Harrisburg, Pa.-The observance of
Peter Ogden day by the Grand United
Order Of Odd Fellows recently was
general among the members of the or
der throughout the country. The cele-
bratioH held in this city was noted for
the tmeliness of the program Of ex-
ercises and the prominence Of the
speakers, among whom was District
Deputy Grand Master Robert j. Mel
son Of this state. Mr.. Nelson's ad-
dress was listened to with close atten-
don throughout its delivery.
He was warmly greeted by the broth
erhood, and he In part said:
'That illimitable, silent, never rest.
ing thing called Time, rolling, rushing
on, swift, silent like an all embracing
ocean tide, has spanned threescore and
ten years since Peter Ogden planted
the banner Of Odd Fellowship on the
soil Of this country, and to its princi-
pies we again affirm our allegiance as
we assemble at this shrine.
"As I stand before you on this occa-

founder Of our great and splendid fra

ton resting upon us, the followers Of
Peter Ogden, who reared on thic soil
the great organization that has been
OF ineaIcuiable benefit to our race.
"Peter Ogden was Of American birth
and was self educated. He early felt
the importance Of an honorable Life

A woman who writes great deal

merated the seven mistakes Of matri-

This recalls the faithful Italian serv-
ant who called at nearby house and
said to the owner. "There are twenty
seven reasons why my master cannot
visit you today. The first Is, he is
dead"
And the bachelor crouch at our el-
bow says there may be seven mistakes

DIR. GILLIES VISITS SOUTH.

Orleans.

DR.. Andrew Gillies has returned af-
ter visit tothe Southland. His SUBJ
ject last Sunday was "The Future of
the Black Man" He is pleased with
the progress of the race in the South
and says "that they are doing great
work at Tuskegee, and the various
schools" The Southwestern Chris
tian Advocate says:
"Dr. Andrew Gillies, pastor of Hen
nepin Avenue Methodist Episcopal
Church, Minneapolis, Minnesota.
spent a few days last week in New
Orleans, much to the delight of his
new acquaintances as we'll as to
friends who knew him before. Doctor
Gillies says he was on trip seeking
rest, but this is how he put in his
time: On Sunday morning, he
preached in our St. Charles Avenue
Church; on Sunday afternoon he ad-
dressed the Y. M. c. A. and later at
tended the cornerstone laying of the
Church of the Redeemer, the new
Italian Church on Esplanade avenue !;
at night he preached at Wesley
Church, the Rev. J. L. Wilson, pas
tor; Monday night he lectured before
the Y. M. c. A.; Tuesday noon, he
preached at New Orleans University
and Tuesday night lectured in our St.
Charles Avenue Church. The Doctor
made a great impression. He is a
clear thinker, an eloquent, simple and
powerful orator. The Times-Demo-
crat gave generous space to DR.. Gil
lies utterances and concerning his
lecture at the Y. M. c. A. said: "Dr.
Gillies' Interpretation of the human
nature and the meaning of the dis
covery of the divine spark in every
man, fascinated and impressed even
the most careless auditor. His style
of delivery possesses great human ap-
peal, virile force of logic and elo-
quence, combined with the magnetism
of unusual dramatic powers"
The following is fro mthe Tuske-
gee Student:
"Dr. Andrew Gillies, pastor of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, Mime
apolis, Minnesota, visited the school
on Thursday, February Goth, remain
ing until the following morning. He
was taken into the several depart
ments of the school. On Thursday
evening at the regular prayer service,
he spoke most beautifully and help
fully to the student and teaching
body. His remarks were thoroughly
enjoyed by all who had the pleasure
of hearing him"
DR.. Gillies is one of the staunch
friends of the Negro and we are proud
to know that he counts among his
friends many of the leading men of
our race, both at home and abroad
He rightfully deserves that respect
which he has gained because he is out
spoken and active against race pre-
judice and discrimination.
During his trip he visited Cannon
Theological College, and Clark Univ.
Atlanta, Ga, Morristown Normal and
Industrial College, Morristown, Tenn
and Meridian Academy, Meridian,

His team was almost all in. but Allen was determined to secure second money, and the tired, foot sore and weary dogs. with their feet badly frozen, were urged on to the finish.
 Aver and his team were still fur ther behind and would be several hours after Allen in reaching Nome.
 The terrible storm which ragged the first few days of the race caused the men and dogs terrible suffering and they were all forced to take shelter. but started out again as soon as the storm let up enough to make travel possible.

WANT OUR. SEAL 0h
 MICHIGAN ISLANDS
Fish Commissioner Tells Commercial Club It is Not Practical to
 Stock Island

ONTONAGON. Mich. April IS In reply to a request made by the To- cal Commercial Association. the Commissioner of Fisheries of the Un-- ited States government has informed the Association that fur seal would not live in fresh water and that further were the government to ship seal to the Isle Royal, as requested by the Commercial Association. the fisheries of the lake would be en- dangered, because the seal would con sume thousands of fish now caught by the fishermen, and which form a large part of the commercial life of that section.
 The commissioner. however, wrote the club that the government would be glad to furnish foxes for the is lands and believed that the barren islands of the lake could be used more profitably by fox raisers than to stock them with seal.
 The islands are uninhabited and are great rock barren wastes. and it is hoped to make some use of the desolate places. The fox raising prop osition is being considered and may be adopted by the people here as the only solution to the proper use of the Isle Royal.

WASHINGTON, April 18-President Wilson today fatly refused the pro- posal from President Huerta, of Mex ico. that the salute to the American flag be simultaneous on the part of the United States and Mexico. Hu-. erta, who is anxious to extricate him.. self from his present position with as much grace as possible, has in sisted that the salute be mutual, but President Wilson demands that the salute for the insult to the flag shall be made without any qualifications on the part of the Mexicans and shall be made quick.
 The determined stand of the pres ident has met the hearty cooper ation of all members of congress ir- respective of party utilization and they are standing behind him, ready at a moments notice to authorize the use of the armed forces of the gov ernment to bring the Mexican govern ment to time.

BERLIN, Germany. April 1S.-The possibility of war between the United States and Mexico has changed the situation here, according to the off cial newspapers of the German gov ernment. It is pointed out by them that if war follows in the present trouble between the two countries that the American government would capture and hold all territory occu- pied by them in the fight and would retain it, thus depriving European investors of the security of the mon ey advanced by them to the Mexi- can government
 It is believed here that the Ger man bankers with interests in Mex ico have joined with the French and English bankers in urging their gov ernments to bring pressure to bear upon Huerta to yield to the demands of America, as war between the two republics would result in but one end and would mean money loss to the bankers.
