NO. 11 CHRISTIAN CONGRESS CLOSING SCENE AT CONVENTION HALL SIX THOUSAND PEOPLE APPROVE OF THE ADDRESS TO THE COUNTRY. MANY CHURCH MEETINGS SUNDAY. Sunday morning, afternoon and evening in Convention Hall and all the churches closed the session of the Negro Young People's Christian Congress. The closing hours were interesting and enthusiastic. There were fully 6,000 people in Convention Hall Sunday evening. Every space in that great structure was filled. The address to the American people was read by Professor Kelly Miller of Howard University which is in full as follows: TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. "The Negro Young People's Educational and Christian Congress assembled in its second quadrennial session, presents to the American public the following appeal and declaration of principles: "We wish to acknowledge the guidance of an all wise Providence which for the second time brings together the various religious denominations among us in the spirit of Christian fellowship to deliberate for the common good of the race and for the spread of the cause of righteousness. "We glory in the prosperity of our common country and in the leading part it has taken to bring about peace and Christian amity among the nations of the earth. "We rejoice in the high standard of civic righteousness which is being brought to bear upon some of our domestic problems, as seen in the crusade against municipal corruption and the just restrictions placed upon corporate greed and rapacity. America's Great Problem. "We express the hope that this aroused public conscience may be directed to America's most troublesome and complex problem—the harmonious adjustment of the races. "We wish to direct the energies of our people to the Christian training and nurture of the young, and to greater evangelical effort toward spiritual awakening, believing, as we do, that he the Christian religion is a solvent for all human problems. "The negro is heavily handicapped in his upward struggle. We appeal to the friends of humanity everywhere to aid and encourage him in the development of character and the acquisition of intelligence, thrift and frugality as means to reach a higher level of life. "The progress already attained is but tions. Every citizen should have due an earnest and hopeful indication of the larger development necessary to meet the requirements of our civilization. "It is often claimed that the means and effort devoted to the education of the negro race have been wasted. On the contrary, we affirm that no like sum of money during he same period, expended in any other direction has produced such moral and material advantage to any other class of citizens or to the general welfare. We invite a candid and dispassionate investigation of the basis of this affirmation. "We are grateful to the Northern philanthropy for means and service contributed in our behalf. We also appreciate the fact that the Southern States have devoted a considerable part of their general fund to the education of the negro youth. We wish to commend the fair-minded attitude of those Southern white men who stand for equal educational advantages for all the children of their respective States. "We wish, however, to state, in the most positive terms, that the prevailing dogma to the effect that the white race voluntarily imposes taxes upon itself for the education of the negro contains a mischievous fallacy. On final analysis labor pays every tax in the world. The laborer, more than any other class, bears the weight of the public burden, and is justly entitled to share in all public benefits. Negro Helps Bear Burden. "The apportionment of such benefits according to taxpaying abilities is never advanced except where the race issue is involved. This policy would be laughed to scorn in any other section of our country, and would be considered as suicidal as to meate our punishment for crime according to the taxpaying ability of the criminal. Directly or indirectly, the negro contributes his full share towards bearing the public burden in every Southern State, and is, therefore, entitled to the education of his children on equal terms with the rest, as his just and equitable portion, and not as a civic gratuity. "We deprecate the controversy, now happily waning, between the advocates of higher and of industrial education. The negro requires every kind and degree of education to meet the wide circle of his needs. The question of industrial, higher or professional training is merely one of ratio and proportion, and must be left to individual aptitude, inclination, and opportunity. "We believe that the individual should be developed as a man, as well as a workman; that his training should lead to a broader conception of truth and duty, as well as to performance of specific modes of service. "We advocate national aid to local education in those States and parts of States where existing conditions demand it. "Crime has no color; the criminal no race. The wrongdoer should be isolated and dealt with as an enemy to society. To impute to a race the evil deeds of individuals tends to promote rather than diminish crime. It engenders race animosity and reprisal, which always finds lodgment in the breasts of the baser members of both races, thus perpetuating a constant state of hatred and strife. Oppose Vice and Crime. "All the forces of law and order, without regard to race, should be solidly arrayed against vice and crime, and especially against its most heinous and repugnant forms. There should be incultured in the minds of white and black alike the necessity for higher respect and reverence for law and order. We stand pledged to continue to do our utmost in this respect and to co-operate with our white fellow-citizens to bring about the desired result. "It is the duty of every citizen to obey and uphold the law of the land and of the community in which he resides, to fulfill cheerfully every civic obligation, and to uphold the highest patriotic principles and ideals. It is the reciprocal duty of the government to protect every citizen in the full and equal enjoyment of guaranteed rights and privileges. For any State or community to enact oppressive regulations tending to humiliate and degrade any part of its citizens is a mistaken and short-sighted statesmanship. "Equality before the law and behind the law lies at the basis of our institu- weight and influence in making the laws by which he is to be governed, as well as equal protection and benefits of such laws. We are anxious to be clearly understood on this point. We enter our determined and unalterable protest against all regulations subversive of this principle, under whatever guise or disguise they may appear. In this attitude we believe that we represent the true American and Christian ideal. "Pessimism is a remedy for nothing. It rights no wrongs, corrects no evils, leads to no constructive results. It chills our spirit and paralyzes our energies. We urge the negro to maintain a manly, Christian courage and to preserve an optimistic spirit, even amid conditions which baffle and buffet him; God reigns and the negro is an optimist. Situation Demands Union. "The situation demands union of aim and effort among all who are subject to the same burdensome conditions. The counsel of division is the counsel of death. We rejoice in the growing spirit of harmony and co-operation among negroes of various beliefs and shades of thought for the common good of the race. In our united endeavor we invite the co-operation of all Americans who feel it a human duty to help bear the burden of those who are cast down and overborne. "We believe that our cause is just, and therefore, were confidently submit our appeal to the considerate judgment of our fellow-men with regard to race or section. "Believing as we do in the efficacy of prayer, even as did our fathers and mothers in the darker days of slavery, we propose that the first day of January, which marks the period of our emancipation in this land, be devoted to praise, prayer and supplication touching conditions of race. We invite all our fellow-citizens who believe in the influence and power of prayer to unite their prayers with ours in behalf of this great human cause." Prior to the adoption of the resolution the choir of a thousand voices rendered several sacred selections. Solos, instrumental and vocal, and vocal duets were parts of the musical program. The entire evening was one of farewell exercises. Parting addresses were delivered by Bishop W. B. Derrick, of New York; Rev. J. W. E. Bowen, of this city, who took for his theme, "The Voice of the Negro;" Rev. J. B. Rives, of Philadelphia; Bishop R. S. Williams, of Augusta, Ga., and the final address was delivered by the new president of the congress, Bishop George W. Clinton, Prof. I. Garland Penn, correspond- Continued on 4th page Mrs Lawson GoesSouth Mrs. Rosetta E. Lawson, National Organizer of the W. C. T. U, made her report of her recent visit to the South before the Executive Committee of the W. C. T. U of the District of Columbia at its regular monthly meeting on Wednesday. The report was listened to with strict attention throughout and received with marks of high appreciation. Mrs. Lawson felt that the courtesy of reporting before the local W. C. T. U. before publishing any account of her trip was due, because it was largely through the encouragement and advice of Mrs. Clinton, District President, that she went. Mrs. Lawson's report is so full of fudge and so interesting that The Bee publishes it in full, which is as follows: During my recent visit to the beautiful Southland in the interest of the W. C. T. U. work generally, and especially to address the girls who were graduated from Ferguson-Williams College at Aberville, S. C., of which our noble fellow citizen, Rev. Emery W. Williams is President, and his excellent helpmate (formerly Miss Ella V. Chase) is Principal, I found many things to delight my heart. My itinerary included Nor- my heart. My A A. H. RECORDER OF DEEDS. HON. J. C. DANCY. folk, Portsmouth and Berkeley, Va.; and Charlotte, N. C.; Spartanburg, Greenville, Abberville, Anderson, Aiken, Columbia, S. C., and Augusta, Ga. At Norfolk Rev. Wm. H. Moss, pastor of Bank Street Baptist Church, welcomed me into his beautiful home and made it possible for me to plant the work in his church. Mrs. Moss is as generous and hospitable as her husband and my stay in Norfolk was both profitable and pleasurable. Mrs. Mebane, local missionary for the Woman's Baptist Home Missionary Society, had planned entertainment for me at Portsmouth in her own dainty home and arranged for meetings in Rev. Somerville's Church, and in Rev. Armstead's where I met the engagements and organized the W. C. T. U. Through her I addressed the Missionary Circle in Rev. Hugh's church in Berkeley, arranged for a revival of W. C. T. U. work there and was entertained during my stay in the charming home of Mrs. R. G. L. Page. On my arrival at Raleigh I was the guest of Mrs. Pope, who though an invalid, had, through the use of the telephone in her husband's (Dr. Pope's) office, heralded my coming and arranged for a most delightful parlor meeting at her residence of the Episcopal clergyman, Rev. Dr. King. I addressed the ladies assembled and partook of the bountiful repast provided by them before taking the midnight train for Charlotte. At Greensboro, where I changed cars for Charlotte, I met Bishop and Mrs. Clinton, who kindly offered me the courtesy of their home during my stay in the Queen City of the South. As I had but one day to spend and many friends at Charlotte, I breakfasted with Mrs. Henderson, President of the W. C. T. U. Federation, enjoyed the pleasure of a drive to witness the beautiful May Celebration which was in gorgeous floral display covering and making dazzling beautiful vehicles of every description. With our own Mrs. Wyche, formerly Miss Ethel Davis, now wife of the prosperous physician, Dr. Wyche, of Charlotte, I dined and took tea and spent the night at the beautiful Clinton home. Following this I spent two days at Star --- --- What I Saw And Heard The people in this city, I mean the citizens, are very much disgusted at the attempt of some one to put the failure of the Negro Young People's Congress upon them. The citizens had nothing whatever to do with the Congress and neither did they authorize any one to speak for them. The responsibility belongs to a few self-constituted ministers, who called a meeting themselves and appointed themselves to entertain the strangers and to arrange for this Congress. I want to say that the citizens were not consulted and neither did they deputize any one to speak for them. My old friend Aaron Priolau, who made a contest for Congress, has surrendered to the authorities of South Carolina and is now in jail in that state. He voluntarily returned to the state and surrendered and he is now living on bread and water. If there ever was a political persecution of a colored Republican it is Mr. Priolau. There were some brainy men in the recent gathering that assembled in Convention Hall. The South produced the best men that appeared in this religious congress. Col, Giles B. Jackson will continue his fight to distribute the funds of the coming Jamestown Exposition. I don't see why he should not distribute this fund. Well, it is no more than what I have been saying. The whie man is of the opinion that all the solored man is fit for is to be the hewer of wood and drawer of water. I heard one of the delegates to the recent congress say that he people in the South did not care to dump their money in Washington and for that reason many of the midd not come. Mr. Miller struck a snag when he ran up against Public Printer Stillings. The President took no hand in this last mix-up. I understand that Mr. Miller did not receive any notice of charges. Mr. Stillings on the oher hand declared that he did. Now there is another attempt to blacken the good reputation of a worthy minister, Rev. J. Anderson Taylor. I understand that an affidavit was made by the woman who was induced to make the charges to the extent that they were without foundation and shortly thereafter it is said that she was persuaded to make a counter affidavit, denying the first. If that be true such a person should be severely dealt with. No one will believe the alleged charges that have been circulated against Rev. Taylor. Reputation cannot be made in a day. DIXIE MINSTRELS. DIXIE MINSTREES. The opening season of the Dandy Dixie Minstrels at the Majestic Saturday, August 4th, was a signal for a successful week.

Book out for Edgray or the Black Heir. tanburg and through the courtesy of Dr. D. H. Johnson, formerly president of Allen University, Columbia, S. C., met many charming people. I was charmingly entertained by Mrs. J. B. Liston of Howard avenue, and found Mrs. E. H. Alexander, Mrs. Rhodes, Mrs. Bonar, Mrs. Dr. Hardy and many prominent citizens delighted to response the work of the W. C. T. U. Leaving Spartansburg on Saturday I found a carriage in waiting on my arrival at Greenville through the courtesy of Mrs. C. M. Duncan and was soon domiciled with Mrs. R. L. Hickson, wife of Rev. Hickson. Through him I was able to make by telephone arrangements for addresses at Rev. Maloy's and Rev. Pinson's churches, and organized the city for W. C. T. U. work on Sunday. Through that characteristic Southern hospitality, Mr. Duncan provided the carriage to take me to the station for my departure for Abbeville. By due course of time I soon found myself in the home of my friends, Rev. and Mrs. Williams, the former of whom awaited my arrival at the station. It was commencement week at Ferguson-Williams College, and Mrs. Williams, Principal of the Normal Department, was in charge of the graduating class at rehearsal at the Courthouse; to which place I was taken as soon as a hasty attention had been given to the wear and tear of travel on my appearance. Here indeed was the Home, Sweet Home of my heart's desire, for hostesses are born, not made, and Mrs. Williams had lost none of that charming personality of her girlhood, but the experience of years had ripened and enhanced the charms of the matron. I remained at Abbeville during commencement week. Was introduced to the citizens at the closing exercises of the Sub-Normal Department Monday night, and addressed the girls who were graduated Wednesday night. After this I addressed the Woman's Interdenominational Union, which had been organized by Mrs. Williams; organized the Abbeville W. C. T. U.; addressed the alumni association of the college at one of the most interesting and beautiful gatherings I have ever witnessed, and addressed the citizens of Abbeville in a large mass meeting, besides having run off to Anderson, Aiken and Augusta between the acts. At Abbeville June 9th, just six years following my departure for Edinburgh, Scotland, as delegate to the World's W. C. T. U. Convention, I organized my first State W. C. T. U., with Mrs. E. V. C. Williams, president; Mrs. J. R. E. Lee of Columbia, vice-president; Mrs. M. J. Earle, Anderson, corresponding secretary; Mrs. C. D. Saxon, Columbia, recording secretary, and Mrs. M. L. Gassaway, Anderson, treasurer. The meeting at Alken, planned and arranged by Rev. C. K. Brown was a perfect success. There I found Dr. C. C. Johnson, son of Mrs. Poindexter of our own city, doing a successful business and not despising the day of small things too much to attend the day and take an interested part. I wish his example and that of Dr. Earle at Anderson might be emulated by physicians in this and other cities I have visited. Aiken is a beautiful place, a great health resort for Northern tourists in the winter, and the seat of the noted school for colored youth taught by Miss Martha Scofield. I was told that nearly every colored family owns their own home in Aiken and those who do not are not highly regarded. Anderson is the most thrifty and businesslike place for its size I have visited in the South. Dr. L. A. Earle is the only colored practicing physician, and has joint occupancy of a downtown office with three white physicians, who are most courteous and considerate with his patients. The old residents and leading business men among the whites are most courteous to Mrs. Earle, who is the daughter of Ex-Congressman Miller. During a drive of several hours with her I saw at least a dozen white men lift their hats, which in lieu of the reputed prejudice of that section, I was entirely unprepared to see. Before I left Washington I was told by my friend, Mrs. J. W. Lyons, not to go so near Augusta without going there. I had hardly thought it possible to include any part of Georgia in my trip. It only became necessary, however, for Mrs. Lyons' sisters, the Misses Grace and Anna Hope, to hear I was in the adjoining state, to begin preparations among Augusta's citizens to welcome me. Reaching there on Saturday night I was escorted by Mr. Birney of Charleston, who is Cotton Inspector at Augusta, to a reception at Miss Lucy Laney's school, given in my honor by the citizens of Augusta. Sunday I attended the baccalaureate sermon at Paine College, and Rev. G. W. Walker, president, recognizing and honoring the white ribbon, invited me to a seat with the trustees Continued on 8th Page.

W. WHAT HAS IT ACCOMPLISHED? There has been one thing accomplished by the Negro Young People's Christian Congress and many blunders made both by the national and local committees. The Bee shall be plain as well as fair to those who had control of this great gathering. In the first instance there is no organization. Like all other organizations among colored people, they generally make a head with no body. That is, there is no following among four of the so-called great organizations among colored people. This Christian Congress has no membership; it was fully demonstrated during its many sessions at Convention Hall. It is an institution in name, composed of quasi heads. That is to say, a few men have named themselves as officers of a body politic that is without a membership. Those who attended this Congress represented no constituted or organized body: It is true, some brilliant men attended this gathering, who were self appointed. It was born in Georgia, with Bishop Gaines as its nurse and Prof. I. Garland Penn, who is a brilliant young man, as an assistant, and he has been furnishing the milk to the nurse for distribution among those of his own denomination. As we said in the beginning, the Congress has accomplished one thing. It brought men and women to the Capital of the nation who electrified the people by their oratory. The committee that was created in Georgia arranged the program and it systematically ignored some of the most brilliant Baptist orators in the United States. The local committee in charge made a complete failure and many blunders. Many of them showed bad judgment and unwarrantable selfishness. The most disgusting act of one of the committee was the one dollar tax imposed upon boardinghouse keepers and hotels. Another blunder was a charge of seventy-five (75) cents for admission to the hall. Many of the delegates became disgusted and refused to attend the Congress. The Metropolitan Baptist or the Metropolitan Methodist Church should have been selected in which sessions of the Congress should have been held instead of paying twelve hundred dollars ($1200) for Convention Hall. Visitors, delegates and others could have then been handsomely entertained. Every time a visitor or a delegate turned he had to pay for it. The Bee will not charge graft, as many have, charged against some. The Bee will be more charitable, because it believes that there were many conscientious workers on many of the committees. Our local Baptists, who contributed more than all the combined Methodists, received less consideration and when they saw that it was a denominational affair, many of them withdrew. There was as much politics in the election of the national officers as there is in a ward election. The Zion Methodists played good politics by electing Bishop George W. Clinton. The defeat of Professor Penn was a mistake and a bluntness of the delegates. He deserved more consideratioi and this quasi body OLD VARDAMAN. A special from the South informs the North, and especially the people in the District of Columbia, that old man Vardaman of Mississippi wants to come to the Senate and if he succeeds his first and untiring efforts while at the Capital will be to establish "Jim Crow" cars in the District of ColCumbia. The advice of The Bee to this old man, who has not long to remain upon this earth, is to be quiet and give his old bones a rest, because when he comes here he will not only ride beside the refined colored lady and gentleman, but he will eat bread that is mixed by black hands. He will not stop here, he will be very apt to run across a denizen of blood field or a blond of "foggy bottom." When the time comes for old man Vardaman to die, he will have his praises sung by Ben Tillman and John Sharp Williams, two distinguished revolutionists will no doubt be his chief mourners and pallbearers. The citizens of this city, we mean the refined and educated ones, would much prefer to ride in a street car with respectable colored citizens than to ride with such an animal as Vardaman. The time will soon come when the colored citizens of Washington will be looked upon with admiration. The intelligent white man and woman in this city respect the well behaved and thrifty colored citizen. The colored citizen is doing all in his power to build up the city and obey the laws that govern it. The colored citizen, we mean the thief and those who violate the laws, is not as dangerous as many of the white men and women in this community who make their daily visits to the Police Court and are sent from there to the grand jury. The colored citizens will have no objections to the passage of a bill that will separate the bad and dangerous whites, as well as the colored. If old man Vardaman should by chance come here, or if the sensible people of Mississippi will turn fools and send him to this city. The Bee will extend to him an invitation to visit a few of our schools and perhaps an observation at one of our swell balls or receptions may tend to give this old man a different opinion of the colored society of Washington. SPURIOUS MASONS. In another column of The Bee this week will be read with interest the decision of the court at Charlotte, New York, against the Hiram Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons. The Court decided that the Prince Hal Grand Lodge of Massachusetts of Colored Masons and their spurious followers had no rights whatever. There are in this city Prince Hal followers which the other side claim are spurious. In every state where the other side has contended, Prince Hal followers have been declared spurious. Similar conditions exist in this city and it is quite evident that the 19th Street Masons are the only legitimate Colored Masons in the District of Columbia, and their grand lodge and subordinate lodges are the only recognizable bodies in the United States. There is no doubt but that all Prince Hal lodges in the District of Columbia are spurious, and immediate steps will be taken by the only recognized body of colored Masons to put all spurious colored Masons out of business. The decision that The Boe prints is very interesting and should be read. The Virginia Avenue Masons, so-called, have been declaring that they are the only legitimate body of Masons and vet no court in the United States where their rights have been attacked have sustained them. Similar steps will be taken against this spurious body in this city. In the case of Mr. Hill it is quite evident that he was the only man who received a letter to report for the place to which he had been appointed and when he was informed that another man had just been appointed a few minutes before was untrue. Mr. Hill arrived at the department before it was open and no man was in sight at or after his arrival. What does all this mean? Will the Civil Service Commission investigate or will the President take a hand in it? Will Secretary Loeb look into this matter and call the attention of the President to it, or will the President act? THE ADDRESS. On the last day of the Christian Congress an address to the country was issued. It is published in full this week in The Bee. It is well written, but it doesn't say enough. It begs the question. The committee that prepared the address should have advised the colored people what to do at the next Presidential election. The address should have informed President Roosevelt that he has failed to do his duty towards the colored people and has broken faith with them. It failed to inform the Republican party and the last Congress that the declarations of the last National Republican Convention have not been carried out. It should have told Mr. Roosevelt that every government department under his administration with the exception of one, Jim Crows the worthy colored citizen. It should have informed the President that many of his cabinet officers discriminate against the colored citizens and if these wrongs are not remedied they will go to a party that believes in equality of citizenship. The address makes a loud noise, but it means nothing. It is the vaporings of an apologist. Until the American colored man declares his independence and exercises his manhood rights, so long will those in power continue to humiliate him. This Congress was less expensive than the Atlanta Congress by several hundred dollars. While there has been cries of graft, there is no evidence of it. The Bee still maintains that the Atlanta committee ignored almost entirely the local committee that had the affair in charge. While one or two of the local committees failed to do anything, there were committees that worked hard. Reverting again to the committee on address, it could have made itself immortal and placed the colored race upon a basis that it never was placed before. EVERYBODY HAPPY. Ernest Hogan introduced to the people in this country a play called Rufus Rastus. It is the most remarkable play that has ever been placed upon the American stage. There is no play in existence that contains so much as Rufus Rastus. Many of the sentiments in this play are quoted by the most famous clubs, journals and statesmen. "Is everybody happy?" is a byword on picnics, excursions in balls, parties and receptions. "I have run some" is often seen in national journals. "Again" is another word that our contemporary, the daily Post; used in expressing the opinion of Wm. J. Bryan. It can be seen that no play has won the plaudits of the American people more than Ernest Hogan in Rufus Rastus. ADDRESS OF WELCOME We welcome you to the Capital City of the greatest nation on earth. You will observe its beautiful Capitol building, with is great dome; its pacious streets, its charming public buildings, chiefly its Library, Treasury, Interior, State-War-and-Navy buildings; the White House where dwells the peerless President Roo-evelt, the Pension Office, the Smithsonian Institute, the Post Office building, and what mot. You can go in and see them all, and all will be welcome. You need express your boundless enthusiasm and agreeable surprise at their immensity until you return home, and then please control your transport. The President and heads of these departments govern about ninety million people, and exercise a power among the nations of the world which makes us a virtual arbitrator in the settlement of the most important and far-reaching world questions. We welcome you to the city that has the largest colored population of any city in America, if not in the world; that has the largest number of colored schools, with the greatest supply of teachers. We have more colored churches here than in any other city, with more and possibly abler pastors. We have over a hundred physicians and fifteen drug stores, forty lawyers and more leaders and statesmen than any other city in Aemurica. We here possess more property, more money and hold more government places than in any other city, and with all these no resident of th District is granted a vote. And hence we welcome you to the only American city without the franchise. We greet you most heartily. Forty-one years is not a great while, and yet it marks most wonderful strides in the life of a race just that long ago emancipated. You represent that race and that growth. Forty-one years from serfdom to Convention Hall in Washington, with every profession and trade and business and every such representative is indeed invaluable. We welcome you as the representatives of a people aggregating ten million souls, who make an annual contribution, of nine hundred million dollars to the productive wealth of this nation, and who have contributed twenty-three thousand millions to said productive wealth during the past forty-one years. And, better still, this vast volume of money has found its way into our own home market and found its channel for circulation in our own America through our own banks and merchants, and hence aids largely in the swelling of our national wealth and giving added glory to the prestige of our country and the lustre of our flag. You are solving our problems by securing ant developing homes and making them healthful and attractive; of building churches according to modern architectural plans; of organizing and erecting schools, academies, colleges and universities, and training our youth in lessons of duty and responsibility and how to live up to them. You teach the duty of respect for law, and those who exercise authority. You would reduce the number of those who make up the criminal records, and save the race from such records made by those few, compared with the many, who seemingly are indifferent to the welfare and honor of the rest of us. You come to say "this way out," and we follow where you lead us, so long as your leading brings satisfactory results. We are seeking for higher ground—a level so elevated that the very air is impregnated with hope and cheer, and where the sordid and malevolent find no abiding place. We "Builk today, then, strong and sure, With a firm and simple base; And ascending and secure, Shall tomorrow find its place. For the structure that we raise Time is with materials filled; Our todays and yesterday Are the blocks with which we build." You come to us chiefly from the heart of the South, and you come in vast numbers. Your work is interdenominational. You have found that, after all, we are of one race and constitute one people. What concerns the Baptist or the Presbyterian is of equal value to the Methodist or the Episcopalian. Our interests are identical and indivisible. We are one in all, and all in one. The thing which concerns us in one church concerns us in a degree in all churches, and hence our universal doctrine of "one Lord, one faith, one baptism." Denominational lines dwarf into insignificance when we face the great problems which confront this nation affecting ourselves, and which can never be fairly settled until they are settled right. The lines which you follow are the lines along which the right must be successfully made, as he who laid down these lines made them the basic principle of the great church which He founded. In this great gathering, therefore, "In essentials there must be unity; in non-essentials liberty, and in all things charity." A traveler on the outskirts of London on a very foggy morning as he journeyed to his place of business saw an object approaching. He in terror cried out, "Bebold, a monster!" Approaching nearer, he exclaimed, "No! a man!" And coming still closer in ecstacy of soul, he declared "No, it is my brother." In your labor of love and self-sacrifice, you find that we be brethren, and by the exercise of discretion and wisdom we will soon have the world say of us truthfully, "he is my brother." We are journeying as in a labyrinth oppressed with self-distrust, but you come to give us hope and comfort, and cheer us on the way; come to calm our fears and assure us "It is better further on." You come to say "Courage, brother, do not stumble." You advise that we keep on the sunny side of life. We are here to take counsel of you and we guided in large measure by your instructions. You come to emphasize the assurance that "Happy is that people whose God is the Lord," and you would urge everywhere that this Lord be our God. We accept the profiler of your help from the South, the West, the East, and the North, as you assemble here in quadrennial meeting to point the way of duty in order to reach a high destiny. We are waiting and watching. We are discouraged oft, but never undone. We listen to the wails and laments of the forlorn and hopeless, but we persistently keep away from the slough of despond. Our faith looks steadily upward, and dawn, even now, heaves in right are the moon has stranded her crescent on the early breakers of the morning. The Week in the Society TO SUBSCRIBERS.

Cousin Lear is fixing to go to New Yerk. Iam sure we shall be lonely and I shall spend much of my time singing 41 Am Thine’,” laughingly said Miss Ontop. Her looks and movements indi- cated that she was not anxious to part with the friend of her cousin, Mrs. Trooman was glad to receive a letter relative of her son's musical suc- cess and she was doubly glad to know “that he would soon be home with her. The entire household took on ap air of new life. The place was always kept in the most faultless condition,.but now the young man was coming home to stay and her daughter was coming front abroad on a visit, Mrs. Trooman was willing to have the very roots of the massive oaks painted if such would pro- duce a good effect on the leaves. There was not one thing to be done and yet John, the nian-servant, had topmake om that he was very, busy all the time “fix: ing.” . “No doubt the young man is very great,” quajntly surmised John to his wife, “and my little Joolla has been away so long I spects she will grow outen our liken in a short time, with her foren frills and egukashun. I spects she done forgit she was Inglish bred an born, for lier ma say how she writ her name in Jermon.” ‘Mr, Levi Trooman was given a royal reception and no one except Lord Bal- timore himself ever looked more stately than the young man just returned.” | “Yes, I am here to stay and cheer ‘your life and add whatever I can to my sister's happiness and I think John and his wife need a rest, too, so we will get younger help to do the work and the old servants can bess,” said Mr. Trooman without taking a breath, “My dear child,” said his mother, ‘it is time for the train to arrive and your sister will be disturbed if there is not some one to meet her. She will not’ know what to do.” « “Miss Juliet knew her brother instantly and after langhing and crying for joy she began to talk of her trip abroad. She reached home"just as she began to tell of the” sheet music and its mysteri- ous sender? : Exersthing looked new and strange to; her and the meeting of mother and daughter was very pathetic John and his wife joined in the welcome greeting to Miss Trooman, “for is she nor pretty and gracious?” remarked John-hali to himself and to those about him. > After Miss Trooman had been home sufficiently 10 be rested invitations were sent to many persons to attend her first reception. “The first name of the cut-of- town guest mentioned by Miss Trooman was that of her friend and former school- mate, Miss Bettic Ontop, and yet Miss Trooman was expecting her friend at any time, for she had already written toy her asking her to come and spend some time with her. The name of Miss On- top was new to Mrs. Trooman, for no mention of it had been made by her son. He was prepared for the surprise which he ‘knew would follow when Miss Ontop realized that he was the brother of the school companion, of whom there had béen so much talk. “Come, Levi, yout must go with me and meet my friend,” said Miss Troo- man. : “My dear sister, you should have told me sooner, if you can wait until I go to my room and arrange something I will go,” was his reply. “I must be off, it is so near the time for the train to arrive and then it mat- ters little as the depot is not far,” and in a few moments Miss Trooman was in the waiting room of the depot. At the appointed time the train pulled in and among the first passengers to get off was Miss Bettie Ontop After the usual formalities which must follow the meeting of two friends who have been separated for any length of time, the baggage was sent on and the ladies fol- lowed, Mrs, Trooman was very glad to meet, ee Bee OP Ree Bates peel Biatni Seige Cee ee ee Ree: as it had promised. Such was the reason given’ for the delay while the real cause had been withheld. The firm could not have been in better shape, but information had reached the firm of the indebtedness of the Ontop family, how much no one could tell. . Be it remembered that Mr. Lear On- top had never heard of the trouble his parents had with his cousin's property nor did he know anything of the deed of trust which had been given on his own home to clear the title of that of his cousin, The Jaw firm was of the opinion that Mr.-Lear Ontop knew all about the mat” ter and for that redson the senior mem- ber said that it was a dangerous step to take and a risk to run. “Young men often bring ruin to themselves, their family and all concerned when “placed in a position-of trust having at the same time a family debt to be cancelled.” The plans of Mr. Lear Ontop were upset and the hopes of his parents blight- ed. Neither one of Mr. Lear Ontop’s parents made any reference to the debt when told by their son of his disap- pointment. They gave him words of encouragement and said in due time he would get the desired place. ‘Mrs. Ontop was a brave woman and did not lose hope because her pathway was not clear at all times, but Her hus- band became disheartened and his health began to fail. Every one who had known his brother, who had died broken hearted, said that Mr, Lee Ontop ‘looked as if he was soon to follow to‘the great unknown, but none knew the cause for his bad health, The doctors said that they were powerless to stay the inevita-.| ble, it was simply a question of time. Miss Bettie Ontop returned home af- ter being informed of the state of her uncle's health and had her* friend, Miss Juliet Trooman accompany her, She decided that her ancle was un- dergoing some tecrible mental strain, but said nothing to the folks about her. Her morning hours were spent in reading and talking to Mr. Ontop and quite un- expectedly one morning he mentioned | his dead brother's name and said, “My dear child, when I am gone you will have cnongh for yourself and my poor wiie.” z “While our boy was at school,” he continued, “we wanted to make some im- provements, so we borrowed an amount of money to cover the expense and now that he has failed to get the expected position I do not sce how we can repay the sum.” He did not tell her that the money was borrowed to clear her prop- erty of all debt. Miss Ontop at first felt that she did not hold the place in his affections that she thought she should, but bracing her- self against such feelings she kissed him aad ashed him to state the amount of | borrowed money. The two decided that | the amount could be taken from what | had been left to Miss Ontop by her |, father, She was of age and could do as | ‘he liked with her own. The money had | been on interest and could not be touch: |, ed while she had been a minor. | The following day Miss Ontop went with her uncle for a drive and when | they returned all arrangéments for pay-! ing off the debt had been completed, with the understanding that neither Mrs. Ontop nor Mr. Lear Ontop should know anything of the busifiess. The improvement of Mr. Ontop's health was 2 mystery to the doctors, | Mrs, Ontop, and all who knew him. Mr. Ontop could not keep the action of his niece a secret; he told his wife what had been done in the presence of his niece and the three solemnly declared | that Mr. Lear Ontop need never know one thing of the debt. : The footstep of Mrs, Ontop was quick- er and she appeared to bé growing younger each day and all said it was be- cause her husband was getting better and would soon be restored to his for- mer good health. Mr, Ontop had one secret and he dared not divulge it to any one, not even his wife. He wanted to see the day when his niece and his son would be wedded and yet he knew that stich a day- would never come. He and kis son looked with favor on such an act, while Mrs. Ontop and Miss Bettie, herself, said such a thing could never be. —_-_- —e - eae . ‘ PETES ce, A, Aap ea * AGELESS FORE EE . : CBaccynts 9%. aR sea fae res EES aS ESR REM TRE FON tO el ates ok tN ae Megs segs 8 Se Aes. ee ee Oa ee aS / “7 oS 2p MR MET LR Tee) [Re ee EE . fas 3 MO ay PRESS | ee Bee ee EE eel fee : be. oy Bee’ RS . oe Bo: ee aaah : eee BREN a as a sg erga See ‘hs 2 *, Se COPE 0 SS Beg eee ok: 7 C 4A eEae8 ae et, ; BS, Big Rites ic Sess sate 5 a oo os ign! boss we JB 4 eet <ReS ee a SR Oe peta tht NPs er eae Be Smee Ne 8 RM ’ Berea a a ec = Spee eee GE hea tS as ia eT Ee AS sR otis Race SS ee, Recent a per ES .

Washingto—The Yon Steuben statue commission, of which Secre- tary Taft-is chairman, has awarded to Mr. Albert Jaegers, of New York, the order to execute a bronze statue of Baron von Steuben, major general and Inspector general in, the contl- nental army.” * Congress appropriated $50,000 for the ‘statue, whiult ts to be erected at the northwest corner of Lafayette park, In this city, and conforms in size and general tyre to the statues of Lafayette and Rochambeau already in place in that rark. Seven German-American sculptors were Invited to ‘enter a competltinn last summer by a committee compris- ugh i se THE BARON VON STEUBEN STATUE ing Secretary Taft, Senator Wetmore and Representative McCreary. The Fesult of that competition was that the committee selected the models of Albert Jaegers. In the accepted model Gen. von Steuben appears in. the famillar cocked hat and a long, full, all-em- bracing cloak, as though facing or enduring the hardships. of’ the rigor- ous winter campaign at Valley Forge. He stands squarely facing the ob- server In an attitude of power and dignity. Slightly leaning with bis left hand upon the sword, he is rep- Tesented as inspecting military ma- neuvers. His personality, though quiet and simple, Is essentially mill- tary. The sash he wears Is remln- fscent of his previous service as an officer of Frederick the Great. Flanking the statue at the base of the pedestal are two chaste allegor feal groups. One of these represents Steuben’s life work, “The Training of the American Army.” It is worked out In an ideal composition thorough- ly Greek in feeling, showing an ex- perlenced warrior instructing: youth in the use of his sword. The group on the other side Is a de- parture from the customary symbols of paying tribute to our heroes, and represents America teaching a maid- en to graft a branch to Steuben’s memory into ber growing tree of fame. In the design of the entire mont ment the sculptor, with his associate architect, T. R. Johnson, consulted Cass Gilbert, the well-known New Yorit architect. They took Into spe: cial consideration the location of the monument and the general scale of the other monuments In Lafayette Park and adapted the design to the classic tendency of the time. The monument will form an {mportant addition to the artistle features of the clty and will be In harmony with the grand scheme of the development of Waghington proposed by the park | commission. PLAN A GIGANTIC DRYDOCK, Largest Structure ‘of Its Kind to Be Erected on Puget Sound, Washington.—Plans for the largest and best drydock in the world are being preparéd in the bureau of yards and docks at the navy department. ‘The last naval appropriation act con- tained provision for a dock to cost $1,250,000 to be constreted at the Bremerton navy yard, Puget Sound, Washingttn. This amount Is larger than ever heretofore appropriated for a dock and the new dock will when completed be able to take {n the largest battleship elther In course of construction or in contemplation. ‘The location for the dock has already been selected at the yard and borings are now being made to learn the depth of the foundation. It Is to be a concrete dock of the latest pattern and the materials will be purchased on the Pacific coast if practicable, ‘The dock 1s to be so constructed that it can be lengthened if vessels of greater length should be butt tn the future, It will be 37 fect in depth, which will provide for the docking of any vessel that can be bullt unless some unknown system of building is developed. The greater depth of the new dock Is also designed to meet cases where a vessel has been injured and draws much more than the or- dinary depth on account of the in- gary. Profitable Sunflowers. The sanflower crop 1s one of the most profitable harvested in Russia. ‘A good crop is worth, as It stands to the field, $25 an acre. The seeds are sold by the farmer; then the mer- chants salt them and retail them. At every street corner in Russian pro- vinelat cities are stands and peddlers with baskets, selling to the passers. by the salted product of the sunfiow- er, which forms a favorite food. HISTORIC STRUCTURE AT CO. LOGNE, GERMANY IN DANGER.

The ceatral portal of the cachesr:1 was Immediately closed. Since then great blocks of masonry hase fatien away and more serlous danage is feardd. A commit- tee of amhitec:s was simmoned and scaffolding e.ccted. Front this the architects mace an exhaustive ex- amination .aad discbyered that the masonry of both the chlef entrance and the south entrance is loose and has crumbled to such an extent that the two yortals were in danger of falling, Should this have occurred the damage might have been enor- mous. The facades have been shored up and the work of restoration will be at onee begun. Rain is believed to have hastened the crumbling, but the architects blame the German Roman- esque builders of the Thirteenth cen- tury, for the columns are found not to be solid pillars, but pllasters or Tiers, Of these at least 400 blocks are found to be loose. Cologne gathedral {5 almost as well known In the United States as In Europe. It took over 600 years to complete, largely because of the neg: lect and apathy of the church authorl- “Ues In the three centurles preceding jthe-nlneteenth. The cathedral is ac- knowledged to be the finest plece of Gothic architecture in the world. There have been modern critiés, who, while conceding {ts beauty and term- Ing it a noble and impressive example, still declare it disappoints because the compass had been too much for the creative genlus. The cathedral stans on the site of a previous structure built in §14, but burned down In the twelfth century. In 1238 the present fe rh a hy vent fae ! ages al cathedral was begun. The cholr was finished in 1322, the nave in 1390 and the south tower in 1447, Then came centurles of neglect. In 1796 the French army used the cathedral to store hay in and also stripped the leaden roofs in order to make bullets. Jn 1823 an attempt was inade to renovate and complete the structure, but little work was done until 1842, when the work was seriously taken in hand, The flnal touches were giv- en In 1880 and on October’ 15 of that year the completion was celebrated by a service at which the kalser, William I, was present. The building has cost bver $10,000,000. The cathe- dral Is 440 feet long and the famous spires, the highest in the world, are 528 feet. The central portal Js 93 feet high and 31 feet wide and the south portal 38 feet high and 18 feet wide: These are the two portions at present In Imminent danger. In shape the ca- thedral 1s a cruciform basilica. There are two choirs, the eastern dedicated to St. Peter, the western to St. Mary. Surrounding the choirs are elght chapels. A feature of great beauty ts an external gallery around the apse. ‘The reputed bones of the legendary sages kings of the east are preserved in°® golden shrine im one of the chap- els, which are used as the cathedral’s treasure vaults. The chapels also con- tain the tombs of several of the arch bishops. The narrow, crooked streets, con- taining houses of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, have been oblit- erated from the neighborhood of the cathedral, which now stands, reveal- ing all its beauty, in the center of a fine, open space. Some year or two ago It was hu- morously stated in the German -press that Mr. J. Plerpont Morgan was ne- gotlating for the purchase of Cologne cathedral, desiring to remove it bod- ily to the United States to take the place of the Anglican cathedral of St. John the Divine, now slowly build- Ing In New York city.

As. the country became fitted up with set- tlers, rival stage lines were organ: ized to handle the ever Increasing business. At times the rival lines cut rates and endeavored to outclass the other in time between Chicago, Galena, Peoria, Rock Island and other points [to the gouth and west, and it was not uaustal in the 40's and ‘50's to see a double decker coach come dashing into town with four horses on the dead run, change horses and start out again as fast as they came tn. ‘The’ old-time coach has passed from sight and almost from the mem. ory of man.

Kansas City, Mo.—Jesse James, son of Jesse James, the Missourl outlaw, is now a fullfledged lawyer, He passed @ successful examination be- fore the state board of examiners and has been enrolled {i the courts of this state as an attorney at law. In a class of 37 Jesse James stood first. His average in all branches was 91 per cent, Jesse James 1s a self-madé man. He was handicapped as few boys are. The son of an outlaw, he was left an orphan at six fears of age, without money and with a bad came to lve down. Soon aiter the burlal of his father his mother came to Kansas ‘City and made a living for hersel and her two children by sewing. Jess ‘went to school until he was 12 year: old, when he decided that he was ok enough to work for his mother. On¢ Sunday he saw the following adver tisement In a newspaper: © “Wanted—An office boy. T. T. Crit tenden, Jr.” Jesse answered the advertisemen the next morning. Twenty other boy: answered it, too, and Jesse was the youngest of them all. Mr. Crittender at his desk looked over the crowd o' boys and beckoned to the smallest o them. “What do you wish, my boy?" he asked. “I want to be your office boy.” “What {s your name?” “Jesse James, Jr.” Mr, Crittenden was surprised. I was the son of T. T. Crittenden, Sr governor of Missourl, who offered | reward of $50,000 for the capture dead or alive, of the outlaw, Jess James. To get this reward Charle and Bob Ford killed Jesse James. An now here was the son of the dea clerk. He studied at home. Hi mother was his teacher.

Crittenden hired the boy, and he testified that he was falthful. A few years later Jesse went tc work in Armour’s packing house as 6 of his father, and ft was published ‘It sold well. Whea he was 21 years old he bad $700 in the bank, and owned a cottage -in which his mother and sister lived. Then he opened a cigar store in the business center of Kansas City. At this perlod of bis life, when he was on the road to prosperity and ‘to an honored manhood, he was arrested for the crirs¢ of train robbery. It was cherged’ that he, with accomplices, had held up a Missourt Pacific tratn ‘and robbed the safe in the express car of $29,000, It was a dramatic train robbery, as much s0 as was any of the robberies of a similar nature which had made his father's name notorious throughout the world. He was tried, was ably prosecuted, and was acquitted, But the crimfnal charge against him was a serious set- back to his hopes and ambitions. It had taken all his savings to hire law- yers to defend himself, and the worry had caused his mother's health to fall. Soon afterwards she died, Jesse worked harder than ever at his business. He had a chance to sell out, and did so at a good profit. Then he opened a pawnshop and married. But he wished to be a lawyer, and he went to the night sessions of the law school here, and all day long he sat in his pawn shop reading law. He graduated with highest honors, bis preceptors complimenting him. Then he passed the legal examination re- ferred to in the foregoing. .He has sold out his pawnshop and opened a law office, and won thé first case in which he appeared In court. This was in defense of a man charged with the crime of burglary. Jesse re- gards this as a good omen, Jesse James Is 31 years old. He is worth $10,000, every dollar of which he has made by honest, hard werk. He has two children. He lives in bis own house. In all his life he never tasted whisky or beer or any other kind of intoxicating drink, He does not use tobacco in any form. He Is a devoted husband and father. He has no bad habits. He 4s scrupulous- ly honest. To men with whom he does business his word ‘s as good as a bond. JACKSON HOUSE AN OLD-TIMER Built Nearly 250 Years Ago In Porte |, Mouth, Ne H. Portsmouth, N. H—Some ot the “old-timers” In the way of houses in New England are in curlous contrast to the houses of today. This is true in particular of the ola farmbouses, with thelr sloping roofs reaching al- most to the ground and thelr great central chimneys so large at the base that In some of the old houses there are fireplaces seven feet across and five feet in depth. The old Jackson house here Is ono of the most interesting of these an- clent houses, This house was bullt! in the year 1664, and ts therefore al most 250 years old.

The old house has been the home of six generations of Jacksons, and it fs still In the pos- session of the Jackson family. The house fronts on the river, and it ts thought to be the oldest house in Portsmouth. The frame of the house {s of oak and the timbers for the sills project into tho lower rooms. | Longtellow once wrote: “All houses whereln men have lived | and died Are haunted houses.” This old. house {s haunted only by the associations of the long, long years since It was built. The imag- ination fs sure to be pretty active when one stands under these ancient roofs, and the only “ha’nts” ever seen abeut this old house are those one may see as readily with the eyes closed as open. To tread the very boards and open and close the very doors trod and opened by those who have been In thelr graves more than 200 years {s to glze one a strange sen- sation of nearness to them, and one of a very Imaginative turn of mind can easily peqple the old house with those who once lived there when It and America were young.

Walker is a native Georgian of a family who were slaveholders, it argues much for the breadth of this noble man for whom Bishop Williams and the citizens, colored and white, of the state seem to have such profound respect. I made addresses in the Union Baptist Church and also in Rev. C. T. Walker's. The citizens of Augusta bore my expenses to and from Abbeville and Miss Laney provided the carriage and Rev. W. J. White of the Georgia Baptist, acted as escort on a drive to see the city, from 10 A. M. to 3 P. M. which was concluded at Haynes Institute with dinner with Miss Laney and her faculty. Georgia's prophet, R. R. Wright, is not without honor in his own home. The children in all the public schools I addressed tell you at once his message of long years ago sent to the people of the North was, "We're rising." Surely everywhere this prophecy is fulfilled as one sees the prosperity and business enterprise of the negro and particularly in Augusta. The magnificent printing plant managed by Rev. White, the excellent school facilities for the education of our youth, the various business enterprises conducted by colored men and their recognition as letter carriers, etc., and their beautiful, spacious homes, owned, not rented, all force upon you the conviction that the solution of the race problem belongs to the individual and the immediate community; for at Abbeville, Columbia and other places visited by me colored men and women of sterling worth, working in interest of good citizenship among their race, such as is being well done by Rev. B. W. Williams and his wife at Abbeville, are recognized, appreciated and helped along these lines of usefulness. The fourth Sunday of my trip was spent in Columbia, the guest of Mrs. A. P. Dunbar.
