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. 23 WASHINGTON, D.C., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1915 ONE MAN'S POWER St. Luke's Member Condemns Procedure—Unconstitutional Act Criticised—Against the Administration Before They Left for Richmond—Startling Disclosures—A. B. Hughes Defends His Position. The Washington delegates to the St. Luke's 48th annual convention, before the purpose of ascertaining what was uppermost in the minds of the delegates. After much hesitancy on the part of the members, who are usually outspoken, Bro. F. D. Lee, in an effort to draw an expression, mentioned the fact that the Grand Council had cut the salaries of the deputies, and among them Sister Anderson. The discussion was on Bro. Barrett, the official "resolution," along with others, were asked to draft resolutions and present at a meeting, which would be later announced that we might choose between them which to present. Sister Collins, in her sweet and smiling way, said she was opposed to us going to Richmond with any resolutions at all. She thought we would get more by just going down there good and sad on account of Mrs. Walker's trouble. Just think of it, a body of supposed intelligent men and women elected to legislate for the safety and perpetuity of the St. Luke order going down to do nothing, and without a thought save getting something. I served notice then as clearly as I could that I was opposed to any such policy; that if there was a member in the delegation who subscribed to any such policy, he was doing his council, himself, and his race an unjustice by going down. I was as sorry for the calamity which had come upon our grand secretary as anyone, but I urged that we should do our duty just the same. I told the body that I would use my best endeavor to have enacted laws that would make safe the $104,000 belonging to the St. Luke order. I refused to admit that the secretary had anything to give—that the order belonged to her or any set of persons. Knowing that I would never be permitted to get my views, which were contrary to those of the grand secretary, be fore the body, I decided, after consulting with Mr. H. E. Barrett, to present and distribute the following circular: circular: A FEW QUESTIONS AND SUGGES GESTIONS FOR THOUGHTFUL DELEGATES. Why not give the Grand Secretary on assistant? an assistant. Who countersigns the Secretary- Treasurer's .check? Do you intelligent delegates think it is proper and safe to allow this very important mat- ten to remain longer unnoticed? ter Why not elect the Grand Chief for a term of four years, and require him to countersign all checks drawn by the Secretary? The Secretary Why is it necessary to have an Advisory Committee composed to six persons at $5 each per month, if we still have to pay a white auditor $50 per month to do their work? Why not pay the Grand Chief a stipulated salary for his services? Are you willing to concede, as many contend, that the Order should be run by one person? Do you man Order safe? Is a one-man- No. God is the only being that is Infinite wisdom and goodness, and even He is part of three—The Trinity. Can you remember the fate of a large negro order dominated by one man? Question. What is a one-man order? Answer. A one-man order is one in which all power or authority is given or usurped, or centered in one person. Is the St. Luke Order a one-man order? Almost. Who is the head of the St. Luke Order? Order: Who is head of the Juvenile De- partment? Who is president of the bank? Who is head of the Regalla Depar- ment? Who is editor of the Herald? Who is Secretary? Who is Treasurer? Answer. Mrs. Maggie L. Walker. Who makes the laws? The Grand Council. Who interprets the laws? Who interprets The Secretary and the Executive Board. Who executes the laws? The authority is assumed by the Secretary and Advisory Board. Who appoints deputies, correspond- ents, purchases machinery, creates, raises and cuts salaries? The Secretary? Will she live always? Would you allow another person the same latitude given our Most Excellent Secret- ary? Let us re-elect her but take the burden of the whole order from her shoulders by creating a head to the various departments of the Order. There never was and never will be another Maggie Walker to the St. Luke Order. Why is it necessary to fine a poor, weak, struggling Council or Juvenile circle $5 for failing to send a representative? Do you think it would be wrong for you to change that law? How much money has been illegally paid to Executive Board members serving as salaried deputies? Who is going to replace this money illegal-gold out? Let us pay all just claims, and stay out of court Why is it we have five members from Richmond on the Advisory Committee when the constitution provides only for four? videos you think it is right for us to pay out for auditing $600, when it can be done for $600? Let us stop the locks. Why not reorganize our deputy system; divide the field into districts, viz. northern, eastern, southern and western; put an able man or woman who can properly present the merits of our Order on each district, giving him authority to select his workers and manage affairs in his district? Why not appoint directors over the various branches or departments of our Order? It is too much work to be handled successfully by one person? This is not intended as an attack on Mrs. Walker. I am reelecting her as our Secretary if she so desires. We must stand by this our overburdened official. Observations by A. B. HUGHES. This article is not intended to argue the merits of the circular, nor is it intended as an answer to Mrs. M. L. Walker's attack; that will be done later on; but this is intended to as for as possible give the facts and correct the libelous statements which have been made about me with the seeming sanction of the St. Luke leaders here. I have until now paid little attention to the remarks, for they were made by a mere automaton, in his usual harmless way, for no ones takes him seriously;; but when Mrs. B. B. Anderson, our deputy, calls this mechanical man up to give the echo and allows him to publicly slander me I think it time to call a halt. Mr. M. E. Barnett, who materially assisted in the production of the circular with me, either from fear of bodily harm or hope of future reward from Richmond, has allowed the impression to go that he knew nothing of the circular. This action have caused the scales to fall from my eyes. I have worked with Dr. Garner and Mrs. B. B. Anderson in the past, and we have had our differences. I have been frank with them, and they know it. UPPER MARLBORO, MD. November 2. It is a lively time at Upper Marlboro today. The leading actor is Supervisor James F. Armstrong, who claims to hold the County School Commissioners in his hand. He made the declaration that Miss Florence M. Hunt, whom he had recommended for dismissal, had to go, that nothing in this world could save her. His chief lieutenant, Mr. Trotter, in whom the people of Fairmount Heights seem to have implicit confidence, went over to Armstrong against this most excellent teacher, Miss Hunt, who has the confidence and respect of the people. The teachers, with the permission of the Superintendent of Fairmount Heights, were out in force to stand by their companion, against whom charges and a recommendation for dismissal had been made by Prof. James F. Armstrong, the supervisor, Miss Cooper, a very pleasant and sweet dispositioned young teacher; De Veil one of the most accomplished teachers in Prince George's County. Wilks, the principal, a lady of ability and who seems to do her duty. At 11:30 a. m. the Board of County Commissioners stated its readiness to hear the charges that Prof. Armstrong preferred against Miss Hunt. Presiding was O. B. Zantzinger, president; Virginal N. Lawrence and Geo. P. McCenny. At the table were seated Messrs. Zantzinger, McCenny and Burroughs and John L. Russell, clerk. Mr. Robert Wills and Mr. James A. Cobb represented Miss F. M. Hunt. Mr. Armstrong conducted the prosecution. He called Miss Wills as his first witness, but she in no way corroborated his charges. She said with the exception of Miss Hunt being late or three times, she was an excellent teacher and that she knew nothing about the charges preferred by Armstrong and neither did she call him to make them. In Mr. Armstrong's charge he said that Miss Wills and the trustees agreed with him. Mr. Trotter, one of Mr. Armstrong's trustees, said that Miss Hunt caused friction, and when he was asked what friction or disturbance, she caused he cited one instance when Miss Hunt asked the board of trustees to meet at her residence because it was convenient to reach, to which they readily consented, and in that meeting Miss Hunt asked the trustees would they recommend to the school authorities to coy her more pay. On cross examination Mr. Trotter was asked if he had said to Editor Chase that Mr. Armstrong created the disturbance at Fairmount Helgite. He neither affirmed nor denied the question directly. The testimony of Mr. Trotter against Miss Hunt was a surprise to her friends, as well as to The Bee, because he has always spoken in the highest terms of Miss Hunt and Mr. Trotter has heretofore been regarded as one of the fairest members of the school board. No man has been held in higher esteem by the people of Fairmount Helgites than Mr. Trotter. At this junction the board took a recess until 1:15 for lunch. Reassembled. Mr. Armstrong then testified what he had been told and what he saw FRANK B. WILLIS. at Fairmount Heights school. He read a record from Dr. Lucy Moten, principal of the Washington Normal School, to bear out his contention, but this record did not prove Mr. Armstrong's charges in any particular. On cross examination Mr. Armstrong got mixed up on his figures and after he had charged an offense in his charges, he admitted he made a mistake and wanted to change. He was asked when he found out that Miss Hunt should be removed. A year ago and also this year. Mr. Wills read several extracts from The Bee, from Mr. Armstrong's correspondence, which were very complimentary to Miss Hunt. He regarded Miss Hunt as late as February as one of the most accomplished and one of the most competent teachers in Fairmount Heights. Several articles of this character were read to Mr. Armstrong, and when he was asked didn't he write them, his answer was that he wanted to see the originals. Mr. Wills insisted on an answer, but he finally got him to say that he would neither deny nor affirm that he did or did not write the articles praising Miss Hunt. He did admit that he wrote for The Bee a number of years. This concluded the testimony for the prosecution. Miss Hunt. Miss Florence M. Hunt, in an unassuming manner, took the stand and answered every allegation, concisely and minutely, and denied emphatically that she had ever in her life spoken disrespectful of Mr. Zantzinger, the chairman of the school board, or any one else, as was alleged in the charges of Mr. Armstrong. That her conduct at the Fairmount Heights school with the teachers was pleasant, that at no time has she ever said anything derogatory of Superintendent Burroughs, but on the contrary she was always glad to see her superintendent at her school. She spoke of one occasion, when Superintendent Burroughs called and how she greeted him and said that she was so glad called. Several questions were asked Miss Hunt by Mr. Zantzinger and Mr. Mcenny and her response seemed to be very satisfactory. After several other explanations, Miss Hunt concluded her testimony. Attorney Wells stated that he didn't think that he aught to take up any more time of the board, because Mr. Armstrong had not substantiated one of his charges, and if the board has any doubt every teacher at Fairmount Heights, will testify that their relations with Miss Hunt are most pleasant and her own principal testified that she is a most excellent teacher and at no time has she disobeyed the rules of the school and that her only offense is she got to school late on one or two occasions. I submit, remarked Attorney Wells, that she ought to be permitted to remain at her school. Chairman Zantzinger at this juncture asked that the board room be cleared. After ten minutes' consultation, Miss Hunt was requested to return as well as all of the witnesses, and Clerk Russel, a very pleasant and genial young man, read the decision of the board, which exonerated Miss Hunt of all charges and commended her for her past and pres ent good work in the Fairmount Heights. School and ordered that all teachers in the Fairmount Heights School, shall be in their rooms at 15 minutes before nine o'clock. Miss Hunt received the hearty congratulations of her friends. tions of her lifelong Mrs. Sedgwick, one of the leading citizens in Upper Marlboro, gave a luncheon to the Fairmount Heights teaches after the board adjourned for lupheon. Among those who were at the hearing in the interest of Miss Hunt were: Robert Wells, Esq., J. A. Cobb, Esq., Misses Cooper, De Vell, Wilgars; K. B. Maxfield of The Bee; Mr. James Coleman, Editor W. Calvin Chase, and James Hunt, father of Miss Hunt. At 3:40 the party boarded the train and indulged: Miss Gille Kibble and Miss Henry are doing good work in the Marlboro schools. Miss Henry is a pleasant, genial and successful teacher. Miss Kibble is popular with the people and Miss Henry says that she is doing good work. PROF.

Frank Coalman, formerly trustee of the Fairmount Public Schools, sent the following letter to the Board of School Commissioners of Prince George's County, Maryland, last week: The Honorable Board of School Commissioners of Prince George's County, Maryland, Md., Upper Marlboro, Md. Gentlemen: Gentlemen: I have the honor to file with you for your consideration the following charges against Mr. James F. Armstrong, Supervisor of Colored Schools, Prince George's County, Maryland: That he approached Victoria Floyd, minor and my ward, and endeavored to persuade her to teach a school at or near Surrattville, Md., at a salary of $25.00 per month. He has made this promise to her three times within the last thirty days, and by his becoming more and more persistent and persuasive, she reported the matter to her aunt, who is' my wife. Mr. Armstrong is fully cognizant that Victoria is attending school daily at Washington, and will not graduate until June, 1916, and that I am legally obligated to send her to school until she is of legal age; also to shelter, feed, clothe and care for her in every way, as I am her guardian by virtue of an order of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia; yet he will persist in persuading her to quit school against my will and without consulting me or my wife. On October 10, 1915 (Sunday), when Victoria was en route to the M. E. Church, which is about 300 feet from my home, Mr. Armstrong stopped and detained the girl by engaging her in a lengthy conversation to persuade her not to finish her education as my wife and I desire her to do, but to teach a school under his supervision. I, in company with Mr. Robert E. Lee, a visitor at my home, saw and heard him pleading with Victoria. I called Mr. Armstrong and engaged him in the following colloquy: Coalman. "Mr. Armstrong, please let that child go on to church, and don't hold her up in the streets." Armstrong, "I am not holding her up; she is holding me up." up; she is not holding you or anyone Coalman. "I don't want you or anyone else to hold her up in the streets in that manner. Let her alone." Armstrong, "Well, I guess I can-talk to her. She is free." Coalman. "I don't want you to talk to that child. Let her alone." Armstrong, "I don't care what you say. I will talk to her." Now, gentlemen, my objection to the action of Mr. Armstrong is to because I have strong reason to believe that it means to destroy the well laid plans for Victoria's future which I have laid out at a very greer sacrifice of time, labor, and money, and I feel that it was his first duty to have consulted me relative to the girl before taking the steps that he did; and his failure to do so is merely a repetition of the many acts and deeds as a school official that he has heretofore committed in this community, by taking advantage of his position as Supervisor of Colored Schools. Therefore, my long forbearance and patience have ceased to be a virtue, and I hearby appeal to you, gentlemen, for redress. Very respectfully. FRANK. COALMAN. Guardian. Address: P. O. Box 222, Station — Bennings, D. C. MR. MAXFIELD. Director Ralph Reappoints Him To a Responsible Position. Mr. M. C. Maxfield, who was seriously injured two years ago at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing while handling money, and who, has been on leave since that time, was reappointed by Director Ralph this week to one of the most responsible positions in the bureau. For thirty years or more Mr. Maxfield has been one of the most faithful and one of the most honest employees in the bureau. Billions of dollars have been handled by him and not a dollar has ever been lost. He is now appointed to the division where all the finished money is. In reappointing Mr. Maxfield Director Ralph commended him in the highest manner. GOSPEL TREAT. At Emanuel Baptist Church, Garfield, D. C. At 11 o'clock a. m., Sunday last, Rev. Jesse A. Taylor, Pastor of the Emanuel Baptist Church, Garfield, D. C., commenced a series of interesting meetings which will continue for ten days. These meetings are entitled the "Literary and Gospel Treat," and are intended to cover a wide field of topics. At the morning services, Sunday last, the pastor discussed "The Importance of Natural Science." The program of exercises in the afternoon was as follows: Address: Capt, Thomas W. Anderson. Poem, Madam Polly Qwann. Vocal solo, Prof, William Weems. Address, "How to Keep Well," Dr. Joseph E. Dyer. Evening program: Welcome, Address, Miss Rosa Chase, student of M. H. High School.

The addresses of Captain Anderson and Dr. Dyer were especially thoughtful and interesting. While the former's discussion was mostly historical and reminiscent, that of the latter teemed with important facts relative to sanitation and how to keep well Dr. Dyer is a product of Emanuel Baptist Church, and is highly respected as a physician and citizen of Garfield. and today evening last Rev. M. W. Travers, ex-presiding elder of the A.M. E. Church, preached and impressive sermon. The community is greatly interested in this "Gospel Treat," and from all indications many souls will be saved before the expiration of the ten day's service. CHAS. H. ANDERSON CHAS. H. ANDERSON ANDERSON GETS BIG JOB AS GOVERNOR'S FIRST APPPOINTMENT. Famous Ex-Internal Revenue Collector and State Republican Leader Given $4,000- Position—As Supervising Agent of State Agricultural Department Brilliant Official Will Supervise Inspection of State's Milk and Dairy Production. From The New York News. Albany, N. Y., Oct. 26—Chas. W. Anderson, ex-Collector of Internal Revenue for the Second District of New York and the recognized Republican leader of his race in the State, if not in the Nation, was appointed here last Friday by State Commissioner of Agriculture Chas. S. Wilson to be supervising agent of the department at $4,000 a year. The appointment was made at the request of Governor Chas. S. Witman, the first recognition in the way of appointment to permanent office which the Governor has made of the race up to date. Mr. Anderson's tenure of office is for the term of his superior, which is four years. As supervising agent of the Agricultural Department, Mr. Anderson will bring to the office, in addition to his wonderful natural adaptability, special fitness and experience gained as Collector of Internal Revenue. He will supervise the inspection / of the farm and dairy production / of the State. It will be his duty to see to it that the public health is protected from the adulterations and diseases coming from agricultural products. He will protect the farmers through the bonding and regulation otherwise of commission merchants. The posi- 1910 ton covers a vast area, calling for great executive ability and discretionary power, such as Collector Anderson possesses. The appointment has been hanging fire for many months, the News can authoritatively say, and may in no wise, be considered a pre-election catch-vote appointment. Governor Whitman and Collector Anderson have been intimate friends for a score of years, from the time when both were ward leaders. In addition to this appointment, the Governor has in mind, it is said, the substantial recognition in the very near future of three or four other qualified colored Republicans. There has been growing feeling of disappointment in Governor Whitman by his hosts of colored admirers throughout the country because of his failure to reapaint some colored men, especially in view of their services to him and the disastrous antiface policy of the Woodrow-Wilson administration. But since the appointment of the widely popular. Collector has become known he has been delegated with congratulations from both races all over the country. It was a master stroke for the Governor. It has gone a long way toward winning back his legions of colored friends. To Aid Rural Teachers in South. To assist teachers in southern rural schools in making their courses of study fit more closely with the farm and home interest of the children, the United States Department of Agriculture will shortly publish a professional paper, "Exercises with Plants and Animals for Southern Rural Schools." This bulletin, No. 305, is in no sense a text-book, but is designed merely to be a guide for the teacher. It provides work in studying and observing plants and animals for each of the first five grades. The subjects to be studied by the pupils under the direction of the teacher are arranged by months in such a way that the subject matter may be studied at the time of the year when it is most interesting to the children. Some of the work suggested is to be done in the classroom, but much of it is arranged for field trips by the class. In formulating the exercises the author had in mind increasing the interest of the children in their regular lessons, as well as in the activities in their homes, and training them in outdoor observation by having them study ordinary seeds, plants, insects, and animals carefully under the teacher's guidance. In this way the children are led to discover for themselves much of the interest and value in nature that escapes the casual observer. PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS (By the Sage of the Potomac). I see my friend Jim Curtis, who made goo-goo eyes at that Minister to Haiti job when Woody blein, and later took a shy at the job Charley Anderson filled, and then some time later looked longingly on the Recorder of Deeds job here, has finally landed a plum—Minster to Liberia. Woody is a queer, customer, and I guess there is some method in his madness. The only job he will give one of us anteluvian charcoal misconceptions is a job in some fever-infested country where a fellow is got just about one chance in fifty to live. Come to think of it, just five Ministers to Liberia have either turned up their toes to old man Death in that junglecountry, or come back to this country so full of deadly malaria that all the wild-cat whisky distilled in Link Johnson's state couldn't drive it out. Take J. Milton Turner. Now, my esteemed and talented J. Milton never saw a day after he left the jungles of Liberia. I been tryin' to figure out, ever since I heard that Doc Artie Curtis' kid brother landed the Liberia ministership, what he wants to play a championship game with Death for. If Champions is just tired of living, and wants to quit this vale of tears and take a plunge into eternity, the quickest and easiest way is to send over to his brother Doc, and ask him to send him a fair size dose of some kill-quick drug, or go auto riding with little Lord Fauntelroy. Jim Curtis sure has my sympathies, and I've already begun to save up my pennies to buy flowers for his funeral when they ship him back to this country in one of them wooden boxes what my friend. Middletown, the undertaker, calls a "coffin." When Jim sails for the sleeping-fever zone of Liberia, I'm going to begin singing that familiar old ballad, "Farewell, my love, cause I know its a Death-dip you're makin'." Doc Curtis, when he heard the news, said, "Deathaint no respector of persons; he don't even respect the Curtises." I see Ella Flagg Young has signified that job of superintending the schools of Chicago. Ella reminds me so much of Roscoe—she is different. Now Roscoe won't resign unless the Board of Education just arbitrarily stopped his pay. Up in Calicago they got into the habit of thundering assorted bouquets of criticism at Ella every other day, and she just got tired and quit. And she was some superintendent. too, let me promise you. Here in Washington we've been throwing assorted bouquets of criticism, clubs, stones, gossip, and even scandal at Roscoe for about eight or nine years, and he just don't seem to hear it, and goes on making a noise like he is being praised. I sure do wish, for the sake of harmony, that Ella Flagg Young had been the assistant superintendent of these Hamite schools of ours, and Roscoe, the champion chaffer, was superintendent of the schools of Chicago. But, alas, it was ever thus; from my childhood days I've seen my fondest hopes decay. I never loved a tree or flower. what it was the first to die and fade away. And I never want an assistant superintendent to fly the coop but what he stayed on the nest and continued to try to hatch. Some time, mebe, hy-and-by Roscoe will read what Ella Flagg Young did, and then just quietly go off and do likewise. Some times disaster follows faster and faster, and some times a bad penny can't be passed on nobody. We here in this government-ruled town are merely doing the "watchful waiting" act. By the way, Dlek Thompson had it doped out, four months ago that Roscoe was as good as canned. Where does Dlek get his spurm-oil dope from? Come on, Dlek, with another assortment of dope that will be nearly as reliable as a weather prognostication. Harry Reynolds once told me that the size of a man's hat isn't no indication of the stuff what's in his ivory dome. I got to thinking over Harry's philosophy when dining on a giblet stew down at Dell Washington's the other day. A pair of Kings of Spades and a couple of Queens of Clubs were spoiling a mess of fish, and incidentally a few highballs and bottles of beer, at the table across from me. During the conversation one of them there Kings of Spades remarked that 'this fall' is one of the most incongruously pleasant falls I ever saw'. Up to that time I had just naturally set him down as a rather likely fellow, for he did sure look the part. He was dressed neat, had a fine shaped head, a complexion what indicated that "Old Massa", at some remote period, had taken a liking to one of his women slaves, and his hair was that stuff what they say "floats on the pillow". Well, sire, he looked about as intelligent as Jim Cobb when Jim makes a legal argument before the Muclage Club, and I really thought the fellow.was "mixed pickles". But when he got off that junk about a "most incongruously pleasant falls I ever saw". I at once said that Harry Reynolds was the greatest philosopher around these parts, for it was Harry what got off that dope about "the size of a fellow's hat' ain't no indication of the stuff what's in his ivory dome." But come to think of it, a fellow what runs with Wash Woods as much as Harry does couldn't be anything but a bang-up philosopher. Lafe Hershaw sure was a busy man with that pageant. Lafe: is one of the busiest men we've got not to get any reward. I've always thought that Lafe is one man who if he just packed his little carpet bag and bag the trail for some city in the States, he would be recognized, and he'd be a big potato in the hill. Around here, where there are so many self-believed big men, a fellow what's really got the goods-has got but a little chance to move out into the king row. I've always sort of like Lafe Hershaw, and while I've frequently disagreed with him, I've felt that Georgia didn't know what she was doing when she picked Link Johnson for that Recorder job and left Hershaw to waste his sweetness on the desert air, trying to make ends meet holding down a $1400 or $1600 job. Yes, Lafe Hershaw is some brams." Brother Miles Maxfield insists that we tar-coated prospects ought to go by the name of "Hamites," and in order to prove it, makes a center-rush on the Bible for evidence, and further, in order to perfectly impress it upon us he hits the trail of the muse, and dishes his "dementia-Americans" up in poetry. Now Miles can call himself a Ham all he please, but Brother Bill Chase and I have got it figured out that a fellow who monkeys with poetry is a Ham from the start, while those of us who just "cavel" along with prose are just plain, everyday Americans, with no "Negro," "Colored" or "Hamite" atachments. We've been trying to figure it out, both by phycology deductions, and geometrical progression, what ever started my old friend and Hero of Mundy's Lane, Miles Maxfield, to writing poetry, or to be more exactly trying to write it. I've heard Miles down at the Bethel talkfeasts, get up and grab "Old Glory" and wave her up to the breezes; I've heard him, up among the dimmed stars of oratory, and I've heard him stars of the audience like a Jobe hurling a bunch of lightening, and I thought he was sure some pumpkin. But when my old friend got to boosting that "Hamite" ston on unsuspecting public, and began to deal in some spurious verses in which he assumes poetical 'lisence whenever he wants to, to rhyme "sodawater" with "gliphiz," I just made up my mind that I was going to call his hand even if I had only air of dirty deuces to do it with now Miles, if you are a "Hamite," one off and ham it to your everlast' 't content, but don't come glivhase and I the dope that "Hamite" is correct for we folks what come is sorted colors. When you convince Booker T. that he ought to disard his Negro with a Capital "Nud substitute Hamite for it. I'll be vee you, and make a rush to have our poetry copyrighted. You heane, Miles? FALLS CHURCH, VA. torney Jones Makes a Fight. The colored citizens of Falls Church are making a determined fight to embarrass the efforts of the town council to put in effect a "segregation" measure similar to ones in force in Baltimore, Richmond and other towns and cities. Before the people generally were aware of the intent of certain prejudiced southerners who were actuated by reason of progress made by the colored people in the town and environs. A measure intended to prevent colored people securing homes in white residential districts was introduced and passed in the council. This matter was brought to the attention of Colored citizens and several met at the home of Mr. E. B. Henderson and plans were laid to protest and fight against the measure. So much surprised were the councilmen that the colored citizens should object, that the action of the former meeting was rescinded and after the resignation of a member and protestation on the part of other friends of the race, a new measure was passed. The act is so palpably lacking in accordance with the provisions of the Virginia Assembly enabling act that this committee of citizens after meeting with others in the community, determined to test the legality of the Falls Church interpretation of the act. The Colored Citizens Protective League" was organized, with officers as follows: Executive Board—Joseph B. Tinner, president; Rev. John Colbert, vice president; Edwin B. Henderson, secretary; R. F. D., Falls Church, Va.; Lewis Summerall, assistant secretary; Rev. George W. Pewell, treasurer; Melvin M. Tinner, Robert J. Evans, George W. Simmons and William A. Carpenter. The services of Lawyer Thomas L. Jones of Washington were secured. The Town council was first approached with a legal protest and then lawyer. Jones and his associate lawyer, Oliver, of Fairfax Courthouse, presented a petition of correction to the Circuit Court, Judge Thornton, presiding. This court has ordered the town council of Falls Church to show cause at the November term of the Court why the reasons complained of should not be corrected. This activity has caused an alignment of colored people as nothing else before has done, and it is predicted that the effort will mean much to general community uplift. A number of the members of the League are known in Washington. Messrs. Edwin Henderson, Garnet C. Wilkinson, Samuel E. Compton, Joseph B. Tilner, Ployd Evans, Robert J. Evans, Reverend George. Powell, Reverend John Colbert, George W. Simmons, William Henderson, Charles Henderson. Reverend Barnett are among the members known locally. FAIRMOUNT HEIGHTS. Mrs. Woodworth, wife of Trustee Woodworth, is dead. She was buried from St. Augustine's church. Mrs. Woodworth was a well known and beloved citizen. There is excitement in the Fairmount schools. James F. Armstrong, the supervisor, has preferred charges against one of the best teachers in the corps, and demanded her dismissal. The case will come up at Mariboro, November 3. This teacher is from one of the leading families in the State, highly connected, and progressive. There is no teacher in the corps any better qualified or any more competent. Mr. Frank Coalman, formerly a trustee of the Fairmount Helghts schools and popularly known as the teachers' friend in Prince George's county, Md., has preferred charges against James F. Armstrong. The Fairmount school troubles will be thoroughly alred at Mariboro, Md., next month. Many citizens and friends in Prince George's county and elsewhere are rallying to the support of the teacher and Mr. Coalman. The sympathy of the citizens of Fairmount Heights is extended to Mr. Plummer on the death of his noble mother. Dr. Booker T. Washington Makes This Report to His Trustees—A Destructive Fire. Necessitates More Money—Great Work Done at This Institution. Gratifying progress along all lines in spite of the hard conditions in the south during the past year, and in the face of a destructive fire at the institution, is indicated in the annual report just issued by the principal, Dr. Booker T. Washington, to the trustees of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute. The report is for the year ending May 31, 1915. "During the past year this part of the south," writes Dr. Washington, in part, "especially the cotton-growing section, has been passing through one of the most trying experiences since the civil-war. Conditions have been serious among both white and black people. The institution has been doing an unusual amount of work in trying to teach the people' how to overcome them by planting something to eat. I have devoted considerable time both in the state of Alabama and in other portions of the south in urging the negro people to diversify their crops and get away from the hard conditions always to be expected when a race or section is more or less dependent on one crop for its sustenance." Tuskegee has never passed through a year when so much interest in what it is trying to accomplish has been manifested by tae white people of the south, accordin, to the principal, and individuals rep senting nearly every part of that section are constantly visiting the school. Only a few weeks ago there was h ld on its grounds a meeting of the iniversity commission, composed of a member of the faculty of each of the state universities of the south. National Healthl. Week Promoted. A matter given special emphasis by Dr. Washington as an illustration of the work done, by the school away from its grounds is the promotion, jointly with Hampton Institute, of a national "health week" in order to bring about better health conditions among: the ten milions of the colored race. Although conditions in Europe just preceding the opening of the school term led those in charge to fear a great falling off in attendance, this, happily, did not materialize. The term began with an enrollment in excess of September, 1913, and the total enrollment of the year has been about the same for the previous season. There are 907 boys and 630 girls, representing thirty-two states and territories and nineteen foreign countries and colonies. This does not include the 200 in the practice school, called the "Children's Home." "Through our extension department," says the report, "we have been aiding this year, as last, in building rural schools, the people themselves contributing a certain amount of money. We hope during the present year to build and equip at least 100 school-houses throughout the south." New trustees elected to the board, of which Seth Loh, of New York, is chairman, are George McAneny, president of the board of aldermen of New York city; Edgar A Bancroft, general counsel of the International Harvester Company, of Chicago, and Rey, Alexander Mann, rector of Trinity Church, Boston. The largest and most important single piece of work ever done on the school grounds—the central heating plant—says Dr. Washington, is well on its way toward completion. This plant includes power distribution, rewiring of buildings, building for new power plant, boilers, chimney, engines, generators, electric wiring, transformers, power piping, steam conduits, sewerage system and disposal plant, ice plant, cold storage plant and railroad extension. The principal calls attention to the importance of making provision for the completion of the cold storage plant and sewerage system. Among gifts mentioned is the donation by C. B. Cottrell & Sons' Company, of Westerly, R. I., and Chicago, Il., of a four-roller, two-revolution printing press to the school printing plant. This press, says Dr. Washington, supplies a genuine and long-felt want. In order to overcome the difficulty experienced by graduates in acquiring farms which they may work, William G. Wilcox, one of the trustees, and a number of other friends of the school, have purchased 1,800 acres of land nine miles from Tuskogee, and are giving opportunity to a selected number of alumni to purchase forty-acre tracts thereof on a long-time plan of payment. Already nine families have settled on this tract. School Has Heavy Fire Loss. "Since my last report we have experienced the most disastrous fire in the history of the school" says the report. "The burning of a portion of our horse barn caused a money loss of $11,432 and the loss of twenty-eight animals. We have received from insurance on both $6,312, leaving the net loss $5,120." The trustees, states the principal, allowed a budget for expenses and improvements of $288,303. The budget for current expenses was overspent, but that for improvements was underspent, the net overexpenditure being $7,402. This overexpenditure is due not to carelessness, says Dr. Washington, but to the fact that a large proportion of the school's industrial and extension operations are of such a nature as to prevent definite estimates of cost. The gifts to the endowment fund for the year amounted to $28,102, making the total fund stand at $1,970,214. "Some of our present and most urgent needs," concludes the report, "are the following: $1,200 for permanent scholarships, $2,000 each for four teachers' cottages, $40,000 for building for religious proposes, $16,000 to complete the boys' trade building, $50,000 for a boys' dormitory, and the same sum for a girls' dormitory. Special needs include horse and cow barns, silos, piggy house, feed and supply house, poultry houses, and a meat house." THE SUBSCRIBER. How dear to our heart is the steady subscriber. Who pays in advance at the birth of each year. Who lays down the money and does it quite gladly. And cast round the office a halo of cheer. He never says, "Stop it; I cannot afford it. I’m getting more journals than now I can read." But always says, "Send it; all readers like it— In fact we all think it a help and a need." How welcome his check when it reaches our sanctum. How it makes our pulse throb; how how it makes our hearts dance. We outwardly thank him; we inwardly bless him— The steady subscriber who pays in advance.—Exchange. Q. What specie of animals are they? Batchelors are the unfortunates (?) left outside when the wise (?) men rushed into the matrimonial market. Q. Why are they mostly bald? A. They lose their hair sometime from standing under the strong lights in the pool rooms on 14th street, others from hatching up different schemes to make some soft woman think they would "love to be married if they could find somebody." Then some are bald from actual age. Q. Why do they fear marriage? A. The object lessons around them is sufficient; the weaklings who cannot remain out after 10:45 at the longest, the tales of midnight chastisements, accusations and oftimes corporal punishment make them pause, even on the threshold of that blissful state. A. Oh yes, many of them are in a class to themselves and haven't found a woman quite as pure (?) as they are. You see what a mistake he might make to meet a woman of 30 years say, how can he know her last 29 years have been as pure as his spotless life. Q. Could you name a few Wash-Batch? A. Oh yes, but we wont, how about that one who dyes his hair? and the other big fellow who uses talcum so lavishly? to say nothing of our tall slim one who has been going to marry so often. Oh they are all right fellows; they steer clear of danger, and if you are jealous, old married man, it is too late now so don't criticise the Washington Batchelors. By ANNIE LAMICE LUCAS By request.

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.

"Give the Negro his right name, Hamite, Which he had when the Bible was written; This name in truth covers all mixtures in Ham's descendents, and is much better fitted. 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. The word Negro in Spanish means any black thing; Hamite-Americans are descendents of Ethiopians, Egyptians, Hamites, and Kings. The word Negro in Spanish means black; Its origin is in the Spanish language about eight centuries back. The Blacks, like other people, talk, work and sing; Why not use the name which leads to their noble ancestry with no degrading sting. The word Negro for all Colored Americans is not a name in truth; Let Hamite-Americans think and remove all degrading words of stigma in their youth. God said, Let us make man; He loved all colors in His plan. Our own American land, the best and first, Here the Blacks are hated worst. 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. The Blacks are at the mercy of the mob; Many evil spirits have done the cruel job. Black United States citizens have rights even in the States; They should be protected wherever the white man hates. The South will not give us a fair vote, But we have great hope in our Supreme Court. Give the Blacks a god and fair chance, And our country's glory they will always enhance. 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. Why hate your own Colored brothers and cause a world of shame. 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 by the Colored Volunteer. When attacked by any foreign foe, We will need the Blacks as of yore. The Blacks led the van of civilization in the splendors of ancient yore, And with God and grace they may become as they were once before. Sin and idolatry caused their mighty fall, But the Blacks are-rising fast to hear God's loving call. ROBERT ALLEN Buffet and Family Liquor Store Phone North 2340 1917 14th Street, N. W.

CALVIN CHASE, EDITOR Entered at the Post Office at Washington, D. C., as second-class mail matter. ESTABLISHED 1880 TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION. PHILADELPHIA HOUSE. The refusal of the Exeise Board to grant license to the Philadelphia House because certain classes of females who have been run out of certain sections of the city was one of the most filmsy excuses that could be entertained. Certainly the testimony that was given before the Board didn't warrant the refusal of license to this old landmark. This house is one of the oldest in Washington, and one of the most respectable. Two hundred and seventy-one more licenses were granted, and only three were given to colored citizens. The Board is the most inconsistent that has ever existed in the Capital of the nation. Here is a sample of the testimony given for and against the Philadelphia House. Certain disrespectable women visit the house, as well as respectable people; a man lost a watch and bracelet, but discovered by the proprietor, women meet men there, and the last one, a woman, was seen drinking beer without meals. Every charge was controverted by strong evidence, and especially by the woman who accompanied this female to the house, who testified that both of them gave orders of potato salad and ham sandwiches, for which twenty-five cents each were paid. Nothing could be said against the morals or the integrity of John Edelin; the captain if the Sixth precinct could say nothing against the proprietor. Now, why was the license of this house rejected? Licenses were rejected that should have been granted according to the contention of the Anti-Saloon League. Not a club conducted by white men was closed, and yet many of them, contended Attorney Shoemaker, were in residential sections of the city. CAPTAIN OYSTER. The Bee can never lose its respect for and confidence in a man who has always shown and demonstrated his loyalty towards the colored citizens in this city, and their welfare. While The Bee has not agreed with many things that have been fathered by the subject of this editorial, it must admit that he has always endeavored to deal fairly and justly towards the masses of colored citizens and their children regardless of conditions. He has never discriminated against them, but has at all times done his duty as he saw it for their welfare. Like all public officials, he may have made mistakes. But who among us has not make mistakes? The Bee hopes to see the day when he is placed as one of the rulers of this government—the position to which he was nominated by ex-President Taft. He is one man that would recognize men regardless of color or condition. It is believed, and The Bee has often said, that Captain James F. Oyster could receive the suffrage of the people, the colored people, especially—if we had an elective government. While President of the Board of Education no man tried more to advance the progress of our schools than Captain Oyster. No man was more loyal to those who tried to do their duty than he. Because a man makes one mistake he should not be condemned. We should remember the good that he has done heretofore. There has never been a man on the Board of Education any more interested in the success and welfare of the colored schools than Captain Oyster. He has done much for them all. He has taken the same interest in the colored schools as he did in the white schools. Let us hope that the day may soon come when his ability and worth as a man and a citizen will be recognized. SEVENTH STREET RAID. In the unjust and unjustifiable arrests of colored citizens a few weeks ago on Seventh street northwest by the police department, there was one man who came to the rescue and defense of the colored citizens. It was plainly shown that these colored citizens committed no offense whatever. They were orderly, and there was nothing in their deportment that would warrant an arrest. This raid and arrests must have been diabolical to cause the indignation of the leading business men in the neighborhood to register their protest and condemnation. Dr. Goldsmith, No. 1200 Seventh street northwest, was among the first in the neighborhood to raise his voice and denounce those arrests as outrageous and unjustifiable. Many citizens were walking quietly and and slowly up and down Seventh street observing the displays in the several windows that presented such a beautiful appearance, and to their surprise and disgust the so-called guardians of peace placed them under arrest, and carried them to the stationhouse, where they were forced to deposit from one to two dollars. Now, what charge was placed against them? They were not disorderly. They were not obstructing the sidewalks. It was a promenade of respectable colored citizens on a business street at a reasonable hour of the evening. The Bee commends Dr. Goldsmith because he was the first citizen to come to the defense of colored citizens who had been grossly insulted and placed under arrest. The colored people in the neighborhood and elsewhere should not fail to show their appreciation and gratitude. HYPHENATED! "To hell with the hyphen," declared Colonel Roosevelt in an address to an audience of hyphenated Americans. That was a high power and emphatic expression, but it was timely. The vast horde of foreigners who have America their asylum from oppression, and have enjoyed our free institutions needed such a prodding to test their patriotism to their adopted country. The hyphenated negro cannot escape criticism. For years a suffering public have read of him. Every wind-broken revivalist to draw a crowd is a Black-Moody; every screaming soloist is a Black-Jenny Lind; every dragfoot actor is a Black-Booth; every metallic-voiced elocutionist is a Black-Bernhardt; every slapstick minstrel is a Black-Dockstader; and every slang acrobatic preacher is a Black-Billy Sunday. Let the negro cut out the hyphen. The public will appreciate his worth without the hyphen. ECHO MEETING. On Tuesday, November 2, the Y. P. S. C. E. of the Third Baptist church, held its Echo meeting of the fifth World's and twenty-seventh International Convention of Christian Endeavor held in the Coliseum, Chicago, July 6 to 12, inclusive. The large audience was appreciated and was quickly emubed with the spirit of Christian Endeavor enthusiasm radiating from the delagates and the society members. The splendid programme was arranged by Mrs. Rebecca J. Gray, the society's delegate to the convention. The galleries and walls of the main auditorium were gay with United States flags and Christian Endeavor banners, while flowers and autumn leaves in profusion were banked about the mulitp. Mrs. Gray's report on the convention was interesting and comprehensive, and included a resume of each day's session, carrying the audience with her to that best of all Christian Endeavor Conventions. In this she was ably assisted by delegates of other societies who, in their great addresses, covered other phases of the Convention work. A splendid feature of the meeting was the reproduction in miniature of the Convention Junior parade. The Juniors of the church, some of whom were dressed to represent children of foreign lands, marched from the vestry and down the isle of the Auditorium to the front of the church where they sang the Juni-r-Songs and gave the Junior Yell, after which they led the audience in singing, "Stand Up, Stand Up for Jesus," Leading the procession was five-year old Master Bonton Milton, who made an ideal Uncle Sam. Some of the Christian music was reproduced by the Christian Endeavor Chorus, under the leadership of Mr. Luke Reynolds. The rendition of the efficient Convention song, "Blessed Redeemer" Miss Elsie Alston soloist, was roundly applauded, and the audience would not be satisfied until it was repeated. At the close of the meeting all were invited to the vestry where a plentiful repast of salad, crackers, cocoa, cream and cake were served by the ushers of the church. A table, made beautiful with flowers and autumn leaves, had been laid in one end of the room for the pastors and delegates and special guests. Those assisting in the programme were: Miss Vivian Gordon, and Mr. Hardaman, who sang, and the following delegates: Rev. J. L. Jasper, Miss Emma B. Hall, Mrs. E. Frances Ellis, Miss Sadie A. Gaskins, Mr. James R. Moss, Miss Lillian Robinson, Mr. S. V. C. Westerfield and Mr. A. S. Pinkett. The following also helped make a success of the meeting; Mr. Thomas Reed, decorations; Miss Carrie Ford, finance; Mrs, Ophelia Morris, social. To Mrs. Gray also is due the existence of Christian Endeavor in the Third Baptist church, for it was she who went before pastor and church, overcame their objections and later, with the assistance of others, organized and set to work the Y. P. S. of Christian Endeavor, refusing the honor of being its first president, since she at that time was superintendent of the Sunday school, throwing her vote and influence to elect Mr. C. W. Lewis who served four years and was followed by Mr. James H. Coleman. During the last two years Mrs. Gray presided and worked unceasingly and untringly to bring the society to its present state of efficiency. Her successor, Mr. J. W. Yates Bush, is a capable, earnest young man, and is striving hard to raise still higher the standard of efficiency. The Society meets every Sunday at 6 p. m. in the vestry of the church. Officers: Mr. J. W. Yates Bush, president; Miss Gertrude Carter, vice president; Miss Mable R. Williams, recording secretary; Miss Estelle Smith, corresponding secretary; Mrs. Edmonia Carter, treasurer; Miss Estell Curtis, cholester, and Mr. John Spriggs, librarian. WILLIAM WHITE The subject of this sketch, Mr. William M. White, is the head waiter at the Hotel Emerson, Baltimore. Prior to his coming to the hotel he was in charge of the Merchants Club of Baltimore, a most exclusive club. It was the dedication of the Scottish Rite Temple at Sixteenth and S streets northwest, that Mr. White played an important part. As usual with Masons, their exercises carry with them a period of feast, and it was the Emerson Hotel, of Baltimore, that had charge of that part of the exercises incident to the dedication. The proprietor of the Emersons gave Mr. White absolute charge of the festival feature of the dedication and he journeyed to Washington with about ten of his select men to serve the illustrious Knights. Prior to his coming he had selected Mr. Lincoln Brown to choose experienced men to aid him in the work. The name of Mr. Brown stands for something in Washington, as he has served some of the most aristocratic functions in this city, thus the men he selected were of the very highest type. Mr. W. J. Singleton was the secretary to Mr. White. Mr. White stands at the head of his profession. He has the ability, the tact and the thing most lacking in men in like positions, and that is NERVE. His employees give him absolute charge of the service and the very business like way that he discharged the duties imposed upon him elicited praise from his employees and those served. Mr. White knows P. H. the business, he plans the work and helps to execute it. Unlike men in similar positions, he is not afraid of work and in his very polite way he knows how to demonstrate to the men under him just what he wants. He is clean-cut and extra particular and he is also appreciative of the service rendered. The way Mr. White handled the many people the opening day Monday, October 18, when they must have fed more than three thousand people during the day, caused the gentlemen in charge of the affair to speak words of praise for the way he conducted the affair and for the dispatch in doing the work. There is no doubt that if we could produce more men like Mr. White in the line of work he is following, that we would have a better standing in that work and more of it to do. His efficiency was the one thing that impressed us all. He not only knew what to do, but he knew how to do it and knew when it was done. The gentlemen of Washington who served with Mr. White, and some of them serve the choice of the social set here, bespeak or Mr. White a long and successful life and wish him a prolonged life that will make history for posterity. A NEGRO MEETING AND AN OCTAROON GIRL. Victor I. Masters, Editor of Publications. (From the Home Field.) Early in October it became my privilege to go to Alcooli, South Carolina, to participate for two days in the great religious campaign for Negroes conducted there under the patronage of the Alderman Lumber Company by Rev. Richard Carroll, Home Board Evangelist to Negroes. Alcooli is a thriving town built by Mr. W. D. Alderman and his sons and practically owned by them. It is one of the greatest, if not the greatest, of the lumber plants in the South owned by a single family. It is in the coast-belt section of the state, in the midst of the long leaf pine region, and the plant includes a railway of perhaps fifty miles. The Aldermans are Baptists and are of that kind of wealthy Baptists for which we may well thank God, while we pray for their number to be increased. Largely by their support there is in the town a handsome and adapted church building for the white Baptists and capable pastor, Rev. H. K. Williams, in charge. The lumber company employs many hundreds of Negroes, besides whites. There is no adequate force for the development of spiritual stamina and moral integrity among the Negroes in most of the little churches of the blacks in the region near Alcolu and along the line of the Alderman railroad. Mr. Robert J. Alderman conceived the idea of inviting Rev. Richard Carroll, with his large and handsome tent, which the gifts of Mr. Alderman and two other white friends enabled him to secure, to hold an evangelistic meeting for the blacks. This Brother Carroll did in a way that not soon be forgotten in all that section. On Sunday afternoon there were in the tent at a men's meeting not fewer than 1,000 Negro men and perhaps 300 white men, while meetings were in progress elsewhere in which there were 600 to 800 Negro women and children. The Alderman railway-ran an excursion train on which hundreds of Negroes came from the lumber camps and elsewhere, and a great many came in from the surrounding farms, making a total of probably 1,800. On the next day the great lumber plant was closed down for two hours while the meetings were in progress. Richard Carroll told a story before the meeting, for men only which showed his wonderful tact in dealing with the embarrassing facts in the relation of the races, and which made the white men present think seriously about a particularly obnoxious injustice which the superior race is responsible forshouldering on to the weaker group. I cannot discuss the case here with the frankness the speaker used in the men's meeting, but yet it is practicable to present the leading outlines of the case of Mazie. Mazie, said Brother Carroll, is fourteen years old and so fair of skin that she could go where she was not known and pass as white. A certain white man in the state had sent for Carroll a year or two ago and asked him to take this child and educate her. The mother, who lived on the white man's place, was a quadroon. Before anything was done to provide for the support of Mazie in her education, the white man died. Before a great while the wife of the man sent for Brother Carroll to come to discuss with her the case of Mazie. The widow was expecting to marry again and she wanted to get the mother of Mazie out of the way and this child of her husband provided for in a way that would safeguard the girl's character at an age when it would almost surely be contaminated if she was thrown out on the world. Though seven-eights white, Mazie must be honest and pure, if at all, by the help of the blacks. Brother Carroll told the widow he and his wife could not keep Mazie because of his constant, evangelistic traveling. In this emergency, the President of a Negro college at Columbia, himself and his wife being nearly, or quite full-blooded, Negroes, took Mazie and promised to try to educate her, though there was no means whatever in sight for her support. I am sorry I have lost the name of this man, for I was much impressed both by him and his wife. He can: however, easily be reached through Rev. Richard Carroll, whose home address is Columbia, South Carolina. The white men under that tent were brought to a close view of the fruit of the white man's sin, which habitually makes a liability and burden to the blacks, while the whites sidestep. Ah, it was a lesson which struck in! To turn that girl loose at fourteen, white and yet a Negro, was practically to turn her over to a life the end of which is shame and ruin. Rather than let her go, faithful Negroes took her, like the good Samaritan did the wounded man on Jericho road, while the whites passed by on the other side. At a later hour, when the women were in the tent, Carroll without remark had Mazie to stand gut on the platform. Then he had the Negro crowd to march up, with their small coin and put something on the table to help educate Mazie. Meantime I profered, to go with a hat among the whites. Many of those white men contributed. I could wish that incident could be staged as it was at Alcolu in every community in the South. In a most impressive way it would bring home to white men the truth that the way of the transgressor is hard and it would crystallize the manhood and decency of any average group of men so that they would feel the cutting indignation which it deserves against the sin of a white man which eventuates in the situation of the presence of that practically white young girl in Carroll's tent typified. For three years the Evangelistic Department of the Home Board has done work among the Negroes. The effort has been almost unbelievably successful and beneficial. The effort at Alcolu, made possible by the religious concern of a white Baptist business man who directs large interests, is a new venture. Its success depended in part upon good will of the average white citizens of an essentially rural community and on the support of some commanding white personality. It had both of those at Alcolu and the result was large, blessed and gratifying. The hope is here expressed that there will be other large employers of Negro labor who will follow the example of the Aldermen at Alcolu in arranging for evangelistic campaigns for their Negro people: Rev. Richard Carroll himself is half white and half Negro. He has truly remarkable gifts for helping the Negroes and for bringing about between the races a better understanding and a sense of mutual responsibility. Wherever he has gone in his work throughout the South with the Home Board, he has made for himself a reputation with white people similar to that which he has enjoyed in South Carolina for many years. One of Carroll's strongest methods of helping the Negroes is to get the white people to stand by him while he does it, and in this I have never seen him equaled.

If once the class of whites hear Carroll who help to make race trouble, and who fan the fire of prejudice and passion; they are no longer dispised to breathe forth slaughterings against the Negroes, or, at least, against Carroll. God bless him, and give him even in larger degree the support of both races in the good work which he is doing. Home Mission Rooms, Atlanta; Ga. HE IS PLEASED. Rev. Richard Carroll is Pleased With People of Washington. Mr. Editor: I am leaving for Columbia, S. C., my home, to-day. We are planning for another great campaign in Knoxville, Tenn., similar to the one we had in Washington. The meetings will go on in Washington for the next week or ten days. I never have been in a meeting among preachers before that was so harmonious than when in Washington. D. C. Drs. Bailey and Butler will remain until the close of the meeting; also Mr. John Smiley, our singer, I want to thank you kindly, and also the press for the part they took in advertising these meetings. Our preachers should now the value and help of the press in advertising such enterprises and should use the newspaper columns freely. Our meetings would not have been what they are had it not been for the space the press of Washington gave, and I wish to give my hearty thanks to the assistance rendered and to the co-operation of the Baptist pastors and churches in the great Evangelistic Campaign, especially Dr. J. Milton Waldron, who was a tower of strength, and his stenographer and private secretary, Mr. Joseph Settlers. He -(Mr. Settlers) wrote many letters for me, and did much to help me to arrange other campaign meetings in the South. I wish Mr. Settlers lived in Columbia. A more devoted stenographer and gentleman to his work I have never met. RICHARD CARROLL Drawer 340. Columbia, S. C. Prof. Herbert C. Millar is a dramatist of supreme ability. His marvellous creative imagination is seen at its best in his two original masterpieces, "The Resurrection" and the "Trial of Jesus." Prof. Henry Pope Corrothers, Oxford University, Eng. I was so deeply impressed with the intense captivating period, and the great realism of Prof. Millar's rendition of his own drama, "The Resurrection," that I thought I stood myself at the Tomb of the Risen Christ! Indeed as a word-painter of realism he is a genius! Prof. William Conrad Reeves, Chief Justice of Barbados, B. W. S. Prof. Millar is to my mind the greatest living extemporaneous dramatist, and up to the present hour he has no equal in the province of extemporaneous elocation. To hear him is not only to receive an education but it means you are to be exalted into the highest raptures of inspiration. He has given his recitals in Europe and South America. He is the author of fifty original dramas, and his work alone must surely glorify the dignity and genius of our race. Sumner H. Lark, A. B., Editor of The Eye. "DEAD" MAN APPEARS. Puzzle Is, Who Was Drowned Person Identified and Buried as O'Brien? Poughheepsle, N. Y.-Like a ghost aged Andrew O'Brien appeared in St. Peter's church at mass. At the earlier mass prayers had been said for him, and no one doubted it was he who had been buried in St. Peter's cemetery following the finding of his supposed body in the Hudson river. The dead man was positively identified by Chief of Police McCabe as Andrew O'Brien, who had not been seen for several days. Others, including Dr J. M. Poucher, who knew O'Brien well, were as positive as the chief. The drowned man was buried, though not by the side of O'Brien's wife. When she died, many years ago, she was placed in the plot of her own family. After the excitement due to his appearance had subsided O'Brien said he had gone into the country to work on a farm. The body of the man buried as O'Brien will be exhumed by Coroner Selfridge and photographed for identification. SNAKE EATS GLASS EGGS. Entries by Knothole, but After Meal Is Too Fat to Get Out. Baltimore.—Snakes which in the past have feasted generously on real eggs in the chicken coop of McGill-Belt, who has a farm near Sugar Loaf mountain, Frederick county, have lately taken to stealing his glass eggs. A dozen of these artificial nest eggs were taken before he was able to get on the trail of the snakes. The last snake to steal a glass egg entered by way of a knothole, but could not depart by the same route because the egg protruded so far that its body would not go through the hole. The snake was captured, then opened, and the egg taken out and placed back in the nest. Drought and Food Needs of Horses Have Been Causes. Cape Town, South Africa.—Ostriches in South Africa are dying by scores because their food has been taken to feed British cavalry horses. Besides the withdrawal of many thousands of tous of alfalfa, which is the main food of the ostriches during the winter, drought has added to the scarcity of food. It is estimated that the farms in South Africa, which are the principal sources of supply of ostrich feathers, have lost 300 per cent of their adult birds. Among young birds the mortality has been still heavier. Formerly markets for the buying of feathers were open daily in Cape province, but with the advent of the war there was a complete cessation of trade exchange. It was only at the end of June of this year that merchants reopened the markets. In the week ending July 5 14,000 pounds were sold. This was considered a record week, and it was immediately followed by a trade slump, which resulted in the closing of the markets. They have since been opened only a few days in each week, and the sales have been sluggish. FORTUNE FALLS TO FIANCEE. Girl 1Inherits $2,400,000 After Marrying Another Man. Punxsutawney, Pa.—Mrs. Fred Smith of this city, formerly Miss Mary Hadden, has fallen heir to a fortune estimated at $2,400,000. It was bequeathed her, together with his home, by Harry Rlams of Buffalo, who died April, 26, 1914. Rlams and Mrs. Smith, then Miss Hadden, were engaged to be married. The wedding was set for May 30, 1914, but Rlams was then dying. His will, which has just been made public, leaves the bulk of his estate to his former sweetheart, but she cannot get possession until she is twenty-three, three years from now. USES TOYS AS CHURCH LURE. Jersey Pastor Thus Hopes to Win Couples With Children. Plainfield, N. J.—As a special inducement to parents with young children to attend the First Presbyterian church of this city, the Rev. Dr. Charles E. Herring announced that he will have toys in certain pews to amuse the youngsters while their older take part in the services. Church officals kept watch of the young married couples with children who strolled by the church on Sabbath afternoons, and as they all passed the church without entering a reason was sought. Restless children was the cause, and the toy idea was then conceived. At Seventy-two Gets First Train Ride. Grass Valley, Cal.-Sixty-five years ago as a girl of seven, Matthida Woods came to this city with her parents, made her home in a log cabin, in the midst of pine trees, and when she reached maturity was married to the township constable. Her friends brought her stipes of the outside wood, but their tales never moved her to wander away from her fireside. Now at the age of seventy-two she has just taken her first ride on a railroad train and will get her first, glimpse of the ocean. She has gone to visit a daughter in San Francisco.

Sixty-five members of the company and many invited guests assembled around the festive board and partook of the many varieties of food and drink provided, and amidst the curling smoke of many pipes, cigars and cigarettes, addresses were made by the following officers: Major James E. Walker, Major Edward L. Webster, retired, former commander of Company A; Captain Joseph H. Johnson, retired, late of Company A; Captain Joseph H.

The drum corps was also very evident. Sergeant Robert Queen was chairman of the committee in charge, assisted by Private Henry Parker, secretary; Sergeant William Hardy, Corporal Harry Jones and James E. Norris, Cook Howard Berry, Artificer Houston Warren, Lance Corporals Oscar L. Payne and Joseph C. Janifer, Privates Robert C. Shields, Henry Ridgeley, Arthur Thompson, and Marcellious Stewart. ILL-BRED NEGROES AND ILL-BRED WHITE PEOPLE. Miss Mammie H. Burroughs from the Worker. No place in the world affords a better opportunity to study people than on the street car. There are a few Negroes who think that white people have a monopoly on refinement, but there are many more white people who think that Negroes have never heard the mystic word "refinement." Well the street car is the place to find out who is right. The rich and the poor, the educated and uneducated, the laborer and the loafer, all meet together there, and ill-manneredness is the habit of nearly, all of them. White people try to keep Negroes out of seats. This not only proves that they are ill-bred, but that they are dishonest. People have no right to two seats, when they have paid for only one. Further, there are no "reserved seats" on street cars, but white people reserve seats for white people by spreading themselves out and making room only when their kind enter. The exhibition of impoliteness on the part of most Negroes is due largely to the exhibition of bad manners on the part of white people. Negroes are entitled to seats if there are any on the car. They are not entitled to them if all seats are occupied. But the "white eagles" spread themselves out and thus take up space in order to keep Negroes out of it. We have seen Negroes resent this treatment by pushing or shoving themselves in. This is wrong. The only way to teach ill-bred people a lesson is to ignore them. If you want to see what moral cowards some men are, watch them on the street cars. There is not one white man in a thousand who has moral courage enough to defy prejudice and offer a woman a seat because she is a woman, regardless of her color. These "social equality fanatics" have made moral cowards of white men. The same "fanatics" have made boors of Negro men. Negroes rush to get seats because they know white people will crowd them out or "spread them" out. The Negro is charged with being impolite, when the truth of the matter is that he could not be otherwise according to his schooling. Everything that can be done on the public carrier to humiliate the Negro is certainly done. Everything that can be done to arouse a spirit of nessentiment is certainly done. Often Negroes of fair complexion are given seats by mistake. We have heard white men almost swear when they discovered, their mistake. We have often wondered why they do not do a little of their swearing at the men who are responsible for this "mistake." If we are to judge people by their conduct on the street cars and public carriers, we must conclude that this thing that we call refinement is only skin deep. In both black and white we find something akin to the savage. Our only regret is that Negroes do not show themselves superior by doing the superior thing. The best way to resent this contemptible treatment is to so dress and so act on the street cars as to rebuke any attempt to scorn. The Negro cannot afford to try to get even with white people who disregard all the rules of public courtesy to express their contempt for a people who were born black instead of white. We have too much at stake. No race can express its contempt for another race without eventually losing its social ideal. PASTOR RUSSEL DRAWS COLOR LINE ON WOMAN New York City, Oct. 23.—Miss A. L. T.

Being interested in all such work, Miss Wyates readily accepted the free public invitation of welcome to the meeting, which she extended to some friends. On entering the front door she was accosted by an usher, who directed them to the side door for seats in the gallery; on protesting that she and her friends should sit where they desired, she was again more firmly told that they could not sit on the main floor, but that they would have to go to the gallery. The humiliated lady had to do all she could to suppress her outraged feelings at such glaring hypocrisy, and has called the attention of the News to this potent case of discrimination, which, despite the pastor's denials, are nevertheless so, and which could not happen unless he himself had given at least tacit consent to it by not preventing its occurrence.

A Lesson From the Far Bast on Giving For Religious Purposes—Treasurers Without Bondmen—The Temple Repaired—Typical 'Application of This Event—Necessity of Return to Bible Study—Doing Our Part In Rebuilding of Walls of Spiritual Zion. "God loveth a cheerful giver."—2 Cor. 9:7. SIXTEEN years passed after the incidents of our previous Study, and found King Joash in his twenty-third year. Al- SIXTEEN years passed after the incidents of our previous Study, and found King Joash in his twenty-third year. Already he had made suggestions to the priests respecting the repairs of the T-ample, which was considerably dilapidated, because the people were still half-hearted in the worship of Jehovah. The idolatry of the surrounding nations still influenced them. Some of them continued to burn license upon the altars of Baal. Priests Poor Business Mon. King Joash found that allowing the priests to collect the money wherewith to repair the Temple produced no results. The record does not tell that the priests were dishonest in the use of the money, nor does it say that they spent the money unwisely. Possibly the people did not have confidence in the priests, and therefore did not give so freely. However, the king noted that the Temple continued to do die A man is giving a gift to a woman. continued to be lapidated, and said to the priests, "Why repair ye not the breaches of the Temple?" Their reply is not given; but the royal mandate was, "Take no more money from your acquaintances." The king passed over the matter as lightly and courteously as possible, without charging the priests with embellishment on neglect. A new procedure was to have an especially prepared money chest inside the Temple Court, convenient to the worshipers who passed in and out, and under the care of the priest who served as doorkeeper. This method proved successful. The money speedily accumulated. Ere long there was a sufficiency to make the repairs and more. Further donations for this purpose were refused. The Temple was put into good order, and a general blessing followed the experience. ing followed in this matter for us. People like to see results. They wish to know that monies donated for benevolent purposes are not all absorbed for office expenses. Voluntary offerings have the approval of both God and men, rather than offerings that are imported, coaxed, begged, wheeled from saints and sinners. Whoever gives to the Lord's Cause is advantaged thereby. He not only forwards a benevolent Cause, but cultivates generosity in his own heart. "It is more blessed to give than to receive"—where the giving is voluntary. the giving Church begging is undoubtedly doing great harm. The remark has been made that in some churches the chief item of religion is begging money. The proper thought seems to be what the Scriptures inclucate; namely, that each Christian give according to his ability and interest in the work, and that non-worshipers should not be expected to give nor requested to do so. Who does not know that a large proportion of the money collected for church purposes is unwillingly given by people who are not only not directly interested in the projects, but sometimes even opposed thereto! Thus Protestant business men often give to Catholic charities rather than offend good customers. Likewise Catholic business men donate to Protestant enterprises with which they have no sympathy—1 Corinthians 16:2. Breaks In the Temple Wall. Viewing the spiritual Temple, we perceive that outwardly, as represented by the magnificent churches of metro- politan cities, nothing more could be desired than what is now enjoyed. But the Scriptures portray the church conditions of our day under the figure of the Laodicean Church. (Revelation 3:15-18.) It is from the spiritual standpoint, therefore, that the Temple of today Twentieth Century Bible Study. needs repairs. The majority of her educated, including ministers, have abandoned all faith, in the Bible as the Word of God. Yet they are not known as inside's, but by the less harsh term, "Higher Critics."

With many the faith in a personal God is shaking; and they incline to wonder whether we have not an intelligent god—Nature—and whether mankind and all other intelligences are not merely evolutionary products. The cause and foundation of this disastrous condition is not far off. The absurdities of the creeds formulated during the Dark Ages are so great that intelligent people can no longer accept them. We have made the mistake of supposing that these absurdities are based upon the Scriptures, and well supported thereby. The truth is that the creeds contradict not only each other, but the Bible. To learn this, believe this, signifies a return to Bible study with the colored spectacles of our fathers removed and with our hearts uplifted to God that He may give us the light promised to His faithful people in the end of the Gospel Ages. THE TWELVE TRIBES OF SPIRITUAL ISRAEL These, as Elect of God, Will Constitute the Christ Body. The Christ Company, Head and Body, God's Elect Gathered From Jews and Gentiles—Not Many Wise or Rich Called—The Great Company Who Lose Their Crowns—Neglect of Their Vow of Faithfulness—Present War and Its Outcome—God's Faithful to Point to Christ's Coming Kingdom. St. Louis. Mo. Oct. 31. — Tastor Russell's discourse here today was intensely interesting. His text was, "And I heard the number of them that were sealed; and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand, of all the tribes of the children of Israel." PASTOR RUSSELL The Pastor introduced his theme with a brief explanation of our Lord's two changes of nature, as set forth in the Scriptures. Before coming into the world, our Lord was known as the Logos-Jehovah's only direct creation. He became a man, and as such gave Himself in conservation to do the Father's will, even at the cost of His own life, that He might redeem the fallen human race. For this work the Father highly rewarded Him, raising Him from the dead a Divine Being—Revelation 2:11; Col. 1:15; Philippians 2:8-11. Our Lord's perfect obedience was the basis on which Jobovah raised Him to His present high position. God might have let Him begin at once His great work of blessing mankind. But Jobovah had purposed that certainly ones chosen from the human family would gladly become followers of Jesus in order to share His glory. God had arranged that this class should be united to Christ as His Body, His Bride. This company is to be composed of 144,000. How These Became the Twelve Tribes As usual, the Pastor cried many corobrative Scriptures. He then explained how the Church, the Body of Christ, come to be of the twelve tribes of Israel. He declared that God had laid out the entire program of the Gospel. Age upon the Jewish basils. Provision was made for choosing the Church from Natural Israel—12,000 from each tribe. God foreknew, however, that only a small remnant from all the tribes would receive our Lord as Messiah. Approximately only 25,000 were gathered to Him during the Jewish Harvest. After the close of the seventy symbolic weeks of favor to Israel, God turned to the Gentiles, to fill up the required number of the Elect. Of those received from the Gentiles, some will be put into one tribe and some into another, as God wills. (Romans 11:17-25.) But His decision will be satisfactory. The Revelator mentions another company, much larger than the Very Elect. This Great Company have not lived in harmony with their consecration vows. They have soiled their garments and must wash them "white in the blood of the Lamb." They must cleanse themselves during a great "Time of Trouble such as was not since there was a nation." Some of them have been weak through fear of loss of worldly favor; others have been hindered by the cares of this life. They have neglected to avail themselves of the privilege of daily cleansing at the Throne of Heavenly Grace. Therefore they have lost their crowns. Should any of this class plunge into wilful sin such will do the Second Death. such will win. The speaker called attention to the Scripture which reads, "Judgment must begin at the House of God" (1 Peter 4:17)—the professed Church of Christ and exhorted his hearers to diligence in keeping themselves unspotted from the world. He showed that all who are slothful in this matter must answer for their unfaithfulness; that unless this condition is promptly rectified, these will lose their crowns and receive sore chastisement in the coming trouble—the "great, tribulation." This does not mean eternal torment; however, for the Scriptures represent the Great Company as eventually getting palms of victory, and as serving God in His Temple. The faithful class on the contrary, will receive the crown of glory—immortality. "He Cometh Now to Reign." The remainder of the discourse related to the Messianic Kingdom, which the Pastor declares will soon be inaugurated. The present great war, he asserted, is the beginning of the work of disintegration of earthly kingdoms, according to Scripture. Therefore members of the Church of Christ should avoid all partisanship, should rid themselves of all false expectations, that thus they may be better able to see God's view of the whole matter. This war has been brewing for the past forty years. Each nation has determined to have, if possible, what it considers its rights on the sea. Each has determined that rival nations shall not have the supremacy. Jealousy and selfishness have been rampant. It would, be very improper for true Christians to have any prejudice in one way or another; for we are to love all mankind, irrespective of nationality. We do not wish to see any of them injured, and are sorry that they do not know better than to destroy one another. JOHN D., JR., WINS ENEMIES' HEARTS Genial and Unassuming Manner Charms Colorado. NOW MINERS' FAVORITE. Dances With Workers' Wives, Pinches Checks of Children, Wields Pick In Mine and Eats Laborers' Chuck on Visit to Colorado—Learns Living Conditions. Pueblo, Colo.—Colorado public opinion is fickle. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., whose name was hated in every section of the state, is the most popular individual in the commonwealth today, if the Colorado newspapers accurately reflect the feeling of the people. All the young multimillionaire did in a short stay was to dance the fox trot with the wives of the miners, pinch the checks of their children, go down into a coal mine and wield the plek, discard his coat and eat miners' chuck at the miners' tables, give a few band stands to the mining camps and indulge in centuries' old platitudes at "home theatricals" in the mountain village. But that did the business. The newspapers in all parts of the state are now extolling the house of Rockefeller to the skies. Even some of the union miners, who hated the name with a malevolent hate, say they did not know the man before. Rockefeller was in dead earnest in asserting what the conditions were in the camps and the mills where the T. H. welfare of thousands of human beings depended upon his decisions or whims. It was a big stoy for Colorado—the coming of young Rockefeller into the very heart of the "civil war" zone, into the places where the state militia in protecting his property had engaged in sanguinary battles with the workers. The third party in interest—the innocent public—had got heartily sick of both the strikers and the Rockefeller folk. But the hatred was there. The thing, perhaps that did more to win Colorado's friendship than all his other activities was that dancing stunt at the Caineron mining camp. Everybody who read a daily newspaper in Colorado knew all about it next morning. And when the populace awoke to learn that he not only suggested the dance himself, that he not only danced a single dance, but broke up his whole program in order to 'dance long into the night with the miners' wives and daughters, all classes opened their arms and welcomed John D. Jr. as Colorado's own. Colorado's own The Denver Post printed on its front page an open letter to Mr. Rockefeller import as follows: "The people and the Post believe that your visit to Colorado marks an important epoch in the industrial history and welfare of the state. You have been a pleasant surprise to us, and you have tremendously excited our personal interest in you and respect for you. for you. "You have really opened the eyes of the entire Rocky mountain region. You have acted so well your part in so modest, unassuming and manly a way; you have so greatly pleased your friends and clingrined and disappointed your enemies that the people of northern Colorado now want to make your welcome into the state practically unmotious. "And after all, Mr. Rockefeller each man, in this world is his brother's keeper," and as one of the very big men of the country, as one of the richest men in the country, you have tremendous opportunities and tremendous obligations, which we all believe and hope you are going to fill in a great and Christian-like way. "And so the people of Colorado salute you as one of the greatest possibilities and assets of the younger generation." LAUGHS SELF TO DEATH. Victim Forced to Leave Dinner, Found Dead on Lawn. Patchogue, N. Y.—During a dinner of the Jeffersonian Democratic club at Avery's hotel, on the beach at Blue Point. William P. Gardiner, a prominent resident of this place, strangely disappeared. Mr. Gardiner laughed so immoderately at jokes that were passing about the table that he had to leave the table. He walked on the veranda, and then the merrymakers forgot all about him. When he had not returned to his home his wife made inquiries. His friends recalled that he had left the table, but they had not seen him after that. A search was begun, and his body was found in a flower bed on the hotel lawn. Coronier E. S. Moore of Bayshore ordered an autopsy, and it was found that he had died of heart disease; that probably his heart was not strong enough to stand the strain of his continued and hearty laughing. PAT-PAT PLEADER A KISSER. Anti-osculator Was Buay In Former Days, Say Nieces. Huntington, W. Va.—Dr. E. W. Grover, president of the Huntington board of health, has met with an unkind setback in his campaign to do away with kissing and substitute the "pat-pat," in which one gently taps the cheeks of his beloved instead of imprinting old fashioned kisses on her lips. His three pieces, Mrs. Mertle Funk, Mrs. Rome Balker and Mrs. Mary Grover, who live in Los Angeles, Cal., have written: now written "When it came to, osculatory pursuits our uncle was a humdinger in bygone days. The other boys didn't have a chance with him. He was some kinsman." Dr. Grover has received hundreds of letters protesting against his "pat-pat" system. A Cleveland man has termed him "a superannuated old stick." FINDS DISEASE PERIL IN SWIMMING POOLS Washington.-A swimming pool, says the United States public health service, may become polluted and transmit disease. Ninety-one large mulepalpitations in the United States have established public swimming pools to meet the desire for knowledge of swimming. The public health service publishes an article by Dr. Wallace A. Manhelmer of Columbia university on the results obtained from an examination of six pools. pools. It is pointed out that in swimming in polluted water typhoid fever, conjunctivitis and other diseases may be contracted. The report gives in detail the results of the bacterial analyses made of the various pools and also of the effects of retitration and chemical disinfection. When the water is unfiltered it is apt to be cloudy, thereby making the danger of accidental drowning very great. When refiltration is practiced the water becomes clear and this danger is obliqued. The report concludes, that the cubic capacity of a pool affects its sanitary condition, that the process of adding dilution water is an efficient means of reducing the number of bacteria and that supervision of the health of attendants is an important factor. The combination of refiltration and disinfection by the use of calcium-hypo-chlorite renders the sanitary conditions of the water excellent, says Dr. Manhelmer. WED AFTER FORTY YEARS. Old Sweethearts Meet and In a Few, Hours Are Engaged. Evansville. Ind.—Joseph Parrott, fifty, of Wichita, Kan., and Mrs. Penelope Riggs, aged fifty, of this city, sweet-hearts forty years ago, were married at St. James M. E. church in the presence of a number of friends and relatives after a few days' courtship. Several days ago Parrot came here to visit old friends after an absence of forty years. He met Mrs. Riggs, and in a few hours they were engaged. After spending a few days here Mr. and Mrs. Parrott will go to Wichita, where they will live. Makes Smallest Penknife. Altoona, Pa.—What is perhaps the smallest penknife, in the world has just been completed by M. A. Kaufman, employed in a jewelry store here. It measures 5.32 of an inch in length, with a blade less than 2-10 of an inch long. The handle is solid gold, while the blade and spring are of tempered steel. The knife is kept in a bottle to prevent losing it. The workmanship must be seen through a magnifying glass. Verona. N. J.—Under a recent statute the plan of paying prisoners in the Essex county penitentiary in Caldwell has been begun.

He then presented the District president, Mrs Nellie Smith, one of the leading singers in the Pageant, who presided. Her introductory remarks were indeed cheerful, after which she presented the founder and president general, Wellington A. Adams, who held his hearers spellbound until the end with an eloquent plea for a national music organization that could give to the world the best there is of the negro in music. Letters of interest were read from Dr. W. E. B. Bois, Harry A. Burleigh of New York City, Carl A. Diton, director music department, Wiley University, Houston, Texas; Alfred J. Hill, director People's Choral Society and Arion Glee Club of Philadelphia; Mrs. G. O. Bullock, wife of Rev. Dr. Bullock, pastor First Baptist Church, Winston-Salem, N.

The fishing fleet landing fish at Boston and Glouster, Mass., and Portland, Me., included 296 steam and sail vessels. At Boston 388 trips were landed aggregating 10,228,293 pounds of fish, valued at $291,225; at Gloucester 181 trips were landed aggregating 8,542,380 pounds, valued at $199,502; and at Portland 91 trips were landed amounting to 683,685 pounds, valued at $26,095; a total for the three ports of 660 trips, and 19,454,341 pounds of fresh and salted fish, for which the fishermen received $516,822. On September 1, large quantities of small mackerel were landed at Boston, and on September 8 the schooner Tattler arrived at Glouster with 475,000 pounds of salted cod. This is the largest hand-line fare landed at this port since 1909, when the same craft welched off 479,433 pounds of cod. Swordfish have been quite plentiful. The catch of mackerel this year to September 20, amounts to 68,161 barrels of fresh and 8,240 barrels of salted, as compared with 65,900 barrels of fresh and 13,015 barrels of salted for the same period in 1914. MR. DALE IN TOWN. Mr. E. W. Dale, the proprietor of the famous Hotel Dale, Cape May, N. J., was in the city Tuesday and called at The Bee office.
