A LADY PRESIDENT
At a Cape May Literary—News Notes. CAPE MAY. N. J., Special.—Last week there was a "warm" debate at the Baptist Literary. The subject discussed was "Resolved, that the sun does move." Rev. Kemp, pastor of the church, was the first speaker on the affirmative. He produced Biblical and historical facts to substantiate his argument. The literary is presided over by one of the "fair set," and it is conceded that this alone makes the Baptist Literary so popular among the young men of Cape May.
The Mystic Shriners of Philadelphia gave a grand cake walk and ball at Dale's auditorium on Tuesday night last and was highly appreciated by Mr. Dale's host of white patrons and others who enjoy such pleasant pastime. Mr. Dale is manager and proprietor of one of the finest European dining rooms in this town.
Rev. C. A. Tindley, of Philadelphia, preached an able sermon to a large congregation at the Franklin M. E. Church. Rev. Tindley is a noted pulpit orator and there were many white clergymen and church goers out to greet him. His sermon was the beginning of a series of meetings to be held in said church, and it is believed that a handsome sum will be realized. Contributions have been solicited from all hotel employees, which will help to swell the fund. Mr. W. H. Robinson, a guest at the Cape May House, is general agent for the McGirt's Magazine, a periodical edited and published by James McGirt one of our famous Negro poets.
The Stockton waiters will have their share of seeing many a baseball game this season. There is a game every Saturday afternoon, and as their quarters overlook the "diamond," they can enjoy the game without any cost. The game last Saturday between Phillies and Cape May, was very interesting, the score being 7 to 0 in favor of Cape May.
For the first time this season, the fire department was called out last Saturday in answer to a call from Washington and Franklin streets. The arrival of the 3:45 train from Pennsylvania and the ringing of the fire alarm all happened simultaneously and much excitement prevailed. People on the incoming train moved hither and thither to see the fire-fighting apparatus of a modern summer resort. The waiters at the Lafayette and Congress hotels are noted baseball players. There was a lively game and the score was 3 to 3. The game would have been decided in favor of Congress hall had the time permitted. One of the players was disabled, and this caused the delay.
The Allen Literary and Historical Association has changed its nights of meeting from Thursday to Monday. On Monday there was a lively debate on "Resolved, That public improvements are no benefit to labor." Mr. Tranks, a popular shoe mechanic of Cape May, introduced the subject, and in course of his argument said that public improvement is not beneficial to the laboring man, because of the fact that when improvements are made taxes are increased, and this ultimately is a burden to the laboring man. Among those who participated in the discussion were Messrs. Tranks, Junior Bayton, Jefferson and Beaman.
Mr. and Mrs. Ferdinand D. Lee and their daughters, Lola and Beatrice Ruffin, are enjoying the pleasant seaside life of Cape May. They are guests at the Magnolia on Lafayette street, which has all the ideal improvements and comforts for the reception of its guests from Washington and Philadelphia. Mr. Lee and family will leave August 15 for a pleasure trip to Atlantic City and Philadelphia, returning to Washington August 20.
Mr. A. E. Bates, of Washington, D.C., received a telegram Tuesday morning, summoning him home to the bedside of his mother, who has become recently ill. Mr. Bates was employed at the Stockton as a waiter, and all of his fellow workmen expressed their regret on his untimely departure.

DR. SHEPARD'S ITINERACY.
D. James E. Shepard, of Durham, N. C., Field Secretary of the International S. S. Association, passed through the city, on Tuesday, enroute home from Winona Lake, Indiana, where he delivered two addresses. In an interview, Dr. Shepard stated to our reporter, that he believed that
DR. JAMES E. SHEPARD. Secretary of the International Sunday School Union, Durham, N. C.
every citizen of this country, regardless of color, or section, applauded the President's manly letter on lynching. It is an erroneous view that the better class of colored people try to shield those who are guilty of crime. They do not. They want to see those punished who violate the law, and the good thinking Negroes are awakened to the importance of this step and crime must be minimized. The women of both races must be protected. The man who commits crime must and should be punished. Lynch law must go.

THE OHIO FEDERATION OF WOMEN'S CLUBS.
One of the most potent factors in the solution of many of the grave responsibilities which assail the 20th century Negro, will be the National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, which is rapidly extending its influences throughout the country. The improvement of the sad condition of many of our women in the far South will be the special charge of this organization of true and earnest members of their own sex, through the purposes of the Federation are upon the broadest lines.
It is pleasant to note the vigor of the Ohio State branch and how highly they have pitched their moral and intellectual tone. Beginning on the sixteenth of July, ultimo, they held a convention at Xenia, Ohio, which was largely attended and distinguished both for enthusiasm and harmony. Fourteen clubs were represented and the questions discussed were of the most varied character all, however, designed to elevate to the highest plane the home moral

MRS. CARRIE WILLIAMS CLIFFORD and civil life of our women, and sequentially, of course, of our men.
Many of the best known women of Ohio were present, including Miss Helen O. Brown, to whom the credit of orginating the idea of the Federation and of crystallizing it into something substantial has been conceded. One of the most useful as well as capable ladies connected with the "Ohio Idea" of the movement is Mrs. Carrie W. Clifford, of Cleveland, who at the recent convention was re-elected its President. Mrs. Clifford demonstrates in her own life the utter absence of antagonism between domestic duty and proper public usefulness. Her home life is an ideal one, and yet she has found time to render conspicuous service to the cause of the Federation. With the assistance of an equally gifted lady, Miss Emma A. Tolbert, as Associate, she edits the organ of the Ohio branch, aptly called the "Queens Chambers," which is published semi-monthly, keeps all

Winn, will make the address of the evening.
Master Arthur Giddings, organist of the Messiah Baptist church, and his brother, Master Walter Giddings, spent a few days in Staten Island, during the past week, as the guests of the Dundgeys. Miss E. Burrel, of Morningside Ave., and Miss Hattie Conway, of Prescott St., were the guests of the Dungeys, Thursday and Friday, of the past week.
Miss Mamie Schuyler and Miss Grace Young, both of Manhattan, spent Sunday with friends in Yonkers. Mrs. French, of New York, was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Bruce, on Sunday last.

THE COLORED AMERICAN
NEGROES IN THE NAVY. boo Sale set
The announcement is made during
the past week that Negroes are no
longer to be enlisted in the U. S. Navy
and that those now in the service are
to be gradually but remorselessly
eliminated. The authority for this
statement is not given, but despite this
do not doubt it was officially inspired.
The strange fact in the statement is
the concession that the Negro has
made an excellent sailor, and the fur-
‘her fact is observed that there is no
record or complaint of misconduct on
his part to justify so unjust a decision.
The history of the Negro’s connec-
tion with the Navy is a highly honora-
ble one. In all our great engagemenis
since the organization of the Govern-
meni he has been present and borne a
worthy part. His value and services
are recognized in every chronicle of
the Navy’s glorious deeds. On the
walls of cur great Copitol building in
Washington his face and form are
limned in imperishable colors by the
side of the great Commodore Perry at
the moment of victory at the Battle of
Leke Frie. :
So eniinent and just a man as the
brilliant Admiral Dewey has given
willing and recent testimony to his
bravery and love of the flag. Our
tars have been guilty of many excesses
while on leave from their ships in for-
eigu ports, but we have yet to hear of
the participation therein of any Negro
sailor. The ridiculous and threadbare
ery of social equality is presented as
an excuse for the decision to drive the
colored sailor cut. Is a war vessel
of the United States another Newport
casino, or the Metropolitan Club of
Washington? We have always under-
stood that the lines of the social ques-
tion on a war vessel were sharply
drawn at the tinselled frippery of the
lowest grade midshipmite that does
even a warrant officer with a record of
years of brave and honorable service
and of pure and elevated character
could penetrate into the outer corridor
of these exclusive circles.
Is it possible that the black ward
reom servant has been trying to flirt
with the captain’s daughter, disguised
as another Ralph Rakestraw? The
pretense is disingenuous. It is ab-
surd! There is grave business to be
done on a war vessel and the Negro
has shown his fitness and capacity for
it. He must not and he shall not be
driven from the service, even if the
President has to be appealed to.
SOLVING THE PROBLEM.
Wituiamson, W. Va., August 3.—
Wm. Cohen, white, entered the clerk’s
office today accompanied by a colored
woman, and asked for a marriage li-
cense. On being refused he started
for the door, but before reaching it
dropped dead.
COLORED LAWYERS ORGANIZE.
A number of representatives of the
colored bar met ‘at Little Rock, Ark.,
on the 15th ult.,and organized a Na-
tional Bar Association. Lawyer Scip-
io A. Jones, of that city, one of the
prime movers, was elected president,
and a number of committees were ap-
pointed, on which some of the ablest
lawyers of the race were placed.
The purpose of the organization evi-
dently is to enabie the members of
the legal profession to get together
and interchange ideas, and to foster
measures by means of which the tal-
ent of the race may be utilized to the
best advantage.
Mrs. Fred Fowler, of A street north-
east, accompanied by her little grand-
daughter, Josephine, left on the Ist
inst., for Waterbury, Conn., on a visit
to her son, Mr. C. C. Fowler. Mrs.
Fowler expects te visit friends in oth-
er northern cities during her absence,
and will return some time in Septem-
ber. And on the same day that Mrs.
Fowler left for Waterbury, Miss Ad-
die J. Matthews, a niece of hers, went
to Frederick, Ma., on a visit to her
relatives, and in a letter she speaks of
having a very pleasant time:

A PROPHET AT HOME.
Genial Bob Pelham Visits His Native Heath and there is a Sound of Revelry by Night.—Flashes from the Wolverine State.
DETROIT, MICH., Special.—Possibly the neatest compliment ever paid to any man in Detroit was the stag dinner in honor of Rob't Pelham, Jr., on the occasion of his visit home, July 24th.
Dr. J. W. Ames and Mr. W. E. Cole were the hosts and they played their parts to perfection. Covers were laid for twenty-one and their spacious adjoining residences were turned into a bower of beauty and place of revelry.
On the arrival of the guest of honor, the company was ushered into the parlors of Mr. Cole, where they indulged in cards and pleasantries until from a secluded spot the resonant tones of a phonograph broke in upon them and so surprised the party that further concentration upon the games in hand was abandoned, and Mr. George C.
R. M. M.
Cole, the local distributor for the American and Columbia Phonograph Companies, was urged to render a complete program of his choice selections. This was followed by that inimitable artist, Mr. Samuel Lucas, whose selections upon the guitar, solos and monologues kept the party in constant laughter until 11 p. m., when the party was conducted by the genial doctor into his apartments, the ground floor of which had been transformed into a beautiful dining hall where the guest of the evening was to be treated to a surprise ever to be remembered.
The room was dotted here and there with the stars and stripes; across the archway artistically draped was a large flag beneath whose folds, enentwined with smilax was a picture of the guest encircled by the words "Welcome Pelham." A hugh bouquet of
J.
flowers decorated the center of the table, while at either end the letter "P" was outlined in smilax and nasturtiums. Just before taking their seats at the table each gentleman was told that he would be expected to respond to a toast to help carry out the doctor's idea of an "Evening with Pelham." The list began with "Pelham as a friend," followed by many others appropriate.
THE COLORED AMERICAN
among them: "Pelham as a newspaper man; as a politician, as a humorist; as a home builder; as a national character; as a lawyer," etc.
Here Mr. Pelham was made to feel by the sentiments expressed that his presence was appreciated and absence felt by the warm personal friends at home, whose best wishes for his success were ever predominant. Mr. Pelham's response was delivered in his usual characteristic style, but he could not conceal his emotion which this unexpected show of good will aroused within him. As Auld Lang Syne was lustly sung each gentleman approached the guest and wished for him many good things as they pulled one side of a wish-bone, prepared for the occasion, and thus the wee small hours found them singing him a "Jolly good fellow" as they wended their way homeward.
Mr. Pelham came to attend the wedding of his neice, of which the Detroit Journal, of yesterday, spoke as follows:
It is said that the wedding to-night of Miss Norinne Mabel Ferguson and Leonard C. Thompson will be the most elaborate social function Detroit colored society has ever known. Miss Ferguson is the daughter of Attorney and ex-Legislative Representative W. W. Ferguson. Mr. Thompson, is abstract clerk for the Union Trust Co.
The ceremony will be celebrated in St. Matthew's Episcopal church, Antoine and Elizabeth streets, by Rev. J. B. Massiah, at 7.30 o'clock. The high church full choral service will be used. Admission will be by card. The reception, from 8 to 10 p. m., will
be at the residence of the bride's grandmother, Mrs. Robert Pelham, 223 Alfred street, whose spacious dwelling adjoins the Ferguson home. Finney's orchestra will play during the reception hours.
Miss Adah N. Pelham, of Hannibal, Mo., will be the maid of honor and Mrs. Metta P. F. Richardson, the matron of honor. The bridesmaids are the Misses Harriet F. Barrier and Gertrude Thompson. The flower girls are Dorothy Pelham, of Washington, D. C. and Frances Pelham. The groom will be attended by Dr. H. Peyton Johnson. The ushers are Clarence Thompson, Romaine W. Jeffrey, Robert De Cofield and John L. Richardson. Out of town guests are Prof. J. H. Pelham, of Hannibal, Mo., and Robert Pelham, Jr., of Washington, D. C."
The young couple received many valuable presents, among them, $25 in gold from the Union Trust company, accompanied by a very complimentary letter to the groom.

HOWARD UNIVERSITY MEDICAL DEPARTMENT.
A Record of Great Achievement.
The Medical Department of Howard University will begin the approaching fall session under most favorable auspices. It holds front rank among medical schools in the country and its clinical faculties are unsurpassed. Its faculty has been selected with great care and every member of it had won his professional spurs before his appointment.
The department is proud of its many graduates, who are scattered over every part of this country and who have gone also beyond its confines. Not one of them has been known to have violated the ethics of his profession, all of them are doing excellently and a number have risen to eminence. Tis is true not only of the medical graduates, but of the dental and pharmaceutical ones also. Patronage of a flattering character has followed the demonstration of professional skill. Dr. F. J. Shadd, the secretary of the department, who is its executive officer, keeps a watchful eye upon its interests.
It may not be well known outside the District of Columbia that the famous Freedmen's Hospital, one of the largest institutions in the country, is closely allied to the Medical Depart-
M.
DR. F. J. SHADD.
ment of Howard University and that all its facilities are practically at the sole service of the students of the department. In equipment, in the scholarship of its professors and in the liberal terms offered to students the department is unrivalled in the country. From a long list of achievements by the graduates of this department it is interesting to note of those who have graduated in recent years that Dr. J. Frank Allen, class of 1901, has recently passed the examining boards of the states of Pennsylvania and New Jersey; Miss Anna Bartsch, class of 1902, has passed the District of Columbia board and will locate in this city; Dr. George R. Ferguson, 1903, has passed the Virginia State board, said to be the most rigid in the country; Dr. E. B. Terry, 1903, has passed the New Jersey board and will locate at Atlantic City, and Dr. J. A. White, 1903, has passed the Florida State board.
The authorities note throughout the country a great demand for pharmacists and dentists. In the City of Topeka, Kans., an opening for the right person is ready at a substantial salary. It appears also from their observation that pharmacy is coming to be the profession for women. In all their correspondence there is the further gratifying fact that Howard University graduates are preferred.
Mrs. J. B. Wells, Supt. of Mercy Hospital of the Meharry Medical College, Nashville, Tenn., spent a few days in this city last week, the guest of Dr. J. J. Chilcoat, 2358 6th street, N. W. Mrs. Wells will return to Nashville in time to attend the meeting of the National Negro Business League.
THE COLORED AMERICAN
A very fine treat is being prepared for the residents of Atlantic City, N. J., and the summer visitors there in the Grand Musical Festival projected for the 20th instant, by the public spirited members of the race there. It will be under the direction of Professor Albert F. Mando, the famous instructor and leader of New York City. Prof. Mando is a finished musician and is at the head of the Mozart Conservatory of Music in the Empire City, an institution the exceptional merits of which have been heretofore mentioned in the columns of The Colored American.
J. T.
PROF. A. F. MANDO,
The good people of Atlantic City are on the qui vive for the coming function and there is no doubt it will be largely attended.
There will be first a Young People's Carnival, then a festival of purely classical music and finally a grand march, reception and dancing.
Washington people who failed to hear Prof. Mando and his magnificent orchestra of artists on his visit some years ago to this city should not fail to be present at the approaching symposium which is already attracting the attention of the best people of New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore.
MR. THEODORE DRURY
Appeared Last Friday Evening, Before Jersey City's Fashionable Audience. JERSEY CITY, N. J., Special.—The Concert given by the Lafayette Presbyterian church, last Friday evening, in which Mr. Drury was engaged as the star, was an overwhelming success.
The concert was under the auspices of the Lyceum, got the benefit of the piano and was managed by Dr. Geo. E. Cannon, of Jersey City. Mr. Drury was ably supported by home talent. He made his first appearance in "La Stances" by A. Fleigier, sung in French, and scored an immediate success. After singing several encores he sang by special request, "The Palm Trees."
Everybody was greatly pleased and all poined in saying that Mr. Drury's voice improves every year and it goes without saying that he is the most popular artist before the public to-day, both in opera and concert. He is not only able to sing the classical pieces but can please all classes as he sings with equal ease such pieces as the dainty selection "Two Maidens" and the musical recitation "Twickenham Ferry."
H was accompanied by Miss E. B. Magnan, of New York, whose accompaniments are "par excellence." Bishop Walters, who was present in the audience, rose and made a short address in which he promised that he would surely attend Mr. Drury's opera next May.

Negro Prosperity in the South.
Nashville—the Metropolis of the Southwest.—Progressive Race Leaders. Successful Business Men.
NASHVILLE, TENN., Special.—A city is not to be judged by its piles of brick and stone, its hordes of wealth, its flashing display of apparent possessions, nor is it to be judged by the number of its inhabitants, for all these things are transient. But the strength, the real enduring worth of such a city must be determined by the character of its constituents; the calibre, the intellect, the spiritual quality, as it were, of the men in whose hands its destiny lies. Hence, the truest history, the most truthful picture, of any city is that of the individuals thereof.
Nashville, Tenn., where the 4th annual session of the National Negro Business League is to be held, stands out conspicuous for two reasons. First, the interest the country has in the
PROF F. G. SMITH, 646 Bass Street, Nashville, Tenn.
League, and second, the importance of the city. Nashville is the Athens of the South so far as the Negro is concerned. Here the race has three of the best schools in the country, Waldon, Roger Williams and Fisk Universities. The greatest Negro Medical School in the United States, Maharry, which has graduated more colored physicians than all the others together. Nashville public schools stand high in point of excellence, having over 6,000 colored children, taught by about 65 teachers. Here we find the two publishing houses of the Baptist and A. M. E. churches. A large number of fine church houses grace the city. There are four drug stores, one steam laundry, a shirt factory, two undertaking establishments, an insurance business, one ice cream factory, a livery stable, a good many groceries and restaurants, one wholesale junk dealer, one poultry yard, a large number of good tailors, two or three first class architects a half dozen first class pain-

ters, more than a dozen lawyers and about as many physicians, a large number of excellent ministers. It is said that Nashville is the home of more Negro authors than any other city in the United States. Withal, Nashville is a great city, worthy of the honor conferred upon her by the meeting of the National Negro Business League. Following are a few of its leading people.
Prof. F. G. Smith, the present, efficient Principal of Pearl High School, Nashville Tenn., is a native of Selma, Ala. After completing the common English course in Burrel Academy, his parents sent him to Fisk University. His progress in this Institution was rapid and is was not long before he was considered one of the best in his class. He graduated with honor from the College Department in 1887. After leaving school, he took up his work as teacher in the city schools of Nashville. So acceptable was his service to the Board of Education that he never filled any position longer than two years, except the one which he now holds, that of principal of the Pearl High School, which place he has ably filled for the past eight years. Prof. Smith devotes his whole life and study to the upbuilding of his school. To give some idea of the work that has
been accomplished during his administration, we note the following. 1st. The course of study has been specialized and an expert teacher placed in charge of each branch. 2nd. The standard of scholarship has been raised. 3rd. Increased facilities in the Science Department. 4th. An annual sermon to the Graduating Class. 5th. The establishment of a Senior Social and Alumni banquet. Many other new things have been inaugurated which cannot be mentioned in this brief sketch. Through the combined efforts of the teachers and the Principal, the Pearl High School now ranks as one of the first High Schools in the South for the exclusive education of colored youth.
In addition to his studies along literary lines, Prof. Smith has completed a course in Medicine and Pharmacy, at the Maharry Medical College and a course in Shorthand and Typewriting at Fall's Business College. He was the Continued on page 5.
first man in Tennessee to pass the State Board of Pharmacy held at Vanderbilt University. Though the legal possessor of three degrees, won by perseverance and hard labor, in striking contrast to many of our leading men, who are fond of stringing to their names multiduinous titles Prof. Smith never attaches a degree to his name.
Besides being a polished scholar, Prof. Smith has proved to be an orator. His addresses each year to his graduating class are eloquent and instructive. He is a man of talent; studious, progressive, energetic, honorable and conscientious and enjoys the confidence and esteem of the best people with whom he is acquainted.

GOTHAM LEADERS ORGANIZE.
On Monday, August 3d, there will
be held at Saratoga, N. Y., a conven-
tion of representative colored citizens
of that State for the purpose of form-
ing a non-partisan equal right asso-
ciation with the special aim to contin-
ve the agitation and protest against
the frightful conditions which beset
our people in different parts of the
country, but especially in the South,
until the remedy is discovered and ap-
plied. Prominent and influential citi-
zens, both white and colored, have ex-
pressed their interest and given their
cordial support to this movement
which gives promise of effective serv-
ice.
Bishop Wm. B. Derrick, it is
thought will be selected as president,
and many other strong men of the
ince are expected to attend and con-
tribute to the success of the meeting.
We believe this movement should be
repeated in every State in the North.

THAT BOSTON RIOT.
Trotter and His Misguided Followers
in the Meshes of the Law and Sent
to Durance Vile—Moral Cowardice
of the Hoodlums Who are Afraid
to Riot a White Meeting—Ferris’
Stranded in Louisville.
Boston, Mass., Special.—Last night
at the A. M. E. Zion Church, on Colum-
bus avenue, at a public meeting of the
Boston branch of the National Negro
Business League, one of the most dis-
graceful and riotous scenes in the his-
tory of Beston was precipitated by five
men, under the leadership of William
Monroe Trotter, editor of the Boston
Guardian, who has become insane in
his opposition to Dr. Booker T. Wash-
ington and his methods of leadership.
The plan to break up the meeting was
deliberately premeditated, and was of
the coarsest, most vulgar sort, such as
is employed everywhere by the hood-
lum, rowdy elements to create riot
and confusion. Trotter was backed
up in his rowdyism by a half dozen
women of the street, whose vulgar ser-
vices were obviously purchased. Mar-
tin, the man who began the interrup-
tion, and was most persistent in row-
dyism, insisting that Mr. Washington
is opposed to social equality, is a but-
ler in a white family, and appeared at
the meeting in his waiter’s jacket.
Behind Trotter and Forbes are sev-
eral other men, who have more brains
who by the ir action have lost charac-
ter with the white and colored people
of Boston, not because they are demo-
crats at heart, but because they have
shown a rowdy and vulgar disposition
in their opposition to Mr. Washington, |
which places them among the hood-
lums of the population. |
There were some two thousand peo-
ple in and about the church, drawn
there by a laudable desire to see and
hear Dr. Washington speak. They
were honest and intelligent people,
among them being many of the dis-
tinguished and respected colored peo-
ple of Boston—people proud of their
city, and zealous for its high reputa-
tion for intelligence, sobriety, and for
law and order. Scattered among these
two thousand people were Trotter and
his henchmen, who had contrived to
throw red pepper about the altar be
fore the meeting was called to order,
for the purpose of confusing the
speakers. As soon as the chairman,
Hon. W. H. Lewis, called the meeting
to order, hte disturbance was begun by
one Martin, with hissing by his associ-
ates. When T. Thos. Fortune, of New
York, was announced as the first
speaker, the man Martin became so
boisterous in his talk and action that
the audience was thrown into confu-
sion, and the police had to be called
in to eject him. Just before Mr. For-
tune concluded his remarks, the man
was allowed to return to his seat on
promise of good behavior; but the
interruption continued through the
address of Edward Everett Brown.
When Mr. Washington was intro-
dueed, the five men created so much
cisorder ant confucion that the audi-
ence became panicky and riotous in
temper. The managers of the meet-
ing then decided to have Trotter and
all of lus fellow conspirators ejected
froin the church. A squad of police-
men commanded by a sergeant, was
called in, and in the confusion that
ensued, both inside and outside of the
churen, arrested Trotter and his sis-
ter, and two of his henchmen, and,
with handcuffs on their wrists,
marched thein off to the station house.
One was badiy cut with a razor, and
two policemen were injured, one of
them stabbed in the hands with a hat
pin, it is alleged, of Miss Mand Trot-
ter. When the rioters were removed,
after two hours of confusion, the meet-
ing proceeded in an orderly and recor-
ous manner. At the close of the meet-
ing, Mr. Washington was given an
ovation, and was overwhelmed by the
«rush of people who desired to shake
his hand. avd assure him personally
of their hearty good will and sympa-
thy.
THE COLORED AMERICAN.
vention of the Afro-American Council,
early In July last, amd succeeded by
their lawless acts and words in color-
ing the reports atcut the convention
in such a way as to confuse the
thonghtful people of the country. It
is safe.to say that by their conduct at
Louisville, and at the Boston meeting
of the National Negro Business
League, Trotter and his crew have
done more to injure the cause of the
race in the estimation of the people of
the country than can be overcome by
years of hard, honest effort. It is high
time that the race frown down such
crazy, desperate characters as Trotter,
and place the seal of their disappro-
val upon them in such an unmistaka-
blue way that he who runs may read.
It is worth while to emphasize the
fact that Dr. Washington has during
the past six months spoken a dozen or
more times in white churches in Bos-
ton, but Trotter and his gang made no
disturbance in any of them; they
waited until Dr. Washington was to
speak at a-church of his own race,
crowded by the flower of the race’s
womanhood and manhood of Boston,
to carry out their program, of riot and
confusion. Why did they not carry it
out at some of the white churches in
Boston, where Dr. Washington has
spoken during the past six months?
“Professor” Wm. H. Ferris, the
prime mover in the disorder at Lou-
isville, was not present to assist his
fellow rioters in Boston Thursday
Thursday night, for the reason that
he is completely on his uppers in Lou-
isville. It seems that Trotter and
Forbes, after using Ferris for their
own selfish ends, abandoned him and
left him stranded in Louisville. Fer-
ris is a type of tramp who goes South
to attend meetings, and to instruct
the colored people as to the solution
of their problems. It is most pittiful
to read the urgent letters he is writ-
ing to Boston, entreating his friends
to lend him even the smallest amounts
to enable him to get home.
THE TESTIMONIAL TO MR. J. HEN-

Notwithstanding the threatening as-
pect of the weather, Saturday evening,
August 8th, there was a very large
and complimentary attendance which
found its way to the steamer River
Queen, the occasion being a testimon-
ial to our popular towns-man, Mr. J.
Henry Lewis.
The prominent churches, choirs,
clubs, social and secular organizations
were represented in unusual numbers,
and of course the social set was on
hand to add lustre to the occasion in
honor of one who has contributed so

The movement was inspired by capa-
ble, representative people, who delight
to do honor to one who has justly mer-
ited recognition at their hands before
this. It is learned that quite a hand-
some sum was realized by the affair.
Quite a number of subscribers doubled
their subscription which was -contri-

many years of activity will still be
available for the usefulness of Prof.

I am very anxious to reach the standard set by my predecessor, the lamented Rev. A. P. Hubbard, D. D.; therefore I appeal to you to double your efforts this year as never before. Let us so conduct the affairs of the church and convince mankind everywhere that the A. M. E. Church is a perfect form of government in all its ramifications. I am largely depending upon you in this matter. Don't put off collecting your dollar money—"there is danger in delay."

Washington, D. C., April 15, 1903.
Mr. Chairman: We, your committee appointed to audit accounts of the financial secretary, beg to report that we have carefully compared his report with books, vouchers, checks, stubs, letters, etc., and find his report to be accurate in every detail. We also find that he has the most modern equipments for thorough business and his methods of bookkeeping and of transacting business are very excellent. He has introduced many improvements in business methods among which is a system of regularly paying salaries by the month and thus allowing none to be ahead while others are behind.
We recommend that this report be adopted.
Resolutions unanimously passed at the Bishop's Council June 17, 1903, offered by Bishop Derick: Resolved; That the wise and efficient methods adopted by the Rev. E. W. Lampton, D. D., F. S., for the better management of the financial department have been heartily approved. Resolved; That the establishing of a regular pay day at which time salaries of the various church officers are paid, is a most excellent step and is to be commended as an advanced movement in the right direction. Presiding elders will please send names and addresses of all pastors in your districts.
Secretary Lampton a Napoleon of Finance—He Makes a Strong Appeal for Greater Efforts.
Rev. E. W. Lampton, financial secretary of the A. M. E. Church, has submitted his report of financial operations during the church's fiscal year ended April 30, 1903. It is subjoined. The showing is highly creditable to the connection and flattering to Dr. Lampton. To the Doctor's superb business equipment and his zeal and love for the work must be accredited a large share of the credit which accrues from this magnificent showing. He was elected to his present office January 20, 1902, and began at once the complete systemization of its duties, with the result that he has received the distinct official approval of the Council of Bishops of the Church and the cordial appreciation of all business men with whom he has come into contact for his business methods and genius for order and organization.
Dr. Lampton is not content to sit in his office and merely receive and disburse money. He is an active force, an aggressive factor in the Church's work. In the last three months he has visited the Episcopal districts of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia, South Carolina, Tennessee, Mississippi, Georgia, Kentucky, and Ohio, and each he has not been content to follow the usual line of travel of the bishops, but he has attended as many individual conferences as practicable, stimulating the spiritual work of the connection, strengthening and heartening the impulses of a hard-worked clergy and incidentally looking out for the immediately essential—the financial side of the question.
He has fully justified the wisdom of his selection as financial secretary and has presented to the people of the country further evidence that the A. M. E. Church stands unrivalled in the annals of the race as a spiritual and a thoroughly businesslike organization. It will be observed from the accompanying report that during the financial year last past the connection raised $139,990.33 as dollar money, an increase of $19,263.10 over the receipts for the previous year. Dr. Lampton hopes during the present year to raise $150,000:
Personal appeal from the Financial Secretary, Rev. E. W. Lampton, D. D. 1541 Fourteenth street northwest, Washignot, D. C. To the Bishop, Presiding Elders, Pastors, and Members of All Conferences in the Connection, Greeting In order to give an insight into the wonderful increase of dollar money raised by the great sons and daughters of Allen, of which you are a part, including the $1,030.50 dollar money raised by my own efforts by visiting stations, circuits, and missions, I with pleasure submit the following:

SATURDAY, AUGUST 22, 1903.
We doubt whether throughout this whole country there is one thoughtful Negro who did not feel humiliated and indignant over the disgraceful occurrence in Boston, Massachusetts on the night of Thursday, the 30th ultimo. A gathering of two thousand citizens, white and colored, in the exercise of their constitutional rights, met in the New South End A. M. E. Zion church, to hear the views of Prof. Booker T. Washington, who came upon invitation to stimulate interest in the purposes of the National Negro Business League, of which he is President. Hardly had the exercises begun before a handful of presumably educated young men and sad to say one young women, began to make trouble by interrupting the meeting with a number of irrelevant questions and by great disorder. The officers of the meeting and of the church, with unusual patience repeatedly begged them to desist, but as the disorder grew and threatened the harmony of the gathering, the police had to be called in to eject the offenders and only succeeded in doing so after a number of persons had been seriously injured by the disturbers. Three of them were arrested amonk whom was the editor of the Boston Guardian.
We have often heard about the unbridled passions of the ignorant Southern Negro. White men tell us of them and palliate lynchings with the statement, but this was not down South. This was at the seat of New England culture, at the cradle of liberty. These young men are, or claim to be, the exponents and defenders of higher education. They differ with Prof.
---
THE COLORED AMERICAN.
Washington's educational views, perhaps, but he was not there to discuss education, but business, instead. What a blow, what a shock to the thoughtful colored man to observe how their boasted higher education has failed to teach them self discipline and that greater principle, that however we may differ with a man, he is entitled to be heard.
What an argument in the mouths of the race's enemies against any form of education for us. We note with pleasure, how after the conspirators had been removed the Professor's address was received with every mark of appreciation and approval.
The incident adds fresh interest to the career and achievements of Prof. Washington. How can one fail to admire him? Think of his youth of penury and obscurity and then of his present status and there is nothing fortuitous in his life. He is pre-eminently the man of action, the man who has done things and who is still doing them. Tuskegee is more than a social settlement, it is more than a great industrial foundation.—It is a monument, it is an inspiration for all time. And think of its leader, its creator, the friend of Presidents, the associate of University presidents, the welcome guest of the high, the rich, the noble and the good. And he is not yet fifty years of age.
Here is a greatinstrument designed by him, for the benefit of his race and at its work unremittingly. If there are those who dispute the correctness of his theories or question his methods, let them show us something better or even something different or anything at all that is tangible that exists that is doing the race equal service. We look to the good people of Boston, for the proper, the effective rebuke to these ill balanced young people. The race and the whole country are with the Professor and Tuskegee.
HOPE FOR THE RACE.
It may not assist in the settlement of the grave problem the Negro race is presenting to the country, but it seems proper to again remind our people that the wide-spread antagonism against us is palpably and pre-eminently economic. Our leaders tell us and our sincere white friends point out with satisfaction our steady advance on all industrial lines in spite of the jealousy of foreign importations and the malevolence of the ignorant native element of whites. We are entering every field of honest, manly endeavor and we are competing creditably. The white laborer and mechanic feels our presence as his rival and he is struggling to drive us back and out. But we will not be driven The situation should give us some comfort in these troublous times and teach us patience and forebearance, recognizing that there is a great future in store for our people full of hope of prosperity and substantial acquirement after a stern public sentiment shall have put an end to the present saturnalia of crime and injustice.
THE RICHMOND NEGROES
The attention of the entire country has been attracted to the splendid attitude and conduct of the colored people of Richmond, Va., during the long drawn out strike, still in progress in that city. They have taken no part
whatever in the difficulties, have abstained from all public acts of violence and have expressed only the most passive sympathy with the cause of white labor.
We have always maintained that the colored man was at his best in Richmond, that he was exhibiting more race cohesion, business enterprise, and level heads than are to be found elsewhere, and here is further confirmation of his superiority. This is a white man's fight and he knows it. He simply keeps busy with his own affairs, serving God and absorbing the shekels. Good for him! He is solving his own race problem effectually.
THE COLORED MAN IN BUSINESS.
We are surveying the field of race enterprises and attempt to discover what there is therein to exploit; we confess the view is not reassuring. We are grieved to observe how few of our people are engaged in business ventures of any character. What is the explanation?
As we see it, it is because the Negro has no individual nerve. He has set up for himself too exalted a model. He would like to preside over some mammoth establishment and say unto one man "go!" and to another "come!" but the reflection is absent from his mind that in almost every instance his very model began under most humble conditions and with little or no capital to sustain it. He forgets that the original John Jacob Astor peddled small wares from a pack on his back to the Hudson Bay Indians in exchange for their pelts.
The Negro is quite ready to form a company" at any time for business and thus protect himself in advance from full responsibility should disaster overtake the effort. In every city and every community he may look about him and see soundly established and prosperous business houses owned by individual white men, who have failed twice or thrice during their careers, but who have still undaunted by adverse fate, rushed again and again into the breach and failed and finally by nerve, persistence and worth plucked the flower of success.
We should learn to follow these examples. If we cannot command large capital, let us begin like the ant. study the Jew, and the Irishman, and his progresses. In every community where there is any number of Negroes there is room for the grocery, the shoe, the dry goods, the provision store. Enter the field with even one dollar of stock and keep what the people want. Success is sure to your commercial rivals—why not to you?
Who does not admire the "self made" man of any race? How much more admirable would be the self made business Negro! He would be a veritable beacon light to his race and an inspiration to others.
THE NEGROES OPPORTUNITY
Our faith in an overruling and beneficient Providence forbids us to despair even in our present hopeless state. Other races have suffered contumely and outrage and have come from the crucible strengthened. Yet at present, "The way is dark and we are far from home." Where is the "Kindly Light" that shall "lead us out?" Perhaps we and American Christianity may soon see a modern "Star in the East" typified by the protest of civilized Europe.
We know not whence the light will come, but still is "Our faith triumphant over fears."
This, however, we do know from the lessons of all history that no great moral victory was ever achieved unless all the facttors were moral and worthy. And so we come to perceive in this mighty struggle for the right we have our own duty to perform. The reproaches as to our many faults are only to well founded. It is unnecessary to particularize them. They are open and unblushing. They must be corrected. We must be industrious, we must be acquiative. We must be moral. We must continue to educate our children. Our religion must have less lip service and more practical application to our daily lives. Like the North country farmer, the echo of our horses' hoofs must be "property!" "property!" We must be known and have financial credit in banking institutions. We must be factors in all public movements and in the higher impulses of the communities in which we reside and we must, if possible, be a trifle better in every respect, than our white neighbors. Then we will have furnished to our friends convincing evidence of our fitness for American citizenship and for an equal place in the ranks of higher industry.
This is our opportunity. This is our duty. Do we see it and will we profit by the knowledge? It is threadbare, but appropriate to say:
"Honor and fame from no condition rise,
Act well your part, there all the honor lies."
A newspaper must live though its patrons are absent from home on pleasure bent. Do not forget your subscriptions.
It is observed from the daily press that the ex-slave pension swindlers continue to show activity in some of the Southern States. We repeat our advice to our itinerant ministry, our press and the local leaders of our people where this heresy is still getting a hearing, to denounce it in vigorous terms. There is utterly no possibility of the scheme ever receiving favorable consideration by Congress.
West Point and Annapolis are past closed to our youth, and now the Navy itself is to shut its once open door in our faces.
Anent the complaint of our people that white merchants who receive our patronage will not employ colored clerks, salesmen or bookkeepers, there comes the answer that where they have recognized the justice of the complaint and given a colored man higher employment, there is no appreciable increase in the trade of colored people. We know this is not a sufficient answer, for the demand is for employment of our young people in recognition of that part of our trade already secured by the whites. Yet there is food for thought in the statement. We should show that we appreciate such opening opportunities by additional patronage of said places. This will help the cause along and induce other whites to follow their example.
Do our many river excursionists think of the probable price of coal next winter?
-\ WASHINGTON MUSI-
CALE.
Mr. Maurice Brooks, of the New
England Conservatory, the Re-
cipient. 2
Boston, Mass., by Madame Anna
Lee Slade, of 1212 Linden St.,
‘Tuesday afternoon, from 1 to 4
p. m., during which time instru-
mental and vocal solos, and duetts
were rendered by those present.
\ few of which we will make men-
tion. “The Armourer,”’ was sung
by Mr. E. G. Bell, as he alone
sings it, his rendering of this very
beautiful and classic selection
showing much study on the part
of this polished artist; a piano
solo “The Brooklet,” by Heller,
played by Miss Sarah C. Weston;
this selection, too, fell in the hands
of éne who showed much ability.
Soprano solo, “The Violets,” sung
hy Miss M. W. Smoot; this num-
ber was loudly applauded, and dis-
played a very pleasing voice ; “Ha-
gars Plea to Abraham,” was read |
by Madame Slade, and while I
have heard her in this particular
seiection before, never did she ap-
pear to a better advantage, and
her every word and gesture had
irue art. Her comic selection, pic-
turing a bashful boy, was good.
Phe duett, “Dusky Maid,” sung
by Madame and Master Slade,
was applauded again and = again|
and very highly enjoyed by
all. “Keep your eye on this lad.”
Next we were entertained by Mr.
Maurice J. Brooks, our guest.
We are not claiming any belt for
this young man, for to use his
own words, his study has been
confined to his off hours from his
position, this alone is a demon-
stration *of what can be accom-
plished by those who are willing
to toil and spin; the three selec-
tions were “Air de Ballet, No 2,”
“Chaminade in the Woods,”
“Godier,” and a Scotch air by Mc-
Dowell,” the latter gave Mr.
Brooks an excellent opportunity
to display his fine “touch” and ex-
traordinary memory, as he did
not use the sheet at all. We pre-
dict for this young man a bright
musical future; his ability and
modesty go hand in hand.
Among those present were:
Mr. Joseph H. Douglass, “Our
violinist,” he did not perform,
Miss Hattie R. Bowen, in one of
her spicy little speeches, held out
ihe palm of hope to the Afro-
\merican aspirant, along the line
of Music and the higher arts.
Gathered in the little dining room
around the refreshment board,
were Miss May Fletcher, Miss
Ouetta P. Foster, Miss Lola
fhomas, Miss E. Demorara Wil-
‘ams, Miss Susie Edmonson, Miss
Emma Robinson, Miss Sarah’ C.
Weston, Miss Helen Robinson,
Miss Tocenhine Stevenson. Miss
