The COLORED American NATIONAL REGRO NEWSPAPER PLAN NEGRO SCHOOL. Industrial Training on Lines of Tuskegee Institute—Site Secured at Laurel -Rev. Ernest Lyon of John Wesley, M. E. Church, Who Heads the Project Gives Details of the Course. Plans to establish an industrial school for colored youths near Laurel, Md., on the lines of the institution at Tuskegee, Ala., have, according to Rev. Dr. Ernest Lyon, pastor of John Wesley Methodist Episcopal church, of this city, so for progressed as to make the promoters confident of early realization of their project. The papers for incorporation and the charter have been drawn up. The site, Dr Lyon states, has been purchased, and he fully expects to see the school open its doors before winter comes. The site which Dr. Lyon says has been secured comprises about 85 acres on the outskirts of Laurel and one and one-fourth miles from the Baltimore and Ohio railroad station. It is near Patuxent river and overlooks four counties—Prince George's, Anne Arundel, Montgomery and Howard. Upon the land is a commodious 18 room house, with numerous outbuildings. MANY APPROVE THE IDEA. Abot two years ago Dr. Lyon says he became interested in the idea of starting an industrial school in the state and talked with Messrs. Lawrence Turnbull, James A Gary, George R Galther and others. They heartily indorsed his plan, he says. This encouraged him, and to gain a better idea of the most improved methods of conducting an institution of this kind he visited many of the southern schools. Several other ministers and influential men of both races in Baltimore and other cities in the state became interested in the idea, and since then Dr. Lyon has with their assistance been laboring to secure a site for the school. During that time many letters of encouragement and indorsement from both the clergy and influential men of the state have been received by Dr. Lyon, and he has by this means been encouraged very much in his undertaking. The diversity of religious denominations which have heartily indorsed the idea shows that there is no sectarian jealousy. That the idea is also approved heartily by the whiles is also shown by the unsoncited praise and encouragement contained in letters shown by Dr. Lyon, among the writers being the following: Ex-Gov. Lloyd Lowndes, J. B. Scott, colored, editor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate; John Wilson Brown, president Annapolis Short Line Railroad; J. H. Murphy, colored, editor of the Airo-American Ledger; W. H. Brooks, colored, pastor of St. Mark's Methodist Episcopal church, the largest colored church in New York; Dr J W. E Bowen, professor of the Gamma Sch ol of theology, and who was a candidate for the episcopacy at the last conference; M. W. Clair, presiding elder of the Washington District Methodist Episcopal church; H. A Monroe, colored, of the General Conference Missionary Society; James A. WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY, JULY 6, 1901.

Smith, secretary Sharp Street Memorial church and many others. All of the writers assured Dr. Lyon of their hearty support and approval. ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION. A short time ago at a meeting called by Dr Lyon of the men who were most vitally interested in the work articles of incorporation were drawn up under the name of the Maryland Industrial and Agricultural School, with the following incorporators: Ernest Lyon, McHenry J. Naylor, Singleton R. Hughes, Albert Johnson. Samuel R. Bishop, John H. Butler, William M. Alexander, John Hurst and Jo eph H. Norris The certificate sets forth that the corporation is formed for the establishment and maintenance of a school for the purpose of teaching colored boys and girls in any art or science which the trustees may deem advisable and (Continued on page 4.) PRICE FIVE CENTS. A VERSATILE GENIUS. A South Carolina Leader Who Has Won Distinction in Three Callings—A Prophet With Honor in His Own Country—His Career and His Successes—The New South. This is the Augustian age in American history. It is the age of invention, of progress and of the highest development along all lines. It is also the age of great men. This last statement is particularly true when applied to the latter emancipated millions of the South. What wonders have been wrought in forty years, what progress the Negro race has made in that time, stands without a parallel in the world's history. There is today in the South armies of school teachers, of preachers and of professional men of all kinds. While the progress has been great along every avenue of progress and development, no profession can claim greater progress than that of the Negro publishers. Today more than five hundred newspapers, magazines and pamphlets issued regularly, are being published by colored people and in the interest of colored people. In the state of South Carolina alone more than thirty colored newspapers are published. One of the strongest forces in this bright galaxy of opinion moulders is Mr. C. P. I. White, editor of the Rock Hill Messenger, published at Rock Hill, S. C. Mr. White is well known not only as an editor but has won a high reputation as a minister of the gospel, as a politician of no mean ability and as an orator of eloquence and power. To read his history is to read that of thousands of young men who have grown up Phoenix like since emancipation. He was born in Chester, county, S. C., June 20th, 1866, the fifteon of Mr. and Mrs. David White. He received his primary training in the country school and entered Brainard Institute, Chester S.C., in the fall of 1883. He received his higher training at Saw University, Raleigh, N.C. Before graduation he accepted the professorship in the Friendship Institute, Rock Hill S.C., in the fall of 1892, but he resigned in 1894 to accept the principalship of the Fort Mill Graded School. He began the publication of the Messenger Jan. 10th, 1896, which has continued every since. In 1898 he was appointed Notary Public by Governor Ellerbee. He was elected secretary of the Fifth Congressional District of South Carolina in 1900, which position he now holds. Fire destroyed the Messenger plant in April 1898 completely which was a total loss. He married Miss Lizzie Moore, of Charlotte, N. C., June 6th 1894 and one sweet little boy has come to bring sunshine and happiness to the family: The success of Mr. White is an example of what brain and pluck can accomplish. While still a young man he has the respect and confidence of all who know him. The beneficial society excursion to Richmond last Saturday was a grand success. 10 SENATOR FORAKER'S HAND. He Speaks out in Open Meeting and Sounds the Keynote-A Plea for an Honest Ballot and a Fair Count. Mr. Editor-While the endorsement of the state and national administrations, the demonstration of perfect machine action, the nomination of a strong ticket and the adoption of a good platform were commendable features of the Ohio Republican State Convention, they are completely eclipsed by the brilliant speech and bold pronouncement by Senator Joseph Benson Foraker, who, at a single bound, becomes the idol of the colored electors, North, South East, and West, who speaks out in open court to his party and to his country, in the plain, foreful and eloquent language following: THE SAME OLD DEMOCRACY. "The controlling spirit of Democracy means this year just what it meant last year. We could not indorse it then; neither can we indorse it now. If we would continue our prosperity, we must uphold the policies that gave it to us. If we would maintain our national credit and preserve our financial honor we must keep out of power the party that destroyed the one and threatened the other. This is no time to dally with free trade, revive free silver, or pet Populism. "Neither is it time to show indifference to the wrong the Democratic party is committing in the Southern States against the black man, whom it is robbing of his suffrage under the forms of constitutional amendments and legal enactment that are in violation of the Constitution of the United States. This is worse, if possible, than the inhuman lynchings of which we read almost daily, because it is without provocation and is a blow aimed both at a class and the government of a nation. "Constituted authority must find a way to supress these wrongs, or the government will deserve to lose the support of a race that has shed its blood for our flag in every war and upon almost every field where it has way d Brave, heroic, gallant men were they who, sde by side with their white comrades, have borne our flag to victory in all our wars. They helped us to conquer our independence, to from our independence, to form our Union, to preserve our national life, to carry liberty and freedom to Cuba, and to plant our banner in victory on the islands of the seas. They are entitled to the protection of the government for which they have so bravely fought." The above strong plea for justice is but the cry of the soul of a distinguished lawyer, an erudite politician, a diplomatic statesman and an intellectual giant. These words will sink deep into the hearts of manly men everywhere and will be rewarded by the everlasting gratitude of the colored people everywhere. HENRY Y. ARNETT. Washington, D. C., June 25, 1901. Mrs. Pheebe Hearst's Generosity. Mrs. Senator Hearst who has taken such an active interest in kindergarten work among the colored as well as the white teachers in the District and who gave the colored teachers of Washington such an elegant luncheon not long ago, is spending her vacation in California. She is never too busy, however, to do a kind and generous act for her friends. Mr. Joseph H. Holmes, her steward, celebrated his twenty-fifth anniversary not long ago and Mrs. Hearst was sent an invitation. Just this week an elegant silver service, consisting of a case of table ware knives and forks, etc. with initials, was sent to Mr. and Mrs. Holmes as a remembrance of their twenty fifth anniversary. The service was encased in a white plush box with THE COLORED AMERICAN, WASHINGTON, D. C. BACK TO LINCOLN. Prof. Page Returns to his First Love- Mrs. Yates Class of Girl Graduates.

Editor of Colored American, Dear Sir-On the 8th instant I received a letter from Grassendale, Liverpool, England, with a money order enclosed for 2 lbs. 1 s. and 8 p. as a contribution towards the relief of Afro-American fire sufferers in this city. The letter simply said "From an Afro-American, May 24th." But I succeeded in ascertaining the name of the sender through the Post Office Department, and found that it was from Anna Langley. As she sent no address, I don't know how to reach her with a letter of thanks, so take this method of acknowledging its receipt, and returning thanks to the generous but modest lady.

The Colored American Leads in Character and Quality-Letters From all Parts of the World-Must Have it—"She Makes me Pay," "Next to the Bible" in Interest-Growing More in Favor Day by Day. The publication of The Colored American began, eight years ago to make it just what it is today—the leading colored journal of the world. It has succeeded. You can stick a pin here. The rise of the paper to its present position of leadership has been steady—not artificial, up today and down tomorrow, it has steadily grown in favor, not be cause of personal reason, not at all, but because it sought the news of the progress of the Negro throughout the world and the states particularly, and gave it to the people, and the letters below are only those that are sincere, following the success of the publication, coming from the hearts of a grateful people. The Colored American today has the largest circulation of any colored paper in the country and the books stand open to prove the fact. This is not braggidocio, but the simple truth, and the time has come to tell it. The paper is original in the extreme. and withal is an encyclopedia for numbers of papers whose managers fall to credit The Colored American. The editor has ably defended the race at every turn. Nothing discourages, but the least resistance makes the paper in all departments reach higher and still higher. The best staff of writers of the race is employed here and elsewhere. Right here has the owner succeeded. The managers feel indeed grateful to the host of people of both races who appreciate their efforts. People of both races well understand the fact that this is an up-to-date newspaper, which since its debut has brought successful Negroes to the front in contrast to the bad element which delight the white papers to publish. The Colored American's influence is unbounded. The colored people throughout the country look to it for defense and they get it too. No wavering, but straight forward republican ever supporting the party which stands for liberty and against disfranchising the Negro in the South. The letters below are only a few of the many, which flood the offices of The Colored American each week. GROWING MORE INTERESTING.

He Was Promptly Convicted For His Share in Wrecking a Vermont Bank, and Is Serving a Term of Seven Years in Prison. Washington, June 26.—The president yesterday pardoned Charles W. Mussey, former cashier of the National bank, of Rutland, Vt., who was convicted last year of the misapplication of $100,000 of the funds of the bank and sentenced to seven years in the house of correction. Mussey did not benefit by the misapplication of the funds, but permitted a friend financially irresponsible to overdraw to the amount stated. This showing, together with the fact that he is critically ill, induced the president to grant his application for pardon. District Attorney James L. Martin, in reporting on the case to the department of justice, said that Mussey had been cashier for nearly 15 years and always maintained an excellent reputation, but was decidedly weak in resisting personal appeals, and especially from those he regarded as friends. Martin added: "Some time in 1893 Marvin A McClure, a personal friend, and then a man of good standing, applied to the bank for a loan of $3,000. The finance committee declined to make the loan, whereupon McClure, by personal appeal, prevailed upon Mussey to let him have the money, with a solemn promise that it would be promptly paid when due, and with the understanding that the loan should be kept from the knowledge of the directors. Subsequent events proved that McClure was a rascal. He got Mussey into his power by this first loan and held him there until the bank was practically ruined by loans made to McClure." When the crookedness was discovered Mussey told the whole truth. He never profited a dollar by the transactions and what little he had saved from his annual salary of $1,500 was promptly turned over to the receiver. He is today a man of absolute poverty. Ever since his arrest he has done everything in his power to assist the receiver of the bank and the government. McClure was subsequently arrested for aiding and abetting in the misapplication of the funds, and was promptly convicted and sentenced to seven years' imprisonment. The Speedy Columbia. New York, June 26. It is safe to say that not since the yachts Vigilant and Ailsa were built have they received such a crushing defeat as that administered yesterday by the sloop Columbia. It was on Long Island sound in the race for the Glen Cove cups, offered by the New York Yacht club, and in a strong and steady breeze. Many who watched Columbia yesterday agree that she is many minutes faster than two years ago, when she met the Shamrock I. Although she was to allow the Vigilant 20 minutes over a 30 mile course, the Columbia defeated her by 19 minutes, 55 seconds, and the Ailsa by 22 minutes, 19 seconds in sailing only 15 miles, for the race was stopped at the end of the first round of the course.

ADELBERT HAY'S DEATH ADELBERT HAY'S DEATH The Sudden Affliction Which Comes Upon Secretary Hay. KILLED BY FALL FROM A WINDOW The Ex-Consul to Pretoria Was in New Haven to Take Part in Commencement Week at Yale, as a Leader in the Class of '98. New Haven, June 24. — Adelbert Stone Hay, former consul of the United States at Pretoria, South Africa, and eldest son of Secretary of State John Hay, fell from a window in the third story of the New Haven House in this city shortly before 2:30 o'clock yesterday morning, and was instantly killed. The dead man was a graduate of Yale, of the class of '98, and his death occurred on the eve of the university commencement, which brought him here Saturday and in which, by virtue of his class office, the young man would have been one of the leaders. The full details of the terrible accident will never be known. It is generally supposed, however, that after going to his room he went to the window for air and, sitting on the sill, I THE LATE ADELBERT S. HAY. he dosed off and, overbalancing, fell to the pavement below—a fall of fully 60 feet. The fall resulted in instant death, and within 15 minutes the body had been identified as that of young Hay. Young Hay was one of the vanguard of the academic class of Yale '98. He had come to his old college town as a member of his class triennial committee and arrived early to assist his colleagues on the committee in preparing for the festivities of commencement week in general and for the class supper in particular. He took dinner with some of his classmates, and at 8 o'clock hurried to the Hyperion theater, where he witnessed the evening performance. He spent a quiet hour in the hotel corridor and smoking room after the theater, and shortly after midnight retired to his room, remarking to the hotel clerk that he was sleepy and leaving a call for 9 o'clock in the morning. He was not seen again until his body came whirling through the air to its destruction. The body was clad in pajamas. Secretary Hay, worn by the trip of nearly nine hours from Washington to New Haven, and nearly prostrated by grief at the untimely end of his oldest son, reached this city at 5:45 o'clock last evening. He was accompanied by his secretary, Mr. Whitney, and was met at the station by R. L. McDuffle, of New York city, and Mr. Charles Wade, of Cleveland. dealer and ret it.

BE NOT DECEIVED TO THE COLORED PEOPLE OF AMERICA King of all Hair Tonics, "OZONO." BEFORE. CHRISTOPHER ENG CO. RICHMOND, VOL. AFTER. BEFORE. AFTER. TRADE-MARK. Recognizing the fact that there are many SO CALLED hair-growers and hair-straighteners now on the market, and knowing to a certainty that many of these are frauds pure and simple, we wish to make a straight-forward, honest statement to the colored race through this great paper. In the year 1871 our late secretary, Mrs. S. M. Moore, through a fortunate circumstance, acquired the receipt for OZONO. It was not offered for sale or purchase to any extent until 1875, when it was put upon the market and met with marked success. After a thorough test by the colored people of that time it was pronounced an honest, legitimate remedy, true to all that was claimed for it, and worthy in every respect of the confidence of every member of the colored race, because they found it to cause the hair to grow long and straight, soft and fine, and as beautiful as an April morning. Now, whenever a genuine article appears upon the market there are always a number of people who imitate and make capital out of the merits of other people's goods. Seeing our marked success, numerous firms have entered the market, offering hair-growers and hair-straighteners, many of which are worthless, causing the hair to fall out and doing great damage to the hair and scalp, and the colored people are buying these spurious compounds, which are filled with animal fats, and do the hair more harm than good. To these let us sound a warning—be careful what you use on your hair. Do not be deceived by flaring advertisements and big words. Buy the King of all Hair Tonics. be used on the scalp. And, lastly, to prove our liberality, we will put in a pint package of Anti-Odor, a positive cure for Sore Throat or Mouth, all forms of Womb Diseases, Chilblains, Sore and Frosted Feet; also removes all smells and odors arising from the human body, such as feet, arm pits, etc. The actual value of this Grand Aggregation is $4.00, but we let you have it for $1.00, simply to introduce honest goods. In order to protect the public in general from imitations of our goods, and to avoid mistakes, we have placed upon our coupon our Trade-Mark, one head showing Short Hair and the other head Long Hair. The U. S. Government has granted us this trade-mark, and it is registered in the Patent Office at Washington; so if the coupon has this trade-mark on it, you will make no mistake. Use only the coupon having the two heads on it. As to our responsibility, we refer you to the Editor of this paper or to the Metropolitan Bank of Richmond, Va. We have thousands of testimonials we have not space to publish. Here is a sample of one: Boston Chemical Company: Dear Sirs,—You are at liberty to state in any newspaper that I have used OZONO, and give it my most hearty recommendation. I have been fooled so often, it does me good to recommend honest goods. MAGGIE B. PROCTOR, Here is another: Box 114, Fairfield, Texas. Gentlemen,—After using OZONO a short while only, I am glad to say that my hair is already straight and growing finely. which is sold with an iron-clad guarantee to do all that is claimed for it, or we will forfeit $50.00. Now, we ask you a plain question—would we absolutely agree to forfeit $50.00 if you are dissatisfied with our preparations, if they were not true to all we claim for them? We have advertised for several years under this guarantee, and we are glad to say that every one who has used Ozono has been satisfied in every respect. A last word. OZONO is absolutely guaranteed to straighten hair and cause a beautiful and luxurious growth. If your hair is already straight, you can use it to secure a glossy long growth. Buy only the genuine "OZONO." Send us $1.00 at once, and the goods will be sent the same day we receive your order. 20,000 people are to-day using our preparations, and every purchaser recommends Ozono as the King of all Hair Tonics. Ozono will positively take the Kinks out of Knotty, Kinky, Harsh, Curly, Refractory, Troublesome Hair. It will make short, harsh hair long and straight. It will cure your head of all itching, worrying scalp diseases. Itch, Eczema, Dandruff, and Scurf can not live after Ozono has been applied. It will stop your hair from falling out. It will restore gray hair to its natural color, making the hair long and soft. PRESIDENT MARK BEFORE AFTER Boston Chemical Co., Now, right here, let us make a statement. Many firms are advertising remedies to straighten hair, but when they send the preparation they tell you to use hot irons. Friends, do not use hot irons; they will burn up the life of the hair, and cause it to drop out. Ozono straightens without any outside assistance. Nothing but Ozono is necessary, and the hair stays straight forever. You can stop the use at any time.

It is generally conceded that the meeting held in Boston last August was one of the most successful gatherings ever held in the history of the race, and that it gave an encouragement and impetus to the race in all lines of business in a way that is now apparent in all parts of the country. It is earnestly hoped that the meeting in Chicago will even surpass the Boston meeting in point of attendance, in interest, and in permanent value. The citizens of Chicago are enthusiastic over the prospect of the meeting and s and ready to give those who attend it a cordial welcome Aside from the matter of special reduced rates over the various railroads, reduced rates granted in connection with the Buffalo Pan-American Exposition will offer unusual opportunities to reach Chicago at small expense. Any person engaged in any commercial enterprise or properly delegated to represent any individual or individuals engaged in commercial enterprise, is entitled to membership under such regulations as may be adopted. Women as well as men engaged in business should be represented. It is strongly urged that Local Business Leagues be established in every part of the country where no such leagues now exist and those already organized be strengthened wherever necessary, and that these local leagues send delegates, as far as possible, to the National organization, and keep in close touch during the year with the officers of the National organization; that their local organizations hold meetings monthly as far as practical; that everything possible be done in these local organizations to discourage complicated and useless parliamentary machinery, and that parliamentary and technical discussions be avoided, as far as possible, with a view to concentrating time and strength on the real objects of the organization. Every one engaged in business owes it to himself to take a week or more of vacation each year for the purpose of rest and recreation and for the purpose of getting new ideas. It is the desire of the officers of the League to make a large exhibit of photographs at Chicago of the places of business of our people as well as of the persons engaged in business. These photographs should show both outside and inside views as far as possible, and they should be forwarded to the President of the League at Tuskegee, Alabama, as early as convenient. The proceedings of the Boston meeting have been published in book form by Mr. J. R. Hamm, 46 Howard street, Boston, Massachusetts. A copy of this volume should be in the hands of every Negro in the country who is engaged in business, or who is expecting to enter business. The time has come for the race to take along step forward in establishing itself THE COLORED AMERICAN, WASHINGTON, D. C. permanently and more generally in the business of the community where it resides. Let no legislation or attempted legi tion discourage or dishearten us. There should be no doubting or halting. Every move should be a forward one. To gain recognition and success we may have to struggle harder and longer than others, but out of the very struggle we shall gain a strength that we can get in no other way. The influence and power of intelligence, high character and high standing in the business word, are sure to place the race in the end in a position where it will be honored and treated with justice in every part of the land. Let our watchword constantly be, "FORWARD," BOOKERT WASHINGTON, President, Tuskegee, Alabama. T. THOMAS FORTUNE, Chairman, Executive Committee, 4 Cedar street N. Y. E. E COOPER, Secretary, 459 C street, northwest, Washington, D. C L'iterature That Will Live. Editor The Colored American—The literary address is generally stamped with distinction of form; it is often a classic in literature as well as oratory. This touch of art is imported to it in some cases by the material with which it deals, and in more by the skill of the speaker. As a rule, literary themes fall into the hands of Negroes familiar with the best literary models and skilled in the art of writing. A glance at the list of contributors to The Colored American brings into clear view the literary accomplishments of Afro-American speakers and the prominence of literary quality in their work. There have been many effective, successful and eminently useful Negro lecturers whose utterances have perished with them; Negroes who used the platform for high ends, but who were concerned primarily with the contents of their thought and conviction rather than with the expression; who addressed themselves to the immediate rather than the remote audience, and who endeavored to make the most of the moment, indifferent to the judgment of the future. Much of the most effective and characteristic work done on the platform has had this quality of immediate but ephemeral impressiveness it was planned, shaped and presented with nice adjustment to time, place, and hearers: and in touching deeply feeling of the hour, stimulating its thought, awakening its conscience and dissipating its weariness, it served a wholesome and worthy end. EDWARD BAKER. Seattle, Washington, Cape May News. Cape May, N. J., Special—The exercises of the Macedonia Literary Association consisted of of recitations by Mrs. Norma Woodson, Misses Mallie Bolden and Rosie Edmunds and Mr. Joseph Ruffin, and a debate, subject: "Private Property in Land is Uujust and Originated in Either Farce or Fraud" affirmative, Mr. W. E Frank's, negative, Mr. Samuel Hiram. Mr. Walter Howard, a promineht Odd Fellow of this city departed this life Tuesday the 18th, and was buried Friday the 21st, Mr. Howard leaves a widow and three children. Mr. T. Harry Mitchell, the popular mixologist at Dale's is much sought after. Mr. Thomas Gorgus of Philadelphia arrived this week and is located at Congress Hall. The cottages are filling fast. Arrivals at The Griffin cottage: Mrs. Emma Harris and Miss Alberta Durham of Philadelphia. Mr. Robert F. Tyler sang "It is Well With My Soul" with telling effect at the funeral of Mr. Howard. Dr. Chilcoat a Benedict. The mysterious absence of Dr. Julius J. Chilcoat from the city for the past few weeks is accounted for. The happy bride comes from one of the best and wealthiest families of Mississippi 1 the interesting event took place on the 5th instant, at the bride's house, Okolona, Miss. The present were costly and numerous and all auspices presage a pleasant life voyage. Dr. Chilcoat can rest well assured of the hearty congratulations of his host of friends, and the charming bride, the best wishes for a rose-strewn pathway. The invitations read: "At home after July 1, 2010 3rd street, n. w., Washington, D. C." Dr. Garrett, The Dentist, Dr. A. C. Garret, whose office is in the Burdeck block, 129 West Second street, has one of the best equipped dental offices in the city. His instruments and apparatus are all of the latest patents. A recent visit to his office brought so forcibly to our mind the advancement made by the colored people since the emancipation. It is impossible for any one to appreciate this so well as we who were formerly slaves and felt the hopelessness of our condition just previous to the breaking out of the civil war. The doctor is a graduate of the Howard University, Washington, D. C.-The Liberator, Los Angles, Cal. A COLORED MAN'S BIG INCOME. His Success in Life Disclosed by a Divorce Suit. In answer to the charges made by James Ottoway Holmes, who asks for a divorce on statutory grounds, his wife, Sarah Holmes, denies each and every allegation in the bill of complaint. Mrs. Holmes, through her counsel, Edward G. Niles, also filed a petition asking the court to allow her permanent alimony in the sum of $200 a month and attorney's fees in the sum of $500. Mrs. Holmes states that her husband is one of the wealthiest colored men in Washington and owns personal property valued at $110 00 and real estate to the value of $40,000. Her husband, Mrs. Holmes states, conducts a restaurant and hotel in this city, from which he derives an income of between $800 and $1 000 a month. She also declares that he receives a rental of $175 a month from real estate.

The institution is to be managed by 15 trustees, 14 of whom are as follows: Ernest Lyon, McHenry J. Naylor Singleton R. Hughes, Albert Johnson Samuel R. Bishop, Edward F. Eggleston, William M. Alexander, Joseph H. Norris, John Hurst, Moses Lake John H. Butier, Henry Carroll, Richard T Eves Harry S Cammings and Henry A. Monroe. The incorporators placed the management of the project in Dr. Lyon's hands. A few weeks ago Dr. Lyon says the P. REV. ERNEST LYON. Incorporators settled upon the site near Laurel, at a cost of $5 800, after several others had been examined. The purchase money was nearly all paid out of their own means by the Rev. Dr Lyon, promoter of the school; Rev M J Naylor, pastor of the Lynchburg African Church, and Rev. S R Hughes, pastor of the Magothy African Methodist Episcopal Church. Dr. Lyon says there is yet a balance due, but it is secured by the subscriptions of 20 other friends of the idea the land belonged to the Thomas D. Bond estate. PLAN OF TEACHING Dr. Lyon yesterday said: 'Our idea is to teach the boys and girls to work J. with their hands at the same time the r minds are being drilled into the rudiments of knowledge. The especial feature of the school will be the agricultural training of partners. We intend t brow the entire tract of land in one large farm where all the various branches of modern farming, from the growing of a potato to the chemical analysis of artificial fertilizing matt r, THE COLORED AMERICAN, WASHINGTON, D. C. will be thoroughly covered by experts upon such subjects. The uses of modra machinery will also be taught At the same time this agricultural P. course is being pursued the boys and girls will be learning how to read and write and even going into higher mathematics and the languages, graduating from the college with degrees and fully competent to succeed fully conduct a farm, no matter in what state of fertility they find it. In the other branches of the school for the practical education of the young men and boys will be carpentering shoemaking, blacksmithing tailoring, shipbuilding, masonry and many other pursuits. "In the female departments sewing, cooking and general housework will be taught beside book knowledge. "When students leave our school they need not be afraid to enter into the battle of life. We think the element of relaxation from actual study and changing every day from the confinement of the school room to the manual labor on the farm will prove an attractive feature to the average colored boy or HON J. M. CARGILL, M. D. gir, and no difficulty is ancipated in interesting the young people. The tuition fees will be very small—as small as the expenses of the institution will permit. We hope to get the interest of every Maryland attracted to the institution, and we hope they will endow the college with enough funds to make the tuition fee exremely low. "There will be no age limit to the students, and men who wish, to attend the college course will be at liberty to do so. The present buildings upon the land can be used during the present year and when enough funds are available to build a college they can be used as dormitories. "By fall we expect to be in a position to begin actual work in the educational line. Next spring we expect to take up the farming idea and we anticipate students than the limited space of our present quarters will accommodate."—The Baltimore Sun. Absorbed by the Pennsylvania. Philadelphia, June 26.—The actual purchaser of the underwriting syndicate's holdings of the Pennsylvania Steel company's stocks was made public yesterday by Effingham B. Morris, a member of the executive committee of the company, and one of those who negotiated the sale. The purchaser was the Pennsylvania company, owned and controlled by the Pennsylvania Railroad company. Mr. Morris also announced that the Pennsylvania company had secured a controlling interest in the Cambria Steel company. St. Louis, June 26. At its regular monthly meeting the board of directors of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition company unanimously adopted the report of the executive committee, which has selected the Forest Park site as its choice for the location of the world's fair, to be held in this city in 1903. It is not thought that there will be any delay in the ratification of the action of the local directors. The site covers 1,118 acres, one-third more space than was used by the Chicago exposition. Clark Will Contest His Claim. Butte, Mont., June 26.—Speaking of the suit instituted against him by United States District Attorney Rogers, at Helena, to set aside patents for 10,000 acres of valuable land in Missoula county, alleged to have been filed upon for speculative purposes, Senator William A. Clark said last night: "I was an innocent purchaser of these lands for a valuable consideration, and I maintain that the government cannot cancel the titles nor interfere with my rights." Exploding Fireworks Kill Seventeen. Paterson, N. J., June 22.—Seventeen people were killed, nine seriously hurt and a dozen others received injuries as the result of a fire following an explosion among a quantity of fireworks in the store of Abraham M.

Mrs. Cordelia Botkin's New Trial. San Francisco, June 26.—The case of Mrs. Cordelia Botkin, under life sentence for the murder of Mrs. Elizabeth Dunning at Dover, Del., was called in court yesterday for the purpose of fixing a date for a new trial. After some legal sparring the case went over until next Saturday. In passing the case Judge Cook remarked that the witnesses from Delaware will be brought here. Expelled For Disloyalty to the King. Melbourne, Victoria, June 26.—Amid scenes of excitement in the crowded galleries the federal assembly yesterday, by a vote of 64 to 17, expelled Mr. Findlay, editor of a local labor organ, for republishing in his paper the article from The Irish People, of Dublin, dated May 10, violently attacking King Edward, which caused the seizure of the last mentioned weekly periodical Railroad War in Ohio. Findlay, O., June 26.—Because a section gang on the B. and O. tore up a newly paved street at North Baltimore yesterday a general riot followed. A mob of about 200, comprising many merchants and prominent people, charged the workmen and drove them from the street, pelting them with stones and clubs. A guard was left, but in a short time the workmen again went to work. This time the citizens forced issues, pulled the village hand fire engine to the scene and played several streams of water on the workmen. A renewal of hostilities is promised if the railroad insists on laying its tracks on the forbidden ground.

When but a youth he engaged as an apprentice in a printing office located in the old Union Depot. He continued in his chosen profession, receiving employment in some of the largest establishments in the city. A little over a year ago he engaged in business for himself under the style and name of the Excelsior Print Company. His success is shown conclusively by the fact that he expects to procure a larger press SWEET SOUTHERN SINGERS. An Elquent Magic Lantern and Rev. H. Charles Pope A Picture of Tuskegee The Afro-Ameoican Council and the National Negro Business League-Tom Browns Skit-Local Dashes. Hartford, Conn. — (Special.) — The Rev. H. C. Pope appeared two nights with his stereopticon views before crowded houses at the A. M. E. Zion Church, June 24 and 25. It was a grand success in every way. Notwithstanding the thermoterer was way up in the nineties and the audience had to use fans vigorously to keep cool, they sat throughout the entire programme. Not one left until the last song was sung and the last picture was thrown on the canvas. Mrs. Emma Jackson, of Elizabeth, N. J., is in the city, the guest of her sister, Mrs. James Washington, No. 6 Gilman street. She will spend the summer here in the capital city. Mr. Dennis Scott, of 38 Wadsmouth street, is doing a thriving ice business. A beautiful cut of the grounds and buildings of Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute adorns the window front of Mr. G.

You will find a cut and also sketch of Mr. Williams in a book printed of that meeting. Mr. V. E. Davis, of 300 Farmington avenue, will organize another society of True Reformers. With the new clubs in this city may we not look for a large hall, owned and controlled by colored people? What is the matter with the secret societies in Hartford?

The Harpers and Tom Browne hold the open air theater at Capital Park this week, in a new musical comedy called "The Turf Advisor." The work is by Browne and Mullin. Cake walks, cotton pickings and the like are foreign to it. Instead, it shows the negro as a real entertainer. It is bright with pleasing music, and concludes with a thirty-minute tour of grand and comic operas. Admission is free to trolley patrons. The Union Sunday School services for the second quarter were held at the Union Baptist Church on Sunday. Rev. Robert F. Wheeler, of the Talcott Street Congregational Church, was master of ceremonies. The programme was very interesting, and included a recitation from the Zion Church by Miss Elsie Taylor, a reci- tation from Talcott Street Church by Miss Sadie Thompson, and a paper from the Union Baptist Church by Mr. Simon Phillips. Each Sunday school sang two selections. The next meeting will be held on the last Sunday in September, and will be conducted by John S. Taylor, at the Talcott Street Congregational Church. The Shiloh Baptist Church and the Talcott Street Congregational Church will join in a union excursion to Highland Lakes on July 25. Fare for the sound trip: Adults, $1; children, 50 cents. Beginning with the first Sunday in July, the evening services will be discontinued at the Talcott Street Congregational Church until further notice. The morning service will be held as usual at 10:45. Don't forget the County Club's expulsion to Highland Lakes on July 11. Rev. J. S. Cooper is putting forth manly efforts to liquidate the debt on the church, and the friends and membership are answering the call. The first of a series of rallies was last Sunday, and a grand financial success it was. A more liberal and loyal people cannot be found anywhere in New England. The Colored American is manufacturing synonyms: Hartford equivalent to New Haven. Well, Mr. Editor, it is a pity your printers should make such mistakes! It is awful that no other State in the Union could furnish printers outside of the "Old North State." The warm weather is telling on pastor and congregation. Zion's pulpit was filled Sunday evening by Mr. Streetre, a local. The morning services were interesting, the pastor officiating. Clafflin University singers will come to Hartford this week, and treat is promised. Mr. L. L. Davis, of No. 6 Highland street, will spend the summer in Lynn, Conn. W. H. G. THE PROVIDENCE (R.I) NEWS. Active Work Among the Zionites- Death's Doings-Notes Providence, R. I.—(Special.)—A very enthusiastic gathering was in attendance at the People's A. M. E. Zion Church on Wednesday evening, June 26, to participate in the reception tendered the new pastor, Rev. W. J. Holland and his family. The stewards and stewardesses of the church had made ample preparations for the occasion, and their efforts were rewarded by a most successful affair. The reception exercises were begun in the auditorium, where the several pastors of the city churches made addresses welcoming Rev. Holland to our city, and expressed sincere desires for the existence of a united fellowship throughout their continuance in this place. In connection with this part of the exercises the choirs of the different churches aided in the festivities by the rendition of several vocal selections, at the close of which the friends retired to the vestry, where a sumptuous banquet was served and a pleasant hour of enjoyment was thus passed. Mrs. Alice Ann Morris, widow of Ezra J. Morris, who was one of the most prominent Knights Templar in this section of the country, died Monday, July 1, after a long illness. She was in the 70th year of her age. One daughter, Mrs. Cornelia Stearns, and one son, Ezra J. Morris, survive her. Rev. Z. K. Harrison, pastor of the Second F. B.

Seward Frederick Douglaas and That School of Ciants—A Remarkable Woman. in Auburn, N. Y., the home of that sagacious statesman and manly man, William H. Seward. I have just gazed upon the Seward Mausion now occu- pied by the son that bears the nsme of his father. It is situated on South Street, the most aristocratic thorsugh- fare of the city, aad opposite the map- sion 1s Seward Park, wherein is 8 movument erected to the memory of that fearless man, who, in the face of those worshipped the Constitution of the United States, a Constitution that legalized treffic in human fiesh and blood, said that than the Constitution “There is a Higher Law.”’ About one mile from the home of W. H. Seward, on the same street lives that remarkabls woman, Harriet Tubman. Who ts Harriet Tubman? some one may ask. She was borna slave in Maryland about eighty years sgo, and being of the most pronounced Negro type, she was made a ‘“‘field hand”’ at a very ter- der age. Her Jot was indeed a hard— too hard for such a heait as throbbed in her breast to bear, so in 1849 she made good ber escape to freedom’s soil But what did freedom mean to her when every wind from the South was changed with plaintive cries of her op pressed brethren for deliverance? It was but a mockery 89 long a3 she could hear the crack of the ovyerseer’s whip, the clanking of slave chams and the heart-rending cries of mothers bereft of their dear ones at the Auction Block. Something must be done and she proceeded to do it. Nineteen trips did she make South, rescuing more then 300 slaves from the “Jaws of Hell.’’ Such a terror did she become to the slave holders of Maryland thats reward of $40,000 was offered for her head She was bold, daring, elusive. A!l of her trips to the South were carefully planned and brilliantly excuted. She told me that when she found her moth- er ubwilling toleave behind her feather bed-tick and her father his broad-axe and other tools, she bunbled up featber- bed, broad-sxe mother, father—sll and landed them in Canada. To hear her tell of her thrilling adventures, hair-breadth escapes and dire sufferings experienced in piloting the trembling slave from the ‘ landof midnight dark- neés” to the sunlight of freedom, one cannot but believe that she was called of God to do the work which she did so masterfully, so conscientiously, so heroically. During the Civil war she rendered invaluable service to the Usion Army as spy, scout and hospital nurse. With the general of her army whatever **Moses,’’ as she was called, said went, She was at Fort Wegaerand told me that she prepared the last breakfast eaten by the galiaat Colonel Shaw. She numbered smong her friends snch men as John Brown, Charles Sumber, William Lloyd Garrison, Gov. An- drews, the war governor of Massachu- etts, Fredmck Douglass and many oth- ers.

Nothing touches her beart more quickly than to see one of her race in distress. She bas bever been known to turn a deaf ear to the appeal of an unfortunate hu man being. At this writing she has under her “vine and fig-tree’” two friendless old women and two home- less orphans. “Aunt’’ Harriet cannot do by these unfortunates, however, as ehe bas dene by others; because the hand of afflic- tion bes rested heavily on her for near- ly ayear. There was atime when she travelied a great deal and whatever re- quest she made of her white friends was granted, Many of her<ld friends have ‘‘Oressed the Bar” while others 1 am sure, know not of her present con- dition. At present ber lot is a hard one—dependent entirely on what may be handed her by occasional callers and the scant earnings of her brother sev eral years her senior. The property in her possession is easi ly worth six thousand dollars, It con- sists of twenty-five acres on which are two good houses, and is only a stones throw from one of the most maguifi cent estates in Auburn. On this prop- erty their is an incumbrance of $1,700 and her daily prayer is that this might be removed so that she can bequeatt it, free of debt to her race to be used forever as an Old Folk’s Home. When I called to see ‘‘Aunt” Harriet today, she said to me while tears coursed down her honest cheeks. “Son the Lord, has sent you to me. Fort weeks I’ve been praying to see you, a: I bavs a message which God told me to give you.”’ The message was that | ‘should come to her rescue by helping to save her property, In assisting Prin Booker T.

I desire to express my very high appreciation of its reading matter and the general information given concerning the work in the several subordinate lodges. This column is just what the craft needs and should have its fullest support. Fraternally yours, H. H. NAYLOR, Prince Hall Lodge. Let the Hall Association please have those seats removed and benches restored upon which it will be possible to sit in comfort. I am disgusted that the Hall Association has not removed those old blinds now a disgrace to the Masonic Temple and which prevents the proper vent lation of the several halls. Deputy Grand Master Malvin was in Philadelphia Sunday week He returned home Tuesday week very sick and has since been confined to his room under the care of a professional nurse. Brother F. J. Cardoza was close ed at the Southern Hotel on Sunday last with a delegation from Richmond Va what was said or done I do not know, but after the conference he appeared well pleased. I visited Sir McKenzie Scott and George S. Newman, the Damon and Pythias of our jurisdiction on Saturday. I found Sir Knight Scott much improved but by no means fully restored to health. The craft should not forget Brother Scott. I have seen the picture of the daughter of Brother Dick Moore of Prince Holl Lodge who will soon leave for Rockville to spend the summer. Brother Moore you have a right to talk about your daughter regardless of what Link Brown, August Savoy and others say. The endowment plan as recommended by the special committee of the Grand Lodge appears to have many advocates and not a few opposers. I have been unable to find as yet one among those who oppose the plans who have made any provision for those dependent upon them after they shall have been called from earth to their reward. They surely must expect to leave them as wards upon the Masonic craft. Random Shots. To the Editor of the Colored American: I am a subscriber to your valuable paper and while enjoying its numerous spicy articles, a slight hint to the editor of your Masonic column might not be amiss at this time. "A little fun now and then is relish- THE COLORED AMERICAN, WASHINGTON, D. O. ed by the best of men" but if our worthy brother will use discretion as to "whose ox is gored," will make his notes authentic and reliable, and bear close-y in mind the second and third paragraph of the charge in second degree, it will cause additional interest and not deteriorate from his interesting column. GRAND PROXY. Asbury Park (N. J) Notes. The weather is quite pleasant Abury Park, and the place is beginning to wear it's usual summer aspect. The Whitehead House, though not formally opened till the 4th of July has had several visitors among them Rev. Roundtree, Mrs. Hopkins Miss Cora Carle, New York arrivals; Mr. and Mrs. J. Oscar Beaubian, Cherleston, S C., Mr Durham, Allenhurt Quite large number have signified their intention of spending the Fourth at the Whitehead House by engaging rooms in advance. The season promises to be a very gay one. L B WHITEHEAD. Grand Director Jackson. We have been sadly touched by the news of the death of Grand Director Thomas R. W. Jackson which reacted this office during our absence. Brothe Jackson was a progressive Odd Fellow, a true friend, and every inch a man. Genial and lovable he was as effectionate and kind as a woman; but when aroused by an act of injustice either to himself or another he became almost lion-like in his ferocity. His judgment upon matters pertaining to the Order was almost infallible. Having come by gradual steps through all of the gradations of office both in the subordinate and District Grand Lodges he brought to his office of Grand Director a ripe experience. His ideas were always sound, his judgments just, his actions discreet. Loyalty was his watchward. Friendship was with him a reality not an elusive, indefinable something which vanishes at the approach of adversity. In the death of Brother Jackson the Odd Fellows Journal has lost one of its most staunch supporters, and its editor a friend true and tried whom he will sadly miss. We drop a tear on the bier of genial and loyal "Tom Jackson" and sympathize deeply with the bereaved widow and orphans. - Old Fellows Journal. Sunsit Cottage. Sunset Cottage at Harpers Ferry, W. Va., the advertisement of which appears in another column of this issue of The Colored American, is located on one of the best sites in that historical town. The proprietress however wishes it understood that the cottage is not a large, elaborate affair, but a modest homelike cottage. She can accommodate a number of first class people and can locate them in other cottages as well as her own. It is a delightful place to spend the heated term. A Chance to Make Money. I have berries, grapes and peaches a year old, fresh as when picked. Lused the California Cold Process. Do not heat or seal the fruit, just put it up e ld keep perfectly fresh, and costs almost nothing; can put up a bushel in ten minutes. Last year I sold directions to over 120 families in one week; anyone will pay a dollar for directions when they see the beautiful samples of fruit. As there are many people poor like myself, I consider my duty to give my experience to such and feel confident anyone can make one or two hundred dollars around home in a few days. I will mail sample of fruit and full directions to any of your readers for nineteen (19) two cent stamps, which is only the actual cost of the samples, postage, etc., Mrs. M.

SATURDAY, JULY 6. 1900. A NEW INDUSTRIAL, SCHOOL The colored people of Maryland have taken a wise step in organizing themselves into a body for the purpose of establishing an industrial school for the colored youths of that state. This school is to be conducted on the plan of the school at Tuskegee, Ala. At the head of the movement are some of the leading colored men of the state as well as the country. Dr. Ernest Lyon, who is the moving spirit has given the idea careful study. He has secured the endorsement of the leading white and colored men of the state and already a site comprising about eighty-five acres of ground has been secured and the movement is on a fair way to success. That the idea of industrial education is growing goes without saying. Intelligent Afro Americans everywhere are learning that they must depend upon themselves and that the shortest way to ascend the heights is to master the basic occupations. Dr. Lyons and his associates should have the cooperation of the whole people of Maryland. The movement is a good one. It is both practical and feasible and is in the hands of men who are not quitters but who will push matters until their efforts are crowned with success. The failure of a white bank in Richmond, Va. last week entailed heavy losses on the colored people of that city. They are not to be pittied since the strongest bank in Richmond is owned and operated by colored people. This same bank—the True Reformers Bank—loaned the city of Richmond during the panic sufficient money to tide it over. The white banks could not spare (?) the money. When an idiot comes in an orders his paper stopped, because there was something in it that he did not like, we'll wager thirty cents that he will be found to be heavily in arrears, and that the publisher will never get his money. THE COLORED AMERICAN, WASHINGTON, D. C. The Fourth of July was pulled of in the usual quiet way. A WORD TO DELINQUENT SUBSCRIBERS. You are considerably in arrears in your subscription and you have been notified a number of times of this fact. It is expensive to continue to write letters requesting you to send in your subscription. It is embarrassing to dun you and it will be more so to place your account in the hands of our lawyer for collection and to be threatened with a law suit. The Colored American improves with each issue. It is printed on superior quality of paper. It has many new and expensive features such as cartoons, new and original articles, etc. and it takes a great deal of money to publish it successfully. It may not be your purpose to defraud us out of what is due. It is more perhaps from procrastination. The The management wants your friendship, it wants your support, it wants to continue to send you the paper and you ought in all honor send in what is due. If you are not able to send in the money it will take only an hours work to get two or more of your friends to subscribe and by sending in their subscripttons your own can be paid in this way. Don't put this matter off but act at once. The excellence of many of our contemporaries is a sign of growth and prosperity. The advocates of suffrage for the District of Columbia have spat upon their hands, and sailed in for author crusade. They ought to win and we go further and say that the victory should not go to one sex alone. Washington has a large aggregation of the most intelligent and cultured women in the land, and there is no reason in the world why they should be taxed under conditions in which they have no voice or compeld to obey laws which they have no part in making. The fear of Negro domination will be lessened if it is understood that the wealthy women of the city are to be allowed the suffrage, and the influence of this class can be utilized to great advantage if they can only be enlisted in the cause. The suffrage movement is growing, despite the indifference of such magnates as B. H. Warner, S. W. Woodward, C. J. Bell and John Joy Edson. The Afro-American seems to have eschewed politics. Not one representative appointment in the new century. The 48th and 49th Colored U. S. volunteers who have made a glorious record in the Philippine Islands for the past two years were discharged in San Francisco this week. This leaves but four colored regiments—the 24th and 25th Infantry and the 9th and 10th Calvary in the regular army, It would seem that civilization and liberty have ceased to be running mates. The colored man patiently submits, when the white man would fight like a tiger. Deny a constitutional right to a Caucasian citizen, and the country would be torn with strife and dissension until justice was granted. Verily, "sufferance is the badge of all our tribe." Are you in arrears in your subscriptions to The Colored American? The editor of The Colored American acknowledges the receipt of a box of elegant cigars sent him by Captain D. J. Gilmore of the 49th Volunteer Infantry in Aparri, Cacayan, P. I. Captain Gilmore will return to this country in a few months. Courageous men do not stop at vile inuendo. They file specific charges. The Negro has learned his lesson well when he learns to depend upon his own efforts. The industrial idea is growing among all races and classes. The Growing use of Private Cars From The World's Work) Private railway cars have always been associated in the popular mind with great wealth, but a plan has been developed which makes it possible for even a yaudeville actor or a business man in ordinary circumstances, or anybody else reasonably well-to-do, who wishes to make a display or to enjoy the luxury of travel, to own a private car built according to his own specifications. A carrefitting company in New York city buys old Pullman coaches, tears the inside furnishing out, and refits them according to the wishes of its customers. Whatever kind of private car a man may wish he may order—parlors, haudsomely carpeted, sitting-rooms, dining-rooms, sleeping compartments, smoking rooms—all with equipment more or less perfect recording as the price. And cars are refitted in this way and sold for prices varying from $1,500 to $15,000. Very handsome and serveiceable cars have been built from the old "castaways," and the man of moderate means can travel privately and comfortably in a home of his own. It is an interesting evidence of American manufacturing thrift and of the growth of wealth. A leading article in the July Magazine Number of The Outlook, which is its midsummer number, as the August Magazine Number is devoted to educational subjects, is "The Spirit of the New World as Interpreted by the Pan American Exposition," by Hamilton W. Mabie. This subject, on which Mr. Mabie writes with his usual insight and charm, is profusely illustrated by reproductions from drawings of the beautiful architectural features of the Exposition. ($8 a year. The Outlook Company, 287 Fourth Avenue, New York City.) It Was a Success The Beneficial Society, which ran an excursion to Richmond, Newport News, O d Point Comfort and the seashore last Saturday night, took a representative crowd from this city. They report a most pleasant time. The affair was in the hands of a committee composed of Rev. W. J. Howard, Rev. George W. Lee, Mr. Louis P. Winston, secretary and others, all of whom did all in their power to make the trip a Pleasant one. Too much credit cannot be given Mr. Winston, who was everywhere doing all he could to make it pleasant for those who took the trip. Max Adeler's New Stories Twenty-five years ago, when "Elbow Room" and "Out of the Hurly-Burly" were the successes of the day, Max Adeler suddenly ceased writing. For a quarter of a century he was proof against the blandishments of editors, but within a few weeks he has com- pleted a new series of humorous stories which show him at his best. Tales of Old Turley, which will appear in early numbers of The Saturday Evening Post, are wonderfully droll stories of the quaint characters in an old-fashioned country town before the war. Local politices, school committee fights, church squabbles and women's clubs lend themselves admirably to Max Adeler's humorous touch, and from the basis of some of the cleverest stories that have been written for many a day. Where to go on Sunday! Hoffman's Inn, corner of Stanton and Elvan ave., Hillsdale, D. C. You will enjoy an outing in this delightful section. Take the Anacostia cars of the Washington Traction Company cars and get off at either Morris Road or Sheridan ave., Douglass Hall. The coolest ice cream soda water served on the green lawn—New England dinner. Free admission. Special evening quartette from Hoffman's Orchestra in attendance. Elzie S. Hoffman, Proprietor. Master James F. and Edward H. Lawson are at Rochester, New York. Is it hot----Bang-and the foolhardy fellow fell lifeless to pave, not pavement, see, but "pave." Miss Hallie Q. Brown, the well known elocutionist and church worker, is seriously ill at her home in Wilberforce, Q. Mrs. Sarah Saunders Monroe of Cincinnati. Onio, who has been the guest of her mother for two weeks returned to her western home last Wednesday. Her brief stay in the capital city was a most pleasant one—this being her old home. Miss I. V. Jones a teacher in the High school of Waxahachie, Tex., is here visiting her sister Mrs. S. L Jennifer, 445 2nd street southwest. While here Mrs, Jones intends to take a special course in pedagogy. Dr. Evans is a wide-awake, hustling and progressive teacher. He is a student and is always abeast of the time. Under his administration there can be but one result success. This is no idle speculation. He has thoroughly proved his worth by long effort. He is no experiment. Hon. Jere A. Brown and wife left the city last Wednesday for Wilberforce, O., where they will spend their vacation. Mr. Brown is still a power in Ohio politics and was just recently chosen a member of the republican state executive committee. He will take part in the coming campaign, Mrs. Jesse Lawson and daughter, Josephine, of Washington D. C.; Prof. Arthur D. Langston and family of St. Louis, Mo.; Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Napier of Nashvill, Tenn., and Mrs. John M. Langston of Washington, D C. are stopping with Mr. and Mrs. William H. Talbert 521 Michigan street Buffalo, New York. Mr. James Neill of the Pension Bureau, has returned from a two-weeks visit to his old home in Sunny Tennessee. While there he was invited to address the Colored State Tescher's Association which met at Columbia. Under the caption of "The Teachers' mission-" Mr. Neill managed to crowd a whole lot of happy ideas into his talk which was well received by the large audience. It is especially worthy of mention that he made a strong plea for higher education, for it is refreshing to know that there is some faith left somewhere in the Negro's capacity. THE RAINBOW CITY NEWS. The Buffalo Brass Band—The People's Arcade-Mr. I, Benjamin Banqueted Buffalo's Elite-The Phyllis Wheatley Club. The Pan American Exposition Now in Full Blast. Buffalo, N. Y., Special—The Buffalo brass band known as the Reeds band was organized December the tenth with sixteen experienced and well trained musicians. The band is doing well under the management of Mr. Henry Huchingson who is the leader and trainer in general. Every member has a uniform made to order; the good thing about the uniforms is that they are all paid for; they are the pride of the Rainbow City. The band has attained its present efficiency under the leadership of Mr. Huchingson who is one of the best tombone players in the world. The organization consists of the following officers, viz: Messrs Huchingson and Butler, leaders; Chas. Davis, secretary; William Adkins, assistant secretary; F. R. Rogers manager. The headquarters of this well equipped band is at Shaunings' place, 464 Michigan street. We hope for the boys success, great success during the "Pan-Am." The People's Arcade is located on Main street not far from the New York Central Station. You can have your fortune told, or you can spend a fortune trying to get a true estimate of yourself; you can see pictures of all descriptions from the "Bowery to Fifth avenue" all for one cent. Mr. I. Benjamin of Albany, was in the city last week on legal business; he contemplates visiting the city again soon. Before he departed the "elite" were not satisfied with this promise of coming again so they prepared and banqueted him while they had the privilege. He was entertained at Mr. Barley's, only ten being present; six elaborate courses were served in a modern manner. Capt. Keys acted as toastmaster. Every one present spoke very encouragingly concerning the future of the young men, Mr. Benjamin being a young man knew well how handle the subject; Capt. Keys spoke in the progress of the race, he made an impression on all present that he knew where the race had come from and its destiny, he spoke of the rising men from all sections, he urged upon all to be united in all actions, he commended the Airo-American Council and showed why Buffalo should have a Council. Every one returned home feeling that mind, soul and body had been benefited. The Phillis Wheatley Club under the direction of Rev. Johnson of the Baptist church is doing a great work among the young people of Buffalo. Like its name, it is even pushing forward, where any good can be done for the fallen in connection with the christian work of this club. They have a flourishing literary feature where all may take an active part in debates. Every Sunday the club has a well prepared program While attending the exposition it will be a great treat for all strangers to attend a meeting of this famous club.

Those desiring information concerning the exposition should enclose a two cents when writing the undersigned. COLUMBUS WHITE, 458 N. Denision st., Buffalo, N. Y. FREDERICK DOUGLASS Every well regulated citizen ought to have a watch. It matters not whether he be white or black, Jew or Gentile, Catholic or Protestant, the man to whom time is an object needs a "tlcker" to guide his movements. So then, in the first place, everybody get a watch. In the second place, get a good watch. In the third place, get it at a rock bottom price. How? That is an easy proposition. You don't need any money. You have two friends—intelligent, public spirited friends—who appreciate a first-class newspaper, and who also feel a personal interest in your happiness. Go directly to them and explain that if each will give you a year's subscription to The Colored American—$2.00 each, and they get more than value received—you will secure a fine watch free. No one can lose—every party to the transaction made happy. The arrangement can be made in a couple of hours—pick out your people. Or send one yearly subscription at $2.00 and add $1.00 to it—$3.00 in all—and you get the watch. Again, if you are in a big hurry, and want to deal directly for cash, we will as a special inducement, let you have the same watch for $2.25. Now, try some of these propositions. All are simple, and easy of accomplishment. SUBSTITUTE FOR A VACATION PERUNA THE GREAT TONIC MR. CHAS. NEWMAN, 174 Loomis STREET. CHICAGO, ILL. PROF, WM. C. WEBSTER, 17 E. VAN BUREN STREET, CHICAGO, ILL. Mr. Charles Newman, 174 Loomis street. Chicago, Ill., writes the fol- lowing in regard to Peruna. Mr. Newman says: "I took one bottle of your wonderful Prof. Wm. C. Webster, Principal of Webster's Music School, 600 Steinway Hall, 17 East Van Buren street, Chicago, Ill., in a recent letter, says: "I have used your medicine and cannot say too much for it. I will recommend it to anybody. I keep it in my school in case of need." A New Man. N. C. May, Oak Ridge Station, Pa. writes: "Mr. L. P. Bailey, whose health was impaired and who always felt tired and haggard, by my persuasion, began to use Peruna about a month ago, and now he looks like a different man. He says he feels 100 per cent. better." N. C. May. Those desiring a free book on the cause of nerve weakness, anaemia and other devitalizing diseases should address The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, Ohio. Rev. A. P. Millers Farewell. Rev. A. P. Miller, B. D., pastor of Lincoln Memorial Congregational Church, corner Eleventh and R streets northwest, preaches his farewell sermons next Sunday in his church at 11 a.m. and 7:45 p.m. The feeling of regret at Dr. Miller's leaving Washington is not only felt by his own church and people, but by the whole community. Dr. Miller has endeared himself to a wide circle of friends, of all persuasions, and is regarded as one of our ablest and most eloquent divines. His success in Lincoln during a pastorate of nearly five years has been flattering, and the church is said to have never been in better condition, materially and spiritually. Dr. Miller leaves of his own will and volition, and has accepted a charge in Grand Rapids, Mich, upon which work he enters this month. The Doctor preaches his farewell sermon next Sunday night. On Wednesday, July 10, the church and friends are to tender Dr. and Mrs. Miller an informal farewell reception in the auditorium. Rev. Dr. Garner, of Plymouth, will preside. Among those who are expected to say a word are Drs. Geo. W. Lee, B. J. Bolding, S. N. Brown, T. M. Nixon, Edward Gordon, W. C. Martin, Esq., Prof. W. H. H. Hart, R. S. Smith, and others. Dr. Miller and his family will leave on Thursday morning for New England—Fairfield, Conn—where the family will remain for summer. Dr. Miller will be followed in his new field of labor by the prayers and best wishes of a very large circle of Washington's best people, and we wish him every success. "I took one bottle of your wonderful medicine and have so improved that I feel like a new person. I am very thankful that I got hold of your wonderful remedy. I cannot say too much in your behalf. I had doctored for two years until I felt there was no relief. "My wife has taken one bottle of your grand medicine and it has helped her so much. I find it has improved her health so much that I will recommend it to anyone cheerfully." Yours gratefully, Nervous Depression. The month of July is peculiarly the month of nervous diseases, especially nervous prostration and other depressed states of the nervous system. People who are at all inclined to be nervous or suffer from weak nerves find this month especially trying. Sultry heat and electrical disturbances of the atmosphere is probably the cause of this. Invalids need to be particularly careful during the month of July to fortify the nervous system by the use of Peruna NEGRO AUTHORS. Very few, even of those who are deeply interested and closely concerned in the Negro's efforts and development have much distinct knowledge of the varled and rich literature produced by men and women of the race. Collectors, students and those intercated In special phases of race literature are invited to examine my collection of books, or to correspond with me. JOHN H. WILLS, OLD BOOKS, 506 Eleventh St, N.
