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 QUICK ACTION IN LATEST WAR GERMANS FOLLOW OLD TACTICS IN ATTEMPTING RUSH VICTORY. TWO MORE WAR VESSELS SUNK Russians. Lose Largest Vessel, With 1,400 Men On Board and Turkish Destroyer Is Sunk In Dardanelles. London.—Little or no time has been allowed to elapse between the declaration of war and actual fighting between Italy and Austrin. Austrian aeroplanes, destroyers and torpedo boats descended on the Italian coast of the Adriatic and bombarded several towns, including Venice, while in the Tyrol and on the eastern Frontier 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 believed that attempts to inflict a quick and decisive defeat or at least one that will discourage the Italians, will be undertaken largely by the Germans under Field Marshal Von Hind enburg. 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 delivered almost immediately at the Italian center. This, the Germans doubtless believe, would serve to hold off an Italian advance from the province of Venice, where the flat nature of the country would give the Italians a great chance of success. Throughout Austria and Germany there is bitter denunciation of Italy which for the moment has replaced England as the most hated enemy. In the allied countries, on the other hand, Italian intervention is bailed with delight, and in the Italian quarters of London and Paris there have been enthusiastic demonstrations and cheering farewells to the Italians leaving for home to join the colors. Italy has given her adhesion to the agreement already signed by the allied powers not to conclude a separate peace. Slavs And Turks Each Lose Vessel Berlin.—The Overseas News Agency gave out the following: "According to a Bucharest dispatch the Russian armored man-of-war Win television has been sunk, with 1,400 men in the Black sea." The foregoing evidently refers to the Russian battleship Panteleimon, which is listed in naval reference books as having a peace complement of about 740 men. The Panteleimon was built in 1897. She was 378 feet long. Her displacement was 12,582 tons. She carried four twelve-inch guns, 16 six-inch, 4 three-inch, 6 three-pounders, and 3 torpedo tubes. Constantinople. — An official statement says: "The gunboat Pelenk-I-Deria was sunk Monday, by a submarine. Two of the crew were killed." The Pelenk-I-Deria was built at Kiehl in 1890. Her displacement was 886 tons. She was used as a torpedo boat depart ship. WANT MEAT SHIPMENTS RELEASED American Packers Object To Action of England. Washington — Representatives of the big American meat packers who have been protesting for months against Great Britain's holding up of their products shipped to neutral European nations, conferred here with their counsel, Alfred Urion, who has been in England since January attempting to secure release of shipments valued at millions of dollars. Mr. Urion met with Arthur Mecker, vice-president of Armour and Company; Gustavus F. Swift of Swift and Company; Thomas E. Wilson, president of Morris and Company; A. R. Brown of Schwarzchild & Sulzberger and other representatives of those big packing concerns who came from Chicago for the consultation with state department officials. Mr. Urion has been in constant touch with the British authorities endeavoring to bring about an understanding whereby neutral beef cargoes would escape detention. Great Britain has frankly stated that many shipments were held up because of the apparent excessive quantities going to neutral countries, giving rise to the suspicion that much of the meat was destined to Germany. Although Mr. Urion would not discuss the subject, it was understood that he had returned from Europe with a proposal for his clients from the British government which would necessitate consultation with state department officials. Bodies of Victims Reach New York. New York.—The bodies of nine Lusitania victims, first of those to be brought to New York were landed here from the American line steamer New York, the dead were: Charles Frohman, New York; Mr. and Mrs. Charles A. Plamondon, Chicago; T B. King, New York; C. T. Brodrick, Boston; I. F. Trumbull, Bridgeport; Conn.; A. R. Foley, Trenton, N. J.; Miss H. Ellis, St Thomas, Ont.; Miss M. C. Bright. The New York carried 530 passengers, 105 in the steerage. THE MAN WHO ORDERED IT Copyright British Army Independence Admiral P. T. von Tirpitz, head of the German navy, who planned the sinking of the Lusitania. SUBMARINE WAR DISCONTINUED PENDING ANSWER TO AMERICAN ULTIMATUM. German Government Temporarily Changes Its Policy Towards Merchant Shipping. New York.—Orders suspending submarine operations against merchant vessels have been issued by the German government pending the outcome of negotiations regarding the representations made by this government in President Wilson's note, according to a Washington dispatch to the Times. The Times says that the information was obtained "in a well informed quarter" after cable press dispatches had said a German submarine fired a torpedo at the liner Transylvania on her trip from New York to Glasgow. It was stated that the report about the Transylvania could not be correct "for the reason that submarine activity had been discontinued by the German government." It is not disclosed, the Times dispatch says, whether the new orders require that there are to be no attacks by German submarines on freight vessels of nations at war with Germany when they are supposed to carry war supplies and have no passengers on board, but the dispatch says it is the understanding that the order will apply to all merchant vessels, belligerent as well as neutral. The order, it was said, was issued about a week ago, but the supposition is that it has not been made officially. CABINET CRISIS IN GREAT BRITAIN Several Members of the Government Slated To Retire. London.—The resignation of the veteran sailor, Lord Fisher, from his post of first sea lord of the admiralty because he and his nominal civilian superior, Winston Spencer Churchill, first lord of the admiralty, have been unable to work together, is probably the first step toward a sweeping reorganization of the British government. A coalition cabinet composed of the strongest men of both political parties is believed to be the probable solution of the government's difficulties. There is no question of a complete change of the government, but the retirement of several members of the liberal cabinet to make way for the strongest men of the conservative party is confidently expected. Premier Asquith will remain at the head of the government in any event, with Lord iKtchener and Sir Edward Grey, respectively, the war and foreign ministers, in undisputed position of their present posts while David Lloyd-George, the chancellor of the exchequer, and Mr. Churchill probably will take new positions. Of the conservatives, Andrew Bonar Law, the opposition leader in the house of commons, former President Balfour, Lord Derby and Austen Chamberlain most certainly will enter the cabinet and Lord Curzon, Lord Milner or the Earl of Selborne from the conservative leaders in the house of lords. The labor party would probably be represented by the Right Hon. Arthur Henderson, its chairman, and there is talk of both the Irish leaders, John Redmond and Sir Edward, becoming members. Villa Money Drops In Value. El Paso.—Fighting between Villa forces and troops of a new faction was reported to American officials as having just occurred south of Sierra Blanca, Texas. The extent of the battle was not made known. Villa money dropped to four and one-half cents on the Mexican peso, its lowest mark. The Carranza issue remained over six cents on the local market. No fighting of great consequence in the central campaign was reported by either faction. THE TULSA STAR ITALY ENTERS GREAT CONFLICT FORMAL DECLARATION OF WAR IS SERVED ON AUSTRIA- HUNGARY. TROOPS FIRST CLASH ON BORDER Eight Nations Now Fighting Against German-Austrian-Turkish Coalition In Bloodiest War of World's History. Rome—Italy is at war with Austria-Hungary. With the issuance of the general mobilization order the Italian government issued a proclamation declaring war on Austria. Prior to this and after a lengthy consultation the ministers of war and marine proclaimed all the provinces bordering on Austria and the islands and coast towns of the Adriatic in a state of war, which was equivalent to the establishment of martial law, the step usually preceding the formal declaration. Baron Von Maccchio, the Austro-Hungarian ambassador to Italy, was handed his passports. The Italian minister at Vienna, the duke of Avarna, has been recalled. The first skirmish of the Italian-Austrian war occurred between Italian and Austrian troops at Forcellini di Montozzo, in the pass between Pout di Legno and Pele. An Austrian patrol crossed the frontier but was attacked by Italian Alpine chasseurs and driven back over the border. Kaiser Gets Into It, Too. In the official statement issued at Berlin the German government says that by this attack against the dual monarchy, Italy also has broken her alliance with Germany and adds that the loyal relationship existing between Austria-Hungary and the German empire remains unimpaired. The German ambassador has received instructions to leave Rome con- HIS "NATIONAL ASPIRATIONS" "Declaration has been made as from the 4th of this month to the imperial and royal government of grave motives for which Italy, confident in her good right, proclaimed annulled and henceforth without effect her treaty of alliance with Austria-Hungary, which was violated K. V. K. jointly with the Austro-Hungarian ambassador. The United States government in connection with requests received nearly a month ago will now take over the custody of Italian diplomatic and consular interests in Austria, and Austrian interests in Italy. Switzerland will take care of Germany's business in Italy. The entrance of Italy into the world war brings the number of states engaged up to eleven. Italy, allied with Germany and Austria-Hungary since 1882 in the triple alliance, was called upon las summer, shortly after the assassination of the Austrian crown prince at Sarajevo, Bosnia, to support the Germanic empires. She declined and there began a series of diplomatic negotiations which soon resolved themselves into efforts on the part of Germany and Austria-Hungary to induce Italy to remain neutral. Prince Von Buelow, an astute German statesman whose wife is an Italian woman, was sent to Rome to save the situation. He labored indefatigably for months, but in vain. He offered Italy certain parts of Austrian territory as the price of her neutrality, but her answer was always "it is not enough." It now appears Austria did not really believe Italy would enter the field against her. HORRIBLE WRECK OF ENGLISH TROOP TRAIN Carlisle, Eng.—One hundred and sixty-four soldiers, apart from civilians, as the known dead, with the prospect that the total casualties will reach 400, was the toll when three trains, one carrying troops, were wrecked at Gretna, near here. Fire which broke out in the wreckage added to the horror of the catastrophe. The flames, however, were extinguished quickly and the firemen joined in the task of rescuing the dead and injured. Many of the injured are CONSTANTINE OF GREECE DYING 1914 King Constantine of Greece, who is ill with pleurisy became more feverish after undergoing an operation, his temperature increasing to 101.8 and later to 103.2. After a conference of the Greek cabinet ministers with the doctor treating King Constantine it was decided to telegraphe a specialist. Prof. Kraus of Berlin is now on his way. In the meantime there had arisen instantly a war party led by "irredentists," which made its voice heard in no uncertain terms. Dispatches from Rome for months have indicated sentiment for active participation in the war was stronger by far than that on the side of continued neutrality. These evidences of the popular determination had their effect. The announcement was made that the ministry of Premier Salandra would continue in office, whereupon there was instant calm throughout the country "Vienna, May 23, 1915. by the imperial and royal government and resumed her liberty of action in this respect. "The government of the king, firmly resolved to provide by all means at its disposal for safeguarding Italian rights and interests, cannot fall in its duty to take against every existing and future menace, measures which events impose upon it for the fulfillment of national aspirations "His majesty, the king, declares that he considers himself from tomorrow in a state of war with Austria-Hungary. "The undersigned has the honor to make known at the same time to his excellency, the foreign minister, that passports will be placed this very day at the disposal of the imperial and royal ambassador at Rome and he will be obliged to his excellency if he will kindly have his passports handed to him. “(Signed). “AVARNA.” Having gained their point the people quieted down as quickly as they had risen and urned to await the call for arms. For months the diplomatic exchanges between Vienna and Rome had been constant. The triple alliance was denounced by Italy on May 4, but even after this diplomatic endeavors were continued, Austria offering Italy further concessions as late as May 16. Italy's first move on land undoubtedly will be against the Austrian frontier. Large numbers of her troops are mobilized in this territory and the forces of Austria-Hungary are lined up on the other side of the boundary. The very mountainous character of the Terrain, the southern part of the Austrian Alps, promises fencing of the most difficult nature. For several weeks both the Austro-Hungarians and the Italian armies have been engaged in fortifying and otherwise adopting protective measures each on its side of the dividing line. So far as known, the Italian fleet is mostly in the Adriatic under the command of the Duke of Abruzzi, who is known to many Americans through his vits to the United States some ten years ago. It is generally believed the fleet will proceed promptly gainst the naval strength of Austria in these waters. An added hazard for the rescuers was the explosion of cartridges in the belts of soldiers imprisoned in the burning wreckage. Ammunition cars on the rear of the train were disengaged barely in time. Once on the scene they labored with frantic energy to control the flames. In the end they were successful, but before the fire was extinguished many of the travelers pinned under the wreckage were burned alive before the eyes of the helpless onlookers.

A PAGE FOR LADIES OF FASHION Nellie Maxwell Tells of things new and delicious to tempt the Palate The Lady The KITC CABIN The KITCHEN CABINET This is the time of the year when rhubarb is so much enjoyed. A pie made of the combination of raisins and rhubarb is one well liked. Raisin and Rhubarb Pie.—One and a half cupfuls of rhubarb peeled and diced fine, a half cupful of raisins, 1½ cupfuls of sugar, two rolled crackers and one egg. Line a pie plate with pastry, mix together the rhubarb, sugar, crackers, egg and raisins and fill the crust. Cover with a latticed top. Bake about forty minutes in a moderate oven. Rhubarb and Pear Salad.—Bake two cupfuls of rhubarb with a half cupful of sugar till tender but not broken, then chill. Mix together four tablespoonfuls of olive oil, two of lemon juice, a teaspoonful of sugar, salt and cayenne to taste. Arrange rhubarb and six halves of canned pears on a bed of lettuce, pour over the dressing and sprinkle with six tablespoonfuls of chopped candied ginger. Ginger Creama.—Mix a cupful of molasses, a cupful of sugar, a cupful of sour cream, two egg yolks and a half-cupful of melted lard. Mix four cupfuls of pastry flour, two teaspoonfuls of soda, a teaspoonful of cinnamon, a teaspoonful and a half of ginger, a teaspoonful of cloves, and a half-tea-spoonful of salt. Let stand after mixing well to swell, then drop by teaspoonfuls two inches apart on a buttered sheet. Bake in a moderate oven. A raisin may be placed on top of each before baking or a nut may be used for the top. They may be frosted with an orange flavored frosting, using confectioners' sugar and orange juice with rind for flavoring. Frozen Prune Fluff—Soak two cupfuls of prunes over night in three pints of water. In the morning add a cupful of sugar, the rind of half an orange and cook until the prunes are tender. Strain off the juice and remove the peel. Stone the prunes, rub through a sieve into the juice and chill, add a half-cupful of finely chopped walnuts and two egg whites unbeaten, then freeze. Serve garnished with orange marmalade. The rich French rolls are very popular for salad rolls. Take eight cupfuls of flour, four eggs, four tablespoonfuls of sugar, two tablespoonfuls of butter, one cake of yeast and two cupfuls of milk. Dissolve the yeast cake in a quarter of a cupful of lukewarm water, mix and give a hard beating, let rise until light, cut down three times with a sharp knife, make into rolls, let rise until light and bake in a moderate oven. Kentucky Rolls—Take four cupfuls of flour, one tablespoonful of sugar, one teaspoonful of salt, two eggs, half a cupful of lard, a half cake of compressed yeast. Mix the lard, sugar and flour, dissolve the yeast in a little lukewarm water, add enough warm milk to make a batter, beat well, to thoroughly mix the yeast and set in a warm place to rise. When light, add more flour to make a stiff dough and let rise again. When light make into rolls and when risen the third time bake in a hot oven. A cupful of freshly mashed potato added to any roll mixture will make a most delicious roll mixture, and one that will keep moist for some time. A bowl of the dough may be set away in the ice chest and baked a day or two later, and they will be even better than the first baking. Mush Muffins.—Take a cupful of cornmeal mush, oatmeal, farina or any other leftover cooked cereal, add a tablespoonful of melted butter, one of sugar, a teaspoonful of salt or less, one-fourth of a yeast cake dissolved in a cupful of lukewarm milk, and two cupfuls of sifted flour. Mix well and put to rise over night. In the morning beat well and fill the muffin pans half full.

Here are some recipes: Sally Lunn. - Take four cupfuls of flour, three eggs, one teaspoonful of butter, one cake of yeast and two Sally Lunn.—Take four cupfuls of flour, three eggs, one teaspoonful of butter, one cake of yeast and two cupfuls of milk. Beat the yolks of the eggs very light. Stir in the butter, flour and milk in which the yeast is dissolved. Mix well and add the beaten whites, set to rise and when light bake in well-buttered muffin pans. Another recipe is like the above with the addition of half a cupful of sugar and a half cupful of melted butter. These are really most dainty muffins. Mix and let rise as usual, and bake in the buttered muffin pans when risen full. English Bath Buns.—Dissolve one half a yeast cake in a cupful of lukewarm milk, add two cupfuls of flour or enough to make a sponge. Let rise until light, then add two-thirds of a cupful of melted butter and four well-beaten eggs. Knead and let rise for an hour. Make into balls the size of an apple and press currants and candied peel into each. Let rise in a warm place, brush with melted butter, sprinkle with sugar and bake in a hot oven. Perfection Muffins.—Mix together three cupfuls of flour, one cupful of corn meal, two teaspoonfuls of baking powder, one tablespoonful of sugar and one teaspoonful of salt. Add a quarter of a cupful of softened lard or butter, three well-beaten eggs and two cupfuls of milk. Beat into a firm batter and when risen bake in well-buttered muffin rings. Rice Muffins—Take a cupful of boiled rice, two cupfuls of flour, two eggs, beaten well, three tablespoonfuls of lard or butter, a teaspoonful of salt and milk enough to make a thin batter. Beat hard for three minutes, and bake in hot muffin pans in a quick oven. Served with maple sirup, these are hard to equal. CARROTS AS A VEGETABLE. Carrots are not half appreciated, for they are an excellent vegetable, and one which may be kept for winter use and afford variety when there are few fresh vegetables to be had at reasonable prices. The little new carrots are delicious cooked until tender in just enough water to cook them without burning. Using a large one which may be kept for winter use and afford variety when there are few fresh vegetables to be had at reasonable prices. The little new carrots are delicious cooked until tender in just enough water to cook them without burning. Using a large amount of water takes out the flavor of the vegetable, and it is wasted. Carrots cooked with new potatoes, new peas and onions and when tender, add some chopped cooked bacon and milk enough for a sauce, is a most appetizing dish. Austrian Carrots.—Scrape 12 carrots and cut in quarter-inch strips, cook until tender, and add a table-spoonful of butter, three-fourths of a cupful of sugar, a teaspoonful of salt and a half cupful of vinegar, cook until the carrots are clear and translucent. Carrot Pie.—Gather the following ingredients: One cupful of cooked sifted carrots, one and a half pints of milk, two eggs, a cupful of sugar, two tablespoonfuls of flour, a half teaspoonful of salt, a teaspoonful of cinnamon, a teaspoonful of ginger, a dash of nutmeg, add cloves and a half teaspoonful of vanilla extract. Beat the eggs, to which add the salt, then add the sugar mixed with the flour and other dry ingredients, thoroughly mix, and add the milk and vanilla. Pour into a well made crust and bake. Carrot Pudding.—This is a famous old pudding which will keep indefinitely and is very good with a rich sauce. Scald a cupful of milk, and pour it over three cupfuls of bread-crumbs. Mix a half cupful of light brown sugar, a teaspoonful of salt, ginger, cinnamon, and a fourth of a teaspoonful of nutmeg together and cream with half a cupful of butter. Add a cupful of cooked sifted carrots, three well-beaten eggs, beat well, then add a cupful each of figs or dates, chopped, and a cupful of raisins, dredged with a half cupful of flour. Mix all together and steam three hours. Serve with a hard sauce or with an egg sauce.

Pretty Designs May Be Made at Home by Anyone at All Skillful With the Needle—Little Distinction in the Sexes. Little sun hats and poke bonnets for small children's wear this season are exceedingly pretty. The materials for making them come stamped for decorating and cutting out; or, if one prefers, goods can be bought and designed to suit individual taste, where the materials used and the new shapes are known. Again, if making the entire hat is regarded as beyond the skill of the home sewer, it can be bought ready for wear in the children's department, and the trimmings, stamped for working, in the art department. They are sold separately and require less skill than hat making. Hats and bonnets for children between two and five years of age are of linen, fine duck and pique. Younger children wear sheer nainook, wash silk and handkerchief linen. In shape, the hats are on the mushroom order and the bonnets in poke and Dutch cap effects. The poke appears to be the more practical for summer, as the cap affords no protection to the eyes from the sun. Both boys and girls wear the hats, and infants of both sexes wear the small caps. A very pretty design in a hat, especially for a little girl, is a mushroom shape of medium fine linen, trimmed with a scarf of finest ivory white mull. The scarf is hemmed on the sides and then laid in small folds around the crown, the ends falling down the back. Where the scarf meets at the back it is held with an oval-shaped motif embroidered in shades of blue silk and buttoned around the edge with a darker shade of blue. The ends are decorated to match. The same hat for a boy has a plain band trimming of the hat material about an inch and a half wide, buttoned in shallow scallops on the COUPLER Children's New Millinery. edges and decorated with a simple, conventional design throughout the length. The band meets at the side and is held down with three small pearl buttons in tab fashion. The poke bonnets are fashioned after those worn by the Salvation army lasses, but sometimes the crown is soft and puffy. This depends upon the kind of material used. If thin, it is plaited into a soft crown. The heavier goods are laid on plain. Daisies in natural colors form a pretty decoration for poke bonnets, with a scattering of the blossoms on the crown and a spray laid across the brim. Apple blossoms also are attractive. Small flowers should be avoided, lacking effectiveness. Cross stitch looks quaint and may decorate hats and bonnets alike. For play, headwear worked in cross stitch is very smart, especially if the little dresses carry out a similar design in their decoration. New Cretonne Cushions. There are some interesting new cushions for cretonne chairs that are made with a little apron attachment in front that hangs down from eight inches to a foot over the front of the chair. They are made of stenciled linen or cretonne and the little flap is edged with linen fringe about an inch wide. They are a novelty and very attractive. Lady Finger Basket. This basket is made by taking lady fingers and sticking them together with gelatin in two layers. Fill it with coffee-walnut jelly and ornament the top with walnut halves. The handle is two lady fingers which meet at the top with the walnut meats. OF FASHION Julia Bottomley's Latest Ideas on Inter- National Fashions e Tulsa Star WALL POCKET OF NEW DESIGN Ornament That Is Easy to Make and Is Always Capable of Good Use. A wall pocket of an extremely novel shape and design may be seen in the accompanying sketch, and at the same time it is quite easy and simple to make. For the foundation a piece of stiff cardboard is cut out in the shape indicated by the diagram marked A at the top of the illustration. This card is covered on side which is to be the A A Qualnt Wall Pocket. front with cream-colored watered silk, and at the back with sateen; the two pieces of material being stretched across on either side and sewed together at the edges. The pocket next can be sewed in its place, and is made of some of the same cream-colored watered silk, and lined with soft silk. The pretty little floral design which appears upon it consists of four pale-pink blossoms and leaves worked in various shades of green. The whole thing is edged throughout with a fine pale-pink silk cord, and it is ornamented with twelve little loops of narrow pale-pink satin ribbon, arranged in the manner shown in the sketch. For suspending the pocket from nails in the wall, two small brass rings are sewed on the points indicated, and, though a box of matches is shown placed in the pocket in our illustration, it could, of course, be used for letters or other articles, if desired; and it forms a very quaint and pleasing decoration for the wall. IN THE POPULAR CHECKS Attractive Frocks Especially Designed for Appropriate Adornment of the Small Girl. Checked materials of every size and character are a feature and the small maiden pictured perched upon the wall wears a checked zephyr. Lacquer red and white is a charming alliance, and it is in that I am visioning the pictured frock, the quaint little roll collar, cuffs and vest of white linon. The buttons are likewise covered with the white linon, worked in the center with a cross stitch of lacquered silk. The other design could be carried out equally well in fine serge or linen. The scalloped finish to the hem of the skirt and round the armholes is a veritable craze just now, and provides pleasant work for expert fingers. The frock itself is just a straight sacque, four longish slits being arranged at the waist, through which a belt is THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIES Frocks for Little Girls.

The sleeves and collar are of white organdie and the most prac- tical plan for introducing these would be mounted on a separate small underbodice.—London Sketch. O Transparent Hats and Others for Midsummer Rg Admirers of the shepherd's check in clothes for tailored suits—and these are many—were given a very great variety in models this spring to choose from. Those suits 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-walsted box coats. A less number had short jackets, and some of the smartest were designs in which semifitting coats figured Skirts were nearly always plain, moderately wide and somewhat flaring. The advance of the season proved that the suits of shepherd's check received a merited appreciation. The pretty spring suit becomes the crisp midsummer suit by a variation of the shoes and hats worn with it, and is a paying investment for street wear. One of them is illustrated here. The perfectly tailored skirt is plain with moderate flare and cut instep length. Transparent Hats and Early in the season hats having transparent brims made their appearance. These brims were flat and mounted on braid crowns. They were made of malines, net, chiffon or thin crepe. Nearly always, embedded between layers of such airy materials, flowers, with petals spread flat, added touches of lovely color. The effect is 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 season and to introduce many transparent 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 is 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 flitter jet. There is an immense pompon of malines at the front with two long jet ornaments thrust in it. Nothing could be prettier for midsummer wear than this exquisite piece of millinery. Hemp and leghorn hats, with facings of crape on the upper or under brims are among the loveliest offerings in dress hats. Light pink crepe is the favorite color and hats of this character are among the best designed for bridesmaids at June weddings. One of them is shown in the illustration. It has a crown of hemp and its upper brim covered with crepe stretched smoothly over it, leaving the hemp as a facing. It is trimmed --- PAGE THREE Street Suit The jacket is among the modest number made with normal waist line, which rises a little at the back, where plaits are depended from the belt. It is cut in points at the front, is longer than at the back and is shaped by small plaits laid in at each side. The belt terminates at these plaits. The shoulders are somewhat long and so are the plain coat sleeves. The flaring turnover collar is cut in three pieces and unusually well adjusted. Ball buttons in three sizes are used for fastening and trimming. The suit is worn with low shoes and black cloth gaiters, to be changed to white for midsummer wear. The sailor hat, of black taffeta, with collar and border in black and white stripe, is trimmed with small pompons of black feathers with long curving ribs extending from them. White neck ruffs of mallines or combinations of white and black look well with these check suits. Others for Midsummer with a wreath of rose foliage against a background of ribbon with a narrow border in black. Little June roses are set in the wreath. The ribbon band is extended into sash ends at the back. Near the brim a little cluster of roses is tied into the sash with a bow. The coloring is 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. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. Smart Costume. One of the smartest costumes for young women, exhibited on a living model at a recent opening, was of very pale tan worsted and mohair mixture, made with short, flare skirt, revealing the new silm black leather pump, gull-less of buckle or bow, and stockings of natural silk. A little coat, buttoning high to the throat, was surmounted by a very tall choker collar of white organdie with points reaching up over the cheeks and a broad stock of black satin holding it in place. The coat had a belt and a plaited coattail at the back. This knowing spring costume was completed by a tiny black satin hat with slashed sailor brim and a floating, veil of black mesh with a allover vinet pattern. Dotted Chiffon Gown. Chilton figured in large polka dots of contrasting color is used for some very smart looking frocks, but models of such pronounced material must be very graceful and conservative of line, and utterly without elaboration.

The Doctor says Oklahoma City has 'em all beat in the point of high grade attractions. Oklahoma Citeans appreciate Tulsa Star. A number of new names are added to our subscription list. Dr. Haywood one of the leading physicians and surgeons of Oklahoma City and at the head of "Utopia" hospital says "The Star is an excellent paper, please take my name." Mr. Jno. Smith already at the head of several local organizations, and held waiter at the famous Lee-Huckins hotel has just organized a new brass band. Mr. Smith is a man of ability and knows where of he speaks when he says "The Tulsa Star is a splendid payer, I want you to send it to me." The installation exercises Tuesday evening of the U. B.

Very interesting and impressive were the confirmation services at the Peoples church Sunday. Many took advantage of witnessing the occasion. Dr. Light delivered a very touching and forceful sermon from the subjects "United we stand, divided we fall." Test: "Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for the brethren to dwell together in unity." The Oklahoma Gazette in its last issue, gave the Peoples' Church credit for doing more real charitable work than any other church in the city. In keeping with the above we must say the system by which the Peoples church is operated is far in advance of the old namby parby way of carrying on church work. Mr. R. S. Jacobson the energetic agent of the Tulsa Star sold every copy of the Star he had at the Peoples church Sunday. The Peoples Church is the only church that proposes to build and maintain a home for all the old Ex-Slaves widows and orphans, regardless of denominational proclivities. Dr. Light and his people should receive the unstinted support of every Negro in the state, in this great movement. He can and will do it if we will help him. You should not fail to get the new book that will soon be placed before the public of the "Object, Purposes and Plans of the Peoples' Church." There are new features and new departments being added to the already long list of enterprises of the Peoples church. The most recent of these enterprises is the hospital nurse training department under Madam Roberson "Watch us grow." --- THE TULSA STAR THAT IDIOTIC FRIEND MOST OF US HAVE HAD EXPERIENCE WITH HIM. Worst of It All is That the Surge of Hate in One's Heart Has to Be Suppressed, Though at Times It Almost Chokes. Most of the annoyances of life are caused by friends. It doesn't annoy you when your enemy tries to get you in bad. You don't expect anything else from him. It's his regular business. You'd feel that he was a pretty meansly sort of an enemy if he didn't try to puncture one of your tires. Then you can think and speak about him as a leprous horned toad. But you can't think or speak about a friend that way when he gets under your skin. He's your friend! That's all there is to it—he did it, and he's a feeble-minded anteater, but he's still your friend! Only a dear friend would greet you when you're feeling peculiarly gay and fit with, "Sa-a-aay! What's the trouble? You look positively green, old horse! Don't you feel well? You ought to take a long rest, that's right; I don't like that hollow-eyed look of yours; perhaps it's your heart." Come up behind you when you are looking calmly at some old prints in a window on the avenue and forgetting there are such things in the world as idiotic friends, and let his enormous flat nine-pound hand down on you between your shoulders so that you think for the moment that a prehistoric mule with hoofs on him the size of the rubbish receptacles on the corners has planted them in the interior of your lungs! Only a friend could inspire such diabolical and streaming hatred that rises up in the wreck of your breast, when you manage to turn and see what hit you! If you happen to ask certain friends to go motoring several times and have them to dinner quite often and you let two or three Sundays go by without asking them, it is only dear friends who would, on meeting you next time, greet you with a Hudson Bay expression and a bucket of sarcasm! Or, Speaking of the sex that is responsible for all the poets, who but a true and tried friend would put over to her friend, "Oh, Camille, you were such a pretty girl, as a young girl, and you did have the loveliest clothes!"—James Montgomery Flagg, in the American Magazine. Known by Chipped Tooth. Down at League Island the entire marine corps is shaking with silent laughter at the dilemma of the officers of Company 17. Second regiment, for the company has as members unusual twins. They are Leslie and Halle Woodcock, twenty years old, from South Carolina. At enlistment they were promised they would not be placed in separate companies. In reading the list of those detailed for various police duties in the morning the officers merely mention the name of Woodcock. They realize that one blond twin will report for duty. Further investigation is useless. One or two of the men have discovered a small place has been chipped from a front tooth of one of the twins. "That would be a hot one," observed an old sergeant. "Who goes there—Woodcock? Halt and uncover tooth." —Philadelphia (Pa.) Dispatch to New York Herald. Soul of the Samurai The beautiful Japanese sword which has been presented to King Albert was forged in 1577 by the famous swordsmith, Kakagawa Shichiyemono-jo Yukikane, who died in the year of the great armada. To the collector it is the wonderful adornments of the hilt, guard and scabbard of the Japanese swords which appeal. But to the connolseur it is the blade itself. For the Japanese swords excelled the finest products of Damascus or Toledo, and the great smiths were a hereditary caste, who forged their blades with secret and immemorial religious rites. This blade was the "living soul of the samurai." The finest blades were made of soft magnetic iron, with a hard steel edge which was tempered in cold water while the softer backing was sur rounded with fire clay. To Speak Japanese. Strange as it may seem, it is nevertheless a fact (which was admitted in the house of commons a short time ago) that there is not a single officer in the British army who understands the Japanese language! Some time ago one of the assistant directors of military operations on the staff of the army council compiled a work on strategy, and the Japanese war office authorities perceiving its value, translated the work, and, as is usual in such cases, forwarded the British author some copies of the translation. The author, not knowing the language, turned over the leaves of the army list, and found that not a single officer in the British army was qualified to act as interpreter in the language of its allies.

It is pointed out that the placing of boys in good situations presents no difficulty. There were but recently 249 boys seeking employment and 306 employers seeking boys, this being a complete reversal of the state of things a year ago. On the other hand, there were 32 vacancies in the girl's department and 455 applicants for them. The problem presented by these hundreds of unemployed girls is giving the committee the greatest anxiety—Philadelphia Evening Telegraph To the average man the names of the new Greek ministers may prove bewildering, but to the initiated they reveal a good deal. Until after the war of liberation a century ago few of the Greek population had surnames, and a recent generation created their patronymics by various methods, but generally by adopting the name of their trade or birthplace, to which their successors have added the terminals "opontes," "ides," "akes," or 'akos,' equivalent to our English 'son.' Most Greek surnames summarize the family history. FOR YOUR GROCERIE CONFET 404 NOR We carry a special line of and cold drinks. Prompt and careful attent MRS. A. J.

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.

A visitor to a manufactory saw a man molding clay into pots. Noticing that all the molding was done by hand, he said to the workman, "Why do you not use a tool to aid you in shaping the clay?" The workman replied: "There is no tool that can do this work. We have tried different ones, but somehow it needs the human touch."

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.
