Seated upon the stage were Judge Albert B. Hayes, Rev. S. L. Corrothers, Rev. W. H. Jernagin, Oliver A. Phelps, of Connecticut, formerly the president of the white Republican Clubs; Dr. S. G. Holmes, Dr. Albert R. Collins, Attorney C. S. Williams, Miss Ray Bell, and others.

Hewlett was the presiding officer and Dr. Samuel M. MILLER American Clubs candidate for delegate to he held in Chicago, Ill., June 7th, Pierre acted as secretary. Pierre acted as secretary. Before the meeting was called to order the celebrated Elk's Band of 40 pieces rendered many popular airs. In calling the meeting to order, Judge Hewlett, the presiding officer, called on Rev. Dr. Vaughn who offered a most fervant prayer. The first speaker introduced was Attorney Armond W. Scott who electrified the audience by his eloquence and logic. This distinguished orator discussed National isms and predicted the return of the republican party to power. His speech was full of ginger, which caused the wildest enthusiasm. Judge Arthur B. Hayes was the next speaker. He is one of the most effective and eloquent speakers in the United State. He was listened to with the greatest attention. No man in this country has greater insight or greater knowledge of existing political conditions in this country than Judge Hayes. For thirty-five minutes he REV. W. H. JERNAGIN, Pastor of Mt. Carmel Baptiste Church and One Among the Eloquent Speakers at the Republican Rattification at Grand Army all Tuesday Evening, May 4th. held that vast audience of white and colored republicans spell bound. He is the alternate on the Miller-Chase ticket. Hon. Oliver A. Phelps of Connecticut followed Judge Hayes. This speech dealt with the last democratic platform. Re. Y. H. Jernagin, pastor of Mt. Carolel Baptist Church, one of the largest churches in this city. The church of which he is pastor was formerly attended by President Wilson. Rev. Jernagin is a fine speaker and he paid a high tribute to the ticket and to Messrs. Chase and Miller personally. Robert I. Miller was next introduced. He was greeted with the wildest enthusiasm and applause. W. Calvin Chase followed and the applause that greeted him was loud and deafening: Sumner G. Holmes, of Arlington, Va., the silver tongued orator of the hills, was the next speaker, and highly endorsed the ticket. Attorney Charles S. Williams was next introduced and the scene that was exhibited during the presentation of this speech was one of the most brilliant of the evening. He opened with a religious song, "We Need Your Prayers," which was participated in by the assembly and the Elks' Band. Then he paid his respects to the enemy and concluded by asking for a rising vote for the ticket. By actual count only five persons failed to vote. Dr. Albert R. Collins; the alternate on the ticket, was next introduced, and he was followed by that invincible orator, agitator and ministerial politi- 1910 M. H. ARMOND W. SCOTT, ESQ.

Corrothers, who answered in full the reference made to him in a speech by Frank J. Hogan. Attorney P. W. Frisby was introduced and delivered one of his characteristic speeches which was loudly applauded. The greatest ratification that has ever been held by the republicans, white and colored, was held Tuesday evening at Grand Army Hall. The celebrated Elks' Band of 40 pieces rendered some of the finest musical selections that have ever been rendered by any band in the city. Miss Rachel A. Bell, of the Ft. Stevens Confederation of Colored Women, was introduced and among other REV. SYLVESTER L.

Stevens to bring greeting from her to the Capital. City and United Republican Clubs in behalf of Chase and Miller. Mrs. Thomas walked with Abraham Lincoln, and in her message, Miss Bell stated mother Thomas lost her all in defense of this republic when Ft. Stevens was threatened with invasion by the Southern confederacy. The applause at the conclusion of Miss Bell's address was enthusiastic. She was the only female to occupy a seat upon the stage, while there were several other ladies in the audience. JUDGE: ARTHUR B. HAYES. Judge A. B. Hayes is so well-known here in Washington as to need no particular introduction to the republican voters of the District of Columbia. He has made Washington his home for more than thirteen years past, having come here under appointment by President Roosevelt, as Solicitor of Internal Revenue, which position he held for five years; resigning himself in the practice of the law and has become known as one of the authorities of the country on interstate commerce law. Mr. Hayes has been a life long republican and has done campaign service for that party on the stump through many states of the Union, ever since he was 18 years of age, and it is probable that no man in THE NEW YORK TIMES is in the United States. His speech and United Republican Clubs Tuesa- lauded. W.

June 7th, 1916. Washington outside of present official life has any wider acquaintance than he. It was immediately following the nomination of Mr. Taft four years ago that Mr. Hayes made the notable speech standing on the steps of the old Riggs Hotel to a gathering of 10,000 people assembled to ratify the republican nomination. Mr. Hayes' practice requires his presence in different parts of the country which gives him a splendid opportunity to judge of the political temper of the people and upon returning from a recent professional visit to the middle west and to the New England states, expressed him self as most highly gratified at the wonderful republican sentiments which he found in all sections of the country.

The program was opened by the M Street Glee ‘Club, with Rosamond Johnson's “Southland,” and they could not have received more cordial ap- proval than’ that manifested by the audience. ; es A cornet solo by Mr. W. Calvin Chase, Jr., accompanied by Misé Bea- frice L. Chase, was-one of the fea- tures of the ‘evening, as tremendous applause’ greeted the performers at the conclusion of their number. Miss’. Edna Gordon - exhibited a marked degree of , dexterity and warmth in her piano selection, which was thoroughly. enjoyed and applaud- ed,’ following which .the mixed chorus of M Stréet High School, Miss Mary Europe, directing; brought down the house with a remarkable ‘choral: rendi- tion, which was ‘loudly applauded, Miss Europe, the eminent "pianist, presided at the piano with graceful- ness. iv The master of ceremonies, Mr. -Adams, next presented the Assistant Superintendent of Schools, R. C. Bruce, and he presented the speaker of the evening, Dr. Hamlin E: Cogs. well, director of the’ Piiblic Schools. of . the District of Columbia, and said, among other things, that the race should preserve the melodies ‘of thelr forefathers—that he had a pecullar interest’ in the musical development of his people, which-he hoped tlfey may maintain for the good of the race. ae Dr. Cogswell, the Speaker of the _ evening, was then presented amid generous applause, addressing on the announced topic, “The Ideal Teacher of Music:” Among the many. helpful thoughts the speaker advanced were that the time had come. when long hair did not any longer prove to be sign of the real musfcian;. that ‘s teacher should know, his professior thoroughly, as‘ well as other subjects foreign to.that of music; that a teach er should be.patient and exercise judg ment with a backward pupil; that “licking” a pupil for poor recital is not:a part of the riodern teacher's duties, but should find gome way to help -such pupils make a success of thefr studies; that a boastful teacher who thinks their method only is right and all others wrong, is not fit for the profession. “Dr. Cogswell particularly urged colored musicians ‘to organize .and agree not to disagree; that much good may. come to them through such an effort. He advised an early. effort along this line, because of plans for a great musical festival: which’ shall be held in-this city in the near. future that is now being launched, which will bring to the city’ the leading’ white musicians from all over the country, and that. he desited to have -colored musicians take some part in this great musical gathering, Loud ap- plause greeted the speaker at the con- clusion of his address. In response to his appeal for organized effort. Mr. Adams ‘stated he would call another meeting of colored musicians soon. especially to organize and liave him meet with them to -assist in organiz- ine. ‘which: he kindly consented to do. ‘Thus a, determined effort shall be put forth from now on to rally all colored musicians ‘together for the coniing great national musical festival.

If there isvone virtue, the ‘Editor has, it is the vespect'he has for virtuous womanhood, and:espe- cially those who dare to go‘ where others refuse to go to uplift fallen humanity.’ The treacherous © and venomous. snakes who attempt to take advantage of an accident are dangerous to theix own, breed and meénaces to society. - ‘he good sense and wisdom of cultured civilization well » know that -no gane person would’ be guil- ty of offering an- offense to one whose very name carries’ with it emblem of virtue’ atsd moral char: acter.

"Oh, I think Helen will expect us to dinner!" "By George! I never thought of that. All right. I won't go, then." There was relief in May Strickland's manner as she said: "No, don't. Besides, I dislike the idea of your being out in a boat." "All right, I'll telephone Jerry in the morning." It was bedtime now for Doris. In the manner of all children, she begged hard for "just five minutes more with daddy, please," but both daddy and mother were obdurate, insisting that a "little girl should have been in bed hours ago." After kissing them both good night Doris trotted off to bed, not, however, until Strickland had asked her to hang up his vest for him. She took her new treasure, Herman, with her, and her parting words were, "Leave the door open." Husband and wife were alone together for the first time since his homecoming. "Oh, Robert," said May, "I've read your letter a dozen times. I feel as though I knew every nook and corner of the house. I'm so anxious to go." "We'll be there soon," said Strick- land. "As soon as we can get ready; gay two weeks." "Oh, aslong as that?" "Well, ten days if you like." "Let's go next week," said May ea- gerly. "I have grown to detest New York." "But we've waited so long; a few days more or less"— "That's just it. We've waited so long that it's gotten on my nerves." CHAPTER X. "What Took You to Long Branch?" TRICKLAND looked, at her with anxiety. S "Aren't you well, dear? Doris said you weren't feeling well today." May forced a little laugh. "That child gets such queer notions in her little head. I was a trifle excited about your homecoming; that was all. It is the first time we've been separated." "Yes, and the last, let us hope." The words were spoken with the emphasis of a lover. "We'll go next week then?" asked May. "Why, it's scarcely time. There'll be some things to buy." "We can get almost everything we need when we arrive." "Still, there are always odds and ends when you're breaking up house-keeping." "That won't take long—a day or two." "You'll need a travelling dress." "I'll buy one ready made," said May. "I know you've been looking already. Doris said you were shopping yesterday," said Strickland. So Doris, thought May, has been telling her daddy already some of the things which she was directed not to reveal. How much more had the child told? But May disclosed nothing of her agitation to her husband as she replied: "Yes; I was looking for a traveling dress, but I wouldn't get anything to suit me." Strickland rose from his chair and went over to the table on which Doris had deposited the travelling bag. "Wait a minute," he said. "I've been doing a little shopping myself." And he took from the bag a package which he handed to his wife. "For me?" said May. "Yes." The gift pleased the woman, but in her mind was still uppermost the desire to get away from New York. "Oh, Robert, I'll be so glad to get away, I'll start packing tomorrow." Here entered into the lives of Robert and May Strickland and of their child Doris and of Joan and Gerald Trask and of their children and of Stanley Glover and of others a person of whom none of them knew up to that moment. He was a humble instrument of Providence, a man of lowly station. He did not know that he was to play a part in a mighty tragedy. Yet his intervention, to play the part of the fates such as was assigned to those mystic women by the ancient Greek tragedians, warped the courses of the earthly lives of many persons. His coming into the existences of the Stricklands was announced by the maid Bertha, who entered and said: "There's a Mr. Burke here to see you, Mrs. Strickland." Strickland turned to May: "Who's Mr. Burke?" "Why, I don't know." "Tell him to come in, Bertha," said Strickland. There entered into the room a man of medium height, stockily built, with an honest, open countenance which testified plainly to his Irish extraction. He was dressed very obviously in his "Sunday suit," and he seemed not quite at ease in the finery. But the coat and trousers were dusty and bore a few cinders, telling the careful observ- pt Store Gents Furnishings 14 N.W. ARTMENT STORE Set N.

Few people know how black people became of that color. The following shows how it happened: About six colored nurses with their charges were in the pavilion at the entrance to the Zoo. They were were chattering merrily about, their Mistress' instructions, and the way that they were to take care of their precious burdens trusted to their hands. Presently one little girl came up to her nurse and said: "Give me my cup. I want some water." "No," said the nurse, "you must not drink so much water." The child replied: "My mother said that I may drink all the water I want." "I am not your mother," said the nurse. This made the other nurses titter and laugh heartily. "No," said one of them, "you are not her mother because you are black and her mother is white." "Well if I am black, I will be white one day. When I was little I kept sitting in the sun for many years and that is the way I became black. This "Why, I"— "Did you know?" "Yes. I missed it last night." "But why did you pretend you didn't --- All Goods Delivered Phone North 4926 Real Values --- er that me had recently traveled in a railroad train. His first remark was addressed to May: "Are you Mrs. Robert Strickland, mum?" "Yes." "I don't like to bother you, mum"—"Sit down, Mr. Burke," said Strickland, indicating the sofa.9 "Thank you, sir. I found a purse that belongs to you, mum, I think." If Strickland's face had been turned at that moment toward his wife instead of to the stranger in his home, he could not have failed to note the agitation in her face and manner. It was with a tremendous effort that she calmed herself and said to her husband: "Robert, dear, your dinner will be ready now; you'd better go in before it gets cold." "I can wait a few minutes," said Robert. "Perhaps Mr. Burke will excuse you." she persisted. "I'll only take a minute, mum," said Burke. "I've come all the way from Long Branch." "Have you lost a purse, May?" asked Strickland. May fried to speak without concern. "Why, no! I don't think so." "Are you sure, mum?" asked Burke. "Positive," she replied. "Where did you find the purse, Mr. Burke?" asked Strickland. "On the platform of a railroad station at Long Branch last night. I'm the news agent there." "Long Branch? Then it can't be yours, May?" said Strickland. "Certainly not. Mr. Burke has evidently made a mistake." The woman's positive note brought a questioning look to the face of Burke. He answered: "There are a half a dozen cards in it, with Mrs. Strickland's name and address on them." Strickland looked curiously at his wife. "That seems strange," he said. "Perhaps one of my friends"—she began, but she could not finish the sentence. Strickland turned again to Burke. "What kind of a purse is it, Mr. Burke?" But. Burke was now more fully aroused to the situation. After all, perhaps the purse found by him did not belong to the woman before him, whose name it contained. In that case, of course, his journey from Long Branch, prompted by his innate hon- "Oh, mamma," cried the child, "you found your purse, didn't you?" "But you must sleep, dear. There's a good little girl," said the mother, leading her gently back into the bedroom. The door of the child's room was not closed. May returned to the library just as her husband reentered. He put the purse on the table. "It's strange you didn't know you lost your purse," he said. "You almost drove the man away. What made you so insistent?" "I didn't want you to think I'd been careless." There was surprise in Strickland's tone as he answered: "Oh, then you knew, you'd lost your purse?" Open from 7 to 10 Daily Sundays until 1 P.M. Honest Prices know?" "I thought you'd be angry if you knew I'd lost the purse. It was careless of me to lose it." "But, my dear girl"— "I just didn't want to worry you." Strickland laughed. "Well, I wouldn't be likely to worry about a recovered purse, would I? But how did the purse get to Long Branch? You weren't there yesterday." It seemed that Strickland expected a reply to this remark, although it was not put in the form of a query. Therefore when May remained silent he made the question more direct. "Were you?" The admission was made in a low voice—"Yes." "But you said before that you'd been shopping." "That was on account of Doris." "On account of Doris." STAND TOGETHER AGAINST WORLD, PLEA OF SPEAKER. Louisville Negro Orator Addresses a Long Audience at Donville. Large Audience at Danville. Danville, Ky., March 27.—Before one of the largest audiences that ever greeted a speaker in this section, Roscoe C. Simmonds, noted negro orator, of Louisville, spoke here Sunday. Almost one-third of the audience was composed of white people, led by Mayor J. M. Wallace. Making a plea for "white and black Americans to stand side by side against the world," the speaker's eloquence moved the audience to repeated demonstrations. "God placed us here," he said, "to be friends and not foes; to hope and pray and toil together, and together to make this continent the home of the only true republic history ever saw. We were friends in slavery, friends in war, and we are friends in peace. And when the braggart comes to assault the flag that floats above us all, my people will stand with the white man until the last foe has been driven to his grave." "The negro has a hard time," he said at one time, with that catching humor, "but he has a better time here than anywhere else in the world." "Judge me," he said, "judge me and mine by my best, not by my worst. Gaze upon the canvas of Tanner's masterpiece; listen to the harp, of Dunbar; follow the philosophy and catch that golden phrase from the lips of Douglass. Come on off Walnut street; I don't live there." No speech has ever did more good in this section, and is would be hard to get a place big enough to hold an audience if Col. Simmons should come here again. HOW SHE CAME TO BE BLACK. By Miller. TRIANGLE PRINTING CO. House & Herrmann of all kinds and description, House and Herrmann is the place to visit.
