Harrington of Maryland. VOL. XXXIX: NO. 38 COMMENDS WORK Governor Emerson C. Ha DR. SIMON P. W. DREW. The Famous Evangelist and Pulpit Orator Goes Over the Top. Dr. Simon P. W. Drew, the famous evangelist and pulpit orator, pastor of the Cosmopolitan Baptist Church, N street between 9th and 10th streets northwest, Washington, D.C. president of the National Evangelistic Ministers' Alliance, of America and president of the White Cross Free Labor Federation Bureau of America, has just returned from Baltimore, Md., and will preach at his own church Sundays, February 16 and 23. Dr. Drew conducted a union city-wide campaign drive, with headquarters at the Fulton Baptist Church, Dr. Samuel Ward, pastor. It was considered one of the greatest in the history of the city of Baltimore. Nearly 1,000 persons gave their names to join the different colored churches. The governor of the state made a speech at the close of Dr. Drew's revival in which every denomination took part and endorsed Dr. Drew's work. State House, Annapolis, Md., Jan. 22, 1919. To Whom It May Concern: The Rev. S. P. W. Drew, pastor of Cosmopolitan Church in Washington, and president of the White Cross Free Labor Bureau of America, is engaged in work, which has for its object the progress and uplift of the colored people of America. Rev. Drew has put his whole soul into the work of presenting to his people a proper vision of the oppor- tunities open to them and in pointing out to them the only kind of service that will make tliem successful in life. Yours very truly, Governor. The big mass meeting held at Bethel' A. M. E. Church, Dr. W. Sampson Brooks, pastor, who spoke in a complimentary term of Dr. Drew's work and said that every de-nomination should aid the work which Dr. Drew has taken, irrespective of Dr. Creed or color. At the close of Dr. Brooks' speech, he gave $5, personally, and his church $75. Dr. W. J. Winston, pastor of Waylan Baptist Church and president of the Lee and Hays University, and a personal friend of Dr. Drew's for the last twenty-five years, spoke. Dr. Drew's cousin, Prof. E. Fennell, taught Dr. Winston Greek and science at the Virginian Seminary. Other speakers were Dr. Ernest Lyon, pastor of John Wesley M. E.

SATURDAY, FEBRUA Y 22, 1919 JAMES S. CHAPMAN IN NOR FOLK, VIRGINIA. Supreme Grand Secretary of the Ancient Order of the Knights and Daughters of Jerusalem Entertaincd—Norfolk Delegates Endorse Exalted Ruler Bundy for Grand Exalted Ruler at the Next Election—A Layman Demanded. Norfolk, Va., Feb. 12.—On invitation from St. John's Commandery of the Supreme Grand Lodge of the Ancient Order of the Knights and Daughters of Jerusalem of Norfolk, Va., entertained Wednesday evening, February 12th, Lincoln's Birthday, Supreme Grand Secretary of the Ancient Order of the Knights and Daughters of Jerusalem. It was a most brilliant event. Exalted Ruler of Eureka Lodge, I. B. P. O. E. W., and Portsmouth Lodge was well represented. Grand Secretary Chapman delivered two addresses, one in the morning and the other at 7:30 p.m. The Knights of Jerusalem turned out in force, and were the hosts of the Elks in Norfolk and Portsmouth, Va. At this reception and the trend of the speeches were for the election of a big layman as Grand Exalted Ruler of the Elks of the World, and that layman pointed to Exalted Ruler M. Edward G. Bundy, of Columbia Lodge, No. 85, of the District of Columbia. Exalted Ruler Bundy was highly complimented and given credit for the establishing of a home in the District of Columbia, under the supervision of Columbia Lodge. They are going to put Bundy over, declared Grand Secretary Chapman. It was Mr. Chapman who was appointed deputy under T. Giles Nut- ter of West Virginia, and who served one year and removed without notice under Exalted Ruler Scott in the middle of his term. Supreme Secretary Chapman is a strong supporter of E. W. Bundy of Columbus Lodge, No. 85. The reception tendered the knights by the members of the Knights of Jerusalem, with the two large lodges of Elks of Norfolk and Portsmouth, Va., was an evidence of the esteem in which he is held by these organizations. No man has ever been better entertained than Supreme Secretary Chapman. His speeches and those of the Elks at this banquet were for a layman to head the Elks. Lawyers have been leading long enough, remarked some, now let the layman lead and the lawyer advise. This will be the topic at next convention of Elks, and Bundy is their choice. Rev. Fr. J. H. Dorsey of Dorsey, a Colored Priest, to Lecture Here. Under the auspices of the Holy Name Guild, the Rev. Fr. Dorsey will give a lecture, "Some Burning Topics of the Hour," at Howard Theater, on Sunday, February 23, at 2:15 p.m. Father Uncles, another colored priest, is also expected to be present on this occasion. A splendid program is being arranged, Judge Robert Terrell of the Municipal Court will be one of the speakers. Mr. Harry Nugent will render a vocal solo, and a special chorus will render selections. As this is probably the first time in the history of the city that there has been two colored priests present at one time in any gathering, the Holy Name Guild, together with the fact that it is giving you an opportunity to hear a race man in a wonderful lecture, is also giving to many Washingtonians their first glimpse of a Catholic priest of the race. One-third of the net proceeds of this, meeting is, for the benefit of St. Joseph's Orphanage of Baltimore. Cards of admission may be obtained from the office of the Guild, 1743 13th street, evenings from 7:30 to 10:30, and from St. Augustine's rectory, 1118 15th street. Reserved seats, 35 cents; general admission, 25 cents. Thousands Greet Him and Hear His Thrilling War Story. Indianapolis, Ind., February 17.—Ralph W. Tyler, the returned war correspondent, addressed two capacity audiences here Sunday and this evening, under the auspices of the Colored Branch, Y. M. C. A. From here he went to Columbus, where he is scheduled to speak under the auspices of the Baptist Brotherhood, the 19th, and at Dayton, Ohio, the 20th; for the Ladies' Soldiers' Aid Society on the 21st, he speaks at Pittsburgh, under the auspices of the Colored Masons; at Cleveland, the 24th, under the auspices of the Phillis Wheatley Association; March 2d, at New York, for the New York News Charity Bureau; March 3d, at Baltimore, at Bethel A. M. E. Church. From Baltimore he will go to Washington to spend several days prior to his engagement at Toledo, Ohio, March 12th. A number of cities in this state have requested him to return and fill engagements. Y. M. P. L. MEET. The board of directors of the Y. M. P. L. met last Wednesday evening at the residence of Dr. S. M. Pierre, 2124 L. Street N. W. After the regular order of business and the Hospital Colored Troops Complimented for Their Good Behavior by Mayors of French Towns. Corporal Joseph T. Lee writes to his pastor, Rev. E. Thomas Broadus, of Zion Baptist Church, Deanwood. He and Ernest Branch are members of the above-named church, and also members of Battery D, 349th Field Artillery, still in France. These young men are active workers in the Ushers Board of the church. Deacon Tyler Lee is its honored president. His mother, Mrs. Louisa Lee, is an active worker in all the departments of the church. Mrs. Lina Branch, the mother of Ernest Branch (who also holds a commission) is a real mother and a faithful worker in Zion. Besides mentioning their good health and their efforts to be good Christians, Corporal Josephus Tyler Lee sends the following letters from mayors of the towns in which their regiment has stopped during their stay in France: Headquarters 649th Field Artillery American Expeditionary Forces, France, A P. O. 722, Sept. 6; 1918. The following letter having been received, is published for the information of the regiment, and will be read at retreat Saturday, September 7, 1918. By order of Colonel Moore Joseph H. McNally, Captain and Adjutant. 349th Field Artillery. Montmorillion, Aug. 12, 1918. Dear Colonel: At the occasion of your departure, permit me to express to you my regrets and those of the whole population. From the very day of its arrival your regiment, by its behavior and its military appearance, excited the admiration of all of us. Of the sojourn of yourself and your colored soldiers amongst us we will keep the best memory and re- election of officers for the ensuing year, the members repaired to the dining room to enjoy a surptuous repast, prepared by Dr. and Mrs. Pierre. The officers, members and friends present were: William H. Johnson, chairman; Dr. S. M. Pierre, vice chairman; Andrew J. Payne, secretary; Daniel Freeman, chaplain; Clarence O. Lewis, Richmond Milton, William H. Fortune, William H. Carter, Jr., Arthur F. Boston, James Williams, and Samuel Pierce, Jr. GREAT MEETINGS. The celebration of the third anniversary of the Davis Memorial Mission (Theomonistic). 38 Myrtle Street N. E., began last Thursday evening, February 20, and will continue to February 24, inclusive. There were two meetings Sunday. February 23, at 4 p. m. and 7:30 p. m., at which papers on the following subjects were read: Death, Immortality and the Final Destiny of Men. The program was literary and musical. The subjects read were handled by some of Washington's most liberal and advanced thinkers. Messages were given to those who were present within the first hour of the meeting. These messages had a bearing on the past, present and future of the person to whom they are given, as viewed in the light member your regiment as a picked one. From the beginning a real brotherhood was established between your soldiers and our people, who were glad to welcome the gallant allies of our France. Having learned to know them, the whole population holds them in great esteem and we all join in saying the best of them. I hope that the white troops, replacing your regiment, will give us equal satisfaction; but, whatever their attitude may be, they cannot surpass your 349th Field Artillery. Please accept the assurance of my best and most distinguished feelings. Headquarters 349th Field Artillery, American Expeditionary Forces, France, A. P. O. 766, January 25, 1919. The following letter having been received, is published for the information of the regiment. By order of Colonel O'Neil. George B. Compton, Captain and Adjutant, 349th Field Artillery. Mairie de Domfront (Orne) The mayor of the town of Domfront has the very great pleasure to state and declare that the 349th Regiment of the 167th Field Artillery Brigade has been billeted at Domfront from the 28th of December, 1918, to the 22nd of January, 1919, and that during this period the officers as well as the men have won the esteem and sympathy of all the population. The black officers as well as the white officers have made here many friends, and go away leaving behind them the best remembrance. As to the private soldiers, their behavior during the whole time has been above all praise. It is a duty for the mayor of Domfront to bid the general, officers and men a last farewell, and to express to all his thanks and gratitude for their friendly intercourse with the civilian population.

Anything that is unpleasant or tends toward humiliation was not given out in public, but preserved for private conference if the person in question be sufficiently interested to apply for such a conference. Refreshments were served in the basement of the mission after each service. Mrs. Helen A. Davis. evangelist, in charge. CAPT. JOSEPH E. TREGG. Capt. Joseph E. Tregg, son of Mr. Joseph E.

Whenever a set of men and women organizers attempt to organize an exclusive society you can just bet that it is composed of a set of outcast interlopers. Real society people and people of high birth don't have to advertise themselves as the exclusive. Take many of the so-called exclusive societies that have been attempted in this city and investigate the home reputation and character of their members, and the result is most startling. Every newcomer to this city, who has no standing at home, will attempt to organize an exclusive society. Some time ago I named the real people of Washington and warned the better class against this social outcast. Take up and sift these proselites and tell me your opinion of them. They stand for nothing; they can do less, and they are outcasts at their own homes. This recent scandal, in which so many prominent and well known people figure, is composed of outsiders or the newcomers. Some time ago a few Washingtonians were fooled into one or two of these mushroom social organizations, but they soon made their exit. I remember a few years ago, a department clerk from Detroit, Mich. secured an appointment under the District government. He was married to a female who had been twice divorced and he had several charming admirers on the outside. He took upon himself to blackball a reputable citizen by preventing him from being inyited to what he called a select social function. Such high-handed acts were very prevalent in this city in '89 and '90. These high functionaries have passed to the great beyond. Society is more cosmopolitan now. The color question is not so prevalent now. The half whites are now seeking the blacks and high browns. The recent war has brought on a reaction in the social circle. My friend, Royal Hughes, assumes a Chesterfieldian air nowadays. His tailor-made clothing give him an appearance that he never possessed before. Royal takes life easy, and he has decided that a bachelor's life is the most congenial and best life to live. Royal says that you have no responsibility as a bachelor; you have no one to boss you or to dictate to you; if conditions arise that you are pressed you don't have divorce bills to answer. You go to church, say your prayers and ask the Lord to forgive you of your sins of omission and commission; you have no legal ties to bind you. Some day Royal says he may make up his mind and turn crazy. What he means by that he didn't explain to the Sage, but you can imagine what he means. Royal is good company and an excellent entertainer. Jesse Foster says Royal did certainly have his goat at one time, but when the turning point came he foreclosed and took all Royal had and was paid compound interest. You know, Jesse Foster is a lightning calculator now. He can count cash with his eyes closed and his ears stopped up, and balance your account in his favor. It was a long time before Jesse got his eyes fully opened, and since then they have never been closed. Speaking about Royal Hughes: He had a partner by the name of Augustus Gray. Gray and Royal were a pair that you could not match. There is one thing about these two aces, they are hard to catch. They don't Phone North 1955. Acquiring an education. A trade is not all. Applying it solves the problems. THE HISTORY OF THE MUSEUM have to employ a white lawyer to help them in the defense of their clients. Their papers are always carefully prepared. They are like my old ancient friend, Joseph H. Stewart. Joe is getting a little careless in his old age. He used to wear his hair with a pompadour and trousers well creased; he had a military air, and other high qualities that commanded admiration. The two aces have taken all of that from Joe. They employ special high-class tailors to carry in fabrics to adorn their bodies. Charley tipped arrived from Columbus, Ohio, last Thursday, morning for a brief visit. He brought with him a suspicious-looking bottle, purporting to contain a full quart of rare old whisky, distilled down in the mountains of Kentucky, about the time Dr. Williston got his "forty-four-year-old in the wood" brand. Charley presented the suspicious looking bottle, properly labeled, etc., as a present to the judge from Ralph W. Tyler and William H. Litchford. Judge, it is said, greeted with a "smile that won't come off" the bottle, thanked Charley profusely for carting it to him on a Pullman car for more than 600 miles. To Judge it was a life-saver, now that Washington is a Sahara. He told Walter Singleton about it. He eased the information over to that twentieth century spendthrift, John C. Daney—he, the judge, invited a few select beauties esprits and connoisseurs to his home to sample this rare old vintage sent him from Columbus, Ohio. He dexteriously, and carefully removed the cork, remarked about the bead on the fluid, indicating age, and smiled and smacked his lips as he poured "two fingers" of the supposed elixir of life into a glass. Then he raised the glass to his lips, took a long, health-giving and taste-satisfying draught. But, alas! This "rare old vintage" was nothing but tea—just ordinary, every-day. Sir Thomas Lipton tea. The judge, in consesuence, has sworn off—declares he will never again, while renominations for continuous terms as municipal judge continue in vogue, drink, taste or touch another drop of—of TEA. "And the joke is on our judge. Every one he meets now is asking him how he likes tea "made in Columbus" and shipped on Pullman sleeper, in care of Charles R. Hall the modern jokesmith. The big music publishing house of Carl Fisher, New York city, sends the writer a letter under date of February 5, 1919, as follows: Dear Sir: The undersigned has lately mailed you a set of so-called Bandana Sketches for violin and piano in which a number of well known Negro spirituals have been transcribed in ideal fashion. The fact that these transcriptions are the work of an Afro-American composer adds considerable interest, and we trust that the excellence of his settings may prompt you to favor them with an early review: It would be greatly appreciated and we would thank you for sending us a clipping of any mention you would make of same. Very truly yours. Carl Fisher. (By A. G.) The numbers referred to are as follows: "Bandana Sketches" (four Negro spirituals), by Clarence Cameron White, for violin and piano, viz.: No. 1, chant "Nobody Knows de Trouble I've Seen." No. 2, lament, "I'm Troubled in Mind." No. 3, slave song, "Many Thousand Gone." No. 4., Negro dance, "Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child." These numbers shall be reviewed later through the columns of The Music Master magazine and The Bee. We are well acquainted with Mr. White, the composer, having first met him on his first concert tahr in Boston, Mass., several years since, in his initial effort after returning from study abroad. We knew him then as a rising musician of rare attainments, destined to play a splendid part on the concert platform, and that opinion has been broadened in after years, resultant of his broader musicianly culture, poise and artistic ability. We feel, it an honor of the house of Carl Fisher, unworthily bestowed, perhaps, requesting a public reviewal of this work, but shall give it our earnest consideration in the meantime. We are greatly interested in the church choir. We have an abundance of them, too, but in quality they number few indeed. How sorry I feel for our colored churches—such splendid edifices and some few splendid preachers, with such absolutely "rotten" singing in them. And what shames me is that no effort whatever upon the part of officials is being made to improve conditions. Who would always hear "great sermons" and no "great" singing, i.e., singing that would inspire the soul, uplift the broken-hearted and dignify the service of God to a higher standard. Much more could and will be said on this later. "The Bells of Emancipation." Negro spiritual., by Henry Williams of Duluth, Minn., has been received by us, the words of which follow: "Let my people go, oh, let my people go; We'd ask Him to unlock the chains and let my people go. Oh; Lord, hear our prayers, is all we ask. Pray on, my people. God is our friend; He hears our pleading, pray on to the end. the end. He knows our struggles in this wicked world.

Johnson, Company B, 372 Infantry, to Hon. Moorefield Storey, President National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Dear Sir:—The soldier begs to call the attention of your organization to the exigency for the establishment and permanent maintenance of a separate United States army hospital for colored soldiers, commanded by colored officers, supplied with colored soldier corps men and furnished with colored nurses, and to point out several of the salient reasons featuring such necessity: Prominent among these reasons is the not infrequent complaint of colored soldiers of alleged mis-treatment and unjust discrimination against them in the exercise of unpatriotic race prejudice and wanton cruelty exhibited on the part of white nurses and corps men to their helpless Negro patients, and apparently sequestered by hospital authorities. pinned in the Wardrobe of Columbia, which is recently discussed in a new book, to the very race journ- lise. His betrayal and glory sweet would have begun the author's death or no man's land! than the cruel thirst of a treatment that he rec- ceived at the hands of those in Wal- ter's mind. That has a reward for his sacrifice in his country's battle- field! This is inju-tice! While a vast number of white surgeons have been added to the army's hospital force since the time inducted into the service since the late war was declared—are being retained in service, and our own efficient and patriotic Negro surgeons and corps men who have sacrificed lucrative practice and positions, and dedicated their services for years in National Guard organizations, and have rendered signal service to their country, before and throughout the late war, will be speedily instered out of the service. Since they have been defenders throughout the crisis, why reduce them to aliens in times of peace? Why make them a co-worker in suffering and sacrifice and refuse them a share in the service and earning capacity of the aftermath? This is discrimination! Our own precious Negro women—a young army of trained nurses—who have done their bit at home and had the legal tender of their services abroad to nurse American soldiers refused, are praying and knocking incessantly at the closed gates of opportunity guarded by the white sentinel of racial discrimination, for the privilege to serve and to share in salaries paid by the United States Government for such service, in consideration of the war risk premiums paid by Negro service men! Why not make it a mutual (democratic) concern, and give Negro women nurses a share in the equity of the pay premiums deducted monthly from Negro service men's salaries and allow our women also to take out insurance policies like white women are allowed to do in the army? Give our Negro women the same practical experience as the whites, which is so desirable, that should our country be chastened again by conflict, our women will be already listed to accompany their brethren into the field of action, and our Negro soldiers will never again be subjected to the indignities, neglect and pitiless cruelty of white nurses and attendants in army hospitals. This is infamous and repulsive. Why not establish for Negro soldiers under the tutelage of the government a welfare and recreation house, since they cannot enjoy (nor do they relish) the entertainments and social functions that are given to white soldiers? There the scattered efforts and miscellaneous endeavors of Negro women's clubs, fraternities and colored churches could be consolidated and the effect would be salutary and satisfactory. This is tagation without representation. Finally, the vast sum of money that Negro insured men will pay into the War Risk Insurance Fund for the next three decades will mount to over two billion dollars, conservatively figured. During all this time Negro service men will be wards in United States hospitals. Yet, as matters stand now, white salaries through this stretch of years, and Negro surgeons, corps men, and Negro women will be told to be good and quiet. Should not the race demand recognition in this equity of salaries? Will it be denied them? Why not the race request the government to designate a portion of Freedman's Hospital here in the District for Negro soldiers, and assign our Negro surgeons, to duty there instead of consigning them to the garbage heap or to perdition and be damned? Rescue our perishing and abused soldiers from Walter Reed Hospital! The soldier cites the case of Capt. Alfred Ridgley, the ranking officer of the Medical Corps of the 372nd Infantry, A. E. F., now en route to the United States. Captain Ridgley, a native of the District of Columbia, a self-made man, a high-class, reputable physician and surgeon, who gave his services for years to the Negro National Guard Battalion of the District—the senior Negro National Guard organization of the country—who has proved his fidelity in the Mexican Border crisis and in the late war. Why not ask the government to raise Captain Ridgely to the rank of major in the United States Medical Corps, and give him the command over such separate hospital as a fitting reward and recognition of his high and patriotic service. Why not our colored army surgeons, according to their rank and grade he retained for such service. Success to the idea. I am, sincerely yours. Sergey Greenleaf B. Johnson Company B, 372nd Infantry, U.S.A. NEW YORK AND NEW JERSEY ISSUE NATIONAL CALL To Federate All Colored Organizations and to Maintain Representatives at Washington to Watch and Work for Reconstruction at Home. New York, N. Y., Feb. 19.—Hundreds of thousands of our boys went across for our country—now let us ask our country to come across for them. Let us federate for mutual understanding, mutual interest and mutual gain every colored club and all organizations of every kind throughout the United States, so our twelve million people may be speak their united demands, so we may be in position to "fight for the things we have held nearest our hearts—democracy"—for the right of those who submit to authority to have voice in their own government. Nations are federating, labor is federating, and racial units all over the world are corrollating and centralizing their power and influence for protection—why not we? In this movement to federate, no organization is called upon to lose its identity, to sacrifice a single one of its principles or to cease its labor. Governments, societies, church denominations and fraternities all get their power by centralizing and pushing forward their aims and policies—then in the spirit of "all for one and one for all." let us establish unity within the race; and the social, industrial and political obstacles which we have suffered in the past will crumble before a determined, enlightened, united advance. What say you? Will you help in the reconstruction at home? Will you meet in a non-partisan conference on March 20th and 21st in New York City and help determine the proper course? Notice of meeting place will be given later. Let every club, every society, every organization, fraternal or otherwise, send representation. Let the churches and the press join in with representation, and let us start from here to really, get somewhere. The representatives to be sent and kept in Washington will serve each participating organization, so that your matter may receive immediate, first-hand consideration. On to Washington for the untrammeled right of the ballot, for our human, industrial and political justice! First, let us protest against the hypocrisy of American democracy, as demonstrated in (a) denying the Negro the absolute rights and privileges as citizens; (b) making him the victim of the undemocratic system of segregation, the 20th century slavery; (c) the State and Federal operation of the nefarious, Jim-crow car system; (d) depriving him of the opportunity of education in the Southern States; (e) exploiting his labor and holding him in practical peonage in the Southern States; (f) depriving him of the right of gainful occupation in Northern States; (g) depriving him of the right of trial by a jury of his peers; (h) excluding him from a voice in the government though exacting from him the full performance of his duty as a citizen and soldier to the supreme sacrifice in defense of his government; (i) to protest against denying him his full share, according to numerical strength, in the reorganization of the United States Army; (j) making him the victim of relentless persecutions, lynchings and burnings at the stake. Second, to demand the right of the ballot in every State of the Union and the enforcement of the Federal Constitution, especially the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments thereto.

Such is the aim voiced by the Roosevelt Permanent Memorial National Committee, which has opened offices on the twenty-ninth floor of No. 1 Madison Avenue, New York. In a statement issued by the committee it was made clear that the members of the committee will remain open-minded for many months in the exact form to be taken by the memorial, and promise to give all suggestions from sources outside the committee the most careful consideration. It was further explained that the administration expenses of the committee would be boring by separate subscriptions, and that "every penny given for the memorial will be spent for a memorial." Contributions to the memorial fund are solicited and will be promptly acknowledged and deposited with the treasurer, Albert H. Wiggin of the Chase National Bank. Mone.

Tuckerman, at Edgmoor, under the auspices of the American Committee for Relief in the Near East, Sergeant Alexander T. Coubrough, of the Australian Anzaes, a scarred veteran of the Gallipoli campaign, told the story of the sufferings of the Armenian refugees, who were landed in Egypt while his battalion was in training at Alexandria. Although a week ahead of the District of Columbia Near East Relief Drive, which starts here next Sunday, there was a spontaneous offering of contributions at the meeting this afternoon following the recital of the story by Sergeant Coubrough. Those contributing were Mrs. Lyle, Mrs. Fred Casky, Mrs. Edward L. Stock, Mrs. C. E. Duck, Mrs. D. J. Williams, Mrs. A. W. Chapman, Mrs. H. W. Dodge, Mrs. D. H. Tibbots, Mrs. Haines, Mrs. W. W.

BEGINS WORK ON THE ROOSEVELT MEMORIAL Committee Issues Call for Contributions and Suggestions for Permanent and "Dynamic" Monument to the Colonel. New York, Feb. 10.—The permanent memorial to be erected by nation-wide popular subscription to the memory of Theodore Roosevelt must "not be merely a thing of stone and bronze," but, "like Theodore Roosevelt him elf, it must be dynamic." Committee's Statement. The statement issued by the committee says in part: "The Roosevelt Permanent Memorial National Committee consists exclusively of men and women who were in one way or another closely associated with Col. Roosevelt. They knew him in public life and, at home; they knew better than any one else outside his immediate family what he loved and what he hated, what he stood for and what he stood firmly against, among them they represent every phase of his extraordinary and many-sided career. If any group, therefore, can say what would be the wish of Theodore Roosevelt in regard to a national memorial to him, this committee should be able to do it. "Theodore Roosevelt believed in the people; that means that he believed in the sound horse sense of the average American. It is only just to his memory, therefore, that the American people whom he implicitly trusted and who trusted and followed him should have every opportunity to express their preference concerning the form that their memorial to him should take. "The committee has no idea what that form will be." It knows only this, that the memorial which the American people ultimately dedicate to Theodore Roosevelt must not be merely a thing of stone and bronze. Like Theodore Roosevelt himself, it must be dynamic. Roosevelt never stood still, and it would be treason to his spirit if this memorial should not have in it some of the creative energy of the man it seeks to honor. In some way it must help to build the new and better America. "Roosevelt the man is dead, but Roosevelt the energizing spirit is very much alive. It is the aim of the memorial committee, with the aid of Colonel Roosevelt's friends and supporters all over the country, to find some effective way of putting that spirit to work." First Contributor Capt. Bourke. The honor of making the first contribution to the memorial fund fell to Capt. Edward F. Bourke of the Thirty-third Precinct Police Seation, who served under Colonel Roosevelt when the latter was Police Commissioner of New York City, and who accompanied a $10 contribution with a letter expressing his appreciation of the Americanism of the former This remedy will relieve and cure all forms of indigestion, catarrh of the stomach, heartburn, sour stomach, flatulency, pain in the stomach, water brash, acid fermentation, gaseous accumulations and mal-assimilations.

It has been the invariable policy of The Bee to safeguard the best interests of the race, and in the march of events to define those opportunities big with destiny and fraught with wholesome purpose that make for distinct gains for the race, whether local or national, and to offer remedial suggestions in the elucidation and amelioration of all matters, present and practical, in the settlement of the program for our future well-being. The Bee endorses that portion of a letter of Sergt. Greenleaf B. Johnson, Company B, 372d Infantry, A. E. F., to Hon. Moorefield Storey, president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, calling the attention of that organization to the necessity of considering the feasibility of petitioning the War Department or the Executive to establish and maintain a separate hospital—yea, the designation of a portion of Freedman's Hospital, in the District of Columbia (for the present, until such new separate army hospital can be built), to be commandered and officered by our patriotic, distinguished, worthy and capable colored surgeons now in the service, and who will be thrown out unless we as are loyal enough and forceable enough to forestall the design of the department to ignore the services of our noble sons, who have shared in the treadmill of toil, through the dangers and the concommitant phases of war, and established their fidelity, valor and skill beyond a reasonable doubt. A like fate awaits our medical corps men. This initial plan of The Bee also embraces a plea for justice to our host of noble colored women who espoused the vocation of nursing with an eye single to entering the service—a vocation which until our noble women had the cold water of refusal thrown on their fervent request to serve, the spirit of the times strongly invited. If complaints are true as to mistreatment of our colored soldiers by white attendants in Government hospitals, surely it must add strength to this appeal to create an opportunity for our surgeons to serve and our women to be gratified, and, above all, for our colored heroes, who will receive the treatment due them, made glorious and sanctified when administered by the skillful brain and tender hands of their own race. JUSTICE VINDICATED The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People through its secretary, John R. Shillady, makes the following statement regarding the final victory in a fight which lasted nearly a decade: Gov. Richard I. Manning's parole granted in January "during good behavior" of Pink Franklin marks the final chapter in a fight begun nearly nine years ago by the National Association to secure the freedom of Franklin, a young Negro farm-hand who was tried in South Carolina during the summer of 1910 for killing a white constable who broke into his cabin at 3 o'clock in the morning to arrest him for breaking an "agricultural contract." This case is of unusual interest as it was the first legal redress case undertaken by the association, then in its infancy. The following facts regarding the case are quoted from the first annual report of the association, published January 1, 1911: In the mustering out of colored surgeons we are facing a stubborn fact that calls for drastic action, prompt and vigorous protest. We should not wait until our brave surgeons comes home to receive their reward in an honorable discharge. We should ask now that the Government retain in service as many of the men as practical to meet the complex needs of the complex period of reconstruction and the emergencies of normal conditions of the future. Shall junior white surgeons be retained and senior colored surgeons bidden to retire? Shall white surgeons, nurses and corps men be salaried by the department from the many millions of dollars that colored service men pay into the War Risk Bureau and our colored surgeons, corps men and nurses be denied the equity in the earning capacity that they are so largely qualified to fill? Is this insufferable condition not the minority being ruled by arbitrary power without a voice in the governing affairs, or without redress, that our President is declaring to the world should be abolished? Is it equity? Is it justice? Is it democracy? Let us estimate that out of 400,000 Negro men in service, that one-half of them are insured in the War Risk at the nominal premium of $5 per month. Then we have 200,000 service men paying $1,000,000 per month to swell the department's funds, or $12,000,000 annually. Let us assume that for at least fifty years some of these insured colored men will be wards of the Government hospitals, and the fact that not a single Negro surgeon, corps man or nurse of the colored race are employed in a professional or earning capacity: It strikes us that we are "asleep at the switch" in this matter. We agree with Sergeant Johnson that this is "taxation without representation.", We will go one better, though, and urge a separate army hospital for Negro service men and ask that a Negro surgeon head the personnel with rank of colonel. We ask for immediate temporary establishment; and legislative appropriation to further the project. "Our legal redress work was inaugurated last summer by the presentation to Gov. Martin F. Ansel of South Carolina of a petition for pardon from the death sentence of Pink Franklin, a plantation hand, who had violated a so-called 'agricultural contract' (these contracts constituting the peonage laws of most of the southern states), and who shot the constable sent to arrest him two months after the offense was committed. This constable, H. H. Valentine by name, broke into Franklin's cabin at 3 o'clock in the morning, with drawn pistol, without announcing that he was an officer of the law, and Franklin shot him in defense of his home. On January 6, 1911, Gov. Ansel commuted Franklin's sentence to life imprisonment, but the association will not cease its efforts to free Franklin from prison." The Bee, therefore, bids the Negro press hearken to the call in the interest of the race, to secure such recognition by petition, legislation or executive act as will establish such separate army hospital under direction of the Secretary of War, and convert into the channels of the race through their earning capacity a portion of this vast sum of money that is paid in salaries to white attendants; whose services Negro soldiers claim is not always what it should be. In furtherance of this proposition, The Bee earnestly calls upon all Negro organizations, churches, lodges, clubs and educational institutions for their united and hearty cooperation. We believe that no time is more propitious than the present, no place more suggestive or advantageous, than the Capital City of Washington, D. C. Let each minister take the matter to his congregation tomorrow. Surely a people could not render a more worshipful service to the Divine Arbiter of Justice than to dedicate a portion of it to uplift the downtrodden black man—the thing that God made! It will be a step in advance in making the position of the race more independent and secure in the embrace of their country's new day. After saving Franklin's lifes the association continued its fight to secure his release from prison.. In this it was aided by certain white citizens of South, Carolina, who did much in the latter stages of the long fight, but who desire to remain anonymous and ask that they merely be known as men, who, "loving justice and having sympathy for the weak and lowly, interestel themselves in the case." It was through the persistent efforts of these men that the final victory was won. After the commutation of Franklin's death sentence to life imprison- The next Congress should abolish all race proscription and every legislative act that inpedes the progress of colored Americans. ment, the next successful step was the "commutation" of life sentence by the then governor, Cole Blease, to ninety-nine years on the Orangeburg county chain gang. The third and last step was Franklin's parole "during good behavior," which makes him practically a free man. Franklin's parole was the last official act of Richard L. Manning's second term as governor of South Carolina. IMPORTANT ASSIGNMENT. Attorney Huver L. Brown has been selected to have complete charge of the certifying of all claims for abatement and refund filed against the Government growing out of assessments made against taxpayers prior to October 1, 1917, under the internal revenue laws. Attorney Brown has charge of the following occupations and articles: Brokers' taxes, capital stock taxes, estate taxes, distilled spirits, oleo, tobacco, pool tables, and theatre taxes. These assessments involve several hundred thousand dollars, and Mr. Brown was selected upon his merit for this responsibility. Mr. Brown is a product of the public schools of the District, a graduate of old M Street High School and of the Law Department of Howard University; also a member of the District and West Virginia bars. W. A. ADAMS ELECTED PRESIDENT OF CHOIR FEDERATION. The District of Columbia Choir Federation, an organization designed to include all musical organizations and musicians of the race; held a most interesting meeting on last Sunday, February 16th, at 4 p. m., at Galbraith. A. M. E. Zion Church, on Sixth Street N. W. Among the choirs represented were the Senior and Junior Choirs of the Second Baptist, Church, Senior and Junior Choirs of St Paul's A. M. E. Church, Christian Endeavor Choir of Galbraith A. M. E. Zion Church, Senior Choir of Florida Avenue Baptist Church, Peace Baptist Church Choir, Senior Choir of Alfred Street Baptist Church, Alexandria, Va., and C. M. E. Church Choir, and Roberts' Chapel M. E. Church Choir, Alexandria, Va. The future of the organization was ably discussed and the object was eloquently stated by Prof. W. A. Adams, the founder, after a general discussion was indulged in by several speakers, who indorsed the movement heartily and entered their names on the roll. Attorney I. E. Williamson spoke in glowing terms of the work and urged a larger interest among musical bodies in this vicinity. The following permanent officers were elected: President, W. A. Adams; vice-president, Attorney I. E. Williamson; secretary, Mrs. Annie Sewell Elliott; treasurer, Mr. William H. Anderson. The following committee on constitution, by-laws and rules was appointed by the president: Chairman, Attorney L. E. Williamson, Prof. Archie Harrod, Mr. Brown, Mrs. Elliott, Mr. Win, H. Anderson, Mrs. Wollard and a young lady of St. Paul's choir. The next meeting will be held, Sunday, March 2nd, at 4 o'clock p. m., at the Second Baptist Church, Third Street between H and Eye Streets N. W. Lieutenant J. N. Cru of the French Army will address Bethel Literary in the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church next Tuesday evening. Lieutenant Cru spent four years at the front, and has first-hand information of the gallantry and accomplishments of the colored troops. Being a Frenchman, he knew these troops only as soldiers and men. Soldiers and their friends are especially invited. Everybody is welcome. Admission free. Mrs. Charlotte Wallace Murray will sing. RELIEF IN THE NEAR EAST. Largely Attended Meeting in the District Building. The District of Columbia Executive Committee of the American Committee for Relief in the Near East held its first meeting last Friday evening at the District Building. District Commissioner W. Gwynn Gardiner, chairman of the committee, presided. Plans were discussed for the conduct of the drive. February 16 to 23. inclusive, for the purpose of raising the District's quota of $150,000 toward the $30,000,000 relief fund being raised throughout the United States. It was agreed to leave the question of selecting the committee on organization to Chairman Gardiner, who will make public later the names of those selected. local committee of colored citizens who will co-operate in the drive have been chosen as follows: A. C. Garner, chairman; Miss Adella C. Parks, secretary; Garnett C. Wilkinson, treasurer; A. L. Taylor, committee on churches; W. Stephens Fuller, committee on fraternities; Miss Valrie C. Chase, committee on schools; F. W. Spriggs, Y. P. S. C. E. and B. Y. P. U.; Mrs. Mary F. Thompson, women's organizations; George W. Cook, executive committee; Miss Sallie Fisher Clarke, special gifts; Benjamin L. Gaskins, business circles; James' A. Cobb, speakers, and William Miner, N. A. A. C. P. At the meeting at the District Building Commissioner Gardiner announced that he would instruct the public schools to co-operate in the drive just as they did in the Liberty Loan, Red Cross and United War Workers' drive. Cablegrams from President Wilson and Herbert C. Hoover indorsing the Near East drive were read. With regard to the $100,000,000 recently appropriated by Congress for the relief of certain famine-stricken sections of Europe, the committee desires to inform prospective contributors to the Near East Relief Fund that disbursements made by Mr. Hoover from the congressional appropriation will in almost every instance be on good security, so that the Federal Government will eventually be able to recoup itself for the money so expended. The $30,000,000 fund being raised by the American Committee for Relief in the Near East, on the other hand, is a gift of charity to starving peoples who will share but meagerly, if at all, in the $100,000,000 disbursement by the government in less remote parts of Europe. ATHLETICS. Y. M. C. A. 41, Camp Humphries 26 On Wednesday night, February 5 the "Y" team went by car to Alexandria and was motored from there to Camp Humphries. Camp Humphries team took the lead by throwing the first three baskets. This put blood in the eyes of the "Y" men, and they together threw 9 baskets during the remainder of the first half, while Humphries threw 3 more, making a total score at the end of the half of 18 to 12. In the second half the "Y" came back full of pep and the ceiling over their goal fairly rained baskets. Brown and Kennard shot 6 each, in the course of the game, while Tibbs shot 7 and a free throw. Smith did his miraculous stunt of the season by playing the whole game through without a single foul—technical or personal. Woodford was substituted for Brice in the few minutes of play and he shot 2 goals quicker than the referee could call time. The final score was 41 to 26. Armstrong and "Y" in Battle Royal Armstrong had her last chance last Saturday night to oust the "Y" from the third place. The game went off like a whirlwind from beginning to end. The score was tied several times in the first half as well as at the end of the same. Amos and Bennett did most of the scoring while Washington figured for the "Y." Armstrong took the lead in the second half by the work of Tyler and Amos, and Armstrong looked good as victors until "Long Boy" Tibbs was switched from center to guard, at which time he shot four baskets in succession from two thirds the length of the field. The final score: Y. M. C. A., 34; Armstrong, 27. The Incorporators pulled off their "pot-forfeiting stunt" on Monday night by being late in showing up for the game against Armstrong. The junior "Y" team continues with a string of unbroken victories despite the fact that they have met the strong teams from Dunbar and Georgetown Community Centers, as well as Bruce and Cook Schools. In addition to the regular team—Turner, Trigg, Jackson, Hudley and Chapman—Davis and Griffith are doing exceptional work. In the wrestling contest on Friday the victors of the bouts were Dixon, Chapman, Griffin and Glascoe. Next Saturday night is set aside for the "big eats" for the basketball teams. Every team will be on the floor when the whistle blows that night. Arnold and Neal have both said that even the Incorporators will be on time, for forfeiting a game is by far an easier job than forfeiting a seat at the table. At 8:30, then, we will all be there.

Here are some of his words on the use of money and resources that might have been written for the present situation in America: I am no more disposed to squander than to stint. Economy makes happy homes and sound nations. Instill it deep. It is not the lowest priced goods that are always the cheapest. I cannot enjoin too strongly upon you a due observance of economy and frugality. Keep an account book and enter therem every farthing of your receipts and expenditures. Promote frugality and industry by example, encourage manufactures, and avoid dissipation. Nothing but harmony, honesty, industry and frugality are necessary to make us a great and happy nation. These statements by George Washington as to wise personal economy might be paraphrased today in the injunction of the National Thrift Campaign—spend wisely, save intelligently, avoid waste—and invest safely.

In Moscow, Russia, coffins are returned after being used. Also, after people get married and have children, the government takes the children. A house divided against itself is hound to fall.

The Stenographers' Anniversary Reception, which was given several weeks ago, was a big success. Odd Fellows' Hall, on M Street, was transformed into a large electrical park, as it were, with lights of all colors flashed on the dancers from the upper balcony. Doc Perry, with an orchestra of eight professional musicians, some of the "Jazzest" New York could afford, was dressed in evening attire, bid by myriads of palms and ferns, the decorations were gorgeous, and in the center of the hall hung a large moon with a mischievous eye, which would wink at intervals. Among the other electrical novelties was the "witch pot" and the "Garden of Allah," for those who desired to spoon rather than dance. The refreshment table was managed, by one of the leading caterers. In addition to the regular program for the evening, Mr. Queensburry Holmes of Conner's, rendered several vocal selections. Mr. Holmes was called to the city especially for this affair. Washington's finest turned out, every one in evening attire, except a few of the boys who had just returned from France, were admitted in their uniforms. Some of the very latest models in evening gowns were displayed by the pretty girls. President Alonzo Collins, Mr. Contee and other members of the Stenographers were congratulated by many representative citizens just after the orchestra played "Home, Sweet Home." By R De Reef Miller. Washington is now in the midst of a big pre-Lentin banquet and party season, and the hotels and caterers of the city have had their hands full for the past several weeks.

Philadelphia Physician Presents to the United States Government and Medical Profession a New But Simple Remedy for the Relief of Dropsy. Dr. John P. Turner of Philadelphia for the past eighteen months has been quietly perfecting a treatment that gives 100 per cent success in the relief of dropsical swellings of the feet, ankles, legs and thighs, and many doctors throughout the United States are now using the remedy. Everybody stands in dread of dropsy. It is a symptom that causes intense suffering and distress when advanced. It is usually the result of heart or kidney disease. We can all picture the poor unfortunate who has been bedfast for several weeks, suffering with Bright's disease. His feet, and legs are swollen and he is so short of breath he can't lie down: He presents a picture of absolute despair. It was at the bedside of just such a case that Dr. Turner resolved to find something that would bring relief to such sufferers. The thing first of all to do was to take away the swelling (remove the water from the tissues). As a physician, he knew about the theory of Osmosis, as taught in chemistry. Working on this, he used a hot concentrated solution of magnesium sulphate locally on the swollen parts, with the steaming and soaking process used, taking an hour for a treatment, the swelling had entirely disappeared in twenty-four hours. During this period there were three treatments. Scores of obstinate cases have been treated, and the swelling completely relieved by Dr. Turner. Many physicians throughout the country are enthusiastic about the treatment. Dr. Turner has presented his discovery to the United States Government for the treatment of returning soldiers from overseas. It is a fact as a result of exposure in the trenches, many of our men are sufferers of Bright's disease, with the accompanying swelling. Dr. Turner was born at Raleigh, N. C. He has practiced medicine in Philadelphia during the past thirteen years. The Doctor is the first colored physician to be appointed medical inspector of public schools of Philadelphia, a position he has held since 1912. He is vice president of the National Medical Association (composed of the colored physicians, dentists and druggists of the United States). This contribution by Dr. Turner to medical science will be a boon to suffering humianity. Many in Tears While Sergeant Coubrough Relates Pitiable Condition of Armenians.

Hours: 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., 8 p.m. to and fought and bled in it. Washingtonians were be given an opportunity last Sunday to hear the tragic story of the Dardanelles campaign. Sergt. Alexander T. Conbrough of the Australian Anzacs, a battle-scarred veteran of that campaign, who has been brought to this city by the American Committee for Relief in the Near East in connection with the District of Columbia Near Eastern Relief Drive, spoke during intermissions at the Belasco, Columbia, Knickerbocker and Rialto moving picture theaters. While in Alexandria, Egypt, in the winter of 1915, waiting for troopships to proceed to Gallipoli, Coubrough witnessed the arrival there of thousands of Armenian refugees, who had been driven from their homes by the Turks. So vividly was the picture of misery they presented photographed upon the mind of the young soldier, that he subsequently offered his services to the American Committee for Relief, in the Near East in connection with its nationwide campaign for a relief fund of $30,000,000. With his own eyes Coubrough saw at Alexandria a Belgian priest, seventy years of age, whose eyes had been gouged out by the Turks because he had complained to the Turkish commander in behalf of little Armenian children with missing limbs. Sergt. Coubrough was with that famous Australian Sixth Battalion, which on April 25, 1915, in the face of greatly superior numbers of entrenched and perfectly equipped enemy forces, stormed the cliffs of Gallipoli, rising a sheer 200 feet from the water's edge, and bristling with artillery and machine guns. Christened with the blood of these daring Australians, this precarious foothold was named Anzac in their honor. In the early morning of August 7, 1915, the Sixth Battalion was ordered to attack a section of the enemy's trench, commanded by a German officer. With characteristic "efficiency" this officer would not permit wounded men to lie out in front of his trench. His standing orders were to slay any soldier lying in No Man's Land who gave any signs of life. Turkish officers commanding other sections of the enemy line were less efficient in this respect, though perhaps more humane. As the Sixth Battalion charged across the open a bullet struck Coubrough in the right arm, sending him spinning to the ground. The attack failed of its objective, and fifty of the Anzaacs, including Coubrough were left lying out between the lines. The sun slowly mounted up toward the meridian, as the wounded in full view of the German officer's trench lay stretched out and suffering. The slightest movement on the part of any of them brought a bullet, and many a shot found its mark during that long day of torture. Three times Coubrough moved in his agony, as his slowly, festering wounds, fevered with the tropical heat and glare of the sun, caused him to writhe. And each time he moved a leaden bullet bade him lie wriggling their way, slowly and "HOLD-TIGHT" HAIR NETS ENJOY AN ENVIABLE NATIONAL REPUTATION AND THE FRIENDSHIP OF MILLIONS OF WOMEN— "HOLD-TIGHT" HAIR NETS ARE MADE OF THE FINEST REAL HUMAN HAIR.

Lovejoy Community Center, Mrs. Rebecca J., Gray, acting community secretary, had as guests on Tuesday evening some of the soldier boys from Walter Reed Hospital, with their good friend and mother, Mrs. Julia Mason Layton. There was a splendid program dancing and a bountiful repast. Dr. George H. Richardson delivered a masterly welcome address Attorney Fountain Peyton, member of the Board of Education, was present and gave a most interesting talk. On the program also were Misses Marie James, Elsie Alston, Laquile Barnes and Master Clarence Chamberlin. A very interesting talk was given by Private Turner, a member of the crack New York regiment. Private Turner, who has lost a limb in the light for democracy, told of some of the experiences of the boys "over there." At the end of the repast the guests were given magazines and prettily tied packages, containing several kinds of home-made cake—the kind that mother used to make. Cake was also sent to the boys who were unable to get out. The evening was voted a success by all present. It was a surprise to know that the secretary of this community center has not only been giving her services free for about one year, but has also been raising the money, for janitor service since September, at which time the janitor was taken off the community center payroll. At the same time three colored community secretaries and as many white secretaries were told that there was no fund from which the expenses of their centers could be paid, but were given the privilege of continuing, if they so desired, on their own responsibility. The white secretaries promptly closed, the colored centers are still running, two of them without any aid whatever from public funds. Lovejoy Center is one of these. Lovejoy community ought to be proud that it has in its midst a woman whose services are needed and desired in so many other directions, and who is yet willing to give her time and services that her community might rank with others of the city.

WOOD, Proprietor BIRTHDAY READING DEPART MENT OF THE BEE. January 11th—Your business will be good; but your love will suffer. Your lover is blue and melancholic, so be careful in your actions, or else he will misunderstand you and take offense at the least remark. You may marry this year, but be sure that he is the right man for you. You deserve a brave, loyal, upright, healthy man. Is he such? No, he is not. Surely he is not the man for you. You want a man that will lift you up, and this man will pay you down so do not plan warring with this lover of yours, as it will be a shame to marry someone else. He will be fair and well built. It will be educated and refined. He will be liberal and of a political and musical turn of mind, and both of you will live in harmony and happi- H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z SUN MERIDOR SURPRISE SATURDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY ness. So you may love your lover, but do not marry. Wait and the right one will come into your life this year, about the latter part of July, and by the close of this year you will marry him for happiness. May 26th—I see you are going to leave the city on a long trip. It will be of a troublesome nature. You are, so to say, running away from trouble. Will you end your difficulties that way? I see that question on your mind, I say "no." Your troubles will not end this year. But God will show you a great light by April, and then the change for the better comes to you. I see you are very much disturbed about a certain young lady. I find she does love you, but in her own way. Attend to your studies and do something of importance, and she will really love you. She is wise and would make you a good wife. So, remember, she wants to be your wife and not only a lover. So study, work, take care of your health and make yourself worthy of her and she will marry you within eighteen months, and you will be proud of her. I see your brother coming home with great honors and many sad experiences to tell. You will make a change soon for the better and have more money. December 19th—I see by your stars that you have married—some three years ago. Your husband is good and true to you. The trouble is, he is not sociable enough, and you expect him to be to you as your friends have been. He will never be that way. Your temperament required you to marry a man entirely different from what your husband is, but you have a good man, and be contented and look for diversion in some other way. You will have five children in all. I see the two you have to be a great blessing to you. The other children will also be a great help to you, but the first two show unusual gifts and great mental powers. It seems you are worried about someone that is away from home. Well, the stars point toward delay in returning, but the next year is luckier for you, and the party may return home. It looks as if you are to have better luck, and you will buy property this year, and luck is on the increase for you. September. 21st — The stars show that you are sick. If that is so, why worry? You are soon to have a turn for the better. I see you are going to New York and will do better and be happier. You will meet again one whom you knew some few years ago, and marry. The evil star Saturn has been the cause of the sudden separation, but the star Venus brings both of you together now for marriage, and the planet Uranus will hasten matters. So, altogether, it will be a hasty but happy marriage. You will enter a line of business that you have not the slightest idea of at this time, and you will do well. Some friends will miss you in Washington but he is not lucky to you. You should know who I mean, as he has a scar on the forehead; and the other man, that will miss you, is the one that tried to make your life so miserable by insinuations and threats. He is governed by Mars, and hence you will know who I mean by his flushed, full-blooded face. These are interesting tests to demonstrate to you the wonderful powers of the stars. You will find them true, as others do. Mention The Bee. Conducted by Elder, J. Bolden at Galilean Fisherman Hall, F St. Between 3rd and 4½ Sts. S. W. "Come, Over in Macedonia and Help Us," I Tim., 3:15. "Brethren, Let us lay aside denomination and save the world for Christ." (Rev. 3:13)—He that hath an ear let him hear what the Spirit say unto the church. We must be filled with the spirit to understand its meanings. (Rev. 12:14)—Follow peace with all men, and holiness without which no man shall see the Lord. No man can understand this, but the that is in the spirit, he that teaches men that we must die before we can get this wisdom is a blind leader, and are leading and teaching men wisdom, have no right to take from God's word or add to it. To teach we must get in Psalms, 25:14: The secret of the Lord is with them that fear Him, and He will show them His covenant. Where are we today? In (Acts, 6:11) Blasphemous, trying to bluff God, telling Him that we want to get back to the old landmark. We THE WOMEN'S HISTORY OF THE WORLD MRS. MARY J. BOLDEN. know that the truth is in a real Christ Nazareth. Religion, not denomination, fixed by man's understanding. We are also in Acts, 6:13: False witnesses before God, telling men and women if you go to that church I will exclude you from my church. It was done when the Seventh-Day Adventists began teaching in District of Columbia. We do not like too much truth. We like John Wesley's religion, fixed by a board of bishops; also, Roger Williams' water-duck religion; calling ourselves D. D. doctors of divinity, when you know that you are telling an untruth, have not been to a college, much less getting the honors. But perhaps you mean D. D. for dead dog: No wonder we cannot save the world. What confidence have sinners in such men? We are also in the Acts, 6:15: Sitting in the council, as teachers (never fasted three days in our lives at once), to pray for an understanding of God's word. All you know is the letter; know nothing about Mark 16:17-20; Psalms, 25:14; John, 14:26. Do not know how to believe in John, 14:14. Dear teachers, let us live to be a pattern of good works, as Peter was when Ananias tried to fool him (Acts, 5:1). Know nothing about the baptism of the Holy Ghost, will not tolerate to be taught of it, so thus we have no power to heal the sick. We are satisfied to stay in the dark and keep others from the true faith, with a handshake in the winter and look for them in the summer. Come to the Galilean Fisherman Hall.

This prohibition business is going to make more trouble in the country than ever was known. The sooner people decide to elect Representatives and Senators who will conform to the will of the people, the better off the country will be. To begin with, the people of the United States should have voted as to whether the country be wet or dry. Then the legislatures could ratify. In the future there will be more moonshine and dope than ever was known in the United States. Taxation without representation is bad policy in every particular. The Belgion Masons will not renew relations with the German Masons, for the reason that the German Masons condoned the acts of their troops, in Belgium.

Hawkins, his sister's husband, and to accompany his remains to Orange, Va. DEATH OF REV. ROBERT HAWKINS. Rev. Robert J. Hawkins, pastor of Trinidad Baptist Church, Bladensburg Road, died at his residence Sunday evening, February 16th, at 8:30 o'clock. Rev. Hawkins had been in failing health for some time from over work. He struggled hard to secure his present church building, and he made many sacrifices, which greatly endangered his health. His funeral took place from the McKinley Memorial Baptist Church Wednesday afternoon at 1 o'clock. Rev. Wood acted as master of ceremonies. He called for the singing of hymn No. 648, "Servant, Thy Work Is Well Done. Rev. Brent read the scripture, and was followed by Dr. Matthews, who led in prayer. Dr. Harvey called for the hymn, "Asleep in Jesus," which was followed by a paper from the Trinidad Baptist Church, of which Rev. Hawkins was pastor. Dr. W. J. Howard read a set of preambles and resolutions from the Ministers' Conference, signed by Revs: Taylor, Loving and Holloman. The Odd Fellows presented a paper giving a brief history of Rev. Hawkins' connection with that organization, and Osceola Lodge, No. 2235. Rev. Dr. Marshall read a paper, and a song by Rev. Garfield, in which the congregation joined in the chorus. Rev. S. G. Lampkins was introduced and delivered one of the most eloquent and scholarly sermons that has been delivered by any minister of the gospel. His eloquence brought tears from the eyes of the people. At the conclusion of his sermon many ministers and friends of the family were introduced, and spoke of the excellent qualities of Rev. Hawkins and his great work in the church, namely, Dr. Howard, Rev. Holloman, Rev. Lewis, Editor W. Calvin Chase and others. The floral contributions were many and beautiful, especially the one from the family and the Ministers' Conference, which was one of the most commanding in the contributions. Rev. Hawkins leaves a wife, two sons and two daughters, and other near relatives. His body was placed on the Southern special and conveyed to Orange, Va., the home of his wife, where it will be interred.

You probably have tried all sorts of remedies on your scalp without getting the desired results, until you have become discouraged and lost confidence in all hair remedies. Thousands of others, like yourself, finally turned to using Seeby's Quinade, and have been so pleased with the result, they would never again waste their time or money using anything else. Quinade is not an ordinary pomade; it is highly medicated and is a real scalp food. Quinade stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long, straight hair. It will make coarse, stubborn hair soft and silky, and easy to put up in the style desired. Quinade will positively allay itching of the scalp; and dandruff, which is the real cause of most hair and scalp troubles. To get best results from the use of Quinade, one should shampoo the scalp every two weeks with Seeby's Quonasoap, a soap made, entirely of pure vegetable oils. Quinasoap lathers very freely and is a thorough cleanser: It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequaled by any other shampoo. Insist on getting Seeby's' Quinade and. Quinasoap, asking for them by their full name. Price is 25 cents each. If your druggist or dealer does not stock these two articles, ask him to obtain them from his wholesaler for you, or send us the price and we will mail them to you direct.
