Washington Bee

IF IT'S NEWS, IT'S IN THE BEE, FOR THE BEE IS A NEWSPAPER. THE BEE WASHINGTON Washington's Best and Leading Negro Newspaper-That's THE BEE VOL. XXXIV, NO. 32 WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, JANUARY 24, 1914 Commissioner Siddons and Major Sylvester Break all Records—Two of the Best Men Carried to Headquarters. The first colored detective that was ever appointed on the Metropolitan Police force was Mr Tillman. He had a record that commended him to the best people in this city. Tillman was a gentleman detective, and a man of high and honorable character The appointment of Richard H Beckley and Dr. Robert L. Carroll as members of the detective force as a recognition of merit and the colored race. Commissioner F. L. Siddons knows no man by the color of his skin, hence the appointment of Dr. Carroll and Mr Beckley, who have made commendable records. Major Sylvester always recognizes merit, and when he finds it in a colored officer he never fails to show it Richard Beckley, who was recently transferred and appointed to headquarters, was born in this city November 16, 1881. He attended the public schools and Howard University, and was appointed in the interne department October 2, 1899, and during the social season, beginning in 1912, he was detailed as a messenger at the White House for six years under the administration of ex-President Roosevelt; June 2, 1908, he was appointed in the police department, Riehard Beckley Class 1, and was promoted to Class 2 June 2, 1911, and promoted to the bicycle squad April 15, 1911, and recently a detective, and transferred to police headquarters. There is not a more competent or a more fearless officer upon the force. He doesn't believe in making cases by corrupt methods or resorting to wholesale perjury to gain conviction. When Mr. Beckley arrests an individual he secures legitimate evidence, and if that doesn't convict him it is not his fault. Some of the most important arrests made by this officer were: Harry Robinson, whom he caught by a description given him by a girl. This man was charged with highway robbery. Daniel Smith, also charged with robbery. One of the most sensational arrests that was ever made by Mr. Beckley was that of Thomas Miller, who robbed Ralph E. Burgess of $700. None of the headquarters or precinct detectives were successful in this case until Capt. Peck allowed Beckley to go on the case. In less than three days Becklev had his man. These are only a few of the many arrests of notorious criminals made by him. He has been commended on several occasions for the valuable work done by him. DR. ROBERT L. CARROLL Was born August 22, 1689, attending the public schools, including the Washington high school. In 1885 graduated from the Spencerian Business College and in the fall of 1886 entered the medical department of Howard University and graduated from said medical department in 1889. He practiced medicine for several months. On July 1, 1896, he was appointed a private of Class 1, on the Metropolitan Police Force, and assigned to duty in the Eighth Precinct, which included all that territory now comprising the Eighth and Tenth Precincts. Upon the establishment of the Tenth Precinct in August, 1901, he was transferred from the Eighth to the Tenth, where he has served continuously until now. No man is better known by the people than Dr. Carroll. He is one of the most honorable men upon the police force, and no man is more highly appreciated than he is. Major Sylvester speaks of him in the highest terms, as well as all officers in the department. The chief of police expects these prejudice towards those they arrest. No two better appointments could have been made. DR WAHSINGTON IN SPRING FIELD. A Royal Reception Tendered Him. He Makes a Plea for Justice. Springfield, Mass., Jan. 14. Three carnes, eloquent and forceful appeals, calling upon the American white people to treat the colored American as a man, a brother and a citizen, were made by Dr. Booker T. Washington on Sunday, January 11, in one of New England's great centers of learning; three audiences, unusually large, in numerical proportions, most friendly and cordial in their welcome, manifesting deep interest and displaying genuine enthusiasm, listened to the leader of the Negro people convincingly tell of the wonderful progress made by the members of his race in fifty years. Dr. Washington spoke at Mt. Holyoke College, South Hadley, Mass., in the morning, at Smith College, Northampton, Mass., in the afternoon, and at the First Congregational Church of Springfield, in the evening. The appearance of the eminent educator at the three large meetings was gratifying in two ways. Dr. Washington's auditors made it evident that they were glad to avail themselves of the opportunity to hear what he had to say about the Negro, and the Tuskegeean, in turn, seemed intensely pleased with the splendid ovation accorded him in this section of New England. Makes Vigorous Plea for Justice. There was nothing sensational in what Dr. Washington had to say. He did not appear in the role of an agitator, nor did he take up the time of his auditors in condemning the methods of others who have their peculiar way of trying to solve the race question. He made a strong, vigorous plea for justice for the Negro, appealing to the hearts and minds of his hearers, rather than to baser passions. While he strongly condemned the many injustices to which the Negro in the South is subjected, declaring that there are many problems to solve in that section of the country and that much exists that is discouraging, he maintained that holding indignation meetings, constant complaining and inflammatory utterances were not going to ameliorate conditions, but aggravate them. Throughout the South the people are beginning to experience in a very effective manner some of the results of education, he said, and the results are being felt in the life of both races. Education is being applied to the human interests and activities of all the people in a way not to be discounted, and the race is making great progress in the southland in spite of the many sensational reports sent to the press in this section of the country, declared the speaker, who believes that time and patience is the solver of all great fundamental problems. Dr. Washington did not confine his remarks relative to the effective work being done in the black belt by colored educational institutions solely to Tuskegee. Hampton, Fisk, Talledega and a score of smaller institutions in the South were given great credit for playing a prominent part in making conditions better in that section of the country. Rovally Entertained at Mt. Haleake Royally Entertained at Mt. Holyoke College. Over eight hundred students and friends assembled in the Mary Logan Chapel, Mt. Holyoke College, at 10 o'clock Sunday morning to listen to an address by Dr. Washington. Mt. Holyoke College is one of the oldest institutions of learning for young women in the United States, and only recently celebrated its seventy-fifth anniversary. In the absence of President Woolley, who is away on a short vacation, Dean Purington had charge of the services. The chancel was decorated with flowers and a large choir, composed entirely of young women, rendered a special musical program. After the services scores of stu- WASHINGTON, D.C., SATURDAY, JANUARY 24, 1914 Major Richard Sylvester: who Appoints Two Colored Detectives dents crowded around Dr. Washington and congratulated him on his talk in the interest of the Negro. Dr. Washington was the dinner guest of Dean Durington, who proved a most entertaining hostess. At the dinner he met members of the faculty and others. the birthday of Charles Sumner acquires a special significance. It was this man's clear-sighted and eloquent courage that during the closing hours of the first session of his service in the United States Senate awoke the country to a realization of the truth that freedom must ever be national Speaks to Three Thousand at Smith. Smith College enjoys the distinction of being the largest school for girls in the world. The enrollment this year is 1,549, and a corps of 175 teachers is employed. There are 369 students in this year's freshman class President M. L. Burton, although yet in his hirties, has raised the institution to a high state of efficiency during his administration, and has received valuable assistance from his accomplished wife. So large was the audience that filled the John M. Green Hall for vespers services, which began Sunday afternoon shortly after 4 o'clock, that President Burton made the announcement before Dr. Washington began to speak that no more persons would be admitted, and requested that as many students as possible take seats on the platform. Over three thousand persons, including the students of Smith and residents of Northampton, heard the address delivered by Dr. Washington, and it is said that the only time that the hall has held a similar gathering was on commence day. Although Dr. Washington spoke for over an hour he was listened to with rapt attention throughout. He impressed upon the hundreds of young women hailing from every section of the United States the importance of education for the Negro, and said that the Negro did not crave for sympathy, but that he wanted justice—that he desired to be treated as a citizen and countryman and be permitted to assist in making this nation better and more powerful. Before vesper services Dr. Washington was entertained at tea by President and Mrs. Burton. All the available floor space in the First Congregational Church of Springfield was taken up Sunday evening long before 7 o'clock, the hour for the opening of services. The First Congregational Church was organized in 1637, and is regarded as one of the oldest and wealthiest churches in Massachusetts. Its present pastor is the Rev. Neil McPherson. At the beginning of Dr. Washington's address many were unable to gain admission. The Tuskegeean in his address, dwelt mainly on the great work being done in the Southland by Tuskegee and other colored schools, and for more than an hour commanded the interest of his hearers. For some time after services Dr. Washington was kept busy shaking hands and receiving the congratulations of those who had had the good fortune to hear him. STATEMENT OF FACTS AND PRINCIPLES Unanimously Agreed to by the Mass Meeting Held Under the Auspices of the Washington Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People on the Anniversary of the Birth of Charles Sumner, January 6, 1914. Democracy in America is today passing through a profound crisis. The freedom of all Americans which was the warrant and sufficient justification of the Civil War now stands in danger of being replaced by a factious "New Freedom" announced by the first Southern President since the War and involving a new slavery for American citizens of African descent. At such a time the anniversary of the birthday of Charles Sumner acquires a special significance. It was this man's clear-sighted and eloquent courage that during the closing hours of the first session of his service in the United States Senate awoke the country to a realization of the truth that freedom, must ever be national. It was he whose courage matched his conscience in insisting when such a thing meant danger and obliquity, upon the repeal of the Fugitive Slave Act. It was his chair in the Senate, made vacant by the dastardly club of Preston S. Brooks, of South Carolina, that pleaded more eloquently than all the orators for the rights of free speech. In 1859 aiter coming back from the valley of the shadow of death, it was Sumner who made a statement of the barbarism of slavery which remains to this day one of the most comprehensive and fundamental criticisms of that systematic inhumanity. At a time when great men and good were not great enough to see the folly of cowardice or good for the public welfare, Charles Sumner was the outspoken and indefeatable foe of compromise. It was he who spoke out in tones that shook the nation for the emancipation of the slaves. Sumner stood for the enlistment of the blacks in the Union army, for the establishment of the Freedmen's Bureau, for equal suffrage together with free homesteads and free schools. And; it was this man in 1872 incurred deep humiliation at the hands of his beloved Massachusetts by introducing in the Senate the magnanimous resolution that the names of battles between fellow citizens be not placed upon the regimental colors of the United States. It was Charles Sumner who incarnated Abraham Lincoln's idea of a bishop; it was he whom Lincoln consulted as "the embodiment of the conscience of the American people." It is the judgment of high historical authority that in the sphere of political action "the chief initiating force in the struggle that put an end to slavery," was Charles Sumner. Our own day witnesses a reaction against the lofty conception of freedom and democracy for which Garrison and Phillips and Sumner and Lincoln strove. The ballot has been taken away from the black American in the South. Without this defense, he has been hustled into the Jim Crow car. He has been subjected to a system of legal control built up expressly to protect property rights at the expense of human rights. The schools of his children have been deprived of decent accommodation and support. He has been lynched South and North with the terrible acquiescence of local opinion. He has been restricted to the lower levels of industrial life by lack of adequate training not more than by an implacable industrial boycott even in the cities of the North. He has been stripped of one civil privilege after another. His economic, moral, and cultural progress have been ignored by the organs of public opinion while the doings of his idle and criminal class have been heralded abroad. By the law and the courts he has been forced in Baltimore and elsewhere to live in a Negro ghetto. He is in danger of segregation even in agricultural districts. And to crown the iniquities, he is segregated with the knowledge of the President of the United States in toilet rooms, lunch rooms and work rooms in the Departments of the Federal Government here in Washington. The career of Charles Sumner reminds us of the necessity of fearlessness and truth in dealing with these problems. Not the Negro but the Nation in its fundamental democracy is at stake. It were folly for Americans to exercise a more solicitous re- gard for the immigrant Slav, for the Mexican peon, for the far-away Filipino than for ten million native-born Americans whatever their descent. These millions of black Americans cry out as one man against the humiliations and the injustices which unreasoning race animosity foists upon them through the sacred instrumentalities of the law and the government. It is preposterous that a philosophic President should listen to Tillman and Vardaman and Hoke Smith and Heflin and think he hears the voice of the American people. If the "New Freedom" does not apply to American citizens of African descent it is the doctrine of the old vicious Slave Power resurrected in the Twentieth Century. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People seeks to uplift the colored men and women of this country by securing for them the full enjoyment of their rights as citizens, justice in all courts and equality of opportunity everywhere. It favors, and aims to aid, every kind of education among them, saver that which teaches special privilege or prerogative, class or caste. It recognizes the national character of the Negro problem and no sectionalism. In the words and the spirit of William Lloyd Garrison the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is in earnest—it will not equivocate—it will not excuse—it will not retreat a single inch—and it will be heard! DR. W. H. NELSON The New Israel Pastor Defeats His Enemies and Overcomes Opposition—Birmingham, Ala., People Speak Highly of the Author. Birmingham, Ala., Jan. 17 The Birmingham, Ala., Reporter published an attack upon Rev W H. Nelson, the author and scholar, some weeks ago, which was inspired by his enemies and those who were candidates for the Israel C. M. E. Church charge. Dr. Nelson was formerly pastor of Powell Chapel, a well-to-do church near Birmingham, Ala. He was also presiding elder for Birmingham District, and pastored in the church at Birmingham, Ala., and Iowell Chapel. In these capacities he gave entire satisfaction; so well was his work approved by the Bishop and the people he was selected as the best man to be sent to the Israel C. M. E. Church Washington, D. C. Dr. Nelson is not only a moral and upright man, intellectual, but an author of several well written and published books. The article published against him in the Birmingham, Ala., Reporter, is absolutely false in every particular, and without the slightest foundation. His enemies are those who have failed as ministers of the gospel, without standing in his state and the city of Birmingham, Ala. Dr. Nelson js a graduate of the Boston, Mass., University, and has traveled extensively throughout Europe and the Holy Lands, and undoubtedly he is a man of learning and broad experience, and wherever he has been, he has been treated with profound respect and consideration. There is no man in this country more highly thought of or more respected than he is. He was sent to Israel Church December 19, 1913, but did not arrive in Washington until December 31, 1913, where he was royally received, and it is believed by the people of Alabama, that he will be a success there, as he has been here, and that the people of Washington will have one of the ablest divines in the country, among them. His family will join him shortly, which ranks among the leading citizens of Birmingham, Ala.. Attorney Scott Going South. Our friend, attorney Armond W Scott, is rapidly increasing in popularity among the Order of Colored Elks of the World. He has just been invited by Beacon Light Lodge No. 34, Improved Benevolent, Protective Order of Elks of the World, of Portsmouth, Va., to deliver an address to them on the 15th of February, upon the occasion of their ninth anniversary The Portsmouth Lodge have planned to make this occasion a fraternal "Gala Day," and at which time all of the lodges of Elks of the tidewater section will be represented. He has also been invited to address Eureka Lodge of Elks, No. 5, of Norfolk, Va., on the 16th of February, both of which invitations he has accepted. An elaborate reception will also be tended Lawyer Scott upon his visit to the tidewater section, and knowing the hospitality of our Southern brethren, The Bee predicts that this will be an occasion long to be remembered. Attorney Scott is the present Grand Legal Adviser of the colored Order of Elks of the World, and notwithstanding the fact that he has only been a member of the Order for three years, he came within five votes of being elected Grand Exalted Ruler of the Order at the meeting of the Grand Lodge at Atlantic City last summer. And from what The Bee can learn and understand, as to sentiments expressed by leaders from different parts of the country, he will be elected overwhelmingly Grand Exalted Ruler of the colored Elks of the World at the meeting of the Grand Lodge, which convenes at Norfolk, Va., next August. RICKS FOUNDATION WHAT THE ELIZABETH RICKS FOUNDATION IS DOING FOUNDATION IS DOING. On January 9, 1914, Martha Pendleton and baby (colored) were brought into the Police Court, the mother being charged with abandoning her infant child (a Grand Jury offence). Investigation developed the following facts: Martha Pendleton was nineteen years old. Her home was in Louisa County, Virginia. She never was out of the county until she came to Washington. She was seduced in this county by a man, under promise of marriage. The man who seduced her, wrote and urged her to come to Washington—meet him at the Union Station and he would take her to a minister and marry her. The girl came here as requested; but the man was not at the station as promised by him, nor did she see him—nor had she seen him down to the day she was brought into court. Mrs. Elizabeth Ricks, hearing of this case, sought out the girl, and from her learned something of her life while she had been in Washington. The girl, tending herself alone in a strange city, sought a lodging place for which she barely had money enough to pay for, for a night or so. Sought and obtained work and continued in employment until she was forced to go to a hospital—to give birth to her baby. The child was born in the Freedmans Hospital November 29, 1913. When Martha Pendleton was discharged from the hospital, she sought employment, but no one wanted—or would employ her, on account of the baby, and she had no money to pay some one to take care of the child for her; that in sheer desperation, she wrapped the baby up in all the clothes she had and placed it on a woman's back porch. Hoping and praying that this woman would take this child in and care for it until she could get some work, earn some money and provide for it. Mrs. Ricks told this girl that she would do all she could to help her. The case in the Police Court against this girl, was continued from January 2 to January 16. Mrs. Ricks appealed to Judge Pugh, and requested him "That instead of sending this girl to jail to await the further action of the court, to turn it over to her—that she would care for this girl and her babe, feed and shelter them and would produce them in court whenever ordered." Through the co-operation of Miss Foster, Miss Bucher and District Attorney Given, Martha Pendleton and baby, was turned over to Mrs. Ricks. Attorney Fountain Peyton, got in touch with some of the relatives of this girl, had them come on here to Washington, and they expressed themselves as perfectly willing and anxious to take this girl back to their home in Louisa County, Virginia. On January 16, 1914, Martha Pendleton and child was produced by Mrs. Ricks into the Police Court, the babe and mother warmly clad. In light of the facts developed in this case, District Attorney Given concluded that no criminal intent had been shown by this girl, and ordered she and baby turned over to her brothers, who took her back with them to their home in Virginia. A girl of but 14 years of age was brought into the Juvenile Court January 16, 1914. She was charged with petty larceny. Investigation developed that the home life of this girl was that she stole to get food and clothing to cover her body. The court on the facts stated, did not want to send this girl to the Reform School. Miss King, the probation officer, walked the streets of this city, trying to find a place to temporarily put this girl. She finally heard of the Elizabeth Ricks Foundation Home. She called upon Mrs. Ricks and asked her if she would shelter this girl temporarily. Mrs. Ricks willingly consented. The girl is now in her home well fed, clothed and properly trained. Judge Lattimer wrote Mrs. Ricks "That he was at his wits end, to find a place to put this girl in—until he learned of the Home." All of this work in rescuing these girls, has been done and is being done by Mrs: Ricks' individual means and efforts.

FARM BOYS BEST AT FIGURES Ability to Concentrate Makes Them Real Mathematicians. Bloomington, Ind. That students from rural districts almost invariably are better mathematicians than city boys is the assertion of Professor David Rothrock of Indiana university, who substantiated his statement with data concerning the 250 students enrolled in the mathematics department. In the report Professor Rothrock has compiled the students are placed in three groups—those whose fathers are farmers, those whose fathers are engaged in professions and those whose fathers are engaged in the commercial world. The students from the farm, of whom there are 29 per cent, averaged 62.4 in their final examinations as compared with 74.5 for the second class and 63.6 for the third class. The ability of the student from the farm to concentrate is given as the season for his superiority in mathematics.

New York.—An event of great economic importance will be realized early in 1914 by the completion of the Central railway in German East Africa. Construction was begun in 1904 and completed to Tabora, 530 miles from the seaboard terminal, in February, 1912. The railroad when completed will extend 750 miles—from Daresalam, on the Indian ocean, to Klgoma, on Lake Tanganyika. The line divides the German colony into two equal areas, thus making a trunk system from which branches may be built over a great part of the colony. A vast and productive region is thus opened for establishing plantations. It will also become the outlet for the broad hinterland in which lies Lake Tanganyika, with its 400 mile stretch of navigable waters, tributary to which is a rich commercial region in the heart of Africa. Along the extensive shore of this lake products will be gathered and distributed by a fleet of ships co-operating with the railway. German East Africa, with its area of 384,000 square miles and a population of 10,000,000, is certain to respond to the economic advantages created by the completion of the Central railway. Great areas of wild land will be brought into modern cultivation, in which large capital will be invested, new mineral regions and forest areas will be exploited and public highways will be extended. TAFT TROUSERS TOO BIG. He Directs Tailor to Reduce the Waist Girth of Thirty-five Pairs. New Haven, Conn.—Losing weight has compelled former President Taft to have his garments modeled on less generous lines. He gave a local journeyman tailor an order for changes to be made in thirty-five pairs of trousers. Mr. Taft has reduced his weight eighty pounds, and his waist line has drawn in six-inches so that it now measures forty-eight inches. Mr. Taft stipulated that a reef should be taken in the waist of each pair of trousers, the fullness to be "gathered in" at both sides and the front. The tailor will also alter thirty-five coats and vests to conform to Mr. Taft's bodily measurements as a Yale professor. IS YOUR CHICKEN SANDED? Uncle Sam Intends to Find Out—May Prosecute Dealers. Washington.-The department of agriculture will investigate the charges that some of the poultry sold in New York markets is sanded to increase the weight. Dealers thought guilty of the practice will be indicted under the pure food laws. Assistant Secretary Galloway said that the department had been receiving complaints from New York for more than a year that middlemen were sanding poultry. 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 bear 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 Whitttum of Brunswick that her thirteen year-old brother, Haydon Jones, died of starvation at Shiloh. Mrs. Whitttum 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. BIBLE PICTURES IN CINCINNATI "I Have Sworn, Saith Jehovah * * * That I Will Greatly Bless Thee, and I Will Exceedingly Multiply Thy Seed as the Stars of Heaven and as the Sand Which Is Upon the Seashore, * * * and In Becoming Thy Seed Shall All Nations of the Earth Bless Themselves." PASTOR RUSSELL Cincinnati, Ohio. Jan. 18.—Pastor Russell spoke here this morning on the above text. In the afternoon he personally conducted the opening exhibition of the International Bible Students production of the Bible in pictures. "The Photo-Drama of Creation," in Cincinnati's celebrated Music Hall. We report his discourse on a preferred rendering of Genesis 22:16-18. He said: Six thousand years ago in Eden our Maker, in justly sentencing His disobedient children to death, intimated that ultimately the Seed of the woman would bruise the Serpent's head. This hidden promise was the first intimation of the Divine mercy which our gracious Creator had purposed in Himself, from before the foundation of the world. Ever noble, kind and gracious, our Creator restrained His mercy for the good of His creatures—that they might learn to appreciate the exceeding sinfulness of sin. For the good of the angels also, that they might fully know of His Justice, as well as of His Wisdom and His Power, God insisted upon dealing with His creatures from the standpoint of exact Justice. Man had sinned, and thereby had forfeited all claim upon the eternal life which God had given him conditionally. Eternal torment, as we have already seen, did not in any sense or degree enter into the Divine purpose. His sentence upon man, plainly stated, was, "Drying, thou shalt die," not Living, thou shalt live in torment. (Genesis 2:17) God purposed to exemplify in His dealings with our race a principle of Divine government to be made operative everywhere ultimately amongst all His creatures on the spirit plane as well as upon the earthly. Long centuries after, God spoke to Abraham, but first tested his faith and loyalty. To him the Almighty mentioned the same great Deliverer who would bruise the Serpent's head. God gave Abraham the assurance that this One would in some way be identified with his posterity, so that He might properly be called the Seed of Abraham. God said, "In thy Seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed." The Divine Program was not changed, but more explicit statements were given despecting it. Thereafter all who were taught of God would know to look for the Messianic blessing through Abraham's Seed. This Covenant was afterward confirmed with an Oath to Abraham, and later to Isaac and then to Jacob. This Covenant became the basis of God's adoption of the entire nation of Israel—all of Jacob's children. They were the heirs of the Abrahamic Promise—the Oath-bound Covenant. All the hopes that have thus far preserved Israel as a people are built upon the foundation of this Covenant, secured to them by the Word and the Oath of our unchangeable God. If it should seem strange to us that the Almighty Jehovah should condescend to make oaths to His creatures respecting the gracious gifts of His hand. I remind you that God knew what Abraham did not know; namely, that the Promise attested by that Oath would linger for more than thirty-nine hundred years without accomplishment. God foreknew that without His Oath to this Promise Israel would naturally feel either that He had forgotten it, or that something had occurred to alter or amend the Divine Program. Hence the Oath and the fact that this Covenant is called the Covenant of the Oath. Promises to Jacob All Earthly. Promises to Jacob All Earthly. From Genesis to Malachi there is nothing in the Holy Scriptures that implies a change of nature from human to spiritual for mankind in general. Nothing intimates that mankind will ever be like the angels. The prophetic promises, on the contrary, tell of restitution to the former estate—to human perfection and to an Eden home restored—world-wide. The Jubilee system of the Law of Moses taught this same lesson. On the fifteenth year every slave was set at liberty and every property reverted to its original owners. In this God pictured man's return to harmony with Him self—man's liberation from the bondage of Sin and Death, his restoration to the image of his Creator, from which he fell through sin, and the return to him of the dominion of earth in its glorious perfection. I remind you of the wonderful war pictures drawn by the Prophet Isla- He tells that the wilderness shall bloom as the rose; that streams shall break forth in the desert; that the blessing of the Lord shall be upon the earth, and it shall yield its increase. He tells that then the inhabitant shall no more say, I am sick, when all the blind eyes shall be opened and all the deaf ears shall be un-topped. The Prophet Jeremiah tells us that then it will no longer be necessary to say to one's neighbor or to one's brother. Know thou the Lord; for all shall know Him, from the least to the greatest. The Prophet Habakkuk declares that in that glorious time the knowledge of the glory of God shall fill the whole earth. These blessed conditions cannot come to the world, according to the Scriptures, until first God's blessing shall be upon His ancient people Israel, as attested by the Oath-bound Covenant, that through them the blessing shall extend to all the nations of the earth, when the Law shall go forth from Mount Zion and the Word of the Lord from Jerusalem. I am sure that I speak directly to the hearts of humanity when I say that this glorious picture of Human Restitution is far more captivating to the great, majority than are any suggestions of a Heavenly kind. And we the time, it would afford pleasure to discuss the indications that the fulfilment of these prophecies is just at hand. A Heavenly Kind of Glory. Some have imagined that Messiah's Kingdom will be an earthly one, and that Messiah Himself will be a great man. But this is a mistake. Israel's long-promised King will be, not a man, but a spirit being, Jehovah's honored Agent, whose glory will be far higher than that of angels, who will be His ministers. His servants. Do we not all remember that it is written in the Book of Daniel (7:13, 14) that Messiah will come in the clouds of Heaven? To Him the Ancient of Days will give the dominion and government, and all peoples and nations shall serve Him. Surely we are not to expect Messiah to come and conquer the world with cannon and dreadnoughts; God has another method by which earthly powers shall melt before His glorious Kingdom in the hands of Messiah. Another description of Messiah's Kingdom conquering the world is given in the 9th Psalm. There is no doubt that this is the prophetic picture here given. His Kingdom, like David's and Solomon's of old, will be Jehovah's Kingdom; but, unlike theirs, His will be the higher, the spiritual, Heavenly. We read, "Clouds and thick darkness are round about Him; righteousness and justice are the foundations of His Throne." Destructive judgments as a fire will sweep away unrighteous institutions from the world, whether these be backed by Jewish or by Gentile capital or arms. Then, the Prophet declares, "His lightnings [His revelations] will enlighten [and reform] the world." Society as now organized, symbolically called the earth, will tremble. This is already the case. Soon the next verse will have fulfillment. The mountains will melt like wax at His presence. From the Heavenly ones will come the message of God's righteousness; and all the people shall see His glory—the glory of the Divine character in the righteousness of the Kingdom. All worshipers of idols of every kind will be ashamed. Those who are worshipers of mammon—stocks and bonds, houses and lands—will, as Mr. Carnegie has declared, be ashamed of riches accumulated contrary to the Golden Rule. The next verse tells of the Jews and shows how this, blessed Message of the Kingdom will affect them, saying, "Zion heareth it and rejoiceeth; glad are the daughters of Jerusalem because of Thy decrees, O Jehovah!" Then follows the message that is particularly due today to all—both rich and poor—"Ye that love the Lord, hate ye the evil. He will preserve the lives of His plious ones." "Abide the Day of His Coming." Malachi 3:1-5 is another prophecy speaking of the same great Messiah Mediator of the New Covenant, King of kings and Lord of lords. As the Representative of Jehovah, His Father, He is to reign until all enemies shall be put down; until Satan shall be bound and ultimately crushed; until Adam and his race, released from the Divine sentence, shall under the New Covenant conditions be lifted out of sin, degradation and death up to perfection and life everlasting—the unwilling and disobedient being destroyed in the Second Death. The Prophet Malachi points out that the Messenger of the New Covenant, whom he announces, is the glorious Mediator and antitypical King for whom Israel had waited long and of whom they delighted to think. He would come to the Temple—thus implying that He would be not only an antitypical Prophet, an antitypical King, but also an antitypical Priest—"after the Order of Melchizedek"; "A Priest upon His Throne." But after this joyful proclamation that Israel's long-expected Mediator of the New Covenant should be looked for, they were warned that His Day would be one of trial, of special testing and proving, in order that the Lord might find the antitypical Priests and the antitypical Levites to serve in the antitypical Temple. He would be like a refiner's fire to take away the dross and to leave only the pure metal-ferry trials and testings being implied. He would be like "fullers' soap." In the sense that a great washing or purging would take place to make ready for the Kingdom the called and chosen and faithful. At that time the consecration of Judah and Jerusalem unto the Lord will be acceptable as in olden times. We may understand that this spirit of devotion is now reviving amongst the Jews, particularly amongst those who are identified with Jerusalem and the Zionist movement. Hitherto this has been a political movement in the interest of Jewish nationalization and a home for exiles. Now, however, the due time has come for a real movement of those who have the faith—to draw near to God and to show their faith by helping forward in the restoration of Jerusalem and her interests. Why Messiah's Coming Delayed. The Logos, the First-begotten of the Father, His glorious Agent in the mighty work of creation, had the honor granted Him of becoming the Messenger of the Covenant, the great Prophet, Priest and King of Israel, the great Michael of Daniel 12:1. But there were tests connected with His attainment of this high position. (1) By faith He must lay aside His Heavenly glory, in obedience to the Father's will, and become a Man—not a sinful man, but "holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners"—a perfect Man. (2) Thus prepared to become the Redeemer, it was His privilege to make full consecration of His earthly interest, and the Father's pleasure to beget Him of the Holy Spirit at Jordan to the spirit nature on the highest plane of existence. For three years and a half His sacrifice burned on the altar. It was indeed better than the sacrifice of bulls and goats; for it was a corresponding price for Adam—"an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a man's life for a man's life." (3) When Jesus had thus sacrificially parted with His earthly life He experienced a resurrection change from human nature to spiritual, like what He was originally, only higher and more glorious. Thus He was at once both a sacrifice and the spirit-begotten Priest who offered that sacrifice. When He arose from the dead, His personal sacrifice had ended, and His personal perfection as a spirit being was completed. The question then arises. Why did He not at once begin His great work as Prophet. Priest. King and New Covenant Mediator for Israel and, through Israel, for the world? The Scriptures answer that it was because there was to be more than one sacrifice in the Divine Plan on the antitypical Day of Atonement. Throughout this Gospel Are this risen, glorified High Priest. Mediator, Prophet and King has been waiting to inaugurate His glorious Kingdom of Blessing—waiting while a little handful of saluts should be selected from the world, tested and found worthy, and then glorified with Himself—a Little Flock, both Jews and Gentiles. When this Ibride class shall have completed her sacrifice in and under the merit of the great Priest, then every arrangement for Israel's blessing as Abraham's seed, and of all nations through Israel, will forthwith commence. Thus seen, the revelation of the great Messenger of the New Covenant is very important, not only to the Jew, but also to the world of mankind, who must receive their blessings under Israel by compliance with the same New Law Covenant. Moreover, the elect handful of saints drawn, called and gathered during the parenthesis period of the Gospel Age are also deeply interested in God's glorious Kingdom; for the Divine promise is that they shall then be changed to be like their Master and to share His glory. The Earthly Phase of the Kingdom. Studying the Bible from this standpoint, I am sure that with myself you will see that the Divine predictions of Messiah's Kingdom indicate that it will have a glory and a power superhuman, in the light of which even Solomon's glory, riches and honor will fade. Indeed, was not Solomon merely a forest shadow of the great King of Glory, the Heavenly One? When we remember that Messiah's Kingdom is not only to bless those living at the time of its establishment, but gradually to awaken the dead and give all of Adam's race a full opportunity to attain life everlasting, then it will be seen that the Kingdom must be a spiritual one. Then, too, Messiah's Kingdom of Light is represented as supernailing Satan's kingdom of darkness—both spiritual. In full accord with this thought is the prophecy. "Behold, a King shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall execute judgment." (Isaiah 32:1. Messiah will be the great King—the Church. His Bride, being associated with Him. The Princess who will execute judgment will be the Ancient Worthies of Israel—Abraham. Isaac. Jacob and all the holy Prophets—carrying out the decrees and regulations of the Heavenly Messiah. This is the meaning of the Lord's promise to Israel, "I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counselors as at the beginning."—Isaiah 12:6. In conclusion, I ask you to note the critical translation of my text which I have given. According to the Hebrew, the nations are to bless themselves in the Seed of Abraham. In other words, after the establishment of Messiah's Kingdom, when Israel shall have been reorganized and brought into favor with God under the New Covenant (Heremiah 31:31-34), and when the Princess of all the earth shall be Israel's Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and all the Prophets then the door of opportunity, first opened to the Jew, will stand open to all nations, that they may be adopted under the gracious terms of the New Covenant. Then, with Israel servants of God, they may be born children of Abraham. This is the significance of the words of our Lord, that persons shall bless themselves in Abraham's Seed by becoming the self-faith and conservation to God meek of their Entered at the Post Office at Washington, D.

The peculiar political conditions, which exist today with three parties contending for, supremacy, make it imperative that the Negro voters, especially of the North and West, should meet and consider and arrange plans by which they will not throw their ballots away in the Congressional elections of next November. The triangular fight which is going on, gives the Negro voter, if he will, a chance to help elect the next Congress and to place the men he may choose to help elect under political obligations to him for his assistance. But, this can be obtained only by discreet, sensible organization and by the best political management. No one of the three political parties—Republican, Democratic nor progressive—seems to be giving the slightest attention to the Negro; and it is eminently fit and proper that the Negro should at least give some attention to himself. Another new element, which enters with the present campaign is the election of United States Senators along with the election of Congressmen. The campaign of 1914 will be as important as was the Presidential campaign of 1912, and will be as far reaching in political consequence. In the present, Congress, there are 291 Democrats and 124 Republicans, 6 Progressive Republicans, 13 Progressives and 1 Independent. Should the Republicans carry Congress, it will simply mean the collapse of the Progressive party. In 1916 there will not be three parties, for no sensible voter will stick to the Progressive party unless it can place a third figure in front of the present hoodoo number 13 in the coming November Congressional elections. As there are more than 800,000 available Negro voters, why shouldn't the Negro meet, organize and show that he can think, plan and vote for his own racial benefit? The Republicans are not organizing him, the Democrats don't want him, the Progressives have forgotten all about him—then why shouldn't the Negro organize himself and vote for himself? The more we think over this matter, the more we feel that this is the psychological moment for Negro action. We believe that every Negro paper will take up the matter, and every loyal, race loving Negro pulpit will give public approval, and in many instances participate in the coming May Congress, which can be made of inestimable racial uplift, civil and political. What is the best thing for the Negro voter to do? Should he support the Republican candidates for Congress? Should he support the Progressive candidates for Congress so that the Southern Congressmen can fasten anti-Negro legislation upon the District of Columbia? Should the Negro forget party and support for the Senate and House—such men as he believes will help to give him decent railroad accommodation, and will lift up their voices in the National Capital against the murders, burnings, disfranchisement and jim crowism of the South? Every one of the 48 States and the District of Columbia should see to it, that it is represented; and that representation composed of the very best men of character, brain WHY NOT HELP THE BEE? The Bee and its editor have been fighting the battles of the race in Washington and elsewhere for more years than we care to recall. The Bee has never dodged an issue. It has never ducked or hesitated. It has been straight on all questions appertaining to the rights and privileges of the race. It has been against segregation in every form. The Bee and its editor have been in Washington and elsewhere for me. The Bee has never dodged an issued. It has been straight on all rights and privileges of the race, in every form. During these years The Bee has poverty was knocking at its doors, staff have almost had to go withdrawn to stand by the race and fight its. Within recent days there has been falling over the shoulders of each brows in Washington to gather public publication hundreds of miles away which has been fighting the battle overlooked and has not received the very people who have been fall and send it away from Washington before the public or to boost some to call on The Bee. When these they have come to The Bee to help put their side of the case before them. We want to serve notice here and foreign god servers that they from now on. The Bee may not does speak the language of the woman here in the capital of the through, some people who have seen it when actual money was to be dis The Bee has more potentiality and has. Watch The Bee from now on. When some of the chief leader than two thousand dollars away and send it to New York were in an arrayed against them, and were in The Bee cahe to their rescue and of The Bee when money was to The Bee in the future. The strange and illogical things away from Washington to help a publication that day by day to make the black race vorish into power the very adminiiliations upon us. These would seem to say that by the se publication, "We thank you for do an administration that is humiliated States." While this publication was done crats into power, The Bee with fighting against putting the Demo its history and knew it would do all this, money goes to the public miseries and is withheld from the that has stood for our rights. Again we say, watch The Bee. During these years The Bee has had to fight many times when poverty was knocking at its door. The editor of The Bee and his staff have almost had to go without the necessities of life in order to stand by the race and fight its battles. Within recent days there has been a great hullabaloo and great falling over the shoulders of each other on the part of certain high brows in Washington to gather money and send it to boost anotl er publication hundreds of miles away from here, while The Bee, which has been fighting the battles of the race at home has been overlooked and has not received a dollar of this money, and when the very people who have been falling over themselves to get money and send it away from Washington have wanted to get their names before the public or to boost some selfish cause they have not failed to call on The Bee. When these individuals have been in trouble they have come to The Bee to help them out and defend them and put their side of the case before the public. We want to serve notice here and now on all these high brows and foreign god servers that they are going to hear from The Bee from now on. The Bee may not speak in Harvard English, but it does speak the language of the common man and the common woman here in the capital of the Nation. Perhaps when we are through, some people who have scoffed at The Bee and overlooked it when actual money was to be distributed will find out after all that The Bee has more potentiality and influence than they dreamed it has. Watch The Bee from now on. When some of the chief leaders in this movement to take more than two thousand dollars away from the taxpayers in Washington and send it to New York were in trouble, had the whole community arrayed against them, and were in danger of losing their positions, The Bee cahe to their rescue and saved them, but they did not think of The Bee when money was to be spent. We say again, watch The Bee in the future. The strange and illogical thing about the sending of this money away from Washington to help another paper is that the money is sent to help a publication that did all that it could by night and by day to make the black race vote the Democratic ticket and thus bring into power the very administration which has heaped all these humiliations upon us. These would-be-leaders here in Washington would seem to say that by the sending of this money to help this publication, "We thank you for doing all you could to put in power an administration that is humiliating every black man in the United States." While this publication was doing all it could to bring the Democrats into power, The Bee without money from the outside, was fighting against putting the Democratic party in power for we knew its history and knew it would do just what it is doing; but despite all this, money goes to the publication that helped to bring about our miseries and is withheld from the publication here in Washington that has stood for our rights. and race loyalty that can be found the "bug house." within each State. POLICE COURT. The tendency in some quarters, especially among young aspirants for legal distinction, is to look with disdain when mention is made of practicing in the Police Court. Now for the benefit of all such and any others entertaining like opinion, we would state that the Police Court for the District of Columbia is no side-show, but a court of class. The judges who have, and those now presiding, rank among the best jurists that have adorned the Judicial bench of Washington. Nane a court in Washington that carries on its roll of honor names that will overshadow Judges Miller, Snell, Scott, Pugh and Mullowney. The comparison gains lustre from the fact that the courts in Washington have always been credited with maintaining the highest possible standard of judicial excellence. The Police Court of Washington has co-equal jurisdiction, in criminal cases, with the other criminal courts located in City Hall, and is the only Police Court in the United States where the defendant, has the right to be tried by a jury. The Police Court judges—Pugh and Mullowney—are not only well versed in the law but administers it impartially, showing no favor nor making any distinction between rich or poor, white or black. This, considering the tendency to add to the load already carried by the less fortunate brother in black, makes it more creditable to their head and heart. Another fact in this connection is they are both Southern-born—Judge Pugh saw the first sunlight in Alabama, and Judge Mullowney, as his name, Alexander Richmond, indicates, was born in Richmond, Va. Both Judges Pugh and Mullowney earned their promotions to the judicial bench through the faithful and fearless manner in which they conducted the various, and responsible duties devolving upon them for many years, as prosecuting attorneys in the Police Court. If any doubts exist as to the importance of the prosecuting attorney's office connected with the Police Court we would suggest to all such that they take a look, any morning between the hours of 9 and 12, in the office of the United States branch, likewise the District branch) and they will soon conclude that U.S. District Attorney Ralph Given, and his assistant John Wayrich, also Corporation Council M.K. Varnell, and his assistants have a motly crowd to deal with, consisting of lawyers, policemen, prosecuting and defense witnesses. In fact the amount of stuff poured into their ears is enough not only to make them prematurely gray, but eventually be fit subjects for on fighting the battles of the race more years than we care to recall.

HOWARD UNIVERSITY Howard University under the guiding hand of President Stephen M. Newman, is prospering in a remarkable degree in all departments. The harmony and good feeling everywhere apparent are due to the controlling influence of the school and the confidence and high regard that the student body has for President Newman. His straightforward dealing with officers, teachers and pupils alike, his candor and sense of fairness to all and his exalted ideals of Christian education for the young people under him, together with his unsurpassed administrative ability, make him a president of Howard University. His sermons at vespers on Sunday and his daily chapel devotions are so helpful that no one wants to miss any of them. Dr. Newman's original way of putting things is enforced by his great knowledge of history and of the best literature of all times. His interest in the University and his personal solicitude for each student is sincere. His vision for Howard University and the Negro race is far reaching. His enlarged plans are gradually unfolding and from the manifest vigor exhibited and the positive pleasure that he seems to be getting out of his work it is clear to hope that the University as a great modern day institution has begun a new era in the building up of one of the strongest educational centers in America irrespective of race. ISRAEL'S NEW PASTOR From a report from Birmingham, Ala., Dr. W. H. Nelson, the new pastor at Israel C. M. E. Church, is a man of high moral character, and is the author of several well written books. Dr. Nelson has traveled extensively in Europe and the Holy Land, and there is every reason to believe that he will be the best and most progressive pastor that has ever been at Israel Church. The Bee extends a hearty welcome to all good and progressive men who may come to its city, regardless of their religious creed or political affiliations. The people of Israel will tender a reception to their distinguished pastor as soon as his family arrive. At last accounts Judge Terrell was still on the anxious seat, and mighty darn willing to give the seat to somebody else. Dr. Spingairn spoilt the effect of a fine address in Chicago by going out of his way to attack Dr. Washington's leadership. Can't get far with your own marketing if you stop to spill the marketing of others. Is Rev. White who railed against Roscoe Bruce, George Cook, and Mr. Villard as dangerous men to the peace of the community, in the employ of the Democratic Fair Play Association? Who is that Rev. White, anyhow? The establishment of a Negro Farm Journal fills a long felt want if there ever was one. The Bee welcomes the new publication to the list of race-uplifters, and bespeaks for it the cordial support its helpful mission merits. It is an assured success from the start. In the election of Mr. Archibald Grimke to the presidency of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P., the organization was fortunate in getting not only a talented executive, but a safe, sane man, who will work to help rather than to hinder; who will care for his own eggs without breaking those of his neighbor. We congratulate the organization on its choice. Mr. Grimke stands for something. He is a clean, high-class, consistent race man. KEEP THE RECORD STRAIGHT. New York, Jan. 23.—The New York News today carried the following as an editorial: "Just to keep the records straight, and for fear some eleventh hour converts may assume, and boastfully, all the credit which rightfully 'should be divided among many, the News desires to make this statement in justice to all who have in any way contributed to fight race segregation in the departments at Washington. "The newly chosen press agent for the N. A. A. C. P. recently sent out a Washington news letter which among other things culpably failed to give the credit due Ralph W. Tyler for the leading part he has played in opposing the Wilson segregation system. "The first expose of the scheme was by Ralph W. Tylter, then Auditor of the Navy, who wrote a strong, signed article to the local, white daily press in Washington. He immediately followed this up with an official letter to the President, specifying in which departments race segregation was enforced, and kept it up with the interviews and articles in the New York Evening Post and other publications, both white and colored, even securing copies of the official orders authorizing segregation, and the first to secure them, which he furnished to the press. Mr. Tylter did this while in office, before his resignation was asked for, and because of this fact more is the honor due him. No one conversant with the facts will doubt that the demand for his resignation was precipitated by his early, strong and honorable fight against race segregation in government departments. "We simply make this statement in order that a modest unpretentious and unclaiming, but fighting Olioan he accorded proper credit which he is not even asking. "Other publications that the Crisis—why specify when all are assisting—promptly, and sturdily took up the fight, but the Boston Guardian and the Crisis, both of whose editors are Wilson Democrats, as their columns will hear testimony, did not get into the game until after every race newspaper, and the white press had taken up the fight. "The N. A. A. C. P.'s press agent says further: 'J. C. Napier, who gave up his position as Register of the Treasury rather than submit to segregation, is entitled to praise for focusing attention on the un-American plan.' We dislike very much to spoil a good story, but Mr. Napier not only DID NOT give up his position rather than submit to segregation, but the columns of the Chicago Defender carried the evidence that Mr. Napier actually wrote a letter commending Secretary McAdoo and Asst. Secey. Williams, the originators, promulgators and authorities of the race segregation in government departments. Even the Washington Bee, Mr. Napier's sturdy champion in the first race publication (it being on the scene) to voice against segregation, has not claimed this distinction for Mr. Napier. "The News, which has fought segregation with might and main would not detract one iota from the credit due others who have lent and are lending their assistance in the fight, but lest the record be falsified, and as an act of simple justice to all, we feel impelled to make the foregoing statement. "But why debate the question as to whom belongs credit when the fight is not yet won; when segregation in the departments at Washington, is as much honored, both in the breach and in the observance, as it was the day the order authorizing it was promulgated. Let's first destroy segregation before splitting hairs over to whom belongs the honor. Vespers at Howard The Y.W. C. A. of Howard University cordially invites you to be present at the vesper services on Sunday afternoon, January 25, 1914, at half past four o'clock, in the Memorial Channel. Short addresses will be made by Miss Florence M. Brown, general secretary of the city association on F Street Northwest, and Mrs. Frank G. Wilkins, vice president of the Home and Foreign Missionary Society of the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church. St. Luke Parish Notes. Maj. C. A. Pfeiffer, recovering from a severe illness.

Just being determined to know how many fancy colored individuals in this neck o' the woods who had made income tax returns, I again got in communication with my "enlightenment" friend what blots signatures, and otherwise does substantial work, and got him to caze me the returns made by a few other rotund figures in chocolate financial circles here, and here's the sum total: Jim Colb returned three or four odd size engagement rings he had called back after changing his mind, specifications as to the size of the pile any affinity must have to be included in his sugeneric class, and a hope that his boss will again be appointed District Attorney. Jim Gray returned a city map showing the number of cafes released to the rear, and an approximate amount he would earn if given the only license on the avenue. Whittie McKinley returned six or eight "I-told-you-so," and a wagon load of "what-you-may-call-ems," and his private opinion of Taft for abolishing his office just when he had begun to get use to it. Dr. Will Davis returned a summary showing just how many times he had been down town since he established his drug store, and just what he had lost by being a consumate bachelor. Bill Houston returned a lot, of Odd Fellow junk, including his plans drawn up last year, for election as Grand Salary Secretary, with an increase in salary of fifty per cent, and his unexpected opinion of Henry Slaughter. Henry Slaughter returned a lavender-scented, bound volume of his estimate of Bill Houston and Link Johnson, bound in morocco and inscribed "Horribile Dictu." John Goins returned a revised edition of the same work, brought down to date with his own nota benes. Richard Achilles Horner returned a rough draft of the account of his trip to Chicago-in the interest of Bill Houston's candidacy for member of the "boa'd o' jijicashun," with introductory by Armond Scott. Doc. Sum Wormley returned list of accounts he had charged up to profit and loss, with a statement of how much he had gained by keeping out of the matrimonial market. Charley Hall returned a bran new scheme for grabbing up a hand full of stars, hurling them against chaos so as to unloosen the locks on all treasury vaults and make money roll into his lap fast enough to give Get-Rich-Quick Wallingford the jim-jams. Fred McCracken returned his carefully worked out plan for controlling Congress, and reducing a Democratic majority to a point where it would become a MacCrackenized melange. Dr. "Artie" Curtis returned a collection of red and green neck-ties, a little bit the worse for wear, but representing in the highest degree his arithmetic tastes, and his personally revised edition of Hoyle. George Cook returned his declination to serve as treasurer for the N. A. A. C. P. any longer, and a statement showing how much that declination would make for Howard and himself. Also a copy of his "My Rule For Sticking to a Good Thing." Link Johnson returned a few hookworms, a newly developed plan for outwitting Ed Morris and landing for himself the Grandmastership of the Odd Fellows, if he can get the votes, and one or two other things in general use, along with one or two alibies. Tom Clarke returned a tailor's chart showing the handsomest man on the town plat, labeled "Myself," and an omitted reference to old White Top heretofore kept in, cold storage. Ralph Tyler returned two or three paragraphs from his "Recollections of R. Wordy," and an expurgated copy "Men I Have Met." Jesse Lawson returned his new work entitled "Gum-shoeing Through the Rapids." Jim Waters returned an unabridged edition of his copious contribution to The Bee, with all the acid words left out, and praise for everybody, including Fred Moore, substituted. I asked the custodian of the feather duster if no real, tangible money-value holdings had yet been returned, and he whispered through the crevice to me, "Nothin' cept that two-bits Clinksecales returned for writing the last four briefs for Tom Jones." I've about concluded that there ain't much to expect from this here income tax law from the chocolate drops around these diggings. PROGRESS OF THE NEGRO In Indianapolis, Indiana-Progressive Men. To the casual visitor to Indianapolis there is nothing in the Negro here that attracts particular attention, and in the white man who saunters out Indiana Avenue and observes the many groups of Negroes on the street the belief is formed that the Negroes of this city form the idle, indolent, loafing class of Indiana's metropolis population. To the man who comes here and carefully investigates and studies. Indianapolis offers one of the most hopeful signs of Negro progress to be found in the North, and at the same time that one who investigates and studies conditions here cannot help but speculate on how much greater might have been the material advancement of the race here if all along there had existed a live, potent business organization here to serve as a clearing house for business ideas, energies and efforts. Heretofore there has been, apparently, no community of interests here, but rather "every man for himself" has been the prevailing sentiment. One who makes an investigating tour over this city is amazed, gratifying at the very great number of Negro business enterprises in this city. The congested condition of Indiana avenue—congested with Negroes, is due to the fact that on and about this thoroughfare are located the greater number of the Negro business offices and houses; that for a distance north, east, south and west of Senate street is the Negro business center. Indianapolis has had one great advantage in having a number of bright, progressive Negro newspapers that have done much to advertise the city. The Freeman, the nestor here of Negro journalism, with Geo. L. Knox at the helm, which has a national reputation, The Recorder, with Editor Stewart successfully guiding its destinies, which covers Indianapolis, in so far as the Negro population is concerned, like a blanket; The World, which bears the imprint of Editor A. C. Manning's scintillating ideas and hustling spirit, and one or two other publications of merit, have contributed very largely to advertise Indianapolis and her Negroes throughout the rest of the country, and the editors of these newspapers have always been active in every effort looking to the betterment of the race in and about the Indiana capitol. The creation of the colored Y. M. C. A. here, and the coming to this city, as its secretary of that very capable, energetic, admirable man, Mr. Taylor, has served as a great stumulation not only to the moral and religious uplift of the city, but to the business activity as well, for the colored Y. M. C. A. has become a center, and now its secretary is determined that Indianapolis shall have a live, influential Negro Business League, and that the principles of the Y. M. C. A. are broad enough in scope to house and inspire such an organization. In and about Indiana Avenue, extending four directions from Senate street, within four or six blocks are located eighty-four Negro business enterprises, perhaps a greater number, in a like area, than can be found in any other city, and Indianapolis is one of the very few cities in the country where the Negro has developed the manufacturing idea. The manufacturing establishment of H L. Sanders, which manufactures waiters' cooks, bakers and butchers' outfits, physicians' and dentists' operating coats, nurses uniforms and caps, and overalls, has grown to large proportions, now giving employment to some forty young men and women of the race, and selling its product throughout the country. The National Jacket Co., established in 1909, with Martin Bros., as proprietors, is engaged in manufacturing the same line, and with success. Dr. E. M. Perkins, Indiana's premier proprietor, is the manufacturer of Perkins' Cream Foot Soap which is enjoying great popularity, and which gives employment to a number of young Negroes. The J E. Earle Company manufactures harness, the Hampton Manufacturing Co., manufactures a non-punetable automobile tire, and there are other similar establishments, all of which increase the opportunities of the race by giving employment to colored men and women. One of the best conducted Negro groceries in the country, operating an auto delivery service, is located here, the Tacoma Grocery & Meat Co., and one of the largest theatres conducted by one of the race, is located here, the Crown Garden Theatre. Indianapolis boasts, and rightly, too, of one of the largest and most systematically, as well as successfully conducted real estate and insurance broker's offices, that conducted by J. Walter Hodge, a man who is referred to in Indianapolis, as "the man without an enemy." The Negro professional men of Indianapolis have long enjoyed the distinction of being at the top in their respective professions. With J. M. Lott as the brainy nestor, Indianapolis has a very clever set of Negro lawyers. Attorney Ransom being one of the most successful of the younger set. The medical profession is mostably represented. Dr. Joseph H. Ward, Dr. Armstead, and Dr. Furniss, and others, forming a galaxy of practitioners of which any community might be proud. And in Prof. Valentine Indianapolis has an educator, the equal of the best, and one to whom must largely be attributed the success of the separate schools of this city. Shelton & Willis have demonstrated the success they have attained, as funeral directors by purchasing the large substantial building adjoining the Y. M. C. A. and converting it into a home for the firm the equal of any in the city. With the talent, and with the business establishments, among Negroes, to be found in Indianapolis, a proper moulding of these into a great business organization would soon make Indianapolis the most commercial center in this country. The Business League as reorganized, and rehabilitated, inspires the hope that a greater community of interest spirit will be fostered, and that cooperation will succeed the individual success idea. With the large Negro population in Indianapolis, the great number and diversity of business establishments, and the high type of citizenship its Negro citizens represent, proper cooperation would make the Pythian Savings & Loan Bank of this city, of which Mr. Ernest G. Tidrington is president, an institution to finance other Negro industries, and assist to maintain those now in existence, or to expand, by being able to afford credit banks are supposed to extend. Indianapolis, to one who investigates, offers a hopeful sign of Negro progress, and too much credit cannot be given the Negro press of this city for having inspired the fighting spirit—a fighting for position and success in the industrial and commercial field. Indianapolis means to rival Chicago Negroes. BOARD OF EDUCATION OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, Franklin School Building, Washington, January 21, 1914. NOTICE OF EXAMINATIONS.

Such Negro journals as come with- in our notice have very promptly and positively repudiated the counsel ‘of the clergyman, Ross, delivered at ‘the Charles Sumner anniversary ‘meeting in Washington last week. ‘This, from the Bee (Washington D. ) js characteristic: “This is not ‘the time for a call to arms of the col: ored race. * * * Social equality is not what the black man wants. He wants liberty and the privilege to ex- ereise his citizenship.

BROOKLYN TABERNACLE BIBLE STUDY ON "HIS SERVANTS SHALL SERVE HIM." Luke 8:1-3; 9:57-62; 10:38-42—Jan. 25, "Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of these my brotheren, even these least, ye did it unto Mr."—Matthew 25:40 R. F. HE opening verse of this Study furnishes the key to all Jesus' preaching, so far as recorded. His one message was the Good Tidings of the Kingdom of God. Any Christian who has not learned that God's Kingdom is the very essence of the Church's hope and the world's hope has not profitably read and believed the Bible. The Jews, not being ready for the Kingdom, were as a nation rejected from being Messiah's associates in that Kingdom. But not all were rejected; hence we read that to as many as received Him gave He power to become sons of God-by the begetting and anointing of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. While thus declaring the Kingdom, Jesus was not begging His way. We have no suggestion that he ever took up a collection or in any manner solicited money. Many think this a suggestion that His followers should likewise make no appeals for money, but merely use of their own substance and whatever is voluntarily given into their possession. How- "Let the Dead Bury Their Dead." Amongst those healed was Mary of Magdala, out of whom the Lord had cast seven demons. In other words, the poor woman was in the condition of many in insane asylums. Her trouble was not organic, but caused by the harassing of the fallen angels who had taken possession of her Whoever believes the Bible must believe that there are fallen angels—spirit beings who exercise a malevolent influence upon those under their control and who must be resisted with the will. Mary, apparently, was wealthy. Released from the power of the demons, she was so grateful that she did her best to serve Jesus on every occasion. Other honorable women are mentioned as contributing to our Lord's support. "Let Me Bury My Father." Some were attracted to Jesus, evidently, with the thought that one so gifted and so well supplied with life's necessities must be wealthy. One such said, "I will follow Thee whithersoever Thou goest." But apparently his ardor cooled when Jesus informed him that He had no home of His own, although there were numerous homes to which He was welcome. Poverty attracts few. Another said in substance, Lord, count me as a disciple; but I feel that I must stay with my father until his death. Jesus' reply shows the importance which He attaches to every service rendered to the Father's Cause He said, "Let the dead bury their dead, but go thou and preach the Kingdom of God." The whole world is already dead from the Divine standpoint. Adam's death sentence involved all his children. The only ones whom the Scriptures recognize as alive are those who become related to the Life-giver. Jesus. The Master intimates that all such should take a different view of life from others. There are many to attend to earthly things: few to attend to the more important work of proclaiming the Kingdom. Another said, I will follow Thee; but first I will spend a little time in bidding my friends farewell. It was not heartlessness that suggested Jesus' answer: "No man, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the Kingdom of God." According to these searching words, who, even among the Lord's consecrated people today, is fit? We are not to judge others, but to judge self. Yet, in a general way, are not many not only looking back and making special provision for social amenities, but also plunging into many ```markdown ``` of the world's luxuries, pleasures and frivolities? The question is a searching one. How many of us will the Lord consider fit for a place in His glorious Messianic Empire, which we trust is nigh at the door: The story of Mar- Jesus Specially App- proved Mary's Spirit thu and Mary con- cludes the lesson Both loved the Savior, but manifested that love differently. Jesus did not disapprove of Martha's carefulness in providing for His comfort; but He especially appreciated Mary's spirit which drew her to His feet to hear the wonderful words of life. In our service for the Master let us remember that He is especially pleased when we give earnest attention, to His words and seek to be filled with His Holy Spirit. Today's Study represents special services which were rendered at different times during our Lord's ministry. Acceptable service, like acceptable praise, must come as a fruitage of love to the Lord. He who loves much serves much. Salaries cannot purchase this kind of service, and persecution cannot hinder it. Whoever serves the Lord's brethren serves Him. TO REORGANIZE INDIAN AFFAIRS Separate Department For Nation's Wards Urged. BILL BY ARKANSAS SENATOR Estimated That Indians Own Property Worth $1,000,000,000, Including Oil, Timber and Coal Lands—Duty of Proposed Department to Look After Rights—Red Men Losing Money. Washington.—Complete reorganization of Indian affairs, with the separation of the Indian bureau from the department of the interior, may be established by congress as a result of the failure to check the many abuses under which the Indians are suffering. Senator Robinson of Arkansas has already filed a bill to divorce the Indians from the interior department and to create what will be practically a department of Indian affairs. The Indians own property worth $1,000,000,000, including 2,000,000 acres of producing oil lands, great timber and coal areas, and cattle worth upward J. of $25,000,000. It is urged that the interior department is overburdened by its many activities and that the Indians will have a better chance for justice and fair treatment under a distinct department. The reorganized civil commission on Indian affairs will meet in Washington and will take up a number of important matters relating to Indian administration. The commission will check up on the abuses disclosed by the recent congressional investigations, and it is expected to go into the question of why the conditions disclosed in the White Earth and other reservations have not been remedied. This commission is a civilian body, acting without pay in an advisory capacity to the president and the interior department. DAMAGES FOR SNAKE BITE. "Industrial Hazard" Defined by Commission In Washington. Olympia. Wash. — Rattlesnakes infesting the country where road work is being done constitute an "Industrial hazard," and a workman bitten by a snake is entitled to compensation from the state industrial insurance fund, according to a ruling contained in the report of the state industrial insurance commission. The commission granted a claim for injury benefit. Other peculiar incidents are recorded in the report. A boy shot a workman in the eye with an air gun. The commission accepted the gun as an industrial hazard, and the claim for injury was paid. A brutal boss does not constitute a hazard within the meaning of the law as interpreted by the commission, however, and a man who was whipped by his employer was denied compensation. GIVES BABE, GETS CHICKENS. Wife, Abandoned and Destitute, Finds Home For Infant. Kansas City.-How a mother traded a year-old baby girl for six bens and a rooster because she had been deserted by her husband and could not support it has come to light through the death of Mrs. Millie Karnes after being burned at her home here. Seven months ago, according to a story told the juvenile court officers, Mrs. Karnes took the baby to a Kansas City woman and asked that she care for it. When she left the child she received the poultry. The court officers believe the baby has a good home and will leave it with the foster parents. Struck by Snowball.

IRON PRODUCTION BREAKS RECORD Estimated That Sixty Million Long Tons Were Produced In Past Twelve Months—Leading Mines Show Great Increases—The Type of Ore That Was Mined. New York.-The quantity of iron ore mined in the United States in 1913 is estimated to have been between 58,000,000 and 60,000,000 long tons. This estimate is based on preliminary reports from twenty-five of the largest iron producing districts, whose combined output is about 51 per cent of the total iron ore mined in 1912. The average increase in output shown by these twenty five companies was 8 per cent over that for 1912, and if this increase should be maintained by all the iron companies in the United States the total output of iron ore for 1913 should reach 59,500,000 long tons. At any rate, it appears almost certain that the former high record of iron ore mined, 57.014,096 long tons, in 1910, was surpassed in 1913. In the Lake Superior district, where about 85 per cent of the domestic iron ore is mined, the increase in production corresponded closely with that for the United States in general, or about 8 per cent, thus indicating a total production for that district of about 50,000,000 long tons compared with 46,368,878 tons in 1912. The year 1913 is therefore a record year for production and shipments in this district also. The preliminary figures indicate that the shipments of Lake Superior ore by water will exceed 49,000,000 long tons, which, together with the all rail shipments of more than 800,000 tons, bring the figures for total shipments of lake ore very close to the tonnage of ore mined and indicate that not much change has occurred in the stocks of ore at the mines in the lake district. These stocks amounted at the close of 1912 to about 9,500,000 long tons of ore. In the Birmingham (Ala.) district the production of iron ore in 1913, as indicated by the preliminary returns, was about 10 per cent greater than that for 1912. In Tennessee there was apparently a slight decrease and in North Carolina a slight increase. New Jersey and New York both showed slight increases, while Pennsylvania showed a slight decrease. In the Rocky mountain district of Wyoming, Colorado and New Mexico there was a slight decrease. The types of iron ore produced commercially consist of red and specular hematite, brown ore, magnetite and siderite or spathic ore. Hematite constitutes about 90 per cent of the output. Only a very small fraction of 1 per cent of the output is siderite, the production of brown ore and magnetite together constituting nearly 10 per cent of the total. TO PLUG INSANITY LOOPHOLE. Would Let Jury Pass on Madness Given as Crime Defense. New York. - After twelve months consideration of the subject of insanity as a defense to a criminal charge the committee on the law of insanity has made its report to the Society of Medical Jurisprudence. The committee found that, while criticism of the present method of procedure was general, no one was ready to offer suggestions for its improvement. Its conclusion is that the section of the pen code which defines that degree of insanity which excuses crime should be striken from the statute DURHAM. N C. and women 6. 7- 8. Department is W. C. A.

Worthington Can't Kill Game Now Except In Open Season. Washington, N. J.-More than 300 large gray deer were turned loose in the 6,000 acres of mountainous land comprising Buckwood park, owned by Henry Worthington, the pump manufacturer. Mr. Worthington owns all the land from Dunfield through the Delaware Water Gap to the Jersey side. As a result of having turned the deer loose Mr. Worthington cannot sell or kill them except in open season, which is the first five days in November. Boll Weevil Caused $500,000,000 Loss. Washington.-Figures announced by W. J. Harris, director of the census, show that the boll weevil has caused a loss in the production of cotton in the United States in excess of 10,000,000 bales, valued at least at $500,000,000. The reduction in the production of cotton due to the fact that farmers refrained from planting because of the fear that the weevil would not permit the plant to mature, he said, never can be estimated. 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." 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.

LANE'S PLAN A POPULAR ONE Colorado Congressman Opposes Operation of Mines by Government—Lane to Submit Data Prepared by Bureau of Mines to House Public Lands Committee—Result of Experiments. Washlagton.—Forces for and against Secretary Lane's project for the segregation of radium bearing lands have begun to line up. Two bills treating with the radium question were introduced in congress. Representative Foster of Illinois handed in a bill instructing the secretary of the interior to furnish information to congress as to what lands should be withdrawn. He also believes in appropriating money for surveys with a view to the possible development of radium lands by the government. Representative Ferris of Oklahoma introduced a similar bill. He desires that vanadium and uranium deposits in Alaska be withdrawn. Representative Taylor of Colorado said: "If Secretary Lane and the federal government will let the west alone in connection with radium the miners will find all the radium there is and will produce it. If they do not let us alone they will stop the production of radium, make it scarce and shoot the price up to the skies. "Mr. Lane's object is commendable. He wants to give radium to the human family and particularly to the Ameri- PETER H. Photo © by American Press Association. SECRETARY LANE can public in as large quantities and as promptly as possible, to be used in the treatment of cancer and other diseases. He has taken the wrong course. If he lets things stand as they are there will be between 1,500 and 2,000 prospectors looking for radium in the west within the next ninety days. When a demand for a mineral is established it will be supplied by miners and prospectors if it can be found. The withdrawal of radium lands will destroy private enterprise." Secretary Lane decided to appear before the house public lands committee when it meets to consider the radium bills. He has extensive data prepared by the bureau of mines special laboratory in Denver. Mr. Lane has had conferences with Dr. Howard A. Kelly of Johns Hopkins and is acting on his advice to some extent. The secretary will present to the committee the results of two years' experimental work by Dr. Kithal and Dr. Moore, who, working for the government, have discovered and perfected a new and simple method of extracting radium from uranium, which is found in the carnotite fields of Colorado. PRISON TO HAVE STADIUM. Colorado's Convicts to Play Baseball and Football. Denver.—The Colorado state penitentiary at Canon City is to have a great amphitheater. Warden Thomas J. Tynan ordered the purchase of the falt ground buildings near the city and will use the lumber for the stadium, which will be constructed inside the walls of the penitentiary. There will be a grand stand for spectators, principal among whom, of course, will be the convicts. Warden Tynan said that he believed Colorado to be the first state to authorize such a building for the entertainment of its felons. He expects the amphitheater to be completed by spring. There is abundant room within the prison walls for all outdoor sports, including baseball and football Kidney Disease Due to Fear Kidney Disease Due to Pearl. Boston.—Fear or anger may turn so much sugar into a man's blood as to give him fatal kidney trouble, said Walter B.

CRABS ROOT UP SAPLINGS. They Also Steal Eggs From Under Sitting Hens. London. Some interesting facts respecting the destructiveness of certain species of crabs in Grand Cayman, an island in the British West Indies, appear in a bulletin just issued from the Royal botanical gardens at Kew and written by T. M. S. English, who has lived there three years. The edible crab, he says, grows to a considerable size, an old male being sometimes six inches across and having its larger claw no less than fourteen inches in length from its junction with the body to the end of its "jaws." The female has smaller claws, but apparently it is more destructive. They are great burrowers and cannibals too. In places where they abound nothing is safe from them. They will take into their holes things for which they cannot concevably find a use—a knife, for instance, or a pocket compass. They will eat the eggs from under a sitting ben, if not the ben herself, as readily as the leaves of seedling coconut trees, and of these from 0 to 10 per cent have to be replaced if they are planted in newly cleared ground before the crabs have been very thoroughly thinned out. They are responsible for frequent patches of bare soil in the "bush," which become covered with vegetation when the crabs are gone. HIDDEN.MINES OF KNOWLEDGE Buried In the Tons of Government Printed Matter. Washington.-Vast stores of educational material, of special value to teachers. He hidden in government publications, says the federal bureau of education. Attention is called to the fact that tons and tons of reports, bulletins and miscellaneous documents are dally turned out by the government printing office containing valuable educational material, although not generally known by the public. Delving into these publications, experts of the bureau of education have discovered a wealth of teaching material hidden away, because the titles of many of these documents give no indication of their value for educational purposes. A bulletin has been prepared by the bureau as a guide to a small portion of this material, which has special significance for teachers or others interested in education. Chance to Bring Lazy and Bad Husbands to Time. Madison, Wis.-Women of Wisconsin have a new "whip" for bad husbands. The Huber work law, by which men charged with offenses which come within the jurisdiction of a justice of the peace are put to work and their money turned to those dependent upon them, nicely serves the purpose of wives. Half the jails of the state are nearly empty. They are almost wholly empty during the summer months when outdoor work can be done in a dozen occupations and when farmers are clamoring for hands. The way the housewife can bring her recreat husband to terms if he is inclined to spend too much of his wages on liquor or other things is to watch her chance to have him arrested for "disorderly conduct" or some minor charge. The judge sentences him to ninety days' labor. He returns to his old job, but the sheriff collects the wages and turns them all over to the wife. There's no getting away from the law either. If the sheriff be lax he is liable to a fine of $100, and if the prisoner, working outside of the jail, escapes across the county line he is liable to a fine of $500 or a year in jail or state prison. Sentence under the Huber law also means total abstinence from liquor. Any person giving it to a prisoner is liable to a term of thirty days in jail. Refusal to work means ten days in solitary confinement on a bread and water diet. Good work means shortening of the term by a fourth of the time. If the prisoner has no one dependent upon him his earnings, minus the court costs, are turned into the county treasury. Wife desertion and abandonment promise to decrease in Wisconsin on account of the law. WEST IS BEST FOR LAWYERS. Harvard Law School Secretary Says Beginners Make More There.

Cambridge, Mass. - The fees of a lawyer during his first year of practice average only $604; his earnings after ten years amount to an average of $5,000, according to a compilation of the incomes of recent graduates of the Harvard Law school announced by Richard Ames, secretary of the school. Earnings of young lawyers west of the Mississippi were found to be considerably greater than those of graduates locating in the east. Average earnings of these graduates in New England were found to be less than in any other section. Million Dollar Jackson Monument.

It will be published in the interest of Negro landowners, tenant farmers and of those who employ Negro labor. There is no other strictly farm newspaper in the world devoted to the interest of Negro farmers. Many of the white farm newspapers enjoy huge circulations and there is no reason why a farm paper in the interest of Negroes should not prove equally successful. In fact, occupying an exclusive field it should enjoy a success far beyond that of the usual farm publication.

Wedding Emblem Discovered by Daughter Buried In Ground. New Orleans.—Nineteen years ago Mrs. L. A. A. Gaal shook her wedding ring off her finger while cleaning tea leaves out of a teapot on the rear porch of her home. The little band of gold, which her husband had placed on her finger five years before, fell out in the grass, and search by a dozen neighbors and by Mr. and Mrs. Gaal for hours failed to reveal a trace of it. A few afternoons ago it was found, at the very spot lost, by a daughter, Miss Viola, who was but three weeks old when the, ring disappeared in the weeds. "It's now treasured beyond anything in the world," said Mr. Gaal, with the happiness of a child over a new toy. "The ring is just as pretty and shiny as it ever was. Its long slumber in the ground has not hurt it a bit. "My daughter was digging artichokes when she turned up the ring with a spadeful of dirt. She brought it to me, and I was a proud man to alip it on to the third finger of my wife's left hand for the second time." WELL, BUT IN BED 55 YEARS Mille. Lecaux's Refusal to Leave Her Couch is Unexplained. Paris.—Mille. Lecaux, who has for seventy-five years been living in the environs of Paris and in perfectly good health, has remained abed for fifty-five years. The reason is unknown. Some say it is hypochondria, others assign love affairs as the cause; but, be that as it may, in 1858 she made her decision. A caller investigating the case was shown into a white room containing a bed in a wooden alcove closed by white curtains like a sepulcher. The family objected to the visit, saying that she was in bad humor, and her authoritative voice, strong and healthy, gave evidence of the fact. She then ordered dinner—radishes, mutton and black coffee. Several doctors who have visited her report that her digestion is admirable. Her limbs are only slightly feeble from disuse. 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. Hoffman Band—Howard Theatre February 8th.

CHICAGO, Ill., Jan. 18.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People held its annual meeting last Sunday evening at Abraham Lincoln Center, at which time, beside the election of officers to replace those whose terms had expired, the reading of the reports of the various committees and other routine business, two stirring speeches were made by notable visitors—Prof. J. E. Spingarn, of New York and Roger Baldwin, of St. Louis. Prof. Spingarn, who is chairman of the board of directors of this association, is intensely interested in the work, is thoroughly conversant with every angle of the problem, a problem which he avers is more a white man's than a Negro's, and he is an orator who drives home his points with telling effect. The administration at Washington he held up the light and showed clearly their policy of discrimination. Florida's recent law preventing white teachers from teaching colored children was decried, as was the disfranchisement of 900,000 colored men in the South. All along the line were citations to prove that either the colored or the white race needed another emancipation. And what had he to offer as a solution? A battle; yes, a battle royal, not with bullets but with brains. In every city there should be a branch of the national organization whose duty it would be to fight discrimination whenever and wherever found; keep the good the race is doing constantly in the foreground, give allegiance, to the party in office who will best represent the race. Put a colored man in public office wherever possible. The vast audience was heartily in accord with all of these sentiments, but his assertion that the colored people have been living under wrong teachings, that they have been following a leader for twenty-five years whose gospel was hard work and the accumulating of money at the cost of citizenship, did not leave a very good taste in the mouths of his hearers, for he was speaking to an intelligent audience that knew the almighty dollar ruled the world, and knew that, under these same teachings, the colored people in 50 years had accumulated $1,000,000,000 worth of property. If so much can be accomplished under so called wrong teachings, what wonders are we capable of performing under right teachings? The field is large, we all cannot think alike. The race needs a Washington, a Du-Bois, and many others like them. The thing that counts in this world is results, and the thing the race most needs is loyalty within its ranks and friends without its ranks. Roger Baldwin, the one man in St. Louis who really has been doing things, looked at the situation from a slightly different viewpoint. The first thing to be gained was the confidence and respect of the white people, and this could not be accomplished by threats or bullying. The accumulation of wealth and honest, upright living was advocated as a standard by which the Negro would accomplish much to be desired. Mr. Baldwin proved plainly that without wealth no group of people could either demand or hope for full citizenship. That so well had the Negroes followed the gospel of work and accumulation of money that many of the seeming increased prejudices were simply the natural resistance of white people to prevent the Negro from securing the things that would naturally follow his steady advance along all lines. Mr. Baldwin declared that there was no resistance to the Negro who lived 50 feet in the rear, but to the Negro who lived 50 feet on the back of the Negro who lived 50 feet on the same end as Prof. Spingarn. He believes that co-operation of different groups of people will accomplish more than a distinct group battling against all others. If the professor had added to his remarks that since the colored people have accumulated some money the new abolition instead of looking upon this as a disadvantage would consider it a valuable asset and give full measure of credit to whoever inaugurated this accumulating system, remembering the Lord's message to his disciples, "My Father worked and I am come among you to work also." The thought that should be uppermost in the minds of all is not to destroy but to build up. Not pointing out the faults of others, but their virtues; not to imagine that all whose ideas differ from ours are traitors and must be destroyed before we can advance, but "let us dip down our buckets where we are," and each individual of the race give the best that is in him whenever and wherever he can.

He told in a most interesting manner of the persistent and determined way in which the officials of the Standard Company have labored in order to bring it up to the substantial place it now occupies in the life insurance world. He retained the clean-cut methods employed by this company to gain the confidence of our people to the end that a just proportion of the vast amount of business now being poured into the coffers of the white companies he given to our own people. In part he spoke as follows: The great trouble in establishing insurance companies among our people is that it is difficult for our people to understand the advantage of pulling together for the common and their own good. For instance, the Metropolitan Company employs 10,000 persons in their various departments and I cannot think of a colored person employed in any capacity by this company. Probably $50,000 or more is paid each year into this company by colored policy holders. Think of what this would mean toward supporting a colored company and giving employment to colored men and women. Heretofore you have not had an opportunity to patronize a colored old-line legal reserve company, but I am glad to say now that we have one of the finest companies in this country, white or black. This company has a $100,000 capital stock and a $25,000 surplus. We give employment to 150 persons and this number is growing, and in the office there are 15 persons to take care of the increasing business. We feel that we should get a fair portion of the business that has all along been going to various white companies and want to convince the public that we can do business like other people. Of the $25,000 spent in this country by our people for insurance, fully 90 per cent of this could be spent among our own people making employment for some of our number and helping the race in many directions."
