MINNEAPOLIS DULUTH THE TWIN CITY STAR ST.PAUL MINNESOTA HISTORICAL Defective Page Naval Hero Dies Suddenly on Street at New York. ADMIRAL SCHLEY STRICKEN Famous Naval Hero Dies Suddenly at New York. New York, Oct. 3.—Rear Admiral Winfield Scott Schley fell dead near the corner of Forty-fourth street and Fifth avenue while on his way down town. Admiral Schley had been out of town over Sunday and on his return here had gone to the New York Yacht club on West Forty-fourth street. After a short stay at the club he started to walk along Forty-fourth street toward Fifth avenue, when he was taken suddenly ill. A hurry call was sent for physicians and an ambulance, but before aid could reach him the admiral was dead. He became famous as the commander of the flying squadron which destroyed Admiral Cervera's fleet, off Santiago, July 3, 1898, after a running battle following the Spanish admiral's attempt to escape from that port. AMALGAMATION OF RACES. Wall Known Anthropologist Notes Change In Color of Afro-Americans. As the earlier separated American types are becoming centralized into one type, so the American Negro, already possessed of many of the mental and emotional characteristics of our nation, has become so importantly different from his African ancestor that to call him a plain Ethiopian would not be touching the point, says Walter Winston Kenilworth in the Forum. He is already an American citizen. Who knows what he will be six generations hence? Apart from this, it remains singularly mysterious just exactly why the Negro type is gradually relinquishing its darker bodily shade and coming into a rarer and more Caucasian color. There are Negroes, and an increasingly growing number of them, whose color is not far removed from that of the average Caucasian of southern Europe or western Asia. Many of them in truth might be taken for orientals of the darker Italian or Spanish types. The only reasonable hypothesis is the amalgamation of the Negro with the Caucasian. It alone can account for the gradual change in the frontal development of the head, the gradual thinning of the tips, the gradual contraction of the nostrils and the gradual change in the texture of the hair, receding from its primitive curly state to the straight black coarse hair of the south Asiatic, the Malay or Pacific island type. This is so emphatically striking that attention only need be called to the fact. Concord to Hold Bible Institute. Rev. Dr. S. N. Voss, the well known lecturer and Bibliist, has been engaged by the Rev. Dr. William M.

Denver, Colo., Oct. 4.—President Taft's Denver hosts gave him one of the most strenuous days he has spent since leaving Beverly more than two weeks ago and kept him on the go from early morning until late at night, when he left for Cheyenne. Mr. Taft made two important speeches, the first to the public lands convention and the second to the members of the Republican organization, including the state central committee and various county committees. The president talked politics to the Republican committeemen and outlined the position of the Republican party as he interprets it. "We are in favor of progress and construction," he said. "We are in favor of prosperity and of doing nothing that will interfere with the business growth of the country, provided that business growth be along lines that are legitimate and within the statutes. There is no desire on our part to hit corporations just because they are corporations. And if they are contributing to the growth of the country, if they are furnishing a large wage fund for the support of wage earners and are engaged in that kind of work that is an evidence of American enterprise, we are to encourage them, not to discourage them." BRYAN TOASTS PRESIDENT Nebraskan Takes Part in Welcome to Taft at Lincoln. Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 3.—President Taft received a cordial non-partisan welcome to Nebraska and to Lincoln. William J. Bryan, rising before the 400 guests at the luncheon given here in Mr. Taft's honor, proposed a toast to the president of the United States.

Lesson II.—Fourth Quarter, For Oct. 8, 1911. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Ezek. xlvili, 1-12, Memory Verse, 9—Golden Text, Rev. xxii, 17—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. The prophets tellell a kingdom of peace and righteousness on this earth to follow or in connection with the restoration of Israel and their reception of Jesus Christ as their Messiah when He shall come again in power and glory. No one does this more plainly than Ezekiel in chapter xxvll, 21-28. The last eight chapters of this book describe the temple that is yet to be builted and the glory that shall fill the house when He will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel forever (xlili, 1-7; xlvii, 4-15). The name of the city from that day shall be, "The Lord is there," Jehovah shammah (chapter xlvili, 35, margin). This story of the river of life, with its trees for meat and fruit and health, takes us back to the garden of Eden and on to the kingdom. Compare Joel lil, 17, 18; Zech. xiv, 8, 9; Rev. xxii, 1, 2; Ps. xlvi, 4, 5. The second book of Psalms, which may be a response to the second book of the law (Exodus), begins with mention of living water and the rock from which it flowed (Ps. xlii, 1, 2, 9), and in I Cor. x, 4, we read, "They drank of that spiritual rock that followed them, and that rock was Christ." In the same chapter (verses 6, 11) we read that all these things happened unto them for ensamples, and they are written for our admonition. Full authority for drawing spiritual heart lessons from literal events is also found in II Cor. iv, 6, and its reference to Gen. 1, 3. "God who commanded the light to shine out of darkness hath shined in our hearts." Glanding back at the Psalms a moment the sequence of 45 to 48 is most beautiful and in accord with all Scripture, the marriage, the judgment, then the kingdom of peace, with a king over all the earth, and Mount Zion, the city of the great king, the joy of the whole earth. Compare Rev. xix to xxI. Inasmuch as in our lesson verses we find the word "waters" fourteen times and the word "river" seven times. I take these two words as the key words to the heart of our lesson. I think of the waters above and waters below of Gen. 1, 6, 7; John lv. 13, 14, and of all our Lord's references to water in the first seven chapters of John's gospel and desire to be a well and a river of the living water that flows from the throne of God. If our hearts are truly and wholly the throne of God and the Lamb it will be so. I expect to see a literal river flowing from the city of Jerusalem to the Mediterranean and to the Jordan and Dead sea, according to our lesson and Zech. xiv, 8, but if any cannot receive that let all receive the spiritual lessons and so eat the word, as in last week's lesson, that all may be wells and rivers of living water, bringing life to many wherever we go. The temple or the tabernacle always tell us of His dwelling place on earth in the midst of His people and of His special presence above the mercy seat between the cherubim (Ex. xxv, 8-22). The altar by which the waters flow reminds us that there can't be life or blessing apart from the great sacrifice of Himself for us and His present ministry of intercession as our great high priest. The increasing volume of water to the ankles, the knees, the joins, a river to swim in, suggests the varied experience of believers. He said: "I am come that they might have life and that they might have it more abundantly. I am the life" (John x. 10; xiv, 0). It is written, "He that bath the Son hath life" (I John v. 12). Many seem to know an ankle deep enjoyment of Him, while others live in the ocean of His love, and there are varied experiences between these two. May Phil. III, 10; Ex. xxxiii, 13, be our whole hearted desire, "That I may know Him," "That I may know Thee," abiding in a love that passeth knowledge. The waters give life and healing, and the trees give meat and fruit. In Eden herbs and tree, were for meat and fruit (Gen. 1, 29, 30). In Eden restored the tree of life will bear fruit every month, and the leaves of the tree will be for the healing of the nations (Rev. xxii, 2). Compare verse 12 of our lesson. It will be a new day for the Dead sea when it shall have become a place for fishermen, but the waters shall be healed by the waters from the sanctuary flowing by the altar. Some one has said that the Dead sea is the greatest sin scar on earth because of the iniquity of the kingdom buried beneath it, but when the kingdom has fully come in the new earth there shall be no more curse; not in the millennial earth, for there shall still be unhealed places and death, but in the perfect age or ages after the thousand years (verse 11; 1sa. lxv. 20; Rev. xxlt. 3, 4 As far as we are individually concerned there can be nothing perfect about us in these mortal bodies, but in the glorified body we shall see as never before the meaning of such words as these: "Who forgiveth all thine words in liquities, who healeth all thy diseases who redeemeth thy life from destruction" (Ps. cll. 3, 4). We may ever here have large forestates of kingdom blessedness in order that we may show to others the power of the resurrection life which is already ours.

EPISCOPALS IN Lesson II.—Fourth Quarter, For Oct. 8, 1911. Text of the Lesson, Ezek. xlvili, 1-12, Memory Verse, 9-Golden Text, Rev. xxii, 17-Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. The prophets foretell a kingdom of peace and righteousness on this earth to follow or in connection with the restoration of Israel and their reception of Jesus Christ as their Messiah when He shall come again in power and glory. No one does this more plainly than Ezekiel in chapter xxvll, 21-28. The last eight chapters of this book describe the temple that is yet to be builted and the glory that shall fill the house when He will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel forever (xlil, 1-7; xliv, 4-15). The name of the city from that day shall be, "The Lord is there," Jehovah shamah (chapter xlvili, 35, margin). This story of the river of life, with its trees for meat and fruit and health, takes us back to the garden of Eden and to the kingdom. Compare Joel lil, 17, 18; Zech. xiv, 8. 9; Rev. xxl, 1, 2; Ps. xxlv, 4. 5. The second book of Psalms, which may be a response to the second book of the law (Exodus), begins with mention of living water and the rock from which it flowed (Ps. xlil, 1, 2, 9), and in I Cor. x, 4, we read, "They drank of that spiritual rock that followed them, and that rock was Christ." In the same chapter (verses 6, 11) we read that all these things happened unto them for ensamples, and they are written for our admonition. Full authority for drawing spiritual heart lessons from literal events is also found in II Cor. iv, 6, and its reference to Gen. 1, 3, "God who commanded the light to shine out of darkness hath shined in our hearts." Glancing back at the Psalms a moment the sequence of 45 to 48 is most beautiful and in accord with all Scripture, the marriage, the judgment, then the kingdom of peace, with a king over all the earth, and Mount Zion, the city of the great king, the Joy of the whole earth. Compare Rev. xix to xxI. Inasmuch as in our lesson verses we find the word "waters" fourteen times and the word "river" seven times, I take these two words as the key words to the heart of our lesson. I think of the waters above and waters below of Gen. 1, 6, 7; John lv, 13, 14, and of all our Lord's references to water in the first seven chapters of John's gospel and desire to be a well and a river of the living water that flows from the throne of God. If our hearts are truly and wholly the throne of God and the Lamb it will be so. I expect to see a literal river flowing from the city of Jerusalem to the Mediterranean and to the Jordan and Dead Sea, according to our lesson and Zech. xiv, 8, but if any cannot receive that let all receive the spiritual lessons and so eat the word, as in last week's lesson, that all may be wells and rivers of living water, bringing life to many wherever we go. The temple or the tabernacle always tell us of His dwelling place on earth in the midst of His people and of His special presence above the mercy seat between the cherubim (Ex. xxv, 8-22). The altar by which the waters flow reminds us that there can't be life or blessing apart from the great sacrifice of Himself for us and His present ministry of intercession as our great high priest. The increasing volume of water to the ankles, the knees, the loins, a river to swim in, suggests the varied experience of believers. He said: "I am come that they might have life and that they might have it more abundantly. I am the life" (John x. 10; xiv, 0). It is written, "He that hath the Son hath life" (I John v. 12). Many seem to know an ankle deep enjoyment of Him, while others live in the ocean of His love, and there are varled experiences between these two. May Phil. ill, 10; Ex. xxxill, 13, be our whole hearted desire, "That I may know Him," "That I may know Thee," abiding in a love that passeth knowledge. The waters give life and healing, and the trees give meat and fruit. In Eden herbs and tree, were for meat and fruit (Gen. 1, 20, 30). In Eden restored the tree of life will bear fruit every month, and the leaves of the tree will be for the healing of the nations (Rev. xxill, 2). Compare verse 12 of our lesson. It will be a new day for the Dead sea when it shall have become a place for fishermen, but the waters shall be healed by the waters from the sanctuary flowing by the altar. Some one has said that the Dead sea is the greatest sin scar on earth because of the iniquity of the cities buried beneath it, but when the kingdom has fully come in the new earth there shall be no more curse; not in the millennial earth, for there shall still be unhealed places and death, but in the perfect age or ages after the thousand years (verse 11; Isa. lxv, 20; Rev. xxli, 3, 4). As far as we are individually concerned there can be nothing perfect about us in these mortal bodies, but in the glorified body we shall see as never before the meaning of such words as these: "Who forgiveth all thine iniquities, who healeth all thy diseases, who redeemeth thy life from destruction" (Ps. ccll, 3, 4). We may even here have large forestastes of kingdom blessedness in order that we may show to others the power of the resurrection life which is already ours.

Orange, N. J.—The various problems of the work of the Episcopal church among the race and plans for extending the influence and helpfulness of the denomination in a larger degree were some of the important subjects discussed at the opening session of the conference of church workers which convened in the Church of the Epiphany in this town on Tuesday evening, Oct. 3, to last for four days.

NEWS OF NOTED PERSONS President Taft sped across Nebraska on his way to Denver. He spent part of the forenoon in Omaha, stopping for two hours at Lincoln, the home of his former political adversary, William Jennings Bryan, and was entertained at a banquet. Mr. Bryan helped to welcome the president to Lincoln and at the Commercial club luncheon proposed the health of the chief executive "in beverage upon which the Almighty has set the seal of his approval," and it was drunk in sparkling water. Mr. Taft and Mr. Bryan exchanged felicitations and seemed to enjoy their meeting. On the witness stand before the senatorial investigating committee for three hours, to answer charges that bribery and corrupt use of money had contributed to his election, Senator Stephenson of Wisconsin testified that, although he spent $107,793 in his campaign, he had little knowledge as to just how it was spent, except that it was not used in violation of the law. The details, he said, he had left to his campaign managers. President Taft received a welcome from many thousands of citizens of Des Moines when he began the second day of his Iowa tour. Senator Cummins, the progressive leader, who was conspicuously absent from the state reception committee when the president entered Iowa, was on hand bright and early and greeted Mr. Taft at his train. Cromwell Dixon, the youngest aviator in this country, entered by the Aero club only Aug. 31, crossed the continental divide in a Curtiss biplane at the Montana state fair and achieved a world's record, being the first airman to succeed in soaring over the Rocky mountains. President Taft closed his four-day tour of Kansas with a speech on the tariff at Leavenworth. He again explained his veto and reiterated his willingness to sign any tariff bills that might be based upon the forthcoming report of the tariff board. Miss Florence E. Hopwood, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank P. Hopwood of Minneapolis, and Charles G. Gates, son of the late financier, John W. Gates, were married at the residence of Robert F. Hopwood, uncle of the bride, at Unitontown, Pa. W. Joseph Eldridge, who is working as a farmhand near Lawton, Okla., has received word that he is heir to the title and fortune of the late Earl Myers of Craig castle, near Glasgow, Scotland. Governor Dix of New York has signed the pardon of Captain Peter C. Hains, who killed William C. Annis at the Bayside Yacht club three years ago. FOREIGN NEWS. A terrific explosion of rockets and bombs in a crowded church at Guadalajara, Mex., resulted in four dead and fifteen seriously injured. Of the wounded many were so seriously burned or trampled in the panic which followed that they are believed to have been fatally injured. Germany has formally accepted the French proposals to settle the Moroccan dispute. Herr von Kiderlen-Waechter received M. Jules Cambon, the French ambassador, at the foreign office and announced that the latest note was satisfactory to the kaiser's government. The bronze statue of Parnell, one of the finest achievements of the great sculptor, Augustus St. Gaudins, which has been erected largely through subscriptions by American admirers, was unveiled at Dublin by John E. Redmond, leader of the Irish party. The British steamer Hatfield, from Huelva, Spain, for Rotterdam, was in collision with the British steamer Glasgow, from Rotterdam to Dundee, and sunk. All the members of the Hatfield's crew,' numbering about twenty men, were drowned. A shaft 150 deep in the Shakespeare placer gold mine on Dome creek, near Fairbanks, Alaska, caved in, imprisoning fourteen miners, mostly Russians. Twenty-four coasting vessels went ashore and forty small craft were sunk in a storm which swept the North sea. Many lives were lost. The appointment of George Bakhmeitie as Russian ambassador to the United States to succeed Baron Rosen has been gazetted. The Hamilton (Ont.) offices of the Canadian Express company were robbed of $15,000 in cash. CRIMINAL NEWS. Nathan Allen, a millionaire manufacturer of Kenosha, Wis., and John R. Collins, of Memphis, Tenn., organizer of the Southern Coal company, pleaded guilty in the criminal branch of the United States circuit court in New York city to the charge of having smuggled into the United States from Europe jewelry worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. William E. Dawson, his wife and one daughter were found dead in their beds at Monmouth, Ill. There were no evidences of a struggle in the house and the murderer is believed to have killed each with a single blow. An ex-convict is suspected. TURKO-ITALIAN WAR. Italy has declared war on Turkey as the outcome of the dispute over Tripoli. It is understood the Ottoman government completely conceded Italy's economic claims in Tripoli, but evaded a direct answer demanded by the Italian government which had set forth in its ultimatum that Turkey must say that she would not resist the proposed occupation of Tripoli and Cyrene. instead the porte sent a conciliatory note suggesting further delay. Out of a perfect maze of conflicting reports and rumors it is utterly impossible at the present stage to gift the grains of truth concerning the opening days of the Turko-Italian war. It appears even doubtful whether there has been any actual occupation of Tripoli, and it is practically certain that there has been no bombardment by the Italian warships. The honor of winning the first engagement of the Turko-Italian war has been won by the Duco Deglia d'Abruzzi, who, in command of the naval detachment patrolling the Turkish coast, has bombarded the seaport of Pre- MARQUES DE SANTA MARIA DUKE OF THE ABRUZZI. vesa, destroyed the government house and other buildings, and sunk a Turkish torpedo boat destroyer. Another destroyer, which resisted the attack, is reported to have escaped. The Turkish government has addressed another appeal to the powers, expressing pained surprise at Italy's action in declaring war and saying that there is still time to prevent the disastrous and evil effects of a war which nothing in the attitude of the Turkish empire justifies. From present appearances the Turko-Italian war promises to be the shortest and most bloodless war in history. Thus far its distinguishing characteristic has been the absence of fighting and, with Germany acting as peacemaker, it may be ended before fighting takes place. The Paris Matin's Malta correspondent says it has been learned through an indiscretion of a wireless operator on a British warship, which has arrived there, that Tripoli was occupied Sunday night and the Italian flag hoisted on the governor's castle. The Italian squadron off Tripoli has seized the Turkish transport Derna, which was bringing the new Turkish governor of the province, munitions of war for the garrison there and reinforcements of troops. The Rome Tribune announces that the Italian cruiser Marco Polo has captured the Turkish transport Sabah, loaded with ammunition and troops, on the way to Tripoli. UNFORTUNATE EVENTS. Estimates of the loss of life in the flood that overwhelmed the towns of Austin and Costello, Pa., diminished when an army of volunteer rescuers worked its way into the masses of wreckage. In the opinion of many on the ground the number of deaths will not reach 150, while the less hopeful place the list of fatalities at 300. The property loss will exceed $6,000,000 and it is the general opinion that the towns never will be rebuilt. Two, at least, of the large plants will not be reconstructed and a majority of the business men of the towns have been financially ruined. State officials in charge of the situation, after a hasty canvass of the population, expressed the belief that not more than 150 are dead in the wreckage. The cause of the flood was the breaking of an immense dam, permitting the water held back of it to sweep down on the towns. Aviator Cromwell Dixon, aged nineteen, of Columbwell, O., the youngest aviator in America, who successfully flew across the main range of the Rocky mountains from Helena to Blossberg, fifty miles, last Saturday was caught in an air current while soaring above the grounds of the Interstate fair at Spokane, Wash., and dashed to the earth. He died in a few minutes. Mrs. Virgil Vandever and four of her children were burned to death at their home at Mitchell, Ill. Her husband and Arthur Langford, eighteen years old. Mrs. Vandever's son by a former marriage, saved themselves by jumping from a second story window. Eight children of Mr. and Mrs. William Dias of Hesbon, Pa., ranging in age from thirteen years to three months, were burned to death when fire destroyed the family home. TWIN CITY STAR FINANCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL President Taft, in a speech at Waterloo, Ia., defining "the relation of the government to business," announced that the trust prosecutions begun by the department of justice at Washington would continue despite the recent criticism that business was being made to suffer. He served notice that the "big business interests" of the country must be brought within the law just as the railroads have been, and declined to admit there exists any discretion which would enable the attorney general to stay the hand of the government in dealing with combinations in restraint of trade. A statement, authorized by the unanimous vote of the directors of the United States Steel corporation, has been given out at New York denying emphatically that any negotiations whatever have taken place between the steel corporation and the department of justice looking to the dissolution or disintegration of the corporation. Reiterating the determination of the house investigating committee, of which he is the head, to proceed with its inquiry regarding the United States Steel corporation, Representative Stanley of Kentucky said that it is the intention of the committee to extend its inquiry regarding violations of the interstate commerce law.

Locomotive engineers of the thirty-seven Southeastern roads met in secret session at Atlanta, Ga., with Grand Chief Warren S. Stone of Cleveland in an effort to gain higher wages. They expect to put an ultimatum up to the officials. It may mean a great strike. Machinists employed by the government at the Rock Island (Ill.) arsenal have adopted a resolution to proceed to extreme measures if the Taylor system is installed in federal arsenals and navy yards. This is considered equivalent to a threat to strike. Throughout the Harriman and Illinois Central systems from Chicago to the Pacific coast the order to the shopmen to strike has been generally obeyed and union leaders estimate that over 35,000 men were out. MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. The last day was the big day of the third National Conservation congress at Kansas City. Walter L. Fisher, secretary of the interior, made the important address of the congress. The congress adopted resolutions surprisingly radical and elected a president who seems likely to put the whole machinery of the congress into the hands of the "fat boys."

CHIEF AMONG RACE JOURNALS Story of Sixty Years' Growth of Christian Recorder. THE MOTHER OF THEM ALL Interesting Incidents In the Life of Pioneer Religious Publication. Which Was a Power For Good In Creating Sentiment Against Slavery-Educational Work of Methodist Church. Philadelphia. - As this is perhaps the first time in the history of the race that a newspaper has reached such an age, the editor of the Christian Recorder recently celebrated the occasion by the issuing of a special edition containing largely articles from the first edition of the Christian Recorder and from eminent Negro journalists. The Christian Recorder is published by the A. M. E. church, which has been the pioneer in so many efforts for the advance of the race. The A. M. E. church established and now controls the oldest printing house managed by colored men in the world—the Book Concern of the A. M. E. church at 631 Pine street, Philadelphia. It was the A. M. E. church which established the first school for higher culture among the colored people—Wilberforce university, which recently celebrated its fiftieth anniversary. The oldest magazine now in existence was established by the A. M. E. church. This church is the pioneer in independent Negro educational institutions in the south and was first to attempt the writing and printing of its own Sunday school literature. The Christian Recorder was not, however, the first Negro journal, though it is now the oldest. The first Negro journal was established by the Rev. J. B. Russworm in 1826, but it did not last long. The A. M. E. church published the Christian Herald [Picture of a man in a suit and tie]. EDITOR R. R. WRIGHT, JR. in 1848. This had a very varied experience, but struggled on until the general conference in 1852, when its name was changed to the Christian Recorder, and to this day it has been known by the latter name. Its first editor was Rev. M. M. Clark, who was one of the best educated men of the colored race during his time. The Christian Recorder soon became one of the great forces in the life of our people, and in the abolition movement it took a prominent part. Upon its exchange list were many of the prominent religious papers of the country, and it was frequently quoted as being the authoritative paper and standing for the highest and best for the colored people. Today, although hundreds of secular papers have grown up, having a wider range and a larger constituency, yet the Christian Recorder is looked upon by all as the mother of our journalism and an influential factor in our racial life. It goes to the homes of the leading African Methodist ministers, who number over 6,000, and it holds a strong place of influence among race journals. Edited by the Best Trained Man: It is sometimes said that large popular organizations are not very careful in the selection of their leaders, selecting rather those who are given to oratory than those who are given more to thoughtful and constructive effort. But with the Christian Recorder this has not been the case. The A. M. E. church has always selected for this paper one of its best trained men. Its first editor, Dr. M. M. Clark, was one of the first Negroes to take a college course and was graduated from Jefferson college in 1835. Dr. Clark took the paper in 1852 and was its editor till 1854, when he was succeeded by Rev. (later Bishop) J. P. Campbell. Editor Campbell was one of the best students of his day. He was succeeded by the Rev. Ellisa Weaver, another strong, well trained member of the A. M. E. church. The first editor elected after the close of the civil war was perhaps the most brilliant the paper has ever had, the Rev. (now Bishop) Benjamin T. Tanner, who was editor from 1868 to 1884, when he founded and became editor of the A. M. E. Review, the oldest Negro magazine now in existence. 一 --- DEATH OF A WELL KNOWN PRINTER OF BALTIMORE, MD. Editor Murphy Pays Glowing Tribute. Mr. William E. Tabb died early Thursday morning at his home, 506 N. Central avenue. He had been confined to his home since last March. The deceased had been employed by the Afro-American Ledger for the past 12 years and up to last March had never been late nor missed a day. He was born in Lynchburg, Va., 38 years ago. At an early age he learned the printing business, and was regarded as one of the best compositors in the country.

There are about 30 inmates at the Colored Home and Orphanage and our people should contribute freely to its support. If you doubt the existence of the institution and its good, you will change your opinion after a visit. Frequently our people are refused by other institutions and sent to the Home. The Churches are becoming more interested in the destitute of our race. It is time that we were loyal to our own enterprises. Help this cause. Some day you may be forced to seek food, shelter and raiment within its walls, and we know not how soon it will be. BUY THE STAR AT FORAKER'S Mr. M. C.

We claim to be the best advertising medium of the Twin Cities, and when you're not advertised in the Twin City Star, you need not show—that's all. Because the people read the Star for the news, especially in Minneapolis. The day of the Town Crier is past. Be up-to-date, Advertise and Pay for it. A newspaper is the best medium. It reaches the homes and firesides of people who attend public entertainments. These people never go out and loiter around and read hand-bills and hang-up notices. They read the Twin City Star. Read The Twin City Star. Alone Under the Tree With a Green Froggie. A sad little girl sat under a tree. "Tm so lonely, so lonely, so lonely!" sighed she. "Oh, why won't somebody play with me?" But no one came but a green froggie. "Doncher grump, doncher grump, doncher grump!" said he. The sad little girl sat under the tree. "But what shall I do to be gay?" sighed she. "I will somebody would please tell me!" And no one did—but a bumblebee. "Be bizzzee, be bizzzee, be bizzzee!" said he. Farmer Game. For this game all pretend to be farmers. The players are divided into two equal sides. One of the sides goes off at a distance to determine upon what fruit or vegetable to bring to town and how to show the manner in which it was raised. Then the acting side marches in a line to the guessing side, which says, "Who are you?" The acting side announces "Farmers." "What do you sell?" "Products from our farm." "How did you raise them?" "This way." And the acting side goes through some motion agreed upon which shows how the potatoes were dug or put into bags. If corn is chosen the planting may be shown, or the cutting, the shocking or the husking. When fruits are chosen the players may pretend to be planting, pruning, picking or packing. As soon as the guessing side guesses the product the acting side runs, for the players on the other side try to capture as many actors as possible. If the product is not guessed, but is given up, the acting side chooses another product and has another turn at acting. The object of the game is not only to guess the product, but to capture farmers. The first side capturing half of the farmers of the other side wins the game. If the game starts out with eight players on each side, the side which grows to have twelve players first wins the game. Stung on the Tongue. Ever get stung by a bee? It is not pleasant. If there are plenty of bees they sting you in the most convenient place, but if there is only one you are pretty sure to get it on the nose, quite as if the bee understands that it could not do much worse for you. One bee that lived down south in Indiana went a little further than that. The man that it was having a difference of opinion with had his mouth open, and it stung him on the tongue. It is bad enough to be stung on the nose, but there is all outdoors for the nose to swell into. The tongue has not so much room, and the man was nearly suffocated before the swelling went down. You see, the real cure for a bee sting is a poultice of mud, but the man said that he did not like the taste of mud, and so his tongue had to stay swollen for awhile.—Chicago News. Conundrums.

What trades does the sun regularly follow? Those of a tanner and a portrait painter. What kind of medicine does a father take for a wayward daughter? He takes an elixir (he takes and he licks her.)-Philadelphia Ledger. Cradle Song. Here is a little cradle song the Italian mother sings when bedtime comes and the little ones are sleepy: Then the mother pulls the baby's nose. Japanese Tag. This makes an amusing variation on the old game of tag. When a player is tagged he must place his left hand on the spot tagged and keep it there until he has caught some other victim. The game works out in this way: The one who is "it" endevours to tag a runner on the knee or foot, so that his efforts to tag any one with his hand on this part of the body will be awkward and amusing. Defective Page NEWS OF NOTED PERSONS President Taft tapped across Nebraska on his way to Denver. He spent part of the forenoon in Omaha, stopping for two hours at Lincoln, the home of his former political adversary, William Jennings Bryan, and was entertained at a banquet. Mr. Bryan helped to welcome the president to Lincoln and at the Commercial club luncheon proposed the health of the chief executive "in beverage upon which the Almighty has set the seal of his approval," and it was drunk in sparkling water. Mr. Taft and Mr. Bryan exchanged felicitations and seemed to enjoy their meeting. On the witness stand before the senatorial investigating committee for three hours, to answer charges that bribery and corrupt use of money had contributed to his election, Senator Stephenson of Wisconsin testified that, although he spent $107,793 in his campaign, he had little knowledge as to just how it was spent, except that it was not used in violation of the law. The details, he said, he had left to his campaign managers. President Taft received a welcome from many thousands of citizens of Des Moines when he began the second day of his Iowa tour. Senator Cummins, the progressive leader, who was conspicuously absent from the state reception committee when the president entered Iowa, was on hand bright and early and greeted Mr. Taft at his train. Cromwell Dixon, the youngest aviator in this country, entered by the Aero club only Aug. 31, crossed the continental divide in a Curtiss biplane at the Montana state fair and achieved a world's record, being the first airman to succeed in soaring over the Rocky mountains. President Taft closed his four-day tour of Kansas with a speech on the tariff at Leavenworth. He again explained his veto and reiterated his willingness to sign any tariff bills that might be based upon the forthcoming report of the tariff board. Miss Florence E.

William E. Dawson, his wife and one daughter were found dead in their beds at Monmouth, Ill. There were no evidences of a struggle in the house and the murderer is believed to have killed each with a single blow. An ex-convict is suspected. TURKO-ITALIAN WAR. Italy has declared war on Turkey as the outcome of the dispute over Tripoli. It is understood the Ottoman government completely conceded Italy's economic claims in Tripoli, but evaded a direct answer demanded by the Italian government which had set forth in its ultimatum that Turkey must say that she would not resist the proposed occupation of Tripoli and Cyrene. Instead the porte sent a conciliatory note suggesting further delay. Out of a perfect maze of conflicting reports and rumors it is utterly impossible at the present stage to cift the grains of truth concerning the opening days of the Turko-Italian war. It appears even doubtful whether there has been any actual occupation of Tripoli, and it is practically certain that there has been no bombardment by the Italian warships. The honor of winning the first engagement of the Turko-Italian war has been won by the Duco Degilla d'Abruzzi, who, in command of the naval detachment patrolling the Turkish coast, has bombarded the seaport of Pre- DUKE OF THE ABRUZZI. vesa, destroyed the government house and other buildings, and sunk a Turkish torpedo boat destroyer. Another destroyer, which resisted the attack, is reported to have escaped. The Turkish government has addressed another appeal to the powers, expressing pained surprise at Italy's action in declaring war and saying that there is still time to prevent the disastrous and evil effects of a war which nothing in the attitude of the Turkish empire justifies. From present appearances the Turko-Italian war promises to be the shortest and most bloodless war in history. Thus far its distinguishing characteristic has been the absence of fighting and, with Germany acting as peacemaker, it may be ended before fighting takes place. The Paris Matin's Malta correspondent says it has been learned through an indiscretion of a wireless operator on a British warship, which has arrived there, that Tripoli was occupied Sunday night and the Italian flag hoisted on the governor's castle. The Italian squadron off Tripoli has seized the Turkish transport Derna, which was bringing the new Turkish governor of the province, munitions of war for the garrison there and reinforcements of troops. The Rome Tribune announces that the Italian cruiser Marco Polo has captured the Turkish transport Sabah, loaded with ammunition and troops, on the way to Tripoli. UNFORTUNATE EVENTS.

He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Rosa Tabb, his mother, Mrs. Sabina Tabbina Tabb, of Petersburg, Va., two small children, one sister and two brothers. One brother, Rev. R. H. Tabb, is the rector of an Episcopal Church in Philadelphia. He was related to Rev. George F. Bragg, rector of St. James P. E. Church. The funeral will take place at St. James Church at 10 o'clock today. Robert A. Elliott has charge of the funeral arrangements. Afro-American Ledger. Editor Murphy of the Afro-American Ledger has lost a valuable member of his staff, Mr. William E. Tabb, a man with a remarkable record. We knew "Bill" in boyhood days, when he had charge of the Va. Lancet, edited by Rev. Geo. F. Bragg. Our sympathies are extended to his family and relatives in their bereavement. THE LAYMENS MOVEMENT. "Missions" is the slogan of the Laymens' movement, and aside from current expense, missions cover everything. Everyone expressed themselves as satisfied that we should without delay take hold of and further the up-building of the Masters Kingdom, realizing that Pilgrim should do her part in the Evangelization, and Christianizing of the World. We have received requests for "library copies" of the Twin City Star from some of the leading institutions of learning throughout the country, and we have added several new exchanges to our list. The Star is the popular paper of the North west. The many friends of Mr. Will Christman, formerly of this city, are glad to know that he is rapidly improving in Washington, D. C. Mr. J. R. Washington had a successful crop of potatoes on his farm. Mr. Washington has invested in out of town property, and is making it pay from the start. Mr. T. C. Stewart has returned to the South on business. The vested Choir will sing at St. Thomas Church next Sunday. Mr. Wm. Dunigan the tailor, has moved to 1311 Washington Ave. So He has fitted up a nice shop and is doing very good work. Dunigan is a hustling young man. Mr. Hammond Turner, has returned to the University of Minnesota after spending the summer at Omaha, Neb. Mr. Philip F. Hale has succeeded Mr. Leon Vance as head waiter at the University Club. Mr. Vance resigned his position to accept another in Buffalo, N. Y. Colored Orphanage and Home. There are about 30 inmates at the Colored Home and Orphanage and our people should contribute freely to its support. If you doubt the existence of the institution and its good, you will change your opinion after a visit. Frequently our people are refused by other institutions and sent to the Home. The Churches are becoming more interested in the destitute of our race. It is time that we were loyal to our own enterprises. Help this cause. Some day you may be forced to seek food, shelter and raiment within its walls, and we know not how soon it will be. BUY THE STAR AT FORAKER'S Mr. M. C. Rutledge, the proprietor of Foraker's Cafe, has on sale all the leading Negro Magazines and Periodicals. He intends to carry a full line of Race News from everywhere.

We claim to be the best advertising medium of the Twin Cities, and when you're not advertised in the Twin City Star, you need not show—that's all. Because the people read the Star for the news, especially in Minneapolis. The day of the Town Crier is past. Be up-to-date, Advertise and Pay for it. A newspaper is the best medium. It reaches the homes and firesides of people who attend public entertainments. These people never go out and loiter around and read hand-bills and hang-up notices. They read the Twin City Star. Read The Twin City Star. A sad little girl sat under a tree. "I'm so lonely, so lonely, so lonely!" sighed she. "Oh, why won't somebody play with me?" But no one came but a green froglie. "Doncher grump, doncher grump, doncher grump!" said he. The sad little girl sat under the tree. "But what shall I do to be gay?" sighed abe. "I wish somebody would please tell me!" And no one did—but a bumblebee. "Be blizzze, be blizzze, be blizzze!" said he. Farmer Game. For this game all pretend to be farmers. The players are divided into two equal sides. One of the sides goes off at a distance to determine upon what fruit or vegetable to bring to town and how to show the manner in which it was raised. Then the acting side marches in a line to the guessing side, which says, "Who are you?" The acting side announces "Farmers." "What do you sell?" "Products from our farm." "How did you raise them?" "This way." And the acting side goes through some motion agreed upon which shows how the potatoes were dug or put into bags. If corn is chosen the planting may be shown, or the cutting, the shocking or the husking. When fruits are chosen the players may pretend to be planting, pruning, picking or packing. As soon as the guessing side guesses the product the acting side runs, for the players on the other side try to capture as many actors as possible. If the product is not guessed, but is given up, the acting side chooses another product and has another turn at acting. The object of the game is not only to guess the product, but to capture farmers. The first side capturing half of the farmers of the other side wins the game. If the game starts out with eight players on each side, the side which grows to have twelve players first wins the game. Stung on the Tongue. Ever get stung by a bee? It is not pleasant. If there are plenty of bees they sting you in the most convenient place, but if there is only one you are pretty sure to get it on the nose, quite as if the bee understands that it could not do much worse for you. One bee that lived down south in Indiana went a little further than that. The man that it was having a difference of opinion with had his mouth open, and it stung him on the tongue. It is bad enough to be stung on the nose, but there is all outdoors for the nose to swell into. The tongue has not so much room, and the man was nearly suffocated before the swelling went down. You see, the real cure for a bee sting is a poultice of mud, but the man said that he did not like the taste of mud, and so his tongue had to stay swollen for awhile.—Chicago News. Conundrums. Why might you be justified in picking the pockets of a photographer? Because he has pictures you yours. When does a caterpillar improve in behavior? When it turns over a new leaf. Why should a quill pen never be used in inditing secret matters? Because it is not to split. What kind of medicine does a father take for a wayward daughter? He takes an elixir (he takes and he licks her.)—Philadelphia Ledger. Cradle Song. Here is a little cradle song the Italian mother sings when bedtime comes and the little ones are sleepy: A long one and a short one! Do you wish me to tell you a long one? This is the finger, and this is the nail. Do you wish me to tell you a short one? This is the finger, and this is the end of it. Here is another short one: Once upon a time there was a king Who ate more than you. He ate bread and cheese. Pull, pull his nose. Then the mother pulls the baby's nose. Japanese Tag. This makes an amusing variation on the old game of tag. When a player is tagged he must place his left hand on the spot tagged and keep it there until he has caught some other victim. The game works out in this way: The one who is "it" endeavors to tag a runner on the knee or foot, so that his efforts to tag any one with his hand on this part of the body will be awkward and amusing.

Pald up subscriptions are our best "Boosters" Are you one? Pres. Taft is "swinging the circle." Evidently he is trying to "square it." That the sensible people of this community are opposed to lawlessness of whatever kind, and pay little or no heed to ranting, or muck-raking, was demonstrated at the sensational trial of past week when Wm. Martin was tried and convicted of assault on Attorney Geo. H. Jackson. Though Jackson had led a disolute life, he was the only professional rival of Attorney B. S. Smith, who defended the prisoner. Evidently he had Jackson on the hip. But it is a long story, and shortly told. William Martin goes to Stillwater prison and Attorney's Smith and Jackson are rivals as of yore. A district court is not the place to kill off competition through petty jelousies. Where are the ethics of Negro professionals of this class? The Catholic Church has done more for the American Negro than any other of the religious denominations or political parties. Its leaders has drawn around black men the "magic circle of the church" and held at bay the riot-ruffians of the North as well as the hell-hounds of the South. Verly—"More sharper than a serpents' tooth is an ungrateful child. Dan'l Lawler has entered the Senatorial race. NOTICE. All Negroes who have any trophies to present to the President will enter through the back door, and wait in the waiter's quarters. Sen. Clapp and his Negro followers (The Progressives), have not been asked to attend the Taft meetings. There has been more than 1,000 depositors registered at the Postal Savings Bank in St. Paul—one tenth of the depositors were Negroes. SUCH LITTLE FELLOWS. Att'y. Francis and F. D. McCracken are very small in stature, but they are the "Big Noise" in the G. O. P. band wagon. OPPORTUNITY A Negro can come to Minnesota, make a comfortable living, purchase a home, and sit under his own vine and fig tree, protected by its laws and enjoy the fruits of his labors—a life worth living. We will continue to print the news 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. --- The consensus of opinion of those who followed up the four public sessions of the fourth annual convention of the National Independent Political league recently held in Boston is that the convention was a magnificent success. Every session open to the public was crowded, whether it was the concert to which admission was charged or the meeting in the little room in the old courthouse, while the mass meetings in the beautiful and commodious new Twelfth Baptist church and in historic Faneuil hall held mammoth audiences. The election of officers resulted as follows: President, J. R. Clifford, Martinsburg, W. Va.; first vice president, the Rev. Byron Gunner, Hillburn, N. Y.; second vice president, the Rev. S. W. Smith, Providence, R. 1.; third vice president, L. C. Moore, Mississippi; fourth vice president, Professor Benjamin B. Church, Sallisbury, N. C.; fifth vice president, the Rev. W. D. Johnson, Boston; corresponding secretary, William M. Trotter, Boston; recording secretary, James L. Neill, Washington; treasurer, the Rev. C. S. Whitted, Providence, R. 1.; financial secretary, W. T. Ferguson. New York; national organizer, the Rev. J. Milton Waldron, Washington; assistant national organizer, J. M. Summers, Xenia, O.; sergeant-at-arms, C. C. Curtis, Iowa; chaplain, the Rev. M. A. N. Shaw, Boston. Executive committee members are: Alabama, Bishop J. W. Alstork; Arkansas, Dr. F. B. Coffin; California, Paul M. Nash; Colorado, George E. Ross; Connecticut, J. W. Lancaster; Delaware, Dr. J. B. Stubs; District of Columbia, S. L. Corrothers; Florida, A. W. Price; Georgia, Bishop R. S. Williams; Illinois, Dr. C. E. Bentley; Indiana, George L.

Beginning at San Antonio, Tex. on Tuesday, Sept. 26, Dr. Booker T. Washington made a successful and profitable tour of the state, making stops at the following places: Houston, Galveston, Hempedast, Austin, Waco, Corsicana, Fort Worth, Dallas and Marshall, which was reached on Tuesday, Oct. 3. Hon. R. L. Smith, president of the Texas Negro Business league, and Mr. J. B. Bell of Houston, with their associates, are to be congratulated for the able way in which they conducted the business end of the tour. TO PURIFY POLITICS. In all the prosecutions waged against unlawful corporations there is a desire to reach the men "higher up." When the disbursing agent who contracts for a delivery of votes at a certain time and for a certain price is put behind prison bars, then a step will have been made which will tend to improve instead of debauch politics.—C. E. Broughton. RECORD OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. Colored Americans having been permitted to be disfranchised in the Southern States under Republican rule. The appointment of ex-Confederates and Southern Democrats upon the Supreme Court of the United States. The appointment of ex-Confederates and Southern Democrats in the Cabinet by President Taft. The declaration of President Taft that he would appoint no colored man to office who may be objectionable to the white people. Race discrimination permitted upon the railroads South, and the enactment of "Jim Crow" car laws. The removal of Southern colored office holders in the South from office and the appointment of Democrats and ex-Confederates in their stead. With such a record for the Republican party to go to the country on in 1912 to capture the colored vote will be bound to be effective. The colored voters throughout the country have opened their eyes, and between now and 1912 they will keep them open.—The Bee, Wash. D. C. The items from the classes, make the news of the masses.
