MISS M. J. HICKS, PROP. MRS. GEORGE W. CLINTON. Interesting Story of the Buuy Life of a Bishop's Wife. Charlotte, N. C.-To enter fully into the affairs of one's husband to the extent that he will be inspired and benefited by such evidence of devotion is concretely displayed in the life of one of the leading women of the race in the person of Mrs. George W. Clinton, the talented wife of Right Rev. George W. Clinton, D. D. She is a model for the young women of the race in that she is sacredly devoted to the duties of home and in work for the uplift of the young. The education received by this accomplished woman at the Central Alabama academy and at Clark university, where she graduated with honors, has prepared for the race the kind of woman that is needed to help develop the young women of the race and contribute to the forward movements for the uplift of humanity. The influence of Mrs. Clinton was disseminated in her native state as a pedagogue soon after completing her education. She is known throughout Alabama as one of the race's best educators. While attending Clark university her rich voice attracted those of the MRS. GEORGE W. CLINTON. institution especially interested in vocal culture and became the cynosure of the eyes of the music lovers of Atlanta because of the training received at this school, which developed a high soprano voice. She filled her engagements so creditably that she soon was sought to join professionals, finally becoming a member of the renowned Loudin Fisk jubilee singers. She gained an enviable reputation for herself. Today wherever a conference is held or any musical of especial note is given in the city of Charlotte, N. C., she is the leading character. When the bishop is in his office Mrs. Clinton spends some time with him. She is in touch with every department of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion church. She is eminently qualified to fill the positions of a number of general officers of her church at the conferences of the bishop. She often represents at one conference the following boards: Church extension, general fund, benevolence, mission and general treasurer. The Buds of Promise of the A. M. Z. E. church is a beneficial movement, when the scope of the work is considered. The tenets of the church are taught the children, and a conception of living a life of service is given them in a practical manner. This juvenile society throughout the connection is superintended by Mrs. Clinton, who is loved by the children as well as the adults of the church. The Women's Federation of Clubs in North Carolina is doing a work that is farreaching, with Mrs. Clinton as president. THRIFTY ORGANIZATION. Annual Meeting of Society of Virginiaans Shows Large Results. The annual business and social meeting of the Ladies' auxiliary of the Society of the Sons of Virginia recently held in Granada hall, Brooklyn, was attended by an unusually large number of members and visitors. Mrs. Jenie Stewart, who has been re-elected for the fourth year as president, is rejoicing over the near accomplishment of the standard to which she has been earnestly working—that is, to increase the membership to 100 and the bank account of the organization to $1,000 during her administration. The annual reports revealed the fact that the membership is 104 and the treasury has $995.00 to the credit of the society. The social features of the meeting were greatly enjoyed after the installation of the following officers by the Rev. Dr. William M. Moss: Mrs. Jennie Stewart, president; Isabelle Quarles, vice president; Mrs. Polly Pass, recording secretary; Mrs. Arthur Q. Martin, assistant recording secretary; Miss Cora Robinson, financial secretary; Mrs. C. H. Turfer, assistant financial secretary; Mrs. Annie Durrell, treasurer. Subscribe to the Star. INNOCENT OF THE EDMONTON CRIME—CONFESSED SHE GAGGED HERSELF. Edmonton, April 13.—Fifteen-year-old Hazel Huff, who figured in the negro assault case here last week, has confessed to the police that she bound and gagged herself to hide the loss of her ring and money. Wild excitement reigned here last Tuesday night, when neighbors found her in the kitchen of her home on Sixth street supposedly bound, gagged and chloroformed. She told a story of assault committed by a black, burly negro. The police arrested a colored man, named J. F. Wiltsue, but allowed him to go, as there was no case against him. Upon investigation it was learned that nothing was stolen from the house, that there were no bruises or injuries on the girl from the alleged assault, but that she had lost a ring and some money, which loss she feared would bring reprimand and rebuke from her parents. She thought out the scheme of binding her hands and slipping a handkerchief around her mouth, but made the error of tying an eye bandage over her forehead instead of her eyes. This fact aroused the suspicion of the police, and when openly charged with doing the deed herself she confessed.—The Lethbridge Daily Herald. This happened in Canada, where blacks and whites are settling from the Southland, and it shows that the whites have not forgotten or forsaken their native customs, are are infusing among the Canadians, a spirit of race hatred and prejudice. This girl (evidently a Southerner) knew that in the South, to accuse a big, bury, Negro of a crime, was evidence of his guilt, or if a native, she had heard of, or read the stories of lynching, and had become familiar with Southern conditions. Although wild excitement reigned and a Negro was arrested. He was released—not riddled with bullets. There was no case against him, simply because a white woman accused him. Upon investigation it was found that this, sion of the deplied element of a superior race, had maliciously lied. Such lies told in the Southland, have caused the wholesale butchery of innocent families by those hot-headed hell hounds, who never investigate, assuming that the Negro has no rights that they should respect—who administer Southern justice with ropes and fire-brands, and they are protected under the Constitution of the United States, of which it has been truly said, that it is "an intercourse with hell and a colleague of the devil." We are glad to reproduce above article. The Canadian journals will state the facts, and when such happenings are given wide publicity, conditions will be better for Negroes, public opinion will be changed, and the greater part of those who are now against us will be for us—realizing that as a race we are more "sinned against than sinning."

Stoddard, one of Marshall's finds, pitched good ball the last two innings and Werden's team put up a splendid game but could not stop the Gophers. Rhodes and Hodgins worked together in fine shape. Selden's home run and Marshall's three-bagger were the batting features of the game. The Gophers will play at La Crosse on April 29 and 30 and will play Wausau on May 6 and 7. Teams desiring games with the Gophers should address 1020 Metropolitan Life building. The score by innings: R. H. E.

C.-To enter fully into the affairs of one's husband to the extent that he will be inspired and benefitted by such evidence of devotion is concretely displayed in the life of one of the leading women of the race in the person of Mrs. George W. Clinton, the talented wife of Right Rev. George W. Clinton, D. D. She is a model for the young women of the race in that she is sacredly devoted to the duties of home and in work for the uplift of the young. The education received by this accomplished woman at the Central Alabama academy and at Clark university, where she graduated with honors, has prepared for the race the kind of woman that is needed to help develop the young women of the race and contribute to the forward movements for the uplift of humanity. The influence of Mrs. Clinton was disseminated in her native state as a pedagogue soon after completing her education. She is known throughout Alabama as one of the race's best educators. While attending Clark university her rich voice attracted those of the MRS. GEORGE W. CLINTON. institution especially interested in vocal culture and became the cynosure of the eyes of the music lovers of Atlanta because of the training received at this school, which developed a high soprano voice. She filled her engagements so creditably that she soon was sought to join professionals, finally becoming a member of the renowned Loudin Fisk jubilee singers. She gained an enviable reputation for herself. Today wherever a conference is held or any musical of especial note is given in the city of Charlotte, N. C., she is the leading character. When the bishop is in his office Mrs. Clinton spends some time with him. She is in touch with every department of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion church. She is eminently qualified to fill the positions of a number of general of fcers of her church at the conferences of the bishop. She often represents at one conference the following boards Church extension, general fund, benevolence, mission and general treasurer. The Buds of Promise of the A. M. Z. E. church is a beneficial movement when the scope of the work is considered. The tenets of the church are taught the children, and a conception of living a life of service is given them in a practical manner. This juvenile society throughout the connection is superintended by Mrs. Clinton, who is loved by the children as well as the adults of the church. The Women's Federation of Clubs in North Carolina is doing a work that is farreaching, with Mrs. Clinton as president. THRIFTY ORGANIZATION. Annual Meeting of Society of Virginians Shows Large Results. The annual business and social meeting of the Ladies' auxiliary of the Society of the Sons of Virginia recently held in Granada hall, Brooklyn, was attended by an unusually large number of members and visitors. Mrs. Jennie Stewart, who has been re-elected for the fourth year as president, is rejoicing over the near accomplishment of the standard to which she has been earnestly working—that is, to increase the membership to 100 and the bank account of the organization to $1,000 during her administration. The annual reports revealed the fact that the membership is 104 and the treasury has $905.00 to the credit of the society. The social features of the meeting were greatly enjoyed after the installation of the following officers by the Rev. Dr. William M. Moss: Mrs. Jennie Stewart, president; Isabelle Quarles, vice president; Mrs. Polly Pass, recording secretary; Mrs. Arthur Q. Martin, assistant recording secretary; Miss Cora Robinson, financial secretary; Mrs. C. H. Turder, assistant financial secretary; Mrs. Annie Durrell treasurer. Subscribe to the Star. INNOCENT OF THE EDMONTON CRIME—CONFESSED SHE GAGGED HERSELF. Edmonton, April 13.—Fifteen-year-old Hazel Huff, who figured in the negro assault case here last week, has confessed to the police that she bound and gagged herself to hide the loss of her ring and money. Wild excitement reigned here last Tuesday night, when neighbors found her in the kitchen of her home on Sixth street supposedly bound, gagged and chloroformed. She told a story of assault committed by a black, burly negro. The police arrested a colored man, named J. F. Wiltsue, but allowed him to go, as there was no case against him. Upon investigation it was learned that nothing was stolen from the house, that there were no bruises or injuries on the girl from the alleged assault, but that she had lost a ring and some money, which loss she feared would bring reprimand and rebuke from her parents. She thought out the scheme of binding her hands and slipping a handkerchief around her mouth, but made the error of tying an eye bandage over her forehead instead of her eyes. This fact aroused the suspicion of the police, and when openly charged with doing the deed herself she confessed.—The Lethbridge Daily Herald. This happened in Canada, where blacks and whites are settling from the Southland, and it shows that the whites have not forgotten or forsaken their native customs, are are infusing among the Canadians, a spirit of race hatred and prejudice. This girl (evidently a Southerner) knew that in the South, to accuse a big, bury, Negro of a crime, was evidence of his guilt, or if a native, she had heard of, or read the stories of lynching, and had become familiar with Southern conditions. Although wild excitement reigned and a Negro was arrested. He was released—not riddled with bullets. There was no case against him, simply because a white woman accused him. Upon investigation it was found that this, scion of the despised element of a superior race, had maliciously lied. Such lies told in the Southland, have caused the wholesale butchery of innocent families by those hot-headed hell hounds, who never investigate, assuming that the Negro has no rights that they should respect—who administer Southern justice with ropes and fire-brands, and they are protected under the Constitution of the United States, of which it has been truly said, that it is "an intercourse with hell and a colleague of the devil." We are glad to reproduce above article. The Canadian journals will state the facts, and when such happenings are given wide publicity, conditions will be better for Negroes, public opinion will be changed, and the greater part of those who are now against us will be for us—realizing that as a race we are more "sinned against than sinning."

NEWS OF WORLD Important Events of the Week in Condensed Form. CONGRESSIONAL DOINGS President Taft's Canadian reciprocity pact, supported by all but a handful of Democrats and opposed by a majority of the Republicans, passed the house of representatives by a vote of 265 to 89. The bill seeks to put into effect the agreement reached between President Taft and members of the Canadian cabinet for a reduction of tariff rates on many articles and free trade in many others across the Canadian border. Added to it by the Democratic leaders is a section which "authorizes and requests" President Taft to make further efforts to secure still freer trade relations with Canada in the form of additional reciprocal relations. Ten Democrats voted against the bill on passage, while 197 Democrats voted for it. As in the case when the bill passed at the preceding session of congress a majority of the Republicans were found against it, the party vote being 67 for and 78 opposed. The senate insurgents and Democrats won a victory by having the resolution for the election of senators by the people referred to the judiciary committee. The standpatters insisted that it should go to the committee on privileges and elections, but they surrendered without demanding a vote. Samuel Gompers and Frank Morrison, president and secretary of the American Federation of Labor, respectively, appeared before the house committee on reform on the civil service in advocacy of the Lloyd bill giving government employees the right to join labor unions. The Canadian reciprocity bill was conveyed from the house to the senate and without comment was referred to the committee on finance. It cannot be taken up until the organization of the committee is completed. Progressive senators were turned down by regulars in the party caucus on committee assignments, the regulars refusing to put La Follette on the interstate commerce committee and Bristow on the finance committee. The Democratic tariff bill, putting agricultural implements, cotton, bagging, leather, boots and shoes, harness, meat, lumber, flour and many other articles on the free list, is under discussion in the house. The United States National Bank of America, to be established in the District of Columbia, with $100,000,000 capital, is provided for in a bill introduced by Representative Fornes of New York. WASHINGTON NEWS. That President Taft is more determined than ever that the United States must not intervene in Mexico became known following a conference between the president and Secretary Knox and a committee from the house of representatives. The president stated that difficulties must arise out of conditions in Mexico because of the proximity of fighting to the American line. "But," he is quoted as saying, "it takes two to make a war." Administration leaders display some concern over the fate of the Canadian trade agreement in the senate. Reports have been made to them that certain of the leaders, notably Senator Crane of Massachusetts, are beginning to show a disposition to place obstacles in the way of the measure. Lauritz S. Swenson of Minnesota has been nominated by the president to be minister to Norway. He is now United States minister to Switzerland. Mr. Swenson will be succeeded at Berne by Henry Sherman Boutell of Illinois. Edwin V. Morgan of New York was named for the Lisbon poet. The diplomatic shakeup which was first evidenced by the resignation of David Jayne Hill as ambassador to Germany continued when it was announced that Herbert H. D. Peirce had resigned as minister to Norway and that in consequence several transfers would be made. Samuel Adams, a Chicago lawyer, will succeed Frank Pierce, resigned, as first assistant secretary of the interior. Mr. Adams was associated with Secretary Fisher when the latter was special traction counsel for Chicago. Frank Pierce, assistant secretary of the interior, has tendered his resignation and it was accepted. FINANCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL Federal Judge Charles E. O. Wolverton, at Portland, Ore., decided that the Southern Pacific and the Oregon and California Railway companies must forfeit to the United States government about 200,000 acres of land, which is valued at $40,000,000 to $75,000,000. The world owes the United States $441,000,000 for food, clothing and raw materials sold abroad. Only once has the balance of trade been higher in favor of this country, according to government figures. That was in 1908, when it was more than $550,000,000. E. H.

After months of investigation, directed by William J. Burns, a private detective, John J. McNamara, international secretary of the Bridge and Structural Iron Workers of America, the headquarters of which are in Indianapolis, was arrested in that city charged with complicity in the dynamiting of the Los Angeles Times Oct. 1, 1910, and the plant of the Llewellyn iron works in the same city. Requisition papers from the governor of California having been signed by Governor Marshall before the arrest McNamara was taken to police headquarters, where he was arraigned immediately before Judge Collins in police court. The requisition was granted and twenty minutes after McNamara had been seized in the association headquarters in the American Central Life building, where a meeting of the executive board of the organization was just adjourning, he was taken from the city by four detectives in an automobile. Although McNamara pleaded in court to be given time to procure an attorney his request was refused by Judge Collins, who maintained after the requisition papers had been signed he could do nothing but permit an officer representing the state of California, who was present at the hearing, to take the prisoner from the city. McNamara's arrest followed the capture at Detroit two weeks ago of Ortie E. McManigal and J. W. McNamara, accused of being the actual dynamiters. The arrest of these men was not made known until J.

Va., the result of all explosion, and little chance is held out for the rescue of any of them alive, because of the tons of debris that have thus far impeded the progress of the rescuers. Four persons, two men and two women, are dead at a St. Louis hospital, making seven deaths in all resulting from an explosion of a tank of gasoline. Six others are seriously burned. Of the dead six resided near where the tank car was standing. TWIN CITY STAR FOREIGN NEWS. An armistice of five days affecting the district between Juarez and Chihuahua, Mex., and west of the latter city was made effective in an exchange of letters signed by General Francisco I.

The latest news received at Tangier, Morocco, regarding the situation at Fez states that Captain Bremond, who is marching at the head of a column to relieve the city, is now in a critical situation. He is short of ammunition and is surrounded by Chereda tribesmen, who, far from being discouraged, have returned to the positions from which they were dislodged a few days ago. Thirty-two persons were killed in the wreck of a passenger train on the Kowie railway in Cape Colony when it plunged to destruction into a gorge 250 feet deep through the collapse of the Blauuwkwantz bridge.

Thirteen indictments, of a total of 110 counts, charging four iron ore carrying railroads entering Cleveland with rebating and alleging that two of the railroads and three individuals were guilty of conspiracy to violate the Elkins law, were returned by the federal grand jury at Cleveland. The railroads are the Pennsylvania company, the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern, the Bessemer and Lake Erie and the New York, Chicago and St. Louis. Dan R. Hanna, son of the late Senator M. A. Hanna and president of the M. A. Hanna Coal company, was one of the individuals indicted. That the recent decision filed in St. Paul by Federal Judge Walter H. Sanborn in the Minnesota rate case, if upheld by the supreme court of the United States, will create a possibility for an astounding increase in railway rates throughout the United States, was the statement made by Samuel O.

POLITICAL CHAT AT THE CAPITAL W. D. Johnson to Conduct Work on Forest Preservation. VERNON UP FOR OFFICE AGAIN Much Speculation as to Whether Ralph W. Tyler Will Succeed Himself as Auditor For Navy Department—Hop W. J. Bryan Delivers Stirring Address Before Y. M. C. A. Washington.—Hon. W. D. Johnson, who was a special agent in the interior department, has been transferred to a special agency in the department of agriculture, which is now connected with the forestry bureau. He will have charge of a campaign of education among the colored people in teaching them all about the important subject of forest preservation. Mr. Johnson is fully qualified to perform his new duties with credit. It is rumored that former Register Vernon will receive some position soon in the nature of a special agency, the duties of which will require his traveling about the country considerably. The mention of the name of Mr. Vernon recalls the fact that but few reappointments have been made by President Taft. For instance, Vernon, who was register of the treasury, failed of reappointment and was succeeded by Napier; Dancy, who was recorder of deeds, failed of reappointment and was succeeded by Henry Lincoln Johnson; Lyons, who was minister to Liberia, failed of reappointment and was succeeded by Crum, and there are several other minor instances. Auditor For the Navy Ralph W. Tyler is the next man whose ralph will soon expire, and attention is now directed as to whether or not he will succeed himself. Although his term does not expire until June, it is known that HON. BALPH W. TYLER. several men of prominence in different parts of the country have been or are thinking of "shying their castors" for this $4,000 per annum position. Tyler is the second colored man to hold this position. John R. Lynch, a former congressman from Mississippi, now a paymaster in the army, was the first. He held the position under the administration of President Harrison. This auditorship is one of the six auditorships that come under the treasury department. Washington has been visited by scores of colored Democrats since the opening of the special session of congress—Ross of New York, Manning of Indiana, Russell of Pennsylvania and other colored Democrats of more or less note. Some of them have their eyes on committee messengerships and other snaps around the capitol. The minority in the house (now the Republicans) will no doubt do all within their power to save as many of the colored employees as possible. However, owing to the big cut in the employees made at the Democratic caucus it is safe to say that a number of the old employees will be cut off the payroll. Banquet to Register J. C. Napier Banquet to Register J. C. Napier. Tennesseeans in Washington are preparing to give a banquet to Hon. James C. Napier, the register of the treasury. Mr. Napier is from Nashville and is well known to all Tennesseeans. His home, where several colored universities are located, has always been recognised as one of the Nashville homes where collegians are always welcome. There is quite a contingent of Tennesseeans here holding government clerkships and prominent in the business and professional life of Washington, and they will give Mr. Napier a hearty welcome. Added to these Tennesseeans are many graduates of such Tennessee schools as Fisk, Mehary, Roger Williams, Walden and other institutions of that state who feel that they owe some loyalty to that state. Hon. William Jennings Bryan, the great Democratic leader, addressed the colored Y. M. C. A. here at one of its Sunday meetings recently in the new Howard theater. The theater was packed to its utmost capacity with an audience made up entirely of men to hear the distinguished Nebraskan. Mr. Bryan was driven to the theater in Dr. Cabaniss' big motor car and was accompanied by the owner of the car. Dr. Cabaniss, a leading colored physician; Mr. Ober of New York, editor of Association Men; Secretary D. Knowles Cooper of the local white Y. M. C. A. and Dr. C. A. Barbour of New York. After a few facetious remarks Mr. Bryan takes in "Civilization" as his ject, declared that his definition of civilization was the harmonious development of man, morally, physically and mentally. In an eloquent address of thirty minutes Mr. Bryan discussed this threefold development of man. Time and again as the "peerless leader" proceeded was he interrupted with applause which lasted until Colonel Bryan raised his hand in protest. Secretary Lewis Johnson of the local polored Y. M. C. A. presided and introduced Mr. Bryan. The other speaker was Rev. C. A. Barbour of New York, a noted Baptist divine. Dr. Barbour's address made a great impression, over fifty men responding to his appeal to them to lead better lives. The Elks' Glee club, under the direction of Lewis Ambler, rendered two selections, while Professor J. Henry Lewis and Professor J. T. Layton led the congregational singing. Great credit is due the Y. M. C. A. managers for the progress of the work. The Sunday meetings are quite a feature of Washington life. They have had in the past and have on their future program some of the best white and colored speakers in the country. Business Interests Consolidated. The managers of the Yonkers Standard and League Journal, edited by Paul H. Bray and Samuel J. Davis, at Yonkers and New Rochelle, N. Y., respectively, have consolidated their business interests and will in the future issue one paper under the name of the Standard Journal. In union there is strength. May the consolidat ed remain solid. COMMON SENSE. Common sense in an uncommon degree is what the world calls wisdom.-Coleridge. Should the Defeated Measure Ever Come Up Again In the House It Will Be the Duty of Colored Americans to Register Their Unqualified Protest Against its Passage. By JOHN E. BRUCE. The proposed amendment to the constitution providing for the election of United States senators by direct vote of the people was "beaten to a frazzle" in the closing hours of the late congress. But the fight for this dangerous measure has not been abandoned. It is therefore incumbent upon Negroes throughout the entire country to be on the alert and to register their protests by letter and by personal interviews with representatives in both branches of congress whenever this resolution is reintroduced, as it certainly will be. Should it prevail the colored man, not the white man, will be the principal sufferer, for it is aimed directly at the former in the southern states, and its purpose is to minimize his influence as a political integer and ultimately to eliminate him from the political equation. The word "people" in the eleven southern states means white people. The election of United States senators from that section by direct vote of the people is not meant to be understood that any considerable part of the black people who constitute the real majority in those states will either be comprehended or counted at such elections. The constitution of the United States speaks in language clear enough on this subject, for it specifically prescribes how senators shall be chosen and makes it plain that if such election of senators is not in conformity with the provisions of the federal constitution "congress may at any time by law make or alter such regulations except as to the place of choosing senators." But the manner of holding such election is written in the constitution, and no other way can be substituted therefor until the repeal of that section of article 1 bearing upon the times, places and manner of holding elections for senators and representatives in congress. It is not in the power of one out of ten, or of 100, or of all the citizens of a state to annul an act of congress, because the constitution of the United States and an act in pursuance of it is a supreme law of that state and binding upon every citizen of that state, and every citizen must act at his peril. The federal constitution therefore is the supreme law of this land. The thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments are equally supreme, because they have been legally incorporated into the body of it and must either be enforced or repealed. Hence there can be no election of United States senators by direct vote of the people until the people repudiate the present law by which United States senators for over a hundred years have been chosen. I for one do not believe that the people are ready to repeal any part of the present constitution, and so have no serious apprehensions with respect to this latest scheme to delegate to the people a power which they wisely delegated to their political leaders when the constitution was ratified and adopted. At the same time we should not forget that "eternal vigilance is the price of liberty" and from this time forth should keep tabs on legislation at Washington and on senators and con- Mme. L. C.

GRANT. The Hero of Appomattox Born April 27, 1885 at Point Pleasant, Ohio. Died, July 23, 1885 at Mt. MacGregor, N. Y. "LET US HAVE PEACE."

Who are the delegates from Minnesota to the National Negro Democratic Convention at Indianapolis next month? Every little movement of the Grand Jury has a meaning—so different from all the rest. Congressman Nye's speech on Canadian Reciprocity cainted a couple of stories, full of Nye humor, which pointed a moral, and kept the House in good humor. Cong. Nye can always be found at the oil barrel when the waters become troublesome. He says, There is a life, a future development of mankind on this continent, that human legislation can not control" and "I do not believe this measure will operate to the detriment of any class or any industry. The policy game was in the shakeup last week, but it continues. Many prominent men of our race in business allow it written in their places, and the supposed best sisters of the churches play it. Our clergymen are the cowards, who sin by silence, when they should lift their voice against it. "The New York Age" and "The Advocate," leading Negro newspapers have recently voiced the sentiment of the better element, who disapprove of corrupt practices. Should the clergy remain silent? It destroys companionship, integrity, and industry, and encourages viciousness, dishonesty, and idleness. We hope to see the time when the possession of a policy slip will insure its holder one year's work in a state institution. J. C. ASBURY TO START NEW ORDER OF ODD FELLOWS. J. C. Asbury, formerly editor of the Odd Fellows' Journal, and defeated candidate for Grand Master of Odd Fellows, which convened in Baltimore, Md., last summer, has organized a new order of Odd Fellows.to be known as the Ancient Order of Odd Fellows of America. The followers of Mr. Asbury, who supported him in Baltimore, declare that he was counted out unfairly, and that they propose to organize a new order. The first meeting looking to the organization was held in Philadelphia, Pa., last month, at which time Mr. Asbury explained to his hearers the aim and object of the new organization. The next meeting will be held by Asbury in Norfolk, Va., this month, and from there he will make a tour of the United States. — "The Echo." WHERE TO TRADE.
