the history Of the institution.
With reference to the opening OF

"THE RED LANTERN"
 REPEATED TONIGHT
 AT EMPRESS THEATER

"The Red Lantern" is repeated for the last time tonight at the Elm press. A wonderful play, faithfully depicting the exotic beauty, and the fascination of the supreme artist. Nazimova. Could you believe 1t DOS sible that one woman could enact the role of Chinese girl, and later that of an English girl-and resem- ble both characters? Not until you have seen Nazimova, as the unhappy daughter of the east and west, an outcast of both races, working out her astonishing destiny, can you have full realization of the possibilities of the silent drama"
 Tomorrow night comes "Parlor Bed room and Bath," one of the Metro Screen Classic productions. A spicy, racy little farce comedy that bubbles over with the mere joy of living, keeps you guessing just what unheard of complication Is next in line and through all, manages to keep clean, wholesome and happy. A laugh from start to finish. Played by an all-star cast headed by Ruth Stonehouse and Eugene aPllette. The funniest and best farce since Fair and Warmer why say more?

server who has lived in the south, and who is familiar in the slightest with race conditions in that part of our common country.
 In the past the colored race has been given comparatively few politi- cal appointments of much conse- quence, even under Republican presi- dents. The race has never received, 1t claims, a fair share of political patronage, based on the proportion of it's numbers to the whole popula- tion, and it probably never will. Con- ditions in the United States are sim ply against giving the negro much of share in governing the people and the country.
