George Noble, of the sixteenth district, reported ten clubs that have allied themselves with the united republican clubs. Dr. T. P. Pannell of the International Liberty Union occupied the chair to enable Editor W. Calvin Chase to offer the following preamble and resolutions, which were unanimously adopted: PREAMBLE AND RESOLUTION. Whereas, believing as we do in the great and fundamental principles of the republican party and its policies which have been a benefit to this city and the nation; and knowing that the founders of that party and their advocacy of its principles and policies are due to the progress of the country and its growth; and realizing at this-time the country's peril, it is the duty of every true American citizen to be prepared when his country calls him to duty, regardless of color or condition, party affiliation, or religious creed. We should also be mindful of the fact the republican party of which we are identified should show to the nation that no member of the United Republic of China has bertayed his trust or duty to his party or country; it is incumbent upon us to select men, as delegates and alternate delegates to the next National Republican Convention, which is to convene in the city of Chicago, the state of Illinois, June 7, 1916, who have never, at any time, on account of a difference of opinion, bolted the party or renounced its principles or repudiated its standard bearer. We, the members of the Executive Committee of the United Republican Clubs, take this opportunity to tender their thanks and gratitude to Theodore S. Noyes, editor of the Evening Star, Chapin Brown, Esq., formerly president of the local bar association, and National Committeeman of the publican party of the District of Columbia, and others for their strong advocacy for the restoration of the Elective Franchise in the District of Columbia, thus permitting the people to choose their own representatives in Congress and a vote for President and vice-president of the United States. Therefore, Be it resolved, That, we, the members of the Executive Committee of the United Republican Clubs, representing twenty-two (22) republican clubs by that name, in the twenty-two (22) old legislative districts in the District of Columbia, regardless of color, or condition, unanimously endorse the efforts of those advocates of the Elective Franchise, Messrs. Noyes, Brown, and others, and unequivically subscribe ourselves to the aces to good government: opposition of the following as men- ist. The coming exhibition of "The Paintings" is the 2nd. The adoption of a prohibition law without the consent of the people. and without first submitting it to a vote of the bona fide citizens of Washington. 3rd. Home rule in the appointment of people of the District of Columbia to officers. Resolved, Further, That the members of the United Republican Clubs in the District of Columbia, be, and are hereby directed to elect three of their best representative republicans regardless of color, to Grand Army Hall, Tuesday, April 4, 1916, on which occasion representative citizens will be named as candidates for delegates and alternate delegates to the National Republican Convention which is to convene in the city of Chicago, the state of Illinois, June 7, 1916. Resolved, Further, That we condemn as unconstitutional and repugnant to good government, the so-called amendment to the appropriation bill, increasing the hours of labor in the departments of the government. Resolved further. That we condemn racial discrimination of any kind in the departments of the national government and disfranchisement of certain citizens in the southern states on account of color or condition, as a violation of the constitution of the United States. Resolved, lastly. That, we sympathize with the suffering humanity of all Europe, and sincerely hope that the bloodiest conflict in the world's history will soon end and the recent Ford expedition for peace has our highest commendation. Speakers: Among few of the speakers for the united republican clubs' campaign are: Attorneys Charles G. and Charles S. Williams, Henry L. Tignor, James M. Ricks, John A. Moss, Thomas L. Jones, Royal H. Hughes, Messrs. W. H. Harrison, Samuel H. Harris, Dr. C. R. Collins, Dr. W. H. Holmes. At the grand rally at Grand Army Hall, aside from the local orators, many speakers of national reputation will be present. The foregoing speakers are but a few of the many who will address the several meetings. AN INVITATION TO EDUCATORS. Durham, N. C., March 1, 1916.—The National Training School, Durham, N. C., extends a cordial invitation to the heads of the universities, colleges and secondary schools for the education and training of colored people in the United States to be guests of the school Nov. 21-24, 1916, for the purpose of conferences, closer unity and understanding of the needs and educational requirements of the colored people. Among the subjects to be discussed particular stress will be laid on the following: 1. What is the opinion of the educators themselves in regard to the duplication of work in schools in the various communities? Has it been hurtful, unwise, and wasteful? What plans ought to be fostered to correct the evil? 2. To what extent should classes devoted to teacher training be encouraged? How and where located? 3. What system should be devised to meet the requirements of the rural teacher? 4. What should be the standard of the university, college, normal school, teacher training and secondary schools? 5. How should students be received from one to the other? 6. To what extent should religious instruction be carried on the various schools? 7. Shoul there be a general clearing-house for aid of negro schools? 8. Is the aid given by the various funds and boards to negro education wise, economical and helpful? Many other kindred subjects will be announced on the tentative program, which will be published in the early fall. This conference has been suggested by a great many who desire to know the actual condition and needs of the school devoted to negro education from those who are actually doing the work. No conference in recent years will be more far-reaching in its effects than this. The guests will be entertained free of charge by the National Training School. Durham itself presents a field of study and inspiration, which will be furnished by no other city of its size in the country. Do you approve of such a conference? Will you be present? Please let me know at your earliest convenience. Yours for service. B. SHIPKARL, President National Training School. Durham, N. C. Editor of Washington Bee: Permit me to congratulate you upon your splendid editorial on the life and work of the late Prof. John T. Layton. You express the sentiments of a large body of musicians who have gone out from Washington, as well as a number who still reside there. Personally, Prof. Layton's encouragement and advice meant a great deal to me, and I remember that it was his encouragement in bringing me out at the song services at Metropolitan, that gained the consent of my parents in allowing me to take up music as my life work, and this encouragement was freely given to many other young musicians in years past. His passing out is a great loss to the race, and in writing this small tribute, I am sim- M. H.

RACE PREJUDICE IN NEW ENG LAND. Colored Girl Loeses Position—Judge Loring Rules that Dr. French of Medfield Insane Asylum Acted Within His Rights. Boston, Mass—That Dr. Joseph French, superintendent of the Medfield Insane Asylum, was within his rights, under the probationary clause of the civil service rules, when he charged Miss Jane Bosfield, a colored girl, as a stenographer, is the opinion expressed by. Judge Loring in the supreme court, who dismisses the petition of the girl to seek reinstatement. Miss Bosfield testified that she had passed a civil service examination as a stenographer, and that when she had called on Dr. French in regard to a position, he had expressed surprise, and had said he wished the services of a white woman. Governor Walsh's attention was enlisted, and he brought the case to the attention of Dr. O'Meara of the Board of Insanity. Last October Miss Bosfield became United Repu an Other Republican Will Announce Their Ticket for I to the National Republican C in the City of Chicago United Republican Clubs Will Announce Their Ticket for Delegates and Alternate Delegates to the National Republican Convention, Which is to Meet in the City of Chicago, Ill., June 7, 1916 TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 4, 1916 8 O'clock P.

Dr. French, while denying that he was prejudiced against Miss Bosfield on account of her color, testified that he believed her coming would lead to trouble among the other employees and would tend to lessen discipline. He testified that he arranged that she should take her meals and have her room in a private house half a mile from the asylum. After a short time, the woman of that house notified Dr. French that she could not keep Miss Bosfield longer. Then he gave her a room in the chapel, which he admitted was not far from the morgue, with the understanding that her meals were to be sent to her on a tray. Later, he said, she insisted on having her meals in the, regular dining room and for eighteen or nineteen days made, repeated efforts to enter that room at meal times. He said he thought he had a right to have employees eat where he wishes; and because of her alleged insubordination he sent her a written notice of her dismissal, to become effective January 28. Charles L. Williams, clerk of the juvenile court, said Miss Bosfield had been employed by the firm of Williams & Williams, and that they never had a better stenographer. Warren Dudley, secretary of the civil service commissioners, explained the civil service rules. Assistant Attorney General Brown, appearing for Dr. French, contended the latter had acted solely within his rights. Charles L. Williams said that, while acts like that of Dr. French might be tolerated in Georgia, they ought not to be countenanced in Massachusetts. RETIRING WITH HONOR. From the Manila Bulletin. When, in the presence of the great throng that had gathered to listen to his farewell performance and to show their appreciation of the 'great service he has rendered the community and after partially concluding the direction of the last selection that he will probably ever officially conduct as the leader of the great musical organization that he has built up and made famous as a devotion to that work, he handed to his successor the badge of leadership he had wielded for so many years. Major Walter H. Loving might well be proud of the record that he has made in the Philippine Islands. No man has accomplished more in this field of labor in these islands than Major Loving. He is retiring with honor from that work, after building from the rarest material one of the most finished musical organ- Publican Clubs In Organizations Delegates and Alternate Delegates Convention, Which is to Meet o, Ill., June 7, 1916 MY HALL in Fourteenth and Fifteenth N.

His loss to the organization and to the community will become more apparent as time goes on. There are undoubtedly many good musical directors, but Major Loving in addition to being that, had a personality and an influence with the men under his direction that cannot be replaced by mere ability to direct or lead. A NEW BAND CONDUCTOR. From the Manila Times, Luzon. It would be a thousand pities if the band should be allowed to fall away from the high musical standard which it has reached under Captain Loving. So much patient and admirable work has been devoted to it, and it occupies a position of such peculiar value in our community life, that its maintenance unspoiled should be carefully safeguarded. There is every reason to believe that Mr. Navarro will worthily carry on the work of the man under whom he has served for so many years, and his appointment would give general satisfaction. MITCHELL WILCOX DEAD. A Veteran of the Civil War—Distinguished Himself in the Army and Navy—Prominent Knight of Pythias. Mitchell Wilcox, a veteran of the civil war, a sergeant of the 24th Infantry, and 67 years of age, died at his late residence, 439 First street southwest, Thursday, February 24th. He was a retired color sergeant; member of the Army and Navy Union; a member of the Morning Star Lodge of Elks No. 4 and Syracuse Lodge No. 5. K. of O. Comrade Wilcox was popular among his fellows and a devoted member of the Metropolitan A. M. E. Zilon Church. The funeral services took place and Rev. Geo. L., White preached the sermon, Monday, February 28. US The church was crowded with his relatives and friends and the sweet strains of music from the organ, Mrs. Clinkscale, organist, and Prof. J. T. Newman, chorister, added greatly to the solemnity of the occasion. Sergeant Wilcox was married in 1906 to Mrs. Ester Wilcox. She was a most devoted wife and he was a loving husband who provided liberally for his family. His wife is woman who was devoted to her husband and happiness always always present. No one knew him better than Rev. White who was formerly his pastor. His eulogy of him was most eloquent and touching. He spoke of the many fine qualities of the dead veteran and of his bravery in defense of his country. At the conclusion of the services the body of the late Sergeant Wilcox was conveyed to its last resting place, Arlington, Va. THE BEE LEADS.

Word has been received in this city that Ralph W. Tyler will get his name placed on the official ballot in Ohio for delegate-at-large to the Republican National Convention. From news received here, it appears that under the primary laws of Ohio all candidates for delegates-at-large and district delegates have to file petitions, signed by voters, and executed before a notary public. It seems Tyler waited until the last day, and to the great surprise of slate-makers, filed his petition. If he is elected he will be the first colored man to be sent to a Republican National Convention from Ohio in M. B. RALPH TYLER more than forty years. Judging from the space devoted to Tyler's candidacy by white newspapers, his entrance into the contest has created the greatest furore in Ohio politics in years. Even here in Washington members of Congress have been discussing it, and wondering what will happen, because among the seven candidates for the four delegates-at-large from Ohio is Senator Harding. Tyler's courage in qualifying as a candidate with a lot of white candidates, has been much talked about among colored men here. They admire his pluck. Ohio's primaryes to elect delegates is in April, and candidates have to be voted on by the entire State. Friends of the ex-auditor here are hoping he will win. Newspapers claim there are 70,000 colored voters in Ohio who are demanding this representation. It is said Tyler was offered the alternate place, but turned it down, because alternates have no votes in conventions. DR. CHILDS CALLED TO ACCOUNT Teacher Smith Wormly Called His Hand—Will the Members of the Board of Education Resign or Will the Teacher Be Charged With Insubordination—Right of Free Speech. Dr. Creed W. Childs, a member of the Board of Education, in an address a few weeks ago before the teaching body in the public schools, said, among other things, that if the white men would leave our women alone, there would be no occasion for the charge of immorality among them. Mr. Smith Wormly, a teacher in the public schools, and who was present, wrote Dr. Childs a caustic letter, criticizing his address; and particularly the utterances attributed to him. A Bee representative saw Dr. Childs a few days ago, and asked him about the letter, and the doctor's reply was that the writer of the letter didn't know what he was talking about. The consensus of opinion was that Dr. Childs was guilty of the charge or Mr. Wormly was guilty of insubordination in criticizing a member of the Board of Education for having delivering an address to which the teaching body took exceptions. Mr. Wormly remarked a certain member of the Board, to have the matter brought to the Board of Education, and if he is not sustained he should resign. Will Dr. Childs bring the matter to the Board of Education; and if the Board refuses to sustain him, will he resign? is the mooted question. Essay Contest Extended Essay Contest extended. In order to give the children a little longer time to compose the essay on the life of Booker T. Washington, the closing date has been extended from February 22, to March 4, 1816. This was done in response to a number of correspondences asking for the same. Judging from the number of letters received already, the contest will be a live event. All children are advised to take pains, but hurry their essays as there is a big surprise in store for the winners. FISK JUBILEE SINGERS. Metropolitan Church, M street, Tuesday evening, March 7.

By DeReef Miller On last Monday morning, February 28th, the largest real estate deal was pulled off by a western hotel syndicate, when the Corcoran building at the corner of Fifteenth street and Pennsylvania avenue, was sold for $800,000. The present building is to be demolished and the largest hotel in the city is to be erected. The plans for the hotel are reported to include a convention hall large enough to accommodate gatherings which cannot be taken care of in any of the present hotels. This feature the promoters expect will enable many of the larger conventions gathering in Washington to hold all their deliberations under one roof instead of scattering about the city. The hotel business in the city for the past several weeks has surpassed its average for several months. There seems to be a general awakening in all of the local societies; countless banquets, conventions and travel in general has increased. A very encouraging letter was received by Mr. Lawrence N. Lewis of the New Ebbitt recently from Dr. Jesse M. Moseley, a former student at Howard University, and well-known as a former restaurant waiter in this city, Dr. Moseley went to Mexico several years ago as an adventurer; after making rapid strides in his profession, he became a great-friend of all classes and has been recently appointed Mayor of Tula, a thriving city. Dr. Moseley tells of an urgent call for farmers, shoe makers and bankers, 1,000 young colored men are wented to fill in the industrial life of this section. It is very gratifying to note as the years roll by that some of the former "Knights of the Tray," who are now making good in other professions; that when Dame Fortune smiles on them that they think of those who were their friends during the time they fought for an education in the city of Washington. John Masterfield, now one of England's foremost poets, once attended bar in a Sixth Avenue saloon in New York city. On his return to America several weeks ago it was a pleasure for him to shake hands with his old comrades. It has been reported that one of the largest soda fountains in the city of Danville, Va., will open in the early spring, by Edward W. Love and Son, who are now in this city making plans for the soda business. Leon Thompson, connected for several months, with the "Gold Room" at the New Ebbitt, is now employed by the Atlantic Coast Line Dining, Car Department to Florida. The Bee is the paper that looks after the wants of the hotel men and other industrious enterprises among the people, regardless of color or condition. LOYALTY OF COLORED PEOPLE PRAISED BY WHITE FRIENDS. White Friends, North and South, Impressed with Response of Colored People to Appeal for Washington Memorial Fund. Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, Feb. 24.—Neyer has any movement among the colored people aroused so much interest and co-operation as has the campaigned for the Booker T. Washington Memorial Fund. Everywhere there anews to be a growing sentiment that this is the one opportunity for the colored people to show how much they are willing to do for themselves. In their enthusiasm and loyalty, some of the colored friends in their letters to Tuskegee have said that they regard it as a responsibility they owe to the race to contribute to this fund. "For," as has been said, "the white people of the country, north and south, are eagerly watching to see what the colored people are going to do to help perpetuate the work founded by Dr. Bookez T. Washington, and they will give in proportion as the colored people themselves give." At a special meeting of some of the trustees of the Tuskegee Institute held in New York City a few weeks ago, Secretary Emmett J. Scott presented letters from men and women of the race prominent in church, in fraternal organizations and in business, and read editorial comments from many of the colored papers pledging support to the campaign. The trustees were deeply impressed by the spirit of love and appreciation for Dr. Washington which prompted the sentiment of these loyal friends. A letter typical of this sentiment has been received from Bishop George W. Clinton of the A. M. E. Zlon Church. He says in part: "First, I hereby pledge one hundred dollars.. Second, I shall do all in my power to encourage my friends and the ministers and churches of the Fourth Episcopal District, to contribute, and shall lend my heartiest support to the campaign in whatever way I can. Third, I have in mind a proposition to suggest a Booker T. Washington Night at our New Jersey Conference in April and at our General Conference which is to be held in Louisville, Kentucky, in May; fourth, I suggest that April 5th, the date recently discovered to be the anniversary of Dr. Washington's birth, be set HAIR GROWN HAIR GROWN.

Mention this paper. aside by our people as a special occasion to contribute to the cause of negro education, and to make a special donation for the support of the work at Tuskegee Institute." Fraternal organizations are likewise taking active steps, through their executive heads, to organize subsidiary campaigns among their own members, and otherwise co-operating with Mr. Scott. M. C. N. M. Daniels, State Grand Secretary of the Alabama jurisdiction of the Masonic Lodge, has written as follows: "I wish to say in reply that I immediately took the matter up with State Grand Master W. T. Woods of Mobile, asking him to name the first monthly communication in May of each subordinate lodge in the State as Memorial Day for Dr. Washington, and that I be allowed to issue a circular informing them of the Grand Master's request, and calling upon the lodges to contribute on this day to the fund, sending the same direct to Mr. Logan, treasurer of Tuskegee Institute." A similar circular has been prepared by State Grand Master Andrew W. Dungey of Lansing, Michigan, and will be sent to members of the Masonic fraternity, of the State of Michigan. "I shall issue a direct appeal to all the lodges in the jurisdiction asking them to contribute to the fund as liberally as they possibly can," writes Mr. Dungey. Local campaigns in which the colored newspapers are taking the forward part and publishing each week the names of contributors and their amounts are being conducted by Mr. W. P. Kemp, Editor of the Detroit Leader, and Mr. F. E. Washington, Editor of the Citizen, Pensacola, Fla. Thus with fraternal organizations, churches, and newspapers all working in harmony for its success, the campaign is shaping itself for a vigorous effort to raise the $$250,000 as the colored people's part of the Memorial Fund. NATIONAL NEWS NOTES. Brief Bits of News and Comment on Men and Women. EDISON AT 69 TALKS OF FOOD, DRINK, AND, WORK Orange, N. J—Thomas A. Edison celebrated his 69th birthday by doing just what he has done almost every day of his life, and the thing he likes most to do. He worked hard. He gave himself over to the newspaper men for just a few minutes, but two things were tabooed—politics and the navy. That is to say, he refused to go into details about either of these interesting things. Here is what the wizard has to say about eating: "Cut your food down to one-third or one-fourth of what you have been eating. I eat three meals a day. That's habit, and nothing else. But I eat a quarter of what the average man does. I know it because I see it at my own table." Prohibition is a subject that always interests Mr. Edison. He is opposed to strong drink, but not to beer, and the lighter beverages. Man isn't perfect, yet, he says, and you cannot take alcohol away from his all at once. If you do he'll resent the act. Beer has 4 per cent alcohol, while whiskey is almost wholly alcoholic. His solution of the vexed question apparently is that whisky, gin, and heavy beverages should be suppressed. Beer and the lighter-wines, he seems to feel, would not cause the vexatious disturbances that have almost caused anarchy in some parts of the country. It has often been a mooted question as to why cleavage should not be established as between the heavy, alcoholic products of the distiller and made from barley, hops and grapes. Public opinion would readily seek a solution of the whole question along Edisonian lines if this cleavage were established, if not wholly removed, by some such action as Mr. Edison advocated on his 69th birthday, namely, a slight reduction in the alcoholic content of beer and the lighter beverages. As usual, Edison leads the way. When Prof. Layton died, it seemed to me that one of the bright stars was plucked from the sky. It was my pleasure to meet him twice, but he left an indelible impression on my mind. There are many of us weak mortals who, when we reach a point in any walk of life that Prof. Layton reached in music, consider ourselves above the average. The first time I had the pleasure of meeting him, he was sitting on the porch of his home with an old pipe in his mouth. The thought came to me when he gave me a warm shake of the hand, here is LEGAL NOTICES. JOSEPH H. STEWART, ATTORNEY. In the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia. Thomas E.

There has been a great deal of activity among local politicians relative to the election of delegates and alternate delegates to the coming National Republican Convention. A great deal of money has been spent unnecessarily for all kinds of refreshments and for personal services. Some of the advocates of the republican ticket have been calling each other thieves and drunkards, for what reason The Bee is unable to state. All of the contestants for delegates with but one exception have supported the republican party. One man remarked in a speech that certain other men were thieves and ought to be in the penitentiary, and it was but a few days thereafter this same individual and member of the bar was arrested and carried to No. 6 precinct and had it not been for the kindness of another attorney, this advocate of good morals would today be serving a term at Occoquan. "The most unkindest cut of all," the ten dollars that was deposited by the brother lawyer has not been paid. It seems to The Bee that it is unnecessary for republicans to fight among themselves. We have had enough of division in the party already and this mud slinging will help no one. The Bee is too charitable to give the pedigree of the individual who in a public meeting denounced two representative republicans as thieves and ought to be in the penitentiary. There may be four tickets in the field and unless the republicans on certain tickets have been regular, they are not entitled to the support of the republican voters. Let the contest be friendly and the merit of each candidate for delegate be known. It is a very easy matter for the republicans in the District of Columbia to decide who is most deserving, who has done the most for them and after a fair comparison cast his vote. UNITED RUPUBLICAN CLUBS. On the front page of The Bee this week will be read with interest the report of the meeting of the Executive Committee of the United Republican Clubs. This is a mixed organization of white and colored republicans, who will launch their ticket at Grand Army Hall, Tuesday evening, April. This club is composed of republicans who have never bolted the party or its principles. The ticket that will be launched by these organizations will be composed of men who have been identified with the republican party for years and who have never deemed it wise to desert its standard bearer. All republicans who are in sympathy with the United Republican Clubs and the principles of the republican party prior to and since 1912 are invited to be present. Of course, all republicans are invited who will support the candidates for delegates and alternate delegates that will be named by these clubs and other republican organizations that are in accord and sympathy with the United Republican Clubs. Speakers of national reputation and local orators will be present, and speak on this occasion. One of the greatest orators on this occasion will be Ex-Judge Arthur B. Haves. Also Attorney Charles S. Williams, one of the best orators and lawyers at the local bar, and others whose names will be announced later. The Editor of The Bee wants to emphasize what he published last week, that the Catholic Church is doing more for the colored Americans in this city than any other denomination. In all of their institutions the sisters are liberal and kind. The Bee has advocated and urged colored Americans to join the Catholic Church if they want protection. This church protects her people. The Catholic Church has never advocated a separation of her members. Can we say as much of other denominations among white people? Some few years ago, the white southern Presbyterian Church advocated a separation of their church from the colored. Have we colored Bishops in every Methodist Connection? We have colored priests and colored sisters of the highest culture. The Bee declines to publish the communication on the Catholic Church, and if there was an inclination to publish, The Bee would decline to do so. A person who is too cowardly to sign his name to an article is not entitled to any consideration. The Bee is a friend to the Catholic Church, and the Catholic people because both are doing far humanity what their critics are not doing and The Bee wants it understood that it doesn't subscribe to any criticism that has been on the church. HOWARD UNIVERSITY. Dr. Edward Williston, a candidate on the Moose ticket, is connected with Howard University Medical School. It seems to The Bee that this institution should not be brought into politics when the appropriation is made by democrats and republicans. He should resign as a teacher in the medical school, which is connected with Howard University. Then there is our only colored bank in which all sides make their deposits and it would seem to The Bee that the president of that bank should be neutral if he expects the support of all factions for his bank. No one objects to him voting as he feels, but he should not be a partisan. Men who are canvassing for their respective tickets and who attack the morals of other men should be clean themselves. The Bee sends this warning to these sham orators to cease their personal attacks upon republicans before The Bee gives their pedigrees. OMAHA REPUBLICANS OMAHA REPUBLICANS. The Bee endorses the appeal that is being made by the Colored republicans of Nebraska, seen in a letter elsewhere in this week's issue. The people throughout the United States have confidence in the Bee, as will be seen by the letters received by its Editor. The Bee is a paper for the people and republican in politics. It has never bolted, the party, but remained always with its ranks and thrashed out party differences and its short comings. The Bee has found no party like the republican, with but one exception, and that is the New York Tamany. This organization knows no man by his color, although it is democratic. As a party the republican party is the party for the Colored American as an individual. Tamany of New York knows no color in its politics. Read the Omaha letter to the Editor. THE BEE The Baptist Leader, Feb. 18th, and october 1st, you. J. Franklin Robbins, editor. "We wish to serve notice on our learned friend; the erudite editor of The Washington, D. C., Bee, that he is radically wrong when he accuses Birmingham Negro-editors as being "Hand-Picked" and "Trimmers," be cause he and the editor of the Voice of the People, have fallen out. We demur from that wholesale indictment. The Leader is in accord with The Bee in what he has said about the hand-picked editors or leaders; we want no more, of such. The argument of The Bee against them and it has said about them in his "Hand-Picked editorial" meet our approval and if The Bee has read as carefully the Leader editorials as the Leader editor has read the Bee's, then he would have been careful to make the distinction. We always have the courage of our convictions and equally the courage to express them whether they work for or against us. With us "Right is right since God is right," and Right the day must win! Major Moton becomes the principal of Tuskegee Institute and not the leader of the race, we have said this 'before and now reiterate it. The people had no voice in the choice of the principal of Tuskegee; if they had that right and privilege then Hampton would not have been robbed of her trainer of boys. The Leader's choice was Emmet J. Scott, or young Booker T. Jr. "Oh, no, Bro. Chase, we are not all hand-picked down here and don't you believe it." The Bee doesn't include the able editor of the Baptist Leader with that anologist of The Voice of the People. The Leader doesn't belong to that class. MR. HOGÁN'S SPEECH. The members of Mt. Carmel Baptist Church was sensationalized last week by the speech of J. Frank Hogan, the Moose candidate for delegate. Ask those who heard him what he said. The Bantist ministers, it is reported, are indignant. FISK JUBILEE SINGERS. Metropolitan Church, M street, Tuesday evening; March 7, Admission 35 and 50 cents. See placards and posters. PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS (By the Sage of the Potomac). I was "coagitating" to myself a few evenings ago while supping one of Robert Allen's highballs. You know that is one of the up-town political desecting parliars where the near-statesmen congregate for desection. A near statesman from "Virginia" resigned and died. Williston is mighty clever fellow and just why he allowed himself to be schiebed for slaughter I don't know. The last time I saw him he assured me that he had better sense than enter this "handcap." But, I see that his weakness has gotten the control of his better judgment. You know, when you allow those bankrupts to fool you as many of them fooled the people, you must suffer the consequences. Has it ever occurred to you that the personal of the Moose supporters are weak individuals? The boys have ceased working and are now walking to headquarters where money is floating. I remember when Rayburn and Lee floated greenbacks and that cut silver coin by the hundred, but they remained at home. The Washington politician is different from all other politicians. They never stay hitched. They pass right along and as long as the money holds out you will find him at the cash counter. Do you know what "skimming" is? It is that substance that floats upon a bolling or any other kind of substance. The solid remains at the bottom. If you would only watch a few of these political meetings you will find upon investigation that the real people have not made their appearance as yet. You will see the difference. I was talking with Dr. Sum Wormley a few days ago and he said the hawks tried to persuade him to enter this contest. O not said the Adonis of the truth. "I can see some distance," said Doc. "and too far in the future for me to enter danger." A similar invitation was extended in 1912 but the same crowd persuaded him not to run. It was a sure thing then, but a very doubtful one now. I see that my old friend continues to give out his false notions concerning the political situation in town. Take it from me, the right ticket is not yet in the field. I never believed the report that was recently circulated that Andrew J. Thomas was suffering from a weak heart. Dr. Beckley diagnosed Mr. Thomas' aliment and the result was that there was no occasion for fear; the Venus is yet in the back-ground and Andrew continues to "ripple." I attended a whist circle a few days ago and it was remarked that there was one lady who has a bait bottled up and the moment the fastidious manager of the Howard Theater "nipples" he will be caught. My friend Byers had an idea that he was foxy to give fishing a thought. The boys quickly informed him that he would be caught within less than six months from the date of his dive. Was he caught? Yes, head and body. This fishing Club continues to grow. The hardest fisherman is Jack Collins, the silent man. Jack doesn't do much talking. His fishing days are quick over now and he has concluded to go into the packing business. There was a good moral to the play at the Howard last week. Billy King, Kirkpatrick, Owlsley and others make a good time. My friend, Andrew J. Thomas, is putting on some stunts. Returning to politics again, I see that any old time a Hogan and Williston rooter takes into his head that he wants an endorsement, he just sits down and resolves to himself, elects his officers, endorses a ticket and carries it to the paper. There should be a law enacted prohibiting fake news. While peramubulating through the District building a few days ago, I ran upon that old veteran official, Dr. Wm. Tinsdale, who was unceremoniously given the ticket of transfer. There are two men who ought to be vindicated when an opportunity presents itself, Dr. Tinsdale and Col. Rethy. If there ever were two good men, they are the persons. The latest report is that President Wilson will name a white man recorder of deeds in a few days. Just who he will be the Sage doesn't know. The poor colored clerks in this particular branch of the government is sailing upon rough water. Did you hear of Ralph Tylier? Did you hear of Ralph Tylier? Open your eyes and read the signs of the times. Ohio must show to the world that colored republicans have rights that some people must respect. Mr. Tyler is a candidate for delegate-at-large. My friend, Charlie Andrews, should have made a similar move. The coming change in the board of education will make a few changes in the personnel of the superintendent's office. Don't get it into your head that everything is serene. Dr. W. Bruce Evans will win in his fight. The decision will be handed out in a few days. THE CHIDREN'S BUREAU AND BABY WEEK. Julia C. Lathrop, Chief, Children's Bureau. "Is Baby Week the business of a Government Bureau?" The observing taxpayer is perhaps asking this question. Ever since last October when the General Federation of Women's Clubs announced its plans, an increasing proportion of the Bureau's office force has been detailed to the correspondence requiider by the growing interest in the nation-wide observance of Baby Week. The sociologist and the statistician will remind us that the Bureau was created to make investigations pertaining to the welfare of children and that Baby. Week is not an investigation and is not statistics. To all these groups we are accountable. What is our reply? For the three years the Bureau has been in existence it has put a considerable share of its energy into a statistical study of the social and economic causes of infant mortality, planned with the greatest care and conducted by trained field agents with all possible precision. The results of this inquiry are being published, as the law requires, in a series of reports which consist of statistical tabulations accompanied by descriptive text. There are many million fathers and mothers in the United States, including many of the best educated fathers and mothers, who have never read a statistical table and never will. Yet hidden within the figures of the Bureau's reports on infant mortality, the reading of which they will successfully evade, lie stern facts about the dangers which beset American babies. These figures give a clue to the reasons why, on the great average, one baby in eight dies before the end of the first year of life. They show that this average obscures a wide gamut with comparative immunity from infant loss at one end and with fearful infant waste at the other. If the Bureau is to investigate and to report as the law directs, them it must try to find ways of reporting which will be heard by the whole public which it was created to serve. The popular methods of the Baby Week, which are those of all astute advertisers, from an invaluable method of reporting to the parents of this nation those standards of infant welfare which experts are endeavoring to make clear. The Baby Week emphasizes the conservative site of infant care. It addresses not only individual parents but communities. The best test of its value will be the work that follows it: Undoubtedly every state board of health should secure what only six states have at present—a special division of child hygiene. No city or town should fail to provide instructive nursing service and to pay constant heed to the problems of hygiene and sanitation, of proper housing and of recreation suaces, since all these immediately affect the welfare of infants. There are 3,009 counties in the United States. In every county seat there should be a center for the health work of that county—a station for examining babies, and older children, and for furnishing expert advice for keeping them well—in short, a health teaching center. We must have complete birth registration. All these will be institutions for the common use—no more revolutionary, no more eleemosynary, than public schools and weather bureaues and agricultural experiment stations. The New Zealand infant mortality is less than one-half of ours and is being further reduced. Why take less pains for American babies than New Zealand takes? Miss Ada E. Chestnut entertained at a delightful oyster supper last Saturday evening in honor of Rev. Mary E. Taylor and Miss Norma S. Redman, of Nykers, N. Y., the house guest of Miss Chestnutt's mother. Among those present were the members of the Wistarlic Art Circle, namely: Misses Florence and Isabel Rawles, Mrs. Dr. Tolson, Miss Henrietta Johnson and Miss A. E. Chestnut. ROBERT CARROLL Sergeant Detective Robert Carroll, who was suspended for conduct unbecoming an officer and recommended for dismissal, took an appeal to the commissioners who recommitted the case to the same board and after another investigation and trial, Sergeant Detective Carroll was acquitted. The Bee in the first place maintained that the evidence in the first trial didn't warrant a conviction. The same facts were brought out by Attorney Fountain Peyton as were brought out in the second trial by Attorney Lambert. So ridiculous was the case of the prosecution that the defense was instructed not to put on any testimony. Sergeant-Carroll is one of the ablest men in the police department and the appointee of Judge Sldons, who had charge of the police department at the time of his appointment. The people never believed the charge in the first place and The Bee maintained that the trial was not trial fully vindicated the contention of The Bee and people. NEW LAURELS. Amphionis Take New Laurels in Baltimore, Md.-Contest of Glee Clubs. Baltimore, Md., Feb. 23.—The well-known Amphion Glee Club has the distinction of having been awarded first prize in the contest between glee clubs in Baltimore and Washington at an affair given for the benefit of the Y. M. C. A., of Baltimore, S. S. Booker, secretary; February 28th. The contest was spirited, but at no time were the interests of the home club in jeopardy, for their work was the acme of precision, and Mr. J. Henry Lewis was given quite an ovation to which he responded in his most happy vein. The judges were Pickens of Morgan College, Miss Guy, directress of music in the Baltimore public schools; and Mr. R. W. Thompson. The affair was given in Trinity M. E. Church, which was crowded to its utmost capacity. SUDDEN DEATH. Thomas Milton Byrd, a Native of this City, Died on His Way to Milton. Thomas Milton Byrd died suddenly in Rochester, N. Y., Saturday, Feb. 26, 1916. Mr. Byrd was employed as a reporter for the Evening Times of Rochester for the past six years, and was on his way home from there in apparent good health when he dropped to the sidewalk and died a few moments later. He is survived by a wife, a mother, two brothers, and two sisters—Mrs. Margaret F. Byrd, Mrs. Margaret E. Byrd, Douglas, Frederick, Elizabeth and Alice Byrd. Funeral services was held at the family residence, 1527 Kingman place northwest. EASTER IS COMING. The 20th Annual Foreign Mission Easter Programs are now ready for sandy Schools.

Doris jumped off his knee with the exclamation, "Something for me?" "Yes, something nice," said Strickland, and the two walked to the table 1 "Oh, daddy, isn't he beautiful?" on which Doris had deposited her father's traveling bag. As Strickland opened the catcher Doris clambered upon a chair in her impatience to see the gift. "When Strickland opened the top of the bag the little girl peered within. She thrust her hand into the opening and drew out a revolver, which she held dangling from one hand. "Oh, what's this shiny thing?" the child exclaimed. In evident flight Strickland took the weapon from the child and dropped it into the bag. "That's a revolver," he said, "and don't you ever dare touch it!" Then he reached into the bag and drew out a large doll, wrapped in paper. Unwrapping it, he said: "There, what do you think of that?" Doris took the doll. "Oh, daddy, isn't he beautiful? What shall we call him?" In mock meditation Strickland put his hand to his forehead and appeared to be thinking deeply. "W-e-l-l," lie said slowly, "as he came from Germany, suppose we call him Herman?" Before Doris could accept the Germanic name for her new doll Bertha appeared in the room and said to Strickland, "Mr. Trask is here." It was plainly to be seen that the visitor was welcome to Strickland. He forgot even Doris for a moment and turned eagerly to the servant, saying: "Oh yes. Bring him right in." CHAPTER IX. BERTHA left, and in a few moments Gerald Trask, financier, wealthy man in his own right, the friend of Robert Strickland who had lifted him out of his financial difficulties and had made it possible for him to recover after he had made a disastrous failure of his recent business undertakings, entered the room. Enemies of Trask said that he could conceal more cold, bloodedness and ruthless purpose beneath a mask of cordiality than any other man in New York; even such few friends as he had found him cold. It required no keen student of physiognomy to see that this man was centered in self; that the very keynote of his character was self-selftness; that he would pursue his own ends over any obstacle, whether those ends were business or personal. Ket Gerald Trask could conceal evil purposes beneath a smiling exterior when necessary. It had been remarked of him in the "street" that he could meet with a financial opponent at a directors' table and profess friendship within a few minutes after planning that opponent's utter ruin. Men marveled at the friendship, seemingly reil, true and firm, which existed between Gerald Trask and Robert Strickland. The former was the cunning, ferocious financial war, avid of gain and pleasure and ruthless in his methods of pursuing his ends. The latter was frankly domestic and as open of countenance as he was direct and straightforward in his ways. Anything hidden or treacherous was allan to his nature. He acted, frequently to his detriment, on impulse, and no man could say that Robert Strickland ever deliberately planned to harm him. His nature was that of the trustful soul who will cleave to a friend until that friend proves himself false beyond question. When occasion came he could strike, and strike hard, but it took much to rouse him to the point of anger. Men instinctively liked Strickland just as they naturally disliked and mistrusted Trusk. Often attempts had been made to warn the former against the latter, but he had bridled at the first suggestion of such a thing, saying that Trusk had proved his friendship and that be, Strickland, would listen to no word against his friend. And Trask? Until the very end it was a mystery why he maintained his cordiality toward, Strickland. He had nothing to gain from him in a financial way, because Strickland's dealings in recent times had not punned out well, and he had had to call upon Trask for assistance. Socially Trask's position was as high as Strickland's, so the motive of social advancement was lacking. Perhaps Trask recognized in Strickland the possession of qualities lacking in his own character and was attracted thereby according to the law of the attraction of opposites. Perhaps there was another reason. On the night of June 24 Trask entered the living room of the Stricklands with a cheery "Hello, Bob!" "Hello, Jerry. How are you?" And the two men clasped hands. "Fine!" said Trask. "Just get back?" "Yes, about fifteen minutes ago. Everything is arranged. Oh, by the way, you haven't met Doris, have you? Doris, shake hands with Mr. Trask. The little ceremony, of introduction over and Doris having shaken hands shyly with Mr. Trask, the latter saw the big doll in the little girl's arms. "Hello," he said, "who is this?" "This is Herman," said Doris, and Trask shook hands gravely with the doll, saying, "How do you do, Herman? How do you like America?" Then Trask turned to Strickland with the question: "So everything's all right, Bob?" "Yes. I made very favorable terms with the Briggs people." "When do you begin?" "In a few weeks. I bought a crackerjack house." "You'll leave soon, then?" "Yes. You got my wire, of course. I want to take up that note." With a smile, which he intended to make as kindly as possible, Trask replied: "Can you make it? If you can't spare it"— "Thanks all the same, but I want to pay it." "I don't mind holding off for a few months. That $10,000 won't put me out of business." "No," said Strickland, the muscles of his jaws tightening for a moment. "I don't want to leave any debts behind me. I thought I might have to ask for an extension, but I managed to scrape it together. The Briggs people helped me out." "Well, you may need it, anyhow," said Trask. "I'll wait until you get on your feet." Strickland shook his head. "Thanks Jerry, but I want to wipe it out. I'll feel easier." "All right, just as you like. Here's the note." And Trask took the document from his money case while Strickland reached into his inside coat pocket and took out a small hat packet of bills. "And here's your money," said Strickland. There was surprise on Trask's face and in his voice as he said: (Continued PARAGRAPHIC NOTES Sharks are looking for other victims. If the Riggs Bank is behind the Hogan ticket, there are plenty to take the coin. American citizens should keep off belligerents' ships, and then there would be no cause for war with Germany. The politician who declared that another was a thief and should be in the penitentiary, was arrested for being drunk and disorderly, and a brother lawyer, who is always magnanimous and more loyal to his fellow associates than they are to him deposited ten dollars at No. 6 precinct, before he was released. The ten dollars has not been returned to the magnanimous brother of Blackstone. The Editor of The Eagle is looking for another ticket to endorse. The Eagle has deserted the Bradshaw-Marshall ticket. The people's ticket will be launched Tuesday, April. The near statesmen have quit work, especially a few colored lawyers. President Wilson is commended for keeping out of war. There is no truth in the statement made by Hogan that Mr. Miller applied for a position under the democratic administration. Aaron Bradshaw is reported as saying that he will receive 95 per cent of the colored vote. That will leave only 5 per cent to be divided between the united republican clubs, the Blaine Invincibles, and kindred other organizations whose membership far exceed the strength of the Hogan-Williston ticket, the Bradshaw-Marshall ticket, and the Miller ticket.

The Howard University basketball team was defeated by the Alpha Physical Culture Club of New York, at Manhattan Casino, by a score of 28 to 19 February 22. The game was the fastest game played in the Manhattan Casino this year and although the Alpha team outwheighed the Howard team 20 pounds to the man, the game was closely contested. The score at the end of the first half was 17 to 7 in favor of the Alpha team, but in the second half Howard made 12 to Alpha's 11 points and had Howard been able to make half of the goals at which they shot the score would have been much closer. Wiggins and Dash played very well for the Alpha team, the latter making 8 field baskets. Holland and Miles both played a great game, Holland starring by his wonderful team work and passing, and Miles by his ability to cage baskets, making 17 out of Howard's 19 points. Taylor played up to his usual form and Miller played exceptional good ball for a player of his size, weighing only 107 pounds. The Howard team repeatedly brought the ball from one end to the other, but were unable to make baskets after this wonderful exhibition of team work. Holland was disqualified in the middle of the second half on account of personal fouls and his absence was greatly felt by the team especially his generalship and team work. This was one of the best games played in the Manhattan Casino this season and although the Howard team has several new players and have not had the opportunity of playing together for any considerable length of time, it promises to be one of the strongest teams next season. Score: Howard: Miller, R. F.; Miles L. F.; Taylor, C.; Nutt, (Capt.) R. G.; Holland, L. G. Alpha: Dash, (Capt.) R. F.; Wigins, L. F.; Goode, C.; Capers, R. G.; Thomas, L. G. Substitutions: Davis for Holland; Wiseman for Miller; Roane for Thomas. Reference: Lush; ampire and timer, O'Shea; scorer, Prof. E. P. Davis. Score: Alpha, 28; Howard, 19. PHILADELPHIA "BIG Y" WINS BIG VICTORIES. Y. M. C. A. Defeats Cardinals and Clergents The southwest branch "Big Y" basketball team is moving to the top in basketball realms. They feel pretty strong now since their two triumphs over the fast Atlantic City Crescent Club. Their recent defeat of Lincoln University and the famous Cardinal "Machine" of Washington, D. C., which broke up Madden's Incorporators of New York. The most thrilling game of the season was the Cardinal-Hawatha contest. A record crowd attended and the enthusiasm was tremendous. Both teams played a clean, skillful game. This happened February 19th. Capt. Johnson of the "Machine" felt confident of winning, but before the game was many minutes old, he discovered the strength of his opponents, and soon became alarmed. At the end of the first half the "Y" was thread by three points, but Coach W. H. Alken took out Cherry, the "Ys" tall center, and ran in Moore, a shorter but faster man. The "Y" kept the lead until the finish, and despite the valiant struggles of the "Machine" to nose out, they defeated the visitors by the score of 31-29. The Crescent Club lost to the "Big Y" on February 26th, by the large score of 37-15. The next hard struggle for honors will be with the Alpha "Big Five" of New York city, March 4th. Mr. C. P. Blackburn, of Temple University, the official referee for Y. M. C. A., has established a fine reputation for efficiency and fair dealing. The "Big Y's" regular lineup follows: Willis, (Capt.) Trent, Moore, Griffin, Halney, Cherry and Simmons, (sub). Note—Southwest Branch lays claim to the basketball championship of Philadelphia (colored) but is willing to play St. Peter's in the third ("Big Y") he sent two challenges to Claver's season and Claver's manager has been interviewed, yet they hesitate to play. Before the season closes it it is hoped that these teams will meet. The excellent control that is established over the "Big Y's" men this season insures a clean, high-class game, as every local fan knows. MRS' A. J. SMITH.

Teachers' and Government Employees' Work Especially Solicited. O. F. N. Madden, Mgr. Phone Lincoln 2400 Anacostia, D. C. work, so he played around the city streets instead of doing his duty as a school boy. He always said that he did not want to go to school, and especially was he emphatic in this when his brothers and sisters had completed their education and had found no positions in life for the use of their knowledge which they had gained in school. Now John thought of these matters, and being a boy of suitable energy he thought of others means of making a livelihood. He would do chores around the stores, act as errand boy around the homes of wealthy people, and in course of time he landed in a shoe store with the idea of being a shoemaker, and, entering in, putting his wits together, he by leaps and bounds reached the respectable vocation of a shoemaker. At one time John was located in Philadelphia, having his own shoeshop, and doing business for himself like other men. Then he carried on the same business in other cities, finally locating in the great city of Boston. It is well known that Boston has a great many people who are very friendly towards men of his race, and it was not long before John had a fine lucrative employment as foreman of a shoe factory employing eighteen or twenty men. It was a bright day to John when his employer told him that he was thinking of placing the shop in his (John's) hands while he was way away from the right day or evening. John found himself facing some eighteen or twenty employees; and said employees all being of the white race. Surely John must have thought that he had reached the height of his ambition. Well, things went on for several days. John handled the men and conducted the business with much skill and satisfactory results. Soon, however, a cloud appeared, and that cloud was in the form of a well organized plan to elect John from the plant, and throw John and his bossism feeling through the window out into the street. John heard the news that he was to be ejected, and with a very sensible plan in his mind he proposed that one of the members of the employers come forward and take his position. That was a blow struck and saved John from total annihilation. John remained, but not in the position in which the proprietor had left him. It was surely a fiery narrow escape. After some time the master returned, and in inquiry rebuked John his backing down, but with good grace said that the situation could not have been helped; and in order to show John that he was a friend of his, he would establish him in business in the city of Boston for himself. That was another bright day for John. The only thing that he had to do was to get a bond for two thousand dollars for fitting up a first-class store. Securing bond from a security company, John found himself a few weeks later a full-fledged proprietor of a shoe store already for business. To the credit, of John it must be said that the store was a success for several years, and John bought and sold shoes as a veritable Boston shoe man. Just about that time the news of the war with Spain went ringing around the world. The people of Boston were patriotic, and the cry of war did not fall upon deaf ears. The people in the section where John had his store were patriotic, and things began to undergird a great change. One day a gentleman walked into the store and made him a proposition, offering to give him twenty-seven hundred dollars for his stock; that is, John said, would give dollar for dollar. "No," said John, "I will keep the store; it is worth that to me if it is worth that to other people." That is where John blundered. That's where he lost his opportunity. He refused the offer and continued the business, but with no success, for in less than six months he had lost his trade, his credit, and money. John was a bankrupt. Like others that have gone into business and have not grasped the precious moment of success, John lost its opportunity. REV. JERNAGIN. Rev. J. H. Jernagin, pastor of Mt.

Vigorous Campaign Well Under Way —Typical Responses Being Made To Appeal. Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, Feb. 19. It would be extremely difficult to measure the value and service of a life like that of the late Booker T. Washington crowded into it. So many influences radiated from the Tuskegee Institute that there are few who did not in some way feel the effect of his forceful personality. This thought has been suggested by two letters which came to the Tuskegee Institute almost the same day: one from Jacksonville, Florida, and the other from Durham, North Carolina. Both of these letters were from business men and one of them traces his success in business directly to Dr. Washington, while the other frankly suggests that the National Negro Business League, which was fathered by his genius and fostered at Tuskegee, has been an important contributing element in the success of many business enterprises. He further urges that support to the Memorial Fund is a fitting way for business men to exhibit their appreciation for the inspiration which they have received. The letter from Mr. C. H. Anderson, a well-known business man of Jacksonville said, in part: "Since November 14th, I have hardly been able to transact my business for Dr. Washington was very largely responsible for such success as I now enjoy and his death has shocked and stunned me. For instance, when I was about to start my business, I could not see my way ahead in certain matters and wrote him for advice * * * The answer he sent helped me so much and doubled my determination to succeed." This letter is a real human interset story. Mr. Anderson has personally subscribed $250 towards the Fund. The letter from Durham, North Carolina, was from Mr. C. C. Spaulding, general manager of the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association. After describing his own feeling of personal loss over the death of Dr. Washington, Mr. Spaulding an nounces that the executives of his company have decided to give a contribution of $250 in the name of the Association, and that an additional $250 has been subscribed by the citizens of Durham, with an additional $500 probably in sight. The North Carolina Mutual, through Mr. Spaulding, has sent the following letter to the "Agents of the North Carolina Mutual Association: "The Late Dr. Booker T. Washington was responsible in a large degree for the establishment of many of the business enterprises now operated by the colored people. He spent his useful life trying to give encouragement along this line and it is the duty of every Negro and especially the Negro in business to contribute liberally to the two million dollar fund which is to be raised as a memorial to our great lamented leader. Mr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary of the Tuskegee Institute, has been appointed to raise $250,000 from among the colored people and I do not think a greater tribute can be paid to the memory of Dr. Washington than for us to get busy and assist Mr. Scott in raising this amount. Our company is going to lead off with a donation, as well as the individual gifts of the officers of the company and we-want you as a representative citizen in your community, to take the lead in this movement by interesting individuals, churches, secret societies and other Negro organizations. I hope the men who make up our agency force will be as liberal as possible in donating to this worthy cause and that you will give this matter your prompt attention. I suggest that you write to Mr. Scot at Tuskegee Institute, stating how much he can depend upon you and your townsmen to raise. I am, (Signed) C. C. SPAULDING, General Manager." General Manager. Among the other colored friends who have subscribed $100 or more are Mr. Charles Banks, of Mound Bayou, Mississippi; Bishop W. Clinton, of Charlotte, North Carolina; Madame C. J. Walker, of Indianapolis; and Pro. George W. Carver and Mr. W. V. Chambliss of Tuskegee, each of whom has subscribed $500. The spirit shown by these representative friends is typical of the spirit, being exhibited by colored people throughout the country, and if their example in giving is followed by business men, business organizations, and colored citizens generally, the fund of $250,000 now being sought from the colored people, will be speedily raised.

Austin, of Knoxville, one of the two republican members of the House from Tennessee, is in a militant mood regarding the Chicago convention. He presents the suggestion that the Southern states will play politics in the republican convention and trade votes for patronage. "I want to say that the Southern states will send the finest set of men to the Chicago convention that ever has been sent from any section of the country," said Col. Austin, at the Shoreham.

But we do not need, nor do we want any missionaries representing any candidates coming into our states and telling us which candidate we ought to vote for. We are entirely capable of thinking for ourselves, and we believe we have the intelligence to act for the best interests of the republican party, without having outsiders instructing us as to the qualifications of this or that candidate. The Southern delegates at Chicago are not going to be traded, nor are they going to be pledged by anybody to any candidate. They are going to do what they think is best for the republican party and the nation, and they will be guided largely, no doubt, by the adylic of the leaders of the republican states.

Faithful St. Stephen—His Eloquence and Zeal For God and Truth Stirred His Enemies—They Hated Him For the Qualities They Should Have Admired. "Be thou faithful unto death, and I will pice thee a crown of life."—Revelation 2:10. TRICTLY speaking, our Lord Jesus was the first Christian martyr; but the first of His followers to endure death because of loyalty in preaching the Gospel of Jesus was St. Stephen, one of the seven elected Deacons. Seemingly he was a man of great power and a lover of the Truth, highly estimated because of his purity of character and life. History says that at that time there were four hundred and sixty synagogues in Jerusalem. It is supposed that St. Stephen had formerly been attached to one of these, and had gone thither to urge upon his associates the Message that Jesus was the Messiah. It has been assumed, with apparently good reason, that Saul of Tarsus attended the same synagogue, and was one of the disputants over whom St. Stephen, by the Lord's grace, seem St. Stephen's Dejense debated to have an advantage in these debates. Thus bitter feeling was aroused. To the Jewish rulers this Message respecting Jesus as the Messiah and a Jewish responsibility for His death and respecting God's favor in raising Him from the dead was a gross error, which was likely to arouse a popular spirit of resentment against themselves as rulers and to be subversive of all law and government in Palestine. Indeed, these Christians claimed that because of this rejection of Jesus the Jewish nation had been rejected from God's favor, and that dire calamities were coming. St. Stephen's second battle was the one which preceded his death. The Sanhedrin, angry with him, suborned witnesses—bribed men to make complaint, charging him with having blasphemed, with having declared Moses and the Law obsolete, with declaring that the Temple was no longer God's Temple. These witnesses had put together certain isolated sayings of St. Stephen which, thus patched up, made the truth appear false, blasphemous. St. Stephen's Defense. After these paid witnesses had given their testimony, charging blasphemy—the penalty for which was stoning—the Sanhedrin, with a show of fairness, permitted St. Stephen to reply. This he did in a masterly way, by taking up the thread of Jewish history, showing his implicit faith in God's promises to Abraham. In order manner he brought the thought of his hearers down to the time of Moses and the giving of the Law, and reminded them that Moses had said that in due time God would raise up a greater Prophet than he. (Deuteronomy 18:18, 19). This greater Prophet, he allowed them to infer, was Jesus; and since Moses had particularly referred to Jesus thus as greater, it could not be disloyalty to Moses to accept that greater Prophet. Thus, one feature of the charge was overthrown. As for the Temple, he reminded his hearers that God first established the Tabernacle in the wilderness, and later had provided the Temple in its stead. It was no disrespect to the Tabernacle for them to believe in Solomon's Temple. God had now provided that a still higher Temple should take the place of the building made with hands. The higher Temple was spiritual, to be composed of God's people, who as living stones would be builted together as a habitation of God through the Spirit. As it was not biasphemy to accept Solomon's Temple as instead of Moses' Tabernacle, neither should it be considered blasphemous to accept this higher, spiritual Temple; of which Jesus is the Foundation, as instead of the typical Temple of wood and stone. So, convincing were St. Stephen's their cause was coming out second best. It is assumed that Saul of Tarsus was a member of that Sunbedrin. They only hope now was that they could fasten upon something that St. Stephen said as their cause was coming out second best. It is assumed that Saul of Tarsus was a member of that Sanhedrin. They only hope now was that they could fasten upon something that St. Stephen said, as being blasphemous and rush him to death. The moment came. St. Stephen, preaching Christ and the blessings yet to come through Him, was radiant in face. Looking toward Heaven, he exclaimed, "Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man standing on the right hand of God." This was the signal for the Sanhedrin to raise a cry of blasphemy and to rush upon God's messenger. We may be sure that a mob was ready to follow the Sanhedrin's suggestion. Pushing Jesus' minister outside of their gates, the crowd threw their clothing at the feet of the young man, Saul of Tarsus, who thus became their authority for the stoning; and they stoned Stephen to death. This was his climax of victory—faithfulness unto death. Judge Gilbert Presents Retiring Bandmaster with Tokens of Manila Community's Esteem—Major is Deeply Affected—Impressive Ceremony on Luneta—Band Presents Leader with Beautiful Loving Cup. Special to The Bee. Manilla, Island of Luzon—In the presence of the largest assemblage ever gathered on the Luneta on an occasion of this nature, Captain Walter H. Loving, retiring bandmaster of the famed Constabulary Band, last evening conducted his last concert, at the conclusion of which he was formally presented with a handsome gold watch, suitably engraved, a platinum chain, and a purse of gold, by Judge Gilbert in behalf of the Manila community. Prior to this event he was presented with a beautiful loving cup from the members of the organization of which he has been the head and moving spirit for nearly 15 years, as a testimonial of the esteem in which he is held by the members of the band, having been displayed on the music stand during the concert. The vast crowd began to assemble long before the hour set for the farewell concert, and by six o'clock the Luneta was packed with a multitude of people, the great majority of whom stood in rapt attention until the end. The next, to the last number on the program, was Sousa's "Stars and Stripes Forever," following which Judge Gilbert mounted the steps of the bandstand, and, in his always felicitous manner, made the presentation speech and handed to Major Löving the parting remembrances. Visibly affected, Major Loving responded briefly, expressing his gratitude for the honor conferred upon him and his sincere pleasure and appreciation of the thoughtfulness and kindness of the donors. He expressed his regret in leaving the people of the Phillipine Islands and his many friends here, and especially the members of the band which he had organized over 14 years ago. He ventured the hope that he might some day return to the Islands and see all who had thus demonstrated their friendship on this memorable occasion. At the conclusion of this affecting presentation ceremony, Major Loving took up his baton; the band arose in a body, and the sweet strains of "Auld Lang Syne" were played. A moment before the, conclusion of this piece Major Loving stepped down and handed his baton to his successor, Leutenant Navarro, who finished the melodv while the retiring band master turned to the strong and bowed his appreciation of the ovation of cheers which followed. Judge Gilbert said: "Major Loving, Ladies and Gentlemen: "It is my very great pleasure to have been selected to voice for the community something of its appreciation of you and your great musical organization. Your departure at this time is a polite grief to the community. "As long as life shall endure with any of us, your name will be remembered and your achievements recalled with the keenest pleasure. You have accomplished a wonderful thing. Other men have directed great bands. But as a rule they have been able to select the best trained musicians from which to form them. You, in great measure, have trained the individual musicians who compose your organization. It has been a unique achievement. Your name and your fame are known wherever great music is heard. But more than this, you have wrought this success with a modesty which has been becoming. Again and again you have heard the plaudits of the multitude, and yet have preserved the unassuming demeanor of the really great man. All of us have seen many a man ruined by applause. Moderate success has frequently been transformed into utter failure because, to use a common phrase, one could not stand success. Not so with you. Through the years you have wrought unceasingly. Every day has brought its task, and to this task you have given your all. "You leave us now, and you leave us all your debtors. We, none of us, can hope to ever pay that debt. The burden of the toll of many a day has been lightened for us all, by the sweet strains of your music. Lives have been elevated, conduct has been rectified, souls have been strengthened, and sleep has been sweetened, because you have lived and worked among us. "There can be no better measure of a successful life than the amount of happiness that that life has brought to others. Measured thus, you have achieved a great success. No man in these beautiful islands has done more. Who has done as much?" "You are going from us. We believe to soon return. We will need you here. These men about you will need you. They know your worth. They know what you have done for them. We, the citizens, will need you. Regardless of race or color: regardless of religious or political views: regardless of station, here; how we will know you. We are selfish. We will you back. Be assured that if your health permits, we will have you back. You belong to us. Our pride in you will not permit us for long to do without you. "As inadequate as are my words is any token that the community might bestow, to show to you our affectionate record. Yet we want you to carry away some little thing as a memento of this night; not for its intrinsic worth or value, but that you may preserve in the archives of your memory the fact that here your great work was wrought. In the name of a few of your friends I am permitted to present it to you. May its use be a constant reminder of the friends you leave behind. May all life's clouds disappear. May your most heartfelt desires be granted. May you always have a large measure of the happiness you have so freely given others. God good you." Canton Loving has been granted leave of absence until February 9th and will then be retired with the rank of motor. A diner in his honor was given his the Foodmasters staff last night at Sta.

OIL COMPANY away New York City Beautiful Bust and Shoulders are possible if you will wear a scientifically constructed Bien Jolie Brassiere. The dragging weight of an unconfined bust so stretches the supporting muscles that the contour of the figure is spoiled. put the baut back where it belongs, prevent the full baut from having the appearance of fabrics inside the baut. The shape of dragging moulds and confine the flesh of the shoulder giving a graceful line to the entire upper body. They are the daintest and most serviceable garments imaginably made in all material styles. Cross Back, Hook Front, Supple, Band-cau, etc. Boned with "Walohn," the rustless boning—permitting washing without removal.
