THE HARMONY KINGS.

The Four Harmony Kings, consist
ing of Prof. Ham, Messrs. Browning,
Drayton and Barry, who have starred
for the last few years in the Orpheum
Circuit, captivated musical st. Louis
at the great Bundy meeting when
they volunteered their talents to
make his meeting a success.
These men are artists of whom the
. Race know little. The white race has
kept them continuously and exclu-
sively on the big time and they have
seldom been heard like most colored
artists by their own people.
Their "Steam Piano" number is the
best of its kind in the world, and the
vast audience forgot that they were
listening to the powerful cadences of
human voices, and imagined that a
wonderful mechanical steam instru-
ment was enchanting them with its
soothing, grooming melody. The gen.
teel manner and polished conduct of
these gentlemen give them a pecu-
liar place in the hearts of humanity
and upon the stage of life. Prof Ham,
one of natures gentlemen, has a
powerful and resonant bass voice.
He is an artist, but has not lost sight
of the church. He wears a modest
cross for a watch charm.
Mr.. Brown has a beautiful lyric
tenor voice, characterized by true
quality and sweetness. He was for
merly member of the Famous Hell
Fighters.
Mr.. Drayton, the baritone, grad
uate of Claflin, has round rangy
voice, and a wonderful charm of
charm of personality
Mr.. Berry, the leader, is in class
by himself, and the name Berry is
sufficient for all who have heard him.
Mr.. Berry's range is remarkable. He
is capable of touching A flat with
ease, and has no difficulty in striking
the deep bass tones.
- All Hail to the Harmony Kings.

Amendment.

okmulQee. Okla. May 19.-The colored
public schools of this town have not been
closed as ordered by the Board Of Educa-
ton.
The Board ordered the white school to
take full nine months term and the coll
ored schools an eight and one-half month
term
At mass meeting Of citizens under the
auspices of the National Association for
Advancement of Coored People the teachers
were asked TO continue at their posts of
duty until the end of full nine months.
At the end of that time pay will be de-
rnanded. If refused citizens announce their
intentions of taking the case to court and
testing it under the Fourteenth Amend
ment.
Opinion was expressed that if the eight

cepted without protest. the school term
might be further shortened next year.

May 18th. san Chiapusso the Dutch pianist
gave his first Chicago recital. This pro-
gram was a varied one containing compo-
sition of Debussy. Ravsl. Schubert. Rame-
aux, Conpe1ni and Hahn. The numbers were
of moderate length and of attractive style
Mr. Chiapusso is a master OF the piano In
that he plays with hawless technic but
many of his audience longed for less of the
dramatic force of presentation and more OF
the tender. appealing tone production.

POINTED OUT BRIGHT SIDE

Afflicted Man That the Cloud Had
Silver Lining.

Mr.. Juergins had been suddenly af-
flicted with a stiff neck. Not only
was 1t painful stiffness, but it
caused him to twist his head around
until he seemed to be trying to look be-
hind him over his left shoulder and
his head was rigid in that pose.
"Of all the COMPOUNDED trials a man
was ever subjected to-" he said, this
is the limit They say to look on
the bright side of our Affections, but
I'd like to know how l could make use
of this stiff neck"
"My dear friend" said the optimist,
think what golden opportunity this
is to sit for your picture without hav-
ing to allow the photographer to twist
your head around that way and jab
those ice-cold tongs into the back of
your neck !'''

PUT RELIGION ABOVE DUTY
Why Buddhist Jailers Are Not to Be
Trusted to Guard Prisoners In
Their Care.

Punjabis and men of northern In
dla are nearly always warders of Bur-
mese jails. The principal reason for
selecting them is that they are not
Buddhists. The Burman is sometimes
employed, but his Buddhist education
often causes his prejudices to come to
collision with his official duties.
The story is told Of Buddhist
priest placed in solitary confner' ont
for disobeying prison rules The
stone cell in which he was confined
had plank inserted at both ends into
slots in the wall, which was a bed at
night. The priest began to jump up and
down in an effort to break the board.
The Burman guard asked him to de-
sist. The priest said he could not
sleep on an elevated bed. as 1t was
against his religion. When the board
was broken. the priest feigned sleep.
The Burman sentry returned to his
post The priest pried the bars open
with the board. Later the sentry saw
the prisoner walking softly down the
hallway. To arrest him by force would
be against his religion, so he pleaded
with him to return. Another sentry,
a Punjab, came in and saw the Bur-
man sentry on his knees. He arrested
the priest without ceremony, and bun
died him into a new cell.

Quest of Scientists.

The question of the origin Of the
West Indies will be decided. scien-
lists aver, when indigenous animal
life Is found to be related indisputably
TO that of the South and Central Amer
lean mainland. But mammals, which,
being wingless could not have flown
over the intervening seas, are unfortu-
nately the most poorly represented
groups of the higher ilfe of the An
TILES. For this reason much scientific
interest attaches to a recent expedi-
ton to Jamaica, backed by the Amer
lean Museum of Natural History, says
Popular Mechanics magazine. Be
lieving that the West Indies once had
II much larger mammal inhabltation
than today. the expedition concerned
itself with the excavation Of fossil
fauna from the Islands limestone

RAILROADS APPEAL
CASE TO PRESIDENT
OBJECT TO RULING OF COMP.
TROlLER TO HOLD UP
GUARANTEES.
Declare Decision Would Work an Un-
due Hardship on the Roads by
Postponing the Guaranty Pay
ments for Six Months.

Washington.-The railroads of the
country have appealed to President
Wilson against the ruling of the comp
troller of the treasury that the treas
ury department withhold from the
roads all further payments due them
under the guarantee provisions of the
transportation act until final account
ing had been completed by the car
rierS.
Alfred r. Thorn, general counsel of
the Association of Railway Execu-
tives, explained that the roads had
appealed to the president because they
believed the comptroller's ruling was
an erroneous construction of the law,
which, he said, clearly intended that
partial payments should be made
determined. The comptroller's de-
cision, he added, would work an undue
hardship on the roads by postponing
the guaranty payments to them until
the final returns for each of the six
months between March and September
80 had been calculated.
Arguments on the right of the inter-
state commerce commission to pre-
scribe rates for rail transportation
within the states began Monday at a
hearing before the commission ON the
application of the railroads OIL New
York to compel the state public service
commission to permit an increase In
passenger fare for intrastate traffic
similar to the 20 per cent advance
granted for interstate travel.
