A FEARLESS EXPONENT OF RIGHT AND JUSTICE THE TULSA STAR OUR SUBSCRIPTION LIST MAKES A VALUABLE MEDIUM FOR ADVERTISING Three White Men Convicted For Killing Negro! Vol. 3, No. 28 Three W No Mob Violence Prisoners D First Sentences Imposed In Pulaski County Under New Law. Three White Men Are the Victims. NEW LAW SAVED THEIR LIVES Little Rock, May 9—W. R. (Buck) Fisher, Ashley Ward and Andrew Holmes, three young white men, were declared guilty of first degree murder for the killing of Angus Neely, Negro, and their sentences lived at life in prisonment by a Jury in the First Divi- sion. Circuit Court last week. The sentence of life imprisonment is the first imposed in Pulaski county and the conviction of white men for the first degree murder of a Negro sets a precedent in Arkansas, it is said. An act passed by the last legislature gave juries power to fix life imprisonment as the penalty in cases in which formerly the death penalty was mandatory. The victim of the murder was a native of Africa, very eccentric and miserly. He was supposed to have had about $1,500 concealed in his house. Robbery was the motive for the murder. The Ngro was killed on the night of December 15, at his home near Wrightsville. None of the defendants showed any emotion when the verdict was returned. Stradford Leaves Tonight WIL LVISIT WASHINGTON, BOSTON AND PHILADELPHIA, BEFORE RETURNING TO OKLAHOMA. C. F. Stradford, Equipped with Good Law School Education Will Take Up Practice in Tulsa. From Tulsa to New York City to see his son Cornellus graduate from the law department of the Columbia University will be the delightful experience of J. B. Stradford of this city, who will leave tonight over the Frisco for the journey east. Mr. Stradford has spent large sums of money in an effort to educate his son and now he is about to realize a life long dream. Four years ago his youngest son, Cornellus F. Stradford, entered the Columbia University law school after graduating from Oberline College. All of these years he has borne the boys expenses, hoping all the time to give to the race a strong, fearless and able defender of their rights and liberties. So it is with great hopes and fond anticipation that the father starts out tonight on this long journey to see his son graduate a finished lawyer. Young Stradford will return with his father to Tulsa, after the two have visited Washington, Baston, and Philadelphia, and will open an office here. A reception will be given for him on his return.

Superior Speed and a Zigzag Course Saved the Vessel. Though Ship's Boy Has His Own Ideas of the Matter. The German submarine U-28, according to seamen who travel between Rotterdam and England, has a regular beat which she patrols between the Maas lightship and the north hinder. Practically every day she is on duty along that route watching for the railway and cargo steamers on their way to Hull or Harwich or Rotterdam. She has a number of captures to her credit at this point, although she has not yet succeeded in getting any of the fast mail or railway packet boats. Their speed is superior and they vary their course on each trip so as to make it impossible for the submarine to lie in wait along the way. The following description of the pursuit of one of the railway steamers is published here: "The ship was pounding along at 12 knots, when suddenly there was a flash of sunlight on the surface of the sea, maybe two miles away, and the lookout called sharply, 'Submarine on the port bow!' "There was a sharp command to the man at the wheel and the chip changed her course. Then a quick call down the tube and the engineer sang out to his stokers. 'Beat her up, boys. U-28 is having another go.'" "Down the stokheld tumbled the deckhands, eager to help with shovel and oilcan. The water jumped in the gauge, the safety valves showed signs of torment, there was a smell of heated bearings, the ship began to quiver, while the perspiring crew made bets with each other on the race. "The captain himself took the wheel. Bestde him stood the ship's boy, watching with fascinated eyes the white wake which marked the course of the submarine sailing at 14 knots to cut them off. Smoke and fire streamed from the funnels and there was an odor of burning paint. The iron deck chattered and groaned under the demands of the engines and the ship gained headway. "Suddenly the captain's shoulder gave a lurch, his arms shot down, the boy, thrown off his balance, fell against the bulwarks, and the ship swerved in a half circle on a new course. Gradually the speed rose to 13, 14, 14½ knots. The captain's face relaxed into a smile. "What if the engine should break down? thought the boy, as his eyes again sought that distant white wake. In the long stern chase the same thought often came to the captain, but his face showed nothing but a quiet interest and his hands held strong on the wheel. Smaller and smaller grew the pursuer, until finally it sullenly gave up the chase. Then came a call down the tube, a heavy sigh of relief from the engineer, and the men came tumbling back to deck. "Good-by old U-28, we've beaten her again," shouted one of the crew, gazing astern. "Yes, I and the old man did,' exclaimed the boy." It is likely that the English will learn some new tastes and new habits when their men come home. They may bring back with them a taste for French bread, strong coffee, choco TULSA, OKLAHOMA, SATURDAY, MAY 29 1915 WAGON LOADS OF TYPHUS VICTIMS IN SERBIA Typhus is making horrible ravages in the ranks of the Serbian and Austrian armies, and among the civilians as well. The death rate is frightful, and ox carts laden with the coffins of the victims pass in continual procession to the burial places. BIG SCHOOL FIGHT GOES ON IN MUSKOGEE SPENCER MAY SUCCEED BRYANT late (which is not cocoa), cheap wine and black cigarettes. Even Englishmen, after long residence in France, come by custom to prefer coffee to tea, and the full-flavored cigarettes of the French Regie (Caporals and Maryland) to the lighter kinds popular in this country. French soldiers brought back with them from Algeria the taste for absinthe, and English officers brought back with them from Egypt in 1885 the cigarette habit. We may take it, too, that our soldiers will bring home with them many fragments of the French language. The Boers gave us the word "commandeer." This war has given us no new terms so far, but it will probably add a good deal of French to our slang. —Manchester Guardian. Changing the European Map. While sages are pondering over the future geographical outlines of European countries, a little Indianapolis schoolboy is having wondrous visions all his very own. He states in answering an examination query, that "Two rivers of France are the Danube and the Rhine, and the capital of France is Budapest." Then, too, a little girl adds to the interesting study of that country the startling disclosure that "France exports silks, cotton and other beautiful scenery." In the same set of test papers it is found that "Great Britain is made up of Scotchland, whales and Irish." Finally, the teacher has definitions of textiles propounded to her as "roofing," "slate," "a kind of tile," and "machinery." Yet some folk say that the life of a schoolteacher is dull.

(Special to the Tulsa Star.) Muskogee, Okla., May 26.—The public school muddle which has been before the people of this city for several weeks past is still the topic of public and private conversation among some of the leading Colored citizens here. According to rumor Prof. C. B. Bryant, supervisor of the Colored schools, against whom the big guns of the conflict are almed, has agreed to give up his position as supervisor in favor of J. Oscar Spencer of Nowata, and return to his former position as principal of the Douglas school, of which J. Tyler Smith is now principal, provided the fight against him is dropped. G. W. P. Brown, a prominent Colored lawyer here is said to be leading the fight against Bryant and it is said the peace treaty was signed in his office. Charges and counter charges of incompetency and misconduct are being hurled back and forth among the teachers in what might be styled a "free-for-all" fight. It is though that a general renovation will be inaugurated and almost a complete new corps of teachers appointed before the next term begins. W. H. Twine, another prominent lawyer of this city is playing an important part in the big fight. He is said to be very influential with the board of education and the superintendent of the city schools, and no doubt his recommendations will be favorably considered.

Ford Wealthy Cattle Man, Sends Car Load To Kansas Recently there was shipped from Taft, by Mr. C. H. Ford, cotton buyer and gin operator here, one car containing 57 head of cattle, and sold in the Wichita, Kansas, market for a nice figure. This was the first carload of cattle to be shipped this season from Taft, and Mr. Ford was able to get the handsome price of 7 1-2c which was better by one cent than most of the other markets were offering. Mr. Ford is to be commended for his industry, push and business sagacity, and if the race could boast of more of his kind—colored men who produce what the world wants and must have—instead of the kind who wants what the world produces, and must have it—a long step forward will then be taken toward the solution of al of our problems. Mr. Ford operates the gin in the winter months and buys cattle, grain and other produce during the summer months. SEEK TO SPREAD KNOWLEDGE Anti-Tuberculosis Association Has Plan for Further Training of Doctors and Nurses. For the purpose of securing more co-operation from physicians and nurses in the anti-tuberculosis campaign, the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis has inaugurated a movement to bring the importance of this subject to the attention of these two groups. Among the first things which the association is trying to do is to induce the medical colleges and schools of nursing to give more instruction, particularly of a clinical nature, on tuberculosis. An effort will be made also to reach the individual practitioners and nurses by special booklets prepared for this purpose. The clinical and other organizations affiliated with the national association will, so far as possible, be made available for the widest possible use in training doctors and nurses in tuberculosis work. "The object of this campaign," says Dr. Charles J. Hatfield, executive secretary of the national association, in making the announcement, "is primarily to secure more accurate and earlier diagnosis of tuberculosis on the part of physicians and to show nurses the great opportunities of service in the home care of consumptives. We shall also be able to put the average family physician in touch with the best methods of treating tuberculosis and with the most recent literature on that subject, thereby affording to the general public increased protection from this disease. Practically all of the medical colleges and schools of nursing of the country have expressed their approval of our plan and have offered to co-operate with us. While the medical profession generally has unselfishly assisted the nation-wide campaign against this disease, we feel, because of its prevalence, tuberculosis should be given special attention by medical students and practicing physicians everywhere. No other single disease demands so much time and attention from the general practitioner in medicine. We shall try to make it easy for any doctor or nurse to acquire a specialized knowledge of tuberculosis." --- PAGE TWO GERMANS FOLLOW OLD TACTICS IN ATTEMPTING RUSH VicTORY. TWO MORE WAR VESSELS SUNK Russians Lose Largest Vessel, With 1400 Men On Board and Turk th Destroyer Is Sunk In Dardaneiien. London—Little or no time has been allowed to elapse between the declaration of war and actual fighting detween Italy and Austrin. Austrian aeroplanes, destroyers and torpedo boats descended on the Itallan coast of the Adriatic and bombarded sev: eral towns, including Venice, while fn the Tyrol and on the eastern Fron- tier Italian and Austrian advance guards are already in touch and have fired the first shots. The plan of campaign has not yet been disclosed, but it is generally be Heved that attempts to inflict a quick and decisive defeat or at least one that will discourage the Italians, will be undertaken largely by the Ger mans under Field Marshal Von Hind euburg. German troops, with heavy guns aeroplanes and Zeppelins, are already passing through the valley of the river Adige, in the direction of Verona, and rapid and fierce blows will be deliver: ed almost immediately at the Italian center, This, the Germans doubtless belteve, would serve to hold off an Italian advatice from the province of Venice, where the flat nature of the country would give the Italians o éreat chance of success, Throughout Austria and Germany there 1s bitter denunciation of Italy which for the moment has replaced England us the most hated enemy.

Those sults for which small checks were chosen, cut on simple, but carefully thought out lines, proved to be the most successful. A great many of them were made with short: waisted box coats. A less number had short Jackets, and some of the smart: est were designs in which semifitting coats figured Skirts were nearly al- ways plain, moderately wide and somewhat flaring. The advance of the season proved that the suits of shep- herd’s check received a merited ap: preclation. ‘The pretty spring suit be: comes the crisp midsummer sult by a variation of the shoes and hats worn with {t, and ts @ paying investment for street wear.

Ee . ) . a $ i) M Nee ae | ey in ET: Mm (Nt a ek if & “a — a Early in the season hats having transparent brims made their appear- ance. These brims were flat and mounted on braid crowns. They were made of malines, net, clfiffon or thin crepe. Nearly always, embedded be- tween layers of such alry materials, flowers, with petals spread flat, added touches of lovely color. The effect in very pretty—and gave the hats their distinguishing name—that of “halo” hats—the embedded wreaths “encircling the head like a halo. So good an item of art in millinery was destined to outlast the early sea son and to introduce many transpar- ent hats for midsummer. The latter are made, crown and all, of the thin fabrics, and brims have grown wider. Flower and feather trimmings-—but mostly flowers—are mounted on the outside or underbrim instead of being embedded in the material, A beautiful hat of this character ts shown in the picture, It is of black malines made over a frame of fine silk wire, The edge wire and one other are outlined on the underbrim by filtter Jet. There Is an immense pompon of malines at the front with two long Jet ornaments thrust in tt Nothing could be prettier for midsum. “mer wear than this exquisite plece ot millinery, Hemp and leghorn hats, with fac ings of crape on the upper or under brims are among the loveliest offer {ngs in dress hats.

The flaring turnover collar is cut in three pleces and unusually well adjusted. Ball buttons tn threo sizes are used for fastening and trimming. The suit is worn with low shoes and black cloth alters, to be changed to white for midsummer wear, The sallor hat, of black taffeta, with collar and ‘border tn black and white stripe, ts trimmed with small pompons of black feathers with long curving ribs ex- tending from them. White neck rufts of malines or combinations of white and black look well with these check waite with @ wreath of rose follage agains, « bilckground of ribbon with a narraw border in black. Little June rqses are set in the wreath. The ribbon band is extonded into sash ends at the back. Near the brim a Uttly cluster of roses is led into the sash with a bow. The caloring 1s pale pink with the narrow black border of the ribbon and dark, natural greed of the foliage adding depth and character, The roses are shaded and deeper in tone than the body of the hat.

ACCORDING TO A STORY published in the World last Sunday there is a Colored elevator boy in Tulsa who has marked talent as a cartoonist, and is unusually intelligent, but the redeeming traits of the bay is that "he does not think he is as good as white folks, nor any better than any other nigger."

It is certainly no credit to Italy to enter this great war in the manner she did, which was as a stealthy march of conquest as is shown by her agreement with the other powers against Germany and Austria, not to accept any terms of separate peace which is virtually an agreement to fight the Germanic forces until England and France also gain their points of contention. Thi, in our opinion, makes a weak case for the Italian government. However the Germans are gamely holding their own and somehow, we are in sympathy with her, because she seems to be the under dog of this conflict.

SELLERS, Acting Director of Moody Bible Institute, Chicago) LESSON FOR MAY 30 BRINGS ARK TO JERUSALEM. LESSON TEXT-II Samuel! 6:12-19 and Psalm 24. (Study all of chapter 8). GOLDEN TEXT-I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go unto the house of the Lord.-Psalm 122:1. This event probably occurred B. C. 1042, in the twenty-second year of David's reign. It would be a good plan to assign to various pupils such subjects as: (a) What the ark was and how it came to be lost; (b) Where it had been since the days of Joshua; (c) What occurred to it while in possession of the Philistines; (d) Who was Obed-edom? (e) Uzzell? (f) Michal? (g) How Jerusalem came to be the seat of government. 1. The Ark Recovered, vv. 1.5. David realized that while God was the God of all the tribes, still there was no visible religious center; there was the consequent danger of confounding the local place of worship with that of some local Baal (god) and the possible breaking up of the national reliance upon Jehovah. Where Kirkjath-jearlm was is not definitely known, but perhaps it was eight or ten miles west of Jerusalem. The ark had lodged here for perhaps seventy years. David and they that were with him followed the example of the Philistines (I Sam. 6:1-18) in their mode of transferring the ark rather than to have it carried upon the shoulders of the priests (Josh. 3:3). Preceded by "David and the house of Israel," 1. e. leaders of the people and all others present, they began the return journey from the house of Abinadab. II. The Ark Retarded, vv. 6-11. They had reached one of the open places used as a threshing floor when the oxen slipped and the cart was shaken. Uzziah, one of the two into whose charge it had been placed, laid hold of the ark to keep it from falling. Why was he slain therefore? We have already suggested the reason. How to carry the ark was plainly written (Num. 4:5-12; 7:9). Neglect of God's word gets many well-meaning people into trouble, along with their friends, also. The ark was the symbol of God's presence, and men had to be taught to revere his holy name and his glorious presence (see last clause v. 2). Uzziah's sin was the sin of freerence. He seems not to have sensed the invisible God in his visible abode. The result struck terror into the heart of David and the people, and the ark was left in the house of Obed of Edom for a period of three months. David's "improved plan" was a proved failure. III. The Ark Restored, vv. 9-19. David, by thus abandoning the ark seems to have resented the judgment of God, yet he must have realized that God had sufficient cause for his acts. The ark is a type of Christ, who is Immanuel, God with us. The ark contained the law of God, as Christ enshrined the will of his Father. Over the law was the blood-sprinkled mercy seat where God met his people (Ex. 25:18-22). In Christ we find our mercy seat where we meet God. Though this ark brought judgment to Uzziah it brought blessing to Obed-edom (v. 12). Even so Christ brings judgment or joy according to our treatment of him. Obed-edom so plougly cared for the ark that both he and his household were richly blessed. If Christ is really in our hearts we will be blessed, and Christ abideth forever. IV. The Psalm of Praise, Ps. 24. In the Jewish synagogue this psalm is recited at the carrying back of the book of the law to its shrine, and in the Greek church at the consecration of the church. The twenty-second psalm presents the suffering Savior; the twenty-third presents the risen Savior as the shepherd caring for and leading his sheep, and the twenty-fourth tells of the reigning, glorified Lord. The whole earth is Jehovah's (v. 1) and no incident better teaches the converse, viz., that he is God of the earth and not a mere tribal deity. He "founded" and "established" it, and all "the fullness," and "they that dwell therein" are his by creative and redemptive right. Since we belong to him we owe him worship and service—and a servant is one who "stands" v. 3). The conditions of fellowship with Jehovah are "clean hands and a pure heart" (v. 4), those who deal with honesty and reverence. "Vanity" and "idolatry" are frequently synonymous terms. The first and the fourth condition relate to others, the second and the third to one's inner life (see I John 1:6, 7). The reward of acceptable worship and service is "blessing from the Lord" (v. 5). In verse eight we find Israel's great name for God first used in the Psalms. He is gloriously strong, this Lord of the hosts of heaven. In I Cor. 2:8, Jesus who was crucified is called the "Lord of Glory." Even so our coming King is "strong and Mighty" and will prove himself "mighty in battle" (see Rev. 19:19:21). When he, the King of Glory, leads captivity captive all of his followers will have a part in that triumphal entry WAR'S WORST SIDE Austrian's Sufferings When a Captive in Russia. One of the Few Members of His Regiment Who Escaped Alive When Command Was Practically Wiped Out by the Enemy. The New York representative of an Austrian manufacturing firm was talking to a party of friends, the war, as usual, being the subject of conversation. "The Vienna firm I represent," he said, "is composed of a father and two sons, and is of sufficient Importance to employ a thousand workmen and sell its goods all over the world, though it is not doing any business outside of America at present. One of the sons went to war as a captain "Not long ago I had a letter from the captain by way of Vladivostok through American friends there. The young fellow told me that in a battle with the Russians his entire regiment had been caught in an ambush or an enflashing fire, and every one of them, except 36, had been killed. The 36 were captured, and he was one of them, but he had not escaped the deadly hall of bullets. One had struck him in the mouth and passed through his head, coming out back of the ear; a piece of shrapnel had struck him on the right side of the face, destroying the right eye, taking away most of his cheek and jaw, cutting off the right ear and destroying the hearing; another piece had gone through the upper part of his chest and the adjoining shoulder, and a bullet had pierced his thigh. "That would seem to be almost enough reason for a man to die on the field of battle, but the captain did not. Instead he was able in some fashion to walk, and the Russians made him walk six miles to a railroad station, with other prisoners. The medical treatment he received was hardly worth mentioning, though, evidently it was enough to keep him together. "At the railroad he was loaded into a rough car, and for 22 days he was on his way to some point or other where, after a day or two, he was loaded up again in the same kind of transportation and given a trip of 33 days. At the end of this journey he was landed in a hospital at Vladivostok, thousands of miles from where he started, and suffering tortures all the way. Still, he did not quit living, and when he wrote me he was able to get out and move around. "He said the prisoners were practically at liberty about the town, but that really did not mean much, because it was so cold that they were around very little during the day, and if a man tried to get away and remained out all night he was certain to freeze. He had not been able to tell any of his story to his people at home and had managed to get a letter to me through the American consul. "I have written to his people, but I hadn't the heart to tell them all his Amazon Ex Swea Algot Lange—famous tropic the lower Amazon.

Famous Royal Artillery Band. Famous Royal Artillery Band One of the most famous bands is that of the Royal artillery. Many persons who have attained distinction in the musical world have been connected with the Royal artillery or its band. Among them was Sims Reeves, who was the son of a bandsman, and who, in his boyhood, sang in the military choir at Woolwich. It is, perhaps, not well known that the Royal artillery band is fifty years older than the Philharmonic society, having been formed in 1762. It has done much for the advancement of music in England, and has always enjoyed the advantage of having a succession of eminent musicians as bandmasters. It has always been double-handed; that is to say, the players are as proficient on stringed instruments as on wind, and can at any time assume the character of an orchestra. Queen's All in Flames.

A committee of bird-music critics sat in judgment recently at Labor temple, in East Eighty-fourth street, on the vocal accomplishments of several hundred canaries which had been brought here from various cities under the auspices of the Central Society of Canary Breeders of America. The birds were brought into the auditorium from a darkened room, and as soon as they saw the light they burst into song. The critics listened intently, observing each trill and quaver, and presumably in their reports will tell those in good voice, whether they sang artistically or not and what the chances are of this or that yellow bird making good if he studies hard and remembers what the critics say about him.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS The name Manassas conjures up in the minds of most people in this country the great struggle between the North and the South on the battlefield of Bull Run fifty years ago, in that brother-against-brother strife for the freedom for the Negro. It seems, therefore, peculiarly fitting that on this battlefield which witnessed such havoc and bloodshed for the emancipation of these people, there should spring up a school where they might learn the value and usefulness' of the liberty won for them at so great a cost. Such a school—a school of everyday common-sense training with industrial work supplemented by practical academic studies—came into existence there twenty years ago, under the guiding hand of a colored woman, Jennie Dean. The founding of the Manassas Industrial School for Colored Youth is really the life-story of Jennie Dean. Her parents were slaves, but of the most intelligent class of Negroes, her father having been taught to read and write early in life. He was ambitious after the war, to own his farm, but dled before he had finished paying for it. Jennie Dean, then a young girl, left home and went into service in Washington, her wages going to pay the balance on the farm, as well as to pay her younger sister's tuition at college. Jennie Dean's life in Washington brought to her full realization of the danger her people run in migrating to the cities, and she made up her mind to try to do something to keep them at home. Her first work toward this was the starting of a Sunday school one summer while on a visit home, which later developed, through her efforts, into the founding of a church in Manassas. During the time that she was conducting these Sunday school classes and working for the church, Jennie Dean was also holding Saturday afternoon classes in cooking and sewing, and through this work she realized the possibilities which might develop out of training of this sort for young colored people. She spent twelve years in this mission work before she determined to devote herself to the industrial education of the Negroes of northern Virginia and to found a school for that purpose. She knew the danger that lurked in the cities for these young people, but she also realized the discouraging situation which confronted them if they remained at home. She was mindful of the skilled labor of slavery days, and bemcaneed the fact that nothing had come to replace that industrial side. By this time, Jennie Dean's influence had become very strong in the community, so that they were all ready to help her when she called the people together and said: "Keep your children at home. Don't send them to the cities. You must buy your land; become taxpayers. Make all you can and save all you can. Meanwhile, I will go out and raise the money to build a school where your children may be educated to trades. You do your part here, and I will do mine in the world." While Negroes have progressed, poverty still shows its handicap. The death rate of Negroes in thirty-three northern cities, each having a Negro population of at least 2,500 in 1910, was 25.1 per thousand. This was a decrease of 2 per thousand in a decade, but it was still very high in comparison with the white death rate of 15.7 per thousand, incidentally a It has been a practice in the recent past among our people to stand off and criticize the wayward young Negro and make no effort to help him. Many of us charged him with being responsible for his lost and ruined condition and fussed at him for not turning voluntarily to the paths of rectitude and for not healing his own ills. Others of us blamed our schools and educational institutions for these lamentable conditions, always seeming to excuse parents for their responsibility in the matter. All of which was wide of the marl. It is beginning to dawn now upon the majority of us that there is no effective substitute for good home training. Neither schools, colleges nor reformatories can do a work for the young as effectively as the home. The schools and colleges do all within their power for the morals of the young; the most of their time must of necessity be spent in technical or book instruction, which of itself may or may not better the morals. But conditions which compel fathers and mothers in Negro homes to become breadwinners to the neglect of the children, force The highest temperature ever known in a human being was recorded in the case of an Italian recently. A victim of lung disease, his temperature was 138. Some men who think they are dear are easily bought. No woman is safer than the length of her hatpin. There are 70,000 Indian farmers in the United States. lowering of 2.5 per thousand for the whites. A comparison for twenty-four southern cities showed a rate of 29.6 for Negroes, a decrease of 4 per thousand, and 16.9 for whites, a decrease of 2.9 from 1900. Malaria, tuberculosis, pneumonia and whooping cough seem to be more deadly among Negroes than among whites, while Negroes are better able to withstand measles, scarlet fever, diphtheria, cancer, appendicitis, diarrhea and violence. Also fewer Negroes commit suicide. Dr. W F. Brunner, health officer of Savannah, Ga., shows clearly in the current survey, how much of a menace this high death rate is to both Negroes and whites in the South. In 1913 there were about 39,000 whites and 42,000 Negroes in Savannah. Deaths from natural causes totaled 1,038 among the Negroes and only 442 among the whites. The infamous housing upon city dwelling Negroes, North and South, account for this great disparity. Of course, however, the city which permits a high death rate among Negroes pays the penalty among all its people. Bacteria are color blind. That the mortality rate among the colored population is vastly higher than among the whites has long been known. But efforts to learn the cause and to remedy the trouble have not yet gone very far. The New York department of health, however, is going into that task with an energy that promises good results. It is taking up the task with the cooperation of various colored civic organizations, all under an impulse given by Booker Washington and the National Negro Business league. It is generally understood that this heavy death rate is the result of ignorance as to the most sanitary methods of life and the care of alliments in their inception. For example, two types of disease are notable for abnormally large death rates among the colored people. These are infant mortality and tuberculosis. But in both of them it has been shown that right methods of living and care in the treatment of the disease can produce a notable saving of life. The work of training the Negroes to the style of life that will lower mortality is eminently notable in itself. But it is even more so with regard to its effect on the whites. Living as they do, close to us, even when segregated, they cannot convert their quarters into breeding places for disease without enlarging the danger of infection for the white population. It is to be hoped that the New York effort to improve that evil will be successful and widely copied. --- The will of Lemuel Googins, a colored barber of Baltimore, who died recently, was fled for probate. Googins' estate is said to be worth $200,000. Letters testamentary were issued to the Colonial Trust company, executor and trustee. The will bequeaths $4,000 to the Colored Masonic home to furnish two rooms in memory of Florence Googins, a deceased daughter. The residue of the estate is placed in trust with the Colonial Trust company as trustee, the income to be paid to Henrietta Googins, widow of the decedant, as long as she lives.

There is a colored man who is a major in the United States regular army, Maj. Charles Young. He has passed all his examinations with flying colors, is a first-class soldier and fighting man and, as a matter of fact, army officers are rather proud of him in an official way. The colored American citizen is not an alien. Reaching this country unwillingly about the same time as the white man, he has demonstrated his loyalty in every war in his country's defense. He is a self-supporting, industrious, thrifty and useful citizen, and has as much right to equal treat ment as those who have come later and rendered less service.

Canadian Wheat to Feed the World WESTERN CANADA SEEDING FINISHED Wheat and Other Grains Have Had an Excellent Start. The seeding of spring wheat was pretty general this spring about 7th of April or about as early as in Illinois and Iowa. Oats and barley followed. Information is to hand that on first of May all seeding was practically finished. Farmers will now be busy at their breaking, and the land for summer fall will be entered upon. Some who did not get their land prepared last fall, will be later than the others, but as the spring in Western Canada has been very open they will be only a few days later. At the time of writing rain would be welcome, but at seeding time, the ground contained a splendid lot of moisture and the lack of rain at the present time will not be serious. The number of farmers who have gone into the raising of cattle has been considerably increased, and the preparation for extensive cultivated grass pastures is in evidence everywhere. The cultivation of fodder corn is being largely entered upon in Manitoba there being upwards of 25,000 acres in corn. In Saskatchewan there will be a large increase in the area planted, and in Alberta many of the more progressive farmers are taking hold of it. The yield varies according to the cultivation it receives, and runs from five to nine tons per acre. In some portions of Manitoba where it has been poor for some years, success has been achieved in ripening and it is expected that a variety will soon be developed that will provide seed for the entire West, that will at an early date give to Western Canada a fame for the growing of a marketable corn equal to that it has now for the growth of smaller cereals. A trip through Western Canada reveals field after field of alfalfa, the growth of which in any portion of the country is now absolutely assured. When these facts are made known to the farmers of the corn and alfalfa growing states, where their value as wealth makers is so well known, there will be no hesitancy in taking advantage of the splendid gift of 160 acres of land made by the Government of the Dominion of Canada, where equal opportunities are offered. Besides these free grant lands, there are the lands of some of the railway companies and large land companies, that may be had at low prices and on reasonable terms. During the month of February a large number of inquiries were received, asking for farm lands. An encouraging feature of the farm land situation in Canada is the large percentage of sales made to settlers in the country who desire to increase their holdings or to others who will take up farming in place of different occupations previously followed.—Advertisement.

The dog of a French soldier followed him to the war, lived with him in the trenches and shared his blanket at night. A shell killed a dozen men and buried this one, badly wounded, in a trench which the explosion half filled with earth. The dog dug frantically for his master and managed to expose his face before he suffocated. Then he seized other soldiers by their clothing and finally succeeded in drawing them to the scene. They unearthed their comrade and put him on a hospital train, into which the dog also managed to force his way. At the hospital, near Paris, the man's leg was amputated, and the devotion of the dog was such that the attendants found a kennel for him near the kitchen and allowed him to visit his master twice a day. His love for the wounded man was so great and his sympathy with his suffering so evident as to touch the hearts of all who saw it. What does it mean? Here is devotion which exceeds that of many mothers, of many men. Here is affection manifested in a lower order of life which equals our own. It is probably true that the dog is of all animals the most capable of sincere, self-denying attachment, these higher qualities having been developed by long and close companionship with men. He can subordinate himself more completely and enter into man's feelings more sympathetically than any other form of life; yet how friendly and how loving to the extent of their capacity would all the furred and feathered folk of the woods and fields be if only man would meet them half way. How the birds would delight to sing for him if their confidence had not been destroyed by ages of persecution. There are Hindus who assert as a fact, within our experience, that there are kindly men who respect all animal life whom neither tigers nor snakes will harm. An immunity of this sort was assured of old to believers, but it would seem that nobody has sufficient faith to make trial of it nowadays. Congressman William G. Sharp, when the conversation turned to the practical use of things, said he was reminded of an incident that happened in the West. Some time ago a young colored man was picked up by a policeman and taken to the city lockup. Eventually he appeared before the committing magistrate. "Young man," sternly remarked the magistrate in opening the case, "you are charged with carrying a razor. What have you got to say for yourself?" "Dat am berry true, boss," earnestly protested the defendant, "but dat razah am a safety razah." "Well," impatiently demanded the magistrate, "what has that got to do with it?" "It am dis way, yo' honah," explained the colored party. "A safety razah am only carried fo' de moral effec." Not for Practical Use. especially prepared Hair Oil receipt of 50 cents a box.

The background is plain white. There are no other discernible elements or text.]] William Barnes, Jr., Republican political leader of New York state, as he appeared at Syracuse when his libel suit against Colonel Roosevelt was called for trial Mrs. Gummidge. I do not know whether Dickens seriously intended Mrs. Gummidge to be taken as a portrait of Queen Victoria, but there is not the slightest doubt that there is a strong likeness between the illustrious sovereign who mourned so faithfully for Prince Albert, and the charming old lady in "David Copperfield," who was always "thinking of the old 'un.'" If Queen Victoria had been the widow of a Yarmouth fisherman her devotion to the memory of her husband might have seemed Gummidgean to her most loyal subjects. But the luxury of regret is one of the privileges of royalty, whereas in humble life it is a comic extravagance. *The poor woman cannot afford to spend her life in weeping over the most excellent spouse. Perpetual brooding over the best of men is in our day regarded as mawkish and morbid. Queen Alexandra has set all widows a splendid example of cheerful fortitude and energetic social service. The modern woman is far more practical than her mother or her grandmother. It is the modern man who wallows in unhealthy sentiment, and who revels in gloom and melancholy. Nearly every man relies on some valiantly optimistic woman to revive his drooping soul—London Opinion. Nancy Jay of Richmond is four years old and full of wisdom—and some Scripture. Nancy's parents are Mr. and Mrs. Harry Jay. The parents belong to a coterie that gathers every so often to agitate the feet in the new dances. Recently the dancing club adopted the plan of meeting at Mr. and Mrs. Jay's every other Monday evening. The Jays have a house well adapted to dancing. The members of the club bring their suppers as if bound for a picnic. They eat then dance. Nancy Jay has grown weary of the commotion. And so, a few nights ago, as she knelt by her bed to pray, she up a little Lord's prayer all her own. The mother was startled to hear this plea issue from her daughter's supplicating soul: "And, O Lord, deliver us from people and lead us not into hesitation." —Indianaapolis News. --- ```markdown ``` Tel. 3077-J Dire Fate.
