Washington Bee

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 WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1916 VOL. XXXVII, NO. 21 FUNERAL SERVICES Dr. R. C Richardson. Organizes the People's Service Corporation—A Great Aid to the Masses Dr. R. C. Richardson, no doubt one of the most successful business men in this city, has organized what will be known as the People's Funeral Service Corporation. Before stating the object of this corporation The Bee will tell its readers who Dr. Richardson is. His first career was that of a preacher in which capacity he was a success. He subsequently delivered religious illustrative lectures in moving pictures in which capacity he accumulated quite a fortune. His wife, Mrs. M. J. Richardson, a most accomplished elocutionist, gave readings in connection with his lectures and today they are the owners of the largest apartment house, by colored people, in this city, and equal to many owned and conducted by white people, situated at the corner of R and Vermont avenue and Twelfth streets northwest besides other valuable properties. Dr. Richardson attended the Rodger Williams and Alberta, Ga., Universities for a while and after a successful preacher he came to this city about eighteen years ago, where he became acquainted with and married his president wife. He is a thorough business man and honest in his dealings with his fellow men. This new enterprise will no doubt be a great benefit to the poor people. The corporation is to be known as the People's Funeral Service, and is incorporated under the laws of the District of Columbia. The officers and directors of the corporation are of the highest integrity as follows: Officers: R. C. Richardson, president; G. M. Oliver, vice president; Mary J. Hall, secretary; C. H. Stepteau, corresponding secretary; John Lewis, treasurer. Members: Walter Dorsey, Greenwood Washington, C. H. Stockton, R. W. Williamson, George Brown, Mae J. Richardson, Henry W. Hall, Theodore Williams. The name of our company indicates the particular field of our operations, and, in some measure, the scope. But for clearness it is well to say that this company will engage in all branches of the undertaking business, including manufacturer and distributor of all manner of funeral accessories, embalmer, funeral director, and funeral liverman. It is our object to make this company a company of the people and for the people, to the end that we may serve them adequately and well in their time of need and that we may benefit them financially as interested parties. In this way the idea is of mutual helpfulness. The purposes of the company are fourfold: First: To insure or guarantee for its members a proper burial. When you have bought preferred stock, the company will allow you the full face value of that stock at any time in payment of funeral services rendered by the company. Second: To induce its members to save, and thus prepare for the laying away of themselves or their loved ones with such ceremony as they desire and can afford. Third: To decrease the cost of funeral service to members by increasing the volume of business done and thereby putting the company on an efficient basis. Fourth: To afford a safe and profitable investment. Being a stock company the members will share in the profits. Location. The company will be housed in spacious and suitable quarters, which are now being remodeled especially for it, located at the prominent corner of Vermont avenue and R street northwest. Washington, D. C., and will be equipped with all the modern appliances for carrying on its business in the most up-to-date manner. It will maintain, in addition, its own automobiles and all other liveries for conducting funerals, and this will enable it to do business in all sections of the city and outlying districts. city and state. The officers of the company have been chosen from men of standing in the community, and of proved integrity and ability. The Treasurer will be under bond to protect the company. The persevered stock is non-cumulative, but dividends paid on it will be at six per cent. This stock is redeemable by the company, at the option of the holder, at any time, in payment of funeral services, rendered by the company. The common stock is not redeemable. The dividend on this stock will be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors according to the earnings of the company. CASH OR PART PAYMENT. All stock for which cash is paid will be issued and delivered at once. The certificates can be made to cover single shares or blocks of any number desired. disease. Subscriptions will be received from parties properly-vouched for upon the partial payment plan, receipts to be given for the payments until the total amount of the subscription is paid, when the certificate will be issued. Subscriptions may be for any number of shares from one up. It will be seen that under the above plan a way is open for those of limited income to subscribe for and become owners of stock in this company, thus encouraging the practice of economy as well as placing the funds where they will yield good returns. There is a limited amount of stock as yet unsubscribed. Applications for shares in the People's Funeral Service Corporation may be made to any of the Directors or Advisory Board, or at the temporary office of the company. pany. The right to accept or reject any or all applications is hereby reserved. If you wish to subscribe, do it now, before the company opens its doors for business. ADVISORY BOARD. Shares Each: W. O.

Mr. Roy Taylor, the beloved husband of Lucy Taylor, departed this life December 1, 1916, at his residence, F street, Fredericksburg, Virginia. Mr. Taylor leaves behind a wife, two brothers, several nephews and neices and a host of friends to mourn their loss. The funeral took place at the Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Fredericksburg, Va. 3 p. m., December 3, 1916. A very large congregation gathered, to pay the last tribute of respect to one whom they had learned to love and honor. Pastor Daniel L. Reed preached the funeral. After paying a glowing tribute to the four cardinal virtues of the deceased, Dr. Reed selected for the basis of his remarks the very appropriate text, Job 14:10, "But man dieth and wasteth away, yea he give up the ghost, and where is he." Less than 30 minutes an excellent seremon was preached. It was eloquent and cutting, enthusiastic and instructive. The sermon left a profound impression on its hearers.

HERSHAW ELECTED The Third Time President of the Crispus Attucks Association. At the annual election of officers of the Crispus Attacks Relief Association held on Monday evening, L. M. Hershaw was re-elected president for the ensuing year by the unanimous vote of the members present. The speech placing Mr. Hershaw in nom- ination was made by William H. Brown and was one of the best examples of nominating oratory heard in many a day. Among other things Mr. Brown referred to the fact that in placing Mr. Hershaw in nomination he was making a precedent, as no forever president of the Association had ever been named for a third term. The other officers elected were: First vice president, W. E. L. Sanford, re-elected; second vice president, Geo. M. Cook; third vice president, James M. Langhorn; recording secretary, James C. Burls; financial secretary, James A. Payne, re-elected; assistant financial secretary, W. L. D. Wilkerson, re-elected; treasurer, Edward W.

Cobb and Others Must Answer—They Actually Participated. to Elect Hughes and Fairbanks—Dr. Newarked for a Report. than Askew. A mild sensation was created in the social and political circles last week when the Interior Department called up Howard University and asked for a report in the case of James A. Cobb, formerly an assistant United States attorney. Mr. Cobb was a member of the colored advisory committee that had the conduct of the presidential campaign among colored voters. It will also be remembered that Mr. Cobb was recently appointed a teacher in the law department of Howard University, which has been more liberally supported by the democratic administration than by form er republican administrations. Mr. Cobb's activity against the democratic administration which has been so liberal in supporting Howard University, is the cause of the charge having been filed. Mr. Cobb said to a Bee representative some time ago, when asked concerning these charges, stated that it tiller was absolutely no truth in them and so far as his pay being held up, that he doesn't qualify until February 1917. The investigators chose the charges were filed against Mr. Cobb and Dr. Newman, president of Howard University, was requested by the Interior Department to make a report on the activity of Mr. Cobb in the recent campaign. The Bee was also informed that Prof. Kelly Miller and Dr. Wm. Sinclair will also be under charges. ANOTHER ROLLICKING MUSICAL COEDY Coming to the Howard Theatre Next Week. After many weeks of the heavier drama this city will again be entertained by a Broadway musical comedy that scored one of the biggest successes on the "Great White Way." From start to finish "Three Twins" the vehicle unlined for the Howard Theater next week is brimful of fun and laughter, and it will be interesting to note the people in the audience trying to find out even after looking at the program, the gentlemen who are taking the title role in this show that keeps one laughing continuously. It is safe to predict that not even "Forty-five Minutes from Broadway" can rival this production, the show being of a higher order and the principias having a fine opportunity of appearing at their best. Among the principal characters are Abbie Mitchell, Tom Brown, the king of colored dramatic artists; "Babe" Townsend, Walker Thompson, Susie Sutton, Laura Bowman and others too numerous to mention for lack of space. The best looking chorus seen with the shows of the Quality Amusement Corporation so far will sing and dance for the edification of our amusement lovers, and many new faces will be seen in the cast. The song numbers are some of the prettiest heard in colored theatrical circles for some time, and the scenery depicts some of the most beautiful settings we have yet had the chance to witness. On the whole few can afford to miss this wonderful production, which has the entertaining qualities of all the other productions of its, kind surpassed. AMPHIONS' CLEAREATE SILVER ANNIVERSARY The Amphion Glee Club which was organized September 21, 1891, celebrated its silver anniversary with appropriate exercises December 1, 1916. The musical and literary feature was conducted with Robt. H. Terrell, presiding, and he related many personal experiences connected with the early days of Prof. J. Henry Lewis, the founder and director of the Amphions. Dr. Wilson Bruce Evans was received with a royal welcome by the many citizens present and he responded in a very happy vein. Miss M. A. D. Madre also made an address. The program of vocal selections given by the Amphions was highly commended. The audience was composed of the elite of the National Capital. The Bee is the greatest seller of any paper in the county. Ask the news stands for verification. HOWARD THEATER HOWARD THEATER. A change in the class of plays being given at the Howard Theatre was made this week and the musical comedy "Back to the Old Home Town" is being given. The play, as others of its kind, does not depend on the plot to furnish the interest but what plot is discoverable is that a nephew is left a lot of land by his uncle and comes home as a poor fellow and sounds his petrimity, like a prince. The men are not in a class with the women and the comparison is not much to their credit. The singing of Miss Fannie Wise and Miss Florence McLain was heartily tailed. The singing of Mammils by Miss Wise being exceptionally good. Miss Hattie James as "Lily Snow" doing blackface, is very clever. Frank Montgomery held the center of the stage for the greater part of the time and with his "guarian" Garland Howard did the best work for the male members of the cast. It is to be regretted that these colored comedians cannot be furnished with something original occasionally as in nearly every instance recently the same vehicle, in plot and situations, border on sameness. Nothing was added to the pretiness of the girls' shy parading them around the hall in all their face paint. Distance lend enchantment usually for people with much paint on the face. One good purpose of the change of bill is that that class of the patrons who do not like the plays heretofore given can have their taste satisfied and others can compare this class of plays with the others and see their relative difference. Perhaps this is a wise move on the part of the management. THEIR SILVER ANNIVERSARY. Rev. and Mrs. M. W. D. Norman Will Celebrate. Rev. and Mrs. M. W. D. Norman celebrate their 25th anniversary of their wedding Tuesday evening. December 19th, at 1933. Thirstreet northwest. It will be a brilliant social event.

Rev. Jernagin, who was selected as a delegate to represent the National Baptist Convention in the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America, left Monday night for St. Louis, Mo., to attend said council. When the information was given to the conference by its-president, Rev. M. W. D, Norman, D.D., that Rev. Jernagin would be one of the delegates to represent colored Baptists in St Louis, the pastors decided at once that he should not pay all of his expenses; they unanimously agreed to do something for him. Monday, December 4th, they presented him with a purse of $40.12, with more pastors to report. It is the work he has done with his congenial spirit since coming to the District of Columbia that caused his brother ministers to honor him thus. ARLINGTON NOTES.

Among the new members of the lodge are some of Washington's leading race men. The initiation started early in the evening and lasted until the wee hours of Wednesday morning. Booty Anderson, a local coal dealer, well known at one time as the head of the Monticello Club, was among the re-instated members. Grand Exalted Ruler Armond Scott made a flying trip to the hall during the meeting last Tuesday evening and was very proud of the great work Exalted Ruler Bundy is doing.

ARMSTRONG IS VICTOR OVER DUNBAR SCHOOL Wins Annual Gridiron Struggle at American League Park, by 7 to 0. Armstrong Manual, Training School defeated Dunbar High School, 7 to 0, yesterday afternoon, in their annual foot ball struggle, at American League Park. The game was hard fought throughout, both teams being evenly matched. The result was in doubt until the final whistle. Armstrong's touchdown came near the close of the secon period. After three successful forward passes had brought the ball to the three yard line, Dunbar tightened up, and three successive line plunges failed to get the ball over. Then Makal, Armstrong's star halfback, hit outside tackle for four yards and a touchdown. Makal also kicked goal. Dunbar had several chances for a score in the last half, but threw them away by fumbling. Makal at halfback and Arnold at tackle were Armstrong's-stars, while Costin and Barnes played well for the losers. Read The Bee if you want all the news.

Mrs. Rice, who was formerly Mrs. George D. Widener of Philadelphia, is herself interested in science and will help in the work of the expedition. She has been directing until recently the building and equipping of the great library at Harvard university which is a memorial to Mr. Widener, who was lost on the steamship Titanic.

The region to which Dr. Rice and the scientists accompanying him are to give their attention is bounded on the north by the Guaviare river, on the west by the Andes, on the south by the Canqueta river and on the east by the Rio Negro. The territory included in the plan comprises parts of Brazil, Venezuela and Colombia. Dr. Rice has mapped about 100,000 square miles of this region. He processes to make a survey of the tribariaries of the Rio Negro and to complete as nearly as he can the maps of enormous tracts yet practically unexplored. So well equipped is this expedition that it is expected that it will accomplish more work in the six months it will be away than could be done in twice that period under ordinary conditions. The yard Algeria is in herself a well-shored off-road argued almost treasure. One of the planners of the final North America comes from the history. There are many sites and positions that inflict painful blasts and can cause the war off the flying craft in the hills and the Algerian equipped with fireproof screens of the mine which will protect every deck and every porch hole will be protected. There are other precautions to be guarded against, including various lipids of ants. One of the worst of them is the leaf cuttering on the sand, which will eat up the old army traps on mosquito net as they were so much colweb in the amount of one of his previous expolitions. Like these how the ants devoured feet only a mosquito net, but a pair of feet can find the pockets of his cost.

AITHFUL UNTO DEATH AITHFUL UNTO DEATH Revelation 2:17-17.—December 10. the Revelation a Book of Symbols. Seven Successive Stages In the History of the Christian Church Symbolized by "the Seven Churches Which Are In Asia"—Names of the Churches Characteristic—The Great Falling Away — The Lord's Return During the Laodicean Period of Church History. Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give the crown of life." Verse 19. EVELATION is a book of symbols, which our Lord "sent and satisfied" told in verses and symbols of His angel. REVELATION is a book of symbols, which our Lord "sent and signified held in hearts and soulfully, His angel His servant John." (revelation 1:1).ible students "know that the book abounds in symbols, the literal being used only when unavoidable. In harmony, then, with the reminator of the book, the seven churches in Asia" must be symbolize; and as the book is chiefly history written beforehand, they must symbolize seven successive stages in Church history, covering the period between the First and Second Advent of Christ. The fulfilment, we think, proves the correctness of this position. A In the first chapter is a description of "One like unto a son of man," as seen in *visby* by the Apostle John. Some one or more of the features of this description of the features *Faithful Unto Death* would seem to be peculiarly appropriate to each stage of the Church; and in each case " it sends the message is thus used. The last part of each message is a promise to the "overcomers," and is also peculiarly adapted to the different periods of Church history. To give a birdseye view of the arrangement, we would notice their chronological position. Ephesus, covers the period during the lives of the Apostles; Siniyma, that of the pagan persecution, reaching to about 325 A.D., when Constantine became Emperor and declared in favor of Christianity. Pergamum embarks the transition period during which the papacy had its rise; Thyatira, the space during which the True Church was in the wilderness, and the Apostate Church sat as a queen and lived deliciously with the kings of the earth. Sardis includes a short interval just before the Reformation; Philadelphia the period from the Reformation until recent times; and Laodouma, the nominal Church of today. Messages to Various Churches. Ephesus is a city, cultivated, living this period our Lord "holiest the seven stars," His right hand." The message of the Churches, the Apostles—were so joyful during this epoch that we weep their feelings as our Lord's, healing in which words were really His. This aspect of the Church is common in faithful patient "God and not in guilt of Truth God and not of Truth." Siyaram was bitter. This stage of the Christian Church was the period of most bitter presentation, under the Emperor Justin II to Diocletian. In this mass, he laid Loyal Styles Hinson, "The First, and the Last, which was dead and in trouble." In no other song could he be the First and the Last that as the Father's direct Creation thrighed all else was erupted. Any other Cloak would conflict with the Serpent's Revelation 3:11; Colossians 1:13; 11:13; 11:23. Verse 17. Thus our Lord informes His faithful servants that they would be the greatest persuasion. Praise Rome, have symbolized as the Devil has been the most devilish of earthly enemies. Then viewed in the light of its biotic presentations, the Teo-calypsis refers to the last and most severe presentation that of Diobian, A. D. Diobian. Source of the most sublime pictures of Christian endurance were central during the Smyrna period of Church history. The call war for faithfulness into death the promise was that the overseers should receive that the crown of life" = immortality. Pergamon raises earthly elevation. The Spider is As "He who baths the sharp Spider with two claws." (He brews 4:12). During this period, while the nominal Church was growing popular, true Christians were tested and proved by the introduction and development of papal and papal ideas. The pagan priests, unwilling to lose their influential positions amongst the pope pic, sought to fit their ideas to the new religion. Thus while nominally professing Christianity, they brought many of their former ideals into the Christian Church. These were eventually grafted upon the faith once deliver'd into the religion. ```markdown ``` Thus gradually the Church was led into civil practices and away from God (Verse 14). It will be remembered that Bahama, once a Prophet of God, instructed King Kuba how to tolerate Israel to sin, thus bringing about what he could not himself accomplish, (Numbers 23, 21; 31:16). So paan priests taught the Church to be in spiritual form for all that brought upon her the wrath of God. The doctrine of the New Testament seems to be the self-serving one. HOWARD UNIVERSITY And the Howard Cabaret—A Social Resort for the Young. To the Editor: During the past seven years I have been a constant reader of your valuable paper. While I have not concurred with you on many matters which you have advocated, I have nevertheless held you and the "Bee" in high esteem. When I read your last week's editorial on the "Cabaret," I was indeed shocked and grieved to learn that you have seen fit to unfavorably criticise the authorities of Howard University. After stating that the Howard Cabaret is one of the most fashionable resorts in this city, you seem to lament over the fact that Howard students are not permitted to frequent his place of amusement. I readily confess that I do not know that sorts of amusements that are judged in by the patrons of Howardabaret, nor do I know why the authorities of Howard University havehidden the patronage of her students; but I must say that, if younot that Howard students should haveen granted permission to attend theabaret, you should have presentedthe matter to the president, trustees,or board of deans instead of givingthe University an uncalled for publicensure. Of course, I realize that itis thoughtlessness on your part. Sir, you have come further than you criticise the University authorities. You have unjustly criticised the students of Howard University. In its criticism your logic is indeed confusing. You first make a statement which leads your readers to infer that students do not attend the Caparet. then you proceed to say that "the management and officers in charge are more disturbed by students of the university than they are by those who are less cultured and have less opportunity of obtaining an education and receiving benefits of the teaching of fiquette. Mahy of the students who are far advanced tend to insult ladies who attend this cabaret rather than be so-called minor class. It is a well-known fact that young ladies are better treated by those who don't attend the University than those who do." Why this contradiction, Mr. Editor? You have said Howard students do not attend. How can they be a nuisance if they are not there? I can only conclude that you editorial on the Howard Caharet is an unjust and an unfavorable criticism on Howard University and her students.

DEMOCRATS There are several hundred democrats in this city who have on more than one occasion assisted colored publicans and will no doubt be appealed to in the near future to render additional assistance, namely: Mr. Harry Davis, former United States Attorney Wilson; Mr. John Laskey, present United States Attorney; Attorney Senator Chilton; Senator Martine of New Jersey; Senator Taggard of Indiana, John F. Costello, present recorder of deeds; Commissioners Brownlow and Newman, Mr. Justice F. L. Siddons, who is known to be more liberal toward colored people when he was commissioner than any other democrat under the present or any other administration, when Judge Siddons was elevated to the bench the colored race lost one of its best and most liberal and devoted friends. It was he who gave the colored people more recognition than any republican under the former republican administration. The democrats in this city made it possible for Judge Robert H. Terrell to be named and confirmed one of the judges of the Municipal Court. Edward and HBL, in. has been added to the faculty of the John M. Lawrence School of Law and holds the Chair in Commercial Paper. The courses in pharmacy, and nurse training at the Interdisciplinary University at persons for practical work along those lines. CONFERENCE ON EDUCATION. Educators from Twenty States cuss Problems at National Training School. Dupham, N. C., Nov. 25. The National Training School this city has been the means this cook for educations of both races from all parts of the United States. The occasion behin the conference called by President James E. Shipp for the purpose of discussing the educational problems of the various institutions and to perfect a closer unity and understanding of the educational needs and requirements of the colored people. Dr. J. A. Cotton, Principal of the Henderson, Normal and Industrial Institute, presided at the opening session Tuesday afternoon at two o'clock. "In presenting President Shepard who outlined the plan and scope of the Conference, Dr. Cotton, referring to the growth and development of the National Training School, said: 'Six years to when the people smoke one morning and found a school they needed a Jewish's Growth for the institution, but it has survived all the institutions have come to it.'" Dr. Shepard announced that in the general scope of the work would be included certification in the school of the communities, whether wasteful and harmful and what should be focused to convey the extent of teacher training and its experience and those hosted what system should be trained to meet the needs of rural teachers; what should be the level of the university college normal school teacher training and secondary schools; how students should be carried from one to the other to what extent religious training should be carried on in the various schools; whether there should be a general THE CITY OF NEW YORK THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH BEAUTY CULTURE SCHOOL (INC.) offers an excellent opportunity for the woman who desires to enter the lie business world, by taking up a COURSE in BEAUTY CULTURE.

Observations by J. C. Cunningham—The South Will Get Her Just Deserts—The Eye of God is Upon Her—The Wrath of God—What the Cofead People Could Do. Doubless thousands of readers of The Bee have gazed with indignation, upon the picture of Anthony Crawford which appeared on the tront page of The Bee of December 2. Here is a man whose very countenance betrays him as a man, a gentleman and a abiding citizen, here can be seen the damnable work that is being done by the lawless mobs in the lawless South Here is shown a wealthy colored farmer who was brutally murdered because he dared to dispute or differ with a "white gentleman?" who doubless tried to cheat him out of what rightfully belonged to him. Crawford is no more! but his blow eries to high heaven for vengeance. Mark what I tell you: The South will some day go to the punishment that she richly deserves. For that Eye that Eye which sever sleeps is upon her, Prior to the civil war, let us use the tune "The War of the Rebellion" the South sows the seed of hatred against the colored race. The hardest, which lasted for years began in 1811, and it took her four years to reap what she had been so abountant was the crop. Ah! She showed, then, as the has sown now hatred against the colored race. And the second day of harvest for her is not very far in the distance. Mejghins the scourd harvest for the boody South will be far greater than the first. And new God instillment President Wilson may save this country from the horrors of war, but he can't save the bloody south from the wrath of God. For God has declared that: "What is never a man soweth that shall he also repal." And furthermore, He has declared that: "Before one lot or one title of my word shall fail heaven, and earth shall pass away." So then it is clearly seen that there is no escape for the south for her cruel treatment of the colored citizens of that section of the country. "Oh, how sorry (?) is the good Governor of South Carolina for the disgraced his "well protected" lawless murderer" have brought "upon the good (?) name" of his state, he tells the country that every machinery of the state government will be brought to hear in bringing the guilty person to justice. Let us all implore the good Governor of South Carolina for his very evident inaction in behalf of law and order in his state, and in the south generally; and at the time the tell him that, "we have heard all this before." It has meant absolutely nothing in the past, and if anything like just punishment is in store for the murderer of Anthony Crawford, he it remembered Gov. Manning that we are all from Missouri—you will have to show us. In the mean time let a keep on pressing it in the minds of the colored people to get out of the south. We know of no phantom side of hell that the colored people would face worse than in the south. Perhaps they would face better in the heat of heat, for they would be in the keen warm and not be worried with the fear of being longed for, for such wickedness would be tolerated there even though it is carried on so called Christian (?)

Have the one hundred thousand colored people ever stopped to consider what they could do if there was more, race-pride among them? etc. Well; perhaps the avenue is closed against the colored boys and girls who are being educated in the public schools of Washington but if so there is probably a way out. An avenue can be opened up if they then. The colored people will follow if the right kind of leaders are put in control. We are trying to imitate the white people in everything they undertake to do. the community to be made made with them in business such as opening up department to do. And we can do that just as easy as we can compete with them in building new churches and building up all the old ones that have been discarded by the white folks. And I have my heart with all the circumstances of my heart, that we are a new type of people, are spending too much of our hard earned money in buying churches. Do you have me? It would be establishing it at the end of each year a true statement could be made by every Negro church, giving the amount of money collected and paid out on churches of the various denominations here in Washington; to say nothing of the other cities throughout the country. AT ALL GOOD DEALERS 50¢ UP STYLE 4523 Bien Jolie (INC. JOLEE) BRASSIERES And where does the money go? into the white man's hands, of cours. This is an age of graffit and the pity of it that very much of this graffit has found its way into the churches, and that is one of the things which is driving the people to the Sunday theatres. The preachers some of them, have turned the church into a business institution, and they are making money out of the poor people almost equal to the gigantic meat and flour trusts of this country. Making it too, in the name of Jesus. Again he is remembered by "all" of our people, that we are spending too much money on churches. God does not require it of us. Let us think on the tiny hints' given by The Bee. If the various colored pulpits would get in dead earnest and urge upon the people in necessity of potionizing the store o. Mr. Ware it will only be a question of time when Mr. Ware can move down on Pennsylvania avenue or on Seventh street, with a great department store with departments of goods, groceries, dry goods and every thing that is to be found in the white stores. Such a big store will open up the avenue spoken of by The Bee. What we are doing then, in laying up all the disgrace, white churches is a true example of what we can do in the real business wrt, or ourselves. May God help The Bee to keep on urging the good and timely subject until we shall have a store here in Washington that will give employment to a great number of the young men and women of our race after graduating from school.

Editor of The Bee: We saw last Saturday under the head of Church News in the "Evening Star" that a Mr. Jabez Lee and a Miss Versa had been elected superintendent of the Sunday School of the Florida Avenue Baptist Church. We are calling attention to this matter because it is so strange to see one of our so-called leading Baptist Churches sending its news to a white paper for publication when we have two Afro-American papers which are read not only by our people of this city, but throughout the nation. If this news were sent to the "Star," thinking that it would be read a greater number of Afro-Americans than by publishing it in our own newspapers, or because it would increase the white attendance of the church; or that it would increase their contributions to the church, as many Baptist negroes think who do these foolish things, it was time and energy thrown away. It might have been read by a few white people, but as soon as they found out that it was a negro church they would give it little or no attention thereafter; and so far as our own people reading this matter, we venture to say that not a hundred out of the one hundred thousand that make up the population of the District have read it. Whereas, if it had been published in The Bee, it would have been read by most all of our school teachers, ministers, lawyers, doctors, laymen of all denominations, and all of our business, men and women. We are anxious to know what the face is doing, but we never look in a white-paper for it because our experience has taught us that there are a very, very few white papers that can give up their feeble and prejudice long enough to publish any good thing that we do, and the negro who It appears that the Florida Avenue Baptist Church is on the down road. It has well nigh destroyed one of the finest. Sunday Schools in the city, so we learn. It has discharged one of the best superintendents and the finest group of Sunday School teachers in the city, and officers, and one of the --- The Aristocrat $28 17 Jewels 50c A Week On $25 or Less $1.00 a Week on $25 to $50 $1.50 a Week on $50 to $75 $2.00 a Week on $75 to $100 Cameo Brooches ```markdown ``` $7 Up 935 Penna. Ave. thinks so ought to be banished from among us for he is a curse instead of a blessing. It has taken fifty years to convince our people, especially those who read newspapers, that our papers are worthwhile. Hence it must be discouraging to see one of our so-called leading Baptist churches of this enlightened city that is literally dotted with educational institutions of the highest order and of every description, taking a step backward, for any negro church to publish one bit of news in a white paper, especially church news, with the idea of helping our own publishers or helping their congregation, when such publication is sent only to a white paper, such a transaction is a thrust at the very throat of our newspaper men and editors, as well as at the throat of every negro Sunday School, not only of the Baptist Church but every other. What does an act of this kind say to the intelligent students here at Howard University from all parts of the world about our newspapers of the Capital? Your race papers are worthless. Your own intelligent men refuse to recognize them. Whenever they have anything to publish they always take it to a white paper. They do not know that the negro who makes it a practice today to publish his news in a white and not a colored paper also is a fool and that he is trying to make it appear that he is a little wiser than the rest of his tribe, when he knows his limitations, and is trying to conceal himself from the great men of his age—an age of men and women who will not tolerate a shame. --- Convertible Bracelet Watches Dainty models; can be worn on neck chain or watch pin; fully guaranteed gold- stiffened cases; best American movements; perfect timekeepers. $15 11 12 1 10 ELGIN ARISTOCRAT 9 2 8 3 7 4 6 5 The Diplomat $23 15 Jewels Again very stylish and popular.

Can the intelligent Baptists of this city stand for this ignorance in a sister church.

November 28, 1916. ATHLETIC NOTES. By Edwin B. Henderson. Two classic games of football will be played this week in Washington city. In secondary school circles, the annual contest between Dunbar High School and the Armstrong Manual Training School is looked forward to with much expectancy. It has been rather customary for Coach Haley Douglass' charges to cop the bacon on the day of the big championship game, but the boys of Armstrong, under the tutelage of Coach Cedric Francis of the Armstrong faculty, have been going well enough this season to warrant the hopes that Armstrong has in the team. The Dunbar-lads have the best of the showing in comparative scores and if victorious Wednesday can lay claim to scholastic honors in this section. Dunbar tled scores with Howard Academy, and Manassas, won from the Annapolis Athletic Club, and lost by a close score to Storer College. Armstrong piled up a big score against Baltimore High, defeated Annapolis Athletic Club, and lost by single score to Manassas, Storer and Howard Academy.

With that swift running backfield and sturdy line it is hard to conceive of other than this is Howard's year, yet to one who observed the very marked change in two weeks that took place in Hampton's team between the Unions and Lincoln games, it is more than likely that the dope-can will be upset. Hardly before the pig-skin chasers finish their season we have basketballers on hand. A new thing is at hand. Enough boys have entered the Washington Normal school to form athletic teams to represent that institution. A basket ball team has been formed and has already uncorked a game.

TOOMMEY-DILLARD UNIQUE NUP- TIALS WERE CELEBRATED. Many Prominent White Friends of the Negro Lawyer and Poet Present. Miami, Fla., Nov. 23. Amid a setting of flowers and foliage pleasingly arranged in Bethel A. M. E. church, Miami, Nandethes Beatrix Dillard, the first girl child born in Miami, and Lieutenant R. E. S. Toombs, negro lawyer and poet, marched down the aisle last night and took their places before the altar to the strains of Mendelsohn's wedding march, saying there the words that united them in marriage. The ceremony was preformed by Rev. S. H. Savage, pastor of Bethel church. The wedding was one of the most elaborate functions ever held in the colored settlement of Miami, and attracted many leaders of Miami's official and social life, and a large gathering of the negro population. The church was crowded to the windows and hundreds stood on the sidewalks and in the church yard, unable to find seats or vantage points where they could peer through doors or windows. Among the guests noted, were United States Senator Duncan U. Fletcher, Mayor and Mrs. Parker Henderson, Councilman and Mrs. E. C. Fomfh, Mr. and Mrs. Edwin A. WadMiss Minnie Palmer and others. The Herald was represented by Oscar T. Conklin, its business manager; B. P. Field, Miss Mae McArthur and W. S. Hill; the Metropolis by Charles Cushman; Fire Chief H. R. Chase, Police Chief W. J. Whitman and others of the city officials attended. The bride, gowned in a lovely creation of white, entered on the arm of Scott C. Payne, her uncle, who gave her away. She is the daughter of the late Samuel Dillard and Minnie Dillard, and has the distinction of having been born in Miami some twenty years ago, being the second child and the first girl born here. Ethel Claire was maid of honor; Fannie De La Pilar, bridesmaid; S. S. Major best man, and Briscoe Payne, attendant; Leona, Timions, cushion bearer; Sarah Scott and Leonora Burnside, flower girls; Lee Powell, ring bearer; Leroy Sargeant, Harry Roberts and Ivan Rolle, ushers; Virgie Pettis, organist. At the conclusion of the ceremony the bride and groom slowly marched from the church to the accompaniment of Lohengrin's wedding march, and the wedding party went to the home of Scott Payne. Orange street and avenue G, where a reception was tendered. The beautiful decorations were the work of K. L. Phillur, who was assisted by members of the aid society. They consisted of potted palms and other tropical verdure, trailing vines and a large wedding bell with streamers of white ribbons. Before the wedding party entered the church a preliminary program was given by several young women and men friends of the bride and groom. It included vocal and instrumental selections. "Last Night Was the End of the World" was the first number. It was sung by Bertla Knowles; Leroy Sargent sang "The End of a Beautiful Day" E. Stuart Ritter rendered the Hungarian Camp Song on the violin; Mae Goodwin sang "Love, Here is My Heart"; Virgile Pettis concluded the program by singing "Q, Promise Me." Thep preliminary program was given under the directign of Harold Lightburn, master of ceremonies. After the reception Lieutenant Toomey and his bride went to a cottage in the Dale Miller addition, where they will live. Their Annual Banquet—A Great Time and a Most Enjoyable Event. The first annual "Stove League Banquet" of the Base Ball Boosters and Knockers Corporation was held at 937 S st. n.w. on Thanksgiving Eve. Manager Clark Griffith, was present, and joined in the rolleesome festivities of the occasion, giving an interesting talk on inside base ball and among other things gave expression to the fact that he numbers the Negro contingent among his most loyal supporters. The gastronomic feature was par excellence, for which Mr. Herbert Carter deserves the highest commendation. education. "The meeting of the "Old Guard" or "Regulars" was on tap from the time the "game" started until the last man was "called out" at the plate. The "batteries" were "Trimble and Hunter;" the boys took kindly to their offerings in the early part of the game; they were lambasted all over the field but toward the close of the game most of team was hitting at wide ones. Sam Coles was benched early in the game for getting too intimate with Umpire "Tony Moore." The toasts covered a wide field of interesting was a letter from S. H. Dudley, written in Montreal; among other things, he said: "I would write a speech explaining 'Dumb and Dummer' but if you just let two of the men speak, I am sure they will illustrate my toast. I know a man by the name of Giles (not Jackson) who will make a speech that will be 'dumb' and another man by' the name of Evans (not the umpire) who will make one 'dummer.'" Adrije Mr. Griffith that I am sorry I cannot meet him face to face but tell him to bring me some team next season and if he is short on capital that the "Boosters and Knockers Corporation" will buy some stock but we want a pennant, next year. Mr. Gathier ably defended the Boosters, in part he said: "A Booster really needs no defender; and was delighted to know that there was not a Knocker for every Booster." "Knocking per se is not so bad but when it comes to be provocative, pre-meditated, merciful—and not an insidious kind it is time to abate it." "Before I close, I want to extend a gracious invitation to all Knockers in their endeavor to bring the covered gongion to be nurtured at Seventh and Florida ave. in October 1917. "Just now, what the Nationals want, is not a vision of deprivation, but a vision of triumph, not a picture of defeat, but an inspiration to overcome common needs. "I stand before you, these artists, a vision of things of a bold inscrub crowd, thwarting at the gate, crying Live in Nationals, we train from seen Knockers, free from cat call and decision. A peam of three hundred, bitters, emulgers, this is the vision present which possessed my eyes. In the midst of such social possibilities who could help me build a Booster." W. H. C. Brown was merchant with his polignant thrusts as the Prince of Snookers, all present had to admit that the Knickers had a strong, why bender in the Sage of 17th st., a foe man worthy of their stock. The Quality Amusement Company was ably represented by Messrs Kirk- penn, Muncie and Ray who deserve a word of praise in the excellent condition of several vocal numbers, displaying especially gifted vocal equipment. Possibly it is not far fetched in stating that there has never been a simi-affair attempted within the memory of the oldest inhabitants. The officers are: E. R.

President Pinket's Great Efford—Major Walker's Speech. Tuesday evening, Nov. 25th was a red letter day in the history of Bethel Literary when a public welcome was tendered the offices and men of the First Separate Battalion. It was in honor of their service on the Mexican border. With Brigadier General Harvey, commander of the militia of the District of Columbia and his Adjutant, Maj. Castner, with Col. King, Maj. Smith and other, military men occu- large auditorium, of the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church tastily decorated in American flags and filled to overflowing with enthusiastic friends, there was presented a fit setting for the welcome tendered Major James E. Walker and the officers and men of the Battalion. Before the soldiers arrived the church was comfortably filled and Prof. Wm. Praxton entertained with choice selections on the pipe organ. The Battalion band led their gallant comrades from the armory to the church, and under the leadership of bandmaster Russell A. Wooding, enriched the gathered throng with apt selections. The program, which had been thoughtfully arranged, was replete with interest. When the men of the Battalion had been seated, Mr. Pinkett, president of Bethel Literary, escorted Maj. Walker, followed by his staff and other officers, to their seat of honor on the rostrum. Prayer was offered by Rev. Williams and followed with a captivating selection by the Amphion Glee Club, under the direction of Prof. J. Henry Lewis. The president then presented Mr. W. L. Houston to deliver the first address of welcome. How well he performed his task is told in the story of his frequent interruptions with applause. Mr. Houston is an orator of no mean ability, but on this occasion he seemed to possess new power and really excelled himself. His was a classic and helped make the evening with Bethel Literary memorable. Following Mr. Houston, Mr. W. Calvin Chase Jr. accompanied by his accomplished sister, Miss Beatrice Chase, rendered a cornet solo. Mr. Chase is known as an artist with the cornet and on this occasion he was true to his reputation. The second speaker and the only woman on the program was Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, president of the National Training School for women and girls. Her address is the most talked-of feature of the soldiers' welcome. Time after time she was interrupted with deafening applause. She simply took the house by storm. Sergeant Lomack of the Battalion sang a solo with such genuine sweetness that his comrades and the public compelled him to respond to an encore. It then became the duty of the soldiers to make some acknowledgement of the many compliments which had been paid them and the lot fell to the Major of the Battalion, James E. Walker. Major Walker would have the public believe that he is no speaker, but merely a soldier. Those who witnessed his performance on Tuesday evening will forever hereafter turn a deaf ear to this plea, for what he said and the manner in which he said it not only held the audience, in rapt attention but elicited frequent outbursts of applause. Our regret is that time would not permit a fuller discourse upon the many points of interest. One feature of the program which proved of compelling interest was the presentation of service medals, Brigadier General Harvey, realizing that the plan of Bethel Literary in setting apart an evening in honor of the First Separate Battalion was an event of more than passing interest, selected the occasion as auspicious for pinning on the breasts of men of long service in the organization certain emblems of honor. After a brief address, full of praise for the men, he called upon Adjutant A. C. Newman to present the men entitled to the honors he was to confer. Men whose services ranged from six to twenty-five years came forward and were decorated by their superior, Gen. Harvey. The online proceeding was a fit recognition of the commandable service which the Battalion has rendered to the race and to the Nation. It was a tribute to them after having, for the first time in their history, been called into the service of the United States where they acquired themselves with credit. Bettel Literary has done itself honor in hoaging thus the mon Home and School Association. Home and School Association.

The subject of the evening's discussion was, "The Duty of Citizens from a Parent and Civic Standpoint to the School," Miss Naamie Burroughs, principal of the National Training School for Girls and Women, the principal speaker, exposed the need for a proper physical basis in the child. Mr. E. L. Thurston, Superintendent of Schools, particularly urged the development of a civic consciousness in the child. Said he: "The schools are nothing more or less than citizenship factories." Another speaker was Mr. Hayden Johnson of the Board of Education. Miss Barney was in charge of the musical numbers, and Mr. J. L. C. Chestnut was Chairman of the Committee on Arrangements.
