IF IT'S NEWS, IT'S IN THE BEE, FOR THE BEE IS A NEWSPAPER. THE BEE WASHINGTON Washington's Best and Leading Negro Newspaper That's THE BEE VOL. XXXVI, NO. 17 WASHINGTON, D.C. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1915 THE HANDMAIDENS OF PHARQAH Many thousand years ago just before the Shepherd Kings conquered Egypt, Ra Nese, a full blooded black man, was crowned Pharoh of Egypt. Most of the Pharocas had more or less Negro blood and perhaps the greatest of all, Pharoha-h-Nefertare, is always painted black and must have been nearly full-blooded. But it was seldom that a negro born outside of Egypt was crowned with the Double Crown, and this was the case with Ra-Nese. The Pageant to be given in the American League Ball Park, October 11, 13, and 15, has served on this incident as one of the culminating points of the kind of the live scenes. Ra-Nese, chleftain of the Kushites, rushes in at the head of his warriors. He and his Egyptians prepare for war. Then the chleftain recognizes among the Egyptians the insignia of his own race's religion, which the Egyptians had appropriated. The Egyptians noted that the Negro Chleftain bears the sacred Vraeus. The two nations fraternize and exchange gifts. Suddenly the priests proclaim Ra-Nese, Pharoh of Egypt Amid loud acclaim he and his sister are crowned before the temple and seated on the great throne. Music is heard in the distance and slowly and gracefully, fifty dancing girls, the Handmaidens of Pharoah, approach and dance gracefully before the black and new-crowned monarch. The scene above was photographed from the Pageant as given in New York a year ago and gives some idea of the beauty of the setting and costume. The Proceeds of The Pageant. Many are asking to what use the net proceeds of the Pageant will be put. No public announcement of the disposition of the net proceeds has hitherto been made, for the simple reason that the cost of the Pageant is so great, and the admission price so low, that it is doubtful if the enterprise can hope to do more than clear expenses. It will cost fully $4,000 to stage the Pageant. Of this the citizens of Washington are furnishing $1,000, and from the first thousand dollars of the gross proceeds, this money will be refunded. The expenses of the Houzon Guild, about $2,000, will be subtracted. If there is anything left after the $4,000 of expense thus provided for the directors of the local association have decided that one half of these net proceeds shall go to the Playground fund of the colored public schools. The other half of the net proceeds shall be divided as follows: one-third to the Houzon Guild for the promotion of Pageants elsewhere; two-thirds to the guarantors for such disposition as they see fit. Participants Wanted. The Pageant requires the voluntary services of 1,000 persons. No compensation can be offered but the chance to be a part of a great historic drama—to receive expert training in dramatic action and dancing and to help in a movement for education and uplift is unrivaled. Will you not volunteer your services? It will require time and labor on your part: time for rehearsals which must be frequent and consciously attended; some labor in making your costume; the material is furnished free and expert help in cutting and fitting, but each participant must help finish the work. Will you join in the greatest dramatic festival ever given by the Negro-American? Remember that we want all the people. The actors are confined to no age, size, color, social condition or income. They represent the mass of the people. Rehearsals are proceeding daily. Apply at head-quarters, 1216 You street, northwest, 'phone 1790. TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE OPENS THIRTY-FIFTH ANNUAL SESSION. Nine Hundred Students Enrolled First Three Days—Many New Teachers. Tuskegee, Ala., September 18.—The thirty-fifth annual session of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute began Tuesday, September 14th. Beginning Monday morning, the 13th, special cars filled with eager-faced young men and women began to arrive and by the time for enrollment Tuesday morning, fully nine hundred students were in the grounds to begin the work of the new school year. Students from twenty or more states and many foreign countries are already represented and the number continues to increase each day. Among the foreign countries represented are Porto Rico, Hayti, the West Indies, India, South Africa, Abyssinia and even revolution-ridden Mexico has sent one of her sons to seek the educational opportunities offered at the Institute. Shop and farm and schoolroom have taken up the work laid down in May and the daily routine has been resumed with the same clock-like precision and regularity as, though yesterday was a day in May. A number of changes have been made in the Faculty and many new THE MASS faces are seen in the Teachers Dining Room. Among the important changes are the following: Mr. Ezra C. Roberts, who for a number of years has been in the Division of History and Geography of the Academic Department, has been appointed Director of the Academic Department to succeed Mr. J. R. E. Lee; Mr. Lee having been appointed Principal of the Lincoln High School of Kansas City, Missouri. Mr. Roberts brings in his office long association with the work and excellent training combined with marked native ability. After several months leave of absence during which time she sought to regain her health by taking complete rest. Miss Susan Helen Porter, who for a number of years was Dean of the Woman's Department, returned to her former position as Dean. Both Miss Porter and Mr. Roberts, by reason of their positions, become members of the Executive Council. Principal Washington was at the school during the opening days. "The Gossips." (For "The Bee.") Say, Sue, I just saw Alice Green, The freshest thing I've ever seen; Is wearing someone's diamond ring; They say she goes with Thomas King, What! with that man: he has a wife; Divorced? Perhaps; but mercy! life! They say he's gone right down to drink. drink, And runs around; and just to think Of what they say of Ettle May; A widow, too; she is "some gay!" And wears so many different clothes; Where does she get them? Lands! who knows. Look, do you know that Mr. Star? I hate him, but he has "some car;" You have him come around some time. And say, "Let's take a friend of mine." The serpent's dance, you heard of it. That Pipp girl thought she made a hit. Was dancing, guggling all the while; Her dress was really not in style. I really had no business there. For it was quite a mixed affair. Look, here comes Alice and Ettie May With that Pipp girl, I do say! Oh, hello, girls! you old mean thing, Alice, how is dear Thomas King: And Ettie May, my girl, you dress! I envy you I must confess. And Miss Pipp, at the Serpent's Ball You really made a hit with all; I liked your gown, that new effect; And say, the crowd was real select; Well, good-bye, glad you came around; A nosy bunch as can be found. Look! if you meet them any where. Don't mention what I say, you hear? —By Annie Laurence Lucas. MISS BURROUGHS Presented a Handsome Touring Car at the Chicago Convention-Gift of Friends Throughout the Country Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, President of the National Training School for Women and Girls and Corresponding Secretary of the Woman's Convention Auxiliary to the National Baptist Convention, has a brand new handsome touring car. It is the gift of her man friends throughout the country. The presentation was made during the National Baptist Convention at Chicago. The many encomiums heaped upon her during the convention is an evidence of the high esteem in which she is held. Men and women joined in making the gift. No woman in America works harder than Miss Burroughs, and she is not so narrow as to conne her efforts to any one denomination. She serves the people and the people delight to honor her A woman so busy serving others has no time to lose on street cars THE HANDMAIDENS OF PHAROH The Star of Ethiopia minutes. A more practical gift could not have been made, and no woman in the country is more worthy of it. Anything done to make Miss Burrough's burden lighter now will fit her for greater and longer service. The Bee does its hat to Miss Burroughs' personal friends throughout the country who made this handsome gift. ECHO MEETING. Last Sunday night the Mt. Carmel Baptist Church held a great echo meeting of the National Baptist Convention which met in Chicago September 6th to 12th. A most vivid program was rendered and the attendance was very large. Miss Sophronia spoke, on the "Dominant notes and sermons delivered during the sessions." Her address was witty and spicy as well as full of information and helpful instruction. Miss D. E. Harris told of the entertainment of the delegates by the Olivet Baptist Church and friends at Chicago. She also made mention of their visit to Miss Jane Adams' great social settlement house. In setting forth the many reasons why the Chicago meeting was the best, Miss R. E. Tolliver, Supt. of the Florida Baptist Sunday School, told of the spiritual uplift of the meetings, dwelling particularly on the lives for service in the salvation of their race at home and abroad. Not only did Miss M. Helen Adams of the "Centre," sing the spirit of service that animates her into the hearts of her hearers, but she also spoke on the good effect the meetings have on the lives of those women in going back to their various fields of labor. The "1916 Program" for the work of the convention was given by Miss Nannie H. Burroughs. Among the many things outlined two stand out very prominent, the holding of Educational Institutes and the Summer School for Missions and social service, to be in session six weeks during the summer of 1916. Echos of interest from the Men's Meeting was given by the pastor of the church. The growing congregation shows the effect of the wonderful sermons that are being delivered by Rev. W. H. Jernagin. Not only are the crowds being drawn, but men and women are uniting with the church and entering into the spirit of the work and giving their best service to the work of the Master. THE BAPTIST WOMEN. Mr. Editor: In your last week's paper I read on the front page under the heading, "Baptists in Row," a whole column concerning the mis-conduct of the two factions of The National Baptist Convention, which met in Chicago, week before last, but failed to see one line concerning the thousand or more splendid women which met at the same time in another church, not far from the Armory. These women were an auxiliary to the Convention, and a greater meeting in every way was never held by a body of women. There is some talk of some of the men being unfrocked on their return to their home churches, but I think if the women would get together and unfrock that black editor whose business it is to meet all these Negro Conventions, to report for The Associated Press, by closing their doors in his face, they would do a good deed. A man in that position who holds up to the world only the blackest side of his race should be put out of business. Those women held a convention that the world could not be ashamed of, yet not a word was sald of them. The exhibit of needle work at the Lincoln Jubilee was great, yet it did not surpass the same kind of needle work done by the women of that Convention, and The National Training School for girls, under Mrs. Emma C. Babiness. Papers by many of the women were great and would do honor were they published in any body's paper. I am not a newspaper writer, but feel it a shame that some of the great and good things the race is doing cannot be spoken of and leave out some of the bad. Miss N. H. Bumus, Miss Hellen Adams, Miss Emma Hall, and Mrs. Emma Cabiness of my own church, 19th Baptist, all rendered noble series in making the Convention a success. Respectfully yours, MAE J. RICHARDS. It is a great pity that the above noble women didn't go and look after the ministers. If the reports that came to The Bee are true, the conduct of some of them was undefenceable indeed and disgraceful. When ministers of the Gospel cannot meet without a disgraceful row, they should keep their mouths closed. If Mrs. Richardson wishes to know the conduct of some of the ministers at Chicago The Bee will inform her. Editor Rev. Dr. Reed Preaches Able Sermon at Second Baptist Church. Reverand Daniel L. Reed, the successful pastor of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church. Fredericksburg, Va., preached an able sermon last Sunday morning in the Second Baptist Church, third street, northwest, between H and I streets. Dr. Reed made a profound impression on his audience. Mr. Austin Fickling, one of the leading members of the church, publicly declared his only regret the sermon was not preached in Convention hall filled with our people. Mr. William Richards, the senior deacon, was so deeply moved, that he gave Dr. Reed $25 to send him a copy of the sermon, and urged its publication. Dr. Reed is a graduate of Howard University from the department of Theology 1910, with class honors. He is one of the most elequent and forceful young preachers Howard has sent out. Mrs. Reed captivated the audience when she effectionally sung two selections to the spiritual uplift of all. After the sermon Dr. Reed was flooded with congratulations. FAIRMOUNT HEIGHTS. The old homestead of W. Sidney Pittman has been sold. Respectfully yours, MAE L. RICHARDS Dr. Cardozza and wife have been ill. The Fairmount Heights public schools opened Monday with the following teachers in charge: Misses Justinia Wilks, Mary Cooper, Hattie De Vride, Florence M. Hunt, and Mr. Campbell. The last-named teacher may resign on account of a cut in his salary. A placard is posted inviting pupils to go to the Burrville school. This is a scheme, so it is claimed, to cripple the Fairmount Heights school. There is a growing feeling and widespread opposition among the teachers and people against James F. Armstrong, a supervisor of the schools in Prince George county. Although Mr. Armstrong is no longer a trustee, he attempts to dictate and give orders in violation of his authority. His last order was given to the teachers not to allow Dr. Laura Killingsworth, who has been vaccinating the school for from three to four years, to vaccinate the children because Dr. Killingsworth never visits his (Armstrong's) wife. Mr. Trotter, a trustee and a level-headed man, ordered Dr. Killingsworth to vaccinate the children, and stated that Mr. Armstrong had no authority to issue such an order; that he had no authority to issue an order directing Dr. Willis Jones to do all of the vaccinating of the children. The day that was set apart for the children to be vaccinated, Dr. Killingsworth was at the building bright and early, and had vaccinated almost the entire building, and when Dr. Jones arrived he found that he had nothing to do. The supervisor became very much offended, and wanted to know who gave the order. When he was told that Trustee Trotter had given the order he was stunned. "O!" remarked one of the teachers. "this means the decapitation of Mr. Trotter's official head." Mr. Trotter is popular with the people of Fairmount Heights, Maryland, and from the sentiments of the people. Mr. Armstrong's removal would greatly benefit the entire Colored school system of Prince George's county, Md. Charges are now being formulated against him to be forwarded to the school authorities at Annapolis. REV. FRANCIS GREGORY. The People's Congregational Church Calls the Young Divine. Rev. Francis Gregory, no doubt one of the best educated ministers in this country, and a son of Prof. James M. Gregory, formerly of Bordentown, N. J., and Howard University, received a unanimous call from the congregation of the People's Congregational Church. It will be remembered that Dr. Gregory preached with others a trial sermon to the members of this church some few weeks ago, of which The Bee made mention, and spoke in commendable terms of Dr. Gregory, and said, among other things, that he would be the very minister for that church. The Bee was correct, and the people of that church could not have selected a better man. Dr. Gregory is a young man of ability, and The Bee is of the opinion that the church will grow under his pastorate. The first Sunday in October, which is the third of October, Dr. Gregory will preach his initial sermon. Students of theology should not fail to hear him. TWO DISCOVERED. Looking over the list of the public comfort committee The Bee by the aid of its telescope discovered the names of Prof. L. M. Hershaw and Dr. Warfield. Thousands of Negroes Fought For Liberty. Major Raymond W. Pullman, Chief of Police, City. My Dear Sir: I don't want you to think that I desire to dictate to you as to the personal of your Public Comfort Committee, but looking over the list of your committee, I fall to discover one representitive colored citizen. In this parade, Major, allow me to state, that there will be colored veterans who defended this country before you were born, and I am confident that, in your haste you overlooked a few of our representative colored citizens. During the war of the Rebellion the white and black soldiers, fought for a flag which waves over a country of which any American may feel prowd. If you don't consider the suggestion an intrusion, kindly permit me to suggest the names of a few representative citizens to wit: Mr. Aaron Russell, Mr. Jerome Johnson, Mr. Wm. H. Bruce, Prof. W. S. Montgomery, Attorney Thomas L. Jones, Attorney A. W. Scott, Attorney B. L. Gaskins, Dr. John W. Morse, Dr. W. L. Board, Dr. Napper, S. W. Rutherford, Dr. U. J. Daniels, Dr. S. M. Pierre, Rev. W. H. Brooks, Rev. S. N. Brown, Rev. W. W. D. Norman, Rev. J. Milton Waldron. These are only a few, Major Pullman, of the many hundreds of colored representative citizens in this city. It is true, that there is a Jim Crow annex to this celebration, but I am one among the many who does not believe in race discrimination and Jim Crowism, but who believes that one race is no better than the other, except when that race is unable to compete with his competitors. If consistant with the public service committed to your care, I respectfully suggest the appointment on your committee, the names I have above suggested. With assurance of my high esteem and kind wishes for the public spirit, you seem to manifest, believe me to be. Very respectfully. WM. CALVIN CHASE. WEST WASHINGTON. For engagement of the Orpheus Dramatic Co., now rendering "Saul, the King of Israel," in five acts, see Mr. Jas. L. Turner, Mgr., 2507 P street northwest. The Bee agency is at A. T. Pride's Drruggist, 28th and P streets, northwest, where the paper is sold. A very attractive and unique service was had at Ebenezer A. M. E. Church, O street, on last Sunday, entitled "Harvest Gathering." The members of the congregation had contributed vegetables of all kinds which were spread on a large table before the altar. The pastor, Rev. M. R. Gullin, spoke from the 14th chap. of St. Luke and 10th verse, to a very large concourse of people, and on Monday a dinner was served from the repast from 2 to 5 o'clock, many participating, which added a neat sum for the benefit of the church. Rev. Jas. L. Diggs, the newly elected pastor of the First Baptist Church occupied the pulpit of his church on Sunday during the day at the 11 o'clock service. He delivered a very able sermon from the 2 Cor., 8 V. 2 chap., to the large congregation present and with one of the best Sunday schools and choirs. Rev. Diggs has a splendid field to labor in which he is eminently well prepared to pastorate. The unamious election of Dr. Chas. H. Marshall as Deputy Grand Master of the District Grand Lodge, No. 20 of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, was not a surprise as he could have been easily elected to the Grand Mastorship had his adherents took the advice of some of the leading delegates attending the session. The lodges in this section are pleased at his election. District Grand Lodge No. 20, G. U. O. of O. F., at the meeting of their twenty-ninth session has elected for the ensuing term the following as officers: Charles S. Hill, Grand Master, Charles H. Marshall, Dept. Grand Master, George Cook, Grand Secretary, B. J. Tyler, Grand Director, Charles H. Harris, Tréasurer, Delegate to Hall Association, H. W. Crump. Miss Minnie Gordon has returned from New Jersey and will open her school of music on September 20, at 1122 20th street. Rev. W. C. Thompson and Mrs. M. Thompson and little daughter with baby have returned from a visit down South. Rev. G. A. Davis of Riesterstown, Md., will deliver a special sermon Sunday morning at Mt. Zion M. E. Church. Rev. Mayo of Baltimore, Md., will occupy the pulpit of the First Baptist Church Sunday during the day in the place of Rev. Jas. R. L. Diggs, the regular pastor. The erection of the Jerusalem Baptist Church will begin in a few days. The building is to be built on the site. Twenty-sixth and P streets. and is to be a modern edifice of excellent taste. Rev. Geo. W. Harris is the pastor. (By the Sage of the Potomac.) Bob Stevenson who writ a lot of novels and other stuff, but who is now buried on a lonely island in a grave what has a headboard reading, "Here Lies Robert Lewis Stevenson," etc., once said that "the lantern-bearers are a blessed kind." There aint not record of where the now defunct Bob ever took his pen in hand to write about the tale-bearers. Now these tale-bearers aint no new discovery or invention. Away back yander two thousand years ago, Judas, who was a ten thousand dollar star in the Tale-bearer League, got off a few lines of "hear-say" evidence. Now this old berg has a lot of professional tale-bearers who are a miserable persuasion. Somehow on another they just feel a sort of "malign delight," as the Georgia peach, Lafe Hershaw, says, in causing mischief by bearing false witness, indited it down in his jungle tale this here sentence: "full of stories half-heard and very badly told." Now don't you know this fits the tale-bearer. He or she, and she is just as many hes and shes in this berg what belong to the Tale-bearer League, who bears tales about town just half hear the facts and then make a dive for second base with a very badly told story. Then again, still worser than this, is the mere default of skill on the part of the 300 hitters in the Tale-bearer League, and the blank absence of veracity of these mongrels what git hold of a half-heard bit of ripe juicy scandal and then try to steal second, third and home on their bunt. From an inch of fact they hand out an ell of fiction. As fiction inventors they just naturally have got Vicky Hugo and Jules Verne merely hitting 187 in the minor league of fiction. Old Virgil, with whom a lot of us have associated with down at M Street High, up at Howard, and a few of us down at Harvard and Amherst, etc., said that "rumor first crept, then walked, then soared aloft on swung pinions." Now in unaccounted modern instances, especially around these diggins, from a feeble hesitant original, a monstrous preverification springs up, grows strong, gives a sanguinary battle to shrinking Truth, and then just sails over You Street, down Eleventh, over S and around T and Vermont Avenue, and gyrates around Del Washington's thirst parlor, Aaron Gaskin's Gln Flz emporium, Bob Allen's retreat and presides as chairman at all card parties and Musilage Club meetings. Now this habit of tale-bearing, like the habit of drinking mint jellies when the mercury in the thermometer hits the top of the tube, grows darnation fast when it once takes root, and it always takes root in them there jealous cast-offs from the Selfish League. It's just like a certain lawyer, in this town, appetite for publicity—when once it has had a fair start, it just naturally holds sway by a horrible fascination. It is just fine to see the splash one of these tale-bearer's stories makes in the dicty society of this city of beautiful restrospection. The perpetrator just finds a lovely diabolical, morbid pleasure in the writhing of his victim. Being sufficiently plausible to fool one hearer, he proceeds to another, and to another,malevolently gleeful in the prospect of putting the whole neighborhood in an uproar, and smashing the purity of some man or woman who aint doing a thing but minding their own business. But I'm handing you this bunch of dope, and it aint no over-ripe con-con talk either, that some day these 300 hitters in the Tale-bearers League will face a spit-ball pitcher from the Get-Even League what will strike them out three in a row. Down at Gaskin's one day last week one of these 300 hitters in the Washington club of the Tale-bearer League, ran into one of them there silent, goabout his own-business men he had talked about, and when this here silent, etc., man faced him with the story he had told, the tale-bearer, unable to substantiate his filmsy story shuffled, denounced, (as we Sun-down lawyers say) and finally took refuge in the back yard of old man Sweeping Generalities. At first he tried to show a three-ply indignation that he would be accused of peddling anything but just double-concrete truth, but when run down to the last ditch, and made to jump into that ditch, he throwed the whole blame for the fiction on an invisible "personal friend whom I thought I could rely on." This 300 hitter in the Tale-bearer League, sort of tried to make believe that he was a stainless paragon, and that the blot was on another—"a personal friend" escrutcheon. But my friend who took him to account would stand for this here cheese-cloth excuses, and didn't do a thing but slap the face of the 300 hitter in the Tale-bearer League once, twice and thrice right there and then. But they are such high-standing members of diety society, that the whole thing was hushed up, and I only got the tip by accident when I gave a brother the pass-word for the Scottish Right when he left the other day to do a little visiting. He thought it would useful to have a bunch of pass-words around, in case he got broke, and out of gratitude for giving him a few, he tipped this story off to me. And believe me its the real, hard-bolled truth and never forget it. . 0 . . . Over in "Little Old New York" them there derelicts what is recorded in the Census returns by Bob Pelham and Charley Hall as just plain "Negroes," are doing all kinds of kicking cause Gov. Whitman aint took no account of them. When I was over there the other week they sure did pour a tale of woe in my ear. Governor Whitman, just like Mayor Mitchell, when he was a runnin', for his office just simply Mexican-salved the brown boys with all kinds of assurance' bout handing out good offices to them. Now that he is in office, he's forgot they are on earth, and aint give them a frazzling thing. Charley Whitman sort of got it in his noodle that' he was big enough for president, and I guess mcbehe thought if he didn't give the Hamites any recognition he would please the rebel South and carry them "lowdog" states, gittin' Vardaman, Hoke Smith, Tillman, and all that bunch of "nigger-haters" on his bandwagon. Well the Hamites over there, includin' Gill Stewart, who is some times referred to, merely in jest, as the "Little Nepoleon of Politics," are a sayin' what they will do to Charley Whitman when he runs again for governor will sure be rediculous. Course Whitman's presidential boom has lost all its gas filling and he's got as much show of bein' nominated for president as Bishop Walters has of a landin' some dark-complexioned individual in a good job under Wilson. In New York the Hamites are singin' "We've got a little list, and Johnie 'Pewroy' Mitchell and Charley Whitman are sure on the list." And when these two Mexican salve artists run again they will find the teekwood voters in that state aint playin' no Poobah stunt either. They will sure vote again' 'em, and early and often, if permissible. This has sure been a bad year for Brother Ham both in business and politics. PARAGRAPHIC NEWS. The Odd Fellows of Georgia have in successful operation a model demonstration farm near Macon, Ga. The farm consists of 281 acres, 110 of which are under cultivation. Washington, Ark., has the distinction of having the first negro electric light and power company, capitallized at $23,000. This company is composed entirely of colored men. For the first time in the history of Chicago, the city hall was closed and employees given a holiday in honor to pay tribute to the colored races. The day was designated as Chicago day on the program of the semi-centennial celebration of negro freedom. Dr. A. J. Cary, formerly principal of the colored public schools of Athens, has been appointed by Mayor William Hale Thompson of Chicago to the position as investigator of claims. This has been one of the best positions given a colored man as it carries a salary of $3,000 per year. Joseph P. Tumulty, Secretary to the President, denied that President Wilson and Secretary of War Garrison are in disagreement on the subject of National defense. The monument erected to the memory of Dante, in Italy, and considered a masterpiece of sculpture was demolished by the Austrians in order that the bronze may be used for making cannons. The attendance at the Panama-Pacific exposition has reached the 13,000,000 mark. The average daily attendance since the exposition opened has been 61,311. Shanghai, China, has a woolen mill and the merchants have agreed to push the sale of home made goods, as the amount of yarn usually sold through this port is annually said to be more than $35,000,000 in gold. John B. Norris, a prominent clubman in Philadelphia, Pa., has filed the necessary evidence and will make the fight in the primary for the nomination of councilman from the 30th ward. Sixteen colored men were discharged in New York. German and Austrians who have been interned on the German ships take their place. Chas. Morex, superintendent, is responsible. This is one of the steps being taken to care for the Germans forced to stay in this country because of war. The Haitian Congress met last week to appoint a committee to take up the new treaty with the United States by which an American protectorate practically will assume control of the island's financial and police arrangements for preserving order.

The demand for women doctors exceeds the supply, according to a statement by the London School of Medicine for Women, in London. This school has trained 600 women doctors. BALTIMORE LOSES VALUABLE TEACHERS. In the resignation of Misses Lucinda Cook and Annie O'H. Williamson the Baltimore Colored School System loses two teachers whose places cannot be easily filled. Miss Cook was supervisor of practice, Miss Williamson, teacher of methods in the Normal School. Both of these ladies are thorough students who have made ample use of their every opportunity to extend their own education at home and at various summer schools where they have pursued courses. By their painstaking, conscientious and just efforts they have made deep and lasting impressions upon the scores of young teachers in the System who are striving to live up to the lofty professional ideals set before them by these enthusiastic teachers. Their services have been in very great demand in late years as teachers in various summer schools in the North and the South. They have had many tempting offers to take positions elsewhere before this, but having their plans for constructive work in Baltimore so extensively laid, they were unwilling to leave them sooner. They go to the opportunity of rendering much larger service to the race, with increased compensation. Miss Cook becomes principal of the Normal School at Wilberforce University, Ohio; Miss Williamson is to teach education in the same school. Prof. Joiner is to be highly congratulated for his ability to appreciate strong and valuable teachers; his gain is Baltimore's irreparable loss. Both these ladies taught formerly in the Washington schools. NEW DEPARTMENT STORE. Go and visit the new Colored department store where everything you want is soid, 1832 Fourteenth street N. W. NATION'S BIG MEN TO PLAN DEFENSE Aerial Torpedo Boat Now Under Discussion-Idea Patented by Rear Admiral Fiske Twenty Years Ago-Believed Device Can Be Perfected For Use In Landlocked Harbors. Washington.-The first great gathering in the United States to consider the national defense question will be held in Washington from Oct. 4 to 7. It will take place immediately following the Grand Army of the Republic encampment here and will be under the auspices of the National Defense league. It is planned that the gathering shall be one of representative citizens from every state of the Union, who will consider what measures must be taken by congress to increase the fighting arms of the country. The conference will be presided over by Representative Kalm of California, chairman, and Senator, Robert E. Broussard of Louisiana, vice chairman of the National Defense league. An invention which was perfected by Rear Admiral Fiske almost twenty years ago, when he was a lieutenant commander in the navy, is being considered by naval designers as a possible basis for the construction of aerial torpedo boats which might inflict tremendous damage on an enemy's battleships. The Fiske invention provides for the construction of a flying vessel which would carry a torpedo weighing one ton. One of the principal values of [Name] such a flying machine, in the opinion of naval experts, would be its ability to attack handlocked fleets. Swooping down at a distance of five sea miles from the object of attack, the air craft would drop its deadly passenger into the water just as it would have been launched from a destroyer. The impact sets the torpedo's machinery in motion, and it is off at a speed of more than forty knots, an hour to ward the enemy ship. Acroplanes to carry a ton of dead weight have been perfected by several countries. Russia is said to have several that will carry twenty men, and the new British air craft probably will have similar capacity. It is said to be possible that a type of radio controlled torpedo might be employed, one airplane carrying a torpedo and another the wireless machinery to control the missile's flight through the water. It is pointed out that Admiral Fiske obtained patents on such a method of control in 1900, when he was a lieutenant commander in the navy. They are said to be so broad and farreaching as to underlie all subsequent developments of radio controlled devices. "My invention," says the application filed by Lieutenant Commander Fiske, "is especially applicable to automobile torpedoes and makes it possible to control the movements of a torpedo with great certainty from a shore, from the deck of a ship or a lake." Since the aerial torpedo plan was advanced reports have come that German engineers were at work on a similar scheme. It is planned to drop from aeroplanes a torpedo that can be guided by radio impulses during its fall and send it with absolute certainty to its mark. Further tests of the Isham high explosive fuse for use in navy shells will be made soon by the naval board appointed eight months ago to determine the value of this device submitted by Willard S. Isham. The fuse was a subject of controversy during the last congress, and the special board, headed by Rear Admiral Fiske, was appointed to conduct the tests. Admiral Fiske's recommendation that several fuses be made with improvements suggested by the board since previous experiments showed no very satisfactory result. HISTORICAL CHARTS. The unique historical selections of original compositions of great men by Mr. Miles C. Maxfield does honor to the colored race. These pictures and biographies are histories themselves, which should be in the homes of everybody. Not only should these historical charts be in every colored home, but they should be in our schools as well. The colored child knows but little of the great colored men of the race. Mr. Maxfield tells you who John Mercer Langston is; he tells you of Robert B. Elliot. Read elsewhere in this paper the 38 historical pictures. Mr. Maxfield was kind enough to present two of our favorite statesmen to The Bee, which shall adorn its office. Let every patriotic colored American send for one or all of the 38 historical charts. HISTORIC PICTURES With the History of Patriotic Americans. They serve a five-fold Requisite purpose: For home and office ornament, for Veneration to our patriotic Benefactors, for the truth of history for newspaper articles, for patriotic sentiment from all our Libraries, for imparting patriotic history not heretofore easy of access.

We see no Word Negro in Holy Writ, Then why degrade Hamite-Americans with words like unto it. Why be proud of the word Negro with its capital "N," It leads to nothing but some black thing.

Man exist by animal, vegetable, and mineral colors, In God's great plan we should always follow. Let us stop Race-prejudice on account of color. And prevent a world of trouble that always follows.

Don't bother about color in our great progress; America must lead civilization in all the great West. Ye Anglo-Saxons, Normans, Picts and Danes, In ages past the Blacks for the whites have made fortunes in King Cotton; With a square deal and fair chance, let not all these significant facts be now forgotten. In every battle fought, a Black patriot's name they sought; The Blacks captured the works at New Market Heights; That's why their descendants should have equal rights. The blacks look on their patriotic record with pride and cheer. Because the Union has been saved That's why their descendants should have equal rights.

Such an order is issued without authority of law, and The Bee is of the opinion that no court of equity would sustain it if a teacher tested it. Our good friend Dr. Childs must have been asleep to have allowed such an order to pass without a protest. The Bee takes this opportunity on behalf of the people to commend Dr. Childs for the stand he took on the Grand Army "Jim Crow" issue that came up at the last meeting of the Board of Education. Dr. Childs is only wrong on one question, and he well knows what that question is without being personal. Let this unjust rule be rescinded no matter who the author of it is, unless it applies to Mr. Thurston as well as to all the employees, down to the scullion in the schools. No court will sustain it. This order, in the opinion of The Bee, is badly drawn. It doesn't exempt the teacher who has been given a leave of absence prior to or at the expiration of the school term. He must be examined also by the medical director. The Board should be more explicit. Suppose a teacher is well at expiration of the school term, and is taken sick while on leave, what remedy has he or she? Both are subject to this drastic order. BAPTIST WOMEN The Bee has been informed that the Woman's National Baptist Convention that met in Chicago during the meeting of the National Baptist Convention proper was not a contributor to nor effected by the confusion and disorder reported in these columns last week. We clip the following from the Western Messenger, one of the organs of the Convention: "The women had one of the most interesting meetings in the history of the organization. The addresses, sermons, discussions and the manner in which the business was conducted was of a high order. The election of officers was har- monious and quiet. The reports were all encouraging and inspiring." We are glad that the great organization of women, of which Miss Nannie H. Burroughs is the corresponding secretary, was not affected and we hope that the women of the Baptist denomination who are doing the greatest work of any body of Negro women in the world will not be disturbed by the rupture that has come in the great organization of men. The officers of the Woman's Convention are highly qualified women and we hope that wisdom and discretion will direct them in this crisis. The National President, Mrs. S. Wille Layten, lives in Philadelphia. She is a woman of dignity and power. Miss Burroughs' report shows that over twenty thousand dollars was raised during the year. The delegation at Chicago was the largest during the fifteen years and the program is certainly one of the best we have seen. Speakers of national reputation and specialists in religious and social service work are among them. PUBLIC COMFORT COMMITTEE The Public Comfort Committee was announced this week, but The Bee failed to see out of almost a hundred thousand colored citizens, one of this number named. It is to be regretted that this city doesn't have one representative colored citizen of sufficient intelligence to be appointed on the Public Comfort Committee to entertain the Grand Army of the Republic. In all public functions you will always find some smart colored individual to suggest a "Jim Crow" Annex. It is so in politics; it is so in religion. It would be so in heaven if some of these colored enterprising individuals had an opportunity to have a side show. Well there are no side shows in heaven or hades or in death. Die you must, and to the grave or furnace or potter's field you must go. The colored brother is a peculiar individual. Give one of them a pie to himself and he will be more or less satisfied. In another column will be read with much interest a letter from the Editor to the chairman of the Committee on Public Comfort. JUDGE MULLOWNEY. JUDGE MULLOWNEY In the District branch of the Police Court, Monday morning, Judge Alexander Mullowney gave certain officers to understand he proposed to see that certain Colored unfortunates brought into his court are given a square deal. He referred particularly to certain unfortunate Colored girls who had been arrested and brought into his court on charges of vagrancy. He had occasion to dismiss one or two cases because the testimony of the officers was filmsy. Making a record by such methods will not commend those officers to the chief of police for promotions. There will be several trials of officers before the trial board for reprehensible conduct shortly. BONE AND FLESH It will be remembered that a white man's house was raided some time ago, but up to date nothing came of it. There was gambling going on there at the time the police entered. Why make bone of one and flesh of others? Thirteen More Recorded Than For Same Period Last Year. New York. — Professor Monroe N. Work, head of the department of records and research of the Tuskegee Institute of Alabama, has compiled the records of the number of lynchings committed in the United States during the first six months of this year. In a statement given recently Booker T. Washington, the head of the Institute, shows that thirty-four men were put to death by mob violence since Jan. 1, 1915, the number being thirteen more than the figures for the same period last year. Twenty-four of the men lynchied were negroes and ten were whites. Eight, or one-fourth of the total number, occurred in Georgia. Six of the negroes and one white man were charged with assault on women, and the rest of the lynchings were on accusations of having stolen cotton, hogs, meat and cows. GOES BAREFOOT AT 73.

MAY IRWIN BACKS WILSON. Wants Cabinet Post to Laugh His Detractors Cut. of Court. New York.—May Irwin tills no position in President Wilson's cabinet, which precludes her reprimanding those she thinks talk too much, but as a suffragist who campaigned ardently for the president she feels privileged to stand up for him. So she sent a letter to President Wilson which said, among other things, "In these times, when our beloved country is facing the most crucial problems of its history, you have shown yourself as great a patriot and statesman as ever held the executive office. "But as usual there are some agitators and self seekers who for the sake of notoriety are attempting to handle the work of the president, even to the extent of hurting this nation into the bloodiest war of all history. I am only a humble almost citizen, but I think it the duty of every woman, child or man to encourage you with a direct approval of your course; hence this letter. "I would like to see a new department added to the government, to be known as the department of laughter. The function of it should be to laugh out of court these fools and self-seekers, these pests and jingoes who are trying to annoy you in your work. The rulers of old had their Sir Motley's and jesters for just such a purpose. I respectfully apply for the portfolio of this department on the-supposition that I know a good laugh when I see one." Up to the hour of going to press the good submarine Oyster Bay had not even shown its periscope preparatory to firing an answering broadside. FEW LEFT IN SHAKERTOWN. Only Four Remain In Wealthy Kentucky Settlement. Lexington, Ky.—Four elderly and infirm persons are the only occupants of the immensely valuable Shaker settlement, one of the few remaining colonies of the sect, near here. Sisters Christine Johnson, eighty-four, and Martha Olson, eighty-seven, dled one day recently within the hour. Shakertown, now so sparsely settled, once was a flourishing town, with manufactories and various business enterprises and controlling rich adjacent farm lands. Even now the property is valued at millions. Recently a trustee was appointed to manage the affairs of the colonists. Dayton, O-Orville Wright, the aeroplane inventor and manufacturer, is to devote his life to research work, giving up his business interests. The inventor for years has had the ambition to develop and amplify his research work, but since the death of his brother Willur several years ago his time has been taken up almost entirely by the management of his business and patent litigation. In the last week two offers have been made for the Wright holdings here, but without success. Mr. Wright refused to make public any offers he has received, but Dayton bankers say substantial sums and credits were concerned. "I cannot say now how soon this change will come about or give any details of how or why it will be made," said Mr. Wright. It is said Mr. Wright's health is poor and he is in a nervous condition. Confronted with this as a possible motive for selling the plant, he still refused to repeal his intentions further. "I never was interested especially in the business end of it," said Mr. Wright. "I am not averse to making money from it. But that is not what I am striving for. "My patent litigation is going favorably, both in the United States and abroad. The court of appeals has sustained the decision of lower courts in every instance, and there is a little further work along those lines. "I have not gone into the war game as other aeroplane manufacturers have. The trouble has been in getting a high powered aeroplane motor that is reliable. They are pretty delicate things, but I am working on a new 120 horsepower engine which I have not put on the market." Concerning the New York newspaper story in which it was said the German government, held an option on the Wright plant, Mr. Wright had an explanation to make. "The story is an untruth. I know that it was based merely on a suggestion that the German government get an option on this company. Some one thought it would be a good scheme for the Germans to buy the Wright company and prevent other countries from getting any machines. A letter to that effect was written to the German consul at New York, and from that source the story emanated." Beea Rout Workers. Hammond, Ind.-The iceing gang in the Indiana harbor belt yards at Rivardale was driven from the Pacific fruit express by bees, and the train was held up on the way to New York. The swarm had "homed" in the lining of a refrigerator car. The bees could not be dislodged and went on with the train. SHAVED BY SWISS ON BORDER Austrian Soldiers Operated on Through Barbed Wire Fences. Innsbruck, p Austrian Tirol. — The Swiss-Austrian frontier is carefully marked off and closed by barbed wire fences, but that does not prevent fairly free intercourse between the Swiss and the Austrian soldiers. Soldiers of both countries are grouped along the Lingadine Lorder and in the Swiss ranks is a barber, the only one of his profession on either side. A recent visitor to this front who desired to have a shave found it was obtainable by the simple expedient of sitting in a chair on the Austrian side and allowing the Swiss soldier to extend his arms through the wire meshes. The shave was not the equal of one in a regular barber shop, a bit rugged and rough in spots, but it was better than none and was accomplished with out any breach of neutrality. Austrian officers, it is asserted, resort al most daily to the odd expedient. STOLE HIDE FROM COW. Thief Took Advantage of Auto's Collision With the Animal. Baraboo, Wis.—Recently a cow belonging to Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Cohn was struck by an automobile owned by Edward Kowalhe of North Freedom. The cow was tethered in the road for a pasture, and the driver of the car claims he tried to avert an accident but could not. The leg of the cow was broken, and the animal had to be killed. Action was begun in Justice Adolph Andro's court on the ground the machine was being driven too fast, and later a change of venue was taken to Justice H. L. Halsted's court, where the case was dismissed, as the car was not going twenty-five miles an hour. Besides, cows should not pasture in the high way. The hide was removed from the animal, and later the sheriff was notified that this had been stolen. The thief has not been apprehended. New York. If fire should destroy the hall of records the city would lose its files of deeds and mortgages, upon which rest the title of Manhattan's $5,000,000,000 of realty. Register Hopper recommended in presenting his budget estimates, for 1916 to the board of estimate that the duplicate abstract records which he has completed he housed in a fireproof building away from the city. The original plant would be retained in the office for title searching purposes. This method of duplicate plants in separate localities is followed by the large title and insurance companies, but the city has neglected to protect its records. On record in the register's office are 1,039,915 deeds and over 1,000,000 mortgages. The books or libers number over 8,000. The destruction by fire of the Equitable building and of the contents of a part of the capital at Albany proved that merely depositing records in a fireproof building does not safeguard against partial or total destruction by fire. The great fire in Chicago destroyed the original records, but the damage was mitigated to a degree by the fact that abstracts made by a private company were saved. It placed owners largely at the mercy of the title company, which took huge profits from selling the abstract information. Fire and earthquake at San Francisco and fire at Jacksonville. Fla., illustrated further the great loss resulting from a destruction of title records. "The establishment of the Torrens system," says the register, "in the way it has been successfully and universally applied in Australia and many other countries, would do away completely with the need of preserving old records except for their historical interest." TO HONOR DANIEL BOONE. D. A. R. Will Unveil Bowlder Next Month. Montgomery City, Mo.—After nearly 100 years a monument is to be erected over the burial place of Daniel Boone, near Marthasville. Warren county, through the efforts of the Daughters of the American Revolution. It is to be made of a large red granite bowlder found in Warren county, which Boone selected as his last resting place. It is planned to delicate the marker Oct. 20 at the close of a conference of the Missouri Daughters which is to be held in St. Louis. Student a Hero. Franklin. Ind.—Oscar Bogard of Lyons, who is attending the summer course at Franklin college, has become a hero in the opinion of his friends in rescuing a horse from death under a train. The horse broke loose from a hitchrack in front of the college campus and ran along the railroad tracks. The buggy was demolished and the horse became entangled in the harness and fell on the tracks. A train was approaching at full speed when Bogard with almost superhuman strength dragged the horse from the tracks only a second before the engine whizzed by. 186 Mrs. Ruth Dabney is one of the oldest and first woman undertaker and embalmer in this city.

REAL YOUNG CHINA Girls Learning Dancing and Athletic Games. Shanghai, China. A gymnastic exhibition given the other afternoon was an eye opener regarding what is being done for the development of China through the younger generation. Only a very few, privileged males were allowed in the grounds, but there were perhaps a hundred or so foreign ladies and a matter of 400 or 500 Chinese mothers of families, and the latter certainly were a study. Pupils from the Shanghai Girls' school, the Chi Sue, Sung Char, Eliza Yates, South Gate Presbyterian and Bridgman Memorial schools and the Y. W. C. A. went through the regular western gymnastium drills, exercises, games and a variety of dances, such as certainly no Chinese woman would have dreamed of a few years ago.

London.-The Daily Mall's correspondent at Petrograd quotes M. Krivoshnin, minister of agriculture, as saying that the Russian harvest is not only better than in 1914, but greatly above the average for the five years preceding. The yield is estimated at 2,000,000,000 bushels, of which 571,000,000 bushels are wheat. During the five years preceding 1914 the average wheat yield was 478,000,000 bushels. The only districts where the harvest was bad were the Vilna and Grodno regions, which are now largely occupied by the Germans. The difficulty of finding enough harvest workers has been overcome and there would be no difficulty in exporting the surplus through the Black sea if the Dardanelles were opened. The Siberian harvest was below the average, but this fact is negligible when the abundance of the crops in eastern and southern Russia is remembered. JUST A "DOG'S LIFE." Kansas City Man Goes Into Particulars of Wife's Treatment. Kansas City, Mo.—"A man is about the same as a dog," James Henson said his wife told him, and he quotes the phrase in his divorce petition. Then, to show he lived a "dog's life" from the time he married his wife, Mrs. Etha Henson, in 1831, he enumerates the following indignities: She would make him leave the table before the meal was finished. She would not mend his clothes. She objected to washing his shirts. She grumbled and nagged. She had a bad disposition. She ran up bills on him. Philadelphia.—The discovery of a great temple at Memphis, Egypt, belonging approximately to the period of Hameses II., is announced by the University museum as a result of the spring and summer explorations of Sekay B. Core, Jr., of the Egyptian expedition under the leadership of Dr. Fisher, curator of the museum's Egyptian section. The find is considered of first importance and it is hoped will prove to be the beginning of further developments in the uncovering of the history of Memphis, which was one of the great cities of the world, probably the greatest in the time of Hameses II., more than 3,000 years ago, which is known to have been of great importance 5,000 years ago and probably has a history running thousands of years behind that era. The temple was silted over with mud from the Nile and covered with sand blown from the desert, so that nothing remained of the glories which were so prominent in the days of Herodotus and which lasted until within a century or two of the Christian era. The discovery of the great temple to students of history is highly valuable, bearing out the glowing chronicles of the glory of the Egypt by Herodotus. It forms another refutation of recent historians who have accused him of inserting myths in his writings. When the digging began the capitals of two columns of the great palace were discovered. After a hundred expert diggers had spent three months in careful excavation a great hall of columns was unearthed, and the excavations were then carried down to the original soil. The temple must originally have been one of the glories of Egypt. In spite of the work or time, of sieges and other destructions, enough survives to show that it was a magnificent place. This temple in all its gorgeousness was described by Herodotus. A large inscription indicates that it may possibly be the temple of Set II., although at first it was supposed to have been erected by Menephite, son of Rameses II. SHE HAS "HYPNOTIC EYE." Lindsay (Cal.) Man Complains Against Wife. Lindsay, Cal.—Alleging that his wife, Mrs. Mary Perry has a "hymnotic eye" and that for the past year she has exercised a malign influence over him, Wesley E. Perry, a rancher, swore to a complaint for the arrest of Mrs. Perry and asked that she be detained at the county jail until an examination can be made into her mental condition. Mrs. Perry made a statement to the officers following her arrest, in which she declared her husband is "half insane" and that he, instead, should be locked up and examined by the county allenists. New Automobile Fuel. London.—Attention has been called in England to another new motor fuel called "natalite," for which excellent results and low price are claimed.

GIRL MAY SOLVE MYSTERIES OF MIND Science Gropes For Answer Child Plays With Dolls. Berkeley, Cal.-Is the case of Beatrice Willard, seven-year-old girl who rivals adults in mentality, another phenomenon of the ductless glands, which it has been proved may make giants or dwarfs out of men? Is there a mysterious ductless gland that controls the brain, making a giant in mentality of one person and a mental dwarf of another? These are the questions scientists at the University of California may be able to answer through the queer case of the little San Francisco girl now under the eyes of the college savants. The San Francisco girl, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Leon Willard, 2224 Baker street, spoke in sentences when ten months old, read and wrote at three years, at five years was reading Kipling and Stevenson and passed the Blnet mental test for a normal adult with remarkable ease. Dr. Henry Goddard, psychologist at the university, pronounces her case the most wonderful in his entire experience. The girl is normal in every respect except as to her mentality. At a glance she learns entire pages of print or manuscript, and, when not delving into the deepest subjects, plays "mother" to her dolls, romps with her playmates and is to all outward appearance a normal child of her age. "The child is a genius," says Dr. Frederic Burk of the San Jose Normal school. "She seems to learn with the greatest ease and has a photographic memory." Dr. Biddle's researches come under the scientific term "hemodenology." He has explained by experiments on the ductless glands how the thyroid gland influences physical growth or retrogression, how nervous force is affected by the glands and how by regulation of these glands it may be possible for science some day to make giants or dwarfs at will and perhaps solve the secret of everlasting life. Will the little girl the scientists are now experimenting with give the same clew to the inner workings of the mind? Will the brain of a Caesar or a Homer, a Loeb or a Metechnikoff be found to be duo entirely to the work of a microscopic gland? Science is groping for the answer. The little girl, playing with her dolls, refuses to worry about it. NEGROES LYNCHED Will Keep It up—No Mercy to Colored Women—American Law a Farse—Ashamed of False Prophets—White Man's Crave For Money—Fraudulent Billy Sundays, Beware of Them—Cowards Not Respected. (By J. C. Cunningham.) The letter of one G. W. Jenkins of Dublin, Ga., to the New York World, respecting the lynching of colored people in that state, is enough to set all friends of liberty to thinking. We haven't the space to reproduce the letter here, but copies of it will be found in The New York Age, under date of September 2. An editorial from The Jeffersonian, a paper published at Thomson, Ga., will be seen on the same page in The Age. That paper, after saying all the mean things it could think of against the colored women, winds up with the following: "Yes! we lynch negroes and what's more, we mean to keep it up." Now, notice. If you please, The Jeffersonian didn't say "They," the usual "unknown." lynch negroes, but it says, "we" lynch negroes, and what's more, "we" mean to keep it up, etc., etc. It makes our blood boil within us to note the fact that some of our Negro preachers, who pose as great evangelists, and want to be seen and heard of as "great race lovers," delight in being called the colored "Billy Sunday." It makes us feel ashamed to see these miserable creatures, those "false prophets" of whom our Lord Jesus tells us would come in His name, trying to follow in the foot steps, of a white man who is out and out for money, nothing more and nothing less, in the name of God. These negro preachers take the name "Billy Sunday," in order to draw large crowds of people to get a pocket full of money. But our Lord Jesus says, "Beware of them." They are simply forging the name of Jesus on the public to get easy, money, and they should be a stink to the nostrils of all Christian church goers. Yes, beware of these Black "Sam Jones," black "Billy Sundays," and all other "black devils" who come to us in the name of God to get money without working for it—beware of them! But we go back to this whole sale lynching of our men, women and children. Now, if these black lovers (?) of the race want to be known as following in the foot steps of some truly great white man, why don't they do something worthy to be called the "Black John Brown!" That's what we need and that's what we must have ere this whole sale lynching of our people is stopped. There is no use talking, the day is now at hand for the colored people to unite themselves together in order to protect the race against this wholesale lynching by lawless white murderers! The colored people are endeavoring to be a law-abiding people. They, for the last half a century, have been appealing to the authorities of the law in every state where these uncalled for lynchings and burning of colored men and women occur; but their appeals have been in vain. The colored people have been, and are still, a law-abiding people. But we fall to see the wis- DO YOUR OWN SHOPPING "Onyx" ONYX Hosiery Gives the BEST VALUE for Your Money Every Kind from Cotton to Silk, For Men, Women and Children Any Color and Style From 25c to $5.00 per pair Look for the Trade Mark! Sold by All Good Dealers. WHOLESALE Lord & Taylor NEW YORK dom in further keeping in violate, any law which is to your own eternal destruction. If a gang of lawless white men continue to violate the law by murdering the colored people, is it not a part of wisdom for the colored people to rise up and protect themselves? But, after all, it is not that the negro is so much the more law-abiding than any body else. He is simply a coward, pure and simple—that's all. He will fight to the last ditch for a flag which doesn't protect him, and yet he will stand up and see his wife and children slaughtered like sheep and he won't dare to raise his hand! Ah, but you say, it's law-abiding. I say it's cowardice! I believe in keeping the law—I have always endeavored to do that—but damn any law that bids me hold my peace when my wife and children are being torn from my breast. No body respects a coward. But bravery is greatly respected, and indeed honored by the entire world. Why the negro is being knocked about, and kicked about, and is no more respected than what he is today is, because he is divided, and is a moral coward! No other race of people on the face of God's green earth would stand for this whole sale lynching of their men and women, without raising hell, except the negro race. And the coward lynching murderers have need to congratulate themselves on finding such a timid race to prey upon. Away with such race lovers as the "Black Billy Sundays!" They haven't the interest of the race at heart. They are simply looking after themselves. The palms of their hands are daily itching for the pennies and dimes that they can fool out of the poor ignorant wash-women, cooks and widows, who even have little children to support. Have any one of them the spirit of John Brown in them? Why, no! There are many good white people who are opposed to the way the colored people are being treated, but they are doing but little, if anything, to help break up this lynching business which has increased to an alarming extent for the last few months. Colored men and women are being lynched on a mere frivolous suspicion. Even talking back to a white "gentlemen" has become a capital crime, in some sections of this country, against the colored race. How long will this terrible slaughtering of our people continue? Well, unless the authorities of the law put a stop to it, as they should do, the colored people will be forced to protect themselves against the unknown (?) murderers who are preying upon them like ravenous wolves. How can the colored 'people protect themselves, you ask? They haven't got anything. Well, no. Neither did Touissaint L'Ouverture have anything, but he had a will! A will that freed Hayti from a hell of slavery. There are, as we have stated a goodly number of law-abiding white men and women of this country who would be glad to see the lynchers wiped out of existence, and the courts and laws of the land respected. And to these the colored people say as did the man who was about to meet a bear. Have you heard the story? Well, it is this: A colored man was going along a road that had a high fence on either side, and just as he turned the corner he saw a big bear in front of him. There was no chance to get around meeting the bear, so, the man commenced to pray, "O, Lord, me and dat bear am gwine to meet. Lord, I have never called on you before, and if you will help me this time I will never call on you again. Lord, alwant you to help me. But if you won't help me, please don't help the bear, and you will see one of the darnest fights here that you ever saw in all yo' life." So, the colored people say to the law-abiding white people: We are going to break up this lynching of our men and women (if they violate the law, let the courts fix their punishment) and we call upon you to help us. But, if you won't help us, don't help the lynchers, and you will see one of the darnest fights you ever saw in all of your lives. Lynching, is absolutely unnecessary. It is un-American; it un-Christian; it is cruel. It belongs to a savage people of whom we claim no kin, and it is the duty of every Christian man and woman to use their influence—their voice and pen to put an end to it. Lynching must go! The sun must set on the reign of this hellish demon, some day, but may God forbid it's setting in a sea of flame and blood. HUMAN PLAGUES After a lapse of nearly a year a case of human plague occured in the city of New Orleans on the 27th of August. This case was confirmed as true bubonic plague on September 8th. The epidemiological investigations as to the exact source of the infection have not yet been completed but it is believed that it was probably received in the city of New Orleans. Up to date over 91,000 buildings in that city have been rat-proofed and over 435,000 rodents have been captured in traps alone. The occurrence of this case demonstrates the difficulties surrounding the eradication of the disease and in- CONSULT US FIRST ALL KINDS OF PRINTING Linotype Composition Electric Power Presses TRIANGLE PRINTING CO.

It also points out to other cities the necessity for ridding themselves of the rodent carriers of the disease and of thoroughly rat-proofing all of their buildings. No fear is felt that this case will be followed by an outbreak. Officials and men of the Public Health Service, well trained in the control of the disease, are on the ground and with the health authorities of the city of New Orleans are taking every precaution to prevent the spread of the disease from the city and within it.

THE JUDGMENT DAY PICTURED BY JESUS A Parable Applying to the Millennium World's Trial Will Last a Thousand Years—Co-operation With Christ In Raising the Dead—Two Classes Gradually Developed—Both Will Outwardly Keep God's Law—Selfishness the Controlling Principle With the Goat Class—Love the Controlling Principle With the Sheep—The Fire of Divine Anger Will Finally Destroy All Having the Spirit of Selfishness. New York, Sept. 19.—Pastor Russell, at the New York City Temple, W Old St., delivered a very interesting discourse today from the text, "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these My brethren, ye have done it unto Me." (Matthew 25:40.) He PASTOR RUSSELL This text of Scripture is generally misunderstood and misused. If one has not studied it in its collections, one would quite likely think that the Lord is referring to those who, have lived during the Gospel Age, but the context shows that He refers to those living in the Millennial Age. The principle, however, is helpful to us now. Whoever does a kindness for any one belonging to the Lord is counted by Him as having done it unto Himself. In the parable of the Sheep and the Goats we read, "When the Son of Man shall come in all His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then shall He sit upon the Throne of His glory; and before Him shall be gathered all nations"—people, not the Church. The Church will be with Him in His Throne. (Colossians 3:4.) Those spoken of here as gathered before the Throne will be the whole world of mankind. These are sometimes called Gentiles, meaning those not in covenant relationship with God. In the past God made a covenant with the nation of Israel alone. Therefore all other nations and peoples were outsiders. During this Gospel Age the Lord has made a covenant with the Church, through Christ, a special Covenant of Sacrifice, into which you and I are privileged to enter. The opportunity to make this Covenant of Sacrifice has been open throughout the Gospel Age; and all who come to God through that covenant are said to be Israelites indeed. -Galatians 3:8-16, 29. Our A refers, not to Christians, but to Gentiles—the peoples and nations, the world in general. Before Messiah's Throne shall be gathered all people, all nations. "And He shall separate them the one from the other, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats." It is not a class separation, but an individual one. Whoever, after trial, demonstrates that he is a goat will go over to the left hand; whoever proves himself to be a sheep will go to the right. The whole picture refers to the thousand years of the Messianic Reign. It is a picture of the world's judgment, the world's trial. The sole object of that Reign is to prive who will desire to be God's sheep, to come into His fold and have His Son as their Shepherd, and who will not come into harmony with Him, but will have a goat-like nature. Then Christ will deal with them accordingly. A Thousand Years of Separating Work. Gradually all the goats are gathered to the left hand, and all the sheep to the right hand. In figurative-language the Lord thus designates the place of disfavor and that of favor. These two classes will not be aware of the fact that they are going to the right or to the left, as the parable shows. Not until the conclusion of the trial do they find out where they stand. The question arises. In what way will the people have an opportunity of ministering to the Lord's birthrem during the Millennial Age? We note that the Apostles were in prison sometimes because of their service to the Lord and were ministered unto; and that some of the Lord's followers since have been in prison or in need of assistance; but that probably not very many have been in prison or hungry or naked. Presumably it has been so all down the Gospel Age. Hence it is difficult to see how this parable could have any reference to us. Now we see what the parable means, and this is the explanation: Throughout the Millennial Age The Messiah will be dealing with the world of mankind, the majority of whom are now in the great prison-house of death. The Apostle Paul, in speaking of the resurrection, says that the dead shall come forth "every map in his own order," or company, or class. They will not all come forth at once. The Church class will come forth first; then the Great Company class; and early in the new order of things will come forth the Ancient Worthles, who will be the earthly representatives of God's Kingdom. As Jesus said to some in His day, "Te shall see Abraham, Isane, Jacob and all the Prophets in the Kingdom of God." (Luke 13:28) They will be the human representatives of the Heavenly Kingdom, which will be invisible. Jesus said nothing about their seeing Himself. Neither did He say, "Ye shall see these My disciples in the Kingdom." He did say, however, "Yet a little while, and the world seeth Me no more." St. John tells us that the Church shall be like her Lord. (1 John 3:2.) If the world will not see Him, they will not see the Church; for the Church will be spirit beings, that cannot be seen. So we have these orders, at least: the Little Flock, the Great Company, the Ancient Worthies, and the world of mankind—every man in his own order." Jesus said, "The hour is coming when all that are in the graves shall hear the voice of the Son of God and they that hear shall live." John 5:25-29. As the world return from the tomb, our thought is that they will come back in answer to prayer, very much the same as did Luzarus. The Lord, you remember, said, "Where have ye held him?" Then He lifted up His eyes and prayed to the Father, after which He said, "Luzarus, come forth."—John 11:41-44. Ministering Into Millennial Brethren. We do not understand that in the Millennial Age the people will have power to command the dead to come forth from the tomb, but that our Lord Jesus will have that power. As He prayed for the restoration of Lazarus, not because of any service which Lazarus would do for Him, but because Lazarus was the brother of Martha and Mary, so we conceive that nearly all the world will come forth in answer to the prayers of their brothers, their sisters, their parents, children and friends. To illustrate: Suppose that you and I were of the Restitution class, and not of the Church class. Suppose that we were living down in the Millennial era, and that Restitution had progressed so far that the world was in good plenty of machinery for conducting affairs, more being produced than was needed, etc. Then the Lord would let us know, as a world, that we might have the privilege of co-operating with God, that we might join with Christ in the work of Restitution. We might say, "First of all, let us pray for father." We would not desire to have father get here and find that there was no place for him to eat or sleep or live; so we would make provision for him. Similarly, we would provide for mother and for other relatives. Each would thus be brought north, preparations being made to assist them when they should come back into life. This whole work of bringing mankind back into life will be God's work. It will be the work of the Lord Jesus Christ, the work of spirit beings, as God's agents. But human beings will be permitted to cooperate, through their interest in humanity. The "sheep" class of that Age will be those who will have the Lord's spirit; and as the Lord's purpose will be to bring people back from death, to teach them and to prepare them for eternal life, all the sheep will feel the same way. This they will do gaily, because they have a love for this work. They will be feeding, clothing and helping those whom they have gotten out of the prison-house of death. Their prayers will go out continually after those in prison. This explains the whole work of the Millennial Age, and shows how all the people will come into harmony with God. The Indifferent, Selfish Class The Indifferent, Selfish Class. But there will be some who will say, "I do not care so much about this matter. I would rather go automobiling than to care for these people." The 'sheep class will be busy working, working right along; but the goat class will be showing their selfish disposition. God does not purpose that any who are selfish shall have everlasting life. Selfishness came in as a result of sin. You and I were born selfish, and could not help it; but we have bet ter known a new. We are beginning to see God's way. All then in true sympathy with God and righteousness will be entangling love in their hearts. After the sheep class have provided for those already recovered from the prison-house of death, they will say, "Now let us ask for others to come back. Let us get back Uncle Jim." The others will say, "I do not see why we should bother about Uncle Jim. He was only a distant relative. He did not leave me anything when he died." But the one with the sheep-like disposition will say, "Poor old Uncle Jim! I shall try to give him a good welcome back. He will wonder that conditions are so changed. He never saw these things which we now have. When he died, he thought that he was going to Hell. This will be the greatest blessing he ever had." The Loving, Unselfish Class. Thus the sheep class will take their pleasure along the lines in which God and Christ will be taking their. Do you think that God, Christ and the Church will be running around Heaven in automobiles? The sheep class will say, in effect, "How can we cooperate with Christ in this work of blessing the world?" They may not realize it, but they will be developing a noble, Christlike character. They will be doing themselves good as well as those raised from the dead. At the close of the Age the Lord will say to the sheep class. "I was an hungered, and ye gave Me meent; I was thirsty, and ye gave Me drink; I was a stranger, and ye took Me in; naked, and ye clothed Me; slick and in prison, and ye visited Me"; for "inasmuch as ye did it unto one of the least of these, ye did it unto Me." You did not know it, but I was watching you. You are on My right hand—In my favor. The Father wishes you to have the Kingdom. God will not give one else the kingdom. He is not selfish, but is always considering what He can do for somebody else. All of His people must have His spirit. All mankind must eventually have the same spirit or they cannot get the earthly kingdom. The Heavenly Kingdom is for those of the Church who prove worthy. They will get it because they have the spirit of love; and those of the world who cultivate the Lord's spirit will receive the kingdom prepared for them from the foundation of the world. (Genesis 12:28) Christ's Kingdom was prepared from before the foundation of the world. Mankind's will be an eargly kingdom a Paradise world-wide So, dear friends, there is a little lesson here for us. We see in this parable God's disposition. It helps us to understand His mind. But you may say, "It is not natural for me to act so unselfishly." All the more need, then, for you to cultivate that spirit. The Lord is not looking for natural people, but for New Creatures, "But," you say, "in my case It would make a great difference; for my mind is not formed that way." We reply, "You must be transformed—formed over again. We are all wrong to start with. We must get out of the condition in which we were born."—Romans 12:1, 2 The Lord does not say that we must entirely transform our flesh. But He does say that we must transform our mind, our will. We must show Him that our mind is continually striving for these things which are good, kind, loving and generous. He will take note of what we are striving to do. The Everlasting Punishment of the Wicked. Lest we should be accused of neglecting a certain part of this parable, let me remind you how it reads. The goat class are to "go away into everlasting punishment." "I thought that you do not believe in everlasting punishment," says one. My dear brother, always believe in everything the Bible says. I believe in everlasting punishment. But what kind it will be is another matter. God says one thing, and some of our creeds have said another thing. Therefore you and ! it true to God, are giving up our creeds as unreliable, thoroughly unsound. The Bible says that the punishment will be death; and we believe the Bible. The creeds have it that everlasting death means everlasting dying, endless torture. So when the Bible speaks of everlasting death, some people have their heads so twisted that they make death mean life. At one time we had our heads badly twisted. We ran into all kinds of difficulties. I am glad that we are getting straightened out. We are able to reason more clearly and to understand the English language better. There is such a thing as everlasting death. When the goat class are remanded to death, they will become dead everlastingly. They will remain dead to all eternity. The Greek word kolavin, here rendered punishment, means to cut off, or to restrain by cutting off. The Lord will give mankind all the opportunities they wish to be selfish, to choose the wrong way. They will have the opportunities and blessings of the Millennial Age, as long as they will not outwardly violate the Law, as long as they will not injure somebody else. They will not be forced to help the dead. That work will be one of charity, of love. But unless they attain the spirit of love, they will not be fit for the kingdom; for God is Love. Whether on the spirit plane or in the Millennial Kingdom or in the everlasting kingdom of mankind upon the earth, no one shall continue except those who are in accordance with God. All others shall be everlastingly cut off from life. See Acts 3:23; Psalm 101:15; 37:9; 2 Thessalonians 1:9 Fire a Symbol of Destruction. Concerning the wicked, our parable says, "Depart, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the Devil and his angels." Fire always symbolizes destruction, and everlasting fire would mean an everlasting destruction. What about its being prepared for the Devil and his angels? I answer: The Devil is the father of lies, a murderer from the beginning, the one who "abode not in the-Truth." (John 8:44.) He has some assistants, "the angels that kept not their first estate" (Jude 6.) Instead of remaining holy angels, they became demons, associated under Satan. Their final penalty is to be quite appropriate for them—fire, the fire of God's anger, the fire of God's opposition. As fire destroys, so God's anger will destroy Satan and all in harmony with him. And because the god class of mankind manifest the spirit of Satan, the selfish spirit, contrary to the Divine spirit, they will be classed in with Satan and his angels; they will have their portion with Satan and the fallen spirits. They will all be destroyed in the Second Death. This will cleans, the Universe and leave everything pure. Not a sinner will be left in it. Thenceforth all will be governed by the spirit of love. The Lord Jesus Christ was tried; the Church, His Bride, is being tried; the Great Company will be tried, before being received into the Heavenly condition. In the days of Noah all the angels were tried. So all mankind will be tried during the thousand years of Messiah's Reign, and only the victors will go into the everlasting conditions. No wonder that the Revelator, prophesying of that glorious time, says, "Every creature in Heaven [the Church, the Great Company, the angels, the cherubim and seraphim], and on earth, and under the earth [those now in the tomb], heard I saying, Blessing, glory, honor and power be unto Him that sittteth upon the Throne, and unto the Lamb, forever and ever" "Praise the God of our salvation; Hosts on high, His power proclaim; Heaven and earth, and all creation, Land and earth, to His name." CHRIST'S OBEDIENCE AND HIS KINGSHIP Psalm 21—September 26. The Glory of Messiah's Kingdom—The Reward of His Obedience to Jehovah. The Destruction of His Foes a Necessity—Forty Years Into Millenium? "The king shall roy in Thy strength, O Jehovah, and in Thy salvation how greatly shall He rejoive."—Psalm 21:1. THE Jews took a practical view of the promised Kingdom of Messiah, in which they were to have a glorious place, and in which all nations were to be blessed. Two things they failed to realize: first; that a Redemption-price for Adam's sin must be provided before Adam and his race could be returned to Divine favor and everlasting life in Eden; second, that Messiah Himself, before having so great an exaltation as Jehovah purposed. must demonstrate His worthiness by humility, obedience, loyalty, even unto death. St. Paul points out that Jesus the Redeemer did this. (Philippians 2:S-11.) On this account God highly exalted our Lord, making Him partaker of the Divine nature and Inheritor of the greatest promises. Many who see this much fall to get the Scriptural declaration that God's the scriptural use purpose equally included a Church class as a Bride to Messiah—as sharer of His sufferings and trials, and as sharer of His exaltation and glory. Only when this is seen can we properly understand the delay in the establishment of the Kingdom. It has been delayed in or A der that the entire Church, foreordained of God, might be completed, tested, proved, glorified in the First Resurrection, and then inaugurated with Messiah as the Heavenly Kingdom. Many peculiar ideas prevail because of a failure to take the Scriptural proposition and because of a false theory that the Kingdom has already been set up in glory. Ridding our minds of these difficulties. Bible students now, discern Messiah's Kingdom near at hand. They are more and more realizing that the present terrible war is the beginning of a series of troubles which will wind up the existing order of things and inaugurate the New Dispensation of Messiah's Kingdom. Although it will be a spiritual Kingdom, no less so than Satan's kingdom of the present time, and the Father's Kingdom—invisible to men—nevertheless it will be a real Kingdom, exercising power and authority more completely than any earthly kingdom could, because not handicapped by human limitations and conditions. Moreover, the Bible indicates that the Ancient Worthles of the Jewish line will be resurrected to perfection, and in an earthly glory will become visible representatives to men of the glorified spiritual Christ, Head and Body. Our Lord emphasized this thought to the Jews, saying, "Ye shall see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and all the Prophets in the Kingdom." (Luke 13:28.) But respecting Himself He declared, "Yet a little while, and the world seeth Me no more." (John 14:19.) All will see Him, however, in the sense that eventually all the eyes of understanding will be opened, that all may see the light of the knowledge of Divine glory.—Revelation 17:1; Habakkuk 2:14. Messiab's Kingdom Begun. Many Bible students claim that, according to the prophecies, Messiah's Kingdom began in 1878. They claim that while its chief activities have been in respect to the Church—the harvesting of the wheat, the separating of the tares, etc.—nevertheless it has had a world-wide influence also, in that during this time God has been showing mankind invaluable mechanical and chemical secrets, which undoubtedly will increase in the near future, when the Messiah's Kingdom shall have been fully inaugurated, at the close of the great Time of Trouble, already beginning in Europe and Mexico. Amongst other indications of Kingdom influence in the world, Bible students point to the wonderful reform along the lines of intemperance. The wonderful wave of prohibition which has spread voluntarily over many of the States has been supplemented by the necessities of the war in foreign countries. We must not expect too much along these lines, however. We must expect more or less of reaction, especially in the case of so sudden a turn as the war brought upon Europeans. JOHN HENRY Indeed, evidence is not wanting that the first fervor of prohibition in Europe is reacting. We had similar experiences in America, but as a whole the The Man Christ encences in America, Jesus, but as a whole the world is moving onward. The movement against opium and other narcotics also tends in the right direction, as do the lessons being given respecting the terrible penalty of vice, as witnessed in the now well-recognized fact that syphilis stops brain development, and generally in a few years leads to insanity. While continuing to pray, "Thy Kingdom come," let us as God's consecrated people continue to labor in character preparation, that we may be found worthy of a place in that Kingdom.
