SKAGNAY ALPINE
 CLUB LECTURE

 President Pedersen, in a distinct and easy manner read the descrip- tion Of tue trip througout the National Yellowstone park, which had been prepared by the passen- ger department of the Northern Pa cific Railway Company, and great interest was shown by exclama- tious of awe and wonderment as scene after scene was shown, graph ically describing the scenic grand eur in 8 manner which is utterly impossible to do by pen or word.
 Tie modern hotels, occupying inn posing sites, the wonderful roads and trails, and bridges, which have been constructed without changing in the slightest degree the natural beauty and Wildness of the sur rounding country. portrayed what careful expenditura of time and money has accomplished in making accessible the interesting featuTea of this great national playground.
 During the internlissions, the children from the schools, un= der the direction of Miss Lois Butt, sang several rollicking and patriotic songs, some of the boys adding novelty to the rendition by whistling the. chorus parts.
 After the conclusion of the lec- turc, the result of the member get ting contest of the two teams was announced, and Mrs. SuffeeooPs s team won, Madam Captain Suffe- cool and her assistants having pin ned the green bows on IA new members, while Madam Captain ILandshorough and her aides se- cured IS new members. This brings the total number of active members of the club up to to 236..
 Manager Mowl completed the evenings entertainment by putting on a good reel of Animated Week ly events, the Broken Coin and 8 good comedy, which was followed rv a trip to the summit of the sierras.
 1 It was gratifying to note the control the teachers had over the little tots, which had good ef- feet on the grown-ups, when the lI fire bell sounded the alarm while the entertainment was at it's height
 As he changing of the bell be came audible in the theater, i'm mediately there was an uproar. But this was instantly Quieted when Miss Benthien and Miss Butt, req Iizing that a mad rush for the ex- it's might result in inuring some ot those present, called for quiet in firm voices, and commanded the children to keep their seats. This command was instantly obeyed, and when the grown-ups realized how readily the children obeyed, they followed the example set, and quiet again at once prevailed.

NEGRO EVER READY
T0F|GHT FOR FLAG
None Need Doubt Loyalty and
Courage When Hour of
Battle Comes.

To the Editor of The Star:
At such a time as this, when the ma
tional life and honor are involved in
the impending struggle, the govern
ment must make careful appraisement
of all available resources of both men
and material. Mind power man power
and money power are the Indispensable
elements of success. The negro, con-
may be relied upon to contribute more
than his quota of man power. There
need not be the slightest apprehension
concerning his loyalty, soldierly eff
cheney or Willingness to serve his coun-
try. The negro is sometimes called the
Afro american, and is classified ETY.
mologically with the hyphenated citi-
zens, but no hyphen separates his loyal
ty from that of his white fellow citi-
zens.
The negro's patriotism is an innate
and spontaneous feeling. The race is
endowed with high emotional qualities
which find outlet in an outburst of pa
triOtic ferEOr. Strains of martial music
and the Stars and Stripes floating on
the breeze quicken his ardor and
awken his militant spirit. He does not
stop to reason why, but is willing to
follow the flag even unto death. He has
also an attachment for locality which
is of the very essence of patriotism. He
has hallowed the land of his enslaVe-
ment by the sorrow songs that guShed
from his heart. There is no tone of bit
terneSS, but the undertone of love and
devotion runs as minor chord through
it all The plantation melodies which
have come up from the low grounds of
sorrow portray i'll SubconSciouS form

ITO the victor belongs the spoils" is
a righteous and just motto, if the spoils

HONEYMOON SPECIAL"

Mrs. Gill Brings Worshipers of

on Semi-Annual Trip.

The semi-annual special from Rich
mond. Dan Cupid. engineer: Hymen
(surname unknown). conductor, and
Mrs. Gill, general superintendent,
reached the National Capital shortly
after 1890 o'clock yesterday. Sometimes
the train is called the Honeymoon EX-
cursion, while at other times it goes
by the name of the Cupid Special. I'm
der either title it is Mrs. Gills time
honored matrimonial pilgrimage from
the Virginia metropolis to the capital
of the nation.
Yesterdays special brought nearly fifty
couples, nearly all of whom came for
the purpose of getting married and see
ing the sights at the same time. Pros
poets of war apparently had little ef-
feet on the would-be bridegrooms and
brides; maybe they hurried things up
a bit, rs it was stated the number of
pilgrims this spring was larger than
that brought here on the last two or
three trips personally conducted by
Mrs. Gill.
"Of course, not every couple that
comes to Washington on these specials
gets married." said Mrs. Gill today,
"but most of them do. ! think the eX-
clrsioniSts this time Will average up
about as well as those who came %
former trips. There ought to be close
to fifty weddings here as result of
the running of the train this spring.

Enlisted for the South.

Though not often proclaimed, it is
well known fact that several colored
REGIMENTS enlisted under the banner of
the Confederate flag. Had the Rich
mond government carried out its ten
tative plan to enlist negro soldiers on
a wholesale plan, there is little doubt
that colored troops would have fol-
lowed the leadership of Lee as val
liantly as they did that of Grant. This
aItl.uistic quality of loyalty and deVo-
ton is not destroyed by freedom and
education. but translated and expressed
in other terms. The highly cultured
negroes of Washington city promoted

Always Ready to Die.

The negro's patriotism is vicarious and
altruistic. 1t seems to be an anomaly of
fate that the negro. the man of all men
who is held in despite, should stand out
in conspicuous relief at every crisis of
our national history. His blood offering
is not for himself or for his race but for
stream through our national history. from
Boston commons to CarraZal. Crispus
Attuck was the first American to give his
blood as an earnest of American inde-
pendence. The negro was with Wash
ington in the dark days of Valley Forge,
when the lamp of national liberty flick
cred almost to eXtinguishment. The black
troops fought valiantly with Jackson be-
hind the fleecy breastworks at New Or
leans. Two hundred thousand black boys
in blue responded to the call of the i'm
mortal Lincoln for the preservation of
the Union. The negro was the positive
cause of the civil war and the negative
cause of the united nation with which
We face the world today.
The reckless daring of negro troops on
San Juan hill mafked the turning point
in that struggle which drove the last yes
tige of Spanish. power from the western
world. 1t was but yesterday that we
buried with national honor at Arlington
cemetery the negro SoldiedS who fell face
forward while carrying the flag to the
farthest point in the heart of Mexico, in
quest of the bandit who dared place hos
| tile foot on American soil, In complete
harmony with this marvellous patriotic
record. it so happened that it was an
American negro who proved to be the
first victim of ruthless submarine war
fare after President Wilson had dis
tinctly announced to Germany that such
outrage would be considered tantamount
to war In all of these ways has the ne
gro shown. purposely or unconsciousiy,
his undertaking devotion to the glory and
honor of the nation. Greater love hath
no man this this, that a man lay down
his life for his country.

Incident From the Border.

1t is related thar a negro soldier was
in hot-footed pursuit of d Mexican who
had crossed the border line. The cap
tain, noticing the pursuit, called
sharp retreat as the line of demarka-
tion was approached. Upon his return
the captain said in commendatory tone:
''You certainly gave him a hot chase, but,
YOU know, you must not cross the m
ternationaI boundary line" Thereupon
the owder-colored son of thunder
quickly responded: Captain, if these
Mexicans keep on fooling with US We'll
take up this boundary line and carry
it down to the Panama canal" This
reply so aptly spoken expresses the at
titude of every right-minded Afro
American. Wherever the boundary line
of American opportunity, privilege and
prestige is ITO be flung, the American
negro will do his full share in pushing
it thitherward.
The negroS vicarious patriotism is
but one form of manifestation of his
vicariouS nature The devotion of the
"black mamma to the offspring of her
mistress gives new meaning eand
definition to that term. Out of the su-
perabundance of her simple, unSophis-
ticated soul she was able to satisfy the
longingS Of the child of her heart,
though not of her flesh, as nothing
else could do. The man slave during
the civil war, in complete reverSion of
the law OF self-interest, remained abb
solutely loyal to the family and for
tune of his master, who at that very
time WAS fighting to tighten the chains
that bound him to a lasting bondage.
