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. 8 WASHINGTON, D.C., SATURDAY JULY 22, 1916 JERSEY SENATOR- IAL CANDIDATE Sound on Rights of the Negro—Joseph S. Frelinghuysen Says: Every Man Should Have Every Right Guaranteed to Him In and by Virtue of the U. S. Constitution. (Special to The Bee.) Newark, N. J., July 20th, 1916. The action of the democratic party for the past four years, and particular the program that has been enacted at Washington, where the rankest policy of discrimination and segregation has been the order for the entire term the Wilson administration, has certainly given the negro citizens of New Jersey every reason for bending every effort to send the strongest possible man from this state to the United States Senate. There are three or four possible candidates but to date the only open candidates are ex-Governor Franklin P. Murphy and State Senator Joseph S. Frelinghuysen. HON. JOHN S. FRELINGHUYSEN, Republican, primary candidate for United States Senator from the state of New Jersey. A true friend of the people, regardless of religious or political creed. Murphy is getting old, or rather is old and is not making much headway; while on the other hand Senator Frelinghuysen, who comes from Somerville in Somerset county, has made so much headway that it is barely possible that he will run without any opposition. Without standing for any special privileges for the negro, as such, his record as a friend of the colored citizens of the state and especially as a patron on the Bordertown Institute for 'Colored Youths at Bordertown N. J., has endeared him to the hearts of all negro citizens who appreciate a man who stands for a square deal for all men, regardless of race, color or creed. Recently Senator Frelinghuysen was requested to make his position clear as to his attitude on the negro question. His reply addressed to The Federation of Colored Organizations of New Jersey follows: "June 20th, 1916. "Somerville, N. J." "Federation of Colored Organizations of New Jersey, Newark, N. J." "Sirs: In reply to your kind favor under date of June 6th, 1916, I beg to state that answering the nine questions submitted to me by you, I think I can best place myself before your organization in one general proposition as follows: "I see no reason why any distinction should be drawn between, not only members of your race but any other, classes of American citizens. Should I be elected to the United States Senate from New Jersey it would be as a republican. When in power the republican party never has subjected colored governmental employees to such indignities as you refer to in your first question, and I feel certain that with the return of the republican party in power discrimination against any people because of race or color will cease. "I shall take the trouble to answer specifically the third question submitted by you, and that is that I think there is not so much need of a commission to investigate lynching, but rather that the law as it now stands upon the statute books of the United States should be strictly enforced by all persons being apprehended and punished in accordance with law. "I fully appreciate the fact that there are 100,000 colored citizens in the state of New Jersey of which about 40,000 exercise the right of franchise. They have my sympathy in every proper movement for their advancement. They have a right to vote and to be voted for. "I cannot see why there should be any distinction to election of offices of trust and emolument if their fellow citizens have confidence in them to the extent of electing them to office of responsibility and trust. or responsibility. "As to my views on franchisement, I believe every man should have every right guaranteed to him in and by virtue of the Constitution of the United States. States. "I fully appreciate the effort made in the last session of the Legislature against motion pictures or theatricals which are for no other purpose than instigating race hatred. I agree with J. B. JOSHUA M. ANDERSON, Treasurer. you, that no race gains by the advocating of such race prejudice, and like you, it cannot materially hurt your race very long. I do not believe anything should be permitted that tends to create race hatred. "My attitude towards Bordertown Institute can best be ascertained by looking to my record since in public life and especially during the fight I made for the Bordertown Institute when threatened by hostile legislation: "As for the Civil Rights Bill, I feel that there is not so much necessity for additional laws to remedy any evils which might exist as there is for the strict enforcement of the laws now on the statute books. "You will believe me when I say. I believe in an absolute square deal for all citizens irrespective of race, creed or color. I shall draw no lines as United States Senator from the great state of New Jersey, but will in every possible way be the representative of all the people, helping the weak as well as the strong. "The relation existing between the white and colored citizens of New Jersey are friendly. Let us keep them so. Your race has made wonderful progress. You have splendid representatives in law and medicine. You have some of the best homes in the state. You are taking advantage of the excellent educational facilities and you are loyal citizens. I pledge you my cooperation in all honorable undertakings. My public record, I feel, is sufficient guarantee. "Yours respectfully, "JOSEPH S. F. FRELINGHUYSEN." The following are the questions submitted to Senator Frelinghuysen by the Federation of Colored Organizations of New Jersey that his attitude might be ascertained on the Negro question. LIGHTFOOT. (1) Under the present Democratic administration restrictions are placed upon Negroes employed in certain departments of the Federal Government at Washington. It is alleged that these are prohibited from using the toilets, washrooms, etc., used by their fellow workers, and that in certain instances separate rooms are provided in which colored employees are segregated in the performance of their duties. Federal employees of both races have worked together for years without harm to either race and the above restrictions were effected by the present administration without adequate cause. Such restrictions are at variance with the American spirit and are the results of an unjust prejudice. Could you favor the removal of these restrictions and the adoption of unit form facilities for all Federal employees? (2) Under the present administration almost every Negro holding an appointive office under the Federal Government was removed. Fitness and ability did not enter into their DELEGATES TO THE ELKS' CONVENTION WIILIAM H. TOLLIVER. Secretary. JAMES S. CHAPMAN, District Deputy. dismissal, it being the evident policy of the administration to eliminate Negroes from positions of distinction. In the event of your election would you favor the restoration of these offices to members of the race? (3) During each year a deplorably large number of citizens are lynched, in the United States, the great majority of these being Negroes. The Federal Government, it is claimed, exeise no control over this evil, and they continue unabated and without attempt at curtailment or redress. What are your views in this respect? Would you favor the appointment of a commission to investigate "lynch law and offer means of curtailment"? Would you be willing to bring the matter to the attention of the Senate, on the floor of the body, if requested to do so? (4) There are 100,000 Negroes in the state of New Jersey, and 40,000 exercise the right of franchise. Perhaps, more than any other race group we are in need of representatives who have first-hand knowledge of our hopes and obstacles. In the event of our seeking representation in the Legislature of our state, through members of our own race, would such efforts have your approval and aid? (5) What are your views with respect to the disfranchisement laws that obtain in certain sections of the country? (6) The office to which you seek election opens up avenues of employment for a number of persons. In our race are a number of young men and women, who at considerable sacrifice have prepared themselves for work of this nature, yet they are entirely ignored. In this regard. What are your views in this respect? (7) At the last session of the Legislature we caused to be introduced a bill prohibiting picture plays, etc., that libel the character of our race, the proper name of such productions, being "Clansman plays." The bill did not come to a vote. While these plays are too grotesque to make lasting impression on intelligent minds, they serve to inflame those of the lower order against us, and add to a prejudice that already is a severe handicap to our people. Do you feel that such productions serve any good purpose? Would you favor their prohibition? (8) We are interested in the success of the Bordentown Industrial, and Training School. The last Legislature appropriated the sum of $96,500 for the operation of this school for the year 1916-1917. The training of our youth is of vital concern to the future of our race, and the present management, if properly encouraged, will accomplish much. Will the Bordentown School receive your consideration and old aid? (C) The Civil Rights Bill now upon the Statute books do not act to preserve the civil liberties of all people. Do you feel that legislation properly safe-guarding the rights of all, without reference to exterior conditions, S. 8. THOMPSON, M.D., Medical Director. EUGENE BLAIR, Past Exalted Ruler. would be advantageous to the entire citizenry of our state? Hotel Dale, Cape May, N. J. Guests at the Hotel Dale, Philadelphia: Mr. and Mrs. J. C.

FIRST SEPARATE BATTALION Relief Association. Hard at Work. During for past week the association has come to realize the need of such an organization and is doing all in its power to relieve the distress of the families of the enlisted men. Requests for assistance have already begun to pour in, and through the generous aid from the Central Committee, the association has so far been able to render assistance to all who have applied. Some of the cases are really pathetic. Women with small children and physically incapacitated find it impossible to help themselves, and unless something is done to be prepared to help the large number of cases that are sure to be reported, privation of a most serious character are certain to confront them. The association is striving to raise funds from every possible source, and it feels much encouraged by the willingness of its members to do everything possible for the comfort of these deserving people: It is to be hoped that the public will awake to the true spirit of patriotism and contribute liberally to their support. If we are to show our appreciation for the very great sacrifice which the men of the First Separate Battalion have made, we will not fall to support the several affairs now on foot to raise money for the relief of their families. Mr. Andrew Thomas has kindly vol- V ANDREW BECKETT, Past Exalted Ruler. unteered the use of Howard Theater and has engaged special attractions without cost to the committee, for a midnight performance, at 11:30 p. m. Friday, July 21, 1916, and it is to be hoped that the theater will be filled to capacity, especially since the price of admission is but ten cents. The novelty of a midnight performance should indeed appeal to a very large number of theater-goers, especially during this hot weather, and if the enthusiasm which Mr. Thomas shows can be taken as an index, the success of the affair is already assured. REV. W. H. JERNAGIN. Touring the Country in the Interest of the Race Conference—Hundreds of Responses from All Over the Country. Rev. W. H. Jernagin, pastor of Mt. Carmel Baptist Church and one of the best known race advocates in the United States, has received upwards of five hundred letters from representatives throughout the country indorsing his race conference which will take place on or about September 1st. He left the city Wednesday evening. His first stop will be Columbus, Ohio; Chicago, Ill.; Oklahoma, and many other western cities; advocating this conference. It is quite evident that Rev. Jernagin will meet with success wherever he goes. The call will be issued in a few days. It is quite likely that a committee from this conference will be appointed to call on Candidate Hughes and President Wilson. AIR TO THE SOLDIERS Beginning Monday night, July 17th, and on each following night of said crack the committee on theaters of the First Separate Battalion N. G., will ask of the patrons of the Howard Theater a voluntary contribution for the benefit of the families of the First Separate Battalion N. G. We trust this effort will meet the hearty approval of the general public and that they will assist in making this contribution as large as possible. Chagman. THE NEGRO SOLDIERS Tribute to Thier Valor and Patriotism. Rev. J. Francis Gregory, pastor of People's Congregational Church, M street between Sixth and Seventh streets, will preach a special sermon, Sunday morning, July 23, on "The Negro Soldier." gro Soldier. The time is ripe when a strong defense and a just tribute should be made for the sacrifice and valor of the negro soldiers who were made a target and shield before the heart of the nation from Boston Commons to Carrival. This address should be heard by all Washington. COLUMBIA LODGE COLUMBIA LODGE Columbia Lodge, Number 85; I. B. P. O. E. W. Holda Its Regular Election of Officers. Delegates to the Philadelphia Convention are also chosen. The Most Harmonious Session in the History of the Organization. Progress of the Lodge. At a recent meeting of Columbia Lodge, Number 85, Improved, Benevolent and Protective Order of the Elks of the World, the following officers were elected and installed: E. W. Bundy, Exalted Ruler; F. P. Williams, Esteemed Leading Knight; R. E. Brown, Esteemed Loyal Knight; W. T. Dixon, Esteemed Lecturing Knight; J. N. Anderson, Treasurer; W. H. Tolliver, Financial Secretary; Robert Jones, Assistant Secretary; Joseph Booker, Recording Secretary; R. T. Epps, Chaplain; T. E. Shipley, Esquire; Tolliver Yates, Assistant Esquire; James Carrington, Tiler; Harry L. Tignor, LL.B., Legal Advisor; S. L. Thompson, M.D., Medical Director; Albert Johnson, Master of Social Sessions; S. J. Trotter, W. S. Hall and Washington Bailey, Trustees. The District Deputy, Rev. James S. Chapman, presided at the meeting. Immediately after the election of the regular officers, the Lodge proceeded to choose the eight delegates, to the Philadelphia Convention which is to be held during the week of August 22. There was a keen, but friendly rivalry for the honors, and after a spirited contest, eight of the most progressive citizens of the community were named to represent the lodge at what promises to be one of the most important Grand Lodge sessions held in recent years. Those selected are E. W. Bundy, Harry L. Tignor, LL.B.; S. S. Thompson, M.D.; Joshua N. Anderson, W. H. Tolliver, James S. Chapman, Andrew Beckett and Eugene Blair. E. W. Bundy is the Exalted Ruler of the Lodge, and to him perhaps more than to any one else, is due the rapid growth and development of the organization. He has been persistent in his efforts to have the lodge placed on a proper financial footing, and has worked unfiringly to promote the numerical strength of the order. When he first became. Exalted Ruler the lodge was composed of about two hundred members, and had not a cent in the hands of the treasurer. On the other hand, there were several unpaid judgments against the lodge. Now, however, there are about four hundred members in good standing on the rolls, all judgments have been paid and there is still one thousand dollars in bank to the credit of the lodge. Harry L. Tignor, LL.B., is the Legal Advisor of the Lodge and has done more perhaps to keep the order out of the courts than any of his predecessors. During his three terms in office not a single suit has been filed against the lodge. S. S. Thompson, M.D., is the medical director of the lodge and a strong advocate of harmony in Elkdom. It is due to the honesty and integrity of the medical director that no person physically unfit has been able to join the order. Joshua M. Anderson, a prosperous business man, is the treasurer of the lodge, and he has well measured up to the responsibilities of his office. In his last annual report not a cent was unaccounted for. He is truly the right man in the right place. W. H. Tolliver, another business man, is the financial secretary of the lodge and perhaps the best one the lodge has ever had. Not only does he attend to the records with the greatest care, but he is specially cautious that no money is improperly paid out. James S. Chapman is the District Deputy and an ardent worker in the cause of Elkdom. He is the right-hand man of the Exalted Ruler and is always ready and willing to do his part. Andrew Beckett is a past Exalted Ruler and the secretary of the entertainment committee. As such he has been of material financial help to his lodge, and deserves the commendation of his fellow members. Eugene Blair is also a past Exalted Ruler. Although quiet and sedate in his manner, he is a persistent worker for the upbuilding of the organization. These delegates will be accompanied by the entire lodge, which in full uniform, will compete for a prize in the city of Brotherly Love. The cry is "On to Philadelphia." The lodge has not instructed the delegates as to their voting for the Grand Exalted Ruler, but it is authoritively stated the Columbia Lodge delegation will try to bring the office to the District of Columbia. Memorial Services for Fighting Tenth. On the fifth Sunday of July the Cosmopolitan Baptist Church has set aside for memorial services in commemoration of the gallant members of the 10th United States Cavalry who were recently killed in Mexico. It was through the influence of the pastor of the above mentioned church, Rev. Simon P. Drew, that the bodies of the colored soldiers were brought to Washington and given a complete military funeral, directed by the War Department. An invitation has been sent to all local colored organizations, and speakers of national prominence will speak at 3:30 and 8 p. in. on Sun day, July 30, 1916. PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS (By the Sage of the Potomac.) Every time I think of local politics reminds of a street peddler who sells wares for any price he can get for them. The average local politician is made up of cheap individuals. They don't think of any thing but a few cents. He is a dangerous individual. I mean those who have no honor-and would sell the honor of those most close to them. There is all kinds of sensations in New York. The local colored papers have said nothing about the quasi lawyer who was caught in a raid, and neither have they said anything about the Washington preacher's daughter who caused such a sensation in a cutting affray. The female who was was caught in a raid and came very being exposed will explain when she returns to the city. Of course the Sage will wait for an explanation and if it is not forthcoming he will explain it for her. Many of the Washington and Maryland females are running wild. I took a trip to Glen Island last week and if you could have seen what I saw you would be surprised. Have you ever seen a bird escape from a cage that has been caged for a season? You should have been in New York last week. My camera will tell the story shortly which will make interesting reading. Some people have an idea that they represent all the people, no matter what their standing may be. Have ever noticed an individual who arrives in town from another state how quickly he begins to run the town, or tries to run the town. The most amusing combination is the Mu-So-Lit Club, or a few individuals who are social and political nonentities at their own home. A correspondent, writing to his home paper in describing himself, and by the way, who is but a small potato at his own home, said: Mr. _____, who has been sojourning in the city for several months, was entertained by the Mu-So-Lit Club last week. It was a buffet service. Among the distinguished guests present were: Mr. Prink Face of the Treasury Department, Mr. Punch of the War Department and who will no doubt be elected its next president; Dr. Will Come, who was elected to represent his people to remain at home, which was a blow that worried father. Old Bob Pelham, Charlie Hall and a few other solid heads are the brains of this china shop. Charlie Hall, Judge Hewlett and Bob Pelham know just what to do. Judge Hewlett is always on the job. An amendment will be made to the constitution shortly to increase its membership, to enable the retired lawyers, doctors and business men to be admitted. If you have never attended a meeting of the Mu-So-Lit Club, you should do so. Since Ralph Tyler's retirement from the Mu-So-Lit its dignity has fallen below par. The school question will not down. Just watch what is going to take place. You need not believe me, but, what your eyes see, your heart will believe, is the saying of my old "granmam." Have you ever been to a magician's performance? Have you ever seen a trick turned and wondered to yourself how it was done? Then keep your eyes on the Sage and count the events that will take place. My friends, James H. Coleman and W. C. Martin, of the Odd Fellows, must be consulted, when pigmies are at the head. Don't you know that these two old relics know just what to do and how to do it? A PLEA FOR HIGH IDEALS. Vigorous and Eloquent, Address by Rev. O. E. Jones of Lexington, Ky.—Bethel Literary and Historical Association Enjoys One of Its Most Profitable Sessions—Greed, Gambling, Drink and Adultery Scored as Destructive to High Ideals—Urges Patriotism and Race Pride as Spurs to Progress—Rev. Jones a Power in Pulpit and Councils of Methodism—A Public Spirited Leader and Spiritual Teacher—Miss Madre's Luminous and Happy Introduction of Dr. Jones—Bethel New Officers Elected—Miss Madre's Interest Lapses not with Retirement from Presidency. The echoes of the eloquent, philosophical and informing address of Rev. O. E. Jones before the Bethel Literary and Historical Association will linger long, in the memory of the thoughtful and progressive people of the nation's capital. The audience which turned out to greet this able exponent of the race's advanced thought filled Metropolitan A. M. E. Church and the meeting will rank with one of the very best ever held in the long and helpful career of the Republic's foremost forum. Dr. Jones, who came to Washington at the urgent invitation of Miss Marie A. D. Madre, the energetic and painstaking president of Bethel Literary Society is pastor of Bethel A. M. E. Church at Loxington, Ky., and is one of the best-known divines in that powerful denomination. He is active and influential in a educational work, having served with marked distinction as president of one of the leading colleges of the country and is noted for his ready and hearty cooperation with the many movements throughout the land that look toward the social, religious and civic uplift of the negro people. He is public spirited to the last degree, has the courage of his convictions upon the burning questions of the day, and possesses a felicity of expression that renders him a forceful and attractive speaker upon any subject brought forward for discussion. Dr. Jones was a conspicuous and serviceable factor in the Philadelphia session of the General Conference of the A. M. E Church, and his ready grasp of the problems that great council had to meet and solve proved to be of immense value to the gathering at a number of critical stages of the proceedings. He made a lasting impression upon that eminent body of church savants and governors, and should he some day aspire to elective honors at its hands, his clique to preferment are certain to receive the most cordial approval. All of these salient points were brought out by Miss Madre in her admirably phrased and happily-toned introduction of Dr. Jones as the speaker of the evening. He was given an ovation as he rose to begin his splendid address—and it was indeed a treat of the richest quality. Though Miss Madre carried the banner of Bethel high at the Philadelphia General Conference—as she has carried it here during her five years of consecrated service as chieftain and sponsor of the organization—it was the concensus of opinion that had her visit to the Quaker City accomplished nothing more than to give to Washington this opportunity to see, to hear and to know. Dr. Q. E. Jones, her journey might be recorded in history as a glorious success—an epoch-marker in the annals of the literary and forensic life of this center of light and leading. A Plea for "High, Ideals." The theme chosen by Dr. Jones was "High Ideals." After paying a tribute to the Bethel Literary Society, as well as an appreciation of the inspiring example Washington's society set for the brethren in the "provinces," Dr. Jones' discussion of his subject, for fully an hour, interrested his hearers by his original line of thought, cogent reasoning and vivid illustrations, drawn from a mind well-stored with facts of history and the inspiration that the world-building men and women of all periods have given him. He was frequently interrupted by spontaneous applause and hearty expressions of appreciation. Prof. Cromwell Leads the Discussion. Prof. J. W. Cromwell, of the public schools, led the discussion, and complimented Dr. Jones' as an orator, original thinker and master of his subject. He said the community was deeply indebted to Miss Madre for her resourcefulness in bringing to Washington, and to Bethel, Dr. Jones and others of his virile character to aid in the establishment of high ideals, and a larger and fuller life for all mankind. Prof. Cromwell moved a vote of thanks to the speaker and all of the participants. This was adopted unanimously. Others who spoke and added much to the fund of information given out for the evening were Miss Cornee E. Martin, president of the Church Aid Society, of Metropolitan A. M. E. Church; Mr. Z. C. Westerfield, president of the Christian Endeavor Society of the church; Rev. C. H. Stepteau, pastor of the Metropolitan Church; Prof. W. H. J. Beck secretary of the Y. M. C. A.; and Mrs. Anna Johnson, interested in missionary work. Music of an unusually high quality was rendered by the choir of the Mt. Alary Baptist Church, led by Mr. N. Hedgegam; with Miss Annie Tyler as painter. Rev. Mr. Tyler was pastor of Mt. Alary Church, and he is one of Bethel's staunchest friends and sturdiest helpers. Society Elects Officers. The Bethel Literary and Historical Association help its annual election Tuesday evening at Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, and the following officers were chosen for the ensuing year; President, Archie S. Pinkett; first vice-president, S. L. McLaurin; second vice-president, Miss Marie A. D. Madre; recording secretary, George E. C. Hayes; corresponding secretary, S. M. Dudley; treasurer, Miss Julia R. Bush; lecturer and counselor, Prof. W. H. Richards; librarian, Miss Mayne Jones, marshal, Clarence E. Allen; chaplain, Rev. C. H. Steptheau. Miss Marie A. D. Madre, the retired president has served the organization with unprecedented success and brilliance, and could have been re-elected but for her positive deciliation to again fill the chair at this time. She accepted the office of second vice-president, after much persuasion, to indicate her full sympathy with the administration of her friend, Mr. Pinkett, and as an earnest of the heart support of his plans for the coming year. It was desired the organization in some practical way, as the value of her name is universally recognized. To this she consented and will be as active and as unselfish in her labors to promote the welfare of Bethel as when she was in the chair herself. was in the outlook for the new year is exceedingly bright. MILITARY HONORS PAID TO COL- ORED TROOPERS. Final rites for the six unidentified colored troopers who were killed at Carrizal, Mexico, in a fight between the Mexican and American forces were held today at Arlington cemetery. Secretary Baker of the War Department and Gen. Hugh L. Scott, chief of staff, United States Army, were in the large crowd which attended the exercises. Full military honors were accorded the troopers and the burial service was conducted by Cheplain Ravard, U. S. A. The bodies arrived at Union station last Thursday evening. Early Friday morning colored residents of Washington began to, assemble at the station. Met by Spanish War Veterans. As the funeral cortege emerged from the Union station there was standing in, military formation, with bared heads, a detachment of comrades of the war with Spain, headed by the commander-in-chief, Representative L. C. Dyer, and as the bodies were brought forward to be placed on the caissons Adjt. Gen. Jere A. Costello gave instructions to the assembled representatives of the United Spanish War Veterans to place floral tributes on each coffin. After this brief ceremony had been performed the Spanish War Veterans stood beside the coffins till the funeral procession started for Arlington. Members of Congress who are veterans of the Spanish and civil wars were also present. The United Spanish War Veterans were well represented by national officers and comrades. Among the congressmen present who are members of the United Spanish War Veterans were G. T. Helving of Kansas, George A. Loud of Michigan, Henry Bruckner of New York, W. F. James of Michigan, Daniel J. McGillicuddy of Maine, Sydney: Anderson of Minnesota, William S. Howard of Georgia, Samuel R. Sells of Tennessee, John W. Langley of Kentucky, Richard W. Austin of Tennessee, M. N. Neely of West Virginia, Cordell Hull of Tennessee, Claudius W. Stone of Illinois, L. C. Dyer of Missouri and Carl C. Van Dyke of Minnesota. John L. Donnor of Portland, Ore., was also present, representing the Department of the State of Oregon. All of the District of Columbia local camps were represented. Under Cavalry Escort. Under an escort from the 2nd Cavalry, U. S. A., and on calissons furnished by Batteries A and B, Field Artillery, National Guard of the District of Columbia, the bodies, at 8 a.m., were started on their final resting place in Arlington. In addition to the flag which draped each coffin, a number of floral emblems rested on top of each tokens from friends and relatives of the dead men, and in many cases contributed by organizations of persons who had never seen the deceased troopers. Following the caissons and escort of cavalry were a large number of colored citizens in automobiles and carriages. The Procession wound around the Capitol grounds, past Peace monument, west on Pa. avenue to 14th street, across Highway bridge and into Arlington cemetery through Treasury gate. When a bugler had sounded taps, members of the National Memorial Association covered the newly made grave with flowers. Crowds Line, the Streets. The procession created considerable interest, thousands of persons on their way to work, as well as many who had gone to the route of march especially to see the affair, lining the curbs. The funeral was under the direction of Capt. T. A. Baldwin, jr., U. S. A., on behalf of the War Department. The time selected was chosen as being convenient to Secretary Baker, who was desirous of attending the service. FLORIDA AVENUE BAPTIST CHURCH. The Superintendent of Sabbath School Resigned—Nepotism Fully Demonstrated — Pastor's Daughter and Sons Hold Jobs—She Resigns to Prevent a Split—Will the Membership Remain Intact? One of the largest crowds in the history of the church attended the church meeting Friday night. The members were wrought up over the fact that the pastor-refused to preach the funeral of a member's son on the previous Sunday, and a rumor that the "faithful few" had met the deacon board with a recommendation, ordering the superintendent to either work in harmony with the pastor or resign, caused the lecture room to be packed. The latter rumor proved to be true, and when the minutes of the board were read a recommendation signed by seven of the pastor's supporters who are attempting to dictate to the entire membership was read. Several members were on their feet and when one brother was accorded the floor and began to attack the resolution, several blows were passed; one trustee came fully 50 feet in order to strike at a member who objected to the proceedings; several harsh names were called. Cause of Trouble. The pastor wants his daughter to play for the Sunday School, a position that pays $5.00 per month. Already his son is directing the choir, $8.00 per month; rumored that he wants another son made sexton, $40 per month. Agreed that the differences he arbitrated by official board and Sunday School teachers Monday night. Pastor called on superintendent early Saturday morning and tells her that he had decided that he could not work with her no matter as how the outcome of the meeting on Monday night was. Superintendent Tenders Resignation. For four years I have been your Sunday School superintendent, and whatever good I have done, I leave it for you to say. I will not have it said that I caused this church to split. I have been praying over the matter and reading my Bible. I hold in my hand a Bible presented me by the late Rev. Geo. W. Lee, when he re- turned from London, England, and told me to let this be my guide. I have consulted it and it has given me the following thoughts (which were read by six teachers) that back up my contention, namely: 1 Eph. 4:3; Mat. 18:1; 1st Cor. 3:1-7; Matt. 5:25; 1st Peter 2:19-21; Rom. 12:16-21, and Matt. 24:25. To this the pastor responded. Amen, my prayers have been answered. Unless his resignation is coming forwith, a church fight that bids to excel any in recent years will be waged against him. Has Rev. Taylor been a success, asks the opposition: Florida Avenue Baptist Church—the history of the Pastor's Pastorate. Rev. Taylor has pastored five churches in the last 15 years. He entered the ministry about 15 years ago as pastor of Antioch Baptist Church in Hertford, N. C., later going to Shiloh Baptist Church in the same state. He is now found pastoring New Bethel and Gales Street Baptist Church, Edenton, N. C. He is his pastoring First Baptist Church of Newport News, Va. Now we find him as pastor of Florida Avenue Baptist Church of Washington, D. C. This looks more like the record of a Methodist minister, who is in and is transferred at every conference, than of a Baptist preacher, who usually dies at his second charge. A SOUTHENER PROTESTS AGAINST LYNCHING. Savannah, Georgia.—In a recent address speaking against evasion of the law, Geo. W. Owens, president of the Georgia Bar Association, told some of the results that have followed in the wake of sumptuous legislation. President Owens explained present conditions in Georgia by stating: "Of late years a wave of hysteria has gone over the state, and extremists have passed laws, surmary in character, but disguised under the veil of police regulations, which have not and never will have the undivided and genuine support of the masses of the people; private rights have been invaded, and resentment against the law engendered; the natural result has been that the laws mentioned have been generally disregarded, and it was, but a THE LAND OF THE LION step forward from refusing to obey that law to put at defiance the more important laws bearing on the well-being, good order and dignity of the state. President Owens further stated that: "This general contempt for law has resulted in the most serious consequences to the state." Georgia has had prohibition for over eight years. During this time, President Owens says that: "From having been a law-abiding state and one whose record was second to none in America, we have become the object of such adverse criticism that we are regarded as being in a condition of almost semi-barbarism." President Owens concluded his address by referring to the many lynchings which have occured in that state, suggesting that this resulted from the general contempt for laws that had been passed during a wave of hysteria which swept over Georgia. the gravest infraction of law, he said, is that of lynching, which has unfortunately become most frequent; this form of speedy justice against a criminal, which was applied almost exclusively in cases of outrage on women, has now become so common that a person charged with trivial crime, frequently suffers the extreme penalty for an act, of which, had he been convicted by due course of law, an imprisonment of shore duration, would have been the appropriate punishment. How shall the perpetrators of this crime of murder be brought to justice? It is useless to attempt to indict them in the county where the act has been committed; though they are known, the grand jury will not indict, for frequently men composing that body have been either parties to the crime or are in such sympathy with the perpetrators that they disregard their-oath of office. Chicago, Illinois—In an editorial entitled "Bad Americans," the Chicago Tribune observes; "Prohibition leaders have begun a campaign which dangerous to the safety of the country and utterly discreditable to themselves. The plan is to pledge 5,000,000 voters to vote against any party and any candidate who does not openly favor national prohibition, regardless of his views on national defence, or foreign policy, and on industrial preparedness. It is asserted that 5,000,000 people in this country believe that all intoxicants should be prohibited. There are at those figures about 95,000,000 who do not believe with them. The above statement means that 5,000,000 voters will be asked to sacrifice every issue, however pressing and however necessary to the national safety, to the one issue of forcing prohibition on this country. The seriousness of such a pledge may be gauged today when we think what it might have meant in 1860 and 1864. Such tactics might have led 5,000,000 voters to vote for disunion and for a continuance of human slavery." At a time when Negroes were being held in physical and mental bondage, as is true of many of them in some parts of the South today; when Negro suffrage is suppressed, and when the enforcement of the 14th and 15th Amendments is held in abeyance, it would indeed be discouraging if 5,000,000 voters, or any number of such voters, for instance, could permanently band themselves together against the enforcement of the War Amendments—that is, if they could get away with it!

The discussion now going on in the papers as to the failure of the republican platform adopted at Chicago to contain any reference to the lynching and disfranchisement of the negro, and to his practical exclusion from participation in civil administration, state and federal, is of value only as it shall enable us to take account of our actual condition, and to take steps to remedy such condition. For the first time in the history of the republican party the platform contains no reference, not even in the remotest sense, to the rights of the negro. The fact that there were some thirty negro delegates holding seats in the convention, and that not one of them presented a resolution on the floor thereof relating to the condition of his race, is a sad commentary on so-called negro leadership. The editor of The Bee had prepared a resolution dealing with lynching, disfranchisement and general evil and political status, and carried it to Chicago, with the purpose of presenting it to the convention, but as is known, he was not seated as a delegate, and therefore was in no position to act with effect. Now that the convention has done its work, everybody knows what the platform and the candidates have to say about his interests, except the negro. Mr. Mughes, swift on the heels of his nomination, made a statement of faith which met the views of contending factions. Roosevelt and the Progressives insisted on knowing and were informed as to Mr. Hughes' position on vital questions. The Progressives have been given large representation on the campaign committee. The women suffragists have called on the candidate and secured his views on their question. Everybody knows but the negro. Now, Mr. Hughes is a high minded, upright, able and just man. The colored people have reason to be grateful for his opinions while on the bench of the Supreme Court. He struck peonage a stinging blow. He took some of the infamy out of Oklahoma Jim Crowism. This is inuch, and for this he is entitled to praise and gratitude and even confidence. But as to his views with reference to the vital matter of representation in the administration of the general government, we are absolutely in the dark. Does he intend to keep open the door of hope? Does he intend to follow republican practice and precedent, and give colored men such recognition in the way of appointment to office as to indicate an active, living, practical belief in the equality citizenship of all men owing allegiance to the flag? We do not know. There is nothing in his history that sheds any light on these questions. Are colored voters content to go to the polls in November and cast a ballot without some substantial knowledge as to these matters? It is a duty that can not be shunned—that of obtaining some indication of purpose on the part of Mr. Hughes as to the treatment colored men are to receive at his hands, in the light of the history, traditions and practice of the republican party. As others have called on the candidate for an expression of views, why not a delegation of colored men call on him and request an expression as to these matters of very vital and fundamental concern? It should be done, and it shall be done. We have a right to expect some outgiving in Mr. Hughes' response to his notification. Now is the time to prepare for it. RACE-PREJUDICE. From the Sioux City, Iowa, Dally Tribune. Cleveland Abbott, the negro youth who was barred from service with the South Dakota guards because of a general government order, has the satisfaction of knowing that every member of the South Dakota regiment regarded him as "white" through and through. They gladly accepted him as a comrade and deeply sympathized with him in the humiliation imposed by the government order. The race problem has many ramifications. Abbott was gracious about a clean and high-minded citizen. Negroes of his type certainly should be given all possible consideration. Cleveland Abbott is an American citizen, regardless of his color. He is qualified, but his color was a bar to his admission in the white regiment. The most surprising thing is that the colored man is wanted in the army to fight, but he must fight for his country along side of his own nationality, no matter whether it is to his disadvantage or not. France-today honors the black soldiers that fight for her flag. America dishonors the name of the black man, no matter how much or how often he gives up his life in defense of his country. The Bee doesn't blame the entire south for the permeation of race prejudice throughout the country. There are some noble white people in the south who believe in the valor, honor and integrity of the colored American. It may be offensive to the poorer classes in the south to see the advance and progress of the colored man, but the blue blood of the south knows no race prejudice and the day will no doubt come when this class of people will control. The occasion for this article is an excerpt from an Iowa paper which is reproduced and will be seen at the head of this comment, in which the government shows its weakness and prejudice against an educated and brave colored American who enlisted and was willing and ready to defend his country against foreign invasion. Let us reflect. FRELINGHUYSEN OF NEW LERSEY Coming from a family whose name has been prominent in the affairs of the state of New Jersey, with a record in public life of which any man might well feel proud, a patron of husbandry, president of the State Board of Education, standing for the equal educational advantages of all the youth of the state, a stanch friend of Bordentown Institute for Colored Youth, demanding that all citizens, regardless of race, color or creed enjoy every right guaranteed under the United State Constitution, denouncing lynching, segregation of Government employees in the Federal service and making a plea for "all men up", with the endorsement of the leaders of his party and the best colored citizens of his state, Joseph S. Frelinghuysen, Senator from Somerset County, seeks the United State Senatorship from New Jersey. Mr. Frelinghuysen's record in his state, his attitude towards members of the race, his long friendship for Bordentown Institute and his open and frank stand always taken, when necessity demands, in the interest of the Negro citizens certainly merit the support of every Negro in New Jersey. In another column of this paper we have printed his reply to a set of questions submitted by the Federation of Colored Organizations of New Jersey, and his frank expression of his convictions upon all citizenship, should not only bring him the support of colored republicans of New Jersey residing at home, but those living away should interest themselves to the extent of writing letters back home in his behalf. Washingtonians fully appreciate the segregation and discrimination here in Government offices for the past four years, and if members of the Senate of Mr. Frelinghuysen's type can be sent in the majority to the next session the Negro citizens of this country need not fear the onslaught of southerners against the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments to our Constitution. Let us have Senators of the Frelinghuysen town! OUR DEAD SOLDIERS. The administration is to be thanked for the honor it paid to our dead soldiers who were killed in Mexico in defense of their country. The procession last week was an evidence that racial prejudice is fast banishing and that the American white people are beginning to realize that the color of a man's skin or his nationality is no longer a bar to recognition of merit. The Spanish war veterans; commanded by Mr. Costello; and the many representatives who were present at the funeral ought not to be forgotten by the colored Ameri- cans. While it is true that colored Americans are being denied certain rights and privileges in the body politic, they are forging their way to the front at the sacrifice of life, liberty and property. If colored men were put in command of our soldiers, The Bee guarantees that they would do more to maintain the honor and integrity to their country more so than white officers in command of negro troops. No colored officer, yet has made himself the object lesson of criticism. Had Major Young committed the blunder of Boyd he would have been held up in scorn and ridicule to the American people. However, the deed has been done. HOLD OVERS. There are at least two hold over white republicans, one in the recorder of deeds office and one in the Postoffice Department, who should be given their "ticket of leave man." These two hold overs have been more inimical to colored office holders than white individuals. Such men should be given no consideration whatever. When a white republican wants to hold his office he will show his reasons more than a democrat. There are in this country just as mean white republicans as there are mean white democrats. The recent election of delegates to the national republican convention from this city fully demonstrated this assertion. Those negro republicans who sold their honor and reputation for a small sum of copper are now pressing brick for Walker and thinking of what fools they made of themselves. They have not received all that is coming to them as yet. HUGHES OR WILSON? There are two political parties in this country that will battle for supremacy in November. The democratic party is in and the republican party is out. The colored voter is confronted with a grave situation. If he refuses to give aid to the democratic party and it should win, what consideration can he ask at its hands? On the other hand, if/ the republican party should win without the aid of the colored voter what, can he expect? The democratic party made pledges to the colored voters in 1912, but none of these pledges were carried out. Can the colored voter trust the democratic party in 1916, since it failed the Deep faith in 1912? The press dispatches stated a few days ago that Oklahoma Patterson, who was named for recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia, had organized a colored democratic club. Patterson was forced to ask the withdrawal of his name because southern democrats had threatened to oppose his confirmation. That being a fact, there is nothing in the democratic party for the colored voters. Mr. Hughes advised the New York colored voters when he was governor of New York that they ought to seek their civil and political rights and make office hunting an incident and not the strict object of his citizenship. From Mr. Hughes the colored voters need not look for an office until he obtains his civil and political rights first. The question now is, what is the salvation of the colored voter? There is nothing in the Moose party, so we must choose between Mr. Hughes and Mr. Wilson. Which? If the colored man is an American citizen under the constitution, he is not only entitled to his civil and political rights, but he is as much entitled to office as the white man, and as president of the United States the constitution should be construed and enforced in behalf of all classes of American citizens. Hughes or Wilson is the question, so let us decide. Let the colored voters go to both candidates and agin ask the question, what is to be done for the colored American? BARBARIANS FIGHT. Mr. Wm., J. Bryan may be wrong in some things, but he is certainly right when he advocated peace. Who wants war? The barbarians alone want it and not civilized nations upon this earth. Barbarians don't know right from wrong; if they do, the European war would cease. Will any one dare say that the European war is a just one? Only barbarians are in war. Falls Church, Va., Notes. The Misses Fannie and Kate Simmons gave a very nice party at their residence at which many of their friends from West Virginia, Washington, D. C., and Falls Church, Va., were present. Mr. and Mrs. Phillips of Providence Heights entertained quite a large crowd of their children and grand- children, some twenty-eight in number, from the city on July 4th.

The famous West End Club, with Miss Estrella Collins, has been carrying off this banner every year for the past three years. The hill, Sunday will be filled with crowds from surrounding Sister churches. From Theological Seminary Rev. Dr. Ford's people say they are coming. From Mt. Pleasant Rev. Dr. Pinkett's people say they are coming. From the city and afar will be visitors, some returning from a hastily made vacation trip, others coming after a year or more absence from home. This is not only an annual rally, but an annual homecoming and reunion visit. The friend, theiral visiting guests will be accompanied by their choirs and congregations, and great will be the day. Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Stuart, Mr. Wm. Stuart and Miss Marie Johnson were Sunday, July 9, visitors with Mrs. Rosa Dixon of West End. Mrs. Anderson and son of Hall's Hill, Va., spent Sunday July 9, with Mr. Isaac Fitzhugh and wife, Mrs. Kate Fitzhugh.

There were the usual morning services at Mt. Olive Baptist Church last Sunday wikth Pastor Joseph Lee and staff on hand. The choir was out in good spirit and the day a fair one. On Monday night there was a lawn party, well attended, on the lawn at Mrs. Rachel Jackson's in East Arlington, Va. The pastor and some friends from the city were present. Arlington is alive apparently along all lines. The East Arlington Citizens' Association are entertaining at Hill's Hall, East Arlington, under lead of Mr. Geo. Foreign Mission Convention 20TH ANNUAL MEETING OF LOTT CAREY BAPSTIST FOR EIGN MISSION CONVENTION. Will convene at Sharon Baptist Church of Baltimore, Stricker and Presstman streets, N. W. Baltimore, August 27th, 10 A. M., Wednesday before first Sunday in September, 1916. Because of the high cost of living, delegates will be charged $1.00 per day paid when they register, and assigned homes by cards where they will stop during the Convention's session. The dollar will include meals served at the church and pay for lodging. The indications are that more delegates will be present than at any previous annual meeting of the Convention. The pastor, officers and members will do everything they can to make the delegates stay while in Baltimore pleasant. Delegates will add to their comfort by informing the pastor they will attend the Convention, on or before August 20th, 1916. Address the pastor, Rev. W. M. Alexander, D.

First Baptist Church at Rosslyn, Va., with Rev. Wm. A. Carter, pastor, still at the helm, completed a successful rally on the 4th Sunday in last month, raising over eighty dollars in the effort. Rebecca Circle led in this rally, with total returns of over fifty dollars, with Ruth Circle coming next, with more than fifteen dollars. On the second Sunday in this month there were two good services, though the weather was somewhat inclement. The afternoon service was a fervent communion service. The Sunday School will now start out on their work for the fall rally to take place on the 1st Sunday in September. At the residence of the superintendent, Mr. Jesse Flemming, on Monday night, 11th inst. the first entertainment by the Sunday School was given, a more specific account of which will be given later. The Christian Endeavor meetings, under lead of Mr. W. L. Smith, held on Thursday nights, are growing in interest. Miss Sarah Peterson, Jr., led the meeting last week very creditably indeed. Mrs. Elizabeth Daniels is now all smiles again since Prof. Daniels has returned from his vacation trip on a visit to his daughter, Mrs. Mahoney, in Pittsburgh, Pa. The Prof. looks very much refreshed from his trip. Miss Oliver from "Sparrow's Point, Md., a notice of Mrs. James, is here on a visit for a few days with Mrs. James. The executive committee of the Arlington Baptist Sunday School Union meets at First Baptist Church this week to plan the usual annual Sunday School Union picnic. Mrs. J. Anderson and sister, Mrs. L.

C. and Mrs. Susie Ewell of Hall's Hill Va, as guests at their beautiful home in Rosslyn, Va. The elder Miss Shorter is a teacher in the public schools of the city. Mr. Peterson attended a meeting of the L. and D. of Liberty of A., on Sunday afternoon at Ashgrove, Va. We saw our good friend and brother W. L. Smith smiling. Finally, he burst out, "A fine little daughter came to see us this morning." Both mother and daughter, little Miss Smith, are doing well. Of course while our boys are going down to Mexico to fight, our girls will go to nurse the sick and wounded. So we need both, just now. MT. PLEASANT, VA.

Pleasant public school, under lead of their faithful worker and teacher, Mrs. L. H. Jackson, who is the efficient treasurer of the fair association, entertained most lavishly, serving on this occasion one of the finest luncheons ever given. The place of meeting being inland some three or more miles from the railroad necessitated another automobile ride for those attending from afar, and this arrangement was most delightfully consummated. The next meeting will take place August 9, at Woodsland second floor, where Mr. Jasper and patrons there will give a grand picnic in honor of the coming of the fair committee. This fair takes place October 13, 1916, at the fair grounds near Fairfax Courthouse. Join the Royal Knights of King David. "AMERICANISM." AMERICANISM.

THEIR FEATS OF ENDURANCE. Spalding All Alone Twirled the Old Boston Nationals to Victory Four Years In Succession—Radbourne's Great Record—Some Sad Finishes. What becomes of all the great pitchers who thrill the baseball, populace for a day? That depends upon the age in which they lived. If a man won his fame in the period from twenty to forty years ago he probably went back penniless to manual labor whence he came, or else he found an early grave. But if he was fortunate enough to make his baseball fame within the last score of years he may still be drawing a good salary from some club treasury. Or he may be enjoying prosperity as a successful business man. A. G. Spalding was one of the few men who won nation wide fame on the diamond in the earlier period, was absolutely unspoiled by it and then followed it up with even greater fame in the business world. Spalding jumped into the limelight as a seventeen-year-old boy with the Rockford (III.) club way back in 1867. Talk about the endurance of the modern twirling giants! Just consider what this original iron man did in the early seventies. During that period he was a member of the Boston Nationals, and he won the league championship for his team four years in succession. He was Boston's only pitcher, and he twirled every game the team played, though in those days games were scheduled only every other day. and the season was shorter than it is now. Old timers love to dwell on the prowess of Charles Radbourne, who shone with quite as much brilliance as Spalding until consumption cut short his career, about twenty-five years ago. Radbourne was a member of the Providence team, and when Charles Sweeney deserted that club in midseason only Radbourne was left for slab work. But that didn't bother Radbourne, for he not only jumped right in and did all the pitching, but made a new world's record by winning eighteen straight games and the championship for Providence. This gameness, however, cost Radbourne his life, for his health broke under the strain, which was generally credited with having caused his consumption. From day laborer to the world's premier pitcher and then back again, is, in brief, the history of Amos Rusie, who from 1880 to 1894 thrilled the baseball world. Rusie had a narrow escape from being cast into the utter darkness of oblivion before he could get started. The first day he entered the big league he was weighed by Bancroft, the manager of the Cleveland team, and found wanting. After watching him pitch one game Bancroft let him go. But John T. Brush, owner of the Cincinnati club, had faith in this youngster, gave him his chance, and suddenly the recruit blossomed forth into the greatest pitcher of his day. But prosperity and the applause of the unthinking crowd were too much for Rusie. Then there were Tim Keefe and John Clarkson, about whose respective merits the fans are still divided. In 1888 Keefe won nineteen straight games for New York, while in 1890 Clarkson pitched seventy-two games for Boston, winning forty-six of them. These two men, whose exploits were heralded from one end of the country to the other, were radically different in temperament. Clarkson utterly ruined his health by not taking proper care of himself and died in an insane asylum. But Tim Keefe retired with money in the bank. Probably more printers' ink was used to tell of the exploits of the eccentric Rube Waddell than any other baseball player that ever lived. Rube was always good for a story, no matter what he did. On the diamond this man was forever breaking records, first in jumping from one team to another and then by making a strikeout records. Probably his greatest, feat was when he called in all the outfielders and then retread the side in order. But consumption finished his broken down constitution. Cy Young belongs to a different school of pitches. He was a shining example of baseball longevity founded upon clean living. This marvelous man, who broke into major league baseball in 1890, pitched every season for twenty-two years, a record still unequaled—Philadelphia Ledger. The Fragonard Panels. The celebrated Fragonard panels had their inception, it is said, in the lavish expenditures of the Countess du Barry. They were designed for her chateau, but never adorned it, owing to a dispute between the painter and the king's favorite. Mme. du Barry, notwithstanding her lowly origin, was extremely critical in matters of art and was dissatisfied with these pictures, which are among the greatest prizes of the connoisseurs of today. Color Blindness. The ratio of color blind people to those of normal sight is about 65 to 1,154. This does not mean that all of the sixty-five are absolutely color blind, but that that is the ratio of those who are more or less affected. Color blindness is said to have been discovered by the famous Dr. Priestley in 1777. Try to be happy in this present moment and put not off being so to a time to come. 'Circulteous Route.

Hundreds of new accounts were added on the opening day. Mr. Fleming Tucker is cashier. Some of the colored ministers of Savannah, Georgia, are co-operating with the Local Negro Business League by preaching sermons based upon the importance of supporting race enterprises. McGraw Brothers and Moore, grocers at Waycross Georgia, have just completed arrangements for a new and striking window display of Jello Ice Cream Powder. As a result of the activities of the Local Negro Business men at Waycross, Georgia, the colored business men have organized the Laborers Penny Savings and Loan Company, he stockholders are paying their subscriptions promptly and the company expects to engage in a regular banking business beginning January 1, 1917. Carlton W. Gains is the president and R. W. Williams is secretary. Thomas Hudson, the owner of three grocery stores in Valdosta, Georgia, says that his success has been due to his policy of selling only reliable merchandise and then backing it up. "My goods must satisfy my customers," says Mr. Hudson. Thomas Middleton owns and conducts a fifteen-acre truck farm in Valdosta, Georgia. He supplies green groceries to the retail merchants of that city. A. B. Walton, a successful undertaker of Valdosta, Georgia, has just completed a $20,000 brick building with five stories and offices upstairs. The Enterprise Company of the same city has valuable real estate holdings in the business section of the city. A movement has been started in Georgia for a State Negro Business League. Spencer's Millinery Establishment in Columbus, Ga., is one of the most successful business enterprises of the race in that city. Miss M. A. Spencer, the manager of the business, is a graduate of Tuskegee Institute. The Local Negro Business League at Columbus, Georgia, has been revived with Dr. E. J. Turner as president and J. R. Curtis, manager of the Southern Guide as secretary. Dr. Turner is Grand Medical Director, Knight of Pythias of Georgia and is otherwise prominent in state, business and political circles. E. D. Redding is one of the successful business men of Macon, Ga. He has been engaged in the wholesale and retail fish business for over fourteen years. His weekly sales average 3,600 pounds. H. W. Wilson is a successful colored grocer of Macon, Ga. Mr. Wilson conducts a candy factory in conjunction with his business and specializes in peanut and coconut candy for which he has built up a large demand. The various enterprises conducted by C. H. Douglass of Macon, are a credit to the city as welly as the race. Mr. Douglass has a modernly equipped moving picture and vauderyville parlor barber shop., pool room and cafe. Local Negro Business Leagues at Columbus, Macon and Augusta, Ga., are formulating plans for a State Negro Business League. In Augusta, Georgia, there are three co-operative grocery stores among the colored people. One of these concerns, the Augusta Merchising Company, has been in business about eight years. Butler's Bakery, a Negro enterprise, employs eight people. T. M. Dugas and Sons of Augusta, Ga., successful undertakers, carry a stock, not including the thre-story brick building, which is valued at $10,000. The Pilgrim Health and Life Insurance Co., and the Georgia Mutual Insurance, of which, W. S. Hornsby and Shewell respectively are mangers have their home offices in Augusta, Ga., and between them give lucrative employment to nearly one hundred persons. Of interest financially to the race is the announcement of the formation of a syndicate headed by W. H. C, Brown, Investment Banker, Washington, D. C., and Brown and Stevens, Bankers, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, THE CROSS and others, which syndicate has underwritten the entire new issue of $50,000 Capital and Surplus of Standard Life Insurance Co. When this Company, which is the only old-line legal reserve life insurance company in the world, owned and operated by the race, was first organized it was necessary to secure the aid of white banking institutions to help finance it. It is a signal in the history of the financial institutions of the race that a group of colored financial institutions can undertake and carry forward a project involving so large a amount of money. It is very creditable to these financial institutions that their resources enable them to carry on such undertaking, fraught with so much good to the race and which will result profitably to themselves, the public and the Company. This stock will be offered to the public by the syndicate and an opportunity given to participate in this great organization. WACO HORROR STIRS TO ACTION N. A. A. C. P. Opens Subscription to $10,000 Anti-Lynching Fund. Fifty 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 Moerfield 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 $8,000 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 dead niggers to his credit," and is therefore very popular. Unless he is to go back to hugging juggles in aviators for the hardware store, Sam needed 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 and rape. His trial was set for Monday, May 15. The crowd began gathering 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, allowed 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. The jury 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 could hold and laugh like a CONSULT US FIRST ALL KINDS OF PRINTING Linotype Composition Electric Power Presses TRIANGLE PRINTING CO.

When the boy's clothes had been cut up and distributed as souvenirs there were not enough pieces to go around, so somebody cut off an ear for his keepsake. 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 to the utterter of the steps 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 up and the firemen had a high view. A manicurist, who works for Goldstein and Mingle, whose windows look out on the square, told the investigator she saw them unsex the lad.

Incorporated 1914 tightened around his neck, this half-d creature reached up convulsively to grab it, so they cut his fingers off. The Waco Times Herald makes no bones of it. "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 reproached. "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 boo-boo body, which have brought as high as five dollars apiece from those who could afford such rare and permanent souvenirs.

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 boorish 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 his 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 homes 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. Dearle, what good does that desk light do you at that angle? Don't you know you will run your eyes? What a mess your desk is! I 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 want 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, goodby, dear. Get your shoes shined before you come home—you look a 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 mer 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 Bethelhem is one of the most interesting events in musical production in this country. "Musically Bethelhem, Pa. is the most remarkable town or settlement in the United States." In 1780 Bethelhem bid an orchestra, probably the first in the United States. In 1001 the Bethelhem music festival was marked by the first performance in America of Bach's complete Christmas oratorio. Bethelhem 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. Japanese women wear gold pins in their hair until they reach the age of twenty-five. At thirty the pins are white, and at forty they wear plain shell combs.

"Maybe he is, but even oysters, dumb as they are, find it hard to keep out of a stew." - Baltimore American. Macaroni.

Corinth a Better Field For the Gospel. Than Was Athena—As Usual, the Message Was Opposed and Biashed by Those Who Preferred "the Traditions of the Elders." "Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace." - Verse 9. ATHENS did not prove to be a very successful field for the Apostle Paul's labors. He quickly perceived that science and philosophy, raised so-called, occupied the attention of its citizens, and so satisfied their minds that they were not so ready for the Truth as were some others less highly educated. In this respect his experience coincides with that of all who sincerely preach the Gospel of Christ stripped of all human invention and philosophy, and also illustrates his declaration that not many wise, great or learned, accord- ing to this world's standard, will be amongst the heels of the Kingdom. 1 Corinthians 1:26 20. A man is seated on a bed, reading a book. A woman is kneeling beside him, holding a bowl of food. They are surrounded by a stone wall. Leaving Athens. St. Paul journeyed about forty miles to Corinth, a prominent, commercial city, noted for its manufactures. It was much less moral than Athens. was much less moral than Athens, much less refined, but nevertheless a better field for the Gospel. Where religious forms and ceremonies become popular, they are apt to have correspondingly less weight. But where slim immorality and irreligion are popular, minds having a religious trend are apt to be more free, more open for the Truth. Unsatisfied by formalism, this class more keenly recognize righteousness because of its sharp contrast with the sln abounding. Apparently St. Paul was considerably downcast at this time. His rough experiences at Philippe, his small success at Athens, the slenderness of his purse and his need of fellowship contributed to make him so; and he informs us that the Lord encouraged him with a vision. Soon after his arrival at Corinth he found Aquila and Priscilla his wife. They were tent-makers; and this being the Apostle's trade, he abode with them and labored. At that time it was customary that the sons of the upper classes should learn a trade, however well educated otherwise. St. Paul's trade enabled him to provide for his necessities while preaching the Gospel—not that it would have been a sin for him to receive support. from the believers, but that he hoped that the Gospel would commend itself the more if its chief expounder preached the Truth without charge, laying down his life for the brethren. Notwithstanding his discouragements and the fact that his labors barely provided for his maintenance, the Apostle never forgot that his chief mission. in life was the preaching of the Gospel. We read that: every Sabbath day he reasoned with the Jews in the synagogue. Finally Silas and Timothy arrived, bringing with them not only good fellowship and encouraging news, but also a gift—quite probably from Lydia, the seller of purple dyes. The effect of these encouragements was that the Apostle felt a fresh vigor urging him to present his Message more zealously and thus to bring matters to a focus at the synagogue. After testifying with great boldness and finding that the Message was repelled by the majority of the synagogue, the Apostle forced the crisis by shaking his garment, as if not to take from them even the dust, and saying to those who had opposed and blasphemed. "Henceforth I go to the Gentiles." The effect was good in two ways: (1) helped Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, to take a decided stand; whereas otherwise he might have been stunted in his spiritual development. (2) The fact that the Jews had repudiated the Apostle's Message drew the attention of the Gentiles the more particularly to the Gospel. Some of these Gentiles already believed. The new meetings were held in the home of Justus, near the syna- The Jews had repudiated the Apostle's Message drew the attention of the Gentiles the more particularly to the Gospel. Some of these Gentiles already believed. The new meetings were held in the home of Justus, near the synagogue. Thus those who attended the synagogue would be continually reminded of St. Paul's Message and possibly would enter the house of Justus and hear more respecting the fulfillment of the propheclesy in Jesus. The result was that a considerable number of Corinthians believed and were baptized, thus symbolizing their consecration to do God's will. Thus we see that opposition is not necessarily an injurious thing to the Cause of the Lord. On the contrary, a most dangerous condition is stagnation. Evidently the Lord saw that His servant Paul needed some encouragement at this time. Hence another vision was granted, in which the Apostle was told, "Be not afraid, but speak and hold not the peace; for I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to harm thee. For I have much people in this city." What an insight this incident gives us as to the Divine supervision of the Gospel Message and its servants! That vision and its Message, we may be sure, were not merely for the Apostle, but for all of the Lord's people from that time until now. NATIONS BEFORE GOD'S JUDGMENT BAR Judgment Day of Nations Begun. Professedly Christian Kingdoms Manifesting Their True Character. Responsibility Proportionate to Light and Opportunities Ignored. Newport, R. I. July 16. — Pastor Russell delivered a forceful address before the I. R. S. A Convention here today. His text was, "The Lord your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the Lord your God with all your heart and with PASTOR RUSSELL Newport, R. I. July 16. — Pastor Russell delivered a forceful address before the I. R. S. A. Convention here today. His text was, "The Lord your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul." (Deut. 13:3.) A report follows; Whoever looks out over the world today can perceive that God is judging the nations, especially those that have been greatly blessed with His favor. He is permitting the nations of Christendom to pass judgment upon themselves, to manifest their real heart condition, to show whether they have profited by their opportunities and blessings. The Almighty is bringing to light the real condition of humanity; and the nations are manifesting the fact that SELFISHNESS is the root from which spring the evil fruits of jealousy, envy, hatred, strife. The whole world is being crazed as the angry passions of the race are being aroused. Just as the Master said to the Jews, "Behold, your House is left unto you desolate," so now desolation is coming upon Christendom. But man's extremity will prove to be God's opportunity. Messiah's Kingdom is just beyond the trouble, and will bring everlasting peace and prosperity. The world has come to esteem itself to be Christian, the speaker said. The European nations are generally styled "Christian nations." Nevertheless the Bible declares that the world is not Christian, has not the Spirit of Christ in its activities. Therefore the world is self-declared. To the extent that nations have had light, to that extent they are responsible. The Bible does not credit the world with full responsibility, however. Only those have full responsibility who have taken the step of entire consecration to God through Christ. Having been begotten of the Holy Spirit, these have an amount of light that brings a life or death responsibility. World's Judgment Begun. The world's responsibility is proportionate to its light. Surely God would expect more of the peoples of Europe than of Asia and Africa, who have little knowledge of Him. So just at this time, when Bible chronology shows that God's lease of power to the Gentle governments has expired, we see exactly what we should expect—that God is permitting the nations to pass judgment upon themselves, to demonstrate whether or not they have made proper use of their opportunities for development in righteousness. These nations have had much to say about the Lord; they have held aloft the Cross of Christ; they have many places for prayer and worship, hosts of priests and preachers of all denominations. With all these advantages for centuries, we might have expected that Europe would be in a much better condition than it is—that the people would have learned what is the Spirit of Christ and what is not. St. Paul declares that the Lord's Spirit is manifested in meekness, gentleness, patience, godliness, self-control, love. With the exception of Turkey, the peoples of Europe claim to be Christian. The Lord is now proving them. Not having been taught God's way, the masses are demonstrating that they are not His children. Not having passed from condemnation to justification by faith in Christ's redemptive sacrifice and by full consecration to God, they are still in their sins. Seemingly they have no proper conception of their privilege of presenting themselves living sacrifices to God. (Romans 12:1, 2) Judged by what people themselves declare, very few have taken these steps. While in all these nations, God has a truly consecrated people, yet the great mass are only outwardly, professing Christians. Now He is bringing to them the knowledge of their true condition. The Pastor fears that our own country will not escape in the impending judgment. There is much of Christian profession here—a form of godliness devoid of its power—much of worldliness, extravagance and corruption. There is also much of restlessness and dissatisfaction. Indeed, the whole world is becoming crazed as men's angry passions are being stirred up. The whole world is demonstrating that behind this trouble which is spreading everywhere is SELFISHNESS. Pressure is brought upon smaller countries to force them into the conflict. Nations have bargained over the sacrifice of their people's lives. God is also judging His true people. (1 Peter 4:17) While He has judged them throughout the Age, his judgments are now to accomplish a separating work. (Matthew 13:30) Nevertheless the faithful amongst His people can rejoice, for their deliverance draweth near Messiah's Kingdom is at hand, even at the door, and will bring everlasting peace and blessing.

SUNDAY SCHOOL SUPERINTEND ENT RESIGNS. 34 Teachers Follow—Dissatisfaction in the Florida Avenue Baptist Sunday School Reigns—Pulpit In All Probability to Be Declared Vacant. The superintendent of the Florida Avenue Baptist Sabbath School has resigned and 34 teachers, under the competent female superintendent, has withdrawn with her. There is a religious revolution in this church. It was this same crowd that seceded from the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church when Rev. Willis was elected pastor. Now, these people can't agree among themselves and a mild revolution is about to take place within the ranks of this same crowd. For some time there has been a great deal of dissatisfaction to the pastor, Rev. Taylor, because he was first instrumental in having Prof. Harris removed from the directorship of the choir. Next in order was the arbitrary action of the preacher in wanting to control the entire business of the church. Rev. Taylor declared some time ago that he would not pastor any church that he could not supervise its business; that he must know what is being done. Miss Toliver, the superintendent of the Sabbath School, who has resigned, is one of the most accomplished young women in Sabbath School work. It was she who has made the Florida Avenue Baptist Sabbath School second to none. The Bone of Contention. The Bone of Contention. The superintendent and teachers stand for efficiency along all lines for the making of the Sunday School second to none. One of the things striven for was good music. A competent performer at the piano was needed. Prof. Charles Harris was engaged. The pastor asked that his daughter be tried. Prof. Harris offered no objection. Daughter tried, found incompetent; pastor conferred with—begged now to withdraw his daughter; Prof. Harris employed; Rev. Taylor started on war path; put out Prof. Harris from playing organ; put him out of S. S. But his daughter was not employed, owing to age, 14 years, and unable to teach music. Started after superintendent; requested her to take back his daughter; teachers continued standing for efficiency. Army recruited to put out superintendent, so daughter could be installed. Last Friday night, 14th, clash came; matters could not be settled. A meeting of officers of church and teachers set for Monday night; July 17. Sunday, July 16, resignation of Superintendent tendered. Served four years; brought school from nothing to enrollment of about 450; average attendance, 275; school graded; 36 competent teachers, a group to be envolved by any school. Mr. Green stands for efficiency and surrounded by many workers of the same opinion. The result was Rev. Taylor had him ousted because he would not give in to 14-yearold daughter who is in the second grade of music, under Miss Childers of Howard University. The superintendent, president of the Endeavor, Prof. Harris, neither violated a church law or any other law of the church. The treatment of Mr. Robert Green, a teacher in the public schools, and who is connected with this church, has been loudly condemned. This gentleman is connected with the Christian Endeavor and it is stated that he made every sacrifice to make it a success. Notwithstanding the resignation of the superintendent to prevent a split in the church, there is nothing to stop it, from all indications. -BOY SCOUTS. All Scout officials should be impressed with the importance of the utmost care in avoiding any hasty action which might involve unjust criticism of the Boy Scouts of America. During two years of war in Europe, the Boy Scout movement has successfully maintained itself as an asset to the civic authorities, distinct from the military branch of the service. It is confidently belied that all Scout officials will cheerfully co-operate to have, this condition prevail in our own country. In case of doubt as to the propriety of Boy Scouts doing any patriotic service, the National headquarters will gladly respond promptly, and when necessary, by telegram, to all requests for advice. Satterlee troops, No. 500 and 501, of which A. L. Hill and N. F. Henry are Scoutmasters, will re-register on August 1st. Members of these troops who are in arrears must pay all indebtedness before they can re-register All Tenderfoot Scouts must be prepared to take their second class examination. Applicants may apply at 937 R street northwest for membership in troop No. 500; at 206 P street northwest for membership in troop No. 501, or at Satterlee House on Tuesday or Wednesday between 7:30 and 9 o'clock p. m. M. M. C. A. troop No. 505, with their Scoutmaster, Mr. Lee C Brown, went for a long hike last Tuesday. They practiced tracking, signaling, going a mile in 12 minutes at Scout pace, and swimming. Scoutmaster John Randall of the southeast troop and Assistant Scout master Wm. McCoy are working very hard and if we don't hustle, will have the best troop in the city. These troops assisted with a Block party on the 17th, 18th and 19th and received much praise. Scoutmaster Clarence Brooke, with several Satterlee House Scouts, assisted the Tuesday Evening Club at their picnic on the 15th. The ladies were much pleased and said they could hardly have gotten on without them. Few recreations bring with them so much pleasure for a healthy person as camping; the reason for this is not far to seek. We all of us want liberty. Every human being in the world, whether civilized or savage, millionaire or factory hand, prince or pauper, is trying to obtain for himself freedom, independence. Why is it we all work hard? First, for subsistence, and then in the hope that we may accumulate enough property to be independent, and free to do what he please. This freedom the camper attains and at a very trifling cost, when he leaves his usual surroundings, moves away into the open and lives as nearly as possible a natural life. Even though he has it for only a short while, yet how greatly he enjoys it. Encourage your boy to become a Scout and enjoy the advantages Boy Scouts enjoy. Satterlee House was the scene of a concert last Friday evening given by Dr. Clara Smyth and assisted by Boy Scouts. They had a large crowd and a good time. "THE PRICE." This was the play that was presented at the Howard Theater Monday evening in which Mr. Nathaniel Gray made his appearance as Stonnard Dole and who was greeted with one of the largest and most classic audiences that has ever assembled in this great playhouse. Mr. Guy made a great hit and the most realistic death fall was made by him, which was enthusiastically applauded. It was the most natural scene that has ever been witnessed by theater goers and it surprised the most noted professional actor. Miss Cleo Desmond as Susan was also very clever. Miss Able Mitchell was very good until the last act in which she didn't come up to the standard of a professional actress. She was not distinct; her acting didn't come up to her former standard. Mr. Walker Thompson, as Dr. Ethan Bristol, M.D., in this play, and in the last scene he mouths his words and his acting is rather amateurish. In this act and scene both Miss Mitchell and Mr. Thompson could have made a brilliant display of oratory and fine acting, but both lacked force. Miss Mitchell is a good actress and The Bee would take nothing from her record in all former plays. Miss Mamie Young-made a good hit in the play entitled "Today". In this play she shines. Miss Desmond and Mr. Babe Townsend are always, good. They are natural and seemingly at home. The teachers turned out in force to greet their associate, Mr. Guy. Mr. Byers, the house manager, is becoming very entertaining in his announcements. Next week summer prices, 10, 15 aud 25 cents, "In the Bishop's Carriage," by Channing Pollack.

IVY CITY BEAMS The Old Folks Songsters of the Trinity Baptist Church gave on excellent concert on Friday night, July 7th, which was highly praised. They expect to travel from church to church, as they have been invited by many already. It was so highly appreciated that they have been asked to repeat it at Trinity Baptist Church on the 24th inst., and on the 31st inst. at Trinidad Baptist Church, pastored by Rev. Hawkins, at Bladensburg Road and Levy streets. The songsters are under the leadership of Mr. Lewis Fitzhugh in singing, with Rev. C. W. Hearns, Mrs. Celia Gillespie, Mr. Forest M.

The Sunday School had an attendance of 40 or 50 pupils. The afternoon service was a communion service. The night services were dispensed with on account of services at Mt. Vernon M. E. Church. The pastor of Trinity Baptist Church, Rev. E. T. Lewis, held a private service christening the baby of Mrs. Mary Saunders at the home of Rev. Charles W. Hearns. A very pleasant evening was had with ice cream and cake served in abundance. The Sunday School hour at Mt. Vernon M. E. Church was an inspiring one, and the pleasant words of appreciation given by the good pastor, Rev. C. I. Withrow, and his helpers sunk deeply in a grateful heart and will not be forgotten. Mt. Vernon is building well. The Mt. Bethel Juvenile Society, No. 1208 with Eureka Lodge, 4562, and Bethel H. H. of Ruth, 1710, G. U.

Music and games gave the young folks much delight and all went off nicely. HOTEL NEWS The hotels and restaurants of Washington assisted Baltimore greatly in entertaining hundreds of Elks who were attending the annual convention in the Monumental City. Just after the Elks left town 1,200 members of the Postmaster's Association, with headquarters at the Raleigh hotel, arrived, thus causing business to flourish in the midst of the summer season. One of the busiest seasons of the American seashore resorts have had for years has almost come to a sudden halt, caused by treacherous man-eating sharks attacking the bathers. Many have left Asbury Park, Atlantic City, Bay Head, Point Pleasant and several other seaside resorts on the Jersey coast on account of the recent shark scare. The surf has been practically forsaken by hundreds of bathers. The shark problem has become so accute until the Federal Government has been called upon for help.
