THE PRINCIPAL Of Washington Normal School Writes to President Wilson on the Question of Segregation. The following correspondence explains itself: "Washington Normal School No. 2 "Summer School Building, "Sumner School Building, "Washington, D. C., Oct. 7, 1913. "To His Excellency, "Mrs. Liechowy, "President Woodrow Wilson, "The White House, "Washington, D. C. "Sir: When the good sense of the American people raised your Excellency to the high office of Chief Executive of the nation, the country looked hopefully for a sane interpretation of the spirit and letter of our Constitution. Nor was this hope extravagant, for few knew the Constitution better than the scholar who had given years to the study of American government—a mastery concretely proven by the expedition of modern America in "The New Freedom." Subsequently, in the sound wisdom, the well-poised firmness and justice of your course, Your Excellency has not disappointed the expectations that accompanied your inauguration. "For the larger portion of the citizens of our country, political and social adjustments are fairly settled. Economic adjustment in accord with a newer and larger industrialism especially challenges the lawmaker and the executive. But your administration also concerns a peculiar group of Americans who are adjusted neither politically nor economically, a group in whose disfavor the Constitution is too frequently subjected to loose and prejudicial interpretation. We would ask of your Excellency, therefore, the most scrupulous regard in interpreting for the American colored man both the spirit and the letter of this document sacred to manhood rights. "Under our theory of government, and under the Constitution, all citizens are supposed to enjoy life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. For such achievement, on the part or other Americans, our government, as well as our social institutions, offer in a practical way an inspiration, protection and an equitable reward. It inspires in the American white man an evolution toward higher ideals and higher standards of living, and this highly evolved citizenship means for him greater national strength. "But, Mr. President, so far as all of this concerns the American colored man—in the light of segregation and disfranchisement—both the let- GENTLEMEN, MANY OF YOUR LEADERS FAVOR SEGREGATION. AND AS FOR OFFICES, I HAVE NONE TO GIVE YOU. AND THEY SEGURED 2/3 OF THE GOLORED VOTES? ter and the spirit of the Constitution are now dead and inoperative. The spirit is dead. The letter is dead. As a result our State institutions and our social institutions offer no inspiration to the colored American, and little or no hope of, reward for efficiency and self-government. Even the bare suggestion of the highest citizenship for the American man of color—fifty years after the destruction of American slavery—is regarded with a disgust in many quarters, and with a degrading influence, benumbing in its effect in the struggle for higher achievements in the matter of American citizenship. "The country, indeed, needs the greatest efficiency in all classes of its citizens, and any contentment with a low scale of living, or lack of initiative, whether arising from an insurmountable hopelessness or from any other obstacle of progress, will prove fatal to the strength and perpetuity of our common country. You have well spoken, Mr. President, in your in your declaration entitled "The New Freedom," an extract from which I here quote, as published in the World's Work of February, 1913, as follows: "But the beauty of democracy is that when you are reckless you destroy your own established condition of life; when you are vindictive, you wreak vengeance upon yourself; the whole stability of democratic polity rests upon the fact that every interest is every man's interest." "We would, therefore, Mr. President, in view of the fact that you are an exponent of the modernized democracy of the great Thomas Jefferson, a statesman who loved his country, its institutions, its people and their rights, we would have you, as President of these United States and as President of all the people of our common country, to encourage the extension of sympathy and justice to the American colored man—regarding him solely in the light of an American citizen and not as a peculiar racial entity. We ask you in every way possible, and from now on, to discourage this wanton and insulting propaganda which aims to treat American colored citizens as though they should be specially discriminated against on account of their race, color, and former condition. Let me refer in passing to such rank discrimination as that now being attempted to segregate the colored American employees in the several Executive Departments, under your administration, and for the first time in the history of the American Government. "In short, Mr. President, we ask you to hurl your great power and influence against this new form of caste prejudice, and to follow in some degree the policy of the great Lincoln—now so often misquoted by present-day statesman—whose policy was to give to every American citizen, irrespective of race, equal justice before the law and a free man's chance. Once again, and in this connection, I have the honor to quote from your recent work, "The New Freedom," in which you declare that this country should be a land lifting 'to the admiration of the world its ideals of absolute free opportunity, where no man is supposed to be under any limitation except the limitations of his character and of his mind; where there is supposed to be no distinction of class, no distinction of blood, no distinction of social tatus, but where men win or lose on heir merits." WASHINGTON, D.C., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1913 "Yet, to the discouragement of the American colored man, blood distinction counts, and to such a degree, in some sections of our common country, that his very life is endangered in the exercise of his prerogatives as a citizen, in looking to the betterment of his social and political condition. The laws, indeed, should protect him in his thrift and in his freedom, and they should not be construed so as to restrict his uplift, as they are made to do in such segregation or sanctions as recently enacted in the city of Baltimore, Md. "And it should cause little or no wonder, then, if some of the simple souls among our colored citizens are at times in painful 'quandary' as to whether or not it would be wiser to violently resent' the open insults which the enforcement of some of these discriminatory statutes inspire, or to silently suffer and trust to the proverbial generosity and sense of fair play of the better part of their white fellow citizens, many of whom are none the less responsible for the enactment of such laws and for their enforcement. "Many of the leaders among the American colored people are at all times anxious to allay any violent reentment, and continually plead that this ill-advised and un-American legislation should no longer find a place in the statutes of the country. If, Mr. President, you could, as the Chief Executive, obtain a clearer conception of our status, and 'from the colored man' viewpoint frankly stated, we know that your scholarly judgment and love of Christian justice would be potent in gaining for the colored American a full man's chance, thus enabling him to work out his destiny as an American citizen. "The colored man of the United States of America is neither an alien nor an immigrant; but he is a native, allied by blood, habits and customs to all the other natives of this country—regardless of color or condition—and as such he asks no special favor, but demands the rights and privileges accorded to every other class of American citizens, native or naturalized. "It is given to the colored educator and teacher, Mr. President, to know more intimately the weaknesses as well as the strength and needs of the American colored people, and if a committee of educators could have a frank conference with you upon the many matters affecting our welfare, we know that much good would result to the country. The politicians and the theologians have all had their full opportunity to suggest ways and means to solve this much vexed American problem, but up to the present time they have all signally failed. "We therefore ask, Mr. President, that a group of educators be given an opportunity to call upon you for the purposes set forth above—looking to a mutual and better understanding, and the relief of, the racial tension now existing in the land, whose common welfare is the general concern of all true American citizens. "Very respectfully. (Signed) "L. E. MOTEN, "Principal." The President's Secretary replied to Dr. Moten's communication as follows: "The White House. "Washington, Oct. 7, 1913. "My Dear Madam: Permit me to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of October 7, and to say that I shall bring it to the attention of the Presi- dent at the first opportunity.

PRESIDENT WILSON. Negro Segregation, Discrimination and Unfair Treatment—Dr. Sinclair Speaks Out. Honorable Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States, Washington, D.C. Honored Sir: In the name of the Constitution League of the United States (incorporated), composed of citizens without regard to race, sex, treed or party, I beg respectfully to make representations to you in regard to the unfair, humiliating, degrading, and, I think, unlawful treatment which your colored fellow citizens are receiving under your administration. Colored men were members of the convention which nominated you. Colored citizens were generously admitted to the convention hall and some sat on the platform. You were elected to your high office through the united efforts and votes of both your white and colored fellow citizens. The distinguished gentlemen having charge of your campaign made special appeals to colored voters, and in order to accomplish results, they established special headquarters in Boston, New York, Washington, Chicago and Denver. Every assurance was given of fair, just, and equal consideration for colored citizens in the event of your election. The conduct of your campaign was void of every sign or token of discrimination on the ground of race or color. There was the heartiest, most friendly co-operation between the white and colored men who championed your cause before the American people. In your letter to the Rt. Rev. Bishop Alexander Walters, president of the National Colored Democratic League, you yourself, specifically pledged "just," "fair," and "equal" treatment to your "colored fellow citizens." During the progress of the campaign you gave similar assurances to other colored men. It seems conclusive that the elimination of the race issue achieved your election. I beg respectfully to say that many white and colored citizens believed that as you were a man of Southern birth and Northern opportunities, possessing the broadest scholarship and culture, with the gift of statesmanship, that you would bring to bear on the race question the best and most patriotic thoughts of both Southern and Northern life. And also, that you were ideally circumstanced to wipe out the Negro question as a factor in American politics by the faithful recognition of the mandates of the Constitution of the United States, and by their fearless and impartial execution and enforcement. At the moment when all should be "quiet on the Potomac," I do not think it will be altogether a surprise to you for me to say that the colored people of the United States are more wrought up and alarmed, at this time, over their rights and liberties than at any period since their Emancipation. This is due: 1. To the removal of competent colored men from offices, in several of the States, which they had filled by national appointment for years. 2. The removal of competent colored men from office, held, under national appointment, in Washington. 3. The refusal to appoint colored men to diplomatic posts, which had for more than a generation been held by members of the race. 4. The degradation imposed on colored men and women in several of the departments of government, through the practices of segregation and "Jim Crowism." Colored clerks being taken from desks and from rooms and segregated. Colored clerks being denied equal use of the lunch counters, the lockers, toilets, etc. Such discriminations against equal citizens are extremely humiliating and degrading and destructive to the fundamental law. The letter and spirit of the Constitution of the United States prohibit discrimination on account of race and color. Discrimination, then, whether against white or colored, is unlawful. These discriminations and degradations, so flagrantly imposed on the Negro people, have brought the race issue again before the country in its most acute form. The great body of the people of the nation will not stand for such gross injustice and oppression. If continued, the race question will again become paramount in national politics and revive the bitterness of sectionalism. I respectfully submit that this question can never be settled until it is settled right. In the name, then, of the Constitution League of the United States, and I may venture to say, in the name of the Liberty-loving, Christian and patriotic people of the Republic, I would most respectfully appeal to you, as the President of the whole people, to take such steps as in your good judgment would remedy these terrible wrongs against the Negro people. A people whose loyalty, faithfulness and service to their country in peace and in the stress of war have never been questioned. A people whose life is always on the altar of their country. With assurance of our most high regard, I beg to subscribe, yours most obediently, WM. A. SINCLAIR National Field Secretary. The Enemy Defeated.

FRANCESS.CARMODY He Will Be Elected the State Senate by a Large Majority—Every Colored Man Will Vote for Him and Hundreds of White Democrats Will Do Likewise—Popular Among All Classes. Croom, Md., Oct. 23. It is the consensus of opinion among the voters in this county that Mr. Francis S. Carmody, candidate for the State Senate, will be elected by a large majority. There is not a more popular man in Prince George's County than Mr. Carmody. Your correspondent has made a careful canvass of this district and from what he has learned Mr. Carmody will not only be elected, but he will carry one of the largest Democratic counties in Prince George's County. The colored vote is a unit for his election. The experience that the colored voter has had convinced him that the Republican party is good enough for him. Not only is the colored voter anxious for a change, but hundreds of white Democrats will welcome a change also. The platform of the Republican party of the State of Maryland has offered equal school facilities which the colored people are craving. They are thirsty for an education and are strongly interested in the welfare of their children. The schools are closed long before the white schools, thus depriving colored children of at least two or three months' schooling. It is firmly believed that thousands of white voters want to give the colored schools a large term. Francis S. Carmody is the strongest candidate the Republicans could put up in Prince George's County for the State Senate. Beyond all doubt he is the first man to unite the colored vote and the party. He will poll the entire Republican vote and many hundred Democratic votes. There is no doubt of his election. There is a very large vote in the adjoining counties. I can hear of no other name but Carmody's. It is believed that the entire Republican ticket will be elected. MASONIC SERMON. Rev. Beaman Speaks to the Scottish Rites. Rev. J. N. Beaman, pastor of Union Baptist Church, Vienna, Va., addressed the Scottish Rite Masons at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church last Sunday evening. The church was largey crowded with many distinguished men of the craft besides many visiting Masons. He said, among other things: The message I shall bring to you on this occasion is "The Most Illustrious Model of Masonry," based upon the text, Enoch "walked with God." Gen. 5:24. After discussing Masonry and giving a history of the organization, what it stands for, its value and good it has and is doing, he reverted to his text. Noah walked with God. God said to Abner, "Walk before me and be thou perfect." Hezekiah prayed unto the Lord, "I have walked before Thee in truth." David cried out, "I have set the Lord always before me." Again he said: "I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living." But Enoch was the first to walk with God, the pioneer of righteousness and purity, the most illustrious example of real Masonry. He walked with God, which denotes true religion or godliness. What is godliness, but walking with God. It portrays a life of elevated piety, not merely a constant realization of divine presence, or — when a perpetual effort at holy obedience, but also a perseverance of the most confidential intercourse with the personal God. We are told Enoch lived sixty and five years, and a son was born unto him, implying that he lived a life in common witt. He moral and religious standard of his times. It was a most interesting and instructive sermon. Rv. Jeaman will deliver another one of his famous sermons at Galbraith Church November 2, at 8 p. m., to the Charles Dutcher's Lodge, F. A. A. M., No. 15. Sunday, November 2, divine services will be held in Galbraith A. M. E. Zion Church, Sixth, between L and M Streets. A very elaborate program has been announced—singing by the choir, invocation by Rev. W. H. Collett, scripture reading by Rev. F. W. Graham, solo by Charles H. Young, sermon by Rev. J. N. Beaman, remarks by Mr. W. G. M. Nelson, S. Weatherless, and Rev. S. L. Corrothers. CORRECTIONS In the report of the testimonial given Rev. Jesse A. Taylor, pastor of the Baptist Church, Garfield, D. C., published in the last column, first and fourth pages, of last week's Bee, the following typographical errors occur: Praper was offered by Rev. G. W. Many, not Maury, and in Mr. Martin's address, page four, "socially inferior" should read "racially inferior." Mr. Maxfield Mr. M. C. Maxfield, who was so severely injured two weeks ago and carried to the Freedmen's Hospital, is fast improving and will be able to return to his home very soon. SACRIFICES NOT REQUIRED BY GOD THE DOCTRINES OF JESUS. Pastor Russell's Preaching—Why Not "Fashionable"—Why It Is Doctrinal. Eating God's Word—Unrequired and Undesirable Sacrifices—Acceptable Sacrifices—The Rewards of Accepted Sacrifices—The Better Sacrifices. Washington, D. C., Oct. 19.—We report one of Pastor Russell's discourses from the text, "Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin Thou wouldst not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the Law."—Hebrews 10:8. PASTOR RUSSELL Before discussing his text, the Pastor answered the queries of some who ask why he does not preach "fashionable" sermons, and give his audiences a digest of his readings in the leading magazines, or some dissertation on scientific progress, public parks, better housing for the poor, etc. His answer is that this field is already over-filled with laborers; and besides that he has a different commission, which reads, "The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because He hath anointed me to preach the good titlings to the meek; He hath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted." Isaiah 61:1. Others, again, ask the Pastor why he does not preach more against intemperance, the social evil, etc—occasionally smashing chairs for emphasis. His reply is that the Master and the Apostles set the standard which he believers should be followed. Their preaching was neither rant nor cant. St. Paul emphasized this in writing to Timothy, saying, "Preach the Word!" St. Peter emphasized it when he said, "Show forth the praises of Him who hath called us out of darkness into His marvelous light!" Jesus inculcated this when He said, "Feed My sheep," and again, "Search the Scriptures—they testify of Me." The Pastor declared that he preaches doctrinal sermons, because he follows the example of Jesus and the Apostles, not considering himself wise enough to improve upon their methods and example. Jesus' preaching was doctrinal, though along the simplest lines, because none of His hearers had been begotten of the Holy Spirit. The Apostle Epistles to spirit-begotten Christians set forth holy doctrines. The Divine thought is expressed by the Apostle that beginners in the Christian way, as new-born babies, should desire the sinner's milk of the Word that they might grow thereby, while advanced Christians should feed upon the strong meat. "Thy Words were found and I did eat them" is the Lord's way of representing the growth in grace and knowledge of those who are begotten of the Holy Spirit as New Creatures. How very few Christians today understand the very simplest doctrines Divine! How few could explain justification by faith versus justification by works! How few could explain the Bible doctrine of sanctification! How few know anything about the hope of the "resurrection of the dead," or any other Bible doctrine! Truly the Bible declares of our day, "My people perish for lack of knowledge"; and again, "I will send a famine in the land, salth the Lord God—not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the Word of the Lord."—Hosea 4:3; Amos S:11. Unrequired and Undesirable Sacrifices. God never requires sacrifices. As our Creator, He has a right to make such demands of us as He will, and we would be obligated to obey. But such obedience could not be properly termed sacrifice. The word sacrifice signifies that which is voluntarily offered to God outside of any Divine requirement. The sacrifices and offerings of the Jewish Law were privileges. By the offer of bullocks and goats the transgressions of the Israelites were covered year by year in advance, and thus they were permitted to have a continued standing with God. But our text tells us that the sacrifices were not wholly satisfactory to the Lord. They were merely typical of "better sacrifices" and were acceptable only as types. St. Paul is quoting from the forthright-Paul (V. 6-8). Through the Prophet David the Lord declared that the sacrifices of the Law, which could never really cancel sin, were not fully to His pleasement. Christ is here represented as taking note of the fact that the typical sacrifices of the Law could never take away sin, but that His own body had been especially provided as a Sin-offering. He had humbled Himself to take the human nature. The object of all this was to provide the better Sacrifice necessary for the redemption of Adam and his race. Further, we read of the Master's consacration when He was thirty years of age. His sacrificial sentiments are expressed in the words, "Thea said I, Lo, I come to do Thy will, O God, as in the volume of the Book It is written of Me." Everything that the Father had caused to be written, in the Law and the Prophets, respecting the penalty of sin and the bearing of that penalty by a Savior and Sin-bearer, Jesus pledged Himself to carry out. "Better Sacrifices"—Plural. We should not overlook the fact that the typical Atonement Day sacrifices were plural, and that the Apostle speaks of the antitypes in the plural—"better sacrifices" than those offered under the Law. Here we find again the lesson elsewhere set forth; namely, that it had been from the beginning the Divine purpose that our Lord and Redeemer should have followers, members, who would pass through similar experiences to His own, of suffering, trial, dying, and afterward be associated with Him in glory on the Heavenly plane, His joint-heirs in the Messianic Kirkdom. In harmony with this thought, Jesus is the High Priest of our order, or profession, and we are the under-priesthood now preparing, as He prepared, for the glorious-work of the Age to come. Hence St. Peter styles these a Royal Priesthood, because of the combination of kingly power with priestly service. These are merely preparations for the grand work of Messiah during His Millennium Reign of righteousness for human uplift. Holy and Acceptable Sacrifices. Divine Law, having sentenced Adam to death, and indirectly including his race, nevertheless purposed a deliverance through a Savior. Neither Moses nor any other fallen man could make a real atonement for sin. Israel's Atonement Day sacrifices were merely foreshadows, or types, God could not accept the death of a bullock, of a goat, or both, as an offset to the penalty against Adam and his race. Such sacrifices were not acceptable. The Law read, "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a man's life for a man's life." Hence a bullock and a goat could never be acceptable to God as a substitutionary sacrifice for Adam and those involved with him. But God prepared Jesus with such a body as would be acceptable; and He "offered up Himself" an acceptable Sacrifice. The Divine acceptance of it was signified doubly: (1) At the time of His consecration at Jordan, by the impartation of the Holy Spirit; and (2) By the resurrection of Jesus, born of the Spirit, as a completion of His acceptance to the Divine nature, glory and immortality. Our Lord's was the acceptable Sacrifice, yet it was not all that God had foreplured, or typed. As there was an offering of a bullock, typifying the death of Jesus, so there was a subsequent offering of a goat, typifying the sacrifice of the Church. (Hebrews 13:11-13) Christ's sacrifice, the bullock, was fat; the Church's sacrifice, the goat, is lean-fat representing love, loyalty, perfection. The sacrifice of Jesus, the High Priest, continued during the three and a half years of His ministry, and ended with His death. Forty days after His resurrection He ascended on High, with still further dignity and honor added—the Divine nature. He then made application of the merit of His sacrifice on behalf of all who desire to become members of the Royal Priesthood. Those in the upper room at Pentecost were the first to be begotten of the Holy Spirit and to become acceptable sacrifices. Since then, others have been received from every nation. Gradually the foreordained number of such sacrificers, or priests, has been reaching completion. We believe that the sacrifices will soon be consumated, and that very shortly the Body of Christ beyond the vell will be completed. Forthwith the Messianic Kingdom will be established for the blessing of the world. The Divine plan for the world is the reverse of the plan for the Church. Christ and the Church sacrificed the human nature in their loyal devotion to God. Their great reward is the Heavenly nature and the Kingdom. The world will have no opportunity for sacrificing the flesh, but every opportunity for perfecting their flesh. "Present Your Bodies." The Apostle's words, "I beseech you, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice," do not mean that God urges us to sacrifice, but the Apostle, discerning the opportunity to become followers of Jesus and thus to become joint-heirs with Him in His Kingdom, urges fellow-disciples to appreciate the wonderful privilege of self-sacrifice in God's service. Other Scriptures show us that our acceptance as sacrifices is not on our own account, but through the merit of the Captain of our salvation. In the Ransom-price for the sin of the whole world, the sins of the Church were necessarily included; for they are by nature a part of the world. But instead of receiving their share of Christ's merit in Restitution with the remainder of the world during the Millennium, a special dispensation operates on their behalf, permitting their share of the coming blessings to be imputed to them instead of being actually given them. This imputation is made only to such as profess a desire to walk in the footsteps of Jesus and to sacrifice earthly interests, and life itself, for the Heavenly. The imputation covers all their deficiencies, and permits them to be accepted as members of the Body of Christ for sacrifice, and also to be counted in as members of the New Creation, the spiritual Body of Christ. And for such as faithfully live up to their Covenant of Sacrifice, the Dylane provision is glory, honor, immortality and joint-heelship with the Deedemer Himself, whose work will be the spirit of humanity from sin and death, and the destruction of the incorrigible. Some Sacrifices Are Unacceptable. Few seem to realize that sacrificing is a privilege. We have seen that the sacrifices possible to the best of humanity would be unacceptable, because all are sinners—to a lesser or a greater degree. Hence all who desire now to come unto the Heavenly Father, by the narrow way of sacrifice, must first be justified through the merit of the great High Priest of our profession. Now we notice that some whose sacrifices, presented by our great High Priest, which have been accepted by God, eventually are rejected. Indeed, this class is described in the Bible as a great multitude, in comparison to the faithful and acceptable sacrifices, who are styled the Little Flock. There is a reason for the rejection of such sacrifices; for there is no partiality with God. The reason is that only those who have the spirit, the zeal, of the Master, the High Priest, are acceptable to God. The sacrificing of Jesus was done with delight—as we read, "I delight to do Thy will, O God!" A half-hearted sacrifice, or sacrificing grudgingly done, would not be pleasing to God. The cold unbeliever is more pleasing in the Lord's sight than the lukewarm believer. As we read, "I would that thou wert cold or hot. So then, because thou art lukewarm, I will spew thee out of My mouth." (Revelation 3:15, 16.) This principle holds in respect to all who make a consecration of themselves to God. If they are consumed with loving zeal in the Lord's service, then the "fat" offering rises as a sweet odor to the Lord. But a half-hearted service brings neither joy to the sacrificor nor pleasure to the Lord. Nevertheless, in much mercy the Lord recognizes that these, even while failing to live up to their consecration, vow, are not His enemies. They indeed love righteousness and hate iniquity, but not with a sufficiency of zeal to warrant their being accepted as members of the Bride.class. This does not signify eternal torment, or any other terrible future, for these brethren of insufficient zeal. It does mean, according to the Bible, a rejection from being members of the Bride class. The Lord even has a goodly portion for such, if they still love Him, still love the Truth, even though they be bounded by the fear of dying, and thus are held back from full presentation of their bodies daily as holy, living sacrifices in the Master's service. Before the Throne Instead of In It. Before the throne instead of in IE. Under different pictures the Lord shows us what will be the fate of those who have made the consecration vow, who claim loyalty to Him, and who yet cling to the world and to Babylon. Instead of getting the crown of glory, these are represented as getting a palm of victory. Instead of being counted worthy to escape certain troubles in the end of this Age, these will be obliged to pass through these troubles, and to suffer destruction of their flesh, which they failed to sacrifice.—Revelation 7:14-17. Again, as the overcomers, the Little Flock, are symbolically styled the Bride, the Lamb's Wife, so those not found worthy of membership in the Bride class will, through great tribulations, be made worthy to be bridesmales, described as "virgins," the Bride's companions, who will follow her. (Psalm 45:14.) They will have a glorious share in the Kingdom work as servants in the Royal Family; but, by their fear to accomplish their sacrifices, they will lose the grand distinction designed only for those who shall be found copies of God's dear Son. Their sacrifices being disesteemed to the Lord, they will be brought to perfection on the spirit plane through the destruction of the desh. St. Paul pictures these when describing the end of this Gospel Age. He says that every man's work shall be tried so as by fire; for the Day that cometh shall declare it. He that buildeth with wood, hay and stubble shall have his work destroyed, but he that buildeth with the gold, silver and precious stones of the Divine promises will receive the great reward. The Apostle proceeds to say that neverless all who build upon the Rock, Christ Jesus, shall not be confounded; that, although the fire of that Day (the Time of Trouble with which this Age will close) will consume their unsatisfactory faith-structure of wood, hay and stubble, yet they themselves shall be saved so as by fire.—I Corinthians 3:11-15. Making Our Election Sure. making Our Election Sure. In view of this Scripture we see a force in the Apostle's exhortation that the followers of Jesus should lay aside every weight and every besetting sin, and run with patience the race set before them. We see that while the whole world is to have a blessing from the Savior by and by—a Breathtitution blessing—they cannot get it yet. We see that only those who come to Jesus and accept the Divine arrangement of the narrow way, of the Gospel Age are begotten of the Holy Spirit. We see that even this is not enough, but that "A Heavenly race demands our zeal. And an immortal crown." We see that to be a Christian, of the first class, means to be a most earnest and most zealous saint, who, like the Apostle Paul, can say, I count that all things earthly are but loss that I might win Christ— membership in the Church, which is the Body of Christ. Ah, something very intense indeed is meant by a nomination for the position which God gives to the faithful few! It means the opening of a door of opportunity whereby these may, if they will, make their calling and their election sure to glory, honor and immortality, the Divine nature.—2 Peter 14. RECORD OF FIRES AT SEA APPALLING Majority of Disasters Were Accompanied by Heavy Loss of Life—Fate of Many Ships Lost Before Days of Wireless Unknown, but No Doubt Many Were Burned. New York.—Fire at sea has caused a heavy loss of life in the past century. In the days before the invention of wireless many vessels left port and were never heard from again. What proportion of these suffered from fire and what proportion were lost in other ways no one knows. An average of one steam vessel has been destroyed or damaged by fire every day for the last seven years and a half, according to figures compiled at the bureau Veritas of Paris, which keeps a complete register of maritime casualties. From Jan. 1, 1906, until June 30, 1913, 155 steam vessels were destroyed by fire and in the same period 2,447 steam vessels were partially burned. S. CAPTAIN INCH, COMMANDER OF BURNED VOLTUENO. CAPTAIN INCH, COMMANDER OF BURNED VOLTURO. The record of ship fires appears to increase each year; in 1906 there were 240 fires, in 1907 there were 288, the next year there were 349, in 1909 there were 313, in 1910 there were 355, in 1911 there were 424, last year there were 388 and in the first six months of 1913 there were 225. In 1912 and the first half of 1913 these vessels were destroyed by fire Isa, Spondillus, Consols, Zinnla, Axel, Snorre, Sidney C.

Brady, Hispania, Perdita, Estonla, Alum China, Frost, Charles Nelson and Ophir, Twenty-nine steam vessels had fires in June last. Among the known losses of ships by fire one of the first was that of the Erie, a lake steamboat, which was burned on Lake Erie on Aug. 9, 1841, with a loss of 175 lives. On Nov. 21, 1847, the steamer Phoenix was burned on Lake Michigan with a loss of 240 lives. On Aug. 24, 1848, the American emigrant ship Ocean Monarch, from Liverpool for New York, was burned off the coast of Wales, and about 200 souls were lost. Another steamer on the great lakes, the Griffith, was burned on Lake Erie on June 17, 1850, with a loss of life of 300 persons. The transatlantic steamship Amazon was burned off the Scilly islands on Jan. 24, 1852, with a loss of 100 lives. A year later, on Feb. 16, 1853, 140 persons were killed in the burning of the Independence off the coast of Lower California. A St. Lawrence river steamer, the Montreal, on her way from Quebec to Montreal, was burned on June 26, 1857, the death toll being 250 persons. The most appalling accident of its kind up to that time was the burning in midocean of the steamer Austria, bound from Hamburg to New York. Four hundred and seventy-one persons lost their lives in this disaster. The great lakes again come into the list on April 9, 1868, with the burning of the steamer Sea Bird on Lake Michigan, in which 100 lives were lost. On Oct 27 of the following year a Mississippi river steamboat, the Stonewall, was burned just south of Coilr. Ill., and 200 were killed. A disaster of practically the same proportions as that of the Austria occurred on Dec 6, 1874, when the Cospatrick, a ship in the emigrant carrying business, was burned and 470 persons killed. The eighties had their share of marine disasters, but fire was not a feature of them. On Dec. 20, 1800, the British steamship Shanghai was burned in the China sea with the loss of 100 passengers and crew. The Abyssinia of the Gulon line, bound from New York for Liverpool, was burned at sea on Dec. 18, 1801. The North German Lloyd steamship Spree came along and saved 147 lives. SLEEPING TREE FOUND. South Sea Island Palm Blooms Only Once In Fifty Years. San Franciisco.—A specimen of the rare "sleeping palm" has been found in Golden Gate park, probably the only one in the United States. Curator Barron discovered it as he was walking in the park with his young son. The tree, which was brought to this country forty years ago by the famous Australian botanist, William Robinson, gives out a peculiar aromatic odor. Barron smelled the exotic fragrance and discovered the tree, whose upper branches were laden with beautiful rainbow hued flowers giving forth heavy perfume. It was found that the tree, which had originally been brought from one of the south sea islands, belonged to the species Cocaea somnabulpe, or sleeping palm, which blooms only once in fifty years and the flowers of which were formerly used as a drug by islanders. NEW SUN SPOT THEORY. Professor Orta Says Spots Decrease as Cometa Approach the Sun. San Jose, Cal.-Professor A. Orta of the observatory of the University of Santa Clara announced that he had discovered that the activity of the sun in phenomena known as sun spots was intimately related to the distance of comets. He said that during a period of 164 years to date there had been 238 comets (their returns, included) that apparently had influenced the action of the sun, having their perihelia coincidentally with the minima of spot frequency. DIVINING ROD CONGRESS. Efficacy to Be Officially Tested In Germany. Halle.—A congress to test the efficacy of the divining rod in discovering deposits of potash and coal, subterranean caves and water streams opened here under official sanction. Delegates from the United States are in attendance, and the members include the president of the province of Saxony and other provincial municipal and university officials. difference Become So Thick on Plates That Engines Are Powerless. Boston—Quite a strange story was told by the crew of the British steamship Rochelle, which reached port four days late from Santo Domingo. According to the several men on board, the delay to the freighter was due principally to electric fish, which were attracted by the steel plates of the vessel and fastened themselves by the hundreds against her bottom and sides. The vessel was in the gulf stream north of Cuba when she began to slow down. The Rochelle is new, and her engines were working splendidly. Some of the sailors said they felt a tingling sensation about their feet and finger tips. A few of the crew, more superstitious than the others, began to be alarmed. The coal supply began to diminish rapidly, for the stokers were kept busy shoveling fuel into the furnace in an effort to increase the speed. Every part of the vessel was examined to determine the cause of the delay. Finally one of the sailors happened to look over the port side and found it covered with strange, looking fish. They were two or three feet thick along the port side under the water. The starboard side also was covered. As the Rochelle moved north and got out of the gulf stream the fish dropped off and the vessel resumed her customary speed. The coal supply, however, had run so low that Captain Greig made for Norfolk, where the bunkers were refilled. While the presence of electric fish in tropical waters is well known, the Rochelle is the first vessel to come to Boston whose progress has been impeded by them. These fish are known also as torpedo fish. They emit an electric shock which is powerful enough to kill smaller fish. Some of the electric fish attain a weight of 200 pounds. PARCEL POST AND "C. O. D." No Packages Not Ordered Can Be Sent That Way. Washington.-The postoffice department announced that merchants who ship goods that have not been ordered by parcel post "C. O. D." will be investigated by the department. All charges on such packages must be prepaid. "Easy money operators and confidence men cannot use the C. O. D. feature of the parcel post," said John C. Koons, chairman of Postmaster General Burleson's committee on the parcel post. Chinese Wedding Custom. San Francisco. New wedding ceremony for Chinese has been devised. It conformed with the ancient custom in that bride and bridegroom had never seen each other before, but had the "obey" left out. SAFETY AT SEA REDFIELD'S AIM WOULD TRAIN ALL SEAMEN. Work Should Be Divided Into Two Parts—First, Instruction of Each Boat Crew In Lowering of Lifeboats and, Second, the Training of Entire Corps as a Unit—Discipline Needed. Washington—Drills in handling of lifeboats and in other duties arising in cases of emergencies at sea are recommended among other things by the committee on efficiency of officers and crews of ocean merchant vessels in its report. The committee was appointed by Mr. Redfield, secretary of commerce. Its report-embodies the recommendations the American delegation will offer at the London international conference on safety at sea. Fire drills and drills in closing bulkhead doors are among those mentioned as essential. The committee divides the proposed lifeboat drill into two parts. The first is the training of each boat crew in the swinging out and lowering of boats, direction and stowing of passengers and the use of cars and other equipment. The second is training of the entire crew as a unit in the duties that develop when it becomes necessary to abandon a vessel. "The efficiency of the crew as a unit," says the report, "can be attained only by frequent and thorough drills of the entire crew, or at least of a full watch of all departments, and such drills should take place after the ship has left the wharf on her voyage and, as a rule, once a week." Discipline and obedience to orders, the physical condition of the men and proper living and working conditions are mentioned as important factors in using offduty. n efficient boat hand, the report s, should have a government certi- of efficiency, which will be re- cized reciprocally by other govern- its. He should be trained in anching, lowering and handling boats a. the use of oars and should have at least one year on board ves- sels. Lookouts and all navigating or deck officers should be required to pass tests of vision, color sense and hearing, says the committee. LIQUOR KILLS APE'S GERMS. Physicians Think That's Why Inoculated Monkey Lives. Baltimore—The scientists at Johns Hopkins hospital who are watching the Hunterian laboratory experiment with Woodrow Macus Rhesus, a monkey, are astonished that Woodrow should be alive with the germs of a rare disease in his blood-germs that killed five brother simians shortly after they were inoculated. Woodrow had knocked out the germ theory to a certain degree; then he sat up in his cage eating bananas in lively fashion and oblivious to the presence of the germs, which have caused the death of four patients at the hospital. One theory in explanation of the monkey remaining alive is that the toxicants he imbibed when he recently disappeared and was taken on a tour of saloons may have eliminated the germs. HAS A $100,000,000 JOB. Shuman, Subtreasurer at Chicago, Has Had Interesting Career. Chicago.—A man who eighteen years ago as a country boy walked into the First National bank at Sullivan, Ill., and applied for the position of errand boy became the custodian of nearly $100,000,000 when Irving Shuman, took the oath of office as assistant treasurer of the United States in the federal building here. Mr. Shuman qualified for the position some days ago in Washington after giving bonds of $400,000. He is now the principal owner of the bank in Sullivan and is the first Democrat to be appointed assistant treasurer in Chicago since President Cleveland's time. PRODUCES 500 PUMPKINS. One Vine Covers Eighth of Acre; One Pumpkin Weighs a Hundred Pound. Conway, S. C.—If Peter, Peter, Pumpkin Enter, had run across an enormous pumpkin vine growing on the property of Dr. R. G. Sloan on Little river, this county, he could have kept 500 wives. The vine, which was of voluntary growth, is believed to be the largest in the world. It covers more than an eighth of an acre and has produced about 500 pumpkins, the largest of which weighs nearly a hundred pounds. At 93 Has Married 925, Buried 2,142. At New London, Conn.-Hundreds of Baptists in eastern Connecticut and Rhode Island will join soon in ince- brating the ninety-third birthday of the Rev. Joseph P. Brown of this city. The Rev. Mr. Brown is known as the "marrying" and "burying" pastor, hav- ing preached 2,142 funeral sermons and officiated at 925 marriages.

Amid enthusiasm that kept an audience which crowded the Ebenezer Baptist Church on A Street, until after midnight, listening to eloquent addresses by John Mitchell, of Richmond, Va., a delegate to the Bankers' convention in Boston, and Mayor J. H. Gainer of this city, the tenth annual meeting of the New England Suffrage League came to a close with an address to the country in which the attempted segregation of colored clerks at Washington was denounced and the politicians were notified that opposition to it would be the test of friendship from now on. The league declared it a reflection upon the United States that members of a class who had given their lives in every war in defence of the flag should be under the necessity of protesting against race discrimination in the 50th anniversary year of its emancipation. The National Petition movement to President Wilson to stop the color segregation under his cabinet officers was endorsed and several hundred signatures were secured from the audience. It was declared by Rev. J. H. Wiley, pastor of the church, that colored men were in different parties, but they could all unite to protest injustice to their class by any party. Mr. Joseph Dunn, of Providence, announced that he was a Democrat and dramatically called upon President Wilson, whom he had supported, to retract segregation and upon Congressman O'Shauneys, for whose election he had labored, to protest it. Rev. W. S. Gay, of Hartford, Conn., said he as a disappointed Republican, had supported Governor Wilson in an effort to make friends of the political enemy, but was now disgusted to see an increase of color discrimination under President Wilson. John Mitchell, of Richmond, the orator of the evening, said the colored people of the South owed all they had to their race in the North, that out of 5,000 colored voters in Richmond only 500 were now allowed to vote and that it was absurd to deny the ballot to an element of citizens who owned $$$700,000,000 worth of property and produced millions of dollars worth of commodities. The following officers were elected: President, W. M. Trotter, Boston, Mass.; vice-president-at-large, Rev. Walter Gay, Conn.; first vice-president, Rev. J. L. Davis, N. H.; second vice-president, S. D. Gaines, Newport, R. I.; third vice-president, Mrs. Mary Gibson, Boston, Mass.; recording secretary, E. P. Oliver, Providence, R. I.; assistant secretary, M. T. Steward, Mass.; corresponding secretary, J. H. Magnett, Mass.; assistant corresponding secretary, Rev. C. L. Miller, R. I.; treasurer, Rev. J. H. Wiley, R. I.; chaplain, Rev. H. N. Shields, Mass.; sergeant-at-arms, Joseph Dunn, R. I.; statistician, E. B. Jourdian, Mass.; chairman of executive committee, Rev. W. B. Swain, Boston, Mass. Kentucky News Louisville, Ky., Oct. 7, 1913. Hon. Ralph W. Tyler, national organizer of the National Negro Business League, will address the local branch of that body on tomorrow evening, October 8, at the colored branch of the Y. M. C A., giving a general resume of the work for the year past as reported at the convention recently held in Philadelphia, and advising along lines for betterment, which it is hoped will be carried out the ensuing year. While in this city Mr. Tyler will be the guest of Prof. A. E. Meyzeek, at his Chestnut street home. That foremost Negro entertainer, S. H. Dudley, is now making his headquarters in this city, and has assumed personal charge of the Ruby, Theatre, which is the local playhouse of the large chain of Dudley theaters all over the country. They are presenting top-notch bills each week, and have many more good acts billed for appearance later in the season Last week the noted Griffin sisters were the headliners, and Martin and Chenault are booked for an early date. Dr. Horace Morris, a 1913 graduate of the Medical Department of Howard University, who intends to practice in Louisville, has returned to Washington to engage in some active practice at Freedman's Hospital; while waiting for the Kentucky Medical Board to hold its December meeting. The Chestnut Street C. M. E. Church is holding a Home Coming week of entertainments, with a special program for each evening. The first evening was given over to the Lawyers, at which time speeches were made by Attorneys W. H. Wright, W. C. Brown, H. C. Taylor, Al. Andrews, and N. R. Harper, who presided. The other evenings will be given over to the Doctors, Teachers, Ministers, Fraternal bodies, and the public. Mr. Henry Nixon, a graduate of the College Department of Howard University, has been appointed as teacher of Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics, in the Louisville Central High School. Mr. Nixon was a noted foot ball and basket ball player while at Howard, and is at present coaching the high school eleven for its fall games. He is also endeavoring to organize a basket ball team for the Y. M. C. A. Mr. Nixon was picked three successive times for the back field on the All-American Team for Negro Colleges. Lawyer Al A. Andrews, who while living in Washington, D. C., was the general correspondent for the Louisville Columbian, and the Lexington News, and sometimes contributor to the Washington Bee, is meeting with much success in the practice of law in Louisville, to which place he returned after resigning his position in the Department of Agriculture at Washington. The only Negro who is making the race for the State legislature, Lee L. Brown, from the 50th legislative district, who is running on the Republican ticket, is generally conceded to have an excellent chance to be elected. Negroes have made the legislative race before from the district, but none were ever elected, and one of the notable men who made the race is Hon. W. D. Johnson, now residing in Washington. Of the National Training School. The National Training School for Women and Girls, Lincoln Heights, begins its work with the largest attendance of any year since the opening of the institution four years ago. Twenty-five States and three foreign countries are represented. The dormitories are overrun. There is a large number of students who have been accepted yet to come. The Faculty is exceptionally strong and it is very evident that the work of the year will be most creditably done. Very few our older institutions cover a wider territory in their student body, and no institution started by the race for the race has attained in so short a time the national prominence that the Training School at Lincoln Heights enjoys. There, is just another striking fact in connection with this work that can not be overlooked. Wherever the students of the institution appear, they make a most profound impression. Several of the graduates are now engaged in the work for which they have been trained and they are making good. The singers from the institution have appeared before several national gatherings, and any number of local audiences for both races and at the great World's Meeting in Philadelphia. On every occasion they have acquitted themselves well. The National Training School is without doubt the institution of the hour for the training of women and girls. A RACIAL PARALLEL Rev. A. J. Carey, Pastor of the Institutional Church, Chicago, Wires Approval of Jews' Mass Meeting in Washington and Calls Attention to the Wrongs of the Afro-American People. Chicago, Ill., Oct. 14. A great mass meeting was held in Washington City Sunday night to protest against the action of the Russian government in prosecuting Mendel Beilis, a Jew of Kiev, charged with "ritual murder." Although it has many times been proven false, this ritual murder lie has persisted against the Jews for hundreds of years. Rev, A. J. Carey, D. D., pastor of the Institutional A. M. E. Church, Chicago, sent the following telegram to the Washington mass meeting, approving the protest and calling attention to the similarity of the treatment of the Jews in Russia and the colored Christians in the United States: "Greeting. May your protest prove effective. May God aid you in disproving for all time the infamous "ritual murder" lie. "Caucasian Christians in this country have treated colored Christians in about the same manner as Russian Christians have treated the Jews. Just now efforts are being made in some parts of the country to revive a form of the medieval ghetto, from which your race has just emerged, and compel colored Americans to reside therein. Ghettos are also in active operation in some of the government departments in Washington. "While you are protesting against the wrongs of your race in Europe, kindly say a word against the oppression, persecution, denial of civil rights, segregation, disfranchisement and mob-murders of colored Christians by Caucasian Christians in the United States." MR. HARRY A. WILLIAMS Director of the Vocal Department of the Washington Conservatory of Music the past two seasons, has opened a Studio at 1944 9th Street N. W. STUDIES PRISON FROM THE INSIDE Gets the Same Fare and Dons Regular Prison Clothes—Is Bathed as He Enters and Assigned to Cell—Will Determine Effects of Prison Life on Mind. Auburn N. Y.—Emulating the example of Governor Hunt of Arizona, who in March, 1912, had himself locked up with convicts to share their experience of prison life. Thomas Mott Osborne, chairman of the state commission for prison reform, has entered Auburn prison and is serving a self imposed sentence for the purpose of studying the effect of discipline, food, labor and the general prison system on a convict's mind. Mr. Osborne entered the prison as any new convict would do, went [Picture of a man with a mustache and a suit]. THOMAS MOTT OSBORNE. through the routine, such as being taken for a bath, a session with the prison barber and prison tailor, and went through the same grind as a convicted felon. In reply to a question he said he was ready to "take all his medicine" and would not balk at the dungeon should his conduct at any time justify his incarceration there. The results of the study are to be embodied in a report to be made by the commission that is studying prison reform with a view to legislation next year. Chairman Osborne spoke to the convicts in chapel and said in part: "As chairrun of the commission on prison reform appointed by Governor Sulzer the superintendent of prisons and Warden Rattigan have kindly given me permission to carry out a plan to determine the psychological effect of the prison system on the prisoners. If sympathy and understanding from a vivid personal experience are desirable to studying, say, some foreign country, they are even more necessary in the case of a group of men set apart by society such as this prison community. For in your cases the conditions under which you live are more unnatural and less easy for most persons to grasp than those of a foreign country. "Moreover, most of the books that have been written about you by so called 'penologists' are written largely from the outside standpoint and with so little intelligent sympathy and vital understanding that few are of real value. They seem to be based on the assumption that the prisoner is not a human being like the rest of us, but is a strange sort of animal called a 'criminal', wholly different in his instincts, feelings and actions from the rest of mankind. "I want to find out whether our prison system is unintelligent; whether it files in the face of all common sense and human nature, as I think it does; whether, guided by sympathy and experience, we cannot find something far better to take its place, as I believe we can. "I am coming here to learn what I can at first hand. In the court of conscience I have been found guilty of having lived many years indifferent to and ignorant of what has been going on behind these walls and have been sentenced to a short term at hard labor in Auburn prison. I expect to begin serving my sentence this week and am-coming here to live your life, to be housed, clothed, fed, treated in all respects like one of you. I want to see for myself exactly what your life is like—not as viewed from the outside in, but from the inside out." No Rent For Thirty Years. Columbus, Ind.-John Zimmerman, seventy-nine, known popularly as John Cinnamon, is dead here in a home he had occupied for thirty years without paying a cent of rental. Francis T.

Mr. Carmody knows no man by the color.of his skin. He kriows| men by what they can and will do.- There is not a colored Re- publican in Prince Georges Coun- ty, Maryland, whois not favora- bly known to Mr. Carmody. The Bee is in possession of facts that warrant every colored’ man in Prince Georges County to vote for Mr. Francis S, Carmody in the coming election. He believes in good citizenship and men who will protect the constitutional rights of all classes of citizens irrespéct- ive of color or condition. The Bee briefly spoke of Mr. Carmody last week because want of time would not permit it to say more at that time. Mr. Carmody has been a Republican all of his life. His work for the party and his advo- cacy of its principles speak for themselves. ° No man has ever beer to him in distress and been refused aid. He believes in law and. order. He believes that ever man should be protected in his constitutional rights. Hg believes in a longer school term'for colored children in the State of Maryland, and if the colored voter fails to do his duty he will be held responsible for a bad school system in Prinée Georges County, Maryland... Mr. Carmody is a strong man and re- gardless of existing conditions in this country, Francis S. Carmody would not hesitate to go to the front in defense of any citizen, no matter what his color may be. In - the recent riot in Baltimore, Md., “Mr. Carmody appealed for fair play‘and he saw to it that no vio- lator of the law should escape. With such a man in the legisla= ture of Maryland, men who obey the law are the only men capable of making laws. Men who believe in discretionary laws, that is, laws _ that discriminate against one class of citizens to the detriment of an- other class, is unfit to be elected to the legislature. Only honest men are fit to conduct a government. Only honest men are capable of making just and impartial laws. The voters of Prince Georges County, Maryland, would de themselves an honor by electing _ Mr. Carmody to the State Senate He is not a new man, He has been with you for years. You know him to be a man of integrity arfd honor. Princé Georges Coun ty could not do a more honorabl act than to elect Mr. Carmody t the State Senate. The distric will be well and honorably repre sented. The people will have real man to represent them. H believes in the poor people, th struggling people, the people wh support our government. The colored voter will not mak the mistakes he made last fal . He sees how he is suffering toda He hasn't begun to suffer to wh: he will suffer before the termin: « tion of this administration. It -” important to the country that re . resentatives be elected to offic men who have some humanit; men who believe in giving justi * to the lowly. Mr. Carmody’s re ord stands high, His reputatic is above suspicion. The Bee addressing itself to the voters Prince Georges County, Mar -. Jand, irrespéctive of color or co dition. Men who believe in go citizenship and respect their hor RRAVE WORDS. ee a hae ae The speech delivered by Judge Marcus Kavanah, of the Superior Court, before the Irish Fellowship Club of Chicago last week on ‘The Future of the American Negro,” was a manly presentation of the cause of the colored American citizen. After referring to the growth of the colored population, from eight hundred thousand in 1790 to ten millions today, the Judge said: “Few of these are of pure African blood, and nearly all have white. blood; millions more’ white than black. Here they are about us, with white men’s hearts and white men’s brains, but shut out from everything in this life worth while.” This is a brave statement of a scientific truth which commends itself to all lovers of justice and fair play and constitutes an irresistible contradiction to those small spirits, all too numerous and persistent, v'ho are maliciously propagating and disseminatirig a sophistry to the effect that the colored American citizen is ethno- logically entirely different from the whites and devoid of those qualities and potentialities of heart and brain which characterize the majonty of the inhabitants of this country. It is true that the colored people of this country are essentially “white,” if that term has any sabstantial signification as an expression of mental, moral, social, spiritual or even material development. Having been reared, during these three or more centuries, under the influence of a “white” religion, a “white” morality, a “white” educational system, a “white” economic system and what not, it would be strange indeed were the colored people anything but essentially “white.” To be sure, as !¢ the rhatter of pigmentation the colored people are not “white” and if allowed to follow their bent will never be. But in all that makes for good .citizenship—appreciation of truth and jus- tice, religion, education, :ndustry and a desire for liberty—the col- ored brother displays an avidity, an instinct and capacity of accom- modation quite as well developed as do those of a slightly lighter hue. And, after all, the so-called “white” man is not white in color. The Judge was therefore eminently correct in asserting that we | have a white man’s heart and a white man’s brain. Indeed, he need not have made any distinctions as to race, since the white man’s heart is no grea’er than that of any other man’s; and it would re- quire something more than the bare egotistical assertion to prov¢ that there is,any material difference as to intellectual potentialities. Hence, the purpose of the noble Judge was useless, except in so far as it affected the pride of the white man to have made any particular reference touching the degree of Negro blood present in a majority of the colored Aserican. The Judge prescribes, as a remedy for the discriminations and proscription now being practiced against colored Americans, the application of “simple justice.” Would he were the sole arbiter and executor in this case!! He says: “The first thing to be done is to free ourselves from prejudices, then to free others; and I propose the appointment of a National Commis- sion to take evidence ‘and report on this matter.” That to free our- selves of, preconceived notions and ideas jn the determination of a proposition or the administration of simple justice becomes neces- sary, is self-evident. And evidently the Judge is already prepared to meet the proposition and to the extent of his ability administer the much needed “simple justice.” But how he can free others from prejudice is the question. Would the evidence of a National Com- mission effect it? It could do no more than collect facts and report on the subject, as he says. What then? And just here we are up against the same brick wah wjth which we came in contact at the start. What facts aré wanted; what more evidence is needed to show that the prejudice nuw inveigled against the colored peopte is unjust, un-American, un-Christian? The facts which have already been published showing beyond the shadow of a doube that there is no essential difference between the races, are voluminous and all-sufficient. There is not an intelligent, honest white person who | is not satisfied, in his heart, that the colored people are entitled to | equal privileges and opportunities with the whites. Then why more '/facts?. The whole matter hinges tipon the acceptance or rejection || of the great doctrine of the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. If, as has doubtless the Judge, every man-will accept and make practical this doctrine, no comission will be necessary, pre- '/judice will vanish and no right will be denied the colored people '| either as social or political factors. oO TILE COLORED LAWYER. It is very surprising to see all classes of -organizations «in this city, except the cdlored lawyer. Every effort has been made to or- ganize him, but all without suc- cess. ‘The colored lawyer of this city is given every opportunity at the bar by the court. He is treat ed fairly and gentlemanly by the judges, but the fault has been with him. He is not true to him- self. He finds fault with his brother and in many instances he criticises and degrades his brother ‘for no cause whatever. There are many colored lawyers in this city who deserve the highest coni- mendation, There are many who have the respect and’ confidence of the court, and there are many who seem to be selfish and mean The colored members of the Iccal bar have every opportunity * to make themselves felt and elevate themselves in-the estimation of the court. If there was an organ- ization’ among the colored mem- bers of the bar, the colored law- yer would be a power in this com- munity. This is but a friendly suggestion to the colored lawyer, with no desire or disposition to degrade him. Will he accept, it in the same spirit in which ‘it is given? Will he be benefited by this friendly advice? It is the de: | sire of The Bee to do all in its || power to elevate the colored mem: {| bers of the bar and to point a way -\that will elevate them.

KING OF THE ZULUS. __ Dinizulu, son of Cetywayo, the famous and interpid king of the Zulus,, died on the 18th instant. Like his father, Dinizulu dis; played wonderful heroism and military genius by which he made himself almost indispensable to the Boers, who were fighting against the English and French aggression. Upon being’ pro- claiteed King of Zululand by the Boers, he espoused their cause and led three rebellions against British power with telling effect. although he was tivice captured and in the first instance sent to.St. Iielena for a term and in: the sec- fond sentenced to four years of close confinement. Such’ was the jadmiration among the Liberals of }England for his manly bearing and heroism that they secured his ‘liberation; and he was given.a Pension upon the establishment of | the South African Union. This passing of the last formidable na- tive African King constitutes a pathetic commentary upon the ut- ter helplessness © of royalty when unaccompanied by physical power. In character and fortune: father and son were very similar Both were brave and resourcefu and after administering severa defeats were subsequently cap tured and imprisoned; buch wer liberated and pensioned; and bot! were lionized by the friends of lo | cal autonomy and admired by all Thus Africa—torn to pieces an - divided among European nation ' to satisfy their thirst for powe yfand dominion—can no loriger b f/said to be the home of the so \| called Negro—there he is only -|denizen, his country nas bee stolen from him. The African Ne =| gro, the Jew, the Irishman and th t) American colored man seem to b >| in the same boat. Get aboard!! We hold it essential for the preser- vation of this Republic in its integ- rity that all citizens, regardless, of nationality, race, creed or station, should stand equal before the law. We further hold that the advance- ment of the best interests of the peo- ple makes it the duty of the State to provide equal opportunity for all our youth, without discrimination, to ob- tain a common school education. The Republican party of the State of Maryland has in its plat- form that upon which all fair- minded and patriotic citizens may stand: “Equality beforé\the law’ ‘Timeatiow Refare shin Yaw. is the political slogan of the party. What, the cvtored people oF tke State need most is better school accommodations. It is believed that thousands of good white Democratic citizens in the State will vote the Republican ticket next month, because they believe in equality of citizenship. What the colored people mostly need is equal school facilities. ‘There is every reason to believe that the better element of white citizens believe in equality of citizenship. Many of the good white citizens do all in their power to aid and promote worthy colored citizens. Every reasonable citizen can sup- port the Republican platform be- cause it is fair and just. Thousands of white Democrats will support many Republican nominees because they want the country to prosper, No govern: ment can succeed when citizens disgrace the laws and attempt tc degrade those who have for year: appealed to the government fot protection. ‘The better element o! white citizens in the State o! Maryland have stood by the col ored people and scen that theit civil and political rights have beer guarded. Equality before the lay means everything to the peopl of Maryland. 4 WHEW! Word comes from the Pacific coast that the “New Zealand all- black rugby team” is literally an- nihilating the American all-white rugby teams and that not a single score has yet been registered against the “blacks.” Moreover, the westerners frankly admit that, though they have been in constant practice for Io! these seven wears, just to register a defeat in cheir favor against these same “blacks” they have not yet begun to learn the game. Two questions present themselves ‘just here. Would the western college boys deign to ac- cept a challenge from an “Ameri- can “allblack” rugby team or even an “American bouquet rugby team,” even though a skill were displayed equal to that of the New Zealanders? And if they accepted such challenge, would they admit that they were outclassed? . But what's the tise, Everything goes, just so it isn’t “American Ne- gro” or plain “Negro.” Until al the “scum” of the earth has been served, the American Negro must —wait. IUVENILE COURT. Judge J. W.,Latimer of the ju- venile Court las made many im- portant changes in the conduct of trying cases of juveniles. He doesn’t expose the offenders of the law to public view. He is in- deed a true and Christian re- former, Instead of making ‘these young offenders feel that they are criminals, he reasons with them in a faithful manner and points out to them that the wrong they have committed will eventually Iead them to deStruction. He has a real and keen conception of hu- man nature. He seems to know the boy. He makes himself one of them and if the youth has any conscience at all he is made a bet. ter boy before he leaves the court. Ile looks at all offenders alike and wien the Attorney General elect. ed nim as the successor to Judge DeLacy he made no mistake. The older he grows in the position tc which he was appointed the bette: he is. = His recent, trip some few. week: ago enlarged his ideas ahd he i now doing everything inhi: power to catry those ideas int operation.

SIGN AT ONCE. _ The Bee calls the attention of its readers ‘to the segregation pe- tition which appears in this week's issue of The Bee, and requests every reader of The Bee, and ev- ery citizen who ses it to sign it and return it to the secretary of! the Anti-Segregation Delegates, 1733 Seventh Street Northwest. Don't delay. Traitors retreat when boldly they are confronted. HOWARD UNIVERSITY. Education of Negroes. On the fifteenth of this month Dr. C..G. Woodson, of the M Street High School, delivered before the Faculty of Howard University an unusually instructive lecture on the “Early His tory of the Education of Negroes.” The discourse was a brief but schol- arly survey of this field in which he hhas been making researches during the last two years. Dr. Woodson is sending to press this ‘year a volume in which he has traced the develop- ment of the education of Negroes from the time of their enslavement by the first European settlers to the outbreak of the Civil War. He has madera large collection of original |inaterial which in the organized form Jie has given it reads like beautiful romance of a people in an heroic age. Public Men Ard Things car, a couple of Dromios, carrying about a shipload of barrel-house whis- ky. doped up with cocaine, tobacco juice, and rainwater, passed, and let out the following yeil: “Rah, Rah, Rah, who are we? We'are the Fiske University.” Sure I got hot under the collar to hear old Fiske meligned by these drunken, fagged alley recruits, but I really couldn't help laughing. ‘It was sure some funny sight. T know. if Calloway, Jim Cobb, or Bud Napier, or any of those Fiske fellows who have made good and look back on old Fiske with pride, had been near they would ;have shed their coats, waded in to those doped antliracites, and possibly let out the yell: “Rah, Rah, Rah, who is I? “We're the Fiskes who beat up a drunken guy.” Sometimes I think this college yell has become a nuisance, That there clap of Howard students is the real improvement. Any time they give you the clap, it means something. and it don’t jar on your nerves. As Prof. Miller said at a meeting at Metropoli- tan Church, when Brother Bill Taft spoke, “Give him the Howard clap.” Now,talking about college yells, these colored Democrats, when they tall in private, give Woody Wilson. all Kinds of yells. They had practiced for months on an office yell, and when they woke up and found that Woody had handed Bishop Walters a spu- rious coin, they began giving the Devil University yell, and they are giving it yet. I see and hear that Charles Anderson may be retained as Collector at New York. Now there is some more smooth article. Can't loose him in né kind of weather—just naturally there with both feet all the time, in and out of season. Charley is always figuring on the next move long before he makes the first move. If he holds on it will be a dose of peperika for those anthracite Demo- ¢rats over in New York what had his place all picked out for themselves. For my part, I don’t care if, Charley holds on forever. He's just that smooth and wise that if the Prohi- tionists would elect a President, he could convince the cold water tribe that he is the onliest man to collect internal revenues. Got to hand it to that seal-brown individual for being johnny-on-the-spot seven days in a week. I saw Charley Barnes, and Charley hinted that since he could not Janda judgship, he was in favor of Judge Terrell being continued. It's funny how these anthracite Democrats, af- ter they found they could not land anybody in their kindergarten, are coming around to favor reterition of | Negro Republicans, and it’s wonder- ful to behold with what tenacity these colored Republicans hold on. "One would think every mother’s ‘son of them had voted for Woody three or | four times. R. Wordy says that Judge Terrell will be retained, and he knows Jeverything when he ‘doesn’t know | nothing. However, I sure would like |to see the old Judge hang on: The ‘| Democrats ain't got his equal, ant he's a real good sort of a fellow what ‘|Ieans a little towards everything with: -Jout committing himself to nothing jand that’s the way to play, politics ;| ‘These fellows, with a whole lot o “| conscignce, and are always-ready tc ‘J put on the gloves with a fellow o s| party what's fighting the race like Bil }|Harvard Lewis, don't get very far ,|Somebody always calls their hanc Now, if you just hold about a ful >] one of those spade fulls, some whit -|man always holds four of a kind.

To the Race Loving Womex and Men of the United States The Constitutional League of Ok- Ishoma, with Lawyer William Har- ison, of Oklahoma City, as its lead- ing anaeney. is contesting with vigor the “Jim Crow Laws” of Oklahoma. ‘He will, the last of November or the first of December, bring before the United States Supreme Court the case of McCabe et al. vs. The Atchi- son Topeka Santa Fe Ry. Co.; et al. We are informed that jurists say that the Oklahoma case is the best prepared f its kind, of any case yet put before the United States Su- preme Court, and that it will now have to meet the issue squarely. ‘There is one feature of this case that will be settled which will effect all of the Negroes in the United States, and that is the Interstate Pas- senger Law. If he succeeds it will put an tnd to all ‘Jim Crowism,’ so far as interstate passengers are con- cerned. They will not then be sub- ject to the intra-state laws ‘of ‘the South. : Hence we, hereby appeal to every liberty loving woman, man and friend of the Negro race in this country to make a contribution to the expense of fighting this tase. We think it is high time, if Negroes want liberty, they should be willing to pay some- thing towards it~ i A few race loving men and women in the Oklahoma League, led by the Rey. W. H. Jernagin, D. D.,. who is now pastor of the Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, Washington, D.C, have made great sacrifice to bring the case through lower courts to its present stage, and Mr. Harrison has practi- cally given his service for nothing; but must be rewarded. We are informed that two able Constitutional lawyers of Boston and New York will assist in this case. ‘Therefore let every one who is in- terested send at least $1.00. All contributions to be sent to Rev. W. H. Jernagin, D, D.. 420 Q Street Northwest, Washington, D. C, who will receipt you for the same.

Frizzell’s Action—But the Contest May Go On—Defeated in Attempt to Oust District Commisioner in the Lower Courts, Home Rule: Committeeman is ‘Said to Be Plan- ning an Appeal—Frizzell Not an “Interested Persen.” President Wilson's appointment of Oliver P. Newman as a commissioner of the District of Columbia was up- held yesterday by an_opinion_of Jus tice Anderson in th District Supreme Court. Cenmissione. Newman's mo- tion to quash the quo warranto pro- ceedings begun by W. J. Frizzell, as. a taxpayer, representing the “home rule committee’ of the District; was sus- tained by the court, as was the de- murrer to the petition, which was dis- missed. : ‘An appeal from the decision was noted by counsel for Mr. Frizzell. The case will be reviewed by the Court of Appeals. From that tribunal it will go to the United States Su- preme Court, it is said. a Out of the mass of argument and references offered, the court chose gwo general questions for decision. ‘The first one was: “Is the relator an ‘interested person’ within the mean- ing of the code, and therefore entitled to maintain this proceeding?” The } second was:“*Has the court the power to review the action of the President | of the United States and of the Senate | in appointing and confirming the. re- '| spondent to the office of commission- er of the District of Columbia, and ‘lis their action binding upon the | court?” President Bound by Law. i] To the first’ question the court an- ;| swered “no,” supporting the finding | xwith various rulings of other tribu- | nals. -| "Answering the other question, the 1) court upheld one clairh made by coun- ‘sel for Mr. Frizzell, that the Presi- 1] Gent is not above the law.

On the 25th instant an informal luncheon in honor of Editor W. Monroe Trotter, of Boston, and the men who were in the city to present to the President the anti-segregation petition and protest. The special guests besides Mr. Trotter were Rev. Byron Gunner, of Hillburn, N. Y., who is president of the National Independent Political League, and Dr. Wm. A. Sinclair, of Philadelphia, representing the "Constitution League. Each of the guests made a short address. Several of the local men spoke briefly, including Attorney Thomas Walker, Rev. J. M. Waldron, Judge E. M. Hewlett, Lieut. Thos. H. R. Clarke, Robert L. Pendleton, John H. Poynter, Geo. W. Jackson, Attorney Jas. L. Neill, and F. H. M. Murray, who presided. Mr. Trotter described at length the work of the League during the last campaign, explaining the reasons why the league espoused the candi- dacy of Mr. Wilson for the presidency, and he gave a detailed account of a visit of a committee from the league with other colored men to Mr. Wilson during the campaign and the assurances which Mr. Wilson gave of just and equitable treatment of colored people in the event of his election. Mr. Trotter scored the unexpected and unparalleled extension of segregation in the government service here and pointed out its harmful effects, and the evils which would follow in its train if unchecked: He made a strong appeal for the support of the organization which have espoused the race's struggle for equal rights and opportunities, and especially urged that a national organization distinctively of the race, or at least controlled by colored persons, must be maintained in order to demonstrate the race's willingness and ability to organize and fight for itself and thereby its equality, rather than inferiority as compared with other racial classes. While he expressed disappointment, and chagrin at the apparent endorsement of the segregation principles by the present administration, he counseled suspension of final judgment until an effort can be made to show to the powers that he how alarming and hateful race segregation is to our people. He called attention to the prompt and widespread indorsement that the protest petition had received all over the country—nearly six thousand names being attached to the petitions which his committee bear—while it is believed that many hundreds if not thousands of names were on other petitions of like tenor which had been sent by various race papers and persons direct to the White House. He pointed out the distinct advantage that lay in the fact that a large number of colored voters had supported Mr. Wilson and many friendly Democratic candidates for Congress, holding that but for the fact our situation now would be deplorable indeed. President. Gunner's brief address was devoted mainly to a history of the National Independent Political League and a justification of its course in the last two national campaigns. The other speakers devoted themselves chiefly to appeals for a united stand against the present segregation and curtailment of rights. The affair was under the following committee: P. H. M. Murray, chairman; Maurice W. Spencer, Thomas Walker, Thos. A. Johnson, E. M. Hewlatt, Jas. L. Neill and Jos. H. Stewart. It was long after midnight when the company adjourned. Golden Wedding Anniversary. The golden wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Mathews was celebrated Wednesday evening, October 22, at their residence, 525 T Street Hill, Anacostia. With seven children—Mrs. Preston C Stowe and Mrs. Harry Williams, of Philadelphia, Mrs. Clarence Gray, Mrs. George Moore, Messrs. Henry, Jr., Harry and William Mathews—and other relatives and friends, the evening was spent most delightfully. The home was beautifully and tastefully decorated for the occasion with palms, ferns, yellow chrysanthemums and autumn leaves. After the ceremony the guests were invited into the dining room, where a sumptuous spread awaited them. The wedding cake, with its fifty lighted candles, added much to the already prettily decorated table. The fortunate couple received many handsome, useful, as well as ornamental presents and letters of congratulation from their hosts of friends in and out of this city. WEST WASHINGTON.

Hon. Charles O. Harris Dead. The Honorable Charles O. Harris, of Montgomery, Ala., departed this life a few days ago. He was one of the oldest and most highly respected citizens of Montgomery, Ala. He was the chief clerk of the Mailing Division of the City Postoffice there. He was ever ready to aid any young man who was ambitious to go forward in life. It was he who introduced us to Federal officials, and as a result we find ourselves enjoying many opportunities which may not have come to us had it not been for "Col. Harris" as we call him. The Top Notch Reacher In a service of song by the choir of the Fairmount Heights Presbyterian Church Sunday night. October 19, the pastor, Rev. Wm. Wallace McCary and the members of the choir as well as other excellent talent, deserve great credit for the great success attained. The following program was rendered: 1. Processional, choir; 2. Invocation, Rev. W. W. McCary; 3. Anthem, "All Hail the Power," choir; 4. Piano Solo, Miss Mary L. Europe; 5. Reading, Mrs. Emma Lee Williams; 6. Anthem, "Son of My Soul," choir; 7. Violin Solo, Dr. J. A. Porter, accompanied by Miss Bertelle Boozer; 8. Anthem, "The Lord is King"; 9. Solo, Dr. J. E. Rattley; 10. Anthem, "Gloria." This was, undoubtedly, one of the best programs ever rendered here. The reading of Mrs. Emma Lee Williams and the anthem "Gloria." Mozart, were exceptionally high class. They showed thorough training and culture. On the account of the bad weather Hon. W. Calvin Chase, Miss Annie Murdock and Miss Gregoria Fraser failed to put in their appearance. Rev. Wm. Wallace McCary, the pastor, is laboring incessantly to expand and upbuild the work of the church. The people have full confidence in his leadership and he is, sure to succeed. Revival services at the M. E. Church began Sunday night, October 19. Rev. Owen C. Sprague, the pastor, preached the opening sermon. It is said that the sermon was the most excellent preached during his pastorate here. The outlook seems to be bright, notwithstanding the unsettled weather. The third quarterly conference of the M. E. Church was announced to be held November 13. Rev. W. A. C. Hughes is the district superintendent. Insurance Paid In Full There was a misunderstanding between Mrs. Amelia Medley, the widow of Mr. John W. Medley, and Mr. Harry Yager, the agent of the Home Friendly Society, of Baltimore, respecting the settlement of the insurance. The misunderstanding was due to the fact that there was a discrepancy between statements as to the age of Mr. John W. Medley, deceased. In one of the records the age was stated as 50 years. In another the age was stated as 40 years. According to the rate if the age was 40 years, then the amount of the insurance should be one hundred and twenty-five dollars; if the age was 50 years, then the amount of the insurance should be seventy-five dollars. Until the question could be settled at the home office Mr. Harry Yager settled as of the age of 50 years. Thereby turning over to Mrs. Amelia Medley the sum of seventy-five dollars; but when Mr. James F. Armstrong was called into the case he saw the insurance agents; they went over the case and satisfactory adjustments were had; and Harry Yager, the agent turned over to Mr. Armstrong the balance of fifty ($50) dollars, which was due the beneficiary. There are many men in the world who believe authority means oppression. We believe it is far better to exercise authority or rule by love and respect than by fear or domineering. Much more may be accomplished by a reasonably fair treatment of subordinates than by standing up over them as it were with the big stick. If you don't believe what we say just try it.

USED SKINS AS HIS RAIMENT Had Lost Thirty Pounds, but Is Well. Lonesomeness of the Forest One of the Worst Features and Nearly Drove Him Mad—Had No Food and Lived on Animals He Killed and Berries. Boston.—Joseph Knowles, the Boston artist, after a two months' fight for existence in the forests of Malne, is back in civilization. Clad in rudely dressed skins of black bear and deer and carrying in a pack on his back a fire machine and other tools he had fashioned to aid him in living in a primitive way, Knowles looked like a cave man. Thus ended a test of hardlhood and endurance, of skill in conquering a hostile environment. On Aug. 4 Knowles plunged into the forests near Spencer lake, in Somerset county, Me. He was naked. He had no weapons, no tools or implements of any kind, no food. He promised to come out of the woods fully clad and in good health and physical condition. He has kept his promise in every detail. He lost thirty pounds of weight in the two months, dropping from 204 pounds to 174. His appearance clearly told the tale of the hardships he has undergone. From head to heel he was scratched and bruised by the briars and underbrush in which he lived for sixty days. He is tanned almost black. Over his neck and arms was a black bear skin, cleverly fastened with thongs of deerskin. His trousers were of deerskin, made Indian fashion, with the hair inside. His feet were incased in moccasins of buckskin, sewed with sinew. He wore no hat, no sleeves, no underwear. On his back was a knapsack of woven bark. It was filled with trophies from the forest. Slung over his arm were his bows and arrows. Sheathed in buckskin a crude knife of horn hung from his belt. "My food largely consisted of fish, deer meat, bear meat, spruce partridges and berries," said Knowles. I found blueberries in the burnt lands. I am feeling in fine condition. I do not believe every man can do what I have done, but I feel confident that a man with good health, a knowledge of the woods and resourcefulness can accomplish the same thing. I believe any one of the game wardens could do it. I have satisfied a curiosity. "The hardest thing of all was the awful lonesomeness, because of which I came near coming out twice. The isolation almost drove me crazy. Several times I have heard volces afar off and that made it only the harder. "The eating question is nothing; neither is the dress. I have not suffered any to speak of from the cold. It was that awful lonesomeness. "For the last ten days I did little. Up to that time I constantly aspired to accomplish something, but my ambition left me. During the last ten days I believe I gained ten pounds because of this. "On my trip, up to Canada I simply used the moss on the north side of the trees to guide me. I started on this march to Canada the day after I waved the torch on the shore of King and Bartlett lake. When I got out I was not sure whether it was Saturday or Sunday. It was a pretty rough country, but my trip was largely down hill all the way." "I came through the deepest forest because I did not dare to strike the roads, for fear of being seen before time. Then from up in the mountains I heard a wonderful thing. I heard the whistle of a train. I pressed toward it and finally came on the railroad tracks." When questioned about salt, he said he missed it very much for the first few weeks, but after that he never thought about it. When asked what he would have to eat he ordered fried salt pork and potatoes. CENSUS OF EMPLOYEES. Postoffice the Largest Business Department of the Government. Washington.—Approximately one in every 400 inhabitants of the United States is employed by the postal service. Tabulations, by the postoffice department show that on June 30 last there were 58,021 postmasters, 115,415 assistant postmasters and postoffice clerks, 1,454 watchmen, messengers and laborers and 30,920 city letter carriers. Other employees—rallway and mail clerks, rural carriers and department employees—make the total number about a quarter of a million. This makes the postoffice department the largest business department of the government. More Pay. Less Work Time. Washington.-A report just issued by the United States bureau of labor statistics on wages and work hours in the cotton, woolen and silk industries, which employ 371,000,163,000 and 99.000 persons, respectively, shows that between 1890 and 1912 wages largely rose while working hours declined. VIENNA NEWS NOTES. The first Friday afternoon public exercises by pupils of the public schools were given the last half hour of the day's session on October 10. The exercises were conducted by members of the advanced class and consisted in singing and speech-making by the young folks. Among the parents and friends who were invited and attended were Mrs. William A. West and Mrs. Marshall Patterson, interest being shown also by Mrs. C. B. Thomas and Mrs. Gertrude Harris. The next occasion will be October 24, when it is to be hoped more parents and friends will be present. Through this medium school and patrons may be brought together and real interest in education kept alive. On Sunday, October 12, the Sons and Daughters of Liberty, Morning Star Lodge No. 9, had their anniversary sermon preached at the First Baptist Church here by Rev. Miner, of Tennalytown, who came as a substitute for his pastor, Rev. W. A. Jones. The occasion was a very pleasant one. Rev. Miner satisfied his people and a collection of $8.10 was raised by congregation and lodge. Rev. J. N. Beaman, pastor of Union Baptist Church, was also present and in the pulpit with Rev. Miner. The villagers attended in good numbers and friends and members from other points were also present, among whom may be mentioned Mr. Roy, of Leesburg, Va., Deacon Coates, of Merrifield, Mrs. Jackson, of Washington, D. C., and others whose names we failed to get. Rev. Beaman held communion services at his church Sunday. The congregation of this church is preparing for further improvement of its church home. The pastor preached strong and forceful sermons during the day and night services. Mrs. Lyfus Jackson, Jr., who has been quite ill during the past week, is much better now, to the delight of her friends. At the anniversary celebration on Sunday last Prof. H. L. Mills gave a short talk on the history, object and present condition of the lodge. He is one of the strong leaders in this order. Miss Nannie, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Miner, and Mrs. Jackson came out from the city at guests of Miss Miner's pa. Nannie returned to the ci. evening and Mrs. Jackson day evening. FAIRFAX NOTES.

Court Officers Overburdened, Says Judge Latimer—Each Guards 150 Children—Arrest Only in Extreme Cases, Head of Juvenile Tribunal Urges — Parents Should Instruct Boys and Girls at Home in Police Regulations, He Points Out—Similar Service should be Performed in Schools—Many Beneficial Changes Have Been Made Effective Under His Regime. Inability of the probation officers assigned to juvenile court to investigate properly al cases assigned to them, because of the great number of boys and girls under their guidance, has caused Judge J. Wilmer Latimer, of the juvenile court, to make an appeal for a larger appropriation in order that more probation officers may be appointed to keep children from arrest and trial. Suggestion is made by Judge Latimer that the police regulations and laws of the District be taught the children by their school teachers, by their parents, and by the policemen in order that they may realize laws exist which prohibit amusement and play in some places. By this means it is hoped to reduce the number of arrests of children. Arrest a Last Resort. No boy or girl ought to be arrested and sent to a police station unless it is absolutely impossible for the policeman to insure the offender's appearance in juvenile court without such action, according to Judge Latimer. Because the minor violations of law are usually caused in a spirit of fun, the judge says he believes the children ought not be humiliated by a ride to the police station in the same manner as thieves and thugs. "The probation work of the juvenile court is of the greatest importance, and we are so handicapped with such a small corps of workers that it is hopeless to undertake the work properly," said Judge Latimer. "If the juvenile court is to do the important work for which it was created, it is imperative that the probation office be properly equipped, and that sufficient trained officers be provided. At present there are but three probation officers, who must, in addition to the work with the children, keep all of the records of the office and make the preliminary investigation in all of the children's cases. Must Guard 150 Children Each. "During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1913, there were approximately 450 children always on probation. That was an average allowance of 150 children for each probation officer. What father or mother in Washington could care properly for a family of 150 children and keep them away from bad companions and evil influences? Yet that is practically the work of the probation officers. Some children need little watching, while others must be visited frequently. National Religious Training Schoo The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text or details. It appears to be a grayscale photograph of a building with a flat roof and a large window. The sky is overcast, and the ground is covered with snow or ice. There are no discernible features that can be clearly identified. Offers superior advantages for the training of young men and women in many departments of work. The following Departments are in successful operation. 1. Department of Religious Training. This department is intended especially for the training of Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. Secretaries. Settlement workers, Deaconesses, and for Home and Foreign Missionaries. 2. Department of Theology. 3. Commercial Department. 4. Literary Department. 5. Department of Music. "Experience has demonstrated that one officer cannot hope to get satisfactory results where the number of children under his supervision exceeds 50. In Louisville, Brooklyn, and Cleveland, for example, where the average number on probation is 400, they have 7, 8, and 12 probation officers, respectively, or, in Louisville, 1 probation officer to each 57 children; in Brooklyn, 1 to each 50 children, and in Cleveland, 1 to each 34 children. "I do not believe boys or girls should be arrested unless it is impossible for the policeman to obtain their appearance in juvenile court with a summons or notice. The ex- es, would be when serious of are committed. If a child is one of many police regula- the patrolman ought to instruct if the law governing the viola- and explain why the law is made the convenience of society or for safety of persons. If the offense ought to the attention of the parents. The fathers and mothers could do much for their children if they gave them a course of instruction on the police regulations, explaining that in a thickly populated community certain things may not be done by lively youngsters that may be done in the country. Appearance by Summons. "If the parents are unable to make the child obey the laws the boy or girl should be brought into court, not by the police patrol and station cell route, but with a summons to appear on the day assigned to such cases in juvenile court. "But I believe that if the laws and police regulations are thoroughly explained to the boys and girls, with the reasons for their existence on the statute books, they will realize that these laws are not made to harass them, but are provided so people may live in comfort in a large city. They realize that the individual must give up something in the city. "The boys appear to have a tradition handed down from one generation to the other that the policemen are their enemies. I try to explain to the boys that the policeman is ready to be their friend. There is not one in 200 policemen who would not be the friend of the boys if they gave him the chance." "Different treatment must be used with the boys than with the men. With the boys there is a greater chance for reformation. The work of the juvenile court is not to seek retribution for violation of laws, but to correct the children who have been arrested and save others from a like fate. "Perhaps it might be a good idea for the teachers in the public schools to devote some time each week to an explanation of the laws of the District, making clear the reasons for each law in order that the boys and girls will be able to understand why they must not play ball in the street or indulge in other forms of play that would not bring any objections if in their proper places." Many Beneficial Changes. Many Beneficial Changes. Since Judge Latimer has taken up the work in juvenile court numerous changes have been made for the benefit of the children. The adult and minor cases have been separated. On Wondays and Thursdays the adult cases are tried in the courtroom. On Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays the children appear, but their trials are held in the more agreeable atmosphere of the judge's chambers. Here the children may look from the judge's window on festivities of the children in the Gallinger playground in the rear of the juvenile court and be in a more harmonious mood for conversation. The children are alone with the judge, clerk, and witnesses, and appear more free in conversation than when confronted by scores of staring faces as in the old courtroom. One of the important changes made by Judge Latimer was the shift of reporting headquarters of the probation office from the juvenile court building to schools and settlement houses. The judge believes the children will have more respect for juvenile court if they do not become too familiar with it on frequent visits to report, to the probation officers. In the southwest section the children report at settlement houses, bringing them into the habit of visiting these places. Judge Latimer says much good would be accomplished if the children could report at settlement houses in all parts of the city. THE NATIONAL RELIGIOUS TRAINING SCHOOL House & Herrmann 7th and Eye Sts., N. W of all kinds and description, House and Herrmann is the place to visit. There is no other house of its kind in the city where the people can be satisfied. This is house that will satisfy you. TENTH CAVALRY RECEPTION. All Bills Paid and Surplus Turned Over to Charity—Chairman Does Good Work. Washington, D. C., Oct. 15, 1913. Editor The Bee: Please permit me through the columns of your paper to express our sincere thanks to the forty-seven gentlemen, assisted by an auxiliary committee of thirty-nine ladies, and the Florida Avenue Baptist Church, Metropolitan Baptist Church, Third Baptist Church and the Plymouth Congregational Church for their contribution and moral support to the reception given in honor of the Tenth United States Cavalry in Convention Hall on October 7, and to the Home Ice Cream Company, the Velvet Kind Ice Cream Company, Cobbs' Bakery for contributions through Dr. C.

Chamberlain, chairman of the Senate Committee on Military Affairs, that our committee was permitted to present its request to the Honorable Secretary of War, and Major General Woods. The Executive Committee at its meeting last Saturday night was able, through its efficient secretary and treasurer, Dr. John C. Norwood, who had charge of its finances, to satisfactorily settle all its obligations, and devote its surplus to the Home for Friendless Girls. Dr. Norwood and B. W. Kenney were the first to assist in our effort to see the Secretary of War, the vice presidents and Executive committee, Dr. C. W. Childs, Hon. J. C. Napier, Col. Arthur Brooks, Major J. E.

Philadelphia—If they only knew, schoolboys would not consider school time- tasks so onerous in view of the iscorery of lessous 4200 years old inscribed on a clay by Professor Lang- Gon of Jesus college, Oxford university, _who Is at the University of Pennss!- vanla for a time. It is estimated that about two auto- mobile trucks would be required to catry enouzh lessons to bother a school boy of that period for a day. It was on one of the famous Nippur tablets that the professor discovered that bard luck for youthful persons was known 80 many Years ago. Such cruclties as grammar, geosraphy, arithmetic, gco- logy and kinded annoyances were re- corded on the tablets. Some of the lessons are remarkable. ‘Tho multiplication tables in plain num- erals show that three times one are three, that five times one are fire. and so on in a decimal system that is un- denlably perfect. On one tablet the schoolboy lad received a lesson in phonetics for writin~ purposes. ‘This fs very important. 1% xenerally con- sidered that the alpiae'c is one of the greatest inventions of the human mind, but it was evolved long after the Nip- pur period.

Numbers 20:1-43—Oct, 26, “Let the words of my mouth, and the medita~ ton of my heart, de acceptable in Thy aight, 0 Lord, my Strength, ond my Redeemer.!’— * Psalm 29:14. OR thirty-eight years the Israel- ites resided In the wilderness, making Kadesh-Barnea thelr camp center, but occupying a considerable- portion of the wilderness with thelr flocks and herds. In April of the fortieth year affer leaving Egypt, by Divine command through ‘Moses, they assembled at Kadesh, pre- pared to enter the Land of Promise. But the water supply was scant. ‘Murmurings arose, and inquiries wheth- er it were not as well to have perished in Egypt or elsewhere as to perish there from thirst. Moses and Aaron went to the Lord with the matter, desiring Divine guidance, “The glory of the Lord appeared un- to them.” This glory Is surmised to have been a ray of light emanating from the Merey Seat In the Most Holy. They were ce ee ee coe wits “2§$ ERE <2" Rea x h\y Ng Je aah from the Mercy MAY Seat In the Most CEP Holy. They were Instructed to take Aoses Views the Land. tho rod, presumably “Aaron's rod that wifdded,” and that was kept in the Ark in the Most Holy. That rod would remind the people of the Lord's special acceptance of Aaron as the high priest and Moses’ assistant. It would be a sign to them of the Divine favor which hitherto had guided them, and which would continue to guide all who trust- ed in the Lord. Smiting the Rock a Sin. The Lord partleularly directed that Moses should speak to the rock, and that th response waters would gush forth. About thirty-efght years before, in a similar experience near Mt. Sinal, Moses had been Instructed to smite the rock; but {n this case the rock was not to be smitten, Tiere Moses and Anron alnned. “The meekest ian in all the earth" forgot himself, and allowed a spirit some- what akin to pride, self-suflicieney and anger to control him for the moment. Smiting the rock, he cried to the peo- ple, “Ye rebels, must I bring you water out of the rock?" ‘The water Indeed came forth, as the Lord had promised. Tho people in- deed got the blessing needed, but one of the most illustrious servants of God there fell under Diving disapprobation. The Lord's decree was that neither Moses nor ils brother, should enter Canaan, Moses, however, was permit- ted to go with the people to the end of the fourrey, and then from Mt. Nebo to see the promised Land of Canaan, This condemnation does not signity Divine reprobation to eternal torment or to any lasting dishonor. Moses got his entire punislmént then and there, before death, us do all of God's saintly ones, Whatever stripes, chastisements, punishments, of the future, shall be Imefed out to mankind in general be- cause of wrongdoings in the present life, there are none reserved for the saints, The Apostle | explains that they are chastened now that they may not come into condemnation: with the world. * They Drank of the Rock—Christ. St. Paul points out that the smiting of the rock was symbolfeal. As: the manna typlticd Jesus, so did the smit- ten rock also. The refreshing water from the rock symbolized the blessings flowing from Christ's sacrifice. The smiting of the rock at the beginning of Israel's experiences was authorized of God. It was necessary that upon Jesus should fall the rod of afiiietion, even unto death.—Isalah 53:5, 6. Just what was symbolized by the second smiting, which God did not av- thorize, is not explained by St. Paul. ‘The fact that {t was punished indicates that It was wrong, and that tt symbol izes some improper course on the part | ‘of the professed people of God. Tro suggestions come to us, elther or both of which may be applicable: | (1) A smiting of the Body of Christ | in the end of this Age; (@) A repudiation of Christ on the .part of those who once have been en- lightened. Edomites, Moabites, Midianites. ‘When the time came for entering Ca- naan from Kadesh, the nearest route was through Edom, When Israel ask- ed permission to cross Edom, It was refused.

Throughout the Camp went messages, directing the people to look to the brazen serpent and be healed. ‘Thus a lesson was written for Splrit- ual Isracl. The fiery serpent of sin has bitten mankind.

We are indeed advancing in various lines of civilization and congratulate ourselves to report that we have located among us persons of our own race filled with the dignity of race pride, and have influence qualified to secure the willing service and presence of the most distinguished men of the time. These facts were demonstrated here Thursday evening, when, under the direction of Prof. L. C. Baltimore, principal of the Summer School, and the assistants, Miss Beatrice Thomas and Miss Emma Holmes, a program was arranged, with Mr. L. C. Baltimore master of ceremonies. A Committee of Arrangements was formed, with Mrs. Ella Bryant, chairman; Mrs. Maggie Morten, secretary; Mrs. Carrie Carrington, treasurer. Proceeds for the Industrial Department and Piano Fund. Introduction, by Mr. Baltimore. Invocation, Rev. C. E. Queene, pastor Methodist Church. Solo by Mrs. V. Points. Instrumental solo, by Mrs. Lillian Hicks. Prof. James L. Thomas, of Howard University, was then introduced and addressed on lines of unlimited, education, mental, moral and physical, thus subjecting parents to feel their responsibility to an increasing degree. Mr. William Scott rendered a very impressive solo. Prof. W. T. Hodges, Superintendent of Public Schools, was present and introduced as orator of the evening and center attraction of the occasion. A staunch friend of the colored people, whose loyalty as such is indisputable in the person of Senator Moses E. Clapp, of United States Senate, who was received with great applause. He calmly arose, and with firm and steady voice addressed the assembly in a very complimentary manner. He evidently reviewed the circumstances surrounding us and in a sympathetic and pleasing but sincere manner urged that we grasp every opportunity presented, regardless of opposition, and as individuals strive to elevate ourselves to the proper standard, having implicit confidence in Him Who controls all nature and some day we will be enabled to understand. The school house was beautifully decorated. Prof. Lodders made a few spicy remarks, with applause, and solicited for the Piano Fund. Mr. J. T. Bryant made the closing remarks, offering a rising vote of thanks to Senator Clapp, Prof. Thomas and other distinguished persons for services rendered. This was unanimous. Owing to Sunday being rainy, very little was done among the churches here. Miss Viola Hyson is suffering from a fall which fractured her arm. She is under the care of Dr. E. T. Morten. Mr. Hungerford is improving slowly. The day school enrollment is gradually increasing under management of Mr. Baltimore, principal. St. Lukes Celebrate. John T. Johnson council, No. 789, I. O. St. Luke, entertained members and friends Tuesday night last at the residence of their degree chief, Mrs. Florence R. Wilson, 1726 Fourth Street Northwest. The home was beautifully decorated with pot and cut flowers, and amid the glare of bright lights and perfume of roses hearts were made glad. This was the third anniversary of the council—it being a custom to celebrate once a year. The special guests of the evening were Rev. and Mrs. T. J. Brown, Rev. and Mrs. A. C. Garner, Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Barnett, Atty. and Mrs. James H. Hayes, Mr. and Mrs. L. G. Fletcher, Mr. and Mrs. T. E. Barton, Sr., Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Anderson, and others. The council officers and members gave their best to make this very splendid reunion one to be remembered. A sumptuous supper was served, after which the hostess, Mrs. Wilson, introduced Mrs. B. B. Anderson, as State Deputy of the order, Rev. A. C. Garner, District Deputy, and Mrs. Julia H. Hayes, associate deputy. An invitation was extended Dr. and Mrs. Brown to join the order. Fine music was furnished by the two accomplished daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Wilson, together with other young people present. Much credit is due the officers and members of John T. Johnson Council for the love and harmony that prevails among them. MISS TOLIVER'S WORK. Young Men's Class Organized. The superintendent of the Florida Avenue Baptist Sunday School, Miss R. E. Toliver, one of Washington's most proficient public school teachers and one of the finest Sunday School superintendents in this country today, has instituted a young men's class in her school with Mr. W. E. Ricks, a senior college man of Howard University, and also a special student in theology in the same institution, as its teacher. Mr. Ricks speaks fluently, is a good mixer, and is adopted to the work of teaching. The class was organized Sunday, October 12, with fifteen young men, a majority of whom are students at Howard. It is the purpose of Mr. Ricks to make his class one of the greatest in existence today. This Sunday school feels very proud that it has been able to attract so many of the Howard students. There are four on the regular teachers' roll, namely, Messrs. W. E. Ricks, Grimes, Misses Oretta Desmukes and Virginia Scott, and a number act as substitutes. Rev. W. A. Taylor, D. D., unlike most city pastors is one of the most active teachers in the Sunday School. He attends all teachers' meetings, and is present every Sunday morning at 9:30 A. M., the opening hour of the school. Bethel Literary. At the Bethel Historical and Literary Association, Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, of this city, Mr. Archibald H. Grimke delivered a patriotic and scholarly address to a large and appreciative audience of friends and members of the Society Tuesday evening, October 14, on the subject of "Ambitions and Ideals of the American Negro." In the course of his speech he abundantly-proved that the ambitions and ideals of the American Negro were purely American. He reinforced his argument by copious quotations from the Constitution of the United States and from Shakespeare, to the effect that every man in any State should be left to find his own level in State and in society; otherwise he would be robbed of inherent rights that make for the betterment of human society everywhere. ALLEN C. E. NOTES. The Allen Y. P. S. C. E. met at 6 p. m. at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church and held an enthusiastic meeting. Devotional exercises were led by Mr. Jesse Simms, chairman of the Sunday School Committee. The principal speaker of the meeting was Dr. I. N. Ross, pastor of the church. The topic was "How to Make This the Best Year in Our Society's History." Rev. Ross pointed out that three things are necessary to succeed; first, machinery organization, the instrument with which to work; second, inspiration, enthusiasm, without which machinery is dead; and third, ideas, without which both machinery and inspiration make only erratic and ineffectual movements." Analyzing the Scripture passage he emphasized (1) consecration, (2) sacrifice, (3) personal experience, (4) the devotional spirit, (5) the imitation of Christ; (6) the spur to new endeavor, (7) concentration, (8) the pull of the future and finally the prize (I press toward the mark). After a solo sweetly rendered by Mr. J. Dewitt Wilson, the members discussed the topic and each one promised to do his best to make Metropolitan second to none in this country. In a short review the president, Miss Anna Payne, tried to impress upon each member of the society that on him depended the victory. DR.

Citizens Honor J. C. Napier and Wife. Nashville, Tenn., Oct. 15. An early morning surprise in the way of a demonstration was pulled off this morning when the colored citizens of Nashville, heralded by a committee of citizens and led by a brass band, gave a reception to J. C. Napier, ex-United States Register, and his wife. They met the train at 6:15 o'clock that came in from Washington, and under the leadership of a committee consisting of Rev. R. H Boyd, ex-Councilman S. P. Harris, Rev. C. J. H. Clark, Professor J. D. Crenshaw, Dr. J. B. Singleton, Henry A. Boyd, C. N. Langston, Dr. J. A. Napier, Rev. N. H. Pius Rev. W. S. Ellington and Dr. J. T. Phillips, augmented by a special committee of women who met Mrs. Napier, they formed a parade, and, under the escort of a mounted officer of their own choosing, in the person of Capt. J. H. Kelly, the parade, consisting of automobiles and open carriages that was about three blocks long, traversed the principal streets of the city. It was a big send-off for the retiring Register of the Treasury, who has only recently resigned his position. The fact that he is a Republican and that he has lived in Nashville all of his life, being well known and respected by both races, made the ovation all the more creditable. It is said that he will resume his law practice in the city here and will continue his connection as cashier of the One-Cent Savings Bank. MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.

The phrase "a man of straw" had its origin in England at a time when men might easily be procured to furnish evidence upon oath in almost any emergency. It appears that persons of this description were accustomed to walk openly in. Westminster hall with a straw projecting from their shoes, thus signifying that they sought employment as witnesses; hence the expression. An advocate who desired a convenient witness knew by this sign where to find one, and the colloquy between the two was brief. "Don't you remember?" the advocate would ask. The party would glance at the fee and give no sign, but when the fee was increased his powers of memory increased with it, and straw shoes went into court and swore as Jeansd. Boston Herald.
