by Miss Charlotte Ensley, once again
demonstrated their unsurpassed abil-
ity to entertain.
Dania hall was the place and Miss
LeOta " Wilson of Kansas City, Kan
sas., niece of Mr.. and Mrs. Jackson,
the guest of honor.
The hall was superbly decorated
with garlands of smilax. Hanging
from the ceiling were baskets filed
with flowers and trailing vines. Pump
kin blossoms frightened the green,
while autumn's reminder. the stately
golden glow, bowed welcome from
every nook and corner.

A NEGRO PATENT Examiner.

Henry E. Baker of Mississippi is
the only representative of the colored
race in the examining corps of the
United States patent Office. Mr.. Bak-
er is second assistant examiner in
Pond, who has the classes of bridges,
hosting, excavating, hydraulic engin-
eering and metallic building struc-
lures, which includes, of course, struc-
tural iron working and all allied arts.
Mr. Baker, in addition to his duties in
the patent Office, is engaged in the
compilation of a work in which he
will be absolutely unique He is the
only individual who has complete
list of all the patents issued to ne
groes, and it is his purpose to embody
them into a work of some sort, prob
ably book, giving brief history CT
each inventor, the nature of the inven-
tion and the amount of success in the
field of invention achieved by mem
bers of his race. The compilation of
these statistics has necessarily been
an arduous one, and has required an
exhaustive correspondence with ap-
plicants and inventors in all parts of
the globe. Naturally. many colored
inventors fail to offer any evidence as
to the race to which they belong. as
that is not a requirement made of an
applicant for patent. But through the
courtesy of attorneys and the aid of
his fellow examiners, Mr. Baker has
been able to gather together what he
considers is practically complete
catalogue of inventions by colored
persons.

ABUSE MAKES NO CONVERTS.

The Incorporate and oftimeS over
drawn statements of the men who are
attempting to create sentiment
among negroes for what they term
manhood rights, do their cause a
world of harm. Bishop Walters, who
is a leader in that movement, is re-
ported to have said at a meeting in
Boston this week, that President Taft
was weak because he had paid no at
tention to the prevalence of lynching.
The fact that the administration of
law rests in the hands of the state
rather than the national government,
makes it certain that Bishop Walters
is either playing petty politics or that
his enthusiasm has blinded him to
fact. Especially unfortunate is this
class of utterance at this time when
all parts of the country, even the
southern states included, are waking
up to the danger of lynch law.
1t is characteristic of such men as
Walters that they fail to recognize
their impotence, but with whips of
straw they try to drive the white peo-
pie of this country into conformity
with their ideas. They lack common
sense. Much learning has made them
mad. BY the next generation they
will be accounted mountebanks who
for sordid advantage sowed strife
when peace was the more logical and
the easier way.
We fully agree with Bishop Walters
in that we should strive for every
right with all our might, but we un-
uualifiedly oppose the methods by
which he seeks these rights. A blow
for a blow and curse for curse
might be proper where two contest
ants are on an equality; but with the
white people of this country holding
the whip hand, the negro is silly who
takes recourse to abuse.

NO NEED TO STOP WORK.


When your doctor orders you to
stop work, it staggers you. Il can't, .
you say. You know you are weak, run
down and failing in health, day by
day, but you must work as long as
you can stand. What you need is
Electric Bitters to give tone, strength
and vigor to your system, to prevent
breakdown and build you up. Don't
be weak, sickly on ailing when Elec-
trio Bitters will benefit you from the
first dose. Thousands bless them for
their glorious health and strength.
Try them. Every bottle is guaran-
teed to satisfy Only soc, at all drug
gists.
