Supreme Grand Chapter, O. E. S. One of the most interesting and instructive of the several Masonic meetings held here last week was that of the Supreme Grand Chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star of the United States of America and Canada, which as will be seen in another column of this paper, was on the 20th day of July, 1914, duly incorporated under the laws enacted by Congress, relating to the formation of bodies corporate and politic in the District of Columbia. Pursuant to invitation extended the Supreme Grand Chapter, O. E. S., at its eleventh biennial meeting held in Boston, Mass., July, 1912, by the Keystone Grand Chapter of the District of Columbia, the former body held twelfth biennial session July 20-22, at Armory Hall 708 O Street Northwest, Washington, D. C., with a large number of officers and members of the order in attendance. After the election of the Supreme Grand officers, the S. G. C. adjourned to meet at Memphis, Tenn., July, 1916 The following are the names of the Supreme Grand Chapter officers who were elected and duly installed: Supreme Grand Patron, W. T. M. Grant, Sr., 33d, New Orleans, La. Supreme Grand Matron, Lucinda Robinson, Washington, D. C. Associate Supreme Grand Patron, Edward Garrison, Brooklyn, N. Y.

Minor, Washington, D. C.; Harriet Smith, Washington, D. C.; Caroline Slaughter, Washington, D. C. The meeting of the S. G. C. held at the O Street Armory, July 20-22, was the only meeting duly and legally authorized by the eleventh biennial session to convene in Washington. Hence the so-called biennial session of the S. G. C. of the O. E. S. of the United States of America and Canada held at the True Reformers Hall, Washington, D. C., July 17-18, 1914, was irregular, illegal and its acts are null and void.

Holmes, of the Police Department and doing duty at the House of Detention, who has been seriously ill, is slowly improving, greatly to the gratification of his many friends. WASHINGTON BUSINESS LEAUGUE BUSINESS LEAUGUE NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE. Vice President Banks Makes Railroad Rates—Mississippi Specials. Mound Bayou, Miss., July 22. Vice President Charles Banks, of Mound Bayou, Miss., writes The Bee that he has arranged special rates from Mississippi to the national meeting of the Negro Business League which is to meet at Muskogee, Okla., as follows: Jackson, Miss., $22.45. Natchez, Miss., $21.00. Meridian, Miss., $25.35. Indianola, Miss., $21.55. Holly Springs, $17.25. Greensville, Miss., $21.50. Clarksdale, Miss., $18.55. West Point, Miss., $21.50.

Railroads will all tickets at 2c per mile from all points in Mississippi to Memphis so as to connect with the Rock Island leaving there at 11:00 o'clock on the night of the 17th for Muskogee, Okla. The round trip rate for Memphis to Muskogee is $15.20. Allen Christian Endeavor Allen Christian Endeavor The Allen Christian Endeavor League of Metropolitan A. M. E. Church held a very interesting meeting last Sunday evening, July 26, at 6 p.m. The services were in charge of Mrs. A. M. Lucas, first vice president and temporary chairman of the Missionary Committee. Had the meeting been called a musical festival, truly it would not have been misnamed, for Christian song and music were present in grand array. After opening with a short devotional service the audience was highly entertained with a vocal solo by Mr. C. Lomax, a member of the Metropolitan A. M. E. choir. This selection brought forth a hearty chataququa salute, as did several of the others which followed it. The topic for the evening was "Good News from the Mission Fields," found in Psalms 66:1-8. Mrs. Lucas gave out a number of scriptural references bearing upon the lesson, which were read by various members of the society. With a few preliminary remarks concerning missions, she then introduced the speaker for the evening in the person of Mrs. C. H. Stepteau, wife of the pastor of Metropolitan Church. Mrs. Stepteau's address was excellent and wonderfully instructive, Bringing to the society much good news from the mission fields. It also showed that she had done considerable research in preparation for the same. Among many of the good things mentioned by her, was the fact that in South Africa the native population has doubled within the last twenty years; but the Christian population has increased five times, showing the zealous missionary work being done there. However, there is much room and need for more missionaries. In Africa there are 500 mission fields of 10,000 square miles each, with a population of 70,000,000 souls, and all this without a single missionary. She mentioned the extreme importance of missionary work shown by the fact that there is hardly a Christian meeting of any kind, unless a day or a certain portion of time is set aside for the consideration of the subject of missions. Other good news from the mission fields is that wherever the banner of Christ is planted there also the Young People's Christian Endeavor Society is carried along with it. So there are brothers and sisters in this work in the heathen lands as well as here at home. Bishop Johnson in South Africa and Bishop Heard in West Africa are both doing excellent work in their respective fields, but they will be able to do more if they have a larger financial backing than is at present given them. Mrs. Stepteau urged each one to contribute the small sum of one cent each Sunday to the cause of missions, and by so doing the amount sent to these bishops may be doubled. She further said that during the last year Africa gave $11,000, India $118,000, Persia $33,000, China $88,000, the Orientales of the United States $17,000, making in all a total of $267,000 contributed from native sources for missionary work in their fields. This was indeed good news from the mission fields. After Mrs. Stepteau had finished her address, many felt wonderfully inspired to do their best toward continuing the good work which is being accomplished. Among the other fine numbers upon the program was an instrumental solo by Miss Maud Adams, a vocal solo by Miss Lucas, recitations by Miss Daugherty and Miss Irene Mahoney, and a vocal solo by Mrs. G. A. Cook of Pittsburgh, Pa. All of these were heartily applauded by the chataqua salute. After a splendid collection was lifted, the society repeated the Mizpah in concert, and with the benediction by Rev. B. F. Watson, dismissed, to meet, again on next Sunday evening at 6 p.m. You are cordially invited to be present. EASTERNSTARLODGE EASTERNSTARLODGE INCORPORATION Of the Supreme Grand Chapter, O. E. S. On the 20th of July, 1914, there were filed with the Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia, articles by which the Supreme Grand Chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star of the United States of America and Canada became a body politic and corporate under the act of Congress approved March 3, 1901, relating to the formation of corporations in the District of Columbia. The incorporators are, W. T. M. Grant, Sr., Florence M. Bryant, Anita A. Bryant, Carlysia V. Webb, of New Orleans, La., and Lucinda Robinson, Serena Hopkins, Bessie L. Minor, Harriet Smith and Caroline Slaughter, of the District of Columbia, who will also compose the board of trustees. The particular business and objects of this corporation are to organize and institute grand and subordinate chapters of the O. E. S. and to grant charters, dispensations and authority, and have jurisdiction and general supervision over the same in the United States of America, Canada and elsewhere, and the encouragement and promotion of benevolence and charity among its members and the members of the Grand and subordinate chapters working its jurisdiction and authority. The articles of incorporation were prepared and filed by W. C. Martin, attorney for the Supreme Grand Chapter, and acknowledged before Jeannette Carter, Notary Public, D. C. The Potomac District Conference Aramark, Lafayette, LA 70441 Annapolis, Md., July 25, 1914. The District Conference of the Baltimore Annual Conference convened at Mt. Moriiah A. M. E. Church, Annapolis, Md., Tuesday and closed Wednesday night, July 21 and 22. The opening sermon was preached by the presiding elder, Rev. C. W. Mossell, D. D. He took for his text, St. John 1:14. Subject, Incarnation. It was indeed a great sermon. He emphasized the phase "was made flesh." He said that Jesus was in the father in creation, but was made flesh and dwelled among men, and that in Him was light and the light was the life of men, and if we would reach heaven and eternal glory we should walk in that light. Many very important papers were read. Among one was the paper read by Rev. C. H. Stepteau, pastor of Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, Washington, D. C. Subject, "Does the moral condition of the people improve with their educational and financial advancement?" He discussed it in the affirmative. Those who took part in the discussion were Rev. M. F. Sydes, D. D., and Rev. J. W. Armstrong, who made a great impression upon the conference with his eloquence. Those who visited the District Conference were Rev. A. L. Gaines, D. D., Presiding Elders D. G. Hill, D. D., R. E. Ford, D. D., and J. W. Norris, D. D., all of Baltimore; Rev. C. H. Murry, of Catonsville, Md.; Rev. Joseph Gwynn, P. J. Jordan, D. D., L. S. Flagg, D. D., and D. D. Turpean, D. D., Supt. of the Anti-Saloon League of Maryland, I. N. Ross, D. D. Poultry Raising for Profits. Tuskegee Institute, Ala., July 27. The changing character of the many industries in the South cannot be better understood than in the attitude of farmers and truck farmers toward the raising of poultry. Poultry raising in all sections of the country has become more of a business within the last twenty years than ever before. Fancy breeders with an eye on the blue ribbon of the country fair have always paid a great deal of attention to fowls. The produce exchange report, and the railroad companies bear out this report, indicate that the business of raising poultry has increased almost 500 per cent in the last decade. One has only to keep an eye on the crates carrying chickens, geese, turkeys and ducks through the Western and Southwestern States to appreciate the growing importance of the business of raising and marketing fowl. In certain sections of the country poultry farms are as numerous as truck farms; in fact many truck farmers carry poultry raising along with the cultivation of vegetables. One of the finest poultry farms in the South is at Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. It forms the working plant of the department devoted to poultry raising, which runs from feeding for eggs to artificial incubation. How to build for chickens, for geese, for ducks and for turkeys is a part of the course of study. How to hatch them is no less in importance than how to market them. There are at present in this poultry yard about 2,500 fowls. The plant is cared for by the students Several young men and women have received certificates as finished poultry raisers. There is not a Southern city of any size that will not support two or more poultry farms, and the profits in the business are exactly what the operators make them. Chickens never lack a market, among the rich or the poor, and all races alike are partial to fowl. Visitors FARE TO MUSKOGEE. Railroad Grants Rate of $46.10 From Washington and Return. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad has notified Ralph W. Tyler that it will make a rate of $46.10 from Washington to Muskogee, Okla., and return for the National Negro Business League meeting, tickets good going August 16th, 17th and 18th, and good returning to reach starting point August 31st. The route will be via way of St. Louis and Kansas City. Train leaving Washington at 4 P. M., arriving at St. Louis, 6 P. M. following day, and at Muskogee 11:18 the following morning. If sufficient go to justify putting on a sleeper for the party, the B. & O. will start a sleeping car from Washington to run through to Muskogee without change. Those in Washington and near by cities who contemplate attending the League meeting, and desire to secure this rate will communicate at once with Daniel Freeman, president of the Washington Local Business League, or with Mr. Tyler, the National Organizer. Colored Men Reduced. Changes in the Treasury Department at the beginning of the fiscal year indicate the demotions of colored employees out of all proportion to their numbers in the department. It is to be noted also that while there were some promotions they were either in positions below the clerical grade, or in the lower clerical grades. No case of a promotion of a colored man or woman to the higher grades in the service has been reported. The Bee has has information as to the following cases of demotions: H. C. Tyson, reduced from $1,800 to $1,600; Geo. W. Jacobson, from $1,600 to $1,400; Dandridge, from $1,600 to $1,400; E. J. Morton, from $1,400 to $1,200; W. P. Napper, from $1,400 to $720 (he resigned rather than accept the reduction); Lewis Thompson, from $1,400 to $1,200; Addison Syphax, from $1,000 to $720, and assigned to duty as watchman; Ebenzer Bassett, from $1,000 to $720, and assigned to duty as messenger; Julius Ross, from $1,400 to $600, and assigned to duty as laborer (resigned), and Thomas H. R. Clarke, from $1,400 to $1,200. The Bee proposes to make a study of these departmental changes, and, as far as possible, to point out all cases of injustice. On its face it looks as though there is an organized effort to eliminate the colored man from all service in the departments except menial and unskilled. A Unique Chautauqua The colored men's branch of the Y. M. C. A. has just completed (July 8-22nd) a most interesting Summer School session at Arundel-on-the-Bay, Md. This place is five miles south of Annapolis, facing the Chesapeake Bay, where many of the prosperous colored citizens of Washington and Baltimore are in the habit of spending their summer vacation. The International Committee has authorized the colored men's branch to perfect such arrangements for a Summer School that every secretary, as well as those intending to enter upon the work, shall have the opportunity for specific training in Y. M. C. A. activities. The details of the arrangements have been worked out by Mr. J. E. Moorland, International Secretary, for work among colored men in the city. The course of instruction included various branches of Y. M. C. A. work, and were directed by a faculty chosen from among the most experienced of the local and international secretaries. Among the lecturers were a number of well-known experts in the several departments of Y. M. C. A. work. Among these might be mentioned President Frank K. Saunders, Mr. E. T. Ritchie, Mr. Lucien T. Warner, and Hon. H. B. F. Macfarland. The necessity for an efficiently trained body of colored men in this field is emphasized by the generous offer of Mr. Julius Rosenwald, of Chicago. As a result of Mr. Rosenwald's benefaction already five buildings have been completed, ranging in cost from one hundred thousand to two hundred thousand dollars. These buildings are located in Washington, D. C., Chicago, Indianapolis, Philadelphia and Kansas City. All told, eleven cities have made provision for such buildings which will be completed in the course of a few years. Not only cities of large population which can maintain expensive buildings and equipment, but also hundreds of smaller places need the ministration which the Y. M. C. A. is prepared to offer. It is the purpose of the Chesapeake Summer School to train men for the duties and responsibilities of efficient leadership in this important field of social uplift. Dr. M. W. D. Norman. One of the greatest pulpit orators in this country is Dr. M. W. D. Norman, pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist Church, who will deliver one of his celebrated sermons Sunday evening, August 8, at 8 o'clock. Subject, "Ezekiel's Vision of Dry Bones, as It Relates to the Washington, the Capital of the Nation." No one should miss this sermon, as Dr. Norman is known to be the only man who can fill the Metropolitan Church to overflowing. A. AND M. COLLEGE A Great Institution. What This School is Doing What is Manufactured in Greensboro, N. C.-The Most Approved-The People Succeeding -Progress of the Negro-Dr. Dudley. (Special to The Bee.) Notwithstanding the numerous objects of absorbing interest in and around the historic city of Greensboro, such as the Cone Cotton Mills, the largest of their kind in the world; the battlefield on which was waged a terrific contest, where Cornwallis was made to yield to the Continental forces—by far the most interesting are the North Carolina A. and M. College for Colored People and its environs. The buildings are of the most approved type, the more important of which are the main college building, with its spacious and beautiful auditorium and numerous recitation rooms; three dormitories for the accommodation of six or seven hundred students, a dairy plant whose appointments and output won the first prize in a State competition where white colleges were competitors; a poultry plant, the largest in the State; a large and beautiful horticultural plant; buildings in which are located the mechanical, chemical and biological departments, with their up-to-date machinery, and laboratories; and other buildings of lesser consequence. The college grounds are beautifully designed and well shaded, having a well-kept tennis court and couquet grounds. The grounds and buildings are well supplied with the latest electrical appliances for illuminating and motor purposes and everything is kept in the most sanitary, span-clean and attractive condition. The grounds of the college consist of twenty-six acres well cultivated, with abundant fruit and vegetables, while but a short distance from the college proper is the college farm, containing something over a hundred acres, well stocked and supplied with the latest types of farm machinery and implements, and barns, stables and the like. Cattle breeding is extensively carried on, with the result that a certificate from the A. and M. College assures the best market in the whole State. The A. and M. College is in session the year around, the summer being devoted to the Teachers' Summer School, where are annually assembled approximately four hundred of the most progressive urban and rural teachers of North Carolina, under the direction of the president of the college, Dr. J. M. Dudley, and the tutorship of a large, highly competent, and enthusiastic corps of experienced professors. The session lasts five weeks, and graded certificates are awarded which are recognized all over the State and form the basis of advancement for each teacher. In addition to the regular well-selected curriculum, a course of lectures is maintained to which many of the most advanced white and colored educators and thinkers of the country are contributors. The North Carolina A. and M. College is the pride of the State and, under the splendid management of Dr. Dudley, has taken a place of equal rank with Tuskegee and Hampton Institutes. Indeed, considering that the institution is supported by the State and unaided by any private donations, it may be justly asserted that this college stands at the head of the list of agricultural and mechanical colleges for colored people. Dr. Dudley has, by his superb suavity, exceptional executive and administrative ability, business tact, extensive acquaintance with the best people of the country succeeded in establishing and maintaining for himself a reputation which may well be emulated by our people; and an educational institution which reflects honor upon the State of North Carolina and constitutes a living and enduring testimony to the possibilities of well directed pedagogic effort. In general equipment, esprit d'corps, and uniform efficiency the North Carolina A. and M. College stands high and promises to become the best, if not the largest, college for colored youth in this country. Dr. G. H. Richardson, of Washington, delivered a lecture before the Teachers' Summer School on the evening of Friday, the 24th, which was declared by the management to be the most scholarly and suggestive of the course. President Dudley, with Dr. Richardson as guest, left here on the 25th for Richmond, Va., and thence to Smallwood Institute, located about sixty miles below Richmond, on the historic James River. The occasion was the unveiling of the monument erected to the memory of Dr. J. J. Smallwood, the founder of the Institute. The site of the school is on a commanding elevation about seven miles from Jamestown and is the place where the auction block for the sale of the second consignment of slaves in 1623 was reared. Of the irony of fate! When once stood bared, bleeding, brutalized and commercialized human beings now may be seen colored youths, free, aspiring, in the full flush of liberty and (Continued to page 4.)

Effects immediate. KLOCZEWSKI'S & CO., 701 G Street Northwest (From the Evening Star.) Preparations for restoring the old Sixteenth Street signs were begun recently by the electrical department of the District government. Fortunately, the District still had in its possession the former signs, so that the cost of redesigning the thoroughfare will be slight. Officials of the engineer department stated that they intend to keep the Avenue of the President signs on hand in case further changes should be authorized. Washington's Rank in Civic Matters. (From the Evening Star.) Washington, D. C., leads all other cities of its size in funds spent for street lighting and in maintenance of its organized militia, according to figures made public by the Bureau of the Census. It takes second place in expenditures for policing, and third place in the protection of life and property. It brought up the rear in the matter of money expended for the conservation of child life. A screech owl, roosting high on a ledge on a Senate gallery, peacefully snoozed while the Senate was in session last week. The bird took no noticed interest in the bills and resolutions introduced, but just "snoozed and kept on snoozing." A 12-year-old colored girl, of Kinston, N. C., saved passenger train No. 60 of the Atlantic Coast Line from Weldon to Kinston, recently. She had seen "something funny" about the track and signaled the train by tearing off her red petticoat. The extreme heat had caused the rails to expand to an abnormal degree, causing a "sun kink." The buckling rails had thrown the track six or seven feet off the roadbed and had it not been for the girl's thoughtfulness we shudder to think what the frightful damage to life might have been. The passengers lined up to shake hands with their little colored benefactress, and Conductor G. D. Hawkes, of Kinston, took up a handsome collection for her.

A new book entitled "The Black Man Was the Father of Civilization." This book defends its title exclusively by the Bible and therefore has nothing to fear. This book is illustrated with many pictures. Price, $1.00 by mail. The following comment is from the Seattle Daily Post Intelligencer: Elder J. M. Webb, evangelist of the Church of God, in his book describes the black man as the father of all civilization. He takes the Bible to show that the fathers of the church and all the great leaders, even the Greatest One, was black. Mr. Webb's work is able and thoughtful. Whether the Anglo-Saxon believes him or not, Mr. Webb writes what he believes to be true about his race and their place in Biblical history.

TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION. One copy per year in advance...$2.00 Six months.....1.00 Three months.....50 Subscription monthly.....20 COLORED POLICEMEN If the Commissioners of the District of Columbia want to be convinced that there are thousands of sound colored men in this city who are fit for police service, let them place the examination of these men under the Health Department. Then again The Bee is of the opinion that Dr. Woodward should be given the power with the advice and consent of the District Commissioners to appoint all police surgeons. They should come under the Health Department. Let there be a new man appointed who shall come directly under Dr. Woodward. Just think of it. The present police board has not found a colored applicant competent to pass the examination for several years, and yet there are thousands of able bodied colored men digging in the ditches and tearing down houses this warm weather, and yet we are told that they are not strong enough to be a policeman. The Bee ventures the assertion that one-fourth of the present police force could not stand such work. The Bee is confident that a change will be made and competent colored men will be given an opportunity to enter the police examination. As an evidence of this unfairness, a colored man who had passed the police surgeon about three or four years ago, but for some reason he refused to accept the job. He finally concluded, however, that he would go on the force. He submitted himself to a preliminary examination and the result was that his lower limbs had been scared in the Philippines, hence he was disqualified. There wasn't one thing the matter with this applicant, simply his color. This same individual reapplied for examination to return to the army. He passed and he is in the army today. He became disgusted. On another occasion a colored man by the name of Pryer, met every requirement, but because he forfeited his collateral in a minor charge, which he fully explained, he was rejected. Now, unless Commissioners Siddons and Newman take matters in charge, the colored citizen stands a poor chance to be appointed on the police force. Ex-Commissioner H. L. West made it a rule where places on the force were held by colored men, a colored man should succeed. There have been five or six colored officers either retired, resigned or removed from the force and in every instance a white man has been appointed. Namely, Fred Dyson and Baily died and two white men were appointed in their places; Robert L. Waring, a colored crossing officer resigned and a white man was appointed in his place. Two or three other colored officers were retired and white men were appointed in their places. It has been the policy of the police department since the retirement of Ex-Commissioner H. L. West to ignore colored men in this department of our local government. The Bee expects more from the present board of Commissioners, because it is composed of men above petty prejudices. ALABAMA EILYWHITISM ALABAMA EILYWHITISM. Now, news to The Bee from Birmingham, Ala., to the effect that colored Republican voters have been notified that they are not wanted, and are prohibited' from taking part in the Bullmoose party convention. Now, will the colored voters insist in supporting Bullmoose candidates for office? A Democratic Congressman by the name of Mr. White, in a speech PROF. J. M. DUDLEY. In another column will be found a brief, incomplete, though interesting account of the North Carolina A. and M. College for the Colored Race. Our correspondent was evidently hasty in his description, for we are personally aware that he put matters very mildly. He did not, we fear, place sufficient stress upon the personality of President Dr. James M. Dudley. We know him to be par excellence the best-equipped educator in North Carolina, if not of the South. His school stands out most prominently as the school for the preparation of skilled artisans and scientific agriculturists. By his unswerving devotion to the cause of the constructive upbuilding of the colored masses into the full stature of useful and enlightened American citizenship, he has demonstrated the grand possibilities of the race. Cultured, modest, thoroughly equipped, imperturable amid tempest and storm, always with an eye to the mark of the high calling, generous to a fault, sympathetic, a born diplomat, a ready advocate, a generous antagonist, an uncompromising devotee to sound principles and high ideals, Dr. Dudley has earned the just title of wise leader, fearless advocate, advanced thinker, and unswerving defender of the rights of man. His assistants are selected with consummate acumen, his business administration is patterned after the most approved system; his insight into character unexceptionable. Entrusted with absolute control, his accounts are correct, his method of accepting and concluding proposals perfect, the esprit remarkable, and the conduct of his school absolutely unmarred by dissatisfactions and bickerings. Unlike many engaged in educational work in the South, Prof. Dudley has not found it advisable to politically emasculate himself. He is no ranter, no alarmist, no iconoclast, no defamer. He seems to be the only commanding personality of black skin, who is able to accommodate himself to conditions and at the same time to maintain his own manhood. He does not "crook the pregnant hinges of the knee, that thrift may follow fawning," but, with due care to social conditions, walks in a man's shoes and with a man's heart and brain, performs a man's duty, and leaves the rest to the unerring disposition of the Grand Architect of the Universe. What we have said of Dr. Dudley might, under proper conditions, be said of other educators; but the saving clause in Dr. Dudley's constitution is "a man's a man, for a' that and a' that." In another column will be found esting account of the North Carolina Race. Our correspondent was evicent we are personally aware that he put we fear, place sufficient stress upon James M. Dudley.

There are today in many departments under the government white Republicans who are doing the Democratic party harm by false pretenses. Would it not be wise for Mr. Wilson to get rid of all these false pretenders and put his own snakes in office, no matter how venomous they may be? The colored voters would not be surprised at what is done to them. The colored voter and the colored office holder who prayed for a change in the administration from Republican to Democratic, have just realized what effect it has had upon them. Many of them declared that they were protected by the civil service and hence could not be disturbed. During the two administrations of President Cleveland the civil service law had no more effect on the conscience of Democratic chiefs of departments than a June wind freezing ice on top of the Washington monument, or in the wash room of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Take the recent demotions and c-charges in the Sixth Auditor's office. Who made the recommendations? A Republican holdover chief. Who is responsible? The Democratic administration. Had the chief been a Southern Democratic cracker, The Bee would not have been surprised. There are some good and fair minded Democrats in office, who possess a few sparks of humanity toward colored office holders and voters. In Alabama the Bullmoosers are dissatisfied Republicans and Republican candidates for office. There are a few in this city. What is the remedy? Turn the rascals out. The clouds of war are on the horizon! Who are involved? Is it a strictly commercial war, or a mere fight for crowns? There is really no fight nor expectation of fight. The fight is not to be of bullets but of ballots. Millions of dollars are at stake, the commercial world will have no war. England, Germany, France, are playing for a place in the commercial world, and it is simply lovely, though transparent, that the contest is titanic. The small fry are at the mercy of the big fish. Some day the tables may turn. The vindication of Mr. Jabez Lee in Equity Court last Wednesday by his honor Justice Wright, was in keeping with all decisions rendered by this able jurist. Mr. Lee received a clean "bill of health." There was no legal technicalities or dodging in any particular. It was a clean cut vindication, and the congratulations didn't only come from colored lawyers, but from many able white lawyers, who were in court and heard the testimony. SET THE EXAMPLE. From the Richmond Planet. "There are many young men in this neighborhood who need good, strong sturdy, industrious wives to take care of them." The Bee's esteemed contemporary should set the example. He has been dodging issues "from the time the memory of man runneth WAR. JABEZ LEE. d a brief, incomplete, though inter- A. and M.

Can a teacher mark a teacher who knows nothing of the subject? Armond Scott will win, notwithstanding the rays of the Sun. It is easier to stand on the outside of breastworks and get shot, than it is to stand behind breastworks and be protected. Every colored Democrat in the country would sacrifice the Lord Jesus Christ to be made Recorder of Deeds. What show then has the Negro race, when a colored Democrat wants an office? A Negro Democrat will be made Recorder of Deeds, but he will hold until Congress meets and passes upon his nomination. This is a bait for Negro votes. The Democratic United States Marshal is alleged to have said that it is his policy and the policy of the administration to allow colored applicants to go no higher than a messengership. When an editor cannot be used for the personal gains of others he is damned. Why should bowling alleys that are objectionable be allowed to exist in a colored neighborhood? The word that went down the line that our school teachers must not put themselves in the attitude of waiters, bootblacks and dining-room servants—may not have helped the individual teacher "swell," but it put a fair premium upon the self-respecting man who taught manhood all winter and stood by his teaching all summer. If our educational institutions stood more on manhood than upon "sinues" the race would be better off. Brother Cunningham seems to think that the brutality, lynching and the like are due to drunkenness. He cites a case of brutal devilry in South Carolina. We beg to remind Mr. Cunningham that there is no drunkenness, in South Carolina. Whatever of cruelty and lawlessness we hear of is sober, coldblooded, predetermined meanness. Drunkenness and its concomitants are to be deplored, but the devilry of the South Carolina atrocities our friend speaks of do not grow out of drunkenness. A. M. COLLEGE. (Continued from 1st page.) ever increasing, opportunities for moral, social and material advancement! Here Dr. Dudley made one of the most eloquent, inspiring and happy speeches ever delivered on a like occasion. On Monday, the 27th, Dr. Dudley, in company with his guest, left for Washington, D. C., where he went by appointment to confer with the United States Commissioner of Education relative to important educational matters, and returned to Greensboro on the 28th. During Dr. Dudley's short stay in Washington he was the recipient of many courtesies at the hands of the city's most prominent and cultured men. Mr. Charles E. Lane was Dr. Dudley's most cordial and most hospitable conductor. PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS (By the Sage of the Potomac.) It is an old aphorism, your sins will find you out. It is always best to deal fairly with your friends, because there is a day of retribution. A man may do ninety-nine things and kill himself by doing the hundredth one wrong. The top of a monument may be too heavy for the foundation. It is no crime to submit, a proposition to purchase a newspaper, and neither is it a crime to betray your friends, but merely ingratitude. \*\*\* My friend, Tom Fortune, is one of the contributions editors of the local contemporary in this city. Tom is a voluminous writer and an old-timer who has not lost any of his journalistic vigor. Speaking of Tom, he is not the oldest journalist in this country, and neither is he easily fooled by flattery. \*\*\* It is a pleasant sight to witness the promenaders of the You Street boulevard. You may stand on any corner from New Jersey Avenue to Fourteenth Street and witness some of nature's beauties. It is said that the colored race is the bouquet race of the land. There is no specimen of humanity more beautiful. The variegated colors, styles and carriages that promenade this boulevard would cause old Vardaman to wonder and Ben Tillman grit his teeth. Talking about Canary birds of variegated colors, this is the place to find them. We should feel proud of this people. Take a stroll to the Howard, stand on the opposite side of the street and look at the entrance of the popular theater. It is a most charming sight. Why should this ebony race despair when it is surrounded by so much beauty and refinement? It is a most charming sight to behold. There is some class to our female beauty promenaders. They are in the height of fashion. They have no cause to weep for other associations than those that belong to this ebony race. Why should a white bowling alley be allowed to exist in a colored neighborhood any more than a pool room conducted by colored men be allowed to exist in a white neighborhood? Pool rooms, bowling alleys and other places of amusement should not be allowed in residential neighborhoods. Just think of the noise that one is forced to endure. Bowling alleys are more noisy than pool rooms. The sergeant says that the bowling alley man has his license. That makes no difference. All licenses are revocable. Why not a noisy bowling alley? The colored citizens have some rights that must be respected. In T Street the colored citizens have made remarkable headway. They are some of the most substantial residents in this part of the city and they are entitled to protection. * * * Attorney. Fontain Peyton is looking mighty wise these warm days. I was wondering to myself whether he has heard anything. You know that this disciple of Blackstone is very much like my old friend, Thomas Walker: neither talks much, but they do lots of thinking. *** I can hear nothing but praise for Judge Pugh of the Police Court. He is one man who is popular with all classes of citizens, excepting those whom he sends to Occoquan. There is nothing vicious about him. \*\*\* I want to congratulate my old friend, Royal Hughes. He made a hot witness before the Senate Wright Investigating Committee. He told the truth when he said that Judge Wright was correct in the Patterson case. Only three exceptions were taken. The compliment that Mr. Ross Perry paid Judge Wright came from an honest man. No lawyer at the bar stands higher than Mr. (Perry). Judge Wright is an able jurist and all of this tempest in a teapot will turn out to be a vindication for him. If every jurist's decisions are to be investigated, it is useless for a judge to render a decision. Miss Nannie H. Burroughs has returned to the city from the East, where she has been on business. Dr. George H. Richardson, who went to Greensboro, N. C., and delivered a lecture to the people and the A. and M. College, has returned to the city highly pleased with his visit. A Loyal Elk Resents Outside Interference. It has come to the attention of the Elks of the District of Columbia that a certain so-called prominent Odd Fellow, who is not even an Elk, has been unusually busy in trying to create sentiment against the election of Armond W. Scott for grand exalted ruler. He is so narrow-minded and prejudiced that he has drawn up a petition and has taken it to a number of prominent colored men, asking them to sign the same, protesting against Mr. Scott's election. It is sufficient to say that not a single one who was requested has signed the same. On the other hand, he has, in every instance, been told that they did not think that outsiders, who were not even members of the Order of Elks, should presume to interfere in this fight. He has also been told that if they were members of the order and delegates to the Norfolk Convention they would all vote for Mr. Scott. It is a well known fact that Mr. Scott is a delegate to the Odd Fellows' Biennial Convention, which convenes in Boston in September. It is also a well known fact that he has declared himself in favor of abolishing a number of useless offices which have been created in that order. And there is no question that this presumptuous activity on the part of this Odd Fellow is due to the anticipated stand which Mr. Scott will take against the continuance in office of certain Odd Fellows, when, he arrives in Boston. Mr. Scott only expects his support within the ranks of Elkdom, and there is no doubt that this THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN Continues to Grow in Popular Demand. The False Report of a Division in His Own Two District Delegations Is Branded as a Falsehood. Scott Is the Next Exalted Ruler of the Elks. ALL FOR SCOTT. All Washington Elks Solid. Editor The Bee: We, the undersigned duly elected delegates from Morning Star Lodge No. 40, and Columbia Lodge No. 85, of the Improved Benevolent Protective Order of Elks of the World, beg your indulgence, in order to correct a misrepresentation recently published against us in another paper. Our respective lodges elected us and instructed us to vote for Armond W. Scott at Norfolk for grand exalted ruler, first, last and all the time. We are not only expected to vote for him, but we are all for him at heart. Now, anybody who says and publishes that the delegates of the District of Columbia are going to Norfolk to vote for anybody except Armond W. Scott, says and publishes a statement which is not true. We all pride ourselves as being honorable Elks, and have regard for the truth, and would not violate the traditions of the order by becoming double-dealers. And nobody has been authorized to publish attempted outsider's interference will be fittingly resented in the almost unanimous vote which he will receive at Norfolk as the next grand exalted ruler. The grand lodge will be duly notified as to this attempted outsider's interference, and also of the prejudiced activity of certain defunct members of the Order of Elks, who have long since become unfinancial in their own lodges.

Attorney Jabez Lee, one of the best known members of the bar, was charged about three weeks ago in a petition for a rule to show cause why Mr. Lee should not be disbarred or dismissed from the bar, came up in Equity Court last Wednesday morning, Judge Wright presiding. Mr. Lee was charged with holding the funds of his client and refused to turn them over. The facts in the case are as follows: Mr. Bennett D. Dean made a loan on a piece of property to the amount of $115, secured by a deed of trust, ten notes of the face value of $10 and the eleventh and last note for $15, each note bearing interest at the rate of 6 per cent interest per annum. These notes were placed in the hands of Mr. Lee for collection, which the evidence showed and which the petition of Attorney Collins alleged. Mr. Lee in his petition stated the entire transaction and which showed, or pretend to anyone that the delegates from the District of Columbia to the next grand lodge of Elks at Norfolk will do otherwise than stand by their instructions and keep their word with their respective lodges in accordance with their promises. We commend The Washington Bee for its broadmindedness, and for its home pride, and we are convinced that its thirty-five years of successful existence is due largely to the fact that it has always felt that its first duty was to stand by the people of the District of Columbia.

The testimony further showed that Mr. Lee had given Mr. Dean a check for $60.17 in full payment for the money collected for Mr. Dean by Mr. Lee and Mr. Dean subsequently loaned it to Mr. Lee to pay on another piece of property for which Mr. Lee gave his one promissory note, which was admitted to be true, and upon which Mr Geo. F. Collins testified that he made a demand for payment Mr Lee testified that he offered to pay half of the note when Mr. Collins made a demand. THE BROOKLYN PRESS but this was denied by Mr. Collins, but the evidence did show, and as the court said, that the entire transaction showed no wrong doing on the part of Mr. Lee. Mr. Jabez Lee is one of the most progressive members of the bar and one of the leading members of the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church. He is a hard church worker and honest in every particular in dealing with the people. He has accumulated considerable property by thrift and industry and since he has been admitted to the bar there has never been a charge of wrong doing against him. Attorney W.

Washington.—Admiral George Dewey may take his old flagship, the Olympia, through the Panama canal next March in the naval parade. Rear Admiral Clark, retired, has been ordered to take command of his old ship, the Oregon, for the occasion, and Secretary Daniels said that he had decided to invite Admiral Dewey to take part. If the admiral does not feel like making the journey via the canal he may go overland to San Francisco and go aboard the Olympia upon the arrival of the pageant fleet there. The president and Secretary Daniels will make addresses upon the arrival of the fleet at the exposition city. It is likely that Admiral Dewey and Ad- P. B.

This will probably take the place of their annual cruise. The Oregon and the Olympia will be moored at a specially constructed wharf and will be on exhibition throughout the entire exposition. Behind them will be anchored seven typical modern naval ships—a Dreadnought of the New York or Oklahoma type, a battleship of the Connecticut or Minnesota type, an armored cruiser of the Tennessee or Montana type, one of the three scout cruisers, a destroyer, a submarine and a collier, each of the latest build. In addition, the entire Atlantic fleet will remain throughout nearly the whole of the exposition. GREAT GRANDSON OF POET A "SHAW BABY" Longfellow's Latest Descendant Named After English Satirist. Boston.—The stork has presented Mr. and Mrs. Edmund T. Dana with a son, and, although the newcomer is a great-grandson of the poet Longfellow, he has been named Shaw Dana, after the English satirist and Socialist, George Bernard Shaw. In addition to naming her firstborn after Mr. Shaw, Mrs. Dana intends to do the author further honor by bringing up her son according to the satirist's ideas. Mr. Shaw's notions were the other day made public through an essay on "Parents and Children" as a preface to his play "Mesalliance." Here are some of the novel ideas Mrs. Dana has adopted by naming her boy Shaw Dana: "Children are nulsances." "The family is a humbug." "The evidence shows it is easier to love the company of a dog than of a commonplace child between the age of six and the beginnings of controlled maturity." "If you compel an adult and a child to live in one another's company either the adult or the child will be miserable." "Go and see what the baby is doing and tell him he mustn't is the last word of the nursery." Both father and mother of the Dana baby are known as followers of Bernard Shaw. The bride was Miss Jessie Halliday, the noted English suffragette and portrait painter. CONVICT IS AN AD. WRITER. Made $900 Last Year and Expects $5,000 In 1914. Toronto.

Strange_Events Have Kept Dead Woman Traveling Back and Forth. London.-The strange story of an unburied body which is about to start on its sixth trip across the Atlantic is told by the Daly Telegraph's Berlin correspondent. A woman died in the United States last summer. Her newly married daughter and her son-in-law determined to inter the body in the mother's native place, Breslau. The cemetery authorities there demanded $1,250 for burial in the family vault, and, regarding the charge orbittant, the daughter decided to take the body back to America. Upon arriving at New York, however, she found awaiting her a letter to the effect that the controllers of the cemetery were prepared to reduce the price of a grave, whereupon she and her husband forthwith returned with the body to Breslau. There fresh differences of opinion arose, and, as there appeared to be no chance of agreement, the mother's body once more was transported to New York. Shortly after this the daughter and her husband became tired of the land of their adoption and made up their minds to repatriate themselves in Germany. Accordingly they packed up their personal belongings and, with the body of the mother, once more appeared in Breslau. Menwhile the difficulty with the proprietors of the cemetery was composed, and at last the much traveled body was consigned to the tomb. But even now it is not to be left in peace. The restless couple decided that after all the new world was better than the old and resolved to recross the Atlantic once more, taking with them the body of the mother. But the cemetery authorities refused to surrender the body, so the daughter took the case before the law courts. The first decision given was against her, but now, on appeal, she has obtained an order that her mother's body be delivered to her. Luck Saved Man's Life in British Columbia. McBride, B. C.—"Did y'ever lie on your back in the brush and shoot a wounded grizzly that was standing right above your head?" asked Joe Juneau, trapper, when he came here with his partner, Bert Wahl. "Well, it ain't so funny when you actually have to do it to escape getting hugged by the grizzly. Griggy huggin' is one kind I don't hanker for!" Joe Juneau had set out into the mountains looking for caribou. "I never met carlbon, nor nothin'," he sald, "till right on the edge of the timber I suddenly saw a big bear. Say, I cut loose with my rifle without thinkin' at all. It was a grizzly and a whopper. "I was so blame excited I fired again, though I could only see his head and shoulders. But I'd forgot my gun was still sighted for 100 yards, so of course I overshot him. But I guess I parted his hair all right, for he turned and charged right at me. "But suddenly his bearship changed his mind. He took a long circle, loping off through the meadow. Then I shot a third time and wounded him, too, but it only served to quicken his getaway. "However, this time I must 'a' got a little reckless, because I went right after him in spite of my creed not to follow a grizzly, especially a wounded grizzly, single handed. I followed the blood tracks into thick underbrush. Pretty soon it got so tight and tangled I had to get down on my hands and knees and crawl along, pushing my gun ahead of me. "I might 'a' knowed it would happen then. Suddenly I poked my head and shoulders through into a little clearing, and there was that grizzly, reared up right above me! "There wasn't no question about his intentions. It had to be dead grizzly or dead man in about the briefeest jiffy of time. I just rolled over on my back and I fired at him upside down! The brush was so thick above me that it would 'a' been impossible to get to my knees in time. "Say, if that grizzly had toppled over forward instead of backward he'd 'a' fallen square on top of me. That's how close we were. "But he fell backward all right. And for a time after I'd heard the crash I don't know which was the deadest, him or me! It was my first attempt to alm upside down. The scare sort of left me collapsed. But I'd hit him fair, under the chin and up through the mouth into the brain." WOLVES DROP IN FOR LUNCH. But They Weren't Hungry, For They Already Had Eaten a Parrot. Kansas City, Mo.—As George Wilson, a keeper at the Horne zoological arena, east of Independence, was eating his luncheon in the cooking house the door opened and in walked two big wolves. Wilson summoned help and selzed a club. The wolves were not the little, half hearted American kind, but the big Slberian variety, noted for their fierceness. They were not as hard to manage as they might have been, however, for they had already dined off some Plymouth Rock roosters and for dessert had eaten a ten dollar parrot. They were eventually driven back to their cage by Wilson and several others. The National Religious Training School, Durham, N.C.

Bush, the Founder—Dr. Washington Delivered the Welcome Address. Tuskegee Institute, Ala., July 24. The Mosaic Templars of America, the great distinctive Negro organization founded by John E. Bush, bearing the name of originality and leading the fraternal world, closed here today its triennial convention. Welcomed by Booker T. Washington in person, who approved of the Templars as one of the greatest achievements of freedom, the two thousand delegates and visitors left such praise of Tuskegee as only an amazed host could give. Quite the biggest convention of the rank and file of the colored people that Tuskegee has ever entertained the presence of so large and so important a body of men and women again indicated the growing importance of Tuskegee as the capital and convention center of colored people. One brother wedded to the ways of enthusiasm, wanted to make Tuskegee the permanent seat of all future conventions of the order. The sessions were held in the great auditorium of Tompkins Hall, while the public exercises took place in the Institute Chapel. The dress parade and exhibition drills of the uniform rank took place on the Battalion Field. The delegates came in specifid trains, and these trains numbered twenty-five coaches. States represented were Alabama, Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kansas, Georgia, Texas, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Kentucky, Mississippi and Virginia. Welcomed by Dr. Washington. The opening exercises, held in the spacious Chapel of the school, made an impressive scene. Seated together were Booker Washington, founder of Tuskegee, and John E. Bush, founder of the Mosaic. Grand Master Elliott brought forth hearty applause when he looked around and exclaimed: "We are in the midst of our kingdom; behold the two Negro kings." The speakers included Grand Master L. L. Powell, of Alabama, Rev. J. W. Goodgame, of Birmingham, Booker Washington, and John E. Bush, who delivered the response to the several welcome addresses. - Emmett J. Scott was master of Ceremonies and was happy as a fraternal spokesman. Reports Gratifying. The reports of the several officers were gratifying to all, delegates and visitors alike. Upon the completion of his report Grand Master Eliott, who succeeded the late William Alexander, who was murdered last November, was elected for a full term by acclamation upon motion of John E. Bush. The facts and figures presented by National Grand Scribe Bush proved the feature of the sessions, and the debates that ensued, showed a marked intelligence among the delegates. In thirty-two years the Mosaic Templars have grown from one temple and half a chamber to a general membership of 100,000. They have leaped the bounds of Arkansas and now embrace the nation. Figures Tell the Story. Figures Ten the Story. Mr. Bush reports that the income of the organization since 1911 aggregates $262,310.53, and the disbursements $198,307.34. The present assets of the order amount to $150,474.36. This figure includes the magnificent temple at Little Rock, valued at $60,000. In actual cash Mr. Bush reported as having on hand $64,003.19. In death claim alone the Mosaics have paid out, since the last triennial convention $96,648.27. The soundness of the organization was perhaps best shown in the new mortuary rate prepared by W. R. Halliday, the well-known Southern actuary, and submitted by Secretary Bush. Auditor and Lawyer Report. National Grand Auditor John H. McConico, the main prop of the older leaders of order, showed that a fraternity like any other business, thrives best under strictest business methods, while Scipio A. Jones, the celebrated Arkansas lawyer, who is the attorney general, reported a minimum of law-suits and a maximum of claims settled in the open according to rules and under the prevailing laws. The several State Grand Masters brought in flattering records of increased membership and financial resources in the various jurisdictions. According to Chester E. Bush, National Editor, the Mosaic Guide, the official organ, is one colored newspaper that really pays its expenses and makes a dime or two beyond its needs. The report of the National Medical Examiner, Dr. J. W. Darden, of Opelika, included a wise plan for increasing the health House & Herrmann of all kinds and description, House and Herrmann is the place to visit. There is no other house of its kind in the city where,the people can be satisfied. This is house hat will satisfy you. standard of colored people, and the delegates took more than passing interest in the expressed purpose of the Mosaic Templars to take the lead in teaching the people how to live. Notable Persons Present. The social features were not overlooked. The school tendered a banquet to the general officers on Monday evening, and on Friday evening a reception was given in honor of the delegates and visitors. Many notable men were present either as delegates or visitors. Judge Miflin W. Gibbs was the honored guest of the occasion and received the tribute of all. Bishop R. S. Williams, the distinguished leader of the C. M. E. Church, preached a moving sermon at the memorial services, and Sutton E. Griggs, the preacher and author, delivered a stirring address before one of the regular sessions. Among the prominent men present during the week were Bishop George W. Clinton, George M. Guest, of Texas; Rev. Dr. James Jones, of Arkansas; D. A. Hart, editor of the Nashville Globe; Dr. G. W. Mills, of Louisiana; E. H. Carry, of Little Rock; B. F. Booth, the distinguished Memphis lawyer; Dr. J. G. Ish; George W. Fowlkes, John W. Harris, Grand Master of Tennessee; L. L. Powell, Grand Master of Alabama; J. W. Laden, Grand Master of Missouri; P.

Weatherford, Grand Master of Texas; J. H. Sykes, Grand Master of Mississippi. Prominent Women Present. PROMINENT WOMEN PRESENT The Mosaic Templars know no sex in its representation, and among the delegates were many able women. Among those were: Mrs. J. E. Bush, Mrs. Jane Blakely, of Little Rock; Mrs. Betty Jackson, of Missouri; Mrs. C. C. Eakin, National Guardian; Mrs. M. J. Moore, Montgomery; Mrs. F. K. McPherson, Texas; Mrs. Annie T.

July 26. - Reports from more than one hundred cities indicate great public appreciation of THE PHOTO-DRAMA OF CRETION. This noble effort to turn attention back to the Word of God is having the desired effect wherever it is exhibited. No one can see it OCTOBER 2022 PASTOR RUSSELL is exhibited. No one can see it without having his heart irresistibly drawn toward the Giver of every good and perfect gift, who so loved the world as to give "His Only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him might not perish, but have everlasting life." Today Pastor Russell preached from the text, "So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God."—Luke 12:21. The Pastor began his discourse with the declaration that ours is the day of Wealth. Nothing to compare with it has ever been known in the world's history. Not merely have we discovered rich deposits of gold, silver and precious stones; not merely are these being mined in a provident and successful manner, with which nothing in the past could compare; but additionally the world is growing richer in every conceivable way. This statement was illustrated by reference to the growth of our cities in size and beauty, in sanitary conveniences, in spacious parks, in good, paved streets and boulevards; and to our industries, which are multiplying machinery perfected within the last fifty years and turning out products of convenience and value. These add greatly to the world's comfort and material wealth, and are not merely perishable articles such as clothing and bride-a-brac, but substantial edifices, etc. Vast Hbaries, both public and private, are being acquired. Many former luxuries are becoming almost necessities, because of the facility with which they are produced. All these things, and many others, constitute riches, one glance at which would amaze our ancestors. The speaker then asked a series of questions such as appeal to all thoughtful persons. Are we as a race, he inquired, growing rich toward God? Is not the very reverse true? Are not faith and godliness on the decline? Is it not true that within the last fifty years the love of money, which the Apostle declares is "a root of all evil," has intensified? Is it not true that financial greed has become so strong as to make necessary Pure-food Laws for the protection of the lives of the people—because life and health were in jeopardy? Attention was then called to the fact that, although we are better housed, better fed and better clothed than were our forefathers, yet there is a general condition of unrest, due to trust in riches. Despite all our modern safeguards of police and detective systems, despite our telegraph, telephone, etc., human lives and property are still in peril because of the hunger for wealth everywhere prevalent. "Whose Shall These Things Be?" The Pastor next discussed the parable from which his text is taken. In it our Lord pictures a man whose lines were fallen in pleasant places. The smiling sun and the genial showers prospered his undertakings, and his wealth grew apace. To him came opportunities for helping friends, neighbors and relatives less favored—opportunities for turning his material wealth to good account in the cultivation of the generous traits of his nature and thus for developing more and more the Divine character; for God scatters His blessings of sunshine and shower upon both the evil and the good. But instead of growing richer in character through the cultivation of noble qualities, this rich man permitted selfishness to dominate him. He pulled down his barns in order to build greater ones. Instead of dispensing the wealth which Divine providence permitted to flow into his lap, he accumulated more. Many, alas! today are following his example. These say to themselves, "I will accumulate wealth, and then will say to my soul, You have plenty; 'eat, drink and be merry.' Think not particularly of your less favored brethren and neighbors, nor of the hopelessly poor; live for yourself." Thus in the parable the Master has drawn a picture of practically every man in the world, some of whom are really dolg these things, and oth- ers of whom are longing for the opportunity to do so. Hear the Lord's Estimation. Commenting upon the Master's estimation of the foolish rich man, the Pastor asked, If the Lord declared that the rich man of the parable was a fool, what may we suppose is His estimate of the masses of humanity today—blessed as men never before were blessed, privileged as men never before were privileged, and therefore responsible as men never before were responsible for the use of money? Alas! he declared; we fear that the Lord is not well pleased with the world in its scramble for wealth, witnessed today on every hand. In our text the people of God of today have a reminder that all have the opportunity to cultivate the Christ-like spirit of generosity, helpfulness and brotherly-kindness. The speaker then demonstrated that the Lord does not address His reproof and admonition to the world, but merely to His Church—the consecrated few. The world, he declared, is about to learn a great lesson along this very line of selfishness. Having sown to the wind the seed of selfishness, it is about to reap a whirlwind of trouble, the fruitage of selfishness, in which the interests of rich and poor will clash in the conflict between Capital and Labor, between those who have secured wealth and those who will strive to take the wealth from them—"a Time of Trouble such as was not since there was a nation." Are any so blinded as not to see the awful growth of anarchy, he asked, which is gradually settling down upon the highest type of civilization to which the world has ever attained? Are there any so blinded as to be unable to perceive that the conflict will be along the lines of selfishness—desire to hold on the one part, and desire to acquire on the other? The Pastor explained that according to the Scriptures God is not now appealing to the world; for well He knows that so intense is the spirit of avarice that such an appeal would be useless. God is therefore permitting the world as a whole to learn its great lesson, that selfishness is an integral part of sin, even as love and benevolence are integral parts of righteousness. There is no doubt, he declared, that by the time the poor world shall have fully learned its lesson of the terrible results of selfishness it will be ready to cry out for Divine assistance. When that time comes, the speaker claimed, God's means of assistance will also be ready. The Messianic Kingdom will be inaugurated, and a Reign of Love will be established which will contrast sharply with present conditions, and which will bring blessed results of peace, love and good will amongst men. Since God is both loving and wise, we may reasonably assume, he believes, that there is no better way than this whirlwind of trouble for teaching the world its needed lesson on this subject. The Lesson to the Church. It was then shown that God's lessons are now for the Church—not the church nominal, which is merely a more civilized section of the world, but the Church real, the saliently people of God in and out of the various sects and parties, and of every nation, kindred and tongue. Anxious to know and to do the will of God, these receive special instruction such as the world is not prepared to receive. To these salient footstep followers of Jesus the Lord says, Let not your treasures be of an earthly kind. Rather, go to the opposite extreme, and spend and be spent in the interest of others, in the service of God, in the service of His Message of Love; and thus, along the lines of the Divine promises, seek for a share with the great Redeemer, not only in the sufferings and self-denials of the present life, but also in the glory, honor and immortality of the life to come. In support of his argument, the Pastor quoted many familiar passages of Scripture, such as "Therefore take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for your body, what ye shall put on. The life is more than meat, and the body than rilment." "Your Father knoweth what things ye have need of." Therefore, "Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you." "Fear not, little dock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the Kingdom. Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the 'heavens' that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." "Charge Them That Are Rich." A new light was thrown upon a familiar Scripture commonly applied to the worldly rich, but mistakenly so, if the Pastor, who is a most able Bible scholar, is correct in his opinion. He declared that when St. Paul wrote to Timothy, "Charge them that are rich in this world that they be not high-minded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God who give us richly all things to enjoy," the Apostle very evidently referred to some of the consecrated people of God who had wealth. This wealth these were to consider merely as a stewardship, not to be disposed of according to their own worldly caprices, and surely not according to the dictum of friends, neighbors and relatives. Whoever has given himself to the Lord must have consecrated all he has; else he is not accepted as Christ's discipline. The Pastor showed that the Apostle's charge to the brethren who possessed wealth is stated in the verses following the one under discussion—"that they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; laying up in store for the time to come, that they may in hold on eternal life." This he interprets to mean that those possessing wealth should be willing to share with others of the brethren as members of a community, somewhat along the lines of Christian communism. The word foundation, he declared, is here used in the same sense as when we say that a wealthy man gave a foundation of a million dollars for a college. His gift constitutes the basis for the carrying out of the college plans. Thus, the speaker explained, a Christian who generously uses in the Lord's service his financial stewardship is laying a foundation for the future—a foundation for spiritual wealth; and the more of time, influence and wealth any one can lay up thus in doing good, in forwarding the interests of the brethren and of the Lord's work, the more is that one piling up treasure in Heaven. The advantage of this procedure, he asserted, is that it helps to center the heart's affections on the things above, and to wean them from the things of earth; for where our treasure is, there will our hearts be also. And thus, says the Apostle, we shall be able to "lay hold on eternal life," now preffered to us. At first many are inclined to say, What difference does it make to the Lord what I do with my time, money, influence, talents? He is able to supply the needy without in the least impoverishing Himself. Why, then, should He desire His children, who are far from rich in the world's estimation, to sacrifice their little all of talent, money, time, influence? And why should He make this a test to determine whether or not they shall attain the Kingdom? What is the philosophy of it? The philosophy was declared to be this: As originally created in the Divine likeness man was tender-hearted, sympathetic. But after sin had entered the world and the strife for a living began, selfishness gradually became the predominant influence, producing hard-heartedness—carelessness of the interests of others—self-love. "Take Away the Stony Heart." The speaker pointed out that during the thousand years of Messiah's Reign Satan will be bound, his allurements ended and the curse lifted. Then the earth will yield its increase. The stress being removed, it will be easier for mankind to learn the lessons of love and brotherly-kindness, and to rise out of their present condition of meanness, hard-heartedness and selfishness—back to the glorious image of God. This will mean the dissolving of the stony-heartedness of the human race; or, as the Scriptures put it, the Lord "will take away the stony heart out of their flesh, and give them a heart of flesh"—a heart of sympathy. All who then refuse to return to harmony with God will be destroyed in the Second Death, as set forth in Acts 3:19-23. It was pointed out, however, that while such a restitution under the favorable conditions of the Messianic Kingdom is God's provision for the world, He has a different provision for the Church, now being called and proven. By nature their hearts were hard and selfish, and, as the Apostle says, they "were children of wrath, even as others." But the fact that God has called these to joint-heelship with His Son in the glorious Kingdom that is shortly to bless the world does not signify that He will accept them in their natural condition of hard-heartedness and selfishness. On the contrary, if the Church are to be the kings, priests and judges of the world, in association with their Lord and Head, the great King, it is readily seen that they must be rld of this condition themselves before they can properly be capable of helping the world up out of its hard-heartedness. "We Walk by Faith." Several differences were pointed out between the Lord's dealings with the Church at the present time and His dealings with the world by and by. These differences are due to the fact that the Church are called to so high an honor; and correspondingly it is appropriate that they should manifest more love and zeal than will be expected of the world. To illustrate: The Church must walk by faith and not by sight; they must voluntarily accept the Lord's providences, and voluntarily co-operate with Him in putting away the stony heart, accepting instead the Spirit of the Lord—a spirit of love, kindness, gentleness, meekness, patience and long-suffering toward all. Moreover, during the thousand years of the world's recovery from sin, selfishness and hard-heartedness, doubtless each individual will have several centuries for his gradual development. But the Father seeks in the Church class those who will give such heed to His instructions, and show such earnestness in copying His character, that they will succeed in attaining a heart condition of tenderness, sympathy and love like unto that of the Heavenly Father, in the present years of their Christian experience. The discourse closed with an earnest exhortation that all who are the Lord's gird up the loins of their minds, determining that with His help they will be rich toward God; that each think less and less of earthly riches, and more and more prize the Kingdom which the Lord has promised to His faithful ones. All who attain this Kingdom will be rich toward God in the highest sense. Not only will they be rich in the possession of the highest prize that God has to give—His very best—but: rich in His character-likeness, rich in experience, rich in faith, rich in benevolence, rich in all that is good and great, however poor they may have been in earthly goods at the end of their course. PHILIPPINES TO BE FREE SOON TO ABOLISH COMMISSION. Administration Measure Laid Before Congress—Sanate Provided For. Christian Provinces to Possess Suffrage—Non-Christian Tribes to Vote Through Appointees of Governor. Washington.—A plan, approved by the administration, for a more autonomous government in the Philippines as another step toward independence was laid before congress when Representative Jones of Virginia introduced a bill covering the subject. Mr. Jones is chairman of the house insular committee, and his measure, declaring the purpose of the people of the United States as to the future political status of the Filipinos, follows a long series of conferences with President Wilson, Secretary Garrison, Manuel Quezon, the Philippine resident commissioner to the United States, and Democratic members of the insular committee. Supporters of the measure do not expect it to get favorable action by congress at this session, but are hopeful of action at the December session. The bill is designed to carry out the declarations of the Baltimore platform. The bill makes no attempt to fix a date for Philippine independence, but asserts that it always has been the purpose to recognize the independence of the Philippine Islands "as soon as a stable government could be established therein." Mr. Jones, explaining his Philippine bill, said: "Generally speaking, the bill provides for the Philippine Islands the most liberal form of a territorial government. Its principal features, affect- A. H. Photo by American Press Association. REPRESENTATIVE JONES OF VIRGINIA ing the more important changes in the existing organic act, are those, relating to the enlarged powers conferred upon the governor general and the 'abolition of the present Phillipine commission as such and the substitution thereof of a senate the members of which representing Christian provinces shall be elected by popular vote. "The non-Christian tribes are to be represented in the legislature by two senators and nine representatives appointed by the governor general. The only officials to be appointed by the president are the governor general and the members of the supreme court. The governor general is given a limited power of veto over the acts of the legislature, but the president would have the power of absolute veto. "The right to vote is confined to citizens of the islands, and the educational qualification of the present law is so enlarged as to embrace those who can read and write a native language instead of English or Spanish, as at present. "Two resident commissioners to the United States are to be elected by popular vote." Speaking for the Filipinos, Resident Commissioner Quezon, an active advocate of Philippine independence for years, gave the bill his approval. "It represents," he said, "far less than ought to have been considered, but I strongly favor its enactment because it is a step in the right direction." THIS IS THE CHAMPION MISER Iowa Man Was "Panhandling" and Had $1,507 All the Time. Clinton. Ia.—"Bumming" a nickel from a stranger with which to purchase tobacco. J. J. McGuire qualified as the champion miser of this vicinity, for when he was later taken to the county jail and searched it was found that he had cash and bank certificates of deposit amounting to a total of $1,507.30 on his person. McGuire was arrested on a charge of intoxication and peddling without a license. He had twenty-two cheap razors, which he had been peddling in the railroad yards.

(Baltimore Southern Methodist.) We have heard of dead people, dead beasts, dead trees and dead flowers, but is there such a thing as a dead sea, and why do they call it dead? There is, and they call it dead because it receives all and gives nothing. This body of water—the most remarkable in the world—is at the southern end of the Jordan valley in Palestine. It is 47 miles long and 10 miles wide, is 1,292 feet below the sea level and is in one of the hottest regions on earth. It receives 5,000,000 tons of water daily into its bosom from the Jordan River, but gives none out to refresh and nourish the valley below, which has become an arid desert on account of the close-fistedness of the sea. Its water is five times as salty as the ocean, is bitter to the taste, oil to the touch and leaves a yellow stain. No fish live in its water, no flowers bloom or fruit grow on its shores, no birds sing in its neighborhood. Its barkless driftwood and shores are encrusted with salt. Its setting is a scene of desolation and gloom, looking as if the curse of God rested on all the region. It is a striking emblem of the selfish life. Selfishness is at the base of all sin. The world soon forgets the man who thinks only of himself. There are no selfish heroes. The gates of glory are forever closed against the man who lives for himself alone. He who would save his life must lose it, and he who would be remembered by others must forget himself. Life comes through death and true greatness through service. Miss Mason on High Seas. Miss Anna M. Mason, one of the best known teachers in the public schools, writes to The Bee that she has been on the high seas since July 4. After a few hours stop at Naples, she landed at Genoa, Italy, and will visit France soon and remain until September. WEST WASHINGTON. The special sermon to the Help and Hand Club of Ebenezer A. M. E. Church by Rev. Tyler on Sunday afternoon was a real treat to those present. Two clubs from the First Baptist Church were present. Mrs. J. Burless Tucker, president, and Rev. W. Naylor, pastor. The funeral of Mrs. Lucy Johnson from the First Baptist Church, of which she was a member for more than thirty years, was largely attended. The Grand Order of Salem and other organizations were present. Many floral offerings were made. Rev. E. E. Ricks officiated, assisted by Rev. George Jacobs. Interment in Mt. Zion Cemetery. The Junior Choir, of Mt. Zion M. E. Church, is rendering the music for the service during the vacation of the senior choir under the direction of Mr. James L. Turner and Mrs. Mary Barnes, organist. Mrs. Lillie G. Williams, of P Street, has left for the Virginia shore to enjoy her vacation. Mr. John Bunday and wife, of Pittsburg, Pa., are stopping with his mother, of Dunbarton Avenue. Baptist Ministers' Conference. Monday was red letter day at the Baptist Ministers' Conference of the District of Columbia. The attendance was large. Everyone was interested. The speeches by the ministers, here and out of town, were of the ordinary and elicited much praise. Rev. Dr. Pine, of New York, was the star speaker. The response-by Rev. J. Harvey Randolph was a gem in the best sense of the word. Rev. M. W. D. Norman, the distinguished president of the Conference, presided with becoming dignity. A splendid dinner was provided by the ladies of the Stoddard Baptist Old Folks' Home.. Most of the churches were represented at the meeting of the trustees and Woman's Auxiliary Board of the Stoddard Baptist Old Folks' Home. 1. 1221 Water St. S. E. their purpose being to erect a new home on the beautiful lot of the Conference on Bryant Street, between Third and Fourth Streets Northwest. Rev. William J. Howard made the speech of his life, in his great address, "A Denominational Home and Why." We congratulate "The Bee" of Washington, D. C., in having reached another milestone of its earthly existence. "The Bee" is all right in its place, but it can sting and has stung many who have tried to handle it without due caution and once aroused it has "chased" its opponents and antagonists until they have cried out, "I yield, I cannot hold out any longer." Long live "The Bee," long live Editor Chase, and may we never have to "Advance" upon "The Bee" and have to take away its sting. Far from it is our prayer. May "The Bee" live long to sting its enemies. Rosenwald Builds Another Colored Y. M. C. A. Julius Rosenwald, of Chicago, has sent his check for $25,000 toward the erection of a building for Negro men by the Young Men's Christian Association of Kansas City. This is the fifth city to receive a like sum for Young Men's Christian Association buildings for Negroes. Besides Kansas City, they are Washington, Philadelphia, Indianapolis and Chicago. Indianapolis Leader. Negro Business League. The local branch of the Negro Business League met at the Y. M. C. A. Hall on Monday night. President Freeman presided. PARAGRAPHIC NEWS. Colored men have stood bravely by the flag in all the important military battles fought by the United States. In the taking of Vera Cruz recently by the United States there were twenty Negro men with the battalion of bluejackets that were first landed. They fought unceasingly in the face of death, until the Mexican city was captured by the United States. After the fighting was over, the Negro soldiers remained on the shore, preserving order. One of the number was slightly injured, but all stayed and proved the general calibre of Negro soldiers, notwithstanding the intense heat and the scarcity of water. A. B. Johnson is employed at the Tak-a-You-Sha Hotel, Far Rockaway, L. I. He is the only colored employee, but his employer has such implicit confidence in him that recently young Johnson was made night clerk, which carries the responsibility of being in charge of the hotel from 7. p. m. until 7. a. m. Several white employees are subordinate to the night clerk. A New Home for the Juvenile Court. The Juvenile Court, formerly at 1816 F Street Northwest, is to have new quarters about September 1, at 203 Eye Street Northwest, a four-story and basement brick, the former residence of Gen.

The large gray horned snails, served steaming hot, floating in olive oil, salt, pepper and onions, is considered a great dish. Then there is the snail stew, similar to oyster stew. It is very good and is said to be an excellent remedy for tuberculosis. City Commissioner Brewster, of Portland, Ore., after hearing a child's plea for her dog, which had been impounded, agreed to pay the $4 for the dog's release. A New York youth has gone into the business of furnishing his blood for transfusion purposes, and at $30 a quart he has earned $120 in the last four months. Miss Lulu Howe, of Newfane, Vt., has a hen hawk that measures four feet seven inches from tip to tip of its wings.

The Committee on Appropriations in the House of Representatives has given Harvard University $99,000 of the $101,000 asked.

We've made life-long friends and customers of hundreds of young couples because we gave them a square deal and an unusual amount of help when they needed furniture for their first home. We realize how they want to begin married life with home surroundings that are pretty and comfortable, and of course they know the economy of good qualities. But it's a rather big proposition to buy a complete outfit of really high-class furnishings, and that's why we say the young folks should come to us. We consider all these conditions and allow them credit privileges which enable them to have the things they want, and to have them at once. No advantage is taken of their need for this extra help, for every article in our store is price-marked in plain figures and not a penny is added because of liberal terms. Come to us—tell us what you can afford to pay in the beginning—and we'll arrange an account to suit you without notes or interest charges. Our Credit Accommodation Brings Home Comfort.
