This question has been asked and is seems that a parallel of this situation may be found in the junior and senior partners of any business house. They are both working for the interest of the firm, which we may call "The Community Development Brothers." The senior partner feels perfectly safe in trusting matters, which would require the activity of youth, to the junior partner, who, in turn, looks up to the senior partner, that he may be like him as he grows older. This is the condition which exists in all places where the Boy Scout movement has been developed and matured as it has been here. Hardly any movement in the community is felt to be complete unless the Boy Scouts have been called in. There is hardly any committee which outlines any activity without it being said, "how can the Boy Scouts help us?" Just as the senior partner would wonder of what advantage the help of the junior partner would be in working out a business problem. This close relation cannot but be beneficial to both parties. A patrol of Satterlee House Scouts assisted the National Memorial Association at their mass meeting on Sunday afternoon held at the Howard Theatre. On Sunday before Easter a number of Scouts from the "Center," with Scoutmaster Frisby, went for a long hike. They cooked and ate their lunch near Brentwood, and after playing baseball, gathered many specimens of wild vegetation for further study. They all reported a pleasant trip and hope to be able to hike often this summer. A patrol of Scouts assisted the National Memorial Association at their mass meeting held on Monday evening at Metropolitan A. M. E. Z. Church. They were commended by President F. D. Lee. The Boy Scout, "Tag Day," which was to have been held on May 1st, had to be put off until a later date because some of the particulars could not be compiled with in the short time. We hope to be ready by the 20th of May and trust that the generous public will help us to raise the amount required. It is unfortunate that more of our young men do not take an interest in the Boy Scout movement. There was a Patrol Drill Contest held at the White Lot on Saturday by the white Boy Scouts of the District of Columbia in which more than 20 patrols took part. It was very pleasant to note the amount of interest taken by men who stand very high in the community. There was an article in one of the Sunday papers which stated that there are 1,402 white Boy Scouts in the District of Columbia; 795 Tender-foots, 333 2nd class, and 142 1st class. There are 132 colored Scouts, all in the tender-foot class. If more attention was given this movement and more assistance given Scoutmasters by men qualified, instruct in the numerous branches comprised, we would soon have second class and first class Scouts. The Scoutmasters Club is increasing its membership. We meet the first and third Saturday evenings of each month at 937 R street northwest. Boy Scout Tag Day. May 20, 1916. INDEPENDENT ORDER OF ST. LUKE. Annual Thanksgiving Service Largely Attended—Rev. A. C. Garner Presides with Dignity and Precision. One of the most interesting thanksgiving meetings by the Independent Order took place in the Howard Theater last Sunday afternoon in the Howard Theater which Mr. Andrew J. Thomas donated free of cost to the order. In the absence of Commissioner Louis Brownlow, who was to have WASHINGTON, D.C., SATURDAY, MAY 6, 1916 THE AUTO PARADE COLORED SOLDIER JULIAN C.

Mr. Nesbit is one of the most accomplished and competent insurance commissioners in the United States and he is determined to see that every company under his supervision does its duty. Rev. A. C. Garner presided with dignity and the lady ushers were tastily dressed in white which added greatly plause. Miss Abbie Mitchell as Nora Rutledge was one of the most interesting characters in the play. Mr. C. Creighton Thompson was the jester of the play. He was quite clever and his acting was full of life and merriment. Mr. Andrew Bishop as Daniel Taylor, who is in the secret service, who had his office in the deputy surveyor's office in the New York Customs to the beauty of the occasion. Program.

It was a play out of the ordinary and 'Manager Andrew J. Thomas' efforts were appreciated from the size of the large audiences each evening. Every participant in this play was a high class performer. Special mention should be made of Mr. Lawrence Chenault as Steven Denby. He is a clever actor and his impersonation as a secret service detective was very natural. Mrs. Charles H. Anderson and Miss Denny George as Ethel and Amy. Cartwright elicited much ap MAJ.

ATHLETIC NOTES. By Edwin B. Henderson In the next six weeks will be crowded all of the school athletic activities of the spring. High and elementary school baseball games for various championships will begin this week. On Monday the 15th of May will be held the annual track meet of the High Schools on the Card zo School Playgrounds. Colored boys entered by various universities in the annual relay games of the University of Pennsylvania were prominent performers Saturday. From the University of Pittsburgh Jimmy Burwell ran in front, while his brother, Graham Burwell representing Syracuse University was much in evidence. Binga De桑mond was clocked by watches in the hands of coaches of several big universities in the 440 of his relay in a new world's record me of 47 3-5 seconds, although officially he was given 48 4-5, a remark- MR. JOSEPH BERBERICH, One of Washington's foremost shoe dealers, who has donated a handsome silver loving cup to the Auto Parade. HON. LOUIS BROWNLOW, Commissioner of the District of Columbia, one of the Judges for the Floral Parade. able time. Butler, the brawny sprinting giant of Michigan University, ran to a place in a blanket finish in the 100-yard event of the day. A colored boy on the Philadelphia High School team landed a national championship for his school. In a dual meet between the University of Pittsburgh and Syracuse University, the two Burwell brothers of one school, Jimmy and Graham, were pitted against each other, and Jimmy broke the Syracuse record for 40 yards to beat Graham. Brother James also hung up a new state record in the Middle Atlantic A. A. V. championship when he beat all the cracks entered in the semi-century in the fast time of 5 and 25 secs., equaling the world's record for the distance. Howard P. Drew, the "Sarah Bernhardt" of the track, the champion come-back sprinter, cracked another mark when in the Smart Set games he chipped 1-5 off the record for the 90-yard distance, running it in 9 seconds flat. Unlike so many, this premier athlete refused to avail himself of a very legitimate reason for lack of form a few weeks ago when in two weeks he lost nearly ten pounds in weight due to illness. THE ROAD SCOUTS The Road Scouts, a hiking organization of Washington, D.C., composed of city boys and Howard University students, made their annual hike to Baltimore, April 20, 1916. They left Washington at 1 o'clock, Thursday night and arrived in Baltimore 9:15 Friday morning, stopping 46 minutes for breakfast, making the walking time 7 hours and 29 minutes. The first stop was on the other side of Laurel, which is twenty miles from Washington and after eating breakfast there the hike was resumed until they reached Baltimore. The hikers were Thomas Forest, Julius Proctor, Howard Steel, Harry Martin, Edward Frazier, Luther Wiseman, and Kelby Miller Jr. KELBY MILLER, JR., Scribe. JABEZ LEE. Mr. Chase had a very interesting letter from Jabez Lee who gave up his law practice to run politics. He calls the editor dear Bill and begs to be put on the board of election as the friend of Dear Bill. These and many other letters will be the aftermath of the election. Recognition of Merit—Wm. A. Hicky Commends, the Work I have read in the news columns of the daily papers and in The Bee accounts of the meeting recently held by enterprises colored men and women, which has for its purpose the arousing of sentiment among the colored people of the nation's capital, to recognize in some suitable form the valor and patriotism of the colored troops who rendered honorable and faithful service to their country's flag; and in this movement I was indeed very much pleased to see that personal friend and comrade, Hon. M.C. Dyer, of Missouri, now a representative in Congress—I soldiered with Mr. Dyer in the same company in the Spanish-American war—come publicly and gave his indorsement to this most commendable effort. Now a word right here regarding the colored soldiers and sailors may not be out of place. I doubt very much if you can find a man who served in the army or navy, either regular or volunteer, who will not indorse this movement. There are thousands of ex-service colored men connected with the various veteran soldier organizations throughout the United States who should be appealed to, and who no doubt would render assistance to this movement, and it seems to me that inasmuch as Congress has in the past appropriated money to erect statutes and memorials to noted men of European military fame who rendered commendable service to this country in times of war, they should not forget the colored soldiers and sailors. As a veteran of the Cuban and Phillipine campaigns, and in each of these campaigns I soldiered side by side with the colored comrades. They wore the same uniform as did the white soldiers; they fought under the same flag as the white soldiers, and rendered honorable and faithful services to their country's cause. Now, then, let the country recognize this service by the erection in the nation's capital of a suitable memorial to their valor, patriotism, and service. I am connected in many patriotic organizations of ex-soldiers, and among our membership are hundreds of colored comrades, and I here I will cite one local organization. General Guy V. Henry Garrison, No. 9, Army and Navy Union, U. S. A. In this body of men can be found some of the best soldiers and sailors, with long and splendid records, who ever wore an American military uniform, and if my dear old friend "Andy Burt"—Brig. Gen. Andrew S. Burt, U. S. A., who commanded the gallant Twentieth U. S. Regiment, were alive, he would be one of the most enthusiastic supporters of this project as, indeed. I am; and in convolution I desire to say that I have submitted to many of my comrades this article, and all are a unit in the sentiments herein expressed, particularly the "boys" of the Eighth Army Corps society of this city, which has for its membership all soldiers who served inthe Philippine and China expeditions. In this society are many colored ex-soldiers. WILLIAM A. HICKEY. Veteran Cuban and Philippine Campaigns. LET THESE MEN SERVE THEIR COUNTRY. It has been suggested that two regiments of artillery and two of infantry, of the new regiments lately voted by Congress, be recruited from our negro population. This proposal is supported by the National Association of which Oswald Garrison Willard is vice president and treasurer, and the Association points out in a statement which lies before us that while the adjutant general has said he doubts whether 175,000 regulars could be recruited in the United States, "there is no difficulty in recruiting colored regiments. Yet while officers are tearing their hair to get white recruits, the sign is up: "No colored man wanted." And the National Association proceeds to point out the many titles of the negro to high rank as an American soldier; the courage of the Fifty-fourth Massachusetts at Fort Wagner; the work of the Ninth and Tenth Cavalry in the Indian fights from 1863 down to 1890; the notably small number of desertions from negro regiments; the services of these regiments' in the Spanish war and in the Philippines, where they have stood up against the climate better than white regiments have, and where their military record has been of the highest. The military history of the men we should call Afro-Americans, except for the bad name hyphenates we nowadays, certainly entitles them to the chance they ask to serve their country in additional regiments. We hope that the House and Senate Committees on Military Affairs will grant the petition of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. H. T. SWAN. The only up-to-date grocery and provision store in Le Droft Park, 2021 Fourth street northwest, is managed by Mr. H. T. Swan. The colored residents of Le Droft Park have learned some sense. They are supporting their own. All first class families in Le Droft Park patronize Mr. H. T. Swan, whose place of business is at 202 Fourth street northwest. Read next week's issue on this up-to-date place. PLEI MEN AND TPINGS (By the Sage of the Potomac.) Lots of interest was shown here in the fight of Ralph Tyler for delegate-at-large out in Ohio, and while his friends here felt he could hardly be elected, they were surprised at the big vote he polled in the state. Said one of the "High Five" the other day, when the returns from Ohio were read in the dalles: "That bunch of slimness and nerve is a long ways from being a dead one, when he can stack up against a few United States Senator, a governor and a few millionaires what were candidates, and run 'em a close race for delegate-at-large from that state what has won the title of 'Mother of Presidents.'" But the news leaking out from the Burton headquarters here in the Southern building, that ex-Senator Burton, who is entered as a handicap candidate for president, was again a study-black, for delegate honors from his own state, may shoo away from him about fifty or sixty studies-in-black who will sit in the Republican National Convention as delegates. It will only take a word from Tyler to confirm the rumor that Senator Burton was again him and the race to start a small size revolt agin the bachelor ex-senator from Ohio who is running as the cold storage candidate for presidential nomination. Colored statesmen, near-statesmen, wiseacres and talkfest artists around here are wonderin' what Tyler will say. Everybody gives him credit for nerve enough to crack down, if he got the hot end of the poker from Mr. Burton. Any study-in-black what has got the nerve to run for delegate-at-large out in Ohio, has got nerve enough to talk out in meetin', if he got short-carded in the deal. I've been scouring this old berg over the last week, and, if you take my word for it, there's nothin' in this delegate fight here but Miller and Chase. Down in "Bloodville" and "Hell's Bottom," where I circulated last Saturday, all the coal-tar-complexioned individuals were teachin' their kiddies to say: "We aint for nobody, but Miller and Chase," and up in the Northwest, around Avenue de Nig. Quality Row, and around other shade centers where Hamites collects to dispose of their excess lung power, the talk was that the Miller-Chase ticket would make garbage disposal stuff out of the Hogan-Willis-ton ticket, just cause there is a sort of fool! this aint no time to welcome prodigals back by gingin' them the high seat in the sanctuary, and the best eatin in the larder. This two-time talk about Teddy runnin' away with the republican nomination at Chicago has dwindled down to almost a whisper. Republicans aint never been much disposed to give bottlers the present of a big Packard tourin' car to ride around in the car. Ford "road house" would be the most fittin thing for them as a reward for sneakin' back in the fold. Then again, don't you know that there is a general feelin' that Chapin Brown, what is a staywart of the stalwarts, is entitled to agin' represent this district as national committeeman since he had the nerve to carry the banner four years ago when there was nothin' in, but heavy dark clouds, rainy weather, and big frosts for the G. O. P. Now that some think the G. O. P. has a mighty good chance for a peek in at the presidential preserves, cake and ice cream, everybody what was a boltin' four years ago is crowdin' to the table and a tryin' to edge the faithful away from the banquet board. But, if you listen to me, and I got the dope straight, there wont be nothin' doin' for bottlers this year of our Lord 1916. And then there fellers who wear a sort of oxidized complexion to distinguish them from the lily-whites and who will want to rush to the pi counter just as soon as the return are announced on election: night in November, had better find a way head in before its too late, and roun themselves, up for the Miller-Chas ticket. While confabbin' with a bunch of assorted colors, around George Murray's celebrated soda fountain last Sunday, the general opinion was that your Uncle William Calvin, hooked up with that bunch of squarmess, Mr. Miller, would run so heavy down in that "deestrick" that Doc. Willston would have need for all the pills, ipicac, purgatives, and antidotes, what he carries around in his medicine case, just for himself and Mr. Hogan, the feller with a North of Ireland cognoman. Yes sir. I've been quietly investigatin' among these cast-offs what's down in the big census book as just plain Negroes, and I find that the Miller-Chase combination is the favorite in the pool selling by big odds. On the pool board down in Bloodville the Miller-Chase ticket is chalked up as a twenty-to-one favorite. Up in the "Hell's Ball" it is chalked up the same. Out in the vicinity of Anacostia, where Whit McKinlay only controls his own vote, it is marked up a 25-to-1 favorite, and right in the northwest, where Doc. Williston's Howard Medical School and Freedman's Hospital combine is a workin' over time for him, the Miller-Chase ticket is a 16-to-four favorite. And out around Hyattville, Lincoln Helghts, and that other Height what Sidney Pittman made famous because he squatted there for a coup of few years as the lone son-in-law of the late Dr. Booker Washington they just can't see the Hogan-Willis ton ticket with double lenzes. But the whole business will soon be over and I have already arranged to go to the Chicago convention, as a valle for Bill Chase, agreein' to carry his travellin' bag, containin' one change of shirts and socks, and a Danytype of a necktie, in exchange for a ticket to git in the convention to hear vote for the nomination of the guy who will be the next dispenser of prestential pie over in the little old White House. Say, don't you know these awfully short skirts our shemales are now, wearin' are mighty disadvantageous? Well, they are, for a mighty few of 'em succeed in puttin' them on so they wont show their white under- skirt. Comin' over Fourteenth street last Saturday. I counted sixteen opeque-compleklon bits of femininity what had on short skirts what were so short they showed about two inches of white under-skirt what looked like a flag of truce. Wash Woods, the logician and philosopher in these neck of the woods, discussin' these short skirts, remarked, "If these broilers are corned ribs really mean to display their balmorals they sure did hit on a successful plan when they begin to wear these knee-high dresses. If I was only a few years younger, about the age of Link Brown, Judge Høwlett, Judge Terrell and Harry Reynolds, I might appreciate these knee-high skirts, but bein' as I am slidin' along in the sear and-yellow-leaf class, along with Geo Cook. Tom Jones and Kell Miller, they just naturally appeal to me as mighty indiscreet. Now I view, out of them knee-high skirts on, and her underskirt dropping, down one inch below, and displayin' a pair of balmarals that looked like a pair of saplin's in a forest of big timbers, and I said to myself, kinder soloquilzq' like, "If I was her hubby, I'd send for some celebrated alienist, give him four-dollars and forty-nine cents, and tell him to judge her ingane, and hurry her over to St. Elizabeth before the sun went down." Old Washy, old boy, is sure some philosopher when it comes to dissecting the gray matter of the coal-tar-complexlon fifth rib. You just got to hand it to him and Harry Reynolds for bein' the goods when it comes to deep thought. P. S. Ben Gaskins, like the embryotic would-be-editor of the Eagle, at last accounts, was figurin' where he would be at when this delegate election had become ancient history. And by the way, theme there so-called "Eagle Flights" and "Eaglets" has a sort of Dick Thompsonian sound, and a few of them carne dangerously close to "pernicious political activity." This is just a hint, I heard the other day, that a certain individual, with scrapbook propensities, was savin' em for the elification of the Swivel Service Commission. Mebbe he is and mebbe he, but its right that I/should put my old college friend Dick next, so he can prove an alibi. 1.

The Bee is satisfied with its stand it took against "The Birth of a Nation." If it were not for the paid advertisements that appears in the daily press one wouldn't know that the photo play was here. Strange to say that those who have been crying out against the presentation of this photo play and threatened the management with an injunction, have not been heard of since they were informed that a BEE—15 bond of twenty thousand dollars had to be given. Whenever you see a ministerial agitator threaten to cause an earthquake in defence of his beloved (?) people, just wait until he is told to go down in his "jeans." As a matter of fact they generally go down in other peoples' jeans and it is a very hard matter for them to empty their own pocketbooks. Some preachers do more talking than any other class of individuals, especially those who love to see themselves presiding at a ministerial convention. The country is safe and "The Birth of a Nation" continues to be shown to a class of people who love diversions. HOGAN AND WILLISTON. The Bee will leave it to the good judgment and intelligence of the people in this city. The Bee has always maintained, that neither Hogan nor Williston represents the republican party in this city and how they could expect to win this election, not even with the money of the Riggs Bank, is something The Bee cannot understand. The ticket must accept its defeat as one of the invittables. If men who are backed up by a mongrel institution are of the opinion that they can control votes with that money they will have another thought coming to them now. The Bee said last week that the Moose ticket would be defeated by from three to three thousand and five hundred. The Bee now predicts its defeat by ten to 12 thousand. Up to the hour of going to press the voting for the Chase-Miller, Hayes and Collins ticket was strong and the indications are sweeping victory for the Chase-Miller ticket Friday, 4 p. m. HOGAN AND WILLISTON DE FEATED. When The Bee shall have made its appearance today the Hogan and Williston ticket will have passed into oblivion. It will be ancient history. The best element of the colored people will see that men are elected to represent the republican party, in the coming National Convention. MARIE JAMES CAPTIVATED MUSICAL PHILADELPHIA. From "The Philadelphia Tribune," Philadelphia, Pa. Musical Philadelphia turned out on masse to the Symphony Concert given at the Parkway Auditorium Monday evening. April 24th, where they were treated to a veritable musical feast. The purveyors of said feast being that excellent musical organization. The Philadelphia Concert Orchestra and the eminent mezzo contralto, Miss Marie James. Miss James was heard in three numbers, each calculated to display her artistry to advantage. In her first number, "Berceuse" from "Jecelyn" she completely sang herself into the hearts of her large audience. The "Lullaby" was sung so sweetly and with such a caressing quality of tone that the vast audience sat entranced, and with breathless attention drank in a deep draught of purest melody. The beauty of Miss James' rendition the "Berceuse"; was enhanced by the violin obligato of Mr. Lymas, while Mrs. Drummond at the piano accompanied her in her usual artistic manner. Her next number, "My Heart is Weary" from the Opera "Nadeschda" was a musical treat in which she displayed marvelous tonal quality, clear- ness of enunciation and articulation, and excellent interpretation. Speaking of her tonal quality: It had granduer, eloquence, even sublimity and pathos as tender and touching as a lost-child's cry. In striking contrast was her last number, "Happy Song" by Del Riego. It was triumphantly joyful and at its gay conclusion was greeted with such tumultuous applause that.Miss James was (after repeated curtain calls) compelled to respond with an encore. The Symphony played by the orchestra was Symphony No. 2, by dered. Especially praiseworthy was the second movement, the "Andante." This was by far the best (from a pure melodic standpoint) that the orchestra has accomplished. Verily, it was a musical gem. The spirited "Tannhauser." March by Wagner, and the tuneful Rosa-munde Overture by Schubert, were also ably rendered, but it was in the Symphony that the Orchestra rose to supreme heights. Musical Philadelphia should feel proud of this body of well trained musicians and of their admiral director, Mr. Anderson, through whose untiring efforts such results have been attained. Charles S. Morris, the young 16-year old boy orator and son of the famous Dr. Charles S. Morris of Norfolk, Va., who was sent by the faculty of the Wilson Academy, Nyack, N. J., where he is the only colored student, to Mount Vernon High School last Thursday to enter the preliminary oratorical contest under the auspices of the Hamilton College. Nine white students representing as many high schools sought to win the first prize, which was twenty dollars in gold. Subject for the contest, "A Plea for Cuba." Each speaker was allotted five minutes. By the unanimous decision of the judges, young Morris was given the first prize. Judges were Rev. Robert G. McGregor, Honorable H. Dorssey Spencer and Conklin Mann of New York. On May 13th young Morris will enter the final contest, at Hamilton College, Clinton, N. Y., to speak against nine other white prize winners for the inter-academic championship of New York State. White Paper Called Him Native Cuban The Daily Argus, published at Mt. Vernon, where the contest was held, in speaking of the winners of the contest, called Morris a native born Cuban and not a negro. When the article was shown to the boy orator, he became idignant and said; "they knew I was a colored boy but have tried to mislead the public by saying that I was a Cuban; and I shall write immediately and demand correction of this article." HOTEL NEWS. R. DeReef Miller. The change which recently occurred at Harvie's restaurant at the corner of Eleventh and Pennsylvania avenue by the transfer of Captain Pryor to the head, waitership of this famous old restaurant, was good. Mr. Pryor is a young man with a fine record in the dining room business, and a friend of hundreds of the patrons of this noted cafe. He has received the congratulations of hundreds of side men who know him personally, from his fine leadership on the first floor for several years. Captain F. A. Cook of the Richmond Hotel is expected to be transferred to the captaincy at Newport. R. I. this summer, at which place the same management has controlling interest in another hotel. Mrs. M. E. Norman, a noted charity worker and philanthropist, of the Portland Hotel at Thomas Circle, while visiting her sick waiter, R. H. Fisher, at Freedman's Hospital, contributed to many of the poor and afflicted of that institution. On account of the illness of Assistant Captain John Hicklin of the Crystal Room at the New Ebbbt, Head Waiter Gustave Fritschle appointed Captain H. L. Washington, to take up Mr. Hicklin's duties during his absence. Irving, Brooks, the colored Charlie Chaplin, is doing well at Alexandria Bay, N. Y. At Thousand Island Hotel his health is much improved. Four neat colored boys are wanted; experience not necessary. Apply, with black pants and shoes, at the New Ebbitt Saturday or early Monday morning, at eleven o'clock, for positions as bus boys; work guaranteed for all summer. MRS. HICKMAN DEAD. One of the Oldest Inhabitants Passes Away. Mrs. Fannie N. Hickman, beloved wife of John L. Hickman, and devoted mother of Annie M. Peterson, departed this life Thursday, April 26th, at 11:25 p. m. The funeral was held at hdr late residence, 1011 Third street northwest, Monday, May 1st. Revs. Rosser and Gregory officiated. Solo, Miss Thelma Adams. Masonic service by Getthesemane Chapel. Floral pieces were received from the following: Vice President Marshall, Senator Gore, Magdaline Hickman, Lucius H. Peterson, Mrs. Judge Cole, Mr. and Mrs. Behnap, Mr. Dupree and family, Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Brooks, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Brown, Mr. and Mrs. George Brooks, Mrs. Kate Adams and Miss Rachel Daly, Mrs. Rosaline Phillips, Mrs. Jesse Powell and wife, Dr. and Mrs. Wm. Jones, Herman and Beulah, Mr. and Mrs. Duane Fox, Senate barbers, the Misses Solomons, Mrs. John F. Mason. The funeral was conducted by Messrs. Jas. Dabney and Frank Adams. Excellent services were rendered. BARNEY "McKAY" SERGEANT. In a letter to W. Calvin Chase, dated January 6th, 1916, Barney McKay, who calls himself Sergt. B. M. McKay, the alleged manager of the Bradshaw Marshall combination, after abusing Mr. Sidney Burton in this libelous letter, which he will have occasion to sustain, and after paying his respects to Bradshaw, he concludes as follows: "I can get a dozen men, reputable men, decent men, to run with with; men who will put up the money, etc. This self-styled Sergeant McKay will have occasion to read his own record. This sergeant is smarting under defeat. The Bee has several interesting letters from would-be candidates and quassi managers of campaigns which will be very interesting reading. From "The Philadelphia Tribune," Philadelphia, Pa. Wilmington, Del., April 21.—Mrs. Alice Moore-Dunbar, a teacher of English in the Howard High School of this city, and Mr. Robert J. Nelson of Reading, Pa., who for years has held a position in the Department of Mines in Harrisburg, Pa., were united in the holy bonds of wedlock at 11 o'clock, yesterday by the Rev. Solomon P. Hood, at the home of the bride, 916 French street. After the ceremony an exquisite wedding breakfast prepared by Miss Edith Fleetwood, of Washington, D.C., was served and enjoyed by those fortunate enough to be present. The attendants were Miss Edwina B. Krusse and Dr. Conwell Banton. After breakfast the bride and groom left for Atlantic City to spend their honeymoon. It is the bride's intention to continue teaching here until the close of the school year at least. Colored Catholics Gives May Frolic. Although the celebrated Catholic affair did not come off Easter Monday, as usual, Convention Hall has never before carried such a large crowd of people as it did on last Thursday evening, May 4, 1916. Washington's colored society was out in full to pay the annual spring visit for dance and frolic at this massive hall. The Monumental Orchestra, with several added instruments, was in attendance. Young and old participated in the dancing. The hall was finely decorated with large American flags and bunting. "THE OLD HAS BEEN." It might be said, with impunity, that the "Old Has Beens," under the guiding hands of Messrs. Blount, McLane, Monroe, and Evans, could appropriately be renamed the "We Are's" if judgment were to be predicated upon the brilliant social function given by the O. H. B's at True Refromers' Hall on the 28th ultimo. The event referred to was one of the most successful social gatherings that has taken place this season. At the proper hour "Doe" Perry's Society Orchestra began the rendition of a most delightful dance program, and by 11 p. m., Room 10 was crowded with a bevy of beautifully attired women and their escorts, resplendent in full dress, beaming with courtesy and smiles, and merrily dancing away "Old Man Time" in a demonstration of their appreciation of the efforts of one of the most energetic social committees ever, formed in this city. At 11:30 p. m., a flashlight photograph of the gathering was taken by extraordinary; and, no doubt, in years to come this photograph will serve as one of the many reminders of this exceptionally successful social event. The tireless committee in charge snared no pains in its courtesies to all present, and after serving refreshments at 12 o'clock decided to have the merry dance continue until 3 a.m. it is to be hoped that the "Old Has Beens" will long continue in the limelight of social activity, for such social gatherings as the one which this organization has recently given are a credit to the community, an inspiration to conservative society folk, and are to be heartily availed of by those who are fortunate enough to be "Old Has Beens." NON TRIAL Continued "Why didn't I tell him? Why didn't I tell him?" "What then?" asked the lawyer. "Then I cried, too, because I was afraid. I wanted to talk to her, but she wouldn't. I was awfully afraid." Here the child's voice broke. "I'm afraid now," she said plaintively, and she began to sob. Arbuckle was gentleness itself as he said: "Don't cry, Doris. It will only be a few minutes longer; then we'll be through with you." But Doris still wept, and Arbuckle went on: "Try not to cry. Just a little while longer. That's a good girl. Are you listening to me?" The child choked back a sob and answered, "Yes, sir." "Did your mother call up again?" "Yes, sir, and she said, 'Is that you, Gerald Trask?' Oh, I don't want to talk any more. My head hurts, and I'm afraid." CHAPTER XIII. The Woman's Story. I was plainly to be seen that the strain told fearfully on little-Doris and that only by the most skillful management would Arbuckle be able to finish his examination of her. But the lawyer was an ideal man for the task, and be wag the admiration of the entire courtroom by the way in which he fancied the witness. Even Judge Dinsmore involuntarily nodded his head in approval. "Don't be afraid. We'll be finished in a minute. Your mother said, 'Is that you, Gerald Trask? What happened then?' "I don't remember." "Try to think a moment. Be a brave girl. Did you hear a noise through the telephone?" "Yes, sir." Here the district attorney' despite his evident sympathy with the little wilt. THE JUDGE ness, deemed it his duty to interfere again. He addressed the judge: "If the court please, I must again insist that my friend refrain from leading the witness." Before Judge Dinsmore could rule Arbuckle said: "I submit, your honor, that the child is inboring under a terrific strain and that I must be allowed some latitude." The momentary rest had done Doris good, and when Arbuckle asked her, You say you heard a noise, Doris? she seemed a trifle less exhausted. She answered, "Yes, sir." "What kind of a noise was it?" "I don't know—a funny noise—like a little firecracker." "And what did your mother do when she heard the noise?" The vivid recollection brought back all of Deris' terror and weariness. She made a brave attempt to answer, saying: "She screamed and said, 'My God, he's killed him!' Then the child faltered and cried out: 'Please let me go. I don't want to talk any more.' "Just one more question and you'll be all through. What did your mother do after she said, 'My God, he's killed him?'" "She took me in her arms and kissed me and said, 'Goodbye.' And I cried because it hurt when she kissed me. And she went away." "And have you seen your mother since that night?" The child sobbed: "No, no. I want to see her." She looked up, and her eyes rested upon her father, sitting in the prisoner's chair and staring at her in strained attention. Doris rose from the witness chair and started from the platform toward her father, crying: "Daddy dear, why did you make mamma cry and run away from me?" Before Doris could set foot on the floor of the courtroom Arbuckle caught her in his arms and said to the court, "That's the child's story, your honor." Strickland had started to his feet when his little daughter had turned to him. His right arm was suspended in the sling. With his free left hand outstretched he appealed to the judge, exclaiming: "For God's sake, you're torturing my little baby." The court was astir with sympathy for Doris Strickland if not for her father. There were whispered words of sympathy and quiet explanations as the dramatic scene was acted, and some of the more susceptible among the spectators started to their feet Judge Dinsmore kept his judicial pose. He rapped thrice with his gavel and said: "Mr. Strickland—silence!" "I move that the child's testimony be stricken out," said District Attorney Gray. But the hour was late, and the trial of the case of the people of the state of New York against Robert Strickland for the murder of Gerald Trask was adjourned for the day. That night the people of New York read and discussed nothing but the case. And the feature that held them most was the testimony of little Doris Strickland, telling her story to save her dearly beloved "daddy." The universal comment was: "Poor child!" Her mother ought to be here with her! The opening of the next day's proceedings in the trial saw the courtroom scene all set at 10 o'clock in the morning, save that one of the principal characters was missing. The trial could not proceed without David Arbuckle, the defendant's chief counsel, and Judge Dinsmore asked of the district attorney: "Mr. Gray, have you seen Mr. Arbuckle this morning?" "No, your honor, I have not." Judge Limmore looked at his watch. "It's twenty minutes after 10, Mr. Daniels." The clerk of the court started up in his place. "Yes, your honor." "Just call up Mr. Arbuckle's office and find out what's detaining him." But before the clerk could obey the order, Arbuckle entered the court. He was breathless. The judge addressed him sharply: "This court convenes at 10 o'clock, Mr. Arbuckle." Arbuckle recovered his breath with difficulty and replied: "I must ask your honor to excuse me. I have been working all night on this case. There has been an unexpected development overnight. Last evening Mrs. Strickland, the wife of the defendant, came to my house. It seems that she beame dangerously ill, and it is only the realization of the importance of her testimony that has enabled her to be in condition to take the witness stand. She has told me a story, your honor, which puts an entirely different aspect upon this case." District Attorney Gray interposed an objection: "I object, to counsel commenting upon the testimony of a witness who has not, yet been called." "Very well, your honor," said Arbuckle. "I shall call Mrs. Strickland at once. Her testimony will require no comment. Call Mrs. Strickland, please!" An attendant opened a door and called, "Mrs. Strickland!" With the appearance of May Strickland came a new sensation in the trial, already overcharged with sensational features. Her reappearance was entirely unexpected by judge and jury, the newspapers and the public. All were eager to observe her, and the great majority to comment on her appearance. They found plenty of food for their remarks in her wan countenance. for the months that had passed since the terrifying tragic scenes in the home of the Stricklands on that last fatal night had total terrily on her. She was still comely, but her face was thin and drawn. Indeed, as soon spired, physial as well as mental suffering had set their marks on May Strickland. Arbuckle directed her to the witness stand. She was duly sworn, and then Arbuckle began his questioning: "Mess. Strickland, are you the wife of Robert Strickland, the defendant?" "Yes, sir. "When were you married?" "July 15, 1903." "Did you know Gerald Trask?" "Yes, sir, I did." "When did you first meet Mr. Trask?" "In March, 1900." "That was before you knew Mr. Strickland?" "Yes, sir. more than two years before." "How old were you at that time?" "Just so ateen." With the inherent inquisitiveness of all human beings the audience made mental calculations of May Strickland's age. "Still, oung to pass through such an ordeal," he majority thought. "Where did I meet Mr. Trask?" "At Lake ood." "Now, Mr. Strickland," went on Arbuckle, "decribe your relations with Mr. Trask." that time." "He was very attentive to me and took me about a good deal. About ten days after I met him I returned to the city, and he came back too. He kept sending me things and taking me out. Try It! Try It!

The one was low. The words came with an effort. The woman's head was bowed, and the judge had to admonish her to speak more clearly. "When was that?" Arbuckle asked. "In April, 1900. I asked him to walt. He said he would wait as long as I wanted him to. But every time he saw me he spoke to me about it, telling me how much he loved me and how much I meant to him. He seemed so earnest and sincere, that I believed everything he said. At last I yielded and consented, to marry him." "When was that?" said Arbuckle. "When was that?" said Arbuckle. "On the 19th of May. He said he wanted to be married next day. But he said that on account of his family he couldn't let it be known for awhile, so we'd have to be married secretly. Next day he called for me in his automobile and said we were going to a hotel in Great Neck, L. L., to meet a clergyman with whom he had made arrangements. We got to Great Neck at about 7 o'clock that evening." Despite the admonition of Judge Dimemore, her voice had gradually become lower and lower again. Now it faltered and broke. Her emotions overcame her. There was a pause in which not a sound of any sort disturbed the stillness of the courtroom. May Strickland's head was bent in shame. She felt the eyes of the assemblage fixed upon her, and she could not raise her own eyes. Why was she baring to the entire world this old chapter in her life? What had brought her to such a pass? Nothing else but love for her husband—that husband who had never before heard this tale. It was to save Robert that she told.

Tapp, than to be the President of the Bible, of the Bible, as therein contained, is so daring and his conclusions are so unanswerable that the human intellect cannot imagine ideas. it is the world's greatest book. Mr. Tapp's books on the Bible and his sex interpretation of the Bible will repress the Bible may perish and Empires may decay, but the ideas presented by the author in these books on the Bible will never die."—Froemke Harris, A. J.

Brief Bits of News and Comments on Men and Women—Segregation Receives Black Eye—Court Halts Enforcement in Isolation Ordinance, in St. Louis St. Louis, Mo.—Enforcement of the segregation ordinance of St. Louis was enjoined by the Federal District Court here today. The injunction was granted by District Judge Dyer, who said he made the order temporary, only because the Federal Supreme Court now is considering a segregation case from Louisville, Ky.; otherwise, he says, he would have made the injunction permanent. One section of the ordinance prohibits whites or blacks in living in a block in which 75 per cent of the houses are occupied by the opposite race. Judge Dyer said: "The Negro is entitled to the same consideration and the same rights as is a white man. The Negro doesn't want social equality. He wants the same rights before the law as the white man and he should have them." This is strong language! Significant Vermont Vote. Montpelier, Vermont.-The voters of Vermont, at an election just held, defaced a prohibition amendment to the Constitution: by a majority of several thousand. Vermont is a small state, and the vote cast on the prohibition amendment was 18,503 for and 31,667 against. The result of the Vermont election is significant. It shows that the prohibition agitation has reached its high tide and that it is now turning back in the other direction. Vermont experimented with prohibition for several years and found that it was a failure and a fraud. The prohibition law was reopened, and license and regulation substituted in 1903. Recently the prohibitionist inaugurated a campaign for a prohibition amendment to the State Constitution, and the election returns show what the Vermonters think about it. The Anti-prohibitionists carried every county in the state, with single exception of Orleans County. The result of the election was a shock to the anti-saloon destructionists. They have not yet been able to figure out how they were so thoroughly thrashed at the polls. The Anti-Saloon League leaders pursued their usual tactics of attempting to intimidate the citizens who had the nerve to oppose them. Even newspapers that opposed prohibition were threatened with boycotts. These tactics were resented by the people and helped to swell the anti-prohibition majority. A Plain Speaking Methodist Bishop, Boston, Mass.-Bishop John W. Hamilton, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, North, has decided to retire from active service when the General Conference of his church meets at Sanctoga Springs, New York, next month. Bishop Hamilton has always been a strong friend and advocate of the Negro. In an address some years ago in Washington, District of Columbia, at HOTEL HOTEL DALE CAPE MAY, N. J.

His theory was received in absolute silence and many of the audience, suppressing their resentment, abruptly left Metropolitan Church in which he was speaking. Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, April 24th.—In their desire to make the National Negro Business League an organization of direct service to its members and to the race in general, the officers and members of the Executive Committee through the co-operation of a friend of Tuskegee Institute and of the late Dr. Booker T. Washington, have decided to send an experienced advertising man into various communities as its representative to organize new local Negro Business Leagues, revive local leagues which have become inactive and to help local leagues outline a definite, constructive program for extending the trade of the race enterprises through standardized advertising and merchandising methods. Beginning May 1st, Mr. Albon L. Hosley, who has attained considerable experience as an advertisement writer and all-round advertising man, will begin a whirlwind campaign under the auspices of the National League, covering the South and Southwest. For nearly two years, Mr. Hosley has been closely associated with Mr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary of Tuskegee Institute and also secretary of the National Negro Business League, with whom he has worked as an assistant in the Business League work. He is, therefore, thoroughly conversant with the league's activity. The itinerary which has been outlined includes visits to important cities. In South Georgia, North Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Southern Illinois and Indiana, Western Kentucky, and concludes at Kansas City, Missouri, August 16th, when the annual session of the National Negro Business League begins. GOSPEL PREACHING TWOFOLD OBJECT Prime Object of Preaching Ri lates to the Church, the Second to the World. World's Conversion Not God's Present Purpose — Special Design of Gospel Age the Selection and Preparation of the Church — Secondary Design the Witness to the World—The True Gospel is the Gospel of the Kingdom. "The Pearl of Great Price"—How the Church, the Bride, Makes Herself Ready For the Kingdom. Boston, April 30. —Pastor Russell's discourse for today was from the text, "This Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a wit- ness to all nations; and then shall the end come." (Mat- thew 24:14). We give a short report. PETER H. BURGESS PASTOR RUSSELL give a short report. The end mentioned in our text is not the end of the world, but the end of the preaching of the Gospel, after that preaching has done its work. The Master's thought, as here expressed, seems to be that the work of the Gospel Age has been, not the conversion of the world, as many have erroneously supposed, but the preaching of the Gospel as a witness to the world. After the present Age is closed, Gospel preaching will no longer be necessary; for it will have done its work. There is a distinction between the Gospel of the Kingdom and the Kingdom itself. The Gospel of the Kingdom is the Message concerning the Kingdom; the Glad Tidings of the Kingdom. When this Message shall have accomplished its work of gathering out a special class to constitute the Bride of Christ, then the Kingdom itself will be inaugurated and will begin its work, which will be for the salvation of the world at large. The Scriptures inform us that since our Lord's ascension, He has been waiting until His enemies be made His footstool. (Hebrews 10:12; 13: Psalm 110:1.) In other words, He is waiting the inauguration of His glorious Kingdom. Meantime those who hope to reign with Christ have had an important work to accomplish in themselves, cooperating with their Lord in the preparation for their great future exaltation. They have had also a secondary work in preaching the Gospel Message to every one who has an ear to hear, that the full number of the Bride class may be gathered in and fitted for their positions in the Kingdom. Only a few have hearing ears; for the great majority of munkid are absorbed in their own ideas and projects. Thus it has been all down the Gospel Age. The Message is designed only for a "little book" (Luke 12:23); and these will constitute the Royal Family in the Messianic Kingdom. Pearl of Joint-Heirship With Christ. The earth is the one 'rebellious province in God's Universe. Our minds are all more or less twisted by nature because of Adam's fall. But there are some who have a heart disposed to righteousness. It is to such that the Kingdom Message appeals, and such will be prepared for Kingdom honors. God is seeking those who, when they learn of His wonderful Plan, will be so thoroughly absorbed in it that they will practically forget everything else—lay every weight aside. Some of us have had this experience. All things else have become of only secondary interest to us. We are like the merchantman who found a pearl of great price, and who sold all that he had in order to obtain it. (Matthew 13:45, 46) Whoever obtains this pearl will be privileged to come into full harmony with God, will share with our Lord in the glory, honor and immortality of the Divine nature, will be associated with Jesus in the work of helping mankind up out of ignorance, superstition, sin and death, during the Millennial reign of Christ; and after the world's upift is accomplished, he will be further privileged to be associated with our Lord forever, and to show forth God's riches of grace through eternity. But whoever would have the pearl must pay the price—"all that he had." Whether he has little or much, he must give all that he possesses. This includes his will. He must give himself wholly and unreservedly to God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Thenceforth he must have no will of his own in anything; but must submit himself fully to the Lord. He must suffer reproach, scorn, persecution, loss of friends, tribulations—but all necessary to his preparation for future service in the Kingdom. In one sense the cost is considerable; but whoever has once gotten a glimpse of the Pearl will gladly pay the price. The Gospel of the Kingdom has been preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations. The Bride of Christ will soon be completed beyond the veil. Let us, then, be faithful unto death. The time of our deliverance is not far away. Day by day we are learning patience, cheerful endurance, submission to the Divine will, in all the affairs of life. Soon we shall get the Pearl of Great Price. THE MISSIONARIES OF ANTIOCH Persecution Spreads the Gospel—The First Church Amongst the Gentiles Barnabas Sent From Jerusalem to Assist the Young Church—Saul of Tarsus Brought to Antioch—The Two Sent Forth as Missionaries. Ordination and Laying on of Hands. "Go we therefore, and make disciples of all the nations"—Matthew 28:10, R. V. ANTIOCH, at the time of our Study, was the third city in the world in commercial importance and population, out Rome and Alexandria taking precedence. It is noted as being the first city outside of Palestine in which a Christian church assembly was formed. Indeed, we might say that as Jerusalem was the center of influence in Palestine, so Antioch became a center of influence respecting the Gospel amongst the Gentiles. It seems that the little spark of Truth which started the work of the Lord at Antioch resulted from the persecution at the time of St. Stephen's death. Some of those forced out of Jerusalem by that persecution settled at Antioch, and of course let their light shine out for others: At first this was done only toward those of Jewish faith; for in so large a commercial city there were sure to be large numbers Jerusalem by that persecution settled at Antioch, and of course let their light shine out for others. At first this was done only toward those of Jewish faith; for in so large a commercial city there were sure to be large numbers of Jews. We The Church at Antioch, know not how many of them were reached by the Gospel; but it was surely confined to them until the end of Israel's seventy symbolic weeks of Divine favor—until the autumn of 36 A.D.—Daniel 9:21-27. At the same time, therefore, that the Lord was sending Philip to the Samaritans and to the Ethiopian eunuch, and was opening the door to the Gentiles through the Apostle Peter, He was ready to open the door to the Gentiles everywhere. Under the leading of Divine providence some of the Christian Hebrews elsewhere got the proper thought at the proper time—that a Gentile who would receive the Lord Jesus could be classed as a disciple equally with the Jews who had done so. The news that the Gospel was going to the Gentiles at Antioch, and that large numbers were turning to the Lord, reached the Church at Jerusalem—the head-center of Christian work. The brethren there had already been prepared by the Lord's manifest dealings in the case of Cornelius; and this, undoubtedly, would largely correct any prejudice on the subject of the Gentiles as fellow-heirs of the Abrahamic Promise, which had previously pertained to the Jews alone. Accordingly, Barbinas was sent to Antioch to judge of the true condition of things and to give some report us to whether the new converts were worthy to be recognized as fellow-heirs with the saints. Christian Missionaries. Barmabas was a Levite and a native of Cyprus, an island near Antioch, and probably was familiar with the dialect spoken in Antioch. Additionally, he had a beautiful character; in fact, he had been named Barmabas by the brethren, who had thus designated him "a son of consolation," a helper. He at once overtowed toward the Antioch brethren; and in the same comforting, helpful manner as at Jerusalem he exhorted them all. As a result "much people was added to the Lord." While Barmabas was at Antioch, he had in mind Brother Saul of Tarsus, whom he had met in Jerusalem; and he concluded that, since Tarsus was not far from Antioch, he would look Saul up, interest him in the work. etc. He probably remembered that Saul's ideas were extremely broad in respect to the Gospel, and concluded that the brethren at Autoleth would be greatly profited by his assistance. He found Saul and brought him to Antioch, where his Paul and Barnabas Sent Forth. influence was no doubt for the good of all. For a whole year they assembled with the Church at Antioch, and taught much people. It was there the disciples were first called Christians. The result of their labors was that the Church as a whole was developed. There were a number of prophets—public speakers—and teachers in the Church; and evidently they began to consider how they might be used of the Lord to His glory and to the blessing of others. They finally concluded to send forth Barnabas' and Paul as their representatives in mission work. The proper course having been decided upon, the congregation fasted, prayed and laid their hands upon the two, then sent them on their missionary tour with the blessing of the Church. The laging on of hands was probably done by the congregation, through the Elders. This would not signify authority to preach, as ordination sometimes means today amongst various sects and parties. It simply meant that the congregation were sending forth the two as their representatives, for whose maintenance the congregation was responsible. Later, the brethren returned and made report.
