The Savannah Tribune. VOLUME XXXI Hitchcock Heads Republican Advisers Hitchcock Heads Republican Advisers OF THE NATIONAL CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE His Experience and Ability Recognized By Hughes and Willcox New York, August 23, 1916—When it came to a show down at Republican national headquarters yesterday, William R. Wilcox, chairman, showed he was boss. Figuratively, Wilcox defied the "old guard" when he named Frank H. Hitchcock, ex-Postmaster general chairman of his advisory committee. It is a safe prediction that Hitchcock has some advice to give on the way the campaign is run. Hitchcock really has been an "inside man" ever since the campaign started, but beyond making suggestions, when appealed to, has had to wait until he could be named to some office. But the appointment will please Mr. Hughes, who probably would have named Mr. Hitchock for his campaign manager had not the ex-Postmaster general spoken out of his turn in Chicago when he gave out a statement that Hughes would accept the nomination if he was the choice of the convention. Wilcox went just so far with the "old guard" and then yesterday said: "I was appointed to run this campaign. The responsibility is put on me and I accepted it. But, as I am responsible. I intend to run things in accordance with my best judgment. I have been obliged to give a good deal of attention in the past to arrangement of details, but now, with the appointment of this advisory committee, the way is clear for vigorous, aggressive work. Mr. Wilcox after stating his position, named the following advisory committee: R. Livingston Beeckmann, governor of Rhode Island; Theodore E. Burton, ex-senator from Ohio; Charles G. Dawes, Chicago banker and politician; A. O. Thelhourt, ex-governor of Minnesota; Charles W. Fulton, ex-senator from Oregon; Raymond Robbins, chairman of the Chicago Progressive convention; Victor Rosewater of Omaha, [Picture of a man in a suit and tie]. REV. L. G. JORDAN, Secretary Foreign Mission Board John Wanamaker of Philadelphia, William L. Ward of New York and James Wilson of Iowa, ex-secretary of agriculture. With the naming of the committee the lethargy that has marked the campaign to date is expected to disappear. Three or four of the committee will be in this city all of the time. Theodore Roosevelt has not been satisfied with the way the campaign has been going and has advised getting on the stump two or three men who have waked up things in the past. EUREKAS LOOK LIKE PENNANT WINNERS Are Pushing Adelphias Hard For First Place The Eureka baseball team looks like the winners in the race for the pennant in the Negro Social Clubs Baseball League. The winning of Wednesday's game from the Urban League places them only a few points behind the league leaders. The Eurekas and Adelphias met yesterday, but the result of the game was too late for publication. Lockheart shut the Urban League out Wednesday, the score being 5-0. Thomas and Shedrick worked for the League boys and Lockheart and Howell for the Eurekas. Arrangements are being made to pull off a triple header game on Monday, similar to the Forth of July event. The first game will probably be called at 2:30 o'clock. According to the schedule the games will be played as follows:Home Association vs Urban League, Eurekas vs Piney Wood, Adel phias vs Roosters.

A. Rucker on Piedmont avenue, Atlanta, Ga. Dr. J. W. E. Bowen performed the ceremony which was witnessed by many friends. Preceding the ceremony, Miss Alma Davis, sister of the groom, sang "Somewhere a Voice Is Calling", and promptly at the appointed hour the bridal party entered the drawing room to the strains of Mendelssohn's wedding march, played by Miss Irene Bowen and accompanied by Mr. Jos-ph Douglass, on the violin. The wedding party included Miss Lucy Rucker, sister of the bride, as maid-of-honor; Miss Nellie Askew and Miss Kate Graves, bridesmaids; little Misses Nedle, Hazel and Alice Rucker and Miss Evelyn Scott of Tuskegee, Ala., as ribbon bearers, and little Miss Anna Rucker as flower girl, Mr. Kemper Harreld was best man. The bride was a beautiful picture in her wedding gown which was an exquisite creation in duchess satin and rosepoint lace. The corsage was embroidered in a design of pearls. The wedding veil was of tulle with a cirelet of orange blossoms. She carried a shower bouquet of white roses and valley illies, the snowy whiteness of the blossoms heightened by the delicate sprays of green fern. the maid of honor was a figure of youthful beauty in her fairy-like gown of pink tulle over pink taffeta with trimmings of silver lace and rhinestones. Her flowers were a shower bouquet of pink roses and swansonia. The bridesmaids were beautifully gowned alike in white tulle over pink taffeta fashioned with two flonches with hoop-skirt appearance, and with trimmings of silver lace. Their flowers were pink and white arm bouquets. The ribbon bearers wore white embroidered organdy with pink sashes. The little flower girl was a picture of dainty loveliness in white embroidered net with trimmings of pink butterfly hows. She carried a basket of pink and white roses. Following the ceremony an informal reception was held, during which the parents of the bride received with the young couple and their attendants. Decorations throughout the house reflected the shades of pink and white roses and gladiolus against a background of green. In the drawing-room, where the ceremony was performed, there was a high bank of palms and potted ferns. Pedestals of white and pink were surrounded by French baskets filled with flowers in Dresden shades and were on each side of an improvised altar. Myriads of candles surrounded the altar. The mantels were banked with ferns and vases of the season's flowers which were effectively used on all sides. There was smilax on the chandelier and in the dining room there was a decorative scheme in pink and white. The bride is the eldest of a group of six charming daughters of Hon. and Mrs. H. A. Rucker, her father formerly served as collector of internal revenue for the state of Georgia, and grand-daughter of the late ex-Congressman Jefferson F. Long, and her relatives are among Atlanta's most prominent people. The bride has spent the greater part of her life in Atlanta, except for the years spent at Fisk University where she graduated in the class of 1911, and the announcement of her marriage will be of interest to her many friends, who will wish her much happiness. The groom is a young professor of Morehouse College, who stands high in college circles. Mr. and Mrs. Davis left on a night train for a wedding trip to Montclair, N. J., and New York City, and upon their return in four weeks will be at home at Morehouse College. Among the beautiful pre-nuptial events were a series of parties given by the bride's attendants, a dinner party by Dr. and Mrs. W. F. Penn, an afternoon luncheon by the Misses Bowen, and a buffet supper by the Hiawatha Club, composed of many of Atlanta's most prominent young men. Mr. G. H. Bowen, the real estate man has returned home after a pleasant trip through the north. SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 2ND 1916. THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN DR. E. C. MORRIS, President, Helena, Ark.

PLEASING CONCERT AT FIRST B. B. CHURCH Despite the inclement weather on Monday night last, a fair crowd attended the concert for the benefit of the monument fund. The drill by the young misses and the tableaux depicting well-known bible characters were especially well rendered and favorably commended, as was the female quartet.

BINESS FOR TIST CONVENTION ITS HERE NEXT WEEK WE BEEN MADE FOR ENTERTAIN- MANY VISITORS 10,000 Is Expected Unveiling of Monument to First Negro Baptist Foreign Missionary to be One of Features of Convention Next week Savannah will be host to the biggest convention which has been here in over a score of years unless, of course, the impending railroad strike materializes, in which event the attendance will be cut down by very appreciable numbers. The Baptist host meets here in their eightth annual session and it is expected that upwards of eight thousand visitors will be in the city during the six days the convention will be in session. All of the sessions of the convention will be held at the First African Baptist Church, Franklin square, the big auditorium being amply large enough to house the body while the numerous committees will have access to the large basement. The opening exercises will be held Wednesday morning and at night Mayor Pierpont will address the body. The female portion of the convention goes to St. John Baptist church, Harridge street. For the benefit of the thousands of strangers who will be in the city, the local committee on arrangements has made provision for a bureau of information to be conducted at the parsonage of the F. A.B. church, West Broad and Maple lane. Those in charge of this feature of the convention will gladly give information to any of the visitors concerning the city, its places of interest, etc. The headquarters of the convention, however, will be at 458 West Broad street, in the rear of the beautiful and commodious office of Mr. G. H. Bowen, the real estate dealer, in the Wage Earners Bank building. The officials of the convention are --- 5 EUREKA CLUB ELECTION The election of officers of the Eureka Aid and Athletic Club was held on last Monday night and it seemed as if a spirited contest would be waged for the presidency. Mr. H. S. Scott the present incumbent, was opposed by Mr. W. H. Norman, a former president of the organization. Early in the balloting it was conceived that Mr. Norman could not muster strength to come back and his opponent was easily re-elected, receiving eighty-six votes against twenty-three. The old board was re-elected with the exception of Mr. John A. Gadsden, the chairman of house, who declined the re-nomination for the position. The following are the officers: President, Henry S. Scott Vice President, Thos. J. Carter; Financial Secretary, Thos H. Green, Treasurer, Chas. M. Mathis; Recording Secretary, Joseph Daniels; Advocate, Robt L. Smith; Chairman of House, James G. Philpot. SAVANNAH DELEGATION TO WASHINGTON, D. C. Arrangements have been completed by the local committee for the attending of the Odd Fellows B. M. C., which meets 1 nWashington, D. C., September 11-16.

The Georgia delegation will number about three hundred and will arrive in a special train at Washington at 10:40 Sunday morning. Those who will go from here are Dr. B. W. S. Daniels, J. D. Powell, W.

Flipper performed the marriage ceremony. Dr. A. L. Branch of Cedartown, acted as best man and Miss Gertrude Reed of Atlanta was maid of honor. Quite a host of friends came out to witness the marriage. The presents were many and beautiful. The bridal party, after congratulations of friends, were accompanied to the station and left at 3:40 p. m. for Circleville, Ohio. AT THE Y. M. C. A.

There will be many distinguished visitors in attendance upon the convention. Among them will be Major R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute. Major Moton speaks Friday night at which time standing room in the large church will probably be at a great premium. Among the prominent women attending the convention will be Miss N. H. Burroughs, the widely known head of the girls training school, Washington, D. C. On Tuesday night a program will be conducted by the ladies as follows: Addresses Dr. C. T. Walker and Miss N. H. Burroughs; plano solo, Miss Ione Monroe; vocal solo, Mrs. T. J. Goodall; plano solo, Mrs. J. B. Horn; quartette from Beth Eden church, led by Mrs. A. E. Orner. The program for the general sessions of the convention were not available. The following are the principal features of the opening exercises. Welcome Addresses On behalf of the city, Judge C. N. Feldelson. On behalf of the Baptists of Georgia Rev. M. W. Reddick, President State Baptist Convention. E W Sheehan On behalf of business organizations, J C Lindsay On behalf of professional organizations, Dr. B. W. S. Daniels On behalf of the colored Baptists of the city, Rev, Wm. Gray, D. D. On. behalf of women of various denominations, MS'M'E. Harper. National Business League Echoes National Business League Echoes TENTH ANNUAL SESSION HELD AT KANSAS CITY, MO. The election of J. C. Napler as president to succeed the immortal Dr. Washington was eminently fitting and satisfactory. He was the "Wizzard's" right hand man and the policies of the league will undergo no changes at his hands. His strong hand will hold the helm straight and his wise counsel will keep alive the principles and ideas for which the league stands and through which it has grown to be the race's most potent agency for the commercial uplift of the race. The attendance far exceeded the expectations of the most sanguine and compared favorably with that of any session yet held away from the populus centers of the country. Fortune J. Weaver, chairman of the energetic local committee, and his tireless helpmate, Mrs. Bessie M. Weaver, were here there and everywhere. They deserve the thanks of the nation for their painstaking and effective work in getting the convention to come to Kansas City and making it a success. The headquarters at 1516 East 18th street were a mecca towards which all travelers turned after reaching the city. It was comfortable and convenient and the attendants were polite and attentive to the last degree. The manmoth stock yards and packing houses were marvels to those who had never before been in the presence of so much that was good to eat. Umnett J. Scott's memorial address on Booker T. Washington was a masterpiece. As chief galogist of the race's poerless leader, Mr. Scott was happily chosen. He knew the man as no other man knew him. He could grasp the [Picture of a man in a suit and bow tie]. REV. T. J. GOODALL, Chairman Committee of Arrangements inner soul of the great educator as no other man could, and he reflected the purpose and principles of the "Wizard" more clearly than was possible to any other man in the world. Simply, sincerely and searchingly, Mr. Scott analyzed the character and achievements of Booker Washington, and without any apparent effort toward making a speech, he held the immense audience at Convention hall spell bound throughout and rose to the heights of the purest eloquence by reason of the heart interest he put into his text. The regular sessions were held in the spacious Vine Street Baptist church, and large audiences turned out every time the doors were opened. Despite strong temptations to stray far afield, the convention stuck to its business text and aschewed politics. It was not the function of the league to endorse candidates and had the good taste to refrain from doing so. Watte Terry, of Brocton, Mass., a wealthy real estate manager was elected fourth vice-president, to succeed the late Phillip J. Alliston, of Boston. Dr. William H. Davis, of Washington, D. C., one of the very best stenographers of the race, took down the proceedings, word for word, in graphic style, and his report each year becomes a part of the permanent records of race progress. Mrs. Booker T. Washington was present and bore up admirably under the extraordinary strain to which she was subjected. Mrs. Washington is a wonderful woman and through her watchfulness of Dr. Washington's diet, insistence, upon adequate rest, and relieving him of all burdens that she could assume herself, the Wizzard of Tuskegee was preserved to the race much longer than would have otherwise been the case.

But when the matter is serlously considered, and studied ¢arefully from every anzle, we must, in fairness to ourselves and to all concerned, conclude that these bane- ful conditions of which we have a just right to complain, grow out of the fact that the average ones among us are filled with the very same thing which we have on sundry occasions charged against the other fellow, that ix, down right prejudice.

FAIRBANKS Of Indiana Saturday September 2nd, 1916 Hundreds of our men are now laboring in northern climes. They are earnestly admonished to make good. The frivolous ones should cut out the "good time" idea, give full and competent service, save their earnings and conserve their health. The National Colored Citizenship Rights Congress to be held in Washington, D. C., this month should indeed be a representative one. Conditions as concerning our people in this country at present, demand the serious consideration of leaders of thought among us. In no better way can this be accomplished than by the holding of this race congress. The Tribune joins with the local Baptists and citizens in general in welcoming to our city the National Baptist Convention which meets here beginning next Wednesday. They will find here a city beautiful, progressive and racial feeling the best. They will find colored citizens who are alert along business lines; many of them owning business buildings. Our homes and churches will compare favorably and our hospitality is well-known. It is indeed a great privilege for Savannah, to entertain as her guests the great host of Negro Baptists who will be here next week in attendance upon the National convention. Among the visitors will be some of our leading churchmen and educators. The convention will probably be the largest this city has entertained and if is up to us all to see that it is entertained in a faultless manner. This can only be done by everybody working along together for the benefit of our guests. Our homes should be wide open to our distinguished guests and then every possible need should be supplied willingly and generously. Sheriff Sherman of Allen county, O. is a hero. He stands out boldly among the sheriff's of this country in the performance of his duty. This week at Lima, Ohio, a colored man was accused of assaulting a whiff woman. He was arrested and placed in jail. The brave sheriff fearing a mob removed him to another jail. A cowardly mob soon gathered to storm the jail. Not finding the prisoner they met the sheriff and made a demand for the prisoner. The sheriff refused. He was beaten and tortured, but the mob was unable to reach the prisoner. The average sheriff would have submitted and the accused man would have been hurled into eternity. No doubt Gov. Willis will demand a vigorous investigation and the guilty leaders of the mob may yet suffer for their lawless act. Lawlessness in the South or North is to be deplored. Just what we feared and mentioned several times on account of such a large number of a certain class of our people going north, is voiced by the Cleveland Gazette in the following: "At least one thousand Afro-Americans have been brought to Cleveland in recent months to work in the large plants of this city. Hundreds of their women and children have followed them here. Too many of them are undesirable residents whose conduct already has made conditions much worse for our good people of this community. As far as we have been able to learn, this has been the case in other cities of this section of the country that have acquired any considerable number of them. There is need, among our people of this community, of a citizens' organization that will make it its business to look carefully into the situation and deal with it as best it can, promptly, before there are serious results that will redound to the everlasting shame and disgrace of all of our people in Cleveland as well as the city itself. From time to time, for weeks, The Gazette has sounded this note of warning, calling particularly upon the clergymen for leading action in the matter because they are supposedly charged with the moral and religious welfare of our people of this community. We did, and do this, however, in a kindly and not "a carping, spirit". The matter is of such commanding importance that it deserves immediate attention regardless of all else. Take heed before it is too late. Too long, already, have we delayed Editor Smith has pointed the way. The churches and every institution of uplift should go among these people and point them the way of improvement. It can be done by practical and painstaking efforts. THE STARS IN THEIR COURSE SIDE WITH A RACE FIGHTING FOR ITS RIGHTS Boston, Mass.—This year 1916 for colored Americans is historically critical. It marks the accountability year of the first Southern president since freedom, and the half century since the passage by Congress of the Civil Rights bill and of the 14th amendment creating citizenship. For many years we have been losing our rights of citizenship, in law or practice, South and North, an ominous sign. At the height of such a year what is to be the answer of colored Americans, itself, what its historical record? It is not enough to vote against the perfidious Wilson. Evenso he might be re-elected. Shall the historian tomorrow, and he will be a white man, perhaps this same Wilson, record that under a race proscription suffered not so much by any other race, 50 years after receiving citizenship, 12 million strong, this Colored race, alone or like race groups, was incapable of itself creating and maintaining organized self-defense of rights on a natural basis? Religious, fraternal, charity, business organizations, local organization for rights or national by the philanthropic aid of 'noble' friends, are all most excellent, but do not sustain our historical record as a race. This can be easily done, however, by the formation of an Equal Rights Committee by Colored Americans in each colored community. Have it understood that those committees are for cooperating with other organizations and all difficulties are removed. They are to prevent the charge of no self-fight or initiative, are for members of all other organizations to join, and are not to interfere. The great opportunity comes now. Every colored community should form an Equal Rights Committee at once and send a delegate to the National Colored Citizenship Rights Congress called for Washington, D. C. in one month's time by the National Equal Rights League, whose branches hold up this cause but in not enough places. Through the Congress or league, the Equa I Rights Committees—the very name has power—can be nationally connected. Send either a delegate or a message to the Congress. Thus without interference with existing agencies our race can save its own historical record and by self-help and spirit retain a valid claim before mankind to Equality of Rights. Act now, Colored Americans. William Monroe Trotter WHAT THE GAY OVERHOMERS ARE DOING IN BEAUFORT (J. S.

THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, II Cor. xi, 21-33. Memory Verses, 25, 26—Golden Text, II Cor. xii, 9—Commentary Prepared by Rev. Dr. Steains. The beginning of our lesson chapter takes up the very topic of the last part of last week's lesson, that of the church being espoused as a chaste virgin to Christ as her husband, or, as he said in Rom. vil, 4, we are married to Christ, raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God. We still wait for the actual marriage of the Lamb, which must take place before we can come with Him in His glory. See the order of events in Rev. xix. Paul speaks of Eve being beguiled by the serpent, and the church is the body and bride of Christ, the last Adam, just as Eve was both the body and bride of the first Adam. When this Eve shall have been builted she shall be brought to her Adam in the air, and then shall be the marriage of the Lamb, in which approaching event all the redeemed in glory must be intensely interested. The same serpent who deceived Eve is still decliving all his blinded ones, coming to them as an angel of light, preaching another Jesus, another spirit, another gospel (verses 3, 4, 13). All from whom the true gospel is hid are blinded by him as the god of this world, and now, as in the time of Paul, multitudes suffer gladly to be taught by fools rather than listen to the wisdom of God (verse 19; iv, 3, 4). It is sometimes said of preachers and evangelists that they are in the work for what there is in it financially. This may be true of some, but we prefer to judge nothing before the time till the Lord come, for the judgment seat of Christ will make all His own and their works manifest (I Cor. iv, 5; II Cor. v, 9, 19). They could not accuse Paul of seeking his own gain in any way, for while at Corinthus, as we saw in Acts xvill. 2, 3, he and Aquila and Priscilla worked at their occupation at tent makers. He would not be chargeable to any man nor be a burden to any one—rather would he spend and he spent for them, though the more he loved them the less he was loved by them (chapters xi, 7-9; xil, 15-18). He counted all things as nothing compared with the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus, his Lord, for whom he suffered the loss of all things (Phil. iii, 7-10). He did not tell us that it was a special privilege to suffer with Christ (Phil. 1, 29) without having tasted of the same in full measure himself. In verse 23 he speaks of labors, stripes, prisons, deaths, and then in the verses following he tells of five courgings, three beatings with rods, once stoned, three shipwrecks, besides all other sufferings which he mentions, making up a list which perhaps was never exceeded in the life of any other individual believer. Yet he says: "Most gladly will I glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake" (xil, 0, 10). Was there ever such another devoted follower of the Lord Jesus or such a record of suffering for His sake? He certainly did cause others to suffer when he was a persecutor and murderer, but, when his turn came he must have far exceeded them all. If the record in chapter xii, 1-8, refers to his experience at Lystra, when he was stoned to death there on his first missionary tour, what he saw and heard in paradise or the third heaven, while for a little while dead, and dragged out of Lystra as such must have greatly sustained him in all his sufferings after that. Peter tells us that we should rejoice to be partakers of Christ's sufferings, for when His glory shall be revealed we shall be glad with exceeding joy (I Pet. iv, 12, 13). In II Cor. iv, 17, Paul speaks of affliction as being light, and but for a moment, compared with the far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory which will be ours. Abraham was sustained by the assurance of the city for which he looked and was fully persuaded that God would do as He had said. What Jacob saw in vision at Bethel must have been a great strength to him, unworthy though he was. The assurances given to Joseph in his dreams must have been a great comfort to him in the years of his imprisonment and slavery. The good will of Him who dwelt in the bush and the recompense of the reward were more to Moses than all the pleasures and treasures and prospects in Egypt. Isaiah was cheered in dark days by a vision of the King, the Lord of Hosts; (Isa. vi), and our Lord Himself was sustained by the joy set before Him (Heb. xl, 2). There is nothing like visions of God and of glory to lift us above the things seen and temporal. If we have some physical infirmity, as Paul had, God may be more glorified by our bearing it patiently than by our being delivered from it. Leave it to Him. The lilies all do, and they grow. Nothing counts unless God is glorified in us (Phil. 1, 20). Chapter xl, 9, 10, comes in well here and teaches us that God needs our weakness, not our strength, for His strength is made perfect in weakness. If we desired, the power of Christ upon us, as Paul did, we would welcome all things as for our good (Rom. vill, 28). ```markdown ``` Air Line Railway Co.

They are literally here, there and everywhere. Our young pleasure seekers, bent on making the most of vacation time, believe in preparedness, so off they go, bound for the beaches or for the tennis courts and golf links of the country clubs with racquets under their arms and golf bags thrown across their shoulders. There is always a chance for a game between the drops! O'MCCALL Two striking models adopted by the younger set are reproduced here. In one of white and blue linen, the waist and upper part of the skirt were of white linen and the sailor collar, cuffs and lower part of the skirt were blue. Very large pockets were placed on either side. The larger the pockets the more up-to-date the dress, nowadays. This dress, like many of the present models, hangs from the shoulders and is therefore ideal for sports. The other dress is a Russian style. It is of rose-colored silk jersey with black collar, cuffs and belt, and buttoned all the ways down the front with small black buttons. The waist has box plaits in the front and back stitched as far as the waistline and left free below it to give more fullness to the lower part. At the Beaches The lure of the salt water brings crowds to the shore every summer, and here one may view fashion in various phases. There is as much variety to be seen in the the bathing suits on the sands as in the costumes of the fash- ionable women who throng the boardwalk A good many of the bathing suits are in one-piece style made on very simple lines and slipped on over the head. One which attracted much attention on account of its simplicity and good style was made of green and blue wool jersey. The upper part was all green and the lower part was blue. They were joined below the normal waistline and belted at this line. A strip of blue edged, the green sailor collar. Green silk stockings with white shoes were worn with this costume. Quite as popular as wool jersey are satin, taffeta, alpaca and the rubberized materials. Full-skirted and flounced suits are liked as much as the plainer one-piece models. All manner of rubber lats, caps, parasols and foot-wear are seen in the crowds that dot the sands. On the boardwalk there is no monotony either in the number of cool-looking dresses and suits. White net frocks all a-flutter with frills and pretty, bright ribbons, smocks of colored silks with white serge skirts, dainty flesh colored, white or gray Georgette crepe dresses pass upand-down in never ending procession. Here and there is a dark blue or black satin brightened by a touch of colored embroidery. Colored embroidery and beads are particularly favored for trimming the the darker dresses that are brought out on cooler days. Purple on black, give exceptionally good results. White glass beads on dark blue serge is another effective suggestion. The Popular Hats Any number of white and colored felt hats in both small and large shapes are worn at present. The trimming is either a ribbon band, plain or plaited, or fruit or flowers cut out of silk or velvet and placed against the crown or on the brim. White hats of silk or satin with a flange of chiffon around the brim are also considered becoming. Some are trimmed with a large bow of white satin directly in front. © MCCALL Graceful Russian Dress The mid-season hats used for other occasions than sports are in large sailor shapes, also in small and medium sizes. White satin crowns with black velvet brims are highly favored, as well as the all-black and all-white hats. Sometimes the order is reversed and the crown is made of black velvet with the brim of white satin or straw. The trimming used on this type of hat is generally a wing fancy, or ribbon arranged in some attractive manner. Color is introduced in some of the large black hats for semi-dress wear, especially in those for the younger girls.

And that is the reason I'd like to have you right close to me.” So, then, to celebrate his successes, he gave a large reception, he was obliged to confess to one of his guests, “I've got,a lot of folks from the city that I don't know, und some from the country I know too well; but not one of my neighbors has come—not one gentle- man has put his foot here to night.” I suspect that Page -created Jona- dab Leeck, the “carpet-bayger? to match Hiram Still, the “scalawag”, And I would not accuse the one as more typical thin the other. But the author is true to his conception of Leech. and having made his.extremely successful in acquiring property by means of his xovenmental position, and also, having made him a power politi- cally, so that Leech sees ahead of him. the xovernorship of the great state; perhaps the senatorship; anjl_ there may be the Wihte House in the dis- tance, all of once his hone of cards tumbles, and Leech finds himself at last, without fortune or power, and so without friends, and left to the tender ministrations of the wife whom he had spurned in bis hour of sticcess And so again our author is true to life, and he says with emphasis, that no man can spend his years making the world pav trihnte to his selfishness, and at the end not come out, shorn of his friends, | “Human beings” says Washington | Gladden, “are made to live upon this | Planet and to find in mutual co-oper- ation a large part of the good of being.

Memory Verses, 31, 32—Golden Text, Acts xxii, 15—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. This chapter tells of the completion of Paul's return journey to Jerusalem from his third missionary tour and of some of the happenings there after his return. Our lesson two weeks ago was his farewell to the elders of the church at Ephesus who came to Miletus to meet him. Sailing by the south of the island of Cyprus, they landed at Tyre and, finding disciples, tarried there seven days. We may imagine what blessed fellowship they had in the word and in prayer and that wonderful farewell on the shore when men, women and children knelt in prayer. Knowing the message of the Spirit through the disciples that Paul should not go up to Jerusalem, they could scarcely refrain from feeling some anxiety about him, but they could only commit him to God, as they could not dissuade him from going on (verses 1-6). Continuing their voyage, we find them next at Caesarea at the home of Philip, the evangelist, one of the seven, whose four daughters did prophesy, and there they tarried many days, and again we may easily imagine the fellowship in the word and in prayer. We cannot think of Paul tarrying anywhere without speaking of Christ crucified, risen again, ascended, interceding and returning to set up His kingdom and always urging the believers to walk worthy of such a God and Saviour, who had called them to such a kingdom and glory and made them joint heirs with Himself. While at the home of Philip a prophet from Judea named Agabus came and testified strongly by the Spirit that at Jerusalem Paul would certainly be bound and given into the hands of the gentiles. Therefore he was once more urged by the believers not to go, but his reply was that he was ready to be found and to die also for the name of the Lord Jesus (verses 7-12). At the time of his conversion the Lord told Ananias that Paul would be called upon to suffer great things, and on this journey to Jerusalem Paul was impressed that something unusual awaited him. Yet nothing moved him, and he counted not his life dear unto himself if only he might glorify God (chapters ix, 15, 16; xx, 22; Phil. 1, 20). When he would not be persuaded even by the brethren at Caesarea to give up going to Jerusalem at this time they ceased pleading with him, saying, "The will of the Lord be done," and so the company went on their way to Jerusalem, accompanied by some disciples from Caesarea and an old disciple from Cyprus with whom they were to lodge (verses 14-16). When the spirit hindered Paul from going into Asia or Bithynia he yielded and obeyed (chapter xvi, 6, 7). Was he obedient now or somewhat self willed, or was he simply bold and fearless in doing what he believed to be right, knowing that it was part of his calling to suffer for Christ's sake and he must not shrink from it? Subsequent events and the words in verse 4 "that he should not go up to Jerusalem" would seem to indicate that this time he was a bit self willed. But it is one of those things that I am waiting to have cleared up in the kingdom, meanwhile desiring for myself more of his fearless' boldness and whole hearted devotion to the Lord. A glad welcome awaited him at Jerusalem from James and the elders, and as he declared in detail what things God had wrought among the gentiles by his ministry they glorified the Lord (verses 17-20). The record in verses 20-26 concerning the thousands of believing Jews who were zealous of the law and insisted upon circumcision and other customs for Jews who believed is to me another perplexity and does not look like the freedom wherewith Christ sets us free (John vill, 32-36; Gal v, 19). The suggestion of James and the elders that Paul shall seek to conciliate these custom keeping Jews by joining in this vow with four other men does not seem like the leading of the Spirit or in accord with Paul's stand, "Not as pleasing men, but God, who trieth our hearts" (I Thess. ii, 4; Gal. i, 10). Neither did it work out as they had hoped that it would, but led to a riot which moved the whole city, causing Paul to be cast out of the temple and beaten as they went about to kill him, necessitating his rescue from their hands by the chief captain and his soldiers (verses 27-32). As the captain could not understand what the uproar was about nor who Paul was nor what he had done, for some cried one thing and some another, he caused him to be bound and carried into the castle. As he was being borne by the soldiers up the castle stairs because of the violence of the people he asked permission to speak to the chief captain, who was surprised that he could speak Greek, and asked if he was not an Egyptian leader of a band of murderers (verses 33-38). As our Lord Jesus was numbered with transgressors, we must not think it strange when we are treated the same way and falsely accused or misjudged. When Paul told who he was and asked permission to speak to the people the captain granted it to him (verses 39, 40). Speaking of himself as a citizen of no mean city, reminds us of our citizenship (Phil. iii, 20, 21) and its privileges and responsibilities.

Two thousand persons took part in the monster industrial parade on Thursday which marched over the principal streets of the city. The display illustrated the progress made by the race in fifty years of freedom. Two hundred and ten automobiles and carriages were used, followed by the uniform ranks of the various secret societies on foot. Negro bands, with Negro drum majors, floats representing Negro business and other enterprises, united to make the parade fully two and a half miles long. Dr. Robert Russia Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, was given an ovation when he rose on Wednesday night to deliver his eulogy on Dr. Washington. The Kansas, City Sun showed enterprise by getting out a daily during the stay of the league. MEMORIAL In loving memory of my dear husband Richard Barnes, who departed this life September 2, 1911.
