VOL. XXXII NO2 Rev. A P. Reccord's Trip South. Gold Mines, May 20. Springfield, Mass., May 29. Rev. A. P. Record, of Springfield, Mass., and one of the greatest divines in New England, went to Durham, N. C. last month and delivered the haccalaureate sermon to the students of the National Religious Training School. Dr. Record made a profound impression on the people in the South by his keen insight into the manner and customs and the frank way he explained himself. He embraced the opportunity of visiting every section of importance in the Southland, and on his return home this dietinguished minister said in part as follows: "The Race Problem and the New South," was the theme of the Sunday morning sermon at the Church of the Unity by the pastor, Rev. Augustus P. Record. The text was, I John i:1-3—"That which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we behold and our hands handled, declare we unto you." The discourse was as follows: The writer is speaking of the word of life and of its manifestation to him and to his fellow disciples. He bases his argument, not upon hear-say, but upon experience. He intends to speak only of what he had seen with his own eyes, and to report only what he has heard with his own ears. He knew that such first-hand evidence is demanded by thoughtful men and women. Any attempt to enrich it by drawing from less trutworthy sources only serves to weaken the argument as a whole and to make men all the more sketical. It is in this spirit that I wish to consider with you the new South and the race problem. It is a subject which I have discussed repeatedly from this pulpit. I have been obliged to come before you and report the results of other men's observation and to state the conclusions of other men's reasoning. To-day I bring you the results of my own personal observations and of such reasoning as I am capable of. These results may be no more valuable and the conclusions no more accurate than those of former years, but they will have the stamp of reality and I trust, of sincerity. For several years I have been interested in what is known as the race problem. I have been forced to the conclusion that it is one of the greatest problems now confronting the American people and that, for it, there is but one remedy—education. Because of this, I have urged you to devote the offering on Memorial Sunday to the support of schools for the M. colored people of the South, and each year you have responded with increased generosity. It seemed to me there could be no more fitting observance of a day set apart to commemorate the heroism and self-sacrifice of our Northern soldiers than to contribute our mite toward the completion of the task which they so nobly began. Nearly 50 years ago, with a stroke of his pen, Abraham Lincoln emancipated four and one-half millions of slaves from physical bondage. Henceforth there was to be no more trading in human bodies, no more trafficking in human souls. To-day we are called on by 10,000,000 of their descendants to emancipate their hands from idleness, their minds from ignorance, their souls from sin and superstition. When I was invited to take part in the graduating exercises of two of the schools to which we had contributed, I welcomed it as a privilege. I saw in it an opportunity to secure first hand information concerning the problem, itself, and the progress toward its solution. I wished to have something more authentic than the opinions of certain: Southerners who have been blinded by prejudice or passion, or of Northerners who spend a few weeks in the South and come back more rabid than the Southerner himself. I knew that there was a select group of colored people who had acquired education and culture and belonged to what might be called the "upper ten" of the race. I knew, also, that there was another small group who constituted the idle, vicious and criminal class and whose names became known only as they became principals in a murder trial or victims of a lynching bee. What I desired to know was the character, circumstances and condition of those, more than three-fourths of the entire number, who constitute the bulk of the race and upon whose pro gress, stagnation or retrogression, the future of the race depends. My first stop was at Hampton, the school founded by Gen. Armstrong soon after the close of the war, where 1,400 Negroes are being trained to become tachers of the race. Hampton is a community in itself. The students conduct a large farm, construct and repair the buildings, make many of the tools and appliances used by the school as well as for sale and best of all, through this work and the class room exercises that accompanies it, they grow in character, in intelligence, in industry and in thrift Boys and girls come from an atmosphere of mental and moral night, steeped in ignorance, idleness and superstition. They go forth to take their places in the community clothed with mental power, moral integrity and industrial skill. I was fortunate enough to arrive on the day that 100 members of the Chamber of Commerce of Newport News were inspecting the school. We were shown about the grounds and through the class-rooms and shops, where boys were being instructed in carpentry, brick-laying, blacksmithing and other trades, and the girls in dress-making, millinery, domestic science and various household arts. At noonday we the battalion drill, and students dinner, after which they gathered in the large hall adjoining the dining-room and sang plantation melodies. We then went to the president's house, where luncheon, prepared by the domestic science department, was served. The guests then adjourned to the museum, where representatives of the school described its purpose and methods, and several of the visitors were called on to give their impression of its work. These speakers, Southerners all, expressed their gratification and astonishment that such a great work could be carried on right at their door and they know so little about it. They acknowledged that here was a practical solution of the race problem. My next stop was at the National Religious Training School at Durham, N. C. It has just completed the first year of its existence. It grew out of the demand for an institution in which the leaders of the race could secure adequate training. A race can have no future, unless it can provide its own leaders, and, unless these leaders are carefully instructed in the fundamentals of morality and religion, they will be only blind leaders of the blind. The Negro preacher wields far more power over his people than any white minister ever exercises and only too often, with them, morality and religion have no necessary connection. The Durham school was founded to meet this need. In the Summer it holds a school for ministers, teachers, parish assistants, Sunday-school and settlement workers. During the Winter it aims to train young people for these positions, allowing them to pay their expenses, all or in part, by industrial effort. During this first year 140 students have taken the course, the number being limited by the capacity of additional buildings, this number can be indefinitely increased. The 25 acres of land upon which the buildings are erected were given by the white people of Durham, together with substantial amounts for the buildings themselves. The president of the school, Mr. Shepard, has the respect and confidence of the best people of the community. The community itself is a fine illustration of what happens when white people and black people dwell together in the unity of the spirit and the bond of peace. Here is the largest Negro insurance company in the world, a Negro bank, a business street occupied by Negro merchants, two factories conducted wholly by Negroes while one of the wealthiest Negroes in the community is a brick-maker, whose bricks are in constant demand by whites and blacks alike for miles around. On Sunday morning I visited a colored church in which there were 470 present at Sunday-school and a congregation of about 400. On all sides I heard tributes to the friendly relations of the members of the two races and of the willingness of the whites to help the blacks in every worthy endeavor to improve their condition. My last visit was at Livingstone College, in Salisbury, N. C. Here about 350 Negroes were being trained for lives of helpful service. They were receiving an education that would fit them to be farmers or mechanics, teachers or preachers, according to their ability and talent. The marching and singing, the junior and senior orations, could not easily be surpassed in any school, white or black, North or South. Here, also, there was the same evidence that the school had won the confidence and respect of the white citizens. There was a fair representation of whites in the audience, and one of the ex-mayors sat upon the platform. He told me that the school was working a wonderful transformation in the students, and that no member of it had ever given the community the slightest trouble. The educated Negro affords no problem. Between the better class of whites and the better class of blacks there was no friction or ill-will. My experience at these three schools, each different from the other two, has but confirmed the conviction stated at the outset that education affords he only effective and permanent solution of the race problem. There is no color line for the man who has made good. After nearly 50 years of blundering we are at length on the right road. If the idle and the worthless who congregate in the vicinity of hotels and railroad stations, and from whom the average Northerner de- Continued on page 4 THE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE UNION OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. PROF. W. G. PEARSON, of Durham, N. C., and S. G. S, the Royal Knights of King David. PROGRESSIVE MEN NO HOPE FOR NEGRO History of W. G. Pearson MAN WHO HAS BEEN A SUCCESS Durham, N. C., May 29. The first 15 years of his life he were spent on the farm; the next five years were spent in the tobacco factories. During these years, from 10 to 21, he attended county public schools on an average of two months a year. He also attended night school the last five years and worked in the factory during the day. At the age of 22, he entered Shaw University at Raleigh, N. C., with $17.50, the savings of one year's work. His parents being poor and unable to help him, he had to leave school after four months, but he was not discouraged. He saved enough during that year to re-enter the University at the beginning of the Fall term. At this point Gen. Julian S. Carr thought he saw something in the struggling youth and agreed to pay his tuition, which he did for four years, and in 1886 Prof. Pearson graduated with honors from the University. In the same year of his graduation he took charge of the village school, and two years later was elected principal of the City High School, which position he is still holding. The present enrollment of his school is 860, with 18 well equipped teachers. Beside the literary course, they have departments of domestic science, art, millinery and woodwork. These departments are well equipped, and when work is turned out, it equals that which comes from any factory. The work which is done in the woodwork shop, equals that which comes from the factories in Michigan. Aside from his school work, he has founded the Mechanics' and Farmers' Bank, established Whitted Woodworking & Manufacturing Company, of which he is president. He is also president of the Durham Broom Factory and manager of a fraternal organization known as the Royal Knights of King David. The Royal Knights of King David, the fraternal organization of which he is manager, is one of the greatest Negro organizations in the world and is doing an immense business in the Southern States. He has worked every hour of his life and has made a very nice little fortune of $10,000. Prof. Pearson, thus striving onward and upward, did not forget the poor around him. Seeing some were scarcely able to get the necessities of life, he founded, September 24, 1883, in the city of Durham, N. C., this great fraternal organization, which has $15,000 at the back of it, and $5,000 has been placed with the Insurance Commissioner to protect every member. The Royal Knights of King David is a chartered secret institution and has its signs, grips, passwords, jewels, etc, and can be sued. No person can have an excuse as to the joining fees, which are $2.50, being too expensive. The monthly dues are 25 cents. The object of this great institution is to unite, as well as protect and aid each other. The Board of Directors are the following well-known men: J. S. Pearson, Durham, N. C; John M. Avery, Durham, N. C; Rev. J. C. Cox, Cheraw, S. C.; John Merrick, Durham, N. C.; W. G. Pearson, Durham, N. C. May success always crown their efforts for good. Read The Bee. What They May Expect SOUTHERN DEMOCRATS VENOM RESOLUTION PASSED THE HOUSE MAY 26. No Hope for the Negro, if Democrats Win. The clerk read the resolution as follows: Resolved, etc., That the provisions in the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation acts, approved June 17, 1910, and March 4, 1911, making appropriations for the Capitol police, are hereby amended by reducing the number of lieutenants from 3 to 2, by reducing the number of privates from 67 to 33, and by reducing the total appropriations for the Capitol police to such sums as may be necessary. Mr. Langley, Mr. Speaker— Mr. Kangley. Mr. Speaker. The Speaker. Does the gentleman yield to the gentleman from Kentucky? Mr. Roddenbery. I do. Mr. Ruddemery. I do. Mr. Langley. Mr. Speaker, I would call the gentleman's attention to the fact that when the Republicans are administering, the law it does not require a resolution for them to keep soldiers on the roll. They do it anyhow (Applause on the Republican side.) Some of them were appointed, I am told, on this police force when the Republicans had control of it. Let me call the gentleman's attention also to the fact that the Republicans have enacted into the statute law of the country provisions giving preference in all branches of the public service to the ex-soldiers and ex-sailors of the country. (Applause on the Republican side.) Mr. Rodddenbery. I am glad of the gentleman's statement. If they pursued that policy, go to the Post-office Department, go to the War Department, go, if you please, into the Treasury Department and see sitting at the desks there, standing at the doors, and filling the places able-bodied, sleek-faced, strong Africans holding easy jobs which old, enfeebled veterans deserve. (Applause on the Democratic side.) Why give to these old, feeble men who fought 50 years ago the arduous task of night police duty and day police duty? Why do you not give them some of these sitting-down jobs? (Applause on the Democratic side.) Speaking as a son of the South, with no lineage that connects me with those who led the Union side 50 years ago, the day is not now and never has been south of Mason and Dixon's line when Afric's son could displace a Caucasian in any office under any Democratic appointment. (Applause on the Democratic side.) You can no longer deceive the old soldiers or American people with your cunning demagogery in order to control the Southern vote in your Republican conventions. We had accepted the amendment; and we would have carried out the purposes anyway, if it had never been in the bill. (Applause on the Democratic side.) JOHN C. DANCY AT UNION- TOWN, PA. Decoration Day Address—Introduced by the Mayor. Uniontown, Pa. May 30. Dr. John C. Dancy, of Washington, D. C., former Recorder of the District of Columbia and one of the most distinguished colored men of this country, was given a great ovation when he rose to speak. On suggestion of Dr. W. B. Anderson, the Chau tauqua salute was given the speaker. The address of Dr. Dancy was a magnificent effort, abounding in eloquent language and inspiring sentiment. He is a polished speaker and a man of great power and talent. In beginning he referred to the time 45 years ago when as a small boy on the plantation he heard the master say to young Dancy's father, "You're as free as I am," and this boy, along with thousands of others, started in the path of freedom, opportunity and responsibility. Many achievements and triumphs have been made by the colored race in 45 years of liberty, sacrilege, hope and increasing faith in God. An entire people without learning, opportunity nor money have risen from a condition where only one per cent. could read their own names until now 55 per cent. can read and write. Forty five years ago there were only five colored physicians in the United States and now there are 500. The number of lawyers has increased from three to upwards of 1,000. Then there were not five school houses for colored people in the South, and now there are 22,000 colored teachers in the United States instructing 3,500,000 and there are 35 colleges. Now there are 11,000,000 colored people and they are adding over $900,000,000 annually to the productive wealth of the Nation. Dr. Dancy said that the greatest thing in the Nation is the sentiment in favor of education. This Naion has cultivated the idea of schools for all. It says to every boy and girl—do, think, achieve everything within your grasp. The American school is the greatest influence toward giving power honor and glory to the American Nation. The speaker referred to Memorial Day and expressed the undying gratitude of his race to Lincoln, Grant, Sherman, Sheridan and all the patrons who fought to preserve the Union. He said the colored people owed a great debt to them. His talk was full of hope and encouragement and he pleaded with his people not to lose heart, for the same God will continue to direct affairs. Calm words, great thoughts, unflinching faith, have never striven in vain. He said in closing: "Rise, wake, be on your guard; prepare the child for his work and desty and support Dr. Kincaid in this undertaking. Hold up his hands and help and sustain him. Let the good white people co-operate, too. This work means our hope, our glory. I visited Jumonville to-day and I've never seen a better proposition anywhere." Following Dr. Dancy's address Dr. W. B. Anderson endorsed the work and gave credit to Dr. Kincaid and also to A. P. McClure. Dr. Anderson then made an appeal for a collection, and a nice sum was received.—Union-town Daily Standard. BIG REAL ESTATE DEAL. Dr. J. W. Morse Purchases a Fine Sitk for His Drug Store. Among the papers recently filed in the office of the Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia, was a deed from Thomas H. Smith et al. to John W. Morse, conveying in fee original. Lot 1, in Square 117. Although the consideration set forth in the deed is nominal, as a matter of fact the purchase price paid by Dr. Morse exceeded $10,000. The premises purchased consist of a large three-story brick building and adjoining lot now used as a coal yard, on the northwest corner of 19th and L Streets, Northwest. After making extensive improvements the first floor will be occupied by Dr. Morse as a drug store, and the commodious flats above will be rented. The remodeling will be after plans carefully drawn by Architect Pittman, and when completed and this well-known drugstores moves in about the first of October next, the Morse drug store will be one of the modernized up-to-date drug stores in the city. Wait for the grand opening which will be announced in the columns of The Bee. In the purchasing of this valuable real property, Dr. Morse secured the legal services of Attorney W. C. Martin. AUDITOR TYLER PRAISED. Navy Official Warmly Commended for Efficiency and Economy. Special to the Amsterdam News. Washington, D. C., June 1.—Auditor Ralph W. Tyler has been warmly commended by the Treasury officials for practical suggestions made to the commission in efficiency and economy, looking to improvements in the methods in vogue in his office and the consolidation of co-related divisions. The Secretary has ordered his suggestions adopted. The papers have been mistaken about Mr. Tyler's tenure of office. He has none. He holds his place "at the pleasure of the President," and no reappointment is necessary. He will have served four years in June, and may serve on 40 years without further action, if the Chief Executive does not wish to make a change. Mr. Tyler will remain throughout President Taft's term if he so elects, and maybe longer. Former Register Vernon is still in Kansas City, Kan., at the bedside of his aged father, who is yet in a precarious condition. President's Gift. President Wm. H. Taft has just sent to Dr. Booker T. Washington, of the Tuskegee Institute, his personal check for $100 as a contribution toward the Endowment Fund of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute. DEVOTED TO GENERAL INTEREST (By Miss G. B. Maxfield.) Mrs. W. A. Johnston, wife of the Chief Justice of Kansas, and Mrs Genevieve Chalkley, of Lawrence, Kan., have been appointed by Gov Stubbs to visit the State institutions. It will be their duty to visit institutions and make suggestions for their improvement to the Board of Control. The recently completed New York Library, erected at a cost of nearly $12,000,000, on a plot of Fifth Avenue ground worth $20,000,000, has been dedicated to its office. The library houses 1,200,000 volumes, and its galleries contain many notable works of art. Dr. George C. Hall, of Chicago, Ill. has been elected a member of the Trustee. Board of the Inner-Church College, Nashville, Tenn. There are but five colored men on the board, the rest composing the aristocracy of the South. Winthrop Robinson, the only colored member of the graduating class of Cambridge, Mass., has been awarded a scholarship to Amherst College. a company capitalized at $30,000 has been incorporated for the purpose of manufacturing the Billips scrubbing brush, which is an invention by a colored man. Senator Robert L. Taylor, of Tennessee, will be the principal speaker at memorial exercises to be held in the Confederate section of Arlington Cemetery. In addition to the annual unveiling of the Southern cross, an elaborate musical program has been arranged. President Taft sent congratulations to King George of England on his 46th birthday last Sunday. The English ruler also received a great number of costly gifts. Vice-Chancellor Walker, of Trenton, N. J., sustained the validity of a deed, by which Mrs. Sarah Wam Hendrickson, of Wainford, transferred all her real and personal property to John Wilson, a Negro servant. The estate consisted of a plantation mill, the old homestead, and about $30,000 or personal property. The 103d anniversary of the birth of Jefferson Davis was observed in several of the Southern States and by the United Daughters of the Confederacy. There is to be a reunion of the Blue and the Gray in Atlanta, Ga., next October. The occasion is to be the dedication by President Taft of a monument commemorating the names and services of the organizations that helped to create a friendly feeling between North and South after the civil war. The Government Hospital for the Insane will not be subjected to a Congressional committee. Apparently the opinion of the members of the committee was unanimous in favor of dropping the case. The Interdenominational Chinese Missionary, George Ivan Chu, has begun work among his countrymen in this city. The centenary birthday of Mrs Harriet Beecher Stowe, whose book, "Uncle Tom's Cabin," was one of the greatest factors in destroying slavery, will be celebrated by the colored ladies in this city this month. Scott Joplin, the colored composer, has a new opera in three acts called "Treemonisha." There are 27 musical numbers, 230 pages to the score of the opera. The cast provides for 11 persons and a large chorus. The New England African Methodist Episcopal Conference in Newport, R. I., states that colored Americans are discriminated against in the United States Navy. The Secretary of the Navy was informed by the conference of the existing discrimination, and an investigation was requested. Sheriff W. C. Daniels, of Macon County, Ala., in which Tuskegee Institute is located, reports that although there were nearly six thousand people on the school grounds during the Commencement May 25 last, he did not make a single arrest At the Commencement exercises of the Normal School No. 2, Elmer Ellsworth Brown will deliver the address. J. C. Napier, Register of the Treasury, will deliver the address for the Armstrong Manual Training School, and Representative E. L. Taylor, Jr., of Ohio, will address the M Street High School. Rev. Corrothers. Rev. S. L. Corrothers will no doubt be the next bishop of the A. M. E. Zion connection. Dr. Corrothers has been returned to Galbraith Church where he has been for 10 years.

Many Versions of a Type of Dress Now In Season. Black Satin Still Popular and Rivaled by Dark Blue, With Poplin, Serge and Taffeta in High Favor. Silk street costumes have been coming into their own since the weather relented, and the models which appeared in the importing establishments two or three months ago are now, with more or less modification, in evidence on the street. In the fashionable luncheon and tea places and wherever women gather in the daytime. Lines and light summer things are still kept in the background, but the silk coat and skirt or coat and frock furnish a happy medium ground 'twlxt wool and linen. Black satin of various weaves and surfaces is still favored for the so called tailored or semitailored costume, though the flood of cheap models in this material has damaged its prestige, and to be truly chic nowadays a black satin suit must be peculiarly well made of beautiful material and must have some original note to set it aside from the ordinary model. These requirements naturally are associated with high prices, and the woman who has little to spend will be wise to have her suit in some silk other than black satin unless she is fortunate enough to know of a tailor not yet arrived who can copy an imported model cleverly from a sketch and charge moderately for doing it. Very dark blue rivals black among the smart silk suits, but it must be the extremely dark tone if it is to be in satin, for any save this corbeau shade has a tendency to look cheap in a satin tailored suit no matter how good the material may be. With some of the other silken stuffs a brighter tone is less objectionable, though the darkest blues are most favored for tailoring purposes. One may group under the satins all of the satin finish crapes and even the ```markdown ``` plain satin surface foulards. Satin delaine has lost popularity with the arrival of the hot season, but there are other satins of high finish and rather more firmness than the charmeuse and its class which are liked by some tailors. A silk poplin, very supple and charming of texture, yet with enough body to lend itself well to tailoring, is beginning to make itself a place among taller silks, and we have seen a few admirable costumes in this material. Surah or silk serge, for many makers call what is practically the old time surah by the latter name, is making a strong bid for popularity and is made up into attractive frocks and three piece or two piece models, though the tailors complain that it is difficult to handle. There are, of course, many forms of the silk serge, ranging from a twill almost invisible to a heavy diagonal, but the surah weave is a medium twill and is extremely good looking either in plain one tone colorings or in black or color with hairline stripes of white. A very lightweight moire with an irregular and only vague water design is used for silk coat and frock costumes, but not extensively, and much more often in combination with serge, chiffon, etamine or other material than alone. As for taffeta, it is receiving recognition once more, but is seen more often in changeable colorings and质ant models reminiscent of 1830 than in more severe and conventional tailored costumes. It seems probable that next year will see this silk more fully reinstated, and prophets insist that all silks are to take on more body and firmness, but that cry has been heard so often in the last few years that one hesitates to accept it as authoritative, and it will be difficult for the fashion makers to uproot the feminine fancy for the sublime stuffs. STYLISH ETON JACKET. Stunning Little Garment That Can Be Made at Home by Following Directions Given. The average home dressmaker will look at the back of this stunning little Eton jacket and wall that she can't be expected to copy. a Parisian design with American fingers, and untrained ones at that. True, the design looks complicated, although the effect is simple, but the work is not nearly as hard for an amateur as the task of making a plain Eton jacket back set stiffly and at the same time snugly to the figure. This is the way to solve the problem: Fit a good lining of nonpliable material, such as first class satin or percale (never use cheap lining for A an outer garment), and then sew the pieces of blas cut striped suiting over the lining. The stripes meet in the middle of the back and are outlined by two folds, each with its stripes running in a different direction. A plain piece of goods in black, green or blue is added afterward beneath the edge of the fold. If no satin trimming appears in the costume this old shaped piece may be omitted. The folds make a good solid covering for the lining and are enriched by braid or embroidered silk ornaments in the spaces, so that the jacket back has no chance to pull out of shape. If one does not have at hand the desired braid or embroidery ornaments a ring or cobweb design may be worked around a covered bottom with coarse silk and make a rich trimming, or else a plain band of material may be inserted between the folds. This style of back for a short jacket is not only highly decorative and handsome in itself, but also gives a slender effect to the figure, which the plain back of a short jacket cannot give. The Parasol. Now is the time for the summer girl to get her parasol in order for the coming season. Several new shapes in these pretty things are being worn at present, together with a great many of the conventional styles which have been in fashion for several seasons, and if there are a couple of these in the collection which have good sticks and ribs a girl will do well to have these recovered. If a parasol is simply soiled and is of light color this may be satisfactorily cleaned with French chalk, or if the spots cannot be eradicated a very pretty change may be wrought by means of a transparent velling. If the upper half of a silk parasol is in good condition and the lower half badly solled a charming effect might be given by applying a wide border of some contrasting color or design. Wide black velvet ribbon makes a pretty border to any parasol and is at the same time extremely fashionable. Cement That Sticks Here is a cement that will stick or anything and forever. Take two ounces of clear gum arabic, one and one-half ounces of fine starch and half an ounce of white sugar. Reduce the gum arabic to powder and dissolve it in as much water as it would take to make one and one-half ounces of starch fit to use. Dissolve the starch and sugar in the gum solution; then put the mixture in a vessel and plunge this vessel in boiling water, allowing it to remain until the starch becomes clear. The cement should be as thick as tar and should remain so. It can be kept from spoiling by dropping in a lump of gum camphor or a little oil of sassafras or cloves. It will hold glazed surfaces, rocks, minerals, etc., perfectly. Mixed Flowers It is wiser, if you care at all for the uniformity of color of your garden, not to buy your seeds in mixed packages. A mixed package usually contains every color in which the flower grows, whereas three or four packages of plain colors would give you sufficient variety and yet insure harmony of shade. If this would give you more seed than you need you can combine with one or more other persons and thus have a sufficiency for each. A whole neighborhood could combine in this way and save money without interfering with variety and difference of choice. FANCY·APRONS. Suggestions For Pretty Gifts to Girl Friends. Dainty Little Decorations Required on Many Occasions, at Informal Teas, For Instance, and Come In Handy at Any Time. Which of us does not at some time pour tea or do embroidery or help in the lighter sort of housework? And if such fortunate—or unfortunate—mortals there be among us let them remember their friends not so situated. For each of these occasions requires a dainty apron, and here, ready made by the hand, if you will use your imagination and take a hint from the illustration, are some aprons of just the desired variety. Flowered dimity makes up very nicely and needs very little ornamentation. Just a simple hemstitched and tucked ruffle and a shield shaped pocket and nothing more is required. For an apron apparently more elaborate, but really quite as simple in make, there is the combination of embroidery edging and insertion in the same design. Tile ruffle is formed of the edge, and the lawn or thin linen of which the apron is made is doubled where it is jointed. The insert follows exactly the lines of the outer edge, and the pocket is of this same edging. Embroidery bought by the piece is capable of transformation into the prettiest aprons. The apron in this case is round, and the ruffle is of embroidery edging in a corresponding pattern. This is perhaps the easiest of all the aprons to make. Virtually the same thing as in the second apron is done in the first one illustrated, except that this time lace is used instead of embroidery, giving an even daintier effect. A touch of ```markdown ``` novelty is given by the hand embroidery inside the lace circles. If desired a short strip of machine embroidery may be bought and used here instead. All the aprons so far have been cut on the same pattern. The crossbar dimity shows one with a blb, which connects with the apron in such a way as to give a front panel effect. The three points at the bottom of the apron are another "dodge" worth noting. A combination of lace and lace-like embroidery is used for the inserted lines, and the edging is narrow. A touch of ribbon adds a great deal to the attractiveness of an apron. A little round one of sheer linen, with its linen and lace ruffle and its oddly arranged lace insertions, is very attractive. A bow of ribbon on either side and strings of ribbon run through beading give it a touch of real charm and distinction. Many other aprons there are—those which are cut in one piece and fasten over the head, those which add to their bibs ruffled shoulder caps, with straps behind, and others. But these suggestions will be amply sufficient and will leave room also for one for a friend who loves such pretty things as tasse. Embroidery Needles. Exercise care in the choice of needles for embroidery. The best is a needle with a smooth eye that allows the silk plenty of leeway and will not pull or rough it. Be sure your needle is adapted to the size of the silk. A too small eye cuts and frays the silk, gathering it in a thick lump which must be forced through the fabric. A too large one, on the other hand, shows the holes and makes the work look as if it had too few stitches. In general, when working on the usual materials a No. 9 or a No. 10 needle is best for double silk, No. 12 for fine embroidery with a single thread, No. 7 for thick floss, twisted embroidery silk and outline silk and No. 3 for rope silk. In shading, where a number of colors are used alternately, have a needle for each color and use the different needles in succession, instead of unthreading and threading again as you come to each new color. Can Be Made by Any Handy Girl at Low Cost if She Will Use Her Brains. There is no reason why a girl with a bit of ingenuity cannot have one of the scarfs which are so popular this season without the expenditure of a lot of money. She can make a striking and unusual one by choosing uncommon material and color combinations. One lovely scarf was made of two and one-half yards of rose fish net lined with black chiffon. The chiffon was hemmed on the right side, and the edges of the hem were finished with a narrow gold onework braid. A girl rummaging through an old chest found two yards of velvet in a shade of magenta which seemed perfectly impossible. She lined it with black messaline bought at the remnant counter and bordered it all around with a deep black silk fringe from a dolman that had once been the pride of her grandmother's wardrobe. The result drew glances of admiration wherever she wore the handsome scarf. Another girl lined two yards of sea green messaline with peachblow pink messaline, bordered the scarf with white marabou and caught the ends together with heavy green silk tassels. A royal blue chiffon remnant was lined with black chiffon dotted with the royal blue in dots the size of a dime. Natural marabou was used to finish the edges, and the ends were finished with smart pendent bows of black velvet ribbon. SKIRTS OF THIS SEASON. Though They Are Scant, the Extreme Tightness Prevalent During Winter Has Disappeared. Though the lines of the new skirts are still scant, the extreme tightness to which we have become accustomed is no longer the thing. So cleverly have the tailors concealed the plaits that it is only until the skirt is worm does one see the advantage of the new modes. The swinging panel is the most popular method of using the plait, while many of the new skirts are also finished with inverted plaits at the sides to give grace and ease while walking. The two piece skirt is a new arrival this season, and it is chic, indeed. It is cut with only front and back gore, buttoning at either side. This model is popular for the short outing skirt. In the dressy models one still sees the tunic. This is a graceful fashion which bids fair to remain with us for some time to come. Children's Bompers. It was a thoughtful maker indeed who made those little rompers of old fushioned crinkly seersucker, for seersucker, as most women already know, is famous not only for its very excellent service, but likewise for the fact that it needs no ironing. And to save ironing where children are concerned is a blessing indeed, as all mothers will agree. These rompers may be purchased already made in the shops, or mothers who have the time can easily make them. The ready-made rompers are of blue and white, pink and white or tan and white stripes and sometimes have bands of plain white for trimming. The Survival of the Kimono Slesives. It is strange how faithful Dame Fashion is to the kimono sleeves, which still appear on the latest models, and we have gone back to the very high waist effect. In most of the new skirts there is a loose plait at the back, which hangs down to varying lengths, but generally reaches the hem. This has a charming effect and takes away the extreme severity of the plain tight skirt. The train which has made its appearance is either cut quite square or is very narrow indeed. Hint For Traveler: One girl, who was something of a traveler, has for her trunk a large sheet of blue muslin. This is put in the bottom of the trunk before the packing is started. When everything is in it is folded over the top of the clothes and firmly plinned with safety pins. With this precaution the girl is sure to find her garments as smooth at the end of a trip as at the start. Diet and exercise are the only safe methods to employ to decrease the size of the bust. Of course they will both have an effect on the entire body. To reduce a double chin, practice the following exercise: First, stand erect in military position; place the hands lightly on the hips, fingers forward; drop the chip slowly on the collar bone, then throw the head back with a quick, even movement that is not a jerk, but yet puts all the muscles into quick play; repeat ten times. Second, turn the head quickly to the right till the chin is just over the right shoulder, then back again; repeat ten times; then turn the head to the left in the same way; repeat ten times. Do not tire the muscles of the neck, but gradually increase the number of exercises daily until you can practice each one about fifty times without after discomfort. SAILOR STYLES. Cool and Becoming Fashion For Summer Girls. Materials of All Kinds Land Themselves Readily For Making These Simple Dresses, Decorated Effectively With Braid and Buttons. From Jack tar come the sailor fashions that are cool, becoming and practical for the summer girl and are equally becoming on land and sea. Moreover, they combine simplicity with decidedly copyable features that should commend themselves to the home dressmaker. Here are a few good suggestions that can be worked out easily. A dark blue linen dress is a combination of kimono blouse with sailor fashions. The collar and undercuffs are of white plique. The ends of the revers are square, and the collar in the back is squared off. A soft blue silk girdle holds in the bodice and skirt, while buttons decorate the front of the circular skirt. Henrietta is made quite simply for the cool days in summer. The bodice is simply decorated with a broad square collar, button trimmed. A piping of royal blue silk gives a brilliant note at the neck. Buttons and braid to simulate buttonholes trim the skirt. Long coat sleeves with turned back cuffs finish the little sailor frock. It is not surprising to find that sailor fashions have influenced the separate . blouse. Foulard in coin spot design is used for a little bodice that is very attractive. The border of darker blue is fashioned into a square collar and is used for the straight bands on the cuffs. A bow of the foulard is used to finish the blouse at the front. For an afternoon dress-white serge is used with the ubiquitous touch of black satin. The sailor dress is made with the extended shoulder seam, the black silk plecing out the comfortable three-quarter length sleeves. A soft girdle of silk trims the bodice. The black sailor collar has its front modified by a bib of serge. Braid and white silk crocheted buttons are used on the skirt. There is a slightly raised waist line in this model. Black and white striped serge is used in another sailor dress. A square collar is slanted off at the front and tied with a black tie. Straps and buttons are used on the front of the blouse. The sleeves are straight and comfortably short. There is a tunic effect on the skirt, secured by a double fold. Braid and buttons are again used as decoration. Foulard is the means to the nautical end in a linen model. The collar, cuffs and trimming are of spotted silk. A little chemisette of linen is trimmed with torchon lace. Last of all, the coat suit and the sailor hat are typical of the sailor girl. Blue serge is used for the jacket and its square collar at the back with long revers. The low fastening is under two bone buttons. Made of cream serge, the skirt is comfortably short and full. At the side gores there is inset a gusset to give a spring that characterizes the new skirt models. There is no age limit when designing the sailor dress. Young girls and their mothers are wearing the sensible, comfortable frocks that are capable of exploitation in either linen or serge in any colors. Try to number one of these favorites in your summer outfit. Some housekeepers object to the buttoned scallop on embroidery because it frays in washing. This can be overcome in several ways. The surest is to buttonhole a second time over the purled edge when the scallop has been worked and cut out. Another method is to run the outline of the scallop with machine stitching before buttonholing or in cutting leave a narrow margin and turn back under the scallop and hem to the material. If this is too much trouble at least wash the linen before cutting out. The material shrinks and is much less likely to fray. Where the entire piece is not washed the embroidered edge can be dipped in lukewarm water for a few minutes, then ironed dry and later cut out close to the purled edge. COVERING THE FURNITURE. In Protecting It From Dust In Summer It Is Easy to Have Room Look Pleasant. The housekeeper who in winter time rejoices in her beautifully upholstered furniture in summer time flees from its stuffy presence and hies her to the store where linen abounds. Nothing can help more to cool the appearance of a room than crisp, slippery linen furniture slips. Delightful results can be attained at only a small expense, for material costs but from 25 to 75 cents a yard. For hard service plain brown Holland linen or linen jute is most practical, but often the heart of the householder years for something more ornamental. Then come vast quantities of chintz and gay cretones from which she may choose. As she is wise, she will, of course, choose a material which will harmonize with her wall paper and floor covering. For this purpose a favorite is the material which has a white or deep ceru background and patterns in old pinks, olive green and faded blues. This harmonizes with almost any room, whether the woodwork be white or mahogany. One attractive room with white woodwork had slip covers made of an ivory white material sprigged with a rather conventionalized flower in the popular mulberry shade. As for the cutting and sewing of furniture covers, authorities say it is no longer permissible to pipe the seams with a plain color. Seams are hidden and the covers fit snugly now, all of which means that the housewife must be possessed of skillful scissors and cut her slips with phenomenal accuracy to make them fit well, else she must hire a professional to help her, which doubles the cost. However, if well made these covers last several seasons. WARDROBE TRUNKS. They Are Very Expensive Affairs, but Good Substitutes Can Be Made at Home. Every girl who has seen a wardrobe trunk instantly appreciates the advantage of having one of them, but as such pieces of luggage are so expensive as to be beyond the reach of most of their admirers the best course is to try to provide a substitute with the aid of an ordinary trunk and the exercise of some ingenuity. One girl partially solved this difficulty by having the tray of her square trunk cut in half and one section of it nailed permanently in position after dividing it into compartments for lingerie and shoes. The space below the tray was then equipped with three hat holders tacked against the sides of the trunk, and into the adjoining floor space was fitted a large flat box with a hasp fastening, which was divided to hold handkerchiefs, gloves, vells and neckwear. The half of the trunk lid which did not collide with the remaining portion of the divided tray was then equipped with hooks for a dozen garment hangers and made a satisfactory wardrobe for gowns and frocks of thin or medium weight textures, as they did not crowd one another unduly. The Vogue of Glass. Cut glass and crystal are immensely popular this season for table accessories. Glass butter knives are a decided novelty, and so are the jam and mustard spoons of glass. The old style saltcellars, all of glass with no silver ornamentation, have returned, and they are lucky who possess any old heavy Bohemian glass saltcellars, jugs or bottles. LOVELY NEW RIBBONS. ```markdown ``` Ribbons just now occupy an unusually important place in the world of fashion and are taking on a beauty and originality of design probably never equaled before. In the gown shown here one of these new ribbons has been used to trim the skirt, and two widths of it joined together form one sleeve and one side of the corsage. The very open embroidery, of which the overskirt and the left sleeve and corresponding side of the corsage are made, is also something that has been recently added to the resources of the dressmaker. at Eye St, N.

Mr. Davis deals with the sub- jeet-in a philosophical: manner. He takes up every phase of “Jim Crowism” and quotes the letters written to him by ex-Judge Ter- rell, Prof. Kelly Miller and oth- ers. His argument seems to be ngainst ‘the Howard Theater, which he claims was built exelu- sively for the colored people. Ie nivises the colored people not te patronize it because it was set uside exclusively for the colored people. The faet of the matter is, the colored people will not erect a theater themselves, and as a corporation composed of white men has, what is best for the col. ored people to do? There should be no color line drawn in any. thing, but as there is, what must the colored people do? The au. thor puts up a strong argument. which is very interesting and ar- gumentive. : Mr. Davis is not only a good writer, but a good thinker. His book is worth reading, which can be purchased for 15 cents. He deals with long developed economic, climatic and inherent qualities of the two races, making diserimination possible. Among ather things, he cites dangers of white commercial in- vasion of segregated Negro com: munities. He maintains that the submissive and servile spirit to partonize discriminating _enter- prises facilitates the Negro’s op: pression, and that it has largely heen responsible for his elimina- tion from and the prevention to his entering many labor markets requiring manliness and union- ism. The tendency of the times, he claims, is gradually to elimi- nate him, for the same reason, from/all race usefulness in Amer: -iga, 7 . He gives.a caustic presentation of letters from Prof. Kelly Miller and Judge Terrell. He urges some sweeping boy- cotts. Mr, Davis concludes his book- let with the following sentiments: ®Afro--\mericans, the appeal is to you to bestir yoursélves. By Your voluntary humiliation te Support discriminatory enter. prises you facilitate your own op: pression, disappoint your bene: factors and invite the enustic crit. - itisms of your enemies that poisor Public Sentiment. To instance William Benjamin Smith says “Why, if education could lift the Negro to the Caucasian level to what, pray, in_the meantime would it lift the Caucasian him, self? We repeat, and the repeti tion cannot be made too emphatic there is no hope whatever of or- ganic improvement of any race betterment of the Negro from any or from all extra-organic agencies of education or religion or civili- zation. Let us then educate the Negro, to make him a more useful and productive, or law-abiding ‘and happier member of the com- munity. But let, us not hope too much froth this education if we would not be bitterly disappoint- ed. * * * To us the Negro seems handicapped with an unde- ularly in the: commercial world, accumulates rapidly against him, as it were, at compound interest; and this is the seventh seal of his doom. * : OF discrimination against the Negro, he says: “Would any such discrimina- tion keep down the Anglo-Saxon! Would he not make by force his merit known?” x TEACHERS’ EMPLOYMENT RUREAR. Prof. Roscoe C. Bruce, Assist- ant Superintendent of the Public Schools, in charge of the colored schools, makes a novel, though most interesting and commenda- ble recommendation for an em- ployment bureau in his annual report. just printed. When you stop to reflect, such an institution might go a long way towards lo: cating many of our young‘ men and women graduates from the normal school. That the supply of teachers is greatly in excess of the demand, is evidenéed by the many capable young men and wonten in Washington _ to-day who are desirous of securing eni- ployment as teachers. The rec- ommendation is a wise one, and if put in force, with Washington's splendid schools, turning out many well equipped young men and women each year, practically all our graduates would be pro- vided*with schéols within a short time after thy finished. The Beo quotes Prof. Bruce's recom- mendation along this line, which is as follows: “As indicated in my report for 1907-8, the number of graduates in the regular course has aver- aged 35 since the extension of the course to two years. The class of 1909 contained 39 persons. But this supply is in excess of the de- mands of our school system. While reaflirimng my belief that the course should be lengthened to three years since there are stu- dents in plenty, and an additional Year would give each graduate a much better training, 1 realize that this view of the matier is not ikely to prevail for somme time. In the interim what shall+ be done? _ “Now, I am of those who would emphasize ‘the National. interest’ in the affairs of the District of Columbia. The Nation pays halt of the expenses for the normal school: is it not appropriate for the school authoritiss to facilitati by all reasonable means the dis. tribution of our surplus - grad. nates to city’ and town and rural schools, not. only of Maryland and Virginia, but also of the States lying farther south? 1 earnestly recommend the organi- zation of an employment bureav at Normal School No. 2 toaid om surplus graduates to meet the in- sistent demands of the New South for teachers of sound education and_ modern professional train: ing.” * IWHAT DOES IT MEAN? Some of the white people have gone crazy hecause the colored man is rising. What does it men? Race prejudices is on the increase and the only thing that ‘will climinate it, ‘sill be the in yasion of some’ foreign power. Then the colored man will be an absolute necessity. ‘The colored man seems to figure in everything. No matter how loyal he is to the Flag and his country, some Dem- ocrat will throw something to disarace himself. What does it mean? In_ the several executive departments you will see some of the most refined and highly educated colored clerks searegated. The chiefs o! the divisions are afraid to_ allow their colored clerks to sit with the whites, Why should we acknowledge our inferiority? Why should a race that has’ been once at. th head of civilization and will, be again, acknowledge its inferior: ity? The colored race asks to be let, alone and be permitted te point out its own destiny, In the late civil war of the rebellion th« colored soldier fought for a causé that sould give him protection The editor of The Bee is prouc of his people. He has never seer any white woman that he would tako in exchange for one of hi variegated roses. Our womer cannot walk upon the public streets without receiving an in’ sult from some white man. * But is he protected? Is he re. ceiving: that consideration that any other nation would give mer. itorious services to the deserving! ‘The black men of France are rec ognized for their merit. No mat- ter what the American colored man does, he fails to be given that consideration that he deserves. What does it mean? EXPOSE THE SHARKS. As the time for preparing for the next National convention ap- proaches, the cheap colored poli- tician becomes active. Already many of those who rebelled against Taft before’ the Chicago convention, and hustled out for Bryan. during the Campaign, are not, professing to be great’ Re- publicans. ‘The time of the grafter is near, and the cheap col- ‘ored politician is a. constitutional rafter. The Bee is preparing a list of the colored men who op- posed Mr. Taft, and who either flopped over to'get maney, or tried their hardest to connect, up with the Republican's campaign fund. after they found they could not work the Denrocrats any farther. And several af these men are res- idents of Washington, but for convenience, claim some State as their domicile. The Bee proposes to give the history of these men, and the part they played in the campaign of 1907. ‘The same fel Jows are preparing now to work both parties, as all grafters will do. They have no influence, n¢ constituency, and no_ principle The Bee will expose the sharks. THE DEMOCRATIC HOUSE. It is amusing to see. so amany Southern Democrats criticise the colored Americans. Ii another column of The Bee will be read with interest an excerpt from the Congressional Record, which should be read by all sensible peo- ple. In the course of his remarks, one speaker is reported to have said that he would not perniit Negroes to be seated in certain departments of the Government. of course, some Southern Demo- crats as those who are so sensitive ‘on the color question, come from the common people. No com- plaint against the colored man come from the aristocratic South- erners. The uneducated and il- literate classes of white people object associating with the best = of colored people. PREY JAMES IL LER. Tf there ever) was an_ honest man in the Christian pulpit it is Rev. James II. Lee, pastor of the Third Baptist Church. In_ The Bee last. week there was published a full report of the 25th Silver Jubilee of the anniversary of his pastorate of the Third” Baptist Chureh. The report shows that Rey. Lee has been honest, moral and upright in the_idministra- tion of his chureh. Ife has been a hard worker and he has ae- counted for every cent that ha: passed through his hands. The Bee has always had the highest réspect for this well-known di- vine, because he has been manly and morally upright. Dr. Lee The Bee congratulates you on the 25th anniversary of the pastorate at the Third Baptist Church. SCTIOOL CHANGES. | The Board of Edueation ap- pointed a new Superintendent of Schools to succeed Mr. Stuait. The Bee regrets the retirement o! this school benefactor. _ The teachers, both white and. colored, learned to loye him. The ap. pointment of Capt. James F Oyster meets with hearty ap: proval. There is no man who is any more popularwith the peo: ple. . ! Mrs. W. II. Harris: was_ap- pointed the successor of Mrs. Terrell. Mrs. Harris is a well-known citizen of Washington and a wo- man of ability. The Bee feels confident that. Mrs. Harris will give entire satisfaction as a mem. Ber of the Board of Education. MIRS. TERRELL RETIRES. Mrs, Mary Church Terrell re- tires from the Board ‘of Educa- tion. While she may have had her faults, she was a strong advo: cate of the public school system of this city. Mrs. Terrell was a fighter, and there is one thing The Bee admires, and it is a fighter. The Board of Education, so far as the colored end is con- cerned, is in need of a fighter. | Tt is hoped that her successor will be equal to the oceasion. PRESIDENT TAFT. It looks like the next National Reyiublican convention will re- nominate President Taft for the second term, and Vice-President Sherman will also come in for a share of honor. . BAILEY. Texas Bailey is of the opinion that he is as good as a colored man. He will convince himself before long. . Get a hustle. Time and tide wait for no man. These are dog days. That is, a fellow feels like “he’s muzzled when he can’t bita. And opportunity seldom knocks but once. . And when she does knock, you better get up and dress, | It is not believed thit Mattie ‘Lomax will hang July 31. | Perhaps there will be some har- mony in the schools now. The appointment of Capt. James F. Oyster turned out as The Bee predicted a few weeks ago. . The vacancy in the Haitian mission will not be filled for sev- eral days. Hg may be a lawyer. Tames H. Hayes, Esq., of the Virginia bar, has been favorgbly mentioned for the Haitian mis- sion. - Mr, Hayes is one of the most brilliant lawyers at the bar. ‘The colored people in this city are getting 2 move on them in business. | Race discrimination has had its effect. throughout the country. It has brought the colored brother closer together. | ‘The candidates for that Hai- tian mission continue: to tramp down the grass, figuratively speaking, in the vicinity of the White House, but no one has re- ceived the call yet. When some people become pos- sessed with the hallucination that they ate called to regulate the uni- verse, it is remarkable how silly they appear to Sane veople. Such hallucination is what the street inelegantly, though expressively, styles “smoking the pipe.” * _ The pee was misinformed when ‘it published in its news columns two weeks ago that R. W. Thomp- son had been transferred to the ‘Treasury Department on_the re- quest of Henry Lincoln Johnson. The Bee by mistake gave Mr. Johnson credit for accomplishing something. In this we were mis- taken. Thompson was transferred without assistance from the Re- corder. There is no truth in the report that Jaek Johnson has declined the Haitian mission. As yet Jack has filed no application, Tle’s one of the few that have overlooked the place in the rush of business The fifteenth of June will be a red-letter day in the history of Wilberforce “University. With the annual commencement. and the commemoration of tho late Bishop Payne's hundredth anni. versary. if will be memorable week at Wilberforte. Among the speakers of note will be Dr Booker T. Washington_and Edi. tor Ward. of the New York Inde- pendent. The Democrats had a splendid opportunity to fish for the col- ored vote when they assumed con- trol of the House of Representa- tives. but the best they would de was to throw out a hook baited with a couple of laboring jobs that white men did not want, to the colored brother. And_ now comes: Senator Bailey. of Texas who, in a speech last Monday night, said that the colored race was simply tolerated in this coun- try, and that they could ‘only re- main here so long as they ac knowledged their inferiority. We commend the speech of Senator Bailey to Bishop Walters, Prof Du Bois, Editor Trotter, and 4 few other colored Democrats some of whom have their habita in Washington. The colored race will never acknowledge its infer: iority to any race. Rae at ee ae ae ee ae Washington, D-C,, June 3, 1911. Editor of The Bee.

A IGOR. 8 Sere Se” a” eee Public Men And Things ee ee nn one a ter ane ey 1 am just about recovering after the strenuous meeting of Howard’s Alum- ni Association, at which the revolu- tionists thought they were doing the country, the race, and the association a service when ‘they canned Prof. Kelly, Miller as president of the asso- cition.- I've been to many an alumni meeting; in fact, have attended all since I was handed my sheepskin a |few weary years ago, but this last one, for shortsightedness, took the jsweitzer, and the bologna, too. When they get to introducing low comedy into the classic drama it will be about time to convert all first-class theaters into junk shops. When they get to introducing petty politics and’ envy into an alumni association, it’s about |time to disband, There were a num- ber of cheesecloth drigibles at that last. meeting who thought the asso- ciation had been honoring Kelly Mil- ler by electing him president, and so they concluded they would ‘put. the stop-watch on this honor race, Fun- ny jthey never stopped to think that Kelly Miller has been honoring the association right along by consenting to serve as president. When I saw Judge Atkinson leave in disgust, I hgured it was about time to adjourn sine die, but when I surveyed the glass of members who voted for Kelly Miller, and compared them with those who worked and voted aagiost him, I said to myself, and whispered to Kelly, “It's a victorious defeat.” yt Now, Dwight Holmes is a mighty nice man, a very clever fellow, but the revolutionists simply used him as’ 3 stalking horse. It was anything to jbeat Prof. Miller. Shelby Davidsor buttonholed a few iconoclasts to sup- port him for president, but there was nothing doing; they thought he would hardly unite the revolutionists. Prof Miller, who never played politics in his life, and who is as far above in- trigue as the “velvety kind” is above limberger, and who trusts every cho- colate drop as implicitly a if they were sunburnt angels, never suspect: mg that Dr. Wheatland was in sym- pathy with the revolutionists, put him m the chait, and the Doctor did the rest. The pity is that,many of the iconoclasts at that meeting were those who, at times, have been the object of solicitation ‘and beneticence at the hands of Prof. Miller. Of course, | expected Bob Pelham to be agains him, Bob is just naturally a social. ist, and must be “agin” everything bu |Bob. That's his one besetting sin | Outside of that, he’s all wool and ; ‘|yard wide.

She has an aw +] fully nice little husband who doesn’ -] worry about life so long as he can ge a cigar to smoke, and so long as peo ple will borrow money at lofty rate of interest. I believe Mrs, Harris wil make a good School Board member My advice to her, and I won't charg a cent for the advice, is not to plac “too high an estimate on that. bunc! ‘jof congratulatéry messages she ha: ‘|received. Most of those messages hero medals. Now I ain't charging 2 cent for this. It’s gratis. And I ain't Rot no wife, no son, no daughter, no cousin, no aunt, ndr no nothing to ask you to “pint” as teacher. . * 9. Now that Mrs." Harris is elected you will find a lot of flyblown con- ceits who will say, “I knew she was to be elected,”and “I was for Mrs. Har- ris.” Let me tell you, that's all guif. They didn’t know a ‘frazzling thing about it, and they didn’t do a frazzling thing for her. Mrs. Harris, just like a comet, shot into the board without anybody knowing wit. That razzie dazzle brother of her's did a little. but effective gumshoe work, and Mrs. Terrql, who had made up her mind to retire, favored Mrs, Haeris when the matter of a succescor was put up to her, and that’s all there was to it. If you don’t believe it, just ask the judges. Now just watch the “claim. ants of a crown” try to work the new member. But she will be next to her job, don't you fear. . set However, I.don't envy Mrs. Harris, I wouldnt have the job if it pad a thousand dollars a minute. There's too much hell in it. All those whe are passing Mrs. Harris a lot of Mexi- can salve right now will be sending her tobasco sauce just as soon as she fails to arrange for a new orbit for the planets. I'd rather go to jail for 99 years than serve a> a colored mem- ber of the School Board for 99 sec- onds in Washington. It is one of those jobs thar originated that pretty little “sentence. “distance lends en- chantment to the view.” os *. I met two or three new applicants for that Haitian job this week. They say Fred Moore, the heavy editor of the New York Age was over this week, and the rumor rolled down the Rialto that Fred feels he can fill the job like a pretty good size leg fills a_small size hose. But you know Fred is running the universe these days, and God couldn't spare him for a minute. HON. C. BASCUM SLEMP. The Watchdog of Anterican Indus- tries, Hon. C. B.

Good Work of School Teachers. ‘There was a large and intellectual audience present last Monday even- ing+in the lecture room of the M Street High School. The occasion was the presentation of “Dido, the Phoenician Queen” by the pupils of the M Street High School. It was a brilliant affair. \ Miss Lucille Calloway took the character of Dido, Queen of Carthage. This young lady with proper train- ing, will soon become a brilliant elo- cutionist. She read her lines well. Miss Esther Nutt, sister to Dido, was also good. Master Merrill Curtis is always good, and it was a mistake in not having him to take one of the other characters. His size or age should not be any bar to him taking any character. The participants were amateurs, it is true, but it could be pseen that they had master teachers pwho deserve credit for the possibilities of such a classic production. Prof. Glenn deserves credit for suck a production. It shows that, he is. and his pupils are masters of Virgil. The Aseumend Or ie ears the Greeks had be- sieged Troy, and on the oth they took and utterly destroyed that an- cient city. The inhabitants who had escaped captivity and the sword, wan- dered in exile to many quarters of the earth. Now the chief band of the exiles was led by Aeneas, son of Ve- nus and Anchises, and son-in-law of Priam, king of Troy. After many adventures of land and sea, Aeneas came in the sixth year to Sicily, where he wsa kindly’ enter- tained by Acestes, king of that land, and where his aged father died and was buried. Thence setting sail in the Summer of the seventh year, he approached the shores of Africa. Here ja violent storm argse which scattered and all but destroyed the Trojan ships. Aeneas, with a number of his companions, was cast upon a desert coast, where they passed the night in gloomy forebodings. In the early morning, Aeneas and Achates set forth to explore the land and came to the newly founded city of Carthage. Now Phoenician Dido, also, with a band of exiles, had fled from her na- tive Tyre, to escape the persecutions of her brother, Pygmalion, who had already slain Sychaeus, her husband, and to the land of Africa had she come and built her a city, even the city of Carthage. e And so these two, Aeneas, prince o! Troy, and Dido, fugitive from Tyre, now meet in distant Africa and live the tragedy which fate has held in store. .

Prof. Joiner’s Good Work. Wiberiorce, UV» June dS» I9IT. | Dear Editor: The following infor- mation may be of interest to your readers as showing the advanced steps taken in our institution: WILBERFORCE GETS AN_IN- CREASE. 7 Good Work of Superintendent Joiner for the C. N. and I. Department. After a stormy session the 79th as- sembly of the Ohio Legislature has just adjourned, Almost every. insti- tution in the State received a more or less severe shock, Wilberforce alone coming out without a scratch. There are 26 State institutions for which the Legislature was required to maké ap- propriations. Out of the 26, all but one suffered cuts in their estiinates for the next two years. On taking charge last Fall, Mr W A. Joiner installed a new and im- proved system of accounts for the school, and suggested a change in the method of submitting estimates for the appropriations, with the result that the appropriation for 1911 and 1912 almost doubles that obtained for 1909 and 1910. There are four educational institu- tions m the State for which the Leg- islature appropriates. Wilberforce i: one of these institutions. The threc white colleges rad their _appropria- tions more than cut in half, while the amount asked for Wilberforce was allowed to the last cent. The special appropriations amount to $91,220.09; the pro rata of the gen- eral levy due Wilberforce for the twe years will be $46,300. This, added tc the special appropriations, makes fot Wilberforce $137,720.89 for 19tt anc 1912. Some of the notable increases art as follows: The appropriation for 191 was $8,000, for 1911, $12,600; appro: priation for industries for 1910 wa: $4,000; for torr it was $6,417.85, bu probably the most important in crease, both as to amount and signifi jcance to the plant at this time is th Jincrease in the amount obtained fo |repairs and improvements, which ar badly needed upon the buildings an ‘|grounds. The appropriation for sucl purposes for the two preceding year was $1,800; the amount carried by th present appropriation for such pur poses is $18,000, or just 10 times th amount which was available for th || past two years. Many of the build .Jings are much in need ‘of repair, an ‘|much improvement on the ground 1] will be made possible. -| But the work has not all been don {fon the outside; every. teacher who i ,|now receising less than $75 per mont has been slated for an increase fo »| next year. ‘ .

For some years past I have had in mind to invite here from different parts of the world—from Europe, Af- rica, the West Indies and North and South America—persons who are ac- tively interested or directly engaged as missionaries, or otherwise, in the work that is going on in Africa and elsewhere for the education and up- building of Negro peoples. For this purpose it has been deter- mined to hold at Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, April 17, 18 and 19, 1912, a little more than 2 year from this time, an international conference on the Negro. Such a conference as_ this will offer the opportunity for those engaged in any kind of service in Af- ‘rica, or the countries above mention- ed, to become more intimately ac- quainted with the work and the prob- lems of Africa and these other coun- tnes. Such a meeting will be valua- ble and helpful, also, in so far as it will give opportunity for a general in- terchange of ideas in organizing and systematizing the work of education of the native peoples in Africa and ‘elsewhere and the preparation of teachers for that work. Wider knowl- edge of the work that each is doing should open means of co-operation that do not now exist. The object of calling this confer- ence at Tuskegee Institute is to af- ‘ford an opportunity for studying the methods employed in helping the Ne- ‘gro people of the United States, with a view of deciding to what extent Tuskegee and Hampton methods may ; be applied to conditions in these coun- ‘tries, as well as to conditions in Af- rica. | It is hoped that numbers of pcople representing the different govern- ments interested i Africa and the ; West Indies, as well as representa- jtives from the United States and the countries of South America, will de- cide to attend this conference, Es- pecially is it urged that missionary and other workers in these various countries be present and take an act- ive part in the deliberations of the conference. | It is desirable, in any case, to have aiy suggestions as to what might be done to make the work of the con- ference more helpful to all concerned. The names of persons who would like ito be present, with whom you are ac- {quainted,~ willbe appreciated, and |through You they are invited to be present and take part in the delibera- (tens of the conference. Those who come to Tuskegee prop- yerly accredited will be welcomed and jertertained as guests of the institu: \tion, and will be under no expense during their stay here. |. BOOKER T.

His wish was that a charming daughter of his neighbor, the Earl of Albemarle, should be the future Lady Lelcester. With her and her alsters he used to enjoy his morn- ing rides. One morning she came alone, and during the ride be asked, thinking to forward his nephew's in- terests, “Aine, my dear, how should you like to be mistress of Holkham?" “There is nothing I should like better,” she replied. “Then I shall send my nephew William to court you,” said the earl, glad that the fates seemed to favor his project. But the lady calmly and gravely answered, “I shall never be mistress of Hoikham on those terms.” “Why,” exclaimed the aston- ished old gentleman, looking the lady bard-in the face, “you don’t mean to say you would marry me!” “Yes, in- Geed I would,” was the answer, “and nothing I stiould wish better.” And as @ consequence the nephew did not suc- ceed to the earldom—London Chront- cle, és Perseverance. Timour, the great Asiatic conqueror, commonly known by the name of Tam- erlane, had extracrdinary persever ance, No difficulties ever led him to recede from what be had once under taken, and he often persisted in his efforts under circumstances which led all around him to despair. On such occasions he used to relate to his friend an anecdote of his early life “I once,” he said, “was forced to take shelter from my enemies in a ruined building, where I sat alone many hours. Desiring to divert my mind from my hopeless condition, I fixed my eyes on an ant that was carrying a grain of corn larger than itself up a high wall. I numbered the efforts it made to accomplish this object. The grain fell sixty-nine times to the ground, but the insect persevered, and the seventieth time it reached the top. ‘This eight gave me courage at the mo ment, and I never forgot the lesson.” + The Landscape Near Jerusalem. ‘The country about Jerusalem is es sentially a pale country. Indeed, I often thought it looked stricken, as if its pallor had come upon it abrupt- ly, had been sent to it as a visitation. T was not sorry that I saw It first under grayness and swept by winds. ‘The gtayness, the winds, seemed to me to emphasize its truth, to drive home its reality. And there was some- thing noble in its candor, Even na- ture can take on an aspect of trick. ness at times, or at least a certain co- quetry, a daintiness not wholly free from suggestions of artificiality. Tbe landscape in the midst of which Je rosalem Iles Is dreary, 1s sad; in stormy weather is almost forbidding. ‘Yet it has a bare frankness that ren- ders it dignified, a large simplicity that {a very striking.

Dixon was putting Frank, aged six, and Willle, aged four, to sleep with a bedtime story when she was wuddenly compelled to answer the doorbell. Hastening away with the in- tention of fmmedlately returning, Mrs. Dixon was detained by. a caller. The boys grew restless, Finally, running to the top of the stairs, where he knew his mother could get a perfect view of him, Frank used nearly ell his small stock of diplomacy in trying to attract bia mother’s attention without disturb- Ing the visitor. After several futile at- tempts at gesticulations he called out to a loud whisper perfectly audible to both ladies below, “Mamma, you'd better come up,” then in a most awe infpiring tone adding, “’cause Bill's none is com{s’ unwiped!” — Youth's Companion. ‘Tsthetan Penal Code.

The father sat by, a silent byt intensely In- terested spectator, while twenty-five ‘poor unfortunates recelred help. ‘The ‘doctor forgot his visitor while he bent his skilled energies to the task. but hardly bad the door closed on the last patient when the old man burst forth: “l thought sou told me that you were not doing anything!

Quiet Way In Which He Bullied the Theatrical Managers. Tlere are the methods which Dumas the elder and Victor Hugo employed when they had a new play to offer to the theater. Dumas would write to the director of the Porte St. Martin: My Dear Friend—1 shall bring you on Monday a play in five acts | shall need Mile. Geérges. Mme Dorval. Bocage, Locke roy, Provost and five new scenes. This extravagaive would warm the director, who would put off the pro- duetion of the play till better days. ‘Then Victor Uugo ‘would appear dnd shyly @bury a manuseript out of Lis pocket» He would agree to everything.
