--- PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY CHICAGO TO HAVE FINE APARTMENTS Julius Rosenwald Backing Big Project To Erect Modern Apartment for Colored Residents Chicago, Ill. Jun. 1.—Plans have been recently completed for one of the finest ad most modern apartment houses in the city. It is to be ready for occupancy May 1st. Julius Rosenwald, who has given $500,000 for Y. M. C. A. buildings and rural schools for colored people, is back of the project financially. It is in the way of an experiment, but those who enthusiastically prophesy its success declare that it will be the forerunner of others of the same type in different parts of the the city. The northeast corner of Vernon avenue and East street adjoining the Biodes avenue hospital, has been secured for the site. Plans for the building drawn by Zimmerman, Saxe and Zimmerman, are now in the hands of Whiteisle & Wentworth, who will handle the property. It is to be of the English basement type with three floors of apartments, making it a four-suite structure. It will contain sixy apartments, each having two or three rooms and bath. The building will have in own refrigerating system connecting with each apartment. It also will have an incinerator system connecting with each apartment, steam heat, hot and cold water, basement laundries and janitor service. The outside will be finished in dark red. Along Vernon avenue will be a fifteen foot width of lawn and terrace. On the 32nd street side will be a garden court and fountain on which many of the apartments will face. Rents will be from $18 to $38 per month. The investment is expected to be slightly more than $125,000 and a return of at least 5 per cent on the investment is expected. Each floor will be the same in arrangement. The thirty-six small flats are each to have a 12x14 living room, with an in-a-door bed and closet, an 8x14 kitchen and a separate bathroom. The twenty-four larger flats are to have chambers 12x15 foot with in-a-door beds and closets, living rooms 12x14 with in-a-door beds, 8x14 porches from one room and a balcony from the other and the same size kitchen and lath room as the other flats. Considerable investigating was done before this innovation in the building line was decided on. Dr. George C Hall, chairman of the Executive Committee of the Walsh Avenue Y. M. C. A. and A. L. Jackson, secretary, made a trip to Cincinnati, where J. C. Schmidtapp has invested $500,000 in model buildings for colored tenants. The Chicago structure will surpass any of the Cincinnati buildings. Emancipation Celebration at John Wesley The annual celebration of the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation was held at John Wesley M. E. Church Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights of this week. Large audiences greeted the speakers at each of the meetings, and they were pronounced the most successful yet held at the church. The principal speaker at the first meeting was Dr. W. A. C. Hughes, of Washington, district superintendent of the Washington Conference M. E. Church; who told of the achievements of the race in the past. On Tuesday evening, Senator-elect Joseph I. France and Dr. P. O'Connell, Mason A. Hawkins, principal of the High School, and Superintendent Koch were the speakers on Wednesday while on Thursday States Attorney William F. Browning and William F. Stone delivered addresses. The lecture room of the church was filled with exhibits of a varied character, representing every stage in the progress of the race. There was also a large exhibit from the Colored High School showing specimens of work from both the manual training and academic branches. Music during the week was furnished by the choir and junior choir of the church, accompanied by the Female Orchestra. Dr. Ernest Lyon is pastor of the church. 54 LYNCHINGS IN 1916: Tuskegee, Ala., Jan. 1.—Fifty-four persons were lynched in the United States during 1916, according to records of Tuskegee Institute here, made public today. Fifty of the victims were Negroes and four whites. Included are three Negro women. Sixty-seven persons were lynched in 1916, thirteen of whom were white men. In presenting the report Robert R. Moton, president of the institute, said: Fourteen, or more than one-fourth of the total lynchings, occurred in the State of Georgia. Of those put to death, forty-two, or seventy-seven percent of the total, were charged with offenses other than assault." M. H. H. ANNUAL MEETING OF N. A. A. C. P. DuBois Absent On Account of Illness—Dr. F. N. Cardozo of Baltimore Reelected to Directorship New York, January 2.—By far the most striking achievement of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, during the year 1916, has been to make lynching assume the proportions, in the public mind, of a national problem, according to Dr. Joel B. Springgain, in his report as chairman of the board of directors at the annual meeting of the Association held Tuesday afternoon in the Assembly Hall of the United Charities Building, 105 East 22d street. "Lynching has been injected into the national consciousness," he said, "even in the midst of world war, Mexico, and a Presidential election; and we enter 1917 equipped to carry on the fight with more vigor than ever was possible before." Four notable investigations had been conducted, he said; that of the lynchings and terrorism which drove 2,500 colored men, women, and children out of Dawson and Forsyth Counties, Ga., "an American pogrom," of which the Cherokee fires were but the aftermath; that of the "Waco Horror," when on May 8 Jesse Washington was burned alive in the public samarro at Waco, Tex., with 15,000 people looking on; that of the lynching of two women and three men near Gainesville, Fla., for aiding Eobsey Long, accused of hog stealing, to escape; and that of the Abbeville, S. C., lynching last autumn. These investigations were made possible by the raising of a fund of $10,000 to which both races contributed in about equal measure. At the afternoon session the follow-were elected members of the board of directors for the term expiring January, 1920: Jane Addams, Chicago; Dr. C. E. Bentley, Chicago; the Rev. Hutchins C. Bishop, New York; Dr. F. N. Curdzoo, Baltimore; Dr. W. E. D.Buoles, New York; Mrs. Florence Kelley, New York; Mary White Owington, Brooklyn; Charles Edward Russell, Washington; Dr. John G. Underhill, Brooklyn, and Irene Lewisohn, of New York. The evening session which was held in St. Phillips Episcopal Church, Rev. Hutchins Bishop, pastor. The meeting was devoted to discussions of the problems of the branch association and reports of their representatives. Archibald H. Crimek, of Washington, presided. Addresses were delivered by Butler R. Wilson, of Boston; Mrs. Della H. Fields, of Toledo, Ohio; Joseph Prine Loud, of Boston; Mrs. Elizabeth R. Lighey, of Garey, Ind. Rev. R. G. Waters, of Orange, N. J.; Dr. G. J. Sykes, of Wilmington, Del.; Isadora Martin, of Philadelphia, V. B. Powell, of Newark; George W. Lattimore, of the local branch; William Miner, of Washington, and others. James Weldon Johnson, the recently elected Field Secretary of the Association, was also among the speakers. Expressions of regret were heard on all sides at the absence of Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, editor of the Crisis, who is lying ill at the St. Luke Hospital, having recently undergone a serious oper.

ST. LOUIS Y. M. C. A. GETS SITE St. Louis, Mo., January 4.—The site for the new colored branch of the Y. M. C. A. of this city, for which the colored people here subscribed over $60,000 a year ago, has been secured in one of the best sections of the city on a lot 130x131 feet at a cost of $13,000, purchased out of the funds collected by the colored subscribers to the fund. Within a few blocks of the site are ten of the largest colored churches of the city, half dozen large fraternal halls, and the best business houses among colored people in the city. Weather permitting work will begin on the new building in early spring. The building was made possible by the gift of $25,000 from Julius Rosenwald of Chicago, and $75,000 from the local white Y. M.

WILL CELEBRATE DOUGLASS' BIRTH WILL CELEBRATE DOUGLASS' BIRTH Committee of Prominent Citizens Will Fittingly Commemorate Birth of Famous Marylander That some steps should be taken looking toward the proper celebration of the onchundreth anniversary of the birth of Frederick Douglass was the concensus of opinion of a number of prominent citizens who gathered in the editorial rooms of the Atro-American Thursday afternoon. The meeting was the result of invitations that had been issued to a number of citizens in the city to come together and arrange for a proper celebration of the event. Owing to the illness of J. H. Murphy, who issued the invitations he was unable to be present. Following a general discussion in which suggestions were made as to the proper way to organize for a city-wide celebration, it was finally decided that the matter of arranging for the affair would be left to a committee of fifty or more. The following is a partial list of those who will be asked to serve on the committee: Messrs. Howard E. Young William Bishop, Alfred Pitts, George A. Owens, William L. Gibson, John W. Rich, G. B. Murphy, Julius C. Johnson, Wm. C. McCard, Harry O. Wilson, Cornellus C. Fitzgerald, Hugh M. Burkett, Elmer Henderson, James W. Hughes, Charles Cary, Alexander Williams, Harry T.

PRICE THREE CENTS TESTIMONIAL TO REV. FR. UNCLES With a solemn high mass at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church this Sunday morning at 11 o'clock, a two-day celebration of the ordination of Rev. C. Randolph Uncles to the Catholic priesthood will begin. Father Uncles will be the celebrant, and Rev. Robert J. Carse, of Illinois, will be the deacon and Rev. Joseph Hanley, of Epiphany Apostolic College, will act as sub-deacon. Rev. Joseph F. Wareing will preach. It is expected that Bishop Corrigan will attend this service. Solemn vespers will be held at St. Barnabas Catholic Church, Biddle street and Argyle avenue, in the evening. Father Uncles will be the celebrant, Rev. L. B. Pastorelle will act as deacon and Rev. Joseph Cooker will be sub-deacon. Cardinal Gibbons has promised to attend this service. A big celebration, in which all denominations are interested, will take place at St. Peter Clavier's Hall, Carey and Pressman streets, this Monday night. Among those on the program to speak are: Rev. James J. Nally, Clarke L. Smith, Thomas Johnson and William C. McCard. The Musical Art Club, Prof. L. E. Toomey, director, and the Lyric Quartette, will render special music. The quartette is composed of Mrs. Anna Hazelton Lee, soprano; Mrs. Theresa Stewart, alto; Maurice Butler, tenor; Nelson Tunstall, baritone, and Prof. H. Y. Johnson, accompanist. A collation will follow: The arrangements are in the hands of a committee headed by C. Marcellus Dorsey, who will preside at the Monday evening service, and of which Royal G. Addison is secretary. Mr. Dorsey, who is a brother of Father J. Henry Dorsey, and his assistants on the committee, have been active in the effort to have colored men prepare for the Catholic priesthood. The committee hopes to present a purse of at least $500 to Father Dorsey as a testimonial for his services to the church and its educational interests. Father Uncles is a native of this city. Before deciding to prepare for the priesthood, he taught school in Baltimore. He entered St. Hyacinth's College, in Canada, where he was graduated, and studied for the priesthood at St. Joseph's Seminary, this city. His ordination a quarter of a century ago was the first to take place in this country of a man of recognized Negro ancestry. For a number of years he has taught at Epiphany Apostolic College, where young men intending to enter the priesthood through the Josephite Order, receive their training in philosophical subjects and the languages. He is popular and unassuming, and one of his greatest joys has been in looking after his aged mother. Colonial Theater Closes Its Doors When the usual advertisement of the coming show for the Colonial Theatre failed to appear in the Afro-American of last week, and no bills were posted in the various sections of the city the rumors that were in the air of the closing of the theatre were aggravated, and finally confirmed when the doors of the Eutaw street playhouse failed to open for the regular Monday matheme. Many reasons were then advanced by the "wise ones" why the theatre was forced to close its doors, but no authentic statement has been issued by the management as to the "whys and wherefores" of the sudden stop to its plays, and no definite information is yet available on the question. It is understood however, that all possible pressure is being brought to bear to have the house reopened within a short time, and if it does, the strongest plays at the command of the promoters will be immediately put on the boards. The fact that such a thing could not have been prevented is the cause of much regret among the hundreds of patrons who had been regular in their attendance at the theatre since its advent into this city, as well as among the occasional "droppers in," who appreciated the efforts of the Quality Amusement Company to give to this city first class musical comedies and dramas acted by colored artists. Coming at a time when the "Colonial Habit" had just commenced to imbed itself into the theatre-going public, the closing is indeed unfortunate and regrettable, but we can at least have the satisfaction of knowing that if there is any way possible under the sun, for the theatre to be reopened the management will se to it that the necessary steps are taken. If we knew which one was the last we would hardly go to any. "Have you ever thought of your last prayer meeting on earth." From "Church news" in "Kentucky Torchlight." NEWSIES AT ANNUAL TREAT It was a jolly set of boys and girls who were the guests of the Afro-American on New Year's day. The occasion was the annual treat given by the Company to the little newspaper vendors and nearly fifty of them gathered at the hall on the third floor of the Afro-American Building, listened to short, snappy addresses, sang songs and covered the floor with a three inch coat of peanut shells, paper bags, ice cream plates, and otherwise had a great big time. After the treat the kids were the guests of the Afro-American at several of the movie theatres. Editor J. H. Murphy, though suffering from a heavy cold and against the advice of his physician, could not forgo the pleasure of being with the youngsters on their annual event. He has always taken a deep interest in the boys and girls who sell the paper, and although they have often caused him endless worry because of their tendency to get into all sorts of trouble, he is never happier than when he is with them. Rev. Charles E. Stewart, pastor of Ebenezer A. M. E. Church delivered the principal speech of the afternoon. Comparing the game of business and life to the game of baseball and football, he urged the boys and girls to play as hard as they could, but always to play fair. He warned them against cheating and unfair methods of competition, saying a temporary gain by the use of these methods would always bring disaster in the end. The children listened attentively to Dr. Stewart and he received a round of applause as he concluded. Mr. Arnett Murphy was heartily applauded when he said that the announcement would appear this week T. REV. CHARLES E. STEWART as to the winner of the prize to the girl selling the largest number of papers. The prize is $5 and was offered by Mr. C. Henry Jenkins a year ago. The boy selling the largest number of papers is to receive $2.50, which was offered by General Secretary Booker, of the Young Men's Christian Association. He also said that a number of children had won the coveted bit of pasteboard during the past summer which entitled them to free passage to Brown's Grove on the Steamer Starlight. This was made possible through the generosity of Captain George W. Brown. Mr. Murphy said he was almost certain that if the boys and girls showed any "class" this year Captain Brown might be prevailed upon to renew the offer this year. He said that Mr. Jenkins, Mr. Brown and Secretary Booker were public spirted men who were anxious that the boys and girls develop along the lines of business, and that the prizes were offered as an incentive to competition among them. Other short talks were made by G. B. Murphy and D. H. Murphy. One of the Newsies, Arthur Holland recited one of Dunbar's poems. Then cange the good things. Each boy and girl was given a bag filled with candy, peanuts, apples and oranges, to say nothing of the great big saucers of ice cream, which they consumed with surprising alterity. And before they went home each was given a ticket of admission to any of the moving picture parlor in the city. Misses Mabel Bourne and F. L. Murphy directed the singing, while Miss Edna Johnson, Messrs. Percy T. Borron, S. D. Hayward, F. F. Johnson, J. H. Murphy, Jr., and Master Arthur Hardy busied themselves seeing to it that everybody had a good time. A SUCCESSFUL ENTERTAINMENT Lorley, Md., Jan. 4.—The. Young Folk's Auxiliary of Bursary M. E. Church gave their Christmas entertainment which was largely attended. The shepherds turned out in large numbers and followed the star to the manger and gave Mary their offerings. Recitations and solos were rendered. A handsome tree was the feature of the evening and filled the children's delight. Santa Claus appeared with vigor and smiles and filled their little rames with toys. He also made a speech which made a happy Christmas to all present. We thank all friends and Willing Workers of the Auxiliary who made the evening a success. This church has been dark and silent for years on Christmas Eve, but through the hard work of Mrs. L. J. Jones and company, it was lite and bright. Every day the workers and speed the auxiliary on its way. Mrs. L. J. Jones in charge. Mrs. Mary Proctor, planist; Lewis Gwynn, helper; Dr. Solomon H.

Cardozo as a member of the Board of Directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is a cause for much satisfaction by the citizens of this city. His work while president of the local branch of the Association was of the unsellish character that is necessary to make endeavors of this kind a success. Lynching statistics compiled by the Tuskegee Institute, Tuskegee, Ala., accompanied by a statement from Principal Moton, show that 54 persons were lynched in the United States during 1916. Since sixty seven persons were lynched in 1915, it would appear that mob violence in the South in on the decrease. WHITE EMIGRATION If the Canadians themselves are to be believed, one emigration that the war has not stopped is that of the white American into Canada. According to a news dispatch, 120,000 cross the line every year into the Dominion carrying with them an estimated wealth of $120,000,000. Canada less sparsely settled than the United States is doing everything it can to encourage the coming of these Americans. Just what the loss means to this country in the future, even the above figures can not give an accurate idea. An American resident of the Dominion of Canada, who deprecates the migrations of his countrymen in such large numbers, has the following to say: "If instead of going North to Canada, Americans who want to make a change would go into the South, they would be far better off. It is a mistake that the South is an uncomfortable place to live in in the surer time. One can enjoy more physical comforts in the South the entire year than in any other part of the country under conditions of health certainly as good as in any other." While it might appear temerity on the part of the Afro-American to answer for the thousands of whites why they prefer Canada to the South, nevertheless it does make note of the fact that there are other folks besides the Negro who prefer some other place to the South. Perhaps the South has large agricultural and health advantages. It does appear that some people are willing to put up with a medium of agriculture and health in order to enjoy other things that our own Southland knows not of, for example, progressive community spirit, and ideals of toleration and common justice. A NEW X. M. C. A. During the campaign to secure pledges for a $100,000 Young Mon's Christian Association in this city, International Secretary W. E. Moorland, who was conducting the campaign, made the following significant remarks: "The colored people of Baltimore will have a new building as soon as they decide that they are going to have it." Out of his wealth of experience in conducting similar campaigns, and in the collection of pledges after they had been made, he spoke with authority. He knew that in the last analysis, the success of a project of this kind would depend almost wholly upon the people who would benefit by it. There were three parties to the agreement for a new building here: Julius Rosenwald, of Chicago, the white Y. M. C. A. of Baltimore and the colored citizens of Baltimore. Only this week comes the announcement that the white people have kept their part of the agreement by raising the $50,000, which means that all of the obligations have been kept with the exception of the one made by the colored people. There still remains about $10,000 in pledges to be paid by the colored citizens, and until this is paid, the responsibility for not having a building will certainly not rest upon Mr. Rosenwald or the Y. M. C. A. Dr. Moorland was a wise prophet. DEAN PICKENS' NEW BOOK "No man can serve two masters" said a Hebrew wise man, but evidently Hugh Auld had no knowledge of this wisdom for he hired Frederick Douglass out as a helper to the carpenters in a Baltimore shipyard, back in the thirties of the last century, and the great man, who was to become the greatest of his day, served as helper not to one carpenter, but to all of the seventy-five. "All had an equal claim to his time and obedience. He had seventy-five masters, when as he suggests, one was bad enough. He was to answer the beck and call of each one, even if they all beckoned and called at the same time. He tells how, as a bewildered boy he received impossible and simultaneous orders from these hard men: 'Fred come help me count this timber here.'— 'Fred come carry this timber yonder.'— 'Fred bring that roller here.'— 'Fred go get a can of fresh water.'— 'Fred come help saw off the end of this timber.'— 'Fred go quick and get the crowbar.'— 'Fred hold on the end of this fall.'— 'Fred go to the blacksmith's shop and get a new punch.'— 'Haloo, Fred run and bring me a cold chisel.'— 'I say, Fred, bear a hand and get up fire under the steam box as quick as lightening.'— 'Hullo, nigger, come turn this grindstone.'— 'Come, come; move, move! and browse this timber forward.'— 'I say, darkky, blast your eyes! why don't you heat up some pitch?'— 'Haloo, Halloo, halloo, (three voices at the same time) 'Come here; go there; hold on where you are. D. in you, if you move I'll knock your brains out.'" These were the intolerant conditions in Baltimore which made Douglass resolve upon escape to the North, and when successful a bitter foe to the slave holder whether he lectured in America or abroad. It was from such beginnings as these that Frederick Douglass, whose one hundredth birthday anniversary will be celebrated next month, rose to the position of foremost abolitionist, member of the upper house of the legislature in the District of Columbia, Marshall and Recorder of Deeds to the District, Minister to Haiti and president of the Freedmen's Bank. Three of the chapters of Dean Picken's well written and well printed book, "The New Negro" are devoted to sketches to Frederick Douglass, Alexander Hamilton, and Abraham Lincoln, whom he terms a "Negro a near-Negro, and a white man," referring to the colored blood of Alexander Hamilton. More important and less interesting are the several chapters setting forth the views of the intelligent Negro of this generation upon the race question. There are chapters upon "Fifty Years after Emancipation." "Grounds of Hope," "Industry," "Education," "Lynching" and the "Ultimate Effects of Segregation." Therein he ot only takes the white man, North and South, to task, who little suspected, that "the ultimate test of both his government and his religion would lie in his relation to that silent, accommodating black man," but he urges his brethren in black to quit attempting to manage the white man as Brer Rabbit managed Brer Fox by his superior wits; indication, circumlocution and conning. "The greatest need in America today between white and black people is an era of frankness and honest expression of opinion." No clearer exposition of the thots and aspirations of the young colored man in this generation have been expressed than in Dean Picken's "The New Negro."

A WELL EXPLANATION OF LYNCHING W. E. Wimpy, writing in the Manufacturers' Record, Baltimore, says: Lynching in the South is a fact, not a theory. In your issue of August 24, I showed by statistics seventy-eight lynchings in nine and one-half months in the United States, and seventy-seven of them were in the South. This, I said, was caused by the multitude of county governments within the Southern states, and I stik to it. There is no land under Heaven where the officers swarm from so many hives as in the State of Georgia. A few days ago our newspapers were telling of a woman who went to intercede in a dispute between her son and an overseer; the man attacked the mother; the boy killed the overseer and fled. When he was captured he did not know the man was dead and that his mother had been lynched. The man who notices things and remembers them, will tell you that the majority of those lynched never see inside of a courthouse from the time the notion is taken to lynch until their eyes are closed in death on the tree. Now, I will give some figures that the doubting Thomases can look up. The six New England States have combined sixty-seven counties; Georgia has 152. The Middle States—New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware—have combined 153 counties; Georgia has 152. The four Middle States have a population of 19,521,214; Georgia has only 2,609,121. THE AFRO-AMERICAN population of 6,652,683; Georgia has only 2,609,121. The sixteen Southern States combined have 1,504 counties, which constitute an army that is controlled and presided over by sixteen state armies or state governments, besides a large army of politicians, and a still larger army of more respectable non-producing gentry, and there are two other large non-producing armies that are helping to keep the "dear peepul" away from the savings banks of the "dear Solid South." Not since one of the 1,504 little county or family governments has been born in the Southern states has papa or the state dared to invade or enter therein unless requested by her sheriff, not even when five were lynched on one tree, three men and two women, and one man shot for good measure, all on the same day. . . . It is unthinkable that the guarantee of our nation should be treated as a scrap of paper. With several hundred lynched since Mr. Wilson took the oath I mentioned above, I have yet to hear of him opening his mouth or raising a hand toward attempting to protect one life from being lynched. He could at least have written one "note." Duck and dodge the question as we may, Mr. Wilson has failed in this situation, and it is criminal to attempt to deny it. WITH THE EXCHANGES A bold robber in Chattanooga, Tenn., entered a white man's apartments and compelled the Negro janitor at the point of a pistol to tie the victim to a bed write the thief ransacked his pockets. He also relieved the janitor of his loose change. NOTHING, WE GUESS For Rent—or Sale—1207 Center St. will sell on payment. Apply M. Carr, Polk Bldg. Jackson, Miss.

The report of the Crisis was read at the afternoon meeting by Augustus Granville Dill, business manager. The resignation of Oswald Garrison Villard, as treasurer of the Association, following his resignation from the Crisis Board a few weeks ago called for many expressions of regret. Efforts on the part of a number of members of the Board of Directors to get Mr. Villard to reconsider his actions wore of no avail. He said, however, that he was willing to remain as one of the vice presidents of the Association. It is generally known that Mr. Villard's resignation was brought about because of a difference of views between himself and Dr. DuBois as to the general policy to be followed by the Crisis, the official organ of the Association. Dr. F. N. Cardozo, of Baltimore, the only representative on the Board from this city, was unanimously reelected, and he was the recipient of congratulations from many of the members present upon his reelection. 18-2. BALK-LINE BILLIARD MATCH INTER STATE CHAMPIONSHIP Colored professional billiard players will make their how for public approval in New York on January 8th, and 9th at St. Mark's Hall, West 138th street in game of 18-2, Balk-line billiards of 1000 points, 500 each night, or the first time in an authentic professional game, the stakes amounted to $200, and the entire gate receipts.

Mr. Haney, who is well known to all billiard fans of New York, up-to-date is without a peer in the game, having heretofore defeated with ease mighty Dosewell, (the Longshoreman) who for years was the New York champion. It is expected that in meeting Mr. Simms the Western champion will meet his first real opponent since coming back home from South America 18 months ago. WILL RENT FOR Ad in Iowa Bystander.

The furniture and fixtures, silverware, dishes, with all of the furnishings of the hotel were included in the purchase. Boosts & Knocks. The revival season in the churches comes as an appropriate climax to the Christmas festivities. It is certainly needed and should reap a wonderful harvest. The impression created by the players at the Colonial Theatre during the past few months was indeed favorable, and that they will be with us no more is indeed regrettable. The results of the effort in this city prove conclusively that a theatre for colored people with colored actors can be conducted with ease. We would not be expected that the Quality Amusement Corporation would be able to declare a 100 per cent dividend as a result of its two months' operations here. Slowly, but surely, the people of this city were beginning to appreciate the value of the actors each week the box office receipts were little better than the week preceding. There were a number of criticisms that could have been made, but because of the newness of the enterprise and our over-anxiety to see it succeed, no mention was made of them. We make them no what they may be guide position to the patron, to impart a similar venture: It is conceivable that it was impossible to find a colored man able to manage the theatre. Even as a figurehead he would have had a stimulating effect upon the patrons. The white manager has not as yet learned how to deal with his darker-hued men and his white men, whom you would not make for an acceleration of the office receipts. The Colonial was conspicuous by the absence of colored men in executive positions. There might also have been colored boys or girls to sell candy. Sure no extra amount of intelligence is needed to fill this position. The programs could have been colored—a colored concern—any of the five or six printing offices in the city. Anyhow, the stay of the Colonial players in the city will not be barren of results and barring the few harm-scaucum burlesques that occur in the city, a few weeks was of an educational value that cannot be overestimated. There are several ways of getting one's name in the newspapers. If you don't want to knock somebody down, you can beat your wife or have your wife beat you, or—you can die. Of course there are other ways such as performing some public service or attaining to some pronounced success in your particular line. Our good friend, Brother-W. Ashley 'Awkins, how ever, chose the surest way to come to the limelight. With characteristic verbose infelicity he warned the public at a meeting of the N. A. A. C. P. of the selfish motives of the colored newspaper men of Baltimore. Of course no one takes Brother 'Awkins seriously but to satisfy a cherished ambition to see THE name in print we hereby and herein take the pleasure of publishing the same—Brother W. Ashley 'Awkins, Esp No amount of mud, however, can so blur the vision of the intelligent people of this community that they will fall to see the virtue of the criticism made in these columns a few weeks ago. The prestige of the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in this city, which reached its axp during the encumebency of Dr. F. N. Cardozo as its president, has, in the past year, steadily gone down, and if something is not soon done to revive interest in the institution, it will be as dead as the Forum whose destinies were led from cradle to the grave by Honorable 'Awkins. Baltimore needs a local branch of this admirable institution, but in order that it might be a success and enlist the support of the entire people it will have to get at its head a character who will be so sincere in his efforts to help the whole people that his enthusiasm will begin enthusiasm and enlist support. TRINITY QUEENS' RALLY The Annual Queen's Rally of Trinity A. M. E. Church will be held on their regular date, Friday, February 3rd, at 8 P. M., under the auspices of the Minnie L.

We also take this means to inform the public that Trinity Church, under the auspices of the Circle mentioned above, assisted by our members and friends, was the first city in one night, and each has been a decided success. Last year we made such a fine report that the whole city is now allow with queens' rallies. Mrs. Martha Thompson, the president of the Circle, has the honor of conceiving the novel idea of the one-night rally. It is true that one of our popular churches has the first one in history it was held for one week each queen reigning but we held ours on the rapid transit plan. We feel proud to have set the pace of a plan that has met with a crowning success with all those who gave them. So we cordially invite you to come and help us on February 23, 1917. Probably you may catch more new ideas, as we need assistance from every side. Offers of the Circle are: Mrs. Martha Thompson, president; Mrs. Sarah Lewis, first vice president; Mrs. Laura Banks, second vice president; Mrs. Mamie Bruce, financial secretary; Mrs. Maggie Tucker, corresponding secretary; Mrs. Rachel Penaldo, chairman of executive board, and general secretary of rally. Rev. S. M. Johnson, pastor. TO HOLD QUEEN'S RALLY The members of the Day Ursery are preparing for a mnister Queen's Rally to take place the 15th of February at Sharp Street Memorial Church.

Holds Public Meeting The local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People held a meeting at the Metropolitan M. E. Church Monday afternoon. Prominent among the speakers were Dr. James H. L. Diggs, pastor of Trinity Baptist Church, Prof. Dwight O. W. Holmes, and Dr. H. W. Thomas, pastor of Metropolitan Metho dist Episcopal Church. Dr. Diggs declared that everything should be done to boost the work the National Association is doing. "Our people must be taught the meaning of the word liberty," Dr. Diggs went on to say. Every great movement begins with the thinking man, and has behind it some well trained man or woman who is well trained. Though Frederick Douglas never went to school, he was taught by a Harvard professor." The sneaker then urged that every manhood right be contended for and every discrimination fought, and he praised the local branch for its previous rights against discrimination. Prof. Holmes declared that the white South was engaged in a nation-wide propaganda to make the rest of the country believe that the Negro is inferior. He said that many colored people possessed what is termed the "Jim Crow" soul, and that they acted as if they were inferior to the whites. "I believe in every right for all races," he said, "and realize that in all times the oppressed had to wring concessions from the oppressor. The one instance where this rule did not prove true was intheCivil War, when the race secured its emancipation from bondage through the struggle between the North and the South" Rev. Thomas declared that one of the drawbacks to the racein this city was the refusal to follow leadership. He bespoke his interest in the aims and work of the association. Albany's Social Service Problems. Among the prominent white people who are co-operating in the movement recently granted in Albany, N. X., for the purpose of improving economic and social conditions among the colored people of Albany are Rev. Father Archambault, who represents Bishop Cusack and the Roman Catholic benevolences of the diocese; the Rev. Boelfl D. Brookes of St. Paul's Episcopal church, Imbiii Samuel H. Gobkerson of Temple Beth Emanuel, the Rev. W. H. Stubbline of the Sixth Presbyterian church and Alvin C. Quentel, commissioner of charities. --- James B. Clarke Goes to Rio Janeiro.

Clarke has given up his position as a teacher of Spanish in the high school to enter business as the representative of a United States commercial firm at Rio Janeiro.

While the baths could accommodate many, the figures are regarded as gratifying. It is hoped to make much better record in 1917. The laundry had the biggest record in its history during December, 1,254 women having availed themselves of the privilege to do their home laundering under ideal conditions. Some days as many as ninety women were there. The cost is merely nominal. There were 1,225 baths during the month, a substantial increase over the same month in December. Mr. William L. Butler, Jr., who succeeded Mr. Joseph L. Myers as superintendent, is elated over the fine showing that the laundry will increase and expresses the opinion that more males and females should patronize the baths. Mr. Thomas A. Date is his assistant. A matron has charge of the Women's department. A CHRISTENING PARTY Mr. and Mrs. David Waters, of 1306 Argley avenue, entertained quite a number of friends at the christening of two of their children, Jerome and Dorothy Waters Monday. Those present were Rev. Alfred Young, Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Thomas, of Conn.; Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, Mr. and Mrs. Tilghman, Mr. and Mrs. Chambers, Mrs. Jiggitts, Mrs. Brichus, Mr. and Mrs. John Cooper, Mrs. Matthews, Mr. Edward Wallace, Mr. and Mrs. James Lienne and Mr. John Cooper, Sr. CHRISTMAS ENTERTAINMENT Quite a bit of talent in dramatic art was displayed Friday afternoon, December 22, in the assembly room of the Colored Training School, Saratoga and Mount streets, when the junior B Class appeared in an original poetical play entitled "The World in America at Christmas Time." The room was tastefully decorated with evergreens, American flags and red and green crepe paper. To carry out the true spirit of Christmas, a beautiful spruce pine tree, laden with colored balls formed part of the decorations. The blackboards, which were artistically decorated with winter scenery, furnished a beautiful back ground. The play, under the skillful direction of Mr. Lewis H. Murray, an instructor in the school, was worked up by the class in connection with geography. The cast was well fitted to the roles and the players succeeded in maintaining the real interest of the audience up to the end. Those who took part in the play are as follows: Misses Constantia Wharton, Mary Williams, Blanche Moore, Mildred Miller, Vivian Hall, Marle Holt, Hattie Tilghman, Rachel Ross, Edna Hall, Emailine Wilson, Jennifer Widney, Hattie Phipper, Sertrude Finney, Elizabeth Ireland, Serita Whiting, Beatrice Young, Messrs. Charles Jones, Edga Thomas, Samuel Owings, Clarence Gross. Other members of the class who were not in the play, but who were instrumental in making it a success are, Misses Lucille Scott and Fannie Glascose, Messrs. Geo. Allen, and James Robinson. The music for the occasion was furnished by Mr. Lyston Taylor, who is also a member of the class. A NEW YEAR PARTY Mr. and Mrs. Randolph Burton entertained a few friends on New Year's day at their residence, 415 Tyson street. An elaborate dinner was served at 6.30 p. m. after which the evening was spent in vocal and instrumental music. Among those invited were: Mr. and Mrs. Eldridge Robinson, Mrs. Wm. Duncan, Mrs. Elizabeth Davis, Messrs. Collins Butler, Wm. C. Anderson, Wm. Gullis, Prof. Richard Washington, and Mr. Alphonzo Barbour, of Alexandria, Va. QUIETLY MARRIED The wedding of Miss Violletta Dodd to Mr. Louis Eugene Lowman, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Lowman, of Woodbine, Carroll county, Md., took place on Sunday, December 31, 1916, at 4 o'clock at the home of the bride's parents, 1519 Druid Hill avenue. The ceremony was performed by Rev. J. W. Sanders, pastor of Bethel A. M. E. Church. EMPLOYEES CELEBRATE Forgetful of all the cares of 1916, the employees of the Afro-American gathered at the home of Mr. Percy T. Borron, 732 Pierce street, Sunday night to watch 1916 give up the ghost and 1917 be ushered into the realm of time. While waiting for the old year to vanish they pledged interest in the work for making the Afro-American a better journal than ever is 1917. Just as the bells began to peal out the death of 1916 and the birth of 1917 and blank cartridges also announced the dual event, toasts were drunk to the new year and tears shed for the departing one. One was also drunk for John H. Murphy 3rd, who was kept away by an engagement with Morpheus. A social hour was spent afterward, toward the close of which Mr. Booster Knock came in. The employees were all for throwing him out, but it was thought best not to mar the advent of the year, but give him a chance to adopt some New Year resolutions so that the public may be appeased. Among those present, besides Booster Knock, were: Messrs Harry Gilbert, George D. Gilbert, Franklin F. Johnson, Peroy T. Borron, Daniel H. D. Arnett and John H. Murphy, Jr. Who can furnish a funeral for $10.00 and up; caskets for $3.00 and up.

If not you have missed just one. Is it your name? Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. you have missed Said one of the women who knows how and does it, "Won't you visit our bazaar this afternoon or evening?" bizarre that I don't know" said I. "but I'll think you much of a display?" try. "I'll not tell you," she said, "come up and see and I don't think you'll be disappointed." Well it was so cold and so stormy when the time rolled around that I walked first to one window and then the other, and all I could see was snow. A regular blizzard was raging. It was snowing and blowing such a gale that I would look at the fire and think—its useless to go out in such weather as this, no one will venture out just for a Eazar. But after many attempts, I at last decided to risk it. I bundled up—as the children say—and started. It was not very cold but oh! the snow and how it blew, and sung and blinded one, before walking three squares I had bumped squarely into as many different people. I was sweet and such heavy snow and it came down so thickly that it was impossible to see any one a not away from you, but after many funny collisions, I at last readened the church, and I'll let you hear as to whether I should have been disappointed. In the first place the church was crowded and though it was not two oclock everybody was ready to start selling as soon as the clock struck two. People were walking around taking Rock of what they wanted and as the town clock tolled the hour, everybody became busy, and for about one hour it resembled bees swarming and then as suddenly as it had started so suddenly it nearly became about fifty more. As they bought what they needed they left. As I had gone they needed. I still hung around and it half past three. I was wondering if they continued selling, what could be left to sell in the evening and the next day as the bazar was to but two days. Every single thing was donated by church members and attendants of the church; there were all sorts of useful things that could be used as gifts or as one wished in fact I think the fact that Xmas was only ten days off added to the popularity of the hazard and to its ability to sell its stock and the main thing nothing was over priced. Every thing was quoted at reasonable prices according to the quality of the article. There were baby jackets and kimonos and caps, and bootees, little dresses and carriage straps and odds and ends enough to piease the most particular mother all hand-made. then there was two of the most beautiful hand-made sweaters, one the popular length used now with a large storm collar, the other hand knit with immense collar and cuffs of anorgn wool in gray. Then there were cushions and bags enough to supply everyone and an immense long containing nothing but apples of all sorts. Then there was the candy booth with only home-made candy—but so much of it and so many different kinds. The booth was built to represent a large red and white candy cane and some eyes that had wrapped red and white candy together in the white candy canes and they all around the booth. They were so well made that at a casual glance you thought it was real candy only close inspection undecided you, and didn't they sell, well I should think they did before four o'clock there was not a half pound left. I said to one of the young ladies, "There is little for you to do tomorrow." "Oh, there'll be plenty," she said. "I'll have to busy this evening and run around and see the girls and get them to make me some more candy. You see young girls from twelve to seventeen love to make candy, and they are the ones that make the most of our candy, for the bazaars. I have only sold fifteen dollars worth and I want my table to average at least twenty-five." Then I went to the cake table and it was also depleted. "What will you do for cakes tomorrow?" said I — "Oh," was the reply, "we will have fifty or more cakes for tomorrow, perhaps we'll run to seventy-five. You see tomorrow is our chicken pie super and we have so very many promised for that and all we don't sell with the ice cream we sell in quarter slices, halves or whole just as people want them. We sell a wonderful lot of whole cakes." "What do you do with the chicken pie that is left?" I required. "Oh, we sell it also. We have more orders for pies left over than we can fill" was the answer. "We have them in pans ten by twelve and twelve by twenty and we get sixty cents for the small pies and one dollar for the large ones. Some will buy a half a pie if they can get it. The odd features of the bazar were the woman with a hundred pockets and the baby contest. The woman with a hundred pockets was a tall large woman of generous proportions. She had on a quantity made dress of flowered crestone and the pockets were strips of the crestone sewed on a band of the goods eight inches deep was sewed on around the skirt from them to waist, and divided into sections, large enough to contain any little article well wrapped, there were pockets on the back of waist, and on the sleeves every one containing a package. You could take your choice of pockets for ten cents it took the place of the fish pond and pareel post booth. The baby contest was baby photos of all descriptions. Every body was invited to bring a baby's photograph snap shot, tin type small or large framed or unframed, it did not make any difference. The Sunday School children were told to bring any picture of a baby they wished and they could enter it for five cents. Adults were charged ten cents to enter theirs and it made no difference whether it was grandmother or grandfather when they were babies or baby sister or brother of the present day. They were hung neatly and a large curtain hid them from view. An admission of five cents was charged to see the display, which was very large, because as you know every child thinks baby is the prettiest of all and is very anxious to show his picture and the result was wonderful. The judging of the quaintest baby and the prettiest baby and the fattest baby was to be done by three very old bachelors. And the prize was of a baby more than fifty years ago. The day of the supper they had nearly sold out when those present were surprised by the march- ing in of the pastor's bible class, led by an old soldier and the first twenty couples carrying brooms held like guns and marching to the music of the drum corps of the town. After a drill one of the members of the class, told of the many numerous things a woman can do with them after which they were collected and preserved the ladies of the bazar. Then marched around and every article they found not sold they collected, put all on one table and auctioned them off and presented the ladies with another sum of money. $18.98, which closed the bazar. There was only the expense of three gallons of cream, because the other cream had all been donated and home-made and they cleared from the two days work $251.97, was remarkable for a town of less than $200 inhabitants and supporting six good sized churches not one church valued at less than $35,000. What could be accomplished in a church of a large city with thousands of inhabitants and the will to do. How much better than a bazar for a whole week, with night after night of hard work and expenses so great that if $100 is clearled I am telling you have some bazar thinking perhaps you one thing about it might help you one planning to have one. I think a bazar after Xmas or during the Xmas holidays, after people have bought all their gifts is the cause of so many failures and such few successes in church bazars, as one woman remarked—"It makes you hustle to help at the bazar and get your own work finished up for Xmas, but I'd rather do it before, because it will be off my mind and I have the whole of the holidays to enjoy myself and go where I please and then too people will buy just before Xmas because there are plenty who love home-made articles when they are well made and who wait for our bazar to buy their Xmas gifts and as we make it a rule not to quote anything too high and most things a few cents cheaper than the same article can be bought anywhere else, we are sure of a good sale." JUST A FEW HINTS In making candy see if you won't have better success if it is made on a pretty clear day. A pad for wiping flatirons is quickly made by taking an old magazine and shaving bees wax between the pages. The pages can be taken off as used. When crepe de chine waists become worn under the arm, cut off the upper part and sew on either a crocheted or lace yoke. The belt and buttons and buttonholes are already on, and a new silk corset cover is made with very little work.

SOUTH Makes Greatest Increase In Sales Of Afro-Americans During The Year Little Eleanor Ghee, who sells 144 Afro-Americans every week among the people of East Baltimore has won the prize of $5.00 offered by Mr. C. Henry Jenkins last year for the girl who sold the largest number of Afro-Americans. Miss Ghee was apprised of the fact when she came to buy her papers yesterday when the prize was offered Miss Cree was only selling half of her present number of papers, and she immediately set about increasing her sales with the idea of winning if possible the prize that had been offered and at the same time increase the amount of money that she could make each week by the sale of her papers. How well she succeeded the above mentioned facts well attest. Miss Ghee is a quiet and unassuming little miss, but with a bright and active mind, and an ability for securing customers that has as yet to be surpassed by any of her competitors. In next week's paper we shall announce the winner of the prize offered for the boy who sells the largest number of Afros every week.
