Every number on the program was highly pleasing, but special mention was made of the lonely duet by Mrs. Flippin and Mrs. J. E. Smith. Also, Mrs. Smith's beautiful solo, "Robert, idol of My Heart," received a hearty applause. Everybody is acquainted with the sweet voice of Miss Thistle, and also that of Mr. Nolle Smith. Their selections were received in the usua, pleasant way. The excellent readings by Mrs. Banks, Mrs. Tyrel, and Mrs. Cole were appreciated and highly enjoyed. The program was begun promptly at 9 and two hours of real life were enjoyed. Mrs. Leonard, wife of Sergeant Leonard, is suffering from an attack of la grippie. Little Jack Gilmore Leonard, who has had a cold for some time, is able to be out now. Thursday eevning, May 16, the Searchlight club gave a chicken super that was a success. The club is now rehearsing a drama which it has planned to exhibit in the near future. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Redd gave a delicious dinner party last Sunday. Covers were laid for eight. They had as their guest Mr. and Mrs. M. H. Hamler, Mr. and Mrs. Ashford, Sergeant and Mrs. Bell, Mrs. Curtis Ward and little daughter, Mary. Mrs. Geo. Hopkins has been indisposed for about ten days. Mr. C. C. Boyd, Mr. Chatman, and Mr. Carter have just returned from a successful fishing trip up Crow Creek. Saturday night, Private Hacket brutally assaulted Miss Letitia Anderson and cut her throat almost from ear to ear. As soon as an ambulance could be had, she was taken to St. John's Hospital, where the doctor sewed her wound, taking 25 stitches in it. Having been dismissed from the hospital, she returned to her home. On her way back, Private Hacket, who had not yet been arrested, attempted to make another assault upon her. Seeing that he was determined to take her life, she had him arrested and turned over to the county authorities. The Calvary Baptist church, recently, organized by Rev. C. H. Mendenhall of Buxton, Iowa, is having regular service every Sunday morning. Preaching at 11 a. m. and at 7:30 p. Prayer meeting every Wednesday evening at 7:30. Rev. C. Taylor of troop E. Ninth Cavalry, acting pastor in the absence of the regular minister. FORT RUSSELL, WYO. Doings of the "Gleeful F." The troop has a number of amuse- ment clubs. The most reputable among them is the F. F. A. club. Its president is Mr. Knighten; vice president, King; secretary, Fields; treasurer, Johnston; master of ceremonies, Burton; oldest soldiers and associate members, Gilbert, Reed, Wilson and Weatherly. Trumpter Ballenger is the troop's horse trainer and famous Roman race rider. The trumpter received some severe injuries a few months ago while riding a race. It was thought for a time that his wounds would be fatal, but somehow, by help of the mighty Hand, he pulled through. His present trained horse, Baby, is well educated and does some very fancy tricks. The troop has also a good quartette which will challenge any similar outfit in the regiment, if any coin is in it. Besides this the organization has a few comedians in it. Its famous uc... and wing dancer, Grundy, bars no one. Corporal Colbert is the troop's high roller, while Reed is its bouncer. The troop's pool team challenges all comers, not even barring the strong regimental team. The names of the members of the former are as follows: Corporals Carr, King, Scott and Gilbert. One may easily guess what sort of base ba. team the outfit has from being aware of the fact that it sent out challenges for two hours last Sunday without receiving a single answer. the names of those who compose this aggregation are: Polk, left field; Tinsley and Dunlap, pitchers; Livous, short stop; Carr, right field; Franklin, third base; Cambell and Carter, Catchers; Barnett, center field; Colbert, first base; Johnston, second base; Lieutenant Hathaway, manager; Phillips, score keeper. The troop claims the best dining room orderly in the regiment. Sergeant Cagle is its crack pistol shot. The men of the outfit say that Cook fields makes his famous dish "jinlin" a little too often. Corporal Colbert has the champion bull dog fighter. He says he will put his dog up against any that weighs less than 50 pounds. Private Green claims to be the champion kitchen police in the regiment and challenges all comers at the work. Corporal Carr, who has been on a month's furlough in Cheyenne, has returned. Since his return to the troop he has not taken such active interest in the city as before. What is the matter down there, Corp.? First Sergeant Wallace, Shank Wilson and Cook Adams are on a fishing trip up Crow Creek. The regimental pool team has challenged Troop B for a series of games. The names of members of the former are the following: Poindexter, Troop G; Montgomery, Troop G; Peoples, Troop A, and King, Troop F. On Thursday evening, May 16, Chaplain Prioleau celebrated his 56th birthday. He entertained friends and members of his choir with an enjoyable party.

Other members of the choir present were Sergeant and Mrs. Vaughn, Sergeant and Mrs. Burnside, and Mrs. Brown.

Atlanta, Ga.-Making a plea for the adequate financial assistance for the ministers who have worn themselves out in the service of the African Methodist Episcopal church, and for their widows and orphans, the Rev. Dr. Carlton M. Tanner, pastor of Big Bethel African Methodist Episcopal church, this city, has addressed a circular letter to prominent ministers of the denomination in all parts of the country advocating the creation of a special department which shall look after such matters. He points out that 36 per cent of the amount raised in "dollar money" is retained by the various annual conferences for the support of superannuated ministers, widows and orphans; that one-fourth of the Easter day money, 60 per cent of annual missionary collections apart from Easter day, 60 per cent of the money raised by the parent Women's Mite Missionary society, 50 per cent of the money raised by the Women's Home and Foreign M. B. REV. DR. GARLTON M. TANNER. Missionary society, the pastor's annual dues to the missionary society and the collections from various Sunday school missionary societies are available, according to the law of the church, for the support of home missionaries and superannuates, in which widows and orphans share. He claims that the church, according to the law, does better proportionately for the superannuates and their dependents than other denominations, but that the present system of distribution does not bring satisfactory results. He says that the salary of the official of the proposed department could be paid by the financial department of the denomination, as most of the salaries of the general officers are. Dr. Tanner contends that the creation of such a department would attract a very desirable class of ministers—men who would not be alarmed at the prospect of being cast off in their old days and who would thereby assist in building up a bigger and more influential church. If the general conference of the denomination should not like to create a special department Dr. Tanner recomends as a substitute that such of the more than fifty annual conferences in this country create a special preachers' aid committee for the aforesaid purpose. Dr. Tanner is a son of Bishop Tanner. He was educated in the Institute For Colored Youth, Philadelphia, and the Episcopal Divinity school, the same city. He served eight years as a missionary in South Africa. As pastor of Big Bethel church, which has over 3,500 members, he is doing a praiseworthy work in this city. 1 FINANCIAL BOARD MEETS. Reports by Drs. Beckett and Hurst Show Prosperous Year. Kansas City, Mo.—Reports submitted at the annual meeting of the financial board of the African Methodist Episcopal church on Friday, May 3, showed that $207,224.98 was raised during the fiscal year ended April 1, which is an increase of $5,000 in the "dollar money" collections for that year. Dr. John Hurst, who has just com- pleted his fourth year as financial secre- tary of the denomination, explained in detail the workings of the financial department. The "dollar money" collections for the previous three years are as follows: 1908-9, $182,397.11; 1909-10, $197, 540.28; 1910-11, $202,663.17, a total of $750,825.17 for the quadrenium. The amounts raised in each Episcopal district during the past year is as follows: First, $14,339.14; second, $16,374.60; third, $6,705.46; fourth, $15,432.35; sixth, $30,588.45; seventh, $20,074.50; eighth, $16,228.70; ninth, $15,205.55; tenth, $11,410.35; eleventh, $14,083.55; twelfth, $25,367.30; thirteenth (West Africa), $364; fourteenth (South Africa), $4,650. Of the total amount raised during the quadrennium 36 per cent, $284,697.18, was retained by the various annual conferences for the support of superannuated ministers, widows and orphans; 8 per cent, $63,266.04, used in aiding the educational work of the denomination and the remainder retained in the general treasury of the denomination for the purpose of paying the M. REV. DR. W. W. BECKETT. salaries of the bishops, general officers and for other general denominational needs. The great work that the church is doing for home and foreign missions was emphasized by the Rev. Dr. W. W. Beckett, secretary of missions, who reported that the denomination had raised $131,874.10 for missions during the past four years through the parent missionary society, the Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary society, the Woman's Mite Missionary society, and $5,000 was also raised by Bishop W. H. Heard. Besides looking after ministers with poor charges in this country, the work of the denomination in West and South Africa, the West Indies and Central and South America is also aided. Denver News Especially of the Churches NOTES OF THE ZION BAPTIST CHURCH. A splendid spirit marked the services all day at Zion last Sunday. The pastor preached from the subject, "The Fulfillment of the Perfect Life." Text: Matt. 6:33. The evening subject dealt with the "Gospel of Christ." That the hearers were edified was evidenced by the attention and comment. The Sunday school officers and teachers are beginning to plan for this summer's picnic. Zion's picnics have become a permanent institution and the only information the people want is the date. Sometime in the month of July we will have the outing, the day will be announced later. The Experience Party to B. given by the sunday school and the B. Y. P. U. will take place at the church next week, on the evening of Decoration Day. Everybody will be there. This is the most unique and unusual church entertainment ever given in Denver. Each participant is expected to earn $1.00 or more in some unusual manner and the one relating the most amusing experience will be given a prize. A prize will also be given to the person bringing in the most money. Next Wednesday the W. C.T. U. will hold an all day prayer service at Zion. Aree helpful sessions will be held and instructive programs rendered at each. No one interested in the work of the Kingdom should miss these meetings. The Great Western Association will convene with Zion on the 18th of June at 7:30 p. m. and continue until Friday evening. This is the annual meeting of the Baptists of Colorado and the most important event for the year. The $1.00 offering for house cleaning will continue this Sunday. Some as yet have not been heard from. We look for your next Sunday, brother. Sister Julia Pointer was buried last Wednesday. SCOTT M. E. CHURCH NOTES. Twenty-Sixth and Clarkson.

The fair will commence Wednesday and continue three days. The dinner will be better than ever. The prayer service will be held on Tuesday evening. The various booths will be decorated after this service. Sunday evening the pastor will preach on the subject, "Is the Young Man Safe?" The unique subject, "Love, Courtship and Marriage attracted a large audience last Sunday evening. The other special feature was the singing of the choir. Mr. Harry Polk is on the sick list, but is improving at this writing. Do not forget the drama to be rendered by the choir June 11. These entertainments rendered by the young people are highly interesting. The first quarterly conference is rapidly advancing. We urge all officers to be ready with their reports. The new district superintendent will presch the communion sermon in the afternoon so as to give the members and friends of our sister churches an opportunity of hearing him without any service from their church. The Rev. Smith is a very eloquent preacher. Miss Bulah Harper of Atlanta Georgia deposited her membership in Scott's last Sunday morning. The program to be rendered by the little Junlors Wednesday evening, promises to be something out of the usual. You should hear them. Aunt Jerusha's Quilting party will be repaeted the second night.

Reynolds about three years ago, with a membership of twelve and not a penny in the treasury or a comfortable chair to sit on. The membership has increased to 125, and they have bought two lots for $1,800. The plans are drawn for a church house and parsonage to cost between $20,000 and $25,000.

Signs of Real Progress Noted In Attitude of the People Toward Organizations For Civic Betterment—Work of a Noble Woman and How It Was Accomplished. BY GEORGE FRANCIS KING. Sedalia, N. C. In this particular section of North Carolina there is an encouraging sign of the Afro-Americans taking advantage of the economic opportunities afforded them. The energetic youth of the race are realizing the fact that they must make good use of their time. Therefore they are becoming more content with rural life in order to become highly efficient factors in the realm of industry. Our people are buying excellent farms and building comfortable homes just as other thrifty Americans are doing. The moral tone of the community among Afro-Americans is high, and there is a spirit pervading each home that is uplifting. The people have learned the value of a dollar, and they make safe investments, and some have snug bank accounts. That selfish spirit too often manifested by some who are in the position to contribute much to the material progress of the race do not find an abiding place here. There is a peculiar interest manifested by them in educational, civic and religious activities, and they always endeavor to conserve the best interest of such needed organizations. The farmers are prosperous and have modern implements, with plenty of live stock. They are training their children to become energetic and useful. "It was in a car between Salem and Boston, while a student in the State Normal school, that God directed a woman filled with the missionary spirit to me to encourage the already burning desire to return to the land of my birth and help my people. I cannot tell in detail, but step by step I was led directly to do what I had dreamed of since childhood. I couldn't get away from the idea that God wanted me for this kind of work," said Mrs. Charlotte E. Hawkins-Brown, the little woman who came to this community some years ago and established the Palmer Memorial institute at this place, which has brought to pass the remarkable progress of the race in this section of the Old North State. When she landed here she had to walk four miles alone through thick woodland. Here she worked for two years with the sheer of the Congregational church and administered to the many needs of our people in this community. The condition of the people can be appreciated by this statement made by Mrs. Brown: "Many of the children came to school during the winter poorly clothed, oftimes chilled with the cold." After the second year of the school work the pastor became discouraged and gave up the work. She remained, as she had worked persistently, often without receiving compensation. The strong character of the woman is found in the following statement by Mrs. Brown: "The pastor gave fifteen acres of land, as he had collected help for the work. This he did because of the year's labor I had given to help him establish the school. With money raised the previous summer I was enabled to repair and fix up a rude old shanty, in which I had another teacher, whom I had asked to join me, and which a few girls could call home. We continued to conduct school in the church. The news was soon spread that we had an industrial school for boys and girls. Many were the applications that came to us. We were unprepared to take care of many, but we put the boys in the old house we had repaired. The people of the community became enthused at the idea of having an institute, or college, as they called it, in their midst. I began to tell them how they could help. Those who didn't have money brought meal, peas, corn, molasses, potatoes, to help board the teachers. During the year there were many times we were without a dollar. All of us oftimes ate for our meals molasses and bread three times daily, but we felt that God was leading, "follow we must." This little woman, hardly tipping the scales at a hundred pounds, today has reared up an institution with over 300 acres of farm land, valued at over $3,000; four wooden buildings—boys' and girls' dormitories, domestic science cottage, mechanical shop—valued at $15,000; also a new teachers' home. Among other things to this plant will be found a cane mill, three fine mules, horses, wagons, farming implements and fine stock. Nearly all of the food for the school is produced on the farm, including the wheat. Seven instructors from some of the leading schools are employed, and the high school course is thorough and prepares one for college and the professions. The institution has upon its various boards prominent white people of this state and front the north. Mrs. Brown was educated in Boston, and as the principal of this wonderful work she has proved that the Afro-American woman can bring to pass wonderful things for the good of society. Greek and Hebrew Scholars Sung Their Virtues. CALLED BLAMELESS RACE. Book by the Late Edward Wilmot Blyden Gives Many Interesting Facts About the Achievements of the Ancestors of the Colored Race In the United States. In his book entitled "Islam Christianity and the Negro Race" the late Dr. Edward Wilmot Blyden delved deeply into both sacred and profane history, showing that Africans were not unknown to the writers of the Bible. Their peculiarities of complexion and hair were as well known to the ancient Greeks and Hebrews as they are to the American people today. And when they spoke of the Ethiopians they meant the ancestors of the people of black skin who for 250 years have been known as laborers on the plantations of the south. It is to these people and to their country that the psalmist refers when he says. "Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hand unto God." Of the hospitality and kindness of Africans he writes: "And this peculiarity of Africans is not a thing known only in modern times. The ancients recognized these qualities and loved to descant upon them. They seemed to regard the fear and love of God as the peculiar gifts of the darker races. In the version of the Chaldean Genesis as given by George Smith the following passage occurs: "The word of the Lord will never fall in the mouth of the dark races whom he has made." Homer and Herodotus have written immortal eulogies of the race. Homer speaks of them as "the blameless Ethiopians" and tells us that it was the Ethiopians alone among mortals whom the gods selected as people fit to be lifted to the social level of the Olympian divinities. "Every year," the poet says, "the whole celestial circle left the summits of Olympus and betook themselves for their holidays to Ethiopia, where in the enjoyment of Ethiopian hospitality they sojourned twelve days. Lucian represents a skeptic, a freethinker, of his day, as saying in his irreverence toward the gods that on certain occasions they do not hear the prayers of mortals in Europe, because they are away across the ocean, perhaps among the Ethiopians, with whom they dine frequently, on their own invitation." It shows the estimate in which the ancients held the Africans, that they selected them as the only fit associates for their gods. The country itself has been called the cradle of civilization, and so it is. The germs of all the sciences and of the two great religions now professed by the most enlightened races were fostered in Africa. Science, in its latest wonders, has nothing to show equal to some of the wonderful things even now to be seen in Africa. On African soil stands that marvelous architectural pile, the great pyramid, which has been the admiration and despair of the world for a hundred generations. Scientific men of the present day, mathematicians, astronomers and divines, regard it as a sort of key to the universe—a symbol of the profoundest truths of science, of religion and of all the past and future history of man. Business Journal to Publish Daily. The Thomas Publishing company of New Orleans, publisher of the Business Journal, announces that arrangements are being made to publish the Journal daily instead of weekly, as heretofore. Success to Messrs. Thomas and Geddes. The race needs a daily paper, and if New Orleans can produce it the venture should receive substantial support. ESCAPES AN AWFUL FATE. A thousand tongues could not express the gratitude of Mrs. J. E. Cox, of Joliet, Ill., for her wonderful deliverance from an awful fate. "Typhoid pneumonia had left me with a dreadful cough," she writes. "Sometimes I had such awful coughing spells I thought I would die. I could get no help from doctor's treatment or other medicines till I used Dr. King's New Discovery. But I owe my life to this wonderful remedy, for I scarcely cough at all now." Quick and safe, it's the most reliable of all throat and lung medicines. Every Estate of Ellen Johnson, deceased.

Brownsville Affair Worse Than Taft's Color Line Policy, It Believes. We are emphasizing Brownsville because Brownsville was a lynching by a president, says the Boston Guardian. The principle was to punish all because no guilty Negro could be found. Lynching is the worst evil of all for us. Brownsville was much worse than even the color line preachments of President Taft, for which we do not forgive him. Brownsville was an act of execution which deprived colored men of the right to be tried before being punished. Roosevelt's recall doctrine is the virtual lynching of our courts. Furthermore, Roosevelt is more dangerous than Taft because more popular and stronger. He is so popular that he can take away our rights and get off with it. We have less chance of redress under him. He scares off friends and seeks to destroy those who oppose him for us. Remember the fate of Foraker. Baptist Convention May Change Date. The New England Baptist missionary convention will not hold its annual meeting with the Monumental Baptist church in Philadelphia, as previously announced. Due notice of the time and place of meeting will be announced later. This change is due to the fact that the Rev. Alexander Gordon has resigned from the pastorate of the Monumental church, where the convention was to be held in June.

The committee of management of the Lexington avenue branch of the Young Women's Christian association in Brooklyn held a special meeting recently for the purpose of considering the wisdom of adding a gymnasium to the physical work of the association. Those who are members are asking for such a feature, and there are scores of young women who have expressed their intention of joining as soon as the branch affords such opportunities for physical culture. Mrs. A. W. Hunton, the well known clubwoman and worker for uplift among young women, presided. Among the speakers were Dr. Eliza Mosher, Mrs. Newell Dwight Hills, wife of the noted pastor of Plymouth church, and Dr. V. Morton-Jones. A full discussion of the subject was had and the general opinion reached that the gymnasium at the present time would not only benefit the present membership, but would bring the work up to a high standard of efficiency. Dr. Mosher's subject was "The Value of Gymnasium Work For Women." She said in part: "As far back as 1855 or 1860 Dr. Lewis of Boston, looking ahead of his time, favored physical culture for women, but the adoption of bloomers, for which the world was not ready, set the work back." The heads under which she spoke as being benefited by gymnastic exercises were nutrition, waste, shape and symmetry of the body, self expression, intellect quickened through action, pleasure and recreation and benefits to motherhood. Among other things she said: "Gymnastic exercise improves nutrition, destroys the old tissues and gives new life to the body. It helps to carry off the waste, and with it are carried many diseases and alliments common to the human family. It also increases muscle, thereby giving strength to the body. It quickens thought into action and that in turn gives life and energy to the mind." Dr. V. Morton-Jones in her brief ad dress in part said: "After a soldier marches all day, despite the fact that he is tired at night, he will go out to some entertainment and dance all of the evening, thus proving that his system calls for a change. It is just so with girls. They need a variation of recreation. They will work all day and seek some kind of enjoyment in the evening. This building is very much in need of a gymnasium. The house is completely taken up, but the girls need a diversion. The right kind of dancing is all right. We cannot be too averse in our criticism of this feature of enjoyment until we can substitute something better for it." Biennial Convention of Clubwomen. The executive committee of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs in co-operation with the president, Miss Elizabeth C. Carter of New Bedford, Mass., has begun active preparation for the next biennial convention, which will be held in Hampton, Va., in August. CLASSIFIED ADVERTISEMENT ARCHITECT. J. W.

Court Holds No One Responsible For Murder of Zachariah Walker. The district attorney of Chester county, Pa., has thrown up his hands in despair, declaring it impossible to get a conviction in any of the cases growing out of the burning of Zack Walker at Coatesville, and has caused the last one of the several indictments to be taken from the list. And Pennsylvania rightfully takes her place in the line of mob and lynch law, says the Pittsburgh Courier. When it is remembered that simultaneously with this action in Chester county a southern grand jury returned indictments against white men for a southern lynching, the shame and disgrace of Pennsylvania stand out all the more prominently. There is no escaping the shame. The whole state must shoulder the curse. Until a change of venue was demanded and refused the public eye was directed to Chester county only, but the refusal of a petition to change the venue, together with the failure of a Chester county jury to convict a single participant, spreads the infamy throughout the state. The rabble of Coatesville have sown the seed. We have but to await the harvest. Meanwhile let it not be forgotten that the blood of Zack Walker will be required at the hands of white men. ALUMNI WORK AT HOWARD SHOWS SPLENDID RESULTS Effort to Raise Funds For Gymnasium Building Succeeds. The Alumni association of Howard university, in Washington, recently reached high water mark in its campaign for the gymnasium fund, which has been going on for some time in all sections of the country where graduates of the school are found. The general officers of the central gymnasium committee are Professor Kelly Miller, chairman; Mr. Robert A. Pelham, secretary-treasurer, and Mr. Shelby J. Davidson, financial agent. Since the first of the year the committee has been conducting a systematic correspondence with members of the Alumni association throughout the country, appealing to them as to the necessity for the building of the gymnasium, for which the trustees of the university have promised a donation of $15,000 on the condition that the alumni raise $19,000, the building to be known as the alumni building. The responses from the alumni and friends have been encouraging, and at the recent rally Mr. Shelby J. Davidson, financial agent, reported that since the inauguration of the campaign the amount of pledges has been raised from about $3,000 at that time to more than $4,900. Of the cash in hand at the outset he reports that an addition of $500 has been made, making the total collections about $1,500. The effort to personally reach as many of the alumni is being tried with much success. The alumni of Philadelphia has pledged $1,000 toward the gymnasium fund. Preparations are under way in Baltimore for a meeting of the local alumni, and it is believed that with this strong and interested contingent the outcome will be favorable to the gymnasium proposition. With the graduates of the university numbering more than 3,000, many, if not all of them, deeply indebted to Howard university for what they have accomplished in life, there seems no reason why the gymnasium as a tangible evidence of the alumni interest should not prove a success. Surely no one who has been through Howard university in its earlier days will hesitate not only to contribute his quota, but will go out of his way to speak a word of encouragement for the project. June 5 has been designated as commencement day as well as alumni day. Plans are on foot for one of the greatest commencements and alumni gatherings in the history of the university. Every alumnus is invited to come back. Each class which has gone from the university is expected to be represented. There will be a grand class march, and Howard university, with a united alumni at its back, will take its place among the colleges of the country. NOTHING DOWN.

It will be our policy to favor no class nor to discriminate against any class, but to consider the people and the city as a whole. There can be no advance that is not shared in by all, and when I speak of advancement I mean along lines of happiness and morals, as well as material prosperity. "Ours is a great city, well worthy of the most exalted love and loyalty. That we have been held back by the schemes of the selfish and venal is our misfortune, not our fault. With energies released and hobbies removed, the great spirit of a great people will be permitted to achieve its dream of growth and beauty."—Henry J. Arnold, Rocky Mountain News, For once we can record the sincerity of our people to assist in bringing about good government. Never in the history of Colorado's elections have so many Negroes left the two old parties to vote for their just recognition and freedom from bossism. The Citizens' party has swept out the gangsters, bosses, and those who have enjoyed special privileges, and all other privileges, at the expense of the Negro taxpayers and the decent people. Colored people are to be commended for their wise movement to remove the obstacles that have retarded their progress along social and business lines. The vultures who have held control over your social and business relations for years have cost Colorado everlasting disgrace. To have it understood throughout the United States that no respectable Negro man or woman could open and run a legitimate business without the O. K. of some boss Negro, who operates a business on special privilege gained by making it appear to the white people that he carried the Negroes' vote in his vest pocket. The Negro voters have not only wiped out that influence, but have said by your votes on last Tuesday that you are tired of those old time, would-be leaders, whom you have followed for, lo, these many years, to their own personal benefit, while you and your opportunities have been growing less important. You have loudly said to them, now stand aside and let intelligence and youth pass, and if necessary, you and your ilk sink to the very bottom so far as the future is concerned. That their boss leadership has kept us in ignorance; that they have done nothing for the masses in all the years they were in control that is worthy of mention; that the bosses have defiled our homes and our children, and helped to keep up the sentiment that we are the inferior class of citizens and have no rights or privileges that an administration is bound to respect. You have also said by your votes that you are not yet through cleaning house, since you have taken your political privileges in your own hands and have cast your votes for a more just administration, that you will see to it by committees and organizations that the questionable evils surrounding your homes and opportunities are removed, at once. I have heard numerous comments on the attitude of the Negro voters during this campaign and at the polls, and I am sure that the Citizens' party will show their appreciation of your support by creditable employment and not special privileges, and they will assist to help you to lift the moral standard of your citizens. It will be up to the better element to go forward and present your claims for advancement. The time to act is now; don't wait until it is too late so that there can be any excuse. You need many advantages to attain a full point of an active citizen; first of all you need better police protection to safeguard your home and children and to assist you to regulate society. There is another important election ahead and what you fail to attain from the results of this spring election you will have an opportunity to reinforce your request. In this campaign the Republicans and Democrats were both caught in the same trap; both claimed your vote until the very last and did not think it necessary to make any concessions to the Negro taxpayers and intelligent voters. All their attention was given to the special privilege class whom they had always heretofore relied upon to bring in your vote. The fight this time was not only to free the people from administration bossism, but from Negro bossism as well, and you have won, and you have won without a leader or a Negro press. The only Negro paper that had the courage to start your fight for freedom lost the greatest opportunity of its existence to prove its loyalty to the race. They sold out for a "mess of pottage." Shame on such weak-kneed, would-be Negro leaders and advocates of the people's interest. "Let the people rule." Go forward. O. T. JACKSON.

It is most significant of the large part which colored voters play in the Republican party that the only precinct which that party carried in the recent election was the one over which there was a colored committeean and colored committeewoman. It is the precinct at Five Points, No. 1 in Ward 5. Colored persons took a large part in the city election. Sixty workers were used by Republicans under direction of the colored headquarters. A number of others were hired in the precincts. The Democrats employed a large number as special officers and workers, and many were volunteer workers for the citizens. The election was marked by the greatest participation we know of on behalf of the contesting parties. The Queen City Chorus appeared Thursday night at Central church giving its usual rendition of classical chorus work. A. A. Waller has been indisposed The Self-improvement club gave a unique entertainment Thursday night at Eureka hall. The club was all dressed in American colors and their paper dresses were the occasion of one of the contests. Mrs. Lizzie DeNeal's was considered the best costume with Mrs. Abernathy's second. The program was short, consisting of the appearance of Thelma Hudson gowned as the pink lady, and a Spanish dance done by her and ner little sister, the latter playing the Spanish Cavalier. Being brought up amid the real Spanish dancers of Mexico, they made a big hit. Then the dancing was resumed with Webster's orchestra playing. The crowd was good and all had an enjoyable time.

COLLEGE MEN ACTIVE IN CITY OF BROTHERLY LOVE Iota Sigma Club In Musical Comedy Bethel Church Honors Pastor. Philadelphia.—The Iota Sigma (Intercollegiate) club of this city recently presented the Mask and Wig club in "The Junior," a typical college play in three musical and comical acts, at St. Peter Claver's auditorium. The Intercollegiate was organized a little more than a year ago for the purpose of getting the colored students together, believing that such association would benefit each one and that student life would have more effect upon the community. The club numbers twenty-five members and represents the following colleges—namely, University of Pennsylvania, Temple university, Medico-Chirurgical college, Philadelphia Dental college and the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy. Among the activities of the club are to be found a basketball team, a track team, a baseball team, a tennis team and a glee club. Miss Willianette Ferguson, soloist of St. Phillips Episcopal church, Richmond, Va., a singer of much promise, is on an extended visit to friends in this city. Since being here she has been in much demand and has won her way into the hearts of the Philadelphia Afro-Americans. Miss Ferguson possesses a rich soprano voice, which is very effective with the classics. She has received several offers in the line of her profession since being in the city, and it is rumored that she may remain here permanently. "Mother" Bethel A. M. E. church held its fifth annual reception the latter part of April in honor of Pastor M. W. Thornton and family. The affair was liberally subscribed to and largely attended.

Dr. Thornton is now closing his fifth year at Mother Bethel, with the honor of being the only minister since Richard Allen that has held this charge in succession for such a number of years. In 1895 this young man was elected president of Campbell college, Jackson, Miss., which had been struggling for permanent footing for fourteen years. In less than two years he erected its first building on a plot of five acres of ground, gave it a full equipment and an enrollment of 200 students.

Professor Williams Holds First Institute at State Normal School. Bowie, Md.—The Institute For Colored Teachers of Prince George county held a two day session at the Maryland State Normal and Industrial school, No. 3, of this place, the latter part of March. It was the first institute held by Professor J. T. Williams, vice principal of the State Normal school and the newly appointed supervisor of the colored schools of Prince George county, an arrangement having been made with the state authorities of Maryland by which this school gets the benefit of Prince George county's allowance of $1,500 per annum for industrial training of colored students in exchange for the service of Professor Williams, whose mission it is to supervise and assist in introducing industrial features in the various colored schools of the county. The large attendance of teachers, parents and trustees far exceeded expectations and tested the chapel, dining and dormitory capacity of said school, which proved an ideal place for such a gathering and where Principal D. S. S. Goodloe, his charming wife and family and accommodating student body did all in their power to see that all were hospitably entertained and cared for in a most satisfactory manner. The welcome address by Principal Goodloe was a masterly effort, intensely practical and thoroughly appreciated by the visiting teachers, as was also the splendid example of well rounded and evenly balanced womanhood which was furnished the institute in the person of his better half, who is the mother of several healthy, courteous and intelligent children and who presides with equal grace and efficiency in the kitchen and other domestic departments of said school, as she does at the piano, where she proved a veritable artist in interpreting Mozart, Beethoven and Wagner. Every teacher of the thirty-eight colored schools of Prince George county except three, who were absent on account of illness, were present and participated in a lively discussion of the many interesting and practical subjects on the program. Special addresses were made to the institute by Hon. F. A. Sasscer, county superintendent, who is an ardent advocate of education for the colored people of Maryland, and by Professor William H. Davis, principal of the Colored Business High school of Washington. Hon. M. Bates Stevens, state superintendent of education, Maryland, sent a splendid letter to the institute, which was replete with encouraging sentiments and practical suggestions, and regretted his inability to be present, as he had planned. All of the thirty-eight buildings and sites used by colored students in Prince George county are owned by the county, four of them have more than one teacher, and the two recently constructed buildings at Fairmont heights and Bladensburg are valued at $1,500 and $1,200 respective Miss Carrie H. Bundick's Stage Work. Miss Carrie H. Bundick of Indianapolis, Ind., a dramatic performer of note, is filling engagements in St. Petersburg in a vaudeville show as Mme. Jadaha in the "Dancing Girl." Miss Bundick received her education for the stage in Chicago. She went to Europe about eight years ago. How the Recall of Decisions Works. Disrespect for law and order breeds crime of the most violent nature. Think of a person pronounced by a civil court as being innocent of the crime charged against him being lynched by a mob because it did not agree with the decision of the court. If this is the way the recall of decisions is to be operated American jurisprudence is far on the way to chaos and ruin. An instance of this kind recently. THE DEMONS OF THE SWAMP are mosquitoes.

KINDNESS OF THE NATIVES. President of the College of West Africa Gives Historical Sketch of Habits and Customs of Tribal Life on Dark Continent - Influence of Colored Americans. Yonkers, N. Y.-The Negro Society For Historical Research and its friends were highly entertained at a recent meeting by Dr. J. H. Reid of Monrovia, Liberia, president of the College of West Africa and editor of Liberia and West Africa, who delivered an interesting and instructive address, in which he sketched the progress which has been made by the little republic since it was founded in 1847. The first emigrants, he said, sailed from New York in the ship Elizabeth Feb. 5, 1820, and numbered eighty-eight souls. This was later followed with another and smaller expedition in 1821, which settled in Sierra Leone (Fourah bay), where they remained till January, 1822, when some of them were brought to Providence island, at the mouth of the Mesurdo river. Other expeditions followed so that now there is a native population of 2,000,000 representing many interior tribes, notably the Mandingoes, Pesehs, Greboes, Kroomen, Veys, etc. The recent aggressions of the French government in Liberia, which is seven degrees north of the equator, has brought that down from 45,000 to 3,000 square miles. The delimitation of the territory by a foreign power is still a subject of diplomatic correspondence, and, since Liberia is the last chance of the Negro to demonstrate his capacity for self government, it is sincerely hoped that no unfair advantage will be taken of the little struggling republic. There are 15,000 Americo-Liberians in Liberia, which means that they are the descendants of former emigrants from the United States, and they constitute a force in the social, religious and industrial life of the republic which cannot be ignored. This contact of the American Negro with the aborigines of Africa is doing more to bring Africa to the front than Dreadnoughts and Mauser rifles. The public school system of Liberia is under the direction of a board of nine members, one from each county in Liberia. While it has not reached the perfection desired, due to lack of sufficient funds, it is the aim of the board when the $60,000 fund will have become available to enlarge the scope of the present plans. The people of Liberia are still imbued with the thought expressed on the tomb of an early white missionary teacher who for many years devoted his life and his talents to the mental and moral unlift of the African people. "Let a thousand fall, but let not Africa be given up." The leading men of Africa today have, many of them, received the foundation of their education in the College of West Africa. Africans are not as is generally supposed in some quarters backward as students. Their minds are receptive, and they readily absorb knowledge. The natives are remarkably quick to learn. Particularly is this true of the Mandingoes Kroos, who are splendid mathematicians and linguists. They are fond of the study of abstruse problems, and their knowledge of astronomy is wonderfully accurate. There are many languages spoken in Liberia, due to the presence of various African tribes from the interior and of foreign races engaged in business among us. The Mandingoes are the most highly cultured tribesmen among us, and they speak and write Arabic with great fluency and precision. It is the testimony of all African travelers that the native Africans are the most hospitable of people. An African civilized or uncivilized will show the utmost courtesy to the stranger within their gate and give him the best they have without money and without price. He is the most grateful and the most spiritual and optimistic of all the races of mankind, and it may truly be said of us that we "write our benefits in marble and our injuries in dust." The ancients recognized these qualities and loved to descant on them. They seemed to regard the fear and love of God as the peculiar gift of the darker races. No one can accurately estimate the extent of the material resources of Africa. Its soil is practically virgin, and its possibilities are almost beyond human calculation. There are gold and silver and iron and precious stones and an infinite variety of every species of flora and fauna and live stock. Dr. Reid said that he was proud of the Negro Society For Historical Research, which is doing a needed work and a good work in bringing to public notice the achievements of Negroes throughout the world. When he returned to Africa he would co-operate with it gladly and interest some of the leaders of thought in the fatherland in its race uplifting work. There are sixteen or seventeen weekly and monthly newspapers published in Africa, among them West Africa and Liberia, edited by Dr. Reid and set up by the stude ts of the College of West Africa. WEALTH WILL NOT SOLVE PROBLEM Race Wants Political and Civil Rights Protected. STRONG PLEA FOR JUSTICE Brooklyn Women Hold Enthusiastic Meeting in the Interest of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People—Spingarn, Morton and Stewart Plead Cause. By Mrs. LYDIA C. SMITH. Brooklyn. — Interest in the work of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People continues to grow in public favor among both races. Besides the lectures by Dr. W. E. B. Du Bols in various sections of the country from time to time, mass meetings are regularly held in the large cities of the country, in which the organization maintains branch headquarters. Acting upon the initiative of the Equal Suffrage league of this city, a committee of women, with Dr. V. Morton-Jones as president, recently held an enthusiastic meeting in the Bridge Street A. M. E. church, famed as a former underground railroad station, which was largely attended. The Rev. Dr. C. P. Cole, pastor of the church, acted as temporary chairman. After the singing of Julia Ward Howe's "Battle Hymn of the Republic" Dr. Cole introduced Mr. George E. Wilbecan as master of ceremonies. The principal speakers were James F. Morton, lawyer and author; Professor J. N. Spingarn, president of the New York branch of the association, and Mr. Gilchrist Stewart of the vigilance committee. Mr. Emory Jones was the solist of the evening, and Miss Eva Jackson was at the piano. Upon taking the chair Mr. Wibecan said: "These men who are to speak tonight are among the best citizens of this country. They are giving their time and money to aid in this movement to bring about a better understanding between the races in order that justice may be accorded to all alike. Personally they gain nothing but their work for human rights, which benefits the nation." Lawyer Morton said that the national association is not theoretical, but eminently practical in its aim to create right and just conditions. Prejudice is not only in the south, but right here in our northern cities. Ours is an organization of enlightenment to save both races. One ounce of justice is worth a ton of charity. Segregation on account of race or color should have no place in the work for human advancement, but every man or race should be given a chance to earn an honest livelihood and enjoy the blessings of our free institutions. Professor J. N. Splingarn, who had just returned in time for the meeting from an extended trip south, said: "I feel now that the Americans need the organization more than any specific race. I wish I could tell you of the knowledge that I have gained by investigation. I have seen the colored people, from the medical college president down through nearly every form of business and the laborer, and have noted the marvelous progress made by them in forty-eight years against organized prejudice. I have noted the accumulation of money and property, but the accumulation of wealth alone will save no race, for all can be taken away in a minute if it has no political rights." Mr. Glicchrist Stewart, who with Professor Spingarn and other members of the vigilance committee secured the first conviction in New York city of a theatrical manager for violation of the civil rights law for refusing orchestra seats to an Afro-American, also made a strong plea for fairness and urged our people to stand by the organization and thereby show to the wealthy and influential white people who are working for the race through the national association as did the abolitionists for the freedom of the slaves. Congressman William M. Calder sent a letter of regret that he could not be present, but heartily approved of the work which the organization is doing for the advancement of American citizenship. Rev. George Frazier Miller, Dr. William L. Hunter and the Rev. J. Ernest Robinson also took part in the program. The officers in charge of the meeting were Dr. V. Morton-Jones, president; Mrs. A. W. Seay, vice president; Mrs. Lydia C. Smith, secretary; Mrs. M. C. Lawton, assistant secretary, and Mrs. Peter Harrison, treasurer. The committee has raised $100 for the association within the past three months. This sum was presented at a meeting held at the Bethany Baptist church on Tuesday evening, May 21. Necessity for Educational Clubs. The organization of educational clubs in the large cities and rural districts for the purpose of encouraging public school attendance, as recently suggested by President John O. Spencer of Morgan college would be a direct benefit to our educational interests. It would not only encourage those who are in school, but would inspire many who are indifferent to take advantage of the opportunities for obtaining an education which are open to them. The suggestion is most timely, and the need for such organizations is imperative. PALMER HOTEL T. H.

WOMEN PRÉFER PARTY OF ACTION TO ONE OF PROMISE Anti-lynching Society Questions Sincerity of National Republican Party. Boston.-The Anti-lynching society, of which Mrs. M. C. Simpson is president, is not only working to create sentiment against the lynching of human beings as a substitute for punishment for offenders against the law instead of punishment according to law, but is wielding a potent influence along political lines. The society is taking a leading part with those persons and organizations which have for their aim the securing of the franchise to those of our male citizens who in many sections of the country are denied the exercise of their suffrage rights according to the amendments to the constitution of the United States. The members of the organization are in favor of a party of action rather than a party of promise—a political party that has the courage of its convictions, a party that will carry out as far as possible within the bounds of law its platform of principles in respect to securing just legislation for the benefit of the body politic and not simply as a means to personal ends for a few. Surely if this is the work which the women of the Anti-lynching society is endeavoring to do they deserve the hearty commendation and support of all persons of whatever race or political creed who favor equal justice and protection for all American citizens. In a recent circular letter issued by the society to Afro-American voters particularly attention is called to some of the unfulfilled pledges made by the Republican national convention in its platform four years ago in Chicago Portions of the platform alluded to are the following: "We demand equal justice for all men without regard to race or color. We declare again and without reservation for the enforcement in letter and spirit of the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the constitution, which were designed for the protection and advancement of the Negro, and condemn all devices that have for their real aim his disfranchisement for reason of color alone as unfair, un-American and repugnant to the supreme law of the land. "The Republican party has been for more than fifty years the consistent friend of the American Negro. It gave him freedom and citizenship. It wrote into the organic law the declarations that proclaim for his civil and political rights and believes today that his noteworthy progress in intelligence, industry and good citizenship has earned the encouragement of the nation." As the party has not enforced the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the constitution or condemned all devices (advisedly) against the 'disfranchisement of colored citizens nor enforced or made laws to prevent their being lynched, the society asks for what purpose such declarations were made. CRISIS SETS STANDARD. Confidence of Public In Matter Advertised Brings Success. BY ALBON LEWIS HOLSEY. In one of its recent issues the Crisis made an announcement which should set a precedent among Afro-American journals. As a rule, these papers do not exercise much discretion in the selection of their advertisers, and this laxity has done much to retard our commercial progress. Some publishers have not learned to say "No" when they have to choose between cash returns and the principle involved in eliminating worthless advertisements. A certain class of advertisements which formerly appeared in nearly all the papers run by white publishers are now found only in certain obscure periodicals and such papers edited by Afro-American as will take them. Clairvoyancy, lucky stones and cure-all patent medicines have been exposed as absolutely impossible propositions, and yet once in awhile we see these fakes advertised in some of our papers notwithstanding that they actually destroy the confidence of the reader, which is so necessary to successful and enduring journalism. After giving a definite statement of their advertising policy the management of the Crisis says: "Recently a full page advertisement came to us which was an investment proposition. The idea was a good one, and we hastened to investigate the integrity and business experience of the prospective advertiser. We found that he was honest and had saved a few hundred dollars, but his former activities had been directed along lines that did not give sufficient experience to justify his judicious investment of other people's money in an untried proposition. We therefore refused to sell him space." Coal and Kindling ERNEST HOWARD SHOP 1021 21st STREET Phone Champs 752 RES. 353 W.

THE "PORO" SYSTEM of Scalp and Hair treatment is based on the la- test scientific and sanitary methods, effecting a healthy scalp thus promoting a growth of beautiful hair. The "Poro" preparations used in connection with the treatment are made and sold exclusively by myself, having the exclusive right to that name; and I alone, know the secret of the composition that bears that name. Our claim has always been that when the hair begins to grow as the result of the use of "PORO," it will continue to do so if only the scalp and hair be kept clean. This sanitary method of treatment is also having the desired effect in helping to prevent the spread of diseases, for it is a fact that hair in an unsanitary condition carries the germs of disease which often proves fatal to innocent persons coming in contact with them.

Won Victory In Recent Murder Trial. By CLEVELAND G. ALLEN. New York.—Among the foremost colored lawyers of this city is J. Frank Wheaton, who has made an excellent record for efficiency in handling many difficult cases. His recent victory in clearing William D. Simms of a murder charge in Schenectady, N. Y., has won for Mr. Wheaton new laurels. Simms shot and killed one George Brodt in Schenectady in self defense. The murder of Brodt caused widespread alarm, as both Simms and Brodt were well known men in the community. Fear fell upon the little town as the news of the tragedy be came known. Realizing that the keenest legal ability had to be exercised in the defense. Simms sent for his old defense Wheaton to take up the case in his defense. Mr. Wheaton, on taking charge of the case, made a complete and thorough investigation of the case and secured some of the most prominent white citizens, including the chief of police, as witnesses, who testified to the good character of Simms. Mr. Wheaton discovered from reliable persons that Simms shot Brodt as the last resort in self defense. With this evidence to work upon Attorney Wheaton set about with energy to clear his client. The trial lasted for three days. The little courtroom was crowded during the three days' session of the trial, and the minds of the spectators centered upon the brilliant Negro lawyer who defended Simms. When Mr. THE UNION ATTORNEY J. FRANK WHEATON. ATTORNEY J. FRANK WHEATON. Wheaton made his address to the jury he was listened to with marked attention as he made a striking review of the case. When Judge Mayon, before whom the case was tried, made his charge to the jury eager ears waited the verdict. The jury retired and after a deliberation of seven and one-half hours returned with a verdict of not guilty. Mr. Wheaton came in for a large share of praise for his victory. The winning of this case by Mr. Wheaton adds another star to the long and brilliant record of his legal career. He has long figured in the national life of the country, and few lawyers of the race can boast of a similar legal career. He is well educated and thoroughly prepared for his life's work. It was in the west, before taking up his practice in New York, that he made his start as a lawyer. In Minnesota he was one of the most notable and interesting figures in the state. He won his spurs when a student in the State University of Minnesota, of which school he is a graduate in law, class of 1894. He was class orator and the first colored graduate of the school. His rise in the prominence of the state was rapid. He was appointed reading clerk in the state legislature in 1895. He was elected a member of the state legislature in Minnesota from the wealthiest district in the state and where but few colored voters resided. This testified to the wild influence of Mr. Wheaton among the white voters of the state. He is a prominent lodge man, being especially prominent as an Elk, of which he is grand exalted ruler. In the courts of New York Mr. Wheaton is considered one of the most brilliant lawyers at the bar, and his record in criminal cases is especially fine. Mr. Wheaton is a man of pleasing address and has a forceful personality. He easily makes friends and has a wide circle of friends among the business and professional class. His present activity in New York includes the presidency of the equity congress, a civil organization that is doing much good for the civic betterment of the race. RACE HAS BRIGHT FUTURE. People of Muskogee Pleased With Mrs. M. C. Terrell's Work. Muskogee, Okla.—The citizens of this far western town will not soon forget the masterly, eloquent and instructive address delivered here on Thursday, May 16, by Mrs. Mary Church Terrell of Washington. Mrs. Terrell is well known throughout the country as an able speaker and one of the leading women of the race. In a recent review of some of Mrs. Terrell's activities the Muskogee Cimeter carried a column of matter dealing with facts and incidents in her splendid career for the past decade. Mrs. Terrell was a member of the board of education in Washington for eleven years. She is an ex-president of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs. She was one of the speakers at the international congress of women in Berlin in 1904. Her address was considered to be one of the best delivered by any woman on the program during the sessions of the congress. Her plea for justice and Mary C. MRS. MARY CHURCH TERRELL. equality of opportunity for her race in the United States moved many persons in the audience to tears. In recognition of her long and valued services to the race on the board of education the citizens of Washington recently tendered Mrs. Terrell a magnificent testimonial. The people of Oklahoma join those in other states of the country in high appreciation of the work which Mrs. Terrell is doing for the race in creating correct and favorable sentiment for fair treatment of our people in respect to their civil and political rights. Mrs. Terrell's treatment of the race problem was inspiring. She is optimistic and presented convincing facts as to the present status of the race, its progress and future possibilities. She believes in liberal education for our young people and also urged our citizens to support the business enterprises among us. WELL QUALIFIED TEACHER. Mrs. Julia K. Shaw's Work Highly Appreciated by Students. Mrs. Julia K. Shaw, directress of domestic science in the Armstrong Manual Training school, in Washington, is one of the District's most active educational forces. She is a firm believer in the efficacy of domestic science in the promotion of human happiness and takes a lively interest in all that tends to present its virtues in an attractive light to the people of every kind and condition. She will turn out an excellent class in June. Her pupils are all loud in their praise of her because of the sympathetic attention she has given them throughout the long and exacting course. Mrs. Shaw has been invited to take charge of the domestic science work this summer at the Institute For Colored Youths at Cheyney, Pa., and may decide to accept. A better qualified instructor could not be found. Berean to Graduate Large Class. The commencement exercises of the Berean Manual Training school in Philadelphia are to be held on Thursday, June 13. The graduating class numbers twenty-five young men and women. The principal of the school, Dr. Matthew Anderson, has been eminently successful in carrying on the work of the institution. He is now in the midst of a big financial campaign. His aim is to raise $25,000 by the end of the term. Judge William N. Ashmead and other influential men of Philadelphia are members of the board of trustees. Progress of Foreign Mission Work. The work of foreign missions was ably presented at the general conference of the A. M. E. church, held in Kansas City, Mo., recently, by Bishop W. H. Heard of Monrovia, West Africa; Dr. W. W. Beckett, secretary of missions; Bishop J. Albert Johnson of Cape Town, South Africa; Rev. H. H. Stendy of Sierra Leone, and the Rev. J. P. James, who represents the denomination in Samanna, Santo Domingo. The progress of the work was described, and plans for the future were outlined. Freeman Puts the Race on Guard.
