Supplied by National News Bureau A COURAGEOUS BISHOP RESUKES GRAFT Birmingham, Ala.—Before the North Alabama conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, Bishop J. W. Alstork, of Montgomery, who is presiding, let it be known in no uncertain language that he could not be influenced in his work by any special gifts or offerings and discouraged that practice on the part of the ministers in the conference. He told the ministers plainly that the only thing that could commend them would be faithful service to the church and race. "Making me special donations will not help at all," said Bishop Alstork. "I would rather not have them, and I cannot discourage the practice too emphatically. In the first place, the preachers in a negro conference have not enough money to be making the bishop presents, and, in the second place, the church has provided for the bishop. For my part, I am perfectly satisfied with the provision the church has made for me, and I am expected to serve it and my God. I can neither be bought nor sold, and will not be influenced in the performance of my duty one iota by such gifts." Says Army and Navy Haven't Enough Men to Enforce Prohibition Laws New York City, N. Y.—Mr. Hugh F. Fox, the well-known publicist, spoke a few Sunday evenings ago at the Sunday Evening Forum of the Free Synagogue, of which Dr. Stephen S. Wise, the Jewish orator, is rabbi and leader, on the subject, "The Futility of Prohibition." Mr. Fox pointed out that in the nineteen states which now have prohibition, the people are inclined to drink inferior spirits, rather than the lighter beverages which they could get in a license state. The fact that beer and wine were too difficult to conceal on account of their bulk explained it, he said. Speaking of national prohibition, Mr. Fox declared that a prominent government official had once told him that to enforce national prohibition would require a police force as large as our army and navy put together. Revival at St.Paul Chapel St. Paul A. M. E. Church is in the midst of a great revival The meeting is being conducted by Rev. J. G. Robinson, D. D., of Arkansas. He is one of the greatest revivalists and speakers in the African Methodist Church. He will be here for more than two weeks. Dr Robinson has conducted great meetings in Chicago, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, New York, Cleveland, Cineinnati, New Orleans, Atlanta and many other large cities, where thousands have been converted, and joined the church. Dr Robinson, unlike many other evangelists, does not make spectacular demonstrations of any kind. He preaches in a simple and forceful manner, so that the most illiterate, as well as the best informed, can understand him. His stories and anecdotes are pathetic, and at once reach the hearts of the hearers. His sermon on "The Prodigial Son" last Sunday was a masterly effort, and so pleased the great congregation at St. Paul, that many pronounced it the best they ever heard that particular subject. Dr Robinson is one of the best known ministers in his church. He is considered to be the articles under caption "Just a Few Dots-That's All," appear from time to time in The Freeman, The New York Age and the different connectional papers, and are read with great interest throughout the country. He is a magnetic speaker on other than religious subjects. He has spoken throughout the country in several presidential campaigns. He made forty-seven speeches in Missouri in interest of Theodore Boosevelt in the last presidential campaign. Large and appreciative audiences have greeted Dr. Robinson each night during the week. He will deliver two of his most effective discourses Sunday. Everybody invited to attend. Mr. W. M. Lewin, one of the greatest Gospel singers of the age, will sing Sunday and throughout the meeting. Come, hear this great singer. THE BOY SCOUTS Mr. H. H. Simmions, Scout Commissioner of the city, will lecture the Jay Scouts, troup 14 under the direction of Prof. Giles, Wednesday, February 16 at St. James Church, Penilton and St. Ferdinand, the Y. M.

A Grand Charity Carnival, for the benefit of the Old Folks' Home will be given at the Pythian Temple Auditorium, Pine and Compton, Monday evening, February 28. A general call has been sent out from the home for assistance and investigation has disclosed desperate conditions. It is hoped that the citizens will rally to the support by attending the carnival en mass. Jas. W. Grant, "The Old Campaigner" has agreed to manage the affair. A On Wednesday of this week the Supreme Court at Jefferson City handed down a decision in the Turpin-Powers contest for the office of constable in the Fourth District of this city. The readers of "The Argus" are familiar with the history of this case. Charles H. Turpin was the Republican candidate for re-election as constable in November, 1914, against A. W. Powers, Democrat. Powers received the election certificate. A contest was instituted by Anyone knowing the whereabouts of Miss Malfinda Fields, formerly of Tahlequah, Okla., should notify Captain Johnson, of the Laclede Police Station, or "The Argus" office. Her mother, Mrs. Alice Richardson, is very ill, and would be glad to see her. APPROACHING MARRIAGE Special to the Arguis: Winchester, Tenn.—Mrs. Sallie Mann, of Winchester, Tenn., wishes to announce the engagement of her daughter, Katie G., to Rev. J. K. Parker, pastor of Pleasant Green Baptist Church, St. Louis, Mo. Miss Mann is the daughter of the late Rev. Wm. Mann, who was pastor of Mt. Olive Baptist Church, at Winchester. ,ZION OFFICIAL SHORT $9,000 CHURCH FUNDS Birmingham, Ala.—Because of an alleged shortage of more than $9,000 in his accounts as financial secretary of the A. M. E. Zion Church, the Rev. J. S. Jackson was summarily dismissed from that office and the Aetna Accident and Liability Company, which bonded him, was called on for a settlement. The board of finance discovered in December that there was a shortage of the funds in bank and in the hands of the secretary, but by his request he was given until January 11 to make a settlement. When he submitted his report on January 12, showing that there ought to be in his hands $19,112.28, the secretary claimed that about $4,000 of this amount had been lost in the failure of the Alabama Penny Savings Bank. VILLAGE CLAN MEETS Dearest memories of childhood days and a meeting of the "Village Clan" was celebrated at the Carnation Cafe, 6044 Lawton Avenue, Thursday, February 3. A happy evening was spent in music and old recitations of school days. F. H. Hunter's opening address, reminiscent of youthful days, was touching. Miss Daisy Collins sang "In Dear Old Tennessee." The Village Quartette, N. Anderson, W. B. Anderson, Hookey Drane and P. Dix, made a big hit. Grant Woodson started the fun reciting, "I Never Chew Tobacco." Ty Cobb rendered his masterpiece, "Frosty Is the Morning and the Corn Pone's Hot." Charles Hunter and Ed Dix starred with heavy silence. The Clan holds a literary every Thursday night. The public is cordially invited. Don't fail to hear Dr. J. G. Robinson, who will speak to women only at St. Paul, Sunday, at 2:30 p. m. series of prizes from $5 to $25 in gold will be given.

The two organizations are conducting the segregation campaign and the "Home Defender" is their official organ. JIM CROW LINKED WITH SEGREGATION At a meeting held under the auspices of the United Welfare Association at the Rock Church (Catholic) Grand and Finney, Avenues, Sunday, one of the principal speakers stated that "Negroes should have separate compartments in street cars so that they could enjoy the company of their own race and not be snubbed by the whites." The segregation agitators plan to Jim Crow the Negro if they win February 29. UNION MEMORIAL ANTI-SEGREGATION MEETING FEB.14 DR. J. W. E. BOWEN, OP ATLANTA, PRINCIPAL SPEAKER. SUBJECT. "SOCIAL CHANGES IN A DEMOCRACY FOR ALL PEOPLE." There will be an anti-segregation meeting at Union Memorial Church, corner Leffingwell Avenue and Pine Street, Monday, February 14, at 8 p.m. sharp. Dr. J. W. E. Bowen, of Atlanta, Ga., will be the speaker of the evening. Dr. B. G. Shaw, pastor Metropolitan Church, presides. Prof. Frank L. Williams, of Sumner High School, will introduce Dr. Bowen. Dr. Bowen is one of the greatest men that the negro race has produced. He will discuss residential segregation under the subject of "Social Changes in a Democracy for All Peoples." Many white citizens are saying that "We thought you colored people wanted segregation, because you are not letting the people know that you are against it." Of course this saying is just a "dodge," but to be able to bring together one thousand persons in this great meeting and get it well published through the press of the city will refute the statement. If this meeting is small and lacks interest it will give emphasis to such an opinion. The cooperation of every organization in the city is desired and requested for the greatest effect on the public from this meeting. There will be some expense attached to bringing Dr. Bowen here and to meet the expenses of this meeting we hope that everyone, as far as he is able, will leave a silver offering at the door. Create all the sentiment possible for this meeting and let it be a popular uprising of the negro of this city to maintain his own freedom. ENTHUSIASTIC SEGREGATION MEETING A large audience composed almost entirely of persons from various sections of the city, who are actively engaged in race advancement, listened to discussions on the progress of the pro and anti-segregation campaign, at West End Hall Sunday afternoon. The meeting was one of the most interesting held on the subject. Short talks were made by Mr. Parker, Dr. W. P. Curtis, Geo. B. Vashon, Attorney Geo. L. Vaughn and Miss Kathryn Johnson. A substantial collection, to aid the fight against the measure was offered. Homer G. Phillips was chairman. Walter B. Cathrell, secretary. MINISTERS IN LINE The ministers of the colored congregations of the city are lined up to make a determined fight against segregation. At a recent meeting a committee was appointed to call on both the Republican and Democrat City Committees for their support in the fight against segregation.

PETER HARRIS life; that book is the Gospel by John, see John 30: 30:1. God has given another book for those who believe, particularly that they may know that they have eternal life; that book is the First Epistle of John, see our text, I John 5:13. If you are not a Christian, the book for you to study is the Gos- pel by John; if you are a Christian and not sure of your salvation, you should study the First Epistle of John. After John Wesley had been preaching some time, but without results, someone said to him: "Are you sure, Mr. Wesley, of your salvation?" Wesley replied he was sure that provision had been made for his salvation, "But, are you sure, Mr. Wesley, that you are saved?" It itwant like an arrow, and he had no rest until he was sure of his salvation. But is it not presumptuous for one to say, "I know. I am saved!" Certainly not, if one really does know he is saved. It honors God and Christ, "for by grace are ye saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God." Paul was able to say, "I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day." Why should this not be your testimony, if you are a Christian? It can be if your assurance centers in Christ. Your church membership does not save you. No church on earth can save a man. It's sad, but true, there are undoubtedly multitudes of unconverted church members who are lost. It is not the church, but Christ, who saves. "There is none other name under heaven, given among men whereby we must be saved." If you are depending upon your morality, it won't save you. Nothing is quite so dishonoring to God and Christ as a sinner's boastful righteousness, which God says is in his sight as filthy rage. To pay your debts, to be a good, true husband or wife, parent or neighbor, does not constitute you a Christian. A Christian is one who, having accepted by faith the Lord Jesus Christ as his Savior, is born from above. Thus he becomes a partaker of the divine nature and will manifest in his life the life of God. See Titus 3:5. Again, let me say that you are not saved because you feel you are saved. You can feel saved, and be lost. I board a train. Someone says, "Are you sure you are on the right train?" "Oh, yes, I'm on the right train." "Well, how do you know you are?" "Oh, because I feel I am." "Nonense," the person would say. "You can't depend upon your feelings in this matter; what you need is not feeling, but fact." So the right order in the matter of salvation is fact, faith, feeling. If I can believe what man says, assuredly I can believe what God says. See I John 5:9-13. We do accept the testimony of men; why then should we not accept the testimony of God who says "He that hath the Son hath life!" The matter for us to decide is whether we have the Son or not, for upon this depends whether we are saved or not. "He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life," John 3:38. It is for us to receive by faith God's gift of his Son. If we really and truly do this, God will do his part—give unto us eternal life. To believe on the Lord Jesus Christ is not simply to believe that he is the Son of God, the Savior of the world. "The demona," we read, "believe and tremble." Saving faith is a personal appropriation of Christ as one's own Savior. When I was a boy I was greatly helped by the testimony I used to hear in the Railroad Y. M. C. A. on Sunday afternoons, from old Mr. Babbage, for years the sexton of the Brick Prasbyterian church, Rochester, N. Y. Mr. Babbage had the palay and with faltering, stammering tongue he gave his testimony. So far as I can remember it never varied and today I thank God for the oft-repeated testimony of his child, Leaning heavily on the chair in front of him, in faltering accents he would say: "John three thirty-six, he—that believeth—on the Sow—hands, hands, present tense, thank God, ever-lasting life." LEBSON TEXT-Phil. 1:1-11 GOLDEN TEXT-For ye know the sacrifice of Christ though he was rich yet for your sales he became poor, that ye through his poverty might become rich.-II Cor. 8:2. The key word of the first chapter of Philippians is "confidence" (see vv. 6, 14, 25). Paul has confidence in the church at Philippi on account of their spiritual condition (vv. 1, 2), which resulted in fellowship (vv. 3-8) and fruitfulness (vv. 9-13). This confidence inspires boldness and is a source of joy and blessing. Paul's creed is also set forth in chapter 1:5-11. This confidence is in the face of the conflict and suffering which was before them (see 1:7-30). 1. Be of the Same Mind, vv. 1-4. The key word of this chapter is the word "comfort" (vv. 1, 19). The first section might be entitled "The Comfort of Love" (vv. 1,18) and the second section "The Comfort of Knowledge" (vv. 19-30). If there was to be opposition from without certainly the Christians ought to stand together. Paul is urging them to unity in order that it might comfort and console him. He had always rejoiced in this church (1:4), but he desires them to "fill full his joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind." Paul's comfort of love in the disciples he anticipated would be due to their state of mind, which depended upon (a) unity (vv. 1,2); (b) humility (vv. 3); (c) that they might "mind the things of others" (vv. 4). Nothing would so comfort and console, or so gladden the heart of Paul as such unity. It was even so with the heart of our Lord (see John 17:21). The words "be of the same mind" do not refer merely to a unity of opinion, but rather to a unity of purpose and affection, literally "being souled together." II. Let This Mind. Which Was Also in Christ Jesus, vv. 5-8. The second comfort of love was due, not to a unity of mind, but to the standing which Paul and this church had in Christ, due to his (Christ's) standing in God. The words of this passage are among the most wonderful to be found anywhere in the Bible. They contain a statement of the most profound truth and mystery that we have regarding the person of our Lord Jesus Christ. No plummet has sounded their depth, nor rod scaled their height, nor tape measured their breadth. His eternal deity—and on the other hand his amazing self-humiliation—yet these facts and truths are brought before us to enforce the homeliest duties of every day life. Equal to God (John 10:30) yet he gave up his divine glory and incarnated himself in the historical Jesus, was anointed of God, died on a Roman cross, buried in Joseph's tomb, yet rose again and is alive today as much as when he walked o'er Galliee's hills. The mind that was in Jesus was a purpose to choose the lowest depth of humiliation rather than a full equality with God, either choice of which he might have made; but he chose the former—creation's most sublime illustration of self-sacrifice—and this is the mind we should have. The word "robbery" implies a thing to be seized hold of. Instead of seizing hold of equality with God, Jesus let go and seized hold of the death on the cross, and thus made himself of no reputation, literally emptied himself. The context shows of what he emptied himself: (a) his divine form; (b) his divine glory. This latter is shown by his birth in a stable and his death upon a cross, thereby being under the curse of God (Gal. 3:13). But this was an act of obedience to God (v. 8). The father bade him to do it. The sacrifice of Christ had its original source in the will of God—his love towards us (John 3:16, Rom. 5:8). There are three thoughts in this passage: (a) the incarnation; (b) the passion; (c) the exaltation. Keep this in mind and remember Paul's circumstances in prison when he wrote this letter. III. God Also Hath Exalted Him, vv. 9-11. The result of this comfort of love, due to a state of mind on the part of the disciples and their having the mind of Christ, was first the exalation of Christ (v. 9), and the giving unto him of "the" name, not "a" name, that is above all other names; and secondly, worship on the part of all God's creation, every knee bowed in submission; and third, confession (v. 11). Jesus, who humbled himself to the lowest place, God has exalted to the highest place. Humiliation of self is the path to exaltation by God. The name "Jesus" is above every name, because Jesus has been exalted above every man. The phrase "every knee shall bow" is a clear expression of the oneness of Jehovah and Jesus. Notice that those that bow are in heaven, in earth and in Hades (Rev. 5:1). Even lost men and angels who will not bow now will have to do so some day through it will then have an saving power in it for them.

ANNIVERSARY OF LINCOLN AND DOUGLASS Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass were born in the same month, about the the same week in February, and hence we commemorate annually their many great deeds on the same day. So much has been said about Lincoln and Douglass, and so much more can be said, that there seemingly is no danger of exhausting the subject even by the genius of the present generation. Both were self-made. Both climbed to the top of the ladder by force of spiritual buoyancy, moral and intellectual hardihood, and both, with marvelous strength, drove onward and pulled against the current. Lincoln came out of the loins of "the poor white trash" of the South, and Frederick Douglass, without the protection of a father or the care of a mother, merely vegetated amidst conditions of villainy and brutality. No Sunday-school, no Bible, no family altar, no instructions in the fundamental principles of our moral and social existence, was Douglass blessed with as he grew into manhood. Lincoln had the white man's inalienable right of freedom. Douglass had the inalienable right which the white man assigned to the Negro—of slavery. Both grew great and famous. Lincoln was great in state; Douglass great in thought and moral championship. Lincoln declared the Negro free; Douglass molded the minds of the people so as to give security to the Proclamation in public sentiment, and put into the hearts of white men a desire to fight for Negro freedom. The boom of Grant's cannon was the echo of Douglass' words and the execution of Lincoln's Proclamation. Both these great men have gone into history as unsullied as they were great. We celebrate their deeds. They are milestones in the pathway of the destiny of the Negro, and year after year "posterity shall with annual reverence bring sepulchral stones and pile them to the clouds" in their memory.

Vote down segregation! [The following editorial by William M. Reedy was published in the February 4 issue of "The Mirror."] Segregation of the Negroes of the City of St. Louis is to be submitted to a vote of the people. I hope it will be defeated. Dividing people into classes is repulsive to the spirit of this country. Socially it is done by automatic process beyond community control. There should be no segregation by means of law. The evil of such action is infinitely greater than any injury to a comparatively small property interest in the city. Not only would such action be a denial of fundamental rights, but it would operate to subject the Negroes to extortionate rents for homes in the only regions in which they could live. It would operate also as a detriment to the advancement of the Negro, for it would legally brand him as a helot hopeless of recognition either as a citizen or as a human being. It would not materially or permanently improve regions whence the Negro may be driven, since, generally speaking, now, the neighborhoods into which Negroes move have begun to deteriorate before the Negroes put in their appearance. The Negro is not a bad citizen; only his worst representatives are offensive, and they are in the minority. Segregation will tend to lower the quality of the Negro, to drive him down to the semi-servile status of a proscribed man, back again towards the slave-pen stage of his social and political history. To the right-thinking American the Negro's human rights are more important than any property rights supposedly imperiled by his settlement in certain parts of the town. If we disregard the rights of the Negro we open up the way to every conceivable disregard of the rights of any body of white people who may be for some reason of race or creed objectionable to some temporary majority. We owe it to ourselves, even more than to him, to be just to the Negro. We will only hurt ourselves by embodying contempt and hatred of him in our laws. Vote down segregation!

"This election is of utmost importance to us Jews, the everlastingly persecuted and oppressed race, because it concerns itself with special laws for the Negro, with peculiar restraints to be placed upon certain persons who have had the great misfortune to have been born with black skins—the sole purposes of which are to further blacken their lives here in St. Louis.

But we must rouse ourselves from this lethargic state, and in this special election each must be upon the spot and, with full consciousness of the nature of his act, cast his vote against this reactionary plan and persuade others to follow his example. "It would be the greatest shame to all of us if this segregation plan should become a law. The fact is, that if this measure obtains a majority of votes, it will become a law within ten days after its passage. Since it is of such pressing importance, every Jew in St. Louis ought to fulfill his duty." "On the face of it the segregation ordinance apparently is a very innocent measure. They tell us that the blood that flows in our arteries is different from that of the Negro, and that it is but natural that we should be separated from those who rest upon a much lower plane of civilization; in short, that we ought to be as little intimate as possible with the Negro. "But reflect upon the deeper significance of this question and you will apprehend its true spirit. The actual motive that prompted the 17,000 who subscribed the petition for a special election, although of various nationalities, is the same that actuated the Spanish inquisitions and now is the cause of the Russian persecutions and has resulted in the miserable ghettos. And now they want to create Negro ghettos.

America is a free country, free and equal, also, for all citizens, irrespective of race or color, and since it is unamerican to create divisions between citizens and thereby to create, as in Russia, citizens of the first order and those of the second class, therefore it is incumbent upon everyone of us who apprehends the true spirit of the American Constitution to oppose this law and to allow no reactionary ideas to be forced upon us. "Upon us Jews lies the greatest burden of this election day. Not a single Jewish vote must be lost. All of us must go to the ballot box and let the world know that the St. Louis Jews, like true Americans, have repudiated this segregation plan as reactionary and unpatriotic." E.

"Why Jesus Was a Man and a Woman," about $2.00. "Sexology of the Bible," over one hundred and seventy-five pages, $2.00. All cloth-bound. These books treat the sex of the Bible, and show that the Bible is a book of sex and a book of spirit, and that sex is the dividing line between the physical and spiritual worlds. "The darkness and insanity are within the sex, and that sex-lust was the original sin and cause of death. They are arresting the attention of the medical, scientific, philosophical and theological worlds, and books of modern times, and will probably do more to shape the thoughts of the human race than any books ever written in the history of the world. They are daily going to the dark world." or all parts of the Christian I would rather be the author of the T. Ward Bible by Sidney G. Tapp, than to be the President of the United States. His sex interpretation of the Bible, as therein contained, is so daring and his conclusions are so answerable, that no one can doubt the ideas presented. For ideas, it is the world's greatest book. Mr. Tapp's books on the Bible and his sex interpretation of the Bible will live until time shall be no more, but the ideas presented by the author in these books on the Bible will never die." —Proof. J. Silas Harris, A. M. "Mr. Tapp's works on the Bible will do more to empty our jails, insane institutions and hospitals than any other book in the world, in our opinion, to say nothing of the great good, morally and spiritually, that they will do the ruman race. That should be in every home and library in the civilised world." 10. Bell, Bomont BOMONT 216 ST. LOUIS THE HOUSE OF MIRTH HOW MUCH DO YOU CHARGE? ONLY ICT! LAFF & GROW FAT!

The publication will be in magazine form and contain about twelve pages. The union Sunday-school contest continues with unabated interest. St. Luke holds first place, St. Paul Baptist second, and St. John A. M. E. Zion third. The effect can plainly be seen that nearly all of the Sunday-schools have had a full attendance, rain or shine, sleet or snow. The theatrical outlook on the East Side is on the qui vive. Lately we have been treated with some mighty fine shows. The Smith-Bright players stayed three nights and then Morgan's Minstrels came. They opened last Friday night. The show is under the efficient management of Mr. J. B. Johnson, a former Fisk Jubilee singer. The company is composed of Boston Webb, and Sam Good, comedians; Robert Edmunds, a tenor of exceptional ability; A. L. Prince, juggler and hoop manipulator; Walter Jackson, baritone; and Misses Sophie and Callie Bassette, soubrettes. The orchestra consists of Walter Jackson, H. L. Ross, Jas Shackelford, Claude Williams, Steve DeWaine and Prof. Augustus Turner. They are booked for one week. Prof. M. V. Lucas announces that a review class for those who expect to take the examination for teachers has been started at the school, 19th and Bond Ave. The instruction is free. All are invited to attend. The revival season has commenced in East St. Louis. The Macedonia has just closed their meeting with success and now they have gone to St. Paul Baptist Church where a great revival is going on.

THEATRES WHITMAN SISTERS AND COMPANY BREAK ENCORE RECORD AT BOOKER WASHINGTON THEATRE Will Remain Another Week by Special Request Jingling music, sprightly dances, side-splitting, gloom-dispelling comedy and elegant costumes are the component ingredients of the Whitman Sisters' show at the Booker Washington Theatre this week. The company is making a decided impression on the big audiences. In fact, the performers have broken all records for encores, as every number presented is being rewarded with one, two and three callbacks. There is not a dull moment in the entire program. The action fast and furious and a tired lot of actors is the aftermath of each performance. The three sisters, Essie, Alberta and Alice, are perfection in their work. Essie, the largest, is the comedienne and keystone of the presentation. Alberta, as the snubbed black girl, is both pathetic and humorous. "She is singing with decided success her sentimental song," "I Wonder Will They Ever Find a Place for Little Black Me." Alice is developing into one of the best female dancers on the stage and her work this week is being highly appreciated. Gertrude Strummin possesses a rich soprano voice that blends well in the chorus and shows to advantage in solo work. The trio of boys, Aaron Palmer, Sammie Reed and Thomas Hawkins, form the ridiculous and comic side of the show. They are a lively set, who can keep the audience in a fit of laughter without overstretching or becoming vulgar. This is especially true of Reed, a mischievous chap, who can find humor in everything. The boys are all good buck dancers. The act abounds in musical numbers and closes with a burlesque wedding that brings an evening of rare enjoyment to a fevered comedy climax. By special request the Whitman Sisters and Company will be seen in another version of popular musical comedy at the Booker Washington next week. Miss Alberta will appear in her famous male impersonation. In this the critics have pronounced her the same of class. Little Miss Alice, the baby member of the Whitman family, playing at the Booker Washington this week, is entered in the International Dancing Contest, at Madison Square Garden, New York, in March. If its an age handicap, Miss Alice will win first prize easily. WANTED Twenty young ladies for high-class musical show playing white opera houses. Must have good voices.

BAILEY OPENS MATERNITY HOME AND INFIRMARY PROGRESSIVE GOING DOCTOR LEAD IN MUCH NEEDED SANI TARIUM. P. B. The growing need of a Maternity Home among the Colored people of St Louis, has been repeatedly commented upon by the people and the press, physicians especially, have loudly expressed their regrets that there existed no such place. Their patients, who were expecting to become mothers and required expert and careful treatment had either to be sent to City Hospitals or worse, frequently, kept at their homes. (The inconvenience of the home and the uncertain care of under-graduate nurses in the hospitals are often responsible for much of the pain and many of the mishaps that often attend child birth.) These things have emphasized, in the minds of many, the necessity of a Maternity Home, where efficient graduate nursing would be in constant attendance under the guidance of an experienced and competent physician. At 2916 Lucas Ave., such a Maternity Institution has been opened. The sanitary conditions equipment and conveniences of this Institution have been inspected by and met the approval of The Board of Health, and the prices are more reasonable than any other such institution accessible to colored people. The St. Louis Colored Maternity Home and Infirmary is an institution for Colored women and for Colored men; all classes of cases will be treated, but special arrangement has been made to handle maternity cases and diseases of women. All patients will get the same sympathetic and kind treatment they receive in their homes (in so much as is possible) and the greatest respect will be accorded to all alike while they are patients in this Institution. No contagious disease will be accepted and the management reserves the right to decline to accept any case not considered to be in harmony with the policies of the institution. Dr. E. 6. Bailey, the physician in charge, has had a wide hospital experience, both as interne at Freemen's Hospital in Washington, D. C. and as resident physician of Provident Hospital of this city. He has been a successful practitioner in this city since 1910, and in experience, skill and temperament he is extraordinarily well fitted to fill the position of physician in charge. Only graduated nurses, with proper preparations and previous hospital experience will be employed and they will be required to have had special training in the practice of Obstetrics. The St. Louis Colored Maternity Home and Infirmary will strive to maintain perfection in cleanliness, kindness, sympathetic attention, expert treatment, and general efficiency. The doors are open from 3:00 to 4:00 p. m. and from 7:30 to 8:20 p. m. and all are invited to visit and inspect the Institution. A limited amount of charity is planned. A little later a ward for babies will be added in connection with the social service wards of Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church. Dr. E. 6. Bailey was born in 1877, Baltimore, Md. Graduated from the Public and High Schools of White Plains, N. Y. He entered upon his second medical course at Shaw University. Medical Dept. Sept., 1901, graduating in 1906. He received two prizes and honorable mention in Obstetrics, Surgery, and Gynecology. Interne Freedman's Hospital Washington, D. C. 1908 and 1909, Provident Hospital, St. Louis, 1910; Member of Old Fellows, Deputy Grand Master, Masonic Temple, Officers of Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church.

Lady Attendant. Week Mediums NOTE.—Those calling for pastime, curious and frivolous persons are only wasting time calling on Prof. Gladetone. Strangely fascinating are the words that come from the cultivated lips of this most interesting man whose journey of life has already taken him through all the re-territories of the world, Asia and Europe. It seems, indeed, as if his knowledge must come from that mysterious world of which we all would know, yet longing, cannot know. He looks far away into the dim mysterious future—the great beyond—across the dark chasm of the earth, from the foot of the fitting soul—and that which is told.

He that the revelations he makes to him. He is surely a man of the passing time. GLADSTONE is not a chairvoyant from choice, but because fate has so deceived it.

So he has received the rich inheritance together with the comfort and priceless experience of generations. What your present trouble may be or what your past experience has been, you will save time and avoid disappointment by at once consulting Gladstone. NOTE—Gladstone answers no letters if you cannot call in person, do not write, as his time is fully occupied with his personal callers.
