Bryan, of Chehalis TOWN TOPICS In the personal column of the Seattle Republican last week we called attention to the fact that one W. D. Griffin, a well-known colored man about the city, had already begun collecting money from the business men of Seattle to defray the expenses of the colored folk holding a picnic on the fourth of August next in commemoration of the emancipation of the slaves in the West Indies in 1837. Year after year Griffin has done this self-same thing, and hundreds, if not thousands of dollars have been thus collected, which was nothing more nor less than obtaining money under false pretenses, and The Republican is of the opinion that some steps should be taken to stop such frauds being practiced upon the public. During the past three years Griffin has not only collected money for "us cullud folk's picnic," but, if reports be true, he has collected between $3,000 and $4,000 from the business men of this city, county and state under SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, MAY 27, 1904 [Portrait of a man in a suit with a tie and a boutonniere]. POSTMASTER. G. M. STEWART. pretext of going to build a public library for colored folk only, not a word of which is or was true. There is no doubt but that this is even a worse fraud than the picnic racket, and that, too, should be stopped. The colored folk of Seattle have no desire to have a separate library built for them nor do they have any desire or wish for the white folk of this city to raise a purse in order that they may have a good-time picnic, and the most, if not all, of the money raised under either of these banners is for Griffin himself to spend in ways that would not look well in print. \* \* \* Our readers well know that Seattle and King county have each recently appropriated the sum of $3,000 for the purpose of advertising the city and county at the St. Louis exposition. It appears at present that the commission appointed have decided not to use even the approximately meagre amount, but will confine their efforts to a small pamphlet to be arranged by the Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, and to cost a little more than one-sixth of the appropriation. An experienced man will probably be selected to go to St. Louis to distribute the folders, some pictures will be carried along, and Great Seattle will be about "steenth" in the efforts to advertise the state of Washington. A cheap folder—as contemplated among tons of elegant and appropriate literature, given for the asking, will be about as useful as so much chaff—especially if scattered broadcast and without judgment. The most feasible plan yet proposed, but not given consideration is, to interest the local press, and thereby secure the co-operation of every newspaper in the country. Special editions might be provided for at the expense of the proposed pamphlets and their influence and material provided would more than ten-fold the work as now proposed. Why not do the work well, with the funds on hand, or not do it at all? UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 BLICAN PRICE FIVE CENTS M. H. CAPT. G. B. LAMPING. which has given Mr. Carle hope. The scrap has reached that satge where a dark horse is not at all improbable which causes Lamping and his friends to believe he, on account of his soldier record, will be able to land. After all the odds are quite in Stewart's favor as Congressman Humphrey stands pat for Stewart. We wonder how many of our people know of the existence or importance to Seattle of the Alaska Club on the second floor of the new Oriental building? The club has elegantly furnished quarters where Secretary Green is always to be found. Charts, maps, photographs and other features are here to be found concerning Alaska and for the latter there is in all probability no finer collection of Alaska photographs to be found anywhere. Visitors to this city if at all interested in Alaska should call at the rooms of the Alaska club, where they will be right royally entertained by the genial secretary with his large and interesting collection of views and data concerning our extreme northern possessions. *** Well authenticated rumor has it that O. M. Moore is about to re-enter the field of local journalism, he having about concluded to purchase a weekly newspaper and rejoin the ranks of the most ancient and honorable order of "Pin-headed Pimps of the Country Press." Moore has now been practically out of active harness for the past ten years, when he left the hustling little city of Hoquiam, where he held the office of mayor, and was editor and proprietor of the Hoquiam Washingtonian. Mr. Moore will probably sell his pretty Seattle home and retire to country life. * * * A Christian home for all friendless and unfortunate girls and women who desire to lead a true, pure life, at 7015 Woodlawn avenue, Green Lake, Seattle; where loving hearts will be open to extend help, sympathy and love, to tenderly lift up the hopeless and cause new hopes and desires to enter the heart crushed by the tempest of humanity.

The State Press Association held its opening session on the Fair grounds last Wednesday in the Washington state building. Notwithstanding the absence of so many of the brethren from their desks and "alleys" the quotations from the country press of this state in this issue will he found unusually interesting as well as instructive and furnishing much food for thought. The country press is the bone and sinew of the country after all, the "forty thousand daily" circulation liars to the contrary notwithstanding, and even the great dailies themselves fear the opposition of the country press. The country press is however its worst enemy as the editor of one weekly seems to delight in sticking a knife into his brother editor. Despatches from St. Louis say Lovett M. Wood of Seattle was elected president of the Washington State Press Association. Mr. Wood is editor and proprietor of the Trade Register and is one of the most active newspaper men in the state. He is one of Seattle's foremost business men and is a leading member of the chamber of commerce. If the State Press Association can be made a success he will make it. The association next year will meet in Spokane. "Yes, Castle Rock will celebrate the nation's birthday," says the Cowlitz "Advocate." Now if she will only employ her favorite son, E. W. Ross, to speak on that occasion The Seattle Republican will guarantee her a splendid celebration, but of course she will. The Auburn Argus is correct in saying "The poolrooms have been kicked out of the city of Seattle by Mayor Ballinger." Now it would be a very wise and judicious move, we might add, if the mayor of Georgetown would follow in the wake of Mayor Ballinger. "Dr. J. I. Pogue," says the Hartline Standard "was nominated for joint senator for the district comprising Douglas, Okanogan and Ferry counties, and thereby defeating George B. Hurley." In the house of representatives in the last legislature Dr. Pogue made a brilliant record and we predict a more brilliant one for him as state senator. When the Kettle River Journal announces that, "no single individual carries the Democrats of the state of Washington in his pocket," it overlooked the fact that, though a majority of the delegates to the Democratic state convention at Olympia favored the aspirations of William Hearst, yet Senator George Turner succeeded in having no presidential candidate endorsed, which was practically instructing against Hearst. If Turner, therefore, does not carry a majority of the Democratic party in his pocket the editor hereof is "belly much mistaken." "A fool friend of Governor McBride arose in the state convention," so says the Washington Standard, "claiming to speak by authority, declared that his excellency would support the state ticket." Whether the "fool friend" spoke by authority or by his own accord we are unable to say, but if Governor McBride does not support the ticket then he belies all that he has said about party fealty during his entire lifetime. It is learned from the Centralia Chronicle that, "strong efforts are being made to have convicts and paupers employed to improve the roads of the county." Evidently organized labor is not very prominent thereabouts or a general strike would be ordered from the saw-mills to the kitchens by the labor unions under the banner of, "the county is unfair." The suggestion of the Port Orchard Independent that, "free mail delivery routes be established from Port Orchard south and east," is a good one. If done it certainly would put the farmers of the community in closer touch with the city, which, after all, is one of the greatest things toward improving the country homes. "Well, Mr. Mead, you surely have a hard row to hoe," says the Olympia "Capitol." If he does it will not be because the row will be full of Democrats, but full of sulky Republicans, and this we surmise will not be the case. A rather queer idea comes from the Walla Walla Argus when it says, "It has required three years for the public to learn that the editor has a mind of his own, and that he is nobody's fool." Are we to infer from the above that the editor of the Argus was just a bit reticent about having the public to understand he had a mind of his own? If he has a mind of his own and uses it, it seems to us that the public would have found it out in a very few days after it got in action. Speaking about the Democrats urging the nomination of George Turner for governor on the pretext that he will be able to catch a large number of Republican votes, the Colfax "Gazette" is of the opinion that, "that gentleman has done nothing that would cause the Republicans to vote for him." Oh yes, he did. He abused President McKinley Don't you remember? The Colfax "Commoner" is so deeply chagrined over the Tacoma convention that it will not dignify the ticket nominated there by calling it Republican, but will refer to "the bunch of railroad serfs as the "lobby ticket." If the Commoner was not a cotton-mouthed Democratic sheet such talk would sound reasonable, but being such it reminds us of the fabled dog "barking at the moon." The Oaksville "Courier" says: "There is an opening in this town for a good hardware store, and the chances are good for her to soon have a bank." All of which must mean that Oaksville is preparing to start on a boom expedition. "Hay went down to defeat, and the county division is again relegated to the rear," says the Davenport Tribune. We understood all the time that Mr. Hay went to the state convention ostensibly to endorse a railroad commission, incidentally to nominate Henry McBride for governor and himself for lieutenant governor, and not to divide Lincoln county. "Am I right?" With a vein of would-be satire the Elma Chronicle remarks: "The Perkins papers are now showing strong Democratic symptoms." Perhaps you know whereof you speak, inasmuch as you have undergone such a change of heart in past campaigns. Perkins' papers have no Democratic tendencies, and they have no reasons to have them. They are strictly Republican and will continue so until the end of the chapter. May 27, 1904. All of Eastern Washington is by no means incensed at the defeat of Governor McBride for the Big Bend "Empire" says: "We can see no good reason why every Republican paper in this state should not support the ticket nominated at Tacoma." There are others in your section who think just the same as you do, and in this you are all eminently correct. The Spokane "Outburst" wisely remarks: "When a politician bolts the ticket just because the minority in the convention cannot dictate to the majority it is pretty safe to conclude that there is more the matter with the individual than with the party." That sounds awfully good. In fact it is good. If the Republicans of this state would follow the advice of the "Leader" of Castle Rock they would take a rest from politics for a few months, but we understand that is their intention, and that the campaign will not open before the 15th of September, which is right and proper. "There seems to be no grounds for the belief that the West Side hogged the convention when we consider that, out of the nine state officers the East Side got three, and out of the five presidential electors four, and four delegates out of the ten to the national Republican convention," very laconically remarks the Mt. Vernon Argus. The "Statesman" of Walla Walla thinks the delegates from that county to the late Republican state convention did not show very mush love for the railroad commission when their first choice for governor was B. D.Crocker and their second George Baker of Klickitat county, these men both being rabid anti-commission men and they elected as railroad commission men. Being a long way from home evidently effected their county convention memory. The Statesman-Index advances the idea that the reason that the Republicans of Spokane will vote for Turner, if nominated for governor on the Democratic ticket, is because they expect that section of the country, which will be tapped by Mr. Turner's new railroad project, to be favorable to Spokane from a commercial standpoint if they endorse Mr. Turner's candidacy. Of course they hope Turner will never be elected, but they will get the trade just the same, hence purely for selfish reasons will they endorse Senator Turner's candidacy. The Columbia county Dispatch boldly announces that, "the state convention is over and the voters of this fair state can see the long sought railroad commission only glimmering in the distance." That's a most beautiful figure of speech, but we advise you not to "holler before you are out of the woods," for, if we are not mistaken, an election is to be held in November, and its he who laughs last that laughs best. Most people will agree with the Colton "News-Letter" in that "the legislature and county tickets of the Republican party should be composed of the best material that can be found in the county." Of course this does not always happen, but for the most part none but good men are nominated by the Republican party. Kensington and Rogers-Peet Clothing NOTHING BETTER W. B.

S. May 27, 1904. A row among the Republicans of Wisconsin has resulted in two tickets being named so far as state officers are concerned, but both factions are supporting the same presidential electors. Notwithstanding such an agreement, it is plain to be seen that the national ticket is very much weakened on account of the split among the Republicans, and it looks at this writing as if President Roosevelt stood a splendid show of losing the state next November. * * * After battling for almost a whole week the Republicans in the state convention in Illinois failed to nominate a state ticket and adjourned until the 31st of May, when they will again assemble and attempt to nominate a ticket. It has been given out that President Roosevelt has entertained fears over the split among the Republicans of Illinois and that his leaders and advisers will seek to heal up the breach between them before the convention assembles again in order that the success of the national ticket will not be put in jeopardy on account of their bickerings. * * - * The World's Press Parliament convened in St. Louis last Friday, and, according to the press despatches, it was the most notable gathering that has yet assembled on the fair grounds at St. Louis. Secretary Hay was the principal speaker on the occasion and his address was scholarly as well as diplomatic, showing him to be well versed on the affairs of the world. Editor Henry Watterson, of the Louisville Courier-Journal made the editorial talk of the occasion and vigorously attacked the editorial page of the papers of this age, saying they had prostituted their columns to the commercial spirit and greed so characteristic of this country. * * * Last Saturday the Methodist Episcopal general conference succeeded in electing the required eight bishops for the next quadrennial and the complete list is as follows: Joseph F. Berry, Chicago; Henry F. Spellmeyer, Newark, N. J.; Wm. F. McDowell, New York; James W. Bashford, Delaware, Ohio; W M. Burt, Rome, Italy; Luther B. Wilson, Baltimore, Md.; Thomas B. Neely, Philadelphia; J. R. Day, Syracuse, N. Y. A surprise, however, was in store for the conference when Bishop James R. Day, the eighth and last bishop elected, resigned before he had even assumed the duties of the office. No successor has as yet been chosen and no votes taken looking toward the election of a successor to Rev. Day. He desired to return to his missionary work as his excuse for not qualifying. * * * According to newspaper reports the railroad row between James J. Hill on the one part, and E. H. Harriman on the other, over the distribution of the Northern Securities company's stock is to soon reach an amicable settlement by the Northern Pacific passing to the control of the Harriman interests and of the Great Northern coming to Jim Hill, with the two having a joint control over the Burlington. In the suit between Hill and Harriman the supreme court decided in favor of Hill. * * * Hanna, Wyo., has recently received 115 colored families, who will work in the mines at that place. This place is one of the best and biggest mining camps in the West, and gives employment to more colored folk than all of the others combined, and, we are in- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN formed, pays better wages. The state of Washington has three mining camps that give employment to colored folk, but for some reason they are unable to hold them for any length of time. * * * If a report sent out from Texas can be believed, another exodus of Negroes from the South to the extreme West and North is about to materialize. A despatch sent out from that place May 15th says, hundreds of colored folk have already left this section and over 1,000 are preparing to go. Almost every train carries small bodies of from ten to fifty. They are for the most part settling in Southern California; some going to Washington and some even to British Columbia, where they are given employment in the mines almost as soon as they get there. Owing to the racial condition in that section of the country there is quite a disposition on the part of the colored folk to leave the South and find homes in the North. * * * "Bishop Turner of the African Methodist Episcopal church at a conference in Chicago said: 'God never made a white man. In the beginning all men were black, but in their wanderings on the earth many of them have become bleached. And in their unnatural pallor many of these bleached men, all of whom were made black at the beginning, now look with contempt and indifference—often with prejudice and hate—upon their brother, the Negroes, who have retained the color that God gave them.' The bishop may have overlooked some points in the history of the past, for instance, the chapter relating to the Shemites. Then again it is just as probable that the Caucasian did not bleach, but that his Ethiopian brother in his wanderings grew sunburned. There is a consoling thought for both races, however, and that is whether the white man be bleached or the black man tanned the fact still remain that all races are and will remain God's creatures."—Rosalia Citizen. * * * Eight classes of commodities contributed 96 per cent to American exports of farm products in 1903, the total shipments of which aggregated $874,479,451. Cotton headed the list with nearly $3,000,000 or 30 per cent of the total; grain and breadstuffs contributed $218,600,000, or 25 per cent., and animal and meat products $210,000,000, or 24 per cent., the three leading branches contributing 85 per cent. of farm products shipped. Adding tobacco, whose exports were valued at over $35,000,000; oil cake and oil cake meal, $19,830,279; fruits and nuts, over $18,000,000, and vegetable oils, over $16,000,000, gives a total of eight classes of products, each with an export value of over $10,000,000, that comprise almost 96 per cent. of the farm exports of 1903. According to a report prepared by the department fifth of the total farm production, estimated of agriculture the exports are about oneat $4,500,000,000 last year. Of shipments the United Kingdom takes about one-half, Germany about one-sixth, and France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Canada and Italy from 3 to 5 per cent. From 85 to 90 per cent. of the total goes to Europe, 6 to 7 per cent. to Central America, and less than 2 per cent. to Asia, South America, Africa and Oceania.

Seattle does not aspire to be a great seaport for she is already that, but she does aspire to hold what she already has. That yellow journalism is responsible for three fourths of the crime committed in this country can be seen from the way the Times is handling the Baker From the mixed war reports from the Orient the "man behind the gun" seems to be just as effective in the Russian as in the Japanese army. In his desperation Bryan threatens to resurrect the Populist party in order to beat Parker. If he does Bryan will, for once, to his horror, see the ghost walk. With a Cannon for the national campaign it will be an easy matter for the Republicans to get in some very effective boom work. work. Mother Earth got the shakes in and about Sitka the other day which must have been the aftermath of another periodical political upheaval in Alaska. If the wind-bag of the Blethen family has not been punctured by the Brainerd tacks of the P.-I. something worse has happened, for for once black face abusive editorials have been rather scarce in the Times. If Mr. Carnegie really means what he says and wants to die poor, let him entertain a few friends at St. Louis this summer and he will realize in a very short time what he has long prayed for. Cleveland's label, "I never entertained a Negro," might make a presidential base hit for him if so many of the voters did not believe the ex-president has shamefully prevaricated in denying the charge. Mr. John Davis, a well known realty dealer of this city, thinks South America would prove a second Klondike for Seattle if her merchants would only go after the trade. Mr. Davis generally knows what he is talking about, and that gentle hint should be quite sufficient to move the merchants to be up and doing. The war situation in the Orient seems badly mixed at this writing, and, if the press despatches can be relied upon, the Japanese army is losing. Last Tuesday's despatches declared that the Japs lost 15,000 men in a futile attack on Port Arthur. The Japs during the past week have also lost a number of battleships, which gives Russia, for the week's work, a decided advantage over the little brown men. The state of Pennsylvania is suffering from an over supply of Slavs, who are supplanting all other kind of foreigners in the coal mines of that section. Pennsylvania always was known as the "Keystone State." The state of Illinois is troubled with a peculiar religious sect, who worship the sun as a cure for ailments and complaints. We never thought that a Chicagoite could ever worship anything but the Almighty dollar. If Mr. Bryan was correct in his statement, "Money stupefies the conscience," he must be in a very stupid condition just now as he made thousands of dollars since he was first nominated for President. "I admire you very much, Mr. President, but I am not willing to become a tail to your presedintial kite by being nominated for vice-president." Holy Moses is it possible that Teddy will be forced to go it alone. Just why the city authorities would issue a license to a dirty, measly, mangy dog show to even be in town on the same day that the Grand Army parades is the perplexing question, but perhaps some one got a rake-off, and if so that's a "hoss" of another color. Edward Comyns, a Seattle U. S. Land office clerk, who sold the secrets of the office to land grabbers, has lost his job. If it could be Comyns was given a term in the penitentiary it would prove a salutary lessons for those similarly employed. The politician who permits himself to be worked by such a man as O. W. Griffin on the pretext of delivering the colored vote ought to be worked until he is not able to buy a mess of salmon eggs for his own hungry stomach. Griffin cannot deliver his own vote much less 1,200 colored votes. Dividing the state of Washington as advocated by the Clarkston Republican may be a very pretty theory, but it is by no means probable. However, if Eastern Washington and the Idaho pan handle desire to form a separate state Western Washington should help it along rather than oppose it. "If King county does not buckle on her armor and go after the senatorship in dead earnest, and in a practical way, she won't be in it when the next legislature convens. I am not in for making a losing fight and do not intend to do it," said a well-known county politician one day this week, and others voice the same sentiment. Tacoma's political preacher has again won his spurs as a Raider by storming the M. E. general conference single handed and alone and forcing it to elect him to the editorship of the official organ of the church in the Northwest. He will be located in Portland and for the next four years will write instead of talk. --- May 27, 1904. Unless the Pie-maker is sadly mistaken, James F. McElroy, the Northern Pacific resident counsel, and L. C. Gilman, the Great Northern resident counsel, will dominate the next Democratic county convention, and through J. W. Godwin, chairman of the state Democratic committee, will absolutely dominate the next state convention and will do so even if Senator Turner is nominated for governor. The Cheney Free Press is to be congratulated for its special edition, which is a brief review of Cheney and its immediate surroundings. Its a splendid advertising medium for that city and county and the business men should see to it that a number of copies of the edition are sent to the World's fair for distribution as well as to other points where they would fall into the hands of persons looking toward the West. On the pretext that W. H. Brinker would get a great many Republican votes if nominated for one of the superior court judges, has moved the Democrats to almost be a unit for his nomination. Mr. Brinker is an old political curiosity shop and just as odd as he is old and if he is nominated he will run behind his ticket. This queer old genius is a legal fossil and a politically dead one and to resurrect him would simply be sacreligious. Curios, whether Democratic or Republican, make poor party candidates. Occasionally one hears some disgruntled politician say: "Kenneth Macintosh, noninee for prosecuting attorney, will have a hard row to hoe in order to be elected." Bosh, nonsense, he will run neck and neck with his ticket, and if Jay Allen happens to be his Democratic opponent, dollars to doughnuts, he will run 500 ahead of his ticket. He is able, honorable, and sufficiently versed in the law to make as capable and successful a prosecuting attorney as King county ever had. No one, whether a bolter or a sulker, has dared to say one unkind or condemnatory word against A. E. Mead, Republican gubernatorial candidate. In fact all of them have a good word to say of him both personally and otherwise, but they condemn him for accepting the nomination at all. Such clap trap is puerile, and in fact real silly, and the Pie-maker predicts that Republicans will vote for a clean candidate on their party ticket and trust to his sense of manhood to represent all of the people and their industries if elected the state's chief magistrate, as he surely will be. The Seattle Daily Times has had much to explain as well as complain of in the past week. In a long editorial the Times felt called upon to explain why Col. Blethen had been sued by his Minneapolis victims. Then in a long black face editorial it complained of the P.-I. getting as much for its advertising space as the Times, and that too despite the fact that the Times had twice the circulation of the P.-I. Then again it was called upon to explain an editorial squib in the "P.-I.", which said that Blethen had been refused a membership to the Rainier Club. In denying the latter charge it used its familiar term, "crack-brained whelp," in reference to Brainerd, which of itself proved that Blethen was guilty as charged by Brainard. On the whole, the editor of the Times has been getting a good deal the worst of the scrap between the P.-I. and the Times.

The Negro in the Army (Omaha, Neb., “Progress.’’) Outside of the army itself very few peo- ple know that Uncle Sam has on his long pay roll, eight Negro commissioned officers of his army, three of these being line offi- cers, while the others are chaplains and a payrvaster, generally known as non-combat- ants. By the army organization act of July 28, 1866, there were designated four regiments the enlisted strength of which was to be made up entirely of Negroes. These organ- izations are now known as the Ninth and Tenth Regiments of Cavalry, and the Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth Regiments of Infantry, and since their formation thesc Negro regiments have had assigned to them a Negro chaplain. The pay of a chaplain is $1,800 a year, or that of his rank (captain, not mounted), but there is now a bill before this Congress to give to fifteen of the most worthy chaplains the rank and pay, etc., of a major—$2,500 per annum. Probably the best known of all the Negro chaplains is Allen Allensworth, now on duty with the Twenty-fourth Infantry at Fort Harrison, Mont. Chaplain Allensworth has seen much active duty, and his service with the “fighting Twenty-fourth,” which did good work in Cuba, has been continuous. since his entry into the army, on April 1, 1886. He was born in and appointed from Kentucky, and is the oldest of all the Negro chaplains, both in age and length of service. He will retire April 7, 1906. Next to him as to age and service is Theo- philus G. Steward, a native of New Jersey, who was appointed on July 20, 1891, from the District of Columbia, and assigned to that other fighting infantry regiment, the “brunette Twenty-fifth,” which also did gal- lant work in the trenches before Santiago de Cuba. His service has also been con- tinuous with the regiment to which he was first assigned. He is a graduate of the West Philadelphia Divinity School, Penn- sylvania, and will retire for age on April 17, 1907. The present chaplain of the gth cavalry is George Washington Prioleau, a native of South Carolina, but appointed from Ohio, April 25, 1895, and graduated from Wilber- force University, Ohio, in 1884. All of his service has been with the Ninth Cavalry, now stationed at Fort Walla Walla, Wash. He has sixteen years of service before him, not retiring for age until May 15, 1920. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN te a sie a A g : f aa - a \ rail a ag ' } Xx s y ee George Washington Prioleau The last of these chaplains is William T. Andersen, now with his regiment, the Tenth Cavalry, which has also seen service in Cuba and the Philippines. | Chaplain Anderson was born in the Lone Star state, but appointed from the fortunate buckeye on August 16, 1897. He is a graduate of Harvard University, D. C., and Cleveland Homeopathic ‘Hospital College, Ohio. He is at present with his regiment at Fort Rob- inson, Neb. He is the baby of the Negro chaplains, his service not ending until April 20, 1923. Chaplain Allensworth is of the Baptist denomination, while the other three are of the African Methodist Episcopal. The last of the Negro staff officers of the army is John R. Lynch, of the Pay De- partment, who entered the service in June, 1898, as an additional paymaster of volun- teers, with the rank of major, which posi- tion he held for three years, until honorably discharged in May, 1901, when he was ap- pointed to the permanent establishment or regular army as paymaster, with the rank of captain. He is a native of Louisiana, but was appointed from Mississippi. As the promotions in the Pay Corps will be very slow for years to come, and on-account of his advanced age, Paymaster Lynch will most likely retire at his pnesent rank of cap- tain when his time comes, on September 10, IQIt. The only Negro officer of the army that May 27, 1904. is Charles Young, now a captain of the Ninth Cavalry stationed at the Presidio, of San Francisco, Cal. Capt. Young entered the Military Academy in 1884, and was not graduated until 1889, when he was commis- sioned as additional second lieutenant and assigned to the Tenth Cavalry, where he remained only about one month, when he was transferred to the Twenty-fifth Inian- try, as a second lieutenant, but in this regi- ment he remained only twenty-seven days, when he was again transferred to the Ninth Cavalry, where he remained until promoted to first lieutenant, on December 22, 1890, when he was assigned to the Seventh Caval- ry, a white regiment. He remained with this regiment for about ten months, until he made a transfer back to his old and present love, the Ninth Cavalry, where his service has been continuous since ( He was promoted a captain in February, 1goT, and 109 captains will have to move out of the way before he becomes a field officer with the rank of major. Capt. Young was appointed a major of the Ninth Ohio Colored Infantry during the war with Spain. He will not retire for age until 1923. To enter the army as a second lieutenant one must be either a graduate of the United States Military Academy or-come frow the ranks as an enlisted man, after at least two years’ service, be single, and under thirty years of arge, receive an appointment from the President. from civil life, be single, aund under twenty-seven years of age. There are two Negro officers who have won their spurs by coming up from ‘he line by the competitive examination sysicm, a they are Lieut. Benjamin O. Davis, of the Tenth Cavalry, now stationed at [ort Washakie, Wyo., and Lieut. John E. Green, Twenty-fifth Infantry, now serving with Company H, at Fort Reno, Okla. Both of these are excellent officers, and have had much experience in the army. Lieutenant Davis, when only 21 years old, was apointed a first heutenant of the Eighth United States Volunteer Infantry (Jmmunes), and served as such until honor- ably mustered out in March, 1899. ~ This experience probably gave him the taste for an army career, which no doubt will be his life’s vocation, for in June of 1899 he enlisted as a private, and was assigned to Traop T. Ninth Cavalry. By study and close appli- cation to his duties he was successively pro- moted to corporal and squadron sergeant- major of the Ninth Cavalry; thus, in less than two years having gone from the bot- tom to the top of the ladder for an enlisted man. Being eligible to take the examina- tion for enlisted men for appointment as a second lieutenant, he was designated as such after the usual preliminat, examinations, was appointed as such, with date of commission from February 2, 1901. He is a fine specimen physically, so alto- gether he has the make-up of a good officer. Lieut. Green’s career is somewhat similar to that of his brother officer, for in 1889 he enlisted in Company H of the ‘Twenty- fourth Infantry, evidently with a view toa commission for as soon as eligible he also took the necessary examinations, and, like Davis, succeeded in pulling down a second lieutenantcy. The pay of a second lieuten- ant, mounted, is $1,500 yearly, while that Pe Soe RCS SET eta Dee mn. Pim ay eee ae eae or ae “Do we, or do we not, eat too much?” is asked by a medical journal.

GENERAL CONFERENCE. A Resume of the General Conference and Its Work. This Great Christian Organization Has ..Completed Its Quadrennial Session and the Members Have Returned to Their Individual Fields of Labor. The African Methodist Episcopal Church is a great religious body. It numbers fully 800,000 members, was organized in Philadelphia in 1787 by Richard Allen, who was elected the first bishop, and the growth in the past forty years has been marvelous. Prior to 1787 all followers of Wesley of African blood belonged to the Methodist Episcopal Church, and those who are familiar with the organization of the African M. E. Church say that on one occasion Richard Allen and a number of other Afro-American worshippers were ordered up from the altar at St. George M. E. Church in Philadelphia, which order they obeyed, and when they got up, they also got out and organized a church where Afro-American Christians could serve God unmolested. It was in 1816 that the first general conference was held and elected Richard Allen the first bishop, but as long as many of them were slaves it was not possible to make much headway. It was after the emancipation of the slaves that they started its growth, until today some of the best church edifices in this country are owned by the African Metodist Episcopal Church. The general conference has met every four years since 1816 to review the work, make laws and elect general superintendents. These meetings bring The Crescent Lawn Mower IS EASY TO RUN 12 inch $3.25 14 inch $3.50 16 inch $3.75 Spelger & Hurlbut Second and Union together some of the leading men of the race, those who are conservative, together with the radical class. At the head of the church are thirteen bishops, who represent much of thought and work of the Afro-Americans in the United States. They are men of ability and experience. Bishop H. M. Turner, who has distinguished himself by advocating the Afro-American's departure from America to Africa, is the senior bishop. The people do not consider him serious in this, hence have not accepted his suggestion. The people have followed the example of Bishop Turner, remaining in this country. Bishop Wesley J. Gaines, D. D., is next in order. He was born in Georgia and was a slave of Rebort Toombs. He entered the work of the ministry at an early age, and on account of his worth was promoted to the highest office of his church. Bishop B. W. Arnett the statistician of the church, was born in Pennsylvania in 1838. He was a member of the Ohio Legislature, and was a friend of the late President McKinley. Bishop B. T. Tanner is also a native of Pennsylvania, where he still resides. The office of department of finance is located in Washington, D. C., with the Rev. E. W. Lampton, D. D., of Greenville, Miss., as secretary. Dr. Lampton represents the possibility of the young men of the South. He was slave born, educated himself, and became one of the leaders in Mississippi. He is at the head of the Stringer Grand lodge of Masons, which institution raised and distributed among its widows and orphans $87,592 in one year, and it has been declared that it will greatly exceed that amount this year. Dr. Lampton in his report showed that the receipts of the financial department during the last four years had been $533,994.28, an increase over the last quadrenium of $130,586.66. The church extension department has as its secretary the Rev. B. F. Watson, D. D., of Indianapolis, Ind. This is called the 'savings bank' of the church, as money is raised and spent to assist in paying off church debts and is loaned with interest to churches. The plan has met with great success and much is being done to pay off the indebtedness of all the churches and to erect more. Dr. Watson succeeded Bishop Shaffer and his administration has been the most successful in the history of the church. The Rev. W. D. Chappelle, a native of South Carolina, is at the head of the Sunday school department, with offices located in Nashville, Tenn. There the literature for the schools of the African M. E. church is printed and distributed. Through the Sunday schools is where they strive to reach the youth. The missionary department has headquarters in New York City and the Rev. H. B. Parks, D. D., is the secretary. This department has in its hands the raising of money to prosecute the home and foreign missionary work of the whole church. The missionaries are paid from this fund. Dr. Parks went from the West to New York eight years ago to succeed Bishop Derrick, who was elevated to the episcopacy. $1,000 FO 14TH ANN SA Ends Tuesd SEE DAIL ALL CARS TRANSFER TO THE BON MA $1,000 FOR CHARITY 14TH ANNIVERSARY SALE Ends Tuesday, May 31st SEE DAILY PAPERS ALL CARS TRANSFER TO THE BON MARCHE MAIL ORDERS FILLED John R.

His work is that of insurance. The Rev. H. T. Johnson of Philadelphia is editor of the Christian Recorder, Dr. G. F. Taylor is editor of the Southern Christian Recorder, the Rev. J. Frank McDonald of the Western Christian Record the Rev. C. M. Tanner of the South African Christian Recorder, while the department of Christian Endeavor is under the charge of the Rev. B. W. Arnett, Jr., of Springfield, Ohio. A strong resolution was adopted against dancing, card playing, and whiskey drinking. The members were told they were no longer to send their children to saloons for beer and stay in the church. It was declared necessary to do one thing or the other, and they were told to take their choice. Mrs. J. E. Hawkins returned from her visit at Tacoma last Tuesday. Miss Myrtle Warmack is the guest of Miss Georgia Selby this week. Mr. J. E. Shepperson of Roslyn is doing business in Seattle this week. Rev. Freeman is making preparations to begin building on the new church at an early date. Mr. M.
