Hampton Holds Closing Exercises
159 RECEIVE DIPLOMAS AND CERTIFICATES
Corner Stoen Layed for $15,000 Ogden Auditorium
Hampton, Va., "The legacy of Hampton is the new vision, hope, faith, and power which it gives those who come in touch with it," said Dr. W. Russell Bowle, rector of St. Paul's church, Richmond, who spoke to the Hampton Institute graduating class on "The Glory of Service," at the closing session of the school's forty-eighth anniversary.
Dr. Hollis B. Frissell presented to the Hampton board of trustees 69 candidates for certificates and 90 candidates for diplomas. He said that this was one of the largest classes in the history of the school and had a record of faithfulness in work and loyalty to the Institution, and its members gave excellent promise of great service to their communities.
Mrs. Henry Villard of New York, daughter of William Lloyd Garrison, spoke to the students on the heavy responsibility resting upon them. Rev. Charles D. Park, minister of the First Church of Boston, said that he was impressed at Hampton with the quality of the character which is developed in the students through discipline. Hon. Job D. Hedges of New York, who has spoke on behalf of Hampton in a number of large cities and was referred to by Dr. Frissell us "a real and devoted friend" gave the students some excellent advice on right living. "The final test of manhood and womanhood," he said, "is the squaring of results with opportunities. The greatest thing on earth is to do the smallest best."
Robt. C. Ogiden Auditorium
Hon. Henry C. Stuart, governor of Virginia, presided at the exercises which were held in connection with the laying the corner-stone of "The Robert C. Ogden Auditorium"—a $150,000 building which will accommodate 2,500 people—a national tribute to America's "Unofficial State-man." Already $5,000 have been raised through popular subscription by a national committee, of which ex-President Taft is the chairman.
Tributes to the constructive genius and personality of Robert Curtis Orden were paid by Governor Stuart; Hollis R. Fisell, principal of Hampton Institute since 1893; Edwin A. Alderman, president of the University of Virginia; Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute and successor to Dr. Booker T. Washington; P. P. Claxton, U. S.

The songs, recitations and marching elicited the admiration and applause of the audience, especially so their appearance at the final as little fairies. The larger girls also came in for their share of the applause in the presentation of the May pole. Miss Lucie B. Spencer and Miss Rosa Mae Williams, teachers of the kindergarten, have shown their ability and untiring efforts in the training and development of the little ones.

Summer Work For2,000Students
URBAN LEAGUE HAS ATTRACTIVE OFFER FOR COLLEGE BOYS
Needed at Tobacco Factory in Conneticut—Apply at Tribune for Information.
A rather attractive offer is being made Negro college students throughout the country by the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes. The league is endeavoring to secure 2,000 students for work at the Griffin Newberger Tobacco Company, near Hartford, Conn. The work will consume about eight weeks and the pay is very attractive. The Griffin factory is one of the largest of the klud in New England and the farm covers an area of 38,000 acres. The plan of the factory is to use all, or as many as possible, Negro employees in certain departments this harvesting season. The managers of the plant are desirous of getting dependable and efficient labor, therefore the offer of the company to the Urban League to employ as many Negro school youth as possible.
The company will pay roundtrip transportation from Norfolk to Hartford and the fare one way from here to Norfolk. This will be done, of course, if the boys remain until the work at the factory is finished. It was stated this morning by Mr. J. H. Collins, Jr., of New York, who is here in the interest of securing the help, that the boys by strict application to the work should be able to clear at least eighty-five dollars during the eight weeks' work.
The living conditions surrounding the factory are excellent and everything possible is done for the convenience of the employees.
Information concerning the work can be had at The Tribune office.
BEACH INSTITUTE
CLOSED WEDNESDAY
The closing exercise of the Beach institute were held Wednesday night at the Second Baptist church. The packed audience enjoyed very much the excellent program rendered. On last Sunday the baccalaureate sermon was preached in the school's chapel by the Rev. T. J. Goodall, of the First African Baptist Church, and was listened to by a very large crowd. The graduates were Carrie Alston, Miriam Anderson, Gustina Carse, Gladys Porter, Lenita Smith, Catherine Stewart, Ellen Stoney and Meta Williams.
SOUTH CAROLINA STATE
DEFEATS GEORGIA STATE
Baseball fans of the city had a treat last Thursday and Friday afternoons when the Ga. State College crossed hats with the South Carolina State College. The "Overhomers" proved too strong for their opponents and took the games by the scores of 13-4 and 12-10, respectively. Play was generally loose with the Ga. State the chief offenders. Their defeat can be traced directly to this and the weak pitching. Thursday, South Carolina played a game behind the sterling_pitching of Lattimore that would have been a credit to any team and was a glowing testimonial to Prof. Stacey's training. Ga. State showed lack of training but had plenty of enthusiasm, particularly when Umpire Jones called the last man out in Friday's game.
WILL ADHERE TO POLICIES OF PREDECESSOR
10,000 People Present
Asks that Spirit of Co-operation of All School Forces be Maintained
Tuskegee, Ala., May 22—Ten thousand persons from all sections of the United States were present today at the inauguration of Robert R. Moton as principal of Tuskegee Institute to succeed the late Booker T. Washington. The inaugural exercises were preceded by a procession, including in the line of march Southern and Northern tru-tees. The procession was more than a mile long.
Hollis Burke Prissell, principal of Hampton Institute, made the first formal address, while H. T. Kealing, president of Western University, Quinduro, Kan., spoke on behalf of Negro institutions of learning. The president-elect was greeted with enthusiastic aplause when he rose to speak. He pledged himself to carry out the policies inaugurated by Booker T. Washington.
Adhere to Policy
In his installation address Maj. Maj. Motur indicated that he would endeavor to follow out the policies of his predecessor, Dr. Washington.
"While the outlook was never more hopeful, the Negro problem is not yet solved," said Major Motur. "While there is great encouragement in the fact that 70 per cent, of the Negro population can read and write it is not safe to assume that 70 per cent, of the Negroes are really and truly educated. Our progress in this country has been wonderful and we have every reason for rejoicing, but shiftsness, dis-ease, inefficiency and crime are entirely too prevalent among our people. Color and conduct still count in this question but let us remember that conduct counts more than color."
Maj. Moton reminded his hearers that in his last talk from the same platform Dr. Washington spoke on the importance and value of teamwork. "If teamwork was necessary in this school under the leadership of Dr. Washington," he continued, "how much more imperative it is now that we have not the help and inspiration of his words and presence."
Spirit of Co-operation
"If we are to be true to the great and sacred trust," he continued, "If we are to carry out the alms and purpose of Booker T. Washington, we must each cherish and maintain the spirit which has always permeated the life and work of this school—the spirit of self-forgetfulness—the spirit of sacrifice and service—the Tu-kegee spirit—the spirit of co-operation and consolation. It is only in this spirit that the Tu-kegee Normal and Industrial Institute can continue to render services to the Negro, the state and the nation."
Maj. Moton was selected to succeed Dr. Washington by a unanimous vote of a special committee of the board of trustees of the institute in New York on Dec. 20 last. In making the choice the committee referred to him as "another forceful personality." He was born in Amella county, Virginia, in 1807 and spent his early years on the Vaughan plantation in Prince Edward county. His mother was cook at the big house and his father led the hands on the plantation. He was sent to Hampton Institute in 1885, graduating five years later. He remained as drill master and assistant commandant of cadets. In 1890 he became commandant, a position which he held until his election as principal

A.M.E. Conference Comes to Close
DISHOPS TO RETIRE AT THE AGE OF 73 YEARS
Rev. W. W. Beckett and Rev. L. N.
Boss Elected Bishops.
Philadelphia, Pa. May 24.—The Centennial General Conference of the A.M. E. Church, which met in Philadelphia on May 3, completed its work and adjourned yesterday. The conference was a remarkable one, in that it celebrated the 100th year of the organization of this great religious body. Every session was filled with references to this historic occasion. Excursions were made to the tomb of Richard Allen, the founder of the denomination and to Old St. George M. E. Church, from which Allen and his few followers were driven by religious persecution in 1787. Among the important things done at this conference was the recall of Bishop W. H. Heard from West Africa and Bishop J. Albert Johnson from South Africa and the repeal of the law which sent them there, making it impossible to ever again elect a bishop for any foreign field in the A.M. E. Church. Two bishops were elected: Bishop W. H. Beckett of Columbia, S.C., and Bishop I. N. Ross of Baltimore, Md.
An age limit of 73 years was also fixed for the active service of a bishop, to begin with the general conference of 1920.
The following officers were elected: J. I. Lowe, business manager Book Concern; R. R. Wright, editor Christian Recorder; J. W. Rankins, missionary secretary; Jno R. Hawkins, financial secretary; A. S. Jackson, educational secretary; R. C. Ransom, editor A. M. E. Review; Ira T. Bryant, secretary Sunday school Union; G. W. Allen, editor Southern Christian Recorder; B. F. Watson, secretary church extension; J. C. Caldwell, secretary Allen Christian Endearer League; J. Frank McDonald, editor Western Christian Recorder. Three special sermons were preached. The Quadrendial sermon by Bishop H. Blanton Parks; the Centennial and ordination sermons by Bishop B. F. Leen, the senior bishop of the church.
The following assignments of the bishops were made on Monday right, the 2nd, by the Episcopal Committee for the next four years: First district, Bishop Evans Tyree; second district, J. Albert Johnson; third district, C. T. Shaffer; fourth district, J. L. Coppin; fifth district, H. B. Parks; sixth district, J. S. Flipper; seventh district, Wm. D. Chappell; eighth district, Wm. H. Heard; ninth district, B. F. Lee; tenth district, Joshua H. Jones; eleventh district, J. M. Conner; thirteenth district, (West Africa) I. N. Rossi; fourteenth district, (South Africa) W. W. Becket; fifteenth district (Canada, the Islands) C. S. Smith.
PEKIN TO PRESENT STRONG
BILL NEXT WEEK
The attractions of the Pekin theatre next week will be unusually strong. Heading the bill will be Miss Eleanor Wilson, one of the most pleasing and attractive performers heard here for some time. Morton and Allen, that unique and clay-sy team which has scored a signal success, for the past two weeks, has been retained for the bill and with Parker and Parker will give the patrons of this popular playhouse a splendid card. Clifford Ross, the inimical comedian, will also add to the humorous side of the week's bill Higgins and Higgins, fresh from trilumps in the west, will be the new members on the card.
The orchestra has been increased by the addition of the widely known clarinet player, William "Kill" Phillips, who is the composer of the popular "Florida Blues", is one of the best Negro clarinet players in the country and his addition to the orchestra will be greatly appreciated by the Pekin patrons.
A new and novel feature of the Pekin lobby is the automatic photographic machine which was installed this week. Of course Manager Stiles isn't going into the picture business but he thought it would be an excellent idea for his patrons' to be able to sit before this latest fat in picture machines and take their pictures by dropping a dime in the slot. About a hundred persons have already sat before the machine and as yet the reflective mirrors have not been injured.
BISHOP RETIRED—ANOTHER ELECTED
Bishop L. B. Scott of the M. E. Church, who had the diocese in West Africa, by request, was retired by the general conference in session at Saratoga. In his stead the Rev. Dr. A. P. Camphor, of Birmingham, Ala., a graduate of Columbia and Union Theological seminary, New York and Gammon Theological Seminary, Atlanta, was elected bishop of west Africa. He received 706 votes of 763 ballots cast.
EUREKAS TO PLAY IN CHARLESTON, S. C. NEXT WEEK
Manager Edward Smalls leaves Sunday with the Eureka baseball team for Charleston, S. C., where he will play the well-known Pledmont team Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The Eurekaas who have been strengthened by several players from other local teams, expect to take at least two of the games from the fast "overbomers." The team returns to play the Urban League June 2nd and the Ga. State College the following day.

HARDSTEW VISITS MANY PLACES
Chattanooga, Tenn.—There are many agencies at work in this country for the betterment of mankind, and believe me, when I tell you that our people are at work, as well as other people. I have found this to be true from time to time as I have tried to get up and down in the world, and from the many things I have seen since I wrote you last I am inclined to believe that there is something in this world worth living for, something that should make us all happy.
Man is getting just a little more out of life than bread and water, and meat and a place to stay, clothing to wear. Then I find that man is to do just a little more than make a living, but his mission in the world is to make a life at the same time he is making a living, and then he is of some benefit to his fellow being. I am sure it would be out of the question for you to try to guess where I have been since I wrote you last and the many people I have met and sights I have seen. Now don't you try to guess, and if you should find just how little you know and what it would mean if you should leave this world.
Of course I have been to Philadelphia to see something about the general conference of the African Methodist Church. They were just up to the standard, and then from there I went to the headquarters of the various delegates, and had the pleasure of seeing them in all their glory. They were serving lemonade and soda pop, and even some of them had a little soup. Men were getting their fences fixed up, and striving, to be elected bishops. There is Georgia, who is indeed a tricky state. This state could control the whole of the general conference if the men could stick, but they were not able to land their man. I am not going to abuse Georgia, but believe that it will come again. There are so many strong men, so many leaders in the A. M. E. church in the state until none are willing to follow. They must lead because they were born to lead, and if they can't lead the people, each man will be his own leader.
From Philadelphia, I went to New York, and when I looked around there a time or two I decided it was too big for men and left. Standing in a crowd on the street, I felt something and behold a man had his hand in my pocket. I looked at him and said "Don't take it all." He took his hand out of my pocket and got away before I could get a police. I was going to have him locked up.
Next I was walking down the street and a man pulled something out of his pocket and at the same time a pocket book fell, and a man grabbed it up, and told me not to say anything and he would make it real good. Well, he opened the pocketbook and said it contained a hundred dollar bills and wanted to divide it with me. I was not looking for that kind of money. You see he wanted me to give him fifty dollars and take the home-made hundred and he would be in. I thanked him and told him I worked that trick before he was born. I got out of New York in a hurry, and back to Philadelphia, then to Baltimore, where I stopped in a real hotel of our people and then on down the Chesapeake Bay, to Norfolk, where I met the Virginia Baptist state convention, presided over by Rev. A. A. Galvin, and there were some strong men on hand.
Rev. R. H. Boyd, secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board, and Dr. E. C. Morris, president of the National Baptist Convention, and Rev. W. H. Jernagin, and Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, and Rev. W. H. Moses, and Rev. J. C. Jackson of Philadelphia, Pa., one of the editors, and then so many others. Drs. Morris and Boyd, and Jernagin and Miss Burroughs had a conference, trying to harmonize things in time for the convention. Of course they did not get together, hence the two conventions will go on. The National Baptist convention will go to Savannah, just where it selected, while the other—well I will not say, but I think it is Kansas City. Dr. W. H. Moses has left the Boyd

camp and is with Dr. Morris and his men. Dr. Moses is now making some speeches. I think he was born to speak and to speak only. He is a man who can stir things, and make people think.
Savannah will be ready to entertain the big crowd, and believe me they are going to that one town. They will go in large numbers. Rev. T. J. Goodall and Rev. W. Bolivar Davis and others are all ready for what may come to them. God bless them and their efforts for good. I am going to see it all Virginia is divided on the question, and I am not going to discuss it now. From Virginia I jumped to Knoxville, then to Atlanta, Ga. In Atlanta, I got there in time to see the closing of the Bryant Preparatory Institute, founded by Mrs. S. C. J. Bryant, one of the leading Baptist women of the state, and an important person in the affairs of the National Baptist Convention. This school is filling an important place in Atlanta. It is a real practical school, preparing people for practical work. In this they are meeting with all kinds of success. Some of the finest needle work I have ever seen was there. It was the work of the students. She keeps things moving. The school deserves to live, and I hope the good people will put more life into it in the future.
Mrs. Bryant is a woman who must keep busy all the time and if not she would soon die. It has been so long since she was still. Right by her side is her husband, and he is one of the leading pastors of the country. He is some preacher. He is making things happen. He is getting things in line for the big change.
I am sure you will remember Rev. P. James Bryant, D. D., because he is a pastor from the word go. He is pastor of the Wheat Street Baptist church, and in his work he is making friends because he is teaching men and women how to live. He is a leader in the National Baptist convention and in the affairs of his race. No man is more interested in the affairs of the nation. This is a team working together, Rev. and Mrs. Bryant, and by their side is Charles Haynes, who will go to New York in a few days, getting ready to take up his theological study next fall.
I think I have said enough for this time. Look out for me in a few days. C. J. Hard-tew.

Saturday May 27th, 1916
The aggressiveness of the women to secure the ballot is to be admired. A number of states have already given this right, and it is only a question of a few years before this right will become nation wide.
Col. Roosevelt's speech in Detroit has attracted to him great attention and brought him forward as a great possibility of being the Republican nominee for the presidency. Added to this may be noted the great ovation paid him on his visit to Washington during the week. His magnetism is attracting the people of the country and it will not be a great wonder if he does not stampere the convention, even on the first ballot.
Never before in the recollection of the citizens of this city has a more deserving effort been made by the social organizations here to give the general public whole-one athletic entertainment than has been provided for the past month by the Negro Social Club baseball league. Their entertainment has been highly enjoyed and appreciated by both men and women and the attendance at the two-times-a-week games has been encouraging. The league is an experiment which deserves to succeed and the management appreciates greatly the loyalty of the fans, both men and women, who have lent their support to this initial effort at organized baseball among Negroes. The article of ball played by the league teams has been very creditable and the department of the players in general very commendable. The league, however, is struggling for existence and in order that it may go thru to September, a few changes in the conduct of affairs has been found necessary. Foremost among these is the decision of the management to discontinue free entrance to ladies. The league regrets the necessity of charging admission for ladies, but in order that the finances of the organization may be placed on a sound and more paying basis, such was found necessary. There is no doubt but that the ladies appreciate the courtesies which have been shown them by the league management and that they will continue their support of the worthy and highly interesting games included in by the various teams of the league.
The attempt of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes to secure 2,000 Negro school boys for eight weeks' profitable employment, should appeal not only to the hundreds of Negro school boys who are in search of work during the summer months but to the parents and guardians of these boys. The places offered by the Urban League have been fully investigated and it has been found that the conditions under which the boys who accept these places will work are excellent and that every possible safe guard is to be thrown around the hundreds of youthful employees who go up to this great thirty-eight thou- and aere Connecticut farm. The wages which the boys are to receive are attractive and by remaining on the job during the eight weeks' required for the completion of the work and a strict application to the tasks set before them, the boys can earn a sufficient amount in the two month to enable them to return in fairly good financial condition to their respective schools in the fall of the year. Aside from the financial consideration which the boys will receive, may be added the opportunity which will be given to many of them of living for the first time in a different atmosphere, thereby broadening their view of things in general. The opportunity seems to us a splendid one and we advise that the boys take advantage of it. The conditions under which they are to work are splendid, the sanitary arrangement of the quarters in which they are to sleep is fine and the general environment in which they are to live for the two months during which the work is to be done is said to be beyond criticism.

NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE WEEKLY LETTER
By J. C. Lindsay
The business man who has a surplus of energy so that he does not become tired, vexed or despondent when standing face to face with complexed business problems, is the man whom business firms and corporations need and must have in their concerns to build and keep them up to that high standard, which is so essential to their permanency, gain and profit sharing. This type of business man, at times, works so hard on problems which confront him in his business until it is not an unusual thing for him to work for five, six and seven hours on a single stretch without sleeping, eating or even speaking a word to any one. When the mind is in an attitude of grappling with knotty and complexed problems which are bound to come into every business which is worthy of its name, the possessor of such a mind wishes to be alone, that he may give this self-renewing, animated electrifying human dynamo an opportunity to do its best work. Every business man should study well the needs of his businsses. There are new conditions, indeed, new problems arising in one's business from time to time, which must be met in the spirit of the times. Because some man kept his doors open and conducted some kind of a small affair which he and possibly others called a business twenty-five or thirty years ago, without a telephone, without advertising what he had for sale in the newspapers, without a safe in which to keep his insurance papers, invoices and other important papers, without a cash register to enable him to be in closer touch with the cash which might daily pass over his counter, without porters and delivery boys to make quick delivery to those who might demand such service, is no sane argument for the twentieth century Negro business man to offer in his defense as an excuse for the failure to have these twentieth century essentials. These labor saving devices and business getting as well as business handling essentials., are found only in those business places where the promoters of such concerns have given much time and thought to the real needs and proper development of their business. The thinker has always set the pace for the plodder, who is able only to do those things which are pointed out to him. The plodder works mechanically, he performs his duties like the clock which runs after being wound up; keeping the correct time but doesn't know what it is doing. We fear that there are those among us engaged in business who are simply knocking along, but who have but little knowledge as to where they are going. This aimlessness in business among us will have to be stopped, if we are to hold our own and, in the mean time, compete with the other fellow who is planning systematically each day's work and then working his plans with precision. The successful man in business is he who is so dead sure of reaching his goal that nothing and nobody can discourage him; and whenever things seem to go wrong with him and his, he calmly forges ahead with greater strength and determination than ever before. Men like the one described above, are they who furnish inspiration for the ambitious young men who are coming in great numbers from our high schools and colleges each and every year. These men have shown their faith in themselves and in the race by what they have really done. These men in the face of great obstacles and discouragement, have built banks, colleges, insurance companies, mercantile concerns, influential newspapers and magazines, land companies and great fraternal organizations, and beside all of these, have bought homes and educated their children, and given to the race in the various professions, prepared preachers, musicians, teachers, missionaries, lawyers, statesmen, doctors, as well as
thinkers and doers in every other vocation of life. These things are not enumerated in this weekly business letter in a boastful way as, perhaps, some may suppose, but they are simply mentioned with the hope and prayer that the young man who may chance to glance over them may stop for a moment and think; and decide if the fathers have accomplished all of these things in five short decades under such handicaps and surroundings in which they were placed, that he, too, will resolve to play his part well, using to the very best advantage both his time and talent for the furthering of racial development along all lines. In a larger measure, Negro business men in this community are like those of every other place. They have no quarrel with the young men who have not seen fit to train themselves to think seriously upon matters of importance, but on the other hand, are ready and willing at all times to put into practice any and all of their helpful thoughts and ideas which the race stands so much in need of. The young men of the race must think and think helpfully. The race which thinks seriously and helpfully is an independent race. The race which thinks and deals in trivial things is the race which will be lightly regarded. Germany has been thinking, aiming and planning for more than three decades to make the other civilized nations of the world sit up and take notice and how well she has succeeded in the past eighteen months is familiar history to any second grade school boy. Let the young Negro man aim at something, let him make himself worthy of help from his friends and let him concentrate all of his power of mind upon some business proposition and say, with God to help, I must succeed; but let him always keep in mind that the good Lord only helps that man who first tries to help himself. Your next meeting will be at the league's headquarters. Wednesday evening, June 7. Come early and bring a friend.
FOREST CITY TENNIS CLUB
The Forest City Tennis Club will meet Friday 8:30 p. m. June 2nd, at the home of H. S. Chauney, $20 West 43rd street. A full attendance is requested as officers for the co-ing year will be elected, and plans submitted to the club regarding the mid-summer inter-club tournament. WILLIAMS, KNOCKS
In a scheduled 15 round boxing contest at the Pekin Theatre on last Tuesday night, Lou Williams, a Savannah fighter, knocked out Bert Green of Washington, D.C., in the seventh round of the bout. The punch which floored Green was delivered over the heart. This is Williams' second victory over the Washington boy in the past two weeks. Both fighters weighed in at 145 pounds. Williams is a good fighter and has won over every boy he has met here. Green has won a number of admirers by his gameness and gentlemanly disposition. Three preliminaries and a battle royal made up the other part of the program.
ENTERTAINS FOR MRS. DENT
Mrs. J. R. Davis; 511 East Anderson,
entertained Tuesday with a card party
in honor of Mrs. Eleanor Dent of
Brunswick. The affair was delightful,
and about-five tables were conducted.
The prizes were won by first,
Mrs. John Hatherham; second, Mrs.
C. C. Middleton and third, Miss Mildred
Jones.
MEMORIAL
In sad but loving memory of our loved one, Mrs. Elizabeth R. Roberts, who departed this life May 22, 1912.
Sister tho from younder sky.
Cometh neither voice nor cry;
Yet we know for thee to-day.
Every pain has passed away.
Not for thee shall tears be given.
Child of God and heir of heaven;
For He gave thee sweet release.
Thine the christian's death of peace.
Daughter in that solemn trust.
We commend thee dust to dust;
In that faith we wait, till risen.
Thou shall meet us all in heaven.
While we weep as Jesus wept.
Thou shall sleep as Jesus slept;
With thy Saviour thou shall rest.
Crowned and glorified and blest.
William Robinson, Father BenJ. F. Robinson, Brother Claudia C Allen, Sister Susie Young, Cousin. LADIES' BASEBALL GAMES
For the past four games of ball played by the Negro Social Club League President J. H. Butler together with the executive board, allowed the ladies an opportunity of witnessing the games free. This was well appreciated and seemingly enjoyed by them. The management of the league feeling that they have shown their loyalty to the ladies appeals to them for their continued patronage, since it has been necessary to place an admission fee. The games played by the teams are all exciting and the brand

of ball playing that is put up is worth witnessing. There is no reason why the games should not be well patronized, for there is no finer outdoor sport than baseball. Beginning with Monday's game which will be played between the Piney Wood and the Savannah Home Boys, the price of admission for ladies will be 10 cents. The Home Boys having strengthened their team considerably, the outlook is that a hard and exciting game will be played. Go out to the park and help make the league a success.

NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITOL
By R. W. Thompson
The Church of Our Redeemer (Lutheran), of which Rev. D. L. Wisenman pastor, was crowded Monday evening with representative citizens who turned out to honor the memory of Dr. Booker T. Washington. The principal address was delivered by Prof. Kelley Miller, dean of college of arts and science, Howard University, and the speaker gave a graphic picture of the helpful labors of the deceased educator for the uplift of his people and made a stirring appeal to the race to insure the maintenance of Dr. Washington's life work at Tukegee Institute by giving liberally to the endowment fund the trustees are now seeking to raise for its benefit. A generous donation was taken up. Mr. Henry Lassiter, chairman of the local committee on the memorial fund, spoke briefly and announced that meetings of a similar nature would be held during the next few weeks at other churches throughout the district.
Colored Democrats to Confer
Mr. James N. H. Howard, of Harrisburg, Pa., deputy United States Marshal for the District of Columbia, left Tuesday for Indianapolis, Ind., to preside over a conference of the executive committee of the National Negro Democratic League. As Bishop Alexander Walters, the elective head of the organization is kept busy with church affairs, the leadership has devolved upon Mr. Howard—and right royally is he filling the arduous position.
It is Mr. Howard's plan that the time to influence the St. Louis convention with reference to the Negro voters of the country is now—not to wait until the delegates are in convention assembled, the platform adopted by the ticket named. The number of colored
F2
Wilsonites at Indianapolis is not expected to be large—it is not a convention but simply a conference of the members of the executive committee of the National League to formulate an address to the platform committee at St. Louis and the national committee, and to name a date for the annual meeting and the election of officers for the ensuing year.

SUMMER FURS MORE MODISH

THE OSTRICH BOA RETURNS
New York, May 17—From Fashion's
New York Court comes the word that
summer furs will be more modish this
year than they were last. The huge
boa of white fox held the favored place
last summer, but this season the shops
are offering a variety of furs for summer
wear. In spite of the apparent
absurdity, a wide soft stole of mole,
mink, seal or ermine often proves a
very graceful addition to the sheer
summer dance frock on seaside porch
or board walk. While the round, soft
© MOCALL
The Spanish Flounce Dress
fox boa will in all probability continue
to be popular with tailored suits
and dresses, the long, wide stole will
be more used for evening. A particularly
interesting stole of tailless ermine,
shown in one of the large fur shops,
is lined with a stirling black
and white-striped taffeta, while one of the
moleskin has a vivid orange lining.
Here again is offered an effective way
to introduce the bright bit of color so
necessary to the summer costume.
The Popularity of Voile
Plain, striped, checked, dotted and patterned voiles, in all colors, and combinations, are in demand for the corded, ruffled, fluffy lingerie frock. Of course there are voiles and voiles; the true voile wears and washes well, is sheer and dainty, quite as attractive as the more expensive cottons. There is a hint here and there of the return of hand-painted muslins for blouses and dresses. Probably the stenciled hat suggested the idea, which is quining and pretty, if not actually practical. All sorts of clever nothins might be worked out by the woman with ingenuious brain and fingures, but if the material were to be purchased or ordered, the fad might prove rather expensive. Sashes and scarfs, however, will carry
© JICCALL
Jumper Frock of Taffets out the notion with voile and organdy frocks very effectively.
Flower-Trimmed Hats
Summer would not be summer without the flower-decked hat, but the notion rarely lasts longer than Easter, except on the large picture hat of Leghorn, crin, or hemp, which completes the June bridesmaid's costume, or the summer beauty's dainty frock. This season, however, there is a strong indication that flowers will play more than their ordinary role in summer millinery. The medium brimmed, rather stifftallened hat, with its upstanding bouquet of vari-colored blossoms, so popular some years back, is being noticed here and there; one sees, also, a number of flower turbans; flower crowns are favored with certain costumes, and wreaths are quite popular. The flower stencled hats are very well liked indeed. Ribbon, too, is smart for trimming, and ostrich.
in the form of fringe and fancies, is a popular trimming.
The Return of Ostrich Boas
The Easter parade both on the board walk of Atlantic City, and Fifth Avenue, New York, was marked by the colored ostrich feather boas which completed so effectively the dark tallored suits, donned in accordance with the weather. Marabou is also quite modish for neck pieces. The revival of the feather boa will be welcomed by many, as it lends a soft, becoming touch to suit or gown, and in its new shades, a welcome bit of contrast. These boas, as a rule, are short, finished at the end with tassels of chenille or silk, and close up closely about the threat.
Maine taches, and smart little fancies of pleated or pinked ribbon, are also modish for the tallored suit or one-piece steel frock. Quaint backles are often used effectively for closing them.
The quaint little caps, pelerines, and similar tunicies, of taffeta, faille, or satin, now being offered for summer wear, are other attractive additions to the summer frock; in all probability these will be quite as popular as the fur stole, or the feather boa, or even a little more favored. They are becoming quite in keeping With the dresses of the moment, may easily be fashioned at home, and are of course much less expensive than fur. Ruffles, cordings, and conventionalized trimming, quilted pleated, pinked or shirred, are used to finish these caps' lending still another old-fashioned touch. An ornamenty or coile frock will receive an added daintiness in one of these taffeta caps, of a shade corresponding to or harmoniously contrasting with the dominant color of the dress.
FREE SEVENTH DAY ADVENTISTS
ARE NOT AUNT HAGER'S
CHILDREN
In the course of human progress institutions are constantly undergoing superficial and radical changes. These arise from forces within or without the institution. The purpose is to bring about a higher degree of intellectual moral or social condition, which is the outgrowth of progressive civilization. These changes are the safe guards of all the vital interests of human society, either secular or religious. From the religion of Jesus Christ, immanable in its nature and source; when administered by mutable man, in the application of its system of operation, far from time to time, to be readjusted to the original standard.
The history of all religions, since the days of the apostles, with the various changes, in doctrine and polity, that have affected the destiny of human society, have originated from some one or more of the following causes: "Purity of doctrine, the right of conscience, free exercise of personal judgment, full religious liberty or church polity." All the soils on secession reforms or expulsion that have marked the path of religious history, have involved one or more of these principles as causes. When the stronger element of a religious body standfor and supports intolerance and cyclicalical error. There are three possible ways, for the minority to strive for adjustment; first, by persistent efforts for a remedy; second by expulsion of the refractory ones; third, by withdrawal of the true adherents to right principles, from the main body. The first and second have been tried repeatedly in the past, with but little or nothing accomplished. The third is the only practical means left, to a powerless, minority, to free itself from participating in corrupt doctrines, and maintain right religious principles.
This is in perfect record with the word of God, for He says, "Come out from among them and be ye separate, saith the Lord." This was the only course left for the reformers. The love of truth, freedom and righteousness that actuated Luther of Germany, Knox of Scotland, and Westley of England, glows in the heart of every Free Seventh Day Adventist, therefore, we are determined to enjoy the priceless boon of freedom purchased by Christ the Lord, for all mankind.
About twenty-five years ago, Seventh Day Adventists began a definite work among colored people of the South. For ten years the two races experienced no difficulty in the north and west, in the equal enjoyment of religious rights and privileges. As the denomination grew in influence and popularity, race prejudice began to engender Negro prescription, as the number of Negroes increased in the churches, the race friction and proscription grew more rapidly. Then to add sin to sin, the white leaders' of the denomination, a few years ago, began in a deceptive and unchristian way, the work of segregation of the Negroes in all of their churches, east, west, north and south. All of this was contrary to their profession and teaching. Some of the more intelligent Negroes, resented this unscripted course, and demanded an explanation. The white leaders could not use the Bible to support them in the base acts of prejudice and proscription; so they resorted to the writings of Mrs. Ellen G. White. They issued in 1909 Vol 9 of the Testimonies, in which are two garbled chapters; the Negro question, which is the Chinese puzzle to the fair minded Christian, then to think you are asked to believe that the God of heaven is speaking in these testimonies. Here is the claim for these testimonies, in Vol 5, page 67: "In these letters which I write in the testimonies I bear, I present to you that which the Lord has presented to me. I do not write one article in the paper expressing merely my own ideas. They are what God has opened before me in vision, the precious rays of light shining from the throne." Here, as you see, is a claim for absolute infallibility, for all Mrs. Whitg's writings.
Notice again in the claim by the denominational paper, "Our position on the testimonies, they are like the key stone of the arch. Take this out and there is no logical stopping place till all the special truths of the message are gone. Nothing is surer than this, that this message and the visions (of Mrs. White) belong together and stand or fall together."—Review and Herald, Aug. 14, 15S1.
Here are some statements on the Negro from these testimonies and

judge for yourself how much our heavenly Father had to do with them. "Since the flood there has been amalgation of man and beast, as may be seen in the almost endless variety of species of animals, and in certain races of men." The Vision, page 102. One of the leading ministers of the denomination said, in a sermon before a large audience, that the above statement referred to the Negroes. This you notice is highly unscriptural, as to the origin of all men, and is contrary to science and human experience. In Vol 9, page 213 of testimonies, "No long were the colored people under the curse of slavery, that it is a difficult thing to know how they should be treated." Think of it, a body of people professing to be followers of Christ, and not knowing in 1809, A. D., how to treat the Negro. My Bible teaches me to treat a common dog. On page 214, "The colored people should not urge that they be placed on equality with whites." Page 202, "Opportunities are continually presenting themselves in the Southern states, and many wise christian colored men will be called to work. But for several reasons, white men must be chosen as leaders." This is a grievous insult to every man or woman that enters the ranks of the S. A. D. here. Here is a permanent bar to leadership, regardless of whatever ability any Negro in the denomination may possess. In the same connection we read, "If you see that by doing certain things that you have a perfect right to do, you hinder the advancement of God's work, refrain from doing these things." Here is the most fragrant submission to prevailing prejudices, by a writer who claims inspiration, that we have ever seen. It appears that the writer would accommodate principles of right and justice to any kind of subterfuge in order to catch the popular breeze. Then of late the decree has gone forth, from the leaders, that all church property must be signed over to the conference, this applied especially to church property held by colored congregations. Some of these churches refused to comply with this decree. The People's S. D. A. church of Washington, D. C., of which Elder Lewis C. Sheafe was founder and pastor, would not submit to this order of things the conference officials reported to all kinds of tricks trying to secure the title to the property, so far they have not succeeded. Then the Savannah, Ga., church of which Elder Manns is founder and pastor, with a property worth $40,000, and a membership of 190, was turned out of conference connection, because they refused to deed their property to the conference. The same fate befell the Lexington, Ky., church of which Elder J. E. Price is pastor. We state these facts, that the public may be able to decide as to the justness of our cause, and our reason for organizing a separate denomination. This then is the contention of Elder Lewis C. Sheafe and his church of Los Angeles, Cal., of Elder J. W. Manns and his church of Savannah, Ga., of Elder Thos. Defreze and his church of Dallas, Texas and Elder J. F. Price and his church of Lexington, Ky., and others whose names will appear later. These brethren feel that after a long time of waiting for a square deal from S. D. A. that they are getting more and more into bondage, therefore, they now de-
clare themselves free in Christ Jesus. They have adopted a distinctive name, the one given by Mrs. L. P. Sheafe in a public address she made in Conference Hall, 417 West 5th street Los Angeles, Cal., Sept 1, 1915, in which she said, "From this night on no longer shall any man or set of men stand between me and my God. I am a Free Seventh Day Adventist." We think the name a happy one for this branch of the church of the living God. We are determined by the grace of God, to stand fast in the liberty where with Christ has made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. Gal 5:1. "Now we brethren, as Isaiah was, are children of promise. But as he that was born after the flesh, persecuted him that was born after the spirit, even so it is now Nevertheless, what saith the scriptures? Cast out the bond woman and her son; for the son of the bond woman shall not be heir with the son of the free woman. So then, brethren, we are not children of the bond woman, but of the free." Gal 4:23:11. Therefore we claim for ourselves, and accord to all others, the freedom of the gospel of Jesus Christ. With charity toward all and malice toward none, Jesus said those that believed on Him, if they continue in my word, then are ye disciples indirect; and ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. Jno 5:31. "Sanctify them through thy truth; thy word is truth."—Jno. 17:17. "Open the gates that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in."—Is 26:22. "Who will enter the kingdom? Not every one that saith unto me Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven."—Mat. 7:21.
The Free Seventh Day Adventist is here to stay, for it is founded on the principles of the "Church of the living God," which is the pillar and ground of the truth."—Tim. 3:15. The organization of the church is such as the New Testaments describes, a congregation of baptized believers, who trust in Jesus alone for salvation, taking the holy scriptures as their only rule of faith and practice. Each separate church or congregation is its own sovereign under God. The assembly is composed of individuals, pastors and messengers from the several churches in a state or district, having its own constitution and by-laws and meeting annually.
The general assembly extends over and embraces the fields of the assemblies in the various states and counties. It has its own constitution and by-laws and has annual and bannual meetings. These assemblies are of legislative bodies, they do not exercise ecclesiastical authority of any kind over any of the churches. Their object is co-operation for the fellowship of council. The ministry is composed of God called and anointed men. We most cordially invite all Christians who are keeping the commandments of God to unite with us that we may press this work to its final close and hasten the glorious kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Yours for a square deal for the Negro,

BAPTIST MINISTERS' UNION
The Baptist Ministers' Union held its regular weekly meeting at the First A. B. Church, Rev. Wm. Gray presiding. The meeting was quite helpful, especially the sermonic report. Among the things discussed was the work of the holy spirit which we all enjoy. A committee was appointed to see the hall owners in regards to the class of dances carried on in them. The arrangement committee of the National Baptist convention is preparing to entertain seven thousand, delegates. Anyone desiring to take delegates will, see their pastor or Rev. E. H. Quo, secretary of arrangement committee. We are urging every friend in the city to make it their convention as it comes to us all. The Sunday school and B. Y. P. U. conventions come to Savannah also this year. They are known as the Missionary and general state Baptist convention of Georgia. There was a visitor present in the person of Rev. Story of Knoxville, Tenn. He is here on a two week's vacation.

A floral automobile parade is to be given Saturday, under the direction of Mr. Charles L. Skinner. 147 entries have already been made and the spectacle bids fair to be a brilliant one. C. R. Patterson & Son, of Greenfield, Ohio, a colored firm of automobile manufacturers, will be among the exhibitors. White firms may compete for the prize if the machine is driven by a colored chauffeur, the prize going to the driver.
Mr. L. Hawkins, the popular young lawyer, 1015 T street, has published an advertisement offering $500 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for the circulation of the absolutely false and scurrilous report of a supposed gathering of friends recently at the home of Dr. Samuel G. Bullock. In this practical fashion Mr. Hawkins sets at naught the machinations of a group of marplots who have sought to foil a scandal upon some of Washington's best society people.

Mr. James A. Cobb, former special assistant United States District Attorney, reports the theft from his office desk of a $1,000 United States bond and $25 in cash. Mr. Cobb has office at (09) 1st street, northwest, but has been absent from the city a great deal in the past few weeks. It is presumed that the thieves broke in and got the goods while Mr. Cobb was away on his recent tour of the South.
Mr. John W. F. Smith, of the office of the public schools is collecting in readable shape the memories of his father, the late William Henry Smith, who was for many years assistant Librarian of Congress. The senior Smith knew personally every man of note in Congress for half a century and was familiar with practically every book that had to do with the current work of the national legislature. He was frequently consulted as to where information of the most abstruse problems could be found and Mr. Smith could invariably produce it in a jiffy. The personal recollections of Mr. Smith of the men who made the United States a nation are bound to be of deep interest to Americans of both races today and his son is rendering a valuable service in making this mass of important data available to the public.
Prof. E. C. Williams, principal of the M Street High school, gave an illuminating review of the life and works of Shakespeare at the May meeting of the Mu-So-Lit Club, and Mr. Merrill Curtis presented the quarrel scene between "Brutus" and "Cassius" from "Julius Caesar". Hamlet's soliloquy and other notable excerpts from the masterpieces of the Bard of Avon. Prof. George W.

The practical disintegration of the Colored Business High School, due to the inefficiency and poor judgment of the existing administration of the colored end of the school system, is being investigated by the Northwest Colored Citizens' Association which holds regular meetings at the Garnet School. This association is made up of Washington's leading men and women and is steadily growing in influence for the betterment of the civic and educational affairs of the race in this community.
Rifle clubs have been organized in several of the government departments. The membership, so far, has been confined to the white employees. It is rumored that the colored employees are planning to form rifle clubs of their own in the departments where colored employees are sufficient to insure the success of such a movement.
The Washington Dispatch, bearing a strong flavor of West Virginia vintage, is the newest applicant for journalistic honors in the nation's capital. The publication is a creditable one and its twelve pages are filled with choice reading matter, of both a local and national character. The name of Edward H. Lawson, a member of the public schools, is carried at the masthead as managing editor, and Charles A. Marshall, an enterprising young man of this city, is given as advertising manager. Washington is frequently styled a "newspaper grave-yard" but the Dispatch seems to be a lusty youngster and ought to survive on its merits.

Lesson X.—Second Quarter, For June 4, 1916.
THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
Text of the Lesson, Acta xvi, 6-15.
Memory Verses, 9, 10—Golden Text,
Acta xvi, 9—Commentary Prepared
by Rev. D. M. Stearns.
It is beautiful to see Paul and Barnabas and Silas and others teaching and preaching the word of the Lord at Antioch after their return from Jerusalem. Personally I am heartily grateful to God that He ever led me to give myself wholly to the study and exposition of His word and that He has been graciously pleased to use me to help many to know Him better. This morning (May 25, 1915) among other mall was a letter which said: "Many, many years ago [it must be twenty-five at least] I learned to love my Bible through your teaching, and now I am teaching large classes each week. I have a class of 165 ladies and am teaching in Genesis—My heart cries. "I will extol Thee my God, O King, and I will bless thy name forever and ever" (Ps. calv. 1). It is not comforting to read of the contention over John Mark which led to the separation of such good friends as Barnabas and Paul, but the Lord overruled it for good by sending forth four missionaries instead of two, Barnabas and Mark sailing to Cyprus, while Paul and Silas went through Syria and Cilicia (xy, 35-41).
The first missionary tour ended at Lystra and Derbe, whence Paul and Barnabas retraced their steps by the way they had come, strengthening the saints and assuring them that tribulation was the way to the kingdom (xiv, 21-26). Now we find Paul again at Lystra and Derbe and are introduced to Timothy, of whom Paul spoke as "my own son in the faith" and of whom he wrote saying, "I have no man so dear unto me" (I Tim. 1, 2; Phil. ii, 20; margin). He also speaks of his mother, Eunice, and his grandmother, Lols, and of their unfeigned faith, which had been granted to Timothy likewise (II Tim. 1, 5). Being well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium, Paul took him along with him on this journey, and we find him associated with Paul in his letters to several of the churches, while in each of the letters to the Thessalonians the greeting is from Paul and Silas and Timothy.
It will certainly be interesting if Timothy shall tell us some day in the kingdom, that he saw Paul stoned, dragged out of the city as a dead man, return to life and return to the city, and that with the teaching at home led him to receive the Lord Jesus; whether in that way or just by the word preached he was one of those whom God gave to Paul and in a special way a man after his own heart (verses 1-3). As they went from city to city they were able to comfort and strengthen the disciples by the decision of the Jerusalem council (verses 4, 5).
Having passed through what is known as Asia Minor to the extreme west, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach the word in the province of Asia or in Bithymia (verses 6, 7), and this leads us to notice the control and guidance and power of the Holy Spirit in all this working of the risen and ascended Christ through His messengers.
Whether it be our Lord Himself or Peter or Stephen or Phillip or Paul and his companions, the Holy Spirit is the speaker, the worker, the teacher, the guide, the controller in all things. He is mentioned fifty times in seventeen chapters of this book. There is nothing that a believer needs so much as to be filled with and controlled by Him, for only thus can the risen Christ manifest Himself in us and work His works through us. We are not told how the Spirit forbade them to go to Asia or suffered them not to go into Bithynia. It may have been by circumstances or by a direct message, as when He told Philip to speak to the treasurer, or Peter to go with the messengers from Cornellus (vill. 29; x. 19). Oh, for cars to hear and a readiness to obey, a heart in tune with God, a life fully yielded to Him!
While at Troas Paul saw, in a vision of the night, a man of Macedonia, in Europe, and he heard him say, "Come over and help us." Therefore they concluded that the Lord was calling them to Europe, and so they crossed to Neapolis and went to Philippi, the chief city of that part of Macedonia (verses 8-12). If we have no wills nor plans of our own the Lord will in His own time and way give us sure guidance (Ps. xxxil, 8; Isa. xxx, 21; Ex. xxil, 20). They did not at first find the man of the vision, but in our next lesson in this book we shall see a man and his household made glad.
They did find on the Sabbath a women's prayer meeting, and as they spake the word of the Lord, the heart of a woman named Lydia was opened to receive the message, and being baptised, she and her household, she constrained the apostles to make her house their home for the time being (verses 13-15). She had worshiped God according to her light, and no doubt she and the others had prayed for more light, and God, who sent Philip to the eunuch, and Peter to Cornellus, sent Paul to this meeting. What a happy home this now was. Let all praying women be encouraged and those inclined to be discouraged by circumstances consider this first preaching of the gospel in Europe.

Race Between Clubs Keenly Watched
THREE CLUBS TIED FOR FIRST PLACE
Adelphias and Urban League Winners This Week—Batting Average of Players Published Below
The pennant race in the Negro Social Club Baseball League is being keenly watched by the followers of the game and much interest is being manifested. There are three teams tied for first place and the struggle for supremacy is on for sure.
The article of ball that the league's contestants are putting up is real good and the games are full of ginger.
The Piney Wood club which alone was occupying the first berth, now has two companions to fight it out with.
The ladies days have been discontinued and hereafter the price of admission will be 10 cents.
Monday
In an uphill struggle which kept the fans on edge during the game, the Young Adelphias overtook a lead of three runs and defeated the Eurekas by a score of 11 to 8. An error by Daniels in short figured much in the defeat.

Heywood and Ginn, Howell.
A home run by "Shank" Golden, a running catch by String, the sensational fielding of "Carl" Albert, and the consistent work of Peter Smith, all of the Urban League, were the features of Wednesday's game when the Urban League defeated the Roosters by a score of 10 to 7. The Roosters scored four runs in the first inning and the game was in their favor 6 to 5 until the eighth, when the youngsters of the Urban League picked up a batting rally and pounded the pill in every direction, heaping up five runs to their credit. The hitting of the boys in this inning caused Howell, who was covering the third sack for the Roosters to throw up the sponge and race out of the park. This however, was not done none too soon for Howell had made some costly errors, one of which caused the score to be tled.
