Striking Out of State Law the Word "White" by Fifteenth Amendment Cannot Be Disregarded. In a decision so broad as probably to annul "grandfather clause" enactments in every Southern State which has adopted such laws, the Supreme Court yesterday held invalid Oklahoma and Maryland legislation aimed at restricting the colored vote. The decision was unanimous. The decision, in short, was that it is a violation of the fifteenth amendment for a State to select arbitrarily a date, such as 1866, and provide that persons not qualified to vote on that date are or whose ancestors were not so qualified are barred from voting or must submit to voting tests not required of others. Election Officials Amenable. The court further held that election such clauses could be held amenable right to vote, and that such officials the fifteenth amendment had stifle "white" as a qualification of voting. For more than fifteen years the inserted in constitutions of Southern has been to exempt from education those who could vote about 1866 or to apply to those who did not vote a. In Maryland the clause was in various cities. In 1908 it was in cipal elections in the city of Annapolis as voters of all taxpayers of the city, naturalized citizens, all male children of age, and "all citizens, who prior to vote in the State of Maryland States at a State election, and the person who prior to January 1, 1866 of Maryland or in any other State election." ever held that election officials were held amenable to law for that such officials could not dis- ment had stifened out of se- cation of voting.

For more than fifteen years the "grandfather clause" has been inserted in constitutions of Southern States. The most popular form has been to exempt from educational and property tests for voting those who could vote about 1866 or 1867 or 1868, thus leaving the tests to apply to those who did not vote at those dates. In Maryland the clause was inserted in laws governing elections in various cities. In 1908 it was inserted in the law governing municipal elections in the city of Annapolis. It authorized the registration as voters of all taxpayers of the city assessed for at least $500; all duly naturalized citizens, all male children of naturalized citizens 21 years of age, and "all citizens, who prior to January 1, 1868, were entitled to vote in the State of Maryland or any other State of the United States at a State election, and the lawful male descendants of any person who prior to January 1, 1868, were entitled to vote in the State of Maryland or in any other State of the United States at a State election." Varlous Arguments Advanced.

Another line of argument was that the clause did not "deny" or "abridge" the right of colored men to vote, as forbidden by the fifteenth amendment, but it merely discriminated against them by allowing those not colored to vote without meeting the qualifications imposed ostensibly upon all.

Grandfather clause provides "elector in this State, or be able he be able to read and write State of Oklahoma; but not at any time prior thereto, event, or who at that time real descendant of such person I vote because of his inability to institution." John B. Anderson, William H. Howard and Robert Brown, colored, of Annapolis, were responsible for the test case. Among counsel for them was former Attorney General Charles J. Bonaparte, of Baltimore. Election officials at Annapolis refused to register these colored men so they could vote in a municipal election. The refusal was based on the fact that they could not qualify under the "ancestor" rule. A civil suit for damages was instituted against Charles E. Meyers and A. Claude Kalney, the election officials who barred them from registry. The United States circuit court for Maryland returned a verdict for nominal damages against the election officials and in favor of the colored men. The court held that under the fifteenth amendment they had the right to vote at all elections. The election officials demurred, claiming this amendment did not apply to State elections. The court overruled the demurrer and the officials appealed to the United States Supreme Court. The Oklahoma grandfather clause provides "That no person shall be registered as an elector in this State, or be allowed to vote in any election herein, unless he be able to read and write any section of the Constitution of the State of Oklahoma; but no person who was, on January 1, 1866, or at any time prior thereto, entitled to vote under any form of government, or who at that time resided in some foreign nation, and no lineal descendant of such person, shall be denied the right to register and vote because of his inability to so read and write sections of such Constitution." The Government's Contention.

New effect and operation of the attorney argued, "is to exclude and practically no illiterate whi purpose may be easily be infec argued that if the clause w colored voters of their right firety. The Government's contention was that the clause necessarily divided the voters of the State into two classes, literate and illiterate, and while there was no discrimination against any literate citizens, there was no discrimination against the illiterate ones, namely, those illiterates whose ancestors did not have the right to vote prior to January 1, 1866. The Government conceded that Oklahoma was entitled to apply a literary test to its citizens as a basis for suffrage, but that the manner in which it was applied made the whole clause unconstitutional. The Government also contended that as suffrage was a political, not a natural right, the words "entitled to vote" must necessarily refer to the laws under which "the ancestors" lived, not the actual fact whether the ancestors voted. "The necessary effect and operation of the grandfather clause," the Government attorney argued, "is to exclude practically all illiterate negroes, and practically no illiterate white men, and from this its unconstitutional purpose may be easily be inferred." The Government argued that if the clause was unconstitutional in so far as it deprived colored voters of their rights, it must be unconstitutional in its entirety. - SCHOOL GRADUATES. Archibald H.

He attempted to practice law there and so exclusive was he and prejudiced against his own people that he never associated with colored people until after he failed to succeed among the white. M. FOUNTAIN PEYTON, ESQ. The Successor of Dr. Charles H. Marshall. A Popular Appointment. In delivering the commencement oration to 219 graduates, Mr. Grimke, speaking on "The School and the Battle for Bread," declared in part: Denounces Color.Line. "American color-prejudice stolidly, obstinately, assumes that you are different, inferior to other people with a white skin, and lest by any chance you may explode this assumption and evince yourselves in the struggle not at all different, not at all inferior to them, it proceeds to put a handicap on your back and shackles on your feet and pattern on your hands, to make thereby the assurance of your being finally beaten, doubly sure." The graduates, the girls in white dresses made by themselves and the boys in black, were seated upon an inclined platform built against the east wall and midway the length of the vast auditorium. Above the platform was a white canopy sloping from the back of the platform upward to the ceiling. Thousands of oak leaves and scores of palms were banked about the base of the platform. In front of the graduates' platform were ranged the members of the Washington Concert Orchestra, led by Director Harry A. Williams. The invocation was delivered by Rev. C. H. Stepteau. Ernest H. Daniel, vice president of the Board of Education, presided. After the oration by Mr. Grimke, awards of scholarships were made by Ernest T. Thurston, superintendent of schools. The diplomas, were awarded by. Dr. Charles H. Marshall for M Street High School, Dr. Creed W. Childs for Armstrong School, and Mrs. Coralie F. Cook for the Cardoza and O Street vocational schools. The benediction was said by Rev. F. I. A. Bennett. The old Roman, Captain Oyster, was introduced and said among other things that no one could hear what Mr. Grimke said, but hoped that his speech would be read in the papers. The captain is always a welcome visitor among the people. The presiding officer of the meeting said among other things when he introduced Dr. Thurston, that the success of the colored schools was due to him. At no time was there any applause for the Assistant Superintendent of Schools. Hon. Martin Williams, reading clerk of the House of Representatives, received an ovation. Mr. Williams is always a welcome visitor wherever he goes. His address last Monday night was a gem and the people went wild. He is regarded among the colored people as the great emancipator in thoughts and deeds. Medal is Awarded. An extra feature of the program was the award of a medal by Superintendent of Insurance Nesbit to Laurence Hartgrove, of Armstrong School, for an essay on fire prevention.

Addresses were made by Superintendent of Schools E. L. Thurston and President Blair of the board of education. Dr. Moten was presented with a large bouquet of flowers which elicited the wildest enthusiasm and applause. The applause continued for three minutes. The people went almost wild, which was an indication of the high estimate this lady is held in the estimation of the people. A section of the Marine Band rendered the music. List of Graduates.

Rhine & Co., funeral directors and embalmers, are natives of Nashville, Tennessee. After having obtained his academic education at Fisk University in his native State, he then left for Chicago, Ill., and entered the Chicago, Ill., School of Embalming, from which institution he graduated as a competent and qualified embalmer in January, 1905, and was given a license to pursue his profession. Mr. Rhine came to this city after his graduation from the Chicago, Ill., School of Embalming, where he has established one of the best places in the southwest at 901 Third street and known and conducted as John T. Rhine & Co., funeral directors and embalmers. This firm has an entire building, with a chapel 22 by 40 feet with a seating capacity of about one hundred and standing capacity about fifty, making a total of 150. In this building is a morgue, embalming room, a store-room with over $2,000 worth of stock. The upper portion of the building is artistically furnished and with every modern convenience. This firm has buried the largest number from one family, at once, than any other firm in the city, and no doubt has buried some of the most prominent and best known citizens of Washington. There is no firm that is better qualified to handle large funerals than this one. Mr. Rhine is a polished gentleman, a member of the Elks, the Pythias, Odd Fellows, Masons, Moses and many old and influential benevolent organizations. His name in the Southwest is upon the lips of everybody as a man of honesty and integrity. He is reliable and may always be depended on to do what he says. His terms are reasonable and his services are up to date and satisfactory. When he enters your home you need not stand in any fear of not being treated in a manner that commands consideration and respect. John T. Rhine & Co., 901 Third street, is the best known firm in that section, which is an honor to the community. FOUNTAIN PEYTON A Blow That Shatters Shams and Elevates the School System. A Successful Lawyer and a Man with a Brilliant Record—A Commoner of the People and a Defender of Their Rights and Liberty. Born in Virginia, the Mother of Presidents—Selfmade, a Man of Family and Highly Educated Children. Fountain Peyton, whom the judges of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia have appointed on the board of education, is a self-made man and his successful career shows how much may be accomplished by perseverance and enterprise: He was born a slave at Brooks Station, Stafford county, Virginia, January 25th, 1861, and was brought to the District by his mother in the spring of 1862, his father having been sent on by his master in front of the Confederate army to assist in building fortifications. Mr. Peyton says that he does not remember President Lincoln, but does remember that on January 1st, 1865, his mother carried him to the White House to call on the President and that there were thousands of colored people there to pay their respects. He also remembers when Lincoln was shot, and remembers seeing his mother in tears while she was hanging crepe over the front door and windows of the little shanty in which they lived on H street between Twenty-first and Twenty-second northwest. He remembers that she kept moaning all the while, "O, why did they kill our President? What will we colored people do now?" His grandfather was the shoe maker on the plantation in Virginia, and was taught to read by the white children who liked to sit around and see him repair shoes, and he in turn taught all of his children to read and to make figures. So young Peyton's mother was his first teacher. When he started to school at the old barracks which occupied the site which is now Farm-gut Square, he knew his alphabet and could count a hundred. I teacher was Miss Lucy Barb was restless and mischievous. school. Nat was always ready recitations and was generally upon to answer questions when viors came in. When the Thad Stevens school was completed the barracks were abandoned. Peyton continued as a student at the new school until he had completed the seventh grade, having for his teachers most of the time Miss Jennie Fleet and Miss "Pet" Kiger. He took the eighth grade under Miss Emma Brown at Sumner Building. Leaving the eighth grade he completed a three-years' Normal course at the old Wayland Seminary and an additional year in Latin, Greek, Geometry and Rhetoric. With this limited educational equipment he began life as a public school teacher at Owing's Mills, Baltimore County, Md. Later he went to St. Mary's County, Md., and taught several years, and finished his career as teacher at Mountain Gap, Loudoun County, Va. He had a desire to study law, so he passed a Civil Service examination and was appointed to a position in the Washington City P. O. This was his opportunity. He at once entered the Howard University Law School, and was graduated in 1890. On June 19, 1890, he was admitted to the bar of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, and has practiced here continuously ever since. Mr. Peyton is not spectacular. He is reserved and modest, but he always appears in court with his cases well prepared, and opposing counsel, white or colored, know that; they have a job on their hands if Peyton represents the other side. He is truthful and honest, and there is not a judge or lawyer in the community who questions his word or his integrity; and he would rather tell the truth and lose than practice a. deception and win. Mr. Peyton has taken care of his money, and he is said to be in comfortable circumstances, but he evades all inquiries on the subject. The editor has been in his home, and it cannot be excelled for solid and substantial comfort. It is governed by a devoted wife, who is as unpretentious as Mr. Peyton himself. Such a man as Fountain Peyton ought to make a good school trustee, even in Washington, D. C. The appointment of Mr. Peyton meets with popular approval. Mt. View House, Harper's Ferry, Va. Mt. View House opened 'its door last Saturday, June 19, to boarders for the 1915 season. Everything is fine, and a great prospect for the season. Among the recent arrivals are Mrs. Olivia Callis Wilson of Baltimore and Miss Lottie Penn of Boston, formerly a practicing trained nurse of Washington. Many guests will arrive this week.

Now I want you boys to run along and sell your papers, and you girls to skido off to your gossiping card-clubs. "cause I just got to have a heart to heart talk with Superintendent Thurston. I'm just at the Superintendent's outer door to his sanctum sanctorium. I'm gently knocking (on the door) now. Somebody says, "Come in." I'm entering. "Howdy, Mr. Superintendent Thurston." I say. He looks up and says, "Why, hello, Sage!" "I've come to have a heart to heart talk with you about this school situation, Dr. Thurston." I say. "Be scared, Sage," he kindly says. "Dr. Thurston, you know I'm a Colored man—" Just here he interrupts me with, "You look it nearly as much as Dr. Vernan." "Getting back to where you broke in on me. Doctor, you know I'm a Colored man, and much interested in my chocolate bon-bon buddies, the pupils and teachers in the variegated schools, and would like a heart to heart talk." "Pull the throttle, and proceed," he said, and then I said: "Now, Doctor, in all seriousness, if there was as much smoke hanging around the white schools as there is around the colored, don't you imagine you would assume there would be some fire lurking about somewhere? And wouldn't you call out the fire department in the shape of an investigation, and wouldn't you ascertain what the trouble was, and who is responsible for it?" Doctor never murmured, and I proceeded: Truth is. Doctor, there has be agitation, bickerings, a accusation newspaper notoriously, and a title of everything in the Colored schools for the last eight or nine years, or to be exact, ever since that Harvard derelict what Jim Cobb champions as a special attorney, was unloaded on the town's school system by Mrs. Mary Church Terrell. Now he may be just as O.K. as a charge slip down at Aaron Gaskin's for Wash Woods, but it do seem funny that there should be so much smoke constantly vaporizing from the Colored schools. Now, Doc tor, why in the name of high heaven and the colored children, don't you go to the root of things? You heard about that automobile ride. It may have been merely a simple little a fair, but there has been so much talk about it it does seem that it ought to be gone into. Then I know you have been told about a rumor what connects a young man school teacher engaged in a knockdown and runaway argument with a school official. I know you have heard this, cause there are some dark complexioned individuals about this town what come and tell you what their neighbors have for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, just as they used to run to Captain Oyster with all the backyard gossip. You know, Dr. Thurston, that ever since you got boosted from an assistant's job to the main gazebelle on the job there ain't been, nothing but contention amongst folks what make up the colored schools. Now, why don't you dive in clear to the bottom and see what's wrong? In all seriousness, Doctor, how long do you suppose they would stand for all this suffocating smoke in the white schools? Betterlife they and you wouldn't stand for it 42-centimeter guns train for an investigation. Now, why must we, chocolate-colored folks, be let alone while rumors are playing tag, and charges are running wild, and accusations are almost aphytizing, and gossip—d—d bad gossip too, is propagating like mushrooms in a barnyard? Now let us get right down to brass tax, Doctor, and talk sense. You know there is something rotten in Denmark; you know there have been a lot of things that have been off-colored, so rotten, and so off-colored that if they had took place in the white schools there would have been an expulsion and a clean-up. Now Doctor just imagine we are white same as you and give us the same smear you would give white folks. I'm only a looker on in Venice, but I do know that the teachers, most of them, are dissatisfied, and the children are feeling the effects of this continued wrangle, charges, gossip, etc. You know, Doctor, you can't run a high class Mercedes car with a third grade gasoline. It's just this way, Doctor, if the Harvard derelict, what's been in trouble ever since he landed the job, after Booker T, past him up from Tuskegee, is alright, an open investigation, with no white-wash bucket or brushes around, will establish that he is the goods, and then it will silence all this loud and soft talk. If the teachers, about four hundred, of them, who have assimilated a desire to see him vacate his job, sort of abdicate with the Board and your consent, are wrong in doing their sub rosa and metaphone talk, why, lets know it, so we can get started next year under propitious surroundings. You know, Doctor, there has been some rank favoritism in the Colored schools. You know how the teachers rebelled a year ago cause the Harvard derelict made a rule that you had to be a college graduate, and almost possess a master's degree before you could get a promotion above the third or fourth grade. And you know, Doctor, when the teachers rose up on their hind legs and let out an awful squeal, resolved to you and the Board, how this winner of the oratorical contest at Harvard crawfished out of it, so to speak. Coming right down to brass tacks, you know, Doctor, it been "one damn thing after another" ever since Rosco's been making a bluff at running the Ham schools. Now whose fault is it? Let's get an answer to that question before the schools open next fall. You know, Doctor, how he planned to loosen Dr. Lucy Moten from her job.

And you know, Doctor, what an awful cold deal poor Doc Bruce Evans got. Just tumbled him out on his head without hearing or trial. Why, Doctor Thurston, you know they give everybody a hearing and a trial for every sort of crime committed, except in some parts of the aristocratic South where lynching bees are quite the thing. Why was it Doc Evans didn't get a hearing and a trial when he asked for it? I know they eased some strong 42-centimeter stories to you about him, and I ain't a denyin of none of them, 'cause I don't know nothing, but I'm just contending that there must have been a nigger in the woodpile when a hearing was denied Doc Evans. Perhaps if a hearing had been granted him somebody higher up than him would get all smeared over with the same stick. It may have been a case of self-protection that prompted the undergrown scheme that denied Doc Bruce Evans a hearing. If Doc Evans was such a bad actor, why the devil was there fear of giving him a hearing? If he had gone down to the little old White House and emulated Gittau, or if he had committed one of them there heinous crimes what the aristocratic South fixes lynching as the proper dedication of it, he would have got a hearing and a trial in this here section of land lopped off of Virginia, and called the District of Columbia? Now I'm just mentioning a few things. Doctor Thurston, to show that there has been just simply h—1 in the schools every since Booker T. ticketed the Harvard orator up to Washington. He may not be to fault, then again he may be. But to be fair with the Colored schools, and as superintendent of all the schools you sure ought to be fair with us chocolates, for we don't often get a fair deal, you ought to dig down and find out what the trouble is, who is responsible, and then sort of issue a decree that will settle affairs. If that decree separates the Harvard orator from his $3000 job, why let him go, and the blessings of the Virgin Mary go with him. It it separates from their jobs a few who may have been prevented to be wrong in their charges against him, why let them go, and the blessings of St. Patrick go with them. But, say, Dr. Thurston, in all seriousness, treat us like we was humans, treat us like as if you thought we knew beans when bag was open. You know, I know an whole army of fault-finders have told us, how the Harvard derelict caused, at his home and divers other places to land people on the school board what would play the fiddler. You know while that was no felonious crime it was agin the ethics of the profession to say the least. No packed school board is good for anything save for the fellow what packed it. Call in Richard Raw Horner, "Old Bear Cat," Mrs. Harris, and even Doc Childs and Doc Marshall, and after you put them under oath, and letting Doc Childs and Doc Marshall hear the music from dictagraphs what had previously been secreted in rooms where they was a talking school affairs, get them to cough up all they know, and if somebody ain't damned to all eternity why you can work me for a gin phiz. Now, Dr. Thurston, this is a little confidential talk. I ain't going to soft-pedal it to nobody, and I know you won't, and if anybody hears of it, it will be just because somebody had secreted a pair of Edison dictagraphs in your room. But for heaven's sake, for the sake of the more than fifteen thousand chocolate complexioned hopefuls in the Ham schools. Doctor, give us a release from this school turmoil, gossip, charges, counter-charges, etc. Treat us like you would if we showed up down at Franklin with white skins.

Use Idaho License, Calling Pastor From Prayer. Lewiston, Idn.—Mrs. Maud Estes of Kamiah and A. J. Stuart of Stites were united in marriage a few days ago on the Lewiston-Clarkston bridge, just on the Idaho side of the midchannel of the Snake river. The parties had come to Lewiston expecting to be married by their pastor, the Rev. J. B. York of the Baptist church of Stites, who was in attendance at an association meeting at Clarkston. On learning of their mission they were invited to be married in the association meeting, but this was impossible because the license was obtained in Idaho, and so the meeting adjourned to the center of the bridge. A SEVEN FOOT "COP." Grantsburg's Chief Tips Scales at 340 Pounds. Grantsburg, Wis.—This city, peaceful as it is, boasts of the largest chief of police in the world. He is Gust Anderson, who is seven feet four inches in height, and, though perfectly well proportioned, weighs 340 pounds. He is the only tall member of a big family and came here, from Sweden, where he was born in 1872. He served a short time on the police force at Superior, until he was stricken with typhoid fever. This giant came to this country in 1894 and for thirteen consecutive years has been chief of police. CHINA WANTS TO BE THE WORLD'S TOY SHOP Promoters to Manufacture All Kinds of Playthings. New York.—Forty thousand dollars was spent for toys, most of it in New York, by Chang Ki Kato, a special representative of the Chinese government, who came to the United States several weeks ago with the Chinese commission. He bought everything in the shape of a toy or dinner tavor made of metal which he could find. Mr. Chang is now busy in seeking among manufacturers of machinery for men who can build machines to make in China the toys which before the war were practically all made in Germany. China, with her cheap labor and cheap sailing ship freights, proposes to compete with the toymakers at Nuremberg, Fuersch and Thilt, who have supplied toys for most of the civilized world for generations. Many of the toys were purchased also for their educational value in the schools of China. One sample of every sort of toy was sought by Mr. Chang, not only from the great toy importing houses and big retail shops, but the Bowery was searched for the cheaper articles. Prices paid ranged from three for a cent to $750 for a miniature model boiler, burning coal dust, attached to a complete miniature Corliss engine and electric generator. This last was purchased in Philadelphia and was used by the proprietor of a big toy shop to run all sorts of toy machines in his shop window. The engines purchased ranged from one operated by alcohol flame at 95 cents to the Cortliss, which cost $140 alone. Every sort of toy lathe, saw and stamp mill is represented in Mr. Chang's collection. He has twenty sets of toy locomotives, from a pewter model at 10 cents to one with apparatus for supplying its motive power at $29. One set of lead soldiers cost $188. It includes every arm of military service, with mountain and field batteries, a Red Cross ambulance, forage wagons and automobile trucks. Boats at three for a cent are at one side of a collection which includes a complete battleship that cost $235. Printing outfits from $1.90 to $45 are in the collection, with boys' carpenter tool boxes of every size. SEE BRILLIANT METEORITE. Made Night Bright as Day—Its Fall Shook the Earth. Orangeburg, S. C—A wonderfully brilliant meteorite was seen and the explosion was heard in this city and county recently about 2 o'clock a.m. Many people saw the bright mass as it fell toward the earth and a policeman in Orangeburg felt the earth tremble and heard the courthouse windows shake. Some of the most interesting facts brought to light so far are told by J. S. Evans of near Ellorce. He was sitting by a window that was opened in the right direction to get a full view. The brilliance of the falling meteor was very marked, rendering the country as light as day, and it finally passed out of sight north by 32 degrees east. Mr. Evans observed about what time it was, and eight minutes later heard the explosion. By losing a calculation upon the difference in the rapidity with which light and sound waves travel he estimated it was between three and four hundred miles away, and following that direction would make the location of the meteor some distance out at sea off the coast of Maryland.

RITTMAN PROCESS NEARLY PERFECT BENZOL PRICE TO BE LESS. Secretary Lane Says It Will Be on a Commercial Working Scale Very Soon—Government Ready to Make Arrangements For Manufacture With Any Concerns That Desire. Washington.—Secretary Lane of the department of the interior is trying to preserve for the people of the United States the processes devised by Dr. Walter F. Rittman, chemical engineer of the bureau of mines, to procure gasoline and benzol at a much lower cost than that at which they are now obtained. "Excellent progress is being made in the development of the Rittman process," said Secretary Lane, "and there is every reason to believe that both the gasoline and the benzol processes will be on a commercial working plane within a reasonably short time. I am ```markdown ``` informed that the gasoline process is now ready for large scale industrial applications, and the hope is expressed that the benzol process will be ready soon. "The benzol process is being developed in co-operation with a New York company, which has entered into an agreement whereby all patentable equipment, processes and ideas available as a result of the co-operative work will be turned over to the department to be dedicated to the public. "The department stands ready and is anxious to enter into similar agreements with any other companies in the country that will agree to the same terms—that all processes and ideas patentable in the development of either process shall be turned over to the department for use of the public. "The department is willing for all who are desirous of making use of the processes to do so to the fullest possible extent consistent with the proper protection of the processes in order that the public may derive the greatest measure of benefit therefrom. It looks as if it would be only a short time before the complete mechanical equipment necessary for the practice of the processes has been worked out and the inventions covered by patent applications. "The department considers that all those desirous of employing the processes should agree to contribute to the public, in the same manner that Dr. Rittman has done with his basic patients, all patentable ideas that may be conceived as a result of the employment of these processes. "This is the only condition that the department imposes, and its reasonableness will become apparent when it is considered that Dr. Hittman has given to the public, through the department, processes which conservatively might be worth millions of dollars were they controlled by a private industrial concern exclusively for its selfish purposes. "As soon as the department is assured that the public's interests are properly safeguarded a full and complete scientific paper, describing the processes will be issued. In the meantime the processes will be open to any one who wishes to develop them under the conditions imposed. "At the first public demonstration of the Rittman benzol and gasoline processes held before the representatives of the army and navy and large manufacturing concerns announcement was made that both processes might be used by all interested persons upon application to the department. At the same time, however, because of the desire to give the public the fullest possible benefit of the Rittman processes it was stated that the use of the processes would be coupled with the condition that the person using the same would give to the public the benefits of such ideas along mechanical lines as they might conceive during the employment of the processes." CAN'T BE "TIPPED." Woman Head of Cloakroom Could Make $2,500. Seattle, Wash.—May Stehle, in charge of the cloakroom at a hotel here, is undippable. If she would take tips she could make $2,500 a year in addition to her salary. "But," she says, "I would lose my self respect." The hotel management could, if it desired, fire Miss Stehle and save her salary and, to boot, sell the cloakroom "privileges" for $150 a month. But the mere fact that it has an employee who actually spurs tips has proved such an advertisement that the hotel can't afford to let Miss Stehle go if it wanted to—which it doesn't. The traveling public cannot believe its ears when it hears Miss Stehle refuse tips. "Thank you," she says, with a gracious smile, "but I do not take tips." AERO MAILS FOR OZARKS. Scheme to Reach Missouri Region Where Railroads Are Unknown. St. Louis-Aeroplane mail service for a part of the Ozark region where the railroad never has penetrated may be established soon. The plan is the result of an investigation by Albert Bond Lambert, captain of the United States aviation reserve corps, and Frank McFarlane, superintendent of mails here. Danger of United States Being Drained of Fine Animals. New York.-The extent to which the war has depleted the supply of high class American horses is pointed out by F. K. Sturgis, prominent in financial circles and who as vice chairman of the Jockey club has charge of that organization's bureau of breeding in New York state. "The economic waste the struggle has created is not generally realized," said Mr. Sturgski. "The announcement that we have exported $29,000,000 worth of horses and mules since the war started will not mean much except to the initiated, but it takes on tremendous importance when we learn that during the entire period of the Boer war, which lasted from October, 1890, to June, 1902, the British government purchased all told 470,000 horses, of which we supplied 100,839 head. During the same period they bought 149,039 mules, of which we furnished 81,521 head. "It appears from this that the United States has furnished for Great Britain, France and Italy in the period of ten months past almost as many horses and mules as the British government bought in all countries during the almost three years of hostilities in South Africa. When the hundreds of thousands of horses supplied by other countries are considered and it is remembered that the average life of a horse in the actual war zone is but ten days some idea of the necessity of stimulating the breeding interests is apparent. "Some faint idea of the rate at which the horse is being eliminated may be gathered by reference to statistics in connection with the Army of the Potomac during the civil war," he continued. "The records show that there were thirty cavalry regiments whose effective strength varied during the six months from May to October between 10,000 and 11,000 men. This body of cavalry required the following remounts: May, 5,730; June, 6,227; July, 4,716; August, 5,400; September, 5,829; and October, 7,536, indicating a loss of two and a half horses per man, or a ratio of five horses per annum. The secretary of war in commenting on this showing said: If a similar state of affairs existed throughout all our cavalry its 233 regiments would require 435,000 horses annually." "In comparison with the world strife now prevailing," continued Mr. Sturgs, "the civil war seems trivial and the situation is one that should fill every breeder of horses with a sense of the duty he owes his country. The horse is a very necessary accessory of our everyday life, but in war he is as indispensable as ammunition or food." HIS BUTTONS SOVEREIGNS. With One of Them John Young Helps Gypsy Queen Pay Fins Trenton, N. J.-Lacking $1 of $43.73 needed to pay a fine and costs in the Mercer county court imposed on Marie Caramodotea, a gypsy queen. John Young, the leader of the band, surprised the court officials by taking a button from his vest and offering it as security for the money. An examination of the button and others on the vest showed they were English operatives. Ellis Person, counsel for the woman, lent him $1 on one of the buttons, and the fine was paid. Hick's a Wolf Terror. 'Atchison, Kan. — Hlek Colgann, famous wolf catcher, whose home is near this city, has captured a total of 720 wolves. He has a bird dog that locates the dens. He receives a bounty of $5 for gray wolves and $1 for corvets. Since the first of this year he has captured thirty-nine of the animals. "PROPHESY AGAINST THE SHEPHERDS" Ezekiel St.—June 27. Self-Seeking Shepherd—The True Shepherd Seeking the Scattered. Feeding the Flock—David to Be New Shepherd—One Flock, One Shepherd. "I myself will be the Shepherd of My sheep." TODAY'S Study is a parable applicable, we believe, at the present time. It begins with an armament of the present. of the Lord's flock. It accuses them of appropriating the wool and devouring the best of the flock, but neglecting to lead them to the "green pastures" and "the still waters" of God's Word. The parable pictures the Lord's flock scattered here and there, some wounded, some lean and hungry, all neglected by the false shepherds. We understand this as signifying God's true saints. Nominal Christianity fares well enough, but the Lord does not recognize nominal Christians as His flock. They are goats, not sheep. The unfaithful shepherds are often quite busy with the goats—the worldly elements of their congregations. These do not care for spiritual food; they must be provided with entertainments, suppers, sociables, discourses on poll A courses on politics, harmless dissertations well filled with jokes. Do they not furnish most of the money? Would they not withdaw from the church if spiritual food were dispensed? For these some are providing "smokers," parish houses supplied with games, etc. The shepherds were not appointed by the Lord to look after the goats; and this prophecy is a reproof to them. God's true flock is scattered, in many denominations and outside of all. They become the prey of the beastly of the world, and are ensnared into various false doctrines. For this condition the Lord holds the unfaithful shepherds responsible.—Verses 8-10. Many Bible students believe that this Scripture is being fulfilled—that we are living in Christ's Parousia; and that for some years He has been present, gathering His truly consecrated people out of all sectarian systems and from the world. The Great Shepherd's voice is to be heard now; for it is the time of His Second Presence. He is about to complete His flock of this Gospel Age and to glorify them with Himself in the First Resurrection. Their Home-land (Verses 11-13) is Heaven itself; and His bringing them there will mean their resurrection change. But He also declares, "Other sheep I have, which are not of this fold; them also I must bring; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd."—John 10:11-16. The Second Flock and Its Fold. The Lord's other sheep will include all who during the Millennial Age will gladly avail of God's gracious provision for them. They will be of a different nature from the flock of this Gospel Age. The flock now being gathered are begotten to a spirit nature, which they will attain by a resurrection change.—2 Peter 1:1; 1 Cor. 15:50. The other sheep will be the Lord's great flock, the great family of Adam, purchased by Jesus. For a thousand years the separating between sheep and goats will progress, as outlined in Matthew 25:31-46. All mankind will be invited to come under the Lord's sheepherding care. By so doing and developing His spirit, His character likeness, they will be granted everlasting life on the earthly plane.—Acts 3:19-21 The goats of that time, thank God! are not to be tormented, as many of us once supposed. They are to be cut off from life: "These [the goats] shall go away into everlasting cutting off [Greek, kolasin]; but the righteous [the sheep] into everlasting life." For a thousand years the Great Shepherd will remain; to gather out fully all His stock of the Millennial Age and destroy all except His sheep. All who really love righteousness and hate iniquity will become the Lord's sheep. All the wilfully wicked will be destroyed. The Flock Criticized Also. Verses 17:22 disclose the New Order incidental to Messiah's Kingdom. This Already has begun in respect to the Gospel Church. Some who have been considered quite prominent in Christendom, pushing and managing its affairs, and discounting as peculiar the Lord's true sheep, will be reproved by the Lord in this Day. The poor, the out- "The Lord is my Shepherd." casts, the peculiar, are the ones that He styles His stock, that He will gather, feed and heal in this time. And is the Lord not blessing His sheep irrespective of all sectarianism? Verily He is searching them out and feeding them. Soon these will be gathered to the Heavenly fold. The Christ, Head and Body—Jesus and the Church—will be the antitypical David, or Beloved of God, into whose care all who desire to become sheep during the Millennium will be committed. The wild beasts, representing evil-doers, those who devour, destroy and harm, will be caused to cease; and the whole world will become "the fold." No longer will there be need of fences built against the enemy; for the sheep will be in a quiet, restful condition—"in the hills." JAMES H.

The judges of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia selected Attorney Fountain Peyton for the board of education as the successor of Dr. Charles H. Marshall, who was strenuously opposed by a large number of people. From the very beginning The Bee was confident that Dr. Marshall would be defeated. There were no end to candidates. Dr. Dumas, Houston, Arthur Gray, Rev. Mitchell, Archibald Grimke were the candidates of the Bruce regime, while Prof. Hershaw, Dr. Geo. W. Cabaniss, Rev. Waldron were the choice of a large number of people. Attorney Fountain Peyton was not a candidate. He never asked for the appointment and made no effort to secure it. Prof. Hershaw was similarly constituted. From the very beginning of this great contest Attorney Peyton and Prof. Hershaw stood even with the judges. Three were for Attorney Peyton and three for Prof. Hershaw and when Judge Anderson left the vote stood three for Attorney Peyton and two for Hershaw. There was a compromise on Mrs. Rhodes, who was strongly pushed by another very strong and accomplished lady. Had the appointments been made four weeks ago in all probability, Mrs. Rhodes would have been defeated. Prior to the name of Attorney Peyton being presented to the Judges, Prof. Hershaw was in the lead and if his name had not been presented Prof. Hershaw would have been appointed. At no time during the contest had the Bruce combination any show of winning a candidate. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People trotted out Rev. Mitchell, but the anti-Bruce forces made it so hot for him, that he soon said his prayers and asked the Lord to deliver him from the pursuit of the dragons, Danna and Houston got cold feet and gracefully retired. The people wanted Attorney Fountain Peyton. He is a man of the people who will execute the duties imposed upon him. He is a commoner and the people's choice who will honor and respect him. Negro codfish aristocracy has been a menace to our public school system. Favoritism has been running wild. Negro aristocracy, regardless of good morals, has been the favorites in securing positions in our schools and a reorganization and the elimination of the school system is greatly needed and no body of men knows it better than the judges of the Supreme Court who have the appointment of those who supervise the acts of the executive officers. What is greatly needed now is the reorganization of the Normal School. The present school contest has been a worry to the judges. They saw the necessity of appointing a man like Attorney Peyton who has a knowledge of existing school conditions. When the opposition saw that every candidate it brought out and made an effort to thrust him upon the judges failed, it concentrated it forces back to the predecessor of Attorney Peyton. For once in the history of our school contest the tottering administration which has been anything but successful met an ignominious defeat. A man with the executive ability that Prof. Hershaw possesses, or a man with the temperament of Prof. Montgomery or Prof. II. M. Brown would elevate our public school system. The appointment of Attorney Fountain Peyton meets the universal approval of the people and especially the people who have an interest in our school. ARCHIBALD II. GRIMKE. Before three thousand people in Convention Hall last Monday night Mr. Archibald II. Grimke delivered an address. He had a written manuscript and during its delivery he condemned American prejudice and discrimination. His indictment against race prejudice was strong and effective. In listening to such af address The Bee wondered why a man like Mr. Grimke was married to a white woman, and when he was in Boston Mass, he never associated with people of his race, because he thought himself too good to associate with them. For years, while he was a citizen and resident of Boston, Mass., his associates were white people and finding that he could not succeed in this nationality he subsequently returned to his first love; those of his own race, where he is now the leading exponent against race prejudice. If Mr. Grimke loved his race so much why did he marry a white woman! His address to the school graduates on last Tuesday night fell flat. His speech advanced no new idea, but tended to impress the people that he is a Negro in favor of equality of citizenship; that there is a great deal of race discrimination on the part of the whites against his people, when he didn't think enough of the many millions of colored women in this country to make JUST ONE of them his wife. Such subterfuge should not be tolerated by the people. It will also be remembered that Mr. Grimke is the president of an association for the advancement of colored people. This organization is a misnomer and it is doing as much good for the colored people as a Georgia mob. Speaking of Mr. Grimke's speech, it was a tectotal failure and it suggested no new thought or anything that would advance the interest of the colored people. The Bee admits that a man or a woman has a right to marry whom he or she pleases, but he or she has no right to tell the people they represent (the Negro) that the other race discriminates when he and she are the leaders of race prejudice by marrying a white man or a white woman in preference to those in their preference to those in their own race. The Bee wishes to ask Mr. Grimke why he didn't associate with the colored people when he resided in Boston, Mass., and why he married a white woman? By his failure or refusal to marry a black woman is sufficient evidence that he favored race discrimination. Is he ever seen upon the public streets with a colored woman, except his most amiable daughter? THE "GRANDFATHER CLAUSE" UNCON- The decision of the Supreme Court of the United States, on Monday, involving the validity of the "grandfather clauses" in Oklahoma and Maryland, declaring the "grandfather" qualification for voting to be repugnant to the Fifteenth Amendment, and upholding the force and regularity of said Amendment, is a matter that should be hailed with joy by all fair-minded and liberty-loving people of all races. While it will be necessary for the citizen who is denied the right to vote by reason of race, color, or previous condition of servitude, to proceed against the election officers depriving him of his right of suffrage, either by civil action, or criminal prosecution, still this decision of a unanimous court seems to settle for all time that suffrage qualifications must be of uniform application to all persons, that a man may not be deprived of his voting right because at some time in the past an ancestor was debarred of that right, and that the Fifteenth Amendment is a vital part of the Constitution of the United States. The Democratic Fair Play Association and John II. Adriaans will take notice, and govern themselves accordingly. This decision in its broad lines applies not only to Oklahoma and to Annapolis, Md., but to all the States where it has been attempted to deprive the Negro of his voting right by means of the "grandfather clause" device. Coming at this time, the decision is most welcome. We would call attention to the fact that the court spoke in this case through.Chief Justice White, who is a Democrat, an ex-Confederate soldier and a Catholic, and also appointee, to his present position, of President Taft. Will not those who at the time criticised Mr. Taft on account of this appointment confess that he did the wise and patriotic thing? It will also be remembered that Chief Justice White wrote the decision in the Knights of Pythias case. The lesson to learn from this incident is that among Democrats, ex-Confederates and Catholics there are men who love mercy and do justice. In a fact like this consists the hope we have of the ultimate trimph of righteousness and justice. We would also call attention to the fact that the IIon. Morefield Storey, president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and former President of the American Bar Association, filed a very able and learned brief in the case, as amicus curiae, on the behalf of the N. A. A. C. P. The result attained is an evidence of the watchfulness and usefulness of that organization. In the Maryland case former Attorney General Charles J. Bonparte appeared and made an argument. The Solicitor General of the United States, IIon. John W. Davis, made a very able argument on behalf of the government in the Oklahoma case. This victory seems to carry with with it a lesson that ought not to be lost sight of at a juncture like this, namely: that the best results for progress and justice are attained by the co-operation of the Negro and the white man. The colored men in Maryland and in Oklahoma who appeared before the election officers to assert their right to vote, did a worthy thing. The white men in Maryland, in Oklahoma, and in the Nation's Capital, and the National Association made up of both races, who stood by these colored voters have done a worthy thing. May we not all rejoice at a result reached in this way. THE FRANK COMMUTATION. The governor of Georgia is no doubt convinced that mob law rules in that State. Whether Frank committed murder or didn't commit murder, he did not have a fair and impartial trial because mob law reigned at the time of his trial. The presiding judge stated that he had doubts as to the guilt of Leo Frank and if that is a fact why hadn't the Governor of Georgia a right to express his doubt as to his guilt or innocence. Frank was unfortunate by being a Jew. He had no more chance of acquittal than a Negro whose innocence is now established before "Judge Lynch" renders a decision. In the exercise of his authority, the governor of Georgia stated: "The mob can come and tear me to pieces, but I will know that I have done what should be done to follow the right and uphold the honor of Georgia and the office I hold. "The ones who are howling the loudest now are the very ones who six months from now will be the first to approve my action of today. I couldn't hang any man when there was a doubt as to his guilt. I could not sit here like Pontius Pilate and turn Frank over to be executed. "I had to do what was right. The whole thing is just this—the people who are doing all the talking have not read the evidence in the Frank case."—Gov. Slaton. What caired the mob of Georgia? What does a Georgia mob care for right or justice. Hundreds of colored citizens today lie deep in their graves by a decree of a Georgia mob. The mob wanted blood and it didn't care whether that blood was obtained by fair or foul means. The people of Georgia are reaping what they have sowed. They advocated mob and lynch law, now the great governor of the state is threatened by "Judge Lynch." What a disgrace this is to the state of Georgia? What governor of any State is safe if he is called upon to exercise his executive perogative? In this instance the mob is above the law and the governor. Many an innocent man has paid the penalty of a crime that others may have committed. The governor of Georgia has given Frank the benefit of any doubt that may have been established in his mind. The action of this Georgia mob is no surprise to the civilized world. Remember the Georgia riot in which hundreds of innocent colored citizens were murdered without cause or provocation. It is no new thing for a Georgia mob to become offended and kill innocent and unoffending people. Time alone will tell whether Frank is guilty or innocent. UE APQLOGIZES A colored member of the local bar whose advertisement will appear in a coming segregated section of a local publication wrote to the manager and requested that his contract be cancelled because the article that appeared in The Bee a few weeks ago concerning "gullible Negroes" has caused race strife. Just how this gullible colored individual should say that The Bee's article caused race strife is new philosophy. The Bee said that it was a shame for colored men to spend from $35 to $400 for advertising space in a segregated publication that fails to defend their interest and the interest of the race to the exclusion of their own publi- cations that defend them. These same colored individuals earn their livelihood off colored people and if they should ask these individuals to donate or subscribe to a worthy charitable cause an insult would be offered. CAPTAIN OYSTER Our good friend, Captain Oyster, has the respect and confidence of a large portion of the colored population in this city, but if he continues in his effort to thrust the assistant superintendent of schools upon the people he will loose their respect and confidence. The Bec, as the Captain well knows, is and has been his staunch friend and supporter and in all kindness for that Old Roman, please desist. We all love you. If we had a vote today we would make you governor. DR. LUCY MOTEN The ovation that was given Dr. Lucy Moten, principal of Normal School No. 2, last Wednesday evening, will long be rememberer in the history of that great school, which she had the distinguished honor to plan. The audience showed by the applause that Miss Moten has the indorsement and approval of the people. Dr. Thurston and Chairman Blair seemed to be delighted because they knew the heroic part they took in defending this great and noble woman against Phillistines. Long live Dr. Lucy Moten. The sham aristocracy received a jar last week. It was a blow that stunned father from head to foot. Any other city but this would have had a new assistant superintendent of schools. Several school candidates are being considered by the school authorities. The Bee congratulates Mr. J. B. Lanier on his reappointment. The Bee predicted this some time ago. Mr. Lanier would make a fine president of the board of education. Why not elect him? Dr. L. B. Moore of Howard University is not to resign from the Teachers College of Howard University. Four of the teachers that were laid off at Howard University were temporary appointments only. One dismissed for cause, but in all probability he will be re-instated. The appointment of Attorney Peyton on the board of education was a compliment to the people and a blow to the ring and codfish aristoecacy. A change in the Negro school administration will be looked for with anxiety. The Sage makes a few valuable suggestions this week. ASBURY GROUND BREAKING. Monday afternoon a large number of the members and friends of Asbury Methodist Episcopal Church met to witness the beginning of the greater Asbury to be erected on the site of the old historic Asbury. At 5 o'clock the pastor, Rev. M. W. Clair, D.D., called the gathering to order and stated that it was the purpose of his congregation to erect a house to be dedicated to the worship and glory of God. During the past 79 years a church has stood on this corner and had grown to be famous throughout the country. The choir had done as much to make the church famous as anything else. One of the oldest members of the choir, John R. Cutter, was present and sang a hymn. The opening hymn was announced by Rev. W. H. Dean, and prayer was offered by Rev. W. C. Thompson. Following the prayer the 54th chapter of Isalah was read by Rev. W. S. Jackson. The pastor introduced Rev. I. L. Thomas, D.D., his predecessor, who delivered the address. All were interested throughout. The first earth was upturned with a pick especially for the occasion by the following pastors: Revs. Clair, I. L. Thomas, W. C. Thompson, J. C. Love, W. S. Jackson, W. H. Dean, Benj. Gross, L. A. Carter, C. E. Jackson, A. J. Green, M. Butler and Reed, C. The first shovelfeet of earth was thrown out by Master Moeteza Drexel Sprague, the youngest member of the congregation; following him the officers present and a goodly number of the members and friends present, young and old, threw out earth. The occasion was the beginning of an enterprise that had claimed the attention of this congregation during the past seven years. The new church is to be much larger than the church just razed. It is to be of granite with provisions for meeting the demands made upon modern Christianity, and will stand out in boldness—a monument to the faith and labors of the worshippers in this place as the years have come and gone since the first groundbreaking in 1836. These impressive ceremonies closed with singing the Doxology, the benediction being pronounced by Rev. L. A. Carter. DEATH OF MRS. NUTTER. The Wife of the Well-Known Lawyer, I. H. Nutter, Dies—A Large Funeral. Atlantic City, N. J., June 20, 1915. Special to The Washington Bee. Mrs. Alice Reed Nutter, wife of Attorney Isaac H. Nutter of this city, died at her home here, 1801 Arctic avenue, on Friday last at 12:30 p. m., after an illness of nearly a year. Mrs. Nutter was born January 12, 1884, in Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, and was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Reed, now of Coatesville, Pa. Mrs. Nutter was educated at Coatesville, Pa., and was a member of the A.M. E. church. After her school days Mrs. Nutter made her home with her parents in Coatesville, Pa., when she met and married Lawyer Isaac H. Nutter in 1902, after which they came to Atlantic City, when Mr. Nutter engaged in the practice of law and here they have since made their home. Mrs. Nutter was a woman of wide acquaintance and deep sympathies. She cared but little for society, but did much in her characteristic quiet manner in relieving the sufferings of the poor. She was decidedly a "home" woman and of the most retiring manner. During the period of her illness, Mrs. Nutter was a great sufferer, but bore her illness with rare Christian courage, patience and fortitude. The funeral held Sunday at 1:30 p.m., though private and held from her late home, was one of the largest ever witnessed in this city. As soon as her death was known the family was showered with letters, telegrams and messages of sympathy and condolence; and many of the city and state's prominent citizens called in person to offer their sympathy to the bereaved family. The funeral sermon, preached by the Rev. H. P. Anderson, of St. James A. M. E. church this city, of which church Mrs. Nutter was a communicant, was one of deep feeling, and was a great tribute to her who was one of Atlantic City's most lovable women. Floral tributes were sent by most of the city's leading citizens and many organizations sent designs. So many flowers were sent that it required two large automobiles to convey them to Pleasantsville Cemetery where Mrs. Nutter was buried. The University Club of this city and of which Mr. Nutter is a member, acted as pall bearers, and honorary pall bearers, and the music of the funeral service was rendered by the University Club Quartette which sang "Some Sweet Day," and "Jesus Knows All About Our Trouble," favorite hymns of Mrs. Nutter's. On Saturday Mrs. Nutter's remains were viewed by thousands of friends and acquaintances of herself and Attorney Nutter, who gathered to pay their last tribute of respect. Her funeral brought prominent citizens from all parts of the country. GARFIELD NOTES A sermon was preached to Azara Council, No. 862, I. O. of St. Luke, Sunday, June 20 inst., at Allen A. M. E. Church, Garfield, D. C., by Rev. Dean, of Ebenezer M. E. Church, Washington, D. C. His text, Isa. 22, 117 verse, "Watchman, what of the night? The morning cometh, and also the night." Miss Cecelia Cannon, the founder of this council, deserves great credit for her noble work and never- tiring efforts for the success of this council, which was organized March 30, 1911. Among those present were Mrs. Julia Mason Layton, the District Organizer, who acted mistress of ceremonies. We are always glad to see her smiling face and hear her pleasant voice, for she is indeed a woman whom everyone delights to hear. She delivered a short address, which was enjoyed by all. Mrs. Ferdinand Lee, District Deputy, was present, and made a few remarks. Mr. O. S. Taylor also spoke. Collection taken up amounted to $17.50. After receiving showers of spiritual blessings and enjoying the speeches delivered, the following named visitors were invited to the home of Mrs. Ella Cannon, Reynolds-Place, Garfield, D. C., where they partook of the freshest vegetables and other delicacies of the season: Rev. Dean, Prof. J. T. Layton, Ferdinand Lee, O. T. Taylor, C. E. Olden, Robert Johnson, Mrs. Julia Mason, and Mrs. Julia Mason Layton. Vote for your favorite teacher, Read the Bee Watch Contest. A $25 watch absolutely given away without any restrictions.

MRS. NORMAN'S RECITAL. Observations by Her Pupils. Editor of The Bee: I wish to state in regard to the comments given by you concerning the muscale last Wednesday evening, June 16th, was very timely and appropriate and as there were some very excellent points in each one of my pupils' performance as well as his general standing in his class. I thought it well to mention these through the columns of your very excellent paper—The Bee. Miss Beatrice Carted I consider one of my best pupils on relaxation and good technique. Clifton Jackson on memorizing; Miss Alice Peters on technique and brilliancy in playing. Miss Claudine Peace is well balanced in each of her five studies, notation, hand culture, plano selections and studies, technique and harmony. Miss Priscilla Jones, technique, rythm and phrasing. Miss Ollie Cooper in making the most rapid progress in all branches, considering the length of time she has taken. Miss Minnie Jackson in doing things very well, excellency in notation and writing music. Miss Carrollta Peters in producing a beautiful pearly touch, excellency in technique. Miss Pearl' Datcher, excellency in rythm, relaxation and touch, blessed with an admirable hand, strong, supple and well shaped, splendidly adapted for good plano playing. Miss Daisy Burroughs, excellency in notation, dictation and harmony. The small children all did well. Their qualifications are as follows': Velma Blake, excellency in memorizing, technique and hand culture. Alma Ruffin, very excellent in notation and written work. Dorothy Cole, a well balanced pupil in all her studies, notation, written work, technique, hand culture, position, piano selections and studies. Gladys Peters, aptitude in understanding the reason for things, also notation, written work and an insatiate desire to learn. Ruth Wingfield from all indications will undoubtedly develop into a good performer on the piano after having taken a sufficient length of time. Little Ruth Colston, the little prodigy, the musical genius, is excellent in all her studies. She is the third genius I have found in my twenty years' experience in teaching music. You will hear great things of her in five years hence if she pursues her studies diligently under a good instructor. She is eighth years old, in 6th grade A in the public school. Miss Alice Peters besides being a good performer at the piano, has also assisted me greatly with my 1st grade pupils; also Miss Claudine Peace and Rev. Mrs. Randolph. MISS SCOTT WINS. Dr. C. W. Childs may have his faults, but when it comes to dealing out justice and fair play to the deserving he is Johnny on the spot. At the time that Miss Scott graduated it was positively stated that she was in the tenth group and stood No. 3 in that group. For some reason or misunderstanding between those who wished to defeat her she graduated No. 17. Miss Scott's friends made a hard fight to have her returned to her proper standing but without success. Before the expiration of the school term, which was the 21st of June, sixteen had been appointed, and Miss Scott was No. 17 on the list. As Providence would have it, Miss Janie Peoples resigned. This made a vacancy, but The Bee was informed that the superintendent did not want to appoint the young lady. Her case was given to Dr. C. W. Childs. A member of the Board of Education gave Dr. Thurston to understand that Miss Scott was entitled to be appointed, and he wanted to know whether he (Thurston) intended to sign her appointment. Hot words prevailed between Dr. Childs and the superintendent. Dr. Childs informed Dr. Thurston that Miss Scott had a legal right to the place; that he did not propose to stand for any more Colored schools being closed and the salaries given to the white schools. There have been, it is stated, about two Colored schools closed unnecessarily and it is the duty of the people to make a protest before it is too late. Dr. Childs secured the appointment of Miss Scott before he left the office of the superintendent. CAPITAL CITY REPUBLICAN CLUB. A Great Organization of Colored Republicans. At a meeting of the sub-committee of the executive committee of the Capitol City Republican Club, held at the office of The Washington Bee, Tuesday night, W. Calvin chase, chairman, some minor business was transacted, namely, the application of Editor Magnus L. Robinson, formerly of Virginia, but now of the District of Columbia, and Jabez Lee, formerly city editor of The Bee, were favorably acted upon, and they were admitted to membership. C. S. Williams, chairman of the committee on law and order, offered a resolution extending the thanks of the club to the United States Supreme Court for the nullification of the Southern grandfather's clause in State constitutions disfranchising the colored voters. Attorney A. W. Scott reported to the sub-committee an increase of one hundred new members since the last meeting. Jabez Lee, chairman of the committee on floor, was authorized to select a suit of rooms for permanent headquarters. It was decided to have a picnic and barbecue some time in August. A Philanthropist and a Benefactor, Dr. W. S. Richardson, who has a chain of drugstores in this city, is a man who aids his fellowman. As president of the Drugstrict Association, he never was so narrow as to draw the color line. He is the first and only druggist to establish a colored man in business. His name is a household word among the colored people in the JOHN H. BURKE southwest and The Erc hopes to see the day when he will be elevated to an elective position by the suffrage of the people. Such a man as Dr. Richardson is an honor and a benefit to the people. The Republicans in this city are speaking strongly of urging him to represent them in the next National Republican Convention. HOWARD DENTAL PARLORS The greatest medicinal combination that has ever been in this city is the Howard Dental Parlors, Seventh and T streets northwest, with Dr. John R. Francis, Jr. Drs. Hardy, Jones and Kemp, all of whom are scientific dentists, and Miss Bell, a young lady of refinement, in charge. The people should not hesitate to visit these parlors. If the people want to see progress they should not fall to visit these parlors. The Week in Society Come for drugs. Phone for drugs. Write for drugs. Board's Drug Store, 1912½ 14th Street, is prepared to take care of all orders for drug store goods. The stock is complete and high-grade. Mr. E. H. Moody of 1306 Corcoran street northwest, clerk in the Census Bureau, has just returned from a three weeks' trip to Forest City, Ark., where he was called by the illness of his father. While in Arkansas he visited Brinkley, Pine Bluff, Helena, and other places of interest. Mr. E. W. Harrison, Superintendent of Metropolitan A. M. E. S. S. for the past year, and who has made the excellent record of not being absent or tardy once, was the recipient of a surprise gift from the officers and teachers of the S. S. in the shape of a solid silver set of teaspoons. His estimable wife shares in the gift as a recognition of loyal and faithful service. Both Mr. and Mrs. Harrison are grateful to their friends for this token of esteem. On Saturday, June 5, Mrs. Mattle Goodloe, of 1132 Nineteenth street northwest, entertained the members of the Young Ladies' Bible Class of Metropolitan A. M. E. S. S. from 4 to 7. Those on the programme were Misses Emma Patterson, Miss Annie E. Charity, Mrs. W. H. J. Beckett, Mrs. Louise K. Harrison and Mrs. Louise Boyd. Dainty and delightful refreshments were served, and all spent an enjoyable evening. Miss Eunice Thompson, who has lately returned from Wilberforce University, made quite a creditable record there, graduating with honor from the Commercial and Music Departments. partners. Mrs. S. L.

Allow me space in your valuable paper to say since I visited your city I was delighted to see such bright, intelligent faces of our race, both ladies and gentitmen, and the business transacted by them. Although it appears to me that there is more prejudice here (which ought not to be at the head of a Christian government) than we have in Pennsylvania; yet with all the advantages we seem to have in our little town, with our mixed school, we can not cope with you in education or business. While visiting the Y. W. C. A. I was more than pleased to hear the instructions given to the young ladies by the matron, Mrs. Roberts. I thought that it was so becoming along the line of life, viz.

FREE Bodies Interred NEWSBOY MAKES A FORTUNE War Brings Wealth to Youth Who Saved His Pennies. Bridgeport, Conn.—War has brought prosperity to Charles ("Buck") Rose, newsboy, twenty-two years old, so rapidly that he is, undecided whether to buy a steam yacht or a submarine. A year ago he put $100, the savings from six years' sales of newspapers, into a lot at Avon Park. In the eastern part of the city, assuming a mortgage thereon of $600. The increased sale of newspapers, due to the war, has enabled him to pay off the mortgage—but that is not all. The lot "Buck" owns stands in the path of the building progress eastward which the rapidly extending munitions plants are making. One day recently a real estate operator representing unnamed interests offered $10,000 for the lot. He was pondering over this compliment to his sagacity when a representative of the British government came along with an offer of $20,000. The conference ended when "Buck" submitted a counter proposal that the British government lease the land for a term of years at $20,000 a year and that the munitions company, for which Great Britain is eager to build a factory, give him, one-half of the profits from its product. New York.—"If the ship's officers had not assured us there was no danger and that the vessel would not sink I think more lives would have been saved." This is the opinion of Miss Virginia B. Loney of Huntington, N. Y., a survivor of the Lusitania disaster, who arrived here, accompanied by Mrs. Harry Sedgwick. Miss Loney who is sixteen, but large for her years, was greatly saddened by 1937 MISS VIRGINIA LONEY. the loss of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Allen D. Loney, who accompanied her on the disastrous trip of the Cunarder. "Five minutes before the Lusitania sank," she said, "two officers went around the deck and assured us there was no danger. As soon as the torpedo struck us my father went below to get life preservers. He procured some, but used none for himself. My father and mother both insisted that I get into one of the lifeboats that was being lowered. I did not want to leave them, but they insisted in a fond way that I go. The boat was upset and I was thrown into the sea, where I drifted for about ten minutes. Then I was picked up. My father and mother went down with the ship." Miss Loney took an oar that had fallen from the hands of a sailor who had collapsed and did her share of the rowing until the survivors were taken aboard a trawler. While the St. Paul was being conveyed through the war zone by two British destroyers, Mrs. Sedgwick, her companion, suddenly exclaimed: "See! There is a submarine!" Miss Loney became greatly agitated, and, turning her gaze from the sea, sald: "No, no! I can't stand it again." The ship's officers said the periscope of a British submarine might have been seen, but that no German craft had come to the surface during the run through the war zone. GAVE UP MORPHINE SUPPLY. Woman, Sixty-four, Then Asked to Be Sent Away. Evansville. Ind.-Declaring she was determined to win in a fight against the drug habit, to which she had been addicted many years, Mrs. Maud Lynn, aged sixty-four, walked into the office of Samuel Wurm, township trustee of Pigeon township here, and presented Wurm with a cardboard box containing about $50 worth of morphine. The woman told the trustee the morphine was all the property she had and that she wished to part with it on condition that she be sent to a sanitarium to be cured of the drug habit. She was U-51 MADE TRIP TO CONSTANTINOPLE DODGED MANY ENEMY SHIPS Attacked Four Times on Voyage From Wilhelmshaven to the Dardanelles, but Escaped Each Time by Diving. Describes How He Sank Two Big British Warships. Chicago.—In an interview with a correspondent of The Chicago Daily News, cabled from Constantinople on June 6, Captain Otto Hersling has told the story of his voyage in the German submarine U-51 from Wilhelmshaven to Constantinople, about 3,000 miles, toward the close of which he sunk the British battleships Triumph and Maeatic. "We left Wilhelmshaven April 25," Captain Hersling said. "When I was told that I was going to Constantinople I said: 'Good! That is worth while.' I let only the first officer and the chief engineer into the secret to explain the increased supplies taken aboard. We slipped quietly out of Wilhelmshaven, as have so many other submarines going into the war area. We kept on the surface most of the time, watching for big ships of the enemy, but failed to see any for a long time, to our great disappointment. "Off the coast of England we were finally fired upon by a destroyer and had to dive for safety, but along the French coast we encountered no enemy. When 100 miles from Gibraltar we were fired upon by other British destroyers. We waited outside Gibraltar and passed through the strait early in the morning in plain view, but without drawing a single shot or attracting the least attention. Those were tense but gratifying hours. "Once within the Mediterranean the watch, already exacting, was redoubled. Here again we encountered ships of the enemy near a small island, but dived to safety under fire. When passing Malta we were fired upon by a French destroyer, but were untouched. We then proceeded south of Greece into the Aegean sea and to the Dardanelles." "We arrived there on the night preceding May 25, having come from Wilhelmshaven in exactly one month. In the early morning light we saw the Triumph and the Majestic lying off the coast, constantly encircled by destroyers. Through the periscope I saw a destroyer coming directly for us. We dived, and the destroyer passed immediately over us with a sound like that of a motorcar. "We came up immediately. I took aim through the periscope and pressed the button, automatically firing the torpedo, and the projectile slipped noiselessly into the water. We dived again. The explosion which followed was as terrific as though it had been in the fore part of the submarine itself. "Then we lay hidden two days and a half," continued Captain Hersing, "after which we came up again in the midst of the British ships. Just before noon, looking through the periscope, I saw the Majestic surrounded by ten ships steaming around her in a constant circle for her protection. I could see the Majestic's sailors on the deck taking their noonday nap. 'Shall I disturb them?' I thought. Then, seeing a welcome space between the enclining ships, I pressed the electric button and the torpedo was going right. It caught the Majestic a little to the rear of amdships. "We dived again. We noticed that the bombardment from the ships had ceased, for they had been shelling the Turkish land positons. "We remained submerged for several hours, and then came to the surface to find the British ships had disappeared, and all search for them was in vain. We reached Constantinople, having passed forty-two days in the submarine without rest or change." NAVY DESERTIONS DECREASE Statistics Show That Few American Sailors Leave the Service. Washington.-Statistics complied by the navy department of the number of desertions from the navy show a marked decrease since the system, was inaugurated of putting deserters and leave breakers on parole instead of sending them to fail. During the fiscal year ended June 80, 1915, there was an average of 210 desertions a month. Admiral Fletcher has notified the secretary that during April, 1915, of the 55,000 men in the navy only sixty deserted from the Atlantic fleet. Returns have not yet been received from the Pacific and Aslatic squadrons, but Mr. Daniels said that it was safe to predict that the number would be a great deal less than in former years.

Largely Attended—Addresses by Prominent Educators. Prominent Educators. Tuskegee, Ala., June 19 (Special to the Bee)—The sixth annual session of the Summer School for Negro Teachers, attended by 372 teachers from thirteen states, which opened Monday with the largest enrollment in its history, was characterized on Monday by an address by Dr. Booker T. Washington, principal and founder of Tuskegee Institute; on Tuesday by Mr. James L. Sibley, supervisor of Negro rural schools, and by George R. Bridgeforth, director of Agriculture; on Wednesday a stirring speech by Miss Nona J. Ogburn, of Montgomery, and on Thursday Mr. C. W. Hare of Tuskegee spoke on "The Newspaper and the Teacher." In his address Dr. Washington urged upon the teachers to realize the responsibility of their calling and called upon them to enter heartily into the work of reducing the illiteracy of Alabama. Speaking to the James Fund teachers, and agents of the Homemakers Clubs, Mr. Sibley outlined the work for the thirty-one teachers working in twenty-five counties of the State and said the plan was to have the 5,800 girls composing the Homemakers Clubs to put up a half million jars of fruit during the year, thus helping Alabama to "feed herself." These clubs put up 46,000 jars of fruit last year. The Jeanes Fund teachers in connection with their other duties raised $30,000 last year among the colored people alone, to build school houses, improve old ones and supplement salaries of teachers and extend the school terms. George B. Bridgeforth explained the scope of work covered by the Movable Schools, for Negro farmers and spoke of the benefits Negro farmers in Alabama have derived from the Smith-Lever bill. Miss Ogburn, a teacher of primary grades in the Montgomery city white schools, practicetally launched the crusade against illiteracy in the South among the colored people. She said, among other things, that the white people should teach, their colored servants to read and write, citing the success of her mother in teaching her cook, over sixty years of age, to read and write in six weeks. Mr. Hare said that no teacher can be thoroughly equipped for his work in the school room without a daily or weekly paper. While the pulpit reaches the people once a week, he declared, the newspaper reached them every day. Prof. Isaiah J. Whitely, principal of the Plateau Industrial Institute, Plateau, Alabama, closed the lectures on Friday for the week. He spoke on "Making the School a Community Center," giving concrete examples of what he has accomplished along that line in the Plateau, the Negro community adjacent to Mobile. Of the 372 teachers registered during the week 220 are from points in Alabama, 70 from Georgia, and 30 camo from Mississippi; Tennessee follows with 13. Greater Birmingham leads the cities with 40. The other states represented are Texas, Arkansas, North Carolina, Kentucky, Louisiana, Florida, South Carolina, Oklahoma, and Indiana.

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. II. Hawsnyder, 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 Hawsnyder since. The other day a stranger inquired where he could find Gus Garner. "That's me," said Garner. "Did you ever know W. H. Hawanyder?" 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 died and left you his $40,000 estate."

Consecration of Life a Further Evidence—How We Become Brethren of Christ—Walking In His Steps—Careful Training Bestowed Upon the Members of God's Family—Transformation Work—Character-Likeness to Our Elder Brother, the Lord Jesus. Denver, Colo. June 20. — Pastor Russell is here today. We report his discourse from the text, "He that despiseth you despiseth Me; and he that despiseth Me despiseth Him that sent Me." (Luke 10:10). He said in part: PASTOR RUSSELL By nature we are all children of wrath, sinners under sentence of death. God indeed tells us that He purposes to bless the world by and by, through the great Mediatorial Kingdom that will rule the world for a thousand years to help mankind find out of degradation, sin and death to full perfection of human nature; and that He has appointed Jesus Christ to be the Mediator between Himself and the world during those thousand years. Meantime, He has also purposed to take out of the world some who will have the same mind as was in Christ Jesus, and to associate this class with our Lord in the work of blessing the world. Jesus Himself will be the Head over this company, and they will be the Body of Christ. Whoever desires to become a member of this Body which God is selecting must comply with the required conditions. Evidently the one quality for which God is looking is honesty, sincerity; He desires really true and really loyal hearts. One might be very careful to a penny in respect to money obligations, and yet not be strictly and thoroughly honest. He might overestimate himself and underestimate others. Some people are born with an honest disposition. All whom God is now receiving are of this honest-hearted kind. If He has thus favored us with the Truth, it is for us to maintain this honesty; for unless honesty enters into all the affairs of life, it will be impossible to maintain our relationship with the Lord. We cannot be too careful with our conscience; we cannot be too honest. We cannot think of the Lord Jesus as being dishonest or of the Apostles as giving misinformation. Therefore it is evident that they did not believe in Hell fire and eternal torment; for we cannot think that they would have omitted preaching about eternal torment if they had believed it. We love to think of the Apostles as being honest men, in favor with God. There is a tendency on the part of all mankind to say, "I am all right." But everybody who is not an idiot knows differently. "There is none righteous, no, not one. All have sinned and come short of the glory of God"—short of that glorious condition which God approved when He created our first parents. We all come short of that perfection of human nature. But if we confess our sins, we demonstrate our honesty; and He who arranged for the forgiveness of those sins is faithful to forgive us. If we assert that we are not sinners, we make God a liar; and the truth is not in us—we would be dishonest. We should be honest enough to tell God that we desire to be right.—1 John 19, 10. The Terms of Discipleship. Whoever would become a member of the Body of Christ must first turn away from sin and turn toward God. To those who have taken that step and are desirous of progressing, the Lord Jesus says, "Sit down and count the cost." The Bible never urges anybody along this line. (Luke 14.27, 2S) People who do not understand the Bible work upon one's emotions in urging others to give themselves to God. They do not understand that God's way is to think everything out carefully; that God's Plan is very cool and calculating, and that everything concerning it is to be determined intellectually. There is only one way of becoming a Christian, and that is by entering into a covenant with the Lord. This covenant is a positive agreement, in which we give ourselves in sacrifice—to renounce everything of an earthly nature. This is the kind of covenant which our Lord Jesus made; it is the only kind to be made now. (Psalm 50:5.) Jesus made His Covenant of Sacrifice at the beginning of His ministry, as it is written: "Lo, I come (in the volume of the Book it is written of Me) to do Thy will, O God." (Hebrews 10:7.) Whoever would be a follower of the Lord must make this same covenant. It did not take our Lord long to count the cost; for He had such a high appreciation of the privilege that He delighted to give Himself to God. He manifested loyalty to that consecration throughout His life-time, even unto the death of the Cross. "Wherefore God also hath highly exalted Him and given Him a name which is above every name; that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, * * * * and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."—Philippians 2.9. 10. Giving Up One's Will. The Church are to be joint-heirs with Christ. "If we suffer with Him we shall reign with Him. If we be dead with Him, we shall live with Him." (2 Timothy 2:11, 12) It is no wonder that there are terms attached to so high a calling! These terms we have in Jesus' own words: "If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, take up his cross and follow Me"—Matthew 16:24. The first step is to will to be Christ's discipline. The next step is to deny himself—to give up his own will and to take the Lord's will instead of his own. The will represents the man. If we deny ourselves, if we give up our own wills, it carries everything absolutely that we possess. But do not give up your will to anybody except the Lord. This does not mean that we shall not be considerate of others and not try to yield to others. The people of God should be ready to favor others. We should be willing to give up our preferences in matters of no importance. But it is another thing to give over what we shall think and what we shall do. Whoever does so would not thereafter have control of his body. This is exactly what the evil spirits endeavor to have us do. They desire to get control of the human will, and thus to have control over the human body. When a person becomes thus possessed, the evil spirits get control of his mind and he cannot think for himself, because his will is gone. This is also true of a person who has come under the power of hypnotism. But it is an altogether different matter to yield the will to our Lord Jesus Christ. God has tried and tested our Lord Jesus, and has get Him to be the Head over the Church, which is His Body; and all the members of that Body must give up their wills to their Head. The Spirit of the Head, the mind of Christ, must operate in every member. A Transformation Work Going On. From the time one becomes a member of the family of God a great work of transformation is in progress. As members of the Adamic race all are imperfect—mentally, morally and physically. But this class who feel their condition and are honest about the matter come weekly to the Lord and accept the riches of His grace in Christ Jesus. When they receive their change in the glorious First Resurrection there will be nothing ignoble about them, as there is now. Just as surely as they are seeking to know and to do the will of the Lord, in that same proportion will they come into harmony with that will, and thus be blessed in their minds and their bodies. The peace of God, that passes all human understanding, will rule in their hearts and in their lives. Fear and worry constitute a great part of the trouble that is upon the world, bringing all kinds of disease to mind and body. But when we cast all our care upon Him who cares for us, the load of care rolls away from us. Although the Lord has not promised His Church earthly blessings of any sort—neither earthly riches nor health nor any of these things—nevertheless in His providence He has granted to us many physical blessings. Whoever is with the Lord and His Word and in the company of His children is sure to be benefited; for He shows us the way we should take. As whoever associates with cultured people is sure to absorb their ways, no matter how humble the condition in which he has been brought up, so whoever is associated with the Lord Jesus Christ is sure to be blessed. Despising the Brethren. The point we desire to make is that whoever is in company with God must be right in heart. No matter how imperfect that person may be by nature, there is something right about him; else God would never have recognized him as being of His people. Therefore "whosoever receiveth you receiveth Me, and whosoever despiseth you despiseth Me; and whosoever despiseth Me, despiseth Him that sent Me." Our Lord is still present in the flesh—the flesh of His consecrated members; and the world still despises Him as at first and as He foretold, saying, "If the world hate you, ye know that it hated Me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love its own." (John 15:18, 19.) The world is still ashamed of Christ. Nominal Christians, nominal Spiritual Israelites, are as much ashamed of Him today as were the Natural Israelites eighteen centuries ago. When we consider that our Lord is represented in the flesh by the members of His Body in the flesh, we see that love for the brethren means love for the Lord. Hence the Apostle declares that love of the brethren is one of the great tests of our relationship to our Lord and to the Father. "He who loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God, whom he hath not seen?" (1 John 4:20.) "Love one another as I have loved you," is, therefore, the recognized test of discipleship; and whoever is ashamed of the brethren is ashamed of the Elder Brother, who counts all the younger brethren as Himself. It may be a new thought to some that in despising the brethren they are desplising the Lord; that in being ashamed of the brethren they are being ashamed of the Lord, and that thus they are demonstrating that they are not fit for the Kingdom, that they have not reached the mark of perfect love, that they have not only not learned to love their enemies, but not learned to love those who are striving to walk in the footsteps of Christ. How our Lord's words sift and test our very innermost thoughts! Following the Master's Steps. On the other hand, we are not so much astonished that we should be deplied. By nature we were children of wrath, even as others of Adam's family, and we had no pre-eminence above any others of humanity. But it surely does surprise us to learn that our Lord Jesus should be deplied. We remember the record that He was perfect—perfect to that extent that He could say, "He that hath seen Me hath seen the Father." No human being can see a spirit being. But since Adam, who was created perfect, was in the image and likeness of God, whoever would see a perfect human being would see the earthly representative of the Heavenly Father. Since our Lord Jesus was a perfect man while on earth, in full harmony with the Father, whoever saw Him saw the Father in the only way in which it was possible for humanity ever to see God. As the Apostle says, "No man hath seen God at any time; the Only Begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He hath revealed Him"—our Lord has made the Father known to us. Hence the Church, in seeing Jesus, were becoming acquainted with the Father. We can very well perceive, then, the purport of our Lord's words that whoever desplised Him would be desplising the Father who had sent Him. To us it seems a very different matter when He said, "He that despiseth you despiseth Me." How poorly we represent our Lord! How imperfect our representation of Him! It is very wonderful that our Lord should consider us as His members in any such way as this. It implies that He confers upon us a great honor, especially when we consider how imperfect we are. "There is none righteous, no, not one"; hence for our Lord to say that whoever receives one of His little ones is receiving Him, and that whoever despises one of His little ones is despiscing Him, seems very wonderful. Herein is an important lesson for us. As we realize, then, that we are down near to the close of the Gospel Age and that the time is at hand for the rendering of our accounts, let us be faithful in confessing the Lord, His Truth and the brethren. Then when we shall have finished our course with joy, we shall hear His "Well done, good and faithful servant! Thou hast been faithful over a few things; I will make the ruler over many things. Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord!" Love For the Brethren. The Lord's will concerning all His followers is that they should love one another as He loved them. St. John amplified the statement, saying that as Jesus loved the Church and laid down His life for the Church, so also His followers should lay down their lives for the brethren. (1 John 3 10.) If this is the standard which our Lord has set for His people, how surely disappointed will some be who have ignored this requirement! If, instead of loving the brethren and laying down their lives for them, some have said all manner of evil against them, what then? Then those who do those things are surely brethren! It is well that Christians note carefully the insidious canker which gnaws at the root of brotherly love, which tends to poison the disposition and to bring forth the evil fruitage of anger, malice, batred, envy and strife. The wrong spirit is a growth, a development. Apparently, in some cases, the spirit of pride, the spirit of sectarianism, the spirit of ambition, are the leading incentives to the wrong course, which, if permitted to affect the heart, will develop a bad fruitage—which will produce false breathen, persecuting brethren, heady, high-minded, blind to the real spirit of the Master. Whoever would be found worthy to be forever with the Lord to share His glory and be associated with Him in His future work must be transformed in character, must be renewed in heart, must become not only pure in heart intention, but so far as possible pure in word and deed. Oh, how much the true followers of Jesus should seek to impress upon themselves the great lesson that love does no ill to his neighbor, that love is sympathetic, suffereth long and is kind, is not puffed up, vaunteth not itself, seeketh not its own interest and welfare merely, but the interest and welfare of others! The supreme test of our loyalty to God is our love for Him; and this love is manifested by our desire to do those things acceptable to Him. (1 John 2.3.) There is little that we can do for the Almighty. He is so great and we are so small. But if we have His Spirit of love, then we shall love all those who love Him, and our conduct toward them will demonstrate the real sentiments of our hearts. Thus seen, we are daily making our record in the Lord's sight, daily showing Him to what degree we are worthy or unworthy of His great reward, which will go only to those in whom love abounds—in whom the Spirit of Christ abounds. Let us then be more and more on guard against the encroachments of the Adversary upon us as New Creatures! Let us more and more show forth the praises of Him who has called us out of darkness into His marvellous light! And in no way can we better show forth these praises than by exemplifying in our daily conduct the lessons which we have learned of Him. "Let us not be weary in well-doing; for in due season we shall reap if we fail not." According to the riches of His grace He will "do exceedingly abundantly above all that we can ask or think." SHOCK OF BATTLE CAUSES RARE ILLS WALKING GAIT IS CHANGED. Soldiers Not Hit by Shells Act as if on a Tight Rope, He Says—Describes Effects of Poisonous Gases and the Incessant Gasping For Breath—Mortality Is Very High. New York.—Sir William Osler, regius professor of medicine at Oxford, gives another interesting side light on England as seen from the medical viewpoint. His letter is published in the Journal of the American Medical association. Types of nervous disorders seen very rarely in this country or in Europe have manifested themselves as a result of the extraordinary stress and strain of trench fighting. One of these disorders is a temporary paralysis without actual injury due to close proximity of an explosion. This is known to military surgeons as "shell shock paraplegia." Another is the "psychic knockout," in which the victim remains in a stuporous state, with loss of memory and complete speechlessness or stammering. Recovery follows in a few days, as a rule, but extreme nervous irritability may persist for weeks. In many cases the walking gait is changed in all sorts of curious ways. One remarkable case is described in detail by the patient himself. Here the effort at balancing the body when walking resembled a tight rope walker's efforts. Commenting on his experience with soldiers, Professor Osler says that trench warfare is evidently a "nerve racking business," causing all sorts of troubles from simple nervous breakdown to severe functional disorders. "In many cases tobacco is a factor. The hardened veteran' may smoke from twenty to thirty cigarettes a day 一 SIR WILLIAM OSLER. without inconvenience, but the unseasoned soldier cannot stand such excess. Among the convalescents many cases of rapid pulse and slight anenilia are, I believe, due to tobacco." Gas poisoning is spoken of also. The high explosive shells, the hand grenades and shrapnel all do great damage, but none of them is quite so frightful as the deadly gases. Victims of gas poisoning do not always die at once, but drag out a lingering and painful death, caused by a suffocative swelling in the lungs. Professor Osler has seen thirty cases, of which number only three were very severe. "The other patients," he says, "were convalescent, and nothing amiss could be determined on physical examination, but in several cases there was functional disability. One man had suppression of the breath sounds; neither the inspiratory or expiratory murmurs could be heard distinctly. Anatomically, it is an acute bronchitis. The gas appears to be chlorine. Masks saturated with solutions of sodium hyperchlorine, with glycerin to keep the material moist, appear to be an efficient protection. Certainly the gas is a great addition to the frightfulness of war." BELGIAN FARMERS COMING. Farms Have Been Stocked For the Colony Near Wilmington, N. G. London. A small party of Belgian farmers whose farms have been laid waste will leave Liverpool shortly for New York en route to farms near Wilmington, N. C. The farms have been stocked for them, houses erected and furnished. Steamship and railway lines are co-operating by reducing fares; so that the whole journey may be accomplished for as little as $25 per head. The colony will be known as Little Belgium. The project has been approved by the American secretary of agriculture. Specials For Week of June 30; 1915 40c Castor Oil ..... 25e 4 oz. Comp.

Recently Mr. and Mrs. Julius Rosenwald, of Chicago, Ill., in celebrating the twenty-fifth anniversary of their marriage, distributed five thousand dollars among the teachers of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, Alabama, on the basis of faithfulness, length of service, etc., with fifteen years of service as the minimum limit. This is probably the first instance in the history of the ccountry where any such sum of money has been distributed among teachers in white or colored schools in recognition of long and faithful service. Mr. Rosenwald sent to each of the teachers at Tuskegee, so recognized, a warm and cordial letter of appreciation, concluding with these words: "Tuskegee can only continue to prosper and grow and prove an effective influence for usefulness to the nation and to the Negro race as the workers are earnest, sincere, and sympathetic; and I am sure you will in the future, as in the past, do your part to strengthen and uphold the hands of those charged with the responsibility of carrying on the work." MOSES DADE. One of the Most Popular Buffets in the City—A Man of the People and Popular with the Masses—He Wins His Fight. Mr. Moses Dade, 1216 Pennsylvania avenue northwest, conducts one of the best buffets in this city. His temporary closing of his restaurant has only made him stronger, in the estimation of those who are able to aid one in business. Mr. Dade has a buffet, dining room and billiard parlors that the people appreciate. His pool and dining rooms have been remodeled and highly renovated and are now open for business. There is one commendable characteristic about Mr. Dade, he is surrounded by his brothers who are as loyal to the success of his business as he is in obeying the law. His brothers are men who are never idle. They all deal in flowers and plants and when they are not busy in the buffet they are dealing in flowers and plants. Every December, Mr. Dade, in connection with his brothers, carries on one of the largest spaces in Christmas wreathes, trees, and other decorations that can be found in the market. If you want first-class service, an hour or an evening of pleasure, go to Moses Dade, where you can be served with a lunch, dinner, or anything in the cafing line. Mr. Dade is popular with all classes. This was evidenced in the Excise Board a few weeks ago. All classes of citizens regardless of color, officials of the government, appeared before the board and gave him a record of which any one would feel proud. Don't forget his place—1216 Pennsylvania avenue northwest. Mrs. Mary Jane Gilmore died last Sunday, June 13, at the residence of her son, Mr. A. D. Gilmore, 1533 Fifteenth street.

Richmond, Va., June 20—For some time burglars had made efforts to enter the residence of Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, secretary of the Independent Order of St. Luke's, so Mr. Walker and his son arranged a scheme, as they thought, to capture the alleged burglar. Mr. Walker took up a position upon the roof of his house while his son, who had not arrived when he had gone upon the roof, took a position on the lower floor of the home after his arrival, not knowing that his father was upon the roof. While waiting for the appearance of the supposed burglar young Walker spied someone upon the roof of his home, and being a good marksman he fired and instantly killed his father. Mr. Walker was buried Wednesday. NEW DEPARTMENT STORE. Go and visit the new Colored department store where everything you want is sold, fS32 Fourteenth street N.W. HARLAN'S.
