Mt. Olive Baptist Church Will Lay Her Corner Stone Sunday, June 25, at 2:30 P. M.—A Big History of the Church and her Pastor—Rev. W. G. Sparks to Deliver the Principal Address—An Excellent Program of Exercises. Exercises: The laying of the corner stone of the new building of the Mt. Olive Baptist Church is the climax to two years of work of its present pastor, his wife and a few faithful members. The church is one of the oldest churches in the city; it was organized 42 years ago. Rev. Wm. Robinson was its first pastor. Since its organization it has had several pastors; some of them are still living and actively engaged in church work. The church has gone through many severe storms and at times it seemed as if the church would have to cease to exist, but two years ago when they were passing through the most strenuous crisis it had ever met, they called Rev. Monroe S. Caves who was just finishing his Theological course in Howard University to its pastorate. Rev. Caver accepted the call about a month before he graduated from the University. At that time the church owed a very heavy mortgage debt, be side a number of floating debts. Rev. Caver immediately organized the little handful of members into a working unit and in less than four months from then he took charge of the church they did not owe a penny to any body. At that time they were worm shipping in a small wooden building that had stood for forty years and an eyesore to the community. They began at once to lay plans for a new building under the direction of Pas PETER H. tor Cover. They have under construction one of the most modern church buildings in the city, though not an expensive one; it is being erected at a cost of about $12,000.00 and has the latest improved heating, lighting and ventilating systems. It is the purpose of the church not to owe over $5,000.00 when the building is finished. is missed. The membership of the church is growing rapidly and if they continue in the future in proportion to their past two years' growth and work within the next year or three years, it will be one of the leading leaders in the capital. churches in The church is fortunate in having an energetic, thorough-going young man for pastor, one who no church would be as assumed of; he is a graduate of the leading Theological School in the country for negroes and comes from one of the best known families; he is the nephew of Rev.

Cavar's personality is persuasive, dignified and impressive. No minister in this city stands higher in the estimation of the community than he does. He is a young man who has made many personal sacrifices to accomplish what he has in so short a time. The Mt. Olive Baptist Church, which he so recently erected, is the most influential in the northeast, and so effective has been his work, Dr. S. M. Newman, president of Howard University, has highly recommended in the city. Rev. Cavar graduated from the Theological Department of Howard University with high honors. The exercises tomorrow afternoon will take place at 2:30 o'clock p. m. Many of the leading divines, white and colored, and other distinguished laymen will be present, and deliver short addresses. A most excellent program has been prepared by the committee. church committee. Rev. W. G.

A tattered flag from Admiral Farragut's Flagship was presented to Satterlee House Boy Scouts by Mr. F. G. Alexander of 948 R street northwest. The flag has been in Mr. Alexander's family for more than 40 years, being given Mr. G. S. Alexander, a brother of the present donor, by Captain Batthemeau Diggins, who was with Admiral Farragut in many of his battles. The flag is on display at Satterlee House. The wireless_receiving station at the Scoutmasters' Club House has been completed and we received our first message when the time was sent out from Arlington at 10 o'clock p.m. on the 19th. The station at Satterlee House will be ready in a few days. The two 75-ft. poles arrived on Monday and have been put into place. Scoutmasters N. F. Henry and Clarence Brooks carried a number of Boy Scouts to the Christian Endeavor Society meeting at Galbraith A. M. E. Zion Church. The pastor, Rev. W. D. Battle, and president of the C. E. Society, Mr. John A. Dickerson, and congregation gave them a hearty welcome. Each Scout had a word to say Scoutmaster C. W. Frisby has gone to Mountain Lake for the summer. We wish him a pleasant trip. Who saw Boy Scouts at the pageant? Scoutmaster John Randall carried a number of his boys for a hike last Sunday afternoon. They reported a pleasant time. pleasant time. One of the things we notice is that some of our brightest scholars make poor providers, because they have been guided through school and do not know how what to do when left to their own resources. Can such a thing happen to a boy who has been a Scout? He is taught to care for himself in any emergency. HONORS FOR PRINCIPAL MOTON: Tuskgee Institute, June 20, 1916 —During the commencement season Just closing Principal R. R. Moton, newly installed head of Tuskgee Institute, has been the recipient of singularly conspicuous honors from three very prominent American institutions of learning. tutions of learning. On Wednesday, May 31st, the degree of Doctor of Law, LL.D., was conferred upon him, in absentia, by Virginia Union University, Richmond Virginia; on Wednesday, June 14th, Oberlin College, Oberlin, Ohio, conferred upon him the same degree; and on Thursday, June 15th, Wilberforce University, Wilberforce, Ohio, conferred the same honor. paid him. the At Oberlin College the investment of Principal Moton with the Doctorate of Laws is described by a correspondent as an impressive ceremony. Tuskegee's principal appears, to have been easily the most favored of the candidates for honorary degrees. Our correspondent states that no one was eulogized as was he; the applause was deafening and prolonged. He spoke for seven minutes at the Alumni dinner and was received most enthusiastically. It is doubtful if any negro educator has ever before received in one year the degree Doctor of Laws from three such important schools.

The invocation was offered by the Rev. Dr. W. A. C. Hurches, District Superintendent of the Methodist churches. churches. Two of the principal addresses were delivered by Rev. R. H. Cropper and Prof. G. W. Jones. It is said that the address of Prof. Jones was one of the best ever witnessed at Simpson and will perhaps be published fully in the Bee and Eagle next week. Rev. W. S. Jackson, the noted pastor of Simpson Church, delivered an excellent oration at the close of the exercises, closing with congratulations to the superintendent of the Sunday School, Clarence M. DeVelle, Esq., and the Misses Jones, his co-workers.

Lee, newly elected Bishops, associating. Rev. S. L. Corrothers preached the annual sermon, subject, "Let Us Arise and Build." Rev. Corrothers was at his best and the conference was spiritually alive. After the sermon the communion was administered to the entire conference. The conference was organized as follows: Rev. G. M. Oliver, secretary; Rev. W. D. Battle, assistant secretary; Rev. W. A. Ray, statistician; Rev. S. Q. Swan, reporter to Star of Zion; Mr. Wm. H. Ricks, reporter to city and other papers. The conference is well attended; more than 150 ministers and delegates being present. The Bishop suggested as the slogan for this conference, "Let us arise up and build." The general officers received their several reports in the afternoon session. The forecast is that this will be the greatest session of the Philadelphia and Baltimore conference. THE MARYLAND STATE NORMAL School Closes—D. D. S. Goodloe Succeeds. Jerrico Park (Bowie), Md., June 15, 1916—The Maryland State Normal and Industrial School closed its fifth year's work Thursday, June 15, 1916. Dr. D. D. S. Goodloe, the most worthy principal, presided at the closing exercises. The auditorium or chapel was filled to over-flowing with educators and friends of the school from Baltimore, Washington and from the counties of Maryland; also there were these present from Virginia and other states. Prof. James F. Armstrong, the supervisor of the Prince George's county colored schools, attended the closing exercises as the special guest of Dr. Goodloe. He expressed himself as being highly gratified by progress of the State Normal School and the splendid work of Dr. Goodloe. Prof. Armstrong said that in the future it will be a victim of the school officials to the encounters occurring in the colored schools of the counties with the graduates of the Maryland State Normal School and to encourage of the young people to enter said school and prepare for the work of school teaching. The following program was beautifully carried out to the full satisfaction of all those present: Invocation; music; oration; "Strong Men Wanted," P. A. Cooper; essay; "Growth and Evidences of Education," Anita Wainwright; essay, "The Equipment of a Successful Teacher," Goldie Banks; music; essay, "The Needed Man," Mabel J. Parker; oration, "Knocking at the Door of Opportunity," Leonard H. B. Foote; music; essay, "Energy and Ethismus," Rebecca G. Chance; oration, "Discipline," G. H. Sembly; music. The afternoon service consisted of music, address by Judge Terrell, delivery of diplomas and short addresses by visitors. BLENTY OF WORK. PLENTY OF WORK The National League on Urban Conditions among negroes has been very successful in listing students for summer work in the tobacco fields of Connecticut. The demand for this work has been unusually large, but, nevertheless, there is need for more applicants. A large number of students have been listed from the states of Georgia and South Carolina and in order to accommodate them free transportation has been arranged from Savannah to New York. Students 'coming' from Savani will be given their fare one w which will make it necessary t they pay their own way back hor while those coming from Norfolk he given their round trip fare. Every student must report at 1 folk or Savannah not later than 11 days after receipt of notice. T will be instructed where and to wl they are to report upon their arir at either of these cities.. Each student should be prepared to pay a night's lodging as well as a co of meals as these expenses will be defrayed by the company while they are waiting to be transported. They will not be kept at either city for more than three days if they respond at once to our call. The harvest season begins the middle of July and from the 10th of July on, each student may expect his notice. It will be necessary for each one to bring his notice with him. Every person must be identified. What seems to the trouble with the house committee of the Young Women's Christian Association? Will this association never be satisfied with its patrons? It seems now that the matron at this city stocking institution is too cultured and refined for some of the only ones. The Tree has an interesting story that will startle the community if this not continues. Miss Eamie Ware Taylor is on the job and will teach these will-be's a lesson: PROF. DANIEL'S IN PITTARURGH.

COMMENCEMENT AT WILBERFORCE The event of the month, the one that has caused the greatest amount of local gossip, occurred June 15th at Wilberforce University. On the 12th the Literary Societies met and were addressed by Mr. Daniel A. P. Murray of the Literary Congress, "On some early illustrations on behalf of the African, confirming the intellectual equality of all races." By comparisons with noted literary characters of the Western world, he showed numerous Africans as equally contemporaries. All before Phillis Wheatley beginning with the sixth century he brought the record down to the 18th century. The paper, with the speaker's extempore illustrations, produced a profound sensation. Deep research was evident in every line and justified the assertion often made that Mr. Murray is today authority concerning the history of the colored throughout the world. In recognition the trustees and faculty unanimously decided to confer on Mr. Murray the degree of LLB. The same was also-conferred on Major R. R. Moton, p. of Tuskegee, and the Rt. Rev H. Phillips of the colored McChurch. The exercises took place Th June 15th, commencement da the platform sat the representatives of Gov. Willis, who was detained by a death in his family; the State itor, Supt. of Education and other state offices; the Thompson, president of the Ohio State Union, who delivered the address, and all the fiftie active Bishops of the A. M. E. Church. The invocation was by Rt. Rev. John Hunt. Chaplai: T. J. Stewart presented the candidates. Pres. Scarborough, in fitting terms, commended the choice of the faculty and said, "Never during his incumbency of the office of president of Wilberforce had the degree been conferred on a worthier person.

Some few years ago the so-called well-to-do colored people in this city, especially the colored men who talk more and do less, organized a theater company. At least from five to seven thousand dollars was subscribed by the colored people to erect a theater. Discrimination in the theaters, white, in this city, was at fever heat. The so-called enterprising colored people organized and placed a white man in charge to manage the business. This white man was paid the greater portion of the money collected in commissions and the other portion was paid out for printing and literature. The company soon went out of existence and so did the people's money. Following this defeated organization, was the erection of the Howard Theater, with thousands of dollars behind it, by Mr. Benedict and Rosenthal of Baltimore, Md. A colored manager was placed in charge, by the name of Smith, but he soon passed in his official resignation, and now some one had to come forward to resurrect a dead corpse. Mr. Andrew J. Thomas, who successfully resurrected the Minneha which had died on the hands of the former manager, leased the Howard Theater and after the expenditure of a great deal of money, through the efforts of one man, Mr. Andrew J. Thomas resurrected the dead and today this one individual has been more of a benefit to the people than they have to themselves. Aside from his many free contributions, he has given every kind of talent among the colored people an opportunity to demonstrate its effectiveness, worth and merit. He has entertained successfully the masses, 90,000 colored people, by giving them from low raq to the best classic music and drama the world has ever written and produced. He today has caused the lame and decrepid, the saint and sinner to visit his theater. The Bee cannot help from speaking editorially of the great play at the Howard Theater this week and the actors in it, and particularly Mr. Muse who assumes the character of the Master Mind. This actor alone is an honor and a monument to the colored race and The Bee would suggest to the people not to allow this this play to leave the city without seeing it. Mr. Thomas deserves the highest commendation of the people and they should show their appreciation in some way to assure him as well as the critics of the race, that merit is to be appreciated and rewarded. Who will second this suggestion? WAR Those who want war are welcome to have it. It seems to The Bee that war with Mexico can be avoided just as easy as war with Germany, and Mexico hasn't been half as brutal as the former. Why do we want war at all? Why not arbitrate? In a civilized world where civilized people are supposed to live war should be disregarded. Those who want to play soldier are at liberty to do so, but in the meantime remember that the white soldiers insist on being in the front and the colored soldiers in the rear. No matter where the colored soldiers may be placed they will fight: no matter how badly they are treated by this country for whose honor and integrity they fight to sustain, the colored soldiers will do their duty. Let us see whether the white soldiers want the colored soldiers to remain in the rear or go front. The colored men are so enthusiastic to enlist and fight for their country, fifty of them enlisted a few days ago and seven hundred white men. The colored brother wants to know what he is going to war for before he becomes too enthusiastic. THE EX-SLAVE Birmingham, Ala., June 18—An impressive illustration of affection felt for the faithful "war-time" negro by the whites of this part of the South occurred near Domopolis, in the heart of the "black belt" of Alabama; recently when the body of Ben Coleman, an old negro bodyguard of members of the Coleman family, was tenderly borne to the grave by six prominent officers of the P. Conferrate veterans, and laid to rest in the Coleman family cemetery in a grave plied high, with choicest floral tributes. More than: 100 prominent white men and women attended the burial. Many of them wept over the old negro's casket, and the highest tribute of affection were paid the memory of the ex-slave. Ben lived on the Coleman place before the war between the States. When the conflict opened he entered the Confederate service as bodyguard to Capt. Cruse Coleman. For four years he was faithful to his master, and several times served in the ranks. When Captain Coleman was desperately wounded the negro slave carried him on his back from the battlefield to a place of safety and nursed him back to life. When the war was over Ben returned to the old plantation and declared he didn't want any freedom. He was given land to work and was provided for when there was a corp failure. To Ben was given the honor in the stirring days following the war that no other negro in the South enjoyed. It was a knowledge of the wounds of the Ku-Kluks. First came about through accidental knowledge the negro had acquired, and afterward from the necessity to trust some negro with certain information. It seems to be a pleasure to the white man in the South, the exmaster of the ex-slave, to extol the virtues of his once ex-slave ward and depreciate the virtues of the rising young negro. There is a great deal, it is true, in the young negro to study and much in the old negro to respect. There is no reason that the white man in the South should see so much in the young negroes to depreciate, because many of them today are hungry and thirsting for knowledge. In every state and country in this entire world you will find the lazy and shiftless individual who comes in for his share of condemnation, and many who are commended for excellent qualities. It seems to us that the ex-slave mentioned in the dispatch who was so much honored by the white people in his neighborhood belonged to the latter class from the knowledge imparted to him of the workings of the Ku Klux Klans. The before the war brother is fast passing away. There are but a few of them left. Those who are living seem to have the respect and confidence of their masters. THE VIRGINIA BLUE LAWS. The state of Virginia has passed and put in operation the "Blue Laws" which prevent the opening of stores or from carrying on any kind of business on a Sunday. This is all very good for false pretenses, but the most important law that has been overlooked in the "Blue Laws" of Virginia and that is a law against people charged with crime and lynched before their guilt or innocence is established. The law of humanity has been disgraced by almost every Southern state. The so-called "Blue Laws" of Virginia are shams and are like the sham doctrine of these sham temperance advocates. Shams are always passing some kind of a law or inaugurating some kind of a scheme to foot the people. The editor of the Philadelphia, Pa., Tribune has correctly sized up the fight in the District of Columbia. Yes, Chris, it was this so-called sham better element of negroes, followed by white thugs, who caused the District of Columbia to be thrown out of the republican national convention at Chicago. This so-called sham better element committed all the frauds and riots on the day of election. The editor of The Bee went to Chicago and he arrived in time to defeat a conspiracy to sell him out. The editor of The Tribune will be surprised to know that negro doctors, lawyers, churches and other sham negroes were purchased to do dirty work. Certain negro churches rented their churches in which political meetings were held. Negro pharmacists were purchased as well as negro ministers, with many honorable exceptions. These negro ministers opened the churches for the filthy lucre and you have not overdrawn the picture. Any negro attempts to defend the methods used by the Moose workers in the last election should be examined for insanity. The Committee on Credentials was satisfied that fraud of the dirtiest kind was show up and we urged that the entire election be thrown out which was done. OUR NATIONAL GUARDS. When President Wilson issued his order to the National Guards in this city to prepare to March to Ft. Myer by Wednesday afternoon, it threw consternation into the homes of the fathers, mothers, sisters and sweethearts. Some of the brave soldiers who have womedals on the exhibition fields were struck with heart affection and those who lost their hearts were fit subjects to a nervous asylum. For a few hours, young wives, sisters, mothers and sweethearts fainted in the public streets. The armories of the white and colored regiments and battalions were besieged, and their cries were heartrending. If such an order was the occasion of such scenes as were witnessed last. Wednesday, what will be the effect and scenes when our National Guards enter in a conflict with Mexico, or some other nation in deed and in fact? Commanding officers who demonstrated so much science in the use of guns while giving exhibition drills in our public squares during the past three weeks, lost all of their manly courage and peacock struts when they were called to put their science into actual operation. The Bee doesn't want it to be understood that every soldier in the National Guards was effected with a weak heart, but it does say that many of them wished that they had never seen the National Guards. The faithful black allies were ready and willing to shoulder their guns and fight for the honor and integrity of their country, but what will be their reward? They will fight for a country that will not protect them or their wives and children. These faithful black allies are insulted wherever they go and denied the sacred right guaranteed by the Constitution—the right to vote. Notwithstanding when President Wilson appealed to stand by him and protect his country, the black soldier came forth, knowing as they do, that they obeyed a call that will not benefit him, but will those who are endeavoring to crush him. If they are forced to pass through the south, how will they be met? They will receive similar treatment the 25th infantry received at Brownsville. Knowing as they do, what they may expect, the colored soldier is willing and ready to stand by the President and this government. ATTORNEY PEYTON The address of Attorney Fountain Peyton at the commencement exercises of the public schools last Monday night before from five to six thousand people was just such an address that should be well digested by the people. Mr. Peyton spoke fully one hour and a quarter. His denunciation of rings and cliques as an impediment to the progress of our schools was timely and pointed. His remarks may not have been wholesome food to his tasteless hearers, but it was well digested by those who knew what he meant. What the colored schools need are colored members of the Board of Education like Mr. Peyton. The Bee hopes that the Supreme Court in its appointment of new members on the Board of Education, will appoint persons who are not identified with rings and cliques. What the colored schools need today are men and women who know no person by the color of his skin or the curl of his hair. Mr. Justice Siddons and Mr. Justice Gould well know the kind and character of persons who should be appointed. PROF H M BROWN It is currently reported that Prof. H. M. Brown, the world's greatest educator, will be the next assistant superintendent of schools. The Bee is confident that the world will rejoice. PROFS. J. M. WALKER AND NEWMAN. May both of them return well, healthy and sound is the urgent hope of The Bee. They will fight for a country that will not protect them. There is a God in Israel. WAS THE BIBLE MISQUOTED? Rev. Taylor Preaches Sermon. To the Editor of The Post: To the Editor of The Bee: I attended the Florida Avenue Baptist Church last Sunday morning and heard the pastor, Rev. W. A. Taylor, discusc "Zaccheus up the Sycamore Tree." His interpretation was that Zaccheus, being a rich man, wanted to be off from the crowd, but as a matter of fact, Zaccheus, being a miner, of short stature, not being able to Christ through the crowd, went a good view of the Savoy. If the Bible is quoted it should be quoted correctly and not used as a weapon to hit members who may not agree with him. Zaccheus made haste and came down and Christ received him joyfully. Luke 19. 3rd verse: And he sought to see Jesus; who he was; and could not for the press for he was little of stature." A REGULAR ATTENDANT. PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS (By the Sage of the Potomac.) Well, after the great political cyclone which struck this city on the fifth of May and raged until June 7th, reaching Chicago at a velocity of lightning speed, leaving in its wreckage a number of political aspirants dead, loss of several thousand dollars, loss of a District delegate, loss of National Committeeman, and loss of ballot boxes, and ballots and loss of personal friendship, everything now is quiet; just like sunshine after storm. Why, some of the colored brethren; during the cyclone, handled so many real greenbacks which was, blowing around, they actually thought they were connected with the Riggs National Bank, but how sad after the wreckage, to find they are just where they were before, no more or no less; simply the same colored brother; some with a little less money, some with a little more, and some still picks and dealing in rugs as before. Right here in to say I mean no reflection on any one's occupation for a living, but when you elevate or at least try to elevate one who has done nothing but deal in rugs, they are generally the worse ones when public lights are turned on. Cobb who was struck by a cyclone last year, which passed through the United States Attorney's office, and landed. him in 609 F street practicing law, never did loose his head, for there aint no use for any colored brother to think that he has a fee simple deed on a government office. But poor Jim was on the wrong side the fence May 5th, when the great storm came. He assured us all he was as sure his side would win as he was the Riggs Bank would win, and just as sure everything was cinched and as safe as the rocks of Gibraltar. Well the Allies passed these rocks as easily as poor Jim was lost in oblivion after Uncle Sam dismissed him. When last he seen he was handling satchels and papers for the white bosses in Chicago. After all the colored brother is gradually loosening out everywhere. The negro democrats are certainly in one more jam, when it comes to leadership; wonder now who will follow them? Bishop Walters at one time was the real cheese, and thought that every fellow who landed a job must carry his, the Bishop's, O. K. all over his application. Now that Jim Ross, Ai Cosey, Nap Marshall are now all suffering under a delux edition of forgetfulness, when it comes to the recordship, President Wilson believes in no negro bosses, and when it comes to landing a job, any nation except a negro is acceptable. One thing certain, he picked a man who was up against Coelton's uname popped up. I am only anxious to see the Right Reverend Waldron, who was head of the National Independent Political League, come out and endorse the democrats, 'cause I remember during the campaign of 1912, he made the democrats believe he had a real organization that had a membership. So now let him show up.' Many reports are circulating that many changes will take place the coming school year. Gossip has it that Little Lord Fauntleroy's occupation is gone, owing to the sphinx-like silence on the auto ride which has never been cleared and which made his usefulness in the school come to an end; and lastly, he has lost confidence of the people by not explaining and making clear to the public his memorable midnight ride. There is no reason for the colored schools to suffer because of the lack of head, and at this question Dame Rumor says, has at last been settled. Whenever you want to hear the plain truth, just sit behind a bunch of cheese and cracker near fed society folks at the Howard Theater, and listen to their chatter. Well, from what I gleaned, after they rustled among the different teachers in the high schools, I found without the aid of a dictograph, they were not in love with Little Lord Roscoe Bruce. What they said about that bunch of diplomacy could not be kept quiet even with greenbacks, but just wait and watch the truning tricks. Goodbye, little boy, goodbye and similar little expressions were seen and heard all the first part of the week when the National Guards departed for Fort Myer. Mothers believed their sons were really going to war. Sweethearts really imagined they were being pulled asunder from the ideal of their hearts. Does this country really mean war or are they playing a game of poker? Speaking about war with Mexico, I was indeed awakened the other night and read the extras when President Wilson called for the National Guards to mobilize. Some of these tin soldiers were on a dress table summer and a few days ago gave exhibition drills, had the hysteries. O! but they left town and many of them are under the care of their physicians. Why. I had a little friend who turned ten shades darker when he was told that President Wilson wanted him at Ft. Myer.

THE EMERALD ISL In Area It Is a Little Smaller Tha Our State of Maine. One of the Few Sections of the Civilized World That Have Decreased in Numbers in the Past Century—it Beautiful Lakes and Rivers. The historical and political importance of Ireland has created in the minds of many Americans an exaggerated idea of the islands' physical proportions and the density of its population. The whole of Ireland embraces an area slightly less than the state of Maine, but with a population six times as dense. In comparison with the governing country it is three-fifths as large as England and Wales, with one-ninth the population. The Island is one of the very few sections of the civilized world where the population has shown a marked decrease during the last century. The first census of the island, taker in 1821, recorded a population almost 50 per cent larger than at the present time, while the census of 1841 showed the high water mark of more than 8,000,000, nearly twice the present population. This remarkable decrease, due largely to emigration, began after the famine brought about by the destructive disease which attacked the potato crop of 1845. This calamity resulted in the wiltdrawal of more than a million acres from cultivation within two years. Incidentally, the potato, which has played such an important role in the life of Ireland during the last 300 years, is not indigenous to the island but was one of the food gold mines discovered by the Spaniards in their conquest of Peru. The country is indebted to Sir Walter Raleigh for her "irish" potatoes, as it was he who brought them from what's now North Carolina and planted them on his estate near Cork in 1835. Ireland lies on the western rim or what was once a part of continental Europe. It has numerous mountains the highest being the McGillcuddy reeks (3,414 feet) in the Killarney region, but there is no mountain chain or elevated "backbone." There is a more or less well defined plain, however, the distinguisht feature of which is its bogs—the black bog producing the famous peat fuel, differentiated from the brown bogs of the mountains. If the whole island were brought to a mean level it would rise 400 feet above the sea. The lakes, or fougs, of Ireland are among its most widely appreciated physical characteristics, their scotic beauty being the inspiration of poets, painters and musicians. Nor have the Irish rivers been overlooked in appraisals of the island's beauties. The Shannon, which flows for 250 miles is the longest water course in the United Kingdom. It is navigated by large steamers for half its length and is connected with Dublin by means of the Grand and the Royal canals. Although coal is found in most of the thirty-two counties into which the is land is divided and there is consider able iron ore, mining is not an important industry. Gold was being mined in a modest way in County Wicklow a the time of the rebellion of 1709, but the works were destroyed and the source of the metal has never been re discovered. Agriculture and stock raising are the chief occupations of the inhabitants. At one time the woolen manufacture of the island were formidable rivals of English factories, but hostile legislation gave the industry a check from which it has never recovered. As the Irish have raised tax for centuries the manufacture of linen carly became one of the important industries of the country. Irish whisky is an important article of export, and one of the larges breweries in the world is located a Dublin. Shipbuilding in the great yards a Belfast is one of the most, widely known Irish activities, and the deep sea and coast fisheries afford a livell hood for many thousands. Thanks to the temperate influence of the west winds from the Atlantic, the thermometer rarely reaches freezing point in winter, while the average for a summer day is 60 degrees.

MOSBY'S PRESENT A Gift and Message That Tickler Lincoln's Sense of Humor. An Equivalent That Was Appreciated and Treasured by the Confederate Colonel—An Episode Born of the Capture of General Stoughton. Colonel John S. Mosby, the southern cavalry leader in the war between the states, accumulated many memories of that long and bloody struggle, but none which he treasured more jealous than a lock of dark hair wrapped in a faded yellow scrap of newspaper. The hair was cut from the head of Abraham Lincoln. It was Lincoln's own hand which cut it, and the great war president himself who sent it. In the spring of 1863 the Army of the Potomac lay along the north bank of the Rappahannock, about fifty miles south of Washington. The intervening country was, of course, in the possession of the Union troops. Off in the recesses of the Blue Ridge mountains, about thirty miles westward, was Colonel Mosby, with a body of plecked southern cavalrymen, seeking to do what injury he could to the Federal outposts and lines of communication. About the middle of March there encamped at Fairfax Court House, *w* village of about 500 inhabitants, halfway between Washington and the army on the Rappahannock, a force of several thousand Union troops under General Stoughton. From a military point of view, his camp at Fairfax was nearly as safe as Boston. Between his own force and the southern army, under General Lee, lay General Hooker's great Army of the Potomac. Even Colonel Mosby's small force—less than a hundred men—was thirty miles away. Nevertheless, Colonel Mosby determined to capture General Stoughton Selecting twenty of his best troopers he started one dizzily March afternoon for Stoughton's camp. It was after midnight when he ran into the first pletet, who was easily captured in the darkness. And thus, taking pletet after pletet in the black night. Colonel Mosby made his way without alarm into the village, until he entered General Stoughton's bedchamber. The unhappy officer' was compelled to dress and accompany his captors. The pitch black, rainy night and the fact that the men of both commands wore rubber, capes of the same style rendered it impossible for the prisoners. Stoughton included, to determine the number of the enemy. With hail a hundred prisoners and a hundred horses, Colonel Mosby quietly made his way out of the camp and was soon beyond reach of pursuit. The adventure created a stir in military quarters. Stoughton was roundly censured for allowing himself, thus to be stolen from the midst of his troops, although he was in nowise to blame. President Lincoln, whose sense of humor nothing could quench, remarked, when told of the affair, that he did not mind losing the general, but the hundred horses were a serious matter. "I can make a general with the scratch of a pen," he said dryly, "but I can't make horses." Shortly afterward Colonel Mosby, with a few companions, was reconnotering in the vicinity of Washington. On the road he encountered an old Dutch market woman taking her garden truck in her cart to paddle it through the Washington streets. Colonel Mosby stopped and questioned her. Noticing a pair of scissors at her belt and having heard of President Lincoln's comments on General Stougton's capture, he said: "Do you know Mr. Lincoln?" "Yah," replied the old woman. "Seen him often, I have." Taking the scissors, Colonel Mosby cut off a lock of his hair, and wrapping it in a piece of paper handed it to the old woman saying: "I'm Colonel Mosby. When you get to Washington go to the White House and tell the president that Colonel Mosby sent him this lock of his hair and say also that he is coming over into Washington some night to get a lock of the president's hair." The old market woman went her way, and Colonel Mosby rode back and forgot the incident. Some weeks later, however, when making another reconnaissance in that neighborhood, the old woman hailed him from a roadside cottage. Hurrying into the cottage, she brought forth a scrap of newspaper and delivered it to Colonel Mosby. "Here is a lock of President Lincoln's hair," she said. "He toll me to say to you that he but rather you would not come offer to see him and that he send it to you by me. Here it is!" - Youth's Companion.

Forces That Control the Curve They Take At Beach the Ground The trajectory of a rifle is the curve which the bullet describes in traveling from the muzzle of the rifle to its mark at a given range. This curve is the component of two forces—first, the momentum imparted to the bullet in the rifle barrel and, second, the downward pull of gravitation. Many persons have the erroneous idea that so long as a body is travelling ahead very fast it will not drop. The fallacy of this notion can be very, pretty shown by a laboratory experiment in which two rubber balls of the same size and weight are projected from a miniature catapult at precisely the same instant, but in such a way that ball A has double the velocity of ball B. Although ball A will travel twice as far as ball B before it strikes the floor, it will always be observed that the two balls strike the floor at the same instant. High velocity, then, does not free a rifle bullet from the effect of gravity, but it does enable it to travel a greater distance ahead before it has had time to fall any given distance. That is the true reason why high velocity tends to give a low trajectory. For comparison of cartridges the height of the trajectory at midrange is generally taken as the standard.—Outing. APACHES OF PARIS. Strife Over an Underworld Beauty Led to Their Undoing. The apaches of Paris are an order of the lowest and most dangerous criminals in the world. There is not a great central organization like the Italian orders and no fixed rules or assemblies. It consists merely of groups, of crooks operating in different quarters of the city. These little groups or circles take their names from the quarter of the city that they inhabit and have their own conventional signs, places of meeting, leaders and the like. The members are usually young, beginning as boys of ten or fifteen years. The women associated with these criminal bands are called marmites in the vernacular of the underworld. There was a struggle in Paris between the apache bands of Manda and Lecca, involving, like the Illiad, the abduction of a Helen. She was a famous beauty in the subterranean cafes of Paris and called, in the argot of Montmartre, La Casque d'Or. The very name has the ring of romance. She was betrothed to the leader of the Manda and was carried off by the rival band of Lecca. War followed between the bands—a bitter, vindictive, bloody feud. This contest destroyed the apache ascendancy in Paris—Melville D. Post in Saturday Evening Post. Threatened the King. The honor of knighthood is not one which appeals to everybody. Coke of Norfolk, who considered that he had a far better claim than the speaker to the designation of first commoner of England, strongly disliked the idea of a handle to his name. This fact was well known to George IV. When Coke was chosen to head a deputation praying the king to disinherit from his person and council those advisers who by their conduct had proved themselves alike enemies to the throne and people George announced that he would get even with him. "If Coke of Norfolk enters my presence," he declared, "I swear I'll knight him." The threat was repeated to Coke, who rejoined, "If he dares such a thing I swear I'll break his sword." And, as the sturdy Norfolk squire was quite capable of doing this, George refrained from carrying out his threat. - Foot of the Chameleon. In their tongue, their feet and their eyes chameleons differ remarkably from other lizards. Their feet, though possessing five toes, are divided into two grasping groups, looking like a hand in mittens, and only by close examination you perceive the presence of the two or the three opposing respectively, but so close together as to appear like one broad one. On the padded soles or palms of these grasping limbs you can feel and see the small—may one say—pali, which enable them to grasp so firmly that it is difficult to detach a chameleon from its foothold. These clinging feet, together with their prehensile tail, enable them to sustain themselves on the branches in the strongest gale. A drawing master, who had been worrying a pupil with contemptuous remarks as to his want of skill in the use of the penel, ended by saying: "If you were to draw me, for example, tell me what part you would draw first?"

Five hundred dollars was the amount raised during the day. Rev. Jas. Penn of Syracuse, N. Y., was the pastor in charge on Sunday at First Bantist Church. The congregation is soon to have a member meeting for the purpose of calling a pastor in the place of Rev. Jas. R. L. Diggs, who recently resigned the pastorate. Personal. Mr. Jas. Hurd of N. Y. was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Grimes last week. Mrs. Jennie R. Boyd and children were entertained on Sunday by Mr. and Mr. Silas Richards, of 2509 P St. N. J. H. According to reports from Atlantic City, N. J., the rain of the past week has kept many of the visitors indoors, thus causing a large depression in the restaurant business. Among the cqvention visitors were thousands of car builders from all parts of the country, the Sons of Civil War Veterans, and the New Jersey Bar Association. Numerous organizations have made reservations at the hotels for the latter part of this month. July and August will be a record breaking season if all reports are true. $650.00 Hotel Breakers will have a big public opening, the date of which will be given later. The two national conventions which have been held in the past two weeks have practically shown to the American people that regardless of party affiliations, prohibition will not be thrust upon them as a national issue. By next November it will be safe to say, will mark the death knell of the Anti-Saloon League. One of the greatest surprises which has been received this summer was when William Lacey, secretary of the New Ebbitt Walters' Association, blushingly announced his marriage to Miss Margret Lipscom of Afton, Va., several days ago. The bride and groom's future home will be at 1836 Oregon Avenue northwest. The recent change at Chevy Chase Club has placed Johnson Collins as head captain and Thomas Roach as second. Mr. Collins is considered one of the most efficient dining room officers in this section. The waiters of Harvey's restaurant were the guests of Mr. R. G. Whittingham of 1315 Corcoran street last Monday evening to a smoker. James W. Davis left Washington for Loon Lake, N. Y., for the summer season. James T. Hodges is expecting to join W. A. Martin in Cleveland, Ohio, at an early date. Mr. James W. Gray, no doubt one of the leading hotel men in the United States, will not leave the city un- Mary and William Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Frank Sprague of Lanham, Prince George's County, Maryland, observed their golden wedding anniversary with a reception Monday evening, May 22, 1916, at their home. Early in the forties they were born of slave parents and served their youthful days on a slave farm. Mrs. Sprague was a Miss Louise Allen, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Levi Allen, who died many years ago. Mr. Sprague is the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Robert Sprague. They were married May 20, 1866, and from this union eleven children were born, eight of whom are now living. The reception was attended by members of the family and invited guests. Maryland and Washington, D.C. O. behalf of children of the late Rev. V. Vaughan, D.C. presented the couple with a gold watch and locket, after which she made remarks befitting the occasion; the response was by Rev. O. C. Sprague, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Frank Sprague. The Symphonia Mandolin Orchestra, under the direction of Prof. Geo. A. F. Hanson, played throughout the evening. The guests numbered 65 or more. Many handsome presents were received, among which were gold coins amounting to nearly fifty dollars. "WHERE YOUR PATRONAGE IS APPRECIATED" BOARD'S DRUG STORE 1912% 14th STREET, N. W. WASHINGTON, D.

Invitations have been sent to all lodges, churches and the general public. The Public Hall Co., here gave a Faire Heights boost meeting Monday night; June 19. Attendees were given by Prof. G. W. Cook, and others. The good feeling of coming together seems to prevail all along the line. Fairmount Heights was nicely represented at the graduating exercises at the Convention Hall June 19 and at Normal School No. 2, June 20. Among those graduating were: Master James Alexander Armstrong, Capt. Carter L. Marshal, Miss Louise Lottie Marshall, Miss Emma Payne and Miss Elmora Booth.

Its Charm and Hospitality and the Motto It Lived Up To. Many frequenters have tried to express the charm of Mark Twain's household. Few have succeeded, for it lay not in the house itself nor in its furnishings, beautiful as these things were, but in the personality of its occupants, the daily round of their lives, the atmosphere which they unconsciously created. -From its wide entrance hall and tiny jewel-like conservatory below to the billiard room at the top of the house it seemed perfectly appointed, serenely ordered and full of welcome. The home of one of the most unusual and unaccountable personalities in the world was filled with gentleness and peace. It was Mrs. Clemens who was chiefly responsible. She was no longer the half timid, inexperienced girl he had married. Association study and travel had brought her knowledge and confidence. When the great ones of the world came to visit America's most picturesque literary figure, she gave welcome to them and filled her place at his side with such sweet grace that those who came to pay their duties to him often returned to pay still greater devotion to his companion. William Dean Howell, so often a visitor there, once said to the writer, "Words cannot express Mrs. Clemens—her fineness, her delicate, wonderful tact." And again, "She was not only a beautiful soul, but a woman of singular intellectual power." There were always visitors in the Clemens home. Above the mantel in the library was written, "The ornament of a house is the friends that frequent it," and the Clemens home never locked of these ornaments, and they were of the world's best. No distinguished person came to America that did not pay a visit to Hartford and Mark Twain. Generally it was not merely a call, but a stay of days. The welcome was always genuine, the entertainment unstated. Albert Biglow Paine in St. Nicholas. SHAKESPEARE'S WORKS. The Precious First Edition Quartos Are Now Next to Priceless. Few literary prophecies have been so strikingly fullilled as that of the "neuen writer" who in the preface which followed the revised title of the first edition of "Trollus and Cresidus" (1600) predicted of Shakespeare that "when he is gone and his commodities out of sale you will scramble for them and set up a new English inquisition." The number of first editions in quarto of Shakespeare's plays now known to exist is 144, with two fragments, of which eighty are in public ownership and sixty-four in private ownership. These volumes are worth not merely their weight in gold, but their weight in banknotes of high denominations. They represent sixteen different plays two of them having double texts, making an average of eight copies of each, and those which were most popular having already been pirated—"Romeo and Juliet," the first "Hamlet," "Henry V." and the "Merry Wives"—muster only seventeen copies among them. The authors of "A Census of Shakespeare's Plays in Quarto, 1594-1700" (Yale University Press), Henriette Bartlett and Alfred Pollard, estimate that most of Shakespeare's plays printed in quarto received editions of 1,200 copies each. The wear and tear of the centuries has thus disposed of many, thousands of these priceless books. The total is much larger if we add the quartos which appeared after the first editions, but before the "authorized" folio editions of 1623, issued by Shakespeare's colleagues of the theater. The survival alone of these 'intermediate quartos number 301 copies, of which 44 are in public and 157 in private ownership.-New York Post. The "S O S" Call. The original wireless signal of distress at sea, "C Q D," was adapted from the old "all stations" or general call of line telegraphy. But at the first international wireless, congress it was suggested and approved that a better call was "S O S," which, by its arrangement of dots and dashes, is different from any other call. "S O S" has no special meaning. It is not intended to express "Save our souls" or anything else equally dramatic. This call is an international one and has the same meaning in all languages. LEO S.

Few mothers realize that their very thoughts have to do with the molding of their, unborn children—giving them either helpful or injurious dispositions. Few mothers realize this, or seek to cooperate with their wives in the bringing forth of noble children, by stirring up the wife's mind with noble thoughts, high ideals—with things of beauty, grace, art, purity, reverence, spirituality. When people come to know the power of the mother's mind for good or for evil toward the children, it will undoubtedly work a radical change in many homes; for most people would rather do right than wrong, and one of their chief difficulties is ignorance. But while interested in mankind in general, we are never, to forget that the Bible is addressed to God's children, who have entered into a special covenant with Him through the Lord Jesus (Christ, and who have become New Creatures through the begetting of the Holy Spirit. The world will be taught and developed during the Millennium. But now, in the present life, the only opportunity for development is on the through the Lord Jesus Christ, and who have become New Creatures through the begetting of the Holy Spirit. The world will be taught and developed during the Millennium. But now, in the present life, the only opportunity for development is on the part of those begotten of the Holy Spirit and expecting a perfecting on the spirit plane in the Resurrection of the Just. As much, therefore, as we feel interested in the world, it is the Christian's duty to follow the Lord's example and be especially interested in his brethren in Christ. Many Christians have learned to govern their actions. Many have learned to control their tongues in a measure, remembering that the tongue with which we praise God could injure fellow creatures. (James 3:1-10). But restraint of conduct and of word is difficult unless the mind; the will, be brought into line with the will of God. Hence God shows us what He requires, and sets before us great and precious promises, to work in our minds and thus to carry out in our words and actions the Lord's will. In our Golden Text the Apostle points out the proper course for us to take in getting control of ourselves. Every thought should be challenged; for if an evil thought, a selfish thought, or a mean thought, a deprived thought, be admitted; it will germinate and bring forth a great defilement, which will affect our words and our conduct, and will extend to others. We may learn to do the challenging readily, even along the comprehensive lines laid down in this lesson. (1) Is the thought which is seeking consideration in our mind an honorable one? If so, it may pass in and be entertained. If not, it should immediately be expelled as an evil influence. (2) Is the thought suggested pure—not sensual, not selfish? If so, it may pass on for further consideration. If it fails to prove its purity, it should immediately be resented as likely to do great harm—as would the entrance into our house of things infected with a plague. (3) Is the thought lovely? Does it appertain to lovable things? Does it excite lovable influences, or is it more or less identified with hate, resentment, anger, malice? If lovely, it may pass on. If not, it must be at once expelled. (4) Is it reputable? Is it one which would be well thought of by all reputable people, if they understood everything connected with the thought? (5) Has the thought any virtue or is it praiseworthy in any sense of the word? If so, it may be admitted. If not, it should be repelled; for even if be blameless otherwise, the fact that it is not of any value is a reason for its rejection. We have neither time nor place for things that are merely not bad. We desire to have in our hearts and our minds things that are positively good helpful bene- be painless otherwise, the fact that it is not of any value is a reason for its rejection. We have neither time nor place for things that are merely not bad. We desire to have in our hearts and our minds things that are positively good, helpful, beneficial in some way. Otherwise, the thought should be repelled as a mere cumberer of our hearts, of our minds, needed for profitable things. Much novel reading is of this character—not evil, but not advantageous. Whatever we may be naturally, the people of God who follow the instructions of the Divine Word surely become noble people, helpful people, possessed of the spirit of a sound mind; and tiese things will be only a part of their preparation for the Kingdom and for the great work then to be entrusted to them as the servants of God, under their Redeemer and Head.

June 18.—Pasto. Russell preached a powerful sermon on the comprehensiveness of Divine Love.

PASTOR 'RUSSELL The speaker dem- June 18. — Pastor Russell preached a powerful sermon on the comprehensiveness of Divine Love. His text was, "God commendeth. It is love toward us in that, where we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." — Romans 5:8. The speaker demonstrated conclu- already from the Scriptures that God has great love for all the world; that He has permitted sin and death to continue for six thousand years in order to teach all His intelligent creatures a most important lesson; that the establishment of the long-promised Kingdom of Heaven is at hand, for which we pray, "The Kingdom come"; and that under Messiah's beneficent rule every human being who has ever lived shall have fullest opportunity, to return to God and to the ways of righteousness — the exception being those who have already had that opportunity under the Gospel Call; and that if, after this manifestation of Divine Love, any still prefer the ways of sin, they shall be "destroyed from amongst the people." "God So-Loved the World." It is a wonderful thought that our great Creator, infinite in power and majesty, before whom the mightiest cherubim and scaphim bow in humble adoration, should condescend to pay any attention to creatures so small as we, sinners by nature aid encompassed with infirmities and imperfections, the Pastor began. But our Lord Jesus Himself assures us that "God so loved the world that He gave His Only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him might not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16) It is very certain, that God's love for fallen men is not a love for their character, but a love of pity, compassion, benevolence; for there is little in their condition of rebellion and alienation from their Maker that is worthy of love. But God has pity for mankind in their fallen condition, and has provided for their recovery from the fall, through the death of our Lord Jesus Christ. This Divine arrangement for man's recovery provided not only that God's Son should die for humanity, but that He should become the great King to deliver and uplift the world from their helpless, degraded condition, and bring them back to the perfection in which Adam was created. This will be done under the Messianic Kingdom, which will soon be established on earth. Messiah is to take His great power and reign for a thousand years, to accomplish this purpose. Blessings of the "Iron Rod." Messiah's government will be a rule of the iron rod—inflexible, unbending, making no compromise with sin. All will be compelled to obey. This form of government will be absolutely necessary until rebellious man shall have learned the desirableness of righteousness. In their sinful, selfish condition man have had too much liberty. Might and oppression have crushed the weak and helpless. "Man's inhumanity to man has made countless millions mourn." — Psalm 2:9; Revelation 2:27; 19:15. But while ruling with an iron rod, the great King will also be the world's merciful High Priest. All necessary allowance will be made for inherited and cultivated weaknesses, Knowledge, enlightenment and Assistance up the Highway of Holiness (Isaiah 35:8, 9) will be given to all. As in the Jewish type the priests brought the people blessings through the Atonement Day sacrifices, so the great High Priest, Christ Jesus, and the under priests, the Church, will bless the world, as the result of the sacrifices offered for the world during this antitypical Atonement Day—the Gospel Age. This Royal Priesthood will be the future healers of the world. They will heal the diseases—mental, moral and physical—of every one who will accept the gracious terms and provisions then offered. Jesus' death as the Ransom-price for Adam and all who died in him was necessary in order to lift the death penalty resting upon the race. Thus far the merit of Jesus' death has been available only for His Church. For two reasons this Purchase-price has not yet been applied for the world: (1) In IHS infinite Wisdom, God purposed to give an object lesson through the permission of sorrow, pain and death for six thousand years as the result of man's fall, in order that all His intelligent creatures might learn thoroughly the nature and the effects of sin in all its hideousness. (2) God purposed first to impute Christ's merit to the Church, called to be our Lord's associates in the work of the world's up lift. As soon as the Church shall have been glorified with their Lord, the merit of Christ's death will be applied for all mankind; and the Restitution work will begin.—Jeremiah 31: 31-34.
