Washington Bee

IF IT'S NEWS, IT'S IN THE BEE FOR THE BEE IS A NEWSPAPER. THE BEE WASHINGTON Washington's Best and Leading Negro Newspaper-That's THE BEE DISTINGUISHED SOUTHERNER Hon. James C. Napier, Ex-Register of the Treasury, Speaks. One of the most honest representatives in this country and a man who would not submit to the order of segregation issued by the Assistant Secretary of the Treasury John Skelton Williams, is Mr. James C. Napier, the ex-register of the Treasury and now cashier of the One Cent Savings Bank at Nashville, Tenn. Mr. Napier arrived in this city Sunday evening from Nashville, Tenn. A representative of The Bee had a talk with him on the present political outlook and political conditions in his State, Tennessee. Among other things Mr. Napier said that he felt confident that the Republican party would return to power; that the signs of the times indicated the unrest among the people regardless of political affiliation. Mr. Napier being asked about the recent suffrage vote of the Tennessee Senators, said: "The colored people of Tennessee have always regarded Senator Lea as their warm friend. He comes from a high-toned distinguished family that justified them in this belief. You may imagine their disappointment and chagrin when a few days ago the newspapers reported him as being lined up with Vardaman and others of his ilk in favor of the repeal of the Fifteenth amendment to the Constitution." "Every county of the State last Saturday elected delegates to the State convention, which meets at Nashville on the 15th of April. Evidences of complete harmony prevailed on every hand, and there is no sort of doubt of the nomination of Gov. Ben Hooper. He has made such a fine record for himself, been so candid with all classes of people, so strong in his advocacy for the maintenance of law and order and such a friend to prohibition and temperance that there is little or no doubt of his success. The colored brother will be largely represented in this convention and in the election next fall will prove an important factor which must be reckoned with. In Tennessee we own 9,414 farms, and the value of the products from Negro farmers for the year 1913 was $11,908,800. Is not the people who do this much for a State in one year worthy of encouragement? "Nashville has just completed a most vigorous ten days campaign to raise thirty thousand dollars as the colored people's share of a fund of one hundred thousand to erect a Y. M. C. A. building in that city. The twelve teams who had this work in hand under the leadership of Dr. Jesse T. Moorland, broke all records of other cities, and raised within this ten days among the colored people themselves thirty-three thousand four hundred sixty-four dollars and twenty cents. This makes the one hundred thousand dollar building for our people in Nashville an assured success. The whites occupy one there that cost four hundred and fifty thousand dollars. "Politics in Tennessee begin to wax warm among both Democrats and Republicans. The regular Democratic Executive Committee held a meeting in Nashville last week and when it adjourned no one could tell whether the Lea or the Shields forces had carried off the palm. There was utter failure to harmonic the regulars and the independents. This assures another contest with Gov. Hooper as the nominee of the Republicans and independents and some man from the Lea or Shields faction of the regulars as the Democratic nominee. As Hooper has defeated their candidate twice before so he will again defeat him next fall." THE MU-SO-LIT CLUB. The Largest Meeting in Its History Many Distinguished People Present. The Mu-So-Lit Club of this city presented to its members and guests last Thursday evening one of the most elaborate literary functions of the season. The Hon. Frederick C. Stevens of Minnesota, who has been for years a member of the Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce of the House of Representatives, having in charge the construction of the Panama Canal, delivered a lecture illustrated by stereoicon views prepared by himself from pictures taken on his various visits to the Isthmus. The lecture was attended by a large number of the teaching corps of the colored schools and by the pupil of Normal School No. 2. Several hundred hand-painted souvenir programs were distributed to the guests of the evening, illustrating the more picturesque scenes of the canal's development. The meeting was held at the colored Y. M. C. A., which was decorated for the occasion with flags and coats-of-arms of Panama and the South and Central American Republics, together with the red, white and blue bunting. Official hand-books of the canal were also presented to the members and guests of the club Mr. Stevens was introduced by G. Smith Wormell, president of the Mu-So-Lits, and preceded his lecture by a talk on the tolls exemption question, his committee having jurisdiction. nion over legislation affecting the cannel zone. While Mr. Stevens has given his lecture in a hundred large cities of the country, he has heretofore refused to present it to a Washington audience. His services were secured for the club by Frank A. Byron and Fred McCracken or the Executive Committee. The O Street Bulletin A very neat six-page Bulletin has just been issued by the O Street Vocational School, under the direction of Mr. W.

At a mass meeting held April 6, at the Mount Carmel Baptist Church, corner Third and I Streets Northwest, Washington, D. C., Rev. W. H. Jernagin, D. D., was elected chairman and Rev. W. J. Howard, D. D., elected secretary. The following preambles and resolutions were adopted: Whereas, on March 19th, A. D. 1914, nineteen members of the United States Senate—all Democrats—voted to repeal the Fifteenth Amendment to the constitution of the United States and thereby proving themselves inimical to the political and civil rights of the ten millions of loyal and patriotic American citizens of African decent, and Whereas, on the same date and at the same time forty-eight Senators—31 Republicans, 15 Democrats and 2 Progressives—voted against the repeal of said amendment, and Whereas, Senators Jacob H. Gallinger of New Hampshire and Charles E. Townsend of Michigan not only voted against the bill to repeal the Fifteenth Amendment, but took leading parts in defending the ten millions of loyal American citizens of African descent against unjust and scurrilous attacks by certain Senators in their advocacy on the floor of the Senate of the repeal of said amendment; therefore, be it Resolved, that this meeting of American citizens of African descent and representing all of the various religious denominations and all shades of political belief and most of the secret and benevolent societies and many lines of business in the race, do regard with alarm the growing and aggressive, the unjust, and shameful efforts which the enemies of the race and of human rights in Congress are making to annul the Constitution, and the war amendments, and destroy the principles of justice, equality before the law of all citizens, liberty and the right of self-government, without which this Republic cannot exist, and that do regard all persons—whatever their political affiliation—who seek to repeal the war amendments and to restrict the exercise of the rights guaranteed by the United States Constitution to a particular class of American citizens as enemies to the race and to our beloved country, and that we pledge ourselves to ever keep in mind all Senators and Representatives—State and national—and all other elective officers who are, or may be hereafter, guilty of such traitorous conduct, and that we will do all in our power to have our people, wherever they exercise the franchise, to vote against all such persons whenever they may run for office; and he it further Resolved, that we will do all in our power to have our people everywhere in this country support every Senator and Representative—State and national—whatever his political belief—who honestly opposes, or who shall in the future honestly oppose, the repeal of the war amendments and the restriction of the provisions of the United States Constitution to a particular class of American citizens, and be it further Resolved, that we advise our people to mark and remember the friends of the race in Congress, in State Legislatures and in every other walk of life, as well as their enemies, and that they be quick to express to these friends by voice, by letter, by public resolution and through the pulpit and the press and by means of their ballot their appreciation of any genuine, effort they may make—whether the word or act—to have justice and full manhood, civil and political rights accorded the race everywhere in this country; and be it further Resolved, that we express our M. H. MR JAMES NAPTER Ex-Register of the Treasury and now President of the One Cent Savings Bank, Nashville, Tenn. hearty thanks and appreciation to every Senator who on March 17th, A. D. 1914, voted against the repeal of the Fifteenth Amendment, and that we hold in especial esteem Senators Jacob H. Gallinger of New Hampshire and Charles E. Townsend of Michigan for their able defense of our race against the vicious, unjust and scurrilous attacks made upon us as a people by Senators Vardanan, Willmans and Newlands in the debate in the Senate on the Vardanan amendment to repeal the Fifteenth Amendment, be it also. Resolved, that copies of these resolutions be sent to Senators Gallinger and Townsend and to the daily press, and that copies of these resolutions be given to the religious and secular newspapers and magazines, to pastors and heads of secret and political organizations and women's clubs of the race throughout the country with the request that they call the attention of our people, in private and in public, at frequent intervals, to the importance of following out the lines of action recommended in these resolution. And be it Resolved finally, that a committee of seven be appointed by this meeting to present these resolutions to Senators Gallinger and Townsend, and to circulate them as widely as possible among our people everywhere in this country.

Those who failed to attend the Majestic Theater this week missed one of the most entertaining shows that has yet been upon the stage. The most sensational skit was the original after-piece written by Manager Brown, which elicited the most enthusiastic applause. Madame Lillian Brown is the leading lady. Will De Mont assumes the character of a betrayer. Manager Brown is the wronged husband, who has been betrayed by his best friend. Miss Louise Broughton, a Washington girl, who is making good, is the injured woman, who causes the greatest sensation of the act. Miss Broughton is not only an actress, but she is a singer of ability. Madame Lillian Brown and Will De Mont are also good in a farcical sketch, which elicited much applause. The entire show this week is good. Gillum and Cook, Misses Mamie Odum and Louise Williams and Miss Babe Brown are at the Majestic this week. The vaudeville is first-class, and there is a barrel of fun. If you want to see two original tramps, go to the Majestic. Everything is first-class this week. Manager Frank Brown, Madame Lillian Brown and Billie Demont and Miss Louise Broughton, in the false wife, create the wildest enthusiasm. Miss Cook is a sweet actress and singer. Misses Odum and Williams are upto-date singers. Miss Broughton is beyond all doubt making a hit in the Majestic Stock Company. BEE'S VISITORS Among the callers at The Bee office this week were Hon. J. C. Napier formerly register of the Treasury, but now President of the One Cent Savings Bank, Nashville, Tenn., and Mr. Overton Carter, teller of the One Cent Savings Bank, Nashville, Tenn.

(Special to The Bee.) Richmond, Va., March 29.—The colored Knights of Pythias of the State of Virginia and the Court of Calanthe, the female branch of the order, celebrated their thirty-fourth anniversary here today at the City Auditorium. With the members of the order and their friends the Auditorium was crowded by more than 5,000 persons from different parts of the State. The exercises were presided over by John Mitchell, Jr., the grand chancellor of the State, who is a banker, editor and former councilman—and the colored leader of the State. Upon the invitation of Mr. Mitchell, Harry S. Cummings, the Baltimore city councilman and one of the foremost colored lawyers of the country, delivered the oration. Other addresses were delivered by Chancellor Mitchell and Rev. W. H. Stokes Ph. D. pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church. Councilman Cummings spoke upon the subject, The Power of Fraternal Organizations in the Uplift of the Negro. He said in part: "Next to the Christian Church, which is the foundation stone of all human and spiritual development, those organizations known as fraternal organizations, in my judgment, are calculated, when under proper regulations, to do more real good in the development of the Negro race than any other. They, more than any other, supply those things which we so much need, and to that extent are powerful agents in our development. "One of the cardinal virtues which a fraternal organization instills is loyalty to and pride in itself. Every organization thinks it is the best of all. Its members cherish its history, glory in the achievements, worship its heroes and their good deeds. As it applies to us—this virtue should inspire up to race pride. No race or people accomplishes much—which has not pride in itself. A pride which gives birth to a determination that the race as a race shall accomplish something of merit to itself; a pride which savors of devotion and loyalty to each and every member of the race; a pride which will under no circumstances or condition waver in the support and advocacy of the interest of the race. "A pride—coupled with that courage which makes for all that is best in the development of a race—such a pride is begotten and developed in the successful operation of our fraternal organizations. "Fraternal organizations are kept intact and thoroughly cemented by the confidence reposed in their membership. "The free and open-hearted confidence bereft of all thought of disloyalty—a confidence thoughtless in every way of fear or distrust. Without this confidence no fraternal organization can exist—without it no leadership can be had and respected and without competent leadership no great good can be accomplished. "Fraternal organizations are the essence of helpfulness—one of the motives which accounts for their very existence is the desire for their members to become helpful one to the other—helpful when times go well and especially when misfortune sickness or death may come. Times come when power and wealth are helpless to save us from impending danger and the helping hand of a brother can only supply the need. It is this spirit which is fostered by the fraternal organization—and it is this spirit which should appeal to us in our onward march. Who knows the great good which would follow the practical exercise of helpfulness among us?—a firm resolution to be of service one to the other, no matter in however an humile capacity?" After the exercises a banquet was tendered Mr. Cummings at the Pythian Castle and was attended by the leading professional and business men of the city. Memorial exercises will be held in honor of the late Miss Mattie R. Bowen, under the auspices of the Bethel Literary and Historical Association in the Metropolitan Church, Tuesday evening, April 14th. Many prominent persons will take part. Special music has been selected for the occasion. ANNOUNCEMENT Extraordinary—Harper's Ferry to Be Opened Again for the People. Mr. W. W. Martin, who so successfully conducted Storer College, Harper's Ferry, W. Va., for summer boarders last year, begs leave to announce to his many friends and last year's patrons that he will in addition to those conveniences be had last year, will add the splendid new stone building known as Lincoln Hall.

GREATION DRAMA IN AUDITORIUM THEATRE PASTOR RUSSELL IS HERE In Forenoon Discourse He Discussed That Part of Creation's Drama Which Relates to the Typical Feature of the Passover Lamb—Typically, He Says, It Has Spoken the Divine Plain For Centuries—Blessings For Christian Church—Blessings For Jewish Church—And For All Nations and Kindreds, Tongues and People. Kingdom Soon to Be Established. PASTOR RUSSELL Chicago, Ill., Apr. 5.—Pastor Russell is here for the purpose of inaugurating his Photo-Drama of Creation at the Auditorium Theatre, the name of which is a guarantee that the Drama of Creation is in every respect first class. PASTOR RUSSELL One of the remarkable things in connection with this Drama, which is now running in thirty cities and witnessed by about 30,000 people daily, is that the best theaters are used—and all seats are free and no collections lifted. Asked for an explanation, Pastor Russell declared that the Photo-Drama of Creation merely presents the Gospel of the Bible, which ought always to be free. He said he has no objection to other people taking up collections, but has found no authority in the Bible for doing so himself. The Photo-Drama of Creation, he said, is financed by Christians who by it desire to re-establish faith in God and In the Bible as a Divine revelation. Pastor Russell's address was in the foremonth. The Drama was presented afternoon and evening and is to continue for some time. The text of the Pastor's discourse was: "Chri-t our Passover is slain for us; therefore let us keep the feast." (1 Corinthians 5:7. 8). He said: For thirty-five centuries God's holiest people, Jewish and Christian, have with more or less directness, and more or less understanding, celebrated the Passover. But while many have recognized the form, few have looked deeper—into its real import. Those who see the real meaning of the Passover have great cause for gratitude toward God and for confidence in the Bible, "the Word of God, which liveth and alldeth forever." To understand the Passover means to understand the Plan of God in respect to humanity. St. Paul reminds us that God's first intimations respecting His glorious purposes of mercy toward our race were given to Abraham. After God had tested his faith and obedience, He called Abraham His friend, and revealed to him in part things to come. The essence of the Divine Message of Peace was, "I will bless all the families of the earth through thy Seed"—thy posterity. (Galatians 3:8.) This, God's sure Word of Promise, was afterward confirmed with an Oath, because the time would be long, and therefore it would be necessary that the heirs of salvation should exercise faith in it. The First Passover In Egypt. Pastor Russell reviewed to his hearers the institution of the Passover. He reminded them that the children of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were in boundage to Egypt, and God commanded Pharaoh to let them go, sending chastisement after chastisement upon the Egyptians, to compel his obedience. God's mercy in lifting one plague after another merely hardened Pharaoh's heart, until the final, the teuth plague. By this plague all the first-born of Egypt died in one night; while the first-born of the Israelites living in Egypt escaped because passed over. The Passover, therefore, memorizes the favored of God. The first-born of Israel were subsequently exchanged for the tribe of Levi, which thereafter was counted especially the Lord's—some of the Levites serving as priests, sacrificing at His altar, and some of them doing an inferior service—assisting the priests in the work of instructing and blessing all the other tribes. Moses and Aaron were members of this priestly tribe, all of whom became leaders of God's chosen people in their subsequent experiences, particularly in their crossing of the Red Sea and, later, in crossing the Jordan—both typical events. The Pastor explained that before the first-borns of Israel could be passed over, a certain sacrifice was necessary, according to the Divine arrangement. A lamb without blemish was sacrificially killed, and its blood used to sprinkle the door-posts and lintels of all the dwellings of the Israelites. Each family or group repeated the same picture, sprinkling the blood of the lamb upon the door-posts and lintels, roasting the flesh, and later eating it with herbs and unleavened bread—ready for departure from Egypt for the land of Canaan. As the morning broke, the journey, out of Egypt began. Later, all the host crossed the Red Sea, the waters of which return- ing engulfed the Egyptians, who had started in pursuit of them. The Antitypical Passover. The meaning of all this to the Christian is that God has promised deliverance from the power of Satan and the slavery of sin to all who are truly His people. These were under bondage when God sent forth His Son, Jesus, to be their antitypical Lamb—to die, "the Just for the unjust," and thus to give His flesh for the life of the world. As a result of that redemptive work, the Father highly exalted Him to the spirit plane, where He was before He was made flesh. Indeed, His resurrection was to a still higher nature—the Divine, far above men, angels, principalities, powers, etc. The blood represents the life, as the Blile tells. The blood of the passover lamb thus typically represents the life which Jesus gave. The sprinkling of the blood upon the door-posts and lintels represents the part which must be experienced by all who belong to the Household of Faith. All such must trust, not in works of their own for justification before God, but in the work, the sacrifice, of Christ, who died for us, "the Just for the unjust." Not only must we exercise faith in the sense of entering into the Household of Faith, but additionally we must be of those who partake of the Lamb, who appropriate the merit of Christ's sacrifice by faith. All such are counted as being partakers of Christ's holiness, and are sharers with Him in the sufferings of this present time, and prospectively His joint-heirs in His Kingdom to come. Thus, said the Pastor, has Israel's Passover found its antikype through out this Gospel Age. From the time that Jesus died, as the Lamb of God to take away the sin of the world, to the present time, there has been a feast spread for those who are able to appreciate it. There has been a covering with the merit of His sacrifice for those who had faith to accept it. All such are counted members of the "Church of the First-born," whose names are "written in Heaven." (Hebrews 12:23.) This Church is not yet completed. Thank God! we may still sprinkle the blood of the Lamb upon the door-posts of our hearts, may still have imputed to us His precious merit, and still have the privilege of becoming members of the Church of the First-born. But the Morning is near at hand. The First-borns will soon be recognized of God. They will be "changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye." By resurrection power they will be made like unto their glorious Redeemer. They will begin their great work as the Royal Priesthood. Under the leadership of the great Prophet, Priest and King-Jesus—these under-priests, under-kings, under-prophets, will labor with Him in His great Messianic Kingdom work. These with the Redeemer will constitute the Spiritual Seed of Abraham, through whom God's blessing is to come to Natural Israel, and ultimately to every nation, people, kindred and tongue. The great work of deliverance will require a thousand years—the period of Messiah's Reign. This deliverance is pictured by the passing through the Red Sea. God's mighty hand will be exercised on behalf of all who are truly His, during the thousand years. They will escape from the power of Satan and his hosts of sin, who will be restrained for a time. In the destruction of Pharaoh's hosts in the Red Sea, we find a pictorial prophecy of the destruction of Satan and all who are his—all who love sin and hate righteousness, all who war against God and His righteous arrangements. Two Abrahamic Seeds. First the natural, afterward the spiritual, is God's order, the Apostle tells us. (1 Corinthians 15:46). In one sense of the word, the entire posterity of Jacob were the heirs of God's Promise to Abraham. The first privilege was guaranteed to them under the Law Covenant. But as God foresaw, the Jews were unable to keep that Law Covenant because, like the remainder of humanity, they are all imperfect, all sinners, and because God's Law is perfect—the measure of a perfect man's obedience and ability. But they were profited by their endeavors to keep the Law, and glorious characters were developed amongst them—Moses, David, the Prophets, and many of lesser prominence, who, as St. Paul declares, manifested their faith and obedience even unto death.—Hebrews 11:38-40. These Ancient Worthies endured not in vain. They have the promise of a better resurrection than the remainder of their nation and the world. Their is to be a resurrection to human perfection. They are to constitute the nucleus of the earthly phase of Messiah's Kingdom. To His standard, thus set up in the world, will assemble gradually, not only the natural seed of Abraham, but all of humanity desiring God's favor and everlasting life. Pastor Russell then stated that, be fore these blessings could come to Abraham and mankind in general. there must be a Spiritual Seed of Abraham. He showed that Jesus was Abraham's seed according to the flesh, but that as such He never could have accomplished His great Messianic work. It was necessary, he said, for the Man Christ Jesus to lay down His humanity sacrificially before He could be received to the glories of the Divine nature by resurrection power. So also it must be with all who will be come joint-heirs with Jesus on the Heavenly plane. -2 Peter 14. The testing of the loyalty of Jesus and all those of every nation who would be of the Spiritual Seed of Abraham has progressed now for eighteen centuries, and the Pastor believes it will soon be completed. The gathering of the Elect will complete this Age and inaugurate the New Dispensation. during which God's blessings through Messiah's Kindom will fill the earth, superseding the curse which has rested upon mankind for six thousand year-six great Days. Messiah's New Dispensation will be the antitypical Sabbath Day, a thousand years long, in which Messiah will bring in everlasting righteousness, destroy all who love unrighteousness, and grant everlasting life to all the obedient. Christ Our Passover. John the Baptist, in announcing Jesus as the great Messiah, said, "Bebold the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sin of the world." It is well that we should notice the difference between the taking away of the sin of the world and the taking away of the sin of the Church. The Church is described as the Church of the First-borns, leaving the world to have the blessing of the after-born members of the same family of God. Only by close scrutiny can we discern the deep things of God. The Spirit was promised to guide Jesus' followers into an understanding, not merely of the outward, or superficial, features of God's arrangement on man's behalf, but also into the deeper parts. The sin of the world is the Adamic sin. By one man's disobedience, sin entered the world. The penalty of that sin was not eternal torment nor purgatory. But, as the Apostle explains and as we also read in Genesis, the curse the penalty for sin, is death "Dying, thou shalt die." No one could be thoroughly released from that penalty of death—and completely resurrected out of death—except by the payment of a Ransom-price—the payment of his penalty. No member of the race could pay the penalty because every member was under that penalty himself. Hence God's compassion manifested itself in providing the Redeemer—a Ransomer. One capable of satisfying the claims of Justice and thus legally setting Adam and all of his race free from the death penalty—the curse. But while the Lamb of God was to take away the sin of the whole world and give all an opportunity for Restitution, He will not be the Passover Lamb for the world. Jesus is our Passover—the Church's Passover Lamb. This shows the difference between the deliverance of the Church during this Age, and the future deliverance of the world during the Millennium. The Church is delivered or passed over by faith—through the imputation of the merit of the Redeemer. The Church class 'may, therefore, even now speak of sins forgiven and of having passed from death unto life—but not so the world. Indeed, the taking away of the sins of the world in the next Age will be on a totally different basis. The merit of the Redeemer will not be imputed to mankind. The world will not be justified by faith. The taking away of their sins will be actual, and their justification will be actual. Special Privileges of the First-born. The Church of the First-born has special privileges and blessings, as well as special trials. In the Passover type, the lives of the first-born were in jeopardy, while the lives of others of Israel were in no danger. This signifies in the antique that the Church of the First-born will be liable to death at a time when the remainder of the world will not be thus liable. The reason for this is clear, in the light of other Scriptures, as we shall see. The call of the Gospel Age the Apostle styles a "high calling," a Heavenly calling, because the Church is not under a law. Rather, a Heavenly reward is held up before the minds of some, and they are invited to enter into a Covenant with God, to follow such a course of life in the present time as will eventually bring them to the glorious prize set before them in the invitation. That prize is sometimes styled the Kingdom, and sometimes the Divine nature—and it includes both. But if the reward is so great that Jesus called it the "pearl of great price," and St. Paul declared, that he counted all other things as loss and dross in comparison, we should not be surprised to find the conditions, or terms, for obtaining it very stringent. Notice the stringency of the call: "Gather together My saints unto Me," saith the Lord, "those who have made a Covenant with Me by sacrifice." (Psalm 60:5.1 Again, notice Jesus' words, "If any man will be My disciple, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me." Dead to the World-And All. From the foregoing Scripture, it will be noticed that the condition upon which any may become a member of the Church of the First-born is that he shall sacrifice his earthly nature. Only by faithfulness in thus sacrificing can he obtain the Heavenly nature. Unfaithfulness would hinder him from ever obtaining the new nature. As for the earthly nature, such give up all right to it, in order that they may run in the sacrificial race for the spirit nature. Hence it is that the First-borns are represented in the type as being exposed to death-annihilation. Not so the world; for the world is only under Adamic condemnation. God has promised that through Christ that curse shall be removed. Hence of all the people in the world, the only ones who at the present time are in danger of going into extinction are those who have made a consecration to be the followers of Jesus. Look back again at the type. There we see the lamb provided for all. There we see the blood upon the door-posts for all. But we see the first-born the only ones in danger. In the antitypes these, it passed over, will become the Church in Glory, the Royal Priesthood. How beautiful the picture! How solemn the thought of our opportunities and privileges, and responsibilities corresponding! ASSEMBLE MIDGET DINOSAUR. Only Six Feet Long and Has Three Horns—Found In' Montana. Washington—There are now being assembled in the National museum the bones of a very small three horned dinosaur, which is being made the type of a new species. When it will be only about six feet long and three feet high, less than one-quarter the size of the largest members of this family. The head is twenty-two inches long. In the museum are several skulls of one of the large horned dinosaurs, Trilceratops, which measure six to eight feet and in one case nine feet. The group to which the new member belongs is called the Ceratopsia, from the horns which adorn their heads—two above the eyes and one on the end of the nose. Its jaws are like those of a turtle, there being no front teeth, but a sharp curvedenk. Farther back in the jaws are cutting teeth, which show the animal to have been herbivorous. This specimen was found with the foot and tail articulated, being the first complete and connected specimen ever obtained. The foot has four toes—the first with two bones, the second with three, the fourth with five, while only a trace of the fifth toe remains, tending to show the loss of that member through disuse, as is the case with the horse. IMPROVING HEALTH OF THE FILIPINOS Washington.—A feature of the new administration in the Philippines is the educational program, which is to be greatly enlarged and popularized. Vice Governor Henderson S. Martin, who is also secretary of public instruction, according to advises received here, has determined to devote himself especial- J. HENDERSON S. MARTIN. ly to the improvement of the health of the school children, putting into practice the old precept of "a sound mind in a sound body." Already remarkable results have been attained in this direction in the Philippine schools, following the successful "corn campaign" which improved the conditions among the children. In the Manila schools alone last year, out of 24,000 children examined, 7,619 required medical attention, and as a result the more serious forms of skin diseases and trachoma are now under control. In one province many children were allied with bookworm. There are already nearly 500,000 children in the schools and it is believed that by this attention to their welfare in a comparatively short time the entire Filipino people will be greatly improved physically and mentally. NAVY MEN IN COLLEGE Progress of Young Officers at Columbia Pleases Daniels. Washington.-The rapid progress of the eighteen young naval officers under instruction in Columbia university as a result of the co-operation between the Naval academy and that institution. is highly gratifying to Secretary Daniels, he says. The officers are taking a course in which the theories of thermo-dynamics, machine design, electricity and radio are adapted to their practical application in the naval service, and in which special subjects and problems encountered aboard ship are worked out. To bring the two institutions close together the navy department furnished the university with a large number of drawings and specifications of navy machinery, and the naval students are taught the handling of this machinery to enable them to deal intelligently with contractors and manufacturers and detect faults in machinery supplied to the government. Spears a Wolf. Marinette. Wis.-Alex Johnson, fisherman, Liberty Grove, Door county, brought in for bounty a wolf which he killed by spearing. Off Rowleys bay he saw the animal adopt on a cake of ice. He broke up the ice by ramming it with his boat and then speared the wolf in the head with a pike pole. The bounty is $20. RAISES 26,448 FISH. One Acre Pond In Kansas Produces Record Breaking Number. Topeka, Kan.—Three and one-half tons of fish from an acre fish pond in three years—this is the record claimed by Professor L. L. Dyche, state fish and game warden of Kansas, for one of the experimental ponds at the state fish hatchery at Pratt. And Professor Dyche says that he could do it again, he is confident, with a little care—and a water supply. Professor Dyche believes that Kansas can be made a great fish state. Hunting, he said recently, is out of the question, but he holds that there is sufficient rainfall in the state to keep and raise fish by the wholesale. By actual count Dyche and his helpers removed 26,448 fish, weighing a total of more than 0,780 pounds, from one pond, a one acre pond, last spring. The pond was stocked in 1910 with 10,000 yearlings. Next summer any Kansas farmer who has a pond can get as many fish as are needed to stock it free from the state fish hatchery and begin raising tons of fish for himself. The fish with which Dyche stocked his pond included black bass, crappie, blue gill sunfish, common green sunfish, bull head catfish, a few hickory shad, German carp and about 300 goldfish. The goldfish are supplied as food for the others. MOURNED AS DEAD IN WATER, RETURNS ALIVE Patchogue, N. Y.—Friends of John Ryan were so sorry to hear of his death by drowning last July that they scattered $50 worth of roses on the water and didn't stop talking about what a fine fellow he was for almost a week. The other day a young man stepped up to William Farrell, who owns a hotel in Fatchogue, and sticking out his hand, remarked, "Howdy, Bill." Bill nearly had a fit, because he was one of the contributors to the flower fund for Ryan last July. "Don't you know me, Bill? I'm Ryan," said the man. "Sure, I know you for $10 worth of American Beauties," said Farrell. "Well, anyhow. I'm glad to see you. Why, weren't you drowned?" News of Ryan's return spread rapidly, and soon the "old guard" were congratulating him. Then they asked about Harry Gill, who was with Ryan when they sailed away last July in a boatto go clamming. Gill had not been heard from, and his parents mourned him as dead. "Oh, Gill's all right," said Ryan. "He's over in Jersey working at something. I guess he didn't think his folks would be worried about him." The wrecked cat boat was found on Fire Island beach, fifteen miles from Patchogue, two days after the pair left home, and a shoe identified as Ryan's was also picked up. "We reached Fire island that day," said Ryan, "and got talking over what a poor place Patchogue was for a young man with red blood. 'No future in that burg,' said Gill to me. 'Let's beat it for the big league,' said I, and we beat it. I went to South Carolina and worked off' and on, and Gill did the same in Jersey. I haven't seen him for months. No; I didn't come back with a bunch of dough." "ISOSCELES" IN 56 WAYS. They All Appear on Examination Papers of High School Pupils. DEER SAIL ON ICE FLOE. Two Safety Navigate the Neversink River and Escape. Port Jervis, N. Y.—Two deer, standing erect and looking neither to the right nor the left, passed here on an ice floe in the Neversink river. Thousands who were watching the swiftly moving waters shouted at the deer, but they paid no heed and disappeared down stream in a mass of ice, pigpens, benhouses, lumber of all kinds and debris of every description. It was learned that at the confluence of the Delaware and Neversink the floe was driven near the shore and the deer jumped off and made for the Jersey mountains. Information from Oakland, Sullivan county, says that the animals were seen on the river at that point. Spectators here tried to keep up with the deer, but the raging waters ran so swiftly that they were soon outdistanced. CROP ROTATION SUCCESS SECRET IMPORTANCE POINTED OUT. Agricultural Expert Warns Against Specializing and Makes Known His Reason—Every Farmer Should Grow Everything That Is Needed on His Place and Not Buy Supplies. New York. How shall a man make farming pay, how make it return besides interest on investment a reasonable country salary of $1,000, how manage it so as to use one's time, energy and capital to best advantage? These were some of the considerations in a lecture by John H. Barron of the state department of agriculture. "Wide studies show that usually the most profitable farms follow a diversified type of agriculture," he said. "In the state of New York forty-nine farms have been studied on which labor incomes of $2,500 or more are being made. That is, on these farms enough is made to pay all expenses and interest on the investment at 5 per cent and leave the farmer a salary of $2,500 or more. These farms sell from one to six major items, amounting to $500 or more each and in addition several minor products. The figures show that on the average there were three major and four minor sale products and besides usually some feed for farm animals. Generally then diversified farming is likely to be more profitable than specialized farming. "Specialized farming has some advantages. It may allow the development of considerable skill in the production of one or two things. A small amount of capital may be sufficient to develop one enterprise quite efficiently, whereas it would not develop several. In specialized farming large fields can be laid out and buildings so planned as to facilitate labor greatly. "Diversified farming has many advantages which outweigh the advantages of specialized farming, for the majority of farmers find it is better to have several important products as sources of income rather than one product. Diversification allows of a rotation of crops which is all but absolutely necessary for the permanence of any agricultural scheme; it usually rests total failure, for in no reason is it likely that all crops will be poor; it distributes the income over the year; it stands for economy and efficiency and provides work for man, machinery and horses a greater portion of the year than does most specialized farming. "In the establishment of a plan for diversified farming the rotation of crops must first be given attention. Most farming will get its profits from animal products and crops. The maintenance of soil fertility is of paramount importance, for without it any farm scheme's ultimately doomed to failure. It follows, then, that a good rotation will meet at least three general requirements: First, it must maintain and increase fertility; second, it will produce feeds which will nourish animals as economically as possible; third, it will furnish cash crops for sale. "To feed animals as economically as possible a good quality of roughage must be produced. For this purpose some succulence is desirable and also the products of leguminous plants, like clover, alfalfa, peas and soy beans. "In much of the dairy section of the state a good rotation is corn, oats, clover, timothy. The corn, oats and clover are fed on the farm and the timothy sold. Where the farm is not heavily stocked part of the area otherwise devoted to corn can be used for potatoes and then oats and hay follow the potatoes or corn in the regular fashion. This combination is usually better than the one first given, because it provides for two cash crops instead of one, but it cannot be developed too far, because corn and potatoes are competitive crops as to time of planting, cultivating and to an extent in harvesting. "In the planning of crop schemes it is necessary to keep a good work balance, or there may be a poor distribution of work, too much at one time and not enough at another. Noncompetitive enterprises should be chosen and at the same time enterprises which have some interdependence and relation to each other. A good scheme of farming will generally have several sources of income. In a word, it may be said to consist of a well chosen line of specialties." HELD UP BY A WOMAN. New Yorker Hands Over $47 and Runs For the Police. Philadelphia.--Arthur Law of New York acknowledged that he had been held up and that, after delivering his bank roll, consisting of $17, to a woman, he had dressed at her command, when he appeared before a magistrate and testified against May Howard, the amazon who he said did the holding up. Law said that he started to take a stroll and that when he reached a dark spot a woman confronted him. "Come arenas with what you've got or you'll get yours," she told him. He produced the $47 and ran to the nearest police station. The police caught the woman, who was held without bail.

MAGIC SHAMPOO DRIER COMPANY, MINNEAPOLIS, LIINNESOFA VIO VIIO i110 HELP THE ADAMS OIL, GAS AND DE. VELOPING COMPANY DRILL FOR OIL IN OKLAHOMA. Oklahoma oif is “liquid gold"—the miracle of the twentieth century.” The Company. The Adams Oil, Gas and Develop- -ment Company is incorporated un- der the laws of the State of Okla- homa with a capitalization of $15,000, the charter of which has just been issued. There are 15,000 shares of stock in this company, each having a Par value of $1, fully paid and non- assessable when issued. The Company’s Holdings. * The company’s properties on which drilling will be done consist of over 500 acres of some of the finest and most prospective drillable oi! and gas territory in Oklahoma, situated in the counties of Carter, Hughes, Gar- vin, Muskogee, Cherokee and McIn- tosh, with options on a sufficient amount of other prospective oil lands in the State to carry the total acre- age of the company’s holdings above 1,800 acres, Our first venture will be in Carter County, where we have under lease and at our command over 300 acres of oil land. Contract has already been made and closed for the drill- ing of ‘our first well in that county, and drilling operations will begin at once. Carter County (Healdtgn oil fields) is blooming. into what now Promises to be one of the greatest— if not the greatest—oil fields ever discovered in Oklahoma _since_the discovery of the famous Glenn Poo! oil field; and, from the present out: Took, that famous Glenn Pool oil fiele will be totally eclipsed by the won: derful Healdton-Ardmore oil field which came into existence only abou! six months ago. - ‘You can tell something of the drill. ing and operating activities now go: ine an in the Healdton-Ardmore oi field by taking a glance at tlic “Birdseye View of the Healdton Oi -Fields" shown at the top of this page and by looking cast or to the cx tceme left of that picture you wil observe approximately the locality where our first well is now beini deilled. Better still, one of our prop- erties and our first drilling location will be more clearly observed with reference to producing areas_and other drilling activities by taking a close look at and giving 2 careful study of the small map shown here- in, which shows one of our choice properties containing 120 acres -to be between and in close proximity to two producing areas. The drilling of that tract of land might prove to be a failure—it is possible, of course— but it is hard to convince old, expe- rienced oil men that this location will prove other than one of the most prolific pieces of oil properties in the Healdton oil field. Upon noting its position with reference to production you will observe that it is in direct line with the two producing areas and is on about the same level with them, all of which tend to prove, as a general proposition, that the twe fields .will mect, with this 120-acre tract of land in the center or the heart of the oil field. Acting upor that theory, some of the largest oi companies and independent oil oper. ators in the State are having a scram: ble for territory in that immediate vicinity; and, to prove their faith ir that theory and direction, this 120. atre tract is now being surroundec with rigs and drilling wells, Our Policy—The Plan. It is our policy to so handle the funds and all other matters commit: ted to our care that the most flat tering returns possible will be real. ized on all investments. While out capital stock is placed at fifteen thou: sand dollars ($15,000), ‘ve do not ex: pect to dispose of more than a max. | ee we MNS BHOUSAEG GOllars to ena- ble us to more quickly get the at- fairs of the company in proper shape, and it will only be the shares of stock sold that will participate in the dividends, the unsold stock shar- ing no part of the dividends what- ever. > ‘ For instance, one of the largest wells brought in in the Heaidton field to date came in with an initial pro- duction of ninety barrets per hour, or 2,160 barrels per day of twenty-four hours; but, to show you how divi- dends would be realized, we will not calculate on a production of 2,160 barrels per day from wells so large as the one just mentioned, but we will take the average production of the field to date, which is actually 200 barrels per day, and allowing the customary one-eighth of the 2u0 bar- rels per day for the owner of the land would leave the company 175 barrels per day for its share, and it is upon such rating (175 barrels per day) that the following statement is made, showing the approximate in- come’ of any individual on an invest- ment of $1003 + One well, 175 barrels per day for one year. or 312 days, 54,600 barrels. 54,600 barrels at $1.05 per barrel... .- 60. eeeeee nese eee$57,330 Less the very high estimated expenses for dritiing, etc... 7,330 Approximate net yearly in” come from one well........$50,000 Ratio of $100 investment to an’ is- sue of $5,000 worth of stock equals 100-5000 or 1-50; 1-50 of $50,000 equals $1,000, which is the net yearly income from one well on $100 investment: Remember in this ‘connection that one well is drilled to an average of ‘about every two and one-half acres. | A smaller or. greater investment would decrease or’ increase one’s in- come proportionately, the same as would be in the case of a smaller or larger production. To the inactive and uninformed person, such seemingly fabulous in- come as just illustrated would ap- ; Pear to be like unto fiction or a fairy tale—but truth is stranger than fic- tion, for it is a well known fact that many jnstances can be cited where a small investment in the oil busi- ness has made the investor indepen- dent for life, as the returns from the following investments, compiled from dependable tables will show: Myers Fisher, of Kansas City, shoe clerk, received within one” year | $19,500 from a $250 investment.

Our articles of incorporation are so carefully drawn as to contem- plate and permit us to enter into any and every phase of the producing and refining business of crite oils, and it is our intention, by, wise and careful management, to ultimately reach the climax in that particular. Just as soon as our first producing well is brought in, all unsold stock, except a sufficient amount for development purposes, will be withdrawn frem the market at once. We expect to own our own drilling outfit and all other machinery from the start, ne- gotiations having already been begun to that end, for then our operating expenses and the risk incurred in drilling will be reduced to the mini- mum, which will mean more and greater profits for the stockholders. Opportunity. Benjamin Disraeli said: “Opportun- ity is more powerful than prophets or conquerors.” A man’s success in life is meas- ured by investments, and your op- portunity lies in cautious, yet bold, investments. That was the plan of John D. Rockefeller, who is the Qreatest moncy power in existence. Oil is, the magnet that is drawing Louisville, Ky. April Gth, 1914. The Negroes of this city have not relaxed their efforts in their fight on the recently proposed segregation measure, and the committee appoint- ed by the colored citizens in mass meeting have gotten out a circular letter, addtessed to the “Friendly White People, of Louisville, Ken- ticky,” appealing to their reason and justice in the matter, and admirably summing up the conditions as they appear to the Negroes. The com- mittee has also recommended that letters opposing the enactment of such an ordinance be authorized to be, printed in the daily papers both white and colored. Even in the short time, the circular-letter has been out, many | have been won to the cause of the Negroes who have before been indif- ferent, and the outlook is very en-j couraging. ; | Dr, Chas. W. Dorsey, a 1911 grad-; uate of the Dental Department of| Howard University, Washington, D. C., and who is now practicing’ his te ge tng Bi huge investments to Oklahoma from the great money centers of Europe and trom the large cities of America, such as Buffalo, Chicago, New York, St. Louis, all of California, Denver, Texas, Mississippi and from every nook and corner of America. Remem- ber, foreign investors are pouring millions of dollars into the develop- ment of Oklahoma oil fields, and are not doing it blindly, because they have means; for, upon investigation, you will find that such investors are more careful as to the character of their investments than the man of small means—so the question boils itself down to this: If shrewd in- yestors can see the merit of invest- ing millions of dollars in Oklahoma oil, if the proposition can stand up to their expert and thorough investi- gation so as to command their money, isn't it good and safe enough for you? Oklahoma covers the greatest arca of high-grade oil in the world, without any exception, what- ever, and development is considered now to be in its infancy. Risk—Speculation—Safety of Invest- ments . To the average mind it is, incon- ccivable to speak of safety in_con- nection with searching for hidden treasures in the bowels of the earth, but when it is remembered that the government statistics show the risk or failures to be only 14 per cent of all wells drilled-in Oklahoma, you will sce the recurd it makes for great and quick returns, as well as for “safety.” . The Oklahoma ‘oil industry is no “skin 4ame” scheme; it is a safe ins yestment—a purely solid, commercial profession in Cleveland, Ohio, is going to remove his office and equip- ment to Louisville the latter part of May, 1914, and will practice in this city. All the Odd Fellow Lodges in this city are planning to send delegates to the B. M. C., which meets in Boston, Mass. in September, of this year, and there promises to be a lively fight on for the delegateships. Must be some- thing doing of interest to Kentucky. Dr, John Knox Polk, graduate of the Medical Department of Howard University, 1913, passed through this city last Sunday en route from Chi- cago to Lexington, Ky., where he will practice his profession. Dr. Polk is an exemplary young man, thor- oughly practicable and will succeed in Lexington as he has done in all his other. undertakings.

Dr. Polk is he son of Rev. Jas. K. Polk, of Ver- ailles, Ky. an ex-moderator of the Baptist General Association of Ken- project, sater than any other com- mercial venture to which you anght| refer. When it is recatted that the great commercial agencies tell us that 90 per cent of all new businesses fail, Jand in comparing that fact with the statement of facts previously made herein, that the risk involved in drill- ing for oil in Oklahoma is only 14 Per cent, any doubts as to the safety of investments in Oklahoma oil should disappear, ¢ Market for the Oit. Oklahoma oil has a ready and steady market. You have no need to- peddie out your oil from day to day —find a market for it today and have no market tomorrow, etc., but there aré five or more oil’ pipe lines tap- ping the Oklahoma oil fields, and the | acreage of this company is’ in eas reach of all pipe lines that connect with the fields in which the com- pany has holdings—so immediately the oil isbrought to the surface of the earth, these pipe lines will con- nect with your well at their expense and thus your oil goes to the mar- ket immediately. Oklahoma oil goes in a continuous stream in pipe lines to the Atlantic on the one hand and to the Gulf of Mexico on the other. It is used in refineries in Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Beaumont, Corsicana, Louisiana and other places, aside from other uses made of it, the pres- ent output in Oklahoma being about _ barrels per pur Avp still the | quantity increases. Profits—Life of Wells. - The profits in Oklahoma oil are the greatest and quickest of any indus. try on earth, and when you remem ber that the life of one oil or ga: well is from 12 to 30 years, you ca readily see how substantial an invest | ment in Oklahoma oil would be.

There are enough public schools in this city and indeed ‘throughout this country to cause a better showing among colored chil- dren. If Southern colored children had the same school facilities that are given colored childrep in the North, what a changed conditi¢én would exist in the South. Just think of it: poor colored children in the South, many‘of them are only allowed two and three months in school. While in the North, the colored -children have from six to nine months and many of them the same number of months white chil- dren have. ’ It is a question whether the chil- dren are given the proper training and whether teaching to some ex- tent is not misapplied. Practical education should be taught in ev- ery public and private school. Col- ored children as well as ~colored qarents should be urged upon to read more. “Too much time is de- voted to unnecessaries. This ig: norance of general and public ques- tions doesn't only obtain among the lower or ignorant classes, but there are thousands of so-called highly educated and cultured colored men and women who don't read their ewn literature or periodicals. ‘ The so-called intelligent classes tell you that they haven't time to read. Many will say they read this or that daily paper because they get the news. The Negro must be taught to read more and become ac: quainted with the events of the day. There is but one way to keep the masses informed of public events and conditions, and that way is to teach the masses through the news- papers and the church. The Bee,is and always has been in sympathy with the pulpit. The Ree believes that the ministry should be more encouraged. It is a hard proposition for a minister to preach a new sermon every Sun- day morning and evening. There are some ministers who preach a Spiritual sermon at the morning services and a practical sermon in the evening, or alternate ¥ preach a practical sepmon in .the morning and a spiritual sermon in the even- ing. Ministers are human and should be permitted to enjoy life as vther people. When The Bee says life like other people. it means life in the right direction: “There are many ways to enjoy life with- out degenerating or destroying the ministry. The teachings of the pul- pit are very often misapplied. Ti more of the practical side of life were taught the moral conditions in a community would be improved. JUDGE CLABAUGH. The memorial services held last Friday afternon in honor of the late jurist Judge Clabaugh, which were attended by the- entire legal fraternity, will be handed down to posterity. The eulogy of Mr. Justice Gould sas filled with pathos and musical eloquence. The life and character of the dead jurist made one feel that he was tinder the inspiration of lJim who went thousands of years before us. : When one lives, that in death his nearest and hest friends can speak of his noble traits and quali- ties in life without fear of contra- diction, it is indeed a life immortal. “Did the dead jurist have any faults? If he had, his noble quali- ties predominated. Did he — have qnerey? Why mercy was one_ of itis predominating qualities. Was he fair? He would rather wrong himself than to- harm the most vile. His conduct, life and every act upon the bench were d:rected to the uplift of Humanity. Mr. Justice Gould knew the man. When posterity shall have recount- ed the noble deeds of the merito- rious the memory of Judge Cla- baugh will be like the budding of a rose to the living. Is it not better to live the life of a humanitarian than that of a ty- jrant? Is it not better to have the commendation of the living after you have surrendered your soul to God of love than curses?’ What a consolation it is to the family o! this dead jurist. The loving wife and all near and dear to her will have a conscience of cqntentmeni and a memory of loving deeds The yoke of a tyrant echoes only the drastic laws of Draco wh« Wrote them in blood and whos: tae today is no honor to pos rity. “ Sach will not be the memory o Judge Clabaugh; such will not b emblazoned in the records of pos terity but as Justice Gould pro aounced his final benediction. CLABAUGH, THE JURIST. VOCATIONAL JOURNAL. Much interest is being manifested among students in the public schools and among parents in gen- eral in the school paper just pub- ‘ished by the O Street Vocational School. It is called the O Street Vocational School Bulletin and the first edition contains ten pages. A feature of the paper is the fact that it was printed by the students in the printing department of. the school under W. Calvin Chase, Jr., and is an evidence of the sort of training which the various courses at the institittion gives to its pupils. The subject matter consists of an article by the Principal, an ¢dito- rial, compositions by students from each of the activities of the school and several notes of real news value, On the supplementary page is an appeal to the parents and to jure graduates. . Urincipal J. Moria Saunders, in his item, goes‘on to say: “School systems which have had the inter- ests of all the children keenly at heart and could afford the estab- lishment 9f a course ; systems which have reafized that the schools exist for the pupils, are now convinced that some provision should be madc for the future of the student who is compelled to leave school before he can complete the education which was mapped aut for him, and for the student who at once finds himself admirably adapted tc trade work. “But let it be understood.” fic continues, “that the vocational schools are-not institutions for short-time school career nor dc they accept dullards and the men- tally alefective. These schools ac- cept such students as have the requisite academic equipment and that special fimess for a particular trade which will enable them — to graduate in two years.” 7 The Bulletin is to be published monthly by the school. = THE BAPTIST MINISTERS. _ The tee has never asked for an indorsement by the Baptist Minis- ters Union, When its editor was invited to address the conference, all the editor asked was to adver- tise church notices in colored pa- pers. The Bee doesn't ask an in- dorsement; it has been published for 34 years, and has withstood the criticism of hypocrites and dema- gogues. When one.member of a promi- nent church leaves another under a cloud and the minister whose church he left, says nothing, be- cause he joined another promirent Baptist Church, The Bee has its opinion of such a minister. Strange that this minister did not seek other methods to get a raise in his salary than by asking the editor of The Ree to help him. Some people have conscientious scruples in refusing to indorse intemperance. yet they may be guilty of graver offenses. There are good ministers and bad ministers everywhere, but The Bee has noticed the larger the church the more the preacher should inves- tigate his flock. This is simply a hint and a. re minder. The Bee has been liberally dis: posed towards all denominations and it shall continue to be, regard: less of any support it may not re ceive from shams. BLEASE COMING. Cole Llease, of South Carolina. has informed the country that he is coming to the United States Sen- ate, and’ from the date of his ar- rival until his toes are turned up. he means to present a Jim Crow car bill, segregating Negroes, When Blease. of South Carglina, arrives in this city, he will have his tongue stayed between his teeth as all oth- er disturbers of the peace. Mr Blease will not find the Distr'ct of Columbia like Columbia, South Carolina. The colored People in this country are becomiig mighty tired, and if these attacks upon col- ored Americang are not ceased something will happen one of these days, and in the language of Law- yer John A. Moss, praying will not remove that tree, children, when he was addressing a Sabbath school meeting one Sunday afternoon; “you have got to take an ax and chop it down.” The Bee believes in prayer and some other people believe in something else. COMMISSIONER NEWMAN. _ suppose all appointments of out- siders in the District of Columbia were investigated, how many bona fide residents would you find? If Commissioner Newman was an objectionable Commissioner, such as many of those who have filled the office, The Bee would be glad to see him ousted. But such is not a act. Mr. Newman is one of the best men that has ever been Commissioner. He will hear complaints of the peo- pleand remedy them if possible. It is firmly believed that he will give all classes of citizens 'a square-deal, regardless of color or condition. Commissioner Newman is as much a citizen of the District of Columbia as all others who are from other States and hold office in this city. oe NOT TRUE. = For the benefit of the readersiof The Bee and the public, a Wash- ington correspondent to a New York paper stated that the assist- ant superintendent of schools, Mr. Bruce; was the author of the Sage of the Potomac. The editor of The Bee brands.the accusation as a ma- licious falsehood. In the first place Mr. Bruce has never had any o¢- casion to write a line for this pa- per, and neither has he ever sug- gested a word directly’ or indi- rectly. = THEIR GRATITUDE.” Elsewhere .in The Bee will be read with interest a set of pream- bles and resolutions adopted, at a large public meeting of colored Americans extending their thanks to those Senators who refused to vote with James K. Vardaman, of Mississippi, for the repeal of the 15th amendment. . -\ll honest men are not dead yet. ; THE CHURCHES. Last Sabbath was church day. Evers: church in the city that held services regardless of \ denoinina- tion, was densely crowded. The interest manifested demonstrated the fact what the people cai do regardless of conditions and cir- cumstances. W. Calvin’ Chase, Jr., is to be congratulated, on the make-up and typographical appearance of the O Strect Bulletin. The paper reflects credit on his class of boys in print- ing. Public. Men Ard Things PUBIC. NEN ARG ININGS (By the Sage of the Potomac.) Mebbe your uncle Prof. Weather- less ain't some more mathannatician. When it comes to figures, he can eat up all these compilers of figure hooks, make the Pythagorum Theorm look like fudge, take trigonometry and ease it out on the free list, and just use algebra as a soft cushion to sit on. A bunch of us was goin’ over his report of activities for that-Tom Cal- loway discard which the Masons téok up—the Lincoln Memorial Building project, and we discovered that he had just “sot down, with the ease: of a cotton picker when he's feelin’ well, the number of hours he had put in chasin’ around on a $325 motorcycle on this project, and what it amount- eq to in real currency at ten cents per hour. According to Prof. Weath- erless’ manipulations of figures, and figures don't line only when you make ‘em lie, he done put in last year four thousand hours collecting for outstandip’ stock. Figured at ten cents per hour the Professor figures he’s given the Masons $400 worth of gratis service. One time when I use to be hedged about with mossback professors of the lightning calculator variety, I use to figure some myself. Now I took Prof. Weatherless’ fig- ures, and using twelve as a divisor— cause there's twelve heurs in a day, I find that in one year Prof. Gratui- tous Weatherless devoted 333 and one-third days to workin’ for that Masonic building project. As there ain't but-360 day} in an ordinary year one of them there years we know about around here, I figured he didn’t have but 26 and two-thirds days for anything else. Now, figure as muct as I can, and I ain't so much of a slouch on figures, I can’t figure owt where the Professor got any time tc teach school, cause he’s supposed tc sive qhout cight hours a day te teachin’ the young idea how to shoot You got my notion of the-fine point: of a cantroversy when I tells you that f the Professor had stopped ta figure how little time these four thousand hours spent on a motorcycle collectis. for masonic stock would give him te teach. school, he just naturally wouldn't have given such a startling demonstration of his knowledge o! arithmatism. But your uncle, the Professor sis some more arithmatix< snd mebhe he can figure out how you can take 3331-3 days from 360 days what the calendar and almanac allows Cea Ce eB ee Oe ee low who rides that $325 motorcycle | When I was a junior about cigkt years old they tse to have a way of sayin’, when somebody handed out an incredithble bit of dope—"Oh he That meant there just wasn’t nothin’ to it, If my figurin’ the number of hours in a year is correct then Prof. Weatherless is the guy what put “fig” in figures. Butvhe is an orator of the arora beaurealis kind just the same, and a crackin’ good husltre for him- self, even if he didn't make an in- come tax return. ~ eat I was down to the terminal station a few days ago, and while writin’ for my honeybunch to return on a round trip ticket to Baltimore, I espied a “cullud” gentleman of the yaller-bud complexion variety, talkin’ to a white man. Pretty soon the caller bawled -out the train, and the white gentleman took his leave of the yallerbud, and as he did so this here yallarYud what oc- cupies a high place, just:“retch up,” got a strangle hold on his hat, re- moved it, exposing a beautiful’ ¢x- panse of hairless dome, and just kept a bowin’ and a scrapin’ as far as he could get a line on the retreating form of this here white man. T didn't have no speakin’ acquaintance with him, but I just felt like goin’ up to him, introducin’ myself,. and then _haulin’ off and handin’ him one of Jack John- son's favorites for ‘showin’ all that servility. It sure does give me the Spartan feelin’ when I’see an anthra- cite howin’ and scrapin’ to some white man what just bows and that’s all. I can't see no use for wearjn’ my hat out takin’ it off to some man what keeps his own hat glued down on his, head. But we've got a few of these servile guys left who just get the jumpin’ fever every time a white man hoves in sight, and they just can’t let their hat remain quiet-like on their head one minute if a white man is within four blocks of them. I al- ways raise my hat to a woman, cause that's due her, and I “retch up” and grab her off to a white or black man when I catch him “rechin for his’n,” but you may lay Wilkinson’s record as a tennis player agin Carter's spu- rious record in,the same game, if I’m gin’ to take chances on catchin’ cold in my hairless dome a takin’-off my hat when the other fellow shows no signs of salutin’ with an uncovered head. kat Three or four opaque students of Blackstone were down at Scott's cafaterri the other night economizin’ on a cup of coffee and five cents worth of sphegetti, and discussin’ ev- erything from a ten million a’ year law practice to gossip about females. By and by they got to talkin’ about Judge*Pugh handin’ out a $3 fine to a white man who was caught “disor- derling” with a scal-brown female on the street and handin’ the yoman a $10° fixe. Course they just waded into the judge and handed him a few upper-cuts solar-plexuses and “sich” like. I’ve always felt’ that Judge Pugh had a kinder soft place in his blood pump for we Hamites and when he handed this temperamental lady of color that ten buck fine and pnts gave the white “useless” a fiver T sort of scratched my head and said: “I wonder if Judge Jim’s turned on u3 too?” Course I ain't one of those hasty fellows awful quick on the trigger every time a nat flics into the candle so IT just thought the first time I was down to the police court as a character witness 1 would ask the Judge to tell me the whys and wherefores of that seemingly discrim- inatory fine. Course he soaked that there (voman more than he did the pale face but I can’t help but recallin’ that many a time just out of sympa- thy Jim Pugh has let a many anthra- cite draw a breath of free air when he ought to have been sent up tor ninety-nine years and then some. You know Judge Jim come from away down there in Alabama where Hamites are more numerous than flies are on the molasses wharf in New Orleans and he knows just what we've been’ up against all our lives. My advice to these embryotic lawyers who are squeezing through Howard on a cup of coffce arid a hain sandwich about twice a day, and who think they know moré law than is bouna up in books in the law library, don’t be too hasty handin’ out quick decisions agin Jim Pugh. If he soaks sonve derelict what’s hooked up wit this anthracite race of ours now an} then remember there’ has been lois of timcs when he just turned from the law as she is writ and instead followed the thumping of that blood pump of his and gavé the Hamite so much doubt benefit that he just emerged from the Police Court a free man. [T wouldn't have Jim Pugh’s job for nothin’ in this world. If he gives a coal-hue individual thirty days when one year ought to have been the proper penalty there is a lot of anthracites around here who never wore a pair of pajamas‘what begin talkin’ about “gettin” the worst cause HALLS HILL, VA.

This lot and a small frame dwelling were given by Miss Maria T. Stoddard. In order to have adequate accom- modations for its many demands. the Trustees purchased-the two ad- joining lots, 50 x 150 feet; and two G-room houses at a cost of $2,600.

HAS HAD MANY ACCIDENTS. Undaunted by Breaking Her Leg Five Times and Nose Three Times—Conducts School For Aviators and Superintends Erection of Her Own Machines. Bertin-Melli Beese, Germany's famous woman aviator, announces her intention of trying for the great honor of being the first air pilot to fly across the Atlantic, for which purpose she is constructing her own hydroaeroplane. Mell Beese is widely known not only as a daring filer and as Germany's only woman acroplane pilot, but as the only woman in the world who conducts a flying school, of which she herself is the principal, and who makes a business of designing and manufacturing flying machines. A small, little figure, Frau Beese is a beautiful woman of about thirty. She won a pilot's license more than four years ago, the first to be granted to a woman in Germany. She is not discouraged by the fact that she has broken her legs, in five places, sustained fractures of several ribs and has broken her nose three times in tumbles out of the air. These accidents, she declares, were the fault of her teachers and did not happen when she herself was at the wheel. When seen at the Johannisthal flying field, where more than 300 machines are stationed, Frau Beese said: "Yes, I am going to be among those who will be the first to try to fly across the Atlantic. If I cannot be the first to pilot a flying machine to America at least I want to be the first woman to achieve that honor. I am constructing a new type of hydrocarplane, which will be A Photo by American Press Association. MELLI BEESE. completed in a few weeks. I will test it thoroughly on the North sea, and if it proves satisfactory it will serve as a model for a larger craft to be used in a transatlantic attempt next spring. I will begin work on the big machine this summer. I will personally pilot my machine, assisted by my husband and two mechanics. My designs are for a craft that will be able to cross the ocean in thirty-five hours." Frau Beese some time ago married one of her pupils. She has turned out about forty pilots from her school. She now owns six aeroplanes. Speaking of the development of aviation, she said: "The future development of aviation so far as the sport is concerned, especially for women, lies upon the water where it is easy to fly and there is little danger. It is only when the manfacturers recognize this that flying will attain the popularity it deserves." Frau Beese said that German boys who formerly ran off to sea to become sailors are now brought by their parents to the flying school to be turned into pilots, although they are not always promising material. She said that women learn the art much easier than men, except the mechanical knowledge. They have more presence of mind than the men and act quickly in an emergency. Unfortunately all her women pupils take out marriage licenses, before the end of the course and marry pilots instead of taking out pilots' licenses. WHEN DYING GETS SIGHT. For an Hour Preceding Death Could See His Relatives. Willows, Cal.—Before death took him from his family W. D. Martin, eighty-six years of age, after years of blindness, had the satisfaction of seeing for an hour the faces of his loved ones and of taking a farewell look at earth. The aged man had been blind and helpless for years and for a few weeks prayed earnestly that sight should be restored to him for once before he died. His prayer was answered, as for an hour he could see and recognize those around his bed. Then he became blind again. He had no disease, but he simply worn out with the advanced year. STARVING, HE HAD $10,050. Aged Man Accepts Charity and Loses His Wallet. New York.—James A. Farvin, assistant station master at the Pennsylvania station, has lost his faith in human nature. He helped a supposedly starving man and then found him possessed of thousands of dollars. The man was evidently exhausted and about to collapse. "I've not had a bite to eat in two days," he murmured. Having helped the old man to a seat, Mr. Farvin rushed a porter away for hot coffee and sandwiches. The old man ate ravenously and wept as he told his story. The old man said his name was Uriah Lane and on foot he had dragged himself all the way from up state in an effort to reach his son, whom he had not seen since they parted at Sag Harbor after a quarrel twenty years ago. The 4:15 train for Sag Harbor was nearly due. Deeply affected, Mr. Farrin tried to cheer the old man up, paid his fare, $3.04, to Sag Harbor and gave him the change from a five dollar bill. Just afterward Mr. Farrin caught sight of a wallet lying under the chair on which the aged man had sat. Opening it, he found the name Uriah Lane on the flap. Inside were eight $1,000 bills, crisp and clean; twenty $100 and ten $5 bills—$10,050 in all. When Mr. Farrin overtook the old man he demanded to be repaid for the sum already advanced. After much argument the old man did so. WOULD MAKE SOLDIERS WORK Congressman Would Also Put Sailors at Manual Labor. Washington—Warren W. Bailey of Pennsylvania introduced in the house a bill directing the president to "put the officers and enlisted men of the army and navy to work." The president is directed to employ the officers and men in the construction of the Alaska railway, the reclamation of swamp lands, construction of Missisippi river levees, river and harbor improvements, and is forbidden to hire manual labor outside of the services until the supply from within them is exhausted. Mr. Bailey issued a statement in which he said: "If we must have a huge standing army and a big navy—and all the jingoes agree that we must in the interests of the world's peace—then let's put them to work." Daniels' Suggestion to Be Carried Out by Captain Fullam. Annapolis, Md.—Captain William F. Fullam, superintendent of the Naval academy, has taken up the suggestion of the secretary of the navy that the midshipmen of the first class engage in debates on current subjects to improve their acquaintance with the news of the day and to increase their ability to think and talk on their feet. He has had several consultations with members of the department of English and other instructors and officers and will endeavor to fit something along this line into the already rather crowded curriculum of the first class. The need for special training of the midshipmen along the lines of writing and speaking on the topics of the day has been recognized, and much has been done to further it. The practice of having the first class men respond to toasts was started more than a year ago by Captain Gibbons, then superintendent, and is carried on with much success. A period of an hour and a half or two hours is devoted to this every week, one midshipman acting as toastmaster, others responding to set toasts or making extemporaneous remarks on each occasion. In this way each member of the graduating class has the opportunity of speaking several times during the year. Members of the English department are always present as critters. WHISTLE HYMNS IN CHURCH. Boy Chorus of Fifty Helps to "Humanize" Service. Philadelphia.—A chorus of fifty boys, after considerable training with no small amount of patience, whistled the hymn tunes in the services of the Calvary Reformed church here. The girls carried the hymn with their soprano voices, and the effect is said to have been rather startling. Another innovation in the movement for "humanizing" such services was the "all girl" service in the same church preceding the whistling. Unjoints Shoulder Twelve Times. Philadelphia.—For the twelfth time within a year William Symonds, thirty years old, a driver, applied for treatment at a hospital suffering from a dislocated shoulder blade. Since the first injury the bone has dropped from its socket every time the victim gives his arm a slight wrench. Memphis, Tenn.-J. G. Tarver, twoty-eight years old, who is seven four four inches tall and weighs 307 pound-claims he is the tallest man in the United States. He was born in Dallas Tex.

Chicago. - Marriage ceremonies for which no fee will be accepted is one of the innovations which will be inaugurated at Trinity Episcopal church in case a fund of $10,000 a year can be raised to make possible the extension of the church's activities. "We wish to make historic Trinity something like the Little Church around the Corner in New York," declared Andrew R. Sheriff, chairman of the campaign committee. "It is proposed to have a clergyman in attendance at all hours of the day and night to offer spiritual consolation, perform baptisms and marriage ceremonies and attend to the physical needs of the poor. An after midnight service on Sunday mornings for actors, newspaper people and those detained downtown late is also probable, while the social center work of the church will be greatly extended." At one time Trinity church had eighteen multimillionaires as members of its congregation. Many of the wealthy members have moved away, making the task of maintaining the church a perilous problem. "SABLES" OF RABBIT SKINS. America Sends Many Pelts to Paris Every Year. Spokane, Wash.—Local postoffice employees who loaded and unloaded four wagon loads, of rabbit pelts consigned to Paris believe they have discovered the source of some of the "sable" furs of the wolf's fashion center.

STRAIGHTEN YOUR OWN HAIR Most women realize that beauty is largely a matter of beautiful hair and now that science has placed within the reach of all, an instrument that is a deadly weapon to all scalp diseases, any woman may easily and quickly gain a head of beautiful hair by using this wonderful hair dryer and cultivator comb. This great invention is scientifically manufactured of highly magnetized steel, and never fail to cleanse the scalp of all unnatural matter and impurities. The use of the comb, besides ridding the scalp of dandruff and dirt, destroys the germs that cause all the trouble. It promotes the circulation of blood on the scalp. It cultivates the roots and produces a new growth of long, luxurious, soft and glossy hair. KORE.—Madam G. A. Coruti, the world's renowned Hair Culturist, Demonstrator and Authority on Human Hair, was awarded the Bronze Medal at the Jamestown Exposition, 1907, for skill in hair work. Madame G. A.

While Mr. Elwell considered the request a joke, he finally sent the pouches. Railway mall clerks declared that they had been receiving small shipments of the pelts for several weeks. The latest shipment is said to have been made by a Mr. Oppenheimer, a buyer. The parcel post rules provide dried pelts may be sent through the mails. BE A SPINSTER AND LIVE LONG, HE SAYS Life Insurance Man Gives Statistics on Death Rate. New York—The spinster lives longer than the married woman. The business woman lives longer than the business man. The woman who takes out an endowment insurance policy lives longer than the woman who takes out a straight life policy. These facts—and Arthur Hunter, actuary of a leading company, said they were facts—were gathered last year by experts in the employ of the forty-three leading companies in this country. Mr. Hunter didn't explain why the unmarried woman survives the matron nor why the business woman outlives the business man, but he revealed why the woman who takes unto herself an endowment policy lasts longer than the woman who has to die to win. "The endowment woman just gets up her spirit and determines to live until the policy matures," he said. "The other woman sighs, 'Oh, what's the man and wills off.'"

Mr. Hunter said there were more fatal accidents in this country than elsewhere because of the American "I'll take a chance" spirit. The Amer- ican, he said, takes all sorts of risks to save time and inconvenience. The for- eigner doesn't do that at home, but when he comes here he becomes in- fected. "The mortality rate among engineers and firemen is eight times that of men in other callings," he said, "and among policemen about 40 per cent higher. With policemen it is on the increase." Mr. Hunter said that the business woman kept herself going by a determination to fight it out. She had something tangible, something to live for, whereas the business man takes his work as a matter of course and is apathetic. "JAG" CURE COSTS $10,000.

ODAY we study one of Jesus' most striking manifestations to His disciples after His resurrection. Early that morning He had appeared to the women who came to embalm His body. They had communicated the news to St. Peter and St. John, who hastened to the sepulcher, but found it empty. The disciples were perplexed. Although Jesus had told them that He would be crucified and would rise from the dead on the third day, they had not comprehended the teaching. That afternoon, as two of the company were walking home, discussing A ment, Jesus overtook them. They knew Him not, because of His resurrection change. St. Peter tells us that He was "put to death in flesh, but quickened in spirit." This we understand in the light of St. Paul's explanation of the Church's resurrection: "Sown in weakness, raised in power; sown in dishonor, raised in glory; sown an animal body, raised a spirit body."—1 Corinthians 15:12-34. The same thought is impressed again by the Apostle's statement: "We shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye"; for "flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God." The change which the Church is to experience is the same which Jesus experienced when He was raised from the dead, a life-giving Spirit—no longer a Man. Our Lord's title, "Son of Man," still belongs to Him, as does the title, "the Logos." When the Logos was made flesh, the identity was preserved; and likewise when Jesus became a spirit being again. Respecting our Lord's human experiences we read: "A body hast Thou prepared Me"—for the suffering, of death. (Hebrews 10:3-10). When He had accomplished that purpose, He no longer had need of human nature; but, as He had foretold, He ascended to where He was before—to the spirit nature and, later on, to Heaven itself. To assume that Jesus is a fleshly being in Heaven, bearing wounds and scars to all eternity, is to imply that the Father never really exalted Him to the glory which He had before the world was (John 17:5), and is unsupposeable. The Scriptures plainly show that the Father highly exalted our Redeemer "far above angels, principalities and powers." "Jesus Showed Himself." St. Luke declares that Jesus showed Himself alive after His resurrection (Acts 1.3). In every way He manifested the fact that a great change had taken place with Him. He appeared and showed Himself not only in different bodies, unlike each other, but also different clothing. When He suddenly disappeared, the clothing disappeared also. The stranger who overtook the two scipies en route to Emmaus inquired, by so sad? Astonished that He did it know, they explained that the chief tests and rulers had delivered up d crucified Jesus, a prophet mighty fore God and the people. Their hope at He was Messiah had been crush- . Then they told the events of that morning—that some. women of eir company had found His tomb upity and had seen angels, who said at He was alive. . This gave Jesus opportunity to exa ain quietly that their experiences are part of the Divine Plan; that it was necessary that Messiah should thus suffer, in order to become King of Glory and bless mankind. He point- ed out from Scripture what God had foretold respecting Messiah's experiences. He probably showed that when Isaac was offered up by Abraham, he foreshadowed Jesus' death and resurrection; that the smitten rock represented Messiah, who must be smit- ed out from Scripture what God had foretold respecting Messiah's experiences. He probably showed that when Isaac was offered up by Abraham, he foreshadowed Jesus' death and resurrection; that the smitten rock represented Messiah, who must be smitten in order to give the Water of Life to humanity; that the serpent lifted up in the wilderness typified Messiah's crucifixion; and that the passover lamb typified Jesus, "the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world." No wonder their hearts burned within them! "They Knew Him—He Vanished." When the travelers arrived in Emmaus, something in their guest's manner of asking the blessing at supper reminded them of Jesus. Their eyes of understanding began to open. Then, having fulfilled the purpose of His materialization, Jesus vanished—clothes and all. Unable to sleep, the disciples returned to Jerusalem, and there learned that Jesus had manifested Himself to Peter. Then they told their experiences; and faith, hope and joy began to grow in all their hearts. During the forty days following our Lord's resurrection, He only twice appeared in a form similar to that which they had seen, bearing the marks of crucifixion. On both occasions He appeared and vanished while the doors PRAISE FOR FLEET'S WORK Landing Operations at Culebra Promounced Astonishing. Washington.-The officers and men who participated in the Atlantic fleet's recent landing operations against the advanced base forces at Culebra, near Porto Rico, are highly praised in a report by Captain W. S. Sims, who was detailed as fleet observer. Captain Sims says: "An examination of the installations made on shore and of the astonishing amount of work required to create the defences in the rocky soil (with, incidentally, inefficient tools for such work), makes it apparent that such results could have been accomplished only by a harmonious combination of thorough planning and admirable administration, actuated by the driving force of an enthusiastic devotion to duty extending throughout the entire command. "It is a most gratifying example of the great military value of a high degree of esprit de corps and cheerful devotion to duty in overcoming discouraging obstacles and difficulties." SPLASHES WATCH IN TUMMY. Quickly Downs Twelve Beers; Then Swallows Timepiece. Beaver Falls, Pa.—On a wager of $10 George Konterline performed a brand new beer feat. Just as the hour of 12 began to strike from a big clock in the tower of a bank building near Konterline downed a glass of beer in a couple of gulps. He followed this with another glass at each stroke of the clock until he had emptied twelve glasses. Then he swallowed his watch, holding the chain in his teeth. The amazed spectators were invited to place ears against Konterline's breast and hear the watch tick. When Konterline held the end of the chain between his fingers and jiggled it the submerged timepiece could be heard splashing in the beer. MAWSON WEDS GIRL WOOED BY WIRELESS Melbourne.—Dr. Douglas Mawson, the antarctic explorer, who has just returned from a trip during which his two companions lost their lives and made his way back to the base after thirty days of suffering in blizzards, was married to Miss Delprat, daughter of a mine owner. The couple became engaged in 1911, when Miss Delprat was nineteen years of age and before Dr. Mawson started ```markdown ``` DR. DOUGLAS MAWSON. on the last expedition. They exchanged love messages by wireless while the doctor was in the antarctic. The south pole was not Dr. Mawson's goal. He aimed at the exploration of the vast coast line of the antarctic which was discovered by the American, Captain Wilkes, seventy years ago and named after him. The party returned to Adelaide, Australia, on Feb. 27 of this year. The scientific results of the expedition are said to be very valuable. Besides the mapping out of newly discovered lands, extraordinary marine fauna were discovered at a depth of two miles and copper deposits and a vast coal bed were also found. Dr. Mawson was born at Bradford, England, in 1882. He holds the position of lecturer in geology in the University of Adelaide. PREACHES FOR HER HUSBAND Pastor's Wife Takes His Place In Cleveland Pulpit. Cleveland, O.-Three times in her life Mrs. L. C. Hallock, wife of the pastor of the Asbury Methodist Eudiscal church, has been called upon to perform the duties of a clergyman. Twice in her husband's absence and once in the absence of her son, Rev. Rolin Hallock of Science Hill, O., has she been equal to the emergency and taken their places in the pulpit. When Mrs. Hallock's husband was called to Youngstown, she agreed to preach his Sunday sermon at Asbury church. She went into the pulpit and preached what members of the congregation said was one of the most interesting sermons they had heard in a long time. SPEAKING ABOUT HOGS. Ohio Editor Gröws Earnest In His War on Cholera. Washington.—Representative White of Ohio is showing his friends in the house just how the hog cholera lobby is working here. Mr. White has a constituent in Ohio, an editor, who stands close to him in many ways. To this editor came A. P. Sandles, most ardent exponent of the projected law, with the plea that he "get George busy for the hog cholera bill." Here is a part of the letter which the congressman received from the editor: I had a sort of idea that the white plague was about the worst thing we had to contend with in this country, but no, a thousand times no! For frightful destruction and stupendous havoc and gigantic loss of money—the hog cholera has the white plague backed up in the corner yelling for ice water. I firmly believe this because "Put" says so. So I wish to add my urgent insist that you fly to the protection of the innocent hog instanter. If a few odd thousand children should die during your errand of mercy to the hog that is one of the exigencies that cannot well be avoided, because there are plenty more where they came from. Not so with the hogs. They are bringing from 9½ to 10% cents in Pittsburgh today, and the viable supply is limited. THESE CHICKENS ARE VAMPS. Survived a Fire and Wouldn't Leave Shells Till Bell Rang. Tarrytown, N. Y.—Fire destroyed the North Tarrytown fire house. Water played on the blaze flooded the house of Charles Minnerly next door, and a box with a sitting hen and fifteen eggs floated around the cellar. The hen, however, stuck to the post while the flames crackled around her. When the eggs were due to hatch no chicks appeared. Minnerly spoke to some of his friends, and they told him they were fire chickens and if he wanted to hatch them he would have to sound an alarm of the bell. Then Minnerly went to the coop and rang an old dinner bell for fifteen minutes. To his surprise the eggs began to open, and in less than an hour every one of them hatched. The chicks would not stay with the mother as long as Minnerly rang the bell. He solved the problem by tying a small bell around the mother's neck. HEAVY SNOWS TO BRING BIG CROPS Soil In Fine Shape as Result of White Blankets. Washington.—For a number of years the country at large has not enjoyed such general snows as whitened the countryside during February and March of the present year. Also it has been the occasional catastrophe that one great heavy snow has fallen late in the season to be followed by a quick thaw and consequent floods. Now the soil sharps, seeing that conditions are more nearly ideal this season than for a number of springs, are encouraged to believe that 1014 is destined to be a year of bumper crops. Dr. J. A. Bonesteel of the bureau of solis is quoted: "Since the snow blanket took its time in departing we will have a better crop start this year than for several years. To date conditions could be hardly more ideal. We had snow after snow-not too heavy, but persistent enough to keep the ground covered well and the tender shoots of the wheat in perfect condition. "This is particularly true of the eastern states generally, but at the same time conditions are far better in the middle west than is the general average. "In the corn belt, where there was considerable depletion of the crop through too persistent drought last season, the snow will prove of incalculable benefit. The corn belt ought to have a splendid start. "Where snow remained a long time and there has been extensive opportunity for it to seep down into the earth, carrying its moisture from one to two feet, the soil is prepared to develop sturdy roots for the cereal crops. The plants therefore stand a better chance against possible deficiencies in the matter of rainfall during the period of their growth." WOMEN IN BUSINESS. Statistics Show That Many Females Are In Various Professions. Washington.-The extent to which women are leaving the home to enter the business world is shown by the following diaries for the United States. There are: 239.077 stenographers. 770,051 engaged in agricultural purity 1.037 architects, designers and draftsmen. Man's Mind Ten Years Old. St. Paul. Minu. According to allenists who examined George Preston, twenty-four years old, charged with robbery, his mental age is from eight to ten years. He has the knowledge of a child of that age. UNCLE SAM'S MEN EASY FOR SHARKS Aggregate Loans Estimated at $500,000, and the Average Interest 150 Per Cent, or $750,000—Law of Congress Evaded by Money Lenders Moving Across Potomac to Virginia. Washington.Of all the shady interests which are carried on by government employees in every department the "loan shark" evil is said to be the worst. For years department heads and bureau chiefs have failed to stamp out the class of men who carry on the business among their associates of lending small sums at excessively large rates of interest. In the office of the United States attorney for the District of Columbia are filed at the present time no less than fifty distinct charges of "loan sharking," the offenders including professional money lenders. In a preliminary statement recently given out Assistant District Attorney Given said that no less than 1,000 complaints of violation of the loan shark law have been received from persons who requested that their names be not made public. A little over a year ago congress enacted a drastic law against "loan sharking." The interest rates which had formerly ranged from 50 per cent to 300 per cent a year, were cut to 1 per cent a month. For a time it was believed that the business in Washington was dead. Then the money lenders put their heads together and several of the professionals who maintained offices in the downtown section of the city tried the first evasion of the law. It is about twelve city blocks from the western edge of the downtown district to the Virginia side of the Potomac river. Within fifteen feet of the high water mark on the Virginia side of the river two or three of the lenders built offices and hung out three balls. An interurban electric line gave easy access to and from the city, Signs giving notice of the change of location were displayed before their downtown Washington offices and several other shops bore signs of a change of residence to Alexandria, Va., five miles down the Potomac. Thus by co-operation among the money lenders the entire professional "loan shark" business of Washington was moved to Virginia, with the exception of the "amateur" money lenders in the government departments. This, the police found, is the thing that the district attorney's office is determined to stamp out. It is said that a negro messenger in the treasury department accumulated over $50,000 during his thirty-five years of service through loaning small sums at excessive rates of interest. One of the money lenders established between his Washington office and his office on the Virginia shore a half hour automobile livery service for clients in downtown Washington, across Potomac park and the Highway bridge into Virginia. It proved too expensive, however. Washington, filled with residents whose homes are elsewhere, has probably the most apathetic civic conscience in the world. Its population is nearly as cosmopolitan as that of Atlantic City, and there is a spirit of rivalry as to dress and "front" in the very municipal atmosphere. A man with a government position has a prestige in his home community that few other positions of employment confer. The incumbent thinks he must live up to it by aping the dress and manners of the idle rich. The messenger with a salary of $600 or $700 a year aims to dress like his superior, the clerk. He does not want the public to think he is a mere messenger. The clerk would be a division chief, and he aspires to dress the part. He goes the messenger one better by allowing himself to be drawn into the ultra atmosphere of petty social affairs in Washington, which rarely get him anywhere. The division chief likes to be mistaken for an assistant secretary. And thus the merry game goes on. HEARS LAST RITES BY PHONE. Telephone Enables Dying Man to Attend Wife's Funeral. Paterson, N. J. — Ex-Judge James Inglis, confined to his bed by pneumonia, heard by telephone the funeral services conducted over the body of his wife in the parlor below. A bell-like transmitter was installed in the parlor, and wires led upstairs to the room where Judge Inglis lay. When the itv. Davis Stewart Hamilton, rector of St. Paul's Episcopal church, began the service a receiver was lifted to Judge Inglis' ear and was kept there until the last word was spoken. New York.—Physicians have found it necessary to operate on Miss. Ella F. Hobby for an infection of the left leg caused by a dog bite fourteen years ago. She has undergone twelve operations. It is believed the last will cure her, as two inches of the diseased bone were removed. PROPOSE CHANGES IN CONSTITUTION SUFFRAGE IS IN THE LEAD. Liquor, Judiciary, Monopoly and Elections Affected by the Bills—Doolittle Has Plan For Recall of Judicial Decisions by Legislatures—Theorists Ride Hobbies. Washington.—The agitation in congress for the passage of a resolution submitting to the states an equal suffrage amendment to the federal constitution has directed attention to the many attempts that are being made to change or supplement the fundamental law of the land. Every now and then a resolution of this character is dropped into the hopper in congress, but it is not until the entire batch is collected and laid out in review that one is impressed with their real significance. There have been periods of unrest and agitation before, but never has such a variety of changes been proposed to congress as now. Many officials In Washington even would be surprised to learn that there are forty resolutions pending before congress providing for changes in the federal constitution. The amenders want to change almost everything—the executive, legislative and judicial departments of the government—and they want to write into the fundamental law also a good many things that cannot be interfered with by any part of the government. They want to settle things for all time, and the strange feature is that many of the proposed changes were considered by the fathers and rejected as out of harmony with the scheme of government which they were seeking to establish. Of all the propositions of this character now before congress that of Representative Doolittle of Kansas is probably the most unique. He proposes to amend article 5 of the federal constitution. He has a method for the recall of judicial decisions by referendum to the state legislatures and not to the people. Mr. Doolittle is a Democrat and a direct descendant of the first colonial governor of Virginia. Representative Lafferty, Democrat, from Oregon, suggests an amendment by which proposed amendments to the constitution may be submitted to the states by a majority vote of the two houses of congress and be ratified by two-thirds of the states. * Representative Hardwick of Georgia proposes the repeal of the fifteenth amendment and all after the first sentence in the fourteenth amendment, so that all he would have remain of those two celebrated amendments would be the declaration that "all persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the United States and the state wherein they reside." Another group of proposed constitutional amendments is directed at the courts. Representative Cullop, Democrat, from Indiana, proposes that all judges of the supreme court of the United States shall be elected at a presidential election, four of whom shall serve for four years and five for eight years. After that first election the term of the judges shall be eight years. The court shall elect a chief justice, clerk and marshal, and their terms shall be four years. Representative Hull of Tennessee proposes to amend the constitution and give congress power to abolish any inferior court of the United States and to remove any judges of such courts by two-thirds vote of both houses. Representative Raker of California. Democrat, proposes an amendment that the judicial power of the United States shall not be construed to extend to any suit in law or equity commenced or prosecuted against any state by citizens of another state or by citizens or subjects of a foreign state or by reason of the citizenship of any corporation. Mr. Raker wants to keep the Japanese question out of the United States courts and leave that whole question to California. Representative Nelson of Wisconsin. Republican, wants an amendment giving congress the power to define, prevent and suppress monopolies, combinations and agreements in restraint of trade. Representative Edmonds, a Republican from Philadelphia, suggests that Congress be empowered to establish uniform laws of marriage and divorce and provide penalties for violation of the same. Representative Peters, a Democrat of Massachusetts, proposes to give congress the power to regulate the business or commerce of insurance throughout the United States and its territories and possessions. Representative Henry, a Democrat from Texas, proposes an amendment to change the date of inauguration of the president to the last Thursday in April and the date for the assembling of congress to the second Tuesday in January. Prohibition is the subject of an other group of amendments. Senator Works of California proposes to prohibit in the United States the sale manufacture and importation of distilled liquors containing alcohol except for mechanical, scientific and medicinal purposes. MENTAL TAINT BAR TO ALIENS Immigration Bill Contains Drastic Regulations. Two Physicians Will Examine Each Person Coming In at All United States Ports—Humanitarian Provision Prescribes Treatment For Foreigners Who Are Ill. Washington.—The immigration bill as it emerged from the senate committee on immigration contains many new restrictive regulations in addition to the literacy test. The changes include restrictions against the admission of allens suffering from every form of mental, allment and from mental deficiency in any and every degree. In the bill as it passed the house under section 3 there appeared the following language: "That the following classes of aliens shall be excluded from the United States: All idiots, imbeciles, feeble minded persons, epileptics, insane persons, persons who have had one or more attacks of insanity at any time previously." To this the senate added: "Persons of constitutional psychopathic inferiority, persons with chronic alcoholism." The Burnett bill as it came from the committee excludes all who are certified by the examining surgeons as "being mentally or physically defective, such mental or physical defect being of a nature which may affect the ability of such alien to earn a living." This the senate committee changed by striking out the adjective "mental." [Image of a man in a suit with a tie]. Photo by American Press Association. REPRESENTATIVE BURNETT. Capacity to earn a living is thus removed as a possible excuse for the admission of a mentally undesirable. A decided amplification of the scope and exhaustiveness of the psychiatric and psychopathic examination of incoming aliens is provided in section 16 of the bill. After setting forth the character of the training which the examining medical officers shall possess with a view to insuring thoroughness in the examination, as in the Burnett bill, the senate committee has inserted this provision: "All aliens arriving at ports of the United States shall be examined by two such medical officers," which increases the insurance of thoroughness. Under the Burnett bill this medical examination was provided for all "large ports of entry." The senate committee has stricken out the qualifying "large." The examination must be made wherever allens may enter. The senate committee while endeavoring to make the law more certain in its provision for exclusion of the undesirable has shown a humanitarian disposition along some other lines. It is provided that immigrants found to be suffering from tuberculosis in any form or any other loathsome or dangerous contagious disease other than that of a quarantinable nature must be at once deported, but the following leeway is given to the secretary of labor: "Unless the secretary of labor is satisfied that the existence of the disease could not have been detected by competent medical examination at the time of foreign debarkation and that to refuse treatment would be inhuman or cause unusual hardship." This proviso admits the alien to hospital treatment. ADVERTISMENTS IN 1773. George Washington Advertised 20,000 Acres of Land For Lease. Johnetta, Pa.—L. E. Allen has a copy of the first edition of the Maryland Journal and Baltimore Advertiser, dated Aug. 26, 1773. The paper contains an advertisement inserted by George Washington. According to the advertisement George Washington land obtained patents to 20,000 acres of land along the Ohio and Kanawha rivers and offered to lease the land at "reasonable rates."

Now that the chain of evidence presented by Mr. Webb seems so complete, it is strange that none of the delvers in the Biblical records have advanced the proposition before. Not only was Christ a Negro, but it seems that Solomon, who has been held up through all the ages as the personification of wisdom, had Ethiopian blood in his veins also. A new book entitled "The Black Man Was the Father of Civilization." This book defends its title exclusively by the Bible and therefore has nothing to fear. This book is illustrated with many pictures. Price, $1.00 by mail. The following comment is from the Seattle Daily Post Intelligencer: Elder J. M. Webb, evangelist of the Church of God, in his book describes the black man as the father of all civilization. He takes the Bible to show that the fathers of the church and all the great leaders, even the Greatest One, was black. Mr. Webb's work is able and thoughtful. Whether the Anglo-Saxon believes him or not, Mr. Webb writes what he believes to be true about his race and their place in Biblical history. Combination of both books and pictures for $2.00 postage prepaid. Send money order, express order or registered letter to Elder J. M. Webb, 3519 State Street, Chicago, Ill.
