WHERE AMERICA TRIUMPHED. FOR 384 years, the strongest nations of the earth have had it in their minds to build a Panama canal, but they never achieved what they felt would be a world benefit. It is just 384 years since Spain made the first exploration for a canal across the isthmus. The engineers of Charles V. reported favorably after the survey. At the time, Spain, the richest nation in the world, dared not attempt the task. Modern science has made it possible, just as modern science has finally developed golden grain belt beers, from the rudiments of the German lager. There is no liquid as pure. Mr. F.

NET PROCEDES FOR ATTUCKS HOME. The Auditorium Annex was packed to its limit last Wednesday night, when the McCullough Minstrel and Promenade, under the management of Nellie McCullough, assisted by Mr. Ralph Watson, presented the best array of amateur talent ever witnessed in this city. No local play ever proved a greater success. St. Paul was well represented in the audience. Over 500 people attended. The spacious hall and corridors were crowded. There was standing room only. Promptly at 8:30 the McCullough Orchestra played their Grand Overture, and from then there was not a ma MRS. NELLIE McCULLOUGH. mentes delay during the entire performance. The Ladies were most beautifully gowned and many of the gentlemen were attired in the conventinal broadcloth. The deportment was especially commendable. The curtain rose on the ministrel scene composed of 19 players. Jas. Burkes opened with "Steamboat Bill," and won the confidence of the house. It was then that every one decided that it was a real show. His singing and dancing brought great applause. Frank Payne sang "Abraham Lincoln Jones" with voice and mannerisms that scored him as one of the big hits, and Frank put over some jokes that were very original (big O.). Fred D. Gamble rendered a Barytone Solo, "Garland of Old Fashioned Roses," and received an ovation. "The Honey Boy," Little George Johnson sang "Going where the weather suits my clothes," with proper effect, and he was the favorite of the ladies during the show. Clarence McCullough sang a sentimental song "Don't you mind it, Honey." His voice, a clear and sweet tenor, full of pathos, would do honor to any score. The audience requested an encore, but Clarence wouldn't oblige, as the program was lengthy. That star of the end men—Clinton Davis, kept the house wild with laughter. He is a natural comedian, and his witticisms are of the highest order. Davis sang "Buckwheat Cakes" and every one wanted another stack. They got them. His make-up was a laugh itself. Ralph Watson, as interlocutor and stage manager was equal to the occasion. His brief introductions, style and articulation added much to the entertainment. Eddie Parker closed the first part with "That's why they call me shine" assisted by the Chorus. He attempted Geo. A. Cohan imitation, and his dancing drew applause. Andrew J. Monroe, W. M. Smith, Henry Thomas, Leon Minor, Leroy Austin and Earl Stewart were in the Chorus, which gave great support to all numbers. After a brief intermission the Olio was opened by one of the artistic numbers. A Drum Solo, "Oh, You Drummer" by John W. Tyler, the only professional in the cast. He demonstrated his ability to strike everything, everywhere, every time, and the Orchestra featured this member exceptionally well. Briscoe Lewis sang "Stay away Maryuse". His dialect singing was fair but without the costume he lost much of the effect. He received some applause, and saved his encore. A Juvenile Trio, Philip F. Hale Jr., Violinist Alfred Curtis Hale, Cornetist, Clarence Johnson, Traps and Drums was a grand demonstration of our young talent. They made good and deserve every The McCullough Junior Orchestra encouragement and special mention. The next number was beautifully staged. Mrs. Walter T. Dodson sang "Just a dream of you Dear" assisted by Quartette (Stewart, Gamble, McCullough, Ed. Davis). She sang with great expression, the voices of the quartette blended harmoniously. Her modest costume which brought out her good looks, and her sweet soprano voice produced the desired effect. This act took very well. Mrs. Dodson offered as an encore "Bless your ever loving little heart," showing her versatility. Both numbers drew great applause. Every one is praising Eldridge Williams, a versatile comedian, who imitated Bert Williams in "Next Week, Sometime, Not now." He is a very good singer and good dancer. He brought down the house. Williams is one of our best local entertainers. A clever team, Clinton and Eddie Davis, put on a comedy sketch, which they have booked in vaudeville. Both are full of wit and humor and goor musicians. Eddie is a good straight man, and Clint is overflowing with nonsense. Their work is of a lively order, full of comedy, intelligence and chatter. They featured the song "Ragtime Violin." This team received great compliments, and they should soon rank among our best performers. The comedy sketch "Three Twins" introducing the Johnsons—Misses Viola and Lillian and Lillian Lott, and Little Geo. The Johnson's are relatives of the famous Dean & Johnson. A duet "Worrying for you" by Misses Johnson was well received. Miss Lott proved a singing and dancing comedienne. She put on "I never had a man to love me like you," to the delight of everyone, and those girls could—Get over Sal. Little Geo. helped and there was a few appealed of fun and frolic. Some good dancing and a swell little stunt. The Quartette (Williams, Cullough, Davis and Stewart) rendered several choice selections which appealed to all music lovers. A selection by the McCullough Orchestra, (introducing Miss Grazia Corneal our talented Violinist, Edw. Green, Trombone, Chas. Minor, Cornet, Wm. Jones, Clarionet, and Tyler and those Drums,) was great. Their music was grand during the show and the dance programs. The Grand Ensemble of 24 voices concluded the entertainment, which was clean and snappy, never lagging, a credit to each member of the company and to the people of Minneapolis. Mr. Geo. Holbert announced that the Hall would be cleared for the dance, also in very appropriate language (and he can talk some) stated that Mrs. McCullough wished to thank the patrons for their hearty support also for their high approval of the efforts of those who took any part in the entertainment. The Ushers were Messrs Robt. Glenn, J. Edw. Stewart, Geo. Holbert and Nimrod Singleton. Miss Fannie Johnson and Mrs. Edw. Stewart served the refreshment. Mr. Walter Dodson, received the tickets, Mr. Jas. Burkes, Floor Manager. Dancing continued till 1:30 and all who attended expressed themselves as enjoying a pleasant evening. The net proceeds were for the benefit of the Attucks Home. The full account of all proceeds will be published after all returns are made. The affair was grand and the cause very worthy.—Rev. M. W. Witers. It was a very creditable performance and well staged. Just what is necessary to develop our talent.—Dr. Fred C. Nelson. "It was just grand."—Miss Alice Marshall. Mr. Chas. H. Miller of St. Paul, says that "it was very good and he is proud of our talent." Well, he certainly knows. "It was a high class entertainment." —Joe Young. THE WORKING MEN'S SOCIAL CLUB. Messrs. Lemuel and Sylvester Oliver, the popular young managers of the Working Men's Club celebrated their First Anniversary on Tuesday eve. They served roast turkey and potato salad with many other good things. Prof. Seymour's Trio furnished music on the lower floor, and "Sugar" McDonald entertained at the Plano where the ladies were received on the upper floor. There were many callers, all who wished many prosperous years to "The Olivers." BIG MASQUERADE BALL JUDGE JOHNSON, MGR. AT SOUTH SIDE AUDITORIUM 12th Ave. and 3rd Street TUESDAY FEB. 6TH, 1911. ADMISSION 35c. RELIEF SOCIETY CENTURY OLD First New York African Body Was Organized In 1808. First New York African Body Was Organized In 1808. STARTED IN SCHOOLHOUSE. Interesting Historical Sketch of an Incorporated Organization Which Came Into Being Long Before the Dawn of Freedom — Legislative Acts and Names of First Officers. New York.—The New York African Society For Mutual Relief was organized in 1808 and chartered by the legislature of New York in 1810. the bill granting it a charter being presented by Assemblyman Brower. The society was organized June 6, 1808, in the schoolhouse for colored children on Rose street, a constitution was adopted and the following roster of officers elected for its government: William Hamilton, John Teasman Henry Sipkins, Adam Carman, Daniel Berry, Adam Ray, Daniel Brownhill James McEwan, Henry Rouse, Samuel Charley, Richard Tankard, Samuel Clause, Benjamin Slighter and Peter Vogelsang. A permanent organization having thus been perfected, these gentlemen proceeded to petition the legislature, praying for an act of incorporation. Their petition was rend and referred to a select committee consisting of the following members of the assembly representing New York city: Thomas Farmar, Solomon Townsend. Augustus Wright, Samuel L Mitchell, Abraham E. Brower, Caleb Pell, Samuel Torker, John P. Anthony, Ichabod Proll, B. M. Van Buren and Adrian Hegeman. This committee reported favorably upon the bill, entitled "An act to incorporate the New York African Society For Mutual Relief," which had been ordered to a second reading. On March 23, 1810, a message from the honorable the council of revision, delivered by its secretary, was read, to the effect that it did not appear improper to the council that the bill entitled "An act to incorporate the New York African Society For Mutual Relief" (and others mentioned, including the Mechanic bank) should severally become laws of the state. The late John J. Zulille in his historical sketch of this society says: Thus began the corporate existence of our ancient and honorable institution—ancient because the first society of its class organized among us to receive legislative aid, honorable because for a period of time it was the test ofvere public scrutiny, and today stands unsuiled in its reputation, bearing aloft all its honors, challenging the admiration of the community, carrying with it the esteem of young and old of the present generation, increasing in strength, advancing in the accumulation of knowledge of the elements that constitute the greatest respectability and highest of its class. Our incorporation was far in advance of the spirit of the age. It was six years before the legislature had passed the act to make New York a free state and about seventeen years before such act should have been passed. The parental society before the manhood of its membership was acknowledged by the community at large, but it was the law. March 23 was made a memorable day. To celebrate it in an appropriate manner, to appear on the public streets with flying colors and a band of music for the occasion, the consequences were feared among our own members and to some extent our friends. One friend remarked, and his remark was echoed by others, "Your society has a perfect right to every immunity which every other society has under its act of protection. By its obligation to preserve the peace, protect and defend you, but such is the malignity of public prejudice that the authorities would be entirely powerless to protect you on the streets, and you would be torn in piece by howling mobs." Nevertheless arrangements were completed, and headed by a full band composed of Negroes marched through the streets of the city. "We will go through death stares us in the face," said Hamilton Latham Teasman and the rest of them, and they did go with hearts of true men. By their daring they compelled the monster public prejudice to falter in its step. So the men gave him the courage, hurting him to the earth, traumatized and, foolishly, trarote body, proclaiming themselves victor over him with the right secured to march through the public streets of the city at will then and thereafter forever. At this celebration, memorable in the history of the Negroes of New York city and state, the constitution and dispatches of a congratulatory nature were read. An ode composed and set to music by James Latham, one of the founders of the society, was sung. The procession marched past the homes of the gentry in the fashionable and aristocratic sections and was greeted with cheers and the waving of handkerchiefs. Being thus recognized by the best people in the city, the rowdy element feared the consequences of any interference with them. These celebrations were kept up for a number of years and were the principal features of the social life of the solored people. The example set by the African society was followed by other benevolent societies. But after a few years the African Society For Mutual Relief abandoned this form of celebration and substituted one more suitable. On March 12, 1840, on motion of the Hon. A. H. Livingstone, a state senator, a bill granting a renewal of the charter of the society or to extend the act of incorporating the New York African Society For Mutual Relief was read a third time in the senate and passed, receiving the necessary two thirds votes of all the members present. Those voting for the bill were Senators Clark, A. B. Dickinson, Dixon, D. S. Dickinson, Edwards, Ely, Furman, Hawkins, Hopkins, Hull, Hunt, Johnson, Lee, H. A. Livingstone, Moseley, Nichols, Peck, Skinner, Tallimage, Van Dyck, Wager, Works, Young - 23; nays, 0. It was thereupon ordered that the clerk deliver said bill to the assembly and inform that body that the senate had passed the same without amendment. A message was received from the senate informing the house of its action and a later message from the governor stating that he had signed the bill to extend the act incorporating the New York African Society For Mutual Relief. Mr. Zulille adds, "Referring back to the first organization of our society in 1808, we find that it was formed one year after the organization of the Society of Physicians and Surgeons of New York, that we were incorporated six years after the American Bible society was formed and thirty-two years before the introduction of Groton water into the city of New York, eleighteen years before the American Institute was founded, forty-two years before the founding of the Young Men's Christian association, forty-seven years before Central park was set apart as a place of popular resort." The society got right down to business after it had acquired its charter in 1820 and began buying property. It owned a house at 42 Baxter street valued at $20,000, one on Greenwich avenue valued at $17,000 and other real estate in sections of New York city where the prices are now almost prohibitive, valued at $40,000 (big values for those days). One of its treasurers with an itching palm decamped with over $1,100 of the society's funds, but it kept right on doing and achieving to its everlasting credit. The members of the African society were a type of Negroes all too scarce at the present day. They were real men, men with a purpose, and they accomplished their purpose. They vindicated the character and proved the capacity of black men for business. New York's Negro business men at that early day occupied a conspicuous place in the business and commercial life of the city, as the following roster will show: William Hamilton, Sr., William Hamilton, Jr., James Latham, Edward Latham, house carpenters; Henry Brynes, Richard Augustus, Alexander Elston, Prince Loveridge, Isaac Goshl, William Brooks, bootmakers; George DeGrasse, Thomas L. Augustus, Alexander Elston, Prince Loveridge, Isaac Goshl, William Brooks, Sr. E. Vincent, Ep Davis, feed dealers; Henry Scott, pickle dealer; Thomas A baggot, soap chandler; Thomas Downing, Boston Crummell, Moses Blew, Robert Watson, Peter Van Dyck, William A. Tyson, John Jackson, Francis Cook, oyster dealers or restaurateurs; Cato Alexander, first class vehicles or on horseback near the shot trot; William Hutson, intelligence office; Philip A. Bell, editor and publisher; Revs. William Miller, James Varlick, Christopher Rush, Peter William, Thomas Paul, Samuel E. Corrall, Theodore Elston, Richard B. McMinn and Timothy Ewore were the spiritual advisers and guides of the ambitious and progressive black men of those days. AGAINST JIMCROW LAWS. Louisiana Supreme Court Upholds Rights of Colored Citizens. New Orleans.-The recent decision of the supreme court of Louisiana in respect to jimcrow car laws should gladden the heart of every American citizen who believes in law and order and fair and equal treatment according to law for every American citizen and who believes in legal rights and law enforcement as against mob law. The decision of the court is to the effect that a colored person has a vested right to a seat in a street car, despite the jimcrow law in effect in New Orleans and other Louisiana cities, and that he cannot be moved from a seat in the white compartment of a car, provided there is no seat in the Negro section. The appeal was that of Joseph Anderson against the New Orleans Railways and Light company. The tribunal affirms the verdict for damages awarded Mr. Anderson and increases the amount from $50 to $250. The partitions on the street cars in this city are movable. The opinion holds that a conductor has a right to move the partitions, but continues: "Where a passenger has found a seat in the compartment assigned to his race the officer has no right by moving the partition to put him in the wrong compartment when there is no seat to be found in the compartment thus newly established for his race." A number of other cases based upon the jimcrow law are also pending in the courts. Luther Long Gets Scholarship Prize. Out of an enrollment of 400 boys at the State Industrial school in Golden, Colo., Luther Long, a student from Pueblo, made the best record in deportment, industry and scholarship during the school term of 1911. He was awarded the Schermerhorn prize of $10 in gold. The prize was the gift of Senator John R. Schermerhorn, whose home is also in Pueblo. Thus at the beginning of 1912 this young colored lad stands at the head of the entire student body in scholarship. Farmers' Improvement Society. The Colored Farmers' Improvement society, which was organized last December in Colorado county, Tex., seeks, among other things, to abolish the credit system, to enable its members to come together for discussion of topics of interest to farmers and to stimulate the members who are homeless to acquire homes and to urge those who are already possessed of homes to improve and beautify them. TWIN CITY STAR SUNDAY SCHOOL SUNDAY SCHOOL Lesson V.—First Quarter, For Feb. 4, 1912. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Matt. ii, 1-12. Memory Verses, 1, 2—Golden Text. Isa. xlv, 22—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. Although it is but a few weeks since we had this portion as a Christmas lesson, we come to it again with great desire to know more intimately Him of whom it speaks, Jesus, King of the Jews, that we may worship Him as He says we should and as the Father desires, "in spirit and in truth" (John iv, 23, 24; v, 23). Remember His own words in the wilderness, "Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and Him only shalt thou serve" (chapter iv, 10); also the words of the heavenly messenger to John in Patmos when he fell down to worship at his feet, "See thou do it not; * * * worship God" (Rev. xix, 19; xii, 9). More mouth and lip worship He hates and all that is taught by commandments of men (chapter vv, 7-9; Isa. 1, 13, 14; xix, 13). It is the heart that He has regard to. He searcheth the heart and tries the reins and desires truth in the inward parts (1 Sam. xvl, 7; Jer. xvil, 10). GREETINGS TO ALL KNIGHTS TEMPLARS: Dear Brothers Sir Knights as your Grand Marshal for the International Conference of Knights Templars which will convene in the city of Washington in 1912, I send you greetings and ask that you begin preparing to make the pilgrimage to that city. Get ready for the grand parade to be held on that occasion. Let us show the world just what we can do in this matter. It will require the united efforts of all who are interested in the success of Templarism to make this a day long to be remembered among our number. TO CAPTAIN GENERALS. Each Captain General should communicate with me, so that I can arrange our line of march and assign each Commandery to their respective position therein. This is very important. I want 5,000 Sir Knights to be in the line of march up Pennsylvania Ave. in August, 1912. Massachusetts and Rhode Island will bring about 200 Swords, bright, clean and well drilled. The R. E. G.

They chose any time or place to perform any ceremonies which may appeal to their fads or fancies. — The lynching of Negroes by white men is prevalent, yet the lynching of white men by white men has proven that this lawlessness is not born of prejudice alone, but out of a custom practiced by these public executioners, who disregard the written laws of the land and hold justice as a mockery.

It is a personality. It comes into your house almost as a member of your family. What sort of a person do you like to have visit you? He ought to be honest, courageous, no hypocrite, and a gentleman, with a real interest in you, ready to lend a hand if you need help. Cheerfulness and good humor are excellent qualities, and a wide range of interests. What do you find in The Star? It has opinions, of course, and it speaks them out freely. They are its own and they are not influenced by outside interests. The square deal is its platform. In handling news it observes the decencies and amenities of life. It never wantonly brings shame or sorrow to any home. Its advertisements are clean. If the Twin City Star does not bring you something of interest in any particular issue, it has failed by so much that week. It takes of its hat and apologizes for having bored you as a visitor. But it trusts this doesn't often happen. Not often, does it?

Dr. S. N. Vass. Busy Life of the Man Who Represents the Race In American Baptist Publication Society—Institutions Which He Has Served and Character of His Work. By N. BARNETT DODSON. Raleigh, N. C.—Among the vast number of intelligent, scholarly and well informed students of the Bible without exception the Rev. Dr. S. N. Vass of this city is considered to be one of the foremost. For about twenty years he has been connected with the American Baptist Publication society in the capacity of superintendent of all the work of the society, which is carried on in the interest of Afro-Americans. Dr. Vass has traveled quite extensively over the United States delivering lectures and holding Bible institutes. He has been engaged from time to time by many of the leading churches and institutions of learning to deliver a series of lectures for the benefit of divinity students and other persons who devote their time to missionary work and other vocations of a religious character. Great success has attended his efforts, and many have been the benefits which have accrued from the wealth of information which he has imparted to the seekers after truth. One of the most helpful of his northern lectures during the past year was the course of lectures bearing on Old REV. DR. S. N. VASS. Testament history, which occupied a week at the Concord Baptist church in Brooklyn last fall, of which the Rev. Dr. William M. Moss is the successful and highly esteemed pastor. Dr. Vass' thorough knowledge of Old Testament Scripture and his native ability to impart it in a plain, straightforward and convincing manner drew large audiences each evening. His blackboard illustrations, maps and charts were the means by which he made lasting impressions upon the minds of his hearers. The result of this course of Bible instruction was that a number of persons decided to pursue a special course of study by correspondence. The members of the church and teachers in the Sunday school were aroused as never before to make better preparations for their work as teachers and church officials. Since completing his northern circuit Dr. Vass has filled many engagements at southern schools. His recent lectures which were delivered to the theological students of Shaw university in this city were highly instructive and pleasing. From Shaw university Dr. Vass was invited by Dr. Booker T. Washington to go to the Tuskegee institute in Alabama to lecture to the students of the Phelps Hall Bible Training school, of which the Rev. Dr. A. F. Owens is the dean. From Tuskegee Dr. Vass' next college engagement will probably be at Benedict college, in Columbia, S. C. His services are in great demand. He visits and speaks at a majority of church conferences and conventions which are held annually and at different times throughout the country. Among the subjects discussed in these lectures are how to the Bible came to the world' how to build up a strong race, the Jewish commonwealth, the prophets and their work, Christian life and doctrine, the life of Christ and the final triumph of the cross. These lectures cover each about one hour. One is given at each session of an institute. As to how many are given at any one church or institution depends upon how long the institute is to be held. They are given to all classes and are suitable for all conditions, the more ignorant as well as the more intelligent, and are therefore popular because of the simplicity of the language used and the personal interest which the speaker manifests in each individual. Work of the National Association. The National Association For the Advancement of Colored People continues to hammer away against unjust discrimination, lynching and other barbarous and criminal practices common to the life of this nation. PUBLISHERS' OPPORTUNITY Advertising Agencies Lean Toward Papers Edited by Afro-Americans. "Within the past two weeks, since Jan. 1," says Albon Lewis Holsey, "the proprietors of two well known advertising agencies have consulted me with regard to advertising propositions for papers published by and in the interest of Afro-Americans. In each case reliable information was sought as how best to reach the largest number of papers at once. "I named to such inquirers a long list of papers published by our people, gave their location and quoted their approximate circulation. This seems to me to be a fine opening for a number of publications to greatly increase the number of advertisements from that which they are now carrying. "Why not combine their efforts to secure advertisements? Such organizations as the National Negro Press association should inaugurate a large advertising campaign to let the general advertising public know the value of their papers as advertising mediums. At the last session of the Negro Press association I had planned to offer this suggestion, but the time was squandered in electing officers and arguments over trivial matters. "I spoke to President Lewey about this matter, and he expressed himself as being much in sympathy with such a movement. It is my hope that this matter will be taken up at the next meeting, for advertising is certainly one of the vital factors in journalistic activity." BELIEVES IN ADVERTISING. Results of Its Constant Use Shown by Baltimore Druggists. Baltimore.—The value of continual advertising in race papers is exemplified in the remarkable success that Stokes & Derry, druggists, of this city have had within the past three years. Starting out in 1908, they have built up a business that exceeds that done by any of the four other colored drug stores of the city. When asked recently what he thought had contributed to the success of his business venture Dr. E. Verry Stokes, senior member of the firm, said: "I attribute much of the success that we have had in the drug business to the fact that we have always let the public of Baltimore know through the local race papers what we have to sell. I am firmly of the opinion that colored men in business can add considerably to the volume of trade done by advertising their wares in race papers. "White men who are successful along business lines continually let the people know what they have to sell by advertising. Another factor in business success is letting the public have the right goods at the right prices, and if you have not an article that a customer wants make a strenuous effort to get it. Up to date methods, modern equipment, polite and quick service, also help immensely." Dr. Stokes is a native of Baltimore. While studying in the Baltimore colored high school he worked in one of the drug stores of the city. He then entered the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, where he was graduated in 1908. While in Philadelphia he filled the position of pharmacist at the Frederick Douglass Memorial hospital and nurse training school. He returned to Baltimore and passed a very creditable examination as pharmacist. Dr. Derry is a native of Baltimore also. He was educated in the Baltimore public schools, Lincoln university and Oberlin college, afterward studying pharmacy at the University of Michigan. He worked for a number of years in local drug stores before embarking into business on his own account. Knights of Pythias' Annual Carnival. The annual mask ball and Pythian carnival of Ben-Hur lodge No. 19. Knights of Pythias, recently held in Brooklyn, was largely attended and was also a social and financial success. The officers of the lodge are Edward Henry, John Curtis, Thomas T. Scott, Charles E. Porter, Robert Lee, Cornellus Lovett, Robert Baynard, William H. McFarland, Gaston Smith and Anthony Fenty.

Washington to Tour Florida. The managers of the tour of Dr. Booker T. Washington which is to be made through Florida have announced that the start will be made at Pensacola on Friday. March 1. The pilgrimage will end in Jacksonville Thursday night. March 7. A number of successful business men and educators will accompany Dr. Washington on the trip through the state. TWIN CITY STAR Cutaway Coats Approved by Best French Tailors. A SUIT OF TAN CLOTH. There is something essentially French and chic in this gay little cutaway coat, which is part of a Dreccol suit built for a spring bride. The suit is of tan cloth, with a band of black ottoman silk on the square collar and buttons of black jet with pearl centers. The boots and gloves are champagne color, the boots being in new galter top style, with uppers of tan cloth, having flat white buttons. Wielding the Broom. It is not an easy matter to sweep well, at any rate, if one judges by experience, for when a broom is put into the hands of the inexperienced more harm than good generally results from the use of it. Light sweeping and soft brooms are desirable. Many a carpet is prematurely worn out by careless sweeping. In sweeping thick piled carpets always brush the way of the pile. By doing so it may be kept clean for years. But if the broom is used in a different way the dust will enter the carpet and soon destroy it. If the carpet covers the whole floor of the room and it is nalled down, place the chairs and other articles of furniture which can be easily moved in the middle of the room, pin up the curtains and cover the couch with an old sheet. Pieces of damp paper may be sprinkled around the sides of the room, and then sweep with a carpet broom to ward one place. Take short strokes, being careful not to raise the broom much. Sweep the corners and edges with a small whisk-broom. Kit of Shop Necessitie In a smart looking case of tan leather are packed these necessities for a smart and correct toilet. All the appliances for taking care of black, tan APPLIANCES FOR SHOE CLEANING. and white boots are included, and there are even little brushes for finding dust in stitching and perforations of the leather. The Test of a Play. John Craig, the donor of the Craig prize for plays, which has been given both last year and this year to women students at Radcliffe in preference to Harvard students who apply, says that the common fault of plays submitted is talkiness. Usually half of the first act is taken up with dialogue that gets nowhere. They Don't Grow Old There is a law in Germany that when a dog or a cat has passed the age of six years it must be turned over to the police to be killed. Not a dozen animals are turned over a year. No matter how old a cat or dog becomes, the owner vows that the age is five years to a day. WORLD'S FAIR IN THE WOODS. Jenkins Orphange to Hold Lengthy Series of Entertainments. Charleston, S. C.-The world's fair in the woods is the title of a series of literary and musical entertainments which will be given under the auspices of the Jenkins orphanage in this city, beginning on Monday. Feb. 5, to run three weeks. For twenty-one years similar entertainments have been successfully held for the benefit of orphan children cared for by the institution. The mayor of the city and other prominent citizens have consented to make addresses at different times during the series, and the outlook for a profitable ingathering of funds is encouraging. The churches and other organized bodies for religious and material uplift will take an active part in helping the asylum to raise the sum of $1,000, which amount is much needed to enable the management to care for the large number of orphan children housed by the institution this winter. Iev. D. J. Jenkins, founder and president of the orphanage, has asked for 500 volunteers to assist in the work, besides a special committee which has charge of the arrangements. Through the uniting zeal of the Rev. Mr. Jenkins many friends from among both races have become much interested in the orphage and contribute annually to its support. These friends are not confined to Charleston alone, but are scattered in different sections, north, east and west. Any one desiring to help a worthy cause could find no better channel through which to contribute for the making of an intelligent citizenship than the Jenkins orphage. The city council and the charities commissioners are interested in the institution to the extent of not only placing the funds which the city provides for its support, but take an active part on the official board of managers. The report of the orphage for 1911 has been compiled and forwarded to the commissioners, who will in turn submit the same to the city council. An accurate account of all funds donated is kept on record and published annually. The children are taught the various industries or trades, such as sowing, embroidery, domestic science, basketry, sheoaking, chair caning and kindred subjects. Many former imates of the asylum who have grown to manhood and womanhood are now engaged in gainful occupations. Elementary subjects are also taught. Vocal and instrumental music are among the most interesting of the educational features. CODE OF ETHICS BY CRISIS. Influential Publication Issues Broad and Manly Declaration of Principles. In the January number of the Crisis Magazine the following editorial for the new year occurs under the caption "I Am Resolved." It reads thus: I am resolved in this new year to play the man—to stand straight, look the world squarely in the eye and walk to my work with no shuffle or slouch. I am resolved in this new year satisfied with no treatment which ignores my manhood and my right to be counted as one among men. I am resolved to be quiet and law abiding, but to refuse to cringe in body or in soul, to resent deliberate insult and to present rights in the face of wanion aggression. I am resolved to defend and assert the absolute equality of the Negro race with any and all other human races and its divine right to equal and just treatment. I am resolved to be ready at all times and in all places to bear witness with pen, voice, money and deed against the horrific injustice of bracing the shame of limerow legislation, the injustice of all color discrimination, the wrong of disfranchisement for race or sex, the iniquity of war under any circumstances and the deep damnation of present methods of distributing the world's work and wealth. I am resolved to defend the poor and the weak of every race and hue and especially to guard my mother, my wife, my sister and my niece from the insults and aggressions of white men and black with the last strength of my body and the last suffering of my soul. For all these things I am resolved unfinchingly to stand, and if this resolve cost me pain, poverty, slander and even life itself I will remember the word of the prophet—how he sang: "Though Love repine and Reason chaffe, There came a voice, without reply. "His man's perdition to be safe" to die." When for the truth he ought to die!" Messengership For James D. Gross. As a reward for diligence and because of his peculiar fitness for the position the Hon. Frank J. Harris, county treasurer in Pittsburgh, has appointed Mr. James D. Gross messenger in his office. Mr. Gross was for two years a turnkey at the central police station. He has also served seven years as a deputy constable in the Seventh and Elighth wards. He is a prominent member of royal grand lodge, No. 31, Knights of Pythias, and captain of Greater Pittsburgh company, No. 14, of the uniform rank of the order. Juvenile Buds of Promise Prosper.

Williams to Conduct Clinic. The annual clinic at Meharry Medical college. Nashville. Tenn., will be held the first week in February and will be conducted by Dr. Daniel E.

Encouraging returns are being received from communications sent to all of the various states. The local committee is sparing no pains to make this event one which will be a credit to the Negroes of St. Paul. When Dr. White speaks before a convention, it is bound to follow him into St. Paul. The next convention to follow him is the "Negro National Educational Congress, from July 15 to 19. The officers are: J. Silas Haris, Kansas City, President, Miss Juliet C. Alves, Henderson, Ky., Rec. Sec.; Prof. Harry R. Graham of Kansas City, Kan., Cor. Sec.; Dr. White is receiving the support of all the Race loving people in the Twin Cities, who will help entertain the visitors from all of the States on the Union. BRYAN AND VARDAMAN. In the current issue of The Commoner, Colonel Bryan announces with unconcealed satisfaction that United States Senator-elect Vardaman of Mississippi has been exonerated of all blame in connection with alleged irregularities in the handling of the state funds and adds: "Mr. Vardaman is a faithful friend of the people and will be a power for good in the United States Senate." The general public will be slow in sharing Colonel Bryan's optimism over the good points of Senator Vardaman or the prospect of his being a power for good in the United States Senate. The general public has no way of judging Senator Vardaman except by his record and that is far from satisfactory. He has been one of the most persistent stirrers-up of race prejudice in the South, has appealed to the passions and prejudices of the ignorant against the law, the courts and established order, and has promised to let no day end in his official career at Washington without fighting for the repeal of the Fifteenth amendment and denouncing existing social and economic conditions of the country. He has promised, in effect, to be a demagogue and agitator. He has done nothing and said nothing, so far as the public knows, to justify Colonel Bryan's prediction that he will be a power for good in public life at Washington—Editorial from St. Paul Pioneer Press, Jan. 22, 1912. It is even thus. Mr. Bryan, Mr. Wilson, Mr. Harmon and Mr. Clark may personally be good Democratic fundamental timber, but they are bound to stand for such as Vardaman. They may draw the platform and shape the policy of the party in all matters pertaining to the tariff; the referendum and recall railroad rates, and kindred matters, but when it comes to the rights, privileges and status of the Negro, Vardaman, Tillman, Hefflin, Davis and their ilk will be on the job and what show has even a Negro Democrat in such hands? How prominent members of our race who pose as leaders and tell us they have our interest at heart can advise us to wallow in the political pig pen with Vardaman, Tillman, Hefflin, Davis et al, without blushing for shame is more than good citizens can understand.—Wm. T. Francis. THE MUSING PRINTER. The printer sat on his trusty stool, and drummed a tune with his metal rule. "Gee whizz," quoth he, "I cannot see, why life so deals with you and me. There's the banker there, as rich as sin, who keeps a squeezing his fifty tin, till the eagle squawks and the woman screams like one harassed by midnight dreams. I sit here on my stool all day, and stick this type while I sing the lay, of men in higher lines of work who act to me like they always shirk, I'm glad there's one thing left that cheers, and that's good golden grain belt beers. I know they're finer than the rest.—How do I know? They taste the best." THE SOUTHERN THEATRE. The Southern Theatre has complied with all requirements of law and has passed that thorough inspection which, was made last week by the special committee of the Council, and the Building Inspector and Fire Marshal We are glad to make this announcement, because Manager Kelley has been at all times courteous to the Negro patrons of his theatre, and, whenever, he has an opportunity books Negro acts from the local spot light singers to the high class traveling teams.

Lincoln's Birthday, February 12th, should be observed with appropriate exercises. Let us cherish the memory of our emancipator and martyred President. Prominent, Negroes have protested to Pres. Taft against the appointment of Judge Wm. C. Hook as the successor to the late John M. Harlan, a member of the U. S. Supreme Court. Opposition is based on the decision he gave in the case of McCabe vs. Santa Fe Ry. (186 F. R.) upholding the Jim Crow Cars. There was no foundation to the rumor that a large number of sleeping-car porters were discharged on the Great Northern on account of stealing. A few may have "made up their shortage of salary," but this will continue until they are paid living wages, and not be forced to beg or steal while in the employ of public service corporations. Detective Ray of the G. N. Ry., flushed his game. The tip got out. We are going over our list of subscribers and we are forced to ask that immediate settlement be made by all who are indebted to us. We need the money to meet our obligations and we desire to give our readers a good newsy paper and we cannot do this unless those who owe us pay, some part of their subscrip- Mrs. Hinson at the St. Louis Kitchen will serve a Chicken Dinner (Her specialty) every Thursday. Bryan says "he will not be a candidate"—also says who shall be a candidate?" Kind words, pleasant smiles, pure thoughts and charitable acts not only help us live, but often make another's life worth living. We are building a great circulation. Help us by sending this paper to your friends out of town. Others have done so, with satisfactory results. Why can't you? People are taking an interest in the Twin City Star. They are paying their subscription in advance. Yet many are delinquent, and we are forced to cut them off. Promises do not pay our bills. B. & O. JIM CROW COLORED WOMEN. Separate Waiting and Toilet For .. In Camden Station. CITIZENS WILL BOYCOTT THE ROAD. Baltimoreans Will Resent Insult Imposed Upon Them For No Reason Whatever. Baltimore, Md. Jan. 27.—The latest to enter the "Jim Crow" list is the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, and it has gone into it with a vengeance. For the first time in Baltimore, we have waiting rooms and toilet rooms separate, for white and colored patrons of the road. If this is true of Baltimore City, we presume it is equally true of the stations outside of the city. Of this, however, we have not been informed. Hearing that "Jim Crow" rooms had been established in Camden Station, this city,a reporter of this paper was sent to look the situation over and found it to be true. These signs are not small ones, a sort of apology for the insult offered colored women and men—patrons of the road—but large and prominent, so that no mistake can be made, and those who run may read. Moreover, the room alloted to colored women is a small affair, and like all of its sort, anything else but inviting. A most pleasing thing to see, while the reporter was investigating, was that a number of colored women, waiting for the train, contented themselves in remaining outside of both rooms, in the main lobby. It showed, as nothing else can show, that they did not propose to be humiliated in this manner. There seems to have been no especial occasion for this innovation, except, possibly, some smart fellow, who had an eye to the invasion next June of a large number of Southern delegates to the Democratic Convention, and therefore wished to get on good terms with that contingent. During the coming summer several conventions and conferences will be held at which large numbers of colored men and women will be in attendance. A strong effort will be put on foot by members and delegates in this city who will attend, to have those in charge of the arrangements to as far as possible use other roads. Agitation looking to this result has already been started. It may pay to "Jim Crow" us but we will not let it go without an effort to try to break it down—The Afro-American Ledger. POINTS PATH OF PROGRESS. Booker T. Washington, the well-known leader of the movement to make the Negro a useful citizen, has just written "My Larger Education," which is a collection of his experiences as a public man and as an educator. It is practically a continuation of his "Up From Slavery" and carries on the story. In this volume Mr. Washington notes the mistakes that have been made and points to the path of progress in the further education of the black race. As the leading authority on problems growing out of the occupation of American soil by the Negro, all that he says is of interest. Numerous illustrations give the book an added value. New York: Doubleday, Page & Co. NEGRO VAGRANTS The city of Minneapolis is fast becoming a shelter for vagrants. There are men who are at times unable to get employment, but who are willing to earn an honest living. There are many others, who are generally known as idlers. They are no good to our race, no support to the places that tolerate them, or to themselves. A round up of all vagrants will better our condition. The Vag Law must be enforced.
