THE COLORED AMERICAN, WASHINGTON, D. C. 10 IN THE WOMAN'S BEHALF. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, a Prominent Woman of Color Speaks at Length to the Monona Lake Assembly-Mrs. Terrell a Prepossessing Woman with Much Forensic Ability. Madison, Wis., Special—The Negro problem is becoming more and more vexed and complex every day, simply because the thinking and intellectual portion of the white race in America will not accept the simple truth of Justice and Equality, upon which the laws of the United States are founded and in accordance with this supposed to stand. One frequently hears questions such as these: Is the Negro capable—thorough not superficial? Is he progressive? Is he willing to help himself? Can we—is he going to permit us to rate him forever as a second-class individual in this great surging caravan of humanity? Do the women of his race pay a vital part in shaping his hopes—his ambitions—his very life and that of his children? To every one of the interrogatives Mrs. Mary Church Terrell has logically and convincingly given the answer, Yes. She spoke at length upon "The Progress of the Colored Woman, treated fearlessly and broadly the Negro woman as she is in her environments and her home life, morally physically and intellectually and spoke upon her energy, her push and stability in the outside world; how she is willing to work and labor under the most difficult and least favorable circumstances and yet be a brave woman and smile. Taking the better elements from among the women of a people, all things being considered the American colored woman has her equal perhaps, but certainly no peers among her sisters of the white race. It may be interesting to reflect a moment, and consider why and wherefore a representative colored woman is in demand by such well grounded white organizations as the Monona Assembly whose one purpose it is among other things to consider the difficult problems of social and political life and keep the height of their best advancement before the people. The entire matter is the outgrowth of table talk at home, and is a very signal omen of the times. The home considers every phase of the Negro, hence the public demands authority upon the subject. The social status at large of the Negro will not soon be appreciately fixed until there is some training in white homes tending toward a new social evolution. The race is exceptionally fortunate in having such a woman as Mrs. Terrell in its front ranks. Her oratory is fine. Her arguments are unbiased. She is an example of what she believes at heart—preaches and teaches. The physical woman is exquisitely handsome, possessing a magnetic personality. She has a still delicacy and softness of manner, which is persuasive, and is only interrupted at times by graceful movements and a pair of vivacious dark eyes lighted up with enthusiasm. The programme of the Assembly still has members in the person of John Temple Graves, the eloquent Southern agitator, and Ben Tillman. Should either of these men bring forth peculiar views, essentially Southern, upholding any peculiar institution or institutions of the South, the way for the predominance of their opinions has been blocked by Mrs Terrell.

BELIZE COLONIST CRICKET CLUB Winner o. the Metxgen Challenge Cup Belize, British Honduras, Special In honor of the great victory over the Belize Australian Cricket Club last season, on the 10th of September 1900 for a silver cup presented by Mr. C. A. Metzgen and termed the Metzgen Challenge Cu, the Colonist Cricket Club gave a very successful social at the Odd Fellows Temple at 8:30 p. m. on July 9 h.

Bennett, Miss Florence Frazier and Miss Lottie Usher who kindly rendered valuable assistance as a pianists. Mr. Byard Pinkney director of the Independent Band, also assisted with his quartette. The president, Mr. W. C. Price presided. Mr. Metzgen the donor of the cup made a speech in which he congratulated the members on their success. Dancing was a dolged in at intervals. Refreshments, consisting of sandwiches, ice cream, cakes e.c. were served. The dancing and music continued until 19:30 when the president announced the national anthem which was sung by the members of the club. The program was as follows: Opening address by W. C. Price, president; Selection by Director Pinkney's quartette; song, "When you aint got no money you needent come around," F. Monsanto; recitation. "Chatham on the American war," E. Tennyson; baritone solo, "Bohemian girl," Wm. Campbell; song, "I love that girl," C B. Laurence; song, "The girl I love," J.

The hall was very tastefully decorated and the great feature of the evening was the uniform, which was quite unique. Rev. J. Bulla Cooper attended the Connectional Council meeting this week at Atlantic City, Y. J. The Grand Lodge of K of P. of Connecticut met at Meriden in their annual session. The Grand Court of Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut met with them. A very harmonious session was held in both branches; the most surprising event was the election of officers which resulted as follows: For Grand Lodge G. C. J. R. Forman, Bridgeport, Conn.; G V. J L. Wilson, Hartford; G. P. Wm. H, Porter, Meriden; G. K. R. S. James S. Wilson, Hartford; G. U. O. F. Samuel H. Bell, Hartford; G. M. Ex. R. A. Gibbeny, Meriden; G O. G. G. A. Nelson, Hartford; G. I. G. T. P. Hopkins, Bridgeport, Conn. The Meaning of Home. A very practical article regarding Home and Family Life, by Professor Ellen M. Richards, appears in the September number of The Delinestor. The first sentence is "The house is but the shell of the home, a shell meant to inclose and protect, not to crusa it." These few words give an idea of the breadth and sympathy with which Professor Richards discusses the subject. HOTEL DALY HOTEL DALY HOUSE The Famous Hotel Date Atlantic City, N.

An Afo-Afmerican Musician Charms Retinad Audiences-Echoes From the Conclave-The Jays Spicy News Melange Takes in the Entire Social World Dr. Millers Arrival. Grand Rapids, Mich., Special—Mr. W. H. Lacey rendered a few of his vocal selections at North Park one afternoon last week The prayer of the Wanderer "Mandeline," the Moonlight, song from the Highwaymen, a selection from the Borgo Master and Il'trovitore. Mr. Lacey has the talent to become a second Sidney Woodward if he would accept of theatrical inducements that has been made to him and which he now has under consideration. Don't forget that Raymer's is where you find The Colored American, Miss Etta Wright is a teacher at All Souls Summer Kindergarten School Mr. Douglass Marshall of Detroit was the guest of Miss Etta Wright Sunday. Mrs. H. A. Kimball of Battle Creek made a flying visit to the city last week. Mrs. Jennle Smith who has been visiting in Detroit for two weeks returned Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Al Crockett were more than pleased with the reception they received in Detroit. Raymer's news stand opposite soldiers monument is where The Colored American can be had. Major Robinson has just returned from Petoskey where he spent a few days during his vacation. Mr. Walter Carter gave a piano and monodolin recital for a few friends last week at 348 Wealthy ave. At Raymer's anything in the periodical line can be had that's classical literature. Orders can be left there for back numbers. Misses Hattie Beverly, Grace Craig, Etta Wright, Dorothy Brown and Mrs. Bob White chaperoned by our estimable hostess, Mrs. T. P. Wright, took a lunch at the Lakeside. The Eastern Star of Michigan and Ohlo held an election in Detroit last week which resulted in Mrs. E. J. Crocket being elected as Grand Patron and Miss E. B. McConnell Grand Recording Secretary. Mr. J. C Ford, porter in charge of the union passenger station attended the conclave in Detroit, and has nothing but words of commendation for the grand reception that was given visiting Knight Templars by the Detroit sir Knights. We as a race must respect ourselves, if we want to demand respect from others. Conspicuous individuals in public places of amusement are in very bad taste. "If we could only see ourselves as others see us." Raymer's is where The Colored American can be had, South Division street. Mr. and Mrs. W. K Hall stopped in Detroit to attend the conclave. They will visit Toledo, Chatbam and the Pan American before their return. Where can The Colored American be had? At the most popular news stand in the city. Why, because its the most central location in the city, opposite soldiers monument. Not only can The Colored American be had there, but every newspaper and magazine that's published, also The Colored American Magazine.

Miller, D. D. from Lincoln Memorial A. M. E. church, Washington, D. C. arrived in the city last week to take charge of the A. M. E. Zion church in this city. Rev. Miller was mentioned in a previous issue of our paper. To those who failed to get a copy of our paper I will say in regards to Rev. Miller he is a graduate of Yale and Fisk Universities. He is above the average minister sent to small charges, because he is a scholar and a gentleman. The average minister is a gentlemen only. From what we have seen of the Rev. we are not only impressed with him as a minister, but as a reformer and race advocate in Rev. Miller Zion has a pastor whom it should be proud of and we predict a most promising future for Rev. Miller during his stay in our city. ATLANTIC CITY NEWS NOTES. Life and Bustle in New Jersey's Favorite Resort-General Mention and News. Atlantic City, N J., Special—Hardly anything worthy of note has occurred in the social world of this week. Aside from the arrivals and departures there is absolutely nothing worth knowing. Society in these hot days has forgotten its functions and instead of the pink teas, receptions, balls and cot lions, it now busies itself in the difficult problem of how to keep cool. All excitement is now transferred to the boardwalk and the beach where everybody promenades, trying both to see and be seen, while trying to catch as much of the scant sea breeze stirring as is stirring. The beach is alive with bathers and the Afro-American is well represented among the throngs. The Afro Americans at this place are making hay while the sun shines, and in proportion to the size of the place, there are as many men in business—and succeeding too as there are any where else. In the next week's issue we shall undertake to tell something about the successful men and women of this place. Last week at the Asbury A.

After the table was arranged the family with the club was invited to enjoy themselves which they did to their hearts content. Before the club departed they presented the pastor with the neat sum of $50 00 with which to assist him in taking a pleasant vacation. After a hearty handshaking they departed wishing heaven's blessings to rest upon the pastor and his family until his return. The club is composed of some of the best members of the church with Mrs. Laura Delaney as president, Mrs. Fannie Taylor as vice president, Mrs. Lucy Coleman as treasurer and Mrs. Charles Jackson as secretary.

Before returning home she will visit Lynch burg, Va., as the guest of her sister, Mrs. Dr. J. W. Jackson. The vacation school will be continued next summer on a more elaborate basis than was possible during this year's formative period. The experiment has been highly successful. The Star's account of the Stevens school work was a splendid compliment to Principal F. L. Cardozo, Junior. The joint lawn fete given July 30 and 31, at the residence of Dr, and Mrs. Williams, 1821 15th street, for the benefit of the 15th street Presbyterian church, was highly successful. A handsome sum was netted for the building fund. The Doctor's immense grapophone and electric piano played the latest "tunes," and proved a strong attraction for everybody. The lawn was spacious and well-appointed, and the outing was appreciated by the hundreds who came. It will be a delightful treat to accompany our boys just once more this season.

D. Q. BE NOT D TO THE COLORED PE King of all H "OZO NOT DECEIVED RED PEOPLE OF AMERICA. of all Hair Tonics, 'OZONO." BE NOT DECEIVED TO THE COLORED PEOPLE OF AMERICA King of all Hair Tonics, "OZONO." 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. 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. 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, Linky, 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. 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 bury 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. The good effects on the hair are seen in a day or two after the first application. The price of Ozono is 50c. a bottle—4 boxes do the work. We make this liberal offer, which is good at any time: Cut out this coupon and send to us, enclosing with it the sum of One Dollar, and we will forward to you four large boxes of Ozono and one large bottle of Electrical Skin Refiner, which makes black skin bright, rough skin soft and pliant, and cures all skin diseases. Also removes all facial imperfections, and actually removes small-pox pits. We will also include one fancy jar of our Electrical Skin Food—Nature's great beautifier—removes wrinkles, moth patches, freckles, and all facial blemishes; makes the old look young and the young look younger.

A. SCOTT. Rev.P. A. Scotta Power in the Pennsylvania Pulpit—A Noted Orator and Church Builder and a Leader in the Crusade Against the Sale of Intoxicants. Oil City, Pa. Special -A striking example of what can be accomplished by perseverence and concentration of mental energy and force, and a strong verification of the fact poverty and obscure circumstances, even when reinforced by the ill-fortune of being identified with a despised race, have no circumscribed limits for brain and character, when backed up by courage and faith in God, is seen in the life and work of Rev. Price A. Scott, of Oil City, Pa., a sketch and cut of whom is herewith published. He was born near Lynchburg, Va., November 25, 1866, of humble parentage, and amid obscure circumstances, and was not permitted to enter a school room until past the age of 12 years. He had learned to read at home, however, and was not long in school before his brightness as a student became very apparent, and he took his place at the very head of his class, and finally at the head of all in the school At the age of seventeen, he passed a successful examination for a teacher's certificate, and was elected a teacher in a country school in West Virginia, where he continued until at the age of nineteen, when he entered Storey College, at Hapers Ferry, West Virginia, and remained three years, teaching during his vacations. He taught, in all, ten years, the last being in Charleston, West Virginia, during his first pastorate. He was licensed to preach in 1890 and May 10, 1891 was appointed to a little mission work in Charleston. He remained there nearly two years; and since that has served effectually the A.M.E churches at Wheeling, West Va., Meadville, and Erie, Pa., and is now finishing his third year as pastor in Old City, Pa., with unprecedented success. While in Meadville, where he served four years, he spent two years, in Meadville Theological Seminary. For the past six years, he has been the secretary of the Pittsburg Confere 2 A PROMISING DIVINE ence of the A. M. E Church, and during that time was chairman of the Conference Mission Board, and for three years, was president of the Conference Preachers' Aid Society. He is a Conference Trustee of Wilberforce (Ohio) University, and one of its most enthusiastic supporters. For the past two years, he has been the editor and proprietor of the Oil City (Pa,) Herald, founded by him, a religious, temperance and educational journal which enjoys a large circulation among both races, and is one of the cleanest and best edited race journals now before the public. He was a delegate to the State Prohibition Convention at Harrisburg, Pa, June 27, 1901, and was there elected a member of the Prohibition State Central Committee, Rev. Scott is a successful business man, a pleasing and instructive lecturer, a brilliant writer, an eloquent and forcible public speaker, an able preacher and a successful pastor. No colored man in western Pennsylvania stand higher, and has more influence with both races in social, political and church life than this young, but wideawake clergyman. An exciting game of base ball was played today on the White Sulphur diamonds between the White Sulphur Colts and the Louis Burggints. The Colts wone the game by the score of 18 to 5. Pryor who pitched for the home club was in good form, giving only one pass to Tolivers sack. The game seemed full of danger. Three of the colts was crushed in the 31 and 4th. Capt. Robinson, his brother and C Lewis. However, Captain Robinson was game enough to struggle through the game. The features of the game was the allround playing of Robinson, Toliver, Ross, Pryor and Cramer, 2 base hits Toliver, Jackson, Robinson and Cramer, 3 base hits Ross, home run Pryor.

WE MUST ADVANCE. But Cannot as Long as Existing Conditions-Prof Imes Makes a Few Sensible Suggestions-A Rap at the Jack Leo Preachers The color of our skin is not the worst of our afflictions. The lack of moral stamina, punctuality, original thought, thorough execution, and patience is what keeps the Negro in the back-ground—The Colored American, July, 27. Yes, and so long as the great major of the race spend so much time and means, and exhaust most of their energies in organizing and maintaining "societies," parading in costly regalian thousands of dollars going for show and chilfish display, plenics, cake walks, sport! Sport! Sport! How can the people improve? Very much that is called religious worship is most degrading; and shrewd, selfish preachers fairly turn the exertable people upside down and wrong side out with their heathenish ranting and "bellowing" called preaching They know how to "move" the people. Such are great preachers! And the poor deluded people, thousands of them think that noise is religion A bad man can be a popular leader, with big titles and large following because he knows how to work on the weaknesses of the people. Amuse the people and you've got them. Appeal to prejudice, work on the emotions and you win. The appeal to reason and to intelligence falls to the ground. "Moral stamina?" Why you don't need it to be popular! "What is moral stamina?" A crowd of them would ask you. "Original thoughts!" Not in the direction of every day honor and sincerity of purpose. Much that is called education is superficial—a mere smattering. You can so easily pass for a "gentleman and a scholar," though you may but scarcely be able to read, and hence it is the custom to be superficial and pretentious in character generally. I can get the title of "D. D." or "LL. D." or anything else, though not meriting such title by attainment or performance. Do not demand "thorough execution." The papers have "write ups" and "puff ups" of too many people who are not at all as represented. You do not need to aspire to excellence and real worth. What is the use? I do not agree with "Thomas" in his wholesale slanders of the race, but we had better heed some of the ugly truths he tells, though he does it in so bad a spirit. The West Recognized Omaha Enterprise The election of Mrs. Jesephine Silone Yates to the presidency of the National Association of Colored Women, is a compliment to the womanhood of the West. Unprecedented as it is, the election of a Western woman at this time proves clearly that the people of the East and South are awakening to the fact that brain and talent recognize no geographical boundaries but that men and women of culture are just as apt to locate in one section of the country as another Mrs. Yates represents the flower of Negro womanhood. Of unblemished reputation, she possesses a strong personality and enjoys the distinction of being one of the most accomplished women of the race. Her selection graces the office she has been elected to, and with the co operation of the women of the federation her incumbency will mark an era in the club work of the colored women of America.

The Negro Exhibit at South Carolina Inter State and West Indian Exposition to Fix The Status of The Race in The World's Civilization--The Best Specimens of Afro-American Skill and Industry-Personnel of Officers a Guarantee of Thoroughness--Some Interesting Details That all Should Remember. will be in the Negro Building at the South Carolina Inter-state and West Indian Exposition, the corner-stone of which was laid amid great ceremony at Charleston on the Fourth of July. This exposition and runs to June 1, 1902, giving ample time for visitors to reach it from every If the civilization of today could assume the form of man, and should be asked what it demanded most strenuously from nations, races and individuals, the reply would come speedily and emphatically: "The demand of the hour is Results." Oratory inspires the soul to action and frames lofty ideals. Circulated prints educate the mind-beget and factor the healthful public spirit and race pride essential to well-directed effort. Organizations furnish the great motive force that must crystalize the influences of speech and virtue, and bring to the world that prime desideration-positive results. Activities of tongue and pen fail of their central mission when unproductive of results. Only results or their formative processes count in the equation of human development and national progress. These, and these only, make for the genuine advancement of civilization and fix the place of peoples in the sphere of culture, commerce, capacity, creeds and character. America has risen to the head among the powers of the earth by her demonstrated ability to "do things," and to do them in the quickest and best way. She has given evidence of her capacity and resource by gathering from her fields, her forests, and mines, the finest of raw materials, and by the culture of head and hand, she has astonished the universe by the variety and volume of her manufactures. The index to every step of her progress in the liberal arts has been denoted by a mammoth exposition—a concrete illustration of the latest and most approved appliances and results in the many branches of industry and invention. The panoramic displays at Charleston, Philadelphia, New Orleans, Chicago, Atlanta, and now at Buffalo, including also our magnificent showing at Vienna, Berlin, London, and Paris, all form distinct and brilliant chapters in the history of our national development. The preparations now underway at Charleston for the South Carolina Inter-State and West Indian Exposition indicate that the wheel of progress is still in action, and that the energetic American spirit is not content to rest its fame upon past laurels The Negro has kept pace with his fairer brethren along this journey toward industrial excellence. At every national or international exhibition he has been on hand with his manufactures, inventions and products, and at none has he failed to impress the world with his genius and skill. At Atlanta, Paris and at Buffalo the Negro exhibit attracted especial attention, and appeared to marked advantage. Philosophers, sages and doctrinaries have run the gamut as to the theories of race progress, but these expositions have proven more potent than all the arguments and statistics by bringing beneath the naked eye the actual results of Negro brain and manual dexterity. The world has looked upon our work, and the results have, of necessity, carried conviction as to our worth as men and citizens. It is but natural that our achievements in agricultural and mechanical branches should show to the most favorable advantage in the South. That section is our fatherland. There is where the Negro is found in the greatest number, and where exist the best opportunities to see the race as it is, and to study its strengths and its weaknesses—for in every people both elements must be found. The degree of advancement will be in proportion as the former overcomes the latter. The very best opportunity to study the Afro-American through clear lenses THE COLORED AMERICAN. WASHINGTON. D C will be in the Negro Building at the South Carolina Inter-state and West Indian Exposition, the corner-stone of which was laid amid great ceremony at Charleston on the Fourth of July. This exposition and runs to June 1, 1902, giving ample time for visitors to reach it from every State and Territory under the American flag. The display is especially pertinent at this time, in view of the phenomenal industrial awakening in the South, and our remarkable commercial growth in the West India Islands. The purpose of the Negro exhibit is to show to the questioning world the progress of the Negro race during the past thirty-five years in morals, education, and in the arena of industrial activity. This can best be accomplished by bringing together in one building, and under Negro direction, typical specimens of the Afro-American's skill and genius. It is fitting that such an exhibit should be held in the City of Charleston. It is admirably situated midway upon the Atlantic seaboard, between New England and the Gulf, easily accessible both by land and water. It is entered by three railroads, the Southern, the Plant System and the Atlantic Coast Line. The Clyde Steamship Line plys between Boston, New York, Charleston and Jacksonville. Charleston has now some 60,000 inhabitants, about half of whom are Negroes; and many are substantial business and professional men, owning property and closely identified with the agencies that promise to restore to the city her one-time commercial importance and prosperity. There are fine churches, excellent public schools, and commodious private residences, and throughout the city there is a wholesome spirit of liberality shown toward law-abiding colored people. Charleston is mild and equable as to climate, having a mean annual temperature of 68. In winter the thermometer rarely falls below 40, thus never getting too cold for sight-seeing. The Board of Directors have selected a site of 150 acres, two and a half mile from the business center of Charleston, easy of access by private conveyance, electric railroad system or steam railroads on the east side and by water transportaion on the Ashley River on the West side, the grounds having a river frontage of 2,710 feet. The river in front of the grounds offers an anchorage for the largest vessels. The Negro Building is happily situated. It is of the Spanish Renaissance style of architecture, magnificent in proportions and beautiful in design. It will contain 15,000 square feet of floor space, with wall space sufficient to accommodate all the exhibits which may be made in the Department of Arts. The site on which the building stands fronts the Ashley River and as to picturesqueness the location is unsurpassed. It bids fair to be one of the most notable structures upon the grounds, and no one will fail to give its contents the most critical examination. The Negro exhibit is under the general supervision of the following officers: Booker T. Washington, Commissioner-in-Chief. W. D. Crum, M. D., Assistant Commissioner. Thomas J. Jackson, Secretary and Field Agent. Booker T. Washington, Chairman, Tuskegee, Ala. W. D. Crum, Acting Chairman, Charleston, S. C. Of Booker T. Washington, the Commissioner-in-Chief, there is little new to be said. Known far and wide as the most distinguished Negro of his generation, and standing at the head and front of the new era of Negro industrialism, his selection was both logical and fitting. Had the 10,000,000 Negroes of the country been asked to name their choice for the place, there would not have been a corporal's guard in favor of anyone else after an announcement that Mr. Washington's services were available. No other man is the one-tenth part so capable as the "wizard" in planning what a representative exhibit should be, and none other would be able to draw from so many responsible sources the variety and quality of productions that are wanted. The marvelous mental grasp of Mr. Washington and his magnetic personality will be conspicuously in evidence in the work at Charleston. Dr. W. D. Crum, Assistant Commissioner of the Negro Department, has been practicing medicine in the city of Charleston for nineteen years, and is the oldest native practitioner in the State of South Carolina. He has been Chairman of the Republican Executive Committee of Charleston County for over eighteen years. Was appointed postmaster for the City of Charleston under Harrison's Administration. He is considered one of the best physicians in the South, and is the leading colored "man of affairs" in his State. His selection is indorsed by all classes, and the support given him is cordial and unanimous. Mr. Thomas J. Jackson, the Secretary and Field Agent, though quite a young man, has no superior in the country as a promoter of industrial exhibitions. He has a wonderful eye for details, a comprehensive idea of ensemble effects, and has the keenest of senses in determining where to find the best specimens of the product or manufacture he has set his mind upon obtaining. The amount of exertion necessary to bring about a result counts for nothing, and he annihilates distance by treating miles with contempt. Energetic and indefatigable, Mr. Jackson fits his position like a glove, and his previous work for similar exhibits, and at the famous Tuskegee conferences, leave no doubt as to the thoroughness or the success of his plans for Charleston. The Executive Committee is strong, and the components stand for the best thought of the community. They are well-known in many public relations. Mr. Miller is president of the State Industrial School at Orangeburg. He has been a prominent member of Congress. Mr. Sterrett is a well-equipped educator. Messrs. Lawrence and Bennett rank high in real estate circles. Mr. Dart is an eloquent minister, and Messrs. Parker and Ingliss are solid citizens. More will be said later of these gentlemen and their co-laborers. The Bureaus of Education, Manufactures, Mechanics, Social Culture and Home Life, Morals and Religion, Arts, Dentistry, Woman's Work and Music have been organized and a thoroughly competent person placed at the head of each one. It will be of interest to note that Prof. Kelly Miller, of Howard University, is at the head of Bureau of Education; Right Rev. M. B. Salter is head of Bureau of Morals and Religion; Dr. J. W. E. Bowen is head of Social Culture and Home Life; Mr. T. W. Thurston, manager of silk mill at Fayetteville, N. C., is head of Bureau of Manufactures. The other departments will be in skilled hands. It is the desire of the management to secure worthy exhibits from Negroes in all parts of the country, from each of the West India Islands, and from Africa if possible. It is to be the most complete exhibit ever made in the name of the race. Durability and not quantity, generally speaking, is what is wanted. The very best productions in the arts and sciences are needed to make the display truly symbolic of the race's highest possibilities and the officers wish the co-operation of the people everywhere toward this end. Inventions will be shown, such as the Burkins Machine Gun, L. C. Bailey's Truss, A. C. Bailey's Car Coupler, G. F. Dorsey's Burglar Alarm, and many others not so familiar to the public. There will be exhibits from schools, such as Tuskegee, Hampton, Alcorn, Avery, the schools of Washington City, art work by amateur club of Washington, and numerous other (Continued on page 6.) 3 FOR SALE At Charlottesville, Va.

A Word About the History of his Highly Interesing and Popular Organization —Told by our Re Incarnated "Man On-The-Corner. The instantaneous popularity of the Pen and Pencil Club has caused much inquiry as to how it was organized and what spirit brought it into existence. Papers throughout the country are commenting upon the club and several communications have come to this office. For several years, bright newspaper men have been coming to Washington from "all over." They wrote for their home sheets with more or less regularity, detailing with much fervor to their quondam constituents in the "provinces," the wonders of the capital city of the nation. The boys have gotten together informally at times, and agreed that there ought to be an organization that would bring men with a common purpose, a common ambition and a common usefulness more closely in touch. It was agreed from time to time that a concern of action at some critical moment might serve the race well, and there might exist in union a potential that this generation line dreamed of. The studio of a congenial friend, the stree corner, the literary and "other places" furnished the theater for meetings, and the "splendid thing" that Smith wrote last week for the Gotham Rage, or the "bright thought" that Jones got off in the editorial "header" of the "Bronzed Washingtonian," together with a reading of the poetical effusion from Groomey's latest muse, gave a zest to the conversation that was not violated by the "dampening" influences which were sometimes in evidence. On a rainy night—the night before George Washington's birthday—February 21, 1900, there was gathered in a modest room on the third floor of the Southern Hotel a trio of sympathetic spirits. Tuev were T. Thomas Fortune, of the New York Age, his faithful Washing on correspondent, W. T. Menard, L. M. Hershaw, the affervescent philosopher and raconteur, representing the Atlanta Age, and R. W. Thompson, associate editor of The Colored American. Fortune read some poetry that he intended should one day illuminate the literary neavens, Hershaw, Menard and Thompson planned out an ideal newspaper for the race and "on paper" drew the prospectus of a comprehensive international news service, with "plate matter" that would outshine "original stuff" as an arc light would outshine a callow-dip. Stories were told, and adieus were about to be said, when Fortune, in his cheery, bantering way, exclaimed: "Say, why don't you newspaper fellows take advantage of my next trip down to Washington and immoralize yourselves by giving a 'snack'—just a good old- fashioned Dutch luncheon—in honor of the most distingished pencilpusher of the Afro American fraternity? Brilliant lies, eh?" "Just the thing," echoed the local pair. "It has always been a matter of regret to the fellows here that your comings and going have not been anounced in such fashion as to make the necessary 'arrangements' in a town of busy men, whose engagements are as the sands of the sea." A date was tentatively agreed upon, and a list of eligible was commenced. The matter of organization was talk of and when the usual "tale of woe" about lack of cohesiveness was sprung, Fortune said impatiently: "What's the matter with organizing a Pen and Pencil Club right now—right here?" The idea was so novel and so suddenly flashed that Fortune kept the floor for another "speak." Said he: "We have all that we need for a temporary organization. Let us see how this would sound in the press: P. and P. Club organized-21stst. Parlors Southern Hotel-who knows but what it is in earshot of the White House? Attendance large, intelligent and representative. Hershaw is large enough to fill the first bill, Menard is intelligent with in the meaning of the statute, and Thompson will pass in a crowd as representative. Officers elected, etc.-no meeting of Afro-Americans ever adjourns without electing officers. Let The Colored American and the two Ages tell the country next week all THE COLORED AMERICAN, WASHINGTON, D. C. these things that will have then come to pass." Organization was agreed upon. Upon motion of Mr Fortune, Hershaw was elected president. Thompson was chosen as secretary and M nard was given the office of treasurer. By general agreement, Fortune was elected chairman of executive committee, and after permanent organization, he was to retire and go upon the rolls as honorary member No.1. The meeting then adjourned subject to the call of the president. On Saturday The Clared American contained a column, telling of the bermonious and successful meeting, illustrated by handsome cuts of President Hershaw and Editor Fortune, honorary head of the executive committee. Saturday evening, March 12, in the presence of distinguished company, Mr Fortune was dined by the Pen and Pencil Club. How long the club then languished in the vest pocket of its constitutional committee, that committee is best able to relate. Largely through the enterprise of Messrs Hershaw, Menard and Paynter, supplemented by the moral support of all who had since joined, the club was snatched as a brand from the burning and went on to g'oious achievements. The throes of permanent organization were nerve triving, and the adoption of the constitution was attended by more "points of order" than our forefathers at Philadelphia in 17.6 ever had had any idea could be drawn. The question of admission fees for charter and subsequent member of the House ways and means committee when a general tariff bill had to be disposed of. The result, however, was as satisfactory as human ingenuity could make it, and the club grew in strength. Of the meteoric success of Pen and Club Day at the Second Baptist Lyceum, the best citizens of the town can testify. The public indorsement was pronounced and unmistakable. The organization discovered that it had not only a literary, but a "social standing" that could be capitalized at at a premium. Then came the picnic—the banner outing of Washington home season. Nothing had ever been seen at Lake View to equal the crowd that came—ample in number, gorgeous as to costume, creamy as to quality, and as congenial as a Georgia colored boy and a ripe watermelon. The Club realizes that "There's a tide in the affairs of men, Which taken at the flood Leads on to fortune." Leads on to fortune." and the future of the organization has been made secure while the sun shines. The annual dinner in January will be a stellar event, and the "dignitaries" of the country are expected to take part. The Pen and Pencil Club now numbers forty. An examination of the roster will give an idea of who they are and what they stand for. The officers are: L M Hershaw, president; R. W. Thompson, 1st vice president; W. T. Menard 2nd vice president; Roscoe C. M Simmons, secretary; Robert Pelham jr. cor. secretary; H. P Slaughter, treasurer. Governing Board: Paul Laurence Dunbar, chairman; W. L. Houston, Samuel E. Lacy, Alex. L. Manly, Arthur S Gray. The 19 members who may one day rise to official distinction include: H Y Arnett, T. W. Allen, Paul H Bray, H E Baker, W. L. Board, J. C. Burrl's T. H. R Clarke, J C. Camp- pell James A Cobb, W Bruce Evans, William T Ferguson, John N. Goins L G. Gregory, E R. Gather, Charles E Hall, Thomas A Johnson M. Grant Lucas, Frank G Munly, Thomas H. Malone, Daniel Murray, John H Paynter, William L Pollard, A O Stefford, J W. F Smith, K. M Sims, Joseph H Stewart, R E Toomey, John H. Wills, Lucien H. White.

One of the best known colored citizens, educators and students of American history is Mr. Daniel Murray, who has so long filled one of the offices at the library of Congress that to visit the Capitol without chatting or paying one's respects to the sage of Negro Bibliography would be like witnessing the play of Hamlet with Hamlet left out. Mr. Daniel Murray is one of our colored philanthropists, and with Mrs. Murray, his noble wife, never tires in works of charity and educational hels that tend to make our people better, more studious and industrious. Mr. Murray is one of the few men of our race who has been elected as a member [Illustration of a man in a robe with a veil]. ALEXANDER POUSHKIN. of the Washington Board of Trade It is not generally known that Mr Daniel Murray is the acknowledged author of the present law of assessment and taxation in the District of Columbia. The colored people of the District should have a representative on the Board of Assessors, since they form one-third of the population, and their claim be comes doubly strong when one of them is author of the law acknowledged by Mr. Ross and the Board of Trade. To Mr. Murray is due the credit of our new manual training school, which he urged first by an article in The Evening Star and later induced the Commissioners to urge it upon Congress Senator Gorman in urging the appropriation in the Senate told how Mr. Murray had pressed it upon the committee and complimented him for his broad view saving, 'he urged it not alone for the colored boy, but the white boy as well' The appropriation passed the Senate, but was omitted in M. C. H. conference. Mr. Murray, year after year continued to urge the matter until at last his efforts were crowned with success. In this work he had the active aid of Gan't, George Haines, Dr w B. Evans, the principal is his brother-in-law. Mr. Murray has undertaken a work of great labor in connection with the Bibliography he is compiling of Afro-American and Afro-European authors Mr. Murray has found in his research THE COLORED AMERICAN, WASHINGTON, D. C. over sixteen hundred titles, and the publication with his notes will likely produce something of a sensation as he avers that Cagliostro, the necromancer, who about one hundred years ago startled the world, and whose fame is as bright today as ever, was of mixed blood—a mulatto. The mulatto will be shown to possess genius and ability equal to any race in the world, as evidenced by the career of Dumas, Poushkin, Saint Georges, Coleridge Taylor, Cagliostro, Richard Potter and others who could be named and who are accorded world-wide fame Cagliostro, it will be recalled, invented a new Adaptive Rite of Masonry extensively practiced in France today—the Egyptian Rite In the Mackey's cyclopedia there is an extended account, but no mention is made of his ("Cagliostro) race identity. Alexander Dumas wrote a novel based on his life. Mr. Murray's work is awaited with great interest. NEGRO ACHIEVING RESULTS (Continued from 1 t page.) features from other schools and business enterprises have been promised. In this latter connection the exhibit which Mr. Thomas J. Calloway collected for the Paris Exposition, and which was awarded seventeen medals, will be on exhibition. It is now at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo and is attracting considerable attention. Rev. T. W. Thurston, Superintendent of the Ashley Bailey Silk Mill at Fayetteville, N. C., which employs Negro help altogether, has been appointed Chief Director of the Manufacturing Department. He will send some of his best machines to the exposition in charge of a number of his picked employees, and will thus give practical demonstrations of silk manufacturing by Negroes. The cloth which will be woven there will be cut into numerous pieces and distributed to visitors. The Woman's Bureau or Bureau of Woman's Work with Mrs. E. F. Sterrett, of Charleston, at the head, will be a departure from the commonplace, and is already attaining large proportions. It is desired to secure exhibits representing what women are doing along all lines: Dressmaking, millinery, decorative wood and iron work, kindergarten, hair and wig making, poultry raising, etc. The management is also desirous of securing relics of by-gone days, such as old spinning wheels, looms, and heir-looms of all kinds, implements, etc., representing a "peep into the past," which will afford profitable and interesting comparisons with up-to-date machinery and methods. It is a matter for congratulation that the railroads and vessels entering Charleston have not only cheerfully agreed to furnish ample accommodations for colored visitors to the exposition, but pledge themselves to provide for them the same comforts, conveniences and attentions given to white passengers. There will be no discrimination whatever in the transportation facilities, and all Afro-Americans may come to Charleston without hesitation. The attendance promises to be large from the opening day, December 1, and all roads will lead to Charleston until June. Negroes from North, East, West and South should rally and make the Negro Building the cynosure of the world's eyes, for seldom has there been afforded so brilliant an opportunity to convince the doubts of our personal worth and enterprise, as Rev. Richard Carroll well said at the cornerstone laying, July 4: "The Negro exhibit will be a great school of learning for every class of people, white and black—the farmer, teacher, preacher, machinist, mechanic, engineer, fireman, carpenter, shoemaker, merchant, tailor, physician, soldier, statesman, lawyer, laborer, servant and others. All should come to this seat of learning by the seashore. Let the Ethiopian come and see "where the white people are," so we may stretch forth our hands. This exposition will open the eyes of the blind, make the deaf hear, the dumb speak and awake them that sleep.

Twenty Years a Boniface—Emanuel Murray—Atlantic City and Washington. No business man in our community is more widely known than Mr. Emanuel Murray, Caterer and Ice-cream manufacturer. Constant attention during the last twenty-five years has enabled him to thoroughly learn and understand his business and to know the public needs, while the growth and development of his de from the smallest of beginnings to its present proportions, is abundant proof that he must have given general satisfaction. During all these years business exigencies have forced him to differ nt sections in our community. This has however, given him more accurate knowledge of the business situation and enabled him to adapt himself to it. [Name] MR EMANUEL MURRAY. He began about twenty years ago as caterer at the well-known residence of the late Isaac N Cary 821 14th street northeast, then in the resident section, before the days of the many apartment houses and cafes. Next he went to 1118 K street, then to 1742 14th, corner of S, opposite his present place. This was in the days of bobtailed cars and the location was "way-out". The next step was to place himself at the corner of 14th and Q streets, much nearer to the churches and societies of those for whom he has always catered. It was while at this corner, that owing to misrepresentations and malicious reports his business completely collapsed. Nothing daunted, he established a dining room at 521 11th street northwest where he remained for only a comparatively short time. Being dissatisfied with the outcome here, he decided to pitch his test in another and more distant section, the southwest. Eleven years ago, with only one ice cream freezer and other equipment on the same diminutive scale, he moved to 111 F street. Here the people relied to his support and he at once began to expand. Being compelled to move into a larger place he secured the corner of Third and F Sts, now occupied by Dr L H Harris, where his business continued to grow and his old trade in the northwest returned with interest. For two seasons he conducted a very successful wholesale and retail ice cream business at Atlantic City. Owing to the expiration of his lase and disappointment in securing a house, he did not return this season, but the present indication is that he will be the proprietor of one of the very best establishments in that fashionable summer report during the season of 1902. The greatest and longest stride in his business career, however, was made in returning from the southwest to the present place 1300 14 h street, northwest, corner of 8 where all his facilities and equipment are on the same premises. As an evidence of his present capacity, he has now one thousand dollars invested in ice cream tubs and machinery of the latest date, by which every thirty minutes he can turn out twenty gallons of ice cream His output is from forty to one hundred gallons a day and he can easily THE COLORED AMERICAN, WASHINGTON, D. C. swell the number to three hundred gallons. Two wagons, one single and one double horse team and four men are needed to fill the orders in his ice cream department. In his cafe there are three employees, besides the members of his family. As a further evidence of the volume of his trade a recent Sunday found him with 57 orders to be filled, ranging from one of a kind to another as large as seven gallons. It is a common thing for him to sell as many as seventy-five or one hundred gallons a day. Has supplies churches, fans, weddings, receptions, dinner parties on the shortest notice, and it is quite monotocous on scanning his order book to find "River Queen" and "Lake View," fifteen gallons, twenty gallons, twenty-five gallons. At nearly all the popular functions of the season—such as those of the Masonic and Odd Fell was fraternities, the Pen and Pencil Club and the larger churches, Murray's Ice Cream has been in evidence; the only objection being that there was not enough of it. While caring largely for the trade of his own people, now as in the past, he fill many orders for those of the other race which bid fair to increase, because of his low rates, his fair dealing and the excellence of his dreams. THE QUEEN CITY NEWS. The Social Melange-A Washington Girl Captivates a Buckeye City-Notes. Cincinnati, Ohio, Special-This city this summer has been a scene of much pleasure, both religiously and socially, being the headquarters of the great Christian Endeavor Convention, a large number of delegates and friends attended.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 10, 1901. THE NEW NEGRO AT CHARLESTON- The Charleston Exposition will give the Negro the finest opportunity that he has yet had in this country to demonstrate his practical achievements as a people. It is not that we have not succeeded at previous displays of this kind. Indeed our showing at Atlanta was magnificent, and will always be remembered. Our exhibit at Paris was an eye-opener to the civilized world. We are doing well at Buffalo, and maintaining the respect of critical visitors from everywhere. Comparisons have not been odious with reference to any of these highly creditable milestones of progress. Charleston should outrank them all, however, for it has the advantage of being able to secure intact, or nearly so, the typical exhibits of former collections, and the added experience of those engaged in the work will be of immense advantage. With the best of Paris and Buffalo as a nucleus, the country can be scoured, North, East, South and West, for the later and more finished products of the farms, schools and shops, and the acquaintances made in the first investigation will blaze the way to reach territory previously unexplored The West Indies and Africa will for the first time be extensively featured, and as the world is moving rapidly on to these new soils, their resources will be of profound interest to Americans of both races. A creditable beginning has been made. The laying of the corner-stone afforded an opportunity for speeches that placed the engineers in happy accord, and the spirit of unity that has sprung up between the potential factors of Charleston and the pride of the substantial whites in the possibilities of their Negro neighbors, bespeak great results for the Exposition. It is serving as an educator and as a merger of material interests of the state of South Carolina and vicinity, which in itself fully justifies the labor expended in getting up the display. The press --- THE COLORED AMERICAN, WASHINGTON, D. C. of Charleston is making favorable sentiment, and Dr. Crum and the local managers are to be congratulated that they have succeeded so admirably in arranging for equal accommodations for visitors of our race, who might otherwise be put to serious inconvenience. Merchants and business men generally promise liberal treatment to all, and the churches and school houses will vie in extending the hospitality characteristic of whole souled southerners. The Exposition opens December 1, 1901, and its Negro Building will be a conspicuous feature throughout the season. The exhibit of the resources of our people in agriculture, industry, invention, literature, etc, will more than meet the most sanguine expectations. This opportunity to demonstrate what we have done and are capable of doing is too valuable to be lost. We should and will make the most of it. It will mark our present limit in the arts and sciences. That the representation will be worthy of the race is guaranteed in the fact that the greatest living Negro, Booker T. Washington, is at the head of the enterprise In Dr. Crum, Mr. Jackson, Rev. Richard Carroll, and the public spirited executive board he has a corps of assistants that can be depended upon to give the best that is within them The new Negro will be seen to advantage at Charleston. OUR OVER-OLEGATED CHURCHES The Colored American has never neglected an opportunity to praise the progress, massive character and splendid executive management of the A. M. E. and A. M. E. Zion churches. They are wonderful institutions, and illustrate the organizing power residing in the AfroAmerican and cultivate as no other forces do, the spirit of ownership and race leadership. We are compelled, however, to join in the almost universal criticism voiced by the Negro press against the inexcusable extravagance in the matter of delegates to the Ecumenical Conference at London. The A. M. E. Church provides for eighteen at an expense of $7,200. The Zion Church sends twenty-one at an expense of $4,200. Thirty-nine delegates at an aggregate expense of $11,400—and it is reported that only two (Bishop Arnett and Editor Kealing] are on the program for addresses! The times are prosperous, we grant, and collections are good, but there is nothing in the situation to warrant this elaborate indulgence in delegates to London. No doubt a "junket" to the greatest city in the world is a treat that our churchmen will enjoy for a lifetime, and the culture and experience gained by travel and observation will doubtless be a good thing for the race, but when this enormous amount of money is drawn from the pockets of hard working men and washerwomen who have given liberally of their means that the purposes of the church along educational and missionary lines might go on, a dangerous example is set. The talk it will occasion will do the churches no good. Schools are dying for the want of financial assistance, papers are reducing size and expense for lack of means, and the country is flooded with appeals by general officers for money to improve their departments. Congregations are debt-ridden and preachers who cannot reach the populous centers can scarcely collect a living salary. Times may not always be as flush as at present, and these great churches should go slow in spending public money for a jaunt that should be taken at their personal expense in the majority of the instances—if they wish to visit London at a pleasant season of the year. The New York Age very sensibly suggests that four Bishops and four laymen from each denomination would be adequate. This would cost $6,400 a saving of $5,000, which could well go to the development of church work. Sixteen delegates would ably represent us at the Ecumenical gathering. More would be an extravagance in which the race cannot afford to indulge. As Mr. Fortune well says, "We need representation, but we need it in moderation." Economy in time of plenty makes ease in time of stringency. CO-OPERATIVE THINGS DEFEATS POVERTY A pending divorce suit develops that it is possible for an enterprising colored man and a helpful wife to accumulate a fortune of $150,000 in twenty years The case at issue is regarded by the friends of each as peculiarly unfortunate, and it is sincerely hoped that an adjustment may be had without further resort to court. The money disclosed is a splendid object lesson, however, to aspiring young people of what can be accomplished by husband and wife, acting together, working together, saving together, and grasping opportunities for profitable investment of earnings. Poverty need not always be the badge of the Negro tribe. Prof. Frank L. Cardozo, Jr., has done the community a distinct service in bringing forward the vacation school idea. There is a demand for it, and he is satisfying that demand to a nicety The idea promises to be a permanent feature of our school system. Miss Russell is also to be commended for her painstaking work along the same line Their assistants are laboring cheerfully, despite the hot weather, and their public spirit is admirably shown in the fact that they work without money and without price. Prof. Cardozo is a coming man in the nation's capital. When wives insist upon visiting houses of questionable repute, and think more of playing cards and drinking beer than they do of their domestic duties. the divorce court may look for an early job. A public man must not complain if the bright-witted newspaper man punctures him when he renders himself amenable to criticism. Some idiot out in Illinois has starcted in to remedy matrimonial infelicity by legislation. He is a running mate to the Alabama imbecile who attempts to eradicate race prejudice by municipal ordinance. Hon, George H. White is ready to receive any official communication which the distinguished gentleman at the White House may wish to bring to his attention. Preachers who "jump on" newspaper men jump off as quickly as the individual who attempted once upon a time to sit on a red-hot stove. The fool killer has been negligent of late in this neck o' the woods. His services are in demand, and he might bring along a few able-bodied helpers. Many a man passes for learned who merely has a wonderful "gift of gab." An exchange hints that Justices Brown, Gray and White give color to the Supreme Court. We have also noticed that the court is invariably Fuller when Brewer is on duty. Baltimore had a tunnel to cave in the other day. What on earth has Providence got against Baltimore that it is visited with so many punishments of late? Sheriff Joseph, Merrill would make an admirable governor of Georgia. Platform: "The majesty of the law must be sustained at any price." The fifteenth amendment is a wall that the constitution sharps in Virginia and Alabama have a hard time climbing over. A paper will not necessarily suspend because you come around and cut off the one you have not paid for. See? It has been dsicovered that it is an offense against the laws of the District to assault the person of Lawyer Thomas as L, Jones. Mea orandum to disorganizing New groes: Please do not rock the boat in midstream. It is dangerous. The "man with the hammer" puts in more time and works harder than the "man with the hoe." It is due one's friends to so live that when assailed they may with confidence rally around you. Next week's convention in Chicago should draw well. The Rhode Island News. Providence, R. I., Special-One of the largest trolley parties that has gone out of Providence for several seasons was given by the Young Men's Business Club on Thursday evening July 25. Strenuous efforts had been made by the members to make a success of this trip and as a result of their earnest endeavors a most flattering accomplishment was realized. About four hundred and fifty persons boarded three electrics which had been chartered for the occasion, and shortly after 8 o'clock were speeding towards Palace Garden. Here they spent a most enjoyable evening in merriment of a high degree. The Mozart Orchestra accompanied the party and assisted to enliven the occasion. A very creditable concert was given at the People's A. M. E. Zion church Sunday evening July 28 by the church choir. The chorus singing was well rendered and the three solos by Mrs. Sadie Bowen, Miss E. Thornton and Mr. R. Denson were worthy of special mention. The engagement is announced of Mr. Frank Dixon and Miss Sadie Perry. The Sunday-school connected with the Peoples' church enjoyed an outing at the famous shore resort—Rocky Point on Narragansett Bay-on Wednesday day July 24. A large number of friends accompanied the school and a day of enjoyment was spent by all who were fortunate enough to attend. Libraian Herbart Putman is a delightful gentleman to meet. He is no respector of persons, and like all really intelligent men, judges solely upon merit. He is fair in his treatment of his subordinates, regardless of color or politics. $75 to $150 PER MONTH MADE BY AGENTS Elegant premiums Free. Address P. O. Box $70 Louisville, Ky.

Facts in the Career of a Brilliant and Useful Young Business Man, who Illustrated by his own Success That There is an Abundant Field for Afro-Americans who Come Prepared—His Strength with the Moral Forces of Washington. To the Afro-American people, banking is almost an unexployed territory, but four prosperous enterprises are now in the field. The pioneer institution that ventured to handle the finances of the people of the country was the Capital Savings Bank, of Washington, D. C., and it is sull the leader in its line. The bank has been in existence for upwards of two decades, and points with pardonable pride to the fact that it is one A. of the few injured concerns of the city which weathered the terrible panic of 1893 without a tremor. It has from its inception enjoyed the confidence of the community, and has been officered by the most substantial citizens of the District. To the efficient management, unfailing tact and energy of Mr. Douglass B. McCary the lion's share of the bank's remarkable achievements is due. He is a Mississippian by birth, and his family was one of the best in that state, his father having served for several years as postmaster at Natchez. Young McCary's boyhood days were marked by an aptitude for learning that comes to few. At fifteen he was a clerk in the post office, and a year later he became a mail agent—an unprecedented achievement for one of his tender age. Political changes brought him to Washington in 1887. After a complete course in bookkeeping, banking and mathematics at the Spencerian Business College here, he entered the service of the Capital Savings Bank, splendidly equipped for the exacting duties of bookkeeper and cashier. Mr. McCary is said to have been the youngest cashier ever appointed in the city of Washington, and at the time of his appointment, he was the only Negro bank official in the country. Mr. McCary, during the fifteen years he has so capably cared for the interests of the Capital Savings Bank, has been one of the busiest men in town, but he has never neglected a duty nor failed to live up conscientiously to a just obligation. He has a wide circle of acquaintances among the business men of all classes in Washington, and his personal standing among them is indicated by the courtesies extended to him on all public occasions where the commercial and professional elements control. His agreeable personality has made him a host of friends, and the advantage of dealing with so pleasing and courteous a gentleman has gone far toward enhancing the institution in the eyes of the populace. Among the depositors of the bank, whose patronage has been largely influenced by his personality and straight-forward business methods are many ministers and churches, teachers, and other professional representatives. As a savings bank for working men and women, Mr. McCary has brought the Capital up to a premier rank among the repositories of the District. He has control of the rentals of the Capital Savings Bank Building, a well-appointed four story structure in which are housed some of the leading factors in the activities of Washington's variegated clientage. Mr. McCary is especially strong with the leaders of movements for the mental, moral and material development of the race. His own career is an example of what a young man should be, and his energies are devoted to the promotion of beneficial organizations and substantial progress, having no time to engage in anything of a purely social nature such as clubs which meet for no set purpose. His course along all lines has been governed by lofty principles, and the results are such as arouse the pride and command the approval of the best classes among us. Mr. McCary is a graduate of the law department of Howard University, having also completed the post-gradu- THE COLORED AMERICAN, WASHINGTON D.C. ate course. He was appointed by President Cleveland a notary public in and for the District of Columbia, and was re-appointed by President McKinley. He is married, and has a beautiful home, the nest of four happy, bright-faced children. The facts of Douglass B. McCary's history teach our youth of ability and character to thoroughly fit themselves for any position they think themselves competent to fill, and look to our progressive life to afford a field for opportunities to apply their well stored, well-assorted and practical knowledge. Mr. McCary illustrates forcibly that there is a place for the Afrc-American youth who comes laden with talents that somebody needs. Saratoga Jottings. Saratoga is blooming with the gay resorters that come each summer to bathe in the amusements which make life a constant comfort. There is no place on earth that one can resort to for more pleasure and solid comfort than this. Even the humble waiterman who bears away broiled chicken, beefsteak, cabbage and cornbeef on the palm of his skillful hand breakes forth even in hours of weariness, how we enjoy our selves. The colored visitor to Saratoga has access to every place of amusement within the reach of his financial means, and it is well known that he takes advantages of such as well as the places take advantage of him. Therefore since the outcry has been, things have been so dull and now as they can see the dawn of a financial light brought about by the incoming sports, and as they are only here for thirty days, boys make hay while the sun shines. We are sorry to note that Mr. Peter Bryan of Atlantic City, having come to Saratoga to work in the capacity of walter was taken suddenly ill with brain fever at the Perry Cottage, Thursday August 1st. He was moved to the Village, hospital, where he became unconscious, and remained so for two days. He departed his life Eriday evening at 10 p.m. He leaves a wife, Mrs. Lizzle Bryan, to mourn her loss. He was faithfully attended by the hospital physician, his wife, the nurses and other friends, but with all their efforts they failed to restore him to consciousness. Being employed in the U. S.
