He struggled along unnoticed until a sketch, very much to his own surprise, won him a prize in an annual competition. For many years he was confronted by the most disheartening obstacles. He lived on even less than had marked the "starvation time" in the United States. He got typhoid fever and almost died. After a brief visit to Philadelphia he returned to Paris. Then he painted his first great picture, "Daniel In the Lions' Den." His next great picture was "The Resurrection of Lazarus," his first to be purchased for the Luxembourg collection. This made him. He decided then upon a visit to the Holy Land to study the original settings of Bible themes. HAMPTON ALUMNI REUNION. Many Old Friendships Renewed at Large Gathering of Graduates.

The Heroines of Jericho, a flourishing secret order of Pittsburgh and vicinity, have made ample preparations for the visiting members of the order and delegates who attend the meetings to be held at Heroline hall in Pittsburgh, beginning on Tuesday. Aug. 4. One of the chief features of business will be the forming of a national organization of Heroines of Jericho. A large attendance is expected. MEETING OF INDEPENDENT POLITICAL LEAGUE SEPT. 7. National Organization of Race Leaders Will Meet In New York. Plans for the seventh annual meeting of the National Independent Political league, Rev. Byron Gunner of Hillborn, N. Y., president, are maturing. New York city, the home of the league's present national organizer, Rev. R. C. Ransom, has been selected as the place of meeting for this national convention. The league will hold it as a national conference of colored Americans to confer upon and devise ways and means upon the question of denial of citizenship rights and equal opportunity because of race and color. The fine new Bethel church will be the meeting place and the second week in September the time, probably the 7th and 8th, just prior to the national Baptist convention in Philadelphia, as many of the clergy are expected to attend. The appeal is to every citizen of color, to churches and literary, civic or equal rights societies. Its sentiment is thus expressed: "Out of the world's history of the struggle of races, nationalities and classes of mankind for freedom and equality have come the classic epigrams, 'Who would be free themselves first must strike the blow' and 'Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.' Who in all the world need heed these slogans more than colored Americans, with disfranchisement, Jim Crowism and lynching in the south and denial of civil rights to a greater or less degree even in the north on the increase? "Surely organization of colored Americans for self defense and protection of their lives, liberties and rights is needed, and for this the National Independent Political league, formed in 1908, stands. Come one, come all, to the national conference at Bethel church, New York city, Sept. 7 and 8, and let churches, literary, civic and equal rights societies send delegates. For particulars address William Monroe Trotter, corresponding secretary, 49 Cornhill, Boston." PROMINENT AMONG WORLD'S ARTISTS MASTER OF HIS PROFESSION Great Interest Shown In Painting by Former Pittsburgh Boy, Whose Recent Picture, "Jesus at the House of Lazarus," Created Big Sensation in World's Art Metropolis. Of the American artists who are seeking fame at the world's art metropolis, Paris, it has remained for an American Negro to carry off the prize, says the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. He is a son of a bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal church. His name is Henry O. Tanner. His salon picture, over which the European critics are enthusiastic, is called "Jesus at the House of Lazarus." The old Biblical saw that a prophet is not without honor but in his own country has been well borne out in the case of Henry O. Tanner. To mention his name in any assemblage of American connolseurs is to receive a frank stare of ignorance. To mention his name in an assemblage of European artists is to encounter at once frank acknowledgment that you are speaking of a present day master. He was born in 1859. For more than a quarter of a century he has been painting industriously, and many of his best canvases are hung in leading museums both here and abroad. Yet none of the recent books on American artists more than mention him. One work of this kind refers to him incidentally in these words: "A picture by H. O. Tanner, painted with all the oriental surroundings, but with strong religious feeling." This writer says: "His work is curious technically. We stand before a knowledge, solid and sure of itself. The weighty strokes, which, when seen from near by, resemble a veneer of mahogany, evidently come from a flowing and unctuous brush. Through the thick paint there plays a soft light which models the outlines in chiaroscuro." Another critic said of him: "Mr. Tanner is a dreamer and a worker. He works diligently and with a good will, but he produces only two or three canvases a year. 'Because I paint laboriously,' he said with a charming modesty. I should rather say 'scrupulously.' He reflects long upon a subject until he is permeated with the spirit of it. He searches out its intimate poetry, at the same time carefully studying its psychological aspect, and even after the general effect has been established he returns to it again and again, tirelessly seeking to improve upon it. I find in his talent something of the genius of Rembrandt." In striking contrast to the judgment of this critic who can liken Tanner only to the great Rembrandt are the things written about the artist by American critics. Unable to gainay that his "Jesus at the House of Lazarus" is by far the premier among all the exhibitions of American artists at the Paris salon this year one of them can find little more to say of the picture than that the Mary in the picture only expresses irritability in her face and that Martha seems to be bringing in a dish of ice cream. This critic pretends to find many other "anachronisms." He thinks that the interior of Lazarus' house suggests the nineteenth century more than it does the first, that the Lazarus is a portrait of the artist himself and that the other figures in the picture are portraits of modern persons. The story of Tanner's life is within itself interesting. He was born in Pittsburgh, his father being a leading Negro ecclesiastic. One afternoon he was walking with the bishop in a Philadelphia park when he saw an artist at work painting a hillside. He was then five years old. That night he took a piece of awning from the back of a kitchen door for a canvas and the back of an old geography, with a hole jabbed through it for his thumb, as a palette. He tried to mix some colors on the geography back with but indifferent success. Later he made the acquaintance of C. H. Shearer, a prominent Philadelphia artist, through whose friendship and influence he was admitted to the Philadelphia School of Fine Arts. Finally, in 1891, after many viciousitudes and much living on starvation rations, he had accumulated enough money to take him to Europe. He started for SEND YOUR SUBSCRIPTION MYSTIC SHRINERS TO MEET.

Independent Political League Prepares For Seventh Annual Convention. The seventh annual meeting of the National Independent Political league, to be held in August, will be in the nature of a national gathering of those colored Americans who believe that, in view of the great discrimination, prescription and persecution of colored persons as such, they should have a national organization of self defense and self protection, as every other racial class suffering from prejudice has. All colored citizens who believe that in every state there should be such a self protection organization and that these should be connected into a national whole are urged to attend and also to communicate their views on the subject at once to the corresponding secretary, William Monroe Trotter, at 49 Cornhill, Boston. The league hopes for a large attendance from all parts of the country, every church and every society being empowered to send delegates on the basis of a manly agitation and use of the ballot. The place of meeting will be announced later. OLD THINGS. I love everything that's old—old friends, old times, old manners, old books, old wine.—Goldsmith. SUBSCRIBE FOR THE STAR LIFE STRUGGLES OF AN EX-SLAVE Coachman For Judge Richard Parker, Who Presided at the Trial of the Hero of Harper's Ferry, Tells Thrilling Story—Hale and Hearty at Seventy-six Years of Age. Alliance, O.—One of the most highly esteemed colored men in this city is Presley Dunwood, whose life story is a most interesting bit of information. His memory is intimately linked with the daring dash of John Brown of Harpers Ferry, which gave the tocsin of the bloody civil war. Presley Dunwood was the servant of Judge Richard Parker, the noted jurist, who presided at the trial of John Brown. In giving brief bits of information concerning his early career Mr. Dunwood says: "I was born in Clark county, Va., in 1838 and taken from my mother when one year old. At the age of seven I was 'hired out,' in 1851-2 being with a man named Isaac Gantz. In 1853-4 I was 'hired' to Henry Hose of Perrysville, Va. In 1855 I was with John Shumetz and in 1856-7 was 'hired' with a man named Henry Hess in Loudoun county, Va. In 1857 there was a division of the men in some way, and I fell to the ownership of Judge Richard Parker of Winchester. Judge Parker had judicial charge of the courts of both Jefferson and Frederick counties. "John Brown with his handful of men came to the neighborhood of Harpers Ferry on Sunday, Oct. 16, 1859, and on Monday morning at 1 o'clock made his charge and by morning gained possession of the arsenal. There was fighting with much excitement up to 3 o'clock, when a company of Washington marines came up and captured Brown and his men. Brown had with him but eighteen men. "I believe he expected many more, but was betrayed. They did not show up as promised or anticipated. Hayward Shepherd was the first man to be shot in that day of turmoll. He was the toll keeper of the Maryland bridge, as it was called. Brown and his men coming up to Harpers Ferry from the Maryland side. Shepherd would not give up the keys to the bridge to Brown and his men, and he was shot. "The trial of Brown and the men captured with him was held at Charlestown, in Jefferson county. I had charge of Judge Parker's carriage and drove him to and from the courthouse to his home every day during the trial. I often saw John Brown during this time, but did not hear any of the evidence in the trial, as colored people were not allowed in the courthouse. We were given to understand that Brown and his men had attacked the government. I was told the life of the judge was threatened, but I never saw any trouble while driving to and from the courthouse. The trial of Brown alone lasted a period of three weeks and the trial of those with him about three weeks more—six weeks in all. "The men were condemned to death, and Brown was the first to be hanged. Seven men in all were hanged, the hanging having taken place on Dec. 2, 1850. John Brown's wife came and received his body. Parker was not in sympathy with the south in the matter of slavery, but had to do his duty as a judge. "Following the hanging of Brown and his men, slaves were sold rapidly, many owners realizing the probabilities the future held in store. After the election of Lincoln as president there was no sale for slaves at all. "At the beginning of the war I was pressed into the Confederate army and was with that army in the first battle of Bull Run. Following a big fight about Winchester, I was captured by a company of the Forty-sixth Pennsylvania volunteers under command of Captain Benjamin W. Morgan, and from that time on I was in the Union army, however, not an enlisted man. I was in the battle at Cedar Mountain, the second Bull Run fight, and saw much of the fight at Antietam. "After the war I accompanied Captain Morgan to Pittsburgh and worked for him for several years, he being engaged in business there, conducting a confectionery store. In 1868, knowing where my mother was, I brought her to Pittsburgh and was with her and cared for her until her death in 1901. A pension had been obtained for moth- er. My brother Jim was a soldier in the Union army, he being killed in the battle at Petersburg. "After mother's death I left Pittsburgh, coming to Lisbon, and for some years worked at the Hostetter House. Two years ago I came to Alliance from Lisbon with Claud Hasbrouck, and I have since remained here. I never went to school a day in my life, but can read and write, a good old Presbyterian lady at Winchester in about 1800 teaching me to read from the Bible and also to write. I have seen Abraham Lincoln, Johnston, Lee, Grant and others of the noted generals of that day. I have seen President Wilson's father and heard him preach, he having lived and preached in Virginia in that region where my younger years were passed." PERILS OF SEGREGATION. Pointed Out by Dr. J. E. Spingarm in Fearless Address. Louisville.—Sunday afternoon, July 5, in Quinn chapel, over 1,500 colored people attended a mass meeting arranged by the Louisville branch of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People to protest against the segregation ordinance recently passed in this city. Dr. J. E. Spingarn, chairman of the board of directors of the national association, spoke as follows: "We believe that the segregation of property according to race distinctions offends both against political morals and against economic expediency. It offends against economic expediency because the artificial restrictions it sets up will entail ultimate economic burdens out of all proportion to the apparent, and only apparent, depreciation that is at this moment the ground for legal segregation. "It offends against political morality because it places a struggling race, emerging from slavery and economic dependence, in a permanent position of disadvantage in respect to other races which already hold the most advantageous positions. It is more sophistry to say that there is no real discrimination because white men may not move into black neighborhoods just as black men may not move into white neighborhoods. "Iimagine the justice of a law which denied the right of poor men to borrow from rich men, and then, to make the matter wholly equitable, denied the right of rich men to borrow from poor ones! We white men hold all the coigns of vantage, and this legislation is merely an effort to prevent others from ever disputing our rights to hold them. The result of such an arrangement can be only one—to develop a permanently inferior civilization in our midst, which must serve forever as a corrupting force in the movement of the larger civilization of which it must continue to remain a part. "Lock up a humble and disadvantaged minority in a ghetto and destroy its power to see that conditions in that ghetto are made tolerable, and crime and vice and disease are the least of the results."

Second Annual Meeting to Be Held In St. Louis Aug. 6. Houston, Tex.-Hon. Henry L. Mims of this city, national president of the National Alliance of Railway Postal Employees, has sent official notices to the various locals of the alliance calling their attention to the forthcoming session of the alliance to be held at St. Louis Aug. 6-8. Originally this the second session was to have been held at Savannah, Ga. The St. Louis clerks are highly elated over the compliment paid them, and the local entertainment in honor of the visiting clerks is said to include several new innovations. St. Louis is credited with having perhaps the most representative number of colored clerks in the railway mail service, including among the number the clerk who is said to hold the best examination record of any clerk, white or colored, in the service. Of late years the white mail clerks' organizations have been excluding the colored clerks, and it has been apparent that the colored clerks must be R. L. BAILEY. come more closely allied. Insurance at cost in the white organizations being denied the colored clerks, this created one of the most urgent reasons for the alliance. But the problem of organization of a national character doing business throughout the Union was a big one. Henry L. Mims after correspondence with a representative group of clerks evolved a plan which met with immediate approval. Accordingly last October at Chattanooga, Tenn., the clerks from various sections met and organized the alliance for the "betterment of the service," the "promotion of social intercourse" and for "insurance at cost of operation." Upon organization it was found absolutely necessary that some capable person be found to look after the details of the organization and the inauguration of the insurance provisions. Happily, almost as an especial dispensation of Providence, Hon. R. L. Balley of Indianapolis was prevailed upon to accept the secretaryship of the new organization. Mr. Balley is one of the most promising younger attorneys in his section of the country and was formerly a postal clerk. In fact, while he devotes all of his time to his practice he is still carried on the rolls of the postoffice department as a clerk, because he is the principal witness in some cases the government is prosecuting, and, though unusual, he has been granted an indefinite leave of absence. Mr. Bailey is an authority on insurance matters. He attended to all the legal preliminaries in chartering the National alliance and has written the charters for several of the state organizations. The alliance today is a healthy youngster with every evidence of a long life. The rank and file of its membership declare that the officers are the most sacrificing and efficient set that ever piloted a similar movement through the treacherous waters of new organization.

Speaking editorially of the recent segregation ordinance in Norfolk, Va., the Journal and Guide, an influential weekly of the above named city, asks and answers this question: Was the discrimination made because the Negro is not an economic factor in the Ninth ward or because he is not a taxpayer in the ward? No! The Negro pays taxes directly on over half a million dollars' worth of property in the Ninth ward. The discrimination was made because the Negro had no voice at the seat of power. Segregation by legislation will not help this situation, but will intensify it. SMOKE THE RELIABLE Sight Draft Cigar—So. FIFTH ST. and FOURTH AVE.

Carter of Bethesda Baptist Church officiated. The services were brief. Services opened with Nearer my God to Thee. Prayer by Rev. Carter. Reading 90th Psalm and obituary. Miss Gracia Corneal presided at the organ. Rev. Carter told of his visitation to Mr. Phillips and his talk with him. He had been ministered to by Rev. Morril, whose church he attended. He advised the friends who had made it comfortable for him to not wait until their last days to accept salvation. Mr. Phillips professed a hope in Christ during his affliction. The Porters' and Waiters' Club sent a beautiful floral piece a broken wheel resting on a rustic easel. The pall bearers were James Branch, Lewis Ewing, Lee Wheeler, Joseph Thomas, Chas. Hamilton and J. L. Gibson. No relatives were present. Mrs. L. D. Martin Messrs. Robt' W. Sehon, Gus. Barry Glover Shull, James Robertson, Eddie Boyd, Robt. McAlister of Chicago and Chas. S. Smith escorted the remains. Undertaker Lawrence arranged an auto-funeral, and the remains were borne to Lakewood where Rev. Carter committed them to their last resting place. The Porters' and Waiters' Club defrayed the greater expense of the burial. Howard W. Phillips was born in Kalamazoo, Mich., in 1865, of Christian parentage. His father and mother were members of Zion Baptist Chuch where he attended Sunday School. They were among the highly respected and oldest residents of that city. Mr. Phillips was educated in the public schools. He came to Chicago, where he entered railroad service and among his friends are many of the oldest railroad employees. His ability to manage business enterprises was proven by his holding many positions of trust. He has been a steward in many places where he handled much money with full confidence of his employers. He was liberal to a fault, but was always a friend to one in need. He was respected by everybody who met him and loved by all who knew him. He had many friends in this city where he has lived many years. About a year ago he was taken with diabetes, and was confined at Swedish Hospital about seven weeks, where he received best medical aid, and regular visits from his friends. He was conscious of his death, which occurred Thursday at 9:30 A. M. He was steward of the Porters' and Waiters' Club, which mourns their loss although his gain. Mr. Phillips was a man of few vices and many virtues. Honesty was his pride and Hospitality was the greater part of his nature. This fitting testimonial is submitted by his associates of the Porters' and Waiters' Club. A GOOD NAME Howard Phillips left little money to bury him, but he left no one who could justly speak ill of him. His associates honored him. Had he the wealth of Midas he could not have left truer friends. "To live in hearts, we leave behind, is not to die."

Something can be done, by good laws, more can be done, by honest administration of the laws, but most of all can be done by frowning resolutely on the preachers of vague discontent. In our political and social life alike, in order permanently to succeed, we must base our conduct on the Decalogue and the Golden Rule. Quack remedies of the universal cure-all type are generally as noxious to the body politic as to the body corporal. We must do our duty by the state. We must frown down dishonesty and corruption and war for honesty and righteousness.—Theodore Roosevelt. ENERGY OF W. H. STEWARD Work of a Pioneer Editor and Champion of His Race. Louisville, Ky.--Among the men who have worked their way up from obscurity to prominence by giving their time and talents to movements for the advancement of the race is William H. Steward of this city. Mr. Steward is the editor of the American Baptist, one of the oldest publications issued by our people in the United States. He is one of the best known men in Kentucky and wields a potent influence for good. Editor Steward belongs to what many are pleased to call the "old guard" in Afro-American journalism. Other men of this group who have been on the editorial firing line, like himself, for over a quarter of a century and some as long as thirty-one years are T. Thomas. Fortune, who edited the New York Age for about twenty-seven years; Chris J. Perry, editor and owner of the Philadelphia Tribune; John H. Murphy, editor and proprietor of the Baltimore Afro-American Ledger and president of the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of the Cleveland (O.) Gazette. For thirty-five years Mr. Steward has been the active and capable general secretary of the General Baptist association of Kentucky, a position of much responsibility, which he still [Name] WILLIAM H. STEWARD. holds with great credit and satisfaction to those whom he serves. He is also the chairman of the trustee board of the state university in this city, of which William T. Auriger is president. He was the choice of hundreds of pastors and laymen a few years ago as their representative to England in the interest of religious work. On his return from abroad he delivered a series of lectures in which he gave interesting accounts of his trip. So popular were his lectures that he made a tour of the state, speaking in the larger cities and towns. It was while holding the position of secretary of the Afro-American council that Mr. Steward attracted state wide attention in the fight of the council against the jimcrow car bill, which came before the state legislature at that time. His life has been a useful one, and his efforts for the good of the race have been felt in many directions for racial betterment. HOUSE FOR RENT. 8 rooms, all modern, toilet, bath gas.

Boley, Okla., Owned Entirely by Afro-Americans. FOUNDED BY T. M. HAYNES National Negro Business League's Representative Gives Facts and Figures Which Show Remarkable Achievements and Capacity of Our People For Self Government. By RALPH W. TYLBR. Boley, Okla.—To prove that the Negro, as a race, is incapable of self government such proud Caucasians as would arbitrarily assume to serve as accusers, judge and jury for the race are wont to point to that revolution torn black republic, Haiti. If such would but turn their eyes to the southwest they would behold the existence in one state alone—Oklahoma—of eight exclusively Negro towns that are conclusively demonstrating the Negro's capacity for self government and as a town builder. Boley, Taft, Red Bird, Langston, Tatums, Brooksville, Vernon and Rentiesville, all in the state of Oklahoma, testify to the innate peacefulness and the acquired constructiveness of the American Negro. Boley, with its 2,500 exclusively Negro population within the corporate limits of the town and its 10,000 Negro population within a radius of ten miles, which population is a direct contributant to the municipality, is the largest of the eight exclusively Negro towns in Oklahoma and the largest exclusively Negro town on the western hemisphere, being three times the size of Mound Bayou, Miss., the much exploited Negro settlement. I spent several days here in the interest of that wonderfully constructive organization -which Dr. Booker T. Washington inspired into existence-the National Negro Business league-carefully investigating this exclusively Negro town, whose stability and orderly government, carefully and conservatively administered, present the conclusive proof that the American Negro is capable of self government. In Haiti a standing army, whose maintenance imposes a burdensome tax upon the country's limited resources, preserves the life of the republic and at the same time contributes to continual disastrous and bloody revolutions. In Boley no soldiers patrol its borders, its streets, or guard its regularly elected officials. Boley is governed not by force of arms, but by the minions of peace. Boley has orderly conducted elections for the selection of governing officials, but no armed revolutions to enthrone an executive. Boley's taxes are assessed by and with the consent of the governed and not by arbitrary officials who "assume" office and power through might. Boley typifies the constructive propaganda of Booker T. Washington rather than the destructive intrigues which foment in the black republic just beyond America's southern sea kissed border. Boley represents Negro advancement. Boley at first was but a mere camp of Negro railroad construction hands, whose foreman was a white man named Boley, from whom it took its name. It was founded by T. M. Haynes, a Negro, who is still living—and a valued citizen of the town—to witness the fruition of his altruistic plans. It was incorporated and chartered as a municipality in 1904. The town, comprising 260 acres, laid out with broad streets crossing at right angles, has a bonded indebtedness of but $32,000 and a school district bonded indebtedness of $17,000. This bonded indebtedness is secured by property within Boley whose taxable value is $450,000 and by property within the county whose taxable value is $800,000, making a total of $1,250,000 in property to secure the payment of $49,000 bonded indebtedness. This little town here in the far southwest has been called the "Million Dollar Black City," because the volume of business transacted here in 1913 reached $1,000,000 and because the value of the city's realty and the amount its citizens have invested in business total $1,000,000. In 1913 the Negro merchants of Boley handled $192,000 worth of business, her Negro farmers handled $250,000 worth of foodstuff and live stock, her Negro cotton buyers bought $325,000 worth of cotton, and her local postoffice did $252,300 worth of business, $250,000 of which represented money passing through the money order department. The one bank—capitalized, controlled and conducted by Negroes—had individual deposits at the close of business Dec. 31, 1913, amounting to $55,000. This financial showing for a community composed exclusively of people but half a century removed from slavery—from a period when the right to acquire and hold property was denied them both by public sentiment and law—is a splendid attestation to the thrift and industry of our race. The residences, public buildings and stores of Boley compare most favorably with those of any town of like size whose controlling population is made up of the dominant race. In fact, there are many white older towns throughout the west of this and greater size whose residences, public buildings and stores do not compare with Boley's. TWIN CITY STAR BIG FACTOR IN UPLIFT WORK Wide Influence Exerted By Spelman Seminary. ENERGY OF THE STUDENTS. Brief Account of What Mrs. S. C. J. Bryant, a Graduate of Spelman, Is Doing For Our People Through the School Which She Founded Five Years Ago. Atlanta, Ga.—Spelman seminary continues to exert a wide and uplifting influence upon the people of this community. The message sent on New Year's day, 1914, by General Booth to his great army, condensed into the single word "Others," may be said to be engraved upon the heart of every Spelman girl as she goes forth to perform life's duties. Not only is she willing to do for those less fortunate, but her training has made her also capable of helping the needy. So well known is the character of this school that when the announcement is made in a community that the new teacher is a Spelman student no young person remains at home for any reason whatsoever, not even to pick cotton. Nor is it the children only A. MRS B. C. J. BRYANT. who profit by the presence of the earnest teacher in their midst. Mothers confide their perplexities, the minister presents his difficulties, the civic officer seeks conference—the entire village looks to the Spelman teacher and finds in her a counselor and friend. Among the daughters of Spelman who have entered upon a life of selfforgetting labor is Mrs. S. C. J. Bryant of this city. She completed the high school course in 1901. Later she took the degree of bachelor of theology at Morehouse college. Her husband, Dr. P. J. Bryant, is pastor of Wheat Street Baptist church, the membership of which is something over 5,000. Mrs. Bryant is a woman of many and varied interests, being state president of the Woman's Missionary and Educational society and vice president of the national Baptist convention. Besides being a leader in church matters, she is also a vitally active member of numerous committees for the betterment of the home, the school and the community. Despite the manifold demands upon her time and strength, she has added to her cares by starting a preparatory and industrial school. Her inspiration came from seeing members of the Wheat Street church, keenly anxious to be about the King's business, burning with zeal, but unable to plan, to execute, to bring to fruition, because of the lack of proper training. Looking into their eager faces, she read her master's message. On Sept. 4, 1909, the Bryant school was opened in five small rooms over a grocery store. The enrollment that year was 175, with four teachers. The brave spirit of this woman, her clear vision and wise management, gained for the school friends who made it possible to close the year free of debt. Now there are eight teachers and 275 pupils. Thirty-eight of these are in the kindergarten department. A recent visit to this school at night was of unique interest. The rooms over the grocery store, in which the school is still held, are in size 12 by 15. Two classes were being conducted in each. There are no desks in these rooms, and the blackboards are very poor. From 7:30 until 10 o'clock these grown people who have worked hard all day pore over their books with an eagerness which is pathetic. Some of them walk six and seven miles to get here. One woman, who conducts a school of her own of sixty pupils during the day, attends here at night and seizes with avidity every possible scrap of knowledge so as to have a bit of new mental food for her children on the morrow. One man, long grown, is now able to manage his business owing to three years' drill with Mrs. Bryant and her helpers. Among other things which impresses one is the marvelous patience of the teachers, for to instruct men and women of the age of sixty-five and over in the rudiments is not calculated to soothe the nerves. The hours which most of these teachers devote to their profession are from 8:30 a. m. to 10 p. m., and all this for the princely salary of $25 a month or less. The "Boost Boston" fund created by Mayor Curley was given a boost by the receipt at the Mayor's office of a contribution of $200 which comes from a large group of colored men of Boston. The names of Edgar P. Benjamin and William M. Trotter are signed to the letters.—Boston Post. The cornerstone of St. Monica's Church for Colored Catholics at Lebanon, Ky., was laid on the 19th instant. It will be one of the handsomest churches in that section of the state. The Honor of Life. The honor of our life derives from this: to have a certain aim before us always, which our will must seek amid the peril of uncertain ways. Then, though we miss the goal, our search is crowned with courage, and along the path we find a rich reward of unexpected things.—Henry van Dyke. Our Life Purpose. The formation of purposes in life is a serious thing. We ought to form purposes now that will satisfy us throughout all eternity. Purposes that reach no farther than the little span of our own life are insignificant and dwarf the soul. But purposes that extend beyond the fleeting period appointed to us in this life and that open out into a glorious unending existence will enable and entrance the soul—Selected. 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. NEWSPAPER LAW. The Times at Neosho, Mo., says: "Judge James Ellison, of the Kansas City Court of Appeals, handed down the following decision in the case of O. D. Austin, of Bates County Record, vs. Burge, other members concurring, and published in 137 S. W. Report, p. 618: 'The preparation and publication of a newspaper involves much mental and physical labor, as well as an outlay of money. One who accepts the paper by continuously taking it from the postoffice receives a benefit and pleasure arising from such labor and expenditures as fully as if he had appropriated any other product of another's labor, and by such act he must be held liable for subscription price.'" BRAVERY. Then to side with Truth is noble when we share her wretched crust. Ere her cause bring fame and profit and 'tis prosperous to be just; Then 'it is the brave man chooses, while the coward stands aside. Doubting in his abject spirit till his Lord is crucified. —James Russell Lowell. "Ive written a song." "Then be satisfied with that. Don't insist on singing it also."—Detroit Free Press.

It would not have been possible to have selected any one who had the pre-eminent qual- ffications for this great task who would have been able to render this service for the race as Mrs. Dunbar bas done. Bhe came to this work qualified by years of study and expertence equaled by few members of our race. Consid. ered as she ts—an English scholar un. surpassed by any in the race and with few competitors in the other race—she has performed a service In literary pro uctions that will forever make her name honored and illustrious in racial annals. The book contains fifty : ES ee re speeches dating from 1818 to 1913, rep- resentative of the best that the Negro hhas done in oratory. Tt gives to the rising generation among us the opportunity of having at once a reference book, a library and a historical work in one volume. Among the features of this most won derful publication is the renowned At. lanta speech that made Booker T. Washington famous; the speech of Henry Highland Garnett, the first man of our race ever invited to preach in the United States house of represent atives.

FERGUSON. Worked His Way Through School. ‘Stands Foremost In His Profession. Richmond, Va.—Foremost among the men of bis profession in this city Is David Arthur Ferguson, doctor of sur. gical dentistry. He is a uative of Portsmouth O., where he was born a Uttle less than forty years ago. His parents are also natives of Ohio, but in 4885 went to Bowling Green, Ky., at which time Mr. William B. Ferguson, father of Dr. D. A. Ferguson, became principal of one of the public schools. Young Mr. Ferguson after complet. ing the public schoo! course at Bowling Green became an apprentice in the dental office of Dr. H. T. Barr. in which capacity he served for three years. His pay in the beginning was $1.50 per month, Having the desire for a higher education, Mr. Ferguson returned to his native home, Portsmouth, in 1892 and entered the high school, from which he was graduated with honors in the class of 1896. During his high school course his spare time was em- ployed in the office of Dr. C. P. Dennis, where he earned money enough to pay his expenses in school. Upon the completion of his high school course Dr. Ferguson matricu- lated for Howard university, dental de- partment, from which he was gradu- ‘sted in 1899, Having had seven years’ experience in practical dentistry, Dr. Ferguson ‘was permitted to do operative work in the dental infrmary with the members of the sentor class and also acted as assistant to the demonstrators in the dental laboratory. So proficent was he in prosthetic work that he was kept working in the laboratories of seven dentists. In this manner he earned more than enough : < Ss it Po en ee to defray all of his expenses. Thus with what he earned during the sum- mer months doing hotel work at vart- ous summer resorts he was enabled to ‘send money to bis father during schoo! vacation, his father having been un- able to render him any financial assist- ance, Dr. Ferguson was married Nov. 20, 1807, to Miss Antoinette V. Carter of Washington. They are the proud pos- sessors of two children, a boy and a girl, aged fifteen and ten respectively. Tn 1890 Dr. Ferguson began the practice of his profession in Richmond, Va., being the first colored applicant to appear before the Virginia state board of dental examiners. He also had the istinction of making one of the high- est averages ever made before that board. For several years Dr. Ferguson has been a very active member of the National Medical association, attending every session. ‘At the meeting held at Tuskegee in 1912 he was elected vice president of the National association. In 1913 he was unanimously elected president of the Tristate Dental association of the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia. This was the first meeting of this association, and it was held at Buckroe Beach, Va. Dr. Ferguson is well and favorably known for his JUberality. He is unselfish and takes great interest and pride in assisting and advising the younger members of the profession. While he devotes atrict attention to his very large practice, he ever holds in mind the old adage that “all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." Dr. Ferguson, accompanied by Mrs. Ferguson, will be at the next session of the National Medical associa- tion to be held in Raleigh, N. O,, be- | ginning Tuesday, Aug. 25. ‘The Alahama Dixie Line Railroad. The progress of the colored people of Alabama {s attracting a deal of atten- tion since the news of the Dixie Line railroad was given to the public. This railroad runs from Kowalaga, a thrifty town in the state, to Alexander City in the eastern part of the state, and is the first to be built and operated by our race in America.
