A FEARLESS EXPONENT OF RIGHT AND JUSTICE THE TULSA STAR OUR SUBSCRIPTION LIST MAKES A VALUABLE MEDIUM FOR ADVERTISING Govenor Williams Signs "Jim Crow" Booth Bill! Vol. 3. No. 2 New Law is A Blemish On Intelligence Next Lesigislature May Pass A Law Prohibiting Negroes From Wearing Any Style of Clothes, Shoes or Hats That White Folks Wear OKLAHOMA CITY, April 1—Governor Williams signed twenty-six of the bills on his desk. Among them was the Jim Crow Telephone Booth bill. Another to be approved was the irrigation law that is designed to encourage the formation of irrigation districts. He also signed the resolutions providing for submission of amendments to the constitution at the election in 1916. The above is the result of some of the useless and foolish works of the fifth legislature and shows beyond a reasonable doubt that the majority of the members of both houses are very small and narrow minded. The telephone booths are made for only one person at a time and so far as we know no white person has ever been contaminated by using the booths after a Colored person. "What fools these mortals be." Annual Sermon of K. Ps. Preached By Rev. Brewer The K. of P. annual sermon was preached here last Sunday in the Dreamland Theatre on North Greenwood by Rev. W. L. Brewer pastor of the C. M. E. church. The celebration was marked by an imposing dress parade of all the departments of the order which attracted much attention. Rev. Grewer's sermon in part was as follows: Master of Ceremonies, Sir Knights of Pythians and Court of Calanthe, and many friends with greetings of joy I hail you, from the Old World and from the New. From N. A. S. A. Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia. I am glad to participate in this grand celebration and wonderful proclamation of a true and tried friend ship of Bro. Damon and Pythias, for he is my friend. "A friend in need is a friend indeed." The meaning of a true and tried friend, one who is truthful and honest with all mankind, with his fellowmen; he who will divide a morsel of bread freely. No night is too drak—no season too cold—no rain too heavy—no sun too hot to debar a friend from the rescue of a friend. Damon and Pythias, have proven a friendship that no others have proven a friendship that will stand when columi Veerd once has crumbled and the glitter of tiled aristocracy has faded in that he offered up his life upon the gallows or his neck for the gullatone for his brother, on the day of execution to within three minutes of that fatal moment. To prove the test of a true K. of P. see the book of Daniel 3hr chapter, 16-25th verses. There is quite a contrast between a member of an order and a true friend of an order, Jesus tells of those wind of friends on the night that he was arrested, Matt. 26 chapter 50-58 verses. Jesus on the cross; like Pythias on the quilatin, spell bound death, and took the soul of a thief to help him bear the cross into Paradise, Luke 23 chapter 42-43 verses. He is the Supreme Grand Chancelor. He is my friend, our God is able to deliver us, since he delivered Paul and Silas who were bound in jail.

Butler defeated Patton of Englewood, making the 60 yards in six and two-fifths seconds. The Lantern Quits Business FRATERNAL PAPER PUBLISHED IN MUSKOGEE GOES OUT OF EXISTENCE. The "Lantern" a fraternal paper published at Muskogee has "folded up its tents like the Arabs and as silent passed away" according to reports received at this office from Muskogee. The paper was supported mainly by the U. B. F. organization of this state of which order P. M. Selancy is the presiding head, and it was thought had a good following. Just why the "Lantern" went under is not known, but doubled was because of bad management. W. H. Carter who at one time worked for the Star, had been in charge of the paper for nearly a year or longer. Rob Lincoln to Testify at Poters Hearing CHICAGO, March 30.—Robert Lincoln, son of Abraham Lincoln, emancipator of the American negro and himself chairman of the board of directors of the Pullman company, one of the largest employers of negroes in the United States, is to appear at the hearing here next Monday of the federal commission on industrial relations. Mr. Lincoln is to tell of the conditions under which car porters employed by the company are compelled to work. The commission desires to discuss with Mr. Lincoln the question of salaries paid the porters, commonly attributed to be the reason for the custom of tipping, and the likelihood of the tips having a debasing effect on the negroes. TULSA, OKLAHOMA SATURDAY, APRIL 3, 1915. POPULAR WOMEN TO WORK FOR LIBRARY; WILL GIVE ENTERTAINMENT AND OTHERWISE HELP TULSA'S COLORED READING ROOM. The Colored Library of this city, which is located in the lobby of the Tulsi Star, has become to be a favorite "loafingholt" for the reading public of the East End, but the limited number of books now on the shelves makes it necessary that new books be purchased to meet the demands of the patrons of this worthy institution which was started more than two years ago by J. B. Stradford of this city. For a long time the burden of carrying this institution was shouldered by Mr. Stradford, who gave his time and money to give the colored people of Tulsa a creditable library and reading room. On one occasion he rented the Grand Theatre and engaged a talented young woman of Muskogee and others with some home talen to furnish an entertainment for the benefit of this library. On the account of inclement weather, however, not more than half a dozen tickets were sold and Mr. Stradford lost about $75.00. This is only a small part of the expense he has borne to give the colored people of Tulsa the benefit of a library. He finally interested Mayor Wooden and thru him the city commissioners were persuaded to give $10.00 a month which paid only for one half of the salary of the librarian Mr. Stradford had employed. Whatever the library is now or will be in the future, Mr. Stradford is entitled to the credit. He has certainly done more than his part to make possible this institution and every good citizen should love him for what he has done for his people. With the knowledge of these things before them two good women of this city, in the persons of Mrs. Sula Dudley and Mrs. A. L. Phillips, have decided to start a campaign for the bene fit of the colored library and they will expect the hearty support of the general citizenship of Tulsa. These ladies are sincere in their efforts to promote the library and the man or woman who would for any reason withhold their support from them is not worthy of their room in Tulsa. A series of public entertainments will be given in the lobby of the Star office and other places to raise funds with which L. buy new books and better equip the library. Let every good citizen cheerfully respond.

Phihee Whipple, who died with small pox at his home in Tulsa on the morning of March 27th. He was made a mason in Rentro Lodge, no 104 at Mt. Vernon Mo in May 1902. He was elected secretary of the lodge the same year which office he held, at the time of his beath, his parents moved to Carthage, the same state. Bro. Whipple was harried in Carthage to Miss Jennie Porter. He lived there several years and came to Tulsa, about a year ago, his masonic record was an honorable one A great light of our fraternity has fallen. With others was my very dear friend. Mr. Whipple was a man who loomed large among his fellows, standing high in the community in which he lived, none knew him but to love him and to praise him. With sad hearts we place sweet flowers upon his bier, and sweet incense burn in tooken of our grief. He rests peacefully he sleeps a dreamless sleep. But is this the end of him and the aspiring hopes of all good masons? No blessed he God he has only received further light, he has laid down the working tools of life to be given the working tools of Heaven, he has only finished his work here and gone to the eternap city to have his earthly work inspected by the Supreme Architect of the Universe, and it is our prayer and beleif that he will hear the welcome enter thou into the many mansions of glory and we too broth rs so soon shall follow Farewell brother and friend till we meet again. Fraternally, J. F. Owens, W. M. Citizens of Rentiesville Making Hard Fight For Railroad Accommodation DID HE DECEIVE THEM? SCHOOLMASTER'S ASSERTION WAS NEVER VERIFIED. True or Not, However, It Had the Effect of Making Culprits Own Up to Guilt and Take the Consequences. Describing the lighter side of school life, Ian Hay, the Scotch novelist, tells of a schoolmaster who called his boys together. "A very unpleasant and discreditable thing has happened," he said. "The municipal authorities have recently erected a pair of extremely ornate and expensive lampposts outside the residence of the mayor of the town. "Those lampposts appear to have attracted the unfavorable notice of the school. "Last Sunday evening, between seven and eight o'clock, they were attacked and wrecked, apparently by volleys of stone." There was a faint but appreciative murmur from those members of the school to whom the news of this outrage was now made public for the first time. But a baleful flash from the schoolmaster's spectacles restored instant silence. "Several parties of boys," he continued, "must have passed these lampposts on that evening, on their way back to their respective houses after chapel. I wish to see all boys who in any way participated in the outrage in my study directly after second school. I warn them that I shall make a severe example of them." His voice rose to a blare. "I will not have the prestige and fair fame of the school lowered in the eyes of the town by the vulgar barbarities of a parcel of ill-conditioned little street boys. You may go!" The audience rose to their feet and began to steal silently away. But they were puzzled. The Old Man was no fool, as a rule. Did he really imagine that chaps would be such mugs as to own up? But before the first boy reached the door the head spoke again. "I may mention," he added very gently, "that the attack upon the—er lampposts was witnessed by a gentleman resident in the neighborhood, a warm friend of the school. He was able to identify one of the culprits, whose name is in my possession. That is all." And quite enough, too. When the schoolmaster visited his study after second school he found 17 malefactors meekly awaiting chastisement. But he never divulged the name of the boy who had been recognized, or, for that matter, the identity of the warm friend of the school. I wonder! Canada's 72-Inch Reflector Canada's 72-inch Reflector. Work is progressing rapidly on this instrument, which will be probably, for a short time only, the largest telescope in the world, pending the completion of the 100-inch reflector for Mt. Wilson. The disk for the great mirror started from Antwerp about a week before the war broke out. After its arrival at New York the Pennsylvania railroad was about a week in finding a suitable car to transport it to Pittsburgh, and then there was further delay before an iron wagon could be obtained to transport it to Doctor Brashear's workshop, where it was finally placed on the grinding table. The hazardous work of boring and smoothing off the hole in the center of the mirror has been accomplished with entire success. It is expected that the mounting will be completed by October next.—Scientific American. Subscription $1.00 Per Year oth Bill! ville Making Hard d Accommodation RENTIESVILLE, Okla., March 29.— Mr. A. J. Smitherman, Editor, Tulsa Star, Tulsa., Okla. Just now we are making strenuous efforts—and having the fight of our lives—to better conditions in and around the railway station here at this place; in other words we are striving with might and main to secure railway station trucks, a freight office, cotton platform and a decent depot, none of which we have. You were here a few months ago, and, very likely, distinctly remember these things. We have been trying for several months—in many ways—to obtain the rudest and most meager accommodations along the lines above indicated, and have failed. Thru our local business league—as our records show—we have written and petitioned the different department heads of the "Katy," and each time without result. At the same time conditions have grown from bad to worse, until now they have become all but unbearable. The wares of our merchants are loaded and unloaded without either the service of a platform or a truck, and in some instances broken because of that face. Because of the lack of a freight office those at this place who find it necessary to ship things from time to time must either go to Checotah or Oktaha to "bill" them out, thus entailing loss of time and great inconvenience. The agent here is not allowed a salary but a mere commission and in many cases his whole month's pay will not exceed $15.00; and this notwithstanding the fact that his entire time is taken up in the services of the company. SUCH CONDITIONS DO NOT EXIST AT ANY OTHER PLACE ON THIS ROAD. As a last resort we have filed a complaint against the company with the Corporation Commission and a hearing is granted us on April 13. We are hoping for relief. We cannot see how it will result otherwise in view of the volume of business done here, both in points of ticket sales and other traffic. I note with much pride—and it has strengthened me in hope for our just and righteous cause—Mr. Dearman's efforts to better conditions for our people at Osage, which act appears in the column of your valued paper. Whatever you can do to assist us in our just contentions I assure you will be gratefully appreciated. Your respectfully, B. C. FRANKLIN. Johnson Throws Bull For Sport Havana, Cuba, March 31—Jack Johnson, champion pugilist of the world, celebrated his 38th birthday here today in high spirits and a perfectly contented state of mind. The champion is attracting a deal of attention and betting on the fight next Monday with Jess Willard the white hope is all in his favor. Wrestles a Bull Johnson was out for a five-mile ride on the road early in the morning. Later he pushed a steam roller and wrestled a bull, the bull losing. When cautioned against over-exerting himself, Johnson said he must celebrate his 38th birthday which occurred today. Johnson declared today that it was likely he would win inside of 20 rounds. He praised Willard, but said that ring experience must tell. He added that all champions are defeated if they stick to the game long enough, but declared that he was now as good as ever and consequently could not see defeat facing him in this, his final battle.

One advantage of matrimony is that when a bachelor gets old and sick he has no one to take in boarders for him.—Philadelphia Ledger. Valuable Alaskan Dogs. In Alaska where horseflesh is scarce dogs are used in farming operations. A pair of dogs hitched to a small wheel plow will do excellent service in the potato patch and a team of six dogs will draw 1,000 pounds of produce to market IMMENSE QUANTITY OF WHEAT TIED UP There Will Still, However, Be a Heavy Deficit of the World's Normal Crop. A grain expert who has been watching the grain markets and the world's grain fields for a number of years, says:— "There is at the present time about two billion bushels of wheat, the production of the countries at war, tied up. This is about one-half the world's total production of wheat, which is four billion bushels. One writer argues that, granting that the warring nations produce a one-half crop in the coming year, a deficit of one billion bushels will still be shown. The three countries upon which the filling of this deficit of one billion bushels will rest are the United States, Canada, and Argentina. The combined output of these three countries is only 1,249,000,000, their exportable surplus would of course be much less so it can easily be seen that the question is not one to be easily solved and it behooves all the above countries to increase their respective productions as much as they possibly can, for when the war is over and trade begins to re-establish itself and the nations undergo a process of rehabilitation, the demand for all breadstuffs will be enormous. "During the three years following the declaration of peace the farmers of all neutral wheat-producing countries will have ample opportunity to market their wheat at good prices, and it may safely be assumed that the demand will be heavy. Canada has an unusual opportunity in that she has the natural environment for wheat production; she is under the protection of the British flag, and she will not be molested upon the water to any great extent; she can increase her acreage and greatly enhance her production. In other words, she can become a far greater wheat-producing country than she is at the present time." If the summing-up as made by this expert be correct, is there not the very best reason for the continued effort that is being made by the Government of the Dominion of Canada to secure settlers on the productive vacant lands of the country? Not only are these lands capable of producing high class wheat in large quantities, but cattle, pigs, sheep and horses also do well. The climate is admirably suited. —Advertisement. A Great Scheme.

Ob aaah Weed IN gees THE TULSA STAR FASHIONS FROM PARIS DESIGNS SENT OVER BY FAMOUS COSTUMERS. Doucet, Long a Favorite, Has Made a Specialty of Three-Piece Suits— New Evening Frocks Have Come From Callot. Possibly a summary of just what the famous houses in Paris exploited might help women to understand the Approaching fashions rather than a dissertation, for which there 1s plenty of time later. Doucet, for example, made a spe elalty of three-piece suits, a few long eats and many short ones, whieh had a slightly empire waist line, Mid: night blue and old rose were the col- ors used Many of his best evening frocks were black, made of lace and Jet and of quantities of tulle. Callot showed. evening frocks {n mauve, rose, black and salmon pink. | Several of the best evening frocks were in violet and lavender. A sen- ‘sation was caused by a bridal gown, which Callot has not shown before, made of white satin with green em- broidery, the bodice quite decollete ‘As brides have not worn the low cor: sage for many years, this Innovation, along with the use of green embroid: ery, makes one pause "The skirts were narrow for all occa ‘fions, but then Callot has never tol- erated the full skirt. White satin frocks were made somber by long swinging draperies of black tulle hanging from the shoulders In the back. Splendid brocade played {ts part, as one must always expect at ‘thie house, and figured failles com: im Sew wines Wilt arenes or tiny pink flowers and black velvet streamers. bined with gold and silver were made Into afternoon and evening gowns. In special evening | frocks, a com: ‘bination of variously colored crystals ‘placed on self-colored net were used to give an opalescent effect. Every: where one saw draperies of tulle flow- ing from the shoulder to the hem in another color from the gown. Here and there were frocks with the em- pire watst line, very much like those Josephine wore, with the huge orna- ment in the front holding sweeping skirt lines of plain satin, Cheruit held her clientele firmly. Her collection is said to be as artistic and as likable as those she made tn the summer and last February. One who knows this talented woman would feel quite sure that she would #0 toward mauve and simplicity. Callot 1s ornate; Cherult is simple. It 4s argued by her admirers that the styles she has shown this season will outlast the moment because they are not founded on freakishness, but se rlousness of line dnd coloring. They are Parisian and suggest the reign of Louis XV, of which she {s a student and an admirer, and there 1s also a touch of Louis Philippe. Her tailored suits have short coats, a reversal from her silhouette of last August, which ripple at the sides from the waist. Her skirts are full, after the 1848 pattern with the fullness cleverly adjusted at the sides, leaving the fronts flat, The hem 4s well above the ankle, and the mannequins show high boots instead of pumps with all the street frocks, Those laced at the side are still worn as they have been over here since December. Cherutt shows many sequins as the other houses do, also paillettes and beading, ‘The decolletage in evening frocks 18 exceedingly low in the back and un- usually high in the front, Most of her bodices are fitted over the bust, and are buttoned or laced up the back. There's every evidence, unhappily, that the waist that fast ens in the back Is to return, and that ft is to be t!vht, She does lessen her hold on those deep, capelike collars that extended from the neck to the waist in the back with points that meet in the front, (Copyright, 1915, by the McClure Newspa * paper Syndicate.) ENVELOPE CHEMISE IS NEW Convenient Undergarment Which te Sure to Be Appreciated by its Wearers. Just about the most conventent gar- ment imaginable is the new envelope chemise, Of course, the “envelope” part isn't very new, but the corset cover attachment is. The envelope chemise ts made quite like the chemise has been fashioned for years and years, except that there is a little tab At the bottom which buttons the chemise up into a pair of panties and short underskirt combined. When the corset cover is attached the chemise may be used as a substitute for an un: -derskirt and the corset worn right over it, as the garters will easily fasten over the edge of the chemise, since it 1s buttoned into the semblance of draw: ers. The corset cover Is nothing more than a deep rule of embroidery at tached with a band of embroidery in sertion just below the low-cut neck of the chemise and running under the arms. This rutfle has no opening and has a drawstring of ribbon or tape about the bottom, run through a cas ing or through the eyelet work of the embroidery After the chemise ts donned the corset 1s slipped under this ruffle and fastened, and the ruffle is then drawn in about the waist and the corset is entirely hidden, Thus there are really four garments in one —underskirt, drawers, short petticoat and corset cover, At this rate of con- densed clothing the laundries will have to cut down their forces, A more economical garment than this could not be fashioned for the woman who boards and must pay for her ‘Taundry by the plece, and if she 1s a business woman she will appreciate the time saved by being able to slip on four garments ct once, ‘The rufle alone may be added to the bought en- velope chemise, and the four-piece gar ment fs complete. METHODS OF CLEANING VEIL Washable Chiffon May Be Put In Or der Easily if These Direc- tions Are Followed. When a washable chiffon veil is soiled fold it neatly and tack the folds securely with basting thread. Then wash the veil carerully in soapy water and rinse it in salt water to net the color Press the folded vell bet-veen ‘a couple of heavy bath towels to get water out and donot wring it at afl. When as much water has been pressed out as it Is possible to get out cut the bastings and pull them. Lay one edge of the veil straight on the froning board and tron it dry with a moderately hot fron. Then iron each of the other sides dry and then tron the middle of the veil until it, too, is dry. By troning the edges first the veil can be froned without stretching or pulling out of shape. Lay the veil flat on a bed for an hour or two after it fs froned. If it is froned in this way it will keep its shape and will not wrinkle easily, SERGE FOR SPRING a Mh ii ir Among the reaily beautiful frocks offered for spring are those of light: Weight serge In white and delicate shades of cream, It has a short, full skirt attached to a hip yoke that is trimmed with taffeta buttons and a walst that te fniahed with an eu broldered taffeta. The cuffs are also of taffeta.

Surely the way of the grafter is hard. THE FELLOW who in his own estimation is too "big" to follow is usually in the estimation of others too "small" to lead; hence he never gets anywhere and never accomplishes anything. The man worth while is that fellow who though a good leader, if he is not in the lead will always be found "galloping in the gang." THE PEOPLE OF RENTIESVILLE, a Colored town on the "Katy" railroad are making a diligent fight for railroad accommodations which all other towns on the road have and to which they are rightfully entitled. Their case will soon be decided before the corporation commission and, it is hoped the proper relief given them. MR. PYLE, the Star representative who spent several weeks in Fort Smith, Arkansas in the interest of this paper, returned last Saturday, praising the people of Fort Smith for their many kindnesses and courtesies to him while there. Mr. Pyle put the Star on record in Fort Smith and we have received many compliments for the paper from subscribers there. EASTERTIDE in olden times was observed by a mutual exchange of gifts, feasting, merry-making, etc., but the mad rush of human progress has caused us to outlive these old customs, so we now observe this ancient celebration by vicing with our neighbor in buying pretty dresses, etc. There are women who would actually quit their husbands if they did not get a new "Easter dress," which always sells for three-fourths less the next week after Easter. Of course we have no such women in Tulsa. The Cosy Corner Cafe 126 N. Greenwood Hello! am bo Cafe better Meals THE K When Hello! Miss Brown am bound for the Cafe is under new better cooking any AL E.

McCollogh, TULSA, OKLA Phone 3337 TULSA, OKLA TULSA, OKLA THE TULSA STAR AFRO-AMERICA AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Three judges of the United States circuit court of appeals listened with profound interest to the plea of a Negro attorney, a one-time slave, who appeared before them in the Federal building at St. Louis. Probably few in the courtroom realized until he started his argument that a gray-haired Negro sitting near the front was a noted lawyer who has appeared before every United States judge in the central district in many famous trials. The attorney, Turner W. Bell, represented three men who are confined in the federal penitentiary at Leavenworth. Kan., serving sentences on convictions of conspiracy in the famous structural iron workers' dynamiting cases two years ago. Bell fingered his brief as he sat listening to the argument of Assistant United States District Attorney L. S. Harvey of the eastern district of Kansas, representing the government. He had spoken but a few words, however, when the crowd knew that such incidents evidently were in the every-day life of the Negro lawyer. The men represented by Bell are white and were given sentences of six years at Indianapolis in December, 1912. They were convicted of being implicated in more than one hundred dynaming cases, including the destruction of the Times building in Los Angeles, in half of the states of the United States. They were at one time officers of the organization of which J. J. McNamara was a member and who is now serving a life sentence in California. Bell represented the men in the United States district court in Kansas last July and was defeated. He appealed. Bell's chief contention is that the men could legally have been convicted on but one charge under the revised statutes of the United States, and that the maximum penalty should have been but two years in the penitentiary or a fine of $10,000. They were charged with having transported dynamite throughout the country, and with the blowing up of a bridge at Indianapolis. Bell has been a practicing attorney in Leavenworth 28 years. His "hobby," he said, is appeal cases. In 1914 he filed 61 appeals in the United States courts, and was successful in 41 of them. In but two cases were his clients Negroes. Bell was born a slave in Tennessee. He was taken with his parents to Oskaloosa, Ia., when young, and earned enough money to carry him through a course in law. The day he was admitted to the bar, at Leavenworth, United States Judge Hook was in the courtroom, and Bell considers Judge Hook one of his best friends. Among famous appeals in which Bell has been successful was the case of Charles A. Stevens, a wealthy Negro boy, of Kansas City, who stole a mall sack containing $55,800. Stevens's sentence was reduced from ten to five years. As his fee Bell received $13,000. For the first time in about a dozen years mackerel have been caught in the New Haven waters. In recent years porpoises are believed to have driven them away, but in the last month thousands of mackerel have been caught. The Supreme court, speaking through the chief justice, denied the appeal taken by the state of Illinois in the case of John B. Gaskill against the Forest Home Cemetery company of Chicago, which has become historical. Gaskill is a Negro who purchased a lot in the cemetery, but was denied permission to bury a member of his family there by the trustees of the cemetery after they made the discovery that the purchaser was a Negro. A bill for the relief of Gaskill passed the Illinois legislature some years ago, but was vetoed by the governor on the advice of the attorney general. The gase was dismissed by Chief Justice White on the ground that no federal question was involved in the judgment rendered by the supreme court of Illinois, which found against Gaskill. In the opinion of an English scientist, the wear of macadam roads is not due to the suction of automobile tires, but almost entirely to the crushing effect of horseshoes and iron-tired wheels.

Every member of the family of Sir Roper Lethbridge of England has gone to the war or training for it—the men to fight, the women to nurse. AN CULLINGS Ell Williamson (colored) ninety years old, for many years a licensed pilot, died at the home of his daughter. Mrs. W. B. Faire, in Washington, following an illness lasting only five days. For half a century Williamson had followed the sea before he retired and made his home in Washington. He served in the navy and in the merchant marine. He became a skillful pilot and was the first colored man to obtain a first-class license at the United States custom house at Norfolk, Va. Captain Williamson, as he was known to his friends, was born in Murfreesboro, N. C., December 23, 1824, the son of Trial and Winnie Williamson, and the grandson of George Williamson, who had been a noted showmaker and had bought his freedom from his master by making fine shoes. Eli Williamson's freedom came to him from his grandfather. When he was a youth Williamson went to live with a family of Quakers, who taught him to read and write, to the fishing nets and to rig seines for large fisheries. This gave him a taste for the sea which never left him. He enlisted in the United States navy and served faithfully. After leaving the navy Williamson entered the merchant service, and when the Civil war broke out he was chief pilot on the steamer Curlew. It was pressed into the service of the Confederacy and later was sunk. Williamson was highly regarded by the officers under whom he sailed. He did much to aid in the uplift of his race, and was the founder of the Cool Spring church at Franklin, Va. He married Miss Emmaline Hunter of Virginia. Ten children were born to them, five growing to maturity. One son, the late W. E. Williamson of Norfolk, Va., died February 1, 1910. His four daughters, Mrs. Curlew Weaver, Mrs. Katherine Reid, Mrs. Sea Bird Faire and Mrs. Emma Gray, survive him. For the last five years Captain Williamson had made his home in Washington with his daughter, Mrs. Faire. Burial was in Harmony cemetery beside the body of his wife, who died March 14, 1914. It is true, of course, that Professor Just is not the only colored man to do scientific work of a high order, nor the only colored teacher ready to labor for a pittance in order to aid the education of his people. But the honor bestowed upon him is worth while merely if it recalls to public attention once more the fact that no one can measure the contributions colored Americans are certain to make to our common civilization, and not merely in the fields in which lie their peculiar talents. It was a colored physician who first ventured an operation on the living human heart; a colored painter is in the front rank of his art as the delineator of Biblical scenes; no composer of recent years won greater honors than Coleridge Taylor, the negro. Any policy, therefore, which should limit the education and the opportunities of the race must be a grave loss to humanity as a whole. No one would think, in any country outside Russia, of refusing to Jewish genius the fullest play in every field. Yet we continue to hear, not only in the South, but in the North as well, repeated assertions that anything except common schooling is out of place for the colored people—New York Evening Post. The highest determined point in Florida is Mount Pleasant, 301 feet above sea level, according to the United States geological survey. The approximate average elevation of the state is 100 feet above the sea. All-steel cars are being experimented with on several railways in India.

If you wish to interest idle men circulate the story that the hull of a sunken ship is full of treasure. If you wish to excite them circulate the story that it is full of fine whisky. The yellow poplar, or tulip tree, the largest broadleaf tree in America, has been known to reach nearly 200 feet in height and ten feet in diameter. During courtship a girl thinks marriage is a haven of rest in which she will be free from worry and care. After marriage she has another think coming. The new poison extracted from seeds of the castor oil plant by a German chemist is said to be so powerful that a single gram would kill a million and a half guinea plugs. Probably the speediest journey is that negotiated by a prize fighter who is on his way back to obscurity. Rheumatism Muscle Colds "It is easy to use and quick to respond. No work. Just apply.

INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (BY E. O. SELLERS, Acting Director of Course, Moody Bible Institute, Chicago). LESSON FOR APRIL 4 SAUL REJECTED BY THE LORD, LESSON TEXT-I Samuel 15:10-23. GOLDEN TEXT—Behold, to obey is better than sairice. I Samuel 15:22. Jonathan's victory (ch. 14) brought with it a sinning on the part of the hungry, harassed Israelites in that they ate of the spoils "with the blood" (14:31, 32; Lev. 3:17, 7:26). In the emergency Saul erected the first altar that he built unto the Lord" (ch 14:35), a rather dilatory act on the part of a God-anointed king. Saul had resorted to the subterture of commanding the people "to roll a great stone," i.e., cut the throats of the animals of which they had eaten that they might bleed, and thus be an evidence that the animals had died before being eaten. This the people did, fearing Saul, but having no scruples in transgressing God's commands. These same people rescued Jonathan from the foolish vow of Saul, for it was his faith and valor that had chiefly brought about the victory. I. God's Sorrow, vv. 10-12. Samuel had first revealed God's purpose in making Saul king, and likewise first declared God's purpose to dispose of Saul (v. 10). Saul's actions (vv. 1-9) had stamped him as being no longer worthy of God's confidence. The word "repenteth," meaning "to sigh" (v. 11), denotes a change of feeling due to Saul's actions and not to any change in the character, purpose or desires of Good. God was sorry that Saul had proved himself unworthy. A half-way obedience of God's command only heightened his guilt. "Whatever moral difficulties seem to lie, for a later age, in Saul's commission against Amalek, there were none such for him" (Vaughn). Man's repentance involves a change of mind and purpose. In Saul's case God repented, changed the instrument of his execution, because of the change of circumstances and relation. God is ever the same; it is man alone who changes. Saul had given Samuel cause for anger (v. 11 R. V.), but he did the wise thing in taking it to God in prayer. Arising early the next morning Samuel hastened to acquaint Saul with Jehovah's message. It is remarkable of how many of the great men of the Bible it is said that they rose early, Abraham, Gideon, Joshua Job, Jacob, Moses, etc., not to forget our Lord Jesus. II. Samuel's Rebuke, vv. 13-19. It must have been a striking scene when the aged Nazarite prophet faced the proud but recreat king. A guilty conscience is often covered by a great show of pliey (v. 13), but such acts cannot stifle the conviction of the heart nor deceive the righteous judge. Sir proclaims itself even as Samuel's sharp question brought conviction from the lips of Saul (v. 14; Prov. 28:13). Saul thought to deceive Samuel by using a falsehood (v. 15). The only safe course is to confess our sins (Ps. 32:15; I. John 1:9). There is an interesting suggestion in the way Saul uses the impersonal "they" and "we" in verse 15, as if to lay the guilt of his acts upon others. It is easy for the sinner to blame others and seek to minimize his own guilt (Rom. 14:12). Verse 9 clearly indicates why Saul and the people had spared the best of the cattle. To use a part only for God and the rest for self in direct disobedience to God's rights or the rights of others is to incur his righteous wrath (vv. 22, 23). III. Saul's Self-Rejection, vv. 20-23. God set Saul aside because he had rejected the right and chose the wrong. Face to face with his sin Saul could not dodge the issue. Samuel's "wherefore" (v. 19) must have aroused Saul's guilty conscience. It is a question which should reach every tempted soul. Samuel characterized Saul's sin as being due to stubbornness, rebellion, disobedience and a rejection of God (v. 19). Again Saul seeks to evade his responsibility (vv. 20, 21). Then Samuel speaks plainly (v. 22) comparing his sin of disobedience with witchcraft, stubbornness, iniquity and idolatry. Plainly he tells Saul, "Because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, he hath also rejected the tree from being king" (v. 23). Driven thus to a corner Saul made a confession of his guilt (v. 24) but spoiled it all by acknowledging that he had greater fear of the people than of God. This is Easter Sunday, our reproach has been removed, not at Gilgal but on Calvary. The unchanging God hates sin, which is unchangeable, has condemned it on the Cross that the guilty sinner may live. The persistence of sin, the unchangeableness of God and his unyielding hatred of sin are met by the culmination of Easter for, "By the obedience of one shall many be made righteous" (Rom. 5:19). The whole root of Saul's trouble was his attitude towards the word of God. Every man's destiny hinges upon what he does with the Living incarnate Word. The resurrection of Jesus is the seal of his authority; the evidence of his power and our eternal salvation depends upon what we do with him, John 8:16; 18:36.

Is Now Well. Cartersville, Ga.—The following is from Mrs. Will T. Lawhon, of Cartersville: "I am writing this because I want other women to know what Cardul has done for me. Before I commenced taking Cardul, I had headache so bad, I would have to stay in bed for days at a time. I suffered untold misery with my head and back. I saw Cardul advertised and decided to try it. I took three bottles. After taking the first bottle, I could see a vast difference in my feelings, and decided to take the second, and took three in all. After taking the third bottle, I felt like a new woman altogether, and I will always praise Cardul as a boon to woman's ills. I believe it saved my life and I am now a well, healthy woman, and my husband joins me in my praise for Cardul. Before I began taking Cardul, I was irregular, but since I began taking it, I have been regular and without any pain. Everyone tells me I am the picture of health since taking Cardul. I will recommend it to every suffering woman." If you suffer from any of the ailments so common to women, or if you feel the need of a good strengthening tonic, why not give Cardul, the woman's tonic, a trial? Begin today.

Mrs. Atherton had tried to impress upon her young son, Eugene, that he should play only with good boys. "Mether," said Eugene, as he came in one day, "you don't want me to play with wicked boys, do you?" "No, indeed," said the mother, pleased that her son had remembered her teachings. "Well, if one little boy kicks another little boy, isn't it wicked for him to kick him back?" "Yes, indeed, it is certainly very wicked," was the mother's reply. "Then I don't play with Richard Whitney any more," said Eugene; "he's too wicked. I kicked him this morning, and he kicked me back." CHANDLER. OKLA.
