New York.-The Urban league closed
the last ten days Of its fiscal year,
ending in September, with financial
campaign to raise $3,400 in order to
complete it's years work without
deficit. John D. Rockefeller and A. T.
White pledged $1,000 of this amount
If the 81, 800 could be raised before the
fiscal year expired. The league was
successful in raising this sum through
the assistance Of many wealthy people
of the downtown district and several
Of the leading colored citizens.
Among the colored people who con-
tributed substantially to the campaign
are: Rev. Hutchins C. Bishop, Bishop
Alexander. Walters, DR.. Leo Fitz Near
on, Mrs. Leila Walker Robinson, hon.
Charles W. Anderson, Edward A. War
rem, Mrs. w. F. Trotman, DR.. E. P.
Roberts. Fred r. Moore, Claude NJ.
Motion, Major R. R. Motion and men,
bers of the Union Baptist church, OF
which DIR. G.. II. Sims is pastor.
The league is extending its work 10.
cally by the opening Of branch Office
at POP West Sixty-third street, this
city. Miss Vivienne A. Ward, for
many years an assistant in the indus
trial department Of the league, will he
placed in charge of the office, which
will be conducted In cooperation with
the work of the Lincoln House.
The league recently completed an in
tensive investigation Of the social
causes underlying the high infant NOR
tally on Columbus hill. When the
facts discovered are presented in final
form by Miss Naomi B. Spencer, in
vestigator, the work Of organizing a
movement for reducing this death rate
will be inaugurated. This will take
the shape of house to house visits to
mothers Of young babies by expert
enced nurses and women who know
the best methods Of rearing children
and possibly the establishment of
day nursery.
The extension of the leagues work
to other cities will be carried on Wig
orously during the winter. Eugene
Kinckle Jones. executive secretary OF
the league, will spend most Of his time
in October in Chicago and Cleveland
to promote movements in those cities.
Mr.. Jones has visited Richmond and
Washington in the same connection.
DR.. George E. Haynes, executive Sec
rotary, with headquarters in Nashville,
Tenn, visited cities in Tennessee dur
ing September for the same purpose.
In conducting the work of the league
during the past year more than $4,000
has been expended through the leagues
treasury. The colored people have con-
tributed more toward this work this
year than at any time since the league
has been organized.

Social Service.

4 sS~~s~s
Social service or social uplift is the
lettering Of conditions Of commune
ties. There is no sordidDess, no lit
tleness in this work. It is the work
of developing the best from the
worst. The whole realm Of social JUS
tice, economies, socialism, political
economy and of psychology enters in
to one of its many branches.
Specifically, in nearly every COM
munity there is room for improve
ment Of the social conditions Of the
churches, the places of amusement, OF
the homes and of hte schools.
Another phase Of social service
work is the discouraging of intemper-
ance, white slavery and all other ex-
listing evils, and cooperating with all
forces which are for the moral, edu-
cational or social uplift of COM
munity.

Milwaukee, Nov. S.-Returns for
President from 1889 precincts out
of 2,250 in the state gave Wilson
96.737, Hughes 106,792. These re-
turns with only two or three counties

carried Wisconsin by at least 10000,
that LaFollette leads his opponent,
Wolf, for the Senate, by two to

INVESTIGATION CHARGES
 CONTINUES DRAGGING
Much Interest Attached to Statement That Commissions CTS Will Put Gov. Hays on Stand as Material Witness.

Little Rock, April 19.-The investi- gation of charges brought by Gov. Hays against J. A. Bradsher and J.. V. Ferguson, of the Penitentiary Commission, continues to drag it's weary hours along in the governors reception room, before an audience smaller than when it opened on Mon- day. It is probable that it will not be concluded before Thursday or Friday. There has been much evidence of a more or less sensational character, a great deal of it to the uninitiated, having little bearing on the case in hand. Capt. R. R. Rice of Warner, from whom the Commission rents cotton land, was one of the most prominent witnesses Tuesday after noon, testifying for the Commission CTS, and showing the large amount of work they have done. Concerning Warden Bailey, one of the peniten- tiary employees, he testified that he was really too humane and too in- dulgent with the convicts, and that he did not treat them brutally.
 Much interest has attached to the statement that the Commissioners will put the Governor on the stand as a material witness in their behalf. This will present the unique feature of the judge in the proceedings giv- ing testimony as a witness for his own consideration in arriving at a verdict
 Since the Governor, however, does not deny that he has already made up his mind, and that he has decided ,upon the dismissal of the men, there is much speculation as to the steps

QUESTION OF WlTH-
 DRAWAL IS PENDING
Among High Army Officials Doubt of Villas Death Be- comes More Pronounced With Each Hour That Passes.

Washington, April 18.-The ad- ministration is waiting on further re- ports before deciding whether the ex- petition shall be withdrawn or rein forced for further operations. Ad- ditional advices from General Fun ston are expected hourly. Some tele- grams came late today. One was dated Namiquipa, showing that Gen eral Pershing had withdrawn to that place.
 Indications at the war department | bore out press reports that the pur- suit of Villa was temporarily at standstill. President Wilson and the cabinet discussed the situation briefly today. It was announced later the situation was unchanged and the policy unaltered. One member of the cabinet admitted no final decision had been reached as to withdrawal. Off, cials would reveal no word of the re- port submitted. It was apparent, however, it outlined a situation re- quiring action in Washington.
 The line of communication already is drawn too thin and there is no disposition here to contradict border adyices that more troops must be sent if the chase is to be pressed further. Secretary Baker arranged to take additional advices to the White House as they came. It was thought probable that the German situation would have some bearing on the im- pending decision. If a break with Germany is foreseen it is virtually certain that the troops will be re- called from Mexico immediately. They would be needed at home, as military prudence would require that steps be taken to prepare for eventualities in Europe.
 A report of Villas death has not been cleared up as yet. Doubt as to it's truth steadily increases and dis patches from Consul Letcher at Chi huahua characterized the report as a mere rumor without any founda- tion that he could ascertain.
 The Washington government, as nearly as the attitude of the cabinet can be learned, is in no mood to force matters in Mexico. Already the main purpose of the expedition, protection of the border, is regarded as accom- plished. In moving new forces to the border, as reported tonight, Gen eral Funston is acting within the dis cretionary power conferred on him when the chase began. He was also instructed after the Parral incident was reported to spare no effort to protect the advance forces.
 Secretary Baker would not say after the cabinet meeting that no ad- ditional troops would be ordered to the border and no such movement was contemplated at present.

IN HONOR OF
 REV. k. A. HIGHSMITH

One of the prettiest and most en- joyable social affairs of the week was receptino given on Monday evening, July 17th, by Mir. and Mrs. R. L. Blakely in honor of Rev. R. A. High smith, of Mineral Wells, Texas, who has just closed very successful two weeks revival service at the First Christian church.
 Rev. Highsmith was pastor of the church here for more than three years and holds not only place in the deepest affections of the congre- gation but the high esteem of the whole townspeople as well.
 The guests were welcomed at the door by Miss Jennie Lewis. in the receiving line stood MT and Mrs. R.. L. Blakely, Rev. Theo. Hall and Rev. R. A. Highsmith.
 The house was beautifully decor ated in spring flowers. The large folding doors were thrown open, thus transforming the spacious first floor into one continuous room. Great bouquets of roses and lilies breathed out their delicate perfums in parlor and reception hall while the dining room presented a vision of loveliness done in white narcissi. The broad doorways were overhung with wild haw blossoms.
 Mrs. John Lewis and Miss Eva Lewis presided at the fruit bowl.
 Tables were arranged for the younger guests where they enjoyed a number of enthusiastic games of rock.
 The Misses Jeanette and Mabel Burns and Elba White gave several very interesting readings.
 Robert Blakely presided at the player-piano and every one voted him an accomplished musician.
 Delicious refreshments consisting of strawberry ice and cakes were served in the dining room.
 Near the close of the evening the guests all clustered in and around the spacious hall listening to a few very tender and impressive remarks by Rev. Hall. Rev. Highsmith then expressed his deep appreciation of the love and thoughtfulness of the church.
 After singing "Blest Be the Tie That Binds" the Rev. Hall pro- nounced a short prayer and the grests departed, all declaring that they had spent most enjoyable evening.
