VOLUME XXXI WAGE EARNERSBANK MAKES $7000.00 IMPROVEMENTS ELEVATOR BEING INSTALLED IN BANK BUILDING $8000Christmas Fund Issued Dec. 11th Contractor Pharrow Expects to Complete Work in About Five Weeks Bank Receives Excellent Report From State Examiners. Contractor Pharrow of Atlanta is in the city making improvements on the beautiful $40,000 building of the Wage Earners Savings Bank which he erected last year. Contractor Pharrow says that these improvements will cost about $7,000, the principal feature of the work being the installation of a high speed electric elevator which will greatly add to the convenience of the tenants on the second and third floors of the building. This work will probably consume about five weeks, and its completion will make the building one of the most convenient and up to date office buildings in the city. On next Saturday the bank will issue checks to the members of its Christmas club. 'This is the first year this institution has conducted a club of this kind and the success of the venture may be seen from the fact that a total amount of $8,000 will be paid out of the inmates. Among the 656 members of the club were many errand, paper and delivery boys. There were four distinct clubs conducted, 10c, 25c, 50c, and $1. Beautifully decorated checks, very applicable to the holiday season, will be issued on the 11th, next Saturday, to the members of the clubs for the amounts they have deposited during the year. The Wage Earners is the strongest and largest Negro bank in the country. It recently became a state institution and the report of the state bank examiners which was made last week gives the institution an unusually excellent record. The report shows a paid in capitol of $49,900.00 of a total capitalization of $50,000: surplus and undivided profits of $45,670.89, total resources of $315,808.05 and a $01,376.21 valuation on the banking house. The 1916 Christmas clubs are now opened for membership and it is expected that next year's membership will greatly surpass that of this year. A report of the examination which the bank underwent week before last is published in the large ad on page four of this issue of The Tribune. F. A. B. CHURCH REMEMBERED THE POOR ON THANKSGIVING The Baptist Young People' Union served a very delicious dinner to the old people of the church on Thanksgiving day. About 25 old people were given dinner in the basement of the church, and 36 baskets were sent to others who could not be present. The B. Y. P. U. deserves much credit for the splendid work that is being done by our young people. Mr. J. S. Delaware is the president, and is an untiring worker. He is being ably assisted by a corps of assistants who seem to have caught the inspiration of service. While the old folks were eating in the church the young people entertained them with songs and music. After dinner Rev. Goodall made appropriate remarks, and offered prayer. The old folks then arose and complimented the young people, and thanked them for their efforts. Another Thanksgiving day passed into history with the grand old church emerging from the battle line with another glorious page added to her already proud history. Last Sunday was a glorious day at the First Church, early prayer meeting was well attended, large congregation at 11 a.m., and 8 p.m., the main floor of the spacious auditorium was crowded. The Order White Rose Tent was present for a sermon and prayer, both were delivered by the pastor. Our revival is still going on. A good number have already been converted. Baptism Sunday morning at 6 o'clock. Preaching at 11 a.m. and 8 p.m. Every loyal member of the Church is expected to pay $1.00 Sunday. Communion Sunday at 3:30 p.m. This is the last communion in the year and every member should be present. THE MUSEUM OF THE WORLD LAD OF EIGHTEEN STABBED TO DEATH William Weston, a lad eighteen years of age, was fatally stabbed on last Saturday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock at Jefferson and Wayen streets, by John Reid, about the same age. He died a short while after the cutting. According to witnesses the two lads became engaged in a fight when both brought knives into play, resulting in Weston being cut in the heart. Reid escaped after the cutting but later in the day he was taken, to police headquarters by his parents. At the preliminary hearing in recorder's court Monday morning Reid was turned over to the higher court on a charge of involuntary manslaughter. The funeral of Weston took place on Tuesday after noon from Royal Undertaking parlor, Rev. W. L. Cash, officiated. He is survived by a wife and a mother and father, Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Weston; a brother and several sisters. LAWYER UNJUSTLY ACCUSED During the week a warrant was sworn out against Mr. Gen. W. Hall, a lawyer, accusing him of securing five dollars illegally from a prisoner. The case came up before the recorder and was dismissed. All of Mr. Hall's friends are glad of his vindication. Communion tomorrow afternoon at 3:30 o'clock. Rev. E. D. Davis will conduct the service. A special article bearing on the past foot ball season among Negro colleges will appear in next Saturday's issue of The Tribune.

(Continued on last page) URBAN LEAGUE CHRISTMAS FUND PLEASING AMOUNT SUBSCRIBED Individuals and Organizations Asked to Assist the Cause. Following its custom of the past two years, the Urban League will again raise a Christmas and Charity fund for the poor. Last year this organization raised for this purpose, the carrying of good cheer on Christmas morning into the homes of the indigent, nearly $500.00, the exact amount collected being $454.61 and the contributed articles by stores and individuals swelled the amount by approximately $175. Never before were the poor of the city so generously remembered during the Christmas time and the name of the Urban League was herald from one end of the city to the other during the holiday season. This year the league hopes to surpass the record of Last Christmas. Already the canvassing committee is out visiting the merchants in behalf of the cause and many valuable articles have been secured. To date personal and club subscriptions to the amount of nearly $70 have been received. The members of the league will institute a whirlwind campaign for funds next week and those who wish to assist this worthy cause are asked to contribute liberally. Subscriptions may be sent to The Tribute or any of the three colored banks. Those who have already subscribed to the fund are: Master Samuel Ayers.....$ 25 J. H. Butler.....1.00 Mrs. S. J.

THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS Costumes for Shopping and Afternoon Tea HIP DRAPERIES AND PANTA. LETTES New York, Novembre 29.—Christmas is in the air! We are reminded of its nearness at every street corner; even the most matter-of-fact among us must feel its spirit and anticipate its cheer. Safe and sane Christmas shopping has been preached for ages but, nevertheless, each year sees the same crowd in the shops and hears the same question on every side "what shall I give for Christmas?" It is easily answered this year if the intended recipient is female. There are all sorts of wearables that may be laid at the dalty maid's door on Christmas morning to be received with little exclamation of delight. The Shopper's Costume If oe has time to tarry a moment or two at the main entrance of one of the big shops on one of these busy afternoons, they will have a revelation of clothes. Serge rules in the matter of suits and simple frocks; furs are much in evidence and never have we had a season when they were so be- © MCCALL The New Gauntlet Sleeves coming and so much within the reach of all pocketbooks. There are wide soft collar and cuffs; small round muffs, and any number of other accessories which may be made at home if desired, and added to the suit of serge to enchance its charm and style. Scarcely a suit or frock, passing in and out on its Christmas mission, but shows a touch of fury; braid, too, is having its day on taule and coat; one cannot but remark the wonderful variety in collars and sleeves. The majority of the suits show the high collars and many of the dresses too, although one often glimpse beneath top-coat, and suit-coat, at dainty, sheer rgette with open throat, dainty in its softness. The flair is the thing on collars, cuffs, tunics, coat edged and skirt hems. On many of the rippling coats and skirts, tape holds the ripples gracefully in place; this tape is arranged around the lower edge of the lining and is in the same color: often-times too, a narrow taffeta or picot-edged ribbon is used instead of tape. In the Way of Sleeves There is the leg-o'-mutton, the gauntlet sleeve, in many variations, the bell-sleeve, the angle sleeve, and the sleeve gathered at armhole and waist. It is quite a novelty, the sleeves gathered into the armhole; and it is true to its old-time inspiration, even to the slight puff at the shoulder. One of the most graceful sleeves of all is the gauntlet with wide, tight-titting cuff, flaring slightly over the hand. The ugliest hand in the world must gain in grace with such a cuff. The full gathered sleeves are particularly graceful and pretty in the transparent fabrics now so much favored for sleeves in all sorts of frocks. The serge coat dress is a general favorite for shopping and street ware. A particularly chic model is made with long, pointed tunic, gauntlet sleeves, high collar and a novel surplice closing. Blue serge trimmed with small braid-covered buttons and loops and a wide band of Hercules braid edging the tunic is the most attractive combination. The Charm of Hip Draperies We have always admired the grace and delightfully feminine note in the puffed and panniered figures of Wat- teau and our own Colonial days; these have returned in the smart hip draperies, panniers, and hoops of recent introduction. A soft saun, in dark tone, draped gracefully over the hips with wide loops suggestive of pockets, was trimmed with a bright contrasting brocade very effectively; the costume was worn at a recent charity bazaar for a Christmas fund and received considerable attention because of its simplicity and good style. How About the Petticoat Has the petticoat returned in all its old-time fluffiness and rustle, to add © MCCALL Graceful Hip Draperies to the bonfancy and charm of the full skirt, or have the dainty pantalettes, introduced quietly and cautiously at the beginning of the season, entirely usurped its place in the hearts of well-dressed women? One must admit that the soft frilled pantidette, or trou-er-petticoat, is delightfully practical as well as fascinating. The full skirt may billow and blow in the wind to its heart's content with no affront to modesty. These pantelette petticoats when worn with the tailored skirt or frock are usually in the same tone as the costume, trimmed fith self ruffles, corded, fringed or plented. For evening wear, of course, they are sheer, of chiffon-cloth, crepe or net, lace trimmed and frilly. HAMPTON WINS CHAMPIONSHIP Defeats Howard by a Score of 18 to 0 By Charles H. Williams, physical director, Hampton Institute Hampton, Va More than 3,000 lovers of the gridiron sport from all sections of the country witnessed the annual classic between Hampton Institute and Howard University on Thanksgiving day, on the Hampton Athletic Field, when Hampton became the champion of the Middle Atlantic States while Howard was crushed by the most overwhelming defeat of all the years of her gridiron activities. The weather man seemingly made the day to order, for under clear skies, no wind, and a temperature agreeable to both players and spectators, the greatest conflict of the decade was pulled off before a crowd wildly enthusiastic, including hundreds of rooters for Howard. News had gone out from Washington that Howard had put on the field the fast team the university had seen in five years—one trained in the intricacies of play, experts in handling double, triple and forward passes—so the great throng gathered to see a heart thrilling contest between these well-matched rivals, neither]of which had met defeat in this season's series. The loss of eight varsity players by Hampton last season was sufficient excuse for her opponents to think her chance for a good team was slim. Hampton's season began withalmost an entirely new line up, some of the men not even having played on the school's second eleven last year. But by the hard work of Captain Gayle and the coaches the greatest machine in the history of the school was turned out, a machine which showed mastery of the game and possessed both a wonderful defense and a superlative offense. The great offensive work that Howard had promised crumbled before the mighty charging of Hampton's forwards and the fast, hard tackling of the Howard runners was blocked by Hampton's secondary defense even behind the scrimmage line. At no time during the game was Howard dangerous. Only four first downs were made rushing the ball by Howard's backs during the entire game.

From the spectators' point of view the game was a fine piece of straight football playing, without any attempt at individual starring, the members of each team working together like well-oiled parts of some great machine. It was a hard fought battle throughout, but at all times a splendid spirit was in evidence, which is characteristic of Hampton-Howard games. The work of Penderhughes, McCain, and Matthews stand out for Howard, while Rigney, Atkins. Coleman, and Harvey did excellent work for Hampton. This game ends the career of three men well-known in football circles all over the country—Bryce and Beamon for Howard, and Gayle, the most wonderful player Hampton has ever produced. Hampton justly claims the championship of the Middle Atlantic States, having defeated Shaw, Union, and Howard, none of the teams having been allowed to cross her goal line.

High Ideals If we have high ideas we shall live good lives. “It is not in our stars, but in our Ideals that our destinies lie.” Freemasonry teaches us that we should labor to subdue our passion. Hatred, mutlice, lust and envy must never be- come our masters. To conquer one's self is the Nigh ideal our order teach- es. The man who hay ruled his own soul has conqueréd a greater work than one who has conquered a nation. Freemasonry teaches the equality of man, and that the whole world is one sreat family, It has attracted the art- Ist. the student, the poet, the peasant, the statesman and the monarch. Its underlying and eternal principles and ideals have united men of every coun- try and opinion and conciliated the truest friendship among them. Masonry is not a reformatory ine stitution, Men should be Musons at heart, before they should be allowed to enter our portals. ‘Temperance, prndence, fortitude and virtue are all Maconte ideals. | Kingdoms have arisen and fallen, monuments of man's greatness have crumbled into dust, ages of wars and revolutions have passed away, but Freemasonry , notwithstanding, has still surviyed. substantially unchanged in aim and end. The future of our fraternity de- pends entirely upon how Ioyal its mem- hers are to its ideals, If Masons are Zood men and citizens the influence of the order for all that is best in life will continue to extend its ever-wid- ening circles, and with xn influence, wider than ever before. Freemasonry has always been the exponent of free thought and free speech, and it is the steadfast champion of political and re- Ugious liberty—Square and Compass. We occasionally find lodges in New York as well as elsewhere, that take pride in their individuality, In intro- ducing little innovation in “the work” and in the custom and usages of the craft which makes them “different” from other lodges. Ina recent address Lord Barnard, Privincial Grand Mas- ter of Durham, took occasion to re- uke such lodges. He declared that “there was nothing more unfortunate than for a lodge to have its own pp- enliar habits and customs, and to say ‘we do this and we do that, which is hot done elsewhere’ Masonry was was universal, be sald, in its principles and practices more or sexs the samic the world over, and it would be a very seat misfortune for th e craft, he yentured to think, if each Jodee were to Henry Mears Feed Company WHOLESALE, AND RETAIL DEALER IN HAY AND “GRAIN OF ALL.

Saturday December 4th, 1915 This is tax paying time and the voters must keep in mind their obligation and start in time for the ide of next November. The people of Waycross have hung A. Knocker and enthroned B. A. Booster. The same is recommended to the colored people of Savannah. "Nobody on earth can fathom the depth to which man can descend, impelled by jealousy. Jealousy is as cruel as the grave." very truthfully asserts the St. Luke Herald. Personally, one of the best things is for a person to have confidence in himself, then he is bound to succeed if his aspirations are along the proper lines. Several persons have asserted that Col. Roo-evelt will again be a candidate for the presidency. So far he has refuted this by demanding the removal of his name from the Nebraska primary list. Congress will be in session Tuesday and the Democrats will hoist its measures in the country. The patriotic Republicans, altho in the minority, will sound the alarm at the proper time and keep the people on guard. It requires years of toil, sacrifice and worry to place on solid foundation a stable business, but how easily can the same be destroyed. This much the cofedored Baptist of the country should consider. They should rise above feeling and faction and stick to the National Publishing House in Nashville. Despite the hard times several of our people have done remarkably well during the year in securing homes and purchasing lots. The list could have been increased. if the more thoughtful ones would only stop and consider. We are looking forward to a great boom along this line during the coming year. --- More than eight thousand dollars will be distributed by the Wage Earners Savings Bank as savings from its Christmas Club. This distribution will make glad the hearts of many, and at the same time it proves how beneficial it would be if all of our people would systematically save their pennies, dimes and dollars and instill the same habit into their children. --- England continues to molest the shipping of this country by capturing steamers, searching them and giving annoyance in many forms. To all of these outrages the press of the country is silent and the administration seems unmoved. On the other hand, the least action of Germany is vehemently protested against. This administration has a peculiar way of showing its neutrality. All of the loyal race layers rejoice with the officers, stockholders and patrons of the Wage Earners Savings Bank over the excellent commendation given the bank by the State Bank Examiners. This institution has done much in putting the colored people on the map and now that its financial standing is approved by those who are in a position to know, all of our people should give it unstinted support. Republican politics in the state will soon be shaping itself and the voters will be importuned by the ambitious ones for places on the national delegation roll. The Independent of last week contained a large cut of National at Committeeman Henry S. Jackson, and paid him a glowing tribute. The Post came out with a boost for Col. R. E. Pharrow as one of the delegates from the Fifth District. Thus it is seen that things are somewhat warming up. The Christmas season will soon be with us, and many are preparing to remember those who are near and dear to them. In making these preparations let us not lose sight of the unfortunate ones who are in our --- midt. A few cents or a few dollars as we are able, spent on them would go a far way in causing all of us to spend a happy Christmas, and at the same time giving cheer to the poor ones. In order to reach these unfortunate ones, contribute to the Christmas and Charity Fund of the Urban League, an institution that has helped hundreds of our people during the past two years. BOOST FOR THE WAGE EARNERS SAVINGS BANK One of State Bank Examiners Speaks: In Glowing Terms. As already mentioned in these columns, the state bank examiners gave the Wage Earners Savings bank thoro examination last week and each of these examiners gave expressions of commendation on its very excellent condition and the conservative manner in which its business affairs are being conducted. One of the examiners, Hon. B. F. Perry, of Jonesboro, Ga., published in the Jonesboro News, white, an interesting write-up of Savannah and among the same was a boost and commendation of the Wage Earners Savings Bank. Following is part of the article: "At home again! Leaving Savannah last Friday night, passed through Jonesboro Saturday morning before many there had opened their places of business; and hence the hustling little city hardly looked like itself, as I turned over in my berth and looked as the Central sped on without even so much as a "hesitation," but as I, too, was in a hurry to reach home no complaint was offered: "The four weeks spent in Savannah were busy ones, during which time sixteen state banks were examined, and many of them were among the largest in the state. Besides these sixteen state banks, there are two national banks and a number of private banks. Hence Savannah's banking business is quite large, its volume indicating its prominence and importance along commercial, industrial and shipping lines. One of the best, most successful and prosperous banks is a Negro institution that is being conducted along conservative business lines, and is the pioneer Negro bank in Georgia. As a matter of fact, it is said that Savannah has never had a bank failure, and all now seems to be prosperous and are great helpers in the growth and development of the city and country surroundings." NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE WEEKLY LETTER By J C. Lindsey It is the great opportunities which a man has in his struggles in the great campaign of bread winning which he embraces, or, in other words, those which he makes the most of which entitle him to the things in this life worth while. It is not enough to tell others of what I might have had or what I might have done, when all opportunities for the having and doing of the things about which you are speaking have passed. The Negro Business League wishes to go on record as advising the young Negro men in this community to "do it now", and talk about it afterwards. The opportunities for buying desirable property in localities where one may have the benefits of the lights, streets, city water and other modern conveniences such as sewerage and sanitary drainage, are gradually slipping away from the young men of the race, many of whom seem to be spending much money and time upon things which count for but little, when figured in as tangible assets of the real worth of the Negroes' holdings. The ownership of a modest little home with a tax receipt in one's possession showing that the requirements of real citizenship have been met, causes the wife, the mother, daughter, sister and other departments to feel that their husband, son, brother or father is not only in a position to speak for them but can and will act for them as well. The Negro Business League in this letter does not mean to reflect adversely upon any young man who has not had an opportunity to be classed among the Negro property owners in this community, but it does mean to try to show the young Negro man what a worthless excuse he is for a man when he will allow the insignificant sum of only one dollar a year to put him in the class with the hables, and the "gal" babies at that. It is not enough to stand around and talk big talk about football, Jack Johnson and who is the best pool or checker player and all that kind of stuff to convince one that you are a man, one of the best evidences of true manhood, as we see it, is to do those things and do them right that the high class men of all the races are doing. No young Negro man has the right to walk up to a cultured and refined young woman of the race and look her in the face and ask her hand in marriage who is so ignorant of the duties of citizenship and racial manhood rights, and careless of the protection which the constitution has guaranteed to him through the weapon of his ballot, and is too stingy and mean to pay only one dollar per year for the privilege of being counted as a citizen, and voter, in his city, county or state, such a young Negro man, we repeat, should be forced to go way back and sit down. What protection can such a man offer to a young woman of the race? Has he any more rights than any other baby? These are questions upon which we want the which institution attended the funeral in a body and performed its last sad rites. The funeral took place Tuesday afternoon from the church and was largely attended, Rev. W. L. Cash conducting the services. Mrs. Heffron is survived by a husband, Mr. F. F. Heffron, two daughters Mrs. Lillian Brooks, of Cleveland, Ohio, and Miss Hazel Heffron, of this city; one son, Mr. Frank Heffron of Cleveland, Ohio; a mother, Mrs. Harriett Campbell; a sister, Mrs. R. H. Adams; two brothers, Messrs. Preston and Thurston Campbell; three sisters-in-law, and several other relatives and friends who mourn her death. than any other baby? These are questions upon which we want the young Negro man to think. The young man who cannot raise one dollar a year with which to pay his taxes, so he may become a registered voter and be counted along with other men, can he be trusted to provide for the wants of a cultured and refined young woman? If he cannot be trusted to look after the high and patriotic duties which must stand out prominently in the life of every man who is a man, and, if on the other hand, it is proven to be down right selfishness as the cause of his refusal to pay one dollar a year to become a voter, then, we are frank to say that the destiny of no woman would be safe in such hands. Again, we call upon the pulpit, clubs, heads of organizations and thoughtful ones everywhere to call to the attention of the young men of the race the error that they are making in not registering and paying their taxes so they will be eligible to vote like all other men. Clean up and Get Ready It is the admonition of the Negro Business League to all of our men in business in this community, to clean up and get ready. The holiday season will soon be on and our only hope for handling the trade lay in our ability to compete with the other fellow in every respect. The big stores in the trade center are being cleaned from top to bottom. The windows are being cleaned and artistically decorated. Their goods and wares are being tastefully display, and the question naturally arises, what does all of this mean? It simply means that a man who goes out for business usually gets it and the calamity howler who stands around and cries about "hard times" and the "war is on", will find that he, too, will get what he makes himself fit to receive. Let every Negro business man begin early to clean up, dust out and decorate; displaying his goods and wares to the very best advantage so no one will have it to say: I just trade with him because he is my color," but on the other hand lets force them to say that we trade with him because we get as good bargains from his place as we can get anywhere.

"The little crab found in the oyster," said a dealer, "is not, as supposed by two-thirds of the oyster eaters, the young of the blue crab, but is a distinct species. It is a messmate of and caterer to the wants of the oyster, being, therefore, a benefit instead of a detriment to the latter. In return for the oyster's kindness in protecting it against its enemies the little crab catches and crushes food which in its entire state could not be taken by the oyster. A singular thing in connection with them is that all found inside of the oyster are females. The male of the same variety has a hard shell."—Exchange. These Who Buy Them.

Sergeant Ballantine once examined the defendant in a civil action in England so dercely that after a quarter of an hour of the ordeal she fell down flat in the witness box and could not be further questioned. Chief Justice Erie, summing up, described Ballantine's cross examination as "an exhibition of brute force which I have never seen before in a court of justice and hope never to see again."

It took two years to put the works together. The Joy That Killed. A senator was praising the humor of a certain congressman. "His humor, however," he concluded, "is rather grim. I told him the other day about a mutual acquaintance who had died, a man he had never liked. "And his wife is dead, too," I said. "He himself died on Monday; his wife dled two days later. The papers didn't say what killed her." "She was tickled to death. I guess," said the congressman grimly." An Ornament to Paris. The Place de la Concorde in Paris is one of the most beautiful places of its kind in the world. It was not until 1763 that the grounds were first adorned by the erection of an equestrian statue of Louis XV, and Gabriel, the architect, constructed the balustrades and pavillons that are seen today. The present design, however, was made by Hittorff in 1854. In 1792 the statue of the king was removed by the populace, and the square became known as the Place de la Revolution. During the bloody period the guillotine was placed here, and Louis XVI was executed on Jan. 21, 1793, and in the following October the unfortunate Marie Antoinette shared a like fate.

Lord Woleseley maintained that Ostend would have been the scene of a desperate battle in 1815 if Napoleon's bodily strength had then proved on a par with his brain power. "The more I study the Waterloo campaign," Woleseley told Grant Duff, "the more highly do I think of Napoleon. If his physical condition and energy had been equal to the powers of his mind, I think he would have succeeded in his design and would first have beaten the Prussians and, then driven us back on Ostend. * * * In spite of his odious and contemptible character Napoleon was the greatest man of whom we know anything and quite unlike anybody else."—London Mirror.

"I had jest fell, over the bulwarks," said the able seaman, "when along comes a big shark an' grabs me by the leg." "What did ye do then, matey?" asked one of the patients. "I never disputes none with sharks," said the sailor. "I let him have the leg." Making It Large A young man was lately leaving his aunt's house after a visit when, finding it was beginning to rain, he caught up an umbrella that was anugly placed in a corner and was proceeding to open it when the old lady, who for the first time observed his movements, sprang toward him, exclaiming: "No, no; that you never shall. I've had that umbrella twenty-three years, and it has never been wet yet, and I am sure it hasn't be wetted now!"—London SOCIAL HAPPENING Mr. and Mrs. William McIver entertained informally at their new home, 1113 Gwinnett street, east, for Rev.

STATE PRISON COMMITTEE TO PROBE WHIPPING CASE Atlanta, Ga, Nov 23. The state prison commission will on Wednesday hold a hearing on the charges which have been filed against S. N. Nash, convict warden of Coweta county, who is alleged to have severely beaten Luther Shaw, a Negro convict, in the last stage of tuberculosis. The hearing will be held in the commission's chamber at the state capital. Shaw Died Shaw died at the state prison farm several days after the alleged beating, he having been taken there because he was not physically able to work on the Coweda chalangang. Prison physclans who examined Shaw after his arrival, stated that his body bore evidences of a beating. Shaw's relatives charge that the beating administered by Nash resulted in his death or at least hastened his death. When the charges were filed with a commission that body suspended Nash until the outcome of the investigation.

Webster, principal Normal Dept., Atlanta University Tuskegee, Ala., November 17,—When rumor had become established fact, and we knew that Mr. Washington was dead, there came into my mind a quotation learned in early boyhood, and which has not returned to me in years. I quote from memory: "Good Lord, when one man dies who wears a crown, How the world trembles, how the nations gape. But when that one man's victims, poor worms die (at his behest) Ye pitying souls shed not a tear from your indifferent eyes." And I found myself by some subtle law of suggestion contrasting Wilhelm of Berlin with Washington of Tuskegee. History, I surmise, will adjudge the one as the greatest destructive force of all time, and the other as one of the most constructive agencies of his generation. Resulting from the action of the one, fifteen million men in sixteen months, have been "put out of the fight," either killed or maimed or health shattered. Under the beneficent work of the other, the children of a nation with a population of one hundred million have been helped educationally, as ideas which this man practiced and preached have been shown to have educational value, not alone for "defectives, Indians and Negroes" as first stated, but for the children of all classes and conditions as well. As I journeyed Tuesday afternoon to Tuskegee to represent a "sister" institution, glad to show honor to the founder of Tuskegee Institute, I learned that a death which had come to me as a lightening-flash out of clear sky was not altogether unexpected by those nearest him, and he had been for some years a broken man. And on the train I asked one much nearer to Mr Washington than I had been, if he was not the victim of overwork; had he not been for years an overtired man? And the reply was simply "Yes." And I wondered then and still wonder if the sacrifice was necessary. Carl Hilty remarked in one of his essays, that if all people would do each hos share of the work of the world none of us would be overworked. It is because some do less or none that others are overworked. And surely, Mr. Washington never shirked his portion. Could we all have made life easier for him? Yet how necessary he was to our successes! Whoever got up a public meeting or a convention, and asked him to come and make it a success, that he failed us? Somehow he wrought for us until his human machinery gave out, nor stopped until then. Reaching the school grounds most of the people from abroad sought at once the chapel where the body lay "in state." I noted first the four students in military dress guarding their Principal. And ever and anon, the relay came in, went to the other, gave the simple military salute, and took the place. Thus all day, Monday, and Monday night, and Tuesday, and Tuesday night, and Wednesday until the chimes struck the hour of noon, was the body of Mr. Washington guarded by his students. Next I noted the floral tribute. And again and again, and again I sought the chapel to look upon and to grasp, if I could, the meaning behind this wonderful expression of affection for Mr. Washington. And I learned what I might have already known, that not only did men admire him for his ability, and esteem him because of his success, but somehow he tied men to him with the cords of love. Sad it is, that we are limited to such few means of expression of affection at such a time! There were telegrams without number. "The pile," said one, "was so high," holding his hands a foot or more apart. Letters without numbers; and flowers——As our train waited at Chewah, the train from Montgomery pulled in and it seemed as though the express car was simply filled with floral expressions. And these were but a portion of the lavish wealth of flowers that poured in to the school. One who has knowledge of such things estimated the cost; and the figures were astonishing. I will not give them. At the best it showed how poor is our richest expression at such a time. There they were upon the rostrum, and some skillful hand had arranged the multiplicity into a unity, so that all the various pieces melted into one large world-tribute. The note of that hour and of the other hours, was serious too not in a sense sad. The usual suggestions of mourning were absent. There was quiet conversation as those of us from abroad met, and shook hands and communed with one another. Our host was there at at other times. We talked most of him, and there was a solemn joy, that if a good man had done a great work, and had passed away, the passing was accomplished amid the scene of his labors, while still in the maturity of his powers, and with his harness on. I saw those flowers on Wednesday morning at a time when a few saw them. The early sun was streaming thru the stained glass of the window and fell upon the east end of the rostrum, and touched its color the flowers, and if possible gave added beauty. As the sun mounted the colors changed, and it appeared as the a rainbow was passing over the scene. And I said to a student, as later I said to others. "My boy, you will live many years, and you may know many men but you will never see such a tribute as this again. There are not a half dozen men in the country who could call it forth. This is worth of a monarch." And then I reasoned with myself, that in the case of the monarch one might suspect a certain perfunctory character; that was absent here. The services were extremely simple, and carried out the wishes of the family, and of Mr. Washington himself. At a half-after ten the procession of students, led by the school band started from the demonstration building, and the students were followed by the family, and these by the guests from abroad and these by the teachers and officers of the school. The city of Tuskegee had suspended all business during the time of the services, and I understood that the Mayor and council were present, with a goodly representation of the citizens of Tuskegee. And one Tuskegee matron, a white woman, leaned forward and spoke to one of the colored women present, of "Mr" and "Mrs." Washington, and again I wondered if in life, he in whose honor we were gathered, had conquered the South in a way that his life he had not done. The service itself, consisted of scripture selections read by the chaplain, a prayer of great power by one of Mr. Washington's special friends and teachers, the reading in part of the fifteenth chapter of First Corinthians one telegram from the president of the board of trustees, expressing the sympathy of the board in the loss the school had sustained, and stating the determination of the board to stand by the school, one brief address by one of the trustees present who spoke warmly of Mr. Washington, and who supported the statement of the telegram. With these were rendered alternately certain of the old-time songs, evidently some of Mr. Washington's favorites, among these, "My brother's taken his crown and gone home", and "Swing low sweet chariot". The last hymn, "Still, still with Thee, when purple morning breaketh," seemed peculiarly appropriate, because written by Mrs. Stowe. Then the procession reformed, and we gathered around the open grave to the east of the chapel. Here to the music of scripture selections and a brief prayer all that was mortal of Booker T. Washington was laid to rest. The taps sounded, the students on guard found their duty accomplished, and the family and friends slowly moved away while the words which Tenney-son wrote to another came to mind. It was startling on reaching home to open The Outlook and find a letter by Mr. Washington, evidently the last penned message, a plea for Haiti and the Haitians, that we be patient in our dealings with that people, even as we have been patient elsewhere. I close by quoting from a editor: "The Negroes' chief spokesman before their white fellowmen is gone. And this is the white people's loss. It is a greater injury to misunderstand than to be misunderstood, and without this spokesman the white people will be more in danger of misunderstanding the black fellowmen." While the writer feels that there are other voices that ought to be listened to, it remains true that for twenty-five years Mr. Washington has been heard as no other speaker for the colored race has been, and "it is not likely that there will soon arise a Negro leader whom the white people of the South and the North will so readily heed." SAVANNAH AS A MUSICAL CENTER By Chas. F. Waters, author of "The Dark Side of Love." Early as May 28, 1817 a number of men and women of this city and members of the Second Baptist Church organized a society known as the Old Hundred Society of Sacred Music. This beginning of vocal music, technical and otherwise, was the first of its kind by Negroes, and doubtless the first by Negroes in this country. Even Philadelphia, the great musical center, had its beginning only one year earlier. As a result of this beginning choirs were organized in every church in this city and William Waters, the father of the writer, the first Negro J. H. H. CHAS. F. WATERS to unsheath a sword in this state on parade, had the honor of organizing the first Negro choir in the city of Augusta, Ga. An explanation. In those days all of the white military organizations of this city had Negro musicians or drum corps. One Chas. Ripley of their number dled. Of course he was buried with military honors. As senior musician he, Waters, was in command, and as a commanding officer it was his privilege as well as his duty to unsheath his sword or side arms. The personel of Old Hundred was the best this city and state offered. Most, if not all, were free Negroes and house servants. The older readers know of privileges that class of Negroes had. Old Hundred did a great deal of good for this city and state and the Negroes of the South musically and otherwise. It was a crime to teach Negroes how to read and write in those days, but there was no objections to teaching him the art of music. As a pretense of teaching music many were taught to read and write and figure as well. Article Thirteen of the Society's constitution states that the time for practicing is 4 p. m. Some may be of the opinion that the Negroes of that day had a better time than we are having. Not so. Most if not all Negroes of the city were house servants, cooks, butlers, maids, etc. That class was the aristocrats or the four huped; the fact is that they had more privileges than the free Negroes, but the law was that any Negro, regardless as to who he was or to whom he belonged he had to be in his or some one's home, when the bell rang at 9 p. m. If he was caught on the streets after that hour, without a pass, he was arrested by the patrol and next morning was given 29 lashes on his or her bare back. There is where we get the song "Run, nigger, run the patrol will catch you; run nigger, run, its almost day." We can thus see that it was very necessary that they held their meetings in the afternoon. Old Hundred did great good in this day. The first pipe organ owned by Negroes in this state, possibly in this country, was secured thru Old Hundred. That organ did service in the Second Baptist Church for a number of years. It was destroyed by water. A short period after another was purchased from an organ builder in Boston, Mass., name Wm. D. S. Simmons. That organ is still in the organ loft of the Second Baptist Church. It is the best tuned organ in this city regardless of cost. The metal pipes are a combination of zinc, lead and silver and the wood pipes are well seasoned northern pine. One, not more than two hundred dollars would put it in condition and it would be a capital idea if the church would fix it and keep it as a memorial to Old Hundred. The members of that organization were personally known to the writer, Rev. William Rose, famous as a bass violin player; David Waters, who was considered one of the best tenor singers in his day; Hosea Maxwell, Frank Keton, Peter Duncan and Dr. Taylor, organist, the latter the first Negro to practice medicine in Savannah; Henry Fields, Molly Roundfield, King Solomon Thomas, the first Negro magistrate of Georgia; Tony Fields, Leroy Moore, Joseph Bluff, William Johnson, S. A. Wilson, Moses Willis, B. J. Edwards, William Waters, Meddames Jane Deveaux, Margaret L. Loyd, Ellerta Erwin, Vastasha Duncan, Mary J. Wright, Rebecca DelYouss, Henrietta Cooper. S. Duncan, Lusha Brown and Lela S. Jankins. Of that number only these survive, S. A. Wilson, B. J. Edwards, Mrs. M. J. Wright and Mrs. Janie Haynes. Old hundred existed from 1817 to 1833. Then came the Brahman Musical Club, named in honor of David Braham, the great song writer of Harragan and Heart fame. In the early seventies this club of young men, under the direction of William Rivers, was composed of the best young men of Savannah, and in great demand as entertainers, especially by the aristocratic white people. Their concerts and their musical entertainments were in deed inspiring and uplifting. The following were the members: R. E. Gibbs, Lem Burke, Gordon Battie, Ed. Carter, Potter Whitfield, Charles Waters (not the writer) Henry Benton, Ed. Carter, William Williams, James Monroe, James E. Whitman, Billie Warner John Ward, John Boiffeullette, famous song and dance artists. Of that number only five survive, Messrs John Boiffeullette, William Williams, Charlie Waters, Ed Gibbons and Lem Burke. The next club of note to be organized was the Broads Vocal Club, named after South Broad street, now Oglethorpe Avenue. These lads knew nothing of written music and were dependent on what they could learn or catch attending minstrel shows and other musical entertainments. They were famous as serenaders. While they knew nothing of written music, the harmony produced was something wonderful. The following is the membership, John F. Thompson, William Harris, A. A. Colman, John Canaon Richmond Brownfield, John Franklin, Simon Maack and Chas F. Waters. Of that number four survive, John E. Thompson, A. A. Colman, John H. Canaan and Chas F. Waters. There are a number of other musical organizations I could comment upon, but time will not permit. This article would be far from completion if I fall to mention the First Bryan Baptist Church choir, under the direction of William Rivers, and the St. Phillip A. M. E. Church choir, under the direction of Mr. Taylor. These choirs rendered an excellent brand of music. It was a treat to hear them render some of their selections. Much inspiration was received from these musical organizations. This fact was demonstrated at Atlanta University by Prof. Samuel B. Morse, William and Nathaniel Harris, David S. and London H. Waters. When we think of the advantages we have, music is less difficult now; it is simplified to the finest point, so to speak; a musical education costs less than in former days; yet we are so far behind our ancestors. To have been in former days a member of a choir or a musical organization of any kind you were compelled to have some knowledge of music. We are now accepted in choirs and similar organizations regardless of our ability. As a result more than 95 per cent know absolutely nothing about music, they are dependent upon a chorister and hence times out of ten, is dependent upon the accompanist. This state of things comes from indifference. All the care we have is that our names appear on some small musical programme. I am of the opinion that if some man or a company of men and women with influence musically and otherwise do not take this condition under consideration, Savannah, like Old Hundred, musically speaking, will be a thing of the past.

RESOLUTIONS The following resolutions were read and adopted Tuesday night Nov 30, Savannah, Ga., Nov., 30, 1915 To the Pastor, Officers and members of St Philip A. M. E. Church We, the members of St. Philip A. M. E. Church, take pleasure in offering the following resolutions: Whereas, the Right Rev. J S. Flipper, bishop of the 6th Episcopal district, imbued by the spirit of God has returned to us our former pastor, Rev. R H Singleton, D. D., as financial or business agent; and Whereas, the official board of our church has gladly requested the services of Dr Singleton for the seventh time; and Whereas, the services of Dr. Singleton for the past six years have been Whereas, with the return of Dr. Singleton we are thus favored with the services of his clever and congenial wife, Mrs. Josephine Singleton, who carries into every department of the church cheerfulness and sunshine; and Whereas, the return of the good Doctor meant great rejoicing in the Georgia conference in general and St. Philip Church in particular; be it. Resolved, that we give thanks to an allwise providence, and ask the blessings of God upon our beloved Bishop and give honor to the official board of our church. Resolved further, that we pledge our loyalty to our pastor and church as is becoming of faithful and true christians Respectfully submitted, Jesse Brinson THANKSGIVING AT The Adult committee of the Urban League known as the Sunshine and Willing Workers, wish to express their thanks to those who readily gave, and did so much to make the boys at the Juvenile Farm happy on Thanksgiving. The boys entered their dormitories singing "Stand up for Jesus." Nearly all of the members of the committee were indisposed, therefore we were unable to solicit as we did last year. Some who were asked only had a nicked on hand and felt embarrassed and didn't want their names recorded. When one does his best when caught unprepared, he can do no more. If all of the loyal Negro citizens of Savannah could have seen the SI boys marching into the mess hall with their faces all aglow with smiles as their eyes sparkling with delight as they saw the well laid table with edibles, which some have never had the pleasure of enjoying. Few of the boys said "This is the best Thanksgiving I ever had." The most important work of the day is not what has been done, but what we are doing toward the uplift of the Negro race. This question is not for one but it comes to each individual, and the question is knocking at the door our hearts. What tangible work are you doing toward the salvation of our boys and girls?

Lesson X.—Fourth Quarter, For Dec. 5, 1915. Text of the Lesson, II Chron. xxvi, 8-21—Memory Verse, 16—Golden Text, Prov. xxix, 23—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. Our studies thus far have made us acquainted with many people, good and bad, some better than others and some worse than others, but none without failure, and no rest for our souls but in the God of Israel, who often appeared as a man and in the fullness of time became man for us, God manifest in the flesh. Our study today concerns a king whose reign was the longest of any, being fifty-two years, but he became proud and self-willed and died a leaper. The study of these lives is helpful only as, by analogy or contrast, we learn to know the Living God, the God of Israel, for the whole Bible is intended to make us acquainted with God that we may love and trust and serve Him and make Him known. Let us give a few minutes to Amaziah, the son of Joash and the father of Uzziah, whose record is in chapter xxv. He did right in the sigzf of the Lord in a measure and for a time (verse 2), but his record on the whole is bad. He turned away from following the Lord, bowed down to idols and burned incense to them, and when the Lord sent a prophet to reprove him he compelled him to forbear (verses 14-16, 27). There was one incident in his life the record of which contains a saying which has often helped me and which I have often passed on to others. He hired 100,000 mighty men of valor out of Israel to help him in battle, and he paid them 100 talents of silver. A man of God was sent to him to say that he would not use these men, for the Lord was not with them and that God had power to help and to cast down. In reply to his question, "But what shall we do for the 100 talents paid to Israel?" he was told, "The Lord is able to give thee much more than this" (verses 6-9). We need to remember that God himself hath power to help, and if we make an unyme investment or lose anything we may find comfort in the fact that the Lord is able to give us much more. As to Uzziah, although his reign is the longest of any, his record is one of the shortest, for there seems to be but little to record. In some lives much is accomplished in a few years, while in others a long life is comparatively fruitless because God is not in it. It is said that he did right in the sight of the Lord, and, as long as he sought the Lord, God made him to prosper (xvii. 4. 5). God helped him against the Philistines and Arablans; he built towers in Jerusalem and in the desert, disgusted many wells (for he had much cattle) and loved husbandry. His name spread far abroad, and he was marvellously helped till he was strong (verses 7-15). His works seem to be more for his own name than the name of the Lord and nothing enduring, and all the time he seemed to be growing more self important, growing away from the Lord, seeing himself and those who praised him. What a contrast to Saul of Tarsus, who from the day that he saw the Lord Jesus on the way to Damascus could see no one else unless he might draw them to Him, for whose excellency he counted all things but dross and in whom alone he gloried. The whole story of the daily life is either self or Christ. The true life is denying self and magnifying the Lord. What an utter failure man is apart from God, for when this man became strong his heart was lifted up against God, and he transgressed against the Lord his God and even dared to burn incense in the holy place in the temple of the Lord, a thing which only the priests were authorized to do. When the priests ordered Lord out he became angry, and then the Lord smote him in his forehead with leprosy, and he himself hastened to go out. He dwelt in a separate house and died a leper (verses 16-21). In Gehazi the sin was covetousness and lying, but in this man it was pride, self conceit, self will. All consummation of sin, as in these and similar cases, points us onward to the man of sin, the greatest representative of the devil that ever was or will be, who will oppose and exalt himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, * * * showing himself that he is God (II Thess. 11, 3-12; Dan. xi, 36; Rev. xiii). But he shall be overcome and cast into the lake of fire at the coming of the Lord (Rev. xx). Many who have died lepers have gone home to heaven because redeemed with the precious blood of Christ, and we may meet Gehazi and Uzziah there, too, for the suggestion in their sins need not imply the loss of the soul, but, rather, the loss of service, as in I Cor. iii. 9-11. It is our privilege to walk with God all the way, to serve Him without turning aside and to receive a full reward at the coming of our Lord (II John viii; I John ii, 28). Isaiah seems to have begun his prophecy in the days of Uzziah, and he has much to say about loftiness being humbled, haughtiness bowed down and the Lord alone exalted. When I think of Uzziah I feel led to pray that I may never be strong except in the Lord and always remember that His strength is made perfect in weakness. I also think of the record of Uzziah's death in Isa. vi. 1, and hear the prophet say what amounts to this, "I saw a king that never dies." Lesson XI.—Fourth Quarter, For Dec. 12, 1915. Text of the Lesson, Hos. xi, 1-11. Memory Verses, 8, 9-Golden Text, Hos. xi, 4-Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. Again we are reminded that the two great topics of the Bible are the love of God and the sinfulness of man. His love to Israel as a people is everywhere set forth, and briefly summarized in the first verse of our lesson. In Ex. iv. 22, He said, "Israel is my son, my firstborn." In Deut. vil, 6-8, He said, "The Lord thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto Himself above all people," and the only reason given is "Because the Lord loved you." Of course He expected them to love Him in return (Deut. vi, 4, 5), and it was their failure to do so, and their loving idols in His stead that grieved Him. In Isaiah, who was contemporary with Hosea (Isa. 1, 1, Hos. 1, 1). He says: "What could have been done more to my vineyard that I have not done in it? Wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?" (Isa. v, 4). In our lesson chapter He not only says, "I loved him," but He also says, "I taught Ephraim to go; I healed them; I drew them with cords of a man with bands of love; I laid meat unto them" (verses 1-4). He ever reminded them that He brought them out of the land of Egypt and that He alone was their Saviour (xiii, 4; Isa. xiii, 3, 11); but he had to say, "My people are bent to backsliding from me, O Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself" (verse 7; chapter xiii, 9). The sin was all theirs. His was the unchanging love. His yearning for them and desire to win them back to Him is seen in such words as these, "How shall I give thee up. Ephraim? How shall I deliver thee, Israel?" "O Israel, return unto the Lord thy God, * * * I will heal their backsliding; I will love them freely" (verse 8; chapter xiv, 1, 4). Hear Him in Ps. xxxi, 10-16, as He again reminds them that He brought them out of Egypt: "My people would not hearken to my voice, and Israel would none of me. Oh, that my people had hearkened unto me and Israel had walked in my wars." It was the same cry when He was here in humiliation. "How often would I, and ye would not." "He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not. He came unto His own, and His own received Him not" (Matt. xxill, 37; John i, 10. 11). What an almost unbelievable record it is that such a God of love should receive such treatment from those whom He so lovingly and patiently seeks to win to Himself that He may bless them and bestow upon them His fullness! Those who have this world's wealth to bestow have no difficulty in finding willing recipients, but the great God, the Creator of heaven and earth, who giveth to all life and breath and all things, in whom we live and move and have our being, can scence get a hearing and receives only gratitude from those for whom He does so much. Why does He bear with such a people and not blot us from off the earth, as He did in the days of Noah? Because He is God and not man, and not willing that any should perish (verse 9; II Pet. iii, 9). He so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that we might not perish. The Son of God loved me and gave Himself for me. He bore my sins in His own body on the cross that I might be delivered from the wrath to come John iii, 16; Gal. ii, 20; I Pet. ii, 24; I Thess. i, 10). What kind of a hard, ungrateful heart must I have if such love does not constrain me to live no longer unto myself, but unto Him who so loved me? Whether in Israel or in believers now, the heart is always the same, deceitful and desperately wicked. But He is ever ready to receive and forgive all who truly turn to Him, and when the backslider comes to himself and returns to his Father, even though in rags and filth, there is a hearty welcome for him, with no upbraiding. Neither of those sons in Luke XV knew their father, neither the one that spent all on himself nor the one who remained at home and thought that he did his duty. The wanderer knew him better after his loving welcome home. The dumb brutes know their masters better than God's people know Him (Isa. 1. 2, 3). We vainly think to please Him by sacrifice and offering, but we cannot until we have first allowed Him to have mercy upon us (Hos. vi, 6; Matt. 1x, 13). Our own doings beset us about and keep us from turning to God (Hos. v. 4; vil. 2). But when we cease from our own doings, having seen the folly of them, and turn helplessly to Him, then He abundantly pardons and gives Himself wholly to us, and such love constrains us to wait on Him. The first verse of our lesson had a fulfillment in the Son of God, the True Israel, the Son of Mary (Matt. 11, 15), and in Him alone of all the sons of men did the Father find that which He desired. He never pleased Himself nor sought His own will nor in any way, in thought, word or deed, displeased His Father, but could say truthfully, "I do always those things that please Him," "I delight to do Thy will, O my" God" (John vii. 29; Ps. xl. 8). His resurrection from the dead and His return from heaven in glory are seen in Hos. vi. 1-3, including the resurrection of all His redeemed. YOUNG BRO,S. 507 WEST BROAD STREET Is the Home of Sweets.

C., Dec. 2—At a largely attended meeting Tuesday night of last week of the local branch of the Natinola Negro Business League, a committee was appointed to draft appropriate resolutions expressive of the sorrow of the organization over the death of Dr. Booker T. Washington. Following a general discussion as to a fitting means of perpetuating the memory of the famous educator, a recommendation was unanimously adopted, to be laid before the executive committee of the National Negro Business League, urging the setting apart of a "National Booker T. Washington Day", on which occasion each year the colored people all over the land would emphasize the constructive work done by the deceased. A second recommendation was ordered to be sent to the executive committee of the parent body, to the effect that "it is the sense of the local league that a suitable monument should be erected to the memory of Booker T. Washington; that such a monument should be fostered by the National Negro Business League, under the sanction of the family and the deceased leader and the trustees of Tuskegee Institute; and, that the local league pledge its heartiest cooperation with the National League in a movement looking toward this end." New Protean Act and Comedy Drama Word comes from New York City that the well known team of Fiddler and Shellon, both of Indianapolis, Ind., will venture into the realm of the semi-lagitimate. They will soon produce at the Metropolitan house their new protean sketch and three-act comedy drama, entitled "The Question of Race, or the Blood Test," dramatized from a book of similar name. The play is to be presented by an all-star cast and with adequate scenic effects. The production is to be entirely original, containing nowhere a suggestion of anything heretofore attempted by our people. Messrs Harry Fiddler and Byron Shelton, who constitute this unique and thorough team, are wide-awake young men and they are of the opinion that now is the time for Negroes to shake offi hackneyed methods and self-worn ideas and Brunch out into a more pretentious field. Hence this drama. Cherokee Fighting to Recover Land Cherokee Signing to Recover Land The Cherokee nation of Indians, claiming that an immense allotment of land to Negroes after the Civil war was illegit, have begun another fight to recover the same. According to a statement made by a Mrs. Susan Sanders, of Saltwell, Skin, who has just come here from her home to represent the Cherokee people, Congress will be once more asked to revive the awarding to Negroes of thousands of acres formerly owned by the Cherokee Indians in northern Oklahoma. Reciting the history of the case, Mrs. Sanders points out that the Cherokees, at the close of the Civil war, owned 76,000 acres of land in Oklahoma, that the land was patented to his ancestors in 1825 and that the Negro should not have been given a portion. In the case of the Creek nation, with whom the Negroes intermarried, the Cherokee point out, the situation is a far different one, but in the Cherokee nation there has never been an intermarriage. In fact, says Mrs. Sanders, all tribal laws prohibit intermarriage. Mrs. Sanders, who is a three-quarter Cherokee (the other quarter not stated), was chosen at a meeting of the tribal council held at Stillwell recently, to represent the nation in the opening chapters of the campaign that is to be made for the recovery of the land in question. Able legal talent is to be engaged by the Cherokees, and it is likely that the Negroes will meet the issue with equal skill in handling the law. Some interesting history will doubtless be disclosed, and the relations of the red and black peoples of the border will be seen in a new light. Prof George J. Dawson, the poet-barber, is building up a fine line of customers at the Y. M. C. A. tonsorial parlor, 12th street, between S and T streets. The colored citizens seem to be heartily in favor of "reasonable preparedness," in the matter of military upbuilding." The defense of the nation is not a political issue—it is one of civic far-sightedness. The feeling is that the best way to preserve the Mr. Frank A. Byrom, of Chicago, ranking member of the."Third House" has returned to the city, preparatory to resuming his duties in connection with the committee on naval affairs of the House of Representatives. Mr. Byron is vice-president of the famous Mu-So-Lit- Club and is active in all of the progressive movements in the nation's capital. Major John Lynch, after a stay here of several weeks, has returned to Chicago. A large delegations of Washingtonians attended the football game between Hampton and Howard University at Hampton on Thanksgiving day. The party went down on the steamer "St. John," specially chartered for the occasion. Miss Estelle V. Bedgeman has returned from a lengthy sojourn on her farm near Mannassas, Va., and is making her home for the winter with Miss Edna T. Gordon. Former Register of the Treasury J. S. Naper will be in the city in a few days on business. The news has been received here that the next meeting of the National Negro Business League will be held in Kansas City, Mo. The friends of Mrs. Daisy W. Henon tendered her a magnificent birthday reception Monday evening at St. Luke's hall. Mr. R. W. Thompson was toastmaster.

THE ABUSE OF THE HAIR THE ABUSE OF THE HAIR That our readers will understand how delicate the hair is, we will explain. Human hair is tubular, that is, the heir on the head is like thousands of little slender pipes. There is a hole just as in a pipe, through each hair. The sides or walls are held together by a very delicate fibre; the inside is filled with an oily substance, just like your veins are with blood. The use of hot irons and waxy materials, first takes the life out of the hair, then the wax buries or seals it, in consequence, it breaks. The proper way to care beautify, lengthen and make your hair glossy and wavy as it should be, is with Nature's Remedy, No-Mor-Curl. This is scientific, made by scientific men after years of research.

If there is one rule above another which I wish to impress on those who are starting out in life, it is this—take pains. Whatever you do, do thoroughly. Whatever you begin, finish. It may not seem worth your while at the moment to be so very painstaking and exact. In after years you find it was worth your while, that it has paid you by giving you success in life, by giving you the trust and respect of others.—Charles Kingsley.
