A GREAT CHURCH Making Progress—Membership Increases Every Month—Increases Financially—Langhorn and Jabez Lee Doing Good Work—Dr. Taylor the Man of the Hour. Just one year, ten months and twenty-nine days ago to-day there sprang into existence in James H. Winslow's Hall under the supervision of Dr. W. Bishop Johnson an organization which was named the Florida Avenue Baptist Church. Its first membership was twenty-two persons who obtained their letters from the church made famous by the late Dr. George W. Lee, D. D., LL.D., for the purpose of launching another church M. MR. JAMES LANGHORN Chairman of the Deacon Board. to perpetuate the memory of Dr. Lee, and to better carry out and put into permanent operation his ideas of Baptist Church government. This little church headed itself toward its present beautiful building, which was occupied by a white Presbyterian congregation. In the meantime its membership increased phenomenally until by the time the people of the JABEZ LEE, ESQ, Chairman of the Trustee Board. church were ready to move into their present quarters, December 22, 1912, it had grown to more than four hundred. It continued to increase financially and numerically under James Langhorn and Jabez Lee, and its other efficient officers and members until June 1, 1913, when Dr. W. A. Taylor took charge of the church formally as its first pastor. At this point there were six hundred members and the first year's note had Continued to page 5.

London, June 14. —Pastor Russell is here, and in the Princess Theater today presented his famous Photo- Drama of Creation. It received a royal welcome. This was the opening exhibition of a program on this side of the Atlantic which includes the principal cities London, June 14. —Pastor Russell is here, and in the Princess Theater today presented his famous Photo- Drama of Creation. It received a royal welcome. This was the opening exhibition of a program on this side of the Atlantic which includes the principal cities of both Great Britain and the Continent. Pastor Russell in his discourse chose that feature of his Creation Drama which relates to "The Great Teacher and His School." His text was: "Learn of me, for I am meek and lowly of heart."—Matthew 11:29. The Pastor began his discourse with the statement that there is only one way by which to get rid of one's sins—belief in the Lord Jesus Christ. But mere intellectual belief, he declared, does not accomplish this result. The Bible says that devils believe, and tremble. They are not justified by their believing. Neither are we justified by merely believing. We must do something more. The believer who acts on his belief, and who shows that he really means what he says, will make a full consecration of himself to God. From the standpoint of the Scriptures a believer is a disciple, a follower, a pupil. The Pastor went on to demonstrate that the School of Christ is not open to everybody. The whole world of mankind are not in the School of Christ, with some taking more lessons and others fewer. There is one definite way of entering this School and becoming a pupil of the great Master Teacher. Hear the terms in His own words: "If any man will come after Me [become My discipline—pupil], let him deny himself, take up his cross and follow Me." Only those who present their bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God through the merit of the Redeemer Imputed to them and received by faith, are enrolled in the School of Christ. In other words, only the members of the Church which is the Body of Christ are in His School, being taught of God through His Word. Addressing the Church, St. Paul says, "We are His workmanship." God has been working in the Church by His providences and by His Word of Truth, working in us by our experiences, which He has made for us, and by the opportunities which He gives us. All these things are designed by the Lord to bless us and to develop us into His own character-likeness, that, as the Master has said, we may be like unto our Father in Heaven—that we may be holy, even as He is holy—that our intentions, our alus and our desires may be exactly like those of God. The Primary Lesson. The Pastor reminded his audience that when a child enters school for the first time, he has merely put himself into the hands of his teacher for instruction. It requires years of patient training and study before he can be said to have an education, and still more instruction before he can become a teacher himself. This, he said, is exactly the picture which God gives us in respect to the Church. During this Gospel Age He has invited the Church class to enter the School of Christ and prepare for the great work of human unplift during the incoming Age. The Royal Priesthood will all be teachers. Under the Jewish arrangement the priests were all teachers, instructors of the people, helping them in every way in respect to morals. The Royal Priests will also have authority to rule the world for its good. None but those whom God can entrust with this great power will be qualified to use it to uplift the world. The Pastor then explained that those enrolled in the School of Christ are taught a great variety of lessons. The first of these is meekness—teachability. None will be qualified for the great work of the future who has not been thoroughly taught this valuable lesson. He declared that there is probably a greater lack along the line of teachability than along any other line. Self-conceit and self-will are qualities which prevent their possessors from being teachable—meek. Those who are good pupils in the School of Christ will bear the Master's voice instructing them: that of themselves they are notung and can do nothing; that they need His assistance all along the way; that they need first of all to be taught of God—through the great Teacher whom the Eather has appointed to give them instruction. Through the prophecies and through His Word He teaches all who are in His School. The voice of Jesus comes to all His pupils, speaking to them through the Scriptures and the various experiences of life. Those consecrated children of God who have not learned the lesson of meekness have not learned even the primary lesson. Whoever says, "Lord, I want my own way; this is what I prefer and what I intend to have," is certainly not teachable, and cannot make progress in spiritual things. The Lord will not force such to do His way; during this Age He is not seeking those who must be forced to do His will. He will use force on those who need it during the next Age. Throughout the Gospel Age the call has been for those who declare in their covenant that they desire to do the will of God, and who will sacrifice their lives in order to do that will. After they have made this contract with Him, and He has accepted them and sealed the contract by giving them the earnest of the Holy Spirit, they cannot repudiate their agreement. They must either go on to everlasting life or perish in the Second Death. Other Lessons to Be Learned. The Pastor dwelt for some time upon the subject of meekness. Some people, he declared, find this a difficult lesson to learn. But things are pretty well balanced. The man who is naturally very meek and teachable usually has disadvantages in other ways. People will impose upon him; for they are apt to impose upon the meek, as we all know. The man with a great deal of self-esteem and only a little meekness will get along better by himself, but will have his difficulty in coming under the hand of the Lord. The speaker reminded his hearers that they can not alter the shape of their heads. Those who were born with a proud spirit have so much more to battle against. Those who were born with a humble mind will have difficulties along other lines, but will find it easier to learn meekness than will the proud spirited. But since the Lord puts meekness first, no one will make progress in the School of Christ until he has learned to be meek; for meekness signifies teachableness. The Pastor then went on to the other subjects taught in this unique School Next in order come humility, gentleness, patience, long-suffering and brotherly-kindness. Gentleness is very important. Whoever is rude and boisterous will not be ready to learn, and therefore will not be in a proper condition to be used of the Lord until he has learned brotherly-kindness, until he can be kind to all the brethren and love them all. He must be gentle toward all so as not to offend or hurt them or stumble them. Whoever is gentle will always desire to be assistful to the brethren; this is characteristic of the Spirit of the Lord. Whoever is devoid of these qualities which go to make up Love must acquire them if he would be graduated from the School of Christ. Then, lest any one should be discouraged, the Pastor explained that the flesh of some who are really overcomers may never become as gentle as that of others who naturally possess this desirable quality, but that they must have this quality in the mind or will; for the Lord will judge them by their desires, their endeavors, their efforts. Whoever will be of the Kingdom class must be meek and gentle, no matter what he may be according to the flesh. How These Lessons Are Learned. HOW THESE LESSONS ARE LEARNED. The Pastor illustrated the methods by which the Master teaches His pupils to acquire these essential graces of the Holy Spirit. If a disciple of Jesus do something wrong, the Master expects him to be meek enough to go to the person injured and acknowledge that he is wrong. This discipline will be good for the unruly pupil, and will help him to be more meek the next time he is tempted. If a follower of the Lord has been rude in some respects, he should offer suitable apologies. This will teach him to be more gentle in the future. So by their difficulties the pupils in the School of Christ learn the required lessons. If they cannot learn in one way, they must try another; for learn they must. Otherwise they will not be fit for the Kingdom; for these are qualities of heart and mind which the Lord demands from all who would be acceptable to Him. If the Lord find that the pupil's mind is meek, humble gentle, patient, kind and loving, He will make allowance for the faults of the body; and in the resurrection He will give that pupil a body which will carry out the intentions of the mind. The Pastor urged all who know themselves to be disciples of Jesus, pupils in the great Teacher's School, to keep their hearts right with God and then to do the very best that they can do. He advised such to see to it that the body gets the proper discipline. The new mind must keep the body under control. If it was rude to somebody, humble it, teach it to be meek by saying, "You must go and tell that person that you are sorry for what you have done." Of course, he declared, this will go "against the grain;" but it is better to yield and thus learn the needed lesson than to lose the Kingdom. All such self-discipline is part of the process of preparation for the Kingdom work. The standard of character-development which the Pastor upholds is very high. He declared that whoever would be graduated with honors from the School of Christ must be so meek, so humble, so teachable, so patient, that he will be ready to receive instruction from the Master in whatever way He may see fit to send it—whether through trials, difficulties, sickness etc., or through books, hymns, or in any other way. No matter how it comes, if it brings us "the light of the knowledge of the glory of God," if it scatters our darkness, ignorance, persistence, if it brings us out into His marvelous Light, we may be sure that God has done it for us, because we could not have done it for ourselves. Commencement Day Is Coming: Commencement Day Is Coming. The Pastor then showed that ultimately two classes will be graduated from the School of Christ. One class will Receive very high honors—glory immortality, joint-beliefship with our Lord Jesus Christ in His Millennial Kingdom. The other class will be servants of God and will serve Him by rendering assistance to the Kingdom class. Under another figure these classes are designated in Psalm 45 as "the King's daughter" and "the virgins, her companions, that follow her." The speaker next showed why there are to be these two classes and what has made the difference between them. The first class is constituted of those pupils that are so intent upon learning their lessons and of being graduated with honors that they not only study carefully their text book, the Word of God, but they watch the Lord's eye, as it were, bent upon seeing what is His will concerning them. To these He has given the precious promise, "I will guide them with Mine eye." Their reply is, "As the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a malden unto the hand of her mistress, so our eyes wait upon the Lord our God, until that He have mercy upon us."-Psalm 123:2. The thought is that this class are all attention to see what they can render to the Lord, watching to see what He wishes them to do. They do not wait until He disciplines them severely. This Little Flock class will be composed of such as can be guided by the will of the Lord, such as are so anxious to do His will, so alert, so willing, to do anything they can do at any time He may choose, as to be "instant in season, out of season," to themselves. Those who possess this spirit will be of the first class to be graduated from the School of Christ. The second class to be graduated will be very large in number, the Pastor said. It will consist of those pupils who are rather slow, and who busy themselves with unimportant things. In figurative language, they are inclined to play during study hours and to forget the rules. Yet they are neither bad nor unruly. They are well-intentioned pupils, but somehow they do not properly study their lessons. They are inclined to study a little, then play a little, then study a little more, etc. These pupils require to be "kept in" after school frequently, and occasionally need a little switching. But they finally finish their course and are graduated. Dropping the figure of the schoolroom, the Pastor discussed this, second class for a time. These, he declared; will not be on the Throne, as will the Little Flock class. Instead of wearing golden crowns, this Great Company will have palm branches in their hands; instead of receiving the Divine nature, they will be of a spirit nature like unto the angels. But their condition will be very blessed, for anything which the Master has to give will be good. This class, the speaker said, will be composed of very good people, well meaning people; but they are not up to the standard which the Lord desires for the Kingdom class. Whoever would be of the highest class should see to it that he reaches that standard. Those who will get the first place are those who catch the spirit of the Master and are loyal to Him and His cause, thus proving themselves to be worthy of His love. As He has said, "He that loveth father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he that taketh not his cross and followeth after Me, is not worthy of Me." After Commencement—What? The Pastor then declared that according to the Scriptures we are on the eve of a great change of dispensation, that the One who redeemed the world is about to take His great power and reign. Those pupils in the School of Christ who are most attentive to the Master's voice speaking through the Word of God are hearing wonderful things pertaining to God's Plan of salvation. Those who are obedient to what they hear are getting a clearer understanding in proportion to their obedience. Those who are inattentive and those who refuse to hear will not understand, but will surely suffer in the coming Time of Trouble—"such as never was since there was a nation" "no, nor ever shall be" as Jesus said. By way of conclusion, the Pastor exhorted all consecrated Christians to greater earnestness in striving to make their calling and election sure. He reminded such that they were not called merely to make a consecration, but to enter the School of Christ, to learn of the Master, to be taught by Him, in order to be developed in heart and mind and in every way qualified to be with the Lord and to share with Him in His glory, honor and immortality. To accomplish this result, they must receive chiseling and polishing-blow after blow, experience after experience, trial after trial. To all who are rightly exercised by this discipline the blessed result will be character-likeness to our dear Redeemer, who as a New Creature was also "perfected by the things which He suffered." With all such who are faithful to their Lord the experiences of life will develop meekness, gentleness, patience, longsuffering, brotherly-kindness and love. And thus, having finished their course in the School of Christ, there shall be minstered unto them an abundant entrance into the everlasting Kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. URGES NEGROES TO REMAIN IN SOUTH Booker Washington Tells Audiences That Best Friends Are Here. Montgomery, June 6. Preaching the gospel of "hard work and happiness," and urging the members of his race to think more of the wonderful advantages they possess and think less of their disadvantages, Booker T. Washington, president of the Tuskegee Institute, and the foremost member of his race in America, made four speeches in Montgomery county last week. Washington spoke under the auspices of the Negro Business and Development League of Montgomery and was greeted by large and enthusiastic crowds at Madison Park, LeGrand, Little Zion and Big Zion communities. "The South is the most wonderful place in the world for the negro," said the speaker. "No better place can be pictured for the hard working black man, and for the lazy black man it is, heaven indeed. There is no place where the Negro is enabled to get better food or wear better clothes than this great portion of a great nation." [Signature] Washington is an entertainer, aorator and a leader. He kept his crowd interested every moment and is a past master as a story-teller. Yet he never loses an opportunity to drive home a strong point or to give the black man a word of advice where such advice is needed. Best Country in World. "This is the best country in the world for the Negro," said he. "Any Negro in the world that is worth his salt can get a home in the South. A Negro that can't get a home in the South among his friends is worthless. Our people can always get work here. I wish some time that some of them would be unable to get any work for about six months. Then you would see them stick to a job when they get it. Here we don't seek work, but work seeks us- and some of us have to hustle to dodge it." Calling attention to the fine crops surrounding him on every side, the speaker told of what the Negro could do on the farm and of what things he should avoid. He declared that the farmers threw away much time and did not work. "You work about 100 days in the year and yet you are sometimes in debt and in reduced circumstances. If you go into Montgomery you will see that bankers work every day but Sunday; you will see that merchants work every day but Sunday; lawyers, doctors and others work every day in the year but Sunday. If they did like our people and only worked 100 days in the year they would be bankrupt in six weeks." "Layin' By Time." "I haven't much sympathy with this 'layin' by time' either," said the speaker. "What time do you 'lay by' out here?" "About July fourth," replied a voice. "And then you loaf around and don't work until away along in September, don't you? Well, if you work in July and August, your balance would be on, the right side in the fall. Then this Saturday business hurts you, too. Not a one of you will work all day Saturday for anything in the world. If one of you wants a bottle of soda water or a paper of pins he must hike off to town and spend all day Saturday. Every hour you lose on Saturday is an hour gone and you can't ever get it back again." He scored the practice of wasting time in town and told his hearers to stay out of courts. He declared that many persons will go to town and into courts to settle trivial affairs that their school teacher or preacher could settle for them in ten minutes. He said that the farmers "close up their farm" for half the year, when they could be raising something on it every week of the year. "You close up any other business for half the time and see where it will land," said the speaker. Urges Home Work. Advising his hearers to give the women more time to work at home, Washington said that the women could put up enough canned goods in the summer to last a family a whole winter. "The trouble with you men is that you want the women to work with you every day in the field and want the women with you every day in the year but one, and that is when you go to town to sell your cotton; then you leave the women at home." Referring to what education will do for the Negro, Washington said that it would give-him "common sense." "Whenever the Negro shows the white man that education won't make a fool out of him, then the white man will give him all the money he wants." He declared that the Negro's ideas of education are changing from what they used to be. In the old days he said that the Negro thought that he had to go around wearing a whole lot of "fool" clothes and to talk so that nobody understood him in order to let people know that he was educated. "This is changed now and the Negro knows that education means common sense," said the speaker. "The white man has been afraid to educate the Negro because he did not know what the Negro was going to do with it. All the Negro has to do is to show the white man in the right way and he will get all the assistance he wants." Always Smiling. "I love my people for one reason, because they smile," concluded Washington. "You can see them THE NEW YORK TIMES smiling under adversity and in prosperity. You can see a Negro in chains being led off to the penitentiary, but you will see him smile as he goes. This is a great asset and I advise you to smile all the more when things go against you. This is a great country and a great people. The best people in the world live in the South and it's the best place in the world for the Negro." At Madison Park the Washington party was entertained by Eli Madison, an aged Negro, who owns a large tract of land in that community and has aided in the building of a fine school for Negroes which his daughter, Carrie Madison, runs. The members of the Negro Business League of Montgomery met the Washington party at Tuskegee and piloted it over the county. Those who came down from Tuskegee and made the trip over the county were Booker T. Washington, J. R. Lee, A. F. Owen, president of Selma University; John Thomas, T. N. Campbell, J. R. Bridgeforth, R. R. Taylor, E. T. Atwell, E. J. Scott, A. R. Stewart, Warren Logan, C. Richardson, Booker T. Washington, Jr., C. J. Calloway and R. C. Simmons, members of the faculty of Tuskegee Institute. Prof. J. L. Sibley, state supervisor of rural schools, and H. R. Spangler, file clerk in the office of Governor O'Neal, were present at the speaking at Madison Park. HIT AT OUR WOMEN. A Dastardly Charge Not Borne Out by Facts or Conclusions. E. T. Florance of New Orleans Urges Law Similar to "Grandfather Clause." A suffrage law for the south similar to the "grandfather clause" is urged by Ernest T. Florance, one of the most prominent lawyers in New Orleans, and a strong advocate of suffrage, who was in Washington as a member of a special committee of the American Bar Association. That is the only way in which woman suffrage in the South can become an accomplished fact," said Mr. Florance. "The southern states will never make voters of the Negro women. Take, for instance, the states of Louisiana and Mississippi, in which the population is almost equally divided between the whites and the blacks. It is manifestly impossible that the vote should be given to the Negroes. If it were it would mean a social revolution. "But do not understand," said Mr. Florance, "that the educated colored man is deprived of the right of franchise. It is an educational and property qualification that disfranchises the Negro, but only the poor and ignorant one. Effort Will Be Idle Without Law. "The grandfather clause" merely provides that no one whose ancestor voted in 1860 can be disqualified for these reasons. Thus discrimination is made between the white and the colored man, and until some similar method is found of discriminating between the white and the colored woman it will be idle to try to win the South to woman suffrage. "In the near future a law will be framed that will not exclude colored women from the franchise, but will simply not include them. When this time comes, and I am confident that it will come in the near future, suffrage for white women will be an ac-complished fact. "It is for this reason that no federal amendment giving the vote to women will be tolerated. A federal law carries with it federal regulation, and no southern state will ever give the federal government an opportunity to come in and interfere with its electoral laws."-Washington Star. PARAGRAPHIC NOTES. THE long-cherished plans of the Colored people of New York to have a theater of their own are about to be put in operation. Next Monday night the Bijou Theater, Broadway and Twenty-ninth Street, for years one of the famous playhouses of the city, will be reopened as a theater for Colored people. The scheme is under the direction of Jerome Rosenberg, who will be one of the few white persons connected with the venture. Rosenberg will inaugurate a Colored stock company in the Bijou to play musical comedies. Ishi, an aborigine, who was brought a couple of years ago from the wilde of Tehama County by University of California anthropologists and taught the ways of civilization in San Francisco, has returned to the wilderness. With him are Dr. A. L. Kroeber and Dr. Saxton Pope, who have been developing his primitive mind. Ishi will take them to his old haunts in the remote forest, teach them to kill wild game with bows and arrows, to build fires without matches and to live as red men lived before the white man came. In the matter of clothes alone the two white men will retain the comforts of civilization. Jennie Smith, mother of Charles Allen Smith, of Philadelphia, Pa., will receive the first pension granted on account of the present Mexican "war." Russia supplies more of the world's fur than any other country. Taking the figures for Russia in Europe as well as Siberia, the annual captures have been estimated to amount to the enormous total of 3,000,000 ermines, 16,000,000 marmots, and 25,-000,000 squirrels.

FIRST BLOW FROM THEIR FRIENDS Pieringham, Ala. L. 601 Birmingham, Ala., June 6. The colored men of this city and district have all read with deep regret the report of the Republican state executive committee at Birmingham last Wednesday in eliminating the Negro from Republican politics in the state of Alabama. While this action was regarded as a smooth piece of politics, it will nevertheless go down in history as a backward step on the part of the Republicans of the state of Alabama, and it is believed here will ultimately fail to accomplish the purpose for which it was designed. Primarily, this step was taken by the state committee to pave the way for an alliance between the Progressive Republicans, the disgruntled Democrats and the old line Republicans. That such action is unfair not only to Negroes but to white Republicans, is seen in the fact that 17 counties in the state of Alabama will have no representation whatever in the state convention which will be held the twenty-second of July. While as Negro voters, those interviewed here deplore the unfair action on the part of the Republican committee, they admit that they have nobody to blame for the situation but members of their own race. As a qualified voter who was present and studied the actions of the committee last Wednesday asserts, Specialty made of Constitutions and Pamphlets BUSINESS OFFICE and PLANT, 1109 EYE STREET. N. W.

Will submit terms to agents. without fear of successful contradiction, if the Negro committeemen of the First district, namely C. W. Allen and Frank Three, had been present, either in person or by proxy, such a resolution could not have passed. The fact that these two men slept on their rights and showed a spirit of indifference to the rights and privileges of the people of the First district whom they represented made the action of the committee possible. There were many white committeemen present who felt that the action was unjust and that it would hardly accomplish the purpose for which it was designed; but they reasoned that it was useless for them to make a fight for a people whose own representatives were not sufficiently interested in their welfare to be present, either in person or by proxy. Major P. D. Barker and other white Republicans made a protest against this action. The national committeeman, Major Barker, called attention to the fact that had the national committee acted on the same idea in reducing Southern representation, Alabama would have had only one delegate to represent the whole state in the next national convention. As it was, the vote on the resolution stood 22 for and 15 against. With a little activity on the part of the colored committeemen, if they had been present or represented, this vote could easily have been changed. In the future, the colored men of the state should see to it that they are represented by men who are interested in their welfare and who will not sleep on their rights. In this district the Negroes have made up their minds to watch the site Not only was Christ a Negro, but it seems that Solomon, who has been held up through all the ages as the personification of wisdom, had Ethiopian blood in his veins also.

Webb, evangelist of the Church of God, in his book describes the black man as the father of all civilization. He takes the Bible to show that the fathers of the church and all the great leaders, even the Greatest One, was black. Mr. Webb's work is able and thoughtful. Whether the Anglo-Saxon believes him or not, Mr. Webb writes what he believes to be true about his race and their place in Biblical history.

The following is an excerpt from the "Commonweal," a journal of National Reform, Adgar Madras, India: Night after night the curtain is rung up in the Mexican theater and an eager newspaper public throngs to follow the ever new antics of this serio-comic performance which promises to be in for a long run still. Whether President Wilson and Secretary Bryan are hissed by excited mobs in the streets or supported by foreign governments, does not prove much as to the wisdom or otherwise of the American policy. To the mere onlooker this whole Mexican affair is both sad and disillusioning. It seems so very much the triumph of unrealities over realities, of appearance over being. Englishmen were shot and Americans were shot, not to speak of the Mexicans themselves—for, to the latter murder seems only a mild national pastime. But as soon as not a living human being was attacked, but only a symbol—the flag—the machinery of war was set in motion and military operations were begun for a mere word—for an apology. Before, there had been inaction in the face of crime, of killing. One brigand was repudiated and acted against, other brigands were put up with. The amiable gentleman who gave expression to the idyllic sentiment that he would shoot those who refused to agree with him—in the name of tolerance—that gentleman was upheld as a paragon of patriotic legitimacy.

Now comes the latest news, the report of the burial of a score of poor young fellows, killed in the execution of the foul work which is the outcome of obscure, tainted and base causes in the background. President Wilson has been speechifying on the occasion—according to the cabled summary—in a most dismal and distasteful way. Knowing President Wilsons' character and reputation we, therefore, prefer to think the summary inadequate. He is reported to have "expressed mixed feelings of grief for those lads who had gone to their death, and of pride and envy that they had been permitted to do their duty so nobly." This is the wrong note. In reality these lads were permitted to be pawns in a sinister game. The fact of their death does not change this or glorify their conduct. The others who did not die were in the same boat with them, exactly on a par with these victims. The chance direction of a bullet or shell does not change the character or ennoble the life or death of those who happen to get hit by them. The worst of this patriotic rhetoric is that it praises false ideals. It is true, one cannot make an omelette without breaking eggs; but if eggs must be broken, see to it that a real omelette is the result. The shilly-shallying attitude of the United States seems more concerned with the notion that it matters whether an irresponsible mob tramples on the national colors—and fools will be fools, and should be treated as fools, that is, with contempt—than with the protection of the life, safety and property of its citizens and of the citizens of the other nations for whom they seem to have assumed the role of semi-official spokesman.

Latest discoveries in the city bacteriological laboratory have proved to the satisfaction of the health division, authorities that germs are not carried in the clothing but in the nose, throat and mouth. "We know now that the germs are carried in the throat, mouth and nose," said Dr. Martin Frederick, chief of the City of Bureau of Communicable Diseases." That is the danger. Coughing, sneezing, kissing, and even breathing carry these germs from one person to another. The nurse's gown is not needed. The nose and mouth guard should be substituted and it should be worn by physicians as well. A gray-haired woman walked into the office of the Baltimore Sun with a curiosity which she thought the public would be interested in—a sweet potato thirty-one years old. She was Mrs. Alonzo Knowles and she found the potato on a window-sill in a room which her father had occupied near Beaufort, N. C., the day before his death. There was a nick in it then showing where her father had cut out a small bit of the raw potato to chew on. The nick is still in it, although the potato is as hard as a rock. Mrs. Knowles kept it because it was one of the last things her father touched before he died, and she has carried it back and forth between Balti.nore and the South during all the time since then. She is 67 years old and her father, her four brothers and her four sisters are dead. She still cherishes this thing which her father's hands touched and she means to continue to cherish it until the day of her death.

When Ella Flagg Young, superintendent of the Chicago public schools, gave Tuskegee Institute the name of "the world's vocational university," what she meant was this: if a mind is bent on mastering what was, but isn't, and the wherefore of the change, some other center of knowledge might better serve the wish; but if the mind seeks the way to build up, to take charge of the waste places, to supply the deserts with bloom, to keep the eye on what is to be gained, and not on what was lost, Tuskegee represents the highest achievement in efficiency. Educators generally credit Tuskegee Institute with the pioneer honor in successfully correlating learning with living. The title is rarely disputed. However, Tuskegee has never felt the need of apologizing for the stoutness with which it has held to its one principle; the course of other agencies might change or vary, but Tuskegee will be content to do constructive work. Those familiar with conditions among the ople whose lives Tuskegee ches and influences will hardly use to admit that constructive work alone can advance the cause change the situation. Nor will general denial be made of the assertion that the almost revolution-change noted in the economic industrial condition of Negroes within even the last decade, is due to the acceptance of what is commonly called the Tuskegee idea; an acceptance now common to the leaders and the people alike. The greatest note in that idea is that it is not sectional, but national. And now it isn't even racial. With his own hand Andrew Carnegie wrote beneath his likeness, which is a treasured picture at Tuskegee: "May Tuskegee fulfil her mission." What is that mission? Certainly Principal Washington has never sought to hide it beneath a bushel measure. And yet it involves many diverse interests, and students have found it sometimes hard to describe. However, it is plainly this, to train the people to get a living out of a fuller life, to clothe education in simplicity, and to keep, the one, the nation in mind of its responsibility with respect to ten million citizens, and, the other to keep the Negro awake to his advantages, the while training him to overcome the disadvantages. What influence Tuskegee has wrought in the condition of education of colored people, particularly in the South, may readily be seen in the work of the graduates of the school wherever found. In the trades, in agricultural pursuits, in the class-room, as college presidents and school principals, or in whatever line they are found, no great essay is needed to show that the graduates of Tuskegee have gone out thoroughly alive to both the needs of their people and the honest aim of their alma mater honestly to deal with those needs. Their uniform success is a good basis for judgment. In the largest aspect of education, education outside of the school-room and away from the book, Tuskegee Institute has sought only to be something of the free agent of truth; fair alike to those whom it would serve and those before whom it appeared to serve. Leadership in all the things attempted under the rule of intelligence has been merely an incident in the plan of Tuskegee, and has come only because Tuskegee got a hold on the correct method and refused to turn loose. Neither praise nor criticism, the one always kind and the other often bitter, has changed the course taken at the first. Tuskegee has kept in mind "A bondman's peace, who sighs for all he's lost Yet with smooth smile his tyrant can accost." that the blacks in the South might seek the school for education, but the whites—education must be carried to them. Thinkers, running all the lists of activities, agree almost without exception that this double mission has been generously rewarded. Not all of the activities of Tuskegee, as indicated, are confined to the half hundred shops, as many class-rooms, or the broad acres devoted to experimental and teaching. The yearly gathering of the farmers isn't accidental, but a part of the curriculum. The Workers' Conference is catalogued, and the Summer School for Teachers is judged by those whose word is authoritative as perhaps the soundest teachers anywhere, North or South. Each of these agencies is new in the scheme of education; certainly the conferences fifty years ago would have been undertaken only as affairs of the world and for- eign to any influence of an institution of learning. But they constitute Tuskegee's answer to the question, what is education? Education as Tuskegee sees it means not telling how but showing how. That applies to a class in arithmetic, a class in chemistry, a class on the farm; and that is the idea behind Tuskegee's great university for Negroes, for the National Negro Business League as Principal Washington conceived it, was the practical extension of the Tuskegee idea into the everyday life of the people. Commercial development and business progress could best be brought about through personal exhibitions and experiences involving men who had succeeded, rather than through urgings, appeals and advices. The Negro Conference, the Workers' Conference, the National Negro Business League, what these, no less than Tuskegee Institute itself It is difficult to conceive of a public duty more trying to the sensibilities of a conscientious official than that of the dismissal of employees, made necessary as a result of a reduction in the fiscal appropriation. Under such circumstances, a curtailment of the working force becomes imperative, in many cases working more than the usual embarrassment and hardships incident to dismissals for almost any other reason. It is indeed more or less embarrassing to dispose of employees, even when based upon ascertained inefficiency, for the reason that while in such cases the public interest justifies and even enjoins removal, yet the suffering which such acts on innocent and dependent women and children renders it anything but a pleasant duty. But when Congress decrees that only a certain amount shall be expended for clerical services, leaving no discretion with the appointing power as to an equitable or necessary distribution of the amount appropriated, there is nothing for the official to do but to act accordingly. In such case, the question of relative efficiency is not necessarily involved. Most of those to be dismissed may be of relatively equal merit, and frequently are. Hence, the very great embarrassment to an honest, sympathetic official, who must determine the personnel to be affected. Of course, history has shown that frequently such reductions in appropriations have been made for the sole purpose of enabling an official representing the party in power to get rid of certain party antagonists, solely and purely because they are adherents of an opposing party. And, under such circumstances, when this object is accomplished they increase the appropriation to, or beyond, the original sum, thereby opening the way for the party in power to appoint from its own ranks. But such is not the case with the Pension Office. Reduction in the number of pension claims to be adjudicated has made a reduction in the working force imperative; and the case of must confront the Commissioner of Pensions. And the number to be dropped is considerable, while quite a number must be reduced. We are somewhat familiar with conditions, and are informed that the proportion of colored employees to be affected bears a smaller proportion to the whole number of colored employees than do the whites to be similarly affected bear to the whole number of white employees. This indicates at once that the Honorable Commissioner of Pensions has not embraced an opportunity to do especial damage and injustice to the colored people. Indeed, the Commissioner has shown a very kindly interest in the colored people, an interest exceedingly exhilarating to contemplate, when we consider the zeal with which some Democratic officials delight to humiliate and injure colored employees, simply because of color. We have learned with satisfaction that the Commissioner, with reference to the only colored lady clerk in his office, has adjusted matters so as to cause her retention, as she is an honor to her race and would suffer a plain injustice were she disqualified. We feel it a duty and exceptional pleasure to make the acknowledgment that Hon. G. M. Saltzgaber, the Commissioner of Pensions, is a fair representative of his State, Ohio, where Democrats and Republicans alike find something more honorable and profitable than eternally badgering and injuring the colored people, for no other reason than that those people are ambitious to rise to positions of respectability, honor and profit. Were the Democratic party more disposed toward the Commissioner's sentiments and methods, there might be more tenable grounds for espousing the Democratic cause. as such, have done towards putting the mass of the people in the way of rockbottom progress is now a part of the history not only of colored people, but of education. Tuskegee, then, stands, and stands today more than ever, for the fundamental things in education and life. All independence, economic, intellectual, business, political, must rest upon the fundamental, so teachers have always taught, from the beginning until now. And the Tuskegee idea is brought down to the present age, its calling to fulfil. GET IT STRAIGHT. In glancing over the various mottoes adopted by the various graduating classes of eighth grade pupils, we have come across such as these: "There is always room on the highest shelf," and "Works, not dreams," and the like. As to the first of these, we think it ill-advised, for the reason that to the average boy and girl it is misleading, in that its inner and true meaning has not been fully explained and grasped. "The highest shelf" is too often construed to mean that altitude which being really attainable by the few, is under certain stimuli accessible to the many. This is a mistake. An analysis of the social structure clearly demonstrates that mediocrity is the rule, transcendent genius the exception—the exception alone being capable of reaching the "highest shelf." But a respectable approximation to the "highest shelf" is not to be despised, nor is any other position in the line of progress if it express the best possible effort toward the attainment of high ideals. If there is one agency more than another which has set our young men and women to "stargazing," it is the folly of sitting before them such mottoes as these. How much better would be this? "Honor and fame from no condition rise, Act well your part, there all the ' honor lies " Equally ill-advised is the other motto, "Works, not dreams." If there is any meaning in this motto, it must convey that dreams are useless, while works embrace all that is truly worthy in human activity. Homer, Socrates, Dante, Shakespeare, Goethe, Bacon, Confucius Galileo, Darwin, Huxley, Thucidides, Josephus, Macaulay, Motley, Bancroft and a like host of professed philosophers, seers, historians, come under the definition of dreamers. They are not put down as workers by the present utilitarian age, where there is an insane scramble for the almighty dollar and where his respectability is measured by his bank account. As Burton expresses it, "Ourgoddess is Queen Money, to whom we daily offer sacrifice. It's not worth virtue, wisdom, valour, learning, honesty, religion, for which we are respected, but money, greatness, office, honor." We must not forget that "thoughts are things" and quite as important, if not more so than things. The "dreamer" is the thinker, the architect who plans and through whose "dreams" alone it has become possible to construct financial, commercial and governmental systems. The boy or girl who does not dream, who does not utilize the divine gift of the imagination is a mere clod, destined to be a mere clod, an automaton who can and probably will be superseded by the inventions of the "dreamers." The motto should not be "Works, not dreams," but "Work and dreams," which correctly construed is "work and think." HOKE SMITH It is so very strange to see the venomous attacks that are being made on colored office holders by such men as Hoke Smith, Vardaman and others. What has the colored American done or is doing to cause the unwarrantable attacks? The colored office holders has been a success. Mr. Smith's only reason for the removal of colored office holders is they are "Negroes." He claims that the local bar in this city is opposed to the appointment or retention of a colored man Recorder of Deeds. The charge is not true. There may be a few white members of the bar on the order of Hoke Smith, Vardaman and others who are opposed to the retention or appointment of colored men to office. The colored members of the bar favor the appointment of a colored man to the office of Recorder of Deeds. There are upwards of ninety thousand colored people in this city who pay taxes on over fifteen to twenty millions of dollars worth of taxes, and will Mr. Smith or any other Negro-hating Democrat give sane reasons why these ninety thousand colored people are not entitled to representation in our local government? Then again, what has Hoke Smith to do with our local offices? If he wants to show his loyalty to his party and this government are there not dozens of ways that he can show it without attacking colored Americans? Hoke Smith belongs to that narrow and selfish class of Democrats in the South, who are not long for this earth. They will soon go where they belong, and will be glad to protect himself from the burning flames that awaits to scorch all individuals like this noisy individual from Georgia. He doesn't seem to profit by observation. A little reminder of all those who have bid fairwell to this earth, and left behind them a record of abuse of colored Americans will no doubt be a wholesome lesson to If this so-called Southern statesman would devote a little time to his Bible and prayer book, The Bee feels confident that he would be a successful Christian teacher. He will continue in his mad career until he hears a bugle call that will mean his time is up and then no doubt a first-class colored undertaker will embalm him. The Bee takes this opportunity to remind him that all good and religious colored people continue to pray for him; and there is always great virtue in the prayers of colored Americans. They believe in prayer, while the Southern crackers believe in shot guns. Take a warning, Mr. Smith, before-it is too late. VALE BANQUETS Are banquets in Washington any longer popular? There was a time when banquets, among colored men, was the proper thing and almost a continuous performance. What has happened to stop these gustatory performances? When it was proposed to banquet Judge Terrell the proposition did not meet with that spontaneous and cheerful support of former years. Although, since the time the mind of man runneth not to the contrary Judge Terrell had been either the promoter, high participant or perennial toastmaster of and at all banquets, yet no one took kindly to his banquet. It was, certainly, not because of any opposition to the honoring of the Judge, whose reappointment, at the hands of Democrats, was like a reed snatched from the burning. It was not because of any fault found with the Judge—a Republican, for working industriously for reappointment under a Democratic administration. It was simply because banquets, doubtless, have become passe—a thing of the past. When some one suggested a reception and dance in lieu of a banquet, so that the participants, as well as the honored guest, might get some pleasure out of the affair, all the Judge's friends, near-friends, and indifferent acquaintances fell in with the proposition, and a dance it was, with a generous featuring of the tango and other 'latest dances' on the dance program. Usually a banquet affords the honored guest, and a few "personally selected" friends an opportunity to inflict some boring speeches upon tired, wearied, napping and under-fed guests who put up from $1.50 to $2 for the privilege, of supposedly tasting some alleged "choice viands" and dipping their bill into a wine glass which once, in the dim past, had been filled with real champagne. Have banquets, in Washington colored society, become a thing of the past—a chloriformed reminiscence of yesterday? It would seem so, and if really so we arise to add our voice of approval to the suggested title of this editorial—"vale banquets." PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS (By the Sage of the Potomac.)

Every time the manager makes a move there is a loss of several hundreds of votes to the chief. Well, I feel confident that Link would readily change his manager if he really knew how to do it without disruption. * * * Speaking of the Odd Fellows' B. M. C. is like trying to fathom the bottom of the earth. It is going to be a fight royal. It is rumored on very good authority that Al. Cosey will succeed Col. Johnson, a new deputy will succeed Dutton. There will be no tears if a successor to Dutton is appointed. He has been trying to succeed the Recorder for some time. If President Wilson makes up his mind to appoint Cosey, you just bet all you have that a successor to Dutton will be appointed. It is a great wonder that Link hasn't been made wise long ago. ** There are some very fine white women in the Recorder's office. The female Democratic women are more sociable than the white Republican females. There is some fine blood among many white females in the Recorder's office. Some one has informed Anthony T. L. Jones that he resembles Toussaint L. Ouverture. Well, there is one thing certain: that he is a liberal lawyer and possesses royal blood. I attended the graduating exercises at Convention Hall last Tuesday night. Speaking of gowns, you never witnessed such in all your life. Talking about variegated marvels in real goods, they could be seen on those sweet misses. They all looked like spring birds in new spring dresses.

COMM®*:cCEMENT AFTERMATH That was -the finest looking body of young men and women ever grad- uated from the colored high schools. Mr. MacFarland’s address was timely, instructive and inspiring to both the graduates and their friends present, |. ‘That_was a magnificent audience. Had Tillman, Hoke Smith, Varda- man and a few other anti-race men been present and witnessed that magnificent assemblage it might have changed their brutal opinion of the race. Superintendent Thurston's _ talk was short, but it was crammed full of wisdom, and he delivered it in such an unostentatious and pleasing man- ner. President Blaire was happy in his introduction of the speakers, and in his corigratulations to the graduates. Assistant Superintendent Bruce spoke eloquently. The orchestra furnished beautiful and appropriate music, under the splendid leadership of Prof. Harry Williams. Mrs. Harris and Dr. Marshall were eloquent in their silence, and just as effective. Prof. Montgomery's _ introduction proved that he is still alive and ad- mired by. many hecause of his cour- teous ways and sincere manners. Assistant Superintendent Bruce, in his speech, intimated that there ‘are too many colored physicians in Washington, Dr. Creed W. Childs was robbed of an opportunity to deliver a short ad- dress in praise of the vocational school. How unfortunate. Te was unfortunate that Principal Wilkinson, of Armstrong, did not Know the names of his graduating class. It would have been better for him to have used a typewriting list as did Prof. Williams. The commencement of life for the colored graduates of 1914 was Tues- day. The Bee wishes each and all the greatest possible success. Each and every one has centered in him or her the hopes of parents and friends. Would it not be a good thing. to get back to the good old.days when one of the graduates became the class orator and spoke at commence- ment? Why not give graduates an opportunity to appear in the spot- light again, and do away with these perennial academic essays by assist- ant superintendents. Give the gradu- ates a chance to let one of their num- ber shine. We commend this sug- gestion to the board members. FAIRMOUNT HEIGHTS. Rev. Dr: W. A. C. Hughes’ and Rev. Robert A.

BUTTERFLY FARM OWNED BY GIRL Makes oe by Rals- Ing Hundreds of Insects. FINDS A READY MARKET. Gatching the Butterfiies and Moths Only a Small Part of the Work, as Real Difficulty Is Experienced In Ralsing Them—interesting as Well as Profitable Duty. ‘Truckee, Cal.—A California girl with the astonishing name of Ximena Me. Glashan 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 suc- cess of it by dint of bard work and at. tention to scientific detail. It sounds very pretty to be callod, as ‘Miss McGlashan frequently 1s, “the butterfly princess.” But thig particular printess {s a mighty industrious one. In the spring and summer she fs often busy from daylight until after 10 eclock at night. ‘This ttle fact is worth mentioning, a3 Miss McGlashan has received hun- dreds of letters from women and girls ‘who apparently want to found a whole dynasty of butterfly princesses. They have heard that this young girl, with- out capital or previous experience, is making $50 a week out of butterflles 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 Sear and a half ago. She was planning then to be a teacber, and when one day she saw her father showing his little grandchild bow to capture a butterfly At 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 butterfiles than in peda- gosy. 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 butterfiles and recely- ed $75 in return. In ten weeks she sold over 10,000 specimens at a flat price of 5 cents aplece 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 {mportant end of the business. Catching the butterfiles and mothe is only a small part of the work. The real job ts raising them. Only perfect specimens are saleable, and It is s ‘ticklish undertaking to capture these fragile creatures without injuring them. Many of them are already 5 trifle damaged. They may have lost an antenna or a piece of n wing. ‘The first thing this young entomolo gist does with her captured spect. mens, therefore, is to sort them ove! carefully. She liberates the males that are not perfect so that they may x eat and propagate more of thelr spe- cles, The imperfect female speclment she puts in paper bags, one to eact bag, 80 that she will have thelr eggs to add to her stock. ‘This is where the real work begins In each bag she puts food for the oc cupant. Butterflies will not deposi thelr eggs unless confined In a gauze bag or its equivalent and supplied witt thelr particular food. Every day Misi McGlashan feeds her butterfifes wit! dried apples soaked in water contain Ing a little honey or sugar. ‘With this treatment she persuade: them to lay their eggs on the inside o the bag. Some of them deposit as man} as 200 or 300 eggs. When they hav. finished they die. The eggs hatch {1 varying perlods, some in a few days others only after the lapse of months Miss McGlashan bas them in tes tubes where she can keep track of thet development. During the winter shi puts the tubes in cold storage to pre vent the eggs hatching before the prop er food plants are ready. ‘When the eggs come out she has an other period of fecding before her. Shi caters to the tastes of these littl worms as carefully as if she were : high salaried chef supplying a cuisin for a lot of epicures.

S, BOUNDARY Surveyors Fix Line Between Alaska and Canada, Bitke, 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 exgineer, representing the United Btates Alaskan boundary commission. and T. D. Cralg, representing a similar commission of Canada. Although the United States and Can- ‘ada have been neighbors in the far ‘north for almost half a century, the ex- ‘act dividing Ine between their posses- sions, especially as to the northern por- tion, was, previous to this survey, in- definite and confilcting. 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 Aretic ocean, a distance of approximately 600 miles. The United States surveying party consisted of from sixty to elghty men each season since the work was under- taken. Chief Engineer Riggs, bimself a young college man, selected his aids from the bardlest classes—cowboys, forest rangers, prospectors, timber cruisers and frontlersmen, with a lib- eral sprinkling of engineers. ‘New ex- | peditions were organized each spring. although many of the men who started at‘the beginning have remained in the service up to now.

WANTS THREE GOVERNORS. Suggests That This Body Have Supervision of All the Governmental Affairs-Would Replace Many Offices and Bureaus and Control All Features of Development In Territory. Washington. - In a report sent to Senator Key Pittman and Representative William C. Houston, chairmen of the senate and house committees on territories respectively, Secretary Lane of the interior department urges the creation of a development board to have complete control of the natural resources of Alaska. Bills for the creation of boards or commissions to administer the government of Alaska have been introduced in the senate by Senator Chamberlain of Oregon and in the house by Delegate Wickersham of Alaska. These bills differ only in detail, and the general purpose of both is in accord with the recommendation of Secretary Lane. The development plan urged by the secretary provides for a board of three members, appointed by the president and confirmed by the senate, which is to have headquarters in Alaska and is to be charged with the general conduct of all governmental affairs connected with the natural resources and development of the territory. "It is proposed and urged," says Mr. Lane, "that the board shall take over such authority now exercised by various departments and bureaus as may be necessary to give it supervision over practically the entire public domain and all the natural resources of Alaska and control of such activities as are closely related and essential to the development of the physical resources of the country. "The board would do the work now done in Alaska by the general land office, the forest service, the road commission, the bureau of mines, the bureau of education and the secretary of the interior. It should take over a part of the work and authority of the bureau of fisheries. Beginning at the shore line, the development board should have complete control of all governmental activities and interests connected with the development of industries and transportation and the settling of the country. "This should include the control of water powers, building and maintenance of roads and trails and operation and rates of the railroads and telegraph lines. It should include protection and control of game, fur bearing animals, public lands, mineral deposits, coal, oil, gas, hot springs, timber lands and timber." Secretary Lane also urges that this board should take over the supervision of educational work among the Indians and natives, the reindeer industry, control of the surveyor general's office and the supervision in co-operation with the department of agriculture of agricultural experiments and demonstration work in the territory It is pointed out in the report that at present each of at least a score of Government bureaues in Washington divided among the various departments has something to do with the government of Alaska and that there is a vast amount of red tape and circumlocution in the administration of public affairs under this system. Instances are given in the report of delays of several years in the handling of uncomplicated land and other matters which should have been promptly disposed of. "There must be new and simple machinery," says Mr. Lane. "The new policy is not to invite a few men to exploit the cream of Alaska's riches, but to develop all the resources and possibilities of the territory harmoniously for the best interests of both the people who go to Alaska and the people of the United States who own this great public domain." Mr. Lane points out that there are now only 802 miles of wagon roads 617 miles of sled roads and 2,160 miles of trails in the whole of Alaska, for the construction and maintenance of which about $2,600,000 has been spent. He urges that roads and trails are as essential to the opening of Alaska to settlement as railroads, and that these roads for several years to come must be built by the government. The reindeer industry, now monopolized by the natives, Mr. Lane looks upon as the beginning of a great industry which may have something to do with solving the meat supply problem of the United States. The secretary discusses at consider able length the cable and telegraph system in Alaska now operated by the signal corps of the war department and proposes that this should probably be managed by the development board Coffin Ready, Killa Himself. Montgomery City, Mo.—Nicholas Deontoul, the oldest merchant in Montgomery, had a carpenter here make for him a walnut coffin, which he kept under his counter.

LEOPARD IN ALL DAY VIGIL When Mata Diss' it Moans and Refuses Food For a Day. New York.—From 10 o'clock in the morning until late at night Sultan, a snow leopard, four years old, stood with his fore feet planted across the body of his dead mate, Sultana, in a forty foot square outdoor cage in the Bronx zoo. At intervals he raised his head and roared long and plaintively. Every time he did this the lions and jaguars on either side of the leopard cage raised their voices in a deep throated plaint. In an effort to make Sultan abandon his death watch Keeper David Schwartz placed a big, juicy porter- house steak in the section of the cage inside the animal house, but Sultan paid no attention to it.

San Rafael, Cal.-An attempt to organize a company of soldiers for the purpose, he said, of marching on Mexico landed Henry Klopp, caretaker of a large estate near here, in jail. Klopp shouldered a rifle, went to a county highway and halted men on the road until he had accumulated an "army" of eight. For an hour he drilled them. Word reached the sheriff's office that the men were being held prisoners, and a deputy slipped up behind Klopp and with the butt of his gun knocked him down. Klopp's gun was found to be empty. He will be examined for his sanity. Aged Monarch Wants to Surrender Throne to His Son. Geneva.—It is an open secret in European diplomatic circles that the aged King Peter of Servia wishes to abdicate in favor of his son and settle down in private life in Geneva. His majesty has a large circle of private friends here, he having passed ten ```markdown ``` Photo by American Press Association. KING PETER OF SERVIA. years here for the education of his two boys. For more than a year past private emissaries have been on the lookout trying to find a suitable residence for the old king, but the notorious conduct of his son and heir to the throne has somewhat disarranged his original plans, and he is advised that his second son is still too young to assume the responsibility of a ruler. The day after the assassination of King Alexander and Queen Draga King Peter said—he was then Prince Karageorgevitch—that he aborbed the terrible crime, in which he took no part whatever." He added that he was too old to accept the throne, but that he had no choice in the circumstances. As soon as affairs permitted he would return to the quiet life of a country gentleman in Geneva. During all these years his majesty has kept up his correspondence with his former friends here and in private letters has stated quite recently that he hopes to be in Geneva again at no distant date. As he put it. "Now that the war is over, I can finish my days in peace with honor." Rat Robs a Slot Machine. Findlay, O.-The discovery of a rat working a slot machine averted suspicion from several boys who, it was thought, had been robbing it in the Toledo and Ohio Central passenger station of gum and pennies. Four hundred sticks of the former and fifty pennies were missed when a rat was seen climbing up the wall near the machine. It jumped on the trap in the machine and in this way released gum and pennies. Steamer Angler Open for Charter for RIVER VIEW The Excursion Boat Angler may now be chartered for excursions.

It must have been an enthusing sight for Jesus' disciples to see a rich young ruler run after the Master and kneel at His feet, saying, "Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" The Great Teacher did not answer directly, but inquired why the title good was applied to Him. He would have the young man notice that everything really good must in some way be in accordance with God. There were only two ways in which Jesus could be viewed. Elither He was, as He claimed, the Son of God, come into the world on a special mission for humanity; or else He was a deceiver, misrepresenting Himself and deceiving the people. Jesus wished the young man to consider the force of his own expression and decide at once this important question. - Narrow Way—Self-Sacrifice. What did Jesus mean by telling the young man that the way to everlasting life was the keeping of the commandments? We reply that God's promise to Israel was, "He that doeth these things shall live by the doing of them." All Jews understood this; and this young ruler confessed that he had been striving to live according to this rule, and yet he was dying, like the remain- promise to Israel was, "He that doeth these things shall live by the doing of them." All Jews understood this; and this young ruler confessed that he had been striving to live according to this rule, and yet he was dying, like the remainder of the race. Jesus' answer signifies, "You should not only strive to keep the Law, but you must be a sacrificer; take up your cross and follow My example." We are not hastily to suppose that Jesus meant that riches should be given away recklessly. Had the young man agreed to the terms and asked the Lord how best to distribute his wealth, doubtless the Lord would have said. "Give it all to God; and then as His steward distribute it according to the wisdom which He will give you." Even this full surrender of earthly possessions would not be sufficient. Whoever would gain a place in the Kingdom must become active in the Lord's service, and follow patiently in the narrow way of self-sacrifice, in the Redeemer's footsteps. Sorrowfull For Very Rich. The young ruler's riches were not of themselves harmful. The difficulty was that he had set his heart upon them, so that when the test came he demonstrated that he loved God less than he loved his wealth. He forsook the opportunity to do the greatest good, and thus turned his back upon membership in the Kingdom class. We are not however, to understand that there is no hope for him. Even while missing the Kingdom opportunities, he may be one of those blessed by the Kingdom Few Rich In the Kingdom. The rich young ruler's failure to become a disciple on Jesus' terms furnished a text for Jesus. He said to His disciples, "It is easier for a camel to go through the Needle's Eye than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God."—Matthew 19:24. The Needle's Eye was a small gate or opening in a large gate in the city wall. The gates were closed at night for protection against robbers; and watchmen were on duty. An arrangement was made, however, for travelers who failed to reach the gate before it was closed. The Needle's Eye was just large enough to permit a camel to go through after having been unloaded Thus understood, Jesus taught that a rich man could enter the Kingdom of God only by giving up all to the Lord. The amazed disciples inquired, "Who then can be saved?" The rich seemingly had all opportunities of time, influence and money to enable them to give better service to the Lord than could others; and if they would have such difficulty in getting into the Kingdom, how would it be with those less favored? Jesus answered, "All things are possible with God." That is to say, if n rich man be hon est-hearted and humble, and his riches alone stand in the way, the Lord would show him the Divine will respecting their use. If this did not avail, the Lord would know how to strip him of his wealth, even as the mast master would unload it to pass through ```markdown ``` the camel to permit it to pass through the Needle's Eye. "We Have Left All." St. Peter seemed to get the thought that joint-heirship in the Messianic Kingdom would mean a full surrender to God. He said, "We have left all, and have followed Thee." Jesus did not fully endorse this statement. Judas had not nearly left all. In St. Peter himself some self-will still remained, and self-preservation would lead him to deny his Master, later on. But Jesus' answer fully covered the question, not only for the Apostles, but for all who have become followers of Jesus from that day until now. Persecutions all His followers are sure to get: but everything sacrificed for the Lord is compensated a hundred-fold. --- A "CRUSOE" IN LAKE ERIE. Had Been Marooned by Stranger and Left Without Food. Middle Bass Island, O.—That he was taken to Middle Sister island, Lake Erie, three weeks ago by a man who said he owned the place and who left him food enough to last a week, but who never returned, is the story told by Henry Adair, fifty, who says he lives in Detroit, brought here by members of a fishing party who rescued him in what appears was the nick of time. Members of the party fishing in Lake Erie off Middle Sister island, isolated near the Canadian line seventeen mile from here, were attracted by the frantic waving of a shirt. Drawing closer, they discovered Adair. He was emaciated and starving. All he had left of his store of food was a few crusts of bread. Adair told his rescues that a man accosted him in Detroit and asked if he wanted employment. He said he was to have been employed to look after the premises, although he found on arriving on the island there was practically nothing to look after. His scanty food supply was eked out with clams he found in the sand. His days he spent trying to signal help from passing boats. KILLS AN EAGLE IN A TRAP. Bird Was a Huge One and Boldly Attacked Hunter. Edmonton, Alberta—Tom E. Mason, a fur trapper, has come to Edmonton for medical treatment, following a fierce fight with a golden eagle, which clawed and pecked his face, neck and left shoulder and arm. He killed the bird, which had a spread of wings of eight feet two inches from tip to tip. "I was attracted to a trap," Mason said, "by a strange noise, and as I got closer I saw a huge golden eagle held by one foot. "My first thought was to release the bird, not thinking that it would venture an attack, but that is where I was fooled. I was quickly made aware of the fact when I was sprawled upon my back with the eagle and the trap on top of me." WORK NECESSARY TO BE TENNIS CHAMPION New York.—It is not an easy thing for a girl to win a tennis championship. But the hardest work is not done around the nets while the contest is actually on; it is keeping in physical condition for such a match. Miss Clare Cassel of this city, national indoor tennis doubles champion, has compiled twelve rules which, she declares, must be rigidly adhered to before one can hope to win success as a tennis player. They are: First, no golf; second, no candy; third, no dancing; fourth, no cigarettes; fifth, no reading at night; sixth, no wine or cocktails; seventh, no swimming on match days; eighth, massage after each day's play; ninth, luncheon on a glass of milk and a sandwich; tenth, plenty of rallying exercise before each match; eleventh, drinking nothing during a match except barley water; twelfth, bed at 10 p. m. and nine full hours' undisturbed sleep. Miss Cassel in telling of the work necessary to keep in condition and the strength necessary for a game says: "No matter how primed a man really is, a five set match finds him all in. He has to play harder to win—or lose—than any man who goes through nine innings of baseball. A championship match with the players even and the score often running to deuce games and deuce sets will find both men utterly exhausted at the end of the play. It makes many more demands on the players than two halves of varsity football. "And if tennis means this for men perhaps one may imagine what it means for women and girls. If you play to win matches, if you long for the brackets which proclaim you a champion of your club or your county or your state, you must be ready to be grueled week in and week out, for tennis of that class is a grueling game." "Consider the girls and young married women who follow the tournaments from place to place all the livelong season. It means five months of training and self denial, five months of the hardest kind of work from June through October. And then they must play indoors at least twice a week all winter long if they would keep in form." WED IN HENCOOP, JAIL NOW. Judge Tells Wife Desartar He Deserves to Be Cooped Up. Kansas City, Mo.-Charles Sumner, a clerk, married a year ago in a chicken coop before 10,000 persons at a chicken show in Convention hall, was remanded to the county jail on a charge of wife abandonment. At a hearing in a justice court Mrs. Sumner said she believed only the novelty of marriage led Sumner into matrimony. The poultry show committee gave Mr. and Mrs. Sumner $10, a dozer chickens and the coop for consenting to the novel marriage. Justice Welch in remanding Sumner to jail said: "Any man who has the nerve to be married in a chicken coop before 10,000 persons belongs in a coop." M. H. H. SUPERINTENDENT W L. THURSTON Presided at the Graduation of Normal School No. 2. Mississippi State Club. Mississippi State Club At a meeting of the Mississippi State Club held Friday evening, May 22, at the new Mt. Carmel Baptist Church at Third and Eye Streets Northwest, a large number of enthusiastic Mississippiians engaged freely in discussing plans of business cooperation and social betterment. It was unanimously agreed that there has been a lack of real business co-operation on the part of Mississippi residents here. A very comprehensive get-together plan was outlined. Although a very much larger number will be present at the next meeting to be held Monday evening, June 22, at 8 o'clock, at;the same church, a representative of almost every calling and profession was on hand at the last meeting. The political and financial conditions of the country were touched upon in a few well rounded sentences by several professional men present. A complete reorganization will be effected at the meeting at which a full staff of officers will be elected. This club stands for the best there is in organization and means much to the community life as well as to affiliated orders and clubs in the State. Election of Officers. The Amphion Glee Club held its twenty-third annual meeting recently and the following persons were elected to office for the ensuing year: President, J. H. Washington; vice president, Geo. H. Jefferson; secretary, Clarence A. Barbour; treasurer, Chas. A. Champ; librarian, Leon Leonard; manager and director, J. Henry Lewis. Messrs. J. G. Chapman and L. G. Reynolds were elected members of the Board of Directors. The club also made arrangements for the annual mid-Summer outing and tango contest which will be held at Green Willow Park. DEATH OF MRS. MOORE A Most Distinguished Woman Passes Away. Washington friends of Rev. Geo. W. Moore, former pastor of Lincoln Memorial Congregational Church, and they are legion, were shocked to learn of the death Tuesday, June 2, of his beloved and estimable wife, Ella Shepherd Moore. Mrs. Moore was well-beloved for her earnest, Christian womanhood, unselfish disposition and never-failing efforts to help and strengthen all with whom she came in contact. Truly, "to know her was to love her; to name her was to praise." MRS. SUSAN KENNEDY DIES Suddenly—A Worthy Woman and Citizen Gone. Departed this life in this city on the 27th of May, 1914, Susan Kennedy, aged 71 years. Mrs. Kennedy was the mother of William N. Kennedy, a clerk in the City Post Office Department for many years; Mrs. Lucy K. Draper, of this city, and Mrs. Alice Taylor, of Boston. Mrs. Kennedy was born in Richmond, Va., and came to Washington to live with her children about twenty years ago, and made her home with Mrs. Draper ever since. Her death was sudden and unexpected. The Bee extends its sympathy and condolence to her bereaved family.
