The Most Distinguished of the Race Honor the Negro Leader of Colored Democracy—Brilliant Array of Ladies Present—Prof. Hershaw Toastmaster—Mr. Archibald Grimke Makes the Welcome Address—Bishop Walters Responds—Other Speakers, Etc. If there ever was a man recognized as their leader and representative, it was fully demonstrated last Tuesday night in the banquet hall of the Young Men's Christian Association, where fully 250 300 of the race's most representative men and ladies paid honor to Bishop Alexander Walters, the leader, of Negro Democracy. It was a cultured and refined class of people. The occasion was a non-partisan banquet and reception to Bishop Alexander Walters. There were representatives from all parts of the country, who came to attend the inauguration of President Wilson and do honor to Bishop Alexander Walters. The guests were received in the lobby of the great Y. M. C. A. building by a reception, committee of ladies, consisting of Miss Thomasive Corrothers, a very sweet and prepossessing young lady; she was beautifully gowned in canary brocade crepe meteor with pannier of draped chiffon, with touches of deep blue, embroidery rhinestones; Miss Florence M. Barker, a very entertaining miss, wore blue chiffon overdress with blue messaline foundation, with white lace. Miss Florence P. Chase wore white chiffon and valencnes lace with pink rose buds.

WOODROW WILSON, OUR NEW PRESIDENT. WOODROW WILSON, incoming president of the United States, takes up the reins of government at a moment when big obstacles clutter the national highway of progress. There is the ditch of the Mexican situation ahead of him. The road is made dangerous by a narrow turn over the Panama toll question. Rocks labeled schedule this and schedule that litter the widest part of the thoroughfare. President Wilson must indeed be a careful and thoughtful driver. As he takes office the whole nation asks, "How will he make out?" He has promised to curb willful waste in national products and human lives and to restore the republic to the original intention of social, industrial and political justice for all. T.

MARSHALL of Indiana, who takes office as vice president for the next four years, is a fitting mate for Woodrow Wilson in coping with the industrial and social problems that confront the new Democratic administration. He is a thinker and a doer. As governor of his state he has made a fine record. It is needless to enumerate or dwell upon his splendid qualities as a clean cut, forward looking, high type of American manhood. He goes to Washington accompanied by a faithful, intelligent and fine wife, who has always stood by his side in private and public life and will in her new atmosphere continue to be a strength and a comfort to the new vice president of the United States. ENTERTAINSVISITORS INAUGURAL WELCOME CLUB. Holds Big Reception at Convention Hall. The Inaugural Welcome Club held its reception at Convention Hall last Thursday evening. The occasion was the most brilliant in the history of the organization, and the large number of visiting friends were well pleased with the cordiality of their reception. The success of the undertaking was the result of the miring and united efforts of the members. The dance program began promptly at 9 o'clock, during the intermission of which a most sumptuous supper was served to every one present. The costumes worn by the ladies were superb.

The Negro side of Houston is now all in a flutter of justifiable pride over the completion of their own Carnegie library, which will be dedicated on the 4th of March. It has cost Mr Carnegie $150,000, the colored people of the city paid for the well-located lot $1,500, and the city government, as a condition, required by the donor of the building, allows from now on an annual appropriation of $1,500 for its maintenance, besides giving from the Houston white "Carnegie" several hundred duplicate volumes. Houston and all the balance of us away off up here in North Texas are additionally proud of the fact that all the architectural plans and the supervision of this building of beautiful Grecian design, is the work of W. Sydney Pittman, of Washington, D.C., who is the most prominent Negro in his chosen sphere of labor in America. Mr. Pittman is a son-in-law of Dr. Booker T. Washington, and with his family, is now making his home among us here in Dallas. He is a young man of fine Christian caliber, whose creed seems to run like that of another young man of the race who used to live in Alabama. He thus made his profession of faith some years ago: "First: I believe in God. Second: I believe in myself." A creed like that also becomes every young man of whatever race. Visited The Bee Office. Among the visitors to The Bee office during the week were: Bishop Alexander Walters, Attorney Charles Curtis of New York, Mr. James A. Ross, Attorney Albery Cozy of New Jersey, Mr. Ralph Langston, Attorney Francis H. Warren of Detroit, Mich., and many others. PARAGRAPHIC NEWS Important News Happening of the Week DEVOTED TO GENERAL INTEREST (By Miss G. B. Maxfield,) There is a court especially for girls in Chicago, Ill. The court is to shield girls brought before it. The police department is to be investigated: Major Sylvester has been asking for more men for several years. President Wilson sets forth the course of the administration during the next four years and appeals to the patriotic duty of all citizens to help to carry out his policy. Joseph P. Tumulty, private secretary to President Wilson, is one of the youngest secretaries who has served there. Dr. James F. Bourne, after a hard fight, is now a member of the Board, of Education of Atlantic City by a decision manded down by the Supreme Court of New Jersey. The objection to Dr. Bourne was because he was a colored man. An American Indian can see at least one-tenth farther than the average white man. Mrs. S. S. Muson, who was the first woman to cast a vote in the State of Oregon, is a survivor of the Whitman Massacre of 1847. The Haytian Mission has a dozen candidates. There are but a few places for colored men. It is believed that President Wilson will allow the colored men to hold the present places awarded to colored men and go the Republicans one better. Rishop Walters will organize colored Democracy. He will treat all men fairly. Connecticut has offered Dr. Friedrich Franz Friedmann $1,000,000 for "a seriim that will cure tuberculosis, which he claims he can cure. When Mrs. Wilson entered the White House as its mistress it was just 113 years since Abigail Smith Adams, wife of the second President of the United States, took possession there. President Wilson will make all applicants in office refer their claims to the head of the several departments. Colored Democrats have the most abiding faith in President Wilson. They must get together if they would succeed. The inaugural balls were numerous this week. The citizens' ball and two others were the extent of the public festivities. An executive order issued by Ex-President Taft placed Matt Henson under civil service. Henson accompanied Perry to the North Pole. For the first time, it is said, two white men will be executed for the killing of a Negro, in Birmingham, Ma., in April. The new Carnegie library in Houston, Texas, for colored people was dedicated last week. W. Sidney Pittman was the architect. The building cost $150,000. Bishop Alexander Walters was the center of attraction last Tuesday night. The Cabinet officers will seek new homes in this city. The more conservative Democrats will oppose "Jim Crow" legislation. President Wilson will name Judge DeLacy Judge of the Juvenile Court. Senators Jones and Dillingham and Pomeran have been appointed to investigate the police department. British airman fell 5,000 feet at Geoffrey, England, Wednesday night and was instantly killed. He was demonstrating the merits of monoplane with the view of selling it to the British government Prof E. B. Henderson is an all-round athlete. He is always successful. Southern Educator's Meet. Miss Ella M. Boston, president of the Teachers' Association of Alexander County, left the city last Wednesday for Norfolk, Va, having been sent by the association and school board to represent the public schools of said county in the Virginia State convention, held in Norfolk the 27th and 28th of February. Through the courtesy of Dr Lucy Moten, principal, of Normal School No. 2. Miss Bessie Mossell was in charge of the primary department, assisting the regular teacher, Miss F. V. Johnson, who was in charge of the school during Miss Boston's absence. The convention was a grand suc- OUR PERMANENT GAINS AND THE THINGS WE HOPE TO ACHIEVE IN THE FUTURE. Bishop Walters spoke as follows: Mr. Toastmaster, Ladies and Gentlemen: Believe me when I say that I have not sufficient language at my command with which to tell you how much I appreciate this expression of your confidence and esteem. Cold, indeed, must be the man who could not be moved to a sense of gratitude for a testimonial such as you have given me tonight. I am reminded of the truth of the saying, "After the darkness comes the dawn" It is pleasing to realize that after the criticisms and misrepresentations of the dark days of the past we are now at the dawn of a brighter day for our cause, a day of encouragement and commendation. Again permit me to thank you one and all for your expressions of esteem and good will. And now to the subject of the hour: Our Permanent Gains and the Things We Hope to Achieve in the Future. To realize the number and the magnitude of our past achievements will require a little more than a cursory glance at our gains. In this presence it is needless to speak of those gains which are the natural results of contact with and assimilation of American civilization, namely, Christianity, the English language and the American ideals as expressed in its Declaration of Inde THE BUDDHA BISHOP BISHOP WALTERS BISHOP WALTERS I desire to begin this subject with the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation by the great Lincoln and its confirmation by the enactment of the thirteenth amendment to the Federal Constitution. We delight to honor the men who wore the blue, the men who were instrumental in securing to us and to our posterity this priceless boon of liberty. All honor to Mr. Lincoln, occupant of the White House, Lincoln, who held securely the reins of government. All honor to Grant, Sherman, Logan, Butler and Sergeant Carney on the field of battle. All honor to Sumner, Stevens, Morton, Julian' and others who did noble service in the hall of Congress. All honor to Garrison, Phillips, Douglass and others who did herculean work in the creation of abolition sentiment. Great praise is due the Republican party for its constructive legislation in the interest of the black men. God forbid that I should ever say a word that in any way might reflect upon the heroes of the Grand Old Party of the 60's and 70's. While it is true that the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Federal Constitution have not been enforced throughout the length and breadth of our own land, still it must be apparent to the thoughtful among us that the forging in the Magna Charta of this country the sacred amendments and so welding them as never to be separated is a great and permanent gain. The fourteenth and fiveteenth amendments were enacted primarily to help the white man keep the Republican party in power and secondarily to benefit the Negro. This legislation was far in advance of public sentiment in the South and some other parts of the country. The creation of public sentiment in favor of justice to the Negro is the work of the hour—this is illustrated by the story told of a brave standard-bearer during an engagement of the late Civil War. It seems that the standard-bearer had gone in advance of the regiment and had planted the standard on the ramparts of the enemy, the commanding officer demanded that the standard be brought back to the retreating regiment; the standard-bearer replied. Nay, I will not bring back the flag; let the men come up to the colors. So our cry today is "No repeal of the amendments; let the nation come up to them." First. These laws were passed when the Nation was in svmpathy with the Negro, whom it had recently emancinated. Second. The North, East and West were sensitive and sore over their losses. Their noblest sons, lay dead on Southern battlefields and millions of treasure had been spent in the prosecution of the war, hence they were in no mood at the time to con- pendence. iliate the South. Third. The Republican party desired to be perpetuated in power and therefore needed the votes of Negroes to preserve what it had gained on the battlefield. I doubt very much whether such legislation could be passed today, hence the enactments mentioned above are permanent gains. The New Industrialism Our next permanent gain is the new industrialism of which Mr. Washington is the chief apostle. While it is true that the black man had been an industrial factor in the production of the wealth of the Nation for more than two centuries, he did not receive the full benefits of his labors nor was he prepared to do the work in a skilled and scientific manner. Mr. Washington says: "Many have had the thought that industrial training was meant to make the Negro work, much as he worked in the days of slavery. This is far from my idea of it. If this training has any value for the Negro, as it has for the white man, it consists in teaching the Negro how rather not to work, but how to make the forces of nature—air, water, horsepower, steam and electric power—work for him, how to lift labor out of toil and drudgery into that which is dignified and beautiful. The Negro in the South works and he works hard; but his lack of skill, coupled with ignorance, cause him too often to do his work in the most ostly and shiftless manner, and this has kept him near the bottom of the ladder in the business world." It was Mr. Washington who gave form and permanency to this movement. Surely no one can doubt but this movement of new industrialism is a permanent gain to the race. Cur: Educational Niche. It is the concenss of opinion of the fair-minded that the Negro has made good along the educational lines. Our efficient instructors, well equipped high schools, colleges and universities and the aigh averages made in Civil Service examinations and the honors taken by our students in leading universities are all evidences of this fact. Howard University alone is sufficient proof on this point. Our Material Niche. Whether we agree with it or not, the standard of the worth of this Nation is the almighty dollar, and I am afraid that we shall have to be measured by that standard. And even here and taking our circumstances into consideration we have met the requirements. Our magnificent homes wherein are culture, chastity and refinement—our stately and valuable churches, splendid banks, large businesses are undisputed evidences of permanent gains along material lines. Our Women. One of our greatest and most valuable assets is our women; they are wonderfully endowed with adaptability, versatility, fineness—possessing culture, taste, and grace. Our women are able to adapt themselves to any position in life—as mother, wife, sweetheart, teacher, musician, cook, laudress, etc. She can put aside her culinary and laundry attire and enter the social circle and move with an ease and grace that would become a queen. We are told that they are only imitators of the white women for whom they work and with whom they associate; if this be true, then we should thank God for such apt pupils. Our White Friends. The progress of the Negro has attracted the attention of the civilized world and it has met with the approval of the fair-minded of all nations, especially the fair-minded and generous white people of America. $ ^{4} $ They contributed generously to our educational work—been our instructors—sold us the land and lent us the money with which to purchase the same. Indeed, without the aid of our white friends, north and south, we could not have made the progress of which we so much delight to speak. I consider the constancy of such friends as a valuable and permanent gain. Our Professional Class. The degree of efficiency made by our professional class-preachers, teachers, lawyers, physicians, etc., entitle them to a permanent place in the list of our achievements. The Negro Press. The Negro press, which has been soably represented here, has been one of the most potent factors in race uplift since the days of Russwurm Cornish and Philip A. Bellit. It could always be depended upon to lead the vanguard in the fight for the rights of our race. The editorial chairs of this same Negro press have been filled and that gracefully by some of the ablest men produced by the race, some of them comparing favorably with the greatest editors of the world. It is to the press that we are to look for our strongest defence in the future. I consider the Negro press a permanent gain. Since I have spoken at other times of our homes and churches to discuss them at this time I hardly deem necessary; all admit that they are permanent gains. The Things We Hope to Obtain. In the first place, we hope to win a greater measure of the confidence of the white people of the country and thus secure to the race from them complete justice and fair play. The white man must be persuaded to open to the Negro the doors to the trade unions, which have heretofore been closed against him, and to recognize in the black man a brother—an industrial associate with all the rights and privileges of any other industrial worker. In a Republic like ours color should be no bar to the making of a livelihood. However, this coveted goal is to be reached by a sagacious use of the ballot and efficiency. I know of no economic crime more despeable than barring a man from the gainful pursuits of life because of color for which he is not responsible and cannot remedy. We hope to achieve the repeal of all discriminatory laws which were passed to humiliate the race and brand us as inferiores by nature. If we be brethren, and we are, for the Scriptures sayeth, "And He made of one blood all the nations of men to dwell on all the face of the earth." And it is up to this Christian Nation, a Nation of high ideals to make good the statement. The doctrine of the brotherhood of man has been taught to us by our white teachers and the great publicists of the world, and it seems to me they ought to be willing to practice what they preach. If we be brethren, and we are, we ought to be allowed all the rights and privileges of the brotherhood. Color prejudice is a senseless and hurtful thing and ought to be eliminated. There is no prejudice against a black horse, a black dress, a black hat or even a black dog, and I cannot for the life of me see why there should be prejudice against a black man. I rejoice in the belief that the seed are being sown of character, industry, intelligence, wealth, sobriety, self-respect—which are to bring forth harvest. We have at our command the agencies which will eventually liberate us from our disabilities. It is our hope in the near future to see the Nation purge itself of mob violence, which has done more to undermine the confidence in the judicial system than anything else that I know. Statistics show that not one per cent, of the Negroes lynched are even accused of assaults on white women. Lynching is the darkest blot on the fair escutcheon of the Nation. Another achievement for which we hope is the removal of all hindrances in the casting by the Negro of an untrammelled ballot in all sections of the country. America can never be anything like an ideal Republic so long as intelligent, law-abiding, property-holding Negroes are debarred from the ballot box—and that in defiance of the Federal Constitution. Solidarity of the Negro Vote. It, as has been stated, that one of the chief causes of the disfranchisement of the Negro is the solidarity of his vote and that in the interest of the Republican party, then that cause is removed, as evidenced by the division of the black vote in the last presidential election. I do not think that it would be out of place for me to give a few reasons for the cause of this division: First. Impotency of the Republican party to secure to the Negro the ballot in the southland. To my certain knowledge we have made appeals to Republican Presidents to aid us in this respect, but we are told that our appeal must be made to Congress. And when we made our appeal to a Republican Congress we were told to go to the Supreme Court, and when we made our petition to the Supreme Court we were ever turned down on some technicality. I am reminded here of an incident that occurred when I was a boy. We lived some distance from town, and used to haul wood into the village. Just before entering the town there was a steep hill on the top of which lived a white man who was known to would set the dogs upon any Negroes be the possessor of vicious dogs and whenever it pleased him to do so he that chanced to be passing by. He was considered a pretty mean fellow. One day when my father was loading up to go to town my brother and myself each told him that he was putting.on too much wood to make the ascent of the hill. We were not thinking so much of the team getting stalled as we were of the dogs on the hill. Father told us that he understood his business and was hauling wood before we were born; so the wagon was loaded heavily, and off to town we started. Upon reaching the hill we were stalled just as my brother and I had predicted. Some one whom we knew came along and suggested that we ask the old man on the hill for help. The messenger stood without the gate and sounded the usual, "Hello, hello," two or three times. At last the old man came out, just as we expected, and said, "What do you want?"—at the same time driving the dogs under the house. The messenger informed him that we were stalled at the foot of the hill and needed help. Without a word he said to his servant, "John, go to the barn and get a horse with swingle tree and go down and help those Negroes up the hill with their load; they are the first Negroes that ever asked me for help since I have lived on this hill; and by the gods, I am going to help them. This incident illustrates the thought I am trying to impress upon you—the Republican party is the wagon stalled at the hill; father and his crowd are the Negroes who desire help; the Democratic party is the old man on the hill, and it is to this party which has been considered against us in the past that we are to make our appeals for help in the future. It is for each individual Negro in the southland to make his appeal to his white friend to change his attitude and to swing wide the political door and allow the Negro to enter. An Invitation. The South is awakening to the realization of the importance of the valuable asset they have heretofore conceded to the Republican party entrenching them in power for nearly half a century. We have the proof of this in the invitation to align ourselves with the Democracy by such great journals as the New York World, the Charlotte Observer, the Columbia State and the Louisville Courier-Journal, whose great editor, Colonel Henry Watterson, says in an editorial of that paper, "A new generation of blacks has come upon the scene. These blacks are better educated. In the North thy understand the situation. What do they owe the Republicans? In our opinion, nothing." If they ever expect to help their brethren in the South, this is a good chance to do it, because to the white people of the South they must look for substantial help and real advantage in everything which allays race prejudice and brings the two peoples nearer together in friendly and neighborly intercourse will insure to the profit of the weaker in the life struggle. The Courier Journal has never sought to make a party profit out of the Negro. It is his friend and his neighbor, his fellow citizen and his fellow Christian. The whites cannot prosper if the blacks languish. We are whites and blacks in the same boat, and we must sit fair and row steadily if we expect to be happy and make progress. The white man should want nothing of the benefits of government for himself and his children which he is not ready to allow the black man for himself and his children. We are mutually dependent We are bound to live together; we cannot get away from each other; hence, a good working and living understanding is the basis of the common interest. The black people long ago learned that the Republican party had no use for them except to vote them. Through forty years they have been paying a debt they but half owed. In the meantime the whites of the South have been aiding them in substantial ways. If they should turn about now and vote the Democratic ticket in the North or divide their vote they would be pursuing a wise policy by rebuking the Republicans, making fair-weather friends with the Democrats, and asserting at once their intelligence and their independence. In interviews held of late, one in the committee room of Speaker Clark and the other in the committee room of Congressman Burleson of Texas, we were given assurances of the good will of the Democratic party toward the Negro. The consideration given to Negroes in the last campaign by the Democratic party in the fitting out of the headquarters in New York, Boston, Chicago and Washington are evidences of the change of attitude on the part of the Democratic party. The refusal of the Democratic convention of Arkansas to endorse the grandfather clause which had been submitted by the Legislature to the electorate of that State and its defeat largely through Governor Robinson, Mr Jerry South, with the aid of Republicans, is another evidence of a changed attitude of the Democratic party toward the Negro. We have not made earnest and insistent appeals to the Democratic party for help as we should have done, and as we have to the Republican party. President Woodrow Wilson. In the election of President Wilson the country has honored one of its noblest sons, a born leader of men, a man with a conscience, with the best training that one of our great universities is able to give; and I believe that ere many moons shall have passed we shall realize that in Woodrow Wilson we have a man with a conscience and a genuine friend to the race which the following will indicate: "I wish to assure my colored fellow citizens of my earnest wish to see justice done them in every matter, and not mere grudging justice, but justice executed with liberality and cordial good feeling. Every guarantee of our law, every principle of our Constitution, commends this, and our sympathies should also make it easy. The colored people of the United States have made extraordinary progress towards self-support and usefulness, and ought to be encouraged in every possible and proper way. My sympathy with them is of long standing, and I want to assure them through you. that should I become President of the United States they may count upon me for absolute fair dealing and for everything by which I could assist in advancing the interests of their race in the United States." MRS. ROBERT GOELET. Mrs. Robert Goelet, the New York society leader, died in her Paris residence, 36 Avenue D'iona. Mrs. Goelet was taken seriously ill in August this year, while on her yacht Nahma, at Southampton, and her allment was diagnosed as cancer. Mrs. Goelet immediately left for France to undergo treatment. Reports as to her condition since her arrival in Paris had been so favorable that her death was unexpected. The body will be sent to America for burial. Mine Cave Shakes Three Blocks. Three entire city blocks in Wilkes Barre, Pa., are rocking and shaking from a mine cave and 1500 families are terrorized and ready to flee at the first sign of a general subsidence of the earth. The disturbed section is almost in the heart of the city and is made up of North Pennsylvania avenue, North Washington street, East North street and Bennett street. Rumblings of the earth were heard during the night. They produced a noise much like a bombardment and they have continued incessantly during the day. At irregular intervals there are blasts like terrific explosions, and these are followed by the awaying and twisting of buildings, which tear the dwellings from their fastenings and bring about a general state of fright. Numérous families have reported the earth shocks so severe that coffee pots and frying pans are tossed from the kitchen stoves and hurled to the ceiling. All the families are ready to depart. Guards are stationed about to give warning of any depressions, and while there have been some subsidence they are not general as yet. The section is undermined by the workings of the old Smith colllery which is now controlled by the Wilkes-Barre Anthracite company. Railroad Merger Must Dissolve. The United States supreme court in an opinion announced by Justice Day held that the Union Pacific Railroad company, by the acquisition of stock in the Southern Pacific Railroad company, by the acquisition of stock in the Southern Pacific Railroad company, had effected a combination in violation of the Sherman anti-trust law. Justice Day, reading the opinion, indicated that the court would enter a decree to dissolve the combination and also an injunction to prevent the Union Pacific from voting Southern Pacific stock. Theological Student Held For Murder. First degree murder was charged against Marshall Copeland, a theological student in Morrisville college, in a warrant issued in Springfield, Mo. Copeland, it is alleged, fatally stabbed Bryan Crane, another student, last Saturday, following a hasing of which Copeland was the victim. Crane, aged sixteen years, died in a hospital on Tuesday night. Copeland is twenty-six years old and has a wife and one child. Four-Year-Old Boy Stain by Chum. George Button, a four-year-old boy, fatally shot Ray Adams, the same age, at Mills, Pa.

He was a man who first came under notice by running from Paris to Moscow, a distance of 1,700 miles, in thirteen days and eighteen hours. In 1838 he ran through Central Asia from Calcutta to Constantinople, bearing dispatches for the East India company. The distance is 5,615 miles, and he accomplished it in fifty-nine days, one-third of the time taken by the swiftest caravan. A favorite employment for him was as the messenger extraordinary of sovereigns. He ran from country to country, bearing letters and dispatches of the highest importance, and always beating mounted couriers matched against him. He never walked. Invariably he took the direct route to his destination, climbing mountains, swimming rivers and guiding himself through forests in a way known only to himself. His food was a small quantity of raspberry alrup—Pearson's Weekly. Who Invented Bonds? No one knows who invented bonds, but whoever he was he was one of the great benefactors of the human race. He made it possible for great loans, aggregating perhaps hundreds of millions of dollars, to be split up into bonds that could be sold to individual investors all over the world, furnishing the money to finance the needs of nations, to found great new industries and to open up vast tracts of territory. We may read in the newspapers that $100,000,000 has been loaned to Japan by an international banking syndicate, but at the same time comes the announcement of a $100,000,000 bond issue, the obligation of the Japanese government, secured perhaps by customs revenues and offered to investors in the financial capitales of three or four nations. The $100,000,000 as a matter of fact has not been loaned by the bankers; it is loaned by the people.—S. W. Straus in National Magazine. The Terrible Test "Darling." cried the young man as he sank at the maiden's feet. "I would do anything to prove my love for you!" "That's what every man says when he wants to win a girl." answered the young lady harshly. "Can't I move you?" panted the desperate Romeo. "Prove me. Put me to the test. Test me. I pray you." "I wonder." whispered the lady softly to herself, while a blush mantled her pale cheeks. Then suddenly bending over the almost swooning youth who crouched at her feet she exclaimed. "I will put you to the test!" "Ah!" the youth sprang to his feet, exultant, triumphant, and cried aloud to the maiden at his side: "Your test? Your test?" "Tls to marry some other girl," murmured the sweet young thing as she gilded backward through the velvet curtains into the ballroom.—Baltimore American. An Ugly Weapon. When boxers and fighters came together in the old days of Greece they wore upon their hands the cestus, which was in itself a terrible adjunct to any fighter. But there was sometimes attached to the cestus a deadlier weapon, consisting of a three pronged fork of bronze, known as the myrmex. Classical literature has frequent references to the myrmex, which is described as the deadliest weapon of the ancient pugilist. The right hand was swathed in tough hide, bound in place with thongs and supplemented by small knobs of lead or iron. This was the cestus, to which was affixed the myrmex. Combats in those days were much more brutal and dangerous than those of the modern prize ring. It is easily seen that a single blow of the myrmex might cause death or permanent injury.

It Will Be a Marriage Feast and an Inaugural Ceremony Combined—Jesus' Victory Through Death Constituted His Divine Election to Be King of Kings and Lord of Lords—Immediately He Betrothed a Bride—Eighteen Centuries of Wedding Garment Preparation. PASTOR RUSSELL Washington, D.C., March 9.—Pastor Russell arrived here this morning on his return from Panama, Kingston, Havana, Key West, Tampa and Pensacola. His coming was eagerly awaited by the Washington Temple Congregation. He took for his text Jesus' words. PASTOR RUSSELL He took for his text Jesus' words, "When the Son of Man shall come in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then shall He sit upon the Throne of His glory." (Matthew 25:31.) He said: When six thousand years ago man transgressed the Divine command and came under the sentence, "Dying, thou shalt die," he was cast out of Eden, that in the unprepared earth he might pay the death penalty, with labor and sweat of face going down to the tomb. Even then, in the declaration that the Seed of the woman would eventually bruise the serpent's head, God implied an ultimate victory for humanity, over Satan and sin and its death penalty. Later, God's Covenant with Abraham told that the victory would come through his posterity, but still did not explain how. Centuries later, Abraham's favored posterity became the Jewish nation, and came into covenant relationship with God through Moses, the mediator of the Law Covenant. Their hope was that they could so thoroughly keep God's Law as to merit everlasting life; and that learning how to practise this self-control, and gain the victory over sin, they would be competent to teach all nations; and to deliver mankind from sin and death. However, centuries of effort proved that none were able to keep the Divine Law satisfactorily; for all continued to die. The next Divine lesson was one of faith in God. Israel could not keep the Law Covenant satisfactorily—could not, therefore, have everlasting life. Hence they could not teach others to do what they could not do. The lesson of faith was that they should look forward to a coming Messiah, "A Prince and a Savior." Through Him all the promises would be fulfilled. For centuries they waited for Him, and sought to apply Moses' words: "A Prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you from amongst your brethren, like unto me [the antitype of Moses]; Him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever He shall say unto you. And * * * every soul which will not hear that Prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people"—Acts 3:22-23. Various were the hopes and imaginations respecting Messiah. He was to be the antitype of both David and Solomon, the antitype of Aaron and Melchizedek—very great! He was to reclaim from sea to sea. (Psalm 72:8). Ultimately, so successful would be His reclaim that the knowledge of the Lord should fill the whole earth, as the waters cover the deep. (Habakkuk 2:14). Not only Israel would be blessed by Him, but all nations, peoples, kindreds and tongues. Unto Him every knee would bow and every tongue confess, to the glory of God.—Philippians 2:10, 11. The hearts of Israel looked forward with pride to that day when Messiah would exalt them very highly in the earth and associate them with Himself in the ruling and blessing of all people. Ah! they thought, the invocation day will come, when as King of kings and Lord of lords Israel's Messiah will wield a scepter which all will recognize and under which all will receive a blessing; These good hopes held together the "chosen people," as no other nation or people have ever been held together. They are waiting still, though disconcerted by the length of time and by the various evidences that others are in some respects more favored than themselves. Messiah and the Jubilee at Hand. Messiah and the Jubilee at Hand. At last Israel's Star of Hope is rising! At last the prophecies tell that the morning of joy is about to dawn—and "the desire of all nations shall come." Not merely Jews are claiming that Messiah's Day is high, and that the Divine blessing is about to come upon Jerusalem and all the people of God, but Christian Bible students see the same. Mohammedans are claiming the same. Free Masons are claiming the same. All men are in expectation of something wonderful, just at the door. The blessings multiplied upon us in the inventions of the last half-century all bespeak the New Dispensation, the reign of the King of kings. And if the preparations are on so grand a scale, what will be the grandeur of the inauguration and of the reign itself? Truly the Scriptures say that "eye hath not seen, nor ear heard the things that God hath in reservation for them that love HIM"—1 Corinthians 2:9. Inauguration Scene of Our Text. Through the Prophets of old the picture was given us of the triumphal entrance of Messiah, saying, "Lift up your heads. ye gates; and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors, and the King of glory shall come in * * * Jehovah of Hosts, He is the King of glory." (Psalm 247, 10.) It is Jehovah's Kingdom that is to be established when Messiah comes; for Messiah is the godlike One, Jehovah's Representative, who for a thousand years will rule the world for the abolishment of sin and death, and the uplifting of Israel and all the nations. Messiah is spoken of as the Seed of David, who should inherit his throne. (Luke 1:31-33.) He who was according to the flesh David's Son is according to the Spirit David's Lord, and He it is that shall sit upon the Throne. But as the throne upon which David sat was the Throne of Jehovah, so the Throne of Messiah will be Jehovah's Throne also. "Oh, that will be a crowning When Christ His Kingdom shall receive Before the great white Throne!" Grand as have been the inaugural services of the past week, they were as nothing in contrast with the glorious crowning Day for which the earth has been waiting six thousand years. Happy, earnest and hopeful as were the faces that greeted the President, the picture was tame as compared with the light and joy and confidence that will fill the world when mankind come to realize that during the past six thousand years God has been making preparation for this great Day that is even now dawning. Then gratitude will go up to the Lord from faithful hearts. Then truly on the grandest possible scale all that trust in Messiah will shout, "Hosanna to the Son of David." Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!" Then Messiah will take His Kingdom as God's Representative, His Holy One to rule the earth, and to dispense the blessings which God promised in the Abrahamic Covenant and reiterated "by the mouth of all His Holy Prophets since the world began." Whercin Did the Jews Fail? The Jews did not fall. All the promises of God made to them are still theirs. He never offered them spiritual favors. He never suggested that He would take them to Heaven. The strongest promise made, even to Abraham, was that all the land which could be seen would be given to him and to his seed. All the blessings of Israel were to come through Messiah, whose Kingdom is about to be inaugurated. What God did for the Jews at the First Advent of Jesus was something more than He ever promised to do for them. He foretold through the Prophets that Messiah would suffer ye, that "as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up." The Jews merely fulfilled a part of the Divine Program. Had Messiah gone to another nation, doubles there would have been similar results. No other nation, indeed, was so well prepared as the Jews by Divine instruction through the Law and the Prophets. What God did for that nation more than He promised to do was that He gave them an opportunity of becoming more than the natural seed of Abraham. He gave them the opportunity of becoming spirit beings—members of Spiritual Israel. So many as received Jesus, and became consecrated to be His disciples, were received of the Father, begotten of the Holy Spirit, received into the family of God as Spiritual Israelites, as the Spiritual Seed of Abraham. But these were few. Then Divine favor turned to the Gentiles, and gave to them a similar opportunity of coming into membership with the Spiritual Seed of Abraham. This work has required nearly nineteen centuries and is now about completed. In other words, we understand that the Messiah class is about complete—Jesus the Head, faithful Jews next, the faithful from the Gentiles next. Jesus the Head long ago entered into His glory. Some of His members have already entered in, and soon the last members will pass beyond the rell. Then the preparatory work of making up the Messianic class will be completed. Immediately on the inauguration of The Messiah, His work of ruling and blessing will begin. At that point, according to the Scriptures, Natural Israel will return to God's favor, and be granted the chief blessing under the new administration. And through the Kingdom of Israel, as the earthly representative of Messiah's invisible, Spiritual Kingdom, the blessing of Jehovah will reach to all the families of the earth—Genesis 12:3; 22:17, 18. What Israel Did Not See. The Jewish people failed to note those portions of prophecy which foretold Messiah's sufferings. As a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so He would neither open His mouth nor use any of His superior powers to hinder the accomplishment of God's will in respect to His death. (Isaiah 53:7). The chastisement for human sin was borne by Him, in order that, as man's Redeemer, He might have the right to forgive human sin and to raise mankind out of their degradation and bring them back into harmony with God's Law, fully justified through the blood of the Redeemer. Not only the Jews failed to see the necessity for a dying Savior, but the whole Gentile world may be said to equally fail to grasp the import of Jesus' death. The death of Jesus was necessary for two reasons. (1) As man's redemption price; (2) As evidencing His own faithfulness to God. His own loyalty even unto death; and consequently His right to the Divine promise of a glorious exaltation, compensating His devotion, His self-sacrifice, and honoring His name above every name—making Him partaker of the Divine nature. Without His redemptive work, the penalty of Divine Justice would have rested forever upon the human race, and none could have been resurrected from the dead. The sentence of death upon man would bring him to the same condition of nonentity as the dying of the brute accomplishes in him. But God knew in advance of His own purpose to arrange for mankind the payment of the penalty through His Son, who died, the Just for the unjust, to bring them back into harmony with God. It is for this reason that none living prior to Jesus were accepted to sorship in God's family, after Father Adam lost that privilege through disobedience. Only after the redemption could the invitation to sorship be extended. Those who accepted needed to wait until Pentecost to receive it. They waited until Jesus, who died for their sins, ascended up on High to make reconciliation on our behalf. Forwith the Father accepted all who came unto Him through Christ, and the Holy Spirit came upon such, inducing them into the Divine family as sons. The difference between the Church and the world is that the Church is called out from the world now, when everything is unfavorable, while Satan is unbound, while ignorance and superstition hold sway, and while the reign of sin and death is in progress. These circumstances make for the Church a narrow way of self-sacrifice in walking in the footsteps of Jesus. But because of this severer trial of the narrow way, the Church is to have the superior blessing also—glory, honor, immortality, Diving nature, the First Resurrection—from earthly to Heavenly conditions. Then will come the general blessing which God has provided, through Messiah's sacrifice, for the world. All sinned in the one man—Adam. All have been redeemed by the other Man—Christ Jesus. (1 Corinthians 15:21.1) All are to be awakened from the sleep of death. All are to have a full opportunity to come to a knowledge of the Truth. And all are to be given everlasting life, who develop the spirit of holiness. Only the incorrigible, those who love iniquity and hate righteousness, will eventually be sentenced to the Second Death, from which there will be no recovery. Necessity $ ^{*} $ For Christ's Reign. More and more we realize that education will not do for the world all that we once hoped. Many of us hoped that the education of the heathen would make saints of them, forgetting that education in the home-land has not made saints very generally. There are good people, moral people, trustworthy people, who are not Christians at all. But they are the exceptions. The majority of people are not sufficiently strong of character to stand thus alone without the help of Christ. The great mass of mankind seem to need something in the way of chastisement, punishment, to offset the downward tendencies of their own fallen flesh. A few possibly have been restrained by the absurd teaching of eternal torment at the hands of demons, presented for a long time in the name of Christianity. But the majority reason that whoever else gets these experiences, they will not. Thus we find that nearly all the murderers imprisoned are such as have known the erroneous teaching of eternal torment, and yet have been unabashed thereby. In other words, they have given an outward assent to the teaching, but really have never believed it or been influenced by it. What the world needs is a strong government, which will hold in restraint the weaker and baser elements of society, and seek to help them up out of their difficulties. But no government yet devised is either strong enough or wise enough to accomplish much along these lines. This is evidenced by the fact that crime increases in proportion with intelligence; so much so that, using all of our modern appliances—telephones, telegraphs, dictographs, etc. we are scarcely able to keep even with law-breakers. All who have anything to do with police affairs shudder at the thought of what might occur should the time ever come when the majority of a city should become stubborn and vicious through lack of work want of bread, etc. They tell us that such conditions would loose the tiger of human passions as it has never before been known in the world; for the tiger is now educated, and the masses are on a par with the masters-social, financial and political. What we need is Messiah's Kingdom—the very Kingdom described to us in the Word of God. His rule will be that of justice and equity and will give a fair opportunity to the poor and the needy (Psalm 72:4). His Kingdom will subdue vice and crush it out, and punish sin, in both rich and poor. His Kingdom will lay righteousness to the line and justice to the plummet, and will sweep away the refuge of lies and subterfuges under which injustice is now so often cloaked. No wonder the Scriptures tell us that Messiah's Kingdom will be "the desire of all peoples!"—Haggai 2:17; Isaiah 28:17. "PEARL OF ANTILLES" Pastor Russell, Returning. From Panama, Visits Guba. Modern Application of a Familiar Text. What the Bible Means by "Restitution Times"—The Pastor Claims Each "Time" a Year, a Thousand Altogether and a Beginning Made Earth's Happy Day Nearing—A Little While, a Dark Hour May Intervene. Havana, Cuba, March 2.—Pastor Russell is delighted with Cuba, and does not fail to call attention to the wide contrast between present sanitary conditions and those which prevailed so short a time ago, when this fair CUSTOP. CUSSELL Havana, Cuba, March 2—Pastor Russell is delighted with Cuba, and does not fall to call attention to the wide contrast between present sanitary conditions and those which prevailed so short a time ago, when this fair land suffered continually from vel- PASTOR-RUSSELL land suffered continually from yellow fever and other tropical ailments. The Pastor referred to General Wood as the one through whose energy and skill Cuba's restitution and rejuvenation came about. "Honor to whom honor is due" appears to be one of Pastor Russell's mottoes. The Pastor's text was Acts 3:19-21: "Times of Restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all His Holy Prophets since the world began." He said:— In Panama a week ago I saw one of the stupendous works of man in subduing, or conquering, the earth and making it suitable for his purposes. I testified to the people there, and to the millions who read my sermons, respecting the increased education of humanity through modern inventions, which speak to us of the dawning of the New Era long foretold in the Bible. Today I point you to man's increasing skill along other lines. The laws of health and of disease are much better understood than ever in the past. The laws of chemistry applicable to nearly everything in life, are marvelously clear and greatly extended beyond anything of previous times. This increased knowledge lies close to the work of sanitation, which is so generally approved and so widely extended. All this sudden infusion of knowledge, not only upon the few learned, but upon the masses of mankind also, is a sign of the dawning of the New Day of God's blessing—Restitution. Millennial Work In Cuba. The Pastor urged his congregation to consider this wonderful transformation of conditions in their fair Island an exemplification of the great work which will prevail throughout the whole world very shortly. It properly raises our estimation of human intelligence, and of the benefcience of the United States Government, whose agent in this transforming work was General Wood. What has taken place so markedly in Cuba under sanitary regulation is gradually being accomplished all over the world. It marks the dawning of the New Day referred to in his text as "Times of Restitution of all things," which God has promised from the beginning. Everywhere in the Scriptures the glorious work of human uplift is directly associated with Messiah's Kingdom. Perhaps many have expected the blessings to come in another way; nevertheless, now that they are coming, all should be able to see the facts and to acknowledge prophetical fulfilments. Is it any less true that the wilderness is coming to blossom as the rose because this is resulting from human energy—well-drilling and other irrigating projects? Surely not! "God moves in a mysterious way, Iwls wonders to perform." His virtues to perform And that mysterious way is usually through human instrumentality, as improved conditions here in Cuba abundantly witness. Instead of being disappointed that God is using humanity for the fulfillment of His glorious promises, we should all rejoice that mankind may be associated with the marvels of Divine Wisdom. Nevertheless, the best that has been attained here or anywhere is evidently far below the glorious standard of perfection which God declares to be the ultimate result. Best of All—Human Restitution My message is meaningless to those who have left the teachings of the Word of God, and who believe in human evolution. Disbelieving in the fall of our race from the Divine image in the flesh, these must logically deny also the redemption, and all necessity for a Savior to die for our sins. Surely they could not count it sin to experience evolution, as they claim; and if sin has not been committed, then there could not be a redemption from sin, nor a restitution to a condition enjoyed before sin entered the world. All such theories, therefore, are unscriptural. For this reason they are in antagonism to the Bible view, that man fell from God's image six thousand years ago; that he has, passed through six great Days in which has prevailed a reign of sin and death, induced by Satan at the beginning, and still, to some extent, influenced by him. Under this reign of sin and death, man has lost much of the Divine lunge, and has become brutal—more or less. The redemptive work of Jesus is not to be understood as a change of the Divine Plain and an abandonment of the earth as a Paradise, populated by humans in the mental and moral likeness of the Creator. God changes not. The mistake was merely one of ours, not authorized by the Bible. The time for Restitution was not due when Jesus gave His life as man's Redemption-price; but those "times," or years, of Restitution are due now; for we are living in the dawning time of the great Seventh Day in Thousand-Year Day! Messiah's first work as the great King of earth is about to be inaugurated. He is about to bind Satan—"that old serpent, the Devil." He is about to bless, not only the earth, but also humanity, by rolling away the original curse. Messiah's Kingdom is pictured as a Day ushered in by a glorious sunrise of truth and grace. In contrast with its light and knowledge, all the past six thousand years are figuratively spoken of as darkness. (Isaiah 60:2. But the Sun of Righteousness now arises with healing in His beams. Gradually, not suddenly, the sun arises; and so the Restitution blessings are coming in gradually, not suddenly. Sometimes in the early morning there is a thunder storm, which for a brief space hinders the dawning of the day. But it results in the drenching of the earth with a refreshing shower. So, according to the Bible, will this New Day of Messiah's Kingdom be ushered in, by a terrific storm of trouble. But it will be short; and its effects upon the earth will be refreshing. The great contrast between the righteousness of the future and the sin of the present will be so conspicuous that all will enjoy the new condition; "The desire of all nations shall come." - Haggai 27. "God Moves In a Mysterious Way." God has withheld the knowledge of certain features of His Divine Program—for our good, we may be sure. The supposition upon which many of us went in times past is untenable. We supposed that God in the Bible had set forth in plain terms everything respecting His Plan. When we could not find it, we tried to manufacture it. It is good to study the Word, even if we do not understand. And if our forefathers got themselves into difficulties through errors of judgment in studying God's Word, we may be sure that they were not especially disadvantaged thereby. Not seeing the Divine purpose, they were required to exercise more faith. But that greater amount of faith was not then more difficult, probably, than the less amount now necessary. Christian theologians become so intent in their reasoning upon the Heavenly things appertaining to the Church that they forget all about the world. As cruelty became more pronounced the Word of God was less studied. It is not strange that our forefathers concluded that, all except the Church would be eternally tormented. And when they concluded this to be God's Plan, it is not surprising that they concluded to join in the persecution themselves. "Thus it comes that the pages of history are the records of bloody persecutions—sometimes directly from Christians, and sometimes indirectly from Christians through earthly governments. Thus the entire civilized world has become intertwined with the wine of false doctrine from the cup of the woman who sat upon the beast, falsely representing herself as the Bride of Christ, but living in figurative harlotry with the kingdoms of this world. (Revelation 17:1-5; 18:3.) As we get over the stupaction of our infolication of error, reason begins to return to us. The Apostle calls this "the spirit of a sound mind." We must not boast. There is still considerable darkness. But we are nearing the glorious light! The Divine Character is shining out as it was never seen before! Divine Love and Mercy are conspicuous "Divine Justice is seen in its true light. Proportionately as we see these things, our souls magnify and glorify the Lord, who is good, and whose Mercy endureth forever. Gathering of the Elect Now. The work of this present Age is unquestionably the gathering of God's Elect. It is equally unquestionable that the saints are the Elect. St. Paul points out to us that this is God's foreordination; namely, that all who will be elected in this present Age must be copies of God's dear Son. This is what is predestinated—the terms and conditions, the requirements and qualifications, of the Elect. (Romans 8:20, 30). God will permit none others to be of that number. But not a word is said in the Scriptures about God's having predestinated the non elect to torment. Quite to the contrary. His predestination for the non elect is that they shall be blessed by the Elect after the Elect Church is completed, after the Church, the Bride, shall have entered with her Bridegroom-Lord into the stories of Messiah's Kingdom. The Elect are the Seed of Abraham. First of all, the natural seed were elected, or chosen, of God to special privileges and opportunities under the Law Covenant; while the remainder of the world, called Gentiles, were allowed for century after century to go down to death without God, having no hope in the world. There was a hope for them, but they knew not of it, because God's those for revealing it to them had not yet come. If the Jews told the outsiders that they would ultimately bless all nations, the others laughed at such a suggestion, feeling that they were as competent to bless the world as were the Jews. This, indeed, was what the Babylonians, tried. Next after them came the Medes and Persians; after them the Grecans; and still later came the Romans. Each of these stamped their ideas upon the world to the best of their ability, and gave their laws. Each attempted to show how much more competent than the others it was for earthly rulership. But, alas! none of them ruled satisfactorily or brought in "the desire of all nations." Meantime, also, the Jews waited for the fulfilment of their promises. Meantime, also. God renewed the promises, and assured them that He would send the Messiah to be their Deliverer shortly. When Jesus came, he came not as a warrior, like Alexander the Great or Napoleon. He was meek and lowly of heart; and He called the poor, the malmed, the halt—mentally, morally and physically—to His standard. Not unnaturally the Jewish leaders repudiated Him and crucified Him, declaring that He did not represent their ideals and must be a deceiver.—I Corinthians 2:7, 8. Similarly they treated His followers. As St. Paul declared, "As deceivers and yet true," the early Christians suffered reproach. The Jews understood not God's Message. They saw not that it was necessary for Jesus to die, "the Just for the unjust," to be a Redemption-price for the sins of the world. They saw not that such a death was necessary to Him, in order that He might attain the glory, honor and immortality of the future. They saw not that the disciples that Jesus called were saints. However weak these were, mentally and morally, their hearts were loyal, and they strove to walk in the footstones of Jesus. People have not realized that, during this Gospel Age. God has been accepting the saintly ones who come unto the Father through the Savior. They have not seen that the suffering of these was necessary for their testing and proving, and for their instruction in righteousness, that they might be fully qualified for glory, honor and immortality and joint-belief with Christ their Redeemer. St. Paul speaks of the Church as a Mystery class. It is a Mystery to the world: first, it is the selecting, of a class the world would never think of choosing—a humble, meek class; second, neither the Jews nor the world realize that this class constitutes the Spiritual Seed of Abraham, to bless all the families of the earth. Nevertheless God's great Plan goes on, whether they know or do not know. Ultimately it will work out a glorious result. Then Natural Israel and all nations will know. Then the Church, the Elect, the Seed, the Bride, the Lamb's Wife, will be joined to Him in bonds of perpetual love, zeal and faithfulness. Then will begin the very blessing God so long ago declared, saying to Abraham, "In thee and in thy Seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed." -Gen. 12:2; 18:18; 22:18; 26:4. Abraham's Spiritual Seed. God has not changed His purposes. (Malachi 3:6) He created man an earthly being. He permitted him to fall. He purposed his redemption through Jesus. He purposed the calling of the Church of Christ, to be His associates in the Kingdom. He purposed that this Kingdom should be a Spiritual one: "Flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God." (I Corinthians 15:50). He purposed that this Spiritual Kingdom should bless the world with Restitution blessings—bringing back to perfection all the willfing and obedient of Adam's race. This is the Program still. We merely got a wrong impression when we thought that God's purpose was the bringing of all mankind to Heavenly conditions and nature. No, not that blessed experience is only for the Church class. God still purposes institution for the world of mankind. In Abraham's Seed all the families of the earth will be blessed. If we see signs of these great blessings beginning now, it is a sure indication that the Elect must be almost complete. And if that be true, all of us who have rowed consecration to the Lord and His service should be thoroughly awake to our blessings and privileges, and to the fact that the time of most crucial testing is even now at the door. If we are to make our calling and our election sure, we must lose no opportunity for demonstrating that we are loyal to God and His Word, and to the brethren. Along these very lines we must expect tests, too. How else could we be proved? Moreover, now is the time to expect light on the Divine Word and Plan; and we are setting it. We are seeing the difference between human nature and Divine nature, between the earthly blessing that is to come to mankind and the "high calling" which is the portion of the Elect. God declares that the Mystery hidden from the past Ages and Dispensations, which He kept secret from the beginning of the world, is to cease to be a mystery. The Mystery becomes daily, ye hourly, less pronounced, as we come into that condition of mind in which God will reveal to us His arrangements. Truly ours is a glorious time! Let us avail ourselves of the present glorious opportunities for Bible study and growth in knowledge, grace and love. Let us walk worthy of the light; and rejoicingly let us note that Jesus is yet to be "the Light of the world"—"which lighteth every man that cometh into the world."—John 12.

Thus spoke one of the most prominent Negroes in the country to The Bee. Continuing he said: "I hear something about Dr. W. E. B. Dubois being the most likely man for the place. Now where was DuBois in this campaign? Why just where he is always, either off the firing line, behind a barricade, or absolutely neutral. In the campaign that resulted in the election of President Wilson, Dr. DuBois was neither fish nor fowl. He was a Socialist pure and simple, and negatively supported Debbs, announcing his policy early in the campaign, in which he took occasion to criticise Wilson, Taft and Roosevelt both as individuals and as representatives of their parties. But where was Mr. Marshall, you ask? Why, right on the Democratic firing line where he has been for the past fifteen years, or since he has been a voter. I respect Mr. Marshall's democracy. The fact is he is the only simpure Negro Deemocrat, all the others are either latter-day saints or since November Democrats. Napoleon Marshall has perhaps made more enemies among men he would like to count as friends than any other Negro, and simply because he has been in and out of season a Democrat. And he has not profited by it in a pecuniary way either. With him democracy is a principle, and he has sacrificed friends and future for a principle. A Harvard man, a lawyer, a man of wisdom, a clever man in every respect, he would be a worthy successor to the men who have previously occupied that position. Mr. Marshall was preaching democracy when many, and the many includes Dr. DuBois, were in Republican swaddling clothes. He even has the real respect of Negro Republicans because of his devotion — unswerving devotion to the Democratic party. He has as much acquired ability as Dr. DuBois, and he has more native ability. He has gone out among and rubbed up against the plain people, never as yet has he held himself aloof to peruse a selfish course. It seems incredible that Dr. DuBois' name should even be suggested for the position against Mr. Marshall. If to the victor belongs the spoils then Mr. Marshall and he alone is deserving of the Haitian ministership, and I believe when the matter is brought squarely before President Wilson he will name Mr. Marshall. He has the ability, plus the record for real consistent democracy, and these two requisites ought to win in competition with neutrality or negative-support. The place calls for a big ripe man who knows men, who associates with men—one who has the innate characteristics and ability of a diplomat, and that man is Napoleon Marshall." The Bee cannot help but endorse this statement for it is aware that no Negro has been more consistent in his support of the Democratic party, and more effective in his support than Mr. Marshall. RACE FOR OFFICE. We commend to those Negroes who are candidates for office under President Wilson two articles that have recently appeared, written by men who are very close to the new President. The first appeared in last week's Saturday Evening Post, written by Samuel Blythe, and the second appeared in The World's Work, written by Robert Wickliffe Woolley, the latter having been head of one of the bureaus at the Democratic National committee in New York during the campaign. Mr. Blythe's article was written after an interview with President Wilson. Both articles bear all the ear marks of approval. Mr. Woolley calls attention to the more than million applications for office and plainly avers that the man who applies for office under Mr. Wilson makes a fatal error; that President Wilson will seek the men for office—the men who seek the office will be disappointed. Mr. Blythe states emphatically that the President will go slow in making changes; that he will not be bound by party affiliations alone. Mr. Woolley, and both men apparently speak by the card, says there will be no appointments to speak of before August, if then Negro candidates who have come expecting to camp in Washington until they land the office they aspire to are recommended to read these two articles and then hurry home and be about making an honest living. And it is not to be regarded as a mere insignificant thing, the confirmation of Fred R. Moore to be Minister to Liberna, with the approval and vote of Senator O'Gorman, of New York. In that confirmation there is nothing to swell the hopes of aspiring, insistent alleged Negro Democrats. After reading the two articles referred to it is our opinion that the race for federal jobs, on the part of so-called Negro Democrats, will become less spectacular, and less buoyant. President Wilson does not propose to be "rushed" by office seekers. He means to devote more attention to the economic promises made by him. Every indication points to this. PRESIDENT WILSON. This newspaper opposed the election of President Wilson and supported the candidacy of his opponent on party lines. We said nothing, during the campaign against Mr. Wilson as an individual. We opposed him solely as a representative of a party, believing, from past experiences, that his party could not be trusted to deal fairly with the Negro race. The majority of the people, or rather a plurality of them, voted to make him President, and he has been duly inaugurated. He is now no longer Woodrow Wilson, standing as the representative of the Democratic party. He is now Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States—President of all the peoples, regardless of political affiliations or religious creeds, and as such it is our duty, in common with all good citizens, to give him the support his public acts merit, and we propose to so do. If he serve all the people, and all includes our race, conserving and protecting without reference to race or color; if he deals fairly and equitably with the Negro he will deserve our support and our confidence. Somehow we are possessed with the belief that his administration will be distinctively Wilsonian; that he will be the President; that neither cliques or factions will control him. Being an educator he cannot help but be in sympathy with the greatest educational opportunities for our race, and educational opportunities is no restricted proposition. One cannot consistently favor the best and broadest educational opportunities and at the same time favor a restriction in the use of such education when acquired. The Bee extends to President Wilson its welcome to Washington as the chief magistrate of this country, and it reposes in him confidence that the ten millions of Americans collated as Negroes will receive justice at his hands. And justice means proper official recognition, the espousing of the cause of education, and the favoring of constitutional rights. THOROUGHLY REPRESENTED. The Bee extends its congratulations to the general inauguration committee in extending to the colored Americans such thorough representation in the inaugural parade. The only regret The Bee has, is that not a Southern State had a Negro representative. The black Tammany, of New York, with their white brother, was a demonstration of what Northern Democracy thinks of the Negro. The South has got to be taught a lesson, and The Bee is of the opinion that President Wilson will teach that lesson so thoroughly that the South will never forget it. It's President Wilson now. The inauguration crowd was an overwhelming one. Negro physicians who have an eye on the office of Surgeon-in-Chief of Freedman's Hospital should bear in mind it is a Civil Service position, and not subject to the mutations of politics. The United Colored Democracy of New York made a fine showing in the inaugural parade. They walked like men, looked like men, and acted like men. The Bee congratulates the organization upon its fine appearance. Ralph Langston possesses all the qualities that distinguished his distinguished father. He is a gentleman, a man of intellect, a fighter for his race, and a man who demands from others the respect and treatment due a freeborn American citizen. And there never was a Langston that was a coward. Bishop Walters' speech at the banquet given in his honor last Tuesday night fairly rang with devotion to his race. It was plain that the Bishop is for race first and party afterwards; that he stands for harmony with a big H, but that he does not propose to be a mollycoddle. He will give and take, but he won't take everything and anything in the line of disrespect and antagonism without displaying just resentment. It was a fine address, and did the bishop proud. And it was tuned perfectly for a non-partisan dinner. Aftermath of the Banquet. Assistant United States District Attorney J A. Cobb looked like a statesman Roscoe C. Bruce was the most polished speaker present. Mr. Walters was among the admired. Some of the gowns were handsome and beautiful. Dr. Schultz, of Chicago, Ill., was the Cleopatra of the evening. She is the personification of beauty and dignity. Judge Robert H. Terrell was very reserved. Napoleon R. Marshall was a quiet listener. James A. Ross wore a Chesterfieldian air. He is a whole-souled fellow. Charlie Barnes is a genius and an affable fellow. J. T. C. Newsom knows his business. He is a man without prejudices. Where was Ralph Langston? He was among the missing. Prof. Kelly Miller knows what to say and wign to say it. Bishop Walters served notice on his invited guests that the outs wanted to get in. The ins didn't take him seriously. Dr. Sumner Wormley was the personification of dignity. Intermarriage of Races. Cincinnati, O., March 1, 1913. To the Hamilton County Members of the Ohio Legislature. In talking with many gentlemen, members of your Honorable body Friday relative to the House Bill No. 27 on intermarriage, we found undue importance attached to a letter from J. Silas Harris, a Negro, of Kansas City, Mo. The Washington Bee of the 10th ult. says, among other things, concerning him False to His Race. "When a Negro whose past is not commendable lifts himself over into any party's ranks immediately victory perches on the banner of that party, aspires for office, he will stoop to anything." One J. Silas Harris, head of an alleged National Negro Educational Congress—a fake—and who teaches in a two or three-room Negro school in Kansas City, Mo., and who incidentally is a candidate for the Liberian ministership under Mr. Wilson, has written the author of the Anti-Intermarriage bill, praising and advocating its passage."—Washington Bee. You can see that he is of no consequence. Mr. Reppert seems thoroughly sincere in his desire to prevent the intermixture of the white and black races, but this bill will have a tendency to create conditions just the reverse to those intended. Statistics show conclusively that the vast bulk of Mulattoes and mixed bloods come from the very States that have from time immemorial had and maintained laws forbidding intermarriage of blacks and whites. The growing intelligence of American citizens is shown by the unanimity with which the different States are defeating efforts to pass matrimonial laws so detrimental to public good and so conducive to immorality.

With attending to social duties, entertaining three friends who unceremoniously dropped in on us, and talking women suffrage, I have just had my hands full this week. Attended the "function" at Auditorium hall Monday night and danced until 2 a.m., like some more giddy fools. Went to the Bishop Walters banquet Tuesday night, and grew sleepy over the action of some of the human bellows that worked there on that occasion. Heard Bishop's "keynote," which had no key at all, at all, to unlock the chest containing offices; heard Chase hit up on the press, saw and heard Jim Ross and the other lesser lights, and then peeped in for a few minutes at that dollar shooting match at the auditorium which was labeled "inaugural ball." My wife has a few relations, country cousins, who came in on us from down near Culpepper Court House, and they blew a hole in my month's salary that I will not be able to plug up for three mouths. But I had a corking big week, even if I did go lame with my salary, and even if I did have to touch a friend for a live spot. Oh, I tell you this being in "collud" society is one more hiccough. It's like getting drunk on champagne—you feel like real folks for a short time. But the next day, when the collectors come around you just naturally get the wise head and swear off—until the next time. *** But speaking about this woman suffrage, I am awfully strong for giving the hends just as big a poultry yard as the roosters, but doggone me if I can stand for this hiking, marching and dressing up in capes and caps that make the women look like St. Elizabeth has ordered a release of all its feeble-minded derelicts. Now, a woman just naturally hates a sissy man, one of those guys, that looks, acts and talks like a woman, but wears pants. And a man just naturally don't take to a he-woman, one of those creatures that talks, acts and neglects her home just like a man. We just can't warm up to them, no use in talking about it, that's all. I figure it out that every time you catch a woman running around the streets, attending all meetings and doing that food stunt of marching, it's a thousand peos to a nickel that her home is topsy turvy, her children are giving some other woman trouble, and her husband feels like joining the bachelor's club. Now, I n't strong on the husband what don't pay attention to his home ally more than I am for a woman who runs after false gods. Many a man is today chasing broilers just cause his wife is chasing moonshine, and many a wife is on the wrong side of the ledger just because her fat-head husband has more time for the club, Slo Gin and faded blonds and dis-carded brunettes than he has for his home. I reckon there ought to be some point where both could compromise. I heard a fellow cussing the other day cause every time he got home from work he had to wait an hour or two for his wife who was out attending to everybody's business but her own, and when she did come in she brought about ten cents' worth of hot degs, a loaf of Corby's Mother's bread, and a box of long-in-stock sardines, which he had to go and satisfy himself with a dinner. He was hot away up in the collar. Of course, I know of some sweet little souls what wear gowns and honeys, whose hubbies stay out every night until "jound day stands o'er the misty way," and who come home to their dinners about time to begin arranging for breakfast, with a load of Cascade and a few other brands tucked under their belts. Both are in the same larder—the woman who neglects home and the man what double crosses his home. I like a woman cause she is a woman, and I can't like a woman when she is half man, and that goes for Sweeney Woman ought to have the right to vote smoke cigarettes and be a regular damphool, just like a man, but that ain't saying she ought to be a damphool just cause she has the right. A woman can't be a real man any more than a man can be a real woman. Each is built on a different architectural line. * * Well, sir, Doc. Jim Waring just put one over the real physicians in this burg when he landed himself on the payroll of Howard University as a medical inspector, or some such title, with a stipend of about two thousand a year. Everybody is het up about it. Some of the trustees, so the grapevine wires say, won't play hall if the thing stands. And Prexy Newman, up at the university, who allowed them to slip this thing over him while he was taking an afternoon nap, is breathing mighty deep these days for fear it's going to be the forerunner of his undoing. He says, so I heard down at George Murray's soda fountain, that if he can unload this ton of gasoline and dynamite combined he will keep his own eye on all infield plays hereafter. According to the dope I got this week, the matter has already been handed to a congressman who may open up a box of treasure for all concerned. All I know is that they the bugs, are sure after Doc. Waring, and my advice to him, given at sunset, in the vicinity of Harmony Cemetery, with the moon slanting over his left shoulder, is to "run, Mr Bear, run." You will have to excuse me from giving you the regular quantity this week, cause I am pretty near all in trying to keep up the social pace, and Brother Chase wants all the space his paper will afford to give the near-statesmen a run for their money. Now's his harvest, and a harvest only comes once in four years, to Negro newspapers and Southern delegates. Stand back, and give Chase a chance to hit the bullseye. DR. 'WASHINGTON'S LEADERSHIP. From the Richmond Planet. From the Richmond Flats We have before called the attention of our readers to the fact that Dr. Booker T. Washington is not ready to surrender the political leadership which he has exercised for so many years and that he may yet prove a powerful factor in selection of colored men for appointment under the Wilson administration. It should not be forgotten that President Wilson is an educator and that Dr. Washington trains in that class. Influential men throughout the country will say a word for the distinguished leader and recommend his retention as the referee of the administration. Among these may be mentioned President Taft, who came strongly to Dr. Washington's aid in the New York incident. The Washington, D. C., Bee, with that veteran journalist, W. Calvin Chase in charge, who may be "set down" as a pretty good political weather proout, under the caption of "Unselfish Leadership" proceeds to give Dr Washington unstinted praise for his aid, advice and personal interest in the National Religious Training School at Durham, N. C. The Bee says Dr. Washington traveled night and day to keep his appointment and sat for four hours with the Board of Trustees of that institution. We quote it further: "The Bee points to this man always with pride, and more and more as the days go by, the real greatness and far-sightedness of Booker T. Washington will be known and told by black and white alike." We are of the opinion that The Bee in general and Editor Chase in particular are correct in their conclusions. Dr Booker T. Washington is one of the greatest leaders, the race and the white people of this country have ever produced. He ranks with Douglass and other great leaders who have gone on before. But it is with his far-sightedness *that we are now disposed to deal after according to his proper place in the niche of fame. We wish to be fair and to state both sides of the question at issue. Dr. Washington was in consultation with the Board of Trustees of the National Religious Training School, February 20, 1913, in an effort to raise fifty thousand dollars for that institution. He was far-sighted, believing in that portion of the Scriptures which says, he who fails to provide for his own house is worse than an infidel, for he sent out an appeal for his own institution immediately. An undated letter signed by him and which reached us the first part of this week reads as follows "We are making an especial effort this year to raise $20,000 among our people for the current expenses of this institution. Your name has been given to us as one who would be likely to contribute. I am writing to ask you to send at least $1,00. If you can send more, so much the better. I shall be grateful for anything you may send. "Enclosed you will find a blank to be filled out and return envelope. Also, another blank which I shall be glad to have you use in sending the names of any of your friends whom you think may wish to help. Money can be sent in the form of cash, stamps, money order or check. You will receive a prompt receipt from our treasurer. Please let us hear from you at once." It will be seen then that two collection baskets will go around at about the same time and for worthy objects. When Editor Chase denominated Dr Washington as far-sighted, he knew what he was talking about. He is not selfish, for in both cases the money is not for his personal use, but for the use of others. In view of these disclosures, who would doubt but what such a master mind, such a skillful educational and political general may not be able to displace Bishop Alexander Walters and his coterie of friends and cause Rev Dr. J. Milton Waldron to look like a third edition of the old style Webster's Unabridged Dictionary³ The colored men of the Wilson Political Clubs are in danger, although they may not as yet have awakened to the fact. It may be necessary for Editor William Monroe Trotter to resurrect again those horrid "thug-looking" cuts of Dr Booker T. Washington and keep them standing in the columns of The Guardian. Our own opinion is that no shrewder man than Dr Booker T Washington has ever breathed the breath of life in this country. That he is maneuvering for a place of influence with the present administration is indicated by the signs of the times. Still, all of this is mere guess work and it may be that we have unintentionally misrepresented the disguised wizard from Tuskegee. Ala. Who can tell? GREAT TEMPERANCE UNION Lawson, South Carolina, Holds. Lawson, S. C., March 1—The Woman's Christian Temperance Union of Lawson, S. C., held its eight annual convention at the Bethlehem Baptist Church at Newberry, S. C., February 21 to 23. The president, Mrs. E. V. C. Williams, presided. Many hearty welcome addresses were delivered by the preachers, teachers, mothers, fathers and other friends of temperance of Newberry. Earnest responses were given by the general officers. The delegates showed much enthusiasm in the work, and happy results are sure to follow. The State motto, "Save the boys and girls." Uplift the fallen. Down with the rum traffic" was well discussed and helpful suggestions given by which said motto may be carried out. Excellent addresses were made in behalf of Mother Union, the Young People's Branch, the Loyal Temperance Legion and other departments of work. The reports showed progress. Many oledge signers were gained. The convention sermon was one of the strongest gospel temperance sermons ever delivered in the State. The pastor, Rev. J. C. Stirkland, used as a text Psalms 68:11. The choirs of the city churches, the Male Chorus, Rev. E. Gregg, principal of the Hoge Graded School, director, and the Y. P. B. delegates from the Ferguson Williams Normal and Polytechnic College of Abbeville, S. C., furnished excellent music. A special feature of the convention was a literature table from which hundreds of temperance leaflets were distributed, L. T. L. supplies sold, and books representing the fireside school work under the auspices of the Woman's American Baptist Home Mission Society were advertised and sold. Twenty copies of Hope were donated to earnest workers, subscriptions to Hope, organ of Fireside schools. The Young Crusader and Union Signal, organs of the National W. C. T. W., were solicited, and copies of the White Ribbon Monthly, State paper of the South Carolina (Lawson) W. C. T. U., were sold at the convention. This was in charge of the State L. T. L. secretary and city missionary of Columbia, S. C., Miss Julia A. Watson. The W. C. T. U. of Newberry tendered a very pleasant reception in honor of the convention on Saturday evening. A large audience, especially at the Sunday services, greeted the speakers, and the convention closed with the satisfaction that many towns and cities would feel the influence and that Newberry had gained higher ground for Christ and temperance. The officers for the ensuing year are as follows: President—Mrs. E. V. C. Williams, Abbeville, S. C. Vice President at Large—Mrs M L. Gassawoz, Anderson, S. C. Corresponding Secretary—Mrs. Mary J. Miller Earle, Anderson, S. C. Assistant Corresponding Secretary—Mrs. Nettie B. Logar, Greenwood, S. C. Recording Secretary—Mrs. Celia Dial Sovon, Columbia, S. C. Treasurer and State Organizer—Mrs. L. A. J. Moorer, Orangeburg, S. C. Secretary of Young People's Branch—Mrs. R. A. Booulerare, Rockhill, S. C. Secretary of Loyal Temperance Legion—Miss Julia A. Watson, Columbia, S. C. The next convention will convene in Greenwood, S. C., September, 1014 Trotter Having Hard Time. From the Richmond Planet Editor William Monroe Trotter, of the Boston (Mass) Guardian, is having a hard time of it with his Democratic associates. The approval of the miscegenation law by the Democratic Chief Executive of Massachusetts and the passage of the Hardwick bill by a Democratic House of Representatives without even referring the measure to a House committee have made this hustling journalistic frantic. He has sent appeals to both Republicans and Democrats in Congress An amusing feature of the situation is the fact that William Monroe Trotter is president of the New England Suffrage League and secretary of the National Independence League telegrambed his thanks to Representative Mann, Republican floor leader in Congress. This would seem to emphasize the famous declaration of Frederick Douglass when he said, "The Republican party is the ship all else is the sea." Rey, Dr. J. Milton Waldron is active in the contest, but seems to be pessimistic as to the result. The longer we live the more we know. The question now is, "Can the Democratic party be trusted to deal fairly and squately with the colored people of the country, North and South, East and West?" We shall wait and see. A Little Advice. The Bee would suggest to its good friend, Bishop Alexander Walters, to get rid of a few of those "leeschee" that are hanging on to him for favors. It was but a few months ago of these self-same sneaks were calling at this office for favors, but who now believe that they have the Democrats fooled. They may have the good bishop fooled, but not The Bee. The attempt to helpless some of Bishop Walter's friends by seating them in the rear of the hall and some others who failed to receive an invitation to honor the bishop will do the bishop harm, although The Bee knows that the bishop had nothing to do with it. Narrow, contracted individuals should be made to know their place. It is regretted that Judge Terrell, Mr. Lewis and others were not called up to speak the other evenings. Both gentlemen would have given dignity to the occasion. The bishop should consult such levelheaded men as Newcom- Barnes, Bates, Peyton and others Asbury M. E. Church. The pulpit of Ashbury Church. Eleventh and K Streets Northwest. was occupied by Rev F A Cullen, pastor of Salem M. E. Church, New York, who delivered a soul-stirring sermon. The general theme was "Life a Contest." The morning and evening services were well attended. In the evening communion services were held, when more than 365 communed. Preparations are being made for the fourth annual conference, which will be held Monday night. Rev E S. Williams, district superintendent, will preside. The annual and benevolent collection will be taken this Sunday. The choir is making elaborate arrangement for the regular Easter musicale. Rev Clair is finishing his eleventh year's service, during which time there has been a marked improvement in every department of the church work. Board of Education of the District of Columbia, Washington, February 26, 1913. The Board of Examiners for colored schools will hold an examination on March 19 and 20, 1913, to secure lists of eligibles in Chemistry, Zoology, Botany, German, Physical Education, in the High School, and Practice teacher of grades 1, 2, and 3 in the Normal School. For information inquire of A. H. Glen, Secretary Board of Examiners, Franklin School, Washington, D. C. By order of William M. Davidson, Superintendent of Public Schools. 3 te a sp SN Zz mat <2. apes ‘ ‘onan = A Pee ae 62 | { < - rs g i} . oa So | ae FAN EA | TF iy P BF <j ope rit \G Ne Se AR AS Ke N. dy ep ; : ,...).ClUN ‘s, Mrs. Lillie ducket, OL New TOFS, Is in the city, the guest of Mr. and Mrs. A.

Pinchback, two of the best known of the younger attorneys of this city. recently announced the formation! of a partnership for the pat S03 E Street Northwest, in this city. On a visit to their splendidly ap- pointed offices the representative of The Bee was pleased to note that they were fitttd out with everything that pertains to an up-to-date law office. Mr. Gaskins was born ii Fairfax County, Virginia, in 1880. His par- ents early moved to this city, where he was cducated in the graded and high schools. He took his degree of bachelor of laws at Howard Univer- sity in June, 1905, and one month later was admitted to the bar. In his seven years of practice he has estab- lished an enviable reputation for abil- ity and learning in the Jaw and for honesty and fair dealing. Mr. Gaskins first came into promi- nent notice in the case of the United States vs. West, brought to test the jurisdiction of the then recently cre ated: Juvenile Court over cases of non-support of the wife where there were no children. The case was heard before Mr. Justice Stafford in the Su- preme Court on a writ of certiorari. and was carried to the Court of Ap- peals by the Government. In both courts the contention of Mr. Gaskins that the Juvenile Court was an infe- rior court, subject to corrective su- | pervision by the Supreme Court, and fits lack of jurisdiction in the cases above mentioned was sustained. Mr. Gaskins has had singular success in the conduct of capital cases, having had but one executiort out of eleven such cases. The greater part of his activity, however, has been in the civil branches of the law, where his success has been remarkablé Among the many notable cases which* he has conducted may be mentioned the bril- Rant ‘defense of the Grand Lodge of Elks in the United States. Circuit Court at Richmond, Va. This was a suit brought by B. F. Howard, the organizer of that institution (who had been deposed from its leadership) to enjoin the use of the name, emblem: and ritual of the order, and for $1,50¢ damages for alleged breach of his copytight to the ritual. When Mr, Gaskins entered the case a final de: cree by consent had heen rendered against the: order, but he succeeded in having the ‘case reopened, and on the hearing secured a decision in it: favor on every point. This decisior was of far-reaching importance ant put an end to all controversies with: in the order. s By this and many other successe: he has made a reputation as a,skill: ful pleader both in faw and equity, : careful and resourceful examiner ‘0 witnesses and an eloquent. forcefu and logical speaker. Because of hit carefulness, sincérity and courtesy: It is held in high esteem by the judge: of the variouy courts of the Distric and by members of the bar, botl white and colored. He is of counse for the defense of Nathaniel Green charged with committing rape upo: Mrs. Adelaide Grant last Christma: night, whose case is now pending be fore the Court of Appeals. Mr. Pinchback is the youngest sor of former Governor Pinchbgck o Louisiana and was born in New Or leans He received his early educa tion in the schools of his native cits and afterwards attended — Phillip: ‘Academy at Andover, Mass, In 186 he was appointed by§ President Me Kinley as a Lientenamt in the Ninti United States Volunteer Infantry ang served with credit to himself and hi regiment during their campaign i Cuba.

If one marble be snapped horizontally from the top of a table and another be dropped from the same height at the same instant, which reaches the floor first? This question is sent to the Scientific American by a correspondent, and the editor of that magazine answers it as follows: Sir Isaac Newton stated three laws of motion which from his time to the present have been universally accepted as true. The second law is, "A given force produces the same effect whether it acts upon a body at rest or in motion, whether it acts alone or together with other forces." You will see that the second part of this law covers the case of a ball dropped from a table and another ball shot horizontally from the same level at the same instant. The first ball falls by the force of gravity alone. The second ball has, as you say, two forces acting upon it. The ball obeys, both forces at the same time. It falls as if gravity acted alone. It goes by the blow as if the blow acted alone. Both balls reach the floor at the same instant. The Milk In the Coconut. South Africa natives along the Orange river have a way of producing "milk," which, primitive as it is, vies in ingenuity with the method of those who believe in the synthetic production of what the journalist, hardup for a synonym, has been known to call "the lacteal fluid." After cutting the top from a coconut, the native places the nut over hot ashes, so that the warmth may cause the fat and "butter" contained in the husk to be absorbed by the milk. This changes the milk's quality and gives it a palatable taste. In order to deal with several nuts at a time the natives construct rough "holders" from old iron hoops. The ashes are placed under the grating and the nuts set in it. Obviously there must be no actual fire beneath the nuts or they would be burned away and the milk be lost—Argonaut. The Matterhorn. Many mountains which long enjoyed a reputation of being absolutely unclimbable are now, considered as almost ordinary excursions. The Matterhorn for many years repulsed men who were among the foremost mountaineers of the day. Professor Tyndall and Edward Whymper were folled on more than a dozen occasions But on July 15, 1865, with Lord Francis Douglas, Hudson and Hadow, Mr Whymper eventually reached the summit, and it was in descending that the fatal slip occurred which cost the lives of his three English companions as well as of Michel Croz, one of the most competent of Swiss guides. Nowadays the peak is constantly ascended (with the help of guides) by tourists who have no pretensions to be mountaineers at all—Dundee Advertiser. Quesereat Town In England. Queerstown Town in England. The most curious town in England is Northwich. There is not a straight street nor, in fact, a straight house in the place. Every part of it has the appearance of an earthquake. Northwich is the center of the salt industry in Cheshire, England. On nearly all slides of the town are big salt works, with their engines pumping hundreds of thousands of gallons of brine every week. At a depth of some 200 or 300 feet are immense subterranean lakes of brine, and as the contents of these are pumped and pumped away the upper crust of earth is correspondingly weakened, and the result is an occasional subsidence. These subsidence have a "pulling" effect on the nearest buildings, and they are drawn all ways and give the town an extremely dissipated appearance. NEW THE SEWING MACHINE OF QUALITY.

PART OF GUARD UNDER ARREST Deposed President and Vice President Were Being Transferred From Palace to Prison When Escort Were Attacked—Official Report Says They Tried to Escape. Francisco I. Madero and Pino Suarez, the deposed president and vice president, were shot to death while a guard of rurales was taking them from the national palace to the penitentiary in Mexico City. General Huerta, the provisional president, and Francisco De La Barra, the premier, have disavowed the killing, and have informed the United States government that Madero and Suarez were killed by the bullets of their own friends in an attempt to rescue them. They say that the government profoundly deplores the occurrence and will track down and punish the murderers. United States Ambassador Wilson told your correspondent that he thoroughly believed there was a real attempt at rescue by some armed followers of Medero. He did not believe for a moment, he said, that the affair was framed up by the new government, as some intimated. He said that Senor De La Barra talked with him two days ago about a plan to remove ex-President Madero and ex-Vice President Suarez to the penitentiary for better security and comfort. Mr. Wilson said he considered this as proof of good faith on the part of the present regime. It seems that Madero and Suarez were advised of the project to transfer them to the penitentiary. They arose, dressed and entered an automobile in waiting in the courtyard of the palace. The auto had already been occupied by Major Carnedas and a force of armed rurales. The automobile immediately left for the penitentiary, followed by another automobile full of rurales. The machines had gone about two-thirds of the way to the penitentiary and were in the Colonia De La Bolso, Mexico's "Whitechapel" district, when, at the corner of Calle Le Cumberri, five armed men, crying "Viva Madero," fired upon the guards. These men were followed by some thirty others from a side street, who also fired volleys at the two automobiles, riddling them. From what can be learned, the prisoners took advantage of this attack to attempt their escape, and they were riddled with bullets, whether or not by the rurales or accidentally by their would-be rescuers, is not known. Two of the rescuers were killed and several others arrested. After the news of the killing of Madero and Suarez became known, Provisional President Huerta immediately sent for the newspaper men, making full and frank statement of the facts and promised to give the fullest details obtainable later, as he considered it most important to justify the government in the matter and avoid any suspicion that might arise that it was a put-up job. The widow of Madero obtained possession of his body only after Ambassador Wilson had interceded for her. Nearly prostrated from the frightful news that had come to her, she pleaded pitifully for permission to see the body. The government refused. Mr. Wilson called upon De La Barra and persuaded him to grant Senora Madero's request. General Blanquet delivered the body to Alberto Perez, Senora Madero's brother. Major Cardenas and two other officers who were in charge of the guard of rurales escorting the automobiles have been imprisoned pending an investigation by the attorney general. The following official statement of President Huerta was given out at the palace: "I called together the cabinet to report that Madero and Pino Suarez, who had been detained at the palace at the disposition of the war department, were taken to the penitentiary in accordance with a previous decision, as the result of which that establishment was placed under the charge of army officers for its better security. "When the automobile had traversed about two-thirds of the way to the Penitentiary, however, they were attacked by an armed group, and the escort descended from the machines to offer resistance. Suddenly the group grew larger and the prisoners tried to escape. "An exchange of shots then took place, in which two of the attacking party were killed and two others were wounded. Both prisoners were killed. The automobiles were both badly damaged. "The president and his cabinet have resolved that the affair shall be consigned to the military judicial authorities having to do with the attempts against military prisoners, such as were Madero and Suarez, so that they may make a strict investigation with the direct intervention of the military prosecutor general. "The minister of justice has asked that when these investigations are over—the case being of so exceptional G. O. P. PLANS REJUVENATION NO REORGANIZATION SCHEME Will Change Basis and Manner of Electing Delegates, But Committee Will Not Resign. The "get together" cry that has started and has been pursued by some of the leaders of the "progressive" faction of the Republican party has had its effect, and it is practically settled in Washington that a national convention of the Republican party will be called to meet, probably next fall. But this convention will not take up the proposition to "reorganize" the party which is the demand of the progressives. No doubt a determined effort will be made by men who wandered off the reservation in the last campaign to inject a reorganization scheme into the deliberations of the convention, but if the national committee decides otherwise, which it undoubtedly will do, the reorganization or, rejuvenation of the party will be left to a natural process. At this convention the subjects to be taken up will be a change of the basis of representation and, perhaps, a proposition to permit the Republicans of each state to elect delegates to national conventions in their own way, so that the choice in each state will be regulated according to the laws of the state. These are the important matters that will come before the convention. They furnish an excuse, if that be needed, for a convention that may wind up in a harmony meeting that will solidify the great majority of Progressives and Republicans. Senator Dixon, of Montana, national chairman of the Progressive party; Senators Bristow, of Kanas; Clapp, of Minnesota, and Poindexter, of Wash ington, will not, if they say, enter into any agreement that does not comprehend the complete capitulation of the Republican organization. These men will consider no other suggestion. They want to absorb the old party and enlist its members under the standard of the 'new Progressive party, with Colonel Roosevelt at its head. It was Senator Cummins who first proposed a national convention, and his proposition was scoffed at by many men in the regular organization, who declared that no reorganization was necessary. They hold the same view today, but they believe that if a convention were called for the purpose outlined by Senator Root—namely a change in the basis of representation and a change in the method of selecting delegates that will give each state the privilege of selecting delegates in its own way—it would afford an opportunity for leaders of both factions to get together and "make up." In short, they are willing to meet the Progressives half way. They will consent to a convention, but not to a reorganization. Reorganization; these men contend, must come by a natural process from within the party. It must start among the smaller units—the township, county and state organizations—and in a natural and gradual movement it will reach the national organization. BRUTAL WIFE MURDER Shocking Tragedy Witnessed Only by Three Children of Pair. At "Turkey Run," on the outskirts of Shenandoah, Pa., Mrs. John Semonowicz, thirty years old and mother of three children, was beaten and then choked to death, it is alleged, by her husband. It is said that he afterward carried the body some distance and threw it into a mine breach. The almost nude body of the murdered woman was discovered in the breach by searching parties. The police, after a hasty investigation, placed the dead woman's husband, John Semonowicz, under arrest, and he is in the lockup, charged with the murder. The only witnesses of the crime were the three sons of Semonowicz, aged respectively seven, four and two years. Neighbors say that Semonowicz was an overbearing, brutal husband, but that his wife was thrifty and made an excellent helpmate. SECOND G. W. TIES UP TOWN Fells Tree With Little Hatchet and Breaks All Electric Wires. "I can't tell you a lie, papa. I did it and with this little Boy Scout hatchet." This was the explanation given by Timothy Butler, eleven years of age, of Plantville, near New Britain Conn., when he was asked by his father to explain the felling of a tree that put every electric light, telephone and trolley car in town out of commission. The lad was emulating George Washington, and when he felled a maple tree service wires were carrled to the ground with it.

Puzzling Scottish Torms. There are many puzzling differences between Scottish and English law terms. For instance, bankruptcy is in Scotland an "act of sequestration," a solicitor is either a "writer" or a "law agent," the argument in a case is the "debate," the assize is the jury, a wrongdoer is a "delinquent," an idiot—in Scottish law—is "a fatuous person," and burglary is (with true Scottish caution) "housebreaking with an aggravation." Finally, an author is in Scotland not a person who writes, but the vender or seller of real property, from whom the title to it is derived. Willing to Help. Justwedd (to father-in-law)—Ahem!

"When I was a growing lad, and come upon many words in my reading that I did not understand, my mother, instead of giving me the definition that I applied to her, uniformly sent me to the dictionary to learn it, and in this way I gradually learned many things besides the meaning of the individual word in question—among other things, how to use a dictionary, and the great pleasure and advantage there might be in the use of the dictionary.

NO HOLIDAY NEXT TUESDAY. At Meeting of School Board It Was Claimed That Per Capita Cost to Instruct Scholars of Colored High and Elementary Schools Is Almost Double the Cost for White Pupils in Eastern High School. Baltimore, Md., Feb. 27—Whether the best results are obtained in teaching pupils of the Colored High and Elementary Schools the same advanced studies as are taught the white pupils, is to be investigated by the Board of Superintendents of the public schools. At a meeting of the School Commissioners yesterday afternoon Commissioner Robert Biggs offered the following resolution: That the Board of Superintendent be requested to consider and report with recommendations as to the advisability and desirability of revising the curriculum of the Colored High and Elementary Schools with the view of securing the best possible results for both pupils and the Department of Education. The resolution was passed. In offering the above, Mr Biggs cured that the per capita cost of pupils at the Colored High School is about $21, which is almost double the cost per capita for white pupils at the Eastern High School. Supporting the document, Mr. Biggs continued: In this per capita cost is attributable to the curriculum, we should know it, and to what extent the curriculum is to blame. This board wants to know, and the people of Baltimore want to know. if this large amount we are spending per capita for colored pupils is being expended to the best advantage of the colored pupils as above mentioned. It would be interesting to know what percentage of the colored graduates settle in Baltimore. Whether or not they fill the professions or what per cent. do, or what per cent. take up trades, or what per cent. take up domestic science in the home, or what per cent. of the graduates go to other cities, for whom this city is paying the cost of their education. Would Like Some Advice. Would Like Some Advice. I would like to get in touch with Booker T. Washington, the trainer of colored youth, and also get in touch with the head of the Hampton Normal School for colored pupils, and ascertain from these, and by inquiries of others, if it is a part of wisdom to educate the colored boys and girls in a Southern city to compete with our white scholars. I would like to know if it is right to educate these colored youths and girls and carry them through courses in German, biology, botany and like studies which we may call, for argument, studies of luxury, and thus make these people dissatisfied with their environments. Now, as a business question and in the proper discharge of our obligations to the taxpayers of this city, and our superior officer, Mayor Preston, should we follow out the curriculum for the pupils of the colored High School as laid down by the Van, Sickle administration. If you ask what Booker Washington has to do with the question, I want to tell you that he is a sensible, practical educator among the colored people. He strives to educate them to fill the most useful positions in life that are open to them. He aims to make good mechanics, good farmers, good workmen and good tradesmen of the men; and good housekeepers and good homemakers of the women. No Holiday on Tuesday. Commissioner Biggs also introduced a resolution to close the public schools on next Tuesday (Inauguration Day). Three of the commissioners voted for the adoption of the resolution and three against it. One refused to vote, so President-McCoker was required to cast the deciding vote. He voted against the resolution and it was lost. This will no doubt prove a disappointment to many of the school teachers, who counted on making the trip to Washington that day. Frank A. White, chief of the Bureau of Statistics, asked permission to use School Buildings. Nos. 62, 47, 54, 55, 80, 72, 48, 75, 71, 93 and 70 once a month for inspection of newsboys, who are required to secure permits to sell newspapers. The request was referred to the Board of Superintendents. A letter was received by the board from a woman on Druid Hill Avenue, complaining that in a certain section of Northwest Baltimore there are too many saloons within easy reach of pupils who attend six of the public schools. A committee of the board will submit the communication to the Board of Liquor License Commissioners. Mrs. Edwin J. Farber sent a letter to the board asking for co-operation in forming "bands of meyer" among the school children. This was referred to the Board of Superintendents. The announcement was made that on March 28, in the Eastern High School, there will be a debate between teams representing the Baltimore Cify College and the Baltimore Polytechnic Institute on the question: Resolved. That the legal voters of Maryland should be permitted to use the initiative and referendum in the enactment of all public general laws. Three janitors were reported to have been dropped for the good of the service. The committee on increased accommodations recommended that old School Building No. 12, Light and Poultney Streets, be sold OPPÔSES BIGG'S PLAN. City Councilman Cummings Explains His Views. Baltimore, Md., Feb. 27—First Branch City Councilman Harry S. Cummings, coming to the aid of his race, yesterday denounced the resolution offered by School Commissioner Biggs, at the board's meeting on Wednesday, in reference to a change of the curriculum for colored pupils in the high and elementary schools. Any change in the present instruction course, he said, would be a step backward, and claimed that a standard high school course is not a luxury but a necessity for a population of 90,000 colored persons. In his statement the Counselor said: I was much surprised when I read this morning of the action of our School Board in adopting a resolution looking toward a change in the course of studies in our high and elementary schools. The evident intention of this resolution is to eventually do away with a high school course and reduce our system, so far as colored pupils are concerned, to instruction in manual training and domestic science. By this action our School Board, instead of going forward is going backward. More than twenty years ago the School board established a colored high school and fixed its course of studies. The pupils coming up from the grades entered the high school, took the studies, and those who were proficient graduated, and in the course of time became teachers in our primary and grammar schools. So satisfactory has been their service that all colored schools are under the supervision and instruction of colored teachers. Now, if there had been no high school and a high school course such as we have now, the hundreds of young men and women who are teaching our children would not have been prepared for the most excellent service they are now rendering their race and the taxpayers who educated them. It must be remembered that there are nearly 00,000 colored people in our city, and to have one lone high school with a high school course is not by any means a luxury, but an absolute necessity. Where are we to draw our teachers and leaders from? Who are to be the instructors of our youth? How are the masses of our people to be lifted from ignorance if we are to be deprived of those means by which our bright young men and women can be prepared for these great responsibilities. For their higher education our white young men and women have the Eastern and Western Female High Schools, the City College and the Polytechnic Institute, while our lone high school stands as our only refuge along this line, and to change its course of studies, and thus deprive us of the only recourse for a higher education, would not only be going backward, but would be a gross injustice to our large population, who are all taxpayers, either directly as owners or indirectly as tenants. Mr Biggs would like to know what becomes of our graduates. I am glad to inform him that nearly all of them complete the course in its entirely stand ready to be employed, and are teachers as soon as they can be employed, in our schools; and I want to call the attention of the board, with all the emphasis that I can command, without reflection upon anyone, that there are young men and women, the product of our own schools, educated* by our own not compare in efficiency, and certainly not in influence or interest in mothers and fathers, and by our own taxpayers, who are of a high degree of efficiency, who have taken special courses in leading universities, and yet when positions of advancement are to be filled are made to step aside for some one brought from another city, who, in many instances, does our children. "Charity begins at home" and, all things being equal, our home product should have the preference. I have nothing to say against manual training or domestic science. I fathered the first manual training school for colored boys twenty-one years ago in the City Council. They are and must be followed by the masses, both colored and white; but the masses do not lead. They must have thinkers and leaders; they expect them and will follow them; and these thinkers and leaders must have a different course of instruction from that of the masses. Mayor Preston and his administration has all along shown a friendly disposition to help us in our upward struggle, and I hope that the School Board will halt before it sends us backward for nearly a quarter of a century in our educational life. May they help us to continue our progress and not throw obstacles in our way. May they give us more of our needs, and not take away that which we have, and which, from all principles of justice and right, belongs to us. The Friday Night Meet. The indoor games held on last Friday night, were, from an athletic and spectacular standpoint, a complete success. Never before in the history of the race have such a collection of keen and strong-limited athletes ever gathered to compete for honors on the athletic field as did assemble on this occasion. From New York the best of the colored boys in those cities came down wearing the colors of the Salem-Crescent Club, the St. Christopher Club, and other clubs. From Philadelphia there was Elsey and Warrick of the Southern High School, Yancey of the Northeast Manual, and Young of the Central High School, also representatives of the Comet Club and others who came to Washington. Lincoln University, sent down her track team, Hampton had on hand three of her Indians and four colored athletes. All of the prominent local elementary schools, high schools, and Howard University were represented. The Y. M. C. A. and other amateur Beside our own officials, there were on hand a number of the leading athletes in this section of the country. Jimmy Mulligan, a member of the famous relay team of Pennsylvania, on which John Taylor ran as anchor man, a member of the Georgetown relay team that still holds the world's record for 1,260 yards, now coach of the Georgetown University track team, was starter; "Nine Point" Costello, one of the greatest quarter backs and athletes in this section; Bob Eller, captain of Georgetown's track team; Chapman of Georgetown and many others of prominence joined in to make the meet a feature.

One of the most successful and spiritual awakening revivals ever held in the history of this church has just closed at Mt. Moriah Baptist Church, Rev J. H. Randolph, pastor. There were more than 100 accessions to the church and 83 were baptized and received the right hand of fellowship. On Sunday morning the pastor preached a stong and eloquent sermon to a large audience on the principles of baptism—what it is, what it means, the origin and nature of the word. During his discourse he declared that baptism is an outward sign of inward grace. All departments of this church seem to be increasing in usefulness and enthusiasm. Perhaps the most patent factor in the church life is the work done by the Missionary Society, under the direct supervision of Mrs. J. II. Randolph, who has always taken a keen and intelligent interest in her husband's successful career. On all occasions she has proved to be a worthy adviser The Sunday School, with Mr. J. E Epps superintendent, is constantly increasing. The C. E. Society, of which Mr. James Gilleird is president, is exerting a great moral influence in the community for good. We are joining with Mr. Isiah Johnson, the very efficient leader of the choir, to make the Easter music a crowning success, at which time the pastor will preach a special sermon on the resurrection of Christ. Last Monday night the Rev. Dr. E. Granville Sutton of Serleton, Africa, delivered a very instructive and inspiring lecture to a large and appreciative audience on "Africa's Service to the World and Her Claims on America." The speaker adduced many Biblical and historical examples to prove that the civilized world is greatly indebted to Africa for its civilization. The officers and trustees realize that the most urgent need of the church at present is to increase the size of the structure. Since the pastorate of Rev. Randolph, the congregation has vastly outgrown the seccommodations afforded by the present edifice. Steps will soon be taken to increase the size, but it has not been definitely decided whether there will be a new structure erected or the old one remodeled. ST. LUKE'S GREAT MEETING. Mrs. Anderson Packs Florida Avenue Baptist Church—Mrs. Walker, the Central Figure—Success of the Organization. Thursday night, February 27, Florida Avenue Baptist Church was crowded to hear Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, secretary and treasurer of the Independent Order of St. Luke. Mrs. Bessie B. Anderson, State deputy, presided and the Musical Club, of which Mrs. A. V. Clase is directress, rendered choice music for the occasion, Miss Beatrice Chase being the organist. Rev. Dr Walter H Brooks, pastor of Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, introduced Mrs. Walker in an entertaining address. Himself a member of the order, he paid a glowing tribute to the sterling qualities which fitted Mrs. Walker for leadership, praised her work and recommended the Order of St. Luke to the confidence and support of the people in Washington. Mrs. Walker was greeted with applause, and in an address of over an hour held the close attention of her audience. She gave a historic account of the order, which began forty-five years ago, stating that in the last fifteen years it has flourished beyond expectation. The organization, chartered under the law of Virginia, is subject to the close scrutiny of the State, officials, who have passed favorable judgment on the honesty and efficiency of its management. Rev. Dr. A. C. Garner made some appropriate remarks. The audience was invited to the lecture room, where refreshments were served. Several candidates were obligated after the close of the public exercises. DEANWOOD NEWS. A Pioheer Passes Away. the funeral services over the remains of Mr Washington Wilson took place at his late residence, 620 Fifty-seventh Street. East Deanwood, D.C. Saturday, February 22. The services were conducted by Rev Levi Washington, pastor of Tabernacle Baptist Church, of Burville, D.C. spoke of him as a man, as a citizen, as a Christian, and a brave soldier. It was a most eloquent tribute paid Mr Wilson by Rev. Washington, who is loved by the entire community as a Christian worker. He said further that Mr. Wilson was a worker in the Tabernacle Baptist Church and had accomplished much toward the advancement of his home church. He was an old and trusted employee of the United States Capital and an honorably discharged soldier of the regular army. Death of Mr. Briles. Mr. Daniel E. Briles, the father of Mrs. Mary E. Jones and father-in-law of Attorney Thomas L. Jones, while visiting his daughter and son-in-law was taken suddenly ill and died at their residence, 1001 Vermont Avenue, this week. He was buried from Walker's Memorial Church Wednesday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock. Mr. Briles has been under the care of a physician for a number of months.

We do our friends a valuable service when we call their attention to the valuable book entitled, "THE TIME IS AT HAND," in which are given many Scriptural evidences to prove where we are on the stream of time. "Men's hearts are falling them for fear" and many of the leading thinkers are proposing remedies to better conditions. The Scriptures assure us that man's extremity will be God's opportunity, and this book holds out an anchor to those who fear the wave of unrest now spreading over the world. The honest-t heart confesses that it is at a loss for an explanation of transpiring events. While we refer to this as the 'BRAIN AGE and the Age of ENLIGHTENMENT, neverthe less many realize that we are fast approaching a crisis which is wrapped in darkness owing to the present worldwide social, religious and political unrest.

A little book selling at only five cents, postpaid, is having a very wide circulation-running up into the millions. It contains some very startling information respecting the meaning of the word Hell. It claims to demonstrate, both from the Hebrew and the Greek of our Bible, that Hell is NOT a place of eternal torment; but merely another name for the TOMB, the GRAVE, the STATE OF DEATH. It affects to show that man was not redeemed from a far-off place of eternal torture, but quotes the Scriptures proving that he was REDEEMED from the GRAVE at the cost of his Redeemer's LIFE and that the Scriptural Hope, both for the Church and the World, is a resurrection hope based upon the death and resurrection of Jesus. The book is certainly worth the reading. The information it furnishes is certainly valuable, far beyond its trifling cost.
