Washington Bee

IF IT'S NEWS, IT'S IN THE BEE, FOR THE BEE IS A NEWSPAPER. THE BEE WASHINGTON Washington's Best and Leading Negro Newspaper That's THE BEE VOL. XXXIV, NO. 52 WASHINGTON, D.C., SATURDAY, JUNE 6, 1914 JUDGE ROBERT H. TERRELL HONORED On Friday evening, May 29, social Washington tendered to Judge Robert H. Terrell a reception in his honor. The event took place at Odd Fellows' Hall, which was brilliantly decorated with flags, bunting and palms. Two hundred and fifty of the leading men and women of the community were present—the ladies elegantly gowned, the gentlemen in evening dress. The affair was brilliant because it was carried forward by the efficient hands of a managing committee which overlooked no detail which could contribute to the joy and comfort of all present. It was an event long to be remembered, and the wonderful music of "Wooding's Smart Set Band" was one of the dominant features of a highly enjoyable evening. From 8:30 to 9:30 o'clock congratulations were extended to Judge and Mrs. Terrell. From 9:30 to 10:45 addresses were delivered by selected speakers, and from 10:45 to the 'we sma' hours" a remarkably fine dance program was played from the first to the last number. No more brilliant gathering of the leading folks of the community has ever taken place in this city and one marked feature of the event was the manifest good feeling present in which all shared. The confirmation of Judge Terrell by the United States Senate has been fittingly honored by the people whom he represents on the bench, and the social season has been closed with a brilliant climax. That part of the program which consisted of speech making was admirably conducted. Prof. Roscoe Conkling Bruce spoke on "The Local Aspects of Judge Terrell's Appointment." The Hon. John C. Dancy addressed himself to "The National Significance of Judge Terrell's Appointment." Then followed the "Response by Judge Terrell. Bieutenant Thomas H. R. Clarke was the master of ceremonies. The speeches were eloquent and reflected the sentiment of all present. Mr. M. Grant Lucas presented Judge Terrell with a gavel made of Cedar from "Cedar Hill," the home of the illustrious Frederick Douglas. Mr. Jesse Powell, the florist, presented Judge Terrell with a bunch of American Beauty roses, one of the largest and finest floral pieces of this nature ever given an individual in this city.

Ladies and Gentlemen: It would take more than the mere conventionalities of speech to express my gratitude to you for the honor that you have done me tonight. For there is an indefinable something in the sentiment that prompts this occasion that cannot find its full measure of praise in words, however eloquently they may be spoken. I thank you, gentlemen of the Committee especially, for all that you have done to bring this event to a completion altogether so admirable in itself, so fully complimentary to me, and more than all that, so worthy of the great and, I hope, substantial victory which our race has just won over the forces of oppression and repression—forces that would block our way to the goal sought by all men in our republic—the attainment and retention of all of those rights that are enjoyed and freely exercised by every other element in our cosmopolitan citizenship. A few years ago we celebrated in this country the 300th anniversary of the first settlement of white men in America. A few years hence will bring us upon another ter-centennial—the 300th anniversary of the introduction of slavery into the American colonies. And singularly enough, Jamestown, in Virginia, was the scene of both of these historic events. The Negro has advanced an immeasurable distance since his ancestors first set foot on American soil. From 1619 to 1862 he yielded his liberty and gave his toil unrequited to a master; his body and his intellect he gave over to an institution that would have ground to powder a less sturdy people. He has done more than simply survive these hard and exacting demands of American civilization in all of its better forms. His speech is the same as that of the white American, his is the same religious faith that it must follow that his aspirations and ideals are similar to those of his white brother; and he will not be denied the fulfillment and satisfaction of his yearnings and ambitions without that protest that is in keeping with the dignity and courage of a freeman and a full fledged citizen. Back in the days of reconstruction, which even some thoughtless men of our own race now affect to despise and to declare were harmful to us, the great statesmen of the country said that freedom for the Negro without the ballot would be the merest mockery. And when Negro suffrage was opposed on the floor of the Senate, Benjamin Wade, of Ohio, in one of his hold and stirring speeches said, "I have a contempt, I cannot name, for the man who will contend for rights for himself that he will not award to every body else." Shall we then demand less for ourselves than our friends have demanded and are today demanding for us? It is true that the black man's career on this continent has been marvelous in many particulars—marvelous in its dissimilarity to that of all other races and marvelous in its striking contrasts. To have been transformed from a slave to a freeman almost in a day was a wonderful metamorphis! The tremendous influences of more than two centuries of bondage and oppression was bound to leave some unfavorable impression on the character of its victims. Therefore when we study our problems we must be frank with ourselves, otherwise we shall not be able to find for it that solution so devoutly to be wished. Our weaknesses grow out of conditions that are not the creations of a night, nor can they be swept away by the efforts of day. When we consider this it seems to me that J. H. H. EX-PRESIDENT WM. H. TAFT Who is willing to join forces with the Progressives to elect a Republican President. See editorial. it would be a part of wisdom for us to be patient with ourselves and view our faults with a reasonable charity. For which one of you, who in 1865 stood upon the ruins of the late slave States and beheld the prostrate form of the quondam master, if asked, "What of the future?" would have said that within a dozen years from that time the ex-slave would be a United States Senator, a member of the National House of Representatives, a governor of a State and a foreign minister? And whose prophetic soul could have peered into the future still further and foretold that in a short period of time this same ex-slave would be cast down from his lofty place in the State, stripped of his newly acquired dignities and honors, oppressed, hated, persecuted and even denied the protection of the laws of his country? Yet this was the fact. Such a career of contrast for a people has no parallel in history. Yet I believe that in no far distant day the Negro will come to the front along lines of a natural development, a better and stronger man. For the laws which determine the destinies of individuals, races, and nations are impartial and eternal. The black man has done well under the old leadership, which was intense in purpose and strong in action, but for obvious reasons could not get a substantial footing in our great scheme of government. But a new leadership is now asserting itself—a leadership composed of men trained in the best schools of the world, able to study and dissect abstruse as well as practical governmental problems. This leadership is not only demanding for the people untrammeled rights at the ballot box, but it is also laying stress on the necessity of becoming a part of the great industrial development in this mighty, active and sleepless civilization that makes our country a powerful and dominating influence in markets of the world. It is true that there are at present conditions in this country growing out of discontinuations on account of race which are not favorable to us as a people, yet I believe that our day has dawned and our sun has arisen; and there is nothing more certain that when the sun has once come above the horizon it will keep its course on the fullness of noonday. Our illustrious kinsman, Frederick Douglass once said, "Take courage from the example of all religious denominations that have sprung up since Martin Luther. Each in its turn has been oppressed and persecuted. Yet all in turn have conquered the prejudice and hate of their surroundings. Greatness does not come to any people on flowery beds of ease. We must fight to win the prize. No people to whom liberty is given can hold it so firmly or wear it so grandly as those who wrench their liberty from the iron hand of the tyrant. The hardships and dangers involved in the struggle give strength and toughness to the character, and enable it to stand firm in storms as well as in sunshine." In conclusion let me say again that I thank you for this evidence of your friendship. I appreciate deeply the words of approval that have fallen from the the lips of those who have spoken. And if I have reflected any credit upon the colored people of the country by my work as a magistrate in the years that have passed, I am particularly proud of the fact that you here at my home should regard that work as worthy of your consideration and a justification of this splendid (Continued to page 5.) THE MEMORIAL MEETING AT HOWARD THEATER Last Sunday afternoon, at Howard Theater several hundred people attended a memorial service to the soldier dead of our nation. Two orchestras furnished music. Secretary Lewis E. Johnson conducted a short but impressive devotional service. Rev. Dr. N. C. Garner presided. Representatives of many fraternal societies were present and the Frederick Douglass Post, No. 21, G. A. R., and the Sons of Veterans turned out as honor guests. The speeches of the afternoon were made by Hon. W. E. Andrews, Auditor for the Treasury Department, and Prof. N. E. Weatherless, of the M St. High School. Those who were present pronounced the speakers the very best that could be secured for such a purpose. The occasion was one long to be remembered, and shows what The Bee said sometime ago, that the move was one in the right direction. It also shows the need of such services each year for we are somewhat tardy in our appreciation of what our brave soldiers did. Gen. A. S. Burt is to give a lecture on the Colored Soldier, and it is two to one that the appreciation he ought to get will not be given. The young people would rather dance away the hours, hear the deeds of war recounted. All this means that our patriotism is just a little drowsy. Let us awaken The meeting at Howard last Sunday was worthy in every way. The patronage was fair. Other speakers than those mentioned were Mrs. B. B. Anderson. Hon. J. C. Dancy, Dr. J. T. Walker, Major Charles R. Douglass Mr. Nelson Booker. The I. O. St Luke was the entertaining fraternity The Bee did its share in pushing the matter and we are glad for a good measure of success. Let us have throughout the years to come a regular memorial Sunday. PROF. HERSHAW RETURNED. His Visit to Tuskegee a Royal Treat Invited by Dr. Washington. Mr. L. M. Hershaw has returned from attending commencements at the Atlanta University and Tuskegee Institute. He attended the meeting of the Board of Trustees of Atlanta University, of which he is a member. During the year there was a fire at the university which did considerable damage to the girls' dormitory. The Tuskegee Institute made a donation to the university this year, which trustees of the university acknowledged by a resolution which was spread upon their records, a copy being sent to Tuskegee by the hands of Mr. Hershaw. Mr. Hershaw witnessed the commencement exercises, was one of the luncheon' guests of Dr. and Mrs. Washington, and was given a prominent place in the academic procession preceding the graduation exercises. He expresses himself as highly gratified at the courtesy and hospitality of which he was the recipient, and also at the spirit of amity and co-operation existing between Atlanta University and Tuskegee.

Turner, treasurer; M. I. Key, teacher. DR. MARCUS F. WHEATLAND Entertained by Doctor George W. Cabiniss, at His Handsome Residence, 1744 K Street Northwest. One of the most brilliant, agreeable and informal stags was given Monday evening at the beautiful residence of Dr. George W. Cabiniss, 1744 K Street Northwest, in honor of Dr. Marcus F. Wheatland, of Newport, R. I. This distinguished physician has been visiting friends in this city for some time as the special guest of Dr. Charles I. West. The informal stag last Monday evening was given by Dr. Cabiniss. It was one of those enjoyable events that Dr. Cabiniss has frequently given during the social career of his most amiable-wife and himself. It was a buffet service, which was under the direction of that famous caterer Mr. Geo. F. M. Brown. It was a most delightful repast. Among those present were: Dr. Marcus F. Wheatland, of Newport, R. I., in whose honor the stag was given; Drs. Charles Purvis. C. W. Childs, Charles H. Marshall, W. S. Lofton, E. D. Williston, W. C. McNeil, Charles I. West, Judge Robert H. Terrell, Mr. Archibald H. Grimke, Mr. Russell Boyd, Mr. Eugene Brooks, H. C. Tyson and Mr. W. Calvin Chase. COLORED MEN DISMISSED. City Postmaster Dismissing and Reducing Colored Men. The new Democratic City Postmaster, who hasn't warmed his seat as yet, has dismissed within the past five or ten days four colored men, namely, Willie Wilkinson, an employee for years in the City Post Office; Mr. Butler, Sam Brown and Hood, and has reduced Phil. H. Shepper from $1,200 to $1,000 clerkship. All of these colored men. The Bee is informed that several more colored men are slated to go within the next fifteen days. Roman Wedding. Don't fail to see the Roman Wedding at the M Street High School Friday evening. June 12. at 8 p. m. THE CORNER STONE LAYING The Florida Avenue Baptis Church INTERESTING AND IMPRESSIVE CEREMONIES Hundreds Turned Away. Monday evening last at 4 o'clock thousands of citizens of this city assembled in, around and about the Florida Avenue Baptist Church to witness the cornerstone laying by the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows under the direction of Grandmaster William I. Lee and Charles S. Hill, the grand secretary. It was a memorable occasion and will go down in the history of the church as red letter day. At the designated hour Deacon James Langhorne introduced Rev. W. A. Taylor, D. D., as master of ceremonies, who introduced Rev. Dr. W. Bishop Johnson, who made the principal address. Dr. Johnson paid glowing tributes to James Langhorne, Jabez Lee, E. B. Reid, James A. Smallwood and others for their wise leadership in organizing the church and in securing its present beautiful building and last, but not least by a long sight, in procuring such a noble and proficient pastor as Rev. W. A. Taylor, D. D., who was inaugurated the spiritual leader of the church June 1, 1913. When Dr. Johnson concluded his address the stone was laid. There were many old coins, newspapers (among them three copies of the Washington Bee, Hon. W. Calvin Chase, Editor) and the records of the organization of the church we placed in the stone. In the minds of scores of people not yet old, is the fact that not many years ago people of the African race were not permitted to enter into Le Droit Park, a territory where the church is now situated. It then was the abode of white aristocracy, and was walled in with placards displayed here and there on the walls announcing in glaring letters "dogs and Negroes not allowed," and this church was the place of worship for the then residents of the park. Time, the great leveler, has beaten down the walls and let in this exclusive section another race of ebony hue, who now have possession of its beautiful homes. The climax was reached, however, when the people of the Florida Avenue Baptist Church captured the old Gurley Chapel and transformed it into a meeting place of a Baptist Church destined to become one of the most influential in this city. Others who spoke were Dr. E. E. Ricks, Mr. W. I. Lee; Dr. W. A. Taylor, Dr. W. D. Jarvis, Dr. S. G. Tompkins. Rev. Taylor, the pastor, has just closed a successful year at the church. Many souls have been added. The membership now runs above the one thousand mark. The chairmen of the various committees: James Langhorne, Jabez Lee, Mrs. W. A. Taylor and W. E. Causie-Esko. Deacons: James Langhorne, chairman; John H. Wright, Major Towles, Lewis Hill, Essex Bogle, I. N. Gooch, Charles Mallony, Thomas B. Hawthorne, Henry S. Snyder, Lindsey Jones, Ellsworth Filmore, James S. Johnson, James I. McCallister, William Samuels, John R. Pollard and W. H. Evans. Trustees: Jabez Lee, chairman; E. B. Reid, James A. Smallwood, Gilbert T. Harris, James H. Winslow, treasurer, Carter B. Braxton, Albert Harris, James A. Jackson, E. J. Branch, M. M. Peace. Lend a Hand Association. The ladies of the Lend a Hand Association of Ministers' Wives, interdenominational, met at the home of Mrs. Crowner, 1413 Q Street Northwest. Saturday afternoon, May 23, in honor of Mrs. I. N. Ross, organizer of the association, who will soon leave the city for Baltimore, her new field of labor. Mrs. S. A. Fountain, president of the association, made a unique address, and in behalf of the association, presented to Mrs. Ross a handsome black silk umbrella. Mrs. Ross responded in her ever pleasing manner. Mrs. L. M. Beckett, another useful member, will also leave the city shortly to join her husband, Rev. L. M. Beckett, D. D., in his work at Havre de Grace, Md. A bunch of beautiful carnations was presented to her, as a token of appreciation and esteem. The presentation was made by Mrs. C. R. Derricks. Mrs. Beckett, after recovering her surprise, replied in a very appreciative way. All the ladies present expressed regrets at the departure of so useful and faithful members and wished them God-speed. After singing "God be with you till we meet again," the ladies left, having spent a very enjoyable afternoon Among those present were Mrs. I. N. Ross, Mrs. L. M. Beckett, Mrs. S. A. Fountain, Mrs. J. A. Taylor, Mrs. C. Harris, Mrs. Jarvis, Mrs. Derricks, Mrs. Lampkins, Mrs. Corrothers and others. A GREAT CONQUEROR A GRAND TRIUMPH Jesus Was "Put to Death In Flesh, Made Alive In Spirit."

May 31.—Fastor Russell's, famous PHOTO-DRAMA OF CREATION beautifully pictures our Lord's ascension and the subsequent outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. The educational value of pictures is well known; and the public are very May 31.—Pastor Russell's, famous PHOTO-DRAMA OF CREATION beautifully pictures our Lord's ascension and the subsequent outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. The educational value of pictures is well known; and the public are very appreciative of the DRAMA as means of instruction along Biblical lines. Wherever it is presented, large crowds are in daily attendance. The Pastor's text today was, "When He ascended up on High, He led a multitude of canvases"—Ecph. 4:8 margin. It is appropriate, began the Pastor, that on this day, celebrated as the anniversary of Pentecost, we should have well in mind what we celebrate. Ten days ago was the anniversary of our Lord's ascension. In one sense of the word, our Lord Jesus ascended at the time of His resurrection from the dead; for then He left the human nature and the tomb for the Divine nature and immortality. He farried, however, for the space of forty days after His resurrection, that He might establish and instruct His Apostles. During that time He was invisible to them, except when He manifested himself by appearing miraculously in various forms to convince them that e was no longer dead, and that He as no longer confined to human contours—that His resurrection had made. In a spirit being again, on a higher aide than He was before He took human nature for the suffering of death order to redeem humanity. The Pastor went on to explain carefully that during the period between his resurrection and His ascension our wd taught His followers not alone His words, but also by His conduct, he had not yet received the Holy Spirit, the speaker declared, and hence could not understand or appreciate spiritual things. They could therefore receive instruction only along natural lines. Jesus was raised from the dead, a spirit being, far above angels, principalities and powers. And He gone directly to the Father without manifesting Himself to His disciples, they would not have been able to understand the truth of the matter. Hence their lessons were given them largely in pantomime, corroborated by the Master's words, explaining that it was necessary for Messiah to die in order to redeem the world, and that it was also necessary for Him to rise from the dead and to ascend on High and re-enter the spiritual plane of existence in order that frond that higher plane of being He might be the more capable of filling the great office of Prophet, Priest and King for mankind. The Pentecostal Blessings. After forty days, during which He was invisibly present with His disciples, except on the few occasions when He manifested Himself for a few moments each, our Lord ascended* to Heaven. Ten days afterward,- the Holy Spirit came from the Father upon the waiting Household of Faith. The outpouring of the Spirit evidenced to them that they were justified freely from all things, through the merit of the Redeemer's sacrifice, that their consecration to sacrifice themselves had been accepted of the Father, and that theeforth they might count themselves as joint-sacrificers with Christ, members of His Body, members of "the Church of the First-born, written in Heaven," members of the Seed of Abraham, in whom all the families of the earth are to be blessed. The Pastor then demonstrated that only Jews received the Pentecostal blessings. Until three and a half years thereafter, in harmony with a Divine promise made to the Jews, the Gentiles were excluded. Then the time came for the Gospel to go to the Gentiles. The record informs us that Cornellus was the first Gentile to be received into spiritual relationship with God. Until God's due time for "the middle wall of partition" between Jew and Gentile to be broken down, he could not receive the spiritual blessings. Even then he was received, not because of his works and prayers, but because of faith in the redemptive sacrifice offered upon Calvary. Seen by Saul of Tarsus. The Apostles were to bear witness to the resurrection of Jesus; but Judas having lost his place, which was given to St. Paul, it was proper that the lat- ter should also be able to bear witness to Jesus' resurrection. Recounting those who had seen our Lord after His resurrection, St. Paul says, "Last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born before the time." Jesus appeared to St. Paul in the glory of His spirit being, "shining above the brightness of the sun" at noonday. The sight caused injury to Saul's eyes. The Pastor then pointed out how inappropriate and unsatisfactory such a manifestation would have been if the Redeemer had so appeared to the Eleven during the forty days following His resurrection. They could not possibly have identified the glorious Personage who shone above the brightness of the noonday sun with the Lord Jesus, their Friend, their Teacher. But to Saul of Tarsus, the revealing in fiery light, above the noonday glare, was very appropriate. It convinced him in a manner that no human appearance could have equalled that Jesus was no longer a man and that He was no Impostor. St. Paul's conversion was instantaneous. It should not cause us to marvel that Jesus ascended, as He declared, "up to where He was before," said the Pastor. It should not surprise us that the Apostle declares that our Lord ascended in dignity and station far above angels, principalities and powers, and above every name that is named. On the contrary, it would be both equitable and God-like that the great Jehovah should highly honor His faithful Son, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the Ending of the creation of God. Could we, he asked, for one moment suppose that our great Creator would permit this faithful Son, or any servant, to lay down life in the Divine service and to suffer loss as a consequence of his obedience? Is it not much more rational to believe, as the Scriptures declare, that "Him hath God highly exalted?" Extreme Humiliation and Exaltation. Pastor Russell called attention to the Apostle's phraseology in the context—that the One who ascended had previously descended, and that the descending and the ascending were related as cause and effect. The One who has ascended on High completely fills the highest position in the great Divine Government of the Universas Head of principalities and powers, angels and men—next to the great Jehovah. Yet, as the Apostle warns us, we must not identify this glorified One with the One who in obedience to the Father's will came down from Heaven and as a man humbled Himself unto death, even the ignominious death of the cross. The Apostle calls attention to these two-extremes of humiliation and exaltation—both accomplished in the Son of God, the Logos, the Messiah, the Christ. The Pastor then showed that if some of us at one time had supposed that our Lord Jesus ascended to Heaven in a physical condition, as a man, we had entirely misunderstood the Scriptures. To suppose that Jesus, went to Heaven a man, the Pastor maintained, is to mistake the significance of His title, the Son of Man, which He preserves as identifying Him with His great relegative work—as one of His many titles. To suppose that Jesus is in Heaven a human being, he declared, is to suppose that He is still, as when on earth, "a little lower than the angels," whereas the Scriptures state that He has ascended far higher, so that not only men, but also all the angels of God, are commanded to worship Him. To suppose Jesus in Heaven a human being is to suppose Him out of all harmony with Heavenly surroundings and spiritual conditions. Moreover, the speaker queried, are we not told that the Church of Christ will be changed from the human condition to the spiritual condition in the resurrection; and that this change will make them like their Redeemer, so that they may see Him as He IS, not as He WAS—that they may see Him in glory, honor and immortality—exaltation—and not as the One who in humiliation was made flesh that He might sacrifice His flesh on behalf of the race of Adam? Answering his own question, he declared that when we so thought we forgot the Scriptural assertion that "dies and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God." This statement of Scripture implies that all who become partakers of the Divine nature and share in the Heavenly Kingdom with their Lord and Redeemer must be made like Him by the power of the First Resurrection. Difficulties of Unbelievers. The Pastor declared that he had found worldly-wise people very sceptical respecting the descent of the Logos, the Son of God, to earthly conditions, but that Christians seem to have more difficulty than do the world to comprehend the ascension of Jesus to the spirit plane and its excellent glory. Both points, however, are important. Whoever is unable to see that the Logos, the glorious Son of the Highest, humbled Himself, divested Himself of the spirit nature and took instead the human nature, cannot see that Jesus was sinless. And those who cannot recognize that He was holy, harmless, undefiled and separate from sinners, cannot believe in the sacrifice of Jesus as being a Ransom for Adam, to effect his release and that of his posi- tity from condemnation to death. Pastor Russell went into considerable detail respecting the method by which the Logos was transferred from Heavenly conditions to earthly conditions. He showed that the purity of the Logos, His perfection of organism, His freedom from sin, was preserved, notwithstanding the fact that He was born of an earthly mother who was not free from the blemishes of the Adamic race. The speaker proffered his hearers, free on application, a treatise entitled; The Undefiled One" which he believes shows scientifically the process used of God by which the Logos was changed from the higher to the human nature, yet preserved immaculate. A Serious Error Among Christians. The error, of supposing that Jesus is still a man was shown to signify the denial of His statement that He would ascend up where He was before, and of St. Paul's teaching that He has been highly exalted to glory and distinction—the Divine nature, instead of the human nature. This error, the Pastor declared, has led to other errors, one of which he cited; namely, that made by many Christian people of expecting the Second Coming of Jesus in the flesh—as a glorious Man and not as a glorious Spirit, partaker of the Divine nature and altogether disassociated from human nature. Thinking of our Lord at His Second Advent as a glorified Man, they associate Him with a material throne and an earthly court. The unreasonableness of this error leads other Christian people in an opposite direction. Realizing that such an earthly kingdom would be a step backward rather than forward, they deny the Second Coming of Christ to establish the long-promised Messianic Kingdom. The proper thought, the speaker declared, is that Jesus accomplished in the flesh the work which the Father had given Him to do, when He sacrificed His earthly life. The Father rewarded Him gloriously by exalting Him to the highest spirit plane. Now our glorified Lord is waiting for the gathering of His Elect, His Church, His Bride. These are to share in His resurrection to the Diving mature and to sit with Him in His Throne. Then the Kingdom of Messiah, so long promised, will begin to bless the world, using as its earthly representatives, visible to men, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and all the Ancient Worthies mentioned in Hebrews 11. A Multitude of Captives. The Pastor then showed that his text figuratively represents the ascension of our Lord from the earthly plane to the Heavenly as the triumph of a great Conqueror. Sir had gained ascendency over Adam and his race, and had brought them down to the dust, mentally, morally and physically. Moreover, this victory over mankind had been gained in a legal manner, through the one man's disobedience. The Logos divested Himself of His glory on the spirit plane, was made flesh, fulfilled the demands of the Law, proved Himself competent to pay the sinner's Ransom-price, and "gave Himself a Ransom for all, to be testified in due time." Having finished His sacrificial work, He was again received to the spirit mature with exceeding glory and to the right hand of God. Thus, he continued, the great Conqueror is seen returning to the Heavenly state, acclaimed by the Heavenly host, and far down the centuries the prophetic view sees following Him a great procession. First comes the Church, the Royal Priesthood. His brethren, delivered from the power of Sin and Death through the merit of Jesus' blood. These are only the vanguard of an advancing host; they are "a kind of first-fruits to God of His creatures," rescued from Sin and Death. Later on, for a period of a thousand years beyond the deliverance of the Church, the prophetic penetrells countless hosts of seventy nation, people, kindred and tongue, to be delivered from the power of Sin and Death through the merit of Him who died on Calvary. Then will come the glorious consummation, the Pastor said. "When all who will have refused Diving grace shall have been destroyed in the Sea and Death, then shall be heard every creature in Heaven and on earth saying, 'Blessing, and honor, and glory, and power, be unto Him that stitches upon the Throne, and unto the Lamb forever and ever.'" "The Acceptable Year of the Lord." The Pastor then explained that at our Lord's First Advent began "the acceptable Year of the Lord"—the time when God, having accepted the sacrifice of Christ Jesus, became willing to accept the sacrifices of all who desire to become His disciples—to take up their cross and follow Him through good report and evil report, even unto death. The entire Gospel Age, he declared, antitypes Israel's Atonement Day; and the sacrifices of our Lord and the Church are the "better sacrifices," foreshadowed by the bullock and the goat offered typically by the Jews. This antitypical Atonement Day is "the acceptable Year of the Lord," as Jesus pointed out. God's faithful people of this acceptable Day are glad to be invited to "present their bodies living sacrifices, holy and acceptable unto God." In the end of this acceptable Day will come the end of all opportunity thus to sacrifice the human nature and become joint-heels with Jesus Christ our Lord. "Times of Restitution." After the Gospel Age has passed away, the Pastor declared, there will be a new period introduced, styled in the Scriptures, "The Times of Restitution." The acceptable Day for the sacrifice of the Church has lasted for nearly nineteen centuries, he said; and the Scriptures clearly indicate that the Times of Restitution will last a thousand years. St. Peter tells us just when these Times of Restitution will begin. They will begin as a result of the Second Coming of Jesus, the Messiah, and the establishment of His Kingdom. Then "Times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; and He shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you, whom the Heavens must retain until the Times of Restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all His holy Prophets since the world began." Acts 3:19-21. U. S. MEDIATORS ARE BROAD MINDED Men Able to Handle Delicate Legal Questions as Well as Show Patience and Diplomacy Were Needed, and Wilson Named Prominent Attorneys For the Positions. Naglaa Falls.—When President Wilson was casting about for two men to represent the United States government at the mediation conference on the Mexican situation he made up his mind that an essential qualification of this government's representatives was a masterful knowledge of law. He felt at that time that the conference might be long drawn out and that the mediators and the men whom this country and Mexico named to guard their respective interests would be confronted almost daily, with legal problems of a more or less intricate nature. Furthermore, he felt that the men he selected must possess broad gauged W. W. 1914, by Alain Press Association. JUSTICE LAMAR (TOP) AND F. W. LEHMANN (BELOW). minds which would be able to grasp the problems of diplomacy as well as those of the law. Consequently he selected two men who so far in their careers have advanced solely on their own merits as lawyers of extraordinary ability and men of unusual poise. One of them has arisen to the highest pinnacle of his profession, a position on the supreme bench of the United States. The other is considered by a majority of the members of the supreme court to be the able-best lawyer practicing before that tribunal. One of them, Joseph Rucker Lamar, associate judge of the United States supreme court, is a Georgian by birth, a southerner of southerners and a member of one of the most distinguished families in the country—a family which has given many strong men to public life. The other is a native of Prussia, who came to this country as a child and spent his early life in Iowa. Catching him when he was young, the great middle west put its stamp on him forever, and any one would now recognize Frederick William Lehmann as a typical citizen of that section of the country. As in their origin Uncle Sam's two representatives at the Niagara conference are totally dissimilar, so are they utterly unlike in personal appearance. Justice Lamar is tall, angular and austere looking. Mr. Lehmann is short, stocky and extremely jovial looking. The dissimilarity between the two men really ends with their origin and early training, for, while their outward appearance indicates that they are different in nature and general makeup, the fact is that their natures are really quite similar. Mr. Lehmann indicates in every movement and expression that he is genial, good tempered and fond of the society of his fellow men. Justice Lamar is the same sort of man, but does not look it. Both are full of life and devoted to social intercourse. In the matter of their work and their careers they have reached the same point by different routes. Although one of the youngest members of the supreme court, Justice Lamar is noted for the lucidity of his opinions, the depth of his thought and the literary style with which he writes on legal topics. Mr. Lehmann is noted for his clarity of thought, the almost tender care with which he prepares a case and the masterful manner in which he presents it before the higher judicial tribunals of the country. FORTUNE FOR EDUCATOR. Is Notified That He Is One of Three Heirs to $25,000,000 Estate. Hersons to $25,000. Lawrence, Kan—Belong the wealthiest schoolteacher in the United States is the situation which has been forced upon Professor E. M. Wollank of the Pittsburgh Normal school, who has been notified that an estate of $25,000,-000 has been left to him and his son and a Louisiana banker. The fortune was left by a great-uncle who died several years ago in Berlin. The will provided the money go to the male descendants of the Wollank line. Professor Wollank, his son and a banker of Delh, La., are the only heirs, and each will get one-third of the estate. "Of course I will be glad to get the money," Professor Wollank said, "but I intend to keep on teaching school." Professor Wollank has been at the normal school five years. He is a teacher of languages and is a widower. GOSPEL AUTOS IN CHICAGO. Will Try to Reclaim Wealthy as Well as Pennille "Savages." Chicago. — Gospel automobiles were put into service here on the theory that there were more "religious savages" in Chicago than in "darkest Africa." Moody Bible Institute dedicated the first of several such gospel autos which will tour Chicago. The speakers will consider the wealthiest residence districts and the poorest tenement sections equally "savage" and will work in both. Five hundred men and women will take turns preaching every night for weeks, first in ghetto districts, then along the lake shore. "We expect the wealthy will listen to the sermons just the same as the poorer people," said the Rev. W. W. Ketchum, who preached to a crowd at North Clark and West Division streets. CONVICT MAY HARVEST CROP. Kansas Governor Paroles Man Whose Family Needs Him. Topeka, Kan. — Governor Hodges granted a parole of sixty days to W. F. Richards, a prisoner at the state penitentiary, so Richards might go to his home in Saline county and harvest his wheat crop. Richards entered prison last January under a sentence of from one to five years for selling mortgaged property. He was heavily in debt, according to reports to the governor, his family has been dependent upon neighbors. Friends recently informed the governor the wheat which Richards planted last fall promised to yield an abundant crop. The governor decided the family needed Richards for the next sixty days more than the state of Kansas did. CUT OUT BREAKFAST TWENTY YEARS AGO Norwleh, Coun. — Mr. and Mrs. Charles Courtney Haskell have just been celebrating the twentieth anniversary of their adoption of a "no breakfast" rule. Flaky rolls, fragrant coffee, crisp bacon and eggs and delicately browned griddlecakes may have tempted them to break the rule, but they declare they have never yielded. Twenty years ago Mr. Haskell was fifty-four years old and an invalid, hopeless of regaining health, he says. After eight years of "doctoring" he met a certain Dr. Dewey of Meadville, Pa., who advised him to omit the early morning meal. Mrs. Haskell had suffered from asthma for fifteen years. Both resolved to cut out breakfast. "Now, for twenty years," says Mr. Haskell, "we have followed this plan of natural, hygienic, scientific, divine living, without the break of a single day, and whereas I was an old, worm-out man twenty years ago, today, at the age of seventy-four, I am in the enjoyment of permanent, perfect health, doing better and more effective work than ever before." Mr. Haskell says he persuaded Wu Ting Fang to adopt the no breakfast rule. During the most severe winter weather Mr. Haskell goes about generally carrying his hat, baring his head to the wind and storms and seeming to enjoy it and grow rugged by it. Mr. Haskell was at one time a wealthy bookman. He published James G. Blaine's life when Blaine was running for the presidency and was said to have lost heavily when interest in Blaine slumped. BURGLAR LEAVES A NOTE. Writes That the Children Make Too Much Noise to Suit Him. Spokane, Wash.-A. L. White, president of the park board, was awakened by a servant calling that the house had been robbed. Investigation showed jewelry and clothing valued at $700 had been taken. The burglar left behind a note which read: "Your kids make too much noise and keep waking up, and it is now 5 o'clock, so I cannot finish the job. Goodby! I see you did not buy a new overcoat." Some weeks ago the White home was robbed of an overcoat, and it is believed the same thief was in the house a second time. 16,000,000 SEE MOVIES EACH DAY TO AFFECT 18,000 THEATERS Film Makers Protest, Saying Their Products Are Good—Advocates of Proposed Measure Say Children Are Led Into Crime by Some Photo Plays. Some States Censor All Reels. Washington.-Sixteen million persons daily attend the 18,000 moving picture theaters now in operation in the United States. A large proportion of the patrons are children. There are approximately 20,000,000 school children in the United States. The attendance of the picture shows therefore represents four-fifths of the daily enrollment of the public schools and far exceeds that reported by churches, libraries and other institutions of human betterment. These facts, or what are represented to be facts, were brought out before the house committee on education. The committee has under consideration a bill to establish a federal censorship commission over moving pictures. The measure has strong support, and the chances are that it will be enacted into law at this session of congress. It has been indorsed by clergymen, educators and some moving picture exhibitors. Other exhibitors oppose it on the ground that film makers censor their product and that federal censorship would interfere with the business. Another objection urged against the bill is that its passage might serve as a precedent for legislation abridging the liberty of the press. Those who voice this objection argue that if the federal government undertakes to censor moving pictures it may extend the authority to printed matter. Attractors of federal censorship of moving pictures say that these exhibitions are hurtful or beneficial to the youthful mind according to their character. It is asserted that many crimes have been traced to children who had witnessed debasing scenes in moving picture houses. For this reason it is argued that competent inspection and effective censorship of films are needed. The two sides of the story were told in the house committee. "Many parts of moving picture exhibitions are perfectly proper," said the Rev. H. N. Prinzle, assistant superintendent of the international reform bureau. "Other parts may be objectionable because they present at times pictures of murders, robberies, holdups, assaults, burglaries and nearly the whole catalogue of crimes. "Every few days you may see in the newspapers allusions by criminal court judges to the connection between juvenile crime and the demoralizing presentations just mentioned. This bill proposes the examination and censorship of picture films so that tainted and disgusted amusement may not be sent out from about fifty film manufacturing firms and importing firms to nearly 20,000 moving picture theaters to injure millions of immature persons who daily see these productions." W. Stephen Bush of New York, representing a moving picture publication, made a defense of American made moving pictures. "Respect for the ordinary descentes of life characterizes the producers of moving pictures," he said. "They are anxious to please, not to offend. It is a fact that the American producers supply not less than 75 per cent of the world's market of moving pictures. "No matter where you go in Europe, you will find a strong percentage of each program is made up of pictures made in this country. Why? Because the American pictures with negligible exceptions are clean. "They are made by men whose eyes and ears heed public taste and sentiment and who do not want to cater to any morbid or depraved taste. Now, censorship has been responsible in the countries of Europe for a great decrease in the number of pictures made, and absolutely no good is accomplished by the censorship such as exists in Russia, Germany and other countries." It was brought out that Ohio, Kansas, Pennsylvania and California exercise censorship over moving pictures. Boards of moving picture censorship also are in operation in many cities, among them New York, San Francisco, Chicago and Cleveland. Censorship laws are applied to the business in England, Germany, Austria, Denmark, Russia and Canada. HIS INCOME TAX 2 CENTS. Costs United States More Than Levy to Send Bill to Philadelphia. Philadelphia.—Among the first income tax bills to be sent out from the local office was one for 2 cents, addressed to a resident of this city. This is the sum total of his tax, computed on a net taxable income of $2, minus all exemptions and deductions allowed by the law. Computation of this return required the services of several clerks in this city and Washington. The envelope and the paper cost the government more than the amount of the bill.

Next to Washington, perhaps, St. Louis has been famed most for its colored society, and its almost unexamined hospitality. Its large number of colored school teachers, drawn from every section of the country, and representing the best institutions of higher and technical education, gives to the city a cultured community as does Washington's more than five hundred colored teachers give to that city an air of culture. Secure in their professions of culture, and conscious of much "higher" education, the colored people of St. Louis had for years neglected that basic foundation for permanent and substantial progress—"business." There is a revival on here now, or to be more exact an awakening to the unexcelled opportunities offered the face for the development of the business side of life. While not in the least neglecting either culture or the so-called "higher" education, the colored people of this city, inspired by the achievements of colored business men in other cities, and encouraged by the Local Negro Business League, are branching out rapidly, and successfully, into various lines of business activities. St. Louis is a wonderful field for development of Negro business enterprise—it is almost a virgin field. One of the most complete, and best stocked gents furnishing stores, conducted by colored men in the country, is that of Clark and Smith in this city. The largest, by far, and most modernly equipped steam laundry in the country, conducted by colored men is to be found in this city, employing some forty hands. The All Wok First Class.

St. Louis' more than 40,000 colored population has awakened to the fact that patronage given to Colored business and professional men will bring handsome returns in the shape of increased opportunities for young colored men and women to become clerks, bookkeepers, stenographers, etc., in the business houses and offices conducted by colored men. St. Louis' colored (public) schools are the best in the country—best buildings, best equipped, best managed, and they possess a corps of the best prepared principals and teachers. No city compares with St. Louis for the number of its magnificent colored churches, and no city's colored pulpitheurs surpass in preparedness, eloquence or race devotion the colored ministers of this city. Here is a galaxy of fully prepared divines. I was, of course, most particularly interested in learning the business progress being made here, among colored men—their material progress rather than their religious progress, and consequently had little time to go into the achievements of the fifty-seven colored churches here. I have found, however, that where a city's religious interests and educational needs are conserved by excellent schools and many ample churches a safer foundation exists upon which to rear a business superstructure. I ascertained, during my four days stay here, and after careful investigation, that the colored people of this city have $150,000 invested in business enterprises; that they own $250,000 worth of real es- Men Admire Women with Beautiful Hair!

I also found that colored men and women engaged in business and the professions here are injecting into their work rare energy and admirable personal service, which usually makes for success. Most of the colored business houses here were visited by me personally, so I therefore have first-hand information as to their conduct. So far the race's business activities in this city are restricted to the following: Gents' furnishings, grocery stores, meat markets, drug stores, coffee and teas, undertakers, livery, shoe repairing, notion stores, landscape gardening, theatres, cafes, laundry, hair colleges, printing shops, newspaper, publishing, and marble works. The business zone, however, is being extended each year, and it is not improbable that the colored people of St. Louis will, in a few years, have business enterprises to meet every requirement of an educated, growing population. The Local Negro Business League here, which had been but recently reorganized, is splendidly officered by and composed of live men, its president being that most excellent and successful, and public spirited man. Mr. W. C. Gordon who, beginning life about twenty years ago with less than $300 saved from his salary and tips as a Pullman car porter, now requires six figures to tell of his possessions. The local league here has become an enthusiastic and potent factor in propagating the doctrine of business and patronizing colored business and professional men. In few places visited have I been offered greater opportunities and facilities for getting a line on material progress than here, and nowhere I was shown greater courtesies or extended greater hospitality, and especially at the hands of the colored business men here.

C. K. Robinson, one of the most public spirited colored men I have ever met, is making marked success here in the printing business, and Dr. Ernest Harris, a thorough business man as he is a thorough pharmacist, as the proprietor of two drug stores is registering a high-water mark of success. Mr. Ferguson has given to St. Louis, in "The Grill," one of the finest equipped, with the best cuisine, cafes to be found under coated management in the country, and the race here is proving its demand for real service by patronizing well The Grill. The interests of the race here in the Mound City are most ably championed by two race newspapers which stand out among the best published and edited. Among the men here who are pushing the business spirit among colored men are: W. C. Gordon, C. K. Robinson, Dr. Ernest Harris, Wm. Osborn, A. Russell, L. L. Williams, T. J. Nevins, R. H. Stanton, W. H. Mossy, Ficklin, Ferguson, Calloway, Clark and Smith. These, with other members of the Local Negro Business League, by their activity, along business lines, constitute a most hopeful sign of a business future. The colored people here occupy, and own, some beautiful residences, and the desire to own a home has become almost a mania.

Now that there is some doubt of Villa's nationality, he is now being painted a tyrant of the blackest due. He is too brave to be characterized a Negro and too brutal to be a white man. No matter what his nationality is, he is giving his foes their money's worth. He has been styled heretofore the greatest general of the present age. If the colored Americans in the South could only produce a Villa, James K. Vardaman, Hoke Smith, Ben Tillman and all Southern crackers would sing another tune. The colored Americans in the South are greatly in need of a Villa or some body very much like the Mexican Villa. The United States and all other countries in which traitors exist had followed Villa's tactics there would be no daughters of ex-Confederates or ex-Confederate veterans or Southern crackers who continue to insult our colored women in the South and outrage their honor and virtue. When Villa is through, The Bee is of the opinion that all Mexican traitors within and without will sleep eternally. There will be no north, no south, no cast or west in Mexico. If the daily Post and other journals in this country would condemn outrages and murders of innocent colored Americans in the South, these wholesale outrages of colored Americans would cease. All white people are not alike. There are some human beings among them, who stand willing and ready to condemn outrages, no matter by whom committed. Let a Negro Villa in the South come forth!! COLORED MEN DISCHARGED Now comes the day of retribution among the colored employees in this government. The City Postoffice has decided to lead in this wholesale decapitation of colored people. The City Postoffice has discharged four young colored men, and from all reports it is quite evident that other colored men have been slated to go. Just how Negro Democrats can take consolation from the manner in which colored men are treated is a surprise. There will be more decapitations of colored men in the next few days. Colored Republicans are not to be succeeded by so-called colored Democrats. ORDER THE BEEF The "Sage of the Potomac" started this week on his annual vacation. He will renew his department on his return in about three weeks. The Bee will, however, contain much other news of interest and importance. Don't fail to get it each week. Before leaving on your vacation do not neglect to order The Bee sent to you so you may keep up with the news at home while away. FOR THE MONGREI For the benefit of the Mongrel in The Sun, The Bee gives this timely warning: "A man once did sell the Lion's skin, while the beast still lived, was killed while hunting him." Don't be of the opinoin that The Bee is ignorant of the office and school editors of this new born. The Bee gave a hint a few weeks ago which ought to have been sufficient. Some editors are good marksmen. Where was the police? Those Negro editors and correspondents who are supporting the Democratic party will be the first at the cash drawer before the next Republican nomination. NO TIME TO HIGGLE. Since the return of Colonel Roosevelt from South America, tremendous impulse has been given to popular speculation touching that gentleman's attitude toward the Republican party. Many staunch and far-seeing Republicans have announced their belief that they can scent an early reconciliation of discordant elements and their consequent solidification into an irresistible Republican phalanx which shall sweep the country in 1916. There are others, to be sure, who do not share this roseate prospect, but declare the breach irretrievable, with every likelihood of a widening of the chasm as the years roll by. They claim that the prospect of party unity is mirage. a return of Colonel Roosevelt from South Pulpulse has been given to popular specu- larsman's attitude toward the Republican and far-seeing Republicans have announced to cent an early reconciliation of discordant requent solidification into an irresistible R shall sweep the country in 1916. There a do not share this roseate prospect, but de- cide, with every likelihood of a widening o roll by. They claim that the prospect of "An ignus fatuus that bewitches. And leads men into pools and ditches," from which delusions they fervently pray ever to be delivered. Were this latter element of dominating numerical proportions, the prospect of relief from the veritable horrors of the existing color-prejudiced, free-trade, craw-fishing, Union-soldier-hating and incompetent administration would be gloomy, indeed. But an inquiry into the temper and relative proportion of this class will reveal the fact that it is, in the main, composed of a minority whose personal success carried through an ill-advised use of the "steam roller," and the attempt to "bottle up" the anti-machine forces at the last National Convention, not to speak of the corraling of colored delegates, to prevent concert of action on their part looking to the selection of a standard-bearer to which all faction of the party could, with assurance of success, adjust themselves. There is no disposition to underrate party loyalty or palliate the action of recalcitrants in their stampede against a fair and regular nomination. The Bee favors party organization and religious adherence to its untrammelled nominees. But free discussion and friendly conference did not characterize the proceedings of the last convention. Opposition to a "cut and dried" slate was denounced as Iscariotism, and under circumstances where it was clear that the majority of those who could make election possible, if not certain, composed that opposition. This fact was clearly indicated by the tremendous results of the primaries which pointed unmistakably to the popular disapprobation of the Taft Administration. And the opposition to Taft was not confined to white Republicans only; the vast majority of colored voters assisted mightily to set the stamp of disapproval upon Taft's advisers. Here was a case of a well-disposed gentleman under the influence of self-seeking, wiley politicians bent on a rule-or-run policy, coupled with a disposition and attempt to "ship" the colored brother, and, on grounds of expediency, to substitute "lily-whites," augmented by such other Southern voters as might be caught by federal patronage and the ungrateful publication of their ruthless policy of deserting their colored allies. For our part, we are inclined to join those more sanguine Republicans who believe that it is not only possible, but comparatively easy, to unite the anti-Democratic forces into a solid body which, under proper leadership, will be able to bury the Democratic party under a veritable handslide. How is this to be done? Simply by going back to first principles, for principles constitute the only basis or reason for party fealty. By a straying away from principles, the Republican party lost its prestige, its respectability and finally its power; only by returning can the party be resuscitated. Human rights, civil and political especially; the right of the majority to rule; zealous regard for and religious execution of the provisions of the Constitution; absolute equality of rights; tariff regulation consistent with commercial expansion and adapted to domestic industrial conditions; discouragement and removal of jimcrowism, in all its hideous or specious forms—a return to which principles and policies will place the Republican party in its true relation to society and insure a long lease of power, prestige and prosperity. Upon these tenets, the "stand patter" and the progressive can firmly and nobly stand, by their actualization, the boasted American civilization will become a living fact, instead of a jest and word, and the world at large be benefited and ennobled. An examination of the principles and pronouncements of the Progressive party reveals the truth that they not only include those of the Republican party, but that they advocate policies and measures calculated to disarm Democrats. Socialists and other political organizations which have profited by reason of lax administration on the part of the Republican party, and its failure to actively and adequately administer to the growing wants and needs of the people. With but a few minor exceptions, no Republican can honestly object to the Progressive platform. Hence, it would seem to be, not so much a matter of by what name the party advocating the best principles may assume, but rather, under whose leadership can these principles be brought to bear upon social conditions. Therefore, all Republicans good and true, should lay aside the prejudices and antagonisms fostered by mere tradition and enthusiastically join in the crusade against hydra-headed Democracy, without regard to who is the standard-bearer, excepting only to be sure that he is an honest and sincere representative. As matters stand, the popular heart and conscience seem to favor Col. Roosevelt, who claims to be a Lincoln-Sumner-Seward Republican. He claims that the administration of the party has belied party principles and capitulated to Mammon. He does not flirt with and pander to Democrats, but simply asks all good Republicans to join and assist in returning to the old principles, augmented by those discovered, formulated and proven to be correct and practical within recent times. We have no hesitancy in asserting that the Progressives, insofar as their principles go, are up to date. broad, humane and thoroughly practical; and we can see no reason why they cannot be heartily supported by the colored people. While the episode concerning our colored soldiers cannot be forgotten, it must be borne in mind that opportunities for correction and amendment were not absent when Mr. Taft became president. Nor must we forget that Colonel Roosevelt, in his treatment of colored delegates was such as to preclude the assumption that in the Brownsville affair he was actuated by race prejudice or hatred of the race. On the contrary, he has by spoken word and printed page shown a deep solicitude for the highest welfare of the colored people, which bespeaks a determination to administer "a square deal," should he ever again possess the power to do so. With a determination not to budge an inch from Republican principles, and to do all in our power to induce or enforce their exemplification, we can see nothing inconsistent in supporting Theodore Roosevelt, should he be a candidate for the presidency. Some people know how to take a tumble. A spider sometimes plays with a fly, and the result sometimes is disastrous. No Sun ever gets too hot for a Bee to do its duty. Who was it that was chased from his house at the point of a revolver in You Street? This city is a dumping ground for fakers. There is a fake society in existence. PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS (By the Sage of the Potomac) I attended the testimonial and reception to Judge Terrell last week. I had a most delightful time. Well, you talk about old men returning to boyhood, they were in the majority. The citizens, so-called, took charge of the affair and snowed the lawyers and other modern and anxious orators out of a job. They were some angry because the program had a stipulated number of orators whose speeches had been censured by the censor—the Judge. He was just determined that nothing would be allowed without first passing the board of censors. My friend Dancy labored under a great strain and many things he said might have been left unsaid. Lord Fauntelroy made one of his fine tooth-comb speeches that would have taken judges to understand. The Lord is some polished orator as well as continuous dancer. Speaking about the lawyers at the Terrell banquet, I understand that the lawyers intend to give a banquet of their own and arrange a program to suit themselves. There is some objections and a division of opinion among them. Some argue that the Judge has been sufficiently banqueted, and too much eating may have a bad effect on his constitution. If you overload a baby's stomach it will give it the "colic." This time of year, to give the Judge the colic would have a disastrous effect. \*\*\* I sent in my $1.50, but Ol that supper that I had anticipated was weighed in the balance and was found wanting; $1.50 subscribed. Certainly there will be a draw back because we had one cake of cream, two or three cakes and all the punch you could drink, with lemonade thrown in. It is as great wonder, how the females stood the effects of that lemonade and ice cream. * * * I dropped in Hotel West last Sunday evening, and right opposite where I saw Judge Terrell, R. Wordy Thompson, traveling Finley, and everlasting talker Phil Waters, of West Virginia. I enjoyed the observation. You know Phil is some talker. R. Wordy was never happier in his life. He has been promoted I understand. Well, he said so himself. He was a long time getting there. Phil Waters drops in town occasionally. I can not understand how Phil is able to endure so long. \*\*\* By the way, I was informed that Drs. Childs and Cabannis are some kind of tango dancers. They won the laurels last week at the Terrell reception. Drs. Childs and Cabannis will take life as it should be taken. Life is what you make it, after all. The lawyers in the Lewis Building have been notified to give up their abode. I understand that an option has been placed on a building in the vicinity of the courts, and if conditions mature they will be to themselves and possess a building of their own. I had decided to take a vacation, but I have changed my mind for the present. I am compelled to remain on the job a little longer, because I have something of importance to say before the month is out. *** The Weatherless and Baily suit has about come to an end. Baily will not be reinsated in the Masonic order. He has received about all that the court allowed. My old friend Weatherless intends to build that Masonic Hall, notwithstanding the opposition of the kickers. I want to see the hall erected. What I would suggest to all concerned, to do all in their power to make the hall erection a great one. You will find kickers everywhere. No matter what their occupation may be. **** There are many restaurant keepers who know how to treat customers. There are others who believe in getting rich quick. No matter what the market price of "food stuff" is, many of these individuals will increase the tariff to its thrice or double value. The idea of charging you fifteen cents for deviled crabs. You can get all the crab meat you can buy for fifteen cents per pint. Just see how many deviled crabs you can make from a pint of crab meat. I purchased three for 25 cents a few days ago and there was nothing but solid meat. This get-rich-quick generally puts a "quietus" on individuals. Armond W. Scott had too much money in bank, so he decided to keep certain amounts in his office safe. One of his unidentified friends walked in his office a few evenings ago without having been invited. He came after office hours, and after Mr. Scott had left and was smugly wrapped between sheets in his bed at home, opened my friend's safe, and it is said, helped himself to all the ready cash he had in the world. The thief, not desiring to stay overtime, artistically took two of his time pieces of antique make, and laid them at his side, and when it was time to go, he took all. Neither the money nor the time pieces have been seen nor heard from since. At last account the cagel eye hunters of Major Sylvester have been put upon the trail of this unidentified visitor. FAIRMOUNT HEIGHTS. Mr. Bascom S. Carter was unanimously elected by the Household of Ruth No. 4,926 of Fairmount Heights, Md., to represent the Household of Ruth at the B. M.

[a Be JUDGE TERRELLSHONORED (Continued from page 1.) mecting of the best men and women of our race. And from this platform it gives me the keenest pleasure to thank the President of the United States and his courageous Attorney General as well as the Senate of the Nation for the tribute they have paid the Negro by giving him representa- tion on the bench at the federal Cap- ital, so that the Nations of the world may learn through their diplomatic representatives who are accredited to our government titat in some parts of our country the Negro is still rec- ognized as‘a man and a citizen. And 1 cannot be too fulsome in praise of the members of the bar, the business men and the press of Washington for their active, persistent and insistent demand for my retention on the bench. Never did any man have morc loyal and earnest support than that which came to me from these sources. Such a victory as we have won should be an inspiration to every col- ored man in our land. Therefore, I urge you to be patient and not te get discouraged and not to give up the fight for better things and higher hon- ors, even though some ‘of us must fail in the struggle. That sweetest of singers, Paul Laurence Dunbar has said in’ verse: . “The man who is strong to fight his fight, And sahose will no front can daunt, If truth be truth and right be right, Is the man that the ages want. Tho’ he fail and die in grim defeat, Yet he has not fled the strife, And the house of earth will seem more sweet, For the perfume of his life.” AFTERMATH OF TERRELL’S RECEPTION Mrs. Terrell was a lady of fashion and enjoyed the dances.

Washington.—A wooden leg, broken in a street car accident, and a number of hurts and bruises are valued at $25,000 in a suit instituted in the district supreme court by Eustace Lee Noble, a general agent and broker, against the Washington Railway, and Electric company. In his declaration Noble says one of the company's cars, on which he was a passenger, became derailed at Four and a Half street southwest, and his wooden leg was broken and rendered of no further use to him. 'The leg, he says, cost him $200. Noble further complains that he was against the seat in front of him he suffered severe bruises, at $200 for a new leg, he says, and $000 for medical attention.

HAS PLAN TO SOLVE FARM LABOR PROBLEM Michigan Man Taking Census to Aid In Colonization. Lansing, Mich.-Labor Commissioner James Cunningham has started what be thinks will result in the taking of a complete census of Michigan farm hands. He is sending out blanks to every supervisor with the request that they be filled out and returned. The blanks ask for the number of farm hands employed by the month, the average number of months they are employed, the average monthly wages, the number of farms operated by tenants and whether or not there is a scarcity of farm help in the district. Some of the supervisors close to Lansing have already answered. "We hope if possible to get some data by which we may be able to start a sort of colonization system which may eventually relieve the farm labor market. "So far we have found that day farm labor is what is scarce. On the other hand, we have reports from some sections which show that there are many farms-large ones—which are only partially cultivated. "Our plan is to have the owners of those large farms cut them up into small parts and put on them Hungarians and other foreigners who are natural born farmers. Give them space enough to live on and raise enough for their own needs and at the same time guarantee them a certain amount of day work in the vicinity. We think in this way we can relieve the problem of day farm labor." Mr. Cunningham has received the cooperation of fifty-three county clerks in his plans to have them act as agents for a free employment bureau at their respective county seats. LOSES FIRST BATHTUB.

To one who makes a tour of the South to study carefully conditions, in so far as they have an effect upon the present and future material progress of the Negro race, the fact that the race in the South is very rapidly outstripping the race in the North, educationally as well as industrially and commercially, is most impressive I have just completed my third trip into the heart of the South as a representative for, and in the interest of the National Negro Business League, the wonderfully effective organization Dr. Booker T. Washington conceived and organized. On the three trips I covered more than twenty-five thousand miles, visiting isolated farming communities as well as the congested cities. To the close observer, and my twenty years active connection with the Fourth Estate has made me a close observer, the apparent optimism, in spite of restrictions and discriminations, prevailing among the Negroes of the South, in contradistinction to the apparent pessimism prevailing among Negroes of the North, compels first astonishment and then hope. In practically every Negro home, every office and every business establishment in the South one visits the visitor becomes conscious of the invisible motto: "Enthusiasm is a commodity here." The world over, that motto expresses the sentiment of only the really earnest, hopeful and strenuously active class. In the same places before mentioned I found a photograph, or a lithograph or a print of Dr. Booker T. Washington decorating the walls, no matter how harmless the place, evidencing the fact that the race in the South believes in, and honors the builder of Tuskegee. No one will attempt to deny that the Negro in the South is grossly discriminated against, or that he is denied certain citizen rights, but from all I saw and learned on my trip these have served as an accelerant, rather than a deterent to race progress, paradoxical as it may seem. In pointes, the Negro in the South is practically a nonentity, but in the trades, professions and in business he is becoming a verile factor. And just in proportion as he increases respect for himself because of advancement along industrial and commercial lines, I found political restrictions, for the Negro becoming less restrictive. For instance, in one southern city I met a most enterprising and substantial Negro business man whom the best white citizens of the city had urged should become a candidate for member of the city council from a ward in which the white largely outnumber the blacks. He refused, however, to comply with their request, stating that the office would interfere with his business; that it could serve as no advantage while it might prove a disadvantage. No white man in that community enjoys higher respect from white men than he, and the judgment of no white man in that community, on business matters, is more highly respected and followed than this Negro who declined the urgent request of white men to become J. H. their candidate for the city council in a southern city where the whites outnumber the Negroes three to one. On this trip I also learned that the number of Negroes who qualify and vote each year is increasing, and to such an extent that the framer and supporters of the "grandfather" clause, which permits the white progeny of Confederate soldiers to vote without complying with the educational qualification, while denying the same right to Negroes, have begun to realize that the educational qualification is serving as a positive incentive to Negro education and a deplorable retardance for what is termed, in the South, the "poor whites;" for the reason that the children of the "poor whites." Knowing that they are exempted from the operation of the educational test, are not accepting, the unrestricted, for them, opportunities for education with anything like the avidity with which Negro children persue education. I also learned that the whites are not in the least alarmed over the increasing number of Negroes who vote each year, but on the contrary, in many communities, white citizens who desire to build up the commercial and educational prestige of the South are encouraging the industrial, thrifty, intelligent Negro to pay his poll tax and qualify as an elector. When I discussed with any southern Negro his denied participation in political invariably he met the reference to it with the undeniable statement that the Northern Negro—even the bellicose variety, is howing as humbly to exclusion from offices in the North as ever did the Southern Negro; that even in the face of the fact that he has the untrammeled right to suffrage, it is now almost as easy for a camel to go through the eye of a needle as for a Negro in any Northern State to be elected to office; that even appointments to office, in the North, are becoming more rare each year, and he will even refresh you with the distressing fact that not a single Northern Negro has been sent as a delegate, in the last twelve years The National Religious Training School, Durham, N.C. Offers superior advantages for the training of young men and women in many departments of work. 4. Literary Department. 5. Department of Music. The following Departments are in successful operation: 1. Department of Religious Training. This department is intended especially for the training of Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. Secretaries.

When you refer to his docile acceptance of discrimination and segregation, the Southern Negro quickly responds with: "But there is scarcely a hostelry, cafe, theatre or any other public place of amusement in the North where the Northern Negro may be accommodated without discrimination; that in Washington Negroes accepted segregation in the government service quite docilely; that they have heard of none possessing such an over-plus of "manhood" as to resign rather than accept segregation—not even among those "free born," stridulous voiced protestors." Then they, the Southern Negroes, will point to their twenty million acres of cultivated lands: their banks, their prosperous insurance companies, their successful professional men and their twenty thousand business establishments and say: "Finding the political avenue closed to us for the time, we did not sit down, hold our hands and whine, but we took the two other avenues, to SUCCESS—Business and Professional, anticipating that, some day, the first-named avenue will be reopened up to us for the reason that we lined the other two avenues with temples of achievements. And when, that day arrives we will be far better prepared to shoulder the expenses and responsibilities that go with political prominence." The Southern Negro, seemingly, is not near so concerned, at present, about political equality as he is about closing up the wide commercial gap between him and the white man; he is not, at present, so much concerned about his right to vote as he is about making opportunities for substantial material development. Further, I found that the Southern Negro is really puzzled as to why the Northern Negro is so beligerent over the denial of political rights in the South while his (the Northern Negro) political prestige is rapidly becoming a dream of yesterday and a nightmare of today. In short, I found that the Southern Negro is not inviting the Northern Negro's assistance to solve his problem, believing that he himself being on the ground, is best prepared to solve it. I am not approving the Southern Negro's antipathy to Northern Negro interference with his plans, and I am not passing judgment upon the Southern Negro's seeming apathy to political rights and representation. I am simply stating a concrete fact—badly giving my Southern observations. On this trip I learned for myself, learned from contact with actual cases—hundreds of actual cases, that the best white men in the South, as Dr. Washington has frequently told the North, are helpful to the Negro; that white banks, in the South, cheerfully extend industrious Negroes a lipe of credit it is impossible to get in the North; that in many places white men and women patronize Negro merchants in the South as freely as whites patronize whites in the North; that Negro skilled labor is in demand in the South, while it goes begging in the North. The Northern Negro who, from a safety point of vantage, beligerently advises the Southern Negro to achieve equal rights and privileges through force ought to be impressed with the fact that the Southern Negro is firm in his belief that revolution, even when of slow growth, is a sort of spontaneous combustion which leaves wrecked hopes and ambitions in its wake, while evolution propigates no rancorous retardance for the future. If any one doubts the biblical statement that "Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hand" he has only to make an investigating tour of the South as I have done, learn for himself, and be convinced. There is absolutely nothing in which the Northern Negro excels his brother in the South unless it is in inaction. And I am a Northern born and reared Negro who makes this statement. Why Not? In every case where a railroad has given or is giving people good service, it will be best to mention this fact to the officials and thank them for it, at the same time calling attention to other directions in which improvements are desired.

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 getts that cause all the trouble. It promotes the circulation of blood on the scalp, cultivates the roots and produces a new growth of long, luxurious, soft and glossy hair. Korez.-Madam G. A. Ceruti, the world's renowned Hair Cultist, Demonstrator and Authority on Human Hair, was awarded the Bronze Medal at the Jamestown Exposition, 1907, for skill in hair work. Republican party of West Virginia placed itself squarely on record as opposed to the disfranchisement of the Negro, and favoring the enforcement of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments of the United States Constitution, and the reduction of the South's representation in Congress, at the State Republican Convention, held May 20th, in this city, to ratify the recommendations of the Republican National Committee. The convention was held in the State Armory and was one of the largest conventions of any party to ever meet in this State. Delegates and members of the party were here from every section of the State, and the keenest interest was manifested in the proceedings as the future of the Republican party was to be largely determined by the action of this convention. Much apprehension existed among the leaders as to the attitude of the colored leaders and delegates in relation to the ratification of the actions of the Republican National Committee, and it was well founded, as the colored leaders had determined to contest every inch of the ground and to defeat ratification unless the recommendations of the National Committee were so amended as to clearly place the Republican party on record as to the disfranchisement of the Negro in the South and the reduction of Southern representation in Congress. A conference was held in the sick room of Attorney T. G. Nutter, who was looked to to lead the fight for the colored delegates on the floor of the convention, by L. O. Wilson, grand chancellor of the Knights of Pythias of West Virginia, W. W. Saunders, State Librarian, Attorney E. J. Graham, of Wheeling and T. G. Nutter, of this city, and as a result of that conference the following resolution was prepared by Mr. Nutter to be offered as an amendment to the resolutions ratifying the action of the Republican National Committee: "The adoption of the recommendations of the Republican National Committee by the Republican party of West Virginia in convention assembled, is not to be construed as an endorsement of the election laws of the Southern States, unjustly disfranchising thousands of American citizens, who, in law and in equity, are entitled to express their choice at A Ceruti, 105 N.

I have used Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills for ten years and will always tell of their benefit to others." Rev. R. M. Bentley, Lecturer, Shelbyville, Ind.

The resolution was presented at the meeting of the State Committee by Grand Chancellor L. O. Wilson, who was selected to lead the fight in the place of Mr. Nutter, Dr. R. L. Jones refusing to permit Mr. Nutter to attend the convention. The State Committee accepted the resolution with applause and recommended it to the State Convention, and it was passed by the convention unanimously after a brilliant speech by L. O. Wilson, who demanded that the party go on record in no unmistakable terms. There was not an objection to the resolution, which was also made one of the planks in the platform adopted by the convention. Hon Phil Waters added much to his brilliant record as reading clerk of the convention. Mr. Waters is considered one of the best informed men in the State on party procedure, and the convention would hear no other clerk except Waters.

"The Kingdom of God is in your midst."— Ferre 22. THE Pharisees heard of the claim that Jesus was the long- promised King, and they derided Him. They considered Jesus a deceiver and His followers dupes. Our lesson tells how they attempted to expose what they supposed was a deception. They publicly asked Him, when will God's Kingdom Come? Jesus answered that God's Kingdom would not come with observation. That is to say, when it comes people will not see it; for it will be God's Power exerted everywhere. Had the translators noticed carefully, they would have guarded against saying that God's Kingdom was within those whom Jesus had designed hypocrites whited sepulchres, te. A closer examination shows that the text would better be translated, "The Kingdom of God is in our midst." Kingdom was within those whom Jesus had designated hypocrites, whited sepulchres, to. A closer examination shows that the text would better be translated, "The Kingdom of God is in your midst." A kingdom is allotted Jesus. Harmon received Pharisees: Questioning Jesus. Jesus, King was present, but they did not recognize Him. Similarly, throughout the Gospel Axe, His Church has been undiscerned by the world. "The world knoweth us not, even as it knew Him not." Christ and the Church in the flesh have been only the Kingdom class preparing for investiture of authority in God's due time. "Days of the Son of Man." Turning to His disciples, Jesus said, "The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and ye shall not see it. And when they shall say unto you, See here; or, see there; go not after them, nor follow them. For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so also shall the Son of Man be in His Day." This is better understood when we translate the Greek word *astrape* as shining, instead of lightning. Evidently our Lord referred to the sun The Day of Christ is the Millennium, and His statement was one of His "dark sayings," respecting which He promised that in due time the Holy Spirit would grant enlightenment. This portion is now becoming clear. Then, to indicate that these things belonged to a distant time, Jesus explained that first He must suffer many things and be rejected of that nation Coming back to the signs of His presence, He declared, "As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of Man." Here we have something definite. At the time for the establishment of the Kingdom, everything will go along quietly and orderly, just as before the Deluge and the destruction of Sodom. Then mankind ate, drank, married, built, planted, as usual. These things are mentioned merely to indicate that the world will have no outward sign of Christ's Second Presence. The Deluge and Sodom's Destruction. Everywhere the Bible foretells that Messiah's Kingdom is to be established upon the wreck of our present in situations. It is this wreck that Jesus illustrated by the Deluge and Sodom's destruction. His own presence is to be unknown to the world until the trouble is precipitated. The Time of Trouble is frequently described as a burning of the world, and all the creeds of Christendom express the thought that the earth is to be burned. They overlook the fact that the "heavens" are to be burned. In the symbolical language of the Bible, the earth represents the social order; the sea, the restless, discontented masses; and the heavens, the ecclesiastical powers. St. Peter declares that these will pass away with great conflusion, and that instead will come new heavens and earth. (2 Peter 3:10-13) The new heavens will be the Church in glory; the new earth, the social order under Messiah's Kingdom. Saints on the Housetop.

At that time such will realize the necessity for flight, and are warned not to seek to save any of the stuff—social privileges, honor of men, small offices—deacon, elder, etc. In the flight from Sodom, Lot and his family were warned to hasten, and not even to look back. So the Lord's people now are to "free out of Babylon." Lot's wife, disobeying, failed to escape. The Lord applies this illustration to His people and urges that their flight be with a full renunciation of the things of the present. Whoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it. Whoever will lose his life will thereby preserve it—gaining the life everlasting. AFTER RIVER PIRATES. Posso Organized to Exterminate the Wholesale Freebooters. Martinez, Cal.—River pirates, whose depredations in the Carquinez straits and the tide lands of the San Joaquin valley have caused farmers a loss of many thousands of dollars, are to be exterminated, it was learned here. With the co-operation of the federal authorities Sheriff R. R. Velea of Contra Costa county has organized a picked posse to wage war on the inland freebooters. The chief source of revenue of the pirates is the merchandise produce plied along river levees awaiting shipment. The method of the gangs is to moor a scow at night in midchannel and row to the wharves, from which the produce is removed and brought to the bay cities and sold. The delta section has been a rich field for the gangs. CASPIAN SEA SINKING. Steamship In Many Places Unable to Reach Landing Stages. St. Petersburg.-The scientific world in Russia has for some time been occupied with a curious natural phenomenon. The surface of the Caspian has since June, 1910, been continually sinking and is now beginning to be inconvenient for navigation, as steamers in many places cannot reach the landing stages. Professor Shoralski, commissed by the government to study the subject, has ascertained that the amount of water contributed by the rivers flowing into the Caspian, especially by the Volga, has considerably diminished. It is therefore quite possible that the river water flowing into the sea is not sufficient to make good the loss caused by evaporation. DOG FIGHTS FIVE MULES. Result Is Four Dumb Patients For the Veterinary Hospital. Clinton, Ind.—A bulldog attacked five mules in the barn lot near here. The dog took them one at a time, leaping at their throats. Repeatedly the mules shook off the dog, and twice they kicked him. One mule picked the dog up by the skin of the back and shook him. When thrown to the ground the dog caught another mule and held to its throat until it went to its knees. The men who saw the combat say that another mule then pawed the dog so fiercely that it lay unconscious till carried from the lot. The dog and three of the mules are now at a veterinary hospital. TO ASK CITIZENSHIP FOR THE JAPANESE Baltimore--Dr. Shouke Sato, who has been studying the Japanese question in California at the direction of the emperor of Japan, said here that he would report to his sovereign that the only way the California land problem could be settled would be for the United States to grant citizenship to the Japanese now holding land in that state. He also said he would recommend that no more Japanese immigration be allowed. "I have made a careful study of the California situation," said Dr. Sato. "and in my report to my government I will state that, in my opinion, there is but one way to settle the differences between the United States and Japan over the California question, and that is by granting citizenship to the Japanese now holding land in California. When this is done Japan will have no further trouble with the United States. There are at present about 100,000 Japanese in the United States, and over half that number are qualified to become citizens of this country. "I will also recommend that no more immigrants come to this country. The matter can very easily be arranged by making an agreement or new treaty between the countries. "Japan will show her friendship for the United States by not pressing the California matter until the Mexican question is settled. The Japanese government is of the opinion that the California question is a matter entirely within the jurisdiction of the federal government and should be settled in Washington. "The Japanese in California are now in a very bad way, and the people of California do not care what becomes of them. By giving them citizenship and a vote the tension would be relieved. Japan has nothing to gain by going to war with the United States, and I personally do not think that a conflict between the nations will "As to Mexico, there are a number of Japanese who have gone to that country to engage in agricultural pursuits, but in my opinion it would be better for them to go to Brazil or some other country in South America. There is one thing certain—Japan will not meddle in the Mexican muddle." This Ox Was a Whopper. Hillsdale, Mich.-About the largest hide ever received at the local tannery has just been dressed. It was that of a white ox and was received from Lake View, Mich. The hide measures eighteen feet from the nose to the tip of the tail and twelve feet across. When green the hide weighed 163 pounds and when dressed twenty-five. IDAHO'S MINE PROFITS BIG. Bixteen Concerns In One County Netted $4,776,775 In the Aggregate. Wallace, Ida. -Net profits reports on sixteen-producing mines in Shoshmount county filed with the assessor for asessment purposes for the present year based on the operations of the year 1913 show a total net profit of mines of $4,776,775 as against net profits of $3,589,501 for the preceding year, or an increase of $1,187,274 in the face of an adverse lead market which, during the year, has gradually fallen approximately $1.40 per hundred pounds. The gross output of the sixteen big producers for 1913 amounted to 2,039,030 tons, an increase of 150,786 tons over the preceding year, while the gross value amounted to $17,670,083, an increase of $2,291,020. The cost of extraction amounted to $6,558,784 as against $5,926,374 for the year 1912; transportation and smelter charges amounted to $5,767,412 as against $5,059,612 for the preceding year, and improvements and betterments decreased from $908,785 to $635,376. The most remarkable showing made by any single producer is that of a mine which this year jumps into first place, eclipsing the Bunker Hill by $144,914 in net profits. Still another remarkable showing is that of a mine which this year displaces the Stewart for third place in the producing list with net profits of $338,140; the Stewart ranks fourth with $601,432 as against $395,341 last year. The Morning Mine at Mullan holds its position at fifth place, with a decrease of $19,632 in its net profits, while the Hecla drops from fourth last year to sixth this year. GOOD TO JACK'S GIRL. Daniels Allows Sailors on Shore Leave to Stay Away Later. Washington.—Secretary Daniels demonstrated again his friendship for Cupid by letting it be known that he purposes to extend the shore leave of sailors when their ships are in port. Incidentally Secretary Daniels expects thereby to decrease the number of technical desertions. Under present regulations, when a sailor gets shore leave, he must return to his ship by 11 o'clock, when the last boat to the ship leaves shore. There have been many desertions because of failures to catch the last boat, and Secretary Daniels has issued an order providing that there shall be a 12 o'clock and a 1 o'clock boat between shore and ship. "It is quite unfair," said Secretary Daniels, "to expect that a sailor can take his girl to a theater, have a little supper afterward and get back in time for the last boat at 11 o'clock. I have ordered that the last boat between shore and ship leave at 1 o'clock. I understand that navy desertions have been due to sailors missing the 11 o'clock boat, because they have feared the results." Sitka, Alaska.-Scarring a broad line across 600 miles of wilderness in the far north in order that the possessions of the United States and Canada may have a distinct separation at every point will be completed during the coming open season. The work has been in progress since 1907, under the direction of Thomas Riggs, Jr., civil engineer, representing the United States Alaskan boundary commission, and T. D. Craig, representing a similar commission of Canada. Although the United States and Canada have been neighbors in the far north for almost half a century, the exact dividing line between their possessions, especially as to the northern portion, was, previous to this survey, indefinite and conflicting. Many disputes arising, the two governments decided finally, through their commissions, that an absolute survey, clearly established and marked for all time, should be made along the one hundred and forty-first meridian, from the Mount St. Ellas Alps, on the Pacific, to the Arctic ocean, a distance of approximately 600 miles. The United States surveying party consisted of from sixty to eighty men each season since the work was undertaken. Chief Engineer Riggs, himself a young college man, selected his aids from the hardest classes—cowboys, forest rangers, prospectors, timber cruisers and frontiersmen, with a liberal sprinkling of engineers. New expeditions were organized each spring, although many of the men who started at the beginning have remained in the service up to now. It was the custom, too, to leave a few men in the north each winter to care for equipment and supplies. The actual visible result of the six or seven years of efforts is a twenty foot vist, cut, like a gigantic avenue or lane, through all timber and brush districts, together with monuments set at intervisible points from three to four miles apart. Holds to Ledge Twenty Minutes. South Bend, Ind.-After hanging from the ledge of a clistern twenty minutes, with the water to his neck. Christian Lipp, aged seventy, was rescued by relatives. He is not expected to survive. BUTTERFLY FARM OWNED BY GIRL Catching the Butterflies and Moths Only a Small Part of the Work, as Real Difficulty Is Experienced In Raising Them—Interesting as Well as Profitable Duty. Truckee, Cal.—A California girl with the astonishing name of Ximena McGlashan has the distinction of being the first professional "butterfly farmer" in this country. She began the work by mere chance, but she has made a success of it by dint of hard work and attention to scientific detail. It sounds very pretty to be called, as Miss McGlashan frequently is, "the butterfly princess." But this particular princess is a mighty industrious one. In the spring and summer she is often busy from daylight until after 10 o'clock at night. This little fact is worth mentioning, as Miss Mc Glashan has received hundreds of letters from women and girls who apparently want to found a whole dynasty of butterfly princesses. They have heard that this young girl, without capital or previous experience, is making $50 a week out of butterflies and moths. That sounds pretty good to them. But their enthusiasm may suffer a relapse when they read the whole story. She started her "farm" near here a year and a half ago. She was planning then to be a teacher, and when one day she saw her father showing his little grandchild how to capture a butterfly it occurred to her that the knowledge might come in handy in her own career as an instructor of school children. Her father readily consented to show how the trick was done and casually hinted that she could make more money out of butterflies than in pedagogy. He "sugared" some trees for her, fixed her up a lantern and some cyanide in jars, showed her how to catch moths at night by placing the mouth of the jar over the unwary feaster on the sugar, and without more ado she was launched on her career. Inside of two weeks she shipped 1,500 moths and butterflies and received $75 in return. In ten weeks she sold over 10,000 specimens at a flat price of 5 cents apiece and had over $500 in return. In addition, she had on hand about 20,000 eggs, larvae and pupae, which would hatch out in due season. These really constituted her farm and are the important end of the business; Catching the butterflies and moths is only a small part of the work. The real job is raising them. Only perfect specimens are saleable, and it is a ticklish undertaking to capture these fragile creatures without injuring them. Many of them are already a trifle damaged. They may have lost an antenna or a piece of a wing. The first thing this young entomologist does with her captured specimens, therefore, is to sort them over carefully. She liberates the males that are not perfect so that they may go out and propagate more of their species. The imperfect female specimens she puts in paper bags, one to each bag, so that she will have their eggs to add to her stock. This is where the real work begins. In each bag she puts food for the occupant. Butterflies will not deposit their eggs unless confined in a gauze bag or its equivalent and supplied with their particular food. Every day Miss McGlashan feeds her butterflies with dried apples soaked in water containing a little honey or sugar. With this treatment she persuades them to lay their eggs on the inside of the bag. Some of them deposit as many as 200 or 300 eggs. When they have finished they die. The eggs hatch in varying periods, some in a few days, others only after the lapse of months. Miss McGlashan has them in test tubes where she can keep track of their development. During the winter she puts the tubes in cold storage to prevent the eggs hatching before the proper food plants are ready. When the eggs come cut she has another period of feeding before her. She catches to the tastes of these little worms as carefully as if she were a high salaried chef supplying a cuisinier for a lot of epicures. She experiments with all kinds of leaves till she finds what seems most tempting to the appetites of her charges. Some of these she keeps in candy jars. If she has many hundreds of one kind she places them in a tight barrel, covering the open head with gauze. In the bottom of each jar or barrel she puts several inches of dirt or leaf mold, as the larvae like to hide in it in the daytime. Fresh leaves must be put in every day, the old food taken out and the receptacle kept clean. When the perfect moths and butterflies finally emerge from the pupae they are ready for shipment, and prices are good. Sell Eggs by the Bushel. Columbus, Ind.-Eggs are so plentiful in Jackson county that they are being sold there by the bushel. When a buckster called at the home of John Manlon, a farmer in that county, the farmer sold him two bushel Locks a full of eggs at $6 each. SHACKLETON TO TEST POLAR FOOD Unique Experiment Seeking Light Rations. EXPLORE NORWAY GLACIERS Food Consumed In A Day by Explorer Weighs but Thirty-five Ounces and Has Highest Nutritive Value—Ship For South Pole Expedition Is Almost Complete. London.—With the thoroughness which has always characterized his work Sir Ernest Shackleton is about to make a preliminary trial expedition under arctic conditions in the glaciers of Norway. This will be for the special purpose of testing the rations for his trip across the antarctic continent, which he hopes to make in four and a half months. No party ever started out without having food depots to make such a distance as that in a straight line, but Sir Ernest and his men have made special preparations for the attempt. They have with the aid of the royal army medical corps evolved the "perfect ration." It will average only thir- PETER H. BURKE Photo by American Press Association. SIR ERNEST SHACKLETON. ty-five ounces daily as compared with the three pounds or more consumed by the average man, but it is believed it represents the highest nutritive value for polar travel. Sir Ernest will be accompanied by five members of his staff when he goes to Norway to conduct experiments with these rations and also test his tents and motor sledges. The party will don polar kit and travel among the glaciers. While the cold will not be as intense as in the polar regions, the country will furnish the same sort of sudden blizzards as are experienced in the antarctic. The party will test the effect and potency of the rations in most detailed fashion. Such an experiment, never has been made before. Shackleton's new ship, the Endurance, has been almost completely fitted in Norway. The vessel is eighteen feet longer than his last ship, Nimrod, and is a beautiful specimen of wooden shipbuilding. It probably is the last of its class that will be constructed. The whole keel is made of solid oak five and a half feet thick, and the sides are two feet thick. The vessel belongs to the barkentine class and has the latest triple expansion engines and will steam at the rate of ten knots. The ship is fitted to consume both oil and coal. When in the ice oil will be substituted for coal, which will mean economy if it is delayed in the pack, as the boilers can be kept warm and full heat generated quickly. When the oil has been used the tanks will be filled with water ballast. The Endurance will take on 100 tons of coal brigtees at the South Shetland islands, so it will enter the Weddell sea with full bunkers. The second ship, Aurora, intended for the Ross sea side of the expedition, has been purchased and will be delivered at Hobart, Tasmania, at the end of August. The Endurance, which is to operate on the opposite side of the antarctic, will leave England early in August for Buenos Aires, when it finally will start for the antarctic base in October. Most of the members of the expedition will leave England in the Endurance, but Sir Ernest Shackleton will travel later by mail steamer and join his ship at Buenos Aires. The dogs, which constitute an important factor in the expedition, are a cross between a wolf and a Scotch stag hound and have been bred in northern Canada. The lightest of them will turn the scales at eighty pounds. Couple Married by Mail. Superior, Wls. — Johannes Jacobus Kuyk after preliminaries which lasted several months is now a married man. His bride was Miss Maria Louise Grotendorst of Holland. They were married by mail. The bride is expected to arrive from Holland in the early summer. Final papers uniting the couple have arrived from Holland. A number of officials took part in the ceremony. HE CALLS IT. FISHING. Drains a Ditch and Catches Trout With His Hands. San Francisco.-W. H. Davenport, returning to his home here, tells this story: "I was back in Nevada recently, and a friend of mine who owns what he calls 'just a little ranch' of 9,000 acres asked me if I would like to fish for mountain trout. I said I would; it's my favorite sport. "Come on," said he, and he took me to a stream across which he has built a dam for the purpose of irrigating his alfalfa. "Instead of producing fish poles he suddenly turned on the water and let it run full force through the irrigating ditches for just a half minute. Then he turned it off, and, beckoning to me, led me to the irrigating ditch. "By this time the water which he had let in had run out into the fields, and on the bottom of the ditch were about a hundred mountain trout left high and dry and flapping about at a great rate. "My friend gathered about twenty into a basket and threw the rest back alive into the stream. We had the ones he caught for supper, and they were delicious." NAME LAKES AFTER WOMEN. Mrs. Walsh Would So Honor Distinguished Ladies of Today. Mrs. Thomas J. Walsh, wife of Senator Walsh of Montana, is heading an active campaign to honor distinguished American women by giving their names to lakes and other beauty spots within Uncle Sam's great national parks. Women's clubs will be appealed to to further the movement. Mrs. Walsh found inspiration for the movement through the recent courtesy of Mr. Lane, the secretary of the interior, in naming one of the most beautiful lakes in the Glacier National park in Montana Lake Ellen Wilson after Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, wife of the president. In Glacier park alone there are several hundreds of these beautiful mountain locked lakes fed by glacier water. Only a few of them have names at present, and Mrs. Walsh wants to see them named for famous American women. She believes that the men of the nation will gladly acquiesce in the proposal. ARISTOCRACY EVEN AMONG THE TRAMPS the "Bum." St. Louis.—Superintendent George M. Arendes, after four months' experience as keeper of the municipal lodging house, declares there is an artistry among the impeccable leisure class as well defined as that among the remainder of society in the United States. "A lodging house in St. Louis is a necessity and is helpful to the unfortunate who are temporarily unemployed and to the true hobo," said Arendes to a reporter, "but there is a vast difference between this class of men and those who are' labeled 'tramps,' 'bums' and 'stiffs' by the hoobes themselves. To these members of the lower castes we should not extend the same aid, if any, in my opinion, because they do nothing to deserve it and do not profit by it. "A real hobo," said Arendes, "is one who has no fixed place of residence and travels about more or less almessly, by the roads as a rule, accepting employment whenever he needs money badly or an attractive job is located. "The members of the leisure class, ranking just below the hobo, are called 'tramps' by the hoboes," continued Arendes. "Tramps are men who have not worked for years and have no present intention of ever engaging in profitable labor. They keep to the road, except in severe weather, when they are forced to the cities. They carry with them a complete equipment for their simple needs, such as a razor, soap, towels, changes in clothing and when on the road sometimes carry a blanket and cooking utensils." "A 'bum,' in hobo parlance, is a barrel housely, who sticks to the cities and begs on the streets for funds. They are a surly lot as a rule, and the real hobo will not associate with them except in cases of necessity. They pay no attention to personal cleanliness, as the tramp and hobo do. They are unwilling to work under any conditions and frequently develop into highwaymen, burglar and pickpockets, but not of sufficient class to have standing with the professionals in this line. I have learned." LONG SEARCH FOR LOSER. Man Still Seeks Owner of Purse Found Fifteen Years Ago. Richmond, Ind.-James Garrett, seventy years old, a farmer of Newgarden township, was in Richmond recently to ask newspapers to assist him in finding the owner of a hand bag and purse he found at the Richmond fair ground fifteen years ago. Garrett explained that he had advertised his find at the time and many times since without avail. The purse contained a small sum of money. "I'm getting pretty old now," said Garrett. "and I want to try once more to find the woman who lost the purse and money. I hope to restore it to her before I die." Thomas Walker, Attorney.

G. Semple and his son-in-law, Lewis Horton, were laid side by side at the family residence, 2455 P Street Northwest, this week. Their funerals took place Friday afternoon from Shilo Baptist Church, L Street Northwest, and were largely attended. Mr. Horton arrived here a few days ago from New York very ill and went under an operation, but on account of his weakened condition he succumbed. Monday evening his father-in-law, Mr. James G. Semple, who was in his 89th year and blind, on hearing of his death was overcome by the shock and died suddenly Tuesday morning. The exercises were very solemn and impressive. Mr. Semple was the senior deacon of Shilo Church. Mr. Horton was a member of the Banncker Relief Association, which was in attendance. Rev. J. M. Waldron officiated, assisted by Rev. Wm. J. Howard and Rev. E. E.Ricks. Many floral offerings were presented. Interment at Mt. Zion Cemetery. James Bird conducted the funeral obsequies. The Alexander Memorial Baptist Church on N Street Northwest was sold last week and was purchased for $12,000 by a real estate firm, who, it is said, will allow the congregation to re-purchase within a reasonable time. Rev. Carroll and his members are struggling hard to redeem the property. The men's meeting, as announced for Sunday evening at Mt. Zion M. E. Church, has been postponed for a future date. The return of Rev. Nailor, pastor of Ebenezer A. M. E. Church, has awakened renewed interest in the membership and a very successful rally was held on Sunday last. Rev. Dr. Seaton, who was to have preached, was unavoidably absent and will be announced at a later date. Mr. Willis H. Semple, of Wellington, Ohio, is here for a week on account of the death of his father, Mr. James G. Semple. Mrs. Dora Layton Washington has left for several months, going to Blue Ridge Summit, Franklin County, Pennsylvania, and the South. Social Workers at the Atlanta Conference In attendance at the recent Student Christian Conference called by Mr. John R. Moat at Atlanta, Georgia, was Miss Mary Cromwell: one of the teachers in the M Street High School. Miss Cromwell was specially invited to be present because of her great work and experience in social service in the slums of Washington. While at the conference she held group meetings with a large number of students who are preparing to become social workers. Bought the Liberty Baptist Property, C. M. E.
