E. 8. FAIRweATHER's PLUCK,
How a Now York Business Man Con-
queeed His Diffieultjes "

How Now York Business Man Con-
qusred His Difficulties. "
bIr. Elwyn b. Fairweather. vice pres
dent of the Pan-American Products
company Of New York, Is young man
of ideas and is credit to the Negro
race. About year or two ago he
and one or two other men undertook to
launch company in New York-in
tact did launch it-for the purpose of
| conducting an import and export bust
ness with South America. the West In
dies and Africa. The scheme failed
because the brethren had little faith
and less cash.
Mr.. Fairweather struggled along for
some months, hoping against hope. and
finally decided to take his eggs to an
other market. He did and sold them at
good price. White business men lis
tened to his story and were convinced
of the practicability and feasibility OF
his plans for making money out of the
raw material of which there is an
abundance all over South America, the
West Indies and Africa.
His plan is the identical plan he sub
mitted to '.colored" men in New York
city. but their duh minds could not
grasp it-they hesitated. they dallied.
forgetting that he who dallies Is das-
tard and he who doubts is damned.

Monsignor Russell Visits
Militiamen at Radio

Monsignor William Russell, Of st. Pat
rick's Church. was a visitor at the Dis
trict militia mobilization camp yesterday
and upon taking his departure said he
had enjoyed himself immensely
Immediately upon arriving In camp he
struck up with Major wallach r. Nc

t. headquarters. where he met Major
Harry Cope. Gen. William e. Harvey
adJutant.
The two officers, escorted Mgr. Rus
sell ell over the camp grounds, explain
ing the uses of all the impedimenta and
pointing out the locations OF the organ
izations' tents.
Mgr. Russell was introduced to all of
the officers In the militia he did not al
ready know and chatted for several
hours with them.
"They are fine lot Of men and ex-
pect the District militia to give a good
account of itself on the border or my
where else 1t may be sent" said the
prelato.
The Washington times., 1916-07-03

Officers In the Quartermaster's
Corps of the District militia now at
the mobilization camp near Fort
Myer are up to snufr' on all war
regulations.
There's a reason: they have been
studying them with close application
ever since the orders were received
to send the militia to the Mexican
border.
Captain Nevils and Sergeant Smith,
of the Quartermaster's Corps, today
were observed issuing ammunition to
the members of the Field Hospital
This looked strange, and inquiry was
