THE AFRICAN AMERICAN LEDGER VOL. XXIII. NO. 49 HURST AND RANKIN VISIT BERMUDA HURST AND RANKIN VISIT BERMUDA Prominent Clergymen Looking After Work of the A. M. E. Church on the Island Shelley's Bay, Bermuda, July 28.—Bishop John Hurst, who has charge of the conferences in the Fifteenth Episcopal district, and Rev. Dr. J. W. Rankin, secretary of missions of the A. M. E. Church, are here looking after the work of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. On their arrival on Monday of last week they were met by practically all of the ministers on the island and given a most cordial welcome. The annual session of the Bermuda Conference opened at Bethel Church with a large attendance last Thursday morning. Bishop Hurst, who presided, delivered a most helpful address, in which he urged the ministers to foster the work of the church and education. Interest centered in the election last Friday of ministerial and lay delegates to the coming session of the General Conference of the nomination at Philadelphia. Revs. Austin Richardson and J. D. Smith were elected ministerial delegates, while Charles Fubler and Dr. J. W. Cann, a member of the colonial parliament, were chosen as the lay representatives. The conference branch of the Women's Mite Missionary Society met Friday afternoon, during which an inspiring address was delivered by Dr. Rankiin. Rev. R. J. Stowell preached the educational sermon Rev. C. B. Collins, the annual one and Rev. Joseph Gomez, the missionary sermon. The conference closed Monday. The cornerstone of a mission station on the north shore of Pembroke Parish was laid Tuesday, Governor J. M. Bullock, Bishop Hurst and Dr. Rankin being among those taking a prominent part therein. The two churchmen have been the recipients of marked attention since their arrival here, and general regret is expressed that they will have to return to the United States soon. MISS LANCASTER A BRIDE. Miss Vineta Lancaster and Mr. George Mason were the prinicpals in a pretty wedding at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. George W. Lancaster, of 828 Druid Hill avenue, Wednesday night. The bride entered the parlor leaning on the arm of her father, by whom she was given away. Rev. John A. Holmes performed the ceremony. She was attractively attired in embroidered batist, trimmed with lace and carried bride roses. The bridesmaid, Miss Mary Mantley, was gowned in voile with Irish lace trimmings. Mr. Bernard Lancaster, brother of the bride, was best man. A reception and wedding supper followed. The presents, which were numerous and handsome, included gifts in silver, cut glass, bric-a-brac, linens, furniture, jewelry and household utensils, as well as money. Mr. and Mrs. Mason will be at home this Sunday evening at 828 Druid Hill avenue. DR. HILL'S DAUGHTER MARRIES Petersville, Md., July 30. —Miss Esther B. Hill, of Baltimore, and Rev. J. B. St. Felix Isaacs, pastor of Gilbert Presbyterian Church, Wilmington, Del., were married here last night. The welding took place at the country home of the bride's parent, Rev. and Mrs. D. G. Hill, Bishop Leo J. Coppinny and Rev. J. M. McEdilroy officiating. [Picture of a man in a suit with a mustache]. BISHOP JOHN HURST GOLDSBOROUGH OUT OF THE RACE Governor Decides Not to be a Candidate to Succeed Himself Broening May Seek Renomination With the declination of Governor Goldsborough to stand for a renomination, haste was made to line-up either behind Cvington E. Weller or William T. Warburton. The Governor is said to have been desirious of running long ago, but found out that a number of his strongest supporters four years ago had gotten behind Weller. He would not have commanded much support among colored voters in a primary. State Roads Chairman Weller has many strong supporters and some predict his nomination. Mr. Warburton, who lives at Elkton, is highly regarded by the white and colored people of Cecil county. He is a lawyer and is regarded as one of the best orators in the State. CARRINGTONS' DEFI Col. Edward C. Carrington is anything if not picturesque. In announcing his candidacy for the United States Senate, he scored W. F. Stone and declared that he was going to support Weller. He invited Stone to oppose him for the Senate. BROENING MAY RUN When State's Attorney William F. Broening returns next week from his visit to the California expositions he will find that a goodly sized boom for his renomination for the position is underway. According to his friends and close observers, Mr Broening has made a good record in the position. His colored friends assert that he is entitled to renomination for securing the conviction of Charles Monell, white, for killing Charles Bantum. Monell who was beating his way from Norfolk, Va., was taken in by the colored man and given a place to sleep. The following morning a dispute arose and Monell killed Bantum. A coroner's jury exonerated the white man, but Mr. Broening ordered him held. He was subsequently indicted, and given a sentence of fifteen years in the Maryland Penitentiary. ELKTON STARS VICTORS A very interesting exhibition of the national past time was given at Cecilton. (Md.) last Thursday afternoon when the Elkton Stars defeated the Cecilton Giants 5 to 4.

The Tri-State Dental Association held its annual session here week before last with dentist from Maryland, the District of Columbia in attendance. Dr. G. Wormley, of Washington, read an interesting paper on 'Emetine Chloride Treatment for Tyrrea.' He asserted that 90 per cent of such cases were due to mercury in the system. Drs. A. O. Reid, R. G. Baker, O. D. Jones, J. M. Avery, and J. M. Wilkins were the Baltimoreans in attendance. The following officers were elected: B. H. Ferguson, Richmond, president; J. M. S. Ramsey, Richmond, secretary; and Dr. Albert O. Reid, Baltimore, treasurer. VERNON OUSTED FROM CAMPBELL Bishop Connor Burned in Effigy By Enraged Partisians of the Former Register of the Jackson, Miss., July 29.—Wm. T. Vernon has been ousted from the presidency of Campbell College, and his friends are angry. They held an indignation meeting last Thursday, night, and after expressing their disapproval of Vernon's misdissal in scatning terms, they proceeded to burn in effigy Bishop James M. Conner, president of the board of trustees of the college. Dr. Vernon has had many ups and downs in life since he finished the course at Wilberforce University. He was doing finely as president of Western University at Quindaro, Kan., when he conceived the idea that he would like to become Register of the United States Treasury. The late Bishop Grant was president of the board of trustees of the university, and President Vernon succeeded in getting his active support for the position. S. Laing Williams, of Chicago, was also a candidate for the position of Register of the Treasury, which was then held by Judson W. Lyons. of Augusta, Ga. Bishop Grant, after a hard fight, managed to get Dr. Booker T. Washington to endorse Dr. Vernon, and President Roosevelt, seat his name to the Senate. After the Senate confirmed his nomination, Dr. Vernon resigned the presidency of Western University, but as he declared that he only intended holding the federal position for a short time, influential friends, one of whom was Bishop Grant, the presidency of the university was not filled. Dr. Vernon wielded some influence in Kansas politics, but managed to be with the losers, when Senator Long ran for reelection. The advent of William R. Stubs into the governorship meant that Vernon had no political friends in Kansas among those dominating affairs. As Kansas supported the university by liberal appropriations Governor Stubs insisted that Vernon either resign the position in Washington or the one in Kansas. He even told Bishop Grant that he had enough honors from the nation and was about to return to his old position. The latter published the same in his news note to the Christian Record. Register Vernon did not get along well with Dr. Booker T. Wahington, and, by this time, James C. Napier, the Nashville banker, was being groomed for the Registrship. Dr. Vernon denied that he intended giving up the Washington position, stating that he may have promised to do so while suffering from neurastheina. He was then succeeded at Western University by H. T. Kealing, and a few months later President Taft sent Mr. Napier's name to the Senate as Vernon's successor in the Registership. Vernon then managed to secure a small position in the Indian service which he gave up to become president of Campbell College. He is regarded as having had aspirations for the A. M. E. bishopric. WALKER INDICTED FOR MURDER Richmond, Va., July 29.—The expected has happened and Russell E. T. Walker has been indicted for the killing of his father, Armstead Walker, the Hustings court grand jury returning a true bill Monday. He was immediately released on $2,000 bail in his mother, Mrs. Maggia in Walker, being his surety. [Picture of a man in a suit and tie]. WM. T. VERNON JOHN WESLEY WATKINS DEAD John W. Watkins, one of the oldest members of Bethel A. M. E. Church, died at his home, 1104 Druid Hill avenue, Wednesday night. His death occurred after an illness of one day, and came as a distinct shock to his many friends. He attended revival services nightly at Bethel Church last week and was present at the services Sunday. The deceased was born in Montgomerv County 84 years ago, but had lived in this city since boyhood. For more than 50 years he was a member of Bethel Church, and was a trustee at the time of his death. He was a member of Friendship Lodge of Masons and Humane Lodge of Odd Fellcws. Funeral services will be held at Bethel Church this Sunday afternoon. Interment will be in Laurel Cemetery. Mr. Watkins is survived by his widow Mrs. Marv Watkins; one son, John W. Watkins, Jr.; three daughters, Miss Lavinia Watkins; Mrs. Bescilla Smith and Mrs. D. Grant Scott. WRIGHT GETS $5,000 JOB Chicago, July 28.—Former County Commissioner Edward H. Wright has been appointed an assistant in the corporation counsel's office at a salary of $5,000 a year. Two other colored men—Attorney Louis B. Anderson and Rev. A.J. Carey have been appointed to good berths in the same office within the past two weeks. Rumor has it that Mayor Thompson intends giving colored men a number of desirable berths. Among those mentioned for a position on one of the city boards is Edward H. Morris, former member of the State legislature and head of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows in America. GOVERNOR VISITS EXPOSITION Richmond, Va., July 29.—With a visit from Governor Stuart, Giles B. Jackson's exposition came to a close Wednesday. The Governor expressed himself as being well pleased with the exhibits typifying the progress that the race has made within the past 50 years. BALTIMORE ENTERTAINED Washington, D. C., July 29. On Monday evening of this week Mrs. Addie Washington, 613 Carolina avenue, southeast, gave a neatly appointed dinner at her residence in honor of Mrs. Orrie Sears of Baltimore, Md. Among those present were: Mrs. Orrie Sears, Mrs. John Braxton, Miss Mamie and Alice Payne, Miss Alice Chavis, Meera, Robert Ashton, Lilloy Stewart, Jack Murray and Mr. Piper. REV. DR. MASON SLIGHTLY BETTER REV. DR. MASON SLIGHTLY BETTER Eminent Churchman at Hopkins Hospital Shows Improvement Rev. Dr. M. C. B. Mason, who is seriously ill at Johns Hopkins Hospital from an affection of the kidneys, is reported to be in a lightly improved condition. His condition was so grave last Saturday that the end was thought near, but he rallied under the skill care of the physicians in attendance. Many local ministers have visited him, and say that he is apparently a very sick man. Dr. Mason is said to have met with some treatment that is not due a man in his station in life. He was advised to go to the hospital by Dr. Daniel H. Williams, the well known Chicago surgeon, and brought with him a letter to a prominent physician connected with the institution. When he entered the hospital and was about to be prepared to enter a bed in the public ward (there were no private ones for colored patients) one of the orderlies is said to have remarked: "Joe, take off your clothes." Dr. Mason soon found out that no colored patients, no matter how much they paid, were addressed any different from the free patients, "Joe," "Jim," "Mary" and "Jones" being the way orderlies, nurses and doctors usually term colored patients. At a critical stage during Dr. Mason's illness, his wife was advised by a nurse to go into the corridor. The nurse thought the Dr. Mason was on the verge of death and wanted to spare Mrs. Mason the ordeal of seeing her husband die. A physician is said to have met her in the corridor and gruffly demanded the cause of her presence there. When she explained he is alleged to have declared that "the corridor was no place for her to be strutting around." When a well known colored minister called on the physician to inquire about the incident, he is said to have received little satisfaction. The minister when approached by a representative of the Afro-American Ledger declined to make any statement, only saying that the colored people of the city should amply support Provident Hospital, and thus avoid humiliating incidents. John Hopkins is noted for its efficiency and the man for whom it is named intended it to be an institution for all classes of the sick. Surgeons connected therewith are famed for their achievements, yet no colored man, regardless of his financial ability, may secure a private room. Many of the paying colored patients come from the south for skillful treatment, only to be addressed by nurse, physician and orderly as one would speak to a servant. Dr. Mason was for sixteen years corresponding secretary of the Freedmen's Aid Society of the M. E. Church and enjoys a wide acquaintance. REV. KIAH AT ST. MARK'S New York, July 28.—The pulpit at St. Mark's M. F. Church last Sunday morning in the absence of Rev Dr. W. H. Brooks who has sailed to Haiti for his vacation, was occupied by Rev T. H. Kiah principal of the Princess Anne Academy at Princess Anne, Md. Rev Kiah preached on "The New Life." He is a graduate of Princess Anne Academy and Morgan College Baltimore, and has studied at Cornell University. He is in this city attending the summer school of Columbia University.

Hughes district superintendent of the Washington district, Washington Conference, is leading the local option fight among the colored people of St. Mary's county. Dr. Hare, of the Anti-Saloon League is leading the fight among the whites. St. Mary's county is Maryland's "hot bed" for the whiskey traffic and while it is among our state's poorest counties the people spend about $217,000 annually for alcoholic drinks. About one-half of this amount is spent by colored people who hardly average fifty cents a day for labor. Indications point to a drv victory August 3rd, and if the victory is won it will be due to the colored voters desire for a galloonless county.

"THE NIGGER" The Governor of Ohio States That the "Birth of a Nation" Will Never be Shown in the State While He is Chief Executive An attempt to put on the miserable photoplay, "The Nigger", was made by the management of the "Majestic Theatre company" of this city, on May 12, under the new name, "The Mystery of Morrow's Rest," and had it not been too eager to take the public into confidence by stating in the advertisement that the play was being shown in other states under the name of "The Nigger," the effort might have been successful. As it was, the play was billed for two days, and succeeded in giving two performances while the committee on grievances of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. was getting into action. A complaint was made to the City Manager whom immediately investigated and found that the play was being shown with all of the objectionable features. The local committee consulted an attorney with a view to entering a legal protest; but the City Manager informed the State Board of Censors at Columbus, and two of its members came to the city at once, and without the knowledge of the management of the theatre, witnessed the play for themselves: after which they held a conference with the City Manager, with the result that an officer was sent to the theatre, and the play was stopped. —Cleveland Gazett. STICK TO YOUR BUSINESS If you are a business man, let your business come first. Many of our people go into and run business like the man who bought a cow, and continued to milk that cow without giving it proper care. When the cow ceased to give milk, he looked around for the reason. While he was looking the cow died. Just so with your business. You must put a certain percentage of your profits back into it. You must advertise it and give it the proper care, else it will die. —Cleveland Advocate. RELIGIOUS DEMENTIA Virginia doctor says religious revivals tend to produce religious dementia. Anyhow, you always come into contact with a larger number of demented ones at the time. Of course this may be explained by the presence of the revivalists. —Amsterdam News. NEGROFS AND NAVAL ACADEMY Negro students have never disgraced any school! Annapolis has been used as a breeding ground for aristocrats rather than as an American institution for the inculcation and perpetuation of Democratic ideals. In that great American school, not a single colored student, and yet in the real naval battles of this coun- try the Negro has ever been conspicuous by his heroism! In West Point the great military academy, not a single colored student! What is happening to Europe will happen to America. When that day arrives, and America looks around for defenders, the Negro may not rush to the front so cheerfully as in days of yore offering himself as a sacrifice for people, whose supremeest delight in times of peace, is to spit upon him and his children. —Cincinnati Union.

It itched and itched and itched him so He shaved it all away. "The mustache stuff is easy". Soothes things that over was. Bill's grew and grew and grew some more. And then was only fuzz. "A board for mine", said Jimmic. As he scratched his scrubby head. He tried and tried and tried again. And when it came out, twas red. Well it is not in intention Oil of joy or oil of woe. But downright inherent qualities That make the whiskers grow. Developed Negro music has just been begun in America, writes Will Marion Cook in the New York Evening Post. After syncopated music what? Certain colored residents of Southern states have sued the Secretary of the Treasury for sums amounting to 68 millions of dollars. We hope they get it, but we ask them to remember the case of the poor rich Indians. "Not even as good as a country fair" says a correspondent of the Ohio Advocate, in speaking of the National Exposition at Richmond. We wonder if he looked for too much. A good country fair might well represent what we have done in fifty years, considering that we started without an acre of land, a horse, a plough, or a mule, with nothing, but our hands and the half-willed desire to overcome the odds against us. --- Lightening struck the Third Baptist Church in Xenia, Ohio during an electrical storm on Sunday night and the congregaton rushed out panic strickne. Women and children were bruised and many fainted, no one seriously injured. Rev. A. M. Howe, pastor and one hundred persons of the congregation REMAINED for a prayer of thanksgiving. This according to a news item. We are of the opinion that the word is "returned." A gang of shoplifters, four colored women and one colored man operated in the stores of Cincinnati for two years without being detected. When arrested a silk dress worth thirty dollars was found on one of the women, secreted by rolling it up like a ball. Two detectives Guethlein and Hueftlein working with a representative of a London detective bureau succeeded in apprehending the criminals. Serves them right. They should have known enough to quit when Germany and England got together. --- "I imagine yourself next fall going out to begin a little school," said Booker T. Washington, in his closing lecture to the teachers at his summer school. "What is the first human activity that you are likely to come into contact with when you go to your school next October or November. I rather imagine the average school will need a sweeping." Dusting and scrubbing might be added as second and third human activities. The affect of the recent health conference is still apparent. August 4th, is the birthday of two illustrious Americans. In 1810 Robert Purvis first saw the light of day. He arose to fame as an abolitionist. Seventy-two years ago, the dean of Baltimore clergymen, Harvey Johnson, was born in Fauquier county, Virginia. "Let Germany beware," says the New York Amsterdam News "Should we fight for such a country as this" answers the New York News. "Don't get excited, Brethren" puts in the Phialdephia Tribune, "any sort of a fight is a good thing to stay out of, if you can." Well, if the worst comes to the worst, we suggest that like Ulysses of old, we stuff our ears with raw cotton that we may not hear the military bands sent in the colored section for recruiting purposes. From January first to July first the numur of victims of the lynch-law reached thirty-four, thirteen more than in the first half of last year. With twenty-four Negroes, ten whites were hung, burned or shot, sometimes all three, on charges varying from petty theft to rape. This represents an increase of nine white over last year. "Lawlessness against the Negro recoils against those who use it," sagely observes the New York world. If the house of the Georgia legislature concurs in the bill recently passed by the senate, white teachers will be prevented from teaching in colored schools and colored teachers in white schools. The latter part of the provision seems to have been inserted to give the action the appearance of fairness. The white teachers in the colored schools are those aimed at, and especially the higher schools like Atlanta University, Spelman Seminary, Clark-University and Gammon Theological Seminary, where the faculties are predominatingly white, and the president of the school always a white man. The higher education of the Negro owes its remarkable growth in large measure to the Yankee school teachers who came south after the war, and to the spiritual descendents of those who remain in the South today as teachers. We are minded to speak of the injustice and the Jim Crow spirit of such a measure, when we remember the state where the measure is proposed. We ask simply "Can any good thing come out of Georgia?" After a discussion that showed the abysmal ignorance of the group of citizens that run our school affairs under the head of school board and the colossal provincialism of some white Baltimoreans, School 100 received the name of Douglass, 111, Dunbar; 112, Elliott; and 113, Banneker The name of Crispus Attucks for School 115 was rejected as that of a "rabble couser." "To indorse that would be to indorse mob acts." Coleridge Taylor for 110 was not accepted because he was not an American. One member of the board objected repeatedly to the names proposed by the colored people themselves, offering in place of them such names as Bunker Hill and General Grant. There could be no stronger argument for a colored member of the board to have said to those gentlemen that their function was to pass judgment on the names suggested, with never a thought of interposing their own selection of names for the schools. VIGILANCE COMMITTEES Having noted the seeming enthusiasm with which the Cleveland Gazette took up the plan_of the Southwestern Christian Advocate to establish a Vigilance Committee, which is to be located in Washington, D. C., especially during the sessions of Congress, for the purpose of looking after all matters of importance to the race, we felt that the N. A. A. C. P. was the logical organization to do a thing of this kind. In fact we remembered the activity of this association on the intermarriage bills and legislation in the interest of the Negro. Agricultural Schools. We asked Miss Nerney, general secretary of the National Association what had been done already on this direction, and quote a portion of her reply. "This work was admirably done last year by our Washington Branch and this year the work is being put on a broad and stronger basis. The Association paid a representative to keep truck of legislation in each branch of Congress. These were experienced newspaper men who had direct access to all matters of interest to us. "We fear that this idea of organizing another Vigilance Committee is simply the old story of division and disagreement which has been the history of the colored people for the last sixty years. No other organization or committee can possibly have the influence back of it that ours has through such representatives as Mr. Villard with his powerful paper; Mr. Storey, one of the greatest lawyers in this country; Mr. Jacob H. Schiff and any others that we might name. To start another organization will not help colored people but in the end will hurt them as it will be regarded everywhere by thinking people as another evidence of disorganization." With our contemporaries we recognize that "eternal vigilance is the price of safety,"but we have the machinery already organized. What we need is to set it to work. Vigilance committees are needed not only in Washington but in state capitals, and the local branches of the N. A. A. C P. should perform that function with eager willingness. HOW ABOUT THE FRANK CASE In the face of alibis, sworn by several witnesses including the mother of the accused, Aloysius Sheppard on trial for two days at Denton, Md., on the charge of criminally assaulting a white girl, Mildred Clark, has been found guilty and sentenced to be hanged. According to the daily press the testimony of a number of colored men did not help the case, while the most damaging evidence was that given by a white man, one William Kleiper. "Kleiper testified that he heard the whistles of the factory blowing, and thinking there was a fire, started toward the town. He met Sheppard, he said, and asked him where the fire was. The Negro told him there was no fire, but that a colored man had dragged a white girl in the woods and assaulted her. Kleiper then said to Sheppard that the Negro would be hung, but Sheppard smiled and said they could not hang anybody in Maryland for that crime." Considering Sheppard's stout denial of guilt in the presence of a gruelling cross-examination and the flimsiness of the "most damaging evidence," it were difficult to find any reason in the decision of the judges, unless we mention one other thing, the temper of the mob that jammed the courtroom those two days that threatened lynching, if Sheppard were sentenced to life imprisonment instead of hanging, that makes a guard of thirty deputes necessary at the Denton jail. To hang Sheppard was the easiest way out. It takes less resistance to adjudge guilty one "unspeakable Negro brute," whatever that may mean, than to discourage a mob of white brutes bent on taking the law into their hands? Meanwhile with pharissical complacency Maryland congratulates herself that she is better than Georgia. LATE LITERARY NEWS A little larger than the 'Crisis,' puritanically simple in its grey printed cover, attractive in printing and arrangement the first issue of the "ClTIZEN" for August 1915, has found its way to our desk. Published in Boston, the new magazine enjoys the expert aid and counsel of William Stanley Braithwaite, poet and critic, and aims to devote itself entirely to the encouragement of literary production among colored Americans. T. Montgomery Gregory under the title "the fine Arts and Race Ascendancy" gives a clear statement of what the editors hope to accomplish in this new venture. He quotes Emerson: "Universal History is at bottom the history of Great Men who have worked here—they were the leaders of men, these great ones; the modellers, paternals and in a wider sense creators of whatsoever the general mass of men contrived to do or attain," in support of his argument that we measure progress in the terms of "exceptional achievement" in the realms of the fine arts. Emerson included among his great men prophets, kings, poets and men of letters. With the first two says Mr. Gregory we have nothing to do, so that he expands the remaining two to include music, painting and sculpture—the fine arts. Phyllis Wheatley,Dunbar,Eraith wait and Bohanon are mentioned as examples of Great Men who have achieved in poetry, Coleridge-Taylor and Will Marion Cook in music, and W. O. Tanner in painting. These are our heroes but they are far too few. "We ask for a seat among the mighty of the earth but when we are measured by the standards the world has used from time immemorial, we have only the widow's mite to offer. We are weighed and found wanting. We fly for refuge to statistical tables of economic progress; the world hides a smile and bids us move on-up into the gallery." To find an "orchestra seat" in the hall of races we must develop our quota of exceptional men. There must be more Dunbars and Coleridge-Taylors before our cries for recognition will be heeded. "The publication of a literary magazine such as the "Citizen" is an encouraging sign in this direction. At last the timid poet, dramatist or essayist with a black skin has the opportunity of offering the workings of his muse to a sympathetic critic and having his writings published. For this reason alone The Citizen deserves the loyal support of every Negro in the United States. For in the rise of men and women of letters and of music and of art is to be found our true hope for race ascendancy." Besides stories of some interest by Alice Ruth Moore Dunbar, Anne L. Thomas and Zoor Tennessee, a poem by Fenton Johnson is especially worthy of notice. Alexander Jackson at one time premier hurdler in Harvard writes on athletics, and Clarence Cameron White on topics of interest to violinists. George W. Ellis of Chicago, contributes an article on the "Negro in Chicago," and Ophie Brown Wells, who knew the original Fisk Jubilee singers intimately, tells of "Some Musicians I have known." Olivia Ward Bush is editor-in-chief of the new magazine. CAPT. BROWN MISINFORMED? Editor of the Afro-American Ledger Dear Sir: Kindly allow me space in your paper to deny the assertion in the issue of July 18th. As one of the parties to the transaction, I am in a position to pronounce the alleged remarks by Father Griffiths as absolutely untrue. Some malicious person or persons must have been Captain Brown's informer. Capt Brown however should have remembered the remarks Father Griffiths made to him when he met him. I was the person that went to Capt. Brown's house to secure a date and make arrangements for him to meet Father Griffiths and me in the office of the Parish House. Father Griffiths said, "Capt. Brown, I am glad you have a boat that can carry our crowd on. You don't know how glad I am." This does not sound as if he did not want the Staright in fact he was the first to suggest it. Our agreement with Capt. Brown was to leave at 9 o'clock; the place was not decided upon at that time. Later about one week before the Excursion and after our tickets and placards had been printed and distributed, Capt. Brown wrote a letter to Father Griffiths with regard to changing the hour of departure. This was impossible. What the public is saying about the Excursion should not be blamed on Father Griffiths or St. Mary's. Whatever the cause we know the boat did not arrive at Cambridge at 4.30 and it would have been unwise to land and cause us to arrive in Baltimore about 1 or 2 o'clock. ALFRED A. ROHOBLT. 409 Robert St. RESOLUTIONS FOR GEORGE W. JOLLY RESOLUTIONS FOR GEORGE W. JOLLY In memory of George W. Jolly, who departed this life July 23, 1915.

Thomas, Landon O. Grigg, Jesse Ireland, James M. Saunders, John Carter, John Albert and Daniel Julius. The Tennis Club, of Annapolis, (Md.) is progressing finely under the direction of Prof. Wormley, of Washington, D. C. You and your organization, the Boy Scouts, are cordially invited to be present and participate in the First Great Annual State Bazaar and Carnival to be held at Elliott City, Md., September 2nd and 3rd, 1915 by the Howard County Colored People's Improvement League Kindly respond. One of the best occasions of its kind this season was held at Ebenezer A. M. E. Church Monday last. The Boy Scouts gave a big automobile straw ride and block carnival. The boys were assisted by the Camp Fire Girls, a new organization that means to stand right back of the Boy Scouts and push them up the hill when ever they slip down a little. And back of the whole affair was Mr. Charles Tolson. The affair was a success, and the boys of Ebenezer might well feel proud of it. Troop No. 2 of East Baltimore, Troop No. 1 of North Baltimore, and Troop No. 5 of South Baltimore attended the carnival and spent an enjoyable evening. The carnival was for benefit of the boys' suits. BOY SCOUTS REPORT To the Boy's Column in the Afro-American Ledger and Scouts— We, the Boy Scouts of Salisbury gladly accept your invitation which makes us feel that we are recognized as Boy Scouts of America. Then to communicate with distant Scouts and to know of their doings makes us feel that we, the Negroes of the United States are doing something for the moral uplift of the colored youth. We also wish to thank the Boy Scouts of Baltimore for their courtesy toward Patrol Leader Newton Parsons while in Baltimore. All the Scouts in Troop No. 1 are getting ready for the Emancipation Fair which will convene here in October 19, 20, 21 and 22. For the first time in the history of the Boy's Column we have letters from our brother Scouts from Salisbury. We are delighted to hear from them. Scouts of Salisbury go on and on and upward until you reach those heights of success in "Scoutism" that you so richly deserve. Now we are going to have great big Field Day September 10. Captain Brown turns his whole grove over to the Scouts on that day. All kind of games, drills, athletic events and everything else will be pulled off on that great Boy Scout Day. We hereby extend to the Boy Scouts of Salisbury, an invitation to come and go with us. This great excursion and field day is not for Baltimore Scouts alone, but for all Scouts living in the State of Maryland. The only thing we will ask—"are you a Scout.?" You give the answer by presenting papers or a letter properly signed by your troop officers and at once you are at home. Ed. Hi! fellows!! A Scout should do a good turn daily, you know. What have you done today to help some one else? Well Bernard Dudley used his play time chopping wood up for his aunt. George Thellman helped a blind man across a crowded street. Alphonso Green took his penny soon to be spent in candy and gave it to a blind old lady. Joseph Kelso, commissioner and Rufus Pinkney, vice president, took charge of a man unable to get home alone and quickly returned him to his family. EXECUTIVE COUNCIL NEWS The meeting of the executive council of colored Boy Scouts of Maryland was held at John Wesley M. E. Church. The troop members were selected as follows: Macedonia Boy Scouts, Troop No. 1; Waters Troop No. 2; First Baptist, Troop No. 3; Centennial Troop No. 4; Ebenezer, Troop No. 6; John Wesley, Troop, No. 4. A committee was appointed to look after the troop number colors. Those on the committee are as follows: Mr. Green, chairman; Mr. Kelso, Mr. Davis, Mr. Holly and Mr. Payne. It was then passed through the Council that no boy under 12 years of age could become a boy scout. A resolution of condolence was sent to Scout Mitchell, who recently lost his father, on behalf of the scouts. The Council has a badge committee which is doing excellent work. Mr. O. Jones, president. There was appointed a singing committee to go around among the troops and teach the boys singing for Brown's Grove, September The champion Black Sox baseball team left Thursday for Crisfield, where they crossed bats with the Crisfield Giants Friday. They will play the Lindecos at Union League Park Saturday, and play the Hamptons at Gentlemen's Driving Park Sunday. The Trinitys defeated the Annapolis Giants in a double header at Union League Park Thursday of last week. The score was 5 to 2 in the first game and 6 to 3 in the second. Roy F. Morse, the little colored spinner of the Salem-Crescent A. A. of New York, and junior metropolitan 100 yard champion has been selected by F. W. Rubien, chairman of the Championship Committee of the A. A. U. to represent the East at the Panama Pacific Exposition games, August 7. The expenses of Morse's trip will be borne by the A. A. U. Colored athletes again proved their prowess in competition with other athletes when the Salem-Crescent A. C. and St. Christopher A. C. together with the Granger A. C. et al, captured the majority of prizes offered by the Entre Nous Lyceum at Willard Park last Saturday afternoon. The best performance of the day was recorded by W. Randolph Granger the crack middle-distance tunner of Dartmouth College representing the Irish-American A. G., when he won the 1000-yard handicap, in open competition, from the scratch, in the fast time of 2 17 1 5. He defeated John Hopkins of the St. Bartholomew after catching him in the turn leading to the home stretch. Hopkins had a 45-yard handicap and was just strong enough to take second place from G. Y. Granger, brother of the winner who had a 27-yard handicap. A. D. Pendleton of the Salem-Crescents beat a fast field in the 100-yard handicap with a mark of 5 yards in the fast time of 10 1-5. James Ravenell of the St. Christopher's was second with a mark of 1 yard, while B. T. Harvey of the same club took third, having a mark of 5 1-2 yards. Herman Foster also of the Salem-Crescents was too fast for the big field in the 300-yard handicap and won handily from a mark of 6 and one-half yards in fine time. Oscar Hawkins another Salem-Crescent was second, while B. T. Harvey, of St. Christopher took third. W. R. Granger, Jr., of the Irish American A. C. made a valiant but futile effort to defeat a field of 50 athletes in the 1,000-yard handicap run at the annual games of the Local 20, International Steam and Operating Engineers at Celtic Park, N. Y. last Sunday. Granger, who started from scratch with Willie Gordon of the N. Y. A. C. was buffeted about by the big field but managed to finish second, two yards behind R. McLoughlin of the Holy Cross, who had the liberal handicap of 60 yards. Peter J. White, of the Salem Crescents furnished a thrill for the great crowd in the 220-yard handicap, which he won in great fashion by four inches, after being in fifth position less than 10 yards from the finish. Ralph V. Cook, veteran tennis player of this city holding second position in the list of registered players here, was defeated at Drudu Hill Park last Saturday at the hands of F. N. Cardoza, the scrappy little player, who promises to make Winfort Braxton, the present city champion, work hard to retain his laurels. Cardoza's shoots proved to be too much for the veteran to handle and he was beaten in three straight sets 6-4, 6-4, 6-4. Only the Saturday previous Cardoza defeated Reckling for third place. During the week also, John Wheeler defeated William Weaver 6-4, 6-4. Wm. H. Wright easily defended L. G. Hubert and "Doc" McCard defeated Carl Murphy 6-0, 1-6, 6-4. Murphy's erratic playing was the cause of his downfall, while Hubert did not prove himself to be in the Medicó's class, and Weaver was compelled to bow to the superior playing of Wheeler. The Baltimore Tennis Club, composed of Messrs. Winfort Braxton, Ralph V. Cook, captain; F. N. Cardosz, Ralph Reckling, B. M. Rhetta, H. S. McCard and Carl J. Murphy will meet the tennis club of Washington at Druid Hill Park this afternoon in six sets of singles and three double matches. The matches promise to be fast and interesting and will begin promptly at 1 o'clock. --- Rev. S. S. Crockett, of Morrisitown, N. J., was a caller at the office of the Afro-American Ledger Wednesday.

Please help liberally THE COLONEL DOWN IN TEXAS To Be Called. Terrell, Texas—Death is taking men and women away in large numbers, and the great question in each one's mind, today is who'll be the next? I tell you we should all be ready and willing to go when death puts in its claim upon us, and if we are not then it will be our fault and no one's else. The news reached me the other day that Rev. S. M. Wesley is no more, that he has been called away to his long eternal rest. S. M. Wesley was one of the best men I have ever known. He was a graduate from the Arkansas Baptist College, and for a long time was the business manager of the Vanguard, the organ of the Baptists of Arkansas. It was in this position that he was working at the time he was called away. It will take the Baptist a long time to find a man who can fill his place. He was one of the greatest newspaper men in the country. God bless and keep him. Judge M. W. Gibbs, who was another one of our great men has gone also. He was a man who served the race when it needed some one to serve it, not saying that we do not need one or more now. He belonged to the old school of leaders, and was as honest as the days are long. But he has paid the debt we all must pay. Then Rev. Leake, of this state, has gone also. There was not much said about it when he left here, but he has done his work. African Methodism in Texas owes much to him. He has passed through much for his church. One time he fell in the hands of some rough white men, who declared that they were going to kill him, and told him to pray. He fell upon his knees and told the Lord that he was coming home, and that he did not mind coming home, but then he wanted the Lord to have mercy upon the young white men, those who were about to take his life. "Lord they are young, and have families, and they too may some day die. It matters not about me, but then their families, their nice little children will be cursed with this blood of mine." When he had finished his prayer every white man had disappeared. Information comes to me that when, Rev. J. P. Robinson went home one day from a hard days work visiting his people, his wife had moved way, leaving his house naked and bare. She was tired of being his wife, and just moved into some of his other houses. We all know Dr. Robinson, and regret this. He is a good man and a true husband. But the bird has gone to another cage. She is alone. When I took my pen in hands to write to you the last time I was in Jacksonville, Fla., and I remained there over Sunday and had charge of the Ebenezer M. E. Church pulpit for the day. Dr. M. C. B. Mason, one of our strong men and the able and efficient pastor was away. He is in Baltimore very sick. His people heard me twice on Sunday and in the afternoon, I spoke at Bethel Baptist Institutional Church to a house full of women. They were there and listened to me. It was a meeting for women only and I have an invitation to return another year and think I will do so. Sunday afternoon I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. P. M. H. Stafford, the dentist and his wife. He has moved to Jacksonville and is doing well already. It was nice to get to see an old friend in this part of the country, and I took pleasure in shaking his hands and seeing him for a little while. It is nice to see our people who are making headway. Bright and early Monday morning I was headed for Talahassee to see the summer school there. Prof. N. B. Young, who is president of the school was away, but I found a real live summer school there. They had teachers from all parts of the state who were getting bright in the latest things about teaching business. After looking at these teachers and making a few remarks to them I was ready to leave. Mrs. Young was very cordial in her reception and furnished me with all the figs I could eat and then had prepared for me a real live lunch to eat as I took the next long trip. It was about midnight when I left Talahassee, and on that wagon, I found Rev. J. E. Ford, B. D., pastor of that Bethel Church I was talking to you about. He was THE FIREHOUSE headed for California. I found pleasure in taking up with him, and we had a long ride together and we enjoyed it so very much. It was a long ride with Dr. Ford. for we went from there to New Orleans together spending only a few hour in Pensacola. They were happy hours and we enjoyed them. Wew ent to call on Mr. and Mrs. S. Charles. This is the man who has made his fortune on solos. He is one of the best shoe menders in the south, and then he has two of the largest shoe stores in this section of the country. He was sick in bed, but was delighted to see us. BERKLEY NOTE Berkley, Md. July 28.—Hosanna camp was largely attended Sunday.

Hyde Tells Thrilling Story of How Officers and Men of Famous Regiment Kept Together Under the Most Adverse Circumstances State Comes to Their Rescue. Chicago.-Henry M. Hyde gives the following account of the struggles and achievements of the Eighth Illinois regiment in war and in peace and its efforts to secure an armory: The transport sailed from Tampa with 1,500 men of the regiment on board. Peace with Spain had not been declared. They looked forward to a taste of fighting with the dons. Off Santiago they learned that the war was over. Too late for any chance of glory, plenty of hard work remained. For eight months they built roads and telegraph lines, cleaned streets, did all manner of hard and dirty jobs. The old Spanish town and the country round about got the first thorough cleaning in their history. When the boys got back home their old rented armory had been sold. An ancient livery stable was the best quarters they could get. Up in the loft they stored part of their equipment and supplies. Down on the barn floor they drilled night after night. Privates who had driven coal wagons or handled shovels all day came in two nights a week to the livery barn and drilled from 8 o'clock to 10:30. Commissioned and noncommissioned officers spent more time on their paper work and studies, turning old box stalls into company rooms and offices, doing their best to keep the standard of the regiment among the highest. Apparently they succeeded. Officers of the regular army sent to inspect it reported year after year that the six companies located in Chicago ranked as high as any militia organization in the state in soldiery efficiency. More than ten years in the old barn! Then it was sold, and the best the regiment could do was to move away and hunt up another. The second old livery stable was in worse condition than the first. But the men and officers stuck to their work. In 1914 they got an appropriation from the legislature of Illinois to build a real armory—their first. Some of the officers had gone out and begged enough money to buy a site. When they got it paid for certain residents in the neighborhood made up their minds that an armory would be a nuisance. They brought pressure to bear, and the regiment had to sell the site. They bought a second site, and a second time plans were made for the building. A second time people in the neighborhood raised an awful row. They couldn't think of allowing a lot of rough soldiers to drill in their vicinity. A third time a site was purchased. This time the contracts were let, and the work of putting up the building began promptly. Last winter, when the shell was under cover and the regiment found it would have to move into the uncompleted building or else into the street, the discovery was made that no arrangements had been made to heat or light the armory and that no money remained with which to pay for the work. The colonel of the regiment came to the front for it. He signed notes for $8,000, and the boilers and lights were put in. But meanwhile the regiment—or that part of it located in Chicago—had increased in size. Two down state companies were mustered out of the service. Units to take their places were recruited in Chicago. Room had to be made for eight companies of the line, in addition to the headquarters company, the hospital corps, the machine gun company, the drum and life corps, the supply company and the band—800 men in all. The legislature which recently adjourned passed a bill appropriating the money to finish the job. Just as soon as it is signed by Governor Dunne, probably within the next few days, work will be begun and rushed to a finish. In October, 1914, when the corner stone was laid, Governor Dunne was one of the orators. He said that the diligence and patience shown by the regiment in drill and rife practice under the most adverse conditions conceivable and without any hope of financial reward deserved recognition and that he was glad that it was getting it during his administration. The Eighth Illinois is made up entirely of colored troops. Eight of the twelve line companies and all the special corps are located in Chicago. The new and unfinished armory stands at Forest avenue and Thirty-fifth street. Colonel F. A. Denison is the commanding officer who signed the note for $8,000 which made it possible to put in the heating plant and electric lights. Coloredco Pythians Meet in Denver.

D., minister at the Institutional A. M. E. church, Chicago, for years a stanch friend of Mayor William Hale Thompson, has been appointed chief of a special investigation bureau in the office of the corporation counsel. He will have six assistants. The salary of the chief will be $2,400 per annum. The appointment was made by instructions from Mayor Thompson, who wished Dr. Carey to have a place which he could hold without interfering with his church duties. Dr. Carey is one of the most prominent ministers of the A. M. E. connection and has been remarkably successful as the minister and warden of the institutional church, and it is likely that he will be elected bishop at the next quadrennial conference. He is known as the militant pastor. He is a man of great eloquence and moral courage. He has won fame for himself in fighting segregation in every form. In a recent public speech Mayor Thompson said: "Dr. Carey is one of my best friends, and the principal reason that I admire him is the fact that he is fearless in his fight against injustice. He never condones wrongs against the colored people, as many so called leaders have done. I admire the man who fears not to stand for the right." The Rev. Dr. Carey is a member of the Illinois commission for the coming Lincoln Jubilee and half century celebration, which opens in Chicago on Sunday, Aug. 22, with a great religious congress. He is also interested in many other good movements for the advancement of the race. SUCCESS OF DR. S. A. MOSES. High Street Baptist Church at Danville, Va., Has Zealous Minister. Danville, Va.-One of the most active workers in the state of Virginia and one of the leading ministers is the Rev. S. A. Moses, pastor of the High Street Baptist church in this city and vice president of the Baptist state convention. He has earned his place by hard work and study and is in a position to extend sympathy to the young people struggling to get a foothold in this country or in any part of the world. The Rev. Mr. Moses is yet a young man. He was born March 17, 1877, on a farm in Charlotte county, Va. His parents, Jefferson and Jane Moses, were not overladen with this world's goods, so that it is needless to say that young Moses' opportunity for getting an education was meager and limited. A. B. S. A. MOSES, D. D. Such schools as were opened in that section of the country the little fellow attended. He had been in the world just twenty years when he entered the Virginia Theological seminary and college under the late Professor G. W. Hayes. He stuck to it and finished the academic course and later the college course, coming out in 1904. He was then prepared for work. His first work was as superintendent of missions for the Virginia Baptist state convention, and for this he received a salary of $100 a month. Two years were spent in this position. At the close of his work he accepted a call to the First Baptist church of Harrisonburg, Va., where he put in some of his best work, making friends and at the same time adding many to the church. Dr. Moses remained in this charge for six years. While in Harrisburg he made himself useful in the affairs of the state, demonstrating his ability as a great orator and preacher. A number of calls were extended him during the stay, but he remained there until he had accomplished something for the people and the church. It was in 1912 that he heard the call from the High Street Baptist church, in this city, and after prayerful consideration accepted it.

Magnitude of the Achievements of Great Religious Corporation Seen In Its Churches, Institutions of Learning, Financial and Splendid Publishing Concerns. Philadelphia.—In this city in May, 1910, will be held the one hundredth anniversary of the founding of the African Methodist Episcopal church. The local committee met the second week in July and formulated its plans. Rev. C. C. Dunlap, pastor of Bethel A. M. E. church, is the chairman of the local committee. Various committees were appointed. The committee on publicity is headed by Dr. R. R. Wright, Jr. editor of the Christian Recorder. There are a committee on homes, a committee on entertainment, a committee on public worship and others for other important matters. The African Methodist Episcopal church was started in Philadelphia in 1757, when Richard Allen, who was a local preacher in the Methodist Episcopal church, led a number of Negroes from St. George's Methodist Episcopal church into an independent church called Bethel. In 1794 was [Name] REV. C. C. DUNLAP, D. D. purchased an old blacksmith shop, which was moved from Fourth and Spruce streets upon the lot at Sixth street and Pine. This property has been in their possession ever since. It is now improved and valued at $125,000. Recently two three-story flats have been built upon a part of the property south of the church, which are valued at $15,000 each. This piece of property is the oldest property owned by any Negro organization in the United States. Independent churches started by members of the race in various parts of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Baltimore grew steadily, and in 1816 there were enough to form a denominational organization. They met in April, 1816, in this city and called themselves the African Methodist Episcopal church. The leader was Richard Allen, who had alreadyained considerable reputation for his energy, thrift and integrity during the plague of yellow fever which raged in Philadelphia in 1793, when Governor Clarkson made a public statement of thanks to Richard Allen for his services in this epidemic. Richard Allen was made first bishop of the A. M. E. church. Since that time there have been forty bishops elected. The church has grown from a few members in Philadelphia to nearly a million members, scattered in every state of the United States, in West Africa, South Africa, South America, Canada and other parts of the world. The ministry has increased from the first, who was Richard Allen, to 7,000, representing among them some of the most cultured men of the colored race. The church has been a pioneer in the uplift of the race in many lines. Long before the emancipation of the Negro it started an institution at Wilberforce, O., for the higher education of the Negro. This institution now has property valued at $750,000 and is rated as one of the leading educational institutions among Negroes in America. Besides this institution, there are colleges and academies throughout the south. Soon after the war the missionaries of this church were sent south to bring the colored people into the organization. In South Carolina, in the early eighties. Allen university was started and is now in a flourishing condition. About the same time Morris Brown university was started in Atlanta, Ga., and since that time there have been established Edward Waters college in Jacksonville, Fla.; Kittrell college, in North Carolina; Wayman institute, in Kentucky; Turner Normal and Industrial school, in Tennessee; Payne university, in Alabama; Lampton college, in Louisiana; Campbell college, in Mississippi; Paul Quinn college, in Texas; Shoreer college in Arkansas Western university.

Before the civil war the oldest Negro newspaper now in existence was established by this church in the state of Pennsylvania. In 1818 a magazine was started in Pittsburgh, and in 1822 the Christian Recorder was started in Philadelphia. This newspaper is now the only newspaper existing among Negroes which was started before the civil war. Among the men who have been its editors are Bishop B. T. Tanner, now retired, the oldest of the bishops of the A. M. E. church; Bishop B. F. Lee, senior active bishop of the A. M. E. church. This periodical is circulated not only in the United States, but in South America and Africa as well. Besides this paper there are five other periodicals which are controlled by the church. The Southern Christian Recorder, published in Columbus, Ga.; the Western Christian Recorder, at Kansas City, Mo.; the A. M. E. Review, in Philadelphia; the Voice of Missions in New York, and the Woman's Christian Recorder, in Nashville, Tenn. The financial system of the church is based upon the payment of $1 per year from each member, which is called "dollar money" and is divided so as to furnish salaries of the bishops and most of the general officers of the church and a pension fund for widows and orphans and retired preachers. It furnishes also a part of the missionary fund and the educational fund. The headquarters are located in Washington. The publication department is located in Philadelphia and was incorporated in 1855. In 1882 the Sunday school department was set apart. These two departments publish the literature used by the church, which is not only printed, but is written by members of the church. The Sunday School union at Nashville is said to be the finest publishing house in the world owned by Negroes. The bishop of this district, the Right Rev. Evans Tyree, M. D. D. D., is sparing no palms toward arrangements to make the celebration of the centennial anniversary one of the greatest in the history of the colored race. There will be about 100 delegates, of whom forty will come from Africa and South America and from many other foreign parts. Among them will be two former Philadelphia pastors who have been elected bishops to foreign points, Bishop J. Albert Johnson, bishop of South Africa, and Bishop William H. Heard, bishop of West Africa. How few sufferers from Chronic Diseases realize that the old means and methods for treating Chronic Diseases have passed entirely out of existence. Almost eighty per cent. of such sufferers still adhere to the old remedies and old methods of treatment which never did and never will cure Chronic Diseases. The method of today for the treatment of Chronic Diseases has been improved just as every other branch of industry has advanced. Chronic sufferers have either come to the conclusion that there is no cure for them or else they are dragging along, using all sorts of nauseating remedies and worthless mixtures with the hope that they may gain from them some little relief. It is from this class of sufferers that THE BALTIMORE SPECIALIST'S Method of treating Nervous and Chronic Diseases claim attention.
