Kansas City Man On Staff G. W. HARRISON TAKES CHARGE OF SUBSCRIPTION AND ADV. DEPTS. OF THE STAR Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Harrison until recently residents of Kansas City have cast their lot in Tulsa and are now bonafide Tulsans in the full sense of the term. Mr. Harrison has accepted a position as general solicitor and advertising manager of THE TULSA STAR and has already taken up his duty. He plans to visit in person or his agent every home in Tulsa, especially the East End in an effort to add at least a thousand new subscribers to the Stars subscription list before Xmas. Mr. Harrison has put in a number of years in the insurance business at which work he was a great success. He is well pleased with his work on the Star staff so far, because the people of Tulsa responded so freely. Basket Picnc For Rentie People The people of the Rentie Settlement near Jenks, Okla., will have a jolly good time in the old way tomorrow if the weather Gods permit. The occasion will be a grand rally by the A. M. E. Church. An old time basket picnic will be the crowning feature of the day and people will travel several miles to be present at this love feast. Presiding Elder Perrin will be there. VENTING SPLEEN ON THE WRONG MAN THE TULSA STAR is a home paper—a home enterprise striving to promote the general interest and welfare of our city and people. We are now endeavoring to give our readers a bigger and better paper and better printing. With this end in view we have secured the service of Mr. Harrison, an old resident of Kansas City, who has taken over the subscription and advertising department of the Star. Mr. Harrison is a cultured gentleman and treats every one with courtesy becoming the dignity of a gentleman. In making his rounds getting acquainted with the people it has been his misfortune to come in contact with only TWO people who were unkind discourteous to him. One of these mistook him for a white man and the other treated him discourteously because of a personal feeling against the editor of this paper. Mr. Harrison might easily be mistaken for a white man, but he admits with pride that his mother was a black woman. Now we know there are some people who dislike the editor with or without cause and because of this fact would not spend one 5 cents to foster this enterprise even though it be to their own interest to do so. We simply smile at such folly and pass on. But when a man or woman mistreats a gentleman who is employed by this paper just because they have some personal dislikes for the editor we do not propose to take it so easily. Now we are going to ask the general public to receive Mr. Harrison as a gentleman deserving of courteous treatment and refrain from making him feel badly by venting the spleen of bitter personal feelings against the editor of the paper for which he is working. African Soldiers Startle The World with Fighting Tactis Easily Absorb Modern Methods of Warfare and Infuse Into Every Battle a Native Shrewdness That Amazes Their Superiors, but Ends in Victory TURCOS ARE KIND TO WOUNDED Men Noted for Ferocity in Battle Nurses and Care for Injured Enemies With the Tenderness of Women—Have Inborn Knowledge of Healing. PARIS, France, Oct. 9.—The wonder in military circles here is the wonderful and peculiar knowledge of warfare possessed by the Turcos and other native African troops. Eye-witnesses of recent battles and careful perusal of the reports of the commanding generals tell how easily the African troops absorb the modern methods of fighting, but how they Infuse an indescribable something into their every tion—something not according to the strictest rules of playing the game but which always brings results. "I respectfully report detailed action of the troops under my command up to midnight, Sept.——, but beg to add that I find no way to explain the tactics of Troop—— used in a midnight encounter we had Sept.——. There was no attempt to go beyond orders, but in advance and in the actual these troops possessed a style utterly beyond our comprehension. Victory has been ours in every engagement The foregoing is an extract from a recent report that was not intended for the eyes of the public. Stories are being told everywhere of the tenderness and sympathy displayed by these ferocious Turcos for their wounded enemies. A story is told of a wounded soldier, a German, who was given first, aid treatment by these despised African soldiers and carried to a division hospital later. These native African soldiers have an inborn knowledge of the art of healing, and it is not of the vooodo kind. The Fall of Monarchies. Many predict the fall of several monarchies. The coming of the common people into their own—that is government of their own choosing. This is problematical, but even the smallest boy knows that the end of the present war will see vast changes throughout Europe and Africa. The black man did not help to build the autocratic empires, but black soldiers are taking a big part in tearing them down, and no one can foretell the part they will take in the governments that succeed.

GERMANS TAKE ANTWERP AFTER TERRIFIC SIEGE Chief Seaport and Temporary Capital of Belgium Gives Up and Government Files to Ostend. REFUGEES SUFFER Half Million of Them Brew Roads in Holland—All Depotts— Airship Bombs Kill 5 In Paris (Summary of Events.) The Germans have captured Antwerp, cried sequest and temporary capital of Belgium, after a siege of two weeks. They have imposed a fine of one hundred million dollars on the citizens for resisting the invaders, and have taken over the civil administration. When it was seen that Antwerp could not hold out indefinitely against the kinsman's great grus, the seat of government and royal family hurried to Ostend, a famous seaside resort just across the channel from England. The Germans have sent a strong column toward Ostend in an effort to capture the royal family. It is reported that the queen and her children have fled to England. The city of Antwerp has not been badly damaged. The architectural monuments, including the cathedral, the public library, the city hall and the art museum are untouched. When the German commander sent notice to the Belgians that he was about to bombard the city, the defenders sent him a map indicating the position of these famous buildings and assured him they would not be used in any manner to aid the defenders. Holland May Flight. Th fall of Antwerp places Holland squarely between the milestones of British and German interests. For Antwerp to be of any use to Germany as a base for naval or aerial operations against England the kaliber must control the mouth of the Schelde, which is altogether in Dutch hands. Germany is arguing the Dutch government to rebellish that control. Such diplomatic success by Germany would be a direct violation of the neutrality of Holland. In Northwestern France on the Allies' left wing, the main positions of the contending forces now reach the Belgian border, while beyond those points masses of cavalry continue the struggle over the frontier line and into Belgium. Along the greater part of the front, however, the antagonists seem content to watch each other without attempting any definite movements. French Much Encouraged. The strong German re-enforcements, which appeared on the Belgian frontier in the region of Lille according to a late report, have made no progress in any point, and at certain points the Germans have moved back, particularly to the north of Aras, where the fighting is developing under conditions favorable to the Allies. The cavalry are fighting even further north than this and the French communication says operations have developed almost to the North near Around Roye, where the Germans captured important heights from the French last week, the French have regained some of the positions. Nearer and Nearer to Antwerp. The present front is within about sixty-eight miles of Antwerp, where the Belgians offered such heroic resistance to the bombardment of the heavy German artillery. Further down toward the center of the line the severeest fighting continues at Roye Reims again has been subjected to a short bombardment. From the north of Alme, where two forward movements by the Anglo-French troops have been mentioned within the last few days, the Germans seem to have withdrawn some of their men, probably to strengthen their extreme right, around which the Allies have been trying to work ever since the battle began, nearly four weeks ago. The long extension of the battle line, which now has gone beyond the four officers, Scarpe, Somme, Oise and Ahlene, was initiated by the Allies in an endeavor to find a solution of the problem of nursing the Germans from their strong position in Northeastern France. In these positions the Germans had been besieged nearly a month, since the conclusion of the bloody battle of the Marne, a frontal attack being considered inexperienced by the Allies. Aeroplane Biomite Depth: During the last week German authorities have drawn several times over Paris, killing five persons and wounding nearly forty by dropping bombs. Property damage has been small. During the last day of the siege of Lansberg, German authorities dropped bombs on the city, killing twenty non-combatants. Perfuges a Grave Problem. What to do with the refugees of the war is a grave problem that has been formed or all the governments of Europe, belliparent and neutral. Fully five hundred thousand people died from Anwarp. Correspondence in the field attempt to describe the painful, the grimly, scenes among the women and children struggling along the roads bordering the frontier of England, and then give the answer. Many small Dutch towns have been forced to close their grates, as they cannot accommodate any more refugees France and England are feeling the pressure, so especially France. It is calculated that almost 1 million more persons have died into Central, Western and Southern France from the north and northern of France and from Belgium. All of these are delicate in the literal sense of the word—without money, without clothes (except such as they are wearing), without homes or belongings of any kind. They are beaten by hunger and disease, and their sufferings have been such that their spirits are broken, and it is impossible to expect them to do useful work that will compensate for the cost of feeding and housing them. Eastern Battle Line Long. The big handle line between the combined Austro-German armies and the legions of Russia extends from the Gallician frontier, near Tarnow, north to the East Prussian border. Another Russian force is besieging Prunyml, in Gallicia, and still another is invading Hungary. On the East Prussian frontier the fighting appears to have come to a standstill for the present. The Russians have driven the Germans back, after their advance to the Nömen river, found on getting to the German border, that re-enforcements had been brought from Koenigsberg and their further progress was arrested. The Germans, in fact, claim to have defeated the Russians near Suwailk, and to have taken 2,700 prisoners and nine machine guns. Firing on a larger scale soon will be resumed, and it will then be decided whether the Germans are to invade Russia in this region or the Russians are to overrun Prussia. Austrians Advancing In Southwestern Poland the Austro-German armies have advanced along both banks of the Vistula river, with the object of compelling the Russians to evacuate part of Galicia, and, according to their reports, have defeated them, capturing 4,800 prisoners. The Russians reply that they allowed the enemy to advance as far as the Opytow-Sandomir front in order to force them to abandon their strongly entrenched position near Kielce and accept battle in the open country. Since this battle nothing has come through concerning the movements of the two armies. The advance of the Russians into Hungary has aroused intense feeling in Hungaria, with respect to Transylvania, and a section of that country is advocating that Rumania join the Allies, so that with the end of the war, should victory rest with the Allies. Rumania may fall heir to that part of the Austro-Hungarian Axis. TULSA. OKLA. STAR When you want a nice quick lunch for yourself or family think of Sky Russian Air Stopped. Berlin.

Hol- den and Prof. Charles Zueb- lin on the Program for Addresses, The Oklahoma State Education will hold its annual convention in Okla- homa City, November 5, 6, and 7, 1914. Twelve thousand programs are now being printed and sent to every county superintendent, city superin- tendent, school president, and princl- pal in the state. These programs will be distributed to every teacher in the s#tate—about 10,000 in all. Probably never such a group of men vf national character and reputation have been preseated on a program in Oklahoma as will be presented at this convention. Dr. Charles H. Judd, director of the School of Education of the University of Chicago, is now rec- ognized as one of the few really great men in the field of educational psy- chology and educational problems, and yet no one is so practical and careful in the application of principles to education as Dr. Judd. He is a most fluent talker without notes, as sim- ple and clear as a primary teacher in the presentation of his work, Professor Charles Zeublin of Dos: ton, the noted sociologist, publicist, and lecturer, will give two of his vers best lectures: “Education for Free- om,” and “Democratic Culture” at the convention. He is one of our foremost soctal workers and spends his entire time now in lecturing. Dr. Woods Hutentson, the great writer-lecturer-physician, will deliver one of his best lectures during the sessions of the convention. Professor P. G.

It is the greatest agency for the improvement of educa. tional work in Oklahoma and it is expected that the number in attend: ance will vasily reach 4,000. It is hoped that school boards everywhere will recognize the great opportunities at hand and ask their teachers to attend, Very low hotel rates are being of. fered by the hotels of Oklahoma City and a full list of these and prices will be found in the programs, Practically every state in the Union now holds its State Teachers’ Asso: clation in November, since it comes at a time when all can attend and when teachers are looking about for better means and ways of improv. ing their work, Kansas, in changing from Christmas time to November, brought the attendance to over 5,000 —twice what it bad been, and Michi. gan brought {ts enrollment to over 7,000 last November by the same change.

J. McAlester, which were based upon action of the board of prison control, whether favorable or unfavorable, are regular instruments and their beeficiaries will be released from the state penitentiary, whther the papers are attested by the scre- tary of state or not, according to the decision of Judge Preslie B. Cole, in habeas corpus proceedings in district court . Where petitions for clemency have not been regularly presented and passed upon by th board, the court held that the acting governor proceed ed without avthority, in which habeas | corpus writs were denied. Only twelve cases were presented but those others coming under the ruling may obtain release upon appli cation. Of the twelve applying seven were granted release and five denied. In all, the Heutenant governor grantec | fifty-six pardons, paroles or commuta jtions during the absence from the state of Governor Cruce. Nine of these were attested as regular by the secretary of state. Governor Cruce has issued an or der revoking the forty-seven not at tested, but the court refused to rec: ognize the revocations, even on pa roles, holding in such cases that pa: roles can be revoked only when viola tions of conditions of parole is shown Judge Samuel W. Hayes represent ed the governor and prison officials, in opposing the writs, while the case of the petitioners was presented by At torney E. G, McAdams and Norman Haskell. Secretary of State Ben F Harrison and Miss Martha Rosenthal pardon clerk, were called as witness: es. Miss Rosenthal denied the insinu ation that she had hidden the records of her office in order to thwart the pardoning activity of the acting gov ernor. The petitioners argued that the at testation of the secretary of state is merély a ministerial act and that suf ficient attestation as to the authentic ity of the acting governor's signatur« was given when Secretary Harrisor certified to the fact that copies of the pardons had been presented to him t¢ which he refused to attach his seal Furthermore, they argued that the pardoning powers of the governor haye not legaliy been limited by the creation of tha,prison board. Judge Hayes claimed that the at testation of the secretary of state is neessary to complete the act of par doning and that, until the seal is af fixed, a revocation from the governor can recall such acts of clemency. The petitioners had their recourse. he said in mandamus proceedings. The great er part of lus argument was directed to the question of whether or not the governor's pardoning power is abso jute. Final authority is left in hands of the governor, Judge Hayes admit ted, and he can go even beyond the recommendations of the prison boar¢ on cases presented. Judge Hayes ar gued that the laws of the state have | fixed certain regulations which are | binding and which require that all re quests for executive clemency must pass through the hands of the prison board.

Pinkham’s Vege- table Compound a trial after all the evidence that is con- tinually being published, which proves beyond contradic tion that this grand old medicine has relieved more suffer ing among women than any other one medicine in the world? We have published in the newspapers of the United States more genuine testimonial letters than have ever been pub- lished in the interest of any other medicine for women— and every year we publish many new testimonials, all gen- uine and true.

Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has done for me. I did some heavy lifting and the doctor said it caused a displacement. I have always been weak and L overworked after my baby was born and inflammation set in, then nervous pros. tration, from which I did not recover until I had taken Lydia E.

From Mrs, J. D. Murdoch, Quincy, Mass. Sourn Quincy, Mass.—* The doctor said that I had organic trouble and he doctored ‘me for along time and I did not get any relief. I saw Lydia E.

LATE ADVICE FROM THE GOLD COAST OF AFRICA, is to the effect that representatives of the different denominations in the world are trying to get ships in which to return suffering Americans, who are stranded in Africa, back to the United States. The truth of the crime enacted by Chief Sam perhaps will never be told to the mass of the American people. It is reported as terrible, and a blessing that it has not been worse, through no effort of the Chief. In the present panic the poor people whom Sam has robbed are suffering, being driven from place to place, as undeesirables, and in many cases are dying like rats. REDUCING THE COTTON CROP FROM EVERY SECTION comes the cry: "Reduce the Cotton Crop. It we have had the same condition with the wheat crop, in the past we have met with cotton in the cotton belt, this year. They reduce the wheat crop, but looked about for something which companion crop with his wheat. In other words he did not enter upon his wheat, and thereby hangs the tale. If the farmer belt learned how to make other crops take care of him and his cotton would be all his, and he was not always forced to sell allows price, there would be good money in the crop. FROM EVERY SECTION comes the cry: "Reduce the Cotton Crop." In the past we have had the same condition with the wheat crop, in the wheat belt that we have met with cotton in the cotton belt, this year. The farmer did not reduce the wheat crop, but looked about for something which would make a companion crop with his wheat. In other words he did not depend altogether upon his wheat, and thereby hangs the tale. If the farmer in the cotton belt learned how to make other crops take care of him and his debts, so that his cotton would be all his, and he was not always forced to sell, at the other fellows price, there would be good money in the crop.

DOWN IN CARTER COUNTY the Negro farmers have joined with the Socialists in a movement to force better prices for their cotton. The papers call these organizations "Night Riders," which is fair evidence that we may look at any time for the white farmers to get the Negro members of the organization in some terrible "Jam." Every year the poor Negro gets up against some white gang of crooks who plan to get the poor Negroes chops for nothing. And some Negroes fall for the game every year.

This plan was endorsed by the whole Southern representation, and things went merry for a while; but President Wilson does not seem inclined to the plan and very recently he broke the ice by appointing a Negro, who had been a faithful servant to the Secretaries of State, of recent administrations, to a clerkship in some of the departments, conditioned that he need not take the Civil Service tests.

NEGRO TROOPS IN THE WORLDS WAR IN THE GREAT EUROPEAN WAR now going on the Negro, the real African type, has demonstrated that he makes a good soldier. They are brave and faithful, as allies. We wonder what they would do if they were in a war for themselves. The American Negro may yet be called upon to do soldier duty in a country where all his citizen rights are denied. It will be a wise suggestion if the United States would learn a lesson from England, in the matter of warfare. In the case mentioned, it became necessary for England, at a very critical time in the war, to make an appeal to her Negro citizens, in Africa, to stand by the English people, for which allegiance England promises to the Negro in Africa, all the rights of an English citizen. America may yet be glad to do the same. The Scourge of Race Prejudice There is no greater sin afflicting the human family than that of race prejudice, and this deep and damning scourge prevails to a greater degree in America than in any other country in the world. Race prejudice is a fearful affliction. It cuts like a two-edged sword, both ways, injuring permanently the victim and the persecutor. In the last analysis the victim from race prejudice suffers but a little more than the man who inflicts the prejudice. We live in a great and growing country. America would be truly the land of the free and the home of the brave, if it was not for the terrible scourge—race prejudice. Our country is great and ample in area, opporl tunities and resources for all the people who make up our cosmopolitan population to succeed and grow into useful possibilities, but the one handicap, the one bar lying fundamentally at the root of our success and greatest possibilities is that of race prejudice. The white man, a superior and intelligent race is the great disseminater of this scourge and deadly disease. There is no section of our common country that is free from prejudice. The Negro and the Jew are the greatest sufferers in this country. The white man's prejudice, with all of its power and far-reaching consequences, is amied vitally at the black man's progress. In spite of the white man's education, his wealth and his opportunities; in spite of his superior advantages, he is not willing to give the black man an equal chance in the struggle for bread and butter. He is not willing that his child shall have an equal opportunity with his in the schools, that he shall worship in as good a church house, that he shall have the same chance in the trades, in commerce, in the shops, in the fields and other facilities. The white man does not seem to understand that his prejudice exercises a woeful ignorance at the base. He does not seem to realize that he can not keep a black man down unless he retards his own progress; that prejudice, like a two-edge sword, cuts both ways. It punishes the victims and enslaves the persecutor. It narrows the white man's vision, lessens his possibilities and deprives him of that development that his native ability and opportunity promises him The Negro is for peace, for harmony and for the most cordial race relation. He asks no favors, he begs no quarter. He simply asks the opportunity of a man. He wants an equal chance in the shops, in commerce, at the trades and in every field of human endeavor. He wants equal opportunity for his children's education and advancement. He wants a voice in the government of his country. He is opposed to government without the consent of the governed. He is for the government of his people, for the people and by the people. He wants a representative at court, and he does not ask the white man to deprive himself of any opportunity or any advantages he has. He does not only argue that he should have equal school facilities, every opportunity to serve his God as he wills and the right to every other facility that the country affords, but he demands an equal chance, an equal opportunity along with his white brother in the struggle for existence and in the battle for the development of his possibilities. And he serves notice on the white man that in spite of the limitations with which he is surrounded by law, statute and customs that he is going to make good; that he is going to have his opportunities and that he is not going to get them by law or through politics, but they are coming to him because he deserves them, because he earns his rights, because of his worth as a man, because of his accumulation as a race, because of the respectability of his personality and his indispensability in the community in which he lives. The Negro accepts the white man's prejudice and intrigues against him as the highest evidence of the equality of mankind; that the color of the skin cuts no figure and is no label for ability, character or respectability; that the black man can be as honest and as upright, as intelligent and as useful as the whitest man, if he elects to be; and the whitest man can be as trifling, as indolent, as worthless and as much of a menace to the happiness and prosperity in the community in which he lives as any black criminal, if he elects to be. Prejudice is a woeful scourge, a far-reaching sin, an unpardonable crime, that is as damaging to the white man who cultivates and grows it, as to the Negro who receives and suffers from its pangs and cruelties; and in the last analysis, the white man who persecutes the Negro, because of his color, will be the greatest sufferer. The white man, who is monarch of all that surveys, who makes and directs the civilization of the world belies his own logic when he denies the individual, whom he deems as his inferior, an equal opportunity in the struggle for advancement. If the white man is superior to the black man, why not give his inferior an equal chance with him in the trades, in the shops, in the fields and in the school room? Why not give the little Negro boy and girl equal educational advantages, equal recreation facilities and equal opportunities to develop themselves into useful and helpful citizens? If it is necessary to give a white boy, who is superior, all kinds of (Continued on page five) The Popular Drug Store Patent Medicines, Toilet Articles, And Special Sundries Ice Cream and Cold Drinks Popular Things For Particular People J.

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 hill on which we stood, far among the furze and brambles below, and went home in trumps; I began to be very miserable, was wretched all night; in 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 pinch out of a paper in my waistcoat pocket. 'I went for. a halfpenny worth to the first shop that was open.'"—London Chronicle.

TREET CLEANING LONG AGO Franklin's Autobiography Tells How He Promoted the First Contract Job in Philadelphia. Recently at one of the luncheons of the City Club of Philadelphia there was read an extract from the autobiography of Benjamin Franklin which was raid to describe the first instance of street cleaning by contract in Philadelphia. The incident is interesting also, however, as illustrating citizen co-operation in its original simplicity. "One day," Franklin wrote, "I found a poor industrious man, who was willing to undertake keeping the pavement clean by sweeping it twice a week, carrying off the dirt from before all the neighbors' doors, for the sum of six-pence per month, to be paid by each house. I then wrote and printed a paper setting forth the advantages to the neighborhood that might be obtained by this small expense. I sent one of these papers to each house, and in a day or two went around to see who would subscribe an agreement to pay these six pences; it was unanimously signed, and for a time well executed. This raised a general desire to have all the streets paved, and made the people more willing to subscribe to a tax that purpose."—The Survey.

GREENWOOD ST ORGET TULSA, OKLA TULSA, OKL AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS AFRO-AMERICAN The fifty-second anniversary of the issuance of the emancipation proclamation by Abraham Lincoln, September 22, 1862, was observed by the National Emancipation Commemorative society with appropriate exercises at Washington, with Representative Simeon D. Fess of Ohio as principal speaker. Mr. Fess spoke on "Abraham Lincoln, the Ideal American," the man who had made his way to the front by pluck and determination, and by keeping his conscience right with God. "Lincoln and Horace Mann," said the speaker, "are two characters in American history that the youth of our country would do well to emulate." Miss Ethel Robinson read an original poem on "A Half Century of Freedom." T. Thomas Fortune congratulated the commemorative society for having selected the 27th of September for annual observance in memory of the issuance of the emancipation proclamation. Judge Robert H. Terrell reminded the colored people that there is always a sentiment of fair play in the bosom of the American people and that they never fail when they have a just cause properly presented. Rev. William Wallace McCary held that a greater knowledge of the Bible is the need of American educational system. Judson W. Lyons, former register of the treasury, would have Lincoln better studied by American youth. Rev. Arthur Randall, pastor of People's Congregational church, spoke of Professor Pickens of Talladega college, Alabama, as the black Abraham Lincoln. The committee on national exposition of colored Americans to be in this city reported it was trying to select the proper site for the exposition, and that co-operation from every section of the country has been promised. The Indiana state convention of Federated Colored Clubs closed a successful meeting at the Colored Y. M. C. A. building at Indianapolis with the election of the following officers: Mrs. Gertrude B. Hill, Indianapolis, president; Mrs. Mayme Russell, Wabash, first vice-president; Mrs. Adalee Simms, Indianapolis, second vice-president; Mrs. Maud Herring, Crawfordsville, corresponding secretary; Mrs. Jessie Wade, South Bend, recording secretary; Mrs. Anna Julius, Marion, treasurer; Mrs. Minnie Knox, Muncie, state organizer. Following her election, the president announced the appointive offices, which showed few changes. Mrs. Emma Hickman of South Bend, who has been state organizer nine years, was appointed chairman of the executive committee. The final reports showed 97 clubs in the federation, with a total membership of 1,568 women. Seventy-two delegates and 21 state officers were in attendance. The money subscribed during the last year was $1,448. The next convention will be held in Connersville. Talking machine records made by photography will be the next development in the reproduction of sound. Invented by a Russian named Lifschitz, a new machine has been made which, it is said, reproduces music and sounds of any kind with perfect clearness, without any rasping or scraping defects. Booker Washington, once said a visitor to the Tuskegee institute, is a man of good judgment and rare caution. It is related that at one time when the Southern states were legislating against the negroes, practically disfranchising them all over the South. Mr. Washington, who was in New York, was approached by representatives from all the newspapers of the city to get his opinion. His only answer was, "When I talk about Southern conditions I talk in the South." When we attend evening devotions, which are conducted by the principal, we are disappointed in not hearing this earnest man give a talk to the students, but we do hear music that we will not soon forget, "Jesus, Lover of My Soul," with full orchestra and more than seventeen hundred mellow negro voices. Afterwards a number of plantation melodies, the folk lore of the race, are sung without accompaniment. The cost of replacing with steel cars all the passenger cars in use on the railroads of the United States is estimated at more than $600,000,000. That the higher education of the negro has not been a failure in furnishing opportunities for success may be illustrated by three concrete examples here in Chicago. First there is a brown-skinned lawyer, with a clientele almost exclusively white, who stands at the head of his profession. He began life a poor boy, worked his way through college, and when he was examined for admission to the bar was obliged to button his shabby overcoat close to his person in order to hide the ragged and tattered suit he wore. Today he is said to be worth $1,000,000 in real estate, stocks and bonds, and has an income of $30,000 per annum from his practice alone. He has recently returned from a tour around the world, and states that only in his native land has he ever suffered any indignity on account of his color. A colored dentist who is considered one of the leaders in his profession has an income of from $12,000 to $15,000 per year. He numbers among his patrons some of the most exclusive white families in the city. He is the only colored member of the Illinois State Dental association and was at one time elected president of the organization. The most famous colored surgeon in the world lives in Chicago. His greatest fame rests upon the fact that he was the first surgeon in all the world to operate successfully on the living human heart. He is the founder of Provident hospital and Training school and is now on the staff of St. Luke's hospital. He has gained wealth as well as fame, for his fortune runs into six figures. I could give hundreds of instances where colored men have made good in the professions.—Rev. A. J. Carey. The work for girls at Hampton institute leads to the important occupations of homemaking and teaching. When a girl enters Hampton institute she has the opportunity of receiving thorough training in domestic science. The girls work daily for 12 months in the laundry and in the boarding departments under the supervision of experienced teachers, and carry on their academic studies in the evening the same as the boys who are in the work class. The mental and moral training that the year of combined work and study gives makes it one of the most valuable years of the course. The working day for the girls is shorter than for the boys, but a girl may earn from $15 to $18 a month. This enables her to be entirely self-supporting during her first year in school and to accumulate a balance toward defraying the expenses of the second year. A girl in the work class needs very little money besides her entrance fee and first month's board. The course is advised for all new girls regardless of their ability to pay their way in the day school. Throughout their course at Hampton institute, negro and Indian girls are taught the elements of arithmetic, English, agriculture, history, as well as scientific housekeeping, physiology, cooking and sewing, and the principles of teaching. Hampton aims to fit girls for useful living wherever they may happen to be thrown. Jamaica has been keeping a record of all incoming letters having shortage in postage and found that the United States was the chief offender in this respect. Tuskegee institute has 182 teachers, heads of departments, secretaries and clerks; between 1,700 and 1,800 students, not including 300 in the training school; and a large enough enrollment in the summer school to bring the number who receive instruction here during the year to more than 2,500. Forty-seven industries are taught at Tuskegee. A student can learn to be almost anything from the butcher or the baker to preacher, expert accountant, electrician, architect, or pipe organist. The Cuban pavilion at the Panama-Pacific international exposition will be two stories in height with a tower at one corner. On three sides will stretch the wide verandas of the Cuban plantation haclendas, and in the center of the building will be a large glass-covered patio with the gardens of Cuban plants, trees and flowers. The building will be 34 meters long by 33 meters wide. Two French engineers have invented grappling apparatus which in tests has successfully raised sunken submarines. A GOOD COMPLEXION GUARANTEED.

It occurred to me this morning that we should be so thankful that removing the shell from an egg is so much easier than removing the shell from an oyster." Sign Causes a Near Riot. A sign in the window of a grocery store at Forty-third and Butler streets that sugar was selling 25 pounds for $1.10 caused a rush of women. Men working at night or going to work in the early morning had read the sign and hastened to tell their wives of the sale. Three hundred women congregated, seeking opportunity to buy. The storekeeper found that a joker had been at work. Wednesday evening he had painted a sign, "Sugar, 25 pounds $1.90." Some one had erased the loop from the figure nine. —Pittsburgh Gazette-Times.

Ferdinand Succeeds; Nephew of Child. less Monarch In Line; Country Well Developed. Amsterdam.—A telegram received here from Vienna says that King Charles of Roumanta is dead, Recent dispatches have described King Charles of Roumania as being seriously ill but from other quarters his indisposition had been declared to be entirely political. It has been predicted lately that he was prepar- ing to abdicate, The succession to the throne of Roumania in the event of the king remaining childless was settled by the constitution upon his elder brother, Prince Leopold of Hohengollern-Sig: garingen, Leopold renounced _ his rights in favor of his son, Prince Wil- helm and Prince Wilhelm in 1888 re- nounced his rights in his turn in fa. vor of his brother, Prince Ferdinand, who was born in 1885. Cian Pee) = > Riper a CR ae ‘i PF b King Charlies. Prince Charles was born a Hohen- zollern, an older branch of the family than that of Emperor William of Ger- many, but none the less proud of its blood. He was the son of Prince Charles Anthony of Hohenzollern- Sigmaringen, who voluntarily re- signed the Hohenbollern regentshtp in favor of the Prussian crown and subsequently became prime minister of Prussia. It was while Charles was serving, at the age of 27, as an officer of high rank in the Prussian guard, that the Turkish provinces of Wallachia and Moldavia united to call them- selves Roumania and, casting their eyes about Europe for a foreign prince to govern them—since no native prince had been successful—took the advice of Napoleon III, and invited young Charles to be their prince. ‘The queen {s an author in inter- national repute, writing under the name of Carmen Sylva. ‘The council of ministers met in ex- traordinary session, the leaders of all parties being present.

It was recently announced that the Duteh across the border knew the Germans had beev routed by the riderless horses they saw galloping about fn troops, The return of riderless horses to camp is an almost certain sign of a rout that amounts almost to annihila- tion. A horse may lose {ts trooper, but, unless it is wounded, it will nearly always keep on with the rest. It the battle is lost, and the army {s driven from the field in confusion, the ownerless horses will return to camp or remain on the field, often galloping about in military formation, but avoiding the wounded. An army horse knows the trumpet call as well as its rider, aud when a squadron forms up to charge it will strain at the bit, anxious to be off; but it does not like waiting doing noth- ing, especially if exposed to fire. Many attempts have been made to extend the Geneva convention to an- imals; the proposal has received sympathy everywhere, but nothing definite has yet been done, though every soldier does his best for his steed so far as in him les, In this war the purple, instead of red, Genevan cross has been adopted by British horse lovers who intend to follow the battle lines to minister to wounded horses, and to assist rider less charges to escape hunger. Women Active in Battle. In all probability there were numer- ous women engaged in our Civil war, especially in the gallant South, Dur- ing the present Mexican anarchy and brigandage the brown women south of the Rio Grande have followed their men by hundreds and gone into the fight with rifles in their hands. The Boer women of the ‘Transvaal fought beside their men in practically every battle of both wars with England and won many laurels by their excellence in marksmanship and bravery. There are battalions of Chinese women ready to support the celestial republic, It is reported that female battalions are being formed in Ireland to defend the homes from invasion, Throughout the Balkans women are preparing for mili- tary activities, Got Him Both Ways, Diner—You charge me more for this steak than you used to, Restaurant Manager—I have to pay more for it. ‘The price of meat has gone up.

ST A R CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY in 1753 John Watt, an English theatrical manager, opposed a match between his daughter and a member of his company, not wishing her to marry an actor. He finally gave consent, however, consoling himself with the thought that the young man was not much of an actor. In this he was mistaken, for the young man, whose name was Roger Kemble, not only succeeded well in his profession, but became the founder of a family that is remarkable in the annals of the English stage. Twelve children were born to the couple, of whom eight reached maturity; and every one of the eight made some effort on the stage. The oldest child, Sarah, became the renowned Mrs. Siddons. The oldest son, John Phillip, was probably the greatest actor of his day, and was known as "the great Kemble." The eleventh child, Charles, was a renowned comedian, while his daughter, Fanny Kemble, was probably the best known to the public of all the family. Her sister, Adelalde, attained considerable popularity as a public singer. Her son married the daughter of General Grant. Nichol Hat Works Phone 207.
