At the Academy of Music, Chase's and Lafayette Square theatres, Negroes are admitted to the lower floors if their complexions are bright enough to raise a doubt as to their race. Washington is so full of dark-skinned Caucasians that serious embarrassment would result. if this benefit of the doubt were not given. PRICE, FIVE CENTS A TRIP TO TUSKEGEE. CONGRESS DELEGATES AT THE SOUTH'S MECCA. Prof Booker T Washington Presents a Census, Showing Marvelous Results Attained in Twenty-One Years Value of Property Near Million Mark. TUSKEGEE, ALA., Aug. 12, 1902. More than one thousand of the delegates in attendance at the Young People's Negro Congress at Atlanta, Ga., last week made the side trip to Tuskegee, Ala., to inspect the work of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, of which Booker T. Washington is Principal, on Monday, August 11th. The visitors came in two sections and represented nearly every state in the Union. The large cities, especially New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Washington, New Orleans and Buffalo, were represented by good sized delegations. All the available vehicles of the Institute, as well as the town of Tuskegee, transported the visitors from the depot to the grounds of the institution. Immediately on reaching them a sumptuous repast was served in the dining halls of the school without any expense to the visitors. Many of them mentioned this as having been a notable feature of the visit to Tuskegee—the ease and facility with which the delegates were cared for and served by the school. Two of the large dormitory buildings were set aside as headquarters for men and women, and guides were provided to show the visitors about the grounds. Even though this is the vacation season, more than five hundred students are engaged on the farms, at the brickyard, on several large buildings now being erected, and in a number of the industrial departments of the school. It was a real education for many of these visitors who had heard and read much of Tuskegee, and more than one was heard to remark "The half has never been told in any report of the supreme greatness of the school." At four o'clock in the afternoon the Tuskegee Institute Chapel was filled with visitors, students and teachers and people of the town of Tuskegee, who were gathered to listen to addresses by a number of the representative members of the party. A number of plantation songs were sung by the school, after which Principal Washington, to the evident satisfaction and edification of the visitors, submitted a short "census" of the school. It was as follows: The school was established 21 years ago. The attendance last year was 1384 students—965 young men and 419 young women, from 30 states and territories and from 5 foreign countries. The total number of officers, teachers, assistants, clerks, etc., employed last Continued on fifth page. THE COLORED AMERICAN, WASHINGTON, D. C. Washington Under the Calcium. 10 Mr. T. H. R.

Miss Eleanor Greenfield and a party of friends visited Baltimore last Sunday and spent the day. They returned late Sunday evening perfect- ly charmed with the Monumental city and its hospitality. Mr. Robert C. Hill, who is down with typhoid fever at Garfield Hospital, shows decided improvement. His mother, Mrs Ella Hill, of Rapidan, Va., came over to visit him, but returned home Sunday. The rumor that Judge Robert H. Terrell is a receptive candidate for supervising principal, is pronounced by him to be wholly without foundation. He is eminently satisfied where he is, and is taking no part in the contest for places in the public high schools. Word reaches us from Halifax, N. C., that Mr. J. H. Hannon has suffered another apoplectic stroke, and that his condition is again quite serious. He has been for years an efficient clerk in the office of the Recorder of Deeds. His many friends here hope for more favorable reports. Mrs. Julia H. Hayes, late of the Census office, applied for a charter to establish a council of the Order of St. Luke here.

The editor is J. Hillary Taylor, assisted by Miss Agnes Carroll. The office is at 111 D Street, southeast. Rev. L. E. Scheafe's evangelical efforts, under the auspices of the Seventh Day Adventists, is bringing in quite a number of converts to that faith.

Miller, of Cincinnati, O., and her sister, Mrs. Hamilton, of Chicago, passed through the city Thursday, and were the guests of Mr. Louis A. Cornish, Jr., of Cincinnati, who is now visiting her mother, Mrs. M. Mason, of T Street. Mrs. Miller is the wife of Cincinnati's famous caterer. She and her sister are visiting all the principal eastern cities. Mrs. L. J. Wilson has under control a lawn party at the Church of Jerusalem, corner of 10th and V sts., northwest.

I am going to wait for the Masonio moonlight excursion of Saturday night, August 30th." "The best blood and brains of Washington patronize Masonic excursions." "The Masons have such splendid order, too." "Oh! I can't afford to miss the Masonic moonlight excursion of August 30th." This is what Miss Columbia said to Uncle Sam upon the occasion of his last visit to her. "And just think of it!" she said. "The Illustrious Nobles of the Mystic Shrine and all the Commanderies of Knights Templar of the District will make their annual pilgrimage to the shrine on the Masonic moonlight excursion of August 30th. "What do you mean by the Mystic Shrine and Commandery of Knights Templar?" inquired Uncle Sam. "Why," said Miss Columbia, "the Mystic Shrine and Commandery are names of very high orders of Free Masonry. These orders are very exclusive, being composed of the wealthiest and most learned men in, the world." "From time immemorial the Nobles of the Mystic Surine and the Knights Templar make annual pilgrimages to the shrine. The one for this year will be begun on Saturday evening, August 30th at 6 p.m. They go down on the palatial steamer Jane Mosely. Everybody will be there. Oh! I must go." "The price is only 25 cents for the whole trip, and they carry you 50 miles down the beautiful and picturesque Poromac. The round trip will cover a distance of 100 miles." "This, you know, means that your trip will cost you only a quarter of a cent for every mile, or one cent for every 4 miles." "Everybody can afford to take in this moonlight excursion on August 30.h, even you Uncle Sam." "No same person would ever charge you with being extravagant for taking advantage of a cheap pleasant trip like this. You owe something to your health, you know. A delightful sand down the Potomac with the Masons on their moonlight excursion of August 30.h will cost you only 25 cents, and will be worth more to your health than the best dollar bottle of tonic bitters on the market." Everybody in Washington will agree wife Mies Columbia in her remarks to Uncle Sam. Especially are her words of wisdom appropriate to the colored citizens of the District. Going on an excursion like this given by the very best people among us, is not extravance. The fare is too cheap to be called by any such name. Only 25 cents for a delightful sail on the swittest, safest and superbest excursion steamer on the river. Just think of it! And with the Masons, too!! The writer knows a dozen or more "cullud gemmen" around town, so-called leaders, who are chronic kickers on excursions. They tell you that neither they nor you can afford to patronize excursions. These same "cullud gemmen," who make all their money out of Negroes—buy, every day, from 1 to 2 cups of coffee apiece from a certain third-rate white restaurant. At the rate of one cup a day these same "cullud gemmen," who are looking out for the good (?) of the race, waste at least 30 cents per week in a third-rate restaurant, which would not allow them to occupy even a third-rate seat at one of its table. Just think of it! 30 cents per week for coffee in such a place is not extravance; while 25 cents per week, now and then for a healthful outing on a palatial steamer owned and operated by colored men, is extravance. Some men would rather be served slop from a hog trough at 30 cents per plate by an old maid of Irish extraction and still not call that extravagance, than to be served over a mahogany counter by a buxom colored belle at any price. But doesn't the economy of such people amuse you Just ask one of these chaps to buy a 25 cent ticket for a colored excursion on a colored boat, and you'll hear him squeal. "Oh, I can't afford it." At the same time he is puffing away at a 5 or 10 cent cigar bought at some Irishman's place of business; or he is renting a high-priced house in a 'white row' and boasts among his acquaintances that he is the only 'cullud pussun' in the row. Pay no attention to the babblings of such freaks. They belong to the same class as those colored lawyers and doctors, who have nothing but colored clients and patients, but who, when they have a house to build or any large amount of money to spend, give it all to white mechanics or tradesmen. Go on the Masonic moonlight excursion August 30th. It will cost you only 25 cents. It would not be extravantage if you took one of these trips every Saturday night. It would really be economy. Your health would be improved tenfold that amount. The secret of long life and good looks in the white race is that they go out from their homes as much as possible and breathe pure fresh air. We must do the same thing. These cheap moonlight excursions as they are run by the Masons are a God's blessing to you. These moonlight excursions occur at a time when your daily work is over a time when your daily work is over You have everything to gain, but nothing to lose by going on the Masonic excursion of Saturday, August 30th. Go to market Saturday morning on early Saturday afternoon. You will then have plenty of time to get to the boat by 6 p.m., Saturday, August 30.h. On to the Jane Mosely, the palatial colored steamer, Saturday August 30.h The Nobles of the Mystic Shrine and Knights Templar will make their annual pilgrimage to the shrine by moonlight on the Potomac, Saturday, August 30th. Beyond verdant hills, kissed by golden rays of a departed sun, they'll show you moonlight on the lake, Saturday August 30th. Danbury Dashes.

A Brief Review of The Career of a Young Man Who is Making His Mark by Conscientious Effort-Financier Organizer and Industrialist. The subject of this sketch, Mr. Manning C. Jones, is one of the most promising young men of the National Capital. He is a graduate of the Washington High School, class '93, an institution that has shaped the destinies of such successful factors in the world's work as Roscoe C. Bruce, Napoleon B. Marshall, Robert Davis Brown, and many others who are adding lustre and fame to the Negro race. As a mercantile broker he is winning a standing in the world of finance, and 9 MR. MANNING C. JONES. as a tonsorial artist he is bringing dignity to a calling that was once regarded as humble, but is now one of the recognized skilled professions, requiring the highest degree of taste and experience. In this latter capacity Mr. Jones is patronized by some of the most distinguished persons residing here, among them being diplomats from leading foreign nations, all of whom praise his work in the highest terms. Mr. Jones is also prominent in the social life of this community, and is one of the original members of the late Cosmos Cub (now the Monacan Club), and was the organizer of the Metropole Club, one of the leading institutions of its kind in the United States. Owing to the indefatigable labor of this public-spirited young man, the colored gentlemen of this and other cities now have a place to meet in the sweet converse of social life as gentlemen, for the pleasure and mutual benefit of all. Mr. Jones lives a life of happy domesticity, having not long ago led to the altar Miss Laura Terrell, sister of Judge Robert H. Terrell, who makes an ideal companion and helpmeet for a progressive character. Both by precept and example he has shown himself to be a strong believer in the doctrines of that great and able leader. Booker T. Washington, and is now one of the most consistent and energetic advocates of industrialism and unionism among the Afro-Americans of the land. No race or people need despair when it is producing such loyal, resourceful, and aspiring young men as Manning C. Jones, who have learned to feel and be moved by that high responsibility that brings to his times the best that there is in his head, heart and hand. Whitfield McKinlay True Blue. Editor Colored American: Some of the unthinking (may we not say submerged?) witlings in our midst are making merry over a visit lately made by three of our fine fellows to Oyster Bay in connection with the existing vacancy in the District Government. "Ho! ho!" say the critics—"who told them to go?—whom do they represent? From whom came their cre- THE COLORED AMERICAN, WASHINGTON, D. C. dentials?" And then there follows the usual vile abuse of the special witlng whose curses are at once his highest tribute to man and the confession of his own inferiority. Well, these visitors did not derive their authority from any District primary, thank God! Not representative, indeed! Let us see about that. Take one of them, Mr. Whitfield McKinley, for sample. Try him by any known test, and it will be found that he is not the product of District primaries, a good husband and father; a successful business man; that his name, like his check, is good for its full face value; that he is free from narrowness; that he is intensely interested in every race movement towards higher things; that he enjoys the race distinction of personal and intimate friendship with Booker T. Washington, the apostle of our race and that he is one of our good and true men. If we were sent out to find our very best representative man, it is very easy to imagine ourselves pressing the electric button at Mr. McKinley's door at an early stage of the game. ONE THING AND ANOTHER. A young man whose life is full of good works is Frank L. Cardozo, Jr.. While a social factor of prominence, his most notable activities have been directed to serving the public along intensely practical lines. How closely he must apply himself is demonstrated by the number, variety and usefulness of the movements with which his labors are connected. Prof. Cardozo is principal of the Wilson school, a large building. He is director of the colored eight schools covering a wide range of subjects, with classes distributed in several localities. He is president of the well-known Bethel Literary and Historical Association, the management of which calls for correct judgment, infinite tastes and keen discernment of popular needs and tastes. He has just concluded a second successful season as principal of the Stevens Vacation School, an institution that his skill as an educator has made permanent. This is a labor of love. Though the work is a valuable aid to the school system, the vacation service commands no salary. Prof. Cardozo also has a most interesting family, to which he devotes full attention, despite the pressure of public duties just described. When there are vacancies to fill in the higher and more remunerative ranks of our schools, all will agree that promotion could not come to a more faithful, capable or energetic man than Frank L. Cardozo, Jr. President Roosevelt gave an audience to the colored delegation which visited him at Oyster Bay, reports to the contary notwithstanding. Let it be understood by the Philadelphia Record that the Negro soldier has no consuming desire to boss white soldiers. He is content to accept commissions to officer regiments of his own brethren. Don't confuse the issue. Mr. Manning C. Jones, the enterprising mercantile broker, who is an outspoken, aggressive and well-informed democrat, is doing some effective campaigning in behalf of Mr. Henry L. W st for District Commissioner. At the meeting of the Virginia Industrial Association, which drew a large gathering of representative Negroes to Richmond this week, strong ground was taken against the disfranchisement of the race and systematic plans were adopted looking to the qualification of individuals so as to secure registration. He is a Fraud. There is a young colored man traveling through the state of Texas, W. H. Lewis by name, who claims to be a traveling agent for The Colored American. He is a fraud and has no authority from this paper to solicit subscribers and appoint agents. Many persons in the smaller towns have been victimized by him. A reward of $10 will be given for his apprehension, OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE MINISTRY. THE HOTEL THE PHELPS HALL BIBLE TRAINING SCHOOL Connected with the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute at Tuskegee Alabama. Offers exceptional opportunities to young men wishing to prepare for the Christian ministry. The chief aim of the instruction is to afford young men and women a comprehensive knowledge of the English Bible and to implant in their hearts an ambition to dedicate their lives to the elevation and Christianizing of their race. Students are required to do missionary work in the various churches and Sunday Schools near the institution and to report on same each week. The teaching in the Bible school is wholly undenominational, the intention being not to oppose or antagonize any theological work now being done, but rather to assist all denominations.

BE NOT DECEIVED TO THE COLORED PEOPLE OF AMERICA King of all Hair Tonics, "OZONO." This preparation can be obtained at Singleton's Pharmacy Cor. 20th and E streets, Northwest, Washington, D. 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.

Two of the yawping critics that continually bark and bite at Washington's heels had seemingly entered into a conspiracy to define a position for him and to discredit him before the greatest audience gathered from every part of the country. They preceded him on the program and evidently thought their victory was complete, but they were overwhelmed, thwarted and themselves discredited—and all in the most dignified and manly way. Washington did not run away from them. He met them on every proposition and proved himself as ever the master of the occasion. It was joyful to see him take that audience with him, and more joyful to see those "swashbucklers" slink away. I never felt so thoroughly indignant in my life as I did when I divined the purpose of those conspirators, but it was well after all. It provided the opportunity for the Tuskegee educator to thoroughly squelch them and to answer them before the same audience before which he was attacked. At the conclusion of his mastery address, the immense audience rushed to the platform and for more than thirty minutes surrounded and overwhelmed him with congratulations. It was with the greatest difficulty that he was able to make his way to the door so as to leave the building." We are very sure that our readers will read the above with the same interest that we have. OUR BOYS HUSTLING Quite a number of bright boys are now handling The Colored American in many of the principal cities of the country. Many of them are doing remarkably well and are making from $2 to $4 a week. Parents who wish their boys to acquire some knowledge of business can do no better service than to have them sell The Colored American each week. It is a good seller and it will take a boy but a short while to work up a good route. If the boy goes to school he can take the after hours to canvass on his route and can deliver the paper on Saturday morning. We want a few more bright boys. Bring or send in your order at once.

A GRAND CONGRESS. The Immense Religious and Educational Gathering at Atlanta Exceeds The Expectations of The Most Sanguine. In view of the exhaustive reports of the Young People's Religious and Educational Conference contained in the daily papers, an elaborate account is not necessary in these columns. Suffice it to say that Atlanta nor any other city in the land has ever witnessed a larger or more representative gathering of Afro-Americans nor has there ever assembled an aggregation of men and women more earnestly devoted to the elevation of mankind than the 10,000 who took part in the deliberations from August 6th to 11th in Georgia's progressive capital. People from everywhere were there, but all were becomingly [Illustration of a man with curly hair, wearing a suit and bow tie.] FISHOP HENRY M. TURNER attired, well-behaved and bore themselves, without exception, in a manner that suggested intellectual attainments of a high order, social culture and a love for law and order. The impression created upon the locality was pleasing, and it was a rare treat for many to listen to addresses from Negro scholars that would have done credit to the best brains of any nation or race under the sun. The great Agricultural Hall, the People's Tabernacle, Big Bethel Church and in fact all of the large auditoriums of the city were brought into requisition to accommodate the vast gathering, and the many sessions for religious and educational endeavor. Bishop Wesley J. Gaines, of the A. M. E. Church, president of the convention committee, opened the proceedings, and delivered a masterly address upon the Negro's status as a factor in human progress, and sounded the keynote of the entire week. Prof. Booker T. Washington made a speech that attracted national attention, and Bishop Turner, Dr. M. C. B. Mason, Dr. J. W. E. Bowen, Recorder Dancy, E. D. W. Isaac, D. J. Sanders, and many others had places on the lengthy but wholly interesting and well-rounded program. The res- THE COLORED AMERICAN, WASHINGTON, D.

The majority of the delegates visited Tuskegee on the 11th, and were handsomely entertained by Professor Washington and his staff. The general feeling is that the Congress has accomplished substantial good for the race, and came up to all that was expected by the most sanguine. Unstinted praise is due Professor I. Garland Penn, for conceiving the idea of holding such a conference, and to Rev. J. W. E. Bowen and his aids for the yeoman service in developing the plans outlined by the originator. Before adjourning sine die the Congress perfected a national association and elected the following officers: Bishop W. B. Gaines, Georgia, president; Rev. E. D. W.

Thursday, August 7th, was a redletter day for the colored people of Ithaca, N. Y. It was freedom's natal day, and the emancipation anniversary was celebrated in a fashion more elaborate than has been the case for many years. Fully two thousand people were in attendance, coming from numerous points in western New York. The speaker of the day was Hon. Judson W. Lyons, Register of the Treasury. He was feelingly introduced by Mayor Gunderman, who referred to the occasion as one of great importance to the colored people, and applauded the enthusiasm with which the race celebrated the day of their deliverance from bondage. He thought the anniversaries of Independence Day and Emancipation Day were the two most sacred and significant days in the political life of the republic. The mayor complimented the colored people upon developing such a sturdy exemplar of American manhood as Mr. Lyons, and thought the race should take on courage anew in contemplating the dispensation of Providence that made the autograph of a citizen of African descent necessary to the legalization of every piece of paper money used in the great monetary and commercial transactions of the nation. Mr. Lyons' address was pronounced to be the clearest exposition of the history, progress and achievements of the Negro race ever heard in that section of the Empire State. It abound- Hon. JUDSON W. LYONS. ed in valuable statistics, many of which were taken down by students and business men for future reference, as they were difficult to obtain otherwise. The Register held the undivided attention of the audience throughout, and at the close was given an ovation which lasted for some time. He spoke of the colored man as a soldier, as a citizen, his social position, and the assistance he has brought to the industrial world. He took no stock in the idea that there was any conflict between the two schools of education that is talked about in some quarters. The colored man, said he, must get all the industrial training that science can bestow, but it will be a sad day for him and every other American citizen when he is content to become simply an industrial factor in our body politic. He pointed out that in the productions of agriculture and manufacturing, the colored man's share amounted to $610,786,182, or $61 per capita to every individual of the Negro race. In property holding, the Negro is accredited with the grand total of $890,000,000, or $89 per capita to every man, woman and child of the race for the first generation of freedom all this, too, without strikes, riot, or any other labor disturbance. The results showed the splendid part the Negro is playing in the development of the nation.

Harper, the clever and erudite assistant in the Armstrong Manual Training School, who is on a visit to friends in the Michigan metropolis. Her large circle of acquaintances in this city are not a little shocked to read in the Detroit paper of recent date the following interview, purporting to be an expression from her lips. Comparing conditions in that city and in this, she is reported to have said: "You see here no such colored people as we have there. They are so poor and repulsive. They are never impolite—a southerner never is that—but they are dirty and they don't know how to dress. The manual training work did wonders for the girls last year, though. It was the first year for the work, and when they had learned to sew a little, we insisted that they must dress neatly when they came to school." "I meet with a great deal of jealousy from the other teachers," Miss Harper is reported to have continued, with a sigh, "I am a northerner and they don't like that. They say they have plenty of teachers south. They do have, too, and I think it would be a good thing for the colored girls of Detroit to go south. Here there is very little incentive for them to finish the high school. There is nothing open for them when they do. In Washington alone, there are 400 colored girls teaching. When the young people see how others of their race are succeeding, they feel a desire to do something themselves." My impression is that some young "smart Aleck" was sent out to gather Miss Harper's views, and he thought it would be a neat trick to place her in a false attitude by garbling her remarks, and attribute to her the utterances of sentiments which could under no circumstances find lodgment in her mind. Miss Harper is a graduate of the University of Michigan, and that training, supplemented with her five years in the Washington schools, would serve to inculcate a pride of race and personal culture that would forbid such a notorious caricature of the people of this vicinity. I am sure Miss Harper has been falsely quoted. Few of the "old stagers" are now found in the office of the Recorder of Deeds, but among the familiar faces—and a striking one that even the most casual visitor never forgets—is that of Walter A. Pinchback. He entered the office in 1891, and has been rated as a clerk of the very first-class, handling with ease and accuracy the many details that are encountered in the recording and disposing of the deeds and miscellaneous papers that are received daily at the land registering department of the District of Columbia. Mr. Pinchback is painstaking in whatever duty is assigned him, and careful as to the slightest point that might some time arise to cause confusion and embarrassment to his chief. He is a graduate of Andover College, and has sound and well-defined views upon all questions of public moment. He is a recognized authority upon army matters. He was at the front during the Spanish-American war in Santiago, with the 9th Immunes, and though appointed as a second lieutenant, served throughout that memorable campaign as first lieutenant (his next in command being absent), and acquitted himself with credit and distinction. He was a member of the commission appointed to investigate the accounts of the local administration in his province, and conducted some delicate negotiations with a skill that stamped him as a coming diplomat. Mr. Pinchback is a son of former Governor Pinchback, of Louisiana, and has much of the virile personality that has made the Dean of the Old Guard a national force. Mr. Pinchback is now a citizen of New York, and the only representative of that state in the Recorder's office. In the event of a reorganization of the clerical staff, it THE COLOR AMERICAN, WASHINGTON, D. C. is more than likely that a neat promotion is in store for the talented young lieutenant. Washington has an overplus of useless Afro-Americans—and they do not all belong to the "lower five," either. Some of them abound in the government departments. They draw good salaries and rattle around in places that active and public-spirited men ought to be filling. They contribute nothing in money, service of influence to the welfare of the community. Their faces are never seen at race meetings; they do not go near a church or literary; they never buy a ticket to a beneficial entertainment; they can't make a speech and would not be able to recognize an idea if they met it face to face in the street. They are negative characters of the most inconsequential sort, and when they die they leave no mourners and are soon forgotten. Just what excuse they have for existence is not discernible to the naked eye. They are simply stumbling-blocks in the pathway of live, energetic men and impede the progress of the race. The public service will be better off when such barnacles are pried loose from the Ship of State. The Sunday funeral is an institution that is being done away with in all progressive communities. The white ministers of Norristown, Pa., have met and agreed to discourage the holding of funeral services on the Lord's day and passed resolutions in which they stated that such exercises tend to create show, entail unnecessary labor and are demoralizing. They further agreed that they would publicly request that they be not invited to attend funerals on Sunday, suggesting that the day should be devoted to divine worship and rest. If the colored ministers here would sit down on the absurd practice as a unit and secure the co-operation of the cemetery managers, the problem would be solved in short order. The conservers of good taste are growing more and more opposed to vulgar display, and in all communities there is room for reforms in both funeral and wedding customs—with a reduction, also, in expense. If our colored capitalists or lodges want to invest their money in something that will yield large dividends and at the same time solve a difficult problem in living, they should build a row of low-priced flats for colored tenants, on the order of those put up by the Sanitary Improvement Company on D and Warner Streets. They are just the thing for small families. The laugh is on the McLachlen real estate syndicate. They erected a pretty nice apartment house on 12th street this spring, and with much flourish of trumpets, stuck up a big sign "To let. To white tenants only." The neighborhood is almost exclusively colored. One white family moved in and after a month, moved out. The prices were $20 and upward, and the suites went a-begging. The poor whites who would be willing to "endure" the Negro environment are not able to pay such rent for a flat and those who have that kind of money, feel that they can do better elsewhere. As a result the word "white" has been eliminated from he sign-board, and in the window is this legend: "To let; to respectable colored tenants." And the price is to undergo a cut. Is there a moral in this? The pastor of a leading colored church here hails from Tennessee. When a boy he went to school at Knoxville to an Irishman, with a brogue of the pure Killarney brand. While in the south end of the Treasury building on business the other day the divine, who has a remarkable memory for faces, espied his erstwhile schoolmaster performing the arduous duties of messenger. Approaching him with a bland smile the minister asked: The Vestry and Congregation [PROF. C. H. HAMILTON, LEADER] Life from cradle to grave, Give names in full of those you have or will marry; causes happy marriage to those you desire; unites those separated (never fails) If you are in doubt as to the outcome of any undertaking in business, social or domestic life; sickness, divorces, separations, law-suits, lost or absent friends interes you; if you desire to have your domestic troubles removed, your lost love returned, consult or write me.

PHILADELPHIA PA. "Isn't your name Mr. _____?" "Naw," replied the son of Erin, savagely. "Don't you remember me as one of your pupils when you taught school at Knoxville, Tenn., and how vigorously you used the rod on me?" "Naw, sirrah; I. never was your teacher, sirrah!" he answered, still more savagely. "Beg pardon, sir," and the minister went his way, wondering if his eyes had played him falsely. "By the cross of St. Catherine, he had me there, Mike," he muttered to a white comrade. "O'im the mon all right, but if it iver got out that I taught naygers down South O'id lose me job sure." And he went into executive session with himself. People who live in glass houses should be exceedingly careful how they indulge in the stone-throwing industry. The Boston Guardian, a journal that is long on professions and short on performances, assuming virtues which it hath not—with respect to so-called questionable advertisements—was called down in an amusing fashion last week by the watchful editor of the Boston Advocate. (Note the "take off" on the name of William M. Trotter.) Says the Advocate: "Worthy, Infinitesimal, Longitudinal, Loquacicus, Irritable, Antagonistic, Master (Mighty) Trotter, the manager of the great, undeniable, arrogant, despicable, irascible, anonymous newspapaper, is hot in the collar because prior to the last issue he has denied that he would ever publish a certain line of advertisements in his paper, but we see by a perusal of our esteemed contemporary, that a sporting advertisement crept in.." Now, wouldn't that jar you? It may be of interest to some of my married friends to know that a St. Louis judge—who, by the way is a bachelor—has decided that a wife has a perfect right to go through her husband's pockets and abstract therefrom anything she sees fit to crave—money, love-letters, sundry locks of hair, or "any old thing." Washington wives have not needed this tip from a St. Louis bachelor—they own their husbands and all of which he is found Continued on fifth page. ANGELS AMUSEMENTS Watson's Park.

N. W, Washington, D. C. Park. Master Horace Morris, son of the noted editor of the same name, was valedictorian of his class at the recent graduating exercises of the Louisville, (Ky.), High School. Booker T. Washington was present and complimented the young speaker. The young man enters the University of Wisconsin in the fall. * * * Prof. W. H. Johnson of Albany, N. Y., has begun his tour of the McKinley Normal and Industrial Institute, located at Alexandria, Va. He is preparing a lecture upon the race's educational status to be illustrated by slides, picturing the bright side of Negro character and history, presenting portraits of distinguished men and women and noted institutions. He will visit Washington soon. *** Excavating for the foundation of the new girls' dormitory at the Tuskegee Institute has been begun. The building is to be three and one-half stories high, and fitted with modern conveniences. Its cost will be $25,000 when finished. The brick-making division operated by the school under competent instructors made from May 1st to July 20th over 2,000,000 bricks, an average of over 20,000 bricks per day. The Canning department has put up 7,209 gallons of canned fruits during this summer. ** ** The work and scope of the Teachers' College of Howard University, of which Dr. L. B. Moore is dean is larger than was stated in a casual note two weeks ago. Not only does the department give itself to the training of kindergarteners but also to the thorough preparation of teachers for the elementary and secondary schools. Courses are offered for undergraduates and post graduates leading to degrees in pedagogy and philosophy. The teachers' courses are regarded a positive addition to the educational facilities. * * * For fifteen years The Outlook has made its first of August issue a special Illustrated Educational Number. The issue of this year is not only a remarkable because of the number of eminent educationalists who contribute to it, and the importance of the topics discussed, but also from its general attractiveness as an illustrated magazine. Among the contributors are President Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia University, President Hyde of Bowdoin, President Harris of Amherst, Dean Jordan of Smith College, Professor George E. Vincent of the University of Chicago, Professor J. R. Wheeler of Columbia, and Dr. Edward Everett Hale. The-Man-on-the-Corner.

A young lady who belongs to the "smart set" of LeDroit Park was asked her opinion of another young lady who happened to be passing. Her reply was: "Oh, I suppose she is a very good girl, but we don't know her. Her mother is only a washerwoman." This young lady will outgrow her nonsense when she gets older, let us hope. Some of the race's ablest men and women have been educated from the proceeds of the washtub and the ironing board. The "Native Washingtonians" had a large and enthusiastic crowd at Lake View Park to join with them in their first annual outing. The dancing pavilion and grouds were packed, and all enjoyed themselves to the limit. Dr. Walker and his efficient aids are entitled to great credit for their success, despite the fact that many of the working members of the organization were out of the city for the summer. Genial "Phil" Waters is too good a man to remain long outside the politi- THE COLORED AMERICAN, WASHINGTON. D. C. cal breastworks. He is loyal to his friends, and when the proper individual "lands," Phil will land with him—perhaps in Washington. The national capitol is nearer the size of the Kanawha's "boy orator" than the cabined, cribbed and confined precincts of Charleston, West Virginia. There is talk that the enterprising Metropole Club may purchase the handsome property now occupied by it at 1633 11th street, northwest. It is a splendid building, well located and would prove a paying investment. In the fall, the billiard and pool parlor is to be greatly enlarged to accommodate the increased demand for the games. This is Progress with a capital "P." OBSERVATIONS. I have more regard for the old-fashioned girl who can cook a toothsome meal than for the fashion-plate who plays the piano indifferently. Mr. Robert Warner has made a host of friends by his capable and obliging service at the Metropole Club. He is custodian of the building and keeps everything in first-class condition. Pension Commissioner Ware still has a quorum, notwithstanding his crusade against the tipplers and debt-jumpers who have held forth in his office. The direlicts are turning over new leaves. Mr. John C. Prioleau is one of Washington's most substantial business men, irrespective of color. He is generous, systematic, prompt in meeting obligations and possesses a judgment that rarely errs. May his shadow never grow less. Bishop Arnett's purchase of the A. M. E. church headquarters here should be sustained at the General Conference. A great church must have a central office commensurate with its importance. The property here is a fine investment, and the corner will grow in value with the years. The District of Columbia will go to B. M. C. pretty well fortified as to candidates for the offices within the gift of the committee. Messrs. W. L. Houston and James W. Muse will contest for Sub-Committee of Management honors, and Mr. David Warner is well-backed for Grand Treasurer. Other announcements are expected later, and some "dark horses" may enter.

The total money receipts from all sources last year amounted to $341,000; the expenses for all purposes last year amounted to $126,000. Expenses per month, during regular school term, $10,567; expenses per day during regular school term 325. During the past 18 months gifts received for building alone, $243,212. During the past 15 months more than 3,000,000 bricks were made by the students; during the past year the students paid in labor toward their own expenses $86,000. These concrete figures show the growth of the work, and a number of the speakers referred to them as being ample answer to all the scoffers and maligners who would withhold the proper need of praise from the Presiding Genius who has given his life for his people, and who so sacrificingly labors on his work of "reaching the unreached"—the submerged nine-tenth, who most need the opportunities offered by a school such as Tuskegee. Among those who spoke were Dr. J. W. E. Bowen of Gammon Theological Seminary, Atlanta, and Rev. I Garland Penn of Atlanta, who had charge of the party and who were the active managers of the Congress its self. Mrs. Fannie Jackson Coppin of Philadelphia, Bishop Alex Walters of Jersey City, N. J., Dr. C. T. Walker of New York, Dr. George W. Lee of Washington, D. C., and Rev. Matthew Anderson of Philadelphia. The necessity of adjourning so as to catch the trains prevented a hearing from such representatives as Professor W. S. Scarborough of Wilberforce, Ohio, Bishop L. J. Coppin of Philadelphia, Rev. Ernest Lyon of Baltimore, Col. James Lewis of New Orleans and a host of others. The opportunity to see with their own eyes just what is being done at Tuskegee was remarked again and again by the visitors as the opportunity of a life time. Principal Washington himself was delighted at the coming of so many representative people of his own race and personally conducted a large party about the grounds, showing them the special points of interest. The occasion was one of mutual helpfulness. E. J. S. A BEAUTIFUL RECEPTION. Grand Master and Mrs. E. H. Morris The Guests of Honor. One of the most beautiful receptions of the season was given by Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Houston on Thursday evening, Aug. 7th, in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Edward H. Morris of Chicago, who have just returned to America from a three months' tour of Europe. Mr. Morris while abroad represented the G. U. O. of O. F. in America of which he is Grand Master, at the annual Movable Committee of the British branch. At the reception Mrs. Morris was elegantly gowned in a costume of blue albatross silk with aplique lace. She wore diamond ornaments, consisting of unique and beautiful designs of English settings. The front of her bodice was jeweled elaborately with emeralds and diamonds; at her neck was a superb brooch, to the left of which was secured a magnificent sunburst. The list of guests included Dr. and Mrs. F. J. Shadd, Dr. and Mrs. Jno. R. Francis, Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Murray, Dr. and Mrs. W. Bruce Evans, Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Hilyer, Mr. and Mrs. A. S.

Herald claims that Postmaster Grier, of that city, traded off the Negro census enumerators to secure his place as postmaster, and is making a vigorous fight on said Grier's retention. Director Merriam denies that the Negro enumerators were cut off on account of their color. Anyhow, if Grier has proven a traitor to Negro interests Brother Carter should fight him to the last ditch.

Come Thou, in mercy bring Help from above! We love our country's flag, Nor let her interests lag— Like men we stand But see, how Justice sleeps. How helpless Freedom weeps. While Crime, in madness, sweeps All o'er the land! 'Mid Caste's oppressive heel, To us, Thyself reveal, Lest we despair Outrage, and cruel Wrong Their blighting days prolong, O God Thine arm is strong— Our conflict share! From every trade we're driven. Thou seest no chance is given, Where shall we stand? The land. with woe is cursed, On her with fury burst, For human blood, a thirst God save the land! No Court of Justice ours, Crushed by Satanic powers, Our strength maintain. Stop Thou the Lynching Band, Save Thou the murderous land, Bring help by Thine own hand, Or life is vain! Thou God of every land, Before Thee nations stand— Behold the throng! The land of anarchy, Mob-law and treachery, And human butchery— O Lord how long! BY P. A. SCOTT. Oil City, Pa RICH PROGRAM OFFERED Meeting of National Negro Business League a Material Contribution to Racial Prosperity. The official program of the Third Annual session of the National Negro Business League at Richmond, Va., is out. It is full of attractive features and the topics are nicely balanced, assuring an opportunity for the presentation of data and suggestions upon a rich variety of commercial, industrial and social interests. The meetings cover three days, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, August 25, 26 and 27, with day and evening sessions. The spacious hall of the True Reformers, 604 North Second street, has been secured for the series. The League will be called to order at 12 m. on the 25th, by President Booker T. Washington. The address of welcome on behalf of the State will be delivered by His Excellency, Gov. Andrew Jackson Montague, while Mr. Giles B. Jackson will perform a similar duty on behalf of the Negro Business League of Virginia followed by Dr. Emmett Jones, and Mr. W. P. Burrell, speaking for the professional and business men of Richmond. After the usual responses the president will deliver his annual address, which will be full of meaty ideas upon racial development. Papers will be read by representatives of such callings as contracting and building, insurance, the press, banking, barbering, undertaking, hotel and restaurant business, tailoring, women's various occupations, dry goods trade, catering, hair goods, dress-making, millinery, drugs, furniture and hardware, manufacture of silk, cotton, shoes and shoe polish, carriages, wagons, etc., real estate, commission operations, besides philosophical surveys of the conditions of the Negro in the several sections of the country. The speakers are actively engaged in the business concerning which they are assigned to give testimony, and the information gleaned is bound to be authentic and practical. The papers are limited to twenty minutes. In the discussions to follow five minutes are allowed to each participant. Wednesday evening a banquet will [Name] REV, P. A. SCOTT. be tendered the delegates by the local Business league at Price's Hall, 210-212 East Leigh street, and on Thursday an excursion in the honor of the visitors will be given to Hampton, Fortress Monroe and Old Point Comfort. The success of the meeting is assured, and not less than twenty-eight States will be represented. The material value of such a conference to the race is beyond calculation. VIRGINIA MANUAL LABOR SCHOOL. Hon. John H. Smythe was in the city a few days ago on business of importance. He is looking well, and is putting in some highly effective HON. JOHN H. SAYTHE work for practical education and good morals as president of the Virginia Manual Labor School, connected with the Negro Reformatory Association of that State. This organization takes charge of young Negro incorrigibles and offenders, and by affording a harbor that separates them from the hardened criminals that would be met in the penitentiaries, boys are educated, surrounded by moral influences and converted into useful citizens. The State shows a liberal spirit in thus caring for its juvenile Afro-Americans, and the authorities are fortunate in securing so experienced a manager as Mr. Smythe. He will be remembered by the entire country as the very capa- ble and successful minister to Liberia under President Arthur. The labor school is situated at Broad Neck Farm, Hanover, Va., and has an excellent equipment for the purposes in hand. Mr. Smythe is assisted by Rev. J. Wesley Johnson, secretary, and Mr. John L. Williams, treasurer. BAPTIST WOMEN TO MEET. Miss Nannie H. Burroughs has issued a call as corresponding secretary of the Baptist Women's organizations for a National convention to be held at Birmingham, Ala., September 17, 1902. She urges all missionary societies, children's bands, district and State organizations to send delegates. The meeting will be held in the 16th street Baptist Church, of which Rev. J. A. Q. Wilhite is pastor. For information as to fees, ratio of representation, etc., write to Miss Burroughs, 718 W. Walnut street, Louisville, Ky. JOURNEYED TO OYSTER BAY. The first delegation of colored men to visit President Roosevelt at his Oyster Bay retreat was composed of Justice Robert H. Terrell, Whitfield McKinlay, the real estate dealer, and Douglass B. McCrary, cashier of the Capital Savings Bank. They are reported to have gone there in the in- J. Judge ROBERT H. TERRELL. terest of certain candidates for Commissioner of the District of Columbia. They had a very pleasant interview with the President, and it is not doubted that their recommendations will have weight in deciding who shall succeed the late Mr. Roess. Aggressive Club's Clambake The Aggressive Club gave a claim bake at Lake View Park last Saturday. A fine dinner was served at 5:30 p.m. Other attractive features were provided by the management. The officers and managers of the club are James E. Dent president; Charles H. Christian, vice-president; Samuel H. Harrison, secretary; Robert O'Bryan, business manager; J. H. Handy, B. C. Lee, M. L. Butler, C. Harrison Edelin and George Liverpool. Wanted To Know--- Wanted To Know--- Why don't some enterprising Negro syndicate erect an office building for colored business men and attorneys somewhere on D street between Fifth and Seventh, convenient to the courts and mercantile centers? Have you noticed the number of women here who do a profitable business as dressmakers, music teachers, hair-dressers, and clerks, whose husbands draw from $1,400 down in various branches of public service. Why Congress gives the office of the Register of Wills all the new furniture, repairs and clerks needed, while the Recorder's Office is forced to put up with an outfit that would disgrace a county office in the backwoods of Mississippi?

No work is hard, if ekilfully and systematically mansged. The newspaper men seem to be getting a turn at the bat. We put in too much time hunting some one to blame for our own shortcomings. A journal conducted for the express purpose of venting the spleen of an indivual is born to die. Keep cool. The mistakes of mankind are made when the individual is laboring under excitement. Clean out the alley houses of Wash ington. They are breeders of disease, and swell our death rate. The Colored American is full of ginger, and can be depended upon to put up a strong fight for all the people The morals of a people must keep pace with their mental development, if they hope for permanent growth. Oklahoma offers fine inducemen's for Negroes with some capital and a goodly supply of energy and business capacity. Col. Pledger objects to the irruption that the Southern delegate to national conventions is a purchasable quantity. Stop loafing around the places of business conducted by colored men. You drive away the trade of respectable people. Our women should put more business ability in their domestic duties. Time is a commodity that few estimate at its true value. Intelligent. Negro soldiers should be encouraged by the hope of promotion for galant services, the same as their white comrades. Mrs Ida Wells Barnett has not yet become reconciled to the results growing out of the St. Paul meeting of the Afro-American Council. The "sell out Negro" exists every where, but his mad career should be brought to a close as soon as his male factions are discovered. Colored visitors who come to the C. A. R Encampment will fare the same as the regular Negro population is accustomed to puttir group with. Nevertheless and notwithstanding, Roscoe Bruce is going ahead and attending to his own business according to his lights, and will succeed. We learn by doing—therefore, let us have a part and parcel in all the avenues and activities of life, in common with all other classes of citizens Intemperance in drink, dress, amusements and speech is doing more to pull the race down than all the mouthings Tillman can work off in a decade. Negroes are abandoning the rural districts and migrating to the cities, because o' the superior police protec- tion afforded in the commercial centers. Bear in mind, the Negro is not a striker, an anarchist, or a beggar. He simply wishes a chance to work, and the quiet enjoyment of all of his rights as a citizen. In spite of all, it appears that Corbin is to rise to commanding general of the army in a few years. Shades of Grant, Sherman, Sheridan and Miles! What a drop! A Negro neighborhood need not be characterized by ill-kept, tumble-down houses ragged children, and ill smelling odors. A little care each day will work wonders. How many people are in receipt of wages so small 'hat they cannot save ten cents a day? This would be $36.50 in a year—and you wouldn't feel the slight sacrifice. 'Supreme Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes' has a mell fluent sound, and recalls a flood of pleasant memories, in which an "Autocrat of the Breakfast Table" has a star part. The man who works under direction that should proceed on the theory he will one day be in command, and hence should study thoroughly every detail of the business. The columns of his newspaper should not be used to exploit an editor's personal grievance. Subscribers want news and carefully digested opinions, not billingsgate. It takes a lot of patience to get along with a confir.iliar, for many c. his fabrications are so gauzy as to indicate that he takes his listener to be a fool—with an unparliamentary prefix. The Colored American supplied the inspiration for almost the entire editorial page of the Indianapolis World of August 9th. We have habit of making editors and the public at large do some emphatic thinking. Editor Manning's membership in the putative National Afro-American Press Association appears to have escaped the argus eyes of the committee that dealt out the offices, as well as those of the reporter of the Associated Press. Prof Sladd's forced retirement from the chair of Emory College indicates that teachers who state the case of the South vs. the Negro in plain Anglo-Saxon, are not wanted to train the youthful mind in the ethics of social science. From the list of general officers elected by the national association developed from the Young People's Religious and Educational Congress, the business sessions can always be assured of a quorum by retaining the headquarters in Atlanta.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 23, 1902. TUSKEGEE'S OPEN DOOR. The cry from some quarters that Booker T. Washington is "buying up" all the promising college graduates and "carting them off to Tuskegee" to cripple the higher educational forces is the veriest rot. Such inane gabble is unworthy a place in the columns of a newspaper that is supposed to cater to the instruction of intelligent readers, Mr. Washington has engaged a number of graduates from various colleges, from which each year he selects timber suitable to his needs. He is giving these young people an opportunity to work for their own benefit, and is at the same time bringing into the Southland the flower of the race's intellect, that has been nurtured and fostered in the best universities of the country—bringing to the black belt an uplifting agency that might not otherwise be drawn thither—a leaven that is certain to lighten the whole lump of ignorance and shiftlessness. Trained minds, to train other minds, are what the race needs, and Mr. Washington is rendering the entire nation a service in choosing the very best material available to aid him in his great cause. The men and women chosen this year are types of an increasing class of promising Afro-Americans who are making for progress, and in employing them, the "Wizard" builds wisely and well. Would that more Tuskegees might rise up to offer an open door to brains and character. Would that the race would develop a thousand enterprises of every variety to provide places where the commercial, agricultural and mechanical genius of our people could find avenues towards substantial citizenship! The putty balls of envious contemporaries move us not. The foreign element, with a characteristic disrespect for the autocracy of legal methods in redressing grievances, is chiefly to blame for the rioting in and about Shenandoah, Pa. If the operators had a spoonful of sense, they would supplant these adventurers at once with native American labor—the best of which is the industrious and patient Fegro. The country will find out its mistake one of these days. LET US LEARN FROM THE JEWS. Our sympathies are with the Jewish mourners who followed Rabbi Joseph the other day in New York to his last resting place, and against the black-guards who disgraced themselves and the country by their savage attack upon the funeral procession. It was the natural outbreak of race prejudice that shows its ugly head whenever it thinks the law is powerless to ad inister punishment. Prejudice in any ferm is the foe to Christianity and good government, and it behooves all loyal citizens to take a hand agai st it. We are glad the Jews are invoking the aid of the best legal lent to ferret out and punish the offenders, and we congratulate them upon their prompt and unanimous rally in defense of their rights and racial dignity. No race can inspire respect that does not stand ready with purse and fist to maintain that which it holds as its sacred heritage—free and untrammeled citizenship, under theaws of the land. Despite persecution, outrage and humiliation, the Jews have risen to be proportionately the ri hest people on the face of the earth A teacher who thinks only of the money she is to receive for her services is not worth her salt. PUBLICITY PROMOTES REFORMS. The Record of this city ought to understand that there are two sides to every controversy, and it is a very narrow newspaper that will assume to sit in judgment on any matter with only ex parte evidence at hand. Differences of opinion will always exist as to the merits of public men, whether they be priests or politicians, and those who venture into the white light of official station, must be thin skinned to offer puerile objections or complain like babies when asked to account for their stewardship. When charges are made in the public prints, whether true or false, investigation is the only method by which the acts may be made known, and justice established. An equal chance and fair play is the invariable policy of The Colored American in handling any subject deemed worthy of notice, whether it concerns a political party, social organization or religious denomination. Any other course would be fossilism personified. The people are entitled to know the trend of sentiment concerning church and state. The Negro must become able to have the truth told about his shortcomings, without flying into a passion. NATIONAL NEGRO BUS NESS LEAGUE. Only a few more days elapse before the assembling of the National Negro Business League at Richmond, Virginia. The exact dates are August 25, 26, and 27. The arrangements are all perfected for the reception and entertainmen of the great outpouring of tradesmen, merchants, professional and agricultural representa ives, who have come to regard these meetings as dearly as the Mohamedans revere the annual pilgrimage to Mecca. The help and encouragement growing out of an honest interchange of experiences and the value of the suggestions offered at the sessions of the League are working wonders in promoting business enterprise among our people, and the reports each year have shown a positive growth in the number, character and volume of the Negro's commercial operations. We increase the desire for a standing in the world of trade and finance by noting the successes that our thousands of individuals are making in many avenues of industry. By putting our heads together and struggling for larger commercial opportunities, for industrial recognition and for practical and marketable education, the solid and permanent advancement of the race can be assured. The attendance at the meeting of the league on the 25th should be large, and every delegate should come prepared to add something to the eclat of the occasion If any point is not clear, as to plans, purposes and exhibits, inquiries should be addressed to Booker T. Washington, Tuskegee, Alabama. If no premium is placed upon female virtue, by honoring her that hath it and disciplining her that hath it not, society is doomed. PHI ADET PHIA RECORD SUSTAINS US The protest of The Colored American against the unfair treatment of the Negro soldiers by Adjutant General Corbin, is stirring up the press of the country, and a number of leading metropolitan dailies have been giving our candid expose considerable editorial attention. The Philadelphia Record quotes at length from our article, and gives it a prominent place in its columns. While taking the view that the Negroes who saved Gen. Corbin from disgrace perhaps did no more than their duty, and that therefore, the latter is not especially indebted to them, the Record adds this 'sockdolager," a parting shot that rings out like a clarion note, suetaining unequivocally the position of The Colored American: "None the less, from the standpoint of the party that armed the Negro with the ballot and which calls upon him to stand up and fight the foes of the Republic, there is no adequate answer to the questioning of the Negro editor." And it may be that the prejudiced Corbin will not attempt to make any. Our only resort is an appeal to our soldier-president, Theodore Roosevelt. Say what you will, the Negro press exerts an influence which the powers recognize, whether they admit the fact or not. In the North the man-hunters are called a "posse," and in the South they are known as a 'mob," but when they get hold of a victim, they both look alike to him. Our business status is the ladder which promises best for racial growth. The National Business League, now an assured fixture, is the organization to which we must look for the most substantial results. The men accused of participating in the Leesburg lynching have been indicted, but before we jubilate too vociferously, let us remember that they are not yet convicted by a petit jury, drawn from the ranks of their fellowcitizens. Remember Lake City. It is a pity the District Commissioners have not the authority to accept the services of the public spirited physicians who offered to inspect the health of schools free of charge. We are pleased to note that the list of vol unteers included the names of several colored physicians. The Negro is ever ready to do his part. If, as Editor Manning claims, the Negro press has no influence in securing better conditions for the Negro, and that its counsel is invariably unheeded, why does he continue to publish the Indianapolis World, and insist that a hard-working people shall go down into their pockets and pay him for a paper that he confesses is worthless? Persecution is solidifying the Negao people. Opposition brings out the strong points of individuals and races. Today the Negro has more schools, better churches, greater business enterprises, larger farms, bigger bank accounts, more competent professional men and more general culture than he had a decade ago. Let us labor on, and take advantage of all opportunities to rise. The Washington Post has discovered that the "best citizens" did not take part in that Leesburg lynching, a ds uirms into a denunciation of the fiends that perpetrate such direful acts, in contravention of the law of the land, and who bring shame upon decent communities. The Post has, at last, seen a great light, and hastens to get under the banner of respectability. Lynching is growing to be a discreditable pastime. R. L. Smith, editor of the Helping Hand, has been appointed chief deputy in the office of the United States Marshal A. J. Houston, of Texas. Mr. Smith is a man of great influence in the politics of the Lone Star State, and served with credit in her legislature. He is the head of the Farmers' Improvement Society, which has saved many acres of land to the Negro by its system of "lifting mortgages." The appointment gives general satisfaction. That there are scandals connected with the Philippine situation requiring investigation, no one will doubt. Not least among them is the summary turning-down of competent Negro soldiers, whose valorous services called for places of honor in the regular army. Marking an officer as inefficient, for the purpose of defeating his promotion, merely because he is colored, is not a policy that pleases Americans who believe in fair play. We do not believe that Mr. Roosevelt knows as much about these things as he should. Let the facts be brought to his attention. There is a healthful renewal of the agitation for a proper recognition of the Negro soldier in the regular army. General disgust is felt among the race over the niggard treatment accorded the "boys" who fought so valiantly at San Juan, Santiago and in the Philip pines. We are entitled to a fair share of commissions and emoluments growing out of the war, and the case should not be permitted to rest until full justice has been done. The facts should be laid before President Roosevelt. We have no doubt that he is inclined to do the right thing by his fellow-comrades. The Negroes of Washington, who draw from $900 to $1600 per year from the government, and who are amply able to buy a home for their families, are buying white men's houses over and over again—with the deed remaining in the white man's name.

From each of the four arms of the chandelier, in the center of the ta- . was a large oval-shaped cluster of jacquemenot roses, with flloral streamers, extending to near each end and the side of the table, intertwin- ing, im graceful lines, around the bases of the candelabras, wnich were sur- rounded red lace shades. From each corner of the table, fol- lowing the streamers, overhead, ex- tended rews of silver forks and spoons, while here and there, were placed beautiful eut gass dishes, containing olives, pickles, assorted salted nuts znd bon bons. ‘The supper, served by Poindexter, Cleveland’s leading caterer, was done in his uusa tahmelleengt,;eajcssaashe in his usual matchless style, and con- sisted of cold ham and _ tongue, chicken salad, lettuce sandwiches of heart-shape, brown bread sandwiches of cresent design, coffee, Neapolitan ice cream, and assorted cakes. After the feast, dancing was indulg- ed in, until late (or early) hour. During the evening, at the request of Mrs. and Miss Hall, Mr. Harvey Williams sang several very peautiful selections to the dehght of all. It was the concensus of all that Mr. Wil- liams never appeared to better advan- tage: and he was warmly congratu- lated.
