RICHMOND. is RESPONDING TO
THE APPEAL FOR FUNDS FOR
THE STUDY OF NEGRO LIFE
AND HISTORY.

There is going on in this city, as
in other parts of the country at this
time, an effort to secure funds TO
help DR. Carter G. Woodson and as
sociates to continue their studies or
researches in the history and life OF
Negroes in America, Africa and the
Isles of the Seas.
The Association for the Study OF
Negro Life and History is recognlz-
ed by scientists and historians all
over the world, as the best equipped
organization or movement for un'
earthing the history and achieve
ments of the African people. Several
years ago, the association was given
grant Of $4,000 by a Rockefeller
agency to establish the work on
larger scale. 1t was the hope of the
donors that their act would so In
spire the colored people of America
as to the worth of the work of the
Association that they would proper
ly maintain it thereafter.
For a year or more, the Associa-
ton has been appealing to our peo-
ple for a fund of $4,000 to continue
it's work, with very poor success.
Virginia, the home State Of DR..
Woodson, was assigned a quota or
only $500 Of this sum; and sad to re-
late, she had given only SIS Of her
quota at the close of the year. When
this fact became known in Rich
mond several friends Of the work
decided to bring the matter to the
attention Of our group in this city.
The following persons, along with
many others whose names were not
available for this report are now
tusy among friends, organizations
and churches trying to secure funds
to help the Association to continue
it's constructive work, in collecting
and placing before the world the
truth and grandeur of the part
which Negroes have played in the
civilization and progress of man
kind.

Great is the Lord and greatly to
be praised in the City of our God,
in the mountain Of his holiness.
We are extending cordial invita-
ton to the public each week to come
to our services and be helped by the
wonderful series of sermons our
pastor is preaching. both morning
and night.
Sunday, 1880, Jan. so: The con-
gregation was held spellbound as DR..
Morris delivered the fourth message
on THE second coming OF Christ:
from the subject: What the church
is going to do up in the air." Thes.
AIT Several touching hymns were
sung, bringing to our minds vividly
idly the happy meeting with the
loved ones who have gone before:
and most joyfully Of all, the meet
ing of our dear Saviour who has re-
deemed us.
$50: In spite of the rain, the
church was filled to its capacity
with the many members and friends
TO witness the farewell testimonial
services of Mrs Mary E Satterfield
who is leaving the city this week
for Philadelphia to be with her
mother for an indefinite period. A
very unique program was rendered:
Mrs Ella o. Waller mistress of
ceremonies; music for the occasion
by the Sixth Mt Zion Choir of which
Mrs. Louise Dean is directress. The
entire program was made UP of some
of the best talents of Richmond. 1t
is with much regret and bit Of sad
ness that we have to part with so
faithful and so valuable a character
as Mrs. Satterfield. Her faithful
service as organist and active work
among the members is sincerely ap-
preciated by her church and we
shall ever pray Gods richest bless
ings upon her and cherish an earn
est hope for her return. Mrs. Phila
McGillery White has been chosen
and will take charge of the organ
Sunday.
500 P NJ: DR. Morris brought to
US the second of the night series on
"Courtship and Marriage" from the
subject ''She became his wife and
ne loved her" Gen. "a. This sermon
continued the story of Isaac and Re.
becca.
Prof Nelson Williams, Jr was in"
sTuctor last Wednesday night at the
Bible Glass and Teachers Meeting.
HIS explanation on Stewardship
was enlightening.
Sunday, Feb. 9th, 1880: DR.. Nor
ris will take up where the sermon
ended last Sunday and preach from
the subject "The man who feared
the wrong thing" or ''The Christian
at the judgment seat of Christ" At
500 P. M: "He said he loved her:
but would you think so from the
way he treated her" This sermon
will be the trial Of a young man
for the way he treated young wo-
man and the young (unmarried)
women of Richmond will be the
jury Be on time so you will be able
10 pass in your verdict. To miss
these sermons by DR. Morris will
be doing yourself an injustice.

fishing the Baumes law as effective
regardless of the character and gray
ity of the third offense.
Under this system of punishments
no recommendation for mercy by a
jury and no sympathetic leniency by
a judge can save convicted man
with such a record. 1t is based upon
the principle that two convictions
should suffice to cure a man of his
criminal tendencies, and that third
crime is proof that he is incorrigible,
and that if set free he is q menace to
society. He has had his chance to re-
form, and while he may plead cir
cumstances" in extenuation of his
third breach of the law he is not to be
trusted at liberty.
Certainly the report of the police
commissioner of New York justifies
the enactment and points to the wis

there are many little problems to puZ-
zle men of the legal profession as well
as the laymen. The following might
be cited as an illustration: A man was
charged with stealing an automobile
in Washington. He was arrested and
later confessed to the crime. When
the evidence was brought before the
grand jury the first requirement. as in
all cases of such kind, was to establish
the ownership of the automobile. But
when the car was stolen it was chang
ing ownership. The first owner and
another man had entered a house for
ten minutes, and while they were
there the exchange was made. The
car was sold and the money was
passed. When the men stepped to the
front of the house the car was gone.
1t was later found, with the thief at
the wheel. The prosecutor was unable
to establish the ownership of the auto
mobile; it was not a joint ownership;
it may have belonged to either man
involved in the sale. The grand jury
was unable to bring in an indictment,
and the thief, who had confessed, was
allowed to ramble on his way.

Mules Versus Aviation.

Newly compiled statistics demon.
strate the safety of flying. In a re.
port to the American Society of Avia.
ton a former Army pilot makes the
startling announcement that tipping
through the ether is much safer than
playing around a mule, especially a
Missouri mule. Eight commercial
pilots lost their lives last year, says
the report, but eighty persons We're
kicked to death in Missouri alone by
the stubborn four-footed creatures. In
addition to these interesting figures
the chance of mishap in a four
hundred-mile flight with a single mo-
tored plane is estimated at one in
seventy-four, and with a three mo-
tored plane only one in three hundred
and forty-three thousand.
If mules accounted for eighty
deaths in Missouri they must be ex-
ceedingly dangerous animals-far
more dangerous, in fact, than the
Eastern species. Aviation in Missouri.
at least, should be on the boom, be-
cause anything is better apparently
than getting in the way of a pair of
flying hoofs. The report, therefore,
should do its part in keeping Mis-
sourians off the ground.

Fiction, Fact and the Law.

Melville Davisson Post, a leader
among America $ writers of fiction,
once penned a short story which car
ried the title of THE Corpus Delicti'
"a strange tale of man who, after
committing a murder. destroyed the
victim of the crime with quicklime.
\ murderer can only be indicted and
brought to trial when. proof is de-
veloped that a crime has been COM
mitted-that is, the fact that the
crime really occurred must be proved
by evidence which, in murder cases,
il produced by means of the corpse
OF the victim. The primary step in
the prosecution is the production of
such evidence, usually at a coroner's
inquest, as will prove beyond a ques-
ton of doubt that the crime of muir
der was actually committed.
Mr.. Post. in the short story which
las become one of the best known of
crime narratives, uses that twist of
the law as the foundation of his yarn.
The man who committed the murder
could not be prosecuted, although il
was known that he had killed man.
because the forces Of the law We're un'
able to produce the first necessary
evidence. the body Of the victim.
The Washington police, at the pres
eut time, are delving into Il mystery
