THE BLACK CAESAR.
In the death of Bishop H. M. Turner the nation, the race and
the great A. M. E. Church have sustained a great loss. Few men
liave stood up in the South and condemned the whites for lack of
their Christian duty to their fellow blacks. His back-to-Africa doc-
t'ine that stirred the country a few decades ago was not a myth
as we now see it. We had hoped that the local church would drape
itself in mourning for the great defender and builder, and we also
sincerely hope and expect that a memorial' service will be held by
t'ie local congregation in testimony to Bishop Turner's worth to
the connection.
WQXJLD LAY DOWN THE BURDEN.
Miss M. V. Simmons, who has been president of the Civic Cen-
ter since its organization, has signified her intention to step aside
and have someone else as president. Miss Simmons is a faithful
worker ^nd we would like to see someone as devoted to the cause
as she is at the head of such a useful organization. This Center
should be the leading society among our club women as a common
forum, where-all can come and exchange ideas on political and civic
questions. The Sunshine sees no reason why the organization should
not lead them all, and if it is properly officered it will be the Center
it should be.. Let our club ladies not overlook the Civic Center
while attending to their other lodges and societies.
SHOULD WE TAKE PART IN ALAMEDA COUNTY DAY
AT THE EXPOSITION?
Miss Mvra V. Simmons is calling a meeting at the Zion Church
on Campbell street to ascertain this fact. Now, to our mind we
could with a degree of pride go right into this day's festivities with
all our might as loyal citizens of Alameda County, not as Negroes
r as any other race, but as citizens, march together, ride together,
sing if necessary together and still be citizens of the county, and
^this can be done without any elaborate preparation or expense. So
we are quite in favor of just as many of our colored citizens turning
out on Alameda Day as can possibly do so and show to our visitors
that this is our Fair and our State and that we appreciate it.

Again the time draws near for Memorial Day', the day set aside
to the glory and honor of our brave men who died on" the battle-
fields. As the 30th is on Sunday, memorial exercises will be held
Monday. May 31st. The Hon., Samuel Shortridge will make the
memorial address to the Grand Army of the Republic. Mr. Short-
ridge is the silver-tongue orator of the Golden West.
Extract from an address by Robert Ingersoll, the friend of the
Negro: "But in the South the Negro toiled unpaid, and mothers
wept while their babes were sold and at the auction block husbands
and wives speechless looked their last good-bye. But pity pointed
to the scarred and bleeding backs of slaves; mercy heard the sobs
of mothers reft of babes and Justice held aloft the scales in which
one drop of blood shed by the.master's lash outweighed a nation's
t;old. There were a few men. a few women, who had the courage
to attack this monstrous crime. They found it intrenched in con-
stitutions, statutes and decisions. And upon its cruel altar had been
sacrificed our country's honor.

Services Held .at Bethel A. M. E.'
Church, Atlanta, Ga., Wednesday,
Nineteenth Instant.
Atlanta, Ga., May 19. 1915.
The greatest funeral held in this
city for many years was held today
at Bethel A. M. E. Church, when
P.ishop Henry McNeal Turner. Senior
Bishop of the A. M. E. Church, was!
laid to rest, amidst the sorrows ofj
many friends. Bethel Church, one of
the largest auditoriums in the city,'
proved far too small for the concourse!
of people who gathered.
The body was brought home from
Windsor, Canada, where the Bishop
died, by Rev. W. C. Shelton, presid-
ing elder in the Detroit district. Rev.
R. Hatchet, of Canada, came later to
represent the Canadian brethren.
The Bishop had been in Detroit for
some days and went Friday night to
Windsor. He was found unconscious
Saturday morning and medical atten-
tion .was not able to restore -con-
sciousness. He died about noon.
The body arrived in Atlanta, ac-
companied by Rev. Shelton, on Mon-
day. May 10, and laid in the parlor
of the Bishop's home, 30 Yonge
street, until Tuesday. May 18, where
it was viewed by hundreds of the in-
timate friends of the family. Tues-
day. May 18, the body, accompanied
by bishops, general officers and lay-
men. was removed from the home and
laid in state at Big Bethel A. M. E.

INFLUENCE OF DR. A. J. CAREY
Chicago Minister Speaks Against In-
termarriage Bill at Springfield, 111.
Through his own efforts alone, it Is
said, and by his logical and eloquent
presentation of the case the Rev. A- J.
Carey, D. D„ pastor of the Institution-
al A. M. E. church, Chicago, defeated
the bill recently offered by Senator
Coleman of the Illinois state senate to
prohibit the intermarriage of white and
colored A merles
The hill had been referred to the
committee of the whole, and the Rev.
Mr. Carey, who happened to be in
Springfield, was invited by Senatoi
Dailey of Peoria to make a speech
against the bill. Mr. Carey had nc
time for preparation, but as he is al-
ways ready to speak against injustice
he hurried to the senate chamber and
made one of the most masterly ad-
dresses ever delivered before the Illi-
nois legislature.

Nashville, Tenn.—An announcement
was made by the National Negro
Doll Company that their rush sea-
son, which it usually has during the
Christmas, is just now on. This is
occasioned, declares the manager of
the company, on account of the delay
in the importation of material from
which these dolls are made. The
ship was caught and held as a prize
of war and was only recently released,
j hence the material did not reach
Nashville until Christmas day. But
the people, says the manager, were so
determination to have the size dolls
they wanted that they all replied,
"We will wait to get the big dolls."
While hundreds of small dolls were
sent out, the manager declares that it
was surprising to note that the people
wanted the dolls ranging m sizes
from seventeen to thirty-six inches.
The orders are be;..g rapidly sent out.
Many of the churches have sent in
orders that the> might conduct their
bazaars. Dolls ~ vill be shipped
thrc ughout the year, declares the
manager of the Doll Company, as we
are ready to fill orders as they come.
