IF IT'S NEWS, IT'S IN THE BEE, FOR THE BEE IS A NEWSPAPER. THE BEE WASHINGTON Washington's Best and Leading Negro Newspaper-That's THE BEE VOL. XXXVII, NO. 6 WASHINGTON, D.C., SATURDAY JULY 8, 1911 NEW SCHOOL BOARD NEW SCHOOL BOARD Prof. H. M. Brown Urged for Assistant Superintendent of Schools—Many Changes Anticipated—The New Members of the Board of Education a Disappointment to the Combination. The appointment of the three new members on the Board of Education was a disappointment to the ring corporation. The two white members will take a hand in the shaping of the colored schools. The defeat of Dr C. W. Childs who was backed by Roscoe Bruce, Robert H. Terrell, who backed Prof. Hershaw, Rev. Bennett who was also urged, met with much disappointment. The friends of Dr. Childs were confident that their favorite would be appointed, as were the friends of Prof. Hershaw. Three members of the board of education were named Saturday July 1 by the District Supreme Court for three years term. They are the Rev. John Van Schaick, Jr., Mrs. Margarita Spalding Gerry and Dr. J. Hayden Johnson. They succeed Henry P. Blair, Mrs Edith Kingman Kern and Dr. Creed W. Childs, whose terms expired at midnight last night. The court had been urged to continue the three retiring board members in office. They announced yesterday, however, that as an administrative policy they considered that the time had come for making changes in the personnel. Mr. Blair was president of the board and had served for two three-year terms. Mrs. Kern and Dr. Childs had each served one term. Pastor of Church-of Our Father. Mr. Van Schaick is pastor of the Church of Our Father, Universalist. He accepted the pastorate of the church in 1900, after serving as assistant pastor of the church of the Divee Paternity in New York city. Before that he occupied the chair of history and literature at Emporia College, Kan. He was born in Cobleskill, N. Y., November 18, 1873. He was graduated from Union College, Schenectedy, N. Y., in 1894. Mr. Van Schaick has taken great interest in civic affairs since living in the Capital. He recently was in Belgium in charge of some phases of the American relief work there. Mrs. Gerry Born in Washington. Mrs. Gerry was born in this city July 28, 1870, a daughter of Harvey and Sophia Hutchinson Spaulding. She was graduated from Wellesley with a degree B. S. in 1891. She was married in 1898 to Philip Fusting Gerry, of Cat- onsville, Md., and Washington. Mr. Gerry died in 1908. After graduating from college Mrs. Gerry taught in Eastern High School until 1898. She is a Unitarian. She is the author of several books and contributor to magazines. Dr. Johnson 41 Yer- Old. Dr. J. Hayden Johnson s. 41 years old. He resides at 1842 Vermont avenue. He is a graduate of the local colored high school and of the pre- paratory department of Howard Uni- versity. He took a special course in Howard University and graduated from the medical department in 1900. He is a member of the board of managers of the colored Y. M. C. A. and first vice president of the Central Northwest Citizens' Association. He is chairman of the executive committee of the Parent-Teachers' Association of the Garnett-School.

He is president of the Men's Club of the Metropolitan Baptist Church and organizer of the Physi- ci's Reading Club. MEN OF MILITARY AGE The Bureau of the Census, while it is unable to make any estimate of the proportion who are able-hodied, estimate that the total number of male citizens and prospective citizens—that is, foreign-born persons who have declared their intention to become citizens—18 to 45 years of age, inclusive, is not far from 21,000,000. This estimate is based on the assumption that there has been an increase of approximately 10 per cent in the population of the country since the census of 1910. When that census was taken the total number of male citizens and prospective citizen 18 years of age and over but under 46 was 19,183,000. Of this number, 14,224,000 were native whites, 857,000 were foreign-born whites who had become naturalized or had declared their intention of doing so, 2062,000 were Negroes, and 50,000 were Indians. The number of foreign-born citizens is partially an estimate, since the census enumerators were able to obtain information as to citizenship from only about seventhhs of the total number of foreign-born males. Native whites thus represent about 74 per cent of the total, foreign-born whites nearly 15 per cent. Negroes nearly 11 per cent, and Indians about three-tenths of 1 per cent. During the Civil War, when the population of the country, exclusive of the seceding states, was less than two-fourth as great as the present population of the entire United States, the total number of men serving in the Federal armies at one time and other was approximately 2,500,000 use allowance being made for ducate enlistments, that is, cases in which men enlisted more than once). The following table gives, by states, the total number of males 18 to 45 years of age enumerated at the census of 1910. The figures in this table include approximately 1,796,000 alien whites and 92,000 Chinese, Japanese and others together representing about 9 per cent of the total, who would be ineligible for military service. The Census Bureau has not compiled the numbers of these classes of the population, within the given age limits, who were living in each state in 1910. Taking the country as a whole, however, the probable increase in population between 1910 and 1916 will approximately counterbalance the number of alien whites, Chinese, Japanese, etc., included in the figures for 1910, so that these figures may be accepted as roughly representative of the number of male citizens and prospective citizens 18 to 45 years of age, inclusive, in each state and in the United States in 1916.

A Dollar Sermon Says the Writer— Things, that Puzzle Ruskins. Editor of, The Bee: In an issue of The Bee published about two weeks ago, we read an extract from a sermon said to have been preached by the pastor of the Florida Avenue Baptist Church. We have been expecting to see some reply to this article, but thus far we have seen none. Whether the author of this article has reported the sermon correctly, or not, it matters little with us, because we are aware that these sermons are heard in more than one of our pulpits in this city. It is a notorious fact that a great majority of the sermons preached to our people are dollar sermons and get-back-at-you sermons. The people seldom or never, in these days of get rich quick, hear a soulsaving sermon. The average negro preacher of to-day appears to be a peculiar mortal; unless he can run his church and everybody, right or wrong, in it; he will preach sermons from the Bible and give names that would puzzle Ruskin, the master of naming themes, with this difference, that Ruskin always had something in all of his discourses upon which the intellect of the most distinguished scholar could feed upon. Read him when you will, and you will find this to be true of him. But, the strangest thing of all is how so many of our pastors can hold their jobs under the kind of preaching that they give their people from Sabbath to Sabbath, when in many instances nothing they preach is real gospel. It is only a quarrel of a get-back-at-you sermon. We do not believe that a white con- COL. HENRY LINCOLN JOHNSON. Leader of the Republican party. South and National Negro leader. The man who defeated the lily whites in the South. gregation would stand for such hogwash as this for one minute; and why should we? Is it not a reflection upon our manhood and womanhood? If there is one thing more than another that is damning and filling up hell with our noble young men and women it is these dollar sermons and get-back-at sermons because they have a general rule, not one scintilla of the gospel of Christ in them. It is a "mime" and not Jesus all the way; and the young people can see this. Hence, they are lead to believe that the Bible is a sham and its doctrines mean nothing. M. E. Church; Rev. F.

Roy Scouts will cheerfully do ev Coming a little nearer to the notorious extract, Zacchaeus was a noted character. He had accumulated a fortune. Some said that this was accomplished by robbing the poor, but he could not see it in this light. At any rate he endeavored to justify himself against this charge by appealing to the Mosaic laws. Perhaps, had he been tried for this charge, he would have been acquitted by this law of any wrong dealing. Yet, he was not satisfied about this accusation. It had put him in bad in Jericho, and he was anxious to remove this stain from his character, deserving or not. This doubtless led him to the Master. He was in trouble on this point, and was desirous to discuss the case with one whom he had heard so much about to the end that he might be able to set himself right in the minds of his countrymen. He saw the Christ. Had a discussion with him about his grievances. He received the information that he, so much needed, and more than this, he received salvation. Is there a Bible student who would be rash as to say that this very distinguished man, was a bigot, when he climbed up the tree to see the Son of man? If so, let him speak. It is not our intention to show why Zacchaeus went up the tree because a child could not fail to understand the reading of the Scriptures on this point but to show that this man was everything else except a bigot, of which this extract would make him that is now under consideration. It was love for the Son that drew him to Him.—John 14:23. A READER OF THE BEE. July 5, 1916. SHACK ENDEAVOR Shack Endearow was dedicated Sunday, July 2, 1916, by a branch of the Christian Endeavor Society of the District of Columbia at Camp Pleasant, the summer outing camp at Deanwood Heights. The shack is a very attractive, flyproof, up-to-date camp nursery, a building 13x18, open on all four sides and surrounded by o 10-foot porch on all sides. Here alling little colored babies are cared for and given a new lease on life. The meeting Sunday was attended by between 400 and 500 people and impressive ceremonies were held in turning over the key from the chairman of the Social Service Committee. Miss Anna S. Payne. to Rev. Dr. Willey, trustee of the International Christian Endeavor and by him turned over with an impressive address to the Camp Pleasant Committee, Prof. Geo. Cook. The movement for the Shack was started by Miss Anna S. Payne one year ago, who at the time was chairman of the Whatsoever Committee, Metropolitan A. M. E. Church C. E. League. She invited all the Endeavor societies to join in the movement, which they did, and have worked unitedly until the splendid result was gained. Mr. L. G. Cuney and Mr. W. H. Oliver have ably assisted in all the work. Prominent among the speakers were Rev. C. H. Stepteau, Metropolitan A. [M. E. Church; Rev. F. Grimke, Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church; Rev. Emory B. Smith Lincoln Temple Congregational Church; Rev. J. De Witt, Wilson, assistant pastor, Metropolitan A. M. E. Church; Prof. Geo. Cooke, Mr. and Mrs. Ufford, Mr. Faust of the Summer Outings Committee, Associated Charities; Mrs. A. E. Waddleton, Junior superintendent A. M. E. Church, and presidents of several societies. BOY SCOUTS With the National Guard on the border Boy Scouts will cheerfully do everything they can to help in the community. Boy Scouts took part in the Field Meet held at the Mott Playground on the 4th. Scoutmaster N.F. Henry was in charge of the Boy Scouts. Scoutmaster John Randall and his troop visited St. Monico's Church last Sunday and were made welcome. They are to use said church as a meeting place and other troops are to be formed. Scoutmaster Randall is very fond of hiking and carrying his troop out every Sunday. Last Sunday they hiked 20 miles, gathered blackberries, huckleberries and cherries and visited Camp Pleasant at Deanwood. They found two young owls. Scoutmaster Randall and his Assistant Scoutmasters William McCoy and Herbert Randall are working very hard to make their lawn fete and concert to be held on July 10 at 1232 Walter Place southeast a success. Boy Scouts will assist the ladies of the Tuesday Evening Club at their picnic to be held at Castle Park on Saturday, July 15th, 1916, from 2 to 12 o'clock p. m. Come out and witness our demonstration. Scoutmaster N. F. Henry carried a bunch of Boy Scouts to the Daisy Field on Florida avenue, near Third street northeast, last Saturday to do some training for their second class examination. They played, baseball and had a fine time. Our Boy Scouts showed their patriotism on the 4th by doing "good turns" instead of their usual hike. Scoutmaster N. F. Henry carried a number of Boy Scouts to Camp Radio in the morning and to the Mott Playground in the afternoon where they took part in the Field Meet and swimming races. Two Scouts, Edward Walker, 2124 P street northwest, and Charles Cross, 1150 Twenty-first street northwest, demonstrated their ability as life savers by rescuing a boy who was taken with cramps while in swimming at the Basin on Monday.

The District Baptist Young People's Union of the city met June 28, 1916, at the Liberty Baptist Church, Dr. Powell, pastor, in its quarterly session. According to the constitution of the convention, the second quarterly session of each year has been set aside for Mission work. Program. Opening song—Convention. Remarks—W. F. Turner, president. Devotional—Dr. Powell, pastor. Song—Convention. Welcome address—B. A. Judkins. Response—Bro. Porter. Song—Convention. Missionary Sermon—Dr. A. Wilbanks, pastor Tenth Street Baptist Church. Song—Convention. Report of Delegates—Dr. W. H. Jernagin. Registration Reports of Unions. Dr. Wilbanks preached from the 1st chapter of the book of Daniel and the 8th verse, "But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the King's meat; nor with the wine which he drank." The Doctor explained why the Baptists should have a B. Y. P. U. in the Baptist Church. He said that it was a child of the Baptist Church and a place where the history and doctrine can be taught effectively and that it, the Baptists, are not doing more than other organizations by training and molding the sentiment of its young Christians and followers in the Baptist doctrine—one faith, one Lord and one Baptism. The Doctor made some excellent comparisons of Daniel and the modern Christians. He said that many Christians of these modern times are defiling themselves by drinking, dancing, card-playing, theater-going and in many other ways which is causing weaklings in the churches and the Lord cannot use them that are not strong and healthy. He said that the church was a spiritual organization and when the spirit was taken away from the church it was like all other organizations. Dr. Wilbanks pleaded for higher grounds for the Christian church in his masterly way. He impressed all who listened to him and they were convinced of his earnestness. After the sermon Dr. Jeragin, who represented the City Union at the National Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Congress which convened at Memphis, Tenn., delivered his reports from the congress. He said that there were 2,000 delegates from all, over the country assembled and that 600 were from Mississippi alone. The session was a success in every way. He gave the names of the officers elected and among whom was the name of Dr. W. H. Jernagin as vice president at large of the congress. The convention then rallied for Missions and raised $15.26. There were several ministers present and among those who made short talks were Revs. Sayles, Daniel Washington and Powell also Tarranzi of Cape Verde Island. Bro. W. F. Turner, the president, deserves credit for his skill in the management of the convention of the District. He has enlarged its financial growth, its spiritual growth and its numerical growth and the future prospects are bright for even greater accomplishments. The president has several new features to be adopted by the convention. The next meeting will be published. Join the Royal Knights of King David. TRINITY CHURCH, MT. PLEASANT. Rev. Sylvester L. Corrothers to Speak. Rev. Sylvester L. Corrothers, the newly appointed pastor of the Trinity A. M. E. Zion Methodist Church, Morton street, between Georgia and Sherman avenues, will preach his first of a series of sermons on the "Fundamental Virtues in Race Building" tomorrow morning at 11 a. m. and in the evening the old time or new time religion. Last Sunday the largest crowd that that has ever been in attendance at this church turned out. Dr. Corrothers is a drawing card wherever he goes. His church is always on the map when he is around. This church has been organized into groups of 40 to bring to a successful termination the thousand, dollar rally which will take place the first Sunday in October. Prof. Broaden Axe will render a vocal solos at this church Sunday morning and evening. The Lynching Record for the First Six Months of 1916. According to the record kept by the Divisions of Records and Research of the Tuskegee Institute there have been during the first six months of the year 25 lynchings. This is 9 less than the number, 34, for the same period last year. Of those lynched 22 were negroes and two were whites. In the first six months of 1915 there were 24 negroes and 10 whites lynched. Five or one-fifth of those put to death were charged with rape. Other causes of lynchings were slapping a boy, brushing against a girl on the street, insult, charged with attempting to assist son accused of murder to escape, robbing store, killing officers of the law and murder. Eight or almost one-third of the total lynchings occurred in the state of Georgia. Join the Royal Knights of King David. THENATIONAL GUARD THENATIONAL GUARD Camp Notes. On Sunday last at 6 P. M. Rev. Alex. Wilbanks, preached to the men of the 1st. Separate Battalion mounting the seat of his automobile the Reverend opened the services with one of his favorite campaign hymns, his subject was, "take Jesus with you," fully a thousand people, white and colored assembled on the road and took part in the services. This was the first religious services held in camp. Rev. Lewis S. Sheaf, formerly pastor of the Seventh Day Adventist Church was a visitor at Camp Radio Tuesday and he likewise held services, but as everything was hurrying to get away the soldiers did not have time to attend the services in large numbers, the writer wishes to thank the above mentioned devines in behalf of the 1st. Separate Battalion of which he is a member for the inspiring remarks. Men Leave for the Front Unpaid, Many Families Destitute. There was much shedding of tears in camp Radio during the past two days of the stay of the colored troops, many of the men who answered the call to arms on June 19, left good positions, rents unpaid, and in one instance, brought to the writers attention notice has been served on one family to disposes. The troops did not recieve their pay before leaving and it was a pitiful sight to see wives following the officers around making inquiry as for their husbands pay. One Private Duckett, of C Co. leaves a wife and nine children to be looked after. First Separate Battalion Entrains for Blabee, Arlz. Led by Maj. Jas. Walker, the First Separate Battalion left for Bisbee, Ariz, Tuesday night at 7 P. M. The battalion was marched to the parade grounds at Ft. Myer, and in a short, but emphatic manner Brigadier General Harvey told the men that they were about to leave and that they had always made good, and that they were expected to maintain the reputation made by them, among the other things he said, "you are going to work, and not going to the Sea-shore for a vacation." Several promotions were made shortly before the men left, 1st. Lieut. J. E. Smith was made Captain, Sergts. Jas. B. Lohax, and Thos. Abrams, were commissioned 2nd Lieuts. similar commissions were granted Corp. Ros3, and Priv. D. Sanford, Lieut. West Hamilton was also commissioned 1st Lieut. The physical examinations held last week at camp Radio disqualified quite a large number of the men, bad teeth, and defective vision caused about 60 per-cent of the disqualifications. It is surprising to know however that the proportion of disqualifications among the colored troops is lower than among the whites. Corp. Al. Lawson of A Co., one of the most popular non-coms in camp, will be missed from the Doves, Magnolia, etc., where he stood out. Prof. Evans of A Co. is happy now that he got that blow in the eye; it disqualified him and he will seat a few more persons in Florida avenue Church. Capt. Sylvester Epps of B Co. leaves three motherless children behind; his wife died less than a month, ago. Capts. C. C. H.Davis and Louis Patterson are Mail Men. Trumpeter Sneed knows the mall call alright. Hope Maj. Walker will preserve those beautiful teeth; safety first. Major, if you get into a fict encounter with a greater. SECOND. BAPTIST CHURCH. Rev.

The President appointed a citizen of the District of Columbia, notwithstanding his promises to appoint an outside colored democratic politician. He named a young native Washingtonian who is fully qualified for the place. He hasn't a mean bone in his body, which makes him popular with the people, irrespective of color or political affiliation. He is as popular with the republicans as well as with the democrats, and there is only one thing The Bee would suggest and it is confident that there are others who second this suggestion, to wit: In the appointment of a deputy, let him be a simon pure democrat and not a converted white washed republican. The Bee as well as the people must extend thanks to the President for the appointment, because he has appointed a democrat in whom the people have confidence and respect. The entire Costello family consists of high class people who possess souls as well as hearts. The subject of this article, John F. Costello, is identified with the people who hope that the Senate will no longer delay his confirmation. There is not the least blemish against his name or political record, and neither can it be charged that he is incompetent. Not since the office has been established has a home man been appointed before and for that reason alone. The Bee feels elated. Although a democrat and The Bee a simon pure republican organ, he has always had its support. The Bee has always recognized and commended merit, regardless of party and in Mr. Costello it has found merit. Let the Senate confirm him is the wish of the people. NOMINEE FOR RECORDER OF DEFDS. Frederick Douglas was the first man of color to be appointed to the position of Recorder of Deeds. This took place under the administration of President Garfield thirty years ago. Since that time J. Monroe Trotter, C. H. Taylor, H. P. Cheatham, J. C. Dancy and Henry Lincoln Johnson have filled this office. The office of the Register of the Treasury has also been filled for the past thirty years or more by men of color, but under the present administration numerous applications were made by white men and finally an Indian was appointed. The office of Recorder of Deeds has remained vacant for the past two years. Now President Wilson has nominated John F. Costello, white, a Democratic National Committeeman, for the district. Of all the offices to which the colored man was eligible and which he had filled by reason of long-established custom, there are only two for which President Wilson did not desire a change, namely, Minister to Liberia and Justice of District Municipal Court. His actions contrast strongly with the promises he, made to Bishop Waters four years ago in order to get the vote of the colored people. His actions are now speaking louder than his words, asking the colored citizens to vote this year for a friend and not a foe.—Brooklyn: Advocate. The Bee wishes to state to its contemporary that the office of recorder of deeds in this city is a closed incident. The democratic administration was not in the least indebted to negro democrats. Every negro democrat, with but one exception, was paid in full for services rendered and the receipts in full held by the treasurer of the democratic campaign committee will show it. Mr. Ralph E. Langston of New York was the only negro democrat who didn't hold out his mit. So far as the democratic administration is concerned, the office of recorder of deeds is a closed incident. --- PREPAREDNESS PHILOSOPHY A call was made some time ago for a preparedness parade in which many thousands, enthusiastic, ready-to-go-to-war American citizens in the District of Columbia participated. The white citizens took the positions of honor, while the colored citizens took positions in the rear. When actual war was anticipated and these citizens directed to enlist and mobilize, the number that enlisted among the whites could not fill a room 20 by 40 feet. A sufficient number of the rear guard enlisted to overequip a full battalion. Now, this is the peculiar philosophy of preparedness. The first blood that has been drawn in defense of American manhood and honor has been the blood of colored Americans who have failed to receive protection of their own government. The black only complains when he is badly treated. This is what you call preparedness philosophy. HIS LAST WILL. The Estate of the Late Rev. James H. Lee, D.D.; now in the Probate Supreme Court of the District of Columbia. The petition of Walker J. Robinson; executor mentioned in the Last Will and Testament of Rev. James H. Lee, late Pastor of the Third Baptist Church, 5th and Que Sts. N.W., of Washington, D. C. was presented to the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, holding a probate term, June 27, 1916, for admission to probate and record. By the terms of the Will, Rev. James H. Lee's personal property is left to his three daughters: Nanna R. Nash, of Los Angeles, Cal., Clara B. Allen, of Washington, Cal., C. Della L. Lee of Haverhill, Mass; and bequests M. L. Taylor, and husband, Dr. M. L. Taylor, of.Columbus, G., Laulu Steele, Frank Steele, Louis Steele, Elnora Brown, Nannie Bell and Laura R. Boyd. The Justice holding the said Court signed the decret; bond was fixed at two thousand five hundred dollars; the bonding company qualifying in the amount for the executor, and the Court directed the issuance of Letters Testamentary to him upon the estate. At the request of Rev. James H. Lee, during his life time, all his personal legal business, and that of the Third Baptist Church, was done through his member and co-church worker, Lawyer Perl W. Frisby, which the denomination and race might profit by this laudable example by giving encouragement to the professional and business man of the church, as did brother Lee, who for thirty years was pastor. Walker J. Robinson, James G. Mathews, Mrs. Louise T. Holmes, and Attorney Perri W. Frisby are looking after the welfare of Rev. Lee's family. In the near future there are to be held memorial exercises under the supervision of the Church, and the Committee who had charge of the funeral ceremonies, in which all denervation are to participate; this Committee will request the church to make a suitable appropriation to erect a monument to answer dual purpose of this deceased Pastor, and his predecessor, Rev. Jefferson, whose grave are adjacent to each other. NEWS NOTES HERE AND THERE. Rev. J. T. Clark D.D., pastor of Mt. Horeb Baptist Church, has gone south in search of better health. Rev. C. H. Fox is still carrying on the work for him, and things are moving on nicely under Rev. Fox's guiding hand. The morning service Sunday, July 2, was well attended. Rev. Fox was assisted by Rev. Eugene-Brooks and a missionary from Africa was also present, who was given a collection of 3,855. The night service was attended. Rev. Bruce Matheson. The Lyceum met at 6 o'clock p.m. and there was a good attendance and well rendered program. Mrs. M. E. Jackson spent three days in New York city on a visit to relatives. She had to cut short her trip on account of business. Mrs. Jackson is engaged in the feed business in southwest Washington, and, of course, the horses, and mules and cows, and chickens, all have to be fed. See her at 523 Third street southwest. The funeral of Rev. Johnson of Arlington, Va., took place Sunday at St. John's Baptist Church. He was a prominent citizen of that vintyyn and the funeral was larger than attendance. He was a Baptist. Sunday School Union is a progressive organization and is doing a great work in the Christian, uplift of our young people. Their quarterly review exercise in which five Sunday Schools were represented at First Baptist Church Sunday night at Rosslyn, Va., was interesting under lead of Mr. Thomas. PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS (By the age of the Potomac.) When old Diagones was walking through the streets of Greece in the day time looking for an honest man, he didn't think that honest men in this vicinity would dare to walk out in the day time with police protection, especially if any of the last May near statesmen were anywhere near. My friend, Rev. Richard Henderson of the Government. Printing Office seems to be the only ministerial holdover. Just why the Rev. can't get a practice church, the Sage is unable to state, but perhaps Dr. S. Pierre could throw some light on the matter. The later report that is in circulation is the continued union of Dr. Pierre and Sam Harris. Sam is a smooth individual and one of those West Enders that can see through a ten inch wall. Speaking of Rev. Henderson, Dr. Pierre, Sam Harris, Arthur Boston and others in that combination of hard to beat, it has been suggested by those in this "gallexny" of near statesmen to organize a religious endorsed party. A little retirement to the shades of rest would no doubt do this combination good. Walter Singleton's next resolution in the T. M. P. L. will be 'one of condolence to the Williston ticket. Where was Dr. Charles H. Marshall when this resolution was introduced and adopted by a narrow margin? Singleton has been quite active in local politics, too active for his own benefit no doubt. The latest candidate for surgeon in charge of the Freedman's Hospital is a Washington physician. He has the support of a large class of statesmen. If you haven't heard the news about this "dissecting bug" you will very shortly. The preparedness demonstration didn't cut any figure last month so far as this institution was concerned. It has always struck me that Dr. Mitchell would make a good surgeon in chief. He is some surgeon as well as a good physician. With such men on his staff as my friend Dr. Sam. M. Pierrie, Dr. Brooks, and a few others would lend dignity and usefulness to the institution. The latest report is that my dear old friend, Prof. H. M. Brown, is to be the next Superintendent of Schools. Well, don't you know that he would make a crackerjack official and the teachers would welcome such a change. Wth Prof. James E. Walker at the head of the High School, who succeeded Prof. Williams, who resigned of his own volition, and I regret it, don't you, because he has been a good school, official. Prof. Walker will certainly be taken care of on his return. Prof. Newman should then be at the head of the Vocational School. He was the mastermind to introduce the system in our school. Prof. Newman is a genius and liked by everybody. The teachers think the world of him and the citizens think that he ought to be in charge of the vocational school. Prof Wyatt Lewis then should succeed. Prof. Walker. He is the logical man for the place, if Prof. Walker goes in the High School. Referring te Prof. Williams, he is going to Howard University to establish a library school. This is what is needed in this country among the colored population. The denizens of Avenue de Nig and other whereabouts were disappointed at the appointment of the new board members last week. The old Sage told you that a surprise would be sprung. Bob Terrell assured my friend Left Hershaw that he would certainly come over. The Sage told Left that his visit to Lord Fauntelroy's would certainly get him left. Left said he didn't care to better than that. There will be a few more surprises and take it from me. I told Dr. Childs that he was alright but his companions and defense of Lord Fauntelroy would certainly put him out of business. Take it from me, Lord Fauntelroy has got to go and that very soon. The Sage knew what was going to take place and he knows what is to take place. There are a few deceptive individuals in and around yet. It will take a little time to clean out the stable. Don't come to the conclusion that the Sage doesn't know what he is talking about. Well, my good friend, Armond W. Scott, will be elected without any opposition in Philadelphia next month. The Sage will be on hand to see that the work is well done. Armond never gives up a fight. Why, they just have to elect Armond to get rid of him. One of Tom Jones' friends said to the friend of the Sage Wednesday, that on Tom's arrival from Chicago, he said that he had received a long distance phone to come to Chicago Ill, at once. This phone message, he said, came from Murray Crane. Tom didn't decide to go until he had received the second phone call. He responded to the second call and went to Chicago, and when he was seen he was standing on the outside of the convention entrance in the rain, with an admission ticket. Murray Crane passed at the time and Tom said to Ortway Holmes, "Who is that man?" "O," said Ort, "Why man that is Senator Lodge and the other man is Murray Crane." Just why Murray Crane didn't recognize Tom and Tom didn't recognize him. I would suggest that you ask Charles S. Williams. This is only one of the many political flights of Tom Jones. THE musical and literary entertainment given by the Music Study Club, composed of pupils of Miss Jarle C. James at the Nash Memorial, M. E. Church on Friday, June 23, was a great success in every way. Mrs. L. A. Carter, wife of the pastor of the church, was one of the pupils and played an important part in solo work on the program. The closing exercises of this club was held at the Nash Memorial Church parsonage on Friday, June 30. The parsonage was beautifully decorated with a variety of roses and ferns. Prizes of merit were awarded to Mrs. L. A. Carter for best work in the Study Club, and to Miss Freeman for best work in the quartette. At the close of the exercises Miss James was presented with a handsome bouquet of flowers, given by her pupils for the work she had done for them. Mr. and Mrs. John Matthews. and Miss Lillian Everheart. sister of Mrs. Matthews. spent Tuesday, July 4; at Harper's Ferry, W.

Forces That Control the Curve They Take to Reach 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 traveling 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 the Illad, 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—n bitter, vindictive, bloody feud. This contest destroyed the apache ascendancy in Paris. -Melville D. Post in Saturday Evening Post. AFTER GASOLINE, WHAT? May I In Time Learn How to Run Motorcars With Alcohol. Must we give up motorcars altogether? Must we take back the horse? No mechanical engineer will assent to that. Motorcars we shall always have, but motorcars which will be driven by some new fuel. What fuel? Perhaps alcohol, perhaps kerosene. Both have been the subject of experiment. If either is employed a new type of engine must be created. Alcohol is a product of organic nature. Every blade of grass, every plant, every tree, whether dead or alive, is a source of alcohol. Not until the world has been stripped of vegetation—and that can never happen so long as there are water, sunshine and soil—will the supply of alcohol be exhausted. And when that day dawns man himself will perish. Of alcohol we have made but little use as a source of power. Coal, oil and waterfalls have been too abundant; they need not be manufactured. But alcohol is not stored up in pockets of which it gushes at the tap of a hammer. A mass of sawdust, a heap of potatoes—in a word, some form of vegetation—must be chemically converted into a water clear liquid in which is stored all the energy that the sun has poured upon the foliage of the earth. Alcohol is distilled sunshine. As the oil supply of the world nears depletion, as the price of oil foels and distillates increases, alcohol will drive more and more of our machinery. The logs that we now permit to rot in our forest, the stumpage that reckless humbermen leave in their tracks, the dry husks of corn that farmers now burn in the fields, all these will propel the motor of the future, in the form of alcohol—Waldemar Kaempffert in McClure's Magazine. Join the Royal Knights of King David. No person who values his self respect and who doesn't want to be lled to will ever say "Do you follow me?" when expounding a subject to a friend or acquaintance. There are so many reasons against the use of this interrogatory that only two or three of the best ones need be mentioned. If you are enunciating words of wisdom the chances are nine hundred and ninety-eight out of nine hundred and ninety-nine that you are not being followed. On the other hand, if you are enunciating foolish words it makes no difference whether you are being followed or not. A still more important reason, however, is embodied in the simple but inescapable fact that no man can ever be quite sure that he understands what the other fellow is trying to express. Therefore the proper answer to the question "Do you follow me?" is always, "I don't know." That, of course, makes the question itself absurd, and it is made still more absurd by the fact that few are honest enough to answer, "I don't know," but insist upon lying and saying, "Oh, yes; I follow you all right enough." It is clear, therefore, that the effort is quite hopeless. If you have something to express all you can do is to pick out the most intelligent person or persons you can find, express your idea as well as you can and let it go at that. Do you get the idea?-Life. First Footpaths In 1762. The student of old London, noticing the whitened curbs in the streets today, is inevitably reminded that the institution of the footway is really of quite recent date. It was not indeed until after the Westminster paving act of 1762 that footways became at all general. Before that time man and beast took the same road. Many of the old iron posts, which are still to be seen in Regent street and elsewhere, showing the crown and the monogram of the Georges indicate the corners of these first footways.—Christian Science Monitor. Curiosities of Etymology It is extraordinary how words for the same thing differ in even so small a country as England. Take "left handed," for example. In Gloucestershire such a person is described as "scrammy," in Staffordshire he becomes "craggy."

Mystery of Jean, the Hairdresser of Marie Antoinette. There are many puzzling features of French history, but perhaps the most puzzling of all, though it has to do with a comparatively minor personage, is that surrounding the mystery of the hairdresser of Marie Antoinette. It is not a common occurrence for a person to die twice, a circumstance which has occurred in the case of this hairdresser, who was known as Jean Antie; alias Leonard. This Antie, or Leonard, was a Gascon, born in 1738, who acquired a reputation in Paris by reason of his great ingenuity in building the elaborate coiffures of the time of Louis XVI. In 1791 he was lodged at the Tulleries as hairdresser of the queen. When Marie Autonette and the royal family made their fruitless attempt to flee from France, Leonard was sent ahead as a scout. He was setzéd, brought back to the French capital and condemned to be executed as a traitor to the state. So far as any one then knew, he was duly decapitated, his death being properly recorded in the register provided for the purpose. Investigation has, however, elicited the interesting fact that the ex-hairdresser was very much alive in Russia in the year 1814, and to complicate matters the Paris register showed his second death certificate under the year 1820. The question naturally arises, just how did Leonard manage to evade the penalty that every one had no doubt he had suffered? A great many guesses have been ventured, and the following explanation, offered by one puzzled historian, seems of all of them the most reasonable: One day while a group of condemned were awaiting their turn for execution the guillotine broke down and had to be repaired. A number of victims had been executed; ten or a dozen were obliged to stand waiting until the repairs had been accomplished. It appears that one individual, the twentieth on the list, whose hands were, as was the custom, bound behind him, grew faint at the delay. He leaned against the line of officers that separated the prisoners from the mob of spectators. Suddenly a gap opened behind the man. Almost unconsciously he slipped through, and the line closed once more. A bystander reached over and placed a hat on the man's bare head, and the people crowded about as if to hide him. A short time thereafter a man with his hands behind him was seen in the Champs Elysees, walking with the air of one out for a quiet stroll. This man was said to have spent the next night in a ditch and to have made his way to Russia subsequently. If this person, saved by a fortunate accident or by collusion, was Leonard the story explains the mystery of the two death certificates.—Washington Star. Roasting Coffee. A good chunk of money can be saved in a year by roasting your own coffee, and it is not so hard at that. All that is needed is a good big heavy skillet. Before roasting a pound of green coffee put in a chunk of butter the size of an almond mixed with a teaspoonful of sugar. Roast on the stove or flame, steadily shaking and stirring in the old fashioned double shuffle way until all is a uniform rich brown. Shake fast when coffee "pops" or smokes. Please don't burn. The butter and sugar surely help the flavor, aroma and bouquet of the delicious drink. But the butter must be good and not too much used at one time. The smaller the quantity to do the job right the better—New York Press. Colors In Coral Genuine coral may be red, pink, white, blue, yellow, green or black, the last being the rarest and most highly prized. The next valuable is the red coral, which is susceptible of high polish and is most in use for jewelry, being the coral of commerce. Corals are roughly classed under two heads, the horny corals and the time lime or stone corals. To the former belong the red and black forms and the white to the latter. Red coral is chiefly found in the Mediterranean. The corals found on the Atlantic coast of Florida are the lime or stone corals, which are the reef building forms. Bearded Freak One of the earliest of the American bearded freaks was Louis Jasper, who lived in southern Virginia at about the time of the close of the Revolutionary war. His beard was nine and a half feet long and correspondingly thick and heavy. He could take his mustache between his fingers and extend his arms to their full length and still the ends of the mustache were over a foot beyond his finger tips.—Exchange. Deceitful Man. "Didn't you think that was a beautiful girl with me today, Arthur?" "What girl, my dearest?" "Why, she was with me when you met us in front of the church." "Was there a girl there, dear?

THE COTERIE CLUB "The Coterie," one of the best-known and most popular pleasure whist clubs of the city, gaye its usual annual private picnic and outing Tuesday, July 4th, in Anacostia, D. C., on the beautiful estate, formerly owned by the late Solomon G. Brown, who was well-known by a large number of Washingtonians. It will be remembered by many that the Solomon G. Brown was one of Anacostia's greatest historians and a poet of unusual ability; his home was often styled as the great knowledge site of the hills of Anacostia; the estate is now owned by Mr. and Mrs. Levi G. Brown, they have made many improvements since it came in to their possession, and judging from the surroundings they can well afford to pleasantly wink at the high cost of living. It has for some time been the custom of the "Coterie" pleasure club to participate in an outing of some kind once a year to which the members are entitled to a certain number of invited guests. There was a large as well as representative party in attendance that met at Nichols avenue and Morris road and conveyed to the grounds with their large and elaborate baskets with all the delicacies of the season by conveyances provided by Mr. Brown, the present owner of this rare estate. The party spent the day enjoying various games, and in general frolics usually participated in on such occasions, some fears were entertained for some of the masculine members of the party, who at the blowing of the dinner horn so largely participated in the reenast that some doubts were entertained as to whether their digestive organs would be able to do their full duty. The party returned to the city during the evening, well and tired, but each bearing testimony, one with another, that they never enjoyed a better time. Mrs. Jeannette D. Baltimore of 1435 S. St. N. W., is the congenial and popular president of the Club. Those present were: Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Williams, Mrs. O. A. Williams, Mrs. Henry Lewis and daughter. Dr. and Mrs. P. W.

The First Baptist Church Congregation on Friday evening, June 30, called the Rev. Jas. Penn to the pastorate of the church. It is not as yet known whether the call will be accepted. Rev. Charles Conner occupied the pulpit on Sunday during the day and administered Holy Communion. The Hymnal Committee of the Mt. Zion M. E. Church has presented to the trustees of the church a supply of church hymnals which is much appreciated by the Congregation. The Columbia Aid Association failed to have its annual sermon on Sunday last at Mt. Zion M. E. church, as announced on the account of misunderstanding of the committee of arrangements. Another date is being arranged for the future meeting: The Sunday schools of this section are arranging for their usual annual outing. Announcements will appear in the next issue. Miss Margaret Smith, accompanied by her mother, Mrs. Martha Hall, is spending her vacation in New York City for several weeks. A goodly number of excursionists left the city on Saturday last for New York City and enjoyed the hospitalities of the friends of the big city and at the residence of Mrs. Julia E. Holloway and Florence Frazer, 45 West 131st street. A pleasant time was had. A solo by Mrs. Washington of New York and a selection by Mr. Jas. L. Turner, accompanied by Mrs. Holloway, was greatly applauded by the many present. Join the Royal Knights of King David.

Plans have been about completed at the home office of the Royal Knights of King David, Durham, N. C., to launch a campaign for the establishment of its business in the District of Columbia. The company is an unusual one in its history, development and in its manner of doing business. Founded in 1883 and conducted in an indifferent manner for several years, it was not until its reorganization under the leadership of Prof. W. G. Pearson, Durham, N. C., that it began to take on the proportions of a life-sized, healthy corporation. Under the wise administration and control of its present head it has grown by leaps and bounds, until, at the present time, its resources stand at $24,000 and it has on deposit with the proper state authorities in the states in which it operates $10,000 to protect its members In North and South Carolina, where company after company has fallen in the face of increasingly stringent legal restrictions and growing competition, it has continued to develop and thrive, never failing to meet an obligation to a member, and more firmly planting itself in the esteem and confidence of the people whom it seeks to serve. At present it is operating in six states and has met with all the legal requirements of each one.

Another factor in the phenomenal growth of the organization is in the fact that it combines all the advantages of a secret society with those of safe, cheap and sound insurance. Insurance companies devote themselves exclusively to the insurance business, and their interest in the policy holder or member ceases when the premium is collected and benefits paid. This is the limit of their operations. The Royal Knights of King David, on the other hand, has succeeded in retaining the good fellowship and co-operative features of the secret society, and in adding thereto reliable life and health insurance, and this at a much lower cost than that of simple insurance. Several lodges are to be set up in Washington and it is expected that before the summer has passed, a large membership will have been established throughout the District of Columbia. Any individual who may be interested in becoming a member or in organizing a lodge is invited to correspond with W. G. PEARSON, S. G. S., Durham, N. C. SECRETS OF SPACE What Might Be Revealed if Nature Lifted the Veil. WONDERS OF THE INVISIBLE Evidence That What We Call the Universe Is Only a Part of a Far Grander and Perhaps Infinite System of Suns and Worlds and Planets. Men of science have found reasons for believing that there may be, far off in infinite space, other material systems besides the one visible to us. We seem to be able with modern telescopes to reach the boundaries on furthest limits of the stellar system to which our sun belongs. It is found that with increase of distance the relative number of stars decreases until, in most directions at least, a point is reached beyond which virtually no more stars can be seen. Then, too, it has been found that the stellar system has a fairly definite shape—a fact which, in itself implies boundaries. The shape is that of a vast spiral, with curving arms surrounding a central agglomeration. If you will imagine floating in the middle of the room where you sit a roughly globular swarm of bright particles, distributed with a fair degree of uniformity as to distance from one another, and then outside of the swarm surrounding it, but separated from it by a space which is nearly but not quite empty, an irregular spiral-ring of similar shining particles, you will have before you a picture of one of the latest astronomical conceptions of the form of the visible universe. The central swarm will represent the assemblage of stars of which our sun is a modest member, while the enveloping spiral will represent the immense system of the Milky way, whose stars are vastly more numerous than those composing the globular swarm. The stars of the Milky way are the most distant members of the entire system, which appears to be shut in all around by black space. Viewed from afar of in the eon depths of that space, this universe of ours would resemble a phosphorescent jellyfish, with finely sparkling tentacles, afloat in the sea of immensity. This being so, the question naturally arises. May there not be, or must there not be, an infinite number of other such systems, scattered through the limitless expense of space? That question would forever remain a matter of pure conjecture if we did not have certain very suggestive facts which seem to indicate that it ought to be answered in the affirmative. The facts of which I speak are objects of visual observation. But that does not necessarily make them parts of the "visible universe," because they appear to be unconnected with it and to lie beyond its boundaries. These objects are known as spiral nebulae. The photographs that have been made of them in the past few years are shapely amazing. The forms of many are surprisingly like that which has been described above as characterizing the stellar system. They have central agglomerations with enveloping spirals. They have knots of light which recall the globular clusters of stars found in the visible universe, but they are so distant that no separate stars can be detected in them. They look like masses of more or less condensed glowing gas; but the spectroscope shows that the light coming from them is not that which is characteristic of gaseous nebulae, but that which belongs to true stars. The influence is that these wonderful objects may actually be other universes lying out in the ocean of space beyond our shores. This inference is strengthened by what we know of the distance of some of these objects. The utmost diameter of the great spiral of the Milky way probably does not exceed from 4,000 to 6,000 "parseses," or from 800 to 1,200 million times the earth's distance from the sun. A parasee, which corresponds to a parallax of one second of arc, equals about 19,000,000,000,000 (nineteen trillion) milia. But some of the spiral nebulae appear to be at least 10,000 parseses distant. If that is so there exists between them and the outer frontiers of the visible universe a gap far broader than the entire diameter of that universe. It can hardly be supposed, then, that they are outlying parts of or attendants upon our universe, but it is much more reasonable to conclude that they are other universes constructed on a similar plan, but so far away that as viewed with our utmost visual powers, our mightiest telescopes, they are but gleaming specks! Perhaps the nearest of these strange objects is the Andromeda nebula, which, in a small telescope, looks like a faint dotted shape wisp—Garrett P. Serviss in New York Journal.

C., Witness a Brilliant Wedding—A Washington Girl Mald of Honor—Beautiful Gowns, Greensboro, N. C., July 4. An event of unusual social interest, marked by beauty and simplicity was solemnized Wednesday evening at 8:30 o'clock the 28th ult., in St. Matthews M. E. Church; when Miss Rosalyd B. Pitts was given in marriage to Mr. Harvey G. Barres, of Wilson, N. C. The youthful bride was never more charming than on this occasion. Her bridal gown was a simple but elegant creation of white fabric and satin and neat rimmings. Her long tulle veil wore in a coronet, and hold with a wreath of orange blossoms, while she carried a shower bouquet of white roses. Miss Mae Francis, of Washington City, was maid of honor. She wore a dress of pink taffeta and chiffon, carrying an armful of pink roses. Attending Mr. Barnes as best man was Mr. C. L. Darden of Wilson. The bridesmaids were charmingly winsome in their pink silk dresses, carrying in their arms bouquets of pink roses. The maids were Miss Mary Banks and Willie Nichols, of Greensboro. The ring bearer was little Harriet Peeler, the flower girl little Claudia Clark. The groomsmen were Professor Gurney Nelson, of Greensboro, and Mr. W. H. Jones, of Wilson. The bride was given in marriage by her sister, Mrs. Cornelia E. Craig, who wore a gown of gray silk net, trimed with black velvet, wearing pink roses. The officiating minister was Rev. R. T. Weatherby, Pastor of the church, Mrs. S. A. Peeler presided at the organ. Before the wedding ceremony began there were three musical selection rendered: First, a solo by Dr. J. C. Waddy, second, a selection by the choir composed of a few of the other church choirs of the city, and third, a solo entitled "At the Dawning," which was sung with pleasing effect by Mrs. W. B. Windsor. While the officiating minister and bridal party were taking their places before the altar, they moved slowly and gracefully to the beautiful strains of the "Wedding March" from Lohengrin, which swelled forth in the beautiful ring ceremony of the Methodist Episcopal Church had been performed in uniting the happy pair, the bridal party and a host of friends who were present to witness the ceremony, retired from the church to the beautiful strains of Mendelssohn. The church altar was tastefully and beautifully decorated. Mrs. R. T. Weatherby, the wife of the officiating minister, had this part of the program. After the "wedding an elegant reception, followed at the Piedmont Hotel of which the sister of the bride, Mrs. Craig, is proprietress, Misses Elsie Morris and Mabel Lax presided at the punch bowl. The presents were not only numerous, but beautiful and valuable, thereby attesting the popularity of the couple Mr. and Mrs. Barnes left on the midnight train for the North. Their honeymoon will include a trip to Washington City, Cleveland and New York. They will be gone about ten days, after which they will be at home in Wilson, N. C. The bride is attractive and quite popular. She is a graduate of Hawthorne Seminary, Richmond, Va. Since graduation she has taught school three years in Guilford County, and last year in the graded school at Wilson. The groom is a successful bus'ness man of Wilson. His main business is that of signer of artistic designs. J. H.

Opens Subscription to $10,000 Anti-Lynching Fund. Two Thousand Already Pledged. Fifty thousand copies of the story of "The Waco Horror" have just been distributed by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People through its official organ, the Crisis, and as a result a campaign for an anti-lynching fund of ten thousand dollars has been launched. Immediately upon hearing the details of this American atrocity, which for barbarity surpasses anything charged against the Germans in Belgium, Judge Moeffler Storey, National President of the Association, and formerly President of the American Bar Association, and Mr. Philip G. Peabody, both of Boston, each offered to contribute $1,000 towards such a fund on condition that the remaining $5,000 be raised by August 1. The N. A. A. C. P. sent a special investigator from National headquarters at 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, who commenced gathering evidence in Waco, Texas, where the burning occurred, within forty-eight hours after the lynching, Inasmuch as fifteen thousand people had sanctioned the affair by their presence and dozens of pictures were taken, there was no difficulty in ascertaining the names and addresses of the ring-leaders and the failure of both the judge and sheriff to make the slightest effort to protect their prisoner. The association is bending every effort to secure a distinguished Texas lawyer with courage enough to bring the case against these murderers into court. Politics, the investigator found, was at the bottom of the affair. Sam Fleming, the sheriff, is up for reelection at the Democratic primary in July. His opponent, Buchanan, though illiterate, has "three cedad niggers" to his credit," and is therefore very popular. Unless he is to go back to selling buggies and cultivators for the hardware store, Sam needed a lynching to increase his popularity. The murder of Mrs. Fryer on Monday, May 8, came just at the right time. Jesse Washington, a colored boy of seventeen, confessed to both murder rape. His trial was set for Monday, May 9. The crowd began withering from the surrounding country on Sunday. When court opened, 1500 crowded into the room, inside the rail, about the judge's desk and jury box, and 2000 more waited in the court-yard. The District Judge of the Criminal Court, R. I. Munroe, elbowed his way to his deck, and the boy was brought from his chambers where he had been secreted since the sheriff brought him from Dallas in the middle of the night. As the jurors were called, the crowd yelled, "we don't need any jury!" but the trial was allowed to be hurried through. The jury brought in a verdict of guilty of murder and assessed his punishment as death. The defendant had waived his legal rights, and would have been hanged that same afternoon. There was a pause of a full minute. The court stenographer slipped out with his records. Sheriff Fleming sneaked out, too. Then a big fellow in the back of the court room yelled, "Get the nigger!" They took him before the court had pronounced judgment without the judge lifting a finger in protest. Down the back stairs they rushed him to the crowd waiting outside. They put the chain in his mouth so that he wouldn't choke too soon, and when those lugging at it broke it, the driver of the Anheuser brewery truck who led the rabble, wound it around his own wrist rather than take chances that the boy should die too soon. Many had come a long way to attend this party and they didn't want it to end in a minute. Everybody was happy; they shouted and sang like a bunch of fans at a ball game, according to a Waco paper.

The Waco Times Herald published the same afternoon said, "On the way to the scene of the burning people on every hand took a hand in showing their feelings in the matter by striking the negro with anything obtainable; some struck him with shovels, bricks, clubs, and others stabbed him and cut him until when he was strung up his body was a solid color of red, the blood of the many wounds inflicted covered him from head to foot." They took Washington to a tree on the City Hall Lawn just outside the window of His Honor, the Mayor, which he generously shared with Mr. Gildersleeve, the photographer to whom we are indebted for our cuts. A chain was thrown over the limb of this tree, and while the fire was being lit, this bloody thing was hoisted into the air where everyone would have a full view.

"Fingers, ears, pieces of clothing, toes, and other parts of the negro's body were cut off by member of the mob that had crowded to the scene as if by magic when the word that the negro had been taken in charge by the mob was heralded over the city. "As the smoke rose to the heavens, the mass of the people, numbering in the neighborhood of 10,000, crowding the City Hall lawn and overflowing the square, hanging, from the windows of buildings, viewing the scene from the tops of buildings and trees, set up a shout that was heard blocks away. Onlookers were hanging from the windows of the City Hall and every other building that commanded a sight of the burning, and as the negro's body commenced to burn, shouts of delight went up from the thousands of throats, and apparently everybody demonstrated in some way their satisfaction. The body of young Washington was burned to a crisp and was left for some time smouldering in the remains of the fire. "Women and children who desired to view the scene were allowed to do so, the crowds parting to let them look on," says the newspaper account. One father, when questioned about the propriety of holding his little son on his shoulder where he could get a good view, is reported saying: "My son can't learn too young the proper way to treat a nigger."

A cowboy who had ridden in off the range created a diversion by lassosing the corpse and riding all over town with the remains dangling at the end of his lariat. When the head bounced off as he galloped through the "reservation," the ghetto where the negroes and the prostitute are segregated, some little boys set it up on one of the doorsteps and extracted the loose teeth, which are reported to have brought as high as five dollars apiece from those who could afford such rare and permanent souvenirs.

HER HUSBAND'S OFFICE A Story For Wives Who Just Drop In During Business Hours. "Will you please," asks a secret sufferer, "write something about wives who make unexpected calls at their husbands' offices? I am not guilty of anything, but I think that even the most innocent of men suffers acutely when his wife visits him at his office. There is no way for me to make my wife understand this unless I appear booish and brutal. Can't you say something about it? Many wives read your column." Yes, friend, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. We will put it in the form of general propositions, hoping thereby to step on no individual toes. We hold these facts to be proved: That no husband ever wants this wife to call on him at his office during business hours, except upon his invitation. That no wife can know how she unsets his routine, disorders the mental processes that go on during those hours and subjects herself to the gossip of his office mates. That there is no easy way to make a wife see this. We proceed from these truisms to a few observations. A lovely creature breezes. into her husband's office just because she happens to be passing. She says: "Now, don't let me disturb you a minute—I know you are busy. Dearie, what good does that desk light do you at that angle? Don't you know you will ruin your eyes? What a mess your desk is! Look at Mr. Officemate's—how neat it is! Well, just let me stick this little package in your lower drawer and you bring it home with you when you come. "Well, I must run along, for you're busy. Come out to the elevator with me, dear; I wont to speak to you. Who is that disreputable looking man who is waiting in the outer office to see you? Why, it's a perfect disgrace to have such callers! "You have an appointment with him? How can you make an appointment with such a creature? Well, goodbye, dear. Get your shoes shined before you come home—you look awfully sloppy." And if husband protests against that call her eyes fill with innocent tears and she says: "Why, I wasn't there five minutes, and you weren't working at anything when I came in! And men call on you and stay half an hour! Of course I'll never come again. Are you ashamed of your wife?" The Bethlehem Music Festival. The Bach festival at Bethlehem is one of the most interesting events in musical production in this country. "Musically Bethlehem, Pa., is the most remarkable town or settlement in the United States." In 1780 Bethlehem had an orchestra, probably the first in the United States. In 1901 the Bethlehem music festival was marked by the first performance in America of Bach's complete Christmas oratorio. Bethlehem has been called "the American Oberammergau" and "the American Baleuth." The music festival is held each year—New York Times. Where Women Tell Their Ages.

St. Paul's Letter to the Young Church The Power of the Gospel Amongst Them—Their Activities In Spreading the Truth—A Highly-Figurative Description of Jesus' Second Coming and the Resurrection of the Church. "If we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so then also that are fallen asleep, in Jesus will God bring with Him."—1 Thessalonians 4:19. ERY evidently the persecution which had come upon the Church at Thessalonica had caused them to grow raptly, as evidenced by their love, not only for one another, but for all of the Household of Faith throughout Achala and Macedonia. This love of the brethren, St. Paul declares, was a manifestation of the fact that they had been taught of God. Under St. Paul's instruction, supplemented by Timothy's, the young Thessalonian Church had in a very short time, attained considerable knowledge of the Divine Plan—much more than is enjoyed by a majority of Christian congregations today. For instance, they knew what very many today are ignorant of—that their hope, centered in the Second Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and in their being gathered to Him then; and that their friends who had died were "asleep in Jesus," to be awakened from that death sleep by our Lord at His Second Coming—John 2:29. Respecting Unscriptural Thoughts: The fact that the dead are asleep and cannot be awakened until the Second Advent has been lost sight of for several centuries. Consequently faith in the Lord's Second Coming has generally languished. In fact, many professed Christian people do not believe the Bible teaching that the dead sleep, but hold that they are more alive than ever—that at the moment of death they go to Heaven in the Lord's Second Coming has generally languished. In fact, many professed Christian people do not believe the Bible teaching that the dead sleep, but hold that they are more alive than ever—that at the moment of death they go to Heaven or to Hell, and that their condition is permanent. With such unscriptural thoughts before their minds, who can wonder that to such the Lord's Second Coming is an event without special interest, lightly regarded by some and wholly rejected by others? Those who have been instructed by God's Word and who do not follow "cunningly devised fables" originated by the Adversary, find that the Scriptures as a whole are illuminated with the grand hope of the coming of Messiah in power and glory, to establish His Kingdom of Righteousness and to awaken and uplift those who have fallen under the hand of Death—as many as will accept His blessing, under the terms of the New Covenant: Gen. 3:4, 5; Ezek. 18:4, 20; John 8:44. "In Jesus" Vs. "In Christ." As originally pronounced, the penalty against our race was not a sleep of death, but destruction. But God, purposed a redemption from the death curse; and for this purpose Jesus came into the world and died, "the Just for the unjust," that He might bring us back into Divine favor. Consequently it has been proper to regard the world not as wholly cut off from life, but as merely the sleeping—awaiting the return of the Redeemer as the Awakener, the Life-giver. In this sense the world may be said to "sleep in Jesus." But let us not confound this with the very different expression, "the dead in Christ," which applies only to the Church. In today's Study the Apostle delivers a special message to the Church, instructing them that at our Lord's Second Coming the sleeping saints will suffer no loss by reason of having fallen asleep, but that they will be granted a priority over the living saints, in that they will be raised from the dead and glorified before the living saints are "changed." In this connection we notice that the word translated "coming" in Verse 15 really signifies presence—after arrival—giving the thought that the Lord will be pres- be raised from the dead and glorified before the living saints, are "changed." In this connection we notice that the word translated "coming" in Verse 15 really signifies presence-after arrival-giving the thought that—the Lord will be present before the dead in Christ are raised, and prior to the change of the living saints. This thought emphasizes the Apostle's subsequent remarks respecting the Day of the Lord, and that the world would not know of it. Many careful Bible students hold that the "shout," "the voice of the Archangel" and "the trump of God" are all symbols, referring to events now in process of fulfillment. In this connection we quote from "Studies In the Scriptures," Vol. 2, p. 149: "Note carefully, too, the fact that each of the three prophecies just referred to (Daniel 12:1; Revelation 11:1; 1 Thessalonians 4:16) declares the Lord's presence at the time when the events mentioned transpire. * * * If, therefore, we can recognize the shout, the voices and the sounding of the great trumpet, we should accept them as indications, not that the Lord will come soon, but rather that He has come and is now present; and that the Harvest work of gathering the wheat and burning the tares is already under way. This we shall see soon is abundantly proved by time-prophecies." TRAINING FOR THE ROYAL PRIESTHOOL King-Priests, or Priestly Kings, Now Being Prepared.

His text was, "But you are a chosen generation, a Royal Priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people, that ye should show forth the praises PASTOR RUSSELL New York City, June 4. — Pastor Russell spoke at The Temple, W 63rd St., near Broadway. His text was, "But yo are a chosen generation, a Royal Priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people, that ye should show forth the praises of Him who hath called you out of darkness into His marvelous light"—1 Peter 2.9. The discourse brought to view several marked correspondences between the Jewish Church—"Israel after the flesh"—and the Christian Church—"The Israel of God." Some of these correspondencies open up a fruitful field of thought for every Bible student. The Pastor first briefly reviewed the history of Natural Israel. God called them to be His chosen people, His holy nation. (Exodus 19:5, 6). For over eighteen hundred years they were in training under the Law, to demonstrate whether they were worthy to be God's people. God foreknew, however, that even with their best endeavors they could not keep the Law and thus gain the prize of everlasting life; for no imperfect being could keep a perfect Law. But He had arranged for the redemption of Israel and all the world through Jesus' death, and knew that the Law would be their schoolmaster to lead the Jews in due time to Christ. Galatians 3:24. Natural Israel hoped that God would make of them a great people to rule the world as God's Kingdom. They were Abraham's seed, and considered it a foregone conclusion that the Lord's Promise to Abraham (Genesis 12:3) could mean no others but themselves. They overlooked the fact that the true Seed would have the faith, the heart obedience of Abraham—qualities which they as a nation lacked. When the long-expected Messiah came, they rejected, and slew Him. Only a few, the "Israelites indeed," of humble, teachable heart, received Him. God foreknew the national rejection of His Son, and had pre-arranged that when the faithful few had been gathered from Israel the call for the Seed class should go to the Gentiles. In Jehovah's Plan this Abrahamic Seed which would bless the world was to be composed of 144,000—12,000 from each of the twelve tribes of Israel. Hence when the 20,000 or more Israelites who were worthy were brought into the Christian Church, the Gospel Message was sent to the Gentiles to take out a sufficient number to fill up what was lacking from each tribe of Israel. The Gentiles thus chosen became members of Spiritual Israel—the Church of Christ. All these have had the faith of Abraham: Spiritual Israel-A New Nation. Natural Israel having been rejected as regarded the Gospel Call, a new nation began to be formed, composed of the faithful few from both Jews and Gentiles. God had opened up a new way of life, through Christ. (Hebrews 10:19-22.) The calling and preparing of this New Nation for their great future work has been the work of the Gospel Age. The way opened to the Gospel Church has not been a failure, as was that opened for Natural Israel. The Gospel Church is not under law but under grace. God's provision in Christ enables those to succeed who are walking in the new way to life. They keep God's Law in spirit, and the robe of Christ's merit covers all their unavoidable blemishes, imperfections. This chosen class St. Peter calls "a Royal Priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people." The office of a king is to rule; that of a priest is to teach, to heal and to bless. These two offices will be united in the work which this class will perform when exalted in the Messianic Kingdom. They have become separate from all other peoples. They "are strangers and pilgrims on the earth." They will constitute, with their Head, Christ Jesus, the New Government to be set up in the earth upon the ruins of the present order. Not as human beings, but as spirit beings, will this class reign, teach and bless the world, after their glorification in the First Resurrection. The character tests applied to this company of prospective rulers are very rigid. They must first learn to govern themselves before they would be fit to govern others. They are placed in the School of Christ to be taught of Him—lessons of meekness, self-control, patience, faith, gentleness, sympathy, love—qualities without which they could not properly deal with the sinful, fallen world. Each of them has entered into an especial covenant with Jehovah—a covenant by sacrifice, as did their Master. This covenant requires a full surrender of their will to God, a consecration to Him of their lives and all that they possess, and faithfulness in carrying out its terms.

The paradox of time, reckoned as we have come into the habit of reckoning it, by which a cablegram that leaves England at noon is received instantly in India at 5:30 p. m. and in New York at 7 a. m., has long since been discarded by astronomers and mariners. To these the time is always Greenwich time, and it is on Greenwich time that the wireless signals of all the world are baged since the international time conference which met in Paris in 1912 declared that "the universal time shall be that of Greenwich." The Scientific American analyzes the paradox and prophesies that the day will come when all the world will have but one standard time. We should then abandon our time zones, with their strangely irregular boundary based upon the exigencies of railroad systems and political frontiers and the "curious fiction of the international date line could be given up." "If would at first seem strange to the New Yorker to begin work at 4 a. m. instead of 9 a. m. and dine at 2 p. m. instead of 7 p. m.," says the Scientific American, "but as these changes would be merely nominal and involve no dislocation of his habits with respect to daylight and darkness he would soon become accustomed to them." As things are now we are so familiar with such contradictions as receiving a telegram four or five hours earlier than it was sent and finding it 7 o'clock on one side of a street when it is 8 o'clock on the other that th not strike us as strange. Yet now is always and everywhere now, no matter, what we may call it. When it is now in New York it is now in Calcutta and in London. "Call it what you like, the time remains identical." We have inherited our ideas of time from ancestors whose only clock was the sun and who divided the day into twelve hours between sunrise and sunset. In summer these were very long hours and in winter very short. How perplexed a Greek or Roman horologist would have been near one of the poles where his "hours" would have been as long as many modern days! With clocks numbered from 1 to 24 we could abolish "a. m" and "p. m." as several countries have already done. "Noon" at any place would be when the sun was at the meridian, and it would not matter in the least what clock time coincided with it. Today in the United States the only places at which noon and 12 o'clock exactly coincide are those precisely on the meridian. For example, when it is "noon" in Florida it is 1 p. m. just across the border in Georgia and when it is "noon" in Georgia it is only 11 a. m. in Florida. Similar conditions exist in many places. Garlic In the Milk. As to milk diluted by the light diet of the cow, what is this compared with the garlic to which any one at breakfast in Italy in spring is subject without warning? The mere tourist is no doubt guarded by a taster in the hotel keeper's service, but the resident may any morning find his milk or his butter or both made impossible by a flavor more rank than any onion. The Italian cow evidently loves the garlic plant and inconsiderately feasts upon it, with consequences overpowering to the senses of man.—London Mirror. Von Der Goltz a Novelist. A good deal of the late Field Marshal von der Goltz's reputation rested upon his military text books, and it is interesting to recall that he first won literary fame by writings of a very different character. When a poor cad at Grosslichterfelde with a widowed mother to support he turned his hand to novel writing and gained a considerable reputation by a series of sentimental romances—London Chronicle.

ITS SLUMP IN POPULATION One of the Few Sections of the Civilized World That Have Decreased in Numbers in the Past Century—it's Beautiful Lakes and Rivers. The historical and political importance of Ireland has created in the minds of many Americans an exaggerated idea of the island's 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, taken 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 withdrawal 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 Spanish 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 is now North Carolina and planted them on his estate near Cork in 1585. Ireland lies on the western rim of what was once a part of continental Europe. It has numerous mountains the highest being the McGillieuddy 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 distinguishing 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 loughs, of Ireland are among its most widely appreciated physical characteristics, their scenic beauty being the inspiration of poets, painters and musicians. Nor have the Irish rivers been overlooked in praisals 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 considerable iron ore, mining is not an important industry. Gold was being mined in a modest way in County Wicklow at the time of the rebellion of 1708, but the works were destroyed and the source of the metal has never been discovered. Agriculture and stock raising are the chief occupations of the inhabitants. At one time the woolen manufacture of the island were formidable rivals. English factories, but hostile legislation gave the industry a check from which it has never recovered. As the Irish have raised flax for centuries the manufacture of linen early became one of the important industries of the country. Irish whisky is an important article of export, and one of the largest 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 const fisheries afford a livelhood 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. At Torr Head on the north the distance to Scotland (Mull of Cantire) is only thirteen and one-half miles. The Giant's Causeway, a short distance to the east of this point, is the outcropping basaltic formation which in former age joined the two islands.-National Geographic Society Bulletin.

And Now the Poor Fowl Shows a Distinct Aversion to Water. A gander was so upset by experiments made upon and through him by a mischievous boy that for a long time he would not go into the water. The gander's determination to abstain from water as a means of bathing grew out of the following circumstances: The boy thought he would tie a fishing line to the gander's leg and with a hook properly balted turn the bird out into the water. The bait was a frog. The gander went into the mill pond, where he swam around for half an hour, turning "flipfaps" and diving for food. Suddenly he felt a pull at his leg and looked as surprised as the "lone fisherman" when he caught a whale. The gander thought there was something the matter, and he looked to ascertain the cause. The pickerel on the hook gave several jerks, whereupon the gander decided he wanted to go home. He at once started for the shore, but the pickerel on the hook wanted to go the other way. The gander seemed frightened at first. Then he evidenced signs of anger and tried to fly to shore, but the pickerel pulled him back. After half an hour of the hardest work he had ever done the gander came ashore, dragging a six pound pickerel up the bank. The boy took off the pickel and baited the book with another frog. He tried to induce the gander to go in for another swimmer, but no amount of persuasion, could get the bird to do so. He simply would not be driven in. For many weeks the gator would not go into the water. He would proceed with the rest of the book to the water's edge, but there he would stop. He would seem to be arguing with them with reference to the danger they were courting.—Los Angeles Times. SHOOTING WITH A RIFLE: The Proper Way to Aim if One Aspires to Good Marksmanship. Walter Winans, the famous American sharpshooter, who lives in England, writes to the Scientific American the following directions as to the proper way to aim a rifle: "The way to shoot is, first, put a big ivory front sight in place of the black one used for target shooting. "Most real objects one shoots at are more or less dark, and the black front sight is difficult to see on the object; the white one shows up at once. "Next, have your hind sight put on the rifle at the distance from your eye that you can read print best. "When shooting do not try to focus a black bullseye, a black front sight and a black hind sight and a half dozen other things alternately while you hold on to your rifle like grim death." "Look at the object you want to hit. If it is moving judge how much allowance in front you must make, bring up your rifle to your shoulder, swinging it with the movement of the object you want to hit, and press the trigger as the butt touches your shoulder. "The bullet will go where you want it to without your noticing the sights at all. "If you want to be a good rifle shot at game, or as a soldier, join the nearest clay pigeon shooting club, and when you can break 90 per cent of the clays you can rest perfectly confident that you can hit a man every shot you fire if being charged by an enemy if you have a rifle in your hands instead of a shotgun. "If you practice in a 'coat hole' ride gallery at a stationary black bullsye with a black front sight and see 'three front sights' and a 'blurred back sight' you are not learning to shoot, but merely ruining your eyesight." Cornish Pies. There are several dishes peculiar to Cornwall, and a pasty is one. It resembles an apple turnover, but is composed of meat, potato and seasoning, finely chopped. Almost every kind of food is put into a Cornish pie, Squab pie is a great favorite. Herby pie is another peculiar dish, composed of nettles, pepper cress, parsley, mustard and spinach, together with thin slices of pork. Pies are also made with leeks and pichards, goose feet, glazard and blood, raisins, sugar and apples and mackerel, parsley and cream—London Standard. Hér Proof.
