Ten White Educators at Tuskegee Summer School for Negro Teachers—Dr. Hinds After Files. Tuskegee, Ala., July 9. Special to The Bee. The closing of the fourth week of the sixth annual session of the Tuskegee Summer School for the 430 colored teachers from fourteen States was characterized by the presence on the stage of the Assembly Room, Academic building, of ten prominent white Southern educators whose word of encouragement to the Negro teachers were thoroughly appreciated, judging by the frequent applause and the words of response by J. R. E. Lee, director, and the resolution of thanks unanimously adopted by the hundreds of teachers and their in-structors, and the characteristic address of Dr. Booker T. Washington. Occupying the stage were: S. I. Smith, state agent, Tennessee; Jackson Davis, field agent, General Board of Education; N. G. Newbold, state agent, North Carolina; Dr. B. C.

Floyd, the inimitable humorist, of Augusta, Ga., who gave a delightful entertainment to the teachers at the Chapel, Thursday night, was prevailed upon to recite before the audience one of his original compositions. This part of the program was generously applauded by the white visitors. Mr. Smith's Address. Mr. S. L. Smith was on the program to speak on "Home Economics in the Schools," but Mr. Sibley, who had taken the party to Auburn and returned late, requested that Mr. Smith might speak on Negro Education in Tennessee. Mr. Smith declared that out of 88 colored teachers examined for license in one county only two failed—a man and his wife—it being discovered that the wife copied her husband's examination papers; that the Legislature of his State had passed a law taking the Department of Education entirely out of politics; that not even the Governor of the State is a member of the Board of Education; that one of the problems of education in his State is to find competent Jeanes Fund supervising agents to teach industries in the colored schools; that in Shelby county of his State, with a Negro population of 17,000 there is only one Jeanes Fund supervising teacher; that in his State it is mandatory on teachers to attend the Summer Schools, and in one school 397 had enrolled; that all male teachers were required to teach Manual Training in the schools, and all female teachers were to teach Domestic Science; that Tennessee wants industrial supervising teachers trained at Tuskegee and similar schools; that the colored people of the State had raised $15,000 to establish an industrial training school for teachers; that the white people of his state are helping the colored in this work; that while examinations of teachers are a "necessary evil" every teacher that remains at Tuskegee until he finishes will be admitted to teach in his State without being examined. This, he said, is what he has to say about Negro Education in Tennessee. Mr. Williamson, of Lowndes county, Alabama, said: "You have the opportunity of setting the pace of your people for a hundred years. I am convinced that the colored man can succeed. I have watched you for years and I know you can take on education like other people—industrial and otherwise. You have not had the white man's chance, but you are taking on and succeeding better than your friends, North and South expected. You have no trouble to work things up, the trouble comes from keeping things going. You must consolidate and build school houses and teach the four H's—the Head, the Heart, the Hand, and Health." I stand for the consolidation of the schools." Dr. Hinds. Dr. W. E. Hinds, state entomologist, by means of charts, taught a very effective and impressive lesson on "The Evils of the Fly." Among other things he declared that the most important phase of sanitation is that relating to the care and disposal of human excretions; that carelessness in that matter is responsible for a great increase in sickness and in an extremely high death rate. Dr. Hinds declared further that typhoid fever, cholera, diarrhoea, dysentery, summer complaints, tuberculosis, quently transmitted by files which breed in or feed upon human excrement. In Alabama alone, he said, in 1913, six thousand babies died before becoming two years of age. There would also four thousand deaths from tuberculosis and nine hundred deaths from typhoid fever. Thousands of these deaths might have been prevented had there been proper information and practice regarding the use of sanitary closets. Dr. Hinds has made the startling statement that practically half of the homes and schools in the rural districts of the South are unprovided with sanitary closets. If one is called a hero who risks his life to save another's life what should one be called who may save the lives of many by providing in his yard a sanitary closet. Dr. Hinds stated further that fight on the fly should begin with schools. In this work superintendents, teachers and parents should engage. Good closets, he said, cost less than doctor's bills and coffins. If disease he said, is no respector of persons it is certainly very hard on colored people. Dr. Hinds closed his very in structive lecture with an appeal to the teachers for sanitation in the homes, in the schools, and in the communities. Filth and files, he said, spell death. Dr. DeGraffenreid is one of the most enthusiastic superintendents working for the uplift of all in Russell county. He had driven one hundred miles across the country to attend the meeting today. He said it was his deep and abiding conviction that the school should teach a boy or a girl how to do something—how to make a decent living. "I believe that the education of the boy in the country should make him a better farmer." This applies to white and colored alike, he said. "I know of a man in Macon county who raised pork at three cents per pound. That's the right kind of training. I believe in people who can produce results." Mr. Lee stated that Mr. DeGraffenried not only gave land to start a colored school in his community, but gave the money, also. Dr. Caldwell was just from a tour of Louisiana, Texas and Arkansas, and gave a glowing account of the progress the colored people have along educational lines. Mr. Jenning's said that Mr. DeGraffenried could do the talkling, but he could do the work. Mr. Sibley said his party enjoyed their visit to Auburn, but this meeting was the best. Dr. Washington thanked the white visitors for their words of encouragement and said he hopes the time would come when education in every community would be regarded as necessary to the community as a carpenter or blacksmith. "We are fast coming to that point," he said. "I don't believe in the "ifs" in the school room. Instead of saying 'if a hog in New York weighs 200 pounds,' go out and look at your own hog and weigh it and say, 'My hog weighs 200 pounds and is worth so much.'" After hearing a sermon by Dr. Whittaker, Sunday morning on "The Labors of True Christian Teachers," using as his text, John 9: 4, the work of the fifth week will begin Monday, when Dr. Washington will begin a series of lectures to the teachers and continue those lectures through the week.

Little Rock, Ark., July 12, 1915. Mifflin Wistar Gibbs, Negro, 92 years old, a former city judge of Little Rock and once United States Consul to Madagascar, died at 5:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon at his residence, 1518 Chester street. He was ill several months. He is survived by two daughters, Hattie Gibbs Marshall of Washington D. C., and Ida Alexander Hunt of Sant Etrenne, France, and one son, Horace Gibbs, of Aurora, Ill. Funeral arrangements will be announced later. Judge Gibbs was born in Philadelphia, April 17, 1823. He was educated in the public schools of that city. Left an orphan when a youth, he learned the carpenter's trade, continuing his studies at night. It was during this period of his life that he came in touch with Fredarick Douglass, Richard Allen, William Loyd Garrison and others. He accompanied Frederick Douglass on several occasions, pleading the cause of his people. In 1850 he sailed for San Francisco, seeking gold. He arrived there in September of that year. After following his trade for a year, he entered business and was very successful. Later he moved to Victoria, British Columbia. In 1866 he was elected to the Common Council of the city of Victoria, his first entry into political life. He became a contractor and within three years amassed a considerable fortune. In 1870 he returned to Obrilin, Ohio. Here he entered the Oberlin Law School and later was graduated with honor. After graduating he decided to live in the South and went first to Florida in 1871. He remained in that state only a short time, coming to Little Rock in May, 1871. He entered the practice of law and in 1872 joined in partnership with Loyd G. Wheeler under the firm name of Wheeler & Gibbs, with offices in the old bank building, corner Markham and Center streets. He became active in political affairs and in 1874 was elected city judge. He was a republican and was identified with that party during reconstruction days, being associated with Gen. Powell Clayton, Col. A. S. Fowler, the late Col. William G. Whipple and the late Judge John McGuire. In 1876 he was elected presidential elector, receiving the highest vote cast. He voted for Rutherford B. Hayes, who was elected president. He was appointed register of the United States Land Office, Little Rock district, November 10, 1877, by President Hayes. November 2, 1881, he was reappointed register of the Land Office by President Chester A. Arthur, holding that position for eight years. March 8, 1897, he was appointed receiver of public moneys, Little Rock, by President Benjamin Harrison. On December 18, 1897, President William McKinley named him an United states consul to Madagascar. He held this post until 1901, when he resigned and returned to this country. He was a delegate to every republican convention from 1872, when U. S. Grant was nominated, until 1899, when he cast his vote for William McKinley. During his early manhood he traveled and lectured throughout the North and West, being associated with Frederick Douglass, William Loyd Garrison, and others of national fame. He knew personally Harriet Beecher Stowe, Frances Ellen Harper and John Brown. His wide travel and large acquaintance with people of prominence covering a period of 66 years in public life is shown in "Shadow and Light," an antobiography written and published by him in 1902 His standing for years as a leader among his people and as their representative in political, financial and social affairs, brought him the confidence of both races. The school board recently honored him by naming the Negro high school for him. He has contributed very largely to the library of that school. Only a few years ago he donated ground upon which to erect a home for aged Negro women and he has given generously to the support and maintenance of that institution. He leaves a large etate. New Flrm. Mr. C. H. Jacobs, successor to Anton Fischer, 523 412-2 street southwest, has added to his business a strictly pure ice cream of the very highest quality, which is being called for in great quantities. Mr. Jacobs is a fine ice cream manufacturer, and the extra quality and the courteous deportment of Mr. Jacobs is adding daily to already increasing trade. STATE. No one appreciates a good drug store such as you find at Junction of 63d street northeast better than those living in the suburbs and adjacent subdivisions along the electric line. This is one of the best kept drug stores east of F street northwest and Mr. H. Edgar Lewis, the proprietor, knows how to cater to the wants of the people. You find everything in this drug store that you will find in up-to-date drug stores in the city, with prices the same. (By the Sage of the Potomac) Atlantic City, N. J. Before I left your city I didn't know my destination. However, I concluded that I would run down here and see what I could see. There are more chocolate browns at Cape May than I have witnessed for some time. I took a run to Cape May just to see my old friend Dale. He had no idea that he was talking to the Sage, and neither did the Washington chocolate drop that happened to be there at the time. I had a most delightful time, but talk is what is to be done with Lord Fauntleroy. I am quite confident, if he doesn't take indefinite French leave, Congress will give him his passport in December. You know that my predictions never fail. Lord Fauntleroy is just as sure to go as I am here at the seashore. Doc Childs is making his last days on the Board of Education memorable. He will soon follow his friend Dr. Marshall. Lord Fauntleroy made every effort to land one of the advancement members, but not even our great and distinguished friend could stand by his recommendation. I see by a local contemporary that the female members of the Chocolate Society and the mother of Lord Fauntleroy, have gone to the Exposition. The next female chocolate member of the Board of Education will be selected from the people. She will not be taken from the Chocolate smart set. I was wondering how a person, as soon as he is elevated to office, he gets affected with a swell head. You can always tell what a person is used to the moment you elevate him to a position above the one he holds. Do you know, my friend Dr. Bond has the proper conception of life. He has a philosophy of his own, and he knows how to use it. I will not tell the Sage readers what it is, because it will not be fair to the Doctor. Did you say that he is to be named? That is not one of the morals in his philosophies. You should ask him for a copy of his book on marriages and divorces; or rather ask him to write a thesis on that subject. Why, he is a genius; a perfect Pluto. His coming book, I understand, is on bachelor's life. Speaking about bachelors, are about one hundred of them here. They only talk to married ladies. They seem to have a particular fancy or admiration for the married sect. They know though that it will be impossible for them to hang up, or in plain vernacular, marry in haste. When a bachelor gets byeond the age of 40 he is beyond redemption. If a body or any lady has her eye on a bachelor, and he is hard to move write to the Sage for the remedy to catch him. There is only one way to catch a bachelor. I am just having a free and easy time here. I have been to two swell dances. My old friend Jack Lightfoot is true to the limolight. The saddest blow that has struck this section for some time was, the death of Mrs. Nutter. She was a most amiable woman and most devoted wife. I ran across a surprise to-day while passing down one of the popular streets on which stands one of the most swell hotels in the city. I saw one of our Washington teachers hashing. I don't object to a person earning an honest living, but it does look had to see a teacher who is prominent at home, and would insult society if he or she would dub him or her a waiter or waitress. I want you to look out for me next week; there will be something doing. I saw my old friend Dr. Pierce on the board-walk Sunday. He was in his glory. He wasn't alone, either. I don't know whether she was a blond or a brunette. My escort thought it was his sister. At any rate it was Sam Pierce. The chocolate browns on the board-walk are not numerous enough to make a speck. I went to the Inlet, and had it not have been for my better half I would have gone overboard, and then some one would have written my obituary. Would not that have been a sad calamity? Lord Fauntroy would have written my epithet and denied it after the resurrection. Speaking of lawyers, The Bee informed me last week that Judge Terrell has retained Armond Scott and A. W. Gray to assist in showing that his legitimate indebtedness is real and genuine. If showing will do the business Armond and Guss will turn the trick. By the way, the visiting Elks are opposed to a third term. My friend Milton's chances for a third term is growing beautifully small. It is an unwritten law that no third term was ever known to succeed. It is one of the crimes of the 19th century. I shall return to Cape May Saturday, and then return to Washington. I left Cape May last Wednesday night after having spent some time in Atlantic City. I am surprised at the growing sentiment in this yer town about liquor. These anti-saloon folks say they are going to make Washington as dry as the desert of Sahara. If they do, I know about twenty of my personal and intimate friends what will move across the line into some State where distilled stuff continues to radiate sunshine and discord. Washington dry? Holge, it makes my blood run cold to think of it. When the anti-saloon folks announced it here Saturday, I drapped around and asked my friend Will Martin what he thought of it. He said he himself had been coverting on the water wagon for many months now, and it would not injure his appetite one iota, but he said it would sure rob him of a lot of good paying clients. Then I met up with Armond Scott, and asked him what he would do if Washington blow dry. "Dry," he shriek. "why, man, if this town goes dry I'm a broke man." Then he added that he himself very seldom took a smile, except when he met a few congenial friends, which was two or three times a day, and then he just drank one or two lemonades for a bluff and a bottle or two of ginger ale. I happened to run into Judge Terrell, and knowing Judge's strong antisaloon, anti-liquor and anti-beer sentiments, I popped the question to him as to what he thought of Washington going dry. The Judge turned pale; fact, his countenance became o'ercast with a sickly pale complexion; but he promptly replied that it would be a splendid thing; that he himself took his mint without any julip, and always drank the foam without any beer, and always drank sours without anything in them except a bit of lemon and just a suspicion of sugar, so the town going dry would not interfere with his stomach's daily programme any more than ice interfered with Laplanders. I immediately put Judge down as being with us anties. The very next man I ran into was Dancy, the Hon. John C. Dancy, who, for about 28 years, made a specialty of holding office. I asked him what he thought of Washington going dry. Flecking a few beads of beer foam but of the bead of his coat, what had blown there from a brewery wagon what had just past on the street, my friend Dancy said he favored a dry town. "You see," he said, expectorating over his left shoulder as a sign of telling the truth, "I am a strong anti-treating and anti-tipping advocate, and all of us anti-treating and anti-tipping advocates favor a landscape similar to Seharrn, except for a few oasis here and there. As for myself, it is notorious I never indulged; that is, I never look on the wine when she is red. My attitude towards liquor is so well known to Judge Terrell and other high dignitaries that I was long ago recruited as an anti-saloon man on special occasions.. I realize, however, that occasionally the stomach demands copious draughts of the amber fluid as purely a medicinal treatment. Travelling as much as I do, I am frequently sick, but—" and he paused here as for reflection, "you can announce me as a dry man." The next fellow I ran into was Wash Woods. I said, "Wash, the anti-saloon folks say they are going to give us a dry Washington. What do you say to that?" Wash's small, fertile eyes limped a limited limp as he replied, "When she does go dry just come down to the Union Station and you will see your old friend Wash, grip all packed, and ticket all bought, headed for some moonshine district." With that Wash moved away. I asked Aaron Gaskins what he thought of Washington becoming dry, and he spit in my face. Honor bright, he did. I called up Prof. George Cook and cased over to him the purposes of the anti-saloon folks, and he shouted back, "Glorious news. You know I'm the original dry man, and Judge Terrell can affirm that. Excuse me while I call up Brother Grinke, and tell him about it." Then I ran into Dr. Williamston, and told him about it. "Perish the thought," said the Doctor. "Washington dry? Why, man, you must be crazy. Take all the sunshine out of the life of Bob Allen's regular patrons? Why, man, go chase yourself to a nunnery. But I stand it if Link Brown can." I tried to get a certain number up on Columbia road to inquire of a certain celebrated educator what he thought of the town going dry, but as usual I could not get him. I understand, however, that he has been more dry than wet for some time. Conditions make for changes some times. Bill Houston, when I approached him, said, "Why, man, I've got the finest bed of mint growing in my back yard that's been cultivated in Washington since Henry Clay conducted a mint experimental station here. What good would that mint do me if Washington went dry? How could I entertain Judge Terrell and others of my friends when they called around in the cool of the hot evening? You know, I'm from Kentucky, and no real Kentuckian takes to water." Then I asked Henry Slaughter what would he do if Washington went dry. Quick as the fire of a Maxim gun he said, "If Washington goes dry I'll box the Odd Fellows' Journal up and ship her down to Louisville, Ky., a town that will be wet when all Europe is dry. Now, that's my answer to what I do if the town went dry." And John Golns, who was standing by, said, "Count me going with you, Henry; 'nuf sed." Doc Napier said if the town went dry it would mean thousand and thousands of nickels to him, 'cause he would sell all of Bob Allen's patrons soda water and such soft drinks like that what don't get within four feet of your head. These soft drinks may start the stomach on a rummage sale; any physician will tell you that; but they won't disarrange your think tank. Distilled stuff and the amber fluid, according to Dick Thompson's modus operandi of reasoning, will make you hit the down and out trail long before you reach the Osler limitation, but soft drinks will make a garbage outfit out of your stomach before you are twenty-one, if you hang to them. That's why Dick never monkies with no soft drinks; and as for hardware—well, Dick votes dry, except on banquet occasions. Rev. Simon Peter refused to be interviewed. Don't blame him. And my friend, William Calvin, said he himself was a strict neutrality man. Dr. Will Davis said if Washington went dry, it would be grist for his mill, cause then he could dispose of a lot of Peruna, Hostetter Bitters, Payne's Pain Killer, and a few other brands of medicine what was calculated to relieve the stomach of pains, BEE—6—and what would exhilarate without intoxicating. Course, he said, the profit of such stuff aint quite as big as the profit on the hardware what they sell down at Dell Washington's, but I could make some pretty quick sales, and quick sales and small profits has been my motto, and that's the reason I'm doing business seven days in the week in this little corner, and regularly telephoning my money down to the bank to increase the Rigg's deposit. 7 Department Store 1832 14th St., N.

What Are Dreams?—When They Should Be Followed — Solomon's Dream—His Heart Conditions Reflected—His Realization of His Responsibilities—His Humility—His Request—God's Approval and the Happy Results Which Followed. "The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom."—Proverbs 9:18. SOLOMON initiated his reign by making a great feast for his people at Gibeon. The account tells that he offered a thousand burnt offerings unto the Lord. This does not signify that the animals were burned entire, but that certain portions, particularly the fat, were burned as an offering to the Lord, while the food portions became the basis of the feast. We can see the wisdom of such a general acknowledgment of God and His inauguration of a new king; and the feast signified the king's good will and his desire to make his reign one of blessing to the people. The Divine ordering of the matter was recognized by the Israelites, who perceived that all things were to be done with an eye to God's approval. Are Dreams Significant? During this feast, which probably lasted several days, King Solomon had the wonderful dream narrated in our lesson. That it was supernatural there can be no doubt. Similarly God revealed Himself to others in ancient times, and especially to His people Israel, who had come into covenant relationship with Him at Mount Sinai through Moses. But He was not in covenant relationship with the people of other nations, who were, we read, strangers, foreigners, outcasts—not in covenant relationship with God. Although the Christian Church is peculiarly in relationship with God, and in a much closer relationship than that of the Jewish Law, nevertheless we must not suppose that all dreams which even consecrated Christians may have are to be regarded as inspired. Very evidently the majority of our dreams are merely wanderings of our mind because we are not A man in a long coat and a hat is walking along a river. He is carrying a basket and a stick. The river is flowing rapidly. sound asleep. For God to make fewer communications with Spiritual Israel by dreams would not signify a lesser interest in their affairs, but rather that He had otherwise provided for their guidance—in the Bible. Additionally, we learn that He wishes us to walk by faith and not by sight; and to direct us continually by dreams would be to interfere with this walking by faith. St. Paul tells us that God's Word is sufficient that the man of God may be thoroughly furnished unto every good work. (2 Timothy 3:16, 17.) But there is nothing to hinder God from using a dream as a means of instructing His spiritual children if that should seem at any time to be the proper course. Many of the Lord's people have had experience with dreams which seemed to give them instruction. Nevertheless there is but one sure way of receiving dreams—to interpret them only in full accord with the Scriptures. The Apostle suggests that if an angel should proclaim any other Gospel than this, it should be rejected. Similarly, if a dream should suggest any other Gospel, it should be rejected. Solomon's Wise Choice. In King Solomon's dream the Lord appeared to him, saying, "Ask what I shall give thee." So God is asking of all who would become His children. He destires to do them good, but wishes them to realize their needs and to make requests accordingly. Solomon's answer in his dream shows a beautiful simplicity of character for a young prince just come to the throne. He recounted God's mercy to his fu- ther David, and declared that this was in proportion as King David had walked faithfully with God in right-cousness of heart. Then he recounted his own littleness, weakness and insufficiency for the great position to which he had been brought because of Divine appreciation Saint Patrick of his father David. Touchingly he declared, "I am but a little child." This reminds us of the Apostle's words, "When I am weak, then I am strong." This was really the strength of Solomon's character; namely, that he was meek, teachable, like a little child—not boastful or self-confident, not blind to the privileges of his work. Because of the responsibilities of the kingdom, for which he felt himself so incompetent, Solomon prayed, "Give therefore Thy servant an understanding heart to judge Thy people [to administer justice to them], that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this Thy so great people?" Is it any wonder that we read further that in the dream the Lord manifested His good pleasure at this request? "And God said unto him. Because thou hast asked this thing, **** lo. I have given thee a wise and understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee. And I have also given thee **** both gliches and honor." UNDERTAKER AND EMBALMER First Class Terms Most 814 Re Near Falls Church, Va.

The democratic administration in its sham retrenchment and reforms will bankrupt the country if it continues. Already hundreds of trained mechanics have resigned their positions in the Navy Department. As hard as men work in these machine shops and as well as they are trained in the art in which they are engaged ought to demand for them larger and better wages. Every time the democratic party comes into power its first bluff is reform followed by a retrenchment. Then this is followed by the discharge of competent men. The last democratic Congress devoted the best portion of its time to the humiliation of the colored American by introducing "jim crow" measures. Many of the southern democrats went into hysteries over these "niggarilly" political measures. It is hoped that the late decision of the United States Supreme Court has put at rest all attempts to disfranchise the colored Americans. It is a good thing that all white people don't think alike. Many so-called southern statesmen are more guilty of things than a Chinese monkey. Men who call themselves learned in the laws and the constitution of their states and country are weak as some new born babies. Southern democracy has made every effort to eliminate the colored man from the body politic and substitute the foreigner. When this is done, the southern white man will stop no man at his post. The white foreigner will teach the southern white man some sense. They know how to make bombs and use them. When the Negro is able to imitate the white man in this regard there will not be so many lynchings in the south and elsewhere. Democratic sham economy is the cause of the present unrest conditions in this country and labor organizations. Let the government, be liberal and these conditions will be better. WARE'S DEPARTMENT STORE Miss Rosa Belle Jernigan has been selected as one of the lady clerks in the Ware Department store. She is associated with Miss Elmira Bell Green, the lady manager of the store, and one of the best informed females on shoes. Both ladies are accomplished, accommodating and valuable acquisitions to the store. If other ministers who have daughters or sons should interest themselves in the department store and arrange with Mr. Ware to have them employed, he is willing and ready to appoint 20 young ladies in his store to enable them to earn an honest livelihood. Mt. Carmel Baptist church gives her support to this deserving institution. Every member in that church purchases his shoes from Mr. Ware. Just think of the number of churches in this city, owned by the colored people. Think of the influential colored members connected with these churches. Rev. Ricks is a man who believes in race pride. He is a minister who doesn't believe in begging for a drawback from what may be realized from anything in which he is a promoter. One Baptist minister went out of his way some few Sundays ago that Mr. Ware may advertise in The Bee and another local paper, but he must appeal to his church. The Bee is glad to know that all Negro ministers and churches are not like this particular minister. It is true that we have some crooks in the church and many honest and conscientious people. Mr. Ware is appealing to the honest minister and honest church goers. The Bee congratulates Miss Jernigan and her distinguished father who is a thorough race man. If every minister in the city would follow the example of Revs. Ricks and Jernigan the colored department store would succeed. THE NEGRO IN BUSINESS THE NEGRO IN BUSINESS. The Negro in business must be able to sell goods and as cheaply as the white firms. He must be as accommodating and genial as his more fortunate white brother. If you will visit two of the leading business houses in the city conducted by colored firms you will find strictly business methods, and you will find goods equal to any in the city. The Negro in business must learn how to be liberal in his comments on his brother in a similar business. Those who have no confidence in their own business enterprises should start enterprises of their own and learn by experience what his competitor has to encounter and then, perhaps, he will appreciate conditions. The man who has never published a newspaper can make more suggestions how a newspaper can be conducted and how edited better than the man who has been in the business for fifty years. Businesses of any character seem easy to observe. But just wait until you get into them. The great peculiarity of some colored people in business is similar to some colored people who see a colored resident in a white neighborhood. They will never content their souls and bodies until all of the crowd is on the block. There are more barbershops on You street than on any other street in the city of Washington. One man lead the way, now you can find almost two barbershops in every block. Similar conditions obtain on Fourteenth street. They are all first-class shops but how much better it would look if these shops were distributed. The Bee knows persons who were born and reared in the southwest, but who have broken up and drifted to the northwest. There are a few successful colored men in business. DU BOIS'S LATEST BOOK DC BOIS'S LATEST BOOK. "The Negro" is the title of a book of 254 pages by W. E. Burghardt Du Bois, editor of "The Crisis" and author of numerous books. The book is published by Henry Holt and Company, New York, as one of the Home University Library series. The greater part of the book is taken up with the history of the Negro in Africa, and this is very important. Few people know that Africa has a history of its own, but that the material for the writing of its has not been organized and made accessible. This book of Dr. Du Bois' consists of 12 Chapters, suggestions for further reading and an index. In addition it contains four maps. It is positively wonderful that a book which contains such an amount of material can be made to sell for 50 cents, for this is the price of the book. All of the books that carry Dr. Du Bois' name on the title page as author were composed and written by him. In view of the fact that this is not the case with some books that appear in the market, this statement is absolutely necessary. "The Negro" is an excellent history written in a style that is popular, and not difficult to understand. The book is not bulky, and is superior to other words dealing with Negro history in that the matter is no spread out over a large surface. Every preacher, teacher and influential person in the Negro race should own a copy of this meritorious work. HOWARD DENTAL PARLORS. HOWARD DENTAL PARLORS. It is wonderful what ability, experience and fair treatment will do for a business institution. At this time of the year when most dentists find business so dull that they close up shop and retire to the seashore until things brighten up. The Howard Dental Parlors, corner Seventh and T streets northwest, have had to increase their working corps of surgeon dentists and add still another operating room to their already immense establishment. In order to accommodate the public that has come to realize the superiority of the dental work the expert methods and reasonable prices maintained at this institution. The people have long since realized the expert ability and experience of those eminent dental surgeons in charge and give them due credit for their painless and gentle methods and sanitary and thorough equipment and their high quality of guaranteed dental work. The business and professional world have to take off their hats to the master mind behind this great institution whose fame has become so far-reaching that patrons from surrounding states and cities, from Pennsylvania to the Carolinas and West Virginia as well as Maryland and Virginia travel far to receive all that is best in Dentistry. Washingtonians are proud of this establishment at Seventh and T streets and show their approval by keeping them busy from 9 a. m., until 10 p. m. TIE DURHAN SPIRIT We are informed that the other day when the National Religious Training School needed financial assistance, a representative group of Negro citizens, headed by Mr. John Merrick, president of the largest Negro insurance company in the world; Dr. A. M. Moore, secretary and treasurer of the same; Mr. C. C. Spaulding, its genial and capable manager, and Dr. W. G. Pearson, the excellent principal of the Whitted Graded School, all of Durham, went to Dr. Shepard, president of the school, and asked the question, "What can we do to help you get on a solid basis? We stand ready to do whatever we can." This offer to help came unsolicited and shows the unselfish spirit of these Colored leaders of finance in the progressive city of Durham. These four men are not only kno vn in their state, but their fame has extended all over the country and they are known for their good works as well as their keen business sagacity. It also shows the spirit of unity and helpfulness that exists among the representative Negroes of Durham, and thus one act forever stamps as a falsehood any statement to the contrary. The Bee commends the Durham spirit to the Negroes of the country—a spirit of mutual helpfulness. Of upbuilding, instead of pulling down. Until such a spirit permeates the entire race, we cannot come into our own. BUSINESS ASSOCIATION What is really needed in this city is a business association indeed and in fact. There has grown up within the past ten or twelve years several substantial business ventures which have been very successfully managed. What is needed at this time in a combination or coalition of these enterprises for mutual benefit. To this association should be men and women who conduct legitimate business, not the shams, but men and women of integrity. In this connection The Bee would mention such persons as Richard Ware, Jesse Foster, Dr. Board, Dr. Morse, Dr. Singleton, Daniel Freeman, Miss Effie Middleton, Mrs. J. H. Foster Dr. Davis, Daniel Freman, Andrew J. Thomas, Dr. Smith, Mr. Swan and others. Now such men in a business association would be a credit to the community. Get together, gentlemen, and organize. Y. M. C. A: WORK The Bee is always glad to speak of Christian activities among the young men, and to call attention to any special one who by merit and worth deserves the same. It is therefore a pleasure to speak of the work of Mr. W. H. Aiken, clerk, who has been in the Y. M. C. A. for several months taking special training for Y. M. C. A. work. Mr. Aiken has taken special interest. He is a graduate of the Hampton Institute and was formerly a member of its quartette. A young man of attractive personality, strong Christian character, he will undoubtedly make good wherever he may find work, and will be a strong factor in the work among young men. HON. ISSAAC: H. SMITH In the death of Hon. Isaac H. Smith of New Bern, N. C., the Negro race has lost a unique character. Born in slavery, the went to work after the war to making money, and had amassed a considerable fortune. He was formerly a member of the North Carolina Legislature. In his death he did not forget his race and by the terms of his will he left $500 to the National Religious Training School, Durham, N. C., and $500 to Shaw University, Raleigh. All honor to such men who do not forget the race in its efforts to rise. HYPOCRITES Has it ever occurred to the readers of The Bee which class of ministers are the biggest set of hypocrites? The biggest class of hypocrites are those who will go into court and testify that a bad man is a man of good character and reputation and that for peace and good order his reputation is excellent, and for truth and veracity his reputation is good. Such class of ministers are dangerous in any community and to society. These are religious hypocrites, so beware. FUNERAL DIRECTORS FUNERAL DIRECTORS. In The Bee will be seen the advertisement of a few of the leading funeral directors and undertakers that can be found in this city. There was a time when colored funeral directors were scarce. Two of the pioneers in the business are James H. Winslow and James H. Dabney. These two men have kept abreast with the times. Esau Winslow and John T. Rhine. This city contains some of the best funeral directors in the United States. SLAVE LABOR Read the bill on front page of The Bee-that was filed this week by Attorneys Cornelius J. Jones and E. M. Hewlett, in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia. Every colored paper should reproduce it. DR. JOHN R. FRANCIS One of the Most Progressive and Expert Dental Surgeons in the United States. The Iee is always pleased to present to the people any worthy enterprise or individual. Dr. John R. Fran- PETER H. DR. JOHN R. FRANCIS. cls, jr., is a native of this city and a young man of great professional ability. At the head of the Howard Dental Parlors at the corner of Seventh and Tea streets northwest, and with his corps of dentists. The Bee takes this opportunity to commend his great work to the 100,000 colored citizens in this city. Go and see these dental parlors with their great corps of trained and accomplished dentists will convince any one that the Howard Dental Parlors cannot be surpassed by any firms. The name of Dr. John R. Francis, jr., is a household word to all Washington. Last week Misses Nettie Walker and Helen Pritchard, two charming members of the teaching corps of the public schools of Indianapolis, Ind., spent several days here, and literally "captured the Capital." Gracious in bearing and magnetic in personality, they made a most favorable impression upon all with whom they came into contact—a way that most belles and beaux have who hall from the land of James Whitcomb Riley and Meredith Nicholson. They were lavishly entertained by friends, old and new, in the social sets of the nation's Capital and express themselves as "having the time of their lives." They were the house guests of Miss Alice Mae Hershaw, who is also a school marm on the Indianapolis roster, but is spending her summer at her home in this city. Some of the more notable functions of the week in honor of Misses Walker and Pritchard were: Monday night, a theater party at the Howard with Misses Vivian Lucille Thompson, 'an Indianapolis girl, Alice Mae Hershaw and Edna Lucas as hostesses; Tuesday night, an informal dance at the residence of Miss Alice Mae Hershaw, 2215 Thirteenth street; Wednesday night, a boating party in the upper Potomac, given by Mr. Herbert Kenny; Thursday night, an informal dance at the home of Miss Vivian L. Thompson, 1223 S street; Thursday afternoon, guests of Miss Angela Braxton at the Howard Theater "supper show"; Friday night, an informal dance at the home of Miss Mary O. Chaney, 1911 L street; each day and Saturday, sight seeing in the executive departments, automobile riding, including a spin the entire length of the new "Speedway." Sunday morning the visiting ladies and their hostess worshiped at St. Luke's P. E. church. In the evening the fair Hoosiers departed on the steamer for Hampton and Buckroe Beach where they will spend a fortnight or more in rest and recuperation. Among the society folk of Washington who were present at the various functions tendered in honor of the Misses Walker and Pritchard, aside from their hostesses and members of their family were: Misses Florence Parnell, Edna Lucas, Emma Lucas, Emma Alexander, Lydia Brown, Eva Dykes, Flossie Dykes, Geraldine Tate, Lillian Burke, Leah Cunningham, Corinne Quivers, Phoebe Purce, Bernice Sewell, Minnie Sumner, Evelyn Lacy, Viola Menard, Nellie Brown, Isadore Kenny, Lucille Hamilton Nooks, Fannie Wormley; Messls.

Clayton Terry, Clyde McDuffie, Benjamin Hunton, Lucius H. Brown, jr., F. E. Parks, Horace Anderson, George Jenkins, James Anderson and others. REV. W. BISHOP JOHNSON. Big Reception Tendered by His Congregation—A Purse of $100 Presented. The officers and members of the 28 Baptist have given their pastor a three months' vacation with pay. Rev. W. Bishop Johnson has served them 34 years. On the advice of his physician, Dr. Thomas Martin, he decided to take a rest. The church unanimously voted him six months with pay rather than have him resign. He refused the six months, but accepted three month. Though the night was hot, men and women in all walks of life were out to do him honor. The ministers, who numbered nearly a hundred, of all denominations and from different sections of the city, were out; teachers, lawyers, doctors, newspaper editors, and laymen were out to honor this man who had, preached the gospel of Jesus Christ in this city for 34 years. He has also preached the doctrine of co-operation, organization, and combination for negroes. He has stood for the church, school and business as the solution of the so-called Race Problem. Rev. Gunn was master of ceremonies, and carried out the program to the letter. The complete program will appear next week. Among the speakers were Rev. Matthews of Bethlehem Baptist Church, Rev. Powell of Liberty Baptist Church, Rev. W. A. Taylor, Florida Avenue Baptist Church; Rev. Jernigan, Mt. Carmel Baptist; Rev. A. C. Garner, Plymouth Congregational; Mr. Howard, U. S. Marshall, who was born in Canada, where W. Bishop Johnson was born. They were playmates, schoolmates, Sunday School mates, churchmates, and politician together. They were comrades ever since they were boys. Miss M. A. D. Madre, who is one of the best orators of the race and one of the most useful and sincere women on the race question, made a brilliant address. J. Finley Wilson. of The' Eagle, who has known Rev. Johnson for several years, brought forth rounds of applause as he delved in reminiscences. The choir rendered excellent music. Solos were given by Mrs. Sarah Freeman and Prof. W. A. Adams. After the literary program was finished all were invited downstairs. About 800 persons were served with chicken salad, potato salad, sandwiches, tea, coffee with cream, ice cream and cake. The Editor of The Bee was absent, but sent a representative with its good wishes. Hotel Dale, Cape May, N. J. List of guests of the Hotel Dale M. E. BenJ. Presley, Mr. B. C.

W. Morse has removed into his own building, which is three stories high, and established an up-to-date drug ststore, one of the largest in the city which is colored. Thursday evening he had an opening, which was one of the most brilliant events that has taken place in this city, and the only one of its kind that has ever taken place. Fully 1,500 to 1,800 people of all classes paid their respects to this new and up-to-date and expert pharmacist. It required six male and female clerks to accommodate the visitors. Ladies were given ice cream and soda and the men cigars. Perhaps two hundred dollars' worth of refreshments were given away to the patrons free. Mrs. Morse was tastefully dressed in white, and was the personification of refinement. She was in keeping with her sedateness and refinement on such occasions as was witnessed last Tuesday night. The ladies who visited the opening were dressed in the height of fashion. It was a reception long to be remembered. Some of the best and leading citizens in the city turned out to do honor to Dr. J. W. Morse. Call and see his new drug, store, 19th and L streets northwest. Reception to Rev. Carroll. Rev. R. Alexander Carroll, D. D., was tendered a reception by his congregation and friends last Thursday evenin. The affair was a brilliant success. NATIONAL BENEFIT'S NEXT BABY SAVING SHOW July 21—Five Hundred Babies Entered and More Fast Registering. The next Baby Saving Show of the National Benefit Association promises to even surpass in many ways the great one held last year. Five beautifully engraved gold and silver medals are now ready for the successful contestants. Artistically printed health certificates are to be given every registered baby. Instructive lectures by some of the leading physicians of the city will be given for the benefit of mothers. Dr. W. E. Lewis is exerting every effort to present the most scientific exhibit (by means of charts, booths, etc.) that has yet been made here. Some of these exhibits are coming from far away Topeka, Kan., Providence, R. I., Chicago, Ill., and other points. This Better Baby Show commences at ten a. m., Wednesday, July 21, at Green Willow Park and will last till six p. m., when the grandest picnic of the season will commence. QUICK LUNCH. One of the most up-to-date lounge rooms in the city is the home Cafe, Geo. H. Lee, proprietor. Give him a call. PLASTER CAST WEDDING SUIT. Injured In Runaway, Farmer Weds Desire Crinkled Condition. Sallna, Kan—Miss Mary Elizabeth Seraner came all the way to Salline county from Fayetteville, O., to become the bride of Francis De Sales Schneider, a young farmer near Sallina, and even then came near losing out for a delay at least, but she was equal to the occasion, and she is now Schneider's bride. The promised delay in the nuptial affairs of this young couple was caused by Schneider getting into a runaway accident and sustaining a broken leg, fractured ribs and bruises all-over his body, and the sweetheart found him bound in plaster of paris casts so tight he could not move. The situation was discussed, the young lady hooked up the favorite horse to a buggy and came to Sallina, secured the marriage license, engaged the preacher and returned to the farm. The wedding took place that evening. RADIUM EXPERT SAILS. Dr. Bissell Will Treat Wounded In London Hospital. New York.—Dr. Joseph B. Bissell, radium expert in the Bellevue and St. Vincent's hospitals, saluted for England on the Philadelphia. Dr. Bissell has been invited to do special work in St. Mary's hospital, in London, with radium and radium solutions In the treatment of infected wounds. He will study the methods of radium treatment employed at the Radium institute of London and at similar institutions in Edinburgh, Manchester and Dublin. He has also been invited to visit the Paris Radium institute. Dr. Bissell has the largest amount of radium possessed by any one person in New York city and is suggested as managing director of the radium institute being planned by philanthropists of this city. PLANNING TO REMODEL ENTIRE CHINESE ARMY Soldiers Will Be Equipped With Uniform Weapons. Peking.-China's military forces are to be remodeled from top to bottom. As a first step arms of the line regiments are to be unified. A most important conference has just been held at the Winter palace, the residence of Yuan Shih Kal. There were present, in addition to the president and his cabinet and the highest ranking military and naval officers, several of the most influential Chinese not officially connected with the government. Problems of national defense were touched upon in a brief speech by the president, who made it clear that he regards war as the greatest among apparently necessary evils. His words made a deep impression upon those present, and in the discussion which followed there was absolutely single mindedness in indorsing Yuan's position. The conference decided that new docks were absolutely necessary; that the arsenals must be modernized and expanded; that service in the army must be popularized and adequately compensated; that coast defenses must be established and, where obsolete or inadequate, reconstructed, and that naval bases must be provided for north and south China. The principal decision, however, was that of providing for the unification of Chinese armaments. The six army divisions, investigation has proved, use ten or more different types of guns. It is proposed to replace these with one style which will possess the best features of the best modern weapon. MUSHROOMS FOR FOOD. Germans Consider Delicacy to Take the Place of Meat. Hamburg.—As an auxiliary food supply, of which little advantage is taken, mushrooms are being urged upon German epireptes, and especially upon Catholics, as substitutes for meat on fast days. Dr. von Langemann, a Dresden physician, estimates that there are over 200 kinds of mushrooms in Germany. At least one-quarter of these are not only edible, but nourishing and tasty, while only seven can be classed as polsonous toadstools. The annual crop, if it all were harvested, would run into the millions of marks in value, be believed, and would supply hundreds of tons of food. Already the inhabitants of villages in the vicinity of forests have learned to supply themselves with a valuable food that costs nothing but the gathering. SHE WEARS GLOVES NOW. W. C. T. U. Mortgage is Cleared, and Woman is Happy. Pasadena.—For the first time in twenty-five years Mrs. H. P. Anderson of Burbank put on a few days ago a pair of kid gloves. Mrs. Anderson, who is a delegate to the convention of the Southern California Woman's Christian Temperance union, had resolved that she would wear no gloves until a mortgage on the Los Angeles W. C. T. U. temple was paid. The debt, which originally amounted to $30,000, was cleared by funds made available from a legacy of $25,000 left by Samuel Little. 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. Miss Nettle Walker and Miss Helen Pritchett, both of Indianapolis, Ind., were the guests of Miss Alice May Hershaw last week. While here they received much attention, including theater parties, dances, and sightseeing tours. They are much impressed with the Capital City, and will have much to tell when they return to the West. Miss Rosa Cecile Hershaw, daughter of Prof. and Mrs. L. M. Hershaw, and assistant librarian at Howard University, is pursuing a course in library economy at the Columbia University, New York City. Miss Virgile Porter of this city left Monday for Winchester, Va., where she will remain until September. Miss Alfrieda Harris, who has been spending some time in this city, has returned to her home at Ashton Place, Dinwiddie County, Va. Miss Viola McIntosh will leave the city this week for Virginia, where she will remain until September. Dr. Wm. Pannell, B street, has accepted the call of Liberty Baptist Church in Alexandria, Va.

Man Who Shot Morgan and Then Ended Life Practiced Target Shooting. Acid Eaten Lead Pencils Used to Stir Deadly Mixture—Match Heads Used In Capitol Bomb. New York.—Positive evidence showing that Frank Holt, who shot J. Pierpont Morgan and then ended his life in the Mincola (N. Y.) fall, had a secret storehouse for his explosives and that he experimented there with bombs and also practiced revolver shooting was discovered on Long Island. A little bungalow on the outskirts of Central Park, a secluded hamlet six miles from Syosset and about twelve miles from Glen Cove, is where Holt, under the pseudonym of Totten, conducted his experiments. He left there on the morning of Friday, July 2. M. That night the capitol in Washington was dynamited, and the next morning the financier was attacked. Chief Constable McCahill of Glen Cove, who had been scouring Long Island ever since Mr. Morgan was shot, heard that there had been a lot of gossip about Central Park concerning a strange man who had rented a tiny bungalow which stands in a thick clump of pine trees on the outskirts of the hamlet. McCahill learned this man, tall, smooth shaved and with a receding chin, alighted from a train at Central Park and approached Richard Russell, a resident of the place. He asked if Russell could tell him where he could and Louis Ott, a real estate man of the village. Ott was not about at the time, so the stranger, who volunteered to Russell that his name was Hendricks and that he was an invalid, strolled about the village until the real estate man returned. To Ott he said: "I am in very poor health, and my doctor has ordered me to a quiet place in the country. I would like a little cottage of some sort where I could have absolute rest and do some literary work. Who owns that small bungalow down there in the pines?" Ott told him that a Mr. Arnold of Brooklyn owned the place and would rent it. So the stranger, now giving his name as Totten, engaged the bungalow for two weeks. He had with him a suit case the day he talked to Ott. The few people who live thereabout naturally were interested in the new comer. They noticed that each day he would start out, carrying his suit case in a way that indicated it was empty. He would return with the bag seemingly weighted down. The banging of a revolver attracted the neighbors' attention, too, and they saw "Totten" firing at a target, which he placed at various distances ranging from ten feet to 100 yards. When Constable McCahill heard this story from Ott he and Constable John Thompson of Oyster Bay drove over to Central Park and examined the place. Their first glance at the interior was sufficient to show them that the place had been used as a bomb factory or at least as an experimental laboratory for the making of bombs. About the floors were scattered thousands of match sticks from which the heads had been cut. There were also dozens of full boxes of matches in a complete condition. It will be remembered that in his first confession Holt explained that he used match heads in making the capitol bomb. Then, too, the constables found several acid eaten lead pencils, apparently used to stir a mixture of some sort of acid, and a tablecloth in which several great holes had been eaten by acid. Secretary Garrison Will Ask Congress For Appropriations. Washington.—Secretary of War Garrison has not abandoned plans for the establishment of camps for the military instruction of college and university students. Comptroller of the Treasury Downey has ruled that there was no warrant for the expenditure of government funds for regular officers and troops at such camps. A reconsideration has been asked by Secretary Garrison, and if this is unfavorable the secretary will urge legislation by congress authorizing appropriations. GERMANS CONTINUE TO BUY AMERICAN HORSES How They Send Them Home Is a Deep Mystery to Dealers. Lincoln, Neb.—Representatives of all of the principal nations at war in Europe are combing the west for horses for the armies. Several of the horse buyers bear titles; the majority of them are men who have been at the head of great establishments in Belgium and France, which formerly supplied America with draft horse stallions. One who was recently in Lincoln was paid $2 a day and expenses for his work. Before the war he drew $10,000 a year as manager of a great breeding stable in Normandy. How the few German buyers get their purchases through is a mystery, and they refuse to elucidate. They make it plain that that is their own business, and they keep on buying. Some of the largest dealers in this section have been asked to bid on a 25,000 head shipment for the German government payable by drafts on New York. In the beginning speculators and business men jumped into the game, taking large contracts or subcontracts. The ruling prices for the grades desired were $150 and $175, subject to inspection, which was very rigid, and a large portion of each shipment was rejected. Rather than carry these back to the west the dealers sold them at the points of shipment for what they could get. That there are horse traders in Europe and dealers with sharp eyeteeth was proved by the fact that a number of these rejected animals were shipped to Europe, the purchasers being government agents, who took this means of showing American dealers some tricks in horse buying, purchasing in the guise of contractors who desired the animals for the northwest. The fact that the greater part of the supply in the west has already been purchased or is in the hands of speculators, holding for the raise they feel certain will come with a continuance of the war, has led to a letting down of the inspection bars. Hundreds of animals that formerly would have not received a second look are now going through. The stable boys say "t the fat ones are given the preference. White and gray horses are taboo because they are shining marks on the battlefield. The one thing the buyers are particular about is the wind. They require swift galloping for a block or two before the inspector decides. Church and State in a Furor—Election of a Methodist Bishop—Canvassing for Bishop Unknown—Hard Times—A Cut in the Salary Suggested—Shame and Disgrace to the Bishopric. Politics in both state and church is waxing hotter and hotter as the days go by. Who is going to be the next President of the United States and who is going to be elected to the bishopric in the Negro Methodist denominations are the questions that are uppermost in the minds of both the state and church politicians of today. Religious questions are not considered in political conventions and neither should political questions be considered in conferences of the various Negro Methodist denominations. But there seems to be no less politics in these great gatherings of so-called Christians than there is in political gatherings proper. Indeed this church political scheming for high honors and money have got to the point where it has become a stick to the nostrils of all who profess to be lovers of true Christianity; and the further continuance of it should be condemned by the general church. The general conferences of the various Negro Methodist Churches will meet in 1916. And there are scores of preachers in each of the denominations who feel that they were born for just that sort of work—that of a bishop—which is no work save that of getting rich at the expense of the poor who are thristing for the living water of our Lord Jesus Christ—but can't get it without a certain amount of money! Where, O where is the church of God drifting to? Echo answers. Where, O where! There was a time when the canvasing for the bishopric was unknown the laity of the church. Even our great and good Bishop Hood of the A. M. E. Zion church has said that he never did solicit the vote of any man for the bishopric. And such men as Bishop Hood are the ones, and only ones, that should be called to fill such offices in the church. Why. It was gotten to the place now where these modern disciples of Christ (or father of the devil), have lost all modesty of the duties of Christian ministers, whose duties it is to "go and reach Christ to dying men and women," and are almost threatening to take "the stump" and make a complete scramble for the office of a bishop. Such candidates should be re-ruled by the lay delegates to the The National Religious Training School, Durham, N.C. A Offers superior advantages for the training of young men and women in many departments of work. The following Departments are in successful operation: 1. Department of Religious Training. This department is intended especially for the training of Y. M. C..A. and Y. W. C. A. Secretaries. Settlement workers, Deaconesses, and for Home and Foreign Missionaries. 2.

The interest of the general church should be first in the minds and hearts of the delegates to these various Negro Methodist Churches. These are hard times; and the churches should not be burdened with heavier taxes in order to satisfy the selfish ambitions of some fellow whose mind is already fixed on what he is going to do to Rev. so and so if he succeeds. And his very aim might lead to the tearing down of God's kingdom. As to the making of more bishops in the A. M. E. Zion Church we fail to see the use of its now. Of course, we have some very strong and worthy men, who would fill that office with credit both to themselves and the church alike. But there is absolutely no good sense in the election of any more bishops. And, in view of the fact that times are very hard now it would be a very unwise step to add any more weight on the general church along that line—unless a cut in the present salary of the bishops could be made. Bishop Hood is one of the very best informed men in the Zion connection; and he made the statement before he General Conference of 1912 hat no more bishops were needed. And wise Providence so guided and divided the delegates at that great meeting to the end that no more bishops were elected. Have the churches suffered any loss by the ence of 1912 that no more bishops Not at all! But because of their faithfulness to the church and now that they have both grown to old and feeble to fully discharge the duties of that office, Bishops Hood and Harris should be retired. If this is done the way for electing two more bishops will be clear. Without that the election of any more bishops will be but a useless greater tax on the general church. The interest of Zion Church should be first in the minds and hearts of every man and woman who have influence and a vote in the General Conference of 1916; and the interests of the office next. Let's have less canvassing for bishop! It's a shame and a disgrace to the cloth. JUSTICE BARNARD TELLS OF FLOWERS IN MAINE. Finds Masses of Fringed Polygala on Shores of Kezar Lake—Number of Blossoms Discovered for First Time in That Locality This Year. From the Evening Star. Justice Bob Bernard, who is on his vacation with Mrs. Barnard at their place in the Maine woods, has written to friends here an interesting account of the flora in early summer in the neighborhood of Center Lovell. Although Justice and Mrs. Barnard have been visiting the Maine woods in summer for eleven years, he reports seeing this year a number of flowers for the first time in that locality, which is about twenty miles east of Mount Washington, on the shores of Kezar Lake. JOHN H. HARRIS Justice Barnard's letter is, in part as follows: "The woodlands were bright with the purple-pink or rose-red blossoms of the fringed polygala. They covered every knoll in our Wasumont woods, among the many bunchberry plants, which had not yet fully opened their flowers. The polygala is sometimes called false wintergreen, or flowering wintergreen; and an interesting characteristic of it is that it has two kinds of blossoms, one for beauty, at the top of the graceful stem, some six inches high, of a rose red color, and one to bear the seed the inconspicuous fertile flower, concealed on delicate runners or shoots under ground.

Finds Star Flower Also. "Growing in the same localities was the star flower, with its whorl of green leaves and its modest white star blossom. "The pink lady's slipper was just reaching perfection when we came. A white one was considerably larger than the pink ones, but of the same shape substantially. In the deep moist woods we found the clintonia borealis in bloom. We have frequently admired its rich green leaves, similar in appearance to those of the lady slipper, and its bunch of bright blue berries, in late September, but never saw its greenish-yellow flowers until this May. "It is distinguished by being named after the historic governor of New York, De Witt Clinton, but is unfortunate in not having any common name to identify it. In this respect it is like the pretty little two-leaved maanthemum canadense, which frequently grows near it, and lifts its feathery white blossoms in early June, and later in the summer exhibits its bright bunch of red berries. It has no common name, but is sometimes referred to in the books as a two-leaved Solomon's seal, but its flower and fruit would seem to suggest a kinship to the false Solomon's seal rather than the true plant of that name. Another interesting flower we have seen for the first time is a third plant without a common name; the rhododendron rhodora, a shrub belonging to the heath family, and closely related to the wild azalea. Some of the residents here call it laurel, but its flowers are nothing like the laurel that we see in Rock Creek Park. Purplish Pink Flower. "It grows in low grounds near streams or swampy lands, and its purplish pink flowers renders it conspicuous. "The painted trillium with its trine of green lilylike leaves and trine of petals, white with stripe and pinkish painted centers at their base, were found in great numbers in the deep woods near the Clintonia and the Ladies' Slipper. "We found a graceful little shrub growing among blueberry bushes, with pinkish white flowers in clusters at the end of the setms, beautiful to the eye and possessing a delicate woodsy odor. It was the chokeberry, pyrus arbutifolia, a member of the rose family." 4. Literary Department. 5. Department of Music. 6. Department of Literary Training. 7. Department of Industries. 8.

THE NEW BIRTH CF CHURCH AND WORLD Church's Regeneration Now, World's During Millennium. Adam and His Race Legally Dead—The Dying Processes Thorough—Redemption Secures Another Opportunity For Life—Faith, the Only Door, Is Limited by Knowledge to Few—Few There Be That Find It. Hope For the Unregenerate In Messiah's Kingdom. Toledo, Ohio, July 11. — Pastor Russell, who is here today, took for his text the words, "Ye which have followed Me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man shall sit in the Throne of His glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones." — Matthew 1928. PASTOR RUSSELL The speaker's opening sentence doubtless sent a shock to many of his hearers. He declared that none are members of the Church of Christ except the regenerate; and that this fact was emphasized by our Lord Jesus, saying, "We must be born again." If ye would be My disciples. This teaching has practically disappeared from the pulpit, for the reason that the hearts of Christian people seem to be more tender than were those of their fathers; they cannot bear to think of the great mass of their relatives, friends and neighbors and of the heathen unregenerate as subjects for eternal torment at the hands of the Devil. Hence they ignore the Scriptural doctrine of regeneration, and endeavor to convince themselves that it cannot be necessary; for they know many not regenerated, who are deserving of a better fate. The difficulty met with in considering this question is the same which we so often meet with on other questions; namely, an error firmly held so blases the mind as to make Bible truths seem impossible. Now, however, Bible students begin to see that there is a regeneration promised in the Bible for the world in the Millennium, quite separate and distinct from the regeneration now possible to the saliety Church. When we get the Bible focus upon the condition of the dead and see that they are unconscious, or, as the Bible says, sleeping, waiting for the Resurrection Morm. when the world in general will be granted opportunities of regeneration, we see that the regeneration of the present time, that of the Little Flock, will not hinder the masses from regeneration by and by. On the contrary, the regenerated Church of the present time will be associated with Messiah in the regeneration of the world. This puts a new aspect upon the whole matter. Those now being regenerated are an elect, or select, class. Not only have they a special love for righteousness and a special hatred for infliquity, but additionally, they exercise a special faith in God and His promises. By means of these promises and the trials and disciplines of life, these elect regenerates become especially qualified for God's service now and hereafter. Regenerated to Different Natures. Another item to be noticed is that the regenerating processes of the present time are with a view to bringing the Church class, the Elect of God, to a new nature. Their regeneration began when God imparted to them the Holy Spirit, following their full consecration to His service in the name and merit of the Redeemer. The regenerative process continues during their lifetime, as they grow in grace, in knowledge and in love—in the character-likeness of God's dear Son. This means a transforming and renewing work, referred to by St. Paul, saying, "Not by works of righteousness which we have done but according to His mercy He gave us, by the purifying of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Spirit." No well informed person will dispute the fact that the regenerated constitute a very small proportion of mankind—nay, that they constitute a very small proportion of the Christian nations; yes, that the regenerated constitute but a very small proportion of the religious church membership. The Apostle refers to the regenerate, styling them New Creatures in Christ, and declares that to these "old things have passed away, and all things have become new"—new hopes, new alms, new ambitions, new desires, new affections. Such have been "transformed by the renewing of their minds."—2 Corinthians 6:17; Romans 12:2. New Creatures In Christ Jesus. Surely it is not an empty statement on the Apostle's part that all these regenerate ones are New Creatures in Christ Jesus. The Apostle, referring to this class, tells us that they have been begotten by the Holy Spirit through the Message of Truth. Again, St. Peter says, God hath "given unto us [regenerates] exceeding great and precious promises; that by these we might become partakers of the Divine nature." (2 Peter 14.1) There it is said the Pastor; these by nature were humans; but by God's grace in Christ, through this begetting, they become of different nature-"partakers of the Divine nature." In comparison with the world, therefore, these are New Creatures—a fresh creation. But the Scriptures everywhere remind us that the New Creation is merely an embryo and will not be perfected until the resurrection. They inform us also that some, by repudiating their covenant with the Lord and turning wilfully to sin, may become subjects of the Second Death. They inform us that many begotten of the Spirit may never attain the full measure of their possibilities—may never become joint-heirs with Jesus Christ their Lord. Because of slackness, worldly-mindedness, they may attain only to a lower spiritual degree or nature—like unto the angels and not like unto the Son of God, who is the express image of the Father's glorious person. We perceive, therefore, that the steps of concession and spirit-begetting are not triding propositions, but serious ones; and that with this opportunity of so great an exaltation go also conditions, limitations, trials, testings of faith and loyalty. "If we suffer with Him, we shall also reign with Him"—"be glorified together."—2 Timothy 2:12; Romans 8:17. "Sit on Twelve Thrones, Judging." In our context the Redeemer assured His faithful Apostles that, after being tested, the worthy ones would be associated with Himself in His Heavenly Kingdom—His Millennial Kingdom. These would sit on twelve thrones, judging or ruling. (ICor. 6:2.) No doubt some special glory and honor is provided in God's great Plan for the twelve faithful Apostles—St. Paul taking the place of Judas. Nevertheless the Lord afterward declared that all of His faithful followers would be granted a share with Him in His Millennial Kingdom and in His glory and power. Mark His words: "To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with Me in My Throne"—"I will give him power over the nations"—the Gentiles.—Revelation 3:21; 2:26. This is doubly interesting to us: first, because it is the reward of those who are now regenerated and who prove faithful to the spirit-begetting which they now receive—to those who eventually will be born of the Spirit in the First Resurrection. As every begetting in the flesh must have a birth, else it will be valueless, so the begetting of the Spirit must reach the culmination of the New Birth in the Resurrection. Jesus describes this Resurrection, saying, "Rhesus and holy is he that hath part in the First Resurrection: on such the Second Death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years."—Rev. 20:6. But this is not all. The time when the Church will be reigning with Christ in His Kingdom glory will be the time of the world's regeneration—the Millennium. This is the lesson of our text, "Ye which have followed Me [in the narrow way of self-sacrifice in the present life], in the regeneration, when the Son of Man shall sit upon the Throne of His glory [during His Millennial Reign], ye shall sit upon twelve thrones." How plain! How simple! How beautiful! How grand! Could any of the Lord's people who have experienced the purifying of their own hearts by the regenerating influences of the Holy Spirit have a selfish or unkind thought toward the unregenerate world—so that they would object to the thought here presented! Would not all such, on the contrary, rejoice to know that the Heavenly Father has a Plan by which the non-elect of mankind may be regenerated in due time? We hold that this is true. Selfishness and every desire to exclude others from blessings which God has promised them signify so much of sin in control of the mind. Love not only thinketh no evil, but it hopeth all things, and is glad to find in God's Word various promises to the effect that all the families of the earth shall yet be blessed through the Spiritual Seed of Abraham—Christ and the Church.—Galatians 3:8, 16, 29. All Mankind Need Regeneration. Some may see that the Church need regenerating now, but fall to see the need of the world. They see that the Church's regeneration is necessary because "desh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God"—we "must be born again." But there would be no Kingdom of God, there would be no Millennium, there would be no regeneration of the world, If God purposed only the salvation of the Church. On the contrary, however, everywhere in the Bible God tells of His compassion toward the world, while telling of His particular love for the true Church, dear as the apple of His eye—Zech.2:3. Note that favorite text. "God so loved the world that He gave His Only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16) The whole world was loved of God. The whole world has been provided for in the glorious sacrifice of Jesus, and the whole world is to have the benefit resulting from that sacrifice. Christ's death is not in vain, nor merely for the Church, the Elect few. Through these Elect the great mass of mankind, non-elect and unfit for the Kingdom, are to be blessed—blessed with an opportunity for regeneration as men—not to a new nature, as the Church, but to the nature once assigned humanity, in the image of God, lost through sin. The world's regeneration, therefore, will be to perfect human nature, lost in Adam, redeemed by the sacrifice of Christ's human life. Moreover, God's provision of Times of Regeneration—Years of Regeneration—is ample a thousand years. Satan shall no longer be the prince of this world. At the beginning of Messiah's Reign, we have the assurance that he will be bound, restrained, that he may deceive the nations no more—that he may put light for darkness and darkness for light no more. The great Life-Giver will provide the opportunity for regeneration to all the thousands of millions of our race who died in Adam and who were redeemed to this opportunity for everlasting life through Messiah's death at Calvary. (1 Corinthians 15:21-23.) Ignorance and superstition, darkness and sin, will flee from before the rising Sun of Righteousness, which will flood the earth with the knowledge of the glory of God. Then all mankind, whosoever will, shall have the opportunity of coming to a knowledge of God and of the way of life, and of being begotten again by the Life-Giver. The regenerated Elect of this Age will have nothing to do with giving the life to the world. That life must all come from the Life-Giver, who has secured the right to be the world's Everlasting Father by the sacrifice of Himself. But as Christ will be the Second Adam to the world for its regeneration, so the Church will be the Second Eve, to nourish, to care for, to instruct, all the willing and obedient, desirous of coming back into harmony with God during the Millennial Age. At the conclusion of that blessed Epoch of a thousand years, when all wilful sinners shall have been destroyed in the Second Death, the Revelator's words will be fulfilled—every creature in Heaven and on earth shall be heard saying, Praise, glory, honor, dominion and might be unto Him that sitteth upon the Throne and unto the Lamb, forever. There will be no discordant note. God's will shall then be done upon earth, even as it is now done in Heaven; and the reward of everlasting life, with no sickness, sorrow nor pain—will then be with humanity, even as it is now with the angels. Mankind's New Trial For Life. It should not be forgotten that Adam did not lose everlasting life. Although he had a perfect life and was free from all elements of death, nevertheless he was placed in Eden on probation, to see whether by obedience to God he would develop a character in harmony with God, and so be accounted worthy of everlasting life. Consequently, when Adam and his posterity are redeemed from death, this salvation does not entitle them to life everlasting, but merely to a fresh trial as to worthiness of everlasting life. This new trial will indeed be more favorable for Adam and his race in some respects than was Adam's original trial, because of the large increase of knowledge. Man has had an opportunity to learn the lesson of the exceeding sinfulness of sin. He will soon have an opportunity to learn the blessedness of righteousness and to know of the grace of God in Christ. This knowledge will be of great service to all who will use it during the Millennial Age, when for a thousand years the whole world will be on trial for everlasting life before the great White Judgment Throne—Rev. 20:11, 12. God wills that all men shall be saved, not only from the Adamic death sentence, but also from the ignorance and blindness with which Satan has darkened their minds. (2 Corinthians 4:1) He wills that all should be so saved from the truth of evils which has followed Adam's sins and its penalty of death, in order that they may come to a knowledge of the Truth. This He does to the intent that having a clear knowledge of the Truth they may make the very best possible use of the new trial for life secured for them by the Redeemer's Ransom-sacrifice. It is for this very purpose that the Messianic Kingdom will be inaugurated, which will first bind Satan and then release mankind from their blindness; as it is written. (Isaiah 35:5.) For the same reason it is the Diyane arrangement that the Kingdom work shall be done gradually and shall require a thousand years for its completion. Throughout the Millennial Age it will be the work of Christ Jesus, as the Second Adam, to regenerate all mankind. The regenerating influences will begin with their awakening from the sleep of death, in harmony with the Master's declaration, "The bour is coming in which all that are in the graves shall hear the voice of the Son of Man and come forth"—John 5:28-29. The coming forth from the tomb will be merely the beginning of the work of regeneration. It will be only a preparatory work. The awakened sleepers will be in the same condition of mind that they were in when they fell asleep in death—in a very similar condition to those who will be living on the earth at that time. But before they can be regenerated, they must be brought to a knowledge of the Truth. Their eyes and ears of understanding must be opened. This the Scriptures assure us shall be accomplished. "Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped." "The earth shall be full of the knowledge of the glory of the Lord." (Isaiah 35:5; 11:9; Hab. 2:14.) The good news of Divine Love and of the possibilities of return to the favor of God through the atoning work of Jesus having then been clearly demonstrated to all, each one will have the opportunity of deciding for himself whether or not he desires to return to human perfection and the blessed privileges of life everlasting. To do so, he must be begotten again by the Life-Giver, who will beget again only those who are desirous of having the new life. All willful rejectors of the opportunity will die the Second Death. But those who accept the Savior's proposition will come under helpful and disciplinary experiences which will gradually lift them up to human perfection—mental, moral and physical—to all that was lost for them in Adam's disobedience and that was regained for them by the Redeemer's obedience and the Divine arrangement for the regeneration of the world. ```markdown ``` MADE UNCEASING ATTACKS. Hot Fire of Allied Artillery Shatters Foe's Ranks—Sir Ian Hamilton Officially Fixes Enemy's Losses In Four Days at 5,000 Killed and 15,000 Wounded. London.—More than 5,000 Turks were killed and 15,000 wounded in Dardanelles operations from June 28 to July 2, according to an estimate made by General Sir Ian Hamilton, commander of the British forces, in a report made public by the official press bureau. The report says: "About 2 a.m. (date not given) the searchlights of the destroyer Scorpion discovered half a Turkish battalion advancing near the sea, to the northwest of Krithia. The Scorpion opened fire, and few of the enemy got away." "Simultaneously the enemy attacked a knoll which we had captured, due west of Krithia, advancing from a pulah in close formation in several lines. The attack came under artillery and H SIR IAN HAMILTON, enfilading rifle fire, the enemy losing heavily. The foremost Turks got with in forty yards of the parapet, but only a few returned. "The Turks made several heavy bomb attacks during the night, on troops being twice driven back a shor distance. Early in the morning we ry gained these traches by a bayonet at tick. They have since been strength ened. At 5:30 a. m. 2000 Turks, moving from Krithia into a ravine, were scattered by machine gun fire. "The operations reflect great credit on the vigilance and accurate shooting of the Scorpion. The Turkish losses in the mulah and ravine are estimated as from 1,500 to 2,000 dead. "About 10 p. m. on June 30 the Turks again attacked with bombs a portion of the most northerly trench captured by us on the 28th. An officer of the Gurkhas being wounded (not dangerously, as it turned out), the men became infuriated, flung all their bombs at the enemy and then, charging down out of the trench, used their kukrls for the first time and with excellent effect. "About dawn, the Turks once more attempted to attack over the open, but nearly the whole of these attacking forces, about half a battaillon, were shot down, and a final bomb attack, though commenced, failed utterly. "Prisoners brought in state that three fresh battalions were employed in the main attack, which was made by personal order of Enver Pasha, the Turkish war minister, who, as they definitely assert, was present in the trenches on June 29. This is confirmed by the statement of an intelligent Armenian prisoner captured on that date. According to him, stringent orders were recently issued that no further attacks were to be made, because if the Turks remained on the defensive the British would be forced to attack and would suffer severely, as the Turks hitherto had suffered, but Enver Pasha when he arrived in the northern section overrode the instructions, and orders were received by the prisoner's regiment that the Australians were to be driven into the sea. "On July 2, after a heavy bombardment of our advanced positions by high explosives and shrapnel, lasting half an hour, the enemy infantry advanced, but were driven back to the main nullah, about a mile from our front, by the accurate shooting of the Scorpion. "The Turkish officers could be seen endeavoring to get their men forward, but they would not face the fire and retreated in disorder after suffering heavy casualties. The ground in front of our trenches in every direction can be seen covered with Turkish dead. Patrols sent out at night report that the valleys and ravines are also full of them. "After checking and counterchecking the reports from all sources I put down their total casualties between June 28 and July 2 at 5,150 killed and 15,000 wounded."

The next step toward efficiency lay in the direction of physical examination to determine the approach of disease in its incipient stage. "There should be an understanding with the workers that this examination is not for the purpose of preparing him for the scrap pile," he said, "but for the purpose of maintaining a condition of bodily health that will materially prolong his working days, together with a higher degree of earning capacity and efficiency. "Two general methods have been in use for some years by forty-two representative rail roads of this country, with the general predominance in favor of the hospital organization, where the men theselves contribute a certain monthly amount toward their maintenance. Twenty-four of the forty-two railroads are today using the hospital organizations, some of which were established as long as fifty years ago. This was primarily brought about on account of a certain number of these roads running through a very sparsely settled country, where settlements and doctors were few and far between, and there were no hospitals, and where I was found that men often suffered and sometimes died because of lack of immediate and proper care. By a small contribution by the men they were enabled to receive the proper care by good men and to enjoy the comforts that were necessary toward their well being, and with but small cost to themselves. "The other eighteen roads employ surgeons and hospitals and treat their men for occupational injuries, paying all bills for such treatment and care without the small monthly assessment contributed by the men. There have been many arguments by learned economists both for and against each method." "The Transportation of Consumptives" was exhaustively considered in a paper by Dr. Henry B. Hemenway of Evanston, Ill. Dr. Hemenway said that, although consumptives were prone to travel in greater numbers than any other one class of persons afflicted with disease, humanitarianism, as well as law, would protect them in their desire to travel unless it be shown that their journeys particularly endangered their fellow travelers. The conclusion to which he came after reviewing statistics and laws bearing on the subject was that the dangers involved were comparatively slight and that any attempt at segregation of consumptives during transportation was impracticable. If the federal government were to undertake restriction of the travel of consumptives in the United States; he said, it could do so only if the nuisance were very real. One thing to be considered, he said, was the fact that most cases of tubercular infection occurred during childhood and that the large proportion of travelers were adults. Again, if there were special dangers to the travelling public we should find passenger brakemen and conductors showing a higher consumptive rate than similar employees on freight trains. But the reverse is the case, he said, and quoted a number of authorities to that effect. Seeks Aid of Employers. New York.

H. JACOBS, 523 41-2 Street Southwest, Washington, D. C. Tuskegee N. I. Institute at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church. The great Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute of Alabama and its most marvelous president, Dr. Booker T. Warhington, were nicely represented at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church Saturday night, July 10, 1915. Mr. Charles Winter Wood and the Jubilee Singers rendered selections which highly gratified the large audience present. In his remarks Mr. Wood informed those present that Dr. Washington is a believer in higher education as is shown in the employment of teachers. More than ninety per cent of the teachers at Tuskegee are graduates of leading colleges in America. Mr. Wood told his audience that about thirty-five years ago with about thirty pupils, Dr. Washington opened the Tuskegee Institute with himself the only teacher in a one-room shanty which had been used for a Methodist church, and to-day the school has two thousand pupils, representing thirty-four states and eighteen foreign countries; one hundred and seven buildings, including an electric plant costing two hundred and forty thousand dollars. Of the two thousand pupils in term time there are 1200 young men and 800 young women; and 202 teachers and 9,000 graduates. Only four of the 9,000 graduates ever went to jail. Bishop L. J. Coppins, one of the chief pastors of the great A. M. E. Church, spoke in glowing terms of Dr. Washington and his great work at Tuskegee. Among other things he said that Dr. Washington is a most remarkable man doing a most remarkable work with a most remarkable zeal. He advises men and women of their chosen professions to do as well as Dr. Washington. The meeting was in charge of Mr. Lassiter and Rev. Stepteau, the pastor of the church. A handsome collection was taken to aid Tuskegee. BAPTIST MINISTERS.

Paris.—The problem of tepopulation of France is receiving the attention of the Academy of Moral and Political Sciences. Figures were read at a meeting of the academy showing that the number of births annually in the country in the last twenty years fell from 860,000 to 750,000. It is estimated if a proportionate decrease should continue for another twenty years the future military classes would be 30,000 less than the classes of 1914, 1915 and 1916. The question was considered so vital it was suggested that important advantages should be accorded fathers of families having numerous children and that the idea be generalized that the normal family comprises three children. It was suggested that the heads of such families be allowed to share in a proposed recompense.
