FROM DOORMAN TO SERGEANT Man Who Made Good as Waiter and Steward on Steamboat Fills Important Place In Public Safety Department of Great New England Municipality With Much Credit. Boston.-Sergeant Horatio Julius Homer has made a place in the police department of Boston for himself and his race. He is among the men who have contributed to the uplift of the city and nation, and, while he is one of the busiest men in Boston, yet he always finds time to contribute to the HOBATIO JULIUS HOMER. success of friends and visitors to the city. This was shown at the recent convention of Odd Fellows held here. In speaking of Sergeant Homer some time ago the Boston Globe said: "He is the only colored man in the Boston police department and one of the best policemen in the city. He is also one of our best and most constant friends. Sergeant Homer not only knows the police business throughout, but he knows men, and he knows the world, having been a wide traveler before he became a policeman." Sergeant Homer was born in Farmington, Conn., May 24, 1848, and was educated in the public schools at the place of his birth. He commenced active work as a waiter and graduated from that into the position of steward on a steamboat. He also held positions on railroads, and in these positions he traveled all over the country, touching every state in the Union. He had many experiences in wrecks, where he had narrow escapes. He is widely known and has many friends. He was appointed to the police department Dec. 24, 1878, as a Christmas token and was assigned to duty as a messenger in headquarters for the commissioners. He has made a good record in the department, and, while there have been many changes in administrations, yet, like the brook, he continues to go on, adding to his fine record. He has guarded well the outer doors of the commissioners' offices, making himself so valuable through his experience and willingness that each succeeding board has seen fit to retain him. It was in September, 1895, that this officer was promoted to the rank of sergeant as a reward for good work and faithful service. Of course this carried with it an increase of salary. He is one of the busiest men in Boston, for when he is not at work for the city he is busy making ornaments for his home out of the thousands of canceled stamps which he has collected from time to time. These ornaments have attracted much attention, and large numbers of people have visited his home to see them. They are used in decoration in his handsomely furnished home at 683 Massachusetts avenue. Nothing is more attractive than his bookcase, which for beauty of design and perfection cannot be excelled in any of the Boston Back Bay residences. Step by step he has made his way to the front, until today there is no man in the police department who has made friends and who stands higher among all classes of people than Sergeant Homer. It is a case where merit alone has won promotion. In all parts of the country are to be found in various avenues of activity men of the race who are making good and that are being heard from. Sergeant Homer is but one of the many. Sam Langford Defeats Gunboat Smith. Sam Langford turned the tables on Gunboat Smith in less than three rounds in a sensational fight in Boston, Tuesday night. Oct. 20. It had been predicted that Smith would give Langford the fight of his life and finally win the decision over the Boston heavyweight, but those who thought Langford had seen better days were disappointed. Strength of muscle, skill and a bulldog determination made Langford the victor, and the much discussed American "white hope" went down like a skyrocket receding from its meteoric night. MME. C. J. WALKER HONORED. Noted Business Woman Entertained at Dinner Body, Mar Daughter Dinner Party by Her Daughter New York.-Honoring one's parents, due respect for old age and prompt acknowledgment of favors received have always been regarded as marks of good breeding. In fact, the Scriptures enjoin these duties upon every one with a promise. We fear that these qualities are far too often neglected by a great number of children and even grown persons in this age of intelligence and opportunity for material gain. When we find those who do honor their parents and even seek opportunity to do so we are wont to honor them and hold up their lofty example as an incentive to others to do likewise. In Mrs. Lelia Walker Robinson of this city, daughter of Mme. C.J. Walker, the successful and widely known business woman of Indianapolis, Ind., the above qualities are found and exemplified. Mrs. Robinson is head of the Lelia college, a branch of Mme. MRS. LELIA WALKER ROBINSON. C. J. Walker's business in New York, under whose management it is meeting with gratifying success. By invitation of Mrs. Robinson a number of persons prominent in the business, professional and social life of this city attended a dinner given by Mrs. Robinson in honor of her mother at the Lelia college, 108 West One Hundred and Thirty-sixth street, Sunday evening, Oct. 18. Mrs. Robinson was assisted by Mr. William H. Des Verney and Mr. Louis W. George. Besides the guest of honor those present were Mr. and Mrs. James Reese Europe, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Winslow, Mrs. Nettle Black, Oliver Randall, N. B. Dodson, Mrs. W. M. Offutt, Mrs. Robert Lee, Mrs. Philip Peyton, Mrs. Fred-H. Moore, Mr. James H. Anderson, Rev. G. Edmonston Barnes and Mr. Turner Leyton. The ladies were given beautiful bouquets of orchids and sweet peas, the gentlemen large yellow chrysanthemums. The phonograph was used at the banquet and the plano in the drawing room. The table decorations were autumn leaves, chrysanthemums and running vines. Mme. Walker mingled business with pleasure while here and received much social attention. She was the chief speaker at the opening meeting of the Concord Literary circle in Brooklyn Thursday evening, Oct. 22, and also spoke the same evening at St Mark's lycme in New York. She left on Saturday, the 24th, for Indianapolis. Improving Southern Rural Schools. The improvement in the condition of rural schools in the south the past three years under the direction of the Jeanes fund board has been wonderful. This board during the past year co-operated with public school superintendents in twelve states and 118 counties. The Jeanes fund pays a part of the supervising teachers' salary and the county the other part of the sum agreed upon. The number of visits made by these supervising teachers last year was 14,828.

SMOKE THE RELIABLE SIGHT DRAFT CIGAR STANDS FIRM ON RACE QUESTION MISQUOTED BY NEWSPAPERS Noted Educator and Leader In Ringing Statement Denies Ever Having Advised His Race to Yield One Single Legal Right as Citizens at Any Time or Place. C. Ellas Winston, editor of the Western Torchlight, St. Louis, recently wrote Dr. Booker T. Washington calling attention to the misrepresentations which have been published in various newspapers regarding his speech before the recent meeting of the National Negro Business league. Dr. Washington in reply to Mr. Winston's letter has written the following communication: DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON "Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Oct. 2, 1914" "Mr. C. Ellas Winston, 2726 Pine Street, St. Louis." "My Dear Mr. Winston—I regret the delay in answering your letter owing to the fact that I have been off on a fishing trip for a week. In your case I am doing something which I very rarely do, and that is attempt to correct a misrepresentation of my words. I have found by some experience in public life that if one spends his time in attempting to correct false reports he will rarely do anything in the way of constructive work and that the time spent in trying to make such corrections could be better spent, in most cases, in some direct effort in the way of progress. "I am making exception in your case because you have been kind and thoughtful enough to do that which very few people think of doing, and that is to try to find out directly from the individual himself the facts concerning his utterances. In most cases persons simply hear a rumor or read a garbled report of one's address and then this report or rumor is passed from one hand to another without any one taking the precaution to get first hand, direct information from the person most concerned. "You say that I am quoted in both the white and colored press as making the following remarks: 'The Negro should stop fighting segregation and lend his forces toward beautifying the neighborhood in which he lives.' Let me say that I have made no such remarks at any time or at any place. On the other hand, I have always opposed the passing of any law to segregate the Negro either in city, town or country district. I have always said, especially when speaking to southern white people, that such segregation is unnecessary, unjust, unwise and, from my point of view, illegal, and I have been often surprised at the number of white people in the south who have agreed with my position. "A few weeks ago, when an attempt was made to pass a law segregating colored people in Birmingham, I, in connection with a number of other colored people in Alabama, took the matter up directly with the city commissioners and the law was not passed. "When speaking on the subject of railroad accommodations in Muskegee I made the following direct remarks to the white people, who composed a large part of the audience: 'Let us urge upon the railroads throughout this country to provide more equal, more just, more clean and up to date railroad facilities for the black people of this country whenever the law requires No.3 HON. W. E. LEE, REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR. such separation. And there is no man in the United States, no matter where he lives, north or south, who will not agree with us in the statement that whenever and wherever a Negro pays a railroad fare that is equal to that paid by a white man he should have accommodations that are just as just and equal, that are just as clean and decent, as those furnished the white man for the same amount of money. You would not permit the white merchants in Muskogee to sell so many pounds of flour to a Negro customer at a certain price and then sell better flour and more flour to a white customer for the same money. No more should a railroad be permitted to furnish one kid of accommodation to the Negro passenger and another kind of accommodation to the white passenger for the same money.' "What I did attempt to say in Muskogee and what I have attempted on numerous occasions to say when speaking in public was to urge our people not to become discouraged or heartened in communities where they were segregated, but, notwithstanding such segregation, to go forward and make progress—in a word, to overcome evil with good; to make so much progress in the beauty, comfort and convenience of their surroundings that those who have treated them unjustly will be made to blush with shame because of the progress that the colored people are making. In a word, I try to impress upon our people the idea that they should keep a cheerful heart and a strong will and not permit themselves to be continually on the defensive side of life, but to make such progress that the world will admire the rapid strides with which they are going forward. "I realize fully the importance of condemning wrong—such wrongs as segregation—but I realize, too, the danger of our spending too much time and strength in mere condemnation without attempting to aid our cause by progressive constructive work as well as condemnation. Condemnation is easy; construction is difficult. The constructive action should employ the major portion of our time. The two lines of thought and work must go hand in hand; condemnation of wrong and constructive effort; overcoming injustice through evidences of progress. On this platform we can make an appeal to every white man in the south and in the north whose good will and influence is worth having. More and more throughout the south the number of white people who feel and see that it never helps to yield to the temptation of mistreating a black man is increasing; throughout this country the number of black people who feel and see that it never helps a black man to yield to the temptation of mistreating a white man is increasing. "In proportion as we go forward in all parts of the country making real progress and asking for fair and just treatment by the hands of all people, north and south, our race is going to command the respect and confidence of all the people of all classes. "You are at liberty to make any use of this letter that your judgment dictates. Yours very truly. "BOOKER T. WASHINGTON." Miss Iva Marshall is Highly Honored. Miss Iva Marshall, a pupil in Grade A, girls' high school, in Brooklyn, was recently elected to membership in the Aristra, an organization composed of pupils of the highest rank in scholarship. Miss Marshall is the first colored girl ever elected to membership in the Aristra, not because there have not been others eligible, but because no colored girl in the past has received the required number of votes. Miss Marshall has been an officer in some one of her classes ever since she entered the high school. ADVERTISE IN THE STAR T. E. CASON Manager ADMISSION 35c. ST. PETER'S A. M. E.

EFFECT: The effect of this amendment, if adopted, will be to permit the State to improve the school and swamp lands of the State out of moneyys derived from the sale of such lands, and to bring the State into line with the conditions of the Swamp Land Grant as to drainage of such lands, by providing an adequate application, therefore, per se, ultimate application of such grant to the common school fund of the State and the educational and charitable institutions thereof. --- FOURTH PROPOSED AMENDMENT. The fourth proposed amendment is contained in Chapter 587 of the Laws of Minnesota for the year 1913. PURPOSE: By this amendment it is proposed to repeal the provisions of Section 11 of Article 9 of the Constitution, which section now reads as follows. Section 11. There shall be published by the treasurer, in at least one newspaper printed at the seat of government, in each year, and in the next volume of the acts of legislature, detailed statement of moneyys drawn from the treasury during an emergency, what purpose and to whom paid, and by what law authorized; and also of all authority and from whom. EFFECT: The Constitution requires the treasurer to publish yearly a detailed statement of the money drawn from the treasury during the preceding year, giving the names of the persons to whom paid and the purposes for which it was expended. It also requires a like statement of the names of the persons and the sources, as to money received, and in both cases a statement of the law under which payments were made, or money paid into the treasury. The effect of this amendment, if the same be adopted, will be to repeal the section of the Constitution mentioned and insofar relieve the treasurer from such publication and the State from the expense thereof. This change in the Constitution, however, would not prevent the Legislature from directing by law that such, or a different publication, of the same or other information, should be made by the treasurer. FIFTH PROPOSED AMENDMENT. The fifth proposed amendment is contained in Chapter 588 of the Laws of Minnesota for the year 1913. PURPOSE: The purpose of this amendment is to permit the permanent school and university funds of this State to be invested in first mortgage loans upon improved and cultivated farm lands of the State. This amendment would change Section 6 of Article 5 of the Constitution, which now reads as follows: "Sec. 6. The permanent school and university fund of this state may be used for the investment of the school district, city, town or village of this state, but no such investment shall be made until approved by the board of the school district. The board must regulate the investment of the permanent school fund and the permanent such loan or investment be made when the bonds to be issued or purchased would make the entire bonded indebtedness of the county, school district, or assessed valuation of the taxable real property of the county, school district, or assessed valuation of the taxable bonds; nor shall such loans or indebtedness be made at a lower rate of interest than three (3) per cent per annum (8) years, nor for a longer period than, twenty (20) years, and no change of the town or county lines shall reliably property in such town, school district, county, village or city in this state at any time, unless such bonds from any liability for taxation to pay such bonds." and substitute therefor the following: "Section 6.

The bonds of the town or village district town or village of this state, and in first mortgage loans secured by a designated lands of this state. But no such investment or loan shall be made until approved by the board of commissioners.

SIXTH PROPOSED AMENDMENT. The sixth proposed amendment is contained in Chapter 589 of the Laws of Minnesota for the year 1913. PURPOSE: The purpose of this amendment is to make the term of office of the Judge of Probate four years. This is an amendment of Section 7 of Article 6 of the Constitution, which now reads as follows: "Section 7. There shall be established in each organized county in the State a probate court, which shall be a court of probate for time and places as may be prescribed by law. It shall be held by one judge, who shall be elected by the voters of the county. He shall be a resident of such county at the time of his election, and reside there during his continuance in office.

SEVENTH PROPOSED ADMENDMENT. The seventh proposed amendment is contained in Chapter 590 of the Laws of Minnesota for the year 1913. PURPOSE: The purpose of said amendment is to fix and limit the number of State Senators. Section 2 of Article 4 of the Constitution now reads as follows: "Section 2. Both members of members who compose the Senate and House of Representatives shall be prescribed by the representatives in the Senate shall be appointed to every 5,000 inhabitants, and in the House of Representatives one member of every 5,000 inhabitants. The representation in both houses is apportioned equally throughout the different sections of the State, in proportion to the population thereof exclusive of Indiana and taxable under the provisions of law." It is proposed to substitute thereafter the following: "Section 1. That Section 2 of Article 4 of the Constitution of the State of Indiana is amended so as to read as follows: "Section 2. In the next and succeeding reapportionments of Senators and Representatives, the Senate shall be composed of sixty-three (63) members and the House of Representatives shall be composed of such number of members as may be prescribed by law.

EFFECT: The object of this amendment is to limit the State Senate to sixty-three members and to prevent any one county having more than seven senators. EIGHTH PROPOSED AMENDMENT The eighth proposed amendment is contained in Chapter 591 of the Laws of Minnesota for the year 1913. PURPOSE: The purpose of this amendment is to encourage the planting, cultivation and protection of useful forest trees and it is proposed to add an entirely new section to Article 9 of the Constitution, to be known as Section 17A, and which shall read as follows: "Section 1. The following amendment to Article Nine (9) of the Constitution of the State of Minnesota, is hereby made, that the amendment to the State of Minnesota, for their approval or selection which amendment is made shall be known to Section Ma of said Article Nine (9), that is to say: "Section 17a.

EFFECT: The effect of this amendment, if adopted, will authorise the Legislature to set apart for state school forests or other state forests state public lands which are better adapted for timber than for agriculture, and to manage the same upon forestry principles.

It is also required that owners of domestic animals may be reimbursed for loss sustained by reason of injuries caused by dogs. St. Paul, May 6, 1914. Mr. Julius A. Schimalh, Secretary of State. Dear Sir: Referring to proposed Constitutional Amendment No. 4 would say, As an expert printer I have given the publications involved in this proposed amendment special thought, and am of opinion both these publications are entirely superfluous. The extensive annual publication "in a daily newspaper published at the capital city" attracts absolutely no attention. The annual report of the state treasurer is published in book form, and to an extent that makes it easy for every person specially concerned to secure a copy. To conform strictly with the law as it is at present, means the expenditure, under reasonably favorable printing contracts, of approximately $8,000, a sum which can be used to excellent advantage under conditions which ordinarily suggest the greatest care and economy upon the part of those under whose direction the printing fund is expended. his respectfully.

Read the Constitutional Amendments and vote "Yes or No." NYE FOR MAYOR. Sec'y Bryan attempted to impress on his audience at the Auditorium that because Congressman Hammond had supported Pres. Wilson, he should be elected Governor of Minnesota We believe as Dr. Cyrus Northrup stated two years ago at the Senator Clapp Banquet at the Radisson Hotel. "that if Mr. Wilson's administration was a success he should be re-elected," but it has been disastrous to Negroes we cannot help to elect a Democrat Congressman to the highest state office, simply "because he is a Democrat" and a consistent follower of Pres. Wilson. Aside from County Option, (the scare-crow issue of this campaign), which is simply a political argument between Mr. Lee and Mr. Hammond; a sort of "Heads I win, tails you loose" proposition, or Which will recommend, sign, or veto such a measure?) the main issue should be Individual Merit. We believe from the confessions of Mr. Hammond in his speeches, that he has had no experience in State politics, and in view of his grand party record at Washington, he would have served his state better had he attempted to remain as the Democratic Representative from Minnesota with a greater assurance of supporting Mr. Wilson. All things being considered, it is our opinion that Hon. W. E. Lee, a Republican, is more experienced in state legislation He bears as clean a record in Minnesota as does Mr. Hammond in Washington, and is better qualified to fill the office of Governor, and ask for your votes for his election. Rep. Westlake and his NIGGERS John G. Lennon who aspires to Senatorial honors will gain no votes among the Negroes by such statements as those made in Dania Hall Monday, Oct. 19th when the "Joke" (?) was substantially as follows, "About the only qualification Westlake claims is, that he has, as Superintendent of Dining Cars and in Clubs employed a lot of "NIGGERS" We will back Hon. E. J. Westlake any time or place as a gentleman and know that he is better qualified to fill that honorable position, than the Hon. (?) John G. Lennon. Reserve your space for Excursions.

Condition of the School Laid Before Trustees by Principal Washington. Dr. Booker T. Washington's annual report to the trustees of the Tuskegee (Ala.) institute for the fiscal year of 1914, recently issued, covers in detail every phase of the institution's activities. At the very outset Principal Washington says: While both the extension and publicity work are costly, nevertheless from every point of view it is believed that such work pays. Our justification for large expenditures in these two directions is found in the fact that but for the activity of Hampton and Tuskegee in keeping the cause of Negro education before the people in the north and south interest in the subject would be waning instead of waxing as it is. In a word, every dollar that these two institutions expend in extension work and publicity is helping all the institutions in the south and the whole subject of Negro education. Indeed not a few of the most prominent white people in the south have expressed the opinion both in private and in public that both races in the south are constantly indebted to these institutions for newer and better methods of education. At the close of the school term, May 28, 1914, we had registered a total enrollment of 1,527-896 men and 681 women—who came from thirty-two states and territories and seventeen foreign countries. In addition to the attendance in the institute proper the average attendance at the Children's House, our training school, was 201; the average attendance during the agricultural short course was 275, and the average attendance during the summer school last year was 412. During the past ten years the colored farmers of the south have made the greatest progress since emancipation in getting farm property. The results of investigation show that in the single state of Alabama the *Negro owns 1,500,000 acres of land, an increase of 250,000 acres in ten years. The value of domestic animals which they own in the south increased in ten years from $55,216,337 to $177,273,785. poultry from $3,788,798 to $5,113,756 and implements and machinery from $18,586,225 to $36,861,418. The values of land and buildings have increased from $69,636,420 to $273,501,666. From 1900 to 1910 the total value of farm property owned by the colored farmers of the south increased from $177,404,688 to $492,898,218. The new hospital at Tuskegee is demonstrating its usefulness not only to the student and teaching body, but to the colored people in many parts of the south. Among the purposes it is serving are disease prevention, training of a large number of nurses, opportunity for young colored internes to be trained, and furnishing a place where colored people, especially those demanding surgical treatment, can receive the best attention. The urgent needs of the institute. says Dr. Washington, are $50 a year for annual scholarships for tuition for one student, the student himself providing for his own board and other personal expenses in labor and cash: $1,200 for permanent scholarships; money for operating expenses in any amounts, however small; $1,500 for teachers' cotages; $40,000 for a building for religious purposes; $16,000 to complete the boys' trade building; $50,000 for a boys' dormitory; $50,000 for a girls' dormitory; an addition of at least $3,000,000 to the endowment fund The effectiveness of the work of the institute would be many times increased if funds for a new dormitory for boys to cost about $50,000 and $5,000 for a veterinary hospital could be secured. Legacies paid in part or in full during the year amounted to $36,417.99. Other legacies, notice of which was not received prior to June, 1913, which also have been paid in full or in part, amounted to $80,018.06. The total receipts for the year, including current expenses, were $473,164.92. The endowment fund at the present time is $1,942,112.08. For further details of the school's financial condition Dr. Washington refers to the treasurer's report. BENEFACTOR OF OUR RACE. How Edward Everett Hale Showed Interest in Wilberforce University. While chaplain of the United States senate the late Edward Everett Hale upon one occasion wrote the following note to President William Sanders Scarborough of Wilberforce university from his summer home in Matunuck R. I.: "Dear Dr. Scarborough—I thank you for your note. I am very sorry to say that I shall be away when you arrive in Boston. But I inclose my contribution, and I shall write a note for our magazine commending you to the public. Have the goodness to call at the office of Lend a Hand, 1 Beacon street, room 84. Show them this note and ask them to introduce you at the office of the Transcript. You remember that I was once a trustee of Wilberforce. Truly yours. Task For United States Supreme Court. The supreme court of Tennessee recently decided that an ex-slave cannot inherit property. The decision as stated above was rendered by the court in the case of one John Jones, who owned a small farm which should at his death have gone to his brother William. The case has been appealed to the United States supreme court. TWIN CITY STAR Atty. W. R. Morris attempted to say something for "his friend" Hon. Lowell P. Jepson, candidate for Congress from the 10th Dist., at the meeting on Thursday even. Atty. Morris has had a way of putting over a good word for his friends because he is generally called on to speak. He was asked to talk, it being rumored that he was a supporter of Williams for Mayor, as he is associated with Atty. Franklin, it was so intended to commit the Hon. W. R. Morris, who is generally doubted as to his stand. He waits until he sees the actual result of the efforts of others. But he came out for Mr. Nye and will keep his word. It has been shown through these columns that Hon. Thos. D. Schall is safe and sound on all matters effecting the Negro. Mr. Morris knew that Mr. Jepson did not answer the question asked by the National Society for the Advancement of Colored People satisfactory. He does not answer as to Segregation in the Federal Service. Mr. Schall answers all questions satisfactory as does Candidates Fred. M. Powers and Geo. R. Smith, of the 5th Dist. Mr. Jepson may have his views against intermarriage. Many do not favor this who tell us they do, but why should he hesitate to take a decided stand against Segregation, knowing that he seeks a position where his work is needed in protest, if he is true to his Negro constituents. He says, "he has been actively interested in, and a supporter of educational work among the people of the South." That is good There are many mendicants who get an O. K. from Mr. Morris and hustle on the friends of the race for educational purposes, but let us hope that Mr. Jepson's donations were not miscarried. As a Senator Mr. Jepson voted against Jacobson's Famous Gross Earnings Tax Bill. His one vote defeated this bill which had passed the House. He favored the railroads, as the success of this bill meant the savings to the taxpayers many thousands each year. Atty Francis spoke in defense of Hon Thos. D. Schall and urged the voters to send Mr. Schall to Congress as he could be depended upon to keep up the good fight being made in our behalf by the present Congressman Geo. R. Smith. The Negro race today calls for strong men in Congress and we should give special thought to the character of every Candidate. We want personal friends DAUGHTERS OF SPHINX. Hold Twenty-first, Annual Thanksgiving Service at Zion Church, Brooklyn. The most important public gathering in secret society circles in Brooklyn for the third week in October was the twenty-first annual thanksgiving service of the Ancient Arabic Order of Daughters of Sphinx, North and South America, held at the Fleet street A. M. E. Zion church. The annual sermon to the order was preached by the Rev. Dr. G. W. Johnson. The courts in this district which are named below are in a prosperous condition. The subordinate courts in the district my name and number are: St. Mary's. No. 1; Marlon. No. 9; Cairo. No. 11. Arabia. No. 13; Eureka. No. 15, and the Eureka Juvenile.

Crowder, supreme grand exchequer; Mrs. M. Scaly, first grand conductor; Mrs. Elizabeth Usher, grand guardian, and Mrs. Leah Smith, grand director. Success of an Illinois Secret Order. The Grand Court of Calanthe of the Knights of Pythias of Illinois is in a nourishing condition, and each court of the order in the state is working hard to make progress in membership finance and prompt service to its members. The growth of the order within the past two years has been phenomenal, and this progress could not have been made but for the splendid leadership of Miss Pauline D. Owens, grand worthy counselor of Mounds, Ill. coupled with the co-operation of the membership throughout the state. Important Coming Event In Brooklyn The sacred cantata of "Daniel," the restoration or captivity, will be given by the Choral Society of the Young People's Union of the Concord Baptist church at Memorial hall in Brooklyn on the evening of Nov. 12. The rehearsals for the cantata are directed by William H. Major. The members have greatly developed their musical talent since the rehearsals began two months ago, and the opinion prevails that this cantata will prove to be the musical attraction of the pre-holiday season. Mr. August W. Skog, Register of Deeds of Hennepin Co., is a candidate to succeed himself at the coming election. The people will do well to elect Mr. Skog. He has continued to employ in his office a Negro girl who was appointed by former register of deeds, Geo C. Merril, and he has proven very efficient in every line of duty. READ THE STAR-ITS NEWS.
