Psammetichus, king of Egypt, wishing to learn the language that would naturally be spoken by a person, caused two infants to be carefully guarded and kept from all verbal intercourse. When brought before him the first word the children uttered was bekos, the Phrygian for bread, whereupon it was at once asserted the Phrygian was the primeval or oldest tongue—Philadelphia Press. For the Ultra Precise. Professor Thomas R. Lounsbury said at Cambridge in a talk on English: "But precision can be carried too far. The ultra precise, even when logically right, are really wrong. "An ultra precise professor went into a hardware shop and said: "Show me a shears, please." "You mean a pair of shears, don't you?" said the dealer. "No," said the professor. "I mean what I say. I mean a shears." "The dealer took down a box of shears. "Look here, professor," he said. "Aren't there two blades here? And don't two make a pair? "Well, you've got two legs. Does that make you a pair of men?" And the professor smiled at the dealer triumphantly through his spectacles. "He was logically right, but, really, he was wrong."—Philadelphia Bulletin. What It Is Like to Fly. In "Air Craft In the Great War," by Claude Grahame-White and Harry Harper, an answer to the question "What is it like to fly?" is brief: The question has lost novelty, yet it has never been answered—never, that is to say, in a manner wholly convincing. The reason is that the sensation is indescribable—"like nothing else on earth," has a passenger has said. If you can imagine yourself gliding over a smooth surface of ice on skates you cannot feel and which make no noise, that may convey some faint idea perhaps of the feelings you experience after leaving ground. You are supported on something, yet you are not supported. You look down, and there is nothing below you but an empty void. Yet the machine rides firmly and securely, as though you were in a motorcar on the smoothest road. What Is a Placer? A placer is an unconsolidated deposit accumulated by mechanical processes, carrying one or more minerals in commercial quantities. All placers are secondary deposits—that is, the material of which they are composed was originally derived by erosion of bedrock. Although it is undoubtedly true that under certain conditions nuggets of placer gold have been enlarged through chemical precipitation, yet this action is a negligible quantity in placers. Placers may be derived solely by rock weathering without water sorting, but more commonly are the result of water transportation, sorting and deposition. Many of the richest placers are those formed by the erosion of older placers and the reconcentration of their gold. George's Father: Augustine Washington, the father of George Washington, was engaged in 1732 in making pig iron at Accokeek furnace, in Stafford county, Va., about fifteen miles from Fredericksburg, when his famous son was born. This furnace had been built by the Principio company, composed of English capitalists, as early as 1726 on land owned by Augustine Washington, aggregating about 1,000 acres and containing iron ore, Mr. Washington becoming the owner of one-sixth of the furnace property in consideration of the transfer of his land to the company. A Chinese Gutshberg. There is pretty good evidence of a Chinese Gutenberg, one Pl Ching, who in 1041 carved cubes of porcelain paste with Chinese characters, afterward baked them and "set" the porcelain type by help of parallel wires on a plate of iron in a cement bed. It is certain that the art of printing was known in the Celestial empire for centuries before it came to light in Europe. Feminine "Short and Ugly."

Order to-day. Gold In Ancient Rome. William Jacob in his "History of the Precious Metals" estimates from the accounts given by the Roman writers that in the reign of Augustus, the first of the emperors, when Rome was at the height of its power, the amount of gold in the Roman empire was nearly $2,000,000,000. This vast treasure had been gathered chiefly by conquest from various nations of Europe, Asia and Africa. There had been extensive mines in Spain and in the Atlas mountains of north Africa, but their yield in the wealth of kings and of cities in Asia and Egypt had been despoiled and carried away to enrich the conquerors. Driving the East Home. There are various methods, diplomatic or brusque, of notifying an unsatisfactory employee of his dismissal. The most picturesque and original of methods was that which Uncle Jimmy Gilbert used to use in his printing office. When a new man came Uncle Jimmy drove a nail in the wall for him to hang his hat and coat on. Some morning the man would come to work and find the nail driven in up to the head. He knew that he was through then. The Eidgety Bachelor "But why do you put your friend's things in the dining room?"

The old idea that frogs are sometimes rained down from the upper regions rests, upon a silly superstition.

"Well, anunty, what are your thochts about marryin'?" asked a young woman in Scotland the other day of her aunt, a decent body who had reached the shady side of life without having committed matrimony. "'Deed, lassie,' frankly replied the old lady, "I've had but three thochts about it a' my days, an' the last is like to be the longest. First then, when I was young, like yourself', I thocht.

Besides being the patron saint of England St. George is also patron of Moscow, on whose arms there figures the picture of the saint slaying the dragon. A famous Russian military decoration—the Order of St. George—which was founded by Catherine the second—also commemorates the saint in Russia. It may incidentally be pointed out that while St. George was adopted as the "military protector" of England early in the thirteenth century the patron of England had for five centuries previously been St. Peter, which helps to explain why more churches have in England been dedicated to that saint than to any other.—London Mirror. $ ^{1} $ The Main Reason.

Saturday September 18th, 1915 We are in need of three more school buildings in order to accommodate all of the colored school children. Our farmers are being greatly benefited by the demonstration meetings that are being held in the several communities. All of our farmers should take advantage of these demonstrations. Within two more weeks the public schools will be open. This is a time when we are caused to feel badly along with hundreds of parents who will be unable to secure seats for their children. By an overwhelming vote the state of South Carolina has done away with local option and adopted state wide prohibition. This becomes effective January first 1916. After this date the boys will only be able to receive, legally, one gallon per month. Once in a while reports are made of some trusted employees going wrong. No race is free of such a weakness, but as colored men, more is expected of us than of the white brother. Those of our young men who are holding positions of trust should be very careful in their actions. They should remain honest, straightforward, efficient and faithful. It is reported that Georgia and Mississippi are the only two states without a compulsory school law. This is not a commendable position for either state. It is a notable fact that both of these states lead the column of lawlessness and lynchings in the United States. There is no doubt about it, the lack of educational training has a great deal to do with a person's respect for law. The differences among the Baptist brethren in Chicago during the past week are indeed regretted. Such actions are only making true the assertion in some quarters, that we are not able to manage large affairs. There is no doubt that the cause leading up to the differences are great and grave, but as conscientious christian leaders, and men of ability, there should be one common ground upon which they could meet and settle the differences. It is the hope of all of us that better judgment may prevail, and before the expiration of the next few months, the great Baptist host in this country will again be united for active and effective work for the cause they represent and of the honor and glory of the Holy One whom they worship. The county bond election takes place on Tuesday. Those of our voters who are registered for this election should avail themselves of this opportunity and cast their ballot in favor of bonds. It means progressiveness and improvements, and each of these will benefit us in a no uncertain way. The road to Tybee means that hundreds of colored men will be given employment in its construction will enhance the value of the property it borders and give the county increased taxes. Not one of us should be against the sum allotted for school purposes. From this sum the colored children should at least be given a new school building, and the renovating of two of the present old buildings. The sum for reformatory, prison building and the court house are all needed. As colored men we will show our deep interest in this matter by depositing our votes for bonds. WEDDING ANNIVERSARY Mr. and Mry. Thos. T. Freeman celebrated their twelfth wedding anniversary on last Tuesday evening at their residence, 664 Perry street, east. The house was artistically decorated for the occasion and the 75 guests present, several of whom were from out of town, spent an enjoyable evening. Many useful presents were received. M. H. H. W. R.

One mournful year has vanished, Think we while the tear drops start, But the memory of my dear husband our papa, Still is fresh within our hearts. Oh, the misery of that dreary afternoon When we stood around his bed, Till death stole upon him softly And we knew his soul had fled. Oh, since then our lives are saddened, Since that day our hopes are slain, But his voice seems sweetly saying "Courage, we shall meet again." Oft we wander to the grave yard, Flowers to strew with tender care On the grave of my dear husband and our dear papa Who is sweetly resting there. Dearest grandpapa, how I loved you, How I miss thy fond embrace; Oh, how happy I will be dear grandpapa When I meet you face to face. Wife, Mrs. W. R. Fields. Children, Mr. Robert B.

REAL ESTATE LOTS FOR SALE EAST SIDE --- As Masons we should endeavor to cultivate a disposition that will be agreeable to all mankind. In other words, we should instill into our daily life the true teachings of Masonry so that the profane world can see that there is true merit in Masonry. When we do this we will have more—seekers after mystic rites.—The Masonic News. Support the Master. A Mason's first duty as a Mason is to tender his moral support to Masonry generally by having and practicing the precepts of Masonry and to his lodge in particular by a regular attendance. It is a mistaken idea that the Master is the lodge, he is more to be consider the servant of the lodge, whose duty it is to be ready at all times to serve the best interest of the lodge as a whole and every individual member upon call. His work is entirely a work of love, tendered for no other consideration than the pleasure that the giving brings. There, is, however, a fervent prayer prayer in the heart of every Master, the same prayer that eminated from the heart of the shepherd, who has only the welfare of his flock at heart, and who, burdened as he is with the heavy responsibilities to which his brethren have called him, pleads but for the undivided support and suffrage and most of all, a regular attendance at lodge. Have you ever stopped to realize the impression that your lodge would make on you, when you were initiated, if only the officers were present? Every brother is justly proud of his lodge. This pride should manifest itself by a regular attendance, for by attending you support the dignity of the ceremonies, the officers are inspired to put forth their best efforts and to harmonize the Lodge to a desirable level of common intercourse. The officers of a Masonic lodge have the same desire to enjoy the fire-side on lodge nights; their daily labor entitle them to the same freedom and privilege that other brethren enjoy, still the demand that they be at their place of duty compels them to be unconscious of their desires in order that the lodge may proper and that the tenets of Masonry may be perpetuated to presterity.—Selected. The Church and the Lodge Church officers, not members of the fraternity, sometimes find fault with Freemasonry, complaining that members of the craft substitute the lodge for the church, says a Masonic writer. It is not the province of any lodge to substitute itself for any church, nor its tenets for those of any religious sect, and, for this reason among others, our lodges do not tran-act business at Sunday sessions. But if, in the demonstration of Masonic tenets a brother is found practicing the doctrines of a pure religion as defined by an apostle of the church, he should not be censured but encouraged. "Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this: to visit the widow and the fatherless in their affliction, and to keep himself unpotted from the world." An attractive church service will never fail to appeal to man, especially when that church organization throughout its membership exemplifies the beauty of its doctrines in the daily routine of life. No Mason should fear for the future of the fraternity and our country, so long as we are true to the tenets of our profession and firm in our demands for freedom in education and liberty in religion.—Masonic Sentinel. Chief Glory of Freemasonry. The chief glory of Masonry is, that it levels all the barriers that intervene between individuals and communities, and brings together upon a plane of common equality persons of the most diverse opinions, occupations and interests. Overleaping all the boundaries of selfishness and exclusiveness; overruling all social and class distinctions, breaking down all the partitions of bigotry and intolerance, it unites in common object the good and true of all pursuits, opinions and languages. The lodge can never become the exclusive creature of any social, political or religious class or sect, because it is the joint possession of the best representatives of all classes and conditions. Here upon the level—the symbol of equality—the rich and poor, the high and low, the titled prince and the sturdy yeoman, forget all differences of rank and station, unite their best endeavor for the highest good of each and all. Here the best representatives of the various church creeds and the most diverse theological sentiments stand side by side without a single test between them! Here the leaders of opposing parties and rival factions forget their intrigues, and catching the spirit of loyal sympathy and philanthropy breathed from every lesson of the Order, their hearts are melted into responsive love and fraternal peace. Here nobility of birth and blood is superceded by that higher nobility which is disposition and life. Here the crown of royalty and the scepter of authority belonging to those most distinguished for virtue and honor. Here all languages are melted into words and symbols conveying the same meaning to all minds, and bearing the same significance in all circles. Of course, it is not assumed that these noble and honorable aims are never lost sight of by persons who have sought and obtained the fellowship of the Order. Bad men sometimes conceal their selfish designs so skillfully that the closest scrutiny fail to impress them. But the object, of Freemasonry to mite and harmonize in a benevolent work, the best representative of all theological and governmental opinions, is not the less apparent on this account. And that its influence in this direction has been exceedingly potential and beneficent no one acquainted with the facts, in the case will pretend to deny. The most important incorrigible political zealot, and the most intolerable bigot meet in the lodge room, and heartily fraternalize with others of the most dissimilar associations and convictions. Here upon the level the antipodes of political and theological sentiments meet and join hands; and here the good and true of all classes and conditions have realized, in the fullest and sweetest sense, the Psalmist's words: "Behold how good and pleasant it is for brethren 40 dwell together in unity;"—Masonle Selections. A Masonel lodge is the place where brethren may be most easily restored to harmony. The lodge is the clearing house for misunderstandings that keep brethren apart. It would cost but little if each Masonic lodge would start a Masonic Library. Begin in a small way; it is wonderful how they would grow. The Truth that Makes Men Free The Truth that Makes Men Free Some day, when the cloud of prejudice has been dispelled by the searchlight of truth, the world will honor Masonry for its heroic service to freedom of thought and the liberty of birth. No part of its ministry has been more noble, no principle of its teaching has been more precious than its age-long and unwavering demand for the right and duty of every soul to seek that light by which no man was ever injured, and that truth which makes men free. Down through the ages—often when the highest crime was not murder, but thinking, and when human conscience was dragged as a slave at the wheel of the eclesiastical chariot—always and everywhere Masonry has stood for the right of the soul to know the truth, and to look up hidden from the lap of earth into the face of Him in whose great hand it stands. Not freedom from faith, but freedom of faith, has been its watchword, on the grounds that a despotism is the mother of anarchy, so bigoted dogmatism is the prolific source of skepticism.—Selected. A Roman Dinner. A Roman dinner at the house of a wealthy man consisted chiefly of three courses. All sorts of stimulants to the appetite were first served up, and eggs were indispensable to the first course. Among the various dishes we may instance the guinea hen, peasant, nightingale and the thrush as birds most in repute. The Roman gormands held peacocks in great estimation, especially their tongues. Macrobius states that they were first eaten by Hortensius, the orator, and acquired such repute that a single peacock was sold for 50 denaril, the denarius being equal to about eightpence halfpenny of English money.—Chambers' Journal. CONSCIOUS VIRTUE Conscious virtue is the only foundation of all happiness, for riches, power, rank or whatever, in the common acceptance of the world, is supposed to constitute happiness will never quiet, much less cure, the inward pangs of guilt.—Lord Chesterfield. Only Once. Two old ladies, both of whom were well cared for, were once conversing about their affairs. One was a jolly old lady, while the other was of a sour disposition. "Well, well," said the jolly one, "it's pleasant to be, old. We get the best of everything—the easiest chairs, the best places, the tenderest morsels"—"Yes, yes," sighed the other, forced to admit that her life was an easy one, "that's all very true, but what's the use? We can't be old but once." Youth's Companion. Greetings In China. The Chinese salutation when friends meet consists in clasping the left hand with the right and waving it up and down, at the same time bowing deeply, or, if unusual respect is wished to be evinced, the Chinaman bows as low as possible, swinging his clasped hands between his legs backward and forward. Knows His Business. "You may have to play many parts in life, my son, but you don't have to play the devil," says a Georgia philosopher. "He's equal to performing that task himself without a flaw in the work."-Atlanta Constitution. SUNDAY SCHOOL Lesson XIII.—Third Quarter, For Sept. 26, 1915 Text of the Lesson, Ps. Ixxii, Quarterly Review—Golden Text, Ps. xxi, 1. Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. LESSON I. Absalom's failure, II Samxviii, 1-15. Golden Text, Eph. vi, 1. "Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right." Absalom failed in respect for his father or his father's God, and he failed to accomplish what he had his heart set upon for himself. The victory was David's, and he was restored to his throne. See Ps. xxiii, 10, 11, concerning the counsel of the Lord and that of His enemies. Lesson II.—Solomon anointed king, I Kings 1, 2S-40. Golden Text, I Chron. xxvill, 9, "Know thou the God of thy father and serve Him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind." It was the purpose of the Lord that of all the sons of David Solomon should be his successor, and so it came to pass, for "every purpose of the Lord shall be performed" (Jer. Jl. 20). LESSON III.—Solomon chooses wisdom, I Kings iii, 4-15. Golden Text, Prox. ix, 10. "The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom." Solomon began well, loving the Lord, and walking in the statutes of David, his father, and the Lord said to him, "Ask what I shall give thee." Solomon's request pleased the Lord, and He gave him wisdom and also riches and honor. It was an exceeding abundantly like Eph. iii. 20. The Lord Jesus is the wisdom and power of God. LESSON IV.—Solonon dedicates the temple, I Kings viii, 22:30. Golden Text, Isa. lvii, 7. "My house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples." The tabernacle and temple were both typical of Christ, the True Tabernacle and Temple, and of the church, which is His body, now being builted. Each believer is also a temple and is expected to be wholly dedicated to God that the world may know Him (John xvii, 21, 23). LESSON V.-The queen of Sheba visits Solomon, I Kings x, 1-13. Golden Text, Prov. vill, 11, "Wisdom is better than rubles." Not only the queen of Sheba, but all the earth, sought to Solomon to hear his wisdom which God had put in his heart, and they all brought gifts of silver, gold, garments, horses, splices, etc., foreshadowing the time when all nations shall bring their wealth to Israel because of the name of the Lord who will then be their King (verses 1, 24, 25; Isa. 1x, 3, 5, 11, 21). . LESSON VII.-The kingdom torn asunder, I Kings xii, 6-10. Golden Text, Prov. xvi, 18. "Pride goeth before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall." Because of Solomon's sin in turning from the Lord to idols, although He had appeared to him twice and kindly warned him, He said that He would take the kingdom from him, but would leave him one tribe for David's sake (xi, 9-13). . LESSON VII.-Jeroboam leads Israel into sin, I Kings xii, 25-33. Golden Text, Ex. xx, 4, 5a. "Thou shalt not bow down thy self unto them nor serve them." Jeroboam turned away from God, who gave him the kingdom, and led all Israel into idolatry, so that there was not one king over the ten tribes who was not an idolater. LESSON VIII.—Asa's good reign, II Chron. xv. 1-15. Golden Text. Jas. iv, 8. "Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you." In contrast to Jeroboam and the sinful kings of Israel there were at least eight of the kings of Judah who served the Lord and sought to do right in His sight. Asa was one of them, and for thirty-five years he was wonderfully blessed, because he relied on the Lord, but during the last five of his forty years he turned away from God in a measure. LESSON IX.—God's care of Elijah, I Kings xvll, 1-10, Golden Text, I Petv, 7. "Casting all your anxiety upon Him, because He careth for you." A man of God, jealous for the honor of Jehovah is able to cause no rain for over three years and then to bring rain, yet he was a man like others. He was supernaturally cared for during those years and safely hidden, so that he could not be found. LESSON X.—Elijah and the prophets of Baal, I Kings xvll, 30-39. Golden Text, Prov. xr, 29. "Jehovah is far from the wicked; but He heareth the prayer of the righteous." A great test and a glorious vindication of Jehovah. From morning till evening the wicked cry to their god without a reply; Elijah prayed one brief prayer and the fire came that could burn up even stones. Lesson XI.—Elijah's flight and return, I Kings xix, S-1S. Golden Text, Ps. xlvi, 10, "Be still and know that I am God." The same Elijah as in the last lesson, but a wicked woman has come between him and 'God' and he is seeing and hearing her and therefore afraid and fleeing for his life. When we see self or people or circumstances we are sure to fail. Our only safety is in seeing Jesus only. When we think we are necessary then God will do without us. Lesson XII.—Defeat through drunkenness, I Kings xx, 10-21. Golden Text. Hosea iv, 11, "Wine and new wine take away the understanding." Thirty-three drunken kings was surely a beastly sight, and it was grand to see them and their hosts overcome by one king, a weak and sinful man, but God helped him for His great name's sake and for Israel's sake to make His name known. In systematic saving lies the secret of a successful housekeeper. Not stinting or denying, but practical, regular saving. Five or 10 cents put carefully away regularly soon means $3 or $4 with which to buy some household necessity, perhaps luxury, and money saved in this way is never missed. Money saving is a habit, once formed hard to break, and means comfort and contentment to the housekeeper who will acquire it.—San Francisco Chronicle.

Zion Church, the race's real instructive state-man", has been in the city during the past week. Accompanied by Mr. A. E. Manning, of Indiana, editor of the virile Indianapolis grid, the eminent prelate paid his reacts to the White House, saw inimental senators and members of the house in their offices near the capitol, made a round of the executive departments and put in some telling blows where for deserving members of the race, regardless of party affiliations. While personally identified with the democratic organization, and loyal to interest at all times, Bishop Walsh is bigger and broader than party undaries and is for the black man's lift, be he republican, democrat, socialist, bull-moose, populist or whatnot. It is not much concerned for what an calls bim-elf as that the man is next, upright and capable—a real n in every sense of the word. His id is ever ready to help those of people who show themselves worthy support. Bishop Walters is a man of the sex. There is no mystery about goings or comings. He lives out the street. Everybody who has a rd to say worth while can see him almost any hour, day or night. He is no "clique" or "clan" and "plays favorites." An individual is rated him on his intrinsic merits and one person weighs more than another only he demonstrates his superior value his service to humanity. The governing principle of Bishop Walters' make-up is his unfallering optimism. He has faith in the future of the Negro—he believes in the ultimate triumph of the cause to which he has devoted his life. Just as men offer in religious crosses in educational items, business methods and means reaching desired ends, he holds that will and should differ in political views, if they are a thinking and responsible element in the national men. If the yare not permitted to take other classes, there must be reason. If the reason does not agree with the American principle personal and political liberty, then it the duty of somebody to take steps remove that deterrent cause. With urgence evinced by few of his generation and with leonine strength divinely stowed, Bishop Walters has brought the task of establishing social just through the intelligent division of Negro vote and the support of the ends of the race, irrespective of parishes, a power not equalled by any temporary in the realm of nationalities. Considering politics as a race, Bishop Walters has attached race problem to the democratic merit with a skill of a trained diplat, and he has succeeded in making recognition of the Negro not apply a party question, but a count-wide American issue, in which must play a star part. mer Recorder Dancy gets a $200 Silver Service. former Recorder of Deeds, John G. Keyy, now secretary of the Church mission Board of the A. M. E. Zion Church, is the happiest man in town. Spacious home at 2129 L. street, lowest, is adorned with a solid sil-service, valued at over $200, and design one of the marvels of the art. The beautiful creation silver was the gift of admirers in Zion churches of the country in reposition of Mr. Daney's twenty-two years of service as editor of the two long church periodicals, the Starion and the Quarterly Review. Informal presentation of the token one of the notable features of the session of the Connectional Unit of the A. M. E. Zion Church, housed of the bishops, general officers and representatives of the mission societies, held in St. Louis, presentation addresses were made by L. W. Kyle, who inaugurated timinal, and Bishop G. L. Black, who presides over that episcopal act, both of whom made highly critic remarks. Editor Daney accords the gift in well chosen words, being the occasion, expressing his grade for such substantial tokenown. The presentation was made today afternoon in the presence of bishop and general officers and any large congregation. Many classes, conferences and friends from all of the country contributed their purchase to the highly appreciated testimonial. The Daney home this city has been the center of action since his return from St. Leonards of interest-ting friends can inspect the gift. Mr. Daney have much for Zion, for journal-matter and the entire race, and this general recognition is not only a timely acknowledgment of his valuable ser vices, but a mark of appro- lie spirit as a ruling virtu- kind, which will encourage man of the race to do his for the day and generation he lives.

The News in a Nut Shell The Misses Valeria and Vermelie Turner made d-tinct social hits during their recent visits to New York City, where they were highly entertained by the elite. They graduated last June from the Washington High school. Mr. Harry Parker attached to the Ways and Means committee of the House of Representatives, has purchased a beautiful home in the 1300 block of Riggs Place. A. N. Scurlock, the photographic artist de laux, has made several poses of Misses Lucile Thompson and Arnetta Costin, who were selected by the National Benefit Association as the subjects to be shown on its illuminated calendars for the year 1916.

Capt Leon H. Jordan, a politician and business magnate of Kansas City, Mo., spent a few days here last week, and was shown the sights by Editor J. Finley Wilson, of the Eagle. Capt Jordan was the dinner and luncheon and thereafter guest of a number of Washington's leading professional and commercial forces, and renewed acquaintance with a host of old friends. Capt. Jordan is no stranger here, having served long and capable a member of the official staff of the Recorder of Deeds in the days of the late C. H. J. Taylor. He says Kansas City will give the National Medical Association a grand reception next year and is confident that the "City on Seven Hills" will also have the pleasure of entertaining the 17th annual session of the National Negro Business League, for which elaborate preparations are already under way. Rev. J. R. L. Digg, Well-known in many cities of the country where he has served, is now pastor of the First Baptist Church of Georgetown, West Washington, succeeding Rev. E. E. Ricks, who has accepted a call to the principal baptist church at Roanoke, Va. Miss Capitola Frye, formerly of Louisville, Ky., who came here recently to accept a government position, has been elected secretary of the E. Azalia Hacley Musical Association. Attorney Thomas L. Jones, accompanied by his wife, is in Toronto, Canada, on a health seeking mission. Mr. Jones, conceded to be the leading criminal lawyer in this section of the country, has been ill for several months with a complication of ailments, due largely to overwork, and has been added to remain in the north for several weeks for rest and recuperation. Mr. Jones is very popular in Toronto and delivered some notable addresses here. He is being strongly urged to main with our British cousins infinitely. Hss Marie C, James, Washington's olife mezzo-contraito, put several kids this summer in a school of music Philadelphia, perfecting herself in many phases of musical practice, and reported by the authorities to have an remarkable grasp of the new Dr. Summer Wormley was called to Newark, N. J., last week by the death of his brother. Mrs. Daiy W. Henson, district deputy of the Daughter Elks of Washington, has been spending the past two weeks in Atlantic City, and will visit friends in Philadelphia, Long Branch, Jersey City and New York, before returning for her fall social season. She is planning a series of high-class entertainments to be given at an early date by the Elks Magnolia Club, of which she is president. Miss Gladys C. Fearing, of this city, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Warren G. Fearing, a graduate of the Teachers College. Howard University, class of 15, has been appointed a teacher of music at the Bordentown (N. J.) Manual Training and Industrial school. Miss Clarice Jones, daughter of Lawyer and Mrs. Thomas L.

C., where she has achieved a gratifying success during the past two years. Miss Jones is an honor graduate of the Conservatory of Music, Cornell University, Ithaca. N. Y.

Mr. and Mrs. James H. H. Howard have been attending the half-century emancipation exposition at Chicago. Mr. Howard is from Harrisburg, Pa., and is serving very satisfactorily as deputy United States Marshal here. He is also an attache of the Pennysvania Post, of Harrisburg, and has a long and enviable record as a gilt-edged newspaper man. Mr. and Mrs. Howard are flomicled with Mrs. J. W.

Byars, house manager of the Howard Theatre, who knows every foot of the inhabited lands of the "Lone Star State." Mr. Byars halls from "The Alamo" and has helped to make San Antonio famous. A real live Negro Judge will be a novelty that all Texas will appreciate, and Judge Terrell and Mr. Byars will doubtless have the time of their lives. Notwithstanding the coat of "white-wash" applied to Giles B. Jackson's administration of the fiscal affairs of the Richmond emancipation exposition by an alleged "committee" the people of the country are far from being satisfied. The committee was composed of John H. Braxton, William Miller and Theodore W. Jones. The means these confiding gentlemen had of knowing what went with the $55,000 does not appear in the record. The assets valued at $16,000, turned over to the association, are not itemized with a defliniteness that carries conviction. The country would like to see the books opened by an authority that will be conclusive. If this incident is closed, it will be a cold day when another appropriation of like character is permitted to pass Congress. The condition of Assistant Superintendent Roscoe Conkling Bruce is unchanged. He will not be able to attend the opening of the public schools on the 20th. Mr. Harry A. Willings, who brought the Washington Concert Orchestra up to a high state of efficiency, has moved to Baltimore. The "jitney bus" is not a glittering success in Washington. The outfit should be made to go. The management is of the opinion that the business cannot thrive if it does not draw the color line. No business is wanted here that cannot exist upon a lawful and humane basis. The Inquisitive Antelope. An antelope is as curious as a woman. If the hunter will lie down in the grass and wave a red handkerchief a band of antelopes will keep circling around until within reasonable distance for a safe shot. After completing a circle the antelopes halt suddenly and bring down one fore foot with a vigorous stamp on the ground, and at the same instant they make a sort of snort that sounds like a half whistle. That is the propitious moment for peppering them with rife balls.—Exchange. Henty's Young Critic. G. A. Henty, the writer for youth, frequently got letters from admirers all over the world asking for his autograph and offering criticisms of his books. In a story of the peninsular war he made two boys disguise themselves by staining their faces with iodine. Shortly after the book was published he received a letter from a boy, who said he was a chemist's $ ^{s} $ assistant, stating that while that special incident was represented as taking place in 1808 iodine was not discovered until 1811, three years later. When You Can't Sleep. There is an odd theory, which many people believe and which is certainly harmless, that sleeplessness may often be cured in the following odd way: Move your bed out into the room so that no part of bed or covers will touch the wall. Then place under each caster of the bed a piece of rubber or a rubber overshoe or set the caster in a thick glass dish. Then go to bed, making sure the covers do not touch the wall. Thus the bed and yourself will be, cut off from all electric contact with floor or wall. Such absence of electric contact, it is claimed, will make you sleep better. It is said to have cured stubborn cases of insomnia. A Perfect Example. The paper speaks of a certain argument as being tactfully yet forcefully phrased," said the young student. "What would be a good example of that?" "My son," returned the father, "can it be you have never lent ear to your mother's able representations on the periodical occasions when I return home on pay day?" By Experience. "Have you learned anything in the way of business during your four years' loaf at college?" demanded the pater. "Sure!" said Reginald. "I can write the dandest line of dunning letters you ever saw." "Humph!" ejaculated the pater. "Who taught you that?" "My creditors," said Reginald.—Life -WIHOLESALE AND RETAIL Fruit and Commission Merchant 303 ST.
