Strong Fight Against Race Prejudice. The fight against race prejudice by fair minded individuals, organizations and by some government officials continues. At Albany, N. Y., on June 9 Attorney General Carmody made it known that steps would be taken through the district attorney's office to enforce the law forbidding discrimination on account of race, color or creed by proprietors of hotels, restaurants and others who maintain summer resorts. The law forbids the placing of advertisements or the publication of notices by the keepers of such places for public accommodation. to the effect that patronage will be refused any one on account of race, color or creed.

The world's congress of the Salvation Army began its session in London on Thursday, June 11. The American delegation to the congress includes a brigade of colored men and women, who are members of the organization. This group of delegates represent twelve states in the Union. Adjutant Roberts of Boston is the leader of the work among Afro-Americans. Women's Clubs to Meet in Altoona, Pa. At the eleventh annual meeting of the executive committee of the Pennsylvania State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, recently held in Washington, Pa., plans were outlined for holding the next annual meeting of the general organization at Altoona, Pa., in August. Mrs. Rebecca Aldridge, president of the federation, and Mrs. Laura Brown, state organizer, each made encouraging reports on the general condition of the organization. Several new clubs have been organized, and the outlook for the coming meeting in August is bright. e Named for Governor by Minne sofa Republicans. Former Mayor of St. Paul Appears to Have Captured Place at Head of Democratic Ticket. William M. Lee of Long Prairie de feated Governor A. O. Eberhart for the Republican nomination for governor at the statewide primaries by a plurality of about 15,000. Eberhart carried Ramsey county, but Hennepin gave Lee a majority. This was in creased by returns from the country districts. Returns from 1,617 of the 2,900 precincts in the state, these including all of Ramsey county and all but two of Hennepin county, give Daniel W. Lawler of St. Paul a lead of 1,435 votes over Congressman W. S. Hammond of St. James. Hammond gradually was creeping up on Lawler in the late returns received. Those precincts yet to be heard from are small. He must average more than one vote to the precinct more than Lawler to defeat the former St. Paul mayor. Including Ramsey and Hennepin counties the vote for other candidates for Republican nominations for state offices follows: Attorney general: (1,538 precincts) Lyndon A. Smith, 70,628; James Manahan, 51,836. Treasurer Smith Renominated. State treasurer: (1,387 precincts) Walter J. Smith, 69,840; R. L. Johnson, 42,427. Clerk of the supreme court: (1,529 precincts) I. A. Caswell, 66,768; G. D. McCubrey, 30,346. Railroad and warehouse commissioner: (1,469 precincts) O. P. B. Jacobson, 49,261; J. F. Rosenwald, 25,118; J. C. White, 20,077; J. S. Arnson, 17,959. The last vestige of doubt that J. A. O. Preus would fall to beat out Henry Rines for the Republican nomination as auditor seemingly was removed by the latest returns. The figures showed the insurance commissioner to be leading Rines with 2,911 votes. The gap between the standings of J. A. A. Burnquist and Elias Steenerson in the contest for the Republican nomination for lieutenant governor widened greatly as fuller returns were received. Justice George L. Bunn and Judge Albert Johnson are the likely nominees on the nonpartisan ticket for associate justices of the supreme court. Makeup of the Tickets.

RAPID PROGRESS IN MOUND CITY In Culture Also Colored Population of St. Louis is Showing the Way to Less Advanced Communities—Some of the Leaders of the Race and What They Are Doing. By RALPH W TYLER. St. Louis.—Visiting this city as a representative of and in the interest of the National Negro Business league, I naturally went into conditions here more carefully than the casual visitor. Next to Washington perhaps St. Louis has been famed most for her colored society. Its large number of colored schoolteachers, drawn from every section of the country and representing the best institutions of higher education, gives to the city a cultured community, as Washington's more than 500 colored teachers give to that city a superior air of culture. Secure in their professions of culture and consciousness of much "higher" education, the colored people of St. Louis for years neglected that basic foundation for permanent and substantial progress—business. There is a revival on here now, a business revival, and, while not neglecting either culture or the so called "higher" education, the colored people of St. Louis, inspired by the achievements of colored business men in other cities and encouraged by its local Negro Business league, are branching out rapidly and successfully into various lines of activities. One of the most complete men's furnishing stores conducted by colored men in the country is to be found here in this city, conducted by Clark & Smith. The largest and most modern steam laundry, owned and operated by colored men, is one of St. Louis' boasted colored co-operative enterprises. The drug stores, print shops, grocery stores, newspapers and cafes are now equal to the best to be found in other parts of the country. The schools are among the best in the country—best buildings, best equipped, best managed and possessing a corps of the best prepared teachers. No city compares with St. Louis for the magnificence of its colored churches, and no city's colored pulpiters surpass in eloquence and preparedness the colored ministers of this city nor in their race devotion. I was of course particularly interested in learning of business progress among our people. I ascertained, after four days' careful investigation, that the colored people of this city have $150,000 invested in business enterprises, that they own $250,000 worth of real estate and that the men and women engaged in business and professions are injecting into their work rare energy and an admirable personal service which makes for success. I also ascertained that the race is represented as owners and conductors of the following businesses: Men's fur nishings, groceries, meat markets drug stores, coffee and teas, undertakers, livery, shoe repairing, notion stores, printing, publishing, horseshoes, theaters, cafes, laundry, hair culture, etc. I found the local Negro Business league, recently organized under that splendid business man, W. Q. Gordon, has become a very potent factor in propagating the doctrine of business and professional co-operation. While here every opportunity was offered to me to get at the real facts concerning the race's progress along business lines. In few places have I enjoyed greater courtesies. There are seven colored lawyers, seven colored dentists and twenty-one colored physicians. They are top notchers in their respective profes sions and appear to be enjoying splen did practices which their ability deserves and warrants. Dr. Ernest Harris, Dr. Wilson and Dr. W. H. Mosby, the drugstuffs, have indicated race progress with their modernly furnished and largely stocked drug stores, the former having two stores. C. K Robinson, one of the most public spirted race men I have had the good fortune to meet, is making splendid success with his modern, up to date printing establishment, and one must go far to find a cafe to equal in ap pointments and cuisine the one conducted by Mr. Ferguson. A few of the men who are pushing the business spirit among colored people in this city and who are uniting in their efforts to make the race commercially strong in Missouri's metropolis are C. K. Robinson, W. C. Gordon, Dr. Ernest Harris, William Osborn, E. L. Williams, A. Russell, T. J. Nevina, R. H. Stanton, W. H. Mosby, with Messrs. Ficklin, Ferguson, Calloway, Clark and Smith. The cause of the race here in the Mound City is most ably championed by two enterprising newspapers which stand for the best among the members of the fourth estate. It was while here I renewed an old acquaintance with Professor Richard Cole, principal of one of the colored schools, whom I knew familiarly years ago as Dick Cole of Cincinnati. He is still the vigorous man of twenty-five years ago and a splendid asset to the public school system. RELIGIOUS WORKERS Beaumont, Tex., Host of National Baptist Sunday School Congress. Baptist Sunday School Congress. Beaumont, Tex.-Never before in the history of the Sunday school movement has there been more genuine enthusiasm over the work of the Sunday school than was shown here on Wednesday, June 10, when the ninth annual session of the Baptist National Sunday School congress was called to order in the presence of the largest and most representative gathering of denominational workers that ever assembled in any one city to take part in modern Sunday school work. The special trains were met by a regiment of boy cadets in their uniforms, and there was a trained choir under the direction of a special leader and hundreds of citizens in the company. Much attention was directed to the official congress special train, which arrived by way of New Orleans, bringing the chairman, the director, the secretaries and many of the departmental workers. A line of march was formed, and they were escorted, with banners flying and pennants outstretched to the breezes, led by a brass band, to the mammoth amphitheater constructed by the local committee for this special occasion. Two of the unique features of the parade were distinctive new innovations brought into the Sunday school congress, the boy cadets and the Negro Doll clubs. These two made up one division of the parade. The girls were dressed almost allike, and each carried a colored doll in her arms. The boys, with the cadet uniforms, marching in military precision, helped to increase the inspiration. Throngs of people filled the streets as the procession wound its way from the railroad station to the place of meeting. As soon as the procession arrived the local committee escorted the congress officials to the platform. Rev. C. H. Clark, D. D., chairman, presided, "Hall the Baptist Congress" was sung and after a ferent invocation another song, "On, Metakas and Galedas," was rendered. Rev. R. H. Boyd, D. D., directed the congress, delivered a splendid address on "Back on Texas Soll." Without further preliminaries, not even waiting for the usual welcomes, this school of methods plunged into the work of the session. Three topics, "Sunday School Teacher Training a Profession," "Demand For the Departmental Sunday School," and "The Conversion of the Child, the Slogan of the School," were taken up at the afternoon session. More than a dozen well prepared papers were read on these three subjects. After the adjournment at 5 o'clock demonstrations were given in the paraphernalia and exhibit department. At the evening session Beaumont gave a rousing welcome to all the Sunday school workers. About fifteen welcome addresses on behalf of every organization, denomination and business or profession were delivered. Throughout the sessions of the congress the workers confined themselves to the subjects outlined on the program. Each morning there was a Bible study conference and a special syllabus for the occasion. These conferences, like the other departmental meetings, were under the special supervision of well trained teachers. Some of the features of the gathering were the Metoka and Galeda demonstration Friday night, June 12, the annual congress concert Saturday night, June 13, and the first annual encampment of the A. F. Cadets, with dress and drill parades out at the "tented city," occupying a few acres, in close proximity to the meeting place. The congress closed Monday evening, June 15, after six days of profitable labor in a most righteous cause. A Bargain.

Frank Wheaton will be associated, will conduct its increasing real estate brokerage, mortgage and chattel loans and general insurance business, with Jas. L. Curtis as counsel to the real estate firm. The conceded success of the eloquent Wheaton as a criminal lawyer and his infinitable affability, reinforced by the wonderful record of Counsellor Curtis as a civil lawyer insures to the colored citizens rare team work in such legal matters as may be intrusted to the care of either of these gentlemen, while the clever SAMUEL A. DUNCAN and industrious Samuel Augustus Duncan in charge of real estate matters insures care and caution and quick action in all matters of real estate, mortgages, chattel, loans or insurance in the office of this combination at 12 West 135th street. Counsellor Wheaton will also have his downtown office at No. 5 Beekman street, New York, N Y. The Amsterdam News. Atty's Wheaton and Curtis are well known in Minnesota and the Star congratulates them on their rapid progress in the great metropolis, and our readers will be glad to hear of their continued association and advancement.—Editor. HOWARD'S COMMENCEMENT. University in Washington Graduates Large Class-Bryan Chief Speaker Large Class—Bryan Chier Speaker. Under ideal skies and amid the leafy branches of stately elms 4,000 people witnessed the forty-fifth annual commencement exercises of Howard university, held the first week in June. The academic procession of faculty and graduates, headed by President Stephen Morrell Newman, marched across the campus and took places in the specially constructed pavilion near Clark hall. The commencement address was delivered by the Hon. William Jennings Bryan, secretary of state. Mr. Bryan's subject was "The Measure of Greatness." He in part said: It is proper for every human being to apire to greatness. Everything depends upon the "measure of greatness." Every diligent reader of the Bible was a little provoked when he read of the quarrel of the people good to which would be greatest in the kingdom of heaven. "Let him who would be chiefest among you be the servant of all," came the divine answer. This was the doctrine of the greatest of teachers—the gospel of service. As Christ went about among the people good to which would be greatest an example that the happiness of life is not measured by what we take out of the world, but by what we put into it. Happiness is only possible for workers and health likewise. If you take as your motto that your greatness is to be measured the service you render you will be happy. All human beings should study the question. How much can a man rightfully collect? Note the emphasis on the word "rightfully." We cannot rightfully collect, and we honestly earn, and honestly give, and fairly measures the value of our service to society. There can a man earn millions—yes, $000,000? There can be no limit set upon the amount of money a man could earn by giving service. I believe that Thomas Jefferson who had the most progressive statesman the world has ever known, I believe if he had earned $000,000,000 he would not have been overpaid, and I believe that Abraham Lincoln rendered a service that was worth even more. How will you measure the value of the service of those who have discerned and taught us the use of steam, of electricity? There is one thing true—not in a single case, those men have been paid what they earned. Men who have earned $000,000,000 have been so busy earning it they have not been able to collect it. Men who have collected it have been so busy collecting it they haven't had time to earn it. A man who does not earn more than he is paid does not earn more than he is paid to collect books on our services. If we keep the books ourselves we may overestimate the value of our service to the world. Do not decry that which you do not understand. The young man with a smattering of learning who ventures to amount to collecting the Bible because he cannot understand some things in it should order his coffin. The first time he goes home let him ponder upon the old homely puzzle, "How can a red cow eat green grass and then give white milk with milk?" He understands it, but we do not stop drinking milk or eating butter. President Newman presented 167 diplomas to the graduates of the several departments. The College of Arts and Sciences conferred the degree of bachelor of arts upon forty-nine candidates, the largest number ever graduated in a single year from any colored college in the land. There were twenty-three graduates from the teachers' college, six from the school of theology, thirty-two from the medical college with M. D. degree, twenty-three from the dental college with degree of D. D. S. and nine from the pharmaceutical college with degree of Phar. D.—sixty-four in all from the medical department and twenty-five from the school of law with degree of LL. B. In the College of Arts and Sciences Miss Eva B. Dykes received the degree of A. B., the first one ever awarded by Howard university. The Candidacy of the Hon. H. C. Smith. The announcement that the Hon. Harry C. Smith of Cleveland, O., will be a candidate on the Republican ticket for the state legislature this fall has not only created great interest among the colored voters in Cuyahoga county, but the race throughout the state is interested in Mr. Smith's candidacy. The Ohio civil rights bill and the state antllynching law were each drawn up by the Hon. Mr. Smith and passed by his efforts while he was a member of the state legislature for two terms a few years ago. The Afro-American vote in the state is large, and Mr. Smith is well and favorably known to the white voters of the state. His chances for being nominated and elected should therefore be very good.

AN EXAMPLE OF TRUE AMBITION Interesting Story of a Yale College Graduate Who Was Born on a Plantation In Anderson County, South Carolina, "Over the River"—Gifted, Orator and Finished Scholar. Talladega, Ala.—From obscurity and meager circumstances to a position of prominence and influence is the record of one of the most remarkable men of the race, Professor William Pickens of Talladega college in this town. He is an example of what can be accomplished by a young man through industry, honesty and reliability. Professor Pickens, like most men of the race who have made a place in life, was not born in a palace, but comes from slave parents. His life is an inspiration to the boys of his race. As an orator and entertainer he takes his place in the front rank and his services are very much sought in all parts of the country. Anderson county, South Carolina, near the little town of Pendleton, is the place of Professor Pickens' birth, Jan. 25, 1881. It was in the neighborhood called "over the river" and on a farm at that. It is needless to say that his parents were not educated, but they could read and spell a little in a large print New Testament. Mr. Pickens was about two years old when his parents moved from "over the river" to "Price's place." There they WILLIAM PICKENS. lived in a one room cabin, near the great house of the landowner. After a year or two another moving day was inaugurated, and his parents moved from Price's to Clark's place, a more desirable location and nearer Pendleton. It was at this time that William got his first sight into education and became acquainted with the English alphabet, which was learned so readily that his sister took delight in leading him to school, although he was then in the neighborhood of two years under school age. The schoolhouse was, of course, the characteristic school building of that period—built of logs, with one door and one window, the window having no panes and being closed by a board shutter, which swung on leather hinges. Persuasion to study and good department consisted of a well seasoned hickory switch, a cone shaped paper "dunce cap" and a stool on which the offender must stand on one foot for an enormous length of time. The Pickenses changed residence offender than any-family in that section of the country. In speaking of their moving William Pickens himself says that his parents must have moved at least twenty times up to the time he reached the age of eighteen years. The next move was to Argenta, Ark., in the winter of 1800. This was a real move city ward and with a view of carrying out what the parents so much desired, and that was educating their children. This prospect so stirred the heart of young William Pickens that he learned to write at home before the school opened in the fall or before he could enter, because there was work to be done and means had to be got, so that all started to school in the fall of 1891. Many were the experiences of the young man between that time and the time of his finding his way to Talladega college, for he had determined that it was possible to make it through college. Although he did not have wealth he had health and muscle, and that with three ten dollar bills. This was the beginning for higher things. His impressions made on the teachers, his making the freshman class and many other things of merit by this young man attracted the attention of all connected with the college, and step by step he was put to the front, sent to the north and east until he found his way into Yale college. Professor Pickens' record at Yale is well known. All will remember how he carried off the prizes, how he won fame and how at this time through that work he is regarded as one of the most finished scholars of the race. He is a worthy example for the young boys of his race. OF ST. PHILLIP'S CHURCH, ST.

Young Lady Mistaken For a White Woman. A Fight Followed. TWIN CITY STAG C Last Thursday evening, June 11, some over officious young white fellows happened on an interurban can on which Evan Anderson and Miss Constance Crane were riding. As Miss Crane is quite fair in complexion they decided she was white and they proceeded to make insulting remarks intended for their ears. When the young couple, both are in their teens, left the car the fellows followed and continued their remarks, finally one struck Anderson from behind and he was forced to defend himself and in the fracas he cut one of the white men named Charles M. Doran in the abdomen and the shoulder. Anderson and the girl were both arrested by the police, and were kept at the station until Friday when Anderson was placed on trial in the police court, and he was placed under $500 bonds to await the condition of Doran. It was an uncalled for and outrageous proceeding on the part of the young men who attacked Anderson and he was justified in defending himself—The Appeal. We learn that the National Society for the Advancement of Colored People will take steps in this matter. Mr. Anderson bears a good reputation and it is believed he will seek civil redress. He is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon. Mrs. James Watson has moved to 554 Aurora . Mrs. V. H. Cook of Minnehaha St. left Sunday, June 14th for her home in Aberdeen, Mississippi.

RESCUERS OF HUMAN LIFE FEARLESS IN THEIR EFFORTS Story of Many Thrilling Incidents in Which True Manhood Assorted Itself Without Regard to Personal Danger at the Psychological Moment—Liberal Rewards in Money and Media. Among the colored persons who have received prizes from the Andrew Carnegie hero fund for acts of bravery in preventing death or serious injury to individuals are the following named men. The character of the service performed is also given: John G. Walker, aged twenty-nine, drayman, rescued William G. Oebar, forty-four, quartermaster general, state militia of Georgia; Legare H. Oebar, aged thirty-four, and Julia H. Oebar, aged four months; E. W. Butler, aged fifty-five, mayor and lawyer, and Green Thomas, aged fifty-six, laborer, from a runaway at Madison, Ga. Walker tried to grab the rein of one of a team of spirited horses drawing a surrey containing Butler, Thomas and the Oebars, but, falling, he ran alongside the horses a few steps and then grabbed the rein. It slipped through his hands to the loop, and at that moment Walker was struck by a wheel and knocked to the ground. The wheel passed over his legs below the knees and, still clinging to the rein, he was dragged along the street for about fifteen feet, when, as a result of his pulling back, the horses ran into an embankment and came to a stop. Walker was disabled nine days by his injuries. None of the occupants of the surrey was hurt. Award, bronze medal and $500 toward purchase of a home. Charles A. Smith, aged thirty-one, attempted to save Theodore Dilhof, aged forty-three, laborer, from suffocation, Cincinnati, O. Disregarding warnings to take precautions for his own safety, Smith descended a ladder in a twelve foot manhole of a sewer where Dilhof lay unconscious from carbonic acid gas and methane. When about two feet above Dilhof and as he was reaching toward him, Smith fell unconscious across Dilhof's boody. He was rescued about five minutes later and resuscitated. Dilhof was dead when taken out. Award, bronze medal and $1,000 toward purchase of a home. Elbert Gray, aged sixteen, schoolboy, saved A. Calvin Stepp, aged two, from drowning, Canton, Tex., Feb. 5, 1912. Calvin fell feet first into a well thirteen inches in diameter and sixty feet deep, which contained eightteen inches of water, and unsuccessful efforts were made to rescue him with a hook. An uncle of the child went to a town three miles distant and there met Gray, to whom he told the circumstances. Making no mention of a reward, he asked Gray if he would enter the well, and Gray said he would. When Gray reached the well a rope was tied under his arms, and he was lowered into it. He put his shoulders forward in order to make his body smaller and held his hands down in front of him. He grasped Calvin and was hoisted to a point near the surface when Calvin's clothes gave way, and he again dropped to the bottom. Gray was hoisted to the surface. He was crying, being somewhat frightened. The skin had been rubbed off his arms in several places, and his face was scratched and bleeding. When asked he agreed to descend head first with a rope around his ankles, although he heard a man say that he (Gray) would be dead before he reached the bottom. Gray was lowered into the well head first, carrying a rope, and when he reached Calvin he tied the rope around him, and both were hoisted. Neither suffered any ill effects from the experience. Awarded medal and $2,000 for educational purposes as needed. Noldon Townsell, aged sixteen, porter, saved Emma E. Scale, aged four, from being run over by an auto truck. Waco, Tex., Feb. 1, 1912. As Townsell and Emma were crossing a street the child darted ahead of Townsell in front of an auto truck which was approaching at a speed of twelve miles an hour. Townsell sprang forward and landed between the child and the auto truck. He grasped Emma's shoulders and pushed her out of the path of the machine just as it struck him. He was knocked to the pavement, and one wheel ran over his leg. Emma was not injured, but Townsell suffered a broken rib and was otherwise injured, being disabled two months. Awarded bronze medal and $2,000 for educational purposes as needed. Nathan Record, aged thirty-one, farmer, helped a man named Law to save Luther F., Anna and Nettie L. McClanahan and Dorris A. Stafford from drowning, Letot, Tex., May 24, 1908. Record accompanied Law to the rescue, and when swept away from the others, although slightly injured, succeeded in swimming to a tree, in which he remained until taken off in a boat in the morning. Award, bronze medal and $1,000 toward purchase of a farm. Arthur Lockett, aged thirty-three, fireman, saved Claude H. Potter, aged three, from being run over by a train. Jefferson, Ga., May 9, 1912. Lockett was in the cab of a locomotive running twenty-five miles an hour, and his attention was attracted by a scream from the engineer. He saw TWIN CITY STAR Claude on the track, 150 feet ahead of the locomotive, and although the locomotive was swaying under an emergency application of the brakes, he ran along the running board, jumped to the steam chest, thence to the bumper timber, and when the pilot was less than ten feet from Claude jumped to the track in front of the locomotive, which was then running eight or nine miles an hour. He fell forward as he struck the ground and grabbed Claude as he fell. With two strong, quick jerks he threw himself and the child off the track to safety. The locomotive was stopped when the pilot was thirty-five feet beyond the point of rescue. Award, silver medal and $1,000 for a worthy purpose, as needed. teamster, sustained citing C. G.

Home Beecher Roberts, aged seventeen, farm hand, helped two other men to rescue Thomas Ashcraft from a cave in in a well, Tyler, Tex., April 16, 1912. Roberts reached the well after Wills and Gregory had been working in it for some time, and when he was asked to do so immediately had himself lowered. He scraped some sand from around Ashcraft's leg and then tied the rope to Ashcraft. Another rope was lowered to Roberts and both men were drawn out. Award, bronze medal and $500 for a worthy purpose, as needed. Mack Stallworth, aged thirty-three, oil tank cleaner, died saving Squire Bradford, colored, aged twenty-eight, oil tank cleaner, from suffocation, Port Arthur, Tex., June 25, 1910. Bradford was overcome in a tank car by gas which had formed in it. Stallworth entered the car through an opening fifteen inches in diameter and, grasping Bradford, lifted him up so that two men on the outside of the car could reach him. Bradford was got out, but Stallworth was overcome by the gas and was suffocated before he could be rescued. Bradford revived. Award, bronze medal and $30 a month for support of widow during her life or until she remarries, with $5 a month additional for her son until he reaches the age of sixteen.

Anderson, aged fifty-two, well digger, from a cave-in in a well, West Point, Tex., Aug. 5, 1907. Anderson was working in a well three feet in diameter forty feet below the surface when sand slid from the sides and buried him to his shoulders. For a distance of twenty feet above his head there was an unsupported wall of sand, from which other slides seemed imminent. Of the twelve or more men who gathered all were afraid to go to the aid of Anderson. Duncan was summoned and, fastening a rope to himself, was lowered into the well. He dug the sand from about Anderson until he was free to the waist when another slide occurred, which covered Anderson to a depth of ten inches. Duncan escaped being buried by jumping up and grasping a rope dangling over his head, the sand coming only to his knees. Duncan was frightened, but after two hours' work dug Anderson free, and he was hoisted out. Duncan was then drowned up. After the two had reached the surface Anderson to test the wall gave the curb at the top a poke with a stick, and the curb and a large mass of sand fell into the well, filling it to a depth of over twenty feet. Awarded gold medal and $2,000 toward purchase of a farm. In 1904 Mr. Andrew Carnegie, one of the greatest philanthropists of the age, whose millions were made in the iron and steel business of Pittsburgh, created a hero fund of $5,000,000 of first collateral 5 per cent bonds of the United States Steel corporation, which fund is under the control of a board known as the trustees of the hero fund, Mr. Carnegie having directed that in case of death widows and children or other dependents are to be provided for until the widow remarries and until the children reach a self supporting age.

He died the second day after. Award, silver medal and $25 a month for support of widow during her life or until she remarries, with $5 a month additional for each of four children until each reaches the age of sixteen.

Awarded bronze medal and $500 for educational purposes as needed. Martha Generals, aged fifty-seven, housewife, rescued Peter M. Malkemes, aged nine, from electric shock in Wilkesbarre, Pa. Unable to release his hold of an electric light wire carrying 2,200 volts, the boy was being jerked about when Mrs Generals grasped him by the neck and received a shock which temporarily paralyzed her arm.

Breaking away from men who tried to restrain him, after two or three men had failed to enter it, Smith crawled through a doorway under a blast of heat and smoke and occasional flames into the hall of a cottage, and then into the adjoining living room, which was dense with smoke, and grasped the child, who had been left there. Smith groped his way back to the open door, dragging the child with him, and when he reached the open air collapsed. He soon revived. His hands and arms and the back of his head were burned. The child sustained no burns. Award, silver medal and $1,000 toward purchase of a home. Boyce Lindsay, aged sixteen, delivery boy, saved E.

Byron Gunner, president of the National Independent Political league, has issued from Hillburn, N. Y., an appeal to the league and the colored race to rally and prepare to hold a national convention on the maltreatment of colored Americans. The appeal says: The time for the seventh annual meeting of the league is fast approaching and we should now begin arrangements for it. Serious indeed were the conditions relating to our race and country that made necessary the birth and mission of our league, but existing conditions and the immediate future outlook respecting our racial and national affairs are incomparably more serious than at any time during the past fifty years. And never has it been more important to aggrie-Ger-amer can thinkers and voters should get together than today. The National independent Political league, though as an organization only six years in the conflict, occupies a place in the front ranks of those who are concerned with the political emancipation of our people. Our league's unswerving fidelity to these vital questions is its unanswerable argument for refusing to lay down our own interests. "The south is in the saddle," and the most vital interests of our people are more seriously imperiled than ever before. The outlook is threatening, and our enemies never seemed more emboldened to accomplish our ruin then now. Should the present national administration and the white south and the acquiescing north continue to persist in their work of segregation and other forms of wicked injustice to our people they cannot fail to force the "Negro question" to the very end of the century. We are the greatest political and social issue of our day and generation. Present conditions demand a race organization among us through which our people themselves can best content for their involved interests. Such an organization must be made up of men and women of the race who are courageous enough to accept and act for their needs to meet their ballot with perfect freedom and independence. Just such an organization is the National Independent Political League. Having entered the political field in defense of our oppressed people, we shall not hesitate when necessary to attack and fight any man or set of men or any party or measure to endanger the "war amendment"; or to work any injustice to the 10,000,000 of our Negro-American brethren. We shall, as in the past, continue to reserve the freedom to work with whatever party which will give our people the fairest deal and to withdraw from and oppose them. We will continue duties and nicles in behalf of our people. It need never be expected that our league can ever be made the property of any political party. We shall continue to educate and elevate among the masses of our people the spirit of political independence. (NATIONAL GUARD PHOTO) REV. BYTRON GUNNER, President, Hillburn, N. Y. W.

Under the caption of "Editorial Observations" the Plaindealer publishes the following in issue of June 5. The people of Kansas City are greatly elated over the visit of their ex-County Attorney and former fellow townsman, Hon. B. S. Smith, now of Minneapolis, Minn. He is one of the foremost men of the race and was a great leader in Kansas politics and done much in elevating members of his race to positions of honor and trust when a citizen of Kansas. He cannot pass up Minnesota avenue without being intercepted by scores of citizens both white and colored, extending him congratulations and wishing him back to the old city on the mouth of the Kaw. They tell him that he is missed very much in their community and they will gladly welcome him back and if he should return he could be elected to any office that he would seek. He owns considerable property in Wyandotte and is improving the same and making the necessary changes while here. He speaks high of Minneapolis and St. Paul, and the Northwest and says it is the finest country in the world. The colored man has an equal break and if he can deliver the goods, all the people will combine and give him a whirl forward. He looks prosperous and while the citizens of Kansas would be glad to see him return, they wish him continued success in his new home. It is given out that he was one of the best County Atorneys that Wyandotte county ever had, and he was fair and just and treated all alike, and the people that he prosecuted were as proud to see him as were those he defended. We re-publish the foregoing from the pen of Hon. Nick Chiles and freely admit that, it is evidence, that the opinions of the Editor of the Star and many others that Atty. Smith was unpopular in Kansas City were based on rumors and not facts. SECOND NEGRO CHURCH BARRED BY BAPTISTS. St. Paul People Warned by Dr. Beeman to Shut Doors on Pilgrim Insurgents. Negro Baptists of St. Paul are the latest people to feel the surge of insurgency. They have one church, the Pilgrim, on Cedar st., near Summit ave. But another is being formed at Fuller ave. and Rice st. The division came when the Pilgrim church deacons asked Rev. E. H. Macdonald to resign. Atty. W. T. Ffancis, says the pastor brought dissension into the church. Rev. MacDonald then started to build a new church. Dr. H. G. Beeman, chairman committee of relations of Baptist churches in Minnesota, today, adressed the following notice to all Baptist churches in St. Paul: Your state committee has been advised that a division has arisen in the Pilgrim Baptist church of St. Paul, and that a number of its members, under the leadership of their former pastor, Rev. MacDonald, have rented a building and are planning to organize another church. It is our judgment that it is not advisable to organize another colored Baptist church. The Pilgrim church owns and occupies a building excellently located well equipped. It is the duty of Baptists and all others may be solicited to refuse to give financial aid to this enterprise. Such an investment would be a hindrance to the advancement of the kingdom of God. St. Paul Deile New A SQUARE DEAL For every kith, kin or tribe let us have a square deal. It matters not whether the accused is a Jew, Greek or Gentile, let justice be done though the heavens fall. And the only way to administer justice absolutely and impartially is by the measure of the Golden Rule. Just shift places. Place yourself in the other fellow's position and then treat the other fellow just as you would have the other fellow treat you, or as you would be treated under similar circumstances.—Atlanta Independent. THE WORD "NEGRO" Use the word "Negro" always. We are surprised to know of so many of our race in this city, who claim to be of African parentage, or can trace their ancestry to the first landing of the Africans in this country. We are real Negroes, whenever the trace of Ethiopian blood is found in our veins, especially if born in America—Cut out this Afro-American—term and use "Negro." We will publish the names of churches, lodges, and societies in our directory at reasonable rates on application. TWIN CITY STAR NEW BUSINESS DIRECTORY. Volume Compiled - by W. H. Wright Contains Much Valuable Information, Nashville, Tenn.-There has recently been issued from the press of the N ational Baptist Publishing house of this city a very neat and creditable directory of Nashville's colored citizens. Directories of colored business men and women have been got out in Chicago, Philadelphia, New Orleans, Atlanta, Savannah and other cities, but this recent directory is perhaps the first of its kind ever published. The book, which contains over 100 pages, with a list of the businesses, professions, secret societies, churches, etc., was compiled by Whittier H. Wright, a son of President R. R. Wright of the Georgia State college, Savannah, and a brother of Dr. R. R. Wright, Jr., editor of the Christian Recorder of Philadelphia. Mr. Wright is attending the Meharry Medical college of this city, and is a recognized expert and specialist in this particular line of work, having made studies and published directories of Negroes of Philadelphia, Savannah, Ga.; Chester, Pa., and other cities. The directory proper contains the name and address of every colored family in the city, and there is also a WHITTIE R. WRIGHT list of all those owning property. The book is illustrated with cuts and sketches of buildings and leading business and professional men and women. Some things that may prove of interest to the public is that Nashville has a colored population of over 40,000. There are two banks operated by our people, eighty-eight public school teachers, sixty-two physicians, three drug stores, sixteen graduate nurses, five newspapers, nine lawyers, sixty-three restaurants, forty-five shoemakers, seventy-eight barber shops, eight dentists, 108 dressmakers, forty-four hair culturists, thirty-six music teachers, fifteen milliners, fifty-two grocery stores, two jewelry stores, nine moving picture parlor and seven office buildings. Within her borders may be found Meharry Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical colleges, Walden university, Fisk university, Roger Williams, Tennessee, State Normal school, Tennessee Blind school, Nashville institute and the Fireside schools. Nashville is the home of three colored bishop-s Bishop Evans Tyree of the A. M. E. church, Bishop C. H. Phillips of the C. M. E. church and Bishop J. B. Scott, African bishop of the M. E. church. Nashville has at least ten colored citizens estimated to be worth $100,000. It is the headquarters for the National Baptist Publishing house, the largest publishing and printing plant owned by our people in the world. It also has a colored five engine company. The directory has a good many interesting facts heretofore unknown to the general public. Mr. Wright was assisted in his work by D. A. Hart, editor of the Nashville Globe, the leading Negro journal in Tennessee. Perile of Pearl Diving. Though diving bells were taken to Caylon in 1825 for use in the pearl fishery, neither they nor the European diving dress can compete with the naked native. Arab divers use a sort of horn clip with which to close their nostrils when under water, but the Caylon diver holds his nostrils with his hand only until such time as he reaches the sea bottom. The average time that a Tamlil remains below is between fifty and sixty seconds, while an Arab remains under water between eighty and ninety seconds. Occasionally men, either from greed or overestimation of their strength, collapse at the bottom and are brought up dead Won Every Time. "Have you ever loved and lost?" sighed the swain. "Nope," responded the maiden promptly. "I've won every breach of promise suit I ever brought."—Cleveland Leader. The Jerboa. The Jerboa, which is found in the deserts of Nubia and Syria, resembles a very small kangaroo and has a rich brown fur. On the first alarm it leaps over the ground with lightning rapidity and disappears in its burrow. Followed Copy. Father (to little son returning from horseback ride)—Got a fall, did you? Well, I hope you didn't cry like a baby Son—No, dad, I didn't cry. I just said one word—the same as you'd have said. —London Punch. Subscribe for the Star. The Jerboa. PROGRESS IN MEDICAL LORE High Mark Attained by Dr. O. D. Porter. HONORED BY HIS FELLOWS. Qualities In the Life of a Former Schoolteacher Which Have Made Him a Power In the Practice of His Profession — Leader In Movements For Racial Advancement. Bowling Green, Ky.—One of the foremost citizens in this city and section of the state is Dr. O. D. Porter, a practicing physician of high standing and known ability. He is a native of this town and received his early education in the public schools. Possessing a bright mind, he advanced rapidly, and after finishing the prescribed course of study he taught in the county school. His ability to get the best results from his pupils soon attracted wide attention. In order to better prepare himself for life's work he entered Fisk university, Nashville, Tenn., in 1884. By persist- M. B. O. D. PORTER, M. D. ence in his studies he took rank among the best in his class. Having to provide the money for his expenses single handed, Dr. Porter taught school both in Tennessee and Texas at various times during his college course. He graduated from Fisk university in the class of 1891, with the degree of bachelor of arts. After his graduation at Fisk Dr. Porter entered the Meharry Medical college at Nashville, Tenn., where after three years of hard study he graduated, returned to his home, passed his medical examination and began the practice of his profession. By close application to business, painstaking and courteous to all in his dealings, he has won success and is held in high esteem by the public. Dr. Porter attributes much of his success to Mrs. Porter, who is always on the alert in the home to relieve her husband of such things as would take him from his business or studies. She was a Miss Carrie Bridges of Macon, Miss., before becoming Mrs. Porter. She was educated at Fisk university and is well fitted both by education and experience in public life to preside over the exacting duties of a busy household. The public takes keen interest in Dr. Porter's work. The white physicians have no hesitancy in sitting in consultation with him because they know his worth and ability as a physician, and therefore value very highly his opinion in cases which require rare skill and experience. Dr. Porter is a former president of the National Medical association, having served from 1800 to the annual meeting in 1901. His annual address upon retiring from the presidency of the association was replete with helpful suggestions, many of which have since crystallized into tangible form for the good of the profession. He is one of the founders of the State Medical association of Kentucky, of which he is still a member. He is thoroughly interested in all business, social or benevolent movements for the advancement of the race in this city and vicinity, and never refuses to give encouragement to the struggling young men and women of the race. As busy as Dr. Porter is with matters as above indicated, he devotes time to religious work in his church in an official capacity. Dr Porter believes in race co-operation along all lines, and his willingness to help his people by serving at the head of many organized bodies for uplift in this city is an evidence of his sincerity. Census Reports on City Population. Nearly one-third of the population of Washington is colored, according to the compilation of the census bureau, recently issued. Philadelphia stands third of cities in its percentage of colored population. The total estimated population of Washington this year is 353,378, of which 101,339 are colored. In Philadelphia it is estimated that the population this year will be 1,657,810, of which 91,652 are reported as colored. In 1910 the number was 85,657.
