VOL. XXXIII,NO. 52 UPHOLDCORROTHERS DR. CORROTHERS AND HIS CHURCH. The Officials and People Stand By Him—Unanimous Vote of the Church Demands His Retention—Bishop Walters Calls His Board of Bishops to Decide the Vexed Situation — Packed House Sunday Morning and Evening. The Galbraith Church situation is becoming complex and excitable. Sunday morning and evening standing room was at premium. Bishop Alexander Walters preached a significant sermon which the members thoroughly understood. An effort was made Monday by Bishop Walters to get Dr. Corrothers out of town and in the meantime Rev. Clemmons, Bishop Walters' candidate for register of the Treasury, was telegraphed for to take Dr. Corrothers' place in Galbraith. The board of trustees heard about and ratified Bishop Walters' choice. Dr. Clemmons would not be permitted to occupy the pulpit. Dr. Clemmons was advised of the situation and declined to come to the city as the successor of Dr. Corrothers. A church meeting was held Sunday night and Bishop Walters informed the church that all he wanted was two hundred and fifty dollars, and within twenty minutes $160 or $170 was raised. A wise trustee had a thought to strike him. He arose and asked the Bishop if $250 was raised and turned over to him would he guarantee the return of Dr. Corrothers. Bishop Walters said that he would do the best he could. The trustee therefore moved that Bishop Walters return the $176 that had been collected over to the church and then when Dr. Corrothers was returned the money would be paid and if the board of bishops don't vote for his return the people will retain him anyway. The situation is grave no matter how the matter goes. The matter has been turned over to the board of bishops by Bishop Walters for it to decide. It is claimed that the board of bishops has nothing to do with the matter. This is a new precedent and Bishop Walters alone can decide it. It is claimed that the removal of Dr. Corrothers is for political reasons. It is hoped that is not true. The Bee is in possession of certain information that would not look good in print and the sooner this matter is closed it will be best for the opposition. No bishop or a board of bishops will drive Dr. Corrothers out of this city. He has been a loyal friend to the entire board of bishops and whenever its members came to the city Dr. Corrothers was the only minister to entertain them. There are a few interlopers in and around this city who have no standing at their own homes who are opposed to Dr. Corrothers' Galbraith Church, and the citizens of this city will stand by Dr. Corrothers. There are loyal people in Galbraith Church. They know what Dr. Corrothers has done and is doing for the church. Galbraith Church was an unknown quantity prior to Dr. Corrothers coming to the church. WHITE MEN RAPE COLORED GIRL IN CAPE MAY. Alleged to Have Assaulted Hattie Majors While a Passenger on Street Car Upon Which They Were Motormen and Conductor.—Lightfoot, of Atlantic City, Forces Arrest.—Men Held Without Bail. (Special to The Bee.) Cape May, N. J., June 2. 1913. Richard Hess and Irwin Benstead, Jr., white, of this city have been held by Justice L. T. Stevens, of the Small Cause Court, for the September term of the Grand Jury for an alleged rape on young Hattie Majors, of Cape May Point. At the hearing which was given on Monday afternoon, Miss Majors who is a colored girl of eighteen years of age, testified that she left Cape May City on a street car, upon which Hess and Benstead were motormen and conductor, for Cape May Point on the evening of May 23d. It seems that there were several white passengers on the car at the time but they all got off the car before they had gone far outside of the city of Cape May. The conductor and motorman at once began to use vulgar language to the young lady and made indecent proposals to her, and Benstead began to draw the curtain of the car. Hess then took a seat beside the girl and put his arms around her. The girl became frightened and ran to the front of the car and there she was thrown forcibly upon the long seat by young Benstead, according to her testimony. After much wrestling, in which young Benstead received some scratches about the face, she managed to gain a sitting position. She was grabbed again from behind and her arms pinioned down by Benstead who sat with her in his lap. It was while in this position and held by the conductor that she was raped by Hess, the motorman. Besides this affair the girl testified to other brawls on this same car line and by the same conductor and motorman, the Saturday night previous to the date upon which she was raped. At this time Miss Maiors testified there was a party of white men and women upon the car who went through the packages of the girl, and from one took a piece of ladies' underclothing and displayed them for the entertainment of the passengers on the car. Nutter and Lightfoot Retained. The parent of the young girl had made several attempts to have the white men arrested, and although warrants were sworn out for them the men were not put under arrest. Finally the ministers of the place sent a hurried call to Atlantic City and summoned Attorneys Nutter and Lightfoot, of Atlantic City, who, after hearing the facts and that the girl's parents had not been able to get the men arrested after the warrants had been sworn out, decided to take a hand in the case. Attorney James A. Lightfoot left for Cape May-on Monday morning and on reaching the city at once went into conference with Justice Stevens. At three o'clock in the afternoon Irwin Benstead, Jr., was put under arrest. A little while later Hess was arrested and according to the statement of the constable, was committed in the charge of his coun- Held Under Light Bail. Held Under Light Ball. At the hearing young Benstead was represented by Attorney Lloyd, a former prosecutor of Cape May County. He catered a plea of "not guilty" to aiding Hess in raping the girl and by the cross-examination on the part of Attorney Lloyd, tried to show that the girl had not been raped. The girl displayed scratches she received about her person. Lawyer Lightfoot sprung a surprise when he offered in evidence two brand new ten dollar bills the girl and her mother had been given to hush the case. There was a war of words when the defendant's counsel made an attempt to show the girl's character would not bear close scrutiny. Upon all such questions, however, the defendant's counsel was overruled. At the conclusion of the case Judge Stevens said he felt there was enough in the case, and held young Benstead under three hundred dollars bail for the September Grand Jury. At this point Mr. Lloyd stated that imasmuch as the testimony would be the same in both cases that Hess would waive a hearing and he was held without bail. The ministers and citizens have organized to see that the girl gets justice in the case and will make an effort to have the Society for the Advancement of Colored People take an interest in the girl's case. REV. TAYLOR INSTALLED. Florida Avenue Baptist Church a Brilliant Scene—Rev. Jarvis Presides With Dignity—Dr. C. W. Childs Electrifies His Hearers—Mrs. Julia Lavton Makes His Hit Monday evening was the cap-stone placing of the above named church. The installing of their new pastor, Rev. Taylor, who under protestts left his flock in Newport News. The church was packed with the very best talent and, noted people of the Nation's Capital. Rev. Jarvis was master of ceremonies. The choir gave excellent music. Dr. Wiseman read most impressively the evening lesson. Mr. Wm. Calvin Chase, editor of The Bee, was first on the program. He came at a sacrifice because this was the anniversary of his paper. The Bee. As he grows older the better he gets He spoke of the work of the Baptists. How they stood together. Paid a glowing tribute to Lawyer Jabez Lee and the work he had accomplished for this church. Almost acknowledged that, though born and bred a Presbyterian, he was almost persuaded to be a Baptist. His remarks were received with applause after applause, showing that Editor Chase stands foremost in the hearts of the people of Washington. Dr. C. W. Childs Electrified His Audience. Prof. Nelson E. Weatherless represented the Masonic fraternity, Brother Harris the G. U. of, Oddfellows and Household of Ruth. Mrs. Julia Mason Layton, Supreme Deputy Counsellor, represented the Court of of Colanthe and K. of P.; Miss Nannie H. Burroughs. National Training School; Prof. Geo. W. Cook, Howard University; Rev. E. Ricks, First Baptist Church, Georgetown; Miss Anna Thompson, the "Tents." All the sneakers spoke in glowing terms of the great work accomplished by the Florida Avenue Baptist Church, the excellent workers, the ordeal through which they had passed. The excellent pilot they had at the helm, Dr. W. Bishop Johnson. All denominations were represented. All said "Go on." Dr Taylor is welcomed to Washington by Baptist ministers Union, Rev. W. D. Zarvis, Rev. Wiseman, of the Lutheran Church; Dr. I. N. Ross, of the A. M. E. Church; Revs. Garner and Randall, of the Congregational Church; Rev. S. Corrothers, of the A. M. E. Zarvision, and representatives of nearly every organization of our city. We bespeak for Rev. Taylor and Florida Avenue Baptist Church a marked success. The climax was reached when Prof. J. T. Layton, without an accompanist sang "The Battle is Won." Prof. Layton ranks foremost in musical lines in Washington, D. C. He has done more to advance Negroes in music than all the other musical folks in this city. The Metropolitan A. M. E. Choir, the S. Coleridge Taylor Choral Society, to say nothing of his work in the public schools of Washington. D. C., place him as a pioneer, as a leader, as the foremost leader in music among Negroes (yea, among the people) in the United States. LIARS AT WORK THE ST. LUKES MEET What is a Lie? ...Lie—A falschool uttered or acted for the purpose of deception, an intentional statement of an untruth designed to mislead another.—Webster's Dictionary. Liars are almost as numerous as grass blades, only they are by no means as harmless. There are many kinds of liars, varying in type from the disseminator of conventional "white lies" to the perniciously active scandalmongers who lie viciously, with or without conscious effort, in the cager desire to gratify a morbid craving for unwholesome gossip. The "white lie" is generally innocuous and may be pardoned, since it is usually inspired by a very natural desire to be "polite". For instance, a lady requests her friend's opinion of her new hat and dress. Of course, the friend says they are beautiful. Then when the hat and dress have disappeared, "It's a pity she hasn't a little good taste, her hats and dresses never become her. I never saw such ugly things." Similarly, when one meets a mother with her first-born: "Is that your baby? It certainly is pretty;" and this with bubbling enthusiasm. A moment later the one who praised encounters a friend. "Have you seen Mrs. So-and-So's baby?" the friend inquires. "Yes, I just left her. Isn't the baby ugly?" Well, where's the harm? Both the owner of the hat and dress and the mother of the child probably felt the better for the little untruths, and the liars have simply been conventionally polite. Next in degree of harmlessness comes the chronic exaggerator who lies unconsciously, without the least effort, and half believing his own untruths, particularly where his personal achievements are concerned, or where the desire exists to create a good impression. Liars of this class are easily recognized and are tolerated with an amused interest not unmixed with wonder at the simplicity of the mind that assumes in others such childish credulity. Then we have the personal benefit liars, those who he only on occasion, to secure an advantage of some sort, or to escape embarrassment. Harm may result in some instances from lies of this character, but it is not generally intended. Lack of moral stamina will account for the habit of lying with these people, and the telling of untruths is more a weakness than a vice. The merely mischievous liar is usually a trouble-maker, but, as with the preceding class, there is no premeditation, no actual intent to do injury. This kind of liar generally delights in the cerdulity of the listener and thinks himself funny. He gets a good laugh, then promptly forgets the last lie in the effort to it vent another. Finally, we have the spiteful, scandal-loving liar, who lies with vicious intent and with an utter disregard of every sense of decency and moral obligation. Liars of this sort stop at nothing in the effort to succeed in doing grave harm. As a rule, the nature of the lies spread abroad is about as vile as the mind in which they are conceived, the object being to gratify petty spite by bringing discredit upon others. No consideration of self-respect and honor, as regards themselves, their kin, or others, will give them pause. If a friend, a brother, or sister, must be smirched in the smirching of those who inspire the spite, friend, brother, sister, one or all, must suffer. A peculiar characteristic of this class of liars is, that past masters as they are themselves in the contemptible art, they yet resent with fury even the very thought of others lying to them, and at the same time they scan the truth with vague suspicion and seek for lies where none exist. A certain degree of low shrewdness will be found in such people. Wherever possible they seize upon an admitted fact as a basis to work upon, twisting, adding, and exaggerating without restraint, until a perfectly harmless truth has been converted into a luscious morsel for the scandalmonger. There is no way in which to gauge the extent of the injury these creatures succeed in doing, but it can not be doubted that it is extensive. Worst of all, perhaps, is the fact that it is almost impossible to suppress them. Recourse to the courts, where criminal libel is properly punished, is made extremely difficult on account of a natural shrinking from the glare of publicity of such of the people involved as entertain some little regard for decency. The traductor therefore generally escapes and continues to ply his or her vile trail unchecked, with sensibilities too obtuse to be impressed by the withering contempt of those who know. B. R. PINCHELL May 28, 1912. Dr. Washington in Town. Dr. Booker T. Washington arrived in the city Tuesday morning and was driven to the residence of Register J. C. Napier. He attended the trustee meeting at Howard University Andrew F. Hillyer and Wm. A. Sinclair were elected trustees of Howard University at a meeting of the trustees' board held Wednesday, June 4. St. Luke's In Baltimore St. Luke's In Baltimore. The St. Luke's, of Baltimore, held a large mass meeting in Rev. Dr. Norwood's church on Tuesday night. A dinner in honor of the R. W. G., Secretary Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, was served by the councils of the city at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry, North Carey Street. It was a splendid spread; A telegram came stating that urgent business in the home office in Richmond detained Mrs. Walker. Mrs. B. B. Anderson, Deputy; Mrs. Julia M. Layton, Past Deputy; Mrs. M. Collins, Organizer; Mrs. S. Barton, Secretary; Mrs. Richardson, Mrs. Murphy, President Baltimore Y. W. C. A.; and Mrs. Smith, Secretary, were among the guests who partook of this feast for the gods. At 8 o'clock a crowded house greeted them. A right royal welcome did they receive from Brother Norwood and his good folks. A very pleasing program by Baltimore talent was carried out. Rev. P. G. Jordan introduced Mrs. Anderson, who made an earnest appeal for the I O. St. Luke's. Mrs. Julia M. Layton filled Mrs. Maggie L. Walkers' place on the program. In her usual-forceful manner she placed the St. Luke's formest among organizations. Twenty persons were inducted into the Order. The Washington ladies spent the night in the Y. M. C. A. Home. They found every bed occupied by the working girls; cots, etc., had to be spread in the parlors to accommodate the good people from the Nation's Capital. Baltimore is doing excellent work for the working classes through the Y. W. C. A. Mass Meetings in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The St. Luke's seems to be taking on new life all over the country. on new life all over the country. Friday Mrs. Julia Mason Layton was called by telegraph to fill engagements in Philadelphia, Pa., and Salem, N. J., for Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, R. W. G. Secretary-Treasurer of the I. O. St. Luke. In the drenching rain Mrs. Layton sped over the Pennsylvania R. R. for the city of Brotherly Love. She was met by Mr. A. F. Angel, State Deputy, and went directly to St. Paul Baptist Church. By the way, Mr. Angel is one of the biggest hustlers and best deputies of the Order. His people all love him and obey his call. He has about 150 folks to induct in the Order. Drs. Graham, Moses and Johnson, all prominent pastors of Philadelphia, were present Mrs. Layton was received with honor and her able address applauded again and again. A regular Dutch supper was served after the initiation. While in Philadelphia Mrs. Layton was the house guest of Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Angel. These good people come from the F. F. V.'s of old Virginia They know how to entertain. They do it in royal style. On Saturday afternoon, Mr. Angel and Mrs. Layton went down to Salem, N. J. They were met at the train with a brass band that sounded like our U. S. Marine Band. A committee in open carriages escorted their guests through the principal streets. It was a novel sight. This entire city, regardless of race, came out to do honor to Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, but Mrs. Layton was filling the bill in her stead. They went to Mr. Dickson's excellent and beautiful home and were royally treated. After supper they drove to the hall and in spite of the fact that it was 25c. for admission, it was crowded, this immense hall. The pastors of the five colored churches of Salem were present to help Dr. Holly out. He is building a new and commodious church. They regretted the absence of Mrs. Walker, yet Mrs. Layton spoke to them about 45 minutes and so impressed were they with her that she has been invited to return in July to take part in a large mass meeting. Sunday at 4 o'clock she spoke to a most excellent congregation in the Monumental Baptist Church of which Rev. Moses is pastor. Mrs. Layton spoke from the 23d Psalm and compared the Order of St. Luke as the Good Shepherd, etc. All seemed much pleased. Rev. Corrothers, formerly pastor in Connecticut, and his good wife (Miss Harvey of this city) were present and the Reverend paid a glowing tribute to Mrs. Layton's work in the District. Said she represented the "Upper Ten" and "Lower Five." Mr. and Mrs. Angel served a special service in honor of their guest and had present some of Philadelphia's best people. Rev. Moses, the recently elected pastor of this church, is one of God's strong armour bearers and is doing excellent work in this vineyard. Mrs. Layton arrived in our city Monday morning praising Mr. and Mrs. Angel as hostesses and Mr. Angel as an organizer. The good people of Philadelphia, Pa., and Salem, N. J., as some of God's own people. Mrs. Layton, will leave soon for Montclair N. J., when she will be with Dr. Love and his great flock. NEW REAL ESTATE FIRM Progressive Young Men Organize Hill Pendleton Company. Messrs. Hill and Pendleton, two among the best known citizens of Washington, have organized an up-to-date real estate firm. Mr. Charles S. Hill is a graduate of law and possesses great business tack. He is a graduate of the public schools in this city, where, it is said, he stood among the highest in the class. He is a very polished young man and one of the leading members in the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church in this city. Mr. Ernest L. Penn, also a member of this firm and vice president, also attended the public schools of this city and graduated in law from the Howard University Law School. It is said that he has had a great deal of experience in real estate. Mr. Robert L. Pendleton is a practical printer by profession and a young man who has won his way in the art of printing by perseverance and hard work. He has an up-to-date office and a high salaried foreman of his business. He is a quiet and gentlemanly business man who knows his business and knows how to conduct it. Mr. Pendleton is a high Mason and has no doubt accumulated considerable means. This new real estate firm will deal in all branches of real estate, loan, insurance, and will publish each month a bulletin of all kinds of houses for sale and rent. It will be the aim of this firm to please its patrons. Their dealings will be strictly on the square. Rentals collected with promptness forwarded by mail regularly. Its loan department will be conducted in an honest manner. There is every reason for the colored people to patronize their own insurance agents when they can obtain equal advantages. This firm is incorporated under the laws of the District of Columbia. The Bee can with pride recommend this firm to the people because it contains honorable and reliable young men. What is greatly needed in this city are reliable real estate firms among colored people. This is no reflection on other individuals in the real estate business, because there are a number of them. In connection with the insurance department is accident, liability and automobile insurance, etc. The offices of this firm are at 609 F Street Northwest, Capital City Benefit Building, first floor. Place some of your business with it. NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE. President Daniel H. Freeman Arranging for a Big Meeting Monday, June 9. Daniel H. Freeman, one of the most progressive business men in this city and president of the local Negro Business League, has arranged for a monster business meeting Monday, June 9. President Freeman means to make the local league in this city the most progressive and up-to-date organization in this country. Secretary Coleman, one of the most polished women to be found, is the secretary of the local league. She is an up-to-date business woman and a hard worker.

Mr. Bush has been Receiver of the United States Land Office at this place for the last fifteen years, having first been appointed by Ex-President William McKinley, twice by Col. Roosevelt and the fourth term by Ex-President William H. Taft. Mr. Bush is the only Negro federal officeholder in the State of Arkansas and the office is now classed as "AA," which is the highest rating given federal offices. It is expected that the office will be given a white Democrat, as other offices throughout the country formerly held by Negroes have passed from Negroes to white men. Hotel Dale.

Woodford, wife of the former Minister to Spain, was arrested in Bridgeport, Conn., and placed under $2,500 bond because the automobile she was learning to drive ran into a laborer and killed him. The Governor of Illinois and Senator James Hamilton Lewis were penalized by the Cook County Assessors June 3. Senator Swann, of Virginia, will speak tomorrow at Arlington, Va., after the strewing of flowers on the graves of soldiers. Alfred B. Casey, of New Jersey, is said to be the first Negro to be appointed under the present administration. President Wilson approves Secretary Bryan's peace plans, but he wants a larger navy. The Court of Claims has decided that railroads have been underpaid. Hence, the government may lose $30,000,000. An army of grasshoppers is advancing into the United States from Mexico, forming a devastated trail eighteen miles wide, and an army of worms is advancing upon St. Louis, Mo. In all probability Capt. James F. Oyster and Mr. Rudolph will be the two Commissioners named. The colored branch of the Young Men's Christian Association, with Mr. Lewis Johnson secretary, is doing well. Editor James G. Lightfoot, of Atlantic City, is making a great church campaign to raise $20,000 for St. James Church, which is about to be sold. Prof. Roscoe C. Bruce will become an expert "automobilist" as, well as Prof. Layton will be an expert "motorcyclist." Both teachers of the youth will become adepts in the liberal arts. "Correspondent" is a prolific writer, notwithstanding what may be said against him. His news is always interesting and classy. Speaker Champ Clark is of the opinion that most public men are honest, but Senator Vardaman, of Mississippi, doesn't agree with him. The Board of Bishops have been called to pass upon the case of Rev. S. L. Corrothers. Representative Hefillin, in his speech a. Rockville, Md., Tuesday declared that this was a white man's government and it was the duty of the white race to keep it so. The investigation of the Senate lobby has not disclosed anything as yet. It is a mooted question whether a person should be classed a lobbyist if he advocates the passage or the defeat of a measure. A suragette was badly injured at Epsom Wednesday when she attempted to stop the King's horse. The members of the Metropolitan police force who were tried by the trial board for neglecting duty during the suffrage parade March 3 last have been acquitted. THE JAMES RECITAL. She Scores a Triumph—A Brilliant and Critical Audience, Greets Her. She Scores a Triumph—A Brilliant and Critical Audience Greets Her. At a recital given last Tuesday night. Miss Marie C. James proved herself an artist in many ways, and a musician of great ability, being gifted with a warm, rich voice of wide range and contralto quality. She has enhanced the natural gift by assiduous study. Miss James' versatility was shown in the wide range of the program, from Schubert's dramatic "Erkling" and the suppressed passion of "Margaret at the Spinning Wheel" to the outburst of joy in Del Riego's "Happy Song," all of which were done with adequate expression and excellent interpretation. The difficult "Lullaby from Jocelyn," with violin obligato, was especially well performed, the violin blending admirably with Miss James' warm rich tones. A good accompanist is so rare that we are glad to commend the work of Miss Williamson as being an admirable support to the singer, while Mr. Weir's violin playing quite sustained his reputation as an artist, and Miss Jones' piano playing, added to the charm of a delightful program. ALIEN LAWS FOR CONGRESS ALONE INTRODUCES RESOLUTION. Famous Peace Advocate Urges Amendment of Constitution to Place Sole Power of Alien Legislation In Hands of Federal Government. "Lack of Power Long a Defect." Washington.—To make it impossible in the future for a single state by the disregard of an international treaty to endanger the peaceful relations existing between the United States and a foreign power Representative Richard Bartholdt, a Republican, of Missouri, noted as a peace advocate, introduced in the house a resolution proposing an amendment to the constitution. In explanation of his resolution Mr Bartholdt cited the delicate situation in which this country and Japan find themselves as a result of the enactment of the California alien land law. Here is the text of the Bartholdt amendment: "The congress shall have the exclusive power to legislate on questions affecting the rights and privileges of citizens of other countries residing in the United States and the relations of the United States with other countries." The resolution was referred to the judiciary committee. Mr. Bartholdt in an interview stated that the weakest point in the constitution was its failure to give the federal government power to make treaties which it can promise to carry out. He said: "Long before the California trouble was even thought of the importance of O $ \textcircled{c} $ 1913, by American Press Association. our national government with regard to legislation by independent states affecting the rights and privileges of noncitizens or citizens of other countries or treaty rights of other countries was felt to be a serious defect in our scheme of government. The controversy with Japan has simply made this defect in result of the compromise which made the adoption of the constitution possible) an acute question. "If we are really a nation with a big N' and not merely a federation of states the power to legislate on such matters should be reserved to congress exclusively, and the constitutional amendment which I propose provides for just that and nothing else. "One of the most important functions of every government is to preserve the peace. In fact, this is one of the cardinal reasons why governments are instituted among men, but how can our own national government succeed in this great mission when any state by its own independent action can cause trouble with foreign nations whenever its legislators see fit to do so? There ought not to be any objection to the proposed amendment on the part of any state. "The national government is obliged to make the cause of any state its own, so that the action of an individual state can involve the whole nation in war, and in return for this protection it is but fair, it seems, that the national government should have exclusive power of legislation in matters affecting our international relations." TO HAVANA IN AEROPLANE. Flight From Key West Gains Aviator, Rosillo $10,000 Prize. Havana.—Domingo Rosillo, the Cuban aviator, arrived here in his airplane from Key West, having made the flight of ninety miles in two hours and twenty-five minutes. The city council of Havana had offered a prize of $10,000 to any aviator accomplishing the flight and sent a cruiser and two gunboats to patrol the route. Rosillo approached the city flying at an altitude of 2,000 feet. He then wheeled toward the west and landed at Camp Columbia. He experienced no difficulties during his flight. The winds were light, and there was only a slight haze. Englishman and Wife Have Second Nupitalts—To Claim Estate. San Diego, Cal.-Mr. and Mrs. Douglas F. Davis of Point Loma, Cal., were married here for the second time and later left for New York to hall for Maldenhead, England. At the ceremony, with their infant child present, the couple changed their names to Mr. and Mrs. James Douglas Bishop and thereby qualified for two English estates. Mr. Bishop is a son of the late James Bishop of Maldenhead, who was the owner of a large property. Because of family difficulties the son left home eleven years ago, assuming the name of Davis. He came to San Diego in 1910 and married Miss Mary Keith, a society girl. A year ago a relative left him $100,000. He was traced to southern California. On a train one day Bishop sat behind the chief of police of San Diego and heard him say that the San Diego police had received instructions to search for the missing Englishman. Bishop, however, did not disclose his identity. Last year a child was born to the couple. When Bishop heard a few weeks ago of the death of his father he decided that for his baby's sake he would claim his parent's estate as well as the $100,000. ESKIMO GOES FOR BRIDE. Gats Schooling, Lack of Which Once Caused His Rejection. Seattle, Wash.—Paul Patkotak, an eighteen-year-old Eskimo, will soon sail for Point Barrow, the arctic extremity of Alaska, on the schooner Transit to claim the hand of Miss Alice Ahlook, native teacher in the Point Barrow government school, who refused to marry him three years ago because of his lack of education. When he was rejected by Miss Anlook the youth trapped enough arctic foxes to pay for a year's tutelage and worked his passage to Seattle. Here he was permitted to enter one of the grammar schools because of the knowledge he had gained at the Polut Barrow school. His summer vacations were spent with a fishing fleet. During the last year he has learned shorthand, typewriting and bookkeeping in addition to his other studies. Patkotak came south clad in furs. He will return dressed in American clothing. Canton, O.-Peter Cocan, thirty-six years old, was literally carried away by music. He reached Canton from Llsza, Hungary, after crossing the Hungarian border in a huge bass viol on the back of a husky Roumanian disguised as a gypsy musician. Cocan brought first hand stories of the warlike preparations of Austria-Hungary for hostilities with Montenegro. He was himself drafted to serve in the army. He was just about to leave for America. He did not want to serve. Efforts to obtain passports failed. Each time he attempted to cross the border he was turned back by Hungarian soldiers who patrol the frontier. Determined to come to Canton at all hazards, he hit upon the plan of concealing himself in the bass viol. A companion concealed himself in a bass drum. Friends disguised as itinerant musicians carried them over the frontier. At one time they were stopped by a party of soldiers, who compelled the musicians to play upon the instruments in which Cocan and his companion were concealed. They escaped detection at this time, and, after crossing the border, they walked several miles to a railroad. "It was a thrilling experience," said Cocan, who has taken a job in a Canton mill. "As I lay in the big bass vrol I could hear the musicians parleying with the soldiers. Soon I heard a scraping of the strings. They played a popular song. Then the soldiers allowed us to depart over the border in pence, and we were safe." RELICS IN OLD INDIAN GRAVE. Oregon Workmen Uncover Interesting Mementoes of Hudson Bay Company. Oregon City, Ore.—While digging a drain ditch on the west bank of the Willamette river about a mile south of Oregon City workmen uncovered an old Indian grave. In the grave, which from its position is known to be at least 100 years old, were found an old bear trap and a flint lock rifle, both of which bore the mark of the Hudson Bay company. The bear trap is in a good state of preservation, but the rifle has been rusted into three pieces. Besides the rifle and trap there also were found fifty feet of glass and copper beads and a stone tomahawk. $1,000 in shirt to laundry Atchison, Kan.-J. W. Kelso of East Atchison came very near having a laundry bill of $1,005.12 for getting one shirt washed in a local laundry. There was $1,005 in the pocket of the shirt in checks and cash when Kelso sent it to the laundry, but missed it and recovered it before it was put in the wash. URGE NATIONS TO JOIN PEACE FETE International Conferees Extend Invitation to All. MARKS CENTURY OF PEACE. Resolutions Are Unanimously Adopted Inviting Co-operation of Nations In Making Celebration of the Signing of the Treaty of Ghent In 1915 a World Event In Cause of Peace. Lake Mohonk, N. Y.-At the conclusion of the international conference here to arrange for a fitting celebration of the signing of the treaty of Ghent in 1915, at which time one hundred years of peace between English speaking peoples will have been completed, the following manifesto was unanimously adopted by the conferences and is presented to the English speaking world and to those in other nations interested in the cause of universal peace: Representatives of Great Britain, of Newfoundland, of the United States, of the Dominion of Canada, of the commonwealth of Australia and of the municipality of Ghent, having been in conference concerning an appropriate celebration of the centenary of the signing of the treaty of Ghent, which marked the end of the last international war between the British and American peoples, unite in offering to the governments and the peoples of the civilized world an earnest invitation to take part in making this celebration in every way worthy of the hundred years of peace that it commemorates. We invite such co-operation to the end that it may be made clear and unmistakable to public opinion everywhere that the time has come when international rivalries and differences, though numerous and severe, may be settled without the carnage and the horrors of war. Although it be unreasonable to disregard the possibility of conflict arising in the future out of mutual or partial misunderstanding, yet we gratefully recognize that the chances of misunderstanding have been largely eliminated by the degree in which modern science has facilitated intercourse and accelerated communication. We are therefore encouraged to hope that the development of letters, science and the arts, of commerce, industry and finance, of mutual knowledge, trust and good feeling on the part of those who owe different allegiances and who speak different tongues may profitably absorb the energy of mankind as well as offer opportunity for the display of the noblest and finest traits of mind and of character. Great Britain has been a colonizing nation, and the United States has drawn to the population various and powerful elements from different countries and from different flags. Therefore a century of peace between Great Britain and her dominions beyond the seas on the one hand and the United States on the other hand touches directly both the interests and the imagination of every land to which Great Britain's sons have gone as well, as those of every nation from which the present day population of the United States has been drawn. Such a celebration will not only mark the close of a century of exceptional significance and importance, but it will call attention to an example and an ideal that we earnestly hope may be followed and pursued in the years to come. What nations have done nations can do. We respectfully request his majesty's secretary of state for foreign affairs and the secretary of state of the United States to transmit this invitation through the proper official channels to the governments of the world in order that both by the participation of governments and by the co-operation of men of good will in every land this celebration may be so carried out as to mark not merely the close of 100 years of peace between English speaking peoples, but the opening of what we sincerely trust will be a fresh era of peace and good will between all the nations of the world. TO POSTAL JOB APPLICANTS. Civil Service Instructions Out For Postmaster Examinations. Washington.—The civil service commission has prepared instructions to applicants for the fourth class postmasterships to meet the demand expected to follow President Wilson's order requiring that appointments to office paying $180 a year or more be made by competitive examinations. The instructions as to the examinations are identical with those sent out following President Taft's order of Oct. 15, 1912, except that where the present instructions apply to applicants for all offices paying $180 a year or more, last year's instructions applied to offices paying $500 or more. Kill 4237 Squirrels Sac City. Ia.-The farmers living in the vicinity of Early held their annual squirrel hunt the other day, nearly eighty men and boys participating. The hunters lined up on two sides, the side winning the most points agreeing to furnish a dinner in the evening. At the close of the hunting the winning side was 2,310 points in the lead, and a total of 4,237 squirrels was reported the dead bodies filling a dray wagon. Diver Stumbles Upon Wreck at Depth of Sixty Feet. Tacoma, Wash.-The cannery schooner Sadle F. Galler, lost at sea eighteen years ago, has been called back from the port of missing ships. Walter McCary of this city, a submarine diver, "stumbled" upon the vessel in sixty feet of water near Chilngul lagoon, Alaska, recently and is preparing to take out of the wreck nearly $50,000 in tin bullion with which she is laden. He is on his way back to Alaska to salvage the cargo of the Galler. McCary was placing a fish trap when he found the wreck. Scraping away the weeds and barnacles he uncovered the name board. Investigation showed the schooner had cleared from San Francisco for the canneries eighteen years ago and foundered off the Alaskan coast at a point far from her present resting place. McCary reached an agreement with the owners and consignees under which he will get 50 per cent of the salvage. JOKE ON "ARCHAEOLOGISTS." Boys Bury Skeleton and Profound Discussions Follow. Newton, N. J.-The Sussex County Historical society has acknowledged that it was hoaxed by a band of schoolboys. Learned members of the society had held many profound discussions over a skeleton dug up recently by workmen at an excavation near the Barrett homestead, in Main street. The amateur archaeologists had about decided the skeleton was that of an Indian. Preparations were being made to have it set up in a private museum. The boys who perpetrated the joke, however, whispered their secret to their friends. Soon it was common property that they had found the skeleton in the garret of the Barrett house and buried it so that the laborers would dig it up. The skeleton used to be the property of Dr. Thomas Ryerson, now dead. HARVESTER TRUST'S PROFITS $16,500,000 Chicago.-Cyrus II, McCormick, president of the International Harvester company, made public here the report of the corporation for the year 1912, which shows a net profit of $16,395.597.16 on a total income of $126,518.237.62. The capital stock is $140,000.00, and the surplus on Dec. 31 was $31,586,544.06. In his comments on the general situation last year Mr. McCormick says: "The year 1912 was one of exceptional prosperity for the farming community throughout the world. The production of the principal grains increased, almost 20 per cent over the preceding year and yielded a crop value considerably larger than any previous record. This created an increased demand for harvesting machinery, tillage implements and other farm appliances and enabled the company to make a substantial gain in the gross volume of sales. The increase effected in net earnings, however, was not proportionate to the gain in volume, owing to the reduction in selling prices of the company's principal lines. "The expansion of the foreign trade continues. The sales of harvesting machinery abroad increased 23 per cent, and the sales of other farm implements, engines and tractors increased 14 per cent over 1011. The foreign trade now exceeds 40 per cent of the total business of the company and contributes more than proportionately to the net earnings, while the domestic sales of harvesting machinery and twine in 1012 were less than two-thirds of the total business." HYPNOTIST TO PAY $5,000. Boy Gets Verdict For Cruelties Inflicted at Exhibitions. St. Paul. — Because of cruelties he had suffered Oscar Larson, fifteen, of Minneapolis was awarded a judgment for $5,000 against Chris Neseth, alias George Newman, who posed as a hypnotist. The acts of cruelty complained of consisted of tortures inflicted on the boy during a course of hypnotic exhibitions throughout the northwest in the fall of 1911. In one act he was compelled, he said, to support three men on his body as he lay rigid with his neck on one chair and his heels on another. In another pins were thrust into his lips, and he was sent among spectators to have them pulled out. BEE WRECKS A TROLLEY CAR. Buzzing Scares Motorman, Who Jumps—Thirteen Passengers Hurt. Philadelphia. — A big bumblebee so scared A. W. Schlater, a motorman of a Wayne avenue car, that he deserted his post and the car ran wild, coming into collision with two wagons and causing a panic among the passengers, thirteen of whom were injured in the wreck: Schlater said he first tried to chase the bee away. The more he waved his arms the harder the bee buzzed. Finally the buzzing so got on his nerves that he jumped from the car, forgetting to turn off the power. DEDICATE STATUE TO MAINE HEROES Great Naval and Military Pageant Precedes Dedicatory Exercises In Which Maine's Commander and Chaplain and Other Survivors Take Leading Part. New York.—Amid impressive ceremonies appropriate to the memory of the piteous tragedy it symbolizes the national Malue monument was dedicated here. A military and naval pageant, participated in by the nation that was given birth through it and the nation whose ship and men paid the frightful cost, was the most striking feature of the occasion. Free Cuba was represented by three special envoys, delegated by the Cuban THE FOUNTAIN OF THE WORLD THE NATIONAL MAINE MONUMENT congress, and a Cuban warship, the Cuba, with a representative detachment of soldiers and sailors from the little island republic. Soldiers and marines from the American warships in the harbor, regular troops, militiamen, Spanish war veterans and distinguished civilians all united to make the dedicatory exercises the most impressive seen here in many a day. Father John 13 Childwick, who was the chaplain aboard the Maline when she was blown up in Havana harbor on Feb. 15, 1888, assisted by a group of survivors, laid the wreath contributed by the nation before the prow of the ancient galley, carved out of a huge block of Tennessee marble, typifying man's mastery of the sea. Rear Admiral Charles D. Sigsbree who was captain of the Maine, also acted in a similar capacity. Miss Ruth Gaynor, daughter of Mayor Gaynor, placed the wreath given by the city of New York, while Governor Sutzer personally placed the wreath contributed by the state. Ex-President Taft delivered the dedicatory oration and Bishop David H Greer the invitation. The monument, a notable piece of sculpture, occupies one of the most beautiful sites in New York, being located at the Elghth avenue and Fifty ninth street entrance to Central park Attillo Piccarrill, A. N. A., was the sculptor and H. Van R. Magonigle, F. A. I. A., the architect. The central feature of the monument is a pylon $18\frac{1}{2}$ by 21 feet and 40 feet high, paneled on its four faces and flanked by two colossi, representing respectively the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. The figures are of heroic proportions, each to a scale representing a man of fourteen feet—the Atlantic a youth in the fullness of his strength, the Pacific an aged man, half slumbering. At the base of the shaft is a group of sculpture antebellum in idea—Courage awaiting the flight of Peace and Fortitude supporting the Feeble. The lower part of the pedestal supporting this group is a conventional gallery prow, on the bow of which kneels the figure of a boy holding wreaths of olive and laurel, suggesting the new era inaugurated in Cuba through the war precipitated by the destruction of the Maine. The monument has been built by public subscriptions from all parts of the nation. The work, which has taken en years, has been in the hands of the national Maine monument committee, consisting of William R. Hearst, John W. Keller and General James Grant Wilson. As America contributed the money so also gilt it furnish all of the materials that entered into the construction of the monument. The material for the pylon, the gates and wall of Tennessee marble, with a granite base, while the golden group surmounting the shaft is of bronze from the guns of the Maine, richly gilded. KIND OF WIFE HE WANTS: Undismayed by Past Experience, Wil Try It Again, Oxford, O. — William Duke, rged eighty-three, a farmer living a few miles west of here, near the Indiana line, has the following advertisement in a local paper: WANTED—A nice, good, healthy, Bible and church loving woman, who will cook and wash and do my mending. To such a woman I will pay a small salary, give a good home and furnish a horse and buggy for her trips to town. There is something pathetic in Mr Duke's appeal. In the last thirty years he has spent a small fortune looking for wives and housekeepers. He has been a faithful patron of matrimonial journals in all parts of the country. Once, about four years ago, he married a woman from Texas, whose acquaintance he made through a newspaper. It cost him several thousand to get rid of her. On another occasion he would have lost his farm to a woman had not the courts intervened. He once sent $200 to a woman in Oregon to pay her railroad fare and other expenses in coming here to marry him. She never showed up. SUES FOR STERILIZATION. Lunatic Who Recovered Reason Asks $10,000 Damages. Appleton, Wis.—Mayer J. V. Cana van, who was formerly county physician, has been made codefendant in a $10,000 damage suit brought against George R. Downer, superintendent of the Outagamie County Asylum For the Insane, by Victor Relner, as guardian of John Repfeldt, the subject of a sterilization operation. It is charged that Repfeldt was operated on while an inmate of the asylum two years ago. Unsuccessful efforts were made to have the superintendent, Downer, tell who performed the operation. Repfeldt is now out of the hospital, having regained his mentality and is able to support his family. The case is without precedent and is being followed with keen interest in numerous states where laws legalizing sterilization are under consideration. OLD LEADEN TABLET IS HISTORIC RECORD Was Buried Near Fort Pierre, S. D., In 1742. Fort Pierre, S. D.—A tablet of lead buried in a hillside, now near the center of Fort Pierre, by French explorers in 1742 has been unearthed by schoolgirls here. Thus after 170 years was recovered the memorial of one of the most interesting and significant facts in the history of the west—namely, the claiming of the region for France and definitely determining the point where Chevallier de la Verendrye and his comrades reached the Missouri on their return from the west. About thirty-three years before the Revolutionary war Pierre Gauthier (Chevalier de la Verendrye), accompanied by his younger brother, François, and two other Frenchmen-St. Louis of Loudette and A. Miccett—left Fort la Reine, on the Assiniboine river in Canada, a short distance below the mouth of Mouse river. They were charged with orders from the governor of Canada, Marquis de Beauhurnais, to discover the sea of the west, beyond the Mandans, according to the reports of the savages. The explorers departed from Fort la Reine April 29, 1742. They returned July 2, 1743. Verendrye was twenty nine years old at the time of the adventure. The party reached the Mandan villages located near the mouth of the Heart river. In North Dakota, May 19, 1742. They departed from there July 21 and proceeded in a southwesterly direction until Feb. 9, 1743, when they turned their course southeasterly and reached the Missouri river at Fort Pierre March 19, 1743. They left Fort Pierre April 2, arrived at the Mandan villages May 1 and reached Fort la Rene on July 2. While at Fort Pierre, which marked the southernmost part of the journey Chevallier de la Verendrye formally took possession. In his journal of the trip, addressed to M. le Marquis de Banharnals, Verendrye said: "I placed on an eminence near the fort a tablet of lead, with the arms and inscriptions of the king, and a pyramid of stones for M. le General I said to the savages, who did not know of the tablet of lead that I had placed in the earth, that I was placing these stones as a memorial, of those who had come to their country." When he and his companions departed for Fort la Reine the only lasting evidence of their visit was the pile of stones on the crest of a hill near the Indian village and the tablet of lead buried there, unknown to any one save Verendrye. Kansas City - When David Ross of Waverly, Kan., a farmer, decided to move to Kansas City to engage in the real estate business a transportation problem confronted Clifford, his nine year-old son. Not wanting to leave his Indian Shetland pony behind, he rode it the eighty-five miles to Kansas City. It took him two and a half days to make the trip, and he arrived without mishap. He stopped on the way at farmhouses. BATTERING DOWN WALLS OF HELL Not the Sheol of the Bible, Says Pastor Russell. BUT THAT OF THE DARK AGES Jesus Promises to Destroy the Bible Hell—Why the Superstitious View of Hell Should Be Battered by All Lovers of Truth—The Bad Effects of the Error—Faith In True God Is Vanishing Because of This Colossal Error, This "Doctrine of Demone" Invention—Not Learning, but Ignorance, Opposes Error's Destruction. PASTOR RUSSELL Kansas City, Mo., June 1.-Pastor Russell addressed here today large audiences of Bible Students. We report one of his discourses, in which he declared the hell of the Bible a totally different one from the hell of the Dark Ages. This error, he said, still casts a gloom over the masses and hinders a proper appreciation of the Divine character re Love and Justice. He took a combination text: "O Sheol [hell], I will be thy destruction" (Hosea 13:14); "O Hades [hell], where is thy victory?"-1 Corinthians 15:55. My text, said the Pastor, teaches that Jesus will destroy the hell of the Bible, the tomb—the state of death. He will do it by delivering all mankind from death by the resurrection. Thus He will ultimately gain His great victory over sin and death, and deliver humanity from their power. No one but Jesus can do this. Hence we must wait for the appointed time—the establishment of the Messianic Kingdom. Meantime, it is ours to batter down the hell of torment which for centuries has troubled God's salants, and turned the hearts of the masses from their Creator. The Pastor dealt some vigorous blows at the doctrine he condemned. They were not blows of anger nor of sentiment, but blows of logic and of Scripture. He urged his hearers not to think that the cultured and intelligent ministers oppose him. His opponents are comparatively few, he said, and they are of two classes. Some good, and honest, but ignorant; others thoroughly informed, who no more believe in a hell of torture than does the Pastor, dodge the question and give the impression that they believe it, so as to hoodwink the people, and keep them in darkness on a subject of the most vital importance to human happiness, now and throughout eternity. The masses of Christian ministers are educated. Preachers in general know well that the Bible does not teach a hell of torture—that the words Sheol, Hades, Gehenna and Tartarus do not signify a place of torture—where all except the salty will everlastingly suffer. These ministers do not come forth into the open with me to combat the error, presumably because they do not realize that this terrible blasphemy against the Divine character lies at the bottom of nearly all the godlessness and the growing unbelief in the Divine Word now prevalent. To me it is evident, said the Pastor, that reverence for God and faith in the Bible can never be restored until this great Moloch of false teaching shall be demolished. This explains my zeal for the exposing of error of the past, and for the revelation of truth on the subject of future punishment. All the precious promises of the Bible and all its just penalties are negatived and made of none effect by this colossal error of the past, whenever it is recognized, conceded. The Pastor did not on this occasion attempt explanations of some of the three or four parables, which by mistranslations, misunderstandings and interpolations have been made to support the God-dishonoring doctrine that everlasting torture is the wages of sin, in contradiction of the Bible statement, "The wages of sin is death." He contented himself with reminding his hearers that he had already preached on the parable of the "Rich Man and Lazarus," the parable of the "Sheep and the Goats," and the Lord's statement, "where their worm dieth not and their fire is not quenched"; and again in Revelation, about the Devil being cast with the beast and false prophet into torment. These four figurative statements, the Pastor declared, are the whole basis, so far as the Bible is concerned, of the doctrine of eternal torment. He had preached upon all of them. Many of his hearers had read his sermons and were familiar with the reasonable expositions of these Scriptures. To others who have not heard and have not read, he offered to send his views in printed form, free upon postcard application. The God of All Grace. The God of the Bible, said the Factor, is such an one as every human heart needs and craves. He is a God of sympathy and love, respecting whom it is declared (Psalm 102:19, 20). that He looked down from His Holy Habitation and beheld, and He heard the grooming of the prisoners. "Then His own Arm brought salvation" (Isaiah 63:5). The grooming of the prisoners was not in some far-away fiery furnace, but right here on earth in every home. St. Paul declares, "The whole creation groaneth and travailleth in pain together." He is quite right. Our race groans because we are slaves of Sin, and Sin is paying us the prescribed penalty, namely, death. We are a dying race, mentally, morally and physically. We are more and more disappointing to ourselves and to others, and we hasten toward the tomb, slaves and prisoners — go down into the great prison-house of Death. That prison-house of Death the tomb, is the Bible hell. All the aches and palms which come to us as we approach and enter the prison are incidental parts of the penalty. But He has purposed a blessing upon every member of the race, all of whom have suffered the loss of Eden happiness and of life itself through the disobedience of the first man, Father Adam. The Second Adam is to completely undo the work of the first, and to give to every member of the race fullest opportunity for reconciliation and return to the Father's House. The work of Jesus at the First Advent was only a preparatory one. His death was necessary as the corresponding price for the sin of the First Adam. Only by paying that penalty could He ever have the right to destroy the great prison house—the tomb, Hades—and to deliver the prisoners by resurrection from the dead. His work was satisfactory. He has been received up into glory "where He was before," only with added dignity at the Father's right hand. There He waits, the Psalmist tells us, for the hour to strike when He shall take His great power and reign—Psalm 2:8-10. The first feature of His campaign will be the blinding of Satan. Then He will cause the Sun of Righteousness to shine forth, with healing in its beams. The light of the knowledge of God shall fill the whole earth. Every knee will bow and every tongue confess. All will have the fullest opportunity for return to God, and only the willingly disobedient and rebellious against light will die the Second Death, and go into "everlasting destruction." "He Upon the Throne Said." Beautifully does the Book of Revelation picture the coming glories of Messiah's Kingdom and the blessings to mankind. Mark that it is the enthroned Messiah who declares, "Behold, I make all things new," and who tells that, as Jehovah's Messenger and Representative, He will wipe away all tears from all faces and give beauty for ashes, and the oil of joy for the spirit of sadness.—Revelation 21:4; Isaiah 61:13. The God of Love and Grace, the God who sympathizes with His creatures and who promises ultimately to wipe away all their tears, is the only God who appeals to the human heart and head. Our misconceptions in the past served to drive the world further and further away from God, and even the saintly found it difficult to worship Him in spirit and in truth—so dense was the cloud of ignorance and superstition which enshrouded us. Hark to Cardinal Newman's words. "Lead, kindly Light "Lead, kindly Light, Amidst the encrlcing gloom." God is sending out His light and truth. The encircling gloom is breaking. The errors and superstitions which hindered us from seeing the beauty of God's Word are being scattered. The light from one page and statement is shining upon another. The entire Word of God is heard as never before. God is speaking. His people are hearing. Bible Students in all parts of the earth are awakening to the unsectarian study of the Lord's Word.-2 Timothy 2:15. True, Satan is still active. He is not yet bound. The Prince of Darkness hates the light, battles against it, and enlists on his side as many as possible Alas, that he is able to gain a few as honest and as blind as was Saul of Tarsus, nineteen centuries ago. These now breathe out threatenings, as did Saul. But we have confidence that all sincere ones of them, like St. Paul, will soon see a great light and hear the great voice of the Master, and be fully delivered from the evil spirit of persecution, which, in our day, uses slander and "shoots out arrows, even blitter words" to destroy the Message and the messengers of the Prince of Light, now shortly to take His power to reign for a thousand years, subject ing all things to the Divine standards "Doctrinae of Demons." The Pastor declared that in his judgment there is no doubt that the Church during the Dark Ages came under the influence of the "doctrines of demons" referred to by St. Paul. He declared that the demons of the Bible are identical with the fallen angels of Genesis 6. They seek to hide their identity, representing themselves as holy angels or as dead human beings speaking to the living through mediums, as in Bible times through witches, wizards, necromancers, astrologers, soothsayers, etc. These, under Satan's domination have for centuries sought to substantiate Satan's lie, and to deceive mankind into believing, that the dead are not dead—into believing that Satan told the truth, saying, "Te shall not surely die," and that God told the untruth when He said, "Thou shall surely die." To turn the hearts of men away from the God of Love and Mercy, they have traduced His character and cultivated human fears. Light and Darkness in Foreign Lands. The Pastor related some of his experiences amongst the heathen in India. The more intelligent quickly learned of the difference between the Message of God's Love which the Pastor bore, and the message they had heard from the missionaries. Some of them appealed to him to stay longer. for they wanted to hear more. They declared that they could not accept the teachings of the missionaries, to the effect that all of their forefathers had gone to a hell of torture, simply because they, never heard of Jesus. They declared that they could not believe in such a God, even though they respected the intelligence of the missionaries on other subjects. They said, "Our gods do not allow us to torture even brutes or insects, and hence would not themselves delight in torture. How can we receive the Christian's God, with sentiments less noble, than our own?" The Pastor's reply was, Dear Friends, we have all made mistakes, more or less in the past. God's Word is now opening up to us more and more. We are learning wherein we misunderstood Him and His gracious purposes. Begin a proper study of the Bible. You will find it soul-satisfying beyond all else. The Pastor tells that in India scores of Bible Student classes are springing up; and native teachers in India, China, Japan and Korea are hearing of the God of Love and Mercy and of the better and clearer understanding of the Bible, with rejoicing hearts. The Gospel of the Kingdom—that Messiah is soon to become the great King, to establish righteousness, to overthrow sin and to uplift humanity—he says appeals to the simple minds of the Orient; especially to those attracted to Christianity, but unable to enter heartily into its service because of the darkness, mysticism and unreasonableness attaching to its exposition. The prayer of our Methodist friends, "Send out Thy Light and Truth, O Lord," is surely being answered, said the Pastor, even though some godly Methodists are slow to perceive the answer. The Message of the Love of God which passeth all understanding is the Message which was forceful with our own hearts as Christians, and is the only Message which has power; hence our Master's prayer, "Sanctify them through Thy Truth; Thy Word is Truth."—John 17:17. Fear may be the beginning of Wisdom, but Love is surely its goal. Perfect love casteth out all fear, and brings us near to the great Fountain of Grace and Truth, Mercy and Love. In His Divine presence and fellowship we find a transforming work progressing in our hearts—and more and more such become copies of God's dear Son and prepared for a share with Him in the glories of His Kingdom. Ignorance and Fear Oppose. Only ignorance and fear can oppose the Message of God's Grace, and prefer the doctrines of demons. Only the narrow-minded can pray, "God bless me and my wife, my son John and his wife, us four and no more." All of our breadth of heart and head must concede that a God wise and powerful enough to be man's Creator must also be just and loving; for injustice is unwise, and lovelessness is devilish. God declares that His work is perfect, and that He made man a moral image of Himself. Our fallen condition is a part of the penalty of sin, as the tomb is the companion of it. No complaint could have been made by our race if God had left us thus to perish like brute beasts. But the Bible declares that He is rich in mercy, and unwilling that any should perish, but desirous that all might be recovered to everlasting life. Again, we read that God so loved the world that He gave His Only Begotten Son that whoever believeth on Him might not perish, but, on the contrary, instead of perishing like the brute beast, might attain through Christ to everlasting life—John 3:16. The world has not yet had the promised blessing of God; for the Divine Plan is that Jesus must first select from amongst the world a company of His own disposition of loyalty to the Divine will. Not until those shall be fully selected and glorified will the great Messiah, Head and members, be completed. Then Bridgroom and Bride enthroned in glory, the work of blessing will begin. And that work will be the overthrow of sin, and thus the overthrow of the penalty of sin—death. It will mean the recovery of mankind from bondage to sin and death. It will mean the unplitting of the partially dead mental, moral and physical powers to perfection. More than this, it will mean for those who have died without the knowledge of the Truth an awakening from the tomb, that they also may be brought to this knowledge of God and to a privilege of sharing in the great Redeemer's work and merit. No wonder the angels sang "Glory to God in the highest," at the birth of the Redeemer. No wonder they declared, "We bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be unto all people." God's glory has not yet appeared to man. False doctrines, ignorance, suppertition, still becloud the vision of humanity. St. Paul's words still apply: "The god of this world hath blinded the minds of all them that believe not, lest the glorious light of God's goodness should shine into their hearts."2 Corinthians 4:4. The good tidings of great joy for all people are as much for those who died before Jesus as for those who have lived since. They have gone to the great prison-house of death. Sheol. Hades. the tomb. They are prisoners there. They await the release to be accomplished by the One who redeemed them at Calvary. When released, the Message of the angels will be fulfilled in them. They will hear the good tidings of redemption. Sheol will be destroyed. Victory over Hades, will be complete. No prisoner shall be left therein. All shall be awakened from the sleep of death. The guarantee for this is the Word of the Lord, backed by the great fact that the Redeemer gave Himself "a Ransom for all, to be testified in due time."—1 Timothy 2:4-6. CANCER STUDY AT HARVARDA A Special Investigation of the Effect of Radium to Be Made. Cambridge, Mass. - The effect of radium in the treatment of cancer is to be made the subject of a special investigation under the direction of Dr. William Duane at the Harvard medical school. For the present the experiments will be conducted in the Collins P. Hunting ton building, but as soon as possible a special building is to be constructed adjoining the medical school and devoted entirely to the work of radium investigation. Dr. Dunne has studied in the laboratory of Mme. Curie, the discoverer of radium, and has been in touch also with the work of the Radium institute in London. The investigation is to be made under the supervision of the cancer commission of Harvard. Dr. E. D. Tyzzee, director of the commission says that a group of investigators being assembled to attack the problem of cancer treatment from various polite of view. WILL WED ONLY THE SOUND Montclair Pastor Will Insist on a Certificate of Good Health. Montclair, N. J.-The Rev. Henry E Jackson, pastor of the Christian Union Congregational church here, has announced he will perform no more marriages without a certificate signed by the physician of the bride to be that the intended bridegroom is in perfect health. At the coming annual meeting of Unity church the members will vote on the question as to whether the pastor, Rev. Edgar S. Weirs, shall perform the marriage ceremony without having first obtained from each of the contracting parties a medical certificate that they are physically sound. The eugenics movement in Montclair is attracting considerable attention. Interest in the subject having been aroused by recent addresses of Dr. Henry Smith Williams, Professor H. E Jordan of the University of Virginia Dean Sumner of Chicago and Clifford Roe, also of Chicago. SHE BEAT HER WAY ACROSS CONTINENT To Join Fiance Pretty Flood Survivor "Hoboes" It. Venice, Cal.-Miss Ethel Johnston, a beautiful young woman from Dayton, arrived here in begrimed and torn boy's costume to join her fiance. Miss Johnston and J. L. Perry had been sweethearts in Dayton. The youth moved west a short time ago the better to prepare a home for his sweetheart, and was beginning to see the silver lined cloud when the flood swept down upon Dayton. Miss Johnston was making her home with her aunt in that city and suffered the loss of her only relative as well as her home. She cut her hair short, donned boy's clothing and struck out with but a few dollars for the const. -She traveled all most the entire distance on freight trains, in empty box cars, on flat cars, brake beams and bumpers, only occasionally being able to obtain the comfort of the speedy blind baggage car. Once, when she was discovered riding a brake beam, she was taken into the engine and made to stroke to earn her passage. She reached Venice almost famished but happy.

Labor Unions Asked to Raise Fund For McNamara's Lawyer. Chicago.-Clarence S. Darrow surprised the Chicago Federation of Labor at a meeting here by walking in and taking a seat. He was, given a rousing reception and addressed the federation on the child labor question. Later it developed that Darrow's fortune of $150,000 had been swallowed up in his two trials. A letter was read from President Charles H. Moyer of the Western Federation of Miners calling on all union labor organizations to subscribe to a fund to assist Darrow in his third trial. This move was indorsed by the federation, and collections will be made. The trial is set for June 16. Uses Fire to Stop Dog Flight. Bellefontaine, O.-Fire was used to separate fighting buildings after they had created a panic in the Big Four station and driven people scurrying from the platforms. It appeared impossible to separate the dogs, which seemed to be in a death clutch, until a commercial traveler, using his own cigar and that of another man, pressed the lighted ends against the noses of the two combatants.

SING SING CALLED A TORTURE HOUSE Medieval Barbarities Tame by Comparison. MEN CRIPPLED FOR LIFE. Governor's Investigator Asserts That Cells Drip With Moisture and Are Infested With Vermin—Morals the Worst Feature—Graft and Waste 'Alleged—Colonel Scott Flayed. Albany.—"Stories of torture of prisoners in the middle ages sound like descriptions of luxuries in comparison to the tales that have been told me of the lives that some of the prisoners in Sing Sing live." This indictment of New York state's oldest penal institution is embodied in the report made by George W. Blake of New York, a special commissioner appointed by Governor Sulzer to investigate prison affairs. The worst feature—that dealing with the morals of the convicts—Mr. Blake says cannot be discussed in a public document, but should be called to the immediate attention of those competent to deal with the situation. The investigator describes conditions as "frightful." The prison cells, he says, are dark, small, damp, filthy and infested with vermin. In them men contract rheumatism and go out crippled for life. Into none of the cells on the lower tiers has a ray of sunshine entered for eighty years. The report opens with a bitter attack on Warden Kennedy and on Colonel Joseph F. Scott, who was removed as superintendent of state prisons by Governor Sulzer after he had refused to appoint Charles F. Ratigan warden of PETER M. Auburn prison. Colonel Scott was appointed superintendent of prisons after a successful administration, covering more than ten years, of the affairs of the Elmira reformatory. He was considered one of the foremost penologists in the country. President Taft summoned Colonel Scott to Washington to preside over the international conference on prison reform held there two years ago. Mr. Blake in his report assails Colonel Scott bitterly and says flatly that he has done nothing to earn his reputation. Mr. Blake asserts that because of influence exerted by men well known in various walks of life money has been wrung from persons seeking clemency for prisoners, but in some cases the favors bought were "not delivered." The commissary department of the prison, according to Mr. Blake, "is run along incompetent if not dishonest lines. There is criminal carelessness if not downright grafting. Signs that this is the case stick out as plentifully as quilts on the back of a frightened porcupine." John S. Kennedy, warden of Sling Sing, is charged by Mr. Blake with having violated the law. "He has permitted the creation and continuance of unbusnesslike methods," says the report, "and has caused the state to lose thousands of dollars in a way that points directly to graft. He has made no attempt to protect the inmates from disease and vice nor any effort to produce better conditions in this prison." Mr. Blake says he was told stories, amply corroborated, of such frightful character as to appeal to the most unfeeling person. The cells on the ground floor, he says, drip with moisture, so that the inmates in many cases, have become victims of chronic rheumatism. Many pages of the report are devoted to a criticism of the industrial department of the prison. Mr. Blake says that there has been a constant decrease in the profits, which have dropped from $76,740 in the first six months of 1910 to $20,052 in the first six months of 1912. In the course of his investigation or the commissary department of the prison Mr. Blake says that, according to the records, 460 pounds of beef went to Warden Kennedy's table during the month of March. Commenting generally on the conduct of this department of the prison, Mr. Blake says he found enormous waste, while the prisoners as a rule, were underfed. AGED VETERAN A WOMAN. Soldiers' Home Inmate Posed Fifty Years as a Man. Quincy, Ill.-The sex of Albert D. J. Cashler, civil war veteran and an inmate of the Soldiers and Sailors' home here, has just been revealed by Colonel J. O. Anderson, superintendent of the home, to be feminine. The woman, whose real name will probably never be known, served three years in the Union army during the civil war. She was mustered out of the service in 1865 and a few years later was placed on the government pension roll. She entered the soldiers' home two years ago, and at that time her sex was known only to Colonel Anderson, who promised not to reveal her secret. A short time ago she was adjudged insane, and as a result she was committed to the state hospital. Revelation of her sex was made two years ago in Livingston county, Ill., where she was employed by ex-Senator I, M. Lish as chauffeur. It is said by the ex-senator that one day his machine would not run and the chauffeur crawled under the car. While she was tempering with the mechanism the engine started suddenly, and the wheels of the car passed over her, breaking her right leg. When the chauffeur was taken to a hospital it was discovered that she was a woman. TO TRY FLIGHT TO ENGLAND. Aero Yacht to Start by July 1, Says Boston Official. Savannah, Ga.—A Batson zero yatch will start by July 1 for a flight across the Atlantic ocean, according to the statement made here by a representative of the company. It is the purpose of the Batson interests to fly from Savannah to New York with a letter from Mayor Richard J. Davant to Mayor William J. Gaynor. Then the trip will be extended to Washington, where, with a letter from President Wilson to King George, the start on the transatlantic flight will be attempted. Captain M. A. Batson, U. S. A., retired, is the inventor and designer of the new air craft. His officers express confidence of winning the prize of $50,000 offered by Lord Northcliffe through the London Daily Mall for the first transatlantic flight. SCIENTISTS NEARING LIFE'S BORDERLAND Tests Tend to Show a State This Side of Death. --- Baltimore—Recent investigations in the laboratories of the Johns Hopkins Medical school seem to indicate a state intermediate between life and death, since life in many organisms may be suspended by freezing in liquid air and by other processes and then may be resuscitated. Bacteria, the lowest plant organisms, have enormous powers of resisting death. Bacteria of various diseases are seen in the laboratory frozen in liquid air at a temperature of 360 degrees F. There are instances of the lives of frogs, rats, snails and fish being suspended by this freezing process, yet on being "thawed out" after several weeks they revive. These animals are perfectly normal when placed in a refrigerator jar filled with liquid air at a certain temperature. After a short time the animals appear lifeless. A month later they are removed and on being massaged show signs of life, often reviving completely. Recently successful efforts were made in the medical school to revive the apparently dead heart of an animal. As explained by Dr. Alexis Correl, who recently lectured before the student body here. In about five cases out of ten the heart of a chicken took on renewed energy several hours after death. Immediately after death the heart was frozen and preserved. A few hours later it was resuscitated by massage. TELEPHONE BREEDS INSANITY German Alienist Says "Central" Drives Men to Madness. Berlin.—Remarkable evidence as to the effect of the telephone upon the minds of people using it was given in a trial here. Dr. Strauch, a commissioner in lunacy, said that even phlegmatic men might have their mental balance upset by exasperation at getting no reply from "central." He mentioned the case of one of his own patients, a well known doctor, who became completely insane through telephone exasperation. Dr. Pacechter, another witness, asserted that he could bring evidence to show that government telephone girls had been permitted by the inspectors to utilize one of the big exchanges for the reception of their flances. One amusement of the girls of this exchange was to look up all subscribers having the same name, to connect all of them, ring them all up and laugh loudly at the result. Tacoma Birds Night Singers. Taorma, Wash.-Mrs. Clara Gillespie of 4130 South Yakima avenue reports that Taorma has birds that sing in the night.

Indeed, the South could not wait so long, but began the game on Decoration Day, as usual selecting the most solemn occasion to play the “trump card.” On the 3oth ultimo Representative Heflin, of Alabama, in anticipation of the harvest of Northern gullibles, went into a trance and gushed forth into this rhapsody: “The ‘angels will smile upon that gathering and| “the God of our fathers will bless! and approve it. The South ac-| cepted in good faith the final decree| gf the sword.” Honey and garlic! If this is a prophecy what will be the fulfillment? Verily a most mi- raculous “walking round about the truth!" By what sublety of dialec- tics Southern orators will be able to harmonize, or squirm out of the evident lapsus linguac of sky rock- et Heflin that “the South accepts in good faith the final decree of the sword.” it is difficult to conjecture. Every intelligent and honest persan knows and admits that the “final decree” stands for the supremacy of the Union over the States, and the civil and political equality of American citizens, without regard to race, color or previous condition of servitude; for the triumph of loyalty over treason, of right over wrong. Lest the enemies of thé nation be tempted to misinterpret the “final decree, - the victors amended the Constitution and thus preserved in crystallized, and it was thought, permanent form, their de- cree. Heflin's pronouncement at Gettysburg, if repeated in the South, would more than likely cost that gentleman his seat in Cong- ress, were the South sunfamiliar with the arts of its diplomats. But Hetlin will “come back.” He pro- tests that the South accepts the “de- eree™ and yet at the same time con- sents to encourages and profits by a ross violation of the letter and spirit of the Constitution, which he has sworn to support and which is the highest expression of the decree owhich the. South “has accepted in good faith." But all of this dope about accepting the final decree had a string to it. It was necessary for’ Heflin to face his Southern constituents relative to this matter. His ability to “come back” and thus satisfy his admirers and emphasize his diplomacy, may he scen in the following: “Here, in the red glare of destructive battle-fire, two mightf Jessons were taught; one that the Union should be preserved and the other that the Union should be’ ever mindful and con- Siderate of the rights .of the States.” . See where the stilletto lurks: Heflin and all the world knows there was but one lesson intended to be taught and. at the close of the war, admitted to have been taughi and that is the right and power o! the national government to punist rebellion or secession, and to en force anqualified acknowledgmen of the supremacy of the Nation over the State, But to interpret i la Heflin, the North coerced thi South into the Union; but, all th same, the Union _ must rezogniz “State rights.” Or, to reduce it t _its simplest terms, THE WAI WAS A FAILURE, Shades 0 lincoln, Grant and Sumner!!! CRISIS AT A CRISIS. Anent the entertainment arrang- ‘ed for the henefit of The Crisis in this city, at which “some, clever daricing” and other claimed fetch- ing stunts ‘were advertised, The Ree would like to inquire why this late comer into the journalistic; field should haye public benefits given for if while Negro newspapers which nave been braving the storm A LEADER WANTED. With its rapidly decreasing illiteracy, its marvellous advancement in mental and moral development and scholastic attainment, the perti- nent question now confronts the race, ‘How’ may opportunities be opened for commensurate practical expression of tastes and qualifica- tions already obtained, or in process of acquirement?” ‘In an endeavor to answer this question, there can be no justification for soaring into- the empyrean of speculation. The facts, are all too numerous, too prominent, too stubborn to be trifled or juggled with, but appeal to sound, sober judgment, to our most earnest and advanced thinkers and influential friends, for measurable adjustment. The fact-that the race has demonstrated a wide range of taste and adaptability in every realm of thought is generally admitted and clearly shown by the in- creasing annual output of our professional, scientific, industrial and academic institutions. Yet in spite of this the further fact remains that the field of operation for the practical display of abilities thus acquired is in a most important particular practically closed. To be sure, it may be said, with truth-and!pride, that in so far as the colored people are concerned, there has been among them an increasing patron- age of colored ministers, physicians, lawyers and pedagogues. More- over, colored busiriess enterprises, banks, insurance companies and mercantile ventures are multiplying and thriving under the prevailing impetus of race pride and race unity. But in that wider, if not more important, field of acvitity known as the trades or specialized handicraft in. which thousands of colored youths have become proficient (in so far as industrial and trade schools could make them so), the door of equal opportunity is barely ajar and only so to the extent to which the colored people, encouraged and aided by white friends, have effected it. Why is this? Aside from the preconceived notions of a majority of the whites, to the effect that colored people are either incapable or unambitious to become useful or illustrious in the trades or industrial world there ase two. reat organizations now operating to hamper the industrial progress of ‘the colored race. The first, and by far the most inveterand un unrea- sonable are the Labor Unions, the other is organized capital. The former of these constitute a trust, irresponsible and tyrannical, con- trolled by foreigners and inflated by the’consciousness of success in the excraise of brute force, and inspired by fear of competition, have set np the barrier of Color; and naw, whatever may be the qualifications of the colored artesan, he is ostracised with a vengeance invoking all the consequences of Boycott. Capital, in its’ turn, conservative, wary, unconscionable, heartless, caring nothing for men but only money; nothing for patriotism, but only power: nothing for duty but only dividends, compromises with white labor on terms of “you tickle me and I tickle you.” winks at and tolerates if it does not encourage a pal- ‘pable injustice to a large element of capable artisans under the spell of ‘political expediency. OF course, these orginizations thus truly char- ‘acterized in their general aspect, yet contain a respectable minority who believe in fair dealing—men to whom capacity and ambition appeal and to whom the accumulation of wealth does not constitute the be-all and end-all of human endeavor To this minority the social truism for- miulated by Horace Mann that “Poverty is a public as well as private peril,” coupled with the thought that an inefficient struggle for the means of comfortable existence tends to make men discontented, in- different, indolent and finally, criminal, strongly appeal and suggest an imperative duty on the part of the public as well as the individual, to open up avenues,to merit and industry, without regard to race or color, as a necessary means of public and individual peace, prosperity and protection. To this minority must we*appeal for, opportunities for the risng mtechanic and skilled laborer, for our draughtsmen, our "mechanical and electrical engineers and the increasing host who, are | ansions to become contribiitors to the industrial growth of the Nation. | Some definite, organized movement along this line must be inaugu- rated: for if thé farm, places as “hewers of wood and drawers of water” and the so-called menial vocations, only are to constitute the only field, cutside of the professions for our colored youth, if thé ‘inventive genius and mechanical skill which even now form so promi- nent a feature in our development are to he ignored, the case of the , colored people will be truly deplorable. The colored man, or set of men, who shall succeed to any extent, in arousing the popular heart and conscience on this vital matter will indeed deserve and receive the plaudits and benedictions of the present generation and thousands yet unborn. is ¥ NEGRO K. P'S DUTY. Late last Monday night S. W. Green, Supreme Grand, Chancellor raf the Colored Knights of Pythias for the United States, was taken ‘from a Pullman car on which he was riding through Florida, by a mob bent on lynching him for persisting in exercising his rights under the Haw. And"but for the effective interference of the-sheriff be would have heen lynched. As.it was he was lodged in jail over night, for “Safe keeping,” and the next morning heavily finec for “violation” of the odious, unjust jim-crow law. Supreme Grand Chancellor Green ‘was heavily fined, but the white law violators who forcibly took him ‘from the Pullman, and who would have lynched him, went free. In Florida Justice is dead. '_ .As unjust as the jini-crow car laws are in the Southern States they ‘provide for “equal” accommodations for the Negro passenger. In ab- sence of a separate Pullman to accommodate Negro passengers any fair man or court would interpret the Taw to give them the right to occupy the Pullman attached-to the train, especially as inter-state pas- ssenger, which Mr. Green no-doubt was, The law providing for “equal” accommodations is mandatory on the statute books, but it ‘scems it is optional with the Negro-hating administers of the law. The colored Knights of Pythias is ‘an organization with secret sigus and pass word, and it is an organization with nearly three hundred thousand members, and with a plethoric purse. If this great organi- zation does not exhatist every resource to have punishment inflicted upon the members of the mob which so rotighly and unjustly treated their Supreme Grand Chancellor then that organization ought to abandon its secret signs, grip and pass word : cortsign its, ritual to the flames, and content itself with being a benevolent organization pure ‘and simple, and not pretend to be a “secret” fraternity. When Negroes of the standing of Mr. Green cannot travel unmoles- ted by a mob, and are fined because ay having been molested almost to the point of being lynched by that mbb, if the officers of the law will not pursue and prosecute the member9 of the mob, then it is high time for a Negro secret organization, work in secret, to act as the pravity ofthe offense suggests. And if this be treason, then make the most ‘of it. and fighting the race’s battles for years are forgot by philanthropic entertainment promoters. What is there about the selfish, self-opinion- ated DyBois—the just arrived edi- tor who has not a dollar of his own money invested, to. invite homage while the sturdy editors who have heen issuing their publications (es- tablished with their own money), every week for a quarter of a éen- tury or mbre are ignored by the ‘Dulfois hero-worshipers and seek- ers after eclat?

If so, why over- look Monroe Trotter's Guardian, which is rabidly antagonistic to Tooker T. fifty-two weeks in every year. Then there is The Richmond Planet, which has never been charged with holding a brief for the builder of Tuskegee—it has heen thriving while constantly fighting for the race for more than a quarter of a’century without hav- ing public benefits given for it. And there are more than a hundred jother Negro newspapers, including ‘The Bee, with thirty-three years of well doing, issued weekly, valiantly, couragously, — uncompromisingly fighting the race's battles. The) have asked for no public benefits as much as they deserve them Now why should The Crisis. 2 vionthly “magazine filled, for the most part, with matter previously appearing in the Negro weeklies be singled out to have kenefit: given to support it. Is The Crisis more deserving or more poten! than an hundred. long establishec ‘Negro newspapers we could name? Is there something about the intol- lerable conceited egotist to attract hysterical old maids, fidgety suffra- getts, irresponsible misses and a few imbecile high-brows who pass for men? These public benefits being arranged for The Crisis may suggest to the experienced that The Crisis has about reached its crisis. THIRTY-FOURTH YEAR. With this issue of The Washing- ton Bee it passes out of its 33d year and enters upon its 34th year of its existence. To its friends and well wishers it extends its gratitude and thanks. Its enemies it has de- feated and subdued, and today it is the second oldest publication in the city of Washington, regardless o! nationality. Only one more journal surpasses it in age and that is its able contemporary and friend, th Evening Star, of which the late Crosby S. Noyes was editor. The Bee has endeavored to do it: duty regardless of ‘circumstances 01 conditions; regardless of men 01 women. Its enemies have inyadec hits sanctum sanctorium, but the) have come out with bruises anc scars, and today The Bee is th master of the situation.

Whatever! may have been the motive which actuated President Wilson, as to.the disposition of his time on Decoration Day, it is cer- tainly unfortunate that he did not find some’ grave, Confederate, Union or friend, on which to drop a sprig or flower. When the Presi- dent begin$ a co-called “two-days test” on the day consecrated by Congress to the niemory of those noble heroes who gave up_ their lives in defense of fredom and the perpetuation of the Union, it af- fords a plea of justification to those whose inclinations are un-Ameri- can and unpatriotic. Moreover the act will be justly or unjustly con- strued into sympathy with Confed- erate rather than Union sentiments, A. “ride among Virginia hills" might very wisely have been post: poned. COL.

His fight for vin- dication of his good name was all he asked. Many others would have adopted the methods of Shylock, but Col.

This was manly, and his reward will come later. ¥ The Ree congratulates the Col- onel. ar “DR. CORROTHERS. The attempt to remove Dr. S. L.

I was sitting at a table with 2 teacher last Wednesday over at Scott's place at Seventh and T, and let me say to you he sure did work his knife to a frazzle. Just shoved the victuals on to his knife with the fork, and then lifted his knife to his mouth, rammed it into his mouth, us- ing his fork as a sort of a side board arrangement to keep the victuals from falling off the knife.

After the brethren had gotten fabri started well pleased with their experiences. Joseph, however, desired to test their sympathy for their father and their loving interest in Benjamin. Therefore he caused his silver cup to be placed in Benjamin's sack of wheat. After the brethren had gotten fairly started homeward, Joseph sent servants to demand his cup. "The cup was found in Benjamin's sack." The brethren protested their innocence, and declared that if the cup were found in their possession, they would willingly become slaves. The search was made, and the cup found. In great distress the company wended its way back to the palace. Again Joseph was austere and reproved them, that they might have opportunity to abandon Benjamin. Protesting innocence, they declared their willingness to become Joseph's slaves. But he answered that only the gulity one—Benjamin—should become his slave, and that the rest should return home, and continue to enjoy the favors of Egypt. This proposition he knew would test them. Had they the same heartlessness that they had exhibited when they sold him into slavery? Then Judah, who had pledged him self that Benjamin should return in safety, made an eloquent appeal, and entreated that he be accepted as a slave in Benjamin's stead. He ended with the question, "How shall I go up to my father, and the lad be not with me? lest I see the evil that shall be fall my father." The evidence of a change of heart was satisfactory to Joseph, and is to us all. Those who love righteousness rejoice in righteousness, as those who love sin rejoice in it. When we perceive so marked a change in those men, we rejoice, not only for their sakes, but also at the general lesson furnished. The conviction is borne in upon us that much of the sin, the meanness, the cruelty of today may be attributed to inherited weaknesses and immature experience. We say, "How great a change would probably be effected by a broader, deeper knowledge of ourselves and others!" And do not life's daily experiences tend to give us the broadening of sympathies, and thus character-development? Doubtless there are exceptions to every rule, but it is our conviction that a sufficiency of the likeness of God remains in every member of our race to permit him at times to appreciate the good, the noble, the pure. It is because he is surrounded by sin and selfishness that these godlike sentiments are so rarely brought into exercise. When Will Men Profit? Some will say. "Admitting that life's trials teach men the sinfulness of sin and the wisdom of righteousness, where would be the profit of such instruction if only the salently, who walk in Jesus' footsteps under a covenant of self-sacrifice, are to share in the Kingdom? How will the remalder of the race profit by their experiences, if death ends all hope?" The answer is that we have made a mistake respecting the teachings of the Bible. The Scriptures nowhere say that all hope of salvation ends when we fall asleep in death. So far as the Church is concerned, it is true that death ends their probation. But this is not true concerning the world. The Church alone is now on trial. The world's trial time will be in the next Age. Christ's Reign will, be the great thousand-year Day, in which will be determined the worthiness or unworthiness of everlasting life of all humanity. Those found worthy will eventually be perfected, and granted the Divine blessing of everlasting life. All then found unworthy will be condemned as unfit for life, sentenced to the Second Death. A The experiences of the present life. good or bad, will have their bearing upon the future trial, but will not How shall I go to my father without upon the future trial, but will not decide the case for any one. Because of misuse of present opportunities and knowledge, some will enter upon the future life disadvantaged proportionately. These disadvantages will be their stripes, their chastisement, for present failures. Others, rightly exercised by the trials and difficulties of life, will be made more just, more loving, as were Joseph's brethren. Thus they will be the better prepared for a good entrance into the Messianic Kingdom, now, we believe, near at hand.

Galveston, Tex. — Major General Leonard Wood, chief of staff, has declared that the second division of the United States army will remain mobilized at Galveston and Texas City "until the causes of the mobilization are removed." "I do not know just how long the division will remain mobilized," he said, "nor does any other man know. I am sure the stay will be a long one, six months or more." General Wood, who was on a tour of inspection of border camps, visited Fort Crockett here and expressed satisfaction with regard to conditions. Training of the men in maneuvers and mobilization would be valuable to the army, he declared, and he directed that the greatest attention be given to the solution of the transportation problem. He insisted that the evolving of a new plan for the distribution of supplies for an army in the field was all important. MAILED A GREEN COCOANUT. Case Where Postoffice Carried Package Containing Liquid. Indianapolis, Ind. "Guess you'd better handle this carefully. Sounds like it might break," said a postman as he gingerly handed a big brown package over the desk of a hotel here. The clerk looked first at the package, then at the postman, with a puzzled expression on his countenance. He picked up the package and shook it. There was a sound of dashing water, then he saw the label, "Palm Beach cocoanut," and he laughed. It was not a patent bottle or an ostrich egg. It was just a cocoanut, but different in appearance from the kind offered in the local market. The smooth outer shell had not been removed, and the label and postage were pasted right on the nut. The cocoanut welghed three pounds, and it cost 24 cents to send it by parcel post from Palm Beach, Fla. The nut was sent to Homer I. Cutsinger. SECOND TRIAL SOON FOR SZABO MURDER Burton W. Gibson to Be Tried In Newburg This Time. Newburg, N. Y.-Burton W. Gibson will shortly be placed on trial for the second time charged with murder in having strangled Rosa Menschik Szabo in a rowboat at Greenwood lake, July 16 last. The previous trial of the lawyer took place last November at Goshen, Orange county, before Judge Arthur S. Tompkins and a jury of farmers. There seemed to be every indication of conviction, but the jury disagreed. It was later learned that jurymen were affronted by the fact that the prosecution was conducted by Assistant District Attorney Isidor Wasservogel of New York county. "Orange county has as able lawyers as New York county," said one. "At the next trial there will be an Orange county jury, an Orange county judge and an Orange county prosecutor." District Attorney John Wilson will conduct the case in person. It is said new witnesses have been discovered and the testimony of some who appeared for Gibson may be impeached. The fact that Gibson will be tried again, in spite of the expense, indicates that the prosecutor believes he has a very strong case. Gibson will be arraigned before Judge Tompkins in Newburg instead of Goshen. CATCHES PUMA WITH ROPE. Mountain Lion Measures Nine Feet From Nose to Tip of Tall. Montrose, Colo.—A mountain lion, the largest ever captured in this part of the country, was caught by Url Hotchkiss, hunter and trapper of Colona, six miles east of here. The lion stands three feet high, is nine feet from tip of nose to end of tall and weighs 146 pounds. Hotchkiss heard of the lion and, in company with his son George and Roy Humphrey, started out with a pack of dogs. The dogs treed the lion. Hotchkiss climbed the tree armed only with a rope. The lion chased him down several times, but finally he threw the rope around the beast's peck. The other men hauled the animal down, secured him with ropes, and the party took the lion to Colona. TO MAKE SPARROWS DRUNK. When Intoxicated They Will Be Killed Humanely. Greeley, Colo.—This town, founded by Horace Greeley for the promulgation of temperance principles and which never has had a saloon, is soon to see drunks in large numbers if the plans of ten women are carried out. They plan to get intoxicated English sparrows and finches, especially the females, in order that the two may be separated and the sparrows put peacefully to death. The idea is to put out pans of seed soaked in alcohol. The birds flock to the pans, eat and soon are drunk. The English sparrows, which kill off the finches, will be killed, and the finches, which destroy harmful insects, will be allowed to get sober and fly away.

Nothing is easier than to fall into conventionalities of speech, and nothing so impoverishes conversation. A generation ago it was customary to thank a person for a service rendered. Now we thank him "very much," although the service be no more than picking up a pencil. Also it is "awfully good" of him to hold the door open for us or to give up his seat in a car.

Xerxes Mado Mount Athos an island. Mount Athos is unlikely ever to be turned into an island again, as it was by Kerves. The canal which he cut through the isthmus was regarded as a myth even in the time of Juvenal, but traces of it are still in existence. One circumstance of its construction, recorded by Herodotus, may help to explain why it was a three years' business to cut this canal of less than twelve furlongs. Nearly all the peoples employed by Xerxes dug straight down, with the result that the sides continually fell in, thus doubling their work. The Phoenicians, with their superior intelligence, began excavating at a breadth much greater than the canal itself was to occupy, so as gradually to narrow with a convenient slope as they dug down. London's Street Traffic It was not until about thirty years ago that London's existing system of regulating traffic at street corners was instituted.

To the figure and graces of the horse it adds the elegance of the stag, and the black and white bands with which its body is ornamented are arranged with such wonderful symmetry that we might almost be disposed to imagine that rule and compass had been employed in their formation. These alternate bands are narrow, parallel and exactly separated. They extend not only over the body, but the head, thigh and legs and even over the ears and tail. They follow so exactly the contour of the different forms that they exhibit the entire figure in the most advantageous point of view. In the female these bands are alternately black and white. In the male they are black and yellow, but always of a lively and brilliant tint. They also rest upon a ground of short, fine and copious hairs, whose lusser considerably augments the general beauty of the colora—Exchange. Our Wonderful Eyes Is there anything so wonderful as the eye? No matter how cold the weather may be, the eye never fails. In the wildest of blizzards, when the thermometer registers many degrees below zero, when the feet and fingers freeze, when the throat freezes, when even the torso, swathed in sweaters and chamois skin vestings, freezes; when the nose and ears are frost bitten, when the hair even crackles in the blast—when all is lost apparently, the eyes suffer no pain, but continue to perform their normal functions. The people of the most inclement, most frigid regions of the extreme north bundle up everything but their eyes. The eyes are never frostbitten. They seem to suffer only in a strong wind which carries in its current some irritating substance. And yet, notwithstanding this, the eyes are the most sensitive of our several organs. Banking the fire is a very simple process. It is easier to bank a fire than to bank anything else we know of. We have not been able to bank anything excepting a fire for several years. Place the ashes in the flour sifter and thus sprinkle them carefully over the coals—three teacupfuls for a small furnace, the kind that goes out every five minutes, and five teacupfuls for one of the battleship variety. Close all of the drafts or leave all of them open, as you choose, turn out the gas in the basement, lock the kitchen door, take your dose of family, ten, wind the clock, put out the cat and go to bed. If these directions are followed faithfully you will in the morning find one of two conditions—the fire will be going or it will be out—Boston Globe. Beauty Never Dies Nothing of beauty dies without having purified something, nor can aught of beauty be lost. Let us not be afraid of sowing it along the road. It may remain there for weeks or years, but like the diamond it cannot dissolve, and finally there will pass some one whom its glitter will attract. He will pick it up and go his way rejoicing. Then why keep back a lofty, beautiful word, for that you doubt others will understand? An instant of higher goodness was impinging over you. Why hinder its coming even though you believe not that those about you will profit thereby? What if you are among the men of the valley, is that sufficient reason for checking the instinctive movement of your soul toward the mountain peaks?—Maurice Maeterlinck Banking the Fire. McReynolds Takes Steps to Renew Fight. MAY REOPEN OLD CASES. Oil, Tobacco and Anthracite Combines. Patten Corner In Cotton, New Haven Railroad, Telephone and Smelter Monopolies.

The attorney general has begun an is directing several important investigations which may lead to new or renewed prosecution of those who.

He wishes to test the law again to learn if the order for the company's dissolution cannot be made more effe- tive. The company's retail cigar stores are maintained under the first decision Sixth.--The Standard Oil company The renewed action contemplated against this company would be based on the charge that it has not complied with the United States supreme court's order directing it to dissolve into its constituent companies. The decrees in this case have all been handed down and the lower federal court has ap proved the dissolution plan presented by the company. The contempt, which may be charged, would lie in the alleged failure by the company officers to obey strictly the dissolution plan agreed on. Seventh. - The anthracite carrying railroads and their allied coal mining companies for their 65 per cent carrier contracts with the independent mining companies. These contracts were held to have been in violation of law, but the decision was modified later by the supreme court so as to exclude a number of the contracts. Mr. McReynolds is moving to enforce the anti-trust laws on the assumption that congress will give him all the money necessary for the work. Officials of the Taft administration contended that they were embarrassed by the failure of congress to appropriate $60,000 to enable them to conclude pending investigations. Mr. McReynolds is working now under the appropriation then allowed to Attorney General Wickersham. Before its adjournment congress could make a deficiency appropriation for the department of justice should it become necessary The department has not asked for more money yet Eugenica Conference In Orange Eugenia Conference in Orange. Orange, N J -The ministers of the Oranges have asked the physician there to take part in a conference which is to be held on June 16 in the parish house of Grace Episcopal church here, on the advnability of urging regulations requiring health certificate from those about to be married. The Invitation was received by the Orange Medical society in a letter from the Ministerial association of the Oranges, which asked the medical men to send reports to the conference. Destined For Flames, Wind Claims Remains of Joaquín Miller. Oakland, Cal.-The ashes of Joaquin Miller, "the poet of the Sierras," were scattered among the games of a funeral pyre built by the poet's own hands. The ceremony was held at the Miller home, the Helights, in the picturesque hills near Oakland. The Bohemian club of San Francisco had charge of the rites, which were witnessed by more than 500 persons, including the poet's widow and daughter, Juanita, and many old time friends. The services, short and impressive, were in accordance with Miller's dying wishes. At their conclusion Colonel John P. Irish of Oakland mounted the steps of the pyre. "This," said Colonel Irish, "is not an occasion for mourning, but for rejoicing. We are here not to mourn the death of Joaquín Miller, but to rejoice that through his genius he still lives." Colonel Irish then applied a torch to the oil soaked fagots on the pyre. As the flames shot up he took the copper urn containing the poet's ashes and gave them to the fire. Instantly a jealous wind whipped the ashes from the flames and bore them away. SPOOK PROPHECY FAILS. Millionaire Dies Fourteen Years Before "Ghost Advice" Date. Denver.—Alonzo Thompson, eighty one years old, millionaire, spiritualist and war time auditor of Missouri, who believed ghostly advices that he could not die before he was ninety-five years old, is dead. For six weeks Mr. Thompson's belief in his imagined span of life supported him in resisting penguin monia and an incidental operation for removal of a rib. A year ago his declaration that his "guldes" told him his wife and son were conspiring to get his fortune led to Mrs. Thompson's divorce decree. The millionaire, although three times married, was planning to follow his "guldes" into a fourth matrimonial venture. CHILD'S NEW MOUTH SURGICAL TRIUMPH Baltimore. — After many weeks of treatment the rebuilding of a little girl's chin and the restoration of her mouth to normal proportions after the bad been terribly distorted by burn have been completed at the Johns Hopkins hospital here. The child's clothing had taken him while she was playing about a gat stove, and the flesh on her face was seared to such an extent that when the wound healed only a small hole was left where the mouth had been. No small was the opening that the little finger could be inserted with difficulty. Nothing was left of the chin but the bone and a covering of scarred flesh. The child's mother offered all the skin necessary for grafting, but the surgeon decided on another plan. A large flap of flesh was cut from the child's abdomen, one side being left attached to the body. Then a silt was made in the arm of the patient silently large to allow the insertion of the raised end of the flesh of the abdomen. This was done to establish circulation in the abdominal flesh. After weeks that part of the flesh attached to the abdomen was cut out the child's arm with the flap of the growing to it was raised and the pat that formerly had been joined to the abdomen was joined to the lips an chin from which the seared flesh has been cut. For weeks blood flows from the child's arm into the bridge of flesh from the abdomen and then into the chin and lips. When circulation had been established the child's arm was cut from the chin and allowed to return to its normal place. The new flesh was then attached to the chin. A small hole had been cut it to allow the child to be fed. Later a mouth was cut in the mass of flesh and then the chin was rounded out. When the child was discharged from the hospital she could eat, talk and move her jaws as well as any of her companions. It is only upon close examination that the new chin can be discovered.

Buenos Aires.-The council of ministers has decided to submit to the national congress a proposal to apply a tax on the exportation of beef in excess of a maximum fixed by the government.

The Two "Dark Days" There are two "dark days" mentioned in the annals of New England. The first occurred on Oct. 21, 1716, when it suddenly became so dark soon after noon that the people were forced to use artificial lights to do their ordinary work. This strange condition of the atmosphere lasted about three and a half hours. Again, on May 19, 1780, there was a remarkable darkening of the atmosphere, but the phenomenon did not come on so suddenly as that upon the earlier date. The darkness in this latter instance began between 10 and 11 o'clock on the morning of the day named and lasted throughout the day. The darkness extended from the northeastern part of New England westward as far as Albany and southward to Pennsylvania. The most intense and prolonged darkness, however, was confined to Massachusetts, more especially to the seaboard. It is said to have come from the southwest, but there is no mention of it made in the history of Ohio or the Virginias. The exact cause still remains one of the unexplained mysteries. "Warned Off" the Turf. To be "warned off" is the most severe sentence that can be imposed on any one in England connected with the turf. Not only does it debar a man from owning, training or riding horses, but until the committee decides to revoke the punishment prevents him even from showing himself on any race course. This is so owing to the fact that the decision of the national hunt committee is registered automatically by the racing authorities in France and Ireland and of course by the Jockey club. Like the national hunt committee, the stewards of the Jockey club also reserve to themselves the right of summoning any rider whom they suspect of sharp practices or even carelessness to appear before them and, unless the explanation given proved satisfactory, to "suspend" Rivalry In Prayer. Turkish dignitaries comport themselves toward European representatives how otherwise than some of them formerly did. Sir Henry Layard tells an amusing encounter between Charles Allison, then chief interpreter at the British embassy, and the grand vizier, to whom Sir Stratford Canning had sent him on important business. In the middle of a discussion the Turk rose from his seat and said his prayers on a carpet spread by an attendant, concluding with the curse on all Christians very emphatically uttered, and going through the motion of spitting over his right and left shoulders in abhorrence. Allison was equal to the occasion. Presently he, too, left off business to pray in a corner, doing it in Turkish and invoking curses on all followers of Islam. To the scandalized Pasha he explained that Christians also had their religious duties, and he had no doubt the formal curses of their prayers meant as little as the Mohammed's.

"When I was a growing kid, and came upon many words in my reading that I did not understand, my mother, instead of giving me the definition when 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. Afterwards, when I went to the village school, my chief diversion, after lessons were learned and before they were recited, was in turning over the pages of the "Unabridged" of these days. Now the most modern Unabridged—the NEW INTERNATIONAL—gives me a pleasure of the same sort. So far as my knowledge extends, it is at present the best of the one-volume dictionaries, and quite sufficient for all ordinary uses. Even those who possess the splendid dictionaries in several volumes will yet find it a great convenience to have this, is no compact, so full, and so trustworthy as to leave, in most cases, little to be desired."—Albert S.

Building, | - 12th and Tea Sts., Northwest | You are requested to attend the very important meeting Monday evening June gth, at 8 o'clock, This meeting is especially called for the purpose of planning and shaping the much-needed activity of. the| commercial und business side of our péople. The same as you well know we have paid but very little attention, the time is now ripe for some encouraging action on your part, in help- ing to bring about co-operated sentiment. So we will.ask that you try and make it possible to be present and bring along some material and wholesome thought, and frankly tell the struggling people just what they ought to do to succeed. The professional, commercial and business man needs your help. ‘The industrial mothers and fathers, also school children, need your help. * The future is in our children and to expect any tangible and mate- rial good, we should plan some way now to strengthen our foundation, aim to raise the business and commercial side of our race high enough to attract the hundreds of young women and men who come out of the schools each year; also, the many floating idlers who could be taught 10 respect their people. The condition is the thing which we have to deal, as we are of today, and our acts will reflect in the future. Drop the hatchet and encourage an active business and commercial sentiment among our people. The Business League aims to induce persons to go into business, encourage those who are in business, and to raise a material and whole- some standard for the race in general. . The League has done much good work, as the many new business features; such as stores, banks, building and loans etc., forms a part of the, membership of the Business League. We have organized two or three new auxiliary branches in different sections of the city, and are requesting each fraternal and citizens’ association; also church clubs will be organized into a branch League, not for any personal gain to the central body, but for the co-operative, movement, to bring about the high standing along material, business sentiment. These branches can be organized for the help of the church or organization; if so desired can connect themselves by sending two or three delegates to the meeting of the central body. You will have to teach the people these things and the power of which they exert to accomplish frivolous things would be divided to . some wholesome godd. Did you ever stop to think of the time, en- ergy and money spent, and then look back to see how much is gained? ‘We hold that there are plenty of people and endugh money, all of what is wanted is that enough of us will stop and put our foot down on a firm place and say let’s go the other way for awhile. I think you would see a very marked change in 365 days in’the condition and also in the people. . \ We will also elect at this meeting a delegate at large, also an ad- visory board, etc. Come out and help us.
