ORDER IS REVOKED ORDER IS REVOKED SEGREGATION ORDER IS REVOKED. (By James C. Waters, Jr., Contributing Editor. Through the direct intervention of Hon. James E. Martine, United States Senator from New Jersey, that insulting segregation order issued by Major W. W. Harts, superintendent of State, War and Navy building in this city, has been revoked. Although no public announcement of it has been made, I am able to state that the order was rescinded yesterday, and thereby the race is given grounds for great satisfaction. Segregation is putrid in principle. For that reason, no matter how skillfully it may be carried out in practice, the very mention of it brings the flush of indignation to the cheek of every man or woman, through whose veins there courses as much as a drop of red blood. Segregation is ghettolism, the same thing that has made "the pale" in Russia a synonym for littleness of heart, and the name of Russia itself little better than a byword and a hissing. That is why its presentation on the stage made "The Yellow Ticket" a play to arouse men's anger, instead of a source of entertainment. That such an order should have been issued and made effective in the State War and Navy building; at such a time as this almost beggars belief "War and Navy"—the words are hollow shams if they do not sinify blood and iron and manhood; and "State Department"—the place from which the whole nation speaks to the world at large—of all the places under the sun where it would seem that a segregation order would not be put into effect, the home of these three great governmental departments should have been that place. Yet, such an order was issued and put into effect by Major W. W. Harts and he did at a time when the bodies of colored soldiers butchered in the shambles at Carrizal had hardly had time to settle in their newly made graves a short distance away in Arlington Cemetery. Senator Martine is entitled to the thanks of the whole race. His act in having this order revoked was the deed of a big man. It will be appreciated by colored men and women, by the Jewry and all over the nation and I have no doubt the thousands of letters will reach the Senator, telling him so. In concluding it is only fair to pause long enough to add that this is not the first time Senator Martine has stepped out of his way to serve the colored citizenry of this nation. There has been no brass band to announce how time after time Senator Martine has come to the aid of individuals among the colored people since he came to the senate, but those who know the facts, know that the sum total of human happiness in this community has been greatly increased by Senator Martine's kindly attitude. Besides, it can not be forgotten that when the big things came on for consideration in the Senate, and measures of great import to the colored people were being voted on there, the Congressional Record shows that Mr. Martine's vote was in the right place every time. For these reasons I feel a deep personal gratitude to Senator Martine, and I gladly grasp this opportunity to make public declaration of that fact. DR. W. S. RICHARDSON. A Representative:Republican and One of the Leading Druggists in the United States—A Good Compromised Republican for National Committeeman. In a very few weeks it is reported, that the National Republican Committee will name a National Committeeman for the District of Columbia as the successor of Chapin Brown, Esq. There are several candidates in the field but there is no man who has contributed more to the success of the republican party in this city than Dr. W. S. Richardson, a representative republican and one of the leading druggists in the United States. The National Committee will endeavor to select a man who is not and has not been identified with any faction and that man is being supported by the leading republicans and other republican organizations in this city. Dr. Richardson will fill the bill in every respect. He has been a live loge republican; born in Vermont and has been a citizen of Washington for more than thirty years. He is respected by the people, irrespective of politics, and a liberal contributor to the republican campaign committee. He is a qualified member of the Board of Trade and a man who has been identified with every improvement at the capital of the nation. With such a man on national committee will give entire satisfaction to republican; born in Vermont and republican party intact in this city. THRILLING DRAMA AT THE HOW- ARD THEATRE.NEXT WEEK. The Quality Amusement Corporation scored another sensational hit this week in New York, when they presented the play entitled "At Bay." As early as half-past eight a large stream of people filled the lobby of the well-known Lafayette Theatre on Monday evening, seeking to gain admittance, but over five hundred had to be turned away, as standing room in the spa clous house was at a premium and the people surged right out to the doors, fighting hard to get a glimpse of one of the best plays of the season. This remarkable offering will be the attraction at the Howard Theatre next week, and if ever a play carried thrill galore and tense situations, "At Bay" will live up to the reputation made on ower Broadway, New York. Mr. Andrew Bishop, son of the Rt. Rev. Hutchins Bishop, of St. Philip's Parish in New York, is taking the leading role and scoring a remarkable success, while Miss Inez Clough is swaying her audiences with her emotional ability. Miss Clough's perfect poise and full control of the English language is adding to the laurels she has already won since she became a member of the Lafayette Theatre. J. Francis Mores is playing the part of the United States District Attorney, and Washingtonians will learn with delight that the scenes of the play are laid here, and Mr. Mores never appeared to better advantage. Luke Scott, who made a remarkable hit with the Smart Set in "George Washington Bullion Abroad," is taking the part of Robert Dempster, Chief of the U.S. Secret Service, and made quite an auspicious start on Monday evening, when he first appeared in "At Bay." Others in the cast, that is said to be one of the best-balanced that ever appeared here, are Marle Young, Will A. Cook, H.L. Pryor, Carlotta Freeman, Charles Taylor, Ruth Carr, Eddie Brown and Arthur Wilkes. GUESTS OF HOTEL DALE, CAPE MAY, N. J.

MOTOR PARTY FROM VIRGINIA Last week a very interesting motor party, consisting of Dr. and Mrs. Samuel W. Chavis of Waynesboro, Va. the latter's mother, Mrs. Wm. Flack of Asheville, N. C., and Dr. and Mrs. Oscar W. Marshall of Staunton, Va. spent a few days here on route to Atlantic City and points north. They were royally entertained by Mr. and Mrs. Marion J. Chavis at their new home in Deanwood Heights, D. C.; and Prof. Blackwell of Burrville, D. C. party motored through the capital and visited the Howard Theater and other places controlled by our people. They were delighted with the city and returned to Virginia Saturday last, as compained by Miss Violet Burwell and Master Wm. Chavis. HOWARD THEATER A full house greeted the players at the Howard this week in the three-act comedy, "Stop Thief." As a fun producer it is a success. The play presents so many complications and misunderstandings, so much stealing and self accusations that they crowd on the house of each other and the house is thrown into an uproar of laughter most of the time. On the wedding day of "Madge Carr," a thief, in the person of a maid, is hired and with the aid of an outside pal, stealing begins. To prevent getting caught with the goods on them when the police is sent for the thieves hide the goods in the pockets of members of the family and guests until half of the people believe themselves to be kleptomaniacs and the other half tries to hide some supposed kleptomaniac member of the family. The "wedding finally comes off but instead of one couple, three couples are joined—the original pair, the two thieves and the doctor, a guest, the sister of the bride-to-be, a Miss Gorgas as "Madge Carr" is a new member of the company but handled her part in such a way as to give promise of making good. Miss Bowman as "Miss Carr" continues to do good work; Miss Mitchell as "Nell," the maid, is justifying the expectations of her admirers that she would develop into a first-class actress, Miss Hall as "Joan Carr" is refreshingly juvenile and puts zest into her action. She is making rapid strides upward. Brown and Thompson are, as usual, the funny pair and furnish most of the fun, "Babe" Townsend as "Doogan," the thief, continues his good work and, becoming a favorite here. Nathaniel Guy, one of the home boys, as "Dr. Willoughby" gives a fine portrayal of his part. It is to be regretted that the company is to lose one of its best actors in his leaving the company. Chas. Lane in the dual parts of the detective and as Jamison fills these two roles with credit. The others of the cast do good work. A HIT WITH VOTERS. Mr. Jackson H. Rallston, who is the democratic candidate for Congress in the Fifth Maryland District, seems to have caught the spirit of the times—highway improvements, good state roads, improved road conditions on the District line, giving the people outside the District a chance to get to the Washington markets with their products.

DEATH OF MRS. ELIZABETH G. WHITING. Mrs. Elizabeth Galloway Whiting, the widow of the late Reverend George Whiting, and one of the pioneer citizens of this city, died on Tuesday, August 29, 1916, at her residence on Ridge street northwest. The funeral was held on Sunday, September 3, at Ebenezer M. E. Church, where she had been a persistent worker for many years. Reverend Deane, the pastor, spoke eloquently on the life and work of the deceased, after which Reverend James S. Chapman, a personal friend of the family, made a few remarks. Reverend Wiseman read the scripture lesson. The church was crowded with the friends of the family, and the floral tributes, were many. Many resolutions were read from the various organizations to which Mrs. Whiting belonged. Mrs. Whiting was the mother of Mr. Ben Whiting, one of the most efficient letter carriers in the city post office. ATLANTIC CITY N.

Senators and Members of Congress Who Opposed the War Department Segregation Order and Had it Revoked. Now, it would be a good idea of those senators and members of Congress requested the revocation of segregation order In the War Department, why not request the revocation of all toilet segregation orders in every department of the government? Following are those who requested the revocation of the War Department toilet segregation order: Sen. Wm. E. Chilton of Charleston, W. Va.; Md.; Rep. Phil P. Campbell of Kansas; Sen. Atlee Bomerene of Canton, Ohio; Sen. Thos. J Taggard of Indianapolis, Ind.; and Rep. Jas. E. Martine of Plainfield, N. J. And Mr. Nathaniel Guy—Little has been ascertained by the press in these parts concerning this gentleman, excepting that he is an actor of real worth. He, more so than many other actors that we know of, gives a finished touch of naturalness to all parts which he so far been assigned to do. But the main thing is that he is the ideal type of a stage idol. He has it in his deep-set eyes, slender, but quite perfectly proportioned, figure, and in his even inflection, but commanding voice. Previous to his connection with the Lafayette stock players, we are told that Mr. Guy indulged very frequently in the art of portraying some of Shakespeare's most eminent characters before some of the highest types of colored and white audiences in Washington, D. C. And it was through this line of endeavor that he has built the enviable reputation of being classed foremost among the colored thespians playing such roles today. Some time we are going to learn more about Mr. Nathaniel Guy—and tell all we learned about him in this column. "THE SMART SET." In these up-to-date times one must be very aggressive to submit to the public something which can satisfy the most fastidious, and in booking the "Smart Set" Manager Thomas feels that he has secured a production that will more than please his patrons. This attraction is head-d by Whitney and Tutt, and has met with more than flattering receptions wherever they have appeared, and it is safe to predict that they will duplicate their success when they appear at the Howard Theatre. week of October 2. Whitney and Tutt's method of entertaining is entirely away from all others in their particular line, and the production is full of handsome creoles, smart comedians, funny situations, and the members contained in the same are conceded to be the best-dressed on the stage today. The company is composed of thirty people, among whom are the cleverest of the colored singers and dancers. In picking the chorus special attention has been paid to the voices of those engaged, so that the proper blending of same could be obtained, and has proved successful inasmuch as each member of the company has so far received very flattering receptions. With the Smart Set slapstick, comedy has been done away with and the comedy now offered contains matter that provokes nothing but hearty laughs. HILL SIDE, COTTAGE, FAIRMOUNT, MARYLAND. Mrs. Adams and her daughters gave a most delightful lawn party on the grounds of their beautiful home, Hill Side Cottage, Labor Day. The grounds were beautifully decorated with colored streamers and Chinese lanterns. It was no doubt one of the most pleasant and commanding spots in Fairmount. This beautiful cottage is at the head of Sixty-first street, with a large and well groomed lawn filled with forest trees and at the southeast end is a cool spring. Mrs. Adams and her daughters had everything nicely arranged for their guests who began to arrive about 5 o'clock and continued till 11:40 p. m. Among some of the visitors from the city were Miss F. M. Hunt, Miss Adams, Mr. W. Calvin Chase and others. Those in Fairmount were Prof.J. F. Armstrong, Messrs, S. M. Lewis, Fonville and others. Miss Agnes A. Adams rendered many musical selections. MAY TAKE ACTION AGAINST NE GRO EDITOR. Action against John Mitchell, Jr., colored, editor of the Richmond Planet, will probably follow a conference to be held tomorrow morning by Major Louis Werner, chief of police, with attorneys to whom the chief has gone to learn whether or not editorial utterances in the issue of August 26 are in violation of law, editorial in Saturday's issue of the Planet having bearing on the case of Policeman-Cullingsworth, recently discharged from the force, for conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman, have been brought also to the attention of Assistant United Staees District Attorney Hiram M. Smith, who may proceed against Mitchell for violation of postal laws prohibiting the circulation of lewd and obscene matter in the United States malls. The Planet, in its editorial and in its news columns contains indecently phrased matter which has been called to the attention of both city and federal authorities.—Richmond Virginian, Aug. 27, 1916.

Why we worship on Sunday, the first day of the week, is the subject Rev. J. D. Fortune had announced he would use for this morning's sermon, Quite a mixed congregation was on hand, some almost afraid to come, others did not come for fear something would be said to make them sorry to be so afraid, and a beautiful discourse backed up by Bible references the entire congregation seemed benefited and pleased to have been there. The weather has been ideal for the tent meeting held near the Grand Central Park for ten days under the auspices of the lodge known as Purity Tent, No. 154, composed entirely of women whose headquarters are in Norfolk, Va. An Old Folks' and Orphans' Home and a beautiful building where all the works of the Tents are carried on. The only building known of its kind owned and managed entirely by colored women. The tent in this place under the direct leadership of Mrs. Nannie Gilliam is making her influence as a religious body felt. At this annual ten-day meeting a number of worthy divines assist them. Rev. T. N. Austin of Galloway, M. E., Rev. Fortune of Mt. Salvation, Rev. M. P. Thomas, Rev. Frank William of this place and Rev. Mason of Washington, D. C. Deacon Nathaniel Jones and Church Clerk A.

WASHINGTON MEMORIAL Editor The Bee: I notice in your widely circulated journal of last week an allusion to the Booker T. Washington Memorial Association, coupled with the statement, Giles Jackson had abandoned operations in that connection. Are you not mistaken about this? Said association is duly incorporated under the laws of the District of Columbia, and among its incorporators appear the names of such widely known persons as Giles B. Jackson, Mary Church Terrell and James H. Hayes. I am informed that no proceedings are pending in courts to dissolve said incorporation. Such being the case, may not the incorporators proceed to carry out their purpose at any time? CONSTANT READER. Charlottsville, Va.: September 4, 1916. A WASHINGTON BOY Geo. M. Herrlot of this city and a graduate of the Pharmaceutical Department of Howard University, successfully passed the Indiana State Board, making the highest average of the fifty-three, all of which were white. Dr. Herrlot is a former Armstrong student and attended that institution during the principalship of Dr. Evans. DEFENDS THE COLORED SOLDIERS. Senator Thomas Taggart in the Senate of the United States. Enlistments in the Army. Mr. Taggart: My attention has been called to the bill (H. R. 17,183) to prevent the enlistment of negroes in the military service of the United States. I addressed a letter to the Secretary of War on the subject and have received a reply from him. I ask that my letter, together with the reply of the Secretary of War and the bill referred to, which is short, may be printed in the Record. The President pro tempore. With out objection, it is so ordered. out objection, it is so uttered. The matter referred to is as follows: United States Senate, Committee on Forest Reservations and the Protection of Game. August 28, 1916. Hon. Newton D. Baker, Secretary of War. Dear Mr. Secretary: My attention has been called to H. R. 17,183, introduced in the House of Representatives July 27, 1916, which I am inclosin herewith. This bill states that hereafter there the military service of the United shall not be enlisted or re-enlisted in States, either in the Army or Navy, any person, of the negro or colored race. I feel sure that this bill does not meet with the wishes of the War Department. There are several occasions that call to my mind the valor and loyalty of the negro soldiers, and only recently their bravery was shown at Carrizal, Mexico. I am opposed to this bill. Hoping to hear from your department that this bill does not meet with your approval, and with personal regards, I beg to remain. Washington, August 30, 1916. Hon. Thomas Taggart, United States Senate, My Dear Senator: I have received your letter of August 28 and read the copy of H. R. 17,183 which you inclosed. My attention had not been before called to this bill, and, so far as I know, it has not been referred to this department for opinion. The purpose of the motion is to enlist the enlistment or enlistment of people of the colored race in the military service of the United States. Any such bill would receive the disapproval and adverse recommendation of this department. Those who are familiar with the history of our country from the armies organized by George Washington in the American Revolution down to the present day know that brave and often conspicuously gallant service has been rendered by colored troops. In the most recent instance, at Carrizal, in Mexico, these colored troops conducted themselves with the greatest intrepidity, and reflected nothing but honor upon the uniform they wore. Very truly yours, A bill (H. R. 17.183) to prevent the enlistment of negroes in the military service of the United States. Be it enacted, etc. That hereafter there shall not be enlisted or re-enlisted in the military service of the United States, either in the Army or Navy, any person of the negro or colored race. Sec. 2. All laws and parts of laws in conflict herewith are hereby repealed. Company, C. L. Bonnard Schefield Barracks, H. T. August 23, 1916. To the Editor of The Bee: Dear Sir, Please find space in your valuable paper for the enclosure herewith, from a soldier of the 25th Infantry. WILLIAM. POWELL. Cook Company C, 25th Infantry. Against the Enlisted Män. Edifice, Honolulu, Star-Bulletin. Sir; I respectfully call your attention to the army regulations noted below, and also a copy of a notice recently posted at Schofield Barracks. Honolulu is talking of what to do for the soldiers. It appears to me that some one at Schofield has "got off on the wrong foot" by posting a notice and order which carries the distinct suggestion that the police authority has thrown up his hands and the greatest crime possible is to be an enlisted man in an automobile in front of the 25th Infantry officers' quarters. Army regulations carry the following: "2. Superiors are forbidden to injure those under their authority by tyrannical or capricious conduct or by abusive language. While maintaining discipline and the thorough and prompt performance of military duty, all officers, in dealing with enlisted men, will bear in mind the absolute necessity of so treating them as to preserve their self-respect. Officers will keep in as close touch as possible with the men under their command and will strive to build up such relations of confidence and sympathy as will-insure the free approach of their men to them for counsel and assistance. This relationship may be gained and maintained without relaxation of the bonds of discipline and with great benefit to the service as a whole." An extract from the "Military laws of the United States," fifth edition, 1915, third-paragraph, page 127: Extract. "The Army Regulations derive their force from the power of the President as Commander-in-Chief, and are binding upon all within the sphere of his legal and constitutional authority. * The power of the Executive to establish rules and regulations for the government of the Army is undoubted. * Such regulations can not be questioned or defined because they may be thought unwise or mistaken." Paragraph 1010, "Military Laws of the United States," fifth edition, 1915: "1010 DISCUMINATION AGA4NST PERSONS: WEARINGG UNIFORMS. Hereafter no prenitor, manager or employee of the theatre or other public place of entertainment or amusement." in the District of Columbia, or in any Territory, the District of Alaska or Insular Possession of the United States, shall make or cause to be made, any discrimination against any person lawfully weaving the uniform of the Army, Navy, Revenue Cutter Service or Marine Corps of the United States, because of that uniform, and any person making, or causing to be made, such discrimination shall be guilty of any misdemeanor, punishable by a fine not exceeding five hundred dollars." (Act of March 1, 1911, 36 Staf. 963) SHOWING THAT CONGRESS BELIEVES OUR COUNTRY'S UNIFORM "IS NOT A SOLDIER-MAN'S DISGRACE." From the foregoing one might well believe that the self-respect of our soldiers is amply safeguarding both in and out of the Army. But such is not the case, as witness the following memorandum published in the largest garrison posted in our army: Memorandum, these headquarters, August 10, 1916, is rescinded and the following substituted therefore. Until further orders vehicles of the Honolulu-Haleiwa Auto Stage Co., motorcycles, mail and delivery wagons, except the Wells-Fargo Express Company's delivery truck, automobiles, BELONGING TO ENLISTED MEN, except when occupied by an officer, a member of an officer's family or best, will not be permitted to use the road in front of the officers' quarters, 25th Infantry Cantonment. By order of Colonel GULLFOYLE: L. S. SORLEL, Major, 1st Infantry, Adjutant. It is a fact that in all probability 90 per cent of the enlisted men in Schofield Barracks have no desire to be permitted to use the road in front of the officers' quarters, 25th Infantry Cantonment. But it is also a fact that memorandum does not state that automobiles prohibited from the government road in question shall be those owned by any special class of undesirables—just groups us all under the head of enlisted men." Our crime therefore is this, we have sworn to uphold our country's honor for a period of seven years, three with the colors and four in the reserve. What can we do for a soldier? FOLLOWER OF THE FLAG HOTEL NEWS. R. DeReef. Miller. The hotels and restaurants of this city had a big increase in business, caused by the President and Congress taking a hand in the great railroad issue which has been of great importance for several weeks, and has caused the public at large to watch every movement as the battle waged between labor and capital. It is to be trusted that other presidents will follow the great example of Roosevelt and Wilson in calling such delegations to the city. Harvey's restaurant will open September 11, 1916. Many of the old crew will report for duty on the seventh. W. A. Morten, well known at the New Ebbbit as the "Western Man," was appointed head waiter at the New Amsterdam Hotel, corner of Euclid avenue and E. Twenty-second street, Cleveland, Ohio. Numbered among his crew is James T. Holmes, formerly of this city. The secret of fast service has been greatly produced by the Model Kitchen at Wannamaker's Department store in Philadelphia, where signs and signals are telling the watters where to find everything and simplifies one of the greatest problems of the day—"Breaking the new man in." Mr. Wannamaker is far ahead of many of the modern hotel restaurants for systemized service. Miss Burtus Williams, who is spending her vacation at her summer home in Rockville, Md., had as her guest for the week-end Colonel L. Myers of Ebbitt house fame. Mr. James H. Anderson, editor of the Amsterdam News, produced a great deal of pep in his vigorous campaign at Philadelphia last week at the Elks' convention as campaign manager for Armand W. Scott, the newly elected Grand Exalted Ruler. Mr. Anderson watched over his candidate as a good shepherd would his sheep. The Bee's representative had the pleasure of dining at the Road Side Hotel with both of the distinguished gentlemen and assisted in a small way in helping to bring the honors back to Washington.) The eighteenth annual session of the Grand Lodge of the I. B. P. O. Elks of the World will be held in Cleveland, Ohio, August, 1917, the city of colored hotels, cuisine and service. Booking is now going on at the New Ebbtit Hotel for waiters to serve in all dining rooms Labor Day; the Crystal Dining room will also be open for service. COMPILIMENTS TO REV. W. H. JER-NAGIN OF WASHINGTON, D. C. Former Pastor of Tabernacle Baptist Church of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. (By Capp Jefferson:) Men like you, the tried and true, we very seldom find them; Most every day men go astray, however you remind them; But one may trace you in every place, to see what you are doing; He will admit without regret your life is worth pursuing. Since you have gone to Washington, we often read about you; I now begin to ask your friends, how can they do without you? It does appear, your mission here is to get the folks together; I understand, God saw the plan and gave us pretty weather. I have not heard you say a word, but I know your ambition; It is your gift now to uplift the race when in position. You found a flaw in the Jim-Crow law and tried your best to beat it; Went into court to cut its throat, and did not get defeated. This state of ours, which has the power to ride 'er all decisions. You did predict to leave it quick, avoiding all collisions; So just for peace, you moved out east, with that self-same ambition; And now I am told, upon your soul, you took the same position. That you will fight, upholding right, defending our nation. When bad laws pop, you on them hop, or cause a great sensation. Shake hands, my friends, with Jermagin, he is the race's hero; Just treat him right or he will fight, defending every neer. ABLINGTON VA On Thursday, August 31, 1916, the A. B. S. S. U. gave their annual picnic excursion to Leesburg, Va. The day was fine and the ride a delightful one. This Sunday School organization is one of he most successfully conducted church institutions among the colored people of this section of the country. Its leading officers are Mr. N. N. Thomas, president; and Mr. H. W. Ball, secretary. Nine coaches took about 600 or more Sunday School workers, parents and children and friends up to Leesburg, Va., where the whole afternoon was most happily spent at the fair grounds there. At 4 o'clock a Sunday School mass meeting of speech making and singing was held in which the large crowd assembled took part. With President N. N. Thomas as master of ceremonies, Mr. H. W. Ball as chorister and Prof. O. G. Granderson presiding at the organ. The following speakers, Revs. Drs. J. E. Dotson, pastor of the M. E. Church, which received and entertained the A. B. S. S. U., delivering the welcome address for the churches and Sunday Schools of Leesburg, Rev. J. D. Fortune of Hall's Hill, Joseph H. Lee, pastor of Mt. Olive Baptist Church at Clark Stations, and Jas. E. Green, pastor of Mt. Zion Baptist Church at Arlington, Va., responding to the welcome address; Rev. Ammon H. Holmes, assistant to Dr. Joseph H. Lee at Mt. Olive Baptist Church, making a most fervent prayer; the meeting was great, Miss Elliza B. Wheeler, superintendent of St. Paul's S. S. of Bladensburg, Md., and vice president of the Baptist Sunday School Union of the D. C., representing that institution, and Mrs. W. H. Roberts of the Providence Baptist S. S. of Leesburg, also made very impressive remarks. Statistics of the Arlington Baptist S. S. Union were given out by Mr. Thomas, showing this organization very strong in finance. It is of five years' standing and has netted the five Sunday Schools composing it during that period over $1,000 from these excursions. HOWARD UNIVERSITY TEAM HOWARD UNIVERSITY TEAM.

The Georgetown, atlarch. 42 Lodges and mallards are preparing to entertain several visiting delegates who will be in attendance at the meeting of the B. M. C. sessions to convene in this city next week. The hall, just beautifully remodeled, will be decorated for the occasion, is situated on the corner of Twenty-eight and Dumbarton avenue, northwest. The one hundredth anniversary of Mt. Zion M. E. Church will be celebrated during the month of October. A very attractive program is now being arranged by the pastor, Rev. D. D. Witt Turpean, and a committee of one hundred to represent the anniversary of the church organization. The return of Rev. D. D. Witt Turpean, pastor of Mt. Zion M. E. Church, was the occasion of a very large congregation on Sunday during the day when he delivered two very interest- 9 ing sermons and administered holy communion to a large number of his congregation. The joint communion services of St. Paul A. M. E. and Ebenezer A. M. E. Churches on Sunday afternoon was a glowing Christian success. The sermon upon the occasion was delivered by Rev. David Johnson, the pastor of St. Paul. The services are to be continued Sunday, October 1st, at St. Paul Church. Elethr street southeast. The Georgetown Patriarch, No. 42, of the G. U. of O. F., gave a very successful outing and entertainment on Labor Day at the new Odd Fellows' hall, Twenty-eight street and Dumbarton avenue northwest. The ground were beautifully decorated with lanterns and flags and presented a beautiful appearance with the Patriarch in full dress uniforms. Mr. Charles H. Turner was the chairman. Rev. Jas. L. Pinn, who was recently elected to the pastorate of the First Baptist Church, will occupy the pulpit on Sunday during the day and it is expected that he will arrange soon to enter permanently in the work of his congregation. Mrs. Charles Gaskins of 2806 Dumbarton avenue has returned from a pleasant visit of several weeks in Virginia. BATH ITEMS, Bath, Staunton County, N. Y. September 4, '16.

Truly yours, CONHOCTON. TOBACCO KING GIVES FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS TO BUILD NECRO CHURCH. Dr. Rufa S. Stout Leading the Movement—Editor Hamlett Delivers Ground Breaking Sermon, Winston-Salem, N. C. Last Sunday was a great day in Winston-Salem; a new epoch was marked in the negro church life of the city; a new impetus was given the religious and philanthropic activities of the people. Dr. Rufus S. Stout, corresponding secretary of Church Extension of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church, came here from Pine Bluff, Arkansas, in the interest of his denomination. He spoke with such eloquence and power that he reached the hearts of the two wealthiest men in the city, Mr. R. J. Reynolds, tobacco king; and Mr. P. H. Hanes, another multi-millionaire. Col. Reynolds, after listening to this great race leader, gave him two lots worth $1,500 upon which to erect a fine C. M. E. Temple and then gave five thousand dollars to assist in the building. Dr. Stout is being praised far and wide for securing this magnificent gift from one of the wealthiest men in the south. Mr. Reynolds pays to the colored people of Winston-Salem thirty thousand dollars per week for labor in his mammouth tobacco factories. The ground breaking services for the new C. M. E. Temple were held Sunday when Rev. J. Arthur Hamlett of Jackson: Tenn., editor Christian Index, official organ of the C. M. E. Church, delivered the ground breaking sermon from the sublect, "Holy Ground." Others who spoke during the day were His Honor, the mayor Faton: Drs.

Y.—John H. Davis and Company, Bankers, 10 Wall street, New York, in their financial circular issued regularly discuss the present day tendency to regulate by law nearly every liberty of the individual. These bankers say: "It never has been our practice to discuss in these circular subjects not generally recognized as having direct bearing upon the financial and industrial situation. At this time, however, we find good reason to depart from this rule for the purpose of pointing out the dangerous and evil possibilities of the present craze that is disturbing economic and political conditions in so many parts of the country. "There is a great mass of available testimony that goes to show that in most American communities where prohibition has been put in force, its chief efforts have been to drive liquor from the open to cover, to make lawbreakers of the people and to displace the milder harmless beverages with spirits less bulky but more powerful and destructive to morals and health there are prohibition localities in amazing number where the quantity of alcoholic liquors imported is proportionately far in excess of the consumption in places where the traffic is quite free. "It is in these states that prohibition is supposed to most necessary, by reason of the extensive negro population, and yet it is the testimony of many of the most reputable southern newspapers, backed by various court records, that marked increase in crime has followed closely upon the adoption of anti-liquor laws, attributable directly to the immediate development of illicit traffic. In such localities, as everywhere in dry territory, the closing of the openly conducted shop and bar has meant the multiplication of the secret still, the prompt appearance of the "bottleger" and the opening of the illegal den with all its vicious features. It is the admission of many employers of labor, especially in mining, lumbering and kindred industries, that whereas prohibition seemed desirable before it was enforced, its result has been increased by drunkenness and greater loss of efficiency, this by reason of the use of secretly purchased and quickly consumed liquor, of far greater stupefying and poisoning power than that which was available when the traffic was open."

Bringing Negro Laborers—Pennsyl- Railroad Officials Seek Men in the South for Unskilled Work. Philadelphia, Pa.—More than 5,000 negroes from Georgia and other southern states have been brought to this city within the past few weeks by the Pennsylvania railroad officials in an effort to solve the labor problem. Two thousand men arrived last week and are being subjected to the physical examination required by the rules of the road. Most of them will be put to work on the Pennsylvania grain elevator of Girard Point. Agents of the railroad have been at work in various southern cities more than a month and all have had trouble with the authorities, most of which is cleared up, according to offi clals of the road here. These agents have been hiring negroes ranging in age from sixteen to sixty years for unskilled work, offering them $1.50 to $3 a day. DURHAM, N. C import enough men for the immediate need. In the first batch brought from the south about a month ago, 200 or 300 men secured through southern employment agencies, quit their jobs within a few weeks. These men were employed on improvement and construction work within a radius of ten miles of Philadelphia, and according to the railroad officials, left to accept jobs with contractors or around munitions plants. It is hoped that the others now being brought in will realize the great opportunity given them and that they will "stay on the job," instead of quitting as soon as they get a little money ahead.

It is rumored that a white stock company will invade this city with colored players, to put our young and enterprising friend Andrew J. Thomas, the proprietor and manager of the Howard Theatre out of business. This is this one opportunity the people in this city will have to show their gratitude. The St. Lukes, Howard University, Odd Fellows, Masons, and the one hundred thousand people in general to whom Mr. Thomas has been so liberal since he has had charge of this theatre. Now we are to ourselves and yet the white invaders are not happy. Mr. Thomas has made the Howard theatre a success. White men with thousands of dollars behind it have failed and Mr. Thomas with a small capital, push and enterprise has given the colored people in this city an amusement house and high class dramas that no other city outside of New York and Chicago can secure. The colored people in this city, if the Bee is not mistaken will permit a class of speculators to put up a "Jim Crow" theatre with colored players to force them out of their money and put out of business a young man who has given colored talent throughout the county an opportunity to convince the prejudiced white man that there are great possibilities in the colored Americans. The people will stand by Howard and rally to its support. MR. HUGHES EXPLICIT. Speaking to an audience of 2,000 Negroes at Hadly Park Nashville, Tennessee, on Labor Day, Mr. Hughes, the Republican candidate for President said: "We want honesty with respect to the ballot. I say to you that I stand, if I stand for anything, for the equal and exact justice to all. I stand for the maintenance of the rights of all American citizens regardless of race or color." This is traditional Republican doctrine, and it is distinctly heartening that the candidate of this year is in line with the time honored attitude of the party as to equal and exact justice for all "regardless of race or color." This utterance will do much to give hope and assurance to the Negro who is by nature and practice a Republican. The statement of position as to the matters with which it deals is satisfactory, and The Bee commends it to the consideration of its readers. SEGREGATION ORDER RECINDED. Information to this office from a representative in the War Department, to the effect that its recent toilet segregation order has been recinded. This order was revoked at the request of Senator Martine, of New Jersey. It will be remembered, that a successor to Senator Martine, is to be elected from the state of New Jersey and Mr. Martine's interest is personal and not from a just or human point of view. RACE CONFERENCE. Everybody should attend the race conference. Over 36 states will be represented. September 14th and 15th age the dates for the great conference. BISHOP WALTERS' WIFE GETS POLITICAL POSITION. Mrs. Lolia Walters, wife of Bishop Alexander Walters has been appointed a clerk in the office of the Commissioner of Immigration at Ellis Island at a salary of $11 a month. In naming Mrs. Walters for the place President Wilson is said to have issued an executive order. The apointee, therefore, did not find it necessary to go through the usual lengthy routine prescribed by civil service. —New York Age PUBLIC MEN AND THINS (By the Sage of the Potomac.) Some few weeks ago I promised to call your attention to the shams of Washington. This city is the hot bed for shams and fakers, social, commercial and political. The more you can sham it in this city the more you are respected. The social shams are fakers. They attempt to run what we call the colored society. They imagine that they are better than everybody else, but in fact, they are the biggest of hypocrites in the city. Our shams in the city, as I remarked a few moments ago, are social jokers. They more to say against respectability than any other class of people. They abuse others to hide their own villainy. Social shams have lots to say against your daughters who work for an honest living. The honest working girl is more abused by shams than by any other class of individuals. Of all the shams the social shams are the greatest impediments to society. They have a little clique to themselves and attempt to promulgate a code of morals by which others are to be governed and they are the first to disregard and repudiate their own code. They have a code to govern and control outsiders, and another to protect themselves. Their code is give a dance at the home of one of the shams; all are pledged to secrecy. They wear a false face at night which hides their identity. Those who are too black to be white in the day time and too white to be black at night, meet upon a common level. When there is an upheaval you will see these shams fall like "Lucifer." Now, these social shams always crave to take a front seat on all public occasions and be masters and mistresses in all enterprises. They have to bridle their tongues when they are slashing the moral records of reputable working girls. You will be surprised when these records shall be open for inspection. They condemn others of which they are guilty and continue to practice. Our Board of Commissioners intend putting a quietus on all social shams. Speaking about shams in politics, they are on a par with the social shams. When you see a social sham in this city you will see a political sham. If you noticed the recent election of delegates to the last national republican convention, you would have seen the social and political shams of all grades and professions working for one common cause, the filthy lucre. Men and women of the high sham class were purchased as cheaply and easily as you could purchase a sardine at an Italian lunch counter. Many of them are still holding out their mit for back pay. I have failed to mention the religious shams who took part in the election. So crowded were some of them for money, why they sold their churches or space in their church auditoriums. A few negro preachers were as easy to purchase as a pot house politician. The shams of Washington are many. You should never be surprised at these shams. They are liable to do anything and do everybody. Senator Martin of New Jersey has just had the segregation order in the War Department revoked. Is this only to last until the election, or is it to continue? Just why these democrats will continue to make so many blunders, I am unable to state. Senator Taggart has just placed himself on record against the wild game bill that was offered in the House by the statesman without a record. Now, if you will look in the Congressional Record you will see that this Arkansas gentleman is without a record. He belongs to the political sham class. FALLS CHURCH, VA., NOTES.

St. Paul.—There are few men who can challenge successfully the fore-sight of the late James J. Hill, but Captain Jerry Turner of Lansing, Ia., who visited St. Paul for the first time in fifty-two years the other day, is one of them. Captain Turner relates how he overheard Mr. Hill make the assertion that St. Paul never would remain long as the head, of navigation on the upper Mississippi, and that was more than a half century ago. "I was then plying the upper Mississippi on the steamer City Belle," Captain Turner said. "Mr. Hill, who at that time was clerkling on the wharf, was aboard the boat discussing prospects with the captain. "Wacouta is the logical head of navigation on the Mississippi." Mr. Hill said. "St. Paul cannot long retain the distinction for this reason. Just as soon as the farm lands on the upper Mississippi are well under cultivation the upper channel is bound to fill up, and boats of any consequence will be unable to ply that far north."

Central Empires Have 10,600,000 Trained Men to Protect Line Which Has Stretched to 2,640 Miles by Stroke of a Pen, While Allies Have 23,950,000. Bukharest.—By a stroke of the pen King Ferdinand of Roumania has added nearly 900 miles to the fronts in Europe, now defended by the central empires—500 in the west, 785 in the east, 315 facing, the Italians and 160 miles at Saloniki-making 1,760 miles. The 895 miles the king has added consist of the 620 miles of the Transylvanian Alps, the seventy-five miles bordering on Servia and 300 miles on Bulgaria. Available for these fronts in trained men the central empires have 10,600,000 men and the allies 23,300,000. M. Photo by American Press Association. KING FERDINAND OF ROUMANIA. To the latter the king of Roumania has just added 650,000, capable of being raised to 900,000. This is the first general strategic importance of Roumania's co-operation. The second is local. According to recent advices sent from here, censored and uncensored, a Russian army of 80,000 men has been concentrated at the Danube for months near Galatz and near the Yassy-Unghen railway in Bessarabia waiting for King Ferdinand's declaration in order to ascend the river and descend the railway into Bulgaria via Giurgevo and Turnu-Marche. It has also been disclosed that the great, Hungarian concentration camp at Hermannstadt, just over the Alps on the river Alvta, has prepared for the eventuality of Roumania's advent. Besides, the first conflicts between the troops of Roumania and those of the central empires have taken place on the Transylvania border. RETURNS $15 STOLEN FARES. Bankrupt Trolley Company Is Made Richer by Man's Conscience. Atlantic City, N. J. — Conscience stricken over the theft of $15 from the local trolley company by which he was employed as a conductor three years ago and learning recently that the company had been forced into the hands of a receiver through jitney competition, a Philadelphia signing himself "Conscience" returned the sum by mall. With the cash was a note reading: "Inclosed please find $15 which I took by failing to register fares while in your employ two years ago. I have just heard that your company is going into bankruptcy and I want to return the money with sorrow for mv action." 400 REDHEADS FORM LEAGUE. Fiery Locks Are the Only Requirement For Membership. Indianapolis.—Four hundred "red-heads" from Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Michigan and Illinois held their first reunion here recently and organized the Redhead League of America. The next reunion will be held here in August, 1917, the league decided. Leon Louis of Anderson, Ind., was elected president. The only requirement for membership is that one must have red hair. Princeton, Ind.—Fred Newsom, reading a book beside an open window in his home, four blocks from the public square, the other night, was startled when he looked up and found a big wildcat with his paws on the window sill looking at him. Newsom jumped back and gave the alarm, which resulted in the animal's death at the hands of a band of armed citizens. The wildcat was found to be the property of Thomas Bruce, from whom it had escaped after a captivity of a year. Finda White Blue Jay Junction City, Kan.—An albino blue jay, the first one ever seen here, was found recently in the Presbyterian churchyard by A. W. Davy. The blue jay was half grown and its feathers were perfectly white. Its unusual color had apparently not discredited the albino in the eyes of the parent birds, for it was fat and gave indications of having been well cared for. Ridgway, Pa.—Patrick Deering was carried in an ambulance to a hospital recently, while by his side lay the cause of his troubles, the biggest trout ever seen in this vicinity. Pat was in sore need of treatment for a dent in his head, while his companion in distress, the trout, was to be treated as food for the hospital patients. Patrick while diving in Laurel mill pool collided with the big trout. The fish, stunned by the blow, immediately rose to the surface and was captured by other swimmers. Pat, sorely hurt, was pulled from the water. Vest Which Contained Life's Savings Was About to Go Into Bedford, Pa.—Twelve thousand three hundred and six dollars, the savings of a lifetime, which Tony Colombo of the east side, New York, had sewed in his vest, were saved from a blazing furnace in a local hotel by a narrow margin. George Regoveri, cellist in the orchestra at the hotel, while motoring noticed a hobo pick a piece of bread from the ground where a picnic had been held several days ago. Regoveri took the man in his car and carried him back to the hotel. In the servanta' quarters he was bathed, given a new suit of clothing and then a meal. Later he started on his way to New York. He had been gone only a short time when he returned hastily, crying that his savings of a lifetime were sewed in the old vest, which he had discarded and which the management of the hotel had ordered consigned to the furnace. A hasty search was made and the money was found, as Colombo said. WILSON GIVES WIDOW A JOB. Husband Slain on, Duty, Woman Ex- empt From P. O. Examination. Little Rock, Ark.-President. Wilson has swept aside red tape and issued an executive order granting Mrs. Myrtle M. Davis of England, Ark., a position in any postoffice in Arkansas without taking an examination. Mrs. Davis' husband, Edward A. Davis, a rural carrier, was killed while on duty June 10. Steve Ashcraft, living near England, jealous of his wife, from whom he was separated, it is said, had ordered Davis not to deliver any mail to Mrs. Ashcraft. Davis explained that he must perform his duties and continued to deliver mail to the woman. He was shot and killed, and Ashcraft is under arrest charged with his murder. DOCTOR FLIES TO SEE PATIENT Hydroaeroplane Carries Physician and Wife Across Bay. New York-To reach a patient on Fire island Dr. George S. King of Bay Shore, N. Y., used a flying boat recently to hurry across Great South bay. No sailbont was available. Dr. King took his wife along. The six and one-half mile trip consumed only seven minutes. The operator of the hydraeroplane landed near shore and carried the passengers to land. While the doctor was attending to his patient Mrs. King took a trip of her own in the airboat, circling Fire island light several hundred feet in the air and flying out over the ocean. ELUDED POLICE FOR 44 YEARS. Only After Visit to Old Home Was Accused Slayer Caught. Asheville, N. C.—After eluding the authorities for forty-four years, Andrew Wise, a white man wanted for killing a constable in Buncombe county, has been arrested in Williamson, W. Va. He was caught immediately after the killing, but escaped while on the way to fail. He was not heard from again until last April, when he made a brief visit to the county, but left before the sheriff was notified. After a four months' search he was found in Williamson. Parents of Twins Adopt Twins. Seattle.—Already the parents of twin boys, ten years old, Mr. and Mrs. Fred J. Hawley of 5510 Twenty-sixth avenue, Northeast, adopted by decree of Judge Everett Smith in the superior court Mary, and Margaret 'Erickson, twin girls, sixteen months old. Judge Milo Root told the court that the twin girls' parents formerly lived in Spokane and that the little ones had been formally given into custody of the Washington Children's home here by the Spokane authorities. They have been living at the Hawley home five months. Bees Blind Auto Driver. Fostoria, O.—A swarm of bees buzzed into an auto truck owned by an advertising company of this city, surrounded the driver, Clarence Ruch, blinding him to such an extent that he sent the truck into a ditch. The driver and a man who was with him were uninjured, but the truck was badly damaged and had to be towed later to Fostoria. RULER "ON TRUST" RULER "ON TRUST" Argentina's President to Be Had No Platform. KNOWN ONLY AS A RADICAL Hipolito Irigoyen Overthrew the Conservatives and Will Make His Pledges as He Goss—No One Can Guess What He Intends to Do. Buenos Aires.—When Hipolito Irigoyen takes the oath of office Oct. 12 as president of Argentina his country will start on one of the biggest experiments ever undertaken by a republic. Dr. Irigoyen will head the first Radical administration in Argentina. What the doctor's ideal of "radicalism" is nobody knows. He has made no speeches. He has written almost nothing. He has never defined his position. What he intends to do as president not one of his countrymen can guess. Nobody knows whether he is pan-American. The Radical party was organized in Argentina to fight for fair elections. It has never had any other platform. "We have ideals," leading members of the party say, "but no program." There were even reports that Dr. Irigoyen will issue a manifesto soon dissolving the party itself now that an honest ballot, as he is said to believe, has been guaranteed. This, however, is mere surmise. The doctor was elected president be cause a majority of the voters trusted him, personally, implicitly and blindly. Those who believe in him consider him Argentina's greatest man. His opponents regard him as extremely dangerous and look forward to his administration with the gravest misgivings. Dr. Irigoyen is about sixty, a tall, powerfully built, imposing man and very dark. His blood is Spanish Basque, with a slight Indian strain. some say. The new president began life poor. He is self educated and a highly cultivated man. He is now rich, the result of land transactions. By occupation he is a ranchman on a huge scale, with a very modest residence in Buenos Aires. From the moment of his election he secluded himself in his town house. No politicians were admitted. He received no office seekers. He refused to make any promises. He has listened to no suggestions. His house is without a telephone, and he has answered no letters. Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo, a visitor in Argentina, was one of those who wanted to see him. Irigoyen sent out word that he was ill. MADE 172,000,030,000 STAMPS DID RIGHT TO SPANK WIFE. Magistrate Gives Husband Liberty When He Hears Story. New York.--There is no great harm in a husband spanking his wife when she slaps his face because he wanted to caress her, in the opinion of Magistrate Steers of Brooklyn. He discharged Charles Becker, charged by his wife with assault, after hearing the story. Mrs. Katherine Becker told the magistrate that after an argument Becker spanked her. Becker admitted he had done so, but he said when he wanted to caress his wife she drew away and slapped him across the face. Whereupon he put her over his knees and spanked her. LOST BOY UNDER BED. Two-year-old Finally Found Asleep at Home After Long Search. Marysville, O.-William Reed, two-year-old son of Edward Reed, took his baby sister's bottle of milk and crawled under the bed to drink it. He fell asleep. Later the parents, missing him, got the neighborhood out to search for the boy. Several motorcars went out hunting him. Three hours later he was found smoozing soundly under the bed. Tradition Turned Topsy Turvy. Stevens Point, Wls.—"Keep on the Gruss" is the unusual sign to be seen in front of two Stevens Point residences. It sounds a little like turning tradition toopsy turvy, but the explanation is simple. The streets were given a thick coating of oil and pedestrians tracked it wherever they went. Two property owners did not wish their new concrete walks mussed, so fenced them off and tacked up signs. Lake Emptied For Ring. Kansas City, Mo.-A lake in a city park here was drained of more than 500,000 gallons of water the other day to recover a wedding ring lost there by Mrs. Hugh Foster. Several days ago while skipping stones across the surface of the water she lost her ring off her finger.

Detroit.—Establishment of a school for teaching girls motherhood is provided in the will of Mrs. Lizzie Merrill Palmer, widow of Senator Thomas W. Palmer, recently filed for probate in Detroit. The amount for the school is not designated, but it is the residue of Mrs. Palmer's estate. Probate officials believe that the legacy will amount to approximately -$1,000,000. The will provides that girls who are unable or unwilling to pay the cost of their board at the school shall be educated free of charge. BOOM TOWN, BUT STILL THERE'S NO JAG LIST BOOM TOWN, BUT STILL THERE'S NO JAG LIST Augusta, Kan.—Makers of boom towns always have to have something to drink. And with Kansas a prohibition state, the men who have flocked here in connection with the oil developments have turned to soft drinks. With temperatures around 100 for six weeks the local drug stores found the demand for iceed drinks so great that they are moving out their old drug store fixtures to make room for more fountains, more tables and more booths. Two and three "soda squirls" are on duty in each place each day and at night their forces are more than doubled. "You got to stand in line half an hour at night to get a drink," explained one hotel clerk. Some of the fountains are fixed up like real bars—brass rail, frosted mirrors and booths along the walls. It's all there except the drunks. "Augusta is as peaceful as any village. The lid is on tight." this same hotel clerk confided. "and every arrest means a conviction with a regular fine." "SAY SQUIRREL," A SPY TEST. Mural Painter Tells How English Captures at Holyhead Freed Him. New York.—J. J. A. Murphy, a mural painter who has been four years in England engaged in panel work, is this country to execute some decorative work in Boston. Mr. Murphy said that crossing over to Ireland was a trying experience on account of the fear by the government officials. At Holyhead he was arrested as a German spy and for three hours had to stand upon the stone pier with bayonets pressed lightly against his chest while two English officers put him through a severe examination. Finally one of the officers said to him, "Say squirrel." Mr. Murphy obeyed the request, and the senior officer then said to him, "You are free." When he asked what the word squirrel had to do with his being suspected as a spy the officer replied, "A German can't say squirrel." HEALTH MOVIES POPULAR. Outfit of North Carolina Board of Health Is In Demand. Raleigh, N. C.—The moving picture outfit of the state board of health has struck a pleasant chord with the people. While the outfit was in use in Union county Anson county made application for a three weeks' engagement, which was granted. The pictures are shown in connection with the anti-typhoid campaign now on, and both features of health work are being well received. While health moving pictures are more or less a new feature of health educational work, they are meeting the same popularity that the regular movies have always met and are in demand wherever their worth and popularity are known. Already the counties of Wake, Johnson and Alamance have had the use of the pictures. ROBBED FRIEND YEARS AGO Wichita (Kan.) Banker Hears From Man Whom He Never Suspected. Wichita, Kan.--Thirty-six years ago A. J. Hargis, vice president of the Security State bank of this city; spent the night in a Medicine Lodge hotel with a young friend who had come west with him to make a fortune. In the night their room was entered, and Hargis was minus $14 in the morning. He had forgotten the incident, becoming wealthy in the meantime, but the other day a letter came from the former bed mate telling him that his conscience would no longer permit him to live in peace until he had confessed that he was the robber. The letter stated that the writer didn't have the $14 handy now, but would send it soon. MOTHER AND DAUGHTER WED And Each Acted as Matron of Honor For the Other. Millwaukee. Wis.—Mother was matron of honor for her daughter, and then daughter reclocated at Waukegan, according to announcement made here by the family of Mrs. Annetta Zerwis. Mrs. Zerwis was married to William H. Allen of Watertown, N. X., by Justice J. V. Balz, and then the justice performed the other ceremony which united Miss Uceba Muriel Zerwis to William L. McGlynn of Seattle. CZAR PICKS SON. Appointed Honorary Head of Corps of Naval Cadets. DISPLAYING HIS PHOTOGRAPH Picture Shows a Striking Figure of Intelligence and Reminds People of Ancient but Ever New-Policy That Empire Desires to Become Sea Power. The heir to the Russian throne, the twelve-year-old Grand Duke Alexis, has received from his father, the czar, the appointment of honorary head of the corps of naval cadets. His photograph in the uniform of the imperial navy is being displayed conspicuously in the shop windows of Petrograd, Moscow, Odessa and Kieff. It is a strikingly handsome figure, the face full of intelligence and charm, appealing to the imagination of the people and reminding them of the ancient but ever new policy of the autocrat of all the Russians that the empire must become a great maritime power. Nicholas II. has proclaimed on various occasions that he desires to go down in history as the creator of Rus- Photo by American Press Association. GRAND DUKE ALEXIS. slays modern navy. In other years his ambition in this direction has been traced directly to the influence of Emperor William of Germany, for whom it is well known the earl entertained profound admiration. As a matter of government policy, however, the building up of a strong Russian navy is independent of the earl's initiative or his friendship with other rulers. To free the landlocked empire and give it access to the seas is to make Russia truly great. Without sea power and seaports the empire can never attain equal dignity among the other great world powers. Russians believe. HIS VOW OF 1876 KEPT, Missing, His Fortune Made, Writes Home at Last. New York.—Hugh Kelly, then fifteen years old, left his mother's home in Flushing in 1870 with a vow that he never would be heard from again until he made his fortune in the west. He made good his vow. His mother died two years ago, believing her son dead. But Thomas Kelly of 31 Fowler street. Flushing, received a letter recently from Hugh, who is in Fresno, Cal., well to do and happy, but concerned at last about his family and his old friends. The letter appeared just as the executors of his mother's estate were preparing to serve notice upon him by publication that the estate was about to be settled. LOSES HIMSELF AT CONEY. Many Hours In First Bathing Suit Till Friends Call on New York Police. New York.—Among the thousands who went bathing at Coney Island recently was one, who never had seen salt water before and was not sure whether he ever wants to try it again. He is Ralph Fagin of Milwaukee. He has friends occupying a bungalow at the island, and when he arrived there they fitted him with a bathing suit. At sunset he started back for friends and supper, but could find neither. He went to a police station, where after many hours his anxious friends appeared. NEW U. S. RAINFALL RECORD. 22.22 Inches Fell at Alta Pass, N. C., in Twenty-four Hours. Raleigh, N. C.—A new rainfall record for the United States was established when 22.22 inches of rain fell at Alta Pass, in Mitchell county, during twenty-four hours recently. Lee A. Denson, section director here of the weather bureau, so announced. Alexandria, La., previously led the country with 21.4 inches rainfall in a similar period. Mitchell county, in the western part of the state, was hard hit, and at Alta Pass eleven persons were reported to have lost their lives by the flood. ARREST OF ST. FAUL Acts 21:27-30—Sept. 10. Returning From the Apostle's Third Missionary Tour—The Missionaries Cordially Received by the Church at Jerusalem—Concession to Prejudice Unsuccessful—St. Paul In Danger From Mob Violence—The Roman Garrison From Fortress Antonia Called Out—Christ's Ambassador Made Prisoner—Suffering For Christ. "Thou shalt be a witness for Him unto all men of what thou host, seen and heard."—Acts 22:15. companions arrived at Jerusalem, he was returning from his third missionary tour amongst the Gentiles. On his way to Jerusalem the Lord had permitted forewarnings to reach him, informing him that he might expect trouble—bonds and imprisonment—in the Holy City. Undeterred, however, this noble ambassador for Christ, arrived there, bringing with him money collections from the Churches of Asia Minor and Greece for the Church at Jerusalem, which apparently was in a measure of financial distress. Their reception on their arrival was of a private character, and they had further manifestations of the same loving brotherhood noted in our study for August 27. On the following day, which probably was Pentecost (Acts 20:10), the Church was called together to receive the Apostle and his companions in a more formal manner. St James the further manifestations of the same loving brotherhood noted in our study for August 27. On the following day, which probably was Pentecost (Acts 20:16), the Church was called together to receive the Apostle and his companions in a more formal manner. St. James the Less was apparently the recognized leader in the Jerusalem Church. St. Paul recounted his experiences during his third missionary tour and the Lord's blessing upon his ministrations of the Truth, notwithstanding the tribulations permitted. Probably he turned over the collections from the Gentile brethren at the same time. The brief record indicates that the brethren at Jerusalem were considerably perturbed by St. Paul's presence. Not merely old they fear for his personal safety, but they were alarmed lest his coming might stir up persecution against them all; for the Apostle's activity made him well known to the Jews in the influential part of the world in which he had labored. St. James and his associates realized that in all probability there might be present at the Pentecostal feast Jews from those quarters. They knew that St. Paul's activities had already been reported; and that some, even of the Hebrew Christians, were troubled at his reported teachings that the Law was dead and that no one was obligated to pay any further attention to it. Therefore the brethren urged St. Paul to contradict these partial misconceptions by entering the Temple and associating with some brethren who had taken the Nazarite Vow. (Numbers 6:1-21). They did not suggest that he take this vow, but that he be present with these brethren, in recognition of what they did; and that he bear their expenses, which included the shaving of their heads, the burning of the hair, and the cost of sacrificing for them four animals each. St. Paul's Conduct Misunderstood. While St. James and the leaders of the Church evidently understood St. Paul's position, yet apparently they did not grasp so clearly as did he the fact that "the middle wall of partition" between Jew and Gentile was completely broken down, and that the Law was merely a pedagogue, designed to lead to the School of Christ. St. Paul taught that the Law could save neither Jew nor Gentile; that only faith in Christ could bring the soul into relationship to God; and that while certain blessings still remained for the Jews, yet during this Gospel Age God is selecting a Spiritual Seed of Abraham from both Jews and Gentiles; and that any attempt to keep the Law with a view to meriting eternal life would surely fall.-Romans 3:20-31; Ephesians 3:1-7; Gal. 3:8, 16, 29. Nothing in this, however, really interfered with St. Paul's doing just what the Elders' at Jerusalem urged at Jerusalem urged him to do for the men under the Nazarite Vow. Nevertheless, in our judgment, a more courageous course might have been pursued. Apparently the very method taken to ward off public opposition merely aroused it. When the seven days were nearly him to do for the men under the Nazarite Vow. Nevertheless, in our judgment a more courageous course might have been pursued. Apparently the very method taken to ward off public opposition merely aroused it. When the seven days were nearly expired, the Apostle was recognized by Jews from Asia. Having seen him with Trophimus, a Greek from Ephesus, they jumped to the conclusion that the latter was one of the four men whose head was shaved. From the Jewish standpoint this would have been a grievous offense; for only Jews were permitted to come within the Temple precincts. At the cry that the Temple was being profaned, a mob speedily gathered and dragged the Apostle out of the office. While they were beating him, seeking to kill him, the chief captain of the Roman garrison of the Castle of Antonia, close by the Temple, hurried to the scene with a company of soldiers. The Apostle was taken to the castle. But the mob made a mad push to get him, from the soldiers or to kill him ourright. LOVE VS. FEAR AS CONSTRAINING POWER The Chain With Which Saton Binds Millions to Keep Them From God. Whole World In Bondage to Fear-All Nations More or Less Dominated by Evil Spirits-Gods and Demigods of Mythology-Bible Teaching on This Subject-Love, Not Fear, the Drawing Power-Bible Alone Presents a God of Love-Bible Long Misunderstood Through Satan's. Scheming New Being Seen In All Its Beauty. PASTOR RUSSELL New York City, Sept. 8. — Pastor Russell gave a very able discourse this evening to a large and attentive audience at the New York City, Temple, W. 03d St., near Broadway. His text was 2 Timothy 1:7 — "God bath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." As far as the speaker can discern, the whole world is dominated by the spirit of fear, which seems to be the Adversary's means for deluding mankind and keeping them away from God. This we see amongst the heathen, who are largely under the control of Satan and the evil spirits. The gods and demigods of mythology were undoubtedly the fallen angels and their progeny. (Genesis 6:14; Lervius 17:7; Deuteronomy 32:17; Psalm 100:34:38; 1 Corinthians 10:20-22.) The Scriptures abound in references to the evil work of the demons. Many professed Christians are deluded by these spirits, because of neglect of the teachings and warnings of the Bible. This spirit of fear, the Pastor declared, together with the worldly ambitions of religious leaders, brought on the Dark Ages. Fear was used as a lash to drive people into the churches in an effort to convert the world. Blasphemous doctrines, grossly misrepresenting our loving Creator, were foisted upon the people to frighten them into subservience. Satan and his demon hosts were the real instigators of this condition, according to God's Word. But fear cannot bring men to God. The most it can do is to cause its victims to make an outward profession which belies their heart sentiments. History proves unmistakably that the blasphemous doctrine of endless torture has utterly failed to bring men to God: The most hardened criminals are generally those who have been taught this doctrine. The great mass of the careless, the indifferent, the morally lax, have been thus indoctrinated from childhood. It is not God's design to draw any to Himself by such methods. Heathen Driven Away From God. The Truth has a drawing and sanctifying power that nothing else can have. If the world were not under the blinding influence of "the god of this world," Satan, all mankind would be captivated by the Truth. But Satan does not wish the light of God's goodness to shine into men's hearts. Consequently he has endowed to cause people to think of their Creator as the greatest Demon imaginable. No man, however deprived, would commit the devilish deeds that are attributed to God. Any being that would torture billions throughout eternity would be a Devil of the blackest dye. These blasphemous teachings have caused the majority to immerse themselves in pleasure-seeking, in business—almost anything rather than to think of their Creator. The eternal torment theory has been Satan's most successful device for binding people from loving our God. Even the heathen naturally wish to find their Maker. (Acts 17.22-28). But when missionaries are sent to teach them such terrible misrepresentations of His character, the heathen are repelled. Consequently little has been accomplished in leading them to Christ. Some years ago, when travelling in India, the Pastor met some intelligent natives who frankly told him that they considered their own gods superior to the Christian God, and that they could not worship a God who had damned all their forefathers to eternal torment. He apologized to them, telling them that they were quite right, but that they had been misinformed respecting the character of the God of the Bible. While there, he learned that practically the only natives who profess Christianity are what are known as "rice Christians"—poor creatures who attend whichever mission promises them the most rice. It was not the Message which drew them, but the material benefits expected. The work of the Gospel Age has not been that of converting the world, but merely the selecting of the Church from the world. (Acts 15:13-18.) Present adverse conditions in the world are most favorable to the training of this class, who during the incoming Age are to be used of Jehovah, in association with their Head, Christ Jesus, to bless all mankind by instructing them in the Love, of God, shown in His provision for their salvation and uplift through the Atonement work of their Redeemer. Then the world will be delivered from slavish fear.
