TWENTY-NINTH ANNIVERSARY AND MAY FESTIVAL The twenty-ninth anniversary of Mars Lodge was held at Bowlby Hall on Monday eve last, and was fairly attended. Those present were able to hear the history of the Lodge, which is most interesting and remarkable, from one of its five charter members—Sergt. Z. W. Pope, U. S. A., who is the only living charter member of Mars Lodge. There were at Fort Randall, N. D. 29 years ago, when the 25th Inf. was stationed there, only five Odd Fellows from five different states, who organized a Lodge—under peculiar circumstances, and named it after Mars, the god of war.—Later they received a dispensation and charter and held their meetings in one of the dug-outs used in the Indian Campaign. In 1885 when the regiment was removed to Fort Snelling, many of the residents of St. Paul joined this Lodge, and the members from the fort walked through heavy snow to attend its meetings. This Lodge has the distinction of being the first Lodge that was set up West of the Mississippi, and out of which many others have grown. Sergt. Pope was the guest of honor at this anniversary, and the members of Mars Lodge are proud to have among them a man of such honorable distinction. A paper, read by Mrs. Nellie Taylor, of the Household of Ruth, was especially commendable, giving a brief sketch of the life of Ruth, and the work of the women of the order. Mr. Fred D. Parker, chairman, introduced the speakers, and Atty's McGhee and Francis delivered brief addresses. Refreshments were served, and dancing was kept up till 1 A. M., when the twenty-ninth anniversary of Mars Lodge became history, after the strains of Home sweet home had died away. Mrs. Charles Walker, 696 Caroll St. entertained Mr. and Mrs. R.

Holmes Has Placed the Organization In Position to Regain Much of Its Former Prestige. Management of Old Regime to Be Made Known to the Order. By GEORGE FRANCIS KING. Richmond, Va.-The True Reformers have again been given a chance to fully rehabilitate by the insurance commissioner of this state renewing the license of the organization to do business. There is rejoicing in every state where there is a fountain. After a strenuous period, which revenued the loyalty of the members of the organizations throughout the brotherhood and the splendid spirit of the white people, especially of Virginia, to GRAND MASTER A. W. HOLMES. help the fraternity to "come back," the order will undoubtedly cause a new phase of management of affairs which have made it the cynosure of the conservative element of the race and the business world. Accepting the stupendous task of adjusting the business of the organization to the extent that it would survive the deplorable mismanagement of the past and, finally, through the assistance of thousands of members and W. P. Burrell, who is a recognized authority on insurance matters among our own people, Grand Master A. W. Holmes has ultimately restored the organization to the position where there is a chance of placing it on the same business basis. A number of the members of the board of directors are for the revealing of the entire transactions of the officials of the old regime, and they will not let up until the people shall know everything. Concerning the disposition of said officials now in office, Mr. Holmes, when interviewed by a representative of the press in part said: "I am determined to purge the order of all uncleanliness and will not cease until the people will be given the true status of affairs and their every interest protected. "New members can now be taken in, and a dispensation of $3 has been granted to former members. The office force has struggled vallanty and raised over $1,200 on account of the redemption fund." The following editorial from the News-Leader, Richmond's popular afternoon paper, is interesting. It says: "We very sincerely congratulate the True Reformers on the renewal of their license to do business by the insurance department of the state. The zeal, energy and self sacrifice of the Negroes in rehabilitating their great institution is deserving of all praise and commendation. The definite destruction and ruin of this great Negro organization would have been a terrible blow to the race and the prestige of the race. For years this order has been pointed to as an evidence of the Negro's capacity to build, to construct and to achieve. It has rendered an immense service to the race. "There is much that it can do in the future. The spirit with which their people have come to their assistance and enabled the order to survive the calamitous misfortunes which had seemed to have overwhelmed it gives promise not only of the order's survival, but assurance that, chastened by adversity, it will go forward and perform still greater things for its people and enjoy still wider respect and consideration."

Dawson Escapes From Police and Fires by Trolley—Victim's Scalp Badly Gashed. William Crawdad, a colored waiter at Carling's, was struck on the head with a baseball bat by Manager Joe Cantillon of the Minneapolis team at Lexington park yesterday while Crawdad and Catcher "Hub" Dawson of the Minneapolis team were engaged in a pitched battle in the negro's box, brought about by too militant rooting, which Dawson resented with his fists. Crawdad sustained a long gash in his scalp. Dawson had leaped into the box, engaged by the negro's chaff, and had been giving and receiving hefty pummels for two minutes when Cantillon made two passes with his bat, the second one ending the battle. Cantillon Case Continued to June 18 —Dawson Escapes. Cantillon was arrested, taken to the Rondo precinct station and thence to Judge Hugo Hanft's chambers, where his case was continued until June 13. Dawson, after being allowed to change from uniform to street clothes, gave the officer the slip just as a Minneapolis car came along, and went to Minneapolis. Both are charged with disorderly conduct. Makes a Dash for the Box. The trouble started in the second inning after Crawdad, who is a regular attendant at the games and a rooter, is said by Dawson to have addressed obnoxious remarks to him. The Minneapolis team was in the field and Dawson was standing near the boxes along the third base coaching lines. Dawson made a dash for Crawdad and the entire Miller team came running in from their positions, and Cantillon left the visitors' bench for the scene of trouble. As he passed the St. Paul bench he grabbed a baseball bat, which he swung at the colored man, missing him. Swings Bat Again. The police interfered and separated them, but Dawson jumped into the stand and started mixing matters with the negro. He was getting decidedly the worst of the fray when Cantillon swung his bat once more, catching Crawdad on top of the head, cutting a deep gash and causing the blood to run. Cantillon was then hustled off the field between two policemen and taken to the Rondo street station in his baseball uniform. Dawson was allowed to don his street clothes, and while waiting to be taken to the station he jumped on a street car bound for Minneapolis. Business Men Defend Crawdad. According to several well known business men who occupied boxes adjoining Crawdad's, he was in no way making himself abusive to the opposite players, but was only rooting as any other fan would do. Dawson, it is said, had no business on that side of the diamond. on that side of the diamond. Crawdad is a regular attendant at the games and always makes himself prominent by his loud rooting. CONDEMN CANTILLON'S ACTION. St. Paul Business Men, Witnesses of Assault, Call It Unprovoked. In speaking of the near-riot at Lexington ball park yesterday afternoon, Colonel H. M. Stocking of St. Paul characterized Manager Cantillon's action as the most unprovoked thing he ever saw. "The Minneapolis players were tired and out of patience with the way the game was going," he said, "and the negro in the box kept joshing with his banter until one of the Minneapolis players (Dawson) stepped up to the box and said something to the negro. After a few words he got into the box and struck at the colored man. Some one pulled them apart and then the Minneapolis manager jumped into the box and struck the negro over the head with the ball bat with both hands. The blow would have killed a white man. It is a wonder it didn't kill him. If Cantillon had not interfered I think, and I hoped, that the negro would have whipped Dawson. It was an attack with a dangerous weapon." A. W. Pocock, manager of the Hotel Ryan, who was sitting in a box a short distance from the scene of the trouble, said that he didn't hear the words which passed between Dawson and the negro, but said that he could see nothing offensive in the banter and joshing of the colored man. As for Cantillon's action in striking him, which Mr. Pocock plainly saw, he said: "When women and gentlemen come out to see a ball game such a bit of rowdyism that belongs back in the times twenty years ago and should not be tolerated."

FRANCIUS, ESQ. The St. Paul Dispatch of last Monday contained the statement that Attorney W. T. Francis, of St. Paul had made application for appointment to succeed Mr. Furniss as Minister to Hayti. We noticed in an interview in the Pioneer Press of Tuesday that Mr. Francis denies that he is an applicant and states that if his name has been mentioned it was done by friends in the East and without his knowledge. When interviewed by the Star and in reply to the question "If the appointment was tendered would you accept it?" Mr. Francis said he most certainly would. The Star is of the opinion that this part of the West is entitled to some representation in the way of Federal appointments and knows of no man who would more fittingly represent his people with honor and credit and give better satisfaction than W. T. Francis. If his friends are working for his appointment the wish of the Star is: More power to their efforts. Dr. Redd has moved to 111 6th Street So., second floor.

Washington Rounds Out Thirty Years' Work Amid Brilliant Scenes, Surrounded by Many Distinguished Visitors. By N. BARNETT DODSON. Tuskegee, Ala.—Tuskegee institute's thirtieth annual commencement, which began May 21 and closed May 25, was the most successful in the history of the institution. The number of academic diplomas, industrial certificates from the various industrial divisions of the school and certificates from the Phelps Hall Bible Training school totaled 253. The large number of visitors present included distinguished men of both races from various sections of the country. On Sunday, May 21, at 1:30 p. m., students, teachers and visitors marched in a body to the institute chapel, where they listened to the commence A. B. AGEN JONES, SALUTATORIAN. ment sermon, eloquently preached by the Right Rev. John C. Kilgo of the Methodist Episcopal Church South. Following the sermon Bishop Kilgo addressed a few earnest words to the members of the graduating class, who arose in a body to receive his blessing. On Monday night the graduating exercises of the Phelips Hall Bible Training school were held. This was the eighteenth anniversary. The alumni address was made by the Rev. William E. Burton of the class of 1909 and the annual address by the Rev. W. A. Blockwall of Montgomery, Ala. The Trinity church (Boston) oratorical contest was held in the chapel on Tuesday night. The prizes were $25 and $15. A large and enthusiastic audience was present. Commencement day, Thursday, May 25, was given over entirely to the exercises of the graduating class and was divided into two sessions, the morning session, which began at 10:30, and the afternoon session, which began at 2:30. Fourteen years ago Tuskegee departed entirely from the traditional commencement and in an old pavilion had illustrative material brought to the platform and there explained to the audiences which gathered to hear the youthful speakers. Instead of such essays as "Beyond the Alps Lies Italy," "After School What?" etc. the THE FIGHT SENIOR CLASS MARCHING FROM CHAPEL ON COMMENCEMENT DAY. students were directed to write essays on subjects dealing with their everyday school life. The salutatory, "The Care and Feeding of Cows For Milk Production," was delivered by Ace Jones of Thomashville, Ga. He told in a simple, straightforward way of the things he had learned in the dairy division of the school. By way of illustration, two cows were brought upon the stage—one a fine Jersey and the other a poor "scrub" cow. He demonstrated to the satisfaction of his hearers that, although the Jersey cow was more costly than the "scrub" in the beginning. she was by far the better investment. The salutary was in part as follows: Dear trustees, you who have made it possible for us to reach the goal for our work, we have been working seven years, the class of 191 extends to you a hearty welcome. Dear teachers, you who have kept watch over us and guided us through these many years, we welcome you. Dear friends, you who have stood by us in our struggles and hardships, we welcome you here to this institution. If in successive years you have career afterward we demonstrate to you that the hearty support you have given us has been used to the best advantage in making useful men and women we shall feel that we have begun in a small way to pay the debt that we owe you and this will be the result. You have helped us and in which we shall try to pay this debt is through dairying. I will give you an idea of how cows are fed and cared for in the school's dairy husbandry division. In this division we have the following feeds from which to compound our ration: Cottonseed meal, cornmeal, wheat shorts and rape, corn silage, cottonseed hulls, hay, cabbage and wheat bran. If cottonseed hulls are chosen the hulls and silage are mixed, two parts of hulls to every three parts of silage, and each cow is given about forty shorts and each cow is given about four shorts are mixed, one part of cornmeal to two parts of wheat shorts and six parts of cottonseed meal, and each cow is given about one pound of this mixture to every four pounds of milk she produces. Most of the other speakers used Illustrations also. "Building a Closed Stairway," by Jesse O. Thomas, a graduate in carpentry, was illustrated with a model of the stairway, which had been placed upon the platform. Similarly illustrated were "Opportunities For the Negro Dressmaker In Her Community," by Flora Boaz of Kansas City, Kan.; "Some Simple Operations In Electricity," by Victor Daniels of the island of St. Thomas, Danish West Indies, and "Making Over Old Hats," by Estelle Williams of West Point, Miss. "Extension Work In Macon County," by Henderson Wells, Waugh, Ala., and "Carrying the School Into the Home," by Ophelia Hamilton, Columbus, Miss., while not illustrated, were well thought out and interesting. The valedictory, "Modern Methods In Education," was delivered by Julius Freeman of Wilson, N. C. He said in part: Until a comparatively recent date our educational system had no particular end. It was thought that general knowledge would enable a person to be a successful artisan or professional man. With this idea in mind the studies had little or no impact on the students taught with no application to real substances. Children were told that sixteen ounces equaled one pound, and yet they had no conception of a pound or even how to operate scales. Other systems of weights and measures were taught in this same abstract manner, and problems based upon this theoretical knowledge were taught to the pupil and teacher. Likewise grammar had no connection with ordinary speech. The kindergarten carries the modern idea of teaching through play. No instruction is given from the book. The children are taught to weave and make simple designs through the spirit of play. In short, the kindergarten is home training. The kindergarten serves as the training. The training school serves as a bridge for the children of the immediate community. JULIUS FREEMAN, VALEDICTORIAN. to pass from the kindergarten to Tuskegee proper. The play element is lessened and a more definite shape given to their lives and character by introducing carpentry, gardening, cooking and sewing into the upper classes. We have you with many regrets, for we realize and appreciate how closely your lives have been associated with ours. Our troubles have been your troubles, and when we would have done unwise you guided us with hands that were firm, yet gentle. Through it all you have striven to give us instruction that would prepare us for useful life. We shall learn in our lives the result of your teaching. Dear principal, the class of 1911 bids you farewell. We shall strive to reflect in our lives the fundamentals of education that you have so wisely laid down for the benefit of humanity. We shall always remember the dignity of labor and to do with our might what our hands find to do. Our minds will be opened to the potency of industrial education in raising our standard to a higher life of service. Classmates, we must bid farewell to all these scenes made dear by pleasant and helpful associations. We must leave behind us the friends who have contributed so much to our lives, and, hardest of all, we must bid each other farewell. Tuskegee is sending us out. We go where duty calls, and, though we shall often be weary with overcoming - difficulties, yet let us keep ever in mind our motto, "There is no victory without conflict." Let us do our best and trust in God. Schoolmates, teachers and principal, the class of 1911 as a class bids you farewell. Following the valedictory, the commencement address was delivered by Judge Robert H. Terrell of Washington. Then the diplomas were given out to the members of the graduating class by Principal Washington, and the meeting closed with the singing of the "Halleujah Chorus" by the choir. New Odd Fellows' Temple Dedicated, McFarrand lodge, No. 2802, Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, is to be congratulated upon the successful completion of the new Odd Fellows' temple built under its direct supervision in Washington, Pa. The handsome edifice was duly dedicated on Sunday, May 28. TWIN CITY STAR SUNDAY SCHOOL. Text of the Lesson, John xiv, 15-27, Memory Verses, 25-27—Golden Text John xiv, 16—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. As Israel's penitence and God's pardon, according to Hos. xiv, the regular lesson for the day, can only be by the Holy Spirit, we will consider briefly that lesson, but give most of the time to the gospel lesson. It is as they shall look upon Him whom they have pierced, when they shall see Him coming in glory, that the Lord will pour upon the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and of supplication, and there shall be a national mourning and a national forgiveness (Zech. xli, 9; xli, 1). Then shall Hos. xiv be fulfilled, and after that He will pour out His Spirit upon all flesh (Joel ii, 27, 28). It is only by the same Holy Spirit that believers in this present age can know the meaning of sin and righteousness and judgment by knowing Jesus Christ as the great sin bearer and by seeing in His sufferings how hateful sin is to God. Jesus Christ can only be a great Saviour to such as have seen themselves to be great sinners. Paul saw himself to be the chief of sinners, and to him Jesus Christ was such a great Saviour that he could think or talk of no one else. It will be just so with his people Israel, and after their conversion there will be a nation of Pauls to make Jesus Christ known to all the world. In this present age if every believer was filled with the Spirit as our Lord Jesus would like us to be then the world that seeth not and knoweth not and cannot receive the Spirit of truth would see something of Jesus Christ in His people, and many would want to know Him. The Spirit always testifies of Christ, teaches things concerning Him, guides into all truth, shows us things to come and brings to remembrance what we have read or heard about Jesus (John xiv, 16, 17, 26; xv, 26; xvi, 7-13). He is specially "the Comforter" (partakelos) and is so called four times in these verses just referred to. So we have a comforter in the presence of the Father and a Comforter dwelling in us, but more wonderful still, according to verses 17, 23, Father, Son and Holy Spirit all dwell in us if we are true believers and make our bodies their abode, or mansion, for the word translated "abode" in verse 23 is the very same word which is translated "mansion" in verse 2, and it is used nowhere else, although the verb from which the noun comes is used a great many times and is variously translated—abide, remain, dwell, continue. It is impossible to fully grasp such a truth, and it is stated again and again in such words as these: "Christ liveth in me," "That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith," "The life of Jesus made manifest in our body" (Gal. ii, 20; Eph. iii, 17; II Cor. iv, 10, 11). In verse 19 of our lesson He seems to say that He expects that the world will see Him in us. His life at the Father's right hand, where He ever liveth to make intercession for us, makes sure our life, and if we would more steadfastly behold Him and not people or circumstances we would be more manifestly changed into His likeness by the Spirit (II Cor. iii, 18). He longs to reveal Himself to us and through us, and He does this by His Spirit and His word (I Sam. iii, 21; 53. cxii, 130; II Cor. iv, 6; John vl, 63; xl, 21-23). We must not only read His word and memorize it, laying it up in our hearts, but we must eat it, appropriate it, make it our very own, according to Jer. xv. 16; Job xxiii, 12; Ezek. iii, 1-4; Rev. x. 8-11. Thus only can we know the peace which He alone can give. He is the Prince of peace, the God of peace, the peace of He, our peace (Isa. ix. 6, 7; Heb. xiii, 20; Phil. iv, 6, 7; Col. iii, 15; Eph. ii, 14). By the blood of His cross He has made peace, and when we truly receive Him we have peace with God and may be filled with joy and peace in believing (Col. i, 20; Rom. v, 1; xv, 13), but the peace of God will only keep our hearts when we commit everything to Him in prayer and rely on Him to see to it. As to neither being troubled nor afraid see also verse 1 and compare Matt. xxiv, 6; Luke xxiv, 38, and notice how He closed this discourse in John xvl, 33, with the assurance that we must expect tribulation. If any one else had said you shall have trouble, but do not be troubled, we would think them very unbalanced, but He was God (verse 1), and He is God and is unceasingly caring for us and making all things work together for our highest good, assuring us that all our afflictions are light and but for a moment comparatively and are all working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory (Rom. vitt, 28; II Cor. iv, 17, 18). It is only in trial that we can really manifest that He is living in us, for almost any one can be lovely and pleasant when all goes well. May we learn to glory in all things that His power may rest upon us (II Cor. xiif, 9, 10) and have always that whole hearted, unbounded confidence in Him that shall say, "Even so, just and true are Thy ways; I know that Thou art righteous; Thy way is perfect." EPOCH MAKING SCHOOL YEAR. PERSONNEL OF STUDENT BODY Eight Days Required to Cover Program of Exercises at Forty-second Annual Commencement of Widely Known Institution In Washington, Judge Wendell P. Stafford Spoake. By OLIVER RANDOLPH. BY OLIVER RANDOLPH. With all the pomp and ceremony characteristic of great universities the forty-second annual commencement of Howard university came to a close Wednesday evening, May 31, in the presence of a large audience composed largely of relatives and friends of the graduates. More than 150 young men and women received degrees. The degree of bachelor of arts was conferred upon about forty young men and women, twenty-seven from the College of Arts and Sciences and thirteen from the Teachers' college. Thirty-eight were in the senior medical class as candidates for the degree of doctor of medicine. Twenty-one were in the senior dental class as candidates for the degree of doctor of dental surgery. Thirteen were in the senior class in pharmacy as candidates for the degree of doctor of pharmacy. Twenty-nine were in the senior law class as candidates for the degree of bachelor of laws. In the School of Theology there were seventeen seniors in the day school and fourteen in the night school. There were seven seniors in the normal course, thirty-nine seniors in the academy and twelve seniors in the Commercial college. The number of degree and nondegree graduates [Picture of a man with white hair and a suit. He is facing the camera.] PRESIDENT W. P. THIRKIELD. this year is the largest in the history of the school, thus making the commencement just closed the greatest of all Howard commencements. President Wilbur Patterson Thirkield, the distinguished head of this institution, secured the services of Judge Wendell Phillips Stafford of the supreme court of the District of Columbia as the commencement speaker. The colored people in general were highly pleased with this selection, for they recognize Judge Stafford as one of the strongest friends to the cause of Negro education in this country. Noteworthy, indeed, were the scenes on this commencement day. In the audience could be seen men and women high in life's walks—bishops and ministers who are at the top of their profession; doctors and lawyers who have won fame in their callings; educators whose learning has made them NEW CARNEgie LIBRARY. celebrated; high government officials and other men prominent in political affairs. The representative character of the audience was indeed noteworthy. To many the most inspiring as well as the most beautiful and classic scene was that presented when the graduates, president, faculties and honored guests in grand procession, donned in classic cap and gown, marched into the auditorium. President Thirkeld presided, as is the time honored custom. He was greeted with much warm applause, which testified not only to his popularity with the student body, but showed that the people in general appreciate the great services he has rendered to Howard university. Commencement week at Howard began with the class day exercises of the academy on May 24 and extended over a period of eight days.

Howard university during the past school year. He also points out that these students came from thirty-seven states of the United States and from the following countries: British West Indies, Bermuda, Cuba, British Guiana, Porto Rico, Panama, South Africa, Liberia and the Dutch West Indies. During the past year the new science hall and the new Carnegie library have been in use, adding much to the general good of the university. Another new building is now nearing completion. It will be occupied by the School of Manual Arts and Applied Sciences. This is a three story brick building, 100 by 40 feet. The university printing press and engineering laboratories will occupy the basement, the second floor will be occupied by the woodworking department, two lecture rooms and the department of domestic arts, and a drafting room will occupy the third floor.

Sunday school workers throughout the jurisdiction of the New England Baptist Sunday school convention are looking forward with much interest to the forthcoming eighteenth annual meeting of the convention, which will be held with the Sunday school of the Congdon Street Baptist church, Providence, R. I., beginning on Tuesday morning, June 13, at 10:30. The program committee announces the following subjects for discussion: "How May We Make Our Sunday School a Standard Worthy of Imitation?" (this subject will be led by Mrs. Julia Clay of South Norwalk, Conn.); "Educational Features In Sunday School Work," "The Sunday School at Its Best," address by the Rev. Dr. William M. Moss of Brooklyn, annual address by the president and "How Has This Convention Helped Me as a Sunday School Worker?" The general officers of the convention are N. Barnett Dodson, president; W. C. Minton, vice president; Miss Richetta G. Randolph, recording secretary; Miss Nettie A. Smith, corresponding secretary, and the Rev. Dr. A. Clayton Powell, treasurer. Members of the board of managers other than the general officers are Rev. Dr. William P. Lawrence, G. W. Long, Mrs. L. E. Miller, Mrs. Sylvia A. Harris, J. W. Jackson and Miss Vandella Shieldon. Selma University's New President. We bespeak for Selma university, Selma, Ala., continued success and high efficiency under the leadership of its new president, the Rev. Dr. Matthew W. Gilbert. Dr. Gilbert's scholarly attainments, coupled with his long years of experience in pastoral and educational work, should add much to the proper management of the school. A EVENING COAT WITH CROSS STITCH. Most of our garments are revivals, whether it is in the cut which harks back to the time of the first empire or in fabrics and decoration which are of all periods. Quaint indeed are some of the embroideries in cross stitch and French knots applied in quint angular designs that recall the old patterns that our great-grandmothers' samplers depict. Blouse fronts and evening wraps, as well as household fancy work, abound in these odd yet charming effects, which are worked in carefully harmonized colors. This handsome evening wrap is most suitable for wear with the brocades that are now so popular. White broadcloth is the material of the coat. At the waist a broad banding of French knots and cross stitch is put on in the form of conventionalized leaves and flowers. Bands of cross stitching are applied to the wide sleeves and the square sailor collar cut low in the back. SUMMER BLOUSES. Lingerie Affairs Elaborately Lace Trimmed and Embroidered. Trimmed and Embroidered. The summer blouse for comfort and neatness should be of some easily laundered material, such as linen or lawn. Laces and embroideries are used in the decoration of these garments. There are scores of blouses made of all over embroidery, and most of the models are exceedingly simple, the embroidery being handsome enough to A LINGERIE WAIST. serve as trimming and just a trifle of some fine lace being added at neck and sleeve edge as a finish. Fichus are worn with many of these simple tub blouses, and sometimes fichu and blouse are trimmed alike, a very pretty notion. The Magyar type, with its seamless shoulder and sleeve and its loose fall of material from shoulder to waist, continues to be the favorite blouse style. In direct contrast to the tub blouses there are smart little blouses of heavy Irish crochet or the fashionable and expensive venise, which mold the lines of the figure without showing fullness anywhere. These lace blouses are mounted over chiffon cloth, sometimes in white, sometimes in delicate color tints, and a rather daring notion is to wear the lacy blouse over flesh colored chiffon. These lace blouses are exquisitely shaped, for without a trace of fullness the lines must be easy and unrestricted anywhere. Such blouses may sometimes be picked up very reasonably from the peasants who go aboard the ocean liners at Queenstown and peddle laces to home going American travelers. In the blouse shops in America, of course, they cost substantially more, but such a blouse will pay for itself over and over and may eventually become a valuable heirloom, for Irish lace practically never wears out.

THE McGHEE DINNER. ‘That complimentary dinner to At- torney McGhee at the Newport on May 25th, was attended by 37 rep- resentative Negroes, who had as- sembled to honor one of our foremost citizens, and they left feeling that their presence had also given honor to an occasion which was the revival of friendship between two leaders Attorneys Francis and McGhee and the unity of two factions. Owing to a rumor that the proposed dinner was to Attorney McGhee “for his able handling of the Turner case,” many friends of both the doctor and at- torney failed to attend. Regardless of what may have been said, it was a meeting in which, (in the memorable words of Capt. Phillips), “There was honor enough for us all.” The pur- pose of the banquet was the evidence of union of two factions, the exist- ence of which has been disastrous to the community. The harmonious effect of this meeting will tend to ad- vance our race's best interest. After the programe, Attorney McGhee arose and referred to the opportunity which was afforded to the people of Minnesota in connection with the candidacy of Mr. W. T. Francis as minister to Haiti. A motion prevailed and the toast- master appointed as a committee Messrs, Geo. W. Wills, Rev. A. H. Lealted, F. L. McGhee, J. Q. Adams, B. 8, Smith and W. R. Morris to draft suitable resolutions asking for the appointment of W. T. Francis, Esq. as minister to Haiti, with in- structions that the same be presented to the Minnesota delegation in Con- gress. ‘Then came a benediction by Rev. A. H, Lealtad and the singing of the Doxology. ‘And the dinner went on record as one of the best yet given in every sense of the word. Get together—was the key-note, struck by Toastmaster Sherwood at the McGhee dinner, which was fol- lowed by all the speakers, producing a chord of perfect harmony—Yes—we are now together—and Blest be the ties that bind us into concerted ef- fort for the welfare of our race. The Twin City Star has been pub- lished a year—and since its beginning has missed a few issues.

Smith. in Memory of os MERCER LANGSTON, ee penne ‘and Statesman. “Where shall we look for hero, Or, where shall we find a story.” O'Rielly. The above lines are from the poem entitled, “Crispus Attucks,” the first to die for American Independence. He was a negro of Revolutionary days and was killed in State St. Boston, with Maverick Caldwell Carr and Gray (supposed to be Irish-American Patriots). He struck the first blow for American Independence, and while leading his faithful few followers on that memorial day, March 5, 1770, was killed by the British soldiers. In Boston an inscription marks thespot where he fell, and a monument on Boston Common immortalizes his dy- ing effort. Yet today he is unknown to that “class of legislators” who seek to take away the Negto's rights— to that set of savages of the South- land, who celebrate the 4th of July, without regard for law or order, by lynching negroes—to that elemnt of lawless immigrants, who think that @ negro has no right in this country, and should not enjooy its privileges. He struck a blow, and died for this country’s freedom. His death was avenged by Peter Salem, who shot Maj. Pitcairn at Bunker Hill. Should you visit the historic battlefields of the Revolution, Lexington, Coneord and Bunker Hill, you will find that the “Ride of Paul Revere,” “The Old South Church,” the “Cradle of Liber- ty” and Bunker Hill Monument are hallowed as memorials to the patriots of the Revolution, and that Attuck’s name is more honored than all. He was the cause of the firing of the shot that was heard around the world.” Editorial July 7, 1910. TO DEPARTED HUMANITY. We are glad that one church had arranged a program for the ob- servance of Decoration Day. This is the day which {s natizally ‘dedicated to the memory of the departed dead. Not only to the Brave Black Boys who served their country and did it well, to our relatives, our friends, our fraternities—but to our ancestry as a race, of which we are proud. WELL KNOWN CLUBMAN DEAD. Mr. Edw. Durant, the well-known manager of the Utopia Club in Mon- treal died last week. Mr. Durant has been sick for a long time, and had Just returned from a trip to Cuba for his health. COLORED MEN'S CHANCES IN THE SOUTH. ‘There is not a city, town or village in the South where an industrious negro cannot obtain ebployment and receive fair treatment at the hands of his white neighbors. There is not the least doubt that the relations of the two races in the South are today ‘vastly better than they were 10 years ago, and we believe it is due in large measure to the fact that the negroes are beginning to understand that those who have the kindest feeling and most sympathy for them are the white people among whom they have been born and reared.—New Orleans States, NEW BUILDING WILL COST $30,000 The United Brothers of Friendship and the Sisters of the Mysterious Ten at Lexington, Ky. are enlarging their hall by an addition which will cost $30,000. ‘There was a sqpabble about who should preach the U. B. F. Sermon. Rey. Carter had been selected and upon reconsideration the Wharton forces won. Some preachers are good politicians, and they practice wire pulling to accomplish their purposes. But that game did not work with the Knights. They wanted Rev. Lewis, (though not of their order,) and they enjoyed his sermon—and there is no question that there were many of the U. B. F’s who wanted to hear Rev. Carter preach this sermon. The rep- utation of our Churches depends on the character of our ministers, and until conditions are changed there ‘will always be contentions among us. ‘We have among our clergy some min- isters who regard the voice of the people as the voice of God, while others are saying (by their actions): To HELL WITH OPINION and the PUBLIC BE DAMNED.
