100 PER CENT. ILL|TERATE
AFRICAN MISSIONARY TELLS OF
CONDITIONS IN DARK CONTl-
NENT UNDER PORTUGUESE
RULE PORTUGUESE ALSO
DENSELY IGNORANT.

New York.-Miss Martha Drum
mer, missionary to Quessua. Melange,
Angola. Africa, addressed a st. Marks s
the progressive natives a few eve
nings ago. Miss Drummer read and
sang in the native language. She then
gave at length her experiences with
the curious customs, ignorance and
superstition of the people. Her work
is with and for the natives of Africa,
supervised by Bishop Hartsel of the
M. E. church Her field of labor is on
the Portuguese possessions. Notwith-
standing the fact that the Portuguese
nation is more than seventy per cent.
illiterate, it holds complete control
over the natives, who are one hundred
per cent. illiterate.
The Portuguese hold Angola as
dumping ground for their criminal
class All the thieves, murderers and
other Objectionable citizens are exiled
to Angola where they are given free
range with the native Africans as
their prey. Thus, added to their bur-
dens the missionary and the natives
have this extra load of sin to bear.
Miss Drummer told her story with
earnestness and zeal. In some in
stances her stories were amusing; at
other times they were heart-rending.
She told of when she was leaving this
country, six years ago, how an old
colored woman, having heard that AT
rica was a dark country, brought her
five little pieces of candle to light her
way This incident she wrote back to
a lady who sent her one hundred dol
lars to help in the work.

LAWYERS KICK
Wickersham Is Making Fight
to Save His Assistant.
LEWIS WAS ELECTED MEMBER
OF BAR ASSOCIATION AND
WICkERSHAM Is WORKING TO
PREVENT EXPULSION OF THE
NEGRo-cAsE HAS BEEN RE-
FERRED.

Washington. - Attorney General
Wickersham is seeking to prevent the
American Bar association from GUST
ing W. H. Lewis, his negro assistant.
from membership. Lewis was elected
about year ago, but the executive
committee of the association, when 1t
met here January 4, passed resolu-
tion resembling the election.
The bar association membership has
been in turmoil ever since the election
OF Lewis, but the facts have just come
to light through the fight the attorney
general has undertaken on behalf OF
his assistant Lewis was elected at a
meeting of the executive committee be-
tween the annual meetings OF 1910
and 1911, the election having been
perfunctory matter as Lewis was in
dorsed by a majority or the local coun-
ell of Massachusetts,.
1t is said his application did not
state that he was an assistant attor-
ney general. His color was not the
subject of inquiry.
The membership committee was
preparing to issue It's year book for
1911-12 when member of the COM
mittee sought information as to the
identity of ''W. H. Lewis of Boston" a
new member. When it developed that
Lewis was the negro assistant attor-
ney general storm of protest was
heard, and the year book was held up.
The case was referred to the executive
committee which adopted resolution
at its January meeting resembling the
vote by which Lewis had been elected.
At the time of the meeting here 1t
was rumored that some such action
was to be taken, but members OF the
committee denied it. Assistant Attor-
ney General Lewis was questioned at
the time, but he disclaimed having
knowledge of an attempt to oust him
1t is understood here the case has
been referred to the general counsel
of the association, which will meet In
Milwaukee next August. This council
is made up of one member from each
state. Lewis placed his case in the
hands of Mr. Wickersham, and he has
written to all of the 4,700 members
protesting that Lewis was legally
elected, and that the executive com
mittee was without warrant in rescind
ing the election.
1t is claimed that negro was never
before elected as a member of the bal
association. Members seeking to bal
Lewis from membership claim the as
sociation is social in character, ano
some have gone so far as to declare
they will resign If negroes are ad
| mitted.

RENEWING USEFULNESS OF THE
CARPET.

Many a good carpet becomes shabby
and worn looking without being ac-
tually old. The figures lose their
brightness, and the grain is rough and
unkempt looking. Here is a simple
process by which the carpet or rug
will once more look presentable and
as good as new:
Cut an ounce of yellow soap into
small squares, and with them make a
lather with a pint of clear boiling wa
ter. Add to this lather a quart of hot
water to which has been added an
ounce of borax. Place the mixture on
the stove and bring to boil. Remove
1t, set to cool, and when quite cold
add one ounce each of alcohol and
ammonia and half an ounce of glycer-
inc. Wipe over only small portion
of the carpet at time and rub vigor-
ously with a clean flannel dipped into
the mixture until, finally, all the spots
are removed ard the color revived.
The result will be surprising, for the
change and improvement are remark
able.
Another good method is to shave
half a pound of soap and boil it in a
quart of water until dissolved, then
add a gallon of hot water and one
ounce of salts of tartar. Mix thorough
ly. Use a stiff brush and scrub the
carpet with the mixture, which should
lather freely and clean the carpet
without making 1t very damp. AS you
clean breadth wipe it hard with a
cloth wrung out of cold water. II
there is much green in the carpet put
cup of vinegar in the cold water.
This quantity will clean large car
pet, and the process is approved by
those of long experience.
A housekeeper who has tried the fol-
lowing method says this fluid is sue
cess for cleaning a carpet: Put one
cake of white soap. two tablespoons
each of ammonia, borax and sal soda
into a saucepan. Boil 1t until 1t is dis
solved, then add soft water enough to
make three gallons and let it come to
a boil, and then set aside to COOL
When cold apply to the carpet with a
stiff brush, rinse the carpet with a
cloth wet in cold water and wrung out
partially dry.
Before washing rugs lay them out
straight and brush with a stiff, dry
scrubbing brush. You will be surprised
at the amount of dirt to come out in
this way, which is much better than
shaking or beating them.

Thief NEGRO PLEADS

Alton, Ill.-Gus Tucker, negro,

felony, pleaded the unwritten law

stole chickens from the negro who
stole his wife and that he did not
think he had done wrong. Judge Crow
and the states attorney changed the
charge to petty larceny and Tucker

ART OF DRESSING WELL.

A famous designer of women's
gowns was asked what she thought
was the secret of being we'll dressed.
The answer: knowing what to leave
Off"
If women digested this simple ad-
vice there would be fewer grotesque
human fashion plates to rouse laugh.
Since the vogue of the tailor-made girl
there are not SO many caricatures In
street attire. 1t is when she is In her
festal war paint that many a woman
shows ignorance.
A host at large dance said when
leaving the receiving line: Don't
women own mirrors any more? No
one who saw herself first would ever
be seen in some of the costumes here
tonight
1t often seems to the onlooker that
unseeing eyes. Otherwise they would
lack courage to sally abroad.
The fat woman, for instance, cannot
realize how she looks or she would
prune her taste for gay colors and
broken lines, big figures and shiny
fabrics, huge hats and picture effects.
She would know enough to avoid all
but studied simplicity.
Here is a list of things to avoid:
Motor bonnets, picture hats, ultra
short skirts, girlish frocks and rakish
angles for the woman of uncertain age.
Such are for the young only.
Dutch colors, French necks and
nard lines for the girl with the
OF q
gown for the woman whose neck has
shriveled with age and lack of mas
sage.
Loud figures, crude colors, eccentric
tines for a girl whose type is not ultra
-efined. There are some women who
can carry off the bizarre; most women,
however, cease to look lpdylike.
Hats to the ears or hair to the eye
brows by any one past her first flush
of beauty, particularly if she is rotund
of figure and square and short of face.
The garb of the stage for the draw
ing room BELLE She may look beautiful,
but she does not look smart, and runs
the risk of looking what she is not.
The last freak of fashion for the girl
who must hang on to her clothes. The
one chance for the modest income is
unobtrusive dressing that cannot be
dated.
High heels, frills and f1uffs on the
street and severe attire in the draw
ing room, where frills are in place.
Anything that is too ultra for the
community where it is to be worn.
What goes without comment in the
foyer of the Metropolitan opera house
or on the avenues of our great cities
scandalizes small town.
Overexaggeration, especially when it
verges on lack of refinement. The too
scant or too low cut or tso transparent
gown is bad form, though many well
born and bred women offend in this
way.
Hair too much curled by the girl
with raven locks-the kinks give an
ordinary air; an overdressed head by
all who aim at smartness and dis
heveled head by anyone short of a
beauty with wavy tresses.

The children of Mrs. Cora Joseph
feel that they will never be able to
thank sufficiently the many, many
friends who at the time of the greatest
sorrow they have ever known gave so
many expressions of sympathy and did
so many little acts of kindness in an
attempt to alleviate the awful pain.
The same is true of the friends from
all parts of the country who sent their
messages; and to the ministers who
came and spoke consoling words.
And such a wilderness of flowers !
Some coming from Kansas and Mis-
souri-they were a reinforcement of
all that had been said and done. Kind
friends, they were appreciated, for we
feel that it was the last loving tribute
you could pay to the sweetest charac.
