DULUTH STRONG PLEA FOR WOMAN'S RIGHTS Forum Hears Stirring Address by Mrs. George W. Cook. WANTS EQUAL OPPORTUNITY Harrisburg, Pa.—The People's forum in this city has won an enviable place among literary organizations by bringing before its members from time to time some of the most distinguished men and women of the race to deliver lectures and addresses. Among those who have favored the forum in this capacity are Professors George W. Cook, Kelly Miller, W. Bruce Evans and Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois. At the recent meeting of the forum Mrs. George W. Cook delivered a stirring address on "The Daughters of Men," which proved to be a strong plea for the rights of women. Woman's part in the history of civilization was fully outlined and her well earned as well as inherent right to the ballot in stated upon. In part Mrs. Cook said: In the rebuilding of ancient Jerusalem woman took a part, but the rarely dwells upon the incident so significant in itself and so important to be recalled by all womankind. The incident is but typical of what has been taking place in the world throughout all ages and among all peoples. Wherever a great was been wrought, wherever the march of the people has last disturbed, wherever individual thought and action have made the world better, the daughters of men have ever been at work. Even primitive woman, while her better half was as yet only a huntsman or fisherman or bloodthirsty warrior, built the prepares the meals and in her lonely cave has been able to refine domestic life and perfectly appointed home which are a part of our present day civilization. Even religion would lose half its significance if the Summae character had no part in its composition. Pharosch puts to the test the daughter's head bends low over the ark of bulrushes, and Moses is saved to lead the children of Israel from the land of bondage. Eve indeed offers to Adam the fatal apple, and Eden is lost to man, but Mary the daughter's head bends low over the ark of bulrushes, and Moses is saved to lead the children of Israel from the land of bondage. Mrs. Cook cited many of the prominent figures of history. Semiramis, Zenobia, Hypatia, Cadjah, were all, she said, fore-runners of the women of the nineteenth century. Coming down to our own times, she declared that she was only finished in the emancipation proclamation what Harriet Beecher Stowe's had begun in 'Uncle Tom's Cabin.' " Strange and sad as it may seem, it is yet true that the daughters of men through all these ages have been the victors and subordinate to man made states and governments. While her work and self sacrifice made luminous the history of civilization, her long borne subjection is one of the darkest pages in all the great volume. All that women ask is the opportunity to off an individual or class from progress and development that might be theirs. Mental development and the full enjoyment of the exercise of all the privileges of citizenship were surely never meant to belong to one half of the race to the ex-merchant class, and the hardiness to be found in a life of action and usefulness is incomparably superior to that to be had in inactivity and ignorance. Not only is it injustice to women themselves to withhold from them their rights, but it is also an injustice to the large majority of the other half who have the right to the ballot and affected more or less favorably according to the intelligence and conscience of those who are voters. No halfway measure will suffice. School suffrage and municipal suffrage are all very well, but suffrage on identically the same basis as the other half is the demand of this long robbed half of society. So long as inequality of rights controls the relation of men and women many another evil is bred. The industrial, legal, social and even the domestic status of women suffice from its baleefful influence. Women have the right to grasp this truth, but no thoughtful woman should fail to perceive that never before the law, never in the industries, the trades and the professions, never even in the home except as the goodness of individual man gives it them, will they be bound fair play until they obtain the ballot. No better argument can be offered in favor of woman's suffrage than results where the system already obtains. South Australia, New Zealand, Wyoming, Colorado, Idaho and Utah have none of them. It is not the case that the system, but, on the contrary, seem to flourish as the green bay tree. Would that the women of my race be not one whit behind the women of other races in joining the vanguard who will blaze the path for others to follow. It would be that the immortal few—who lead in any great reform. Let us have no fear for the final out come of the woman question. The cause for which we plead is so right and so just that it is very sure of victory. FIRST DUTY. We should tell ourselves once for all that it is in the first duty of the soul to become as happy, complete, independent and great as lies in its power.—Maeterlinck. If it's in the Star, it's right.

His good reputation in the community, and long service record, with his employers, speaks well for him. The evidence of the girl was not corroborated, and the fact that no complaints were made to the road officials, show that there was no cause for the charge.

Railway, and who resides in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, called on us. He has been travelling over the country on a three-months' furlough. He has created much surprise owing to the fact that no colored sleeping car conductors are known in this section. He relates some amusing incidents in connection with his travels. He is a native of Bedford county, Tennessee, enlisting in 1875 at Nashville, and was First Sergeant of Company F. Twenty-fifth Infantry. He left the service in 1890. There are three colored conductors on that line where he is employed. He is of a dark complexion and he stands six feet, two inches, weighing 220 pounds. We are glad that the Sergt. is well and his "Travelogues" are so interesting. He is a "mighty good fellow" and there are a few more. Mr. Chas. Blackburn is employed by above company as sleeping car conductor and Mr. Edw. J. White as dining car conductor. We are also glad to mention conductor Samuel Teal, of the Soo dining car department, who has been in his present position many years. He is the "Pride of the department", trusted by the officials, respected by the traveling public and honored by his crew—on account of his thorough ability and exceptional good qualities. Leader of Party in St. Paul En Route to Manitoba Said to Be Worth $40,000—United States Consul at Winnipeg Instructed to Look After the Interests of the Immigrants Now Being Held Up. St. Paul, March 22.—Driven from Oklahoma, where they claim they had been robbed of property and the right to vote, a band of negroes are in St. Paul, facing the problem of being barred from Western Canada, where they had hoped to start anew. Those in St. Paul are the advance guard of at least 1,000 people of mixed Creek Indian and negro blood. The Dominion government last year let in a few of the negroes, but the authorities, apparently scenting a "race problem," have taken steps to stem the tide, with the result that when the families in St. Paul reach the Canadian border they may find themselves forced to return to Oklahoma or some other state in the Union. There are ninty-four adults and twenty-four children in the party in St. Paul. They were accompanied by Louis F. McFarland, district passenger agent of the Chicago Great Western, and G. W. Norman, traveling passenger agent of the Grand Trunk Pacific of Kansas City. The negroes come from Wakeale, Okla., with the exception of two men, who resided at Okmugue, which was the headquarters of the Creek nation years ago. Nearly all are said to have owned and operated farms. The leader, by the name of Smeed, is reported to be worth $40,000, with about $10,000 of it in his possession. There is one man in the party, seventy years old, who was a slave. UNCLE SAM WATCHING CASE First Colony of Negroes Held Up at Emerson, Man. Emerson, Man., March 22.—United States Consul General Jones, in Winnipesau, has been instructed by the state department in Washington to insist to the Dominion immigration officials that the negroes en route from Oklahoma be admitted if they have the proper qualifications. The first colony from Oklahoma has arrived here. It is 100 strong and is being held pending a thorough investigation of the material means and physical fitness of its members. James Cornwell, member of parliament from Alberta, who is here, says the colony that settled near Edmonton has been receiving financial aid from the immigration bureau because most of its members are unable even to handle a homesteading proposition. Latest reports from Canada state that this party has passed the immigration inspection, and are enroute Edmonton. The party averaged $300 per man. Mr. Miles Jackson has been suffering from an attack of rheumatism, but is able to be out. Mrs. Jackson was also confined to her bed from the grippe. ST. PAUL St. James A. M. E. Church, Rev. H. P.

Both Mr. Johnson and Mr. Taylor were former students at Tuskegee, and renewed a pleasant acquaintance with Dr. and Mrs. Washington. Mrs. Della M. Pettis of Fuller St., is confined to her home with a severe attack of Grippe. The Social and Literary Society of Pilgrim Baptist Church held its regular meeting this week in the church parlors. Rev.

After an absence of several months, Dr. Carter received a hearty welcome and was royally entertained during his stay in the city. He filled the pulpit of several of the prominent white churches, as well as of our colored churches in the Twin Cities. The very flattering homecoming which Rev.

Johnson, pastor of the Warren Avenue Baptist Church, during his sermon on "The Assault on Booker T. Washington," declared his belief in the falsity of the charges brought against Dr. Washington in New York. He eulogized Mr. Washington, saying that he is the recognized leader of the colored race the world over and is as great an orator as William Jennings Bryan. "Booker T. Washington stands for the combination of moral, literary and industrial education," said the pastor, "yet in spite of this if you believe he was ever drunk or spoke insultingly to a woman you would never wish to hear him again. Sin means destruction of influence. "Justice demands that you shall believe he is absolutely innocent. If a man has led an upright life for more than 20 years you should believe the testimony of those years. Has he not a right to ask you to do what I will ask you tonight—to believe that he is a good man? "Who is the man who brings these charges? If the newspaper reports are true, he has wronged his own wife and child. There are a great many people here in Boston who will believe that Mr. Washington is a bad man, and they are of that class which is continually looking for something rotten, and that class will believe whatever is said about any man or woman in a community. Sunday was a call-day for overcoats, and March was in her best form. The Knights of Pythias of St. Paul are proud of their progress.

ADVERTISE IN THE STAR. TAR. No. 34. UNFORTUNATE EVENTS One hundred and forty-one persons—nine-tenths of them girls—were crushed to death on the pavements, smothered in smoke or shriveled crisp in a factory fire, the worst disaster New York has known since the steamship General Slocum was burned to the water's edge off North Brothers island in 1904. In addition to the dead twelve women and girls are at death's door in the hospitals. One hundred and fifty all told, perhaps, will conservatively cover the casualties when those whose horrible hurts and burns seem fatal shall have joined their fellow workers at the morgue. Nearly all, if not all, of the victims were employed by the Triangle Walst company on the eighth, ninth and tenth floors of a ten-story loft building at 23 Washington place, on the western fringe of the downtown wholesale clothing, fur and millinery district. There was not an outside fire escape on the building. The British Columbia Shipping company's little wooden steamer Sechelt turned turtle in a furious gale off Beechey Head, Vancouver island, and went down with all on board, twenty-two passengers and the crew of four men. Thirteen passengers had landed at William Head just before the steamer went out to destruction. Most of the passengers were railroad laborers bound for a Canadian Northern construction camp, but a few were residents of Sooke, B. C. Nine men were instantly killed in the Hazel mine of the Pittsburg and Buffalo Coal company at East Cannonsburg, Pa. They were being taken to their rooms in a remote part of the mine when a mass of loose slate in the roof fell, filling one car in which there were ten men. One man escaped with slight injuries. Eight persons were killed and a dozen injured when train No. 95, known as the "Dixie Flyer." on the Atlantic Coast line, running between Chicago and Jacksonville, Fla., went through the trestle over the Alapaha river, eighteen miles east of Tifton, Ga. Six Milwaukee fire fighters are dead, four others probably fatally injured and several others suffering from more or less serious injuries as the result of the caving in of the roof of the building of the Middleton Manufacturing company, wholesale hatters. A severe electrical storm, accompanied by a high wind which at times blew with cyclonic force, swept over the northern section of Philadelphia, killing one man and causing great property damage. The Leavenworth county (Kan.) courthouse has been burned to the ground. Valuable records and documents were destroyed, bringing the loss up to nearly $1,000,000. After rescuing his wife and one child from their blazing home Dr. D. E. Morris of Aurora, Mo., plunged back into the flames and died with his four other children. FOREIGN NEWS. On intimations direct from Francisco I. Madero, insurrecto leader, it is given out in insurrecto circles at El Paso that the selection of President Dias' new cabinet, in so far as has been given out, is regarded as entirely unfriendly to the reforms for which the Mexican insurrection is being waged and, as a consequence, the war will go on uninterrupted. The Mexican troops that garrison Juarez are showing renewed activity. More sandbags were piled along the edges of the flat roofs, to be used as breastworks in case of attack, special buildings given the municipal buildings on the plaza, which now afford ample protection against anything arent artillery fire. China is not prepared to antagonize Russia and following prolonged conferences the Chinese foreign office assured the Russian minister, M. Korostevets, that China will acquiesce unreservedly to the demands made in the Russian ultimatum concerning the provisions of the treaty of 1881. The Mexican cabinet resigned in a body at a special meeting. The reason given for the action in an official announcement is the belief that it will contribute to the re-establishment of peace and facilitate the reforms which are in contemplation. Coincident with the official announcement of a new Dias cabinet in Mexico came that of the appointment of Manuel de Zacamacona E Inclan as ambassador to the United States, succeeding Francisco Leon de la Barra. Thirty-six rebels and eight federalers are dead as the result of a nine-hour battle at La Colorado, south of Hermosillo, Mex. The rebels had possession of the town but after hard fighting were driven out. Resolutions for impeachment of the Japanese cabinet for "humiliating" the empire in the negotiation of the new treaty with the United States were rejected by the lower house of the diet. Fire broke out in the custom house at Buenos Ayres, Argentina, and, making its way through the store houses uncontrolled, destroyed merchant valed at $80,000. President Taft had a cordial interview with the Japanese ambassador, Baron Uchida. The president sent for the baron to felicitate with him upon the ratification of the new treaty between this country and Japan. President Taft expressed pleasure at the opportunity to set at rest the stories which have been published during the last two weeks that back of the administration's action in sending troops to the Mexican border was a motive of precaution against some treacherous act by Japan. Robert Bacon, American ambassador to France, had an interview with President Taft and, later, was a luncheon guest at the White House. His visit was given an additional interest at this time owing to the fact that there is a general belief here that negotiations soon may be opened between the United States and France looking to the adoption of an arbitration treaty similar to the one that has been proposed between the United States and Great Britain. In his speech before the City club at Los Angeles, Cal., former President Roosevelt declared in favor of the recall of judges in California, reiterating his statement made at Phoenix, Ariz., in which he said that in his judgment the recall of judges should not be adopted until by actual experiment the people were driven to it as a necessary but regrettable method of doing away with some worse evil. England will confer an unusual honor upon an American woman this week, when Mrs. Lewis Harcourt, a niece of J. Piercer Morgan, will LADY HARCOURT. christen the monster dreadnaught Monarch. Mrs. Harcourt is the wife of the secretary of state for the colonies. Attorneys for George B. Cox, the Cincinnati boss, won a complete victory in a fight that has been waged in three courts in that city for several days when the circuit court temporarily enjoined Judge Frank M. Gorman of the criminal branch of the common pleas court from proceeding in trying Cox on the charge of perjury. From sources close to the president it is learned that the pardon appeals of the two convicted bankers, Charles W. Morse of New York and John R. Walsh of Chicago, undoubtedly will be denied. It is stated that the attorney general's recommendations in both cases is adverse and that the president will follow its findings. Jack Johnson, champion heavyweightuglist of the world,who was sentenced at San Francisco to twenty-five days in the county jail upon pleading guilty in the police court to the charge of violating the automobile speed ordinance,was released on $500 cash ball after spending several hours in jail. The condition of former Mayor Tom L. Johnson of Cleveland, who suffered a serious relapse about two weeks ago but later rallied, is considerably worse. THE DEATH RECORD. Professor Henry Mitchell Whitney is dead of heart failure at New Haven, Conn. He was the last of four brothers, of whom the other three were Professor William Dwight Whitney, the Yale philologist; Professor Josiah Dwight Whitney, the Harvard geologist, and James Lyman Whitney, for some years head of Boston public library. Dr. Edward F. Ashley, a bacteriologist, died on Swinburne island, in New York harbor, a martyr to his fight against the entry of cerebro spinal meningitis through infected Greek immigrants. Dr. Ashley became inoculated in handling the cases and died of the disease. James Jack, treasurer of Utah for twenty years and treasurer of the Mormon church for more than fifty years, is dead at Salt Lake City of old age. He was eighty-two years old. POLITICAL NEWS. The second Democratic legislative caucus in New York state failed to select a candidate for United States senator. Twenty-five candidates were voted for, William F. Sheehan leading with a vote of 26, less than a third of those taking part. After a prolonged debate the Iowa state senate, by a vote of 27 to 21, defeated the Allen bill giving women suffrage at all elections in Iowa. TWIN CITY STAR CRIMINAL NEWS. The indicted Chicago packers lost their fight against going on trial on the indictment secured by the government several months ago when Judge Carpenter, in the United States district court at Chicago, overruled their demurrer to the charges and held that the immunity granted by Judge Humphrey of the federal circuit court in 1906 did not apply to the present charges, which, he held, were based on evidence not included in the Humphrey decision. William P. Harrison, millionaire head of the World Manufacturing company and several subsidiary concerns, was found guilty in the United States court at Cincinnati of using the mails to defraud. The conviction is one of the first growing out of recent raids made by Postmaster General Hitchcock in connection with the department of justice in an effort to break up fraudulent concerns. Out of the tangle of financial transactions which were first made known by the collapse of Joseph G. Robin's chain of banks in New York city, ruined by skyrocket financiering, the grand jury drew the indictment of William J. Cummins, directing head of the Carnegie Trust company, for the alleged larceny of $335,000 from the institution a year ago. For two hours six masked men held St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern passenger train No. 104 at a standstill on the prairie about six miles south of Coffeyville, Kan., while they blew open a safe in the express car and escaped in two automobiles, carrying with them money and valuables which it is believed will amount to $20,000. In a raid on the stock brokerage offices in New York city occupied by Wisner & Co. and the Standard Securities company postoffice inspectors charged that irregularities amounting to more than $2,000,000 had been brought to light. The Bank of Ottawa branch at Kristino, Sask., was robbed of $6,000. No locks were broken. The cash just disappeared. This is the third time similar robberies have occurred in this bank branch. WASHINGTON NEWS. There is no intention on the part of the administration to order the troops now in Texas to cross the Rio Grande river. President Taft has never thought of issuing such an order. The paramount reason for dispatching the troops to Texas was to be ready for any emergency. The entire movement has been precautionary. The president acted solely with a view to protecting the lives of Americans in Mexico and of keeping intact the hundreds of millions of dollars worth of property there owned by United States citizens. Charging the American Federation of Labor with planning to aid the railway mail clerks in circumventing a presidential order Second Assistant Postmaster General Stewart has abandoned his former stand that the department opposed "all secret organizations among its employees" and admitted that objections to the present plan of the clerks to organize were directed solely against the "labor union" phase. At the invitation of President Taft, Baron Uchida, the Japanese ambassador, called at the White House. It is understood the president assured the ambassador that the United States has nothing but the greatest friendship for Japan and that all the reports to the contrary, which have grown out of the Mexican situation are absolutely without foundation. The Democratic organization in the new house of representatives is planning to deal not only with reciprocity but with tariff revision and all other legislation for which there is a popular demand. The word has gone out that all parties concerned should make preparations for a long, arduous session, lasting probably until late in the summer. Magazines and other bulky periodicals after July 1 next will be transported by the postoffice department in carloads as fast freight. LABOR NEWS. The strike against the Adams Express company at New York, which indirectly affected the Wells-Fargo and United States companies, was declared off at a meeting of the strikers.

An audience entirely unworthy in point of numbers was present at the recent notable occasion at the Abysinia Baptist church, New York, when Collector Charles W. Anderson, in behalf of Dr. Booker T. Washington and other leading colored men throughout the country, gave to the great veteran editor, T. Thomas Fortune, $315 as a token of their esteem. The audience was composed almost solely of members of the church, and so comparatively few were they that were not the circumstances explained New York's colored population would appear entirely ungrateful of the friendship and services of the fearless journalist who was largely responsible for the abolition of Jincrow schools in the state and many other civil discriminations. But for some unknown reason the date, place and other features of what was to be New York's tribute to a popular champion were unaccountably withheld from the public. The arrangements for the meeting, it seems, were entirely in the hands of Fred R. Moore of the New York Age, which Mr. Fortune founded and built into its position of power and prominence of a few years ago. Up until within three days of the proposed meeting some of the speakers who were to be—Collector Anderson, Rev R. M. Bolden, James H. Anderson, Wilford H. Smith, Esq, and N. Barnett Dodson—were not even A. H. E. THOMAS FORTUNE asked to participate. But the few people who chanced to read or hear of the meeting were present and by their enthusiasm made up in quality what the meeting lacked in quantity. Names of the Contributors.

One of Race's Bravest Champions. The eloquent New Yorker in presenting the fund said: Ladies and Gentlemen—I regard it as a great privilege permitted to take part in this testimonial to one of the bravest champions the race has ever produced. Mr. T. Thomas Fortune. In this day of many Caesars it is extremely difficult to determine precisely what measure should be rendered unto each of them, but many excellent journalists no voice has rung louder or truer for the past—well, won't say how many years—than the voice of him whom we greet tonight. He has won a place more prominent and more enduring in the hearts of our men and in our hearts. He has wielded a pen during our generation, and he has won it by his loyalty, his dogged determination, his unconquerable grit and his rare and extraordinary capacity to face hostility and even hatred in defense of our rights. He has been given offices of honor and eminence in recognition of their services to their race and party, he has had to be content with thanks—"thanks, the exchequer of the poor"—but through it all he has remained a force which had to be reckoned with. He has been bending for right and justice. Think of him what you will, you must concede that among the pale shadows that ordinarily fit across the stage of our public life Tom Fortune is a solid and vigorous personality. Of course he is no saint nor has he been a saint. He is and always has been thoroughly genuine and wholly without artifice or sham. He hates peace. His God is the God of battle, and he appears to see him only in the avalanche and seems to hear him only in the thunder. He is a militant man, but his friends love to feel that if he strikes hard blows they are fair ones and are always or almost always struck in response to burning sympathy and intense convulsion that the rule of civil served when she is served by such a man. Our great leader, Dr. Booker T. Washington, with that considerate kindness which is his, invited a few of Mr. Fortune's old friends to make a small contribution toward a fund for the purchase of some token that would express our regard for him, but it was subsequently decided that it would be better to present him the conventional but useless hand and the pleasant duty of presenting that purse has been assigned to me. I therefore present this purse of $315 to Mr. T. Thomas Fortune as a slight token of the high esteem in which he is held by the race and wish him health and happiness until the arrival of that day, which I hope is far distant, when he shall put aside his armor and surrender his pen to younger hands. And when his work is all completed, he will be able to firmly believe that his spirit will still survive to guide the younger men and that the path he has blessed will be broad and straight for the march of younger feet. Mr. Fortune was much moved by the presentation and flattering eulogy of the speakers and contributors and expressed his thanks to them as well as to the subscribers of the testimonial. Of Dr. Washington he said that he was in nowise surprised that he had undertaken the subscription, as it was not in his nature to do other than generously and magnanimously to those who had served, as he thought, his race worthily. The personal relations and close friendship which had existed for two decades between Mr. Washington and himself, he commented, had been one of the most helpful and notable in the history of the Afro-American people and was one of the happiest experiences of his life. Mr. Fortune Makes Statement. Mr. Fortune authorized the following statement in regard to the meeting: Mr. Fortune, who had refused to have anything to say one way or another as to the propriety of asking for a testimonial, declaring that he was willing to leave the responsibility for it to Dr. Washington, erating with him, objected to the manner and time of holding the testimonial presentation in New York, which was in the hands of Fred R. Moore of the New York Age. Mr. Fortune based his objection to the manner of making the testimonial a testament to the ground that proper advertisement of the gathering had not been made to insure a representative appreciation by New Yorkers of Mr. Fortune and his work of thirty years in New York, the notice having been made and speakers asked to tithe all within five days of the date of meeting. At a meeting held at the law offices of Wilford H. Smith, 159 Nassau street, at which Mr. Smith, Mr. Moore, Hon. Charles W. Anderson and Mr. Fortune were present. Mr. Fortune stated his objection. After the matter was thinned out by all concerned Mr. Fortune agreed to attend the meeting on the ground solely that he did not wish to embarrass those who might attend the meeting on the strength of such notice as had been made of it. Dr. Washington Pays Tribute. Dr. Washington, who was unable to be present in the city at the meeting, sent the following letter to Collector Anderson: My Dear Mr. Anderson-Inclosed I send you New York draft for $200, together with the names of the contributors toward the T. Thomas Fortune testimonial fund. It was thoroughly understood by the donors and all concerned that this money is given not because of its intrinsic value to Mr. Fortune, but simply as an indication of his long and hard service in behalf of the progress of the race. No one was asked to make a large contribution. Veteran Guards' Second Anniversary. The event in military circles in Brooklyn for the week ending March 18 was the second military entertainment and dance of Company A, veteran guards, held at the company's headquarters in Herkimer street. The guard made a fine showing, and their appearance in the grand march with full regalia created much enthusiasm Lieutenant Denton and Captain Manning with their associates composed the committee of arrangements. No Color Line Drawn at Cornell. Mrs. Gertrude Marton, matron in charge at Cornell university and head of Sage college, denies the allegations of James B. Clarke that colored girls are discriminated against by the other students at the university. "It is not true that we have placed a ban on colored girls at Sage college, and there is no color line drawn at Cornell university," she says. Thousands For Kansas University. The Kansas legislature has appropriated $105,606 for the Western university at Quindale. Professor H. T. Kealing, editor of the African Methodist Episcopal Church Review, is the president of the university. Six thousand dollars were also allowed the Douglass hospital at Kansas City, an institution which was founded by the late Bishop Grant. Mme. L. C.

He played with such stars as Clarence and Geo. Williams, Selden, Shep Trusty, Grant and Boyd. He was manager of the Monarchs of Boston, and recognized by the press as an authority on athletics. He held the 10 seconds running record at one time, and his work on the gridiron was highly commended. "He was charitable to a fault, and no one came to him to be refused. Of a frank and generous nature Mr. Jupiter made friends everywhere he went, and his reputation as an advocate for clean sport was country-wide." His funeral was well attended. Floral tributes were numerous. He was born in Geneva, N. Y.—The Boston Guardian. Railroad men will find it convenient to visit the Porters' and Walters' Hotel, 319 Wabasha St., St. Paul.

TWIN CITY STAR BAPTIST SCHOOL OF HIGH IDEALS MECCA FOR WINTER TOURISTS Under the Able and Effective Leadership of President N. W. Collier the Institution Has Steadily Grown in Influence and Usefulness—Denominational Lines May Be Eliminated. By GEORGE FRANCIS KING. Jacksonville, Fla.—The Florida Baptist academy is a splendid tribute to the energy and thriftiness of Afro-Americans. The growth of the institution, with its plant and equipment, which is conservatively estimated at $75,000, is largely due to the exceptional qualifications of its honored president, Professor N. W. Collier. By diligence and strict attention to the many duties which devolve upon him as the directing head of the school Mr. Collier has won many friends for the school. The school is fortunate in being located in a picturesque section of the city. As Florida may justly be called the gateway to the tourist section of the south, any number of prominent educators and travelers from the north visit the academy on their annual pilgrimages to this section during the winter season. The remarkable progress of the school has elicited the highest commendation from those visiting it, from ex-President Roosevelt down to the careworn veteran of the civil war from the north. People who are prominent in the educational realm admit that this work is absolutely imperative to conserve the forces of the young people, especially in Florida, if they are to become citizens of the highest ideals. The atmosphere within a radius of a mile of the academy reminds one of being near an educational movement effectively molding lives for an erand through life that does not blight A. E. PRESIDENT N. W. COLLIER. The activity of the student body, actuated by the strong Christian environment and principles, the basis of work of renown, is forcefully evidenced in the life of Jacksonville. The graduates engaged in professions, commerce and trades are highly successful and are conspicuous in their respective communities because of their character for good and thorough preparation for a life of productive work. The broadness of the president is exemplified in the faculty being members of various denominations and the student body being the same. Plans are now being carefully considered where the scope of the school will be such that the denominational phase, as it is believed by some to be only for those of the Baptist inclination, will interest people of all denominations. It is now largely upon this scale. Because of such ennobling ideas permeating the entire faculty and officiary and the high standard of proficiency of those identified with the academy the growth has been so steady and assuring of the need of such a movement in Florida that these exigencies require a large brick building at once. A feature that is very helpful to the boys is the military regulations of the school. The girls indulge in all healthy gymnastic exercises, and student life upon this campus invigorates the most stupid fellow and gives him a broader conception of the possibilities of becoming a desirable factor in working out honestly the problems of life. Miss S. A. B. Blocker, Professor Collier's assistant, is a modern Ruth. Without this modest Christian and businesslike woman the institution would be shorn of much of the whole some influence which it possesses. How Governor Dix Can Make Good. If the administration of Governor John A. Dix of New York can be credited with an Afro-American battalion he will be regarded as a true friend of the race, says the Brooklyn Eye. If this is done the thousands of votes which Afro-Americans cast for him last fall will not have been deposited in vain. SUNDAY SCHOOL SUNDAY SCHOOL Lesson XIII.—First Quarter, For March 26, 1911. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, a Comprehensive Quarterly Review—Golden Text, Peckvill, 15—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. LESSON I.—The kingdom divided, I Kings xli, 6-16. Golden Text, Prov. xlii, 20, "He that walketh with wise men shall be wise, but a companion of fools shall be destroyed." The kingdom was divided because of Solomon's sins (chapta xl, 11), but shall in due time be reunited as the Lord has purposed (Ezek. xxxvll, 21, 22). Back of and through and controlling and overruling all the actions of all men, good and bad, we must always see God. Lesson II -Jeroboam makes idols for Israel to worship, I Kings xl, 25-38. Golden Text, Ex. xx, 4, "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image." Although Jeroboam was well aware that the Lord had given him these ten tribes and would on condition of obedience establish his kingdom (xl, 31-38), he could not trust God, who had been so kind to him, but deliberately listened to and acted upon the advice of the devil and worshiped him. Lesson III -Aasa's good reign in Judah, II Chron. xv, 1-15. Golden Text, II Chron. xv, 7, "Be ye strong therefore and let not your hands be weak, for your work shall be rewarded." How refreshing to find a man on whose behalf the Lord can show Himself strong (xlv, 9). He is still looking for such. The words that help me most in this lesson are xiv, 11, with the verse just quoted and xv, 15, seeing and resting in the Lord alone. LESSON IV.—Omiri and Ahab lead Israel into greater sin, I Kings xvi, 23-38. Golden Text, Prov. xiv, 84, "Righteousness exalteth a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people." The statements concerning these two are that they each did worse in the eyes of the Lord than any that were before them (verses 25, 33). It would be difficult to find two men more given over to the devil than these two. LESSON V.—Johoshaphat's good reign in Judah, II Chron. xvil, 1-18. Golden Text, Matt. vl. 83, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you." I am much helped by the prayer of this good king and by the words: "In thine hand is power and might. We have no might, neither know we what to do, but our eyes are upon Thee." LESSON VI.—Elijah the prophet appears in Israel, I Kings xvii, 1-16. Golden Text, Ps. xxxiv, 10, "They that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing." Now we see one of the grandest men that ever lived and yet a man of like passions with us (Jas. v, 17). His great word is, "The Lord God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand" (xvii, 1; xviii, 15). They are the first words we ever hear from him. Now the Lord's special care of him at Cherith and Zarephath. LESSON VII.—Elijah's victory over the prophets of Baal, I Kings xvii, 25-39. Golden Text, Josh. xxiv, 15, "Choose you this day whom ye will serve." See 850 men against one man, but God was with the one man and against the 880, and a half minute prayer to the living and true God accomplished what an all day crying and pleading of the 850 could not. LESSON VIII.—Elijah's flight and return, I Kings xix, 1-16, Golden Text, Isa. xl, 31, "They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength." In this lesson we see the weakness of one of the best of God's servants, who was not afraid of Ahab nor of 850 false prophets, but who ran for his life because of the threat of a wicked woman. Note the angel's ministry and the patience and loving kindness of God. LESSON IX.—Elijah meets Ahab in Naboth's vineyard, I Kings xxi, 11-20, Golden Text, Luke xli, 15, "Take heed and beware of covetousness." How selfish and cruel are people apt to be who live wholly unto themselves! They must have their way at any cost, no matter who may have to suffer or even die. But there will be a reckoning, and the Judge of all the earth will do right The Lord Jesus said, "Fear not them which kill the body." LESSON X.—Ellisha goes up by a whirlwind into heaven. II Kings lv, 1-18 Golden Text, Gen. v, 24. "Bnoch walked with God, and he was not, for God took him." The man who wanted to die never did die. So it may be with some of us (I Cor. xv, 51). The other notable features of this lesson are the devotion of Elisha to Elijah and his earnest desire for a double portion of his spirit. Note "They two went on." LESSON XL.—Ellisha the prophet restores a child to life, II Kings iv, 25-37. Golden Text, Rom. vl, 23. "The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." The woman who entertained Elisha did not entertain an angel, but one to whom angels ministered and who knew the Lord, and thus she ministered to the Lord Himself (Matt. x, 40, 41), who rewarded her with a son and also gave him back to her from the dead. LESSON KII.-Defeat through drunkenness, I Kings xx, 12-21. Golden Text, Prov xxxl, 4. "It is not for kings to drink wine nor for princes strong drink." We might associate with this lesson the drunken feast of Belshazzar and his lords and also the birthday party of Herod, all ending with death. Let us note verses 13, 28, and the Lord's desire that Ahab and we and all others might know Him. EASTER HATS $2.00 LATEST STYLE Sanborn & Alden EASTER HATS $2.50 BEST QUALITY 7 SO.

Room 1006 Torrey Bldg. General Representative "Head of Lakes", Duluth, Minn. The Civic Celebration is under way. Clean up the City of Minneapolis. THE REASON WHY we were forced to suspend this publication was on account of a fire in the Nygren Printing Co., where The Star is published. Hereafter we hope to issue regularly and thank our subscribers for their "wishes for the continuance of this paper." In spite of many reverses we have proven that the Twin City Star can "come back." They say that the testimonial to Editor Fortune at New York was a frost. The reception to Editor Adams (The Appeal Quarto Centennial) was the hottest thing that ever happened in the Twin Cities. A WASTE OF ENERGY. A bill for an act to amend section 2812, chapter 55, Revised Laws 1905, relating to hotels and public resorts. Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Minnesota: N. B.—Amendments in parentheses. Section 1. That section 2812 of chapter 55, Revised Laws of Minnesota, 1905, be and the same is hereby amended so as to read as follows: Section 2. No person shall be excluded, on account of race, color (or previous condition), from full and equal enjoyment of any accommodation advantage, (facility,) or privilege furnished by public conveyances, (common carriers), theatres or other public places of amusement or by hotels, barber shops, saloons, (ice cream parlors, soda water fountains), restaurants or other public places of refreshments, entertainment or accommodation. Every person, who violates any provision of this act or aids or incites another to do so, shall be guilty of a gross misdemeanor, and in addition to the penalty therefor, shall be liable in a civil action to the person aggrieved for damages not exceeding five hundred ($500) dollars. Section 3. This act shall take effect and be in force from and after its passage. After having been killed in the committee room, the amendment to the Civic Rights Bill has been resurrected, on account of the activity of a committee of citizens, who are urged on by those who think they see some political advantage to be gained by its passage. Section 2812 of the Revised Laws of 1905 covers the subjects as thoroughly as it needs to be so far as the written law is concerned, and it was a waste of time and energy to have this amendment introduced. This is no time to jeopardize the Race by tantalizing the Legislature with useless and needless amendments which draw attention to the Negro. We have plenty of law in Minnesota and we are protected so far as the law is concerned. The better plan is to save our energy, out time, our talent and our funds to resist the passage of adverse laws that may be introduced by the other fellow. It is unwise, to say the least, to needlessly agitate race antipathy. The STAR hopes that those who are responsible for the amendment will think twice before they attempt their next great work in the interest of the Race, and to give one thought to the fact that an amendment increasing the minimum liabilities, from the present 1 cent to $25, would be upward revision and effective legislation. Stewart Gets Liberian Judgeship. Friends of Counselor T. McCants Stewart in the United States, especially those in South Carolina and New York, will doubtless be glad to know that the brilliant Brooklyn lawyer has recently been appointed judge, of the supreme court of the Liberian republic. Mr. Stewart left Brooklyn for Honolulu about a dozen years ago, where he became widely known as a barrister of rare ability. From the Hawaiian Islands Mr. Stewart went to Montserrado county, Liberia. In 1907 he was instrumental in organizing the Liberian National Bar association. Mr. Stewart was a member of the board of education in Brooklyn under the regime of Mayor Chapin. He was succeeded in that body by the late Samuel R. Scottron. The assault on Dr. Washington has caused his political enemies to show their hands, and many held four flushes. Editor Lawrence of "The Weekly Visitor" deserves credit for the pub. of "The contribution of the Negro race of America to its Civilization," by Atty. B. S. Smith, of Minneapolis, which was delivered before a class of students at the University of Minnesota. The address is both interesting and instructive, and shows the results of historical and statistical research. We are assured that the eloquence of the learned attorney added much force to his remarks. We quote the following extracts: "Without the negro John Brown could not have shown the world that "one drop of humanity makes all men kin:" his absence from the Republic and the world would not have known Abraham Lincoln, the power of his intellect, the tenderness of his heart nor the sweetness of his soul; without him there would have been no Gettysburg, no Grant, no Lee, no Appomattox. Harriet Beecher Stowe could not have shown the world by drama, the slightest inkling of the crime of slavery; the great Sumner could not have shown the world his unbounded love for humanity, nor would we have learned the Golden Rule from Garrison and Phillips' without him. Douglass could not have demonstrated there was eloquence in the negro race, nor Toussaint L'ouverture that he is brave and possesses the innate powers of statesmanship. Booker T. Washington could not have demonstrated his constructive and executive powers, nor could that fearless champion and scholar, W. E. B. DuBois, have shown that he is capable of the highest intellectual development—that his ideals are those of the most advanced races' and that he will be content with nothing short of full manhood rights and privileges wheresoever he may dwell. BE SURE YOU'RE WANTED, THEN GIVE YOUR ORDER, is a good motto to observe when you wish service in the big stores and hotels, etc. If you are not given due attention, retire gracefully and in good order. Keep your money and control your temper. Otherwise you may attempt to force matters and be arrested for disorderly conduct, or presuming that you are a "fresh one" they may serve you with a "salted sandwich." Then it is your privilege to enter civil proceedings, and you may get a judgment for damages for the amount of 1 cent, the sum allowed a celebrated lawyer and framer of civil rights statutes. VOTES FOR WOMEN. I want to vote very much, and if I could I should. Isn't it absurd that the women who have fed the babies should not be allowed to vote on measures to bring about clean milk for them because by some tradition of the prehistoric age men have done the voting? Industrial questions, such as the minimum wage, are matters of which women know quite as much as men-Jane Addams. BETTER POLITICS. Something can be done by good laws, more can be done by honest administration of the laws, but most of all can be done by frowning resolutely on the preachers of vague discontent. In our political and social life alike, in order permanently to succeed, we must base our conduct on the Decalogue and the Golden Rule. Quack remedies of the universal cure-all type are generally as noxious to the body politic as to the body corporal. We must do our duty by the state. We must frown down dishonesty and corruption and war for honesty and righteousness—Theodore Roosevelt. CONTENTMENT. One contented with what he has done stands but small chance of becoming famous for what he will do. He has lain down to die. The grass is already growing over him.—Bovee. CLIMBING. St. Augustine, well hast thou said That of our vices we can frame A ladder if we will but tread Beneath our feet each deed of shame. The heights by great men reached and kept Were not attained by sudden flight. But they while their companions slept Were tolling upward in the night. —Longfellow. ST. PETERS A. M. E.
