The first address was a greeting by Miss Della E. Harris, who had a most excellent delivery. She reviewed the work of the pastor and showed how dearly he was loved by his people. She gave a brief history of what he had accomplished during the one year he has been pastor of Mt. Carmel Baptist Church. At the conclusion of her most eloquent and timely address, she was loudly applauded. Rev. J. A. Brown, D. D., represented the Baptist Ministers' Union. His address was logical, pointed and timely. The press was represented by Mr. W. Calvin Chase, editor of The Bee. He was most entertaining and throughout he had his audience in a roar of laughter. Dr. Charles H. Marshall, a member of the Board of Education, represented the medical profession. Dr. Marshall is always entertaining. He was greeted with applause at the conclusion of his short address. Mr. John W. Lewis, president of the Laborer's and Mechanic's bank, is always logical, pointed and sensible in his talks. His advice to the people was most timely and sensible. He advocated union and cooperation among his people. Rev. James C. Van Loo was positive in his declarations. He paid a most eloquent tribute to Rev. Jernagin, and of his value to the community. Mr. S. W. Rutherford, president of the great National Benefit Association, was the next speaker. He also paid the pastor a deserving compli- Mr. Bruce, the assistant superintendent of the public schools delivered one of the most interesting speeches of the evening. He is one of the most polished speakers in this country. His compliment to Rev. Jernagin was greeted with hearty applause. He spoke of the relation of the schools to the church, and of the teachers and the ministry. Recorder H. L. Johnson was the next speaker. He brought greetings from his pastor at home to Rev. Jernagin. He took for his subject the "Country at Large." No man has a better knowledge of men and measures than the well known orator, lawyer and politician. He electrified his audience, and assured Rev. Jernigan that the people would come to his assistance, and when he entered his new church it would be christened indeed with pure religion. Attorney W. L. Houston represented the bar. His address was loudly applauded. At the conclusion of the speech making a personal and liberal collection was taken up for the pastor, after which the invited guests, which were fully 500, including the members of the church, everybody repaired to the lecture room below in three sections. The first contained Rev. Jernigan and his wife and four daughters, Misses Lottie R., Rosabel, Mattie C., and Gertrude E. Jernigan, the speakers and about 125 others. After this section was served 125 more repaired to the reception room, followed by 127 or 130 additional. Rev. W. D. Jarvis, one of the most eloquent ministers in the Baptist connection, acted as toastmaster. He introduced about ten persons, who happily responded. Among whom were Rev. Best, Rev. Gordon, Dr. Drew, Mr. McGowan, Rev. Burke and others. Never in the history of Mt. Carmel Church has such an array of brilliant men assembled. The Bee was represented by two of its female staff.

He has the confidence, love and respect of his entire membership. COMMITTEE Of Colored Men Sees President Wilson and Protests Against Race Segregation. A delegation of colored citizens representing the National Independent Political League, bearing a protest and petition directed against race segregation in the government service, visited the President on Thursday, and had an audience with him. The petition bore about twenty thousand signatures, from 38 States, mostly colored people, about equally divided between the South and the North. The delegation was introduced by Congressman Thatcher, of Massachusetts. The delegation was composed of W.-Monroe Trotter of Boston, Rev. Dr. Byron Gunner of Hillburn, N.Y., President of the League, Dr. William A. Sinclair, of Philadelphia, W. Maurice Spencer of Delaware, Thomas Walker, of District of Columbia, F. H. M. Murray, of Virginia, and Mrs. Ida Wells Barnett of Chicago. W. Monroe Trotter, editor of The Boston Guardian, was spokesman. He made an extended statement and gave instances of discrimination which had been discovered and insisted that these were calculated to "humiliate and degrade our race and bring it into scorn and contempt," and that it was all the worse since it is being done under authority of the National Government. The President was impressed by the protest and commented on its strength and stated that it was deserving of, and should receive, care- REH W. M. HURVACIN, D. D. ful consideration. The delegation said that the President seemed at first inclined to doubt if the matters complained of had any official sanction. But he was handed a copy of an order issued by the auditor for the Interior Department which explicitly ordered separation on account of color in lavatories. Other orders of similar import which had been issued in other bureaus were embodied in the matter left with the President. He then stated that perhaps he was not well posted on the matter. He said that he would go into the matter thoroughly and would endeavor to find a solution satisfactory to all concerned, and gave assurance that segregation had not been decided upon as an administration policy. In their protest the spokesman of the delegation insisted that it was the principle of segregation that was objected to and not the manner in which it was administered. He quoted a letter written by Mr. Wilson before election as follows: "It is my earnest wish to see justice done colored people in every matter, and not more grudging justice, but justice executed with liberality and cordial good feeling. Every principle of our Constitution commands this, and our sympathies should also make it easy." Commenting on this the petitioners said to the President: "Fairer words were never written and their readers could not possibly have expected their author to countenance the institution of any new policy in his own branch of the Government, now admittedly based on racial prejudice, against them; a policy of caste which no president would dare even hint for citizens of any of the many other racial extractions which make up our heterogeneous population." The petitioners laid particular stress upon the order of Secretary McAdoo requiring separate eating tables, and on the segregation in the auditor's rooms of the Postoffice Department, the Navy, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, and elsewhere. "Necessity," says the petition, "can not be pleaded as an excuse for this affront and injury. Afro-American and other American employees have been working together, eating at the same tables, and using the same lavatories and toilets for two generations. They have worked in peace and harmony and the Government's business has been well executed. Some of. the very Afro-American clerks taken from rooms where Americans of other ancestries worked, or from seats in juxtaposition thereto, have worked for twenty-five and thirty years. They did so through two Democratic Administrations. These Democratic Administrations were nearer the abolition of slavery. of Africans than yours, Mr. President. The same efforts to inaugurate this segregation in Government service were made under your illustrious predecessor, the late President Grover Cleveland, and were stopped by his order, as we trust they will be in short order by yourself." At a mass meeting under the auspices of the League on Friday night, which packed the large Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, the delegation made a full report. At this meeting it was urged that the sending in of signed petitions be continued. It was also advised that letters of protest be sent to Congressmen and Senators by colored citizens everywhere. A resolution was presented. A resolution was unanimously adopted as follows: WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO SPEND Thanksgiving Afternoon? of course, at the HOWARD-LINCOLN Foot-Ball Game Howard Campus Gates open 1 o'clock Game called 2:30 ADMISSION 50 CENTS Whereas, Representative Jas. B. Aswell, of Louisiana has seen fit in a recent speech to make statements which indicate that he believes that the education of colored youth should be limited to the "industrial and elementary," and Whereas, in the said speech Mr. Aswell gave expression to other sentiments regarding people of African descent which were derogatory and offensive, and Whereas, it has been stated in the public press, that Mr. Aswell is being considered for the position of superintendent of the public school system of the District of Columbia, about to be made vacant by the resignation of Superintendent David- Be it Resolved, by the colored citizens of the District of Columbia in mass meeting assembled at the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church this seventh day of November, 1913, that the utterance referred to clearly show that Mr. Aswell is not a proper person to leave at the head of the public school system of the District, one third of whose population is composed of persons of African descent. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to each member of the school board. HON. WM.

RUSSELL) ay Win Varist (Philippians 3:8) The speaker sald: Eren saintly Christians seem but im- perfectly to grasp the plain teachings of the New Testament respecting mem- bership in the Body of Christ. Some assume that It is to be had on some basis of favoritism, and trust thdt they will be of the Elect. Others think that the Apostle is using figures of speech in an extreme fashion, and vaguely hope that they belong to the right Church and will attain whatever others get, as In the success of a party in which all the victors share the spolls. No doubt the errors of the Dark Ages absorbed in childhood have been more or less responsible for these va- garies and for our gerferal neglect of, Proper Bible study. It seems bard for' the people of God to realize that the Wisdom from Above 1s the noblest science and the best instruction; and that it needs Intelligent and systematic study as much as do earthly sciences. But we are learning, and, thank God! progress 1s belng made in unsectarian Bible study classes, which are spring- ing up all over the world. Conversion Not Winning Christ. What Is ordinarily termed conversion Is not what. St. Paul refers to in our text as “winning Christ.” The word conversion signifies “to turn about.” It implies that a wrong course has been pursued, that the error of the way bas been detected, and that a change to the proper one has been made. The wrong course is the sinful course, which brings Injury and Injustice on others. We never had a right to take that course; yet to some extent we are excusable; for we were born with downward tendencies, an inherited pre- disposition to sin. . We Inherited these depraved appe- tites and tendencies from our forefa- thers under the general laws of hered- Ity. A realization that sin always brings sorrow Is a sufficient reason for a change of course. Convers{on, there- fore, Is merely the operation of a sane mind In turning about from things ree- pgnized to be injurious. Every sensl- ble person should be converted from sin to righteousness. Conversion may have Christ connect- ed with It. or {t may ‘hot. Many are converted without any real knowledge of the Gospel of Christ. They merely knew that they were going In a wrong direction. and tumed about to take the proper course. But this we can say. that only strong characters can sur cessfully pursue a right course, and strong characters are in the minority. Whether strong or weak In character, great ald will surely be experienced ‘by those who, at the time of their con- version, have a knowledge of Christ and an appreciation of His work and His teachings. Nothing else gives such fortitude as the hope set before us In the Gospel. and the realization that there is a fu- ture Ife provided through Christ for all mankind, and that our course In the present life will have much to do with the stripes, or punishments, we ‘shall recelve here or in the future life—nec- essary to fit us for Divine favor and everlasting life. “Present Your Bodies"—Sacrifices. One might reform his life, and have a knowledge of Jesus and of the life to come secured through His death, and of the fact that “whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap.” and yet, with all that conversion, belief and reformation of life, he might not, be a Christian at all, in the Bible sense of that term. We would not by this dis- courage anybody from taking the re- formatory steps already outlined. We would, on the contrary, encourage them 20 todo. These steps are neces sary before anything forther can ex pect to be attained. ‘As alréady stated, reformation and righteous living commend themselves to all intelligent minds as right and advantageous, beneficial to the individ. ual himself as well as to the world o! mankind. Let us discuss Christianity a Christian, but from the Bible stand- point, which assures us that If any man Is a Christian he 1s a New Creat- ure—“old things have passed away; all | things have become new.” | ‘This does not mean that a Christian {s living a reformed life merely; nor that be has attained the condition of absolute perfection, in which he {s sin- less in thought, word and act. It mere: _ly means that a Christian has entered @ new life; he 1s 2 New Creature; old ambitions, hopes, projects and alms, however honorable and good, have passed away in the presence of new ambitions, new hopes, new aims. This is what the Apostle had in mind when saying “that I might win Christ.” What Winning Christ Méans. To understand our text we must first appreciate the general outline of the Gospel—the Divine Plan of Love for . human recovery from sin and death. ‘That Plan was first of all declared to Abrabam—that God would eventually bless all the families of the earth, and that the blessing would come through his posterity. In thee and In thy Seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed.—Galatians 3:8, 16, 23. |, Later on, God revealed that Abra- | bam’s Seed would constitute a special ' Kingdom class, which would rule all ‘nations for thelr uplift, When Israel, by failing to keep the ‘Law, failed to Prove itself the holy nation fit for the Divine service, God revealed that He would send a special Messenger of the Covenant; and that through Him, as | Prophet, Priest and King, the holy na- tion would be established; and later on At would be given the glory and honor, the rule of the world. | Our Lord Jesus at His First Advent began the work of selecting this King- ,dom class. First of all, He laid the broad foundation by dying for the sins of the .whole world. Then from amongst the redeemed onés He began | to select the members of the Kingdom. | And.this has been the work of this en- tire Gospel Age. Everything else on earth bas been secondary to this, the | Divine purpose. Boon the selective, or elective, work will be finished. Soon it will be deter- mined who will be of the Kingdom class. God's determination will be manifested in the fqct that the over- comers will all be sharers in the First or Chief Resurrection, to be priests ‘unto God and unto Christ and to reign with Him on the earth.—Rer, 20:6. “Abraham's Seed, and Heirs.” All who will be of that select King- dom class will be members of the foretold Seed of Abraham. Jesus was of Abrahamic stock through His mi- raculous birth; and after He had tald down His life sacrificlally and was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, no more a man, but a New Creature of the Divine natt was Abraham's Seed on plane. His Church, calle the Kingdom class, are ti hbam’s Seed on the same sp! We are not ignoring the Abraham has an earthly se and that to it belong certain earthly Promises. We are merely pointing out that the Scriptures clearly" teach that the earthly seed cannot have its share in the work of blessing others until first the Heavenly Seed, the Spiritual Seed of Abrabam, shall have been per- fected In the First Resurrection. God showed the two seeds In the state- ment to Abrabam, “I will multiply thy seed as the stars of eaven [the spfrit- ual. the Church} dnfas the sand which is upon the seashore” [the earthly].— Genesis 22:17. St. Paul tells us that-this Seed. of Abriham, Jesus and the Church, spirit- begotten, are unitedly the Church. Using a human body as an illustra- tion, he speaks of the anointed Jesus as ‘the Head, and of each one of the Church as a member of the Body of Christ. Thus we read, “If ‘ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's Seed, and hetrs according to the promise.” (Galatians 3:16, 29.) ‘Thus we see that St. Paul was anxious to win a mem- bership in the Body of Christ, the Churcb. The Apostle, of course, was a mem. ber of the Church from the time of his begetting of the Holy Spirit. But there are two bodies of Christ, if we may 80 express the matter. One Is the probationary Body of the present time; the other the actual Body of the fu: ture. All fully consecrated ‘bellevers are members of the probationary Church, or Body of Christ, from the moment they recelve the begetting of the Holy Spirit. Thenceforth they are next to the Father t ‘The Aposties N Some will gay, A way was for Jesus but not for the Church, God is n fices from the Ch’ purpose to give tl Jesus and the Apos' honors and glories. We answer, Let t God, His Word Apostles were set ‘en him, Deana dai: Apostles were set > % to the Church; anc ¢ walk-in the footsteps of Jesus and io thelr footsteps as they followed Him. ‘They tell us that “we are all called 10 ' the one. hope of our calling.” And they assure us that it fs possible for the poorest, and by nature the meanest, of all who accept the Divine Invitation, to make bis calling and election sure. To take any other view is to contra- dict all of the Bible; and to take the Bible {s to contradict all the creeds and human theories, which long enough have made the Word of God meaning- Jess to us all, It ts high time that we allow 'God's Word to be heard, and that we take Hig Word at its full value. ‘Tho Bible Election Is Different. I well know the objection that many have to the doctrine of Election. I know how opposed to it I was myself until I saw how different is the Bible Election from the Election which Brother Calvin taught. In the Bible Election God does the nominating, and each nominated person either makes his calling and election sure, or falls to do so. The responsibility Mes with the individual favored with a knowl- edge of God's Truth, which knowledge constitutes a call, Furthermore, the ‘Bible Election works no injury to the non-elect. Quite the contrary. The Election of the Kingdom class, along the Lines of character-development, obedience to God and self-sacrifice, 1s for the very purpose of qualifying these elect ones for the great work to which they are called. The elect Seed of Abraham called for the purpose of blessing ail the families of the earth, ; In the light of this view of Election, how reasonable are thd Bible presenta- tions! And how trials, difficulties and sacrifices—to which the Church is.sub- Jected—are evidently necessary for our testing and development in the cbar. acterkeness of the Lord! and thus they are a preparation for a share with Him in His future work, A knowledge of the Divine Plan ts very valuable to all who seek to run the race. If we knew not the object of our trials and difficulties, how could ‘we sq well learn to endure them ps- tlently! But if we know that God is thus giving us lessons to prepare us for His service in Mess{ah’s Kingdom, how ft changes the aspect of the en. tire matter! * AS St. Paul declared, wa mav ovo giuves or the Holy Spirit is a prepara- tion; and that thus, as St. Peter says, “An entrance shall be ministered unto us abundantly Into the everlasting Kingdom of our Lord and Savior.” What of Those Who Fail? + The Scriptures clearly show that two classes will fail to win the prize, even after having been begotten of the Holy Spirit. One of these classes the Scrip- tures liken to the sow who returns to her wallowing in the mire, losing the Spirit of the Lord, the Spirit of the ‘Truth, and abandoning their consecra- tion altogether. (2 Peter 2:22.) These will die the Second Death. Whether their number {s large or small is not for us to judge. We may reasonably hope that such unfaithfol characters do not predominate. Then comes another class that the Scriptures declare will fail to get the Kingdom prize. Although members of the Body of Christ now in the present life, they will not be amongst the “more than conquerors” who will be mem- bers of the Body beyond the vell. ‘These are represented as a “great com- pany.” How great thelr-number is, {a Proportion to the number who win Christ, the Scriptures do not tell; there- fore we may safely withhold judg: ment in the matter. ‘The Scriptures tell us that while these love the Truth, appreciate their Covenant of Sacrifice, yet they fall to complete the sacrifice they had agreed to make; and the hindrance 4s thelr lack of suffictent love for the Lord and His work., Their lack of zeal leads them to hold back from sacrifice, al- though they do not draw back’ to wil- ful sin, as do the other class. They hold back through fear of death, writes the Apostle: “Who through fear of death were all thelr lifetime subject to bondage,” restrained from going on in the footsteps of Jesus and the Apos- tles to make their election sure. ‘The Scriptures represent that this class, held back by fear of the dyin, Process, the sncers of the world, etc. will be counted unworthy of a place in the Body of Christ, the Royal Priest hood, but will be amongst the antitypl cal Levites, who will have a service to perform in conjunction with the King dom class. But the attainment of this honor will be only after a demonstra tion of full loyalty to God. In conclusion, I exhort all who pro- fess to be God's people to learn to es teem properly the value of this “pear! of great price” which God is now of fering to us through Jesus. Only by the loss, the sacrifice, of all earth; things will this highest position on the Heavenly plane be attained; but, as St | Paul points out. it is cheap at th price; and all that we have to give fol it fs but as dross in comparison. . c Act ARTY SQUIRRELS SABACIOUS| A QV GERMANY TO ee: NACL y BE 2 Tom and Jerry Benefit by Seldier?

But comparatively few can see the real depths of Moses’ character; for only a few realize the Divine call to Israel and Moses’ work as thelr mediator. Moses, the Servant of God. We cannot help feeling sympathetic toward this grand servant of God— “the meekest man In all the earth.” After so many years of patience, long- suffering and loyalty to God, in an un- guarded moment, Israel's great medi- ator falted In meekness and loyalty. Directed by the Lord to speak to the rock, which on a previous occasion be bad smitten, Moses petulantly smote It the second time. “The rock whence came the life-giving stream represented the Rock of Ages— Messiah, who was to be smitten once more, Compare Hebrews 6:4-0. ‘The fact that Moses was used as a type of the Second Death class In no sense Implles that he experlenced the Second Death or cut himself off from Divine favor.

(1 Corinthians 15:13,14.) We bave Jesus’ own word for it that neither Moses nor Elijah went to Heaven. He declared, “No man hath ascended up to Heaven.”— John 3:13. Jesus explained that what the dis- ciples saw was a vision. “Tell the vision to no man.” (Matthew 17:9.) Just so the trumpets, beasts, etc., of Revelation are not realities, but vi- sions. St. Peter, who witnessed the vi- sion, declares that it was a representa- tion of Messiah's Kingdom.

Yet the first clear statement of this Divine purpose was made to Abraham, that himself and his posterity should be associated with God In the work of homan uplift. In due time the Logos became Jesus, and sacrificially laid down His life. To Him were gathered the “Israelites in- deed,” to share in His sufferings and death and to be made partakers of His glory. These with Jesus‘are to con- stitute the antitypical Moses, raised up from amongst their brethren. Not enough of such “Israelites indeed” be- ing found, Divine Wisdom has been se- lecting others ftom amongst the Gen- tiles.

He noticed also that the horses in the barn were belng pestered ‘by the insects. So he gathered large armfuls of hay and placed one under each horse.

ASKS GERMANY TO HALT NAVAL PLANS Churchill Propases Cessation Of Building Battleships. wouLD RELIEVE TAXPAYERS Suggests That Germany and England Build No Vessels For One Year—Be- Tieves That Smaller Nations Would Follow Example of Greater Powers. Situation In Europe Is Now Clearing. London.—Winston Churchill, the first lord of the aduiralty, in behalf of the English government has made a spe elie offer to Germany of a year’s “na- val holiday,” whereln both nations would agree to halt the construction of battleships. Widespread Interest was aroused by the proposal, and much significance 1s attached to the offer, which was.made While he was discussing the naval ex- penditures of $375,000,000 a year and warning the nation of the inevitably heavy Increase in armaments ff the rivalry continued. The pith of his speech was contained in this paragraph; “Now, we say In all friendship and sincerity to our great nelgbbor, Ger. many: If you will put off beginning te build your two ships for twelve months ‘We will put off in absolute good faith the building of our four ships for ex- actly the same period.” If Great Britain and Germany took the lead, Mr. Churchill added. there ‘was a good prospect of success In get- ting other powers to agree to a naval holfday, thus relieving the taxpayers of a burden of milllions of dollars. Br. Churchill first advocated a naval holiday ou March 26 when he was speaking In the house of commons on the naval estimates, but Germany did not accept his offer. “The proposal I put forward in the name of the British government for a naval holiday Is quite simple.” he sald, ag sesh fs ae % ae = Bs oo Said Boe aN SESS a 8 ee S ae feted REE ee SP visvescf « \ | « | ~ ineeineieasiiTS. “Next year, apart from the Canadlat ships or thelr equivalent and apar from anything that may be require¢ by any development In the Mediter ranean, we shall lay down four great ships to Germany's two. Now, we gay to Germany, ‘If you will put off beginning to build your two ships for twelre months we will put off in ab- solute good falth thé building of ocr four ships for exactly the same period.” ‘Mr. Churcbill then expressed the opinion thut if Great Britain and, Ger- many took the lead all the other great countries would follow sult, and they woutd all be just as great and as sound as if they bad built the ships at pres- ent projected. If Austria and Italy did not bulld, the obligation, be said, would be removed from France and Great Britain, and the fact that the triple alllance (Germany. Austria- Hungary and Italy) was bullding no ships would make the proposal pos- sible without the slixbtest danger or risk. The first lord then added: “Isn't It lkely that so great and memorable an erent would produce en effect on the naval construction of the United States and Japan? Scores of Inillions avontd be rescued for the prog- ress of mankind.” Mr. Churchill added. “That ts the Proposal I make for the year 1914 or. if that year fs thought to be too near. for 1915." ‘The frst lord warned that apart from such an agreement “the naval ex- penditure of next year will be sub- stantially greater than that of this year. Whatever may be necessary for the safety of our country and the main- tenance of our influence all over the ‘world will have to be done.” Mr. Churchill thought the fact that the situation in Europe was much clearer now than it had been for some time, the strong evidences of a desire for peace and the greatly improved relations between Great Britain and Germany rendered the moment favor- ‘able for the resumption of the con- alderation of the suggestion of a naval | hollday tu which frieudly reference ‘was made {n a speech by the German fasperia: chancellor.” STRAIGHTEN YOUR OWN HAIR Real Colored People's Hair Sample of Comb may be secured at The Bee office, where orders will be received and Comb promptly delivered.

Limit For Women and Girls Under New Pennsylvania Law. Harrisburg, Pa.—Pennsylvania's new woman's employment law is now in effect. The limit of hours of labor for women and girls is fifty-four a week, except in the home and on the farm. The new law prohibits the employment of women or girls for more than six consecutive days and not more than ten hours in any one day. Forty-five minutes must be allowed for the midday meal and a rest period of the same length after continuous employment for six hours. Night employment is limited to telephone operators over eighteen and to managers, superintendents, clerks and stenographers. The department of labor and industry, Commissioner Jackson says, will be reasonable and work to bring about the conditions required by the statute without entailing unnecessary hardship. The law will cause many changes in industrial and mercantile establishments. Its applicability to theatrical people will be worked out after advice from the attorney general's department. CLUBHOUSE FOR SERVANTS. Mistresses Provide a Place For Them to Receive Their "Steadies." Los Angeles, Cal. - The hired girl problem approached one step nearer solution in the announcement that the Friday Morning club, the largest woman's organization in Los Angeles, would establish a home club for domestics. This home club, which is to be established in one of the most fashionable residence districts, is to be a little like a woman's club, but more like a man's. There will be opportunities for culture, of course, but there will be also places X ```markdown ``` O. K. WILLIAMS, Mgr. JAS. B. DUDLEY, President, A. & M. College, Greensboro, N.

BOY SEVEN FEET TALL CAN'T FIND WORK BOY SEVEN FEET TALL CAN'T FIND WORK Abnormal Height Causes Lad Many Inconveniences. New Orleans.—Only a "kid" and seven feet one and a quarter inches tall is J. Willis Kenelly. And he's still growing. Mr. Kenelly, who is barely twenty years old, comes from Columbia, Marlon county, Miss. When he went to Mississippi A. and M. college at the beginning of the year's term they barred him from football practice because the team quit the field in a body when he came out for "scrimmage work." "Why, if a man tackles him he will fall halfway to the goal," argued the team. The coach, not wishing to take any undue advantage of opponents like that, decided, that Kenelly could not play. So when he left to go home again because they barred him from playing he took a day coach and sat up all night. "What's the use of paying for a sleeper when they don't make the berths long enough for me to get into?" he said. He is having trouble obtaining work too. "My height is against me," he said. Whenever Kenelly goes into a tailor shop in Columbia they get down the longest piece of cloth and start unwinding it. "Yes, I was about the average size until I was seventeen years old, and then I got a good start and kept on growing." Barney Lewis, who, it is alleged, robbed a Northeastern train about a year ago, came from the same county as Kenelly. "He isn't a small man either," said the giant. "I tell you they don't grow small in that county." WRITES UPSIDE DOWN. Boy, Normal Otherwise, Sings and Figures Backward. Huntington. W. Va.—Russell Bakor, eight, has been attending school for two years and makes all his letters and figures upside down. He writes from left to right and sings his low notes high and his high notes low. Dr. C. M. Hawes, accompanied by Dr. Lindsey Vinson, specialist in children's diseases, spent hours with the child endeavoring to find exactly what was wrong, but they confess themselves mystified. The only explanation they attempt is that the boy's mind and sight are as a camera's eye in which everything looks upside down. The boy is perfectly normal and has no other defects. MR. HARRY A.

Washington.-Figures indicate that immigration to the United States is on the increase. Statistics made public by the bureau of immigration show that the total number of aliens admitted for August was 126,180, compared with 82,377 for the same month last year, an increase of 43,803. Of the total number, 84,623 were males and 41,557 females. Italy was the largest contributor, sending 31,762 aliens. A total of 2,479 persons were debarred for various causes during August. The total number of immigrant allens who departed from the United States during August was 23,242, compared with 25,725 for the corresponding month in 1912. Of the total, 17,301 were males and 5,941 females. WAITS YEARS TO BANK $500. Woman Loses $396 Interest Through Her Long Delay. Watertown, S. D.—A peculiar occurrence took place at the First National bank in this city. A woman living in the country near here brought in a package containing $500 that H. D. Walrath had wrapped up and pald to her Dec. 28, 1900, thirteen years ago. The package had lain at the house unopened during that time, and the woman brought it to the First National bank and took out a time certificate of deposit on it. The case being a peculiar one, Mr. Walrath figured up how much interest that money would have accumulated If the certificate had been taken out in 1900 and found that the $500 would have earned $309 interest during the time. RID WHOLE TOWN OF RATS. Pied Pipers Celebrate Slaughter of 10. 013 Rodents. Vanlue, O.-Seven hundred pied pipers attended a dinner here to celebrate the windup of the greatest rat killing crusade ever held here. In an effort to rid Amanda township of rats two teams of 600 men were formed. In six weeks they killed just 10,013 rodents. Amanda is now believed to be the freest of rats of any township in the state if not in the country. Every means—traps, poison and guns—was employed in the ruthless work of extermination. POWERS CRIES OUT, "I AM THAT MAN!" Congressman Gives Professor a Great Surprise. Washington.-The law students at Georgetown university are telling of a dramatic scene in a classroom in which Dr. Holmes Conrad, professor of law, and Caleb Powers, the Kentucky congressman, were the actors. In a lecture to a post graduate class Dr. Conrad was denouncing public sympathy for criminals and declared that some, through a mistaken public sentiment, were carried to places of power when released from prison. "Who was that man in Kentucky who killed another and was sent to 1930 CALEB POWERS. congress?" asked the professor of the class, to illustrate his point. During the hush that immediately fell over the room Caleb Powers, a student sitting in the front row, rose to his feet with perfect composure and in a clear voice said: "I am that man, doctor; I was not guilty." Dr. Conrad apologized, continued his lecture and afterward made a formal apology to Powers, saying he had not known the congressman was a member of his class. Powers spent eight years, three months and three days in Kentucky prisons fighting for his life. He was charged with complicity in the murder of Governor Goebel. THE BEE Published at 1109 Eye St. N.

Hate and revenge eat into his heart, yet every look is a cordial smile, every gesture a familiar caress. He never excites the suspicions of his adversaries by petty provocations. His purpose is disclosed only when it is accomplished. His face is unruffled, his speech is courteous, till vigilance is laid asleep, till a vital point is exposed, till a sure aim is taken, and then he strikes for the first time." Ever since the Civil War, by reason of which the South lost its control of the government of the country, the dominant element of that section have been occupied with the vast and complicated schemes, looking to their restoration to political domination. Pursuant to the gratification of this ambition they have for the past twenty-five years assumed an attitude of apparent contentment and even satisfaction, thereby deceiving their rivals by an exhibition of a feigned philosophical acceptance of a so-called irrevocable condition. In the meantime, while in fact revenge and hate wrankled in their breasts, they smiled with charming affability in the faces of their victors and caressed with all the gestures of an Iscariot those who had wrested from them their illgotten property and restored equality in the electorate. So successful has been their smooth duplicity, their intrigues, their diabolical circumspection, that all suspicions have been allayed, all doubts as to friendship and good fellowship removed and their Northern competitors for official honors and political power have shaken hands "across the bloody chasm," buried the hatchet, quite forgotten all about the war and the great principles on which it was waged and one ruthlessly repudiated their most reliable ally and finally "laid down" politically, surrendered bag and baggage, boot and spurs. And now that vigilance has been laid asleep, the vital point been fully exposed, the aim taken and the blow tremendously struck, antebellum Southern diabolism has "broke loose" and the sons of Beliel are at their horrid work. God knows where they will fetch up; we hope in — THOMAS' TESTIMONIAL THE people of this city are grateful. They have readily responded to the invitation of The Bee to tender Mr. Andrew J. Thomas, the sole lessee and manager of Howard Theater, a complimentary testimonial, and the week beginning Monday, November 24th, to continue through the entire week to Saturday evening, November 29th, has been selected. Every theater in this city conducted and controlled by white people are closed against the colored citizens, and Mr. Thomas is the only person to manage a theater in this city for colored people, and has succeeded against all opposition. His acts have been charitable and liberal toward all classes and organizations. It is left to be seen what those people will do for Mr. Thomas during the six days' testimonial to him. The people and all other organizations have a brilliant opportunity to refute all charges that the colored people are ungrateful. Mr. Thomas has made sacrifices for meetings held CUT IT OUT. It would be in far better taste of those religious bodies professing to have a genuine interest in the colored people would dispense with the term "ward" and apply one more in harmony with actual conditions. The term "ward" is a gross misnomer, as undesirable as it is unjust and inapplicable. It presupposes relations which have never existed between the white and colored of this country. Until a half century ago, the relation of master and slave pretty generally obtained at the South—a relation enforced by political methods which were offensive, to civilization, insulting to humanity, shocking to decency and by which practically a whole race was "delivered over to prostitution and concubinage, without the protection of any law." Yet the South was wont to call these very slaves "the black marble keystone of our national arch," "the cornerstone of our Republican edifice," "ennobling to the master." It would be in far better taste of the one to have a genuine interest in the color of the term "ward" and apply one more institutions. The term "ward" is a gross it is unjust and inapplicable. It pres ever existed between the white and the half century ago, the relation of man obtained at the South—a relation of which were offensive, to civilization, leading to decency and by which practical power to prostitution and concubinage law."

During the short interval between Emancipation and Enfranchisement, the relation of the freedmen somewhat approximated that between guardian and ward—when, under the leadership of such noble spirits as Charles Sumner, Thaddeus Stevens, Henry Wilson and Wendell Phillips, the nation undertook to stand in loco parentis, pending the completion of the necessary political habiliments, of Constitutional citizenship for the ex-slave. This short interval constitutes the only period to which the term can be applied with any semblance of justice or accuracy. The fact is that the colored people have been not only self-sustaining, but also liberal contributors to the national growth of the society in which they lived during all the long years of the centuries of their residence in this country. They have indeed been the "cornerstone, ennobling to the master," and so far from being the wards, have been the actual guardian of the best interests of the South. It is a mere perversion of terms to apply the name "ward" to the colored people. The race has been tested by every measure justly and truly applicable in the ascertainment of moral and material, political and civil worth, and it has not been found wanting. Only recently the secretary of the General Baptist Convention of Waco, Texas, said: "We are the Negro's debtor for services rendered; we have been and are shall continue to be the beneficiaries of his toil. For generations the Negro was our slave. It is largely through his sweat and toil that our country, North and South, has become what it is." And further: "Every fibre of our being and every drop of our blood ought to be given to the elevation and uplift of the race, as a mere matter of simple debt." This is a truth fitly spoken, and indicates that the colored people are far from being wards. Then why this characterization by Christians who profess to be the wise men and divinely appointed representatives of Him who announced the doctrine of the brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God?" The fact that the term "ward" is used almost exclusively by Southern clergymen may be significant and may throw much light upon the motive involved. These ministers have to deal with communicants and communities who are too morbidly pride-blown and bigoted to seek to adjust themselves to a new state of society, and are being deceived by the hallucination that the wheels of progress, which are revolving at almost lightning rate, are standing still just to please them. These dreamers seem not to realize that the Civil War is over, that slavery is abolished, but are still standing like so many ungodly Joshuas foolishly gesticulating and commanding the sun of righteousness and justice and freedom to stand still that they may continue in their hellish work of further degrading humanity and multiplying human miseries. It would be a strong body of Christians, indeed, were some—nay, many—well-meaning though weak clergymen not infected with the virus of race prejudice and hatred; but that the disease is so prevalent among those of the cloth make one doubt the expediency of Christian philosophy or question the sincerity of the Southern ministry. Practically the whole brood of Southern ministers seem to be tainted with race prejudice and not only manifest the loathson disease among their own, but, like true rebels, seek to spread the virus where practical Christianity flourishes and where the doctri that God is no respecter of persons is daily acknowledged and applied. To our mind nothing can be so out of tone with true Christianity as an attempt to compromise with Wrong by yielding sentiment which is calculated to postpone, even for a brief period that inevitable and glorious day when the colored people will take their places of acknowledged political and civil equality to which they have long been and now are entitled. And the consignment to Limbo the term now so freely and unjustly applied by Southern people generally will be a favor to the colored people and result in the removal of a great stumbling block now in the way of the political, moral and spiritual regeneration of the white South. But if Southern ministers will persist in using the term at home, in the name of truth and justice, common sense and decency, let them "assume a virtue, if they have it not" when enjoying the hospitality of those more liberally inclined. by the Young Men's Christian Association and all other organizations. The opening night of the testimonial will be Monday night, and continue till the 20th Every citizen should be present on Monday night. Monday night is citizens' night. A special program has been prepared for the entire week. As the testimonial will continue a week the people will be given every opportunity to show their appreciation. Only a partial list of the program appears in The Bee this week, which will give the readers of The Bee and the citizens a faint idea of what is coming off. Secure your tickets for next week and avoid the rush. CARDOZA VINDICATED. The Bee congratulates Dr. F. L. Cardoza and his most excellent wife. It was a fight to the finish, and the government exerted every effort to vindicate the law. The Bee informed the distinguished United States attorney from the start that Dr. Cardoza was innocent, and while-Mr. Wilson was bound to do his duty he never exhibited the least venom, and neither did he resort to meanness or deception to convict. The government prosecuted the case and its merits and nothing more. A NEW COURT Judge Latimer, as well as the entire population, will demand that Congress appropriate sufficient funds for a new Juvenile Court and additional probation officers. The reforms that are being inaugurated in that court are highly commendable and it is hoped that Congress will act at once. MADAME GRIFFIN. She Makes a Hit in Elocution Madame Ada Bell Griffin, the noted MADAME GRIFFIN. elocationist of Worcester, Mass., appeared in one of her celebrated entertainments at Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, this city, on Thursday evening, October 30. On this occasion, she was assisted by her sister, Miss Anna May Griffin. Madame Griffin's graceful manner and pleasing address won the applause of her audience. Her recitation of the Chariot Race was thrilling and realistic. She is capable of reciting the most classical selections, and also possesses the happy faculty of reciting dialect poetry. In the course of her recital, Madame Griffin rendered two of Dunbar's dialect selections in a most pleasing manner. Madame Griffin is no amateur, but an artist in her profession, whose ability as an elocutionist ranks among the highest in her class. To appreciate her rare talent is to hear her. Those who heard Madame Griffin in her high class entertainment given in this city, do not hesitate to sound high their praises of her recital. Miss Anna May Griffin, her sister, who accompanied her, is a student at the Boston Conservatory of Music. Miss Anna May Griffin rendered several vocal and instrumental selections. She has a mellow and attractive voice and performs well on the piano. Madam Griffin filed several engagements before leaving on Wednesday. Greeted by a Classic Audience. Mr. James Reese Europe, who presented the New York famous Clef Club, appeared at the Howard Theater last Friday evening, November 7th. It was an evening of music of all kinds, from high, middle and low classics, high, middle and low ragtime. Everybody got what he wanted. Mr. Europe and his able assistant, Mr. Wm. H. Tyers, are two up-to-date artists. The club is composed of high-class artists. The soloists were: The favorite. Louis A. Mitchell, tenor: Harvey White, baritone; Emery B. Smith, baritone; Vance L. Lowry, banjoist, and A. Johns, pianist. Every selection that this great musical combination played was by colored authors. Those who failed to see and hear Those who failed to see and hear this club missed a treat. Messrs. Jetter and Felix Weire were introduced and played two selections, which were loudly applauded. THE CLEE CLUB Public Men And Things (By the Sage of the Potomac.) No use talking, you just got to hand it to Nev Thomas for pulling off that Villard meeting. Course I know that Nev wasn't the whole show; there were others in the mix-up, but Nev. was the most enthusiastic fellow on the town plat. Before and after he acted just like a boy with his first pair of red top boots. Now Nev. Thomas is about as radical a cuss on this matter of race discrimination as you can find. He's got DuBois backed clear off the boards, and is a lot more saner than the vandyked gentleman who draws about $2,500 per annum from that association with an elongated name for writing a lot of dreamy junk full of "Miss September Morn" irreconcilables. Another thing about Nev. Thomas, he isn't so narrow as DuBois. Nev. is only narrow or vindictive when it comes to mentioning Rev. J. Milton Waldron's name, and when you mention his name to Nev. why the cetylin tank just goes off, and there ain't nothing more to it. But speaking about that meeting it has injected a lot of pep into some of these coal-complexioned individuals around here. I been reading about the street car strike out in Indiana; how the striking car men hustled around and tied up things, and I've been thinking what a scary lot of people we are. We just let them do anything to us and we smile and look pleasant, and in effect say: "Do it some more." And if some radical tells them or tells us to present insult and segregation and discrimination some soft-soaped "white man's nigger" yells: "Oh, I don't want to." I've just figured it out that if we don't show some spunk pretty soon the white folks is just going to take us for a lot of yellow curs, and will either be kicking us around or sending us to the dog pound. Wish we all had nerve enough to sing in chorus, and sing it like we meant it: "You got to stop kickin' my houn' dawg 'round." \*\*\* I know one man that radical talk of Villard just more than pleased, and that is Armond Scott. Now Armond is another one of those awfully radical cusses. He's almost as radical as Ortie McManigal, and just burns up the cinder path with his bold talk about Ham's rights. Speaking about Armond, I dropped into a barber shop the other evening when Armond was letting off a lot of pent-up oxygen, and the way he jammed some of these "leaders" what's been lying under cover and talking in whispers ever since they began to segregate Mr. Ham in the departments was some more caution. Armond just can't mince his words, nor grind them up into sausage meat talking about these ke an office or some job higher than man can always hear Arpiece, cause he's got ts the megaphone into yellow leaf. But getillard's meeting. Ain't it tough to think that a white man has to come around and inject nerve into us off-colored suspects who are always talking about our being the equal of a white man in gray matter. And ain't it tough to think that we've got folks around here who talk awfully loud about rights when they are down to Aaron Gaskin's mint exhibit, and have poked about four syncopated grape juices into their bellies, but as soon as they get face to face with the caucasian who tells them to run along to the jim crow toilet; they lose their speech and their nerve goes on a long vacation. Nev. Thomas is one of those bugs what's always got his nerve, and for Armond Scott' blow me if that North Carolinian isn't just as loud before a king as he is before a plebe. I wish we had a bunch of "all the time talking loud" fellows like Nev. and Armond. And old hesitating Hershaw ain't slow either. He's got a lot of what I call manhood about him, and a few pecks of saneness along with it. Hershaw is one of the high priests in this association with an elongated name what we all belong to now. \*\*\* I notice there is a new game out, and is quite popular in social circles. Its played with photographs. You take a lot of photographs, shuffle them up just like you would cards, and deal them out, and each one is supposed to say all the mean things he or she can about the photograph dealt them. That game ought to be mighty popular around these parts, cause there are a lot of folks around here who can say mean things about other people constantly without being dealt any photographs. Substitute this game for whist here, and it would prove so delightfully fascinating that the slaughter of Mexicans by Huerta would not be in it with the slaughter of characters and reputations by those indulging in this new game. Speaking about Huerta, if Woody Wilson was as solicitous about the rights of we anthracites what are citizens of this country as he is about those Mexican greasers what won't recognize Huerta, we would not have segregation in the departments. Our President who hales from New Jersey via way of Virginia and Georgia, is awfully interested in the rights of the oppressed when the oppressed are separated from him by the boundary line of a foreign country, but when they are right at his door, he ain't much on protection for them. Villard handed him a hot one. I was talking to Little Lord Fauntleroy the other day. Take it from me that bunch of diplomacy is sure enjoying the rest his enemies are giving him. The old saying "it's a cold wind what blows nobody good" is fully appreciated by Rosco. This segregation in the departments, and the agitation against it has taken the minds of the anti-Bruce crowd off of him and centered it on something else. Ever Bruce Evans can't get an audience now to give his private opinion of Little Lord Fauntleroy publicly expressed, and with the Democrats talking and executing segregation and elimination of Hamites, even Dan Murray who ain't over favorable to Rosco, can't get a hustle on him to start agitation against the Columbia Road descendant. It's a mighty good thing these members of the anvil chorus have slowed down in their knocks on the baldheaded diplomat who won the oratory prize at Harvard, cause it gives the schools a chance to do good work, and gives Little Lord Faintleroy an opportunity to focus all his attention to the schools instead of consuming most of his time watching to see the next move of the anties on the chessboard. To use a mighty expressive word of McMullin the "yaller bud" from North Carolina who operates a barber trust "knockin' a good man is a game what never is longer than nine innings." **** But I can't help but gettin' back to the first proposition and reminding you that Nev. Thomas 'deserving of our thanks for his very healthy stand for what lots of us call manhood rights when nobody is around. Nev. talks it right out in meeting. Keep it up, you radical bug, cause you sure are in the right church and the right pew. And I hope you will smoke some of these "leaders" out into the open. In the barber shop Saturday evening one wise guy who draws down $1,200 in the Treasury Department, said he was ashamed of himself because he lost his nerve when they talked about discarding anthracites what, would refuse to use the segregated toilet room, and he now felt like organizing a strike against it. Give Nev. Thomas and Armond Scott a job in that department and I'll bet you a highball they will lead the strike. DR. DAVIDSON COMMENDED. Resolutions by the Teachers. Washington, D. C. November 6, 1913. Whereas, The public prints announce the resignation of William Mehard Davidson from the superintendency of the public schools of the District of Columbia to accept that of the city of Pittsburgh: Therefore, Be it resolved that the teachers and officers of the colored public schools of Washington in meeting assembled do hereby express their sincere and lasting appreciation of Doctor Davidson's vigorous and engaging personality, of his infinite patience and sympathy and tacet, of his tireless energy, of his steadfast adherence to modern standards of professional ethics and efficiency, of his insistence that the professional prerogatives of the educational expert be untrammeled by any and every extraneous influence; of his eminent constructive services to the local school system. Be it resolved that Superintendent Davidson's relations with the colored schools and the colored teachers and officers have been most happy and helpful because his democracy recognizes merit as vital and ignores color as irrelevant; because, like his noble predecessor, he has entered cordially into the spirit of an organic school law which wisely places the colored schools under the supervision and administration of colored men and women exclusively, subject only to the general oversight of the superintendent of schools; because his conscience has unhesitatingly approved the long and honorable tradition that salary schedules of teachers and officers and appropriations of every kind must invariably be identical for identical functions and services in both groups of schools—colored and white. Be it resolved that wherever Doctor Davidson may be called upon to serve the great and holy cause of popular education, he will carry with him the respect and affection, the enduring gratitude, the hopes and prayers of the teachers and officers of the colored public schools of the Capital of the Nation. Resolved that a copy of these resolutions be engrossed and presented to Doctor Davidson. Committee. Dr. W. S. Montgomery, J. C. Nalle, M. P. Shadd, J. E. Walker, Dr. Lucy Moten, E. C. Williams, G. C.

The Constitutional League of Oklahoma, with Lawyer William Harrison, of Oklahoma City, as its leading attorney, 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 Attichison, Topeka & Santa Re Railway Co. et al. We are informed that jurists say that the Oklahoma case is the best prepared of its kind of any case yet put before the United States Supreme 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 affect all of the Negroes in the United States, and that is the Interstate Passenger Law. If he succeeds it will put an end to all "Jim Crowism," so far as interstate passengers are concerned. They will not then be subject 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 case. We think it is high time, if Negroes want liberty, they should be willing to pay something towards it. A few race-loving men and women in the Oklahoma League, led by the Rev. 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 practically given his service for nothing; but he 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 interested send at least $t$. 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. He is a reputable, streightforward Christian gentleman, and will make an honest report of all money sent him. If persons making contribution do not object, their names will be-published in the leading papers of their State. Yours for justice. President Woman's Convention Aux. National Baptist Convention. NANNIE H. BURROUGHS, Secretary Woman's Convention, Aux. National Baptist Convention. October 20, 1913. P. S.—Editors of the race who are interested will please copy. Mr. William Speights, a graduate of the Boston Conservatory, now a member of Washington Conservatory faculty, will make his initial appearance before a Washington audience next Friday evening at Metropolitan Church. A MESS OF IT. Supervising Principal Walker and Others Too Previous—Selfishness May Defeat a Worthy Cause. It has just come to light that several teachers in the colored schools, headed by Miss E. A. Chase, Miss Lewis and others, had decided to organize an association for the benefit of the three teachers who had been dropped on account of old age and to pay their salaries until Congress saw fit to pass the long-looked-for teachers' retirement bill. Miss Chase, so a Bee representative had been informed, has been elected chairman of the committee. Like all other worthy enterprises that are organized by those who have some humanity in their hearts and who are not selfish, the jealous ones decided to form an opposition association. It is said that the old grim monster, Jealousy, asserted itself in the hearts of the opposing force, headed by Supervising Principal Walker, Miss Merrill and others, and attempted to depose Miss Chase by calling for the election of a chairman. Miss Chase arose and informed Assistant Superintendent Bruce that a chairman had already been elected. Mr. Jealousy Walker and Miss Mee-too Merritt, with other opposing forces, called for a vote. The presiding officer, Mr. Bruce, looked surprised and said that he was unaware that an organization had been perfected. The vote to elect was carried, but the regulars, headed by Miss Chase, developed such strength it was unanimously decided to relect Miss Chase chairman. One vote was recorded against her and that was Miss Mee-to-Merritt's, who never seems to be at ease unless she is opposing some one or some enterprise. It will be remembered that Miss Merritt opposed the just claim of Mrs. Tea R. Richardson against the Teachers' Annual Association, which was the gause of Mrs. Richardson going into court. Miss Merritt was represented by a white attorney and Mrs. Richardson was represented by Judge Hewlett. The case was finally settled by Miss Merritt acknowledging her error. It is a question whether Miss Chase will continue. No one thought about assisting these worthy teachers, who had been dropped, until such teachers as Miss Chase and others took the initiative. She was ably supported by Dr. Lucy Moten, of the Normal School, and others. It was remarked by the supporters of Miss Chase that Supervising Principal Montgomery's division always takes the lead in everything. It was the first division that took the lead in the social settlement movement, which aroused the jealousy of others. IN THE CLIMB. The black man is in this crime.

E. and Sunday School, People's Congregational Church, Interdenominational Bible Class of the Y. M. C. A. and Bethel Literary Society, etc. Mrs. A. E. Woddleton, the Junior Superintendent of the A. M. E. connection, was invited to meet Mrs. Thomas in the home of Mrs. McEntree. There can be no question but that the great A. M. E. Church is at last making up to the need for stronger development in its Junior departments. More efficient work and sincere Christian viewpoints by these league workers and pledoes for stronger Junior societies were made. The need for capable field workers who can emphasize the Sunday School work in every department, from the Cradle Roll through the teachers' training classes and home department; the A. C. E. L. in its several committees of Junior and Intermediate branches; these, with other phases of our work, were discussed and suggestions for bringing these ideas before the proper authorities were definitely planned. The home of Mrs. McEntree seemed to be.the mecca to which C. E. folks turned when plans were to be discussed. So it was made very pleasant when Miss Emma B. Hall and Mr.J. R. Moss, delegates at large to the Los Angeles convention, called. For a while it seemed that all present were in Los Angeles taking a part in the Quiet Hour service, or some committee conference. Mr. Moss, as chairman of the Extension Committee of the District, is to give illustrated talks of the Los Angeles convention in the various churches. These workers have been invited to visit the Connectional Young People's Congress, Atlanta, Ga., in 1914. Reluctantly Washington bade Mrs. Thomas good-bye and gave a "Godspeed you in your work" that carried with it a connection of earnestness for one who labors for the uplift of her people. Dr. and Mrs. J. A. Kenney, who were married in Boston last week, stopped over in Washington en route to their home in Tuskegee, Ala. They were accompanied by Dr. H. F. Gamble, of Charleston, W. Va. While in Washington they were the guests of Dr. and Mrs. Geo. W. Cabaniss. Dr. Geo. W. Cabaniss, who has been ill for some time, is out and is himself again. The little indisposition has improved the doctor's looks as well as his health. ALEXANDRIA NEWS. The funeral services of Mr. Philip Johnson were held at Alfred Street Baptist Church Sunday, at 3 P. M. The deceased was one of the oldest deacons and an energetic church worker. He was one of our successful business men and had conducted a very profitable junk business in the city and county for a number of years. His demise was regretted, especially by the young people and most progressive people of the church owning to the fact that he was one of the most alert in his deliberations as a deacon and always stood ready and willing to work for the betterment of his church along all lines. He is survived by a widow and two sons. Rev. G. O. Dixon conducted the services. Interment was in Bethel Cemetery. Mr. Charles W. Preston is doing great work with his Epworth League at Roberts Chapel. Mr. Preston has engaged the services of some of Washington's best educators since he has started his autumnal series of services, and he promises many more good speakers during the remainder of the season. Mr. Wm. Napper was buried from Alfred Street Baptist Church at 1 P. M. Sunday. A choir selected especially for the occasion, under the efficient direction of Mr. Edgar J. Johnson, organist and choirmaster, furnished very appropriate music in a manner that would do many of the well paid choirs in the larger cities much credit. Rev. G. O. Dixon conducted the services. The remains of Mr. Philip Strother, late of Harrisburg, Pa., were brought to Alexandria for burial. The deceased was the husband of Mrs. Essie Madella Strother, formerly of this city. The colored Catholics of the city held a meeting at St. Mary's Hall, corner of Royal and Wilkes Streets, on Sunday afternoon and perfected plans for the erection of a church. Mr. John F. Parker, principal of Snowden Public School, Miss Katie Boarman, Mr. Thomas Blair, Mr. and Mrs. William Hawkins and quite a number of prominent Alexandrians attended, A large number of Catholics from Washington were present also. The meeting was a phenomenal success and a large amount of money was raised. There will be another meeting tomorrow (Sunday) at 3 P. M., at which time a large number of Catholics from St. Cyprien and St. Augustine Churches; of Washington, have been invited to attend. Mrs. Mary F. Brooks has returned from South Orange, N. J., where she has been visiting her son, Henry C. Brooks. Mr. T.

Church, preached the annual sermon to a few members of the order on Sunday evening. Mrs. Julia H. Hayes, associate deputy, and Mrs. Julia Mason Layton, ex-grand deputy, who were present, made addresses apologizing for the small attendance of the membership. The notice given was of such short duration that it failed to reach the organizations, and promised to have them present at a later date. Rev. W. C. Thompson, by special request, repeated the lecture "Niagara Falls," on Monday evening at Mt. Zion Church to an appreciative audience. HALL'S HILL, VA. Tuesday evening Rev. J. F. Williams, local preacher of this charge, went to Langley, Va., to preach for them in their revival services, now in progress. He was accompanied by Brothers Aquilla Walker and Robert Nickerson and others. The meeting was a spiritual one. All are invited. Friday afternoon Rev. Dr. C. E. Hodges was present with us and held quarterly conference at Calloway's M. E. Church. Those present were made to feel the joy of sacrifice in the service for the Master from the comforting remarks by him. He was later on accompanied to the car by the pastor. Sunday morning, on account of the heavy showers, some tardiness was the result, but, however, Sunday School began on time and was conducted with the usual interest and also a fairly good attendance. Being communion day at Calloway's Chapel, the district superintendent was scheduled to be present, but for some reason unknown to us, he failed to put in his appearance. However, the hour was very ably filled by the pastor, Rev. Queene, who preached a very impressive and stirring sermon, in which the people were exhorted to Christian activity and loyal service. The Sacrament was served, the table remaining clothed with its spotless linens, to be concluded at the night service, when the congregation was again honored by a hearty and well prepared sermon by the pastor, who used for his subject, "The Shepherd's Care for His Sheep." All of the services were well attended, including an unusually fine Epworth League, which was entertained with an excellent address by Mr. O. E. Harrison, of High View Park.

Anderson is being assisted by Mrs, Marian Mooney in the absence of Superintendent Hungerford and is making a very creditable showing. LAUGH AT HIS COURT Judge Latimer Says Children Regard His Work As Joke—Only $500 for Expenses—Remainder of $1,000 Appropriation Used to Heat Old Building—More Officers Needed—Probation System a Farce and Better Never Started, Says Head of Juvenile Institution. Declaring that the conditions in the Juvenile Court are a disgrace, and that the work as carried on is "nothing more than a bluff," Judge J. W. Latimer, of the court, last night addressed the meeting of the Franklin and Thomson Home and School Association, held in the Strong John Thomson School. He explained the needs of the court, the manner of conducting cases and compared the conditions here with those of other cities which he visited on his recent trip. "I wanted to buy some cards with which to keep an index of the children's cases," said Judge Latimer, "but was afraid to spend the six dollars necessary, for fear that I would overrun the appropriation allowed for running expenses of the court. We are allowed $1,000 a year by Congress with which to heat the building, purchase supplies and provide the necessities of the court. At least half of this sum must be expended for fuel, in order to heat the old building. Need Probation Officers. "We need more probation officers and need them badly. At present we have three officers, looking after 450 boys when they should at the most have but fifty each to look after. The probation system might better never have been started, as it is a farce. I have heard from a number of sources that the children regard going to the court as a joke. They say 'What do I care; they won't do anything but put me on probation.' "It costs the District $250 a year to keep one boy in the reform school. For the cost of keeping four boys in the institution I can secure the services of a good probation officer, who can look after the needs of fifty boys and save them. W. B. Patterson, supervising principal of the fourth division, addressed the meeting on "The Old Schools of Washington as Compared to the New," and Estelle Murrav, Freda Ring and Mrs. J. W Foxwell rendered musical selections. Officers for the coming year were elected by the association as follows: President, Mrs. Frank Turton; vice president, Miss S. A. Moore; secretary, Miss F. S.

BRAMWELL BOOTH VISITS AMERICA Here to Inspect Salvation Army Which He Heads. STORY OF HIS CAREER Expected to Make Peace With His Brother, Who Is Head of Rival Organization—Leader of Army Is Described as Man of Modern Ideas. Was Loved by His Father. New York.—General Bramwell Booth, successor to his father, the founder of the Salvation Army, has come into this country on his first visit as commander in chief of more than 100,000 "fighters for the Lord." The general went to Canada to inspect the posts in that country and then will return to New York to open a nation wide campaign at Carnegie hall on Sunday afternoon, Nov. 23. According to a statement issued from the national headquarters, "he will speak as the head of an organization with which he has been identified since his early school days; speak with the authority of one fully cognizant of all the important events in the history of the movement since he became his father's chief supporter and first aid." There is a lingering hope that the present head of the Salvationists, who is described as a man of modern ideas in army government, may come, to some understanding with his brother, Ballington Booth, head of the Volunteers of America. It is said that Ballington Booth has intimated a desire to meet his brother. General Bramwell Booth is in his fifty-seventh year. He was born at Halifax, England, in 1850 and was MISALVAXION ABO 1913, by American Press Association. GENERAL BRAMWELL BOOTH named William Bramwell Booth. In early years, in deference to the wishes of his parents, he dropped the William. His father announced the birth of this son in these words: "It is with feelings of unutterable gratitude and joy that I have to inform you that at 8:30 last night my dearest Kate presented us with a healthy and beautiful son. The baby is a plump, round faced, dark complexioned, black pated little fellow—a real beauty." "In her oldest son," wrote Commissioner Booth-Tucker some years ago, "Mrs. Booth presented the world with a ruler, an organizer and a financier of unusual capacity." At the time of Bramwell's birth the Salvation Army probably was a remote idea in the mind of his father, then a minister of the Methodist New Connection and known simply as the Rev. William Booth. Bramwell Booth was about ten years old when his father launched his evangelistic work at Mile End, which was followed by the Christian Mission and later took the permanent form of Salvation Army. Young Booth began at the bottom. Though he was his father's favorite son, he was not spared. He was disciplined in a school "as severe," says one biographer, "as either West Point or Sandhurst." In the general offices of the army he cleaned inkwells and performed duties usually assigned to a janitor. He studied theology under Rev. Charles G. Finner, an American. He developed a keen sense of the need of business capacity and busi- nesslike methods in the conduct of the material side of the army. Constant association with the field officer taught him that "the laborer is worthy of his hire;" that these men and women should have a decent living in return for their activities on the streets and in the houses of the poor. He is credited with revolutionizing the business conduct of the army. DESCRIBES SIGNALS FROM MARS. Geneva. - The Swiss astronomer, Locoultre, in making public the results of his researches concerning Mars which have continued for five years guardedly hints that the Martians have been signalling to the earth. He observed intermittent luminous apparitions resembling the light of powerful searchlights which appeared always in the same spots. CONVERTS ONE OF THE JAMES BAND Gole Younger, Famous Author, Joins the Church. WAS WOUNDED 28 TIMES. Pictured as Monster Criminal, He Maintains That He Was Guilty of but One Offense—Has Served Twenty-five Years In Prisqn—His Own Story of Conversion. St. Louis.-Cole Younger was once a name which inspired fear throughout Missouri, Kentucky and Kansas. It is the name of a man noted for his fierce fighting spirit, a man who carries the scars of twenty-eight bullet wounds received for fighting-first for a cause, inter for spoils. It is now the name of one of the most recent converts to Christianity gained by the Rev. Orville Edgar Hamilton, one of the leading figures of the Christian Evangelists of America. The conversion took place in an improvised tubernacle in Lees Summit, A. B. COLE YOUNGER. Mo., recently. The evangelist was assisted in the service by his wife and Mr. and Mrs. Charles Stuart. During the revival meeting, when the large audience was swayed to enthusiasm by the words of the preacher and the singing of Mr. and Mrs. Stuart, a giant of a man rose from his seat, literally lifted from her feet a little woman who stood near him, kissed her and walked forward. With the last word of the spoken acceptance Cole Younger, partner of Jesse James and of Quantrell, had come out in the open and embraced the faith whose tenets he has been quietly practicing for many years. "There is nothing wonderful in my conversion," said Younger. "I've led an adventurous, turbulent life. The war brought on hate and strife and killing. They murdered my father when I was a schoolboy and I was launched into a life of reprisals and shooting and rough riding, winding up with twenty-five years in prison. "Now, my folks were all Christians. I was brought up in a Christian home. I am an old man, seventy years old next January, and I have come back, by God's mercy, to the spot where I spent my childhood, to end my days. "To me, knowing my own soul, it is nothing. Why, forty years ago, when witnesses have testified that I was robbing banks and holding up trains in another part of the country, I was down in Texas teaching a Sunday school class. "The feeling has been growing strong upon me these last years that my mother's prayers were being answered and that God was leading me by the hand, and so I have just given my heart to him, and I feel that the sins of my past life are blotted out and that I am a child of God." Although he is pictured in "wild west" tales as monstrously criminal, he maintains that he was guilty-of but one offense and says his name, along with that of the James brothers and others, was connected with practically every bank robbery and holdup in the west for more than a decade. He admits that he was a member of a band which attempted to rob a bank at Northfield, Minn., of $60,000, said to have been obtained by Union soldiers during the civil war. He was captured three days after the attempt and served twenty-five years in prison. BULL DERAILS A TRAIN. Accident Occurs as Cattle Herd Is Crossing the Track. Olathe, Kan.-Ten cars of a St. Louis and San Francisco freight train was derailed when the train struck a bull weighing 2,000 pounds near here. The engine and tender passed over the animal without being derailed, but when the empty cars struck it they were thrown from the track. A herd of cattle was crossing the track when the train approached and three of the animals were killed. Spokane, Wash.-The Northern Pacific city passenger office received $10.70 in conscience money from Henry Peterson of Los Angeles, who appeared in person at the city office and paid R. S. Skinner the money for a ride from Spokane to Butte, which, he says, he stole twenty years ago. National Religious Training Schoo ```markdown ``` Offers superior advantages for the training of young men and women in many departments of work.

Department of Music DANIELS TO MAKE NAVY A SCHOOL OFFICERS ACT AS TEACHERS Dream of Secretary Is to Utilize Vessels and Equipment For the Mental, Moral and Physical Uplift of Enlisted Men—Electricians, Mechanics and Stenographers to Be Trained. Washington.—"It is my ambition as secretary of the navy to make the service a great technical university, whose doors will swing wide open to the youth of America. In my opinion every ship and every navy yard should be a school, and every officer of the navy a schoolteacher. In this way we can give to every young man who enters the navy a chance to better himself and fit himself for an honorable career in other walks of life and at the same time increase the knowledge, the usefulness and the efficiency of the personnel of the service." These are the words of Josephus Daniels, secretary of the navy, who said a few days ago that he confidently expected during the four years he is slated to be the head of the navy department to make the United States navy not only the greatest fighting organization in the world, but also the world's greatest school of technology. The dream that Mr. Daniels wants to realize is the utilization of the navy for the mental, moral, and phys- C ical uplift of the young men who enlist for the service afloat. He would make of them expert electricians, skilled mechanics of the highest type, wireless telegraph operators, artificers.. stenographers, shipfitters, and woodworkers. The secretary called attention to the fact that already there are in operation schools for the electrical training of 'bluejackets at the navy yards in Brooklyn and San Francisco. There is an artificers' school at Norfolk, Va., and a school for machinists at Charleston, S. C., while every battleship, every cruiser, and every torpedo destroyer affords a splendid field for the practical training of the sailor in almost any one of the great trades. But this is only a part of the plan that Secretry Daniels has evolved for the betterment of young Amer- THE NATIONAL RELIGIOUS TRAINING SCHOOL BURHAM, N.

This is house hat will satisfy you. men who serve their country on board men-of-war. If they are to be electricians, skilled mechanics, capable carpenters, reliable wireless men, Mr. Daniels considers that it is the duty of the officers of the service, whose advantages have been great, to teach them also to speak and write good English, to spell correctly, to know geography, and, if time permits, to take them into the realms of higher mathematics, and perhaps the classics. So it is that Secretary Daniels, who has fallen head over heels in love with his job and who has found the men of the navy, officers and bluejackets alike, to be clean cut and clean living, has determined that the navy shall be America's greatest school of technology—a school where any deserving boy, no matter how poor, may have a chance to better himself morally, mentally, physically. The president of this biggest of all the world's technical schools will be the secretary himself; its vice presidents will be the commanders in chief of the Atlantic, Pacific and Asiatic fleets; the principals will be the commanding officers. Then, of course, there are the great technical schools on shore, at the head of each of which is an officer of high rank and undoubted ability. Than these schools for the training of the electricians, mechanics and other skilled men needed for the navy there are none better in this or any other country. And it should be remembered that at each of these training stations there is a master of the sword, whose duty it is to see to the physical training of the bluejacket students. BAN TEMPERANCE BOYS. Abstainers Expelled From an Old University in Germany. Greifswald, Germany.—The expulsion of some students from Greifswald university because of their total abstinence principles has caused a sensation here. The university is one of the oldest in Germany, having been founded in 1456. The students, numbering about 1,000, were called together in June to attend a typical "beer evening" in celebration of the emperor's jubilee. Several abstainers protested and were reprimanded by the officials, who said the protest was an "incitement to action against academic customs." One of the abstainers criticised the reprimand and was sentenced to three days' confinement in the university dungeon. Further protests led to even more drastic steps, and two of the students were expelled. Go To HOLMES' HOTEL 333 Virginia Ave. S. W. Finest Afro-American Accommodations in the District.

Philadelphia—Bettina and Borneo, the orang outangs which had been educated by Dr. William Henry Furness of Wallingford so that they would pronounce simple words, are dead. By constant teaching Dr. Furness had hoped to demonstrate through education that the orang outangs really were the "missing link," capable of sustaining thought and doing almost everything of which a human being is capable. Borneo was eight years old, and Bettina was four, and both were as highly educated as children of the same age. Each knew the alphabet perfectly and could pick it out on lettered blocks. Borneo also could pronounce such words as "cup" and "papa," and Dr. Furness declares that his orang outings were proving gradually that they were capable of human reasoning. He valued the orang outings at $50, IREE CAWS FOR JIMCROWI 's Not So Black as Painted, Agriculture Experts Find. 'that the crow is not as black as he painted is the conclusion reached by parts of the department of agriculture who have examined several thousand craws of the desplised bird. An error was made ten years ago, the investigators declare, in spreading broadcast a warning against "old jimcrow." A report announces that the crow does more good than harm; he eats more pests than crope. His one besetting sin is devouring the eggs and young of other birds, but the contents of his craw prove that about nineteenth of his food consists of insects 1 other crop destroying creatures. Don't be too hard on the crow that awks about your farm," is the ada given by the department of agriculture to the farmer. EUROPE WITHOUT A CENT. Harvard Man Sails to Make a Living There on Ten Dollar Wager. ambridge, Mass.-Charles E. Mor- of Brooklyn, a Harvard junior, is nd to Europe with an empty pock- enook on a wager of $10, according to college friends, who say that he sailed on the steamer Laconia and expects to stay several months abroad, depending on his own efforts for a livelihood. "For 2 cents I'd work my way across to Europe," Morris is said to have told classmates a few days ago. One of them offered to bet $10 that Morris would not go, and the wager was ac- cepted. Washington.—The continuation of the policy adopted by the present government in the Philippine Islands of building extensive public improvements throughout the islands, schooluses, roads, bridges, municipal marits, water systems, ferries and light-g plants, is one of the problems which the advocates of immediate independence are finding difficulty in living. The present government, through the reau of public works, has established bilic improvements throughout the ands contributing to a marked exit to the prosperity which they now joy. These vary in cost from $250 $250,000, and 80 per cent of them constructed by the administration self, private contractors refusing tomit bids on the hazardous under- "The smallest number of active projects in any one of the regularly organized provinces inhabited by the Christianized Filipinos on April 1, 1913," says a statement of the bureau of insular affairs of the war department. "was three and the largest thirty-two. "Nearly one-half the total number was connected with road and bridge improvements. The list included ninety-six new schoolhouses and thirty-four municipal markets, public buildings, water systems, parks, ferries, an electric light plant and two telephone systems. "It has been said that, although current expenses have been cut to provide money for public works, it will take twenty-five years at the present rate to bring about the highway improvements needed today. These roads, the best of them being fully equal to any park roads in the United States, have been one of the great factors in the very marked increase of prosperity during the last few years. Hundreds of communities are in urgent need of schoolhouses, for which no funds are available, and it will necessarily be several years at the present rate of construction before the schools are at all generally housed in permanent buildings. Locomotive an Assault Weapon. Chicago.—William Newell, an engineer, was arrested charged with assaulting Cornelius Reagan, fourteen, with a switch engine. The boy was struck by the pilot and seriously hurt. It is the first charge of the kind ever entered in Chicago police records. The locomotive is termed a "deadly weapon." STORIES OF GOLD FROM ALASKA Shushanna Region Promises a Rich Yield. GOOD PAY; NO FACILITIES. Women Brave Hardships of the Frozen Desert—Motto, "We Should Worry." Expected That Fully Three Hundred of the Three Thousand New Settlers Will Spend Winter in Klondike. Seattle.—Word came out of Alaska on July 10 last that a new and startlingly rich gold strike had been made on the extreme upper reaches of the Tanana, a strike which might rival the Klondike in Importance. The new region was referred to as the Shushanna, though the geographies call the river Chisana, pronouncing the "ch" soft. The Seattle newspapers and the news gathering agencies adopted the word Shushanna, however, and by that name the region is now known. This new camp lies northwest of the famous Bonanza copper mine at Kennecott, the terminus of the Copper river and Northwestern railroad, and is reached by a very difficult, hazardous and trying trail over Scolal pass, 125 miles from the rail line. It can be reached by way of Dawson and by way of White Horse and White river, as well as via Cordova and the Copper river railroad. The three routes offer little choice in the matter of freedom from hardship. Immediately following the news of the strike a stumpede for the new diggings began. Most of those who went were seasoned prospectors and veterans of the north country. The number might aggregate 3,000. The number who actually reached the camp cannot have exceeded 2,000. Only 300 will winter there. Pay has been found on Bonanza, Little El Dorado, Gold Run and Snow Gulch. These streams are all tributaries of Wilson and Johnson creeks. two of the main sources of the Shushanna or Chisana river. The Chisana and Nabesna are the sources of the Tanana. The James claims yielded about 400 ounces of gold up to August last and the Whitham claims about 100 ounces. The total for the district for the season is probably in excess of $50,000, a small yield, yet most promising when it is considered that no one had more than a length or two of sluice boxes and but little water. The gravel is shallow up around the discovery claims and the gold coarse. Down the creeks the gravel deposits are deeper, and only the surface is thawed. There is but little wood near the scene of the discoveries, and, as steam plants will not be available until transportation is extended to the region, no frozen ground can even be prospected this winter. Discovery was made in June last by W. E. James, who had spent fifteen years on the headwaters of White, Shushanna and Nabesna rivers prospecting for quartz. Wonderful deposits of copper exist on all these streams, and both the Copper river and White Pass railroads have made extensive reconnoisances and surveys in this region. Henry Bratnoher and his agents have been active there also. It was copper and not the possibility of gold placers which attracted prospectors to the Shushanna region. Another man hunting the red metal was Carl Whitham. He was the second locater on the new placer field. He did not get started quite so early as James, and did not make so good as showing, the James ground yielding about $30,000 this season, while Whitham took out only $10,000. Other producing claims were those worked by Fletcher Hamshaw and Joe McLennon. It was an Indian who fold James that gold existed on the Shushanna creeks, high up above timber line. James, verified the report, and he and his partner were soon taking out the yellow metal. It was not an uncommon day's work with three men and two lengths of sluice box to wash up $1,000. A piece of ground two feet deep, eighty feet long and sixteen feet wide yielded 358 ounces of eighteen dollar gold, or more than $6,000. It was this phenomenal richness which started stampeders from all parts of Alaska to the scene, making one of the most interesting rushes of recent years. The trull requires ten days for experienced mushers to negotiate from the end of the railroad to the scene of the strike. Mrs. Grice Bostwick, who, with her daughter, was the first woman over the trail, writes of life in the new camp. She says: "One lives close to nature, for that is certainly all one has to live close to. Nerves are unknown, and livers are not objects of suspicion. Health stops at every campfire to call out greetings. The worries of outside life slip away. Bit by bit, very naturally, one drops into the Slwash way of existence—warm bed (of hemlock boughs on the ground), three good meals a day, plenty of wood for the campfire. Men are unshaved; every one is dirty. Skins are blackened by the sun and by the smoke of the fire. Sleeping close to the fire, many of the men's garments are half burned away. 'We should worry,' they say, and that is camp philosophy." A DOUBLE LEGACY. One Bequest a Lost Treasure of Gold and of Pearls. Boston.—A search for treasure in southern waters will shortly be undertaken by Roland P. Kelley, a Harvard junior, in compliance with the terms of the will of his grandfather, T. L. Kelley. The will provided that young Kelley should have the savings of his grandfather's fifty years of trading, as a ship master in the far east on condition that before his twenty-first birthday he should attempt to locate pearl fisheries in an estuary of the Amazon river and two uncharted islands in the Pacific. These islands, according to the will, were found by the old mariner to contain a large amount of gold and were discovered when he was in search of fresh water on one of his voyages. The pearls were seen on another voyage. The elder Kelléy made several attempts to organize expeditions to unknown islands, but was unsuccessful. $1,500,000 FOR PEACHES. Ozark Crop of 2,000 Cars Brings Good Prices. Springfield, Mo.-Carload shipments of Elberta peaches from the Ozark region practically have closed. A few scattering cars will be moved, but the bulk of the tremendous crop has been harvested. Fully 90 per cent of the shipments found a market at points east of the Mississippi river. One railroad has handled over 1,300 cars of peaches, and the consignments over other roads in the peach belt bring the total output to more than 2,000 cars. It is estimated that the fruit brought $1,500,000 to the growers. TO EUROPE ON STRETCHER. Polish Boy, With Broken Back, to Return to the Fatherland. St. Paul.—That he may see his mother and home in the fatherland once more Mike Wasuck, a nineteen-year-old Polish boy, suffering from a broken back and limbs, left for Warsaw. The lad will make the long trip on a stretcher, accompanied by Miss Lydia Keller, superintendent of a hospital where he has been for the last thirteen months. The boy was injured on Aug. 14, 1912, in a railway yard when a pile of lumber toppled upoh him. In a suit for damages he received $13,000. German Explorer Plans to Fly Over New Guinea. Berlin.-Lieutenant Paul Graetz of the German army plans to explore the island of New Gulnea by means of an airship. The cost of equipping his expedition is estimated at $750,000, and capitalists in Germany, Holland and England are being asked to interest themselves in the project. A semirigid balloon of the Farseval type is to be used, and it will be constructed at Malu, on the coast of New Gulnea. From that place, as a gas and supply station, flights will be made over the island, and it will be mapped, and its opportunities for commercial exploitation will be studied from points of vantage in midair. The island of New Guinea, which lies north of Australia and is separated therefrom by the strait of Torres, contains one of the few large unexplored areas on the globe. Great Britain claims one portion of the island, and Holland claims the other portion, but neither nation has done more than settle and develop the rich plains near the coasts. In the interior are wild tribes of savage head hunting Papuans, who have the reputation of eating one another and devouring every white man they can capture. In the interior are mountains, some of which rise 10,000 feet and are snow capped. The climate on the New Guinea plains is tropical. Kangaroos abound, but there are few wild beasts. A British and Dutch expedition attempted to explore the interior of New Guinea last year. They lost one of their number to the cannibals, and another of the party was killed by poisoned arrows. They scaled one lofty mountain. TRACE SHIP LOST IN 1788. Wreck of French Exploration Vessel Found in Pacific. Paris.—Some wreckage found buried with sand on the island of Vanikoro, in the Pacific, is supposed to be the remains of the Boussole, the vessel of the French explorer Laperouse, which sailed on a voyage of discovery in the Pacific in 1788 and never returned. An expedition which was sent out under Admiral d'Entrecasteaux to search for Laperouse, found no trace of the vessel, but the admiral always believed she was lost among the Santa Cruise group of islands. Vanikoro is one of these islands. Scalded to Death In His Bath. Cleveland, O.-Henry W. Judd, a wealthy retired business man and director in several local corporations, was scalded to death in his bathtub. His body was found by his wife on her return from church. HUMAN SENSES DULLED. Sir Gilbert Parker Says Modern Rush is Devitalizing Faculties. London—Is life being made so mechanically easy that some of our senses are losing their vitality and usefulness? was the question suggested by Sir Gilbert Parker in an address at the post graduate college of the West London hospital. A great many accidents, he said, were due to limited and inadequate observation. He knew a chauffeur who could see very well ahead of him, but if he wanted to see right or left he had to turn his head to the right or left. Every one knew that the trained and educated eye could see right or left without turning the head. It seemed to him that the very nervous excitement of the age was due not to the many stirring noises of the great city life, but to the fact that to the senses was given too little responsibility, or rather, less responsibility than in the olden days. Something ought to be done, if he were right. He believed that the boy scout movement was a step in the right direction. He should like to add to the boy scout training blindfold observation. Boys and girls should be let loose in fields and streets, under guidance, to feel and hear their way and memorize what they heard or felt. FINDS A MITHRAIC MARBLE. Professor Lanciani Uncovers Treasure Bensath Caracalla's Baths. Rome.—Senator Rudolfo Lanciani is having much success with the work which he is carrying on in and under the great baths of Caracalla. The baths are always yielding new things, and excavations are now proceeding in subterranean passages, which are found to be over three miles long and are expected to yield much treasure. The latest and perhaps the most interesting marble is a group of sacrifice to Mithras. A Mithraic temple came to light some time ago. The fragments show the group representing the god Mithras killing a bull, which was being licked by a sacred dog and a serpent, while a scorpion stung him. CONTINUE TO USE TYPHOID VACCINE U. S. Army Finds That It Does Not Increase Tuberculosis. Washington. - Announcement has been made that the inoculation of enlisted men in the United States army with typhoid vaccine would continue in spite of the fact that recent reports from the armies of France and England showed that men so inoculated were more susceptible to tuberculosis than those who have not been inoculated. This report from abroad aroused the war department officials, and an investigation based on official records from army posts was begun. This has convinced the United States authorities that, whatever the experience with the vaccine has been in France and England, it has proved most efficacious in this country. Colonel L. M Maus, chief of the medical corps of the department of the east, stationed at Governors island, said: "The inoculation of enlisted men in the United States army with the typhoid fever vaccine will continue to be compulsory, because it has been shown to be of great benefit to the health of the army. "Investigations of the reports that the inoculation of vaccine caused an increase in tuberculosis showed that there had been a decrease in tuberculosis in the United States army since the inoculation of typhoid fever vaccine began. The records of the army in the report made in 1912 of the conditions during the previous year showed a marked falling off in tuberculosis." BRIDEGROOM OF 80 TIRES. Saying Bride of Fifty-one Was "Too Old to Love." He Spoke Diverse Huntington, W. Va.—The romance of John W. Stroud, aged eighty years, and Jennie Stroud, fifty-one, his wife, has ended in the divorce court here after eight months of matrimonial misadventure. According to Mr. Stroud, there came a rift in the marital sunshine when his wife threw her clothes on the floor and declared that she was going to Cincinnati to live. He then sued for a divorce and declared that he made a mistake in not marrying a "younger woman," who was not too old to love. HIS STOMACH SENTENCED. Guilty of Stealing Eggs, He Is Forced to Eat Them. Marion, O.-Mayor Claude D. Walters struck on a novel method for punishing E. D. Brant, thirty, charged with stealing eggs. Instead of giving the prisoner a workhouse sentence, the mayor ordered Brant locked up in the city prison and to be given nothing to eat but eggs. He was arrested and held five days, when he was released, so thoroughly sick of eggs that he says they will be no temptation in the future. He is so sick of them that the sight of a hen gives him the stomach ache, he says. ```markdown ``` L. C. SMITH & Typewriter C. SMITH & BROS. Typewriter BEARING LONG WEARING Impement of the L. C.

BYARS House Manager of the Howard ‘Theater. Mr. Rufus G. Byars is the house manager of Howard Theater. He is the man who handles thousands of people weekly and when the house 1s taxed to its utmost capacity, Mr. Byars never loses his head. He is calm, gentlemanly and accommodat- ing and conducts the business of this large house under the direction and supervision of Mr. Thomas, the les- see, with case and dispatch. There is not a more popular theater man- ager in this city,” Rufus G. Byars was born in San Antonio, Texas, about thirty ycars ago. He graduated with high honors from the Fort Worth, Texas, High School, after which he attended the Prairie View State Normal School at Hempstead, Texas. He was appoint- ed, after coming to this city, in the Department of Commerce and La- bor, where he remained for five years. He did not like the confinement, so he decided to. make a change and take chances with that astute and suc- cessful theater manager, Mr. Andrew J. Thomas, as an assistant manager of the Howard Theater. As assist ant manager of the Minnehaha Thea- ter, in-a large degree he aided Mr. Thomas to make it a paying and successful institution, when .all oth- ers who followed them and managed it before them failed. Manager Thomas could not have selected .a mere genial and enterprising assist- ant manager, who stands today sec- ond to none in the management of theaters. He is a successful pupil of the lessee of Howard Theater.

This was the, first financial effort of the pastor since. he took formal charge of the church June 1, and the success with which: this effort was attended clearly charaéterized him as a financier of no ordinary ability, and that his generalship may be relied upon to direct the fight of the church against the bonded debt until it shall fade away like ice beneath the rays of a summer’s sun. . A new baptistery has been installed in’ the church which rivals the most modern of our day, beneath whose placid waters Dr. Taylor has buried many-a soul inf the name of the Fa- ther, Son and Holy Ghost. . This church has always been a prosperous one, but greater prosper- ity came with Dr, Taylor. He found it with cight hundred members. He added two hundred members in six months, making the membership at Present a thousand, The ‘financial condition of the church today is very good in that all current debts have been paid, the bonded debt has been reduced in two years in advance of the obligations of the mortgage, and still there are a few dollars left in the hands of the treasurer and in the National Sav- ings and Trust Company to the credit Jof the church, These are but a few of the many things that Dr. Taylor has wrought during his six months’ pastorate, but time and space will not allow us to enumerate further. Those who headed clubs in the church, through whose co-operation, coupled with that of the membership in its entirety, the pastor was enabled to have such a successful rally, are as follows: Presidents, Clubs and Amounts.

Before Chief Justice Clabaugh, in Criminal Court No. 1, Wednesday af- ternoon, Assistant United States At- torney Wm. Hawkins, addressing the court, stated that he was instructed by United States Attorney Wilson to enter a nolle proseque in the case, United States vs. Francis J. Cordoza, of the remaining two counts in the indictment, as the defendant had been tried and acquitted and the gov- ernment had no additional evidence to re-try him. : The order was granted and Dr. Cordoza left the court with his attor- neys, Messrs. Barker and Lambert. Dr. Cordoza will now be reinstated in his old position as orincipal of the Wilson School, from which he was suspended. Dr. J. W. Childs made the argu- ment for reinstatement before the full Board of Education, and at the conclusion of his argument the vote was unanimous. Dr. Childs made one of those old-time and convincing arguments. He argued that the ac- quittal of Dr. Cordoza was a vindi- cation of the race and the schools. There was not a dissenting vote. ——__—__. : GETS HER DIVORCE. Mr. Crandall Mackey Reprsented Mrs, Freeman. In the Circuit Court of Alexandria County, Va. on October 27, 1913, Hon. J. B.

Would Lift Up Colored Race. “Through the vote we will be ‘able to put an end to the degradation of the race,” said Mrs. Pankhurst, “and uplift not only the women, but the men as well, The degradation of fal. len men is far worse than of fallen women. The dominator“is always more degraded, than the slave. “We are always told the accident of birth should not give any man ar advantage over any other man. Bu when it comes to sexes, the more ig: norant and degraded man in my coun. try thinks himself naturally superio: to the most intelligent, cultured anc high-minded woman. “This is true not only in votes, bu in every walk of life. It is not th value of work, but sex that decide; the thing. In teaching, in business in everything it is the same., Ameri can men are being wise in time, ant taking matters by the forelock. ake are raising the status of the race Ms giving equality to women. They ar vreventing the growth of _ seriou: oroblems and of serious social evils + “Women ¢an make a better clair to citizenship than men if sobrict; and morality are counted as qualifi cations of citizenship, and they cer tainly should.” Mrs. Pankhurst urged the womer to remain nonpartisan.
