Defective Page CONGRESSMAN STEVENS HONORED. Negro Citizens of St. Paul tender Him a Reception in Recognition of His Services to Their Race. A committee of the Associated Civic Clubs of St. Paul offered testimony of their high esteem and loyalty to Congressman Frederick C. Stevens at St. James A. M. E. Church on Thursday evening. Mr. Fred. D. Parker made the opening address. Prayer by Rev. H. P. Jones, Rev. A. H. Lealtad presided and in flowing language spoke of the purpose of the meeting and introduced the speakers of the evening. Mr. Jas. E. Murphy rendered a Solo and was well applauded. Atty. F. L. McGhee, Supt. O'Regan of the Postal Banks and Hon. F. C. Stevens were the principal speakers. Mdme. Addie Crawford Minor sang a Solo. The Choir rendered choice music. Mrs. B. C. Archer presided at the organ. A collection was taken to defray the expenses. After the benediction by Rev. A. H. McDonald refreshments were served in the ante room. The testimonial in itself was highly commendable, and the remarks of each speaker echoed the grand character of one of the most ardent supporters of the Negro race. Congressman Stevens thanked the committee for the honor bestowed upon him, and urged the race to press forward, and by loyalty to friendship and purpose overcome all existing conditions. Attorney W. T. Francis was called to Duluth on business, and a letter of request and brief address was read by Mr. G. W. Wills, which told of the work done for the race by Mr. Stevens. Expressions of thanks and esteemed were offered to Mrs. Stevens, who is loved and respected by the people of St. Paul for her services rendered Mr. Fred. D. McCracken, the Secretary of the Congressman, during his illness in Washington last winter. Resolutions of thanks to Mr. Stevens were read and offered for adoption by Mr. Ora C. Hall. The testimonial in its entirety was a success and one where gratitude in every way was reciprocal. JUNIOR CHOIR TESTIMONIAL. The testimonial given for the "Junior Choir" and its Chorister, Mr. John H. Hickman, Jr., at Pilgrim Baptist Church on Oct. 16th, was a grand affair.

The following program was excellently rendered. The Vocal Solo by the Misses Johnson and Piano Selections by Miss Ada Lewis were well received. Miss Ethel Stone, a young girl about 10 years, rendered a Piano Selection with the style and execution of an accomplishism musician, and won great applause. Miss Grace Smith read a paper—on "Tanner—the Negro painter of Religious Pictures," which was very interesting and instructive, showing his rise from obscurity to fame. Miss R. S. Brown's "Current Events" were well received. Mr. Fred. D. McCracken, the private secretary for Congressman Stevens of St. Paul, spoke on Our Prominent Men, and racial conditions. He is a splendid talker and his knowledge of conditions, and suggestions for racial betterment, was appreciated by his hearers. Mr. McCracken told of the failures and successes of our enterprises, of the advancement of the race along material lines, and of the various positions of honor at the seat of our government held by Negroes who are a credit to their race and nation. His plea for our patronage of our enterprises and institutions, was earnest, and his reasoning showed convincing proofs that lack of unity is our greatest defeat. The Forum extended a vote of thanks to those who appeared on its program. The following resolutions, offered by Dr. R. S. Brown were read and adopted. Whereas, It is the purpose of the Minneapolis Sunday Forum to send a delegate to the Inter-State Literary Society, which meets in December of each year. Be it resolved, That we select our delegate through competitive contests, as follows: Any member of the Forum may enter the contests by writing a paper. All papers must be turned over to a committee of examiners selected by the Forum, out of which, three are to be selected. The three papers selected are then to be delivered before the Forum and a committee of Judges selected by the Forum. The winner of this contest will then be accorded the honor of representing the Forum at the Inter-State meeting. Be it further resolved, That all papers must be turned in on or before November 19th. Be it further Resolved, That all committees shall consist of Afro-Americans and residents of the Twin Cities. AUTUMN LEAF DANCING SCHOOL Opening Soiree and Class Party.

Text of the Lesson, Ez. iii, 8 to iv, 5 Memory Verses, iii, 11—Golden Text, Ps. c, 4—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. The topic of the lesson today is the rebuilding of the temple, which was begun in the second year of their re- turn (iii, 8), but in the seventh month of the first year they required the altar and offered sacrifices. According to Lev. xxiii, 23-36, the program for the seventh month was, for the first day blowing of trumpets, on the tenth day the atonement, on the fifteenth day the feast of tabernacles, and these they seem to have carefully observed. Note the one accord, for they gathered together as one man to Jerusalem (iii, 1). This unity of heart must be very pleasing to the Lord. Compare the seven "one accords" of Acts 1, 14; il, 1, 40; iv, 24; v, 5; ii, 9; xv, 25, all for God, and the four "one accords" of the devil, Acts vii, 57; xil, 20; xviii, 12; xix, 28. Their first essential to the worship of the Lord was an altar for sacrifice (ill, 2). See the alturs of Noah and Abram (Gen. vill, 20; xil, 7, 8; xilii, 4), but observe that he had no altar in Egypt. Mark the threefold phrase "Unto the Lord" (ill, 3, 5, 0), and if you can find time to mark this and "Before the Lord" in the book of Leviticus, where they are found many times, you will be greatly profited, as these two sayings cover all real Christian life. There is a saying in ill, 4, worthy of close attention, "As the duty of every day required," or as in the margin, "The matter of the day in his day." It is found just seven times pertaining to the things of God, the other six being in Ex. xvli, 4; I Kings vill, 50; xxv, 30; II Chron. vill, 13, 14; Lev. vill, 34. It is used once of the devil's tyranny in Ex. v, 13. We are reminded of "As thy days so shall thy strength be" and "Give us this day our daily bread." the expression "the house or temple of the Lord" (iii, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12) reminds us of the great business in which we now are or should be engaged, the building of the church, which is His body (Eph. 1, 22, 23; 11, 19-22), "His own house, whose house are we" (Hab. iii, 6). The house of our lesson was a literal building of wood and stone at Jerusalem. The building on which we are engaged is one of which the living stones are men and women and boys and girls, according to I Pet. ii, 5, 6, and every soul saved in any part of the world is another stone for the building. There were much praise and thanksgiving at the laying of the foundation of this temple (iii, 10, 11). We should be always full of praise because of our foundation, which has been laid strong and sure forever (Isa. xxviii, 16; I Cor. iii, 11), provided we are on that foundation by faith in Christ Jesus. All else will be swept away. As we go on with the building day by day some are weeping because of many discouragements, while some shout for joy (iii, 12, 13). Some look backward and tell us of better things in the past. Some look around and are discouraged because of the worldliness and unbelief which prevail. The only way to look upward to Him of whom it is written, "He shall not fall nor be discouraged (isa. xlil. 4). Certain people who were adversaries of Judah and Benjamin wanted to help with this building, but the governor and the high priest said to them, "We have nothing to do with us to build an house unto our God." So their assistance was refused, and rightly too. Then they did all they could to hinder the work, and used force and power to cause it to cease, and succeeded, so that for many years there was no progress made with the building (iv. 15, 23, 24). In the building of the church, the body of Christ, those who profess to be interested act so differently from Zerubbabel and Joshua, inasmuch as they seek help of every kind from all sorts of people, never considering whether they are the Lord's or not. As a rule, no questions are asked as to whether saved or unsaved if only money can be obtained or help in the choir, or whatever is needed. This is all wrong, and the way of our lesson is the only right way, for light cannot have fellowship with darkness nor believers with unbelievers, and they that are in the flesh (unsaved people) cannot please God (II Cor. vi, 14-18; Rom. viii, 7, 8). There is much that is called church work in which it is possible that the Lord has no part at all, as He never gave the pattern. The only real work of true believers is to manifest the life of Jesus and win others to Him. Building up one's own congregation or advancing the interests of a denomination may not be of the Lord at all, but may come under the heading of Hag. 1, 4, 9, "Mine house is waste, and ye run every man to his own house." I am sure that the Lord is calling to His people now, as He did by Haggl and Zechariah. As the work on the temple was resumed and the building finished through the prophesying of Haggal and Zechariah (Ez. v1, 14, 15), so surely shall the church, the body of Christ, be completed and taken up to meet the Lord in the air before the end of this evil age, and then shall come an age of peace and righteousness with Israel as a center. TWIN CITY STAR "GRAND OLD MAN OF JUDICIARY." Was Fond of Golf, Chewing Tobacco and Walking—Two of His Ambitions Unsatisfied — Sketch of His Useful Career In Highest Court. The late John Marshall Harlan, associate justice of the United States supreme court, was the senior member in point of both age and service. He was in his seventy-ninth year, and for more than thirty-three years he had sat on the supreme bench. His two famous dissenting opinions in the Standard Oll and the American Tobacco company cases brought him more strongly than ever into public notice. He severely attacked the majority opinion of the court in these two noted cases because that opinion, as he construed it, had written the words "unreasonable restraint" into the Sherman anti-trust law. In Seventy-ninth Year. John Marshall Harlan first saw the light on June 1, 1833, in Boyle county. His father was James Harlan, a prom [Image of a man in a suit with a tie]. inent country lawyer, and his mother was Elizabeth Davenport. The youth was educated at Center college, Kentucky, and studied law at Transylvania university. He practiced law in Frankfort, Ky., and while settled there married Miss Malvina F. Shanklin of Evansville, Ind. In 1858 young Harlan was made county judge, in 1859 he was the Whig candidate for congress in the Ashland district and in 1860 he was a presidential elector on the Bell and Everett ticket. At the outbreak of the civil war he led the Tenth Kentucky (Union) regiment into the fray and fought several years. Colonel Harlan was attorney general of Kentucky from 1863 to 1867. In 1871 and again in 1875 he was the Republican nominee for governor. In 1872 he was mentioned in the Republican national convention as a candidate for the vice presidency. In 1877 he was put on the Louisiana commission. Appointed by President Hayes. President Hayes in December of that year elevated Mr. Harlan to the United States supreme court as an associate justice. In his thirty-three years on the supreme court bench Justice Harlan was known almost from the beginning of his service as a "dissenter" of sturdy independence of judgment. He was in favor of an income tax, and he protested when his colleagues in 1895 declared the income tax law unconstitutional. In 1906 he and his wife celebrated their golden wedding. He recently asserted that religion has a stronger hold than ever on the United States and said no atheist would dare run for office. He was prominent for years in the councils of the Presbyterian church. He favored a $500,000,000 navy, with ample warships on both oceans to cope with any other nation. There will be a "yellow peril" some day, he held. Justice Harlan passed away with two ambitions unsatisfied. The first was his desire to become chief justice of the United States. A second ambition ungratified was to serve longer than any other member of the supreme bench ever served. His record was only excelled by John Marshall, for whom the dead jurist was named. The first chief justice served thirty-four years and seven months on the supreme bench. With his approaching years and his almost unequaled record for service on the supreme bench Justice Harlan came to be known as "the grand old man of the judiciary." He was of the old fashioned school of gentlemen, and hospitality always permeated his home here. He had a liking for golf, for chewing tobacco and for long walks. PETER H. BURKE M. G.

FINANCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL Suit for $2,000,000 damages has been filed in the federal court at Boston against the United Shoe Machinery company and its officers, because of an alleged violation of the Sherman anti-trust act, by Charles A. Strout of Portland, Me., as trustee for the Goddu Sons Metal Fastening company. The complainant alleges that in violation of the Sherman act the shoe machinery company forced it out of business and it therefore asks for damages. In the United States district court at Toledo, O., Judge John M. Killips rendered a decree in favor of the government in the cases brought by the United States attorney general last summer in Cleveland against the General Electric company and about forty subsidiary companies controlled by the General Electric company under the Sherman anti-trust law. The government won its suit against the so called bath tub trust in a decision of the United States circuit court at Baltimore. The so called trust is declared to be a combination in restraint of trade and is ordered to dissolve. An increase of nearly $4,000,000 is shown in the net total revenue of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad company for the year ending June 30, 1911, over that of the previous fiscal year. THE DEATH RECORD. Associate Justice John M. Harlan, senior member of the supreme court of the United States, died at Washington following a brief illness of bronchitis, which developed complications. He sat on the bench when the October term of co rt opened, but since the day following was confined to his home with a cold which gradually grew worse. Justice Harlan served thirty-four years on the bench, which with one exception is the longest term in the history of the country. He was seventy-eight years of age. Former United States Senator A. P. Williams of California, who was appointed by Governor Stoneman in 1886 to fill the unexpired term of Senator John F. Miller, is dead at San Francisco, aged seventy-nine. Right Rev. Augustine Van de Yver, for the past twenty-two years bishop of the Roman Catholic diocese of Richmond, Va., is dead. He was born in Belgium in 1844. UNFORTUNATE EVENTS. Seven persons were killed and twenty-eight injured, four of them seriously, in a collision between Missouri Pacific passenger train No. 105 and a fast freight at Fort Crook, Neb. The accident is believed to have resulted from a misunderstanding of orders on the part of the freight crew. August Languisch, a son and a daughter, and Ruth Cook were instantly killed on a grade crossing at Columbia, Wis., when a freight train crashed into the vehicle in which Languisch was conveying children from school. The big Canadian steamer Emperor was sunk in the lower entrance of the Canadian lock at the Soo, practically blocking navigation. The Emperor is the largest Canadian steamer on the lakes. WASHINGTON NEWS Political circles in Washington are agreed that President Taft will select a progressive successor to the late Associate Justice Harlan of the supreme court. One report is that Louis Brandeis of Boston might be chosen. Another report, and one more generally credited, is that Solicitor General Frederick W. Lehmann would be appointed. He is a lifelong friend of Senator Cummins of Iowa. All railroads are forbidden by the interstate commerce commission to cancel rate contracts with other roads when such action will result in a raise of freight rates. The decision follows investigation of the Northern Pacific's increase of eastbound lumber rates from Oregon and Washington points on the Tacoma Eastern railroad. TURKO-ITALIAN WAR. The outlook for a successful intervention to bring an end to the TurcoItalian war is becoming less favorable, according to a semi-official statement issued at Berlin. Italy has yielded to public opinion at home and, is no longer willing to concede a Turkish suzerainty for Tripoli, while on the other hand Turkey is not willing to surrender Tripoli unconditionally because of the internal dangers that would be involved by such yielding on the part of the government. Nineteen Italian transports have arrived at Tripoli and the second part of the Italian army expeditionary corps has disembarked. LABOR NEWS. President White of the International Mine Workers has left Lethbridge, Alta., for Indianapolis after a week's conference with leaders of the strike in Western Canada. He is optimistic over the outlook and believes the strike will end in a few days. NEWS OF NOTED PERSONS Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson braved the accumulated wrath of some thousands of prohibition workers throughout the country and delivered a speech at the International Brewers' congress at Chicago. It was a short speech in which merely an assurance was given the foreign visitors of the same courtesy the United States has received from the European countries from which some of them come. An order from Washington, parolling John R. Walsh, the former Chicago banker and railroad president, was received at the federal prison at Leavenworth, Kan. The prisoner was at once released and returned to his home in Chicago. Mr. Walsh, up to the time of his parole, had served one year, eight months and twenty-six days of his five-year sentence. In the presence of his two predecessors in office and the most notable gathering of American educators in the history of the West, Dr. George E. Vincent was formally inaugurated president of the University of Minnesota and in a stirring inaugural address outlined his plans for the future of the university. William Rockefeller, according to a dispatch from London, has gout of the throat. Dr. Chappell, his physician, just previous to the sailing of Mr. [Image of a man with a mustache and a suit] WILLIAM ROCKEFELLER. Rockefeller on the steamer Campania for New York, is quoted as saying that this was the nature of the illness. That the recent trust decisions of the supreme court have practically sounded the death knell of monopolistic combinations in the United States, but have not injured legitimate business, is the statement made at Kansas City by Attorney General George W. Wickersham. President Taft's notable swing around the circle, now ending its fifth week, will not end in Washington Nov. 1, as first contemplated, but will be extended until Nov. 15 or 18. CRIMINAL NEWS. Slain as they slept the bodies of Will Showman, a chauffeur, his wife and three small children were discovered in the Showman home at Ellsworth, Kan., by a neighbor who chanced to call and who entered the house when no one responded to his knock. The bodies of the five victims were found in one room, the father, mother and baby in one bed and the other two children in the second bed. What is pronounced by Sheriff Nat Stewart of Santa Barbara county and W. F. Wines of San Francisco, special agent for the Southern Pacific railroad, to have been a delibereate attempt to dynamite an 800-foot bridge, twenty-five miles north of Santa Barbara, Cal., over which President Taft's special train passed, was frustrated by the vigilance of a Mexican bridge watchman. James C. Dygart, under arrest at Minneapolis, has confessed the revolting details of the murder of Mrs. Walter Bolton and F. E. Rhodes on the Bolton farm near Wyoming, Minn. Later he unconcernedly related to authorities of Superior, Wis., the circumstances of the killing of John Hofstedt June 27 on the latter's farm near Poplar, Wis. In a shooting growing out of a simple dispute, three persons were killed near Columbus, Miss. Will Dent, a negro, killed John Brownlee, owner of a big plantation, with a shotgun. Shot from the charge "spread," killing Dent's wife. "Bo" Brownlee, brother of John, then killed the negro. Four men accused of lynching Charles P. Sellers June 18 on a ranch near Valentine, Neb., were sentenced to life imprisonment by Judge Westover in district court. Eunice Murphy, the girl accused of being an accessory before the fact, was ordered released. Charged with the murder of his brother, rival for the love of a girl, Elmer Ferris, aged twenty-seven, of Ava, Mo., has been placed in jail at Kansas City, Kan., and will be taken to Stockton, Kan, where which town the crime was committed. Rev. A. J. Burns, president of the Oneida Baptist college at Onelda, Ky., was shot from ambush. He died a few minutes later. Perry Burns, said to be a kinsman of the minister, is under arrest. Robbers who entered the postoffice at Mulberry, Kan., escaped with several packages of registered mail. One package is said to have contained $10,000. TWIN CITY STAR The first battle since the arrival of the imperial troops from the north of China was fought on the north bank of the Han river, just west of Hankow. It was indecisive, however, although the revolutionists temporarily drove the imperial troops back from their position. But in doing so they exhausted their rifle ammunition and were forced to retire. The revolutionists, with infantry and artillery, attacked the government troops, which were reinforced from the Chinese warships in the river and supported by the guns of the fleet. The Duke of Connaught was formally welcomed to Canadian shores at Quebec and shortly after he was sworn in as governor general. As he landed at the King's dock twenty-one guns at the citadel boomed out across the St. Lawrence, while thousands of loyal citizens took up the echo of the cannon and cheer after cheer passed along the crowded line of procession to the parliament building. The revolutionary movement in China is gaining momentum with every hour. It has swept the little city of Wuchang and the native headquarters of Hankow. Great numbers of Chinese are joining the movement voluntarily. The losses in the fighting thus far aggregate several hundred, but practically all the dead are Manchus. Fighting for the possession of the little town of Chiapilla, Mex., held by insurrectos whose strength was estimated at 900, a force of volunteers numbering but 190 killed 130 rebels and captured 106, eighteen of whom were wounded. The loss to the government forces is given as less than a dozen killed. All foreigners have been advised by their consuls to leave the districts affected by the rebellion in China. The Russian residents in Hankow have already taken refuge on a German boat and the other white people living in the city are preparing to board the foreign gunboats lying in the river. News of the first engagement between the Chinese revolutionists and the imperial forces has been received at San Francisco, a cablegram to the Chinese Free Press giving an account of the disabling of three government gunboats by the revolutionists near Hankow. An earthquake of brief duration occurred in Sicily, the strongest shocks being felt at the east base of Mount Aetna. Troops were dispatched to the work of rescue and removed twenty bodies. Eighty persons are known to have been injured. All passenger traffic between Peking and Tientsin has been suspended by the Chinese government, which is using every train out of the capital for the transportation of troops. POLITICAL NEWS. Purported statements of others that Edward Hines, the lumberman, helped to "put over" the election of United States Senator Isaac Stephenson of Wisconsin and that Hines and Stephenson each contributed $55,000 to a pot of $110,000 to induce the absence of Democratic members from the Wisconsin legislature March 4, 1909, so that Senator Stephenson might be elected, formed the basis of sensational testimony given by Thomas Morris, lieutenant governor of Wisconsin, before the senatorial investigating committee. La Follette's invasion of the East and Middle West is the next step in the progressive campaign against President Taft. His itinerary was delayed, awaiting the Chicago endorsement, but the coast is now clear for a triumphal march through the strongholds of progressivesism, with occasional detours into pronounced standpat districts. Bitter excoriation of President Taft, a promise to carry the fight for presidential nomination to the home and a plea for the aid of American women marked the opening at Chicago of the progressive element of the Republican party to nominate Senator Robert M. La Follette as the Republican candidate for president. Senator La Follette has been endorsed as the progressives' candidate for president without dissent. The conference of progressives at Chicago was a La Follette demonstration from start to finish. About thirty states were represented. Congressman L. B. Hanna has announced his candidacy for governor of North Dakota on the Republican ticket. MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. The first actual work of the Panama-Pacific International exposition, to be held at San Francisco in 1915, was begun when President Taft turned the first spadeful of earth at the fair site. The ships of the Pacific fleet, riding at anchor in the harbor, joined in the celebration and the line of march of the military parade was thronged by enthusiastic thousands. Mrs. Ida von Claussen, who first came into prominence through a controversy with the United States minister to Sweden and later with President Roosevelt, has been committed to the Bloomingdale (N. Y.) insane asylum. Twenty-three inches of snow fell at Anaconda, Mont., prostrating telegraph and telephone wires in all directions and putting out of commission practically all telephones in the city. The New York National league team defeated the Philadelphia American league players in the first game of the world's championship series by a score of 2 to 1. FOREIGN NEWS. Humor and Philosophy BY DUNCAN M. SMITH PERT PARAGRAPHS. IT is easy enough to explain a thing away, but it frequently refuses to stay away after the explanation. You can't keep a bad man down. He always bobs up with a plea for vindication. The only safe way is to believe every man guilty until he is arrested. It doesn't take a man long after he begins to talk to show just where his grouch is located. Train up your children in the way they should go and when they are grown they will have the same kind of a row with their own offspring. Most of us are vain, but it would puzzle an expert to show justification for the vanity. A clock is about the only thing that strikes and keeps on working. Hunger taken in liberal doses before meals is an excellent cure for indigestion. The man who has to eat his own words seldom has an appetite for a repetition. The coming man counts among his assets a good press agent. Guarding the Youth. The wise and sage committee Is to the dungeon leading In nearly every city The books our boys are reading. These works give life a glamour. That life is not processing. And so they take their hammer And do some things distressing. These little minds, unfolding Like blossoms in the garden, Need very careful molding And care lest they should harden. The warriors pitched Our boys to blood and thunder Are for the crime indicted. And is it any wonder? The book on which the "popper" Had fat and early feeding Is not regarded proper. The busy little starter With facts must fill his gable. Farewell, then, to Nick Carter, To Optic and his fable! These books are undeserving, But do not think to lose them— While no one is observing The youngsters will peruse them. Looked Well Preserved. "I wonder what the seventeen year locusts are like," said the blushing girl. "Don't you remember them?" asked the horrid man. "Of course not. I was too young when they were here before." "Weren't you as old then as you are now?" Not Qualified. "You say that she wouldn't be able to keep house if she were married?" "I don't think she could do it very well." "Why do you hold that opinion?" "Well, for one reason she thinks bites are bric-a-brac." "I don't think that girl ought to mastry." "Why?" "She doesn't know how to manage a house." "But you should see her manage a man!" A Hint. "What makes your baby cry so?" asked the unwelcome visitor. "He is hungry." "Does he all ways cry when he is hungry?" "No." "Then why does he cry now?" "He knows we don't feed him before company." "What makes your baby cry so?" asked the unwelcome visitor. "He is hungry." "Does he always cry when he is hungry?" "No." "Then why does he cry now?" "He knows we don't feed him before company." Why He Was Sure. "Have you seen anything of my son John?" "No, nor your son Bill." "I have no son Bill." "That is what I thought. I told my wife so when I didn't see him go by." The Way It Goes. "Jack and I kissed and made up." "Did?" "Yes." "Different here." "How is that?" "Charlie and I kissed and fell out." Every Time. "Pride goes before a fall." "Yes." "Do you know what comes after?" "No." "The merry ha-ha!" How He Felt. "Pa, do you think the harom skis will ever come in?" "Not in this house." Unappreciative. A man won't take his good advice And paste it in his hat. He writes it on a piece of ice And lets it go at that. 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. PROMINENT MASON IS DEAD. Robert H. Hucless died in New York City this week. High Masonic services were held in N. Y., on Wednesday night. His funeral took place on Thursday. He was a native of Richmond, Va., and has been for many years a prominent citizen of New York. He was once the President of the Southern Beneficial League, and at the time of his death was the Most Pulissant Sovereign Grand Commander of the United Supreme Council of the 33 and Last Degree of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite Free Masonry of the Northern Masonic Jurisdiction of the U. S. A. Grand East at the Valley of Philadelphia. 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.

This dainty accessory is of sheer handkerchief linen and suggests a Dutch neck at the back. A slide of lace takes the place of a brooch fastening. Another charming fuchs is the Charlotte Corday of handkerchief linen trimmed with real clunky lace. A sailor collar almost reaches the waist in the back, and the little tabs in front are modestly folded under a huge breastpin. A Nursery Romance Much has been written anent a suitable bride for the Prince of Wales, but no one who has discussed the subject in print seems to be aware of the nursery romance which started when the little Grand Duchess Oliga, eldest daughter of the czar and czarina, was at Balmoral with her parents. The Prince of Wales, a baby, too, took a violent fancy to his small second cousin. In those days the Grand Duchess could not talk, so she only laughed and put her tongue out at her would be suitor. A few years ago, when the czar and czarina brought over their family in the imperial yacht to Cowes, Prince Edward again met the grand duchess, who is growing up to be a tall girl, the image of her mother, and his royal highness, boylike, fought rather shy of her. But onlookers, as usual, seeing most of the game, noted that he cast many admiring glances at his pretty cousin and she at him. It's Plain, but Very Smart.
