Washington Bee

IF IT'S NEWS, IT'S IN THE BEE, FOR THE BEE IS A NEWSPAPER. THE BEE WASHINGTON Washington's Best and Leading Negro Newspaper-That's THE BEE VOL. XXXVI, NO. 3 WASHINGTON, D.C. SATURDAY, JUNE 19, 1915 THE NEW ASBUSY THE NEW ASBUSY One of Washington's Oldest Landmark Torn Down—What Was Found in the Cornerstone When Church Was First Erected—Rev. M. W. Clive to Build New Structure W. Clair to Build a New Structure. Years ago, when the vicinity of Eleventh and K streets northwest and the entire northwest was a wilderness, and mud in the streets during rainy weather was a foot deep, Ashery Church was erected, which stood for years at the southwest corner of Eleventh and K streets. It was one of the worshipping houses for the oldest inhabitants. The sound of the voices of many celebrated singers could be heard and prayer meetings often before daylight often disturbed the quiet rest of the neighborhood. Joseph Ambush was the leader of the choir and the school teacher, who taught his school next to 922 Eleventh, right back of the church. That was a frame structure. It was known as Asley Hall. After the death of Asley Ambush, Professor Wilson, formerly the late cashier of the defunct Freedmen's Savings Bank, taught school in this hall for a time. Joseph Ambush was in his glory. He was succeeded by Professor Bell, who for a long time led the choir. In the neighborhood resided the sexton, Old Man Seymour. He resided in the vicinity of 919 Eleventh street northwest. There lived old man Dick, Gwen, Bill Boner, old man Mitchell's wife, and his daughters. At the southeast corner of Eleventh and K northwest lived William Riel and his brother and mother. All of the old heads have passed away except George Johnson at 920 Eleventh street. His wife and mother-in-law have all gone. Old Ashery has been a landmark for years. There have been many changes since Pearl M. W. Clayton Rev. M W Claire the erection of this church. Green was at one time the choir leader, Miss Essie Woodrow Jarris has been the organist at this church for a number of years. Mrs. Jarvis is still an accomplished organist, and has been able to hold her own under all conditions. The Bee can not forget dear Sedonia Bell, as she was called in those days. Mr. Clark and Mrs. Clark, all of whom sang in the choir. It was considered the greatest choir in the city. There have been many distinguished ministers at this church whom have all passed away. Among those who stood high were Rev. R. H. Robinson, Dr. Foreman, Rev. Thomas, Rev. Peck, and others. The most successful minister who has ever been to Asbury is Rev. M. W. Clure, the present pastor. Just prior to his coming to this church there was a great split, about one-half of its membership left and started a new church, known as the People's Congregational Church. M between Sixth and Seventh streets northwest. Rev. Clure was sent to Asbury to redeem the "lust cause." Since he has been his pastor, he has not only double the number that left, but he is going to erect a one hundred thousand dollar church the most modern and most commending church in this city. He is surrounded and has associated with him men and women of education, and a class of workers that is an honor to any church. Rev. Clair should be remembered in a substantial way. Not only should his salary be raised, but he should be given a life pension. There is no man better liked or esteemed. There is not a more progressive minister in this city. Let there be a club organized in this church to be known as the Clair Pension Fund, and when the new church is completed let there be a fund presented to him commensurate with his merits. Stand this movement at once. The Old Church. The old structure has been torn down, and a new church will be erected. In the corner-stone of the first Asbury church were found many old relics. One was a copy of the National Intelligencer, the oldest paper then published in the city, in which is found a report of the laying of the first corner,stone of Asbury Church. LAYING OF THE CORNER-STONE OF A COLORED CHURCH. OF A COLORED CHURCH. From the National Intelligence, Monday, Aug. 6, 1566. The laying of the corner-stone of the new church edifice of the Ashbury M. E. Church, on the corner of K and Eleventh streets, yesterday afternoon, attracted a very great concourse of people, and the ceremonies were conducted in a very intelligent and impressive manner. and impressive manner. The ceremonies were conducted by Rev. Benjamin Brown, Presiding Elder, assisted by Rev. Richard P. Bell, pastor of the church. Rev. John Brice, pastor of the Sharp Street Church, Baltimore; Rev. Stephen Tasker, of the Orchard Street Church, Baltimore; Rev. Robert H. Robinson, Ebenezer Church, Capitol Hill; Rev. Nathuniel Carroll, Mount Zion, Georgetown; Rev. John M, Brown, A. M. E. Church; Rev. Hyland Garnet, First Presbyterian. Rev. Stephen Tasker, of Orchard Street Church, Baltimore; Rev. Nathaniel Carroll, Mt. Zion. Georgetown; Rev. Robert H. Robinson, Ebonezer Church, Capitol Hill; Rev. John M. Brown, A. M. E. Church; Rev. Hyland Garnett, First Presbyterian Church; Rev. Singleton Jones, and Rev. Jas. A. Jones, of the Western M. E. Church. The exercises were substantially as follows: The lesson appropriate to the occasion read by Presiding Elder Rev. Benjamin Brown; 659th hymn of the Methodist collection read by Rev. Mr. Carroll and sung by the choir; prayer by Rev. Mr. Brice; 132nd Psalm read alternately by the pastor and the congregation; 3rd chapter Corinthians, 9th to 23rd verse read by Rev. Mr. Bell; sermon by presiding elder; text, Revelations, 2nd chapter, 17th verse: To him that overcometh evil will I give to eat of the hidden manna. Text, Revelation: "To him that overcometh evil will I give to eat the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written which no man knoweth save He that nameth it." The sermon was a clear, intelligent, and forcible exposition and enforcement of the sentiment of the text. A collection was then taken, which amounted to $187; to aid in the enterprise. The box was then deposited in due form by the pastor, assisted by the builder, in the northeast corner of the church. It contained a copy of the Bible, of the Discipline, Hymn Book, Christian Advocate, Methodist Almanac, 1866, names of all the church officers, and of the teachers of the Sabbath School, subscribers to the erection of the church, gold, silver, and copper American coin, &c. This new church, the ground for which was broken on the 25th day of July last, is to be raised upon the site of the old Abbey Church, which was built: Out East, years ago. The new church is to be built of the best red brick, with pressed front, 68 by 48 feet. The basement, entirely above the ground, will be 10 feet in the clear, and the audience room 23 feet in the clear. The cost is estimated at $15,000. The contract requires it to be finished by the first of December. They have already collected $6,000. The society is in an exceedingly flourishing condition, and there is no doubt that the full amount required will be collected before it is demanded. Since the present pastor came into charge of the church 140 have been added to its membership, making its number now 638 members. The congregation now worships in the school building on the lot adjoining that of the church and which was erected by this society some twenty years ago, and which has always been maintained by them for a school. The Sabbath School numbers more than 250, and they are making great proficiency in catechism, nearly all being able to read. The interesting exercises were closed with the blessing by Rev. Mr. Brice, doxology sung by the congregation, and benediction by the pastor, Rev. Mr. Brown. Old Workers. Many of the old workers, such as Benjamin McCoy, the Hickinnans, the Hamiltonons, Frank Gibson, Wm. II. Thomas, Perry Riley, and others, have passed away. PUBLIC SCHOOL EXERCISES. Exhibition and Graduating Exercises— Many Good Speeches—Lawn Party, Etc. Arlington, Va., June 15. Highly creditable were the exhibitions of the industrial work by the Colored public schools of Alexandria County, exhibited at the St. John's Baptist Church of Arlington, Va., June 15th. The various kinds of work were displayed in the Sunday School room of the church, each school having its name displayed over its exhibit. The five schools—Sumner, Kemper, Jefferson, St. John's, and Scott's—each captured some of the prizes offered for the best specimens in the different lines on view. Featuring this exhibition was a spelling contest, declaration contest, and a singing contest, a musical trophy being offered for the last-named contest, and won by the Kemper school. In the evening, at 8 o'clock, four pupils from the Kemper school received diplomas as graduates of the 8th grade to the high schools. Those receiving diplomas being Margaret Yolando West, Mary Jane Fountain, Samuel Brown, and Henson Thompson. Each of the students received a memento from their teacher, Miss Ella M. Boston, the presentation of the diplomas being by Mr. W. A. E. McShea, Secretary of the Arlington School Board, and the souvenirs by Dr. C. W. Childs, member of the Board of Education of Washington, D. C. Dr. Childs delivered the oration to the graduates, and timely remarks were added by Mr. McShea, Prof. Davis of New Jersey, Rev. E. R. Jackson, and Noble N. Thomas, Prof. W. T. Hodges, Superintendent of the Public Schools of the County, presided. Rev. J. D. Palr, pastor of WASHINGTON, D.C., SATURDAY, JUNE 19, 1915 DR. J. E.

Just before his retirement from the head of the diplomatic service Mr. Bryan sighed the commission of Dr. J. E. Jones of this city as United States consul at Lyon, France. Dr. Jones has filled the office of consul general at Genoa since September, 1913, and distinguished himself during the early days of the war by his successful efforts in securing transportation home for many Americans stranded in Europe. His transfer to the Lyon consulate carries an increased compensation of $500 a year, and was made at the request of Dr. Jones and his friends. Dr. Jones will assume the duties of the new office in a short time, and then will be granted leave of absence in order to permit him to visit this city. The Lyon consulate has been va cant since the death of Fredrick Van Dyne.-Evening Star, June 16. the church, pronounced the invocation and the hepediction. Sunday, June 13, was red letter day for the St. John's Baptist Sunday School of Arlington, Va. This being the anniversary of the school, as a fitting climax to the event the competition between the boys and girls was decided. Since the first Sunday in May the fields have been gleaned by these two forces, the girls under the leadership of Miss Virginia Johnson, assistant superintendent, and the boys led by Mr. Noble N. Thomas, the superintendent of the school. Great was the tension and many were the claims as to which side would be the winner, and when Sunday, June 12th, rolled around, many anxious hearts awaited the hour when the decision would be announced. Rev. M. W. Clair was invited to preach the sermon to the school. Suffice it to say that long will all Arlington remember with keenest delight and pleasure the eloquent sermon preached by this great divine. Appeals were made for the girls by Mrs Charity Jackson, Miss Mary V. Page, and others; and for the boys by Mr. Wm. Walker, Mr. Fred W. Ewell, and others. Generous was the response by both sides, but the bulk of this work had already been done by both boys and girls in the many lawn parties, concerts, and other entertainments given for this fund. A lawn party at the home of Mrs. Louise P. Lee, and concerts at the church by both sides, had all been especially successful. With bated breath each side stood as Mrs. Wm. Walker advanced to the rostrum to announce the result. Pandemium reigned in the camp of the girls when she declared that by virtue of their raising $91.65 to $76.02 for the boys, they were the winners of the contest. Special mention must be given Miss Florence V. Johnson and Miss Emma B. Holmes for the assistance they gave the cause of the girls, and to Mr. Park C. Syphax for his earnest efforts in behalf of the boys. Rev. J. D. Pain died fighting for the boys. The officers of the school are as follows: Noble N. Thomas, superintendent; Virginia Johnson, assistant superintendent; Martha Gray, assistant superintendent; Florence V.

When you have accepted from your friends their aid and comfort when you are unable to do for yourself, you should not forget in the day of prosperity that you owe $\textcircled{2}$ debt of gratitude to your benefactors. Some people don't seem to realize that their first debt of gratitude is to those who have helped you. Ingratitude is often found among public men who have accepted favors from those who are able to serve you. Very often when a person has been placed in a high office by the influence of others he forgets his benefactors. Such persons meet their Waterloo. Don't despair. The Classification of Jitneys From the Evening Star, June 17. When the jitney proposition was first broached here The Star urged that the public utilities commission should take these vehicles under their direct jurisdiction and regulation, as common carriers, running approximately on routes and schedules. The parallel between the street cars and the jitneys on the one side and the taxicabs and the jitneys on the other was pointed out as a reason why the new form of conveyance should be regulated as the commission regulates already the cars, and is undertaking by measures that have been challenged in the court to regulate the other. Thus far, however, the commission has been reluctant to put the jitney in the category of a public utility, and these vehicles are running around town with virtual freedom from all but the ordinary rules of traffic, charging fares and carrying loads according to their own will. Now a question arises which may prove seriously embarrassing to the commission. A delegation of colored citizens enters protest that members of their race are excluded from jitneys, and they demand that the vehicles be placed under regulation as common carriers. Should their demand be heeded it will be impossible to exclude any applicant for a ride on a jitney. Only by keeping the jitneys in the category of unregulated private vehicles operating at the will of the driver and without restriction as to rates and routes can the commissioners prevent the colored people from acquiring equal rights with the whites in their use. Occupying, as it does, a middle ground between the street car and the taxicab, the jitney is undoubtedly a common carrier if, as the commissioners urge, the taxicab is. Should they deny the plea of the colored people for free access to the jitneys as public utilities they unquestionably weaken their contention that the taxicab is a common carrier and subject to regulation as to rates. This matter cannot be indefinitely postponed, even though it may be the commissioners' public-spirited desire to give the jitneys opportunity to establish themselves for the sake of the public convenience which they undoubtedly afford. YOUNG LAWYERS WIN VICTORY. Attorneys Tignor and Ford Acquit Client Charged with Twenty-year Offense—First Trial of Its Kind During Present Session of Court—Friends of Defendant Shower Lawyers with Congratulations. Attorneys Harry L. Tignor and Charles P. Ford, two of the younger members of the bar, scored a signal success on Tuesday lastin the criminal branch of the District Supreme Court, when they secured the acquittal of Laura Upshur, recently indicted by the grand jury for violation of section S13 of the code, which prohibits the enticing of minors for the purposes of prostitution. The case attracted unusual attention owing to the fact that it was the HENRY L. TIGNOR, Esq. first case first case of the present session of court that has involved this section of the criminal law, and was generally considered a part of the crusade which aims to put an end to commercialized vice in this community. Four witnesses were offered in support of the government's contention, and each in turn was put through a severe cross examination by the defendant's lawyers. At the close of this this testimony Attorney Tignor asked the Court to instruct the jury to render a verdict of not guilty. The CHARLES P. FORD. Esq. motion was granted and the verdict was received. Attorney Ford thereupon moved that the defendant be charged, and the Court ordered her release immediately. Chief Justice Covington presided at the trial, and Assistant United States District Attorney Hawken represented the government in the case. Attorneys Tignor and Ford also appeared on Wednesday last for Andrew Wells, indicted for murder in the second degree, but after a consultation between them and the District Attorney, it was agreed to have the defendant enter a plea of guilty to manslaughter, and he was remanded for sentence.

Here is a little de lux flirting story I caught on the rebound Sunday around the fringes of Muechia Club society. For the present I will with- hold the dramatis personae in the little game of flirt de lux Suffice to say both are quite prominent in chlo- mate social circles. How the story leaked out heaven's knows. Terrance's (that is not his right name) wife had gone on a short visit out of town. The ten room house, more or less, weighed upon him—it was so lonely without wifey. After trying in vain to distract some real, never-before heard news out of Bryan's resignation, and the war news reports, Ter- rance decided to take a stroll over Fourteenth street. Within a block of You street he noticed a fin de siecle partridge just ahead of him. He fol- owed, sort of nonchally, doncher- know. Suddenly he stopped to gaze into a store window. Gazing at a reflection in the window pane, he found her more attractive than he had pre- sumed from a rear-end view. Raising his straw stack he said, "Beg pardon, but did we not meet at one of the dances this winter?" She turned and glued her peepers on him, and said, sort of purred, "I have no minute recollection, but I would like to know why you have been following me for the last few minutes?" He hummed and hawed. Then she continued, "You surely did not think we were acquainted. What would your wife think?" "My wife," he stummered, as to give the impression that he was heartthrodd and fancy free. "You cannot deny that you are married, nor that you have the sweetest little bunch of crinolin in your dancing club; you dare not." "Do you know her?" He practically plead guilty of being married. "Yes," she replied, with a piquant smile stealing over her highbrown complexion. "I was at the same boardhouse with her for two weeks at Atlantic City last summer. You did not see me, for I was sort of on the bum, and did not leave my room, when you came over for the week's end; but I used to watch you from my window, and observed how you adored her—in public." He was flabergasted, but he took heart long enough to question mark: "But do tell me who you are, I should like to know; and my wife will be delighted to know I have met you, I'm sure. You know," with just a suspicion of advancement, "she is away now, and I'm keeping bachelor's hall, upon my herat, nobody in the house but me." She broke into a ripple of laughter, one of them there low, sweet, hypnotizing gurles that imprisons a fellow when his wife's away, and the house from cellar to garret is all his to room through exclusively. "Ch, you foolish fellow," she said, "you are out for a catch, aint you?" "Well, I'm lonely," he hesitated. "Yes, you are always lonely when your wife's away, I know; and from all I hear you usually break the speed record in locating some bunch of Swiss cheese cloth to break that loneliness just as soon as her train pulls out of the station." He smiled a convicted smile, and said, "Could you blame me if I located a peach like you to break the monotony of loathness?" She hurried again one of those hypnotizing gurps, and then vawned. Mr. Mucilage member thought he had her at the mourner's bench now, so he broke right in with, "Say, what do you say to a little stroll and a ride over as far as—well, some point in Maryland?" "No auto ride for yours truly," she snuckered. "I'm afraid one of the wheels might buck, and the carburetor go on strike, and the thing dump us out, and then it would be the town talk, and mebbe both of us would have to go to the hospital for repairs." "How about taking an electric car?" he snuckered. Then she broke out into a ripple of laughter, and said, "Don't you know, you have helped me to win a ten dollar bet?" "How?" lie question marked. How: he question marked. "Why, I bet my hubble that if I came out of the street I could attract the first Musselie joiner I met, and he would fall for my soft talk and winning smile, and he bet a tenner no man would notice me." Terrance lost his speech. Again he lifted his straw stack, and said, sadly and fearingly, "Good day." Now, all this happened as narrated, and you would be surprised if I would case over to you Terrance's right name—his standing in the upper crust social circles. And his wiley, if she heard of it would hunt up either Tom Jones or Arnold Scott,ainer for bringing divorce proceedings. but I won't peach on him this time: just content myself with warning Terrance he had better stop his flirting, cause murder wall out, and folks around this berg will gossip." Three young fellows, and they are strikebreakers in society, sat at a table at Aaron's thrist reservoir last Saturday afternoon, hitting their coffin nails and slipping, at random, highballs and just plain beer. "Boys, I've got a confession to make," said one of them. "I'm goin' to hand it out straight. You know we had an agreement regarding Minette Lillywhite. I've broke it. I've been giving her more valuable souvenirs than our agreement called for. I've several times slipped her a fiver and a tenner for ribbons and chocolate bon bons, you know." "The others looked daggers at him. Then number two broke in with: "Well, you ain't the solitair, I've done the same thing." "And me, too," choked the third. "Well then she has been playing us all three for a sucker, say that we all three quit the trail, and give her the go by." "Agreed," joined the other two. Then they ordered up three more rounds of highballs, and tipped the waiter to ten cents for his afternoon's courtesy to them, after which they left Aaron's and separated. In a few minutes thereafter number one pulled up at a certain house not over four thousand miles away. Minette received him graciously. He fell for her smiles and con game—he was snared again. He hadn't been there long—just long enough to forget the compact to dump this rosy-cheeked (roses made of paint) vampire, when the bell rang. Minette went to the door. "Hello, Minette," number one heard a voice say. He recognized it as that which was the property of number two to the compact. He slid into the next room behind a portler. Number two came in, hit Minette a sohar-plexus blow with a 42-centimeter kiss, and sat down. Number one heard the report and trembled. Number two and Minette sat and talked for a few minutes. Number heard her thank him for a yellow-back ten spot. He grit his teeth. Zounds! the bell rings again. Minette answers the cerfew call. By the voice both number one and number two recognized it as that of number three to the compact to quit Minette. Number two makes a steal for the back room and the same pair of portlers. He runs amuck of number one, who says: "Sh! Sh!!" Number three enters, trains his hairless lip for a breeze against Minette's ruby pair, and then sit down. Pretty soon number one and number two heard her say: "Oh you are so nice and considerate, giving me this bit of paper that's redemable in a gold ten piece." He softly said: "Oh Minette, I'm just showing you that I'm no piker, if other two guys are." Just then the main squeeze, a piano and two. Both emerged from behind the porters and entered the parlor, and in chorus said: "How about our agreement less than an hour ago?" Just then the mai squeeze, a pianoplayer who usually spends Minette's loose change, entered. On seeing the three ashy-faced skates who thought they had been fooling each other, he made a grand rust—one of them center rushes—and all three went out the front door on their heads. Now this ain't no made-up story. It's the real goods, and if them there three young dudes, scolons of three of the "best famlies," don't mend their ways, and quit blowing their monthly stipends on Minette Lilywhite, I'm just going to print their names all in a row, and then there will be another breeze in hifalutin society, just take it from me. I see that Brother Quill-driver Thompson, who never reads this column, only semi-occasionally, is still writing dope about Rosco, and it ain't no patronizing kind either. Dick just opens the throttle, and lets his engine go down the grade at a ninety-mile pace. Well, there's a reason, I suspect. And Brother Calvin does the generous thing by reproducing some of it. You know that little verse about Mulligan—"off agin, on agin, gone again, Mulligan." Well the way Brother Calvin and Brother Dick break, make up, break and make up again is a puzzle to most the diggers for gossip nuggets around here. But I'm just breaking it to you that you can't keep born and bred newspaper men apart. They get all "het" up and cuss each other, and then after a while they drink to each other's health. You see newspaper guys are sort of Bohemians who always find some common ground to stand on once in a while, and they can pour more hot shot into each other and then make up than any other animals loose. There is no matter what occurs, a sort of bond of sympathy between quill-drives that the ordinary mortal can't solve. Now Calvin and Dick may be at it, at some future time, hammers and tongs, but again they will make up, and Calvin will give space to Dick's gush, and Dick will wire out to his chain of papers, under a two-cent postage stamp, some warm praise stuff for Calvin. That's all in the game of newspaper chess. Even Freeman Murray and Big Bill Chase never get entirely separated. You just can't everlastingly and eternally separate newspaper men. Every now and then they will steal back to the home plate on a squeezo play, or a hit and run play, so just set it down, when it comes to newspaper fellows its always a case of "off agin, on agin, gone again, Mulligan." But Rosco can't extract no comfort from this.

FIGHTING IN FRANCE. From "The Atlanta Independent." William A. Pledger, the son of our late distinguished Col. W. A. Pledger, has enlisted in the English Army and is now in France fighting for the cause of the Allies. Young Pledger enlisted in the regular army of the U.S. and no soldier came from Cuba with a better record for efficiency as a soldier and for undaunted courage than "Little Bill Pledger," as he is known in Georgia. After Cuba he went to the Philippines and there also distinguished himself. Now he is in France and we predict that the Allies will have no more capable, brave and courageous soldier than Little Bill Pledger. The following is a characteristic letter to B. J. Davis, accompanied by a Bristol, England, newspaper cut of a battalion of colored soldiers being recruited at Cardiff, Under Sergeant-Major Ashton and Private Dedwney, of a famous Welsh regiment: Bristol, England, May 27, 1915. Col. Ben Davis, Atlanta, Ga. It sounds good to say Atlanta, as I am about off for France. My fighting blood could not resist the temptation to take on. I have been over in this country about two months and finally was to take on at Cardiff. I am here on recruiting service, and we expect to go to the front on the first. Regards to all. If you don't hear from me soon, please let my old friends know that I died for the cause of humanity. Enclosed you will find a clipping of some of our battalion.

Three years ago, dear members, We numbered two twenty-two; But, faithful and true were our lead- The way wasn't always flowery, Our rose was filled with thorns; And though at night we were very weary. Our strength came back with the morn. God in his wise Providence, Added to that little band; Until over fifteen hundred souls, Today we so proudly stand. Two years ago God viewed us, And having seen our sad plight; Sent to us Doctor William Taylor, To lead us back to light. We thank thee, Holy Father. For thy tender love and care; And the way in which Thou has lead us, To this our Jubilee year. Until we join our hands and praise Theo On Canaan's beautiful shore. I dedicate this poem to the Florida Avenue, Baptist Church and to my pastor and personal friend. Rev. W. A. Taulfer, D. D.—Jabez Lee. PARAGRAPHIC William Pledger, son of the late Col. W. A. Pledger of Georgia, has enlisted in the English Army and is now in France fighting for the allies. Prof. J. W. E. Bowen, Jr., A. M., son of Dr. and Mrs. J. W. Bowen, has been elected to "Fellowship" by the American University, of this city. He is one of the few young colored men to receive that honor. Miss Florence enjoys the distinction as well as the honor, of being the first colored lady in Kentucky appointed State Supervisor of the Colored rural schools. Fred Schurm of New York, the betting commissioner, announces that he is willing to bet $200 to $100 that William J. Bryan will never again be elected to any public office in the United States by a vote of the people. The Star, of Newport News, says, "some people mistake kindness for subservience, and only too often drive the kindness away by presumptious and contemptible nagging taunts." True. Bishop John Hurt has returned to this country after a six weeks' trip to the West Indies and South America, where he visited churches, operating under the A. M. E. connection. He says South America needs more Negro business men.

Dyke, a teacher in the Colored schools of Bedford County, Va., was awarded a medal and $1,000, it is stated, by the Carnegie Hero Commission. He expects to use part of the money for the education of Colored children. President Wilson, in an executive order last week, fixed the official flag of the governor of the Panama canal zone as one with a dark blue background, having in the center a white circle with the seal of the canal zone. It bears the words, "The Land Divided; the World United." Patriotism of the highest order is displayed among the women of Australia, so much so that numerous requests have been received by the military authorities asking permission to to join the army and serve as soldiers. Governor Ferris, of Michigan, said, "The moment I heard of William Jennings Bryan resigning as Secretary of State I picked him for the Prohibition nomination in 1916." Prof L. B. Moore, of Howard University, has offered six scholarships to the public schools or this city; three for the M Street, two for the Manual Training, and one for the Normal schools. Gold medals, the highest tribute to individual courage paid by the United States Government, have been awarded to three people in recognition of their daring and life-hazarding efforts to save life from the wreck of the steamer Hanalei, at Bolinas Point, Cal., last November. Observance of the 108th anniversary of the birth of Jefferson Davis, president of the United States of America, was generally observed throughout the South last week. BECKER'S FATE IN HIGHEST COURT NO COMMENT BY GOVERNOR Prisoner Has Been Quoted as Saying That He Will Not Ask His Nemesis For Clemency—Reports That He Would Reveal Other Graft Doubled. Case Now In Federal Court. New York.—The taking of the case of Charles Becker to the United States supreme court will automatically act as a stay, and the execution will not take place on the date set. But if Becker loses in the highest court in the land he will find himself in a peculiar situation. He will be called on in the event of an unfavorable decision by this court to go to the death chair without asking clemency or will have to appeal to the one man responsible for his conviction. Charles Whitman was district attorney at the time of the two Becker trials, and it was his activities in this case that won him fame and kept his name constantly before the public. Whitman stubbornly fought for the convictions, which he won. He was convinced from the outset that Becker was guilty and spared no pain in fighting the case to a successful termination. Becker has been quoted as saying that he will not ask the governor for any quarter, that he will go to the 1930 chair rather than ask a favor of the man who prosecuted him. The situation is one that is very trying on the man. Governor Whitman has not stated what he would do if a petition for clemency should be formally presented to him. The governor granted a brief respite to Becker because he was scheduled to be in the west on the date the court set for the execution and asserted at the time that he would not consider the matter until after his return. It now appears that Becker is in a mood to tell what he knows of graft in New York for a commuted sentence, whereas if nothing is to be gained by "squealing" he is resolved to die game. Those at first inclined to doubt the accuracy of the report that Becker is ready to use any means he has to save himself are now convinced that this may be the case, and interest now centers upon whether or not what Becker has to tell is worth enough to the state to warrant giving him his life. At the office of District Attorney Perkins it has been officially announced that no confession Becker can make will help him, as evidence against police officials or former police officials could result in their punishment for only a year or two in jail. The official announcement points out that it would not be serving the ends of justice to save Becker from the chair just to send another man or other men to prison for awhile. This is the reiterated view of the prosecutor's office. Becker, whose rights immediately after the appeal was denied were spent in tortured anxiety, cuts and sleeps better. He has better control of himself during the visits of his wife According to Deputy Warlen Johnson. Becker is showing a change for the better. He takes his exercise vigorously and again is an enthusiast for handball. He had been reading about to the other men in the death house the most interesting new paper accounts of the war's progress. After the appeal was denied he stopped this diversion. Found Ring Lost Forty Years. Found Ring Los. Party Long Beach, Cal.-Mrs. Andrew F. Mitchell, wife of the pastor of the First Friends church, was notified by letter recently that her wedding ring, lost in a pig pen forty years ago on their farm in Park county, Ind. had been found. When the Mitchells moved away from the farm, having sold it, they asked the couple who succeeded them to keep a sharp lookout for the ring, but they had long since given up the ring as lost. Nothing to Do but Enjoy Life, and Norfolkers Are Helping Them. Norfolk, Va.-The crews of the German auxiliary cruisers Eitel Friedrich and Kronprinz Wilhelm, interned at this port, are enjoying life to its fullest. Besides numerous entertainments accorded to officers and crews, the men are living a life of luxurious idleness. Their chief vocation at this time is pleasure—pleasure day and night. They spend most of their time in Norfolk in the early hours of the day. In the afternoon they go to Virginia Beach, Ocean View and other nearby resorts. They smoke good cigars, eat the best and appear to have plenty of money. Barring a few cases of berber on the Kronprinz, they are a healthy lot. The men have been taken into the homes of a number of citizens and entertained, and special services have been held for them in Protestant churches. They are made to feel at home. They appear on the streets in white uniforms with blue stripes and white hats. They are as neat as new pins, and their conduct is perfect. They room the streets arm in arm with American bluejackets and visit the best theaters and other public resorts. They are beginning to love the great American game. Several hundred of them attended a baseball game in Portsmouth and rose up and cheered a player who drove the ball over the fence for a home run. Whether they understood the game or just followed the Americans who stood up and cheered, no one but themselves knew. But there is a movement on foot to organize two baseball teams out of the crews—one on the Eitel and another on the Kronprinz—and some of the men are practicing daily. They have spent over $200 for equipment. A little short chap whom the American sailors, call "Buelow" drove a ball over the sea wall in a practice game. ITALY AND AUSTRIA RENEW OLD STRUGGLE Adriatic Sea. Has Always Been Cause of Great Wars. Washington.—"Once more the people upon the opposite shores of the Adriatic sea are in a duel with one another for the mastery of the Mediterranean, just as neighbors across this arm of the land locked sea have always clashed, for upon the Adriatic south European supremacy has been contested since the days when Rome fell heir to the sea power of Athens and Carthage. Over this waterway Rome met the pirates of Istria and Dalmatia, aggressive Teutonic tribes and pressing borders of Slavs, over it the empire of the cast sent its expeditions to attack the empire of the west, and Austria a generation ago waged war with a disintegrated Italy over Adriatic paths and for the suzerainty of the sea." After giving the above brief review of this historic theater for the transport of invading armies and the actions of battle fleets, youngest of the war theaters in the present European struggle, around whose shores the interest of south European battles will center through the months to come, a bulletin, issued by the National Geographic society continues in a presentation of the geographic details of the Adriatic sea: "The Adriatic sea is 500 miles long and about 130 miles wide in its greatest width. Its average width is 110 miles. "The Austrian, or eastern, coast is broken, strewn with fine harbors and lined with numerous rocky islands, which belong to Istria and Dalmatia. This eastern coast is of great naval and commercial value, well formed for the upbuilding of great, thriving trade ports and by reason of its almost continuously mountainous shores, its deep gulfs and bays and its screening frances of rocky islands advantageously defended. The western, or italian, coast, on the other land, is low, sandy and almost unbroken. It lacks good harbors and offers few natural advantages for defense. "The commercial importance of the Adriatic sea throughout the dark ages and the middle ages was great. This importance was somewhat impaired by the opening of the all sea route to India and by the determined growths of the Dutch and English merchant marines. With the opening of the Suez canal and the commercial and industrial awakening of Italy and Austria-Hungary, the Adriatic retained much of its old time significance. The most important commercial points are Trieste, Venice, Flume, Ancona and Brindisi, Venice and Trieste, at the head of the Adriatic, are the two foremost cities." 11 IN EVERY 100 WORKLESS. Another 16.8 Per Cent of Wage Earners on Part Time. Washington.—More than eleven wage earners in every hundred were out of employment, and about sixteen of the remainder were working only part time in March and the early part of April in fifteen of the important cities of the country. Returns of a canvass of 390,881 families, including 644,338 wage earners, showed 73,500, or 11.5 per cent, wholly unemployed and 106,652, or 16.8 per cent, without full time employment. PRAYERS THAT ARE HEARD Psalm 111.—June 29. Many May Worship, Few May Pray. Only the Sanctified In Christ Jesus. Their Prayers Arise as Incense Before God—Learning to Pray—What to Pray For—Watching For Answers. "Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me."—Verse 9. It should note the difference between worship and praise, which anybody may render to the Lord; and prayers and supplications, which are acceptable only from His consecrated people. To illustrate: It is one thing to show respect for a ruler, but quite another thing to be received as his friend or to have his counsel and guidance. So, while God has a deep interest in all mankind, it is not the same interest that He has in those who, regardless of sectarian lines, have entered into heart covenant with Him. These are the Bible Church.-Hebrews 12:27; 1 Corinthians 1:26. Many have gotten the thought that anybody, at any time, may rush into the presence of Almighty God with requests, and that God is unhappy because people do not come. Such views indicate a lack of Bible information. The Bible teaches that prayer is a great privilege. Jesus voiced the restrictions upon those who would ap- ```markdown ``` proach the Father —they must become His disciples. (John 14:16; Matthew 16:24.) Otherwise they cannot be begotten of the Holy Spirit, cannot have the privilege of prayer. Mis information on this subject has worked disadvantageously to many. worked disadvan- Prayer of one Contagence to many. The majority only occasionally flee to the Lord in some trouble, without entering into a covenant with Him. Were they rightly informed, they would realize that their affairs are not under Divine supervision. If the difference between Church and world were distinctly discerned, many would awaken to their need of God. Incense, Prayer, Before God. The Prophet David pictures the Christian in distress coming to God in His appointed way. (Verses 1, 2.) Elsewhere the Bible gives the same thought—that the prayers of God's people arise as sweet perfume. (Revelation 5:3.) The incense of old, typifying such prayers, was a rare mixture of spices, peculiarly sweet; and nobody was allowed to make it except the priests who offered it. Thus again the Lord shows that the privilege of prayer is confined to the antitypeal priests. Our prayers should be in harmony with our endeavors. Thus the Church are represented as praying the Lord to set a guard over their lips. The thought is that they strive to speak only what is helpful to others and honoring to God. How appropriate that God's people note carefully to what extent they practice the Golden Rule! Whoever prays intelligently will surely scrutinize his business relations, that he may not eat dainties which come through injustice or oppression, but may rejoice in life's commonest things procured in harmony with principles of righteousness. Those in fellowship with God will take no offense if reproved by the righteous—rather these reproofs will be like excellent oil, such as a guest received from his host in ancient times. True Christians have the heart qualities described as fruits of the Holy Spirit—neckness, gentleness, patience, long-suffering, brotherly-kindness, love. Hence neither their heads nor their hearts are broken by reproofs coming from brethren who rebuke in a Christian manner.—Galatians 6:1. Prayer of One Not Consecured. In hyperbole the Prophet declares of the Church. "Our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol [the grave], as when one cutteth and cleareth wood upon the earth" like chips which the wood-cutter considers not worth gathering. But whatever afflictions God's consecrated people may now have they have God's promise of future glory, honor, immortality. He will not leave them des upon the earth"—like chips which the wood-cutter considers not worth gathering. But whatever afflictions God's consecrated people may now have, they have God's promise of future glory, honor, immortality. He will not leave them desolate. They shall come forth from the tomb glorious in the First Resurrection majesty, to reign with Christ a thousand years.—Revelation 20:4. 6 Satan is represented as a fowler, seeking the Lord's people even as men hunt speckled birds. Chief amongst his agents, according to the Bible, are those fallen angels of whom he is prince; and amongst men he has many workers of iniquity—his servants. Apparently many professed servants of God are develving themselves, are really Satan's servants; for his works they do, as Jesus said. God will deliver His people, and eventually Satan and his cohorts will fall into their own snares. Thus at the Red Sea the Lord opened a way for the Israelites to escape; while the Egyptians were overwhelmed. Similarly, in the approaching Time of Trouble, Satan and his servants will be defeated. The Church will escape, but the world will be ensnared in that great Time of Trouble preceding Messiah's Kingdom. JAMES H.

Some of the most highly educated and the most cultured who may be found anywhere in the United States. Two-thirds or three-fourths of this population are either school teachers, office-holders or conducting enterprises of their own. In Le Droit Park there are nine Jew and Italian grocery stores and one grocery store owned and conducted by a colored man by the name of H. T. Swan. The Jews and Italians are getting rich, and when either want anything that the other hasn't they purchase from the other and ignore the colored man. Mr. Swan's place of business is at the northeast corner and Fourth and V streets, 2021. Fourth street northwest, one street above Elm, in Le Droit Park. Since the last article that appeared in The Bee calling the good people in the Park to Mr. Swan's place of business, he has been forced to place two clerks in addition to his wife in his store. A look into this store will convince anybody that Mr. Swan keeps the best goods in the market. Can The Bee persuade one-third of the Le Droit Park population to visit this store once and if everything is not satisfactory Mr. Swan will allow anybody to fill their baskets free of all cost. In this store can be found everything that is in the market and the largest stores in this city. When you go say that you called because you saw the announcement in The Jee. FLAG DAY. Flag Day was celebrated Tuesday. Local orators, with local reputation, delivered speeches that had been studied ever since the day they were notified that they had been invited to speak. The Lee ventures the assertion that the only true patriots to the American flag are the colored Americans. As one of the orators said, that the Negro saved the flag after they had been repudiated. When the south had the old stars and stripes "trailing in the dust" the colored American come to the rescue and saved the flag from the southern confederacy. Had it not have been for the brave and patriotic blacks the rebel flag would today be the emblem of the United States, and the brave blacks would be slaves. This kind of talk doesn't suit the foes. Black orators in our colored schools should have given the children this kind of doctrine. What the Negro children want is sound doctrine and not glittering generalities. Children should be told the truth. Take for instance Washington's birthday. Colored orators praise the virtues of Washington but never tell the colored children that Washington was a southern slave owner just the same as other Democrats in the south. When Negro orators and Negro editors can tell the truth fearlessly, the colored race will continue to be brave. There, are no orators since Langston, Douglass, Eliot and others. They were true flag patriots. Let the present day orators speak out and be truthful. JITNEY 19'SSES The editor of The Bee in conjunction with Ex-Judge E.. M. Hewlett and Attorney James M. Ricks lodged complaint with the Utility Association Tuesday afternoon against the Jitney Buss Company discriminating against colored citizens, in not permitting them to ride in them. Captain Schily assured the committee that he would lay the complaint before the commissioner and assured the gentlemen that they would receive an answer from him. The Black Jitney Buss Company is not as yet under the jurisdiction of the commission and it is not certain where it stands. The Bee is of the opinion that no public convoyance should be allowed to operate in this city for the accommodation of the public that will discriminate on account of color. The people them to exist without protest. Now is the time to act. ADJOURNED. The old board of education adjourned for the summer last Wednesday night. The kickers who wanted scalps will not get them now. There is to be a new deal and Othello's occupation is gone. Lord Fauntroy might as well look for another job because the people will not tolerate another year of his administration. The Bee suggest that he go west or any other atmosphere cooler than this city. NEW DEPARTMENT STORE. Hundreds of visitors were to Ware's new department store, 1832 Fourteenth street northwest, on the 15th at which time it opened. Now just go and call and see for yourselves. It is the greatest store that has ever been established by colored people. A large photo of the store will appear in next week's Bee. THE JITNEY BUSSES The Editor of The Bee has been assured by the Utility Commission that if the jitney buses come under the commission there will be no discrimination permitted. The commission has under consideration this company, and in a few days The Bee is in hopes of publishing the answer of the commission. It makes no difference whether the Utility Commission will recognize the jitney buses or not, they hold themselves out as common carriers and if they refuse to carry respectable and well behaved colored people they are liable for damages. The Bee advises every respectable and well behaved colored person to bring civil suit against the jitney buses if they decline to carry you. Now is the time for the colored people to be up and doing. TEACHERS' WATCH In another column of the Bee will be seen a teacher's watch contest. There are no strings attached to this contest and no special number of coupons to be voted for before the successful teachers receive the prize, with but exception, and that exception is the watch will go to the teacher who has the largest number of votes deposited with Mr. Haller by September first. Cut the coupon out of The Bee, with the name of your favorite teacher written on it, her name and address and the name of the sender. The Bee has nothing to do with the handling or counting of the tickets. This is done by Mr. Haller himself. Vote now. Mrs. Aldina Hawkins Haines Down with the jitney busses that discriminate. What has become of the defenders of the race? Has the Association for the Advancement of the Colored People said anything? The graduating exercises of the public schools will be in town this year. The people will rule the schools next year, notwithstanding. The Bee is the people's organ, notwithstanding the opinion expressed by the clear editor. The shake-up at Howard University has caused a great deal of comment. The National Religious Training School at Dunham, N. C., is succeeding notwithstanding. Mrs. Shepard is in the fight. She is a great woman. Miss Marie Madre, the principal of Bethel Literary, is a fighter from wayback. She is a speaker and a writer. The defeated candidates for the board of education will get themselves in tune for next year. Is the report true that a school official thrashed a teacher without cause? The matter is before the judges. There are a few alleged colored Democrats in the departments who will sing another song next year. Advertise in and subscribe for The Bee; it is the journal for the people. Metropolitan Baptist Church Crowded. Mrs. F. B. Norman's Pupils in a Musical Recital. The musical recital at the Metropolitan Baptist Church last Wednesday evening by the pupils of Mrs. F. B. Norman, the accomplished musical wife of. Rev. M. W. D. Norman, was one of the greatest musical events in the history of that church. It was an event that will be long remembered.

The entire program was very edifying, especially the Y. M. C. A. orchestra. The musical program was conducted, after which Dr. Randolph of Mt. Moria Baptist Church, Mr. W. Calvin Chase, and Miss Marie Madra were introduced and paid deserving compliments to Mrs. Norman for the excellent program her pupils rendered under tutelage. Miss Madra's address was full of enconum and compliments to Mrs. Norman. She showed remarkable genius and ability in presenting such an array of talent to the people and her name will go down to posterity. Mrs. Norman was beautifully dressed in steel gray silk, and her dignified and unassuming air commended her to the admiration of all present. The Bee Is Correct The article in the Washington Bee, headed "Colored Men Spend Thousands in Ads in White Press," is timely. And not only in Washington City is this the case, but in many cities of the South. Right here in this city the colored people, and especially those who should know and act properly, are rather slow in patronizing their own newspapers. Himself Alone. From the American Baptist, Louisville, Ky., June 4. Yesterday The Bee, Washington, D. C. began its thirty-fifth year adown the rugged sea of journalism. Our old friend, Calvin Chase, as he is called by the older members of the press gang, has had a valuable experience and he is in a class to himself in the newspaper world. He is fearless and courageous in whatever cause he espouses, and he has a unique way of expressing his opinions about persons and enterprises. We do not always agree with his views and policies, but we cannot help but admire his frankness and candor. Editors can be no more allike and of the same temperament than members of other professions, and age and experience mellows down the most rash of them. We congratulate Bro. Chase upon what he has accomplished, and wish for The Bee greater success in the future. Washington—Professor William J. Spillman, chief of the office of farm management, department of agriculture, is making arrangements for the holding of a farm management survey school here in November when field agents of his office will be in Washington attending an annual conference. A week will be devoted to the survey, which will take place on farms nearby in Virginia. The "school" will be conducted by experts of Professor Spillman's office. "A farm management survey," said Professor Spillman, "takes in every possible item in the business of the farms included. The purpose is to ascertain which farms in a given community are being successfully and profitably operated, which farms are making a living and which are being operated at a loss. "Thirteen such surveys have been made up to date in as many states. Those already made have been of real benefit to this office and to the farmers affected directly by them. "For example, the surveys show that many farmers fall to get a maximum of work out of their farm animals, their help and themselves because of lack of foresight. Instead of so arranging their work that they will be profitably employed all the year many have entirely too much to do at one time and little or nothing to do at other times. Consequently their farm animals frequently do not pay for their keep for considerable periods because of lack of profitable employment. "The work of our field agents is to acquaint themselves with the facts developed by the surveys and then assist the farmers in applying scientific methods which have proved successful. Where a farmer is not planning his work so as to secure a maximum of profit from his employment ways and means to accomplish this end are pointed out to him. Where he is raising crops that are unprofitable the facts and figures are laid before him in a convincing way. Dr. J. E. Jones. Our good friend Dr. J. E. Joness, and our associate delegate to the Philadelphia, Pa., convention in 1900, has been promoted in the diplomatic service as United States Counsel at Lyon, France.

AID BELGIANS ON A BUSINESS BASIS Commission Will Have Provided Foodstuffs to the Value of $65,000,000 by Middle of August—Profit Made In Cheap Bread—Belgians Have Done a Lot of Work Themselves. London.—The American commission for relief in Belgium will have provided foodstuffs to the value of about $65,000,000 for the Belgian people by the middle of August. Charitable contributions from America will have amounted to about $5,000,000 and from other quarters of the world approximately the same total. The great bulk of the food supplies, representing the remaining $55,000,000, is being provided indirectly by the Belgian people themselves. This is made possible by the elaborate financial machinery set up by the commission, enabling the Belgians to utilize their own energies and resources. Fully 75 per cent of the Belgian people are being supplied with food by the commission without recourse to charity. One result of the commission's operations is that bread is now cheaper in Belgium than in London. When the commission was formed last October, under the chairmanship of Herbert Clark Howe, it was estimated that the total imports required to keep the population of Belgium alive would amount in value to about $50,000,000 before the next harvest. The rise in the price of foodstuffs increased the necessary amount to $55,000,000. The greatest problem in this connection was involved in the fact that foodstuffs sold in Belgium to those who still had resources were paid for in paper. The entire metallic currency disappeared early in the war, and national bank notes were so scarce that many communes were printing paper issues of their own. This paper money had no value outside of Belgium, and in any event to have exported it would have denuded the country of currency. But unless this money were turned into gold it would be necessary for the commission to find in the outside world an amount of money which was out of the question. At the outset, therefore, the commission began to devise a method for effecting the exchange of these local currency obligations into gold. Negotiations were opened with the belligerent governments for permission to set up a form of exchange whereby persons or institutions abroad owing money in Belgium should turn over to the commission the amount due in sterling or dollars. The commission undertook to pay their debts for them in Belgium out of paper money which it received from the sale of foodstuffs. The belligerent nations agreed to this after long negotiations, and there was thus set up a form of exchange. The commission is today the only institution which is doing a systematic banking business across enemy lines. By degrees the commission has extended this exchange department of its organization, which has come to be the lifeblood of the structure. It has induced many well to do Belgians to pledge their credit for money handed over to the commission in gold, which in turn is paid to them in Belgium in paper. The commission also has advanced money to the communal governments, taking their obligations therefor, and by pledging these obligations abroad has obtained further resources. The communes have been enabled in this manner to procure money to pay communal officers, to maintain the schools and keep up municipal works, thus enabling the Belgians to carry on the details of civil government and saving the country from the danger of anarchic conditions. One phase of these operations arose in connection with a number of Belgian concerns, which, while they had resources abroad, had exhausted their local resources in payment of workmen or in disbursements to depositors. A form of hardship had grown up through the inability of such concerns to make good their obligations to the public, and persons who had believed themselves well to do were being forced to the bread lines through inability to draw money due them. Through the operations of the commission these concerns were enabled to hand over in London and New York funds they possessed abroad, and the commission in turn delivered paper money received from the sale of food. Thus the cycle of credit was reestablished, and many thousands of persons were saved from the bread line. Before this machinery was set up practically the whole population was dependent on the world's charity, paper money being of no avail. The initial appeals of the commission, therefore, were made on behalf of the 7,000,000 of people. With the success of these financial efforts, however, all of the people still able to pay for their food were made self dependent, and the appeals of the commission for charitable contributions were reduced to those made on behalf of the absolutely destitute. Daughter of Austrian Commander In Chief Heads Red Cross Corps. Vienna.—The Archduchess Isabella, daughter of Archduke Frederick, commander in chief of the Austrian forces, is now seeing actual service at the battle front. She is head of one of the Austrian Red Cross corps and spends a great deal of time at her father's headquarters. The Austrian Red Cross is an admirably organized body of workers and + Photo by American Press Association. ARCHDUKE PHEDERICK AND DAUGHTER, ISABELLA, AT FRONT. is carrying on its humane work in a quiet but very effective manner. Archduke Frederick has been one of the most conspicuous figures in the war. He has been directing the operations against both the Russians and Italians and is now confronted by another emergency, the possible entrance of Roumania into the war on the side of the allies. It is stated that the Roumanian army consists of 1,000,000 well trained and well armed men, who will be stationed along a 600 mile front in event of her participation in hostilities. DINOSAUR FOUND BY A DENVER MAN Grand Junction, Colo. — Coming to Grand Junction to examine the skeleton of the dinosaur found south of the city recently. Professor J. D. Figgins of the City Park museum in Denver found another while searching the hills. He expects to have it excavated and removed to Denver to be mounted in the museum. Professor Figgins, with two guides, viewed the pile of bones of the petrified dinosaur recently, located and found the bones much scattered and disintegrated. Some were carried away by specimen hunters. He found several hard, round rocks which he declared to be the stones a dinosaur swallowed to grind food with, as a chicken swallows pebbles. He kept on the trail and soon found small silvers of bone and a large joint sticking out of the ground. He snaked the place and returned to Grand Junction and states that he will immediately start the work of having the huge skeleton uncovered. Judging from the formation where the bones were found, there is every reason to believe that the skeleton can be taken out in more than ordinarily fine condition. Professor Figgins said it has always been the case, that when petrified skeletons of dinosaurs have been found in Colorado some eastern museum has swooped in and captured the prize, while Colorado's own museum stands devoid of any of the specimens found in its own state. If this proves to be a fairly good specimen it will be placed in the Denver museum as rapidly as the work can be accomplished. While there is no way of determining the size of the saurian until some excavation is made, the size of the joint found protruding from the ground indicates that the animal was as large as the largest ones found in the valley. CUPID BROKE UP CLUB. St. Paul Bachelor Girls' Club Is Now a Name Only. St. Paul—The Bachelor Girls' club of St. Paul danced itself out of existence at the armory. Sixth and Exchange streets, after ten of the original thirteen members and fallen before the marksmanship of Dan Cupid. It was the twelfth and last dance given by the club, and at the stroke of 1 a few mornings ago the last vestige of the club as an organization vanished like Clinderella under the spell of the fairy. The club was organized five years ago, and the members, bound by solemn oaths of bachelorhood, remained intact for a time. Cupid battered at the ramparts, and one after another of the members capitulated until five alone were left. Suddenly two of these fell, and a double wedding announcement carried dismay to the hearts of the remaining three. The Week in Society Come for drugs. Phone for drugs. Write for drugs.

HOTEL DALE, CAPE MAY, N. J. Guests at This Hotel—Week Ending June 13 Vane, Pittsburgh; L. L. Lewis, 614 Budd street, W. Philadelphia, Pa. ALEXANDRIA NEWS The Children's Day exercises at Roberts' Chapel, Sunday evening, under the able supervision of Mr. F. H. M. Murray, who, for more than a quarter of a century, successfully conducted the primary department of the Sunday School, was a phenomenal success. Mr. Murray has not had the time to work with the Sunday School in recent years; but upon several urgent requests by the superintendent, Mr. Chas. A. Robinson, and his assistant, Mrs. Maggie E. Evans, Mr. Murray finally agreed to help with the exercises again this year, and his success this time is said by some to have elapsed even his past remarkable efforts. The singing and literary work of the children and other members of the Sunday School showed that the instructors, Mr. P. H. Lumpkins, Miss Martha E. Buckner, Miss Laura M. Dorsey and Mrs. Susie B. Brooks, chair-lady of the Literary Committee, had done their work in a most thorough and technical manner. The brief address by the pastor, Rev. J. W. Jackson, like his sermon at the 11 o'clock service, was full of the most valuable advice and timely hints. Miss Buckner presided at the organ; Miss Dorsey, the Sunday School pianist, at the piano; and Mr. Clarence H. Blakey, corpstist; Mr. Jerry M. Boyd, violinist; and others played the orchestral accompaniment in a very pleasing manner. Rev. Jackson and Supt. Robinson were all smiles, and joined in praising Mr. Murray and his co-workers. The condition of Mrs. Mary Holsendorf remains serious. Mrs. Hettie Arrington is quite ill at her home on N. Patrick Street. Did You Vote for Your Favorite Teacher?

FOR USE IN CASE OF WAR. Headquarters In New York, but District Bases Are to Be Located In Other Cities-Plans For 1,500 Landing Stations In All Parts of the Country Other Schemes For Defense. New York.-The Aero-Military Service Federation of America, a volunteer organization of which August Belmont is president general and Mortimer Delano deputy president general, has announced the proposed formation of a national reserve of aviation volunteers for use in case of war. The program outlined by Mr. Delano contemplated the establishment of district bases in New York, Illinois, Chicago, St. Louis and San Francisco, with twenty- [Image of a man wearing a hat and a suit]. Photo by American Press Association. AUGUST BILLMONT. eight aero squadron centers and 1,500 landing stations scattered from coast to coast. Mr. Delano explained that under the federal law at present there is no authorization for the formation of an aviation regiment and that therefore his organization is a provisional body. He says efforts will be made to have the next congress authorize the First Aviation corps, the formation of which is the ultimate purpose of the AutoMilitary federation. The federation also plans a propaganda to urge upon congress federal control of an aviation. The prospectus of the examination says its purposes are parental and educational. The membership is divided into three classes: aviators, officers of the United States army and navy and civilians who are unable to serve in an aviation corps. Mr. Delano said that in about 50 percent of the squadron branches had been formed and were busy recruiting. He expects a membership of 25,000 in three months. When this is reached he plans the establishment of the hundreds of landing stations to make aviation easier and safer in all parts of the country. About three years ago Mr. Delano attempted the formation of a similar organization, which lapsed into desuendue. Mr. Delano credits this to circumstances over which he had no control, and says that now, with the awakened spirit for national defense, citizens in all parts of, the country will join the federation. Lindley M. Garrison, secretary of war, received a letter from Alan R. Hawley, president of the Aero Club of America, in which it is proposed that the government establish a squadron of eight aerial planes at Governors island for the defense of this city. Whenever accounts of aerial attacks on cities appear in the news the Aero club receives inquiries from residents of New York asking how the city would be defended by aerial planes. "The aerial attack upon Venice by Austrian aviators, who flew to Venice from a bake more than 100 miles away," said Mr Hawley, "and the recent fight near Brussels, when twenty-seven aeroplanes defended that city from an attack of a Zeppelin, have increased the number of inquiries. The attacks upon cities and ships by aeroplanes which start from distant bases and the use of aeroplanes for range finding compel people to realize that aerial attacks could be made upon New York by aeroplanes starting from ships fifty or a hundred miles at sea, and large guns, delivering 2,100,000 foot tons of metal per minute at a range of 20,000 yards, and aided by aeroplanes, would quickly reduce any coast defense not adequately protected. "The cast is entirely without aeronautical protection. The military centers have no aeroplanes. The troops have never maneuvered with aeroplanes and the men behind the coast defense guns have no aerial eyes to give them their accurate range. I submit that this is an unnatural and shocking condition. I deem it my duty to urge that steps be taken immediately to provide a minimum for the defense of our country." GOT $40,000 FOR $50. Dead Prospector Leaves Estate to the Man Who Grubstaked Him. San Bernardino, Cal. — A $50 grub stake given to an aged prospector eleven years ago has returned to A. J. Garner, a young livery stable proprietor of Highland, in the form of a $40,000 estate. Garner at Jerome, Ariz., received a $50 check from his parents. He met W. H. Hawnsynder, a prospector and friend, who told him he was "dead broke." Fifty dollars, he told Garner, would grub-take him for a prospecting trip. Garner immediately handed over his check. He had not seen Hawnsynder since. The other day a stranger inquired where he could find Gus Garner. "Did you ever know W. H. Hawsnyder?" asked the stranger, who was H. G. Jamison, a New York attorney. "He was my best friend," replied Gus. "That's right," said Jamison. "He's dled and left you his $40,000 estate." BLOWN UP BY WIRELESS? Fred T. Jane Suggests Solution of Irene and Bulwark Disasters. London.—The suggestion has been made in the Evening Standard by Fred T. Jane, the naval author, that the steamer Princess Irene was blown up by a German wireless device. The Princess Irene, an auxiliary in the British navy, was blown up recently in Sheerness harbor, with a loss of more than 300 lives. "The sudden and complete destruction of the Princess Irene in the Medway," Mr. Jane writes, "at no great distance from where the battleship Bulwark also was suddenly blown to atoms, may be a curious coincidence. Italian experiments have proved it possible to explode a properly attuned charge by wireless from a short distance. If that charge be surreptitiously placed in a magazine everything in the magazine will go the same way. One spontaneous explosion is thinkable enough, but two in the same district demand too much from the imagination." Would Organize 15,000 Employees at Washington. Washington. — The national capital will soon have one of the biggest clubs and one of the biggest clubhouses in the world if Franklin K. Lane, secretary of the interior, carries out his plan. Indications are that he will. He has a committee of three at work, and it is meeting with much success. The secretary's plans call for the formation in one big club of the 15,000 government employees here. He hopes to erect a clubhouse occupying a whole block. "It is not alone the social end that Secretary Lane has in mind. He plans to look after physical needs also. He proposes to establish a chain of co-operative stores in Washington, where the government clerks can purchase their food, clothing and other necessaries of life at a cost very much below that which now prevails. Secretary Lane is an enthusiastic adherent of the co-operative plan. It is used successfully in the reclamation service of the interior department and on a more or less limited scale in the Home club, of which the secretary is founder and president. The Home club will be the nucleus of the new organization. It occupies the old Brazilian embassy, in Jackson place, but its membership has grown so fast that, although this house is one of the most commodious in the city, it is almost impossible to care for its 1,700 members, all employees of the Interior department. The Home club has a business manager, who looks after co-operative buying, G. K. Weston. When fresh eggs were selling recently at 50 cents a dozen he distributed several hundred dozen a week to the members of the club at a price approximating 36 cents a dozen. When the best creamery butter was selling at 45 cents a pound Home club members were able to buy it for 35 cents a pound. At Christmas time candy that was sold, for 60 cents a pound was purchased for 50 cents by members of the club. More than 200 retail dealers in Washington have signed agreements to give Home club members discounts of from 5 to 20 per cent on cash purchases. During the winter the club, through the bureau of mines, bought several thousand tons of coal at a saving of from 50 to 80 cents a ton. COURTED IN JAIL. Youthful Prisoners Wed When Re- leased. Morgantown, W. Va.—A courtship that began in jail and developed there into love, although the principals could not get a good look at each other during their court-hip, resulted a few days ago in the marriage of Minnie Brooks, twenty, and John Bohis. The girl was serving a sentence of six months, for threatening to kill a guitor. When three months of her time was up Bohis was brought to jail to serve ninety days. The girl was on the second floor of the jail, and Bohis was on the first. The National Religious Training School, Durham, N.C.

Catcher—Costin, M Street. First Base—Butler, Armstrong. Second Base—Smith, Commercial. Third Base—Adams, M Street. Short Stop—Better, Armstrong. Left Field—Hall, M Street. Right Field—Davis, Armstrong. Center Field—Brown, Commercial. The athletic season in the high school circles for the year ended with a championship in baseball for M Street High School. This victory breaks a string of championships in baseball that has fallen to the lot of the Commercial High School boys during the past three years. From the way the Stenographers started the season it seemed that they were bound for a fourth successive championship, but the loss of the services of Collins and Taylor to the Business boys and the gain of Diggs and Adams by M Street in mid-season changed the aspect. Many better players than some of the above honored men played at some time in the series, but in selecting players who mean most to the team, those who do not maintain ratings sufficient to qualify and play in a majority of games can hardly be considered. Outside of the box men mentioned, Horad of Commercial was injured in one of the games he started and did not hit so well as he has in the past days, and Springs of Armstrong was effective enough at the time to rank close to the players whose names occupy the chosen positions. West and Lee as catchers were good at times but Costin tops them by some to spare. Of the infield, the case of Better is the only one not so very far above the others as to leave no doubt. Diggs of M Street is a very valuable hitter but lacks the finished form necessary to a first choice in the infield. Davis and Brown of Commercial are the best of the fielders, but Hall of M Street did not have much on Johnson of. Commercial, whose shifting to fill gaps made by the loss of players by the coach prevented his worth as a fielder from showing to advantage. Because of his experience and knowledge of the game and players, Walker of Commercial would be my choice for captain. Armstrong gains all-round honors in the athletic field this season with victories over lier opponents in football, track, and military drill. With this series of titles goes the "Loving" cup awarded yearly to the all-round champion institution, and donated by Captain Walter H. Loving of the Philippine Constabulary Band. Quite a few upsets marked the progress of the athletic year. Armstrong, under the coaching of Mr. Cedric Francis of the Faculty, landed the gridiron honor after a series of unbroken defeats in preceding years. M Street's basket ball team wrested championship basket ball honors after many years' trying. Armstrong repeated in the track events but scored for the first time in military drill in a period of six years, while M Street upset baseball traditions as mentioned above. Messrs. McDuffie in basket ball, Cromwell in baseball, Washington and Vaughan in drill, and Francis in track were the winning coaches. The season was marked by many phases of improvement in the conduct of games and matters relating to athletics, and yet a few faults still hamper the best expression of these games. There still remains the old bug-bear, a lack of playing grounds and courts. Gate receipts as a means of offsetting the large expenses that are incidental to a big season have reached the lowest point in many years, although the activities in the purely athletic field have reached a high water mark in number and conduct. The faculty coaches are a credit to the institutions they represent, consisting of men whose views of the importance and value of athletics are not obscured by the one hope of victory. Scholarship ratings and other scholastic qualifications have a very definite value and serve as a spur to better school work as well as to elevate the plane of scholastic competition. The school representatives on the games committee, Messrs. Conipton, Morton and Cowan have borne the work of conduct of games with credit to themselves and the schools they represent, and the referees and umpires chosen have done their work well.

Usually, the choice is made far in advance of commencement time, but this year extraordinary complications have arisen and the appointments are necessarily delayed. The town is sharply divided into 2 camps—those who wish to maintain the supremacy of the Bruce machine and those who insist that a change should be made, in the interest of reforms they think will come through a change of the existing administration. The impression grows that a new atmosphere in the control of the schools is essential to the restoration of the confidence of the people must feel in a management to make it measurably successful. A lack of harmony among the directing forces, whatever the cause, militates against the usefulness of an admnjistration, and for this reason a change is earnestly desired by the unbiased element who seek, first of all, the welfare of the educational system here. The adherents of Assistant Superintendent Bruce are now trying out their fourth candidate for the colored membership on the board. They started out with Dr. M. O. Dumas as the man most likely to safeguard the prestige of the present incumbent. He declined to run. Then Lawyer W. L. Houston was placed in the race, only to be withdrawn later. It was rumored that Rector O. L. Mitchell, of St. Mary's F. E. Church, had a fine "look-in." through the backing of the N. A. A. C. P., and sponsored by the head of the local branch, the Hon. A. H. Grimke, and the Bruceites are said to have immediately transferred their favor to him. Objections were raised by the "antis" and Mr. Mitchell eliminated himself from the contest. Last week Dr. Arthur S. Gray, an excellent young man, was trotted out as the "dark horse" from the Bruce stables—and there the case rests. The antis have gained ground from the outset with Prof. L. M. Hershaw, one of the community's brightest educational lights, as their representative, and his chances for securing the appointment are exceedingly strong at this writing. Lawyer Fountain Peyton, said to be one of the ablest members of the District bar, known to be for a reform of existing conditions, is likewise a powerful factor in the race. Much will depend on the selection of the three new members, for it is expected that they will hold the balance of power that will determine the life or the finish of the present regime.

Con- Sequentls if a sane thought respecting the Litie came jute our minds, we put it auy ay untrue because so reason- able. lint we are Leginning to see that God's Tiwk is the most reagonable and logics! ever written, And the fact that, although written by many differ- ent writers at various times In the world’s lustory, it is the most reason able of Luvks and contains the most wonderful story, brings conviction that ‘At is indeed the Wonl of God. Yet much of this Word has been bid- "den because of the error and misunder- standing which the Adversary foisted upon us during the Dark Ages. As ‘we get the eyes of our understanding open, We see that the Hible teaches ‘what to most of us ts a certainty—that everywhere are death, sickness, sor- Tow, Weakness, mental, moral and physical. “by one man's disobedience sin entered into the world, and death 6 8 result of sin} and so death passed upon all men; fer all Lave sinned,” says the Apostle. (Momans 5:12) But this thought that death fs the penalty of vin 15 everywhere rejected; and we are told that eternal torment is the penalty for sin, Both-eommon sense and the Bible are thus discredited. The facts are that death fs the great enemy of the human race; that death $s here bevause of sin; and that un- Jess God heljs us thére would be no future life.. Plain, simple, reasonable, ds the Bible proposition: Death ts upon all mankind; and Goi's provision is that all shall be recovered from the Geath soutence. Death came through one man’s disobedience and fs to be set aside through another man’s obedience. ‘The Lord Jesus came into the world and «ve Himself a Ransom-price for all—a [rive that corresponds with the Srst an whe sinued.—1 Cor. 15:21, 22. But. :ts the Apostle points out, It was aecessiry uot only that Christ should dle fer wankind, but that He should rise from the dead for our justifica- tion, Romans 4.24, 25) For Christ merely to die on our behalf and then to make no application of His merit for us wenld leave us in as terrible a conditien as before. Therefore God has provided not only that our Lord should «ie. but that He should also be raised trem the dead. ‘The time set apart for the world’s recovery is the perled of Messiah's glorious Reign, when He will deliver mankind from the bond.ize of corruption which came throush one man’s cisobedience. The Church Risen With Christ. Our tert speaks of the Church as thouch separate from the work. Else where the Itble declares that the Whole world Hes in the Wicked One. The world are still under condemna- tion hut the Apostle explains that the Church have escaped the condem- Bation tht is upon the world. We have net <ottem free from the weak- Besses uf the Nesh mm the death con- } ition. Int we have escaped the con- demnation- the Feral phase of the sub- fect. God is taking this Church ciass ont of the world, to be made partakers of the very hishest rank of spirit na- ture—the Divine. @ Peter 1M) This fs the promise made to God's people, the Church of the Tirst-borns, whose ames are written in Heaven. “If ye be risen with Christ.” The ‘Apostle does not intimate that this 1s aw thing future. AI who belong to the tve Church of Christ should know that they have this resurrection. But tn order to be risen with Christ we Frmst be dead with Him. (@ Timothy Nur Lord declared that He came not to do Iils own will, but the will of the Father, svho seut Mim. (Jobn 6:38) So we must do whatever the Father desires us to do; we inst not desire our own wy. We should seek to know God's will respecting our body— what we shall eat, what we shall wear. what we shall say, what we shall do. To Uo so will give us what the Apostle calls “‘the spirit of a sound mind.” Before we became the Lord's chil- dren we did not think properly along these lines. Like the Gentiles we ware thinking of what Would satisfy our appetites. Now we think of what would enable us best to serve the Lord and what 1s best for our welfare Since we have come Into God's fami. ‘all our talents are IIs; the more we re- alize how few are our talents and oum opportunities, and how litte we are worth to the Lord and everybody ele. the more anvious we shall be to make the most out of everything we have— mental, inoral, physical. Dead to Self and Self-Will. We are to have in mind also that we are to be dead to self-will, Our will fs that which we wish, and our wishes represent our personality. If we ylold our own wishes to another, we give up our will to that extent. If we give up our will to some church denomina- tlon, then it becomes onr head, our Tuler. If we gire up our talents, etc., to some society or order, It tikes super- vision of our affairs and our time. God 4g purposiny to have an Order—the Or- der of the’Royat Priesthood. Some of us wear what is known as a Cross and Crown Vin, ‘The cross represents our faith in the death of Christ and our desire to walk in His steps; the crown represents the reward of glory, honer and immortality; and the wreath arava the cross and crown represents the Restitution bless- ings comings to the work) of mankind. A brother who had on one of these Pius was axked what dexree he had, “The degree of the Itoy al Priesthood.” he replied. AN of God's people are Odd Fellows in the sen-e that they ars Qiferent from the world. They are Masons itr that they are of the Tom- De class, whose Chief Corner stone ts the Lord Jests Christ. ‘Tus Royal Temple is built ov tue feandation of the Twelve Apestie: and we. as ly: ing stones, are Ini z Wuilt inte that Temple, which by and by wiil be gtori- ous.—1 Peter 234-10, Invariably God's things hive the pri- mary thought. The world has wore or less copted after these thinss, but they do not see the beauty as we do. We have no ‘quarrel with anybody. We are simply ou Geyt's sie, the true side; and go far ay others have the ‘Truth, they are with us. Otherwise they are against us, Just as it was respecting our Lord, so it has been with all the Body of Christ, the Church—there has been a division of the people, some seelng more. some less.—Joln 9:16. But God's work goes on steadily, grandly. He is Ouding these precious members of The Christ. In one ple- ture they are represented as jewels, In another as Wving stones, in a third as a Royal Priesthood. “The Lord kuow- eth them that are IIis.". We do not know who they are. All that we can do is to assist and leave the rest to the Lord. He makes no mistake. ‘The Power of Christ's Resurrection. In order to share in the Dirst Resur- rection with Christ, we must share in His death. 1 remind you of what St. Vaul said. Ie had been discussing the Florious things of the Kingdom, and expressing his opinion that all things in the world were not worthy of con- sideration In comparison with I. He declared, “I count all things but loss, 28s that Tamay win Christ and be found in Him.” (Philippians 3:8, 9.) He desired membership in the Body of Christ. The word Christ means anvinted; Jesus is the Head of The Christ, and the Church arg the meinbers. God 1s raising up a great Anvinted One. He raised up Jesus first, and five Him to be the Head over the Chureh which is Ils Rody. ‘throughout the Gospel Age God has been raising up’ the members of The Anvinted: and through the Apostle He has sald that all things are to be counted as loss and dross in com- parison to that wonderful Delgiese of being members of The Christ; for to Christ God premised the Kingdom and glory. honor, immortality. Jesus has already entered into His glory and sat down with the Father. This does not signify that Hterally He has sat down in Heaven, but that Ie has entered into that glorious rest of which the Apostle speaks, (Iebrews 4:9.) He is at the Father's tight band cee Cees rag agg ae eee are had fulfilled the Father's will in all Uls experiences; and knowing thus what the Father 15 pleased with and seeing that the Father had exalted out Lord, the Apostle destred to follow the Master. So he says, “That I may know Him and the power of [is resurrec- ton”—expertence that grand resurrec- tion, be “chanzed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye.” Since Hesh and blood cannot fiterit the Heavenly Kingdom, therefore all the Body of Christ must undergo the wonderful transformin; power of the First Res. urrectlon.—1 Corinthians 15:49-55, Fellowship of Christ's Sufferings. St. Paul knew that he vould not en- ter into Christ's resurrection unless he entered into Christ's death. Only those who would suffer with Christ could reign with Itim. This knowledge was what made St. Paul so different from others of his day. We look back and see what 2 wonderful man he was —how Christ's charzeter shone in bis words and deeds, how much he was Aled with the Master's words and dis- position, The same admonition fs given us, that we shoald “fallow IIs steps.” In Proportion.2s we become dead to the world, dead with Clitist, in that pro- portion “we become risen with Him, But there is a difference between our case and that of Jesus He was es pecially born, as the Bibie emphasizes; ahd He coud not have been our Savior if He hd not been. "To deny this fact would be te deny the Ransom. Who- ever dems that Jesus came tnto the world x perfect human being ts de nyinz the whole Plan of Salvation. His life dl not come trom Father Ad- am, but was transferred from a higher plane. He left the glory which He hod with the Ieavenly Father, and humbled Himself to become a man. He was able to do the Father’s will, No sin debarred Him from Divlne favor. But all of us were born-in sin; God had declared Adam and hls posterity unfit for-everlasting life and Divine fellowship. At the axe of thirty years our Lord presented I[imself to the Father in consecration, The Father accepted the sacrifice, and manifested His accept: ance {n the impartation of the Holy Spirit. ‘Then, having received the be- getting of the new-nature, our Lord was couuted a New Creature, ‘There, at Jordan, Me died, in the sense of giving up His life as a human belns: and there He besan the new life, From the time He made Ills Covenant of Sacrifice’ Ie was a New Creature. During te three and one-balf years of Ilis ministry, which culminated at Calvary, Jecus was not living accord- iug to the world, He was lying a Lisher life. Ivuring that tlme His sae- riflee was satisfactory to the Father; and because of this, the inceuse of Lis offering entered into the antityptcal Most Holy and covered the Mercy- Seat. Therefore, when Ie died at Cal- vary, there was laid up for Him the blessing which He received on the third day thereafter. Because Te had proved fqithful @urins the three and. one-half years of His anointing of the Doly Spirit, the Father ralsed Him froni the dead, and exalted Tim far above ance ». ‘The experiences of the Church are somewhat similar. Irom the thine that we surrender our wills and begin the snerificial life, we are dead with Tim. Then it is for us to live the new life— dead according to the flesh and alive toward God, dying dally and living daily. Our resurrection 4s going on moment by moment, year by year, un- til our trial fs finished. ‘Then we shalt be rewarded according to our falthful- ness from the time we came into God's family—from the’ time we received the begetting of the Hols Spirit and were recognized as sons of God, risen with Christ, to walk in newness of Ufe. Before weecame Into the famlly of God we were merely outcasts. But when we heard that God had provided for the redemption of our race through the death of Ills Son and was willing to recelve us, it was Good Tidings to us. God has arranged that when we make a ful! consecration of our hearts to Chrixt He accepts us, imputes to us His merit rnd advocates for us. ‘This will continue until the full number of the Elect stall have been found; for as there is 2 definite number of bones in the human body—not one more or one less if the hody is perfect—so there is a positive number of members in the Body of Cluist. ‘The ible tells us that all His members were written in the Book—the Wook of God's Wisdom, when He pianneit the matter in’ the beciuning. As we are accepted of Him. our names are written in the Lamb's Iteuk of Life. .

However, Torpedoes Must Bo Replen- ished and Crews Must Have Rest Off tho Boats. 2 Washington.—Speculation 2s to the Germans having established secret sub- marine bases in fsolated coves along the Irish coast was revived in sem!- official circles in Washington by the| publication of a dispatch from Crook haven, Ireland, which told of a subma- rine having been sighted and fired upon near that place. For some time there has been & strong belief here that there have been secret submarine bases of this charac: ter somewhere along the western of) southwestern cousts of Ireland. It was deBnitely ascertained, however, that no information had been received by the navy department from {ts intelligence sources abroai confirming the discoy- ery of any of the supposed secret bases. If there nre any such bases the fn -dentations in the shores of Ireland /may have been conveniently utilized | by the Germans for that purpose. | In the absence, however, of definite knowledze that such a base bas been established, well informed naval off: cers cast doubt on this explanation of the facility with which German sub marines have’been able to operate i the stretch of water between Fastnel Tock, the first lishthouse seen by trans atlantle passengers bound for Queens town and Liverpool, and Bishop's rock, where they catch their first glimps¢ of a lighthouse when going to South: ampton. Naval officers upparently are agreed on one point—that none of the subma: rines that have attacked merchant ships off the south and west coasts of Ireland have one to those sections of the German naval war zone around the British isles by way of the strait of | Dover or the English channel. The British have.so effectively protected the approach to the English channd by a mine field extending from Ostend to the entrance to the Thames that n¢ German warship, dvating or subma rine, has yet Leen shown to have pass ed that obstruction. * . Naval ollicers here do not believe that submarines could successfully Pass thronzh this mine field. They also point t« the announcement recent ly’ made In parliament that England had Veen able successfully to trans Port about 750,000 soldiers from Enz land to France and Belgium across the channel without the loss ha slugle transport or the death of a single maz! during the cross channel journey. 1 German submsrines were able to g¢ to the south coast of Ireland by the channel route and tlfere sink mereban! ships, it is pointed out, the same sub marines could have sunk British troop ships, which would be of greater. mili tary advantage to Germany than the mere sinking of merchant ships, whict carry only noncombatants, With the Enslish channel approach to the west and south coasts of Ire land as well as to the Scilly fsles closed, the German submarines would have to take the North sea and north of Scotland route to the western shoret of the British isles. Having once sent submarines to the Irish coast, It was said here, the Germans might obviate tho long journey around Scotland, ta and from Ireland and Germany, by es tablishing secret bases on tho Irish coast, and the theory is very strong that this las been done. ‘The naval experts, however, belleve that the submarines have made the Journey back and forth around Scot- land, One high naval officer sald that the Germans were known to have sub- marines with a steaming radius of 4,000 or 5,000 miles, which could easily negotiate the long journey.- It was suggested to him that if there were se eret bases on the Irish coast there might be submerged tanks of gasoline which the submarines could visit at night, raisiug them to replenish thelr fuel supply and then sloking them again, aud that {t was easy to imagine that they Lave constructed large tanks that could be towed under water. This officer admitted that this was posslble, though he did not’ belleve it had been done. He sald that the use of such tanks was proposed some time ago to this government, but he bellev- ed, in the fe of a great deal of in- formation that he had received, that the German submarines were not fol- lowing the sccret base practice.

Seventh-Day Adventists' Head Tells of Elimination of Schools in Korea Shintoism Ascendant rea-Shintoism Ascendant. St. Helena, Cal., June 15.-The Japanese government has adopted a proposal made by the governor general of Korea to eliminate the teaching of Christianity from every Korean school, denominational or non-denominational, according to a statement made today by Elder A. G. Danfells, president of the general or world conference of the Seventh-Day Adventists, to the national educational and young people's missionary volunteer council of the Adventists, now in session here. Mr. Daniels said the "open door" in Japan, as far as Protestant missionary endeavor is concerned, is fast closing and a reaction has set in. He urged that whatever is done for the evangelization of the millions of China and India be done quickly, for, he said, Japan is leading the orient. He recently returned from a year's tour of Australia, the South Sea Islands and the orient. "This act already passed gives ten years for the closing of the schools," said Mr. Daniels, "but those who have read it and are familiar with the situation say it may be only five years until our schools will be closed, for the Japanese government has planned to establish shintoism, which elevates the emperor to the position of supreme ruler and makes the state religion the supreme religion." ORGANIZER MOORE RESUMES WORK. Tuskegee, Ala. June 14.—Beginning June 16, Prof. Charles H.

It will be Professor Moore's purpose to meet Local Negro Business Leagues in all of the important cities in the States here mentioned and otherwise to devote himself to propoganda work in the interest of the League until the August meeting. It is earnestly hoped that he may have the co-operation of the officers and members of Local Leagues in the States to be visited by him.

Complaint that certain of the jitney buses now running in the District refuse to carry colored passengers was made to Capt. Julian L. Schley, executive officer of the Public Utilities Commission, Tuesday, by Justice E. M. Hewett, W. Calvin Chase, and J. M. Ricks. The delegation first called on Commissioner Newman, but were unable to see him, as he was occupied in executive session with other members of the board. Captain Schley was told that efforts by colored persons to hail the jitneys have met with no response. The contention was raised that as the jitneys are classed as public conveyances, they should be available to colored as well as white patrons.

SMITH, Druggist Fourth and Elm Sts. N. W. Washington. D. C. Supreme Court late Tuesday, when he refused a temporary injunction to Theodore G. Stoner and Charles Wolf, saloonkeepers, who sought to enjoin members of the union from operating in front of their places of business. Justice McCoy ruled "the proof preponderates in favor of finding that the picketing is entirely peaceful; that it has in it no element of intimidation of would-be patrons of the plaintiff, either through fear of physical harm or any other result not favorable to them in the event that they go into the plaintiffs' places of business and make purchases of non-union beer." Justice McCoy found that the brewery workmen were using a lawful means of diverting trade from saloons wherein non-union beer was dispensed, and he ruled that the action of the men was not in the nature of a boycott inasmuch as no force was used to accomplish their purpose. Stoner and Wolf filed their complaint against William Roberts and brewery workmen allied with him in doing picket duty. The striking brewerymen were defended by Ralston and Richardson, while Léon Tobriner and Alexander appeared for the saloon-keepers. DIED IN RICHMOND Richmond, Va., June 13.—Mrs. R. M.
