New York, September 22—Our modern bou-ewife, be she bride or matron, does not prepare breakfast in a be-ribboned and her ruffled morning robe, or dinner in a pase afternoon frock. She delights in her trim morning dress with apron throat, short skirt, and sleeves, developed in some fresh material which may be tubbed every Monday morning. Her hair is drawn back daintily and becomingly, and often confined under a cap of the same material as the housedress, to protect the hair from dust or cooking odors. The Material of the Housewress Gingham, chambray and percale are the staple fabrics for these dresses, but someone who desired to simplify matters still further, decided that plain white soiled no quicker than starched gingham or chambray; that soft, white cotton crepe, which washes so easily, requiring no ironing, does not wrinkle, and is fresh looking, was more practical for these dresses than the old time fabrics which require starch and careful laundering. Of course, many an old time house in pure white or patterned in color, a most satisfactory and practical material for the workdress. Popularity of a Smock The gardening fad, which took a strong hold upon the fancy of the city dweller and the suburbanite, this summer, was responsible for the introducewife laughed at the idea and considered the very thought of house work in white rediculous, but many have taken it up and find cotton crepe, whether tion of the smock. It has become decidedly popular with housekeepers and promises to find a permanent place in the wardrobe. These smocks are fash- © McCALL Buttons and Pockets Trim the House Dress loned of dark blue linen, chambrays, duck, and similar materials, often trimmed with smocking in contrasting threads. They are especially practical to slip over an afternoon frock when there is some slight task to be performed which might possibly result in a spot or stain on the gown. The woman who delights in regilding a picture frame, or brightening up a piece of furniture, will also find them convenient, as they are generally made up in a somewhat heavier material than the regulation apron, and therefore, offer more protection. Bunglow or All-Enveloping Aprons These large or all enveloping aprons play no small part in the housekeeper's scheme of things. Crepe is also being used considerably for these aprons, but gingham still holds first place; this is a garment that requires a bit of crispness to make it look fresh. Percale, striped, or patterned in some conventionalized design, os attractive, too, and there are a number of other wash fabrics, thin duck, for instance, that are used. Pockets and Trimmings. Large, roomy pockets are features of both dresses and aprons. They come in very handy for carrying a dust cloth, a short handle duster or whisk broom, a pair of shears, or some other article to be used at various times during the morning; besides being useful, they break the severity of dress, and render it more becoming. Buttons are used to trim these dress- ses, too; but they must washable buttons—bone or crochet. Pearl buttons, which are not removable, are apt to break when the garment is laundried. The large Pearl or bone buttons, however, the shanks of which may be slipped through buttonholed eyelets, secured with a bar, and removed when the frock goes to the tub, are the height of the practical. The skirt, which unbuttons from the belt to hem and may be laid out flat on the froning board, is another happy notion. Another way to brighten the house dress without making it fussy is to pipe the neck edge, armholes, cuffs, down the front and around the pockets, with a contrasting bias tape. This comes in linen or cotton. In many attractive colorings; also in stripes and checks, and make most effective trimming for both dress and aprons, also for children's wash dresses. It may be purchased by the piece, comes folded, ready for use, and being bias, may be applied readily to armholes and neck edges. Detachable Sleeves With never a thought of the washboard or the flat iron, one of our big dressmakers, in the early spring, designed a dainty tennis costume. This costume had a hugh, flaring pocket on one side for tennis balls, and detachable sleeves. That is, the sleeves were arranged to button on to a drop shoulder; they could be removed when playing, and buttoned on again when the game was over. It was a pretty notion, and a highly practical one for the tennis girl; it was still more practical for the house wife and she readily © MCCALL The Middy or Dress Apron adopted it from the frock or serge and satin, with its tight-fitting, smart sleeves, to her frock of chambray and cotton crepe. Now, instead of rolling back, plining, wrinkling, and general-design—the trouser skirt. Blouse moves her sleeves, proceeds with her work, and when the necessity of freedom of action is past, buttons them on again. The wide pocket, too, is made good use of. The Pantalette Skirt. Practical housekeepers are obliged to climb a ladder now and then, to hang pictures, drape a curtain or portiere, or reach a glass of jam on the very tiptop shelf of the cupboard, and then—what a nuisance, a fluffy petitcoat is! Along comes the efficiency expert and design—the trouser skirt. Blouse and trousers, which re-embels a pair of overalls, are joined together; there is an outside skirt worn in the ordinary way, which may be omitted when there is strenuous work to do, and domed when desired. This is, perhaps, one of the most sensible costumes of the year. While it is ideal for the house, it is quite as good for the out-of-door girl who enjoys a mountain climb; excellent for walking, boating, and like sports. The idea may be carried out attractively in the dance frock; the pantalettes being fashioned of filmy fabrics to correspond with the frock. PARIS ISLAND DOTS The Rose of Sharon Household of Ruth No 5118, together with their brothers, Progressive Lodge No 9458, G. U. O. of O. F., celebrated their first anniversary at the First A. B. Church, on the fourth Sunday in August. The ceremony was conducted in a most impressive manner. The program was as follows: prayer, Rev. A. P. Hamilton; scripture reading, by Sister C. A. Gillams; address, by Sister Catherine Smith, R. N. G., historical sketch of the order; remarks by Bro C. H. Heyward, P. N. F; reading of paper by Bro. J. E. Zealy, P. N. F; anniversary sermon by Rev. A. P. Hamilton. MASONIC CENTENNIAL The coming week the Masons of this city and state will celebrate in this city the Centennial anniversary of the organization of the second Grand Lodge of Masons of Colored Men in this country, African Grand Lodge of Massachusetts, which grand lodge was established in the city of Boston in 1808, being the first. In 1884 a similar celebration occurred in this city in commemorate the 100th anniversary of the introduction of Masonry among colored men in this country. On that occasion prominent men assembled in this city to do honor to the occasion from all parts of the country. It is therefore fitting at this time to give a brief sketch as to how colored men entered the order, so much has been stated in these later years that all Masonic lodges of colored men are clandestine and that such lodges have no legitimate existence and are not recognized as such by other Masonic organizations in or out of this country. This statement is untrue as can be seen from the following: In 1775, fifteen colored men were introduced into the mysteries of Masonry in an English Military lodge at that time located near the city of Boston, Mass., the most prominent of this number were Prince Hall, Thomas Sanderson, and Boston Smith. There were others equally as prominent as those above named, more prominence is given to the first named on account of their names appearing in the warrant granted by the Grand Lodge of England under the chartered number 459, this being the number and so registered on the Grand Register of this Grand Lodge as being the first officers of this lodge. It may be here stated that these men had applied for membership in one of the white lodges of Masons located in Boston, on account of their color they were refused. For this reason they were compelled to make application to this military lodge as before stated. One of the objections raised to their admission into the white lodges was that so many of their race being held in bondage prevented them from becoming members, one of the principles of the order being that only freemen could become Masons. Being refused their only source was to make application above named. Some little time after their becoming Masons they again made application for affiliation to one of the city lodges. They being again refused, they then applied to the Grand Lodge of England, the Mother Grand Lodge of all English speaking lodges. Their application was received and a warrant granted them under the charted number 427. This was afterwards changed to 459. This lodge remained on the register of the grand lodge of England for many years after the close of the War of Independence remitting to the grand lodge of England annually its taxation. The warrant granted to this lodge by the grand lodge of England under the name and title Africian Lodge No. 459 is in a good state of preservation, and is now in the care and keeping of the Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Massachusetts. Up to this point the leading Masonic historians of the day agree, such men as Albert Pike, who being a Southerner by birth, and not any too friendly to the colored race, has this to say, when the question was propounded to him: "There are plenty of regular Negro Masons, and Negro lodges in South America and the West Indies. Our folks only stave off the question by saying the Negro Masons are clandestine. Prince Hall Lodge was as regular a lodge as any lodge created by competent authority and had a perfect right (as other lodges in Europe did) to establish other lodges, thereby making itself a Mother Lodge." Closing he names other Masonic Lodges in Europe who became Grand-Lodges in this manner, and the same may be said to have occurred many times in this country in the formation of state grand lodges among white men. This statement of Pike is supported by other Masonic writers as E. T. Carson, Charles A. Woodward, Thomas Duncan, E. T. Griswold, and even by Albert G. Mackey, who admits up to a certain point the legitimacy of Masonry among colored men, but has this to say in his encyclopedia, "While admitting all that we have stated to be true that such a warrant was granted it was irregular from the fact there existed at the time a Grand Lodge of Masons in Massachusetts, to whom these men should have applied. In another place he states that two grand lodges cannot exist in the same state. This is an American dogma having its being alone in this country, founded alone upon prejudice. In the countries of Europe there is to be found more than one grand lodge having co-ordinate jurisdiction, especially is this so in England and Germany. Having settled the question as to the legitimacy of Symbolic Masonry as it exists among colored men, we return to the subject in hand, the Centennial Anniversary of the M. W. Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania. Prince Hall and his companions, as has been stated organized the first lodge of colored Masons in this country, under the name and number of African Lodge No. 459; the second was Miram at Providence, R. I., June 25th, 1797. The third was African Lodge No. 459 at Philadelphia, Pa., September 22nd, 1779. These three formed the first grand lodge of colored Masons in this country under the name of African Grand Lodge in Boston, Mass., in 1808. The second grand lodge of Colored Masons was organized at Philadelphia, Pa., September 23rd 1815. These were the only colored grand lodges in this country, up to this time. Later there was another grand lodge organized in Philadelphia, Pa., under the title of the Miram Grand Lodge in 1837. The warrant of this grand lodge it has since been proved had no legal existence and from this fact has never been considered by Masonic writers. Dissection have arge as to the distribution of offices led to the organization of the African Independent Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania. In order to bring about a spirit of harmony among the members of the craft and to advance and protect the interest of the race it was thought that there should be a central authority to govern all. With this end in view, the representatives from the several grand lodges assembled in Boston, Mass., June 24th, 1847, for the purpose of forming a permanent relation of union through a central body. The result of this meeting was the organizing of the National Grand Lodge otherwise known as the National Compact. The officers elected at this meeting were John T. Hilton of Boston, Mass., Grand Master; James Bird of African Independent Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania, Deputy Grand Master; Samuel Van Brakle, of Hiram Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania, District Grand Master for the middle states; Martin R. Delaney, District Deputy for the western district; George C. Willis, District Deputy for the eastern district; Enoc Hall, Grand Senior Warden; William Ambush, Grand Secretary; Emory Croniken, Grand Junior Warden; James Newman, Grand Treasurer; Jonathan Miller, Grand Tyler. It was claimed by its organizers that this grand lodge was to have supreme jurisdiction over all symbolic Masonic bodies in this country and that the several grand lodges were to be subservient to it. Dissections as to the former case arose and from the same cause, distribution of the several offices that the aspirants of certain individuals being not recognized as they thought they should be. This caused another serious division and another separation and led in later years to what has been known as Seventh St. Masons and Eleventh St. Masons, both bodies being designated by the streets where their halls were located. The first named were known as the as State Right Masons, claiming for themselves that a grand lodge could not be subordinate to another body without losing its identity as a sovereign and independent body that they not nor were their subordinates amenable to be taxed by a foreign body which had no legal existence. The latter, or Eleventh St. Masons, were known as National Compact Masons and held to the principles of the National grand lodge. A bitter and airtimonious feeling arose between these organizations that lasted for many years, so bitter was it, that the members of the same family were at enmity the one against the other, the same relation existed in their church relations. In 1883 another convention of the two grand lodges of this state was convened in this city. All differences between these two grand lodges were adjusted at this meeting, which has resulted in a perfect fraternal union for a period of thirty-one years. It will be noted in this connection that all the differences and dissensions that arose emanated in this city and these dissessions were principally brought about by the ambition of certain individuals for office, being defeated in their aspirations for certain places that they had fixed upon and failing to secure the same advocated the non-recognition of the Masonic body they had assisted in organizing.—Tribune, Philadelphia, Sept., 18 1015.

Harry Lane, of Oregon, the Hon. N. P. Bryan, of Florida, and the leaders of both Houses, to pay their respects and urge that they support the emergency bills providing for the carrying out of the plans above described. Immediate consideration of the proposed measures is to be asked. It is pointed out that these measures have been favorably considered in previous Congresses, and have unanimously passed the Senate twice, and have only been lost through the pressure of other matters at the close of several sessions. Mr. White states that the reports on the subjects at issue show that in making the appropriations suggested, Congress is only giving the people back their own money, without interest, and which, if not thus utilized, will lie idle in the Treasury, doing good to no one. Freedmen's Bank relief, says Mr. White, has been recommended by each of the presidents of the United States since 1886, the endorsements being particularly emphatic by Presidents Cleveland and Taft. All representatives (men and women) who are interested in these measures are cordially invited to join the committee on the second Tuesday after the assembling of the 64th Congress. The committee will meet in the Senate Office building at 10 o'clock and go to the room of the Committee on Claims, Rev. J. Milton Waldren, of 1334 V street, N.W., will introduce the committee and speakers and have charge of the hearing. Those who would like to speak on these subjects should notify Dr. Waldren so the time can be arranged. An aggressive, yet diplomatic, plan of campaign has been mapped out and the managers expect to reap rich results at the hands of the 64th Congress. Dissolution of the Donovan Liberian Trust Demanded. Have the Negroes of the United States lost all desire to migrate to Liberia? Assuring that there is no longer a demand on the part of the American Negroes to find homes in the West African Republic, the heirs of Mrs. Carolina Donovan have on fine in the Circuit Court of Baltimore a petition to have declared null and void a trust created in 1886 by Mrs. Donovan for the purpose of assisting colored people to go to Liberia and to stimulate educational work among the Negroes there. The fund in question has been administered all these years by the American Colonizing Society, which has its headquarters in this city. The record is said to show that the society has expended only about $20,000 of the income from the Donovan fund in 17 years, while the total receipts therefrom have amputated to more than $40,000. The office expenses have been quite heavy, but with all that a surplus has accumulated in the hands of the society that indicates, according to the claims of the Donovan heirs-at-law the decadence of the cause for which the trust was created. Since the Negroes do not wish to go to Liberia, the petitioners ask that the trust be dissolved and that the trust property be distributed among Mrs. Donovan's residuary legates and their descendants. It is understood that the officials of the American Colonizing Society and Rev. Earnest Lyons, of Baltimore, Liberia's consular agent in this country, are resisting the dissolution of the Donovan trust. The matter is now before the courts. The Board of Education and Colored High School Cadets At the first meeting of the Board of Education for the new school term a question arose with reference to the use of the High School Cadets in connection with service as aids to the committee arranging for the local reception of the veterans coming to the national encampment of the G. A. R. Sentiment seem favorable to the graining of the request of the committee for the cadets, but in the course of the debate Dr. C. W. Childs asked if the invitation included cadets of the colored high schools. He regarded their participation in the movement as an important matter, in view of the fact that hundreds of colored veterans would be here, and they would require direction and service such as only colored boys, familiar with local conditions, could render. This apparently harmless query is said to have started a row, and caused the Board, already at odds on the Dr. Lucy E. Moten issue, to again divide into two sharply defined camps. One section insisted with Dr. Childs that the colored boys be given an equal opportunity with the whites in the G. A. R. plans, and the other wished to ignore the question on the ground that the committee had asked only for whites, arguing that no race question was involved at this time. The whole matter was finally referred to Supt. E. L. Thurston for such action as seemed to him wise and expedient in the promises. Mr. Thurston has not yet indicated his attitude on the subject, but, knowing the broad-mindedness of the superintendent on all problems affecting the race, it is believed he will respond in favor of the utilization of the colored cadets upon the request of the colored branch of the G. A. I. committee. The Lee-Terrell committee is said to have received a "tip" that this offered all elements a chance to solve the problem on right lines, and the incident will doubtless close with the issuance of a writ of permission for the colored cadets to assist the colored committee. Public School Opens for New Term The regular opening of the public schools took place on the 20th, with a large attendance. Before the end of the week it is expected that the enrollment in the colored division will approximate 15,000. Assistant Superintendent Roscoe Conkling Bruce, as predicted, is too ill to resume his duties, and it is expected that the Board of Education will name some one to till the place, for the time being at least. Prof. W. S. Montgomery, L. M. Herhaw, Hugh M. Brown, and N. B. Marshall are among those considered for the permanent successor to Mr. Bruce, but wise ones say it is not the intention of the Board to show it hand at this juncture. This is interpreted that Mr. John W. Smith, of the school officers, has a good show as acting assistant superintendent, the final decision to be held in abeyance probably for several months. If additional complications set in—and this is as likely as anything else under the sun—Supt. L. E. Thurston will continue to manage the colored schools in person, along with the white schools, as he has been doing for the past several months. The situation will be "ticklish" until it is determined just what action Congress proposes to take with reference to the local school embroglio. National Federation of Church Choirs Mr. Wellington A. Adams has added another chapter to his National Federation of Choirs and Musicians by the organization last week of the Northeast Chapter of the District of Columbia branch at the Mr. Olive Baptist Church. Miss Henrietta Jones was elected temporary president; Miss Ruth Cox, secretary; Mrs. Annie Smith treasurer; anude James Lee, chaplain, Carl R. Diton, director of music at Wiley University, Marshall, Tex., has accepted the position of national organizer for the federation. The office of the organization is at 1005 V Street, northwest, where Mr. Adams has a well stocked musical emporium. Mme. Anita Patti Brown Coming Mme. Anita Patti Brown Coming Arranzements have been made for the appearance of Mme. Anita Patti Brown, the noted coloratura soprano, at the Howard theatre. Sunday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock. October 31st. This hour has been set at the urgent request of many prospective patrons who have no other opportunity to attend a concert of this high character. Mme. Brown is well known here and is a reigning favorite. She made a distinct impression here last spring when she sang at the Howard theatre for the Alpha Kappa Alpha Society of Howard University, in connection with a meeting addressed by Congressman Martin B. Madden, of Chicago. The fair diva will appear here under the personal direction of Managers A. J. Thomas and R. G. Iyars, of the Howard Theatre. She will be supported by such Washington artists as Miss Cecelie Lott, pianist, of the Howard Conservatory of Music; Dr. C. Sumner Wormley, the noted baritone; Mme. Emma Lee Williams, the gifted dramatic reader, and others. Protectorate for Haiti Favored Well informed colored people here-about agree that the establishment of a provisional protectorate over Haiti is about the best thing that could be done to guarantee a stable government for the Black Republic. The recognition of Haiti's new president and the ratification of the treaty covering a ten-year tenure of American supervision of the customs receipts assure a financial soundness and restoration of law and order throughout the country. The safe guarding of the revenues will stop the political plotters from fomenting strife for individual gain and gang-rule, with one revolution following another in rapid succession. It is generally conceded that the rich island of Haifif holds possessions beyond computation in cold figures, and that to develop its vast resources the people need education and industrial training more than anything else. The schoolmaster, followed by activities in shop and field, should replace the political schemers in every section. It is freely predicted that ten years of steady training in industry and civic righteousness will work a "revolution" in Haifif that will make it the garden spot of the entire West Indies. Charles A. Marshall in Journalism And Education. Mr. Charles A. Marshall one of the most promising young men ever turned out by the District of Columbia schools is making a proud record as an educator, journalist and man of affairs. He has been re-elected principal of the Cheswold public school at Cheswold, Del., where he has been doing an excellent work for the social and intellectual uplift of that section for several years. He spent the summer here with relatives and filled in his vacation by serving as advertising manager of the Washington Eagle and Howard Theater. He is a master of theatrical methods, and has been a most helpful assistant in every way to Managers Thomas and Byars. With the reopening of the school term he is to edit an educational journal. The Messenger, which will at once enjoy a wide circulation in the educational circles of Delaware and adjacent states. Mr. Marshall's progressiveness, affability and unflagging industry have won for him a host of friends among all classes. The country will hear a great deal of Mr. Marshall in the next few years. He has with him all the elements that go to make a real leader of his people. Dr. Roman to Make Announcement Dr. C. V. Roman, of Nashville, Tenn. medical expert, sociologist, journalist, publisher and churchman, advises that he will have two important announcements to make at an early date. The nature of the deliverances cannot now be stated but it is certain that they will be of absorbing interest when made to the medical, literary and church world. Dr. Roman is one of those rare characters who never speak without saying something worth while: The News in a Nut Shell The News in a Nut Shell Those interested in the redemption or the Frederick Douglass Homestead at Anaheim, I. C. are trying to devise means whereby the long standing mortgage can be lifted. The efforts in this direction in the part have been failures—local authorities say these failures are not due to any lack of sympathy with the movement, as such, but that the work of redemption has been placed time after time in the wrong hands. It is hoped some steps will be taken at an early to revive enthusiasm in this very worthy project by bringing it in touch with those of the community who mean business and to whose support the masses will cheerfully rally. Mr. Romeo L. Dougherty, dramatic and sporting editor of the New York News, and Miss Dedemona Barnett, the "vital spark" of the S. H. Dudley Theatrical Enterprises were entertained at dimmed Thursdays afternoon by Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Thompson at their home, 1223 S. street, northwest. Miss Lillie M. Truatt, of 1504 S. street southwest, is at home again, after a month at Harper's Ferry. Miss Truatt, who is a fashionable modiste, is to purchase an auto, for use in her constantly growing business and for personal pleasure. Judge and Mrs. Robert H. Terrell, who have been occupying the apartment at 1825 15th street for the past two years, are to return to housekeeping as soon as a suitable place can be secured. Miss Frances Gantt, of 424 D street, southwest, has opened her school near Bowie, Md. She spent a delightful summer in Middletown and New York City. Miss Velma Green, of 1814 15th street, has been called to Durham, N.C. to take charge of classes in the Whitted high school. Miss Green is one of the best equipped graduates of the Myrtilla Miner Normal school. Negotiations are under way looking to the appearance here of the noted Kentucky songbird, Mrs. Lizzie Hicks-Drans, of Louisville, to give a grand concert for the benefit of John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church. The entertainment will be under the direction of Mr. S. M. Dudley. The colored school at Fairmont Heights, Md., just across the District line, has grown from one room with seven pupils and one teacher to a four-room, building, with an industrial department, five teachers and 154 pupils. The engenetic principal is Miss N. J. Wilkes, of 2227 12th street, north-west. The fifty-third anniversary of the issuance of the emancipation proclamation was fittingly observed Wednesday evening, September 22, at the Mr. Carmel Baptist Church, 3rd and 1st streets, under the auspices of the National Emancipation Commemorative Society, of which Prof. Jesse Lawson is president. The principal address was delivered by Hon. Louis F. Post, assistant secretary of labor. Commissioner Louis Brownlow; Prof. J. R. Hawkins, financial secretary of the A. M. E. Church; Rev. W. H. Jernagin. Judge Robert H. Terrell and Rev. J. Harvey Randolph were among those participating in the exercises. Nevertheless and notwithstanding, the people who have studied the ins and outs of that Richmond exposition, are still asking the question "What did he do with that $55,000?" Nothing short of an itemized statement to Congress will satisfy their minds. When one purports to act for the Negro race, the race is within its rights in insisting upon a proper accounting. Col. Giles D. Jackson has the floor! Dr. A. M. Curtis and family have returned from Chicago, where they attended the sessions of the National Medical Association. They motored there and back in the Curtis high powered touring car and made both journeys without getting lost or meeting with an accident. The Washington delegates to the National Baptist Convention at Chicago have returned. Among those participating actively and effectively in the proceedings were Rev. W. H. Jernagin, pastor of Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, and Miss Narnife H. Burroughs, principal of the National Training school for women and girls, Lincoln Heights. They told of their experiences at the convention as features of the "Echo" meeting last Sunday evening at Mt. Carmel Baptist Church. Miss M. Holen Adams sang. Mrs. L. R. Clarke, principal of the Clarke training school, is back from an extended trip East, and will open her school in a few days. Mrs. Clarke is doing a wonderful work in training young women for the standard trades and enlightened service and is being generously supported by the best white families of the District. As an annual outing the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People held an emancipation celebration and pilgrimage to Cedar Hill (homestead of Frederick Donglass) last Saturday. The affair was under the immediate direction of Mir A. H. Grimke, president of the Association, and Mrs. Carrie W. Clifford, chairman of the general committee. Thomas H. R. Clarke, former Judge-Advocate of the Spanish-American Volunteer Army, was orator of the day and eulogized the life and services of Frederick Donglass. The attendance was not large. Mr. F. P. Gonzalez, of San Juan, Puerto Rico, under the patronage of Mr. F. S. M. Maxwell, has opened a school at 1400 S. street, northwest, for instructions in the Spanish language. Quite a number of colored people, who see the advantage of knowing the language that is to figure large in the commerce of the future between this country and the countries of South America and the West Indies, are entering the classes and making a desperate attempt to master the tongue of the Castilian kings. Mr. F. D. McCracken, formerly here as private secretary to Congressman Froderick C. Stevens, is making good in the insurance business at his home in St. Paul, Minn. It is confidently expected that Mr. Stevens will come back after the election of 1916, and that Mr. McCracken will come back with him. Mr. McCracken was the leader of the "Third House", as far as legal-lation affecting the Negro was concerned, during his sixteen years in Washington, and through his watchful efforts, many measures detrimental to the race were kept off the nation's statue books. Local Baptists are well pleased with Savannah, Ga., as the seat of the 1940 session of the National Baptist Convention. Dollars and Age "And how does this hat look on man?

The convention opened in the First Regiment Armory Wednesday morning, September 10th, with a large attendance. By common consent the opening proceeded without rupture or discord until the program was submitted for approval. "Bless be the Tie", wasting after the meeting had been called to order by Rev. D. C. Morris, D. D. preident. Rev. of M. Coleman of Msouri and Rev. A. D. Williams of Gorgia conducted devotion services, is soon as the program was submitted, the pent up energy exploded and the storm began. The session adjourned without final actions. Afternoon Session During the recess those who opposed the adoption of the program met and attempted to perfect an organization, so when President Morris rapped for order at 2:30 o'clock there was another claimant for the honor. There was no prospect of rendering a mutual understanding and the convention adjourned until 9:30 o'clock Thursday morning. Second Day, Morning Session The convention met Thursday morning at 10 o'clock. Rev. W. A. Brown of Pennsylvania and Rev. G. H. Lawson conducted devotional services. A. Moye introduced President Morris to read his annual address, and he had hardly begun its delivery when a writ was served upon him at the instance of E. P. Jones, R. H. Boyd and others restraining him from performing his duties as president of the National Baptist Convention. This suspended the business of the convention temporarily but the meeting was continued until the judge had reviewed the matter and dissolved the judgment which was a recognition of the legality of the convention as provided over by Dr. E. C. Morris. When the announcement was brought to the convention it was received with cheers and demonstrations of joy. The annual address begun this morning by President Morris was completed. The partial report of the enrollment Committee showing 645 delegates enrolled and that of the Finance Committee showing $1,290 collected were read and approved.

T. Walker of Georgia. When Dr. Washington arose the Chicago-Tuskegee Club gave him the Tukegee yell which so pleased the audience that it had to be repeated.

Memory Verses, 17-19—Golden Text, Num. xxxii, 23—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. Ahab and Naboth side by side on earth, the rich and the poor, meet together, but there is a hereafter, as described in Luke xvi, and the rich here are sometimes awfully poor, and worse than poor, when they leave this world. It is certainly a pitiful phase of sinful human nature when such as Ahab desire also a poor man's all and act like a spoiled child when they cannot get it. He was heavy and displeased when reproved by the Lord for compromising with Ben-hadad, and now he is the same because he cannot have Naboth's vineyard, and he went to bed, turned away his face and would not eat (xx, 43; xxi, 1-4). Many a man in Naboth's place would have been afraid to displease such a one as Ahab, but Naboth feared the Lord and evidently remembered that the land was His and was not to pass from tribe to tribe (Lev. xxv, 23; Num. xxxvi, 7), and he would rather displease Ahab at any cost than displease the Lord. Such whole hearted people for God are greatly needed—those who will never bow to any, however mighty, if thus they can glorify God. The fear of man always bringeth an snaRE. We must live in the fear of the Lord always. Jezebel, on learning what alled her husband, urged him to remember that he was the king, that he should arise and eat and be merry and she would give him Naboth's vineyard (verses 5-7). The people who give what does not belong to them, no matter who suffers by it, are still to be found on earth—unscrupulous, proud, selfish, the earth is mine; what right have you on it? There are also plenty to do their bidding, no matter what it is, whether to oppress and ruin a man or his family or business or even to take a man's life, as did these vassals of Jezebel (verses 8-14). Some one has said that if the servants of Christ were as ready to serve Him as the servants of the devil are to serve him many things would be different all around. It seems to us strange that the Lord should permit the devil to afflict and kill His people, but He told His disciples that they would be put out of the synagogue and even killed for His sake and that they must not be afraid to be killed (John xvl, 1, 2; Matt. x, 29). In the very next chapter we see a faithful servant of the Lord, Micaiah, the son of Imlah, put in prison and fed on bread and water because he spoke the Lord's message and feared no man's frown and sought no man's favor (xil, 8, 14, 27, 28). The time will come, after the church is taken away, when the saints then on earth, converts after the rapture, the redeemed of Rev. vil, the great tribulation saints, shall suffer terribly at the hands of the servants of the devil (Dan. vil, 21, 25; Rev. xil, 5-8), but their victory is seen in Rev. xv, while the torment of those who prefer life and the favor of man is seen in Rev. xiv, 9-11. Word was brought by the murderers to the murderess that Naboth was dead, stoned to death, like Stephen and Saul, long afterward, but they did not know the God of Naboth, who ever liveth and cares for His own, though He often allows that which looks like evil to come to them. It stands forever true that all things work together for good to them that love God (Rom. vill, 28). Ahab went to take possession of Naboth's vineyard, but an awful message came to him from the Lord by the mouth of Elijah concerning both himself and his wife. "Thus saith the Lord, In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick thy blood, even thine," and "The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel" (verses 19, 23). See the fulfillment of both of these predictions in xxii, 38, and II Kings 1x, 10, 20, 30-37. There is a reaping for all sowing both here and hereafter, for "whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap," and "they that have sown the wind shall reap the whirlwind" (Gal. vi, 7; 8. Hos. vill, 7). Ahab called Elijah his enemy (verse 20), but it was Ahab who was the enemy of Elijah and of the Lord, for he had sold himself to the devil to work evil in the sight of the Lord, being stirred up to do so by his wicked wife, Jezebel (verses 20, 25). He said to Elijah, "Hast thou found me?" And Elijah said, "I have found thee" (verse 20). This reminds us of the words in Num. xxxil. 23, "Be sure your sin will find you out," and also of Matt. x, 26. "There is nothing covered that shall not be revealed, and hid that shall not be known." Oh, the revealings of that day, when there may be many works of even Christians burned up because of self (I Cor. ill. 11-15). It looks as if Ahab might have been a different man but for his wicked wife. And oh, how gracious the Lord was to him! He knew him thoroughly, and yet when He saw some apparent repentance, humility and fasting He held off the evil during his days (verses 27-20). The alliance of Jehosaphat (who was one of the eight good kings of Judah) with Ahab, as recorded in chapter xxil, is one of the strange combinations of the godly and ungodly which prove so disastrous always. Why not determine to lay to heart II Cor. vi. 14-18, and live accordingly, for wholehearted separation unto the Lord is the only way. Is the Home of Sweets.

PHONE 2932 ARMSTRONG GETS DECISION ANDREW JOHNSON ON.FOUL Monday night, Bob Armstrong, who for the past dozen years has Deen more widely known for his connec: tion as trainer of the top notch heavy weights than as a fighter, received the decision over Kid (Andrew) Johnson of New York who was disqualified in the seventh round for hitting in the clinches. Johnson had been repeated: ly warned against this in the fifth and sixth rounds and when after about 2 minute's fighting in the?serenth he repeated the foul, the fight was ‘hward- ed to Armstron;. * Of the two fighters, Armstrong zave every eyidence of being far the more sclentitic and his general knowledge of the tight game enabled him to stuve off many vicious blows which his ad- versary directed to his face. His most effective blow was a short right- hand jab to the head which Johnson found dificult to ward off. His blows, however, lacked steam and his epdur- ance was manifestly Hmited. Johnson, who evidently carried about fifteen pounds'of excess flesh, lacked the move- ment of,a finished tighter and many of his Medge-hammer like blows were poorly directed. The few blows, how- ever, which he connected with Ann- Strong were of terrific force and caused him much ‘easiness. His most telling blow was a left upper eat which on several occasions cauyed his adyersary to rush into, death-like clinch. In the sixth Johnson landed twe of these upper cuts which tently floored Armstrong but he soon re; covered. ra The tight was fast, furious aud, hard and the Dest that has ever been wit- nessow ih this cify. Both men seemed to fight with 2 spirit which showed that they were out for a decision. ‘There were about ten pounds difference in the weight, Johnson pulling 220 and Armstrong 210, the difference be- tng palanced by the latter’s NsiL It wasThe consensus of opiniunsthat even | had the fight gone the 10 rounds Arm-| strong, on account of his better general | knowledge of the fighting zame and his reat ability to block, would ihave| earned the decision, but that iu a fight of long duration Johnson would have pat him out, Johnson who bas only heen in the gume for the past four years, showed the qualities of a first class fighter and with a little more experience he will be ranked with the greatest fighters of the country. The crowd was easily the bigest which ever witnesed a serap in this city and every one was well satisfied with the card which Promoter Jenn- inn presented on this occasion. About one third of the fans present were white. The preliminaries which emsisted of | n battle royal between five kids and three bouts by local boys were very luteresting and had the large crowd's attenticn until the main bout was staged. 7 - The fight by rounds was as follows: ° First round—Armtrong landed Hght right to head. Johnson missed right upper cut but landed left to stomach, Both right jabbed to head. Armstrong places a light tap on Johnson's face. Johnson swung vicious left which Arm- Strong cleverly blocked. Draw. Seeond—Johnson landed right to head and several lefts to body. Arm- strong places heavy left to Johnson's mouth. Johnson comes back with hard jab to nose drawing first blood of fight. This he followed with left to eye which cauced Armstrong to Dlink and rush into a cinch, John; son swings several hard blows at hedd but missed. Armstrong staved right ta bead. Johnson follows with an- other blow to mouth. Johnson's round. Third—Hoth clinched. Johnson lands left twice to head. Armstrong jabbed two straight blows in Johnson's face, the latter then mbsing two fierce upper cuts. Draw. Fourth—Johnson directed two heavy blows to face but missed. He repeat- ed and Armstrong cleverly dueked. Armstrong, sent two stinging left up- per cuts to Jobnson’s face and the lat- ter returned with a hard jab to Arm- strong’s body which forced him to the ropes, Johnson followed, and fn a vicious bluw which Armstrong blocked, .
