"GRANDFATHER" CLAUSE KILLED UPHOLDS WAR AMENDMENT. State Laws Basing Right of Persons to Vote on Right of Their Ancestors to Vote Before Enactment of Fifteenth Amendment Are Illegal, Says Chief Justice White. Washington—Chief Justice White in handing down an opinion for the United States supreme court on Monday, June 21, dealt a deathblow to the "grandfather clause," which is effective in a number of southern states in disfranchising the colored citizens. The court sustained in its opinion in the Oklahoma and Maryland cases the fifteenth amendment, prohibiting discrimination against colored people, and the Oklahoma and Maryland laws barring them from the polls because their ancestors could not vote prior to Jan. 1, 1860, were declared void by the decision. The Oklahoma law was modeled after the North Carolina and Mississippi laws which disfranchise many thousands of colored men who are entitled to the elective franchise. The opinion of Chief Justice White declares that state laws basing the right of persons to vote on the right of their ancestors to vote before the fifteenth amendment was passed are illegal, unconstitutional and inoperative. The court held that states may prescribe literacy and property qualification tests for voters, but they must not be used as a subterfuge, as in Oklahoma and Maryland, to prevent the Negro from voting. Frank J. Guinn and J. J. Beal, Oklahoma election officers, were convicted of preventing Negroes from voting in the 1910 congressional election and sentenced to imprisonment for a year and to pay a fine of $100. They appealed to the appellate court at St. Louis, which passed the case along to the supreme court of the United States without trying it. The constitution of Oklahoma, upon which that territory was admitted to the Union as a state, gave something very like manhood suffrage. But prior to the elections of 1910 an amendment was adopted severely restricting the franchise. The amendment reads in part as follows: "No person shall be registered as an elector of this state or be allowed to vote in any election herein unless he be able to read and write any section of the constitution of the state of Oklahoma; but no person who was on Jan. 1, 1866, or at any time prior thereto, entitled to vote under any form of government, or who at that time resided in some foreign nation, and no linear descendant of such person, shall be denied the right to register and vote because of his inability to so read and write sections of such constitution." The government insisted that the "real question involved is the repugnancy of the standard which the amendment makes, based upon the conditions existing on Jan. 1, 1866, because on its face and inherently considering the substance of things that standard is a mere denial of the restrictions imposed by the prohibitions of the Fifteenth amendment and by necessary result recreates and perpetuates the very conditions which the amendment was intended to destroy." Chief Justice White says: "There seems no escape from the conclusion that to hold that there was even possibility for dispute on the subject would be but to declare that the Fifteenth amendment not only had not the self executing power which it has been recognized to have from the beginning, but that its provisions were wholly imperative because susceptible of being rendered inapplicable by mere forms of expression embodying no exercise of judgment and resting upon no discernible reason other than the purpose to disregard the prohibitions of the amendment by creating a standard of voting which on its face was in substance but a revitalization of the conditions which, when they prevailed in the past, had been destroyed by the self operative force of the amendment. "We are unable to discover how, unless the prohibition of the Fifteenth amendment were considered, the slightest reason was afforded for basing the classification upon a period of time prior to the Fifteenth amendment. Certainly it cannot be said that there was any peculiar necromancy in the time named which engendered attributes affecting the qualification to vote which would not exist at another and different period unless the Fifteenth amendment were in view." The court held that Oklahoma had not meant to provide a literacy test for its voters if the restriction as to those qualified to vote in 1866 was illegal, and hence struck down that test, although stating that, standing alone, such a test is constitutional. The reading test was stricken out along with the grandfather clause. Chief Justice White said the plain meaning of the Oklahoma constitution was that the reading test should not be used to disqualify lineal descendants of voters prior to 1866. As this would be accomplished in many cases by continuing the reading test without the offensive exemptions, the whole provision was killed. PROMOTER OF BUSINESS. Charles H. Moore Begins Work of Vigil- ing and Organizing Leagues. Ring and Organizing Leagues. On Wednesday, June 16, Professor Charles H. Moore, formerly organizer of the National Negro Business league, began an itinerary through Virginia, the District of Columbia, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island, in the interest of the forthcoming meeting of the National Negro Business league, to be held in Boston, Aug. 18, 19 and 20, inclusive. It is Professor Moore's purpose to meet local Negro business leagues in all of the important cities in the states here mentioned and otherwise to devote himself to propaganda work in the interest of the league until the August meeting. WILBERFORCE UNIVERSITY MAKES GREAT PROGRESS. Authorized as One of Ohio's Institutions For Training Teachers. The combined normal and industrial department of the Wilberforce (O.) university has been placed on the approved list of state normal schools. This announcement was made recently after an inspection by Mr. Williams from the office of the state superintendent of instruction. This result is one which the C. N. and I. department, under Superintendent William A. Joiner, has been working for a number of years. The course was formerly too short to place the school on the accredited list, but it was finally brought up to the required standard. Graduates of the normal department are now entitled to four years' provisional certificate without examination, and after twenty-four months of successful teaching they are entitled to a life certificate good in thirty-five states. Now that the state department of public instruction has given this department full recognition as one of the state's authorized institutions for training teachers, the legislature of Ohio has determined to properly equip the normal and industrial department for its work. The legislature, which recently adjourned its session, made liberal appropriations for this department of work at Wilberforce. There will be erected shops, a building, a gymnasium, water system, hospital and a recitation building. These additional buildings will make. Wilberforce one of the best equipped plants among the institutions for Negro youths. In the past five years the normal and vocational work at Wilberforce university has been greatly strengthened under an increased faculty, and the work will be kept up to the standard. This institution also has the distinction of being the only Negro institution with a military department under direct charge of the United States government. Lieutenant Benjamin O. Davis of the famous Tenth United States cavalry is military instructor. The normal and industrial department is under Superintendent William A. Joiner, formerly director of the teachers' training school of Howard university, Washington Professor Joiner is doing a splendid work at Wilberforce university. He is a man well qualified for the position which he holds. Might Go Further. "She paints her eyebrows." "Well, she has to draw the line some where."—Columbia Jester. TUSKEGEE PROUD OF BRIDGEFORTH WORK BENEFITS THE MASSES Blessed With Special Training For His Chosen Profession, Head of Important Department of Institution Says He is Only Humble Worker Holding Up Principal's Hands. Tuskegee, Ala.—One of the most important departments at Tuskegee institute and of which Dr. Booker T. Washington is proud is the department of agriculture, which, like the other departments, has an expert at the head, a man with experience, training and ability. These qualities are possessed by Professor George R. Bridgeford, whose early life was spent in Athens, in the northern part of the state and in Limestone county. He is yet a young man. His first graduation was from Trinity school in 1894, then at Talladega college, where he graduated in 1897, but he felt that he was not yet prepared for his chosen line, so he took a course at the Massachusetts Agricultural college, finishing in 1901. Having finished his training, the next thing was to work. He accepted a position with the late William H. Council at Normal, Ala., where he remained one year, after which he accepted a position with Dr. Booker T. Washington in the agricultural department. Of course he was not at the head, but one of the instructors and workers. This was thirteen years ago. He con- GEORGE R. BRIDGEFORTH. vinced Dr. Washington and those around the school that he understood the business. Merit wins in Tuskegee. So when there was a vacancy at the head of the department Dr. Washington decided that he had the right man there. So six years ago Mr. Bridgeforth was placed at the head and has been conducting the work of the department ever since. Like other heads of departments, he has tried to make improvements and has been indeed successful. In the department now are to be found eighteen instructors, with a complete outfit for teaching from 300 to 500 students both theoretical and practical agriculture. It should be of interest to know that there are 850 students studying agriculture. This young man has not alone been devoting his time to the students, but he has been of help to the farmers by conducting what is known as farmers' short courses and movable schools for Macon county as well as other counties in the state. He has contributed toward the improvement of the village around Tuskegee, and through his efforts two land companies have been organized—the Southern Small Land company and the Tuskegee Farm and Improvement company. He is president of the former and vice president of the latter. It is of interest to know that this department does $135,000 worth of business every year. With the new agricultural building and the veterinary hospital, recently donated, there is a new scanning factory, a cold storage, barns put in the agricultural campus, a 1,000 acre farm, a truck garden of forty acres, an orchard of 100 acres and live stock consisting of 600 hogs, 125 horses and mules and 150 cattle. READ THE STAR-ITS NEWS MEDICAL ASSOCIATION TO MEET IN CHICAGO, AUG. 24. Large Attendance Expected at Annual Meeting of National Body. The sixteenth annual meeting of the National Medical association will be held in Chicago from Aug. 24 to 26 inclusive. The local committee of arrangements, headed by Dr. U. G Dalley, is making extensive preparations for entertaining the members of the association. The usual number of papers, embracing every phase of medicine, surgery, dentistry and pharmacy, will be given a prominent place on the program, as in former years, but the outstanding feature of this convention will be the large number of clinics which will be held during the session. Chicago has unusual facilities for clinical demonstrations of all kinds, and the local committee has been alive to the opportunities that may be seized for the benefit of visiting doctors. The larger portion of the surgical clinics will be held at Cook County hospital, which has been recently completed. Others will be held at the St. Luke's hospital and Provident hospital. Arrangements have also been made for special clinics covering diseases of the eye, ear, nose, throat, children's diseases and women's diseases. Men who are located in the more remote sections of the country will witness here operations and demonstrations that they have seldom if ever been permitted to witness before, and the local committee and the officers of the association are particularly anxious that the rural general practitioner shall avail himself of the opportunity to be present at Chicago for these wonderful demonstrations of medical, surgical and dental research and progress. The headquarters of the local committee will be in the Y. M. C. A. building, and some of the sessions will be held there. There will, as usual, be public meetings on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, and the session will close on Thursday evening, Aug. 26, with a banquet. Some of the more prominent men connected with the association will perform many difficult and rare operations, and the association as a whole will be invited to clinics conducted by Murphy, Schrader and Ochsner. These men stand at the forefront of surgical progress, and to be able to witness operations performed by them and to observe the technic that they have perfected will be of invaluable assistance to every one who visits these clinics. Special rates will prevail on all the roads entering Chicago. Many from all sections of the country have already indicated their intention of being present. Those who are unacquainted with the city and expect to be there should communicate with the chairman of the local committee, Dr. U. G. Dalley, 5 East Thirty-sixth place. Chicago. The Naked Truth. An old fable says that Truth and Falsehood went in bathing together. Falsehood came first out of the water and dressed herself in Truth's garments. Truth, unwilling to put on Falsehood's clothes, went naked. Howard Smith Performs Noble Deed. Howard Smith of Camden, N.J., at the risk of his own life, recently dived overboard and saved the life of a horse by releasing the animal from a wagon to which it was attached. Smith is employed by Charles I. Adkins, a contracting teamster of 434 Division street, Camden. He went to the Spruce street wharf with a dump cart, which was backed to the water's edge, and before he could block the wheel of the vehicle it went overboard, taking the horse with it. Losing no time, Smith dived overboard and finally released the traces, and horse and master arose to the surface. Smith managed to climb back on the wharf, while the horse floundered about on the surface of the water, and after some difficulty the animal was landed on the wharf. Thus again a member of our race in New Jersey performs a noble deed. Needs of the Wilberforce University. As an institution of higher learning for our people Wilberforce university, in Ohio, is living up to the ideals of its founders and supporters. The progress of the school under the leadership of Dr. William S. Scarborough the past few years has been wonderful. The institution is in need of an endowment of at least $300,000. This amount is not large in comparison to the amount of endowment held by some of the great institutions of learning in our country. No doubt the trustees, with the president, will bend their energies in this direction during the vacation period this year. BUSINESS MEN PLAN BIG MEET League Convention In Boston Assured of Success. In Every Line of Endeavor Negroes Have Made Splendid Progress in Fifteen Years of National Negro Business League's History—Many Bodies Will Assemble in August. The fifteenth anniversary of the founding of the National Negro Business league will be celebrated at Boston on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, Aug. 18, 19 and 20, 1915. The Boston local Negro Business league, as well as the local Negro Business League of Cambridge, is hard at work perfecting arrangements for the reception and entertainment of the delegates who are planning to be present. Aside from the regular business sessions of the league, the social side of the convention will not be neglected. A guarantee fund has already been secured for the purpose of financing every feature of the entertainment and reception of the delegates. Historic Boston, with its many traditions intimately connected with the life and history of the Negro people, and particularly with the movement which led to their freedom and enfranchisement, is a mecca toward which our race should from time to time turn. It was in Boston that the first meeting of the league was held Aug. 23 and 24, 1900, and in holding the meeting there this year it will fittingly celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of the founding of the league, afford an opportunity for "taking stock"—an inventory, as it were—of racial progress and development since the organization of the league, and, fortified by the accumulated knowledge and experiences of these years, the business men and women of the race may face the future with greater inspiration and a firmer grasp of the complex problems of modern business. In 1900, when the National Negro Business league was organized, there were about 20,000 Negro business enterprises; now there are 45,000. In 1900 there were two Negro banks; now there are 51. In 1900 Negroes were running 250 drug stores; now they have 695. In 1900 there were 450 undertaking businesses operated by Negroes; now there are about 1,000. In 1900 there were 149 Negro merchants engaged in wholesale business; now there are 240. In 1900, fifteen years ago, there were 10,000 Negro retail merchants; now there are 25,000. In the fifteen years since the National Negro Business league was organized farm property owned by Negroes has made a remarkable increase. From 1900 to 1910 the value of domestic animals owned by Negro farmers increased from $85,219,337 to $177,273,785, or 107 per cent; poultry from $3,788,792 to $5,113,756, or 36 per cent; implements and machinery from $18,586,225 to $36,861,418, or 98 per cent; land and buildings from $69,636,420 to $273,501,665, or 293 per cent. In ten years the total value of farm property owned by Negroes increased from $177,404,688 to $492,892,218, or 177 per cent. Arrangements are already being made for the comfort of delegates who intend to attend the meetings. A National Negro Business league special train, which will carry delegates from the far south to the Boston meeting, is already being planned for and, in addition, arrangements will also be made for the friends from the west, with Chicago as the center, to make the trip to Boston in a body. Further details with reference to these arrangements will be published shortly. The officers of the affiliated organizations of the National Negro Business league, including the National Negro Press association, the National Negro Bankers' association, the National Negro Funeral Directors' association, the National Negro Bar association and the National Association of Negro Insurance Men, are each individually planning their several programs so as to add interest and to make them constructively worth while. Further information as to detailed plans for the coming meeting, etc., may be secured from Booker T. Washington, president; J. C. Napler, chairman executive committee, or from Emmett J. Scott, secretary, Tuskegee institute, Alabama. No. 30 HOWARD'S HONOR GRADUATES RECEIVE THEIR DEGREES. Many Students Complete Course at University In Washington.

OLD Christ church, the historic and sacred edifice in Philadelphia where three-fourths of the signers of the Declaration of Independence worshiped, commemorates the nation's birthday every year with impressive patriotic and religious services. Representatives of the Lutheran, Presbyterian and Episcopalian churches, the religious bodies that were active in the life of Philadelphia when independence was declared, generally participate in the services. Last year the services took the form of a prayer and thanksgiving to Almighty God for the blessing of civil and religious liberty. Addresses were made by Bishop Garland, representing the Episcopal church; the Rev. Dr. William H. Roberts of the Presbyterian general assembly and the Rev. Dr. Edwin Heyl Delk of the Lutheran church. The services were conducted by the Rev. Louis C. Washburn, rector of Old Christ church. The order of service was the one adopted in 1785 by the church to be used every year on the Fourth of July. The service was attended by representatives of President Wilson, Mayor Blankenburg, the Colonial Dames, the Sons of the Revolution and of the Pine Street Presbyterian church, whose pastor, Dr. Duffield, like Dr. White, rector of Old Christ church, was a chaplain of the First Continental congress. The clergy of the diocese in their vestments, with the other guests, met in the Neighborhood House and proceeded into the church while the historic THE CHURCH OF THE NATIONAL SCHOOL OF MEDICINE bells of Old Christ church were ringing as they did in 1776. The entire church was filled with persons who worshiped in the same pews where knelt the churchmen and patriots of the Continental congress. Bishop Garland, at the conclusion of his address, read the following poem, written by him for the occasion: INDEPENDENCE DAY. Lord, in thy house this sacred day We kneel where patriots knelt to pray; They pledged anew their faith in thee, Then took up arms for liberty. Not in their strength, but in thy might, They trusted to defend the right, And thou didst guide them by thy hand And 'stabilised firm our fatherland. God of the patriots, be our guide; Protect this land for which they died; Give us our fathers' faith in thee To live for truth and liberty.

Strange, fantastic, beautiful and wonderful things are imprisoned by the fireworks experts in the dull pasteboard cases that cover their magical compounds, as the fisherman's flask of Arabian tradition held the mighty Arft. The fiery dragons, clouds of light, meteoric blazonry of stars, dazzling streamers and coronations of effulgence that fill the air are so many ministers of delight to millions on every Independence day, bringing weird and startling sensations with every fresh glimpse of swiftly fading beauty and glory. WOMEN'S PART IN INDEPENDENCE DAY WOMEN'S PART IN INDEPENDENCE DAY They Had Glorious Share In Winning American Liberty. IT has been said that in every woman's breast there lies the possibility of great heroism. What she can do when put to the test is amply illustrated by the events of history, not alone in our own country, but in all others. Anecdotes of women of the Revolution, showing what they did and what they suffered in so doing, happy in the thought that they were serving the country they loved, are positively thrilling. One wonders how many young women of today would offer themselves to carry a message from one army to another across a country fairly bristling with hostile troops when not a man could be found intrepid enough to take a letter from General Greene to General Sumter. Emily Geiger, a frail young girl, undertook the task and set out on horseback on a sidesaddle. She was intercepted on the second day of her journey by Lord Rawdon, who had her locked up until a Tory matron could be found to search her person. ```markdown ``` ONE OF COLUMBIA'S DAUGHTERS. By this unusual consideration Lord Rawdon lost his coveted information, for as soon as his back was turned she ate the letter, bit by bit! When eventually released she succeeded in reaching her destination, where she was able to give her message orally, if not in true military and documentary style. In consequence Sumter soon joined Greene's army. Emily later married a wealthy planter. The fascinations of women have seldom been used to better advantage than upon a certain afternoon shortly after the retreat from New York, when a troop of British soldiers were detained at the house of a Mrs. Murray, who gave them cake and wine and such sprightly talk that they remained two hours—just long enough to allow General Putnam, the last to leave the city, to make retreat across the dangerous highroad on which the Britishers were lottering. Think of the excitement of this little Quaker when she realized that by her subterfuge she had saved a part of the American army! There is no doubt that we owe our present wealth and ease to the courage and resourcefulness of the early American woman quite as much as to the efforts of the men. She was the mother of those great men whose intellects were the backbone of the American nation. It was her sacrifice and nobility that made it possible for them to be what they were. Their lives are her eternal panegyric; their works the undying proclamation of her power. FROM A JULY 4 SPEECH BY PRESIDENT WILSON. Every patriotic American is a man who is not niggardly and selfish in the things he needs that make for human liberty and the rights of man, but wants to share it with the whole world. And he is never so proud of the great flag as when it means for other people as well as himself the symbol of liberty and freedom. I would be ashamed of this flag if it ever did anything outside of America that we would not permit it to do inside of America. We stand for the mass of the men, women and children who make up the vitality of every nation. The world is becoming more complicated every day. Therefore no man ought to be foolish enough to think he understands it, and that is the reason why I am so glad to know there are some simple things in the world. One of those simple things is principle. Honesty is a perfectly simple thing.—Woodrow Wilson. TWIN CITY STAR In Angela's Garden THE facts that Angela's flower garden occupied less than four square feet of space and consisted of nothing more than some wooden boxes fastened to the fire escape at the library window made her none the less enthusiastic about it. Every morning at 7 she was on the fire escape in her pale blue bonnet attending to her posies, paying especial attention to the washing of the pansies' faces. On the morning of the Fourth of July Angela opened the window a little earlier than usual. The noises around had awakened her. As she was executing the last movement of A. A. VANDEY "ARE YOU HURT?" HE ASKED FEARFULLY. her now gracefully acquired exit from the window a firecracker fell from above and shot off in her garden. Angela started and covered her face. A young man descended quickly by means of the iron ladder. "Are you hurt?" he asked fearfully. Angela uncovered her face and looked up. "N-no, I think not. I was frightened," she said, looking at the remains of the offending firecracker. He heaved a sigh of relief. "It was awfully careless of me," he went on, standing on the bottom rung of the ladder. Angela's garden was hardly large enough for two. "I was just playing 'little boy' again and trying to imagine myself in the country instead of a city apartment. I hope you'll pardon me." There was so much self reproach in his tone that Angela felt that he was truly sorry. "Of course I'll pardon you," she said, with the merest suggestion of a laugh. "I won't shoot any more crackers today. A miss is as good as a mile and it might be a mile next time," he said, fingering the leaf of a nasturtium which had found its way up along the ralling. "But, indeed, I won't be out here long," began Angela, wondering why she was not angry because he remained on the ladder. "I"— "You may remain here all day," he interrupted. "I have done enough mischief for one Fourth." The girl stoooped over and began to twist a wilful vine into place. The young man could not help hoping that he might some day influence the rare human flower before him along the path he wished it to travel as easily and gently as she twisted the nasturtium about the iron bar. He turned and began to climb the ladder. "I am sorry I stepped out so inopportunely and marred your Independence day," said Angela, looking up at him. "Please don't stop your fireworks for me." "Marred my Independence day," he said to himself as he closed the window upstairs. "Well, I don't know about that, but she's marred my peace of mind. Jove, she is pretty!" So the young man in the apartment above Angela's garden found it necessary to rise earlier than was his habit after that Fourth of July morning for a little fresh air. And Angela? It may be that her flowers received less attention after the Fourth of July. But perhaps the exploding of that firecracker hindered their progress; smoke stunts the growth they say. It was raining one morning when Angela opened the window. Close to the ladder stood a pot of flowers which Angela had not planted, one which she had never seen. It was tall and green, and all over it hung little red hearts. She was glad it was raining and that she could not go out among her flowers, because she wanted time to think-time in which to be angry.

Among the well known and successful business women scheduled to speak at the sessions of the New England Baptist missionary convention being held at the Mount Olivet Baptist church in New York from June 15 to 21, is Mme. C. J. Walker of Indianapolis, Ind. While in New York she is the guest of her daughter, Mrs. Lella Walker Robinson, at 108 West One Hundred and Thirty-sixth street. Mme. Walker has done much to encourage and help the women of our race to establish and maintain business enterprises of their own. In this respect she is a pioneer. Her philanthropic and charitable work extends along many lines of uplift. Besides the large amounts which she contributes yearly to charitable objects her gifts in other directions within the past four years run up into thousands of dollars. She is naturally very modest, but we feel that the public should know something of what is being done by MME. C. J. WALKER. individual members of the race toward the support of our educational institutions and other enterprises conducted by our people. While her daughter, Mrs. Lelia Walker Robinson was in Indianapolis in May, Mme. Walker took her on a motoring tour which included Xenia, Wilberforce, Dayton and Springfield, O. In each of the above named towns this noted business woman and her daughter, who is in charge of her New York office, were the recipients of much social attention and many business engagements. Less than a year ago Mme. Walker bought the beautiful homestead and estate of the late Bishop William B Derrick at Flushing, N. Y. After making suitable alterations in the residence and other parts of the estate for home comforts and business purposes she may make Flushing her permanent home. On her return to Indianapolis the latter part of this month Mme. Walker will prepare for a three months tour of the far west, starting early in July for San Francisco, where she will visit the great exposition. En route home she will visit Seattle, Manitoba, Yellowstone park, the Royal gorge and Denver. Colo. She will be accompanied on the tour by her assistant, Miss Alice P. Kelley. Looked Suspicious.

Consider its government, uniting in one bond of common interest and general protection so many different states, giving to all their inhabitants the proud title of American citizens, protecting their commerce, securing their literature and their arts, facilitating their intercommunication, defending their frontiers and making their name respected in the remotest parts of the earth. Consider the extent of territory, its increasing and happy population, its advance in arts which render life agreeable and the sciences which elevate the mind. See education spreading the lights of religion, morality and general information into every cottage in this wide extent of our territories and states. Behold it as the asylum where the wretched and the oppressed find a refuge and support! Look on this picture of happiness and honor and say, "We, too, are citizens of America!"—Andrew Jackson. ```markdown ``` THE SPIRIT OF INDEPENDENCE DAY. THE spirit of the nation is at the highest. Its triumph over the inborn, inbred perils of the constitution has chased away all fears, justified all hopes, and with universal joy we greet this day. We have not proved unworthy of a great ancestry. We had the virtue to uphold what they so wisely, so firmly established. With these proud possessions of the past, with powers matured, with principles settled, with habits formed, the nation passes, as it were, from preparatory growth to responsible development of character and the steady performance of duty. What labors await it, what trials shall attend it, what triumphs for human nature, what glory for itself are prepared for this people in the coming century we may not assume to foretell. "One generation passeth away and another generation cometh, but the earth abideth forever," and we reverently hope that these our constituted liberties shall be maintained to the unending line of our posterity and so long as the earth itself shall endure. In the great procession of nations, in the great march of humanity, we hold our place. Peace is our duty; peace is our policy. In its arts, its labors and its victories, then, we find scope for all our energies, rewards for all our ambitions, renown enough for all our love of fame.—William M. Evarts. China the Birthplace of Fireworks. The trick of protechyney, along with the formula for gunpowder, was brought to Europe from China and the far east about the thirteenth century.

He was a friend of the king, who made him supreme court judge of New Jersey. Still he cast his lot in with the American pa triots, saw his great estate selzed and rained and finally died from the effects of bratal treatment while he was 1 prisoner in the hands of the British.
