THE AFRICAN AMERICAN LEDGER --- VOL. XXI NO. 43 PREPARING FOR BUSINESS MEN Philadelphia Appropriates $5000 to Help Entertain National Business League 600 LEAGUES WILL BE REPRESENTED Press, Bankers, Undertakers and Bar Associations Also to (Special to The Afro-American Ledger.) The Fourteenth Annual Meeting of the National Negro Business League will be held in Philadelphia, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 20th, 21st and 22nd, 1913. The Local Negro Business League of Philadelphia has secured from the City Council of that city an appropriation of $5,000 for the entertainment of the delegates and the appropriation has been signed by Mayor Radolph Blankenburg. The daily sessions of the League will be held at Musical Fund Hall, 808 Locust street; the first night's session will be held at the Academy of Music, Bread and Locust streets at which time Mayor Blankenburg will speak and President Booker T. Washington will deliver his annual address. There are now about 600 Local Negro Business Leagues throughout the country, well organized and actively at work-emphasizing the League idea in their several centers. In addition there are at present State Negro Business Leagues in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Mississippi, Texas, Virginia, North Carolina, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Kansas and one in Illinois, which was organized May 30, 1913, at Springfield. It is expected that delegates from all of these local and state Leagues will attend the coming meeting and that the reports to be made will be as interesting and encouraging as those of last year. Mr. S. Laing Williams, compiler of the National Organization in his annual report of the proceedings held in Chicago last year states that there was shown an increase in the number of banks, corporations, ownership of farmlands and crops, in the number of men and women who are branching out into new lines of business endeavor. An increase in the number of the combinations of capital for the purpose of developing large business enterprises, real estate dealers whose holdings were so large that their accuracy was challenged, but which investigation verified. Each year reduced rates are offered from every section of the country to New York, Philadelphia, Atlantic City, and other Eastern points. This year the national meeting of the Colored Elks of the country will take place the week before the Business League meeting, and the meeting of the Colored Pythian Organization will be held in Baltimore the week following the Business League meeting. Under the circumstances very low rates will be offered so that delegates who wish to attend any two, or all three, of these meetings, may do so without undue outlay. Local Leagues and State Organizations are urged even thus early to take up with the proper authorities the matter of railroad accommodations. Arrangements can be made for Special Fullman and Tourist Car Parties at very little additional expense, but at considerable addition in the way of comfort and pleasure, especially when congenial parties are organized. The annual sessions of the affiliated organizations of the League will be held at the same time The National Negro Bankers' Association, The National Negro Funeral Directors' Association and the National Negro Bar Association, a group of the strongest organizations in the country among Negro people. Segregation in Appeals Court Next Week Attorney W. Ashbie Hawkins is preparing his defense to the appeal against the decision of Judge Elliott declaring the segregation law invalid, that is scheduled to be heard in the Court of Appeals on Tuesday, June 24. The State voted the appeal, and it is expected that a herculean effort will be made to have Judge Elliott overruled. The decision of the Court of Appeals will be awaited with interest both by those who are for and against segregation. The segregation law here has been generally opposed by the colored people, and Mr. Hawkins has had the sympathetic assistance of all. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is also deeply interested in the outcome of the matter. The Maryand Medical, Pharmaceutical and Dental Association appropriated $30 at its last meeting to aid in the fight that will be made in the Court of appeals. Attention has been called to the fact that the Afro-American Ledger was in error when it gave Mr. Hawkins the sole credit for the outcome of the Somerset county murder case in February, 1895. Messrs C. C. Fitagerald and Warner T. McGinnn were also associated in that case, and they rendered effective legal service. Removes to New Church Atlantic City, N. J., June 16.—In imitation of the Israelites marching into Jerusalem at the time of the dedication of the Temple, the membership of Asbury M. E. Church Sunday, left their old-place of worship and under the direction marched in procession to their new church. The ladies were all gowned in white and carried lighted tapers in their hands. The pastor, Rev. A. L. Martin, led the procession. Fully 1000 persons were in line. One thousand dollars was the offering for the day, and Rev. Martin announced that he had $1000 in hand to pay in at the next big rally. The Church Extension Department has loaned another $10,000 to the church making $20,000, in all so far received from that source. Illinois Appropriates $25,000 Springfield, Ill., June 19—The State Legislature has passed a bill appropriating $25,000 toward the holding of an exposition in 1915, at which the progress that the race has made during the past 50 years will be emphasized. Appointments Cause Dissention. Yonkers, N. Y., June 9. Much dissatisfaction with some of the appointments made by Bishop J. W. Hood at the session of the New York A. M. E. Zion Conference. Among the changes that have aroused antagonisms was the removal of Rev. R. M. Bolden from Mother Zion, New York, to this city; the removal of Rev. J. J. Smyers from this city and sending of Rev. J. H. McMullen from Rush Memorial, New York, to Rochester. Bishop Caldwell is said to have influenced Bishop Hood against Dr. Bolden. So great was the confusion when the appointments were being announced that even the lights were turned out in the church. The Alumni Association of the Colored High School at its annual meeting at the Pennsylvania Avenue A. M. E. Zion Church Wednesday went on record as being against costly social affairs given by the students. The protest was encouched in the following resolution: "The Alumni Association of the Colored High School deeply deplores the tendency in recent years upon the part of our High School students to extravagance in annual entertainments, and in view of our known economic condition and the fact that such extravagance gives expression to ideals not wholesome or conducive to the highest moral and social well being. "Be it resolved, That this association will urge the faculty and the Parents' Association of the Colored High School to co-operate to the end that such extravagance may cease and entertainments be held that are keeping with our economic condition." The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: James A. B. Callis, president; George A. Owens, vice president; George Sumner Whyte, recording secretary; Miss Lottie O. Chase, corresponding secretary, and Miss Florence Matthews, treasurer. MASONS ASSEMBLE IN SALISBURY Maryland Grand Lodge Hold Semi-Annual Communication Salibury, Md., June 19.—Masons from all parts of the Eastern Shore, argumented by a number of prominent members of the order from Eatlimore and Delaware, gathered here. Wednesday, where an adjourned session of the semi-annual communication of the Maryland Grand Lodge was held. Nearly 100 were in the party that went from this city, and they all declare it to have been one of the most successful sessions ever held. When Grand Master Joseph P. Evans and the Baltimore contingent arrived at Salisbury they found over 1,500 persons awaiting their coming. Formal welcoming services were held at St. Paul A. M. E. Zion Church. Addresses of welcome were delivered by Mayor Kenerly, Capt. S. S. Turner, Rev. E. D. W. Jones, Rev. R. G. Waters, L. H. Waters and others.

CIVIL RIGHTS LAW INVALID ON WATER MRS. MARY BUTTS LOSES HER CASE Can Get No Redress For Having Had to Eat at Second fable. The decision of the United States Supreme Court handed down last Monday, declaring that the civil rights law adopted in 1875 was invalid as far as the navigable waters, federal territory and the seas are concerned is variously regarded. There are some who believe that proscriptions will grow more and more, and there are those who assert that the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments may be invoked to protect the rights of the race. The law had previously been declared invalid in the District of Columbia and in actions brought in States. The latest decision was in the case of Mrs. Mary F. Butts, of Everett, Mass., who sued the Merchants and Miners Transportation Company, with headquarters in this city, for alleged race discriminations in a sea trip from Boston to Norfolk. This company has long been tabooed by the great majority of colored travelers because of the existence of alleged discriminations. Mrs. Butts averred that she paid first-class fare, but that she was compelled to eat at a second table, use soiled linen and to suffer other humiliations. The decision is regarded as an emphasis on the rights of the State in matters not expressly delegated to the general government. It does not mean that the recently enacted Levy law, the civil rights laws of Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Illinois, Ohio and other States will be nullified. That the States have jurisdiction over the matter of civil rights is indicated in the decision on the Slaughter House case. The opinion in this case points out "that the Supreme Court has always held with a steady and even hand the balance between State and federal power, and we trust that such may continue to be the history of its relations to that subject so long as it shall have duties to perform which demand of it a construction of the constitution or any of its parts." Judge Deventer, who wrote the opinion was appointed by President Taft after a big protest from colored people had eliminated Judge Hook on account of his having given a decision upholding "Jim Crow" cars. $9,000 In One Rally St. Louis, Mo., June 19.—Rev. B. G. Shaw, pastor of the Washington Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church, holds the record for the pastor raising the largest amount in a single rally—$9,000. A few weeks ago Rev. W. Sampson Brooks, of the A. M. E. Church, raised over $7,000. Original Fiske Singer Dead Nashville, Tenn., June 19.—Mrs. Georiga Minor Gordon Taylor, one of the original Fisk Jubilee Singers, died here a few days ago. She was a member of the choir that any at the university from 1868 to 1871, and in the jatter year became a member of that famous band of singers that thrilled thousands in their efforts to raise money for the university. There are only six of the original singers now living. 212 Graduates Receive Diplomas Washintgon, June 20.—Before a large audience that filled Convention Hall, 212 graduates of M Street High, Armstrong Manual Training, Business High and Cardozo Vocational schools received their diplomas Wednesday night. President Henry P. Blair, of the Board of Education presided and introduced other members of the Board, who presented the diplomas to the graduates as follows: Richard R. Horner to M. street; Dr. Charles H. Marshall to Business High; Mrs. Caroline Marshall to Armstrong, and Supt. M. Davidson to Cardoza School.

Horner Has Served Capably In Many Positions of Public Trust—Eloquent and Convincing Orator—Ardent Friend of the Public School System. Washington.—The appointment of Dr. Creed W. Childs as a member of the board of education for the District of Columbia gives general satisfaction to the race. He succeeds Lawyer R. R. Horner, and the term is for three years, beginning July 1. Dr. Childs is a native of Alabama, but has long been a resident of Washington and has been actively identified with every movement looking to the educational, religious, commercial, social and civic uplift of the people of this community. He has served capably in many positions of public trust. Perhaps no man in the nation's capital is more widely known, and certainly none is more highly respected M. or better loved by all classes. He has been physician to the poor of the District, sanitary and food inspector of the health department and medical inspector of the contagious disease department. Dr. Childs is a graduate of the medical department of Howard university and is a member of the surgical staff of that institution. He is prominent in the direction of the Medico-Chirurgical society and has been one of its vice presidents. He has been chairman of the medical section of the National Medical association and in 1011 was named for the presidency in a field embracing the foremost physicians of the country. He is an active member of the Y. M. C. A., and was of great assistance in raising the funds necessary to insure the erection of the $100,000 home of that splendid institution. He is vice president of the Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor and has always taken a deep interest in the work of the churches, fraternities and social settlement movements. Dr. Childs is an eloquent and convincing orator and is able to champion a cause before any body of any race with a force and fluency that invariably wins all that is contended for. He was particularly effective in support of the Jones-Works bill in congress, a measure designed to reduce the number of saloons in the District, and by its passage many barrooms and dens of infiltration will be removed from the sections in which our people live in large numbers. In Dr. Childs the public school system of the District has an ardent friend. He fully understands the needs of the system and knows just how to go about the work of remedying whatever evils may have crept into it and to extend its benefits and enlarge its power for the good of the community. He is an earnest supporter of the policies of the existing administration, the efficacy of which has been thoroughly demonstrated by the results shown, and will act in harmony with the admirable board to which he has been assigned by the supreme court of the District. He is a lover of mankind: his sympathies go out in a practical fashion to teachers and pupils. Having practiced medicine in the District for over twenty years, he is familiar with all of the conditions which surround his people and, will be in a position to handle the problems of the masses as well as those of the classes and to stand for the highest ideals of school management for the good of white and black alike. Dr. Childs is a substantial citizen, having acquired a generous space in the tax ledger of the District, owning among other things, a beautiful home and a high power automobile. He has a charming wife and four children. Career of Dr. John C. Dancy, Church Extension Society Secretary. Philadelphia—Hon. John C. Dancy of this city, secretary of the Church Extension society of the A. M. E. Zion church, is one of the most distinguished laymen of the denomination. In the Zion connection he is regarded as one of its most distinguished sons and the most prominent layman in its ranks since the days of John C. Price. Dr. Dancy has had a long and honorable career, both in the service of his church and his country. He has attained national prominence as an orator, and for nine years he was recorder of deeds at Washington, receiving his appointment under President Roosevelt. He has served in many useful capacities in the Zion church with satisfaction to the connection. His wide career has embraced many noble endeavors, which have given him wide experience in the field of journalism, education, religion and politics. Dr. Dancy was born in Tarbore, N. C., and was educated in the public schools of his native city. He continued his education at Howard university in Washington. He began his public career as principal of the high school in his native city. He has also served as register of deeds of Edgecombe county, N. C. Shortly after his election to this office he went as a delegate to the world's convention of Good Templars which met in Liverpool, England. While abroad he made an extensive lecture tour through many cities of England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales. Returning to America, he delivered throughout the country a series of speeches in the interest of the Republican party which brought him wide notice. He seconded the nomination of General John A. Logan for vice president. He was a member of the joint commission of reconciliation between the A. M. E. and A. M. E. Zlon churches and also with the C. M. E. church in 1902. For many years he was editor of the Star of Zlon and the Quarterly Review. He was a delegate to the ecumenical conferences which met in Washington in 1891. London in 1901 and in Toronto in 1911. At the conference in Toronto he presided at one of the sessions and has the distinction of being the first colored layman to preside over an ecumenical conference. Dr. Daney is a man of distinguished parts and is constantly in demand as lecturer throughout the country. His brilliant career should serve as an inspiration to the inspiring youth of the race. At the last session of the general conference he was elected to his present office and has already met with success in his new field. Military Qualifications of Lee A. Pollard of New York. Among the young men who will be prominent in the new regiment that is to be formed in New York is Lee A. Pollard, one of the most energetic men of the race. He is captain of the signal corps of the provisional regiment organized by Colonel Charles Fillmore in 1912. After a persistent effort on the part of the members of the provisional regiment and the newspapers Governor William Sulzer of New York signed the bill providing for a regiment of colored men. Mr. Pollard was one of the most enthusiastic workers for the bill, and when a call was sent out by Major Fillmore asking for men to form a provisional regiment with a view of becoming a part of the national guard. Mr. Pollard was among the first to heed the call, and he did much to interest the young men of the race in the movement. It is believed that when the regiment becomes a part of the national guard he will remain head of the signal corps. Mr. Pollard has had considerable military training, having passed an examination under the scout commissioners several months ago. He was the first colored man in New York and among the few in the country to receive the commission, as scoutmaster. He organized the first boy scout troop of the race in New York, which has since become an effective movement among the colored boys. Mr. Pollard has made a study of the signal service and is well versed in that branch. He has taken the first aid to injured and kindred courses that will be useful to him in the regiment. He is an expert chauffeur and machinist and opened the first automobile school for the training of young men as chauffeurs. He is a member of the Young Men's Christian association and kindred organizations. He was born in Richmond, Va., and was educated in its public schools. He is the son of William S. Pollard, one of the leading contractors of Richmond. He has been a resident of New York since 1899. He studied under Professor J. D. Fileen with a view of entering Harvard university, but abandoned his college career to enter business. Supervisor of Rural Mail Delivery. The contract for carrying the United States mail from Glasgow, Ky., to Burksville, in the same state, is under the supervision of the Hon. Sherman Cheeks, an Afro-American of thrift and ambition, Mr. Cheeks has a number of assistants, all of his own race, to distribute the mail in the rural district. THE AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGER PURPOSE OF THE UPLIFTER LEAGUE Many Sections of the United States Already Benefited by Its Influence—Important Educational Campaign Being Arranged—Several Noted Scholars in Its Ranks. One of the most effective of the younger organizations for the advancement of the race is the Uplifter league, organized in September, 1912. The organization is growing rapidly, and its influence for good is being felt in many sections of the country. The league is arranging an educational campaign in which will be shown the past achievements and present possibilities of the race along all lines of active work. Valuable tracts and documents bearing upon the past achievements of the Negro is, in the possession of the organization and will be given to the public from time to time. The organization has a membership of 270, made up of both men and women, and is one of the most representative groups of workers to be found in this country. The membership represents all walks of life. In its ranks may be found many of the best scholars of the race. One of its members is George Gabrile, formerly vice president of Abyssinia, who is now living in New York. The organization has two departments known as the intellectual and the executive departments. The intellectual department is composed of the men and women who are giving their time to research work on race matters and the discussion of matters pertaining to the enlightenment of the public on vital matters pertaining to the race. The officers of the organization are Augustus 'T. Bell, president; George Gabrile, vice president; I. G. Johnson. M. AUGUSTUS T. BELL secretary, and Fred Demmings, treasurer. Augustus T. Bell, the president of the organization, is one of the best known men of the race. He has given much time to the study of the achievements of the race and has written extensively on the subject. He was born in Gloucester City, Va. in 1854, and received his early education in the public schools of his native city. He resides in New York, where for three years he has applied himself to the study of theology under Dr George W. Sampson, a noted white clergyman. He is the author of the "Woolly Fair Man of the South" and "The Amendment to the Fourteenth Amendment." The latter publication has had a wide circulation and has brought the author wide notice. He has also written much upon other subjects. The organization has its headquarters at 247 West Sixty-first street. New York city, where it holds weekly meetings. Mr. Bell gives weekly lectures on some vital phase of the race question. At the last public meeting of the organization, which was held at the Y. M. C. A., many interesting facts relative to the race were made known. The organization passed a resolution to be forwarded to Abyssinia, in which it deplored the reported death of King Menelik. This organization of earnest men and women, who have banded themselves together to keep to the fore the best efforts of the race and to seek to educate the rising generation to honor the race, has before it a glorious work, which will meet the approval of all lovers of freedom. It marks a new era in the race's advancement and is destined to do much good. It asks the co-operation of every race loving man and woman in its efforts. Women's Club to Meet In Cambridge.

Company in Maryland on ages from 2 to 79 the homes of the insured Contracts able THE COLONEL STILL ON THE MOVE Paris, Texas —When I took my pen in hand to write to you the last time I was one of the biggest Sunday School men in the world, because I was in the National Baptist Sunday School Congress, and I was stopping with Prof. R. B. Hudson, at the home of Mrs. Mattie Ceasar. I told you about what a time we had. Well, then I started for another part of the world and you see I have been doing some moving around. It was bright and early on Sunday morning that I got my things together and started for Denison. To my surprise, I found that there had been a wreck, and the iron horse had tried himself. Some of our people got hurt. Prof. J. M. Codwell, of the Missionary and Educational convention, and editor of the Western Star, Houston, Texas was hurt some. Human life is so short, and then we can't tell just when the end is going to come. I tell you we must live close to God or we may have to spend eternity closer to the other fellow. There were some great questionous discussed by this body of able men and women. I do not remember of hearing very much about the devil but suppose he had his share of the discussion. When I reached Denison, I found young Harrison Gillean, waiting to tome me over to his place. He was delighted to have me and assured me that he would take delight in entertaining me. He is a young newspaper man and is connected with the Chisolm News service. Of course he is one of the agents for Uncle Sam, and rides around and fixes up the mail that it reaches the places where it is started. He is considered a good clerk, and then he is considered a good newspaper writer. Mr. Bowles was with him. They carried me over to the A. M. E. Church, where I met Miss Johnson who is connected with the Crisis. I spoke at the Baptist Church Sunday night, and bright and early Monday morning was on my way to Fort Worth, and I have heard of it myself. There were several who were going to the own also. Well I reached there, and then went to Houston's Undertaking establishment. It is now known as the Fraternal Undertaking Co. Mr. Upshaw is connected with the company. I turned over to him the checks for my trunks, and soon they toted them out to W. M. McDonald's where I had been invited to spend the week. McDonald is one of the great men of Texas, and I am sure you have heard of him. He is known the world over as "Goose Neck Bill" and why he is called this I do not know. He has been some pumpkins in politics and is a member of the Baptist Church although he says "d----n" sometimes. He is now cashier of a bank, and is one of the men of our race who is doing something. He has a fine two story house and then he has his queen in it. I shook hands with R. C. Houston, Jr., then with Dr. N. T. Wallis, then with other friends. I was there to attend the session of the Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias, and was invited to the town by Dr. A. N. Prince, who is the grand chancellor. I was received in style, and made to feel like I was some pumpkins in this world. Dr. Prince, is just one of them men that knows how to act and how to treat men, and all because he has been well trained, and the people of your city will have an opportunity to see him when he comes to Baltimore in August to the Supreme Lodge. Speaking of Dr. Prince, I saw him pull up his coat above his waste, and say to a man, "I came from Sherman to Fort Worth in my automobile, and I am without even a knife, but I am not afraid of a human being in the world." He is a brave man, and then one of the best doctor in the world. Then I had the pleasure of meeting other men who count and it would take a whole paper to tell you about them. For instance there is George M. Guest, and I mention him because I want to say something to you about him. He lives in the town where I am today writing this letter. He is a successful undertaker here, and a man who stands high among all the people. He has made friends, but is an enemy to wrong, and does not bite his tongue in speaking against wrong. But you know the devil likes wrong, and if you at- tempt to tear down his play house, you may have your own house hurt a little bit. Guest has been speaking out in church, so one night he was on his way home, and some one from behind shot him down, but thank God it did not kill him. He was carried home, a good doctor secured, and he is well and out again. It pays to be on the Lord's side, and I am glad that I am one of His chosen. Now this man has continued to work for his people, and just a few days ago, his house was destroyed by fire and he just escaped with his life, losing everything that he had. Well he is now getting ready to build again. Mr. Guest is a man who is interested in his people, and he is always doing something for them. He will help the poor and distressed and if you die and without money, he is ready to bury you. This comes to say that he is one of the best undertakers in this country. I could just talk about him and his wife for the rest of the day, but will refrain from doing so. I will tell you about some of the plans of the Pythians in another letter. Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green was there, and then there was his vice Joseph L. Jones. Gen. Jones is doing something in this country and he is a man who deserves anything in the gift of the Pythians of this country. I wish that I had the time to tell you all about Jones but will not be able to do so now. He is a good man. Among the many people I met there was W. Sidney Pitman, the architect. I do not know just what it is to be an architect, but it is something big and has something to do with putting up buildings. Now just what part he plays I do not know, but I am told that Pitman is one of the best in the country regardless to race or color and this alone makes me proud. He is a man that can be reached. He had something to do with the Negro building at the Jamestown Exposition. He was the architect for it, then he has put up so many other things. I would just like to sit down and talk about him a long time, but will not. It would not be out of place for one to mention another man of our race who is doing something in his line, and is at the head of the class. S. S. Shepard is the man. I never saw a man with so much machinery for cleaning clothes. He is a tailor, a fixer and a cleaner. He has a large place of business and employs a number of men and he superintends the work himself as well as takes part in the doing. Leaving Fort Worth, I went over to see Dallas, and found things in good shape there. The Pythians are going to erect their temple at a cost of $125,000 and Mr. Pitman is figuring in this. I went to his home, and had the pleasure of meeting his wife. He married the daughter of Booker T. Washington. She is now teaching them music, in addition to looking after her homework. Her father just had her educated in this country, and then you will remember he sent her to Europe for the finishing touches in music, and what she knows about music is manners. They are going to build them a home soon. Send all mail for me to 1116 Washington avenue, Kansas City, Kans. It think I have had enough to say this week. I think I told you about Mrs. Norene Davis, the sweet singer, of Kansas City. She won laurels in Muskogee. I shall leave Paris, going to Texarkana, and Dr. G. M. Munchus, of Clarksville, Texas is going to have some lunch for me when I pass through this city, and then I will spend a little time in Texarana, spending the night three. I am now on my vacation from getting education and I will not have anything to say along this line now. Look out for me. I shall make this letter short. Prominent Business Men In Session Springfield, Ill., June 10.—Seventy-four of the most prominent Negro business men from all parts of the state of Illinois met here recently under the auspices of the Springfield Local Business League, and organized one of the most promising and enthusiastic State Negro Business Leagues in the country. A remarkable feature of this gathering is that every man attending paid his entrance fee and became a charter member. It is the plan of this organization to charter a special car to convey the Illinois delegation to the annual convention of the National Negro Business League, to be held in Philadelphia, August 20; 21 and 22. Mr. J. Edward Thompson, of Springfield is president; and Dr. A. H. Kenniebrew, of Jacksonville is secretary. Chicago, June 16.—The Wabash avenue department building of the Y. M. C. A. was dedicated yesterday afternoon. Booker T. Washington, Julius Rosenwald, William P. Sidley, president of the Y. M. C. A. (white) of Chicago and others identified with that work took part in the dedication of the new $200,000 building, the costliest structure of the kind ever erected for the use of colored people. Preceding the ceremonies of dedication several organizations participated in a parade. Headed by the Eighth Infantry, I. N. G., the parade marched from Thirty-third street to 3763 South Wabash avenue, where the new-building is located. The gleaming trappings of the guardsmen were set off by the somber jack coats and high silk hats of several departments of the Masonic order which took part. The dedicatory address as made by Booker T. Washington, who declared the opening of the building marked an epoch in the advancement of the race. "The bright opportunity offered by this splendid institution," he said, "should aid the Negroes in having strong, clean bodies, without which no man can succeed. It should aid them in cultivating habits of economy, to invest in property in things that last. It should aid them to go mentally, to form the habit of living, to read the best literature. Influences growing out of this building should result in putting into the colored men of Chicago a new ambition, a spirit to live clean, upright lives and to work to save not only themselves but others." Mr. Sidley read a list of the givers of some of the large donations which have made the building a possibility. Among them were N. W. Harris, $25,000; Julius Rosenwald, $25,000; Cyrus H. McCormick, $25,000; the Pullman Company, $10,000; Mrs. G. F. Swift, $5,000, and the colored people, $20,000. MISSIONS ARE OPPOSED. Mr. Rosenwald declared he could not see the sense in spending millions on African missions when there are people right at home who need the help as badly and will appreciate it more. "We are here to dedicate this building to the task of removing race hatred, of which so much exists," he said. "I believe the races are coming to a better understanding every day. Here is an opportunity to show that things can be done with the Negro rather than for him, and for the Negro to demonstrate to the world that what he wants is an opportunity not as a Negro but as a man." CITY OF NEW YORK ANNIVERSARY SERVICE OF the Psalmist Baptist Church, Riggs avenue, near Carey street are still in Progress. Special program every night.

Argument upon the matter in the Court of Appeals is set for the 24th of this month. There has been much talk. Something else save talk is now necessary. On last Monday at the Bethel Preachers' Meeting, Bishop John Hurst was requested to act as treasurer of what might be sent in by the citizens and organizations of this city, with which to carry on the necessary warfare. Not another word is necessary when it is announced that Bishop Hurst has most kindly consented to act in the capacity of treasurer. Every one who sends a dollar, or one hundred dollars, knows just what kind a man is Bishop Hurst. He will not only receive what is sent him, but he will see that it is rightly and judiciously applied, and that in due season those contributing will be informed just how it was spent. Now, without further talk let all our preachers, school teachers, professional men, business men, and army of plain citizens, one and all, send in without delay, their dollars and half dollars, and even more, if able, for this necessary work for racial defense. Let those who refuse to sing to this tune, the army being duly announced, forever hold their peace about their love of race, their patriotic devotion etc. How much do you love the race? Answer promptly, whether it be no more than a dollar or half dollar. The address is, Bishop John Hurst, 1806 McCulloh street. If sent to this office it will be promptly forwarded to Bishop Hurst, and the name and amount published in the Afro-American Ledger as a receipt for the same. Let there be a generous and noble response, for there is very much work before us, and the treasury is empty. SOME BIG MEN IN THE WAY It is astonishing the large number of big men we have in almost every community that are simply in the way of every movement that has for its ultimate end the good of the community. This is true not only in the community at large but in every society, church and other institution. They will neither push, pull or get out of the way. The net result is that almost every effort put forth for the good of the people or com nunity is largely thwarted by this class of people We have a number of this kind of folk in Baltimore. At almost every meeting held to either push forward a movement or establish something good and useful, this chap or some of his kind are found there. He as a rule, is one of the first to get the floor and tell how the thing ought to, be done and is the last to do anything towards helping in any way. In fact he will neither push, pull or get out of the way. Up to the present no one has been asked to contribute of time or money to the segregation fight. When the meeting was held in the city hall he was there to do part of talking, if allowed to do so, but not an opportunity is offered for him to push or pull, he does neither. He simply stands on the corner or elsewhere and tells how the thing ought to be done. But not an ounce will he pull or push, nor will he get out of the way. It is time we had learned that fights are seldom won by simply talking about. We will admit that a certain amount of talk is necessary to get things going, but we too often stop when how it ought to be done. The talking is done. Talk as we may about our r's. this, we are never going to come into what belongs to us until we get into a position to make a strong, determined fight for it. We have simply got to wake up and get down to business on our own account. The fellow that usually gets help is the fellow that makes the effort to help himself. The under dog in the fight may get sympathy, but usually gets little help unless he is making a game fight himself. This we have got to learn and the sooner we learn it the sooner we will gain the strength to fight with. Push, pull or get out of the way. BROWN'S GROVE However modest and unpretentious an enterprise may be its success means so much for the thousands of poor but ambitious people who have a mind to struggle on and upward. The case of Captain George Brown, and Brown's Grove, ought to have splendid effect upon hundreds of poor but ambitious youths. For in the first place Captain Brown is simply an ordinary man without the learning of the schools, and what he has accomplished, and is still accomplishing, can be undertaken by any other ordinary man of honesty and industry. Captain Brown is an engineer, and holds the license of a Pilot under the United States government. He owns the steamer Starlight, as well as the grove which bears his name. His object, as a business man, is to promulgate that particular end of the business life as far as may be possible, and, incidentally, like all people who go into business, make a little money from the energy and capital invested. Captain Brown remarked to the writer, recently, that he has been in the business for six years. Six years ago, his first season, he hauled 6000 passengers on his boat, and had 177 arrests; last year he carried down 129,000 persons, and had only 2 arrests. Thus, he is not only trying to make a good business record but one of keeping a thoroughly orderly and respectable place. The grove is a beautiful one, and the steamer is admirably equipped for its purposes. The example of Captain Brown is worth much to the race. He is an object lesson. In six more years, at the present rate of progress, it will not be surprising to find "Bown's Grove" a veritable "fairyland." With increased patronage there will be an increased lay out in all those accessories which render such a resort more and more inviting and attractive. KEEPING THE RACE HUMBLE AND POOR. Doubtless, our readers have heard of the old story with respect to a certain congregation which showed its abiding interest in is pastor by unceasingly praying for him, and the burden of such prayer, was much after this fashion: "O Lord, you keep our dear pastor humble, and we will keep him poor." In the light of a practice which has become altogether too common and wide spread, the spirit of the same prayer is realised in the 'habit' of an unceasing round of "entertainments of one kind or another. The effect of such a destructive habit could hardly be more marked had it been thought out to that same end. The same thing is true of a group of people as of an individual. If a young man is starting out in life, and if he as the simple element of common sense, he knows that he can only hope to reach the idea of competency vaguely in his mind, by studying to have as few wants as possible. The more he can accus tom himself to doing without this thing or that thing, the stronger he becomes in the necessary element of self-discipline. And as he thus grows he is better able to conserve all of his resources to advantage. But, if he gives away to the emotion of his nature, and continues to practise, he destroys the possibility of any useful future and career. As innocent as it may appear, yet it is nevertheless a positive fact, that this disposition upon the part of many among us who having some kind of leadership, study and invent every conceivable process to keep up and keep alive this emotional tendency of the race in the direction of thoughtlessness, is more powerful for harm than all the segregation and disfranchisement acts in the end. We ought to have some entertainments and diversions, but we are now having entirely too much. It is vastly more important to teach the race how to conserve its resources, than how to remain in a state of compartive object poverty. We are not unmindful of the fact that most of these entertainments are for the benefit of the church or charitable purposes. So far from this good purpose improving the matter it renders it infinitely worse. The church and all moral agencies should be concerned with inculcating principles which are fundamentally right, and should, by no manner of means, be guilty of approving questionable methods in accomplishing a worthy end. If the same time and energy were bestowed by those who are ever ready to lead off in such questionable forms of entertainment in teaching, systametically, fundamentally correct principles of giving,—two definite good things would be the result of such insistent teaching by example and precept. First, a greater amount of money would be raised for such pious purpose than is now raised by the 'entertainment method, and educative knowledge would incidental be dispensed. And, secondly instead of making the race poorer, it would increase the resources of the race everyway. The intelligent habit of systematic action would prove a rich asset which would go into all of the various business relationships of life. HELP THIS WORTHY CAUSE Filing briefs costs money. They have to be printed and that costs money. The lawyer has to go to Annapolis and appear before the Court of Appeals, and that costs money. It takes time to make research and look up authorities. Ought he to be asked to do it for you and for me for nothing? Would you give him a day's work or a week's work for nothing? Hardly Then why ask him to take his time and energy to fight your battles. Come on down with the cash.

Both parties have a national and a local organization, that being a fact one party will not yield to the other. Here is a solution in my judgment. The Republicans, Progressives and delegates meet and decide to nominate candidates for the legislature and other local officers to be voted for next November. By adopting such a method you will rout the old ringsters that are now in the saddle and get men who will represent the interest of the commonwealth and not the interest of individuals. The Afro-American Investment and Employment Company of Kansas City is a company selling and renting homes to Negroes and then helping to keep the owners or renters in paying jobs so that they will be able to meet their payments. They have been operating for eight years, have sold hundreds of homes and placed thousands in good positions and foreclosed only one mortgage. THE FIRST RENOVATION CAMPAIGN OFFERING DAY. at hand. A.

A minister who preached for many years in a suburb of Cincinnati retired and went to Florida to live. After a year or so there he paid his first visit to New York in twenty years. He wandered about for two days and then went to see an old Cincinnati friend. "I have been watching the people in this city," said the dominie to his friend, "and I wonder and grieve at the money madness I see everywhere. This rush and hurry and eagerness for money abashes me. It is astonishing! Why, down in Florida one can live in comfort for $2,000 a year, but here they think and talk and act in terms of millions! "It is all so vast and so complex!" he sighed. "Why, this afternoon I walked down by your tallest building. I stood on the curb and looked up and up and up, and tried to comprehend the immensity of that structure. My mind reeled. I felt faint and dizzy. I leaned against the building for support, and a passing newsboy chitped: "Cheer up, old sport! It ain't again! to fall on you!" — Saturday Evening Post. Proof Positive. One of the,wittiest men of a past generation of Englishmen was Bishop Samuel Wilberforce. Toward the end of a meeting at which he spoke, says Walter Jerrold in his "Book of Famous Wits," the audience began to disperse. Algentleman whose name was on the program of speakers said to the bishop, "I need not speak; I hardly think they expect me." "To be sure they do," said Wilber forde. "Don't you see they are all going?" MARYLANDERS OF MARK Rev. William Douglass No.4. The late Rev. William Douglass was a Methodist minister, who received instruction in the languages, and other advanced branches of learning from Daniel Coker. Daniel Coker was the son of an English woman, who had been a widow. Daniel's half brother, who was white, would not go to school unless Daniel accompanied him, and thus it was through such means that Coker received a splendid education which he so wisely used in the education of a number of other colored men. Mr. Douglass, then, was greatly in debt for his start to Daniel Coker. Really, Coker was the first colored man selected a Bishop in the African Methodist Episcopal Church. For good reasons, he afterwards declined the office and Richard Allen was elected. Coming back to Mr. Douglass, it was in Cecil county, Md., that he was admitted to the Episcopal ministry. The record of this event made by Bishop Stone, who ordained him, is exceedingly interesting. He says: "On Sunday, 22 (June, 1834). I preached in St. Stephen's parish, Cecil county (Sassafras Neck) and admitted to the Order of Deacons William Douglass, a colored man and in the afternoon of the same day I confirmed three persons....... Many persons who were present never before witnessed an ordination, and I am sure that the impression made upon their minds was favorable to the church, and her institutions. In the afternoon, by previous arrangement, the church was given up to the colored people, and the Rev. Mr. Douglass preached to them an interesting sermon." Very soon after his ordination, Mr. Douglass removed to the city of Philadelphia, and assumed charge of St. Thomas Church, that city. That was his first and only parish. It is peculiarly interesting to note the impressions made upon white men of that day who came sufficiently into contact with educated Negroes to give forth an honest testimony. In 1836, Mr. Douglass was advanced to the priesthood, and here is the testimony of the white Bishop who officiated upon that occasion. Says Bishop Onderdonk: "On Sunday February 14th, in St. Thomas African Church, Philadelphia, I admitted the Rev. William Douglass, deacon, to the holy order of priests. Mr. Douglass is a man of colour; and I take this opportunity of recording my very favorable estimate of his highly respectable intellect, and most amiable qualities, which entirely relieved my mind, in his case, from the anxieties I had long felt in reference to this department of Episcopal duty. He ministers to a congregation at unity in itself, much attached to him, and improving, under his pastoral care, in the principles and duties of our common Christianity." The writer of this article has now in his library two bound volumes of which the late Mr. Douglass is the author. One of them is a book of sermons, preached in St. Thomas Church, Philadelphia, and published in 1853. The other, is a history of St. Thomas Church. The Rev. Mr. Douglass was most highly respected in the community of Philadelphia, where he spent his entire clerical life. It might be interesting to some of our readers to know that it was this same kev. Mr. Douglass who performed the marriage ceremony, in the city of Philadelphia, by the which the late Mr. William H. Fishop, of this city, and Miss Chew, became man and wife. At the opening of the Diocesan Convention of 1862 Bishop Alonzo Potter, in reporting his entrance upon eternal life, said: "It hath pleased the Lord to call away from the Church Militant the Rev. William Douglass, rector of St. Thomas African Church, in this city, where he has ministered for the last twenty-seven years—a man of great modesty, of ripe scholarship, and of much more than ordinary talents and prudence. He is, as far as I am informed, the only clergyman of unmixed African decent who, in this country, has published works of considerable magnitude. In two volumes, one of sermons, and one a history of St. Thomas Church, he has vindicated his right to appear among our respected divines. As a reader of the Liturgy he was unsurpassed."

All else ts intem- perance. and there is a kiud in which Wine and strong drink play no part, as in Isa, xxis. 9, "They are drunken, but hot with wine: they suger. but not Fwith strong drink.” ‘This,fs somewhat similar tw the famine of Amos vill. 1, which has nu reference to lack of Wend ur water, but to hearing the words of the Lord. ‘Whe first six verses of our lesson re- fer to. scif Indulgence in the way of ease and pleasure and revelry and a reliance upon luman help, with no thonght of God except a mere form of worship, which was only a inockery and a provoration to the Lord. In the Liast two verses Jehovah says, “I abhor the excellency of dicub. and hate bis palaces.” In’ Ezek. xxiv, 21, He says, “{ will profane iny sanctuary, the ex- celleucy of your strength, the desire of your eyes und that whieh your soul pitieth." ‘They gloried in the fnet that they were the chosen uation in their temple. their ritual, and thes were somewhat diligent in the outward form, but the heart was not right with God. Leaven in Scripture {s invariably suggestive of corrnption, of evil. and He said, “Offer your sacrifices: with enven, for (aut ix like you, sv ye lve to do” (Amos iv, 4. 5 and margin). Be- cause of their evil hearts and evil do- ings He conlt nut tolerate their reli- gionsness and swid: “1 bate.
