CHRISTIANIZlNG THE CHINESE.

The Caucasian Christians of Wash

vent the race hatred on Afro-Amer5

crossed the color line.
Mr.. Chen T. Wang is Chinaman.
He is graduate of Yale and has been
prominent in the Y. M. G. A. work in
this country and abroad. For more
than year he was in charge of the
student Y. M. c.. A work among
Cinnamon in the United States, and
was at one time in charge of the work
among Cinnamon in Japan.
Recently he was appointed interna-
tional secretary for China, and was
housed in the dormitory Of the Y M.

known the occupants of rooms on the
same floor with that of Wang i'm
mediately made protest against the
introduction Of men of other races into

CAPITAL CAUCASIAN
CHRISTIANITY.

The Washington Herald, in a recent
issue, has long-winded editorial on
the goodness of the people of the
Capital City and among other things
says that the lives of the residents
are in keeping with the highest ten
cts of Christianity.
This may be true in some respects,
but when the color-line is reached
the Caucasians of Washington do not
follow the tenets of the meek and
lowly Nazarene. In no city in the
United States is there more bitter
race hatred, and there is less reason
for it than in many other places.
While there are many bad Afro
Americans, the percentage of intelli-
gence, refinement and wealth is large,
but this seems to infuriate the alleged
Caucasian Christians and cause. them
to hate their Afro-American brethren
the more bitterly.
The Caucasian hypocrisy has been
strikingly shown on several occasions
within the past year. In one fashion
able street, there is a block contain.
ing many fine residences. Among
| them, however, are a few shacks oc-
cupied by low-grade Afro-Americans
but the aristocratic whites and lowly
blacks have lived in harmony for
many years. ~ -
Last year a wealthy Afro American,
with an income of about $4,000 per
annum, purchased one of the fine
houses and moved into it. The gentle
man is a man of the highest charac-
ter, his wife is a lady of refinement,
graduate of one of the leading
American universities and also a
graduate Of famous German conser-
vatory of music, in fact the entire
family is infinitely superior in every
! respect to any white family in the
block, but the Caucasian Christians
| became indignant at what they called
a Negro INVASION" and began to
move away one by one and now they
have all gone, many who owned their
own home having sacrificed them to
get away from Afro-American Chris
tians.
And by the way, it was committee
Of Washington Christians which de-
creed that no Affo-Americans should
be permitted to take part in the Sun
day school parade in that city last
year..
Few Caucasian Christians live up to
the highest tenets. of Christianity

REGISTER NAPIER.

President Taft made an excellent
appointment when he named Hon. J.
e. Napier, of Tennessee, as Register
of the United States Treasury.
Mr.. Napier is lifelong Repub-
lican. He has held many responsible
political places in his native state,
and now, as fitting climax to his ca
reer as broad-minded, honest, cour-
ageous citizen, is given a high honor
In this instance it is a case of the
office seeking the man. President
Taft has offered a number of impor-
tant places to Mr.. Napier, but he has
always declined, and in accepting the
Registership he has taken it wholly
for the honor, for he must really sac
rltice great business interests in or
der to give his services to the gov
ernment. He was president of a. bank
in his home city, and it was necessary
to resign before he could become Reg
lister.
Mr.. Napier is a man of wealth. In
addition to his dollars he has a price
less jewel in the person of Mrs. Ma
pier, daughter of the late Hon. John
Mercer .Langston. Mr.. Napier is a de-
voted husband, and, like many other
noted men, ascribes much Of his sue

Recently there was melting of Sal
walton Army workers of the country
at Washington, D. c., and work among
Afro-Americans was suggested.
A storm of protest went up from
the officers from the South when a
Northern delegate proposed that white
officers be required to conduct meet
ings among Afro-Americans. They
virtually declared they would not: las
sumo such duties, with the result that
the committee appointed to. draft a
plan for the new work was discharged
before it had time to commence work
and the conference adjourned with
out further allusion to the proposed
work.
Commander Beoth said: It would
probably be just as we'll to segregate
the races. The Negroes are badly in
need of such help as we can give
them, and I am confident we shall &C.

welfare"

is a positive advance over anything in
the line of political appointments ever
made by Republican President

taken as an encouragement and an ap-
probation of their progress, and this
just policy shall be pursued"
President Taft has appointed other
Afro-Americans to good places in the
Government service, but the import
ance of the Lewis appointment lies in
the fact that it is a higher place than
has ever before been given to one Of

| Augusta, Me.-Ancient Pentagoet,
better known as Castfne, situated on
the, eastern side Of Penobscot bay and

historic spots in Maine today. It has
preserved the well-marked traces OF

settlement has within it's borders so
many earthworks and old forts. Fore
most among the earthworks is Fort
George, situated on the high land in
the center Of the peninsula. 1t was
! built by the British in June, 1873; and
was named Fort George in. honor Of
his majesty, George III. The fort is
tetragonal in form with a bastion at
each of the four angles. The bastion
where was located the magazine was
fully occupied by it, the entrances be-
ing made of arch passages of brick,
which may be seen today, covered
with mortar, and over. them layer
of logs, with a heavy covering OF

According to tradition and history,
it was from these same barracks that
Gen. Peleg Wadsworth escaped when
held prisoner in 1880, after being
captured by the English at his home
