Twin City Star

MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY DULUTH THE TWIN CITY STAR ST. PAUL Defective Page GOPHERS DEFEAT WERDENS. Take the Whole Series, and Outclass Their-Opponents. The Twin City Gophers, owned by Glover Shull and managed by "Bobby" Marshall, easily defeated Perry Werden's all Stars at Nicollet Park on July 1, 2, 3. The batting of Binga McDougall and Armstrong, in the first game was the feature, Lefty Pangburn showed wonderful speed and perfect delivery. The work of Marshall on first base, Bunch Davis on 2nd and Brown at 3rd was very good. Selden, the short stop, is a rare player, and a great support to the infield. Bert James, Binga and Armstong are in the outfield "with the goods." Johnson and Davis are two of the best pitchers on the team, Davis is the iron man. Having pitched nearly the earlier games this season. But Johnny loves the game, and has the confidence of the other players who support him better than they do the other twirlers. Armstrong did some great catching, and his batting eye is very keen and his whip strong. That throw to second is unbeatable. McDougal is a wonderful batter. They can't beat him. The sensational catch of Binga, near the right fence was grand, and the double made of it was the candy. Brown also stopped a fast drive from Perry's bat, and ended the series. The Gophers are right. Dude Lytle, Scarlett, and Hardaman are members of the team. All are good reserve players. Mr. Henry C. Jones of St. Paul is the business manager. They expect some good games later with the celebrated Keystones. Johnney Davis, the star pitcher of the Gophers returned home on Thursday. He is suffering greatly with sore eyes. FRANK LELAND'D CHICAGO GI ANTS RUBE POSTERS' AMERICAN GIANTS. The series which was started on July 2nd at Chicago resulted in a tie after 4 games were played. It was a battle of pitchers between Cyclone Joe Williams and for the Chicago Giants, Kansas City Bill Lindsey for Fosters' team, which has so far proven victorious for Lindsay. He has won both games in which he has performed. The outfield playing of Sherman (Bucky) Barton, formerly of the St. Paul Colored Gophers has been phenomenal, both his batting and pitching being the feature of the games played in this series. Irving Williams. The Gophers are a good strong team. The Star is informed that the Keystones are playing real professional ball. They showed up to form at Alexandria. Why can't the Keystones and Gophers get together and play a series? There is more spirit attraction and real money for the management in the games of these friendly rivals than in the World's Championship (among the locals at 60 and 40). Who refuses to sign? The Keystones will play anybody. So, it is either "Bobby" or "the Kidd." DULUTH ITEMS Mr. Sidney Johnson of Duluth Heights is spending the summer sailing on the lakes, with his mother and father, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Johnson.

MUSIC EVERY EVENING WHAT CONSTITUTES A SUBSCRIBER? A court decision has lately been rendered in Massachusetts on what constitutes a subscriber. The judge firmly believed that a man who received the paper, although he never subscribed for it, is entitled to pay. James Thompson moved, and William Robinson took immediate possession, and received and accepted a weekly newspaper that was delivered to him through the mails every week. The goodnatured editor sent accounts frequently, but no attention was paid to them by Mr. Robinson. Finally there was a day of reckoning. Robinson had received the paper for some time, he informed the collector, but he said that he never subscribed and declined to pay for it. The judge personally questioned the defendant, who said that he read and made use of it and was receiving the accounts, which were frequently enclosed in the paper. Judgment was rendered in favor of the newspaper. The judge was severe in his criticism of people who are receiving papers and do not think it worth while to pay for what they receive and make use of it as an act of dishonesty, he said one should acquaint the publisher and pay for what numbers he receives.—X. SPRING PARK, JULY 20. SEND YOUR SUBSCRIPTION. In a recent editorial "is he grateful?

State Grand Lodge of Virginia, meets in Petersburg. A Grand Encampment. The Colored Pythians have the city, (The Petersburg Daily Progress.) Petersburg, Va., June 21.—Three excursion trains—one from Richmond, another from Norfolk and the third from Roanoke—reached the city today, each bringing a large crowd of colored Pythians and their friends to the city to attend the festivities held in connection with the Grand Lodge now in session at the First Ebenezer Baptist Churhc. The local committees have been unremitting in their efforts to provide proper entertainment for the visitors. Homes have been provided for delegates and a tented city for the uniform rank. This afternoon at four o'clock there was a parade in which THE BROOKLYN BROTHERS JOHN MITCHELL, JR. Gen'l Comd'g. U. R. K. P. Grand Chancellor, Grand Lodge. the First Regiment, U. R. of Richmond and the Second Regiment of Norfolk and detached Companies from other parts of the state took part. It was one of the finest bodies of colored men ever seen in Petersburg and their soldier-like bearing was highly complimented. Commander General John Mitchell, Jr. of Richmond, was in command, and among his staff officers were Col. Ferguson, Col. Wyatt and Major E. B. Cornish, the latter of this city. There were several bands in the parade, which discoursed martial airs. Business places decorated. A number of the merchants, both white and colored in the vicinity of Center Market have decorated their places of business in honor of the Pythians. The Maceo Guards of Newport News, Capt. John Steward in command, and the Battalion of Pythian Cadets from Richmond, Companies A and B, Major Ammons in command gave fine exhibition drills which were greatly enjoyed by the several thousand spectators. The banquet will be a feature. Grand Cancellor, John Mitchell, Jr., will be Master of Ceremonies and addresses will be delivered by a number of prominent members of the order. It is estimated that fully 3,000 Pythians and visitors were in the city, and the good order which has prevailed has been cause for remarks. The visitors have conducted themselves in a manuel worthy of the highest commendation. The PROGRESS, is informed by Chief of Police Roland that not a single complaint of any kind has reached police headquarters and it is the most orderly crowd that he has ever seen in the city. AND STILL THEY COME. The Star wants to know about the National Orphanage at Glasgow, Va. Rev. G. E. Fountain is looking after the interest of this school. Why is it that everybody, who is "looking out for such interests" comes to Minnesota, and especially to the white business men—Are we a race of beggars, or have we among us so many who seek charity, that we are represented as al-seeekers? FRATERNAL COHESIVENESS. A real fraternal feeling is rapidly growing among the two Masonic bodies in St. Paul, and it cannot be made to strong. On the level it's the square thing to do and plumb foolish to do otherwise. Since the election of Mr. Francis as Worshipful Master of Pioneer Lodge and Mr. Melchor of Perfect Ashler Lodge the Lodges are coming closer together. Negroes must "GET TOGETHER" and stick and the Masons are no exception to the rule. When you hear a Negro Mason talking against another lodge he has forgotten his obligation and should be reminded of it. Forget the past, wipe off the slate and work together. The Star and the community wants to see each Lodge hold the other on the five points of fellowship. THE SPIRELLA CORSET. MISS Cora E.

Religious Corporation In Annual Public Document Deplores the Prevalence of Lynching and All Forms of Discrimination on Account of Color-Subject For President's Message. Before adjourning its thirty-seventh annual meeting, recently held in Providence, R. I., the New England Baptist missionary convention adopted a strong set of resolutions, which were prepared by a special committee. The document voices the sentiments of the organization and is in part as follows: Through political blunders, flashes of economical disputes and famished stagnation of labor unions, class rule, digging at the eternal foundations of the constitution and political falling from grace we have come through another conventional year as the years of nation's war. As the years have gone, this has been one of gospel triumph, happiness and REV. DR. W. B. REED prosperity on the one hand, sadness, retrogression and national blunders on the other. God be praised for his goodness and long suffering! May he hasten the day when his gospel of love, peace and justice shall be lived as well as preached and taught throughout the land! Oppression, murder license, class rule in abortion, demagogues, humiliation of man and man's legislation and the slumbering of justice over these wrongs always result in sadness to the sufferers. We call the attention of the nation to the lynch and bullet riddle fad of the less civilized section of our country. There murder license is obtained by common consent, and the murderers are to be white and the murdered black. There denons have decreed that colored men must be beaten and murdered into subjection, but God has decreed otherwise, and the institution safeguards their freedom of speech, and they will not hold their peace. Lynching is relished for more than one reason. In the first place, it gives evil politicians platform ammunition drawn from inexhaustible fountains of magnified lies. In the second place, it gives a hostile press an opportunity not only to misrepresent us, but to do us great harm in many ways. By enlarging on those things which put the race in a bad light and for the most part remaining silent on those matters, the press has fostered the cause of race prejudice, emboldened our cowardly persecutors and weakened the faith of many friends who seem not to see the injustice of the press. The recent Florida lynching may be cited as typical of the treatment accorded to the colored man. While this happy gathering of fiery demons might not have measured up in atroclusions to some that have gone before, it is wild enough to be used as an example. There six colored in the death of a civilized community are considered innocent, for men are so considered until they are proved guilty. Those innocent men were murdered by those fiery demons on "suspected complicity." We commend those governors who have endeavored to punish delinquent officers for neglecting their duty. We hope the day will soon come when the governor of every state where this crime is resorted early hope lies as the most conspicuous crime among civilized beings like a stand against it. We also hope that the president in search of recommendations to congress will call for legislation against this crime of crimes. We again call attention to the awful jimcrow rules of the south, rules brutally enforced to the humiliation of the race against the race of the people of intelligence. We know that jimcrow car laws are unconstitutional and call upon manly men everywhere to resent them, for the constitution forbids racial discrimination. We regret that men who have to do with the enforcement of the constitution have bowed to the behest of these men, for the sake of being held in the high esteem of men who are their eternal foes. Our country has been made great by sages and heroes whose lives may ever be held up with pride to honest citizens through all ages to come. We look across our fair land with jealous pride at the slabs which mark the resting place of the sages, the heroes, the flag and for freedom, a flag and freedom fought for by men who stood for right. We stand today with those who stood for these, and we entreat the American people to be fair in the making of laws and the dispensing of justice.

TO FORM LOCAL ASSOCIATIONS Thrifty Organization of Professional Men Discusses Methods by Which Various Diseases May Be Checked—Appointment of Three Health Commissioners Recommended. BY GEORGE FRANCIS KING. Durham, N. C.-The twenty-second annual session of the North Carolina Medical, Pharmaceutical and Dental association, recently held in this city, was a noteworthy event. The pertinent features of this meeting were the papers by prominent members, which revealed unusual preparation and quite an exhaustive treatment of the subjects claiming the attention of the members from every section of the state. In delivering the annual address President F. S. Hargraves, M.D., of Wilson, made a comprehensive resume of peculiar conditions paramount in the activities of the men identified with the movement and in part said: Wherever our men are found in sufficient numbers there should be formed local associations. There should be appointed three commissioners—one on tuberculosis, pellagra and hookworm—to report at the next annual meeting. This commission should be a commission of the National Medical association. Study and make a just contribution to medical progress, which is incumbent upon us as members of a progressive profession. We should not be discouraged or despair because we are poor or mentally ill. We should not be not a Rockefeller foundation to aid in our investigation and research. Vaccination, which checked the deadly onslaught of smallpox upon the human race, was given to us by a man unknown save in his immediate community. The efficacy of nitrous ether as an anaesthetic was demonstrated by a country doctor in South Carolina three years before the experts in New England sent the news broadcast to the world. There is no barrier to the intellect. It cannot be circumscribed by prejudice or legislation. Every life is lifted up or pulled down by the power of thought acting upon it. Dr. J. A. Kenny, resident physician of Tuskegee institute and secretary of the national association, was present and delivered an address. Great interest was manifested by the body in the coming meeting of the national association at Hampton in August. The public meeting was quite a JOHN B. HARRIS F. S. HARGRAVE, M. D. demonstration on the part of the laity Dr. A. M. Moore, one of the leading physicians of the race, presided. The welcoming address on behalf of the local doctors was delivered by Dr. C. H. Shepard, one of the leading Afro-American surgeons, and the response on behalf of the association was by Dr. P. H. Williams of Raleigh Interesting and enlightening papers were read by Drs. G. A. Gerran, High Point; L. E. McCauley, Raleigh; W. T. Bebee, W. L. McCauley, N. C.; J. A. Battle, Greensboro; W. A. Mitchner, Wilson; H. C. Shepard, Durham; T. A. Mann, health officer for Durham; J D. Douglass, Rocky Mount; A. M. Rivera, D. D. S., Durham; J. W. Walker, Asheville; W. P. Carter, Goldsboro; A. H. Ray, Salisbury, N. C.; J. A. Tinsley, Weldon; J. H. Baxter, Henderson; J. S. Massy, Monroe; J. L. Engle, Charlotte; M. L. Walker and J. A. Pethel, Charlotte; A. W. Whitfield, Belhaven; D. C. Yancey, Wilson; C. H Bynum, Kingston; W. P. Coleman, Relfville. Many of the doctors present paid a tribute to the late Dr. Thomas R. Mark of Wilmington, N. C., second vice president of the association and one of the potent factors in developing the movement Dr. A. A. Wyche, secretary treasurer of the association, has through his indefatigable efforts, with Dr. A. M. Moore, Dr. J. W. Walker and several others of the old members, kept the association alive. This meeting was the greatest ever held in the history of the organization. Lett Caray District Convention The Baptist denomination in North Carolina has greatly increased throughout the state during the year. The pastors of churches and the missionary workers are looking forward with much interest to the coming meeting of the Lott Carey district convention which meets in Wilmington on Wednesday, Aug. 30. TWIN CITY STAR Cookery Points Buttered Eggs and Tomato. Wash two ounces of rice thoroughly and cook it until it is quite tender in some nicely flavored white stock which is entirely free from fat, then pass it through a fine wire sieve and reheat it in a saucepan containing an ounce of warm butter and a salt-spoonful of curry powder and two tablespoonfuls of thick stewed tomato; stir it well, add a little salt and black pepper and as soon as it is hot pour in the beaten yolk of an egg. Remove the rice from the stove directly the egg is thoroughly blended with it. Butter some medium sized molds (preferably the low shape), put a moderately thick layer of sieved tongue at the top of each, then fill them with the rice, packing it in tightly, and put into a moderate oven for about ten minutes, or rather less if the heat is fierce. On taking the molds from the oven turn the rice out on to a hot dish and cover the top entirely with creamy buttered eggs, sprinkle a little finely minced parsley over the top and serve very hot. Take two pounds of any kind of fruit—gooseberries are very good—lump sugar to taste and about half a gill of water to each pound, according to the juiciness of the fruit. Put the water and sugar into a saucepan. Let them boil for five minutes, then add the fruit and cook very gently till tender. Beat the whites of three eggs to a stiff froth and add three tablespoonfuls of sugar. Put the fruit into a fireproof dish; spread the meringue over it. Bake in a slow oven till the meringue feels crisp and is of a delicate fawn color. Serve very cold. Cantaloupe Salad. Select four cantaloupes of uniform size; chill, then cut off a small section that may serve as a lid. Fill each cantaloupe with whipped cream which has been sweetened and mixed with finely chopped ginger and marshmallows. Put the cantaloupe in a freezer or bucket, pack in equal quantities of ice and rock salt and let stand for one hour. Serve upon a platter filled with crushed ice and garnish with nasturtiums and their leaves. Or the cantaloupes could be filled with whipped cream stiffened with lemon or any sweet jelly. Raspberry and Currant Salad Half a pound each of raspberries, red or white currants and stoned cherries, two bananas, two oranges, half a can of pears or pineapples. Remove the stalks from the raspberries, currants and cherries. Peel and cut the bananas and oranges into very small pieces, taking out the orange pips. Cut also the pears or pineapples into small dice. Put the fruit in a salad bowl and pour over some of the pineapple or pear juice. Let it stand in the icebox for one hour before serving. Eggs a la Russe is an artistic dish and most appetizing. It is composed of whole hard bolled eggs from which the shells are carefully removed, then the eggs laid about a round dish like a soup plate, their surfaces decorated with little pieces of truffles, a border of finely minced vegetables flecked with little mounds of caviar, and the whole fringed with white lettuce leaves and diamond shaped pieces of smoked salmon. The color scheme of this dish is most novel and attractive. A Delloious Fruit Salad. Six large, firm apples, one banana, one orange, a small bunch of white grapes, half a cupful of broken walnut meats, half a cupful of sliced candied fruits and one teaspoonful of vanilla extract. Chop the apples, orange and banana very fine, add the nuts, candied fruit and vanilla and mix well. Garnish the top with the grapes, halved and seeded. If the apples are very sour add a little sugar. Serve on small dainty plates. To Fry Mush Quickly. Make the mush in the usual way, except that it is not necessary to cook it so long. Have a tablespoonful each of lard and butter smoking hot in a skillet. Lift the hot mush to the skillet by spoonfuls and flatten it out. It fries quickly and is sweeter and crisper than when allowed to get cold and then fried. It is delicious when served with fried chicken. Boiled Dressing. For boiled dressing beat up two eggs, add half a pint of vinegar, one teaspoonful of salt, a dash of red pepper, four tablespoonfuls of sugar and two ounces of butter. Mix well and cook in a double boiler, stirring constantly until the dressing has thickened. Then cool and serve. This dressing may be thinned with either cream or olive oil. Cream Salad Dressing. To prepare cream salad dressing rub the yolks of three hard boiled eggs to a smooth paste, gradually add one teaspoonful of salt, one teaspoonful of sugar, two tablespoonfuls of vinegar and one teaspoonful of mustard. Whip up one pint of double cream till smooth and stir this a spoonful at a time into the egg mixture. Fruit Maringue Eggs a la Russo. Boiled Dressing. The Costume Should Be Neat and Attractive as Well as Comfortable THE WEEKLY PRESS LINEN TENNIS GOWN. Tennis is increasing in popularity. Probably one reason for this is that the girl who plays golf can seldom dress the part attractively or retain her trimness long upon the links if she plays a tolerably good game. Tennis togs are distinctly fetching. The smart tennis gown may be made of one of the coarse linens that come in a dozen natural shades. It may be of plique or percale, of chambray, of lawn or even of pongee. It is cut low in the neck and finished with a round or a sailor collar of white or some contrasting material. The sleeves come to the elbow. The gown may be a one piece affair, but ordinarily it has a separate blouse and skirt. The blouse is generally cut on peasant lines. There is a patent arrangement by which a gore is set under the arm that gives plenty of play to that member. The skirt is cut moderately short for convenience. The gown illustrated here was of pale blue linen trimmed with white. The bodice was fastened at the left with large buttons, which were continued on the panel on the front of the skirt. A sailor collar, closing in a point in front, and turned back cuffs finished the blouse. A white chip hat trimmed with plumes, a rather more elaborate chapeau than most tennis girls choose, was worn with this frock. The costume would be equally suitable for walking, boating, croquet and golf. In fact, it is a good all round outdoor dress. RIBBON BANDEAUX. These Form an Important Part of the Evening Toilet. Seldom has there been a season when ornaments for the hair have been so pretty and so odd. The picture shows a charming effect in gilt ribbon drawn over a satin band and gathered at the side to form a loop rosette. It was designed by Ora Cne. There are many sorts of ribbon bandeaux and little flower wreaths. To [Image of a woman in profile, wearing a headpiece with flowers.] GILT RIBBON BANDEAU. wear with the bordered cotton volles, for example, with pink or blue in the banding, a chaplet of tiny pink buds or minute roses would be effective. If marquisette gowns are worn and these show a touch of green needlework wreathes of ivy leaves would be beautiful, while soft colored ribbons or tinseled bands would go with any white scheme. When buying the ribbon remember that the soft crushable weaves are all more becoming to the head than the stiff satin or grosgrain ones. A wide ribbon that can be folded, too, is far more becoming than a narrow one put on plain, for the plaiting and twists follow the undulations of the hair. Tinselled bands showing gleams of pale blue or wild rose pink under the gold threads and with two hairpin loops for fastening them on are sold in the shops. Wreaths of baby roses, leaves, wheat and field grasses and also the wide louisne ribbons are to be had. The Outdoor Girl Tennis, says the Woman's Home Companion, is a game which requires a great deal of bodily activity and produces a quick heart action, and a quick heart action necessitates deep breathing. Clothes which prevent deep breathing prevent both proper playing and keen enjoyment of the game. In other words, tight clothes should not be worn. Corsets which are so long as to impede free leg action are not fit for tennis, for a girl cannot run well without having free leg swing from the hips. Bloomers, a soft, unsturched duck or flannel waist and skirt, woolen stockings (to prevent foot soreness) and tennis shoes which fit snugly without being tight form the proper costume. The other two handicaps, inferior muscular development and slow nervous reaction, can be avoided, if not overcome. Inferior muscular development is inherent. But one of the beauties of tennis as a game is that it can be played without great strength. The player who depends upon speed and strength of shot alone is almost sure of defeat at the hands of the careful "place shot" player—she who, without either strength for smashes or great speed of ball, puts the returns where they just can't be reached. "Nervous reaction time" means the time which elapses between the will to do anything and the doing of it. Players who are slow in the nervous reaction time will start to run to get to the ball they see coming over the net a fraction of a second later than those who have a quick nervous reaction time. The slow thinkers will swing their racket at the ball too late, often hitting at it after it has gone by. But nervous reaction time as applied to tennis can be trained, just as the muscles can be trained. And there is no finer, quicker method of training than playing tennis with a brick or stone wall. If you can get the use of the side of a house with smooth ground near it draw a line three feet from the ground on the wall, representing the net, and proceed to "play the wall." Strive to make the ball hit the wall above the line. It will, of course, rebound to the ground. Hit it again. Hit it reasonably hard, so the return is swift. Hit it at various angles, so you have to run after the return. It is astonishing the improvement which a few hours of such practice will make in your game because of the increased "nervous reaction" speed. Correct Carriage. When you walk the whole body should be thrown into a state of mild tension, putting every muscle into vigorous, responsive action. It should be so perfectly balanced that every part does its work without strain. The abdominal muscles should hold in the stomach—quite possible even with the porty if they will but make the effort. The shoulder, hip and ankle joints should be upon a line, the chest held high and head erect, but not tipped back. The correct position of the head may be tested by holding a book upon the crown. In this position the body requires its greatest case, and every muscle performs a maximum of labor with a minimum of waste and consequent expenditure of force. Etiquette of Sports. In regard to the etiquette of sports, nearly every outdoor recreation is practiced under the guidance of formal rules that the fair minded sportswoman should scorn to neglect. But these rules must be supplemented by certain minor niceties of behavior that are not laid down in the fixed regulations. Courtesy and consideration for others are the underlying principles in every form of etiquette, and nowhere is it more necessary than in outdoor sports. What woman cares to ride or drive with a man who is not thoughtful for her comfort? What man or woman cares to play tennis or golf with a person who is rude or tricky in playings? And so on through all of the outdoor recreations. Cream For Sunburn. What a sunburned skin needs first of all is cream—not cold cream, but the real cream that is skimmed off milk. If you are fortunate enough to have more fresh cream than you need for the table put it in thick layers on your face. Possibly you will find buttermilk even more soothing. If your face is very sensitive and you feel that it should be washed, beat some milk, dissolve cornstarch in it, using enough milk to cover the cornstarch, and wash the face in this, letting the cornstarch dry on the face. Then wash off with warm water. Outing Hints. Select comfortable shoes for mountain climbing and a serviceable but lightweight skirt. Don gloves for gardening and motoring, even if they do feel hot, for grubby, blistered hands are never pretty to look upon. Keep the elbows from growing callous with exposure from elbow sleeves. Select a comfortable, lightweight shade hat that will shield the face for outings, one that can be rolled up in the trunk without damage and not be injured by rain or sun. Lesson II.—Third Quarter, For July 9, 1911. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Isa. III, 13 to IIII, 12—Memory Verses, IIII, 4-6—Golden Text, Isa. IIII, 6—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. Behold my servant, my righteous servant (iii, 13; liii, 11). This is what we must ever and always do in this blessed holy week, which is all written by the Holy Spirit and is forever settled in heaven (II Tim. iii, 16; II Pet. i, 21; Ps. cxix 80). Compare Isa. xiii 1; Matt. xii, 18; Zech. iii, 8. Hear John the Baptist's cry, "Behold the Lamb of God!" and see Him in this lesson described as if Isaiah had been a real witness of His sufferings. I am grateful to some one for calling my attention to the fact that these last twenty-seven chapters of Isaiah are divided into three nines, the first two ending with the statement that there is no peace to the wicked (xlviii, 22; lvii, 21). The lesson today is the middle portion of the second nine, and if we take the fifteen verses of our lesson as one portion, as we have a right to do, then chapter lili, 5, is the middle verse. What a great fact this is for us to ponder, that the middle verse of the middle chapter of the middle section of the last twenty-seven chapters of this great prophecy tells of His being wounded for our transgressions and that with His stripes we are healed. Here is the heart of the whole Bible and of all history, the one topic of conversation on the part of Moses and Elijah on the mount of transfiguration and the constant refrain of the songs of the redeemed in glory (Luke 1x, 31; Rev. v, 9). In I Pet. 4, 11, we read that the Spirit of Christ in the prophets testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ and the glory that should follow, and it was this very topic that He Himself opened up in that walk to Emmus on the afternoon of the resurrection day (Luke xxv, 25-27). At least ten of our lesson verses tell of His sufferings (III, 14; II, 2-10); the others and parts of these tell of His glory. As we read of His marred visage and form we see Him before Calphas and Pilate in the hands of his enemies. Other verses tell of His lonely life all those thirty years at Nazareth, the ill treatment during the three years of His public ministry and the sufferings of Gethsemane and Golgotha. This fifty-third chapter may prove to be largely Israel's national confession after they shall have looked upon Him coming in His glory and shall have received Him as their Messiah; but it is also for our individual appropriation now. We can each truthfully say if we are now His redeemed ones. Time was when by he He was desplaced and rejected, and I esteemed Him not, yet He bore my griefs and carried my sorrows; He was wounded for my transgressions, brushed for my iniquities, and with His stripes I am healed. Like a lost sheep I went astray, seeking only my own way, but the Lord laid on Him all my iniquity. We are not expected to understand the mystery of His sufferings, but we are expected to believe it all and, pleading guilty, receive Him as our personal Saviour. Only thus can the arm of the Lord be revealed to us, for we cannot know His power on our behalf except in Christ Jesus by virtue of His great sacrifice. In verse 9 note the prediction that His body would be laid in a rich man's tomb, although His enemies would prepare Him a grave as a malefactor, and we know how it all came to pass. Not only did He His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree, but He also left us an example that we might follow His steps, bearing reproach and suffering as meekly as He did (1 Pet. 11, 20-24). This we cannot do till we are redeemed by His precious blood; but then we are taught that it is a great privilege granted unto us to suffer for His sake and to fill up the afflictions which are behind for His body's sake (Phil. 1, 20; Col. 1, 24). To be silent before our enemies when falsely accused, when cruelly wronged and ill treated is a great victory and glorifying to God. He suffered shamefully for our sakes and bore it so meekly and patiently. We never can be called upon to suffer as He did, and yet we are so apt to complain when we have the least thing to bear that is disagreeable. We certainly have need of patience (Heb. x. 86; Col. 1. 11). See in lil. 10, His resurrection from the dead, for in what other way could one who died prolong his days. See also His future glory in lil. 13-15; lil. 10-12, when He shall be exalted and extolled and shall startle many nations (R. V., margin). He shall see the result of all His sufferings and shall be satisfied. Some one has said that while we wait for that time we should remember that He longs to see of the travail of His soul in us now. Since the pleasure of the Lord will always prosper in His hand, what can be more desired than to be in His hand for His pleasure (Jer. xvill. 6; Rev. iv. 11), content to be treated as He was if only we may glorify Him? Note the sayings, "His soul an offering for sin" and "poured out His soul unto death" (lilil. 10-12), and may His love so constrain us that we shall be willing to be poured out or cut off or suffer in any way for His sake.

The waste of war and the patriotism of peace were discussed in a sermon Sunday in Wesley M. E. church by Rev. Samuel M. Dick, Ph.D., pastor of the church. That peace is neither won nor saved by the sword was his statement. A portion of the sermon follows: "And he will judge between the nations and will decide concerning many peoples; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more."—Isaiah 2:1v. "This prophecy is beginning to reach its fulfillment. When the awful cost in life and treasure is reckoned with, it is astonishing that sensible civilized men should ever resort to war to settle any question. There is another reason apart from its destructive character why war should not be resorted to. It never settles any question. The best it can do is to restate it and put it in another form. Take for illustration the civil war in this country. Did it settle the race question? Did it settle the slavery problem? Not by any means, but if the amount of money that war cost us during its progress and for pensions since, had been expended among the colored people of this nation for industrial education and other civilizing agencies that race today would have been further advanced in the scale of progressige peoples than it will be 500 years from today under the existing circumstances." How far, learned Doctor, would they be advanced, if some of that money had been spent on the white race along those same lines? Do you not know that the Negro ranks first, among the progressive races? under the existing circumstances. The waiters who have been at the Rogers are not satisfied with the treatment they receive at the hands of their superior officers. It is supposed that these petty officers want their white friends and the "man with the money". Mr. Rogers wants Negro waiters. Since this is a known fact it appears that the white officers have objected to the good service as formerly "laid down" by the Negroes, and are using any schemes to have the most possible service which will in time hurt the colored boys. Of course this is done without Mr. Rogers' knowledge, and those who know of this condition, only complain after they are out of employment. There are the West, Nicollet, and National and other hotels, where our men are employed, and they live apparently comfortably on what they make. Yet we have so many who are afraid to state their grievances until on the outside. If the waiters of our race would only act as independently as the white waiters, and continue to give correct service when employed they would be more respected. They are employed because they make good by supplying a demand, where the white waiter is unequal to the task. While we have many headwaiters of our race in this city of whom we are proud, viz. Mr. John Scott of the West and Mr. John Elliott of the Nicollet, it is needless to say that Mr. Hollister of the National is a white employer who is most generallyliked, and he receives his share of praise from all of those who were and are employed by him. Why? Because he recognizes ability, appreciates manhood and respects in words and deeds the men who protect him in his position. "The CENSUS BUREAU officially certifies MINNEAPOLIS as the EALTHIEST CITY in the UNITED STATES." THE ELKS' SPECIAL AT 1:45 P. M. Good music and a pleasant evening is assured. Bring your friends and enjoy an evening of pleasure. Some of the St. James sisters are playing the "Travelling Row" and the Train and Moving Glgs. Rev. Wharton is going on a long journey. The Haytian appointment bubble has bursted. It was one of the old political schemes of the Republicans, a pre-election inventory, whereby the status of the Negro leaders can be determined. The Star is proud of Minnesota's choice, attorney Francis, a young man, who had the support of his entire state, and not a dissenting voice from among his people. Ex-Slave Sleeps With Former Owner The late Hon. Gideon Welles, who was secretary of the navy in the cabinet of Abraham Lincoln, made a request before his death that when Henry Green, his trusted servant, died he should be buried in the family plot in Hartford, Conn. Mr. Green, who lived to the age of eighty, died recently in East Orange, N. J. In accordance with Mr. Welles' request his body was taken to Hartford and interred in the Welles plot. FACTOR IN CIVILIZATION. How Colored Americans Have Indirectly Aided Nation's Uplift. Peteely Aided Nation's Spirit. Speaking of the contribution of the colored race to American civilization, Lawyer B. S. Smith of Minneapolis, Minn., says: "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 Summer 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 developments—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." ASKS EQUAL OPPORTUNITY FOR COLORED SOLDIERS None Named In List For Promotion In Regular Army. The Rev. Dr. J. Milton Waldron, pastor of the Shiloah Baptist church in Washington and organizer for the National Independent Political league, recently addressed the following open letter to President William H. Taft; President William Howard Taft. Executive Mansion, Washington. Dear Sir--Permit me on my own behalf and on behalf of the National Independent Political league to thank you for the stand you take against race prejudice in the army of the United States, of which you are commander in chief. Both myself and the league I represent stand for equal rights and opportunities for all American citizens, and we feel it our duty to stand for the men of men who stand for the same principle. We would beg to remind your excellency of the race prejudice which now exists and has existed for more than forty years against the colored men in the army and navy of the United States and to appeal to you as the commander of the land and naval forces of our country to use your influence and good offices in helping to ban this hydra headed monster from the army and navy of our beloved country. You will agree with me that the United States has no more loyal, brave, competent and self-sacrifice soldiers than the colored men who have been and who are now enlisted in the army of this country, in the four colored regiments have ever been, in the regular army as commissioned officers, and the examination of enlisted men for promotion to the position of second lieutenant in the regular army which you have ordered and which appeared in the public press June 9 does not contain the name of any such soldier we seen the name of any such soldier in any list for examination which has been ordered by you since your incumbency of the office of chief executive of the nation. We cannot believe that you mean to be a party to race prejudice in the United States army, nor do we believe that in the United States army there are no enlisted men who are capable of passing the examination for second leutenant. It must be that your failure to order such men before the examining board of the army for promotion is an oversight, and we believe you simply need to have this matriculation. We must be in the future give colored soldiers as well as soldiers of Jewish or Hebrew extraction the same opportunity afforded white soldiers. Yours for equal rights and opportunities for all American citizens, and DRON and Pastor Shilohah Babist Church and National Organizer the National Independent Political League.
