Al a Congregational confer

Two Of the most attractive
personalities there, were 4
man who had spent 20 years
amongst the Indians, and a
lady who had spent an equal
time amongst the Mexicans Of
New Mexico.
Both have given their lives.
both have been cut off from
intercourse and books. and
neither have had many re-
suits that can be tabulated-
Still I cannot but feel that
such lives OF service have the

HANN1s-MULHoFER WEDDING.

A very elaborate wedding will take

Charlotte HaAnis of 923 Addison st.
will be Married to Mr.. Chas. Mulhofer
of 2217 Cleveland Ave-, Rev. Knuten

handsome gown of silk tulle and will
carry a bouquet of orange blossoms.
Mr.. Mulhofer recently attained promi-

eral authorities on a charge of plotting
against the U. S. Government. The
charge was dropped when Mr.. Mulhofer
established evidence that the report
was the work of some malicious person.
In fact he proved beyond a doubt his
loyalty to the United States when it
was discovered that he was born in the
State of New York 80 years ago and
is for the United States flag at all
times. The bride and groom were the
recipients of many beautiful presents
from their many friends.
They will be at home at 923 Addi-

Snake Bites In India.

midas annual loss Of over $1,000

and then dissolved In q salt solution.
Increasing doses are injected In horse

Our Wisdom Teeth.

The wisdom teeth are the four last
molar teeth to grow. They come one
on each side Of each jaw and arrive
somewhere between the ages Of twen-
ty and twenty-five years. The name
Is given them because 1t Is supposed
that when a person has developed
physically and mentally to the point
where he has secured these last -four
teeth he has also arrived at the age Of
discretion It does not necessarily
mean that one who has cut his wisdom
teeth Is wise, but that, having lived
long enough to grow these, which CON-
plete the full set of teeth, the person
has passed sufficient actual years that
II he has done what he should to ct
himself for life, he should have come
by that time at the age Of discretion

RECORD OF LYNCH1NG FOR THE
FIRST SIX MONTHS OF 1917.

Tuskegee Institute,
Ala, July 3rd, 1917,
Julius F. Taylor,
Editor, Chicago, Ill.
Dear Sir:
send you the following, relative to
lynchings for the first six months of
the year. I find according to the rec
ords kept by Monroe N. Work, head
of the Division of Records and re-
search of the Tuskegee Institute, that
in this period there have been II lynch
ings. This is IL less than the number,
%, for the first six months of 1916 and
20 less than the number, "a, for the
first six months of 1915. In 10 in
stances, through the bravery of officers
of the law and by other means, mobs
were thwarted and lynchings prevented.
Of those lynched, 13 were Negroes
and / was white. Four of those put to
death, l white and Negroes were
charged with the crime of rape. One
of those put to death was a Negro wo-
man, reported to have been of unsound
mind, who in resisting arrest wounded
an officer of the law.
I gather from reading Negro news
papers and from other sources, that in
spite of the notable decrease in the
number of victims of mob violence for
the six months, the horrors connected
with the recent burning at the stake
near Memphis has increased among Ne
groes the fear of lynchings and acce-
1erated their migration to the North.
Yours very truly,
Z. Robert R. Motion,
Principal.

NEGRO Acting as Pastor for White
People"

"On Lynn Creek, Giles County, Ten
nessee, there is a hardshell Baptist
Church, supported by a number of
wealthy people of that persuasion
who for several years past have had
for their regular pastor, a Negro man,
black as the ace of spades, named
as Bentley's Old
George, and belonging to the estate of
one Matthew Bentley, deceased, George
is said to be most excellent man and
a good preacher. Sometime ago, he
had a noted public discussion, lasting
four days with a white preacher, on
the subject of baptism, from which the
white man is said to have come off (if
any difference) second best. The
church wants to buy George, but he is
not willing to be sold out of his mas
ter's family; and is withal regular
Southern pro-slavery parson. George
is the "peacher in charge" of large
nearly all of whom are
and who pay him a salary
Of 5000 to 500 for his pastoral serv-
ices.'

When the government called for me-
chanics to volunteer for the Second Re-
serve engineers, thirty-four men made
application from the Pueblo shops. Ed
monson was one of four whose names
were submitted by B. F. Bush, presi-
dent of the road. Although his appli-
cation was plainly marked "Colored, "
he was ordered by the army officials to
come to st. Louis, Mo.
When he arrived at the office in that
city, he was told by Colonel Townsend
that "this is strictly a white man IS
regiment. After admitting that Ed
monson IS application had been accepted
in regular form and that his experience
was such as to qualify him for service,
the colonel tried to disqualify him by
stating that it would be necessary for
all engineers to speak French. Ed
monson demonstrated that he spoke
the language fluently.
Major Hall then admitted they were
cup against it, and after much par
leying, offered him a chance in the
Mess Department. Of course Edmon-
son declined to accept the offer and
left this week for Pueblo to resume
his work in the Missouri-Pacifc shops.
