which supplies most of the literature
used by the denomination.
Unusual interest was manifested in
political affairs on account Of the split
IN the Republican party which resulted
In a third candidate for the presidency
In the person of ex-President Theodore
Roosevelt The three cornered fight re-
suited in a national triumph for the
Democratic party.
The completion and opening Of the

ment at Mound Bayou, Miss, the 18th
Of November was the most noteworthy
achievement Of the race along bust

ital invested and plan and scope as a
purely commercial undertaking.
Some Of the more important events in
December were the complimentary din
ner to Bishop Alexander Walters in
New York city by leading citizens from
IN and out of the city in recognition Of
his leadership in national, state. church
and community affairs In the interest
of the race. DR.. Booker T. Washing

In Washington the Jeanes fund board
met at the White House. at which
meeting appropriations were made for
rural schools for 1913.
The Jeanes fund was one Of $1,000
600, bestowed by Miss Anna 7. Jeanes,
= a Quaker of Philadelphia. The be-
quest grew out Of the representation
that the crying need Of the colored
children Of the south was better schools
In the back country districts; that the
terms should be extended beyond the
few weeks allowed by the local author
tiles and that properly equipped teach
ers should be provided.
Miss Jeanes responded to DR.. Booker
7. WashingtOn's recommendation by
giving the 100000 for the relief Of
these poor children in the rural regions
Of the southland. The interest on the
fund amounts to $4,000 per annum,
and very satisfactory progress is being
made in the work Industrial features
are being introduced along with the
academic training. and education OF
the most practical sort is being more
and more generally diffused through

is refreshing at least to call the roll OF
eminent cOI0red Americans who have

The record shows that up to and In
GLIDING the Taft administration there
have been seven eminent colored men
who have held the post as minister
namely. Z. ID. Bassett of Pennsylva-
mia, John Mercer Langston Of Vir-
ginia, E. w. Thompson Of New York,
Frederick Douglass Of Washington,
John S. Durham of Pennsylvania, w.
F. Powell Of New Jersey and the pres
ent minister. Henry w. Furniss Of In

George W. Williams Of Ohio was
nominated for the post at one time,
but the senate did not confirm him
Grover Cleveland in his second admin
lstration appointed Henry s. Smythe,

reuoe OF S1odiolus
LAWYER Rufus L. Perry Of Brooklyn,
who created a big sensation in religious
circles the early part Of the fall by re-

tention to set aside the Darwtnian the

In discussing the formation and ORR
gin Of the world Mr.. Perry says the
deductions Of the scientists are based
on matter inferior to the Talmud. The
fact that the book Is published in the
French language has caused as much
surprise as the subject matter which 1t
contains. That the object OF the au-
thor in sending out this little volume IL
not to win converts to Judaism from
