Wednesday, Thursday and Friday March 5, 6 and 7, the National Colored Democratic League held important sessions in Washington, D. C. The meetings were held in one of the large assemblies rooms in the Y. M. C. A. building, and many delegates were present from the various sections of the country. After the first session on Wednesday morning peace and harmony prevailed. At that session a tilt occurred between the strong followers of Robert N. Wood, chief of the United Colored Democracy of Greater New York, and the supporters of Bishop Alexander Walters, as to what faction should control the destinies of the League for the next four years, and finally at the end of a spirited contest the adherents of Bishop Walters won out and Mr. Wood, who ably led the forces on the opposite side, was the first one to step forward and grasp Bishop Walters by the hand, and not only to pledge his loyal support to him, but also to pledge the support of the members of the United Colored Democracy of Greater New York. Right then and there Bishop Walters heartily thanked all present on the happy outcome of such an unpleasant situation which confronted the delegates for a few moments. The first order of business at the afternoon session on Wednesday was the appointment of a committee to frame a new constitution and to draft new by-laws for the League, and while the committee was engaged in its labors Bishop Walters called on Chief Robert N. Wood, of New York, and Julius F. Taylor to address the one hundred or more delegates who were present. At the Wednesday evening session of the League, which was short as all the delegates wanted to return to their lodgings so that they would have plenty of time to get ready to attend the grand ball and reception which was held that evening at the Convention Hall, so the new constitution and by-laws were adopted in short order. The new constitution provides that the present officers of the League who were elected at the Baltimore convention in July, 1912, shall continue to serve as such for the next four years; however, on Thursday morning many new members of the various committees were chosen by the president, Julius F. Taylor, for the next four years becoming chairman of the committee on printing. At the afternoon session on Thursday, Bishop Walters announced that all the expenses in connection with holding the sessions of the League in that city including the rent for regular headquarters which will be maintained for the next four years at 1022 U St., N. W., was almost one hundred dollars, and as the League had only about forty dollars to its credit, that he needed sixty dollars to make up the HEW TO THE LINE; LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY difference, and the money was forthcoming from its members before any one could count one, two, three, for they came up with the real money. Friday morning, March 7, the last or final session of the League was held and before adjourning sine die, arrangements were made to maintain the headquarters of the League for the next four years at the number mentioned above. The rooms will be refurnished and redecorated in first class style, as the cost for maintaining the headquarters, including rent and so on, will amount to one hundred dollars per month, and the majority of those present pledged to pay in something each and every month, and enough money was pledged in that direction to make up the amount required for the monthly expenses. William L. Offord, who is taking a course in law at the Howard University, will be in charge of the headquarters during the day time, and he will receive fifty dollars per month for his services. James H. Howard will be in charge during the evenings and at all times the doors of the headquarters of the National Colored Democratic League will swing both ways to all strangers and visitors to Washington, D.C. The last official act of the League on Friday was the selection of a steering committee consisting of fifteen members, with Bishop Alexander Walters as its chairman and William L. Offord clerk, the members of the steering committee who will meet from time to time subject to the call of the chairman are as follows: Bishop Alexander Walters, president; James A. Ross, Buffalo, N. Y.; Robert N. Wood, New York City; James L. Curtis, Esq., New York City; Sully Jaymes, Esq., Springfield, Ohio; G. E. Taylor, Ottumwa, Iowa; A. B. Cosey, Esq., New Jersey; G. C. Clement (Rev.), North Carolina; S. D. Russell, Tulsa, Oklahoma; James H. W. Howard, Harrisburg, Pa.; N. B. Marshall, New York City; Wesley J. Young, Brooklyn, N. Y.; Julius F. Taylor, Chicago, Illinois; N. B. Clark, Newport News, Va.; Peter J. Smith, Boston, Mass. Just as the steering committee was winding up its business, Bishop Walters requested that each and every one of its members including Francis Warren, of Detroit, Michigan, and one or two others who were not on the committee should meet at the headquarters promptly at two o'clock; in the meantime get ready to put their best foot forward and call on President Woodrow Wilson at the White House that same afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. Promptly at that hour or at the appointed time all the members of the steering committee, headed by Bishop Walters, proudly walked in single file into the East Parlor and each one gazed at the twenty thousand dollar piano which stands in the extreme east CHICAGO, MARCH 29, 1913 WILLIAM H. ALDERMAN GEORGE F. HARDING. The tried and true friend of worthy Afro-Americans; the people's candidate for re-election to the City Council from the Second Ward, who will be elected on Tuesday, April 1, with both hands down. In 1905 Alderman Harding made his first successful race for the city council and he has ably and faithfully represented all the people residing in the second ward, Democrats and Republicans alike from that time to the present. At that time many of those who were bitterly opposed to his election for political reasons only worked overtime in an effort to stir up race prejudice against him, claiming that he would not rent decent houses or first class flats to Afro-Americans.

Not long after entering it each member of the committee met President Wilson face to face as each one was presented to him he warmly grasped him by the hand, and wearing his most pleasant smile he softly exclaimed, "I am pleased to meet you, Mr. Taylor, or Mr. so and so. After the President had cordially shook hands all around, Bishop Walters presented him with a typewritten list of the names and the addresses of each member of the steer- ing committee and with a copy of the resolution which appeared in the columns of this paper March 15. Each and every member of the committee were more than highly delighted with the warm reception accorded them by President Wilson.

Finally The whole show was a great deal better this year than in former years and each and every member of the club were at their best and they carried themselves over with much glory. Sitting and standing room in the hall was at a premium. Dancing followed the show which was greatly enjoyed by those who delight to hug and squeeze the lovely costumed ladies in the merry waltz and while dancing Tango, a handsome sum of money was realized for the Old Folks' Home, which is highly deserving of the support of all charitably inclined men and women. D. G. Smith was by far the star of the evening, very feelingly rendering "Dearest Memories"; he was supported by a splendid chorus; some one sitting near us in a low voice exclaimed that someone ought to have presented Mr. Smith with a tin bouquet for singing the song so charmingly. The following was the set program: Opening chorus, "Dixie Lou", company; "Dear Old Moonlight", Wm. G. Carroll; "My Little Persian Rose", Jos. Thomas; "On the Mississippi"; Charles W. Settles; Tenor Solo, "I Hear You Calling Me", Thomas Allen; "Rag Time Soldier Man", R. R. Jackson; Baritone Solo, I. N.

Lewis, and at its conclusion he brought down the house. To BEST A. WILLIAMS ENTERTAINED AT A STAG BY THE MEMBERS OF THE APPOMATTOX CLUB. BEAUTIFUL LIFE-SIZE PICTURE OF WILLIAM R. COWAN PRESENTED TO THE CLUB. Last Saturday evening the members of the Appomattox Club gave a stag and smoker in honor of Bert A. Williams, who is playing with Ziegfeld Follies, Series of 1912, which is enjoying a remarkable run at the Colonial Theater. Lawyer B. F. Moseley and Julius F. Taylor, witnessed the splendid show that evening and just as it was winding up, Frank L. Hamilton, President of the Appomattox Club, Col. John R. Marshall and Louis B. Anderson, assistant county attorney, appeared on the scene in a big six-seated touring car and after considerable talking as to who should have the honor of steering Bert Williams to the club rooms, it was finally decided to throw him in the auto and the other No.26 our great surprise he started into work, thusly on us, "Editor Julius Taylor, with two copies of The Broad Ax, split in the middle sticking out of his coat pocket and Cary B. Lewis, started on a still rabbit hunt. They were not looking for spring chickens. Finally they treed a rabbit and while Cary sat at the bottom of the tree, Julius climbed up the tree in his hot chase after it. He was out of sight so long and was so silent, until at last Cary cried out: 'Julius, do you want me to come up the tree and help you to catch dat rabbit?' Julius yelled out in much pain: 'Taint no rabbit up this tree; it's a wild cat, and I want you to come up and help me to turn him loose.' Cary ran up the white feather and took to the woods and down came Julius and the wildcat all in a heap." After everybody had enjoyed a hearty laugh at our expense,肩e Sheocraft, the heavyweight head end man, strode up to us and intimated that he knew that we would not charge anything for advertising the show for he had given us a lot of advertising. We smilingly responded that we would double up the price of the ad as he had handled our name to his heart's content without our permission to do so. The officers and members of the Amateur Minstrel Club for 1913, are as follows: Officers—Doc. Smith, President; William G. Carroll, Treasurer; Charles S. Washington, Secretary; David A. McGowan, Director; Isaac N. Dunlap, Asst. Director; Frank B. Waring, Interlocutor. Members—D. Rudolph Lawrence, Major R. R. Jackson, Charles W.

Moore, Jr. The Knights Templar also gave their second annual Easter ball Monday evening at the Seventh Regiment Armory and it was a most pleasant social affair. Many of the leading social lights attended it. five gentlemen mentioned above should pile in on tdp of him and make Frank Hamilton pay the auto bill, as he is a prince of good fellows and always carries a large bundle of good money with him. On arriving at the club rooms which were filled up with its members only, Bert and his guard of honor were received with much noise and merriment and just as soon as President Hamilton could restore order he called on Dr. Charles E. Bentley to present the beautiful picture of former President William P. Cowan to the club; it was accepted on behalf of the club by Major Robert R. Jackson. At the conclusion of his well chosen remarks Bert Williams was forced to do some talking to tell several of his richest stories; to play on the piano and to sing two of his favorite songs, before he was permitted to join in the feasting and the other pleasures of the evening.

(Concluded from page 1) congressional district, and as in the past he is ever ready to look after his constituents to the best of his ability, and he made us walk right into his fine quarters in the Congress office building and make ourselves at home. As a memento he presented us with a fine photograph of President Woodrow Wilson, the Hon. Thomas Gallagher and himself which was taken at Seagirt, N. J., July 20, 1912, with President Wilson sitting in between the two congressmen from Illinois. In the afternoon of that same date or on Saturday, March 8, we had the honor of calling on Col. William J. Bryan, the new secretary of state, and finally after a long wait we were ushered into his presence by his Colored messenger, and he received us very pleasantly with his original Bryan smile. His desk sits right in the center of a very large room, and in his plain western way or style he has the doors leading into his inner room wide open, so that the humblest or the highest citizen, white or black, can without much trouble get to see him after they are admitted into his presence. Every once in a while the new secretary will arise from his easy chair, walk around among those in the room, crack a good joke with some one he knows real well, pat them on the back and in his old-fashioned democratic manner he earnestly endeavors to make all comers feel at home. (To be continued) ALDERMANIC TERMS SHOULD NOT BE LENGTHENED. At a recent meeting of the council the aldermen passed a bill making official terms of alderman four years instead of two, as at present. The bill in question is about to be presented to the legislature. There seems to be no great outcry for this extension on the part of the public, and it had been hoped that this proposition was shelved for good, as it is almost certain to be when it comes up for action in the General Assembly. It would seem as though the intelligent citizen will have difficulty in discovering any reason why such a proposition should be given serious consideration for a moment. In the case of an alderman who is representing his ward in a fashion satisfactory to his constituents, there is nothing to prevent the latter from succeeding himself indefinitely or until he ceases to do aldermanic duty in harmony with their wishes and views. On the other hand, a four-year term is obviously too long for an alderman, who, in spite of pre-election pledges, conducts himself in such a fashion as to displease those who were deceived into sending him to the council. For be it remembered that the voters have practically no power to rid themselves of such an incubus until four long years have elapsed. It is true they may express individual and collective disapproval of the man who misrepresents them, but a corrupt or otherwise inefficient alderman is not likely to pay more than contemptuous attention to demonstrations of that kind. He would be too busy feathering his nest, knowing full well that when next-election day comes around he will be forced into the undignified retirement he has earned. In the meantime the voters have had no means of closing the stable door before the horse was stolen. Another point seems to have been overlooked. Two-year terms are regarded as sufficient for state legislators and members of the National House of Representatives. And it may be safe to say that, in a general way, these gentlemen are at least as valuable to their constituents as Chicago aldermen are to the wards they represent. From every point of view the proposition is one to be frowned down. Four years is not long enough for a good alderman; still more important, it is much too long for a bad one. 12 MUSICAL FESTIVAL AND DEMON- STEATION IN VOICE CULTURE GIVEN BY THE ATLANTA BAP- TIST COLLEGE AUDITORIUM- ARMORY ATLANTA, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, MARCH 21, 1913. Nearly 4,000 (four thousand) people present. Features were—Male chorus of two hundred fifty voices; college orchestra, Glee Club, Quartette, Piano, Vocal and Trombone Solos and the Demonstration in Voice Culture. The program consisted of new selections excepting the melodies and Swanee River. All were committed in two weeks' time. The Colored composers represented were R. Nathaniel Dett, (Magnolia Suite for Piano); Will Marion Cook, Rosamond Johnson, Harry Burleigh, and Clarence Cameron White in vocal compositions. The whole program aimed to show what Colored youth could do in even a short time of preparation. The Festival was a courageous enterprising effort on the part of President John Hope of Atlanta Baptist College. His faith in the citizens of Atlanta well placed, as the immense audience attested. Congratulations are due both President Hope, the Atlanta Baptist College and the progressive Colored citizens of Atlanta. Since Madame Hackley had contributed her services for the two weeks' preparation and for the Festival, there was no effort made to reap financial gain. Popular prices of 25c and 50c were charged. It was a most remarkable audience in several ways. The late comers waited most patiently in the vestibule and inside the door, between numbers, until the ushers seated them, and made every effort not to disturb, some even "tiptoeing" to their seats. Although nearly one thousand public school children and orphans were the guests of the College, one could have heard a pin drop not only during a rendition but while Madame Hackley gave the Demonstration and put the chorus through the vocal exercise. Madame Hackley was able assisted by Mr. Kemper Harreld, director of music of the Atlantic Baptist College. The boys presented Madame Hackley with a beautiful sterling silver chain and engraved coin purse, and a large bouquet of pink carnations, and gave her a "college yell". The affair marks an era—not only in the musical affairs of the Atlanta population but in the musical history of the race.—"D." HEAR THE MAN WHO FOUNDED TUSEKEE INSTITUTE.

Eloquent Remarks in Part by Governor William Sulzer at the Complimentary Dinner. IN HIS HONOR, TO CELEBRATE HIS FIFTIETH BIRTHDAY AT THE CAFE BOULEVARD, TENTH STREET AND SECOND AVENUE NEW YORK CITY, SATURDAY, MARCH 22, 1913—MANY DISTINGUISHED CITIZENS GRACED THE OCCASION WITH THEIR PRESENCE.

As its governor I shall, in so far as I can, give the people of the state an honest, an efficient, an economical and a business-like administration of public affairs. I say business-like advisedly, because I assure the business men in every part "Here assembled are some of the best and the truest friends a man ever had. If I have done aught in the years gone by to justify this recognition of your kindness, of your generosity, and of your appreciation, the credit is yours, and the praise is yours because all that I am I owe, to a very large extent, to those around this festive board for the confidence they have reposed in me, and in the rectitude of my intentions, in all the years of the past when I represented this district in the congress of the United States. "You know me as I am; and as I am, I ever hope to be. I would not be different if I could, and I could not if I would. You know that I have no race, no political, and no religious prejudice. The only prejudice I have is against intrenched wrongs, to remedy which I have struggled all my life. I am broad-minded in my views. I believe in my fellowman, in the good of society generally, and I know that the world is growing better. My face is to the dawning of the better and the brighter day that heralds the coming of the Brotherhood of Man. "In the future, as in the past, you can count on me to struggle to help those who need help; to do my share in my day and generation for the general welfare; to aid oppressed humanity in every land and in every clime; and to raise the humble and the lowly te a higher level and a loftier plane in the onward march of progress and of civilization. "Long ago I made a vow to the people that in the performance of my duty no influence would control me but the dictates of my conscience and my determination to do the right—as I see the light—day in and day out, regardless of the political future or personal consequences. Have no fear. I shall stick to that. "Let me say again that I stand now, where I have always stood, and where I always will stand—for certain fundamental principles—for freedom of speech; for the right of lawful assembly; for the freedom of the press; for liberty under law; for civil and religious freedom; for constitutional government; for equality and justice to all; for home rule and local self government; for the reserved rights of the states; for equal rights to every one and special privileges to no one; and for unshackled opportunity as the beacon light of individual hope, and the best guarantee for the perpetuity of our free institutions. "New York is the greatest state in the Union. It should always be an ex- Soon we'll hear the familiar cry, "Now all get busy and swat the fly." Education in health matters given to the child in the school is certain to have its influence in the home. * * * Smallpox scars on a human face are the unmistakable signs of ignorance and needless suffering. * * * During these mild spring days don't let the fires go out, but open the windows and fill your home with the fresh outside air. * * * It sounds a little inconsistent, doesn't it, to hear a teacher talking to a room full of pupils about the value of fresh air, with the windows all carefully closed and the ventilation about as bad as could be? Now is a good time to get out your fly screens and put them in readiness for use when fly time comes. * * * When we know that conditions that cause certain diseases are preventable and we take no steps to remove these conditions, are we living up to the light we have? For example, we know that filth breeds flies and that flies spread disease. So, if we tolerate flies and filth in our communities, we may expect to have a lot of sickness and many needless deaths. * * * Why should not the Department of Health have a branch office in every public school in the city?

As its governor I shall, in so far as I can, give the people of the state an honest, an efficient, an economical and a business-like administration of public affairs. I say business-like advisedly, because I assure the business men in every part of our state that they can rely on me at all times to do my utmost to promote the commercial interests of our commonwealth. I realize how important they are, and shall always be exceedingly careful to take no step that will jeopardize the financial and the commercial supremacy of the first state in the Republic. "Suffice it to say that I am a friend of every business, whether big or little, so long as it is legitimate, and will always have its welfare in view in the administration of state affairs. To this end I shall continue to work unceasingly for quicker and better transportation agencies in every part of the State, and for improved and larger terminal facilities, in order that New York shall continue to receive her just share of the trade and the commerce of the country. "Whenever in doubt it is my purpose to confide in the people, and I indulge the hope that when my official term comes to an end I shall have accomplished something to merit their approval and to justify the confidence they have reposed in the rectitude of my intentions. "As many of you know I have been over some of the celebrated trails of our country—the trails made by our heroic settlers in the pioneer days of the Republic. A few years ago I traveled over the famous 'Santa Fe Trail' stretching away from St. Louis westward and southward to the capital of New Mexico. There in the old Plaza, where the trail ends, is a small granite shaft to the memory of Kit Carson, the pathfinder, the scout and the guide of that world-renowned route. On it are inscribed these simple words, 'Well done, Kit.' "When my career on earth is finished, and I am gathered to the fathers, I indulge the hope that if I have done aught for my fellowman, that those who appreciate my efforts for a common humanity will erect over my grave a similar simple shaft, and on it inscribe the words, 'Well done, Bill.' I want no greater reward—no greater glory—no more lasting fame. "And so, my friends, in conclusion, I thank you again one and all, for what you have done for me; and God willing, I assure you that in the future, as in the past, I shall to the best of my ability fight on for truth; fight on for justice; fight on for progress; fight on for humanity; fight on for the cause that lacks assistance; against the wrongs that need resistance; for the future in the distance, and the good that I can do." ters, from which the department could carry on many of its activities, especially along the lines of controlling contagious diseases and in educating the people in doing the things that make for community comfort and health. BILL PASSES ASSEMBLY Civil Rights Measure Introduced by Assemblyman Levy Designed to Give All Equal Accommodations, Favorably Considered by Lower House. Albany, N. Y., March 17,—The Levy Bill, providing against discrimination in public places on account of race, creed or color was passed by the assembly Monday evening. The senate will now act on the measure. The bill provides that no person being the owner, lessee, proprietor, manager, superintendent, agent or employee of a place of public accommodation shall directly or indirectly refuse any one accommodations, and that if found guilty shall be liable to a penalty of $500, to be recovered by the aggrieved person or shall be fined not less than $250 or no more than $1,000, or be sentenced to jail for not less than thirty days or no more than six months. Heretofore the proprietors of public places who have been made defendants in damage suits in which color or religious discrimination was charged have often put the blame on employees. The bill will be so amended as to make either the proprietor or employ liable. EASTER SABBATH AT THE INSTITUTE TUTIONAL CHURCH. Notwithstanding the terrife downpour of rain and the manifest fury of the elements, two magnificent audiences assembled at the Institutional Church Easter Sabbath. The new vested choir entered with the "Processional" and departed with "Recessional," and the music which they rendered was not only appropriate and beautiful, but perfect in its execution. Bishop B. F. Lee preached upon "The Power of the Resurrection," and delivered a sermon advanced in thought, powerful in delivery, profound in its philosophy and that stirred and inspired his whole audience.

To say that this subject was treated by this learned scholar to the delight and edification of all is putting it but mildly. Next Sabbath evening Mrs. E. H. Ryder, of the Chicago D. N.

THE ALPHA SUFFRAGE CLUB Will Give a Big Entertainment in Honor of Misses Belle Squire, Virginia Brooks and Mrs. Ida Wells-Barnett, Three Heroines of the Suffrage Parade in Washington. The Alpha Suffrage Club, the only suffrage club among the colored women in Chicago, will give its first public entertainment at Quinn Chapel, Monday night, April 7th. This club is responsible for Mrs. Barnett going to Washington to represent the race in the great suffrage parade, March 3rd. The club made itself personally responsible for Mrs. Barnett's expenses, and this effort is for the purpose of raising the money to pay back that expense. The Progressive Club of Quinn Chapel is largely co-operating with the suffrage club to make this entertainment a great success. Misses Belle Squire and Virginia Brooks, the two white women who stood so loyally by Mrs. Barnett in her fight for colored representation, will be the chief speakers of the evening, after which a reception will be held downstairs. There will be music by the Emancipation chorus, under the direction of Mr. James A. Mundy. Among other numbers, they will render Mr. Mundy's composition which was composed in honor of the fifteenth anniversary of freedom, and "Infammatus." Mrs. Barnett will preside. A rich treat is promised to all and it is expected that the church will be crowded with members of the City Federation of Women's Clubs and other organizations in the city which will be glad of the opportunity to do honor to the noble young women who stood for the right. Everybody invited. Admission, 25 cents.—"S." EDITOR TAYLOR BACK IN "CHIL." Editor Julius F. Taylor, of The Chicago Broad Ax, has returned to the city from a trip to Washington, D. C., to witness the inauguration of President Wilson and made a trip to Harrisburg, Pa., to see his relatives. Mr. Taylor is one of the few Colored democrats who, on a trip, goes in first-class style and fashion. When Governor Dunne was inaugurated Mr. Taylor did not ride on a pass, used no money from the politicians to bear his expenses, was the honored guest to be received by the governor, attended the ball and left Springfield with the highest of commendations from those who knew him. Mr. Taylor went under similar circumstances to Washington, D. C. He rode on a fast train, had a sleeper and porters to wait on him, and everywhere he stopped was treated most cordially and pleasantly. The reports of his trip are well worth reading.—Cary B.

As a memento he presented us with & fine photograph of President Wood- row Wilson, the Hon. Thomas Galla- gher and himself which was taken at Seagirt, N. J., July 20, 1912, with President Wilson sitting in between the two congressmen from Illinois. In the afternoon of that same date or on Saturday, March &, we had the honor of calling on Col. William J. Bryan, the new secretary of state, and finally after a long wait we were ush- ered into his presence by his Colored messenger, and he received us very pleasantly with his original Bryan smile. His desk sits right in the cen- ter of a very large room, and in his plain western way or style be has the doors leading into his inner room wide open, so that the humblest or the high- est citizen, white or black, can without much trouble get to see him after they are admitted into his presence. Every once in a while the new secretary will arise from his easy chair, walk around ‘among those in the room, crack a good joke with some one he knows real well, pat them on the back and in his old- fashioned democratic manner he ear- nestly endeavors to make all comers feel at home. (To be continued) ALDERMANIC TEEMS SHOULD NOT RE LENGTHENED. At a recent meeting of the council the aldermen passed a bill making official terms of alderman four year: instead of two, as at present. The bill in question is about to be pre sented to the legislature. There seems to be no great outery for this extension on the part of the public, and it had been hoped that this proposition wa: shelved for good, as it is almost certair to be when it comes up for action in the General Assembly. It would seem as though the intelli- gent citizen will have difficulty in dis- covering any reason why such a prop- osition should be given serious consid- eration for a moment. In the case of an alderman who is representing his ward in a fashion satisfactory to his constituents, there is nothing to pre- vent the latter from succeeding himself indefinitely or until he ceases to do al- Germanic duty in harmony with their wishes and views. On thesother hand, a four-year term is obviously too long for an alderman, who, in spite of pre-election pledges, conducts himself in such a fashion as to displease those who were deceived into sending him to the council. For be it remembered that the voters have practically no power to rid themselves of such an incubus until four long years have elapsed. It is true they may express individual and collective dis- approval of the man who misrepresents them, but a corrupt or otherwise in- efficient alderman is not likely to pay more than contemptuous attention to demonstrations of that kind. He would be too busy feathering his nest, know: ing foll well that when next election aay comes around he will be forced into the undignified fetirement be has earned. In the meantime the voters have had no means of closing the sta- ble door before the horse was stolen. ‘Another point seems to have been overlooked. Two-year terms are re garded as sufficignt for state legisla tors and members of the National ‘House of Representatives. see be safe to say that, in a general Way, these gentlemen are at least as valu- able to their constituents as Chicago aldermen are to the wards they repre- sent. From every point of view the ‘proposition is one to be frowned down. ‘Four years is not long enongh for 2 alderman; still more important, it eee ea ig tee tek oo MUSICAL FESTIVAL AND DEMON- STRATION IN VOICE CULTURE GIVEN BY THE ATLANTA BAP.

His faith in the citizens of Atlanta well placed, as the immense audience attested. Congratulations are due both Presi- dent Hope, the Atlanta Baptist Col- lege and the progressive Colored citi zens of Atlanta. "Since, Madame Hackley bad con tributed her services for the two weeks’ preparation and for the Festi val, there was no effort made to rea} financial gain. Popular prices of 25 and 50c were charged. It was a most remarkable audience in several ways. The late comer: Waited most patiently in the vestibule ‘and inside the door, between numbers, ‘until the ushers seated them, and made every effort not to disturb, some even ““tiptoeing’’ to their seats. Although nearly one thousand public school chil: dren and orphans were the guests of the College, one could have heard a pin drop not only during a rendition but while Madame Hackley gave the Dem- onstration and put the chorus through the vocal exereise. Madame Hackley was ably assisted by Mr. Kemper Harreld, director of music of the Atlantic Baptist College. The boys presented Madame Hack- ley with a beautiful sterling silver chain and engraved coin purse, and 2 large bouquet of pink carnations, and gave her a ‘college yell’’. ‘The affair marks an era—not only in the musical affairs of the Atlanta population but in the musical history of the race—“D.”?

If I have done aught in the years gone by to justify this recogni- tion of your kindness, of your gener- osity, and of your appreciation, the credit is yours, and the praise is yours, because all that I am I owe, to a vers large extent, to those around this fes tive board for the confidence they have reposed in me, and in the rectitude of my intentions, in all the years of the past when I represented this district in the congress of the United States. “You know me as I am; and as I am, I ever hope to be. I would not be different if I could, and I could not if I would. You know that I have no race, no political, and no religious prej- udice. The only prejudice I have is against intrenched wrongs, to remedy which I have struggled all my life. I am broad-minded in my views. I be- lieve in my fellowman, in the good of society generally, and I know that the world is growing better. My face is to the dawning of the better and the brighter day that heralds the coming of the Brotherhood of Man. “In the future, as in the past, you can count on me to struggle to help those who need help; to do my share in my day and generation for the general welfare; to aid oppressed humanity in every land and in every clime; and to raise the humble and the lowly to a higher level and a loftier plane in the onward march of progress and of civi- lization. “Long ago I made a vow to the peo- ple that in the performance of my duty no influence would control me but the dictates of my conscience and my de- termination to do the right—as I see the light—day in and day out, regard- less of the political future or personal consequences. Have no fear. I shall stick to that. “Let me say again that I stand now, where I have always stood, and where I always will stand—for certain funda- mental principles—for freedom of speech; for the right of lawful atsem- bly; for the freedom of the press; for liberty under law; for civil and relig- ious freedom; for constitutional govern- ment; for equality and justice to all; for home rule and loeal self govern- ment; for the reserved rights of the states; for equal rights to every one and special privileges to no one; and for unshackled opportunity as the bea- con light of individual hope, and the best guarantee for the perpetuity of our free institutions. “(New York is the greatest state in the Union.

During these mild spring days don’t let the fires go out, but open the win- dows and ill your home with the fresh outside air.

I realize how impor: tant they are, and shall always be ex ceedingly careful to take no step that will jeopardize the financial and the commercial supremacy of the first state in the Republic. “Suffice it to say that I am a friend of every business, whether big or lit tle, so long as it is legitimate, and will always have its welfare in view in the administration of state affairs. To this ena I shall continue to work unceasing- ly for quicker and better transporta- tion agencies in every part of the State, and for improved and larger ter: minal facilities, in order that New York shall continue to receive her just share of the trade and the commerce of the country. «*Whenever in doubt it is my pur- pose to confide in the people, and I in- dulge the hope that when my official term comes to an end I shall have ae- complished something to merit their approval and to justify the confidence they have reposed in the rectitude of my intentions. ‘«As many of you know I have been over some of the celebrated trails of our country—the trails made by our he- roie settlers in the pioneer days of the Republic. A few years ago I traveled over the famous ‘Santa Fe Trail’ stretching away from St. Louis west- ward and southward to the capital of New Mexico. There in the old Plaza, where the trail ends, is a small granite shaft to the memory of Kit Carson, the pathfinder, the scout and the guide of that world-renowned route. On it are inscribed these simple words, ‘Well done, Kit.’ «When my career on earth is fin- ished, and I am gathered to the fathers, I indulge the hope that if I have done aught for my fellowman, that those who appreciate my efforts for a com- mon humanity will erect over my grave a similar simple shaft, and on it in- seribe the words, ‘Well done, Bill.’ I want no greater reward—no greater glory—no more lasting fame. “And so, my friends, in conclusion, I thank you again one and all, for what you have done for me; and God willing, I assure you that in the future, as in the past, I shall to the best of my ability fight on for truth; fight on for justice; fight on for progress; fight on for humanity; fight on for the cause that lacks assistance; against the wrongs that need resistance; for the fu- ture in the distance, and the good that I ean do.’” ters, from which the department could carry on many of its activities, espe- cially along the lines of controlling con. tagious diseases and in educating the people in doing the things that make for community comfort and health. BILL PASSES ASSEMBLY. Civil Rights Measure Introduced by As semblyman Levy Designed to Give All Equal Accommodations, Favor- ably Considered by Lower House. Albany, N. ¥., March 17,—The Levy Bill, providing against discrimination in publie places on account of race, creed or color was passed by the as sembly Monday evening. The senate will now act on the measure. The bill provides that no person be ing the owner, lessee, proprietor, man ager, superintendent, agent or employe of a place of public accommodation shall directly or indirectly refuse any one accommodations, and that if found guilty shall be liable to a penalty of $500, to be recovered by the aggrieved person or shall be fined not less than #250 or no more than $1,000, or be sen- teneed to jail for not less than thirty days or no more than six months. Heretofore the proprietors of public places who have been made defendants in damage suits in which color or re- ligious discrimination was charged have often put the blame on employes. The bill will be so amended as to make either the proprietor or employe liable. EASTER SABBATH AT THE INSTI ; TUTIONAL CHURCH.

LEADER IN GOOD MOVEMENTS Plenty of Business In Old Blue Grass State—Admirable Career of a Former Public School Teacher, Whose Activities Are Included In a Wide Scope of Racial Interests. Shelbyville, Ky.—That the race is making progress is shown by the successful men and women in various parts of the country who are making headway in the trades, business and professions. Their success is proving to be an inspiration to the boys and girls who are to be the future men and women. Mrs. Dalsy M. Saffell of this city is an example of what industry, honesty, ability and push will do for one possessing these qualities can do for herself. She was born in Louisville, Ky., and educated in the public schools of that city, completing the high school course, then going to Fisk university, where she took on the finishing touches. A. B. MRS. DAISY M. SAFFELL. She studied music in addition to her literary work, studying at St. Joseph Catholic academy and Fisk university. After finishing her studies Mrs. Saffell turned her attention to teaching. She spent fifteen years teaching at Frankfort, thence to Lawrenceburg, Ky., where she was principal. Later Mrs. Saffell decided to enter the business world; hence there was some more training necessary in order to make a success. She resigned school teaching and entered Clark's College of Embalming in Cincinnati, O., graduating with honors. She is the only woman in Kentucky who is a licensed embalmer, and in this she stands at the head of the class. She is deeply interested in the progress of her race and is found in everything that means racial uplift and progress. She is editor of the Kentucky Club Woman, the official organ of the Kentucky State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs. She is secretary of the Colored Funeral Directors' Association of Kentucky and treasurer of the National Association of Colored Funeral Directors At a meeting held in connection with the National Negro Business league in Chicago in 1912 Mrs. Saffell attracted much attention by the report made to the business league in her address delivered before that body. She is a typical Kentuckian. In secret society work she is secretary of the District Household of Ruth of Kentucky, which has won for her many friends among the women. She was active at the session of the biennial movable committee held in September, 1912, in Atlanta, Ga., where she delivered an address. "I believe that there is a place for every girl of my race." says Mrs. Saffell. "The only thing is for her to make up her mind to find it. She must not sit idle, but be up and doing. She must make each day count for something. "There is plenty of room outside of school teaching, and our girls must find it in the business arena. Some have made success as lawyers, doctors, stenographers, clerks and along other lines, and I am proud of them." Mrs. Saffell was married in 1897 to Mr. G. W. Saffell, who is the principal of the Shelbyville high school. Boydton Citizens to Hold Celebration. Boydton, the county seat of Mecklenburg county, in Virginia, is one of the oldest and most favorably known inland towns in the state. One mile west of the town in a beautiful oak grove is the Boydton institute, formerly the old Randolph-Mason college. The building is of red brick and is very picturesque in appearance. It was one of the leading schools for white students Just before and after the civil war. About thirty-four years ago it was opened by northern philanthropists for the education of Afro-Americans. The late Charles Cullis of Boston and Mrs Helen B Sharpe of Old Orchard, Me., who is still living, were among the leaders in the work when the school was opened in 1879. The citizens of Boydton will hold a big fifteenth anniversary celebration on Wednesday, April 9. PHELPS-STOKES LECTURES. Optimism the Keynote of Series Delivered at Southern College. By W. ANTHONY AERY. Richmond, Va.-Significant at this date, when current journals say so much of the fifteenth anniversary of the emancipaton proclamation, are the four Phelps-Stokes lectures on the Negro problem, which were delivered during January and February at the University of Virginia under the Phelps-Stokes foundation. This is the first time such a series of lectures has ever been given in a southern university, a fact indicative of the growing consciousness in this section that this problem may be partially solved by scientific and sympathetic investigation. According to Dr. James H. Dillard of the Jeanes foundation, who opened the series with a discussion of "Race Adjustment In the South," the majority of white southerners have for the last fifty years exercised a sort of benevolent tolerance in their dealings with the race question. They have worked amicably with their colored neighbors and have helped them, but they have never looked upon their economic, civil or intellectual position as a matter of study. That the matter is worthy of study has been vividly demonstrated by Dr. W. D. Weatherford in his two books, "Negro Life in the South" and "Present Forces In Negro Progress," designed primarily for the use of southern college men and extensively read in the college Y. M. C. A. mission study groups. The tardy realization, which Dr. Weatherford has helped to bring about, that the condition of the race is of vital importance is blazing a trail for such a recognition of the problem as the Phelps-Stokes lectures indicate. In suggesting remedies for the incompetency of Negro education and religion—two important phases of the problem—Dr. Dillard said that "justice demands a larger appropriation to increase the efficiency of the public schools by the introduction of home industries and by relating them to the life of the people" and that the character of much of the preaching by the colored clergy should be changed to show that religion has its relation to this world as well as to the next. The three other lectures were: "Black Belt Negro Labor-Its Efficiency and Its Cost," by Dr. Urich B. Phillips, professor of American history at the University of Michigan; "The Economic Negro," by Dr. Alfred Holt Stone of Dunleith, Miss., and "The Social and Economic Significance of the Mentally Defective Negro," by Dr. James Bardin of the University of Virginia. INFLUENCE OF TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE IN PORTO RICO Striking Exhibit at Insular Fair In Charge of Felix Reina. San Juan. Forto Rico.-Jerome B. Peterson, deputy collector of internal revenue, who has been stationed at San Juan. Porto Rico, for the past two months, writing about the third insular fair, held here Feb. 22 to March 2, says: "While the agricultural, educational and sanitary exhibits were remarkable as a revelation of the marvelous richness of the natural resources of the island and the rapid growth both materially and mentally under American guidance and stimulus, the most striking feature to my mind was the exhibit of the public school at Juncos, a town in the district of Guayama, credited by the census of 1910 with a little over 4,000 population. "This exhibit took the shape of a model cottage of four rooms, built to a scale of half the normal size, and partly furnished, all the handwork of the pupils. There were steps leading to the front porch, and stooping one could enter the doorway to the front room, which contained table, chairs and a book case. To the side was a bedroom, with the bed, and in the rear dining room and kitchen. Miniature plumbing fixtures had been installed, together with water supply and electric lighting. "But the principal feature and the lesson that the exhibit was intended to teach the people of Porto Rico was shown in the treatment of the quarter acre plot that surrounded the cottage. On this had been planted and were growing all sorts of vegetables, cabages, beets, lettuce, radishes, potatoes, etc. "As was stated to me by the young man in charge of the exhibit, the primary object was to show the masses of the people what could be done by those holding a small plot of ground in raising their own vegetables and thus reducing the high cost of living, which has also entered this insular possession with the other American notions. According to his statement, all these vegetables had been planted Jan. 8 and were in full growth for the opening of the fair. "The name of this young man is Felix Reina, and he was formerly a student at Tuskegee institute, a significant fact in this connection. That he also worked for a short time in the office of the New York Age while waiting to return to his home in Porto Rico does not lessen the interest of the story." Business Men to Meet in Waco June 4. The annual meeting of the Texas State Negro Business league will be held in Waco, Tex. for two days beginning on Wednesday, June 4. Both colored and white citizens of the town are interested in the plans which have already been mapped out for the entertainment of delegates and visitors to the meeting COTTRILL MAKES FRIENDS. Internal Revenue Collector Wina Public Favor in Honolulu. Honolulu, Hawaii.—The Hon. Charles A. Cottrell, collector of internal revenue, District of Hawaii, is referred to by the Pacific Commercial Advertiser of Honolulu as "a 'malihini' who has made good." A "malihini" is a foreigner. Recently Mr. Cottrell delivered an excellent address on the subject, "Armstrong and Hampton," at the unveiling of a tablet to General Samuel Chapman Armstrong in Pauaiah hall, Oahu college, where the great apostle of education for the American Negro and Indian received his early training. The following quotations from the Commercial Advertiser tell the story: "It it fortunate that there should be at this particular time in Hawaii so worthy a representative of the race that Armstrong fought to free. "Looking back to those few weeks between the time of the announcement of the Cottrill appointment to the position of collector of internal revenue for this territory and remembering the opposition there was locally to his appointment because he is of Negro blood and contrasting the sentiments then expressed with the applause he received from the leading white and Hawaiian residents of Honolulu and the friendliness toward him evinced on every hand, it is plain that Mr. Cottrill has not only been an efficient official, but has shown himself to be a man able to gain a high place for himself in public esteem." The Civic federation of Honolulu in 1906 proposed to erect at Punahou a memorial to General Armstrong. The Armstrong committee selected a basrelief in bronze, the work of an English artist. A. Bertram Pegram, which is a replica of one in marble at the Hampton institute in Virginia. THE JENKINS ORPHANAGE. Great Work of Uplift Being Done, Commissioners Believe. In concluding their annual report on the work and present condition of the Jenkins orphanage, Charleston, S. C., the city commissioners had the following to say: "The institutions founded by the Rev. D. J. Jenkins and maintained by his unremitting labors have taken hundreds of Negro children from the slums and gutters of Charleston, given them some rudiments of industrial training and enabled many of them to lead lives not unuseful to this community. "It is futile to say that his efforts at rescue and improvements have not always proved successful. The fact remains that the efforts themselves are worth the making, and the results in a vast majority of cases have been as satisfactory as could reasonably have been expected. "That 50 per cent of the total cost of these institutions is defrayed by work done by the inmates themselves is a convincing testimonial to the opportunities afforded the children in them to fit themselves for a better citizenship than they might even have achieved had they not been consigned to the care of the Jenkins institution. "In making this statement at this time we feel that we are discharging a duty devolving upon us as citizens, as well as officials, to whom the public may look for information regarding institutions to which the city council of Charleston gives the countenance of an annual appropriation—John Marshall, I'On L. Rhett, A. J. Riley, W. H. Cogswell, Frank R. Frost, Chairman." HAMPTON INSTITUTE PLANS EXTENSIVE SUMMER CRUISE HAMPTON INSTITUTE PLANS EXTENSIVE SUMMER CRUISE Three Races Represented In Coming Sea Voyage to Bar Harbor. The Hampton Institute of Virginia has purchased through Tams, Lemolne and Crane the Chesapeake bug eye Dixie. Therefore the open air festivals and minstrel performances held on the lawns at Newport, Bar Harbor and other seaside resorts in the summer of 1912 will be repeated in new form the coming season. More than $20,000 was raised by the Hampton students during their ninety-one days' march through eight states last year. In 1913, instead of marching, they will cruise from port to port on board their bug eye. The Dixie is ninety feet long, with a beam of twenty-one feet and equipped with a sixty horsepower motor. The crew includes a Zulu prince, Indians and twenty Negroes, all possessed of good voices. They will leave Hampton in May, and New York is to be the first port of call. The voyage is to be made in a quest for gold, and every port from New York to Bar Harbor will afford a point of attack. It will be an effort to raise the money which congress failed to appropriate for the school at Hampton. When the Dixie's crew has sung its way from Hampton to Bar Harbor all must lose their sea legs and take to the warppath across the White mountains to the interior, where traces of gold are to be found. Anxiety For "Aunt" Harriet Tubman. Harriet Tubman, of underground railroad fame, according to reports from Auburn, N., Y., March 12, is seriously ill from the ravages of pneumonia and not expected to survive many days longer. "Aunt Harriet," as she is familiarly called by her friends, is nearing the century mark. She was intimately acquainted with John Brown, Lincoln, William H. Seward and many other noted men of their day. Much anxiety is felt for the aged race benefactor. Easter musicale. Notwithstanding the weather there was a large and enthusiastic audience.

She must make each day count for something. "There is plenty of room outside of school teaching, and our girls must find it in the business arena. Some have made success as lawyers, doctors, stenographers, clerks and along other lines, and I am proud of them." Mrs. Saffell was married in 1897 to Mr. G. W. Saffell, who is the principal of the Shelbyville high school. Boydton Citizens to Hold Celebration. Boydton, the county seat of Mecklenburg county, in Virginia, is one of the oldest and most favorably known inland towns in the state. One mile west of the town in a beautiful oak grove is the Boydton institute, formerly the old Randolph-Mason college. The building is of red brick and is very picturesque in appearance. It was one of the leading schools for white students just before and after the civil war. About thirty-four years ago it was opened by northern philanthropists for the education of Afro-Americans. The late Dr. Charles Cullis of Boston and Mrs Helen B Sharpe of Old Orchard, Me., who is still living, were among the leaders in the work when the school was opened in 1879. The citizens of Boydton will hold a big fifteenth anniversary celebration on Wednesday, April 9. PHELPS-STOKES LECTURES. Optimism the Keynote of Series Delivered at Southern College. By W. ANTHONY AERY. Richmond, Va.-Significant at this date, when current journals say so much of the fifteenth anniversary of the emancipaton proclamation, are the four Phelps-Stokes lectures on the Negro problem, which were delivered during January and February at the University of Virginia under the Phelps-Stokes foundation. This is the first time such a series of lectures has ever been given in a southern university, a fact indicative of the growing consciousness in this section that this problem may be partially solved by scientific and sympathetic investigation. According to Dr. James H. Dillard of the Jeanes foundation, who opened the series with a discussion of "Race Adjustment In the South," the majority of white southerners have for the last fifty years exercised a sort of benevolent tolerance in their dealings with the race question. They have worked amicably with their colored neighbors and have helped them, but they have never looked upon their economic, civil or intellectual position as a matter of study. That the matter is worthy of study has been vividly demonstrated by Dr. W. D. Weatherford in his two books, "Negro Life in the South" and "Present Forces In Negro Progress," designed primarily for the use of southern college men and extensively read in the college Y. M. C. A. mission study groups. The tardy realization, which Dr. Weatherford has helped to bring about, that the condition of the race is of vital importance is blazing a trail for such a recognition of the problem as the Phelps-Stokes lectures indicate. In suggesting remedies for the incompetency of Negro education and religion—two important phases of the problem—Dr. Dillard said that "justice demands a larger appropriation to increase the efficiency of the public schools by the introduction of home industries and by relating them to the life of the people" and that the character of much of the preaching by the colored clergy should be changed to show that religion has its relation to this world as well as to the next. The three other lectures were: "Black Belt Negro Labor-Us Efficiency and Its Cost." by Dr. Ulrich B. Phillips, professor of American history at the University of Michigan; "The Economic Negro." by Dr. Alfred Holt Stone of Dunleith, Miss., and "The Social and Economic Significance of the Mentally Defective Negro." by Dr. James Bardin of the University of Virginia. INFLUENCE OF TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE IN PORTO RICO Striking Exhibit at Insular Fair In Charge of Felix Reina. San Juan. Porto Rico.-Jerome B. Peterson, deputy collector of internal revenue, who has been stationed at San Juan. Porto Rico, for the past two months, writing about the third insular fair, held here Feb. 22 to March 2, says: "While the agricultural, educational and sanitary exhibits were remarkable as a revelation of the marvelous richness of the natural resources of the island and the rapid growth both materially and mentally under American guidance and stimulus, the most striking feature to my mind was the exhibit of the public school at Juncos, a town in the district of Guayama, credited by the census of 1910 with a little over 4,000 population. "This exhibit took the shape of a model cottage of four rooms, built to a scale of half the normal size, and partly furnished, all the handiwork of the pupils. There were steps leading to the front porch, and stooping one could enter the doorway to the front room, which contained table, chairs and a book case. To the side was a bedroom, with the bed, and in the rear dining room and kitchen. Miniature plumbing fixtures had been installed, together with water supply and electric lighting. "But the principal feature and the lesson that the exhibit was intended to teach the people of Porto Rico was shown in the treatment of the quarter acre plot that surrounded the cottage. On this had been planted and were growing all sorts of vegetables, cabbages, beets, lettuce, radishes, potatoes, etc. "As was stated to me by the young man in charge of the exhibit, the primary object was to show the masses of the people what could be done by those holding a small plot of ground in raising their own vegetables and thus reducing the high cost of living, which has also entered this insular possession with the other American notions. According to his statement, all these vegetables had been planted Jan. 8 and were in full growth for the opening of the fair. "The name of this young man is Felix Reina, and he was formerly a student at Tuskegee institute, a significant fact in this connection. That he also worked for a short time in the office of the New York Age while waiting to return to his home in Porto Rico does not lessen the interest of the story." Business Men to Meet in Waco June 4. The annual meeting of the Texas State Negro Business league will be held in Waco, Tex. for two days beginning on Wednesday, June 4. Both colored and white citizens of the town are interested in the plans which have already been mapped out for the entertainment of delegates and visitors to the meeting COTTRILL MAKES FRIENDS. Internal Revenue Collector Wina Public Favor In Honolulu. Honolulu, Hawaii.—The Hon. Charles A. Cottrell, collector of internal revenue, District of Hawaii, is referred to by the Pacific Commercial Advertiser of Honolulu as "a 'mailhini' who has made good." A "malhini" is a foreigner. Recently Mr. Cottrell delivered an excellent address on the subject, "Armstrong and Hampton," at the unveiling of a tablet to General Samuel Chapman Armstrong in Pauahi hall, Oahu college, where the great apostle of education for the American Negro and Indian received his early training. The following quotations from the Commercial Advertiser tell the story: "It was fortunate that there should be at this particular time in Hawaii so worthy a representative of the race that Armstrong fought to free. "Looking back to those few weeks between the time of the announcement of the Cottrill appointment to the position of collector of internal revenue for this territory and remembering the opposition there was locally to his appointment because he is of Negro blood and contrasting the sentiments then expressed with the applause he received from the leading white and Hawaiian residents of Honolulu and the friendliness toward him evinced on every hand, it is plain that Mr. Cottrill has not only been an efficient official, but has shown himself to be a man able to gain a high place for himself in public esteem." The Civic federation of Honolulu in 1906 proposed to erect at Punahou a memorial to General Armstrong. The Armstrong committee selected a basrelief in bronze, the work of an English artist. A. Bertram Pegram, which is a replica of one in marble at the Hampton institute in Virginia. THE JENKINS ORPHANAGE. Great Work of Uplift Being Done, Commissioners Believe. In concluding their annual report on the work and present condition of the Jenkins orphanage, Charleston, S. C., the city commissioners had the following to say: "The institutions founded by the Rev. D. J. Jenkins and maintained by his unremitting labors have taken hundreds of Negro children from the slums and gutters of Charleston, given them some rudiments of industrial training and enabled many of them to lead lives not unuseful to this community. "It is futile to say that his efforts at rescue and improvements have not always proved successful. The fact remains that the efforts themselves are worth the making, and the results in a vast majority of cases have been as satisfactory as could reasonably have been expected. "That 50 per cent of the total cost of these institutions is defrayed by work done by the inmates themselves is a convincing testimonial to the opportunities afforded the children in them to fit themselves for a better citizenship than they might even have achieved had they not been consigned to the care of the Jenkins institution. "In making this statement at this time we feel that we are discharging a duty devolving upon us as citizens, as well as officials, to whom the public may look for information regarding institutions to which the city council of Charleston gives the countenance of an annual appropriation.—John Marshall, I'On L. Rhetta, A. J. Riley, W. H. Cogswell, Frank R. Frost, Chairman." HAMPTON INSTITUTE PLANS EXTENSIVE SUMMER CRUISE Three Races Represented In Coming Sea Voyage to Bar Harbor. The Hampton Institute of Virginia has purchased through Tams, Lemonie and Crane the Chesapeake bug eye Dixle. Therefore the open air festivals and minstrel performances held on the lawns at Newport, Bar Harbor and other seaside resorts in the summer of 1912 will be repeated in new form the coming season. More than $20,000 was raised by the Hampton students during their ninety-one days' march through eight states last year. In 1913, instead of marching, they will cruise from port to port on board their bug eye. The Dixie is ninety feet long, with a beam of twenty-one feet and equipped with a sixty horsepower motor. The crew includes a Zulu prince, Indians and twenty Negroes, all possessed of good voices. They will leave Hampton in May, and New York is to be the first port of call. The voyage is to be made in a quest for gold, and every port from New York to Bar Harbor will afford a point of attack. It will be an effort to raise the money which congress failed to appropriate for the school at Hampton. When the Dixie's crew has sung its way from Hampton to Bar Harbor all must lose their sea legs and take to the warpath across the White mountains to the interior, where traces of gold are to be found. Anxiety For "Aunt" Harriet Tubman. Harriet Tubman, of underground railroad fame, according to reports from Auburn, N. Y., March 12, is seriously ill from the ravages of pneumonia and not expected to survive many days longer. "Aunt Harriet," as she is familiarly called by her friends, is nearing the century mark. She was intimately acquainted with John Brown, Lincoln, William H. Seward and many other noted men of their day. Much anxiety is felt for the aged race benefactor. | Miles J.
