DEMOCRATIC RETALIATION. Reported Democrats Will-Punish Colored School Teachers—Their Activity Against Segregation to Result in Cut in School Appropriation—Is a Report That Will Arrest Attention of Colored People of This Community. Washington, Jan. 11. If a currently reported rumor is correct, the activity on the part of certain colored school officials and teachers here in the agitation against segregation in the government departments, and in raising the $3,000 fund which has been forwarded to New York with which to fight race discrimination, is to be met by a heavy cut in the appropriation by Congress, this year for the colored schools of this city. According to the report, prominent members of this Democratic administration, and Southern members in Congress will see that the school appropriation for the colored schools will be so cut as to make it possible, and necessary, to drop a number of teachers and those holding executive positions, and to limit the appropriation for new buildings or repair and improvement of old ones so as to seriously handicap the progress of colored schools here. This is the punishment, according to report, the Democrats will mete out to certain ones connected with the colored schools who have suddenly become active in antagonizing the national administration because of its segregation policy. How effective such a weapon will be remains to be seen. Only in the past four years has the appropriation for the colored schools here been an equitable division for building purposes, and this equitable division was due most largely to the energy and influence of Ralph W. Tyler. In some years the building appropriation for Colored schools had dropped to as low as five per cent of the total appropriation, when it should have been not less than one-third of the total appropriation. When Mr. Taylor was approached and informed of the niggardly provisions for the colored schools he at once took the matter up with the congressmen from his home city in Ohio, who was a ranking member of the House Appropriation Committee who forced through an appropriation for the colored schools equal to one-third of the total school appropriation. Two years ago, when the District Commissioners insisted on a cut in the appropriation for colored schools, Mr. Tyler took the matter up direct with President Taft, who wrote then Commissioner-Judson a rather pepper letter insisting upon an equitable allowance for the colored schools, and as a result the colored schools received an equitable share of the school funds, and provisions for a $500,000 high school now in course of construction. If the reported determination of the Democrats to punish the action of certain colored school teachers and those in an executive capacity for taking what they consider too active a part in fighting segregation in the government departments, it is possible that not only will the appropriation for the colored schools be so cut as to reduce, necessarily, the number of Colored teachers and officials, but to make it impossible to continue on in the building and completion of the new colored high school by failing to include the necessary appropriation for its completion. With the Democrats now controlling Congress, and the House Appropriation Committee having a majority of members who are rank Southern race haters, it is an easy matter to cut the appropriation for colored schools in committee, even if the present District Commissioners, who are also Democrats, and who make the recommendations to Congress for school appropriations, do make an estimate for an equitable appropriation for colored schools. It will be a serious thing if the colored pupils here are made to pay the penalty for the activity of colored teachers against segregation, but those who know the temper of this Democratic administration do not question that it will go to any extreme to humiliate and handicap the race. It is reported that some connected with this national administration will use the hurtful argument that colored school teachers and officials have no right to ask for large appropriations from the national government for the maintenance of segregated schools while actively engaged in opposing segregation in the departments; that if a bill was introduced in Congress to abolish colored schools in the District the very ones who are protesting against segregation in the departments would oppose it. This disingenuous argument, while farfetched, and simply a shield to cover a deep-seated opposition to the race, is reported, will be effectively used by Democrats with which to justify themselves before the country at large. Whether or not this reported threat held over colored teachers and officials, now very active in denouncing race segregation in the government departments will lessen their activity remains to be seen. There are many colored men and women here who believe that no price is too dear to pay for justice, and that the agitation must be kept up at any cost. In a very few weeks Mr. McAdoo, Secretary of the Treasury, will submit to Congress the annual estimate for appropriations, and these estimates will give the first line on what is to be the policy of the Democrats with regard to appropriations for the colored schools of this city. It is known that Mr. McAdoo favors segregation for the reason that he permits in his department, in spite of the protests of Mr. Villard and the race, and it is further known that the policy in his department is not to promote colored employees. Whether he will go farther and sanction a reduction of appropriations for the colored schools here by his recommendation remains to be seen. The report goes further and intimates that Howard University, which is sustained by government appropriations, will also suffer a cut for the reason that some of its faculty members and trustees have been rightfully active against segregation in the government departments. NOTES TAKEN BY THE WAY. "Which I would rise to explain, and my language is plain," the young men of Washington, D. C., are a cheap lot. When it comes to keeping up their end of the social game the girls make them look like a football beside that peak which Dr. Cook said he scaled, but didn't. I have observed this before, but the holiday season just closed has served to bring it once again to mind. The financial burden of entertaining the visitors, and withal of making life pleasant for the folks here at home, has been borne almost wholly by the girls. The boys, to be sure, have three dancing classes which gave dances during the holidays, but the dances referred to merely fell in the Xmas season as part of the regular scheme of eight dances held annually by each class, and the total cost of the eight dances is about $4.00 per man. Besides this splendid record I place the dainty little soiree given in Room 5, True Reformers' Hall, on the evening of the 27th of December. Never in my life have I been permitted to enjoy, meeting and dancing with so many pretty girls as were out that evening, nor do I recall that I have ever attended any social event more gratifying than the one referred to—and the cost of the whole thing was borne by three of our youngest belles. "Can you beat it, Lulu?" Of course the boys did something, and I am going to give them full credit for what they did. For instance, the boys did pay street car fare for the few places they went to without walking, and here and there a lad or so came across with forty cents for two seats in Howard Theatre for himself and one other person, and I have heard it sounded abroad M. B. ATTORNEY FONTAIN PEYTON Who was among the first Leading Negroes to declare for President Wilson and the only one in this city to contribute to the Democratic campaign fund, has been left out in the cold. All other Negro Democrats have been paid in full. that in some rare cases certain one-pound boxes of candy, paid for by divers lads, were actually delivered to some of the fair sex. I heard of one case where the boys chipped in 15c each to extend the time so that a dancing class could last one hour longer, and I am told there were one or two instances of chipping in by the fellows for some hot dogs, cocoa, etc., after accompanying the girls home from some event given earlier in the evening, which had been PAID For by the girls. Good for the boys; they are a gallant lot. They saw to it that the girls had male bipeds to dance with, and that, you must realize, is a whole lot. Even so, after giving the boys all they are entitled to, and throwing in a ton for good measure, I am forced to admit that the young men of Washington, D. C., when it comes to carrying their share of things social, are a cheap, snide bunch. And if anybody sneers that I too, am of the young men of Washington, D. C., my reply is this: I never yet feared to face the music, and I stand by the opening sentence in this article. JUDGE ROBERT TERRELL. The consensus of opinion is that Judge Robert H. Terrell, who is regarded as the most competent and the best judge the in Municipal Court will be reappointed by President Wilson, notwithstanding the attack and false charges of certain Negro Republicans and enemies of the Negro race. Ex-Judge Anson Taylor said to a Bee representative some few weeks ago that he is the best Judge in the Municipal Court. The opposition of a few colored men is inspired by jealousy, to which the President will pay no attention. There is a great deal of opposition. I note that the Upper Classmen advertised their Holiday Reception, and then did not give it at all. At least I am told that it was postponed, but of this I am not sure. Too bad. What a splendid organization the Council was when President Houston, hounded out of Howard University by the marplots of the Medical School, quit and turned it over to his successor. Alas, since then it seems to have fallen upon evil days. Never since its foundation has the Council of Upper Classmen advertised a reception. Instead, all its affairs have been so strictly invitational that even members of the organization were unable to secure cards for persons they were willing to see invited—though not always to their credit. Things have changed. One of the changes, as far as the Council is concerned, seems to be the regrettable rejuvenation of that Rump Parliament of Deans on the Hill. This measley outfit pulled itself out of the limbo of oblivion, sat and solemnly decreed that the Council of Upper Classmen should hold only one social event during the year 1913-14, and this, too, in spite of the fact that two events are called for the constitution of the Council, which constitution at the time of its drawing up was submitted to the President of Howard University and approved by him. By the time President Offord got through hob-nobbing with the Rump Parliament, working as he was almost alone, it is wonderful that he had energy enough left even to advertise a reception which for the good of the organization had to be postponed later. Rump Parliaments are all to the bad—as much so today as they were in the history of England—and Howard University, like other Washington interests, seems to have more than a fair share of such parliaments. The one in the Medical School is the worst I ever heard of, and the one on the Hill comes next. I beseech Allah to hasten the day when these Rump Parliaments hereabouts will perform the one meritorious act open to them and that is—to go out of existence. Respectfully JAMES C. WATERS, JR. Washington, D. C. January 7, 1914. $5,000 Dollar Will. Attorney C. S. Williams, of the local bar, left for New York Tuesday evening to represent the heirs in a five thousand dollar will case. JUDGE ROBERT TERRELL. The consensus of opinion is that Judge Robert H. Terrell, who is regarded as the most competent and the best judge the in Municipal Court will be reappointed by President Wilson, notwithstanding the attack and false charges of certain Negro Republicans and enemies of the Negro race. Ex-Judge Anson Taylor said to a Bee representative some few weeks ago that he is the best judge in the Municipal Court. The opposition of a few colored men is inspired by jealousy, to which the President will pay no attention. There is a great deal of opposition to the Judge, not so much for his segregation proclivities, but other reasons more serious. It is firmly believed that nine-tenths of the members of the bar are opposed to the reappointment of Messrs. Bundy and Callan. Judge Strider has made a most acceptable and competent judge, and it is hoped that he will be re-appointed. There are only a few colored men opposed to Judge Terrell, and these few are candidates for his place. If Judge Terrell is not reappointed no other colored man will succeed him. HOWARD PARK ASSOCIATION Commissioner Newman Compares Water System to Privately Owned Concerns—Neglect of Colored Residents Charged by A. F. Hillyer at Howard Park Association Meeting. Ownership by the District of Columbia of public utilities was advocated by Commissioner Newman in an address made last Monday night before an audience of colored men and women, composing the Howard Park Citizens' Association, meeting in the Church of the Redeemer, 8th Street near Barry place. His ideal of local government as a service for the people also was set forth. Illustrative of the benefits of municipal ownership, he contrasted conditions surrounding the water department and the privately owned utilities run for profit. He called attention to the fact that the purest, healthiest water in the United States was served in Washington plentifully, without any concern to the public regarding bond issues, watering of stock, payment of extravagant dividends or of excessive salaries to officials and hardly a thought of water rates. On the contrary, he said, the street railways, the gas supply and other privately owned public utilities were always subjects of general complaint. Causes No Worry. Not ten minutes have been spent by the Board of Commissioners since he has held office, he said, in consideration of matters pertaining to the water plant, while days and days have been consumed in the consideration of complaints and conditions surrounding private owned utilities. Referring to the fact that the public was strongly resentful of a thirty thousand dollar salary discovered to be the stipend of a gas official, he considered this resentment justified, as it came out of the pockets, of the gas consumers, and he pointed out that no such alarm was entertained regarding the salaries paid to the directors of the water plant. Government service for the people he outlined as a service in all departments of civic government, which would have the confidence of citizens so that they would turn to them for information and advice, just as they now did to the police department. The insurance department he would have to be a place where a citizen might bring his fire or life insurance policy and receive expert opinion upon its value and enlightenment upon its provisions. Only a small audience heard Commissioner Newman. The severe cold of the night kept many away, as was explained by the president, D. E. Wiseman. Mr. Newman was introduced by Rev. S. M. Newman, president of Howard University. Neglect of Colored Folks. A. F. Hillyer made response for the association. Giving assurance that the association and all it represented could be counted on to join in any plans for civic betterment, he took occasion to point out what he regarded as neglect of the colored residents of the section. "Our section has long been overlooked and neglected in many civic matters," he said. "We need more and better sidewalks, paved streets and better sprinkling and oiling of our dirt streets." The saloon and the unlicensed dance hall and club came in for denunciation. That the association was opposed to all such he gave his word. "We are opposed to segregation, whether it be in the government departments, the city government, in any of our places of employment, or whether it be that latest and most insidious undemocratic and unprincipial form of race segregation. I refer to the move to have Congress pass a law confining us to the houses we already occupy. "It is also, further, seriously proposed in another effort to humiliate us and drive from our aching hearts every hope that our position may at some time be better in this, our common country, to have a law passed to compel us to ride in "Jim Crow" street cars. "Now, Mr. Commissioner, these unchristian and undemocratic proposals are almost sure to come before you for approval or disapproval, unless the very shame of it shall compel their promoters to abandon them; and when they do come before you, please try to consider the human side. Please try to consider us. "We feel sure that you will disapprove all this crop of bills hostile to the colored citizens of the District of Columbia." Other Responses Made. Other Responses were also made by Assistant Superintendent of Schools Roscoe C. Bruce. Dr. Childs and Prof. George William Cook. R. A. Pellham gave a resume of the accomplishments of the association, but said two great things yet remain to be done—the opening of Harvard Park as a public park and the extension of W Street from Georgia avenue west to Florida avenue. Music was furnished by Mrs. Pelham and the church choir. A rising vote of thanks was tendered the Commissioner. STATE TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION To-Meet in Alexandria, Va., February 26th and 27th, 1914. The State Association of Colored Teachers will meet in Alexandria, Va., February 26th and 27th. President E. A. Long is sending out notices to all teachers in the State urging their attendance. An interesting program is promised. Among the speakers will be Dr. James H. Dillard, President Slater Board and the Jeane's Foundation; Prof. Roscoe C. Bruce, assistant superintendent public schools, of Washington City; and Dean L. P. Moore, of Teachers' College, Howard University. The Virginia teachers plan to visit the public schools of Washington. It has been suggested that a luncheon be tendered them at Armstrong Manual Training School. A Committee of the heads of some of the Washington schools are looking into the matter with a view of ascertaining what can be done in this regard. Booker Washington Married. Booker Washington Married Houston, Tex., January 4, 1914.—Booker T. Washington, Junior, of Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, and Miss Nettie B. Hancock, of the Deaf, Dumb and Blind Asylum, of Austin, Texas, were quietly married here at Houston, Wednesday, December 31. The groom, after the marriage, returned to Chicago, to resume his studies in pharmacy in the Northwestern University, and the bride returned to her work n Austin. JUSTICE J. BARNARD JUSTICE JOB BARNARD TO RETIRE FROM BENCH. Announces Intention in Address to His Comrades of the Civil War. Appointed Member of District Supreme Court by President McKinley Fifteen Years Ago. President Wilson will have an opportunity to name a member of the bench of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia next June. A vacancy will then occur by reason of the retirement of Justice Job Barnard, who reaches the age of seventy years and becomes entitled under the law to retire with full pay. Justice Barnard has served fifteen years on the bench and desires to give place to a younger man. Announcement of his decision to lay aside his judicial duties in June was made by Justice Barnard last Monday night in the course of an address delivered by him at the First Congregational Church before the Soldiers' Union. The judge served with distinction in that 73d Indiana Volunteers during the civil war and has actively retained his affiliation with his old comrades and it 'was to them that he made the first public statement of his intention to leave the bench. The news of the proposal retirement of Justice Barnard was received with deep regret both by his associates on the bench and by members of the bar generally, among whom he is held in high esteem. The announcement, however, was not unexpected, as the rumor was freely circulated last spring under a misapprehension that Justice Barnard would reach the age of seventy years in June, 1913. While the judge has not given any previous intimation of his intention, reserving the 'announcement for his old comrades in arms, persons close to him have known for several months of his inclination to give way to a young man. The announcement of a coming vacancy on the District bench will serve to arouse the friends of District lawyers of the Democratic persuasion to action in an attempt to obtain the position for a District man. While Justice Barnard is originally from Indiana, he has been a local resident for more than forty years. He came to Washington in June, 1873, and entered the office of the clerk of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia under Return J. Meigs, the first clerk. After serving three years in the clerk's office Judge Barnard began the practice of law, forming the firm of Edwards & Barnard. This firm continued until the elevation of Justice Barnard to the bench, in October, 1899. He has always been considered a local man, and it is the hope of the local bar that one of their number may succeed him. Two other members of the bench are accredited to the District of Columbia—Justices Anderson and Gould. Chief Justice Clabaugh is from Maryland, Justice Wright from Ohio and Justice Stafford from Vermont. Judge Barnard's Announcement. Speaking to his old comrades last night, Justice Barnard said: "I was appointed to office by President McKinley in 1899. I was the only aspirant for office who did not have a host of retainers urging my cause, and I was surprised when informed that the President's choice had fallen on me. On my asking him the reason, he said: 'You were mentioned as second choice by every delegation, and, besides, your record in the 73d Indiana Volunteers stood you in good stead.' "I have been on the Supreme bench of the District for fifteen years now, and I feel that it is time for the younger men. Nevertheless, as long as there are any of us veterans left we shall frequently meet and reminisce on former days. "The records of high positions are filled with the names of Civil War veterans. Besides five Presidents—Grant, Garfield, Harrison, Hayes and McKinley—there have been numbers occupying positions of trust and honor throughout the Union." Editor Chase Coming South Columbia, S.C.

POOR, BUT HAS FORTUNE. Owner of Big Diamond Can't Find Purchaser For His Stone. London.—An English diamond digger named Bowker has arrived in London with a diamond of the first water weighing 178½ carats, but he finds himself in the same position as Mark Twain's man with the $1,000,000 bank note. He has more wealth than hundreds of men to whom he has appealed, but he is unable to raise a penny on the stone. The diamond is an amber stone, perfectly clear and of undoubted value. It was found at Droogeveld, South Africa, and resembles the Kohinoor. There is no question that Bowker is the legitimate owner, but he cannot find a buyer. He has shown the stone to all the big London dealers; but, while they have all displayed keen interest, all have declined to purchase it on one pretext or another. The biggest diamond ever found, the Cullinan, discovered in 1905, welged 8,025 carats, or 11-3 pounds, until it was cut up. El Paso, Tex.

The rebel state government is operating the banks, the stores, the foundry, the brewery, the mint, the street car lines, all gambling conces slons, the railroad to Juarez and every other industry. Villa is preparing to reopen the old Falomir bank as a state bank with the confiscated Terrazas estates as securities and will issue paper money from the bank. All of the proceeds from street railway lines are going into the state treasury. Villa has ordered the Constitutional ist government to execute deeds giving the homes of the principal Huerta sympathizers in the city of Chihuahua to the rebel military commanders. Villa has announced that he will give the homes of Enrique Creel, Juan Creel, Juan Terrazas, Luls Terrazas, Jr., and Martin Falomir to his generals in the field and retain the home of Manuel Prieto for his own use. These homes were among those or dered confiscated by Villa, as well as that of Jacob Tuche, who is a subject of Turkey. Villa also distributed clothing, shoes and candy from the selzed Spanish stores among the poor of Chihuahua as a Christmas present from the rebel leader. A wireless tower is now ready in Chihuahua for operation on the roof of the cathedral, and a field wireless outfit is to be supplied to the rebel army so that communication may be established, with headquarters in Chihuahua. Rebel officials in Chihunhua claim to have evidence that the federal generals carried off much wealth when they evacuated and left for Ojilanga. They declare that the federal commanders reported to the City of Mexi co after all battles that none of their men had been killed and continued to draw pay for them all. They charge that General Mercado bought $200,000 worth of diamonds in Chihunhua city before leaving, as he could get them at very low prices because of the owners' fear of losing them to rebel looters. TOO HONEST FOR,CONGRESS. Ohio Representative Declares He Won't Run Again. Canton, O.—In announcing that he would not be a candidate for re-election Representative J. J Whitacre, Democrat, of the Eighteenth Ohio district, declared that "no man who wants to be intellectually honest has any business in congress. "All I've done since I've been down in Washington," Mr. Whitacre went on, "has been to sit around and try to look wise, and that's what any man has to do who isn't willing to barter his convictions for political expediency. "I can't stand that sort of business. I thought there might be a chance for an honest, wide awake, frank and open business man in congress, but I was quickly disillusioned." Too Much Culture "Aunt Penelope Wiggins." as every body called her, was visited one summer by a niece, a Vassar college graduate. Aunt Penelope was one of the most hospitable souls alive, but she was not greatly impressed by the superior learning of her young relative, and one day she freed her mind about her thus: "Talk to me about what a college education does for a girl! What do you suppose Matilda said to me the first day she came? She said: 'I'm so glad to meet you, aunty! You accent your name on the Aunty Penultimate, don't you?' Did you ever hear such nonsense? I had to tell her my name wasn't Aunty Penultimate, but Aunty Penelope, and I thought she would die a laughing!" BOY DIES AMONG "HEALERS." Lad Was Starved In "Holy Ghost and Us" Colony. Lewiston, Me.—Conditions at Shiloh. the colony of the "Holy Ghost and Us" society, are to be investigated again as a result of charges by Mrs Roland Whitium of Brunswick that her thirteen year-old brother, Haydon Jones, died of starvation at Shiloh. Mrs. Whitium alleges that while her brother was ill no physician was called and that no special treatment was given him except that he was put on a diet of corn mush, while two women "healers" prayed over him. The lad died on July 22. WOMEN TO FIGHT TAX ON INCOMES Dr. Shaw Urges Her Sex to Defy Assessors. SENDS LETTER BROADCAST. Declares That Proposition is "Taxation Without Representation"—Says Women Can Make Passive Protest by Declining to Aid Government and Withholding Information. Philladelphia. - Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, national president of the woman suffragists, has called upon all suffragists in America to follow her lead and refuse to give the assessors of the voting precincts in which they live an account of their personal property. By refusing such statements, Dr. Shaw says, the women of the country can voice their protest against a government which taxes women without giving them the privilege of voting. Her letter says: "To Unfranchised American Women: "The enactment of an income tax law has caused assessors to be more insistent in their demand that an accurate statement of all personal as well as real properties shall be listed and returned within a specified time in order that no property may escape the government tax collectors. "Here women may make their passive protest and decline to aid the government in levying taxes upon them by THE DEGREE OF MASTER Photo by American Press Association. DR. ANNA HOWARD SHAW. refusing to render an account of their property. In this manner we can show our loyalty to those who struggled to make this a free republic and who laid down their lives in defense of the equal rights of all free citizens to a voice in their own government. "A time has come when we may utter into the ears of an apostate republic the words of James Otis, that great champion of liberties of the colonists, when he wrote: 'The very act of taxing over those who are not represented appears to me to be depriving them of one of their most essential rights as free men, and if continued seems to be in effect an entire disfranchisement of every civil right. For what one civil right is worth a rush after a man's property is subject to be taken from him at pleasure without his consent? If a man is not his own assessor in person or by deputy his liberty is gone or he is entirely at the mercy of others.' "Let our protest be universal and let every believer in justice unite in this mode of passive resistance and steadfastly refuse to assist the government in its unjust and tyrannical violation of its own fundamental principle that 'taxation and representation are inseparable' and thus prove ourselves worthy descendants of noble ancestors who counted no price too dear to pay in defense of liberty and equality and justice." GREAT RAT KILLING BEE. One Terrier Kills Two Thousand In Farmers' Five Weeks' War. Findlay, O.—A five weeks' rat hunt in Union township ended when the 213 men and boys engaged in the contest produced 10,336 rat tails, which were counted by judges. The losers in the contest gave a dinner for the winners. One of the most remarkable figures in the slaughter was a small rat terrier owned by J. M. Hartman. More than 2,000 tails were taken from rodents killed by the terrier, which made a record of thirty rats in one shack of corn. Another township hunt is on, and it is believed that when the series of contests has ended 50,000 rats will have been killed in Hancock county. A Reminder From Carnegie.

TO POLE BY AEROPLANE. Shackleton Will Have Sledges Drawn by Airship. London.-The keenest interest is felt in the news that Sir Ernest H. Shackleton, who already has written his name indelibly on the antarctic roll of fame, is about to lead another British expedition to the south pole. The main object of the expedition will be to cross the antarctic continent from sea to sea, making the south pole the halfway house on the great journey and thus at one stroke recover for Britain the prestige and place in polar exploration that were hers till four years ago. This will be the biggest polar journey yet attempted and will open up in the Weddell quadrant a vast unexplored region which is still blank on the map. It is notable that no attempt to reach the south pole has yet been made from Weddell sea, the point of departure for the new expedition, all other journeys having been made from Ross sea, on the other side. The distance from sea to sea that will be covered is roughly 1,700 statute miles, of which more than one-half will be over an entirely new route. BOYS CLUB TEACHER. Principal of Tennessee School Rescued by Women. Memphis, Tenn.—Five young men, students of the Victory Consolidated school, are under arrest on the charge of having assaulted their teacher, Professor Willis Mills, principal of the school, with clubs. Professor Mills sustained a fractured arm and other injuries. During the encounter Misses Blocker and Cranford, teachers at the school, bravely came to the assistance of Professor Mills and defended him as best they could. The young women hurled themselves in front of their principal and prevented to some, extent the further use of the clubs. After Professor Mills had been felled Misses Blocker and Cranford carried him safely inside the school building, locking the doors on the attacking party. They summoned help by telephone, and the trustees and several physicians hastily responded. Professor Mills in a statement declares it his belief that a plot existed to murder him. DOG MOTHER'S BARK KEEPS LIONS AWAKE Scotch Collie, However, Brings Up Husky·Cubs. Pittsburgh. — Working as a mother, nurse and governess to a pair of busky young lionesses with bad tempers, Kate, a Scotch colle, has been leading a dog's life of it for some time and is about to relinquish the "Job." Ernst Tretow, head keeper at the Highland park zoo, says that she has done her duty well and will be discharged soon. Her bark has terrified the young lionesses more than their already healthy roars impressed her. Of late she has been making so much noise that she must be taken out of the lion house. Her barks have got on the nerves of the adult lions and lionesses, and they can't get enough sleep. The lionesses, born of General Cronje and Martha Washington, are called Emmeline and Gaby. They were taken away from the mother because of the habit captive lionesses have of destroying their young. Kate was put in as a substitute and immediately won the respect and fear of her charges. DEAD MAN HER COMPANION. Woman Alone With Body All Night on Drifting Launch. Miami. Fln. - After having been adrift for twelve hours in a small launch, which she was unable to manage, Mrs. M. E. Bearce, a tourist from St. Louis, was rescued. In the boat with the woman was the dead body of her companion, George D. Smith, who in the early nineties was a restaurant keeper in Fourteenth street, New York. Shortly after the couple started out for a boat ride the engine became stalled, and while working over it Smith dropped dead from heart disease. Mrs. Bearce knew nothing about running the boat and drifted about in the darkness until her cries were heard by fishermen. She is in a critical condition as a result of her experience. CAN'T READ OR WRITE. Yet This Ohio Man Is In Prison Convicted of Forgery. Columbus, O.—Although he can neither read nor write, Jerry Norman was received at the Ohio penitentiary to serve a sentence of one year for forgery. Norman was tried and convicted of the crime in Dayton several months ago, but he was released on probation. Reports were received at the state prison to the effect that Norman was again practicing the art of forgery, but Record Clerk Bishop was inclined to doubt the stories, knowing of Norman's educational shortcomings. Probation Officer Rarey was sent to investigate and found that the reports against Norman were true. The prisoner used a rubber stamp to affix signatures. --- BROOKLYN TABERNACLE BIBLE-STUDY-ON THE GOOD SAMARITAN. Luke 10:25-37—Jan. 18. "Thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself."—Mark 12:31. UR Studies since the first of the year relate to the last six months of our Lord's ministry. Jesus knew that His death was approaching; that He must, as the antitypical Passover Lamb, be put to death the following Spring, on the fourteenth day of the first month. His ministry had only begun to awaken the people. The seventy, whose ordination, or commission, we considered a week ago, were sent across the Jordan into Perea. Shortly afterward, Jesus Himself went thither. The purpose of His ministry was to thoroughly awaken the Jews to the fact that the time of their visitation had come. This witness bore fruit—after Pentecost. Later, the seventy returned, expressing joy and confidence, remarking that even the demons were subject to them in the Father's name. The Master took occasion to tell them that they overlooked their chief cause of joy, saying, "Rejoice, rather, that your names are written in Heaven"—than that demons are subject to your command. So it is with us. Salvation is a personal matter, and works and preaching are merely incidentals connected with it. The great time for works is future. Then, if faithful, we shall be associated with the Redeemer in His work of regenerating humanity. Who Is My Neighbor? At this point today's Study opens. A lawyer thought to entrap the Master by asking, "Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" In those days, when Israel's only law was God's Law. a lawyer was one well versed in Moses' teachings. Jesus therefore sald. How do you understand the matter? You know what is written in the Law. A The Doctor of Theology replied. We are to love the Lord our God with all our heart, with all our soul, with all our heart, with "Who Is My Neighbor" all our soul, with all our strength, with all our mind; and our neighbor as ourselves. Jesus approved, saying, Do this—keep the Law, and you shall live. You will never die. The lawyer was caught. He knew that the people of Israel had been dying for centuries, notwithstanding the Law; yet himself and others were outwardly claiming to keep the Law. Out of his own testimony Jesus showed him that he was not keeping the Law, as he and the Pharisees in general pretended to do. No fallen man can keep God's perfect Law; for it is so comprehensive that only a perfect man could keep it thoroughly. The lawyer sought to make the best of a bad argument. Instead of acknowledging his defeat, he asked, "Who is my neighbor?" This was one of the points which Jesus had particularly made against the Pharisees—that they were outwardly plous, religious—prayed, fasted, etc.; yet in heart they were unjust, and took advantage of widows and orphans, not loving these as themselves. The lawyer sought to imply that according to God's law only certain special ones were neighbors. Should Do Good to All as We Have Opportunity. Jesus again outgeneraled him, saying, I will give you a parable. A man going down to Jericho was beset by thieves, who wounded him and left him half dead. There happened that way a priest, one of the highest representatives of the Law. When he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. Likewise a Levite passed by, next in relationship to God's service. He went near, looked at the man, but did nothing. Then came along a Samaritan, who bound up the wounds, took the man to an inn, cared for him at the sacrifice of time and strength, and finally paid for his keep until his own return from Jerusalem. Now, said Jesus, which man acted the neighbor's part? The lawyer answered that it was the one who showed mercy. Jesus replied that this replied that this should be an example to the lawyer—that he should be kind, thoughtful, generous to whoever needed help. ```markdown ``` We do well to remember God's object in giving commendments. He does not take pleasure in the number of times we how knee or Then Came a Samari- tan number of times we bow knee or head or render formal worship. He especially delights to see us cultivate His own spirit of love, kindness and generosity. Well does the Apostle tell us that love is the fulfilling of the Law, and that love is the principal thing in character, in Divine estimation! All else counts for nothing in God's sight. Evidently the great lesson for Christians to learn is to put away all anger, malice, envy, hatred, strife, and to put on meekness, gentleness, long-suffering, brotherly kindness, love. St. Peter tells us that if we do these things we shall never fall, but that an abundant entrance shall be granted to us into the everlasting Kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ—2 Peter 1:10, 11.

It is reported that Mr. Robert Pellham raised the point that a quorum was not present, there being but 41 members out of a total of 100 membership. The chair sustained the point, and declared no quorum present, but continued on with the election. The friends of Mr. Grant Lucas who had intended presenting him as a candidate but did not because of a lack of a quorum, say that they will bring up the matter at next meeting and have the election of last Friday night declared null and void. Mr. Smith Wormley was elected president at the last meeting. No fault is found with Mr. Wormley, and the only regret on the part of his friends is that a quorum was not present so that there might have been no question about its legality. Mr. Wormley's friends claim he can easily be elected by a vote of five to one when the full membership is out. Mr. Lucas' friends, on the contrary insist otherwise. If the election of last Friday is declared null and void there are many who fear it will disrupt the club. There was no contest for the other offices, in fact it is stated no one would run, and it was necessary to re-elect old officers, when incumbents showed a willingness to serve. Dr. C. Summer Wormley refused to stand again for treasurer, and William Haynes refused another election as financial secretary. Nobody would take the corresponding secretaryship because it is sort of an arrant boy position, and it was necessary to keep in the willing to serve incumbent. It is rumored the Lucas forces will attend the next meeting in numbers to see that a new election is held. In the mean time those who have interests of organization at heart will endeavor to smooth over the trouble and prevent reopening of the election for the good of the organization. The Bee would suggest to its good friend Mr. Lucas, to make Mr. Wormley's election unanimous. ELKS' RECEPTION. A Brilliant Affair—Good Speeches. Last Tuesday evening Mr. John H. Banks tendered a reception to the Exalted Ruler, J. Frank Blagburn, of Columbia Lodge of Elks and his cabinet, in his beautiful house, 1031 Twenty-second Street, Northwest to those who have been honored with an invitation to one of Mr. Banks' affairs, it needs only to be said that he took a special interest and personal pride in this and excelled all former efforts, and set a pace for the social season that can only be followed but not surpassed. All of the decorations, including the beautifully arranged table formed an harmonious picture that beggars description. In the center of the floor was placed a stand, decorated with the Elk colors, flanked on each corner by bottles of wine of the finest vintage, surrounded by dainty cut glasses, the whole surmounted by a clock, pointing to that mystic hour of eleven around which flows all that is dear to the hearts of Elks, an appropriate setting for the eleven o'clock toast. The response given by the Exalted Ruler will become a classic in Elkdom. Toasts were given by W. H. Simms, A. W. Beckett, O. D. Morris, Thomas Bass, E. W. Bundy, J. N. Anderson, I. E. Williamson, of Iowa; John E. Collins was toastmaster. Others present were W. H. Toliver, Sampson Morse, Wm.

"It is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you"—Matthew 10:20. MINISTERIAL ordination has for centuries been a bone of contention. Indirectly it has led to bloody persecutions. Thank God! those days are gone, so far as the majority of Christians are concerned. And yet, because the masses do not clearly understand the subject of ordination, there is always danger of a recurrence of persecution along this line. All denominations have shared in persecutions based upon misconceptions of ministerial ordination. Ordination does not relate to a ceremony, or form, as many suppose. It signifies an authorization, a commission, to preach. Baptists, Presbyterians, Lutherans, Methodists, etc., so commission those who agree with their creeds. But Roman Catholics and Episcopalians claim an ordination from God—that all bishops are successors to the Apostles and armed with Apostolic authority; hence that any not ordained by their bishops have no right to preach, but are heretics. From their standpoint, all other Protestants are preaching without authority. Apostles and armed with Apostolic authority; hence that any not ordained by their bishops have no right to preach, but are heretics. From their standpoint, all other Protestants are preaching without authority. But the spirit of tolerance is growing. Within the last two years Epacopallans have lifted the embargo on other Protestants to the extent that their ministers may exchange pulpits with those of other denominations. The right thought of ordination is presented in today's Study. Jesus had already appointed twelve to be His special Apostles; and now He ordained, or appointed, seventy more, not to be Apostles, but to be missionaries. There was no ceremony connected with their appointment, or ordination, so far as the record shows. Jesus simply sent them out, telling them what to say. Strictly speaking, the Apostles had not yet received the Holy Spirit directly. The Father's Spirit had been imparted to the Son, who shared that Spirit with those sent to preach in His name. The Father did not directly recognize, authorize, or ordain any of the Church to preach, until Pentecost. The forty years which closed the Jewish Age, ending A. D. 70 with the destruction of Jerusalem, was the Harvest period for typical Israel. It witnessed the gathering into the Gospel garner of all the true wheat and the setting aside of the chaff in a time of trouble, symbolically called fire The Lord (Matthew 13) intimates that in the end of this Age there will be a similar Harvest. Many believe that it began in 1874 and will end in 1914. The Lord's faithful ones at the close of the Jewish Age were to recognize the great privilege of engaging in the Harvest; and this must be true now. Jesus compared them to inoffensive lambs, while the selfish, unregenerate world He pictured as wolves. He would not have them beg from house to house, but inquire for the most worthy in every village, and, if received, remain there until they had witnessed in that village. They were to depend wholly upon the Lord for their wants. Later, He sent forth His disciples, telling them to provide to the best of their ability—implying that their first experience had been a special one, to teach them reliance upon Power Divine. The Master's Spirit was given them in such measure that they could heal the sick, cast out devils, etc. We are not to understand that there is such an authorization of the Lord's people today. Conditions have changed. The healing of spiritual sickness, blindness and deafness "greater works than these" is today the privilege of the Lord's people. The disciples' one Message was that God's Kingdom had come nigh. God's Kingdom had been awaited by Israel for centuries. But when it was presented, only a small number were ready to receive it. Thereafter the Kingdom offer was taken from them, and since has been given throughout the world, gathering the Elect, to be Ordaining (Sending Forth) Disciple. The Master referred to His mighty works in Capernaum, Bethsaidn' and Chorazin. These cities were figuratively said to have been exalted to Heaven in point of privilege; and having rejected the Lord's favors, they would be cast down to the grave. Examples were given of Sodom and Tyre, both of which were in ruins—brought down to Hades. Our Lord intimates, however, that their trial, or testing, or judgment, which His preaching had given was not a finality—there would be a future judgment. According to St. Paul, the entire Millennial Age is to be a thousand-year Judgment Day, in which the whole world will have a full opportunity of coming to a knowledge of God. (Acts 17:31.) Nevertheless, those who heard Jesus unmoved had hardened their hearts, and would be disadvantaged in the Judgment Day. Concluding, the Master declared that whoever despised them despised Him and the Father. This is undoubtedly true of all whom the Lord has ordained and sent forth. GEORGE USURPER THIS QUEEN SAYS Claim That Marla Teresa's Title to Throne Is Better. Still Maria is Happy With Her Bavarian Throne and Title—Her Eldest Son is Now Forty-four Years Old. No Other Royal Family is Richer Than This In Romantic Legends. London—Occasionally a letter passing through the British shall bears another stamp along with the usual one. The customary one, which has on it the picture of King George V., is placed upside down, and the other occupies the normal position. The stamp of King George is the one which assures the letter's delivery, but the other to the knowing clerk is an unmistakable sign that the sender belongs A. MARIA TERESA, QUEEN OF BAVARIA. to those who denounce the present reigning family as illegal and maintain that the throne belongs to a certain old woman who now shares another throne with her husband, for this extra stamp bears the picture of Maria Teresa, now queen of Bavaria. The recent change of rulers in the little kingdom of Bavaria, when the diet removed the insane King Otto from the throne and called as his successor Prince Ludwig, formerly the regent, brings to mind once more that contention against the legitimacy of the enthroned British dynasty. It announces that there are still Jacobites who persist that the rightful ruler is this wife of the Bavarian king, who is also a direct heir to the regal state of Charles I. of England. But if these legitimists do now and then assemble to drink toasts to Queen Mary IV, and do use their own postage stamps, thus proclaiming themselves traitors, nobody in England worries and nobody outside the empire knows such a party exists except as a memory arises from history book days or when, as now, attention is attracted to one involved in this contention. Year by year those who give allegiance to Maria Teresa as the rightful queen of England become fewer. Long ago the Jacobites ceased to trouble the minds of those who wear the crown. To all but themselves the whole matter has become little more than a romantic idea. Now that Maria Teresa wears one crown it cannot but mean a shadow to the enthusiasm of those who decorate the statue of Charles I. on the anniversary of his execution. It makes still more remote any chance that this descendant of the behended monarch or any others who may come after her will ever wear the British crown. She and her husband are firmly fixed on the throne of Bavaria. Their oldest son, Prince Rupert, is now forty-four years old and popular among the people. He, too, has a son, a bright, handsome little fellow, twelve years old. Thus the line reaches unbroken generations into the future. But yet the Jacobites have hopes. Eagerly they watch the marriages and births in this Stuart line, hailing each new arrival as king or queen or heir to the throne, and eagerly, too, they watch the Hanoverian line, hoping that some breach may appear and they be given a chance to gather their strength and force their own "ruler" into his or her "rightful" place. Among us there are few who pay any attention to the study of lineage, but ancestry is too important a thing with kings and queens to be passed over lightly. So it is that the legitimists are able to trace the blood of their Queen Mary back through all the intricacies which come at last to Charles I. And, too, it is equally important to them in an opposite way that they can trace the descent of George V. through the Hanoverian line to Elizabeth, a sister of Charles I, and daughter of James I, which makes the descent of this line one degree more remote than that of the Stuarts. Among all the royal families none is richer than this one of the Bavarian queen in its romance, legends and bewildering claims.

PLANS FLEET OF DIRIGIBLES. German Inventor Would Carry 300 Passengers Across the Atlantic. Vienna.-The German airship inventor, A. Boerner, is here trying to raise capital to finance a line of transatlantic dirigibles, each capable of carrying 300 passengers and of crossing the Atlantic in fifty hours. French experts state that the new airship certainly is the most practicable yet designed for long voyages. The inventor says it will bring Vienna within sixty hours of New York. The ships are to be as luxurious as the imperator, with a length of 800 feet and a width of eighty. There are to be 300 cabins, dining and smoking rooms, a promenade deck, kitchens and electric lights. Built in a semi-rigid car running the entire length of the ship will be thirty-four motors of 150 to 200 horsepower each, so arranged that no ballast will be carried. Engine breakdown or explosion will be theoretically impossible. Three separate gas bags in a single envelope will lift the ship. The ship will be able to make a nonstop flight of 4,000 miles at an average of sixty-eight miles hourly, landing without external aid. It can descend on the water, along the top of which it can travel thirty-five miles hourly with no danger of a wreck. Boorer is trying to raise sufficient money to build six ships, requiring $5- 000,000. HOW.MANY TOES ON TURKEY? The Question is a Puzzler In Smith County, Kan. Smith Center, Kan.-The number of toes possessed by a normal turkey remains a matter of conjecture in the district court of Smith county. Two men were before the court charged with stealing seven big gobblers and hens from a neighbor. The plaintiff identified his fowls by holes he had thoughtfully made in the web between the toes with a harness punch. "How many toes has a turkey, anyway?" asked counsel for the defense. The plaintiff had never counted them. One witness guessed four, another guessed three, and a poultry dealer of twenty years' experience admitted he did not know. SCOURGE OF LEPROSY IS ON THE INCREASE There Are Now 700 Victims Isolated In Hawaii. New York—Leprosy is on the increase, according to the statements of various scientists studying the disease in different parts of the world. In Paraguay the number of cases doubled within ten years, says Dr. J. W. Lindsay, an Englishman. There are 600 lepers at Malokal, in Hawaii, and 100 isolated in Honolulu. The last quoted report of the disease in the United States places the number of leprosy cases at 146. In German East Africa the disease is on the increase. Dr. Albert Serra of the University of Cagliarl, Sardinia, says that many more leprosy cases exist in Sardinia than the statistics record. Most of the lepers of Hawaii are isolated on the fertile peninsula of Molokal after they have been subjected to six months' observation at the Honolulu hospital. Much freedom is allowed them in Molokal. They are allowed to marry and to live with their wives in separate cottages. Children are not allowed to remain with an infected parent, however. The question whether leprosy may be inherited is yet an open one. Dr. Marcus Rabnowitch of the Karkoff hospital, who has conducted researches through several years with the blood of lepers, is authority for the statement that there exists in the blood of all lepers he has examined a distinctive THE NATIONAL RELIGIOUS TRAINING SCHOOL DURHAM, N.

Georgetown, Del.-Lost a year ago. a gold watch owned by Wilfred White, a Georgetown merchant, was found by the owner after it had hung in sight of many persons for a year without being discovered. After White had been gunning last year with a number of friends he found he had lost his watch and fob. He retraced his steps through the whole day's trip, besides advertising, unsuccessfully. Recently White and the same party took a similar trip through the same section. The lost watch was found hanging on a twig. It was in good shape and as soon as, it was wound began to keep good time. POVERTY NEAR GEM MINE. Almshouse Property Adjoins Arkansas Diamond Diggings. Murfreesboro. Ark.-Diamonds and poverty do not go hand in hand in most parts of the world, but here in Pike county, the home of the only diamond mines of any size in the United States, the greatest of chums are the county poor farm and the diamond bearing property. All that separates the county farm from the diamond property is an imaginary line, on one side of which is supposed to be wealth, on the other side poverty. But to Aunt Polly Cox, the only inmate of the county farm, there is no wealth and there is no line. PRINCE TO ENTER ARMY. Charles of Roumania to Complete Military Training In Two Years Military Training In Two Years. Berlin.—Prince Charles, eldest son of the crown prince of Roumania, will enter the German army on Jan. 1 as lieutenant in the First Foot guards at Potsdam to complete his military education. The prince, who is twenty years old, is to remain with the regiment two years. King Charles of Roumania, who is a Hohenzollern prince and was born at Sigmaringen, Germany, always has had a high opinion of the German military system. The Milk In the Capparrot South Africa natives along the Orange river have a way of producing "milk," which, primitive as it is, vies in ingenuity with the method of those who believe in the synthetic production of what the journalist, hardup for a synonym, has been known to call "the lacteal fluid." After cutting the top from a cocoanut, the native places the nut over hot ashes, so that the warmth may cause the fat and "butter" contained in the husk to be absorbed by the milk. This changes the milk's quality and gives it a palatable taste. In order to deal with several nuts at a time the natives construct rough "holders" from old iron hoops The ashes are placed under the grating and the nuts set in it. Obviously there must be no actual fire beneath the nuts or they would be burned away and the milk be lost.—Argonaut.

BIRMINGHAM. | Ala.—Not onl: the Ieter which Bishop B'S. Wit liams has written to the Birmingham Reporter praising a former presiding elder has stirred up a hornet's nest fn the rank and file of the church, hut the recent appointment of Rev. Dr, W. Hi, Nelson, to. the pastorate ot Israel Colored, Methodist Episco- pal Church, Washington. D.C. Brought down on the. distinguished prelate the condemnation and cen- Sure of a largg element of church people. = Te will be remembered that Nelson was expelled from the ministry and from the membership of the Method- ist Episcopal Church on charges of gross immorality. He is known to fave been refused admittance in the Ainican Methodist Episcopal - Zion Church, and also that Thirgood Me- mrotial Church, under the pastorate ot cood Di, Dinlans i is star MOD ee _ as ~ ted, refused to accept his member- ship. It is also understood that an- other church refused to accept him. Whether he joined the annual con- ference at Anniston is not definitely Known, nor how he joined. His eli- gibility to assignment to an impor- tant charge in the connection is se- riously questioned by many in the church, who declare that if accepted at all, he would have to come through all the various channels and study that other ministers have come and cannut understand by what in- fluence this appointee, discredited and disowned by other connections, should be given one of the best charges in the church over the heads of ministers who have worked _faith- fully for years in the upbuilding of the Master's cause. = Expelled by M. E. Church. | It is known that he was tried on {a serious charge and expelled by the {Methodist Episcopal Church. It, is | held’ that in taking him up and giving him a good appointment Bishop Wil- liams ignoted the Episcopal courtesy due Bishop Thirkield, who _ presides over the Alabama Conference of the Northern Church. ’ It is also held that in accepting hin flafter the \frican Methodist Zior >| Church is declared ‘to have refusec him the Bishop has violated an agree -|ment entered into tentatively by th Federated Bishops Council of th theee Negro Methodist Churches it their first meeting in Washington anc -| ratified at the Mobile mecting. .| These incidents are declared by jmany who are in position to know t |be at variance with Bishop Williams ~| known attitude with reference to th wlininistry. Some declare that Bisho; t| Williams is placing himself in the at s|titude of using the C. M. E.

MILLARD. He Denies His Child—Court Holds Him to Pay His Wife and Child Five Dollars per Week Until Case Is Settled. Dr. P. McDonald Millard, former- ly of Demerara, and who was mar- ried to Miss Hattie Thompson in the city of Philadelphia, Pa., 1910, charg- ed in the Juvenile Court. Monday, January 12th, with'not supporting his wife and child. His attorney, L. M. King, Esq., asked for a postponement on the ground that Millard denied that he was the father of his wife's child, and that he had important doc- uments that in Demerara, which were very important; that his client could not pay his wife and child anything hecause is practice would not per- mit him. ss * Attorney W. Calvin Chase, who represented Mrs. Millard, denied the contention of counsel and assured the court that the statement of coun- sel for, defendant was absolutely without foundation; that counsel for plaintiff had consented to a postpone- ment until February, provided the de- fendant would agree to pay a_reason- able amount of alimony, which was five dollars pér week. : Judge Latimer stated that she would give the defense until February 9th, but hé must pay_a reasonable sum weekly until the final termination of the case, and for counsel to get to- gether and agree on the amount. Mr, Chase said that he had already submitted a proposition to the coun- sel for the defendant to pay Mrs, Millard five dollars per week. The court thought that amount was small enough, and judgment for thal amount would he passed. Mrs. Millard, formerly Miss Thomp: son, was courted and married by Dr. Millard in Philadelphia in 1910. Her iushand came to this city and entered the medical department of Howaré University, leaving his wife and child in Philadelphia, so Mrs. Millard sta- ted. She has seen him | but twice since he left Philadelphia, although he promised to send for her, hut never kept his promise. ; Ps, Millard has handsomely _ fur- nshed office rooms in You street where, it is claimed, he has a lutra- tive practice Both parties are highly educated and apparently froni good families. The case will come up for a hearing in the Juvenile Court Monday, Feb- tuary Sth, The case promises to be sensational and interesting. $15,000 Campaign and Mass Meetings | Sub.“The Color Line,” next Sunday, Jan. 18th, at 8 P.

B. DuBois failed to. see anything worth while to write about in the Crisis relative to his money- making trip to Washington to see President Wilson. If the Pioneer Press had said anything it would have-bech in the language of Lincoln about fooling all the people some of the time, but not fooling all the peo- ple all the time. ‘Having demanded a big sum of money to support the Democratic party and got it, with no promises of performance for loyalty, Mr. Wil- son no doubt said in his heart, “get thee behind me, Satan,” &c. |. That Trotter’s interest in any cause is bounded by his own seffishness and ‘whims, is known by all who have ha¢ dealings with him. His only standarc of conduct is the gratification of ar inordinate vanity. He seceded from the Niagara Movement for no othe: reason than that a majority of it: members did not see things as he saw them. He had quarreled with ever} man who has ever had any connec tion with him in race uplift. There i not a single educated man of the rac who now cooperates with him who i: not actuated by some motive’ of ma terial gain. Trotter seceded fron the National Independent Politica League and as a secessionist he ha Jeff Davis beaten to a frazzle. Y. M. C. A. WORK. Prof. L. B.
