Bishop Johnson's Plan of Enlargement-Virginia Maryland and the District of Columbia Become Members. By N. BARNETT DODSON. Washington. — With an address by former United States Senator Henry W. Blair, a visit to President Wilson at the White House and a reception to the delegates by the Cosmopolitan Baptist church, the New England Baptist missionary convention closed its thirty-ninth annual meeting here on Monday evening, June 16. The convention was in session for five days at the Cosmopolitan Baptist church, pastored by the Rev. Dr. Simon P. W. Drew. Addresses of welcome following the formal opening of the convention were delivered by the Rev. Dr. I. N. Ross, representing the Evangelical Ministers' alliance; Rev. Dr. Alexander Wilbanks, for the Mount Bethel Baptist association; Miss Nannie Helen Burroughs, president of the National Training School For Women and Girls, and a speech by United States Senator Moses E. Clapp of Minnesota. The response was made by Rev. Dr. John C. Love of Montclair, N. J. At the session of the convention held in Orange, N. J., in June, 1912, the convention adopted the plans for enlarging its territory, which were presented by Dr. W. Bishop Johnson. The reports from the various churches and the new organisations which united with the convention at this session showed the wisdom of such a movement. Under the new plans the work for education, home and foreign missions takes on new life. Among the larger organizations cooperating with the New England convention on the enlargement plan are the Mount Bethel Baptist association, which is composed of churches and their auxiliaries in the District of Columbia and Maryland, extending into Virginia; the Virginia Baptist state convention and the woman's convention of Maryland, co-operating through the woman's convention of the New England Baptist convention. The new movement recently started for the purpose of establishing a denominational college in the north to meet the growing demands of the convention and its auxiliaries for better and more convenient educational facilities for higher learning within the bounds of the convention was indorsed. Methods for raising funds for the erection of buildings and for the general support of such a school have been devised, and the convention has pledged the sum of $10,000 toward the movement. Notable among the features of the program were the special sermons and address. The annual sermon by the Rev. Dr. W. P. Hayes, pastor of the Mount Olivet Baptist church, New York; the educational sermon by Dr. T. J. Henderson of New Jersey; the doctrinal sermon by the Rev. E. W. Johnson, D. D., of Philadelphia; the missionary sermon by the Rev. D. J. Deskins; educational greetings by President R. C. Woods of the Virginia seminary and college, Lynchburg, Va. Dr. W. A.

TUSKEGEE BAND ON LONG TOUR SONGS APTLY ILLUSTRATED. Third Summer Pilgrimage of Famous Institution's Musical Organization Includes Concert Engagements in Seventy-four Cities and Towns in Fourteen States—Aim of Director Smith. Guthrie, Okla. — The appearance in this city on Wednesday evening, June 25, of the Tuskegee (Ala.) institute band was the occasion of much enthusiasm among the music loving public. The schedule of this band, under the management of the well known J. D. Stevenson, covers seventy-four cities and towns in fourteen states. The stop here was the twenty-first in the present series. Under the direction of Captain N. Clark Smith, formerly bandmaster of the Eighth regimental Illinois state militia, the student band plays largely melodies and folk songs of the colored people interpreted and arranged for band music. In handling this music Captain Smith has something more in view than the mere applause of the populace. He wishes rather in the main to teach the beauty and dignity of Negro music. Lest through the symphonies and variations of the band the audience should miss the real interpretation of the melodies Captain Smith has thrown on the canvas the story of "Steal Away," that the audience may glance up at the picture or series of pictures and read there the story of the struggles of the old folks of fifty years ago seeking to steal away to the valley to pray. Thus glancing at the picture the audience can then interpret the band music. But this is for the older people. Captain Smith has still another story he wishes to tell. It is for the modern Negro to measure up to this present day civilization. Here are a farmer and his wife, dull, slow, quiet, labor. CAPTAIN N. CLARK SMITH. ing side by side in the fields. They toll on there, make money, build a decent cottage and rear a family. The children finish in the graded school. The mother urges the "old man" to send them away to the north. In the north the dazzle and dash of the life at its height are too much for them. They are delighted, yea, intoxicated. They never return to the quiet little cottage on the farm; hence the story of three generations is woven into this music and interpreted to the audience by a band, an orchestra and a glee club. Not altogether unfit is the student band for the mission which the former Illinois bandmaster sets for himself. Many of these students are raw recruits fresh from the farms, villages and homes where life is daily enacted as Captain Smith seeks to stage it. Though the task of drilling them into musicians is a hard one they nevertheless bring to their instruments an understanding of and sympathy with the life of their music. They are not musicians by trade and never will be; they are fifty of the 1,500 students who come yearly to the school for trades of one kind or another and who pick up music incidentally. The present tour is the third one of the kind the band has taken and by far the most ambitious. Those previous were satisfied with twenty, thirty or forty stops. In each case the manager, J. D. Stevenson, has had repeated demands to extend his time and journey. On this trip he is endeavoring to meet all the demands of cities along the route. STUDENTS LEARN BY DOING. Each Must Show Fitness Before De- ciding Upon Profession Hampton institute is founded on the knowledge that the common task and daily round are a means of grace and a source of culture and intellectual development. Is a building needed? Masons and bricklayers must mix sand and cement; carpenters must make doors and window frames; painters, smithsms, plumbers, steamfitters, all must take their turns before the building is completed. The lessons of the students stand in cement, brick and plaster, in woodwork, tin and iron. The theories learned in classroom these tradsemen apply at the building, and the facts gained at the building they carry to the classroom. The facts are considered as valuable as theories. Things are ranked with books. Each student has his work in the life of this great family, and every student must carry a vocation away with him. This is the system of Hampton. The boy or young man who comes to the school with scanty knowledge of the three R's and geography, with scantier funds, if possessed of credentials and character, is given a chance. He must win his spurs before he can choose his life's work or begin training as farmer, teacher or tradesman. Few boys enter with sufficient knowledge or funds to begin their work for a life vocation. Yet no boy is turned away from Hampton because of his poverty. A year on the large farm, a year in the office or on the grounds of Hampton for the boys or a year in laundry and kitchens for the girls, with careful coaching at night in reading, composition, arithmetic and geography, gains the funds and academic standards necessary to begin their special training as tradesmen, teachers or farmers. The bugles blow at 5:30 in the morning. In the day that follows eleven hours of work and study are crowded into the lives of blacksmiths and carpenters, five days of the week. The day which is hailed as holiday or half holiday in other schools, at Hampton is called "workday." Upon this day all boys and girls are given work outside their shops or fixed positions in kitchen or laundry to help them further in earning their way through the school. At Hampton it is a punishment to deprive one of work, for there all useful work is a means of support and advance. WOMEN'S FEDERATION OF CLUBS TO MEET IN BUFFALO Annual Convention of Empire State Body to Be Held July 4. Buffalo. Throughout the state of New York in cities or towns where there is a woman's club the members are on the alert daily with preparations for the forthcoming annual meeting of the Empire State Federation of Women's Clubs. The meeting will last two days and will be preceded by a meeting of the executive committee on Friday, July 4. Mrs. C. A. Bell, chairman of the committee, is urging every member to be present. The departments of the federation's work are social settlement, art and embroidery, arts and craft, mothers' meetings, literary, department for the suppression of lynching, juvenile and community uplift work. Large delegations are expected from New York city, Brooklyn, Binghamton, Albany, Rochester and Syracuse. The federation is a member of the Northeastern Federation of Women's Clubs and will send representatives to the annual convention of the latter, which meets in Cambridge, Mass., in August. The Empire State federation has had a wonderful growth since its organization about five years ago. It has a competent corps of officers and heads of the various departments. The president is Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, a woman of wide experience in educational work and conditions as they exist among our people. Mrs. Talbert was born in Oberlin, O., of North Carolina parents. She is a descendant on her maternal side of Richard Nichols, who compelled Peter Stuyvesant to surrender New Amsterdam and who was for a time governor of New York state. Mrs. Talbert graduated at the age of sixteen from the Oberlin high school and with the assistance of former President James H. Fairchild was able to enter Oberlin college. While a student at Oberlin she was treasurer of Aeolian, one of the two college societies. In 1886 she became a teacher in Bethel university, Little Rock, Ark., and in 1887 she was elected assistant principal of the high school in Little Rock. Mrs. Talbert is the only colored woman who has ever held the position of assistant principal in this school. Since her marriage to William H. Talbert she has resided in this city. SMOKE THE RELIABLE SIGHT DRAFT CIGAR U. S. TO ORGANIZE AGRICULTURISTS Department of Agriculture Begins Movement Financed by Education Board, Rookfeller Philanthropy—It Is Expected That Campaign as Planned Will Reduce Cost of Living. The broadest investigation yet undertaken by Uncle Sam's department of agriculture, designed ultimately to solve some of the great problems of farm life, is being planned for the rural organization service, which has just been established by Secretary Houston. The secretary and Dr. T. N. Carver of Harvard, who is at the head of the new work, are confident of splendid results. The rural organization service will work in closest co-operation with the newly created division of markets, which will devote its energies primarily to problems connected with the marketing of farm products at a profit. In many instances it is not the lack of a market that prevents the farmer from turning over a profit, but inability to utilize the means for reaching the market. Secretary Houston, Dr. Carver and students of farm economics in general long have felt that the weakness of agriculture was disorganization. This disorganization is the natural and often necessary result of the vast number of farm units, each one a separate business enterprise. Also it is the result of the isolation of farm life and the fact that the farmer has learned to co-operate with nature better than with men. Intelligent Organization. "The first great problem," said Dr. Carver. "is intelligent organization. There are enormous difficulties in the way of effective organization. Mere organization for organization's sake amounts to nothing. On the other hand, intelligent organization has done wonders in many industries. The citrus fruit industry of the Pacific coast furnishes a wonderful example. Unorganized, the orange growers of California could not market their crops at a profit. With their present effective organization the difficulties in the way of reaching the right markets are reduced to a minimum. "Take another illustration. The beet sugar manufacturers are organized. As a result they pay the farmers who raise sugar beets only enough to keep them at the work. If the farmers were organized and the sugar manufacturers unorganized the farmers would make the manufacturers pay at least a fair profit. Unorganized, they can only accept what the manufacturer is willing to pay." Plenty of Funds. The rural organization service will be financed by the general education board, one of the philanthropies of John D. Rockefeller. While backed by practically unlimited funds, however, the work will not be done on an extravagant scale. The general education board so far has appropriated only enough money to make a beginning and to effect an organization of thoroughly competent men. The southern education board, a branch of the general board, for several years past has been co-operating with the department in its farmers' co-operative demonstration work in the southern states. This work has met with phenomenal success and has solved many farm problems for the south. Effective organization in marketing crops will ultimately bring the farmer a much larger return for his work and also reduce the cost of living to the consumer by removing the middleman wherever practicable. BALDHEAD CLUB TO MEET. Hairless Pated Band, Toastmaster and Host For Banquet. Robert J. Orr, president of the Baldhead Club of America, who was fifty-five years old recently, called a meeting of the officers of the club at his home in Pittsfield, Mass., to celebrate. Incidentally there was a business meeting of the club at which Oct. 16 was set as the date of the second annual banquet of the club, which will be held at Canaan, Conn., in a hotel managed by a baldheaded proprietor. John Rodemeyer, a baldheaded editor, will be toastmaster, and the six Karl brothers of Litchfield, Conn., all baldheaded, will furnish the music. The club has a membership of ninety-six. No.43 The Summer Girl Why flout the summer girl, my son? Why criticise her attitude? Why ban her from the whirl, my son, With carpeting word and plaititude? What if she flicke proves, my son? Are not all breezes by the sea? It merely you behooves, my son. To know just when she teases thee. The summer girl in love, my son, 'S a lesson in futility. She's like the clouds above, my son, Least trusted in tranquility. Her face is fair and fresh, my son, Her heart like alary thistledown. Her arms are falls that thrash, my son, Her hair a fairy missal crown. Her life's a butterfly, my son. She suns herself, and in review You see her flutter by, my son, To flowers that are fresh and new. But wish not otherwise, my son. 'Tis fleeting things that please us most Compete with other guys, my son. And, if you win, neglect to boast. -Arthur James in Morning Telegraph. ROBERT J. COLLIER PLANS TO FLY ACROSS ATLANTIC Publisher Building a Hydroaeroplane, Marblehead Hears. Robert J. Collier, the New York publisher, it is said, will attempt to cross the Atlantic ocean in the fall in a flying boat equipped with a 200 horsepower engine of French design and capable of 100 miles an hour or more. The hydroaeroplane is being constructed at the Burgess-Curtiss aero plant, Marblehead, Mass., with much secrecy. It will be larger and nearly twice as swift as the craft constructed for the navy department recently, which has made forty successful flights. It will cost between $15,000 and $20,000. Mr. Collier, it is said, told the designers that he wanted the craft merely for sport, but his intimate friends say that he is bent upon attempting the transatlantic flight. He has been to Marblehead several times in the past few weeks and will try out the flying boat over the harbor in about two weeks. The machine will be entirely finished by the middle of July. The flying boat, it is said, will be the largest and fastest hydroaeroplane in the world. A special twenty cylinder Anzani engine, with 200 horsepower, has been imported at a cost of $10,000. It is made almost entirely of aluminium, weighing about 700 pounds. The gross weight of the machine, including the weight of the aviator and a passenger, will be 2,200 pounds. The planes are forty-five feet in length from tip to tip and are made of special varnished linen. They are seven feet apart and supported by a single line of uprights of steel, with steel wire bracings, resembling cables on suspension bridges. The propellers have eight foot blades, made of solid mahogany, set at right angles, making four blades. The engine is situated between the planes, behind and almost two feet above the head of the operator. It can easily be "turned over" by a wheel arrangement without necessitating the operator leaving his seat. Besides carrying a tank with a capacity of fifty gallons, there is room in the craft for another tank of the same size. This would give Mr. Collier sufficient gasoline to carry him across the ocean. The air craft will sit lightly on the water and in this position can make from sixty to seventy-five miles an hour. It is uninskable, and this, with its speed, removes most of the danger of descending to the water in flight. All parts of the flying boat have been finished, and it will take about two weeks longer to assemble them. The craft resembles the naval flying boat, but is several feet longer, and its engine will have three times the horsepower. CHURCH GARAGE FOR BABIES. Care of Perambulators Expected to Increase Congregation. A garage for baby carriages is to be a feature of the Henry Disslon Memorial Methodist church, in course of construction in Tacony, a suburb of Philadelphia. The Rev. Cornelius Hudson, the pastor, in speaking about the innovation, said: "We have lots of babies in the congregation, and we thought that if we built a place where the mothers and the fathers could keep the carriages during the service more of them would attend the services regularly. "It has been no uncommon sight to see sixteen or seventeen baby carriages lined up in front of the church on a Sunday afternoon. We have taken a census and believe that at least 100 families with their babies will come here if we give them a suitable place where their perambulators can be taken care of."

Upon this day all boys and girls are given work outside their shops or fixed positions in kitchen or laundry to help them further in earning their way through the school. At Hampton it is a punishment to deprive one of work, for there all useful work is a means of support and advance. WOMEN'S FEDERATION OF CLUBS TO MEET IN BUFFALO Annual Convention of Empire State Body to Be Held July 4. Buffalo. Throughout the state of New York in cities or towns where there is a woman's club the members are on the alert daily with preparations for the forthcoming annual meeting of the Empire State Federation of Women's Clubs. The meeting will last two days and will be preceded by a meeting of the executive committee on Friday, July 4. Mrs. C. A. Bell, chairman of the committee, is urging every member to be present. The departments of the federation's work are social settlement, art and embroidery, arts and craft, mothers' meetings, literary, department for the suppression of lynching, juvenile and community uplift work. Large delegations are expected from New York city, Brooklyn, Binghamton, Albany, Rochester and Syracuse. The federation is a member of the Northeastern Federation of Women's Clubs and will send representatives to the annual convention of the latter, which meets in Cambridge, Mass., in August. The Empire State federation has had a wonderful growth since its organization about five years ago. It has a competent corps of officers and heads of the various departments. The president is Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, a woman of wide experience in educational work and conditions as they exist among our people. Mrs. Talbert was born in Oberlin, O., of North Carolina parents. She is a descendant on her maternal side of Richard Nichols, who compelled Peter Stuyvesant to surrender New Amsterdam and who was for a time governor of New York state. Mrs. Talbert graduated at the age of sixteen from the Oberlin high school and with the assistance of former President James H. Fairchild was able to enter Oberlin college. While a student at Oberlin she was treasurer of Aeolian, one of the two college societies. In 1886 she became a teacher in Bethel university, Little Rock, Ark., and in 1887 she was elected assistant principal of the high school in Little Rock. Mrs. Talbert is the only colored woman who has ever held the position of assistant principal in this school. Since her marriage to William H. Talbert she has resided in this city. SMOKE THE RELIABLE SIGHT DRAFT CIGAR U. S. TO ORGANIZE AGRICULTURISTS Government to Study Credit Needs of Farmers. TO TEACH CO-OPERATION. Department of Agriculture Begins Movement Financed by Education Board, Rockefeller Philanthropy—It Is Expected That Campaign as Planned Will Reduce Cost of Living. Tib broadest investigation yet undertaken by Uncle Sam's department of agriculture, designed ultimately to solve some of the great problems of farm life, is being planned for the rural organization service, which has just been established by Secretary Houston. The secretary and Dr. T. N. Carver of Harvard, who is at the head of the new work, are confident of splendid results. The rural organization service will work in closest co-operation with the newly created division of markets, which will devote its energies primarily to problems connected with the marketing of farm products at a profit. In many instances it is not the lack of a market that prevents the farmer from turning over a profit, but inability to utilize the means for reaching the market. Secretary Houston, Dr. Carver and students of farm economics in general long have felt that the weakness of agriculture was disorganization. This disorganization is the natural and often necessary result of the vast number of farm units, each one a separate business enterprise. Also it is the result of the isolation of farm life and the fact that the farmer has learned to co-operate with nature better than with men. Intelligent Organization. "The first great problem," said Dr. Carver. "is intelligent organization. There are enormous difficulties in the way of effective organization. Mere organization for organization's sake amounts to nothing. On the other hand, intelligent organization has done wonders in many industries. The citrus fruit industry of the Pacific coast furnishes a wonderful example. Unorganized, the orange growers of California could not market their crops at a profit. With their present effective organization the difficulties in the way of reaching the right markets are reduced to a minimum. "Take another illustration. The beet sugar manufacturers are organized. As a result they pay the farmers who raise sugar beets only enough to keep them at the work. If the farmers were organized and the sugar manufacturers unorganized the farmers would make the manufacturers pay at least a fair profit. Unorganized, they can only accept what the manufacturer is willing to pay." Plenty of Funds. The rural organization service will be financed by the general education board, one of the philanthropies of John D. Rockefeller. While backed by practically unlimited funds, however, the work will not be done on an extravagant scale. The general education board so far has appropriated only enough money to make a beginning and to effect an organization of thoroughly competent men. The southern education board, a branch of the general board, for several years past has been co-operating with the department in its farmers' co-operative demonstration work in the southern states. This work has met with phenomenal success and has solved many farm problems for the south. Effective organization in marketing crops will ultimately bring the farmer a much larger return for his work and also reduce the cost of living to the consumer by removing the middleman wherever practicable. BALDHEAD CLUB TO MEET. Hairless Pated Band, Toastmaster and Host For Banquet. Robert J. Orr, president of the Baldhead Club of America, who was fifty-five years old recently, called a meeting of the officers of the club at his home in Pittsfield, Mass., to celebrate. Incidentally there was a business meeting of the club at which Oct. 16 was set as the date of the second annual banquet of the club, which will be held at Canaan, Conn., in a hotel managed by a baldheaded proprietor. John Rodemeyer, a baldhead editor, will be toastmaster, and the six Karl brothers of Litchfield, Conn., all baldheaded, will furnish the music. The club has a membership of ninety-six. No. 43 Why fout the summer girl, my son? Why criticise her attitude? Why ban her from the whirl, my son, With carpeting word and plaititude? What if she fickle proves, my son?

She's like the clouds above, my son, Least trusted in tranquillity. Her face is fair and fresh, my son, Her heart like airy thistledown.

COLLIER PLANS TO FLY ACROSS ATLANTIC Publisher Building a Hydroaeroplane, Marblehead Hears. Robert J. Collier, the New York publisher, it is said, will attempt to cross the Atlantic ocean in the fall in a flying boat equipped with a 200 horsepower engine of French design and capable of 100 miles an hour or more. The hydroaeroplane is being constructed at the Burgess-Curtiss aeroplant, Marblehead, Mass., with much secrecy. It will be larger and nearly twice as swift as the craft constructed for the navy department recently, which has made forty successful flights. It will cost between $15,000 and $20,000. Mr. Collier, it is said, told the designers that he wanted the craft merely for sport, but his intimate friends say that he is bent upon attempting the transatlantic flight. He has been to Marblehead several times in the past few weeks and will try out the flying boat over the harbor in about two weeks. The machine will be entirely finished by the middle of July. The flying boat, it is said, will be the largest and fastest hydroaeroplane in the world. A special twenty cylinder Anzani engine, with 200 horsepower, has been imported at a cost of $10,000. It is made almost entirely of aluminium, weighing about 700 pounds. The gross weight of the machine, including the weight of the aviator and a passenger, will be 2,200 pounds. The planes are forty-five feet in length from tip to tip and are made of special varnished linen. They are seven feet apart and supported by a single line of uprights of steel, with steel wire brunnels, resembling cables on suspension bridges. The propellers have eight foot blades, made of solid mahogany, set at right angles, making four blades. The engine is situated between the planes, behind and almost two feet above the head of the operator. It can easily be "turned over" by a wheel arrangement without necessitating the operator leaving his seat. Besides carrying a tank with a capacity of fifty gallons, there is room in the craft for another tank of the same size. This would give Mr. Collier sufficient gasoline to carry him across the ocean. The air craft will sit lightly on the water and in this position can make from sixty to seventy-five miles an hour. It is uninkable, and this, with its speed, removes most of the danger of descending to the water in flight. All parts of the flying boat have been finished, and it will take about two weeks longer to assemble them. The craft resembles the naval flying boat, but is several feet longer, and its engine will have three times the horsepower. CHURCH GARAGE FOR BABIES. Care of Perambulators Expected to Increase Congregation. A garage for baby carriages is to be a feature of the Henry Disston Memorial Methodist church, in course of construction in Tacony, a suburb of Philadelphia. The Rev. Cornelius Hudson, the pastor, in speaking about the innovation, said: "We have lots of babies in the congregation, and we thought that if we built a place where the mothers and the fathers could keep the carriages during the service more of them would attend the services regularly. "It has been no uncommon sight to see sixteen or seventeen baby carriages lined up in front of the church on a Sunday afternoon. We have taken a census and believe that at least 100 families with their babies will come here if we give them a suitable place where their perambulators can be taken care of."

The new plant is especially suitable for the sunny tobacco districts of Massachusetts and Connecticut. Another hybrid from "broad leaf" and "Cuban" gives a much higher yield than "broad leaf" and promises to be of better quality.

In the early days of the Fourth of July celebration the small boys had to content themselves with "squibs," or small balls of moistened powder, which fizzed and gave out sparks in the darkness; with the rapid waving of firebrands, the sight of glowing bonfires and perhaps a limited participation in the "fun of fire"—namely, the tossing of fire balls made of tow saturated with tar or turpentine into the air, an amusement in which many men and boys frequently took part. McKinley on the Fourth. Let us always remember that, whatever differences about politics may have existed or still exist, we are all Americans before we are partisans and cherish the welfare of all the people above party or state. God bless every undertaking which revives patriotism and rebukes the indifferent and lawless.—William McKinley, July 4, 1897. TWIN CITY STAR AN OLD TIME FOURTH. Indiana Celebrated by Wearing Flags For Breechclouts. One of the most remarkable old time celebrations of the Fourth of July that ever took place in New York state was described as follows many years ago by a woman who witnessed it: "It was in 1799, and it happened in the old Indian valley of Oquago, now Windsor, in Broome county, N. Y. Before the Revolutionary war our valley was the famous residence of an Indian tribe and a sort of halfway ground or resting place for the Six Nations at the north and the tribes of Wyoming at the south when they visited each other. "In the year I named these Indians accepted a proposition from the government to remove to lands set apart for them in the then far west, and on that Fourth of July we celebrated at one and the same time the Declaration of Independence and the departure of the Indians. The poor creatures made it a lively Fourth. "They danced all sorts of queer dances and went through all sorts of queer ceremonies. Toward nightfall they all got pretty well filled up with firewater, and then they rushed about with nothing on but American flags for breechclouts, hurrying for the Fourth of July and yelling, goodby to us all. Some of us were frightened half to death for fear they would sculp us, but the liquor only seemed to make them playful, not ferocious. As soon as it was dark they lighted a big bonfire, around which they danced wildly for several hours." CELEBATING THE FOURTH. One Hundred and Thirty-six Years Age—and Now. One of the men who signed the Declaration of Independence is said to have expressed the desire that he might rise from his grave a hundred years later to witness the manner in which posterity observed the Fourth of July. If his, wish could have been gratified the venerable patrol would have found a decided change in the manner of the celebration, but none in the feeling which inspired it. Posterity, too, would undoubtedly have turned the tables on him, eagerly questioning him in turn as to the celebrations in his day, but even without his aid its questions can be answered. Will coming years see greater celebrations and rejoilings? The methods of celebrating doubtless will be modified. Perhaps less ringing of bells and noise of cannon may attend it, but the enthusiasm of the people is still unmistakable, and in whatever form it finds expression, so long as the Fourth of July is celebrated with unabated zeal and the children are fired by it with the same patriotism which animated their fathers and their forefathers, our nation is safe. The boys who today burn powder in its honor will not be slow should need arise to burn powder in its defense. JEFFERSON'S LAST WORDS He Explained the Influence of the Declaration of Independence. NINE days before his death Thomas Jefferson was asked to write a sentiment for the forthcoming fifteenth anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, the day of jubilee on which, by a singular coincidence, he was destined to die. ```markdown ``` He wrote: "The eyes of men are opened and opening to the rights of men. It has become clear that the masses of men are not born with saddles on their backs nor a favored few booted and spurred ready to ride them legitimately by the grace of God." Could Get Shoes From the Enemy. One day in the middle of winter General Greene, passing a sentinel who was barefooted, said, "I fear, my good fellow, you suffer much from the severe cold." "Very much," was the reply. "But I do not complain. I know I should fare better if our general had the means of getting supplies. They say, however, that in a few days we shall have a fight, and then I shall take care to get a pair of shoes." The First Anniversary. The first anniversary of the Fourth of July was celebrated in every American town, hamlet and force or fleet that was able to do so with bonfires, illuminations, regular salutes and individual feux de jole. Oration, prayer and praise prepared the hearts of men for their generally decorous if somewhat noisy and varied demonstrations which made up the general holiday. BUSINESS WOMAN OF RARE TALENT Notable Work of Miss Lula O. Hobson of Memphis. POPULAR WITH THE MASSES Inspiring Career of the Executive Secretary of Howe Institute, Who Has Achieved Success by Persistence and Self Reliance—Labora In Many Fields For Race Advancement. Memphis, Tenn. — There are many strong and silent forces at work in all parts of the country helping the race in its upward tread. Men and women who are well trained are filling important positions of trust. Miss Lula O. Hobson of Howe Institute, in this city, is counted in the number among the most progressive. She is a native of Nashville, Tenn., where she received her early training, commencing with the primary school and graduating from the Pearl High school in 1901 and the fall of the same year entered the commercial department of Walden university, where she graduated in May, 1902, with honors. During her entire school life Miss Hobson was not absent from school one day and was only late one time. It was in the fall of 1902 that she accepted a position with Professor T. O. Fuller, president of Howe Institute, [Name] MISS LULA O. HOBSON. as private secretary and stenographer, having charge of the commercial department of the school. Realizing this was her opportunity to "make good," she went into it with determination. Success has crowned her labors. In her position Miss Hobson looks after the large correspondence of President Fuller, has charge of the mail coming into the institution, distributing the mail for the boys and girls and teachers; looks after the teaching forces, making assignments of substitutes in the absence of a teacher, and is generally useful around the school. Being a member of the First Baptist church, she feels that she is indebted to her church and race; hence it is not surprising to note that she is organist for the Sunday school, a member of the choir of the church and is editor of the Record, which is the weekly church bulletin. She is also teacher of a Bible class in the Sunday school and is a worker in any department of the church or Sunday school where work is needed. Having obtained a business knowledge and being both willing and ready to work, she is kept constantly at it. Her business knowledge gives her the important place of purchasing all the supplies for the boarding department of the school, and then she is assistant editor of the Signal, a weekly paper published in Memphis. Miss Hobson is in charge of the mailing of the paper and also acts as editor. It would seem almost impossible for one to keep so busy and fill so many places, but this is what Miss Hobson is doing and does it with a smile. She is president of the Industrial club and has been for five years past. It is made up of the young people of the church, who declare that they are so well pleased with their president that they want to elect her for life. Miss Hobson is also secretary of the State B. Y. P. U. convention. Each year at the close of the convention her minutes are ready for the press. Her life and talents are dedicated to God and the race. Miss Hobson is trained in music and ranks with the best soloists and is often called on to sing on important occasions in the city and state. She is serving as secretary to the Howe choral class. Such a life shows the possibilities of the girls of the race who will prepare and who are willing to work. Since graduating she has purchased some real estate from which she receives rent monthly. Dr. Brown Twenty-two Years a Pastor The Berean Baptist church in Brooklyn held a largely attended celebration in honor of the twenty-second anniversary of the pastorate of the Rev. L. Joseph Brown, D. D., on Thursday evening, June 19. During his administration of the affairs of the church Dr. Brown has erected a new church edifice and made many improvements in the work. The program included representation from several churches and organizations in the city. ADVERTISEMENTS. CHURCHES. ST. THOMAS EPISCOPAL SCURCH 5th Ave. So. and 27th St. Minn. Rev A. H.

Eberhart Names Delegates. The National Negro Educational Congress will meet in Kansas City, Mo. July 15 to 19. Gov. Eberhart has named the following delegates from Minnesota: Thos. H. Lyles, Dr. O. D. Howard, O. C. Hall, Dr. Valdo Turner, Atty. W. T. Francis, Rev. H. P. Jones, Rev. A. H. Lealtad, J. Q. Adams, R. H. Anderson, Mrs. J. H. Hickman, Misses Edith A.

Glbbs, Mrs. Ida Sellars, of Minneapolis. At the last meeting of this Congress held in St. Paul lest year it was decided that Clermont, Va., would be the next place of meeting, but owing to the death of Prof. J. J. Smallwood, the change was made to Kansas City, Mo. Many St. Paul citizens are officers of this Congress but it is doubtful if any will attend its meetings. They know that Pres. J. Silas Harris is not the logical man for the head of an organization of its scope. We admit that the Congress brought to us some distinguished Negro men and women, but they were mostly victims. However, it was the duty of our citizens to receive them kindly, and to welcome them with that hospitality which makes Minnesota famous, especially Minneapolis. It cannot be said that Pres. Harris added to his popularity, while here, and it was the concensus of opinion that he was not the man for the place. His recent record for class legislation has proven such. We had hoped that Prof. Smallwood would place this Congress where it rightfully belonged, bringing together the intelligent minds of the race, but in the present condition it is a farce, and always will be, while Prof. Harry R. Graham carries around its constitution in his hip pocket, and Prof. J. Silas Harris remains at its head. WHEN NEGROES WRITE BOOKS They Should Receive Credit. Agents are selling a book, recently published by the Woodruff Press, Lincoln, Neb. It is called "The Conquest." The story of a Negro Pioneer—by the Pioneer." The work is dedicated to Hon. Booker T. Washington. "It is the story of a young sleeping-car porter, who was discontented; that is, he possessed energy—a desire to become more than just "George." Why such an ambition and energetic young Negro man should not reveal his identity is remarkable, yet his unpretentiousness leads one to believe that the book is written by a white man. It is a good investment, as it appeals to the pride and passions of many Negroes. If "the Pioneer" is a Negro, his modesty has overcome his merit and he will have no place among Negro writers. Evidently Mr. Pioneer prefers more finance and less literary fame. In this great city of ours, we need more consecrated men and women to throw out the life line to rescue the perishing souls. Rev. T. J. Carter, Pastor Bethesda Baptist Church. READ THE STAR—IT'S NEWS. ZION HONORS DR. BOLDEN. Energetic Young Minister Goes to Switzerland at Church's Reheast. New York.—Rev. Dr. R. M. Bolden, one of the most prominent of the Zion churchmen and for four years pastor of the Mother Zion A. M. E. church in this city, has been appointed as a delegate to represent the Zion church of America at the seventh world's Sunday school convention to be held in Zurich, Switzerland, July 8 to 15. Dr. Bolden has been granted a sixty-five days' leave of absence from his church. He sailed for London Saturday, June 21. Before returning to America Dr. Bolden will visit Geneva, Genoa, Florence, Rome, Venice, Berlin, Antwerp, Brussels and The Hague. The selection of Dr. Bolden to represent his connection at this great gathering is a signal honor for the young pastor, who has made such a commendable and distinct record as a pastor in this city. Mother Zion church is proud of the honor that has come to its pastor, and the congregation has assumed the entire responsibility of the expense of the trip. Dr. Bolden has maintained the high standard which the Mother Zion church has held in the connection for many years. He has taken in the church over 500 members and has raised in collections for the support of the church $25,000. The church has under its control property valued at $275,000, all of which was secured under the pastorate of Dr. Bolden. The church is well organized and is the pride of the Zionites. Dr. Bolden is one of the most energetic men in the ministry here and is ever ready to encourage and help the young men of his church. He has been the means of inspiring many of them to enter the ministry. He is a strong and forceful preacher. He is a graduate of Livingstone college, the connectional school in Sallisbury, N. C. Mother Zion church, which was founded 117 years ago, is one of the most historic church institutions of the race and has back of it a long and interesting history. Around the church has grown up a most worthy tradition, and the church has been the means of inspiring many of the well known professional people on the beginning of their career. The church was founded in 1707 by a committee of nine pioneer religious workers of the race, who withdrew from the White M. E. church. The first service was held in Miller's cabinet shop. Afterward the first trustees of the church were granted a corporate charter under the Zion A. M. E. church in New York. In 1800 the general conference made the name "Zion" part of the corporate title. The growth of the church necessitated its moving to larger quarters. It is now located in its handsome new home, with every convenience, on West Eighty-ninth street. UTOPIA NEIGHBORHOOD CLUB MAKES ITS ANNUAL REPORT Raises Large Sum and Aids Many Needy Persons in New York. The Utopia Neighborhood club in New York was organized in November, 1911. The object of the club is to do social settlement work generally among the people of the community and city. It has concerned itself for the past year with raising funds in aid of the movement to establish a home for delinquent colored girls. The club had a small beginning, but has steadily grown in membership and usefulness. Meetings are held weekly on Monday evening. The meetings are divided into two groups or classes, business and social. At the June business meeting the annual report was made public. It showed a membership of seventy-five active persons, who are constantly working for the relief of the masses in the thickly settled sections of the city. Their efforts have not been confined to their own race alone, but to the white people of the community as well. The report also showed that the organization has given assistance to twenty needy persons, secured homes for two infants and raised the sum of $1,076 toward the delinquent home fund. The money was placed with the National League on Urban Conditions, of which Dr. George E. Haynes of Fisk university is chief director, assisted by Professor Eugene Knickle Jones, who has charge of the work at the league's headquarters on West Fortieth street, New York. The officers of the Utopia Neighborhood club are greatly encouraged over the success of the work and are planning for an active campaign the coming fall. The general officers of the club are: Mrs. A. S. Reed, president; Mrs. Ella McCall, vice president; Mrs. Prince D. Smith, corresponding secretary; Mrs. William H. Tyers, financial secretary; Mrs. C. Franklin Taylor, treasurer, and Mrs. Mary E. Terrell, chaplain. Bessemer's Thrifty Business Man. The Grand Benevolent association in Bessemer, Ala., is engaged in an enthusiastic membership campaign. The organization is proving its right to exist by the actual good which it is accomplishing for and among the masses of our people in various parts of the south. Grand Master J. F. Thomas is one of the most thrifty business men in his town and knows how to get results. The grand lodge of the order will hold its annual meeting in Meridian, Miss., beginning the second Tuesday in November. TWIN CITY STAR NOTED METHODIST LAYMAN. Career of Dr. John C. Dany, Church Extension Society Secretary. Philadelphia.—Hon. John C. Dancy of this city, secretary of the Church Extension society of the A. M. E. Zion church, is one of the most distinguished laymen of the denomination. In the Zion connection he is regarded as one of its most distinguished sons and the most prominent layman in its ranks since the days of John C. Price. Dr. Dancy has had a long and honorable career, both in the service of his church and his country. He has attained national prominence as an orator, and for nine years he was recorder of deeds at Washington, receiving his appointment under President Roosevelt. He has served in many useful capacities in the Zion church with satisfaction to the connection. His wide career has embraced many noble endeavors, which have given him wide experience in the field of journalism, education, religion and politics. Dr. Dancy was born in Tarboro, N. C., and was educated in the public schools of his native city. He continued his education at Howard university in Washington. He began his public career as principal of the high school in his native city. He has also served as register of deeds of Edgecombe county, N. C. Shortly after his election to this office he went as a delegate to the world's convention of Good Templars which met in Liverpool, England. While abroad he made an extensive lecture tour through many cities of England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales. Returning to America, he delivered throughout the country a series of speeches in the interest of the Republican party which brought him wild notice. He seconded the nomination of General John A. Logan for vice president. He was a member of the joint commission of reconciliation between the A. M. E. and A. M. E. Zion churches and also with the C. M. E. church in 1902. For many years he was editor of the Star of Zion and the Quarterly Review. He was a delegate to the ecumenical conferences which met in Washington in 1891, London in 1901 and in Toronto in 1911. At the conference in Toronto he presided at one of the sessions and has the distinction of being the first colored layman to preside over an ecumenical conference. Dr. Dancy is a man of distinguished parts and is constantly in demand as lecturer throughout the country. His brilliant career should serve as an inspiration to the inspiring youth of the race. At the last session of the general conference he was elected to his present office and has already met with success in his new field. WORK OF NATIONAL LEAGUE. Provides For Two Classes of Social Service Executives. In order to enable promising candidates, who wish to make social service a life work, to secure good training and practical experience for such work, the National League on Urban Conditions Among Colored People has made provision for two classes of fellowships-first, for executive supervision, and, second, for training in institutional management. These fellowships are open to those who have made a definite declaration to engage in social work of some form approved by the executive board of the league. Such workers include secretaries of industrial betterment organizations, recreation and playground supervisors, superintendents and managers of orphan asylums, day nurseries, probation secretaries and executives in similar lines of social betterment. Candidates are limited to those who have been graduated from a college of standing or have had an equivalent. The fellows get their study and experience in New York city, studying at the New York School of Philanthropy with privileges of some courses at Columbia university and engaging in practical social service activities under the auspices of the National league and in connection with the several agencies of the city. The fellowships in executive supervision afford a cash stipend sufficient to cover for a period of ten months the necessary living expenses in New York city. Tuition is made as a loan. The fellowships in institutional management have been in co-operation with the New York Colored Orphan asylum, where the fellow resides and in which he spends that part of his time given to practical experience. The course of training at the asylum is so arranged that he gets practical experience in the management of all parts of the institution, from the kitchen and laundry to the office and in the receiving and placing out of children. These fellowships furnish tuition, one-half of which is made as a loan without interest or time limit, and one-half paid outright, with sufficient cash to pay car fares incident to study and work. For applications and further conditions of the fellowships those interested should write at once to Dr. George E. Haynes, National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, 281 Fourth avenue, New York city. There will be no "Negro Exhibit" at the Panama-Pacific Exposition. COPY MUST REACH US BY WEDNESDAY.

The report also showed that the organization has given assistance to twenty needy persons, secured homes for two infants and raised the sum of $1,076 toward the delinquent home fund. The money was placed with the National League on Urban Conditions, of which Dr. George E. Haynes of Fisk university is chief director, assisted by Professor Eugene Knickle Jones, who has charge of the work at the league's headquarters on West Fortieth street, New York.

Dany, Church Extension Society Secretary Philadelphia.-Hon. John C. Dancy of this city, secretary of the Church Extension society of the A. M. E. Zion church, is one of the most distinguished laymen of the denomination. In the Zion connection he is regarded as one of its most distinguished sons and the most prominent layman in its ranks since the days of John C. Price. Dr. Dancy has had a long and honorable career, both in the service of his church and his country. He has attained national prominence as an orator, and for nine years he was recorder of deeds at Washington, receiving his appointment under President Roosevelt. He has served in many useful capacities in the Zion church with satisfaction to the connection. His wide career has embraced many noble endeavors, which have given him wide experience in the field of journalism, education, religion and politics. Dr. Dancy was born in Tarboro, N. C., and was educated in the public schools of his native city. He continued his education at Howard university in Washington. He began his public career as principal of the high school in his native city. He has also served as register of deeds of Edgecombe county, N. C. Shortly after his election to this office he went as a delegate to the world's convention of Good Templars which met in Liverpool, England. While abroad he made an extensive lecture tour through many cities of England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales. Returning to America, he delivered throughout the country a series of speeches in the interest of the Republican party which brought him wide notice. He seconded the nomination of General John A. Logan for vice president. He was a member of the joint commission of reconciliation between the A. M. E. and A. M. E. Zion churches and also with the C. M. E. church in 1902. For many years he was editor of the Star of Zion and the Quarterly Review. He was a delegate to the ecumenical conferences which met in Washington in 1891, London in 1901 and in Toronto in 1911. At the conference in Toronto he presided at one of the sessions and has the distinction of being the first colored layman to preside over an ecumenical conference. Dr. Dancy is a man of distinguished parts and is constantly in demand as lecturer throughout the country. His brilliant career should serve as an inspiration to the inspiring youth of the race. At the last session of the general conference he was elected to his present office and has already met with success in his new field. WORK OF NATIONAL LEAGUE Provides For Two Classes of Social Service Executives. In order to enable promising candidates, who wish to make social service a life work, to secure good training and practical experience for such work, the National League on Urban Conditions Among Colored People has made provision for two classes of fellowships-first, for executive supervision, and, second, for training in institutional management. These fellowships are open to those who have made a definite declaration to engage in social work of some form approved by the executive board of the league. Such workers include secretaries of industrial betterment organizations, recreation and playground supervisors, superintendents and managers of orphan asylums, day nurseries, probation secretaries and executives in similar lines of social betterment. Candidates are limited to those who have been graduated from a college of standing or have had an equivalent. The fellows get their study and experience in New York city, studying at the New York School of Philanthropy with privileges of some courses at Columbia university and engaging in practical social service activities under the auspices of the National league and in connection with the several agencies of the city. The fellowships in executive supervision afford a cash stipend sufficient to cover for a period of ten months the necessary living expenses in New York city. Tuition is made as a loan. The fellowships in institutional management have been in co-operation with the New York Colored Orphan asylum, where the fellow resides and in which he spends that part of his time given to practical experience. The course of training at the aylum is so arranged that he gets practical experience in the management of all parts of the institution, from the kitchen and laundry to the office and in the receiving and placing out of children. These fellowships furnish tultion, one-half of which is made as a loan without interest or time limit, and one-half paid outright, with sufficient cash to pay car fares incident to study and work. For applications and further conditions of the fellowships those interested should write at once to Dr. George E. Haynes, National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, 261 Fourth avenue, New York city.
