EXERTS A WIDE INFLUENCE. Notable Achievements of President Robert S. Wilkinson of the Agricultural and Mechanical College—Wins the Distinction of Being an Educational Expert. Orangeburg, S. C. — South Carolina has given to the race one of the foremost leaders and educators in the country in the person of Professor Robert Shaw Wilkinson, president of the State Agricultural and Mechanical college, at Orangeburg. He represents the possibilities of the young men who will prepare themselves, find a place and stick to it. Professor Wilkinson is a native of Charleston, S. C., and was given his foundation for an education in the public schools of Charleston and also completed the normal course in the Avery Normal institute, in his native city. He was appointed to the West Point Military academy in 1884 from the First congressional district of South Carolina, a distinction which has been won by but few members of the race. Because of physical conditions he remained there only one year and then entered Oberlin college. He graduated from the classical course in 1891 with the degree of bachelor of arts. He won many honors for his literary work. Because of his achievements in the arts and sciences Oberlin conferred on him the degree of master of arts. Being well prepared, his first real school work was done in the state university, Louisville, Ky. For five years he was active in this work, holding the position of professor of languages and vice president. He made good in Kentucky and made many friends. But when his native state called him to take the position of professor of mathematics and physics in the new state college, established in 1896 under the land grant college en- DR. BOBERT SHAW WILKINSON. actment of the federal government, he responded by resigning from the state university. Since his connection with the school many positions have been offered him, but he has remained at Orangeburg with the state school, filling several positions. He is an all around man, and when there is a position of any kind to be filled he readily serves. The valuation of the property has been increased from $150,000 to $275,000 and the faculty at the same time from twenty-six to fifty-seven and the enrollment from 502 to 1,100 annually. New departments and courses have been added, until now it stands as the training place for professional and vocational teachers not alone for South Carolina, but for other states in which the graduates are finding their way. In the student body are to be found representatives from Tennessee, Virginia, Illinois, North Carolina, Georgia and Florida. It is of interest to know that the graduating class for this year numbers sixty-eight, and there are 112 in the freshman class. The annual budget of the college exceeds $50,000. Dr. Wilkinson had conferred on him the degree of doctor of philosophy by the state university of Louisville, Ky. When it comes to doing things for the race he is always found in the front rank. He is active in many organizations representing refinement and culture and racial uplift. He is a member of the Episcopal church, a lay reader in the Orangeburg mission and holds membership in the following organizations: National Geographical society, Southern Sociological congress, Free and Accepted Masons and the Knights of Pythias. In the Knights of Pythias he is grand master of exchequer and is custodian of over $20,000 annually for the order. In the extension work he travels extensively annually over the state and is accomplishing great good for the material advancement of the race. He has won for himself the distinction of "educational expert." To him are referred many matters upon which he is considered an authority. The latest development in the institution is the summer school for the training of teachers. In this school 800 teachers enroll each year. In 1897 Dr. Wilkinson was married to Miss Marion Birle of Charleston, S. C. Their union has been blessed with four children. TYLER AN HONOR GRADUATE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF OHIO Son of Ralph W. Tyler Complete Course in Pharmacy. Columbus, O.—The only member of our race in this year's graduating class at the College of Pharmacy of the U iversity of Ohio is Waldo Woodson Tyler of this city, son of former au- ditor for the navy, Ralph W. Tyler. Young Tyler took the four year course, specialising in chemistry, in which he has been rated high, and will graduate with the degree of bachelor of science. There are thirty members of this year's graduating class, the remaining twen- ty-nine being white. The majority of the white students took the two year pharmacy course, but Tyler, along with eight whites, took the four year course, and this course at the University of Ohio is regarded as one of the hardest and most efficient of any university in the country. From the ten colleges which make up the University of Ohio there will graduate this year over 800 students, only seven of whom are colored. One young colored man graduates from the College of Agriculture in the person of Henry A. Wilson of Talladega, Ala. There will be five graduates from the College of Veterinary Medicine. Norman Dumas Miller of Fort Spring, Ark. Robert M. Winkfield, Lexington, Ky. Louis M. Weaver, Ironton, O.; Ralph Vincent Kennon, Cedarville, O., and Elmer LeRoy Carson of this city. The University of Ohio has 5,000 students, only about thirty-five of whom are colored. The institution is richly endowed by federal and state appropriations, and possesses buildings that are second to no university in the country. No distinction is made in the admission of students on account of color. Commencement Week at Tuskegee. Commencement week at the Tuskegee (Ala.) institute began on Sunday, May 23. The commencement sermon was preached by the Right Rev. Theodore D. Bratton of Jackson, Miss. The students marched to the chapel in a body. Thursday, May 27, was observed as commencement day, and the address was delivered by the Right. Rev. R. S. Williams, bishop of the Colored Methodist Episcopal church of Augusta, Ga. Special trains for commencement day were run from Opelika, Fla., and Montgomery, Ala. Dr. J. W. Darden was in charge of the party from Opelika and Victor H. Tulane was in charge of the Montgomery delegation. National Sunday School Congress. Henry Allen Boyd, secretary of the National Baptist Sunday School congress, is congratulating the local committee on entertainment at Birmingham, Ala., where the annual session is to be held beginning Wednesday, June 9. on the splendid arrangements which it has made for the care and comfort of the thousands of delegates and visitors who will attend the sessions of the congress. The meetings will run for six days. The program is ready for distribution, and the subjects cover every phase of Sunday school methods and management. Moving Pictures Show Race Progress. Interesting features above the ordinary, shown at the carnival held at Montlouis hall, Indianapolis, Ind., May 24 and 25 under the auspices of the woman's council for the benefit of the Lincoln hospital, were the moving pictures of the business enterprises conducted by our people, the baby show and the exhibition drill. The results of the carnival were very encouraging to the members of the council. MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. JUNE 5, 1915. REVIEW OF RACE THRIFT IN OHIO Lack of Proper Information Concerning Our Achievements In Education and Wealth May Be Cause of Apparent Prejudice Against the Colored Population In Buckeye State. By RALPH W. TYLER. Columbus, O.—It is perhaps to the disadvantage of the colored man that white friends know more about the foreign born citizens who are in our midst than they do about the colored race, which, like the poor, we have with us always, and have had with us since 1620. It may well be that an unconsciousness of what the colored man has done and is doing rather than any innate race prejudice is responsible for much of the apparent discrimination the race suffers from in Ohio. Any time there exists within a specified domain a goodly number of people of any race or nationality who, in all things for mutual progress, are one as the hand, but in all things social are as separate as the fingers on the hand, there develops a problem to invite the serious and helpful attention of all those who are willing to vouchsafe exact justice without regard for race or color. There are 111,452 colored persons in Ohio, all native born Americans. These people are not decreasing in numbers, but, on the contrary, are increasing. They increased 15 per cent in a decade. They are not all black—these people whose earlier ancestors, as Cowper said, were "forced from home and all its pleasures; Africa's coast they left forlorn to increase a stranger's treasures, 'or the raging billows borne." Of the total colored population in Ohio of 111,452, 89,249 are mulattoes, and by a strange form of evolution the mulattoes have increased since 1870, when they formed 28.2 per cent of the total colored population, until now they form 55.2 per cent of the colored population. In contradiction to the southern states, the colored population in Ohio is most largely urban, and the urban population is increasing at a rapid rate each year, Cincinnati, Dayton, Columbus and Cleveland showing the largest per cent of increase of any cities in the state. Of the total colored population in Ohio 82,282 is urban, while only 20,179 is rural. While the back to the farm movement has not caught on to any very appreciable extent with the colored race, still of the eighty-eight counties in Ohio but twelve report no colored farmers. There are 1,948 colored farmers in the state who own farm property to the value of $6,001,721. This is an increase in the value of farm property owned by colored farmers in Ohio of $2,603,799, or 00.2 per cent, since 1900. Even the avowed enemies of the race must admit this is a commendable showing and one which gives fresh concrete evidence of progress on the part of the rural colored population. One other commendable and noteworthy fact respecting colored farmers in Ohio is that they are most owners rather than mere tenants, for of the 1,948 in the state 1,311 are actual owners of their land. It is surprising that the race in Ohio has made such phenomenal progress in reducing its illiteracy when conditions are such as to make such a large per cent of them hewers of wood and drawers of water. In spite of the fact that, of the 49,207 of the race who are ten years of age and over, 41,243, or 88.7 per cent, are engaged in gainful occupation, still the race in Ohio has reduced the illiteracy at a remarkable rate. Of the 70,836 colored urban population in Ohio there are but 7,053 who are illiterate, and of the 23,074 rural population but 3,407 are illiterate. Chicago shows the largest per cent of colored illiteracy of any city in the state, and Cleveland the lowest. In Cincinnati there are 2,503 colored people, or 14.3 per cent. above the age of ten years who can neither read nor write; in Columbus there are 902, or 8.7 per cent, who are illiterate, and in Dayton there are 892, or 9.5 per cent who are illiterate, while Cleveland has but 306, or 4.1 per cent, who are unable to read and write. The fact that 41,243 of the race of ten years of age and over are compelled to be employed in gainful occupations affects, to some extent, the school attendance on the part of the race. In Cleveland 60 per cent of the colored children of the same age are in school; in Cincinnati 57.2 per cent are in school; Columbus falls behind Cincinnati with but 55.4 per cent of colored children of school age in school, while Dayton shows just a trifle better in this matter with 56.8 per cent of colored children of school age in school. If "an appeal to Caesar" was made on behalf of the race in Ohio it would be proper to state, and to show, that the 111,452 colored people in Ohio spend every working day in the year $80,726 with merchants—the grocers, furniture, dry goods and shoe men, who give the race no representation, with but very few exceptions, above a common laborer's job; that the race in Ohio has on deposit in the banks of the state $4,672,210, but not a single clerk in any of these depositories of the state to assist in handling their deposits. ZION CHURCHMEN MEET. New Jersey Conference Reports Show Progress—Bishop Clinton Presides. BY CLEVELAND G. ALLEN. Somerville, N. J.-The forty-second annual session of the New Jersey conference of the A. M. E. Zion church, recently held in this city, was one of the most notable sessions of that body. The conference sessions were held at St. Thomas' A. M. E. Zion church, of which the Rev. Dr. W. D. Robeson is pastor. Bishop J. C. Winton of Charlotte, N. C., presided. He was assisted by Bishop J. C. Caldwell of Philadelphia. Among the general officers present were Drs. J. C. Dancy of the Church Extension society; L. W. Kyles, editor of the Quarterly Review; G. C. Clement, editor of the Star of Zion, and Mrs. Marie Clinton, who represented Dr. J. S. Jackson, financial secretary of the connection. Together with the general officers of the church, there were prominent men of the church and connection from other cities. Among them were Rev. Drs. S. L. Corrothers of Philadelphia, W. H. Lee of Brooklyn, H. J. Callis of Chicago, Professor W. O. Carrington of Livingston college, P. A. Wallace of Philadelphia and Rev. Dr. J. Harvey Anderson of the Philadelphia and Baltimore conference. It was a record making conference, and before it adjourned it went on record as opposing discrimination and segregation and condemned in strong terms the practice of lynching. The conference indorsed the plan for a saloonless nation, passed a resolution favoring woman suffrage and advocated a larger national freedom for the Negro. The financial condition of the conference was never in better condition, and despite the hard times it met most of its assessments. The conference was welcomed to the city by representatives of the city government, the white pastors of the city, as well as representatives of the local churches Rev. C. C. Sylvester, pastor of the P E. church, spoke on behalf of the mayor, and the address on behalf of the ministers was made by Rev. Roy Vale, pastor of the South Reformed church, and addresses on behalf of the interests of the church were made by Mrs. Hall, Paul Robeson, Miss Inez Rogers and Miss Esther Auten. The response was made by Hon. J. C. Darrye. Presiding Elder W. H. Coffee in his report urged the development of strong homes and said homes were the basis of good citizenship. He made a plea for better prepared Sunday school workers who were interested in the spiritual welfare of the pupils. Speaking of the spiritual and financial growth, he said over 500 members had been added to the conference, 361 converts, and $49,842 had been raised. He praised the pastor of the church at Patterson, who during the year added seventy-eight members and laid plans for the erection of a $35,000 church. Dr. Clement, manager of the publishing house at Charlotte, commended the presiding elder for urging the members to use their own hymn books and literature. The address of Bishop Clinton was one of the most noted documents he has ever handed down to his conference. He made a review of the year's work and said that three churches had been erected. He warned the pastors to avoid entanglements. Speaking against discrimination, he said: "We believe it to be the duty of the state to provide for our security. We are men and citizens, and manhood and merit should be the test by which our standard is to be judged. We should have the unhampered opportunity to work out our destinies. All citizens should be treated fairly." On the third day the afternoon and evening were given over to the Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary society, of which Mrs. Florence Randolph is president. The business session of the missionary society was held in the Somerville public school, and there were many encouraging reports of the year's work at home and in foreign fields. A box of provisions was sent to Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Peters, who are laboring as missionaries WEST VIRGINIA SUNDAY SCHOOLS State Association Holds Annual Convention at Charleston. FEATURES OF THE SESSION. Executive Secretary Arthur Thomas Arnold Accords Students of the West Virginia Collegiate Institute Liberal Place on the Program—Great Christian Body Practices the Golden Rule. Charleston, W. Va. - At the thirty-third annual convention of the West Virginia Sunday School association, held in this city in May, the teachers and students of the West Virginia Collegiate institute were present in a body. This action was taken by the school upon the invitation of Arthur T. Arnold, the executive secretary of the association. He had invited the school to participate in the general program of the meetings by singing folk songs and the school band marching and playing in both the children's parade and the men's parade. Special seats were reserved for the teachers and students in the First Methodist Episcopal church, where the ARTHUR THOMAS ARNOLD. morning session was held. When they had finished their numbers on the program and the presiding officer attempted to go on with the business of the association, there was one continuous ovation on the part of the audience—so much so that the presiding officer was compelled to ask the students to sing one more selection. The following editorial which appeared in the Charleston Daily Mail, reflects the general opinion of those who were present concerning the part taken by the students: "One of the most distinctive features of the state Sunday school convention now in session in the capital which the delegates will carry away with them will be the musical part, especially the part taken by the young men and young women of the West Virginia Collegiate institute. "This delegation from the foremost colored school for higher education among the colored people of West Virginia came up in a body and occupied special seats provided for them at the First Methodist Episcopal church and on the Gold Coast. Mrs. Randolph in making her report said she has preached over 172 sermons, delivered over 80 missionary addresses, visited over 23 cities and organized over 16 temperance organizations and had secured the signatures of over 748 women of the race in New Jersey, who took the pledge for total abstinence. Mrs. Marie Clinton, wife of Bishop Clinton and general superintendent of the Buds of Promise, told of the work that is being $one by that division. Lincoln Knew Our Worth to the Nation. Abraham Lincoln, in a letter to Michael Hahn in March, 1864, congratulating Mr. Hahn on being the first governor of Louisiana as a free state, suggested that the governor let the colored people in, "as, for instance," said Lincoln, "the very intelligent and especially those who have fought gallantly in our ranks. They would probably help in some trying time to come to keep the jewel of liberty in the family of freedom." Lincoln was right. The colored Americans have ever been loyal to Old Glory, and our soldiers have fought heroically upon many battlefields. at the armory. Music is one of the accomplishments of the colored race. The colored people take to music as a duck takes to water, and it is music too. Strong and rich, sweet and soft; the range is wide enough to take in every requirement and to satisfy every demand of the ear attuned to melody. "And not only to the visitors from all parts of the state was this achievement in harm oya a revelation. Those at home were also on the list of the surprised and joined heartily in the applause and commendation which were given the institute delegation earnestly and without stint. 'Some' singers are those students of the West Virginia Collegiate institute, and the state, which supports the school, has a right to be proud of the showing they made." President Lyrd Prillerman is highly gratified at the uniform courtesy with which the students were treated throughout the entire day's proceedings. The officers of the association and the ushers treated not only the school, but all other visiting members of our race at the sessions with absolute fairness. The occasion really marks an epiph in the history of religious gatherings in the south. Mrs. Elizabeth M. Mitchell, the competent music teacher of the West Virginia Collegiate Institute, deserves much credit for the efficient manner in which the students had been trained for the occasion. Mr. Arthur Thomas Arnold, whose cut is shown in this article, is the general secretary of the West Virginia Sunday School association. He is a young man of high character and standing, who believes in liberty and justice for all the citizens of the state according to law and not according to race or color. Mr. Arnold recognizes the struggles of our race to rise in education, business and Christian character, and he may be depended upon at all times to do the square thing by them whenever he comes in contact with them along any line. The race will always be by such men as Arthur Thomas Arnold. OUR SUCCESS IN MUSIC. ```markdown ``` Benjamin Beawley in a recent article in the Southern Workman has the following to say of the possil litties of the race for advancement in the arts and in music: With reference to the Negro two things are observable. One is that any distinction so far won by a member of the race in America has been almost always in some one of the arts, and the other is that any influence so far exerted by the Negro on American civilization has been primarily in the field of aesthetics. But there is something deeper than the sensuousness of beauty that makes for the possibilities of the Negro in the realm of the arts, and that is the soul of the race. The wall of the old melodies and the plaintive quality that is ever present in the Negro voice are but the reflection of the background of tragedy. No race can rise to the greatest heights of art until it has yearned and suffered. The Russians are a case in point. Such has been their background in oppression and striving that their literature and art today are marked by an unmistakable note of power. The same future beckons to the American Negro. The Negro has great gifts of voice and ear and soul, but so far much of his talent has not soared above the vaudeville stage. This is due most largely, of course, to economic instability. It is the call of patriotism, however, that America should realize that the Negro has peculiar gifts which need all possible cultivation and which will one day add to the glory of the country. Already his music is recognized as the most distinctive that the United States has yet produced. Dodging an Argument.

She was a member of Queen Esther Temple S. M. T, No, 2 and the Household of Ruth No. 776. Working in the church was her greatest delight, being a Stewardess for many years in the Des Moines A. M.E. Church. Fitting resolutions from the Wayman Home Circle, Will ing Workers and-A;-M. E. Choir were ead at the funeral services. Rev. J; I. Holt, Pastor of the A. M.

Thousands Hear Washington Speak Under Auspices of National League. New York.—Following the closing of its workshop for the unemployed and the return of its associate director, Eugene Kinclek Jones from a brief trip south, the National League on Urban Conditions Among Colored People held four big public meetings on Sunday, May 16, three in this city and one in Brooklyn. The speakers were Dr. Booker T. Washington, principal of the Tuskegee (Ala.) institute, and Mayor R. R. Moton, commandant of cadets at the Hampton (Va.) institute and president of the Negro Organization Society of Virginia. The object of these meetings was to more fully acquaint the public with the purpose and work of the league and to show what it has accomplished during the past year. The first of the series of meetings for the day was held at the Union Baptist church in West Sixty-third street, of which the Rev. G. H. Sims is the minister, at 11 a. m. The Rev. Mr. Sims presided and over 2,000 persons were in attendance. Dr. Washington delivered a most helpful and instructive address. The second meeting was held at Palace casino at 1:30 p. m., and was presided over by Borough President Marcus M. Marks, who on introducing Dr. Washington said that race oppression was not an unmixed evil, as it gave a chance for the manhood of the oppressed to exert itself. Mr. Marks also said that he was proud that he was a Jew, in beginning his address Dr. Washington said: "I am mighty glad to hear Mr. Marks say that he is proud of his race. I, too, am proud of my race and wouldn't change places with the whitest man in America, and I don't want to know any man who is ashamed of the race to which he belongs. "Our people in a big northern city like this have their own special problems to solve, just as we have our own problems down south, but you must always remember that we are one race and that what hurts you here hurts us down south and what helps us down there helps you here. One of your greatest problems is that of adjustment. Settle down and get identified with some one place; then build up there reputations for sobriety and industry. If you can't find the right place in the city go to a small town near by or get back to the soil. At any rate, settle down and get hold of some property and start a bank account. You will soon find that your savings are growing and that you are growing faster and bigger than the bank account." The third great meeting was held at the Abysinian Baptist church in West Forthett street, Rev. Dr. A. Clayton Powell minister, at 4 o'clock. This assemblage was held under the auspices of the Young Women's Christian association, and Mrs. E. S. Ransom presided. The fourth and closing meeting was held at the Concord Baptist church, in Brooklyn, and was presided over by the Rev. Dr. William Maurice Moss, minister of the church. Major R. R. Moton made the address introducing Dr. Washington in his usual forceful, happy manner. The audience filled every available space in the auditorium, lecture room and aflees of the church, and the crowd outside extended for nearly a block north and south of the edifice. Dr. Washington delivered a masterly address and was wildly cheered. Dr. Washington said the New York colored man cannot be downed. If he fails today he will rise tomorrow. "This is the best country our race knows. We may curse it sometimes, but we stay here. I do not mean to say that we do not have difficulties to overcome, injustices, oppression and oppression to surmount, but despite these the 10,000,000 of our people have made more progress than any similar people in the world. The colored people of Virginia own one-tenth of all the farming land in that state. They pay taxes on $45,000,000 worth of property. The white man has increased his farming lands 90 per cent and those of the colored man have increased 123 per cent." LIVELY EVENT FOR OHIO PYTHIANS WORK OF LOCAL COMMITTEE Program For Coming Meeting of Noted Secret Order Embraces Many Brilliant Features—State Grand Chancellor Anderson and Lawyer R. B. Barous Assured of Loyal Support. Columbus, O.-As the plans of the supreme lodge entertainment committee unfold themselves it becomes apparent that the entertaining of the supreme lodge, Knights of Pyftias, and encampment, which convenes in this city in August, is to be on a grander scale than ever before attempted. All the subordinate lodges in Ohio are lending every assistance possible, and the state grand lodge, which is to be the host, under the able direction of State Grand Chancellor Anderson, is in constant touch with affairs. The supreme lodge entertainment committee, headed by Attorney Robert B. Barcus, is meeting often for the perfecting arrangements. From partial estimates received from General Robert R. Jackson of the unl- A. E. ROBERT R. RABOUS, MSQ. form rank at Chicago fully 8,000 of the uniform rank will be here to go into camp. The park selected for encampment purposes, according to the plans of the entertainment committee, will be a de luxe edition of the famous Midway Plaisance at the World's fair held in Chicago, so replete will it be with conveniences and amusements for the knights, visiting delegates and friends. One new and fine feature planned for the week will be a night parade, the entire route to be illumined with variegated fire. This parade will be followed by a daylight parade in which 10,000 knights are expected to be in line and for which the entire city, regardless of race or color, will turn out en masse to witness and to applaud. For the great musical entertainment planned the committee is now busily engaged in selecting the best talent to be found in the country, in order to give the visiting knights and delegates a treat perhaps never before enjoyed on so large a scale. The grand military ball, which is to take place in the Memorial hall, Ohio's million dollar edifice, will eclipse anything of the kind ever before attempted by any city entertaining the Knights of Pythias. The hall, grand and splendid in its permanent fittings and decorations, will be enhanced in beauty with a wealth of additional decorations. The tentative draft of the week's program is as follows: Tuesday evening, memorial services, to be held at St. Paul's A. M. E. church for departed knights. On the same evening the great night parade will also be held; Wednesday evening, the musical entertainment for which is being engaged the race's best professional talent in the country; Friday morning, street parade and prize drill; Friday evening, the military ball. In assurance of ample accommodations for all who contemplate attending the meeting of the supreme lodge it can be stated that the committee on hotels and homes has reported accommodations for 1,000 persons at the very beginning of its work. In contradistinction to previous meetings of the supreme lodge, where a single city has assumed the task of entertaining, the entire state of Ohio, in August, will co-operate with the local lodges and citizens of Columbus to entertain, and the white people have indicated that they will vie with the colored citizens to make the meeting an unequal success in every way. This is shown already by the activity on the part of the chamber of commerce in adding the supreme lodge entertainment committee. Official recognition of the meeting, on the part of the state of Ohio, is to be given by Governor Frank B. Willis, the executive who has endearedly himself to the race everywhere by flatly announcing that the "Birth of a Nation" and "The Nigger," two criticised play photos, shall not show in Ohio. He will deliver the welcoming address on behalf of the state. Official recognition of the meeting by the city of Columbus will be given by Mayor George J. Karb. Through the Looking Glass. If you listen to two men discussing eastern races—the Chinese in particular—you will invariably hear them remark with that weighty tone of finality in which people are wont to deliver their obiter dicta; "The Chinaman is an enigma, an insoluble mystery; behind his impenetrable mask there lurks we know not what curious variant of the human race." But does it ever occur to us that in the "barbarian" or "foreign devil" the Chinaman finds a problem of even greater perplexity? The fact that all our books begin at the wrong end and that our lines are printed horizontally instead of vertically is to him overwhelming evidence of the toopay turyness of our minds; that we shake a woman by the hand in, in his eyes, most unseemly, while our dancing, with its lack of dignity and stately grace, suggests to him nothing less than a war dance of savages. The practice of walking with a stick shows us to be in very sooth a most ferocious and uncivilized people, for who would carry a stick save for the purpose of beating innocent folks? -Baltimore Sun. Finding His Bride. In one part of the canton of Ticino, in Switzerland, a very quiet marriage ceremony prevails. The bridegroom dresses in his "Sunday best" and, accompanied by as many friends and relatives as he can muster for the fete, goes to claim his bride. Finding the door locked, he demands admittance. The inmates ask him his business, and in reply he solicits the hand of his chosen maiden. If his answer be deemed satisfactory he is successively introduced to a number of matrons and maids, some perhaps deformed and others old and ugly. Then he is presented to some large dolls, all of which he rejects with scorn, amid general merriment. The bewildered bridegroom, whose impetuosity and temper are now sorely tried, is then informed that his ladylove is absent and is invited in to see for himself. He rushes into the house and searches from room to room until he finds her in her bridal dress ready to go to church. Then are his troubles over and his state as a benedict assured. How a Zennalin Is Made The building of a Zeppelin is not the work of a day. The mere work on the vessel takes an entire year, and when that work is done another three months must be spent in testing. Stretched on a framework of girders there are from seventeen to twenty-five balloonettes from end to end. Over these and over the girders is an outer skin of proofed canvas. Slung under the great length is a series of cabins. Right in front is the station of the lookout man, who is in charge of the starting and the landing. He has anchors slung beneath him. In the first boat, which is entirely covered in, are two petrol engines. Behind this boat is the gangway, fitted up with sleeping berths for the crew. In the center is the observation station. It is from here that the bombs are dropped, and it is in here that the marvelous steering and sighting apparatus is installed, as well as the wireless plant—St Louis Republic. Swine In Old London We hear much today of the dangers of the London streets, but the inhabitants are spared some of the perils of an earlier age. The calendar of corners' rolls for the city tells how the many swine wandering about the streets were once London's greatest nuisances. In 1522 an inquest was held on a child who was attacked in her cradle by a pig which had wandered in through the open door of her parents' shop. And a little earlier letters patent were issued to an infant who lost an ear from the same cause. The letters certified the cause of the accident, lest later on the uncharitable should say that the ear had been cut off in the pillory by the knife of the law.-London Spectator. A Long Popular Vegetable. Asparagus has evidently been known during a considerable period, for it figures in the title of a seventeenth century play. Richard Brome, who started life as a domestic servant and in that capacity had Ben Jonson for a master, became a popular dramatist, and one of the most successful of his comedies was "The Sparagus Garden." acted, according to the title page of the edition published in 1640, "by the Company of Revels at Sallisbury Court." One of the characters in this play expresses a wish to have "sparagus at every meal all the yeare long."—London Globe. Real Public Spirit. "Is old Millionbuck usually regarded as a public sulted citizenT" "Oh, decidedly!

Their Habits and Customs Vividly Described by Dr. W. H. Sheppard. Everyday life in the Belgian Kongo was graphically described by Dr. William H. Sheppard of Louisville, Ky., at a recent Sunday evening chapel service at the Hampton (Va.) institute, Dr. Sheppard, who became some years ago a fellow of the Royal Geographical society on account of his African explorations and studies, told the Hampton workers and students about his early experiences as a missionary. In March, 1890, the son of Judge Lapsley, a young white man of Alabama, and Dr. Sheppard made their way into the Kongo region and after many difficulties reached the Kassai river, known to the natives as the "river of spirits" on account of the number of people annually taken by the crocodiles. Dr. Sheppard said: When Mr. Lapsley was lying in the canes sick with the fever some natives came forward with spears and were going to attack him. The natives faced the hostile people to save the life of the young southerner, who was afterward known among the natives as the tenderer, because of his ability to find his way through the country and into the hearts of the natives. After the death of Mr. Lapsley I continued my missionary work by establishing a Sunday school and bringing Christ's message to the people of the interior. The African natives who live under the cruel hand of superstition are to be spared from the touch of a teaching hand, the snake crossing the trail, the hooting of the owl in the jungle are all signs of some unforeseen danger. Going on a journey if there was a tree in the path a crowd went around it on the same side, not allowing it to part them. A man going on a journey, if he stubbed his toe, would never go on; he would stop and spit in the place and go back home. He would not be forced to put one hand in boiling water three times. If the hand is not scalded he is considered innocent. We watched a man who had been accused plunge his arm in up to the elbow—one, two, three times. The skin began to pest off. He was called guilty and was taken to the court. The accused came before the witch doctors. They put pepper in the girls' eyes and hold it tight with a copper wire and say, "If you are not guilty it will not burn you." I have seen a girl going around with sick and swollen eyes who, in the middle of the witch guilty. The day of the witch doctor is passing in Central Africa. The natives are learning that Christian doctors and teachers can help them more than the witch doctors. Christianity is taking possession of the heart which the natives. The heart is the which we here describe in detail the economic and social life of the natives. In spite of the fact that his life was nearly taken because he dared to reveal the atrocities committed in the Belgian Kongo by the officers of King Leopold, Dr. Sheppard has been most willing to give all that he can afford to help the Belgians in their dire distress. Dr. Sheppard made clear that the murder of people in the Kongo, where rubber, is such an important commodity, was not sanctioned by the Belgians. "The African colony known as the Belgian Kongo was the private property of King Leopold. There are many people in Belgium who knew nothing at all about King Leopold's officers cutting off the hands and ears of natives who failed to gather the quantity of rubber expected of them. "The Master has given me the heart and spirit of Hampton," said Dr. Sheppard in conclusion. "I would not hate any man." Send Your Subscription --- Jno. L.

No one has an opportunity of learning the characteristics of individuals more than the publisher of a race paper, and no one has more varied and peculiar experiences. There are those who will pay the subscription as regularly and as promptly as it is due without delay or hesitation, just as they would any other debt. This is the desirable and welcome subscriber. There is another class who subscribe as willingly and will pay the subscription at that time, but it is almost impossible to collect it again, for it is almost impossible to find the individuals as they move from place to place so frequently. Then there is the responsible subscriber who feels that he is good for the subscription but never pays unless a personal demand is made upon him for it. This may ease his conscience, but it is almost as difficult to collect his subscription when it is needed most, as it is to collect from the man who is not responsible. Then there is the subscriber who imagines that every one pays his subscriptions except himself and that the publisher is well to do and does not need the money. He keeps the money in his pocket until it is thawed out by first one process and then another. Some subscribers never intend to pay and by first one subterfuge or another avoid payment until the publisher in self-defense must stop the paper and collect the subscription by legal process when this is possible. Really the subscribers to race papers should feel a deeper interest in their success and adopt the habit of paying for them promptly, and in that way may lighten the burdens of the publisher and insure better and more regular publication of the paper.—Kansas City Sun. MANY NEGRO DOLLS BEING SENT OUT. Nashville, Tenn.—An announcement was made by the National Negro Doll Company that their rush season, which it usually has during the Christmas, is just now on. This is occasioned, declares the manager of the company, on account of the delay in the importation of material from which these dolls are made. The ship was caught and held as a prize of war and was only recently released, hence, the material did not reach Nashville until Christmas day. But the people, says the manager, were so determined to have the size doll they wanted that they all replied "We will wait to get the big dolls." While hundreds of small dolls were sent out, the manager declares that it was surprising to note that the people wanted the dolls ranging in sizes from SEVENTEEN to THIRTY-SIX inches. The orders are being sent out rapidly. Many of the churches have sent in orders for dolls that they might conduct their bazaars. Dolls will be shipped throughout the year, declares the manager of the Doll Company, as we are ready to fill orders as they come. Considerate. "That young Gadsby is an amiable fellow." "Yes; he has to be amiable to counteract the irritating effect of the clothes he wears."—Birmingham Age-Herald. STAR "ADS"—BRING RESULTS VIEWS OF BISHOP FALLOWS. What the Noted Prelate Says About the Coming Chicago Exposition. Chicago.—In connection with the large exposition to be held in this city at the Coliseum from Aug. 22 to Sept. 16, will be held the Abraham Lincoln jubilee celebration, at which hundreds of relics of the martyred president will be shown and tribute paid to the memory of the great humanitarian. The exposition will be unique, says Bishop Samuel Fallows, state commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, and president of the exposition. Nothing like it has ever before been done or even attempted. The exposition will mark fifty years of freedom for the colored race in America. Assurance that President Wilson will be present was made to Bishop Fallows in a message from Washington which stated that Mr. Wilson will attend if no unforeseen governmental complications arise to prevent. Governor Edward F. Dunne of Illinois is the president, ex-officio. State Senator John Dalley of Peoria is vice president. Among the honorary vice presidents are Miss Jane Addams, Governor Baldwin of Connecticut, Governor Bass of New Hampshire, Judge Theodore Brentano, Andrew Carnegie, Thomas H. Cannon, head of the Catholic Order of PETER H. BURKE TROMAS WALLACE SWANN Foresters, Chicago; former Governor Charles S. Deneen, Cardinal James Gibbons, Governor Whitman of New York and Mrs. Ella Flagg Young. Twelve distinct departments have been created for the exposition, and in them will be shown exhibits from nearly every state in which the negro is a part of the population. These departments are religion, education, industry, social progress, music, sociology, military, liberal arts, professional, fraternal, athletics and miscellaneous. Nineteen state legislatures have either passed or have before them bills providing appropriations to establish state exhibits. Hundreds of letters approving the purpose of the exposition have been received, representing every race and religion, every profession and business and social activity in America. The exhibits of the progress of the colored man since his emancipation from slavery will be many and various. Each of the 400 colored schools and colleges in the United States will be represented. The best of 3,000 patents granted to colored men by the federal government will, by special arrangement, be brought to Chicago to show in the Coliseum. The government of Liberia, Africa, made up originally of freed slaves from America, will send an exhibit, and Professor Frederick Starr of the University of Chicago has been appointed their official representative by the Liberian government. The Roman Catholic exhibit will be a feature of the exposition, including, besides paintings and sculpture, many relics of the Negro in his relation to the church. There are more than 2,000,000 Negroes engaged in agricultural pursuits, and 78 per cent of them are in the southern states. More than 28 per cent of the total number of farmers in the south in 1910 were Negroes and 12 per cent of the total farm acreage was operated by them. The Negro has produced 6,000 books and per'odicals, nearly 7,000 songs and musical compositions. The Hon. Thomas Wallace Swann is secretary of the commission, having charge of the celebration. Growth of the Mayesville (S.C.) School. The Mayesville Industrial school at Mayesville, S. C., was founded many years ago by Miss Emma Wilson. It is doing a most commendable work among the people of that section of the state. The school was started in an old abandoned cotton gin house without any furnishings. Ten children of the neighborhood formed the first group of students. It has grown from a very small school to one of the largest and best managed of its kind in South Carolina. Miss Wilson is still at the head of the work and tells a most thrilling story of her struggles to maintain the institution during the early years of its existence. Many good white people, north and south, contribute to its support. Some Features of the June Crisis. The June issue of the Crisis Magazine is called the Great Northwest number. It bristles with much interesting and instructive reading matter. The "Men of the Month" section is illustrated from photographs of persons who have won distinction in their line. Each month brings new friends to this militant race publication, "which has come to the kingdom for such a time as this." Milady's Mirror Avoid Nervous Grimacing. A great destroyer of beauty lines in the face is the nervous twisting of the lips and grimaces. Many women are guilty of these when talking. They are unbecoming habits and are the means of developing many ugly lines and wrinkles that prematurely age one. THE MORAL PHASE OF LIFE Home Training I Says Miss Nannie The moral phase problem is the most the whole aggravation improve the standard masses is the only. As with other races in the homes are set who preside over a rehood of the race how to instruct the those virtues, that Time, worry and habit are three things that line the forehead with furrows and bring a sagging condition of the muscles, especially affecting the muscles under the chin. When these muscles lose their elasticity the result is the unlightly double chin. The reason that furrows (wrinkles) make their appearance on the countenance of an aged person is due to the fact that the fat underlying the skin becomes absorbed. Consequently the cuticle loosens and becomes wrinkled. To remedy this condition gently massage these parts with good skin food; then before retiring adjust a forehead band which has been amputated with skin food. This should be worn each night. Sagging cheek muscles may be strengthened and contracted with massage and an astringent lotion and, as has been said before, tightly bound up overnight with a band—either muslin or rubber. In regard to premature wrinkles caused by worry or habits, they should not only be treated with massage, as previously directed, but one should learn to control the muscles to obtain a calm and pleasant expression, which is a great aid to beauty. A Graceful Figure. Quite often the figure of a pretty girl is spolit by stooping shoulders, a contracted chest or a careless, slouching gait. Yet by devoting a little spare time every day to some physical exercises these evils may be overcome. Many and various are the forms of callisthenics. The daily use of dumbbells will strengthen all the muscles of the arms and chest and at the same time promote a free circulation of the blood. Then there is the expander. This is formed of a strip of the very strongest kind of elastic, with loops or hanles at each end to hold. It can easily be made at home. It should be held in both hands and be slowly expanded and passed over the head. This tends to develop the chest and strengthen the back. Exercises of this sort should be performed regularly every day, and they must be done steadily, slowly and firmly. Dress for any form of muscular exercise should be light, flexible and woolen. No corsets should be worn, and the bodice and underclothing must be large enough to allow perfect freedom of the arms. The Hands In Cold Weather To preserve the hands in good condition in cold weather they should, whenever possible, be washed in tepid water, and if this is softened by a teaspoonful of borax so much the better. Be sure to use a soap of good quality, and when drying the hands take the precaution of rubbing each finger separately. If the hands are rubbed over once a day with a slice of lemon and a little cold cream or if mutton tallow is rubbed into them thoroughly before going to bed at night there will be little danger of the skin becoming chapped or rough. Chapped hands are almost always caused by insufficient drying after washing or perhaps the water was icy cold and very hard or used too hot. Both extremes are bad for the skin. Tonic For the Hands. An excellent tonic astringent and bleach for the hands is made from one ounce of strained honey, one ounce of lemon juice and one ounce of cologne. Blend thoroughly and rub into the hands at night, then draw on a pair of large kid gloves, having the palms slit for ventilation. Wash off in tepid water in the morning. Where a woman does her own housework or assists with it to the extent of coming in contact with grime and grease, hot and cold water, the lemon rub after washing the hands will tend to keep them in good condition. With rubber gloves to wear when housework is done it is possible to shield the hands from strong soap, varying temperatures of water and direct contact with dirt which coarsens the texture of the skin. Beautiful Gray Hair. Once gray hair is an accomplished fact and not merely a threat, its possessor soon begins to realize its beauty. It should be frequently shampooed so that it is even in color and smooth in texture, and it should be brushed carefully and regularly and often indulged in sun and air baths. Gray hair will be of a more uniform shade if borax is put in the water in which it is washed, and if the hair is an ugly yellowish gray or white a little blueing will remove the offensive tinge. Of course gray hair must be carefully dressed, and the best effects are got when it is slightly undulated and then dressed high on the head or rolled off the ears and brow and into a soft French twist at the back. THE MORAL PHASE OF NEGRO LIFE. Home Training Most Important. Says Miss Nannie H. Burroughs. The moral phase of the Negro problem is the most serious part of the whole aggravating question. To improve the standard of the life of the masses is the only solution. As with other races, the standards in the homes are set up by the women who preside over them. Therefore to bring about a reform the womanhood of the race must be taught how to instruct their children in those virtues, that have made the most advanced races what they are. We are prone to think that the Negro is by nature religious and therefore moral. He is both; but he is not enough of either when it comes to living up to fundamental principles every day life. Because of his crude conception of what the Christian religion really is he too often practices one thing and preaches another. Often the foremost woman in the church is so far from a model for her less ambitious sisters that they look with contempt upon her and discredit religion. This misrepresentation of the genuine article takes many forms and sometimes the one woman is a combination of all. She allows beer drinking, card playing, and ragtime music in her home. She is loose in her conversation. Her language is often smutty. Her demeanor becomes a woman of the street. Her home is a hangout, for "sliding elders" and loafing, hungry preachers. Her house is poorly kept. Her children are too young to be men and women and too old to be children. They are theregore the freshest things in the neighborhood. They run the church. They sit in the front heat, chew gum, talk and keep their "gang" giggling. To speak to them is to throw a match into a magazine of powder. These wise and talented youngsters of the leading sisters, get into the choir and start trouble for the choristers. They get religion and start trouble for the deacons. These children of too many of those who aspire to leadership in our local churches presume too much on the standing and influence of their mothers and give our churches all kinds of trouble. What we need is a new type of women in our homes as mothers, and a new type of women in our churches as leaders and examples for the young. The wig wearing, gum chewing, beer smelling, mouth running, street trotting, home neglecting, convention fever type of women are out of style, and from them may we soon be delivered. The struggle for today, is not altogether for today; it is for a vast future.—Abraham Lincoln. SIX REASONS WHY I SHOULD JOIN THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF COL- ORED PEOPLE. 1. It teaches that race prejudice is the most evil thing in the world today and that "Jim Crow" cars, race segregation, anti-intermarriage laws and all other manifestations of it are unchristian and cruel efforts of the stronger to oppress the weaker. 2. It combats in the courts, state legislatures, the Halls of Congress, the government departments and everywhere the spirit of persecution against the Colored People which grows out of race prejudice. 3. It aims to bring about such a healthy public sentiment in this land that Colored People will be accorded all their social, civil and political rights and will receive exact justice in all the relations of life. 4. It believes in and teaches the doctrine of the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man, and the equality of all races in our American civilization. 5. It aims to uphold the honor of our women by opposing the passage of anti-race inter-marriage laws. 6. It is composed of members of both races and sexes on terms of complete equality and as brothers and sisters in this holy cause of freedom. "Feed a man correctly, give him foods that digest and are normally assimilated and ordinarily he is ready to meet the difficulties and problems of life with a smile. He is optimistic, cheerful, but that same man if suffering from indigestion has such depressed spirits that he is thrown into gloomy forebodings and the whole world seems awry. Our cooks, as well as our ministers, have something to do with rolling this world a little nearer heaven."—Snyder. "Weep, and you're called a baby, Laugh, and you're called a fool; Yield, and you're called a coward, Stand, and you're called a mule; Smile, and they'll call you silly, Frown, and they'll call you gruff; Put on a front like a millionaire, And somebody'll call your bluff." —Exchange.
