Philadelphia.—In this city in May, 1916, will be held the one hundredth anniversary of the founding of the African Methodist Episcopal church. The local committee met the second week in July and formulated its plans. Rev. C. C. Dunlap, pastor of Bethel A. M. E. church, is the chairman of the local committee. Various committees were appointed. The committee on publicity is headed by Dr. R. R. Wright, Jr., editor of the Christian Recorder. There are a committee on homes, a committee on entertainment, a committee on public worship and others for other important matters. The African Methodist Episcopal church was started in Philadelphia in 1787, when Richard Allen, who was a local preacher in the Methodist Episcopal church, led a number of Negroes from St. George's Methodist Episcopal church into an independent church called Bethel. In 1794 was REV. C. C. DUNLAP, D. D. purchased an old blacksmith shop, which was moved from Fourth and Spruce streets upon the lot at Sixth street and Pine. This property has been in their possession ever since. It is now improved and valued at $125,000. Recently two three-story flats have been built upon a part of the property south of the church, which are valued at $15,000 each. This piece of property is the oldest property owned by any Negro organization in the United States. Independent church started by members of the race in various parts of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Baltimore grew steadily, and in 1816 there were enough to form a denominational organization. They met in April, 1816, in this city and called themselves the African Methodist Episcopal church. The leader was Richard Allen, who had already gained considerable reputation for his energy, thrift and integrity during the plague of yellow fever which raged in Philadelphia in 1793, when Governor Clarkson made a public statement of thanks to Richard Allen for his services in this epidemic. Richard Allen was made first bishop of the A. M. E. church. Since that time there have been forty bishops elected. The church has grown from a few members in Philadelphia to nearly a million members, scattered in every state of the United States, in West Africa, South Africa, South America, Canada and other parts of the world. The ministry has increased from the first, who was Richard Allen, to 7,000, representing among them some of the most cultured men of the colored race. The church has been a pioneer in the uplift of the race in many lines. Long before the emancipation of the Negro it started an institution at Wilberforce, O., for the higher education of the Negro. This institution now has property valued at $750,000 and is rated as one of the leading educational institutions among Negroes in Amer- ica. Besides this Institution, there are colleges and academies throughout the south. Soon after the war the missionaries of this church were sent south to bring the colored people into the organization. In South Carolina, in the early eighties, Allen university was started and is now in a flourishing condition. About the same time Morris Brown university was started in Atlanta, Ga., and since that time there have been established Edward Waters college in Jacksonville, Fla.; Kittrell college, in North Carolina; Wayman institute, in Kentucky; Turner Normal and Industrial school, in Tennessee; Payne university, in Alabama; Lampton college, in Louisiana; Campbell college, in Mississippi; Paul Quinn college, in Texas; Shorter college, in Arkansas; Western university, in Kansas City, Mo.; Shorter high school, in West Africa; Wilberforce college, in South Africa, with other schools of lesser grade throughout the country and in South America and the West Indies. Before the civil war the oldest Negro newspaper now in existence was established by this church in the state of Pennsylvania. In 1848 a magazine was started in Pittsburgh, and in 1852 the Christian Recorder was started in Philadelphia. This newspaper is now the only newspaper existing among Negroes which was started before the civil war. Among the men who have been its editors are Bishop B. T. Tanner, now retired, the oldest of the bishops of the A. M. E. church; Bishop B. F. Lee, senior active bishop of the A. M. E. church. This periodical is circulated not only in the United States, but in South America and Africa as well. Besides this paper there are five other periodicals which are controlled by the church. The Southern Christian Recorder, published at Columbus, Ga.; the Western Christian Recorder, at Kansas City, Mo.; the A. M. E. Review, in Philadelphia; the Voice of Missions in New York, and the Woman's Christian Recorder, in Nashville, Tennessee. The financial system of the church is based upon the payment of $1 per year from each member, which is called "dollar money," and is divided so as to furnish salaries of the bishops and most of the general officers of the church and a pension fund for widows and orphans and retired preachers. It furnishes also a part of the missionary fund and the educational fund. The headquarters are located in Washington. The publication department is located in Philadelphia and was incorporated in 1855. In 1852 the Sunday school department was set apart. These two departments publish the literature used by the church, which is not only printed, but is written by members of the church. The Sunday School union at Nashville is said to be the finest publishing house in the world owned by Negroes. The bishop of this district, the Right Rev. Evans Tyree, M. D., D. D., is sparing no paints toward arrangements to make the celebration of the centennial anniversary one of the greatest in the history of the colored race. There will be about 600 delegates, of whom forty will come from Africa and South America and from many other foreign parts. Among them will be two former Philadelphia pastors who have been elected bishops to foreign points, Bishop J. Albert Johnson, bishop of South Africa, and Bishop William H. Heard, bishop of West Africa. Ohio Knights of Pythias Are Active. Members of local lodges, Knights of Pythias, throughout the state of Ohio are making preparations for the meeting of the supreme lodge encampment to be held in Columbus in August. The uniform rank has already commenced drill practice, as the contest for the prize at the coming meeting will be the most exacting in every detail of any yet scheduled by the state grand lodge at an encampment.

Hyde Tells Thrilling Story of How Officers and Men of Famous Regiment Kept Together Under the Most Adverse Circumstances—State Comes to Their Rescue. Chicago.—Henry M. Hyde gives the following account of the struggles and achievements of the Eighth Illinois regiment in war and in peace and its efforts to secure an armory: The transport sailed from Tampa with 1,500 men of the regiment on board. Peace with Spain had not been declared. They looked forward to a taste of fighting with the dons. Off Santiago they learned that the war was over. Too late for any chance of glory, plenty of hard work remained. For eight months they built roads and telegraph lines, cleaned streets, did all manner of hard and dirty jobs. The old Spanish town and the country round about got the first thorough cleaning in their history. When the boys got back home their old rented armory had been sold. An ancient livery stable was the best quarters they could get. Up in the loft they stored part of their equipment and supplies. Down on the barn floor they drilled night after night. Privates who had driven coal wagons or handled shovels all day came in two nights a week to the livery barn and drilled from 8 o'clock to 10:30. Commissioned and noncommissioned officers spent more time on their paper work and studies, turning old box stalls into company rooms and offices, doing their best to keep the standard of the regiment among the highest. Apparently they succeeded. Officers of the regular army sent to inspect it reported year after year that the six companies located in Chicago ranked as high as any militia organization in the state in soldiery efficiency. More than ten years in the old barn! Then it was sold, and the best the regiment could do was to move away and hunt up another. The second old livery stable was in worse condition than the first. But the men and officers stuck to their work. In 1914 they got an appropriation from the legislature of Illinois to build a real armory—their first. Some of the officers had gone out and begged enough money to buy a site. When they got it paid for certain residents in the neighborhood made up their minds that an armory would be a nuisance. They brought pressure to bear, and the regiment had to sell the site. They bought a second site, and a second time plans were made for the building. A second time people in the neighborhood raised an awful row. They couldn't think of allowing a lot of rough soldiers to drill in their vicinity. A third time a site was purchased. This time the contracts were let, and the work of putting up the building began promptly. Last winter, when the shell was under cover and the regiment found it would have to move into the uncompleted building or else into the street, the discovery was made that no arrangements had been made to heat or light the armory and that no money remained with which to pay for the work. The colonel of the regiment came to the front for it. He signed notes for $8,000, and the boilers and lights were put in. But meanwhile the regiment—or that part of it located in Chicago—had increased in size. Two down state companies were mustered out of the service. Units to take their places were recruited in Chicago. Room had to be made for eight companies of the line, in addition to the headquarters company, the hospital corps, the machine gun company, the drum and life corps, the supply company and the band—800 men in all. The legislature which recently adjourned passed a bill appropriating the money to finish the job. Just as soon as it is signed by Governor Dunne, probably within the next few days, work will be begun and rushed to a finish. In October, 1914, when the corner stone was in aid, Governor Dunne was one of the orators. He said that the diligence and patience shown by the regiment in drill and rifle practice under the most adverse conditions conceivable and without any hope of financial reward deserved recognition and that he was glad that it was getting it during his administration. The Elthigh Illinois is made up entirely of colored troops. Eight of the twelve line companies and all the special corps are located in Chicago. The new and unfinished armory stands at Forest avenue and Thirty-fifth street. Colonel F. A. Denison is the commanding officer who signed the note for $8,000 which made it possible to put in the-heating plant and electric lights. Colorado Pythians Meet In Denver. Damon lodge No. 5 and Pythians lodge No. 11, jurisdiction of Colorado, entertained the delegates and visitors to the grand session of the order of Knights of Pythias held in Denver from July 28 to 30 inclusive. The opening session was held at Shorter church. ACTIVE WORK OF SOCIETY FOR HISTORICAL RESEARCH Yonkers Organization Presents Program at Church Anniversary. An interesting program was presented at Beth Tphilah Fourth Moravian church, One Hundred and Thirty-sixth street, New York, the third week in July, which was "Negro Society For Historical Research night" of the series of anniversary meetings held at the church, J. E. Bruce, president of the society, presided and gave a brief and lucid resume of the work the society has done and is doing. After this he introduced Professor J. E. Kwegyir Agrey of the Gold Coast, Africa, one of the members of the society and professor of English literature at Livingstone college, North Carolina, who in an eloquent and impassioned address held the audience spellbound for nearly an hour while he told of the glorious possibilities of the African race and of the splendid work which the society is quietly doing in gathering valuable and useful information, rare books, manuscripts and pamphlets which vindicate the character of the Negro and confuse and confound his traducers. Mr. A. Schomberg, secretary of the society, told of the part the Negro has played in the early history of Texas as a pioneer and cited some facts from Spanish history showing that the Negro has been very much in evidence in the Americas as a soldier, discoverer and adventurer. Dr. C. D. Martin, minister of the church and vice president of the society, made a strong appeal in favor of the establishment in New York city of a permanent home for the society, where the public could have access to its wonderful collection of rare historical Africana. A bountie collation was served at the close of the exercises. Among the distinguished guests present were Professor Fileen and G. D. Gunter, M. A., of Kingston, British West Indies. The headquarters of the Negro Society For Historical Research are at Yonkers, N. Y. New Minister at Pittsburgh Church. The members of the Ebenezer Baptist church, Pittsburgh, closed a brilliant series of meetings incident to the installing of its new minister, the Rev. J. C. Austin, the first week in July. The installation sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr. E. W. Moore of Philadelphia. Baptist ministers of the city churches and those in the vichy, with their choirs, took part at the various services during the week. The Rev. Mr. Austin is in the prime of life, well qualified and able to lead. The church makes a fresh start under favorable circumstances. Mosaic Templars Meet at Denison, Tex. The annual meeting of the state grand lodge, Mosaic Templars of America, was held at Denison, Tex., from July 20 to 22 inclusive. A. W. Weatherford, state grand master of the national order, presided. The attendance was large, each temple and chamber being fully represented. Life Amid Deathlike Stillness. In the rainless interior of Australia there is a "silence of the grave." This deathlike silence has a peculiarly depressing effect. If two men are camped and one of them goes to a distant township to get provisions while the other remains behind to look after the camp, the man who is to remain says to his friend in forcible, gold fields language: "Now, Bill, don't be long away. You know what kind of a place this is to live in by yourself," or words to that effect. If his mate is away for two or three days the silence gets on the man's nerves and in the end he shouts to make a noise. And often he is afraid of the sound of his own voice—Exchange.

LINCOLN AWARDS PRIZES TO MANY President Rendall Delivers Baccalaureate Sermon and Liberian Consul Ernest Lyon Addresses the Literary Societies—Graduating Class Presents the University With Check For $100. Although the commencement exercises at Lincoln university, Pennsylvania, are always good, those which marked the close of the 1915 term were considered to have been the best in the history of the institution. The class was one of the largest that has been graduated for many years. The exercises commenced by the celebration of the anniversary of the Philosophian Literary society and the Garnet Literary association. Hon. Ernest Lyon, consul general of the Republic of Liberia to the United States, delivered an address on "The Genius, Characteristics and Contribution of the Black Race to the Civilizations of Mankind." The eighth annual Opdyke prize debate was held. This is a contest between debating teams representing the two literary societies and is always an interesting event because of the friendly rivalry between them. The question for debate this year was "The Best Interests of United States Demand a Permanent and Substantial Increase In Our Army and Navy." The affirmative fell to the lot of the Philosophian society, which was represented by the following: N. A. Holmes, New Jersey; H. H. Cain, Georgia; A. F. White, Virginia; alternate, D. G. Hill, Maryland. The Garnet Literary association had the negative in the debate. It was represented by A. S. Beckham, South Carolina; H. Brown, Pennsylvania, and H. B. Burton. The judges for the debate were Professor Samuel Dickey of McCormick Theological seminary, Chicago, formerly professor of Greek in Lincoln; Dr. W. P. Finney of John Hopkins university, Baltimore, and Mr. John Johnson of Brazil. The presiding officer was Professor S. C. Hodge. The decision was given to the Philosophian society, which had the affirmative. The individual medal for the best debater was awarded to A. F. White. The baccalaureate sermon was preached by the president, Dr. J. B. Rendall. At the class day exercises orations were delivered in Greek, Latin, Spanish, German and native African. They were all of high merit and delyedier in the usual forceful Lincoln style. One of the features of the class day exercises was the presentation to the university by the class of a check for $100. In the junior orator contest there were five participants. The orations were as follows: H. B. Burton, British West Indies, "A Memorial Obligation"; A. E. Henry, British West Indies, "Immigration"; E. M. Murray, South Carolina, "Man In the Making"; C. R. Saulter, North Carolina, "Neighborhood and Brotherhood"; and C. W. Wood, Virginia, "International Peace." The first prize was awarded to C. W. Wood, Virginia, and second to H. B. Burton, British West Indies. The Latin salutatory, considered one of the best in recent years, was delivered by Francis C. Sumner of Virginia. Leo R. Commission, British West Indies, spoke on "Silent Flowers" and A. F. White of Virginia on "A Permanent Peace." The valedictory was delivered by N. A. Holmes of New Jersey. The following prizes were awarded: Bradley medal to Norman A. Holmes; the class of 1890 prize to Francis C. Sumner; temperance prize in oratory to W. G. Price; second to L. M. Chamberlain. The Moore prizes in English were awarded as follows: Sophomore class, first prize to William P. Young; second was divided between Winston Douglass and Willis G. Price. In the freshman class, first prize to Richard T. Lockett; second to George A. Dalley, with honorable mention to Charles H. Stewart. The Annie Louise Finney prize, which is awarded to the student who best exemplifies the ideals of Lincoln university, was given to Harrison H. Cain; the Stanford memorial prize in mathematics to Winston Douglass first and Thomas J. Crawford second. Exercises were conducted by the class in the Mary Dodd Brown chapel, after which the class banquet was held in the refectory. A large number of the alumni were present. The following is a list of the graduates: W. C. Ad- No. 34 ama, South Carolina; J. B. Barber, North Carolina; A. S. Beasley, Jr., Georgia; A. S. Beckham, South Carolina; C. G.

Ha Zelda Minister. Danville, Va.—One of the most active workers in the state of Virginia and one of the leading ministers is the Rev. S. A. Moses, pastor of the High Street Baptist church in this city and vice president of the Baptist state convention. He has earned his place by hard work and study and is in a position to extend sympathy to the young people struggling to get a foothold in this country or in any part of the world. The Rev. Mr. Moses is yet a young man. He was born March 17, 1877, on a farm in Charlotte county, Va. His parents, Jefferson and Jane Moses, were not overladen with this world's goods, so that it is needless to say that young Moses' opportunity for getting an education was meager and limited. S. A. MOSES, D. D. Such schools as were opened in that section of the country the little fellow attended. He had been in the world just twenty years when he entered the Virginia Theological seminary and college under the late Professor G. W. Hayes. He stuck to it and finished the academic course and later the college course, coming out in 1904. He was then prepared for work. His first work was as superintendent of missions for the Virginia Baptist state convention, and for this he received a salary of $100 a month. Two years were spent in this position. At the close of his work he accepted a call to the First Baptist church of Harrisonburg, Va., where he put in some of his best work, making friends and at the same time adding many to the church. Dr. Moses remained in this charge for six years. While in Harrisonburg he made himself useful in the affairs of the state, demonstrating his ability as a great orator and preacher. A number of calls were extended him during the stay, but he remained there until he had accomplished something for the people and the church. It was in 1912 that he heard the call from the High Street Baptist church, in this city, and after prayerful consideration accepted it.

Whites and Blacks have a "Joy Party." The residence of Mrs. Callie Houston, a white woman, was raided early Wednesday morning, in the old red light district at 204 Eleventh Ave. So. All the women who were arrested were white except one, the male contingent were all Negroes, among them representative citizens. Some secured bail and the case will be heard Saturday before Judge Bardwell. Among those present were Willis Colter, Fred Abbey and B. F. Jones who were guests of "Doctor" M. W. Judy, a former dentist whose white lady friend was among the captured. Dancing was the special feature and it was kept up quite late. The place has had a bad reputation and the police desired to "break up the party." One of the white women was employed at Power's Dry Goods Store. A quantity of beer and an opium layout were found. Mrs. Houston was charged with keeping a disorderly house, eighteen persons were charged with being found in the place. The Star does not specialize on sensational news, and any mention of that raid is a case of We're damned if we do, or damned if we don't. We are not in favor of these, all Negro men and all white women gatherings, and have always opposed them. They do us no good and this case is a warning to those who regard their standing in the community. Such men as Mr. Judy and other Masons, who are living under a cloud, are a disgrace to the fraternity. There are numerous such places supported by Negroes and they would not exist if men had more self respect. This is a serious condition, not a matter of intermarriage or amalgamation, but an indecent intermingling of married people of opposite sexes and races, segregated in buffet flats and assignation houses. The fact, that white men and Negro women have done these things under sanction of the authorities in past years (and they will always do it) does not justify emulation. The Negro cannot afford to compete with white man in the wrong here or elsewhere. We cannot overcome the prejudices brought on by publicity. Death of an Old Citizen Mr. Chas. Turner, one of the oldest and most respected citizens was found dead at his residence on Fourth Ave. So, last week. He was overcome by gas. His funeral was held last Saturday. Masonic services were conducted by Perfect Ashler Lodge. Mr. J. M. Morris accompanied the body to Atlanta. Ga. to rest beside the remains of Mrs. Turner, who died about a year ago.

Dr. M. C. B. Mason, the eloquent Methodist preacher, is very ill at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. Dr. Mason was formerly Sec'y of the Freedman's Aid of the M. E. Church, and one of the best known men of his race, and his recovery is anxiously hoped for by his many admirers. COUNTY OPTION. Now that it is certain that a county election will be held on Sept. 27, the Negroes are much interested. While there are many identified with the wet element, they do not propose to vote to sanction discrimination against them in many saloons. Sen. E. J. Westlake, is a leader of the wet faction. He was elected by the Negro vote, and a committee will wait upon him to place their grievances before him. Unless he uses his great influence to bring about better conditions, they will vote for a dry county. Such PROHIBITION practices, as "refusing to serve Negro gentlemen" and placing humiliating signs "NEGROES NOT WANTED HERE" will serve as a boomerang to many of the retail liquor dealers—and it should. If Negroes cannot get decent treatment as other people in public places, then let us go fifty-fifty on the blind pigs, and there will be some equality to this "personal liberty" (?) issue. Any Negro who would vote to endorse the present conditions of the liquor traffic belongs to the class that has brought most disgrace upon his race—the Negro without either manhood or principle. Editor J. H. Murphy of Baltimore has been excluded from the pale of Masonry by the Grand Lodge of Maryland. We regret his misfortune. Had our own Jose H. Sherwood cf Minnesota, (whom Mr. Murphy defeated for the high office of Imperial Potentate of the Shriners by a small and questionable vote) been elected, he would have served his term with honor. There are many defeats more glorious than some victories. Mr. Andrew F. Hilyer of Washington, D. C., is greatly interested in the work of the National Association for the advancement of Colored People. He is an active worker in Washington and does what he can to assist the Association in this state. Mr. Hilyer is a native of Minneapolis and the first Negro graduate of the University of Minnesota. His son, Atty. Galé P. Hilyer is secretary of the local branch in the city. There is much talk of a National Vigilance Committee in Washington and Mr. Hilyer is well qualified for membership, and Minnesota will request a place on that body, because of the services rendered to the race by all of her congressional representatives. Ministers After Big Boodle. A charter has been granted to some of the insurgent preachers of the National Baptist Convention, the largest Negro religious body of the world. Rev. Sutton Griggs is one of the leaders. This most daring financial feat is a movement to get control of the National Baptist Publishing Co. of Nashville, Tenn., founded by Dr. R. H. Boyd, which is one of the largest publishing houses in the world. The Convention meets in Chicago in September and it looks as if the bold boodlers will return with every boon. MEETING OF BUSINESS MEN. National League to Convene at Boston, Wednesday, Aug. 18. A nation wide movement is under way to carry to Boston the largest assemblage of successful Negro business men and women ever brought together in this country to celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of the founding of the National Negro Business league. The meeting will be held in Convention hall, Garrison and St. Botolph streets, Boston's newest and most commodious hall, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, Aug. 18, 19 and 20. The Boston Local Business league 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 reception and entertainment of the delegates. Arrangements have been made with the Southern railway whereby a National Negro Business league special train will leave Atlanta Sunday night, Aug. 15, between 11 and 12 o'clock. Delegates living in the southeastern territory should meet at Atlanta, from which point the National Negro Business league special train will start. Delegates from Texas, Louisiana, Tennessee, Alabama, Florida, North Carolina and South Carolina are especially urged to arrange to johh this special train, which will be provided with separate engine, baggage car, dining car and all Pullman cars. Delegates living in Florida should communicate with Charles H. Anderson, treasurer of the National Negro Business league, 182 Broad street, Jacksonville, Fla. Alabama delegates are asked to communicate with E. T. Attwell, president of the Alabama State Negro Business league, at Tuskegee institute; west Tennessee delegates with T. H. Hayes, member of the executive committee, 247 Poplar street, Memphis, Tenn., and east and central Tennessee delegates with Hon. J. C.

Hall, a member of the executive committee of the national organization, 3208 South Park avenue, Chicago, and William D. Neighbors, a life member of the national organization, 3241 Vernon avenue, are formulating plans for a special train to start from Chicago for the convenience of the delegates living in the vicinity of St. Louis, Chicago and all the western territory, including points in Kentucky and Illinois. Arrangements will be made for delegates to stop off at Buffalo and Niagara Falls for a sightseeing tour. Delegates intending to be present from that section of the country are requested to write Dr. Hall or Mr. Neighbors. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON, President Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. J. C.

Thompson and Davis Died Defending Old Glory In War of 1812. On Christmas day, 1812, in the fight between the American privateeer Governor Tompkins and the British man-of-war Laurel an eighteen pound shot took off both legs of John Thompson, a Negro sailor in the privateeer, and mutilated the lower part of his body in a horrible manner. Although in his death agonies, the heroic fellow shouted to those about him: "Fire away, boys! Nebber haul de colors down!" Standing near Captain Shaler about this moment was another Negro seaman, John Davis. He was mortally injured in much the same manner and, falling to the deck, begged that he might be thrown overboard immediately lest his mangle remains encumber the working of the guns. Baptists in Efforts to Save Property, President W. Bishop Johnson of the New England Baptist missionary convention has called upon the ministers of the churches of the convention for contributions from their congregations to prevent the loss of a valuable piece of church property for debt. Several churches have indicated their intention to render financial aid to the church in question, which is without a minister. Dr. Johnson was in Brooklyn on Saturday, July 17, in the interest of the matter. Nurses to Hold Meeting in Raleigh. The National Association of Colored Nurses will hold its eighth annual convention at Raleigh, N. C., for three days, beginning on Tuesday, Aug. 17. Miss Mary York of Raleigh is chairman of the local committee of arrangements. TWIN CITY STAR IMPORTANT POST FOR THE REV. DR. A. J. CAREY. Chicago's Mayor Appoints Minister Special Bureau Chief. The Rev. A. J. Carey, D. D., Ph. D., minister at the Institutional A. M. E. church, Chicago, for years a stanch friend of Mayor William Hale Thompson, has been appointed chief of a special investigation bureau in the office of the corporation counsel. He will have six assistants. The salary of the chief will be $2,400 per annum. The appointment was made by instructions from Mayor Thompson, who wished Dr. Carey to have a place which he could hold without interfering with his church duties. Dr. Carey is one of the most prominent ministers of the A. M. E. connection and has been remarkably successful as the minister and warden of the Institutional church, and it is likely that he will be elected bishop at the next quadrennial conference. He is known as the militant pastor. He is a man of great eloquence and moral courage. He has won fame for himself in fighting segregation in every form. In a recent public speech Mayor Thompson said: "Dr. Carey is one of my best friends, and the principal reason that I admire him is the fact that he is fearless in his fight against injustice. He never condones wrongs against the colored people, as many as called leaders have done. I admire the man who fears not to stand for the right." The Rev. Dr. Carey is a member of the Illinois commission for the coming Lincoln jubilee and half century celebration, which opens in Chicago on Sunday, Aug. 22, with a great religious congress. He is also interested in many other good movements for the advancement of the race. EQUAL RIGHTS IN FRANCE. The Diagne Bill Gives Military Privileges to All Alike. Paris.—The chamber of deputies in this city has three colored deputies representing the colonies from which they are sent by the suffrage of their fellow citizens. A dispatch from Paris recently says that the race and color question that was raised in the French chamber of deputies by the bill of the Negro deputy, M. Diagne, representing Senegal, providing for the extension of general compulsory military service in France to colonial municipalities whose inhabitants enjoy French citizenship, was presented in numerous new lights and complications at the session of the chamber. The question of how to apportion a pension in cases of polygamist Senegalese leaving several widows proved a poser for the deputies. The minister of war and the military committee of the chamber approved the general provisions of the Diagne bill, which provide for the incorporation with the regular French forces of the Senegalese subject to compulsory service. The action of the committee was immediately attacked by Deputy Labrouse, who pictured the difficulties arising from the presence in the French army of soldiers unable to speak French and of different religion and social customs. Deputy Labroure also raised the question of confusion in the payment of pensions to the widows of polygamous Senegalese. He proposed an amendment providing for the incorporation of such troops in native regiments entitled to pensions and the other rights of French citizens. The speaker was frequently interrupted by protests from the Negro Deputies Diagne, Lagrosilliere of Martinique and Candace and Bolsneuf of Guadeloupe, Lagrosilliere crying amid frantic applause, "Our fellow citizens ask only to be allowed to serve the mother country, for which they already have poured out their blood." Paul Deschanel, president of the chamber, was forced to quell the tumult by declaring that the entire chamber felt "the same respect and the same love for all, whatever their race or religion, who are fighting under the folds of the tricolored flag." Deputy Labroure insisted on the special regiments for Senegalese who do not speak French. Deputy Boisneuf interrupted, crying, "I then demand a special regiment for Frenchmen unable to read and write." Deputy Diagne then obtained the floor and made an eloquent appeal on behalf of the blacks, reviewing the part they had played in conquering the French colonial empire. "For eleven months the Senegalese have demanded to be allowed to serve France," he said; "if they haven't been permitted to do so it is the fault of the minister of war." Deputy Diagne said that the widows of soldiers ought to receive pensions even when there were several, but he added: "Native soldiers are not as rich as the average French soldier, who is also poor and therefore has only one wife. Polygamy is a luxury of wealth." Alexandre Millerand, minister of war, said the Diagne bill seemed to meet the wishes of a majority of the colonials and urged its passage. The bill was passed without change. Looking For It. Some men are eagerly seeking trouble that will drive them to drink—New York Times. THE MORAL PHASE OF NEGRO LIFE. Home Training Most Important Saves Miss Namie 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 GOOD REASONS Why You Should Join The National Association for the Advancement of Colored 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. The Association needs money and new members. It costs just one dollar to join.
