THE ADVOCAT'S WHICH FULLY PUBLISH ALSO CHAPTER NEWS NOTES FROM ALL SECTIONS VOLUME X. Surpassed Expectatio DID OPENING OF SHEPARD'S SUMMER SCHOOL AND CHAUTAUQUA AT DURHAM. Dancy Makes Address At opening and Lauds Work Done by the Institution, Others of National Reputation Following With Lectures on Timely Topics in the Course. Durham, N. C., July 12—The National Religious Training school, this city, opened its summer school and Chautauqua the day after the Fourth with a more auspicious effect than the national holiday occasioned in this section of the state. The teachers and lecturers for the summer school and chautauqua are conspicuous in their respective professions. A number of states furnish a representative number of teachers as students and the attendance at the opening surpassed the most sanguine expectation of president Shepard. "I want to rejoice with you for the great work being accomplished by Dr. Shepard, and we must uphold him in this great effort. It is simply wonderful to note the progress the school has made. It has blossomed as a rose" said Dr. Dancy in his introductory remarks in addressing a representative audience that gave him quite an ovation. Dr. Dancy's message came in the form of a heart to heart talk with his audience. The progress of the race, in the South especially, afforded him ample material to carry in a direct manner to his attentive audience hopeful evidences of surviving from a state not conducive to desirable citizenship. He mastered vital statistics in comparing what the Negro has lost with what he has gained. That the unity of purpose and action on the part of the better element of the race is necessary for the developing of the masses of the race was strongly asserted by him. He commended the race in Durham for the manner in which they worked for the accomplishing of good, "Civic Righteousness" and "Reminiscences of Some of the Races' Leaders" were the subjects of two of the most interesting addresses ever heard in this city. Dr. Jesse L. Hurlburt, of New Jersey, one of the greatest authorities on the Bible, began a series of lectures on the second day of the session and this profound theologian and ripe scholar is giving inspiration and a great conception of the works of the part of the Bible discussed by him. The heroes of the early church afforded the subject "Philip the Evangelist" in his first lecture and he beautifully unfolded the purpose of the activities of this apostle. He enunciated the qualities of Phillip and showed that his success was largelf due to his sympathies, which made him broad and took him out of the sphere of those who were narrow. The spirit unhilish manifest itself in the present day church as explained by Dr. Hurlburt was a potent influence in the work of Phillip. The cause of certain conditions in the church today, as indicated by the utterances of the speaker, was the indifference of too large a number of its members to a certain element of people in the church. For the proper church to fulfil its mission it must be filled with the spirit that made the early church such a power because it lived near to God. "Let us make man" was the subject and analytical address by Prof. Kelley Miller, who is giving a series of lectures on mathematics. He was greeted by an enthusiastic audience and was accorded on ovation." We have the privilege of being a coworker with God in making man" were some of the philosophical utterances of this noted scholar in his introduction. That every person has a peculiar assignment in the perfecting of the faculties of his neighbors and to mould those mobile and flexible characters properly he said that God required of them to be intelligent and efficient co-workers and should understand all the knowledges involved in the process of man making. A thorough knowledge of the student should be possessed by the teacher and the pedagogue should have especial training for this feature of raking man was emphasized by the speaker. He said that if the physical constituent of man is weak the process of man making is barren of results desired. In a plain and unassuming manner he spoke of the class of people in the race leaving the rural districts and entering the city where their environments are too often detrimental to their physical development. This large element in a number of cities' populations unless given the facilities of physical development would be a diminishing factor in the world of affairs. He said that the demands of civil lization are such that if a man does not have a sound body his value to society is decreased. Among his utterances on this phase of human development were: "I would prefer living in the meanest log cabdn in North Carolina than in a crowded alley in the city of Washington." He held that brains were not cheap if properly applied and without knowledge there was not much power, hence the process of man making required the developing of the intellect. Prof. F. A. Clark, the well known music composer whose work is being sung in a number of the leading churches in the country is the musical director and the musicals here are of a high standard. MOTTS, PROPRIETOR OF . THE PEKIN, DEAD. Chicago, Ill., July 12.—Robert Motts, proprietor of the Pekin Theater and one of the best known men in the city, is dead at his home here. He is reputed to be one of the wealthiest men of the race in this city. Colored Men Vote In City Election ELECTION OFFICIALS AT ANNAPOLIS FEAR TO DEBAR THEM IN FACE OF DECISION OF UNITED STATES COURT. Annapolis, Md., July 12.—Fearing indictment if they tried to carry out the "grandfather" clause in the municipal election law here, election officials permitted colored men to vote in the city election Tuesday. The "grandfather" clause was declared invalid in the United States District Court, at Baltimore, some months ago, and this was the first election held here since the clause has been declared illegal. The United States Court, at Baltimore, was the first in the country to declare a "grandfather" clause illegal and the fact that the election officials were afraid to carry out the letter of the law in the face of the court's decision should cause the Negro in all parts of the South to make efforts to have the discriminating clauses in the election laws declared invalid. INDIA AND CHINA. Will be Visited by the Champion Heavyweight, Black Jack. London, July 7—Jack, Johnson has agreed to meet the winner of the fistic tournament to be held by Hugh D. MacIntosh, the Australian promoter. MacIntosh today sent a cablegram to Sam Langford, asking him to meet Bill Lang, the Australian champion, some time this winter. MacIntosh has already matched Sam McVey and Al Kaufman to meet in either Paris or Australia. The winner will then be matched with Lang. MacIntosh believes that Lang will be the winner of these elimination contests, and Johnson and Lang have been matched to meet in the Stadium in Sydney, N. S. W., Easter Monday of next year. Johnson is arranging for a three months tour of India, China, Japan and Australia. The champion will then go into training for the Lang the Lang contest. Governor Appoints Congress Delegates TWENTY ARE NAMED TO REPRESENT STATE AT SECOND ANNUAL SESSION OF NATIONAL NEGRO CONGRESS. In compliance with the request of the president, J. Silas Harris, of St. Louis, Gov. Wm. E. Glasscock has appointed twenty delegates to represent this State at the Second Annual session of the Negro National Congress, which meets at Denver, Colo., August 12th to 15th inclusive. This congress was organized and held its first meeting at St. Louis, last summer, where, as it is planned at Denver, were discussed plans to make the Negro a more desirable citizen and a greater factor for good in the government. The delegates named by the Governor are: H. D. Hazlewood, Parkersburg; W. A. Saunders, Harper's Ferry; Rev. J. D. Coleman, Bluefield; Rev. R. R. Downs, Charleston; R. W. White, Keystone; Dr. B. A. Crichlow, Bluefield; S. H. Guss, Institute; H. B. Rice, Charleston; A. G. Froe, Welch; Miss Louise Smithers, Hinton; E. A. Boiling, Lewisburg; J. W. Scott, Huntington; L. R. Jordan, Clarksburg; Rev. R. D. W. Meadows, Huntington; Dr. M. T. Sinclair, Bancroft; G. H. James, Charleston; Mrs. Z. T. Brown, Institute; J. W. Hughes Wheeling; and Dr. R. L. Gordon, Thurmond. The Clayton-Williams University, a school supported by local colored Baptists, has been incorporated. The school was founded by Rev. Dr. Harvey Johnson a few years ago and is doing a very creditable work. Rev. W. J. Winston is the president. THE ADVOCATE. Voluntary Resignation THE ONLY METHOD BY WHICH THE STATE COMMITTEE CAN BE CHANGED. Division of Opinion Is Shown in the Many Schemes Advanced by Which a Reorganization Could be Effected, Some Demanding the Heads of all, Others a Few. The excessive heat of the past week put the active politicians, the men who make Governors, Senators, Congressmen and Constables, to rest, and instead of going forth to do active work for certain candidates they contented themselves in the shady places with discussions of political topics, moved their armies in different directions, marched them back again and made flank attacks on the enemy, says the local correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer. One of the favorite themes of discussion was the meeting of the Republican State Committee, which State Chairman S. V. Matthews will call for the month of September, the specific time and place to be named later. As this is the first meeting of the committee since the 1910 disaster it is awaited with much interest, for one of the subjects to be considered will be the reputed reorganization of the committee. Many schemes have been advanced by which a reorganization could be effected, but as yet no one is certain that such a reorganization will occur. If it comes is must be voluntary action on the part of the members of the committee, for there is no authority by which they can be removed except through voluntary resignations. Those who are asking for a reorganization of the committee are not united in their demands. Some would be satisfied if some few members withdrew from the state organization, while there are others who want the resignation of every member of the committee and allow new committeemen to be elected. It is certain, however, that in the event of the latter movement some of the present members of the committee would be re-elected by their constituents. Some of the defenders of the committee insist that the resolution adopted at the meeting two years ago, when Governor Glasscock was chosen to harmonize the warring elements of the party, which provides for the selection of delegates to the state convention by the district unit, will eliminate factionalism, and that adherents to that rule by the present committee will make it safe for every candidate. Then there are others who say that following the action of the Republicans of the Legislature, who indorsed a state-wide primary when they supported the Coffman measure, the state committee, so far as practicable, should put this bill into effect in the nomination of candidates for public office and call a state-wide primary for the nomination of state officers. Anyway, it promises to be a great meeting, and every Republican who believes he can solve the riddle will put his solution in a grip and carry it to the point which Chairman Matthews designates as the gathering place for the Republican hosts. What purports to be an engagement, between United States Senator Watson and Governor Harmon, of Ohio, to give to the latter the West Virginia delegation at the next Democratic National Convention, is said to exist and it has not been denied by the West Virginia Senator. The Ohio Governor is popular with the leaders of the party in the state, and while none of them are publicly committed to his candidacy, it is known that Senators Watson and Chilton and State Senator W. A. MacCorkle, the latter a law partner of Senator Chilton, are personally friendly with the Ohio Executive. An alliance between Governor Harmon and the West Virginia Senators would make a strong combination, and owing to the divided opposition, it would be an especially irksome task to take the West Virginia delegation away from Harmon. To add strength to the Harmon candidacy, National Committeeman John T. McGraw is reputed to be friendly and Watson, Chilton and McGraw working harmony for the Ohioans would insure Harmon the Pan-handle delegation. The persistent reports that Senator C. W. Watson and Governor Harmon have an understanding shows to what an extent the Watson influence has grown in the Democratic party. There is no doubt that the Senator, although a newcomer in the political kingdom, is in the saddle in his own party. Without him it is very unlikely that the Democratic party would have been victorious last fall, and now that he has taken to the political game, it is certain that he intends to stick to the finish. Senator Watson should have an advantage in securing the West Virginia delegation for Judson Harmon. The opposition to Harmon is divided between several other candidates. Woodrow Wilson has a pronounced following,- while Beauchamp Clark has some faithful supporters, and a number of the Bryan backers are foundering around-unable so far to attach themselves to any bandwagon. Although many months have elapsed since the State Central Committee rendered a verdict between the disputing committees, there still exist in the counties of Marion, Mason and Wetzel twin Republican committees, and it is going to require considerable oily talk in these counties to unite the factions and vest the affairs of the party in one single committee. Down in Mason County there exists what is known as the Poffenbarger and the Barbee committees. The former was labeled the regular committee by the State Central Committee, and the verdict was sustained by the Supreme Court of Appeals when that tribunal declared that it could not go behind the action of the State Committee. The recent elimination of the saloons in Point Pleasant, the issue which divided the Democrats as well as the Republicans in Mason County, may unite the warring factions, although the olive branch is not yet suspended. In Marion County the Fleming Committee and the Jacobs-Lehman organization still exist, but it is reported that there is hope of peace in Marion County, which is the home of Senator Watson, and that the white-winged dove of peace may swoop down, bringing a few surprises. The postoffice at Fairmont, the bone of contention, has been settled for at least four years, and when the bone was carted away there was nothing left over which to continue the battle. Wetzel County does not afford the Republican leaders the same worry as Mason and Marion. The latter two are Republican counties, but Wetzel is strongly Democratic, and so long as there are no local offices over which a dispute can be waged the Republicans do not think they will suffer much. Up at Burton, over in the end of Wetzel County, lives Captain John L. Hunt, who many think will be nominated by the Republicans as the successor of State Senator W. C. Grimes, of Marshall County. It is Wetzel's choice next year, and Hunt is said to be about the only man upon whom the Republicans can agree. He is a member of both the McCaskey and Denham Republican Committees in that county, and while taking an active part on each committee is said to give general satisfaction to the leaders of both factions. Right to Vote Not Dependent on Color HOLDS U. S. DISTRICT JUDGES OVERRULING DEMURRERS TO INDICTMENTS AGAINST MARYLAND ELECTION OFFICIALS. Baltimore, Md., July 12.—Race disfranchisement got another hard blow in Maryland the other day, when Judge John C. Rose, of the United States District Court, handed down a decision, in which Judge Thomas J. Morris concurred, overruling the demurrier to the indictments filed against the two Democratic election officials of Charles county and John M. Dulany, a printer of this city, who were alleged to be responsible for the trick ballots used in the congressional election in Charles county in November of last year. The ballots were gotten up in a manner to confuse the illiterate colored voters of that county, while practically making it easy for Democratic illiterates to vote. The indictments were brought under the federal statutes. In his decision, Judge Morris goes at length in defining the various injuries a citizen may suffer, and says: "The right to vote at a congressional election is a right which is not dependent upon the race or color of the voter. The motive of the defendants might have been, as was charged in the indictments, to disfranchise Negro voters. If they knowingly conspired to prevent legal and qualified Negro voters from voting they offended against the statutes. It would make no difference if in trying to do what they wanted to do they also injured other voters." EIGHTH VICTIM Of "Jack the Ripper" Is Found on the Streets of Atlanta. Atlanta, Ga., July 11.—The eighth Negro woman to be murdered here in as many weeks by an unidentified "Jack the Ripper" was found with her throat cut on an unfrequented street to-day. The murder was perpetrated last night. The Negro population of Atlanta is greatly excited over the murders, and the police are making every effort to apprehend the murderer. The Suffrage League of Maryland held a public meeting last night at which plans for encompassing the defeat of the disfranchisement bills in the fall were discussed. Remarkable Influence IS BEING EXERTED BY ATLANTA BAPTIST COLLEGE UNDER PRESIDENT HOPE. Efficient Services In Preparing Young Men for High Literary Work Makes the Institution Rank High in the Southland. Best Schools Represented in Faculty. Atlanta, Ga., July 10—The remarkable influence of the Atlanta Baptist College, John Hope, president serves to show in a peculiar manner the worth of this young man and his intense interest in the people among whom he works. Without calling too much attention to that fact, it can not be denied that his election to the presidency of Atlanta Baptist College, as radical as it was in that he was the first Negro elected to he head of any of the Home Mission Schools, was the beginning of a broader policy on the part of the American Baptist Home Mission Society, and one that has endeared it very much to the Negro people. Atlanta Baptist College is an institution that can point to long and efficient service for the Negro. That service, in preparing young men for high literary work is equally as important as any other training, and the service is performed here in a manner that makes the college second to none in the South. Some graduated from the college course here, going to Chicago University have taken an A. B. degree in nine months, which alone argues much for its efficiency. John Hope, is a graduate from Worcester Academy and Brown University, getting his education by hard work, in much the same way as other Negro boys have received theirs. He rose rapidly in his profession, was a teacher in a school at Nashville, later teacher in Atlanta, and when a change was necessary because of the resignation of Dr. George Sale, he was made president of the Atlanta Baptist College. Mr. Hope declares that the cordial support of the students and his teachers, in the beginning days of his administration was largely responsible for much of his success, and that for several years, teachers worked under high pressure, conscious of the fact that the unattendance must be put forth to make the first Negro administration a howling success. As a result, Atlanta Baptist College stands in the front rank among Negro schools in the South; its boys are readily accepted in Atlanta homes and churches and commanded for their gentlemanly deportment. One surprising feature in connection with the discipline of Atlanta Baptist College, is the fact that it is very largely in the hands of the students themselves. A Y. M. C. A. Cabinet, composed of the officers of the Y. M. C. A. and one member from each class control very largely the discipline among the students and exert a wholesome influence. In athletics the boys have a well earned reputation for cleanliness, and as a rule the athletes make the best students. On the faculty are some individuals from the very best schools of the country, among them, being Rev. Roy L. Van Deman, Franklin College and Rochester Theological Seminary; Rev. Cattlett C. Smith, University of Chicago; Rev. Edwin P. Johnson, Atlanta University; Samuel H. Archer, Colgate; Matthew T. Bullock, Dartmouth; Chas H. Wardlaw, Atlanta Baptist and Columbia; Miss Claudia T. White, Spellman and Oberlin; Robert P. Watts, Virginia Union and Harvard; John T. Williams, Yale, Kansas State and Marquett Medical Colleges; Miss George M. Starr, Potsdam Conservatory of Music, Mrs. Maggie Rogers Howard, Miss Wilhelmina Johnson Miss Carilla, Weems, Spellman; Mrs. D. E. Harvey, Roger Williams University; Alfred D. Jones, Howard Medical College and others. The students for the most part make good, and as an example every graduate from the college department this year has secured good work. John E. Davis and Mordecal W. Johnson are members of Atlanta Baptist faculty; Phillip M. Davis, principal of one of the city schools, Bradingham, Ala.; Samuel A. Gownes, student in theology and assistant teacher; King D. Reidick and Victor C. Turner, teachers in American Institute and John H. Young, teacher in Lakeland, Florida. The Woman's Suffrage party has just appointed two colored women captains in New York City. It is rumored that similar appointments will follow in districts where the colored vote predominates. THREE HUNDRED KILLED. In Skirmish Between the Troops and Rebels in Hayti. Port Au Prince, Hayti, July 11. Several skirmishes between the Government troops, under President Simon, and the rebels have taken place in the last few days around Ft. Liberte, the Government base. The losses on both sides are estimated at 300 dead and several hundred wounded. General Simon's troops are now advancing on Hinche, which is held by the insurgents. WASHINGTON TEACHER INJUR-ED IN WRECK. Boston, Mass., July 12.—Miss Angelina Grimke was among those injured in the wreck of the Federal express at Norwich, Conn. Monday. She was on her way to this city from Washington, where she teaches in the public schools. Miss Grimke is a daughter of Archibald H. Grimke, former consul general to San Domingo. Womans' Baptist State Convention CALL TO MEET AT HINTON AUGUST 16TH, BY THE PRESIDENT, MRS. M. A. W. THOMPSON. The 18th Annual meeting of the Woman's Baptist State Convention will be held in Hinton, August 16, 17, 18, 1911. The convention will be called to order at 9 o'clock, A. M., Wednesday, August 16th. All missionary societies are urged to send delegates, who are thoroughly conversant with the work of their society. Please send delegates who will remain until the convention adjourns, and impress upon them the necessity of attending every session of the convention, as matters of importance to our State work will be voted upon. We want to make this, by far, the best Annual meeting we have ever had. Our program is rife with good things. We expect to have as our guests, Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, president of the National Training School, Washington, D. C., Mrs. B. F. Fox, president of the Virginia Woman's Baptist Educational Convention, Dr. T. M. Hare, State Superintendent Anti-Saloon League of America, Charleston; Rev. A. C. Powell, New York; Mr. Robert Siusa, Transki, Africa, and many others who presence will give prestige, and make our meeting a great one. It is hoped that every member, every society and every district will do their utmost to bring in large amounts of money, which is so badly needed for our educational work. Remember that our rally cry is: "$2,000.00 for Hinton." Miss Burroughs has promised a National banner to the district bringing up the largest amount of money. Let each society make the convention week a week of prayer, for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon those who are assembled to work for God. We especially ask for the united prayers of all our members, that this convention shall be a power for the advancing of the work of Lord throughout our State. Yours, for the success of the Woman's Baptist State Convention. M. M. A. W. Thompson, Bucs National Medical Association CALLED TO MEET AT HAMPTON, VA., AUGUST 22-24 IN THE TWELFTH ANNUAL SESSION. (From the July Crisis.) Brief History:—The National Medical Association was organized in the year 1895 during the Cotton States and International Exposition. The assembly of the Negroes of the medical profession on this occasion was suggested by Dr. I. Garland Penn, Commissioner of Negro Exhibits, and the idea was consummated in the formation of a permanent association. Dr. R. F. Boyd of Nashville, Tenn., has the honor of being the first President of the Association and Atlanta, Ga., its birthplace. Meetings—The meetings of the N. M. A. are by rotation, thus giving each allied State organization the honor and pleasure of being "at home" to its national guest. These meetings, with the exchange of the progressive ideas of the profession and opportunities to witness its recent technical achievements; with the occasions for reciprocal good feelings and hospitality, and a general atmosphere of "It is good to be here," not only afford members of the profession a helpful vacation from the point of rest and change of scenes, but they also add knowledge, prestige, confidence and enthusiasm to their professional stature, and more than compensate them for time and money expended, in increased capacity for greater and grander work. Since the incipiency of the N. M. A., it has convened in twelve annual sessions has been the guest of State organizations North, East, South and West, has increased its membership many fold, has attract- THE ADVOCATE ADVERTISEMENTS PLACED OUR COLUMNS BEING SUBMITTED TRY IN NUMBER XXXVIII. IN ATLANTA POST OFFICE PROTECTS HIS PROTEGES AGAINST CHARGES. Claims Ex-Employee Man Who Never Missed an Apportunity to File Charges Against Fellow Employees is Demoted and Puts up a Kick. Negroes in Majority in P. O. Service. (Regular Correspondence of The Advocate.) Atlanta, Ga., July 11.—"Henry Lincoln Johnson, a Negro politician, now recorder of deeds in Washington, is a personal friend of Postmaster McKee's, and this Negro wields such a considerable influence in the Atlanta postoffice that even Inspector Cisler only grins when charges are made against the Negro's proteges." Thus whined J. F. Thibadeau in tendering his resignation as clerk in the Atlanta postoffice. He was formerly a superintendent of delivery but was reduced to the clerkship in the office. He is a poor loser and cried out in agony because the administration demoted him. Thereby hangs a tale The Negroes in the Atlanta postoffice never had a worse enemy than Thibadeau and if he had possessed the power there would be no black faces there for he groaned always at their display of merit and was ever unhappy when they seemed to act like men. Pressed to the wall; he threw up his job and "cussed out" the administration in general and Hitchcock in particular. His statement occupied an entire page in the Atlanta Sunday Journal. He makes a number of charges but the Negro has been the main thorn in the flesh of Thibadeau during all the years of his connection with the Atlanta postoffice. He never missed an opportunity to file charges against the Negroes in the postoffice here and seemed to be always hunting "an issue" upon which to base some charge against a Negro employee. He was so busy that he perhaps neglected his own duties and the Postoffice Department gave him some of the same medicine he has been having handed out to the Negroes. His whines about Lincoln Johnson are simply echoes of his past treatment of the Negroes. Now the shoe has been tried on the foot of Thibadeau but he couldn't wear it. Lincoln has proven himself worthy of the confidence of Georgians. He has stood by the men of his race and been loyal to his white friends in the party. If any man in the country deserves the title "political leader", Johnson can wear it with grace for he towers head and shoulders above the other politicians in the State. The Negroes of Atlanta have the postoffice. Three-fourths of the clerks and carriers are colored. The two best clerks in the Atlanta postoffice are colored and there are nearly one hundred colored clerks in the railway P. O. service, with hearquarters at Atlanta. Through their connection with the government service in Atlanta, the Colored people of the city get hold of more than $200,000 and spend it among their race members. This is no small sum to figure for and Lincoln Johnson deserves especial credit for the manner in which he has so consistently looked after the interest of his "proteges" in the postoffice at Atlanta. LOUISIANA MERCHANT. Fatally Shoots Alleged Negro Because He Violated Jim Crow Law Potash, La., July 10—George Treadaway, a merchant, today shot and probably fatally wounded Henry Fierelo. Race feeling caused the trouble. Treadaway has no serious quarrel with Fierelo, other than that he understood Fierelo had black blood. He charged that the man was violating the Jim Crow law by riding in a white coach. When the men met today they engaged at once in a pistol duel. EDITOR MILTON S. MALONE BE COMES A BENEDICT. Red Star, July 6.—On yesterday evening, Miss Edith Arabella Thompson, the daughter of Mrs. M. A. W. Thompson, and Milton S. Malone, Editor of The Sentinel, were united in marriage at the residence of Rev. and Mrs. R. S. Gordon in the presence of a few intimate friends and the mother of the bride. The ceremony was impressively performed by Rev. R. S. Gordon. Harriet Tubman, the famous colored woman who helped so many slaves to escape before the Civil War has been taken to the Harriet Tubman Home for the Aged, which she founded in Rochester, to end her days. She is between 95 and 100 years old. It is said she piloted over 300 slaves to freedom. She is now poor, but friends are collecting the money to pay for a nurse for her. --- CORRESPON MT.

The Advocate is entered in the Post-office at Charleston, W. Va., as second class matter. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: Three months ..... $0.50 Six months ..... 1.00 One year ..... 1.50 Collier's, The National Weekly, is so outspoken in its advocacy of civic righteousness, the conservation of natural resources, purity of food and drugs, and all else that makes for humanity's well-being; it opposed the maladministration of Ballinger so strenuously and is so active in the campaign for light on the methods by which Lorimer was elected, that its warning to "Let the South Alone" appears an inconsistency. Why "let the South alone"? Surely Collier's, the foe of Lorimer, who bought his way into the United States Senate, is not a friend of Tillman, who shot his way there? It can not be that this great journal condemns election bribery and approves ballot box stuffing, intimidation and disfranchisement based avowedly on race and color? As The Advocate sees it, the South has been let alone too much. It has been allowed to go too long unchecked in its violations of the Constitution. In its eagerness to close the breach brought on by the South's rebellion, the North has virtually surrendered all it won in that great struggle. Before Fort Anderson fell the South demanded and received representation in the council chambers of the Nation for its freemen and its slaves. Now, though the Constitution enjoins that representation be reduced in proportion to the number of persons dened the right to vote for reasons other than crime or rebellion, the South has not been molested in its open infraction of this Amendment. The sanctity of the homes of a certain class of citizens at the South is violated, they are deprived of their lives without due process of law, taxed without representation and discriminated against in the courts of justice, yet this loud voice from the North cries "Let The South Alone". This national condonement of if not actual participation in Southern abuses bodes ill for the Nation's future. It were better if the laws which are flouted daily were repealed than that they should remain on the statute books dead letters, monuments of the Nation's weakness. If the South is to be let alone lest he who demands the enforcement of the law be accused of reverting to reconstruction days and waving the bloody shirt, put the South square with the Constitution or the Constitution square with the South. A STORY OF NEGLECT But half the sad story of suffering and death of those who are carrying the Master's word into the Dark Continent is told in the letter of the Rev. L. R. Jordon, secretary of the Baptist Foreign Mission Board, printed elsewhere in this issue of The Advocate. Lack of space forbade his reciting the hardships under which Dr. Boney labored and how he died owing debts aggregating $1,200, contracted on the assumption that the millions of his brethren here would keep their plighted word and support him not only with their prayers, but also with their means. Rev. Jordan does not tell how the younger Boney assumed this obligation, rightfully belonging to the great Baptist denomination in America, and, finding the burden too heavy to bear, died "doing his best for God and Africa". Nor did he go into details concerning the plight of the Murf family, Baptist missionaries, who are stranded in a London hospital awaiting means to get home More largely because it is requested to do so than because it thinks to accomplish the desired end, The Advocate calls the church's attention to its duty to those to whom it has delegated the carrying of the Word to the heathen. Those for whom Rev. Jordan pleads went to Africa with the distinct understanding that they would have the financial backing of those who sent them. Instead they have been neglected, if not forgotten. While their brethren here have disdinated the promised contributions In attending numerous associations and conventions, their foreign representatives have been left to tread the wine press alone. They have turned a deaf ear to the voice from across the sea and turned into the coffers of the railroads more than enough this year than would be required to keep every one of their missionaries in comfort for a decade. But why dwell upon this subject of criminal negligence and indifference? An organ of the church holds that these gatherings are necessary for inspiration, that money for the cause is thus collected as would be possible in no other way. And yet two missionaries are dead and another and his family stranded in a London hospital simply because in obedience to the divine injunction "go ye into all the world and preach my gospel," they depended upon a forgetful people for the means necessary to carry on the work. ANOTHER RELIGIOUS GRAFTER. Vol. 1. No. 1 of the True Light. . published by the True Light Army, the High Educational College of Glory and the Grand Supreme Holy Trinity Association, Rt. Rev. Justis James Evans, D. G. editor, lies before us. Speaking of himself, the editor says: "Jesus Christ came to John and was baptised by John in Jordan, and Archbishop Evans, D. G., is a greater light than John. He is one that is just like Jesus. He is a true light. He, like Christ, came unto his own, and his own received him not. But since Christ the Lord was here in manhood clothing there has not another risen like him until Archbishop Evans came in His likeness, and he is the forerunner of Christ in His second coming, as John was in His first coming." There have come to our attention some few exhibitions of exaggerated ego and cases of celebral elephantiasis, but the Rt. Rev. Justis James Evans, D. G. is the "best ever". He calls himself the forerunner of Christ, but The Advocate will willingly wager ten to one that he is conducting as cute a little scheme of graft as was ever hatched in the brain of a human being. SICK EM It might be well for Mayor Gaynor to delegate his first and only colored appointee on the Gotham police force to preserve the peace between the New York Age and the Amsterdam News, each of which is now claiming that he "saw it first" in bringing about the appointment. A few more exchanges of polite notes and the case will reach the point where the Hague Peace Court might claim jurisdiction. NOT IN THE STATE HOUSE BUT IN TOWN BUT IN THE STATE. The Jackson Herald misses the mark when it says: "The Advocate, edited from the State Library, is the latest sufferer from the panic produced from Republican conferences held outside the State House." The Advocate has neither exhibited nor felt any alarm at the holding of conferences of Republicans wherever they might gather, but it has questioned the wisdom of attempts to name the ticket outside the limits of the State. This was one of the chief causes for complaint before the last general election, and it could be avoided with profit at this time. THE STATE COMMITTEE With the report that the Republican State Committee is to meet it, September arises again the demand for a change of the personnel of that body, but just how this change is to be effected those who are most insistent that it be brought about seem at a loss to point the way. The Committee is elected by the State Convention and is the supreme authority in the affairs of the party. Each member has all the rights and privileges of the others, and none have the power to oust a member nor to fill a vacancy if created. Is there any wonder then that however great the desire may be in some quartes that certain members should step down and out, no method is proposed to encompass the end desired? But even if there were a way by which they could be satisfied in this respect, there are not apparent any good grounds why it should be done. Shortly after the compromise of the last gubernatorial campaign, the Committee adopted the Ogden resolution which provides for the selection of delegates to the State Conventions or primaries held in each magisterial district on the same day, and that these primaries on conventions be absolutely free from the domination of either the County or State Committee. It is further provided that no candidate shall name any of these delegates and that they shall vote as magisterial district units rather than by counties, as heretofore. This method relieves the State Committee in the future from the suspicion that it dictated the nominations, and it also robs those of their thunder who have been the loudest in charging fraud.

Jones to the under-signed trustees, dated March 80, 1907, and recorded in the office of clerk of the County Court of Kanawha County, West Virginia, in Trust Deed Book 30, page 67, to secure to Jackson County Building and Loan Association the payment of a certain loan therein described, default having been made in the payment thereof for more than three months; we, or the trustee present and acting on the day of sale, shall on Saturday, August 12, 1911, beginning at 10 o'clock A. M. at the front door of the Court House of Kanawha County, West Virginia, on Court Street, in the City of Charleston, proceed to sell the property conveyed by said deed of trust, at public auction, to the highest bidder, for cash, that certain lot of land with the improvements and appurtenances, situate in the City of Charleston, West Virginia, on the north corner of Court and Donally Streets, which lots fronts on Donally Street 125 feet, and runs back with Court Street 125 feet, more or less, being the lot with the house formerly occupied by the said J. M. Jones, and on which Lewis Jones and Ellen Jones formerly lived, and being the same property conveyed to Lewis Jones by Levi J. Woodyard, Trustee of the Charleston Extension Company, by deed dated August 18, 1866, and recorded in the office of clerk of the County Court of Kanawha County, West Virginia, in Deed Book "Z", page 280, and being the same property conveyed unto the said J. M. Jones by Lewis Jones by deed dated September 1, 1884, and recorded in the office of clerk of the County Court of Kanawha County, West Virginia, in Deed Book 41, page 555. Miscellaneous Notes of the Race A plan to admit colored citizens to the Overton Park zoo has been discussed by the Park Commission of Memphis, Tenn., at a special meeting of the Park Board. The idea is that the Negroes may be admitted on certain days, to be designated by the Park Board, probably not oftener than twice a month, or possibly once a week. The chairman of the board believes that the colored children who are pupils in the city schools should be admitted when accompanied by their teachers, and that possibly other Negroes, upon obtaining special permission from the Park Board including the parents of the school children, might be admitted on these days without any danger of friction between the races. Two weeks ago a little colored boy was taken to New Rochelle, N. Y., and there abandoned. Pending a decision as to what should be done with him the child was kept in the police station which is in the same buildings with the other city departments of the town. He hear the men complaining of the rats which were so large they frightened even the cat, and having nothing else to do he secured a bit of cheese, fastened it to the end of a fishing line, and dropped it down a rat hole. In the three days he was kept in the police station he caught sixty-seven rats, and before he was sent off to an asylum he was taken to the mayor or to be thanked for his services. A collection was taken up to buy him a little watch. On her arrival at a hotel in New York the other day a young lady from Savannah discovered that she had left three diamond rings, said to be worth nearly $2,000 in a Pullman car. She remembered having placed them on the ledge of the window near which she was sitting. She informed the room clerk of the hotel and he immediately called up the railroad company. On her return from the theatre one night the owner of the rings was told that the porter of the Pullman car had found the rings and that she would receive them at the hotel. Mr. W deForest Brush, the well-known New York artist, received a few weeks ago a call from a young colored lad who asked if he might show him some water-color paintings that he had made at his home near Charleston, W. Va. The boy produced his pictures, which Mrs. Brush at once saw showed nothing short of genius. Without any instruction, except such knowledge of colors as came to him through his trade of sign painter, the boy produced work of great delicacy, beauty and truthfulness. Mr. Brush wishes to teach the lad himself, and the Association is raising money to support the boy during his years of instruction. NEGRO MILITIA Albany, N. Y., July 12.—A Negro regiment will form a portion of the National Guard of New York State in the near future, according to a bill passed by the Legislature. There was considerable opposition to the measure by members who declared unalterable opposition to any legislation which drew lines of race or of creed. TENNIS TOURNEY Grand Forks, N. D., July 10. The annual lawn tennis tournament to decide the North Dakota championships opened on the Town Club courts here today with an entry list that gives promise of some keen competitions. The play will continue until the end of the week and simultaneously with the State titles will be decided the Red River Valley championships. The Sunday Schools of the First Union District which include all the schools between White Sulphur and Hinton are requested to send a delegate to represent its interests in the organization of the First District Union at Alderson, July 23th and 27th. The first session will be held at 2 o'clock Wednesday, p. m. It is desired that the schools will choose their representatives at once and report their names to the Superintendent of Mission. USED PROFANE LANGUAGE A woman named Hattie Meadows was fined $4.50 this morning by Squire Hill on the charge of using profane language. The warrant was secured by a woman named Debolt, who lives in the same building as the defendant. NOT MUCH OF A TASK Ashland, Ky. (Clyffeside Park), July 8.—It was not much of a task for the Ashland-Catlettsburg aggregation to clean up with the newly formed Middleport-Pomeroy team, and when the dust of battle subsided the score board showed five tallies for the locals and a whitewash for the visitors. Sire pitched for the Catts and worked well, allowing but six scattered hits and at no time in the contest being in danger of losing his game. Both Witter and Osborne tried their arms in the box but neither was effective, although neither allowed many hits. FUNERAL NOTICE The funeral of Mrs. Donnie Pinkney, who died at the Virginia hotel Saturday evening after four weeks' sickness, was held from the Gazettz and Hazlewood undertaking parlors, 609 Summers street, at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon. Mrs. Pinkney had been a guest at the Virginia hotel for four weeks, having come here from Keystone. Her home is supposed to be in Salem, N. C., but all efforts to locate her people there of her husband in Pittsburg have failed up to this time. Interment will be made in Spring Hill cemetery. CONCLAVE OF IOWA TEMPLARS Spirit Lake, Ja., July 8.—With flying banners and waving plumes hundreds of Knights Templar from all over Iawa gathered here today for the conclave of the grand commandery and the State encampment of the uniform rank of the order. The camp was formally opened this afternoon on the shore of Spirit Lake. Tomorrow there will be devotional services under the direction of Grand Prelate Eminent Sir J. W. Ingham, of Mount Pleasant. The greater part of the coming week will be given over to sessions of the grand commandery and to drill and parades of the uniform rank. 45 MILES OF ROAD IN A DAY Ottawa, Kas., July 10.—If the plans and expectations of leading citizens of Coffey, Osage and Franklin counties are fulfilled there will be constructed in this section tomorrow, between sunrise and sunset, an improved highway, 45 miles in length. Practically every abled-bodied man in the three counties have volunteered to aid in the work. The road will follow the old Santa Fe trail cut-off and will connect this city with the town of Lebo. TO TRY PASTOR FOR HERESY Pittsburg, Pa., July 8.—The first heresy trial held by the Reformed Presbyterian Church in more than half a century is scheduled to begin here Monday, with the Rev. Dr. John H. Dietrich, pastor of St. Mark's Memorial Reformed Church of this city, as the defendant. Dr. Dietrich has ideaoverncernedSTEHRD vbgk b44 professed to represent the newer ideas of progress and advancement in church and scriptural doctrine. He has said that he does not believe there ever was a fall of man. This and similar utterances from the pulpit form the basis for the heresy charges. The Iron Moiers' International Union has held no convention for three years. The average age at which factory employees begin work in Hungary and Spain is ten years. In the Netherlands the predoimnant hours of labor in most industries are ten to eleven per day. MOTORCYCLE CHAMPIONSHIPS Buffalo. N. Y., July 10.—The patray days of the League of American Wheelmen, when thousands of devotees of the old "high wheel" were wont to gather for their annual national assembly, will be recalled in Buffalo this week by the national meet of the Federation of American Motorcyclists, which bids fair to become as widespread in its membership as the old organization which flourished a quarter of a century ago. The entire week is to be given up to the meet. The arrival of the delegates, nearly all of whom are "chug-chugging" their way to the convention city, many from points as far distant as Boston and Chicago, will occupy the first three days of the week. Beginning Thursday and continuing until Saturday night there will be business sessions, races, parades and numerous features of entertainment to keep the visitors busy.

The meeting in Washington last year was by far the largest and best attended the Association has witnessed. The Tide Water Medical Association as host of the National Medical Association at Hampton, Va., August 22-24, 1911, promises through its Local Committee that nothing will be left undone to make this meeting eclipse any the Association has held. Hampton possess several natural advantages that assist the committee in fulfilling its promise. First, the location—Somewhat on the border line between the North and the South—in the midst of a populous district, easily approachable by rail or water, excellent climatic conditions, beautiful scenery—historic surroundings, splendid water ways with invigorating sea breezes, and opportunities for shore lounging and surf bathing—a veritable summer resort. It would be hard to find a place better suited for holding the meeting. A cordial invitation is extended to Physicians, Dentists and Pharmacists, and their relatives and friends, to spend three days amidst these surroundings. The Hampton Institute opens its doors and welcomes you to its beautiful buildings and grounds. It is an inspiration to simply eter the atmosphere of the place. The Program Committee is arranging a program that is in keeping with the dignity of the personnel of the distinguished body. The scientific program is arranged with the idea of furnishing intellectual entertainment for all. Sectional work will be done to a degree not attempted before. An effort is being made to secure special rates. Should this fail, summer tourist rates are on to Old Point Comfort all the season. You are earnestly invited to be present. Members of the Association who find it impossible to attend are urged to send a letter with their annual dues. A cordial invitation is extended alike to Physicians, Dentists and Pharmacists to join the Association. The membership fee is now ($3.00) three dollars per year, which includes the Journal. Desired information will be gladly furnished. Very truly yours. National Medical Association. JOHN A. KENNEY, General Secretary. Special to Dentists Dental Section:—The organization of the Dental Section of the N. M. A., was effected through the persistent efforts of Dr. W. S. Lofton, Washington, D. C., as Corresponding Dental Secretary, and the hearty co-operation of Dr. M. A. Van Horne, of Newport, R. L., Dental member of the Executive Committee of the N. M. A., during the annual session of the Association at Baltimore, Md., August, 1907. The Dental Section enjoys rights, privileges and opportunities of the general sessions and of special Dental Section meetings. It has representation, voice and ballot on the floor, on Executive, Program and Censor, and special committees of the general body. Besides, the Dental Section has separate organization for the conduct of independent business and the deliberations and demonstrations on special subjects. Our brothers of Therapy and Surgery, Pathology and Hygiene, recognize that we have too many problems of Diagnosis and Cure, Prevention and Correction, being limited in our therapeutic and operative procedures only by acceptance of MEN'S STRAW HATS 98c Former $1.50, $2.00 and $2.50 Values.

A., may receive upon request (or you may enclose cost, 25 cents, in stamps: I assure you that it is worth it—and more) a complimentary copy of the Journal of the N. M. A. It is a literary jewel, in which the skill of type and design, and the scholarship and genius of its editors and contributors, seem to vie with one another to give this gem a position and luster second to none in the brilliant diadem of the profession's heralds. An Appeal:—We want every Negro Doctor of Dental Surgery enrolled in the ledger of the N. M. A. Three dollars ($3.00) a year for membership in an organization of rank and worth in keeping with its national scope, including that masterpiece—The Journal of the N. M.

Recorder Johnson Smashes all Records. Washington, D. C., July 12—The twelfth annual commencement of the Clarke Training School was held at Gatbraith A.M. B. Zion Church Wednesday evening, in the presence of a large audience, and the exercises were of an unusually high order. Mrs, Addie R. Clarke, the indefatigable principal, presided, and Miss Annie Costin acted as mis- tress of ceremonies. Rey. Dr. 8. L. Corrothers, pastor of Galbraith, de- livered a practical address to the class for expert training for the ev- eryday duties of life, and aroused his hearers to a high pitch of en- thustasm, While urging the classi- cal education for those able to se- enre and use it, he dwelt with en- ergy upon the fact that the masses must work with their handa, and in order that this work shall bring the desired results in money and gat- is faction to patrons, the hands of the workers should be trained un- der the most desirable auspices, The graduates in dressmaing were Mary Magdalene Battle and Ger- trude Ore Duncan, Washington, D. €.;-Mazie Ann Hopson, Cary) N.

C, ‘The program, besides the schol- arly address of Dr. Corrothers, em- braced the invocation by Rev. 0. P. Goodwin, of St. Louis, Mo., an instrumental solo, Miss Josephine Calloway; a vocal solo, Miss Mary Battle; and an interesting talk on women's work in the making of homes by Mrs. Rosetta E, Lawson. The diplomas were presented by Miss Ella M. Boston, who took oe- casion to laud the labors of Mre Clarke in this fundamental work of vocational training, holding that in inculcating in the young women of the race a proper conception of the dignity and importance of labor, and emphasizing the saving value of skill in domestic sctence and in the various trades for women, the founder of this splendid school is proving herself a genuine benefac- tvess ta humanity. ‘The ushers were Misses Pmma Battle, Ethel Garnett, Jennie Mallett, Laura Jasper and Odessa Newberry. The class motto was “Ever Onward,” and the colors were purple and white. The plat- form, occupied by a score or more of prominent. citizens, was beauti- Tully decorated after a design work- ed out by Mrs, Clarke and the un- dergraduates The Clarke ‘Training School was organized on a modest scale in 1889 by Mrs. Addie H, Clarke, who came here from North Cavolina, and it has crown each year in numercial strength and has wielded an increas- ing influence in inducing the people to look upon the once-despised do- mestic science and the trades with the proper pride—to learn that skill in cooking, dressmaking, _ hilinery, laundering, table waiting, care of ta ble linen and acessories, general housework and a study of the nutri- tive value of food-stuffs are as es- sential to the happiness and well- being of the human family as prep- aration in any other department of the world's work, and no less digni- fied than any profession, ‘Through her connection with leading society ladies of the nation's capital, Mrs. Clarke has been able to become an active force in the Housekeepers’ Alliance, having for its object the securing of competent help for the homes of the wealthy, and thus she has fhund lucrative and pleasant employment for all her graduates who have cared to remain here, ana has placed advantageously many who have gone elsewhere, During the twelve years of its existence, the Clarke Training School has sent out from its various departments— cooking, the laundry, dressmaking, plain sewing, millinery and house- keeping, 439 graduates, all of whom have “made good.” Numbers of the young women have gone into the dressmaking and millinery business for themselves, or have steady om- ployment at good salaries in’ fami- les, and others are teaching in some of the largest educational in- stitutions in the South.

No appreciable opposition to the renomination of President ‘Tatt has made its appearance in any state.

Pinch- back, of Louisiana, now a citizen of the State of New York, recently ap- pointed a special agent in the In ternal Revenue service at New York City, in charge of collecting the cor- voration tax, hag been covered into the civil service, by order of Presi- dent Taft. This will insure the re- tention of the race's. “grand ald man” in the federal employ for life The news will ve gratifying to ah who know of the splendid work this almost sole survivor of the “Old Guard did for the race in the tem- pestuous reconstruction period, fol- lowing the civil war, when the fn- ture of the Republic was trembling in the balance and when freedom granted by the arbitnament of arms was still problematical. No appoint- ment President Taft has made has endeared him more to the rank and file of the colored people of the country than that of Governor Pimchback. STEAMER “RIVER: SEEN BUNS. The steamer “River Queen,” the enly excursion boat at the disposal of colored patrons on the Potomac this summer, was burned to the wa- ter’s edge late Saturday night. ‘The fire was caused by the explesion of a@ signal light at the stern of the vessel. ‘The steamer being old and ary, burned like a tinder box, and was too far Kone when the fire was discovered to be saved, although the crew and the city firemen mado a kame fight. The loss is estimated to be filly $50,000, with no insur- ance. ‘The boat was the property of the syndicate that operates Wast- ington Park, a tiver resort for col- ored people, and was under lease to a colored amusement — company, headed by Lewis Jefferson. A prof itable business had been carried on by the Jefferson company for severat seaxons. An effort will be made at once to sectre another boat, as scores of existing charters must be honored in ‘some way The River Queen, rated to carry 1,100 passengers, was a dispatch hoat of President Lincoln during the civil war, and for nearly fifty years was used ax an excursion boat for white people from Washington, to Baltimore, after which it was turn ed over to the colored people.

S Bea re eg Cate ee eee Tee All records in the office of the Recerder of Deeds were smashed in the fiscal year 1911, according to a statement made by Col, Henry Lin- coln Johnson, the affable and ener xetic Recorder of Deeds for the Dis- trict of Columbia. In the volume of business done an increase of 325 papers is shown in the total record- ation of the past fiscal year over its predecessor, 1910, which had been the banner year in the history of the office. The total number of papers filed for record between July 1, 1910, and June 20, 1911, was 2h,- 226. ‘The total receipts for the year in the office from all sources were $43,- 437.80, an advance of nearly $500 over the receipts of the — previons best year in the office’s history. By reducing the expenses of the past fiseal year by $157.59, the office js enabled to show a net resource of $12,966.37. | Congress authorized the purchase of twenty-five new book typewriters for making records, and this cost $5,882.50, which was paid out of ‘the revenues of the office, and a bal- ance of $9,082.87 covered into the ‘treasury, to be placed to the credit of the Distriet of Columbia. At one time the Recordership of ‘Deeds was a “fee” office, the Re- order collecting the fees from pa- ‘trons, paying all operating expenses ‘from such collections, and the re- mainder went to him. It is said that the office in good years was worth from $15,000 to $20,000 per annum, Later it was made a salaried office at $4,000 per annum, and all moneys over and above the cost of of operat- ‘ing expenses and allowances — by ‘Congress for special obligations, were paid Into the National Treasu- ry. There are a few places in the office which call tor annual salaries, but the greater portion of the em: ployes are paid by the “piece,” re- ceiving one-third of the price charg- ed for the papers recorded by the eopyist." Hach copyist is given all of the papers received on a given day, retiring when the “bundle” is completed and returning when his or her “day” comes again. Some of the move rapid writers earn as much as $100 per month, and as the limit is kept low, each copyist is able to be almost continuously employed. Recorder Johnson is making a de- termined effort to seture an advance for clerks and zopyists, and his ad- milrable showing for the current year will doubtless encotirage Con! &ress to grant his very proper re- wise. SECOND LIRUTENANTS, PROM CIT LIFE. It will be of eapectal interest “to young colored men wite are anxious for a military career to note that after the assignment of West Point graduates to the corps of eng'neers this year, there will stilt exist ten vacancies in the grade of second fieutenant in that corps. ‘These will be filled from civil life, as provided for in the last river and harbor act which increased the corps, and an order is now being prepared by the war department. for competitive ex- amination of civilian candidates. To be eligible a civilian must be an un- married citizen Gf the United States between the ages of 21 and 29.

Values CLUBS FOR NEGRO WOMEN OF AMERICA NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF COLORED WOMEN'S ORGANIZATION EXISTS EVERYWHERE FOR THE PURPOSE OF UPLIFTING AND INSTRUCTING UNFORTUNATE MEMBERS OF THE RACE. While the wonderful growth of taught tarming and the raising of the club movement and the growing power of the General Federation of Woman's Clubs, reaching from India to the Canal zone, has received much attention, there is one branch of clubs for women of which we hear almost nothing—the clubs for Negro women of North America, and but few persons, comparatively, know that there is such a thing as the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs, with a State Federation in every state in the Union. The Arkansas Federation is to establish a reading room in Little Rock, the president stating, "The object for our future work is to help lift from the gutters and save for the betterment of our race, our young boys and girls who are wasting their lives in vice and riots living." The Kentucky Federation has for 16 years conducted Colored Orphans' Industrial Home at Lexington, where they now own The work of these clubs is along the same lines as the clubs of white women and they have departments embracing social science, art, literature, work for young women, domestic science, home, suffrage for women, evangelistic work, mothers clubs, rescue work, parliamentary law, music, kindergartens, business juvenile court, forestry, church and religious work. It will be notice that in one particular, that of having a suffrage department, the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs is in advance of the General Federation of Women's Clubs which has so far slied at the subject. The official publication of the National Association of Colored Women, a monthly magazine called National Notes, published at Tuskegee, Ala., under the supervision of Mrs. Booker T. Washington, who is vice president at large, is of absorbing interest, with its splendid papers and letters telling of the work of the different State associations. In Pennsylvania the State Federation of which Mrs. Rebecca Aldridge of Pittsburg is president, Mrs. Blanche Dillard of New Castle, secretry, and Mrs. Lena Harris of Johnstown, organizer, has established and supported for the past three years a home for destitute Negro children in Lawrence County, three miles west of New Castle. The women purchased a five-acre farm on which was a house of five rooms to which they have since built an addition. This was a much-needed work, as there has been difficulty in finding good home for colored children who came into the Juvenile Court. Mrs. Sadie Hamilton, the Negro Juvenile Court officer for Allegheny County, is vice president of the State Federation. The State organization was formed in Pittsburg in the fall of 1903, and most of its clubs are in Western Pennsylvania. All Support Some Charity. Most of the State Federations support some home, or they are preparing to do so. During the past three years the Alabama Federation has given over three thousand dollars to the support of a farm reformatory for Negro boys who would otherwise be in jail and penitentiaries with hardened criminals. Nearly three hundred boys between the ages of 7 and 12 years have been cared for during this time, and have been taught farming and the raising of pigs and chickens. The Arkansas Federation is training to establish a reading room in Little Rock, the president stating, "The object for our future work is to help lift from the gutters and save for the betterment of our race, our young boys and girls who are wasting their lives in vice and riotous living." The Kentucky Federation has for 16 years conducted a Colored Orphans' Industrial Home at Lexington, where they now own 18 acres of ground, two large brick buildings, a blacksmith and shoe shop, the property being worth nearly $15,000. These examples could be multiplied to include almost every state in the union, and the Negro women of Oklahoma have just organized a State Federation. Many of the State Federations support homes for aged and poor Negroes. At the last meeting of the National Federation of Colored Women it was unanimously decided to establish a Harriet Beecher Stowe Memorial Association for the purpose of intimately commemorating the birth of Mrs. Stowe. Mary Church Terriit, president of this association, says this memorial will likely be a scholarship in one of the best colleges, and suggests making June 14, the date of Mrs. Stowe's birth, a memorial day for the coeded race. The national association holds biennial meetings, the last being at Louisville, Ky., to which Mrs. Charles L. Weaver, wife of the ex-Mayor of the city, brought greetings from the State Federation of White Woman. Clue of Kentucky. Miss Elizabeth C. Carter of New Bedford, Mass., was elected for a second term as president, and given a great ovation. Miss Carter has established through her personal efforts, continuing through many years, a home for aged colored men and women in New Bedford. Miss Carter strongly desires a traveling teacher to go from State to State, holding neighborhood meetings with practical demonstrations in preparing food in modern methods of hygiene, care of children, the beautifying of homes and grounds, economy and the use of labor saving devices, and the selection of books and periodicals. She speaks of the need of trained workers for teachers, and expresses the hope that some day the national association will see its way clear to the establishment of a national training home. Miss Carter has completed a tour of the States, visiting the different clubs. Some years ago the State Federation of Negro Women of Pennsylvania asked permission of the New Era Club of Western Pennsylvania for two of its members to attend the meetings of the New Era Club that they might learn of the white women and thus make a more useful organization of their own. The request raised a tuppew in a teapot. a few of the women objecting to the presence of the Negro woman. How ever, the permission was given and the Negro woman attended several meetings. On looking over the work of the colored women's clubs the question cannot help arise whether the white women could not learn much from the colored woman in regard to club work and aims There is a fervency and a religious zeal about the reports in the national association notes which make the articles in the Federation Bulletin, the official organ of the General Federation of Clubs of White Women, seem cold and formal. Meetings More Informal. The meetings of the State Federation are more informal than that of the white women of Pennsylvania, and many more children play about the room while their mothers convene than are seen in a convention of white women. In words of Mrs. Booker T. Washington, "Our women are doing fine work under the circumstances. You know that the colored people have not quite so much money as other people, now have we had the same opportunities; but we have done the best we could under the circumstances and are still doing our best." One of the best things accomplished by the clubs is that of the Missouri Federation, through whose efforts there has recently been enacted in that state a law establishing a state institution for the training of colored girls. The National Association of Colored Women was established in 1896 for the purpose of "Securling harmony of action and cooperation among all women in raising to the highest plane the home, moral and civic life." Its motto is "Lifting as We Climb." The national association is a member of the National Council of Women founded in 1886 by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and for which entrance fee is $100. At the earlier meetings of the Negro women were represented by Frederick Douglass, but in 1901 the colored women's organization became a regular member and at the last meeting of the council in Cleveland greetings were brought from 450,000 Negro Women by their representative, Mrs. William H. Talbert. "It means very much to the National Association of Colored Women," says Mrs. Talbert, "to be associated with such an organization representing more than 3,000,000 women." Mrs. Talbert is parliamentarian of the National Association of Colored Women. Her home is in Buffalo, N. Y., where she is librarian of the graded teachers' union, an organization of more than 100 teachers. She is a member of the National Association of Collegiate Alumnae, being the only Negro woman in Buffalo who is eligible to membership. The following national organizations are represented in the National Council of Women; The Young Ladies' National Mutual Improvement Association, the National Woman's Suffrage Association, the National Women's Relief Society, National Christian League for the Promotion of Social Purity, the Universal Peace Union, the National Association of Loyal Women of American Liberty, National Women's Relief Corps, Ladies of the Maccabees of the World, Ladies of the Modern Maccabees, Council of Jewish Wom- ```markdown ``` en, National Florence Crittenden Mission, National Association of Colored Women, Ladies of the Grand Army of the Republic, Grand Circle of Woodcraft and National Woodmen's circle. Started in Boston. Started in Boston. The courtesy and fellowship extended to the Negro women by this council brings to mind the dramatic incidents attending the repudiation of the Era Club of Boston by the General Federation of Women's Clubs at the biennial of 1902 at Los Angeles, Cal. The Boston Era Club, which is composed of both white and colored women, with the latter predominating, had joined the Massachusetts State Federation of Women's Clubs and on its recommendation applied for membership in the General Federation shortly before the biennial in Milwaukee he 1900. The dues of the Era Club were accepted and a letter of congratulation sent by the president of the General Federation, Mrs. Rebecca Douglass Lowe. As its delegate to the Milwaukee biennial the Era Club sent its president, Mrs. Josephine St. P. Ruffin, wife of Judge Ruffin. When Mrs. Lowe., who is a Southern woman, and other Southern women, as well as some of those of the North, saw that Mrs. Ruffin was a Negro, and they learned for the first time that the Era Club was composed mainly of Negro women, there was a great to-do and the managers refused to allow Mrs. Ruffin to take her seat as a delegate. Mrs. Ruffin is also a member of the Boston Press Club, being the only colored woman in the club. She was told that she might take her seat as a representative of that club, but that she could not represent a club of Negro women. This she refused to do, saying that she could only represent the club from which she had been sent as a delegate. The dues of the Era Club were returned to her. The Massachusetts State Federation, of which Mrs. May Alden Ward was then president, was greatly stirred up over the incident and conceiving a plan of re-organization of the General Federation, which would compel it to receive all delegates from clubs belonging to the State Federations. Mrs. M. Estelle Merrill visited many of the clubs of the state in the interest of this plan of re-organization, and through her influence the Waltham Woman's Club sent Mrs. Kate Leyson Brown, the well known writer and club woman, as a delegate to the next biennial, with instructions to help all she could in the righting what the Massachusetts Federation had declared an injustice to one of its clubs. But shortly before the biennial which was held at Los Angeles, the Massachusetts Federation had a change of heart, or at least of policy, in regard to the matter, and on the way to Los Angeles Mrs. Brown learned of this change of front, and that she would likely be the only advocate of the colored women at the biennial. Instructions were given an the erain to the delegates of the Massachusetts Federation not to bring up the subject of re-organization, as it was found not to be practicable. Mrs. Brown, who is of famous old Welsh fighting stock, refused to lay down her colors and declared she would obey the instructions of the Waltham Woman's Club, which she represented. It turned out that with the exception of one other woman who spoke early in the convention, she was the only champion of the colored women during the whole biennial. Drowned Her Down Drowned Her Down. Twice Mrs. Brown attempted to speak, once on an entirely different subject, but she was refused a hearing, as she had by her outspoken determination, become known as the woman who was to bring up the subject of admitting the clubs of Negro women At her first attempt to speak she was pulled down by frightened members of the Massachusetts delegation, although she rose to speak on a topic which had nothing to do with the tabooed subject; and during aull at the close of the last session having been promised permission to speak by Mrs. Lowe, she arose and attempted to get a hearing as there was no business at that time before the Federation. Mrs. Lowe hesitated, as if not knowing what to do, and Mrs. Brown reminded her of her promise that she should be heard. Just at that moment Mrs. Mav Alden Brown arose and declared Mrs. Brown out of order as the question she wished to bring up was a personal one and not one indorsed by the Massachusetts Federation. Mrs. Brown then turned and faced the crowd and cried out, "I appeal to the open convention." Mrs. Lowe, however, declared her out of order and, seeing that further effort to be heard was useless, she sat down. The incident created a great stir at the time and the Waltham Woman's Club voted to send a letter protesting against the discourtesy to one of its members. But from that time to this questions of clubs of colored women have been a sealed one with the General Federation.

Pitcher Karger of the Boston Red Sox is out of the game on account of an injured arm. Earl Mack, son of Manager Connie Mack of the Athletics, is playing with the Harrisburg Tri-State league team. Fielder Jones, former manager of the White Sox, is scouting for the St. Louis Browns on the Pacific coast. Owner Comiskey says that his White Sox have the class and will make a hot fight for the American League honors. Pittsburg fans claim that Hal Chase has nothing on Honus Wagner, who is guarding Hassock No. 1 for the Pirates. With the exception of Suggs, the Cincinnati pitchers don't seem to be able to go the distance and land in the win column. Joe Jackson continues to play fine ball, and with Lajoie back in the game the Cleveland Naps will be able to start something. Alexander the Great put a crimp in every team he met until he struck Brooklyn. The Superbas hung a wee-wah on the Quaker star. The Giants are holding their own in spite of the absence of heavy hitters on the team. Chief Meyers is the only .300 hitter with the outfit. "Doc" Newton, Jesse Tannehill and Bill Bailey, former American League pitchers, are all doing slab duty in the Southern League this season. WITH THE RONERS Sam Langford and Jack Driscoll, of Canada, will meet in Winnipeg, on July 29. Jack Ward, the English Nightweight, who came to this country with Matt Wells, has returned home Bill Squires will return to the ring, having agreed to meet Bill Lang in Sydney next month. When the pair met a year ago Lang gave Squires an awful beating. JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN IS 75 London, July 8.—Joseph Chamberlain, who a few years ago was the most conspicuous man in British political life, celebrated his seventy-fifth birthday anniversary today, having been born July 8, 1836. In honor of the occasion meetings were held throughout the country by the various branches and federations of the Tariff Reform League. At his home in Birmingham, Mr. Chamberlain received a veritable flood of congratulatory messages from all parts of the empire. His home city was profusely decorated in honor of the occasion and a great public demonstration was held. Though Mr. Chamberlain's health has shown some signs of improvement the past year it is not believed he will ever be in condition to again take an active part in public affairs.
