We had Miss Arnett Grayson as bride maid, when it should have been Miss Sarah Gauntt. Cards are out announcing the wedding of Miss Lueren Grayson and Mr. William Frazier, Wednesday, Oct., 6th. Both of the contracting parties are very popular here. Mrs. Lucy E. Mitchell and her charming daughter, Miss Jestine, have returned to the city after spending more than two years in Fall River, Mass. and Philadelphia where she has a daughter residing. Mr. John Green, Jr., the son of Ix-Chief Green, is in the city for a few days visiting his old home and shaking hands with his old friends. Mr. Green is located in New York City, in the tailoring business. He speaks very highly of the success of the Negro Business League in New York City. Rev. C. W. Walker, pastor of the F. A. B. Church, leaves this week for Sumpter, S. C., where he takes up his work at the Morris College. We regret very much to see Mr. Walker leave this city where he has made so many friends. Sumpter is to be congratulated in getting such an able pastor as Dr. Walker. A great victory for Mr. Chas E. Danner and Mr. W. F. Marscher in Tuesday's election. Mr. Danner and Mr. Marscher, it will be remembered by some of the Tribune readers, did not go into the primary on September 17th, so on Tuesday of this week, which was the general election, where all citizens voted, the Negro vote went on the side of the administration, of which Mr. Chas, E. Danner is mayor and Mr. W. F. Marscher is councilman. The election passed off very quietly with the following results: Mr. C. E. Danner 144 against Mr. Lagare 75; Mr. W. F. Marscher 144 against Mr. Dodd 77. In the primary both Mr. Lagare for mayor and Mr. Dodd, for consilium each received 95 votes. The administration ticket won like a charm. Much had been said about the Negro selling his vote, but Tuesday's election demonstrated the fact that the Negro will vote on general principle as much as any other people if given a chance. Too much credit cannot be given' Hon J. I. Washington, Dr. N. J. Kennedy, Rev. D. W. Bythewood, Capt B. H. Houston, Mr M. B. Flemming, Major George. A. Reed and Mr. P. S.

SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY OCTOBER 2ND, 1915 2800 NEGRO CHILDREN ENROLLED IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF THE CITY EVERY ROOM IN THE FOUR COLORED SCHOOLS PACKED TO ITS UTMOST CAPACITY Southern Motion Picture Company Greatly Encouraged by Venture. 4,000 Present First two Nights. Birmingham, Ala., Sept. 20.—Moving plays showing the Negro race as intelligent, refined characters have come to stay. This was demonstrated here last week when the photo-play, "When True Love Wins," was presented to packed houses at the Champion Theater. The audience was appreciative and showed most emphatically that the Negro by reason of his advancement will in the future demand high class pictures in which the intellectual and more progressive side of the race participate and will not tolerate the plays of this kind which are so common now-a-day, in which the race is ridiculed. "When True Love Wins" was written by Mr. Isaac Fisher, the celebrated Tuskegee Institute essayist, and he has so skilfully constructed his story that only the highest human characteristics and impulses are portrayed. He has woven his plot around the love affair of Thelma Drayton. Possessing those maidenly charms which compel the admiration of the young people in her circle. Thelma Drayton finds herself surrounded with many suitors, three of whom are very desirable young men. As the action of the play progresses, Thelma frequently finds herself unable to make a definite choice in her own mind between these three young men, as each one in turn reveals some hidden strength of character which appeals to her. In the climax there is a strong scene in which the hero has to choose between the opportunity to win Thelma and to do this, duty to his country. To the surprise of Thelma he states positively that to him, love of country preceds love of sweetheart, and he prepares to take up arms to defend his country. The very thought of parting with him paints her very keenly and she finally decides that after all she loves the hero. Of course there is a happy ending and a good moral. Not only has the author supplied thrill, action and excitement, but the producers were careful to select the best local talent in Birmingham, and many of the scenes are staged in some of the homes and business enterprises of the best colored people of the city. One cannot witness this play without experiencing a feeling of deeper respect for his race and you find yourself wondering why this type of play has not been put on before. When interviewed at his office in the Lyric Theatre building, Mr. D. B. Griswold, manager of the Southern Motion Picture Company said: "I was very proud of the reception accorded our play, but it only verifies our belief in the race pride of the colored people. I have long since been convinced that the better class of the colored people would, soon get tired of always seeing their race shown on the screen either in a scrap or in a scrap game and it was for this reason that we asked Mr. Flsher to write this play in which the better side of the race could be presented. You can say for me that we are going to put this play on in some nine hundred or more houses catering to colored people and if the colored people decide that they prefer these high class plays to the common stuff now shown, we shall be pleased to present them—and they will be good ones too. So far the experiment has proven very satisfactory to us." ANOTHER NEGRO LAWYER The four local Negro lawyers were increased by one during the week. The new brallrster is Mr. Geo. W. Hall who passed the bar in Richmond, Ind. Lawyer Hall is well known here, where he resided some time before going to Indiana. Lawyer Hall has opened an office over the Savannah Pharmacy. STEVENS—SINGLETON Mrs. Rosa E. Stevens and Mr. Albert Singleton were quietly married on last Wednesday evening at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. Elliza Johnson, 34 Dooley Avenue. Rev. Daniel Wright officiated. The couple is at home at 606 Bolton street west. Hundreds Not Admitted Some of Lower Grades Have As Many As Three Children in One Seat Rush For Admission Cards Thursday. Bright and early yerterday morning the streets of the city were enlivened by the merry, clatter of thousands of children as they passed to and fro on their way to school to greet their teachers for the first time this fall in the the joyful grind which will continue with but a few silight, intermissions during holidays until the good old days of summer time roll round again. The attendance yesterday at the four colored public schools toteled 2.806 and every grade was packed to its utmost capacity especially the lower grades where, in several rooms, seats which should give accommodation to two children were occupied by three. The utter lack of adequate accommodation for colored children was never more plainly shown than Thursday morning during the hours of issuance of admissions cards at the schools when hundreds of parents beigeed the entrances to the various schools only to be told that there was no more room. Scores of parents who had cherl-shed all the summer the hope of entering their children in the schools for the first time were confronted with the sad disappointment of finding no available seats for the little ones and as they stood in groups around the school buildings they presented a pittable sight. The enrollment in the schools this year is approximately the same as the opening day last year, the 2,806 pupils being distributed among the four schools as follows: West Broad Street School.....836 East Broad Street School.....760 Cuyler Street School.....688 Maple Street school.....512 PROF. R. L. COOPER. Prof. R. L. Cooper a member of the faculty of State Industrial College, Savannah, Ga., has been spending quite a little of his vacation in Atlanta visiting old friends who were delighted to see him back in the city, where he lived for more than twenty years. Mr. Cooper is one of the most proficient tailors of the state. He graduated from several of the best tailoring schools in New York City and easily takes his rank among the best. As professor, he has brought his department at the State Industrial College up to the very highest standard and the young men, who graduate from his department, are making their marks in life. They are regarded among the very best tailors. Prof. Cooper takes a great pride and interest in his work and with the boys who come under his instruction. They love him and he loves them. He is regarded as one of the ablest and most useful members, of the faculty of that institution and is respected and esteemed by both trustees and faculty. No one is better known and more highly regarded in the city of Atlanta than Professor Cooper. He has a host of friends here as well as throughout the state, and he is doing a great work for the young men of his race. He has set them a noble example for right living and efficient service.—Atlanta Independent.

Interesting Happenings of the Nation's Capital By R. W. Thompson Washington, D. C., Sept. 28.—The grand encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic is in full blast. The town is decorated from Howard, University to the Potomac with the national colors, evergreen and the portraits of Lincoln, Grant, Sherman, Sheridan and the gallant heroes who fought on many battle fields that this country might be indeed and in truth "the land of the free and the home of the brave". The streets are crowded with people from everywhere and the remnant of the vallant band that struggled at Fort Wagner, Manassas, Vicksburg and in the Wilderness is the welcome guest and the cynosure of all eyes Cheers greet the boys in blue at every turn. Gally uniformed bands are playing martial music and the week is a gala occasion for all classes, conditions and color of munkind. The colored veteran is here and is receiving his share of attention at the hands of the citizens of Washington. The colored reception committee headed by F. D./Lee, Judge Robert Terrell and others is doing its full duty. The formal reception at Convention Hall is the big feature of the week. There will be welcome addresses, music by the Amphion Glee Club and an orchestra will aid the throng to "trip the light fantastic" at its will. Sightseeing cars will take the veterans to all the points of historic interest and the homes of our 100,000 population will be open to the erstwhile comrade in arms. The churches have chimed in, holding patriotic services last Sunday. The lodges are on the qulive and the fraternity signals are being extended with a vlm not often seen. The District National Guards, the High School Cadets, the Boy Scouts and the local veterans are all scheduled to be in the great parade tomorrow. The week is a grand one from every point of view. A "Get-Together" Movement for Christ A "get-together" meeting of representatives of the fifty-eight colored Baptist churches and their pastors in the District of Columbia was held last Sunday at Shiloh Baptist Church to arrange for the holding of a District-wide evangelistic campaign the last week in October and the first week in November. The Southern Baptist Convention (white) and the pastors of the white Baptist churches in Washington will co-operate in this movement and bring to the city four or five colored evangelists of national reputation and several white Baptist pastors of the South. The day and night meetings will be held simultaneously in every section of the city. The Shiloh church assembly was addressed by Rev. Richard Carroll, of Columbia, S. C., and Rev. C. Leroy Butler, who will be in charge of the details of the work. Howard University opened on the 22nd with a slightly reduced attendance. The enrollment will be largely increased by 1st of October, however, by students that were unable to get here for the opening day. Mme. Anita Patti Brown, supported by Dr. C. Sumner Wormley, Miss Celestine Lott and others, is booked for a grand concert at the Howard on the 31st of October. It will be a society event. Miss Henerletta Vinton Davis, the gifted elocutionist, gave a well attended recital Friday evening at the Church of Our Redeemer, of which Rev. D. E. Wiseman is pastor. Miss Davis has been touring New Jersey in the interest of the. Order of Malacgites and giving readings in connection with her lectures. The picturesque people of the Panama Canal Zone have been talked of interestingly by Miss Davis and she is also telling some vital truths about the relations of women to the suffrage. This week she is filling engagements at Allen Chapel and other churches in Baltimore. Miss Louise Cook surprised her Washington friends by appearing unannounced at the Howard Theatre last week. She is a singer of excellent quality and injects into her songs a dramatic fire that never fails to stir the most phlegmatic audience. Her budget of songs was well selected and were admirably adapted to her cultured mezzo-soprano voice. "Everybody Rag with Me" was her opener Continued on the last page NUMBER 2 The People's Insurance Company The People's Insurance Company OPENED BRANCH IN THIS CITY LAST WEEK J. S. Causey Made Local Manager Office in Wage Earners Bank During last week, The People's Health and Life Insurance Company of Macon, Ga., entered the local industrial insurance field.

Last Sunday's meeting was delightfully pleasant and profitable to the audience of men present. The principal address was delivered by Rev. N. M. Clarke, pastor of Beth Eden Baptist Church. The address which was a typical young mens association one, was pronounced by those present as one of the strongest appeals for true, and noble manhood yet delivered at the "Y". The singing of the Y. M. C. A. quartette, composed of Messrs Clark, Humbert, Davis and Taylor, was also a feature of the meeting. On next Tuesday night, Oct. 5th, there will be a meeting at the Y. M. C.

The Importance of the Top Coat For Dress it is Developed in Velours de Laine and Velvet, For Sports in Leather, Tweed and Novelty Fabrics. FUR A FAVORED TRIMMING New York, Sept. 29—Early in the season when Paris placed her stamp of approval on the frock of taffeta, and then a little latter adopted the one-piece frock of serge and gahardline, on princess and semi-Princess lines, for almost every occasion, a demand was straightway created for the separate coat. Designers are now giving much of their attention to this important garment. A Season of Separate Coats It is essentially a season of separate coats. At any public gathering the predominance of the one-piece dress with its accompanying coat is very noticeable. Princess and semi-Princess frocks of serge or gabardine, braid trimmed, and rather severe, are preferred for morning; to wear with these frocks Paris has given us an all-enveloping coat, also of serge or gabardine, called the coat dress. Then there are many other models on the Redingote © MCCALL A Great-Coat in Raglan Style order, with reverse extending from collar to hem; one or two designs showing the Louis XVth influence, and the 1870 period, with slender, fitted backs and waists, and full circular, flaring basins. Frocks of taffeta and faille are accompanied by harmonizing coats of velours de laine, velvet, or plush, cut Redingote fashion, or on short, tight-fitting lines. Velvet is one of the smartest coat materials of the season. On the avenue, and in the tea room every afternoon, one may see any number of smart little frocks of taffeta or faille, with short full skirts and monizing small coats, or braces velvet or plush. Some of velvet be ae pointed lower forming pannier like draperies hips. There is no material rich more becoming than velvet. The Russian Influence In the more dressy coats, one notices a decided leaning toward the Russian. There is something smart and youthful about the double breasted, high collared Russian coat, with its trimming of fur which makes it appeal to many. These models are made in various lengths, according to the purpose for which they are intended. One of the smartest coats of the season was developed in Petrograd green velours de laine, on Russian lines, collared, cuffed, and banded around the lower edge with beaver. Large crocheted buttons of antique gold cord closed the coat and finished the wide girdle of green velours. A smart little turban of the beaver completed a most attractive ensemble. The Collar Makes the Coat It appears as if all the designers' ingenuity has been centered on the collar of the coat. There are wide cape collars, Chin-Chin collars, Quaker collars wide crush collars, "A" collars, collars dating from the time of Inroyable, high Directoire collars, and many others. Often these are of fun, one of the short haired pelts, perforably, beaver, nutria, seal or krimmer; and then again they are of the material of the coat, elaborately trimmed with braid embroidery, or a smartly worked out design in Angora wool. This latter is a very new and effective touch brought out at the early Paris' openings. Cuffs, too, come in for their share of attention. Some flare, some are made gauntlet fashion, some are cut to fit the forearm singly from elbow to wrist, where they flare slightly, and others are merely straight bands of the same or contrasting material. Sleeves on both coats and frocks are varied most attractively, the models being taken from a number of different clothes periods. Coats for Sports Paquin introduced at her recent showing, a coat of suede; at a tennis match some weeks ago, a duplicate of this same coat was worn, with matching pants, hat band, and girdle of the suede. It is an unusual fad, but one that is practical for motoring and all out-of-doors amusements. Stripes, checks, and rather vivid paids are popular for the sports coat as well as the various attractive tweed mixtures. One smart motor coat of plaid, in a subdued tone of gray, noted at the tennis games, was trimmed with emerald green suede, collar, wide belt, and cuffs. The effect was unusual and extremely effective. Leather is a trimming detail of many coats this fall. The huge motorcoat of warmly colored plaids, heavy curly cloth, rough tweed, and various other warm, lightweight fabrics, is often collared, cuffed, and belted in suede or kid, in a plain, contrasting color. Leather buttons, too, are being used, and seam pipings of leather. The Belted Norfolk For the girl who gelfs, walks, and enjoys the great out-of-doors, no coat is more satisfactory than the Norfolk. It lends itself well to almost any material. In tweed, it is smart and sus- McCann taintial looking; in stripes, plaids, and novelty mixtures, it is equally becoming and eff ective; while in plain, hard-finish it is trim and tailored looking model for the business girl. and suited to it model is more woman or girl clothes, as it is to fashion. has have been used wraps for a season or two. The rave ever reached the peri- tion that they have this winter. shiring of coats and wraps at a short time ago, these fur are used exclusively. There were baby-lamb clothes, caracul cloths monkey skin, and any number of others bearing the manufacturer' trade names. These materials are especially well suited to evening wraps, and the more dressy day coats. They are warm, light in weight, richly colored, and generally satis-factory. These fabrics are attractive, too, for trimmings, collars, cuffs, and trimming bands, on coats of other materials. An African brown baby-lamb cloth is especially beautiful for the last mentioned use. ECHOES FORM NATIONAL BUSI NESS LEAGUE IN BOSTON We were royally entertained in Boston by the citizens of both Boston and Cambridge. Our auto-mobile service was furnished by our hosts, and we were given an delightful outing to the historic points, where we enjoyed seeing the monuments, including the one erected in honor of the sainted Christus Attucks, and the other brave Negroes who fell on the battle field, in defence of independence. We were also handsomely entertained by Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Frazier of 52 Pleasant avenue, where an elaborate spread was set, in honor of Miss Florie A. Wilson, who is spending a very pleasant stay in Boston. An invitation was extended to the writer to be present, in company with with Mr. and Mrs. C. O. Williams, 16 Harmond street, who also entertained us royally, during our so-journ In Boston. Coming to New York it gave us very great pleasure to greet our old friends Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Harris, who are old Savannahans. They gave us a royal reception, and spent a great deal of time escorting us around. --- We were delight to meet Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Henderson of 129 West 35th street, New York, who have a lovely home, and who also made it very pleasant for us by entertaining for us in their cozy home. --- We spent several days and nights with Mr and Mrs. O. Y. Harper, of 38 West 136th street, New York, who are old Augustians, and who added much pleasure to our stay while in New York. A peculia pride was it to us in meeting Mrs. Harris and Mrs. Harper, as Mrs. Harris was one of the pioneer clerks of the local Pilgrim Health and life Insurance Co. Mrs. O. Y. Harper was one of the first clerks at the home office of the above named company. It is a feature of interest to see the building erected by the Hotel Belmen's Association at 343 West 35th Street, New York. The building is a large spacious four room structure, in which there is a splendid suite of rooms for the purpose of holding their own meetings, and many other large roomy halls, where lodges and societies of various kinds meet. Through the hospitality of Mr. Alexander Henderson and Mr. J. A. Harris, we chanced to visit a meeting in this building, and to note the wonderful progress made by a set of well organized Negro men. Mr. John Thomas, the president, together with his corps, of officers and co-workers is worthy of the praise for his faithfulness to the bellmen. Upon our arrival in Washington, D. C., we were again highly entertained in the large cozy home of Mr. and Mrs. B. A. Judkins and Mr and Mrs. C. Thomas at 1234 N. W., 4th street We were much elated to meet Mrs. Etta McIntosh Judkins and her sister, Miss Janie O. McIntosh, as we found them very cozily arranged in their home. Since going to Washington, Mrs. Judkins thru the popularity of husband, has made quite a number of friends. Mr. Judkins is employed by the government in the bureau of agriculture, and is very highly esteemed by the entire department, while Mr. Thomas is also employed in the United States printing office. A. B. Singfield Saving In the Home- 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. That Depends. Faddist—Don't you think skipping the rope is a highly dangerous practice? Lawyer—Not always. I'm trying to have it, put in practice for a client of mine now. Baltimore American. The Bridal Wreath. The bridal wreath is usually formed of myrtle branches in Germany. It is made of orange blossoms in France as well as in the United States. In Italy and the French cantons of Switzerland it is of white roses. In Spain the flowers of which it is composed are red roses and pinks. In the islands of Greece vine leaves serve the purpose, and in Bohemia rosemary is employed. In German Switzerland a crown of artificial flowers takes the place of the wreath. On Guard.

It was my first experience of camel riding and therefore interesting if not altogether charming. The saddles used on this journey were formed of large pads, one in front and one behind the hump. The driver climbs into place in front, with a huge peaked pad to keep him from falling off when the camel rises. Then the passenger mounts behind the hump, and the camel is with difficulty persuaded to rise. This he does bind quarters first, and the passenger finds himself thrust up in midair as if on a tower. The huge pad offers, no possible support, and he can scarcely overcome his desire to prevent a fall by putting his feet on the driver's shoulders. That worthy, however, soon comes up to join him, and the expedition starts. The first sensation is of being astride a table, and as the miles go by the table increases alarmingly in width, and the tyro on the back seat begins to despair of ever getting his legs acquainted again. Wide World Magazine. Discontent. Success is a disease, if the reasoning of those who give the identical definition for poverty is to be followed. An excellent preventive is idleness or inertia; another is satisfaction. Find the man who is satisfied and you need look no further for human putty. Content breeds Indias and Chinas. Discontent sends Mayflowers across oceans—not the sullen discontent that does nothing, but the discontent that manifests itself in striving to better conditions, the discontent that means hard work and plenty of it. Some firms are so contented with the volume of business they have that they do nothing to increase it. But the discontented competitor is doing something, as the first firm generally finds out before going into bankruptcy. You go ahead or you go back in this world. You cannot stand still.

The first people to adopt the month of June as sacred to Hymen, the god of marriage, were the ancient Romans, who considered June the most propitious season of the year for entering upon matrimonial relations. The Romans held that June weddings were likely to be happier than alliances contracted in any other month of the year, especially if the day chosen were that of the full moon or the conjunction of the sun and moon. They also held that of all months May was to be most avoided, as in that month newlyweds would come under the influence of spirits adverse to happy households. These ancient marriage superstitions were retained by the Christians in the middle ages, and even today June is considered by many to be pre-eminently the month of marriages. — Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph. Pretty Thin Milk Old Captain Joshua Ketcham of Amityville, N. Y., was very much beloved by the summer residents who used to sail with him on the buy and catch bluefish. There was always a refreshing flavor of the sea in his talk. One day, when a party of city men were sailing with him, the conversation turned on the difficulty of getting good milk in Amityville, and they appealed to the captain to know why that was the case. "Well," said Captain Joshua. "it's been that way as long as I can remember. My wife made me buy a cow once. I bought her from Elbert Haff, up on the north turnpike, and gave him $40 for her. Elbert said she'd give twenty quarts of milk a day, and I guess she did, but you could see bottom in siv fathoms."—Youth's Companion. It Didn't Work. The crowded car was overflowing.

I haven't many friends, anyway, and I don't think many would sorrow over my early demise. Go ahead and close your door." Then the conductor closed it—Cleveland Plain Denler. Her Reply.

AN'D DE CALF HAD CAME AMONG THE MASONS The Old Guard To the initiate and the active, energetic Masonic worker, quite often comes the natural query, why do these brethren who years ago were active in the various bodies, seem so indifferent and seldom show their faces at any Masonic gathering? Were these brethren called upon to state their reasons, their replies would be varied as the personage and underneath it all you would find their absence from Masonic gatherings does not presage loss of interest in the institution and its purposes. As men grow older, taking on the complex cares of business, the family and social circle enlarged, calling for a revision of the twenty-four hours of the day; their old inmate friends within the order scattered by the years around the earth or into the great beyond; younger brethren taking up the labors, and forming their intimate friendships, it is but natural that the elders drift away from active participation. Sound the call of necessity to these "elder brethren", they who carried the burden through the days long since past, and you will find their hearts still beat in harmony with the principles and precepts, and that it is not disinclination, but stress of wildly divergent duties; duties important to Masonic interests as that of attending meetings, or acting as others or upon committees. My mind travels back over thirty years and in reverie recall many brethren now in our midst, active in the affairs of life, whose presence is seldom, if ever, in the meetings of any of the several Masonic lodges. Knowing their former zeal and ardour labors, knowing that their hearts are in sympathy. I am sure that all the young and active and erstwhile ambitions members, while ever ready to welcome back any of the "old guard," also appreciate the conditions and do not nor should they, consider the inattendance as suggestive of indifference. It is rather for us to pay our tribute of respect to these "has been", these pioneers who labored through those days of the past under larger discouragements and builted broad and strong the structure, and we of today are enjoying the blessings that they had not, but dreamed out and labored for. I therefore say all honor to the old guard wherever they may be—Masonic Trestle Board. Duty Masary lays on us the duty to lead clean, pure, useful, temperate and charitable lives; that in every condition and circumstance of life we should remember our high calling; that we should know and do charity, not only in the relief of financial di-tress, but in all the ministrations that love dictates to the just and generous heart that we should never forget our duties as citizens and in all the responsibilities of citizenship be true in private and public life; that in the home relations our lives shall be such that content, comfort and happiness shall reign, and that as we journey through life we shall hold aloft the light of truth, making clear the way to those who follow.—Virginia Masonic Journal Govern your thoughts when alone and your tongue when in company.—Thomas A. Kemphis. The institution of Freemasonry, next to the church of of the living God, is the grandest power for good the world has ever seen. Divine in her origin, sublining in her principles, and grand in her mission, she came into the world in answer to man's cry of distress as he wondered in moral darkness. No blare of trumpets heralded her coming, but silently, gently as the dews distilled upon Hermon she came from the living heart of God to take her place in the moral kingdom as one of the mighty factors to raise man from the "dead level" where sin had laid him low to a living perpendicular of truth and righteousness. Her principles are true as the crystal waters that flow from the glaciers of the Alps. Her monuments are more enduring than brass or marble, more imperishable than the Pyramids of Egypt, for her monuments are human hearts shaped and fashioned by the matches power into perfect ashlars, fit material for the Master Builder's use in the house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. The mission of Masonry is character building, faith in God, the "chief corner-stone". What wonderful, mysterious power there is in faith, who can measure the height, fathom the depth or grasp the boundless scope of its influence? The trusting heart breathes its wishes: quicker than an electric flash it flies along the golden wire of faith to the loving heart of God. In quick response, the gates of pearl are wide open thrown, that His messengers on angel's wing may bear His answer to the prayer of faith. It was the wonderful, mysterious power of faith that nerved the arm of the father of the faithful in that hour of supreme test on Mt. Moriah's brow. It parted the waters of the Red Sea that the Children of Israel might have safe passage out of the land of bondage. It was a pillar of cloud by day and of fire by night as they wandered forty years. Its mysterious healing power was felt as they looked upon the brazen serpent uplifted in the wilderness. It gave courage to the Prophet Daniel to defy the mandate of the king, and thrice daily turn his face toward Jerusalem and his heart toward God in prayer. It threw its mysterious shield of protection about the forms of the three Hebrew child- ren as they walked unscathed amid the fierce flames of the seven times heated furnace. Its sweet influence is felt as it flows in rythmic measures through the songs of the sweet singer of Israel, and like threads of gold it will be woven in the robes of righteousness we shall wear as we stand before the throne of God.—Selected. Three-forths of the difficulties and miseries of men come from the fact that most want wealth without earning it, fame without de-serving it, popularity without temperance; respect without virtue, and happiness without holiness. THE BIG "U's" ENTERTAINED THE BIG "U'S" ENTERTAINED On Monday night September 27th, a nickel party was given by the Universal Social Club for the benefit of the club at the residence of the director. Much interest was manifested by the members of the club in the party. The party began at 7:30 and lasted until midnight. The parlor and dining room were opened into one and red and blue lights illuminated each. Many indulged in card playing, checkers and other games, dancing being the main feature. The club receives boys between the ages of thirteen and eighteen years. The next meeting will be held Sunday afternoon at 5:30 o'clock, at 606 West 32nd street. S. J. A.

A few cents saved each week amount to a large sum in a few years time. Prove it by inaugurating the plan. We never tire admonishing our young men to become full-fledged citizens by paying their poll tax and being registered voters. Twelve cents cotton is making the farmers smile and benefiting all classes of business. The happiness and prosperity of the farmers find its reflection in every avenue of endeavor. In this county and city the colored people pay annually thousands of dollars in taxation for the support of the county and city governments, and in return receive but slight recognition. More than a thousand colored registered voters should be on the books before the national election in order that a big vote may be given the next president who will be a republican. The enemic condition of the children, especially who live in the crowded districts, back lanes and dark tenements, should compell our people to find homes elsewhere. The crusade for better homes should receive the hearty co-operation of our ministers and leaders. The boll weevil has reached the Western and Southwestern parts of the state. Organized efforts are being made to allay its spread and prevent its devastating effects. In this fight our farmers should join and adopt every possible method to destroy the pest. From the 13th to the 20th of October will be known locally as "Pay Up Week," inaugurated by the Rotary Club. It will have a real beneficial effect it it be joined in by everybody. During this week especially, everybody who owe a bill, matters not how small it may be, should endeavor to pay it. The ordinary mind can hardly conceive the vastness of the amount of $500,000,000. This large sum was raised in this country for the allies of Europe. Much of it will be spent in this country. The sum received from the financing of this great amount is itself a small fortune. But is it strictly neutrality? It is true that differences are bound to arise among men but when they do there is no use carrying them to the extreme and into every path of life. The manly thing to do is to settle all differences, if this is impossible, let it remain as pertains to that especial matter, but be congenial and helpful along other lines. This proves broadness of mind. During the past ten days we were approached by more than a half dozen young women asking for employment. As business men, this is one of our problems that can be easily solved by our people, if they would more unstintingly patronize race enterprises, which will naturally grow and demand the employment of more helpers, thus our girls and boys can be employed. Within the past sixty days two destructive storms have struck our section of the country carrying with them death and devastation. The Galveston storm was indeed terrific, but much damage was prevented by the sea wall protection around the city. From meagre reports New Orleans and vicinity have suffered greatly. Savannah has much to be thankful for being out of the path of both of these storms. --- One great lesson, especially that our men and women of means should learn, is to give liberally to educational and charitable movements that are worthy. There are many of our men and women of small means who are ever ready and do respond to these calls, and the ones higher up should do likewise. The time is at hand for us to support our organizations of this kind and do not depend solely upon our white friends. As a race we will be more appreciated when it is found that we Our people have deposited in various white banks, many thousands of dollars where the only benefit they derive is a small interest payment. The banks that are benefited by this vast amount of money will never give employment in a clerical way to any of our boys and girls, nor are they inclined to foster or assist any of our business affairs unless upon very gilt-edged security. In order for our people to receive more benefits from their earnings, they should make the colored banks their depositories. There are more than forty-thousand colored people in Savannah. At least fifteen thousand are compelled to provide a home and secure the necessities to conduct the same. Each one of these homes of necessity must use wood or coal in some form. If we had a well stocked wood yard, it would be a paying proposition, and besides, it would be giving employment to more members of the race. This matter should be considered by some of our men of means, and another season should not pass without such an enterprise among us. Too little attention is being given by us to the proper training of our children. Well reared and well trained boys and girls grow into useful men and women and thus make a race of people of which to be proud. "The new way: 'You tell the teacher if he hits you, I will have him arrested.' The old way: "You may go there to dat school teacher an' of he whips you and I find out, um gua whooop you er gen." Result: The son of the "New Way" goes into the police row and from there to jail very often. 'The son of the "Old Way" rarely sees the police and has little.or no jail record. Moral: Don't spare the rod.—Exchange Who is Our Dean? The Cleveland Gazzette is among the oldest and most consistent race journals published. It is two years the senior of The Tribune. The Hon. Harry C. Smith belongs to the class of editors who have kept on the firing line. Possibly Editor W. H. Steward of the American Baptist, Louis-ville, Ky., is his only senior, else we would justly hall him the nestor of the colored press.—Savannah (Ga.) Tribune. The question now is, whether Editor Steward, of Editor Clifford of the Martinburg (W. Va.) Pioneer Press has been the longest (continuous) in the editorial "harness"? When it is answered, possibly decision can be made as to which is dean of the Afro-American editorial corps.—Gazette. As we understand it, the honor belongs to Editor Steward. He has been in harness since 1879, while Editor Clifford began his career editorially in 1882. Editor Clifford's Press is one of our sprighty and most interesting exchanges. Pitiable indeed was the sight presented Thursday, around the four colored public schools of the city when hundreds of Negro parents whose children had been denied entrance into the schools on account of lack of accommodations, stood about in groups looking wistfully at the school house where all the summer they had visions of their children entering this fall and inhibiting of the valuable information imparted there nine months during the year. It was, verily heart rending to watch these poor disappointed parents, whose little ones, trudging along at their sides, were sufficient in number to fill, at least, two more schools the size of those already in operation, as they would turn away from the schools on their way homeward, each giving unmistakable evidence of the bitter disappointment which was rankling in their hearts, but hoping against hope that the next day would provide an opening for their children to get seats. But there was no such luck. Each school had its full quota and over of students and but few pupils were added to the list the next day. The situation presented in this lack of adequate accommodation for Negro children in the schools is truly appaling. At least a little relief from this woeful condition might be got if those rooms not used at the new Cuyler Street school were provided with teachers and filled with pupils. It is a matter of fact that the Negroes of the city are sorely in need of much more school accommodation. Because of this sore need of adequate school facilities many hundreds of Negro children roam the streets, getting into all sorts of mischief and serious trouble. It is hoped that in the near future the board of education will find some practical way of relieving this dreadful situation. NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE WEEKLY LETTER By J. C. Lindsay In verification of what the Negro Business League has given to the readers of The Savannah Tribune, in its weekly letter from time to time, with regard to what the Negroes in this immediate community are doing and what they are capable of doing, it will only be necessary to call attention in a causal way to how readily they follow a worthy example set by any business man or firm that shows that the business engaged in is permanent and the prosperity of which means the employment of more worthy members of the race at salaries commensurate with their ability to perform the duties encumbent upon them. Less than a dozen years ago, there was only one Negro business corporation in this entire community, the Wage Farmers Savings bank, which, at that time, was in its swaddling clothes. Set a Good Example The good example set by this splendid id Negro financial institution has been followed by quite a number of others, which are being felt in the community as uplifting agencies of the people in the matter of assisting them in securing homes and lifting mortgages from property already in their possession. An error or financial mistake of this pioneer Negro savings bank would have proved disastrous indeed, to the Negroes in this community and would have given us a set back for at least a decade. But the officers and managers of this Negro banking business, of which we are so proud, were determined to lay the Negro financial foundation in Savannah upon which the Mechanics Savings Bank, and other splendid Negro financial Institutions, Guaranty Health and Life, the Union Development Company, the Commonwealth Real Estate Company and the Savannah Savings and Real Estate Corporation might substantially build. Deserves Great Praise The pioneer Negro financiers deserve great credit for inspiring confidence in others of us in this community, they not only taught us by cold precepts, but by example as well how to launch out into the deep and really discover ourselves. Had the lives of these men been filled with selfishness or had they not felt keenly the great racial responsibility which rested upon their shoulders, or had they not been competent and equal to the great task before them in every respect, there would be a different story to tell. Proof, Positive of Their Work As a proof of what we have said with reference of their ability to handle great and, weighty problems, it will only be necessary for one to lift up his eyes and behold that magnificent building which stands as a monument to their credit, on the corner of Alice and West Broad streets. It is said by those who are credited with having full knowledge of matters of this kind, that this banking house is the best of any owned by Negroes in this country. What is Education This question is now being discussed more in these strenuous days of bread winning than ever before. Some man has said that the education which cannot be turned into meat and bread and a good house to live in and some good clothes to protect one from the weather, counts for but little, whether the professor graduated from Yale or Harvard, or, whether he comes from the great university of "hard knocks", the question is, "What service is he to the community?" "Does he make his education count?" These are the questions up for settlement. The local branch of the National Negro Business League has about come to the conclusion that the education which does not serve as a lever to raise its possessor to a higher and a better living, is not really worth its name. The Negro business men in this community stand for education first, last and all the time, but for that brand which lifts a man up and makes him of more service to the community in which he lives. What do you think about this brand? Below we are handing you a band the local Negro business men have long since repudiated for the reason it is absolutely no good. In a certain New Jersey town, a veritable wind jammer came along who knew everything in general and nothing in particular, as to the best methods of getting something to eat, and yet he was a walking encyclopedia. This is what is said of him: "A Master of Ten Languages Begs for Bread on the Street" This man was evidently master of nothing but languages, not even himself. "In a New Jersey town, a day or two ago, a man was arrested for begging in the street. He had no home and no money. Taken to the police station, he said he could read and write ten languages. He appeared to think it was a very hard world which would deny a living to a man so highly educated $ \frac{1}{2} $ It is very likely that, despite his ability to write and speak so many languages, this man was not educated at all, in the real sense of the word-education: "The only possible position for which the ability to speak and write many languages—and that ability alone—could fit a man would be interpreter, and in a country where one language is almost universal, very few interpreters are needed. "You might add to this man's accomplishments, and still not add to his usefulness. He might be familiar with all the classics, with the history of the world, with the ancient and modern philosophers, and still be unable to earn his living. And he might, on the other hand, be barely able to read and write in one language and still prosper—perhaps make a fortune by the application of useful knowledge. "Mere learning is far from wisdom. It does not necessarily indicate ability. And it is ability that counts in the fight for existence that every human being ought to make. You can stuff a boy with Latin and Greek in a college—he can take all the prizes for languages and still be a numberer of the earth when his course is finished. Unless education is complete, unless it develops the mind in every needful direction, it is not good education. The best service that any college can do is to awaken a thirst for knowledge, to take a student far enough along this or that path to interest him in following it. After that, if he has intelligence, he can go on his way, and reading and experience will teach him far more than he could learn from any professor." The point that we make in this connection is, that the young educated men of the race must turn their education into real racial uplift, by touching and elbowing his fellows at every angle and do those practical things worth while. Get a job stick to it and make of it what you want it to be. The Negro business men in this community stand ready and are willing to render what ever service they can to the deserving young man who is willing to work. Come early to your next meeting Wednesday evening Oct., 6th and bring a friend.

MEMORIALS In sad but loving remembrance of a beloved husband and a devoted father, EDWARD LEON, Whom the Supreme Friend saw fit to call to abide with him Thursday October 1st, 1914. What a friend we have in Jesus, Was his life long song; No more trouble anywhere. To that Friend he has gone. Abide with me, another was his daily theme, To us it seems as but a dream; Thy memory still will never flee, Tho He has called thee to abide with me. Mary J.

Gentlemen: It is with a deep sense of gratification to me to submit to you my report, but permit me first, however, to thank you most heartily for the honor conferred upon me to be dubbed as your representative in the 16th session of the National Negro Business League in Boston, Mass. We arrived in Boston early Wednesday morning, August 18th, reported at the head quarters, received assignments to stopping quarters and arrived at the Convention Hall in ample time to witness the opening session. We met quite a large and enthusiastic delegation from every part of this great country, including delegates from Oklahoma and the Dominion of Canada. We listened to a number of interesting reports and speeches on business developing among our race, the record showed quite a rapid rise along the business line among our people. As I see it, we are climbing a ladder of success in this country, the most fortunate among us are nearing, the top, the less fortunate are at the bottom, but the success of my people as a race does not depend on the few at the top but rather that vast number at the bottom, since the fellow at the top will not be able to go until the crowd comes, we owe it to them in the rear ranks to help them to catch up in order that we may all go together. It is said that in union there is strength, but divided we become weak and must eventually fall. Therefore, I appeal to the citizens of Savannah and this community to use more of the get-together spirit, and let us not become discouraged for indeed the darkest hour is just before daybreak; let the fault finder become more optimistic, and let the willing workers become more willing to work. I need not dwell on this subject for indeed this gospel has been preached in its original form by Mr. J. C. Lindsay, our vice-president, through the Savannah Tribune, the mouth piece of our league. We find that Mr. Washington, the eminent and efficient president of the National League, and indeed the acknowledged Moses of the race, has very bright ideas in bringing the race together; his manner of presiding and maneuvering serves to keep harmony in the ranks of that august body. We find that the National Negro Business League convention is not a place to discuss pass words, grips and signs, neither the historic paraphernalia of fraternalism, but rather a place where men of our race from all over the country meet to discuss the business side of life, that is, how many men are in a certain line of business among Negroes, how well they have conducted their business. One feature of great interest was to hear a man get up and state that he is operating a factory canning pickles and has more than one hundred and fifty men and women employed daily in his service. So well has he mastered his business that he is stilled as the "Pickle King". Another great feature was to hear a woman get up and testify that a business started more than 40 years ago by her father and mother as an ice cream business has been kept alive by her and her brother and they have added more features to the business since the death of their parents. They also give emphasis to the fact that their business was strongly patronized not only by Negroes but by whites as well; the idea after all is to qualify in business, and the qualification of itself will demand for you the trade. Now gentlemen, let me insist that those of us who are in business qualify to do business from a first class stand point, and let us quit running on the old time line which has been discarded for many years. If we are to conduct a real estate business, let it be a dignified, up-to-date business that can serve the people in any way necessary along that line, for instance, let it be a business like that of our own Mr. Bowen. If we are to conduct a grocery store, let us dignify that store by putting in a well selected and up-to-date stock of goods and then let us keep fresh goods that will be cherishing and palatable to our customers; that time has come and gone when we may expect people to patronize us because we are Negroes, they are not going to do it, and I don't blame them. Now if we are to conduct insurance business we should have well regulated and equipped offices in which to transact business, then polished and polite help in our offices to serve the public, then we must be and are in a position to give the business public to whom we cater as much for their money as anybody regardless of race, creed or kind. Our home league has gained too much prominence and has grown too popular for us to let it go down, and like the children of Israel, we have traveled too far to turn back, we must journey to the promise land. There should be a publicity committee including the president and secretary of our league to move around among our people from time to time and advocate the various lines of business conducted by the members of the league and in this way solicit the patronage of our people for members of the league. We must also remember that we are up against sharp competition, and were we not up against any competition at all we owe it to the public, gentlemen, to give them a square deal in business; when a man pays for a pound he wants a pound, us see to it that he gets a peck, by doing this it will not only bring the customer back but through the customer likewise when he pays for a peck let you will get his friends and neighbors. And last but not least we as members of the league, owe to the league and its success service and talent alike, we should first serve and pay our dues and insist upon our brother to pay his dues. The league has its current expenses to meet and some fixed understanding should be brought about by each to get this money. We have an expense. of $5.00 per month for rent, and $7.00 dollars per month secretary's salary, and the postage expense of sending notices to the members twice per month together with whatever other expenses develop from time to time. The secretary's office is the only paid office we have and is the only one we should have, the only thing about it is we do not pay him enough for the valuable service he renders. I call your attention to the fact that we have only one newspaper in Savannah, namely, The Tribune, but we as citizens of Savannah as a whole are not showing ourselves as appreciative as we should, first of all we should subscribe more liberally for The Tribune and read it because you are reading of events which take place among our people; the next thought is that when we see an "ad" in The Tribune of some fellow's business, when we go to purchase, we can serve The Tribune and do them great good by simply making an explanation to the business proprietor that we saw it advertised in The Tribune. We must cultivate home pride and learn, well the fact that we are our brother's keeper, for this very reason, because of the very sensational act in the lynching of a white man in Georgia, subsequently to my departure for Boston. I was forced to take a brave stand in defense of the loyalty of Georgia before that august body, the Northern newspapers magnified the act, as one of the most horrible in our civilization, so much so, the people took it up and thrust a deal of criticisms on Georgia, our home state. When it became my time to take my place on the program, I arose at the physiological moment and resented with all the emphasis of which I was capable, the insults and criticisms made on Georgia. I told among other things of worth and praise, that I was not afraid to declare myself from the Southland and from Georgia at that. To what extent I had impressed that audience was unknown to me, but when the Boston daily paper came out the next day, in glaring headlines these remarks appeared: "The most enthusiastic boomer of the Southland was A. B. Singfield of Savannah, Georgia, who said he wasn't afraid to declare himself from the Southland and from Georgia at that. Mr. Singfield, said the Boston Evening Globe, is prominent in the insurance business, a director of a bank and several other business enterprises of his city (Savannah). He declared that the colored people in Georgia were living on the best of terms with the whites, and after all, conditions are not so bad as as they have been pictured, he declared emphatically, 'we are enjoying a free atmosphere, there is no segregation. In fact, the white people are like a jail in a community, they never disturb you unless you first disturb them." In the above utterances, I am quoted correctly. I felt called upon to represent my home state and its interest. I told of the sterling worth of the Negroes of Georgia as bankers, as real estate dealers, as merchants, as barbers, as machinists, and as mechanical workmen, as printers and newspaper men, etc. I also told of the undertakers, bakers, tailors, and photographers, last but not least, the insurance companies in Georgia, in general, and Savannah in particular, with their hundreds of men and women employed, as representatives, which have played quite a conspicuous part in solving this vexed and intricate Negro problem. Mr. L. M. Pollard of this city and of our league, accompanied me on this major trip. Joyful, harmonious and pleasant were our associations. I regard it a real treat for us to have been together, he proved himself quite a strong social pal, and I never in all my life found myself more pleasantly associated with a gentleman, than I did with Mr. Pollard. Now, gentlemen, we have much for which we should feel grateful, we should thank God for these golden opportunities, first, then we should strive to make the best possible use of our opportunities, God made a little seed and put in that seed the nature and inspiration to become a flower. He also made the acorn and placed within the acorn the nature to become a mighty oak with its branches extending outward, hence we should be as stalwart as the oak, by seeing to it that local leagues are organized throughout the state of Georgia, and that a well established state league be also organized to the credit of our state. I therefore, recommend that our league take such steps as may be necessary to dignify and magnify its existence, and then look forward to the organization of other leagues in the state as well as to organize a general state league. If this is done, gentlemen, unborn generations will rise up and note the progress made by the pioneers of this movement and will seek to emulate your footprints on the sands of time, and rejoice and call us blessed. Respectfully submitted. Saving Fish After Floods. "One of the most important lines of work carried on by the fisheries branch of the government," said an official, "is the rescue of food and game fishes from the overflowed lands in the Mississippi valley. After the floods subside shallow pools are left, they are wholly disconnected from the stems, and in these the fishes gradually sh as the drying of the pools progresses. By sending men to seine these pools the government each year saves and returns to public waters hundreds of thousands of valuable fishes." Mild Result. The courtroom was crowded. A wife was seeking divorce on the grounds of extreme cruelty and brutally abusive treatment. The husband was on the stand undergoing a grueling cross examination. The examining attorney said: "You have testified that your wife on one occasion threw cayenne pepper in your face. Now, sir, kindly tell us what you did on that occasion." The witness hesitated and looked confused. Every one expected that he was about to confess to some shocking act of cruelty. But their hopes were shattered when he finally blurted out: "I ungrateful. Everybody's." Her Very Clear Thoughts. "Well, nunty, what are your thochts about marryin'?" asked a young woman in Scotland the other day of her nunt, 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, 'Whin' I tak'? Then, as time began to wear by, I thocht, 'Whin' I get? An' after I got my leg broken wi' that whumel out o' Saunders McDrunthle's cart my thochts syne hae bin, 'Wha'll tak' me?" Hats Off to the Flag. "The greatest tribute I ever saw paid to the stars and stripes," says Colonel Payson Bradley, past commander of the Massachusetts Grand Army, "was not on American soil. When the Ancient and Honorable Artillery landed at Liverpool on its visit to England in 1896 the line of march was crowded with over 100,000 persons. When we unfolded Old Glory we were struck with surprise at the cheers which went up from those English people. As we marched along every man, from the Prince of Wales to the lowest bootblack, took off his hat while the stars and stripes passed. I would like to see that happen once in Boston or New York before I die."—Boston Record. Delaware's Northern Boundary. Delaware's Northern Boundary. Why the northern boundary of Delaware should have been circular in form is often a source of wondersm. It came about in this way: After William Penn had obtained a grant of Pennsylvanian he was desirious of owning the land on the west bank of the Delaware to the sea. He procured from the Duke of York in 1628 a release of all his title and claim to New Castle and twelve miles around it and to the land between this tract and the sea. A line that was the arc of a circle of a twelve mile radius was then run, with New Castle as a center. When the three "lower counties" on the Delaware became a state they retained this boundary.—Chicago Journal. His Desire "I'm going down to the hotel," said old man Bentover, "to consult that 'are celebrated surgeon who advertises to perform operations entirely without pain. I want to get him to cut off my worthless son-in-law." Judge. Necessity Haa No Law. "I wish I could afford to own an automobile," remarked Brownsmith, who was taking a spin in Flubdub's touring car. "I wish I could, too," replied Flubdub.-Lite. "Say, Subbubs. I understand you have Neighbor Wombat's rake." "I have." "If you'll loan me that occasionally I'll let you use Dingbat's lawn mower when you use"—Kansas City Journal. Languages. 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 Chaldea 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 Graham-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 Gutenberg. There is pretty good evidence of a Chinese Gutenberg, one Pi 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."

Members and friends are cordially invited to patronize this coming event. With great regret and sorrow we have learned the sad news of the death of John Simmons, one of the most faithful and devoted members of St. Benedict's parish. He died last Sunday afternoon at the Georgia Infirmary where he had been laid up for many months with a lingering disease. His mortal remains were brought to St. Benedict's Church Monday afternoon. A large crowd of friends had gathered there to pay the last tribute on respect to the deceased brother. The interment took place at the Cathedral cemetery, where, after the last prayers read by Rev. E. Peter, the choir sang several hymns to the much regretted friend and brother. We extend our sincerest and most heartfelt condolence to the family, may his dear soul rest in peace. FIRST A. B. CHURCH The pulpit of the First A. B. Church was filled by Rev. J. K. B. Butler on last Sunday at both services, the pastor. Rev. T. J. Goodall being out of the city on a vacation. A creditable thering was out in the morning and a large gathering at night. Rev. Chas Robinson conplucted the order of service. A number of visitors were present at both services. The pastor will occupy his pulpit on tomorrow at each service, after a well spent vacation, and will, no doubt, have many interesting things to impart to the church, especially about the National Baptist Convention, which will meet here in 1916. The Sunday school will convene at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning to begin the change from the afternoon and will continue thereafter. Parents will take notice and send their children on time, and come yourself if possible. Communion service tomorrow afternoon at 3:30 o'clock, B. Y. P.

VALUE OF LIFE No one, I am sure, ever laid down a great tragedy without an overwhelming sense of the value of life—life as it is, life at its most pitiless and cruel, with all its iniquities, suffering, perplexity—without feeling that he would far rather have lived and had all that than not have lived at all.—G. Lowes Dickinson. SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson III.—Fourth Quarter, For Oct. 17, 1915. Text of the Lesson, II Kings v, 1-14. Memory Verses, 7, 8—Golden Text, Ex. xv, 26—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. In our last lesson we saw the triumphant entry into glory, without dying, of the discouraged man who wanted to die. If we would keep our eyes on the glory which surely awaits us we would not be so easily cast down (Rom. vill, 18). We also saw the Spirit of God in Elijah so manifestly upon Elisha that others recognized it. So it should be with us. Elisha longed for a double portion of Elijah's spirit and by his unwavering beholding he obtained it. The Lord wrought through Elijah six miracles and through Elisha at least twelve. Like Elijah he divided Jordan, restored a boy to life, multiplied bread and oil and did other wonders which Elijah did not. Previous to the lesson of today, besides those just mentioned, there was the healing of the waters at Jericho and of the poisoned pottage and the waters that filled ditches without wind or rain. The multiplying of the widow's oil to pay her debt and save her sons (lv, 1-7) suggests what might be our privilege if we were empty vessels and believed God. The bringing to life of the Shunammite's son brings us face to face with Him who is the resurrection and the life, who alone doeth wonders and still liveth. The people in today's lesson are a proud, mighty man, captain of the host of the king of Syria, very self important, but a leper; a little mald of Israel, who loved to magnify the God of Israel; a man of God, who lived before God and sought nothing from man, and some servants who were wiser than their master. How sad and how suggestive the words concerning this mighty man in valor who had wrought deliverance for Syria, "a leper," an incurable sick man with the most loathsome of all diseases. What did his greatness amount to under these circumstances? Leprosy is the most remarkable emblem of sin in the Bible, and all are by nature children of wrath, dead in trespasses and sins, spiritually lepers (Eph. ii. 1-3). What profit was there in the abundance or the riches of the men of Luke xii and xvi when their souls were required of them? What does it profit a man to be great in this world or to have millions of money if he is not a saved man? If he dies out of Christ the fate of the rich man of Luke xvi must be his. This little captive maid of the land of Israel, if she had been an ordinary child, might have said: "I am glad that he is a leper. Why did he take me away from my home?" and other such rebellious words; but, though she must have had an aching heart, she was evidently a true child of God and, like Joseph in the house of Potiphar, sought to glorify God even in her very trying circumstances. She was like Pollyanna. She was sorry for Naaman and told his wife, on whom she waited, of the prophet of God in Israel who could do such wonderful things. How she puts to shame the complainers who are so prone to murmur because of their circumstances and also all who know of the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, but never tells others of it. Where is the spirit of him who said. "As much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel;" "By all means to save some" (Rom. i. 14-16; I Cor. ix. 22). Because of the little maid's testimony kings are moved and health brought to the leper, but we do not hear of any reward for the little maid. The Lord will not forget her in the resurrection (Luke xiv. 14; Matt. 42). The king of Syria sent Naaman to the king of Israel with a letter and much silver and gold and ten changes of raiment (verses 5, 6). The king of Israel was the wrong man to go to, but Elisha heard of it and said, "Let him come now to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel" (verse S). Can you see the great man, with all his retinue, at the door of the house of Elisha, expecting the prophet to come out to him and with some great display give him health? Do you see the man of God calmly abiding in his house and sending a messenger to say, "Go and wash in Jordan seven times?" (Verses 9-11). Then do you see a great, proud man going away in a rage? (Verse 12.) What a fearful thing is pride and self importance, and how foolish are our thoughts! Yet Abraham suffered because he had his own thoughts, and Mary had three days' sorrow because she supposed (Gen. xx, 11; Luke ii, 44). By the reasonable advice of his servants Naaman became calm and obeyed the voice of God by the prophet and was thoroughly healed, made clean (verses 13, 14). Now see him and all his company again before Elisha acknowledging the God of Israel as the true God and urging the prophet to accept a reward or a blessing. But the man of God refused, reminding us of Abram and the king of Sodom (Gen. xiv, 22, 23). There is no salvation for the sinner except by the blood of Jesus Christ, who went down into the waters of Jordan, or judgment, for us. We cannot recompense Him for salvation, but we can serve Him because He saves us. The gift of God cannot be-purchased (Acts vill, 20). Is the Home of Sweets.

Miss Cook's work shows constant improvement and she is easily a leader among the concert-vaudeville artists of the race. A committee of colored citizens called upon the educational authorities of the District last week to ask that the M. Street high school be converted into a mammoth vocational center when the new high school for colored students shall have been completed. The delegation was headed by Mr. Arthur C. Newman, director of the Cardozo Vocational school and chief of the vocational system in the colored schools. The matter was taken under advisement. Mr. Joseph H. Douglass, the noted violinist, grandson of Frederick Douglass, is to appear in Pittsburg at the Washington Park Field House Auditorium, Tuesday evening, October 12th. He will be accompanied by his wife Mrs. Fannie Howard Douglass, pianist and dramatic reader. Mr. Douglass is booked for Chicago and the West. There is not the slighest bit of truth in the rumor that Mr. Joseph Douglass may assume charge of the Douglass Homestead on Cedar Hill, Anacostia. A statement of the whole Douglass estate matter will be given out soon, to clear up many false reports and aggravating misunderstandings. Mrs. Rufus G. Byars, Wife of the popular house manager of the Howard Theater, is at Freedmen's hospital, where she is to undergo a serious operation. Miss Clarice Jones, daughter of Counsellor and Mrs. Thomas L. Jones, returns this week to Salisbury, N. C. to resume charge of her work as director of music at Livingston College. Miss Jones is an honor graduate of the conservatory of music. Cornell University, Ithaca, N. X., and is regarded as the most accomplished pianist that has ever come out of that famous institution of learning. Miss V. E. Hackney, of North Carolina, en route to Philadelphia and other points North, to visit friends, stopped over in Washington to chat with her brother, Mr. James V. Hackney, of the public health service. Misses Emma Lucas and Viola Menard have gone to Westchester, Pa., and Hillburn, N. Y., respectively, to take charge of their schools. Gen. Joseph L. Jones, of Cincinnati, supreme vice chancellor of the Knights of Pythias and grand worthy counselor of the Court of Calanthe, and Hon. Charles A. Cottrill, of Toledo, who has just retired after a successful term as collector of internal revenue for the district of Hawaii, will be in the city early in October on business connected with the Pythian Order. Both are typical Buckeyes and are immensely popular here. They will be given a royal welcome by the Washington "smart set". Mme. Emma C. Monzaro, manufacturer of a proprietary medicine, and a singer of note, is giving a tent exhibition this week at 15th and H streets, northwest, and drawing crowds. The feature of the exhibition is the fine musical work that is being done by the famous Seminoles, Paul Sims and his little son, who play on all kinds of instruments and appear in true Indian costume in native songs and dances and typical Indian music as played by the original Seminoles, of whom they are direct descendants. Mme. Monzaro's entertainments and bookings are now under the direction of Frederico DeBotts, until recently connected with the S. H. Dudley Theatrical enterprises. Mrs. George Douglas Johnson has written two senarios which have been accepted by a leading moving picture company in New York City. Mrs. Johnson is the wife of Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson, of Atlanta, Ga., former recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia. The case of the supreme officers of the Knights of Pythias and the grand lodge of the K. of P. of Virginia is to be called up in the supreme court of the District of Columbia October 8. The action will be handed down by Justice Fredrick L. Siddons. A vigorous contest is expected. The affairs of the Pullman sleeping car corporation will be aired in Congress during the next session, if present indications count for anything. The Negro, of course, will figure conspicuously in a portion of the proceedings. In accordance with recommen- dations of the United States Commission on Industrial Relations, ushill is likely to be introduced early in the coming session prohibiting the tipping of employees of public service corporations doing an interstate business. The Commission's recommendations are based largely upon its investigation of the affairs of the Pullman Car Company in which figured prominently the problem of wages and "tips" received by the colored porters employed by the company. The question is a big one and there will be much said on both sides. The Clarks and the Bruces, two star teams, well known on the "Big time", but new to the colored vaudeville houses, came to the Howard last week and scored tremendous hits. Miss Clark's rendition of "The Slowest Girl in Town" was worth the price of admission, and Mr. Bruce's buck and wing dance on roller-skates was the best of the kind seen on a local stage. These two teams are to be the season's winners on the Dudley circuit and there is a lively competition among the managers as, to who will get a chance at their services. Mr. Amphias H. Glenn is acting as assistant superintendent in charge of the colored schools, in the absence of Mr. Bruce. Major Wilson Ballard and wife are expected here this week. Major Ballard has been associated with Major Young in organizing a constabulary in Liberia. He is here to lay before the War Department a map of the country in and about Mourovia and to submit recommendations looking to the advancement of the work the United States is doing for the enlightment and uplift of the Liberian section of the Dark Continent. The Passing Show in Washington The effervescent S. H. Dudley, with a brand new budget of fun and old-fashioned philosophy, is drawing overflow audiences at the Howard this week. In the parlance du pave, l$^a$ is a "riot". Mr. Dudley has again joined hands with William Ram-say, who is the best "traight man" he ever worked with. No two men ever more thoroughly under-took each other than Dudley and Ram-say, and their team work is a marvel. Dudley, quick on the trigger to put over a bright bit of wit, is apt to hand out a line of stuff that has not been rehearsed with Ram-say, and the latter is compelled to carry on the conversation in keeping with Dudley's, rapid-fire new matter, without the audience knowing the difference. This sort of thing keeps Ram-say on the jump all the time, but, it must be said to his credit that he has not yet failed to handle Dudley's delivery, even if he has to "stall" some times until he can get back to the safety line of the sketch as originally planned. Dudley's 'rich, rare and frequently racy comedy and Ram-say's delightful tenor singing constitute an act that has no counterpart on the stage to-day. Beginning the first week in October, Dudley and Ram-say go West on the Pantage time and inaugurate a tour that will take them to the Pacific coast and back, covering the entire period between now and February. Afro-American stage-land in general will watch their progress with deep interest. The cool weather is impelling the managers of the Palace, Foraker and Iceland airdomes to say "good-bye" until the springtime and the flowers come again. Whitney and Tutt and Blanche Thompson come to the Howard next week in "George Washington Bullion Abroad." They come with the endorsement of Philadelphia and New York. ST. STEPHEN'S SCHOOL St. Stephen's kindergarten and primary school will begin its 23rd year on October 4, under the supervision of Mrs. Lucy W. Taylor, a graduate kindergartener of Hampton Institute, and a teacher of wide experience, having taught in the public schools of Virginia for a number of years. This school needs no introduction to the public as it has stood the test of the community for years, having always had at its head a trained kindergartener and a teacher of experience. It was the first kindergarten for col- BEACH INSTITUTE Under the auspices of the AMERICAN MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION Grades Five to Twelve, Normal and college Preparatory Courses, Domestic Science for Girls.

BOXING CONTEST AT AIR DOME A fifteen round boxing contest will be pulled off at the Air Dome Theatre, Hall lane and West Broad streets, on Monday night between Jack Russell of Montgomery, Ala., and Knockout Lou Williams of Savannah, Ga. The bout is scheduled to come off at 9:30 o'clock and promises to be an exciting event as both fighters are in good condition and have been working out every day for the contest. Aside from the main bout there will be a preliminary and also a battle royal between five hunky boys. Promoter Joe Jennings has everything well in hand for the go, and there is no reason why a large crowd should not be out to witness the affair. The price of admission will be 50 and 75 cents.
