You may know it, or you may not; but the truth is. that Queen
Quality Shoes are manufactured by the largest Shoe factory in the
whole United States. The Queen Quality factory makes more
shoes, and sells more shoes than any other. This should be the
best evidence that they sell good goods. If the shoes we're not all
that they are represented to be, the Queen Quality people could
not do the business they are doing. We have handled the Queen
Quality shoes for five years, and our trade in them has grown
steadily with that of the factory. Now, If you have a hard foot to
fit come in and let us try to fit you. If we do not happen to have
in stock your size and width, we can get it for you in three or four
days and it will not mean any extra cost to you either. The prices
run from $3.50 to $500. We have shoes to fit your whole family.
and prices to fit your pocket book.

The Howard Colored Orphan asy-
lum, now located in it's new home in
Kings Park. New York, has had a
most successful year. 1t has cared for
24S children, representing thirty-two
states in the Union. Besides Superin-
tendent and Mrs. James II. Gordon,
there are forty-five other employees
teachers, matrons. housekeepers and
other oaretakers.
The institution is supported by vol
untary contributions from among the
several churches Of both white and
colored people in Greater New York.
The board OF trustees is also composed
of members Of both races. Upon the
trustees largely rests the responsibility
of securing funds with which to carry
on the work
The children are given a good ele-
mentary education. as well AS being
taught several trades. such as carpen-
try, drawing, domestic science, shoe
making. basketry, agriculture and dali
rying. Other subjects are to be added
as the children show capacity to ad
vance. Vocal music is one Of the spe-
cial features of the educational work
Of the institution.

pia" is a classic and is not written in
the dialect which characterizes most
poems on the Negro. 1t gives reca-
pitulation of the deeds of the race in
all ages.
1t begins:
Thou sovereign queen of Arrics sunny
strands.
smite my Tyre to sing thy praise unsuns
In strains far sweeter than seraph's
bands
A lay deep in my bosoms core Is sprung
Fair queen, although my years yet be
young,
Deep thoughts and musings of thy history
Where odes and fiery epics long have
hung.
Live centuries in my immortal soul
And strike sweet Lydian measures on my
harp Of gold!
This ode consists of Dineteen Spen-
cerian stanzas, and into 1t the author
pours his soul. A perusal Of it thrills
one with pride for his race and ami
mates his soul to put forth greater eff
forts.
He pays the following beautiful
women:
I call thee angel of this earth
For angel true thou art
In noble deeds and sterling worth
And sympathetic heart.
!, therefore, seek none from afar
For what they might have been.
But sing the praise of those which are,
That dwell on earth with men.
This young versifier of the higher
life Of the race is paid the following
tribute by William Stanley Braith-
waite in the introduction to "The Syl-
van Cabin" ITO this l can only add
that, good as these are, they give us
hope for better from one who ought
certainly to go on and upward" The
Washington Star says: Though rep
resentative of the race which has Civ
en- Paul Laurence Dunbar to the world,
he strikes an even higher note than
that lamented pioneer in the field Of
Afro-American poetry. There Is no
suggestion of the plantation in these
verses, which are unidentifiable as the
output of one born in Mississippi"

Ode to Ethiopia Gave e. S. Jones His
Passport to Freedom.

Passport to Freedom.
Edward Smyth Jones. native of
Mississippi, bids fair to rival Paul
Laurence Dunbar as writer of verse,
Mr.. Jones has long cultivated the muse
and gained much public notice year
or so ago when he was arrested as a
vagrant while trying to enter Harvard
university. 1.-The Ode to Ethiopia is
a historical epic and is regarded as
being responsible for his being releas-
ed from the Jail at Cambridge. Mass.
where he was confined after being ar
rested at Harvard. Even Judge Ar
thur p. Stone, who dismissed the
charge of vagrancy against him, said,
Gentlemen. l do not wish to be judge.
but this is better poetry than | find in
the current magazines"
The Boston American called this
poem "his passport TO freedom while
the Boston Globe said of him and his
lode to Ethiopia" lone of those gen
fuses who. like Paul Laurence Dunbar
and Alexander Dumas, occasionally
comes forth to proclaim the intellectual
equality of the Negro race" Mr..
Jones is the author Of book of poems
called "The Sylvan Cabin" with an
introduction by w. Stanley Braith-

SPORTING NOTES.

The new United States League
which started this season is finding
pretty hard sled 1ing. Two teams
have dropped OUT and all the rest
seemed TO be glad of the excuse of
'rearranging the schedule" for a
layoff. This has been a hard spring
for even the older organizations.
Watch those Athletics! With
Bender, Coombs and Plank all back
in form they will soon overcome the
lead OF the White SoX.
1t creates quite some excitement
now when the Giants lose a game, al
most as much as it does when
Brooklyn or Scranton wins.
''Ty" Cobb is again leading the
American league in batting and will
probably not be displaced this year.
And Honesdale has a series on
with Carbondale! Suppose 1t will
end in the usual way but hope they
will win one game to make it little
interesting.
,Hawley won their first game of
the season on Memorial Day and
Aldenville took a double-header from
a Honesdale team.

Perhaps some of The Citizens
readers have a dear little baby in
their home like there is represented
in this picture. You think the world
of him or her as the case may be
and would protect your darling baby
brother or sister from harm or
shield her from danger. You think
there is none like the pet of the
house and take every precaution
that she does not get in draft or
get sick. But have you screen or
netting over her crib so the house
fly cannot bring disease germs to
her? Flies spread tuberculosis,
diphtheria, typhoid fever, scarlet
fever, and feyers of babies by carry
ing disease from one to another.
You love your baby, so does the
flies. They like to kiss your darling
pet, walk all over his face and per-
chance get in his mouth. The flies
feet carry germs of all diseases and
they are now passing over your
baby's face, leaving death germs.
Oh! mother, why did you allow the
flies to stay in the house? Why did
you allow them to come in? Don't
let the flies crawl over the baby's
mouth and swarm upon the nipple
OF his nursing bottle.

Series OF Five Games With Homes
dale Team.

Manager Murtha received a letter
yesterday from Manager Van Ais
tyne, of the Honesdale team, regard
ing a series of games between the two
teams. A series of five games has
been decided upon, the first to be
played at lHonesdale on Saturday,
June 90, and it is probable that the
third game will be played in Homes
dale July Fourth. No arrangements
have been made as yet for the play
ing of the fourth or fifth game of
the series, but it has been decided
that If the fifth game is necessary to
decide the supremacy between the
two teams the game will be played
on neutral ground, probably Lake Lo-
dore.
There has always been keen rival
ry between Honesdale and Carbon

ing series is sure to cause great en-

the days of the old association team.

ARKANSAS NARROWLY MISSES
TITAkIC'S FATE
Strikes Submerged Rocky Ridge on
Maine Coast and Is Saved Only
by Her Double Bottom.

Washington, ID. c., June 5.-In-
formation that the new dreadnaught
Arkansas has met with an accident
on her trial trip off the Maine coast
has reached the Navy Department.
The details are not yet available but
it is thought that the ship is not in
danger.
Although the naval Board of In
spection headed by Captain Fechte-
Ter is aboard the Arkansas the ves-
sci is still in the hands of the New
York Shipbuilding Company, of Cam
den, n. j. The ship is being navi-
gated over the trial course by en-
ployes of the builders and any dam
age sustained in the accident will
have to be borne by the contractor
The Arkansas scraped along the
rock ridge for forty-five feet. The
ship is leaking but not beyond the
control of her pumps. Probably the
double bottom alone saved the big
dreadnaught from sinking.
Later reports to the Navy Depart
ment say that while entering Penob-
scot Bay and when she was suppos-
ed to be in the channel, the Arkan-
sas touched the reef. The accident
occurred this morning. Captain
Fetcheler reports the damage prob
ably small and the leaks light. The
inspection board is considering
whether the trial shall be resumed.
The Arkansas had two mishaps.
She is reported to have gone
aground in the Two Bush channel
Sunday, but apparently got off and
was proceeding early today when
she ran on the ledge of rock.

Thinks Government Should Help
China.
Especial to The Citizen.)


Washington, June Captain
Robert Dollar, president of a great
shipping line on the Pacific Coast,
came to Washington to plead before
the Senate Committee on Inter
oceanic Canals for free canal tolls
and for protection against railroad
owned ships, which have hurt the in
dependent shipping interests of the
coast by reason of their keen COM
petition. Captain Dollar also made
a visit to the State Department to
plead for recognition of the Chinese
Republic.
The progress of China under its
new government" said Captain Dol
lar, " is certain to be marvelously
rapid. There is a wonderful amount
of work to be done in the construc-
tiOn of railways, opening mines,
building of docks and harbor works,
and in other great public works.
Very much of the business incident to
this development must come to the
United States. | think our govern
ment should extend a helping hand
to China. Dr. Sun, who voluntarily
relinquished the presidency of China
proved himself, in my opinion, to be
a really great man. He is honest
patriotic and unselfish, and he will
be ready to help, If he is needed, in
the upbuilding of the Republic"
