SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1914 MT.CARMEL CHURCH Big Crowds at Both Services MT. CARMEL BAPTIST CHURCH Entering Week and Jubilee—Rev. W. H. Jernigan's, D. D., Triumph. Hundreds Turned Away—Many Distingushed Divines Participate. The Masons Lay the Corner Stone Monday Afternoon, Notwithstanding the Severe Storm. The Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, Corner of Fourth and L Sts. N. W., has been an old landmark. The late Wm. H. Gibbons, the former pastor of the church, was apparently a young man, and he was succeeded by Rev. W. H. Jernigan, D. D., who pastored a large church in Oklahoma. For some time the officials looked around and hunted for several months for the proper man to succeed the late pastor, Rev. W. H. Gibbons. After many trial sermons had been preached by many different pastors, and after having heard Rev. Jernagin, it was decided by unanimous vote of the church that he was just the man for the church. Existing conditions and the great work that had been done by this pastor during the limited time that he has been pastor of Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, have fully demonstrated the MT CARMEL. The New Baptist Church, Corner of Third and Eye Streets Northwest, Entered Sunday, February 15. Corner Stone Laid by the Masons Monday, February.23d, 1914. Hundreds Turnel Away. the choice the committee and the entire church made. There is no man better loved, esteemed and appreciated than Rev. Jernigan. He has not only been a success at the old corner from the very day he entered the Church, but he has carried his congregation into a larger church and a better section of the city. He has purchased a piece of property at the corner of Third and Eye Streets Northwest, the church formerly attended by Woodrow Wilson, and in one of the most aristocratic neighborhoods in the city of Washington. This edifice, is indeed, one of the best churches in the city, with a seating capacity of at least 1,500. After Rev. Jernigan places a few finishing touches and makes a few alterations to enable him to increase his seating capacity and choir accommodations. Sunday morning, February 15, the entire congregation and the friends of the church marched from the corner of Third and L Streets Northwest to the new edifice at the corner of Third and Eye Streets, where interesting services were held. One of the most eloquent and interesting sermons that ever has been delivered was by this distinguished pastor, Rev. Jernagin. During the entire week the entire Program was as follows: Program. Sunday, Feb. 15, 11 A. M.—Sermon by pastor, Rev. W. H. Jernagin, D. D. Rev. Jernigan preached from Isaiah 45th, second and third verses: Attempt great things for God; expect great things from God.

Carmel Baptist Church held a sacred concert, in connection with its week of religious exercises, which were well attended. Mr. Wm. Speights was the musical director on this occasion.

The Corner Stone Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock, notwithstanding the severe snow storm, hundreds of people assembled to participate in the croner stone laying. On account of the severe weather it was decided to hold the exercises inside the church. The District Grand Lodge of Masons, the Knights of Pythias, Knights of Jerusalem, Morning Star and Columbia Lodge of Elks, participated in the exercises, but the District Grand Lodge of Masons laid the corner stone. The exercises were very interesting, especially were the address of Rev. Jernigan, who delivered a short but eloquent address of welcome to the several orders who turned out on such an occasion. His address was full of thought and gratitude to those who had braved the storm to honor Mt. Carmel Baptist Church. No one was able more delighted than Dr. Jernigan. While the wind was blowing at a velocity that made the very forms of the most steadfast shiver, hundreds stood on the outside of the new church of Mt. Carmel. Corner Stone laying by the District Grand Lodge of Masons, Monday, February 23, at 3 P. M. The District Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias and Morning Star Lodge of Elks, No. 40, turned out as guests of honor. The Knights of Pythias with their Uniform Rank, left Winslow's Hall at 2:30 for the church. The Morning Star Lodge of Elks led by its band with Prof. J. H. Willis as leader, left the True Reformers' Hall at 2:30 and marched South to Twelfth and R Streets Northwest, thence to R Street to Fifth, South on Fifth to I, East on I Street to the church. The Masonic, with Prof. N. E. Weatherless, as Grand Master, marched from the Second Baptist Church to corner of Third and I Streets. And in the midst of a great snow fall, laid the corner stone with the Masonic purchase. The Morning Star Lodge of Elks was represented by their Exalted Ruler, Mr. I. Edward Wilson, in a telling address. The K. of P. was represented by Grand Chancellor Mr. John S. Johnson, in a short address, that brought down the applause of the house. On account of death in the family of the Grand Master of Masons, he had to leave. Deputy Grand Master Mr. Abrams, delivered the address. Captain Edward Chinis, Charles Sumner No. 2, of the Uniform Rank of the K. of P., rendered a beautiful solo. The Morning Star Lodge band furnished music for this occasion, and received many comments for the excellent music rendered. The entering week collection netted more than $1,000.00. And many persons have accepted Christ. The Elks' band was a great feature of the occasion. DR. WASHINGTON'S DENIAL. Has No Interest In Odd Fellows' Building. Tuskegee Institute, Ala. Febuary 9 I have no financial interest whatever in the Colored Odd Fellows' Building at Atlanta, but as a member of the colored race, and as a citizen, I want to urge that every colored man who passes through Atlanta, or can possibly spare the time to visit the city, should embrace the opportunity of visiting the Colored Odd Fellows' Building which has been erected under the leadership of Mr. B. J. Davis. I have seen what our people are doing in every part of the United States, but in all my experience I have never seen a building of the size and character of the Odd Fellows' building built and owned by Negroes, that compares in any way to it. No pen picture of the building can do it justice; one has to see the building at first in order to appreciate its magnificent proportions and well planned rooms of various kinds and especially in order to note the degree of cleanliness, order and system which characterizes everything in connection with the building, inside and out. To see the splendid auditorium which is now in process of completion is worth a visit to the city itself. I feel that those who are inclined to have doubts as to the future of our race, or lack faith in the constructive ability of the Negro, should visit the Colored Odd Fellows' Building at Atlanta, Ga. In my opinion, it is the greatest demonstration of the efficiency of the Negro in business directions existing in this country, or in any other country. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. UNCLE REMUS' DREAM. What. Has Come to Pass—A Lesson From the Plagues of Pharaoh. And Uncle Remus in his dreams dreamed of the plagues of Pharaoh. He saw great things in his vision. And many plagues were visited on Pharaoh to soften his heart and when he refused to yield Remus retired him. Why Uncle Remus declares that no one prayed for the friends of the Negro any more than he has. He saw great possibilities in the late Arthur Pue Gorman, who wanted all the Negroes disfranchised in the State of Maryland. There was Rayner, who never saw any good in the Negro, Rosenberry, of Georgia, compared to a monkey. Jeff Davis, of Arkansas, took wings and fled to the angels. I have been praying for the redemption of the souls of these great defenders of the constitution since they came into the light light. Ben Tillman saw the handwriting upon the wall and he has the forgiveness of the Lord. Vardaman, of Mississippi, Charles Edwards, of Georgia, are the latest converts to the old religion. But the prayers of the righteous are bound to prevail. Yes, says Uncle Remus, we should never get tired of praying because there is more virtue in prayer than there is in the shot gun. If you read the plagues of Pharaoh carefully it is quite evident that they will compare with existing conditions today. Uncle Remus, while sleeping soundly upon his bed of ease, he began to talk. He murmured in almost inaudible sounds, the retirement of Vardaman and the everlasting sleep of Edwards. "I see in the far distance a chariot with Edwards the driver and in this chariot he saw Vardaman, Tillman, and many other great lovers of fair play and justice. In the right hand of Vardaiman could be seen the scalp of Judge Terrell, but not severed from his body. Just then Uncle Remus cried out O! Lord, then the hand of Senator Gallinger was raised and smote this Vardaman, which caused all other Negro lovers like Vardaman, Tillman and others to flee. In this dream Uncle Remus saw a hand writing like that one that appeared at the fast of "Belshazzar." All the prophets in the kingdom were sent for to interpret this dream of Uncle Remus, among whom were Borah, LaFollette, who came within an inch of interpreting the dream. Dickson, of "Montana," who was retired in the landslide of 1912, came forth and declared that he had a prophet who could interpret anything. Indeed, declared Dixon, this prophet can tell when a wake is dreaming or where a wild bull is going to unmask. This declaration troubled the anxiety of the Southern sinners who stood amazed with frightened eyes to know who it could be. Just then declared Uncle Remus, here is the man, Theodore Roosevelt, who has been followed from his cradle to the promised land. Dvardaman, Tillman, Edwards and all other sinners of their kind, fell upon their knees and cried O! Lord save us from the wrath to come. "Too late, cried out the spirit of Jack Johnson, I am out of your reach and am in the land and country of sunshine." JOTTINGS BY THE WAY. Say what you please, little Arthur Newman is some educator. What he doesn't know about vocational training is not set down in the books. Who is that wonderful instructor in Printing at the O Street Industrial School? He looks like a portrait of Hon. W. Calvin Chase in his idealistic youth. In deed and in truth young Calvin has got the old man on the run. And, strange to say, the old man seems to like it. Wonderful about these dads and their kids. Doctor Millie Gibbs is one of the old-line teachers and principals. She has more wisdom to the square inch than all these child-study experts rolled into a bunch. Her teachers love her. The pupils worship her. The parents do not forget admonition. Isn't it a pity that the high schools can't have a half dozen teachers like Doctor Millie Gibbs? Ische-bubble! And let me tell you, Miss Boston, of Garrison, is some educator. She holds the reins of her building with the hands of a master. If you don't believe it, start something. Has anybody seen Smith Wormley? He's all there and foursquare. Speakin' 'bout college grads, he's one that the Little Lord ought not to forget. He was some more teacher long before he wrested that A. B from Howard. He had been teaching A, B, Cs so long when he got them first two that the degree didn't even make his head swell and that's something. Of course, Smithy is a hit rhetorical; but, then, he's young yet. I saw a very dignified personage strutting down O Street the other day. He looked somewhat like Prince Henry of Prussia, but he didn't sport a beard—not yet! It was my old college chum, Moria. He has certainly taken on some dignity since the Little Lord gave him that boost. And by the way, you know Moria was intended to be Maria but, when the Lord made him and not her, his folks just did the next best thing so far as names go. His full name is the only name that he recognizes these days, and that is J. Moria Saunders, if you please sir! But, he is a real bifurcated genius all right. The Little Lord thinks he made Moria taint's so, the real, everlasting, omnipotent Lord jest natchally gave that child brains. Bare Cat has done gone into winter quarters with a vengeance. He's been in the dark so long that his eyesight is sadly affected; now he wears spectacles. And he is a spectacle. His ambition is realized at last. Ed Williams, the genial and capable Principal of M. Street, is a regular lingo artist. What he doesn't know in lingo ain't spoken and ain't never been spoke nowhere no time. He speaks, writes, and composes blank verse in thirty separate and distinct languages. Among them are Kalmuck and Icelandie and Tatar and Turanian and Senegambian. At least that's what his teachers say. He is just as much at home in Greek as in Spanish, in German as in Latin, in French as in U Street Yiddish. Funny, he don't never get no tower of Babel in his head. He don't twaddle and he don't babble he just talks sense in every language. Father Bennett and Doc Renfro were seen last week going down Eleventh Street (Northeast, if you please!) arm in arm. Regular Siamese twins. Lovely picture. They're both Masons, however; so look out! IS VILLA COLORED? General Pancho Villa, the 'conqueror on horseback' of the Constitutionalist army, the man to whom the United States Government seems to look to overthrow President Huerta, is believed to be an American colored citizen. Positively identified by W. A. Haynes, and Fred Scott, of San Francisco, Cal., two former comrades (see The San Francisco Chronicle of Feb. 12, 1914), as George Goldsbly, ex sergeant, 1st sergeant and sergeant-ma jor of the Tenth United States Cavalry.

A Worthy Woman Recognized. Miss Margaret M. Killeen, sister-in-law to Mr. John F. Costello, has been promoted to succeed the late E. K. Buchanan, in the office of Recorder Henry Lincoln Johnson. Miss Killeen, who was recently appointed a copyist, was one of the most popular ladies in the office, and one of high culture. This appointment meets the approbation of her many friends and the clerks in the office. Recorder Johnson could not have made a better appointment. The Bee Coupon.

EIGHT HOUR LAW EIGHT HOURS A DAY FOR WOMEN IN D. C. President Signs Bill, Recently Passed by Congress, and It is Now Law, Provides Three Inspectors to Enforce Provisions — Commissioners Are to Appoint One Man and Two Women at $1,200 Yearly Each. President Wilson Tuesday signed the bill limiting the hours of labor of women in the District of Columbia to eight hours, and it is effective at once. The bill reached the White House about six days ago and was referred to Attorney General McReynolds. The signature of the President was affixed within the ten-day limit allowed by law, that limit meaning the time in which the President shall hold the measure in the executive offices and not from the time it passes Congress and is signed by the Speaker and Vice President. The bill provides for three inspectors to enforce the law, one man and two women, and they are to be paid $1,200 a year each. No Money for Salaries. No appropriation has been made by Congress for payment of these salaries, and the District Commissioners will seek to have an item included in the District bill, now before the Senate Committee on Appropriations. Unless the money is specifically made available upon passage of the bill there will be no money to pay inspectors before July 1, when the District appropriation bill becomes operative. The bill provides that no female shall be employed in any manufacturing, mechanical or mercantile establishment, laundry, hotel or restaurant, or telegraph or telephone establishment or office, or by any express or transportation company in the District more than eight hours in any one day, or more than six days or more than forty-eight hours in any one week. Under the new law no female under eighteen years of age shall be employed, and none shall begin work before the hours of 7 o'clock in the morning or continue after the hour of 6 o'clock in the evening. No female shall be employed for more than six hours continuously at one time in establishments where three or more females are employed without an interval of at least three-quarters of an hour, except in cases where employment ends not later than half-past 1 o'clock in the after-night. Must Keep Time Books. The new law provides that where the nature of the business makes it impracticable to fix the recess allowed for meals at the same time for all females employed, a rearrangement of such meal times may be allowed. Every employer is to keep a time book for every female employed in his establishment, stating the wages paid, the number of hours worked by her on each day of the week, the hours of beginning and stopping such work, and the hours beginning and ending the recess for meals. The book is to be open at all times for the inspection of District officials charged with the execution of the act, who the law declares, shall be three inspectors appointed by the District Commissioners, two of whom are to be women. They are given the right to enter any establishment where they may think the law is being violated. They are also required to enforce the provisions of a previous act of Congress, which requires that seats shall be provided for all female employees not actively at work. They are to make daily reports to the Commissioners. Violations of the new law are to be punished for a first offense by a fine of not less than $20 nor more than $50; for a second offense a fine of not less than $50 nor more than $200, and for a third offense by a fine of not less than $250. Day and Night Shifts. Manager Levy, of the Frazze-Potomac Laundry said that a day and a night shift will be worked at the plant if the help can be obtained. Howard Defeats Monticello. By the score of 28 to 14 Howard Varsity ball team decisively beat their famous rivals from Pittsburgh on the spacious Manhattan Casino floor, New York. Monticello missed their great stars, the Posey brothers, who now lead the Leoni Club. The renown Indian athlete Bill Thorpe, referenced the game and Bill McKinney, of Yale, the umpire. March 20 Howard plays her greatest game against the strong St. Christopher five. This promises to be the biggest and hardest game of the season. Both teams will enter the contest with excellent records. Mr. William H. Hunt, United States Consul of St. Etienne, France, has presented a handsome one hundred dollar trophy for this contest. Preparations are now under the way, hence this bids to be the leading game of the New York season. About the second week in March Howard faces a team made up of White Stars from the famous Columbia University. This game will prove interesting to see how our best colored team compares with a good high-class white team. hot ah. A i Fe PROHIBITION UP AS A BIG ISSUE Plans of Temperance Advocates -Stir Congrass Leaders, GREAT WAVE IS NATIONAL Referendum to States For Constitu- tonal Amendment Is Expected—Nine States Already Dry and Feur More May Get Into Column This Year.

In fact, many of the leaders {n the national legislature belleve that they already see the prolilbition question looming as a national issue.

Washington.—At teast 00 per cent of all deaths of hogs from disease in the United States are caused by hog chol- era, assert specialists of the depart- ment of agriculture In a statement Ly ued in response to numerous inqulr- ies from farmers concerning methods for distinguishing hog cholera from other swine diseases. Farmers are urged to remember that cholera kills millions of hogs where other diseases kill thousands, and at: tention 1s called to the fact that prompt administration of anti-bog cholera serum is essential to success. “From a practical standpoint,” says the department, “the important thing ts to recognize bog cholera as soon a4 Possible after its appearance in a herd that the serum may be applied before the disease progresses too far. Good serum may be depended upon to pro- tect sell hogs. and even tocure a large percentage of those in the earifest stages of the disease, but it will not be of much aval! when used upon hogs that are already visibly sick.” PURE FOOD BOARD IS DEAD. Secretary Houston Abolishes Body That Caused Wiley's Troubles. Washington.—The board of food and drug inspection In the department of agriculture, which often was the cen: ter of attack by Dr. Harvey W. Wiley former chief chemist, has been abolish- ed by Secretary Houston. At the department of agriculture {t was sald the board had been abolished in the Interest of efficiency and econ- omy. Dr. Carl Alsberg, who succeeded Dr. Wiley as pure food chief, will de cide the appeals that formerly went to the board, He will be assisted by Dr. RL. Emerson of Boston. Dr. Wiley hotly attacked the pure food board in unmeasured terms at various stages of his administration, declaring its operations hampered ad. ministration of the spirit of the pure food law.

COAX M3 Dplomagyto Be Use to Gat Famous * FIHANCIER HOLDS DOCUMENT Lost Testament of Martha Washington May Yet Cause Legal Battle, How- ever—Governor Stuart Writes to Morgan Requesting Return ef Paper. Ample Funds te Carry on Fight. Richmond, Va—Members of the Daughters of the American Revolution who bate been demanding from J. P. Morgan the return of the Martha Wash- ington will, stélen from the Fairfax County courthouse during the civil war and found in the private collection of the late J, P. Morgan, have decided to ‘resort to diplomacy to regain the tress- ure instead of appealing to the law through State Senator Thornton's bill. now a law, but held up temporarily. Governor Stuart will now shoulder the burden of reclaiming the will, en- deavoring to do so by gentle persuasion ‘upon Mr. Morgan and the plea that his holding stolen property cannot refect credit on him or his family, eren though the property was taken Guring times of war and was therefore privi- leged “loot.” Governor Stuart has agreed to write ‘Mr. Morgan a letter couched in the most diplomatic language possible ask- ing for the return of the will. It fs belleved here that Mr. Morgan will accede to the governor's request and return the will, thereby avoiding ‘unplersantness and the bother of a long and bard fought law sult. Should such a sult be brought efforts will be made by the Fairfax Daughters to learn just how Mr. Morgan's father got the valuable document In bis pos- session and the {dentity of the actual taker may be learned. The Oght for the recovery of the will not only has the support of the na- tonal organization of the Daughters of the .\merican Revolution, but of ‘Virsinta patriotic socletles, 7 There will be no lack of money to push the case against Mr. Morgan should the matter finally be sent to the courts. ‘The Martha Washington will contro- versy has been attracting wide atten- tlon since December, when it was pub- lsbed that the will had been found In the Morgan collection.

UNCLE SAM TO AID CHICKEN FARMERS Suggests Poultry Clubs Fae Boys and Giri, PRIZES FOR THE BEST WORK ee ny 8: Slemeg From Income Derived From Heex heuse—Program Laid Out Fee Clube, Washington—In order to teach the ‘value and importance of the poultry im dustry, the marketing of products and the caring for poultry and eggs, the animal busbandry diviston of the bu- Teav of animal Industry of the agricul. tural department advocates the form- ing of boys’ and girls’ poultry clubs. ‘The plan is advanced by, Harry M. La- mon, senfor animal husbandman in Poultry investigations, and the depart- ment has promised to co-operate with the clubs and send speakers to the meetings. Ever since the price of eggs went soaring with the cost of living the de- partment has given sclentific attention to the subject of eggs and poultry. For Instance, it bas been discovered that the loss due to the improper handling of eggs Is enormous, extending into many millions of dollars annually. It fs also an established fact that if the farmer, who 1s the largest producer of eggs, would take more care in select- ing, grading and in marketing bis pro- duce he would receive a higher price than the average market price for eggs. On-many farms throughout the coun- try the money derived from the sale of poultry and eggs buys the stocerles and clothing for the entire family, The money from this source may be sub- stantially increased by establishing a private trade in eggs of good quality with hotels and restaurants. Mr, Lamon has outlined the orgaal- zation of clubs. It {s proposed that any boy or girl between ten and elght- een years old can become a club mem- ber by signing the roll and agreeing.to set'at least one setting of thirteen eggs during the hatching season. Members are not to pay dues or assessments, “Throughout the year,” says Mr. La- mon, “meetings should be held to dis- cuss’ the different problems of poultry management. Whenever possible the department will bave one of Its spe- clallsts present to assist in such prob- lems as may arise and to give informa- tion ér demonstration in the selection of stock and candiing. He will also assist In obtaining Grst class markets tor the sale of poultry and eggs. Each country club should hold an exhibition at least once a year, preferably in con- nection with the country fair, at which a pair of the best chickens grown by each member should be placed on exbi- bition. Thexe should compete for the regular prizes offered by the falr asso- elation. ‘There should also be a special prize offered by the members of the Poultry clubs. An exhibit of the best dozen eggs should also be made. It Is also, in my opinion, imperative that each boy and girl shall agree to study. the Instructions of the department of agriculture.” The program laid out Is a sort of progressive one for the first four years of a club's existence, it being evidently figured that at the end of the four years the older members will have reached the age lmit of membership and will be graduates par excellence in poultry raising and egg grading and handling. It 1s planned for the first year of membership that each member shall set at least three settings of egcs from pure bred stock and shall ralse seven pullets and one cockerel. All hatchings must be completed by May 15. A composition on poultry manage- ment must be submitted to the agent fn charge of club work. All meetings faust be attended and accurate records kept and sent to the agent. During the second year each member shall be required to raise at least fit- teen pure bred pullets and two cock- erels. All hatching must be completed by May 10. A palr of birds and one dozen eggs from this stock shall be exhibited at the county or state fair. A composition upon some phase of the work must also be submitted to the agent in charge of club work. Twenty-five pure bred pullets and two cockerels must be raised in the third year, a composition must also be | written and submitted and the same sized exhibit sent to the fair as during the second year. In this year May 1 must see the end of the hatching In the fourth year each member is required to raise at least thirty pure bred pullets and three cockerels. The hatching and rearing of chickens, the condition of stock and cleanliness of coops and poultry buildings. the cost of producing eggs, accuracy and neat- ness of records. attendance at meet ings, exhibits at fairs, and the written articles shall all be considered In the rating of members and awarding of prizes. - Oroville, Cal—After having pros: pected for years along the Yuba river. ‘with ttle return for his patient’ work, Frank Davidsgn bas Snally made 2 atrike—in nigoid fron pot.

Henderson It was predicted by many that the Howard University basket ball team would not be the equal of the team of former years representing the Blue and White. This has so far been borne out, but it is also true that the team representing Howard this year is far from being a mediocre team. It is a much lighter aggregation but just as fast. Gilmore is the same old star. In my opinion he outranks all of the other players in the pivotal position around this section of the country. In jumping for the ball there are few his superior, and in accurate handling of the sphere high above his head, none are his equal. Combined with his playing quality, sportsmanship of the highest order is a leading characteristic. Diminutive "Cracker" Holland comes in for a big share, of praise in this season's quota of good players. For his size, there are but few that can outdo him at the court game. He is fast, steady, passes well, and a team-worker to perfection. His experience of this year with big company will make a star of him second only to Oliver as the years go by. Henderson is 'a good player, and when held down to playing the game with all the other players taking part, he is invaluable to the team Sykes, big, strong and rangy, play well, but could get more speed and wind for improvements. Mabry knows and plays the game for a short time in all games, but at times is a little too weak to keep a consistent pace. Rector has improved in fast company and sacrifices shots for passes to team mates in better position, a fault that marked his playing' in high school circles. Lafayette is also doing better this year. It is gratifying to see Washington high school boys leading in the field of University athletics. At Syracuse, Edward Trigg, from M Street, was a member of the freshmen crew that won in the annual regatta held last spring, and this year was conceded one of the best players on the line in football. Trigg played the entire game against Carlisle. Indians in the game that came near being a defeat for Glenn Warner's tribe. At the same school Walker Bacon, of M Street, is considered one of the best athletes on the track squad. "Jimmy" Burwell, of Armstrong's track squad of last year is setting the pace for the flyers of the games in Western Pennsylvania. In the first of the indoor games, Burwell ran a close second to Carroll, of the Indiana State Normal School, who equalled the world's record for the 60 yard dash, and in the 290 yard run he won hands down. Needless to say the University of Pittsburgh athletes went wild to note one of their members able to win points in so handy a fashion. At Howard University Nutt, Maabry, Holland, Rector, Henderson and Miller, of the basket ball team, are from M Street or Armstrong high schools, and quite a few others are there who will yet be heard from in other branches of sport. For the first time the Public School Athletic League Elementary School outdoor track and field games will be held in the southwest section of the city on the Cardozo Playground. This should prove a big boost to athletics in that section of the city. Boys in the high schools are training hard to win one of the buttons offered boys who qualify in an all-round athletic test. To win, a boy must chin the horizontal bar nine times; high jump four feet; four inches, and run 220 yards in 28 seconds. Armstrong Manual Training School basket ball team played the game of its life Thursday afternoon when Howard University five in a practice game in the Armstrong gymnasium was able to defeat Armstrong by the score of 21 to 20 in two twenty minute halves. At the end of the first half the score was 11 to 9 in favor of the Tech boys, and—believe me—the Howardites had to travel at top speed to gain the coveted point needed for victory. The high school teams of indoor baseball are planning to occupy the center of the athletic stage for the next two or three weeks. At Armstrong, M Street and the Commercial high school the teams are putting on their finishing touches. ```markdown ``` Cumb. $3.00 Ceruti, 105 .

St. Petersburg. — An Italian child conductor. Willy Ferrero, aged seven and a half years, who recently conducted the imperial orchestra at a "command" performance before the czar, also gave a performance before the dowager czarina and other members of the royal family and has received from the czar a gold watch with the imperial arms set in diamonds and pearls. The czarina was so delighted with the way in which the child conducted that she gave him a large box of chocolates and promised to send him toys. He was born in America of stage parents, and listening to music became part of his daily life. At the age of two he began to show signs of talent. Listening to a piece attentively, he used to beat time and to show annoyance if the time was not what he considered right. If he liked a piece he could remember it all after bearing it three or four times. Paris was the scene of his first public appearance three and a half years ago. WANTS TO IGNORE PHOTOGRAPH BRIDES Commissioner Caminetti Would Exclude Japanese Women. Washington.—Commissioner General of Immigration Caminetti in his first annual report on the operations of his bureau says that unless congress appropriates more money for the support of the immigration service violations of the laws are bound to occur. Increased appropriations and a larger force of officers in the several stations as well as at the main office and more public health surgeons and interpreters, he says, are necessary to make M COMMISSIONER CAMINETEL possible a thorough inspection and a more strict enforcement of the law. As to Japanese immigration, he expresses doubt as to whether the "photograph" brides after having gone through a marriage ceremony by proxy, recognized as legal in Japan, are really entitled to admission. He says he does not believe "any such marriage is binding upon the United States in the administration of immigration laws and also that there is no treaty with Japan or other arrangement whatsoever that provides for the recognition by the United States of the so called marriage of a woman in Japan with a man who may be in the United States at the alleged date of the same."

London. — Litigation in a London court has revealed the fact that a considerable trade in dogs' teeth has sprung up in the Pacific islands, where they are used for currency and ornaments. The best tearing and corner teeth for the Pacific trade sell here for a guinea ($5.25) a hundred. The contract about which the litigation arose concerned 40,000 teeth at $3 a hundred The chief source of supply of the teeth are the tanneries, which buy the carcasses of dogs for their skins.

GOD'S JUDGMENTS ARE BLESSINGS HIS PLAN OF REDEMPTION. Eternal Torment Wholly Foreign to the Divinor Character—God's Judgments Are "Righteous Altogether." Death the Divine Judgment Against the Race of Adam—God's Special Judgments—The World's Judgment During the Millennium—Healing and Uplifting From Sin and Death Conditions—Destruction Only For the Wilfully Rebellious. PASTOR RUSSELL February 22. Pastor Russell still preaches orally as well as by his free "Photo-Drama of Creation," which is presenting the Gospel to eye and ear daily to thousands in the great cities. His sermons are still reaching millions through the public press. His text for today is: "When Thy judgments are abroad in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness." (Isalah 20:9:) He said: Only those who come to an advanced knowledge of God's Word can realize how Divine judgments are all good—all blessed. Under the influence of the fog of superstition, not understanding aright the teachings of the Scriptures, supposing that they teach eternal torment for the majority of our race, we feared God, rather than loved Him. We dared not say that such a judgment on God's part was wrong, malicious, devilish, yet we were unable to see it in any other light. Hence have come the general perplexity of Christendom, the general allenation of heart, and many intelligent minds driven to infidelity, to dislike to think about God and His supposedly terrible purposes respecting our race, to general awe respecting the Bible, and to fear of its misunderstood teachings. Word Shining as Never Before. Word Smiling is Never Before. But now in the dawning of the New Dispensation, the Word of God is shining as never before. One passage illuminating another, our fear gives place to reverential love and filial awe. We begin to understand that the torment doctrines which we received are wholly foreign to the Divine character, which, on the contrary, is distinctly marked by Wisdom, Justice, Mercy and Love toward all. We find ourselves now in agreement with the Scriptural declaration that God's judgments are "righteous altogether," and we delight in them. Instead of a judgment of eternal torment as a penalty for sin, we find a judgment, or sentence, of death. We agree to the righteousness of that verdict, or judgment. God had a right to demand of His creature the obedience he was able to render. He had a perfect right to destroy, him in death when he refused the blessing of life eternal on the terms of obedience. Seeing this, how rejoiced we are to note the Divine Mercy in the Plan of Redemption for the sinner and his offspring through the sacrifice of Christ! As a result we have good hope in his judgments; for He who once judged us worthy of death has with equal justice redeemed us and granted us the opportunity of eternal life through the resurrection. It was another part of the Divine judgment against our race that, instead of the death penalty's coming instantly upon Adam and Eve, it came gradually, that through the processes of gradual dying they might the better learn the lesson of "the exceeding sinfulness of sin." to the intent that, when granted the new trial secured by the merit of Christ's sacrifice, they might profit by it the more. The same principle applies to all of Adam's posterity. "The whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now, * * * waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God." (Romans 8:22, 10.) They are waiting for the establishment of Christ's Millennial Kingdom, under which they will have a full opportunity of coming to a knowledge of the Truth. This is God's provision for the world in general. What God did for Natural Israel during the Jewish Age, and what He has been doing for Spiritual Israel since Pentecost, in this Gospel Age, are matters separate and apart from His general dealing with mankind. The natural and the Spiritual Seed of Abraham are exceptions to the rule. Natural Israel under the Law Covenant and Spiritual, Israel, under the Abrahamic Covenant have been granted special privileges and blessings not granted to the world in general. From these two nominal Israel's special "overcomers" have been chosen, or elected. These shortly, in association with the Redeemer, will constitute the Kingdom of God. The overcomers of Spiritual Israel, becoming the Bride of Christ by resurrection change to the Heavenly nature, will be like Him and share His glory, and will constitute the Kingdom class, in the highest sense. The overcomers of Natural Israel, resurrected to the perfection of human nature, will constitute the earthly phase of the Millennial Kingdom. Mankind may see and have intercourse with these, but will not see nor have direct intercourse with the glorified Christ, Head and Body—the King of Glory. "God Will Judge His People." So far as the world is concerned, it has been under the one general sentence of Divine Justice, "Dying, thou shalt die." But Natural and Spiritual Israel have been dealt with as freed from the original sentence and on trial for life or death afresh under God's judgments, or disciplines. Thus it is written, "Jehovah will judge His people." Not all under these judgments have understood them; not all were in the condition of heart to receive their instructions. "The secret of the Lord is with them that fear Him; and He will show them His Covenant" (Psalm 25:14). Thus, during the Jewish Age, Israel often lapsed into more or less darkness and idolatry, and failed to see their special privileges and relationship to God under their Covenant. But amongst them were the few who with the eye of faith discerned the righteousness of God's dealing with them. Of these were the Prophets, who rehearsed the Divine rewards and punishments, declaring that they were true and righteous altogether and merciful in the extreme. Similarly during this Gospel Age Christendom as a whole has not been in the condition to hear, to understand, to appreciate, the judgments of the Lord. But some have been "Israelites indeed," who possessed the secret of the Lord and who were able to rejoice in His judgments—His righteous dealings. They have realized by faith God's love for them. "The Father Himself loveth you" (John 16:27). By faith they have appreciated the Apostle's assurance that "all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to His purpose."—Romans 8:28. God's Judgments In the World. We have seen that God's judgments in the past have been merely with those who shall constitute the Seed of Abraham (natural and Spiritual), through whom, according to the Promise, "all the families of the earth shall be blessel" (Genesis 28:14). We now note the fact that our text does not relate to either of these; for their judgments could be discerned only by the eye of faith. Our text refers to the world's judgments during the Millennial Age. Then God's judgments will be abroad in the earth—not confined merely to one nation or especially called class—and will include every member of Adam's race. And while these are declared to be the Lord's judgments, note the fact that they will be administered by The Christ of which our glorified Redeemer will be the Head, and His members, when glorified, will be the Body—the Church. The judgments of the Lord abroad in the earth will not mean havoc and dismay to mankind in general, but the very Reverse—relief, assistance, to all who come into line with all the righteous arrangements of that Kingdom, designed for their uplifting from sin and death conditions. The judgments of that Day of a thousand years will be severe—even to destruction, against the wilfully, the deliberately rebellious, after they shall have been brought to a clear appreciation of .right and wrong, good and evil, and their results—life and death. Mark the statement of the Prophet David when prophetically referring to the Millennial Age. He points out that the judgments of that time will be a cause of gladness. He says: "Say among the heathen that the Lord regneth; The world also shall be established that it shall not be moved; He shall judge the people righteously. Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; Let the sea roar, and the fulness there- of. Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein; Then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice Before the Lord; for He cometh, For He cometh to judge the earth; He shall judge the world with righteousness, And the people with His Truth."—Psalm 96:10-13. A Millennial Judgment Day. Note the words of St. Paul respecting what God has in reservation for the world. He says: God "hath appointed a Day [the thousand-year Day of Christ] in which He will judge the world in righteousness by that Man whom He hath ordained."—Lets 17:31 In this work ordained for our Lord He is to have associates—the elect Church, His members, of whom the Apostle writes, saying, "Know ye not that the saints shall judge the world?" (I Corinthians 6:2.) And the Ancient Worthies enumerated by St. Paul (Hebrews 11:32-40) will also be judges, earthly representatives of the Heavenly Kingdom. As it is written, "I will restore thy judges as at the first and thy counsellors as at the beginning."-Isaiah 1:26. Our all-wise Creator, who has thus provided both the Heavenly and the earthly judges of the world in the election from Israel and the election of the Gospel Age, has thus demonstrated, to the few who understand "the secret of the Lord," "the Mystery hidden from ages and dispensations" past. It is evident that there will be no disappointment, no failure, in respect to God's great Oath-bound Covenant made with Abraham—"In thy Seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed." The basis of the blessing is the redemptive work of Christ, finished at Calvary. The outworking of that blessing will come through the glorified Lord and the Church, His Body. The first work will be the establishment of a righteous government in the hands of those already proven absolutely loyal to God and to His righteousness—fairful even unto death. We may have full confidence that in that Kingdom justice will be laid to the line, and righteousness to the plummet, as God has promised. (Isaiah 28:17). Not only so, but we may have full confidence that mercy will have a free hand there, to do all for mankind that would be reasonable and possible. The combination of a strong Government with merciful assistants is assured by the fact that our Lord will be, not only the great King, but also the great Priest, Prophet and Teacher. Even so, also, the Church shall be kings and priests. Their office, their service, will be a combination of ruling and healing, instructing and uplifting. Everything done will come under the head of judgment—righteous dealing. Every good deed, yea, every good effort, will be rewarded. The judgment will be a blessing. It will mean an increase of harmony with the Lord and of character development, and restitutional physical experiences. (Acts 3:19-21). Instead of the ways of darkness there will be the way of light. Instead of the broad road leading to destruction, with the masses going down thereon—to the tomb—there will be the Highway of Holiness. Instead of stones of stumbling, we are assured that all the stumbling-stones shall be gathered out of the way. Instead of beastly violence, overmastering temptations and besetiments, devouring mankind because of their inability to resist the Adversary, the Bible assures us that Satan will be bound and that the wild beasts of vice and degeneracy will all be brought into subjection. Thus nothing "shall hurt or destroy in all God's holy Mountain [Kingdom]." "And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called the Way of Holiness."—Isaiah 11:9; 35:8. The Messianic Psalm—seventy-second—finds its application in that glorious Millennial Epoch. Thus we read: "Give the King Thy judgments, O God, and Thy righteousness unto the King's Son. He shall judge Thy people with righteousness and Thy poor with judgment [justice]. * * * He shall judge the poor of the people. He shall save the children of the needy and shall break in pieces the oppressor. * * * He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass, as showers that water the earth. In His days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace as long as the moon endureth." "The People Will Learn Righteousness." As already shown, God's dealings in the past have been with the world only in the sense of executing a general sentence for Adamic sin—a death sentence with all that it involves of mental, moral, and physical degeneracy—dying. All of God's special judgments have been with those who were justified to special relationship through faith. If we were to judge of the number who will be blessed during the Millennium by the numbers in the Little Flock of Natural Israel and the Little Flock of Spiritual Israel, saved under God's Judgments in advance of the Millennium, the outcome of the world's judgment would not appear favorable. But these would not be fair criteria. Present conditions are permitted to test and to prove the faith as well as the obedience of those who are under trial, or judgment, and who have such a faith as permits them to grasp the glorious features of the present call. Consequently, few there will be who will find the great reward now offered. —Matthew 7:14. This is as God designs it, because He is selecting a special class. But the arrangements made for mankind in general are that the darkness and sin of the present time shall flee away. The dawning of the Millennial Morning, with the rising of the Sun of Righteousness with healing in His beams (The Christ in glory to enlighten the world), will mean that knowledge will be granted mankind — facts, evidences, proofs. The world will not be required to "walk by faith and not by sight," as are the Elect of the Gospel Age. Instead of the EYE OF FAITH of the present time will be the EYE OF UNDERSTANDING (knowledge), then. Instead of the secret of the Lord being kept from the world, all of His gracious purposes will then stand fully revealed. "The knowledge of the glory of God shall fill the whole earth as the waters cover the great deep" (Habakkuk 2:14). As a result, none shall need to say unto his neighbor and to his brother, Know the Lord, for all shall know Him, from the least to the greatest of them. Every knee shall bow and every tongue confess, to the glory of God (Jeremiah 31:34; Romans 14:11; Philippians 2:10, 11). When every good deed shall receive promptly and manifestly its reward, and every evil deed shall receive promptly its punishment, the world will speedily learn to avoid the punishments and to win the rewards by obedience to the laws of the Kingdom. The Scope of Our Text. The Prophet in our context personates The Christ, Jesus the Head and the Church His Body. Note the statement in our context: "With my soul I have desired Thee in the night." The night of sin has been upon the world for centuries. The Morning is at hand, but not yet fully come. During the night time the faithful of the Church are represented as walking in the light of God's Word. "The Word is a lamp onto my feet, and a lantern unto my path." (Psalm 110: 105.) St. Peter says: "We have a more sure word of prophecy, to which we do well to take heed as unto a light shining in a dark place—until the Day dawn and the Day Star arise." (Peter 1:10.) In this night time the Elect are different from the majority of those around them. They desire God's righteousness, and they pray "The Kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth, even as it is done in Heaven." THE VOCATIONAL: SCHOOL If the enrollment in the vocational schools is an indication of the fact that they are supplying a much needed demand in our public school system, certainly the demand must be great for skilled tradesmen when one finds that the enrollment at the O Street and Cardozo Vocational Schools now amounts to over 250 students. These 250 students are pursuing trade work in sewing and dressmaking, millinery, ladies' tailoring, domestic science and household management, auto blacksmithing, machine-shop practice, brick-masonry and printing. To see these young men and women diligently working every school day for nine months in the year in order to complete their courses in two years, is indeed an encouraging feature of the vocational schools. There are many students in the vocational schools above the fifth grades who were unable to complete their elementary or high school courses for one reason or another. The cause might be dependents at home who can no longer see their way clear to finance the sending of their child for four or more years. These dependents require and demand a certain financial return for the benefits which this child has received at their hands during his previous schooling. He must seek a trade, therefore, and he finds that the trade schools meet his demands. Then, there is the student who finds himself better suited to the commercial needs of this and other cities. He finds that he can make better headway financially and influentially by perfecting himself in a trade. He discovers, then, that he is a misfit in his school and he seeks enrollment in work which will bring him the returns which he conscientiously feels he requires. Misfits in the vocational schools have been very rare. Only in a very few cases—too few to consider—have students found that they were not equipped for the particular trades which they entered. The vocational schools also contain students who have been unable to find employment after graduation from the highl and normal schools. This is particularly true of the young women although young men, graduates of the high schools, can be found pursuing work in a given trade at these schools. That the money invested in these schools, then, is finance well invested goes without saying. THE BEE VOTES FOR THURSTON NOW! Superintendent Ernest L. Thurston deserves a great deal of praise for the admirable beginning of his administration. Members of the Board of Education, white and colored, are unanimous in speaking of Mr. Thurston's tact and courtesy. They say that no superintendent of schools has shown greater efficiency in handling the daily business of his office. Each day Mr. Thurston takes up in turn the papers and issues that find their way to his desk. He decides nothing without first ascertaining for himself and in his own way all the facts. His decision is quiet but clear and firm. One issue determined, he passes to the next expeditiously. For small gossip and small people he has neither time nor use. He respects teachers, principals, supervisors, and other directing officers each in his own sphere and jurisdiction. He does not try to absorb the functions of his subordinates. And he is animated at all times and in all circumstances by a thoroughly un- PROOF OF THE PUDDING.

There was the Afro-American Council, wisely, perhaps, conceived, which claimed attention for a while, and then went to pieces upon the rocks of discord and selfish ambition. Next came the Niagara Movement with a retinu of leaders with a lot of degree suffixes to their names whose real aim it did appear was to cut down the Tuskeegan rather than to right racial wrongs. It too has gone the way of the weak, and its leaders have taken their places among the rank and file where their innately had leadership qualifications intended they should be and remain. The next movement to become vociferous in its claims and purposes was the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. This latter movement included the ultra radical leaders who failed with the Niagara Movement, but they unwittingly, perhaps, discredited Negro leadership, for which they have all along contended, by accepting white leadership. To use an inelegan, but expressive term, this movement now appears groggy because of internal dissentions, discordant ambitions and selfish desires of some connected with it. Not one of these three mentioned movements was innately bad, and perhaps not one was wrongly conceived, yet the fact remains that two have collapsed, and the third is not near so vigorous and harmonious as it was less than a half year ago. That these three should fail, in spite of good intentions, would seem to prove that each contained something that was fundamentally wrong, and some leaders who were not really leaders. That Dr. Washington's movement should survive all three must be accepted as evidence that there is much that is intrinsically correct in it, and much in him that is essential to real, lasting leadership. The proof of the pudding is in the eating. The correctness of a movement or leadership is in its surviving. Dr. Washington's movement, and his leadership, increases in popularity and good achievements with time. compromisingly professional spirit. So say the board members, so say the officials, so say the teachers. SWEET BELLS JANGLED. The life of a newspaper man in full of incident. No better vantage The Bee here and now wishes to go on record as saying that Superintendent Thurston should undoubtedly be re-elected in June for a full three-year term. He has won the confidence of every responsible element in this community. It is impossible for him or for any man to develop any large policy in less than three or four years. Such a period granted to Mr. Thurston will unquestionably result in great progress for the schools. We cast our vote for Mr. Thurston's re-election to the long term, and in doing so, we act not only in the interest of the whole community but in accordance with its wish. Thurston has convinced Washingtonians that it is not necessary to go to Timbuktu to get a first-class superintendent of schools. In promoting this splendid gentleman and brilliant educator the board of Education has given profound and deserved, encouragement to local men—the men who do the work. SEGREGATION BILL. A bill to segregate all white and colored employees in the Government departments was introduced in the House today by Congressman Edwards, of Georgia. The Edwards bill provides that "white clerks or employees shall not be required to occupy the same offices or work room with clerks or employees of African blood or descent, nor shall any white clerk or employee be placed under the orders, direction or supervision of any person of African blood or descent."—Washington Times, Feb. 23, 1914. Charles `Gordon Edwards`, of Georgia, who has been living among colored people all of his life, has just found out that it is necessary for the races in the government departments to be separated on account of color. These Southern States men? who have been reared upon a farm and when they see colored Americans who know more than they do and look better, it is something they cannot stand. Edwards is a Georgia Democrat of Savannah, Ga., and educated in a country school, Gordon Institute, no doubt a little one-horse place in Bainesville, Ga. It is said that he knows more about agriculture than he has knowledge of statesmanship. The only way that he can inform his constituents that he is in Washington is to attack the colored people. He hasn't sense enough to display real statesmanship. He hasn't the ability. Whoever heard of Edwards until he offered a bill to segregate the colored people in the government offices? If he was given an opportunity to make a speech on his bill, The Bee is confident that it would require an educated colored Georgia professor to correct it. Can Edwards make a speech unassisted? Will he visit one of our first class schools and answer questions that may be put to him by one of the pupils? The Bee is too charitable to ask him to visit our normal school principal and be introduced to one of her classes and allow one of her pupils to ask this Southern statesman to give the boundaries of his State. He would get the hiecoughs. iss, and gathers strength as it constructs, and grows more popular as the lad upon a stronger foundation than Since Dr. Booker T.

No better vantage ground for the study of human nature exists than the editorial sanctum. The Editor who is not an instinctive psychologist is no editor at all. Perhaps, the newspaperman tends to become cynical. He sees the faults of his generation at close range and comes to know them for precisely what they are. He sees the respectable deacon cast aside his religiosity to swear and whi-per petty politics. He sees the eloquent preacher damn a colleague with a shrug of the shoulders. No wonder your journalist becomes cynical. And yet, how sad it is to see a newspaperman of wide experience and great talents first become cynic and then become unprincipiled. We have in mind one of the cleverest men of this generation—a journalist, a politician, and much else—who is in the space of a twelve-month has become a literary blackhander. Perhaps, it is the accumulated cynicism of many years; perhaps, it is the reversal of his political fortunes—at any rate, our journalist has attempted to turn a profession which is constructive or nothing into an instrument for destruction. This man now rejoices in malicious anonymous attacks upon his former colleagues in political life. No venom is deadly enough to suit his pen. Mas! what a spectacle. His talents are become as sweet bells jangled, out of tune and harsh. One thing, however, is certain. No journalistic Ishmael shall pervert the columns of The Blee to his unworthy purposes. If he must abuse all those who have been his friends and praise all those who hate him, at least let him do these things over his own signature. This is the ultimatum of The Blee. WORKS DESTRUCTION. WORKS DESTRUCTION. The Democratic Congress under the guise of reform has been playing the devil with business and humanity. Now, the bill limiting the hours for women to work has worked destruction to them. The want for the necessaries of life will embarrass them as it has embarrassed the denizens of the red light sections of the city. It is a wonder that the bill didn't go further and enact a clause whom they should marry, the color of his hair, the shape of his nose and the size of his feet. These Southern hay-seeds who are not used to high living just don't know what to do to amuse themselves. Why not pass a law prohibiting babies to be born and make it a capital offense against the parents of these offsprings? Many of the laws that have been passed by this Congress are just as sensible and as reasonable as the law The Bee has just suggested. The present eight-hour law will compel those laundries and dining rooms where females are employed to be discharged. Then what will become of these girls? Again the law prohibits a girl under eighteen years of age to be employed. Girls at ten have more many of the law makers. Why doesn't Congress pass a law, making it a penalty for the wind to blow or snow to fall? Make a law against the laws of nature, just the same as it does in making laws contrary in violation of good sound sense. It can make laws for other States in violation of the Mann Act, but can make no law that will prohibit lynching in all the States in the land without an amendment to the Constitution. If the present Congress doesn't go out of existence soon, the country will. SLAVERY NOT DEAD There is as much slavery in existence in certain sections of the South today as there was subsequent to reconstruction. Georgia is guilty of practicing peonage, which is worse than slavery. This is the cause of the charge and threatened impeachment of Judge Emory Spear by the Democratic Congress. Judge Spear believes in protecting the rights of the Southern Negroes who are compelled to work in mines contrary to law and against their wish. There are persons who have preferred charges against the Judge who are living in open adultery with colored women, and yet we see laws passed by State legislatures segregating the whites and the blacks. Judge Spear is not guilty of any wrong doing. He is guilty of protecting the rights of helpless and inoffensive colored people who are held or compelled to work in mines and for wicked mine owners in violation of the constitution of the United States. If the so-called investigating committee that has the Spear case should ever report articles of impeachment, the most damnable conditions in the South and especially the State of Georgia, will be developed. While there is a great deal to deplore, the colored people in this country have nothing to fear. HOME RULE MOCKERY. Planks may be inserted in platforms of parties declaring that such or such a thing will not be done, but when success is obtained the planks are removed to fit the condition or situation for the benefit of the party in power. There are over three hundred thousand people in this city organized into Board of Trade, Chamber of Commerce and citizen associations. These organizations have a few side shows, like circus side shows connected with them, known as colored citizens' associations. Then in addition to these many associations, we have two political parties that spring in evidence every few years. These parties have delegates and national committeemen selected by the delegates to the respective Republican and Democratic conventions. The citizens of Washington have no voice in the selection of their officials, and neither are they permitted to vote on any proposition pertaining to their property rights or their civil or political liberty. Their offices are filled with nonresidents, with a few exceptions, which is contrary to the platform of these political parties. Taxation without representation is contrary to the spirit and the law of our Federal Constitution. Home rule, therefore, is a mockery. IS IT FAIR? The Bee desires to call the attention of the superintendent of schools and the Board of Education to the gross unequality of salaries. Now, we have a director of music, who does the sage work as the white director of music does and gives equal satisfaction, and yet his salary is far below his. Not only is his salary below that of the white director of music, but there are two of the music teachers under the colored assistant who are receiving several hundred dollars per annum more than the colored assistant. One of the teachers does nothing except as being an accompanist. She does nothing in the way of teaching the children, and yet she receives more money than her superior or director. Is this fair and just? Being a mere accompanist certainly doesn't entitle her to such a salary, and neither does the other teachers work in the normal school entitle her to a salary equal to the accompanist, who does no more than the other music teachers. Now here is a case where memebrs of the Board of Education could get busy and see that this accompanist doesn't receive more than regular teachers of music who are doing something or more than the colored director of music. THE CRISIS. The Bee's criticism of the Crisis has caused that journal to rise and explain. Its explanation doesn't explain at all. The three thousand dollars collected in this city and sent to New York for the organization for the Advancement of the Colored People, had its effect, because the collection made at a recent meeting by that organization, held in the 19th Street Baptist Church last week was small and the crowd slim. Segregation exists in this city and not in New York, and again, we have competent colored lawyers in this city who are able to fight segregation in the courts without sending a white man to this city from New York and pay him out of the contributions given to the association by the colored people. The Guardian, Cleveland Gazette and Afro-American Ledger will not accept the taffy that the Crisis hands out. Nothing is going to improve the commercial fields among the colored people of this and other cities than the introduction into the business world of the students now being trained, at our two trade schools. Nothing is going to crowd out the untrained man or woman in the various enterprises in which we are now engaged than the presence in these trades of trained mechanics and women of sound business and trade training. If our trade schools do no more than this, they will be filling a requirement of which Washington is no exception. The presence of the mere cobbler in our midst representing himself as a carpenter, the presence of the "botch" dressmaker in our midst representing herself as an expert in the trade, has too long ago made us unwilling in a number of instances to trust our needs to their hands. We have too often and too long paid first class prices for second class work. The time is here when they will all be crowded out of the various fields in which they are operating and their places taken by skilled mechanics. MT. CARMEL The liee as well as the citizens of Washington, extend their congratulations to Rev. W. H. Jernigan, who entered his new church of worship Sunday, February 15th, and laid the corner stone Monday, February 23. This distinguished pastor has been a success, the very moment he took charge of Mt. Carmel. Rev. Jernigan has several distinguishing characteristics which are bound to make his success. He is honest, he is progressive, and then he is one of the moral and religious men connected with the Baptist denomination. He is progressive, which is another element that adds to his success. THE SERVANT GIRL It is strange that Congress, in passing the so-called eight-hour bill for the protection of females, and those under the ages of eighteen, that it overlooked the girl under eighteen and one who works out in service, such as chambermaids, cooks, washer women and ladies' maids. Why were not this class of females overlooked? This is a good opportunity for a political demagogue to offer an amendment and send it in his district. The women certainly will regret the passage of this bill. CHARLES W ANDERSON CHARLES W. ANDERSON. Mr. Anderson is one of the brightest and one of the most brilliant-men in this country.

Yet at the usual hours the services were well attended. Rev. C. S. Coleman, pastor of Mt. Salvation Baptist Church, was present as is always his delight to be, and preached as usual, the discourse being to the current of a Christian life and exhorted his hearers steadfastness in their devotion for Christ. This was followed by testimonials, and the regular communion service, after which he served his people with a reviving sermon at night. Thus a glorious day was spent. Tuesday evening, the 17th, the parsonage of the Methodist Church was visited at an unusual hour. The pastor, Rev. Caleb E.

Rhubottom will entertain the Ladies' Aid Tuesday night the 24th inst. A. Crowded House and a Brilliant Success. The sixth annual production by the Howard University College Dramatic Club was the most brilliant so-called function of the year. Never has Howard Theatre been graced by such a fine looking, well dressed, enthusiastic and appreciative audience. The ladies outdid themselves, and it seemed to be a race between the young ladies of the city and the girls of the college, with the honors about even. Good many of the gentlemen escorts were also in full dress. The house was well crowded only a few seats remained unsold, on each floor. Hence the play from the financial standpoint, was the most successful production of the Dramatic Club since it was organized, hence too much credit cannot be given Mr. A. H. Tavernier, the manager, as he left nothing wanting nor spared any expense in securing the proper atmospheric surroundings demanded in "Richelieu." To Mr. Nathaniel Guy, the director, goes the honors for the distinct triumph of the production. He is a director of much competency as well as an actor of unusual ability. Manager Tavernier dri well to secure his services. The play carried the usual dast of a professional production, the setting was of the time of Louis XII, and the costumes and special security well carried the audience back to this historical period. The play was in five acts and seven scenes quite an heavy production for amateurs, but well handled and acted, being free from any breaks, or delays. The cast, large, but well balanced, showed excellent trunny. The leading parts were well broken out by Mr. Louis Howard as Cardinal Richelieu and Miss Harriet Harper as Julie De Mortemor, an orphan ward to Richelieu. As usual Mr. Howard lived up to his reputation of past years and gave a masterful interpretation of Cardinal Richelieu. His work was easily the outstanding feature of the production. Miss Harriet Harper shared the honors with Mr. Howard and her emotional acting was of fine quality, her articulation was a trifle weak. She possesses a soft musical voice, charming personality and easy stage graze. Mr. Charles Lane as Chevalier De Maunprat, the hero, portrays intense emotion and vindicates his right to be called an actor of rare talent and ability. Mr. Champion, in the role of Count Baradas, the villain, had the hardest part of the production. He played it in admirable style and de JOHN HENRY MR. LOUIS A. HOWARD. RICHELIEU.

Holnes Page ..J. G. Dingle Marion DeLorme, a spy for Richelieu.....Miss Bessie Nelms Miss Harriet Harper, the beautiful Southern belle of Atlanta. Ga., a freshman in the Teacher College of Howard University, who portrayed the leading female role in Richelieu in such a brilliant manner is unknown to the patrons of Washington. She is an amateur of unusual ability and much experience. While attending high school she won distinction by her masterly portrayal of "Portia" in the "Merchant of Venice," and "Prospero," in "The Tempest." Miss Harper has a strong stage personality reinforced by an exceptionally sweet and resonant voice, combined with irrespressibly fair youthfulness. Her interpretation of the role of Julie was very clever, and her emotional acting compares favorably with the leading white stars. She made hosts of friends and earned a warm place in the hearts of her Washington audience. Mr. Louis A. Howard, who appeared in the title role of Cardinal Richelieu in the successful production of the play by the same name, "Richelieu," has during his four years in college made an enviable record for himself as an amateur actor of exceptional ability. Mr. Howard though young in years, is rich in stage experience, having played leading parts in three Shakespearean productions while in his high school career. In last year's production, "The Lady of Lyons," Mr. Howard so successfully impersonated and interpreted the character of Beausant, the villain, that he received the commendation of the Washington public. The role of Richelieu offered great opportunity for dramatic work of the highest order, and this talented young actor brought out every detail in masterful style. This is senior year, and the College Dramatic Clubs will lose one of their best young stars. HALLS HILL, VA. The weather around this section has been very cold for the last few days, being in the midst of a heavy snow storm that lasted all day Friday, followed by high north wind, causing many drifts. The snow is about six or eight inches on the level. This serves an opportunity to realize real winter in the country. Occasionally the ringing of sleigh bells ar heard to enliven the scene. A very interesting program was arranged for the observation of Abraham Lincoln's birthday in Calloway M. E. Church, under the auspices of the Brotherhood, H. Dorsey, Sr. president.

Left For Gold Fields, but Never Returned—Superintendent of Infirmary Believes Mystery Is Cleared After Seven Years—Tattoo Mark Similar to One on Arm of Her Missing Son. Chicago.—"J. C. R," the "man of mystery," who has been confined for seven years in public institutions in Illinois and Minnesota, has been identified again, this time as Earl Randolph, who went to the Nevada gold mines from his home in this state. Mrs. E. I. Randolph, who says she is his mother, made the identification. In the opinion of James Fullenbach, the superintendent, the identification is complete, though at the woman's request he refuses as yet to tell where she lives. "That is my son, I am certain of it," Mrs. Randolph said when Mr. Fullenbach confronted her with his patient. "I cannot be mistaken. He left home seven years ago for Nevada, and we have never heard from him since." "J. C. R." looked at her and smiled, but gave no sign of recognition. A circle tattooed on his arm was shown to Mrs. Randolph, and she said her son was marked with just such a design. She will see "J. C. R." again and try to make the identification positive. The "man of mystery" was an inmate of the Minnesota Asylum For the Insane at Rochester for more than six years, during which time no one claimed or identified him and he was unable to say a single word in elucidation of his past. He had been picked up on the station platform at Waseca, Minn., in July, 1907, partly paralyzed and a victim of aphasia. He became a public charge and was removed to the Rochester institution, where an operation was performed. The surgeons found the brain cells in such a state of deterioration that they doubted whether he would ever recover his memory or speech. It was predicted though, that he might improve. This prediction has not yet been realized, though "J. C. R." in time became able to understand a part of what was said to him. He has never spoken a word since his treatment began. The man is described as about forty-five years old, of medium height, with hair tinged with gray and appealing brown eyes. Several times he has been "identified," once as Lieutenant Rostrom, an officer of the navy, who was said to have distinguished, himself at Matanzas in the Spanish war and then mysteriously disappeared. This and other "identifications" failed to stand the test. · DOG LEADS TO CHILD. Tugs at Mother's Apron Until She Understands What Is Wanted. Harrison, Ark.-If Mack, the English setter belonging to the family of Jim Jones, one mile west of town, did not save the Jones baby from injury he at least eased the little fellow's fear from being lost when he summoned help. The baby strayed from the Jones home to the main road a quarter of a mile away and succeeded in losing himself in the underbrush and weeds. His cries did not attract any one, but they worried the dog, and he scampered to the house. When Mack scratched on the door and Mrs. Jones opened it, the dog selzed her apron and tried to make her follow him toward the road. He repeated his effort before Mrs. Jones guessed what was wanted. When she started, Mack ran before her to where the child was hidden in the weeds. CLASHES WITH PANTHER. Hunter Wins, but Gets Pretty Well Clawed in the Fight. Ukiah, Cal.-Albert Jeans, a rancher of the Anderson valley section, is nursing bruises received in a hand to claw fight with a panther. The animal sprang upon him while he was bending over the body of its mate that he had just shot, and it was only after a desperate struggle that he managed to break the hold of the beast and to shoot it. Jeans caught the first panther in a trap and shot the animal. It measured nine feet five inches from tip to tip. The second, with which Jeans had the fight, was only a trifle more, than six feet long. SHIP ORE BY PARCEL POST. Mail Carriers In Mining Districts Face Hard Problems. Butte. Mont.-The mail carrier on the route between Stites and Elk City, Idaho, got notice that three mines in the Elk river district will ship three carloads of concentrates in fifty pound packages by parcel post to the smelter at Butte. A requisition will be obtained from the postoffice department authorizing the carrier to employ freighters. Mines in the Elk river district expect soon to ship all their concentrates by parcel post instead of by freight as in the past. FOUND GIANTS IN CHINA.

He reports to the war department that he found three giants each about eight feet high. Two of them were gate keepers at a zoological garden, one of them apparently normal except for his great size, while, says the major, the other man had a harsh, resonant, deep bass voice, such as he had never heard before. Many baldheaded women attracted the major's attention, and these women attempted to hide their baldness "by the use of black paint or stain, which merely looked dirty." Major Ashburn discovered a strange predilection of the Chinese doctors for plasters and paste, and he declared "it is a rare Chinaman who does not have a plaster stuck on some part of his anatomy." Finally he discovered that the practice of foot binding to reduce the size was carried on by the Chinese women to such an excess as sometimes to necessitate the amputation of the feet. CITY FOLKS IN THE WOODS. Careless About Their Fires and Cause Many Forest Blazes. Washington.—City folks' carelessness causes many forest fires, according to a statement just submitted to the house agricultural committee by Henry S. Graves, government forester. "In the summer time," said Mr. Graves, "the tourist and the camper from the city, unaccustomed to the woods, sets a good many fires from carelessness. We estimate that there are now using the national forests for recreation purposes upward of 1,500,000 people, and in some cases it is a very real problem with us—the guidance of the people—to keep them from setting fires carelessly. It is always due to carelessness." MEXICANS ARE HAPPY IN REFUGEE CAMP Plenty to Eat, Little Work and Many Amusements. Fort Bliss, Tex.—There are many situations more undesirable than that of a Mexican refugee enjoying American bounty at Fort Bliss. As a place where there is abundance to eat and a minimum of work, the camp has gained such repute locally that the American soldiers guarding the camp must be constantly on the lookout to prevent hungry Mexicans from crawling under or climbing over the wire fence surrounding the camp to join their more fortunate fellows within. It is only the Mexican officers who seem to feel humiliated by it and desire to escape, as half a dozen have. Except in the matter of sanitation, personal cleanliness, etc., the Mexican officers and their men are permitted to do much as they please. And they have made themselves perfectly at home. A few hours after their arrival the women of the camp had prepared as cozy a home for the winter. from the Mexican point of view, as a soldier could desire. They had little to do beyond unloading their packs containing household effects, blankets and certain treasures they had managed to save. The government has furnished conical wall tents for houses, which to most of the soldiers is a luxury. The women are the hardest workers in the camp, but they don't have to forage for food and fuel, as many of them have been doing for many months in northern Mexico. With a cheery fire to take the bite out of the north wind, and nothing to do most of the time but bask in the sun, the men, women and children in the camp are well content. Every one in the camp must take a bath at least twice a week There are showers available so that those who care to may use them every day, but only a few take advantage of them. They have their cock fights, and there is no lack of music by the band of the remnant army, most of whose members managed to save their musical instruments from the rebels and from confiscation by the American troops. POISON LABELS FOR LIQUOR. Anti-saloon League Bill Would Compel Use of Skull and Crossbones. Albany.-If the New York Anti-saloon league has its way frequenters of saloons will be confronted with a ghastly array of skulls and crossbones as they let their gaze wander along the rows of bottles to select the tipple of their fancy. According to William H. Anderson, state superintendent of the league, a bill will be introduced in the legislature to compel liquor dealers to have affixed to every bottle containing a beverage with 2 per cent of its weight made up of alcohol a label bearing the dread insignia adopted to distinguish deadly poisons.

MANUEL FORFEITS CLAIM TO THRONE King George of England Cuts Off Ex-Ruler's Allowance—Manual Carries Out the Wish of His Father-in-law, Who Feared Daughter Would Fall Into Hands of Mob. London—Ex-King Manuel of Portugal will in future be compelled to get along on his own resources, for King George, from whom he has received $50,000 annually since his dethronement, has cut him off. At the same time the former ruler of Portugal loses the title of "king," so far as official England is concerned. This has also been ordered by King George as the outcome of Manuel's renunciation of his claims to the throne of Portugal forever in favor of the Braganzas. The claim to the throne falls upon Dom Miguel of Braganza and under J. Photo by American Press Association. KING MANUEL. ordinary circumstances would devolve upon his son, Prince Miguel and husband of the former Anita Stewart, who would thereby receive the honorary title of "queen." In view of the fact that Prince Miguel has married a woman not of royal birth, his claim as pretender has been set aside in favor of his younger brother, who is now seven years old. Thus the hopes of Anita Stewart of becoming queen of Portugal are blasted forever. This arrangement was adopted at a meeting of the Braganzas in Vienna and followed the announcement to all the courts of Europe that Manuel had renounced his claims to the throne upon his marriage to Princess Augustine of Hohenzohern at Sigmaringen. Manuel thereby carried out the wish of his father-in-law, who refused to give his daughter under any other conditions, as he feared that bloodshed would accompany any attempt on Manuel's part to regain his throne, and he did not wish his daughter to run the risk of falling into the hands of the mob In so doing Manuel cut himself off from the purse of King George, who only recently learned the facts. The official order depriving Manuel of his title in England stated that it was done on "account of the internal conditions in Portugal." House & Herrmann of all kinds and description, House and Herrmann is the place to visit. There is no other house of its kind in the city where the people can be satisfied. This is house hat will satisfy you. It is well known that Manuel, through his apathy in regard to regaining his throne, has lost the sympathy of King Alfonso of Spain and a host of royalists who would have been willing to follow his lead. These followers will now flock to the standard of the Braganzas. There is no reason to believe that the new pretenders to the throne of Portugal will take any decisive steps in the near future, as it is expected in many quarters that the republic of Portugal is nearing its end of its own accord. Anita Stewart is the daughter of William Rhinelander Stewart and was married to Prince Miguel of Braganza on Sept. 15, 1900. Her mother, after her divorce, married the late John Henry Smith. Miguel was at the time of the Portuguese revolution spoken of as a substitute for Manuel. SCHOOLS FAILURES.—HILL. Inaccuracy and Impracticability Are Chief Charges. St. Paul.—"Our common and high schools are dismal failures. Accuracy is not taught in the schools, and accuracy is the main essential to success," said James J. Hill at the annual banquet of the Northwestern Yale Alumni association. Continuing he-said: "The time must come when public educational institutions must be more practical. My first public advice to all schools would be to simplify the curriculum by separating all 'facts that are so' from 'facts that are not so.'" A colored school teacher, Mr. Johnson, of near Guthrie, Okla., recently refused an offer of $100,000 for a piece of land that did not cost him one-tenth 6f that amount. An oil well has been sunk on his land which yields him a royalty of $50 per day. Mrs. Ida A. Walker, president of the Missouri State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, is just as active in fostering the commercial interest of her race in St. Joseph, her home, as she is in expanding the zone of usefulness of the Federation.

Jesus declined, saying that He was not a judge or 8 divider, and backing His refusal with & caution against covetousness. This fmplles that the man who addressed Jesus was coveting what legally be- Jonged to his brother. Jesus would ‘Rave him, and all, see that abundance o€ earthly possessions Is not the sum o¢ fe. The basis of happiness is meas- ured by the,poul's relationship to God ead bope tn Him. God's promise to Israel was that if they would keep the Law, they would inherit the Promise made to Abraham, 0d be used as God’s Kingdom to bless Se worlg. Their difficulty was that they were unable to keep the Divine re- quirements. Never. theless, the King: dom hope was ever Uppermost in thelr minds. Jesus came into the work to give ‘Himself a “Ransom for all” (1 Timothy 2, 6), and to begin the work of calling aren aA LV dA ai fee a tia “dene Rep of Coreting. “Israelites indeed,” to constitute His gssoclates In the Kingdom. He kept the Law perfectly, and, additionally, aid down His life sacrificlally for Adam and his‘race. This sacrifice en- abled Him to make good for the unin- tentional shortcomings of all “Israel- ites indeed.” While they could not keep. the Law and thus obtain the Kingdom, they could by accepting Christ have the righteousness of the Law imputed to them and be accepta- ble to God. Hence Jesus’ preaching was wholly along Kingdom lines, to the people who for centuries had striv- en to constitute that Kingdom. ‘The first opportunity for membership {m that Kingdom was granted Israel; and only in proportion as they rejected the favor did it pass to the Gentiles, as St Paul said. (Acts 13:40). In View of these facts we see tuat Jesus’ teachings were not addressed to the world, but to the people of God. “Soul, Take Thine Ease.” Our Lord gave a parable illustrating the comparative folly of all earthly ambitions in contrast with the one §reat possibility of the Kingdom. The parable tells of a rich farmer who built greater barns and storehouses, with the thought of thenceforth tak- ing his ease. But cre long he dled. Many read into this parable things which it does not contain. They infer that the rich man went to eternal tor- ment; but nothing In the Lord’s words so intimates. The expression, “This night shall thy soul be required of thee,” signifies, This night you sball dle in poverty. Earthly riches will be of no account in the future. The lesson 4s that spiritual riches should be Inld up instead. ‘That rich man might have consecrat- “ed his Ife to God through Christ. and then faithfully laid down time. tal- ent, opportunities, wealth, sacrifcially. Thus he would have laid up treasures in Heaven, and in the resurrection would have been received of the Lord 28 2 member of His Kingdom class, commissioned to scatter Divine bless- ings for a thousand years to all the families of the earth.

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. It is proposed to circulate this pa- per among the 2,000,000 black farmers of the United States. “The paper will be-cight pages, of about the size of ‘'The Country Gentleman.” DR. BOOKER T.

TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, ALA. : e Se Se eee = 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 Ad- vancement of Colored People on the Anniversary of the Birth of Frederick Douglass, February 18, 1914. Americans must not forget the birth of Frederick Douglass in a Maryland slave cabin almost a cen- tury. ago. Aftér Douglass’ first address in New England in 1843, William Lloyd Garrison asked the decisive question: “Have we been listening to a thing, a piece of property, or to a man?” Effective as was Douglass’ speech, his personality was a still more patent argument for freedom. The spirit of such a man canngt be shackled. Not one of the thousands who saw and heard Douglass upon the, platform .could honestly deny to him’and to the dark millions from whose loins he sprang, the rights of human per- sonality. Tn our day the rights of property have acquired a sanctity which his- tory assigns to the rights of man. School appropriations to the white child five times as large as to the col- fored are gravely defended upon the floor of the United States Senate by the most conspicuous leaders of the Southern whites on the ground that the landless laboring classes pay few and small taxes, an argument as pre- posterous in ecoriomics as in the practice of a democratic community, and as applicable to the landless whites of New York as to the land- less blacks of Georgia. The colored citizens of every Southern State must look to Congressmen from New York and Illinois and Iowa and Washington to strive to prevent Fed- eral funds based upon the aggregate population of each State, blacks and whites together, from being given in the South exclusively for the use in connection with those land-grant col- leges from which all colored students are excluded. The very attempt to provide facilities for extension teach- ing to the colored land grant col- leges is, say the Southern Senators in open debate, an attempt, to light the torch of racial antagonism! The South has yielded to, the political domination of “the poor whites” upon whose fathers the very slaves looked with derision. The North has yield- ed to the domination of material in- terests, with the complacent disregard for the peril to democratic institu- tions that is hound up with the po- litical, civic, and industrial -disabili- ties that are being daily devised «to retard the inevitable progress of the black man. Ten smillions of Ameri- cans are without véice or vote in the very commonwealths where their numbers are largest. Even when the apostle of the “New Freedom” speaks eloquently of “social justice,” “a con- stitution of peace,"~and the like, he speaks to white men for white men; the black American is an anomaly to which the President, as a party leader,, dares not apply his principles of democracy and Progress, At such a_time it’is needful to remind this Nation that the slave child of 1817 has begome an historical character within a century simply because he made himself the spokesman of human lib- erty and essential democracy. The fifty years of Physical freedom have not been fruitless. In popula- tion, in industrial efficiency, in health, in intelligence, in civic worth and civic courage, in all the moralities the colored people of America have gone far since Lincoln's Proclamation.

James Burwell, captain of Armstrong Manual Training School's track team of last year, has broken into the limelight of the athletic world in western Pennsylvania. He is a student at the University of Pittsburg and took part in a set of indoor games held in Duquesne Garden on February 7. A Pittsburg paper says of Burwell: "A flyer who ranks second only to Carroll (who that night equalled the indoor record for the sixty-yards dash, running for Indiana State Normal School) was discovered in the person of James Burwell, a colored lad, who claims Washington, D. C., as his home. He is a student at the University of Pittsburg and a protege of Hunter Johnson, trainer of the Blue and Gold athletes. "In the meet Saturday night, his work was of such a nature as to bring shouts of joy from the followers of the local institution who were in attendance. "While Carroll won the first heat of the sixty yards in record time, Burwell captured the second heat, and in the final heat was a close second to the Normal runner. "It was in the 220-yards dash and the manner in which he covered the distance that proved so impressing. He started with good speed and fairly flew over the course, gradually working up wonderful speed, and breasted the tape an easy winner. "Seldom have local followers of the sport seen a better stride. He seems to leap forward with every advancing stride. He seems to leap forward with every advancing move and when even far to the front pays little or no attention to the men behind. "This lad is going to win many points for Pitt, and with a man like Coach Kerr to teach him the fine points of the game, Western Pennsylvania Intercollegiate records will surely go by the boards in the sprint events at least." "Judging from his strong finishes in the shorter distances, he would make an ideal entry for the quarter-mile and relay events." The Negro citizens of Kansas City, Mo., are attempting to raise $30,000 for a colored hospital in that city. Recently they raised $30,000 for a Y. M. C. A.

Burleson to Give Him Direct Access to the Farmer. Washington.-The recent decision of the house committee on agriculture to ask for $194,000 instead of $94,000 to maintain the new division of markets in the department of agriculture makes known the plan of Postmaster General Burleson to use the division of markets and the parcel post to bring farmers and consumers together, with a view to lowering the cost of living. Circulars are to be distributed along rural free delivery routes telling the farmers of the trade opportunity offered by the postal service. These circulars will ask the farmers to record their names and addresses at convenient postoffices and then periodically file statements of the produce they wish to market and the price. The circulars will also contain information as to packing perishable products for shipment. These data will be classified and distributed among consumers in bulletin form. The department of agriculture officials are at work on practical phases of this plan of distribution. The extra $100,000 which the agricultural committee has agreed to give is to be used to teach the farmers how to get and hold city trade. TO END MENTAL TESTS. Department Makes It Easier For Students to Enter West Point. Washington. An order which will make it possible for candidates to enter the United States Military academy at West Point without taking mental examinations was issued at the war department. It provides that a candidate may be exempted from the mental examinations credited by the Military academy if in good standing in any institution accredited by the Military academy, if the entrance requirements for such institution include proficiency in algebra, geometry, English, as outlined by the college examination board, or if he can present a certificate of graduation and proficiency from institutions accepted as standard by the college examination board or if he can present a certificate showing he has passed examinations as prescribed by the college examination board. It is expected that this order will encourage young men to enter West Point and result in decreasing the number of vacancies there. FINED $1 WHEN HE CURSED HIS HORSE Magistrate Discouraged Profanity of III Tempered Driver. Huntington, W. Va.--The finer feelings of horses must not be hurt by blasphemous and profane words, even if the animals do give their drivers great provocation, according to a ruling handed down here by Magistrate Null in the case of A. J. West, who was charged with "cussing" his horse when the animal balked in the middle of the car track. To make his ruling more effective Magistrate Null tacked a fine of $1 and costs on West. West in explaining why he had used the objectionable language declared that his "hoss" was a balker and would try the patience of a Quaker. In further extenuation West said that his horse was used to being "cussed" and didn't understand any other method of persuasion. Magistrate Null, however, was adamant and refused to remit the fine on the costs. He declared that he is going to make a special effort hereafter to locate all men who "cuss" their horses and when he does so he will bring them into court, no matter what their social standing may be. When he gets them into court, the magistrate declares, he will fine them to the limit of the law. SNAKE AS AID IN ROBBERY. Crooks Had Half Starved Python to Frighten Hotel Guests. Munich.—Two international crooks were arrested at a hotel here for a pecullar attempt at robbery. The men had a half starved python with which it is alleged they intended to stampede the guests by turning it loose in the corridor. They figured that the excitement which would follow would enable them to run suck the rooms of guests. Their hopes apparently focused on jewelry worth $125,000 which belonged to an English visitor.
