Each number was especially commendable. The occasion was the best ever given and the patrons and friends of the venerable editor were profuse in their expressions of best wishes for future successes. Gov Eberhart paid the Negroes a glowing tribute and promised to do what he could to assist the management of the Negro National Educational Congress. He approved of the Convention. Said he was glad they accepted his invitation to come here, and compliment Dr. J. R. White on his work for the Congress. He said that we should make it a grand afair. The humorous skit of C. H. Miller and Miss Gladys Wright at the Appeal celebration was nicely staged and cleverly acted. Mrs. B. C. Archer assisted at the piano. Really Charlie Miller is a high class versatile comedian—without make-up — and one never knows what he is going to pull off. Miss Wright is a bright comedienne with a remarkable voice and adaptability. We refrained from comment on the rest of the program, but Charlie deserves this.

FROM PORTER TO BUSINESS MAN BELIEVES IN A SQUARE DEAL Former Texas Boy Who by Persistence, Thrift and Economy Has Accumulated Considerable Wealth. Served In Many Capacities Before Launching Out For Himself. New York.—Among the successful business men of the race who have attained eminence in their respective fields of endeavor is James C. Thomas, the efficient and well known undertaker in New York. Mr. Thomas has one of the largest and best equipped undertaking establishments in the country, located in One Hundred and Thirty-fourth street, in the heart of the Harlem section of the city. Mr. Thomas' undertaking establishment has become one of the show places of the metropolis. The proprietor, who stands high in the business and professional world, tells a vivid JAMES C. THOMAS. story of the hard struggle which he had in working up to his present position in business. Mr. Thomas was born in Harrisburg, Tex., and went at an early age to Galveston, Tex., where he received his common school education and spent his early manhood days. As a young man he was always anxious to make his mark and began his rise in the world by working as porter and waiter on the steamboats. Twenty years ago he took up residence in New York and found work in the hotels for some time. For eleven years he worked as a steward in a fashionable club of New York and by strict economy saved enough money to enter business. While working in this capacity he resolved to become an undertaker and entered the Echols School of Embalming, from which he graduated in 1896. He opened his first undertaking establishment at 493 Seventh avenue, where he proved himself to be an efficient and capable undertaker. He was among the first of the race to enter the field in New York and by square and honest methods has built up a splendid business. The growth of Mr. Thomas' business necessitated larger and more commodious quarters. Three years ago he moved into his new establishment on One Hundred and Thirty-fourth street, which is valued at $24,000 and contains every convenience. It is well appointed, with offices and a large, spacious chapel. Mr. Thomas has ample facilities for the successful carrying on of his business. Besides his prominence in business he is active in many other directions, being identified with several race movements. He is a member of the executive committee of the National Negro Business league and at the recent session of the league in Little Rock was one of the speakers. Mr. Thomas is also a prominent lodge man. When asked to what he attributed his success in business he replied: "I owe my success to honest dealing and being prompt. I am fond of my business and believe that the only way to make a success is to be honest and square and prompt. I owe a great deal of my success to my wife, Mrs. Thomas, who assists me in the business and who is an experienced undertaker and embalmer." Besides the beautiful city residence of Mr. Thomas in New York, he owns a fine country home at Fairfield, Conn. The items from the classes, make the news of the masses. Read the Twin City Star.

Miss Ida Dorsey, known as Mary Callahand of 212 11th Ave. So., has hrought suit in district court against the estate of the late Carlton Pillsbury, deceased, for $6,100 for board and lodging which she asserts she furnished him and for care and nursing which she says she gave him on several occasions at his request. Miss Callahand first made the claim for this amount in probate court March 31, 1911, but the claim was disallowed by Judge George R. Smith. August 14 the woman appealed to the district court, and Monday the case was placed upon the calendar by Judge John Day Smith. The bill as presented by Miss Callahand is, "For board and lodging from April 22, 1908, to August 22, 1909, continuously except for not more than 3 months at $200 per month, $4,600; for caring for and nursing Carlton Pillsbury at his request, within the months of July and September, 1908, March, 1909, and December to March, 1910, $1,500; total, $6,100." Carlton Pillsbury was the son of one of the wealthy flour mill owners, and this case is parallel to that of Hannah Elias of New York, who after much litigation retained possession of the Platt estate.

Fleming, who is now a member of the city council, serving as one of the councilmen at large, was again nominated from a field of seventeen candidates as one of six councilmen at large upon the Republican ticket. This is the third successive time the Republicans of Cleveland have nominated Mr. Fleming for councilman at large, which is a distinct honor. He is the first colored man to serve as a member of the city council of Cleveland, being nominated and elected two years ago, and he is the only one to serve as councilman at large in the state of Ohio. Mr. Fleming has been prominent in Ohio politics for years and is now serving his third term as a member of the Ohio Republican state executive committee. He was elected as an alternate delegate to United States Senator T. E. Burton to represent the Twenty-first district of Ohio in the last national Republican convention. Mr. Fleming is a lawyer and prominent in the social life of Cleveland. He has been prominently mentioned for a position in Washington. H. C. SMITH FOR DELEGATE. Civic Interests Association of Cleveland Working Hard For Him. Cleveland.—The Citizens' Association of Civic Interests has been organized by negro voters, primarily to secure the nomination of Harry C. Smith as a delegate to the constitutional convention.

The new association plans to hold meetings in various parts of the city and advance Smith's candidacy. A committee consisting of James R. Snyder, Benjamin Douglass and Charles S. Sutton has been appointed to assist Smith in taking out nomination papers and to arrange for booming his campaign. THEATRICAL LIFE AMONG AFRO-AMERICANS NOTED. Bert A. Williams' Success Pointed to as Worthy Example. BY LESTER A. WALTON. Whenever the theatrical situation of today relative to the colored performer is made the chief topic of conversation invariably those engaged in discussion make a comparison of present conditions with those of the past, which usually brings forth pessimistic utterances, full grown sighs and gloomy expressions not calculated to put one in good cheer. I, too, have often shaken my head significantly and have found myself in low spirits whenever the subject was brought up in my presence for consideration, but recent events have caused me to shake my head less as well as sigh less vigorously, neither do I utter as many murmurs of discontent, when speaking of the colored amusement world. So busily engaged have we been within the last year or so bemoaning the dark aspect of the colored show business that we have unconsciously got into the habit of looking at things out of blue spectacles only. Many of us have failed to pay particular attention to the steps of progress several of our colored artists have been making lately. If a New York playgoer was asked to tell who was the biggest hit in all the summer shows produced in the metropolis during the torrid season the answer would surely be Bert A. Williams. Although Mr. Williams is traveling with a large white production and may not be so closely associated with members of his race, he reflects great credit on the race of which he is a member. No colored performer has ever reached the position now occupied by Bert Williams. As the real star of a large Broadway production he is certainly a bigger man individually today than when a member of the famous team of Williams and Walker. He is now playing in theaters in which it was never possible for Williams and Walker to secure booking. So if it is true that races are nowadays elevated by the work and success of individuals and not so much by the efforts of the masses then the height reached by Bert A. Williams in the theatrical world is not alone his success, but that of the Negro. That he is not the star of a colored organization is deeply deplored by hundreds of citizens of color, but it must not be overlooked that conditions at this time warrant his actions in becoming connected with a white production.

It was "Will it live?" It is "Watch it grow!" Lesson XIII.—Third Quarter, For Sept. 24, 1911. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Dan. vi, 10-23, Memory Verses, 21-23—Golden Text, Ps. xxxiv, 7—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. These historical lessons from the book of Daniel are most fascinating and most practically helpful, inasmuch as the God of Daniel and his friends is none other than our Lord Jesus Christ, who is the same yesterday, today and forever and always ready to hold strongly with all whose hearts are wholly for Him, not keeping us from trials, but manifesting His presence with us in the trial and bringing us through to His glory. Men and women who believe God were never more needed than now. Oh, for a testimony such as was given concerning Daniel, even by his enemies! We shall not find any occasion against him, except we find it concerning the law of his God (verses 4, 5). Knowing something of his habit of prayer, they asked the king to sign a decree that no one should ask a petition of any god or man save Darius for thirty days under penalty of being cast to the lions. Although Daniel knew the decree had been signed, he kept on as aforetime, kneeling upon his knees in prayer three times a day, with his windows open toward Jerusalem, remembering I Kings viii, 47-49. His enemies did not need to watch long in order to catch him in their net, and the king was promptly informed that "that Daniel of the captivity of Judah regardeth not thee, O king, nor the decree that thou hast signed" (verse 13). If the king had not before seen the design of his presidents and princes against Daniel he saw it now and was sore displeased, not with Daniel, but with himself that he had not seen through this plot before signing the decree. He labored in vain to deliver his prime minister, whom he evidently esteemed and loved, but even the law of God, which is holy and just and good, cannot save any one, much less this law of the Medes and Persians, which was only a great iniquity. Our deliverance from the condemnation of the holy law of God is accomplished only by a sinless person taking the place of the guilty and suffering in our stead (II Cor. v, 21; Rom. iii, 19-24; x. 4). We do not read that Darius so loved Daniel that he gave himself for him and went to the den of lions in his stead, but we do read just that virtually of Jesus Christ (I Pet. ii. 24; Gal. ii. 20, l. c.). Daniel was cast to the lions (probably not very gently), a stone laid upon the mouth of the den and sealed with the signet of the king and his lords. Imagine the rejoicing on the part of his enemies because they were now rid of him, and no doubt they ridiculed the God of Daniel who could not deliver him from the lions nor from their power. After a night of sleeplessness and fasting very early in the morning the king is found at the den of lions calling aloud to Daniel if perchance he may still be alive. Surely Darius must have learned something of the power of Daniel's God to be able to imagine such a thing possible and to encourage him as he did on his way to the den. With what joy and gratitude the king must have heard the voice of Daniel and the words, "My God hath sent His angel and hath shut the lions' mouths that they have not hurt me" (22). So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no manner of hurt was found upon him because he believed in his God (23). Thus shall it be in the morning of the first resurrection. No matter what the saints have suffered here in their mortal bodies, the resurrection body will be perfect, for we shall be like Him (I John iii, 2). The accusers of Daniel were then cast into the den of lions, with their wives and children, and there was no deliverance for them. As to the righteous and the wicked, we read in Ps. xlix, 14, that the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning. Study the morning deliverances of Scripture, but note that there will be no morning for the enemies of God (Isa. vili, 20, R. V.). In verses 25 to 27 see how by a worldwide decree the living God, the God of Daniel, was magnified. How telling are the words in verse 28, "So this Daniel prospered," and according to the last sentence in his book we shall find him in his appointed place in the kingdom—that kingdom under the whole heaven which is to be given to the people of the saints of the Most High, when all dominions shall serve and obey Him (Dan. vii, 27). That will be after-or in connection with the overthrow of all the kingdoms of this world, as set forth in Dan. ii and vii. The great, self exalting, God defying antichrist shall come to his end, and none shall help him (Dan. xi, 36-38, 45). Then shall "the stone" without human aid break in pieces the world powers and fill the earth with a kingdom of peace and righteousness, and the enemies of the Lord shall perish as truly as did Daniel's enemies (Dan. 11, 84, 35-44; vil, 9-14; II Thess. 1, 7-10). The Messiah has been cut off without receiving His kingdom, but at the end of the seventieth week everlasting righteousness shall be the portion of Daniel's people (Dan. ix, 24-27; Isa. ix, 21; xxll, 1-17; Jer. xxll, 5, 0). T W I N C I T Y S T A R CONFERENCE FOR NEGRO PASTORS But Further Discussion of the Moral, Civil, Spiritual and Sociological Condition of the Race Is Needed For Practical Uplift, Which Can Best Be Done Through Religious Channels. BY GEORGE F. KING. Durham, N. C.-Hundreds of colored people in touch with the masses of the race attended the recent summer school and Chautauqua of the National Religious Training school, this city. This is the only movement of its kind among Negroes, and its officials are men of both races from various sections of the country. The spirit of the Chautauqua was for the uplift of the Negroes who were envisioned to their detriment. The lectures and the other departments, featuring such well known preachers as Dr. Jesse C. Massese of Chattanooga, Tenn.; Dr. W. Y. Chapman of Newark, N. J.; Dr. Jesse L. Hurlburt, one of the leading authorities in America on the Bible; Bishop Kilgo, Durham; Professor Kelly Miller, Washington, Dr. Jesse Johnson, Xenia, O., and Dr. D. Webster Davis, Richmond, kindled the minds and hearts of hundreds of the race, who received a new educational value and experienced a newness that gave them a determination to dwell amid the most monotonous surroundings to triumph over certain conditions making a large number of their race parasites upon society. Settlement work is a new feature among the educational activities of the Afro-American folk, and this institution is the pioneer in such a needed work for the Negro's good. The teachers and preachers were given lectures on sanitary chemistry, and during the six weeks of the summer school and Chautauqua excursions were made to various sections of the city that afforded the members of the settlement party an opportunity to do real settlement work among their people. The good accomplished by such excursions will undoubtedly become a potent factor in a large number of cities, towns and a large section of the rural districts, in the south especially. The Negro that helps to make up the undesirable element in the north and gives that section a phase of the problem found in the south was discussed, and the outcome of such discussions and investigations on the part of student body directed by the president of the institution and a number of prominent northern and southern men of both races has caused greater activity among those attending the school to better the sociological conditions of their race in their respective communities and made it imperative for the following call, signed by Dr. James E. Shepard, founder and president of the school: "To the ministers of the United States: At the request of many who are interested in the development of the race along all lines I have been asked to call a conference of the colored ministers of the United States at the National Religious Training school, in the city of Durham, N. C., July 6, 1912. "This conference is for the purpose of discussing the moral, civil and spiritual condition of the Negro, to study sociological problems and to devise some means of working along practical lines for the uplift of the race, especially through religious channels. We realize that the colored minister is the real leader of his people and that there should be co-operation between him and all others who are striving for the racial uplift. We believe that the colored minister holds the real key to the situation, and for this reason we desire to have a heart to heart conference of all the ministers, irrespective of denominations. "Such practical questions as these will be discussed: What is the moral condition of the people in your community? What is the sanitary condition? What effort, if any, has been made to improve the sanitary conditions? Is crime on the increase? If not, what was the cause of its reduction? To what extent do you co-operate with the Civic Improvement leagues? Has settlement work to any extent been conducted in your community and, if so, with what results? Many kindred subjects will be discussed. "The National Religious Training school invites all ministers to be their guests for one week, so that you will be at no expense while in the city of Durham. The railroad will be asked to co-operate in this movement to the extent of making very liberal rates. Durham is regarded as one of the most progressive cities in the country, and it will be a pleasure and a benefit for you to come and see what your own race is actually doing in Durham. "All ministers who contemplate attending this conference are requested to make same known by Jan. 1, 1912, so that arrangements can be made for their accommodation. We will also be glad to have any practical suggestions that you may see fit to make, and they will be carefully considered." The regular school term begins next month with a higher standard and a faculty composed of well known pedagogues from leading institutions of learning.

MORRIS SEES BRIGHT FUTURE Urges Patience In Working Out Problems of the Race. Leader of Great National Baptist Convention Delivers Optimistic Address Before Thousands — Recommends Standing Committee to Secure Equal Justice For All. By N. BARNETT DODSON. Pittsburg—Thousands of delegates and visitors were in attendance when the first session of the great national Baptist convention was called to order in Luna Park, this city, on Wednesday morning, Sept. 13. The session was opened with a chorus of a thousand volces, led by the Rev. N. H. Pius of Nashville, Tenn. Addresses of welcome were delivered on behalf of the state by Governor John K. Tener, on behalf by the city by Mayor McGee and on behalf of the ministers' conference by the Rev. Dr, H. W. Childs, pastor of the Calvary Baptist church. The feature of the afternoon session was the annual address of the president, the Rev. Dr.-E. C. Morris. During the delivery of the president's address Vice President W. G. Parks of Philadelphia presided. President Morris' address was listened to with marked attention by the great throng as he reviewed the work of the several departments. His recommendations were timely and farreaching. Dr. Morris in part: I most heartily congratulate this convention upon the wonderful progress it has made in the sixteen years just past, a progress which cannot be fully realized unless care is taken to consider the disorganized condition of the Negro Baptists prior to that time. You have not only brought the Baptists of the United States together and caused them to look upon the progress of the organization around which all smaller Baptist organizations delight to rally, but you have succeeded in bringing under your banner the Baptists of the world. When we think of the vast army so cheerfully following your lead in matters of religion—an army which, conservative and religious, is the centre race in this country—the respon- [Name] REV. DR. H. W. CHILDS. bilities of your high calling become appalling, for you are to lead not only in matters of religion, but you are to direct in all things which go to build up a race just forty-six years from cruel bondage. The distance which the race has come is very great, but the distance it has yet to go in order to fully receive all the habiliments of a well rounded race life is still greater. A ministers of the gospel and representatives of a great church organization you necessarily believe in the inspired word of God, and, looking through the heaven built lens, you cannot fall to see a bright future for this once despised race. We believe that "Jesus shall reign where'er the sun Loth his successive journeys run, and when the reign is made complete, as it is now, he will enjoy all other creatures of earth will be free from the hand of the oppressor, and every man will enjoy equal and exact justice from the powers that be. It may not seem an easy matter to wait on the Lord when your ambitious spirits are clamoring for rights that are inalienable, yet it is far better to wait upon him. It is not the duty of the Egyptian government to relax its hold upon an innocent and inoffensive race and give to it the right of self government, a right which is due to every people of earth, he equipped an irresistible army of frogs, which he sent in solid phalanx against the kingdom and compelled its surrender. And in due time in own way he will settle all differences and inequalities which exist in our country. Christianity—and I mean that Christianity which lifts its head above Jesus Christ, above the narrow, selfish views of men, and teaches that “of one blood God hath created all men”—is the only means of bringing about the accomplishment of the salvation among men because, race, color or condition. That these things will come no one need doubt, for the honor of Jesus and the glory of his cause are at stake, while the armies of heaven are at his command to see that he is fully acknowledged and universally proclaimed Lord of the whole earth. After many unjust and almost unbearable proscriptions. In many sections of our country we are forced to bear a part of the burden in support of the government by the payment of taxes and meantime are deprived of the ordinary rights of citizens, forced to pay first class fare on common carriers of the country and in return receive secondary taxes. In these conditions will not always prevail, and to those who would be unnecessarily impatient or dismayed I would ask the question that Sojourner truth asked Frederick Douglass “is God dead?” Already there is an undercurrent senti- ment beginning to assert itself which emphasizes that from the very foundation of this government the black man had been as loyal and patriotic in peace and in war as any class of citizens dwelling under the flag and that history is yet to record a single act of violence committed by him in the days of slavery, when the opportunity was most inviting for such depradations. Our Relations to Civic Interests OUR Relations to Civic Interests. The national Baptist convention being the largest and most representative body of the church, the need of necessity gives some consideration to civic matters. The very large number of prominent laymen in our churches, some of them being the leaders of the people in various walks of life, who have followed the guidance of their ministers without questioning the course pursued, are now beginning to ask, What are the great and important challenges we must build up going to do toward bettering the condition of the masses of the people? It has been suggested, and rightly so, I think, that the influence of this convention should be felt in securing for our race such legislation and such judicial and executive action, both state and national, that would give fair opportunity as citizens, but not from narrow political or partisan standpoint. The president of this convention is of the opinion that a standing committee of nine persons should be appointed by this organization, three of whom should be ministers and six laymen, whose duty it is to preside in theple in every part of the country and report its findings at each meeting of the national Baptist convention, four members of the committee to hold over and five to be appointed at each subsequent meeting. I would suggest that such a committee be located at the capital of the nation and the capital of the country to the memorials from this body to the president of the United States. WANT RIGHTS AFFORDED THEM BY CONSTITUTION League at Boston Says "Muckets of Daddies" Earned Them. Boston.—The text of the call issued to the people at large for the fair treatment of the Negro at the convention of the National Independent Political league at Boston is, in part, as follows: The National Independent Political league in fourth annual session at the citadel of American freedom, organized by colored American citizens to secure for them equal rights under the constitution, especially the enforcement of the fruits of the war for freedom—the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the constitution—and to foster equal opportunities for all regardless of race or color, declares to the country from the "cradle of liberty" the following: We believe that the honor, welfare and security of this republic depend upon the abolition of race and color prejudice and color discrimination in citizenship and the life of the people. We demand only all those rights and opportunities enjoyed by all other people of the land and absolute equality for all under the law. The reputation and well being of any racial class are vitally affected by the press. The colored people suffer an unfair disadvantage from this course by the ignoring or minimizing of meritorious acts and achievements and the emphasizing of the color in all matters that reflect discredit. The denial of the right to earn one's bread by the sweat of one's brow because of race or color is a violation of the most fundamental principles of humanity. Nothing is more inconsistent than that for labor, seeking rights and control of the labor market, to draw the color line. We commend such labor unions as are open to all workers and condemn those guilty of color discrimination as hostile to the real interests of labor and enemies to mankind. In view of the extraordinary and alarming state of affairs, we demand of the federal government, in the interest of justice, equal rights and the security of the country: First.—The enforcement of the constitution, to stop disfranchisement and peonage. Second.—The passage of a federal anti-jimcrow car law for interstate passengers. Third.-Federal aid to education, with the same schooling for all. Fourth.-The restoration of the discharged Brownsville soldiers. Fifth.-Legislation making lynching a capital offense under federal jurisdiction. We further declare our opposition to any repeal of federal supervision of federal elections in the direct election of the United States senators. We urge the colored men of the country to use the ballot where possessed as a weapon of self defense for all their race, to be subservient to no political party, but to vote independently for men and measures, using their suffrage and making alliances with a view to securing equal rights and opportunities for colored citizens. Colored people of America, determined to have justice and equality in this land of our birth, saved by the muskets of our fathers, let our slogan be-agitate, educate, organize, ever remembering that "eternal vigilance is the price of liberty" and that "he who would be free must himself first strike the blow." National Baptist Convention. National Baptist Convention. A delegation of forty Indianapolis colored Baptists will attend the national Baptist convention, to be held Sept. 13 to 19 at Pittsburg. The organization takes in all Baptist churches in the United States and includes missions in Africa, South America, Panama, Haiti and on several islands. The Rev. E. C. Morris of Little Rock, Ark., is president of the convention. The Revs. G. W. Ward of Mount Zion Baptist church and M. M. Porter of Bloomington will represent Indiana on the national program. The delegation will be in charge of the Rev. G. W. Ward of Indianapolis. 一 WORK OF GEORGIA STATE COLLEGE Brief Sketch of Career and Work of Major R. R. Wright, Who Coined the Phrase "Tell Them We Are Rising." His Success as Educator and Business Man. BY CLEVELAND G. ALLEN. Macon, Ga.-The Georgia State college, located at Savannah, of which Major R. R. Wright is president, is doing effective work for the moral and educational uplift of the young colored men and women of the south. The school, which is a branch of the University of Georgia, has an industrial, normal and collegiate course which compares favorably in curriculum with the best schools of the south. The Georgia State college, located as it is in the heart of the black belt region of the state, is a center of influence in the community. It is situated on a splendid campus, with a property valuation of $150,000 and fifteen well equipped buildings. The graduates who have come from the school have made their mark in the world of education and occupy prominent positions in national affairs. Among the successful graduates of the Georgia State college are Professor L. P. Thompson, superintendent of industries at the school; Professor W. H. A. Howard of Tallahassee college; Professor W. M. Nelson of the A. and M. college at Greensboro; Professor R. R. Wright, Jr., who has made a high reputation as a sociologist and journalist; Professor N. W. Collier, principal of the Florida Baptist college, and Henry Lincoln Johnson, recorder of deeds in Washington. The faculty of the college is composed of well known colored educators, who are specialists in their lines and represent such well known institutions as the University of Chicago, Lincoln and Atlanta universities. The success of the school is due in a large measure A. B. MAJOR R. R. WRIGHT. to the energy and renown of its president, Major R. R. Wright, who enjoys a national reputation as an educator. He has been president of the school for twenty years, during which time over 5,000 students have been in attendance. He is a graduate of Atlanta university and was a member of the famous class of 1876. He studied at Harvard and Chicago universities. Major Wright has traveled abroad extensively and while abroad studied at Leipzig university. He has been more or less prominent in national affairs and was paymaster in the United States army under President McKinley's administration. It was President Wright who forty years ago sent the following message to the north: "Tell them we are rising." Major Wright is also president of the Georgia state industrial fair, which is to be held in Macon from Nov. 8 to 18, inclusive. These state industrial fairs have become an interesting part of the public life of the people of the south and are looked forward to with much delight by the farmers and other citizens. Speaking of the effective work of the Georgia industrial fair, President Wright makes the following statement: "The chief object of these state fairs is to encourage helpful and honorable rivalry among the farmers of the state. The fairs have been going on for the last six years and have spent in the furtherance of their work about $100,000. We give employment annually to from eighty-five to a hundred people. A feature of these fairs has been the exhibits which have become the marvel of the colored and white citizens of the state. "We hope to have a colored aviator at the fair this year, who will give a three days' exhibition." Colored Army Officer Retired. Washington—Major John R. Lynch, ranking colored officer in the United States army, has been retired. He is sixty-four years old and is transferred automatically to the retired list. He was appointed a paymaster in the volunteer army by President McKinley in the Spanish-American war. His record is flawless. He represented Mississippi in congress during three terms. Cookery Points Remove the outer leaves of two or three firm heads of red cabbage. Shave them fine, put in a large bowl and sprinkle over a good handful of salt for each head; mix well with the salt, cover and let stand twenty-four hours, then drain in a colander. For three heads of cabbage boil one gallon of vinegar with a pound of sugar, adding to this four large onions chopped fine, three bruised cloves of garlic, one ounce of whole peppers, one-half ounce of whole cloves, the same of mace, two tablespoonfuls of celery seed and a little cayenne. Bowl slowly half an hour, remove and when cold strain the vinegar through a napkin; return it to the fire, let it get boiling hot, put the cabbage in a stone jar, pour over the scalding hot vinegar and when cold cover the jar and tie paper over the top. This cabbage may also be rinsed with cold water and served sometimes with a French dressing as slaw. Carrot Pickles Scrape and wash six medium sized carrots, cut them in lengthwise slices and, laying one over the other, cut them down into small strips as for soup. Boll them three minutes in salt water, drain in a colander and set aside to cool. Cut the same way six green tomatoes in slices and fine strips, also three large white onions, one big red pepper and three sour apples. Put the tomatoes, onions, red pepper and apples into a bowl, sprinkle over salt and let them stand twelve hours. Then drain off the water and put all the ingredients into a kettle with one cup of sugar and two tablespoonfuls of celery seed tied up in muslin. Add sufficient vinegar barely to cover materials and boil two minutes. Then mix one tablespoonful of English mustard with a little vinegar and stir it into the rest; put into small well closed jars and set in a cool place. Sweet Gherkin Pickles Fill a tub with salt water strong enough to bear up an egg. Put gherkins not over a finger long in this and let them stand nine days. Take them out and harden them by letting them stand in fresh cold water for several hours; then spread them out on a folded tablecloth to free them of moisture. Pack them in glass quart jars, fill with cold vinegar and set them aside for three weeks in a cool place. Then open the jars, drain off the vinegar and to that of each jar add one cupful of sugar, one-half teaspoonful of extract of mace and the same of extract of cloves and cinnamon and cayenne pepper to taste. Stir until the sugar is dissolved, pour the liquid over the pickles, close the jars and set in a cool place. Dill Pickles. Select good sized but tender cucumbers, wash and place them for several hours in cold water, drain and place them in a stone jar with dill between. Then boll water and salt, allowing for each quart two heaping tablespoonfuls of salt; boll dive minutes, remove and when perfectly cold fill the jar to overflowing with the brine; then close it and set in a cool place. If the jar is not quite full place a small saucer or a bit of board, with a stone on top, over the cucumbers to keep them under the brine. These are delicious with a beer supper, and cucumbers so prepared are also considered very wholesome. Potato Salad. Slice cold boiled potatoes and put a layer in a salad dish; cover with thin slices of hard boiled eggs and strew with bits of pickled onion; when the dish is full pour over them a dressing made in the proportion of one tablespoonful of vinegar to three of salad oil, one spoonful of salt to half as much pepper and the same quantity of made mustard; beat up well before pouring over the salad; let all stand ten minutes or more before serving. Spinach and Cream. Pick the stalks from the spinach, wash well and boil well in a stewpan with a little salt; boil until very tender; season with nutmeg and two ounces of fresh butter; stir it over a fire until quite warm, then add a gill of cream, two parts of butter and a dessertspoonful of pounded sugar; work the whole over the fire and dish up the spinach, putting it in the center of the dish. Garnish with croutons and serve. "My Salmon Crayotes." Take the fish from the smallest size can of salmon, free it from bone and skin, mince it fine, add four good sized boiled potatoes mashed into the fish while they are still hot, the beaten yolk of one egg, salt and pepper. Set aside until cold, then stir in the stiffly beaten yolk of the egg and mold into croquettes. Roll in breadcrumbs and set aside for a couple of hours before frying in deep fat. Serve with a white sauce. A Pointer For Pie. Never set a pie on a flat surface when removing from the oven. Use a flatiron stand or wire teapot stand. This prevents steamed, soaked and soggy under pie crust. Three table forks placed so that the tines meet in one point in the center will let the air circulate under when one has not the stands.

There has been more than 1,000 depositors registered at the Postal Savings Bank in St. Paul—one tenth of the depositors were Negroes. Referring to our article of last issue under the caption of "A Notorious Dive" we will again give notice that we will continue to print the news about Curley's place or any other without fear of intimidation, and deal fairly with all whose affairs come within the scope of public discussions. It is our duty to inform our readers for their personal welfare and the general social welfare of the community. Such is our mission, founded on these principles, which we will follow and defend, without hesitation, and fearless of factions or individuals. There is no people in the world which more quickly recognizes and appreciates the qualities of frankness and sincerity, whether they are exhibited in a friend or in an opponent, in a white man or in a black man, than the white people of the South. I have found that there is a class that has gained a good deal of fleeting popularity for possessing what was supposed to be courage in cursing and abusing all classes of Southern white people on all possible occasions. But as I have watched the careers of this class of Negroes in practically every case their popularity and influence with the masses of colored people have not been lasting. Booker T. Washington in the World's Work. WHAT CONSTITUTES A SUB- SCRIBER? 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. Minneapolis, Minn. Editor J. Q. Adams, The Appeal. Dear sir: The Star congratulates you on your Quarto-Centennial Anniversary as Editor of the Appeal—and the large attendance of your many patrons, and splendid program presented by them, expressed their true friendship and good wishes. Although in your editorial columns we have disagreed, we have always maintained a bond of friendship. The columns of your publication reflect the "whiteness of your soul;" your loyalty to principle and consciousness of both private and public duty at the cost of self-sacrifice—have overcome obstacles and even a good name at home and abroad, giving to the race a newspaper of whose history they are proud, and to posterity a character worthy of emulation. Wishing that future years may bring health in your home, and contentment in your sanctum, Believe me Sincerely, Chas. Sumner Smith, Publisher. PILGRIM NOTES. The Harvest Home Festival, the grandest social event in the history of Pilgrim closed last Friday evening in a blaze of glory. It was a success from every point of view. The District members korked together as a unit and everything was systematically conducted, our members became better acquainted and things ran so smoothly until even the most timid among the workers are anxious to be doing something. We shall clear a nice little sum of money and with the experience and education gleaned from this undertaking we feel encouraged to do much for his cause. The Tom Thumb Wedding, Master Reginald Johnson as Groom, and Miss E. Ashworth, as bride. Master Samuel Stevens acting as Parson, Misses Jordan as bridesmaid and Master Earl Roach as best man, as they marched to the strains of the wedding march, was beautiful beyond description, and worth going many miles to see. The Bride and Groom acted with becoming dignity and the Minister did his stunt in an effective manner. The house was packed to overflowing, directly after the wedding our auctioneer W. T. Francis sold everything left of the Harvest Home Festival to bargain hunters, including the very choicest vegetables from the State Fair Exhibit down to a sanitary roller towel. Everything was sold and every purchaser was satisfied, knowing that they were receiving more than full value for their money. If our church could do so well with only half its District working, what might we have done collectively. Surely the effort is worth while, and there is every reason why it should be so, for the tenanimity of thought and action, applicable in church work equally as much so, as any other part of our loss reminds us forcibly that we should at all times strive to do the greatest good to the greatest numbers. Therefore it becomes our duty as Christians working together, under his banner to come into closer touch with each other, thereby getting better acquainted, developing the essential things in Christian work, viz. Unity, which after all will prove to be one of the most valuable assets that Pilgrim ever possessed. Harmony, that magic word, means everything in every branch of service, and in every walk of life. It is the open door to the spiritual as well as temporal things which go to make up life. Therefore, aside from being a success, financially, we feel proud of the fact that the spirit of cordiality and Christian interest manifested in each other doubly rewards us for the sacrifice made in arranging this Entertainment. We thank the Merchants and Citizens for their generosity in giving to this worthy cause. We thank the citizens and members for their splendid support. Our district workers for their untiring zeal in pushing forward this work. We feel encouraged to greater efforts, henceforth than ever before. Long live the Harvest Home Festival, and that noble band of Christian workers. Many thanks to District No. 1 and No. 2, their officers and members, and Bilken. Geo. W. Wills, President W. P. Hough. GEE? but you're glad to see a paper from your home town, when you're in a big city, that's why the Twin City Star is popular. All of our representatives when abroad can point with pride to the news from home—The Star—the paper that placed the people of the Twin Cities before the public. A NEGRO INVENTOR. Mr. Chas. W. Brown, now of Milwaukee was the Negro student of the class of the School of Mechanical Engineering which has been giving high class demonstrations on their wireless airship. No mention of his racial identity has been given in the daily papers of that city. Mr. Brown showed marked inventive genius and literary ability while in this city, and was an active church and social worker.
