The Colored American

The Colored American A-NATIONAL REGRO NEWSPAPER VOL. XI, NO. 2 WASHINGTON, D. C., NOVEMBER 12, 1904. PRICE, FIVE CENTS A REPUBLICAN LAND SLIDE' The Democratic Party Routed as Never Before and the Candidate Buried.—The Republicans Sweep the Country.—The Solid South Broken.—West Virginia and Missouri in Line! T. G. W. 2 DOINGS IN ALBANY. Albany New York Special.—The Rev. J. M. Proctor, pastor of the Israel A. M. E. Zion Church, occupied his pulpit on last Sunday morning, and preached a very able sermon. In the evening the Allen's Christian Endeavor League, which is an auxiliary to the church, of which Miss Bertha Young, is the President, gave very interesting and able services, assisted by a trio of ladies, of the Home Training School of Christian Workers. Miss Conklin led the meeting, Miss Colt played and sang two sacred solos, Miss King spoke very ably of St. Paul, after which a collection was taken and $10.24 was raised. The choir sang several very fine selections which showed remarkable improvement, under the leadership of Prof. Richard Gardner, of Albany. Mrs. Emma Coles is their organist. Rev. J. M. Proctor is doing a great work in the church, notwithstanding the short time he has been pastor of the Israel A. M. E. Zion Church here; his spiritual, and intellectual work, exceeds any in recent years; he seems to have the co-operation of not only the members of the church, but the congregation as well. May God crown all of his efforts with success. The stewardesses should be spoken of. Sister Mrs. M. R. Hoyt is President. These ladies are always ready to work for the interest of the church. The Colored American can be had at No. 18 Congress St., Albany. A PRETTY WEDDING. Miss Lizzie E. Scott was united in marriage to Mr. Joseph S. Jones at 498 K St., Southwest, the home of the bride, Wednesday evening, November 9th. The wedding was a quiet one but a very pretty one. A large number of friends of the bride and groom were in attendance, and the couple were the recipients of many substantial presents from their legion of friends. Rev. Wallace, of the Zion Methodist Church, tied the nuptial knot. They will be at home to their friends Sunday, November 13th, from five until eight p. m. Miss Scott is one of the best known young women of South Washington, and is a product of the public schools of this city. She holds an important position in the office of the Recorder of Deeds, as copyist, and has many friends around the City Hall. Of Mr. Joseph Jones, the groom, too much can not be said. He is one of our best, and well known young men, and was born in South Carolina in the early seventies. He has resided in this city for the past twelve years, where he has hed many positions of honor and trust. He has done some newspaper work, and is a practical hotel man, and now holds the position of checkman at the Senate restaurant. Mr. and Mrs. Louis P. Costley spent a few days last week at the Frederick Fair. This historic old town, made famous by "Barbara Fritchie" is the home of Mr. Costley, who usually makes an annual pilgrimage there. The Buffalo Social Club has announced its second annual reception at the Washington Light Infantry Armory, for Tuesday evening, Nov. 15th. Ambler's Invincible Orchestra has been secured to enliven the occasion with music. THE COLORED AMERICAN.

The Steamer Jane Moseley Will Start Out Under Bright Auspices Next Season—A Smaller Steamer For Short Trips Down the Potomac, For the Accommodation of Small Clubs, Societies, Etc. It will not be overstating the case to say that Mr. Lewis Jefferson, the truck-farmer, and fertilizer contrac- tor, and the manager of the Jane Moseley, is one of the most enterpris- ing business men of the race in the District. Mr. Jefferson is an optimist, and sees the bright and hopeful side of every question. He is one of the few men of the race who has faith in his race, and has always been willing to invest his money in race enterprises when they have come to him in a way that meant business. Our correspond- ent asked him: one day this week what was the outlook for river traffic and for the excursion season next year on the Potomac, and he replied promptly, “as far as the Jane Moseley is con- cerned we propose to do a banner busi- ness next year. Heretofore this boat has not had an equal chance, and has been late in the season of each year before charters could be had, or fa- vorite dates secured for points down the Potomac. The company owning the boat has always been in litigation, and has not had an early start in the season to secure the best dates or char- ters. I have made some financial sac. rifices, and so have a number of the stockholders of the Jane Moseley Boat Company, and it is now in shape and ready for business.” ALMOST A NEW BOAT. “The Jane Moseley has been sent to Baltimore, where it is now docked, un- dergoing a complete overhauling, trom tne hull to the upper deck. Everything that money can pay for has been used to improve the gearing, and speed ca- pacity of the. boat, and it will be painted inside and out. When it re turns to our wharf in February ot March, it wiil look as spick and span as an Easter outfit. “Our books are now open for char ters for the next season, and we have under consideration a number of land ings down the Potomac that will be suitable for small excursion parties who do not desire to go to Glymont. Sommersett Beach or Rocky Point. A Small Swift Steamer. “In fact we are completing arrange. ments, if the business will justify it to secure a small swift steamer with a capacity of 700 or 1,000 to assist the Jane Moseley on its reguiar trips, and to accommodate small excursion par- ties. I am very much gratified at the support given me by some of the mon- ied people of my race in the city, and while the Baltimore people have urged upon me to form a company in that city, I feel justified in retaining the Jane Moseley here if there is business enough with the one hundred thou- sand colored people in Washington. The Jane Moseley will be on the Poto- mac next season, “I can not fail to say a good word for the Baltimore people—they are a fine set of men and gave the Jane Moseley all it could do while up there. Dr. John P. Turner, of the Pension Office, has just returned from a trip to Arkansas. His return was celebra- ted by a deseryed promotion in the Pension Office.

A large number of Negroes of means are always ready to solve the Negro problem with their tongues, but not with their dollars. How many scholarships are being maintained by Negroes of means at our various institutions for worthy young people? Is it not a fact that most of the scholarships now available are given by the benevolent whites? and are not the funds raised by some of the white missionaries societies contributed by white people in moderate circumstances, many of whom forego their luxuries that they may save a pittance for the cause of home missions, while quite a number of the brethren in black, who have been educated on such missionary money are wining and dining themselves galore, and failing to remember that in the depths from which they came, there are thousands of others needing the helping hand? It is a wonderful surprise how easy it is to get up a hundred dollar list for a banquet and on the other hand how hard it is to get up such a list for some good cause all of which exhibits that there is a "rotten spot" somewhere "in Denmark." We feel impelled to urge upon those who can, to give more on the lines above suggested. Let those who are up help those who are down and in this way we shall have a quicker solution of the problem. We can not afford to wait for our white friends to do the work, both from a time standpoint and from a sense of duty. Another matter we would emphasize, is that we extend a glad hand to those with new and worthy ideas—pushing a good thing along. The Negros nat- THE COLORED AMERICAN. ural jealousy prevents much good being done in proper places, but this matter must be brought to the attention of the thinking people to the end that improvement be made. THE STATESBORO LYNCHERS GO FREE. The failure of the Grand Jury, in Chatham County, Ga., to indict those implicated in the burning of two colored men, who had already been convicted and sentenced, is another instance to be cited in proof of the oft made assertion that white men of the South are allowed a free hand with Negro life and limb and always go unwhipped of justice. The Governor of the State ordered a court martial of the military officers engaged in this disgraceful affair, the result of which was their dismissal from the service. In this respect the Governor is to be thanked for doing his duty, but the grand jury composed probably of friends and sympathizers with the mob, could not summon the moral courage to do its duty. This leads us to the conclusion that Negroes in the South will never get justice at the hands of such rabble and the sooner the country takes the matter in hand and manages the Negro's rights from the National Capital the better. If we are to be classed as serfs and unfit to exercise the suffrage which alone in this country is our weapon of defense against oppression, then why not let us be serfs of the National Government rather than the State governments, which will not protect us? If we are the child race, and are to be so considered, why not then children of the Nation, rather than the State? We prefer Uncle Sam as our adopted parent, rather than the slam holding descendants of Bob Toombs and Jeff Davis, who are indifferent to the wrongs being done us in their very presents? These outrages must stop or our people must leave the South! Have you read LIGHT AHEAD FOR THE NEGRO? It is a masterly statement of the Negro's case in equity, combined with romance and fiction. The "general movement in Mississippi to get rid of Negro labor" may be going on, but we don't believe a word of it. A proper way to state it would be, that there is a general movement to get along without Negro labor, which is moving away very fast. When we recall that the Rev. H. C. Buchanan has just been driven out of the State away from his property and home and a printing establishment, doing a large business, and all because his using a horse and buggy and a piano were considered as "bad examples" for the other Negros, we are under the impression that the Mississippi Negro would be glad if some of the whites there could get other kinds of labor besides theirs. Mr. W. L. Powell, a well known newspaper man has accepted a position on The Colored American as assistant business manager. His attention will be devoted entirely to the business department, mainly in increasing the circulation of the paper as well as the advertising patronage.

Robert Harlan the Recipient of Much Social Attention-The Douglass Recital-Notes. CINCINNATI, OHIO, Special.—Never in the history of politics has the city known the lack of enthusiasm that has marked the present election. Aside from the Fairbank's meeting at Music Hall, on October 29, when marching clubs, red fire and a liberal display of pyrotechnics, oratorical and otherwise, indicated the approach of an event of National importance. There has been apparent and general indifference to what seemed an assured Republican victory. In this county (Hamilton) the Republican organization under the efficient management of Mr. Geo. B. Cox, has completely disintegrated the Democracy, making a nomination on the Republican ticket equivalent to an election. THE DOUGLASS RECITAL. At Allen Temple a fashionable audience greeted Mr. Joseph Douglass, the celebrated violin virtuoso. He met every expectation in his rendition of classical compositions and received appreciative applause so gratifying to an artist. SOCIAL EVENTS. Social circles have been in a state of continuous activity induced by the return home of the genial and ever popular Robert J. Harlan who has been received with open arms and made to feel that although a temporary resident of Washington city "There is no place like home." A stag dinner at Dr. Cornish's to which twelve gentlemen were invited was the opening event. The handsome and exquisitely furnished home of Dr. and Mrs. Vaughn was the scene of a brilliant gathering in honor of Mr. Harlan. The parlors, library and billiard room afforded entertainment for the guests until invited to partake of a collation lavishly provided. The next number on the program was a dinner given by Hon. George H. Jackson, invitations being extended to fourteen gentlemen to meet Mr. Harlan. The home of the Jackson's is the largest and most extensively furnished residence among the many owned by our people in this city. The rugs, bric-abrac, pictures and interior decorations being selected with charming taste and a thorough knowledge of artistic excellence. A number of paintings of the famous colored artist Duncanson adorn the walls, while the floors are covered with the costly products of the Orient. A handsome Chase piano is a feature of the reception room, which divides the parlor from the library, while valuable china plaques and articles of virtu please the eye and confuse the senses by their profusion. Mrs. Jackson is the daughter of Robert Gordon, the coal merchant, who left $200,000, (pardon the digression, but residents of Washington are so used to elegant homes, that it is sometimes a revelation to those who travel but a short distance from the Capital to hear that in other cities, there are residences as commodious, as handsomely furnished and as valuable, owned by colored people as any of which the Capital can boast.) Let us return to the dinner. Seated around the mahogany, nearly every profession was represented—lawyers, doctors, artists, musicians THE SON OF EX- U.S. MINISTER TO ENGLAND Hon. Lewis E. Johnson Hon. Louis E. Johnson is the son of the late Reverdy Johnson who was United States Senator from Maryland, also Attorney General under President Johnson, and United States Minister to England, and who was regarded as the greatest constitutional lawyer that ever lived. In a recent letter from 1006 F St., N. W., Washington, D.C., Mr. Johnson says: "No one should longer suffer from catarrh when Peruna is accessible. To my knowledge it has caused relief to so many of my friends and acquaintances, that it is humanity to commend its use to all persons suffering with this distressing disorder of the human system."---Louis E. Johnson. Catarrh Poisons. Catarrh is capable of changing all the life-giving secretions of the body into scalding fluids, which destroy and inflame every part they come in contact with. Applications to the places affected by catarrh can do little good save to soothe or quiet disagreeable symptoms. Hence it is that gargles, sprays, atomizers and inhalants only serve as tem- and men with extensive business interests. Sufficient to say that the dinner was all the caterers art could provide, or the most particular epicure desire. The following were present: Messrs. A. S. Thomas, John Taylor, Chas. W. Bell, Fountain Lewis, Fréd. Dall, Rob't Troy, Taylor Lightfoot, Dr. Vaughn, Dr. Cornish, Lewis D. Easton, Philip Dabney, Joseph Douglass, Will Anderson, Mr. Jackson, the host, and the honored guest, Mr. Hanlan. Monday evening, November 7th, Mrs. Edith Fossett Miller issued invitations to the ladies of the "Athletic Circle" and their husbands to meet Mr. Harlan, at a six o'clock dinner. A lavish display of cut glass, silver ware, exquisite linen and other table embellishments formed a pleasing prelude to a dinner served in courses and thoroughly enjoyed. The company was composed of Mr. and Mrs. Easton, Mr. and Mrs. Doll, Mr. and Mrs. Bell, Mr. and Mrs. Ross, Mr. and Mrs. There is but one remedy that has the desired effect, and that remedy is Peruna. This remedy strikes at once to the roots of catarrh by restoring to the capillary vessels their healthy elasticity. Peruna is not a temporary palliative, but a radical cure.

Other minor entertainments were given in honor of Mr. Harlan, who was the house guest of Mr. and Mrs. Fred. Doll, during his visit. He leaves Tuesday after a most successful political and social campaign, his departure for Washington being generally regretted by his numerous friends who would give him a gearty welcome should he return to his native city as a permanent resident. SUBSCRIBER. Mr. M. J. Whelan, a successful business man of South Washington, located at Third and C Streets, S. W., is one of the new subscribers to The Colored American. Mr. Whelan has a large colored trade which he appreciates highly.

H. West, a popular Buckeye, who is well and favorably known in this city, has just returned from his native heath, Xenia, Ohio, where he went to cast his vote, and to use his influence in swelling Ohio’s majority for Roosevelt and Fairbanks. Xenia is the principle town in Green Coun- ty, O., and is known as the city of the Tawawa Springs. These health giving waters made it a resort for the aborig- inees in the colonial days of American history. Mr. West is one of the home boys, and is popular with the home folks. He received many evidences of the high esteem in which he is held by his neighbors during his brief stay, and he regrets that he can not enumerate the many social functions tendered him in his honor. The Twentieth Century Club, a crack social club of Xenia, made it very pleasant for him on the evening of November 17th, by giving an en- tertainment in his honor. The ar- rangements were in the hands of two members of the club: Mrs. Marie Wil- liams and Mrs. Victoria Smith. They managed the entertainment to the sat- isfaction of all. The club is composed of the elite of Xenia’s young social set, whose special object is to estab- lish a kindergarten school. Miss Selena C. Gaines was chosen and prepared for the work, because of her special fitness, and being promi- nent in the social circles of Xenia as well as an alumnus of the high school. She is a charming young lady, and a magnificent worker. The best people THE COLORED AMERICAN. Zz in the social life of Xenia are repre- sented in this club. The officers and members are as follows : Miss Selena C. Gaines, President; Miss Osee Towles, Vice-Pres.; Miss Mamie Gaines, Secretary; Miss M. P. Cruisman, Cor. Sec’y; Mrs. Lydia Scott, Treasurer.

THE COLORED AMERICAN, The wedding bells are chiming and many invitations are already out for coming nuptials this fall and winter. AFTER ELECTION ECHOES. Nearly everybody who is anybody has resoived after the election to do this, that, and the other thing. The colored people as a race are great on making resolutions, but, greater on breaking them. Since the ordeal of the election has passed, The Colored American would like to know a few things. When will the -leading colored women of charitable pretensions get together and interest themselves in the girl’s reform school, exclusively for “colored” girls? When will seme of our legal lights cease hippodromeing by denying their race? Why colored people do not cease knocking each other, and gei together for some common purpose? When will another “Jim Crow” car line be admitted into the nation’s capital? When the Palais Royal began to dis- criminate against colored teachers in their restaurant department, when said teachers are patrons of this great store? How many candidates will show up for every office now held by colored men? When will the colored people learn how to spend their money with the merchants who seek their trade and who are willing to recognize and con- tribute to colored enterprises? When will the rings in the colored schools be broken up? How man of our leading business men will go broke on the races? How few are the men you meet whose personal efforts secured the election of Roosevelt and Fairbanks’ When will the gush writers in and out of Washington city, who have records here, learn how to hold thei tongues? ORANGE BLOSSOMS. Invitations are out announcing the coming nuptials of Mr. H. Eugene Wilson, of this city, and Miss Sarah Myrtle Roger, of North Carolina. The wedding will take place Thursday eve- ning, November 24th, at the Baptist church at Readville, North Carolina, and the reception will be held in this city, Wednesday, November 30, from 8 to 10, at 1311 Third Street, N.
