A FEARLESS EXPONENT OF RIGHT AND JUSTICE THE TULSA STAR OUR SUBSCRIPTION LIST MAKES A VALUABLE MEDIUM FOR ADVERTISING Would Bar Negroes From Grand Stand "World-Sun" Paper Makes Fight Against Colored Patrons of The Association Park Vol. 2, No 20 Would "World-Sun" Pa . Against Colo The Assoc Advocates "Bleac To Uphold "Ji "Nearly 100 negroes had seats in the grandstand at Association park Sunday. Many white people were incensed at this violation of Jim Crow ethics, and if the affair is repeated there are a number of individuals who will withdraw their support from the local club. The management promised to erect bleachers two weeks ago, but to date they have not kept those promises. We realize that they are out a considerable sum in getting the park ready at all, but we insist that no one will lose any money by providing bleachers at both sides of the grandstand. Let's take up a collection for the purpose if there is no other way of getting relief." The above is a clipping from the afternoon half of the Tulsa World namel, the Tulsa Sun, under date of Tuesday, May 12. This combination paper, bearing the euphonies subre quette of "World-Sun," which seems to have an eternal graudge against the Negroes of this city, judging from its past record in all things wherein Negroes are concerned, would do a thriving business in an illfated locality where it is popular and customary for a certain class of men and yellow journals, styles as newspapers, to flame their way into an ignomous notrity by stiring up unfavorable feeling against Negroes. But it is our guess that Tulsa will not harbor such sentiment against any part of her citizens. The writer of the above article evidently is greatly disturbed because a few Negroes had seats in one end of the grandstand at the Association park last Sunday. These Negroes paid the same fare as the white people who were there, and it will be remembered that on the opening of this park a number of Negroes paid the initiative $1.00, 75 cents of which was donated to the Park Association. Now comes the "World-Sun" combination and throws a double jointed fit because Negroes were allowed to sit in one end of the grandstand Sunday. When the sporting editor for the World-Sun was called and questioned about this Wednesday he said that more than 300 business men had signed a petition to keep Negroes out of the grandstand even if collections have to be taken to build "bleachers" for the Colored patrons of the park. But he would not give the name of a single business man who had signed the petition. The Negroes of this city are loyal citizens, as a whole, and are willing to put their shoulder to the wheel any time to push for a bigger and better Tulsa. But so far as the Association Park is concerned the Negroes should refuse to attend any game there if they are not allowed to sit in the grandstand. In fact no self respecting Negro desires to force his presence anywhere that he is not welcome. The World-Sun have at least 500 subscribers among the Negroes of this city, which maounts to at least $3,900.00 per eyar. Quite a fat sum to pay to be insulted and outraged at frequent intervals, eh? That's what the Negroes of Tulsa are paying the World-Sun. A paper which will not publish their social news, but take a SUCCESSOR TO THE MUSKOGEE STAR TULSA, OKLAHOMA, SATURDAY MAY 16 1914 keen delight in publishing any article calculated to discredit the Negro in any way and to stir up prejudice against him. It is time the Negroes of Tulsa show their manhood and womanhood by emitting such flagrant insults to the face. They could not better do so than by refusing to subscribe for a paper which is openly antagonistic to their best interest. It is not the better class of white people who are eternally harping about "Jim Crow ethics," whatever that is, but, as a rule, it is that narcissistic class who feign to immagine that they will become contaminated by coming in contact with the Negro. And some of the same class may be seen almost any dark night following up and talking to the blackest and very lowest type of Negro prostitutes. Not a night passes but what a dozen or more of uneese students of "Jim Crow ethics" could be picked up by the police for cohabitating with these low, dirty, demoralized Negro women. The Star is in favor of running both in these classes of depraved humanity out of town. Then the decent white people and decent Colored people of this city would not be bothered with the habitual violators of "Jim Crow ethics." The best white blood in the city have Negro servants who nurse their children, make their beds, cook their food and serve it to them, and many of them are patrons of the park. Now who would suppose that any of these white people would sign a petition asking that Negroes be denied the privilege of the grandstand at the Association Park? Hooker Makes Announcement The announcement of W. S. Hooker for county sheriff appears in this issue of the Star. Mr. Hooker has lived in Tulsa for fifteen years and is well known to all the old timers. He opened the firm of Hale and Reynolds Hdw. Co. of this city and was with that riffm eight years. He was elected constable under Justice Lee Daniels and has filled that office with credit to himself and his constituents. Mr. Hooker is a staunch union man and has a strong following among union workers of this city. STEPS FOR AN ORPHAN'S HOME. Monday evening, March 25th, at the M. E. Church, on Easton Ave., the Orphan's Home Society will reorganize. All are invited, especially ladies who are interested in chairity work. The meeting will be called to order at 4 o'clock and a proposition will be offered the Society which insures its success under proper management. Rev. Jones, pastor, invites all to be present. To Subscribers A number of our subscribers have complained of not getting their paper, and we have therefore took the matter up with Post Masters at several towns in the State where such complaints have been issued, and better service has been promised. We are anxious for you to get your paper. You are entitled to it, and ought to have it. And we intend to do all we can to see that you get it, but we must have your co-operation. When you go to the Post Office after your mail be sure to ask for THE FULSA STAR. A great many people go to the General delivery window and never think to go to the paper window or ask the clerk for their papers. In this way they miss their papers and they accumulate in the Post Office. It is the duty of Post Masters to notify the publisher when his publication remains in the office for any reason, and to specify the reason, but few Post Masters in Oklahoma observe their duty in this respect. However, if you will go to the Post Office and as for THE TULSA STAR and it is not delivered to you and you will notify us of the fact we will see to it that matters are satisfactorily adjusted.

Miss Amanda listened stonily to her niece Mary's confession of her en: gagement to the man she had met on her vacation at Bellmuir, Sympa. thetically, too, for the two old matden Jadies, Miss Amanda and Miss Doro thy, were devoted to pretty Mary, the child of their only brother, whom they had adopted when he lay dying. But when Mary mentioned the name of Ralph Lester an ominous look came over Miss Amanda's face. “And he says his father knew you when you were a girl, Aunt Amanda,” pursued Mary, with ali the innocent confidence of twenty years. “Yes, my dear,” answered her aunt, “and he was a black-hearted, deceitful man, And no niece of mine shall ever marry the son of Robert Lester.” Mary was heartbroken. To disobey her aunt never entered her head. She had owed everything to Miss Amanda, who was the dominating spirit of the two; and she felt that, as long as she lived, she would have to yield her Wishes to hers, Ralph Lester, in the efty, recelved a despairing Httle note from his flan- cee the following day which he could neither understand nor fathom. He flung it away and buried himself in his work. So time went by. The two old ladies realized Mary's sorrow. They did thelr best to cheer her, But Mary grew thin and pale, and they saw that it would be no easy matter to make her forget. From timid Miss Dorothy tho girl learned the cause of Miss Amanda's hostility. Miss Amanda had once been engaged to Ralph's father, Rob- ert, who had been dead some years. They were to have been married in a few weeks. Then Robert Lester had gone away and no letter had come from him. And Miss Amanda, too proud to ask him for an explanation, had let him go. A year went by. ‘The summer ya- cation season came again. Mary did WN NMI Best cH hs ANN sy ne Saat Ae [Mea (iNest (), Ll HM Ne ANT AKS| | pel!

She stayed at home and brooded over the past And then, one afternoon, a fatr, curly-haired young fellow rang the bell at the old house door and Miss Amanda, coming to open it, found her- self looking into the face of her youth- ful sweetheart, Robert. “You are Mr, Lester?” the old wom: un asked, pressing one hand against her throbbing heart. “Yes, and you must be Miss Aman- a,” answered the young man. “My father often used to speak of you.” “Come in,” said Miss Amanda, grim. ly. “Take a seat in the parlor.” She sat down beside him and plunged pt once, in her characteristic fashion, Fato what lay nearest to her heat. “My niece ts in the garden,” she sald, “You are at liberty to go to see her: You are at liberty to take her away, to marry her, But let me tell you that, from the moment she be- comes your wife, she shall never cross ous threshold again or—" she hesi- fated. “I do not want to wrong you in my thoughts, Mr, Lester, but she shall mever inherit a penny of my money.” The young man rose, “May I ask why, Miss Amanda?” he inquired cour- teously. The memories of old days flushed the old maid's withered cheek. “Be- eause,"” she answered slowly, “your fa: ther was engaged to me. He left me, a few weeks before the wedding day. ‘He never doigned to tell me why. And the insult you have put upon me re: mains to this generation, sir.” She started: Mary stood at the door. She had overheard all, She stood Jooking at Ralph, and he saw on her face that her love had never died. He started toward her. Sn “Mary, are you going to let the ‘shadow of the past generation prevent our happiness?” he asked. ‘The girl went softly to her aunt and placed her hands upon her shoulders “Aunt, are you going to ruin our lives because your own was rulned?” she asked. The old woman's face was Ike a ‘mask. “As his father did to me, 80 you shall do to him,” she answered. “You can marry him—but my anger will never be assuaged. I warn you boti: now that I shall never relent. I have reared you, Mary, to be a daugh- ter to both of us. If you think it right to marry the son of the man who made my life barren and profitless, you are free to do 60. But never come ‘to me again—never—" Mary turned away. “You see, Ralph, ‘It 1s impossible,” she answered quietly. “Is there nothing can induce you to relent, Miss Amanda?” inquired Ralph Lester quietly. The old woman saw how bravely he bore the shock, and the thought of his suffering added fuel to her anclent hatred “Yes,” she answered, “if Robert Les- tor sends me a message from the dead, explaining his actions, his cruel be- havior to me, then I can forgive.” ‘Through the door came little Doro thy,deaning upon a stick. She was holding a package in her hands. She crossed the floor to where her sister stood and kneeled down at her side. “Amanda—" she began. “It {8 useless to plead for him, Doro thy,” answered the old woman. “You know—who should know so well as you, when Robert Lester came to woo you before he courted me?” “And you took him from me. Was that no wrong, Amanda?” pleaded her sister. Miss Amanda frowned impatiently. “That is between you and me, Doro- thy,” sho answered. “If I have wronged you in that, you have never borne me hate for {t. You do not know the meaning of a ruined life; nor a hot pillow wet with tears for a frustrated love.” Miss Dorothy rose to her feet, and her face was ashen pale. She held out the package toward her sister. Slowly, with trembling fingers, she unfastened the ribbon which bound it, and the scent of faded perfume diffused itself through the room. “These letters explain all,” she said. Miss Amanda uttered a gasp of fear. ‘There were half a dozen unopened let: ters, in faded ink, and the handwriting of them, addressed to bor, was that of Robert Lester, “This is why,” said Miss Dorothy. “t was jealous of you, Amanda, 1 hated you with a hatred which was to yours a8 wine ts to water. When Robert's letters came for you I hid them away. And your own letters, which you gave me to mail, I destroyed unopened Now acquit Robert and turn your an ger upon me, Amanda.” The mask had fallen from Miss Amanda's face. Her eyes were wet with tears, Let the past bury its dead, sister,” she murmured. “I am glad you told me—told me at the last.” And the two old women wept in each others’ arms. And Ralph Lester drew Mary's arm through his, and pressed his lips to hers. (Copyright, 1914, by W.

There is no need of trying to minimize or to “explain” nor to deny these words of Jesus. Hell 1s for the wil- fully disobedient, and was never pre- pared for man (Matt. 25:41), On earth he saw Lazarus “at his gate,” now with Abraham, resting “in his bosom.” Their positions are reversed, the petitioner is now the rich man who begs for “mercy,” though in life he showed none at all. His plea was for his tongue; that organ had been pampered in life but now it fs in mis- ery, because deprived of earthly satis- faction. The solemnity of this lesson is very great. As we have suggested Luke does not call this a parable. It is possible that Jesus’ auditors knew {he very people of whom he was speak- ing, some notoriously wealthy citl- zen recently deceased, and some well- known alms-seeker. For a moment our Lord withdraws the curtain to let those about him read the story, catch, for an instant, a glimpse. He shows us that the attitudes cf today determine the destinies of tomorrow, The experience of life beyond death is determined by the use of the life “that now is." The gate of heaven is without our self-centered life and often takeg the form ot a beggar. To wrongly em- ploy our wealth, to live within the gate of selfishness will shut the gate of heaven in our own faces. If we pass without that gate of selfishness and minister, presently we find we have made a friend in the life beyond. ‘It is not the crumbs we give the beg- gar, that which we do not miss, it Must be self-emptying service, When in Town Call at The Peoples’ Cafe 29 North Boston First Class Meals Served at All Hours Open Day and Night J.

OPERATIC CAREER FOR 35 YEARS Famous Star Had Three Matrimonial Ventures, Her Last Husband Being Geo. W. Young a New York Banker. Batavia, Java—Madame Nordica is dead. Prieumonia, contracted from the shock and exposure of a shipwreck on Thursday Island in the Antipodes, ended the career of one of the world's most famous singers, just as she had started upon what she had planned would be her farewell tour of the world. Lillian Nordica was an American singer of world-wide fame. Her admirers ranged from the men of the Bowery section of New York, where she had sung at mission meetings, to the most critical box holders of grand opera houses in all of the world's great musical centers. The purity of her voice, employed in many tongues, had delighted hundreds of thousands since the day, forty years ago, she first appeared in public as soprano soloist at Grace church in Boston. A farm house built by the prima donna's grandfather on a hill just outside the village of Farmington, Me., was Nordica's birthplace in 1859. Her true name was Lillian Norton. She changed it to the Italian Nordica, twenty years later when she began to study in Italy for an operatic career. Her debut in opera was at Brescia, in 1879 in "La Traviata." After a trip to St. Petersburg she appeared for trial before Ambrose Thomas and the impressario, Vancorbell, who engaged her for the Grand Opera House in Paris. Triumphs at Home. She returned to America and toured this country was great success. In the succeeding years she appeared in grand opera or concert in almost every city of musical culture in the world. Her repertoire included more than fifty operas. Her success with Wagnerian roles became the pinnacle of her fame. At Bayreuth in 1894 she appeared as Elsa in "Lohengrin," and she is, perhaps, best remembered in that part. She received decorations of various sorts, abroad, and gifts without number from friends at home. Her matrimonial ventures numbered three. She was first married in 1882 to Frederick A. Gower, a wealthy electrician and a native of her state of Maine, whom she met in Paris. Shortly after she had begun separation proceedings in 1884, Gower disappeared. He attempted a balloon trip across the English channel. Although the balloon was later found, nothing was ever heard or seen of him. Accident Causes Pneumonia. In 1896, Mme. Nordica married Zoltan Doeme, a Hungarian army officer and singer, from whom she secured a divorce in 1905. Her third marriage was in London in 1909 to Geo. W. Young, a wealthy New York banker. It was announced at that time that Nordica would retire from the stage, but after a honeymoon spent in part at the old Norton homestead in Maine, she decided upon a farewell concert court of the world. It was while making one leg of this trip on the Dutch steamer Tasman, that the vessel ran ashore on Thursday Island in the Antipodes. The shock of the accident and exposure brought on pneumonia. Mme. Nordica's admirers felt it to be a particularly tragic circumstance that the famous singer should have fallen dangerously ill on the other side of the world. BIG BATTLE RAGES AT TAMPICO Rebels Demolishing the City With Field Artillery. Washington—The fiercest battle of the revolution is being waged at Tampico between constitutionalists and the federal garrison, according to reports reaching here. By the light of burning tanks and an oil well, the rebels poured shot and shell on the city from twenty field guns. For the first time in the fighting between the soldiers of Huerta and Carranza, the constitutionalists are on equal terms with the federals in the matter of artillery. The twenty French field guns captured and placed in position before Tampico have done tremendous execution.

Blair, of this town, has the following to say, which should be of interest to women generally. For months, my health was very bad, and the medicines I took did not seem to do me any good. I was very, weak and nervous, and some days, I could not be up. I asked my husband to get me a bottle of Cardul, the woman's tonic; to try, and before I had taken one bottle I was up and doing my work. Before I commenced taking Cardul, I had such spells I was not able to do anything. Now, I have only taken three bottles of Cardul in all, and I feel fine. A few months ago I weighed 135 pounds. Now I weigh 158, and I do all my own work, cook, wash and milk—and feel like I did when I was 'sweet sixteen.' Taking Cardul has cured me." As a relief from the distressing symptoms of womanly ailments, nothing has been found during the past 50 years that would take the place of Cardul. Its superiority is still unquestioned as a mild, building tonic for cases of womanly weakness where tired nature needs help. Made from purely vegetable ingredients, Cardul has no bad after effects and can do you nothing but good. Try Cardul.—Adv. Cured. Tibbits MacGee awoke that morning with such a pain in the chest that he had to use both arms to dress himself. By breakfast time it was no better. "I've heard a Turkish bath is good for a thing like this," said MacGee. "I think I'll take one." At McFlumpery & Cohen's Turkish baths he was first laid on an ice-cold tombstone and slapped by an expatriated Turk until he promised himself never to spank his little son again. Then he was pushed forcibly into a small room without doors or windows to escape by and a 13-horsepower fire hose was turned on him until the water gave out. After that he was strung up by the heels and paddled with a carpet beater to induce circulation. When circulation had been induced to the rate of a mile a minute, the entire working force of seven Turks seized him and played medicine ball with him for 35 minutes. The pain in his chest was gone forever. (Many beautiful floral offerings distinguished the funeral.) While They Burn. "My wife is learning to cook by correspondence course.

A man's chance is all the Negro of America is asking; and he is less than a man who would deny him this. Dr. Morris convinced everyone who heard him of one fact, and that is that he is a Southerner who knows the Southern white man, and he is brimming over with that perculiar Southern diplomacy which attracts the Southern white folks to the Negro leaders in the South. The Negroes of Tulsa pay the sum of $3,900.00 to The Tulsa World-Sun papers annually, probably more; and this paper never overlooks an opportunity to show their appreciation by open insults to the race.

PRES. WILSON DELIVERS EULOGY Praises Noble Sacrifice of Nineteen Soldiers Who Died; Says Bullets Are More Welcome Than Sneers, to Brave Men. New York—New York joined the nation in memorializing with simple dignity the heroism of the nineteen blue jackets and marines who gave their lives at Vera Cruz. As the most impressive funeral pageant since the Spanish war started from the battery to the Brooklyn navy yard, it was as if the pulse of the city had stopped. All business was suspended and over the commercial section of the city there fell a reverential hush. The assemblage, which numbered over 1,000,000 of New York's polyglot population, stood shoulder to shoulder It was a spectacle of a city strangely transfigured and lifted out of itself. In the line of mourners that followed, the artillery, caissons bearing the dend were the chiefs of state and city government, and many more distinguished men of nearly every calling; but every eye in the throngs that lined the way turned first to the carriage where President Wilson rode close behind the last funeral car. The president came from Washington during the night and was with the procession from the time it left the battery until the square of marines fired their parting volleys over the flag-draped coffins at the Brooklyn navy yard, and the navy bugler sounded the "taps" On the stand with the president at the navy, yard were relatives of the dead sailors and marines, mothers, sisters and wives, but in all the throng of mourners nons seemed more deeply touched by the spirit of the day than the man whose word sent the lads of the navy to fight for their country's honor at Vera Cruz. And to the president was left the privilege of voicing the nation's grief and the nation's belief that those who died in the performance of duty had done for their country a service not so be measured by their individual deeds. "The feeling that is uppermost," he said, "is one of profound grief, and vet there, is mixed with that grief a profound pride and if I may say it out of ray heart, a touch of envy of those who were permitted so quietly, so nobly, to do their duty." The head of the nation looked out over the thousands massed about the coffins on the parade grounds, and his voice shook with emotion as he declared his creed. "We have gone down to Mexico," he said, "to serve mankind if we can find out a way. We do not want to fight the Mexicans. We want to serve the Mexicans." There was a wistful note in his voice as he added: "I never was under fire; but I fancy that there are some things just as hard to do as to go under fire. I fancy that it is just as hard to do your duty when men are sneering at you as when they are shooting at you. When they shoot at you they can only take your natural life; when they sneer at you they can wound your heart." As the procession entered city hall plaza, the voices of 500 children rose to meet them. The children sang "Nearer My God to Thee." Mayer Mitchel briefly eulogized the dead and laid upon one of the caissons a huge wreath symbolizing the city appreciation of the service rendered at Verna Cruz. GOMPERS, MITCHELL & MORRISON Finally Freed of Buck's Stove Co. Contempt Cases. Washington.—Ending seven years of bitter legal warfare, the supreme court set aside sentences imposed by the District of Columbia supreme court upon Samuel Gompers, John Mitchell and Frank Morrison for contempt of court in violation of injunctions issued in 1907 and 1908 against boycotting the Bucks Stove and Range Co. The question of whether the acts of the labor leaders constituted contempt was not passed upon, the court disposing of the cases by holding prosecution was barred by the statute of limitations, the proceedings having been started more than three years after the allowed offense. In 1911 the supreme court set aside sentences against Gompers, Mitchell and Morrison because they had been prosecuted under criminal instead of civil statutes. LEADS ADVANCE ON THE CAPITAL irg A U J I CONCENTRATE ON ITS CAPITAL THREE DIVISIONS WITHIN 300 MILES OF MEXICO CITY. South American Diplomats Complete Conference Arrangements for Session at Niagara Falls. Washington. While the Mexican situation is outwardly calm pending the formal opening of the conference of South American mediators at Niagara Falls, Canada, May 18, there continued an active undercurrent of discussion and preparation for the peace plans and at the same time definite reports reached the constitutionalist headquarters here of sweeping victories of their forces near San Luis Potosí and other points far south of Saltillo, where it was thought their next big battle would occur. General Carranza's messages showed that three converging campaigns were in active operation, each within 300 miles of Mexico City. General Obregon with 15,000 men operating from the Pacific coast side had captured all the intervening territory, was beselging Mazatlan Another division, General Carranza reported, had fought a battle at Penzacas, near San Luis Potosí, which is 300 miles north of Mexico City. This is the southernmost point which the constitutionalists have reached in central Mexico, and with the army now attacking Tampico they declare that the general advance on the Mexican capital is to be made within a few weeks from three sides. The significance of these constitutionalist successes lay in the fact that San Luis Potosí is far south of Saltillo and only 300 miles from Tampico on the west and Mexico City on the south. General Carranza's report of the desperate condition of the federals at Mazatlan was coincident with reports from Read Admiral Howard, who stated that a land and sea engagement was carried on there, the constitutionalists firing rifles and field guns from Piedro Island, while the federal gumbot Morelos was supported by the federal shore batteries. Aside from the notable constitutionalist successes, the chief military development of the week was the authorization to General Funston to extend his lines at Vera Cruz as might be required for defensive purposes without, however, undertaking any aggressive operations. A report also came from General Funston that he could secure no definite information as to the active movements by the federal under General Maas, but he construed what they were doing as being merely defensive. Sharp Fighting on East Coast. The naval situation was shown in reports from Rear Admiral Badger as to the Atlantic coast points and from Rear Admiral Howard as to conditions on the Pacific coast side. Admiral Badger stated that sharp fighting had occurred between Mexican federals and constitutionalists midway between Vera Cruz and Tampico and he added that rumors reached him through Admiral Mayo that some of Villa's forces intended to take and burn the city of Tampico. Admiral Mayo put no faith in reports of a truce between federads and constitutionalist elements about Tampico. Congress again came into the Mexican situation when a caustic debate occurred in the senate over the resolution of Mr. Lippitt, of Rhode Island asking President Wilson for information as to his reported support of Pancho Villa for next ruler of Mexico. The resolution finally was tabled, by a viva voce vote, but not until Senator Lippitt had discussed reports of the administration's support of the "Villianous Villa," the landing at Vera Crus and other incidents. T U L S A. Q K L A.. S T A R MEXICO SCENE OF REVOLUTION HOTBED OF WAR EVER SINCE DICTATOR PORFIRO DIAZ QUIT THE PRESIDENCY UNABLE TO SETTLE THE AFFAIRS Half a Dozen Rulers In Three Years, None of Whom Have Been Able To Hold Control—Madero the Revolution has been in progress in Mexico since January, 1911, when Madero began his insurrection against Diaz. At that time Diaz had been dictator under the title of president, since 1876, with the exception of one term. American magazine writers in 1909 described in detail the horrors of Mexican peonage, the barbarism of Mexican prisons and the long reign of favoritism to classes and wrong and injustice to the masses under Diaz, helped to fah into the flame the popular discontent, which blazed out into a general conflagration when Madero made his presidential campaign against Diaz in the summer of 1910, on a platform of radical reform. Suppressed for the moment by arrest, he escaped into the United States, and in January, 1911, returned to Mexico and issued his now famous proclamation—the Mexican declaration of independence—demanding the overthrow of the Diaz tyranny and promising sweeping constitutional and economical reforms, chief among which was a new and fairer system of agricultural tenure. Would Not Make Terms. Starting in the mountains of Chihuahua, Coahuila and Sonora, the uprising had become formidable by February, when Madero was joined by Orozco, Blanco and Pancho Villa and in May the combined forces captured Juarez an important point near the Mexican border. Diaz attempted to make terms with the revolutionists, but Madero insisted on his retirement, and Diaz finally agreed to retire. On May 25, 1911, he left the capital and a few days later sailed for Europe, where he has since been watching with keen interest the course of events in the country where for more than thirty years he had exercised the supreme power of unlimited despotism. Insurrections broke out, one of them under his former associate, General Orozco, who was defeated by Huerta, and outbreaks continued from time to time and delayed the plan of national reconstruction. Felix Diaz a Failure. In October, 1912, Gen. Felix Diaz, nephew of the former dictator, started a revolt at Vera Cruz but was arrested, sentenced to death and imprisoned pending a new trial, in Santiago prison in Mexico City, where Gen. Bernardo Reyes, a close friend of the older Diaz, was at that time confined for attempting to organize a revolution against Madero about a year previous. February 8, 1913, marked the beginning of the end of the Madero administration. On that date a number of regiments at the capital revolted and military cadets stormed the military prison and released Felix Diaz and Heyes, who put themselves at the head of the rebels and captured the citadel and armory, with large stores of arms and munitions. For days the capital was the scene of a terrific and destructive battle, General Huerta commanding the few regiments which remained loyal to Madero. On February 18 the Mexican senate adopted a resolution "declaring Madero incapable of holding office" and ordering Generals Huerta and Blanquet to put an end to the fighting and arrest the president, who was accordingly locked up in his apartments under guard. Late at night, five days afterward Madero and Vice President Pino Suarez, while on their way to the state penitentiary under an armed escort were shot and killed by the soldiers who were supposed to be guarding them. Left It For Wilson. General Huerta at once organized a provisional government, with himself as president, and was recognized by the diplomatic representatives at the capital, with the exception of the United States, President Taft leaving to his successor, Mr. Wilson, the task of dealing with the situation as seemed wise to him. The blood of Madero proved to be the seed of a fresh revolution, Villa, Carranza and other chiefs, good and bad, joining forces against Huerta. MRS. JOSEPH E, RANSDELL C.

SOUTH METHODIST CONFERENCE SEVENTEENTH ANNUAL SESSION AT OKLAHOMA CITY. College of Bishops Admits Surrender of All Control Over Vanderbilt Oklahoma City.—Oklahoma extended a three-fold welcome to visiting Methodists from over the south when Ed. S. Vaught, D. H. Linebaugh and Rev. W. A. Shelton, representing the city, the state and the church respectively, voiced from the pulpit of St. Luke's church the pleasure Oklahomaans will find in entertaining the seventeenth quadrennial conference which was formally opened here Wednesday. The response on behalf of the conference was by Bishop E. R. Hendrix of Kansas City. The opening session witnessed the taking of initial steps in the three weeks of work ahead of the conference. The meeting was featured by the reading of the Episcopal address from the college of bishops, which was read from the pulpit by Bishop W. A. Candler of Atlanta, Ga. The Episcopal address was a voluminous affair, containing approximately 22,000 words and required three hours in the reading. In it, the college of bishops touched on multifarious topics vital to the church, notable among them the Vanderbilt university subject, the bishops recommended that this problem be referred to a committee of five from the general conference. On the subject of new bishops, the college recommended that no new ones be elected. Settlement of the Vanderbilt question is uppermost in the minds of the delegates and officers. Since 1905 the church has had this matter under consideration. On March 21, 1914, the supreme court of Tennessee hauled down the opinion which took away from the church any control it might have exercised over the school previously. A. F. Watkins of the Mississippi conference, who was secretary of the last quadrennial conference, called the roll of delegates. He was made temporary secretary of the conference and afterward elected its permanent secretary by acclamation. $62,000 Paid for Property Damaged In Leconte Revolt Port Au Prince.—The National bank advanced the Haitien government $42,000, the amount of indemnity claimed by Mr. Peters, a British subject whose sawmill had been destroyed by fire during the Leconte revolution. The payment had been demanded in an ultimatum from the British diplomatic representatives. The incident is regarded as closed. The incident is regarded as closed. NOW NED M'DANIEL IS ACCUSED Senate Clark Arrested In Mexico Altus—To face a charge of embezzling $5,300 of Jackson county court funds while he was district court clerk from 1907 to 1911, Ned McDaniel, secretary of the senate and secretary of the state election board under an act passed by the last legislature, was brought back to Altus from Brownsville, Texas, in charge of John Bailey, sheriff of Jackson county. McDaniel was arrested at Matamoras, Mexico. After a search for McDaniel lasting several weeks, Bailey located him at the Mexican city across from Brownsville. He went there, first sought the aid of the American consul, who said there was no way to transport his man across the line, and then negotiated with the rebel commander of the troops there.

McAdoo, Dressed in Her Wedding Gown Washington, May 8.—Eleanor Randolph Wilson, youngest daughter of the president, and William Gibbs McAdoo, secretary of the treasury, were married at the White House at 6 o'clock yesterday afternoon by Rev. Sylvester Beach of Princeton, N. J. The wedding procession proceeded from the main stairway into the corridor, through the north door of the blue room, to the platform erected in the south bay window of the room. Miss Sallie McAdoo led the procession, followed by Mrs. Sayre and Miss Margaret Wilson. Miss Nancy Lane directly preceded the bride, who was escorted by the president. The groom, with Dr. Cary Travers Grayson, met the wedding party at the altar. Mr. McAdoo wore evening clothes and Dr. Grayson wore his uniform. Rev. Sylvester W. Beach performed the ceremony. After the ceremony the wedding party proceeded to the red room, where they received congratulations and good wishes of the company. The Marine band furnished the music. Supper was served at small tables in the state dining room. The decorations of the blue room were lilies and ferns, and the decorations in the dining-room were pink and white roses. Handsome Wedding Presents. In spite of the small list of invited guests the wedding presents were numerous. Prominent among them were C. HARRIS & EWING Mrs. William G. McAdoo, Dr. the beautiful silver tea service, given by the members of the house of representatives, a piece of jewelry from members of the senate, twelve silver plates and a platter from the cabinet members and their wives, and a handsome gift from the justices of the Supreme court. From the diplomatic corps, no member of which was invited, came flowers and good wishes. The bride's bouquet was of orange blossoms, white orchids and lilies of the valley. The flower girls carried white chip hats, hung by ribbons, filled with flowers. Miss Margaret Wilson's gown was of soft blue crape with panniers and waist of blue tulle. The neck was finished with a cream lace ruff and a flowered sash completed the costume. With this costume was worn a blue lace hat, trimmed with pink roses and touches of black. Mrs. Sayre's costume was exactly like Miss Wilson's except that the color was pink. The gowns of the little flower girls were white, with blue and pink ribbons. Beautiful Wedding Gown. The wedding gown worn by Miss Wilson is made of ivory-white satin and trimmed with real old point lace. The bodice is softly draped with satin, which crosses in front and is brought to a point below the shoulders, front and back. The V-shaped neck is finished with folds of soft tulle. The long mousquetaire sleeves are made of tulle. The real old point lace is gracefully draped over the right shoulder to the left side of the waist and is fastened with a spray of orange blossoms; the lace then continues as a border to the long transparent tunic of tulle, which graduates to the side of the skirt at the train. The sweeping train is three and a half yards in length. A cap effect bridal wreath, with orange blossoms and long draped vell was very effective. The old point lace used on the gown is a masterpiece and a work of art in face making. It is a part of a world-famous collection. Her Going-Away Dress. The bride's going-away dress is a three-piece dress made of corbeau-blue garbardine. The coat is made of corbeau-blue charmeuse and gabardine. The front and upper part of back of coat is made of charmeuse. The back is gathered at collar. The three-quarter sleeve of gabardine is topped with the blue charmeuse, the edge of the sleeve being bound with a flat black silk braid. The soft girdle of gabardine ends in front with an oval charmeuse buckle. The bodice is dark blue chiffon over white. It has braided straps of gabardine over the shoulders, with 12 rows of braid over belt of blue garbardine. A white organdie vestee passed In Her Wedding Gown and collar are edged with a rose and green flowered narrow ribbon, fastened in front by three ribbon buttons. Long blue sleeves over white chiffon end in wide cuffs of 16 rows of narrow black braid. The short skirt is of gabardine, with three circular flounces starting at sides of skirt. These are fastened at back with a strap of gabardine attached to which are four small black silk tassels. Between the flounces, corbeau charmeuse, to which they are attached, showing about one inch of charmeuse between each flounce. Flounces and bottom of skirt are edged with black silk braid. Sketch of Mrs. McAdoo. Mrs. McAdoo is the only one of the three daughters of the president who has evidenced no inclination to pursue an accomplishment or perfect herself in any branch of study. Like her mother, she has talent as an artist in oils and has spent two seasons at the Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia. She has a keen sense of humor, and is much of a diplomat. She is the only member of the White House family who has a nickname. She is called "Nell." In appearance, Mrs. McAdoo is tall, slender, with a glirlish figure, and a light swinging gait.

STAR AFRO-AMERICAN LEARNING THE WAYS Cutting corn stalks for fodder at the called "Shellbanks," where some four hun and 35 students are constantly employed. The Negro Baptist churches, writes a Chicago correspondent, face a difficult moral and social problem in the life of the community. It is only fair to say that much of this condition has been forced upon them. The worst side of the city has been left for them, and their principal street was for a long time the prolongation of our "White Hell" where is permitted barter in human bodies. It is not strange that over seven thousand five hundred negro men are employed in saloons and pool-rooms, or that their chief arterial street which stands in the very center of their social and business life, is just "one saloon after another." The influences of these demoralizing institutions upon their moral life, as well as other familiar and local institutions of even a lower type, is indescribable. We wonder if the negro youth trained in the religion of his home church far away, or even the youth of the present city churches, is trained to meet this. We are told that many of the people who come here were taught that religion was chiefly a state of personal joy and happiness. Anything that made them happy was allied to religion. The idea of the moral restraints and the social securities that are born of true religion are not sufficiently emphasized. To be happy, to be joyful, is to be religious, and to be secure. What a field of easy failure must open up before such a young life when transferred to the gaily-lighted streets, the challenging music of saloons and cafes, and the richly-dressed women of the street; and how easily the traps may be set for a life that measures religion chiefly in terms of feeling, and falls away from its institutions and practises the moment that inner joy and happiness seems to be broken on the anvil of failure. A stranger in Rahway, N. J., bought a bag of potatoes and a 15-pound ham at a grocery store the other day and left them on the back doorstep of an aged resident named Thompson Thorne. With the supplies was this note: "This is returned to you today in honor of the fifty-first anniversary since you gave the same to an old, hungry soldier at Valley Springs, Va., during the Civil war." In Booker Washington's opinion race prejudice is no longer as violent as it was. By this he does not mean that the gulf between the races is being bridged—or should be bridged. But the black man no longer regards the white man as his natural enemy, nor does the white man scorn the colored man as he once dtd. "I used to hate all whites," said Washington, "but I got over that. That dwarfed and handicapped me. I have no time now to give to hate." "Uncle Jake," said he, "had been attending a conference. He found that he had but ten minutes to catch his train for home. So he called a hack. "'I'm sorry, uncle,' said the driver, 'but I've never hauled a colored man in this hack. If any one were to see you in it, it would ruin me.' "'White man,' said Uncle Jake, 'I can't got no time for talkin'. I des natchelyl got to catch that train. You git in de back seat and cock you hat on the back of your head and smoke dis se-gar—and I'll git on de front seat and dribe de horse. Dataway you get your quarter—and I'll git my train.'" Who would have supposed that the number of negro citizens whose names are on the payroll of the United States reached as high as 22,540? Of the colored citizens on Uncle Sam's payroll 4,526 are in the army, 1,529 are in the navy, and 2,140 are in the various navy yards and stations. Of the rest 6,347 are employed in Washington, and the remainder work in the government buildings throughout the United States. More minute statistics on the subject are supplied in a Washington dispatch as follows: Twenty-seven negroes are employed in the White House, 26 in the state department, 926 in the treasury, 170 in the war department, 174 in the navy department, 87 in the post office department, 43 in the department of justice, 164 in the department of agriculture, 239 in the government printing office, 41 in the interstate commerce commission, 115 in the senate office building, 46 in the congressional library, 171 in the Washington post office and 2,413 in the District of Columbia local government. In the department service outside of Washington 16 negroes are employed in the diplomatic and consular service, 1,082 in the treasury branches, 2,343 in the war department, 3,599 in the post office department, 31 in the interior department, 102 in the department of agriculture and 775 miscellaneously. There are 635 negroes employed by the government in New York, 670 in Chicago, 195 in St. Louis, from forty to ninety in the other large cities of the country, and 14,130 in miscellaneous towns. The aggregate sum drawn from the treasury in each year by colored employees is $12,576,760. Of the few American negroes who have found their way to West Africa to settle in the negro republic of Liberia 99 per cent are unprepared to meet the economic conditions and express regret at having left America. These, excepting a few who can not secure passage money, return to the United States. Some have been assisted by the American consul in securing passage on sailing vessels returning to America. Few, other than well-educated American negroes, can accommodate themselves to the existing racial, religious and economic conditions, the natives always considering them foreigners. There are some sixty thousand negroes in Chicago. The number has doubled in the last 15 years. This increase has come almost wholly from the South. This fact has to be considered in every problem which has to do with church comity. The social and economic pressure which stimulated this migration is increasingly active in spite of the fact that in the last ten years the negro has gradually lost almost every occupation that was originally his in the northern cities. Chicago, however, still has the reputation "of offering the largest liberty to all citizens of all colors and languages of any community in the North." Over forty-five thousand of these negroes live on Chicago's South side. In the district bordered on the north by Twenty-seventh street, and on the south by Fifty-seventh street, extending three blocks eastward and westward are ten of the leading negro Baptist churches and seven Baptist missions with an aggregate membership of 6,000, and with a Sunday school attendance that would add 2,000 more.

The paper is the Kentucky Gazette, published at Lexington, Kentucky, August 30, 1890, nearly one hundred and eleven years ago. Have the yellow that which more than a century has left on the paper, it is well preserved, every article being perfectly legible. The present day publications are a great improvement over the papers published in those days, accepting this one as a standard of its day and time, but when we think of the modern mechanical improvements which has come to the relief of the modern printers, we must admit that the boys of the olden days must have been masters of the art. The alphabetic characters used in those days were the same as those used now, except the letter "a" which, as it appears in the antique Gazette, is very much like the letter "f," and was used frequently jointly with the regular "s." This relic of the early days is the property of J. C. Clemons, a rooming house keeper at Bartlesville. Mr. Clemons was born in Kentucky and this old copy of the Gazette has been in his family for years. Following is an article copied from this paper which no doubt will be of interest to our readers: Negro Method of Taming the Shrew. (Taken from "Park's Travels" published in "The Kentucky Gazette," August 20, 1902.) "I departed from Konjour and slept at a village called Molia, or Malainga, and soon after arrived at Kelor, a considerable town; near the entrance of which I observed, hanging upon a tree, a sort of masquerade habit, made of the bark of trees which I was told, on enquiry, belonged to Minnbo Jumbo. This is a strange bugbee common to all the Mandingo towns and much employed in keeping the women in subjection; for as the Rasirs are not restricted in the number of their wives, every one marries as many as he can conveniently maintain; and as it frequently happens that the ladies disagree among themselves, family quarrels sometimes rise to such a height that the authority of the husband can no longer preserve peace in his household. "In such cases the interposition of Mumbo Jumbo is called in and is always decisive. "This strange minister of justice (who is supposed to be either the husband himself or some person instructed by him) disguised in the dress that has been mentioned, and armed with the rod of public authority, announces his coming (when his services ore required) by loud and dismal screams in the woods near the town. "He begins the pantomimel at the approach of night, and as soon as it is dark he enters the town and proceeds to Bentang where all the inhabitants instantly assemble. "It may easily be supposed that exhibition is not mush relished by the women; for a sthe person in disguise is entirely unknown to them, every married female suspects that the visit may possibly be intended for herself; but they dare not refuse to appear when they are summoned, and the ceremony commences with songs and dances which continue until midnight, about which time, Mumbo fixes on the offender. "This unfortunate victim being there upon immediately seized, is stripped naked, tied to the post and severely scourged with Mumbo's rod, amidst the shouts and oderies of the whole assembly; and it is remarkable, that the rest of the women are loudest in their acclamations on this occasion against their unhappy sister. 'Daylight puts an end to this indecent and unmanly revel." A very interesting feature of this early day publication is the sheriff sales, administrators sales, etc., advertised therein. These documents mentions the sale of real estate and personal property, which included slaves and are very lengthy and accurate. The following poem was also copied from the Gazette: [Picture of a man in a suit]. L. C. CLEMONS. Prosperous Citizen of Bartle ville whose Brother owns a copy of The Kentucky Gazette, Published 111, years ago. The Bachelor's Soliloquy, or a New Song in Praise of Woman. Happy a man may pass his life When freed from matrimonial chains When he is governed by a wife He's sure to suffer for his pains. What tongue is able to declare The fallings which in women dwell The worth that falls to woman's share Can scarce be called perceptible. In all the female race appear Hypocorcy, deceit and pride; Truth—daring of hearts sincere, In woman never can reside. They're always studying to employ Their time in vanity and prate, Their leisure hours in social joy To spend, is what all women hate. Destruction take the men I say Who make of women their delight Those who contempt to women pay Keep rpudence always in sight. (When read in praise of women, the first and third lines must be read; then the second and fourth.) Mr. Clemons will not allow this cheerished relic out of his possession. He says he would not take $200.00 for it. Clemons formerly lived at Muskogee, where he was considered a very prosperous citizen. He owned several houses and lots there and saved a considerable sum of money. About two years ago he moved to Bartlesville and started a rooming house. Mrs. Clemons, his wife, is an expert seamstress nad together they are conducting a very thriving business. L. C. Clemons; a borer to J. C. Clemons, is also a prosperous business man of Bartlesville. He is proprietor of the Busy Bee Restaurant, which, as the name implies, is busy day and night. It is said that he does more business than any other one cafe in town white or black. He is also proprietor of a barber shop and owner of several rent houses. He gives employment to half dozen or more people. L. C. Clemons was born at Martin, Tennessee, and was practically reared in that state. He lived in Kansas City ten years and moved to Muskogee, Oklahoma, where he conducted a successful business for eight years. Two years ago he went to Bartlesville and opened the Busy Bee. Mr. Clemons is one of the owners of the Bartlesville Blues Baseball Club which is given credit for having one of the best Colored teams in the state last year. This club is launching a new team this year which will challenge all comers. Last year, accompanied by his wife, who is his partner in business, Mr. Clemons took a general tour of the Northwest, visiting all of the principle cities. This year he will take another extended trip, and next year he will take his wife to the Panama Exposition at San Francisco. Without question the coziest and most up-to-date Ice Cream Parlor and Soda fountain for the Colored people in Bartlesville is owned by J. A. Glivens, who is also one of the pros- TULSA. OKLA. STAR perous citizens of Bartlesville. Mr. Givens moved to Bartlesville a little more than two years ago from Coffeyville, Kansas. He is a native son of Arkansas, born at Ft. Smith. He came to Oklahoma several years ago and stopped at Muskogee, and while there met Miss Hetta Lewis, one of the bellies of the Creek Tribe who he afterwards married. Mr. Givens also lived for a while at independence, Kansas, and is well known by the leading business men of that city. Mr. Givens is also one of the promoters of the Bartlesville Blues Baseball Club. He is rated as one of the wealthiest Colored men of Bartlesville. But above all else he is a true race man who believes in fostering race enterprises. A more detailed write up of Bartlesville will appear in this paper in the near future. Dr. Morris in Tulsa Town The coming of Dr. E. C. Morris to Tulsa last Sunday was marked with much pomp and ceremony. The reception at the First Baptist church was fit for a king, and indeed the guest of the evening was herald as a "king." Sunday morning at 11 o'clock a large crowd gathered at the church to hear the great Baptist leader and at 2 o'clock p.m. a long column gathered at the First Baptist church and marched to the Grand Opera House which had been engaged for the occasion. Among those who appeared on the program to welcome Dr. Morris was Dr. Floyd, pastor of the White Baptist church of this city. Dr. Floyd delivered a very impressive address of welcome and was frequently interrupted in his discourse with enthusiastic applause from the audience. Mayor Wooden whose name appeared on the program did not present in person nor by proxy. Dr. Morris was introduced by Rev. J. F. Kersh, pastor of the First Baptist church and received a great ovation from the audience. His talk dealt mainly with the progress of the Negro, his subject being "The Negro Has Made Good." He is an able talker and has no doubt given much study to the condition of the race in this country. Dr. Morris is the only Negro member of the International Peace Conference which was organized in 9112 and has been for twenty consecutive years president of the National Baptist Convention with a constituency of more than two and a half million of people. His stay in Tulsa was made as pleasant as possible and he left Monday with a kindly feeling toward the people of this city. Rev. Kersh is due the credit for bringing this noted leader to Oklahoma, and Oklahoma City and Muskogee are equally indebted to him since these cities were favored with this distinguished guest Monday and Tuesday nights respectively. LAMB QUIT TAKING SNUFF Threw Box Away on Hampstead Health, but Was Searching for it Next Morning. Hamstead Heath may yet contain a precious relic of Charles Lamb. "One summer's evening," writes Hone, "I was walking on Hampstead Heath with Charles Lamb, and we had talked ourselves into a philosophic contempt of our slavery to the habit of snuff taking, and with the firm resolution of never again taking a single pinch we threw our snuffboxes away from the bill on which we stood, 'ar among the turge and brambles below, and wents home in triumph; I began to be very miserable, wretched all night; to the morning I was walking on the same hill; I saw Charles Lamb below, searching among the bushes; he looked up laughing, and saying, 'What you are come to look for your snuff box too!' "Oh, no, said I 'taking a pince out of a paper in my e-street pocket' I went for a halfpenny worth to the first shop that was open."—London brochure ```markdown ``` Lawyer Hutchins was called to the bedside of his sick mother in Jackson, Tenn.

[High School Contest] William H. Council was born in Fayetteville, N. C., 1848, and was carried to Alabama by the 'siders in 1852 through the Richmond slave pen in Alabama he worked in the fields with other slaves. W. H. Councill is a self-made man, having only a few school advantages. He attended one of the first schools opened by kind northern friends, at Stevenson, Ala., in 1865. At this school he remained about three years and this is the basis of his education. He has been a close and earnest student since; often spending much of night in study. He accumulated quite an excellent library and the best books of the best masters are his constant comparisons, as well as a large supply of the best current literature. By private instruction and almost incessant study he gained a fair W. H. Councill was enrolling clerk of Alabama House of Representatives in 18724. He was appointed by President Grant receiver of the Land Office for the northern district of Alabama in 1875. He founded the A. and M. college at Huntsville in 1873. He being the only teacher with twelve ragged students appealed to the citizens of Alabama for aid, and was aided. Today A. and M. college stands as a star to the negroes of the South. Mr. Councill occupied high positions in church and other religious, temerence and charitable organizations. Prof. Councilill has traveled a great deal in Europe and was warmly received and entertained by the Hon. W. E. Gladstone and His Majesty, King Leopold, of Belgium, (son of Queen Victoria) and thus by earnest toll, self-denial, hard study, he made himself one of America's most worthy negroes. Mr. Councilill was a friend of Bishop Turner and raised thousands of dollars to aid him in the redemption and civilization of the Africans. Normal (the school which Prof. Councilill founded) is educating native Africans for the purpose of aiding the heathern Africans. Prof. Council is the author of "The Lamp of Wisdom" and wrote for the leading magazines of the country. His life was linked for twenty and five years with Miss Maria Weeden (one of whom graduated from Norman.) To whom four children were born. Mr. Council died April 17, 1907, after a brief illness. His death was mourned by the majority of the negroes of the South. P. S. Over one hundred and fifty thousand Negroes have graduated from Normal (under Prof. Council) in the last quarter of century.

"I would be in my grave but for Dr. Miles' Heart Remedy I could not walk across the house and the doctors I had told my husband I had consumption.
