THE AFRICAN MERICAN LEDGER. VOL. XIX. NO. 5. EX-MINISTER LYON TENDERED FARE WELL RECEPTION CITIZENS OF LIBERIAN REPUBLIC PAY GLOWING TRIBUTE TO THE RE TIRING MINISTER President Barclay and Vice President Dossen Express Regret at The Retirement of Minister Ernest Lyon-Has Done Much During Past Eight Years To Help The Little Black Republic Want Him To Remain as one of Their Citizens-Banquet was GENERAL TO THE AFRICAN AMERICAN DEPARTMENT Monrovia, Liberia, Sept. 3—One of the most elaborate and representative receptions in the history of Liberia, and the only one of its nature ever tendered to a foreign representative, was tendered the retiring United States Minister, Rev. Ernest Lyon, in the Executive Mansion, by the government representatives and the people of the republic. The President and Vice President, the entire cabinet, Senators and Representatives from most of the countries and the leading private citizens met to give a public expression of the high esteem in which the entire Republic ex-Minister Lyon and to give evidence of gratitude for the inestimable work, uniting zeal and strength which he has shown in the foreign relations of the government in the most crucial period of the Republic's existence. The speeches of President Barclay, Vice President Dossen, and Secretary of State Johnson gave full expression to the unanimous thought and feeling of the people throughout the whole of Liberia, expressing the deepest appreciation to the Ex-Minister in his successful efforts in affecting the approachment between the United States and this country, thereby securing the liquidation of its foreign and financial indebtedness. Not only did he largely contribute new life and energy into the Nation's foreign relations thereby making himself indispensable and necessary in all state affairs, but he also accepted every opportunity of impressing his strong personality towards the moral and social development of the people. The Government expressed itself as very reluctant to give him up, and he has importuned on every side to retrain again and give to them the genius of his power and influence. Only one who is acquainted with the past history of American Minister to Liberia can appreciate and rightly estimate the extent of Ex-Minister Lyon's services to the people of Liberia. His long, arduous tours in the far interior, thought impenetrable bush and forests, his exposure to heavy rains and a burning tropical sun by day and the danger of wild beast at night in drying and gaining information concerning boundary disputes, was a voluntary brave man would have shrunk. The almost inexhaustible score of data which he compiled for the Commission from the United States to Liberia proved to be one of the most reliable sources of information upon which the Commission made a favorable report and recommendation to the State Department in behalf of Liberia. Glowing tributes were presented by members of the cabinet, senators, and representatives together with a glowing tribute from the citizens of Monrovia by His Honor Mayor T. G. Fuller Rev. Lyon returns to America with the love and gratitude of a whole Nation. Winchester, Va., Sept. 29. —Mr. and Mrs. James Strange were the guests of the latter's sister. Mrs. Joseph G.

Bureau of the AFRO-AMERICAN LEADER. Fairfield, Md., Sept. 29.—The old Tyson Chrome works here is being remodeled for use by the Royster Fertilizer Company. The contractor is a white South Carolinian and he has employed colored carpenters and bricklayers to do the work. The employment of colored skilled labor has been much commented upon by the white foreigners here, especially by those who did not know colored men were qualified to do such work. The workmen hail from the State their employer lives in. (The campmeeting of the C. M. E. Church closed here Sunday. The church has bought two lots upon which to erect a new house of worship.

POLITICAL SITUATION LOOKS DARK AND DISMAL RUMORS FLY THICK AND FAST ABOUT THINGS THAT FAIL TO COME TO PASS. The "Colored Brother" At The Nation's Capital Continues To "Mark Time"—Congressional Campaign Does Not Bring The Big Things Promised—A Screw Loose Somewhere—Leaders are Wise And Saying Nothing.— Personal Doings Round About Washington. Bureau of The Afro-American Ledger 1913 11th St., N. W. Washington, Sept. 29.—The political situation as far as the colored brother is concerned is "in statuqou." There is "nothing doing." Rumors are being heard daily that wonderful things are just about to happen, but evidently these miracles get sidetracked, for they fail to eventuate. Dark hints are thrown out to the effect that several juicy federal plums are about ripe and will fall soon, but "hope deferred maketh the heart sick" and the colored leaders have stopped making predictions. Like the rank and file they are simply "marking time," waiting for the call. Visitors come into town, hungry for news; but they get the same old story "We, who are here at the very doors of the Pantry, are just as much in the dark as you out in the 'sticks' as to when the grand opening is to take place." Mysterious conferences are being held in divers and sundry places and the wise-acres look as if they wish to create the impression that they 'know something and 'dissent' tell, until the word to reveal is given. President Taft reached here last Sunday, and it is in the wind that negotiations for engagements are underway for several colored delegations from the pivotal states, who have been waiting for the physiological moment to put in a plea. Something less than a month from the congressional elections and the colored brother is not yet in the running. To the uninitiated, it looks as if there is a screw loose somewhere. Mr. John C. Gilmer, editor of The Advocate, of Charleston, W. Va., spent a day or so in town last week. He conferred with the local leaders, and had an interview with Senator Scott, of his own state, at the New William. Mr. Gilmer is State Librarian of the State of West Virginia and is a leading factor of influence and sagacity. While here Mr. Gilmer was in the general charge of R. W. Thompson, who showed bim a few of the "sights" of the greatest capital under the sun. Col. James Lewis, one of the last of the "O. Guard is in the city this week, shaking hands with old friends. He has been attending the Grand Army Encampment in Atlantic City and New York. The last public office held by Col. Lewis was Surveyor General of the State of Louisiana, by appointment of President McKinley. Judge M. W. Gibbs, another distinguished representative of the dispearing "Old Guard," has returned from an enjoyable vacation. His daughter, Mrs. Ida Gibbs Hunt, wife of Cousin W. H. Hunt, of St. Erienne France, is here visiting friends. Li-ut. Walter A. Pinchback a clerk in the office of the Recorder of Deeds for a number of years, has resigned, to give his entire time to his law practice and growing private business. The bankruptcy has not yet been filed by Recorder. Though there is an abundance of applicants both inside the office and out. A determined effort will be made to pass the Freedmen's Bank relief bill at the coming session of Congress. One million and a quarter of dollars are involved in this matter and the race should not be backward about letting the national lawmakers know that it is anxious to be granted the right thing. In order to show the earnestness of the race on the question, it is suggested that every collared voter in the various congressional districts make a direct request of the candidates that they vote for this important measure. OBJECT TO LIVING NEAR RESPECTABLE NEGROES WHY PEOPLE GIVE SUNDRY REASONS WHY INTELLIGENT AND SOBER COLORED NEIGHBORS ARE OBJECTIONABLE Councilman West Explains His Pet Measure At Public Hearing—Speakers Say Negroes Are All Right So Long As They Stay in The Back Alleys—The Reverend Mr. Heilman Makes Speech. HE FATTENS ON WHAT HE FEEDS THE SUN RACE PREJUDICE NEGRO CRIME SEGREGATION FILTH MEULON FILTH NEGRO CRIME NEGRO DOMINATION Will He Ever Get Enough? Riot and every other sort of intimidation were hinted at by the white people who crowded the First Branch City Council chamber last Monday, when a hearing of those who favor the West ordinance restricting the colored people to streets, and alleys almost wholly occupied by them, was given by the committee on Police and Jail. There was a notable absence of capitalists, leading merchants and prominent real estate men, the men in whose hands are the destinies of this great city. There were no Hebrews present and it is supposed that they were all busy earning good American dollars while their less prosperous gentle friends were busy "solving" the Negro "problem." One man at the hearing meanly insinuated that those white folks were trying to keep the Negro back in the alleys and the Jew was laying up enough to buy the finest houses now occupied by the Gentile. She was shortly after 3:30 o'clock when the meeting opened, and then Councilman West proceeded to r-读 the great measure which is to relieve the city of the great "sourge" caused by thrify, intelligent, law-abiding colored people getting better homes. Milton Dashick, who is said to be the proud father of the bill to relieve the community from the iniquities of Negro thrift, took up some time, in explaining the provisions of his pet project. Dashick is a lawyer, and was apparently sicklied over with the pale cast of anti Negro thought. He protested that he was a man of peace, who had the highest regard for the Negro (when he stays back in the alleys) and that preference, not prejudice dictated his course. He told his hearers that he would not object if the colored people built a Fifth avenue or Eutaw Place of their own, just so they did not encroach within the sacred confines of the ter- ritty bounded by Charles street, Baltimore Street, Fulton avenue and North avenue. He declared it to be his opinion that the colored men present shared in his belief, but looks on their faces clearly indicated that it was a case of "Nay! Nay! Pauline." Rev. P. A. Heilman, pastor of the St. Paul English Cuttheran Church. Drudl Hill avenue and McMechen street, was there to tell about the brotherhood of man, so far as it applies to white people occupying certain territory. He said that the good Christian white folks of his neighborhood were at fever heat because good Christian colored folks wanted to live beside them in this earthly realm. He said the State provided separate Continued on Page. 4 CARNEGIE GIVES LIBRARY. Noted Philanthropist Presents Library To Colored Citizens of Montgomery. Montgomery, Ala., Sept. 23—Andrew Carnegie has given $15,000 for the erection of a library for the Normal and Industrial School located here. The plans for the building will be drawn by W. Sidney Pittman, the Washington architect. Mr. Pittman is a native of this city and was here a few days ago arranging for his new contract. HELD POLITICAL CONVENTION And Discussed The Political Status of The Negro In the Congressional Election. (Special to Atro-American.) Washington, D. O., Sept. 30.—A political convention was held here yesterday at the Cosmopolitan Baptist Church, of which hev. S. P. W. Drew is pastor. The relation of the Negro to the congressional campaign is to be discussed and some peppery resolutions were adopted. James W. Pope was temporary chairman, and Col. H. L. Johnson was permanent chairman. FATTENS ON WHAT HE F THE NATIONAL BAPTIST CONVENTION ROUNDLY SCORES SUCH BAD AND INFAMOUS BILLS New Orleans Is Endorsed Forthe Panama Exposition With The Provision That All Laws For The Segregation Of The Races On Street And Steam Cars Be Repealed-New Orleans Wants The Exposition Bad But If The Laws Are To Be Repealed It Will Let It Slip. Paris, Ill.—It is not often that you fail to have a line from me, but I have been real busy during the meeting of the National Baptist Convention in New Orleans and did not, get to write, and for this offense I am sure you wil pardon me this time and I will be better the next time. The last time I wrote you'a letter, I was in Mobile, with Dr. H. R. Roger Williams, Mrs. Jackson and others, and I had the pleasure of talking in two Methodist churches' there, talking for the Y. M. C. A. and going the rounds. From Mobile I went into New Orleans and found Mr. Peter Nickerson and his daughter waiting to receive me. The National Baptist Convention was one of the finest in its history. Some people went there expecting there was going to be some trouble, but it all faded away, and there was nothing left but for the men and women to enjoy a good convention. It was clearly demonstrated that Dr. E. C. Morris is the strongest living Baptist in our race, and I feel like congratulating him right now. Some of them thought that something was going to happen to Dr. B. H. Boyd, and Dr. Boyd has done his work and done it well, and then he is doing something for his race and his people. Rev. C. H. Parrish, chairman of the Foreign Mission Board is making a good official and he is doing good work. I am proud of him. I know when he was attending school under Dr. W. J. Simmons, and then he went out to take his place in the world; and he has made "good." There were many social functions, and I had the pleasure of attending a reception given in honor of Mrs M. E. Steward, recording secretary of the National Federation. This was given by the Continued on Page 5. THE AFRO-AMERICAN-LEDGER Temporary Chairman at Saratoga By 122 Majority. The Regulars Defended In the First Skirmish Make a Hard Fight On the Motion to Authorize the Temporary Chiefman to Name the Platform Committee But Lose Again — The Convention Under Roosevelt's Control. Saratoga, N. Y. (Special),—Col. Theodore Roosevelt rode on the top wave of victory, defeating Vice-President Sherman for temporary chairman of the Republican State Convention and bowling over the Old Guard in the first engagement of a series of conflicts that are to come. Colonel Roosevelt was in his element. After he had named the members of the three important committees and the convention had adjourned for the day the Colonel turned to the newspaper men and remarked: "I said frazzled, you may recall. You may quote me on that." At Troy the day before the former president said he would beat his opponents to a frazelle. There were 1,011 votes cast in the convention, of which Colonel Roosevelt received 688 and Vice-President Sherman received 443, thus electing the leader of the progressives by a majority of 125. Colonel Roosevelt did not vote. Mr. Sherman voted for John Doe, and two of the New York county delegates did not respond when their names were called. The vote as officially announced at the convention gave Roosevelt 567 and Sherman 445. State Chairman Timothy L. Woodruff, of Brooklyn, one of the Old Guard leaders, was one of the first to feel the effect of the progressives' victory in the state convention. Delegates from Kings county in the Sixth congressional district met at night in aired Mr. Woodruff, committeeman and elected Alfred E. Vase to succeed blim. Mr. Woodruff can still serve as a member of the new state committee if elected by any other King's county congressional district. This will undoubtedly be done. As the new state committee will, however, be controlled by the progressives; Mr. Woodruff will be retired from the chairmanship. Colonel Roosevelt spoke feelingly of what President Roosevelt had accomplished in his administration in his speech as secretary chairman. The speakers and many of the delegates warmly applauded the declaration of Colonel Roosevelt for a direct primary blank. United States Senator Elhu Root was collected by the committee on permanent organization as permanent chairman. BANDITS HOLD UP MAIL CAR. The Bold Robbers Escaped to River at New Orleans. New Orleans, La. (Special).—Posses are scouring the levee district in search of two white bandits who held up four United States mall clerks on a westbound Southern Pacific train at Avondale crossing, on the Mississippi River, and made their escape with registered mail, and bulldon believed to aggregate $50,000 in value. More than $50,000 in gold and silver alone is reported to have been taken. While the engine was taking the express, and mail coaches up the track so the other coaches could follow the masked men surprised the four mail clerks, two of whom were negroes. While one man kept them with hands up, the other gathered the registered pouches and the express matter desired. The whole thing was over, the mail men say, in a few minutes. The robbers bound the clerks before they jumped so they did not tell of the crime until discovered when the train reached the Waggamon Station. 7,000 Assistant Postmasters to Come Under Law. Washington, D. C. (Special).—President Taft issued an executive order placing over 7,000 assistant postmasters throughout the country under the civil service laws. This new policy was announced as a result of the deliberations of the Cabinet. It was also stated that the President will recommend legislation to place all second and third-class postmasters in the classified service. This class of Federal employees are executive appointees, and are considered to be the plums of congressional patronage. Thwarted In Love, Ends Life. New York (Special) — Frances Paterna, 18 years old, jumped from a window at her home, 420 West thirty-ninth street, and was killed. The girl had been melancholy since Sunday on account of trouble between her father and her sweetheart. Mammoth Cave, Ky. (Special).—The first fatal accident that has occurred inside of Mammoth Cave in years occurred when Mrs. Helen Day, of Wyoming Pa., fell from a precipice, striking on the granite known as "purgatory" and fracturing her skull. She died later. Mrs. Day, who was the widow of the publisher of the Wyoming County Democrat, came here several days ago with a party of sightseers. Among her companions was her sister, Mrs. E. B. Day, of Seville, Ohio. UNIONS FAVOR THE RAILROADS They Ask For a Square Deal From U. S. Government. New York (Special).—The most significant council of railroad employees ever held in this country instructed, at the Amsterdam Opera House Sunday, the chiefs of the four great organizations of railroad work- men to go to Washington and appeal to the government, of the United States for a square deal to their employers. The meeting was characterized by the brotherhoods themselves as the most momentous since the first spike was driven into the first railroad for these reasons. It was the first out and out pronouncement that the interests of employees and employers are identical. It was the first time the powerful unions have ever united to back up the railroad companies by going directly to the government. It marked, as the leaders of the brotherhoods agreed, the growth of a spirit of fairness and mutuality toward the companies that pay the wages. It served notice that while the brotherhoods are not minded to be tags for any political party, they intend to scrutinize the attitude of candidates for office—particularly for Federal office—as to how employees as well as employees shall be treated by the lawmakers and law-enforcers. Three thousand delegates, representing the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen, the Order of Railway Conductors and the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, gathered at the Amsterdam Opera House, listened to speeches from Warren S. Stone, grand chief of the engineers; Garrettson, president of conductors; P. H. Morrissey, president of the Pinnerman; P. H. Morrissey, president of the American Railroad Investors and Employers' Association; C. H. Sines, vice-president of the trainmen, and other executives. The delegates came with authority from 350,000 railroad workmen on sixy-three railroads east of the Mississippi River and they represented 2,000,000 voters dependent for a livelihood on the railroad companies. After four hours' conference they addressed a memorial den Tafft, the Commerce Department and all national and state lawmaking bodies. The memorial contains resolutions which support the proposal of the railroad companies that they be permitted to make a reasonable increase in rates. Chavez Badly Hurt Near End of Perilous Flight. Domodossola, Italy (Special).—The great feat of crossing the snow-capped Alpine barrier between Switzerland and Italy in a heavier-than-air machine was accomplished by George Chavez, the young Peruvian aviator. The plucky hero of the exploit, however, lies in the Domodossola hospital badly injured as the result of an accident, that occurred just as he had completed the most arduous and challenging portion of a task he had set out to accomplish—a flight from Brig. in Switzerland, across the Alps to Milan, in Italy, in all a distance of about 75 miles. Both his legs are broken, his left thigh is fractured and his body is badly contused, but the physicians in attendance are of the opinion that these hurts will not prove fatal and that unless unlocked-for complications ensue Chavez will be about in two months. HUGHES CHIEF JUSTICE. Statement Is Made On Highest Authority. Washington, D. C. (Special).—That Governor Charles E. Hughes is definitely slated to become chief justice of the United States was the statement made upon such high authority as to give it specific news value. Taft, already strongly inclined to make Hughes the chief justice, was made much firmer in his conviction by the discussion with the cabinet. Colombia-Venezuela Break. Bogota, Colombia (Special)—There has been a rupture between Colombia and Venezuela. The Venezuelan Government telegraphed the members of the Venezuelan legation to love Bogota and await instructions at Panama. The nature of the complication is not known here. Great uneasiness has been experienced by this turn of events. Up to evening the Foreign Office had received no explanation of the matter, nor had the Venezuelan legation, any information which would throw light on the situation. New Orleans (Special).—Cotton men attach much significance to dispatches received from Galveston to the effect that such a vast quantity of Texas cotton is beginning to pass into that city, that there will be an overflow to other ports. They say, it confirms the reports of a bumper crop for Texas and that it also goes to show that cotton is going abroad in large quantities, in spite of fears that the bills of lading question will interfere with the movement. Tyrone, Pa. (Special)—Mrs. Fred, Snyder, of Vall, a village near Tyrone, was burned to death in starting a fire with coal oil. She is the mother of nine children, and in preparing dinner drew a little oil in the fire to hasten the meal. The oil exploded and set fire to the woman's dress, burning her all over the body. The husband was badly burned in attempting to extinguish the flames, and the little home and all the furniture were destroyed. CORONER'S JURY HOLDS CRIPPEN FOR MURDER Jury Did Not Mention Miss Le Neve in Any Way. The Doctor Charged With the Wifful Murder of Belle Elmore—Summing Up By Coroner Schroeder—His Analysis, of the Testimony—Prosecution Hunting for Another Witness. London (Special). — A verdict of wilful murder was returned against Dr. H. H. Crippen by a coroner's jury at the conclusion of the inquest into the death of Belle Elmore Crippen. The jury was out only a brief time. The jury further found that the remains disinterred in the cellar of Crippen's Hilldroop—Creasent home were those of Belle Elmore, and that death was due to hyoscin poisoning. The action of the jury caused no surprise. The jury, which retired at 4:40, reached its verdict despite a summing up by Coroner Schroeder that was on the whole rather favorable to the accused. He reminded the jury that the evidence as to the identity and sex of the body supposed to he Mrs. Crippen's was not at all conclusive, and that no satisfactory evidence had been given to the case he reviewed Dr. Pruitt's testimony that he was unable to determine the sex of the body and that of Dr. Willcox, who declared he found hyoscin in the body. THAT'S WHAT WE WANT. We have had a heart to heart talk with the youngsters who have charge of the circulation of the "Afro" and they say they can do it, and if they say so=it is easy to see the result==SUCCESS. There was little doubt, he said, that the remains found in the cellar of Dr. Crippen's home on Hilldrup Crescent were those of a human being, and the medical men agreed that there were indications that they were the remains of a woman. The only person suspected was Dr. Crippen, a woman's husband, and he had come forward to say that they had heard stories to say that Mrs. Crippen since the date of the tragedy. She had absolutely disappeared. "It does not follow," Coroner Schroeder said, "that because Crippen lied regarding his wife's death and fied to Canada, that he killed her. Nor must we consider Miss Leo's connection with the case after her death." Here is Our PLAN Continuing, he called especial attention of the jury to the flight of Crippen and Ethel Le Neve. He pointed out the precautions that were taken of Crippen shaving off his mustache and Miss Le Neve disguising herself as he did, informing him that he would not mention Miss Le Neve in any way, as she is charged with being an accessory to the fact. We are going to give each boy or girl in the city a subscriber for each new subscriber they get between now and Christmas. That means if you get 25 new subscribers, we are going to hand you 25 subscribers from our mailing list. Furthermore, the boys and girls who increase their circulation by 20 or more are going to get their pictures in the paper so everybody can see just who our hustling youngsters are and what they look like. Here is a chance to build up a big money paying business. NOW HUSTLE "The final question to be answered," said Coroner Schroeder in conclusion, "is: Does the evidence show that death was due to a criminal act; if so, who committed the act? The only person suspected is the accused, Dr. Crippen. It has been definitely established that Mrs. Crippen disappeared from sight and mind. BLAZE IN CHESTERTOWN. Nearly a Score of Buildings Are Destroyed. Chestertown, Md. (Special).—Fire wiped out an entire block of buildings in the central part of Chestertown; involving a loss of more than $100,000. The rapid spread of the flames and the prevalence of a high wind made the efforts of the local fire department of no avail and assistance from Wilmington, Del., was asked. A portion of the fire department of that city responded as promptly as possible, and rendered valuable aid. Does your Boy or Girl sell the "Afro?" The fire was under control at 11 o'clock. A half dozen small houses, occupied by negroes, in the rear of the burned block, were destroyed. A number of men connected with a circus, which is giving performances here, gave valuable assistance in fighting the fire. One of them was seriously injured. He was knocked from a roof and his arm was broken. Why not give them a chance to make some extra change. Send them to our Main Office, 307 St. Paul Street, any Friday afternoon or Saturday and we will START THEM OUT WITH TEN PAPERS FREE. After they sell them they will have enough money to purchase their papers the next week. So you see any boy who can hustle, can start his own business WITHOUT ONE CENT CAPITAL. The fire started about 7 o'clock in the blacksmith shop of Satterfield & Davis, and in an hour at least a dozen buildings were on fire. The origin of the blaze is not known, as Charles M. Satterfield, head of the firm of Satterfield & Davis, said he did not close his place of business until 6-20 o'clock and there was no evidence of fire at that time. 14 Months for Heart Broker. Chicago (Special). — Isaac R. Warns, "broker in hearts," as he styled himself, was sentenced by Judge Landis to serve 14 months in the Federal prison at Fort Leavenworth for using the mails to defraud Warns confessed that he had used the mails in carrying on the business of his marriage bureau. His circulars, depicting the sadness of lonely old age, were read in court. One of his books, sent to prospectors on the war, was entitled The Way to Win a Heart. It contains the following passage: "You do not know what it is to live alone, uncare for; unknown when old age over takes you. Solitude fills one with horrible agony." We want to see the Afro-American Ledger in every home in Baltimore City and the Boys and Girls are going to help us to do it. Start Now. First Fire In Texas.

QUESTION OF NEGRO BISHOPS At Twenty-sixth Annual Meeting Episcopal Church Workers Among Colored People Indorse Action of Their North Carolina Brethren in Reference to Official Prestige. The twenty-sixth annual conference of religious workers of the Episcopal church among colored people began its sessions in Trinity cathedral, Cleveland, O., on Tuesday evening; Sept. 27. The conference will be in session for four days. The principal address of welcome to the conference was delivered by the Right Rev. William A. Leeward, D. D., bishop of the diocese, who was followed by the dean of Trinity cathedral, who bade the conference welcome on behalf of his congregation. The annual sermon, which was listened to by a vast audience, was preached by the venerable Archdeacon Russell of southern Virginia. The subsequent sessions of the conference P. were held in St. Andrew's church, of which the Rev. Robert W. Bagnall is the rector. The organization is composed of the priests and other workers who are assigned to duty among colored congregations, most of whom are members of the race. Various papers were read and discussed with reference to practical questions in connection with church extension among the colored race. It was the first time in the history of the conference that it has ever met in the state of Ohio. It was in and from an institution located within the bounds of this diocese that more than fifty years ago the first colored man ever made a priest in the Episcopal church graduated from the full course of an Episcopal seminary. This man was the late William Johnson Alston, a native of North Carolin, who, leaving his native state, went to Ohio and graduated from Kenyon college in 1859. Since then there have been colored men who have graduated from every Episcopal theological seminary in the country, save one in Virginia and one in Tennessee. The principal question which occupied the attention of the conference P. was that of "Negro bishops." The conference is committed to the proposition of having Negro bishops for the colored work and as the national body of the Episcopal church convenes a week later in the city of Cincinnati it is quite likely that action will be taken in that direction. The sentiment of the conference on this question was tersely expressed in a recent resolution of the Negro concession of North Carolina, in which it declared, "We are unequivocally in favor of a missionary jurisdiction or districts for the Negro race, with a Negro bishop, and we do not in any sense favor a suffragan bishop for the work among Negroes." Among some of the more prominent leaders in the association are the Rev. Henry L. Phillips, D. D., rector of the Church of the Crucifixion, Philadelphia, who is the senior Negro priest in this country and also president of the conference; the Rev. George F. Bragg, Jr., D. D., rector of St James' church, Baltimore, general secretary and historigator of the conference; the venerable Archdeacon E. R. Bennett of Jacksonville. Fia., who is vice president and chairman of the committee on topics; the Rev. Robert W. Bagnall, rector of the church where the sessions of the conference were held, and the venerable Archdeacon Henry PRESIDENT B. Delaney of North Carolina, for many years vice principal of St. Augustine's school, Raleigh, N. C. The conference as an organization working for the moral and religious settlement of our people under the special nuspices of the Episcopal church has been a brilliant success. Many knotty problems have been unraveled by those in charge of the work where the interest of the race was at stake. Another special benefit which has come to us—the race—from the very cordial relations which our men sustain to the white peoples is the fact that the desires and aspirations of the race have been better understood by the white people, and our cause thereby has been helped. The question of having a colored man as bishop over the work among our people is one which we feel sure will receive due consideration. There is no risk to be run by such an appointment, as we have men fully capable in every way to fill such a station with dignity and with credit to all concerned. AFRO-AMERICAN WOMAN WINS HEAVY DAMAGES. Richmond (Va.) Traction Company Forced to Pay Miss Sharp $2,500. Further proceedings were denied on Sept. 17 by the supreme court in the case of Miss Irene Sharp against the Richmond (Va.) Traction company and Henry T. Wickham and William Northrop, receivers. The company took an appeal from the verdict of the law and equity court of the city of Richmond, which was refused. Miss Irene Sharp is an elderly Afro-American woman who was injured by a fall from a Broad and Main car at Seventh and Broad streets on Feb. 10, 1905. She was a passenger on the car, the evidence showing that she got up to follow the other persons to the street. When she had placed one foot on the ground, she testified; the car started, and she was thrown to the ground and seriously and permanently injured. The conductor said in defense that he gave the signal to go ahead and then saw that the woman was preparing to leave the car. He told her to wait and get off on the farther side of the cross street and did not think she would attempt to alight. She sued for $2,500 damages, the jury awarding her the full amount. BIG EDUCATIONAL RALLY. Generous Financial Aid Given Eight Worthy Young Women. The testimonial reception and educational rally held at the Bethesda Baptist church, New Rochelle, N. Y., on Thursday evening, Sept. 29, was a grand success. The affair was given for the purpose of raising funds to assist eight ambulatory young women through school. Miss F. Willia Davis was one of the prime factors in the movement, and it is encouraging to note the splendid cooperation which she received from her associates and the general public. The young women in whose honor the testimonial was given are the following: Misses Julia Trent, Kate Watson, Rosa Flowers, Maggie Foster, Nellie Burnett, Lillian Corbette, Nettle Benjamin and Lillian Moses. Scientific Course or Instruction The Armstrong Manual Training school of Washington has added a new course of instruction to its excellent list of subjects this fall, which bids fair to become very popular as well as helpful. It might be called a course in aviation. Of course no attempts at flight will be made, but the principles of propellion an alismail through its natural medium will be taught by means of a small model, which travels along a wire, its motor being driven by electricity. R. G. Dun & Co.s Weekly Review of Trade says: "With crops aggregating large in quantity and value, in spite of the reduced yield of spring wheat; with politics becoming so intense and uncertain as to make enterprise timid, and with the railroads and shippers engaged in a dispute over rates, the business outlook is mixed, trade reaction being very positive, some instances while at the same time there are streaks of progress and activity. It is as a whole a waiting situation, with little to encourage speculative enterprise until conditions, now doubtful or unsettled, become more clearly defined." Bradstreet's says: "Business failures in the United States for the week ended September 22 were 190, against 210 last week, 171 in the like week of 1909, 267 in 1908, 166 in 1907 and 165 in 1906.

Where has been exhibited before the Royal society of London a form of microscope, the invention of Professor Gordon, by means of which enormous magnification of an object can, it is stated, be attained without the blemishes due to optical causes that formerly marred such images. We may suppose that the enlarged image of an object is received from a microscopic lens upon a ground glass focussing screen, and that then another microscope is employed still further to enlarge the image so formed. This is, of course, quite feasible, but the grain of the glass would be magnified together with the image and would vitiate the result. Professor Gordon uses a translucent screen of the finest possible texture, and he causes it to be kept in constant motion while the object is being viewed or photographed. By this means the grain of the screen is eliminated and the greatly magnified image of the object alone seen. Spectrums magnified to the extent of ten thousand diameters were shown as proofs of the efficacy of the method adopted.—Harper's Weekly. Work Gives Courage.

Why not pass a law that we shall not draw our breaths on the same side of the street with a white man? Never mind the race kickers keep on buying property wherever you can get your hands on it.. If the people of this city took less interest in race prejudice and more in the effort to make Baltimore a great city we would not now be in seventh place. The colored people were priding themselves that when Mr. Grasty took charge of the Sunpaper it would mend its ways. It did at first, but like the hog it has turned to its wallow. Poor old Sunpaper. An election will come off in this city in a month or so and the bourbon Democrats have no issue but the Negro as usual. Better spend the time in preparing to tell the people where the sixty-seven thousand dollars went out of the City Hall. Baltimore is receiving praise from every source from the very excellent manner it took care of the B. M. C. It is just our ordinary way of doing things. If you want the best come to Baltimore. Never mind the race knockers. They do not amount to much. It is the only way they have of letting the people know they are living. But for that we would not know they were in the world. The public meeting was held in the First Branch City Council Chamber on Monday afternoon to give those who favored the passage of the ordinance to segregate the colored people of this city and keep them within certain bounds was largely attended by white people, a number of whom made addresses. A few colored people were sprinkled here and there in the crowd. Not one prominent white citizen was present at the meeting, the most of those present could hardly be put in that class, unless it was the pastor of the Lutheran Church, Rev. P. A. Heilman. The trend of the addresses was to the effect that colored people depreciated property in neighborhoods where they lived and in consequence the city was loser in the amount of taxes collected. Not one single fact was produced as evidence of what was said. Out of the things which stood out prominently in the addresses of each person was that if the colored people persisted in making trouble by moving into white neighborhoods matters would reach that point where the residents of this city would take matters in their own hands and there would be trouble of a different kind. Each speaker, including the minister, endeavored to make it very plain to each and every colored man present that unless the colored people behaved themselves they would be made to behave. This is not just the way to go about these things, and we think that as colored people, like all other people, have a right to live where they are able to live, it is up to the officers of the law to protect them in their rights, threats to the contrary notwithstanding. THE CLEVELAND CONFERENCE The gathering of colored Episcopal clergymen, which met this week in Cleveland, Ohio, emphasizes another important advance in racial life. With the close of the Civil War, there were but three colored men in the ministry of the Episcopal Church in this country, the Rev. Harrison H. Webb, then rector of St. James Church, this city; the Rev. William J. Alston, rector of St. Thomas Church, Philadelphia, and the Rev. John Peterson, of New York. There are today about 130 Negro priests of the Episcopal Church. When it is remembered that the Episcopal Church exacts of colored candidates the identical educational and other qualifications demanded of white persons, and likewise the many natural difficulties in the way of gaining adherents to the Episcopal Church, among the colored people, the record made is certainly a most encouraging one. Looking at the matter from a purely racial standpoint the colored people of this city are hardly aware of the great value St. James Church, in this city, has rendered the cause of Negro capability. The matter of suffrage, Negro suffrage, is a troublesome question, whether in Church or State. In the Episcopal Church, there are those among the white people, who, while they desire Negroes to be Episcopalians, yet, they do not desire them to have any connection with the legislative affairs of the Church. The idea is to have Negro congregations attached to white parishes, as chapels, and these chapels served by white clergymen. Thus, there would be no such thing as a Negro parish, hence no colored delegates in any of the Church assemblies; the clergy all being white, there would be no Negro clergy to claim membership in such conventions. St. James First African Church, Baltimore, was planted in this city more than 36 years ago, by a Negro priest coming from the State of Pennsylvania. From that day until the present it has been the lone representative of Negro equality in the Episcopal Church in the State of Maryland. It is the only body of colored persons worshipping according to the rites of the Episcopal Church which has any direct park in the affairs of the Church in Maryland. It has maintained this "open door" to the race by heroic struggle all these years. It certainly is a record which is not only creditable to the people of St. James, but to the whole race. At the recent Conference, its position was reaffirmed with respect to Negro Missionary Bishops for the colored race, and the General Convention of the Episcopal Church which meets in Cincinnati next week, will be called upon to decide the question whether there shall be such Negro Bishops. It hardly needs to be said, that the same class of Negroes in the Episcopal Church, who reject ministers of their own color, but support white men as their pastors, and thereby close the door of the priesthood against their own sons are also opposed to Negro Bishops. Notwithstanding this fact, the good work of Negro priests all over the country, as well as other causes, have resulted largely in changing the sentiment of many who hitherto have been opposed to the movement, and it is now generally believed that a beginning will be made at Cincinnati which will eventuate in the appointment of full-fledged Negro Missionary Bishops for the colored race. NIGHT SCHOOLS TO OPEN. The attention of the general public is called to the unusual opportunities that are offered by the city of Baltimore to those who desire to improve themselves educationally. There will be opened on next Monday evening six night schools as follows: School, No. 101, Jefferson street; No. 106, Hill street; No. 112, N. Carey street; No. 113, Girard avenue; No. 115, Merrymans Lane, Waverly, and the Evening High School at the Colored High School Building on Pennsylvania avenue. The Evening High School offers the usual courses in dressmaking, millinery and manual training, as well as special courses in Pedagogy, Physics, bookkeeping, stenography and other High School subjects. It is hoped the schools will be more largely attended than in former years. The colored people of Baltimore owe it to themselves to see to it that their boys and girls who cannot attend the day schools go to these night schools which have been so generously provided by our School Board. DOES THE INDEPENDENT TELL THE TRUTH? The Afro-American Ledger has no desire to continue further comment on the last B. M. C., held in this city, and hopes that this is the last word on an unpleasant subject, but it cannot let the occasion past to administer a well deserved, rebuke to the editorial columns of the Atlanta Independent. The Independent states that at no time during the meeting but the administration forces had a large majority of the delegates on its side, backed up by the four hundred members of the Order from Georgia. It also states that the Georgia delegation, from its numbers dominated the B. M. C., and did what it pleased. If this is true what need was there for railroading anything during the whole time of the meeting. If the administration was sure of its ground why then did it do no business in the order it should have done. All that was necessary was for the committee on credentials to meet and make its report, seat the rightful delegates and that would have ended the whole matter. Did the administration do it? Not one bit. It used steam roller methods from beginning to end and before the election came off fully two hundred delegates had left the city and others had become disgusted and refused to even go to the meeting. We know what we are talking about and the Independent, with all the Georgia delegation behind it cannot gainsay what we have said. The Afro-American Ledger was fortunate in having on the inside two reputable men whose word cannot be gainsayed in this community. The Independent does not tell the truth, and its report of the convention is biased from beginning to end. All we have to say another meeting like this last one will be the last of the Grand UNITED Order of Odd Fellows. A GRAND FIGURE-HEAD. We have stated through these columns that the business affairs of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows were so conducted as to create wide spread suspicion with respect to the economical administration of the finances of the Order. Certainly, such is a serious charge to bring against a body of men who are supposed to represent, largely, the intelligence and honesty of the Negro race. Upon this subject we could write very much indeed, but instead of so doing, we shall place upon the witness stand one of the most notorious members of the present "ring" charged with the responsibility of assisting in the disbursing of the money of the Order in question. The person whom we shall call to the stand is none other than the illustrious "Ben" Davis, of "steamer roller" fame; and who was so much in evidence during the reign of terror in the B. M. C., recently held in this city. It is hardly possible to question or deny his testimony, since he is neither an "insurgent" or a sympathizer with those who would turn on the light, but rather, is he a chief promoter of "steamer roller" methods. Mr. Davis, after having been paid four hundred dollars a year for four years, for acting in the capacity of a "figure-head treasurer," relinquished the job that he might become one of the select few of the Sub-Committee, which is bigger than the 1. M. C. itself. In submitting his last biennial report he discloses much information which proves our main contention, to wit: that such has been the inefficiency and waste, that the interests of decency and honesty, demand a thorough house sweeping from bottom to top. We believe that any fair-minded man, alter reading the extracts which we give below from "Ben" Davis' report, as "fake" treasurer, will applaud the determined effort made by the so called "insurgents," in this city, to bring the rascals to book, and sweep them from power. Mr. Davis says in part: "In submitting this, my second biennial report, I beg to submit a new observations. "First, I want to state to you in all fairness and candor that the treasurer of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows in America is a more 'figure-head,' without the discretion or authority to disburse a cent of your funds. In the common acceptance of the term, the treasurer of any institution is the disbursing officer. All the funds of the Order are paid into his hadds, under the rules and disbursed upon proper vouchers under the law, but this is not the case with the Grand Court of Old Belfins in America, and this defect is not the fault of any officers of the Order. The Treasurer is not made a "figurehead, neither is his failure to disburse your funds brought about by reason of the surpiration of the use of his office by any other officer of the B.J.C. M. The defect is chargeable to the old obsolete method of handling your funds under the law. The fault is chargeable to the law and not to the officers. "Under the law, the secretary collects the funds of the Order, and he is permitted to disburse out of his collections a sufficient amount, if it takes it all, to meet the operating expenses not only of his office, but the general expenses of the Order. This money i paid out in the regular discharge of his duty under the authority conferred upon him by the law, and after the money is paid out, the Grand Master issues vouchers to cover each item, and the Grand Secretary, settling with the Grand Treasurer, hands the Treasurer these vouchers covering items disbursed by him, issued after each disbursement and properly signed by himself and the Grand Master. The Grand Treasurer, under the rules, is compelled to receive these vouchers as cash and charge them against himself, just as if he had disbursed the money upon proper vouchers and bills. Under the law as it now exists, if the Grand Secretary did not pay to the Grand Treasurer one cent of money, it could hardly be charged that he had violated any law of the Order. "Now, these conditions ought not to be. The Grand Secretary ought to be a collecting officer, and the Grand Treasurer a disbursing officer. The Grand Secretary pays over to the Treasurer monthly and every other month the collections of his office less operating expenses. He pays in cash and vouchers to cover his disbursements a sum equal to the gross receipts of his office for each month, and reading the Grand Treasurer's accounts, you would understand that he had disbursed the funds of the Order, when in fact, out of the thousands collected each year, the Grand Treasurer does not disbure of the obligation of the Order, five thousand ($5,000) dollars. THE FINANCE COMMITTEE. "Four times a year the Grand Treasurer pays over to the Finance Committee whatever amount of money he may have on hand at their demand, less one hundred ($100) dollars. And this the Grand Treasurer has nothing to do with the disbursements of the Order. The Treasurer pays this money out and meets the obligations of the Order, under the old practice, without vouchers. "Your Treasurer feels that it is a poor system of finance that takes from a bonded officer the funds of the Order as fast as it comes into his hands thru the legal channels and places it in the hands of officers not under bond. to be disbursed in their discretion. But the only way to cure these defects is to repeal the old obsolete laws upon the books and devise a modern plan of handling the funds. Order. Until this is done, it will be impossible for your auditor to anybody else to make the account and finance of the Order. "There is no provision made in our laws for the auditors to audit the Finance Committee's accounts. This ought not to be, for the reason the Finance Committee constitutes the real disbursement agent of the Order. I have been Treasurer of the Order ever since the building was begun, and I have not issued a check or settled a single obligation against the Order on account of the building. I did not receive a cent of the loan, neither did I disburse it, for the reason, under the law, it would have been awkward and a hindrance to the progress of the building to have placed the funds in the Treasurer's hands. The Finance Committee handled the loan, so far as my knowledge goes, entire.y. Under the present system, it is impossible for the auditors or anybody else to delimitely tell you the whole truth about your affairs." "Out of thine mouth will I condemn thee," What further need have we of witnesses in our condemnation of the methods of the old machine declared re-elected at the late meeting in this city. Even "Ben" Davis, in commenting on the conditions above enumerated, says in another place, that they "are clumsy, obsolete and out of harmony with sound and honest financing." That was the identical light of the "insurgents," that the Order might have "sound and honest financing," and honorable gentlemen elected to the various offices whose personal character would have constituted a pledge of their fidelity to the trust imposed upon them. EMANCIPATION CELEBRATIONS Seems To be The Order Of The Day: (Special to the Afro-American Ledger.) Oxford, Md., Sept. 28.—The celebration of the 48th anniversary of the Emancipation was celebrated with great interest by the colored people, of this town on Sept. 22. A parade formed at the park of Wayman A. M. E. church and after marching through the principal streets returned to the park where the people were entertained by speechmaking and music furnished by the Merry Cornet Band, of Cambridge. Rev. and Mrs. Angule of Woodland, Md., and Rev. E. M. Tyler, of Cambridge, Md., were the guests of Rev. and Mrs. A. J. Ward, this week. Rev. Tyler was enroute to Howard University, Washington, D. C., where he will take up the medical course. Rev C. A. Tinley, of Philadelphia, spent a short time here recently enroute home after a trip to Trappe, Md. Sunday, Oct. 2nd, will be Woman's Day at Ivorytown. Continued from Page 1. schools and that the Negro had separate churches, and why not separate residential quarters. His time was a little limited, however, and he did not advocate separate cars, separate parks, separate air. W. E. Wood, who owns and lives in a piece of property at 620 Dolphin street, told how his property had depreciated by colored folks daring to move in the neighborhood. His story explained in a measure the cause of the temporary depreciation of property caused by the sudden throwing of it on the market when a colored man gets into a neighborhood. The white owner is anxious to sell, and the real estate dealer caters to his prejudice by forcing him to sell at a big sacrifice. The property shortly increases in value and afterwards rents for more than ever. Don't Mind Validity. T. P. Clemmit, who is said to be an employee of The Sun, said as a Virginian he loved the Negro when in his place. He told of his love for his black mammy, a creature whose helpless and involuntary degradation is a loathsome thought to colored men of the present. He advised that the ordinance be favorably acted upon as the courts would wink at its constitutionality as had been done with the suffrage and other anti-Negro measures of the South. W. J. Ogden, in a fiery speech begged that colored men be deprived of the privilege of moving into houses built by white men for whites. He said that Baltimore a Southern city would not stand for it, and shades of an Atlanta riot began to run through the minds of the colored people present. Pass the law at all hazards Speaker Ogden argued as the whites were bound to win. He said he had three colored servants, but objected to colored people living next door or the in same neighborhood. Louis P. Raunt told of the "dangers" that might have come should a colored man have moved into 604 North Gilmore street sometime ago. None of the speakers, however, discussed the uptown trend and exodus from old sections of the town into the newer built sections and into the suburbs, thus leaving property on the market. While all professed a love for the Negro—when he is afar—not one seemed to be concerned about his economic and, social betterment, even though as the Negro prospers his success helps the community. One-speaker, Ogden, said that while men had built the property for themselves only, but he was careful not to mention the depreciation on Eutaw Place at one time caused by the rush of Gentiles to escape the incoming families of prosperous Hebrews. He did not mention the fact that these Jews had their own exclusive social life and one of the finest clubhouses in the country, but he and the other BETHEL A. M. E. CHURCH TAKING ON NEW LIFE (Special to Afro-American.) Easton, Md., Sept. 29. -Bettel A. M. E. church is taking on new life in all departments under the pastorate of Rev. S. H. Cooper, and the membership and collections have greatly increased. Rev. L. S. Flagg preached to the Woman's Mite Mission Society last Thursday night and Rev. John Hurst, financial secretary of the A. M. E. church preached at both services Sunday. Rev. A. J. Ward was in a town few days ago. Mrs. Nellie Stewart of Salisbury, is visiting here. Mrs. R. H. Gibson and Mrs. Emeline Coburn have returned from a visit to friends in Baltimore. Mr. and Mrs. Cole, of Cambridge, are visiting relatives here.

Miller spent several days last week in Baltimore. The Easton base ball team was defeated at Annapolis on Wednesday of last week. Score 9 to 0. Mr. Lewis Thompson, of Baltimore is visiting friends here. ATLANTIC CITY NOTES Atlantic City, N. J., Sept. 29th- This city has another laurel to its reputation for entertaining visitors. Over 100,000 visitors were present during the G. A. R. encampment and they were loud in their praise for the entertainment accorded them. Mr. and Mrs. Charles White and daughter. Mr. Charles Harrave, Mr. Robert Johnson and Mrs. Alice Bouben, all of Lynn, Mass.; Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Shockley, of Ashley; Mrs. J. O'Gallon Hall, Wippin; Manloba, some visitors to the local office, week. Mrs. Thos. "E. Miller, of Orange." speakers would convey the impression that a colored man by moving into a white neighborhood wanted to associate with the folks there, a thing colored men who had pride in themselves and race detest. The hearing came to an end after Councilman Heintzman's motion to refer the bill to the City Solicitor had been defeated. A similar resolution offered by Councilmau Harry S. Cummings later in the afternoon was also defeated. The West Bill. The West. Ordinance provides that any street which has a majority of white residents shall be for the exclusive use of white people and vice versa. It also has the absurd provision that a colored man may own property in a white neighborhood but must not live in it, and vice versa. For those who violate the law a penalty of $100 or a year in jail or both is provided. If such a measure could be enforced it would have the effect of herding the colored people worse than people are crowded in Baltimore's East side. Expansion of population and growth in wealth would mean nothing. A street once "white" would remain so, and a street once "colored" would remain the same, despite changing conditions. Business With Him. A well-known white man whose family owns several hundred houses declared that the West measure infringed upon the rights of property owners, "What right," he said to representative of The Afro-American Ledger, "has any man to dictate the disposition of my property. If a house of mine on Eutaw Place was idle for a long while I would would certainly rent it to a colored man. The petty prejudices of people and acquiescing in them will not pay our tax bills, and neither will the 'kickers.'" Colored Policemen. "I think our white friends." said Mr. H. M. Burkett, "ought to be willing to be somewhat generous as well as consistent if they would pass a law segregating us. Though I do not favor such a law, if they must have one, let them create a Negro district. In that district let us have a police station, with colored captain, colored police and a colored magistrate. Let us have colored firemen, colored men on the public works, colored stores wholly, a colored member or members in the City Council and colored men in the legislature, in fact, have everything colored, as the district would be ours, and ours only, and we would be the taxpayers, and, of course, being separate the white folks would be glad to lose that revenue which would come to us in managing our own affairs." Hearing Next Monday. A hearing of those opposing the measure will be held next. Monday afternoon. The race will be represented by several speakers. burg, S. C., is spending a few days at the shore, the guest of her daughter, Mrs. J. C. edwards. She is accompanied by her sister, Mrs. M. J. Rattie. Mr. Alex.

The Epworth League of Amcs Memorial Church will hold its opening service, Sunday, Oct. 10. There is no chance for any union with God, so long as you hold on to the things of the world.

An Epworth League Rally will be held at Chase in the near future. Let us go and help Rev. Harris. Fraternal visitation is one of the aggressive movements urged by the Baltimore District. Be merciful in your judgement of others. Even the youngest of us, as some one has said, may be mistaken. Rev. W. C. Thompson, Dist. Supt. of the Alexandra District is enjoying a pleasant visit to Niagara Falls and Madison, N. J., the compliments of the ministers of his district. To keep the soul pure, one needs to keep the imagination pure. Some preachers-evangelists usually, take delight in pounding away at the church for its real or fancied defects. The church is not a perfect institution; it never was and it is not likely ever to be. But the chief end of salvation is the salvation of sinners and the edification of believers. And The Sessions Were Largely Attended—Personal Notes Pocamake City, Md., Sept. 29. Sunday was local day at St. John's A. M. E. church, Mr. George W. Marshall prescheduled in the morning and at night Rev. John P. Long, of Trinity M. E. church. Each service was largely attended. The annual preachers' meeting of the Salisbury District was held at Mr. Zion M. E. church last week. Rev. P. O'Connell, presided. Each service was largely attended by preachers and others. Miss Cynthia Gray has returned home after spending a 'few days in Salisbury, Md. Mr. William Bruce of Salisbury, spent Saturday and Sunday in the city. Misses Hattie Leonard, Manie Birkett and Mr. Peter Wails of Salisbury, attended the social at the Odd Fellows Temple Monday evening. It was a fine affair and was very largely attended. Continued from Page 1 Phillis Wheatley Club of New Orleans, one of the strongest organizations, of which one of the strongest women in the race, Mrs. Williams, principal of one of the public schools, is preside- dent. The reception was a celebration of Col. James Lippincott, certainly did enjoy be there,'and meeting the women of thought, the women of brain of New Orleans. Rev. E. J. Fisher, got hurt while trying to get on one of the street cars. He is still in New Orleans, but I am informed he is getting better and will soon he himself again. The colored people of New Orleans spoke right out in New Orleans against segregation on the street cars, steam cars and the like, and a resolution offered to indorse the city as the proper place for the Panama Exposition passed with a strong string-to-it, and that is asking for the repeal of the caste laws. The Times-Democrat replied that as bad as the city wanted the exposition, if the repealing of the law made would be the only means of securing the exposition, New Orleans would give it up. Well such is the views of the whites man and I will not discuss it just now. At the close of the convention I started for Chicago to see my private secretary and others, and to receive a few more lessons before starting out for the winter. I enjoyed this to the highest. It was a nice ride from New Orleans to Chicago, and I was in company with many of the leading people there. Reaching Chicago I went out to see my private secretary and received some lessons from her and found Charles Stewart, Jr., in school and seemed to be doing well. Then I had the pleasure of meeting, John H. Stewart, Jr., and his children, enjoyed meeting them as well as others. Now after spending the week there I returned to another part of the world, or right where I am today. I am here stopping at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Thomas, the church clerk of Rev. E. H. Borden. It seems to me that I have told you about Dr. Borden, before. He is one of the best educated men in all our race. He came into this world via Truro, Nova Scotia, up in Canada. He got his early education up there finishing a college course, and then he found his way to the University of Chicago, where he became one of the active students there. "He took the theological course there," he said with the "B. D. degree, then he took a theological course and Biblical Theological. Then he went to Goettingen, Germany, where he took on some more preparing himself for the University of Berlin. Well he took it in, there, and then took some lectures in the University of Paris, France, returning to America he took up pastorate work. You remember that while studying in Berlin, he was employed to teach English in the Y. M. C. A. This was an honor, and he won many friends while there on genuine merits. He is a man of thought and ability, and is devoting, much of his time in trying to prepare our young people. CRISFIELD NOTES. Preachers-Hold Meeting—Rev W. E.

The weird pathos of the story is unspeakable. ‘The occasion Is so happy, the: agents 80 interesting, the Issue s0 tragic.

Three doctors prescribed for him, but he kept getting worse until we could not dress him any more. They finally advised me to try a certain medical college, but its treatment did no good. At the time I was induced to try Cuti-cura he was so bad that I had to cut his hair off and put the Cuti-cura Ointment on him on bandages, as it was impossible to touch him with the bare hand. There was not one square inch of skin on his whole body that was not affected. He was one mass of sores. The bandages used to stick to his skin and in removing them it used to take the skin off with them, and the screams from the poor child were heartbreaking. I began to think that he would never get well, but after the second application of Cuti-cura Ointment I began to see signs of improvement, and with the third and fourth applications the sores commenced to dry up.

PLAN AND SCOPE OF ITS WORK Founded Seven Years Ago For the Advancement of Its Members In Intelligence, Social Intercourse and In Business, the Men's Sunday Club Has Met With Merited Success. The Men's Sunday club of Yonkers, N. X., is one of the most thrifty and substantial organizations of its kind of which we know. It was organized seven years ago. The object of the club is for the general intellectual, social and business improvement of its members. The idea of such a club had its inception in the thrift and industry of Francis J. Moultrie, a prominent and well to do citizen of the town. The plan and scope of the work to be accomplished by the organization was outlined by John E. Bruce, the well known newspaper correspondent and author of the book entitled, "Eminent Negro Men and Women." All Afro-American male citizens of good character, regardless of church affiliation, may be admitted to membership. That they be asked and required to pay an entrance fee of 3 cents per week or $1.56 per year dues. That they be asked and required to pay 30 cents additional per week and that this sum be deposited with the treasurer and by him placed in a reliable bank to the credit of the Men's Sunday club. When $1,500 has accumulated this amount should be expended toward the purchase of a site for a public hall as a home for the club. Mr. Bruce's idea is to make the entrance fee and the dues so low that they would be within the reach of every poor man. Three shares or certificates of the value of $5 each shall be the number which each member is expected to purchase, but no member is compelled to purchase more than this. The maximum number of certificates which any member may own is $100 worth, and this inhibition is urged for the purpose of encouraging the thrifty and industrious to join the club and become equal partners in a great scheme to erect a public ball. The club has grown and prospered and is in a flourishing condition at the present time. Club's Property Holdings. By closely following its system of paying dues the club soon raised $1,500, which was increased by $800 raised at a rally. President Moultrie, who is also treasurer of the club, made up the difference required to make a deposit of $3,000 on the purchase of a $12,000 property on New Main street, the most prominent business street in Yonkers. The club contemplates converting the lower floor of this building into a hall temporarily or into a store, which can be rented at a good profit. Recently there has been added to the club a women's auxiliary, made up of the wives, mothers and daughters of the members. The ladies have raised hundreds of dollars and are far and away ahead of the men as ingatherers of the coin of the realm. The permanent organization of the club was effected with the following charter members: Francis J. Moultrie, president and treasurer; Sterling Lambert, vice president, and John E. Prince recording secretary. The trustees are Charles E. Scott, Joseph H. Kelly, Charles Conich, Sr.; William Jones, Jr.; Matthew Overton, H. Morgan, Robert Carson, J. W. Age and John Cooley. These are the men who are responsible for what the men's club has achieved thus far. Though some of them are no longer active, interest in the club has by no means abated. It is still virile and vigorous and will yet. it is hoped, accomplish the object which called it into being. Men Hear Lecture on Sign Painting. The men of the Carlton avenue branch.

IMPORTANCE OF CHARACTER Recent Efforts to Raise Funds For the Various Schools Were Successful. We Muat Have Leaders of Thought and Teachers of Truth, Says President Scarborough of Wil伯force. By N. BARNETT DODSON. Nothing is more significant of the lively interest which the race is taking in the cause of education than the hearty financial support which it renders constantly through the channels of the various churches. Every denomination has its special educational interests to which it contributes either annually or at some stated period during the year. One of the best systems of raising funds for educational work is to be found in the A. M. E. church, which observes regularly what is popularly known as educational day throughout the denomination. At such times special efforts are made to raise (by voluntary contributions for the most part) means with which to assist such educational institutions as are under the fostering care of the denomination. Among these schools are Wilberforce university, C., of which Professor William S. Scarborough is president; Morris Brown college, Atlanta, Ga.; Kittrell school, in North Carolina, and Edwaters college, in Texas. The day was generally observed this year on Sunday, Sept. 18. Reports so far of the amounts raised by the churches are very favorable. Coming just about the opening of the schools for the fall term, this financial aid gives the trustees of the school fund a clearer idea how to estimate or apportion funds to the various institutions. In speaking to the students of Wilberforce at the opening of the term recently President Scarborough said: "The educational world today is turning its attention more and more to the individual, to the making of worthy human beings, to intelligent race cut- PRESIDENT W. S. SCARBOROUGH. ture, to recognizing the worth of both beredity and environment as factors in the molding of each human life. "So our schools are being considered more and more as safe investments to bring about the best results, and educators everywhere are asking what is best to be done to be able to meet the life that must be lived in the world and how best to prepare for it. "True educators are always seekers after truth, and today they are endeavoring to make school and practical life join hands as we push on into wider fields of knowledge. "To my mind there is no greater thing than to have such training that the human soul blossoms out into a character in which all forces are grasped and combined, so as to lay bold of all that goes to artistic character building for a race. We as a people need this particular training. We need just such artistic work. "We must have leaders of thought, teachers of truth, and there is no other way to obtain such except by this all around trailing, that develops vision that is not only farsighted, but penetrating as well. "We must change much in the race, and we must learn in schools how this is to be done. Our training must be such as to accomplish this. The untaught, emotional masses must be made over into educated, serious, reasoning beings for our salvation as a people. It is the business of our schools to show how this may be done. "To such work our institution, Will berforce university, is committed. "Wilberforce university stands today for the education of the whole man—the head, the heart and the hand. We lay here special stress upon the fact that the future of the Negro people depends almost entirely upon its trained, men and women—men and women of brain, of culture and of strong, sturdy character, who are to take the lead in shaping its destiny. "More than over the Negro must depend upon himself, must look to his own leadership, for guidance, and God forbid that this should be other than a wise one—the very best along all lines that the race can afford." FREIGHAI AND PASSEGGER COLLIDE Six Persons Dead and Twelve Others Badly Injured. Tipton, Ind. (Special) — Disobedience to orders by the crew of a freight car is said to have been the cause of the second interurban traction wreck within three days in Indiana. This disaster cost the lives of six persons, the serious injury of six more and severe hurts to a score. A southbound freight car crashed head-on into a northbound passenger car on the Indianapolis and Peru division of the Indiana Union Traction Company shortly after noon, two miles north of this city. The freight car was in charge of Motorman Lacy and Conductor Sebree. The freight car, it is said, had orders to stop at the first switch north of Ressler's Crossing, but tried to make the first switch south. A clump of trees hid the limited, and the crew of the freight barely had time to jump to save their lives. The front end of the limited was shattered and all passengers in the smoking compartment were killed. Farmers living in the vicinity of Ressler's Crossing heard the crash, and after telephoning into Tipton for physicians, went to the aid of the injured. Nearby homes were thrown open and the seriously injured were made as comfortable as possible until the arrival of the physicians in automobiles. The traction company sent out special cars from Tipton, equipped with cots, and the dead and injured were brought to this city as soon as possible. One of the sad features of the wreck is that Dr. W. C. Holthouser, for Brooklyn, Y., who with his Writer H. Holthouser, was killed, was on his way to Kohomo, 'nd, to be married to Miss Nellie Coxen. The brother was to have been best man at the wedding. Miss Coxen was prostrated when she heard if the death of her fiancee. "I guess we overran our orders," said Motorman Lacy, of the freight car, who, with Conductor Sebres, was carrying the limited hearing down, upon them. Just three days ago, almost to the hour, occurred the fatal wreck near Kingsland, Ind., on the Bluffton division of the Wabash Valley Traction Company, which caused the death of 41 persons, with 3 more still in the hospitals of Fort Wayne with barely a chance for recovery. NATION'S DEATH RATE. Fifteen In Each One Thousand During Last Year. Washington, D. C. (Special).—The death rate in the United States in 1000 was 15 in each 1,000, according to a bulletin issued by the Census Bureau, and this is the lowest average ever recorded for this country. The figures cover only the cities and States having laws requiring the increase in an estimated total population of 48,776,893, or 55.3 per cent. of the estimated total for the entire country. The States included in the summary are California, Colorado, Connecticut, Indiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont, Washington and Wisconsin. In addition to these returns were received from 54 cities having local registration laws. The total number of deaths recorded was 732, 588, of which 358,597, or over 54 per cent, were of males. The greatest mortality occurred in March and the lowest in June. In 1908 the rate was 15.4 per cent, the last year indicating a falling off of almost half of 1 per cent. Excellent as the showing is, it was not so good as was made in England, where the rate was only 14½ to the thousand. The low rate in both countries is attributed to the absence of widespread epidemics. FOUR AUTOISTS' DROWN. Speed Too Great to Round Curve In Road. New Orleans (Special).—All four occupants of a large touring car returning from a lake shore resort to New Orleans early today were drowned when the car, instead of rounding a curve in the West End shell road at a high rate of speed, shot straight ahead and plunged into the new basin canal. A laborer on his way to work was the only witness to the accident. He said the car passed him at such a clip that he was unable to how many persons he had. It was at first appalled that the car had over occupied when it left West End, and the canal was dragged for three hours after the four bodies had been found. Late in the afternoon it was definitely established that Boettler, Freeman and the two women were the only persons in the car when it went into the canal. Soothing Syrup Kills Baby. Toledo, Ohio. (Special).—A few minutes after Mrs. John Bullendorf, of 75 Tecumseh street, had given her 17-day-old daughter a dose of soothing syrup the baby became unconscious and died two hours later while a physician was working in a futile effort to revive her. After an investigation Cornerer Charles J. Hensler said death was caused by morphine poisoning. Freak Duck This. Mahanoh City, Pa. (Special).—Moses Derricot, living on Sixth street, has a freak duck that is exciting the attention of poultry fanciers in this section. Unlike other water fowl of the web-foot variety, this particular duck has four legs, fully formed and equipped for service. Unfortunately for the duck the two extra feet are on the left side, and its owner is wondering what is likely to happen when it takes to the water with its triple-barreled motive power on the larboard side.

They came too late the previous day for a dip in the surf, so Anna was up early, and as she put on her bathing suit while the rest were at breakfast some one questioned her as to her haste. "Weil, you see," replied the thoughtful child, "I want to hurry and go in before so many people get in and get the water cold."

None but a strong minded woman can ever decide which of two or three hats she likes "the best," particularly if they are all comely. Popular belles have been known to have similar troubles with their sweethearts. Which do I like best is often a momentous question. Why not try the other way? Decide which, of men, or hats, or attractive "dates" you like the worst, and then proceed to eliminate. From there you can factor out in the grade of desirability, until you actually find yourself at a decision, because it, whatever it is, is the only one left. The process is delightfully simple.

Refused To Pay Three Dollars For A Deviled Crab. The Grand Jury has dismissed the charge of alleged attempted fraud against Rev. Charles W. Mossell, who was arrested several weeks ago for refusing to pay $3 for one deviled crab and a cup of coffee. Feeling a little hungry, the minister went into a white lunch room on Lexington street near Gay, and called for a deviled crab and a cup of coffee. The waiter told him it would cost 35 cents, and later the proprietor demanded $3. Dr. Mossell said he would pay the $3 if a receipt were given, but this was refused and his arrest ordered. The preliminary hearing was held before Justice Grannan, who decided that grossly overcharging for food and refusing to pay the exorbitant price made the one who ordered the same liable for attempted fraud and so he held Dr. Mossell for the action of the Grand Jury, exacting $500 bail in the interim. NEW HALL DEDICATED. Galilean Fishermen Make $7,000 Worth of Improvements The handsome new auditorium in the rear of Galilean Fishermen's Hall, 409.11 W.

The new auditorium and other improvements cost about $7,000. The hall will seat about 700 and is one of the finest in the city. MEMBERS ARE AT PEACE Warring Factions At Sharp St. Church Bury The Hatchet. The differences which have existed between the pastor and some of the members of Sharp Street Memorial M. E. Church seemed entirely forgotten last Sunday morning. Rev. W. A. Hughes had preached a stirring sermon—the first of a series on "God's Message to the Church" and following the sermon he said it was time that all should be union, and as each worshiper passed by the altar and shook the pastor's hand, it seemed like an impromptu lovefeast was taking place. The members of the church organized Wednesday night for the fall rally. Mock B. M. C. Ladies Are To Imitate Stirring Scenes Enacted At Recent Odd Fellows' Meeting. The mock conference bids fair to give way to a mock B. M. C., and a number of ladies of Sharp Street Memorial M. E. Church are planning to give a humorous interpretation of the stirring scenes at the recent session of the Biennial Moveable Committee of Odd Fellows. Mrs. Cole, who played the part of of bishop in the mock conferences, will be the "Grand Master." Fred R. Moore, "Ben" Davis, Henry Lincoln, Job son, Rev. E. C. Jones, John C. Dancy, Edward H. Morris, the new Grand Master, and even the downtrodden J. C. Asbury are expected to have their counterparts. Viva voce votes, "steam roller" methods and a belated report of the committee on credentials, and may injunction proceedings are expected to play a part.
