The COLORED American LIBRARY OF CONGRESS NATIONAL NEGRO NEWSPAPER HONORED HIS:REMAINS. The Oriola City Mourns for President McKinley-Receptions Await the return of the Ministers-Col. Sly Gives a Stag-Political Managers at Work The Social Mirror-Notes. Baltimore, Md., Special-The sorrowful countenances, decoration in mourning of public buildings and private residences, whispered conversations in public and private all tell with what sorrow, this community is affected by the death of President McKinley. While the people were indulging the fondest hopes for his complete recovery, and preparations were being made to give a public demonstration thankfulness for his recovery, during this happy period came the shocking news of the fatal relapse, and the following auxious hours and moments until his sad death. At the several churches on Sunday appropriate ser mons, extolling the good qualities of the deceased, denouncing the sprit, of mob violence which is responsible for the sad taking off of our President. The funeral train passed through Baltimore at 7:20 on Monday evening, over the Pennsylvania railway, and thousands of people assembled and with bowed heads and tearful eyes saw the funeral train pass on to Washington. The A. M. E. ministers who were delegates to the Eumenical Conference in London, will soon return to resume their duties as pastors. Extensive preparations are being made at the several churches to give the returning pastors a hearty welcome. Rev. J W. Beckett pastor at Trinity church, Rev. J. Albert Johnson, pastor of St. John's Rev. John Hurst, pastor of Bethel, will all be given public receptions by their several churches and elaborate programs are being arranged to make the events noteworthy. "Col" George Sly who is a "fixture" at the Arlington Hotel Washington and Wast End Hotel Long Branch, and an old Baltimoreau stopped in Baltimore during the week, as is his custom every year. On Sunday last at the home of Mrs. William J, Gray, where the "Col" always stops, a sumptuous repast was given by the "Col" to a few of his friends. An elaborate menu was provided, and the genial "Col" spared no painsto make everything pleasant for his guest. Those present were: Councilman Hiram Walty, Ex. Councilman Harry L. Cummings, Jos. Jn H.

Berkley Harry B. Jackson, Jas. Awkward, Dr. R. H. Johnson, Jes. M. Bright and Charles J Gray. On Thursday, the "Col." had a party of his friends to dinner,a'Jordan's fishing shore. Mrs. Blanche T. Cummings, wife of Hon. Harry L. Cummings and her daughter, have completely recovered under the skilful treatment of Dr. Wm. T Carr, Jr., assisted by Miss Alice Harris, an experienced and trained nurse. The City Council of Baltimore met on Monday evening, after a recess of several months. The meeting was merely formal. After adopting resolutions of sympathy on account of the death of President McKinley, the Council adjourned. Regular weekly meetings will be held now and many matters of importance will be parsed upon during the Winter. Councilman Watty, who is on several important committees, has several urgent matters of legislation to get through. The work of the campaign has been temporarily suspended because of the death of the President, nothing but routine work being done. At the be- ginning of next October, work will be done. Registration and naturalization will be the first work to be done after which instructions to illiterates, and public meetings will occupy the time until election day. The prospect is bright for a Republican victory. Hon. Harry L Cummings addressed a large audience at the Academy of Music, Cumberland, Md., on Friday evening of this week. Dr, Howard E. Young, the pharmacist, is succeeding as the proprietor of the only colored drug store in the city. The Doctor has a full stock of the best drugs, is painstaking and courteous and is receiving the patronage of both races in his neighborhood. Dr. Young is a member of the State Pharmaceutical Association and is highly respected. Mr. Jacob C. Nicholson, the popular principal of Colored School, No. 112, has returned to the city from Atlantic City, where he has been engaged in the Sea Food and Game business. Mr. Nicholson is in the best of health, and spirits and is ready for the arduous duties of the school year. Arlie. PRICE FIVE CENTS. THE ZION BAPTIST CHURCH Celebrates Its Thirty-Seventh Anniversary in a Grand Way-Only Three Pastors in Thirty Seven Years-Rev. W. J. Howard, and His Matchless Work as a Minister, Organizer and Leader. Zion Baptist church on F street between 3 d and $4 \frac{1}{2}$ streets, s.'w., celebrated its 37th anniversary from the 8th to the 15th of this month. It was indeed "seven days of joy and gladness in Zion," as well as seven days of rejoicing and giving. Zion Baptist church is one of the big churches of the colored Baptists of America, and though young as compared with a great many ef them, it surpasses and stands near the front rank in its membership, its Sunday-school department, its Christian Endeavor work and the harmony which exists between these departments and the pastor of the church. The history of the church is interesting, and though covering but a period of 37 years it has given the full measures, as well as exceeded the most sanguine expectations of its friends and members. In August 1861, a number of persons organized, held prayer-meet- and worshipped until July, 1863. They then moved into Jackson's School House, located at that time at Delaware Ave., and L street, southwest, where they remained until they built their first meeting house on June 1867. They later bought of Mr. Simpson on F street s. w., where in 1870 they built. Four houses of worship have been built in these 37 years. In this time those pastors have served, namely: Rev, William Walker [deceased] who served from 1864 to 1869; Rev. William Gibbons, [deceased] who served from 1869 to 1886, and the present pastor, Rev. William J. Howard, who has served until the present, average time of pastorage about 124 years. The present number of members enrolled in this church, 2225; Sunday-school, 1380; Christian Endeavor, 350. This church was founded by the late Rev. William J. Walker with the following nine members, whom he baptised Sept. 12th; 1864:—Betsey Branson, Henry Conoway, Harriet Harris, Fannie Sydnor, Jane Gwynn, Susan Landon, Hannah Matthews, Nelson Elliot and Andrew Jackson. From the very beginning this church seemed to be under the guiding star of the Master. It has grown from small beginnings to its present magnitude. When Rev, William J. Howard, the present pastor, was called to take care of the church he accepted the honor (Continued on page 5.) 10 Everybody Eats CORBY'S "MOTHER'S BREAD." It is easily the best bread in the world.

Editor E J Wating Making it hot for the old Line Republicans-He Resorts to Facts and Figures. (Columbus Dispatch) Everett J. Waring, independent candidate for state senator in this district makes a fierce attack upon what he pleased to call the "Court House Ring." He complains that the color of people only get the crumbs in the distribution of official patronage under the Republican office holders, and submits a table showing an aggreaf of $135,400 which is distributed annually among the office holders, and their white assistants, while the aggregate paid colored employers is given as only $4,380. The table follows: Total Paid C l ored Men Probate Court - $19,000 $600 Clerk of courts - 21,000 600 Treasurer - 28,000 600 Sheriff - 22,000 720 Auditor - 25,000 480 Commissioner - 10,000 600 Prosecutor - 10,400 780 Grand Totols - $135,400 $4,380 The article then concludes: 'This is a sample of political justice, as understood by Franklin county Republicans If we re-lect Hayes, Amlin and Pearce, will colored men gain anything? As far as colored Republicans are concerned in this county, there is too much of this "Heads-I-win-talk-you-lose" business. Broad-mined liberal men like Rownd Dillon, Huggins, Hatch, Bowland, Heggerty, Earnhart and Dugenbury, must assume the party management, and drive these narrow-mined, cheap leaders to the rear, where they belong." In a separate article Mr. Waring complains that Jerry Brown is employed at Republican state headquarters at a salary of $300 a month to organize the colored vote, and that his appointment was made against the protest of the better element of colored Republican votes. The article calls upon Brown to resign and make room for some worthy representative of the race. But it is safe to say that Jerry will not do this particularly if the position pays what Waring says it does. Note Regarding the Delineator for October. STYLES FOR THE WINTER. The easiest and simplest way we can suggest for our readers to get a good idea of the styles that will be popular this winter is to buy a copy of The October Delineator, just on sale at every news stand. The Delineator for October foreshadows, by means of its New York, Paris and London connections, those tendencies of fashion which will certainly prevail. In addition to the fashion features and practical dressmaking advice that has made The Delineator famous, the October number is full of good general reading, most tastefully illustrated under the immediate direction of the well known artist, William Martin Johnson. Mr. Johnson's work is known to lovers of the beautiful, by reason of the Garfield edition of Ben Hur, as well as some other books of large sale. Mr. Johnson believes in illustrations that illustrate, rather than in pictures that only ornament a page. The whole October number of The Delineator is full of interest to men as well as to women. $75 to $150 per month made by agents. Elegant premiums Free. Address P. O. Box 570 Louisville, Ky.

WASHINGTON. D. C. NEGROES MOURN McKINLEY. Leaders Say He Was Their Greatest Friend Since Lincoln. Nonemourn more sincere'y the death of President McKinlay than the Negro citizens of the country. Churchmen and laymen in New York united yesterday in paying tribute to his memory and in expressions of sorrow at his assassination. Under President Mckinley's first Administration the Negro race in the country received the highest political preferment in its history. The blahops of the church, and the laymin recognized as leaders were alwa's received cordially by Mr.McKinley; and he often expressed to them his deep concern as to the welfare of the race. The Rev. Dr. H. P. Parks, Secretary of the Home and Foreign Mission Department of the A. M. E. Church, said yesterday: "There were no citizenz who held the President in higher esteem than the Afric-Americans. He was the most able statesman that the country has produced and no President has had so many complicated affairs to deal with as he, yet in the discharge of all his duties he excercised great wisdom and much patriotism and Christian fortitude. He was a thorough American and his death is a great loss to his country and to my race. He was deeply concerned about the American Negro and wanted him to attain his full status as a man and a citizen under the American flag. The Negroes every where mourn the loss of their greatest friend since Lincoln." Other colored ministers express similar sentiment's. Musical Note. Director J. Henry Lewis whose active participation in our musical events was suspended by reason of the sudden leath last May of his accomplished daughter and help meet, is now taking up his work for the season. He has just returned from Richmond, Va. with the Amphions, where they gave a highly successful musicale on Labor day. They also sang by special invitation in three of the largest churches there. They are to fill a return engagement before the Holdays. This is the tenth year of the Amphions existence, and Mr. Lewis has good reason to feel elated by their continued success and usefulness. It is probably the oldest organization of the kind in the United States. The Asbury church choir of which Mr. Lewis is also director, begun its regular work Sunday September 8, and it is his intention to increase the choir membership to forty persons, preparatory to presenting another oratorio before the Holidays. The Dvorsk Musical Society, another organization that has reflected great credit, will be reorganized during the coming month, and they will doubtless be heard from here or elsewhere during the season. Possibly their first appearance will be in the True Reformers hall, at Richmond, which has ample facilities. Several changes will be made in the cast of characters and the management, but the persons who were the main supporters of Mr. Lewis in the effort to present the 'Pirates of Perzance' will be connected with the reorganized society, which will soon be incorporated and become one of our permanent local musical institutions. That is as it should be for their effort washhighly successful, CURES WEAK MEN FREE. CURES WEAK MEN FREE. SEND NAME AND ADDRESS TO-DAY-YOU CAN HAVE IT FREE AND BE STRONG AND VIGOROUS FOR LIFE.

ROSEBUD FOUNTAINS. "fly-eaglism'much more good would be accomplished. The average Negro press convention is run by a set of politicians ministerial and otherwise, who are seeking office or notoriety and little, if any, real business is done at these meeting. The last meeting of the National Afro-American Press Association at Philadelphia was a farce and a 'joke.' The president, who by the way, was reelected, appointed a committee of five on nomination. Only three of the five were active newspaper men. Of the other two, one was a minister and the other, a stenographer. It is needless to say that when the report was brought in, it was made to order, and to suit the president who appointed it. The colored press association should be in the hands of such men as W. E King of "The Dallas Express," William H. Steward, of "The American Baptist," C. J. Perry of "The Philadelphia Tribune," Jerome B Peterson of "The New York Age," W. E Brown, of "The Reformer, Richmond Va." Rev. I. B. Scott of "The Southwestern Christian Advocate," A. E Manning of "The Indianapolis World," and J H me Chilliers of "The Topeka Plain deler." These are all practical newspaper man who have made successes out of their business and whose ambition is to succeed in their chosen profession. After this issue "The Colored American" will devote a page to the Nation I Afro-American Business Leauge. It will print all letters and communications concerning the League and will keep the members of the League as well as the readers of The Colored American posted on the progress that is being made. There is no agent so powerful in the development of the Negro at this time as the Business League. In every community where there are any number of colored men in business, a league should be organized. In the large cities, the different classes of men in business should organize. The first meeting held at Boston and the second one held in Chicago last month were means of great good (Chicago colored newspapers to the contrary notwithstanding). The President of the League Prof. Booker T. Washington, needs no introduction, and any information can be had by writing him or the manager of The Colored American.

It stands for the voice of the people, representing co- operation and combination of the race and is the Beacon Light, the Headlight, the General Messenger and the General Agent of the Brotherhood. It is $1.00 per year. A well-equipped job office bids for the work of the people, which is turned out in first class style and at low prices. Six miles from Richmond, in Henrico County, Va., the Order has purchased 634 acres of land, and established thereon an "Old Folk's Home." With un- examplied liberality and broad-minded generosity, the Order does not limit entrance to this home to its members alone, nor even to members families, but the doors are opened to the aged and decrepid of the whole race, regardless of their residence or connections. The Order makes itself the trustee for this glorious charity, and calls upon the whole people, black and white, North, East, South and West to assist by their contribution the carrying out of this praiseworthy idea.

We have never yet been able to discover what it is in human nature that embitters itself against the payment of a newsdaper sub-cription. People who read the paper and who like the paper will not pay for it. People who are able to pay for it won't pay for it. Because of these things the publisher finds that out of every thousand subscribers, less than forty per cent, pay, and it takes what they pay to run the paper, so that the margin of the publisher's profit is very small. The subscribers of The Colored American are superior in intelligence and in honesty and in promptness to the subscribers of other race papers, hence we do not apprehend any delay or any trouble in receiving our money. Pictures of Great Negroes This office is prepared to fill orders for lithographs, large size, of prominent colored men at the rate of 50 cents per copy unframed or $150 framed. The list includes such noted men as Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington, B. K Bruce, Macco, J. C. Price, Bishop Arnett, John R Lynch, Hon. Judson W. Lyons and others. Now is a most excellent time for teachers who are interested in their schools to secure pictures of prominent men of the race, frame them and decorate their school rooms before the opening of the school. All orders may be addressed to The Colored American, 459 C street northwest, Washington, D, C. --- 12 The Editor's Corner There is no class of men who are so persistently and systematically robbed as the publishers of newspapers. Not only do subscribers think it cute and smart not to pay a subscription bill, but advertisers and people who seek notoriety through the columns of the newspapers take all mean advantages of the publisher and will not pay a bill unless they are forced to do it. The colored publisher especially is the victim of these comorants. He suffers most from delinquent subscribers and he suffers much from bad pay advertisers and fakirs who are constantly demanding his space, but absolutely refuse to pay for it when they get it. The average Negro publisher is poor at best and can ill-afford to lose that which is due him. He suffers not from any lack of ability to manage a publication, but from the fact that those of his race who are able to help, will not help, and those who are willing to help are, as a rule, unable to help. There is another school of troutlers—the delinquent subscribers. They will pay nobody. They wouldn't pay the "lowly Nazarene" if he were here. But the Negro publisher is expected to be up-to-date, to print all of the latest news, to make his paper as newsy, as spicy and mechanically and typographically as pretty as the white publisher. Thewhite publisher gets the advertisements and the subscriptions and he gets pay for them. In addition he gets the moral support of his constituents, and is helped, when he needs help. A number of fake advertising concerns are invading the colored news papers. The latest one out is "The Asthma Cure Free," backed up and handled by Dr. Taft Bros'. Medical Company, 79 E 130.h street, New York City, N. Y. More than fifty colored newspapers are carrying this advertisement and not one of them will get a penny. Those who have any doubts about the above statement should send in their bills at once. Another fake advertising concern operated at Decatur, Ill, with D. N. Rose as manager and offering soaps and perfumes and the likes for a song is in quite a number of race papers, and some of them are still carrying the advertisement. If the publishers of race papers were better organizd and more united they could obtain a larger amount of advertising and could get better pay for it. They are too jealous of each other, however, to do any business along this line. Every fellow is for himself. If he gets a contract through a brother editor he wants his pay in advance, and wants two prices for it. The same editor will print all sorts of fake advertisements for white concerns and he never gets a penny for it. The writer of this column undertook to syndicate some advertising more than two years ago and in order to test the value of certain papers as advertising mediums, he made short contracts. There was no money in the deal, but for the sake of the experiment, the writer offered to pay for the work by making any kind of cuts or illustrations. The members of the Press gang took up the matter in good spirits, with few exceptions, and most of them as a result of the deal have secured regular business from the firm. Some of the papers, more than the number of digits, have received as much as five hundred dollars a year in advance on contracts which came out of this deal. If the managers of the National AfroAmerican Press Association would give some attention to the business features of their papers and less to politics, and --- THE GRAND FOUNTAIN.

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. 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 Tonies. 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. BENEZIA KAIA MAY SHEAR LAFTER 1800-1866 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. The good effects on the hair are seen in a day or two after the first application. the following goods: 4 Boxes of Ozono, worth $2.00. 1 Bottle Electrical Skin Refiner, worth 50c. 1 Bottle Electrical Skin Food, worth 50c. 1 Package (1 pint) Anti-Odor, worth 50c. 1 Package Scalp Soap, worth 50c. Total, $4.00. 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.

(CLEVELAND PLAINDEALER.) Aged and bent colored veterans, many from the center of the black belt of the south, relieved their pent up feelings with tears and shouts together with hundreds of their white comrades from nearly every state in the Union last night at the Gray's armory. sympathetically towards the eager crowd and with a broken voice he said, "This, my dear comrades, is probably the last time the old man shall see you. I love you, colored and white, you're all the same to me, and so in departing I leave you in the hands of the God of As the camp fire of the colored troops progressed the successive speakers seemed to be inspired by some unseen power and many of the sentiments ex pressed will pass into history as the most remarkable of the entire encampment. Questions that politicians have been in in the habit of discussing almost in whispers, fearful of stirring up intense feeling, were handled by notable men last night with Gen. O C Howard, the idol of the colored civil war veterans, started a campaign against anarchy and lynch law with a ringing speech, that he says he purposes to end in the halls of congress. "There are no black men and no white men here tonight," said the beloved general, "but this hall is filled with grand American citizens. "The bloody days of war are over, but new perils threaten the nation that must be strangled, and strangled at at once. "Anarchy, the venomous spirit of hate and malice, is rearing its hissing head in this country. And with all my XC MR. GEORGE A. MYERS, Chairman Camp Fire Committee. strength I wish to sink into your minds the fact that anarchy is treason. "It is now the duty of congress to pass certain laws that will go after treason with the force of a trip hammer. Laws must be enacted that will be carried out if every Anarchist that roams in our great cities has to bite the dust. "The awful custom of lynchig American citizens without any show being given the bleeding victims must also be stamped out The satanic spirit of hell that these awful scenes breath forth is only half the pity. But the fact that the majesty of the law is being trampled upon is the great curse of these terrible affairs." A mighty cheer that set the rafters of the armory ringing greeted the fervid utterances of the noble old soldier. When the feelings of the auditors were under control Gen. Howard leaned 2 [Name] unguarded frankness; unguarded frankness; sympathetically towards the eager crowd and with a broken voice he said "This, my dear comrades is probab y the last time the old man shall see you. I love you, colored and white, you're all the same to me, and so in departing I leave you in the hands of the God of the heavens and of all peoples." As the general left the platform and started to leave the hall the unique audience arose as if with one impulse and cheered the old commander to the echo, Following Gen. Howard, Congressman Burton spoke especially to the old colored "heroes" of the bright pages which they have written in American history, and of what the American people yet expected. When Gov Nash stepped to the front of the stage he received one of the most significant greetings given to him during the encampment. It was three minutes before he could make his voice heard in the hall. He said in part: "I do not propose to talk about the deeds of the colored people, for we all know them and the people of Ohio are A. B. HON. CHAS. W. ANDERSON. The Eloquent New Yorker and Orator of the occasion. magnanimous enough to acknowledge them. "But I do propose to talk about the results of that war. When it was ended no longer did hum an slavery exist in this country. "And then the colored man acquired the same right to obtain property and to vote that I possessed. "But what I do want to say that the movement to disfranchise the Negro already started in some of the states, is a burning outrage. You who have fought for the preservation of the union are not to be disfranch sed by those who fought against it. "And I stand here to tell you that a great workis left for us to do and a terrible blot on our country's record must be wiped away. "And I am not ashamed of the record of Ohio in regard to the evil of lynch law. On the contrary I am proud that there has not been a lynching in Ohio for some years. But one attempt has been made and that at Akron. The attempt frustrated happily for the honor of Ohio and over twenty-five of those who attempted the great crime are now behind the penitentiary walls. But the nation must be aroused and the honor of law and true Americanism held up for the benefit of all men in THE COLORED AMERICAN, WASHINGTON, D. C. our grand commonwealth." The governor came into the hall leaning heavily on a cane, but in the earnestnest of his address he forgot all about his weakened condition and spoke with unusual force. The spirit of the gathering had thrown down all party barriers and so Col. James Kilbourne, the Democratic nominee for the governorship of Ohio, appropriately followed. Gov. Nash. In a brief addresss, breathing patriotism in every sentence, Col. Kilbourne eloquently indorsed the sentiments of Gov. Nash. The listeners were hushed by the touching manner in which Col. Kilbourne told of the beauty, wisdom and sweet effect of such gatherings as are now being held in Cleveland. Hon. C. W. Anderson of New York to whom the colored citizens of the country are proud to refer, was then introduced. Instead of saying complimentary things about the war record of his race, he called upon them to rise to even greater perils that now surrounds them and to fight another battle for the opportunity of enjoying an equal chance in the race of life. As he told of the loyalty of the colored troops the veterans before him fairly shouted their approbation. And if the colored man cheered, his white brother joined with applause equally as lot d. The enthusiasm of the audience over the burning address of Mr. Anderson had a remarkable effect upon many of the colored troops in the hall. These old soldiers had journeyed to Cleveland from the cotton fields of the far south, where such scenes as that enacted at Gray's armory last night are unheard of and practically impossible. They gazed about in open-mouthed astonishment and many of them gave way and wept like children. Visitors from Cleveland who were in the galleries and scattered about through out the crowd on the main floor looked also upon the scene with astonishment. The speaker finished, the meeting was over, but a wonderful lesson had been taught that could never be forgotten. As the crowd passed out of the armory a number of old white veterans captains of colored troops during the days of battle, found an old colored comrade here and there and joyfully joined with them in reminiscences of the old days of years ago.

ANTAGONIZED BOOKER WASHINGTON But Was Snubbed-Justus Evans Falls Through In Hartford-Knights of Pythias Elect Officers For the Year-Young Society Man Left One Girl and Married Another-Interesting Personals. Hartford Conn., Special:—The Rev. Justus James Evans, known as "The Prophet of the Lord, lectured at Grand Army Hall, Main street, Tuesday evening, Sept. 5th, to a fair seized audience. His object was two-fold; first, he was introduced as being the General Agent of the Deleware Industrial School for Orphan, Indigent and Neglected Children of the Colored race. He is trying to raise $3000 to buy a Deleware farm for this Industrial School. Second, he is trying to make our people see that God intends that the Negro shall become a great people, not by the aid of the white people, or any other people, but through the intelligence that is in his own race and, the Arm of the Lord alone. He took God's dealing with the Jews and other Biblical characters to strengthen his theory. He exhibited a chart and picture showing his plans and each person that bought one of the charts became a member of his school: "The G. Wisdom College Divine" as it is styled. He would instruct you in the mysteries of this school by letters and the newspapers. The charts were worth one dollar. We don't think The Prophet got many members or sold many pictures in Hartford. We doubt very much if the whole event paid a small collection. Miss Jennie James at this writing is still very ill. Mr. Robert Brown has returned from his vacation. Miss Cora Brandard, of Manchester, on the sick list. Mr. Moore will organize a singing class here in the near future. Miss Anna Brown of Newington was somewhat indisposed the past week.

Sunday was rally day and a good number of the members and friends of the church responded to the call for finance. Mr. Ezekiel Lee and Mr. Hammon seem to be very much interested in the Prophet and have faith in his theory. None of the city papers would publish his notice of the meeting when they saw he antagonized Booker T, Washington. Miss Mabel Forrester of Flushing, N. Y. is on a three month's vacation in our city, the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Thompson of 41 Warren street. Miss Forrester, together with Mrs. Thompson, will visit all the cities and towns surrounding Hartford while visiting here. The knowing ones say that Mr. Robt. Richie, who left Hartford so suddenly, deserting the girl he had wronged, was married this past week to a well-known Hartford girl who joined him wherever he is. The wise ones don't seem to know his whereabouts. A new star will appear in Hartford Mrs. E. Azalia Hackley of Philadelphia Pa., The Musical Wonder, will sing here at the A. M. E.

I. that they seemed to be a class of young preachers. The whole congregation on Sunday seemed to have been stricken with awe on the account of the attempted assassination of our honoredExecutive Officer. Prayers were said in the Sabbath School for his rapid recovery and for the comfort of his loving companion. The wedding of September third, of Mr. James Wilson, Jr., to Miss Lillian was a novelty. The whole affair was carried out with that accuracy and precision that was never before witnessed in the church, Every maid and attendant acted his part perfectly.

Name. The name of this organization shall be “The American Protective League.” The above is a citation from the consiitution of The American Protective League and sets forth clearly and distinctly Its aims and ob- jects. _ Founded March 16th, 1898, copy- righted In 1900, by Mr. Joseph W. Hender- son, of Providence, R. I., and incorporated under the laws of the State of New Jersey in 1901. It has come to remain until the objects which called it into being, and which are so clearly defined in its decisra- tion of principles, are all put Into practical operation. The American Protective League was or- ganized for business, at Indianapolis, Ind., July 31, Aug. 1 and 2, 1900, and Jos. W. Henderson, its founder, was elected Presi- dent. it is a national organization of colored men, women and children. The entrance fee Is only one penny per week, or 52 cents per year. If only one Negro in ten of our present Negro population contributed this small pittance per week, the result would be $1,660 per day; $10,000 per week, or $520,- 000 per year. If all should do so, its daily income from this source alone would be $16,600 per day, $100,000 per week, or $5,- 200,000 per year. Since “the minutest thing Is pee of a magnitude,” it will be seen at a glance that the Ogi of a penny when directed ‘ right channels are amazing to contem- plate. The American Protective League has not “despised the day of small things,” for it has already demonstrated in the most prae ticable way what can be accomplished with @ penny when enough of them are gathered together for business purposes. With a united organization composed of branch leagues scattered all over the coun- try, and an aggregate membership of 100,- 000 of all sexes and ages, it has done what no Negro organization has ever done and with less noise and publicity. Its first busi- ness enterprise was the purchase of Rome, 2 townsite comprising 3,000, buildiag lots in Hunterdon County, N. J., situate on a beautiful plateau 600 feet above the level of the sea, and the only County in the State of New Jersey that has not a single marsh or pool of stagnant water in it. It is ten miles wide, fifteen miles long, and fs nearly level. This is the great fruit district of New Jersey; the finest grazing land in the State, and the most healthful spot west of Colorado. Near at hand are valuable cement de- pee and fire and brick clays are abun- jant. Manufactaring establishments are conti- gious on every side, and a creamery with A reputation second to none in the world ls already In operation near the center of the town of Rome. The American Protective League owns, in its own right, every foot of this land, and it proposes to found a model Negro town there with the stray pennies of colored men, women and children who have faith in Negro capacity for doing the things that white men are doing with less money and less experience. The town of Rome fs already laid out and Negro skilled artisans and mechanics, who must be members of the League, will build and beautify it. ~ It is a healthy agricultural district, situate about two miles from Pittstown, a Lehigh Valley R. R. Station. The communi.- ty 1s a fruit growing, vegetable raising, HE COLORED AMERICAN, WASHINGTON, D. G dairy district, and there’s millions in it for the right kind of people who may locate there snd buNd homes. This property is valued at $250,000 and the American Protective League bought and took possesion of it on May Ist, 1901, and has already sold to its members on easy terms more than 500 lots valued respectively at $100, $80, $65, and $50 each and League stock at its incorporating headquarters, 224 Market street, Newark, N. J. The League’s capital stock is $125,000. The par value of this stock which is sold only to members of the League is $5 per share. For a limited period only, and to encourage prospective purchasers, it will be sold for $1 per share. This is only a beginning of the work con- templated by this organization for its pos sibilities are almost boundless and its re- sources are unlimited. | A little calculation will prove the truth of this assertion. That it is demonstrable no fair minded man will deny. It at once appeals to the common sense and public spirit of every Negro who has a cent’s worth of interest in himself or his race. What the League has already accom plished with the loyal support and en | couragement of believing thousands whc have rallied to its support in its effort tc find a way out is sufliclent answer to th critics and doubting Thomases who haven" the time or the inclination to form a delib erate opinion of the feasibility and practi bility of the plan, even if they knew how But the American Protective League is no concerned about the views of the wise, anc otherwise critics touching its plan. Tt i succeeding admirably well, and the plaiz people are contributing to its success in : way which shows that the plain peopl know a good thing when they see it. The American Protective League offer: cheaper rates of membership than any othe Negro organization in the country—52 cent: per year—no more no less. There are ni sick or death benefits accruing from mem bership therein. The only benefit to be derived from mem bership is, that in all communities to b built up with the money thus contribute to the support of the League, its member will be preferred in all employment ani business enterprises set up and maintaine by this annual tax and ether moneys de rived in a legitimate manner. The idea i best expressed in the word reciprocity. On our properties in Rome, New Jersey there is to be established a cannery, and | brick yard for the manufacture of vitrifie brick. These industries will give employ ment to hundreds of Negroes. Connectio: is to be made with Lehigh Valley R. R. which is two miles distant from Rome. an the railroad will be constructed by Negr laborers, members of the League. When workingmen and their families se tle In any community they must have th necessities of life. The baker, butcher, shoemaker, groce! druggist, clothier, ete. etc., are all neces sary to the comfort and happiness of th Sons of toil, as also of those who are no reduced to the necessity of toiling. Thu it will be seen that the town of Rome, N. J will in no particular be different from othe towns except that it will be populated b an industrious and thrifty class of Negroe: desirous of being independent and willis to pay a penny a week to secure true ft dependence, which is the basis of real maz hood and womanhood. There are to be no drones at Rome, ther won't be room for them. The time ha come for the Negro to do something for hin self. He has been too long eating brea earned by the sweat of tne white man’ brow and blowing about his advancemer while being propped up by white men’s do lars and sympathy. It is up to him now to be a man, and t prove himself a man by supporting a rac organization which offers him an oppo tunity to better his condition at the chea est rates ever before offered by any of th many worthy race organizations throug) out the country. No sane man will for a moment deny ths the Negro organized cannot raise $5,2000t in a year by this penny scheme. It can t done and It will be done. How? Well, that Is another story. Tl Prudential Life Insurance Company has magnificent granite building in Newark, } J., where our branch offive is located, whic occupies almost an entire block, which hs been built and furnished by money collecte in weekly sums of from 5 cents to 50 cen! from the poorer classes of all races. It has reduced the system of collectir these small sums to a positive science, an the plan works smoothly and successfully. Organization, application, and action co | stitute three important elements of bus '|ness success. Why may not Negroes of i telligence and the genius for organizin | succeed ant Shes as waite — of intell gence, an e genius for organizin; | The American Protective League has a 7 tem which bas been carefully develoned an not cross. It is a well known fact that the people among us who support Negro churches and societies belong chiefly to that element denominated as the “common peo- ple;” they are the workingmen and women of the race; the pillars of the churches and societies; the mainstays in every great emergency when a call for help issues at a grand rally for immediate and substantial help. ‘They never hesitate or falter, and in some States they have been known to raise in one day, with special effort and urging, from $1,000 to $3,000. Does any body imagine that these good people will refuse to contribute one penny a week to an enter- prise that offers material and substantial advantages to the living, while they get nothing but the promise of salvation here- after for their fifty cents, or $5 given to the church? Is it not true that a large number of our race are anxious to improve their material condition and get some of the world, or that part of it which has not been : prevented by the white man? The Negro is very human and if there are any who do not possess public spirit and race interest enough to encourage with their moral and substantial support an organization like the ‘American Protective League which has demonstrated its ability to do what it says ean be done by doing it, they certainly need to be pitied. The American Protective League proposes to build the town of Rome just as white men have built some of the most progressive towns in the East,and it has begun now, to- day, the foundation upon which to rear the structure which is to be 2 monument to Negro loyalty and which will demonstrate the self-redeeming qualities of the Negro who has an opportunity to prove what is in him. $100,000 worth of convertible improvement bonds with interest at 6 per cent., payable in gold on the first day of July of each year, redeemable on or before July Ist, 1915, based on 2,750 unsold lots and other land in Rome, N. J., duly authorized by the League July 1, 1901, have been issued and will be disposed of by its fiscal agent, a reputable broker and attorney of Newark, N. J., among investors in good real estate securities, who wish to realize on their in- vestments. ‘A sinking fund is provided for by setting apart 50 per cent. of the net proceeds of the sale of lots and lands, and the bonds are convertible and will be exchanged at the Company's office for any unsold lots in Rome at or before July 1, 1902. This is business and it will appeal to every busi- ness man who understands business pro- cedure. The good faith and the honesty of the |League is expressed in the provision “nominated in the bond,” setting aside a |sinking fund to secure present and pros- | pective investors in its commercial paper from loss. Its common stock and the lots .| purchased from it by members is thus se- -!cured from loss, and every dollar placed ;| with it is backed by another dollar, and the ) | laws of the State of New Jersey protect it. -] The American Protective League is what its name implies. Its mission is to do good; .|to help and protect black humanity; to , | direct its pennies into useful channels’ for | | the common geod; to elevate the Negro from ; | the condition of a perapetetic beggar, and to || make him independent by making him see || the possibilities that now Me hidden in the - | wasted pennies of a prodigal and heretofore ; | happy-go-lucky element of the race. The League invites correspondence from , | those who may be interested in its work . | toward the uplifting of the race, and re i | spectfully requests the readers of this news -|paper who may at any time visit Newari ; | to call at its branch office and convince . | themselves that it is really doing business i} and means to succeed. 7 The headquarters and main offices of the League will be located at 121 Main -| street, Providence, R.

These witb their choirs and congregations added Much to the enthusiasm and to the ge. - eral good work of the anniversary cele- bration. Truly it was a high and good time in Zion for one week. To make the occasion grander and to add to its Megnificence, the Baptist Sunday- school Union of which Prof. B. C.

The Career of Prof, Thomas S. Swan Head of the Industrial Department of Avery College Trade School at Allegheny, Pennsylvania. A feature that has made The Colored American popular with its readers and patrons is that of showing from time to time the progress the race is making along industrial lines. Its policy has been not only to tell the story of the tribulations and successes of individual, but as far as possible to give portraits of them with short sketches of their lives. The Avery Trade School, located in Allegheny, Pa, is one of the largest and best known schools in the North for the industrial education of Afro American youths. It was founded by a Mr. Avery, a wealthy Friend, who was a great friend of the colored people. The endownments left for the school, have increased in such a way J.M. PROF. THOMAS 8. SWAN. as to enable its management and faculty to add all modern improvements to the school. It receives young men and young women from all states and it is patterned very largely on the plan of Prof. Washington's famous school at Tuskegee. Mr. Swan who has charge of the Industrial Department, is a practical educator and next to the Secretary and Treasurer, Mr. Joseph D. Mahoney, he has done a great amount of work to build up the school and to give it the high reputation it now has. Mr. Swan's career, like that of many poor boy of dark hue, born in the South, reads like a romance. His success is due in most part to his own efforts. He was born of free parents in Raleigh, N. C., October 21, 1862 He entered an Episcopal Mission school at the age of six years, and from there he attended the public schools of Raleigh until 1874. His parents having moved to Columbia, S, C., he entered the Benedict Institute there and finished up a normal education. He then served as an apprentice at the painting and decoration trade under a white man, Mr. Charles Newman of Columbia. Mr. Swan's worked with his father who was also a painter, and at the age of eighteen, was doing a successful business as a contractor, doing work all through the state of South Carolina. In 1884 he went to New York City and finished up a special course in interior decorations, and returned South and served in that capacity as instructor, and superintendent at Claflin University Orangeburg, S. C., from 1886 to 1896. During his ten years at Claflin, painting disagreed with his health and he took the advantage of the carpentry and mechanical engineering department and equipped himself along that line and in 1896, he was called and accepted, the position as superintendent and instructor of the manual training department of Avery College Trade THE COLORED AMERICAN, WASHINGTON, D. C. school, Allegheny, $ \mathrm{P a}_{1} $ , and for five years, he has served with great credit to himself the school and the race. In colleague with Mr. J. J. Mahoney, the principal, they have through untiring efforts awakened our people to the interest and welfare of our race along the机械line until now old Avery stands among the leading industrial institutions in the country. Mr. Swans holds diplomas of honorable mention from the World's Fair, Atlanta Exposition and other expositions for his exhibits both in wood-work, architectural drawing and fine art and as a skilled mechanic: The work that is being done and taught at Avery, stands in line with any Trade school North or South. His five years' work at Avery have been so successful that he has been elected for the 6th. and in co-operation with Mr. J. D. Mahoney and directors high hopes are maintained for the grandest year in the history of the school. A NOTABLE NEGRO MARRIAGE Union of Bishop Turner's Granddaughter and Promlnent Colored Educator. One of the most notable marriages in the history of the colored race in Atlanta, took place last night at the episcopal residence of Bishop H. M. Turner, No. 30 Younge street. The contracting parties were: Charlotte Josephine Upshaw, granddaughter of Bishop Turner, and Professor J. Anderson Lankford, of Raleigh, N. C The rooms were brilliantly illuminated and adorned with ancestral pictures There was a large company present, including distinguished ministers and others from distant places. Exactly at 8 o'clock, to the trains of Mendelssohn's "Wedding March," the bridal party advanced to the reception room in which the ceremony was performed in the following order: The best man, Dr. James Darden, and the bridesmaid, Addie Lee, both of Atlanta. Then came Professor Lankford and Mrs. Turner, followed by the little flower girl, Bertha King. Last came the bride, leaning upon the arm of her uncle, Dr. John P. Turner, of Washington, D. C. The ceremony was performed by President James M. Henderson, D. D., of Morris Brown college, assisted by Bishop H. M, Turner, the impressive ritual of the African M. E. church being used. There were several valuable presents to the bride, the most considerable being a handsome silver tea set, from her uncle, Dr. J. P. Turner, and a very elaborate trousseau from Bishop Turner. The young couple left at 11:50 o'clock last night for their future home in Raleigh. The bride was born in Atlanta. She graduated in 1893 at the Agricultural and Mechanical college, at Normal, Ala., and afterwards took a special course in dressmaking and cooking in Booker T. Washington's famous Tuskegee institute. Professor Lankford is also a graduate of Tuskegee college and is now professor of science and superintendent of the industrial department of Shaw university, at Raleigh North Carolina.—The Constitutin Atlanta, Georgia.

WASONIC On Thursday night last, the Grand High Priest Frank J Cozzens accompanied by his Grand officers, paid his annual visit to St. John's Chapter, No. 7. R. A. M. After a cordial welcome expressed in some very complimentary remarks by the High Priest, Companton H. C. Irving, the Grand High Priest was invited to the East and assumed the gavel. The Grand officers taking their several stations. After the appointment of a committee to investigate the books of the Chapter, the Grand High Priest called upon the officers and members of the Chapter for some remarks all of which were very complimentary of the zeal and earnestness with which Companion Irving had worked during the past year for the upbuilding of the chapter and the advancement of Royal Arch Masonry L. H. WAYNE L. H. WAYNE. Companions T. A. Jackson and S. Roger Watts gave some very interesting remarks relative to the history and progress of the chapter. The feature of the evening was the magnificent paper on the "History of the Royal Arch Masonry" as presented by Past High Priest James O. Bamfield after which the committee made their report and the Grand High Priest congratulated the chapter on the progress it had made and took his leave when the chapter closed, proceeded to theresidence of High Priest Irving, where they were royally entertained after which they dispersed, proud that they could wear the Keystone. There is some doubt as to Bro.Daniel Steward of Widow's Son Lodge having been raised, and if he has, who was the man that raised this delicate child? Electa Chapter, under dispensation, promises to out-rival any Chapter in the jurisdiction. The Patron Sir W. A. Warfield is very enthusiastic in praise of the efficiency made by the officers in the ritualistic work. Mount Calvary Commandery entertainment, Wednesday, October 2nd.

Admission 10 Cnts Mrs. Nellie E Morgan, President, Mrs. Elizabeth Marshall Vice President. There was a gathering of maons at Bro. Henry Coleman's and Samuel H West's on Sunday Oct 8. I can't say what was done or the object of such a gathering. I half suspect it was to construct slates, for there were representatives from eight subordinate Lod Hud. ges, four chapters and four commanderies and Bro. Julius Warren Grand Tyler was near the door, and at whose house they were to gather next Sunday Oct.15, at 4 P.M. for further consultation. The grand visitations of Henderson Gethseme and Simons Commanderies, were all grand and imposing Eminent Commander Jones deserved all the praise that was showered upon him for the great work in bringing new life in to Henderson. I regret that I am unable to give names of the newly elected officers. Gethsemane on Wednesday last, had one of the grandest visitations in the history of the commandery. Gold lace and buttons were everywhere Representatives from all the commanderies and the speeches grand, elcquent and sublime. Chivalric Masonry never had stronger advocates. Eminent Commander R W. Tompkins was reelected Sir Knight, J, L. Johnson. Generalissimo, John Abrams Captain General. Simon, No 1, received the Right Eminent Grand Commander S. R. Watts, and Grand officers on Friday night last There were a goodly number of Sir Knights present and the occasion was one long to be remembered. The Grand Commander called upon the old Past Commanders and their remarks were very encouraging, all pledging to give their support toward regaining the prestige once held by this commandery The election resulted as follows: Eminent Commander, Sir Henry Coleman; Generalisimo, Sir Henry C. Irving, Captain General, Sir J. W. Hutchinson Recorder, Sir James Smiler; Treasurer, Sir M. H. Robinson; Senior Warden, Sir J. D. Howard; Junior Warden, Sir J. O. Fulton; Warder, Sir H. H Jackson.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1901. THE PAST AND THE PRESENT. How strange sound the words "Hon. William McKinley President of the United States is dead." And yet a life worthily and usefully lived has come to an untimely end in the midst of labors unperformed. policies not yet pushed to a final issue, and questions new in the experience of the republic The death of the chief magistrate of a nation by the hand of violence is always an appalling calamity, and it is especially so in the case of a ruler of the extreme democratic tendencies and practices of the late President. Mr McKinley possessed a natural kindness of heart and affability of manner that made every one his friend who came within the circle of his influence. He was altogether responsive to the popular trend of thought in the administration of the affairs of the nation. In his public acts and utterances he reflected the thought and wishes of the overwhelming majority of his fellow citizens. They showed this by endorsing him again and again by enormous majorities at the polls. He brought his country from the struggle of financial despond, and placed it on the rock of unexampled prosperity. In the civil service of the government he surrounded himself with a body of men of as high efficiency, integrity and ability, as ever adorned the rolls of the government's servants. But notwithstanding this there was found within the nation, one natural citizen, so lost to all sentiments that separate man from the brute creation, that he took the life of this kindliest of men. The nation is astounded. yea almost paralyzed at the dastardly act of this anarchist. But anarchy that has for its object the murder of rulers is impotent "God reigns and the government at Washington still lives." Like the great judge in Israel William McKinley will be mightier in his death than in his life, against the forces of lawlessness and anarchy. The nation is prepared as never before to --- THE COLORED AMERICAN, WASHINGTON, D. C. consider measures to suppress all forms of anarchy, the anarchy of lynching as well as the anarchy of ruler-murder. The colored people of the country in common with all their fellow citizens deplore the death of President McKinley. The race has for a generation suffered at the hands of the same spirit of anarchy that struck down our beloved president. The race therefore feels the loss as probably the rest of their fellow citizens cannot. In his death they also recognized the loss of a friend and sympathizer. May he rest in peace, and may his manly example long animate the conduct of his country. Under the Constitution the death of the president places the reins of the government in the hands of Theodore Roosevelt. Mr. Roo evelt is a young man, but his entire life has been spent in the public service in one capacity or another. He therefore brings to the discharge of his responsible duties a trainig, experience and tried capacity that give assurance of safe, conservative and efficient administration. The new president has seized the first opportunity to assure the country that he proposes to continue the policcy of his predecessor without break or alteration. This the country desires and with his assurance it is satisfied. Naturally the colored fellow citizens of the new president are anxious as to his attitude on the anarchy of lynching and their citizenship rights in general While nothing more than conjecture can be given as to these matters, yet the record and words of Mr. Roosevelt may serve to throw some light on them. As civil service commissioner Mr. Roosevelt saw that the colored competitor for admission to the government service was treated with absolute fairness in the examination, in the certification and in the appointment. As a result more colored men on the ground of their merits alone, entered the service of the government than at any time in the history of the nation. He referred to these matters in one of his reports with evident pride, as well he might. We shall in our next issue give the part of the report referring to this matter. We express the belief that the colored man has in Mr. Roosevelt a discriminating friend and that in so far as in him lies he will as president see the colored man treated with fairness. As to his attitude on lawlessness, we subjoin the following quotation from a recent speech of Mr. Roosevelt; "The first essential of civilization is law. Anarchy is simply the hand-maiden and forerunner of tyranny and despotism. Law and order enforced by justice and by strength lie at the foundation of civilization. Law must be based upon justice, else it cannot stand, and it must be enforced with resolute firmness, because weakness in enforcing it means in the end that there is no justice and no law nothing but the rule of disorderly and unscrupulous strength. Without the habit of orderly obedience to the law, without the stern enforcement of the laws at the expense of those who defiantly resist them, there can be no possible progress, moral or material, in civilization. There can be no weakening of the law-abiding spirit at home if we are permanently to succeed." In view of this we look confidently to the future. Senator Hanna remains the head of the republican national committee, and the matchless general who achieved victory for his party in two campaigns of unparalleled vigor and enthusiasm. Possessing as he does the confidence and esteem of the solid and responsible elements of national life and progress his future is secured and his lustre as party leader undimmed. R. M. M.

GETTING TOGETHER. The American Protective League comes in for a large share of space in this issue of The Colored American. It is the fruition of the great spirit and tendency on the part of the colored people to so organize themselves that they can control the money that is made, that is handled, and that is being spent by the colored people. The progressive stride of the Negro from emancipation to the present day is wonderful. He has succeeded along all lines, and as the sensible heads of the race have realized long ago that some organization is needed to control the moneys and to invest it to the bast advantage for the middle class, "The salt of the earth as it were." The American Protective League is here. It has come to fill a long felt want. Already its membership runs up into the thousands and its plan of management is practical and the men at its head are the kind who succeed in whatever they undertake. The progress already made by this young, though lusty League is enough to guarantee its success. The plan of the League, its full statements of the lines along which it is to be conducted, as well as the property owned, etc., is given on the fourth page of this issue. Mr. John E. Bruce, the veteran correspondent, and who is known everywhere for his strong race love as well as his ability to protect it gainst the onslaught of the enemy has been made Secretary. The Colored American has great faith in The American Protective League and its invites the attention of every reader of this issue to Mr. Bruce's article. The League is sound and will succeed. Those who are interested should correspond with the Secretary at once: his address is 121 N Main street, Providence, R. I. The subscription started for the pur- pose of erecting and building a home for Mr James B Parker who saved the President's life at Buffalo is timely and pertinent. It was started at the instance of Chaplain T. W. Steward of the 25th Infantry who lectured at the Metropolitan A M. E. church Tuesday 10th inst. on the Philippines. Every newspaper should take up the matter of raising the fund, should carry its own list of contributions and at the proper time turn the money into the proper channels. The account of the Camp Fire reproduced in another part of this issue of The Colored American and taken from the Cleveland Plaindealer was one of the events of the Grand Encampment held in Cleveland, Ohio. The talk about Jim Crowism at this encampment was all moonshine. The best proof of this is the account referred to. It is true that colored leaders had charge of a number of meeting and in this instance Hon. John P. Green, the United States Stamp Agent, was chairman of the meeting Mr. George A. Myers was chairman of the committee on "The Camp Fires of the Colored Troops," and Mr. Charles W. Anderson the silver tongued orator of New York was the principal speaker. For the Baptist Convention. The delegates to the National Baptist Convention, which convened in Cincinnati, Ohio, Wednesday, September 11th at 9 a.m., left last Tuesday on the 3:45 train over the B. & O. The delegates from this city were; Rev. George W. Lee, Mr. William Tyler, Miss Hattie McIntosh, Mrs. Bettie Saunders of the Vermont Avenue Baptist church; Rev J Anderson Taylor, D. D., Miss Katie Anderson of the Shiloh Baptist church; Rev. W. Bishop Johnson, D D, Second Baptist church; Rev. Walter H. Brooks, 19 h street Baptist church, Rev. Alexander Wilbanks, Virginia Avenue Baptist church and Mr. John W. M. Stewart, District of Columbia.

At Georgetown we met many influential Negroes. Mr. George Herriott agentle- man of considerable 1scal prominence, has been Saperintendent of Education for Georgetown County for over twenty years and has given compleie satisfac- tion to both white and colored teachers and patrons.

The Charge That it is Abaormal Calnly Considered, _ (New York Sun) To the Editoa of the Sun—Sir: My remarks on the Negro question have called fortha letter, the writer of which notes that he is an Englishman settled in America; that he came without the slightest prejudice against the Negro, believing him to be as truly a man se himself, but that experience has com- pletely changed hie view. The Negro, he now thinks, ‘tat a certain age is like a dog or a rooster, so far as aby control of the sexual instincts is concerned. ’’ In support of this statement he cites facts too circumetantial for reproduc- tion. Here isa puzzle. I was inthe United States toward the close of the Civil War and nothing is more imprinted on my memory than the credit which the Negroe received for faithfulness in their keeping of the families of Soutk- erners who were absent at the war. The fact was cited by both parties. By the South as a proof that there was good.in slavery; by the North asa proof of the moral qualities of the Ne gro. | In Jamaica forty y ears ago the ante- gonism of race between the whites and blacke came to a violent head.

I had tried many reme- dies without avail. I applied toseveral doctors, but they were not able to cure me. I learned of the remedy, Peruna, through your pamphlets and took it for four months. It entirely cured me, and as I took the remedy three years ago, [ consider the cure permanent.” Hon.Clement M. Hammond is one of the best known newspaper men in New York City. Writing to The Peruna Medicine Co., he says: “For about six years I have had trouble every fall and winter with my, voice. Attimes it has extended to my} bronchial tubes and lungs.
