No. 36 mathematics in his alma mater and remained there four years, when he became professor of mathematics in Central Tennessee college, now Walden university, at Nashville. In this capacity he became the main support of Dr. Braden, the president, especially interesting himself in the young men and women of the institution. Fourteen years ago, on the recommendation of Bishop J. C. Hartzell, at that time corresponding secretary of the Freedmen's Aid society, he was elected president of Wiley university He accepted the position with a full appreciation of the grave responsibilities assumed and threw himself into the work with vigor and enthusiasm. The floorwalker went home tired the first night of his new work, which was a Saturday night, and the next morning he preached a sermon on "Why I Resigned, or Cogs In the Wheels of Progress." Hicks is a deep student and until he took his new job never knew anything familiarly but theology. Some of the more stald members of his congregation regard his latest venture as the most daring and unconventional thing he ever attempted, but it is not his first departure from convention Leaving Panama Beach at 9:45 a.m., he circled over Panama City and the canal's entrance for awhile, then rose high and steered toward Colon, where he encountered a twenty-five mile breeze. In continuing to Cristobal the motor suddenly stopped, after missing fire, through the gasoline giving out. Hamilton City, Cal.-Taking advantage of the freaks of the Sacramento river in making land along its course, John P. Ryan, a well known young civil engineer of Hamilton City, will in a few years become possessor of 100 acres of the finest land in California, as he has filed a homestead on 100 acres on Packer island, in the river a short distance south of Butte City. The Mexican government made the west bank of the Sacramento river the eastern boundary of the Larkins grant. At that time there was a channel around Packer island which filled up on the west side as the years went by and the island became a part of the Larkins grant. The land on the opposite side of the river was surveyed and the island was not included. The owners of the Larkins grant claimed the island, and their right was not disputed. As Ryan has notified the other owners on the island, there are no more lucky acres to be obtained by homesteading. GREAT CENTER OF EDUCATION HIGH GRADE CURRICULUM. Founded Forty Years Ago For the Full Mental and Moral Development of Its Students, the Institution Wields a Most Helpful Influence Throughout the Community and State. Marshall, Tex.—Wiley university was established in 1873. It is said to have more students in the college department than any other school in the state. The faculty is made up of a splendid group of men and women from such well known institutions of learning as Harvard, Yale. University of Chicago. New Orleans university, Fisk, Walden, Clark and Biddle. The music department is one of the best in the entire south. Professor Harry Webber, the principal, is assisted by four regular teachers in giving systematic instruction to more than a hundred pupils. Fourteen pianos and three organs are constantly in use. The choir renders classical selections from "The Messiah," "The Creator." MATTHEW W. DOGAN. "Elijah." etc., and sings with great feeling and tenderness the old plantation melodies. Wiley stands for the highest form of mental development. The different courses of study have been carefully selected, and the best teachers available have been employed. There are at the present time fifty in the college classes. Wiley takes a position of uncompromising opposition to the saloon. During a recent local option campaign the college brass band played free of charge at many of the meetings, and the Young Men's Christian association of 150 members held meetings in all sections of the state. The drys won by a decisive majority. The state school commissioners recently placed Wiley on their accredited list, which gives the graduates from the college department a first class certificate for life to teach, without examination. In the public schools of the state. Only three colored schools are granted this privilege throughout the country, and Wiley is one of them. The industrial work is of the most practical kind. Farming, electrical engineering, broommaking, carpentry, masonry, printing, sewing, dressmaking, millinery and cooking are taught Matthew W. Dogan, president of Wiley university, has had a unique and interesting career. He was born on a Mississippi cotton plantation of slave parents, and in the early days of his childhood he determined to get an education by which he could become of large service to his people. By chance the family removed to Holly Springs, the seat of Rust university. This gave young Dogan the opportunity for which for so many years he had been longing. The family, however, was poor, the father earning a scanty living as proprietor of a barber shop. Young Dogan at once started to school, largely supporting himself by working as a bootblack in his father's shop. Many a day while "shining shoes" he kept his eye on the open page, his book lying under the chair, and in this way he often prepared his lesson for school. He graduated from Rust university with honors and was accredited as the best mathematician in his class. He subsequently became professor of Fort Smith, Ark.-Members of the congregation of the Hemphill Presbyterian church have been balloting on whether they will accept the resignation of their pastor, the Rev. J. P. Hicks, just now a floorwalker in a hosiery department of a big department store. The preacher is hoping they accept his resignation, for a taste of floorwalking has spoiled him for the pulpit. Hicks' advanced ideas of theology invited criticism among his flock, and without apologizing he resigned. Many of his church members, however, sympathized with him, and the ballot was taken as the best means of determining his relative popularity. The preacher and W. G. Burton, department store head, are close friends. Burton not long ago commented on the lack of help during the Christmas rush of last year. "Hire me," Hicks said. "If they accept my resignation I'll need the money to meet old obligations." "You're on," the merchant said. And Hicks went to work FLIES OVER PANAMA CANAL Fowler Makes Trip From Pacific to Atlantic In Fifty-five Minutes. Panama.—Robert G. Fowler, the aviator, successfully flew from the Pacific over the canal in a hydroaeroplane with a passenger, landing at the Atlantic side in fifty-five minutes. A picture was taken of the operator and machine in motion. The flight has frequently been termed impossible on account of the air currents over Culebra. Fowler flew directly over the cut and was able to carry out various evolutions despite wind obstacles. Fowler succeeded in landing with ease on a reef. The portoon was torn, but otherwise the machine was undamaged. SHIFTING RIVER MAKES CLAIM. Sacramento's Freaks Give Man a Fine 160 Acre Homestead. MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., MAY 9 1913. POOR OVERTAXED MILLIONS A YEAR CARNEGIE AN "EXAMPLE." Author of Income Tax Measure Declares That Public Is Compelled to Pay $1,580,000,000 Annually Into Pockets of "Selected Individuals." Properties Assessed Too Low. Washington—"The richer a person grows the less he pays in relation to his property or income. Experience has shown that under the present tax system personal property practically escapes taxation for either local or state purposes." These statements were made in the house by Representative Hull of Tennessee in defending the income tax, which is carried in the Underwood tariff bill and is estimated to yield the government $70,000,000 a year in revenues. Andrew Carnegie is singled out as a shining example of the rich who escape taxation. He holds $400,000,000 of United States Steel corporation securities. Until recently he has paid state taxes on $5,000,000 of personal wealth. New York city authorities have increased this assessment recently to $10,000,000. "The rich investor," said Mr. Hull, "the money lender, the wealthy bust- by American Press Association. REPRESENTATIVE CORDELL HULL. ness and professional men, cover up most of their taxable property. The intangible personal stock, bonds and other securities escape taxation almost entirely." According to Mr. Hull, manufacturers have been in a tariff partnership with the government and have waxed fat. For more than half a century there has been a constant struggle by the wealthy to shift the burden of taxation to the shoulders and backs of those weaker, poorer and less influential citizens. Statistics of property valuations were given by Mr. Hull to show that wealth is not being taxed and is not bearing its fair burden. The census investigation, 1904, in New York reported that the city had about $5,500,000,00 of personality, and the returns for taxation were about $1,500,000,00. The Kentucky tax commission reported in January, 1912, that the total amount of bank deposits from which the assessors were to make up their taxation lists against the depositors and taxpayers was about $12,000,000. The bank statement to the comproller for the same month placed these deposits at $133,000,000. The mayor of Philadelphia recently told the councils there that property in that city had been undervalued more than $300,000,000. The census reports in 1904 valued all real property at $107,000,000,000. The ad valorem assessment was $300,000,000,000. The value of personality was placed at $44,000,000,000. It was assessed for taxation purposes at $0,000,000,000. Hull charged that under the former scheme of taxation the government, in forcing the people to turn over for government maintenance about $300,000,000 annually, gave a bonus of about $1,500,000,000 a year to selected individuals who were given special favors by the high protective tariff tax. Denial was made of the charge that the income tax was sectional in character. Hull argued that wealth had made itself sectional. Needs No One to Guide Her on Trip About City. Denver.—There is probably no person in Denver who is able to start at the Union depot, traverse every street between there and Broadway, with Fourteenth street as the western limit and Nineteenth street as the eastern, and stop without a mistake or a change of mind at every mail box in that area, but a horse, aged fifteen, eylept Bess, knows the hundreds of mail boxes and knows them so well that she can find them on the darkest of nights, with a blizzard, a rainstorm or a ninety mile wind occupying all available space. Bess is the property of Frank Monroe, a mail collector. She has grown aged in the service of Uncle Sam's mail department. In the twelve years of her service as assistant mail collector for the aforementioned route she has missed only seven days, none of these in the last year. It is the boast of her master that a substitute mail collector can be placed on the route for the first time and return with the mail without the aid of any guide other than the sagacious Bess. As her master climbs into the wagon after gathering the mail from one box Bess heads directly for the next one, be it around the corner, across the street or down the block, and she never misses a box. Moreover, until the mail is in the rear of the wagon and she hears her master's voice, she will not leave the spot. Bess, says her master, intends to remain a government employee for many years yet. Except for the fact that she spends most of the day sleeping in her stall until time to go on duty at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, she exhibits no signs of advanced age. REPAYS FRIEND HE ROBBED. But Not Until twenty-six Years Have Passed By. Louisville.—The stricken conscience of an aged man in Germany was responsible for the return of German bank notes amounting to nearly $1,000 American money to Nicholas Wermelster of this city, who was robbed of that amount at his old home in Metz, Germany, twenty-six years ago. The letter inclosing the notes was dated March 10, 1913, the anniversary of the theft, and was unsigned. Although the writer referred to himself as a "trusted friend who betrayed the confidence of your household," Mr Wermelster declared he was unable to identify him. Rooster Sits In For Hens Columbus, Ind. - Fred Ortel, caretaker at the City hospital, has a hen which seemed to want to sit, but she persisted in leaving her nest. Becoming disgusted with her unmotherly conduct, the rooster took the nest and proceeded to sit on it. Noting the rooster's steady habits, Ortel placed a setting of eggs under it a few days ago, and so far it has proved faithful to its trust, leaving the nest only for food and drink. Five-year-old Girl Prodigy. St. Louis—Wannetta Haverstick of 4259 Maryland avenue, just five years old, has developed in the last six months into a prodigy of learning, witt and wisdom under the teaching of her father, Dr. G. W. Haverstick, formerly a lecturer on children's diseases at the Physicians and Surgeon's hospital. She has mastered the first grade reader, knows more geography than the average twelve-year-old pupil, is well up in physiology, has taken a keen interest in politics and is so well versed in the Bible that she is excluded from the Sunday school class containing children of her age. Women Hold Five City Jobs. Kansas City. Ken. - With the appointment of a woman as city clerk in this city five important positions under the government of this municipality are now held by women.

SMOKE THE RELIABLE SIGHT DRAFT CIGAR How J. Logan Jenkins Rose to Prominence. STORY OF EARLY STRUGGLES Success of a North Carolina Boy Who by Strict Attention to Business Occupies Important Position With Big Steamship Company—A Churchman and Member of High Secret Orders. Baltimore.—The race has produced many young men who are making good in the various lines of industry in this country. But little is known of some who are filling positions of honor and trust. In this connection we mention J. Logan Jenkins, who is one of the stewards on the steamers plying between Baltimore and Norfolk of the Cheesapeake Steamship company. Mr. Jenkins started as an ordinary hand and worked up to the responsible position of steward. He was born in Sailsbury, N. C., and received his early school training in a private Presbyterian school at the home of his parents, which was connected with the church of which his parents were members. During vacation he spent his time working around home and at the home of the white people in the city of his birth, which had much to do with fitting him for his present position. Of course he had a fair literary training, for after finishing the graded school work he attended Biddle university. But at the close of his second year at Biddle he was compelled to discon tinue his studies there on account of having to assist his widowed mother in making a living. He entered the service of the Chessapeake Steamship company in 1806 J LOGAN JENKINS. He soon attracted the attention of the officials, who promoted him from time to time After serving several years as waiter he was made steward in 1906 and in this capacity made many friends. To show their appreciation of his worth to the company his picture was placed on the bill of fare and was carried for some time. This was an unusual thing and was commented on by many of the patrons of the company. He is steward in the full sense of that term, doing all the buying of supplies for the boat and for all the help in his department. He is a general all around business man. He is polite, courteous and takes special pride in looking after the comfort of all the passengers on his boat and sees to it that his people receive the attention to which they are entitled. During his stay with the company he has never had any serious trouble of any kind, but has scattered sunshine all about him and has made it pleasant for everybody. He is well informed and spends much of his time in reading. In the organizations and affairs for the advancement of the race this young man is well connected and is a hard worker. He is a Mason in good standing; also a member of the Knights of Pythias and a member of the Presbyterian church. He has saved his money and purchased some good property in this city. He married Miss Fannie Adams Berwell of West Point, Va., Oct. 10, 1890 Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins have two sons. There are several other men holding similar positions with this company who are making each day count and reflecting credit upon the race. BEND YOUR SUBSCRIPTION. No. 36 Omaha.—Relief to the value of $1,250,000 has been received for the benefit of the sufferers from Omaha's big Easter cyclone. This sum includes cost, supplies, labor, automobile and hospital service, tornado insurance and everything that was done for the victims to help them. The biggest single item on the list is the $500,000 in tornado insurance carried by the losers. Insurance companies have been very liberal in their adjustments of losses and many homes in Omaha are now being rebuilt which otherwise would have remained in ruins. The second largest item is that of cash contributed from all sources. This amounts to $470,000 and will undoubtedly reach the half million mark before the fund is closed. This $470,000 was raised almost entirely in Omaha itself. Many donations were sent in from Nebraska towns and the state of Nebraska contributed $40,000. New York city's donations amounted to $8,000. San Francisco, to which city Omaha was the first in the Union to send succor after the earthquake and fire, sent Omaha just $5. This was an individual subscription from the editor of a labor paper. On the afternoon following the earthquake Omaha started a special train of supplies and provisions and a large amount of cash to San Francisco. The great American Red Cross society has not aided Omaha to the extent of a single dollar, although Omaha hears frequently of subscriptions being handed to that institution for the benefit of the tornado sufferers. Omaha is not kicking against the Red Cross for nonassistance, but does object to the stories spread over the country telling of the quickness and speed with which the Red Cross leaped into Omaha and did wonderful deeds of relief. BEES KILL 200 PULLETS. Honey Gatherers Also Give Auto Party a Hot Time. Porterville, Cal.-Two hundred pullets belonging to W F. Weems, a poultry raiser in the Plano district, were stung to death when a swarm of bees attacked them. The bees, which belong to the Kern County Land company, are brought to this district every year during the orange blossom season. Besides the chickens which were killed, several score of others were so badly stung that they will also die. After the bees had attacked the chickens they continued down the road and attacked an automobile party. The bees were so thick that after the car had emerged from the swarm the tonneau was covered with them Ball of Live Snakes Peru, Ind - Joseph Spangler and Rob bert Stanley, Cheesapeake and Ohio rail road employees found a ball of snakes near a pond in West Peru and killed twelve of the reptiles. The men were led to the snakes by a small one that had crawled to the track, and when they struck at the snake it made a dash for the ball, which was at least a foot in diameter. Some of the snakes were five feet long TEETH IDENTIFY SKELETON. Dental Work Shows That Bones Belong to Lost Girl. Albuquerque, N. M. -The finding of a woman's skeleton in lonely Los Huertas canyon, thirty miles from this city, explains the disappearance on Nov. 14, 1911, of Margaret Greb, twenty-two, daughter of John Greb, a carpenter, who afterward went insane over the loss of his daughter, while a brother contracted tuberculosis from exposure in the search and died. The girl started out for a walk in the sand hills, lost her way when night fell, and, although the mountains and mesas were searched for a trace of her, none was found. The skeleton, which was found stripped clean of flesh and clothing, was identified by a gold filling in the teeth. Young Men's Christian Association.

Mr. Calloway was a resident student at the University of Minnesota before he began law practice in Kansas City, and is well known in the Twin Cities. Their remarks were very interesting and instructive, and they were given a "welcome to our city" by our leading citizens. Tis rumored that there is some friction among the women of the State Federation. Clifford A. Smith, the tailor, was a visitor in Minneapolis Sunday. Mr. Smith is thinking of organizing a base ball club composed of the Culture Club Boys. Mr. and Mrs. John Elliott of 1305 Washington Ave. So., have moved to 1921 5th Ave. So. RANDOM ENDORSEMENTS. Many of our leaders are accustomed to endorse almost everything proposed by a Negro, because the promoter is a Negro, fearing that they may be charged with lack of race interest, on their failure to do so. Every Negro hurts his race more by his consent to assist some promoter along this line, than by his failure to do so. Be sure a man is right and help him to go ahead, but do not place the weapon in the wrong fellow's hands. Mr. and Mrs. Isaac J.

WARM RECEPTION FOR AMBASSADOR Arrival of Great Britain's New Representative Here. IS A VETERAN DIPLOMAT. Sir Cecil Arthur Spring-Rice Was Best Man at Colonel Roosevelt's Wedding In 1886—Very Popular on Board Ship, Where He Made Many Friends Among Passengers and Crew. New York.—Sir Cecil Arthur Spring-Rice, the new ambassador from Great Britain to the United States, on his arrival here on the Carmania, accompanied by his secretary, D. G. Osborne, announced that his family would come over later, when he had prepared for them in Washington. The ambassador was met at the Cunard pier by George Wilson, vice president of the Pilgrims Society of Amer- A. B. © 1913, by American Press Association. SUR CIRCEL ARTHUR SPRING-RICE. © 1913, by American Press Association. SIR CECIL ARTHUR SPRING-RICE. ica; Courtney Walter Bennett, British consul general in New York, and his staff; L. David Campbell and Clark Kerr, attaches of the embassy, who came on from Washington. On the voyage Sir Cecil Spring-Rice sat at the captain's table and made himself popular with the Americans on board, which included 130 Clark tourists from the Egyptian cruise of the Laconia. In making the customary speech on behalf of the seamen's charities as chairman the ambassador said he occupied the same place as a bridegroom at a wedding—inconspicuous, but necessary. When asked if he had anything to communicate regarding European events Sir Cecil said, with a smile, that diplomats abroad in the service of their respective governments were not permitted to express their opinions. "I know very little of American affairs," said he, "as I have been out of touch for so long. It will probably be some time before I am familiar with all the details of my new post." The new ambassador to the United States is of medium height and medium build, with a good head and forehead, deep set blue eyes and a grizzled, gray Vandyke beard, giving a business air to a keen intellectual face. He is not of the physical type of the big, imposing, ruddy faced diplomat, picturing magnificent audacity, but his looks betoken rather methods of great affability, powers of analysis and the ability to use the lancet instead of the big stick. Sir Cecil is most approachable and democratic. He was a popular passenger and a good mixer on the Carmanla. His manner is so easy and he is so responsive that his questioners forgive him when he talks and yet says nothing. The ambassador is Irish by descent. He is the grandson of Lord Monteagle of the second creation. His father was the Hon. Charles Spring-Rice, and in 1904 Sir Cecil married Florence, the daughter of Sir Frank Lascelles, who was his chief in the embassy at Berlin, when in February, 1905, Sir Frank sent him hurriedly to London to confer with Lord Lansdowne and King Edward. After the conference he made a hurried trip to this country, called with Sir Mortimer Durand, the British ambassador at Washington, upon President Roosevelt at midnight of a Sunday and set on foot the process of mediating between Russia and Japan. In eight days Sir Cecil was back in London. Ambassador Spring-Rice was born in 1859 and educated at Eton and Balliol, Oxford. He was clerk in the war office and the foreign office, assistant secretary to Earl Granville preds writer to Earl Rosebery, secretary of legation at Brussels, Washington. Tokyo. Berlin and Constantinople, charge d'affaires at Teheran, minister to Persia and on Sept. 1. 1908, he assumed the duties of British minister at Stockholm. In addition to English the new ambassador speaks French. German and Italian fluently and has a good knowledge of Russian and Swedish. When Theodore Rosecelt was married to Miss Edith Kernit Carow in London on Dec. 2, 1886 the new ambassador was best man. TWIN CITY STAR BUSINESS WELL MANAGED. Thrifty Concern in Nashville Has Confidence of the Public. Nashville, Tenn. -Another striking evidence of the possibilities of the race to succeed in matters of business requiring more than ordinary knowledge executive ability and self reliance is furnished in the statement made public following the recent business meeting of the Star Realty company in this city. The concern was organized less than a year ago in a small way, but its achievements have been great. In this connection it is well for our people to pay strict attention to all movements which have for their aim the bettering of conditions for employment and for better wages. At the meeting referred to steps were taken A. B. PROFESSOR W. D. HAWKINS. to enlarge the scope of the organization, which means that there will be room for more workers to carry on the business. Nashville has long been noted for the large number of thrifty men and women of the race who have made good in business and in the various professions. It is also famous as an educational and religious center, being the seat of Fisk university, Mehairy Medical college and the National Baptist convention, with its allied branches. The man who has engineered to such a splendid success the concern above mentioned more than any other official and whose skill in business and financial matters is above the average is Professor W. D. Hawkins. He is assistant cashier of the People's Savings Bank and Trust company. Professor Hawkins is a graduate of Walden university, is also a law graduate and was for many years a member of the Walden faculty. He is an expert accountant and possesses exceptional business acumen. NATIONAL LEAGUE FILES PAPERS OF INCORPORATION Professor Seligman Heads List of Officers of the New Body. New York.—The National League on Urban Conditions Among Colored People has recently received from the state of New York papers of incorporation, with the following persons named as directors: Professor E. R. A. Seligman, Mrs. William H. Baldwin, Jr., Dr. William L. Bulkley, Mr. L. Hollingsworth Wood, Mr. A. S. Frissell, Mr. Victor H. McCutcheon, Dr. Felix Adler, Mr. Roger N. Baldwin, Rev. Samuel H. Bishop, Miss S. P. Breckenridge, Dr. William H. Brooks, Mr. Paul D. Cravath, Dr. P. A. Johnson, Mrs. E. B. Leaf, Mr. Abraham Lefkowitz, Mr. Fred R. Moore, Dr. Edward Ewing Pratt, Dr. E. P. Roberts, Mr. Paul J. Sachs, Mr. George W. Seligman, Miss Elizabeth Walton and Mr. William G.

Baldwin Jr., and Dr. William L. Bukley; secretary, Mr. L. Hollingsworth Wood; treasurer, Mr. A. S. Frissell; assistant treasurer, Mr. Victor R. McCutcheon. The league, whose work is familiar to our people in most all sections of the country, has moved its headquarters from 281 Fourth avenue to the World's Tower building, 110-112 West Fortieth street. It is doing an important work for the betterment of the race here and in other large cities of the north, where opportunities and conditions are so unfavorable for good homes, wages and fair treatment. Henry O. Tanner's Pictures Exhibited. Henry O. Tanner, the celebrated artist, who has won two gold medals at the Paris salon and who is represented by two pictures in the Luxembourg, Paris, had nineteen works in the exhibition at the Knodeler galleries. In Fifth avenue, New York, during April. All his pictures are in green, which is enlivened by yellow, red and blue plum. The effect is unusual, but pleasing. Of the Moroccan pictures "Entry to Citadel" and "Moonlight—Palace of the Governor" are especially good. "Christ at the Home of Lazarus" is a modern treatment of a religious theme. "Etapies—Fisher Fork" is a shadowy work and effective. STEFANSSON NOW READY FOR START WILL BREAIN FOUR YEARS. Party Will Study Blond Eskimos and Gather Scientific and Geographical Data About Arctic Sea and Vast Unexplored Regions Between Bering Strait and the North Pole. New York.—Vilhjalmur Stefansson, who discovered the blond Eskimos, in announcing his plans for his coming four year expedition in the north, said that it would be the party's object to gather geographical and scientific data about the vast unexplored territory between Bering strait and the north pole and between the western border of the arctic archipelago and the known open sea north of Silberia. "We shall start from the navy yard at Esqualtmalt, Victoria, for Bering strait, in the first week of June, in the steam whaler Karluk, of 247 tons, proceeding east along the north coast of Alaska," he said. "The expedition, planned as a private American expedition, has been taken over by the Canadian government, which has enabled us to double its size. "I have engaged as oceanographers James Murray of Glasgow, who was [Image of a man in a suit with a tie]. by American Press Association. DR. VILHJALMUR STEFANSSON. the biologist with Shackleton in the British antarctic expedition, and Dr. A. Forbes Mackay of Edinburgh, who was Shackleton's surgeon. Two anthropologists engaged are Henri Beuchat, a Frenchman, a specialist in American archaeology and anthropology, and Dr. Edward Janess, who is now on his way from New Zealand. Dr. Fritz Johansen, a Dane, will go as zoologist. The second in command will be Dr. R. M. Anderson of the American Museum of Natural History. The skimmer of the Karluk will be Captain C. T. Pedersen, a whaler of twenty years' experience, who will pick a crew of fourteen or fifteen hands. "My experience shows that explorers had best live off the country. As far north as land has been discovered there is plenty of bear, caribou, musk ox, seal and wairau. The provisions taken will be grains, like rice and oats, and only dried fruit. "One of the big things will be the study of the blond Eskimos, and we are going to ascertain the depth of the arctic sea, character of its bottom, direction and speed of its currents, temperature of the water, its salinity and its vegetable and animal life." Mr. Stefansson expects to be gone four years, but may in summer send the ship back to Esquimalt. Whether the territory to be explored is all ice, open sea, a continent or a series of islands is one of the few remaining mysteries of the world today, according to the explorer. The thirteen tion schooner Teddy Bear may be used as an auxiliary for establishing a base on Victoria Island in the arctic, for discovering metals and studying tribes. If the Klaruk should come across land the party may establish a base upon it. Mr. Stefansson, the child of Icelandic parents, was born at Windhill in 1878, was graduated from the University of Iowa with Dr Anderson in 1893 and afterward became a professor of anthropology at Harvard. In 1908 he went with Dr Anderson to the arctic, spent four years there and discovered the blond Eskimos, who, he says, cannot be descendants of whalers or survivors of the Franklin expedition. History on a Vase. Berkeley. Cal.-Lost for a half century, a Greek vase dating back to the sixth century before Christ has been discovered in the anthropological museum of the University of California, and through the discovery Professor Oliver M Washburn of the department of classical archaeology is enabled to amplify records of history and mythology. From this black figured Attic vase, which was given to the university by Mrs Phoebe A. Hearst, the story of the killing of the son of Priam has been deciphered.

Dated at Minneapolis, this 8th day of May, 1913. By the Court: JOHN A. DAHL, Judge of the Probate Court. GEO. H. JACKSON, Atty. WRONG TO WATCH BASEBALL Harvard Expert Says Spectators Get Too Wrought Up. Cambridge, Mass. - Beware, O ye baseball fans, for you are the product of a radically wrong attitude toward athletics. Witnessing professional baseball contests tends to harmful excesses and immorality. Thus spoke Harvard's world famous strength expert, Dr. Dudley A. Sargent, recently. He said in part: "The excitement attending ball games as they are played at present is harmful. Our baseball fans nowadays are devotees of a game in exactly the same sense as are those fascinated by watching a roulette game or other games of chance. "Attendance at these games means that thousands of men and boys and even women become unduly excited over the athletic prowess of professional players. They leave the ball grounds with nerves tingling and spirits exalted if the game goes well, and the question is. What outlet do those men and women find for their emotions thus aroused? I am tempted to leave the subject with an interrogation point. "There is nothing wrong with a ball game as such any more than there is with a theatrical performance as such, but such games arouse emotion without furnishing a motor outlet. This would not be the case if the game were actually played instead of watched. We are overdoing one phase of the so called love of sport. "There is nothing in this hothouse form of athleticism, and the less we have of it the better." BISHOP PREPARES TO DIE. Chooses Grave, Orders Cross and Calms Monument Maker. Trenton, N. J.—Bishop McFaul of the Catholic diocese of Trenton, in good health, is preparing for death. He has just chosen his last resting place and ordered his monument, going about the business as though it were an every day incident. For his grave Bishop McFaul has chosen a plot of ground in front of Morris hall, a home for aged women at Lawrenceville, erected by the bishop several years ago. Dennis Dooley, a marble cutter, was somewhat shocked when Bishop McFaul ordered him to make a Celtic cross to be placed over his grave until the bishop assured him that he had no intention of dying soon.

SOMEBODY'S SISTER. By Byron H. Stauffer. In our old school reader was ‘ poem entitled “Somebody's Mother.’ It told of an old woman helped across the busy, slippry street by a brigh' laddie who returned to the merry group of his fellows to say: “She's somebody's mother, boys, you know, For all she is aged and poor and slow.” i I wish a rhyme could be given us on “Somebody's Sister,” to stir the noblest imaginations our our youths, and elevate thelr demeanor toward every young woman they meet. Somebody's sister waits on you in the restaurant, my boy, She comes from a home with parents and broth: ere and sisters clustred in its memo ries. Hers may be a humbler circle than your sister knows, but to her brother she is just as precious as the maiden who will greet you at dinner tonight Is to you. So be gallant to the waiter girl, Somebody's sister is the chamber- maid at the hotel that sheltered you last night. She has the meanest task in the house, and usually does it well. Too often she is forgotten, ex- cept when ride gibes or suggestive Jokes are passed. Women travelers can acquire no more Christianlike habit than that of encouraging the girl who makes the beds, Somebody's sister clicks the type writer in your office, young man. ‘The angel of your home does not need to call forth the heroism that the stenographer exercises every morning as she prepares for her daily bread-winning feat. I knew a young woman whose father’s sudden death compelled her to leave her piano and painting lessons in order to qualify as ‘ stenographer. Her swift fingers ‘soon supported her frail mother and two little sisters, By and by, the young fellow in the next office cultivated her acquaint ‘nce. One day, when he thought matters were ripe, he motored her ou! to see @ lot his rich father had giver him, After some effort, he succeeded in explaining that, if she'd have him he would put up a nice bungalow ix the autuma, She took the propositior home with her, balanced it with her duty to her three charges, and then, after @ half day's crying, declined it and cheerfully went back to her work. You can afford to up your bat to the stenographer, my son. Treat her with respect, and keep 2 clenched fist ready for any scoundrel who doesn't. Somebody's sister is behind the counter where you buy your box of candy. There are but one or two lives, or perhaps merely one or two reverses, between your sister and such @ position. A funeral or a fall- ure might put her there any day. And the candy counter girl is likely Just as sensitive and of as fine a fiber as your sister is. Bestow the some courtesy upon her which you would want to be shown the girl you guard so jealously. Such bordering Jests as you might thoughtlessly give her would soon wear the enamel off her purity. Somebody's sister is walking by the street corner where you and your chums are congregating tonight. You are feeling merry, with a bit of loose change in your pocket and the day's work over. A group of young fellows will recklessly make remarks about @ passing woman in the evening, which one young man, alone wouldn't think of expressing next morning. Set the bound of decency against your buoyancy, The next young wou an to happen along may be your sis- ter or your sweetheart. If your chum, not knowing, should offer her an insult, there would be trouble, wouldn’t there? in the fierce struggle impending be- tween the ever-increasing multitudes of mankind, survival is only assured to him who can hold bis own in men- tal, moral and mechanical conquest. ‘The advance of universal education is irrisistable; and under the reign of universal education, vocational fitness is indispensible. Uniess our brightest and best prepared young men and women turn their talents to the ap plide sclences we shall find the race at no distant day the fag end of every class of society. Now if it is true that social efficiency has come to be re garded as the highest aim of educa. tion then there can be no difference of opinion as to the fast that “expres. sion 1s as important to proper educa- tion as impression.” ‘This is a maxim that no modern educator will dispute and social efficiency requires one to be able to act as well as to think; te execute as well as to plan; to do as well as to dream; to demonstrate as well as to theorize; to actualize as well as to contrive. In both phases ot this double development brains con- stitute an essential factor.—Prof. W. ‘A. Joiner, in the Sodalian. HOW ONE COLLEGE HAS HELPED NEGROES. In @ certain county in Mississippi, says a writer bm the Southern Work- man, a college for white boys has in- spired and positively helped the Ne- groes of the county. “A spirit of sympathy and good will has shown ftelf in conduct. The college em- plays a number of Negroes to work on the college farm, Working as they must under the direction of a trained agriculturist, these men learn, through doing, many vital principles of effective farming. They eventual- ly start up farms of thelr own and thus carry with them the experience gained under trained oversight. Their success in the community where they live becomes an object lesson to the neighbors around. Again, the college experiments in taxing the productive capacity under certain conditions of an acre of cot- ton or corn in full view of the peds- trians to and from town. This ex- periment is watched with the keenest interest by those who are aware of what is being done, and this has proven to be a very effective kind of object lesson, The college further sends out men to hold farmers’ in- stitutes for Negroes in various parts of the county, Such questions as deep plowing, crop rotation, green manuring, diversity of crops, stock- raising with reference to the breed- ing and care of stock, have been presented at different times. These institutes furnish experiences to the illiterate Negroes for the intelligent observation of work done on the col- lege farm.” RUNNING A NEWSPAPER. Running a newspaper is a thing that every person knows how to dc except the editor or manager. No- body should ever get a roasting in its columns except the. editor and his friends. On the other hand, their friends should be sweet scented Praised and banqueted. If you dc something bad you want the editor tc keep your name out of the paper; but, on the other hand, should you buy a new dress or hat or feed two or three of the bon tons of the tows ‘at your table or sing a solo you want & big puff and a boost, and tf you don’t get It you are going to stop the paper. A newspaper is something no. one forgets to condemn for tt mistakes, but never remember t praise it for the good it accomplishes —The Advocate, Portland, Oregon. TWIN CITY STAR A REAL NEWSPAPER. A newspaper isn’t simply a bare chronicler of events. it is a personal Ity. It comes into your house almost as a member of your family. What sort of a person d> you Uke to have visit you? He ought to be honest, courageous no hypocrite, and a gentleman, with & real" interest in you, ready to len¢ @ hand if you need help. Cheerful ness and good humor are excellent qualities, and a wide rane of in terests. What do you find in The Star? It has opinions, of course, and 1 speaks them out freely. They are it own and they are not influenced by outalde interests. The square deal is its platform, In handling news it observes the ‘decencies and amenities of life. i never wantonly brings shame or sor ‘row to any home. Its advertisements are clean. - if the Twia City Star does net bring you something of interest im aay: particular issue, it bas failed by 80 much that week. Jt takes of ite bat aud apologizes ior baving bored you as a visitor, ‘ut it trusts this doeso't often Bap- pen. NOt often, does it? Your subscription to @ Negro news- paper is @ business proposition. Do not accept it from the postman, unless you intend to pay for it. Do not won- der, why it is sent you. If you re fuse it the publisher gets notice from the Postmaster to discontinue, which 1s @ matter of record, and the publisher pays the return postage. Many say that they “Never sub- scribed” “ordered it stopped,” or “wondered who sent it.” We send THE TWIN CITY STAR to those whom we think bona fide subscribers, and do not wish to increase circuls- on by carrying any dead-heads, We value our publication, and have not dictated {te columns to dishonest subsc.ibers and parasites, who Will- ingly Lie to evade the payment of a ‘Negro newspaper bill. We have lived, supported by the fair minded in dividuals of this community, who realize that it takes money to run a newspaper. ‘The Twin City Star nas the ex clusive use in this city of the AurU- American news service of the Amer- ican Press Avsn., euited by Mr. N.

The Negro, who is ashamed to labor with pick and shovel is generally indentified with the loafing and criminal class—the destructive ele ment of the race. | THE TRUTH WELL TOLD. Don't be afraid to speak ill of the dead. No man that has lived should be saved from deserved criticism by the commonplace fact of ceasing to be alive. “I should wish,” said the Cardinal de Bernis, “that every re gard of politeness be preserved for the living, but that it might be per- mitted to speak freely one's mind of the dead.” Filled as our lives are with dally shams, there is no more absurd and abominable sham about us than the mask of sorrow that we wear to the funeral of a rogue. As a matter of fact, the dead, being safe from phys- ‘cal punishment, should be the more open to such reprobation as their acts may have courted. In 9 true sense, “the evil that men do lives after them.” To condone the faults of the dead is to corrupt the morality of the living—Reginald W. Kauffman, in The Cosmopolitan. Let us have more harmony among our social workers and in our or- ganizations in general. It is disre- spect and gross insubordination tc ignore our officers and fellow-work ers. We should not feel that others have no rights that we respect. Har mony is essential to unity. Let us try to do something to please others and to disagree from principle and not personal motives. In the words of the immortal Lincoln, “Though much provoked, Jet us do nothing in malice or ill temper.” An advertising agency has quoted the circulation’ of this publication as 16,400 copies, also the negro popula tion of St. Paul and Minneapolis at 29,613. This 1s erroneous. We pub lish 1000 copies weekly and the Negrc population of Minnesota is estimated at 12,000, Equal and exact justice to all citiz ens of whatever aationality, race, color, or persuasion.
